Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm going to be workshopping it, all right? I'll be
over here workshopping that one. You guys do the show.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Freight, but Freight 01? I don't get, I don't. Fuck.
What are you, I don't know what you're trying to do.
You know what, I'm out of here. What are you
trying to do?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Let me in on the process and then I can help.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
He can't be helped. He cannot be helped. Fucked. Is
free the pun? What are we doing? Free toe pie,
free toe. Toe. Free toe. Oh, free toe pie, free
toe one. Free 2-1. Free ToePie.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
I thought it was for the OnlyFans freaks. That's what
I thought you were doing.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
That's nasty. A ToePie? A ToePie. You know someone's making...
Someone's paying their mortgage with ToePie. They got free ToePie
picks over there. For sure. Yeah, yeah. Pit picks. I
wish I did feet stuff. You refuse? I think my
feet are nice. I think my toes are suspicious. Do

(01:28):
you know what I mean? Like, I think my feet
are soft, but my toes. Your toes make people suspicious?
I don't know. Or your toes are suspicious of people.
He got fake toes. I have had a guy be like,
years ago, I had a guy being like, I love toes.
And I was like, you're not going to like mine.
You're not going to like these.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
And he's like, yes, I will. And I was like,
you're not. Okay, here you go.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
And he looked at them and he was like.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
You're right.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
No, they're good. They're good. Oh, no. And I was like,
I told you. What could possibly be up with your toe?
You got short toes? You got really long toes? I
got really long toes, personally. I don't know. I just
don't think they're not beauty queens. They're not hideous. I
clean them. I scrub them.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
But they're just not beauty queens. You know some people's
toes are really uniform, right? I can't say that about
my toes.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
They're not uniform. They're like doing jazz. They're doing a
lot of different things. I think I've broken both pinky
toes and they've just fused like without much flexion in them.
Fused together? No, like, you know, like how Shaq's wrists
kind of like didn't have as much give to it.
I got one toe that's just like just stiff. Don't

(02:42):
do it much. It's just balancing. Interesting.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, man. A little odd shape, but I still
like my toes. And you know what, Mano? I bet
you have beautiful toes. And I wouldn't say that. If
you showed them to me, I'd go, hell yeah, Mano.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, fuck with them toes. You know when like a
Looney Tunes swallows dynamite and then like their teeth explode
and they look like broken piano keys?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what your toes look like? Damn. Yeah, man.
That's what my toes look like. I tried to kick
a firework at an inopportune time as a child.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Ready to be jealous? Look at my Japanese snacks. Wow.
Do you remember these from the before time? You got Amijaga.
They're so good. Oh, that's just a straight up flavor salt.
Flavor salt, yeah. But the shape is the trick. The
shape is where it's at. You know, those little perfect

(03:37):
waffle shapes. Oh, yeah. Man, Japanese chips are so fucking good.
It's just MSG. That's really what it is. It's the secret.
It's delicious. And it's not bad for you. And it's
not bad for you. Why are these snacks so good?
It's because you live in a racist country that says
MSG is the secret ingredient that's making their dang food
so tasty. How do we fucking, how do we get

(03:59):
them to play fair? It's salt. It's salt. It's salt.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Salt is salt is salt.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
You know this. Your listeners know this. Yeah. No, I
think that was like one of the very, very early
story we did in the show talking about like MSG,
MSG panic being like a racist response to Chinese food
taking off in the U.S.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Like, damn it. OK, well, then we have to vilify
their ingredients.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
Right.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
And then like the American food companies, you just either
use MSG or they gave it a slightly different name, which,
you know, the food companies love to do.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And even then it ain't hitting the same. They just
call it flavor salt as opposed to road salt. They
do it at Popeye's Cajun Sparkle. Is that what they
call it? Yeah, that shit that they got there, that's
straight up MSG. Delicious. Cajun Sparkle's doing jazz hands. Oh, yeah.
Like Manos Toast. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
My feet are constantly in a state of moving, like
even when still.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
They're slithering around. I'm disgusting myself. I'm sicking myself out.
Like it's rolling a coin. I'm just trying to picture.
Like a 20s gangster.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
He's doing sleight of hand card tricks with it. They're
steepled together. He's like, is this your driver's license? God damn.
With your toes.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Hello, the Internet, and welcome to Season 454, Episode 3
of Dirty Zyke Geist, a production of iHeartRadio. This is
a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's
shared consciousness through the day's news. So deep. We also
have a new, non-news, history version of TDZ, drop it
each Monday morning, called The Iconograph, where we do a

(05:48):
deep dive into the zeitgeist through the lens of a
different icon.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
We have recently rerun Dolly Parton.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
We recently did Madonna, and then we just dropped Garfield
on all your asses.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Garf. Wayne and Garf. John and Garf. Hell yeah. Don't
forget Odie. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm going to say the episode was a little light
on Odie, and I apologize.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Because you sent him to Abu Dhabi, like Garfield loves
to do. Yeah, exactly. Nothing normal about that.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Nothing normal. You know, so I developed a loose theory.
that Jim Davis actually hates Garfield. Like, when he made
the strip, it was called John, and it was supposed
to be about John Arbuckle. And then, like, Jim Davis
has multiple cats, none of them named Garfield, but one
of them is named Nermal.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
I was like, God damn, man.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
So I have a theory that, like, Garfield almost emerged
from his unconscious like a... Like, you know when somebody
conjures something via Ouija board, and, like, they're like.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Fuck, something has.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Something has come out, and I can't get it to
go back in. I feel like that's what Garfield is.
Garfield is Jim Davis' Tyler Durden?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, exactly. Oh, my God. He can't stop. It's John's
Tyler Durden? Yeah, but he is John. Am I?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
You get his interaction, his chemistry with people throughout his life,
like with Charles Schultz, the creator of Peanuts. Like, his
chemistry with everyone is he is John and they are Garfield. Like,
everybody's always shitting on him, and he's just like, ah,
I love you anyways, man.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Whoa. Great work, man. Thanks for talking.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Anyways. John is Glinda. John is Glinda, exactly. Garfield's Elphaba.
There you go. And they're the two sides of the
same person, kind of. Wow. Wow. It's hard to say. Wow.
But anyways, you can find out more about that.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
On the icon episode my name is jack o'brien oh
wait we haven't done the date yeah it's wednesday september
2nd 2026 yeah not a lot going on today uh
it's national blueberry popsicle day and world coconut day boom
okay yeah i don't think i've ever had a popsicle
to the beautiful humble coconut one of the greats one

(08:15):
of the great bras one of the great foods yeah
i'm gonna One of the great fillings for candy bars,
in my humble opinion.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Not everybody's.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
But what the fuck is the blueberry? Blueberries are never popsicles.
That's not one of the main flavors of blueberry.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Never heard of it. I've had a blue razz popsicle,
but it wasn't a blueberry. Only I've ever heard of
a blueberry popsicle ever in my life. Never had. Shout
out to. But you know what? That's what the lobbyists
who put their money on these National Day calendar websites. Right.
You've done it because now guess what? We're talking about
a thing that we'll still never eat.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Do you think this is a move to like cover
the sort of the PR disaster of glass in the
outshine popsicles?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Do you remember that recent? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well,
and also right now, berries are just a lot of
people are there's a lot of scrutiny on berries and
like how shitty they are and how berries were killing people. Yep.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
They're out here.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah. So this is their attempt. This is like them
going undercover like Whitey Bulger in Santa Monica.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah. What if we were popsicles? What about that? Anyways,
my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. There is a house
in Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
They call New Orleans house.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
You can eat your fill of frog legs, I'm told.
I went and they were out.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
That one courtesy of Bonnie Irate from the Discord.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
New Orleans house. That ad was fucking sexy. The all-you-can-eat
buffet of New Orleans. house. What if I told you
there was an upscale all-you-can-eat buffet? In Lexington, Kentucky? Yes,
in Lexington, Kentucky. Go on.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
What if I told you they had a lobster on
the logo? There wasn't lobster on the menu, but there
is a lobster on the logo.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Implying something. Yes. Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Anyways, shout out to New Orleans House. Shout out to
my good friend, Matt Sawyer, who as a 14 and
15 year old was so excited about New Orleans House
that he got me excited.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
It was the holy grail of places to go out
to eat. And we went. Damn. I had a thing
like that with Amici's Pizza. Because like, I remember going
to a sleepover because my mom, my parents were never
really ordering fast like pizza ever. So like when I
had those experiences outside of like my, like my house,
like the white kids houses to like, we're having a

(10:54):
meat cheese pizza.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
Whoa.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
We just had cheese pizza, but I misheard them as
saying a meat cheese pizza. And I was like, this
is crazy, bro. Like they got the meat in here,
but you don't even know. And I kept telling my parents,
I'm like, I need a meat cheese. I need a
meat cheese pizza. And my mom, bless her heart with
her accent, was calling around and they were like, lady,
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. They're like,

(11:19):
you mean pepperoni? You mean sausage? She's like, no, meat cheese.
Meat cheese and pizza. You don't have it? Oh, no.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
It is.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
And then I remember seeing it on the menu at
my friend's the next time, and I was like, oh, fuck,
I'm an idiot. And I completely just screamed at my
mom as an 11-year-old for not finding it. What is
happening here?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Have y'all eaten at Chain Restaurant yet?

Speaker 1 (11:46):
I just ate Chain Restaurant. Sorry, this is on my
brain now. It's like we as adults are trying to
recreate the magic of those fast food moments as kids.
How was it? It was great. It was awesome. It
was delicious.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
If you don't know, Chain Restaurant does this weird thing
where they're elevating fast food foods.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Old favorites.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I had a Mapo Tofu Crunchwrap Supreme.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Wow. What?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Do you know what I'm fucking saying?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Are you serious? It was fucking delicious. It was so good.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
Go.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
But it is in the Topanga Mall, so it's very far.
I mean, there's one in Hollywood as well, but this
one was in Topanga Mall. Go to Topanga Mall. Topanga
Mall is worth going to.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
No, it's fun. Just as a valley staple. Yeah. Absolutely. So, whatever.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
They have the whole, like, all of the desserts are cereal-themed.
So it was like Cinnamon Toast Crunch Tiramisu, Reese's Puffs Churros,
Lucky Charms Choco Taco.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
It was nuts. It was nuts. It was delicious. Is
chain restaurant a chain of restaurants or is it just... No,
it's like something.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
I think BJ Novak's behind, right? BJ Novak was there
just kind of walking around.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
He was? It was funny. He was there! Inspecting the
different tables? He was there!

Speaker 3 (12:58):
I think it was like sort of like an opening
night thing. So like there were a lot of like...
There was a lot of, I mean, I'm lucky because
a friend brought me, but like, yeah, like there was
a lot of people, what was infuriating. There was people
like getting the food and then doing social media videos
for it and.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Then not eating the food. I know that's a, I
saw that recently with like some recent Starbucks unicorn frap
that came out where people were just inundating the place
with orders, just taking their fucking photo. And someone was
taking a picture of the trash can. Yeah. I saw
that filled with discarded fucking drinks. If you're like, okay,
I got my content piece. Oh, Upsetting.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
So they're all doing what The Rock does with his
cheat days. They learned it from watching you, The Rock.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Just take a photo of the food. Yeah. Look at
all those pancakes. Oh, man. I can't wait to eat those.
All right. Better end the video before I take a
single bite. The Rock lies about his cheat days? That's
a theory. That was a theory we had. Wow. Because
he felt like he didn't really know what he was
eating either. Wow. Like he outed.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's like, oh, man, I can't wait to cut those
up and put those in my mouth with a fork.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
And masticate.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Masticate? What the fuck? And ingest and then metabolize. Yes, indeed.
All right. I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by
my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. It's Miles Gray, a.k.a. I
heard there was a funny sound and my teachers it
would confound. They don't really like farts, but do ya?

(14:30):
It starts like this, a toot, a poot. Maybe one
that sounds like a flute. It's just that sound of
gases passing through ya.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Passing through ya. Passing through ya. Shout out to Hentron Zero. Hentron, again,
the Hennessy-powered robot that goes to parties. I still believe
that's what Hentron Zero is. thank you for that. Hallelujah.
Fart based. AKA. Cause yes, that was me.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
That's amazing. You would have been the star of the
fart corner. Oh, that's amazing. I would have been like,
like a Richard Pryor special. It would have been iconic.
They'd be like, oh shit, the leather suit special? When
he was in the leather suit?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Coming in a full red leather suit.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
And just like, because it's just enhancing the fart sounds
in my leather suit. I like that a lot better.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
The one time I wrote for the gay porn awards.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Hilarious. I mean, 800 funny. I actually did it twice.
Huge mistake both times. Really? And the host.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
sang a parody of Hallelujah called How I Blew Ya.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Wow. And did you write that or no? No, I
can't take credit for that. I can't take credit for
How I Blew Ya. Why was it a mistake?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I feel like that would have been great, but they
just didn't have a good sense of humor about it?

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
I mean, it was just a disaster. This was during
the COVID years.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
And there were adult actors who had been tested. We
tested everyone for COVID. And then we were like, great,
you've all been tested for COVID.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
And then at one point, people were collaborating in the bathroom.
And I was tasked with going into the bathroom to
be like, hey, guys, you cannot do this.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Wow. Because this is, we've all been COVID tested. That's
not your job. I know, but it was that kind
of vibe of like, all hands on deck. And they
were like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (16:34):
We tested negative.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
And I was like, I know, but you can't. Do
content now.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
To be fair, the porn industry is not that acclimated
to having writers.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
That part. I don't know. What do you do? Do
you go and break people up fucking in the bathroom? Exactly.
We're not exactly sure what writers do. It's a disaster,
but fun stories. Hey, that third voice you've been hearing. Oh, hey.
Someone we're thrilled to be joined by.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
A hilarious actor, writer, improviser, podcaster who hosts the hilarious
podcast We Love Trash on Patreon. You've seen him retelling
the story of the famous poodle masterpiece on Drunk History
on the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. One of Google's top
suggestions when you put in his name is Mono Agapian boyfriend,
so you know he's hot. Please welcome back to the show,

(17:23):
Mono Agapian!

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Mono! boyfriend. That's really funny. Hi, everyone. Hey. Hello, Mano.
I'm so thrilled to be back. Thank you for having me.
We're thrilled to have you here. Always a great time.
We're going to continue to get to know you a
little bit better. Please.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of
things we're talking about. We've got a postal service whistleblower
who has revealed what the upcoming elections may look like.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
It's bad. It's bad.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
We'll talk about A new awesome CEO just dropped, so
we'll talk about him.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
From Morgan & Morgan. Morgan & Morgan. America's largest injury
law firm. Honestly, there's a very good chance most people
are familiar with Morgan & Morgan because they're everywhere. Yeah,
they're kind of the main one. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
We'll talk about Nick Adams, who is one of the
great generators of scenes replete with dialogue that he claims
happened that 100% didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
So we're going to read another one of those.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
All of that, plenty more. But first, Mano, we do
like to ask our guests, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Ooh, yeah. Okay, I looked this up. I recently was,
I'm writing something about witches.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
And I recently was researching the Witch of Pungo.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Okay. The Witch of Pungo.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's a place in Virginia. Her name is Grace Sherwood.
And she's basically a witch. It's really funny. She's so
famous that there's a statue of her in Virginia Beach somewhere.
And she basically was a witch that was taken to
trial six different times. and then, like, proved innocent six

(19:14):
different times. Like, and everyone in town was like, my
crops died!

Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's Grace!

Speaker 3 (19:18):
And she'd be like, fuck, okay, let's go to trial.
And she would go to trial and be like, there's
no evidence. And then someone would be like, my cat's lost!

Speaker 1 (19:27):
It was Grace!

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Like, literally everyone in town kept taking her to trial,
and she kept countersuing and kept getting off, but her
whole life was consumed with witch trials.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Wow. Until they eventually got her. They did get her?
They put her in the water. Oh, no. They put
her in the water. Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Fascinating story. And I've just been like, poor fucking Grace.
Grace from 1688. Like, send one up to Grace.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I know. God, I could just hear this playing in
her mind. I thought this was America, people. Grace, not
a witch, not guilty. Wow.

Speaker 6 (20:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Fucking six times is so wild. Murder was the child
that they gave her. Yeah. Wow. Well, shout out to
the Witchapongo. Witchapongo. We love her. We love her. That's
what it's been in my search history. Are you a
witch fan generally?

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah. I'm pretty excited. Jack, you said that as if
you're concerned. Is everything okay, Monom? No, I love witches. Yeah,
I'm excited. Are they real? Yeah. That is a great question.
I am a skeptic. Like, well, but you know what
I say?

Speaker 3 (20:41):
I was like, I'm like a, I'm an empathic skeptic.
Like I'm always like, no. And then like a ghost
reveals itself to me.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (20:51):
I'm like, no, I'm not interested. And then like a
curse happens. I just kind of feel like I don't
believe it. And then the universe keeps like trying to
show me stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Pulling you back in. How do you feel? Do you
believe in witches or no? I don't, probably not, but
I'm a fan of their work. I'm a fan of
their vibe, you know?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
And I'm a believer that sometimes a vibe can be
so overpowering that it does become a thing.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
You know? Yeah. I'm not going to say nothing about
witches right now. That part, right? Because you don't want
to be proven right or wrong. I love them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait,
I love witches too. I think they're powerful and interesting.
Love them, love them, love them. I have a famous...
Hex on my witches. Hex on. We have an 11-foot
witch flying on a broomstick that is our... Oh, yeah. No.

(21:35):
You're pro-witch. And it's known.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Like, I will... During the dead of summer, this summer,
you know, windows open because it's hot out. And hearing
people walk by be like, they have a big witch
for like talking to their kids about like, this house
has a good witch when Halloween time rolls around.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
You must love hearing that.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Oh, Miles, you have not like, I mean, to the
point that I'm now talking about it, like three months
after it happened.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
So, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I would say I liked it. You ran out into
the street and you're like, oh, hey, you're talking about
this house? Yeah, we got the witch. Sure do. So
you noticed, huh? Sure do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll be
out soon. Don't worry. Don't you worry. That's really fucking funny.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Catch up to them, like, out of breath, being like,
couldn't help but hear you talking about the witch.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Wait, that was last week. It's actually The Witch of Pungo.
She has a crazy backstory.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah.

Too scary. Jacob Tapper, you get over here. Wait, what's Tapper?
It's an 80s game. Look it up.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
It's an 80s game, and I think it's sponsored by Budweiser.
And there's a fun little, you tap and slide beers
to people on the counters.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Oh, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
It is so fun. It's so easy. It only costs
one token. And I just love, I love it. I
love it because it has a unique joystick.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
You know what I mean? Like the joystick is, you know,
it's like a little, whatever, one of those little keg

at it but you know what else you know what
i did beat have you ever played the japanese game
bishibashi no bishibashi is a fantastic game it's like a
game of mini games And that rocks.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Oh, I've seen this machine. Okay, yeah. No, I've never
played this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is awesome. We
played that one. That one's a big hit. Go to
Barcade to play that.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
But yeah, it's like a fun game where it's a
mini game game.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A ton of mini games.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, easy.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
It doesn't take a lot of skill. Just need enthusiasm.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
They also have a Japanese game there where you have
to flip a table in anger.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, like, it's like the Angry
Dad game, right? Where, like, first you pound it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you have to flip it the most angrily. That
was a hit. So, yeah. Wait, what does that even
look like? It looks like it has, like, a little
edge of a table. Yeah, it has a miniature round table, like, at, like,
sort of hip height that you do all your bashing

(26:07):
and pushing. Does it actually flip? Does it actually give? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or is your pump on such pressure that it's measuring it? Oh, okay. Yeah,
that's like... It's so fun. And there's different scenarios.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
You can be like a bride who's mad that her
wedding was ruined. Or yeah, like a dad at dinner.
Like there's a couple scenarios you get to play through.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Gamify toxic masculinity. And toxic femininity. Yeah, yeah. Bridezilla. You
get to be a bridezilla. So yeah, barcades, man. How
do y'all feel about barcades? I love it. They're a
lot of fun. Although, the thing with me, I'm a
game nerd, so sometimes the selection isn't to my liking.

(26:45):
And then, if you remember, I'm not there to be
a 12-year-old nerd. I'm also there to, like, hang out
with people. But, yeah, I do. I enjoy a park game.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
And I'm not a game nerd, so I just go
and I'm like, oh, my God, look at what they
can do.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
That's what I love about it, too, right? I invited
people for my birthday, and it was just fun to
be like, play or don't play, drink or eat something.
I don't give a shit. Just do what you want.
It's fun. They have Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Wow. Oh, that game, damn.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
It's so fun. And we played and hee-hee'd the whole time.
We were just screaming hee-hees and cha-cha-pee chirpas.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
When he does a kick that kills whatever is coming
at him, does it always go hee-hee?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Like every single time?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
The two buttons are shoot and dance. And when you
do a dance, it is so funny. All the enemies
on screen dance with you and then vaporize.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's so crazy. It's so scary.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's questionable, but it's a fun time.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
What is something you think is overrated, Manu? Oh, I
wrote this down too. What is overrated? Oh, God.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Can we get rid of the popcorn collectible trend? Like
the whole thing where it's like, come to AMC and
get fucking... I just saw one for Insidious and it
literally said, lipstick face demon popcorn receptacle.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I was like, what?

Speaker 3 (28:11):
And it looks like shit. It clearly was like, it
looks like an Ed Asner... plastic mold that they painted
red and black to look like the insidious demon. I
hate the popcorn collectible thing. And I hate that they're
like $ 50 for like a two penny piece of plastic.
Get rid of that trend now.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Right.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oof. Hate it. Hate it.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Do you, looks specifically like it was designed to, they,
they are always like, okay, we're going to make this.
And partially we're doing it to like get hype for
the movie. And partially we're hoping that people will start
talking about how they want to fuck it.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yes. Yes. Yes. Like partially how it trends, how it trends. Yeah.
The insidious bucket has like a mouth. It looks so bad.
Can you see that?

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah. It looks like Darth Maul looking at himself in
a mirror during an acid trip. It was the same mold.
I think it's it might even be the same as
the Vin Diesel mold. Like it is just like they
just paint it. I hate it. I hate that trend.
And I hate that people will pay a stupid amount.

(29:25):
It's just to me, it's a form of cap. It's
a little too much late stage capitalism. We got to
stop it, y'all. Yeah. I mean, what started as a
bit of being like, whoa, you can fuck this dune bucket. Yes.
Then became, they're like, oh shit, people are buying these
goofy ass plastic bags.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
And it is also one of those things that I
was like rooting for because I'm like, well, I want
movies to still be a thing.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
And I'm told that this is helpful. Right. Right.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
But I do feel like now that we've had the
summer of. the odyssey and like everything just like breaking
record like the new spider-man being the most popular movie
of all time we can maybe take our foot off
the gas a little bit and be like all right
guys that was fun i know maybe let's go back
to just like enjoying movies and not uh having to

(30:14):
have conversations about which popcorn bucket we want to fuck.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah totally These things will keep us warm in the
nuclear apocalypse. When you cover yourself in all your plastic
popcorn buckets, you won't regret it.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Or we'll just be putting them on our heads as
we're locked in a little bunker together.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Hey, look, it's me!

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Hypothetically, is there one, and I'll give an example, if
they release one that's like, Romy and Michelle 2.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Romy and Michelle Bucket... Oh, fuck. Post-it note dispenser bucket. Fuck.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
If there's one for the New Orleans Michelle, you just
got me good.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Post-it notes. If there's one for that one, I might,
I would be awful tempted. And that's just hypothetical. A
thing where I would shamelessly still buy merch would be like,
if there was like, A Big Lebowski one, maybe. Because
I used to have, like, the special edition bowling ball version. Oh,

(31:12):
that's fun, actually. That's the special edition Big Lebowski DVD
I have. Yeah. That, maybe. So it would be, like,
a giant white Russian? What do we think? Would it
be the.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
I don't even know, dude. Maybe it could be the
notebook where Jackie Treehorn draws the guy with the.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Big dick on it. It could be his hair clip.
That could be his jelly sandals that you eat out of.
I don't know. But at the end of the day,
I don't know if there really is. I know what
it is. It's the coffee cup with Steve Buscemi's remains
in it. The coffee can. The U-Band can? That would
be awesome. That would be a lot of fun. It
would be fucking awesome. Every time you open it, the

(31:47):
popcorn blows out into your face.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Oh, that is so funny. If they pulverize the popcorn
for you, that would be awesome.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
I was a little, so they had a Jaws 50th
anniversary shark popcorn bucket. It was just Jaws' head. Didn't
even look like the shark from Jaws. And it was
just like you open its mouth and there's popcorn inside.
I would have liked it if it was the time
where they like go and cut the shark open to
see if the Kittner boys in the shark's stomach.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
If that was like you open it and like popcorn
spills out instead of what.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yes. Instead of bloody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Both. In addition to. Yes.
That could have been fun.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
But look, guys, I think we're discovering I have a
bit of a gift for coming up with good popcorn
bucket ideas. So this might be my future.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
No, this is good.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, we're writing a perfect sketch. Have they already done
the sketch that's like popcorn collectibles for like Oscar winning movies?

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Have they already done that? No, but it's definitely, yeah.
It writes itself. Open your ears up. SNL, take it.
It's yours. Yeah. Amazing.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back. And we're back. And let's talk about
the mail, the postal service.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
We got a whistleblower. from the Postal Service. Toot, toot, beep, beep. Yeah.
And that is how they opened their statement. Dear Senator
Richard Blumenthal, toot, toot, beep, beep. Time to blow the
whistle on this thing. Sad girls. Yeah, we talked about
the Supreme Court ruling earlier that was very Kafka-esque. Who

(33:38):
is Kafka? Who is Kafka? As I said the day
before Tim Curry died. And that was a reference to
the movie Congo, which Tim Curry was also in. But
at the time, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump's mail-in
ballot scheme was able to move forward because the states
that were suing, they couldn't quite prove any damages yet.
So they said this is actually too soon. Too soon.

(34:01):
But they also didn't say whether or not this scheme
was legal. They were just like, well, first of all,
we're not saying this is legal, but go ahead. You
haven't been hurt yet. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
So, yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
But I know I will be. Well, and even then,
it could be too late when you sue then. So
you're kind of just going to have to let this
guy meddle in the midterm. So a whistleblower within the
Postal Service has revealed that this whole operation, obviously, it's
not about ballot security. And from their perspective, this is
all just a scheme to make mail-in ballots completely unusable.

(34:33):
This is just this is from The Guardian. Quote, the
snail mail carrier has been building an entirely new federal
federal ballot mail portal since June, months before the service
was permitted to move forward with the executive order. The
portal will screen all incoming ballots, but its development has
been rushed and, quote, risky as a service tried to meet, quote,
impossible deadlines. For instance, the agency has eliminated testing procedures

(34:58):
for the platform, a risk that could potentially derail the
midterm elections, according to the whistleblower. And this is one
of the officials, quote, potentially millions of American voters may
not receive their mail-in ballots this election cycle in a
timely matter or at all. So, I mean, this is
always the fear with anything Trump was going to do
with mail-in ballots, like that the end game was just

(35:20):
about negating them as a source of votes that could
threaten his power. So Trump's solution to that issue, that inconvenience,
is just to create a system so poorly designed that
it throws the entire election into chaos in terms of
mail-in ballots. So it's specifically the mail-in ballots are going
to be fucked this election. Definitely found a way to

(35:43):
meddle and muck via this portal. So, like, they're saying,
first of all, like, this whole thing was rushed. They
think a thing like this would take at least a
year to do, but they've just rushed. rammed it through
in like six, just under six months. And they're saying,
and even if you were to do everything right, make
sure your registration's right and things like that, the post
office might not even get you your mail-in ballot in

(36:04):
time because the system is designed to not make the
process efficient or even safe because it has a 0%
failure rate. So this is from the whistleblower, quote, quote,
for example, if a state election official brings a batch
of 10,000 ballots to the United States Postal Service, and
the USPS is unable to match just one of those

(36:24):
ballots against the portal, because, for example, someone has recently
changed their name after marriage or they've moved, then the
United States Postal Service would refuse to mail the remaining
9,999 ballots as well. USPS would then expect the state to, quote,
take back the entire back to cure the issue with

(36:46):
the single ballot. That sounds very complicated. Damn.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Intentionally so. And like also just impossible. Like it would
be it will be essentially impossible to vote by mail.
That sounds like if is that is there any hope
that this like that something stops this or is this
just like they're saying this is the way it is
there right now?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
The Postal Service hasn't said anything. This is a whistleblower
who reached out to Senator Blumenthal and was like, hey,
I need your help. This is what's going on. So
he is now, you know, out here. getting the word
out that this is in process. I'm not sure what
exactly the next legal step is here or what exactly
is going to happen or if they will follow through.
I'm sure Trump wants to because the way it sounds,

(37:25):
a completely fucked up portal that just mucks up the
process of sending ballots out is exactly what he wants.
But yeah, as Blumenthal said on Monday, quote, the main
takeaway for me is that the Postal Service has designed
a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans. One third of
all Americans cast their ballots by mail. And the Postal
Service puts all of their votes at risk.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Right.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
And it's way more, like I've heard people be like, well,
this could actually be bad for Republicans, too, because they're,
you know, rural voters also count on mail-in ballots. But
I think it's like 50-something percent of Democratic voters vote
by mail and only like 20-something of Republican voters vote
by mail. So if they are like, no, we're all

(38:08):
good here, people vote by mail as usual.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
And then... The votes are just.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Invalidated if they're coming in over the mail, then like, yeah,
he would just be winning the election.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah. So right now, I know Senator Blumenthal basically told
the postmaster general, David Steiner, that he needs to provide
documents about the plans to actually look at them first.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
But.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Yeah, I mean, you've got two months until the midterms. So, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Who knows where this goes. That's plenty of time. Two
months seems fine to suss this all out.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, I mean, the plan was to launch it yesterday
on September 1st. For them to launch the portal? To
launch the portal. But as of now, it has not
been launched. And they're not sure what the plan is
as of this recording. Okay.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
So.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
This is going to be a weird winter. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Or it's going to be a magical winter.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Yeah. Or people are going to have to, I mean, yeah,
I don't know if in the process is like a
whole effort to like help people that need to vote,
like to normally vote by mail to get them a ballot,
to put that in a ballot, but like whatever that is.
I mean, it's, it's, it's just causing so much confusion.
And again, this is exactly the point because it was
never like, we're going to win outright. It's like, we're
just going to make it so fun. hard to vote

(39:30):
or so chaotic that we either benefit from the lack
of people's ability to vote by mail or in the confusion,
we can just inject our own weird narrative to say, actually,
this is what's happening. I mean, look at how much
of a mess this, this whole voting system is.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
You'll never have to vote again was what he said.
When he was running for president last time. So it
seems like one of those things where we should be
taking him at his word.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah. Seems like. Damn. Wow. Y'all gagged me on that one. Yeah.
Everyone listening, just try to vote. Just vote big. Vote
a lot. If you're planning on voting, make sure at
first your registration hasn't been totally fucked with. Because in Texas,
a lot of people are discovering that their registration is

(40:18):
completely just thrown up into chaos. Unregistering people. All right.
We should talk about Nick Adams. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
There's an old radio reporter named Studs Terkel, which I
think is top five names of all time, who used
to travel America finding stories in the humble lives of
everyday Americans. And he was kind of lauded for the
sort of unmistakable authenticity of the humanity he uncovered. And

(40:55):
This American Life and, you know, others have kind of
tried to recapture that glory. But nobody has quite succeeded
until now.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Right.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
I mean, there's a little guy by the name of
Nick Adams who we've covered before.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
I like to say Nick Adams is like Studs Terkel,
the guy who's like wrote the definitive like oral history
of the Great Depression. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
So Nick Adams is this Australian guy who moved to
America is like high up in the Trump administration doing
some made up job.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
And he tried to be a diplomat and then that failed.
So now he's just he's just screaming on the periphery
to be part of the machine again. Isn't he like
something to do with American tourism? He's like the American
tourism something. Yeah, I mean, yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
He just accepted a position very publicly. Like, I am
proud to accept. So we've talked to, we've heard from
him before with his man on the street reporting from
inside a movie theater showing the Melania documentary, right? Wasn't
that the situation where he was going to see the
Melania documentary?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
There was a dad with... Two daughters who... Allow me, Jack.
This is... I'm settling in for a showing of Melania,
and the theater is packed. Earlier, Bystander asked if I
was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead
in my tracks. Avatar? No, son, I curtly replied. I

(42:24):
don't watch woke movies. I'm here to see the groundbreaking
documentary about our incredibly talented First Lady. The man's two
little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his
sleeve and begging... Daddy, we want to see Melania. But, but,
he stammered, I thought you girls wanted to see Zootopia too. No, no, no,
they said, now nearly shouting. We want to see Melania.

(42:47):
She's the most beautiful first lady ever. Their father was scrambling,
stressed out and disoriented. What are you talking about? He
said it happened. Girls, I'm afraid you aren't the only
ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,
I said, kneeling to get on their level.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
The dialogue crackles with the authenticity of everyday life.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Yeah, totally. Virtually everyone in this theater is here for
the 7.30 p.m. showings. And it's been sold out for days.
Tears began to well up in their eyes. Nobody fucking
saw this movie. Okay. But I said in a hushed tone,
I happen to have a few extra tickets with me.
And I'd like you and your dad to have them.

(43:28):
They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He
looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow
with a smile. I handed him the tickets and pulled
him close. Raise these girls right. I whispered. Oh, my God.
Teach them to be classy, conservative women of faith. Oh,
my God. Don't let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?

(43:49):
He hugged me and thanked me profusely. What are you
going to do now? He asked. Don't worry about me, son.
I told him with a twinkle in my eye. He
loves to call people son. I've already got tickets to
the next showing. Wow.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Otherwise, I'm just going to be standing here in the
lobby creeping people out.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Coming up to little girls in a theater. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
This slop, this sort of fairytale slop that now has
become completely common in conversations is just mind-boggling.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
You mean true stories that actually definitely happened? That's what
I meant. That's what I meant. Accurately told. So.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
His main thing these days is rage posting about the
trial of a mother who, you know, during a fit
of postpartum depression killed her children. Very complicated, sad, nuanced
story that he's treating like the trial of the BTK killer.
And any like doubt thrown on whether she should herself

(44:46):
be murdered in court is like proof that.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
America has lost its mind.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
But in between that, he came up for air to
tell us about a little something that happened to him
the other morning. He was out for a jog, but
he doesn't just jog. He has what we're going to
later learn in the story is a magical weighted vest.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Miles, do you want to take us through the story? Yeah.
And just, you know, the background of this is obviously
when Jelly Roll was guest hosting on Kimmel. And decided
to do, did some jokes about Trump. Some jokes that
weren't very nice. Yeah, about dear leader. So that's why
jelly roll is a topic in this weird reality. So

(45:30):
this is Nick Adams. He just posted this a few
days ago. Quote, I was on a run, parenthetical, with
a whited vest. In the park earlier, when I saw
a group of Gen Z guys at the park having
a small bonfire, I overheard them talking about Jelly Roll's
despicable comments on Jimmy Kimmel. No, you didn't.

Speaker 6 (45:49):
No, you didn't.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
I just wish you could just be like, no, the
story's over. That didn't happen. That didn't happen. It gets
so much better.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
I know.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Okay, let's go. Quote, I was disgusted by Jelly Roll's
divisive comments about the president, one said. Bruh, I love
his music. One of the others replied, tossing what appeared
to be a CD into a small fire pit. But
I will never listen to any of it again. Slowing down,
I approached them. Boys, what's the latest? I interjected.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Are you trying to keep your heart rate up, you
fucking loser?

Speaker 1 (46:26):
I couldn't help but hear you discussing Jelly Roll's performative
leftist virtue signaling on Jimmy Kimmel. How people talk. Go ahead.
No cap. I never liked him. Beats are weak and
he's chopped AF, one of the boys fired back. We
are burning our CDs to show our solidarity with DJT. Again,
really interesting shift in vernacular that the guy first just saying,

(46:48):
no cap. I never liked him. Beats are weak and
he's chopped AF. Right. We are burning our CDs to
show solidarity with DJT. Oh, okay. Very gentle. Help people talk. Again,
help people talk. He goes on. Bonfire in the park.
At the same time.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
And what time of day is he running? Are they
having a morning bonfire? He posted this at four in
the afternoon.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
So he said earlier, yeah, it could have been a
sunrise fuck jelly roll bonfire. Right, classic, yeah. That we
see all over the United States. Yes. He goes on,
I looked closer and I saw a heap of jelly
roll CDs spanning his entire discography, melting together in a
fury of patriotism-fueled flames.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
He could tell that they spanned his entire discography through
the fire.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
They were melted together, but he could tell that it
was a varied group of CDs.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Right, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I saw them all. Every
single one is unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
The other thing that makes me so mad about this,
sorry to cut you off, he did, he was, I
saw the Jelly Roll clips. They were, in fact, they
were cowardly. They were, like, incredibly middle of the road.
You could tell, like, they were like, let's split the
difference on this and just be like, I don't know.
I don't think he's doing such a great job.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
It was like, it wasn't even anything. Yeah, it wasn't
even a Hamill fire. But yeah, it's because he decided
not to do the glazing. So he got, Now he's
getting the heat. Sorry, they're melting together in a fury
of patriotism-fueled flames. Carry on, boys, I said as a
smile grew across my face. I threw another 20 pounds
into my vest. What? We'll get to that.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
What?

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Don't worry, mano. Okay. I threw another 20 pounds into
my vest. You should give Kid Rock a listen. He's
infinitely more talented than Jelly Royal. Trust me. I dapped
them all up and broke into a dead sprint to
finish out my run. The kids are going to be
all right. And scene. Breaking into a dead spring after

(48:46):
talking to Abigail. There's so many great moments. I threw
another 20 pounds into my vest. Into my vest. From later.
Thank you. yeah he's the witch of pungo well how
did he how did he just summon 20 pounds out
of nowhere out of thin air.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Yeah i literally was like do they have weighted vests
that somehow add weight like but that would violate the
laws of physics.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Absolutely violates the laws of physics because yeah where does
it where do those pounds hide you.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
Can't mass can't be created and destroyed yeah yeah exactly
i i thought at first he was saying like i
like put the cds in my vest because that was
a better use of them than trying.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
To figure it out right that's not what he said
no no he just somehow said i'm actually way even
more at He's like, at the end of the story,
I became somehow even more badass as I put another
20 pounds in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I did
a dead sprint. Sprinted away. Sounds like a five-year-old telling
you a lie about something. He's like, yeah, and then
I put 20 pounds more in the vest and I
sprinted all the way up the mountain. Yeah, totally. Cool.

(49:49):
All right, man. Yeah. That's cool, man. It sounded like
you had a cool birthday. That's awesome. Totally. Gen Z. Yeah,
the kids are going to be all right. And they
are all their CDs. There are many jelly roll CDs.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
It makes me, so it just blows my mind. It's like, like,
you know, our, our insane president tells stories like this.
Like there's like, it's very child.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
There's very like childlike stories with like insane exaggeration. Yeah. Right.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Like where like people tell him like, thank you for
everything you do.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
And they're all lies.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
But, um, it's so interesting that like, it's like a
shared characteristic of people who have no grasp on reality.

Speaker 6 (50:25):
Right.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
Yeah. I mean, this guy, I mean, That's the thing.
Everyone's like, is this satirical? But this guy's ruined his career,
like doing anything serious except for being like this MAGA
just pundit. And that's gotten him into the MAGAverse for sure.
So he's successful in that way. But like the way
he talks, you're like, oh, this guy completely lost it. Yeah,
because it's not because even it's funny because people be like, oh,

(50:49):
my God, I had a similar experience after I just
this is the replies to the tweet after I just
finished my hundred straight rep of 295 on the bench press.
And he said, many people are saying this is happening
all across the nation. Some another person just said, same
exact thing happened to me. There's a great awakening happening
in our nation. Right. Same exact thing happened. Yeah, dude, exactly. Exactly.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
If he made that up, Michael Mann needs to hire
him to doctor the Heat 2 script because his ear
for dialogue is so on point.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Oh, yeah, mate. No cap. I never liked him. Beats
a week and he's chopped AF. We are banning.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
He goes right from that to... We are burning our
CDs to show solidarity with DJT.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Right. It feels like a definite chat GPT. It's like,
give me some hardcore Gen Z slang for some kids
saying Jelly Roll sucks. How do I say that in
a Gen Z way? He's chopped, unk. No cap. I
never liked him. Beats are me. And he's chopped aft. Yeah,

(52:03):
that's fucking garbage. That is wild.

Speaker 6 (52:06):
That is.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Oh, oh, the stories were forced to listen to. Yeah.
But again, and like to create just I mean, this
this is all part of that disinformation ecosystem for conservatives
to be able to even read something like this. Oh, shit. OK,
so there is so there is there are repercussions for
Jelly Roll with the Gen Z bonfire crowd.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
I wonder if this one gets printed out. by the
human printer and served to Donald Trump, you know, because
I was saying that, like, I feel like Fortune 500
companies must have entire, like, trump glazing departments for you
know finding ways to please the their dear leader because

(52:48):
that does you know help their mind in the end
and so i wonder if like that's what we're seeing
is just people writing for an audience of one and
like they just know specifically that he will believe this
he right it's way sounds actually exactly right to me
it's like the way.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Google has changed the name of lake ontario to the
other name but only if you search it in america
so in the united states so it's it's so interesting
to me that it's like we're living in such a
stupid time that it's like google acknowledges it's not real
but they want to they want to be buddy buddy
with the guy giving them billion dollar tax cuts so
they're like if you search it in the states just

(53:27):
make it say like america it's too fucking stupid yeah
it's the village.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
It's a dumb dumb world we live in dumb Anyways,
beautiful scene happening out there.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Put tears in my eyes. Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back. And
we got to meet a new awesome CEO who is...

(54:00):
You know, he has some interesting ideas about work from
home and workers and just how to treat them generally. Yeah.
This clip is going around of an interview with the
CEO of the Morgan & Morgan law firm. America's largest
injury law firm in America. And they say America as
many times as possible. During this interview, John Morgan, who's
a CEO, started just tooting his own cruel horn for

(54:24):
his genius way to root out lazy work from home employees.
And he just says it with this cockiness that you
know the people he hangs around are like, oh, that's
fucking dope, dude. That's crazy, man. How do you make
it harder for your workers? This is John Morgan with
his cool, cool tactic for how to get people to

(54:45):
come back into the office.

Speaker 6 (54:46):
I mean, nobody wanted to come back to the office.
So I said, you know what? So these people didn't
want to come back to the office. Here's what we're
going to do.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
What is happening? What's happening with this voice?

Speaker 6 (54:56):
You can work from home. But guess what? We're going
to put a camera on your computer. We're going to
put a camera up your ass. We won't look at you.
It'll be a pixel. The first week, 23 people quit.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
He's smiling.

Speaker 6 (55:17):
It's not that they don't want to work from home.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
They don't want to work. Oh, Jesus.

Speaker 6 (55:22):
And the people who want to work from home now
are like, well, here's how it works. If you qualify,
we're going to have a camera on you. We're going
to be monitoring you closer than we would. And we
measure keystrokes. We have this productivity score that's incredible.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
AI, yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:39):
And look, what's going on is a lot of people
just don't want to work.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Yeah. So, great. A little camera up my ass for free? Yeah, right.
I mean, healthcare, man. Thanks, boss. It's like new kink unlocked.
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
That's the camera up your ass. It'll just be a
little pixel. You won't even feel it, but we'll be
able to feel you.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
But we'll know.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
I hate that I know this man. As someone from
North Carolina, I know this man.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
I know the vibe. Morgan.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Morgan handed everything he's ever wanted from his daddy and
now thinks he's a big, tough, hardworking guy because... I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
He, he wears a suit and you know what I mean?
He screams at a dozen people every day. So it
was like, that's work. It's also funny. Like so many
of these CEOs, like just haven't done the work of
their company in so long or, or ever in a
lot of instances that they don't even understand what needs
to be done or how it's done. So the only,
the only thing they know like work to be is

(56:48):
you sit your fucking ass down at that desk till
I say so.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
That's what I'm saying. That's what work is. And really,
he's like, no one wants to be, no one wants
to subscribe to my idea of captive labor that I'm
really into. And then mistaking people for like quitting and
like they're lazy. No, those are, in my experience, if
I heard that, I'd be like, nah, bro, I know
my fucking worth, bro. I'm not doing this shit. Fuck yeah.

(57:14):
I can go get a job fucking anywhere. Anywhere. But
not over this shit.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
And I guarantee this motherfucker is not in the office
five days a week.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I'll bet you that. I wish they could have said that.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
I'm like, I'll be here every hour you're here.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
How about that? Let's see. Yeah, yeah. And you're doing
work or are you just playing Wordle? Right. Or looking
up porn on your phone or some shit.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Hey, that would be like, they should be like CEOs
who are tracking their employees with AI technology should be,
that would be a great like reverse campaign to just
be like, yeah, okay, we're going to track your work
because None of these motherfuckers are doing as much work
as they claim to be doing.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Yeah. I mean, they do spend a lot of time
in meetings with other people who are CEOs and like banks.
And just the workforce is a problem to overcome and
a problem to solve for. And so that's where you
get shit like this, where it's just like, well, they're
all people who are trying to steal from our bottom line.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
They all look, they all, I mean, this is like
the perspective of labor that so many American companies have,
which is your, your, your employees are actually inmates in
a prison that you have to monitor. And cause you don't,
they might get together and do an uprising unionize. So
you better make sure that's not happening. So you better
surveil them. They better feel like they're in the fucking
panopticon being watched constantly. So they go sit at their

(58:37):
little desk and go click, click, click, click, click, click, click. And,
I think so many, like what's so underrated, you hear
so many people talk about like these companies, like great
productivity and you'll hear people like at Ted talks and stuff. Like,
how do I do it? I don't micromanage my workers. Right.
And I base this, we don't base the success of like,
or like efficacy of an employee on how much ass

(58:59):
time they have enough, like just pretending to work, but
like what, what their actual output is like, are the
tasks getting done? Great.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
You got time for more. Cool. but yeah i mean
i think this guy should just admit he wants to
spy on people at home period yeah thanks a lot
michelle foco thanks a lot Yeah, let's blame him for
seeing it coming. For seeing it coming. Yeah, fuck you
for perfectly explaining the current condition. Exactly, where we were headed.

(59:33):
But now we are being surveilled. I'm laughing because I'm
all the time, I'm like, it used to be Panopticon.
And now with fucking, what's it called? What's the evil
surveillance company? Flock. And Al's like, well, now you are
being watched. Do you know what I mean? It used
to be the illusion of being watched. We're in the
pan-flocticon now. That's right. Yeah. Which is funny, too, because
that asshole, right, who just last week was like, people

(59:54):
need to compromise their need for privacy so we can
be safe. He got doxxed over the weekend. I love it.
Did he like it? They're like, damn. How's that? Try
that on. You fuck with your privacy or not? No?

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
That's crazy. Damn, damn, damn. He lives in Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
I'll drop the address in the comments. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
People were like, this you? Yeah. Is this your address?
And the visual of his home is blurred on Google Maps. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:00:21):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Why? Hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
But then when they found out his address, was he like, good,
I welcome that. Because like I said, oh, he wasn't
cool with it? He didn't love it?

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, weird. No, I didn't like it at all. Hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Like the people who are like there, there's that thing
about where a journalist was like trying to go to
the like surveillance con or like the convention where all
the surveillance companies were coming together. It was like, and
they wouldn't invite us. So we like basically hacked, hacked
them and like used their technology to spy on people

(01:01:00):
and get these pictures of their faces. Like they, they
need to be, using that technology to like follow this guy.
I really honestly like model. You're so right on. Like,
I just want to see what a typical work week
is like for this motherfucker. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
For John Morgan.

Speaker 6 (01:01:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Oh my God. Very like Santa Claus or daddy. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
There's a, there's this weird narrative in our world where
it's like, well, I've earned the right to not do it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Right. I don't know. I don't know. Being given this
job by my dad. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think, yeah,
I mean, that's just kind of how class works in
most societies, too. But the way like Americans specifically are like, well,
once you become CEO, you're a demigod. That's all where
we're ending up, right? At that point, I am the

(01:01:49):
one who dictates the laws of reality to my employees
as if they are my creations because I am now
a god.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
You've got to work hard enough, but somehow manage to
not work yourself to death, which is always the issue.
You don't want to die at your desk. So, you know,
maybe only 21 hours a day. He also has a
way of speaking that I was noticing with the DSA guy,
or not DSA, the... uh, Tom Holman guy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Oh yeah. Drunken broncat.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Why do they all sound shit faced all the time?
Like this guy's like, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Like in, in, when he started out, he was like, Oh,
I gotta get my shit together here.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
You were so right when you said like, talking in
a way that you can tell his circle is other
pieces of shit.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
So like, he's like, I told him to get off
of their butt and work.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
It's like, you can tell he's only surrounded by other
people who are.

Speaker 7 (01:02:47):
Unbelievably wealthy and work two hours a week who validate
that kind of speaking as opposed to being like, you're
not aware that people are busting their ass to survive.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
You're so clueless. Like, You never touched a real person.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
That story usually ends with the person then offering to
karate fight him and him defeating them in a karate battle.
I feel like it's that level of rigorous truth-telling.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Yeah. Also, it's funny, too, because he... Just to show you,
the Democrats can also be a piece of shit. He
was like a huge fundraiser for the Democratic Party, too. Oh, yeah.
And then once he saw these progressives getting in, he
was also part of launching the Common Ground Party.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
Oh, hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
Earlier this year. That sounds nice. Yeah, man. It's Common Ground. Basically,
we're holding on violently to the center. That's kind of
our whole thing. That's right.

Speaker 5 (01:03:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
But like we see all these kinds of like fake
ass parties come out. We just want to appeal to
the Republicans and Democrats. I feel like they don't have
a home. What about us?

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
You guys, I was just in a public space where
someone literally out loud was like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
I guess I'm more moderate.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
And I literally just instead of I'm not doing any
of the emotional labor anymore. I just literally said, I'll
be right back. I just never came back.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
I just didn't. I usually would be like, yeah, you know, totally.

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
I'm like, I'm like, I'm not doing that anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Wait, how did that, what was the topic that came
up that had that person proclaim they were a moderate?
I'm trying to remember. It was something to do with money. Again,
I was up to pay them all. Who deserves it?

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
I was at the Topanga Mall and someone who has
money was, you know, that's.

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
What it was.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
More of a moderate. Yeah. More of a moderate. And
I was like, I'm not doing this. I'm walking away.
I'm just done babysitting that sort of behavior. Yeah. Damn.
And that was the person that brought you to Chain, too.
That's great. Yeah, it was. Piece of shit. All right,
I gotta go. I have my moppo. My Moppo Crunchwrap. Yeah,
BJ Noble. Hey, are you enjoying your Moppo Crunchwrap Supreme?

(01:04:55):
You know, I'm a bit of a moderate if we're
going to talk politics. You know, I just think the
Democrats are going crazy, huh? I'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Mano, such a pleasure having you as always.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Oh, thank you for having me. Where can people find you,
follow you, hear you, see you, all that good stuff?

The racist white lady. She has released a.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Movie called I Want to Be Ninja.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
And it's like a documentary narrative about why she's not
racist and her.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
Wow. It's fucking crazy. That video is wild because like
there's legitimate little pans to people in the audience who
are like Asian.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Yeah. Like it feels like a scene from The Office.
Like the Dundies award where Michael's doing the racist Asian character.
He's like, oh, that'll be there. And then they show
a woman in the Chili's who's Asian being like, what
the fuck is this shit?

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
And that woman is in this film. She like corners.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
Wow. Yes. She like corners this poor woman and is like,

woman's like, no, no, I know. She's like, good, because
I'm not.

dumb shit. Yeah. I see this Asian woman right here.
She's like, where the fuck? She tracks her down. Jack Nicholson,
front row at the Lake Show right now.

Speaker 6 (01:08:23):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Her name is Jennifer Murphy. She's the heir to the
Murphy bed fortune. Oh, my. And what she's talking about
is competitors from Chinese markets and how she wants to
be more competitive than them. That's why she wants to
be ninja. What? I like this one. Blonde lady's like,

(01:08:56):
I'm loving it. And this poor Asian woman has to
watch this. dumb racist bullshit. Has not moved in three minutes.
It's just like, yeah. I know marginalized people know that
feeling when you got front row seats to the fuckery
and you can't just crash out or just leave. Right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
This won't shock you. She's from Huntington Beach.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
You know that's true. You know that's true. Home of
the ninja. Obviously. Holy shit. So yeah, if you want
to deep dive into trash. So that was a Murphy
bed event. So she's Jennifer Murphy. They sell Murphy beds.
Murphy beds are the beds that just come down from
the wall? From the wall, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
And obviously there's been competition from other markets. So now
she released that song as a way to be like,
we're going to be competitive with Asian markets. that obviously
are probably offering a better product for cheaper. That was
a corporate sponsored video performance.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
Yeah. That was like an event. Oh my God. What
Nepo Nepo ultimately. She's got a whole website where she's
selling all kinds of bullshit.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
Yes, and the movie's free on YouTube if you want
to punish yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
What's this headscarf? Is this for hijabis? What the hell
is that? It's a ninja head cover, cotton headscarf. Oh, my.
And it's good for skin cover, you know, and that
is good.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
She spent a lot of money on this movie.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Like, oh, my God. It's a picture of white moms
when they say hola at a Chinese restaurant. What? The fuck,
white people, take care of your own, please. Jesus. What
the fuck is this shit? That's what I've been doing.
I'm going to ask one sweet friend when we get
done with this podcast and give him a call. So, yeah. Sorry.

(01:10:43):
Sorry and thank you. Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
That's the kind of deep dive on trash we like
to do on VLO Trash. So, join us on Patreon.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
She just did a thing with little people fighting each
other in the ring. What? What? Go girl. She's doing
bad friends with Bobby Lee and Santino. This is Bobby
Wee and Andrew Santini hosted by Micro Joe. Dude. My God.

(01:11:14):
It's crazy when socioeconomically whiteness and wealth truly has you
in the mindset where people are not people, man. These
are motherfuckers I just fuck around with. They're not human
beings at all. These are just toys.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
And I'm like, I'm doing my ninja shit. I got
like this whole, whatever the fuck this is. It's like
the opposite of shame. It's like whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
Don't have the opposite of shame. It's called caucasity. The
sheer caucasity. Miles, where can people find you? Is there
a work of media you've been enjoying? Yeah, I'll be
looking for a fucking counselor to speak with after seeing
the whole ninja verse I was just exposed to. I'll
find me everywhere at milesofgray.com. talking about English football on

(01:11:58):
Ain't It Footy with Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin. Please
subscribe to that feed over there. The latest episode, you
can hear the Geist Child begging me to get on
microphone as I'm lamenting what I've done. I don't want
him to think that this is a way to live, child.
You have your own thing. No way to live. I
want you to be ninja, son. Please. Yeah, and then

(01:12:21):
also talking about 90 Day Fiancé on 420 Day Fiancé.
A couple works of media I like is... Stand up
comedian Michael Dede, who's at Can't Guard Mike. He posts
like little clips of his sub stack where he goes
by Mike Berniglia. He's a funny black comedian. But like
he has these articles like it's a picture of Dave

(01:12:41):
Portnoy says, you have no bitches. You've never been with
a baddie and you are scaring the hoes. Being a
cisgender heterosexual man, I've spent the better part of my
life in close proximity to other cisgender heterosexual men. As such,
I have always been keenly aware of these men's relationships
to women, or more precisely, to the hoes. Men who,

(01:13:01):
regardless of their height, income, grooming, or social positioning, exhibit
an almost preternatural ability to repel women. They do not
merely fail to attract, they actively generate aversion. They do
not lack opportunity so much as they negate it upon arrival.
In the vernacular, these men, quote, scare the hoes. He's
also a defense attorney. So he's like, there's another one,

(01:13:24):
Beyond Dostoevsky, male vulnerability in the verses of Playboy Cardi.
And his latest one is, does heteronormativity force us to
engage in performative backshots? This is what many people want
to know. Oh. And he just has such fantastic writing

(01:13:45):
on this stuff. It's really worth checking out. I've got
a huge laugh from his writing. And hopefully we'll have
him on the show soon. Yeah. I liked a tweet.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
So the Wall Street Journal tweeted a article with the headline,
ditch the 40 ounce water bottle. You're probably hydrated enough.
And then the tweet was, you don't need to make it.
drinking water a part-time job since too much of it
doesn't have any real health benefit and uh zito at
underscore zeets just retweeted the two shots from mad max

(01:14:19):
fury road with morton joe addressing the crowd saying do
not my friends become addicted to water it will take
hold of you and you will resent its absence oh
shit yeah Somebody else in the comments said soft launching
water shortage.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
Yeah, yeah. You actually don't need, like, too much water
is bad for you guys. You should just cool it
with that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):

Footnotes.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
Which is where we link off to the information that
we talked about in today's episode, as well as a
song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, is there
a song that you think that people might enjoy?

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
Yeah, this is a track called Gravitron by Paul Spring,
another artist I just came upon on Instagram. And this
sounds like if there was like a little jam band
at a medieval renaissance fair. Like if that band got
kind of a little bit funky with it and gave
you a little something that you're like, Oh, this is,

(01:15:31):
I see y'all playing a loop over there, but you're
kind of getting, you're rumping and pumping on that thing. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
It's dope. I mean, a lot, it's got a ton
of likes on Instagram and I just saw it recently,
but I think you'll, it's, it's, it's got something for everybody.
So this is Gravitron by Paul Sprink. All right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
