I think that's right. Yeah, the the seal version from
the Space Jam soundtrack Fucking goals. Yeah, because it's a
little bit more like New school new fusion, the jazz
think the Drummers anyway, just isn't the Drummers soundtrack like
the best of that era when like movie soundtracks were

(01:37):

you for having me Hit Him High. That song Hit
Him High featured every rapper of the nineties. It was
real and maybe I know not those spaces that j
Coulio Buster, Everyonelio, every wrapper that was especially at that time.
See Coulio coming in to have Buster rhymes, Couliolo cool,

other thing to the table right off the bat. I
just wanted to congratulate you both on being way ahead
of the curve with the daily podcast us like that

(03:10):
Daniel was slowing that because he just wanted shoes in
a raffle. Yeah, and you know what, I blessed that.
It's okay, he needs to stay hungry. That's what I
told you, Miles. Yeah, he man sneak raffle. He's missing
the drops. We're in checking with Rudy Giuliani. What a sweetheart,
What what a great cybers are I think I think
we just found out he was Republicans trying to claim

(03:33):
Morrison's testimony as a win actually just being a really
good indicator of how thirsty they are for a win,
um dying of thirst. Trump wants to do a fireside chat.
Oh my god, we're gonna do an Aunt Becky update.
We're gonna check in with my decade TV whatever that is. Okay,
it's amazing. Okay, just wait, just you wait when I

(03:55):
tell you about it. And we're going to get a
report from blizz Con. Uh all of that and plenty moore.
But first, Adam, we like, yes, sir, yes, what is
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Search history? Okay, well, I recently looked up what does
tiva's look like? Now? Uh, tivas are like, oh, sort
of like dad sandals. I recently became a dad, so

(04:16):
I feel like I thank you very very much, thank you.
How to keep a baby alive? That's another thing I've
been frantically googling recently. How much water do you need
to put on your baby to say stay alive? Yes, baby,
water baby question mark morning? How many times water baby
per day? Please? Please? Sings? But tiva's, I think I've

(04:39):
been trying to be transition to a dad's sandal. So
I just want to sort of keep updated on the
Tiva's and on the birken stocks and just sort of
gauge where the dad's sandal market is at now like hot, Yeah,
Tiva's are not, Like are still still You're telling people
down on Larch month you're a liberal as dad, you
better have some stocks. Right, They'll be like, all right,

(05:02):
get out here, maga guy, your your flip flops. Tiva
is still look the same, right because that wave came back?
Did the TVA wave come back? Because I remember like
last year and it was like, oh, I'm trying to
get like, oh I want these Tiva's And I was like,
but we used to clown exactly, but that was ago

(05:25):
are cool again? Yeah? I mean because the ankle strap
sandal became like a very fashionable thing for a while.
That's so funny. So maybe people were just like, well
that all started with TV. If we can alwas a culture,
just learn to lean in and fully embraced velcro, I
would be grateful. And I just really wanted to explain

(05:45):
that they came out with a whole new platform set
which became very cool with the young millennial girls who
are trying to vibe and look cute, be like old
trendy but at the same time have a little platform
here away and then they came and cute colors, so
we were like, honey, they back, they back. Old trendy
is my nickname boiled. I feel really validated by that ana,

(06:10):
so I I it sounds like I am accidentally on
trend more of a zada great Okay, cool, and it's
I feel like chunky old dead shoes like dad sneakers
are like the wave with young kids. Y. Yeah, because
it's just everything is in like twenty year cycle. I'm
gonna have to go to my mom's house and bust
out my old academic jeans that had a bunch of Man,

(06:36):
he's always rising the leather pathetly, speaking of twenty years,
I believe space Jam is right on cute coming back,
for example years later. So yeah, I think you're right
from these baggy gas basketball shorts back exactly. What is
something you think is underrated? Underrated? Okay, I don't know
if this is underrated again, New Dad been a little
bit out of the cultural zeiteguys for a while, but

(06:58):
I've been crushing pretty hard on the ne flick Shaw
rhythm and flow, which is like the hip hop American idol.
I don't know if that's I don't know how that's okay,
So maybe that is exactly perfect under it, So yeah,
exactly underappreciated, underappreciated. Cardi B to me is a bit
of a modern miracle. I just don't understand how she
has somehow struck the perfect balance which I just have

(07:18):
never seen in any other public figure of She like
performs herself and like performs her public persona in a
way that still feels authentic. I don't know how she doesn't.
She's like struck about She's like clearly raised by and
with reality television, but it doesn't seem contrived or forced,
and she's still charming every moment. How does she do it?
That's impressed My wife like had managed to miss Cardi

(07:40):
B up to the point of watching Rhythm and Flow
and just every like five minutes, she would be like,
where is she from? Where she exist? She exactly? But
that's really fun And t I I like, like I'm
a big hip hop fan, but like sort of under
familiar with the uber of t I, but just a

(08:02):
I mean, I will want it, I will do what
he says. It's just like as his presence were like
he just to me, he feels like like an old
like eighteenth century horse trader or something. He barely moves.
He's like very genteel and correct all the time, and
I just really respond to his energy. It's a good
mix of like newcomers, old heads and like different styles
rappers and the judges and I think just in general,

(08:25):
like there's been I think Phizza when she was on
we were talking about too about how it's because precisely
they like let them say whatever they want to do
whatever they want, and that sort of sanitize it through
like a broadcast networks, it is able to maintain a
little bit of like all the rappers themselves can't did
you watch it all the way through? I've watched it
all the way through. Have you watched all towards the end?

(08:48):
Towards the end, like you you really start seeing some
people who are like these people have likely it's awesome,
like I'll buy I'll see them live. And and there's
a project runaway element to A two where it's like
this is wrapping his heart. It's it's and it requires
many different skills to be like a hip hop artist,
and like I just think it's a really cool reality
show into your point, mouse, it's like a hard our
competent reality competition show, the unfiltered hard our way hold

(09:11):
on reality. Yeah, there's like there's one point where they
get into an argument behind the scenes, like before the
I think it's before the battle reps, and but it
like it's doesn't really make sense in terms of being
an argument, and they don't like push it any further
like any other reality show right where they would like

(09:33):
then make an entire episode. It's just like the confusion
of Oh, I thought he said something about say reality
each other for a little bit, but then it's over.
It's not like, yeah, there's something different about the realm
in the flow of nice. It's I think it's more
of a documentary than ever. And I guess the reality
show in a certain sense where they're they're producing that

(09:53):
dramas where like these people are stressed out because this
this is hard, really high for them to Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
it has some great uh on the verge of falling
asleep but yet being incredibly commanding yes energy, Yes exactly.
And I will like there's few pleasures that I drive
up more than watching people react positively to hip hop,

(10:14):
like they're sort of this is not like nice, like
watching Cardan enjoy it like something smells bad. Yeah, anyway,
so maybe that's not underrated at all. Forgive me, but
I don't think it was until this episode pushing over
the edge. What is something you think is overrated? Oh boy? Okay,

(10:38):
I know this is going to be a little controversial,
and I'm gonna come off like a crank of the week,
and I don't mean to, especially on today of all days,
but I'm gonna say, like, hollow Halloween costumes, like Halloween celebration,
like all the Halloween hoopla. I'm a bit of a
crank when it comes to holidays, and I wasn't really
raised in the like holiday forward household, so I'm a
little reluctant to fully throw myself into holidays. And uh

(11:01):
even still, like, I just feel like people could stand
to dial it back a little bit on Halloween. I
know that's not very popular, and I don't want to
harsh anyone's mellow and yuck anyone's yum, but I'm just saying,
like it doesn't need to be such an ordeal. Like
I see people like Heidi Koomiko, but ten hours in
her costume, And I'm like, that is it seems excessive
to me? That just seems excessive. And again maybe this
is a new parent talking where it's like who has

(11:21):
the time? Look at it like that like hours. So anyway,
So I had the experience last Thursday of you know,
my three year old having his first trick or treating
experience where he's like a walking getting getting candy. How

(11:42):
was eating the candy live? Like collapsing against a tree
at one point, just like my whole neighborhood turns into
like diabetes hamster dam, Like it's just why hamster dam
from the from the water. Yeah, just like an eight
block radius, everyone is high on sugar. Like when I

(12:04):
got out the next morning, there was like rappers like
just ship everywhere, just thrown everywhere. But I I personally
love it, like for that specific age group, it's so fun.
Like I agree though, like the the amount I think
celebrity costumes have gotten to a point where it's just
like it's yeah, yeah, exactly, Yes, it's just over the top. Yes,

(12:31):
And also it's just they're free time in our face
truly though maybe that's then maybe that's something that's going
to be the right and you know it's a slightly
more experienced father. It's just like the free time, I
guess is really what I'm what I'm I'm rapidly envious,
something like I have so much disposable income, right I
can have kids and have like have a body cast
made of mold, so I can have these custom procethtics

(12:53):
and become a xenomorphy exactly. It's like, kudos to you.
People were talking to me because my costume was not
on theme with my kids called give just my friends
from college like cancer coming up? The mr is this
I have. I have one store bought Batman costume when

(13:14):
I wear every year for a half hour and then
I'm like, this is uncomfortable. I'm not gonna do it anymore.
But yeah, Like there were some adults who had like
really detailed and well thought out group costumes with their kids,
but I was a little bit jealous of. But again,
I like to just play who has the who has
the time? Everyone's got their holiday. Though some people I realized, like,

(13:38):
you know, her majesty, my partner, she loves Halloween. I
don't really care either way. I'm like, let me see
this laugh you to have you some nerds and remember
like when my teeth were written, like that's about it.
But I realized, like for some people, yeah, they truly
like it's actually the best holiday. And when I hear that,
I'm like, why the best holidays for me? Have a

(13:59):
ton of food exactly, not sugar food. I do have,
Like there's a shot a shouting for the aspect to
Like my brother worked in office and he said one
guy and one guy only came in in costume and
it's like full Captain hook and that tyckle of me.
Like Katie Porter was the only congressman who came in
like everyone, which is like dressed in suits and whatever,
and she's just like full catwoman and it's like, well,

(14:19):
that's so great joy. It's a joy to it to
see like the one fish out of water there. So
that's nice. But I didn't. I'm sure too, Like when
so many Republicans on the hill are like just sweating
all the time, I'm batwoman fall. I also have time
for fun. I can experience pleasure as well. Yeah yeah,
well you know the candy though, that's the candy. That's
a good part the candy. I'm sure once your child

(14:41):
becomes you know, a walking, talking trigger. Yeah, exactly, you'll
have a different point that you suddenly have like a
wild costume on come on. Yeah, if you've ever wondered
what you're three year old would be like on cocaine, uh,
this will be your chance to to experience. And do
you know have to like parse out the remainder of
their candy or do you just eat yourself? Check? I'll

(15:03):
probably eat myself, I would essentially. Yeah, oh yeah, it's
already gone. I had. I used to hide my candy
when I got home because I knew my parents were
going to go through my ship. And then I'm like, fine,
take half of this. I'm like half the ship was
already Yeah, you're taking half of half. Like I'm sleeping

(15:23):
with these darty ranchers in my mouth, exactly, racking up
a dental billy you've ever seen. By the way, speaking
of people showing up as the only person in costume,
I would be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite
tweet of all time from Katie Dippold throwback Thursday to Halloween,

(15:44):
when I dressed as the Baba Duke. My friend's house
had more of a grown ups drinking wine. There's just
a picture. Yes, yes, that's what I'm talking detailed like
flattering exactly. I love that so much. Expect anybody who

(16:05):
goes in like so funny. What is a myth? What's
something that people think is true you know to be false?
WHOA Okay, okay, I'm again on me, and the story
is saying the new fatherhood lane here that people think
that like you can, I'll just make up sleep, I'll

(16:26):
make it up later, Like that is actually not how
it works. You're like, okay, like, yes, I was up
for all night for three nights in row. But if
I can just like get like a good ten hours
and then eleven the next night, it'll all even out.
That is just that is a bio rhythmic myth. I
feel like that there is such an idea of like
making up sleep. I have a whole theory about this

(16:46):
that so you know how like the ideal marketing target
is eighteen to thirty five is the average age at
which people have children. And I think it's because like
your brain just stops you You're operating at like sixty
percent efficiency from that point forward. I'm talking about Teva's tea.
It's like I don't know what's going on? Yeah, yeah, Ca,

(17:10):
And you're also not making decisions for yourself. Yeah. Yes,
But I think at the beginning of the infancy, I
was like, okay, like, yeah, this is super hard and
I'm delirious and I feel cracked out for sure, but
like I'll make it up. What am I kidding? When? When?
And how? And is that how brains work? I don't
think it is. How it turns out. Make up sleep, Yeah,
I don't think that's real unless you completely shift like

(17:30):
those other alternate patterns of sleep people used, they micro sleep,
and come on, I would love to be able to
do that. That's a that's I can't. I can't imagine
how disruptive that would be to try and even like
get on one of those cycles. You can learn. Micro
sleeping is a young man's game. Yeah, Like the older

(17:52):
you get, the less you sleep, but the more tired
you are. I've noticed, like you need just as much sleep,
but you can't sleep well so you're just like waking
up and crank. I'm at that point where I'm realizing
I need less sleep, but I still say in hey,
you know what, that's what they are sleeping on. All right,

(18:21):
let's check in with McDonald's in Portugal latest marketing. Uh brilliancy. Yeah,
they are lightning struck. They have a new Sunday promotion
they were doing in parts of Portugal. Um. And what
I will say at first, I'll read you they had
to apologize for this promotion because it was two for
one Sundays. It was like a spooky theme. Um and

(18:42):
it said, this is the apology. And I'll tell you why.
Adam can guess it. Yeah, because when promoting its holiday
Sunday ice cream, McDonald's Portugal developed a local market activation
for a small number of its restaurants in Portugal. The
campaign was intended as a celebration of Halloween, not as
an insensitive reference to any historical event or to upset

(19:02):
or insult anyone in any way. Why we sincerely apologize
for any offense or distress. This may God, why Miles?
Why spooky? What was it for the promotion for what too?
For one Sunday? Too for one Sunday's? What was it?
Some reference to like swing both ways? But is it
like a bisexuality thing or something? What is historical? Oh god?

(19:26):
What is that Sunday day? It was Sunday bloody Sunday.
I think they weren't quite aware of the box Side
massacre where unarmed Catholic protesters were shot and killed by
British soldiers. But yeah, they were like yeah, sorry, sometimes
it's just a song. They don't realize what's actually going

(19:49):
on or know what the lyrics mean. But literally on
the promotion were the words Sunday, bloody Sunday. Yes, we
like it's like with like red goo on the like blood.
So here's my thing. I wouldn't even get the word
blood out of anywhere anywhere, Like that doesn't need to
be in any food promotion anywhere. I get that it's
like red cherry strawberry, like spooky blood, but you need
to say blood, you know, I mean, like the word

(20:10):
it is like anglophile English, like you know the fact
that bloody is like a fun word for English people
to say. Yea and very yeah Sunday, very Sunday exactly.
I don't wonder, Yeah, how much of it was just
they're like Halloween and it's two Sundays for one. Yeah,

(20:32):
too perfect. Not not to do it, we cannot get
And then like maybe we won't see anyone who knows
about the troubles exactly. This is Portugal. We're not neighbor
near Dublin. They weren't. It's not gonna matter. It's easy.
And if they do, they love Bono. This it is. Yeah.
You see stuff like this all the time though sometimes
especially with like when you like English or English just

(20:55):
looks better like for marketing stuff, and it's like, yeah,
that's why there's so many like weird looking Asian t sure.
I just have like fuck my neck like a shirt
like something's been lost in translation here, something's been lost. Yeah,
all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back with some impeachment news. And we're back and

(21:28):
it's time to check in with the latest happenings in
our nation's capital, h and how people are feeling about
this whole impeachment inquiry. Yeah, talking about impeaching this creek
is no. Did we a very professional singer who works

(21:52):
in podcasts? Um, yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot
of there's a lot of movement going on. I think
with polls right now, um, right now, it seems like
there's growing support among women and college educated white people
are are now they're getting a little more into uh
impeachment now we're in majority numbers, so apparently there's a

(22:13):
there is a gender gap though between men and women
just in general about impeachment of women back impeaching Trump
and removing him. And then it's forty two percent of
men come in general. Well, I mean this is like
that that all tracks. Yeah, there's I would say that
maybe forty two percent of men get it or like
at least for understand what the stakes are for women
and reproductive rights and things like that at the moment.

(22:35):
And then also, um, when it comes to like people
with college degrees, it says, you know, half of college
educated whites back getting rid of the president. But when
you look at the women in this subset fifty percent
and they have thirty nine percent of men did college
educated white men? Wow? Man, wow, that that is a

(22:55):
little disheartening. I think it's a big gap. I mean,
i've that's huge. It's kind of seems more about it, Yeah,
a little crazy. I mean there's an analysis of like
how in America college is sort of like training for
class ship, like how to how to act like a
gentry class person. Interesting, and I can kind of see

(23:17):
how like I think that tends to be a big
gap between Trump supporters like college educated versus not, because
it is like kind of imprinting the value. It also
just makes me think like maybe college educated as like
a like you're saying Jack as like a sort of proxy.
Maybe that's not an accurate sort of shorthand for anything anymore.

(23:38):
Maybe like the relevance of like college educated doesn't mean
what it we think it means well or something when
you look at white adults without college degrees less than
of men back impeachment, of women back impeachment. I know,
it's so funny. It's just like it's just the one
of the myriad things I keep thinking about this impeachment.
It's just like, I mean, Maxine Waters was calling for

(24:01):
this day one, and just like we're just all catching
up to her, like many of the women who are
on the front lines of this, like right away. And
it's just like it's just does feel like the slow,
inevitable moving boulder towards like what we all sort of
saw as plain as day from even before he was inaugurated,
and like right from the beginning, and it's just this
like slow, inevitable, painful, painfully obvious crawl towards his hopefully

(24:26):
his impeachment, maybe his imprisonment, some sort of accountability hopefully,
and it's just sad and embarrassing that like these like
dumb white men are lagging behind just like with it.
And also to like it depends on sort of what
your worldview is, if you're willing to accept like what
Trump is like a manifestation of it, but then also

(24:46):
a thing for a lot of people wanted to just
completely disengage from everything. I don't blame now this is
being like high high hide. I know you've been like
not giving a fun comfort of whatever you're doing, but
can you also begin look here, yes, and what do
we subscribe this to? Do you think it's like the
Ukraine thing is really like that that I know that's
like the new catalyst for all of this, but like

(25:09):
do you, I mean just in your guy's personal opinion,
do you think that that is what is accounting for
this like spike in sort of the popular opinion about
impeachment or do you think it's just more of a
general fatigue and the Ukraine thing just feels like get
another layer on the cake that and it's just like
this cake is becoming inevitable, or like I think it's
pretty clear, like they were already asking the impeachment question

(25:30):
and polls like during the Mueller thing, and it really
did like switch, like support grew and opposition shot down,
like right after the red after they released that perfect transcript.
Perfect the timing of him making that call literally the

(25:50):
day after the Muller thing, by the way, it's just
like it's so transparently exactly, and I think there's something
people that get that, you know, he's trying to you know,
subvert the election, Like yeah, it's that that is kind
of like democracy is still important to Americans. Well, and

(26:13):
this one too, there's not even a good like messaging
strategy on the right that even their base could be
like that makes sense, But this is just sort of
like when you see a bunch of politicians being asked,
is it wrong for the president to lean on foreign
leaders to interfere in our elections? They just don't answer.
They just head butt camera, just like bowed into someone's

(26:36):
go pro and he's like like what what. But it
was just funny because when you see something that the
simplest question, it's not like there's noan to it. It's
like for your value exactly where exactly are there, And
they came like, I can't answer that, because see if
I do and I say the thing that most people
think is reasonable, which is say, not inviting foreign interference,

(26:57):
then that puts me in this other just but you
and I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Yeah, I have
a bit of an unpopular opinion, which is that I
just formated in my brain right now, which is I'm
almost impressed. I get the Trump just given how much
heat is on him right now, and given how inevitab
what like the inevitable trouble that he's in that he
knows he's in, and just like a life of criminal

(27:18):
activity catching up to him, and like about like on
the COSPA, being in full public view of like weeks
of testimony, like not just on Ukraine but about his
like corrupt organization and like sixty years of corrupt living.
He's actually playing it pretty He's actually been playing pretty cool.
I get that he freaks out on Twitter every day,
but when I see him giving these like in front
of helicopter interviews and like going to like weird like

(27:41):
iron workers fundraisers or whatever, I'm shocked that he's not
more panicky that that he's not actually more like more
lashing out that he hasn't like it just isn't going
on like cursing tirades or forgetting sentences or like it's
not like kicking up his dementia that he's like he's
pretty all things considered, I'm shocked at how compost he is.
Maybe that's a life on TV like life. No, it's

(28:03):
a life of never having to face conc I guess
it's just like you're like, I've never had to face him,
so like, sure it'll get hot or whatever. But he
has a pattern of like people complain or or they
say I break the law and then I pay this
guy to go to a court and do some ship,
and then I can't keep fucking eating cheeseburds. Maybe it's

(28:24):
true denial. He probably in his adult privileged brain it
never doesn't believe he'll be in trouble, and I shudder
to think that he might be. If you've never seen rain,
would even if you saw a bunch of classes like
I've seen this ship before, you know what happens doesn't
rain and they keep it moving point I think so
for you, it's like why should I'm like the pattern
I've experienced, just like I don't think he we we

(28:49):
talked on a recent episode about how narcissism is the
best thing, the best like personality does order you can
have because you are incapable of feeling guilt and like shameed.
So like these things that would make you know, even
like Richard Nixon, like part of what kind of wore
down about him and like what led to his sanity

(29:11):
dissolving was just like the weight of all the lies
like building up and he just felt guilty and he
was eventually just getting drunk every night in the White
House and just like being scared. And it just does
not that problem because he does not drink. Yeah, he
doesn't does not drink or field guilt. Yeah, it's amazing.
Someone said, I think I think it was Adam Schiffing,
But that was like if Nixon had a Fox News

(29:33):
like apparatus, he probably wouldn't have left office, right, because
there's enough to spin an alternate take on for people
who have are you know, they're depending on that sort
of diet media diet to get their little scraps once
they're real. One thing I'm keeping an eye on is
the five thirty eight, Like impeachment O Pinion Tracker, and
it's actually going like support is going down slightly and

(29:56):
oppositions going up slightly. Uh, what do you think? I
think it has to do with the fact that so
much of our like news content and just information about
the world is generated by like algorithmic sworting mechanisms, and
so like it's like a new news story is gonna hit,
like you're gonna get all this new news about the

(30:16):
new thing. But once you've accepted that fact and there's
not a new thing happening, like the news just kind
of filters away, just like slowly lose interest. I think
it's also kind of like narrative momentum. Yeah, yeah, dude,
he had the call that was hot, and then you
had some people who came in and backed it up hot.
You get some more people who came in backed it

(30:38):
up hot. Then it's like the same people saying the
same thing, backing up the original thing, like like can
you give me some Like it's crazy in this medio
that we need a new smoking gun every eight hours,
or we check out rand new smoking gun that's even
hotter than the last moment exactly, And I think, but

(30:59):
that's now I think once it moves into the public phase,
now they can rest kick start of the thing. But
that's what we're assuming because that's what happened with Nixon.
But like once things like once the word was out
about Nixon, like public opinion about him just stayed low,
whereas with Trump and with our modern world like where

(31:20):
everything is just based on like the new thing. I
just worry that, like people will still be bored by
like hearing people say the same ship over and over.
I think that's possibility. I just think at the very
least though, it will be very different, uh you know
that for people to actually see like not like partisan
hacks go up there and be like this is what

(31:42):
he did. Care him hearing that and even hearing like
Republicans ask their questions and getting the answers they might
not want to hear back because we're seeing that they're
really struggling with all of this, like they don't even
know how to take news and process it because it's
everything has been so damning. So in a public situation,
when you will clearly see people asking questions from the
Democrats side that are like trying to get to the truth,

(32:03):
and then whatever the Republicans do it'll be. I mean again,
I think it's it's a little too early to think
that anything's going to really change and that impeachment is
going to solve all of this. But I think in
terms of for me personally, I feel like a lot
of it too is that people need another smoking gun,
and I think public hearings will be a little bit

(32:24):
of a smoke show. Don't think so it'll be. It'll
be the as Trump would want. It will be the
television event of the year, just NonStop crime parade, hopefully.
I mean, like, I know we're gonna get I don't
want to stop on the I know we're gonna get
the fireside chat pitch in a minute. But do we
think there is a world fingers cross it? Like Trump
himself takes the stand and like has to sort of
like be questioned by Congress. Is that beautiful? Beautiful theoretically

(32:50):
have to show up and be there as they like,
I believe so, And I think it's you never know,
he might want to be like I need to get
him see and this let's just let's just get to
that part. So he's he's really trying to get in
front of this whole impeachment thing because again, right, he's
operating in this world where any he's never faced consequence

(33:10):
anything he does, so why not get out there and
be honest about He did something similar last year. I
forget what it was in relation to him, Like he
literally just admitted to show but like he because it
was like it was a problem. Yeah, yeah, it was
the Michael Cha thing. The thing. It wasn't Michael Cha,
it was Lester Holt. But when he was like yeah,

(33:32):
and so I fired him because I was thinking about Russia. Yeah,
there was anything anyway all the time. And again, because
it comes so frequently, we sort of lose track of
all this ship. But it won't be satisfying. We won't
get the moment where he's defeated in court and uh
like Jack Nicholson and it's going to like think about

(33:54):
Saddam Hussein. Up until the very end, that dude was defiant.
He was like, you know, blee, he was being set up,
he committed genocide and like he was still like up
to the last minute just being like, you know, you
guys are full of shit, and like thought like fully
existing in a bubble where he was the only person

(34:14):
who was still right in the world. And about the
TV thing. I also do get the sense that Donald Trump,
just given that he television is the only currency he knows,
like it's the only thing he knows that like that
the other thing he believes has impact or is like
a a sort of yeah, like a transmittable currency. It's
just like he like, yeah, I'm sure he can't wait.

(34:36):
Like you see him with these rallies. Is the only
time he's comfortable is in front of a crowd. And
that's why I signed it. It was so great scene
him go to the World Series game and gave obviously
just like having his illusion shattered, but just like yeah,
like he only ever wants to be on TV. And
I'm sure to your point, Miles, his delusion leads him
to the fact that like, just get me on camera.
I can do it. I can sway them all. Yeah,
exactly from perfect goat mouth. And he was he was

(35:01):
being interviewed by the Washington Examiner and they right here
quote this is what he said to them. This is
over a phone call. There's a good call. Trump, sitting
behind the Resolute desk, said in an interview at sound point,
I'm going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat
on live television, and I will read the transcript of
the call because people have to hear it. When you
read it, it's a straight call, straight down the middle. Baby,

(35:26):
you're gonna love it. I actually think that the like
that the Republican strategy at your point, and I was like,
no strategy. All these times are indefensible. The crimes are
keep piling up. But I do think that, like, I
don't know, I wonder what you think. I wonder if
it benefits them to try to narrow the scope of
this impeachment hearing and trial, etcetera, just to this one
phone call, which is not perfect, is criminal obviously dull, however,

(35:51):
and whereas the Democrats might just want to broaden out,
which I think they are going to do. Brought it
out to just like a general abuse of power, and
to try and loop in all of the crimes, the
emoluments and the Trump hotel and this and that. I
actually think it works to the Republicans benefit if they
keep it really narrow and they frame the impeach thing
about it just being about this one one time. It's
most likely going to be I'm most people think the

(36:11):
emoluments thing isn't gonna work. So they know this is
the one that they can argue so many things about
the emoluments thing, but this has so much You have
so many material witnesses, you have so much damning evidence
that you really like they're like, let's just get fucking
narrow because like they can dance around all this other
ship as much as they want to. That's the part
that reaches me so much, like just the the the

(36:33):
bald face car the fact that the emoluments and just
like hotels, all the diplomats from taking tells Mike Pence
taking a helicopter out of the way to refuel at
the Trump gas station in Ireland or whatever like that
happening constantly, constantly, constantly, and just knowing in my cynical
black American heart, knowing that that will go unpunish just
chaps my assn this is this particular instance or activity

(36:56):
in his presidency is the more like this we should
impeach like or this is it? I mean again, because
unfortunately you have to have the will of the people
behind it too for to not completely bite you in
the ass. And the elections that they're like funk, I mean,
I wish we could appeal to people's hearts because children
being separated at the border and they're bringing all this
other ship that's completely fucked up, and maybe we can

(37:17):
argue like this is not the kind of person that
we need leading the country. Unfortunately, there's not enough sent
for whatever reason, people weren't willing to you know, find
other reasons or other of the myriad that like the
things that underlie this scandal are things that his supporters

(37:37):
have always secretly feared. Yeah, this is fun, but like
the we we don't want to be in a position
where this guy is making life and death decisions, right,
so like on on the involves national security, it involves
the actual like election and just possibility of continuing to

(37:59):
have a democracy. So it's like very important things that
seem like, you know, going back to the election, when
he started talking about gold Star parents, Remember that's the
only thing that actually hit his approval everything. Point like
you know, the if you would say something racist or
you know, the access Hollywood tape, Like those things didn't

(38:22):
really hurt him that much. Good point. It's the stuff
where it's him proving that he's completely not up to
the job of being the commander in chief. Of a
military and him cheating at democracy, things, things that people
actually care. This is the point that I think it's
been made before. But also there's something about the Ukraine
phone call that it's like very like, uh, there's an
old school scandal nous to it, where it's like Russian

(38:45):
metally the election Facebook. It's a little ephemerally. You can't
really wrap your arms around it exactly. It's hard to define,
hard to quantify, but like this is like a landline
telephone and cover up and they crossed out the words
with a real pen, and it's just like, yeah, that's
some thing we know. That's like from the seventies, the
transcript a secret safe. Yeah, like it feels very tentieth century. Well,

(39:08):
and and then you have like the other added dimension
of this goofball Rudy Julia going around and doing the
dumbest ship. So first there this story came out recently
in The Daily Beast that was saying that he met
up with Zalinski's rival at the end of the former PM,
Yulia Timoshenko, who they who in the White House, like

(39:28):
she's she might be the future president, so it's odd
Rudy's going to meet with her. It says. Several sources
said that among the topics discussed between the two or
U S military aid, future US Ukraine relations, and the
source familiar with the arrangement told The Daily Beast that
the meeting was brief, came at Giuliani's request um and
that the attorney was quote trolling for business either way.

(39:53):
So this has also comes around like a thing where
Rudy has really been active over there, but may have
been a thing that they've been mulling for wise, because
I think also too at the same time, we didn't
know what was gonna going on with the Mother investigation
that they probably said this is going to help with
whatever they find out investigation where you can act like
this was all. If we can get Ukraine to say this,

(40:13):
then maybe we have a little nugget we can hold
onto in this sea of the The public self immolation
of Virgiliani is is such a delicious subplot, not even
it's becoming almost like the plot plot of this like heinous,
heinous presidency. And I just want to say, and more
broadly as a native New Yorker, it is it's psychically
spiritually damaging and like just deeply depressing Between Donald Trump

(40:38):
and Routi Giuliani that like this time in history is like,
this is the end of New York. This is the
end of New York City supremacy. New York City almost
has lost any claim to being like like especially outer burn,
like my mother from Long Island, have a lot of
family from Queens. Like this that's over now, like that
being a good, cool, awesome, innately valuable thing. Trump and
Rudy have put a stake in that. That's done. I said,

(41:00):
all right, New Yorkers, we'll give you a shot. Exactly
came in and well, actually, now you you can actually
rest because Trump changed his residency to Florida a favor. Yeah,
you know, it's like makes sense. It's just it's just
brutal to see these guys on TV who like sound

(41:21):
like my relatives, makes such horrible assets of themselves. Every day.
Everything I'm seeing from this Florida man in the news
seems like a good guy. There's also this other story
I just want to read you about Rudy Julian. It's
just a little bit of comic relief. Um, I'm just
going to read this article because it starts off so beautifully.
The crowd of people waiting to get into the Apple

(41:43):
Store and Union Square on a Tuesday in February seventeen,
included tourists, shoppers, techys, and Rudy Giuliani, the newly appointed
cybersecurity adviser to President Trump Security. Giuliani showed up at
the San Francisco store after being locked out of his
iPhone just twenty six days after Trump named him, say

(42:05):
Christ because he had entered the incorrect password into his
phone over that's hard to do. It's hard to do.
And like this whole thing is like a dementia awareness
ps A. You think, like this whole presidency, like between
and Trump, it's just like, god, yeah, because I think
people like there's a there's a whole lot of sort

(42:26):
of gray area before somebody fully has dementia. And like
we're seeing that where it's right, like they're lucid some
of the time but then other times less so. And
we're seeing that with our president and his right hand man.
And it's just like the real head of cybersecurity for
the United States. It's like Jared the genius at the

(42:47):
San Francisco iPhone Apple Store, It's just like, oh, baby,
Like that is legitimately how he has run things Trump
like he would put a Apple store or a genius
like cybersecurity. Like, you're not even joking people. He's had experiences.
I know stores, I know television, I know real estate.

(43:08):
That's all I need to know. That's all I've ever known.
I don't want to learn anything. Where's that where's that
kid with a T shirt with Apple on it? Is
he busy? This is my text? Are David commander in
chief of the geek Squad is a genius? Yeah? But
I don't like the drinking card. I'm not into bars

(43:28):
too much exactly, but if it's a much geniuses, all right,
we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back.
And we're back, and Aunt Becky is back in the
news now yet another charge that she is not guilty of.

(43:54):
According to the third charge you got tired card of
bribery is not why her sentence has been so much
more than Felicity Huppans, Like, what what's the discrepancy there?
I don't understand why. I think Felicity was she only
paid like fifteen or twenty grand or something. She got
to have her daughter's tests completely. It's always hers is
like almost more galling Felicity Huffmans in that it was

(44:17):
just they cheated, like the S A T S Like,
that's kind of wild that you could just have somebody
to take or change, like correct your daughter's sah what
she did? Yeah, so then what did an Becky do? Exactly?
She basically paid to be like, hey, my daughter's a
lit Sorry she did not pay usc. It was paid

(44:40):
a phony chair right in USC is how you actually
get into exactly that's daughter's flows. It's going to be
a lot more than here. And I know that this
point has been raised a million times, but why not
just do the thing where you like, donate a building
to you, just like there's so many other ways to
have building money. They have bribe a phony athletic recruiter money,

(45:02):
not Tommy Hill figure exactly. Um. But so the third
charge of bribery got tacked on and again they are
sticking to their guns. Fucking nope, not guilty, okay, everything,
And they are doing again a joint defense, which people
are like, why are you doing this because again they're
saying very risky because if one person between the two

(45:25):
of them is like, yo, a deal is looking good,
that could end. That could end not very well, um,
and essentially right now because of all this they are
looking at now obviously this isn't going to happen, but
considering what the charges are, they are facing around fifty
years in prison and millions and dollars if they're found guilty.
But they're not going to go to fucking what are

(45:49):
they working? Mother who was sold weed? Exactly? You know
what I mean? Amen to that, But that's what I think. Like,
I have a feeling they'll probably compablete deal when they
like fam don't even Felicity she wore new balances in
a green suit for ten days, yes, exactly. And isn't
the Lifetime movie already happening? Like, isn't there already the
movie version of this being made by her? Stop she's

(46:13):
playing actually yeah, she's negotiating the rights right now by
Laughlin's playing Felicity. Felicity like John c Riley, Yes, exactly,
thank you. But I think, yeah, they'll do whatever, They'll
be fine. Yeah, yeah, they're rich, they're rich. It's American
man consequence. They do a year, I'll be shocked. Yeah,

(46:34):
they do one year found guilty a year? Yes, So
what was the actual So what ended up ultimately happening
with am Pecky's daughter. Did she go to USC? Did
a second? She just did? For it's not anymore. They're
not there anymore. Okay, yeah, okay, so her daughter went
to USC begrudging lee because she did not want to

(46:54):
go to college. As she told her YouTube followers, that's right.
As you guys know, I'm not like a school per
I'm like a tailgate party. It's like I have to
go to class and ship. It's just such insult to injury.
It's just like I came through all this trouble to
get right. And that's what's doubly offensive. Is like when
you look at how much like the way this system
is built to be, like, well, you have to go

(47:14):
to college if you want to enter the middle class,
and it's like people who don't have generational wealth, like
you don't even like stop even pretending you want to
do this exactly completely defamed you as a human being,
just a baby who need check that baby need check
for YouTube. Ye. Whereas the other people who are like,
I'm trying to get into this fucking school so I
can like flourish or have some kind of upward mobility,

(47:37):
somebody should have an investment fund that's called Hothouse Flower.
That's just for like the children of rich people to
just like grow their money so that they or just
actually it could just be a Ponzi scheme. Yeah, like
you would just take the money from the children rich.
It's taken. They wouldn't pay any attention. Yes, give to
the rich and give to the rich. Yeah, let's talk

(48:02):
about my decade TV. Okay, So this is a website
that they were talking about, a v club. I I
don't know how to describe this except for it's like
a TV emulator that when you pull it up, it
allows you to choose from seventies, eighties, or nineties or
a TV And what it essentially does is it skins
a bunch of YouTube videos that are from these decades.

(48:23):
So the description the Navy Club it says you simply
choose from one of the era's seventies, eighties, or nineties,
and you'll be whish to a vintage television portal filled
with hours worth of error appropriate content, all of which
unfolds with the fuzziness. We're all objectively better off without um.
So you can basically see like there's a whole side
thing which is like you want soap operas, you want sports,
you want movies, you want commercials, you want cartoons, you

(48:45):
want whatever. So what's great is like you can click
the channel button and it's like a little and then
it just randomly jet pops up like a YouTube video
that is like of that era. So it was just
it might randomly play a fucking Polly Pocket commercial or
you might see a fucking button and the episode or whatever.
So it's really I don't know why I thought. I
was like, Okay, this is a gimmick, and then the

(49:06):
thrill of just hitting channel and random something random coming
later I came to and now I'm here because like
having your having it delivered to you, so it's linear
and you don't have to worry about like making decisions.

(49:26):
There's not a thousand different decisions to make. It's just
like they are going to it's going to be garbage,
but you can just sit back and uh not worry
about the fact that your time is being wasted. That's
exactly you were here to waste time. But it's like
wild though, to literally just go from a commercial from
McDonald's from the nineties and then to like a clip

(49:47):
of a basketball game from the nineties and like, hell,
could I think I've experienced this? Remember this feels familiar?
Nick Anderson on The Magic I know that. Yeah. I'm
like looking at my hand, like the timelines in my hands,
and like, what error did you? What decade did you

(50:09):
find yourself most sort of like fixated by miles were you? Nineties?
I knew that obviously the most about But in the
eighties though, too, Like there was a lot of ship
that was activating ship deep in my brain, like an
old four Tourist commercial because remember those four Touris had
that woman who was like in a white stage and
it would just be like her in a car and

(50:29):
she was like walking around the car talking like yeah, yeah,
I remember that. Yes, Now do they have like the
modern commercial pre rolls on everything or I didn't experience that,
but saying I have ad blocker on my browser, so
already in the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, but I
have a feeling because it's a lot of like already
it's like copy written content, like I mean you'd have

(50:52):
to be you have lit account to put ads from
that off of that. Yeah, it just makes me just
fan uploads. Right, I gotta get in there. I gotta go. Uh,
I gotta sort of see I would love to sort
of dive back when were the Justin Long John Hodgeman
Apple PC that wasn't that was? Okay? Got it? Yeah? Great? Eventually,
I'm sure we'll need ten more years. We'll get there.

(51:14):
Yeah exactly. I just put on the nineties one and
then tried to pose it while I browsed in another tab. Yes,
you can't do that. Wait what, I don't think you
can pause it. It's like you're in the nineties nineties many,
it's amazing. Wow, great, I gotta wait sort what's it

(51:37):
called decade one? My decade TV? Great? Yeah, okay, I'm in.
I'm sold. Guys. Let's talk about blizz Con. Are you
familiar with blizz Con. I have to say, I don't
know what bliz is. So blizz Con is like the
con for Blizzard. Blizzards have a whole Uh this year

(51:59):
it's really dead, kidded to the Butterfinger Blizzards. So it's Blizzard,
the gaming company, and they just started their keynote apologizing
for we talked on I think a couple of weeks
not a great start about how they how they were

(52:21):
sort of the gaming version of the NBA, they were
sort of, uh, didn't weren't willing to side with anyone,
and in fact, somebody vaguely sided with Hong Kong and
they like whisked them off and everything. And it's just

(52:43):
so they you know, did the right thing and opened
up by making a completely anodyne state right about how
they didn't handle it correctly, while still not siding with
anybody you know, supporting free speech. Yeah, that's a funny
line that corporations have to walk now, like apologizing for
our for our behavior and our demeanor, but yet not

(53:04):
really addressing the core value issue. It's just like we're
going to apologize that we're sorry that we missed. We're
sorry that we missed, We're sorry that we are Yeah, exactly,
organizations exactly. It's more about revenue, so what you know,
there's no room for like morals, Yeah, exactly, the cast
So like I'll say, but it's about the money flying exactly.

(53:29):
So we're not gonna we're not gonna change anything, but
we are sorry that you are upset. Yeah, And they
also knew that they didn't have to work too hard
on the apology because they were about to announce Diablo
four and over Watch too, You go dummies exact again,
and the New World Warcraft expansion. That's all they hit

(53:50):
all their bases, stoke to you about that New World
of Warcraft. Due even had about this for a while. Yeah,
I'm fucking psight, you're warcraft. Your warcraft, boy, I thought
the story was about. Yeah, I'm gaming it literally, Yeah,

(54:21):
the trying to think of stuff, I don't see it.
Like again, I'm not a I'm not gaming literate either, Jack,
but I am NBA literal, and I just don't see
how Like it just seems a bit like this is
an unsolvable Becausetomo's point. It's just like it gets to
the root of like capitalism. It's just like I don't know,
yeah exactly, Like this is like kind of and in

(54:42):
the NBA, like people are gonna now show up to
all these games. You already see it, like the free
Hong Kong shirts. I'm like, there's gonna be protesters all
the time, all the time, and like what is he
gonna do about? Like there's no unless they like really
divorce themselves from Chinese investment, which is like again capitalism.
I don't see the league doing that. I just don't
see how this gets less sticky or like any less controversial.

(55:02):
Maybe just like the NBA will just rely on this
like a d D news cycle to like wash it
out of our conscious out of the front of our brains.
But I don't know this. This seems a bit unsolvable
to me. Yeah, I mean the solution should be that
capitalism and democracy work to get together, and so you
can't have gonna work, can't You can't uh dictatorship. Yes,

(55:26):
someone said it's married to like globalism. Someone said something
like I forgot who was, Like maybe it was my
wife even or my baby. Um said that really super wise,
super wise, Like I said, I haven't slept in years.
But there was like we thought that in the seventies
when we sort of opened this trade, you know, Nixon
to China, sort of open these pathways to China, that

(55:48):
they that China was going to become more democratic when
real it really it's been the opposite trend. We become
less democrats exactly, which is an unfortunate development but anyway
unfortunate Again, it's funny though too. But then like we've
also given them the curse of hyper consumer culture. So
it's like we both got sick off each other. We

(56:09):
infected each other. Yeah, we both get tested and sorry
I brought it back into the bed with you. Yeah,
I mean, I guess you know. Shack said something basically
about he was sort of thinking like, well, look, if
they if they want us to respect how they feel,
they need to respect how Americans do things too. So
it's like, why is it this one way street? And
I think because there's such because of the amount of

(56:31):
just revenue that and also how many companies like actually
manufacture things in there. It's a very like you'd have
to really upend a lot of way to do things
if you're going to be prepared to be like here's
the line, or be like this is or we're gonna
say what we want. You can do what you want
and we'll just say we don't like it, and can
that be it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was tricky

(56:53):
and Lebron just coming out like trying to protect that
space jam too, like just desperately needing a space jam.
It's all bleak. It's all bleak anyway. Blitz on World
of Warcraft right on, we talk about about your conspiracy
theory about Lebron's hairline and the headbands. Yeah, totally. You
talked about it. I mean, look, guys, can you give
me a brief helm we cover that it was. It

(57:15):
was basically validated when when his headband well, look his
hair plugs are not great. You know, it's hard. It's hard.
I don't know, you know, unless you're like Antonio banderis right,
I don't know that's a that's a that's a miraculous
hair plug job. Oh yeah, I didn't know banderis. Oh,
Antonio as a bad man. I'd be clocking all the

(57:37):
hair and I'm like, damn, it's just hard. Lebron's look
like it had been glued on and like shifted back. Yeah, look,
it's hard, and then you never know like where how
much hair you're gonna have at the time, or your graphs,
and then you lose more hair than keep updating your
your hard drive system software. This is not it's tough.

(57:58):
Look you think with the amount of with the scientific advancements,
you know, what then are we doing? Yeah? I want
to come back. I want my hair to look like
I was exactly, But you were saying that his headbands
were just getting thicker to cover up the night. The
NBA headbands I just we're getting thicker and thicker and
thicker and thigger and thicker and thicker, thicker. Ye, like, yeah,

(58:20):
just the with you know. Yeah, but hey, but NBA
has to protect their you know, they're there. Yeah, Michael
Jordan made a work for him. Yeah, you know what
I mean, Yes, exactly. But I do think there's something
like wise about Shack's point when it comes to like
capitalism versus authoritarianism. The reason this is such a conflict

(58:43):
is because capitalism has adopted this idea of the company
always buckles to whatever is most profitable, and at a
certain point, like capitalism, if it's going to survive, needs
to take a stand, like needs to have like too late. Yeah,
it needs to. It can't. It can't just be the
like whatever you guys say, yes, yes, Like the head

(59:05):
of a bunch of Fortune five companies, we're talking about
the fact that they are trying to shift like the
overall focus of their companies away from pure investor driven
profitability to like overall sustainability of the company. And what's nice,
there's enough like actual sober analysis of like where the

(59:28):
money is going, Uh, the wheels are gonna blow off exactly,
and then like we all want to just live in
like armed fortresses. That's exactly, like is that how it's
gonna go? And also just like like more global thing
of just like wealth like wealth, wealth, capital wealth, and
the qualities like how much money does the MP need?
Like more money? Do you nice? Well? I think Shack

(59:49):
was also feeling like this. The fucking NBA though, too full,
like just them be like, fuck, you're playing this ship
over here and then explain to your fucking people over
there while they're watching Steffan Marbory fucking out of breath.
Yes that's exactly, yeah, exactly. I mean that's what the
NBA's initial instinct should have been, like we offer there
is so much better than the next best product, Like

(01:00:13):
let one of our six men playing your league and
its lights out. Yeah, it's interesting, but that's what they
They've also been doing with soccer though, too, like these
companies have been poaching like talent in their prime from
Europe and they're just being like, you want to make
three million dollars a week and they're like, yeah, I'm
a Brazilian kid, yes, like a just Chinese soccer clubs

(01:00:38):
like Soccer League. So because they are thinking like well ship, like,
if is there a way to make our league really competitive,
try to make another product over here, and then we'll
use all this money that's flying around here to poach
like real talent there. I mean, it's not enough to
create make the league like competitive with like UEFA Champions
League or anything like that. But at the same time,

(01:00:58):
like that's sort of the thing. Yeah too, It's like,
can we like step our game up a little bit
when a parallel competitor or not just to like yeah interesting,
And I mean when you look at the numbers, just
like the sheer size of the population in China, like
they I think super producer Daniel was talking about how
like the streaming numbers when you subtract like Chinese streaming

(01:01:22):
versus like when you add them, it's like the entire
population of America's crazy, Like two x the population of
Americae is streaming like a game at once, and it's
just uh the numbers. It's like the rest of the world, uh,
seven thousand viewers and it's like you but it's like
this cultural thing taking a stand. I was reading the

(01:01:43):
paper this morning that like in mainland China, that president,
how do you say an x I she is hiring
student spies to sit in on in Like it's like
infiltrating Chinese universities with spies, and they are essentially like
ding out professors who like have any sort of opposing viewpoint. Yeah,

(01:02:04):
like that's real. That's a real scary slippery slope and
like it is you know, and it's not like the
NBA isn't tacitly endorsing that kind of a third Terran
doesn't by sort of continuing to do business. But are
they are they kind of in a way to stomach it? Yeah, exactly?
Is Jack still clear? Yeah, I know scary does need

(01:02:24):
to send in spies. Man, we use Twitter out here. Twitter,
