Speaker 1 (00:00):
Miles. We have a disclaimer up top, an important disclaimer
that I want to share with the zeit Gang because
we talk about a story during the course of this
episode about Kawhi Leonard uh and about halfway through we
learned that that story is fake. We do learn, we
do correct the record live. But it would drive me

(00:23):
crazy if I was listening to a podcast and hearing
them report on a thing that I knew to be fake,
and I wouldn't be able to think about anything else.
So you should know that we know that Kauai story
is fake. Yeah, we knew that, so like, don't you know, yeah, yeah,
now we're actually reporting, we're actually recording this disclaimer. Before
we even recorded the episode, we knew that, and just like,

(00:45):
you know, yeah, we're just like, we thought it would
be cool if you thought we thought that it was
like that, but obviously we didn't because we're smart. Okay,

is how you do it. Diplomacy, Baby, We're here to
help you. Give us your oil. Eric. We're gonna get

(04:09):
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things
we're talking about. How we're gonna talk about the fact
that John Pa Juice has gone with an A k A.
It is their thirtieth anniversary and they just want to
go by Jomba. Now we're gonna talk about Justin bieber
Verus Tom Cruise for some reason. Uh, white people being

(04:31):
bad at pretending to be black people on the internet.
Uh go home bed. Oh, just being a general vibe,
general wave that's out there, gop s no flakery. Uh,
We're gonna talk about Trump's rousing rendition of no deal
or no deal with the Mexico border tariff thing. We're

(04:51):
gonna talk about the fact that Kawhi Leonard is an
alien and uh, the Apple based conversation that that not
not Apple the company, Apple the food. Uh. And then
we're gonna do a quick video game round up, because
we don't do that enough and as everybody knows on
the subject, and people just die into here my takes.
But first, Eric, let's get some of your takes. What

(05:13):
is something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are? The v M drive. The scientists have discovered
that they can sort of create a convert electricity into
microwaves and channel this electromagnetic radiation through a conical chamber.
It was like, basically they're working on this thing to
see how far they can get in space, right, like

(05:34):
can humans travel to like another galaxy? And we need yeah, right,
And so they had this mythical idea of of something
called an M drive and they recently discovered that they
can do it. Now, they haven't actually tested it out
in space, but they tested it in a sort of

(05:54):
lab and there was a slight movement and they're sort
of they're looking into it. Wow, that was my That
was my latest search. Now. I have been converting electricity
into microwaves in my kitchen for a long time. Scientists,
Yeah yeah, yeah, do you FSA, I do. Actually, I
have a highly secretive device called a microwave. What were

(06:18):
you gonna say, Miles, I'm sure I was just curious
it was the m drive something conceived in science fiction first,
or it was just a thing that was theoretically people
were thinking of, oh interesting. I don't know, but like
the beauty of science fiction is that they do sort
of come up with these ideas and then scientists are
like huh right, yeah, so but it was it was
an idea that most scientists were like, no, which is

(06:41):
which is such a stupid thing for scientists to say, exactly,
like until you've got evidence, like it's all possible. The
history of science is so full of scientists just being
like preposterous about ideas that it's like, I don't know,
don't you guys know by now that like ship is
going to get very weird in the future, just like
forty steps from now, puture, it's in the weird in

(07:04):
the year two thousand, things we're gonna get real weird. Man.
Uh yeah, they were talking about on last podcasts on
the Left. They were talking about a movement among sci
fi writers to try to write more utopian science fiction
because there's a belief in the sci fi community that
basically science fiction has been manifesting itself like if you

(07:27):
look at a lot of the like Watchman has a
president or a leader that looks a lot like Trump.
And so the idea is that rather than writing dystopian stuff,
you write utopian sci fi and we will somehow manifest
into that because we've also manifested a bunch of the
technology from sci fi. Yeah, and actually that I think

(07:49):
that makes sense. You watched the latest Black Mirrors season
so episode one. I'm not going to reveal too much,
but it's actually one of the beautiful episodes. Oh, it's
one of the nicety nine. Yeah, and it gives an
idea of like, hey, it's not all scary in the future,
like as long as we guide it towards a beautiful
way of looking at it, right, right, And so yeah,
I quite like that. Nice. What is something you think

(08:12):
is underrated? Underrated? Well? Actually that the study of mythology. Okay,
my dad, I read a book called Mythos by Stephen
Fry earlier this year, and I also read Norse Mythology
by Neil Gaiman earlier this year. And my dad saw
me with those books. He was like, what are you
fucking reading these four? Right? I was like, Oh, I
just want to know like about the past. It was

(08:32):
like its history and it like forget about it. I
was like, Dad, like no, and I like his attitude,
and they're like, yeah, okay, it's in the past. You
can sort of move forward. But I think the only
way to really move forward is by knowing our past
and and mythology. It's about all these you know, multiple gods,
which I don't believe in, but at the same time,
you then read about it and it's like, Okay, the

(08:53):
first god was chaos, which is the universe. Okay, great,
and then you look at other guards and I was like, wow,
the etymology of these gods and how like they're still
in our language, you know, and then you I was
kind of overwhelmed after I read it because I was like, well,
they're still around, right, yeah, you know. And then it
was kind of it adds poetry to life, which I
really like. Like Wind is a god and so now

(09:14):
when I feel Wind, I'm like, he kissed by gad
fires in there you know this is hot water. Well,
he's he's a beautiful he's a beautiful story of time
about Captain Planet. Now, I like remember because they each
had earth, wind, what fire, like everyone had the guy's voice.

(09:34):
Heart was more for like, yo, let's make this bear
chill the funk out right? Okay, well it is heart love. Yeah,
I think you need you need love to you take
care of the planet. Yeah. Oh yeah, I've been looking
at trees lately. Can I just say that my dick
is hard for trees? Oh my god? Something I just

(09:55):
remember someone in the show was I weren't obviously, you know,
procreate with a tree. I I think it's possible. Lately,
I've been looking at trees like ship. I breathe out
what you need and you breathe out one. Let's just
hang out, let's just kiss. Wow, it's been nice. It's
been a weird adventure. How many home depots have you
been kicked out? The gardening areas? They're like that guy's

(10:17):
back in the nurser, back licking the pond. I wouldn't
go to the nurse. Well, okay, we met only fully
over one year old plus trees. The tree though, what
what tree would it be? General Sherman. Okay, Wow, you
knew I was gonna I was gonna say, do you

(10:37):
are you an expert on just what you call people
who want to fuck inanimate objects or do you really
want to suck trees? And that's why you had that.
You know what's there's um this this performance artist named
Paul McCarthy. Paul McCarthy, I was gonna say, I don't
know if you've had of Paul McCartney. He's been in
a little band Lend Mine on Lemon. He does a

(11:02):
lot of like really freaky art and I remember one
of the like when my dad was in grad school
like for art. You know, he didn't there was no
babysitters or whatever, like you know, my both of my
parents were working, so he would drag me a lot
of art shows. And there's just one piece that or
this show that Paul McCarthy did where one of the
there was like an animatronic of a lumberjack just fucking

(11:22):
humping a tree. And I remember seeing it as a
kid and I was like, what the fuck is It
was like one of my first times going like remembering
going to an art show. But that's imprinted on you,
That's imprinted from the Helter Skelter Show. So now yeah,
now I just think about I have a little you know,
I have like a catalog of trees I look at
and admired them. But you know, I don't think I'm
gonna take my relationship to the physical levels. I enjoyed

(11:44):
the breathing. I have to say. I a gentleman. I
once received a blow job inside a tree, inside it
and like, yeah it was it was actually hand. Um
you ever said? You haven't said which trade? Oh? Yeah, interesting,

(12:08):
Mine's eucalyptus, just because I think the height. Yeah, you
you are kind of eucalyptus. E Um. That's good. That's
a good question. Probably probably the big redwoods up in
up in nor General's General Sherman is one of the
samest ones. You know. Yeah, you can drive through it. Yeah,

(12:30):
I mean exactly exactly, Bro, you already know, yeah you
know what? Uh, what's happen is? Yeah? No, mine is
actually bonds eye tree. Oh damn, delicate, feel big. I
feel like the opposite of General Sherman. Look at what
happened to our show? What is something you think is overrated?

(12:52):
Videos of puppies and kittens online? Overrated? Yeah? So I
understand that we need them, Mr tree Man, because I
love them. There's nothing better than seeing a puppy or
a kid and doing something beautiful, hard floora and no
fun but I find that they are sort of numbing

(13:13):
us to the fact that there's loads of pain in
the world, and it's like, don't worry, just look at
these puppies and bleach I bleach as we call it. Yeah,
And so that's the one thing that I find beautiful
in a way, but also frustrating, is that the Internet
is like the most retweets will be like a video
of a cat doing something hilarious and then someone going, hey,

(13:33):
Flint doesn't get any waterweets, mate, but the dog looking
a cat hundred million. Well, I think it's just because
people feel so powerless over these are those other things, right,
so that just like builds on the powers within you.
Captain Barnett here gonna take down. Used to do the
remix in school, I would say take pollution up to

(13:55):
one hundred. Didn't like that. Your teacher was familiar with
the Captain play. Yeah, she was like, we're the planet tears.
You could be one two because saving our planet is
the thing to do. Looting and polluting is not the way.
Here's what Captain Planet has to say. Wow, your powers
come by you. I was fucked up off, Captain. Oh yeah,

(14:19):
well that was the that was a Planet of Tears. Alright,
my bad. Yeah, I am not familiar with that show.
Did you just miss that generationally? I guesserationally, I just
think I wasn't paying attention to exactly. But yeah, I
also probably might be too old for it yet, Jason
Pargeon writes, says David Wong. Sometimes we'll combine the two,

(14:40):
so he'll write a really depressing article and put in
images of kittens and puppies to like sort of break
it up. That's also a way to go about it.
That makes sense a bit balance and uh and finally,
what is a myth? Eric? What is something that people
think is true that you know to be false or
vice versa. Well, so we're just talking about before getting on,
A asked that I believe that people that experience mania,

(15:03):
I'm not actually mad, but they're actually tapping into something
bigger than ourselves, which I find interesting. So I experienced
mania two months ago and it was honestly one of
the best experiences of my life. And it's changed how
I view things. And I used to thing that I
knew everything, and now I'm like, I feel like I'm
back to square one. You really thought you thought you

(15:23):
knew everything. No, but like I was, I am quite smart,
Like I used to be ashamed of saying I'm quite smart,
and I'm like, no, you know what, I was such
a nerd at school. I read all about the science, maths,
all about the I'm just a nerd like and I
got to a point and Albert Einstein even says it,
the more you study science, the more you start believing
in God. And I wasn't into that because I was like, no,

(15:43):
no God. And now I'm like why, I don't know?
And in Mania is what gave me that little flavor
of like what am I experiencing? And it was And
it's a nice balance between you know, I keep a
journal now because I'm going, hey, you could be mentally
ill and the way I like the one thing I
said that some psychiatrists came to see my stand up

(16:03):
show in London and they came up to me afterwards
and they were like, you need to do this show
to like a psychiatrist and patients. Right. I was like, yeah,
I'd like to do that, and they were like, and
they said, because psychiatrists they know how the brain works,
they know the details, but they've not experienced it. And
to explain it to like a really simple way, which
I sort of I'm trying to work on. I guess
is someone that could create beer might know the ingredients

(16:27):
exactly how to make beer, but if they've never tasted it,
or if they've never been drunk on it, they don't
know everything about beer, right, And that's how I feel
about psychiatrists, is that you might know exactly how to
make beer, you ain't drank any of it about beer,
shut up. And sometimes it's good that the people making
your beer aren't drunk. And so I feel like it

(16:51):
would be nice if a scientist out there would explore
mania as not a mental breakdown, but as a possibility,
see that it opened a gateway to something else. Yeah, yeah, no,
that's really and that's where I'm at, and I think
it's I feel like just one thing you briefly touched
on is that people at the mental health facility were

(17:17):
actually helpful, because you you rarely hear that in popular culture,
just any culture in general. It's always the one flu
over the Cuckoo's Nurse Ratchett type ship. Don't be be
wrong like it. I felt like that a little bit,
you know, like I had to learn how to trade
cigarettes for things, which was really interesting. They you know,

(17:38):
there's this shot. There's a lot a lot of time
in movies. You see the shot of these mental patients
just wondering the holes, and you look at that and
you're like, man, they're so mad. No, they haven't got
anything to do. I was doing that. I was just
wondering the holes, just going all right, I gotta kill
some time. And and then like, for example, I would
start making myself laugh because I'm just on my own
kind of thing. And so then I was like, WHOA,

(18:00):
from an outside perspective, I'm not. But it wasn't I
was mad. I was just I was just enjoying. Yeah,
fill my time. Yeah, well, this definitely warrants some follow up.
People should go see you live or read whatever book
you eventually write on the subject. Appreciate that. Um, alright,

(18:20):
but we have important things to get to because John
the Juice u S sorry, John Juice. Now John Juice
has important things to tell us. Uh. So they are
celebrating their thirtieth anniversary as an institution, and they're doing
so by doing a thing that like all brands are
now doing. It seems just cut the other part just

(18:42):
Jomba Baby, no Jomba juice anymore. That makes sense because
I'm guessing that they are exploring that different avenues don't
just juice. The same thing when Duncan Donuts was like
calls Duncan or KF KFC is like, we're not really
Kentucky Fried. Let's just go KFC or I hobb, which
we still have to do battle. Let's not talking about
in the seventh circle of Hell. Would eye hoop over

(19:03):
their stupid ass marketing. Um but yeah, I think, well, yeah,
exactly for the exact reason that John Rejuice wants to
be like, look, we do more than juices, but we
do more than sugar drinks. Basically we do other weird
things like pretzels that aren't that good. Yeah. I mean, look,
I'm I support them. You know, in their journey thirty years,

(19:24):
I didn't think it was that fucking old, But I
guess I don't. I was only around like when it
fully like crested the way that crested and all the
franchises open. We weren't aware like during the first five
years when they were probably just like a couple of
shops here and there. But um, yeah, I'm gonna now
go by jazz. Wow, I'm shortening it. You mean job

(19:45):
jah Brian just joh yeah, yeah, you got one little
dreadlock going. That's you haven't breshed my hair, damn it
lockedow the weekend one dreadlock. Yeah, I mean, I yeah,
I I hope. I again, I wish you luck. I hope.
I don't know if this is going to help your business,

(20:06):
but you know, they're really like they're all the stories
have like facelifts or they're in the process of changing everything.
So I'm just you know, I will have I think
I drink about one jomba juice every three years, so yeah, yeah,
I think you keep a diary, yes, or I just
every like multiples of three, so in two I will
have one. I happen this year I don't have one since.

(20:27):
That's amazing that you can keep that going in your head.
Oh yeah yeah, certain things, you know, that's how we do.
Your body just naturally recognize that, like has every two year,
craving for try every three years, yes, and just somebody
I wake up and I go, I need a Caribbean passion. Yeah,
so they're yeah, I mean exactly, I don't know what

(20:47):
I don't. I don't know what tastes like. No, I
want some Caribbean passionate. Yeah, everybody loves Caribbean. Yeah, I mean,
I'm not a strawberry, so with juices and bowls. It's
it sounds like they're going they're trying to be sort
of a lower price point cafe gratitude less less uh
without the affirmations. Yeah, exactly. Are there cafe Gratitudes outside

(21:08):
of l A. I don't know, are there? Who knows?
It's a very l A thing where all the menu
items are basically affirmations like I'm there having I love myself.
It's a vegan restaurant with yes, each menu item is
and I think, like didn't like the place mats are
like in their coasters, like sacred geometry on it, so
when you put your water glass on it, like it's
feeding back the sacred geometry to your water or some ship.

(21:29):
I mean, I'd never heard that, but I just felt
it as I drank check out like later, Alice by tool, Dude,
they use the whole fucking sacred geometry to fucking basic
right that it's the next level. It's that Cafe Gratitude said, yeah, yeah,
that's an interesting I'd visit that place because you know
those it sounds silly like calling a coffee I love myself, right,

(21:49):
but generally if you walk into that, you'll then pick
up that all right, It'll get in your head so
you subconsciously you'll be like I love myself, which is
actually smart sort of psychological way to people and manipulate
them into helping themselves and also people into being hippies.
It's our liberal agenda that we've all been talking about

(22:11):
for years. Like, yeah, because the guacamole is called connected,
so in Alabama the sorry fuck you Yeah, what would
be that Alabama coffee shop? Like what would that coffee
be called? I don't know Alabama? In Alabama, I don't know.
They might be like not today, but I think with
cafe gratitude, you know, it's the same way. Like imagine

(22:32):
if you went to a restaurant with like the water
is called fuck you mayb, you'd be like, yo, the
vibe here isn't fucked up, so it's true, like if
you just switch it, if everything is positive, then I
don't think you're gonna go in there and be like
I don't know unless people have yeah or you have
like that CULTI look in your eye and you're like, hi,
welcome to gratitude, and you're like, m I'll just have guacamole.
They're like, um, you mean connected, I'm sorry? What all right,

(22:57):
We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
And we're back, and Justin Bieber is back in the
news because uh, and this is just gonna be a

(23:17):
real brief check in, but he just reads between. Okay,
So Justin Bieber, I want to challenge Tom Cruise to
fight in the octagon. Tom, if you don't take this fight,
you're sick. Why oh you are scared and you will
never live it down. Who is willing to put on
the fight? Question mark Dana White? Question mark, Um, no

(23:39):
one knows what this is. Yeah, no context, no context.
Nobody knows is going on. Nobody. Connor McGregor stepped into
was like, all my company will put the fight on
if Tom Cruise agrees, But like, what the funk are
they going to do? I don't even understand why they
would fight? Yeah? Is did something happen? Is it? Because
what Tom Cruise is? What fifty He's six will be

(24:00):
fifty seven in July. Justin Bieber. How old is Justin Bieber?
What's Justin been up to? Since he's sort of not
been up too much he's twenty five. Yeah, yeah, I
don't know. It seems like this might be he's married,
you know. Yeah, people have been concerned about his mental
health in the tabloids always how old is and he's

(24:23):
been basically dafied since the age of thirteen fourteen. Yeah,
that makes sense. So like, because the prefrontal cortex, the
part of the brain that sort of deals with complex
thinking and social skills and and just your your thoughts,
it takes about twenty five years to develop. So if
he's twenty five now, it means that his brain has
developed during that time. And yeah, he has been this

(24:45):
sort of deity to the world. So like his brain
must be like I was telling you about how like
we've all got different brains. His world, his world must
be insane because he's actually developed as as a sort
of super celebrity, all right, and he's only had people
saying like, yes, justin whatever you need justin. Oh my god,

(25:05):
that's a read justin Like and then I mean, who
knows where that takes. The self edit function is not
highly developed on him. But I mean, first of all,
I think Tom Cruise will beat the fucking ship out
of Justin experience. Yeah, and I mean he's his own
stunt man. Tom Cruise is not scared of breaking a bone. Well,
I don't know, I don't. I mean, I respect Justin
for his music because I saw him do a bit

(25:27):
of drumming when he was like six, and I was like,
holy crap, you're good, right, but but but I've not
seen him like getting a scrap right. Well, Tom Cruise
like he'll break bones from like falling out of a
helicopter and then like Zeno, the Lord's Savior of Scientology
will be like you're healed exactly. Jump was Justin Bieber
coming in the ring with because Tom Cruise bringing Zeno

(25:48):
in there. He's got that Jesus caf tattoo. Man, that's true,
But I mean I don't know. Jesus must as Zena.
They have to dress up as those deities. Then you
have a real Then we've got a fight and have
completely made a mockery of both of them. And I'm
great fine new versus Jesus as played by Justin Bieber
and Tom Cruise, But yeah, I mean I don't know.

(26:10):
I'm really curious what is this. Also, the cynical part
of me is like, Okay, what are they promoting? Right,
because this clearly you're just now you've put two names together,
and now there's a ton of write ups about Tom
Cruise and Justin Bieber. What will happen? It could be
as simple as like he's just like had a weird
episode and he he was like, who's the most powerful
person in Hollywood? Which you could say Tom Cruise is

(26:33):
one of him, right, And he was like, I feel
like this is a very old man reference for a
five year old, Like I would expect him to just
be finding out who Tom Cruise is. Maybe he was
watching something and he was like, yeah, I bet I
could beat Tom Cruise. As like, nah, come on, Justin
James tight, he's on a motorcycle shooting guns. Come on now,
maybe watch Tropic Thunder. He's got a bit of a

(26:54):
bold head. He's seeing Traffic Thunder for the first time. Ago,
damn Tom Cruise. Let his ship beating this version Tom Cruise.
They're like, that's all right, never mind, Justin. I do
like the idea of the psychology of somebody who's just
been watching Tom Cruise's career the whole time, just being like, God,
I can't kick that guy's ass. When am I going
to be able to kick that guy's ass? And finally

(27:16):
like he hit up it. Yeah, whenever you tweeted that,
he whatever, He did his like push ups in a
row and he said, I promised myself when I could
do that, I'm ready to beat Tom Cruise. Beating up
Tom Cruise as you're like monomaniacal, like captain aheb goal
is Uh? I like I like that character. Yeah, we need,
we need to develop that. So watch this space. We're

(27:38):
just gonna check in here with a reminder that white
people are bad at pretending to be black people on
the internet. I wanted to revisit this trend. Uh. Can
I just say as a comedian, I really wanted to
do some sort of voice as you said that that
would have been the comedy moment. But I was like,
just okay, here's my black voice. Hello everyone, Hello everyone,

(28:04):
I'm not very measured. Oh I'm sorry. Did I not
meet your societal expectation of what else was? Then? I
believe you are the bad person. Oh shit. So there
is a trend that goes back probably as long as
there's been the Internet, where you know, white people do
a bad job sock puppeting their own politics with burner accounts,

(28:27):
uh meant to convince other white people that black men
usually are who they want them to be. Uh. In
the very early days of t d Z, we covered
the I forget what the name of the street is
some famous Houston street loot crew in the aftermath of
Harvey in Houston, because white gun owners have a recurring

(28:48):
fantasy that they'll get to shoot people who are trying
to enter their home, uh, and get to shoot looters
who are trying to loot their home during a hurricane.
And it was just just horribly clearly your grandfather trying
to do a wrap. It was like someone saw episode
of a Different World, and I thought that's how black
people talk. Yes, and it was from and then plus

(29:10):
on top of all this slang was it sounded like
what you hear at like if you ever hear somebody
do a bad impression of what they think African American
persons talks like, is what those tweets red like? And
you're almost reading this ship like, yes, what is this? So? Uh?
Somebody did a search an image reverse image search on

(29:30):
the avatar of somebody on Twitter named the Dope Conservative. Uh,
and they found that their avatar was a stock photo
for black guy glasses. Yeah, it's a it's one of
the early Google image searches, and it's on one of

(29:50):
the stock photo houses. And his tweets include such gems
as what is it about black conservatives that confuse you
crackers so much? He exist exclamation um. Clearly, why did
this come account come up? Uh? Why somebody like just
discover They're like, you know this account. There's something going

(30:10):
on over here with the dope Conservatives. Yes, I think
somebody just pointed out the fact that they were clearly
not the avatar that they had these other tweets. Yes,
Megalish Uh. Megali Ish eight three pointed out that there's
another tweet. Uh, I'm just gonna read it to you guys.

(30:32):
Brother just trying to work his way out of poverty
and Democrats be like, stay on welfare boy. Uh. And
then so that would be enough to blow your mind. Yes,
on the nose it is. But then that tweet closes
out with this Jim funk out of here with that
jive talk. Well that was close. Funk out of here

(30:54):
is very that's very that's very modern or not modern,
but like that's a very East Coast thing. If it
would have been better if he just did fo h
um and with funk out fuck out of here, like
not even funk out of here, fun out of here,
with that jive doc. It does feel like whoever wrote this,
if he had to create a French character, it would
be like, oh, I can't believe everyone because I'm actually French,

(31:19):
I don't sound it. And every time people are like,
oh sacco blu right, and I'm like no, no, no,
like this is only in Disney movie. What does sacred
blue even means? Sacred blue? And it's like an expression
like oh fuck, which I'm sure existed right at some point,
but no one's ever going to say that in France.
The only time I hear it is when Americans are

(31:40):
like and so like, I believe that this this guy,
whoever this white guy is, should write actually some spoof
accounts for like every country, yes, sure, just to see
what he comes out with. Was this was the account
trying to basically just pretend that there was sort of
this blast deservative person who was like man Trump really

(32:03):
fucking pulling up of my people. Ya, yes, exactly what
is on the end because that's tight. Yeah, because they were,
you know, they were tired of being called racist by
their kids and everybody at Thanksgiving, and so they were like,
what if I created I'll do the Twitter version of Loquisha.
This exactly the Twitter version of the like es, what

(32:25):
is your old man's behind that account? You think I'm cool? Now?
I talked like the brothers. Uh, let's talk about that guys. Um. Yeah,
that's enough of that. So Betto is still out here,
uh running run Betto run. Yeah, And the newest poles

(32:47):
out of Iowa are everything's tightening up up top. You
got your Bidens and you're Bernie Sanders and you're Elizabeth
Warrens and your Pete Buddhist boodoo to judges all getting
like closer together. Um, So it's not like a runaway
thing in Iowa. Uh. And Kamala Harris is at five

(33:11):
percent with seven percent support. Bet Oh, where's bet Um?
He says, there's still plenty of time. Yeah, I don't know.
You know, bet Oh, it was a terrible announcement you made.
It didn't everything was wonky. Then you just started jumping
up on tables, you became a meme, and you wasn't

(33:34):
able to quite convert on that Senate run. And it
seems like a lot of people, even in Texas or
you know, at least the respondence to a certain poll
of Democrats in Texas, six of them want him to
just knock off the presidential cosplay and just come run
for corn and seat in the Senate, which is great
because I think that that is something that Democrats really need,
are some very good challengers in the Senate because that's

(33:57):
where the fucking, the real grid lock is happening. Um,
so yeah, I don't know about oh, you know, it's uh,
you know, if you if you feel like there's more time,
maybe they'll maybe something will happen. Who knows, maybe Joe
Biden will pick you to be the running mate. And
that's why you're stilling it out. And that was a rumor, right,
people say something like that. Yeah, but yeah, good luck, cool,
very cool ticket. But yeah, I mean I'm surprised how

(34:20):
much you know Buddha Judges Now he's really in the
mix with Bernie and Elizabeth Warren now and Klma Harris. Yeah,
so Kama Harris is now she isn't even in double
double digits, so yeah, yeah has surged. Warren has continued
to search, so yeah, and her ideas, there's been a
few there are a few pieces that came out over

(34:40):
the weekend that we're sort of pointing to the fact
that her just prolific output of policy papers is actually
helping nudge many of the other candidates to get their
ship together on policy. So you know, yeah, she's doing
her homework. Well, thanks for both teaching me that, because
I didn't really keep up to date with American politics. Yeah,
you don't need to, honestly, because it's all a healthscape,

(35:01):
you know, and and I'll find us in the UK,
it's not exactly Yeah. Well m hm uh. Let's talk
about our grand old party, the Republicans. So the House
Judiciary Committee is having their lessons from the Mueller Report
presentation this week. It started yesterday, and the Republicans wanted

(35:23):
to kind of set the guidelines for what you were
and we're not allowed to say yeah, because this is
kind of like Jerry Nadler's way of saying, like, well,
let's get experts in here to talk about the Mueller
Report in a very clear way, so American people was
just like, here, what's happening, even if you didn't read it.
We'll have former U. S. Attorneys, uh, people who are
involved in the Watergate investigations, just to explain things like

(35:47):
obstruction of justice, just to kind of get people on board.
But Doug Collins from Georgia is really wanting people to
be civil throughout this whole process, and he's doing it's
so lame. He's like basically saying, don't don't like come
with the president too hard during this thing. Okay, this
I'm just going to read part of this letter that
he sent to. Jerry Nadler, who is the chairperson of

(36:08):
the committee, said, in light of Monday's hearing entitled Lessons
from the Mueller Report Presidential Obstruction other Crimes, I'm compelled
to remind you and request you remind the majority members
of the committee the rules of the House prohibit members
of quote, engaging in personalities with members of Congress, senators,
or the President. This appears to be part of a
strategy to turn the committee's oversight hearings into a mock

(36:28):
impeachment inquiry rather than a legitimate exercise in congressional oversight.
So then he basically goes on to say, like there's
certain language that shouldn't be used because of like certain
decorum rules of decorum in the House under the standard,
the following remarks regarding personal conduct, demeanor or attributes have
been held out of order as unparliamentary references. So these
are things that Doug Hans saying, don't say this stuff

(36:51):
during these hearings, which is one discussing personal conduct even
as a point of reference or comparison to cowardly or
cowardice or lack personal courage. Three quote a little bugger
for quote disgusting and quote despicable, quote disgraceful, quote disgusting
and indecent. Scared of a little bugger, Like that's going

(37:14):
to be the thing that ultimately brings Trump down. That
sounds like a very British know, I know, like where
did that come floor of parlace. Someone must have been
watching down to nappy before they you know you were
you were talking about like the language and how it
should be used. I'd love to just hear maybe the
couple of the first couple of sentences of that letter,
but read as a love letter. Can you just give

(37:34):
me a little taste in light of Monday's hearing entitled
Lessons from the Muller Report, My Beloved Presidential Obstruction and
other Crimes. No, I don't think it works because it's
still the point is still please don't use adjectives that
are to describe the president's behavioral conduct. And then there's
still more like saying quote not a large enough person

(37:55):
to apologize arrogant, mean spirited, cruel, ill tempered or lacking
temperament or infantile throwing quote hissy fits quote, was rooting
against or was turning one's back on the American people.
So this is a list of things that they know
are true about the president that they don't want them

(38:15):
to say say or that's what he's just saying. It
is not, Yeah, it is not in order to call
the president a quote liar or accuse such person of
quote lying right, and then it just goes on with
more things. Don't talk about deception, deceit, acting in a
duplicitous manner. So, yes, very much trying to say like
they have to be coddled through this because I think,

(38:37):
as you know, you want to deal in self delusion
so much when you're having to be confronted by these
other people who are looking at and being like, this
is actually reprehensible for a president. What are you guys doing?
Their only defense is like, can you guys like not
just remind us like and then but use the civility shield.
It is interesting. It's like, how do you talk to
a child who has been spoiled? Because essentially what the

(39:00):
word infantile is perfect And we even discussed it about
the brain again, the first twenty five years of your
life is how you develop. Imagine the world that Trump
developed in in the first twenty years of his life.
His dad probably was away all the time, hated him, right,
I don't know. I don't know anything about his mom,
so I'm not going to guess too much. But he
had to never be hungry, He never had to like

(39:22):
he has no concept of struggle. He has none, none
of it, I think, aside from maybe his like his baldness.
I mean that's the kind of think he'd like, damn
it whatever. But it's never like, oh, I can't have
heard my medical bills. There has been and I hope
I don't offend anyone in a way, but also get

(39:43):
over it that there has been studies about how like
you know, very rich people who don't experience struggle in
that sort of development stage. They remain in this sort
of infantile stage because they have no idea of struggle,
while poorer people have to balance everything right, and so

(40:04):
they're actually like puzzle they're all puzzle solvers because they
have to just do what they can with the best
that they can. Well, rich people just got money for
money at it. And it's really interesting to like observe that. Like,
since reading that, I'm like, oh, yeah, like, and I'm
not talking about rich people that like made it from nothing.
I'm talking about the ones that were just born into it, right,
and they are like money millions of dollars. Like, he

(40:28):
was a millionaire by the time he was like two
or three years old. So yeah, yeah, he's self made
millionaires a baby. Let's not forget that. Let's not take
that away from it. He was born. Yeah, So it
is interesting that like they have to go, look, don't
talk to him like a kid because he is sixty nine,
even though he is a kid in his head. Right.
It's wild. It also has the distinct ring of like

(40:52):
when you when you hear about how celebrities are treated
like it's very much, just like shielding them from very
specific things they know are going to set them off,
like like the John McCain. Yeah, so guys like we
all have to look like a mean boss or something. Yeah,
it's just everybody has this sort of cover your ass

(41:15):
from a temper time. That's why I think it's doubly
important for people when they look at presidential candidates. The
thing I'm most concerned is, does this person actually have
a real experience with struggle or the imbalance in this country.
Because if it's someone like don't that's abstract to Dom Trump,
that is fucking abstract to Joe Biden, that is abstract
to a lot of candidates, And then there are the

(41:36):
few that actually you can tell by the way they
talk and the issues that they see being the biggest
problems in this country are coming from a place of
being like I understand or even if I didn't experience it,
I have I can very deeply empathize with the situation
of somebody who's struggling to make ends meet on a
very basic level. Because most people they're still they still
have their class blinders onto the world and think everything

(41:57):
is just this one way, and if you don't. If
you didn't make it is because you weren't good. You
should have made better deals. That's why, Okay, coltes is
just coming out of the darkness and everyone's like I
like this lady. Yeah, well exactly, and just connecting to
very real things and it's not like these big, broad,
overly generalized like takes on the economy, like right growth

(42:18):
versus like hi is your is your? Is your asthma?
In haler like bankrupting you because it's so expensive? Because
I know that's happening to people. And if you're not,
if you're not a millionaire, then that is in a
terrible situation for you to be in. What other other
medications or whatever? So yeah, you know, yeah medica. So exactly.
I think we should ask all presidential candidas at the debate,

(42:39):
like what kind of broke person meal they've they eaten?
Like what kind of broke per struggle meal they've had?
And if they're like what is that, I'm like, okay,
never mind, they're like what is this? They're like the
most thing you've ever done with? Top round? What's tap? Raymond?
What tap? Bring? You'll get him out of here? Um. So,
but the idea about and this lessons from the Mother

(43:01):
Report presentation is that it's sort of impeachment light or
beginning the impitent engagement proceedings, because and like, let's start
doing a show here. Let's start getting people experts out
in front to describe what is what the Muther Report is,
as we can't get Robert Mueller to speak on it,
have people who are just as just as much experience
in the Department of Justice or being an attorney for

(43:21):
like a federal prosecutor to say, I've tried many crimes.
To me, this is obstruction. The only difference is it's
the president, so there's weird rules around what we can
say about it. But if we remove all the labels
and just just if we can distill this down to
what it is, if this is obstruction or you know,
all the myriad of other things that disturbed me that report. Yeah,

(43:43):
all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And guys, I want to
talk about quiet ard Um. Who's that man? I ask?
He is apparently the best player in the NBA. It

(44:06):
wasn't clear heading into the playoffs, but he has loaded
the country of Canada onto his back and just dragged
them to the Promised Land. And I'm wondering if this
is all part of a viral marketing stump for Men
in Black International, because they do have a campaign where

(44:27):
Anthony Davis turns out to be an alien. Uh And
I'm I'm wondering if this is all a slow role
where like once he's on the podium accepting the award,
he'll reveal that he's an alien or something, because I
don't know, this is no no, but anyways, I just

(44:49):
have this one quote that is further evidence that he's
definitely an alien. Uh. So this is about his time
with the San Antonio Spurs years ago. Well, with the Spurs,
Kauai was known for his love of red apples. One
time after practice, everyone decided to go out for a
team dinner pops like team dinners or legendary and he

(45:11):
would take them to like amazing restaurants and like share
he's like one of the best wine mines in America.
Like he's like a soume. Yeah, he's like like psalms,
respect the ship out of him. Wow. I like I
like his new skills. But anyways, at one of these
meals takes everybody out after practice for a team dinner.

(45:34):
When it was his turn to order, Kauai waved off
the waiter and instead pulled out a bag of twelve apples.
Coach Popovich asked what he was doing, and Kauai simply replied,
Apple time, Apple Time. He then ate all twelve apples
with a knife and fork yo, like on a plate,

(45:56):
like not even like cart like peeling it or whatever,
like me forking knife job. I like him. Yeah, Apple time,
Apple Time. That's somebody who the ship out of himself.
I couldn't pretend I want to participate in this meal
or I can honor apple time. And also he's made
a memory like I was if I was at a table,

(46:18):
because sometimes you don't remember every restaurant meal you've had. Yeah, yeah,
you'll remember this one. Oh I was there when he
broke out apples and he was like apple time, baby,
It's like, how was your food? It's like, I don't know.
I just remember apple time, to be honest, and he
loved it. Did they say what kind of red apples?
It was? No, they don't. This actually came up. I
mean this was shared. No, it wasn't. This is just

(46:40):
he's a very strange guy. We need to show you
some clips of interviews with him, because he doesn't he
doesn't know how to laugh as this bizarre laugh but
as he sounds like he has broken ribs laughing, try
not to move his body. Yeah, it's it's something else. Yeah,

(47:02):
but this guy, this anyway sent me down along. It
was shared with me by one of my friends and
a thread, and my friend was like, oh, I thought
I liked red apples. And I was like, oh, what's
your favorite kind of red apple? Because I'm a big
apple fan. Uh, And he said red delicious was his
favorite kind of apple, which is unacceptable. Yeah, red delicious

(47:26):
is not a good I would never reach for a
Red Delicious on its own. Yeah, I mean I will
have the hybrid, the Fuji, which I know is a
descendant of the red Delicious. Yeah, Fujie is great. Sort
in a way, you're being racist told apples. I think
that old apples taste brilliant. No, no, come so you

(47:47):
think every apple taste delicious? Well, okay, let's just do this,
so every apple has a purpose. Come on, everybody. Just look,
I actually brought you some apples myself. Yeah. I did
tweet about this and somebody called me out was like,
this is a Red Delicious was all I could afford
growing up, and that's fair. They are cheaper than like
the honey Crisp is a good apple that was apparently

(48:08):
engineered by somebody who like tried to engineer the perfect
combination of apple traits. Also jazz, envy, fujie, those are
all great Japanese That's a good Japanese apple. I think
the reason the reason I had like this weird take
on it is I actually don't know any differences between apples.
So I know one. I know what I like, which

(48:30):
is it looks red and when you when you crack,
and so that is my problem with Red Delicious. I
don't know if I've just had a bunch of they're
like kind of mushy or at least so somebody was saying, oh,
you've just had like some bad batches of Red Delicious.
But I feel like they must have a very short
window of crispness, because every time I've had a Red Delicious,

(48:53):
they've been like real mushy. It sounds like you're eating
a plum. Yeah, I'm like, oh yeah that one is
there is there a fruit that you do like enough
that you know the difference between the varieties. No, I don't.
Are you a big fruit eater at all? No? I
love fruit, but like I I'm never really in one
place enough, like geographically speaking, so every country, every place

(49:14):
just has different things that I just accept whatever is
in front of me. Yeah, and it's like, Okay, every
time I eat something, I'm like, yeah, even if it's
kind of crap, because that's the only choice I have,
so blissed out. Oh yeah, yeah, like this tasted really good.
It's like a couple of months ago, like this, we
had like a horrible red wine at this party and

(49:36):
h this one was like, how can you drink that?
And I was like, that's all we have? And because
I was like, I was like, mm I was drinking
like that And she was like what is wrong with you?
And she's like, that's all we have, so I might
as well enjoy it. And she was like, oh, that's
an interesting viewpoint. Well, I mean it's true that that's
like everything right. You can either accept or resist, and
resisting your reality in front of you is only going

(49:59):
to lead to more displeasure. I mean, I've always said
resistance as futile. Thank you. So much borged n borged jack.
It's interesting though, because now that I think about it,
there are no other fruits that I pay that much
attention to, Like bananas are the types that I know
are not ripe ripe plantains and too late to uh yeah.

(50:23):
But and I wonder, I wonder if there are other
like I know there are pairs that are come in
different forms, but like, are there people who are like, oh,
this is this is not a good banana. You have
to try the bananas. I've not heard bartles. I hear
about Bartlett pears and Asian pairs and like them ships
from Harry and David that like agents, and about strawberries

(50:46):
and like the different because they're trying to grow like
breed strawberries that are pluckable by robotic hands, and so
they have to like a certain type of in addition
to being like shelf Stable, sweet big Red, like all
the things that I like. That they're changing the fruit
rather than just making a robot that has like man hands.

(51:09):
She just got some man hands, but apparently they're very
I think it was strawberries. It might be a different berry,
but they're strawberry is not actually berry. It's not take
that a bunch of fact freaks, so apparently, like this
is such a nerdy, little loser fact that I have
in my head. But a berry needs to have the
seed inside of its sort of coating, and so strawberries

(51:32):
the seeds are on the outside, while a banana is
a berry, right because there are the seeds and then
inside it's coating. This is like that time that we
found out that sushi is a burrita. Yeah what it
was just somebody tried to do it. You know, the
garden strawberry first made brittany interesting red. That's right. Um.

(52:01):
The evolution of fruits and vegetables, guys, we can have
a whole lot of fun. Carrots used to be purple
like that. And you haven't even talked about the Columbian Exchange. Guys.
There's so much so stas um. Also, corn started out
look like with a single kernel on the end of
a thing, and then somebody had to bread it to

(52:21):
be shaped like a giant yellow cock. I like it
the way the corns just used to be a one
cone a thing, and you know would be better dildo
just coded on the outside with the coronel. Can you imagine, Yeah,
you're gonna do that. I don't know, Man's just just
I'm the idea guy. You guys figured that that was
what science was focused on. Now we're focused on curing

(52:43):
climate change. But back then they were like, how are
we going to make a corn that is coated on
the outside of a giant yellow dilda? Did your future
generations what they you technically refer to a berry? Ass
not a berry? It is an aggregate accessory fruit. Yeah.
I like it. Actually was already even before you told

(53:05):
me that. Oh yeah, I love it. I love most
aggregate accessory fruits A f S. But I guess the
meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the
plant's ovaries, but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries.
Each apparent seed on the outside of the fruit is
actually one of the ovaries of the flower with a
seed inside it. He said overaries three times that I
like it. Yes, Um, have you ever seen what cashews

(53:28):
look like when like on a tree, it looks like
a fruit is pooping out the cash? Really yeah, it's
really weird. Anyways, Uh, let's talk about video games, guys.
I'm not and I am in no way stalling because
I don't know ship about video games. Uh, let's talk
about we're we're going to cover one cool game and
one uh WTF game. Let's start with the cool one. O,

(53:53):
the cool one sex with Stalin. Sorry, now that's the WTF.
Uh yeah, I think you're talking about twelve minutes DJ
Daniel our producer engineer and just over a game huss
Marv Albert. So DJ Daniels like, Yo, there's this new

(54:13):
game because E three is happening right now. All the
game developers people are rolling out new content and things
like that. And he was like, did you see this
trailer for twelve minutes? I says no, he says, he says,
he says, so he says to me, he says, you
need to watch this trailer for twelve minutes. Cut to
us watching it. This game is basically taking like it's
a thriller, but it's a groundhogs Day scenario in which

(54:36):
you are this couple, you are this man, and you
are having dinner with your wife, and there's there's twelve
minute memory keeps looping in which a detective comes to
your apartment, kicks the door in, and beats you to death,
and then you start the memory over unless you can
figure out what the funk is going on, so you
can break this like Groundhog Day loop. So everything it

(54:56):
just plays over and over in the trailers, I was like,
this is like a movie, Like whereas this. This woman's
like I got you this and he goes like it's
a baby's outfit. I know you're pregnant, but it just
like wait, what are you talking about? And he's like, look,
this guy's about to come. Just it gets all freakings
like we've lived this before. So it's like Memento Slash
every other weird you know, psychological thriller as a video game.
To me, it's so interesting because they're playing with just

(55:19):
the form right, Like we've have a ton of first
person shooters, soundbox games, fighting games, and this is sort
of like what if we played out like a movie
concept and it's it's made by Annapurna Interactive, which is
the basically the gaming arm of Annapurna Pictures. And what
do you get it? Like what what console is? Is that?
A I saw is on Xbox and I think it
will come on PC as well, So wonderful. I mean, look,

(55:42):
I have not played video games in nearly a decade,
but I still love hearing about like really cool concepts,
like storytelling concepts people are doing with games, and this
is one of those that, M yeah, it's just again
it's one of the conceptually, Yeah, you're just gonna be
over our like shoulder, what's that? What's that? Not? Tell her? No?

(56:04):
Writ the cop fight that I'm like, dude, I've already
did yea, And the dude shows up like right after
you wake up, right and you have no No, it's
like from what it looks like, it's all overhead, right,
so it's like you're seeing almost like a blueprint of
an apartment like with everything, but it's all the action
is from like an overhead like God's God. Um yeah,

(56:25):
and you know they have a pretty you know, like
when you think about the films that Annapurnam makes, it's
interesting that like they're venture or they've been doing video games.
But I didn't had no idea. Yeah I didn't either. Um, well,
speaking of games that get me excited from uh, not
necessarily a storytelling perspective in this case. But there is
a new game called Sex with Stalin, and it's a

(56:47):
video game where you have sex with Stalin. So it's
not just a clever name. No it's not. Uh So
this is being published on Steam, and you were explaining
to me that space the YouTube of video game publishing,
anyone can put it. You can put any video game
on there in that sense, like just because it's on
there doesn't mean it's like the most professional or legitimate thing.

(57:09):
So so this might not necessarily be like a game
that ends up changing the world. But we do have
a screen cap where a naked Stalin is standing in
front of a portrait of Stalin and he's giving you
the bird, he's flipping you the middle finger. Um. But
the idea is that it's like a time travel game
where you can go back in time and have sex

(57:32):
with You can seduce him, you can try and kill him,
you can try and do various things to change history. Uh.
It is developed by a Steam user named boobs dev,
whose other game was called boobs Saga, Which is why
I am led to believe that this might not end
up being This might be one of those stories that's
like just driven by having a funny title. Yeah, I mean,

(57:55):
it's very aggressively just called Sex with Stalin. But the
description of the game is absurd too. This is on
the fucking steam page says, you, being the young time traveler,
get the opportunity to meet the greatest dictator in history, Stalin,
and what's next. It's up to you. Communicate with Stalin
and reveal his most hidden secrets, share advices and help
the leader to reach worldwide supremacy, or show that mustache

(58:18):
guy what's real. Love is your choice is capable of
changing the future. Several variants of endings. Tired of enduring
the dictator, show him where the hell is, hit him
in the stomach, plug in the electricity to his nipples,
jump on his back, the possibility to seduce Stalin. Several
unique authentic location. I mean that was my first clue

(58:39):
when I saw that they called advice advices. It does
read like as of an email scoms either a clever
reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger and pumping Iron saying it's not
that hard for me to give him the wrong advices,
advices or where this person is just you know, yeah,
but now you're going to have sex with Stalin in

(59:00):
the video game. But our writer Jam McNab was pointing
out that this game is coming at an interesting time
in Russia, when Stalin is actually rising in popularity. Uh,
like over half the Russian population considers him a quote
positive figure according to a recent poll. And they banned
the movie The Death of Stalin, and they banned the

(59:24):
I guess there was a negative reference to Stalin in
the New hell Boy movie and they replaced that with
Hitler for its Russian release. Dignity. Dignity maintained. Now you
know that the Fronts Fronts did it with the book
Animal Farm. The pig is called Napoleon, and it's illegal
to name a pig Napoleon in France and so yeah,

(59:45):
so they've changed to Caesar just in the book. Is
it still illegal to name a pig Napoleon if you
do that in France, My dear friend, I will tell
my people. I'm sorry, please don't, but um, I don't.
I don't know if it's still a problem. Like like
if I went to France and I saw pick named
Napoleon and I had a little hat, very I'd be

(01:00:06):
very pleased. I entrusted British outlet The Sun confirms this,
so I'm sure it must be. Well then I been there.
If it's true. Yeah, um, but they're saying basically that
like Stalin's popularity. This is the first time that he's
seen a rising popularity since he died in nine. I
finally he knew. Now, what's your favorite dictator? Guys? Oh god, Oh,

(01:00:31):
Paul pot is a good one, huge fan. Oh my god.
I went to the Killing Fields. That was a hardcore
day out in Cambodia. God. I was like, I was
all excited to learn about, you know, culture, and I
had like the tall guide like headphones on. Right, Man,
I was crying all day. That's a heavy that's a
heavy historical. That's a heavy genocide that people forget about. Yeah. Yeah,

(01:00:56):
what's funny though, that that's that you talk about how
popular he is. Like, the other part is that only
five percent of those people who who were like yeah,
I think he's positive, only five of them were like yeah,
I would live under his rule right, positive to a point.
I mean I look at him him for other people. Oh,
we just got breaking news. Jack DJ Daniels just held

(01:01:17):
up a sign through the window. The Kauai Apple story
is fake. Yes for the win. The sub section of
USA Today making up fake stories about Kwaie Leonard is
NBA Twitter's favorite new exercise. Shit. But but what does
it represent that's maybe the story is fake. It's the

(01:01:37):
same thing like when we were talking two weeks ago
about the Keanu Reeves being a lonely guy story, which
is also fake. But I was like, it still remains.
The discussion that's born out of that story still remains.
And look what we talked about. We learned about berries
and strawberries not being berries. I found out that I
was dying to talk about apple variants. Yeah, so we
all learned a little bit about ourselves. But also it

(01:01:59):
seems like one of those things that I would believe. Yeah,
but I don't know. I don't know enough about like
what he does off the court that much where I
would be like, there's a little bit of a Jesus
metaphor to it as well. You know, he came to
a meal and he brought out twelve apples for his
pals and then he ate them all right, and it's
like he's the fruit of knowledge and truth and they
never mind I hit him again. Uh uh. But yeah,

(01:02:22):
back to Stalin. There are a bunch of Stalin statues
that have gone up in Russia over the past couple
of years, and there is even a housing complex called
Stalin House that is being planned as a new real
estate development in a city where the enemies of the
Soviet people were exiled by salm So and that's where

(01:02:45):
the Stalin House is being built. Weird flex but okay, yeah,
I mean are they just trying to I just sort
of this whole attempt at revisionist history is just to
be like, see, it's chill when people are like crushing
you putin being like respecting that authoritarian style a little bit. Yeah,
I could see that that he's trying to normalize what

(01:03:07):
Stalin did. And I mean they seem to be cool
with Plutin's Stalin House. It's an absurd that's a real
estate development where exiled people were sent to Gooden opened
and welcome to hit the Bungalow's right, the hottest lofts
in Berlin. Ship, I bet that's going to happen now
that I think about it. Well, ship, guys, we've told

(01:03:29):
you fake stories. We've told your real stories. So sorry
about the Kauai stuff. I need to do my fact
checking better. Next, well, this is what happens. You know it.
You were honest in the man. Yeah, we got some
good shit out of there. Yeah, we learned that bananas
are berries, that's right, which we need. We all need

(01:03:50):
that we need. And I've found out Gregg Popovitch is
a world renowned or world respected wine expert. That is true. Well, Eric,
it's been a pleasure of having you where people find you,
obviously all the social media's. I did a comedy album
last year called Alien of Extraordinary Ability, which is available
on all the sort of platforms, and it was pretty
You can tell I've got anxiety in the album. I'm

(01:04:11):
just hypermnic in that way. And if you're going to
the Edinburgh Festival this year in Scotland in August, I
am doing a show which I'd love you'd come to. Yeah, damn,
we got a lot of I mean, Jamie Laughter's is

about my face online that if he types an ugly
man on Google, I was on the h two Oh
