Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season forty one, Episode
one of Dirt Daily Zeite. Guys. Uh whatever, alright, any ship,
it's a special episode. What's going on? This is the
Morning Zoo edition of the Daily Zeite. Guys. My name
is Jack O'Brien and I am we We didn't prepare
(00:21):
a case because I did a labor what labor what labor? Gray, Yeah, labor,
and I'm still wearing white. I'll wear white tomorrow. We're
off white the next day. Yeah, he doesn't care, you guys.
He'll do it too. Although you know, I really funk
with the labor movement, so you know what, maybe I
don't know whatever, Yeah, what am I gonna do? You know?
(00:42):
I feel like that doesn't get recognized, that one that
I funk with the labor movement. People need to recognize
that more about you. Yeah, you know honestly, like I
used to kick a lot with people that I be
w but the leftist politics of this holiday feel like people,
oh yeah, we don't talk about the social It is
very true, actually like unions that much on Labor Day.
And you got a union busting lover and possibly Brett
(01:04):
Cabinaugh coming true this week. But anyway, let's get to
brass tacks. Let's get down to it. I mean, y'all,
I mean y'all. We're not saying y'all, Hey, y'all, y'all.
So you guys don't know, there is a subreddit that's
called the Daily Zeitgeist. Are the Daily Zeitgeist, and we
hit up the homie user bombing of Dressden and said, hey,
(01:25):
don't you mind asking the reddit zeke gang some questions
they want to answer, because I think if you've listened
to the show enough, you know, then when it's a
tree Day weekend, there's probably gonna be ask us anything
type of thing, or we do overrunners and things like that.
So today is no different. And these questions are coming
from the zeit Gang on the subreddit, and yes, thank
(01:45):
you everyone for your questions, and I think let's just
get right. I would say take some of you for
your questions. Some of your questions were offensive to me,
well you know, I know they were. They were great
asking if you were hurt truly. Yeah, people think I'm
very upset, like what's with all the energy? Yeah, somebody
(02:06):
just commented on on Twitter on my picture because my
eyes are always like almost closed because it's bright out.
Someone was like, what's wrong, bro, get some sleep. Well,
you guys are hard on me, and that's what this
episode is going to be about. Be nicer to me.
Uh no, So I thought there were some really good questions,
very good questions. Can I start us off? Yes, sir, both.
(02:29):
Are there any conspiracy theories you believe or think have
some credibility of time? Come on, Jack, bring it? No man,
you tell me years I always talked about my conspiration. Well, look, man,
I just saw loose change and I got a couple
of questions. I'm gonna be real. Let's see. Okay, now
(02:49):
wow music, Wow, blew my hand off. Any conspiracy song
gets a little peppie there after a while, well usually
cut it off because it's not real conspiracy. It's just like,
undermine what you're saying by being jokey. Oh thanks, Miles. Yeah,
I mean that's what that's how I think it's operating.
I don't know. That's why other people are like, wasn't
just the X Files music? Which is another question on here.
(03:11):
That's two on the nose, you know, and it is
not undermining the seriousness of what I'm saying. What is
a thing I mean Jesus, what we've talked about that
my pet conspiracy theories, the JFK JFK one. The government
also probably killed Martin Luther King Jr. The whole thing
with the people down in Cuba, the diplomats down in Cuba.
(03:35):
Oh wait, but you don't think that's a mass panic yea,
not an yeah, not a sonic reagun. So it's the
opposite of a conspiracy. What's what My question is, what
did happen with Building seven at the World Trade Center?
I don't know why did that won't fall down? I
don't know, man, what's the official word. I'm not here
to be like, well, that's the control room. I just
think that there's a lot of a lot of weird
(03:57):
ship happens when you knock two giant tower is down,
and like you know that are gonna look weird hap him?
All right? All right? Ken Star? Yeah, And I'll just
wish you'd stop asking this question. Also, now you know
conspiracy that this is not really a good one for
me because I the only ones I believe and are
the ones my grandparents are really into. And that's like
(04:18):
the like the jay Z and Beyonce and the Illuminati.
That's when my grand I had to talk my grandparents.
These elderly African American people, they get in these groups
with older church going people to like, you know, Beyonce
and jay Z there in the Illuminati and they worship
the devil. And I do those two go together? I don't,
I guess. I mean it depends on what circles you
(04:38):
run in. Oh, I have one. Oh, this one is
from zo Zooga door six six six. I'm in my
forties and listen to your show daily. I love the show,
but often find myself scratching my head with how phrases
change over time. When did these following changes occur? Quote,
I haven't seen you in about a minute? A minute
is now how long? I don't know. In a minute.
(05:02):
I would say that changed about twenty years ago. You
could say, man, it's been a minute. So why are
they scratching their head? Do they have like an itchy
head or something? Hey, I don't know, I'm not here
to you know, speculate on this person's scalpular health. Not
familiar with that phrase? What about this one? Jack? I
funk with that? Start playing bingo, y'all, I funk with that.
(05:24):
When did funk with go from being bothered by something
slash somebody to me and being into something. This is
just African Americans speak, slowly shifting into uh, just general. Well,
I for one do not like it, okay or not
a fan? That's us helping an old listener out any
other questions they have. That's at you, at Jack. This
(05:46):
is from our our narc at Jack. I'm a big
fan of your time hosting the Cracked podcast. With Monday's
episodes becoming Big Ideas Show, are you looking to emulate
some of that Cracked podcast format? If so, when can
you get Jason Pargeon to phone in and rob some
knowledge ideas show? Yeah, we'll try and do that. We
need to do that. I need to where does Jason
Pargeon live? He lives in He doesn't live in l
(06:08):
A right, No, he lives in Tennessee. Oh, so he'll
definitely have to phone in. Yeah, and he he lives
in an undisclosed location. Cool. Yeah, he's usually flying above
the earth. I actually have not talked to Jason a
long time, and I need to do that. So I
missed him. You guys are hearing this live on Cut
just brought two people together, so I'm I have it
(06:31):
on my to do list that Okay, uh, Miles, what's
something that's uh, We're not going to answer all of
these because Wavy Jones got a little greedy. But I'm
gonna let's let's answer that a lot of questions. Let's
answer one of these. What's something that's overrated, underrated, A
myth or a reason Google search that says something about you,
(06:52):
Oh shit, recent overrated, underrated? I can do my myth, yeah,
because it keeps coming up over the past couple of weeks.
Something that keeps coming up is that Nate Silver said
Hillary was a shoeing to win. I think there are
a couple of things that worked there. I think most
people and outlets were embarrassingly wrong in their prognostication before
(07:13):
the election. And I think like the New York Times
and the Washington Post were saying, and uh, Nate Silver
is just our most famous prognosticator, so everybody remembers him
as being the guy who was like saying it was.
And also I think we're just bad at probability because
he basically said it was one in four chance that
(07:35):
Trump would win. Towards the end, uh, he noticed that
the polls after the comy thing, swung things in Trump's direction,
and you know, was talking about it being a very
real possibility up until the end. But because Nate Silver
is the face of election predictions and because almost everybody
(07:56):
got it incredibly wrong and he got it sort of wrong,
I think people just associate him with being wrong. And
you know, he's still pretty smart and his website is
very smart, and I think they do a good job
of working with data. That is my myth. Yes, what
(08:17):
is my something that I consider over or under I
would like to say that hint water is underrated. You're
just looking at things on the table. But I believe this,
uh salad. I also believe headphone is over it and
(08:38):
lisol scrubbing bathroom wipes are in the UK. No one
thing that I think is actually I think the myth
is that, you know, like I think the game of politics,
I think is starting to look more and more like
a myth, right, that their sides advocating for two different
(08:59):
things when just like we were talking about last week
about how you know, these gatherings of the wealthy and powerful,
they're talking about like things that appear to be fundamental
changes to our society that still keep the system in place,
or like you know that Democrats that are playing fair
or unfair. It's that there's not even a game. It's
(09:20):
this ship is just straight up manipulation of our democracy.
And some people would do it blatantly. Other people try
and do it in with a you know, some kind
of appearance that it's being done for a good reason.
I basically what I'm calling for is for us to
just see through that and understand. I think all of
this leads to the idea that we are all trying
(09:42):
to point fingers at different sides when we shouldn't be
pointing left or right. We should be pointing up, Uh,
look at the Yeah, right, God, where's your God? Now? No,
but yeah, I think that's yeah, that's not I mean,
there as you look at I will we always say
this all the time. I'm talking about late stage capitalism
on the show. I mean the GOP has masterfully and
(10:03):
the Democrats to a certain extent, has got done a
good job of keeping the attention away from us actually
looking at the people who are making the most money
right now and keeping that wealth away from everyone else. Yeah,
for sure, it's a little conflicting because like a lot
of the Trump hate that comes from the mainstream media
and mainstream political elite, I feel like is because he's
(10:26):
not like one of those core people, you know, And
so sometimes I'm like, yeah, you hate him, but maybe
for the wrong reasons. Right. Well, And I think a
lot of people they see the way politics are played
as this structured game, like you do this and you
get this and blah blah blah, and Donald Trump just
kind of saw power and just like, Okay, I'm just
gonna break through all these normal things and just try
(10:49):
and work that in whatever way possible. Right All his
outsidership turned out to be just rhetoric, but and he
was onto something with all that drain the swamp stuff,
he just turned out tread to drain it by drinking it. Hey,
at Miles, if we smoked together, what kind of snacks
would you bring? First of all, I'm not bringing the snacks.
(11:12):
You better have the snacks. You don't know me, You
don't fucking Fenton one seven a j Fenton. You know
what snacks am I bringing? Oh? You know what, I
would bring a lot of Japanese chips and Japanese snack food,
because my fucking lord, the chips that we have in Japan,
like Carl is like it's just a chip called Carl,
(11:35):
and it looks like look weird farmer with a beard
on it. It's like Cheetos puffs, but like from another
dimension with better flavors. I would bring another Japanese snack
called which is like a cracker that tastes very delicious.
And I would bring a lot of Japanese drinks too,
mostly this one peach drink that I like called Momental Tendency,
(11:55):
which is a basically it's a clear liquid that just
tastes like straight up eaches and sugar. And so yes,
that's what I would be doing. That's what I would
bring to the Zigang smoke out all right, brought to
you by that. This is one is from Fooshi is Nick?
Your ads are hilarious. How much is scripted verse improv? Yeah?
We're given a script and then so I usually stick
(12:20):
to that and then Miles is funny and I just react.
And a lot of times when Jack goes hey Miles,
I am actually caught off guard, yeah, and don't realize
what's going on. And that's usually he just comes up
with something. As I say, hey, Miles, we haven't really
sometimes when sometimes we've planned stuff, I think when sometimes look,
(12:40):
we're not gonna lie and don't let the advertise here
this everything is written out. Everything is written prescripted, including
everything we're saying right now, right now. Yes, sometimes we
have copy that we have to read and we just go,
you know what, how do we make this? I think
we just have to do, like how do we laugh
by the end of it while we read it? And
that's our north star? Yes, yeah, and super producer Nick
(13:01):
Stump is always in the booth giving us direction and
sometimes we think what we said is funny and he's like, maybe, yeah,
all right that, let's keep that as an option. As
the director said to Donald Trump, right, let's keep that
as an option. We'll keep that as an option. Hey, Miles,
speaking of ads, Yeah, should we take a break? Oh yeah,
(13:25):
I guess we're good at all? That is that high
pitched enough? Yeah, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back after that and we're back. How do
you like that ad? Man? I hope that was one
(13:47):
of ours. It's amazing that we got away with that
product placement of putting an ad right in the episode.
Talking about ads, they paid us so much extra for that. Miles.
What was it like to be Blazian growing up or
when you visited Japan? Oh wow? Growing up Blazian in Japan, Well,
you know, I grew up either being with one of
(14:09):
my parents and someone thinking I wasn't their child a lot,
especially with my mom. Yeah, because my mom is Japanese
and she walks around this little curly haired brown boy.
And Uh, as a teenager, people would like when you
go on an airplane, they would say, like check in
for a flight to go to Japan or something. They say,
would you like to sit next to your friend? And
she's like, this is my son. Um. And in Japan,
(14:30):
I remember, you know, I would be self conscious because
like when I was a kid, a lot of people
would stare at me, and Uh, I thought, oh man,
like what you know, like am I a weirdo or whatever.
Mom always be like they're just looking at you because
they've never seen a boy so handsome, and I was
like thank you. And then now I've become this egomaniac
that stopped. It's really a problem, Um, growing up in Japan,
(14:51):
like doing, being Blazian in Japan is kind of cool
because on one hand, it's an island culture, so I
never quite fit in. I think being biracial, inevitably that happen.
You're never quite Japanese enough to be Japanese, never quite
black enough to be black, You're never quite American enough
to be whatever. But in Japan, I really enjoyed it,
just because there will be times people would talk shit
(15:12):
and I would just clap back in Japanese and they
would be so because they assumed you didn't. Yeah, they'd
be mortified. They would refer to they would say, like,
you know, I remember when I was fourteen one time
I went to this video game store and this dude
followed me around the store the whole time because he
thought I was shoplifting. And I turned around and just
in Japanese, I was like, can I help you? And
he was so shocked. He's like, no, no, I'm so sorry.
(15:34):
Uh no uh. And but I think culturally I feel
very much American, like African American and Japanese. And yeah,
it's it's a unique experience because you kind of you
you feel many things at once. But growing up in Japan,
or being there when I wasn't in school, was always fun.
Um My whole family is over there still, so it
(15:55):
wasn't too bad. I mean, but yeah, you'll always be mothered,
uh in a country like that because it's most very homogeneous.
But I was able to navigate that all right. Definitely
worth visiting, though. If you're thinking about going to Japan,
please go out there. I have a question. This this,
this this can be for both of us. This is
from bombing of Dresden. What is your favorite Southern cuisine? Oh,
(16:19):
favorite Southern cuisine? Now, what is officially southern? Like, it's
fried chicken Southern cuisine. I think I think that that's
very American. I think that originated in the South mostly,
so I think you can you can put that in there.
I definitely would probably it's not call it's not a
California or New York disition, right right, I'd probably go
(16:41):
fried chicken with baked beans. I love mixing chicken and
baked beans. Oh wow, Yeah, baked beans are good. I like,
uh anything with okra m and I love a good
biscuit collar greens. You have to make your collar greens
with like with ham, like you gotta have the hamhocking there.
Uh and otherwise, I mean I'm a wing person. I
(17:04):
don't know if you. I've talked about wings a lot
on the show or even on my Instagram, but I
only eat all flat lemon pepper wings from Wingstop. That's
my like quick converted you know, bite yo, I'm telling you,
and I know that's in Atlanta thing. I'm I'm I'm
riding with that too, because it's just it's the only
way to go. And if you and if you eat wings,
(17:26):
try going all flats, because I'm telling you, the meat
on the on the flat is more succulent, delicious, juicy,
And once you figure out the hack to eating it
where you take the little cartilage off the ends and
you slide out that little bone, everything else just comes
right off. And it's not like when you see when
I see people eat in between the two bones, like you,
what are you doing? Respect the bone? Yeah? I didn't
(17:48):
ever like clean the bone growing. And then I'm married
my wife and she completely clean, like it looks like
you just dug it up out of the ground. White
people don't rake the as My grandfather's the best part
the chewy cartledge ship. I was always told, rake that bone,
you better break that bone, yeah, because you gotta get
(18:09):
that ship clean. Any and also ribs, like, oh, my goodness,
I love ribs too. I honestly, I think Southern cuisine
is probably the best American food you can have. To
be honest, I don't know much else. I mean, there's
other things that Americans have kind of done their spin
on from other places, but my goodness, Southern cuisine is
(18:30):
the way to go. And by the way, bombing of Dresden,
I have not had bow Jangles, Fred Chicken or bow rounds.
So what's bow rounds? I don't know, like boo urns.
I think they were saying booerns. That's actually a question.
Somebody asked how we stay sane and happy? Uh? A
(18:51):
lot of Simpsons quotes, a lot of YouTube clips. Uh yeah,
oh yeah, guys, Well we'll link off to that video.
There's one video we really like in this office of Uh.
It's like coverage of an electronic music festival and like
Rotterdam or something in Holland, and the host is speaking
Dutch and then this man comes out like and they're
(19:13):
they're they're touring like the men's bathroom area of this
music festival. And in Holland, the urinals look different than
in the US. They're like these like stainless steel things,
and like usually when you're at a music festival, you're
not used to seeing like outdoor urinals, like like in
a men's room for like that, just because that's how
I guess homophobic man are in the US, like I
have to be in my own thing. A thought a
(19:35):
baseball game they have general anyway, So in this video,
there in this bathroom section and this American guy who
looks like he is like a farmer from the Midwest somehow. Yeah,
out of like a methadone clinic for farmers. Yeah, he's
in a porta parte. He comes out, looks at this
urinal and he sees the crew I think, gets nervous
(19:58):
and starts just wash his hands in the urinal and
uses the the urinal cake is soap and then they
just start laughing. Uh And as I say it out loud,
it's not that funny, but they're just the guys like,
oh no, that wasn't the toilet wasn't And they're like, yeah,
I think so. And they go back in the host
to start speaking Dutch. But there's this one moment where
it's just Dutch and it's like something something for the
record is piss Buck. And the guys are like, yeah,
(20:20):
it's piss Buck. So that's I mean, I think, really
we're doing a show like this, we try not to
look at every given news story, or at least personally,
I don't look at everything is being settled as this
is the future and everything is permanent. I think if
there's one thing I've learned in my lifetime is that
nothing is actually permanent. Um And so I can use
(20:40):
that to give myself a little bit of optimism at least, like,
especially through doing the show, that like we're communicating to
people and the people who listen to the shows, like
there's a community of people who are willing to make
sacrifices to better this world, this country. Um. So I
try and look at it like that and say, nothing
is truly ever permanent, and I believe in the people's
(21:02):
capacity to change things. And I think I get more anxious,
Like if I'm not paying attention to something, if I
know there's like a problem that affects me and I
just like let it linger without dealing with it mentally,
like that, I get more and more anxious. So like, actually,
you know, at least working through it mentally and talking
through it with you and our guests actually helps me
(21:25):
at least, you know, address it and feel like I'm
working through it, that I actually understand what's going on,
as opposed to there's just this looming problem out there,
because I know sometimes people are always like I can't
even look at the news anymore, and I don't think
that's the best remedy to it, because you're inevitably going
to be in for a shock the next time you
(21:46):
look at the news. Yeah, it's not right, but I think,
like you know, when you're I guess when every day
we're slapping our foreheads and being like what the fuck? Yeah,
just like groaning. It's it's easier than like even when
you're gone for a few days and you look back
and you're like, wait, nine things happened that could have
done that. I just know that there are many good
(22:07):
people out there trying to do good uh, And a
lot of the times the news focus is on the
worst because that also helps perpetuate a sort of an
atmosphere of fear. But I think there's a good good
way to work through everything is just to kind of
talk about it and think of how you can contribute to,
you know, some form of positivity in regards to anything
that's makes you feel bad. How often do you get shave?
(22:30):
From that one to what? Uh yo? How cad I shave?
I fucking don't really shave ever because my facial hair
looks like shit. It grows in patchy, I look like
uh Southeast Asian pirate uh, and I don't know what
else to do about it. So when I let it go,
you know what happened, right? I remember in college I
(22:51):
was really self conscious because I have like weird ass
facial hair and I would like shave it all the time.
And then one woman was like, no, I think it's cool.
Like if when I see you, I'm like, what's going
what's going on his facial hair? I want to know
more about him? And that like empowered me to just
not give a funk about my facial hair, while other
people were like, what's going on with your facial hair?
But I don't know. I don't really have a a
(23:12):
set schedule with my shaving. There's a comedian who has
a joke about how like if you want to see
a guy wear the same shirt like every day for
a week, just compliment it, like compliment right right. It's
like he'll just be like, oh oh this no, no
big deal, but then like, you know, yeah, it's true.
What a little bit of your hopeless Yeah, and again
(23:33):
I don't know, I'm not I'm not here to win
any modeling contest or anything. And it's l A. You know.
L A also has a vibe where I've noticed other
cities people look really like New York. Yeah. There there's
a lot of people too who look clean and got it,
like they're just they have a look to them. Like
California's vibe is more like whatever, you know in a
(23:54):
way like that's sort of the general vibe of California.
So that's I will whatever towards my face. It depends
because like on Saturdays, I take my son to soccer,
and all the other dads have like real jobs, and
so they're all like clean shaved and look like showered,
and I like show up looking like, you know, I haven't.
I shave probably once or twice a week. And it's
(24:16):
just very clear though, because it is the unemployed, and
they talked to your sons like is that your dad?
Are you okay to go home with him? So I
usually shaved for my son's soccer practice, and oh do
you want to be like going on a sutain time briefcase.
Oh hello, gentlemen, just coming from work. You just print
(24:38):
up a bunch of like a quarterly earnings reports and
like they blow out of this. Oh goodness, I'm so
sorry about this. Uh you work for a I g No,
I'm not used to. Somebody asks Jack, what do you
do apart from the podcast? Who are you? My parents?
People I meet at party. We we do lots of stuff.
(24:59):
We developed the other shows on the podcast network, chime in,
you know, put out fire as we do all kinds
of stuff. Here is one that's a little bit. This
is a more life oriented question. This is from Lonnie
x c I I what do you guys feel like
your proudest accomplishments in life are so far? Man, mine's
gonna be so lame. Asked me that at the end
(25:20):
of my life, because I don't haven't I don't haven't
done ship. Wow, I don't know. Oh yo, I scored
a sick fucking scorpion kid goaling FIFA yesterday. Okay, that
was I should have saved the fucking replay. That was
really dope. Honestly proud accomplishment. This is gonna sound cheesy,
is this show. Well, I'm very very proud of this show,
(25:44):
very proud of it, and I'm very proud of the
love we get and the kind of people that listen
to the show. Like it's not a thing where I'm like,
oh yo, we have some whack fucking fans, you know
what I mean, Like I'm sure other things have that.
I think probably because our politics are so clear, it's
only going to resonate with kind of specific people. Yeah,
but we get some we get some feedback from people
(26:05):
who are like, hey, I'm a lifelong conservative and you're
wrong about this thing, but still love the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
And I think and I think that's the thing too,
is I'm I think even if you're if you're a
reasonable conservative, like you know, we go hard in on
like right wing politics that are just basically just mostly racism, xenophobia,
home of they hate hate ship hate policy is one
thing in lack of common sense. But yeah, I think
(26:27):
for like doing this show, I always tell people it's
like the perfect intersection of all of my past experiences, uh,
and being able to do it is I feel it's
an accomplishment. Yeah, and I mean having experience creating content
on the internet. Like the fact that our fans are
(26:48):
really nice to our guests, Like that's so just rewarding
to because like I've worked places where, you know, you
bring a writer in to do a guest call them
and people they're just like, holy shit, what the fund
is wrong with people? And like that's just you know,
that's a reflection on the you know, the site or
(27:09):
the product that you're putting out there is the people
who consume it. So the fact that we've created a
community that's as cool as you guys, is really dope. Yeah.
I hope to meet all of you one day as
much as I can. That would be That would be wonderful. Yeah,
all of them. Everybody. Somebody asked about live shows and
(27:31):
like what would a live show look like, and we're
trying to figure that out right now. We have there
will be something and have something coming up. Yeah, we
have something coming up. It probably won't just be a
live version of what we do on the show. It'll
probably be something more more special and that you can
only get at the live show. Is the plan. Kind
of last podcast on the Left, I guess does that
(27:53):
where it's just it's not just them doing a live
episode of the podcast. It's more of a an event. Yeah,
because I feel like, at the same time, you hear
the show all the time, So to just go and
see us sit down in a set like a semicircle
and look at each other talking about ship would be
different than if, you know, we go out there with
the hacker Jamie Loftus and start just hacking people's phones
(28:14):
and doing all kinds of weird stuff like that. Yeah,
a lot of dancing, a lot of foot measure of dancing.
You and if you guys come to the show, you
will see all of our feet. Best and worst fast
food French fries. Uh, best for me McDonald's. Worst for
me is burger King. That's almost yeah. Oh m god,
something like that. I was gonna say, I was gonna
(28:35):
say that Definitely McDonald's fries. No matter where you go
in the world, they're consistent. I think McDonald's fries are
one of the best things we've accomplished as a people. Wow. Yeah,
that's amazing. Yeah. I think yeah, worst is burger King
because they're doing like the shitty version of Jack in
the Box. Friends, it's got that other weird crunch on
(28:55):
the outside. It's not. I'm really not. Here's a mess
Burger king. What's another good French fry that I like? Though? Too? Oh? Uh?
You know also like I like Raising Kanes the chicken
finger spot. Oh, I like their crinkle cut fries too
close are fine, They're not, there's nothing special. It could
just be because I loved the chicken fingers. But uh,
(29:16):
you know, Raising Caines, I always have a good time
eating that fried mess. What are some good books you
all have read recently? Uh? This is from Sexy Massage
and great great reddit, great reddit name, and they said
I read Incognito by David Eagleman and it was fantastic. Yes,
that is my favorite book to recommend to people, because
(29:40):
I don't hear it recommended that many places, and that
is hell to read change the way you think about stuff.
Some books that are good, God, there's so many. Uh
oh man, I remember Confessions of an Economic hit Man.
It is a great book by John Perkins. Just to
kind of get an idea of the other ways the
(30:01):
American government used its influence during the Cold War, not
using guns but using debt. I'm currently reading this book
called America The Farewell Tour by Chris Hedges, which has
a lot to do with sort of the decline of
the American Empire, uh and kind of looking at that
through the lens of just sort of social critiques and
(30:23):
history in a spiritual book. The book by Alan Watts.
It was something my dad gave me when I graduated
high school. Uh, that really kind of got me to
think a little bit more about my own existence a bit.
Sex at Dawn is a book I read for an
Old Cracked podcast by Christopher Ryan and Casilda Jetha. That
(30:47):
is really good. Tenth of December Stories by George Saunders,
really good short stories. Uh, Love that dude. Dark Money
by Jane Mayer is really good. The Evolution of Beauty,
which I've talked about before on the podcast by Richard Prum. Oh.
People ask a lot about Lost Connections because I talked
about it before by Johann Harri uh and it's pretty solid,
(31:13):
but it has some really interesting information in and about
just the mental health kind of infrastructure that we have
in this country. Our Towns by James Fellows Fallows and
Deborah Fallows is kind of a hopeful look at America,
which is in short supply, and yeah, I'm reading Winners
(31:34):
Take All right now. And the Goldfinch a novel, uh
is the novel that everybody has heard of and I
don't need to. Oh, Heroes of the Frontier by Dave
Eggers is another novel that is pretty good. Novels, just
I don't read novels. I just started with that Egger's book.
(31:54):
I just have this weird thing. I love nonfiction. Yeah,
but like you're not weird, know, it's just weird, Like
I don't know, like I wish I at times could
be more into like literature and things like that. And
I've you know, I read those kinds of books too,
but I don't nearly get the same just like satisfactions
like filling my head with information, as Howard Kramer calls them,
(32:14):
make them up, Yeah, you know, make um up. You know,
make them ups. Oh, here's a good one from Mr
jeff Ray. If you had all the time in the
world to do any hobby, what would it be. I
don't know. You have mine. Oh, I would love to
coach a football soccer team. I used to coach youth
soccer and that was like some of the most fun
(32:36):
I've ever had just you know, like there's something about
coaching that's really fun about like organizing a team and
having a like a vision tactically and seeing them do
that and then trying to figure out how to get
the most out of players. I did had, like I
coached like you twelve and like you eleven, you ten
girls like my friend's little sister's team, and we just
(32:56):
had a bunch of free time, like you want to
coach my sister's team, and we did, and we were
so good at But like, I think one of the
things I didn't realize that was really fun was about
like instilling sort of self belief and confidence in the
players and realizing that that can do so much for
like just someone's well being even off the field. That
there was something about that. You know, I'm a nurturer. Yeah, no,
(33:19):
you are, And you know that's that's actually a good answer,
because I used to be that dude before I had kids,
who was like, fucking kids, your kids are annoying and
don't show me their pictures. But now, like you know,
being around my kids, obviously they're the best. They're really smart.
Actually Ramsay's doing this, no, but just being around uh,
(33:42):
even other people's kids. Like it's a lot of fun
to hang out with kids and just like interact with them,
and you know, uh yeah, but like your hang around
kids all day. Well, like, well, somebody else asked what
we do for a living, and like, I think teaching
would be pretty dope. Yeah, I've always had that in
my back pocket. I studied history in college just because
(34:03):
I knew I was never going to have a job
that required a degree in a specific field, so I
always had I was a European history major just so
I could, like my one of my favorite teachers was
my ap American history teacher, and I was like, damn,
that was a dope class because he didn't pull punches
and like was really about having us understand history. And
(34:25):
that was Yeah. If I had to do a job,
if obviously I couldn't be the next Arson Venger two point, oh,
I would be the next Mr Woolery point or coaching
like youth basketball or something like that. Transient was the
one who asked if we didn't work on the pub,
what would be our ideal jobs? Uh? He also asked, also,
you guys got for the NBA Finals this year? Um,
(34:48):
Golden State and yeah, maybe it's going to be another
golden story I want. But in a fantasy world, no,
I'm even six baby. In a fantasy world, any fantasy world,
it would be Lakers sixers and this would that would
be good for the pod. Oh yeah, Sylvie would lose
(35:09):
her head. Yes, do you think we're producer Sophie Lichtman
is in the house? Uh? Super producer on a Jsnie
is an assignment, but sort of producer Sophie Lichtman. That's
that's an element that you guys don't get on the
pod because she doesn't usually sit in on the show.
But she is such a Kobe Stand that it is overwhelming.
(35:30):
It's Kobe Stand is not a country in the Middle East. No,
it's not. It is. She is obsessed with Kobe and
it's a significant it's the name of our WiFi network.
It's just Kobe Stand. Kobe Stand. Well, I'm sure if
you listen to Culture Kings they they yes. In case
you don't. In case you don't, that is, we don't
check in on that in the air. Oh. I like
(35:52):
this one. This is from h B h O at
both discussion. This is to bring up a discussion. How
do you both think that meme culture has affected calm
positives negatives. That's a good question. I think it's democratized
it in a way that's good in some cases, Like
I think more people are funnier, at least when it
comes to writing and like expressing them. So like y'all
(36:16):
are funny as fun like are are fans are really funny?
Then Twitter is a hilarious place to be. I think
it would be interesting, though, to begin trying to cultivate
people who are really great and meme type thinkers. There's
a lot of creative like you have to be very
intelligent and analytical to do like a really good on
the nose meme, And I think I don't know. I'm
(36:39):
sure those people probably maybe trying to pursue traditional careers
in comedy, but I feel like those people should definitely
benefit from contributing to comedy in some way that isn't
just getting a bunch of retweets. The downside to it
is you can create all these memes and stuff and
get you know, people like, oh my god, I know
that meme or whatever, but there's no way for that
to become a living And that would be interesting to
(37:00):
see how that can happen for sure. Yeah, all right,
we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back and super producers Sophie Lichtman said this
(37:23):
isn't on your little reddit thread, and she waved dismissively,
but then said, I want you guys to tell us
what your favorite television shows are. Someone did ask this
a underscore hand? Oh did ask favorite? That's sitcom? Favorite
sitcom of all time? Simpsons, camn that's not a sitcom
(37:43):
like if we're talking a traditional multicam show. Uh, Fresh,
Prince of bel Air, Yeah, it's probably one of my favorites. Seinfeld,
even Seinfeld so much. I don't like Jerry Seinfeld. I
love Kramer of characters, not like his politics. I love
(38:04):
his politics. He's got you know, he has some hot takes. Yeah,
I think Seinfeld and uh Fresh Prints, although I don't
watch Fresh like Fresh Prince doesn't nearly have the kind
of refront reruns it should be getting. Yeah. In terms
of favorite TV shows, the Simpsons are one of my
favorite shows ever. Beavis and butt Head is one of
my favorite shows ever. King of the Hill I even
(38:25):
like to being pretty wacky, uh in a little you know,
problematic at times, but it was the nineties, uh, and
we weren't quite onto everything. And and like HBO shows,
I'll say that Dan and Dale, Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire. Yeah.
It's like the questions almost like what are your favorite
TV shows that aren't the obvious ones like The Wire
(38:48):
and U because I love The Wire, um anything most
I know most people like The Wire, but I really,
I really like And you know, I would have voted
Obama for a third term, So there's that. I would say.
The other thing I like Insecure a lot, although I
haven't started the third in Atlanta. Yeah, and you know
(39:09):
I watched so much shit reality though too, Like are
you the one you empty an impressive amount? Yeah, that's
my finger comes up in our with our guest and
you got you will just talk with a lot of
knowledge on Yeah, well, fiance, I cannot talk about that
fucking dumpster fire of a show enough. The only thing
(39:31):
on our wall is a giant note from season two
of The Jersey Shore. And that is not a mistake.
That is that is all because shared I just would
taste in pop culture. We needed it, we needed it.
This same person actually has another question that's kind of interesting.
What is the most beautiful natural site you've seen? Wow,
(39:54):
the birth of my child ship? That ship is not natural?
Fucking uh no. Also that's not natural because you're I
was like in a bunny suit in the hospital. Most
natural beautiful, I guess in terms of earth and earth,
not a human emotional. I got one where I was
(40:15):
out on a fishing boat at like the crack of dawn,
right off of Cape Cod and there was like a
school of blue fish like running down a wave that
was like kind of keeping pace with the boat we
were in. It was pretty you're crying, Wow, it's just
looked at me. Man, It's just bluefish, blueish reference for you.
(40:40):
Let's see from everybody knows. I'll tell you that I've
missed Doctor Jay's like final like farewell game because Jaws
Too was on TV. My grandfather was coaching against Dr
j Like the whole family. The whole family was like
going like leaving the Jersey shore to like go down
to the game at Philly, and you stayed behind to
(41:02):
watch Jaws Too. I played sick because Jaws two was
on TV and I was obsessed with ja My I
was goodness, that is the kind of kid I was
I hope you heard that. Um, I hope you heard that,
doctor Jay. Hope you heard that, Doctor j Let's see,
I would say one of the most beautiful natural sites
I've seen was one time in Japan in the Japanese Alps,
(41:26):
there was just a sunrise that I saw that was breathtaking.
And also one of the other times, there's this place
in Guatemala called which is like this lake that yeah, okay,
well wait till you go sucker him. See it's surrounded
by volcanoes and I'm pretty sure the Mayans considered it
to be like the center of the universe. Uh, And
it is one of the most amazing places I've ever
(41:49):
been to and set my eyes on. I was just
laughing at Oh wow, that's worse. I know, my way worse,
my my mama. Um oh what about this one. This
is a this is a hot one. This is from
Unity America's Choppo or Pod Save America fight. You know
(42:09):
they're not really definitely yeah, they're definitely not comfarable. There's
definitely a a feud there on the on the Choppo side,
Like Chapo is just like fuck these guys. Choppo is
for the for the real heads Uh. I would say
I agree with the politics on Choppo more than Pods
of America. Pods of America for the insight, because these
(42:32):
people do have functional knowledge of the executive branch. But
it's weird. Something I've realized too. The more we do
the show, the less I've been able to listen to
politics podcasts just because I've not that like I'm not
getting anything from it. But like I guess in that
way too, is a way to maintain my sanity because
I don't also don't just intake political news that we
(42:55):
talk about. Yeah, yeah, that's why I like, you know,
I gotta get the Bodego Boys going, you know, I
gotta get sometimes improv for humans going for humans. Wow,
I just love dude. The UCB. Oh, that's another thing.
The UCB original show on Comedy Central was one of
my favorite shows when I was in junior high. Oh
the original yes, yes, yes, yes, I mean the Little
(43:17):
Donnie Foundation. Little Do The poostic is also so stupid
where he's like say, had the titular role in Star Wars. Guys,
if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sorry
for the upright citizens were gay before it was a
Improv Theater was a was a show on Comedy Center.
(43:39):
Well it wasn't improv Theater, and that that's how they've
got the show though. No, no, they named the improv
Theater after show got you. No, no, they probably they
were theater before anything. But it's a their first season
has first end. Second, I think, oh there's this is
a funny one too. I heard, you know on Culture
Kings they do would you rather? And this is one
(44:00):
that came up. This is when I think from that show,
this is it would you rather? Jack? And I'm sorry
if you guys have sensitive ears, please turn your ears away.
But this would you rather? Is so absurd? Would you
rather fuck a goat? And nobody would ever else? Shit?
Would you rather fuck a go to? Nobody would ever know?
Or not? Funck a goat and have everyone believe you did?
(44:23):
Now I reject to what the downside of sucking a
goat and nobody ever knowingly? You like playing around that
beast reality? I think it's abuse and uh no. This
is the reason I reject this premise because this is
really just a question of would you fuck a goat?
It's not would you rather? It's it's whether you value
(44:44):
your reputation more than your experience. Okay, well I don't.
I don't give a funk about my reputation or fucking
a goat, So I'm not sucking the goat and have
everyone believe I did. And anything you guys hear anyway
that comes out is bullshit. So just remember that it's lies.
But I know the truth. That's all I'm saying, right right, Yeah, no, Miles,
(45:08):
and he definitely wanted us to bring this one up
in particular if you don't use if like, the whole
reason for having this episode was to get around to
this question, and Miles has definitely you guys right, no,
is that good? That's fine? Okay? But I know the
truth I'm saying is I know the truth, and I
(45:28):
don't care what everybody else knows. As Donald Trump, we
know the truth and also truth is the truth. So
what are you gonna do now? Yeah? I think we're
doing good. Keep talking more about professional sports and players.
Come on, man, come on, Eric the Brown, Eric the Brown, Yeah,
who do you want to talk a terrible question? Well,
I mean I can, I mean we can. Do you
want to talk about I saw how like the questions
(45:51):
underneath that We're also like, I don't know anything about sports.
They talked about sports just enough, and then other like
unless you're talking about soccer football, like I don't know
what is going on. Yeah, yeah we could, but we
don't because it's not sports podcast. But obviously sports does
come into the zeitgeist and we cover it at that point.
But I don't know if people would want to hear
our sports talk all day Miles Indica, Sativa, Oh, all
(46:15):
three in because of Tiva hybrids. It's all about moods,
you know what I mean. If you're trying to do
some thinking, I like to do a little Sativa, And
you know, hybrids are good just when you're trying to
get equal parts clear headed and a little bit melty.
And if you just want to fall asleep watching ninety
day Fiance with half of fried chicken in your lap,
(46:36):
go all the way Indica. Yeah you ate half of
fried chicken recently. Yeah, And I love it. If it's
what you say it is. If it's what you say
is that it is, I love it. Especially in the
fall um Well Trump for Thursday's ever returned, Yes, once
he leaves off Trump freed Thursday. Oh have to bring
(46:59):
it back. Yeah, just for that drop. Damn Nick has
been just waiting. Oh yeah, doesn't know that. Someone asked,
what does superducer Nick stuff look like? Benia and Bazuna
said yes, that he looked like Ray Romanto. I mean,
if Ray Romano was in a band and not a
like a full on old dad look. Maybe, but I
(47:20):
think I think I think Nick has a season, his
own lane, a lot of the shady ones. Jack. Are
you contractually obligated to say that you worked at Cracked? Yeah?
You are, I am, It's in my contract. And thanks
for asking, Jack. How hard do you have to try
to sound excited and pumped? Did someone tell you you're
(47:41):
too monotonous at some point? Was it Miles? Did he
hurt you? Ah? Cool? I don't think did that hurt
you all the way? Don't do this on Don't do
this on Mike. Don't do this on Mike. Jack, No, man, Okay,
I'm sorry about that. Guys will edit that out. Don't
(48:03):
edit that out. Would you consider setting up cameras for
the show and charging five dollars a month for access
to the feed? I'd absolutely subscribe from tron Underscore Parker
British Cold Gas Study, Um no, were you reading his flair?
Are their flair? What is the flair? That's like the
(48:24):
little thing that is next to the user name? So
some people on the subway to have British cold gas
study people little zam smoking big old doings in amice.
There you go. Um, that might be the most beautiful
natural thing that I've ever seen is smoking and then
gang at the end. Wait, what was the question? Are
(48:46):
you just reading the flare? Now? They were asking would
we consider setting up cameras for the show and doing Uh, like, man,
we gotta buy camera and liquid shows. Okay, the Camp
show asked me that in particular, but I could tell
that that's what they're implying. Well, I think you know, gosh,
(49:09):
I don't know if people, if enough of you guys
paid for it. Shit, yeah, we can record every episode
with a camera crew. But maybe one day then they'd
see me pre shirt change. Oh yeah, and you will
see that I fart a lot during the show. It out.
You have to put a special gate on my microphone
that will keep the fart sounds out. If you guys
(49:31):
can't pay for a wet suit for me to wear
it during recording, don't do it. Yeah, well, I think
I think we've covered everything. I think we've covered everything,
covered every single comment in here, not nearly. You guys

He'll do it too. Although you know, I really funk
with the labor movement, so you know what, maybe I
don't know whatever, Yeah, what am I gonna do? You know?
(00:42):
I feel like that doesn't get recognized, that one that
I funk with the labor movement. People need to recognize
that more about you. Yeah, you know honestly, like I
used to kick a lot with people that I be
w but the leftist politics of this holiday feel like people,
oh yeah, we don't talk about the social It is
very true, actually like unions that much on Labor Day.
And you got a union busting lover and possibly Brett
(01:04):
Cabinaugh coming true this week. But anyway, let's get to
brass tacks. Let's get down to it. I mean, y'all,
I mean y'all. We're not saying y'all, Hey, y'all, y'all.
So you guys don't know, there is a subreddit that's
called the Daily Zeitgeist. Are the Daily Zeitgeist, and we
hit up the homie user bombing of Dressden and said, hey,
(01:25):
don't you mind asking the reddit zeke gang some questions
they want to answer, because I think if you've listened
to the show enough, you know, then when it's a
tree Day weekend, there's probably gonna be ask us anything
type of thing, or we do overrunners and things like that.
So today is no different. And these questions are coming
from the zeit Gang on the subreddit, and yes, thank
(01:45):
you everyone for your questions, and I think let's just
get right. I would say take some of you for
your questions. Some of your questions were offensive to me,
well you know, I know they were. They were great
asking if you were hurt truly. Yeah, people think I'm
very upset, like what's with all the energy? Yeah, somebody
(02:06):
just commented on on Twitter on my picture because my
eyes are always like almost closed because it's bright out.
Someone was like, what's wrong, bro, get some sleep. Well,
you guys are hard on me, and that's what this
episode is going to be about. Be nicer to me.
Uh no, So I thought there were some really good questions,
very good questions. Can I start us off? Yes, sir, both.
(02:29):
Are there any conspiracy theories you believe or think have
some credibility of time? Come on, Jack, bring it? No man,
you tell me years I always talked about my conspiration. Well, look, man,
I just saw loose change and I got a couple
of questions. I'm gonna be real. Let's see. Okay, now
(02:49):
wow music, Wow, blew my hand off. Any conspiracy song
gets a little peppie there after a while, well usually
cut it off because it's not real conspiracy. It's just like,
undermine what you're saying by being jokey. Oh thanks, Miles. Yeah,
I mean that's what that's how I think it's operating.
I don't know. That's why other people are like, wasn't
just the X Files music? Which is another question on here.
(03:11):
That's two on the nose, you know, and it is
not undermining the seriousness of what I'm saying. What is
a thing I mean Jesus, what we've talked about that
my pet conspiracy theories, the JFK JFK one. The government
also probably killed Martin Luther King Jr. The whole thing
with the people down in Cuba, the diplomats down in Cuba.
(03:35):
Oh wait, but you don't think that's a mass panic yea,
not an yeah, not a sonic reagun. So it's the
opposite of a conspiracy. What's what My question is, what
did happen with Building seven at the World Trade Center?
I don't know why did that won't fall down? I
don't know, man, what's the official word. I'm not here
to be like, well, that's the control room. I just
think that there's a lot of a lot of weird
(03:57):
ship happens when you knock two giant tower is down,
and like you know that are gonna look weird hap him?
All right? All right? Ken Star? Yeah, And I'll just
wish you'd stop asking this question. Also, now you know
conspiracy that this is not really a good one for
me because I the only ones I believe and are
the ones my grandparents are really into. And that's like
(04:18):
the like the jay Z and Beyonce and the Illuminati.
That's when my grand I had to talk my grandparents.
These elderly African American people, they get in these groups
with older church going people to like, you know, Beyonce
and jay Z there in the Illuminati and they worship
the devil. And I do those two go together? I don't,
I guess. I mean it depends on what circles you
(04:38):
run in. Oh, I have one. Oh, this one is
from zo Zooga door six six six. I'm in my
forties and listen to your show daily. I love the show,
but often find myself scratching my head with how phrases
change over time. When did these following changes occur? Quote,
I haven't seen you in about a minute? A minute
is now how long? I don't know. In a minute.
(05:02):
I would say that changed about twenty years ago. You
could say, man, it's been a minute. So why are
they scratching their head? Do they have like an itchy
head or something? Hey, I don't know, I'm not here
to you know, speculate on this person's scalpular health. Not
familiar with that phrase? What about this one? Jack? I
funk with that? Start playing bingo, y'all, I funk with that.
(05:24):
When did funk with go from being bothered by something
slash somebody to me and being into something. This is
just African Americans speak, slowly shifting into uh, just general. Well,
I for one do not like it, okay or not
a fan? That's us helping an old listener out any
other questions they have. That's at you, at Jack. This
(05:46):
is from our our narc at Jack. I'm a big
fan of your time hosting the Cracked podcast. With Monday's
episodes becoming Big Ideas Show, are you looking to emulate
some of that Cracked podcast format? If so, when can
you get Jason Pargeon to phone in and rob some
knowledge ideas show? Yeah, we'll try and do that. We
need to do that. I need to where does Jason
Pargeon live? He lives in He doesn't live in l
(06:08):
A right, No, he lives in Tennessee. Oh, so he'll
definitely have to phone in. Yeah, and he he lives
in an undisclosed location. Cool. Yeah, he's usually flying above
the earth. I actually have not talked to Jason a
long time, and I need to do that. So I
missed him. You guys are hearing this live on Cut
just brought two people together, so I'm I have it
(06:31):
on my to do list that Okay, uh, Miles, what's
something that's uh, We're not going to answer all of
these because Wavy Jones got a little greedy. But I'm
gonna let's let's answer that a lot of questions. Let's
answer one of these. What's something that's overrated, underrated, A
myth or a reason Google search that says something about you,
(06:52):
Oh shit, recent overrated, underrated? I can do my myth, yeah,
because it keeps coming up over the past couple of weeks.
Something that keeps coming up is that Nate Silver said
Hillary was a shoeing to win. I think there are
a couple of things that worked there. I think most
people and outlets were embarrassingly wrong in their prognostication before
(07:13):
the election. And I think like the New York Times
and the Washington Post were saying, and uh, Nate Silver
is just our most famous prognosticator, so everybody remembers him
as being the guy who was like saying it was.
And also I think we're just bad at probability because
he basically said it was one in four chance that
(07:35):
Trump would win. Towards the end, uh, he noticed that
the polls after the comy thing, swung things in Trump's direction,
and you know, was talking about it being a very
real possibility up until the end. But because Nate Silver
is the face of election predictions and because almost everybody
(07:56):
got it incredibly wrong and he got it sort of wrong,
I think people just associate him with being wrong. And
you know, he's still pretty smart and his website is
very smart, and I think they do a good job
of working with data. That is my myth. Yes, what
(08:17):
is my something that I consider over or under I
would like to say that hint water is underrated. You're
just looking at things on the table. But I believe this,
uh salad. I also believe headphone is over it and
(08:38):
lisol scrubbing bathroom wipes are in the UK. No one
thing that I think is actually I think the myth
is that, you know, like I think the game of politics,
I think is starting to look more and more like
a myth, right, that their sides advocating for two different
(08:59):
things when just like we were talking about last week
about how you know, these gatherings of the wealthy and powerful,
they're talking about like things that appear to be fundamental
changes to our society that still keep the system in place,
or like you know that Democrats that are playing fair
or unfair. It's that there's not even a game. It's
(09:20):
this ship is just straight up manipulation of our democracy.
And some people would do it blatantly. Other people try
and do it in with a you know, some kind
of appearance that it's being done for a good reason.
I basically what I'm calling for is for us to
just see through that and understand. I think all of
this leads to the idea that we are all trying
(09:42):
to point fingers at different sides when we shouldn't be
pointing left or right. We should be pointing up, Uh,
look at the Yeah, right, God, where's your God? Now? No,
but yeah, I think that's yeah, that's not I mean,
there as you look at I will we always say
this all the time. I'm talking about late stage capitalism
on the show. I mean the GOP has masterfully and
(10:03):
the Democrats to a certain extent, has got done a
good job of keeping the attention away from us actually
looking at the people who are making the most money
right now and keeping that wealth away from everyone else. Yeah,
for sure, it's a little conflicting because like a lot
of the Trump hate that comes from the mainstream media
and mainstream political elite, I feel like is because he's
(10:26):
not like one of those core people, you know, And
so sometimes I'm like, yeah, you hate him, but maybe
for the wrong reasons. Right. Well, And I think a
lot of people they see the way politics are played
as this structured game, like you do this and you
get this and blah blah blah, and Donald Trump just
kind of saw power and just like, Okay, I'm just
gonna break through all these normal things and just try
(10:49):
and work that in whatever way possible. Right All his
outsidership turned out to be just rhetoric, but and he
was onto something with all that drain the swamp stuff,
he just turned out tread to drain it by drinking it. Hey,
at Miles, if we smoked together, what kind of snacks
would you bring? First of all, I'm not bringing the snacks.
(11:12):
You better have the snacks. You don't know me, You
don't fucking Fenton one seven a j Fenton. You know
what snacks am I bringing? Oh? You know what, I
would bring a lot of Japanese chips and Japanese snack food,
because my fucking lord, the chips that we have in Japan,
like Carl is like it's just a chip called Carl,
(11:35):
and it looks like look weird farmer with a beard
on it. It's like Cheetos puffs, but like from another
dimension with better flavors. I would bring another Japanese snack
called which is like a cracker that tastes very delicious.
And I would bring a lot of Japanese drinks too,
mostly this one peach drink that I like called Momental Tendency,
(11:55):
which is a basically it's a clear liquid that just
tastes like straight up eaches and sugar. And so yes,
that's what I would be doing. That's what I would
bring to the Zigang smoke out all right, brought to
you by that. This is one is from Fooshi is Nick?
Your ads are hilarious. How much is scripted verse improv? Yeah?
We're given a script and then so I usually stick
(12:20):
to that and then Miles is funny and I just react.
And a lot of times when Jack goes hey Miles,
I am actually caught off guard, yeah, and don't realize
what's going on. And that's usually he just comes up
with something. As I say, hey, Miles, we haven't really
sometimes when sometimes we've planned stuff, I think when sometimes look,
(12:40):
we're not gonna lie and don't let the advertise here
this everything is written out. Everything is written prescripted, including
everything we're saying right now, right now. Yes, sometimes we
have copy that we have to read and we just go,
you know what, how do we make this? I think
we just have to do, like how do we laugh
by the end of it while we read it? And
that's our north star? Yes, yeah, and super producer Nick
(13:01):
Stump is always in the booth giving us direction and
sometimes we think what we said is funny and he's like, maybe, yeah,
all right that, let's keep that as an option. As
the director said to Donald Trump, right, let's keep that
as an option. We'll keep that as an option. Hey, Miles,
speaking of ads, Yeah, should we take a break? Oh yeah,
(13:25):
I guess we're good at all? That is that high
pitched enough? Yeah, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back after that and we're back. How do
you like that ad? Man? I hope that was one
(13:47):
of ours. It's amazing that we got away with that
product placement of putting an ad right in the episode.
Talking about ads, they paid us so much extra for that. Miles.
What was it like to be Blazian growing up or
when you visited Japan? Oh wow? Growing up Blazian in Japan, Well,
you know, I grew up either being with one of
(14:09):
my parents and someone thinking I wasn't their child a lot,
especially with my mom. Yeah, because my mom is Japanese
and she walks around this little curly haired brown boy.
And Uh, as a teenager, people would like when you
go on an airplane, they would say, like check in
for a flight to go to Japan or something. They say,
would you like to sit next to your friend? And
she's like, this is my son. Um. And in Japan,
(14:30):
I remember, you know, I would be self conscious because
like when I was a kid, a lot of people
would stare at me, and Uh, I thought, oh man,
like what you know, like am I a weirdo or whatever.
Mom always be like they're just looking at you because
they've never seen a boy so handsome, and I was
like thank you. And then now I've become this egomaniac
that stopped. It's really a problem, Um, growing up in Japan,
(14:51):
like doing, being Blazian in Japan is kind of cool
because on one hand, it's an island culture, so I
never quite fit in. I think being biracial, inevitably that happen.
You're never quite Japanese enough to be Japanese, never quite
black enough to be black, You're never quite American enough
to be whatever. But in Japan, I really enjoyed it,
just because there will be times people would talk shit
(15:12):
and I would just clap back in Japanese and they
would be so because they assumed you didn't. Yeah, they'd
be mortified. They would refer to they would say, like,
you know, I remember when I was fourteen one time
I went to this video game store and this dude
followed me around the store the whole time because he
thought I was shoplifting. And I turned around and just
in Japanese, I was like, can I help you? And
he was so shocked. He's like, no, no, I'm so sorry.
(15:34):
Uh no uh. And but I think culturally I feel
very much American, like African American and Japanese. And yeah,
it's it's a unique experience because you kind of you
you feel many things at once. But growing up in Japan,
or being there when I wasn't in school, was always fun.
Um My whole family is over there still, so it
(15:55):
wasn't too bad. I mean, but yeah, you'll always be mothered,
uh in a country like that because it's most very homogeneous.
But I was able to navigate that all right. Definitely
worth visiting, though. If you're thinking about going to Japan,
please go out there. I have a question. This this,
this this can be for both of us. This is
from bombing of Dresden. What is your favorite Southern cuisine? Oh,
(16:19):
favorite Southern cuisine? Now, what is officially southern? Like, it's
fried chicken Southern cuisine. I think I think that that's
very American. I think that originated in the South mostly,
so I think you can you can put that in there.
I definitely would probably it's not call it's not a
California or New York disition, right right, I'd probably go
(16:41):
fried chicken with baked beans. I love mixing chicken and
baked beans. Oh wow, Yeah, baked beans are good. I like,
uh anything with okra m and I love a good
biscuit collar greens. You have to make your collar greens
with like with ham, like you gotta have the hamhocking there.
Uh and otherwise, I mean I'm a wing person. I
(17:04):
don't know if you. I've talked about wings a lot
on the show or even on my Instagram, but I
only eat all flat lemon pepper wings from Wingstop. That's
my like quick converted you know, bite yo, I'm telling you,
and I know that's in Atlanta thing. I'm I'm I'm
riding with that too, because it's just it's the only
way to go. And if you and if you eat wings,
(17:26):
try going all flats, because I'm telling you, the meat
on the on the flat is more succulent, delicious, juicy,
And once you figure out the hack to eating it
where you take the little cartilage off the ends and
you slide out that little bone, everything else just comes
right off. And it's not like when you see when
I see people eat in between the two bones, like you,
what are you doing? Respect the bone? Yeah? I didn't
(17:48):
ever like clean the bone growing. And then I'm married
my wife and she completely clean, like it looks like
you just dug it up out of the ground. White
people don't rake the as My grandfather's the best part
the chewy cartledge ship. I was always told, rake that bone,
you better break that bone, yeah, because you gotta get
(18:09):
that ship clean. Any and also ribs, like, oh, my goodness,
I love ribs too. I honestly, I think Southern cuisine
is probably the best American food you can have. To
be honest, I don't know much else. I mean, there's
other things that Americans have kind of done their spin
on from other places, but my goodness, Southern cuisine is
(18:30):
the way to go. And by the way, bombing of Dresden,
I have not had bow Jangles, Fred Chicken or bow rounds.
So what's bow rounds? I don't know, like boo urns.
I think they were saying booerns. That's actually a question.
Somebody asked how we stay sane and happy? Uh? A
(18:51):
lot of Simpsons quotes, a lot of YouTube clips. Uh yeah,
oh yeah, guys, Well we'll link off to that video.
There's one video we really like in this office of Uh.
It's like coverage of an electronic music festival and like
Rotterdam or something in Holland, and the host is speaking
Dutch and then this man comes out like and they're
(19:13):
they're they're touring like the men's bathroom area of this
music festival. And in Holland, the urinals look different than
in the US. They're like these like stainless steel things,
and like usually when you're at a music festival, you're
not used to seeing like outdoor urinals, like like in
a men's room for like that, just because that's how
I guess homophobic man are in the US, like I
have to be in my own thing. A thought a
(19:35):
baseball game they have general anyway, So in this video,
there in this bathroom section and this American guy who
looks like he is like a farmer from the Midwest somehow. Yeah,
out of like a methadone clinic for farmers. Yeah, he's
in a porta parte. He comes out, looks at this
urinal and he sees the crew I think, gets nervous
(19:58):
and starts just wash his hands in the urinal and
uses the the urinal cake is soap and then they
just start laughing. Uh And as I say it out loud,
it's not that funny, but they're just the guys like,
oh no, that wasn't the toilet wasn't And they're like, yeah,
I think so. And they go back in the host
to start speaking Dutch. But there's this one moment where
it's just Dutch and it's like something something for the
record is piss Buck. And the guys are like, yeah,
(20:20):
it's piss Buck. So that's I mean, I think, really
we're doing a show like this, we try not to
look at every given news story, or at least personally,
I don't look at everything is being settled as this
is the future and everything is permanent. I think if
there's one thing I've learned in my lifetime is that
nothing is actually permanent. Um And so I can use
(20:40):
that to give myself a little bit of optimism at least, like,
especially through doing the show, that like we're communicating to
people and the people who listen to the shows, like
there's a community of people who are willing to make
sacrifices to better this world, this country. Um. So I
try and look at it like that and say, nothing
is truly ever permanent, and I believe in the people's
(21:02):
capacity to change things. And I think I get more anxious,
Like if I'm not paying attention to something, if I
know there's like a problem that affects me and I
just like let it linger without dealing with it mentally,
like that, I get more and more anxious. So like, actually,
you know, at least working through it mentally and talking
through it with you and our guests actually helps me
(21:25):
at least, you know, address it and feel like I'm
working through it, that I actually understand what's going on,
as opposed to there's just this looming problem out there,
because I know sometimes people are always like I can't
even look at the news anymore, and I don't think
that's the best remedy to it, because you're inevitably going
to be in for a shock the next time you
(21:46):
look at the news. Yeah, it's not right, but I think,
like you know, when you're I guess when every day
we're slapping our foreheads and being like what the fuck? Yeah,
just like groaning. It's it's easier than like even when
you're gone for a few days and you look back
and you're like, wait, nine things happened that could have
done that. I just know that there are many good
(22:07):
people out there trying to do good uh, And a
lot of the times the news focus is on the
worst because that also helps perpetuate a sort of an
atmosphere of fear. But I think there's a good good
way to work through everything is just to kind of
talk about it and think of how you can contribute to,
you know, some form of positivity in regards to anything
that's makes you feel bad. How often do you get shave?
(22:30):
From that one to what? Uh yo? How cad I shave?
I fucking don't really shave ever because my facial hair
looks like shit. It grows in patchy, I look like
uh Southeast Asian pirate uh, and I don't know what
else to do about it. So when I let it go,
you know what happened, right? I remember in college I
(22:51):
was really self conscious because I have like weird ass
facial hair and I would like shave it all the time.
And then one woman was like, no, I think it's cool.
Like if when I see you, I'm like, what's going
what's going on his facial hair? I want to know
more about him? And that like empowered me to just
not give a funk about my facial hair, while other
people were like, what's going on with your facial hair?
But I don't know. I don't really have a a
(23:12):
set schedule with my shaving. There's a comedian who has
a joke about how like if you want to see
a guy wear the same shirt like every day for
a week, just compliment it, like compliment right right. It's
like he'll just be like, oh oh this no, no
big deal, but then like, you know, yeah, it's true.
What a little bit of your hopeless Yeah, and again
(23:33):
I don't know, I'm not I'm not here to win
any modeling contest or anything. And it's l A. You know.
L A also has a vibe where I've noticed other
cities people look really like New York. Yeah. There there's
a lot of people too who look clean and got it,
like they're just they have a look to them. Like
California's vibe is more like whatever, you know in a
(23:54):
way like that's sort of the general vibe of California.
So that's I will whatever towards my face. It depends
because like on Saturdays, I take my son to soccer,
and all the other dads have like real jobs, and
so they're all like clean shaved and look like showered,
and I like show up looking like, you know, I haven't.
I shave probably once or twice a week. And it's
(24:16):
just very clear though, because it is the unemployed, and
they talked to your sons like is that your dad?
Are you okay to go home with him? So I
usually shaved for my son's soccer practice, and oh do
you want to be like going on a sutain time briefcase.
Oh hello, gentlemen, just coming from work. You just print
(24:38):
up a bunch of like a quarterly earnings reports and
like they blow out of this. Oh goodness, I'm so
sorry about this. Uh you work for a I g No,
I'm not used to. Somebody asks Jack, what do you
do apart from the podcast? Who are you? My parents?
People I meet at party. We we do lots of stuff.
(24:59):
We developed the other shows on the podcast network, chime in,
you know, put out fire as we do all kinds
of stuff. Here is one that's a little bit. This
is a more life oriented question. This is from Lonnie
x c I I what do you guys feel like
your proudest accomplishments in life are so far? Man, mine's
gonna be so lame. Asked me that at the end
(25:20):
of my life, because I don't haven't I don't haven't
done ship. Wow, I don't know. Oh yo, I scored
a sick fucking scorpion kid goaling FIFA yesterday. Okay, that
was I should have saved the fucking replay. That was
really dope. Honestly proud accomplishment. This is gonna sound cheesy,
is this show. Well, I'm very very proud of this show,
(25:44):
very proud of it, and I'm very proud of the
love we get and the kind of people that listen
to the show. Like it's not a thing where I'm like,
oh yo, we have some whack fucking fans, you know
what I mean, Like I'm sure other things have that.
I think probably because our politics are so clear, it's
only going to resonate with kind of specific people. Yeah,
but we get some we get some feedback from people
(26:05):
who are like, hey, I'm a lifelong conservative and you're
wrong about this thing, but still love the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
And I think and I think that's the thing too,
is I'm I think even if you're if you're a
reasonable conservative, like you know, we go hard in on
like right wing politics that are just basically just mostly racism, xenophobia,
home of they hate hate ship hate policy is one
thing in lack of common sense. But yeah, I think
(26:27):
for like doing this show, I always tell people it's
like the perfect intersection of all of my past experiences, uh,
and being able to do it is I feel it's
an accomplishment. Yeah, and I mean having experience creating content
on the internet. Like the fact that our fans are
(26:48):
really nice to our guests, Like that's so just rewarding
to because like I've worked places where, you know, you
bring a writer in to do a guest call them
and people they're just like, holy shit, what the fund
is wrong with people? And like that's just you know,
that's a reflection on the you know, the site or
(27:09):
the product that you're putting out there is the people
who consume it. So the fact that we've created a
community that's as cool as you guys, is really dope. Yeah.
I hope to meet all of you one day as
much as I can. That would be That would be wonderful. Yeah,
all of them. Everybody. Somebody asked about live shows and
(27:31):
like what would a live show look like, and we're
trying to figure that out right now. We have there
will be something and have something coming up. Yeah, we
have something coming up. It probably won't just be a
live version of what we do on the show. It'll
probably be something more more special and that you can
only get at the live show. Is the plan. Kind
of last podcast on the Left, I guess does that
(27:53):
where it's just it's not just them doing a live
episode of the podcast. It's more of a an event. Yeah,
because I feel like, at the same time, you hear
the show all the time, So to just go and
see us sit down in a set like a semicircle
and look at each other talking about ship would be
different than if, you know, we go out there with
the hacker Jamie Loftus and start just hacking people's phones
(28:14):
and doing all kinds of weird stuff like that. Yeah,
a lot of dancing, a lot of foot measure of dancing.
You and if you guys come to the show, you
will see all of our feet. Best and worst fast
food French fries. Uh, best for me McDonald's. Worst for
me is burger King. That's almost yeah. Oh m god,
something like that. I was gonna say, I was gonna
(28:35):
say that Definitely McDonald's fries. No matter where you go
in the world, they're consistent. I think McDonald's fries are
one of the best things we've accomplished as a people. Wow. Yeah,
that's amazing. Yeah. I think yeah, worst is burger King
because they're doing like the shitty version of Jack in
the Box. Friends, it's got that other weird crunch on
(28:55):
the outside. It's not. I'm really not. Here's a mess
Burger king. What's another good French fry that I like? Though? Too? Oh? Uh?
You know also like I like Raising Kanes the chicken
finger spot. Oh, I like their crinkle cut fries too
close are fine, They're not, there's nothing special. It could
just be because I loved the chicken fingers. But uh,
(29:16):
you know, Raising Caines, I always have a good time
eating that fried mess. What are some good books you
all have read recently? Uh? This is from Sexy Massage
and great great reddit, great reddit name, and they said
I read Incognito by David Eagleman and it was fantastic. Yes,
that is my favorite book to recommend to people, because
(29:40):
I don't hear it recommended that many places, and that
is hell to read change the way you think about stuff.
Some books that are good, God, there's so many. Uh
oh man, I remember Confessions of an Economic hit Man.
It is a great book by John Perkins. Just to
kind of get an idea of the other ways the
(30:01):
American government used its influence during the Cold War, not
using guns but using debt. I'm currently reading this book
called America The Farewell Tour by Chris Hedges, which has
a lot to do with sort of the decline of
the American Empire, uh and kind of looking at that
through the lens of just sort of social critiques and
(30:23):
history in a spiritual book. The book by Alan Watts.
It was something my dad gave me when I graduated
high school. Uh, that really kind of got me to
think a little bit more about my own existence a bit.
Sex at Dawn is a book I read for an
Old Cracked podcast by Christopher Ryan and Casilda Jetha. That
(30:47):
is really good. Tenth of December Stories by George Saunders,
really good short stories. Uh, Love that dude. Dark Money
by Jane Mayer is really good. The Evolution of Beauty,
which I've talked about before on the podcast by Richard Prum. Oh.
People ask a lot about Lost Connections because I talked
about it before by Johann Harri uh and it's pretty solid,
(31:13):
but it has some really interesting information in and about
just the mental health kind of infrastructure that we have
in this country. Our Towns by James Fellows Fallows and
Deborah Fallows is kind of a hopeful look at America,
which is in short supply, and yeah, I'm reading Winners
(31:34):
Take All right now. And the Goldfinch a novel, uh
is the novel that everybody has heard of and I
don't need to. Oh, Heroes of the Frontier by Dave
Eggers is another novel that is pretty good. Novels, just
I don't read novels. I just started with that Egger's book.
(31:54):
I just have this weird thing. I love nonfiction. Yeah,
but like you're not weird, know, it's just weird, Like
I don't know, like I wish I at times could
be more into like literature and things like that. And
I've you know, I read those kinds of books too,
but I don't nearly get the same just like satisfactions
like filling my head with information, as Howard Kramer calls them,
(32:14):
make them up, Yeah, you know, make um up. You know,
make them ups. Oh, here's a good one from Mr
jeff Ray. If you had all the time in the
world to do any hobby, what would it be. I
don't know. You have mine. Oh, I would love to
coach a football soccer team. I used to coach youth
soccer and that was like some of the most fun
(32:36):
I've ever had just you know, like there's something about
coaching that's really fun about like organizing a team and
having a like a vision tactically and seeing them do
that and then trying to figure out how to get
the most out of players. I did had, like I
coached like you twelve and like you eleven, you ten
girls like my friend's little sister's team, and we just
(32:56):
had a bunch of free time, like you want to
coach my sister's team, and we did, and we were
so good at But like, I think one of the
things I didn't realize that was really fun was about
like instilling sort of self belief and confidence in the
players and realizing that that can do so much for
like just someone's well being even off the field. That
there was something about that. You know, I'm a nurturer. Yeah, no,
(33:19):
you are, And you know that's that's actually a good answer,
because I used to be that dude before I had kids,
who was like, fucking kids, your kids are annoying and
don't show me their pictures. But now, like you know,
being around my kids, obviously they're the best. They're really smart.
Actually Ramsay's doing this, no, but just being around uh,
(33:42):
even other people's kids. Like it's a lot of fun
to hang out with kids and just like interact with them,
and you know, uh yeah, but like your hang around
kids all day. Well, like, well, somebody else asked what
we do for a living, and like, I think teaching
would be pretty dope. Yeah, I've always had that in
my back pocket. I studied history in college just because
(34:03):
I knew I was never going to have a job
that required a degree in a specific field, so I
always had I was a European history major just so
I could, like my one of my favorite teachers was
my ap American history teacher, and I was like, damn,
that was a dope class because he didn't pull punches
and like was really about having us understand history. And
(34:25):
that was Yeah. If I had to do a job,
if obviously I couldn't be the next Arson Venger two point, oh,
I would be the next Mr Woolery point or coaching
like youth basketball or something like that. Transient was the
one who asked if we didn't work on the pub,
what would be our ideal jobs? Uh? He also asked, also,
you guys got for the NBA Finals this year? Um,
(34:48):
Golden State and yeah, maybe it's going to be another
golden story I want. But in a fantasy world, no,
I'm even six baby. In a fantasy world, any fantasy world,
it would be Lakers sixers and this would that would
be good for the pod. Oh yeah, Sylvie would lose
(35:09):
her head. Yes, do you think we're producer Sophie Lichtman
is in the house? Uh? Super producer on a Jsnie
is an assignment, but sort of producer Sophie Lichtman. That's
that's an element that you guys don't get on the
pod because she doesn't usually sit in on the show.
But she is such a Kobe Stand that it is overwhelming.
(35:30):
It's Kobe Stand is not a country in the Middle East. No,
it's not. It is. She is obsessed with Kobe and
it's a significant it's the name of our WiFi network.
It's just Kobe Stand. Kobe Stand. Well, I'm sure if
you listen to Culture Kings they they yes. In case
you don't. In case you don't, that is, we don't
check in on that in the air. Oh. I like
(35:52):
this one. This is from h B h O at
both discussion. This is to bring up a discussion. How
do you both think that meme culture has affected calm
positives negatives. That's a good question. I think it's democratized
it in a way that's good in some cases, Like
I think more people are funnier, at least when it
comes to writing and like expressing them. So like y'all
(36:16):
are funny as fun like are are fans are really funny?
Then Twitter is a hilarious place to be. I think
it would be interesting, though, to begin trying to cultivate
people who are really great and meme type thinkers. There's
a lot of creative like you have to be very
intelligent and analytical to do like a really good on
the nose meme, And I think I don't know. I'm
(36:39):
sure those people probably maybe trying to pursue traditional careers
in comedy, but I feel like those people should definitely
benefit from contributing to comedy in some way that isn't
just getting a bunch of retweets. The downside to it
is you can create all these memes and stuff and
get you know, people like, oh my god, I know
that meme or whatever, but there's no way for that
to become a living And that would be interesting to
(37:00):
see how that can happen for sure. Yeah, all right,
we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back and super producers Sophie Lichtman said this
(37:23):
isn't on your little reddit thread, and she waved dismissively,
but then said, I want you guys to tell us
what your favorite television shows are. Someone did ask this
a underscore hand? Oh did ask favorite? That's sitcom? Favorite
sitcom of all time? Simpsons, camn that's not a sitcom
(37:43):
like if we're talking a traditional multicam show. Uh, Fresh,
Prince of bel Air, Yeah, it's probably one of my favorites. Seinfeld,
even Seinfeld so much. I don't like Jerry Seinfeld. I
love Kramer of characters, not like his politics. I love
(38:04):
his politics. He's got you know, he has some hot takes. Yeah,
I think Seinfeld and uh Fresh Prints, although I don't
watch Fresh like Fresh Prince doesn't nearly have the kind
of refront reruns it should be getting. Yeah. In terms
of favorite TV shows, the Simpsons are one of my
favorite shows ever. Beavis and butt Head is one of
my favorite shows ever. King of the Hill I even
(38:25):
like to being pretty wacky, uh in a little you know,
problematic at times, but it was the nineties, uh, and
we weren't quite onto everything. And and like HBO shows,
I'll say that Dan and Dale, Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire. Yeah.
It's like the questions almost like what are your favorite
TV shows that aren't the obvious ones like The Wire
(38:48):
and U because I love The Wire, um anything most
I know most people like The Wire, but I really,
I really like And you know, I would have voted
Obama for a third term, So there's that. I would say.
The other thing I like Insecure a lot, although I
haven't started the third in Atlanta. Yeah, and you know
(39:09):
I watched so much shit reality though too, Like are
you the one you empty an impressive amount? Yeah, that's
my finger comes up in our with our guest and
you got you will just talk with a lot of
knowledge on Yeah, well, fiance, I cannot talk about that
fucking dumpster fire of a show enough. The only thing
(39:31):
on our wall is a giant note from season two
of The Jersey Shore. And that is not a mistake.
That is that is all because shared I just would
taste in pop culture. We needed it, we needed it.
This same person actually has another question that's kind of interesting.
What is the most beautiful natural site you've seen? Wow,
(39:54):
the birth of my child ship? That ship is not natural?
Fucking uh no. Also that's not natural because you're I
was like in a bunny suit in the hospital. Most
natural beautiful, I guess in terms of earth and earth,
not a human emotional. I got one where I was
(40:15):
out on a fishing boat at like the crack of dawn,
right off of Cape Cod and there was like a
school of blue fish like running down a wave that
was like kind of keeping pace with the boat we
were in. It was pretty you're crying, Wow, it's just
looked at me. Man, It's just bluefish, blueish reference for you.
(40:40):
Let's see from everybody knows. I'll tell you that I've
missed Doctor Jay's like final like farewell game because Jaws
Too was on TV. My grandfather was coaching against Dr
j Like the whole family. The whole family was like
going like leaving the Jersey shore to like go down
to the game at Philly, and you stayed behind to
(41:02):
watch Jaws Too. I played sick because Jaws two was
on TV and I was obsessed with ja My I
was goodness, that is the kind of kid I was
I hope you heard that. Um, I hope you heard that,
doctor Jay. Hope you heard that, Doctor j Let's see,
I would say one of the most beautiful natural sites
I've seen was one time in Japan in the Japanese Alps,
(41:26):
there was just a sunrise that I saw that was breathtaking.
And also one of the other times, there's this place
in Guatemala called which is like this lake that yeah, okay,
well wait till you go sucker him. See it's surrounded
by volcanoes and I'm pretty sure the Mayans considered it
to be like the center of the universe. Uh, And
it is one of the most amazing places I've ever
(41:49):
been to and set my eyes on. I was just
laughing at Oh wow, that's worse. I know, my way worse,
my my mama. Um oh what about this one. This
is a this is a hot one. This is from
Unity America's Choppo or Pod Save America fight. You know
(42:09):
they're not really definitely yeah, they're definitely not comfarable. There's
definitely a a feud there on the on the Choppo side,
Like Chapo is just like fuck these guys. Choppo is
for the for the real heads Uh. I would say
I agree with the politics on Choppo more than Pods
of America. Pods of America for the insight, because these
(42:32):
people do have functional knowledge of the executive branch. But
it's weird. Something I've realized too. The more we do
the show, the less I've been able to listen to
politics podcasts just because I've not that like I'm not
getting anything from it. But like I guess in that
way too, is a way to maintain my sanity because
I don't also don't just intake political news that we
(42:55):
talk about. Yeah, yeah, that's why I like, you know,
I gotta get the Bodego Boys going, you know, I
gotta get sometimes improv for humans going for humans. Wow,
I just love dude. The UCB. Oh, that's another thing.
The UCB original show on Comedy Central was one of
my favorite shows when I was in junior high. Oh
the original yes, yes, yes, yes, I mean the Little
(43:17):
Donnie Foundation. Little Do The poostic is also so stupid
where he's like say, had the titular role in Star Wars. Guys,
if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sorry
for the upright citizens were gay before it was a
Improv Theater was a was a show on Comedy Center.
(43:39):
Well it wasn't improv Theater, and that that's how they've
got the show though. No, no, they named the improv
Theater after show got you. No, no, they probably they
were theater before anything. But it's a their first season
has first end. Second, I think, oh there's this is
a funny one too. I heard, you know on Culture
Kings they do would you rather? And this is one
(44:00):
that came up. This is when I think from that show,
this is it would you rather? Jack? And I'm sorry
if you guys have sensitive ears, please turn your ears away.
But this would you rather? Is so absurd? Would you
rather fuck a goat? And nobody would ever else? Shit?
Would you rather fuck a go to? Nobody would ever know?
Or not? Funck a goat and have everyone believe you did?
(44:23):
Now I reject to what the downside of sucking a
goat and nobody ever knowingly? You like playing around that
beast reality? I think it's abuse and uh no. This
is the reason I reject this premise because this is
really just a question of would you fuck a goat?
It's not would you rather? It's it's whether you value
(44:44):
your reputation more than your experience. Okay, well I don't.
I don't give a funk about my reputation or fucking
a goat, So I'm not sucking the goat and have
everyone believe I did. And anything you guys hear anyway
that comes out is bullshit. So just remember that it's lies.
But I know the truth. That's all I'm saying, right right, Yeah, no, Miles,
(45:08):
and he definitely wanted us to bring this one up
in particular if you don't use if like, the whole
reason for having this episode was to get around to
this question, and Miles has definitely you guys right, no,
is that good? That's fine? Okay? But I know the
truth I'm saying is I know the truth, and I
(45:28):
don't care what everybody else knows. As Donald Trump, we
know the truth and also truth is the truth. So
what are you gonna do now? Yeah? I think we're
doing good. Keep talking more about professional sports and players.
Come on, man, come on, Eric the Brown, Eric the Brown, Yeah,
who do you want to talk a terrible question? Well,
I mean I can, I mean we can. Do you
want to talk about I saw how like the questions
(45:51):
underneath that We're also like, I don't know anything about sports.
They talked about sports just enough, and then other like
unless you're talking about soccer football, like I don't know
what is going on. Yeah, yeah we could, but we
don't because it's not sports podcast. But obviously sports does
come into the zeitgeist and we cover it at that point.
But I don't know if people would want to hear
our sports talk all day Miles Indica, Sativa, Oh, all
(46:15):
three in because of Tiva hybrids. It's all about moods,
you know what I mean. If you're trying to do
some thinking, I like to do a little Sativa, And
you know, hybrids are good just when you're trying to
get equal parts clear headed and a little bit melty.
And if you just want to fall asleep watching ninety
day Fiance with half of fried chicken in your lap,
(46:36):
go all the way Indica. Yeah you ate half of
fried chicken recently. Yeah, And I love it. If it's
what you say it is. If it's what you say
is that it is, I love it. Especially in the
fall um Well Trump for Thursday's ever returned, Yes, once
he leaves off Trump freed Thursday. Oh have to bring
(46:59):
it back. Yeah, just for that drop. Damn Nick has
been just waiting. Oh yeah, doesn't know that. Someone asked,
what does superducer Nick stuff look like? Benia and Bazuna
said yes, that he looked like Ray Romanto. I mean,
if Ray Romano was in a band and not a
like a full on old dad look. Maybe, but I
(47:20):
think I think I think Nick has a season, his
own lane, a lot of the shady ones. Jack. Are
you contractually obligated to say that you worked at Cracked? Yeah?
You are, I am, It's in my contract. And thanks
for asking, Jack. How hard do you have to try
to sound excited and pumped? Did someone tell you you're
(47:41):
too monotonous at some point? Was it Miles? Did he
hurt you? Ah? Cool? I don't think did that hurt
you all the way? Don't do this on Don't do
this on Mike. Don't do this on Mike. Jack, No, man, Okay,
I'm sorry about that. Guys will edit that out. Don't
(48:03):
edit that out. Would you consider setting up cameras for
the show and charging five dollars a month for access
to the feed? I'd absolutely subscribe from tron Underscore Parker
British Cold Gas Study, Um no, were you reading his flair?
Are their flair? What is the flair? That's like the
(48:24):
little thing that is next to the user name? So
some people on the subway to have British cold gas
study people little zam smoking big old doings in amice.
There you go. Um, that might be the most beautiful
natural thing that I've ever seen is smoking and then
gang at the end. Wait, what was the question? Are
(48:46):
you just reading the flare? Now? They were asking would
we consider setting up cameras for the show and doing Uh, like, man,
we gotta buy camera and liquid shows. Okay, the Camp
show asked me that in particular, but I could tell
that that's what they're implying. Well, I think you know, gosh,
(49:09):
I don't know if people, if enough of you guys
paid for it. Shit, yeah, we can record every episode
with a camera crew. But maybe one day then they'd
see me pre shirt change. Oh yeah, and you will
see that I fart a lot during the show. It out.
You have to put a special gate on my microphone
that will keep the fart sounds out. If you guys
(49:31):

it during recording, don't do it. Yeah, well, I think
