another band that has some stupid backstory like when that
was like a whole thing, like, well, why are they
called this? Why are they called that? Why was Lincoln
Park Lincoln Park. Was it because they wanted to be

Vampire Weekend song A Punk got stuck in my head.
Is for a while there, every time my I would
turn on my Ford Focus, uh, the bluetooth would just
go automatically to the very first song in my alphabetically

(03:01):
in my phone, and I would hear that literally every
time I turned on my phone or turned on my car.
And uh, now I hate that song. Oh yeah, I'm
talking about the yeah mine is. Uh, I don't hate it,
but it's Above the Clouds by Gang Star. Uh huh. Anyways, Miles,
we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat

(03:22):
by the hilarious, the talented Matt Lead. What I'm so
glad to be here. Just what have you? It's just
you know, and on such a beautiful day, a beautiful
September eleventh day, you know the smoking air smoke is

(03:43):
still in the air. Is the word pronounced acrid? It's acrid? Yeah, okay.
I was singing to this because I said it, I
think out loud on the show and someone's like, I
think he's saying around. I realized how many like mispronunciations
I got from teachers in elementary school, like bo cap
tests being like and this is a crid. Yeah, you

(04:04):
go on saying this, and I was like, what the
fund do you say? I'm like, shut up, wasn't lying? Well?
Elementary school teachers are are definitely the least the least
smart teachers. That's why that's why they go into elementary school.
That's not to say that they're not great teachers. I mean,
but I like, I went to school for just a
hot second to get a multiple subject teaching credential so

(04:27):
I could teach elementary school because I'm stupid as shit
and I did not want to like be challenged by
like some really smart middle schooler or high schooler. So
I was like, I'll go to elementary school, and you know,
I'll be the smartest person probably you know, on campus,
like everyone be like, damn, he's so smart. You can
smell he can he can spell all of the numbers,

(04:48):
you know. But yeah, President in Italy, they don't know that.
But the stench in the l A area is just
to honor Mrs lou Ride or Acrid. But yeah, it's
like for anybody who like has ever been to or
grew up in a country where burning trash is normal.

(05:09):
That's when I flashed back to when I went outside today.
I was like, wait, wait, hold on, where are we
are we? No, this is okay. It's just the earth.
I can smell it inside of my apartment and I
thought my apartment was on fire for a second, but
then I was like, oh no, it's fine. It's just
all of the West coast just earth. Yeaah, that's fine.
It's again great for some sun watching. You can just

(05:31):
can you can look right at it. It's great. Sneeze yeah,
it'll be from all the particulate matter in there. Are
you photo sensitive, sneezer? Me? Yeah, that's how if I
if I need to get a sneeze off real quick,
just go to my boy helios up there, Apollo whatever
the fun like, get hook it up and see my

(05:54):
dad photo sensitive sneezer and he uh like made me
feel got there was something wrong with me because I'm
not like he was like, wait, you don't what No, Yeah,
everybody see you just have to like when when the
sun hits you. Yeah, oh, is that why you're wearing
those like thick like sunglasses for that while when you
got back from vacation because you're looking Yeah, I was

(06:16):
trying to listen to my dad that man. Um. Anyways,
we're gonna 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. We are going
to talk about, Miles, what you have termed the panic
at the ship show, which is the president's response to uh,

(06:38):
all the bad ship that's coming out. We're going to
talk about why you don't funk with Connecticut football, the
storied uh legacy of Connecticut football, which I mean, I
guess what's his Aaron Hernandez was from there, but that's

(06:59):
really the only thing. Usually like it's like Florida and Texas.
But man, they tried to cancel Connecticut high school football
and they reacted like who they were not happy. I
don't I have to. I would love to see what
the other like uprisings looked like and see if there
was this much energy for the high school football season
as there was, like Black Lives Matter. But you know,

(07:19):
we'll have to we'll have to do some digging and
compare some photos. But there was definitely a lot of energy. Uh,
We're gonna talk about Rick Perry. We're gonna talk about
a sneezing contest at Sturgis. Speaking of sneezing, we're gonna
talk about will See Nelson as I call him, Willie Nelson,
smoking to join on the White House roof. We have
confirmation on that, uh what some people might have thought

(07:41):
was an urban legend from both sides of that transaction.
We're gonna talk about Netflix Top ten, what we're watching,
all that plenty more. But first, Matt, we like to
ask our guests, what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are? M m um. While
I was looking at a few things, and uh, one

(08:04):
of the most recent things is I searched new Rachel
Dolasu Lady Um. Oh yeah, from Yeah, George Washington. Uh,
I forget where she's from, but she her name is
Jessica Krug or Krug and uh she yeah. I just said.
I like, I didn't know her name, and I wanted

(08:25):
to know everything about her because I saw it kind
of blow up on Twitter. I saw videos of like
this white lady who was talking with the worst fake
urban accent I think I've ever heard in my life,
and I was like, I just oh, it's amazing. It
is like Brad Pitt when he's talking to Jamaican woman

(08:45):
and uh yeah, yeah, she's just like every ting gwanbi
Irie And I was like, I gotta get the funk
out of here. It is. It was wild. I just
went down this rabbit hole of just every piece of
New Rachel dollas, all lady content, and I could get
my hands on, and I feel I feel for her man,
you know, because it's like, hey, we've all been there,

(09:06):
you know, We've all yeah, well sure, I remember in
middle school. Um uh it was like one of it
was like the first week of sixth grade, and I
pretended to well what I did, well, what I did
was I wore a flannel. Um. But I just buttoned

(09:27):
it at the top because I really wanted to fit
in with like the Trollo kids, because those were the
cool kids in middle school, Like I got you, you
were you were mirroring some of the yes yeah, and
so for like a few hours, I was like, you know,
a fake Trollo until I went up to this one
kid and I was like, yeah, what's car and he said, fool,
You're not my cousin. And then I stopped immediately because

(09:49):
I thought he was a blood and he would have
been like the fun yeah, Like wait, what what does
that mean? No, I don't know what it meant. Uh,
but yeah, you know, we've all done it. Maybe my
only last about four my kids didn't wear a foobu
jersey and looks real, you know what I mean. I
remember being like, what the luck is wrong with that?

(10:10):
Or whatever? Do you about it? I didn't realize, you know,
she was really reading her bio, which has now been scrubbed.
I had to find the cashed version of her bio
at the George Washington University or Department of History, Colombian
College of Arts and Sciences. She's done it all, man,
She's like she she's one of those people. Who's like
she's like right writing about you know, the like western

(10:33):
Central Africa, different societies, diaspora. She's commented on hip hop.
I'm all I want do we know much about like
how she got here? Because with Dolls all it just
it was sort of like one thing led to another,
like how you know how long she's been front? I
know that's the thing. I couldn't find the information where
because yeah, with Dolls, all you had like the family

(10:55):
come forward and show like family pictures and it was
even those videos that her X made her like those songs, right,
oh my god. Yeah, anytime new Rachel Dolazel content drops,
I'm just like so excited. But like this was with
her with the the new one. She you don't see
any like I haven't seen any childhood pictures or anything

(11:16):
like that. All I know is that she was a
Jewish girl from Kansas, a white girl who pretended to
be kind of like uh, I think like Afro Latina
is where is where she was going with it, which
is like girl, like come on, you're you're already a
jew from Kansas? Like that's special enough? Is there like

(11:37):
twenty twenty Jews? And can't you can't just be a
Jew from Kansas. That's that's something you know. Well, but
she did do North African, so maybe she's trying to
go you know, like a little like Sephardic vibes or something.
Maybe you know what I mean, it could be, but
you know, I it's just it's unfortunate either way. It's
just a fucking bummer when you're like damn, like you're

(11:59):
gonna the funk. Yeah, and it still cosplay is an
oppressed for I mean, like not to say I knew
everyone's there's a hierarchy or whatever, but like to go
this far to be like I need to bolster my
identity by fucking lying and going through this maze of identity.
It sucks because it's like there's I feel like there's
nothing you can do about it. Because it was like
discourse around it that was kind of like, you know,

(12:20):
how did we let this happen? You know, y'all like
like how did we let this person uh infiltrate? And
I was like, well, I think it's it's like it's bad,
but I think it's worse if we start like allowing
white people to question uh people of colors race credentials,
Like that's where you know, if someone if someone identifies

(12:43):
as a person of color, I'm not usually the guy
who's going to be like, well, you know, how can
you don't look that black? I mean, you know, yeah,
you'd but you'd fit in with the country. Yeah right, yeah,
And it's just like so I'm like, I think, I
think slipper slope. The right thing to do is to
not go around questioning everyone's race, um, and the downside

(13:06):
of that American citizenship if they are a piece exactly
as soon as yeah, yeah, that's that's where you start up.
Either way. What is something you think is overrated? I
think that the power of ship posting on Twitter is
vastly overrated. Uh specifically, um by it's overrated by the

(13:31):
hashtag resistance people online and Trump reply guys, because I
noticed that, um every time I post, like a joke
about Biden, um and no matter, usually they're like pretty
lightweight jokes about them, you know, uh, posting the news
that in six swing states there's a majority of people
that find both Trump and Biden unfit mentally disservice, yes exactly,

(13:55):
and yeah, and the mess up thing about is that, like,
if you post jokes about Biden, Uh, you always get
like a handful of hashtag resistance people who are just like,
wait until after the election to make jokes about Biden.
This is too important. And I realized that the reason

(14:15):
that they're saying this is because these guys think that
their epic dunks on Trump are a very powerful weapon. Right,
they think you have to wield this power responsibly. All Right,
we when we call him the Orange Menace, like it's
we're days from taking them down. We're talking about for

(14:37):
a guy who we've compared to a cheetah him, We've
we called him mango Mussolini. There's alliteration. Yeah, here's there
is such a thing like because you can tell what
the kind of um like tweets that really get that
sort of viral traction, like the lamest sentiments that really

(15:00):
it's not even a dunk, but like a layup, very
standard lay up, not even reverse this a standard lay up.
And it'll just be like a quote tweet of the
President just being like he someone's freaking out, and it's
like three tweets, You're like, come on, man, like dude, whatever.
But I think that's everyone sort of looking at it
from their own perspective. It's like Star Wars. Yeah, and

(15:20):
they honestly think that, like this is a very very
important and powerful tool. And therefore, if you are dunking
on Biden, they're like this is counteracting. Are dunks on Trump?
And it's like, no, you and me, we're both impotent,
and you realize that the better off we're gonna be.

(15:41):
It's just like, you gotta stop thinking that you're dunks
on on Trump are going to have any effect because
dunk energy, dunk local. Put that energy into phone banking
and doing doing something. Don't get your local park, you
know what I mean, on your local you know Alderman
or city council or said whatever, Yeah, exactly, dunk locally,

(16:04):
think globally, dunk locally exactly. What's what's something you think
is underrated? Um? I think that YouTube reaction videos are
vastly underrated. They're like, okay, go on, like just the genre,
specifically genre, But there's a specific genre that I like,

(16:26):
and it's probably the most problematic thing that I like. Um,
it's watching black people enjoy white people. Music is probably
my favorite genre of reaction video. It's like, you know,
my first time listening to Dolly Parton's Joe Lene and
just watching people go like, damn, this is a really
good song, and I'm just like, yeah, it was good, right, yeah, yeah.

(16:50):
Watching there was like, uh, this black girl on YouTube
who listens to it was like listening to Pink Floyd
for the first time, and it was bringing me back
to when I listen to Pink Folly for the first time,
and it was just like, I'm so glad we could
connect on this level, like we're not so different you
when it's very problematic. He's the most boom right, and

(17:13):
that helps you feel good about race relationship when I
feel bad. I watched these videos and then I go
go right back to yeah, but yeah. The I like
music reaction videos to for not for the same reason
as you do, but I think but in similar reasons
to like to see people Like when you see someone
viscerally react to a good song, it's it feels so good,

(17:37):
Like there's that dude, there's who normally were like rates
rap albums. It's like a pretty big video where he
listens to Evil Empire for the first time, like Rage,
and he has to like pull his car over because
he like wasn't aware of like Zack's lyrics and Ship.
He's like hold on the same ones that work Forces,
the same that Burn Crosses is, Yeah, what did this album?

(18:02):
Hold on? That's such a good one. And then even
when new songs. I remember when the Drake Chicago freestyle
video came out, like like I think what at the
end of February early March, there were like a ton
of reaction videos to it. But there are parts where
you can just see people hit like a melody hit
them and like they have deposit. That's like one I
don't know, I want that straight in my veins. Yeah,

(18:22):
it's nice. It's nice when you get to enjoy someone's
like like an earnest reaction. There's a few fakers out there.
There's people pretending yeah, they're just like wow, I've never
I've never listened to this this song hey Off by
Outcast before. It's like you heard hey right. There's there's
no way you never heard hey right. They're like mouthing along.

(18:45):
You're like I want you in my caddy channeling it.
I'm just being honesty. My I do not like the
ones where they ask like Millennial or gen Z, like
have you heard of Van Halen? They're like no, And
people like pah, what a bunch of idiots. Yeah yeah, yeah,

(19:09):
how good you? This generation is just trash. They've they've
never listened to hair metal, and it's like that's the
reason this generation is better. They're like, no, I listened
to like like led Zeppelin or like Muddy Waters, you
know that, you know, like like all rocket Storm from
black people, right yeah, And they're like, um, you're thinking

(19:29):
way too hard about this gen z kids. They want
to ruin everything with awareness. What is uh? What's a myth?
What's something people think it is true? You know, to
be false vice versa. Yeah, I think this is true
based on some reporting uh and statistics that I've seen.
The myth is that the left uh in America is

(19:52):
responsible every time conservative wins because they quote don't vote
for the Democrat. A more significant amount of leftists always
end up voting for the centrist you know, democratic candidate
every time. I mean, including like the actual Communist Party
of the United States. They always vote for the Democrat

(20:15):
just because there are people on Twitter who are like
hashtag never Biden, Like it's it's just it pisses me
off every time because it's always just another way to
blame the left. For uh, the fact that the Democratic
Party continually runs people who don't get uh people excited
to vote. And UH, at some point they got to

(20:36):
take responsibility for the fact that they keep losing elections. Now,
hopefully they don't lose this next one, but if they
do again, it's not gonna be the left fault more. Uh.
In fact, more centrists voted for Hillary Clinton, or who
voted for Hilly Clinton in two thousand and eight and
the primaries and lost to Barack Obama voted for John McCain.

(20:56):
Then people who went you know, from Bernie to Trump.
I think it's that other thing to like, it's like
just like with the ship posts, like a lot of
people have the Twitter is reality from the vibe going on,
and like they really look at Twitter as a true
slice of American pie, like like and that is the

(21:16):
tone of the country when it really isn't, because like
it's it really took me, like to distance myself a
little bit more and to just talk person to person
to get an idea, like your neighbor who lives across
the street, like the person of the coffee place in
your neighborhood, and just honestly to be like, hey, man politics, huh,
And just seeing how someone responds to that gives me

(21:39):
a much better idea than when I go on and
I see either red rose Twitter or hashtag resistance Twitter
or maga hat Twitter or blue hat Twitter, whatever icon
d jore emotional dire Twitter there is. Yeah, so you know,
but I guess if if that's purely the way reality
is sort of form that, yeah, I could, I guess
would you would think that there's a disturbing amount of

(22:00):
progressives or leftists that are going to sit this election out.
And that's why that's why it's like going going on
Twitter and thinking it's real life is just it's just
poisonous in general, because it's like it makes your entire
like everything that you do is going to be run
through Twitter then, and so your entire worldview is based
on who you follow and who you uh, you know

(22:23):
hate follow, you know, and it's like everyone you follow
will have the same response to an outsider's opinion that
will get quote tweeted, and then you're like, Okay, so
this is how the lines are drawn, you know, and
then listen to your heart, guys, exactly what exactly? Alright, guys,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

(22:51):
And we're back, and there is a panic at the
ship show. Trump did not want to cause a panic.
He was doing us a favor by uh calling the
coronavirus a hoax. Uh and you know, suppressing the response,

(23:13):
making the response bad the coronavirus. That was all part
of his attempt to avoid a panic. I mean, that's
his whole thing. He loves to not He wants to
keep everyone calm people. He's known as the chill President.
Everyone nothing else like calming influence on the I mean,
we saw how he handled people talking about defunding the

(23:36):
police and reinvesting in communities. Uh, he was very even
handed with that. He didn't sort of conjure up imagery
of black and brown folks coming to terrorize white neighbor.
Oh no, no, okay, not that one. But the thing
where he was trying to be really cool about, you know,
changing access to affordable housing. That way black and brown
people don't invade your Okay, um wait the other one.

(23:58):
The other thing that he was talking about, how um okay,
fuck it. He likes to do is make people pay.
And the worst thing is is that, like um he
he almost he succeeded in a way. He's like, yeah, no,
it's true. The good portion of the country is still
not panicked, even though we have two hundred thousand people dead.

(24:19):
We have two hundred thousand people who have died from
this virus in six months, and uh, people still not
panicking because they're like, well, it's not it's not like
it's there's three thousand people dead, like we're gonna keep
moving the goalposts to be like, listen of the country
dying is no, it happens. You know, in Europe during

(24:39):
a Black plague, a third died, so you know, also
a couple of things. Look what the Fed just did
with interest rates exactly because half the population died. You
can damn you have any fucking house you want. This
guy is pretty cheap, so I mean the inventory. You know,
after the Black Plague, there was actually an increase in

(25:01):
labor rights because there was so few labors left if
you think that, which is like it took all the
people dying for them to be like, sorry, we kind
of you know, we kind of run shipped now because
the pool is so thin. Except the Black plague was
more indiscriminate, whereas this plague, Uh, kills specifically, uh, poor

(25:29):
people in persons of color. And yeah, it's it's interesting that, um,
you know the fact that as soon as that information
came out that it was like disproportionately poor people and
people of color, people were like, you know, we're just
gonna have to do her immunity. I was like, Oh,
that's weird, that's uh, that must just be a coincidence
that this semi genocidal uh you know, coronavirus is now

(25:55):
being you know, allowed to run rampant through our cities
and everywhere. And again, the wild thing is, as this
story evolves, like everybody, all the sycophantic shit heels have
come to the fucking rescue to try and just dig
this full out. But you know, first I was want
to start with the president, who this tweet. I mean,

(26:18):
I think case closed with this response from the president.
His tweet, Bob Woodward had many quotes for many months.
If he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why
didn't immediately report them in an effort to save lives?
Didn't you have an obligation to do so? No, because
he knew they were good and proper answers, Calm, no panic,
I don't know what the funk that was. Yeah, I agree,

(26:42):
he's saying he said, that's on Bob Woodward. Then, so
Bob Woodward actually killed everybody keeping how irresponsible I was
being as the president. Yeah, and worst, He's like, you know,
the reason he didn't is because everything's fine, you know,
so he knew it was fine. If it was so bad,
then how come you didn't stop me earlier. You're my daddy.

(27:04):
You're my daddy, Bob. You should have told me if
baby do wrong and you didn't, So baby no learned
messing and baby fucking two thousand people, this fucking guy man,
and so you know, just a quick note about this
recording too that came out. The White House staff had
been fucking screaming at Trump. Do not speak to what

(27:25):
they're like. This guy man just you don't know what
he's up to. He's gonna be recording ship. It's just
not good. He's like, trusting me. I'm gonna I'm gonna
stick to my aspertame filled gut on this one. And
I'm gonna say that I think I know what I'm doing.
If anything, it's gonna help me get my story out.
And so for the most part, the White House staff
didn't even have an idea of like when half of

(27:47):
these calls even went down, so they were totally fucking
blindsided Wednesday when this ship came out. Yeah, I mean,
this is the thing with him being just so kind
of such a loose canon that like every other their presidency,
you know, the press office, like this is just a
good indicator of like why it's scary that he has

(28:07):
these private conversations like Putin like people like that that
are usually on the record, and he's just like, no, no,
I've got this. I have always trusted my gut great
positions like this one. I mean, there's so many just
like direct contradictions from like on January, the book notes

(28:29):
that he was briefed by his national security advisor that quote,
this will be the biggest national security threat you face
in your presidency on January. On January, uh, and then
in in May he said January twenty three, I was
told there would be a virus coming, but it was
of no real import In other words, it wasn't oh,

(28:52):
we have to do something, got to do something. It
was a brief conversation. It was only on January. Um,
and if he was my dad, he should have told me,
but he didn't because I'm baby. Sean Hannity also obviously
had motherfucker's defense. Um, there's a couple he has. He
has a couple of angles. Uh, do you want to

(29:13):
hear a clip first? Do you want me redo quote first?
I want to hear a clip. You wanna hear a clip? Okay,
So let's listen to this one. How the fuck? Who
let President Trump do this to himself? He's baby sort of?
How he begins this? Why in the world would he
do that? Well, tonight from a source who knows the
answer to that mystery, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

(29:36):
It was Lindsey Graham who helped convince Donald Trump to
talk to Bob Woodward. Lindsay Graham brokered that meeting. Lindsey
Graham even sat in on the first interview between Bob
Woodward and the president. How that turned out. Now, remember,
Lindsay Graham is supposed to be a Republican, So why
would he do something like that? You'd have to ask him.
But keep in mind that Lindsay Graham has opposed, passionately

(29:58):
opposed virtually free major policy initiative that Donald Trump articulated
when he first ran from ending a legal immigration to
pulling back from pointless wars. Okay, hold on, I mean
this is where he's he's achieved the thing he's trying
to do, which is get yeah, which is to get
people to forget that the president said he willfully obscured

(30:19):
the threat of this pandemic and trying to be like,
you know what the worst thing is Lindsey Graham kind
of a backstabber? Hunh. Have you ever noticed that Lindsey
Graham never supported the president early on? Can we talk
about that in the decision that they're absolving the president
of making him putting on Lindsay Grant like, there are
two people in the world who have like been primarily

(30:44):
responsible for taking down as a sitting president. They are
Woodward and Bernstein. To one of them, he like that's
and they're like, I mean, how is he to know that?
It's like dude, and suck out and even and Woodward
looks like ship too for sitting on this also and

(31:04):
like his like hang ringing about like, well, I was
thinking maybe if it was going to be after the election,
then I couldn't do that. But it's like, well, see
this is where you started getting into like you needed
this for a book, but this is this is really
some some really fucked up ship to kind of sit on.
Although many people like, so this is the other really
dark shitty thing about this is like, even though we

(31:27):
have this recording, it change it fucking change doesn't change
changes nothing. That's why whenever people were like, how could
Woodward sit on this evidence and it's just like, all right,
let's say he releases it the day of what does
it change? It changes nothing. People just kind of go like, yeah, no,
we all assumed he knew this was bad. We all

(31:50):
know that he knew that the virus existed, and that
when he said it was a hoax, that it was
just a way of riling up his base. Like it
changes nothing. The fact that he's using it to sell
books is always gross. But the the idea that like,
if we had known this earlier, it's like this ear
we have proof of it with in January. You know

(32:14):
where this was going. Another great bit of just historical
context that Hannity just offers his listening public and viewing
public is this one, because you know, if we're going
to talk about presidents who keep their fucking ship together,
blow their wad panicking during a fucking crisis. It's fucking

(32:39):
f DR. Okay, So this is what Hanny had to say.
Did President Roosevelt fan the flames of misery? Did he
call for panic and anxiety? No, he actually rallied a
nation in a time of need. He focused on making
Americans stronger by staying positive, and he got to work
and he rolled up his sleeves. During World War Two,
with the country on the bree FDR proclaimed, we have

(33:02):
nothing to fear but fear itself. Did the media attack him,
of course not. So what Trump literally was like, we
have nothing to fear but George sorrows, the Jews, the
Magrian caravan, like black people. I'm gonna be real with you,
just the first part of the sentence. I don't know

(33:23):
why I said it. It's fucked up, y'all. Lie here,
it's real fun up. And then FDR mobilized the nation
to all make huge sacrifices in order to sucking. We
were rationing food, right, We're rashing milk to the point
that we started like dying less of heart disease because
we were rationing food so much. We stopped eating ourselves

(33:44):
to death, But yeah, we were willing to sacrifice because
that was called leadership. I'm surprised he didn't bring up
a Milania and eleanor comparison, right, that would have fucking
really iced it off. Um. And then the editor of
the fucking Federalist or one of them, Molly Hemingway, this

(34:04):
woman goes on and she even has like even lazier
fucking way to try and excuse all of this, which
is sort of like, what's the big deal, like bomb show,
listen to this one. It's so she does it so
casually though, like you know that the tactic they're doing
is to just be like if my face does if

(34:24):
my face doesn't change and my emotions don't change, is
I talk about something so objectively like objectively horrific, then
maybe people will take that energy on and look at
this issue the same way. So she does it with
a murderer's school, And in general, I think people should
be ready for this type of supposed bombshell to drop
every couple of days, because we're in the closing days
of an election or the last couple of months of
an election, and people are very interested in fighting President Trump.

(34:47):
But I'm not sure this is such a big deal.
We already knew that. President Trump thought this was serious.
He closed the border, he created a task force, he
declared a public health emergency. We already knew. In March,
he was asked, why are you so optimistic about it
or why are you downplaying it? He said, I don't
want to cause panic. I think that. In fact, if
there were criticism to be had against President Trump, it's
that he didn't do enough to stop those people who

(35:08):
tried to panic everything into shut down. Hey wow, she
really she she scooped that one out at the end.
I mean something. I mean you you The important thing
to remember is that just because he didn't want to
cause a panic, it's the same thing with FDR. It's like, yes,

(35:30):
he didn't want to cause a panic, and then he
did something important. He did the actual like rallying in
the country from now. Yeah. Yeah, the second half of
it is very important. You can't just be like, don't
panic by like you gotta do something. It's the second

(35:51):
half to leadership, and it's the part where you lead,
lead the people out of the fire, not just say
don't panic exactly don't panic. Well, it also leaves out
the context, right, that's like at his first inauguration, I think,
and that's basically saying, look, n we all know the

(36:12):
Great Depression is fucking us up, you know what I mean. Like,
so that acknowledgement is already there. It's like it's a
different being, like, yeah, man, it's fucked up. We can
all acknowledge it. It's fucked up, but we don't have
to fear this because we can do something bigger. Trumps
being the Trump equivalent to this would be to take
office in the midst of the Great Depression, be like,
there's no depression at all. And I think the haters

(36:33):
just want to say that to get you to hate
your your country, and it's a democratic hoax. It is
no dust bowl. Everyone's everywhere I go, people are well
fed the dust bowl. As I've seen the guys just
hitting Angel dust just it's it, really is, you know.

(36:53):
The just the lack of context and just being able
to like fling out these other presidents names as a
way to defend one's behavior is really is something else.
So yeah, the defense continues. Unfortunately, Sorry, I just got
sucked into a back and forth in the comments section
of a a thing on the Oregon fires. I can't

(37:17):
stop looking at the pictures from Oregon and northern California.
But just you got a comment black hole right there. Yeah,
then I just got sucked into a comment black hole
where somebody was pointing out that they're seeing people blame
Antifa for the fires, and then somebody was blaming a

(37:38):
a Democratic mayor for pissing Trump off so that he's
not releasing funds. They were like, she should have stayed
in her lane. Yeah, it's really, it's a mafia protection
racket at this point, the entire Trump administration. It's just like, oh,
it would be a shame if if I just let

(38:00):
the fires and go for your entire city. The only
way to stop that is to shut the funk up
and support me. I mean he's yeah, really, and he's
a shitty. He's like the cheddar Bob of Mata actually
fucked yourself in the leg at the club right exactly.
He's he's what you call he's Polly Walnuts from from

(38:24):
the Sopranos. Come listen. Polly is great, don't get me wrong,
but he's a moron. He talks too much, and he
is a coward, and he's not ever going to be
in a position of leadership, although this one, I know.
I love how the when the the series ends, like
one of his last shots, just him with that reflective

(38:45):
mirror getting a tan in front of Streaus and yeah,
and then the cat with the with the Christopher multisanti
soul in it walks back. Spoiler alert, the spoiler alert
Christopher Christopher turns into his turns into a cat. It
what happened to Cosette? It was just karma was meant
to happen, even though he thought she crawled under there

(39:06):
for warmth. No, he was smacked on heroin. Is that
scene where they show up with that whole episode with
the intervention with Elias Codius as like the interventionist. He's like,
aren't you blah blah blah, weren't you caught stealing radios?
And he's like, that was a long time ago. I'm
a lot different now. Anyway, this isn't your podcast, This

(39:30):
isn't the podcast. Season three coming out this week. But yeah,
let's move on. Let's move on. Let's take a quick
break and we'll come back and talk about Willie Nelson
smoking a joint on top of the White House. And

(39:54):
we're back. Uh, and there's a new documentary out about
Jimmy Carter his presidency. Uh, and like how he was
homies with like Bob Dylan and the Almond Brothers the
whole time, and people were just constantly like rolling through
and playing like live shows on the White House lawn
and it was apparently just a very fun time. It

(40:17):
was Jimmy Carter's secretly a really rad president and we
just don't hear about it because he was like, you know,
only a one term and president and relatively ineffective. Yeah.
I think basically he was. He was secretly like did
the least evil. Uh, was not like about it when
it came to like starting wars indiscriminately um, and he

(40:41):
just kind of hit at the wrong time as the
country was shifting towards fascism. He was like he was
he was too cold first Yeah, too cool first time.
Let's let's put it that way. I mean, he keep
he threw up the first solar panels on the White House.
He did took them right off. Boy, oh my god.

(41:01):
So one one myth or kind of urban legend that
I've been hearing for years was that Willie Nelson once
smoked a joint on top of the White House while
while he was visiting the White House, which seems like okay,
I can see it maybe like happening at a party,
like he just like snuck away. So there's this new
documentary about him being like this thoroughly like Christian religious,

(41:27):
Like I think he was a teetotal er, like didn't drink,
even though his brother was a public alcoholic, like like
a like they would book him as like a drunk
funny person to have on various radio shows or various
late night TV shows, and he would just like show
up drunk during Jimmy Carter's presidency and then eventually was like, oh,

(41:51):
I'm an alcohol and this isn't funny. Um. So in
this new documentary about his president's Carter explains that Willie
Nelson says that his companion that shared the pot with
him was one of the servants at the White House.
That is not exactly true. It was actually one of

(42:12):
my sons. Oh yeah, that rules. And so the documentarian
finds Chip Carter, Jimmy Carter's son at the time, who
was just like a teenager who like had good taste
of music. It was like this fucking rules man, Like
Dylan's always hanging out like one of the one of

(42:34):
the Almond brothers, like had dinner with them and then
like played a concert for like three people in the
White House. Like so anyways, he was listening in as
Willie Nelson was doing a show like for people in
the White House. And then this is what he says.
The date was September, so Sunday will be the forty

(42:57):
year anniversary. Carter was in the thing of his reelection
campaign against Ronald Reagan that didn't go well, and Iran
fifty two American hostages had endured more than a year
of captivity. Nelson was in the middle of a set
at the White House, recalls Chip. In the break, I said,
let's go upstairs. We just kept going up until we
got to the roof, where we leaned against the flagpole

(43:19):
at the top of the place and lit one up.
If you know Washington, the White House is the hub
of the spokes. The way it was designed, most of
the avenues run into the White House. You could sit
up and could see all the traffic coming right at you.
It was a nice place up there. Um. So yeah,
they just turned the roof of the White House into
like a fun place to get high um and now

(43:40):
Don Jr. Just does his coke farts up there. Oh
my god, gonna keep funning. Man, you gotta take that upstairs. Man,
that's so rad. Man. I feel like there should be
a book called like we were four Years in Power
by Tommy Chong for four years dude, the White House

(44:01):
Red Man Gravity Bong rips in the Lincoln Bedroom exactly sick.
I mean the people that played this is like, man,
like Charles Mingus, I'm already like, okay, you've got some
good jazz vibe with the Staples singers Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan,
Lauretta Lynn, Sarah Van Cezel Taylor, Linda Ronstead, the line

(44:25):
Crosby stills in nash once dropped by the place unannounced,
like it was like that where fucking David Crosby's asses.
Like Carter here he's dealing with the you're on a
hostage situation said, They said, Carter made time for them.
He was like, I'll call you back, I'll call you back.

(44:49):
He's like I told him, many, I really respect you.
Just one second, just six minutes, okay, guys, three four.
It's getting to the point it's like, what the fu
his house in Georgia had the most expensive sound system
of like back when that was like a thing. I
mean it's still a thing, but like the way they

(45:10):
describe it as pretty funny because it's all like you know,
wired and old school ship. But they he really focused
on the sound system. Yeah, he was an audio file man.
For him, he would have been criticizing the sound quality
of podcasts today if you were a younger person. That's
why he doesn't listen to him. I think he gave

(45:31):
that quote. He's like, it's just it's missing something, is
what he says. If it was on vinyl. I'd listen
to podcasts if they were on vinyl. The first hipster president,
that's sucking rules. There's also a way to view it
as like he was kind of a byway between the
radicalism of the sixties and early seventies and the yuppiism
of the eighties, since it was like you know, went

(45:54):
during Nixon and Ford, it was you know, the power
was against the people. Yeah, and then he turned to
the White House into what the article calls a people's park.
But like that ends up being the strategy capitalism uses
to infiltrate. Uh. Yeah, it is just like kind of

(46:17):
co opted. Yeah, exactly part of the thing. Bill Clinton
plays the saxophone and then passes like a monstrous crime bill, right,
meaningless Like you know, you get meaningless culture points without
any substantial material change to people's lives. Yeah, that's why I,
like any good American, I tryed to look too deep

(46:38):
in anything presidents do because it looks like it's all
just a big bummer. It is. It is definitely electoral
politics is a big bummer, dude. But I will say, hey,
at least Carter didn't sign a crime bill, you know
what I mean, Like they're like not doing terrible ship
at this point I consider to be almost like that's

(47:01):
it's not just a win, like that is what That's
what angels do. Angels go into power and then they
just don't do anything bad. And I'm like, foo, you
deserve to be get a sainthood for this. Yeah, don't
indiscriminately kill people. How does he do it? Yeah? Alright, guys,
let's talk about meth real quick, because this is just

(47:22):
kind of I think we've talked about the fact that
Goldberg from the Mighty Ducks, like you know, it's spotted
a problem. Yeah, he went down a deep spiral of
meth addiction Um and the photographs are truly the most
shocking uh before after pictures I think I've ever seen

(47:43):
of you know, him looking like a broken eighty year
old man um. But there are new pictures where he's
two and thirty eight days sober. This friend of his
has just been like trying to help him, like letting
him sleep on his couch, like get starting a go
fund me to like help get him help. He just

(48:05):
got some new veneers put in. And it's wild like
the fact that meth can you know, make you look
like a president on time lapse, like you know, age
you decades in a year. I think it's well established,
but it's wild that like he looks like he just
like turned back time. His face is no longer like crumpled.

(48:28):
Well yeah, yeah, he looking in some weight. It's just yeah,
the whole arc of it is really it's really tragic
because apparently it's all kicked off by his parents death
and it just kind of completely last shock. And also, man,
I don't know a single person who acted as a
child who I mean, it's unscathed. It is rare doing

(48:50):
being a child actor and not coming out the other
end was some type of issue or anything. Uh So yeah, yeah,
it's it's it's sad to see like the amount of
callousness too that we have towards child actors, because I
think there's like a little bit of resentment that everyone
has when it comes to famous kids because you're like, oh,

(49:10):
you think you're so fucking like everyone's jealous of children,
and then uh they you know, you start actively hoping
for their downfall. It's just a sick part of our
culture where once and then when you see it, you're
just like, yeah, yeah, that's what happens, dude, that's what
happens when you, you know, do do a good job,

(49:31):
do better than me, you know, fuck you. And then
now you know, I think people are starting to see
that the inherent uh sickness of the Hollywood system when
it comes to kids and uh And my hope is
that you know, some of this me too energy that
has has happened the last few years comes out and
we start, um just purging Hollywood of all of the

(49:54):
uh just the ghouls rules, yeah, the ones who have
who have been like abusing children for a long time. Anyway,
So I've been reading a lot about this guy Q
yeah said those drops are really cool, right, like n
when when it comes out, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that HBO
documentary Hollywood Kids or what it was about the kids

(50:15):
acting the young Like, no, I haven't seen it. It's
it's really good. It's it's really interesting because it like
follows a few different people at different points in their career,
like whether it's Evan Rachel Wood or like Marl Wilson
or even like kids who are right now trying to
get into acting, and like it shows you like how
some people like we're like, you know, I'm kind of lucky,

(50:36):
like I only had to do miss this amount of
school here and there, and it was okay. Other people
were like I completely didn't know who I was as
a person because I was sally addressed a certain way,
be a certain place like deal was, Yeah, it's it,
but it was a very interesting insight into all of that.
But yeah, a child actress, I think so yeah, yeah,
I think she was in the wasn't she in wasn't it?

(51:00):
Oh wow? That's why? Yeah, And and like, uh, I
mean there are some child actors who continue acting, I
mean Leonardo Dicapri and whatnot. But I think it's fair
to say that Leonardo DiCaprio was probably super fucked up.
I don't know, just because he likes to funk with
air pods in, yeah listen headphones, to have sex with

(51:25):
air pods in, and just kind of like squirrel to
turn it into like a sensory deprivation tank. There's another
person who happens to be in there, but you're trying
to keep them like, blew a cloud, let me vape,
Like fuck, this was the opposite of what I thought.
Fucking Leonardo. Yeah, I feel like that's why once a

(51:48):
part of time in Hollywood like that that version of him,
Like that's like so fragile. It's like I feel like
all actors have some of that, but yeah, you can't.
I mean we're in your entire like sense of worth
is based on someone telling you you're good enough via
casting in something that's like so intangible that like it

(52:11):
would be just as easy for somebody to be like, dude,
you're a joke. Like you you are so ridiculous, and
people probably have so it's just like woof brutal. Well,
I am out next week. Uh so I want to
do a Netflix rewatch Top ten of a series so

(52:33):
that when I come back, we can talk all. Wow,
So you so you're gonna have You're gonna go on
the lab and you're gonna digest one of these series series. Yeah,
so that's that's my plan. Uh, we'll see how it goes.
So I pulled like the top ten shows on Netflix,

(52:56):
like they they have a bunch of different lists, but
like the ones that keep showing up. Avatar the Last Airbender,
which people have been telling me to watch for a while.
Started that and it is good. It's definitely a children's show,
which is probably gonna get me, uh you know, just
shouted at. But uh, it's pretty dope. It was like,

(53:17):
I've only watched a few of the episodes. Um, Ozark,
I feel like is one that I've had so many
people whose taste I don't fully uh vibrate respect tell
me that it's like the best show. And I've been
telling you man and other people be like, yeah, it's

(53:40):
just like breaking bad for you an accountant or whatever
for an accountant, Yeah exactly. Um. And then Cobra Kai,
which is the one that has recently started. I just
started that last night. How is it? Oh, it's so good, dude,
of karate Kid exactly. If you love karate Kid, you'll

(54:03):
love Cobra Kai because guess what, they got clips of
karate Kid in the pilot, and the premise is so
good that I am just thankful that this wasn't just
a stupid funnier die like sketch that they did, because,
like the press, it was at one point, what didn't
Ralph Machio do a funnier die thing like that? I
mean that sounds like something that like it felt like

(54:25):
something like or ten tens viral video of mine being
like I think there was some It feels like like
the premise lends itself to something like that, and then
when you're watching it, you're like, oh, this is so
much better than just doing a stupid kind of like
doing an earnest uh take on the future of Johnny

(54:46):
from Cobra Kai is like it's beautiful and it's it's
so good. It's so good. Alright, So it's between Cobra
Kai and Avatar. I think I'm gonna watch Avatar for
sure and try to get to Cobra Kai. So you
don't respect my taste, is all I'm hearing. That's all saying,

(55:07):
fuck you, Matt yeah, fuck you, Matt. I'm not gonna
watch stupid Cobra Kai kids show. Stupid to me, I'm
gonna watch a kids show. No, I was just thinking
about all the ship I'm gonna get if I just
leave it at that's a kid's show, Avatars for kids. Yeah,
but the themes, themes, the themes are mature. Yeahce countries

(55:35):
of culture. I mean, that's why I'm gonna watch. I
think I'll watch both too. Okay, maybe we can just
do a full both rundown because between the two, I
was like, if he doesn't do one of them to
the other. But I'm also like, but I'm probably gonna
watch both anyway, So then maybe we'll give the people
what we want. Airbender showdown. How many seasons of Airbender

(55:56):
is there? Avatar think it's just one and then a
second one that isn't that but it's like called Cora
or something. Yeah, I think I could completely three seasons,
like I said, three seasons. Uh, and then there's a
different show but in the same universe. Okay, well that's

(56:21):
what that's what We're gonna watch. Them getting bent off
there already, man, uh, Matt. As always, it's been a
pleasure having you been great? Where can people find you
and follow you? Oh? You can find me on Instagram
at Matt leave jokes m A T T L I
e as an eagle b asn't boy jokes. Also, I'm

(56:41):
on Twitter at Matt Leap, but follow me on Instagram
because that's what's important these days. That is what's important.
Is there a tweet or some other work of social
media post on Instagram you've been enjoying? Yes? Um, I
very very much enjoyed this tweet by Andrea Moore at
a more underscore or less. Guys with big dicks are

(57:04):
bad at sex because they don't think they have to try.
Guys with small dicks are bad at sex because you
can't feel anything. And guys with medium dicks are bad
at sex because guys are bad at sex. Is uh
one of my favorite tweets is very very good. Oh. Also,
I have a Sopranos rewatch podcast pod Yourself a Gun

(57:26):
coming back third season. Um, this week it's back man. Yeah,
we'd love to have you back, Jack, we'd love to
have you on talking about Sopranos. I mean, if I
just said you'd let me have booked me right now?

I was like, I'll funk will when your series is,
but you gotta work with one of mine. And now
she's like, she's like having a real hard time understanding
Tony Blondetto's antics. Right now he's his cousin, but what

(58:10):
is he doing? Am I? Look? This is the thing man. Yeah,
it's a show that's so good that no matter how
much many times people tell you it's good and you
need to watch it, once you start watching it, you'll
be like, yes, this is a good show. And then
you're also like and also there's like a group of
racists who dismissed their own racism because of how racist
the character on the show or too. But if you're

(58:30):
smart enough, you could see that as a commentary rather
than like, exactly, that's what you can talk like that. Yeah, Miles,
where can people find you? What's the tweet you've been enjoying? Twitter?
