Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one seventy two,
Episode two of The Daily See guyst the production of

a deep dive into America's share consciousness. It is Wednesday,
February seventeen. My name is Jack O'Brien, a k Where
do dad jokes come with pale fives? They don't go

(00:22):
to rogue un or those crookid guys. It's tea easy
with Jack O'Brien. Here, I'm with Miles on the Daily

Crispy Chicken, famous bos, like to shoot the Coleslaw, Famous Bulls,
gravy shredded, Jesus shredded, Jesus Christie. I'm a Gucci man.

(01:12):
You know we're by La most with Enrique in here,
and then you make it to famous Bulls and the
detail about me watching people sip the Coleslaw juice from
the parking lot. You did it all, my man. Thank
you for that one. I'm still not recovered from that,
from that visual that dish sipping the slaw, shooting the slaw.

(01:33):
Just I mean, it's because you get the big the
big court one, like the family side side at KFC,
because that's the only way you're getting enough juice. That's
what I's people who who sip they get this one
and then they cracked the lid just enough so the
slow didn't get out let all the row, do you

(01:56):
And there's a whole bunch of families out there who
think that can't see as dry slaw And the truth
is that whoever was picking up was just shooting it,
sipping him. Um well, Miles, we are thrilled, fortunate, lucky
to be joined by the hilarious, the talented Blair Sucky.

(02:17):
Oh what the daily Zi Yeah, God, that's so good
to be back. It's like an exhale and guys, Fellas,
I'm gonna tell you never I've been more hyped by
an opening both of holes in absolutely knock my freacking

(02:38):
socks off. You know, you're the bruin that everybody should
have been doing. U And thank you for coming to
the show and it's nice to see you. You guys
team U c l A U c l A Gang
Brewing Gang. I mean Blair graduated a few years after me,
as we found out, Uh, definitely not this definitely not

(02:59):
contemporary is as I did some like number crunching. Blair
is nineteen years old. And it's so crazy that you
seem to be a bit surprised to find out that
I graduated. And it was because you're making all the
same generational references. I felt like we were talking about
the same professors. But you know what, it's just these

(03:21):
people have just been there for a long time. Yeah,
I just studied up. You know, how are your You
got the blue blockers on the yellow blue light black,
Like I thought it was a bit because I said, oh,
you have classy super vibes and I'm loving it, Like
you're you're protecting your eyes. Yeah my eyes are tired
comment as girls with my whole general aura of being

(03:44):
a sleepy girl. Um, but yeah I need some protection
so um. Yeah. Lots of people ruthlessly make fun of me, um,
like my friend Rosebud for wearing these, but you know
here I am. I mean, look, you're doing what you got,
You're protecting yourself. Yeah, shout out the Rosebud's jealous, you know,

(04:05):
because your eyes are going to be so healthy and
hers are gonna be so strained. I know she's really
really overcome with jealousy about that's what she will be
when she's blind. Yeah, that's me being support mother's jealous. Yeah.
This conversation is identical to the conversation I had last

(04:27):
night with my wife. She wore her blue blocker blue
light blocking glasses to bed for the first time, and
I was, Uh, they're not They're actually like pretty see through.
I thought she was coming from the gun range because
they kind of looked like those uh those like clear
sea through glasses that people are supposed to wear. Yeah, wait,

(04:53):
you wear them to bed, like to sleep with them on.
You're just saying, like, I just like when she's doing
a light browse y, Yeah, why can't they just put
it into our screen so we don't have to wear glasses?
You know what I'm saying. There is an app that's
like called Flux, I think, or they're used to be.
This was like years ago, and you're it just makes
your whole screen look or it definitely Flux because this

(05:15):
is when her majesty worked at cracked and came back
like you don't have flux on your thing. I'm like,
what is flux sucking your eyes up? I'm like, Okay,
they're fucked already. But thank you. Alright, Blair, we are
going to get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
couple of the things we're talking about today, such as

(05:37):
and uh, the yeah Trump got acquitted again, the GOP
showing everyone who they are, and the Democrats are uh
you know, still being like all right, guys, come on,
what's going on now? Use human emotions to shame them,
and uh that doesn't work. We're gonna talk about possible

(05:59):
crim the lawsuits. There's not much on that as of yet,
but uh, you know, criminal lawsuits against Trump might be,
might have a future. Uh. We are going to talk
about there's a good mystery on the COVID front. Cases
are suddenly dropping in India. So as I was looking
into that, I also noticed that, like when they say

(06:20):
that cases were spiking in India, before it was like
still under one person per one hundred thousand. It was
like so low. So then I started digging into like
why are cases like why why was it all Asian countries?
And like Eastern countries so much better uh than the
West at controlling COVID. I still so two COVID mysteries

(06:44):
for US. Um, and we'll talk about Texas, which is
another example of just uh, you know, catastrophic global failure
by a western uh United States government to prepare for
a slow motion disaster. All of that plenty more. But first, Blair,
we like to ask our guests, Oh, by the way,

(07:07):
we will hopefully get to the gorilla glue challenge uh
and and tell you why you you probably shouldn't partake,
but you know, I mean, look if if you think
you're brave, maybe but you're But first Blair, we like
to ask our guests, what is something from your search

(07:29):
history that is revealing about who you are? Um? For
once it wasn't something so damning. The top was just
yellow velvet pillow, So just do if that what you will?
You're decorating, you know, my apartment keeps becoming progressively brighter

(07:54):
and brighter everywhere. Um, he's trying to look like fucking
lollipop Land. I don't know, really trying to like I
just I'm like, I need to create my own bright
world inside these walls. You know, you got yellow tinted glasses,
so all velvet pillows are gonna be a little yellow

(08:17):
for you right now. Um, save money, just get white pillows.
Put those glasses on. Whoa, this is how you have
friends to j no. I tried doing that. Her majesty
did a lot like when I was offering that as

(08:38):
a solution for things. Oh, we'll just put on different
colored glasses. Now it looks like how we want it. Okay.
I will say a little bit of a silver lining
lately is that it's no longer getting dark at like
five and so you I find myself going outside every
once in a while. Uh and the sky looks like

(09:00):
a like a unicorn frap from uh Man, I missed
the starbucksrap just came out of nowhere for me. I
love it. Yeah, I don't know what you're supposed to
freeze those when you buy him at the store. Wait, really,
I saw some TikTok you know how TikTok. You'd be like, oh,
I'm just gonna funk your what up? And I was like, yeah,
do your worst what those glass frappuccino pre made ships

(09:24):
you buy at the store, like you freeze them like
just a little bit before it becomes and then you
just spin it around and then you got a frap
And I was like, damn, I'm I didn't even think
about that that. Let me tell me that anyway. Yeah,
um yeah, just brightening, brightening your environment. That's like one thing.

(09:50):
That's the next level up of like actually doing something.
Uh that like I can't get to my my desk
is a complete dis master of like old gum. And
if these desks could talk, chack you both you and mind.
You're doing great. I mean you're listening is goddamn podcast

(10:11):
for the entire nation every day. I think you're really
showing up hard. Who cares about a wrapper on your desk?
A little bitch rapper the most color I have his
bottle of Aceta medal fin and uh some old tried
to yellow tried so man aceto medal fin, which by
the way, I don't think I've ever pronounced fully. Um,

(10:35):
it's really gorgeous and all right, it's a little blue
and red. They had to up the game a little bit,
uh to evoke Thailand all with the Kirkland brand signature.
What is it? Kan Ace tammy no fin all right,

(10:56):
well that's I was taught to break it up in
a manageable hen. I cannot even believe the amount of
the audience has been educated already in these first five
wild You're welcome, and that's a free education. The only
reason I know that is a White Stripe song where

(11:20):
he sings see the mean you've seen the medicine. Yeah, yeah,
some kind of genius. What is something, Blair that you
think is underrated? Um? Okay, so are so fucking good.
I cannot even believe like we as a nation and

(11:43):
not talking about them every day. They are the perfect chip.
I'm sure they are, you know, almost entirely made up
of chemicals, but they are the perfect chemicals. They are
my chemicals. And the sack chips in that messless cylindrical
container heavy. I'll put down two canisters on a writing deadline,

(12:04):
no problem, won't even know what happened, blackout, put down
another style of cream and on you and go back
for a nacho cheese. Pringles are incredible, Pringles, said Bugles. No, No, Pringles,
ba oh man, Pringles. I mean there's something about it,

(12:25):
because you know it's a bunch of potatoes that they
reformed into chip shape right with the flower. I feel
like it's like a part pasta part. I don't know,
it's it's got I feel like there's a pasta nous
about it where it breaks down like pasta does a
little bit in your mouth. Past not the first word

(12:46):
that comes to mind. Definitely, not so I kind of
get where you're going, you know, but you know, like,
do you feel like it's like part of flowery thing,
like there's potato and flour mixture or is that just me?
I don't know. I think they're so light an airy
that my mind doesn't go to potato again. I feel

(13:08):
like they're purely artificial, but in a way it works
in just gorgeousness. And the thing is like people don't
talk about them enough, but they're exquisite, timely and you
can all timeless and you can always count on them. Yeah. Yeah,
they are probably among the most consistent snack foods. I

(13:30):
still remember their commercial that had the Papa Moles pile
and like it was like on the beach, and then
I remember the way they were shading normal chips. Was
a dude who was reaching in a bag of lais
and he had like the just wild grease hand and
got just turned his beech shirt translucent from all the
grease from eating a bag of chips. And they say

(13:52):
greasy not funh And I was like, yo, okay, I
remember those Those are genius. And it was like, once
you pop, you just can't stop. Or is that a
different commercial. Well, I think it's once you pop the
fun don't stop. That's where greasy not fun. I mean, look,
maybe my brain was rotted by nineties marketing and that's
all I know, but I do know that to be true.

(14:14):
But once you pop, you can't stop. Was also a
era of pringles marketing. Right of someone? I think another one? Right,
wasn't it enough? Wasn't it corn? No corn pops? I
gotta have my pops? Oh yeah, well, geez you incredible
recall Miles, I think, dude, because that had used to
have the Jaws theme song on the commercials. I used

(14:36):
to suck me up with corn pops because we dud
And I was like, oh funk, bro was going. Because
I had an irrational fear of sharks from Jaws, I
would never sleep. I would never swim in a pool
at night because I couldn't see the ship. Uh, so
you know, I'm working through my own ship with my therapist.
I remember when I went to Universal Studios and I

(14:56):
took that tour ride and Jaws came out. I was
like seven, all right, was so shocked full started crying.
I was like, what the hell was that someone thought
that was appropriate? Just to stop while the killer shark
that's like four times his eyes as the person jumps
out at me, you started crying, or the tour guide

(15:17):
me maybe cry baby everything every time. Um Pringles did
have a once you stop you, once you pop, you
can't stop slogan in the nineties, which is right when
junk food was becoming like engineered to be so addictive

(15:39):
that we had a national obesity epidemics. So there's like
some truth in advertising there where, uh they kind of
get at the the addictiveness of of their own products
but make it fun. Ad um. Yeah, if I have
one chip, I'm putting down two full tennis ball containers. Yeah. Yeah.

(16:00):
That that I think is one of the most brilliant
things about it is the container because that makes sense
you can't make sense of what you're eating. Yeah, and
it's also so consistent. It's always that just straight up
and down stack of chips so cleanly too, and you
don't have to worry about them getting smashed in your
backpack on the way to the beach. Yeah, Kringles are
the one chip that I feel like it's appropriate to

(16:24):
eat at the beach. It's like the snack food of
the beach. For no reason other than they did that
a lot in their commercials. Yeah, I think it's but
for whatever reason, I think because there's a lid, you're
like take that sand versus like folding over the top
of the back. There's also a crushed chips so easily accidentally,
they're so delicate with Kringles. Holler at, let's just drop

(16:45):
the bag off at Blair's house. Do you know what
time it is? Or the cylindrical can? Yeah or that whichever. Yeah,
we'll take our money in that. More cans than fucking
Shredder and Ninja turtles. Also, uh, Brad Pitt. Probably the
first time you saw Brad Pitt was in a Pringle's ad.
He was in a very early Pringles at at the

(17:07):
beach crushing some Pringles. Really, what is something you think
is overrated? Blair? Wait? Oh yeah, I didn't do that one. Okay,
I want to say, what's you know what is overrated?
Um Jack and Miles, Okay, yeah, it's the word normalized.

(17:27):
Oh god, it's right up there with adulting now, folks. Next.
My skin crawl when I hear the word normalized. I
just want to stop the day right there and go
back to bed. Normalized. Nope, I'm done, good night, see
you tomorrow. I hope to begin a new day then. Yeah,
super normalization. Man, what are like, what are the headlines

(17:50):
you read that are using over using it? Just you know,
the internet is unmatched capacity to make you hate stuff. Um.
I I expend a lot of energy like trying not
to be poisoned by that. It's cancer of like making
you knee your cake stuff. But when you just like

(18:10):
mindlessly absorb it over and over every it was like normalized, normalized, normalize,
And I'm like, I can't read this fucking word one
more time. If you're putting it in your tweets, its garbage.
M hm. So yeah, that's waiting, like my tweet don't
normalize white supremacy. And I'm just you know, just stweet.

(18:34):
I just want to I just want to do A
and B. Columal was like if I saw that tweet,
definitely would have went with something else, would have made
another choice. I think. Yeah, just normalized just means like
is whack, don't make this thing acknowledge that this is bullshit.

(18:56):
Rather than don't normalize it, just say we all know
this is a ship and we need to be arms
locked together and acknowledging this whatever topic industry is horseshit. Yeah,
it's just you know how some like internet words get you, um, like, yeah,
when I hear adult adult ing, like I my body

(19:18):
really turns to a child. Yeah. Yeah, you get one
of those hats with the little propeller top on grows
out of your head. I'm a kid. I'm never getting
invited back on this podcast. You're you're coming back no
matter what. Uh. The one thing I hear a lot though,
is like my one friend said he hates lean into.

(19:40):
Oh that's the other one. Like that was the equivalent
of him being like, you know what I hear to damn,
Oh my god, Okay, leaning in, But sometimes I don't
know how to do it, Like, if you're talking about
a bit, you gotta lean into a bit. I don't
know any other way to make that expression. I guess
over inculged. Yeah, it's too wordy, too many syllables, steer

(20:04):
into the spin. Uh that's another version of that. I
just saw aviation extra old. I just thought of a
little um addendum. Also, um um also overrated loud cars
and motorcycles. So that's mostly what I spend my time

(20:25):
on Internet campaigning against um. Very troubled men pay to
make their cars loud and then you know, just make
a whole show careening down the street. And I really
really don't like them, and I think they have little
baby dogs. There's a there's a there's tension in my
neighborhood with loud exhaust at the moment someone's got they

(20:50):
have a remote start car and the pipes on here.
When I say they're, they're these pipes are louder than
a whiz Khalifa's house. Because the ships, I get, they
they freaked the funk out of me because out of
nowhere's like and I'm like, oh fuck, But you know,
I get it, like you know, people want to have
their gear head life. But at a certain point, I'm like,

(21:12):
isn't there like can't you put like a manner mode
on where you're like let me, let me start this
like keep it low key till I get out of
my neighborhood where there might be sleeping people or babies,
and then turn it up or whatever. But I know,
I hate being like an old man, like a nine
year old man about it. But I guess I don't know.
I am one of the unfortunately a highly sensitive person.

(21:35):
It really gets in my nervous system really nice. Is
it traffic like by your place that gets you? Or
just whenever you're is it just because or you for you?
You're about tranquility? Turn everything yellow, the yellow sunglasses yellow?
You know what it is is? I spend like an
hour or two walking outside a day just for my

(21:56):
health in the pandemic being inside, and it'll always be
like right at the moment I'm on the phone with
my grandma or something, and and then like literally the
whole the whole call gets just black out. But some
fucking asshole I gotta make up for the pain inside

(22:20):
the Yeah, I wonder if he's also trying to catch
your attention, you know, being like checking me out. Having
a wild Car's never crossed my mind. I wear a
giant mom buiser for sun protection. Nice. Also, you and
my wife should hang out. She's doing the same thing,

(22:41):
hang out and talk about some protection waving waving her
fist angrily at loud cars that passed by. Yeah, no,
you know, I don't even do that. I don't react
at all. I just silently die a little bit. Yeah.
Once I heard that the I forget which muscle car was,
but one of them may be all the like Mustang

(23:01):
and Charger and all those cars. When I heard that
they had like basically a little speaker in their muffler
that was like creating the ror noise, it totally made
me look at that, like it's just synthetic at this point,
because you just don't need Like the cars are sophisticated

(23:22):
enough that they don't need to do that anymore. But
they're like still just to like give whatever that urges
a place to play. They're they're creating their like playing
a sound of an old motor essentially. Yeah, and but
then it will play it into your speakers in the
car though, two to give you the sense that your

(23:44):
car is that loud outwardly. Yeah, it's just I am
absolutely sickened. Yeah, but I get, you know, like at
a certain point, it's like I remember, you know, as
a kid, you i'd ride a bike, you could hear
a car behind you or something, you know what I mean.
And I think as it gets quieter because now in
the advent of like hybrids and stuff, and I ride

(24:06):
my bike a lot more now, like I get hybrid
sneak up on me pretty easily, but not to the
point where it's everyone's safe. But I'm always like, oh,
there's a difference sonically in the environment where like I
used to hear Old Oscar but yeah, it's more of
a it's like a high pitched wine of like whatever
is cooling the computer off is like the never like

(24:27):
a slow start, though it's always violent, like they are
got slam it on real hard, like everyone look at
me while I make you mad, and you know yeah,
or people on like motorcyle I get sometimes on motorcycles,
like they'll rev to like get people's attention. Because sometimes
people are like but then there are other people who

(24:47):
are just like especially when you're gonna overpass, which is
a concrete sound chamber, and someone's like, I'm gonna turn
it up in here, and you're like, don't, You're gonna
funk everything up, and it's just too much too much. Yeah,
that is the thing that Harley's I guess are one
of the safest motorcycles because they're so loud. And one
of the big problems with motorcycles on the road as

(25:11):
like drivers of cars just like don't register them because
they're not like looking for that sized vehicle. And our
brains are stupid computers that are like programmed for very
few things. And so people that's like, we need those speakers. Actually, yeah,
hit them. Okay, we'll admit I've never I've heard that before.

(25:33):
And I just crossed the aisle to the other to
understand a little bit more about my foes and my
my nemesies, my enemies, and now I'll know a little
bit more about their motorcycle culture trying to keep themselves
safe the trucks. Still no excuse, but thank you for

(25:54):
educating me a bit exactly. If you've got a two
thousand two act legend, are a ninety two act legend
with the wild asthma. Come on, now, we understand, we
understand what you're trying to do. But it's okay. Nobody's
judging you on how loud you can yell for your
parents to come back. Yeah, I was just thinking of

(26:14):
like things they could add to the like in addition
to the motor hume, like something like unapproving, like, uh,
you're from from your dad. I really didn't. I really
did go to get cigarettes. And I think just kind
of got complicated all the way there. I will all right,

(26:39):
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back and uh yeah, another impeachment, another acquittal.
You know, well, well vindic Asian, thank you. He was,

(27:03):
he was right all along, right, exactly vindicated. So forty
three GOP senators voted to a quit Trump over the weekend,
which nobody was surprised by. But the fact that Democrats
are still treating the Republicans the way they did like

(27:24):
in the eighties and nineties, eighties, Yeah, well in eighteen eighties,
I feel like they used to uh like beat each
other on the floor of the of Congress. I feel
like they could bring that back maybe, but yeah, it's
just a it's just a mess in there. Yeah, and
it's it's I think that's what's really tough, right is
because from you know, the second we were fully in

(27:47):
the Trump era, we're like, oh, yeah, this isn't this
is another thing. This is like the borg has take
like white supremacy borg has taken over. And it's like
there's no there's doesn't be any rhyme or reason to it.
It's like we're just gonna get in the way or
try and dismantle anything that was it will create any
kind of forward movement or progress. And yeah, like the

(28:07):
Democrats really been like it's such a shame, you know
what these people like. It's it's really it's really unsettling
that they'll do this. It's like, but you knew what
was going on. This has been the case, and they
still want to do this thing of like, well, they
weren't always like this. It's like, yes they were, but
you're just at a level where the discourse has come

(28:29):
to a point where there's no there is no thing
to hide for the hide behind. For the Republicans, they
used to be like, it's not about racism, it's about
this thing. It's not about limiting the rights of LGBTQ people.
It's about this thing. Now it's just fully like fuck you,
I don't care he's guilty, but we're not gonna do
ship because that's the side we're on, and you must
be out your fucking head. If you think we're gonna
vote against that, come the funck on, is what they

(28:51):
just said over the weekend. And so now I'm like,
please Democrats, they've read there. There is no there is literally,
I mean, people have been begging for a deck over
a decade decades now to just destroy the filibuster at
this point, but now you really there's no reason at
all to engage these people like they have any kind
of good for their any sort of good faith actor

(29:12):
about anything they say. They're not. They're spending all their
time right now in state legislatures trying to you know,
like examine the genitals of of of female athletes because
they're suspicious of like trans kids competing, or trying to
change the laws around voting. There it's a full court
press of factory like outside of d C. And they

(29:34):
if you're not going to acknowledge and be like, okay,
well now we need to go from nine Barry bonds
to two thousands, six very bonds, where my head is
gigantic because I see the game is changing. That's what
we need because this the game is different. And they're
still trying to be like, well, maybe we can beat
them fair, fair Son beat them fair. And it's not

(29:54):
to say that ending the filibuster is unfair. It's just
this really fucking outdated drill mechanism that acts as a
kill switch for any kind of policy. The minority, which
is always the Republicans in this case, or even they're
in the majority, but the they will always use that
as a kill switch for any kind of progress because
what that means is by saying that by using the filibuster,

(30:17):
that means it will take seven or sixty votes to
advance any legislation to the President's desk, rather than a
simple majority, which is what most people think. It's like, oh,
the Democrats have a majority, or there's like Kamala Harris
can be the tie breaking vote. Now all this other
stuff can happen. But with the filibuster there, that allows
them to keep debate open for fucking ever. And there's

(30:40):
a lot of things to where like Mitch McConnell, he's like, well,
we're character rid of the Philippus. It's good for bi
part of it. It's not good for it's that's bullshit.
That's just there to pretend that it's there for bipartiship.
The reason he doesn't use it, or like the times
where he will eliminate the filibuster is when he has
to get Supreme Court nominees confirmed. That's when he'll that's

(31:01):
when he'll be like, no, just a majority, now, just
a majority. We're not allowing that now because I gotta
get this goon through. Or like the other thing is
they have a loophole to where they don't need like
there's no threat of the filibuster when it comes to
certain things like tax bills or spending because they can
do that under budget reconciliation, which is another process that
just requires fifty votes. So it's like a loophole where

(31:22):
they don't they'll say we needed or whatever. But they're
always getting away with ship and that the ship that
they use it for civil rights filibustered, the funk out,
gun control, fillerbustered, the funk out the Dream Act when
that ship could have gone through filibustered. So this is
like what you know, we're saying that they have all
these ways to undermine progress and we're still allowing We're

(31:46):
still putting those tools on the table for them, acting
as if they're gonna be like, Okay, well come on,
you do think a forgiving student debt or a student
loan debt is going to be good? Right? Well, I
guess not if you can't get sixty of us, you
know what I mean. That's where it gets so fucking
messy and you just want to be like, okay, come
on Democrats, yeahs is it? Probably? Like who is in

(32:08):
favor of ending the filibuster? I feel like I've seen
a lot of people who aren't Nancy Pelosi and Chuck
Schumer like come out in favor of it, but like
what where are I mean you'll see like John Tester
or like Kristen Cinema, these like you know, these fucking
noodle spined Democrats senators who are like, well, you don't know, well,

(32:31):
if we do that, then my part, it just ensures
minority rule, you know what I mean. Like there's no
and there's nothing sacred about it, Like it's been altered
taken away many times throughout the course of the like
the history of this nation. So it's just this idea
like there's because there's also this fear of like, well
then what happens if the Republicans are in control? We've

(32:54):
seen what the funk happens. You're right about the filibuster.
They'll do whatever the funk they have to, But then
you're gonna then suddenly put the brakes on your ability
to start put meaningful legislation forward because of this like
fucking specter you've raised in the back of your mind.
That's just actual horseshit, Like I'm just starting to see.
I don't. I'm failing to see what the risks are

(33:16):
um in terms of how the GOP operates and how
the the Democrats are choosing to to counter that because
we're not gonna get Medicare for all or a green
new deal with that. You think Mitch McConnell's gonna fucking
roll with that, No, or it's a version. That's the
other thing too, is you can tell where the Democrats
are too, because if they don't care, then they'll be like, Okay,

(33:37):
well fine, that's why we have to work with them
on this, and you should not. They don't fucking deserve
any kind of oxygen to be heard. That's what there.
There's like a thing that I thought was overly cynical
when people are saying, like the Democrats don't actually want
to win power, because then they have to you know,

(33:58):
enact a bunch of legislation that uh, you know progressives
want that they don't actually want. And it's like this
feels like the asset test for that, Like is this
are you going to kill the filibuster and like allow
yourself to enact legislation because they have openly like they're

(34:19):
not playing by any manner of rules anymore, and so yeah,
it's just very frustrating. It's I I don't I just
don't get what their calculus is too, because they're also
like Democrats and Republicans, like the single issue votership fux
up platforms and policies so much because rather than looking

(34:41):
at like what the majorities want and like, the majority
of the country's like, convict this dude, the majority of
the countries like he should be barred from holding office. Ever. Again,
the majority of people are like Trump should never fucking
be near office and any kind ever, and even a
majority of like republic lolikings are what are they doing?

(35:03):
But they are still focused on what the funk their
colleagues are saying these other fucking goblins that they work with,
thinking that's what America is. But just look, most Americans
saw what the funk went down? And they're like, that's
so nothing's happening. What the fuck the clock and the
clock is taking like you're gonna fucking deliver meaningful stimulus,

(35:25):
stimulus and aid to people in need. And by the
time the UH mid terms come around with by allowing
Mitch McConnell and them to muddy up everything really right,
I mean, they know America at its core, like at
the DNA level, as a nation ruled by a wealthy,
like tiny minority, and like so I feel like they're

(35:47):
kind of all in on that. They realize like, well,
you can't actually even though the Democrats come out and
say we're we're on the side of you know, popular opinion,
they don't actually do the things that require them too.
I was wondering, is there another lawsuit that could because
he has another a bunch of other ones like that

(36:09):
could bar him from holding office again, or is this
the last kind of hope for that. I don't know. Actually,
I don't know, like what the all the legal mechanisms
are aside from this, but I mean there is a
I mean, the the grumblings and mumblings are growing in
terms of well, if clearly the like that was so

(36:33):
stupid to have his best friends be the jury, um
slash hostages, active hostages, political hostages in the Senate who
are many of whom have said, Yeah, the base is
kind of wild right now, so I don't really want
to like cross them, so I'm gonna keep my head down. Um,
you know, like what happens there? And I think, yeah,

(36:53):
there's talk about the Attorney General d C and other
ages possibly bringing criminal lawsuits for incitement against Trump. I
mean yeah, and I think that's the thing that everyone's
talking about now. I mean Nancy Pelosi said, look, there's
gonna be a nine eleven style commission to get to
the bottom of this. Okay, that might reveal some things.

(37:14):
But a lot of people also saying, like, it's a
shame what happened in the in the fucking impeachment quote
unquote trial, because like Jamie Raskin did, like all of
the the imputer managers did a really good job of
just making it so clear like this is what he's
been saying, this is what the people were saying, this
is what the people said. They were taking his words

(37:35):
to mean after they committed crimes. Do you see what
we're we're going with this, and a lot of people like,
you know, it's actually he played out a substantial case,
uh for like actual incitement charges in terms of a
criminal case. Um And but I think there will be
a lot of debate over Trump's First Amendment rights, like
what was protected speech? What did he say? It's going

(37:56):
to be very it's the incitement part that is really
difficult to like sort of prove. But a lot of
people like there it seems like he's he's dealing with
more examples of unprotected speech than protected speech when we're
talking about like the evidence that was being used to
sort of make this case because being like, yeah, we're
gonna go over to the Capitol and like show them. Huh,
Like that's like you what are you gonna what is that?

(38:18):
What is that? What else is that supposed to me? Um? So, yeah,
I mean I think there's a lot of it's still
very new. I think right now, I think Americans need
to get on board with the idea that Republicans are
absolutely fucking gone, Like you know, most people were like
these people like I think if you listen to this show,

(38:38):
we've been saying this for a while, but if anyone
still is like, well, you know, they might just know. No,
they looked at it. They looked this case dead in
its eye, and in some cases they actually avoided looking
at it at all because it was so clear, turned
to their back on the video and start like cutting
their toenails and ship. Um that they could look at

(38:59):
that and still say, you know what, it's it's not
it's yeah, maybe he was guilty, but but it's But
that's what they're saying is when it comes to this
kind of ship, you can be guilty, but we still
won't hold you accountable because we need that. Right. All right,
let's move on to COVID news, which is positive, but

(39:20):
there's like a silver lining of shit that I'd like
to talk about. UM. So India, we're seeing cases, as
we talked about last week, drop across the around the world, UM,
and people aren't quite sure why they're dropping, uh because
like there's no single explanation that would make sense. There's

(39:41):
not enough people who are vaccinated yet antibody testing, for instance,
India is seeing one of the biggest drops. UH suggest
only one in five people in India had the virus.
So heard immunity on its own doesn't explain it. They're
in general better at masking UH than the United States,
but the drop is uniform across locations, even locations with

(40:05):
poor mask adoption. So as I was reading up on this,
and I think, you know, the question is open, and
I think it's probably a combination of all these different
things UH combining to draw or draw the rate of
transmission down. But as I was going through this AP
article on the drop, I realized that, like India is

(40:29):
still even at the high point where they were measuring from,
it was still like below one person per one hundred
thousand UM. And and I started just kind of like
digging through and it's like China, same, Japan, same, And
this is this is like just over the past few weeks,
but Japan, South Korea, their numbers per one hundred thousand

(40:53):
are orders of magnitude away from what you're seeing in
the United States, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, UM, South and
Central American countries. And you know this this has been
like the Wall Street Journal wrote about this back in
October about like how this trend is you know, happening,

(41:15):
But I I feel like we don't see it brought
forward as like a like the Asian societies that they
looked at in the Wall Street Journal, like they interviewed
people and they were like, oh yeah, like we're looking
at you guys like a cautionary tale, and every time
there's like a slight uptick, we all mask up because
what's happening in your countries is a disaster. Um. But

(41:38):
I feel like the other side of that, it's not
being treated as like, ah, this is what you could
have like sort of thing. It's it's just like even
the degree to which like people are like there's the
anti Asian racism that we're seeing, like attacks on elderly

(42:00):
Asian Americans, and like these are nations that and like
that people suspect that that's associated with the pandemic, and
like the story not not that there should ever be
like any sort of attacks on anyone, but like the
the story should be that those countries are like dramatically

(42:22):
kicking our ass in terms of like how uh they
approached the virus, how they controlled the virus, how they
continue to control the virus. Um. It's it's just kind
of a story that I feel like is should be
the main story, uh, and is getting underplayed because I
think a lot of it is cultural stuff, like, you know,

(42:45):
people valuing the well being of other people in other
countries as opposed to in the United States, where like
the first or the biggest new social media trend is
um anti math groups like people fighting for the right
to not wear masks. Yeah, and I think maybe even

(43:07):
like the way it's reported is like they don't want
Americans to catch wind of how much better people are
treated in other countries to exactly because you do that, like, well,
let's also talk about like wage subsidies for places like
Korea or Japan, uh, and how they immediately said, oh, well,
we're gonna have to take care of people's rents because
if they got to stay inside, then they can't have

(43:28):
the crush of trying to go out to make money.
Then we can give them food whatever. Like that was
like the beginnings of thinking about how to create relief.
And yeah, I think that that, to me was like
one of the few things I barely see reported about
comparing what the what life has been like existing in
the United States as a person who may have lost

(43:51):
their job versus these other countries, because that would piss
you the funk off, and you're like, what is going on?
But that is. I think that's another really under ripped,
barded side of things. It's more like what's going on
over there, rather than we might have a problem with
toxic individualism that's literally killing the country. These countries for centuries,

(44:11):
for eons, have been on a philosophical plane about taking
care of each other or or or or duty to
the community and things like that that are playing out
as we see in this way too, because I mean,
I talked to my Japanese relatives and it's it's there's
so many things like that will compare and contrast how

(44:33):
it's head scratching. Some things are like you wouldn't wear
a mask, like people, why wouldn't people wear masks? I'm like, yeah,
I don't know how to explain that to you. It's
very difficult to explain. And people like what the last
time I complimented or or said Japan was doing better
than the United States? Um, people were like, it's actually
not that great, and they're they're definitely like ups and

(44:55):
downs in other countries, just like uh, the United States
has had. It's just that they are ups and downs
are so much smaller than ours, Like the the max
of the India spike that they were talking about was
like forty thousand or four hundred thousand people, um, which
you know is a nation of it's like three times

(45:15):
of population of the United States. So it's like it's
just nothing compared to what we're seeing in the United States.
And I feel like those the order of magnitude of
the problem that we've had with this comparative comparatively is
just kind of being ignored by the media because I
I think people don't want to acknowledge it, the idea

(45:38):
of wearing a mask as any loss of freedom, Like
that's not even saying anything about what you can do
or where you can go, anything, anything anything like that.
It's like the smallest thing. And when I see these
people like where they're making that, they're like their movement

(46:01):
anti mask, I mean, it's such a micro issue and
the whole thing of freedoms to me, it's it's yeah,
but it's the what's funny. The thing is you could
never try and explain to that person, like wouldn't you
say that you're outside response to this is indicative of
a lifetime of always being unhindered and always doing whatever

(46:24):
the funk you wanted to, like, relative to that is
that what you think you're maybe pushing back, what are
you talking about? You know what I mean, it's hard
you can't get someone to see that. But for so long,
I mean, so many of the gripes or the consistent
thing is just about like you're not going to control
me or make me think that this, rather than like, okay,

(46:45):
more than that, do you give a funk about other people?
I was just going to say, on a basic level
of manners, regardless of if you even fucking believe in science,
the idea of ever thinking that me not wearing a
mask could harm someone else, regardless of I cared about
help of self harm, Like, if there's a possibility science

(47:08):
that I could do that i'm wearing a mask. I
think I wonder too if it because right, I'm trying
to put myself in that position, because if I did that,
then for me to consider that, I would have to
then extrapolate situations in which I might harm another person,
which then might trigger thoughts about mortality, which I'm not
ready to engage in at all. Or there's a there's

(47:29):
like this, there's something deeply uncomfortable about having to think
about something like that. So it's easier to just be
dis like, just be like no, kill switch, engage, fuck
a mask freedom, not because it's actually this other ship
again those what they call thought killing uh cliches. Basically,
I guess that's wild to think about it like that,
as like denying on a but think about how people's

(47:53):
minds work. You know, we have friends, like we all
have friends who will somehow they will completely avoid a
specific topic of conversation no matter what you're like, okay,
that was I don't look, I don't need to know,
but I clearly that's not something you're ready to talk about.
And even though it's not a hot button issue, that's
what it is. And I think for some it's like
that sort of same thing, like this idea of mortality

(48:16):
or that responsibility to others is like real for whatever reason,
is frying a bunch of people's circuits, and they're just
resorting to like, no, I don't want to engage. I
don't even want to have a real discussion about that
because it makes me so uncomfortable to even think about
that that I'm just going to resort to this like
personal freedom argument that has no like intellectual weight to it.
I think people have applied it um a whole like

(48:39):
used it as the placement for their anger. I've made
it for another enemy, you know. For me, I'm like, oh,
you'll hold a door for someone, but you won't wear
a mask, you know what I mean. It's like literally,
it's all just it spoils down to manners from me. Yeah, yeah, no,

(49:02):
it is. I mean it's a broad cultural like values problem.
It's not that the people in the United States are
inherently born more selfish. It's that the value set in
the United States has trained them to. Um. I think
this way. I mean that this Brown University School of

(49:23):
Public Health uh dean said in the US and Europe,
we wanted to get our lives back, so we acted
as if the virus was under control. In Asia, they
were not in denial. They understood they can have their
lives back if they follow certain precautions. UM. And yeah,
I mean that's that's kind of a very straightforward way
of looking at. Another issue that there is in the

(49:43):
Small Street Journal article is that a lot of the
spread in Western Europe has been linked to young people. UM.
And that I think gets at something that's probably at
the core as well as like that makes Western countries
and communities. Worse than dealing with this is the fact
that like Eastern countries actually value their elders and are

(50:07):
more like whereas in the West it's like antithesis. It's
the antithesis. It's the you know they, I mean, that's
that's seen in no country for all men. When he
goes and visits his dad and he's like just in
a trash strewn heap with like flies all over the
place because nobody like he's like, once you're no longer
useful in America, you just get kind of thrown to

(50:30):
the curb like you're yeah, like it's just all about
usefulness to capitalism. And then once you're old, like we
try not to think about you because it's you're bumming
us out with a yeah. And it's because it goes
back to wait, because the thing is, rather than embracing
the wisdom that comes with age, right, the US culture

(50:51):
is about the the pursuit of escaping mortality, to escape aging,
to escape these things, to forever be in this mindset
of like just man's fucking kid man, just the youth,
like you know, there was like this is a book
called like the Death of the grown Up that sort
of like maps this like huge sort of cultural swing
away from like being an adult, uh like from him

(51:12):
from like boomers and stuff, because rock stars became big
and everyone's like I wanna be a fucking rock star,
and then like these parents who are like, I'm more
of a friend than a parent. Like it all kind
of had this wave right of like changing our our
our viewpoints on what an adult even is, and especially
in US society, and yeah, we're looking at it now
and again the idea of being safe that someone could

(51:35):
die mortality fuck that. And also our our youth culture
is all based on like so much social media ship
about being out doing shit, not being at home, not
helping people. Uh, your drip is so intense that the
fucking you gotta call a plumber, you know, Like it's
just it's emphasized all the things that when you go
into this, you're like, of course that's the direction it

(51:57):
went in, because that's just like there was a dual
momentum we were going and especially for uh our consumer culture,
but yeah for kids especially Yeah, um, all right, let's
uh take a quick break now that we've figured out why.
Uh yeah, Also the Texas story, what we talked about

(52:18):
on trending yesterday. But that is another wild system wide
failure of American you know, government and society that is
happening in slow motion, Like they apparently knew this weather,
this like freezing snap was coming, and just nobody prepared anybody.
It was just like, yeah, all right, well that's gonna suck.

(52:41):
Oh what a couple of snow flakes. Yeah, alright, let's
take a quick break and we'll come back and talk
about some bullshit and we're back, and the gorilla glue

(53:04):
challenge is happening, y'all. Gorilla glue is the one, like
the one problem if you could, if you asked me
to pick the one product that is not electrified, can't
like electrocute you to death, that I would not want
there to be a challenge for gorilla glue would be
number one. Is that on the heels of the uh,

(53:28):
the Tessica case. Just because it's such a it's like
such a powerful thing. Like the first time you use
gorilla glue, you're like, oh my god, this say it
like you you really it's irrevocable once you use gorilla glue.
That should have stuck. Man, that's a good word for
it like you can't take it back. It's like a

(53:48):
it's like a moment you can never come back, you
can never Gorilla glue something my dad us you growing
up and it was always like it kind of it's scary.
It kind of feels like you have a weapon in
the high us. Yeah. Um see now, I'm like it's
like activated the mischievous side of my brain. I'm like, really,

(54:10):
it's like a weapon. I mean, obviously, like hearing the
stories was enough, but it's clearly become like the new
Tide Pod of this year, like the thing that you
shouldn't be fucking with outside of its intended use. But
somehow everybody wanna fun with garula glue. No, and it's
several levels passed like a fun like you know, crazy thing. Yeah,

(54:35):
it's just it's because all it is is like guaranteed injury.
Everything we've seen is never like whoa close call with
guerrilla glue. This person almost blah blah. It's like no,
this person glued themselves to a train and then they died.
You know that. It's like, oh god, so this guy, Um,
I think down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana named Lenise Martin,

(54:55):
the third, he is a I think aspiring rapper. He
put on his Instagram page age and would do the
gorilla glue challenge. And I'm just gonna play because this guy,
he's convinced people are y'all, y'all are fucking too much,
too much frantic energy around this gorilla glue stuff. It's
just glue, y'all um. And so he put this challenge out.

(55:16):
He wanted to create his own challenge. And let's take
a little listen. You're right here. I'm gonna sure you're
from Grill and Blue right here, super Blue Rill myself.
I'm gonna take it, put it on this cup, put
in my mouth. Then it will be the licking and
get at all. So right now, he's saying, I have

(55:37):
a have a red Solo cup. I got a fucking
new bottle gorilla glue, and I'm gonna show you. I'm
gonna put it a little bit of grilla glue inside
of this red Solo cup. I'm just look it right
off because it's glue, y'all. She says, it's gardage. He's
telling you. So he's gonna put so anyway, he puts
the fucking glue on the cup and then the next

(55:59):
slide isn't. In his Instagram post is him at the
fucking hospital with a solo cup to his lip, and
he was like, I thought I could lick it off
to moisten it and pull it right off, but that
didn't work. Everyone, he's too damn ol. He's got I'm
guessing he's my age probably at least uh they Yeah,

(56:21):
they said it was. It was removed with the medical
teak technique he described as quote painful peeling. Yeah, that
was one of the things from the Tesca Like for
people who haven't been listening, as we give beat by
beat updates of the Tesca Brown case, she got confused,

(56:44):
I think more justifiably than a lot of people are
giving her credit for, because there are products called like
I can't believe it's not glue hair product and gorillasnot.
And so she thought gorilla glue was usable in her
hair and it was just a solid mass until she
was able to go to a plastic surgeon and get

(57:05):
it softened via like some medical, medical grade adhesive remover. Um.
So one of the things that I learned from that
is that gorilla glue is actually water activated. It gets
harder when it comes in contact with water, he said.

(57:33):
He goes on to say, if um all of his
painful peeling procedures don't go right, he might have to
have the tip of his lip surgically like removed. Blair
has has opted out of this conversation. There is what
if you've ever been at a football game and seeing
somebody knocked out and their arms are locked up what
we call fencers pose, you have Fencer's pose. The reacting

(57:57):
to that again, And so I'm sensitive when I think
of other people in pain. It's like I can't handle it,
and to think I I know what gorilla is like,
and I just feel so bad for these people. I
don't want them to do it anymore, especially when the

(58:18):
girl I I didn't follow the case. I kept seeing
gorilla glue headlines, so I didn't really know what happened
till just now. Her not doing it on purpose makes
it so much sadder to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh. Also,
these doctors are like modern day like racle people, like

(58:38):
having to deal with some who put gorilla glue specialist.
You go renal issues with your kidney, I know, well,
let's take you to that person. You've got something wrong
with your ear hold on gorilla glue on your lip
or your head, and doctors can't can't also just like
no thanks, they're like right in front of what do

(59:00):
you know what I mean, emergency room. Emergency room should
have a judge at the entrance. Is just like now
he's got to lit that cup on his mouth for
the next three weeks. I'm sorry. Would you say you
put gorilla glue on a solo cup for Instagram challenge? Okay,
so the exit is right there. You can take your

(59:21):
ass home with that dumb ship. Because we have people
who are actually injured for the Graham, I uh, I
do wonder how how what percentage we should have an
er doctor on to tell us what percentage of injuries
or for the Graham. Uh I bet there's a good
handful of them. Um. This one also hurts because I've

(59:41):
I've had that, like with a lip stuck to something
really cold, you know, and then yeah, yeah, very dumb
and dumber, and you like peel it off and there's
just like a raw patch underneath it for a while.
That's that's very uncomfortable. And this is like that times
a hundred. I mean the fact that dude surgery for

(01:00:02):
the tip of your lip. I mean, like that's where
it's like you feel bad because some people are so
stupid that now they're in this situation. I'm not be like, oh, well,
he didn't deserve that because he engaged in the act,
didn't act directly. But it's like, damn, y'all, come the
funk on, I need to come clean about something right now.

(01:00:23):
Tear chair, right now. Okay, Look, when I was about
probably nine years old, and look, I was only I
was the youngest in my family, only girl, and I
just would do anything to share air with my older brothers,
Like I just wanted to let them me be around them.

(01:00:45):
So this is about the time when they would go
up to a metal sign on the street and kick
the bottom and pretend to smash their face on it,
right to get the sound going. Yeah, and I wanted
them to like me, and I want and I went

(01:01:05):
up and fucking headbutted the ship out of the sign
and knocked myself out and go out of concussion. Okay,
so ship on these TikTok motherfucker's. But I really can't.
I don't have a place, and so I'm just gonna
sit this one out well, look, but that's how you
learned to march borrow the beat of your own drum. Yeah,

(01:01:27):
and that's for sure. I don't know how I still
managed to be stay wildly intelligent, but I mean, look,
we all have a past, is what I want to say.
And um, I forgive everyone. I love to you all.
The best physics lesson I ever got was when I
was six riding my bike and I just stuck a

(01:01:48):
like pretty hefty like stick in the spoke front spokes
of my bike and it just flipped over like and
I just ate complete ship. And it was just I
don't know what I was thinking, Like I knew something
would happen, but I didn't realize like, oh wow, like
there is a counterintuitive amount of force that like you

(01:02:11):
can just get totally fucked by. I was like when
I try to eat dog food out of my dog,
my dog's food when they were eat the dry food. Yeah,
I've done it a bit the side of my fucking
ear off basically, you know. I was like, I was like,
the fund, did you that's an animal just stuck your head?

(01:02:35):
You do? Yes, an a little hospital. No. I wasn't
like that bad. It wasn't like anything that needed stitches.
It was just like enough that like it. My father's
laughter made my cries more intense, you know what I mean?
Yeah there, and they're like what you do? What the

(01:02:55):
funk are you doing? I'm like, what you thought you
could eat out of? And I'm like, I wanted you
to like me as much as you remember head butted
the door at Blockbuster and shattered the glass and then
you got all mad at me. There's something about the

(01:03:17):
US and like the response to COVID not to like
try and tie everything together, but like the like, well
it can't be that, but like just lack of imagination
of like what, like what can't be that bad? And
then it gets really really bad and people are dying,
and then we're like, well but you can't like imagine people.

(01:03:37):
I don't know, it's because I really it's like funk
around find out. It really thematically fits the United States,
except we don't find out just fucking around and then
from everyone. Yeah, while some people, like the fucking wealthy
people can funk around and then everyone beneath them finds out,

(01:04:00):
you know, and then that's and then but the people
who do the fucking around never find out. Oh, this
is brilliant. Go I'm gonna put this on. We need
to put this on the in d C. On a
monument somewhere. They stick a spoke in the front wheel
of their bike and somebody else's bike flips over like
or like or it's like they're they're like in the

(01:04:21):
in the seat they hit the spokes, but they're launched
off the bike onto another bike seamlessly, and they're like, oh,
that was pretty cool. While everybody was in the baby
seat in the back just like fucking head smashed into
the concrete. Oh man, uh what a visual, Little Blair.
Oh nice corn dog anyone? Oh where the kids go.

(01:04:48):
It's been such a pleasure having you as always. Where
can people find you and follow you? I love corn
dogs so much? Okay, um god, it was great to
be back and Happy Valentine today on Sunday. Also everyone, um,
you can find me at Blair Saki B L A

(01:05:10):
I R S O C C I on Twitter and Instagram.
And I have a breath work class I'm teaching, um
because I got certified because I'm uh, you know, mysterious
saspitch um and so yeah, and so if you guys

(01:05:33):
want to come to that you can purchase tickets in
my um Instagram bio and it's on March eighth, and
I think it's gonna be a really vodacious time. That'll
be good for everyone, no problem. A lot of times
I have to ask the take the role of asking

(01:05:53):
Layman's UM questions about politics. That's my role on this podcast,
UM because I know that a lot of other listeners
have the same questions, and I'm not afraid to ask them.
I'm not afraid. I'm not I don't seek in front
of people. UM. Breath work is a two part active

(01:06:14):
UM breathing technique, and UM, what's cool about it, It's
like it's a very physical experience and instead of like
trying to meditate in like a quiet room and like
silence your thoughts because you're focusing so much on this
very physical thing, if passes your mind and you go

(01:06:35):
straight into the stratosphere. Yeah, yeah, I love terms and
conditions do apply. Yeah, that's gonna be cool. Is there
a tweet or some other work of social media you've
been enjoying? Yeah, I thought in my friend Robbie Sloas tweet.
He's so funny. He's a friend and comedian friend of

(01:06:55):
mine in New York and his tweet was comics will
be like we're truth tellers, roving philosophers who speak truth
to power and also catch me this weekend at the
Looney Bin or next weekend at Off the Comedy Club.
It made me laugh really hard. H Miles, where can

(01:07:15):
people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Twitter?
Instagram at Miles of Gray. Also other podcasts for twenty
day Fiance if you watch ninety Day Fiance or Married
at First Sight, that will would get down over there
with that talk um. A tweet that I like, just
a nice and easy one from Reductress at Reductress, just
the just this lady in a nice like knit scarf

(01:07:38):
looking out of nice winter windows saying I might be
perfect on the outside, but on the inside my socks
are sliding down. Which it's just so funny because I
had to throw socks away earlier this morning because I
was like, God, it's the end, baby. These things are
now just like weird foot gloves that don't stay on.

(01:08:00):
There's nothing I throw away more reluctantly than socks and underwear.
I will ride. Is there something you can't Is there
an article of clothing you will discard immediately, no problems,
no questions asked. Actually no, okay, pretty much hang on too.
I was just gonna say, Miles, like, I'm impressed by

(01:08:21):
that discipline on this exact same way. It makes me
feel like extremely adult for some reason when I make
the conscious choice to toss out a bad pair. But
I feel like it's easy because you just kind of
forget and you you accept them as something that is
just living with you. Interesting and um, how many toxic
relationships have you been in? Okay, I'm just curious. I

(01:08:45):
don't know. It might be a microcosm. Don't know. If
you're doing the same thing over and over, you're saying
this item is useless. It's actually an inconvenience to me.
But I will I will compartmentalize quite literally, put in
another part of the drawer until it emerges again, just
for me to read enact the same cycle of behavior
out and not advocating for myself. I don't know. That's
been my time at Miles of great Twitter Instagram. Thank

(01:09:06):
you a little Cunney, many little brouted to my attention.
But I'm happy to say I'm talking about left and
right there you go toss out, toss out those relationships
like loose ass socks. You're not gonna lose out on them.
You're really not. You're not. I'm telling you, if that's me,
If that makes it easier for someone listening right now,

(01:09:26):
a bad relationship is as good as uselessly that you
don't need them, and it might feel weird to throw
it away because you're like, oh, it's a sock or relationship.
Trust me, you can get these things like fifty for
two cents anyway. I never space in your drawer for
the new ones. Um, oh my god, I feel so
exposed you. So much of my drawer spaces socks that

(01:09:48):
I haven't worn in eleven years. Um, it's it's dumb.
It's bad. Are you do that? You ever did that thing?
You put the sock on, and you know it's a
rap because the elastic just goes. It's like just around. Yeah,
bunch of dust blows out from your ankle. You're like, oh,
I'm not still not gonna throw them away? Yeah, those

(01:10:11):
all those all come in handy later, I'm sure. Uh tweet,
I've been enjoying. Uh is. I thought this was just
gonna be the brand Gorilla Glue like getting in on
the fun of the gorilla glue ship. It's it is
at gorilla glue. That is the Twitter handle and it
says our quote, our quote glue is made by jacking

(01:10:33):
off a Western Loland gorilla named esteban uh. And it
just it has their logo. It says gorilla glue. It's
it's amazing that they got that and are able to keep.
And Stephen Douglas tweeted if the Cruella trailer doesn't feature
