(02:36):
get to know you a little bit better in a moment,
but first we're going to tell our listeners a couple
of things we're talking about today. We're talking about woodstock fifty. Yeah,
that is a thing that is happening. We're going to
talk about collusion bra as Myles wrote the headline, it's
a real thing. It's a real thing. Also, we're also
going to talk about the President addressing the nation two

(02:59):
nights ago, and just the idea that he might declare
a state of emergency, just the fact that that's being
openly discussed as a possibility, that to state of emergency. Yeah,
Miles is wearing a Berk sweatshirt today. I love Yerk.
All about the Berk. And we're also going to talk
about some of the talking points, like the idea that

(03:21):
a border wall would protect us from the evil scourge
of drugs. But first, Carmen, we like to ask our guest,
what is something from your search history that is revealing
about who you are? Okay, I looked it up and
the last thing that I searched on my phone was
what goes with navy blue? Oh? What is the answer? Um?

(03:41):
The answer is yellow, gray, red, and pink white and
everything that's not black. And then they had black in there,
and I was like, this is broken everything that I
was taught as a child. But I also realized what
I've been taught as a child. I mean, my family
was very like function over fact and right. So like

(04:02):
now the fact that I'm trying to be like, Okay,
I have to put an outfit together, I'm getting like
teased for it, and I don't know the rules, And
so I look that up, Like who told you can't
wear a Fannie pack with cargo shorts? But so there's
so many pockets? Oh, and how do they carry their
asthma medication? I am told by my wife that I

(04:25):
am not allowed to wear black with navy blue, but
she is because she like knows how it works. But
like how would you suck it up that she would
do better? I'm sure i'd suck it up, like black
jeans with like a navy blue sweatshirt or something. That's fine.
All right, talk to her looks, you know, and sign
my ye, sign my petition for letting me dress myself.

(04:49):
I thought you were about say permissions, and I was like, nice, okay, y, well, yeah,
no I have heard that. So is there anything that
navy blue does not go with? It didn't say what
it didn't go with, but I assume anything that was
not on the list was not army green. Yeah, I
imagine army green. It's just like things that like it

(05:10):
looks best with. Yes, I like Notre Dame. Ye there
it is my high school. What is something you think
is underrated? Karmen? I actually think taking walks is underrated,
Like not just like walking somewhere to get somewhere, but
just like taking a walk. I think, not like and
not like the let me take lung walks on the beach,

(05:32):
but like getting out of like I like to take
walks when well, like when I was pet sitting, I
took walks around your neighborhood. She's up, yes, Karmen, was
watching some of our pets when I was in Japan.
Shout about to you, Karmen, thank you, thank you for
walking the neighborhood. What do you think of the neighborhood?
I like, I liked it. There were some Hamburger stands,
which I enjoyed looking at. There were some coffee shops, um.

(05:55):
But yeah, I like just taking a walk. I think
it's underrated and it like gets you out of the
house and out of your head and people like I
had friend recently who was like, I was like, hey,
let's hang out, let's get a drink, and she was like,
how about we like take a walk, and I was like,
this is why we're friends. So I think walks are
underrated and they're free. Oh yeah, the best broke person date. Yes,

(06:19):
You're like, yeah, let's take a walk, and it's like, yeah,
like I just want to get to know your neighborhood.
And I'm like, I have five dollars. I don't even
care if it's because you're broke, Like I'm into it,
like at least put that effort in. Also, I like
moving my feet, so yeah. Lacy was also saying this
when she just got back from Savannahs She's saying, like
how how underrated walks are too, just in general, like

(06:39):
just they there's something about taking a good walk, you know,
well l A, but l A is also tricky too
because some places are like can be distracting when you walk,
because all the traffic and things like that. Yes, but
if you can find yourself, you know, there's always a
little place of I even just like walk sometimes because
I'll be you know, in neighborhoods that like there's a
there's a highway and I can't walk right, so I'll

(06:59):
just find one little place and I'll even just like
walk in a little circle, yeah, until the cops come.
And then I'm like and then I'm like, take a
walk with me. And then they start walking like no,
no, no no, take a walk with us, And I'm like,
you know a good place, let's do this. It's called
central booking. And then we all go for a walk
and it's so fun. Many experiments have shown that after

(07:21):
or during exercise, even mild exertion, people perform better on
tests of memory attention. It creates new connections between brain
cell staves off the usual withering of brain tissue, and
increase the volume of the hippocampus. I was just about
to say I felt less weathered in my brain. Yeah,
you look less weathered than your brain. I mean, listen,

(07:41):
some people are like, did you get work done on
your brain? And they're like, no, I'm just well hydrated
and walking. Your brain is glowing. Stop thank you, but
stopped like thank you? What if something do you think
is overrated? Um? I would have to say, I think
toast is overrated. I'm sorry. I know it's a real
I know. I know. If I had known you were
going to come in with this kind of bullshit, I'm

(08:03):
coming in hot. I think toast is overrated. And here's
my argument for why toast has been around for a
long time. Don't get me wrong, I love a good toast,
especially in a cold morning when you but I think
it's overrated. I think restaurants are like charging like nine
dollars for it, and like people are just about not
just avocado toast all the toasts. Like people will be

(08:24):
like there are now toasts where it's like, oh, here's
a here's a little toasty here, like and they're like layer,
it's essentially an open face sandwich. Uh, but it's got
toast under it. And so people are charging exorbitant amounts,
and then people are like talking about how fancy their
toasts are. And for a while, I was all about
the toast, and now it's getting a little bit like

(08:46):
can we stop acting like we're fancy? For if there's
like some kind of thing, you like a spread at
a restaurant, they'll be like with fine toast points or whatever,
and then when you want more, they're like, oh, that's
five bucks. I'm like, motherfucker, you really fucking toast. And
I think at one point I was all about toast,
Like I think maybe I even came I love if
I came onto the show and I was like, toast
is great, That's my underrated thing. But like now I've

(09:08):
changed my mind, and that's life and life changes. But
toast I'm done with. I mean, I like it, I'll
eat it, but I don't want like I'm tired of
like us, we're making it too big of a thing. Yeah,
we gotta fight big toast Quiznos and entire business model
was what if we put it in a toaster? Right?
And then it worked for like seven years and where

(09:29):
people got for seven years, and then the subway was like, oh,
what if we put it in a toaster. Christos went
out of business next year. God damn it figured us out.
I do agree to a certain extent. It drives the
ship out. And like, you know, nothing is better than
like a crusty, warm bread that just came out of
the oven. And I feel like toasted maybe a poor

(09:51):
man's approximation of that, oh, just to give it a
little heat some more, yeah, sometimes, but not the active toast.
It's the fact that people are like one single toast
under a pile of stuff. Like you number when you're
cheating yourself with bread, you're saying toast is like an
ingredient to a dish in a restaurant, versus the concept
of toasting bread. I think the concept of toasting bread
I've never a post to because you know what, don't

(10:11):
try to sell me on the toast exactly, but like
if you and then if it's also acting like it's
like such a glamorous thing, and like can we stop,
like we can love our toast, but like let's not
be too over dramatic. That's what the whole like the
new you know, the high gourmet game is just to
add adjectives in front of regular as words like toasted
bread with cracked black pepper, Like you mean bread with

(10:35):
pepper salt. You're like, okay, so you just said bread
salt and okay, forget it. Yeah, I've been using the
grilled cheese method on all sandwiches, just like putting a
little butter on it and filling it in the pan
with a little cheese on top, and that ship is good.
But what do you mean the grilled cheese method? Just

(10:56):
like how you prepare grilled cheese in a pan with
better on the outside. No mayonnaise, man, oh, I don't don't.
That's how you get whoa, that's how you get that
gold crust though. That's the secret. People don't realize. I'm seriously,
I've done it, yea for those like those grilled cheeses.
You put a little mayonnaise on the outside. You don't
even taste it though, because it's all fat anyway. It's
whatever your preferred method fat yeah manaise. Yeah, I've been

(11:21):
doing that instead of toasting the bread on my sandwich. So, Carmen,
it sounds like you're just a moderate uh you know,
respect the toast, but don't go overboard. And I'm hardline
anti toast and you're like, whoa, whoa, what, don't draw
me in with your anti type. I mean it's okay,
I understand the frustration. I'm at that point frustration. Yeah,
the toasting, the toasting trend. Yeah. Also, I love quiz Nos.

(11:45):
I just remember, I love the thing. They had a
fad a prime rib and peppercorn sandwich that used to
get all the fucking time in college. And I probably
will have my coal and probably looks like a healthscape
right now. Yeah. And I think they went through some
tough months there in their last year once Subway figured
out the toasting thing, because I definitely had some low

(12:05):
quality quiz Nos towards. Yeah, exactly, like you could tell
like they fell off a cliff. Yeah, like you you
went in, You're like, oh, quiz was still finding Like
oh has it even gone trickled down to the employees.
It's like nothing matters anymore. Subway figured us out. Uh,
and Carmen, what's a myth? What something people think is
true you know to be false? All right? Uh, well,
this is bringing back an oldie for me. But I

(12:28):
did a lot of research so I know that it's
a myth. When people are like um, oh, if you
picking up a penny is like good luck, not well
not good luck, but like I think it's like or
that it's like worth like that it's worth it, like
picking up a penny, it's worth the time. And I
found out that essentially pennies that we have nowadays are
essentially worthless. And then if we stopped making them, we

(12:49):
would actually, like it would save the country money, right
if we just did, if we just or like in
change in general, just a penny itself, like the penny
itself takes more to me, like actually more to I
did the whole thing about penny. If you you can
see it's probably still online, but it's essentially saying like, oh,
if we stopped making because the way we make pennies,

(13:09):
it's not it's like mainly made of zinc now and
originally it was made of copper, right, yeah, so it's
just not worth it. So wheat penny penny, Yeah, my
grandpa always told me, like you better pick up the wheatpenny.
What are wheat penny that has like the little wheat
on the outside. Well, the older the penny, the more
it's worth. The older the penny, the more it's worth.

(13:30):
I mean obviously because antique, but also because it's made
with like valuable product. Yeah, you can melt that down
and make a whatever wiring. Whatever, you can make all
the wiring you want, and that's why you pick of
that penny. Yeah, and I mean I think we still
have sayings left over like penny pinching and things like
that that are like smart frugality type things and in actuality,

(13:52):
like that's just a dumb thing. You're wasting your time
on something that if even if you're saving pennies, you're
not gonna have enough money to do anything with. Yeah,
it's just they're not They don't make them like they
used to. America was great. Carmen is eight seven years old.
I'm just glad they brought me on about those parties

(14:15):
used to have with Elizabeth Katie standing well, speaking of
things that were awesome back in my day. Woodstock fifty,
we're coming up on the fifty year anniversary and as
an elder millennial and Miles YouTube can remember when the
last time we revisited Woodstock as the last two times,

(14:36):
the last two times four, I had collapsed those into
a single bad experience, like fine, okay, was the one
where like there was like bad like sex crimes happening
and people like vandalizing the fucking trucks and like all
the toilets went haywire, and like the Washington Post called

(14:56):
it a war zone in their right up of it.
They described it as a surreal war zone. But hey, man,
lip Biscuit they performed, I'm pretty sure Wootang performed at
ninety nine also, Yeah, and it was like I think
it was also like heavily branded as like pepsi, like
pepsi wood stock to what the original woodstock was all about, Yeah, exactly,

(15:17):
but they're bringing it was not all about pepsi, but
it was all about it was created by Madison Avenue
people Generation Works. So how far along are they? I mean,
they're saying it's happening August. See it's confirmed. The co creator,
Michael Lang says they have more than forty performers, including

(15:39):
big name headliners who have already signed on. And they say, oh,
it's not going to be at their original grounds in Bethel,
New York. It'll actually be in Watkins Glen because I
guess in the original venue they built like a fifteen
thousand seat little venue and they're like no, that ain't Woodstock, fam.
We need like a gigantic field to do this properly.
So it's going to be in Watkins Glen uh. And yeah,
like they say they're gonna have like hip hop pop

(16:01):
act some legacy bands from the original festival. Uh, but
they're not telling us who they have signed on the
big stars, like think about your favorite musician, like they're
they're there, so it's a little fire festival. Or like
in Wayne's World two when he's like lying to get
the permit, like who's gonna be there and he's like

(16:22):
Arrowsmith and uh whatever and he's like old man fashioning
a canoe out of a lot. But yeah, we'll see,
we'll see what happens. But I think they now they promise, like, look,
it's going to have better toilets. There's gonna be like
a little glamping vibe to like because they have to
compete with, you know, the Coachella's of the world. Because

(16:43):
if it's going to be like a destination thing, you
have to appeal to like affluent millennials or Instagram flexors
who just need who don't care about music, or just
like I operate on people's phoo if we want to
officially kill off the generation of baby boomers. We all
we have to do is just really Bill and the
fact that they're better toilets and less mud at the woodstock,

(17:04):
and that it's so much more lit than their woodstock
because of how much cleaner it is. Instagram photos are
just gonna be like toilets like these are ventilated. These
are like CITs. Let's talk collusion, Miles, Let's talk collusion,
because you know, after all the hoopla and hubbub around

(17:24):
the non Oval office speech that Trump gave a lot
of weird stuff happened. I think now we're at a
point with all the information that came out on Tuesday,
that collusion is no longer like, uh, you know, this abstract,
nebulous idea, and we're looking at real, like factual evidence
that people in Trump's orbit and camp were working with

(17:47):
Russian officials so while they were running his campus. So
the biggest one is Paul Manaford's idiotic lawyers. So if
you remember, Robert Mueller basically said that Paul Manafort vi
lated his plea agreement because he kept lying, and they're like, yo,
actually this dude should be sentenced like this this guy
is not cooperating, so I want a terrorist plea agreement.

(18:08):
So his lawyers were they submitted their response to that,
and they thought they redacted the sensitive parts. But because
as we've seen with Palm Manafort and like all this
ship that's gone down with him, they did not know
how to do that. So I think they just highlighted
text in black and submitted that. So people who just
did select all and copy and paste it into another dock,

(18:30):
we're like, oh, all the text. Uh. And so the
biggest things that we learned through this terrible redaction process
was that Palm Manafort was sharing polling data with an
indicted Russian spy, Constantine Columnic, and asked that Colminic would
pass that info onto the Russian oligarch and putin Homie

(18:51):
olig Derra Pasca, who if you remember. We also found
out Manafort was giving olig Derri Pasca like daily briefings
about the campaign for whatever reason, because he had to
get you know, like he had to make up for
some swindling he did to him back in Ukraine. And
we also learned that Manaford talked a lot about this
quote piece plan for Ukraine with Colimnic, which is really

(19:13):
just all these piece plans that we've seen talked about,
whether it's with Manaford or Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr.
It always just means lifting sanctions on Russia. And then
also just led about additional meetings with Colimnic, like like
after he left the campaign around the world and things
like that. So this is basically we're looking at you know,
we're at a place where the campaign officials are sharing

(19:33):
information with people who have known ties to Russian intelligence,
which is a soft handed way of saying they're a spy.
So wait on the polling information. The information that they
were sharing is that that's obviously not uh, just you
know the latest AP poll. There's like public polling data,
and then there's internal polling data that they had to

(19:54):
that that they were sharing, so some was available but
others were not. Uh. And then when you kind of
when you sort of look at that with all the
facts like where the d n C hacked information that
the Russians had, if they're like looking at that side
by side with this other polling data. They mentioned that
like in the lead up to the final days of
the campaign, like they got a little noting like, hey,

(20:15):
you should focus on Wisconsin and Michigan, and like those
are really big states that delivered electoral College votes for Trump. Uh.
So you know, the water gets murkier and clearer at
the same time because now you're saying, oh wow, like
we're starting to see that here, here you go, here's
information you can use. Maybe you can help us with
these other things, because if you really look at the

(20:36):
Trump Tower Moscow deal, you know, we've mentioned that that
would have been the single biggest real estate deal of
anyone in the Trump orbit, like the biggest deal ever
for them. But the only way that could happen is
if they got bankrolled by some of these Russian sanctioned banks,
so they had to lift sanctions in order to get
funding for this tower. Like it's all very much connected
in different ways to this Trump Tower deal and and

(20:58):
mega mucho money. Right. But then also we found out
that Natalia vessel Nitskaya, who was that Russian lawyer woman
from the Trump Tower meeting when they're just like, oh,
we're just talking about baby adoptions, she was indicted under
a sealed indictment in December for obstructing justice and an
investigation separate to Mueller's but one unrelated to that. But

(21:20):
it was like a massive money laundering scheme where she
basically lied that she was essentially a straight up representative
of the Russian government. It's like, now I'm a lawyer
for these people, and they're like, no, no, no, you
you work for your You work for the Russian government,
and you like, you were able to produce documents that
helped your client because you work for the Russian document
and you just told your government what you needed for

(21:40):
this case. So that doesn't bode well for all the
dumb funks that are at the Trump Tower meeting be like, hey,
I just thought this was some random women want to
talk about adoptions. And they're like, no, you met with
representative of the Russian government. You are sending materials on
to people who are a part of the Russian intelligence apparatus.
And with regards to proprietary information surrounding the all this
hacking stuff, there's a huge like data leak where the

(22:04):
Clinton campaigns demographic information and all of their like strategy
around demographic stuff, like the Wisconsin stuff was basically hacked
by the Russians. I think, so it seems like this
could have easily been a two way street. There are
so many other things that are coming out. There's a story.
We could probably talk about this later, but like where
there was another Trump Tower meeting where the Saudis and

(22:27):
Emiratis were like offering a way to use social media
to help the campaign, but like the funding came through
this bizarre bidding war over a fake what some people
believe is a fake Da Vinci painting that Mohammad been
Salomon overpaid on by like two million dollars to this
Russian oligarch who was the owner of the painting. So
we're seeing that overpaying on ship is the hot new

(22:49):
way to launder money in Yeah, that's because that same
guy who sold the fake da Vinci or you know,
maybe it was painted by his assistant or whatever. He's
the same dude who like paid double for that weird
Florida property Trump had that Trump bought for forty one
million but then sold it to this guy for nine
million in two thousand eight when real estate has no value,

(23:11):
Like you know what I mean? I love that there's
probably one guy in the circle of whatever bidding who's
literally like why is everybody going so hard? Make any sense?
It's a fake. I was told it's only valued at
eighty million, started the bidding at one. Yeah, and that

(23:31):
house I really wouldn't like that house to seems wild.
So just to recap, because the president is, you know,
doing his typical dropping of smoke bombs to try and
distract with I think he is now saying he's going
to withhold emergency fronds from California the next time there's
a forest fire to get everybody to just be like

(23:53):
you Trump, I think. But more people are focused on
the fact that he doesn't have to spell forced. Of
course he doesn't sell like Forrest Gump. Guy needed spell
Check to tell me how to spell for us. So
I'm sure he can't spell that ship us. You've seen
how I spell ship on the stock before I like
sneakily go in there, like let me fix this one.

(24:15):
I'm unable to. I'm very reliant on spell check, much
like our president. But just to recap, the guy who
was running his campaign, Paul man of Fort, was giving
proprietary information to a Russian spy. Somebody who worked directly
for the Russian government was telling him to give it
to one of Putin's main guys. Oh, like Derik Posca

(24:38):
while the like heat of the collusion argument is in question. Yeah,
and also that guy constant In Kliminic was like also
high fiving himself because he was like, y'all got him
to take out all that like anti Russia language from
the Republican platform. Like there's a there's so many connective things.
I think if if you were if you just looked
at sort of these facts, everyone goes like, well, that's

(25:01):
not really I mean, how do we put it all together?
But when you start really putting it all together, and
a lot of journalists are really starting to put like
dates and things together, you're like, whoakay. But you know
again that's it was a nice tribe by Trump to
try and be like FEMA, no money for you, by
the way. And actually it looks like the New York
Times version of this story, which we're going off of,

(25:23):
is now issuing a correction. Major correction. Okay, So now
they're saying that Paul Menaphort wasn't offering the polling data
to Oleg Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs who are Sarehi Leo,
which everybody's gonna of course and we're not and we're
not Akhmatov. I mean, that is a pretty big funk

(25:46):
up for the times when you consider just sort of
all the details. I think at the same time, when
you look at these two Ukrainian oligarchs, they're definitely they
were backers of Victor Yannakovich, which means they are already
Russia aligned aligarcs. Uh. And I think you know, when
you also still look at the information about Derra Posca
getting briefings, it still ties into this bigger idea that

(26:09):
Palm Manafort was trading information for either money because now,
like we're reading that these two oligarchs in Ukraine, he
was sharing this polling data for like he believed that
they owed him Paul Manafort money and giving them this
information would help him get paid ultimately got it. So

(26:29):
and it doesn't change the fact that he, while he
was heading up the Trump campaign, was giving Constantin Klimini, uh,
you know, proprietary or like you know, secret polling data
that they had, so they were they were in contact
and working together on the same goal. It would seem yeah, yeah,

(26:50):
but again, uh, you know, sorry to Ola Dera Pasca
for that small tidy. I mean that almost ruined, really
almost sullied his reputation. Also, we learned through that filand
that Palmanaphor has gout. Gout feels poetic to me. I
always associated gout with King Henry right, and a lot

(27:10):
of people do, like you know, like rich lifestyle wine
and cheese and red meat. But it's also like genetic
to like, so you know, I think if you're making science, yeah,
not making fun of the illness. But that was literally
where my brain went the minute that everyone's is like
it's the rich Man's disease, and I mean, I think
the conditions that bring it out, and like we all

(27:31):
might have a genetic predisposition to it, but we don't
get it as much anymore because most of us are
not being fed turkey legs in a you know, bed,
like in a horizontal position, wearing like wrapped up in
wild Ostrich jacket. I mean, I've been wearing Ostrich jackets.
But you know, I shouldn't have spoken for yet. All right,

(27:53):
we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. Let's talk about this wall, you guys.
I'm sure I love wall. Yes, Uh, it's like I

(28:13):
love lamb. Yeah, I just love wall though. So two
nights ago, the President interjected himself into our nightly TV viewing.
Not for me, not for Miles. I avoided it. How
do you do that? I watched the Lindsay Lohan Beast
Club Show and it's a mess. MTV knows where their priorities. Yeah,
in a way, I may have mentally fucked myself worse

(28:34):
by watching them watching the Oval Office thing, but that
is a mess too. So the President came on and
made a kind of kinder, gentler case for his monument
to racism. He was saying that this is about compassion,
and you know, he's using imagery of like holding the
hands of women and children at the border as painted

(28:58):
the families as people he protecting. Uh, and said that
he's willing to compromise with the Democrats, which none of
that is really accurate, but you know, Pelosi and Humor
then came on afterwards and seemed like they had prepared
to respond to the typical Trump, which is like having
an eight minute temper tantrum. And so conservatives are saying

(29:21):
Trump won DEM's zero in response to like how that went,
The media seems to be not as convinced the mainstream media. Well,
everyone was like, we knew this is gonna be a
bunch of lies from him. What's the point of airing
that when, like years before, they didn't want to er
Obama talking about DOCCA the whole other fucking thing, and
so let's talk about that. So this is something that presidents,

(29:45):
you know, use their power to do every once in
a while, and they almost always are given the latitude
by the networks to come on and address the nation,
right like, and usually it's done. I heard somebody put
it that usually the president is coming on to soothe
a scared nation or calm a scared nation, and this

(30:09):
time the president was using it to scare a calm nation. Right.
But there has been cases where the president tried to
do this and the networks were like, no, that's too partisan.
I guess was was their argument against Obama. Yes, that's wild.
I mean they just felt like, you didn't warrant the

(30:30):
nation's attention to talk about data, right. Um, yeah, because
I think it was just like some local affiliates did it,
but like on the national level. But I think just
because they know he's going to say some fucking wacky
shit that people tune in but like the odd part

(30:50):
is more people watch the rebuttal than they did even
the Oval Office address, right, So that's got to be
chapping his little diaper awareness. Yeah, I mean it was
like a four percent increase, and I'm sure it was
just people tuning in late right, um, like social media
and seeing that it was trending. Although like, I couldn't
think of two worst people to have do the rebuttal
talking about immigration or even though they were focusing on

(31:12):
other issues. But like you'll put some people who like,
I think you can speak with a little more passion
than like the two figureheads of the party. That was
like one thing I was like combined age of something. Yeah. Yeah,
they just seemed I don't know, it wasn't a wildly
effective rebuttal that said, it was two minutes long and

(31:35):
it's not like yeah, and also they rebuttal to what
you know anyway, Like it's just he was going to
do his thing, just fan the flames of xenophobia, but
put it under the guys of compassion. And a lot
of the conservative analysis is taking Trump's address and the
Democratic rebuttal just completely on their own, completely independent of

(31:56):
context of you know the fact that Trump hasn't really
put himself in a position to persuade anybody who's not
already a part of his base, because he lies constantly,
and I think people are well aware of that. So
if he started suddenly starts saying compassion and hand holding, like,
nobody's gonna be persuaded by that. And by handholding, I
mean I'm holding the child in the parents hands to

(32:18):
break them apart, right, but I'm technically holding their hands,
but it's just you know, on linked that because I'm
kidnapping children. One of the things that people speculated he
might end up doing in this address to the nation
was declaring a state of emergency, which he did not do,
but that was kind of in the conversation in the

(32:38):
lead up to this address, and that's actually really scary.
There was this Atlantic article back in December talking about
the basically the insane broad powers that are granted any
president by their ability to declare an emergency. Um and
this was actually they wrote this before the conversation about

(32:59):
him declaring an emergency to build the wall. Yeah, but
we should be really very afraid of him setting that
precedent or just the fact that he now is thinking
in those terms, because I've said before on this podcast
that I don't think he's going out without a literal fight,

(33:21):
Like I think he's going to find a way to
bring the office and America to new all time loads
and create some sort of constitutional crisis before he's either
voted out or impeached out of office. And this article
really kind of outlines in detail how he could do that.
And I mean they set up a scenario at the

(33:42):
end of the article where Trump declares a national emergency
and the lead up to the election because he's losing
and he claims to have secret intelligence that Iran is
trying to hack the election in his opponent's favor, and
they basically lay out, like this, point by point way
that he could use uh emergency powers. And the only
way that it was unbelievable was that it suggested that

(34:05):
Trump gave a ship what people think and like that
is has never been the case, Like and he seems
way more of like a smashing grab type person who's
just gonna grab as much power as he can and
not give a funk about like whether people are protesting
or angry about how he's doing it right, And so
basically they're just making the argument that legally a president

(34:27):
can basically do whatever they want. We have been relying
on the fact that no president to this point has
been willing to just ignore other politicians and the will
of the majority of the people. And that is right,
George Bush. And but not like he was just trying

(34:49):
to He just wanted a war, and you don't want
to be a war groom. Yeah, I think in this
sense of like the most self serving aspect of it,
not just for the military industrial complex to get a check,
but like, yeah, I just hope that Trump just doesn't
I hope he gets tired of this, Like I hope
he's not having fun, like if he wants to just
like I had done. Well. It seemed like even then,
like when he told reporters about like him going to

(35:11):
the border was just a photo op and he's like, yeah,
because those people think I should go, I don't think
it's going to change anything. And he was like gesturing
to Sarah Huckabee and like Kelly and Conway, like he's like,
I don't want to go, but they say I have to, right.
So I don't know if he I'm hoping that he
just does not enjoy this enough to the point where
he's like, I'm done. Yeah, we'll see something. There was
an interesting guy, someone who is an adviser to Bush

(35:32):
also foresaw a scenario which Trump takes a plea deal
with d o J to resign the office and leave
peacefully if he gets some kind of immunity for everything.
But I just don't. I can't see that would be
to see to think that he could take some kind
of deal and walk out of here, I would be like,
I'm tired of any I'm through with any argument that

(35:54):
he like does the calm thing that we want him
to do. It really is like you know when when
you're sports fan like that, I've heard Bill Simmons talk
about how like you always want to do the thing
that the opposing team's fans don't want you to do,
and like that's what Trump Like, you don't want to
like push the issue or like you know, be you

(36:14):
don't want the opposing team to be super aggressive and
play to their strengths. And I feel like we're always
wishing slash kind of assuming that Trump is going to
eventually just kind of you know, go away quietly, and
I just don't. I think we need to be prepared
for that never to happen, right, well, yeah, that but
the reason he would do is to stay out of

(36:34):
jail and keep every all his kids out of jail, right,
which is that that's the thing he doesn't absolutely fears
because you what are dying. He's definitely self serving. Yeah,
oh he I just don't think he hears. He fears wind,
he fears rain, and he fears himself going to prison
and people making fun of him for his children going

(36:56):
to prison. I don't think he really gives a shit
about anybody except for him in Ivanka under prison, I
know when that sucks your your d J t J.
And he's like, I don't know you right if? Are you? Yeah?
And super producer Nick just pointed out that there's still
speculation that that might have been what happened with Nixon,
because Nixon was equally like on the hook power crazy,

(37:19):
I can launch nuclear bombs if I want, like drunk
in the White House type of loose cannon throughout his presidency,
and there's speculation that that's basically how they got him
to go quietly was by saying, you pardon me, and
I'll go quietly. Hard in me. Do you have any
great poop on. Yes. Uh so, just one detail that

(37:41):
one of our writers, Jam McNabb was pointing out is
kind of bullshit about Trump's argument is his argument that
the wall is going to stop drugs from coming into
the country in anyway. So basically most drugs enter the
US from Mexico are through legal ports of entry, Like

(38:02):
they're basically in trucks and cars. And when you look
at some of the drug smuggling vehicles, it's actually like
cooler than James Bond gadgets because they have like all
these really clever like hiding spots. And there's one example
where Mexican drug smugglers built a homemade submarine that was
like the size of a small like sedan vehicle. Yeah,

(38:27):
but yeah, it's pretty dope. I think they in Columbia too,
like like they'll that's how they like avoid like land crossings.
They'll just like just do the submarines and they'll be
dragged behind fishing boats and then if the coast guard
comes to they cut the line and leave it there.
So then when but there's nothing in that bone, they're like,
we don't have anything, and then they come back later
to pick up the sub and then keep it moving right,

(38:48):
there's like it's very clever. Or that other car that
that was also in that article where you you could
swipe at access card but only if the driver is
in the driver's seat, the doors are closed and the
defroster is on, and then you'll open up the secret panel.
And I'm guessing that you don't actually need the defroster
on that often in Mexico, So so that's pretty good

(39:09):
fail safe. Some other ways that they get drugs across drones, buzukas, submarines, tunnels.
There was one discovered just this summer that ran from
a Mexican house to an abandoned KFC on the U
S side and which is so close to breaking bed amazing.
But yeah, there was like a little eight inch in

(39:30):
diameter hole that was under one of the tiles, and
because it was this like dilapidated, you know, closed down
kfcaying attention right, nobody just paying attention to the fact
that there were people just like smuggling drugs right through there. Anyways,
if he was able to put up his metal slats,
which he that's another way that conservatives are claiming he

(39:51):
compromised us by backing down from a concrete wall to
metal slats. But right, I don't I don't know that
that is meaningful to anyone like it. It's meaningful, I
guess if you're paying attention to the blow by blow.
But to the people who are tuning in, I don't
think they're like, oh, well, that's a big difference. And
also you're it's not a solution to an actual problem.

(40:16):
And there's just some dumb ship you did to get
the base all riled up. That's all it is. It
does functionally funk all yes, And I mean the key
point though, that jan was pointing out is that in
addition to the fact that you know, when you plug
one hole with you know, drug smuggling, it just goes
somewhere else, like that that happened with the US crackdown

(40:38):
on drug trafficking and the Caribbean, and so it just
all started going through Mexico. And if you block Mexico,
it's gonna all start coming through another way. But he
also pointed out that the Office of National Drug Control Policy,
the government's drug policy division, is effectively closed down during
the government shutdown, with the staff going from a D

(40:59):
to three Oh my god. And also Trump just hired
the drugs are because, as we mentioned on yesterday's episode,
he was horrified that he had to spend money on
a transition team because he thought he just got all
of Obama's people, so he had never hired a Drugs
are so just the the idea. He's totally fucked up
the battle on that he cares about, yeah, the war

(41:21):
on drugs, and he is now trying to act like
that is a key part of of why he wants this,
and it just doesn't make sense in a ton of ways.
The problem and oh but that's also the drug control people.
That's down to three people, but it's still a problem. Yeah.
But Okay, I mean, look, let's just wants Yeah, he

(41:44):
just wants his fucking wall and he doesn't need it.
And but also I just like when you look at
also the toll it's taking on. Even like like some
of the Senate Republicans are starting to buckle a little
bit because before they were just like I'm not going
to really come out and be like, yeah, man, we
need this wall. They're just kind of like, Okay, let's
be quietly shut the funk up, let's see how it goes.
And now it's like getting into what day twenty or

(42:05):
whatever that now people are like okay, uh, you know,
like who is it? Lisa Murkowski starting to say stuff, uh,
and like other Republican senators trying to be like, well,
maybe we can just start funding it, like you know,
on an agency by agency basis, and you know, because
it's gonna get hotter as the days go on, but

(42:27):
you know, we'll see who's gonna blink first. I just well,
I mean, the key detail about the shutdown is that
there was a bipartisan agreement right and how to move forward,
and Trump was on board with it until he heard
from Laura Ingram who was it, and culture and culture
and Russell Limbaugh. Yeah, like that'll be the end of
his presdency if he doesn't give us our wall, and

(42:48):
that is the entire cause for this shutdown. And other
people point out that, like, if drugs are the issue,
why I do this like really laborious, slow moving process
of building the wall. Stop it? Yeah. Yeah, even like
none of the logic tracks because they're just really grasping
at straws because they're trying to justify something. The GOP

(43:09):
has always relied on the concept of the war on drugs.
Anything that they want past, so it's just them grasping
at that one more time. Yeah, I mean the fact
that they hired a drugs are I think yesterday. Uh
so they spent the entire administration not having one and

(43:29):
having the O n d P staffed buy a bunch
of twenty year olds, like nine twenty year olds up
to that point. Uh, I don't see the problem, man. Yeah,
he's just you know, he's just like, Oh, I guess
now that I pretend I care about drugs, I have
to hire this drugs are anyways. And by the way,
he's considered cutting its budget by according to a leaked

(43:52):
budget document, and the White House included the same cut
in the two thousand eighteen budget, and Congress has just
had to continuely ignore it because they're like, we have
a drug problem. Well taken over from Kelly and Conway, right,
who was I think kind of the de facto drugs
are right, one of her twenty jobs because everyone had

(44:12):
because hiring people is boring. Firing people's fun, but hiring
people that also hiring people means more of checks you
got cut, right, and more people who you have to
pay attention to who aren't you And the catchphrase doesn't
hit as well, like you're hired well, And then I
remember that was like she got in trouble when she
was like, you know, it's a will problem. It's a
willpower issue with all these drug users. That's the first

(44:34):
thing they teach you and recovery. What's up with you, dude? Yeah,
why aren't you trying harder? It's an illness, It's a
will dude. Here's some Tony Robbins tapes try and kick fentanyl.
But yeah, you know she said the kids should go.
What was it to reach for French fries and ice
cream or something? Ice cream? Oh my god? Yeah, so

(44:57):
what had you are you saying? Oh my god? Because
you just hadn't out of it that way what she said? No,
that's she's it. Uh, I lost. They've drowned, my words
have drowned in sadness. It's a daily currents here. We
have succeeded for this episode. Whenever that happens, we should

(45:18):
have like a little siren where all right, we're gonna
take a quick break, we'll be right back, and we're back.

(45:39):
And civil rights hero Angela Davis is back as well.
She got a humanitarian award from was it the state
of Alabama. No, it was a civil rights group in Birmingham. Okay,
so yeah, good for her. And wait, what's this? It
has been revoked because she does not think Israel should

(46:00):
be able to steamroll Palestine. Yeah, I mean, like they
said it was for her quote long term support of
justice for Palestine. Okay, civil rights identifying a population that
is being systematically torn apart by an oppressive regime for
no real, real justifiable reason. Is getting her humanitarian war

(46:23):
taken back because they got pressure from outside groups like oh,
I don't know about this. Well, the whole you know
BDS boycott, divest sanctioned movement has just become a bigger
and bigger deal recently because like there were people like
who is that woman? I think she was Palestinian and
like Texas or something. She was like an occupational therapist

(46:45):
or something, or like a teacher, Like she was gonna
lose her job because they're like, what do you mean
your boycotting news rule? Like what does that have to
do with my job? Yeah? They just it's basically an
argument over trying to define b DS people who support,
you know, boycotting sanctioning, and was the other one dis boycotting, divesting,
and sanctioning Israel as an anti Semitic perspective to have.

(47:09):
It's just I don't understand how we're still kind of
here on this thing of like we're trying to point
to this mistreatment that is being undertaken by the Israeli
government has something to do with being against the religion
of Judaism, where it's like, no, we're looking at the
victims of your policy who are unfairly treated, and people
are calling that out right, and it's a very conservative,

(47:32):
like the thing that is being objected to is a
very conservative Israeli perspective. There's a lot of people in
Israel who are also you know, against the settlements. Yeah. Well,
and it's and it bled over to uh, you know,
like the Senate because like one of the first bills
that was introduced, I think was like Marco Rubio and
uh fucking Joe Mansion, they put a bill for like

(47:53):
the first order of business in the Senate was to
like to protect people who are like anti bds, to
protect people essentially saying that states could like not work
with companies that were boycotting Israel, like that could be there, right,
and like a lot of people like Bernie Sanders and
Rashida Toyi were like, Yo, what the funk, Like y'all

(48:14):
are doing ship right now with the shutdown and the
first bill you want to offer up is some weird
distraction about b D like b D S stuff, when
everyone there's already all this talk like people are suing
over this because like this is like the violations of
people's First Amendment rights, Like if they want to boycott something,
that's their prerogative to do something. But then you know,
Marco Rubio and it got in his bag, was like, well,

(48:34):
you know, it was just a just a distraction, and it's, uh,
it's just it's just mind blowing that Angela Davis, who
is like a very prominent civil rights leader, is being
like being reprimanded for for basically standing up for people's
civil rights at the very at the very least, it
is an acceptable form of protest to you know, support BDS,

(48:58):
and the idea that you would be preventing that by
claiming anti semitism is it seems aggressive and like it's taking,
like it's doing the thing that people are always on
the right are always claiming the left is doing, which
is preventing people from having an open and honest debate.

(49:19):
This seems like it's actually doing that. Uh, let's talk
about cheese. Yeah, let's move on to some harmon John cheese,
Hamas cheese. You know how we like to pivot off
of the boycotting, divesting Israel into the cheese surplus right
that the nation is facing. The unused cheese we have

(49:41):
in this country has reached one point four billion dollars
worth of cheese that is just kicking it, waiting for
people to consume it and the like. If you did
the math, they're saying, like it could basically cover the
entire Capitol building if you use it as like wallpaper,
Like you could just entirely drape the Apital building in
d C with cheese. That's how much cheese were talking.

(50:02):
We're talking about blocks of cheese. Are we talking about
craft singles? However you want to cut it down, I mean,
just based off the weight, depending on how you slice
it up, cut it up. What's mostly processed cheese is
And a lot of the thing is that the reason
the surplus is high is because the dairy industry has
just like been in hyper drive. Despite them ignoring like
everyone's like, we don't really funk with milk that much anymore,

(50:23):
and a lot of like the fake gass cheese you
make with the milk by products. People don't like processed
cheese anymore either, People like fancy millennials and ship and
worldly people are like I prefer you know, like a
manchego or some other like, yeah, like real cheese made
from like you know, like just cheese, not like our
craft singles and stuff like that. Yeah. The last time

(50:45):
we had a huge cheese surplus in the early eighties
following like the invention of skim milk, when the dairy
industry was just like, what the fund do we do
with all this extra fat, Let's turn it into cheese.
They stored it in a cave in Missouri, I think,
and just waited for a strategy to come along where

(51:05):
they could like offload that, and they ended up offloading
it into our veins be a fast food because like
they basically started cutting deals with two passive like corporations
to just add tons and tons of cheese. Well, the
trade wars aren't helping either, because like exports to China
down like six and then to Mexico it's like ten

(51:28):
so you know there's a lot of cheese chilling yeah anywhere. Yeah,
well that process shop, I mean, come on, man, like
we're past that. You know, we're all about We're all
about fine cheeses from Marjorie's. I like to go to
one of my favorite fast food restaurants, Domino's. One of
the ways that they rebuilt their pizza and made a

(51:49):
good was like tripling the amount of cheese, right yeah,
and then sprinkle a little bit on the crust. You
know it works. Oh but a little factoid, average American
two thousan seventy seven pounds of cheese. Was that all? Okay? Well,
can you think about that seven imagine that thirty seven
pound block of cheese and being like we got dropped
off to us today, Like you know, by the end

(52:11):
of the year, you're eating this whole thing. Yeah, but
I guess it makes sense when you put it on
cheese dot cheese every day. Yeah, yeah, in one form
or another, for sure. Oh yeah, when I think about it,
I did not eat a lot of cheese in Japan,
but I think since coming back, there's been cheese on
damn near everything. I ate. Yeah, when my in laws
are in town and we're eating nothing but Korean. I

(52:34):
stop eating cheese and start craving the ship out of it.
That's how I know I have a problem. Really, Like,
come on, man, yeah, just give me a block of cheese.
Let me get a key of American processes. Yeah, and
I just pointed out, you know, we just give these
people who are fighting drug addictions just cheese. Oh you know,

(52:54):
put down the h and pick up the check whatever
the ched are. And finally, in other important world news,
world news, so you don't don't act like we don't
talk about hard hitting international stories. A restaurant in Paris

(53:15):
has closed because it wasn't getting enough customers at the end.
Uh No, this is the neudest restaurant, which I wasn't
even aware. Apparently it has made a splash a couple
years ago when it opened, but it was not a success.
Well it was only over for fifteen months and it
was called Oh Natural in Paris that offers like an

(53:37):
Irish place, Natural Naturals, where it offered diners the experience
of eating butt naked, uh like in a restaurant, because yeah,
how could that not be a market if consumers you're
trying to hit But yeah, they had to shut it
and it wasn't I don't think because the food was bad,
because a lot of the reviews were like pretty high
food was good. I think based on photos I saw,

(53:59):
and I don't know if this is true, it looked
like cloth seats really, and if I'm thinking of just
a bunch of butt naked people, the last thing I
want to think about is like the last person to
sit on that thing, you know what I mean? Just
like but they couldn't. Yeah, Like I imagine they wouldn't
put plastic over because imagine sitting button naked on the
plastic and then having to get up and and then
you just like, yeah, you shouvied your asshole, like because

(54:21):
you sit on some weird steaming tray, Like yeah, what
do you put down? Like the little bib they give
you at the dentist on each chair and then that
makes you feel even grosser? Yeah, what do you do?
How do you win leather? And then you light all
the ship out of it? I think they're they're thinking
when they opened this restaurant was sex cells, and the

(54:41):
reality of this restaurant is how would you like to
eat in a locker room? Like essentially, like yeah, just random,
strange naked peep because like, what would it be like
in the summer, you know what I mean, people coming
hot off the street and what's I've never been to Paris.
What's it like in the summers. It's hot, it's hot. Yeah,
I've never been to Paris the summer. Hey, Nick, can

(55:04):
you chime it on this? Alright? So superducer Nick stump.
Oh you didn't believe me. I just he's married to
a French person, all right. I went to Paris in
July like three years ago. But that's cool. You asked
me about New Jersey, fuck you man? De yoh No,

(55:25):
But yeah, that's what I mean, like hot summer nude
people because like if you've been in any city that
gets hot in the summer, you know everybody has different
hygiene regiments. So then like Paris is no different. Uh
you know, I think there's like a hacky stand up
thing like French people don't wash or whatever. Right, I
think they just have more of an appreciation for our

(55:47):
natural musques. But still that that is going to leave
a impression on a cloth seat, right, But the whole
it was interesting. The way you went to the restaurant.
There was just a white sheet so you couldn't see
him from the street obviously because it was meant to
be a glass menagerie for people to look into. But
then like they will give you slippers and if you're

(56:10):
a lady, you keep your heels on. It's like you
have to. You have the option to option, which is weird,
Like why can't dudes rock their weird shitty shoes. I
think again, it's because it's the sex thing. Letty European sneakers. Yeah,
it just doesn't feel very sexy to like for me,
it's like to eat naked. Well that's but it's for

(56:30):
you know, the for the nudist community who are it's
not about sex. For them, it's just about just being
like yo, I want to be free and natural, right,
But is the nudist community, our nudist colonies overflowing with
demand to the point that they're like, we got to
bring this mainstream guys, because these we can't contain the
demand for nudist colonies. Also, I bet nudist colonies have

(56:52):
a good snack, yeah, their own on site restaurant. Yeah, yeah,
which is like all wooden benches, right, you know what
I mean that are properly sealed and weather coated and
cleaned on regular it can just be jetwashed. So I
don't know. I just couldn't get over the cloth seats.
I was like, you know, that's fine, it's just the
seating I'm worried about. Yes, who knows what kind of

(57:14):
but booty juice soaked into those cushions. So I'm sorry,
that's what I'm thinking as a consumer. No, it's what
you should be thinking. It's just gross. It's not what
they should have been thinking. They should have had plastic.
But you know, shout out to oh natural. Yes you
were taking first and too soon. All right, Well, Carmen,
it's been a pleasure having you as always. Where can

(57:37):
people find you? Were all? I left Facebook? So Facebook,
I thought you were just ghosting me. I mean I
ghosted everyone anyway. Um, but I am on Instant and
Twitter at Carmesan Cheese. Is I put it in my name,

(58:00):
it in my hand my name. I legally changed my name,
So yeah, I guess you could say I'm a fan
of cheese. Do you get the like did you get
the urge to eat it like Jack does if you
don't have it a long time? No, I don't know,
you're not really about that. I just I'm a poser online.
I pose as a carmesan cheese. And is there a

(58:20):
tweet that you've been enjoying? I guess I could say.
In my opinion, Teresa Lee has perhaps my favorite tweets
like she like, she generally anything she tweets. I'm like
you spoke my heart on Twitter? Uh, Miles, where can

(58:41):
people find you? You can find me on Twitter and
Instagram at Miles of Gray. A tweet I like is
from at Daily Zeitgeist. Because in San Francisco, we tweeted
that we will be doing a live show at San
Francisco Sketch Fest on Saturday, January nineteenth at the munch
Line Comedy Club an So it's gonna be the nice

(59:02):
late show. We won't get down and dirty and you know,
just real sweaty in there, and it's gonna be a
great live show. So if you guys are in the area,
the Bay area, the YA area, please come by support
us because we would love to see you. Yeah, first
of all, do that you can get the tickets at
live Nation or SF sketch Fest dot com or you know,

(59:22):
all all the all the places and a tweet I've
been enjoying retweeted by superproducer on a hosnie I, originally
tweeted by Matt renown uh in response to So the
AP did a fact check two nights ago on the
Democratic response to the president speech. They said a p
fact check. Democrats put the blame for the shutdown on Trump,

(59:46):
but it takes two to tango. Trump's demand for five
point seven billion for his border wall is one reason
for the budget and past the Democrats refusal to approve
the money is another. And Matt ray No untweeted, my
wife put the blame or the unfolded laundry on me,
but it takes two to tango me forgetting to fold
the laundry is one reason, but her going into that

(01:00:06):
room when I explicitly said, Hey, don't go in there
yet and noticing the unfolded laundry is the other. Uh So, yeah,
in your faces, the both sides is um funk off
a p funk off. All of you with the both
sides is um. The NPRS podcast was doing some of
that ship today. It's just like, Yeah, they just always

(01:00:29):
like want to make it. They don't feel okay unless
they're being like, but on the other hand, Democrats really
blew it with it, which Democrats did, but it just
feels like they always like they feel like they need
to do that, and it's just like that we're not
in ordinary times. In ordinary times fine, but we are
under a terrifying regime. All right. You can find me

(01:00:52):
on Twitter a Jack Underscore O Brian. You can come
see me in San Francisco with Miles on the nineteenth ye.

we link off to the information that we talked about

(01:01:12):
in today's episode, as well as the song we ride
out on. Miles. What song are we going to write
out on? You know, just because we're just talk about science,
you know, the facts, what's real is not business from
the heliocentrics, because we can't agree when most of us
can agree that, uh, we are in with a helicit
centric solar system, yes, right and verse. The whole universe

(01:01:33):
travels around our or something. And anybody who says otherwise
is around my son, right, everything revolves around my set.
And this is called Spacetime girl. Uh, you know, just
like just a good track, good funky players on here.
Uh you know, just just just get us through this week,
because I say pretty much every day from every song.
But yeah, Heliocentrics Spacetime ahead of this, I'm picturing like,

(01:01:57):
uh my honey pot sugar baby, but like talking about
space times, right, is that what it is? No, not
at all damage. You know. It was a little fun fact.
When I first started playing bass, that was one of
the first basselines I really tried to master. It's one
of the best. It's one of the classics. You know,
when you really get it going, don't don't and you're
by yourself. Yeah, because it's been a little poor taking

(01:02:19):
right there. It's another one Bites the Dust and then
that are the two greatest basics and Billy Jean all right,
well we are going to ride out on that. We
