a good album. And then they did a couple of
Stadium Arcadium Yeah that it was almost like they were

(02:13):

that direction where it was just like bunging it's you

(02:39):
He looks yeah, and on the other side flourishing. I

my dad ones, Yeah, they lived together. This is Hollywood
storytell yo. So my dad used lively, Iggy Pop and
my yeah, because my godfather used to man as the
doors and he knew Iggy and was like, yo, like
Jim needs a place to crash or whatever. And my

(03:22):
dad had another bedroom and this dude was trying to
like cook something up on the stove who knows when,
I don't know, but left the fucking gas on the
stove and then passed out on the couch and my
dad woke up to like take a piss in the
middle of night and the fucking entire apartment was filled
with gas. Yeah, and like he got up and like
went over the thing that they were on all high
to turn him off, and he's like, Yo, what the

(03:44):
fun is? Like what and he's like maybe going to
smoke a cigarette? You know. Anyway, So that's Hollywood stories
with Miles and you would not be here if Iggy
Pop had lit that cigarette. Yeah, that's a cool origin story, bro.
Or if the weather was worse and uh, you got
to actually became one of the Adam bomb targets right
in World War two. Anyway, we hung by a thread, y'all. Yeah,

(04:06):
we really do weather and uh yeah, there's this movie
all about what we're talking about called The Butterfly Fact.
Everybody should check out. Good for you because I was
in college I think when that came out. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
your mind. We're gonna talk a little bit more to you, Jackie,

(04:31):
but before we do that, we're gonna tell our listeners
what we're going to be talking about today. We're going
to talk about Drake's latest relationship. He is dating a
girl who graduated from high school a couple of weeks ago,
So that's weird Nike stock all time high manifort about
to give it all up. We are going to update
you on the New York primary, something we were talking

(04:51):
about at the end of last week. I'm going to
admonish you all to get your flu shots. We're going
to talk about these vague Cuba x on the diplomats,
which continues to be a story that seems to be developing.
The direction of their real Russia was targeting us. Uh
So I'm gonna talk a little bit more about why
I don't believe that. We're gonna talk about what the

(05:14):
heirs to the booze industry are putting their money in,
and other things. There's a poll that pulled all Americans
about what they thought the strongest brands were in various categories.
We're going to talk about that. It's a lot of fun,
somewhat surprising answers there, and of course we will round
things up with Floyd Water. But first, Jackie, what is

(05:37):
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well,
I am trying desperately to become a plant lady, so
I've been googling a lot of how do I keep
this plant from dying? Yeah, I bought a rubber tree,
and it's just really unhappy. It's really really sad in
my house, and it's devastating me. I don't know what

(05:57):
to do. Are y'all plant people know? I'm sure somebody
in the zeit getting our audiences, uh, and we can
help you out. I don't know. Is it an indoor plant.
It's an indoor plant. Here's what's happening. So all the
leaves are trying to fall off. So I google the leaves. Okay,
so yes, so all the all the leaves are brown,
and my sky is great because I can't get these leaves.

(06:21):
They're all falling off. So I google rubber tree plant
leaves falling off and it's as well. It could be
not enough water, too much water, too much sun, not
enough sun. You could have a disease. I'm like, motherfucker,
what is it? Isn't helping me? I only know is
the plant is very sad, and it's making me feel
like a terrible nurturing person because the plant is unhappy
in my home. Whenever I do that, I blame the

(06:42):
nursery where I got the plant. Well, I already went back.
I went back and I confronted the man. What they say, Well,
he said, well, you gotta water. You're not watering it enough,
You're not watering consistently, and he's a corn of water awake.
And then they're like, well you overwatered it. And I'm like,
he told me a corn water away. That's a lot
to me. Is so, I don't know. I'm just really sad.

(07:03):
My other plant I bought is doing really well. But
this rubber tree is sad. And it was not cheape.
It was several hundred dollars. I'm being honest. It's really nice.
Now is your plan to eventually manufacture your own rubber
and make like artismal tires for your not a bad idea.

(07:24):
I am a big shark tank fan, okay, but from
I just wanted better air quality and then a nice
chic aesthetic for my home. It was more just a
creative eye. I'm looking at pictures and very chic google
pink rubber tree plan. If you that's what I have
specific uber, you better believe it is cute. Wow. I mean,

(07:47):
but imagine it really wilted and sad. Why is it unhappy?
I've moved it all around. I'm like, maybe it's not
getting enough son, I moved it closer, and then it
started getting like little crisp. The edges of the plant
start to kind of crisp up in the and then
they're like, there's too much salt in the water. You
gotta use filtered water. Nobody told me you got to
use filtered water. Why didn't the guys tell me that.

(08:09):
The nurse or used on. Oh, do not use heavy on.
It's got to be Fiji. Tell me. I'm such an amateur.
You know these are for the faint of heart. I
just wanted to be a plant lady. Can I recommend
uh succulent? I have to kill. Yeah, we just have

(08:31):
some like from early, like our first house. We're like
living in our third house right now, and they just
keep growing. No, we've just like moved between a drifters.
It's not bracking the It's crazy how much they grow.
They're just and you don't have to water them very much.
No you can't. It's almost like a challenge. You're like, yeah,

(08:53):
I try and not water. I see what happens. I'll
get fucking stronger. I've forgotten about mine for a good
month or two and they're fine. Yeah, but it was
good for air purification if you're time air puia, snake plants.
Snake plants, snake plant have snake I don't know. This
guy sold him to me kind of a van and

(09:13):
difference in your air quality. But yeah, one of the
actual snake plant. You know, they say is good for
indoor air quality because for a while, remember last year,
I thought I had carbon monoxide poisoning. Oh yeah, and
then her majesty, my girlfriend was like, let's just try
and get some better plants in here, and that helped
a little bit. Oh are they hard to kill though?
Let me no, no, no, snake plants are fucking stround. Yeah,

(09:37):
look like they could be uh succulents, like a type
because they have that like thick rigid leaf. Do you
know how much sun they need? Barely any? Okay, I
might have to get one of those for the bedroom.
Actually awesome. And you just feed them mice and they
and I give it a blood offering every other week.
So does it have to be virgin blood, virgin metal?

(09:58):
We'll see. Jack, he wanted some that you think is overrated.
I think bacon is overrated. I just really have grown
to despise bacon culture. Bacon culture. Yeah, bacon culture for sure.
You know, like you guys are like I love uh,
don't you know? I like pigs, but bacon or like

(10:19):
it could be vegetarian, but bacon, like bacon shirts and bacon,
toothpaste and bacon. I've had it. You know what you're
eating when you're eating bacon, You're eating a damn dog.
Pigs are dogs, You're eating a damn dog. I am,
but you know what, it's specifically bacon. If you want
to eat what you want to eat, do you. I'll

(10:40):
do me. But I'm sick of the bacon stuff. You're
eating that damn three year old child. Now you're talking
about like intelligence levels or do you believe in a
conspiracy theory where pigs are dogs? I think I wish
that were the cakes. Actually, I'm not mad at that.
I'm not mad at that. I'm going to research that

(11:02):
pigs are dogs straight up. But they are though kids,
That's what I'm saying. But they're very dogs. You're eating
a dog, and that's fine if you're not a dog fan,
But if you like dogs, don't eat bacons like a
pig's belly. My I'm from Dallas and my mother is

(11:25):
like an ex rodeo queen, and we had pigs and
horses and cows, chickens and all these things. That really
is a dog to Pugsley, my Vietnamese pig, he lived
in the yard, but they're literally dogs. Like how many
times have you seen a cute pig video come across
Twitter and it's a little pig running around the house
and we all think it's adorable, And then the first

(11:47):
comment is some assholet will that bacon looks good. I'm like,
get adding here, man, get out of here. I'm sick
of bacon culture. Get it out of you're saying yesterday,
because we were talking about to seeing urban fitters as
like a wine glass holder for your shower, and it
was reminding of like when bacon culture just remember control,
like bacon shirts and then restaurants like and there's that

(12:10):
one place in the in Vegas like the like clog
whatever that was like bacon grease everything like now. And
also I hope you have that septic system in check
over there and you have all that grease? What is
something you think it's under ridden? Sunscreen so very practical.

(12:30):
I like this, Okay, Well, on Matchbute, we always talk
about sunscreen and sun protection. And I feel a lot
of us are linking, Oh, I'm not outside that much.
I don't need sunscreen. We all should be wearing it daily,
getting everywhere. Right now in this beautiful studio, the sun
is hitting our arm is. You know, the sun is
the number one public enemy. Just go outside, you feel

(12:52):
it on you, You You feel and it stings. I feel
like it feels different than it did when I was
a kid. Yes, I am okay, but we are recording
at one am. That's why I'm like when you said, yes,
I requested a late night recording sense, but honestly, everyone
out there, you need to be wearing a daily sunscreen.

(13:13):
You both look right, but definitely sunscreen. Sunscreen. I do
occasionally see you need to we need to up to game.
I just but we take our youth for granted. Take
it from ten years from now, we're going to be
like I wish I take my melanin for granted. And
then my nurse friend was like, you think you can't

(13:33):
get burnt because you have melanine, or you think you
can't get sun damage because you're the color of your skin.
And I was like, well, that's what my mom always
told me. As a kid because my mom is very
fair skin Japanese, but my dad is black. So you know,
I'm like, okay, I'm rocking the little tan. I don't
I've never I don't really get sunburned too often. But
when she was like sort of schooling me on the
science because I am not a scientist, I was like, oh, right,

(13:55):
that's just me thinking that's what it is. When the
sun damage is real. It doesn't matter matter what shade
you are, you gotta skin cancer. Yeah, no matter how
you gotta, you gotta love up with that screen. I
mean you gotta, I mean, at the very least, to
go out there for anything, just to maintain your youthful exuberance. Yes,
you know what I mean. I love the skin you're in.

(14:18):
I walk around with an umbrella. I walk around with
an umbrella over me, right, yes, thank you. That's physical,
some protection, and that's probably the best option on you.
See my mom when she drives, she fucking she's driving.
She's like driving into the center of the earth, respect arms,

(14:39):
gloves all the way, respecting face, sheel visor because she's
you know, she's out here trying to make sure she's
getting every inch of mileage at her right there. Yeah,
I gotta get me some driving gloves. Oh yeah, go
to Koreatown or go to Dice, so you know where
the Asian stuff is sold. I'm finally, what does a myth?
What something people think is true? Okay? So I think,

(15:03):
what do we do when we get a jury duty notice?
We get upset. We try to get out of it,
because we all are told jury duty sucks. Everybody out
there go to jury duty to jury duty. I did mind,
after of course, postponing it as many times as I could,
and I went, of course, and I went, and I

(15:25):
learned more about our justice system, the human condition, How
are everything works. I mean, I've walked out of a
changed person and I'm so glad i went. I know
it can suck to miss work and all you know,
it can cause him inconvenience, But consider attacks to be
in this great nation. Baby, got a jury duty? Do it?

(15:45):
So you can also be actually a jury of someone's peers,
because you never know the kind of jurious people face.
Do not be looking like the defendants sometimes, and sometimes
there's homogeneous thinking in a jury room. Sometimes you need
somebody to bring people to the light. And wouldn't you
want that if you were on trial, you would want
people who were invested and wanted to do it. Just
think about that, put yourself in their shoes and go

(16:07):
to jury duty. Jury duty. We all say it sucks.
Jackie Jay says it's great even though you only get
like thirteen cents a day, but just do it. You
said that and froze afterwards, like you were in a
p s A like that. Actually froze. I use a
lot of hands. Yeah, it's great. Consider myself a Mariah

(16:28):
kind of yeah, yeah, spirit fingers go to Jerry duty.
You guys. It's also like it's a little excused break
from work where you are experiencing life at a different pace.
I've always been dismissed or I've been in the waiting
room the whole day and never you put on a
con Yeah, I mean that also happens, and you just don't. Yeah,

(16:50):
read a book. I used to win before, like iPads
and smartphones. I had like I would just bring scripts
like screenplays because they were like he's just fucking fly
through and then you're like it's a movie. Yeah yeah,
And now I got the iPad or whatever, your phone,
you know, whatever, do what you gotta do. Yeah, contribute
to your civic duty. Alright, guys, let's talk about Drake.
He is dating a young woman, Jimmy Jam's daughter who

(17:13):
just graduated from high school, which seems too young. Drake
is thirty two, you guys, she's eighteen. Yeah, she's eighteen.
Come on, Drake, how old are you? Mentally broad So,
this is a thing that I've been thinking about because
he has that line in uh God's Plan where he
says I only love my mom and my bed girl,
I'm sorry, which is like, that's like a sentiment for

(17:35):
a night. Yeah, essentially like a teenager geory because you
gotta sleep. That's why you love the bread, right, and
you love your mama. But yeah, and it's like a
key moment. It's like the dopest moment in the song.
It's like he's like, and now I'm going to drop
how I really feel, and it's I like to sleep
in and I love my mommy, I only love my
blankie and I'm sorry. Well you know, I don't know.

(18:06):
I you know, it's it's there's nothing illegal about it.
But it's just odd for me to think, at my age,
in my thirties to be with someone who is a
technical teenager would be like I remember dating someone who
had not seen the first Batman with Michael Keaton and
they only knew George Clooney as Batman, and I was like,
what the fuck, Well, they also have bad taste in movie. Yeah, yeah,

(18:28):
but it was yeah, yeah, But I guess those are
kinds of things. I'm just sort of like, we have
no there's no real cultural touchstones we agree upon. But
I don't know. I don't either. It's probably a combination
of her being probably very mature. She's probably about twenty four,
the mind of a twenty four year old, and he's
the mind of a twenty four year old. But doubt
but she is the child of a celebrity who is

(18:48):
also a model. And we were saying that models have
to grow up really fast. Whereas child started like stunted,
are stunted as reversed at least people want to or
modeling seem to have aged much quicker or like in
a bad way. Yeah, it's like the industry is not.
You've already been to rehab like twice by the time

(19:10):
you hit like twenty two, right, And with child actors,
you're kind of in a perpetual state of childhood. Essentially
everything's been done for you don't really know you. Whatever
age you were when you like hit is how you
are forever. That's what I've heard before, So that could
make sense. Why do I mean, y'all are man? Why
do men do that? Like look at Scott Dissick. Yeah,

(19:30):
you know she's a teenager too, and he has three
children that I think you're a scumbag kind of yeah,
and I think it's a number. Well. I hate to judge.
I don't want to judge, but there is a thing
about an older guy and a younger woman. She's very impressionable.
They seek out that personality, They seek out a person

(19:53):
in that stage of their life to be with, and
I don't like it. I'm uncomfortable with it. Ask somebody
who's been there. I mean, I remember being twenty one
and like the already five year old guys would hit
on me and I was like, I don't know that.
That feels weird to me, Like you know, also like
what's wrong with you? That's what I'm saying. They seek
out for some reason, you know, someone very young and
impressionable for whatever reason. So I don't know, Drake, are

(20:15):
you Okay, man, Yeah, what's going on? I don't know, man,
Is he still recovering from that story about that push,
the t flaming, that heartbreak? I don't know. I don't
know if he's ready to be a dead who else?
It's freaking Leonardo DiCaprio. His his girlfriends get younger and younger,
and yes, does he look good, yes, high Leo. But
his girlfriends are like, I think the last one was

(20:36):
nineteen and he's in his late forties, and they're like,
what's Titanic? Right? Right? For sure? I think it's like
dudes who are threatened by like maybe strong women their equals.
And I wonder also, like how much, because a big
part of celebrity is just being able to never have

(20:59):
anybody say a bad ship to you ever, and just
being able to have everybody worships She'll never call you
out on your ship. But also, like I wonder if
there's some overlap between like dudes who work really hard
to get to that celebrity who are also like that's
the type of person they're comfortable being around, is like
yes men and people who are just gonna submit to

(21:19):
their will a little bit. The only reason I would
think this relationship would work or the one, the version
I would like to think it is is where she
like just bosses him around. Right, shut up, we don't
know anything about it's over here, baby. Yeah. I mean
she might be just a really strong personality. She's like,
your last album sucked, bro, I didn't even get the

(21:40):
first ten tracks on Scorpion? What was that about. I
really hope that's how it works. I would love that.
Then then I'm like interesting, and and then I'm also
kind of like okay, Drake. Either way, it's an interesting
it causes it's a it's a it's a discussion starter.
When y'all were eighteen, were you? Were you a good person? Like?
Were you? I feel like I didn't know anything when

(22:01):
I was eighteen, and I was a nightmare. But I
thought I knew every same. I was a complete nightmare,
which makes you a danger my eighteen year old? Yeah, same.
I just I just feel like I don't know. I'm
sure she's great, but honey, all I'm gonna say is
when you're thirty, you're gonna go, oh my god, I
was you know? Yeah, I didn't know anything. When I've

(22:21):
seen what I thought the greatest achievement I could have
was getting a head while playing video games and smoking
weed at the same time. I'm not joking. I'll be like, yeah,
that's the fucking ways, right, eighteen you really sweet to
pull off At eighteen. Yeah, at eighteen it was like, yeah,
it was like a big gas like like recliner and
I'm like, yeah, it's like a flash screen, like no,
it's a projector I'm playing FIFA oh four on that ship.

(22:44):
I don't know. Yes, eight eighteen year old dreams are
not good, So there's an issue. There's an issue for Yeah, um,
Nike stock is at an all time high. We're just
gonna keep keeping an eye on how Nike. He's performing
since the Colin Kaepernick campaign because the president and his
acolytes wanted to point out that people were protesting and

(23:06):
nobody was gonna buy Nike. Turns out that's not true,
and Nike stock is at an all time high. And ever,
some schools are trying to like severed ties with him.
I think the University of Georgia they were trying to
be like, we don't want to do that, and like
the a c LU was like, uh, you can't do that.
What the political thing is anyway, the only schools I've
heard actually doing it are really small, like Christian schools

(23:29):
in you know, rural places. Wow, it's because that that
will learn him, that'll learn him. I guarantee you Jesus
would be rocket Nike's right now. He would go buy
a pair right now. Yeah, the air air Christ Jesus,
we call those air Jordan's Jack, That's exactly. And I'm
wearing them our Lord Man of Fort. So he he

(23:51):
has his second trial coming up, and he just didn't
want smoke. Friday, Bob Muller put some documents out that
basically laid out the case of his conspiracy to defraud
America charge or basically which that's that's not something you
want your record. But anyway, people finding out about Yeah,
we were talking last week about him possibly taking a plea,

(24:12):
and then it looks like Friday it happened, took the lea.
And part of that agreement involves quote fully and truthfully
cooperating with Robert Muller and so. And I think also
another thing is like there's like a tenure cap on
like whatever sentence or a prison sentence he would serve,
and possibly dropping the remaining charges I don't know if
that means the charges he was already convicted of in

(24:32):
Virginia or the ones that he was about to face
in d C. But either way, he's about to flip.
And here we go, is all I gotta say, Because
he's got I'm sure he has a lot to say,
even though the White House was like, this has nothing
to do with the President, like, sure, maybe this charge
does it, but the cooperation part, I'm sure we'll have
plenty to do with it. Yeah, the Republicans were kind

(24:53):
of with some wishful thinking, reporting that he might be
pleading guilty because he didn't want to do a big
trial around the mid terms and he was going to
take one for the team for the GOP. Yeah, and
they forgot that the student is willing to sell anyone
out to temporarily better his situation. And yeah, a lot

(25:16):
of people are going to see this. This, this is
gonna be bad. This reminds me of an episode of Homeland,
but it's real, Yeah, you know what I mean, Like
this is crazy, this is wild, and all the stuff
he's been through already, Like they froze all his accounts,
they went through his apartment, his house, members of his family,
like they changed telling you like, this is nuts, but

(25:38):
it's our real, real life. I just wish Mandy Patinkin
was actually involved in this character, right it was? Did
you watch it all the way? I stopped after a
while a season two got weird, I got all the
way and then three I was like two episodes and
I was like, that's exactly where I stopped. Yeah, I

(25:59):
will tell you where that show where I was like, oh,
this show is going to start to suck now was
when they brought that dude back from the dead in
the seventh episode of the first season. I was just like, Oh,
this doesn't make sense anymore. You guys are just like
making this up as you go along. They just brought
someone back from the dead, like it was fucking right.
I don't know. I don't know why I fell off,

(26:19):
but I'm interested and I'll probably revisited it once I'm
you know, sick or something for an extended period of time.
And Jackie, your hand gestures are great. I just want
to convey them to the audience when there's a really
good one. When you said Manafort has his whole family,
you made like little cockroach skittering motion with your hands
for the entire man scattering away. Yeah, the gesticulation, and

(26:43):
it's amazing. So I just want to make sure everyone
thank you. All Right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back. And so, uh,
last week New York primaries happened. Nixon only got of

(27:06):
the vote. We keep writing Nixon on our dock and
that's confusing to me. Yeah, was like Cardi B supporting Nixon.
I was like, what the this is really strange. But yeah,
so Cynthia Nixon, uh, and Cardi B lost to Cuomo

(27:29):
and nach Niki. Yeah, I mean I think a lot
of people, uh definitely came out for Cuomo. And I
think we're responding to the idea that you know, Cynthia Nixon,
you know, I didn't have the experience or whatever, even
though she had the ideas. But I think one thing
to take away from the whole primaries that like, by
her running, she pushed Cuomo to the left like ways

(27:51):
that I didn't think I would hear. You wouldn't think
that he would be talking about like marijuana legalization or
restoring voting rights for felons and things like that. That's
always the benefit of people on you know, super progressive
candidates running because it has an effect on the opponent,
and even down ballot where a lot of there were
plenty of progressive victories down ballot, like where Julius Salazar

(28:14):
one state Senate race, which is like I don't think
there was a more like covered state Senate but yeah,
she's twenty seven years old ds a candidate, so people
there was like all sorts of scandals about like who
she had an affair with or like like all this
she's like an assault from like the David Keys, like

(28:34):
the foreign affairs spokes person for Israel. Or there was
also like a Keith Hernandez thing, the former baseball player,
like where she was some person of interest in his divorce.
But it's all just stupid ship that I feel like
if she was more mainstream, might not have gotten so
called out, or if she wasn't, you know, running so

(28:55):
far from the left, people wouldn't have given a ship
about a state Senate race. But you know it's a
threat to the establishment. Yeah, and so they'll pull out
all the fucking stops. Yeah. Um yeah, the guy David
he's the spokesperson to foreign media for the Prime Minister
of Israel and then on Thursday last Thursday, he was like,
I'm taking a leave of absence to full time protect myself.

(29:16):
Is that he said, yeah, or to fight these charges
or something. Okay, but yeah, way, something isn't it. It
seems to be why I don't know much about the
New York political scene. I'll be honest as a Californian.
But what's the deal with Cuomo? Like, is he a
bad dude? Yeah, he's a shitty He's a shitty politician.
That's so sad because go Cinthia Nixon being that would

(29:38):
have been really dope as a huge Sex and City fan,
also a woman LGBT. I mean, she wraps all the
cool stuff. It's sad. I don't like that. And t
I finally learned who she was. I just wonder about Steve.
You know where is Steve? Alright? Miranda happened to that guy? Oh?

(29:59):
I see him at mergial auditions? Yeah yeah, I mean
books commercials, if you watch them you'll see yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just have to be you know, you see that
the thing. It's like that that thing with the gorilla,
where if you're not looking for it, you don't see
it spot. I need to be looking for Steve YEA. Yeah,
I see a lot of celebrities from like the late
nineties early two thousand's at my commercial editions and a

(30:22):
lot of America's Next Top Model finalists. Oh really about
who bid? No, she's a real housewife now she is? Yeah,
Real Housewives of Atlanta, she's about to be the new edition.
Really telling you she's herself since they spread all that
mess about Candy being a Lisbian? Who's did remember? Is

(30:43):
one of my favorite interactions on Real Housewives of Atlanta?
All right, who say? Who say that? Who's so good?
It's like a gift? I'm pretty sure now, such a funny.
Whoever edited that sequence is genie? People who edit those

(31:04):
shows are such assholes because they manipulate the ship out
of that foot age just for like the best value
entertain But it's our most talented editors are working in
the Real Housewives of Atlanta. To sit through all that footage,
then well there's transcribers. A lot of my weird like
actor friends that need with the yeah also have story

(31:28):
producers on the show to who are like just map
it out for him there, like, Okay, here's a little thread,
we can mind blah blah blah. Anyway, it's really an art. Yeah,
it is an art. They make a lot of bullshit
look like reality story editors on realities make good make
good cash. So a story I wanted to just bring
up because we're coming up on flu season and we
talked about it last flu season. But uh, I think

(31:49):
one of our guests said, like, flu shots are a myth.
I you know, I said I don't get them. I
didn't know. I didn't. Well maybe someone may have said that,
but I said, I never got I never got the flu,
So why don't you get the flu shot? And then
I was shamed and I got the flu shot because
I'm They're like, hey, you fucking idiot. Have you heard
of herd immunity? Yeah. I had to be sort of
in touch with my own privilege of my own health,

(32:10):
because I think just because I don't have it doesn't
mean I can't carry it. In fact, so we and
a lot of our listeners are young people in the
prime of our health, and so we you know, telling
yourself that we might get the flu, but it'll just
like knock us down for a couple of days or whatever.
Young people and the elderly, though will young young young young, young,

(32:33):
very young children and the old can die from the flu.
It's one of the biggest killers of people in that demographic.
And also you can be a carrier of the flu
virus without showing any symptoms, and so you might be
if you don't get the your flu shots, you will

(32:53):
be more likely to be carrying that disease and passing
it around. And yeah, you can be killing people and
never allies, you're doing it because you didn't get you
could be killing people. Seriously though, no, no, it's true.
I'm telling you. I have to. It's it's a tough
thing to like let go of like your own ego,
because I had a health ego right from like that
ship for weak ass motherfucker's I never got, so I

(33:17):
don't need that ship. And I was thoroughly dragged deservedly
by the Zei gang and my healthcare professional friends of mine,
who I said, that ship too, and I realized too,
I am, like I said, and scientifically illiterate. And if
you are not a fucking expert on any of this ship,
you shouldn't have hot takes on ship like this because
you don't know what But yes, please do care about

(33:40):
other people. Well, I will say that this past year
or this year was a record cold and flu season.
It was really, really, really rough. We had several dats,
we got real gnarly. I'm a huge hand washer, yes,
and that I want. Yes, I've been had a washing basin. Next,
I bring us ink with me. I recommend everyone out

(34:03):
there to google how to wash your hands, because most
of us aren't doing it correctly. You're supposed to wash
for a good amount of time. Don't forget your thumbs,
don't forget under your rings and your fingertips to fingertips
in between your fingers. Take a moment and really wash
clean them because that's a lot of the way it's transferred. Also,
train yourself to not touch your face. Yes, I didn't

(34:25):
get sick this cold and flu. I haven't been sick
once this whole year. And you haven't touched your face
all years. I haven't touched my face once you put
gloves on it. And I do a full has matt
when I do my I cream at night, like when
they put babies, you know, when you put the little babies. Yeah,
uh yeah, I swaddle. You know about the hand washing thing?

(34:46):
I remember when I was a kid, my orthodonist, when
who washed his hands before like an examples, like look
at this fucking fool crazy handwhing because he was like
doing the finger thing where I thought he was doing
like give me some money, you know, rubbing your fingers
is kind of thing. And then I was like, I
was like, is that way we're supposed to watch your hands?
It's like, well, I'm putting my hands in your mouth,
so i'd imagine my finger. He like was very patronizing,

(35:08):
but I was like, that's true for that, and then
I always like, kind of do this thing now and
really get in mind. Did he keep the hands up
when it came out? It isn't. He wasn't scrubbing into
the r he went raw dog or didn't put gloves on?
You were gloves? Yes? Oh sh Was he like your neighborhood?
It was it was like out behind the target. Yeah, yeah,

(35:35):
I think and I think you know, some people I
think think that flu shots are one of those things.
I think there's some anti vaxers who will tell you
that flu shots like create super flues and ship like that,
and so the way that that actually works is there
are like we do take too many antibiotics, and bacterial
infections do create like superbugs. Uh so you shouldn't be

(35:58):
taking antibiotics and less your doctor actually prescribes them to you.
That is like something that they're working on too, because
there is an arms race between antibiotics and you know,
germs basically. But flu is a vact or the flu
is a virus, and that is it's not one of
those things where by getting a flu shot you are

(36:19):
hurting the or you're creating some super flu which had
also come on. And look, unless you a motherfucking scientists
doing this research, who are you to have then argue
with the people that have been doing it? Right? So,
I want to talk about one of my favorite stories
that we've been following from the early days of of
the zeitgeist here. Uh So, there is more and more

(36:43):
news coming out, or more and more stories being written
about these attacks on diplomats in Cuba. Now the latest
version of the story is that Russia is behind the attacks.
That that was actually a headline Russia is behind the
attacks and and CIA fears so so what a masterful headline, right,

(37:05):
So I think they're hoping you don't see that last
he says CIA. Maybe yeah, and you won't believe what
the CIA thinks and that they're saying that this is
based on communications that were intercepted by them between Russia
and Cuba and they're not significant or concrete enough for

(37:26):
them to report anything. So because what they're trying to say,
like it may have been an unforeseen side effect to
like new surveillance equipment they had. That's one of the theories.
It's just all series, right, So for people who don't
know the story or like what what we're talking about,
A couple diplomats, who it turns out, are like basically

(37:48):
CIA agents who are just down there under diplomatic cover,
started hearing weird sounds and started experiencing symptoms. Now the
symptoms are a cloud of vague symptoms hearing loss, tonitis, vertigo, headaches,
and fatigue, which is a pattern that they say is
consistent with mild traumatic brain injury, but other people have

(38:09):
pointed out it's also consistent with aging or getting really
fucked up at a corn show. Then yeah, yeah, exactly,
hearing loss. You just oriented off balance, got the head
too much for local, too much for local. So pro
Publica did deeply reported deep dive into the origins of
this story, like when it was first reported, who reported it,

(38:31):
what the actual cases were that that happened, and so
at first there were like a bunch of people who
started saying they were having the same symptoms and they
were experiencing weird sounds, and eighty different families like came
forward and we're like, I think I'm having the thing,
and only twenty two were diagnosed as having the symptoms.

(38:55):
So already you have a bunch of people who thought, like,
the symptoms are vague enough that eight people were like,
I think I have it, and then that would be
though I always think I have whatever. Yeah, yeah, And
there's also the Cuban government has been cooperating completely with
the investigation. They're like, look, we we thought things were

(39:16):
going well between us uh, and so they've let they've
cooperated with everything. They haven't been able to find any
evidence that even this technology exists, and the fact that
the reports of the attacks don't even really resemble each other.
Always like one person thought it was coming from his
garden area and that it sounded like Cicada's and then
another reported a high pitched mechanical sound that like hit

(39:38):
him in the middle of the night in his bed.
Um and yeah, so it's just it's this really like
blurry thing that I don't know. It does seem though,
like that. There's this podcast I listened to called Rational
Security where it's all these national security experts and they
like seem to even be buying into this, like they
were talking about it like, well, clearly this has had

(40:00):
the name. Okay, I understand you don't you don't believe
the CIA's reasoning here, but what you what is your
what is your belief their motivation to blame this on
the Russians. I think they're basically experiencing a mass psychogenic thing,
like a mass case of mass hysteria, which is not

(40:21):
as uncommon or strange as people think it is. Um.
And then I think they're trying to come to terms
with the fact that they are experiencing that. And that's
a very like vulnerable thing to have happened to you,
is where you're like having, you know, socially communicable event happened.
And I think like the national security apparatus, the like

(40:42):
the experts on these things are probably wanting to take
each other seriously. They don't want to believe that they
don't be like, yo, shut the funk up there, he's
always Yeah, so when you're here in those cicadas again,
we are sick of area. Oh wait, what happened to
the bottle of four roses that emptied itself last night?

(41:03):
And you got a big corn in the new Corn album.
Uh So there are a few things that are are
kind of unrelated that kind of inform my understanding of this.
So first, just all the different stories of mass hysteria
that I wrote about back at Cracked or edited articles
on back at Cracked, and the placebo effect having like

(41:26):
way more dramatic physical effects than should be possible based
on like reason alone, Like a red pill will work
worse than a blue pill is a sleeping pill, even
though they're pharmacologically identical, because the placebo effect basically, but
like it's not like you're thinking about the pill as
you go to sleep. It's just like some weird thing

(41:47):
in the back of your mind. So there's all sorts
of ship like that that doesn't make sense. Like I'm
sure these people who are experiencing these symptoms fully believe
they've been attacked, and like I'm not saying that, like
they're just pooring it because they're trying trying to get
attention or something. They all feel like they're having some
ship happened to them. There's also this really interesting article

(42:08):
from John Lacar, the spy novelist, who was himself a spy,
and he wrote in The New Yorker about his time
as a spy in Europe and how like all the
different people in like who are working with him would
like lose their mind basically because like they were doing
like this guy brought him along on a information drop

(42:30):
where they like went to this bar and they were
like supposed to meet up with someone and they like
said a weird like uh, like the eagle has landed
and dropped the briefcase and then walked out, and he
like later found out the guy was just like making
it up, and like know that guy was just some
random dude playing pool, And it was just basically like
people would create these stories and like make these high

(42:51):
stakes situations for themselves because everything's like so shady and
like the reality around you is like such so shifting.
Stay yeah, then like they just like created these realities.
So like a lot of the James Bond shit that
like you hear spies talk about like might be them
putting those implications on those things. And then there's also

(43:14):
this thing that I've looked into before of like loud
sounds that come out of nowhere, because I was doing
this video on YouTube about like these weird situations where
people would suddenly like hear what sounded like a thousand
trumpets coming out, and like everybody would like stop and
like try and figure out where it was coming from,

(43:35):
and like you really couldn't. Like sometimes they would figure
out it was coming from a construction site, but it
would be a construction site like two towns over. So
basically it's just like sound travels and really weird ways,
and like you you can get hit with like a
random sound. It's not clear like where it's coming from,
you know. Right, those are like videos in Canada, right
where like people are looking out the window and right,

(43:57):
can you hear that? Yeah? I remember, Well there's yeah,
there's a very specific case where there's a town in
Canada that's across the river from a factory on the U.
S side of the river. That is like the people
feel like they're being like assaulted with this sound, but

(44:17):
like you can't hear it sometimes and you can only
hear it in like a specific house on the block.
It'll just be like this random beam of sound that
seems to like be hitting them, and it's I think
it's infrasound, which is like only barely audible to the
naked ear to to most people. So it's just those
three factors, mass ysteria, placebo effects being like way more

(44:39):
having actual dramatic physical effects throughout history, the fact that
I think spies specifically, and the fact that these are
mostly CI agents who are experiencing this like they live
this high stakes, weird, shadowy existence where like the right
it's easy to lose your grasp on rea. And then finally,

(45:01):
like just the weirdness of like how sounds travel make me.
Those are the three things that I think when I
sit back, I'm like, why do I still think this
isn't true when all these smart people are starting to
believe it's a Russian attack? Like, those are the three
details that I think are informing that, all right, this
is like some Yanni and Laurel ship. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
it is a little. I think the mind is very malleable.

(45:24):
You know, Uh, did anybody do a cover song about
um like Havana attacking I make a cover song out
of everything. Wow, that was really good. We we need
to wet that. I think we have good excellent throw
that in on the next update that I'm fine with that. Alright,

(45:49):
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. And how is the booze industry dealing?
The booze industry legal marijuana? I mean, look, they know

(46:09):
what the they're doing, you know what I mean? Everybody
they the writing, you see the writing on the wall.
Beer sales have been in this steady decline for the
most part. There was I think in there was a
consulting report that was basically saying it was titled a
perfect storm brewing in the global beer business. You headline writers,

(46:29):
you yep, yep. So weed is definitely on the in
the ascendency, beer consumption is slightly just you know, going
down bit by bit. So that that's got people looking
around seeing what's going on. So Adolphus Bush the fifth, okay,
the great great grandson of Anheuser Bush hang out with.

(46:51):
I got such a visual going to college with that dude.
The collar is pop. It was surgically put on the
skin of popped collar like a vampire. Like I'm sure
he's a nice guy. And if you know, the office
bush V five for this subb and let me know
if he's a good guy anyway. So, Uh, they've been
began putting their money behind legal weed, uh with like

(47:12):
a new vape company, like a vape pen type thing
the air to the gym Beam Fortune. I think he
made his company public in Canada. Uh, and a lot
of people are just starting to look you know, sort
of north to the north since weed has been legalized
in Canada. So like most and cores, they also said
they're like forming a part partnership with a weed company
to make like sort of non alco weed drinks for Canadians. Uh.

(47:36):
So it looks like, you know, they kind of see,
you know, this is the wave that where it's all going. Uh.
And so they're gonna be investing in it more and more,
which makes sense because I think they found that even
in Oregon when recreational weed was legalized, like a lot
of their craft beer sales went down. Now it's not
that it was necessarily that was the cause of that,
but they know that was just something they noticed sort

(47:58):
of happening at the same time. But you know, we'll
see what happens. But it's kind of funny because the
US Border Patrol also or the CBPS, just made this
weird announcement in political or how they're gonna hassle Canadians
who smoke weed trying to cross the border because it's
illegal here. Yeah. Uh, this is it's such a stupid
fucking law where it's like, hey, have you smoked weed ever?

(48:21):
And if you have, you have to tell us because
if you lie, that's fraud and then you can be
barred from entering the US for life. And it puts
people in a very weird position. Uh. So in political
they're saying, uh, this is a statement from someone from CBP.
They're like, oh, our officers are not going to be
asking everyone whether they have used marijuana, but if other
questions lead there, if there's a smell coming from the car,
they might ask uh. Because they're saying, like, marijuana residue

(48:43):
can linger. They said, if asked about past drug use,
traveler should not lie. He said, if you lie about it,
that's fraud and misrepresentation, which carries a lifetime band uh,
which is odd because there are a lot of people too,
Like they're saying if you are even in the legal
weed business in Canada, and they're like, oh, what do
you do for work? And you're like, oh, I work
in like the legal weed business. You're like, Oh, we
don't want people who are like, you know, profiting off

(49:05):
the proliferation of drugs and like smuggling narcotics or whatever
the funk. It's a fucking weird because it's a federal institution. Yeah,
but it's just such an odd thing to be like
taking this stance and like letting people know. It's like,
but half the fucking borders so many border states with
Canada have legalized recreational weed even though it's a state thing.
But it's still just this like really dumb butting up

(49:27):
of federal and state law and just yeah, anyway, I
just wanted to bring that up because it's funny that
you also have these American companies who are like looking
to Canada invest in that business, but then Canadians who
were trying to enter this way, they're gonna hassle him
for It's just I just don't understand why people want
to stop drinking a drug that gets you no more
fucked up than weed and that kills you, Like, why,

(49:50):
what's their problem? Yeah? You tell me how many violent
crimes are committed on weed? Yes, you know what I mean,
he's fast. Need to sit back and smoke a fatty
and chill out the stink. Yeah, Willie Nelson have been
to Portland or Oregan? I mean I had I had
a canna booch cannabis kombuga there that was very strong, Yes,

(50:12):
and you were cand of fucked up. Oh it was beautiful. Yeah.
What was the canned beverage that we that we oh,
sprigue soda so holly back or drink all that sprig man.
I'm trying to get right this this week. Uh yeah,
but it's uh yes, sprigges, We'll get you. Have you
had a sprig so? Is that a cannabis infuses soda?

(50:32):
It's a case no high current corn syrup and that ship.
You know what I mean? They would have a local
version if you want to sugar fet a lot of
th HC, A lot of th HC for mis You
gotta be careful. I overdosed on canna quinch wants at Disneyland.
Hanna quench quinch that like a lemonade. And it was
a crazy experience wheelchair. I had to be wheeled out

(50:56):
at Tortilla Joe's Downtown. I'm not lying. Did you think
you're dying? It was really really bad. You know, be
careful with your radio. Um. Alright, guys, let's talk about
the strongest brands. The brand is strong with these companies.

(51:20):
So a company, the Harris Poll, Yeah, reached out to
I think seventy seven thousand American a lot of America.
Nobody asked me. I'm a little offended. I love being
on the pulse of like what's hot? And are you
an American over the age of fifteen and speak English? Yes,
then you could have taken this survey. Yeah. It was
like an online thing they filled out where first let's

(51:42):
get into sort of the methodology to understand how this worked.
There was each respondent they were asked a rate of
I think around forty randomly selected brands, and each brand
got like a thousand ratings roughly, and you were just
sort of pulled on whether or not like what your
thoughts were in feelings on each brand, and that's how
they started ranking things like based on all these all
this data, you know who the best nonprofit is or

(52:05):
car Audio, and it's a very Yeah, it's an interesting
it's an interesting list or it gives you a very
good idea of what brands are like the most recognizable
for a lot of Americans too. The one headline that
came out of this pole that I saw last week
was like, how the funk is Taco Bell the top
Mexican restaurant brand like in the US. I don't disagree

(52:25):
with that. I mean, if you're going off like a chain, well,
here's the thing. Taco Bell isn't Mexican food, you know
what I mean, it's Mexican adjacent inspired taste poisons. But
if you actually put Chipotle and Taco Bell head to head,
for me, I would pick Taco Bell. Like, I don't
know why because I'm a scumbag. Well I feel like
a value. I mean I enjoy both equally, and Taco

(52:47):
bells way cheaper. Yeah, oh man, you get that mexicount anyway,
so last night, oh look at you. I'm a fan.
I'll be honest, Yeah I do. Yeah, They're different kind
of things and mean, and I think maybe that's why
people when you go to Chipole you spend I mean,
because they do have like actually meetings, so you're gonna
actually pay for that. I always get that guawk up grade. Obviously,

(53:10):
I get a chip I funk with the chip side,
you know up of course, walk this way. Grills stuff
burritos with extra grill. You ever had the case arita,
know where they take the burrito tortilla and then make
that a case ada and then wrap your burrito and
that ship is that? That's chippole. Yeah. I thought we
were talking about, Oh my bad, my bad, all right?
So what what were something that jump out at you guys?

(53:31):
Full line automotive Honda, which didn't surprise me because Honda
seems like they always got that. Well those cars you're
gonna run into the exactly, like those are the cars
that are still around twenty years later. Like that is
the thing that I feel like, if you've got a
car that just won't quit on you, like you love
that motherfucker like you will. Yeah, so Honda Honda doesn't

(53:54):
surprise me. Best car that can't quit you like Heath
Ledger couldn't quit fucking Jake Jillan Hallan broke back Mountain
exactly had a Honda prelude, My god, I drove that
ship for fucking fifteen years into the ground and someone
still bought that shot off of me for like over
like two grand. Yeah, because people like that car. Yeah,

(54:16):
didn't smell bad by the end. No, No, I smell
like weed and probably had. You know, there's a lot
of ship hit in the door panel so board in
that car. But one interesting thing was like best coffee shop, Crispy.
It could be like if people are were put off
by their political ship that like people were like Krispy

(54:37):
Cream sold coffee boy. Yeah, I mean they have to,
it makes sense. But I there's only the Burbank one,
the one would be closest. You know, I haven't been
in there in a long time. But yeah, I think
it's probably the fact that Starbucks doesn't sell literal, actual
warm crack when at their store, whereas Crispy I don't
know what they put in that good God audio bows

(54:59):
in vehicle. I I trust that. Yeah, you bang olive
harmon cardon. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know enough
about that. So casual dining restaurant, chain restaurants, we've got
a tie, folks between first one does not surprise me
at all. The cheesecake factory, Yes, yes, indeed, and and
Texas Roadhouse. Interesting I've never had they're like out like

(55:24):
in the outer regions of the county. I used to
work at Cheesecake Factor. Did you want at the grove? Yeah?
When I first moved here. What are your impressions, it's
a very very corporate environment. Yes. Uh, you know you
have to have a crease on the sides of your
of your shirt down the front of your apron. They're
very If you have a stand on your apron, they

(55:45):
make you buy a new one there because they don't
want you know, they want you to look like a
big fat piece of cheesecake so that everybody will buy cheesecake.
C in your hair exactly, you kind of do a
little strawberry moment in the hair. These are all the
same rules we have here. Yeah, you all you' all
are wearing had to do white if I have tuxedo
pants on and a festive tie. He used as a
conversation pace. We're encouraged, encouraged to have a good time

(56:10):
with how many people are rocking, like the Star Wars
tie Star Wars Foghorn Leghorn Like, yeah, I mean you
know you made a statement with the tie and you
had to do a double windsor and if you didn't
do it right, somebody would have to do it for
you when you got there. I mean, very very strong.
They're training for the corporate world. Oh you know, their
training is six weeks long and you have it in

(56:31):
a classroom and trying every item. You have to memorize
everything in every Okay, so what's the best thing on
that enormous enormous You know, it's hard to say because
you know, I don't eat any of that stuff anymore.
There's not that many options. Can you tell me about
the avocado eggirls? I mean I used too. I get
a veggie burger there now? Yeah? Is that those are

(56:54):
the chicken fingers? I believe, So that sounds familiar. Also,
I haven't been to a cheesecake factory in seven years. Yeah,
it's been a decade, right, so we don't go. But
why did it win? Well, because I think if you
think about it, we're in a city too that has
like so much variety, where other places that are just
sort of mostly rely on chain restaurants or chain stores
for their business intitude consume at then Yeah, this is

(57:17):
probably is the best place. When I was in Dallas.
I would rock that cheesecake p of Changs was like
a fancy night out. What is Texas Roadhouse? I'm sorry
for a steakhouse, right, but just go sorry, it's a steakhouse.
It's like a cheesecake factory of steakhouses, basically get all
the different cuts. I thought this was the one that
you could throw peanuts on the floor. But I might
be wrong. I might be confusing that only Texas restaurant

(57:39):
I like is Papa Dough. I think Cheesecake Factory will
be like when they look back on our culture after
we've all died, like years and years from now, when
aliens are visiting, I think Cheesecake Factory will be seen
as like the extension, the ultimate endpoint of American culture
because it's like appropriating every different type of food. It's

(58:00):
got all of them in one menu. The menu is
a novel. The menu is a phone with ads for
other businesses in the fucking thing. And you can throw
peanuts on the floor at Texas Roadhouse. That is the
one thing the Cheesecake Factory is lacking work on, or
aliens will view you what other things on here? Oh?

(58:21):
Ben and Jerry's is the top ice cream in front shop.
That makes surprising their Pandora is the top Internet interesting?
What does that not count serious? I guess it doesn't
because that would have been my guest. Well, I guess
because Pandora you can just stream off a browser where's
serious you have to pay for you know what I mean?
Like Pandora's just be like broke boy music for the
Internet and then you just get that STU not. I don't.

(58:46):
I don't either, curate. I do sometimes if like we
need to put on like jazz classics for like if
people are like coming over, coming over, that's what you
do for like a dinner for we're actually selling our
house right now when people are coming through. Oh and
you'd like to play the jazz like this is a
refined home. It is like exactly like what I've heard

(59:09):
in every other open house, right the ja shake it up,
blastom corn, got the life, Yeah, exactly, because you can
have the life in this house. I would buy that house,
room room. The top news service is BBC News. I
know that's where we're at. But you know what, shout
out to everybody in the survey who's like, you know what,

(59:29):
all these bullshit things I trust the BBC Ya BBC.
It reminds me that Austin Power Song BBC one, BBC two. Yeah,
that top off price retailer t J Max, the Maximissa.
I don't know another like store that has so much

(59:50):
pride from people who go to that space. We're just like, hell, yeah,
I'm a maximiz Yeah, a cheapass bit. Yeah, take so
much pride. I used to when Junior High Goo to Ross,
I got the fucking oversized Wu Tang hockey jersey that
was so big with the Yeah I had that, and
remember Shacks brand twism the world is Mine. I used to.

(01:00:11):
I had this shimmerchen fucking nasty poly like fake synthetic
shiny as shirt Jack shirt Ross because price on that,
because you can. That's the thing with t J Max
and Ross. You go in there and you might dig
up some real ship out of nowhere, so you know,
think about that. The number one wireless carriers Verizon over

(01:00:33):
the ads are right. Yeah, Thomas Milch, we see you.
Oh my god. Every time I see him in a
commerce I'm like, get that fucking checked. Serious. He's rolling
into mind like the Milana vine Troupe, A T and
T as the lady. They're crushing it well deserved. Thomas
middle Dish for people who don't know, is like one

(01:00:54):
of the best guests on a comedy podcast. Like the
dude is so fucking funny, like you might not know
it from even like Silicon Valley. His character isn't like
And also have you seen him do the Shakespearean She's
like just wholly sh it. That to me is the
most impressive ship because like his grasp of like Shakespeare
and then then being able to improvise around me funny. Yeah,

(01:01:17):
very talented, very talent. Every penny my man and the
top TV news. And I think this says something about
probably how people are feeling about politics maybe, but yeah,
also maybe global warming is the top TV news. Is
the weather channel, which that ship is always on at
my house when I go home, I'm like with my

(01:01:39):
parents like really yeah, yeah wait, and isn't is it
just news updating all the time? Yeah, I mean just
weather updates, just like this is a bad thing that's
happening here. That's a bad thing that's happening over there,
like this, look at this crazy. So it's like a
like a low budget like Roland emeric disaster for base
where that's where we live now. Do you remember when

(01:02:00):
the Weather Channel was just like a vibe channel that
just had graphics and music. Yeah, I wish for simpler days.
It's just you can always yo. The Hurricane Florence coverage though,
when they were showing what the surge would do, like
they had the very detailed animations that were like, wow,
he's like I am this feet tall, the surge could

(01:02:21):
reach this high, and like gave a very good presentation.
I was like, Okay, I can see. I think with
stuff like that though, maybe that's where they're getting a
leg up. But the Weather Channel, TV News, TV News,
I think you can always discuss the weather with somebody,
you know, it's like the universal discussion. Nobody's going to
get their feelings hurt. So I love talking weather with

(01:02:42):
people really well, you know, when you meet somebody like
auditions and things, Hi, how are you good? Are you?
Oh it's a nice day. Oh yeah, I think it's
going to get warm this weekend. It's just a nice way,
you know, it's just like, hi, how are you good?
Why are they talking about weed found in both the
gen's house and I'm sorry what? Oh? Never mind the weather? Yeah, right,

(01:03:05):
it's just like a copasetic convolved. Otherwise you can get
too real for people. Anything else you guys that jumps
out at you guys before with a lot of stuff
makes sense, like payment card, visa. Sure, yeah, it's it
does seem like a lot of it is like who
has spent the most money on advertising to the point
that they are just in your except the top smart watches,

(01:03:25):
not that Apple watches, the aces Zen Watch smart watch. Yeah,
that one. I've never even heard of that. So Blaze
Pizza is the pizza pizza come on, Dominoes. I don't know.
I've never had Blaze Pizza are I don't know. It's fine,
It's it's just like novelty ish. So so basically they

(01:03:46):
make it on the spot. There's like so you're like
to whatever toppings you want. So like the crust is
really fresh because they just like put it in. It's
like it bakes with him like pizza pressed like that.
We have, Like I've been to that kind of thing
where like you just do uh okay, as superproducer shows me,
it's like eight hundo one of the places. Yeah, it's
like eight degrees okay, and it's partially owned by Lebron James,

(01:04:08):
which I'm sure it doesn't hurt for its marketing. Oh
really yeah, Okay, okay, that sounds exciting. Nonded by the
people who do Wetzel's Pretzels. Yeah that makes sense actually,
because it's just like delicious bread. Just the guy that
invented Wetzels is the name like Bob Wetzel, Rick Wetzel
is it? It's Elise and Rick Wetzel because I bet

(01:04:29):
he was made fun of his whole childhood. People called
him Wetzel Pretzel and he's like, motherfucker, I'll get you someday. Yeah,
Or it just became this sad fulfilling, self fulfilling prophecies
like I want to be an impressionist painter. Know your
name rhymes with fucking Pretzel? Rick place where I think

(01:04:50):
there's probably the biggest room for improvement, our top sandwich
shop in America. As Americans, we said this is a
tie between Panera and so way come the funk on America.
Who could do Jersey Mikes? You like Jimmy John. I'm
just saying we need to create a better sub understand
much carit? Okay, that's let's nationalize it. Let's share it

(01:05:11):
with the wrestler. They're around everywhere, but I don't think
they're around enough, Like you know, like fucking Panera or subway.
Subway is just an institution. I mean yeah. Although they
had to get rid of the five dollar foot long,
so so long to the foot long because because the
business has been just it's a it's just a fucking
loser in terms of profits, like and a lot of people,

(01:05:32):
like the franchise owners like yo, I can't fucking make
money off a five dollar foot long, so they're like
phasing it out. Ever, since they took out that yoga
mat out of the bread, they had to had to
step the game right. Five five dollar, five dollar foot long.
See that was good fucking marketing. Man, it worked. It
almost made you forget that the spokesperson child, Well, they

(01:05:54):
certainly swept that onto the rug, didn't they. But I
think also Panera is also just a good place to
kick it if you're a teenager and use their WiFi
after school. And the sandwiches are bed I really used
to eat, just like in college. I'll go there broccoli
cheddar soup and the roast Asiago roast beef sandwich. But

(01:06:15):
it was also just too much money. That was the
other things. That's why I would just go to subway
and you're not fucking five bucks. You could eat for
like the whole day. Nobody hangs out of the subway.
That's that's weird. Look, hey man, maybe in the subway,
yeah for what the cookies are good, just chilling like
in the one seat, like in the building, yellow boot.

(01:06:39):
And finally it is time for our chicken with the
Tableauid's this time for blod So we we have one story,
really and it comes directly from our newsstand, the source
where we get our bluetoids at every fucking day or
every week. The dude who works there told us because

(01:06:59):
one of the top stories is Tom Cruise, most hated
man in Hollywood. And he was like, yo, I can't
believe that's still here. Because every time there's a negative
story about scientology or Tom Cruise, the scientologists come over
from like their headquarters is right down the street. They
just all come over at five am and buy all
the copies of it so nobody can see it straight up.

(01:07:22):
That that's the thing that happens. Alfred Hitchcock bought up
all copies of the book Psycho when he was premiering
it because he didn't want people to know like what
happened in Psycho just like that's that's such a crazy
move to just be like, I'm buying all of this
so nobody can have it. But that's it's ineffective. I
would yeah, you would have been mad effective for in
the Alfred Hitchcock days when you mus be like, oh

(01:07:43):
that book that there's no internet for this information to
spread rapidly, I'll buy all those right, But yeah, I
don't know. Do you think it's because they don't want
who's who are they preventing from seeing when they buy
all that up right? That's the question. I mean there,
they can't think that it might be a thing where
they know Tom Cruise is going to be walking down
that street and they don't want him to get mad.

(01:08:06):
He does frequent Hollywood proper. Yeah. Also, you know, do
we take the newsstand guy's story for gospel truth? I mean,
you know he has that like snake skin tattoo all
over his face. Yeah, but he's pretty cool. He's pretty cool. Hey,
he's pretty cool man. He's certainly seen some ship in
his day. Oh yeah. But in the thing though, what's

(01:08:26):
funny though, even though when you opened it, the reason
why they didn't take it off is because it's like
why he's so hated. It's like because he's so cool
and he's like never ages, so so it seems like
a planted story and then all the bad things are
like he's bighead, stupid, like it was written by like
a five years maybe the intern wrote it. They gave

(01:08:47):
them not like he abandoned his children right, which he did. Uh.
And he also has lived on the back of slave
labor for years. You know his son is a Oh okay,
we'll shout out to him, and apparently he just runs
a fucking muck down to Florida. Like we're at another
like Scientology, like Stronghol neighborhood. You got the cruiser, Yeah, Connor,

(01:09:11):
I think I when I used to work at the
fucking laser tag place Ultra Zone in the valley used
to do his birthday party, Connor cruise. Yeah, his dad
and his sister that his dad by the whole fucking
shit out and it was yeah, did you catch a
glimpse of old Tommy? How big was his head? Uh?
It looks at looking over my shoulder real quick. Shit

(01:09:31):
is tiny. This article says his head is large. That's
the only reason I asked. It doesn't seem proportionately large.

so great. It's at Mike leffing Well. But this is
what he tweeted a couple of days, A gorgeous full moon,

(01:11:02):
a live changing concert. These are the photos you've taken
with your phone that look like dogshit. Very calm and
considering the new iPhones are out, but very true. Everybody
put your phone down at a concert. Nobody's gonna watch
that footage afterwards. Put the phone down and enjoy your
damn self. So annoying. I hate it. Miles, Where can

(01:11:23):
people find you? So you can find me on Twitter
and Instagram at Miles of Gray. There's a couple of
tweets I like. The one thing that I want to
mention was we talked about how Brett Kavanaugh. There was
like that mysterious letter that Diane Einstein got that alluded
to some kind of incident with him and a woman.
We found out last week that it had something to
do with him and and another high school classmate when
he was in high school. Uh, he like forced herself

(01:11:43):
on a woman and like covered her mouth and turned
the music up and she was able to free herself.
And that's what the letter was about. And then like
Chuck Grassley like produced a letter from like sixty five
women that I went to high school with with Brett
Kavanaugh or people that I think six people in general
that went to high school with him, being like he's
a good dude and like he wouldn't do that, which
is interesting. So Astley Nicole Black tweeted, I couldn't find

(01:12:06):
sixty five people I went to high school with if
you gave me ten years in the resources of the FBI,
which is very interesting because I don't I don't think
I can find that Peoplerom high school. And then another
one from my beloved reductress uh friend who texted, quote,
I'm just seeing this now awarded Pulitzer Prize in fiction.
