(02:56):
Magical Hills and Duscany, even Florence itself doing We're doing
what we're doing Rome, Florence, Venice a Mufi Coast and
I'm shooting over to Athens for two. Inevitably you'll see
Imo and as you walk through the piazzas of Florence,
you'll you might find yourself at a place named with just.
I already regret bringing this up. So I feel like

(03:18):
I'm completely coming to my life for the past what
is it two months? Now we're got I'm always impressed
how you guys managed to level up your intros like
it started with just excited recitations of your names. Then
it went to a nickname or two. Then it went
to like a string of fifteen A K s. And
now you guys are full of to cover. Oh. Also,

(03:42):
I need to tell people next week what the theme
of the AKS are going to be. Continue the nickel
back a case. Oh my god, no, no, I can't
get them nickelback. I'm like having Drago his wife at
atift round of Rocky four. It can't be anyways. Uh no,

(04:09):
uh man, I'm doing great. It's always good to be here.
Thank you all for having me. You look good. You
also looked good on national television with James Corden in it.
Yeah he was super cool. Yeah yeah, Like I had
no real idea of what he was going to be like.

(04:29):
Uh and he was so much nicer and cooler and
more fun to be around than I expected. Shout out
to James Corton. But the accent is fake, right, Like
he doesn't use it. He's Australian. Yeah, it's got a
thick Alabama act. I I knew he was British for
real because in conversation he used the word cunt like
it was just so so like, oh yeah, he's British

(04:52):
for real. Damn no flinching, Yeah, none at all. Uh man.
It's almost like Dragons or down one at Dragons Ord
down one? What no for that? A k dragons already
mean anyways, Uh no, we're gonna get to know you

(05:13):
a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
tell our listeners what we're talking about. We are going
to recap the funk out of that debate. Uh not really,
We're gonna like kind of give our loose observations that
from half paying attention to the debate well eating a
bunch of said there's a lot of pressure on you

(05:34):
guys to recap it well because full disclosure, I completely
did not watch knowing I was coming to do the podcast,
hoping you guys would draw the questions, advocate for the audience,
and ask any questions specific as you'd like, because we
were pretty much remembered every sound like that's how committed
I am to make this podcast great as I wanted
to play the role of audience and hold you higher standards.
Well as a writer you think of you consider the audience,

(05:56):
and see you managed to pry yourself a right. Want
nothing any more than watching the debate is what I
woke up one to do this one, as like, no, no,
you know what, for the listeners, I'll sit this one
because I we're also gonna listen to a few things
our current president had to say about vaping. We we
talked on yesterday's episode about how he was declaring war

(06:20):
on e cigarettes, but we hadn't gotten the full texture
of how he spoke about them in the in the
press conference. So we're just gonna listen to a couple
of sound bites. We're gonna talk about the new SNL cast. Uh,
there's some exciting announcements and picks nearly canceled each other.
We're gonna talk about the best local news interview ever.

(06:42):
We're gonna listen to that. Uh. And a tweet from
Rudy Juliana. That's right, Yes, he tweeted a video that
was kind of next level propaganda, like porn at least
stay porn. But first, no, we like to ask our guess,

(07:04):
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are? Okay, well, Miles should be on board
with this. One I googled today is Feduccini Alfredo Italian
because in preparation for going to Italy, everyone keeps on
talking about the food and I'm not going to apologize
for the fact that I love fetuccini Alfredo, specifically olive

(07:24):
gardens Feduccini Alfredo. I know it's not high quality, but
every time I talked about that, and every time I've
told people I'm excited to get Feduccini Alfredo in Italy,
They're all like, it's not even Italian. That's not even
Italian food, is it? What? What did you find out?
According to the Wikipedia? Yeah, it was created in Italy
by a chef in Rome in the twentieth century, so

(07:44):
it's not like ancient food. But yes, okay, I will
not apologize. You're going to go to the birthplace of
goddamn right, so you're able to find like no, but
now that I know it originated in Rome recently in
that I can find the olive Garden Rome, Yes, exactly. Uh.

(08:07):
What is something you think is overrated? Okay, well maybe
uh superproducer Anakin can jump on board with this one.
Not trying to sound like a crazy Hollywood elitist. I
don't know if this will register, but I'm actually trying
to make people at home feel better outside of Hollywood.
One thing that is incredibly overrated, especially as Awards season

(08:28):
comes up, is industry parties. From afar you hear about
Emmy parties, Oscar parties, Golden Globe parties, or anytime shows
have parties. Industry parties. Just so you guys know, you
should never feel left out. You should be thankful that
you're nowhere near them. They are never fun. It's always
you having to dress up to an uncomfortable degree, sit around.

(08:49):
If you're lucky, there's never enough seating. It's always awkward,
you say, and then they're like, excuse me, this is
for the exactly exactly. Either you're standing for three hours
or you're in a seat you're not supposed to be in.
You usually go with the four people you're comfortable actually
talking to. If you're lucky, there's five people to say
hi to, and then you're just stuck in a hot
room in a hot suit for three hours standing. Industry

(09:11):
parties overrated. That sounds amazing to me, and get me
in there. And half the times they're so opulent. It's
like what an older person's idea of what a cool
party was going to be. That is only cool for them.
And then but then they'll be like a good DJ,
but then the playlist they were told to play is
like not good. I was like, yo, I remember an

(09:32):
Amazon party a few years ago Quest Love was spinning
and like they made like there were some songs. I
was like, Quest Love. I don't know, Like, I don't know.
I can't imagine that he would also be a DJ
who would have a playlist dictated to him. But maybe
he was just reading the room DJ would do. But
then again there but then the people like they were

(09:52):
mostly executives going like it's Quest Love. So yeah, well
that's like I imagine he felt as a DJ the
way I feel. Sometimes you get a gig where it's
like you'll have a bunch of young drunk people on
the front and then like sixty year olds in the
back and you somehow have to make everyone laugh. Like
West was like, all right, I got cool young people
on the dance floor and the sixty year old exect
that sign might check at the end of the right,
So I gotta mix it like I'll mash up Lana

(10:14):
del Rey with House of Pain. Yeah yeah, I mean,
how could that? Have you heard the new Lana del
Rey album? By the way I hear people love it.
It's very good doing a something with Arianna Angels, right,
Lana Ajona, and there's a third bang or female. I
forget who it is, but it's like three sick names

(10:35):
doing Charlie's Angels something, or it's called like don't call
me and Miley and Miley there it is dang, So
look out for that Ariami Simus. What if something you
think is underrated? Underrated hip and growing stretches. I would
argue that that's how you do on thirty five. You'd

(10:59):
stand up and clap, but you're growing. No, stretching in
general is underrated, but specifically, I feel like when people stretch,
they go straight for the Hammys or the back, but
not knowing that a lot of the tightness in the
core in the mid section is due to tight hips
and growing up, especially sitting down. That's what I'm saying,
Like we do out here? You do? Oh man? Yeah?

(11:20):
When I like, hit that Butterfly to the zoo, hit
that criss cross apple sauce, flexers, get them all nice
and open. Criss cross apple sauce is the hip stretch.
Okay I wasn't. I was trying to picture a hip stretch.
Well there, Yeah, that's many. That's the remedial hip strech.
That's like just how to warm them up. And by
hip you mean like cool and with the times, or
you can do another one where you're like lunging and

(11:40):
you got your arms straight up. Oh yeah, you're yeah,
Now I know why you're clapping up. You're ready to go,
Oh yeah, about to hit that are hell yeah bro
Gold Stay Warrior three as. I don't know, but I
think for me it was being so sedentary, like over
the years and when you like do less sports or whatever,
and I was like, is not right? And then after

(12:01):
reading just like how your body begins to cave in
on itself, like, oh right, you gotta counteract, you gotta
open it up. The foam roller is a godsend. Oh yeah,
we have one here, but I have not used it.
Get on it. It's too heavy. Found I think it stinks.
What is a myth? What's something people think it is
true you know to be false. Here's a myth that
I would like to debunk from recent personal experience. When

(12:24):
you talk about weddings, people assume that the grooms are
passive participants and do nothing, and that women automatically get
crazy and turn into bride zilla's. And in my personal experience,
that couldn't have been further from the truth. I was
very hands on, incredibly active in the planning, and my
wife could not have been more laid back about everything.
So while I'm sure there are grooms who just let
it happen and show up, while there are women who

(12:46):
fucking go nuts making sure their perfect day happens, Oftentimes
it's an equal sharing of responsibility, or even tilts in
the other direction where the man is more hands on.
So I'd just like to debunk the myth that weddings
are all about women becoming crazy brides and men being passive?
Did you really throw red red wine in your wedding
planner's face at the wedding listen? I specifically asked for

(13:08):
a rose fold napkin right while screaming this is my
special day. Yeah. No, I kept it all together. But
I was so many times when we would go meet
with different people, they'd be like, so right, she's just
telling me when to show up, right, and like, actually
all had this meeting right now? Because I right, right, right, right,
right right? What did you What was something specific that

(13:29):
you suddenly were like, you know what, I'm actually very
much care about this thing. I did not think I
would care about. Well, so for me, it was neither
of us like put a hard stamp on, Like this
is how it has to be in terms of the
actual evening, but like in terms of getting together, addresses
are making sure the invitations get sent out on time,
or making sure that we get the table arrangements to
the wedding planner on time. That was on me. I

(13:50):
was like Mr excel Spris, Wow, Wow, Okay, lovely day
Bill Withers. And we did a choreograph dance, did you Yeah,
I had like a routine. We did a routine. And
the thing is as a performer, you know, like I
don't get shyer, embarrassed, ste as a comedian at all.
I was so nervous about this dance really, but I

(14:13):
think it's funny because we killed it. Was yeah, that's
a that that's uh. She wanted to do. She wanted
to do the choreographed dance. And my one rule was like,
we can't do the fake out. We can't do the
corny like we're gonna sew dancing. And I was like,
it's so so we just let it be. Know. We

(14:33):
took our separate spots of the dance round of like
DJ dropped that ship. DJ being the band. We had
a wonderful If you're into Bill Wither's weird trivia. His
drummer James Gatson, who's playing drums and like the you
know Sunshine clip that everyone like kind of memes when
he's like, I don't know, I know this dude he
to this day, where is this terrible afro wig? And

(14:53):
he played some I guess this dude, he just look
just look up. James Gatson's a problematic No, he's black,
but he's just it's just like this is like pre
lebron like black hair trickery. He has this very his
his wigs have changed over time, but he still wears
his thick ass wig and he plays sometimes like in

(15:14):
the Valley. And I've seen him because I'm like, yo, James,
because he's an amazing drummer. But I could not believe
like no one's told him like hey, you're like nobody
you had that fact you're ready to go because and
I and I think that, yeah, like he's a great musician.
And also I like, I'm a big fan of drummers,
like obscure drum I don't know if he's obscure. I
also love that, well, I don't, he sarcastically in quotes

(15:37):
love that where we are in society. Is the phrase
that Jack just uttered is actually something we all understood
problematic after He's definitely not front with that. Did you
you guys mutually agreed on your wedding song? That's yeah,
well it was we were in a long search of like,
we're just trying to find something that felt right, and

(15:58):
then one day she said sitting, I was like, I
love that song, and that's perfect. We didn't want to
do something super slow, but we wanted something appropriate and
not using. It was great, great choice and a great
song for the occasion. A lovely day exactly. Uh. Let's
talk vaping. The war on vaping, you guys, Yeah, um,
another another war. Tired of all these vape wars. Yeah, so,

(16:24):
I mean I didn't know much about the vaping scene
until the President kind of painted a picture with his words. Yeah,
you're gonna We're just gonna play a couple of clips.
Let's start off with just the opening of the press conference.
We have a problem in our country. It's a new problem.
It's a problem nobody really thought about too much. Uh

(16:47):
a few years ago, when it's called vaping, especially vaping
as it pertains to innocent children. Here, we go and
they're coming home and they're saying, Mom, I want a vape.
Don't know too much about it, and nobody knows too
much about it, but they do know, which goes in
a lot of problems. Nobody knows too much. Yeah, so kids, Mom,

(17:17):
I'm just trying to make vapors. It's so great. It's
like it's such a just profound misunderstanding of children, Like
because you know, he was never a normal kid like ever,
because he was he was his mother. I could not
imagine going to that mother and being like, mom, I
want to leave the room. Also, like as if you're

(17:38):
the type of kid that would vape, you'd come home
and ask for permission. Right now, you're saying fundamentally misunderstands
how kids. Kids work. Mom, Can I have some of
that gin? That's yeah, mom, and then I'll refill it
with water. But the way he's also talking is like
I'm sure if like whenever like men started dancing more
and like toxic fathers were like these kids, my son

(17:59):
wants to dance. He comes home and he's like, Dad,
I want to dance. You know, it's like the way
he vape. It's like, Mom, I want vape. It's my truth.
The whole thing, man, is just wild what I did read,
though there have been other um reports about how like
a lot of the actual issues have come from like

(18:21):
jan Kye th HC vape cartridges, Right yeah, I mean
we talked about this. I think it was actually the
episode that you were out, but that like a lot
of the people who are getting sick, it's like from
bootleg like black market altered, like right, yeah, And I
think by making it illegal, they're just creating a larger

(18:42):
black market and missing with the issue. It's like but
that way, but you're going after flavored tobacco jewels rather
than the jankie like t HC cartridges too, that are unregulated.
Mean somebody is getting like it's got to be like
the tobacco industry or something like somebody's putting a lot
of money into making this happened. Because granted, like vaping

(19:02):
is not great. We've talked about how vaping isn't Like
we've talked about how vaping like that's targeted at kids
isn't great, and like that it's not like there are
definitely some dark sides, but like the fact that this
is the thing that's being targeted and cigarettes are still legal,
and so are assault rifles. It's like they're connecting dots

(19:24):
that are very far apart. You obviously have having on
assault rifles. Obviously guns are worse. I I don't know
that cigarettes are worse than vapes. I'll be honest. I'm
pretty anti vape across the board, whether the flavored tobacco
or th HC shitty th HC kids adults. I've never
been a fan of vaping for health standpoint, and from

(19:44):
it you look like an asshole standpoint. Yeah, you definitely
look like an asshole. To check this out. Whoa shit
fucking backdraft? Dude? Is that cumulo nimbus? That is incredible? Mile?
You burned him? Yeah. I do think smoke is bad

(20:05):
for you. Smoking is really bad for you. If anything
was going to be made illegal for being bad for you,
smoking should probably have been made illegal. It's just kind
of the devil, you know, argument like cigarettes are horrible,
But at least at this point, I feel like we
have a pretty well founded knowledge of what how how
bad they are. Vape it's still the great unknown. I mean.

(20:27):
The thing that's funny about him completely misunderstanding how kids
operate is like the reason they would vape instead of
smoking is because vape you can't like smell it on
the kids, like and it's much harder to much easier
to hide. Uh. So it's actually the fact that kids
aren't coming home and saying, mom coming to Broadway this fall, Mom,

(20:52):
is my favorite thing he's ever said. Uh. And then
there was also just a fun little thing where he
was talking about how the first lady first got interested
in this issue, and I'm hearing it, and that's how
the first lady got involved. And she's got a son
together that is a beautiful young man, and she feels

(21:13):
very very strongly about it. She's seen it. We're both
reading it. A lot of people are reading it, but
people are dying, so we're looking at it very close. Huh. Yeah.
But if I think like with five or six people
have died a lot of people out of people, wow,
just you know, you can tell he's still got he

(21:33):
still doesn't remember together. She's got a son together. Yeah,
beautiful young man. That is beautiful young man. But that's
when we'll know, Like when the ship has fully left
the dock, is when he just when he just full
goes she's got a son when he stops claiming Baron, yeah,
or like realizes that like these things like he's sucking
up and he's like, yeah, she's got this son, this
kid Baron, you know, yeah, and he said he came

(21:54):
home and he's like, I want a vape. A lot
of people are reading it, A lot of a lot
of people are reading it. Yeah, that's like, man, she's
reading it. A lot of people are reading sounds like
somebody who doesn't read. You know. It's interesting though, the
snowball effect of like all these kind of shady side industries.
I saw an article on I didn't read the article,

(22:15):
but just the headline. I even want to say it
might have been like Forbes dot com, but it's possible
that I'm attributing to someone incorrectly. Was like Trump banning
uh E cigarettes has the bitcoin community worried because it's
basically like all these unregulated industries are basically well, if
he can do that, then writes next, yeah, no, that
makes sense, and then it becomes this greater like they

(22:38):
take away our guns, they take away our liberties type
of snowball argument. If they take one, it's just a
house of cards, right next thing, you know, they want
to vade what I can't fucking smoke my vade while
I buy my big This was America. I mean, it's
only a matter of time until bitcoins start killing people. Yeah,
I mean, isn't that kind of a way they kind

(23:00):
of started. I don't know what bitcoin is, don't worry.
It's what you used to give people to kill someone.
It's hit Man hit Man funds. Oh yeah, I guess
it is Venmo for Hitman and Heroin. Yeah. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be back
to discuss the debate. And we're back, and Miles was

(23:29):
just saying something interesting and kick so we're talking about
because right now we're talking about Crypton And I said,
or how the teen girl Euphoria was paying for camp
shows to Crypton And then I said, the little drug
dear with the face tattoos, I will fight him and
beat him up. And I said he will. Miles asked,
because most people don't know he's an Olympic level box.
Oh he's he Again, I don't want to get my

(23:52):
facts wrong, but he like one golden gloves or he's
like a golden medal winner at his age group. He
is an elite boxer. Then Miles asked me, do I
think I could beat him up? And I said no.
Here's why I've seen the clips of him boxing. I
don't think he would suck me up. I don't think
I could hit him boxing his defensive He's tiny and quick.
I think talking about fight dude up a kid who's

(24:14):
talking too much ship with his face tattoos. Also, all
I'm saying is if he was in this studio right now,
he might put it on you. Honestly, watch I was seated.
If I was seated and I let him get just
hit me with a clean one, I'd probably knocked out.
Forget forget the picture of him looking ripped. Watch the videos.
I'm telling you, this dude has hand skilled. All Right, dude,
just let me have my fantasy where I'm still vital. No,

(24:36):
I want, I want getting to know that the little
drug dealer for it. We'll put hands on Miles grade.
I mean, that's why I came back from break so quick,
because I want I want to take this started. Yeah,
he's no joke. Okay, Well here's the deal. Okay, since

(25:00):
we I'll eat that ship up. Bro, he just punches
before you smack him in his ear, and he'll be like, right, kid,
thirty five, why the police here, I'm arrested from putting
my hands on the child. Okay, by it is really
important to Miles that he believed he can beat children up.

(25:23):
You can't. Yeah, I was. I was gonna say in
his defense, you can't underestimate old man strength. That's true,
really though. That's one thing I realized, you know, because
like when you're a kid, remember like playing pick up
basketball with somebody who's forty and you're like, dude, this
guy slipped and then like he bodies you in the
pain You're like, and you know what that is. That's
the extra way of having to pay a mortgage. Yeah, right, exactly.
That's I'm like, just based off mass I'm a i'm a.

(25:45):
I'm like, it's like Jupiter versus Mars. It's also you
just learn how to like move your body better. And
also I'm not threatened by this kid because he learned.
I just saw that video. Miles is not is not
quicker walk saying that you you want no part of

(26:07):
this kid. That's what I'm telling you. I'm I'm talking
about it like you I'm winking. Everything. There's like a
practical I've talked about this before, I think on the show,
but there's a practical like aspect to strength and knowing
how to do things with your kids, vaulting gifts more intense. Anna,

(26:28):
are you laughing because you're imagining how badly he it
would looked like that ship and Barry where that little
girl like breaks off everything. We're talking about a world
class athlete. You thought he drew on a fake little
rain drop tattoo and you're just gonna punk him little?
Did you know? This motherfucker will whoop? You know you
know what I'm gonna do now. No, I'm gonna try
and get that kid to fight you. So you're gonna

(26:50):
have to beat him up and realize you could have
beat him up. Yeah, that's that sounds like a you
know what you just did? You just did what happens
when you owe someone money you lost it, beout and
you're like, well they me money, so put me up.
Don't trying to transfer that ship talking to me. I
was over here telling you let's talk debates, uh and
not we just we just debated is way more interesting

(27:14):
than the record. I'm fighting the character, not a real
life child. Boxer. No, I have to change the rules.
I don't know. I mean it's impossible that well in
a world like Euphoria, like where people are doing like
wild crimes and there's no repercussions. Okay, now he's doing
a handstand walking on it. Okay, never mind, fun this kid.
I mean, I'm a following on Instagram. Thought I can
learn this movie. You'd be better off trying to bring

(27:35):
that smoke to Fetz. That's all right, Well, no, I
know he's I believe he's dangerous. I don't know what
the are these all Euphoria characters. You didn't want you
for you? I didn't uh so them debates? Then, you know,
we could have talked with this could have been a
Euphoria Rea show, but talk about could you kick from Euphoria?

(27:56):
U I'll tell you. Somebody have to delay that for
a later date. What the who's asked? Could you kick
from you? I've I believe all the other characters would
beat my asks, just not somebody who looked like they
might have caught one. Before this debate, Biden's teeth almost
fell out at one point. Yeah, at the end of
the beginning, it was like right in the middle it

(28:17):
was it was like he was being asked a question
and you could see it was like doing that. So
he has a full denterous situation. Those things are too
beautiful to be his real teeth. Yeah, and if they are,
then he should be president based on keeping his teeth
that good, based on the discipline and tape. Yeah for real. Um,

(28:38):
I think I thought overall it was probably his best showing,
which doesn't say too much. Yeah. I mean, like I
think for the top three, they were there's nothing really knew.
Nothing changed for me about Biden, Sanders or Warren. They're
kind of they did their thing. Biden talked a lot,
but I mean when you go down, you know, this
was mostly a debate where people from on the outside.

(29:00):
I'd right, like the two percenters three percenters needed to
like really make a bit of a splash. I think
for those people, Corey Booker probably did the best out
of those people who were like on the margins. I
saw there's no Spanish, no joke. Yeah, yeah, it was
at his highlight. Uh, he had a lot of like
what do you call those malaprop is ms? Using words

(29:20):
you say, red bag of red bag, and then he
said another one later on that was odd too, But
other than that, he was like, you know, he looked great.
I think, you know, we we were talking about Biden
looked like he had had like some sort of work done,
like maybe some botox or something on his face. His
face looked swollen in weird places. It looked like his

(29:42):
Yeah there was. Booker's face looked swollen in weird places
the first debate. But now he looks great. He's right
just in that gym, dude, we're in like a fucking sweatsuit. Yeah,
when handstands on the fucking treadmill training with that little
kid from you for you, Warren, I thought, still looked
like she's just the best debater. Were there any huge

(30:04):
policy bombs? Was there anywhere I put forth the policy
that you loved or hated that you didn't know existed
prior to the different the fucking top. Andrew Yang comes out,
finger guns the crowds like, hey, what's up? Yang Gang
in the building, and everyone gave like an opening statement. Uh,
you know, Elizabeth Warren was really much like I'm a
nice teacher sit around kids like hers was very you know,

(30:26):
she's like she has that great teacher energy. Andrew Yang
off the top is like I'm giving a free giveaway
for ten families to get a thousand dollar freedom diving
in will check it out. Like he used his opening
statement to plug his website into it like an FM
sweep steaks, like the local radio sweepstakes. Ten families down,
why you deserve an extra thousand dollars a month? And

(30:49):
Andrew Yang to whatever. Then the website is, And it
was funny because everyone all the other people started laughing. Wait,
so that's he's giving out a hundred and twenty grand.
If he's doing oh for ten ten families, for ten families,
the idea and one thousand a month, I'm thinking, where's

(31:10):
his money coming from his campaign? Yeah, it's so his
whole thing. I mean he's also a billionaire, right, isn't
that his thing? Or like a multi one thing he
did make clear is he's Asian. He does that every debate,
he does these Asian jokes or I'm Asian, so I
think I know a math. This time it was I'm Asian,
so I know doctors. Next is gonna be I'm Asian,

(31:32):
so I know kung fu a little bit about defense? Yeah?
Does that bother you? Yeah? Because it's said, it's like,
we it's because you're playing to these dumb stereotypes to
relate to outsiders. I'm not being facetious, yes for sure.
And when he does it, I have the same thing.
When he did, I was like, here, we can cringe
a little bit. Yeah, and it's it's it's like yo,
expand beyond that, there's a way to relate to people

(31:55):
that isn't just using stereotypes that white people or a
non Asian people have created. It about the same thing
with you know, like black comics lean into certain other
aspects of culture that it just sort of meant to
be like, hey, people who aren't black, you know this thing,
this very superficial thing about the culture. Let me try
and get a laugh out of it. But I can
tell like that is some ship that he has said

(32:16):
in boardrooms with a bunch of old white guys and
they fucking love it. And he was just like, yeah,
this is this is how I do. This is what
they do. They go you know, honestly, Um, andreid love
to invest in your company. Hey, let's open our kimonos here?
Am I ready? You know that I under here, I'm Asian.
I'm good with math, I'm not gonna I'm not like

(32:37):
these numbers are right, Okay, but so that that's like
an interesting thing to come out and drive attention to
his website. But I mean, was there anyone who was
literally putting forth the plan for the country as if
I get the Democratic nomination, this is how it's gonna everyone.
The reason he was doing this is because his policies
universal basic income and he wants to actually like give

(33:00):
families in across the country a thousand dollars a month,
so every person, right, every person get your freedom. Div
it in. So, but I don't know, not like in
terms of anything groundbreaking. That dude seems allergic to charisma
to me, just like from an outside perspective, I know
it has nothing to do Andrew Yang just seems like,
you know, he has the charisma of a YouTube pre

(33:21):
roll ad where dudes like, Hey, do you want to
know how I got here? Not all these books, dude,
it's all my mind. You learn my five steps. Now
I drive a sick ass Ferrari four eight eight spider. Yeah, okay,
it sounds like Miles is a little jealous of that dude. No,
it was just like, first of yeah, well I guess what.
My three is also pretty fast, bro if I put

(33:44):
into manual shifting, so I'll drop years. No fears, um,
I mean it's just from a policy standpoint, it does
seem like Warren is the one who when you ask
her to explain like a policy or like where she
stands on a position, she seems to be able to
speak and plain language and explain like what she's gonna

(34:08):
do and how how it's going to address the issue
and also describe the issue like in a way that
it unstand. But then have fucked up though right when
they talk about specifically taxes going up on the middle
class because like to pay for these other programs she's
talking about, and she pivoted away from that because yes,

(34:28):
those taxes would go up. But what she's trying to
you know, she did the thing of explaining essentially that
it's moot if your taxes go up because your medical
bills are gone, so you you have money in the bank, shorty,
what you think it's not it's not. I thought that's
kind of what she said, but she never actually and
she could have just said like, look, yes, I'm going

(34:49):
to be completely transparent that your taxes will go up.
But let me tell you why that's actually not a
bad thing. That doesn't mean don't think of what your
check is now and your taxes go up, think about
how much of your check is taken up with medical
us and things like that. Take that out, put that
ship back in now. Factor in the little bit of
a bump in your taxes. Your costs are down. And
that's what she kept saying. It's like about your costs,

(35:09):
about your costs. But you can still say that and
be let people know like that way people can't just
point to this really like lame argument is like we
know your taxes go up, but you're not. You're missing
the point of that. So who, as of tomorrow are
you assuming, based on the actual numbers, will be the
Democratic firm runner. I think I think it's gonna probably

(35:29):
like this was Biden's best showing, but I still think,
like Warren looks so much better than him. Did you think,
what what about? From it? Just sort of his thought
cycle because we got lost a few times when we
didn't we weren't sure what he was talking about. Yeah,
So there was one point where he went on like
a stream of consciousness like rant where usually like when

(35:50):
somebody's like okay, Senator, your time's up, or Vice President,
your time's up. He'll be like okay and just like
shut up because he doesn't want to be talking. And
this time he was like, I'm on a roll, motherfucker's
get ready, watch out now. And it just went off
into like words salad territory, where at one point he
was like, and I mean, it's a number of words

(36:12):
you hear when you're a kid, So we're gonna have
these kids hearing words on their record players or phones
or what. It was just yeah, the question was about
how you're gonna solve the issue of systemic racism, and yeah,
it was My man's like, he's like, well, I first
heard Chuck Berry on my record player, and you know

(36:32):
he took pictures of ladies going to the bathroom, so
might not be a good guy. Here's my whole thing.
I would love both of your opinion on this, because
I understand you guys have to be politically knowledgeable because
you do the daily zeit guys, but just as like
on a civics level, as a citizen of America, I've
kind of sat this round of democratic debates out because

(36:54):
even though I would never advocate for being like an
uninformed voter. I'm gonna vote for whoever the Democratic can
it is. I'm clearly not going to vote for Trump.
So rather than get political fatigue before the actual battle starts,
I'm just kind of like, you know what, figure it out,
and then whoever you put forward, I'm a ride with you. Well,
it's all but but this is to nominate somebody, right,
So you want to make sure at least at this

(37:15):
point you want to look at a person. Yeah, because
obviously it's funk Trump all day when you get into
that ballot, but are agetting to that polling station. But
when it comes to like these primaries, you want to
understand who, in terms of the people who are putting
themselves forward to lead the country have a vision of
the future that you can invest in, like emotionally or

(37:35):
like support philosophic, And then how do you weigh that
out versus who has the best chance to beat Trump?
Because but that's why if those two don't line up, well,
I don't think I'm not going to get too locked
up into or get too lost in polling about like,
well this person doesn't favor this is the favorability like
we're not even there yet, so I think to use
that information to dissuade somebody for Actually, I think this

(37:58):
is this is sort of part of the US as
to like finding a candidate that resonates with you as
a person and getting behind that person. Whatever. However the
primary shakeout and the nomination goes to whoever, then fuck it,
like well, well, because the only reason it is important
though is because my fear what could repeat is because
there were so many people who at the beginning of

(38:18):
the Democratic debate last cycle, when it was Bernie versus Hillary,
would have been like, you know what, either way, just
not Trump. There ended up being so much anger from
each camp at each other for whoever got the Democratic nomination,
because people were working with Bernie so hard that they
ended up not working with Hillary and either just not
voting or possibly even voting Trump. And so it's like

(38:39):
some of those where when you go that hard for
a candidate, there's a little bit of residual bitterness that
might yeah, well this. I think the circumstances are different
now because at this point you've seen what if you're
as politically engaged to be to get that into like
the primaries and things like that, you're you see what
the existential threat is and that's a second term. Yeah,
I just want to see where you go. I mean,

(39:00):
if anything that is more analogous to the Republican primary
last time, and that there's you know, does a dozen
different candidates who have at least a percentage point and
you know trump Ship all over all those people, uh
and their supporters still ended up supporting him, and the
Democratic group was missing this time. We don't have anyone

(39:20):
who stabbed someone in their past. Yeah, we're missing Ben Carson,
Julie Castro, basically Shank Trum Biden on stage. What I
heard tell me about it. There was a moment where
basically Joe Biden was talking about how like if you
lose your job, you can buy into this public option thing.
He used the words buy in, and then Julian Cash
was like, yo, I'm not trying. Nobody should be buying

(39:42):
in for your healthcare whatever. This is free, and he's like,
and you know, of the Vice president Biden just said,
you know, even have to buy into his plan. Goes Now,
I never said that, because yes you did. And he's like,
I never said buying you can buy the way he goes, fam,
you just said that two minutes ago. He literally says,
so what you can't even remember something you said two
minutes ago now, And there was audible groans in the crowd.
Some people were like because from people, yeah, I think

(40:06):
it was just that he it was like the dude
picking the fight at the dinner table, where it's just like, okay,
let it drop, and then they keep going and keep going.
People are just like because, also too right after the
whole like the record player, these kids are hearing four
million words, but they go to Julian Casher goes, that
was a lot, right, But I thought that was like

(40:28):
more effective, right, that that's the more effective just to
like kind of in an understated way, just be like, yeah, whatever,
whatever that was. L Julio was sucking. Uh. Campaign managers
just like a sarcastic team who's like, here's how you
burn it. I mean, I think for him, he's more
kind of like a fed up dude who sort of
looks at Joe Biden was like, you shouldn't be up here,
like it's your time is come and gone. This is

(40:50):
this is what people are working with now or most
or what we're trying to pull the party in that direction,
but I can tell why he's sort of got this
chip on his shoulder. But yeah, at times I was like,
how how was Harris tonight? Because I haven't heard anything.
So this is one thing I do want to bring up.
ABC did a good job with their moderators putting some
of the candidates to the sword with their questions, Like

(41:11):
some of the questions were just putting them on blast
off top, like um with Kamala Harris, it was like,
you know, you've put forward a lot of criminal justice plans,
but like you know, in the past, you weren't for
a lot of these things, like in fact, you were
against this, this is, this has been right and she's like,
so what's changed? And comin didn't really answer the question.
She was like, I'll tell you what I want to

(41:33):
change the subject to, and that's our President Donald Trump,
which she that was sort of her that was today, Yeah,
and I thought that was I thought her performance was
like kind of more closer to her second debate. Like
the first debate, she was the clear standout first debate.

(41:54):
People were ready to crown her. They were making so
many memes since ship her, like dunking on Biden, stuff.
But this felt a little bit more like second debate
where she was just kind of staying in place and
what about the change she was fishing for a tweet though,
anything out of anything out of Batou he was basically

(42:16):
I think the biggest thing out of him actually from
a policy thing, was he fully articulate. Hell, yeah, I'll
take I'll come take your sault rifles. Yeah, watch watch this,
I'll take them ships. Yeah. That was that he was unequivocal,
and that which is that's that's kind of dope. I
haven't heard any candidates say anything like that. What did
the rest of the candidates say when he had that moment?
Did they? People? The crowd cheered and no one really

(42:38):
tried to rebut that what city were the debate since
tonight in Houston? Oh, crowd cheered in Houston. Yeah, because
I mean, you know, Texas got hit with all these
shootings and a lot of a lot of the you know,
Julian Cash was also from Texas. Like they A lot
of people touched on that to sort of pivot off
into whether it was like the racial divisions in the
country or the gun debate. Um. One thing that was

(42:58):
happening very consistently though, every I was given all praise
due to Barack Obama. Uh, like when they would give
answers on like uh like healthcare, big up the o G. Yeah,
they were like you first and foremost, you know, all
praises due to Barack Obama. You know, without him, we
would not have Obamacare. You know what, um, what do
you think happened between paraphrase? Everyone every version was okay

(43:21):
if it's other people, it's like, you know, in first,
I do have to give credit to President Barack Obama
for giving us Obamacare. Another person, you know, before I
give this answer, we do have to give a big
thanks to President Obama. And a lot of people are
like looking at Biden like President Obama, right, not you
Vice p but uh. And then but that was another theme,

(43:42):
you know, respect to Obama. But that that seemed to
be a break from last time, and they must have
gotten like some focus group polling or some ship that
said turns out like Obama Obama. Yeah. Anyways, what I mean,
I think that was kind of the big strokes, right, Okay,
so that that it's also Sanders seems to have one speed.

(44:02):
I'd never learn anything new, but his message like there's something.
His message is clear, and I like that they let
him Rebut the typical argument against socialism, which is like
what about Venezuela, Yeah, that was because they let him
sort of. I think for people who probably in their
minds they just go socialism are here like Venezuela, Like
they eat like phone books, so like, I don't read

(44:24):
that because that's socialism. So they were like, how is
your like, how is what you believe you know, your
version of socialism socialism different? How are you not gonna
make us Venezuela exactly? And he, you know, he got yeah.
I mean he's he's always convincing when he talks. He
just always says the same thing. But I mean there's
something at this point a lot of them are said, yeah.

(44:47):
I mean Amy Klobuchar, she'd just also let people know
from the beginning, I'm your centrist bay Like, She's like,
they're everyone so extreme. Look, if you're trying to go
right through the middle, I'm your I'm your person. I
honestly didn't even know if she was still in the race.
She's still in the race, she said, they're very literally
on the margins of this. How much how much of
that at this point, do you think is her sticking
around long enough to buy for a cabinet position with whoever?

(45:11):
I mean, it depends she has she has enough allies
in the Senate, I feel like, because that's what this
ultimately turns into, is like the people stick around just
long enough to be an asset, to be like, I'll
endorse you with the people that were riding with me
if I can be, or you do it just to
get your name recognition up for as long as possible,
to get yourself like as a household name anybody who was,

(45:32):
you know, in the one percent, like pulling in the
one percent range, but also made this debate, there's no
incentive for them to drop out because this was another
opportunity for them to you know that their best opportunity
yet to get their name out there. Like at least
we're not hicken Louver. Uh. Drudges headline right now is

(45:54):
Kloba sharp breaks out, which would not have been my
read on the situation at all. Uh. This is based
on the breaks out them from the middle right. This
is on the Drudge Report. Uh. Pull. So it's just
a bunch of right wing people being like, well, she
seemed to not want to take money from rich people.

(46:15):
There was another The one thing you did notice though afterwards,
you knew who the real Biden stands were because all
of them immediately just began to just smear Julian Castro.
For me, like, you know, that was disqualifying for me,
just really for him to like say that is and
who those stands were was the entire mainstream media, like

(46:36):
on on ABC. We were watched on ABC, right, their
first comment was like, what did you think about that,
Julian Castro and that there was really disqualifying. Immediately, disqualifying
people were texting me, Uh, they were outraged, just like
it shouldn't that's just really getting ugly. It doesn't make sense.
But then the first person to like push back was

(46:56):
like one of the black women who was in the
punditry team was like, well, I don't think they understand,
Like what do you think fucking Trump is gonna do?
Like he's gonna say stuff like this, and we need
to see what these people look like under pressure. Yeah,
it might not have been like the most elegant thing
or whatever, but we have to be real, like this
is kind of the fucking environment right now. Whatever happened
to all. I've taken behind the Jim Joe right exactly,

(47:18):
do a couple of push ups and see whose teeth
fall out first. They both have that same ship. Uh,
we're there, are halfway through a sht and think sharks
fluttering because their teeth are falling out. We're gonna take
another quick break and we'll be right back with stuff
that isn't about the fucking debate. And we're back. And

(47:52):
the Democrats were doing things besides beaten up on old
Joe Biden at the debate. Uh, they were also passing
impeachment rules, rules for impeachment rules not you know, look,
some people tell you that this is this is an
impeachment baby. Other people will be like, no, it's it's not.
It's sign impeachment. Don't say that word, and it's people

(48:13):
don't like that word. Um, it's definitely a step in
the impeachment direction. Like that they have set sort of
the scope of how they will do this and how
they will gather information. This is not like the floor
vote to impeach or anything like that. But it's Jerry
Nadler articulating sort of basically saying like, well, now this
committee has the ability to you know, deem these committee

(48:35):
hearings as impeachment hearings. You know, we can bring people in,
we need to talk to people, blah blah blah. Uh.
Nancy Pelosi was very quick to just be like, no,
it's not in the the sign impeachment. Look with that, that's
not what it is. She's i think, does not want
anyone to believe that that's the road that it's going down.
But I think Jerry Nadler has had it and is
doing what he can incrementally. But they're they're talking about

(48:55):
if he gets reelected in or they're talking about doing
this ship before you know that, Like now they're gonna
have to begin. You know, they want to really question
these witnesses that have things to not just do with
the Mulla report, because they want to broaden it out,
because they're also like, well, not just the obstruction stuff,
like you have stuff with the emoluments clause and people
staying at his hotels him like business doing business and
his properties. Uh, you have the other obstruction charges with

(49:18):
the hush money payments. So they're trying to be like,
we can we're trying to really branden it out. This
is how we can do it. Um, you know, it's
it's again, I think for people who really want a
peach and they're gonna be like this, this ain't it.
But it doesn't. I don't know if you have the
majority of votes you need in the House quite yet
to fully get there, and you damn sure there's nothing's

(49:38):
gonna happen in the Senate. So in a way, it's
like you want to build as much evidence as you
can if you're really gonna go that route, because otherwise
you're just pulling up from for you. Yeah. I mean,
so somebody on Crooked Media was pointing out that the
hearings on bank Ghazi is where that they got the
Hillary Clinton email information last time that he was using

(50:00):
a private email server to send emails, which ended up
being like the entirety of their argument against her in
the last elections. So I think that's Pelosi's kind of
point of view, is that you know, even though this
isn't being like aggressively called impeachment, and and like you know,

(50:20):
we're we're not out here talking about impeaching him, like
this could provide us with some ballast for the election,
But I still, like, I think there's gonna be a
backlash against this if they don't just like get on
the same page. Like right now, it seems like they're
doing it half halfheartedly and people are just going to

(50:41):
be like, well, just leave the president alone. And I
think that's why. I think that's why the d n
C and the party in general, like their focus is
going to be on when they mentioned Trump and like
ads going into election, It's not going to be about
these things. It's going to be about how he's completely
failed to like legislate and deliver on all the bullshit

(51:01):
that he said, because I feel like that's gonna that's
the only way to talk to independence when you start
using these like this ship is for the left, so
it's for the birds, But I mean they might find
some some interesting ship out that actually does speak to people.
And I mean anything more interesting or inflaming or clearly

(51:24):
guilt ridden then what we've found about the last three years.
Like that's what I'm saying is, at what point do
you think there's still something undiscovered that's actually going to
move the needle? Well, I think that's why I like,
rather than like, well we have to look to look,
you could be like, yo, we got a lot of
ship right already? Right, that be what everyone says, like,
can we do it? We don't really have the numbers
right now, so we might have to make this play

(51:44):
our hand even stronger, but we have meat. I'm already
forgotten half the ship I used to be mad at
in the first year. Right, Yeah, somebody just needs to
They just need to keep hammering, Like, figure out what
the stuff is that is most convincing to people, and
just keep hammering that stuff. I think, yeah, I don't
know if how much this is going to do to

(52:05):
actually sway people, because I think that's if if they
believe that the optics of this investigation is going to
help get independence. I don't. I don't think that's it.
If you want to get the Trump, you just gotta
keep calling him broke. He'll be like, yeah, he's doing
all these side deals and making people stay at his
hotels because he needs the money. Then he'll come out
and be like, no, they're staying at my hotels because
blah blah blah, I don't need the money. Oh. By

(52:26):
the way, speaking of the debate, one thing that did
seem to be Kamala Harris's UH strategy was to try
and get him to like tweet at her so that
like she couldn't change him. In a little bit of
her opening statement was like w w e ship. She
was like Trump, you literally said Trump, I know you're watching. Yeah.
I was like, I got your number. Oh yeah, come

(52:50):
fight me. Trump is about to become one of those
big rappers who's like, I'm not taking the bait on
these discs right the records. He doesn't want that story
of Addie. Don you stop getting dropped on him. It's
like you are hiding a son. Yeah, and he's like, no,
I talked about Milana has a son. Yeah, I am
hiding him. Yesterday, SNL announced three new cast members. Uh.

(53:15):
Leslie Jones is leaving. Uh, they're bringing three new people
in who featured players. Boeing Yang is one of them.
He was a writer last year. Uh, one of the
co hosts of one of my favorite podcast, Last Cultural
Ristas And yeah, first Asian American, first Asian American, which
is crazy, right, Yeah, that's wild, Like Fred Armison, I

(53:38):
think it is technically Asian, and I think there's well
and also Roy Snyder is part of Filipino, like a
quarter Filipino. Yeah. See damn. Anyway, Yeah, great, him Chloe Fieman,
and then this dude, Shane Gillis, who was caught within
hours of the article coming out that's saying, SnO ands

(54:00):
three new cast members. The second thing, if you just
searched his name was uh. New SNL cast member Shane
Gillis responds to altcry for racist jokes. New SNL cast
member catches heat for racial slurs against Asians. New SNL
cast member uses racist, sexist, homophobic remarks. So, Paul F. Tompkins,
they announced the three new cast members. Paul IF tompkins

(54:22):
immediate response was, r I p these people's old tweets
like they're going to find some ship. But like SNL
needs to know that they're going to look through these people,
Like why why, Like it's not that hard to do
something in this case, not not to say obviously like
the fact that it got found that quickly, clearly it

(54:42):
couldn't have been that buried, but like in this case,
it went beyond tweets to like an old podcast, and
that's where, like I when when we started briefly talking
about it before the show, just in preparation for it,
I figured, this is obviously gonna be a hot button
issue where I wasn't necessarily on the same side as YouTube,
because as a stand up comedian, my natural inclination is

(55:02):
to at least support a the like being upset about
the instant back life, Like as soon as someone gets something,
everyone's first instinct is to go find a reason why
they shouldn't want to have that. So like, it's that
whole canceled culture. So separate from it being Shane, separate
from being what he said, just the fact that like,
there's no way in hell this podcast would have been

(55:24):
uncovered if it wasn't announced that he got out today,
So like someone clearly made it their objective to find
He said it a year ago. So I think there
are probably people who maybe at the time even heard
and we're like, Yo, what the fun is this? And
so then and so then that also speaks to what
he actually said, which was clearly yeah, okay, play listen.

(55:44):
So this is him from his podcast with his podcast
or some of it's him. It's called like Shane and
Matt's Secret Podcast or something, the other guys Matt McCusker,
but they're just they're talking about Chinatown, uh, and just
they go to fucking just listen to ship. Damn, Chinatown
is sucking nuts. It's crazy. It's just full fucking China

(56:08):
Chinese that. I wonder how that started. They just built
one funked up looking building and people are like, alright,
no one said anything there. Well, they built these fucking
like huge Shanghai The first one must have infuriated everyone.
I'm like, what are you guys doing here? Let's get
these ducks out of that window, you know what? Yeah? True. Also,
I'm always like, how can there be so many fucking

(56:30):
restaurants down here? Because you go in there's like one
person eating ever down there. True, sucking down nooters. I
hate China. I hate the food of Chinatown sucks. Chinese
foods is a very dishonest cuisine. I don't even want
to think about it. They invented a fucking chemical to
putting their food to make it delicious, dude, they made
us MSG good. Is a dishonest food, dude. The fucking

(56:53):
dishonest food thing is the most weird, angry racist I've
ever heard. I was like, yo, it's fucking Chinese food
is dishonest man. That that's not the SNL guy, No,
that's not. You know, barbecue will have sex with your
sister and get you get or preserver? Like what then
is it so again the guy, the SNL character or
the comedian was the one who was using the full

(57:14):
on racial slurs and then they like to do that
just typical racist ship that people do with Asians. Do
it your else two ours that you know. I want
to be clear that I'm certainly not here to defend
what he said. I would be the first to acknowledge
that A that ship wasn't funny, be it was offensive,
see it was ignorant, and d it was racist. It's

(57:36):
it's that fine line of can you say racist things?
Can you say stupid things in the heat of trying
to be a comedian trying to be an entertainer without
actually being a racist? And so that's where I stand,
which is completely separate from whether or not he gets
to keep his job at SNL or not. It's like
what he said was indefensively racist. In the few interactions

(57:56):
that I've had with Shane in person, do I actually
get the vibe that he is a racist person though
I don't think Shane at his core is racist. But again,
I'm a white man, so like it does feel a
little bit like when a sexual salt comes out like like,
I don't know, he was always really nice to me.
It's it's possible, dude, neoters right, right, But so so

(58:19):
I'm not here to be like, hey, what he said
was comedy, you got PC police funck that like what
he said was whack and what he said was racist.
I I liked like, but when I first read the
story as a comedian, I think was to roll my
eyes and be like, God, it's like they're just gonna
get you one way or another if they want, we'll see.
And this is where he kind of he didn't do

(58:41):
himself any favors with his quote unquote apology, because he
says again as his response is to all this, he says,
I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss If
you go through my ten years of comedy, most of
it bad, You're gonna find a lot of bad misses.
I'm happy to apologize to anyone who's actually offended by
anything I've said. My intention has never hurt anyone. But

(59:02):
I'm trying to be the best comedian I can be,
and sometimes that requires risks. Now, I do understand when
you evolve as a comedian because we were talking again.
Even before this, right, I grew up thinking my version
of comedy was being the smartest mean person and being
to articulate burns that will fucking melt your soul, just
in the spirit of meanness, but said in very creative ways,

(59:25):
so it didn't feel like a direct attack. And I
can understand two because I see people still with this
kind of comedy that's just means spirited and something I've
learned to be like, oh shit, that's actually not funny
because the only the the whole, the the engine driving
the humor or the irony, at least in my mind,
was that it was just insensitive and mean. And I
think this is part of him is maybe trying to

(59:45):
say that but on its face, like you have to
own that what you said is completely racist, ignorant, and
would be just indefensible to like a new cast member
you're gonna have too, so it's you know, uh. And
I also understand too, when you have somebody, even like
on this show, right, you say things. You know what
you're intent is, but someone might take what you say

(01:00:06):
completely differently, and you almost want to be like, well, fund,
I know what I mean, but at the same time,
you do have to own when you say ship yeah, yeah,
that that wasn't a great apology and there was no
real self accountability. I'll give you that, like I would
have wanted more from an apology. But one thing that
was interesting that I I didn't even think about until we
start talking about it now is kind of how you're

(01:00:26):
talking about, like when you're trying to push boundaries or
when you're trying to do comedy, you're trying to articulate
things like the fact that what he was saying was
such lazy, surface like textbook Asian racist bullshit. Because I
actually know Shane is a good comedian. That lets me
know there was zero thought behind what was So that
wasn't like an attempt at like a comedian trying to

(01:00:50):
craft something and then coming up with something racist. You know,
it was like, yeah, but I don't even mean. I
don't want to even put you in a position to
defend him, because I think most of your arguments come
from a more much broader this isn't about this isn't
about shot. I don't know, I don't I don't want
to remove that aspect of it because I don't want
people to think you're defending him because, as you very
unequivocally said, this is fucking nonsense. Do you think SNL

(01:01:12):
actually found this video? But they were like doing some
like age crazy American cast members. Well, the thing is Bowen.
Bowen wrote on SNL last year and was in a
few sketches, So I don't think they found this video.
And then we're like, quick, who's a hot Asian comedian
that we can counter bounce, you know, like, um, well,

(01:01:32):
but but it's like it does beg the question of
what is the process of how thoroughly they're betting, because
this isn't the first time this has happened. If you
guys remember a few years ago when Melissa via Signor
got hired and people were very proud. I think she
was the first full Latina comedian on SNL, and within
minutes people found old racist Latina tweets of hers, and

(01:01:53):
so like SNL, they know how this story unfolds, Like
they've been through this long enough to know, like what
you were saying, maybe they need to go a step
further than coming through tweets, But they have to assume
now that when they announced new cast members, people are
gonna be digging through their ships, so like had to
have seen this if somebody's first thought on Twitter is
just like man, this, people are gonna be coming through

(01:02:14):
these people's tweets all day, like maybe do a check,
you know. And I'm not saying like, uh, they should
have hidden this or whatever, but well, I think honestly,
you know, again, because cancel culture can just go with
the speed of fucking light. That on some level, right,
like to if we're trying to, you know, advocate for
a better future, that means that people we have to
allow people to grow. So on some level, sure like

(01:02:38):
people of course, you know, I've made terrible fucking jokes
that I'm like never ever, it could never excuse, But
I'm a different places in my my evolution as a
human being, different levels of empathy and things like that experience.
I think the only thing that could have saved him
is to fully own, like sort of as a human being,
like why this is wrong? Why he can completely acknowledge

(01:02:59):
why that is and maybe have a chance to keep
it moving. But god damn it there But also too,
this is the thing I think for people of color,
there are so many people that, like you will hear
people be casually racist, and yeah, they might not be
racist in the sense that like, well, they're not gonna
be violent towards me or something like that, but that
ship is violent to here. And I think that's a

(01:03:20):
little bit of the difference too, is like it's it
gets fucking old, and then at a certain point it's
like yello, bro, like you gotta you gotta figure your
ship out because this is not fucking funny. Your inclusion
in the dominant culture in this country allows you to
engage in humor like this and it be funny and
consequence free because your audience is typically people who are
also in the dominant culture, right you are, Yeah, you're

(01:03:40):
absolutely right about that, And that that's why I want
to be clear about the fact that like even and
when I made the statement of like, I've met Shane
and I didn't find him to be racist. I'm a
white man, so it would be very easy that I
would never notice or see that side of him. So
but but you're also you know, sober right enough too
to understand that kind of humor even in your own
experience as the communities you're in, when you know, like, yeos,
this is a big, a big shame of all This

(01:04:02):
is how it overshadowed what should have been a beautiful
day for Bone though, because aside from the fact that
it was like directly anti Asian racist comments on the
day when they were like very proudly announcing that was
the first Asian cast member, Blake, It's kind of like
when you're on a sports team and you're doing your
job and then have to go into the locker room
and answer for the one teammate who's causing trouble, like now,
instead of bowing, getting to talk about how proud he

(01:04:24):
is to be the first Asian cast member. I'm sure
a lot of people are, yeah, are you are you
willing to be in sketches with Shane? You know? And
so it's like it just overshadows it should have been
otherwise beautiful day for a hard working person. And even
then the white guy screwing up. Well, let's not let
any of this overshadow what I think has to be

(01:04:47):
the best local news interview that I've ever seen personally.
Where is this from? This was on It looks like
Burkeville Road in Levittsburg, Ohio on the street out they
listened on the on the cut. This was something that
was tweeted by sass hole at sass hole a couple

(01:05:10):
of days ago and kind of just blew my mind
a little bit. So do we have the clip? What?
And it's outside of it's outside of a house fire.
The reporter is talking to a woman who has a
can of something in her hand. Uh, and she's just
looking like real, kind of a little bit sassy, like
you know, I could spill a tea on these fuckers,

(01:05:34):
but I'm not going to. I didn't you saw what
was happening? You thought what was going on? What were
your thoughts? Oh my gosh? Can you know? I didn't
ever think it was gonna happen to us? Do you
know how this fire started? Yes? I do. It was
becausin of my cousin and I don't want to mention
no names. Your yes, um, And you said you think

(01:05:57):
your cousin started this? How do you know how or why?
He's mad because he he can't get with me. I'm
married to my husband and it's a long story. Wow,
that's beautiful. Wow wow. But do you think it was
the husband's cousin like that? There's no blood relation between

(01:06:19):
them and it's the husband's cousin just always wanted to
suck his wife. Would you call that? Would you call
your wife's cousin your cousin? Yeah? You do you now? Yeah?
I would. I wouldn't personally, have you always in the
second you were married you were like, oh, y'all that's
my cousin now, or you would never say my wife's cousin. Yeah,
I mean yeah. I feel like once the families enjoyed family. Man,

(01:06:40):
that's beautiful. That is beautiful. You marry and they become
your family. Cause I'm like, you know what, because your
cousin is tripping again, like not my I mean, if
we were fighting, then it might be your cousin, but
to society at large, that would now be my cousin.
Like your cousin took all the floral origins, all of
this able. I was supposed to give one to my grandmother.

(01:07:02):
Uh well, look, I just like that she's not giving
up names though, you know what I mean? And no
names mother about my cousin. I like the implication that
there's so many of her cousins are trying to fund
her that none of none of this is identifying. It
better be the biggest family ever, or someone's getting an

(01:07:23):
angry phone callege within two sentences. The flesh that was
painted on this bear skeleton was amazing. You know, did
my cousin. But I'm not gonna say any names. You
know what I couldn't stop thinking about when I saw
that clip, though, just because it was a burnt house
was ms verse. I forgot about dre you too, bits
called a cop. I'm gonna kill you and I'm loud ass,
motherfucking barking dogs. We're just thinking about how like how

(01:07:47):
toxic that put my brain as like a teenager. He
snapped on that kill you you don't want to, Marshall, Marshall.
He woke something up inside of young Miles. Yeah, when
we were mobbing around my friend's mom's Ford expedition without
a license, yep, going to Blockbuster renting ship that's what

(01:08:07):
you're really dating. Hell yeah, I already know I'm doing
hip stretches. Yeah, I was in a busted as Ford expedition,
busting that album, going to Blockbuster, trying to rent siphon
Filter one on PlayStation. Did you ever steal like your
parents or your friend's parents cars? Yeah? I I got
caught driving my sister's car a few times, and she

(01:08:29):
snitched him when you were a kid. How old are you?
I think the first time I took the car was thirteen.
Holy sh it, I was. I was a bad kid.
Would you're a little badass self beat that kid from
euphor you? Uh no? Well m m. A great debate continues. Yeah.
I remember the kids who would always be I would

(01:08:50):
never steal my parents car. Fuck no, my mom would
have fucking sent me to another dimension of existence that
that scientists have not even identified in terms of punishments.
But all the fucking kids I knew who like their
parents were rich. Fuck, they were like they're like, come outside.
I'm like, yo, you and your dad's lexus and they're like, yeah,
he's on a fucking trip. Bro. Yeah there was a

(01:09:12):
little beat up plymouth duster. Yeah, well it was. I
wasn't taking nice cars out, but I was. No. That
was funny. The kids we had the balls and the
ones I would hop into were always like the kids
and then if they got back fuck you mom. Yeah,
if they got pulled over, and they'd be like, they're like,
don't worry. My dad gave me this badge because he
gave fifty thou dollars to like the benevolent police officers society.
What city did you grow up in? L A? And like,

(01:09:34):
YO heard, yeah, I'm a local dude, local locals come back.
He legit had this badge that no bullshit. I remember
when we were driving age he got fully out of
a fucking ticket, flash in this thing and I was like, Yo,
being rich and white isn't dope. Yeah, Wow, there was. Yeah,
there was a whole crew of like eighth graders, like

(01:09:56):
one of them was the Principals would recommend and just
steal cars on the weekend, steal steal their parents cars
and like go joy riding one grocery stores from well
they say, p K. Preacher's kids, police kids, now principles kids,
those are the ones you gotta watch that. Uh well ship, No,

(01:10:17):
it's been a pleasure having you many buy my album. Yes,
I got an album coming out today on Coming Dynamic Records,
applete titled which has nothing to do with the political statement.
It's just a spoof on my favorite movie. Uh it's
called white Man Can't Joke. Horrible time to drop an
album with that title, but it's very funny. I'm very

(01:10:38):
proud of it. And it's now available on all the
platforms iTunes, Amazon, if you want to stream it for
free on Spotify or Pandora. I'm not gonna be mad
at you. I just want you to hear the art
that I put out into the world. And he said,
based on your favorite movie, I Love White Man, Can
where can people find you, follow you, hear you other
than on your album? That's trapping. I'm on on also

(01:11:00):
medium at Noah G Comedy and my website is Noah
g Comedy dot com. And is there a tweet or
some act of social media that you've been enjoying. I
just want to plug someone's entire Twitter feed. X NBA
player Rex Chapman does something called block or Charge, and
it's just videos of people deciding if it's a blocker

(01:11:21):
its hearts, well not basketball videos. It's like it's like
people getting ran the funk over in real life situation.
So just go check out Rex Chapman's whole Twitter feed.
It's fantastic. Do people apply the same rules. It's like
all the feet were moving, not planted. It is no question.
It's like it always a chart or as a lot
of people getting annihilated. It's not you gotta go, you

(01:11:43):
gotta go see it. It's like they were the fet
were sliding speaking to people from Kentucky doing shady ship. Uh,
he stole a whole bunch of like Rex rex Chapman. Yeah,
apple equipment. What do you mean, like for farming apples
or computers? Computers. No, he boosted a bunch of apple
breaks recently after he was millionaire. Yeah, well that is

(01:12:08):
a fucking charge. Right. He did not do a charge.
He pretended like he was charging a bunch of ships.
But Rex Chapman pleads guilty in Apple store shoplifting case. Yo, hey,
shout out to you, my man. Fourteen k worth the merch.
That's amazing. That's one of those where when people assume

(01:12:28):
you have money, they just let you do whatever. Yeah.
The clips show the former University Kentucky starting basketball. Announced're
walking through the store, standing around display stands with other customers,
and on at least one occasion, picking up a boxed item.
He appears to be holding an Apple sales bag, and
several of the clips and the longer surveillance videos he
lingers in your headphone display stands for several seconds picking
up boxes. You know what I bet that is. That's

(01:12:48):
a retired athlete looking for a thrill. He forgot how
to feel like. He can't get the stadium cheering his
name anymore. So he's like us from boosting computers. Right,
he must have felt so slick. He's like, what I
do is I walk in with an apple. Chapman led
the league and steels like that on white Man. Can't joke.

(01:13:11):
There we go. If you like and basketball reference people
find you. Also a fun note, fun fact he played
six six six career games. The devil is a lie. Um.
You can find me following me on Twitter and Instagram
at miles of Gray. Uh please um after looking at

(01:13:32):
more clips of that young man, um, and just realizing
how tight my hips are, UM, I would say, I
no longer want to smoke. Okay, I'm getting older now
by the end of the sense to me, man, you
know what I mean. And UM, I value my life.
I have a bright futurehead of me and I don't

(01:13:52):
want to get caught up in some mess. Okay, So anyway,
some tweets I like. The first one is from Ellerie
Smith at Ellerie Smith says I run a joke account.
Please don't try to explain anything to me, and please
don't assume I am an authority on anything. I was
addicted to nitrous ages fifty one. Another one is from
Demmi at Demmy shed s h E d t. It

(01:14:13):
says LGBT stands for Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce telephone. Well
you just take out the feature, but the feature is
usually lower case anyway, So yeah, oh damn uh. You
can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore Brian a
couple of tweets. I've been enjoying Randy at Randy g

(01:14:37):
dubed tweeted if a Democrat was banning vaping, there would
already be like forty viral videos of guys sticking vapes
up their ass or whatever to prove a point. Uh.
And uh this dude, Ben Collins at one underscore Uh
and then an Underscore tweeted almost at the four year
anniversary of when John Hedrin at Fart went on headline

(01:14:59):
New Was and started asking question answering questions about Edwards
Snowdon with answers about Edward scissor Hands and that is
have you all seen that video? Like people are asking
the answers are all related to Edwards, they're interviewing him.
They're like, I think they confused him with a media
like you know the type of person who appears on CNN. Uh,

(01:15:20):
there is one name John Hendron who like spells his
name slightly differently. So he went on to like be
an expert about Edward Snowdon, but all his answers are
like about as if he thinks he's talking about Edward
scissor Hands. And it's the greatest spiral video of all time. Anyways,
I love recognizing four year or any anniversary of random moment.

(01:15:45):
I celebrate the anniversary of Robbin's performance on snl uh
