the more obscure u N committees, not not many security

(03:56):
council We're doing all right, well, Steve, Before you get
to know you a little bit better, we'll walk people
through a little bit what we're about to talk about. First,
an update with the racist Jesus Christ checking in with
someone from Iowa. Uh, you can guess who that is.
We're talking about Herman Kane pulling out of his FED

(04:18):
nomination race. Uh, but for a different reason, because he's
just bading too much for to be taking some broke
boy job at the FED. We're talking about Twitter users.
I guess Twitter users are more awoke, maybe make more money.
I don't know, that's what That's what the research says.
We got an insecure man basically ruining the world in
this country. I'll let you take one. Guess who that is?

(04:41):
Nicolas Cage. Okay, we're moving on us Donald Trump and
also a few other things. We're talking about Netflix aka
debt flicks, uh and Aunt Becky with oh Man. She's
in court now and she's getting up to have the
whitest defense ever used in a court trial. And I
can't wait to let y'all know about that one. But first, Steve,

(05:02):
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are as a human? As a Mexican Italian? Currently,
I run a comedy shows and stuff like that, so
it's a lot of comics names. But also besides that, Um,
I'm I'm. I don't know if you picked up on
this smiles, but I'm a gamer now. I don't know
if you've been seeing my social network stuff. Oh ship,

(05:28):
So how do I stop this air How do I
stop this airplane wing? I'm just sitting at my gamer
chair now I start. I've never having games since Halo,
so it's been about twenty years. But yeah, I'm just
gaming now, my girls gaming. We're watching each other game. Wow,
are y'all doing that thing where you straddle her like

(05:48):
you sit on her lap, facing her like chest the chest.
But y'all looking each other over shoulders, playing games on
opposite side, talking dual game and be intimate. No I
want I will tell you the last time I games.
I've never I've always been against gaming because especially you.
Just I just think back, think about like in high
school and stuff, and he just all these guys girlfriends
just watching you play like an NBA jams or something

(06:10):
like that. Yeah, and it's like, I don't want to
put anyone through that. But now the new games are
just so fun to watch. And when she's playing, I
just like watching her and I'm pulling for her and
I'm like, we're on the same team. Girl. Oh yeah,
it is very romantic. I like how like sort of
considerate you are, Like your your shame wasn't like man
gamers whack or like that. Shi it makes you look
like lose your Like I just really feel bad. I
think about other people who had to stand idly by.

(06:33):
That's truly, that was truly one of the big things.
I didn't want to I didn't want to put my
girl through that. But she'll just even She'll just come
and to crack a Lacroix and sit on the couch
and she'll be like, oh, dang girl, and she'll be like,
dang baby, you're doing it. Yeah. I'm like this is awesome, Like, yeah,
beat up those dudes. Oh is this like a stronghold? Yeah?
Is there a boss? Yeah? And she's very she's I

(06:54):
think she's better than me at gaming. Um, she's just yeah,
she's younger, Sharper. I love watching her, love learning from her.
This isn't just about me, you know, even though it's
a single player game, we're learning together. I think, holy shit,
that fuck. But she but she gets that, like it's
a thing that I really enjoy. So because we have

(07:16):
a healthy relationship, is like, all right, that's your thing,
you know what. I'm playing The Division two, I'm always
playing FIFA. I'm dabbling in Red Dead. Too many games
came out too quickly that I'm spread too thin, and like,
I'm playing The Division online and sometimes I hop on
with some side gang people, but I haven't been grouping
up with everybody because my level is solo and people

(07:37):
are so much stronger than me. Like I'll play they
just kill everybody, and I'm I literally haven't been ship.
So I'm getting carried through the game. So I'm trying
to get my level up. That way I can come
with it and uh, you know, uh contribute accordingly. And
if you like Halo, actually you probably like the Division two.
It's called Yeah as well, but yeah Division two, yes,
not like step up to the streets. The day dance,

(08:00):
I started playing pub g Mobile again. Just quick question
to get on Spider Man. What suit are you using?
I really can't get away. I love that punk rock suit,
and I like the halfway point of the game, and
I like hitting that guitar riff and I'm I don't really,
I'm not really even trying to win the game. I'm
doing all the side missions. I don't want it to end.

(08:22):
What's is so fun to swing around? Oh? Yeah, Like
I remember when I first got that game. I'm not talking,
I'm not joking. I spent the first two hours just
webb slinging around the place. Yeah, I'm at level twenty
five on my guy. So like now I've got a
lot of I didn't understand. I mean, I'm telling you
I haven't played since Halo. And even then I bought
the Xbox I played Halo. I beat Halo, and that's

(08:43):
like all I did. Um, so all the stuff they're doing,
I didn't understand that you could like power up your
different like weapons and everything. So I'm just getting into
all of that stuff. Um. I I bought my the
I'm gonna say the helmet, but I bought the online
helmet heads Yes, you know, I like it better helmet

(09:04):
and helmet for online. You're like, baby doing good chief.
I tried. I thought they were just regular I thought
you could just like listen, like play with them, like
they were regular headphones. But they're not just to play
with my nephews because they're in the Fortnite. They're like
ten and eight. So um but I haven't really gotten
into Fortnite yet. But okay, look at you uncle the year. Yeah, yeah,

(09:25):
it's great. I'm having a great time. Um, I'm sorry
I talked trash about all you people for all these years.
It's just so amazing what they're doing in gaming now,
Like the story, I mean, just so many side projects.
When I was Miles Morales for a little bit, I
was like, they didn't have to do this, they're just
doing this, but they did it. Yeah, they're just doing
this because they obviously love games and they love the
story and it's just so cool. I'm so blown away

(09:47):
by Also, a lot of the programmers are changed to
their desks for eight hours a week, but other than that, exactly. Yeah,
don't get into the part, especially towards the end of development,
where they're like we said it was coming out in
a month. I don't give a phrase. You all overwork
yourselves to the end. Yeah, that is the very dark
side of the video games we play. Thanks Andrew, I'll
enjoy it. Yeah, I guess there's I guess enjoy that.

(10:10):
I guess there's an Easteric and the New Spider Man.
You see this ship where uh there's like like visibly
Hasidic Jews on the streets generally, and they don't come
out on Saturday. The characters Saturday in game. Yeah, I
do you know it's in game? Is there a day
of the week? And Taku, I don't know how it
works now, I gotta now. I didn't realize, but I
guess days do go by. It does get dark, and

(10:31):
so I think there's there's days outside my house when
I'm game. I think there's days in the world. Yeah,
I think I don't have to understand from this article look, man,
I think time is a flat circle. Um. I have
made a conscious effort to not game too much. But
I've gone down already, and I've had the system for
three weeks now, and I have gone down three different
times where it's like, there goes five hours, that's five

(10:52):
am right now, and I but I do I just
go alexa, you know, forty five minutes. And then I'm
pretty good at sticking to that, right, and then it's
think it's for me, like I got to be the
electro real quick. All right. What's something you think is overrated? Threesomes? Yeah,
go on, that's it's that they're overrated too. I don't Yeah,

(11:16):
I think they're too unless you've experienced a bunch of them.
I've had a bunch of threesomes. I'm kind of like
a sex god around the l A comedy community. Everyone
knows that in any community. Yeah, yeah, in most communities. Um,
but yeah, they're overrated. Someone's always left out and that's
what I feel. Yeah, there's someone's always left out and
it's sad. Half of the time it goes awful and

(11:37):
those are bad, like it means like like people's feelings
are hurt. Yes, yeah, that happens half of the time.
It's not like what you see in the porno or
like the other person who's maybe I would be like, oh, yes,
I'm loving this. I'll keep doing a day. So you
watch different Porto than the part of that I watched
has always has one person that's sighing. Well yeah, I
mean if you well, that's the thing too, that's called

(11:57):
coulds are over rated. But if you're gonna do them,
you gotta go two guys, one girl. It's the absolute
best way to do it. Trust me. I mean, you've
seen the pornography with that, there's always one girl. Like
rubbing someone's leg, it's like someone gets left out. If
you just all agree that we're going to worship the
woman right here, and then you have two guys doing it,

(12:18):
it's super fun. Everyone's having a great time. But generally,
I don't know if I'm going to have another one.
I'm not in a situation where I've been had the
opportunity to have a threesome. Typically in your experience, how
does the agreement come about where people are like, okay,
it's time for a manage. Um, it's it is just

(12:40):
something in the air. Are you swinger? I've I yeah, um,
I we do. We can do whatever we want, but
but with respect and everything like that were like ethical nonmonogamy. Um,
I've had I've had a ton of group sex with
my ex partner. We used to swing for like a
years and then we are polyamorous and stuff. I don't

(13:03):
know if polyamory is a real thing, no disrespect to anyone,
but if it is, I'm one of those I can't
tell im. It's something I'm trying to figure out, like
in my heart, like is this a real thing or
is this me not wanting to go deep with somebody.
So I don't know if that's a real thing or not. Um,
but yeah, I could do all that stuff. Um yeah,
it's it's fun and she can do all that stuff.

(13:23):
So so shout out to threesomes overrated, but they are overrated.
Um you got It's almost like it's almost like getting married.
You gotta do it first and then you realize like,
oh that that's probably a bad idea adea. Yeah, well
once you get married. Once you get married, and most
married people and they look back and they go, oh, man,

(13:45):
like even if you've done that before, even if you
love your thing, you're like, we didn't have to do
all of that, Like, have just done this. I am
not close to getting married, but I'm realizing my primary
motivator for doing so it would be because I feel
like I owe so many people for nice weddings. So
maybe I should just throw a party and just be

(14:07):
like I got you guys back for the wedding. Yeah,
that's it. Just keep cooking at those Bologney sandwiches. Oh,
I will accept that as payment. Will you be to
my wedding? Then? Yeah, I've been to your wedding? What
something you think is underrated? Not very farm? Keep talking
like you go to Disneyland. There's all these people out here.

(14:27):
But by the way, when I was single for one year, uh,
I dated a girl with a Disney pass. This is
you know? That was my most piece? Yeah? Oh yeah,
that that was like rough. I almost got one too.
That's how the place I was in my life though,
where I almost got one too. I think it. I
think if I I understand correctly, like one with parking,

(14:50):
that's like pretty decent. It's like five bucks for a
year for a year, okay, And but the way I
was talking to less than two bucks a day if
you go every day. I mean, I was talking to
this girl for to bucks a day I went on.
I went on five dates with this woman and like
from the date, first date, she was like trying to patch.
She's like, if you think about it, you know you're
having a bad day, you just head out to Disneyland
after She's like going a couple of rides, no big deal.

(15:12):
And I was like, damn, you're making a lot of sense,
you know. They're like, yeah, if that's your way, you
could soothe the instantly, Like man, the cable guy didn't
show up, I'm going to Disneyland. But yeah, I've never
liked Disneyland even when I was little, because you feel
taking advantage of It's like they're just trying. I mean
I you were like, this feels like, oh yeah, it's

(15:32):
part of my personality type when people overcharged me like that,
it's like you're just trying to get me. But how
did you as a child? What was your first inclination
in your child mind where you like somethings wrong, sms
up here, Disneyland I was if you I don't, I
don't I know how you grew up, Miles. I don't
I haven't talked too much of you. But if you're
kind of poor and your parents aren't the best parents,
then you're aware of money very much all the time.

(15:52):
You know, the bills I always saw in a pink
a red one would kind of all that. So I
was very aware of prices. Walk get into that Disneyland,
you walk in there, you feel taking advantage of I
know it's two from a from a price standpoint, like
some other weird ship that they're like they're being exploited
a child break No, no, no, there's no it's just
being exploited of us with money, trying to take our money. Yeah.

(16:16):
Now do you want to talk about Knots very value? Right,
that's a value, that's a working man's amusement park. Right,
it's about follow up question. Yeah, it's about if you
got in here no traffic, it would take you maybe
forty minutes, forty five minutes to get to that very
fun Okay. Um, Now they're annual pass andrew hundred and

(16:39):
thirty bucks that includes access to their water park in
the summer, that includes what is it what is a
day pass for Notts very far? I don't know, just
by the annual pass universal Studio Disney. Starting one for
a Socar resident is three nine and that's with wild
blackout dates too. If you want, you know, if you

(17:00):
at that Knots Berry farm and you will pass, I
think they pay you now. You know, you can get
a season passed for five payments of fifteen fifty after
initial payment. Hold on, let me pull up with the
actual status are yeah, damn bucks and because initial payments
probably a lot more. No, no, it's not. And they're

(17:21):
also like, we know these fools are going to have
to make eight dollars for a regular gold if you
want platinum e that's the best of the best. You
get to hang out with John Knots at that point.
Yeah yeah. Around the farm yeah also great, Yeah, if
you want boys and berry pie and stuff like that,

(17:41):
good stuff at the Knots by the right? Is it
so it's actually a berry farm. There's berries and whatnot. Yeah, yeah,
is there a Knots Berry that's popular. I'll look at Boisberry,
the baby created the boys and berry. Yes, that's a
real thing. Whoa, yeah, so that's not very farm goes boys.

(18:02):
This is this is real history too. I mean, you've
got to love the amusement Park that like is based
on a man making preserves, you know what I mean.
And also the Mrs Nots Chicken Restaurant. Yeah, I can't.
I haven't been there recently since my palette has evolved
a little bit. My fears dried as But they got
that chicken dinner with the fried chicken that was also

(18:24):
like a staple from Berry Chicken restaurant. You get a
fucking big gass pickle. Yeah, for like twenty dollars. You
get this huge dinner with like five courses that includes dessert.
You can get a chicken pot pie. Are the couple
of huge pieces of fried chicken biscuits almost suspicious of
this chicken or not. This is perfect for me because,

(18:44):
as Steve is aware, we went to a Dodger game
a week ago about and I could not stop talking
about what I was going to eat at the Dodger
game for fully two days. I feel like, well, no,
it's because I think I've been trying to like eat
a little healthier. But well yeah, but so my cheats
are like if I met a sporting event or if

(19:07):
I feel like it, I want whatever the funk I want. Anyway,
I went disgusting and we brought bond me into the stadium.
I had to Dodger dogs. You brought you smuggle some
bond me. You can bring bring food into Dodger Stadium,
you can't. Yeah. You can bring in any kind of
bottled water or bottled drinks as long as they're closed
not an alcoholic. And you can bring in chips and
peanuts and all that time. It just has to be closed.

(19:28):
Oh really, Yeah, this is for the day of the
exact guy fans out there. Yeah, it's always been like that,
you know, because my friend, well this is my friend
who used to go with my neighbor. They had like
they would occasionally get tickets from like their work season
pass or whatever. His dad he's just pound a while,
like cores like in the parking lot, and then we
would go in and he would be like, you know,
keep this, keep this on the low. Like so we

(19:50):
were like kind of smuggling to begin with it. And
I didn't know the whole time you walk down down
the open you walking bring a pizza in there. Yeah,
I fully brought in that would be more hilarious. Ex speriment.
We try and like test the limits of what they're like. Okay,
hold on, you're bringing like catering trays, right, I think
I think you can do it. Yeah, go to the pavilion.
We should go to the pavilion bringing catering trays and

(20:12):
just feed the masses. Okay, anyway, that's a good, good note. Finally, Steve,
what is a myth? What's something that people get wrong that?
I mean, you know, what's a myth that he's just
looking out there? But I think I think the God
of the Old Testament gets a real bad rap. I
think people think he's mean and they don't like him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jehovah, yeah,

(20:34):
all of that. I think he gets such a bad rap.
When you're growing up, you're like, oh Jesus, what a
good guy. You know, he seems nice and stuff right
as you follow your sins. But that's not the kind
of guy when you get older that you want to
be rolling with. You want a guy you can count
on that what his word means something, you know what
I mean, he stands for it. So he loses his
cool sometimes. But you know, I mean, I love I'm

(20:55):
I used to be a pastor. So I was a
minister at a mega church. You were yeah, okay, yeah,
at faith community church in West Covina. I hear, it's
not doing the West Okay in the building. Yeah, but
I grew up in the Great I can parking tips. Yeah,

(21:16):
I'm a I'm a l a local native. So yeah,
so I grew up with that. And I I never
liked the idea of Jesus or I didn't like the idea.
I knew even then that the apostle Paul ripped off
like the Jewish religion, like the way he tagged on
the New Testament to the Old Testament was always kind
of shady, Like I knew that in my heart. But

(21:37):
I was mad at God for murdering people, uh in
the Old Testament, which he murders a bunch of people.
But what the older I get, the more I'm like, well,
come on, he could do whatever you're like, he said, yeah,
y'all violated. And also, if you look at the Bible chronologically,
the Old Testament, especially, a lot of people put God
over time. They say God's above time, so he doesn't

(22:00):
exist in the pastor present. But if you put God
in time, the Bible makes a lot more sense. Like
if you were an all powerful being and you created
these things and they you would murder them at first,
you wouldn't understand. So you see that if you look
at God in time and that he was learning to
interact with us as a species, as a people, then

(22:22):
you can see that he's growing and learning. People don't
like the idea of growing God growing or learning because
he's supposed to be omniscient. Yeah, but how if you're
an all powerful being and you've never interacted with people
that aren't all powerful, of course you're gonna have there's
gonna be a learning. It's like when Dr Manhattan like
pulls up and he's like, ohh, I don't know. I
just touched that dude and he exploded, just like God
was like, yeah, I mean if you've said kill your

(22:43):
son for me real quick, let me dial that back
next season season two on God. Yeah, like the Pantheon
of Greek people, they're like putting axes in each other's
heads all the time and eating each other. That's just fun.
It's like a cartoon. Well, that makes more sense. That's
why all the Greek odds all that stuff, they look
like us. That makes sense that there's a bunch of

(23:03):
different gods. Oh okay, if that left up thing happens
then that was the God of war. Are that kind
of thing that makes sense when you just have one
god like that, he gets a lot of golf because
a lot of bad things happen on this earth. But
I'm just saying not to me though. Yeah, he was
a capricious youth. You know, he was learning a young
God and then older God. Older God, let him get

(23:25):
a six thousand years under his best. Speaking of God,
I just want to bring up very quickly the Nazi
taint scab himself, a Congressman, Steve King from Iowa. Um,
he recently, you know, he's been going through a lot um.
He recently found out that white supremacy is not fucked
with in this country. Won't buy most by a good
majority of people, a significant amount be by a thin

(23:46):
majority of majority, but nonetheless a significant amount of people,
thin majority at a distressing number of them not white. Yes,
And a few people were pointing out, look, he sounds
like he's keeping for white supremacy and using all this
coded language and on other other times completely uncoded language,
just straight up in your face, like what's wrong with
the white civilization being under attack? I'm a bad guy

(24:10):
now anyway, So he recently, speaking to a crowd about
the future of Christianity, he was asked by a pastor
I believe by the name of Pinky Perkins, um what
what they thought? And you know, just sort of like
his trials and tribulations, And this is Steve King says,
quote for all that I've been through. And it seems
even strange for me to say it, but I am

(24:30):
at a certain piece and it is because of a
lot of prayers for me. And when I have to
step down to the floor of the House of Representatives
and look up at those four hundred and some accusers.
You know, we just passed through Easter in Christ's passion,
and I have better insight into what he went through
fore the Trinity. Baby. Uh so yeah, he I guess

(24:58):
is Christ. He knows better about Christ. You know. Well,
let me just say this, Stephen King has come a
long way since The Shining I liked this early and
the Dark Tower series. Yeah, you know, a lot of
people don't like the last book. But this new stuff,
this new stuff is funnier. Yeah, it's interesting, it's interesting.
It's definitely out of his wheelhouse, but we'll keep your

(25:19):
eye on it. That's the one thing. Whenever you could
look at any book and call it an errant, which
a lot of Christians believe that the Bible is perfect,
then you can do a lot of really left up
things with that thing. That's how they were able to
keep slavery going. And I don't, I really, they're just stupid,
the idea that white, even whiteness, is in the Bible
at all. Yeah, I mean, they're just who's white in

(25:41):
the Bible? Nobody, no one, No one's white. Yeah, hey,
pull up, pull up to Judea right now. Yeah, what's
good over there? That's good in Egypt. But they you know,
they yeah that these people are monsters. But I mean
I do think that it's very funny. Yeah. I mean again,
shout out to anybody who any one who tries to
put themselves make them a martyr, make themselves a martyr,

(26:04):
and then make yourself put your christ complex display like
that when you were so clearly in the wrong. I mean,
the cognitive dissonance, maybe the mental gymnastics. All right, here's
the here's the mental consistency. Is Steve King his Jesus
is indisputably a white supremacist. So in that sense, a
lot in common yet common. Jesus loves Steve King. Yeah, good,

(26:29):
he loves us. All. Uh let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back, and uh,
I just want to talk about Herman Kine real quick, Mr,
with one of the worst tax plans ever put forward. Um,

(26:51):
you know, he was put up to be a nominee
from one of the open seats at the FED. To
you know, I've spoken in the past about how the
FED is not just some ship you can just toss
some dude in who we used to run a pizza chain,
because they have tremendous oversight powers setting interest rates, they
have to regulate things. They're not just a glamour position,

(27:12):
and you need a very good understanding of economics to
work there. Uh So, anyway, Herman Kane was put out
as a nominee. Everyone was like, are we fucking for
real right now? Just because this is like someone Trump
knows who vaguely said something about the economy and worked
at the FED in Kansas City. I mean, indisputably, Herman
Kane has a better understanding of economics than Donald Trump.

(27:35):
He's like this guy knows, like, hey, you know this brother,
he's pretty smart this guy. Usually they're they're wasting their
money on chains and ship I like this Herman Kane
gay as you know he's saying something like that. Anyway, um,
it came out. You know, obviously people looked at his past.
He had to pull out of the presidential race because
of allegations of sexual misconduct. Then the Senate made it

(27:57):
pretty clear, like off the record, when we're asking GOP
centers like, hey, what do you think about Herman Kane,
They're like, he's unfucking confirmable. I'm just telling you that
right now. They're like, I know, I'm like a rubber
stamp for this president and that. Yeah, and they're like
this guy knows funk all, Like there's no way he
has wait this, I can't know no. So inevitably he

(28:17):
was going to puff his chest out a little bit.
He said, I don't care even if if that's the
rum where I'm still gonna I'm still gonna go through
with it because I know I can do it. Then
suddenly he I think, realized that jig was up and
took his pizzas to go. Uh and but he wants
everybody to know. He wants everyone to be clear It's
not because he was unconfirmable or holly um lacking the

(28:39):
pedigreed for the position, or anything like that. It was
because he's too baling to take this gig, he said
quote At the same time, I was told that what
the ethical restrictions would be, I would have to let
go of most of my business interests. I could not
serve on any boards, I could not do any paid speeches.
I cannot advocate on behalf of Capitalism, host my radio show,
or make appearances on Fox Business. Without getting too specific

(29:02):
about how big a pay cut this would be, let's
just say I'm pretty confident that if your boss told
you to take a similar pay cut, you tell him
where to go. Motherfuckeres out here being like I'm gonna
run the FED, and I'd be like, oh, I saw
the pay No. Just so you know, he would have
made a hundred three thousand dollars a year roughly, that's
around the average. But so that leaves Trump with Stephen

(29:23):
Moore as his other pick to take up the FED chair.
And this guy has been such a joke from the beginning,
Like he's been advocating for the gold standard and people
like put press into the sort of like you tell
us about your nonsense gold standard idea and he's like, oh,
I never said that, And then they played a whole
fucking montage and him caping for the gold standard, and

(29:44):
he's like, well, you know, I may have said that.
He's like, and I think I think that makes sense,
but I don't personally think it's necessary. And it's like,
you slippery motherfucker. I mean, um. He also said he's
not much of an economist self, admittedly, even though he
has a master's. I'm a little like I can't believe
Herman Kine what a chump for Like, I mean, I
know it's just a lie, but like pretending the ethical

(30:06):
restrictions have any bearing on any member of the Trump administration. Well,
lest he's on the open with it. He's like, look,
I'm gonna be real. I'm a scumbag and I'm trying
to get every fucking check I can and if I
take this job, there goes everything drives up, So thank
you next. I'm it's also funny that, like, obviously, like
you'd think money would be a bigger part of where

(30:27):
the backstop Republicans. It's like where Burlasconi in Italy could
do anything until um, the fucking money got de valued
and all of a sudden, I was like, no, we're out,
You're like within a week. Like so it's just weird.
It's just weird or whatever. I guess I don't under
any Sorry, what's weird that like Trump can funk with

(30:48):
the economy so much and like the actual powers that
be haven't put a stop to that yet. Yeah, yeah,
well I think that's why. Well, because right now the
deregulation has led to good profits for those people who
are just trying to bleed as much capital out of
the system as possible. But I think that's why they
like herman came, that's will actually function. So no, no, no, no. Um.

(31:11):
So back to Stephen Moore. Recently, you know, CNN uncovered
some of his writings from you know, look, these are
hot takes from two thousand to y'all when we were
nobody was awake. But this the sexism man, let me
just tell you. In one of his columns, he suggested
changes to the March Madness Tournament to get rid of
quote Unamerican aspects of it. The first rule proposed by

(31:35):
More was no women. So this is what he wrote
in his calm. Here's the rule change. I propose no
more women refs, No women announcers, no women beer vendors,
no women anything. There is of course, an exception to
this rule. Women are permitted to participate if and only
if they look like Bonnie Bernstein. The fact that Bonnie
knows nothing about basketball is entirely irrelevant. Um. And then

(31:59):
he also at that Bernstein, who is a CBS journalist
at the time, should wear Halter tops. Was he being
funny in the article? It sounds like he was right,
well in a way, but like it's clearly like the
take where based on his other writings, he's the kind
of conservative who back then would be like, you know,
this is bullshit, We're fucking it up, because like in
two thousand two, this was like a take. People would

(32:21):
really say, well, this is Tim Allen. This is like
Home improvement humor. Yeah, yeah, well this is this is
the Again, this is where he starts sounding like some
dude out of Supercuts who's upset that he got bounced
from the next chair. So earlier in the calm he
had more anger that there was even a female referee
in this like in a March Madness game, and he said,

(32:41):
how outrageous is this if this year they allowed a
woman to ref ammends n C Double A game. Liberals
celebrate this breakthrough as a triumpher gender equity. The n
C Double A has been touting this as an example
of how progressive they are. I see it as an obscenity.
Is there no area in life where men can take
a vacation from women? Oh? My god, that's not joking. Yeah,
what's next? He said? What's next? Women invited to bachelor parties?

(33:05):
Women in combat? Oh yeah, they've done that already. Why
can't women ref the women's games and men the men's games?
I can't wait to see the first lady ref have
a run in the in with have a run in
with Bobby Knight. Okay, anyway, So yeah, that's the guy
who this is someone who has ideas about our economy.
This is kind of for thinking he was demonstrating a
two thousand two just around seeing a woman refereeing a

(33:28):
basketball game. It's like, I guess to me, the thing
is that's funny, is like right wing ship like never
really improves, Like the rhetoric doesn't really improve it like
it is you're right. It's like a home improvement bit
and it's wild that he did it. Um, but put
a spin on it. Guys. You could hear this on
Joe Rogan like this week if I wanted to. Yeah,

(33:51):
they don't. Um, I think the Republican Party doesn't reward
any kind of new thinking. Yeah, so there's no reason
you know why. That's why they don't come up with
new stuff. Nobody's really trying to well, yes, what's his name,
Ben Shapiro tries to act like he's coming up with
new like insights to but it's just it's very superficial. Yeah,
I mean I think really the the well, they're not

(34:12):
new insights. Yeah. The north star of Conservatives is just
to avoid being wrong. That's everything is done in service
of just, oh, you can't prove I was wrong on
thatdging and dodging. It's never here's an idea that we
can prove is like objectively good and works. Everything is
just more of like that sucks, And don't try and
nail me on my take on it, because I'm just

(34:33):
going to disagree with everything you say. There's no like,
there's no like you're saying. There's no advancement of any
kind of thought. Aside from maybe just ramping up the
attacks on people of color or transgender people LGBTQ P
like that's the one thing that maybe they are making
progress as Yeah, just like this ship could have come
from like nineteen nine, Andrew, you're awoke Twitter user, and

(34:59):
that's you desire more nuanced because I'm pivoting now, Jacks
away and the fucking pivoting in the paint like a
fucking this what's his drop step? Real quick? So obviously
you know Twitter is a healthscape echo chamber for people,
um real quick, because I think this is true for

(35:22):
Steve too. I think we vaguely disagree with that sentiment. Right, Yeah,
I don't I love Twitter, but I want to hear
you do your thing and then we'll get we'll get cooking. No, no,
I mean, let's talk about Twitter up front. What are
your feelings about it? What do you mean? I just
I think for me, I think too many white people
don't just block the bigots like interesting, yeah, because I'm

(35:44):
like and and to me, you know, I know the
echo chamber thing that that is reminiscing that and maybe
it's just because when I do, you know, as this racist,
I'm exposed to all this, but I'm like, right wing
thought is available super Oh no, No. What I mean
is just like, for whatever side you're on, it's there
for you, and you can get caught up in it,
however which way you want to, is what I mean.
Of course you can. You're like, you know, I'm I

(36:07):
follow a few different people who I like to see
what's going on on that side of the fence. Um yeah, yeah,
but yeah, out all the time. I do see a
lot of you know, white writers know that I think
of it. I wouldn't have thought that, but I don't
host a show called yos this racist? Uh? They do
say like oh this, They'll just tweet about it. Oh this,
this website is making me sick, and I can't believe

(36:29):
I'm back on it. I've just always you put down
your phone if you want. Yeah. I think I think
that's what it does too. I think part of subconsciously
what feeds me my perception of it being a housecape
is also the feedback loop that would pull you in. Yeah,
where I do that more on Instagram, where like I
just go through stories and I'm not even looking at
them ships. I'm just like tapping and I'm like Yo,
my brain. I think it just gave out. Anyway, that's

(36:51):
beside the point, because what we're talking about now is
so there was a few research study that just came
out that wanted to answer the question of, like just
how different Twitter users are from just a general United
States population and just to kind of see, like, is
Twitter actually even a like accurate depiction of what people
in the United States feel where they where they are demographically.
And they did this by taking a survey of about

(37:14):
almost twenty eight hundred United States adult Twitter users UM,
and then they also shared their handles so they could
use Twitter's API to kind of get some more information
about them UM. And they compared that with existing demographic
information they had, and the conclusion they came to Twitter
is a lot different than the United States. So Twitter

(37:34):
users are younger, they're more likely to identifies democrats, they're
more highly educated, and have higher incomes than US adults overall.
And they also said Twitter users also differ from the
broader population on some key social issues. For instance, Twitter
users are somewhat more likely to say that immigrants strengthen
rather than weaken the country, and to see evidence of
racial and gender based inequalities in society. And it also

(37:57):
seems too that the noisiest one are making the bulk
of the content that you see on Twitter, because about
ten percent of the most active users are responsible for
of the tweets created in the US. Yeah, so damn
this ten What you're seeing really like over and over
your feet is like around the ten percent of people
who are very prolific, and I think the top ten
percent and something comedians, Yeah, I know, I talked to

(38:21):
I'm a stand up. So I've seen over the years
now that what people get all worked up about on Twitter.
And then I'll go Bartend and Covena and I have
an open mic on Thursday night too, and I've just
know like they regular people have no idea what the
hell everyone's worked out exactly so that it doesn't try
And I mean I could see it on the same day,

(38:41):
So I know whatever everyone's worked out about online, specifically Twitter,
because people talk, they're more than Facebook and stuff that
if you even bring up a joke related to that,
you're gonna look like a moron. Yeah, and I think
most people, yeah, like it's most the most engaged people
tend to be on Twitter. Not that they're exclusively on Twitter,
but that's a trait that they have, and that vibes
with the New York Times report recently that was saying

(39:03):
that Democrats who don't post political content on social media
tend to be more moderate than people who are more
outspoken online, and they're also more likely to view political
correctness as a problem, less likely to join protests, and
less likely to donate to political organizations and less. Democrats
who are not on as outspoken online tend to fall
into that demographic. Old Democrats and even like even younger

(39:27):
people who I know who are like, you know, I
will vote Democratic, but aren't really engaged there the same
way where they're like oh really, Like you'll say something
and they're like, oh, that's going on. And so I
think that's all to say that, you know, we a
lot of the emphasis even the news puts on what's
going on Twitter is a little bit misplaced, because you know,
it's a very specific thing. So I think I think

(39:48):
a lot of the healthscape thing comes from people who
are surprised at the bad part of Twitter, you know
what I mean, like like, oh, there's so much more
racism than I thought in the world. That's surprising to me,
So of course you can extrapolate who would be surprised
by that sort of thing. So it's just one of
the things where it's like, I think people don't realize

(40:09):
that even though Twitter is a heck escape, let's say, like,
but the bad part of it, most of the is
overrepresented in the part of the population that's not on Twitter,
like all the ignorant ship that's much more pervasive in
the non Twitter part of you know, not by a lot,
but like a little bit. You know, it's that's surprising,

(40:32):
like that. That was the thing about two thousand sixteen.
I think for a lot of people that we might
know in places like Los Angeles, it's like a shocking number.
Then we're surprised by ship and you're like, oh, like
I'm from Michigan, right, Like it's like this always sure.
The reason it's funny because in that study, it's almost
like I don't post that much about politics, especially since

(40:55):
two thousand sixteen, because it was such a battlefield. I
don't post that much about politics because I do feel
like it is mostly other liberals and Democrats, especially people
right now, so why it just feels foolish to me
to be like just throwing my hat out there now,
I will. I have been crafting my coming up for
Elizabeth war and presidential nominee tweet. It's gonna launch at

(41:18):
some point next Friday tweet. I've been retweeting other people's
I think. Chris Cubis, a comic from Austin, wrote like,
I like what Elizabeth Warren has to say, and I
retweeted it. But yeah, that's one reason I don't. I
wouldn't post about political stuff. It's because it's for you.
Feel like I'm not offering anything to that conversation many people.

(41:41):
It's congested, everybody's saying the kind of same things about
that stuff. I don't. And also, like I said, two
thousand sixteen was a big lesson where I don't want
to be fighting with my friends. I have so many
people who I disliked because of two thousand and sixteen
now that if they weren't posting the way they were
on Twitter, uh, that I would think better of them.
I think the Internet. I mean, I'm very careful about

(42:03):
what I give the Internet, and I don't give them
too much of my real self. I write a lot
of jokes, but I just don't think these strangers don't
deserve my real thoughts or my heart or anything like that,
or even just in general, you don't want to You're
giving your power away in a certain extent by even
being candid in a certain to a certain level. On
the Internet. Yeah, absolutely, on a podcast, I'll talk about

(42:23):
my friends will talk about anything. But I just know
that there's I see the way people interact online and
it's like, you wouldn't say that to my face, and
so why are we doing this here? And so I
just in that way, And I know the Internet as
good for a lot of people who have never had
voices or anything like that, but I think in that
way it's pretty bad. So, especially with politics, I don't

(42:44):
want to interact if I felt like I was doing
some good. I'm a bartender in Covina, which is almost
the Midwest basically, so I'm talking to Latino guys about stuff,
you know all the time. You know, I'm talking about
politics there and when I'm talking to them face to face.
But I don't think it does much good On Twitter, sure, sure,
well more in Twitter news, Jack Dorsey, who looks like

(43:06):
Terran Lanister, who became a hipster with an adderall problem
uh showed up to the White House. Why does Jack
Dorsey always wear that motherfucking nose ring with his beard?
There's something whatever because because I will tell you why.
It's because he's the boring, whack white guy who thinks
it makes him interesting. Hey, he looks like hipster Tryan Lanister.

(43:27):
He kind of looks like Jordan Farmer too. I'm trying
to figure out who he looks like. He's got a
few different facial parallels, or like mikey Day doing a
character bit with a beard. I'm gonna nod. But what
you just said, that's fine, Peter Dinklage is what I'm saying.
You know, he's got it for sure. Like in the morning,
especially when he wants to go see Trump yesterday, he

(43:49):
had to like, well, you're smoothing out his hair looking
in the mirror, and he's like, Trump's not going to
know what to do. He's like, He's like, I look
like fucking Pete Wentz. But smart, I mean to me,
he's like all of San Francisco white guys, all the
tech bros, are like, it's so predictable, the type of
things they think make them more interesting. It's just like
these like they're imaginative in one domain. You think that

(44:12):
translates to other types of creativity, and it does for some,
but not everyone. Well, look and not this small. He
had to tweet splain some ship because the President summoned
him so he could get to the bottom of very
pressing issue for conservatives. Where the fund do my followers
keep going? Uh? And it was very was like what
is going on with my follower account? And he've calmly explained, Look,

(44:35):
we have a practice where we identify bought spam accounts
and we purged them from the platform because they're not
real fucking human beings. At best, it's just someone who's
not doing ship with it, or someone who's just trying
to create a bunch of accounts. At worst, it could
be someone like Russia who's just trying to signal boost
with these body accounts. There is that, And it turned

(44:56):
into thing like, yeah, well, you know a lot of
conservatives are they're concertainly the follow o accounts all over
the place, and I think that's where they're failing to
make the connection that a lot of these accounts are
following them to signal boost their ship to give some
credence or some semblance of legitimacy to what they're saying,
and like that real Americans are engaging with this stuff. Um,
and some are, but there's a lot that aren't. So

(45:17):
that was a pretty simple explanation. Just like so sad
to be like all these concerns. You know, all these
Conservators are followers. Counts always go down after there's a
bot purge. It must be a conspiracy, right, not not.
I'm like, I'm the team where the bot makers are
trying to support me, not like, oh my largely unpopular,
bankrupt philosophy needs to be propped up by bots. No, No,

(45:40):
it's not that it's anti conservative conspiracy man. Motherfucker's deep
state in me. I mean, I'm telling you, I say
it all the time. If these guys weren't in control
of the world, I think this would be the funniest
thing on the Dark Knight returns. You know the famous
Frank miller um graphic novel from the eighties. They make
President Reagan look like such a puppet in like an
a hole. And uh, I mean I just can't imagine

(46:02):
the stuff. You can't write it stuff Trump says and
comes up with the fact that he he called Jack
to his office to talk to him about this stuff
is the funniest stuff in the world. If he wasn't
ruling the free world. It made me think like if
you're just like if this were a bit you were writing, like,
if you were a president, what is your equivalent ridiculous
summoning to the Oval office you would do to abuse

(46:24):
your power? Yeah? I mean you see, like a king
Ralph CEO of Taco Bell, who just tell who what
business leader would you summon to change something about their
business for just your own personal CEO of Taco Bell,
would you sign enough breakfast ship at the Echo Park location,
even though you're potentially living at Pennsylvania Avenue, you're still

(46:46):
holding by brief people. Okay, I berieve back the CEO
of Movie Pass and just you know, let's get let's
fix things up around here. There was a real way
you didn't have to do do what you did. They've
just tanked the thing too. But even a two movie
a week thing, there's a lot of people who are
ready to get on board to pay twenty dollars. Even

(47:07):
so you're not even being like you need to explain yourself.
You're like, hey, let me help you out with this thing. Yeah,
we knew when movie pass happened at any movie every day,
we knew that this is an idea. It was literally
too good to be true. Yeah, we knew, and everybody
for those nine months that gold rush of movies was amazing,
was so fun. I saw Rampage late on a Tuesday

(47:27):
night at the Glendale Pacific Theater theater in America. You
like that theater? Oh yeah? Did I tell you about
my my one brand, the one in the Americana, Right, yeah,
here's the night. Marijuana, sujita, artists and noodles, a movie,
pie from pie Hole. That is that eight. And when

(47:55):
I say when I say a movie, the key is
that you've got so high and then so full. And
the game is you walk up to the movie theater
and you just have to see whatever movie is next.
This is the bullshit I don't like about Andrew. I know.
The events, the thing that he goes, oh, let's go
eat food around this event are things that I truly
love and care about. What the Dodger game last week

(48:16):
he texts me, He's like, Hey, let's go to the
Dodger game. It's gonna be great. I'm like, oh yeah,
I'm going once a year. At least once a year.
Besides opening, they have a nooner or one pm game,
and one Wednesday or Thursday everyone ditches work. I was
looking forward to this, he hit me up, and all
this guy gives a funk about is the food he
kept texting me about, like a hot dog stand that

(48:38):
it costs eleven dollars to get into. Yeah, that's that's
how much the tickets I paid for. So let's no,
that's not what I would talk. That's no movie pass
would be great. I'm willing to pay twenty dollars a month.
I mean, I don't know. Yeah, literally twenty or thirty dollars.
Movie pass has been around for years. I don't know
if you knew that, but I I subscribed a movie pass.
The most I paid was thirty bucks, and you could

(49:00):
see a movie only the same movie once and you
can see a movie every twenty four hours. So I
paid thirty bucks as much as thirty three years ago.
I'll see you a movie pass, hipster. Huh, everybody else.
I have a friend Joel mandel Corn, who does produce
a lot of stuff, produces hot tup. He went up
to forty with and it was everything except for arc

(49:21):
Light and it's the same thing. You can go see whatever, Yeah,
but you can only see it once. There was like rules, Yeah,
it's okay. Why is there a rule that you can't
see the same movie more than once? Um? I because
they're trying to limit the amount of movies. You see.
The reason why movie Pass fell apart, why I had
to let it go, is they would black out everything
except for like this, this one movie, and then they

(49:44):
took away that time. It just got so spotty. Give
me some real basic rules, like you can see two
movies a week or one movie a week. Bucks, I'm
still saving money. So yes, that's what I would. I
would bring the CEO for Movie Pass and work that
out me personally. I would demand that mcd Donalds begin
refrying everything in beef tallow. Oh yeah, that's what I want.
I've heard about. Sorry, sorry vegans, you know what I mean.

(50:07):
But look, your your time is you will inherit the
earth when all of us omnivores, after we've destroyed it,
after we've destroyed it, and after we've there's no there's
nothing left. Sorry, but I'm trying to look, I do
meet this Monday's. Oh yeah, sometimes, um, I do I
try to, I want to. I mean vegan food, you know.
I actually once a week we usually get the impossible

(50:27):
burger I eat. I only eat the impossible burger. Now,
oh yeah, I think if you're going to have a
fast food burger, it's actually a little just get and
you can afford it, and it doesn't really like taste
like meat anyway, like even the fast food meat tastes meat.
Just do them possible anyway, just to keep it moving. Wait,
real quick clicking tip though. Also if you're making chili,
get the whatever the vegan burgers are, because you can't

(50:49):
tell the difference between that and yeah. Yeah, yeah, there
you go. Um. Now, just one other thing, just because
the president's insecurity is not only around Twitter, but even
his election are putting yeah, the country at risk. Um.
There was a report in the New York Times that
you know, things are really fucked up, especially at DHS
where Kirstin Nielsen a k A. Wright stock Barbie just

(51:10):
took off and we found out that you know, she
was becoming concerned about Russia's you know, election meddling, especially
with the mid terms. Yeah, and right as there were
many people in the intelligence community, and she tried to
bring it up a few different times, but in a meeting,
Mick mulvaney, the acting White House Chief of Staff, basically said,

(51:31):
do not bring this up around him at all. This
is this is a quote, wasn't a great subject and
should be kept below his level because he does any
talk about election meddling triggers his uh you know, fear
that people are going to suggest that it delegitimizes his presidency,
which it does because from what we've seen, he was
the only person to benefit from this meddling, So of

(51:53):
course he doesn't want to hear about it. Um. Part
of me also, it's a little bit weary of this
story because it sounds like the story is you're trying
to come out to paint Kirsten Nielsen as somewhere other
than the person who was behind the family separation policy
and should never be allowed to walk in public again. Um.
But hey, I guess the news is news. Um, so

(52:14):
just you know that's the state of our election security, because,
as everyone suggests to it's gonna be hold onto your
butts one more time because the bots will be coming.
Put onto your bots. I should say um. And also
don't forget come on man um. And then also John
Bolton last year he eliminated the position of cybersecurity coordinator
at the White House, so you know, not not a priority.

(52:36):
So again hold onto your butts. And one last thing
about the Trump uh stuff, just to get one more
point in the Trump start shake hit the Trump the
Trump ship. Uh. You know, as he's investigations heat up,
he was on Twitter just I don't even know he
was having he had had it and was just going

(52:57):
on about all kinds of ship. He's fighting every poena
that is coming his way. He's telling people in his
administration to do the same thing because it's time for
there to be some accountability and they realize some of
this ship isn't gonna hold up in the light of day. Um.
The reason one of the tweets that really sticks out
is him saying, if the partisan DEM's ever tried to impeach,
I would first head to the U. S. Supreme Court.

(53:18):
Not only are there no high crimes and misdemeanors, there
are no crimes by me at all. Okay, I get
that you've had pretty successful run by basically defaulting too
or your plan be always being like, let's just take
this to the Supreme Court. I've stacked it with enough
conservatives and then the decision will come out on my side. There. Unfortunately,
my man, you should have read a fucking civics book,

(53:38):
because the Supreme Court wouldn't even touch this ship. Because again,
the House has sole power over impeachment and the Senate
has the power to try all impeachments, and if there
were a trial in the Senate, Chief Justice John Roberts
would be presiding over it. Even in a world where
if every Supreme Court justice was a conservative one, they know,
it's just not constitutionally the it's not a thing they

(54:00):
can do. It's just like, I'm sorry, this is a
political event, so we can't hop in here. So again,
he's coming up with things. He's swing everything at the
wall at this point. But I think that's the thing.
It's like his like, you know, third grade understanding of
president equals king Um has held up more than the constitution. Yeah,

(54:22):
is the thing so far. So I don't know. Maybe
he's right. Yeah, we'll see. I gotta try everything. Yeah,
all right, so let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back, all right, And we're back in a few
quick stories. I just want to shout out Netflix a

(54:44):
debt flicks because they just said they're throwing two billion
more dollars on the debt pile, you know, for stuff,
for more content acquisition and things like that. Um. We
knew that they've just been you know, deficit spending, uh
for the last few years. But what I did not
know was what the pay was like for the top
people at Netflix. And it will make your eyes water,

(55:04):
if not flood compensation. In CEO Read Hastings eighteen collected
thirty six point one million dollars in salary, bonus and
stock awards, up from twenty four million in seventeen. My
man made sixty million in the last two years just

(55:26):
for losing twelve billion dollars. Yeah, it's all. That's all good.
It's the biggest thing ever. Also, Chief Content Officer Ted
Sarandos made twenty nine point six million, up from twenty
two point four million, so you know, he didn't have
as good a year as the CEO, but you know
he's doing his thing. What's what's Netflix is endgame. I
think it's probably just to become so big that someone

(55:49):
like an Apple or someone just buys them to be
like now we're the captain now, but aren't they too
big for that? We don't know. That's where I don't
know what they're I think a lot of people are
trying to figure out what their endgame is because they're spending.
They're spending money like it's going on. The end game
is we cornered the market going into death? As that
spending a corner of the market, then they just have

(56:09):
everyone forever, right, if it's the only way to get entertainment,
which is their goal. But yeah, that's not going to
be I mean this the Disney Yeah, but yeah, but still,
I mean whoever's giving them this money? Yeah, they're not
going to get There's still shareholders. They're still shareholders who
are like, as good, what do we doing here? No,

(56:29):
it's like two pyramid schemes. It's great. It's like the
pyramid scheme of the content and the pyramid scheme of
the actual money. Fucking hell yeah, Netflix, by Steve's Comedy
Special when he has it, Yeah, by Everyone's comedy Special.
I mean we should fuck it, man, Netflix. How we
redistribute what is this racist and daily segeist as our
own show? Every day We'll do it every day. Just
give us that Netflix check. But I will not take

(56:51):
less money than Beyonce. Just so you know. Now, one
last thing and I just want to move on to
Operation Varsity Blues. The Aunt Becky saga The Song of
White Privilege and Ice by George R. Martin. Um. Are
you saying that Aunt Becky's pleading not guilty? I'm Becky's
pleading not guilty. So you know, so she had a
plea deal. They said, hey, take this plea deal, and

(57:12):
she's like, I'm not going to jail, so no. And
then they're like, okay, so now if you want to
go to trial, you're looking at twenty years are you
Are you built for that? You can you do two dimes? Uh?
And it seems like it's stressing her a little bit out.
But the thing that the only reason I bring this
up now is that TMZ has some of the legal
t okay, and her legal defense is fucking iron clad.

(57:36):
Our sources say lawyers for Lori Laughlin and Massimo miss
shout out to Massimo nineties Brand didn't take a plea
early on because they believe they had a solid defense
on several funds. First ringleader Rick Singer, the person who
they're giving money to, did not tell them how he
would use the five thousand dollars to get their daughters
into school. Fact, they were aware Singer did want picks
of the girls on a rowing machine, but they say

(57:58):
that doesn't mean they knew what the end game was.
So essentially their defense, uh is reminds me a little
bit about a famous Dave Chappelle joke, and it goes
like this, sorry, I didn't know I couldn't do that.
They're doing the I didn't know I couldn't do that defense,

(58:18):
and they were like, well, other people pay to build
buildings and stuff. And I think that's maybe the weird
logic they're applying here that honestly, that was I mean,
to be fair, there is a payola way to get in,
so it's wild that you would. I know this is
not a new take, but you're fucking kidding me. You
had that money and you elected to spend it this

(58:38):
way to try to get your dump hid into You
gotta school, you gotta spend you know, seven figures they
tried to take. You're saying that the broke boy they
got they tried to get in the matinee showing they
didn't come out on they didn't do the midnight showing
that they bought eBay tickets off of three times the price.
I just I mean, look, maybe this is more of
an East Coast thing, and these are West Coast people

(59:00):
book like every every East Like. You know, when I
went to college, I didn't realize that I went to
Columbia and that was a lot of rich kids safety school, right,
that's like and these kids dumbest ship. Yeah, exactly. And
it was like I was like, oh, they just went
to a prep school where the uh like the head
of admissions at Columbia also went to that prep school

(59:23):
and these kids got in the dumbest people on earth truly,
and I'm like, yeah, it doesn't matter. And that couldn't
have cost more than five dollars. It's ridiculous. Well, look,
the sad thing just about there, I didn't know I
couldn't do that defense is Unfortunately Massimo he paid a
hundred thousand dollars directly to the assistant athletic director USC,
so I don't know how he's in feign ignorance on

(59:44):
that one. He was like, no, it was a bet
we had whether or not my daughter would get into USC.
That's that's a good spin. I just don't did, I
do not overestimate the ability of white people to get
off of being convicted of things, well, especially the in general.
You know. That's what I'm saying. If there's some way
they could figure out a thing where they get a

(01:00:04):
slap on the wrist, I'm sure it's going to happen. Yeah,
I am not. Well, the prosecutors, Becky's not going to jail.
The prosecutors are very clear because uh Felicity Huff's going
to Joel Yeah, because she did the plea right, Yeah,
but but she was gonna get it. She's getting jail
either way because they said even in the plea, the
prosecutors like, there will be jail. I'm not trying to
go light on it. And this is so great. Yeah,

(01:00:26):
so hey, we'll see what happens. Should I shouldn't having
your kid go to USTv punishment a lot? Yeah, we're
out here, you out here. You know, I was thinking
about a trojan. They only last one time. Call it
back dropped the bomb. Yeah yeah, building like this has
gone full l a local. Yeah, we're university's second choice

(01:00:49):
and university for spoiled children. You feel me is the joke?
Then that you go more than one time? Yeah, you
go two times. I reused condoms over and that's the joke.
I haven't bragged about going more than one time in
a long time. Just make that one time count. I
leave it on the mat. It's a lot of it's

(01:01:10):
a lot of sighing and saying this has never happened. Yeah,
that's the Matt, that's the mat. How we do it? Yeah,
I got my g E D and E D. Alright,

a child. And that's attributed to John Waters r I p. King.
I actually even looked I was so stupid that I
even looked up if John Waters died, and of course
he didn't. Yeah, but Yeah, I love that tweet he
has put uh he did. He's done a couple of

(01:02:55):
Lena down the tweets that I want to get made
into T shirts that I mean, I just love him. Yeah.
One of my favorites is even when he came on
the show the first time I told him. I was
like the first one of your first tweets I saw,
and I was like, we gotta have you on with
him standing in front of this house and he had
like kind of rubbing his mits and he's like I
had to do it to him, like he's about the
mansion in the parentheses, I robbed this house. Um, Andrew,

where can people find you? Will follow you? You know?
You know is this racist? Uh? Andrew t last name
is spelled t. I uh? And what's tweets you been
liking sometime? I'm left at London. She's a woman who
I think does like song like recreation type ship. But
basically it's it's a video on Twitter called how to
make a Tyler the Creator song that is hill. Oh yeah,

(01:03:44):
someone on the Zeke Gang put me onto that very
shot out to you and and Tyler the Creator retweeted
it and so it's very good. But It's also I
like when people break down music because I'm not very musical,
but like I have, I have a composer friends, I
will just be like, oh, this is just that song
or that this. Yeah, I'm like there's another one too
that was like viral years ago when someone has been like,

unbelievably good. It's just like looping and that guy that
things like this anyway. Uh. You can find me on

like from Dan Gurwitch very funny writer Tim Robinson. He's
got a new sketch comedy show coming out called I
Think You Should Leave and Dan grow, which is pointing

(01:04:28):
to a review of this uh sketch comedy show. Uh.
Dan writes, cannot stop laughing at this review of I
Think You Should Leave Tim Robinson's incredibly funny sketch show,
where the reviewers problem with this show is the literal
definition of sketch comedy. He writes. We get the fact
that Robinson has an overall theme in mind with his sketches.
He wants to show situations of discomfort or embarrassment, but

(01:04:48):
the problem is those moments are often projected out to
the point of absurdity. I'm sorry, my man, what I
guess it was too much, too much irony and absurdity
for this person for it to be you. Uh yeah,
