We're gonna catch up with you a little bit more
in a moment. But first we're going to tell our

reviewed us over these past two days. But we're still
under reviewed. Rocca still got seeing Jack like me? Uh

(02:13):
so yeah, screen cap your review, share it with us.
If it's entertaining, we'll shut you out. Second of while,
we're gonna take our listeners through what we're talking about today. Oh,
we got so much to cover you guys. It was
a wild weekend. Uh. At the end of last week,
Corey Booker entered the game. We're going to talk about
how Trump is starting to lose evangelicals, Harry Potter beerfest.

(02:39):
Just that's the thing. Uh, Mitch McConnell finally, just admitting
that it's bad for Republicans when people vote. Facebook being awful, perdue,
pharma in the Sackler family being awful. Uh, DNA testing
companies being chilled being well, we'll see, depends on how

(03:01):
you feel about your DNA being shared with FBI. All
of that and more. But first, Danny, we like to
ask our guess, what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are? Yes? So this was
very revealing about myself, not just me, but like the
world as a whole, I want to say. Taking a
different direction, I this weekend wanted to watch The Poulter Guys.

(03:21):
I love that film, and so I was typing, but
it's not on Netflix. I guess. Actually, I think starting
in February it is, so I had to pay for
it because I wanted to watch it in January. So anyway,
so I typed in watch p Like to find where
I could where I could get it before it populated, No,
before it populated. The first search was not porn. It
was watch people die. Damn damn search. No, that's not

(03:46):
mine where you on a library computer, because that's not
my Google knows who. I just didn't watch for you
watch people that in second one? Watch Patriots games? Yes,
thank you? I'm oh. Is it because of the subreddit? Okay,
So I want to clarify. I have never typed in

(04:07):
watch people Die. But when you type and watch p
I mean that's what that's what. Probably I got Patriots
game first because Google mills I'm a Patriots fan, but
people Die second. That is, I want to say, very
telling of this world as a whole. Yea. And so
when I did finally type in watch Poulter, I didn't
even get to Geist. The first thing that came up
was Poulter Geist too, Like, how is it? How is

(04:31):
that more search than the first Poulter guys? Anyways? How far?
How many years moved? Second? I think it was only
a couple of years, eight six? This is some purge ship.
I mean that was interesting to me to discover about
humanity as a whole. Weekend when I just wanted to

(04:52):
watch a scary filmy some People's going to die or whatever.
That phrases. Third is watch artie, which at first I
was like, Oh, that's the saddest thing, people watching a party,
but I think it's actually like watch party, how to
have a watch party, how do I do I have friends?

(05:16):
How to chill out with people. This is one of
my favorite things to do, though, is look at like
what Google suggests, because that is the most just It's certain.
It tells you what people are. Our collective mind is thinking,
do you think it's weird that watch porn was not?
But I don't think people are typing. I think yeah,

(05:38):
And I also don't think like I think people know
the places to go. I don't know if they're necessarily
like watch the porn, they go to Sublime directory, dot com,
watch people, how to log on to the Facebook, how
to use the facebooks? What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Okay,

(05:59):
so everybody that I've seen on the East Coast that
is dealing with the horrible, horrible weather in um in
the Midwest and the Midwest. But what I've seen a
trend on is everyone that's shopping on Los Angeles for
not dealing with it, like it's just you got a rainstorm.
When they totally forgot that. We just had our lungs
burned up from wildfires for several months, and we're gonna

(06:21):
do that all over again in a couple of months,
so we I mean, that was horrific for us. Um.
So I just think it's funny that people gets so
easy in Los Angeles with your weather. Like, yeah, but
we our houses burned down and I had to go
to the doctor because of how bad the smoke was. Yeah,

(06:42):
I had to order masks. I now have air which
I high filter. I had to get one of those
like specific ones that you're supposed to get for wildfires. Um.
And then I yeah, I had to stay in the
hotel the year before. So anyways, yeah, look, we don't
it's they act like people act like we will it
to the weather to be so cool, So we're to
blame for living here, right, Look, my parents just they

(07:03):
fucked here, That's how I Okay, so that's the problem.
But I get it, I think, you know, but it
also you know, whenever people endure ship, you also kind
of need that to make you feel a little bit stronger, like, yeah,
I'm dealing with this fucking you know, crying, We're all
gonna die from ground zero disease or whatever. Yeah, we're

(07:23):
all we're all being affected by climate change, is what
I'm saying. And so just catch our ass in three
months when we're tweeting about our wildfire or the earthquake
that was just cracked this in and stuff. Yeah, there's
nothing more hopeless than or like you feel so trapped
when there's a wildfire and you just can't breathe the
air outside. You're just like ship, especially when you can

(07:43):
see it and you're like, oh, tell kids to not
touch it, because like I need to fucking rinse all
this ship off because you can't interact with these so
that we get it. Everyone don't smoke it because you
might start a wildfire. Who is experiencing more pain? What
is something? You think it's overrated? I think DVDs and
Blu ray are overrated. One of my friends like, I

(08:04):
just okay, I think HDD. I don't think it's going anywhere.
I mean, I have a friend of mine that just
has shelves of Blue Rays, and I just think it's cluttered,
like I don't know, I'm not on some Marie Condo

(08:25):
ship or whatever. I always thought that it just looked
it was too much, Like you can watch that stuff
on like you can buy it online and own it forever.
Like I don't know, this podcast does not publish. I
think they're gonna get tired of it, no listen, But
it's still a huge thing. I guess maybe I'm in

(08:46):
a different I'm adjacent to y'll because I'm in like film,
Twitter and film like they you know, so they think
that film should be watched in a certain way and
like obviously seen on screen and like yeah, and then
Blu Ray and like especially oh the superhero people, Like
people are super into Martin, Like they get the Blu
Ray of Infinity War, Yes, exactly, And I'm just like

(09:07):
it really, I mean, it does look different, but it
doesn't really matter, Like do you need this man? Do
you have at home theater to like justify Like I
get if you're like watching on something over people. It's
so funny y'all said that it's not a big deal
because people will probably write you about it is a
big deal to Blue Ray people. People know I'm probably

(09:28):
like I'm kind of private how old I am because
this is probably making a comeback that I was like,
I'm still thinking about the old school DVD click. But
I think of like I used to hord DVDs two
because that was the flex you know what I mean.
That was like a physical manifestation of your film taste
that you you could gesture too and be like yeah

(09:48):
I got that, and be like, oh you never see
a city of God? Got everybody should if everybody if
you were early odd school person. Um, but like, yeah,
I see now. We were just talking about how like
that service Ultra Violet, which is like you know, you
get a code if you got a DVD, so you
have like cloud based storage of a film. They're going
out of business because we're moving away from physical media.

(10:09):
And part of me understands, like why you want the
physical thing there? Because I do look at like DVDs
that are in a garage that I have that I'm like,
oh man, we have some good times. But then in
my mind, I'm like I can summon this instantly on
the internet, so I sell all of mine. I get
sent some too, and I just sell them. I'm like
I don't need the And it's so funny because people like, oh,
I want to win this blue ray. I'm like like cool,

(10:31):
Like I'd rather win the code to just watch it, Like,
here's a link to a anyways, I'm sure people Blue
Ray people. Yeah, you sell the SAG screeners too. You
were saying, yeah out of the back of your car.
I think I saw you the other day. No, but
I get Look, it's the same way like I like
to collect vinyl records because that's my thing. Is sort

(10:55):
of like yo, when the great solar flares happen and
knock out all electricity, I can have a hand cranked
an old gramophone type thing and I can still listen
to J Dilla while the world collapses, but can't use
c D. Yeah, but I guess we need like what
like an actual film is the only like true analog form.
If you but the thing you need the audio, forget it,
forget my doomsday scenario media. Man. But that's that's interesting

(11:18):
to me that Miles, you are okay with uh like
records and analog and ship like that, because you have
one of the most attuned ears like I've I've ever witnessed.
You'll be like, is there like a point six million bag.
I'm like, I think there's a little bit of my

(11:38):
missing from my monitors here. Yeah. Yeah, but it doesn't
bother you to listen to its own vibe. You know
it's got a warmer sound. Yeah, sure, And you know,
I guess also, I think it's just also because I
used to DJ, so I have like an affinity for
with records and I just like to have them around.
But yeah, I mean, look, if we're gonna go there, like,
you know, should be rocking some flak files, you know,

(11:59):
have your super high fidelity setup going, like the Dad
in Uh what was that movie? What was the HBO
special High Fidelity? No? Remember the with Amy Adams. Oh,
Sharper Sharper objects. Remember her, that's Sharper objects. It's just
sharp objects, sharp sharper image. I'm completing Sharper image, sharp objects,

(12:20):
Sharper objects. Where it's all about the tech. No, but
remember the step Dad character his stereo system, and I
mean he made that look cool. He was a cool
character you want to, right, But it was more of
the fact that like a bunch of like audio files
like clocked it and we're like, yo, that is an
eight thou dollar stereo that guy has. And I was like, yeah,
see if you're really on that audio file ship, Yeah,

(12:40):
people are really into it, dropping a tesla worth of
fucking audio equipment in your house. Yeah yeah, And finally
you already teased to us before we record of what
your myth is going to be. And guys, hold onto
your butts in your ears. I am. Yeah. So there's
this huge meme kind of in a counts that are
being shared that are saying that Goofy is a cow

(13:03):
and it bugs the ship out of me. I always
come in with Goofy news, so I have to. It's
being shared by the site started it called mouse Links
and then real Rundown as well, and I've seen it
be shared thousands of times, and it's essentially like how
old were you when you realize Goofy was actually a
cow and not a dog, And everyone like, oh my god,

(13:23):
I was today years old, you know what. Everyone's just
like eating it up and in it they even say, um,
Disney's establishment isn't telling you that Goofy is really a
cow to be specific in Aberdeen Angus cattle. The fact
that Disney would love to cover up considering that Goofy's
natural origin is anything but American in nineteen thirty nine,
with American nationalism at a historic hite like so, they

(13:44):
actually took time to write this and people are eating
it up, like people keep sending it to me, like, Danny,
did you know this? Why the fun would you think?
He looks like a cow? They put him next to
Clara Bell, who is a cow, yes, thank you, has
a little puppy. No, yeah, and uh so they put
him next to Claire Belt. And I've researched this, Yeah,

(14:05):
because I very easy person. I'm a very healthy, stable adult.
Horace horse caller who is talking to Claire Belt is
a horse like that I could see, not Goofy. Goofy
I think has maybe had a relationship with Claire Belt.
I don't know. I don't judge him, but um, he
is a dog. Things that people don't know though, is

(14:27):
that Pete? You know, Pete like kind of his friendly
rival who has PJ. You know how Goofy has Max
and Pete has Pyes, yes, yes, the big like gnarly
dooms a bowler hat. Yeah, Pete is a cat. So
I think everyone thinks in the Goofy movie universe that
Pete is a dog. Pete is actually a cat and
has been a cat since like I guess Steamboat Willie

(14:48):
or whatever, but he is in fact a cat he's
he's kind of was a rival of of Mickey Mouse,
and it makes sense that he was kind of made
to be this bully. Yeah, I mean he looks nasty.
Goofy is not a cow. If you see that meme,
please strike that person down. Yeah, and just hit him
with the Snopes article that come out dog, because so

(15:10):
many people have been tweeting about it. Um. I respect
the person that did the troll nous of this. I
think though when it starts to be people really believing
it though, that like, not just as a joke, but
people were legitimately, like I had know, this is dangerous.
This is dangerous to Disney as a whole. And I

(15:31):
would and I don't want to say this, but this
could contribute to Trump's re election And I'm just gonna
say that. I'm going out there. I mean, speaking of
Trump and Disney, it is interesting to note all the
design similarities between Mickey Mouse and old minstrel cartoons. So yeah,
that's something to look into. That's a little skeleton the
Disney closet. That racist. But yeah, keep worrying about whether

(15:56):
I don't know what I love Disney, h it's one
of them. Yeah, you don't I'm not trying to make
it hot for you, you know what I mean, Hey,
Disney's tight further record, yes or no heat here. Let's
talk about Corey Booker. Guys. Yeah, he has entered the game.
He a new player has entered the game, and it
is Corey Booker telling everybody from the start of Black

(16:19):
History Month, he's throwing his hat in the ring running
for president. He's obviously, we've known this was coming because
I've been doing all kinds of tours and you know,
Jimmy Carter's like, I think you should run for president. Yeah. Yeah,
he was, and Jimmy Carter looked happy and that made
me happy. But yeah, I mean, look, we know it's coming.
He's got a solid progressive record. Uh. And in terms

(16:40):
of his voting record in the Senate, fan of Medicare
for all and like federal jobs guarantee. Uh. And it's
like really into bipartisanship, like really really into like he
really wants to find a way to work across the aisle,
even though he's mostly working with like the only black Republican,
Tim Scott. He's like, look, we can we can figure
something out here. But you know, he's got a good heart.

(17:01):
I think that really Again, the ship he's gonna get
hammered on from the left is gonna be his. He
loves him some Wall Street and the financial sector, they
love him back. He him and Chris Christie love each
other too, and Big Pharma because there's a lot of
pharmaceutical companies based in New Jersey, so he's got a
he's got a bit of a relationship with them. But

(17:22):
you know, like we said, no one's perfect, and we'll
see what what he comes out with. But he didn't
like I mean, if you think about the last year
he had, he was had a pretty good criminal justice
reform bill he pushed through the Senate that had some
good things. Some people, you know, critics will say didn't
go far enough. I think that's true, but it's definitely
something good. So you know, well we shall see. Have

(17:44):
people kind of interviewed him about bipartisanship with regards to Obama,
like that was Obama's whole thing is like, we're not
the blue states or red states for the United States
of America, right well, and that ended up being a
hindrance to his ability to get shipped done when he
was the press in it because the Republicans were just like, no,
nothing gets passed by this president because he's you know,

(18:09):
a Democrat black. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I
I've not heard anything specifically. I mean, he's just starting
to do a ton of interviews and things like that.
I love that he already has sponsors because this was
tweeted by hot Pockets that says, don't forget about us
when you get elected. And it's him holding a lean pocket.
He's just a fan. Alright, Well, you know what, Hot

(18:32):
Pocket already laying down their presidential candidate. Already hot Pockets
stepping in the ring. An endorsement from hot Pocket. That's
actually a big deal in the You know what, I
predicted the last presidential elections, it's who's taller and who
gets endorsed and Olympic gold medal counts they predicted. Hopefully
he's not in the hot pocket of food company. Right,

(18:56):
he's not the best in the biss for not you
can hit it. Give me that there we Meanwhile, another news,
Trump is starting to lose some support amongst evangelicals, just
a little bit, just a tiny bit, seven percent from
approval down to sixty six. But it is a welcome

(19:17):
shift that I think we've just been waiting for, like,
when is this gonna happen? Right, because he's not really proudly,
he's not made good on like he's like, you know,
abortion is gonna be over forever. Uh, And I mean
his his attacks on the LGBTQ community have been pretty
I'm sure excited the evangelical crowd, but it could be
just between his just sort of utter inability to govern

(19:40):
properly and get things done legislatively. Maybe a reason for
the sink in numbers, but damn even sixty six percent. Yeah,
that's too much. It was. It's weird that it was
even there to begin with, given his lifestyle and history.
But that's like the least. I mean, I know that
they're not that's not why they're following him, but have
this cognitive Yeah, they're just they're all about those wedge

(20:05):
issues of abortion and uh, you know, gay rights well,
and I think they over I think we sort of
spoke to about why evangelical specifically, not just religious people,
but evangelical specifically, are you know, we're able to dismiss
or look past his you know, affairs and lying and
just sort of terrible way he had like has no
respect for women. Uh, it's just sort of like a

(20:26):
lot of the thinking in the evangelical community is all
about tradition and keeping things the same, so that means
women should still be just below men. So there's still
that like I think rocking for him, and I think
that's just he's tapping into that which allows them to
be like, No, I mean, look, nobody's perfect. As the
Bible suggests, women deserve to be treated like ship by men, right, yes, yes,

(20:47):
But at the same time, nobody likes to bACC a loser.
And the fact that he hasn't been getting shipped done
and is turning out to be a disastrous, failed president,
I think is maybe. I think you're right that it
has where to do with that than anything having to
do with Christian ethics. It's just people are like, did
he back the wrong guy here? Making us look bad? Uh?

(21:09):
And finally we want to talk about the Harry Potter
beer fest? You guys, the beer fest. I didn't know
people needed. Yes, it's well, that's why I was saying
that Harry Potter is to an entire generation, like what
they have instead of rock music. It's like, you know,
a certain like our parents generation would like go to
the record store and like line up the night before

(21:31):
to get a new album released. And that's what like
like outside the Tower Records for that ticket Master counter exactly.
I'm getting these. But Harry Potter was like the thing
for an entire generation, I feel like, so it makes
sense that they would have a music festival of Harry Potter.
But beer, yeah, beer, I mean it's just a place
for a bunch of people to get funked up in

(21:52):
a field. I'm assuming. Yeah, well, I think you know again,
they're going after adult Potter fan bucks, which is fine,
And you know they say it's going to be touring
the US, so it'll be in Portland, Vegas, Denver, Seattle, Phoenix, Indianapolis,
in Louisville, and uh, you know that you're gonna have
tastings of what they say are over twenty winter pumpkin
and holiday ales including snaps, layer of Secret cider potions,

(22:14):
and adult butter beer. And they'll have like the venue
will be decorated to look like you know places from
the book. A lot of places have been doing that.
Because we were talking about how they have scumm and
Villainy here, which is the star wars. Yeah, yeah, and
then there also was was it to the mat Like,
what was that one? The maxill I mean, everyone's just
capitalizing on nostalgia and the fact that we can all drink. Now,

(22:37):
this is the generation we finally hit it. We can
We've we've gotten out of the recession. Most you have
jobs now you can throw your money away at this
beer and order. You've lost your media job and you
can throw your money away now unemployment away. But I
like that they say there'll there will be activities include
a Hagrid photo op and live music from Slytherin Sisters

(22:58):
and DJ Dumbledore DJ Dumbledoor. I wonder what his drop
is like. I wonder if musicians are like Christian musicians,
like they're just like a difference. Now they're probably like
they probably have like a folk group, but they like
love Harry Potter and then they just pivoted. They're like,

(23:19):
what if we just changed our lyrics from one to three? Four?
I had sex with dumbledoors. Okay, yes, these are songs.
I'm hoping those would be songs they sing. But I
don't know. I don't know what a Harry Potter band
sounds like. I have a feeling. It's just regular music
with Potter lyrics. It sounds like that bit that Bill
Hayter did on SNL. There's like activities including the Hagrid
photo op and live music from Slithering Sisters, and this

(23:44):
place has everything. I mean, yeah, good good on them.
I think Trilbo Swagons will also be DJ. That is
a real DJ. That is a real DJ. Okay, cool,
but not a Harry Potter theme. But I just love that.
When I saw that on a Bill, I was like, yo,
good good on you. And yes, I know, Billbo Baggins

(24:05):
is not a Harry Potter character. Guys, but you were
talking about how J. K. Rowling is catching some heat
for rewriting Lord Revisionist ng her own history. Yeah, I
mean the most popular one that just happened on National
Trivia Day was when she said that muggles before there
was plumbing would just like squat and relieve themselves and

(24:25):
then vanish the evidence. So you don't even have to
have porta potties at these Harry Potter beer festival. I
mean they would just dropped ship wherever and make it disappear.
And so now there's a bunch of tweets. My favorite
thing like if you just look on Twitter and search
jk Rawling, it's like all these people just like making
fun of it, and it'll be like no one nothing.
It will be like jk Rawling, like Dobby didn't vote

(24:47):
for the Iraq War. It'll just be something random like that. Also,
did you say muggles did you meant wizards? Oh? Sorry,
what does this say before muggle plumbing? Sorry? Before I
wanted to save you from a rap? Thank you muggle.
That's the one thing I do know before muggle plumose
are lames who don't magic um in the eighteenth century,

(25:08):
which is and wizards simply relieve themselves whenever wherever they
stood and vanished the evidence. I mean, this is kind
of part of her trend of like when she made
Dumbledore queer, yeah, like Bohemian rapsody gay, where it was
like he's inoffensively you know, not they don't show right,
they don't show it at all. It's not character about it.

(25:29):
Or did she just come out and be like, well,
oh yeah, he's gay, So there's that. It was on
a panel. It was on a panel, I think, I believe,
and which is cool, but then like put it into
something so when you read it, You're like reflective representing
this person. Yeah yeah, you know that would be great
if queer people could see themselves represent It's not just
an after fact, like an asterisk in the back an asterisk.

(25:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so this is But anyways, definitely take
your time on Twitter and just google her name and
all of the people that are coming up with random stuff.
I've just thought the Wizarding World versus the Muggle world
as a good metaphor for what the South was prior
to the Civil War because they were overdependent on you know,
slavery and the cotton. That was like the only thing

(26:12):
they did and it was basically their uh superpower, and
they never had to learn how to do anything else. Uh.
And I feel like the Wizarding World similar They never
like that's why they don't have any technology, that's why
they don't have science, and it still works out for
them because magic is better than slavery. All right, wow,

(26:35):
and you wrote that all on the on that side
of a tacat box. Well, I just blacked out where
I'm alright, we're gonna take a quick break, we'll be
right back, and we're back. And Mitchie McConnell made a

(26:59):
mistake and accidentally told the truth for like a sentence.
I guess. Yeah. So you know, the Democrats have put
a bill out, you know they want to Uh. I
think it's a Restored Democracy Act, which is really popular
with many people because it's just a bill that's trying
to make it easier to vote address a lot of
just sort of you know, weaknesses, like lobbying reforms and

(27:22):
like better ethics and things like that exactly, so things
ship that most people are like, yeah, this this sounds good.
Oh wow, And let's make election day a federal holiday.
So you have to go who like could possibly be against? Right?
So now Mitch McConnell, who is runs the Senate, Uh,
he chose to speak about this in a really odd way.

(27:43):
So listen to him on the floor last week. Never
bill would make election day a new paid holiday for
government workers uh huh, and created a pause for outrage,
brand new paid leave benefit for up to six days
for any federal bureaucrat who decided they'd like to hang
out at the polls during an election. That's what American

(28:06):
as another paid holiday and a bunch of government workers
being paid to go out and work. Some are folks
on our colleagues on the other side on their campaigns.
So he he seems to think that Americans are more
anti holiday than we really are. He's like, we need

(28:29):
more holidays. It's easy for him to say because he
doesn't have to have a real job. Anybody who's out
here working, they're like, yes, another holiday, kidding me. I
love the assumption that everybody would be voting for this,
for liberal because and then he's he goes on, he
goes on to just frame this as some kind of
like far left power grab to just dismantle our democracy.

(28:51):
What he's just doing is, like I said, he runs
the Senate, right, so it would probably get it out
of the House because we have the majority in on
the House, and then we'll go move to the Senate
where he could just be like not fam but I
vote on this and just let that ship die. And
he didn't have to give this thing air at all.
So why do you think he did. I don't know.
It's really weird because by him coming out against this

(29:12):
so like sort of just like enthusiastic, like, oh, there's
nobody wants the government holiday. Like yo, all you're saying
is I'm scared shitless because this is a bill that
would take away all of our fuccory cheat codes. We've
been using the game Shark of elections on this ship,
and they're trying to make his play by the rules.
And if people are if we make it easier for

(29:34):
for Americans to vote, then that means Democrats win. It
is essentially what the thesis is of his argument. So
I'm glad that you get it that in a pure,
you know, battle of arguments and ideas, that your dumb
ship will lose out to the ideas of progressives. So again,
but it's just a really weird thing for him to
come out like, because again, he could have just not

(29:55):
said anything and just let this thing withered away. Right.
He just assumes everybody hat it's time off and loves
to work and also just evil soar on creeps like
him that they would just be chilling at the poll Yeah, yeah,
I'm taking my six days. Like if these people who
are apparently hanging out at the polls, just like, what

(30:17):
are you doing? Oh, I'm going to hang out the
polls and I'm going to intimidate the ship out of
voters and these are government workers, and then I'll go
back to my job at the e p A. The
scariest of all people, government bureaucrats. How dare they get paid? Yeah,
it's okay anyway, So you know, you know, partner me
does it warms my heart a little bit because it
shows he shook it. He knows, And I think that's

(30:39):
probably a way for him to ring the alarm to
donors and the corporatocracy at large, to be like, hey,
this you we need to fight this thing with all
our might. And these are kind of ideas that are
going to dismantle, are not totally dismantled, but make it
much harder for people to inject like corporate money into
UH elections or carve out just ridiculous looking districts and

(31:00):
jerry and jerrymandering to give yourself an unfair advantage of
voter suppression. Ship like that. So do we still have
Christopher Columbus Day? Don't? Didn't we have that still? I
think it's been changed to Indigenous People's Day. And but
when we made that change, we stopped giving people off. Yes,
that's what I mean is that could we take then?
If well that's better? But like if I was going

(31:21):
to say, if it's still is being in some states Christopher, Like,
can they just take that day? Yeah, like one of
these other days that we don't need. Oh wait, no,
they it is a federally recognized holiday, is yeah, alright
October four, and it's been officially changed, so it's not
in like schools, they're not calling it Christopher Columbus Day.

(31:41):
I believe it's state by state. Yeah, so that's what
I mean, is that not all places have changed it. Right,
remember that in the Sopranos, right, we're getting that the
Native American activists are about to funk up that Christopher
Columbus Staids and all the mobsters came out there like
this is our history. Uh well, speaking of people like

(32:02):
Mitch McConnell who have a pulse on the Fellow teen community,
Facebook has tricked a bunch of teens and adults and
adults into using a VPN to basically get all of
the data just basically they're damn watching just everything that
you do. They are drinking it up. Yeah. They were

(32:25):
marketing it as like you know, like if you're going
through Instagram stories and I'm like, hey, do you want
to participate in a like a paid social media research study?
And then you download this app and you wouldn't know
Facebook had anything to do with it, so you got
like a few levels deeper into actually trying to use
this software. And yeah, like you said, it just asks
for root level access to your phone, so Facebook and

(32:45):
access fuck your emails, your messaging, your shopping, fucking location
based on the information other apps are sending it. Uh.
And it was you know, like, if you're a miner,
we had to get parental consent. But what they do
is give you twenty bucks a month, plus twenty bucks
for every friend you referred. And they've been doing this
since and then they just finally stopped because people started

(33:07):
like Apples like, hold the funk up, what are you doing?
And Google uh did something similar as well, and Apple
had to just kind of smack them on the hand
a little bit and be like, we like to control
our app marketplace. Uh you know, I mean Apple is
mad because it's they're like, we could have had that
right data. They're like, also, we might already be taking it.

(33:30):
I don't know right. Unfortunately for consumers, Facebook just announced
their quarterly earnings and they blew it out. Bro uh
in Wall Street terms, they crushed it because apparently European
and Asian growth is fueling an incredibly successful quarter for Facebook,

(33:50):
and so we just have to vote with our wallet
and vote with our online behavior. I guess did y'all see.
I don't know if you've covered this already, but about
how Apple was essentially people could hear face time before
accept today we did cover that. I realized now a
lot of angry texts. I got, oh ship right now?

(34:15):
How's it going? How are you? I know my mom's
learning how to do that? Bug? Like other concerned mothers
are like, here's a way to hear how your child
might be responding when they see your number. Yeah, well,
let's talk about some other people that we should be
voting with our wallet against. Vote against these Perdue Farming.

(34:37):
They kind of have a cheap code as to how
they get people to vote for them with their purchasing
decisions by getting them hopelessly addicted to their product. But
so Perdue Farmer and the Sackler family who is the
family behind it? Uh turns out they are of Oxycon. Yes,
they're the makers of Oxycon, and we've talked before about

(34:58):
how they basically revolutionized the pharmaceutical advertising industry. That's sort
of the Sackler families innovation was to product and like
make pharmaceutical advertising look like it was scientific and put
it in medical journals and uh, you know, get doctors

(35:21):
on their side. Uh. It's just like very shady tactics
to get people to prescribe their medication more rather than
you know, making medication that solves people's problems. Uh, you know,
using all the tricks of capitalism to get people to
prescribe their drugs, and so we're learning more things about them.

(35:41):
There was a two seventy four page civil complaints filed
against Perdue uh in Massachusetts, where the opioid problem has
I mean, like most of America has been terrible, and
it had been mostly redacted this comp late, but it
was recently unredacted by a judge for like a brief

(36:05):
period of time, and so Pro Publica was able to
get a look at it. And the things that you
see in there is not a good look for the
Sackler family. I mean, everything prior to this was not
a good general from like that video or like they're
all these were like I took oxycon and now my
pain is gone and I'm not addicted. And then like
a lot of people who appeared in that promotional video
like ended up overdosing or becoming addicted. Okay, so then

(36:28):
what what what say? Is this unredacted thing now? So
this is just the actual like evidence they have emails
and communications between its internal correspondence from Perdue pharm executives,
members of the Sackler family, people on the board talking
about not only you know, acknowledging the risk of opioid

(36:53):
addiction and overdose, but then suggesting to just kind of
put the pedal to them at all and keep getting
like trying to get doctors to prescribe it at higher
and higher doses. But then they also then we're like,
and you know what else is a growth industry in
this in the pharmaceutical world is addiction medicine. We should

(37:15):
invest in addiction medicine because the opioid crisis that we've caused,
you didn't say that we've caused is creating a bunch
of addicts who then need to be treated. So we
just take this whole world of problems that we're creating
and just profit off of every single leaking part of it.

(37:37):
And yeah, that that's the sort that's how their mind
was working uh or how this company's board was thinking
about the opioid crisis in the country. It's really weird
because I've seen both sides of this because I have
an autoimmune disorder, so I feel like I'm in and
out of doctor's offices constantly. One thing that I do
take UM low dose now truck Zone is no no.

(37:57):
Truck Zone is a drug that they originally gave to
addicts that were coming off of their um and because
it helps with side effects. They later found out that
it helps with like inflammation, and that's why my doctor
recommended it to me. But I did have a girlfriend
who had surgery recently, and because of this the abuse
essentially of pain medicine, she wasn't able to get it.
They like just gave her aspirin because and and that

(38:21):
to me is like what's frustrating about some of this
is like people that actually do need it aren't able
to get it. They're definitely airing on the side of
prescribing as opposed to over prescribing, which sucks for people
that have surgery. Yeah, I mean the thing, so these
opioids and powerful pain relievers were originally created four people,

(38:44):
specifically post surgery recovering in the hospital and then Perdue
basically found a single doctor's letter to the editor in
the New England Journal of Medicine and took it out
of context and made it seem like the doctor was
saying that it's impossible to get addicted to these things
when he was only talking about how well they work

(39:05):
when you're like specifically being given in the hospital post surgery.
And that was like what opened the Pandora's box was
them just miss you know, among other things. But that
was one of the tactics they used that became like
the pharmaceutical industries like go to like look, this doctor
said it was like effective and nobody got addicted, but

(39:27):
he was talking specifically about, you know, it being given
to people post surgery. But yeah, now we're seeing a
world where some people post surgery probably aren't getting it
and they need it. It's very hard to get um
and for some of my friends that actually need it,
it's there was all these articles about a shortage of

(39:48):
it and that is really frightening, I think for people
that have been taking it every day to suddenly have
to deal with that. Yeah. So yeah, we sucked up.
We sucked up a lot of these uh these drugs, well,
these corporations, they want to be treated like people, so
they can you know, put money in races. Why don't
you fucking arrest them? Right? You know, because if you're
out here poisoning people with your drug dealing, meanwhile people

(40:11):
are fucking going doing crazy time for a little bits
of weed or crack or whatever, you know what I mean.
And then you have like what kind of liability or
even open to just like financial liability basically Jesus. I
mean maybe not I I actually don't know. I mean
on some level, yeah, I mean, like there's gonna have
to be I mean, there was that doctor who was
charged in California I think, I think last year for

(40:32):
over prescribing with like murder charges I think, or manslaughter.
So at some point, if they're the street level, distribute
to the doctors when you're gonna look at the supplier
and then say like where are those real? Like you know,
there was a sixty minutes story where they interviewed a
guy who was part of some government, uh you know

(40:54):
agency that was specifically trying to do that, specifically targeting
the suppliers, and just got insane pushed back until he
was moved off of the pen he like led this
agency and was moved off of the agency, like basically
fired because he was trying to do that. So America
has just set up to let these sorts of people

(41:14):
go free. But they absolutely are the ones who should
be put in jail, and not necessarily I mean maybe
also the doctors, but I mean you're just getting the
street level dealers and not the supplier. At that point,
I wanted to say that movie that came out in
ten with Jake Joe and Hall Love and Other Drugs,
that was about viagra, but the look at how doctors

(41:36):
are swayed into uh prescribing certain medications is a accurate.
I actually used to work in cardiac rihab before I
went in comedy, UH and used to work at hospitals
and it would be insane. It would be like a
doctor and he has like the calendar of that drug
and the pen pad and like all the like everything
in his office would be for that, you know what
I mean, yeah, branded essentially and they would be suggested.

(41:58):
And I even at I think I was like eighteen
or nineteen new enough to be like NA, like like
what is this You're giving me a hat of it.
I don't need that, you know, but it is. So
go back and watch that movie because it shows that
how they sway doctors into pitching and selling their products.
Here's your dilotted iPad cover. For people who aren't familiar

(42:20):
with Danny's backstory, you can see it dramatized in the
movie Patch Adams about how she went from being a
cardiac free had specialists to comedy. Uh, let's talk about
DNA testing, you guys. It's scary people give given your
genetic sequence up. Well, so I don't know how scary,
I mean the way it's being used up to this point.

(42:42):
So what's happening is that these DNA testing companies that
we're giving our DNA over to are now, you know,
working with the FBI. There was a recent story about
how Family Tree DNA is handing the FBI access to
its entire database. Uh, and they're basically like, all we're
doing is giving them the same access that you would

(43:04):
have to our database, but they can also subpoena and
get like even more access to everything. Basically, and I
mean up to this point, this is how they've caught
the Golden State killer. This is how they caught the
b T K killer, which I hadn't realized, but they apparently, uh,
the FBI subpoena and his daughter's pap schmir uh and

(43:28):
and because they had the computer matched to like his
church and they thought it was him, but to confirm it,
that's how they did it, was they took DNA from
his daughter. And that's the thing that is pretty crazy
and sort of another Pandora's Box type situation is that
I've heard people talking about this recently. I think Chuck

(43:50):
Closeterman and Bill Simmons were talking about it on a
recent podcast and they were saying, yeah, well, I mean,
don't submit your d n A and like you'll you'll
be fine. But it's actually they can test your relatives
and if if your cousin's kid does the DNA testing,
they know the suspects in your family and they'll be
able to use process of elimination. That's how they caught

(44:12):
the Golden State killer. So, I mean, this is not
to suggest that all members of the zekegang are serial
killers and you need to be watching out for this,
but it is worth keeping in mind that the FBI
wasn't always like the good guy battling American Hitler. They
used to be like just fifty five years ago, they

(44:34):
were encouraging Martin Luther King Jr. To commit suicide by
sending him blackmailed evidence that he was cheating on his wife.
So these agencies can go in dark direction. I mean
it depends on how our apocalyptic. Yeah, like if you're
thinking of concentration camps and if that might ever be
a thing again, and you have a certain level of
DNA and you One thing I will say about genetics,

(44:57):
like we learn more and more day by day, even
more so like what seems is like, ha, it's cool
to know, like that I'm it. Arrant Lee told me
I'm from this part of the world, because already that
the whole like oh you're from this part of the
world is already a little bit flawed because it's just
using existing data sets rather than like this is where
you are from. You know, like that's where I think

(45:17):
a lot of people see down the road. You know
what other informations are that we're not really aware of
that's contained and how that can be used either to
our benefit or to our detriment. But you know, I
will just believe my parents when they say they're my parents.
That's how I'll leave it. You know what, I had
a science teacher because they taught us about the you know,

(45:38):
chromosomes and whatever, like what is it the alleles? That
was it? And uh, somebody found out they were adopted from.
Like it was a thing, like it wasn't possible that
their mom and dad like with their eye color or whatever,
that happens. If you're a science teacher out there and
that has happened to you, please let me know because
people have said by teaching them, like, oh no, that
wouldn't happen, because that's at like you know, like the

(45:59):
play that game right, And it was like, okay, your
mom and your dad and I'll put the things down.
And like somebody found out they were adopted from. That
science is a tricky thing. Yeah, well, you know there
was a story too, I think around Christmas. It was
like it was like a story. I think it was
someone roun an article about how like they bought an
ancestry kid and the mom freaked out and didn't want

(46:22):
the kids to take it because they were then like
then it opened up this whole other thing about like
their dad might not have been their dad so you know, yeah, Miles,
there was another name on my insurance card. I'm like,
who is this? Wait, who is this other person? Here's
my two brothers, my mom, and my dad. Who was
this other name? Turn Out my dad had another kid.
Did not know that till I was twenty two years old.

(46:42):
So I asked when I was like sixteen, and my
mom was like, like she pulled it out of my hand. Yeah,
when you're a kid, you're like, that's not a normal response.
It was our cousin. I don't know, that's some some dude,
your dad helping out. Yeah, we're helping them out or something. No,
she like snatched and told me not to ask questions.
And so kids know, ye, all right, we're gonna take

(47:06):
a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back.
And guys, the big game was yesterday. I can't even
get into it. My feelings are so complex. But another

(47:29):
big event is coming up that we still have to
look forward to, and that is the Hollywood Super Bowl,
the Academy Awards, the hostless Oscars. Yes, and in the
run up to this year's Academy Awards, we're going to
be doing a series where we look at some other
inspiring performances from some of the nominees. Yeah, and we're

(47:52):
going to start out, start off with Mr Jackson Maine himself.
Bradley Cooper. Yeah, you know, the Internet is a great
thing in a great place. Because someone remembered and extracted
a clip from when Bradley Cooper was just just making
his way as an actor and did an appearance on
the f X show Niptuck And in which he plays

(48:13):
a character with a let's just play this interaction. This
is uh. In the scene, he's wearing a halo actually
like an immobilizer because he's had some kind of neck injury.
And now he's talking with the two surgeons about some
possible work. You know, when I'm under you guys, wouldn't
mind adding a couple of inches in my pants? Do

(48:33):
you want a penis enlargement? Wow? Unless you can lengthen
my tongue. You're broking try like your dick. You broke
your Where did you come up with that? What do
you say? It's just kiddy. I can't keep this trado.

(48:57):
I can't keep what. I can't keep this CHARADEO. So, yeah,
he played a dude who broke his own neck kind
of suck his own right, So you know, I think that,
to be fair, that was an Oscar caliber performance. That
was man. I mean, like he just had to play
a rock star for a stars there. He had to

(49:18):
play a man who wanted to suck his own dick
so bad he broke his own neck. His own neck,
not have strong neck muscles to actually break your own
like just from the will to try and lick your peep.
It's funny he took this world too. It was only
two years after he did Wedding Crashers, which was like
a huge you know after, and it was two years

(49:38):
before he did The Hangover. But like he's such a
different person in the Hangover from like then he was
Bradley Cooper, right, not the guy who broke trying to
lick his own dickhead his performance and Wedding Crashers under Yeah,
sometimes I think that's the real him. Like I thought
that's who he was forever. It's frightening to think if

(49:59):
that is anyway. Yeah, so, oh, guys, that gang out there.
If you know of other really petty performances we need
to drum up for the Oscars bill that please, uh
tweet at us. I can't keep the charade up. I
can't get the charade up, so I start read an
article about Marilyn Manson in the nineties. We had a
river remove to do it. Yeah, turned out it wasn't real. Hey,

(50:21):
we've all been there, am I right? Yeah? I like
how the doctor is like, you broke your neck trying
to suck your own didn't you? Didn't you? Like that
is the thing he's seen, Like third guy I've seen today,
who's this tissue? Like when he leaves the the consultation office,
he goes out in the waiting room a bunch of
guys wearing the same neck immobile and he's like, forget it, man,

(50:44):
they can't do anything for us. Shit. That is like
the real world version of that is just people sticking
stuff in their oh people, maybe their pee hole. But
there's a lot of emergencies room visits, like if you
talk to a doctor in emergency medicine, they have removed

(51:07):
all sorts of objects from people's butts. My sister in
laws a nurse, and she said someone came in with
a full onion full yeah, and it's just like given
given new meaning to the phrase onion booty, and you
just want to cross them when they're like I was
cooking and I slipped from my kitchen counter. How do

(51:28):
I put this brown eye down onto this? Let's talk
about jay Z and Beyonce's diet. Yo, they're doing it.
They're out here trying to really change the world. So
they have Beyonce just you know, put an Instagram post
stuff last week that was basically saying, like, you know,
I'm doing this the green Print initiative to have people

(51:50):
like really try and embrace a vegan diet. Just start
off small, do like maybe a plant based breakfast, do
meatless mondays, and hopefully you know that will lead to
greater change because if you start incrementally, you could go
into full blown vegan diet. It's a great cause because
also their website like actually kind of shows you, like
what you eating even one plant based meal can do

(52:11):
for like lessening the resource strains we have or clearing
the air up and things like that. But the real
hook here is that she's like, sign up to the website,
you know, tell us about your plan to go vegan,
and you could win Beyonce or jay Z tickets for life.
And I think that is if you're going to motivate
people to give up meat. I think Beyonce has figured

(52:33):
something out right, like you can come to the shows
for life, and then there's like an asterisk thirty years. Right.
There are mixed messages because they're assuming that you're only
going to live for thirty years, which so I mean
they're they're baking in the fact that we only have
twelve years left because of global warming into the equation.
And they would know because they're in the Illuminati, or

(52:53):
maybe they just know that they're only gonna be touring
for thirty years. Yeah, I mean, yeah, well you should
hear how my grandparents friends talk like old Black Church
going to people they really like initially were on some
like that. I think they worshiped the Devil music video things,
which though like, didn't someone come out that one of
her drummers or something like was saying that's right, oh right,

(53:17):
her cat died or some ship. Yeah, not saying those
two want to specify are not the same thing. Everyone
thinks that, which is our Satanist but some of them
are well yeah, I mean, look, she's powerful, she's sorceress. However,
you gotta get down be But I guess I didn't
realize that they had all fully gone vegan. So good

(53:38):
on you. So Beyonce has gone vegan, and last year,
according to sources that no or at least a blog
I found that acted like they knew, uh, jay Z
was having a little difficulty transitioning, and they said that,
you know, he would order something that had some animal

(54:00):
by product in it and Beyonce would just you know,
change that order. She'd be like, actually, he'll be having
a salad. I like, because she can. She'll be like, um,
he will not be having that. And also, I mean, Sean,
you know better. I've been saying this for the past year.
He looks good, Like he just looks healthy to me. Yeah,

(54:21):
and I mean whatever changes she's made in his diet, yeah,
I mean, look all vegan like once a week. And
when I look at this thing, it's kind of interesting.
The website is kind of gives you a new perspective
because when it's just sort of saying like, you know,
if you eat to plant based meals a week, it's
the equivalent of having the environmental impact of like four

(54:42):
trees absorbing absorbing harmful gases in a month. I'm like,
what frustrates me? And I live online, so I can
see everyone angry on Twitter. Is that they're trying in
their heads, they're trying to do something that is actually helpful.
That is, like, our meat industry is insane and contributing
to so much polluted shin and so in there. But
people are like not everyone can afford that, okay, And

(55:04):
I'm like, okay, but they're using their platform to try
and help in some way. They could just shut up
and not say anything, but instead they're putting there you know,
they're putting their money where their mouth is and saying
you can come to all of our concerts for free,
you know if you try this. So it just I
think we just want to complain no matter what. Yeah,
and and like and who was it somebody? And the

(55:25):
Zeke gang also put me onto like there are even
movements to try and sustainably raise cattle two of like
using the planes responsibly and trying like being aware of
the carbon footprint of the cattle industry. But yeah, I
get like, at the end of the day, they're trying
to do something beneficial to the environment for people. So like,
if you've got to dangle the free tickets for life
and do what you gotta do. I mean, there are

(55:46):
certain things I couldn't as much as I do enjoy
vegan food. Some ship I just have to like certain
fish things I have to eat, you know what I mean?
What are the chicken wings? Sushi? Thank you because I'm Japanese. Yeah, yeah,
that's all I was. Yeah. I ate raw potatoes, That's

(56:08):
my thing, with a little bit of pepper if I'm
feeling real spicy. Let's go out with Fiji Water, the
Fiji water girl who stole all of our hearts at
the Golden Globes or maybe made a slate ripple on
your inbox or you know timeline timeline. Uh So, she
was in the background of a bunch of celebrity pictures

(56:29):
holding a Fiji water tray, and I assumed that this
was just accidental and she was just you know, making
eye contact with the camera to get her name out
there photo. But it turns out Fiji had actually basically
choreographed this. So their plan was we give out water
on the red carpet, celebrities take the water, and then

(56:51):
our brand is in the celebrity pictures. However, it was
cold on the day of the Golden Globes, so nobody
was taken all the yeah yeah, yeah either. Oh weird,
Um you must have missed me. You were the server
who spilled wine on me. Yeah, you weren't very nice.

(57:12):
I lost my gig at the Beverly Hilton thanks to you.
I just want to say before like this is dumb though.
People actually are not really holding water bottled give it
to your assistant. She was aggressive, But like what they're
saying is like normally, I mean, it was cold today,
but normally they'd be holding it in the phone like not.
I mean they might be as they're transitioning to another
but they're not the champagne. They're handy off that. Yeah yeah,

(57:37):
But anyways, this was hal Fiji or a fig representative
justified telling this young woman to stand in the background
of celebrity pictures and just serve the hottest looks looks
and the coldest water. Yes, hot looks cold water. So
recently in the past week, I noticed that there's a

(58:02):
cut out of this young woman in my local grocery store,
my local Ralph's Yeah carboy cut out. It was just
like a Fiji water display with her just being like
like just from that the Golden globe. Yeah, yeah, John
Legend shop at the same place. Yeah, me and John
were picking up a few groceries. John Legend legend, he

(58:26):
goes to Bristol Farms. Farms. Yeah, and actually, now that
I think about it was Pavilion, Yes, But anyways, so
I assumed, oh, they signed her up. This was all
part of a place. This was all ahead of time
by the wonderful Fiji Water Company, which, by the way,
is water from Fiji and that's it, and that's it.

(58:48):
They don't there's nothing special about water from Fiji. They
just take water from Fiji and ship it across the world,
and you know, cause all sorts of pollution doing that,
and people drink it. So it is thought of as
one of the least ecologically responsible companies out there because
shipping just fucking wash water just that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(59:11):
so uh it's cool. Basically, the only thing that is
special about water from Fiji is that it's from far away,
and so it's it's just a flex, a pointless, purposeless flex.
But anyways, so that company, whose entire business model is
look cool by flexing on people about how far your

(59:33):
water and shipped from, just did this whole thing had
the cardboard cutouts up in stores before they had even
gotten this young woman's permission, and she is now suing them.
There you go, so they'll let them make you a
full They already made you a meme right out here
with your tray of water. She's technically right because you know,

(59:54):
as an actor or whatever like you, if you you're
supposed to get paid for follow up. So I guess
what she was saying essentially is that they pressured her
into signing something that well, this is what she She
also alleges in the documents that Fiji offered her gifts
to entice her permission and pressured Steinbuck into video recording
a fake signing of a fake document to simulate Steinbuck

(01:00:18):
signing on as a Fiji water ambassador. So she's saying, like,
I didn't say that you could make all this money
by making cardboard cutouts of me. Like, if you're going
to make cardboard cut out to me, I should also
be getting paid for the check. And that's another agreement
unless they were like wild flagrant. I mean, like there
are also dirty business practices where they'll act like, oh yeah,
this is just for this one thing, and then you
ended up signing everything in perpetuity for the rest of

(01:00:40):
time across the universe. Uh. What's funny though, is I
remember at one point they had to add I think
that like the city of Cleveland got really mad because
like it's called Fiji water because it's not bottled in Cleveland.
And then like the city of Cleveland was like, fuck
you water, and then like had their people and that
was their ad they had. It was like it's called
e g water because it's not bottled in Cleveland, to

(01:01:02):
that effect. And then so the city of Cleveland had
some scientists do an analysis and like, oh, well look
you got a little more micrograms of arsenic in your
water than our Cleveland tap water. So with Cleveland, and
then they came back like a couple of years later
like well we just did a study now and it's
actually a lot lower. So like they got actually pulled
into this thing, right, leave Cleveland alone, Right, So they

(01:01:23):
just got petty rich guys in a boardroom somewhere just
being like throw throw them up, We'll get her to
sign change it so there's not arsenic in our water. Yes,
her name is Kelly stein Back. She goes by Kelleth
Cuthbert for some reason, but it's it's Kellis Cuspert, Kellis Cusper,
and I'm just your list lisping very badly. That's so

(01:01:46):
weird that she has a stage name and Kelleth is
a very interesting name. It almost sounds like she was
going to say her name and in the moment decided
to do a fake name because it's Kelly. Kelly. Uh
Cuthbert Huh, Like when they ask Job when he marries
Amy Poehler, like quick, what's her name? Crndy? Her name

(01:02:10):
is not cry I love that Kelly. I wasn't like,
wasn't elegant enough, Like your name is Kelly. No, it's
actually Kelleth Kelly. Kelly is a fairly basic name, but
not Kelly. You heard Kelly. That sounds like what kel
from Keenan and Kell would like name his daughter if
you had, like a George Gorman kind of ego, my

(01:02:30):
daughter Kelly. Yes, I'm just joking. I love all Kelly's
last and first named Kelly's. Yeah, shout out my raw
potato eaters out there, Kelly Green. Danny, it's been a
pleasure as always having you. Where can people find you?
Follow you? Oh? I'm at mus Danny Fernandez on all

(01:02:51):
the socials and pick up. I wrote in a book
that comes out this month. It's called The Good Immigrant.
It's a collection of essays from actors and writers of color.
Is very on or to get to it's a Good
Immigrant USA. Because they had another edition that came out
in the UK with UK based writers and actors. Rizomme
that actually wrote in it, um and so our craps out. Yeah.

(01:03:12):
His I think was called airports and airports and audition
rooms because that was m hm thing that he's had
to deal with. And uh sony, So I wrote in that. Yeah,
So I wrote in The Good Immigrant twenty six writers
reflect on America and that drops February nineteen, and then
you know, check out Round Breaks. Internet on digital in

(01:03:34):
movies comes out February twelve and on Blu Ray February.
For you Blue Ray people, Danny, you play a young
woman by the name of Danny Fernandez and the Internet.
I do. Yeah, I have to play myself. That is
that's a that's a that's a flex. I have nothing
else to me. I played myself Disney movie and what

(01:03:55):
they made hundreds of millions of dollars. And which character
do you play on your podcast? Or diffice, what's that character?
That's that character called? Oh, that's a different that I'm in.
It's nominated for an Academy Award. So I get I'm
playing myself in a film that was nominated for an
Academy Award. That is a flex. I'm going to say
it because I will never probably be able to say
that again. Get it tatted? I mean do an Oscar

(01:04:16):
tear drop tattoo? I mean that would be wild if
you could say that. I mean, I don't know about myself.
I'm not saying that I won't ever be in a film.
Yeahah no, No, That's what I'm saying. Like, if I
get in, if that becomes a trend now, like to
like all Oscar bait movies are like and we just
introduce you as yourself, even though this takes place in
