(01:05):
monument and shout out to us the critic at Morning
Type one Twitter for that put wonderful Papa Roach inspired
a K. I prefer the acoustic Twitter, but you know
we are thrilled. I dare say to be joined in
our third seat by very talented writer, humorist and podcast

(01:26):
host whose work you've seen in the Los Angeles Times,
The Guardian, The New Yorker, New York Magazine If You're
very well read. He was the co host of the
Ringers wrestling podcast mass Man Show Uh and went on
to work with ww e's writing staff, which makes him
I think our most refined expert on the world of

(01:47):
pro wrestling, possibly of our illustrious roster of regular guests.
He currently co hosts the podcast Galaxy Brains along with
Jonah Red. Please welcome, the hilarious, the fashionable, the brilliant, chilling. Thanks,
that's a really cool intro. I always coment on the
intro when they come on this show, and this is

(02:07):
one of the best. Thank you, fellas. I feel like
it was very complimentary and it was good to be best.
We're just that it's just a mirror, baby. I didn't
think I could dress up more last week or last
time I was on here, last week, last time I
was on the show. Today, I'm just wearing my Arsenal shirt.
Pull it off of us. Somebody's fashionable, feeling real low

(02:30):
to fucking fools who ruined their life taking the shittiest
team possible. Are you guys? Is this a new coach
this season? I feel like I've we've had the same
coach for the same clown eighteen months. No good. It
seems like ever since you guys switched coaches that was
kind of as we And the problem was we had

(02:51):
a coach who was like watching over the team for
like twenty years consistency, and whenever you switched it out,
it's gonna be chaos because it's and also the cronky
that's the problems are bad. I look at this. I
was telling somebody, can you believe that you guys spend
someone's giving me ship? You spend all this money over
the summer, And I said, look, we're spending players that

(03:14):
are gonna fucking potentially give us good money, all a
good value if we transfer them and have a nice
solid young core to like maneuver with no matter who
the manager is. But more than that, the issue that
I see it's like bar rescue. It's not that the
players you know, or the bar to you know, the
bar rescue. It's not the staff's fault or the manager's fault.
Usually look at the owner. What's the owner fucking doing?

(03:36):
Because that's usually where the rot is coming from. And
when the cronky's it's all fucking coming from there. They
just don't give a fuck. Yeah, we didn't get there
as a manager. Yeah exactly. You know what will make
them work if you're stopped paying him wages because they're dogs?
Like did you see him on Laura Ingram Show, Dave No,
I didn't know he was one of those. He said, yeah,

(03:58):
with with unemployment benefits. He said, a hungry dog is obedient.
I'm talking about workers, game boy fundamental differences and how
we see human existence. I guess, yeah, exactly, you're a dog. Yep.
I value all people except for John Taffer. I guess

(04:18):
he's prick. But yeah, man, a bad owner is worse
than a bad anything because that just doesn't go away.
I think of like how long Raiders fans are hated.
Al Davis fans have been struggling for decades, and now
Makers fans have the best owner in sports, and that's

(04:38):
why we're consistently good. Yeah. And the years where we
were bad, we had her stupid brother in charge, right
Washington Football team yep? Yeah, the listening on and on, Yeah,
I'm sure like, yeah, the people that that's like what
people of the world unite to overthrow the owners of
their favorite teams. Yeah, a better way. Yeah, we should

(05:01):
own all of our our favorite sports teams. They should
be owned by the base. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, and they've
been consistently good for a long time. Yeah, who the guests.
If you just you know, empower the people who care
the most, things will happen that are good. Because I

(05:22):
guess it's either that model or the galacticos like Yankees model,
which is like, I'll make your rein on everybody and
we'll just buy up the best talent. That's how we'll
make it work. But that's yeah, realistic for most people
unless your cutter, right, Yes, exactly. All right, Dave, we're
going to get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, just to run down to some

(05:43):
of the things we're talking about today. We're gonna talk
about how the GOP is dealing with their January six commission.
We're gonna talk about Joe Rogan back at it again. Baby,
he's recovered from COVID and he's got some thoughts on
what cured him and it is not the f d
A approved proven treatment, And yeah, we'll leave it there.

(06:05):
We'll talk about what Donald Trump, the true President, is
going to be doing On nine eleven, we'll talk about
Andre three thousands, all that, plenty more. But first, Dave,
what is something from your search history? Well, I'm glad
you asked, because it's something we've talked about already off Mike,
and that is the war on TikTok over skinny jeans

(06:28):
at Google TikTok skinny jeans. Because I was researching an article,
column and writing for The l A Times about the
backlash against skinny jeans from Generation Z or Gen Z
or Zoomers or whatever you want to call them. I
was shocked to find how vociferous these people are about

(06:52):
skinny jeans being bad. Because skinny jeans for those who
grew up in the nineties two thousands, you know, the Millennials,
that those were the most important garments you could purchase.
But we were all wearing skinny jeans, and all of
our favorite celebrities were wearing really tight clothes for a
long time. And uh yeah, now people are like, no, man,

(07:15):
you gotta blow those pants out. Need I need space
to grow, I need to be able to billow when
I walk, And uh that's what That's why I wrote
this pieces because I really wanted to express my joy
as a millennial at being freed from the tyranny of
this bullshit of these incredibly snug pants that no one
actually fits into. No, And I was telling you before,

(07:38):
I was like, I could never even find a pair
of skinny jeans that could fit me because I'm just
I have, like are just massive eyes. I could I
couldn't wear them unless I would probably have needed like
a custom made pair of jeans that could have conformed
to my physiology to even have the look of a
skinny jean. And now, like, whenever I like, if I

(08:00):
have anything that's remotely like a skinny you know, I'm like, God,
it's just got gotta have a lot of elastic in it, exactly. Yeah,
you gotta just basically put a rubber band in that ship.
Let me go to down. Now. Pants are a little
a little looser, a little wider. Elastic waist bands are
way more popular. And for me personally, I have more

(08:20):
means than I ever have my entire life. I mean,
I better. I'm almost forty years old, for fox sake,
so I better be able to like buy stuff now.
And now I can go get stuff tailored. I can
go take a pair of Tom Ford tuxedo pants that
I bought from the real reel and get those tailored
to fit me properly. That is not something that I

(08:40):
could do When I was in college and every single
place you'd go to buy clothes, the pants are are
skin type. Right. Have you gotten a pair of jeans tailored?
Is that even a thing that's possible? No? No, I
mean you can. I've never done it before because I'm
not a jean guy. I remember was so hyped on
getting these like black Supreme jeans like fifty years ago,

(09:01):
and the only ones I could yet were like two
sides is too big. So I had to take them
to a tailor to adjust them to fit me because
I was like, I was like fucking maybe I took
an l but like buying a gene like jeans I
couldn't fit into. But you know, for forty bucks, they
did it. They did it right. Always buy bigger, never smaller,
because at least you know in your twenties you can

(09:24):
expect you're gonna get bigger. I guess now you can
think no matter what, you can expect, you're gonna get bigger,
You're gonna fill out, You're gonna exercise last you're gonna
eat more, you're gonna be constantly full of stress, you're
not sleeping well. So if you buy a pair of
Supreme Jenes today and you're if you're in your twenties
or early thirties, just hold on, let it ride. Those

(09:45):
are gonna be harry. Those classic when you had enough
to fit into them. I have a pair of I'm
sitting on that I haven't tailored from fucking ten years ago.
There you go, dude, that's that's basically found money. That's
like fill in your pocket now. I just want to
I just want to clarify, like, there's nothing wrong with,
you know, being a bigger person. I'm certainly a bigger

(10:07):
person than I have been in the past. And I
always encourage people to dress comfortably and to feel comfortable
and to feel good about themselves and their bodies. Don't
try to conform to some bullshit stereotype. That's what I
hate about skinny jeans is that they forced people into
clothes that didn't fit them, that made them feel bad

(10:28):
about themselves, and it's gotta go. The only thing I
liked about skinny jeans is that it made it easier
to like kind of show off the shoe that you're wearing.
It was like, yeah, you could show off the pipe it.
You know, you guys talking about the Reuters arrived road over?

(10:52):
What is uh? What something you think is overrated? I
always have a hard time with this when I come
on this show, But this is the one week one
episode I've been on where I like really prepared and
the thing I find the most over radio right now
is a letter writing. There are all kinds of people
who are like, oh, you know, it'd be cool is
to write my my sister a letter, or my my

(11:14):
mom and dad letters. Like I'm gonna sit down with
a piece of paper in a bandon, I'm gonna write
a letter. Like why you're just gonna cramp your hand,
your poor hand, he's gonna cramp up. You're wasting paper.
You have to then get a stamp, and then you
have to go to the post office, or you have
to go to the whatever, like the mailbox in your
building or your house. It's just too much work for what.

(11:36):
Someone's gonna crumple it up and throw it the fucking trash.
Who saves letters? Nobody saves letters except for characters and
Jane Austin novels like get out of Here with this
letter right, people in like love after lock Up, and
I have all the letters he sent me from the inside. Yeah.
He who saves letters or saved letters suck at Charles Manson,

(12:00):
there's Scott Peterson. Shall I continue? Who does? Who? Is it?
For me? Because I try and look at it practically.
The reason I don't write letters is because I have
much quicker ways to communicate with people, And I guess,
I don't see. I'm not too attached to like I
guess the whimsical or the you know, the value that

(12:21):
makes letter writing sort of attractive, But I don't know. Also,
like I just I write big block letters and I'll
fill up a page in like three sentences. Oh yeah,
my handwriting is fucking poor. But my mother has beautiful handwriting,
and she'll like sent her letters with like perfew someone
I'm like Bob, who gives a fuck? Just an email

(12:42):
type it, text me, just don't call me because they
don't have time to talk. Don't verbally speak to me,
whatever you could do. Efficient conversation is more important than
good conversation. In my opinion, what's going to be our
letter writing? Because I can see why your mother would
say email she loves it because my same Like I
look at my my parents, my grandmother she had fucking

(13:06):
beautiful handwriting, like in a way that I was like,
I get it. This is like graffiti for you know
people at home, like they're like, let me throw up
this beautiful letter. But I'm trying to think of what
our dated sort of mode of communication that will insist
on the people like we're off that well, we're all
meeting in the metaverse. Ho. I mean, I think there's

(13:27):
like a classiness, vinier to letter writing that like still
persists with some young people like that it's like artisanal emails,
that's email, thank you note. But yeah, there is something
about getting a nice handwritten note, you know, after the fact,
as a gesture I see the value, and maybe it's

(13:50):
like as a gesture of something like, oh wow, look
at that. That's handwriting. That's a little more hard. Go
to Hallmark and get me a car, go Papyrus if
that's will exists, give me a greeting card, thanks, signed whoever. Miles, Like,
I don't need you to write a fucking tone about
how great my wedding was. Just get out of here,

(14:11):
do you feel pressured to then return. It is that pets.
Of course, you have essentially given me extra work. Yeah,
by doing the work yourself, you have forced me to
give you the labor that you have so graciously bestowed
upon me. No, thank you. If I don't do it,
then I'm the bad guy. And in a sense it's

(14:33):
able is m because I do not have the ability
to write. My handwriting fucking sucks on my hand. It
it's like out of it. So it's like they're wagging
in my face their ability to write beautifully, and it's
just they don't understand what what it would be like
if I tried to write them back. It would be

(14:55):
an ordeal for both of us. I think our version
of it, our generation's version of this sort of artisan
little horseshit is a o ll instant messenger. You know,
it's all yeah, it's already dead, but we're like, I'll
remember when you come home from school and you just
like talk all night with like your crush and you send,
you know, little emojis that weren't actually emojis because you

(15:18):
had to use like a colon and parentheses to make
a smiley face. Remember that it sucked. It was not
that great. It was it was fine. It was a
motive communication. That's it. I don't see anything like cool
about it. Oh sho are you playing the sound? I
was like what, Oh my god, Wow, I am about

(15:39):
to pop out of my trousers so exciting. I know
you hit enough, smarter child and saying hey when what
what time? Is a Mortal Kombat plane at the AMC
North six? Yeah? Where are we? Where are we riding
to tonight? Boys? Or just like flirting with a girl
all night and having like a really intense conversation that

(16:00):
absolutely nothing. Oh boy, I think he really likes me.
Oh I wonder what it's gonna be, Like it's cool tomorrow,
which is so, which I guess makes sense why Like
on like app dating is so it has like kind
of similar energy, but most people don't have the same
passion for it like we did a I am because
a lot of people like it's just like I'm dating
over text. I'm like that is pretty much the only

(16:21):
way I was communicating with a certain point. Yeah, we
weren't allowed to have phones in our rooms, and we
had cell phones, but like they weren't we we didn't
have um, you know, iPhones at the time, so it
was just like, well, we's get on AIM and we'll
figure it out. Get on NAIM and just have very
lewd conversations over text in someone's family room. Yeah, the

(16:44):
computer station killed lord. Yeah. The computer was just like
riddled with viruses and all kinds of horrible things were
being said. Kind of like now, I guess ye, just
like a test run for the Internet pretty much. What
is something you think is under R and B legend
British R and B legend. Craig David, m M. Have

(17:06):
you guys listened to the song seven Days recently? Yeah?
Slaps man, It's so good, that's all I'm gonna say.
I love Craig David that song in particular. I guess
this is kind of the opposite of what I said
was overrated, because this is nostalgia for me. I think
about like middle school dances, in high school dances and
this song playing. M If you haven't ever heard this song,

(17:26):
because you're incredibly young and you don't remember this was
This was a radio hit, This was on MTV all
the time. Craig David had hair that looked like it
was painted on, because that was the style back then.
It's like black men with hair that looked fake and
really really well groomed facial hair. Yeah, that kind of
like Lithario sort of vibe those edge ups, you know,

(17:49):
like John b had one to like, oh his beardline.
And when I look at Craig David, now I'm like,
you look like Lloyd Banks mixed with Matt Barnes. But
you know, like, yeah, but he had swag in the day.
He had swag his album. It was off his solo album,
solo debut album, Born to Do It. That's right. I

(18:10):
love that. Times of that title tell me everything I
need to know in the title of this album, what
were you born to do with my friend? That's right?
I mean film me in as another, you know, as
another j Craig David banger. There was one getting Caught
when I was really into that show. People just do
nothing Like they were doing this thing on the BBC

(18:30):
where they would do like these garage takeovers on BBC
Extra and they would have all these like garage mcs
coming out and like spitting, and they had Craig David
come out and he sunk, he sang film, he started rapping,
and he actually was kind of nice with it, and
then he started singing film me in over the Justin
Bieber or like where are you now? Beat and like

(18:51):
he kind of did a remix and I was like, oh, ship,
this ship goes okay, Craig David. Yeah, he's still a
superstar in the UK. Yeah, he hasn't fallen off at all,
but here he's just been kind of lost to time
sadly mm hmm. And can you fill me in? Is
does not appear to be a song about getting pegged
or asking to get pegged. Every song is actually about

(19:14):
that peep down. I mean, if you really look at
the lyrics, I mean, you know, can you fill me in?
Come on? And he starts with what you want? What
you want me to do? Yeah? Can you come? Yeah?
He was he was born to do it. Look, it's
all there. Come on, you need a map to figure
out what the funk he's talking about. Okay. I was
taking this girl next door when it passed, she posted,

(19:36):
Hey boy, come on right around. Do you know what
I mean for Peggy? Come ready to around the corner?
You know? Yeah, you got the blind ready dressed in
a long black satin and lace to the floor. So
I went in. Then we sat down, started kissing Caress
and told me about Jacuzzi. Sounded interesting, so we jumped
right in. I mean into what exactly we'll look into it. Listen,

(20:01):
it's no laughing matter. Pegging is a is a cool thing.
It's no laughing matter. And yet I'm laughing. I'm sorry
with continuation from that, Dell Curry, we were talking about
already for being out here. They need to make that
threaten to a movie. Enough with the stuff makes that

(20:24):
into a movie. Yeah, what this man went through? You
know what I mean? Oh already, Yeah, like a rom com.
We'll get Jordan during that. I mean, crab leg was
ice coffee, tem percent bap. It's a very vivid somebody

(20:45):
I keep saying, somebody needs to hired that guys. Somebody
has hired that guy or whoever wrote that, right, those
brilliant Alright, let's take a quick break. We'll come right back,
and we're back. And yeah, So the Republicans are, you know,

(21:11):
taking the January six, you know investigation that they're doing
their separate one about as seriously as you would expect
them to. But they were not too long ago talking
about how they were they were here to uh find justice,
bring bring justice. Duke Kevin McCarthy pulled up. He said,

(21:31):
I don't need the Bipartisan Commission, even though that would
have given us a lot more room to funk around
and you know, alter the course of the investigation. We
don't need it because we will do our own. We'll
do our own. Well, it looks like they aren't doing
anything at all because it's been a long time and
we haven't seen anything meaningful in regards to any kind

(21:55):
of investigation, aside from the fact that they seem to
be like, we gotta know what happened with the Capital Police.
Why were they so ill prepared? And I think that
was just because they knew that was a way they
could eventually put like Nancy Pelosi into focus. So I
just this couple of things that there are a lot
of people on the hiller, things like, look, the whole
thing is, none of these people want to fucking engage

(22:15):
in a real investigation because all growths are going to
lead back to them or Trump. It's not gonna end
up being Antifa and the fucking you know, ghosts of
you know, murdered black men who you know, took over
people's bodies to take over the capital. Yeah, right, because
a bunch of dudes of the hooks for hands are

(22:35):
like fuck America, right, And like they said, one anonymous
Republican aid said, quote, none of us want this to
be a priority. I don't think there's any member that
wants to serve on this committee who said that this
is a Republican aid you know who's just off the record.
They're like, this is just it's radioactive. It's like one

(22:57):
of these things that Repolicans have to do where they
have to have the appearance like they aren't just here
for the absolute like just deterioration of the country and
be like, yeah, we got to look into that, but
we can't because it's all it's all theater. It's all
a way to deflect, to delegitimize the actual investigation, the
actual hearings, to say, well we didn't participate, Well what

(23:19):
do you do instead? Oh? Nothing, But it was it's
a sham anyway, Like they don't there's nothing that they
can get out of this, as you said, like it's
even if they were to try to do something and
like bring out experts who were on their side, it
would eventually bite them the ass. So they're just gonna
run out the clock and hope that they win the

(23:40):
Senate back. Well, I think they're actually so it seems
like their strategy is going to be too like dig
in at least some of them are digging in and
being like the people who got arrested, our political prisoners,
so just like basically doing doing the most like them
because performed they say. You know, in this article in

(24:02):
the Daily Beast are talking about how the especially the
political prisoner angle, is a good talking point for someone
running for office because it doesn't necessarily you know it,
it helps make them look like they're still on their side,
and even if maybe they didn't vote to overturn the election,
By calling those people political prisoners, it's sort of like
realigns them to be like, no, like I get it.

(24:24):
You know, maybe I wasn't doing the things that you
were demanding of me, but I will, I will. We
will miscategorize them as political prisoners so show you I
understand the oppression that's happening. Yeah, it's I mean, it's
it's all designed to shore up their base going into
the midterms and in an attempt to win back the House,
which would then kill these investigations. M that is of course,

(24:49):
something we don't want to happen, and you have to
hope that turnout is the way that it needs to
be for these elections to swing the right way, because
there's certainly are not gonna do anything to come back
to voter suppression aside and being like, hey man, I
guess activists just gotta work harder. Huh. Yeah, that's the escalation.

(25:11):
It's been an escalation and it will continue, like they
will pass laws and then the other side will say,
all right, here's here's the loopholes around these laws, and
here's how we're going to make sure that we can
bypass these things. But that's it's a war of attrition
because it's just going to continue happening, you know, and
then people are going to feel disenfranchised and things are
going to get ugly. Yeah, I mean what happens when

(25:34):
people were truly just are like all of this, like
at some point in helping supporting these people, these clowns
who are moving out of snails pace for just the
theater of it all. Yeah, to where of attrition where
the Democrats are not doing the things they need to
do to like they're they're not fighting back, they're just
kind of letting them make these changes and then well,

(25:57):
I mean, I want to give a lot of credit
to the Texas Democrats in their state legislature doing what
they could. Eventually it was going to pass, but they
were able to forestall it as long as they could,
and they drew a lot of attention to the issue.
That's the best they could have done. The thing that
is really problematic is that we can't get any sort

(26:17):
of voter right legislation passed Congress. Yeah, because the most
that happens, all this attentions brought and then all we
hear is Chuck Schumer be like, yeah, we really got
to figure out the filipbuster. Huh yeah, well what are
we gonna do? Uh text uh Schumer to two seven
and pledge to pay ten dollars so that we can

(26:38):
fix the filipbuster. That's all. It's all just campaign finance.
It's just how do we get more money out of
these people? How do we dupe these rubes into paying
us more money? That's all it is. And they don't
care if anything changes. They just want your money. Yeah. Well,

(26:58):
it's just easy fundraising, know what I mean, Because then
you don't have to go on the road to actually
do a lot of fundraising, or maybe the lobbyists aren't
packaging your funds well enough for you. You know, then
just do send a couple of emails, get move on
on the case. Every fucking email I get is this
is the end of the world, Dave, this is it world.
Can I count on you to stand up for democracy?

(27:21):
I'm sorry, am I the fucking president? I'm sorry, am
I the funk? Am I the majority leader in the Senate?
Five dollars is gonna do? What? Where is that five
dollars gonna go? Huh? Want my only what is gonna
be for? Send me that clip of Chuck Schumer acting
like Tony Soprano, acting like get out there and cracks
some fucking skulls to get these bill, this bill a

(27:42):
buster reform pass, because that's not the energy they have
at all. It's just it's just like he's just sort
of like, hey, you better not, don't don't do that,
don't do that, and it's like okay, but they don't
give a fuck. And then and then you have people
in the Senate like Diane Feinstein who are very clearly
incognitive declined, and people have said like, yeah, she's pretty like,
I don't know, she has a hard time remembering stuff,

(28:04):
and we're all just like, Okay, that's fine. So the
governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is being recalled and might
be replaced before she dies, would she will sooner than later.
I think I've talked about this on this show before,
but the greatest problem with our society is that people

(28:24):
refuse to retire. And I'm talking about rich people, not
not normal people. Normal people are like, yeah, I'm gonna
go to Cancun, I'm gonna I'm gonna mow my lawn
every morning, drinking iced tea, watch Jeopardy, and even if
you even can retire, exactly if you can, if you're
if you're able to financially. But these motherfuckers are just like,

(28:47):
I refuse to quit doing my very high paying, powerful job.
If it's you know, a Supreme Court justice, it's if
it's a senator, if it's it's the Speaker of the House.
None of these people have any inst and stepping aside
for the good of the country none because it's not
their first priority. And Republicans are taking advantage of that.

(29:08):
All of those old bastards have stepped aside, or if
you're Mitch McConnell, like you've just throw up your hands
and say, well, I mean this is this is the party.
I support the party, this is what I do. And
then all of these ghoules, these very young googles like
Madison Cawthorne, I'm hopping up out of nowhere, Matt Gates,

(29:29):
Marjorie Taylor Green, all of these younger people who are
amassing power, amassing political influence, and amassing support. Every single day,
they're on Fox News all the time. They're constantly being
puffed up by the establishment of the Republican Party. And
the Democrats are like, Ayoc, I simply don't agree with

(29:53):
her because she's a socialist or elon Omar is a Muslim,
and so we need her to back Israel and denounce
the PLO or something. You know. The leaves said the
F word. I mean, please everyone, let's not consider them.
And like there's there's a lot of energy there with
a lot of these younger people coming in, because I

(30:14):
didn't see anyone except for Corey Bush really make a
fucking stink about the eviction moratory amending. And she had
to really, you know, to do what she knew how
to do as an organizer and activist and just said,
fucking I'm gonna sleep on the steps if they don't
we understand what's at stake here because everyone knows the
REALIZI to go on break and yeah we Then I

(30:36):
think the media doesn't do a good job of, you know,
giving these younger politicians the kind of airtime and exposure
that they could because you can see it on Fox.
They'll they'll put all of these younger folks on TV
and what they don't they don't care. As long as
you're a good SoundBite, they'll put you on TV. But
MSNBC is propaganda for various parts, and we don't have

(31:00):
to talk about that. But you know, other platforms are
not engaging with these people. They're not putting these people
front center, they're not putting their issues front and center.
But if Matt Gates says something ludicrous about you know,
America being under attack from Antifa, that's that's front page news.

(31:23):
That's that's news. You know, it trends on Twitter. All
of these things that are incredibly unhelpful, but helped him
to get his message out and to launder his image
when he is under investigation, and yet he is still
in in office, he is still treated as a legitimate politician.

(31:43):
I can't speak to why the media is so fascinated
by young Republicans and this idea of you know, the
outrageous things that they say, but they are and they
are so concerned with, you know, kind of like entrarianism
when it comes to any sort of liberal idea, any

(32:04):
sort of real liberal idea, because it takes, because it
takes the position that they're sort of like, this liberal
neoliberal ideology that they subscribe to is the default truth,
and there's nothing beyond that that could possibly improve it.
So they're not interested in anything that would augment policies
or makes things more inclusive. So they're more interested in

(32:27):
just defending the position. And the best fodder for that
is someone on the right saying something ignorant, and that's
the airtime. Because it's surely not going to be someone
who comes on with a very good plan for bail
reform or a really good plan for how we can
like you know, create more equitable housing that might actually
threaten the status quo. It's easier to just get in

(32:50):
your you know, outraged by the guys like he compared
apartheid to this vaccine. Man, Oh my god, let's we
have we have we have to be shocked by it
and have to be disgusted by it, but we can't
do anything about it. And that was the defining trade
of the Trump presidency was, here's this horrible thing that happened.
Can you believe it? Isn't that sad? Moving on? Alright,

(33:13):
So what's going on on TV right now? Who's winning
Dancing with the Stars or some shit? And and the
January six Commission is a good example of something not
being sexy and not being exciting to talk about. It
is depressing to talk about. It is ugly, and it

(33:33):
is it is unpleasant, and it is a physical manifestation
of a lot of very unpleasant truths about American society
and how close we are too chaos. Yeah, but the
Republicans turn it into a like sexy talking point for
their base with you know, talking about political prisoners. The

(33:56):
Democrats are not doing that work. It doesn't seem well,
you can't make it positive, you can't make it. Oh,
we need to, you know, support our political prisoners, like
you can make Ashley Babbitt a star in death or
a martyr because she's not here. She can't go on
Meet the Press, she can't go on Fox News. She
can just be someone who died. And it's that sad.

(34:18):
It's playing on sympathy. There are no sympathetic figures on
the other side to make this feel good because guess
what the sympathetic figures are the police and we don't
like them, Nancy, and Nancy blows yeah, like we're not
gonna feel bad, Like, yes, it is horrible what happened

(34:38):
to these people, these police officers who were just doing
their best, some of them, at least, we're doing their best.
But it is difficult for people to wrap their minds
around the kind of like sticky patriotism that would be
required to make this a bigger story, right, It's never
going to tug at my heart strings. It's it is

(35:00):
a tragedy. It's sort of like thinking about the Hindenburg disaster,
like I feel terrible that had happened, but I'm not
going to be I guess I'm not moved by it
because yeah, it's really it's a really going to be
like that like some ship from that like s album
cover baller as beer roll for something, TikTok. Yeah, I'm

(35:22):
I'm I'm never going to be moved. And that's not
because it is not a sad story, but because I'm
talking about me as a general person, like the general
you like, you are never going to be moved by
this because there isn't like a figure for you to
to latch onto to feel sympathy for. It's like a
movie or a TV show. You have to have a
character who is your protagonist, that is your entry point

(35:46):
to the story. There's no there's nobody for the left
in this story. So it's just like a horrible thing
that most establishment democrats want to forget. Right, all right,
let's move on to uh, you know, from the rulers
of politics to the ruler of the podcast landscape, the

(36:06):
man himself, Joe Rogan defeated COVID by putting it in
an armbar and going to the mat with it. He
pegged and grappling, then he pegged it no. So not surprisingly,
you know, he through everything at it, all the most
expensive treatments that money can buy at his case of

(36:30):
COVID got better. Like most rich people who are able
to treat their COVID aggressively tend to and now he's
back claiming that the thing that got him better surprise
prizes is the unproven kind of conspiracy theory treatment that
he took, among many other proven treatments. Yeah, this is

(36:52):
a couple of things to point out of his like return,
and just how many fucking mental pretzels this guy put
himself into just speaking, he was like, yo, first he
was saying, how COVID is nothing, you know, and like
it's it's all good or whatever, but it yet you
needed to take regeneral, Like yet you were out of
place where you realized you had to actually take real

(37:13):
medications and really you needed medical treatment. But you're not
saying you're gonna lean on that. He said COVID was
nothing for a you know, young, able bodied person, seemingly
implying like including himself in that before he got it,
and then once he got it, he was all about
throwing every single treatment at it, like it was the
very serious disease that it actually is. Right, and you say,

(37:36):
you took iver mactin and is all I really helped,
But you also took monoclonal antibodies like regeneron, and you're saying,
but you're not really Pointing to that, he said, the
media doesn't talk about how I took iver mactin and
now I'm better, But he's also not saying himself that
you actually took an FDA authorized treatment in regenderan or

(37:57):
these monoclonal antibodies, and that may also have been the
reason you were doing better. And then he goes on
to say, Oh, they don't trust the whole vaccine scheme
because big pharma. You know what they're trying to do.
You just trying to get rich Man, trying to get
you to take these vaccines so they can make more money.
Yet the maker of iver mactin is fucking murk. So

(38:19):
which big pharmaceutical company are you? Like, I don't even
understand what he's talking about. The he's talking about the
farm animal division of Mark, so it's very different. That's
more of a scrappy upstart than the human being division
of exactly. So that storyline is the thing that he
has like clung onto because it is like, I didn't

(38:39):
realize that iver mecton is both like used for horses
and farm animals, but it's also used for people, not
for COVID but for like an anti parasitic Yeah, an
anti parasitic. So he's like, people talk about it being
a horse to warmer, but the reason people talk about
it being a horse to warmer, by the way, is

(39:00):
that people are actually taking their horses the horse version.
So that's a paste. There's a problem. But he so
he's like used that as kind of a misdirect to
be like, and you know, they're they're calling a horse
to warmer even though like I took one that is
like those prescribed by my doctor, which very well he

(39:22):
may have. He's he has access to doctors that nine
percent of the American population does not have access to.
But then he says, he claimed that the reason iver
Mechten is not being approved is to force vaccines on people.
Like that's the like, that's he said, you know, there's

(39:44):
a lot of speculation, what so you know, you know
when he starts off with there's a lot of speculation, it's, uh,
it's the trouble equivalent of a lot of people are
saying no, they're not, they're not. One of the speculations
involves the emergency use authorization for the vaccines. That in
order for there to be an emergency use authorization, there

(40:06):
has to be no treatment for a disease that's not true,
but just complete. This is where he's you know, that's
that's his that's his worldview. He's gonna have to reinforce
it all the time and use whatever loose, spurious claims
that he can to to back it up. Because the
big thing, especially with the iver mectin thing he talked about,

(40:27):
was like, oh, they were in Japan, the government said, uh,
they should use it to treat COVID. Not fucking true.
It's just there was the chairman of the Tokyo Medical
Association cautiously, like I guess supported the treatment, but the
association themselves nor the government was just like, no, we're
not authorizing that. This is what this one guy said
out loud at a thing, and that turned into this

(40:50):
whole social media claim that yes, in Japan they're using
it to treat COVID, and know, yeah, well, I mean,
at the end of the day, it really is just
virtue signaling for a different kind of virtue, and that
virtue is contrarianism. And Joe Rogan became very rich and
very famous by being a contrarian and saying the opposite

(41:12):
of what he's supposed to say, and that's what Spotify
paid millions and millions of dollars for is for him
to say, ah nah, that's bullshit. And here's why I
read this thing on this in the study on this website,
that it's just a bunch of letters drawn together dot
com and apparently all the ship you read about eating
healthy is bullshit and you can see whatever you want,
or you should just inject steroids in your cock and

(41:35):
then you'll get really big and awesome. Like that's all
it is. It's just, it's just idiocracy on a microphone.
It is just it is. It is a hair away
from info Wars. It is a palatable, more mainstream version
of info Wars. And if you listen to this stuff,

(41:58):
you are being given false information, You are being manipulated,
and you are being built. In the same way that
he is saying that the pharmaceutical industry is bilking people
through the vaccine, he is saying, listen to my show,
subscribed to Spotify. By this merchandise, he's stealing from you, folks.
He's stealing from you every single day by giving you

(42:20):
horseship that you want to hear. That's it. He just
he knows you want to you want to be told
that the vaccines are are are bad, they don't work,
that you can just you know, take some pills that
you get from a shady website, or you know, the
worst case scenario, because you can't get the pills because
there's a run on iver mectin and a shortage for

(42:40):
people who actually need it, you can go out and
you can get the paste from fucking Capella's or something.
That is what it's all about. And you're being you're
being taken advantage of. Yeah, well he laughed his ass off.
It's million dollar mansion. Yeah, all of these people telling
you not to take the vaccine are rich enough to
not take the vaccine if they don't want to, or

(43:01):
they taken completely different reality are they taking and they
don't tell you it's not your business? Right? Yeah? Well,
I mean this is just that, Uh, he's not gonna stop.
People aren't going to stop listening and settle hit. Well
they did, because yeah, there, it's not free to listen
to anymore. It's it's it's really hard to get someone

(43:22):
who is listening to everything on one platform to switch.
And so all of these exclusive to Spotify podcasts are
seeing a drastic reduction in their listenership. Now that's not
to say that people don't end up going onto YouTube
and listening to the show, because I think they're they're
pretty on YouTube. Yeah, and they can, you know, monetize

(43:45):
it pretty easily on YouTube if they have to. So
they're still they're doing just fine. There's no problem there. Uh.
And that's the Internet, man, it's free for all that
you can get your stupid message out anywhere you want. Yeah,
just keep gaining and gaining and gaining. I mean that's
what we've seen, like whether it be Facebook or Donald

(44:06):
Trump or you know, and you will keep gaining momentum
until something stops you. Yeah, you know, until you are
the richest human who has ever existed, in Jeff Bezos
this case. All right, let's take a quick break and
we will be right back. And we're back, and look,

(44:37):
I don't know what your president is doing to mark
the anniversary of No. Eleven, but my president is talking
talking fights. Baby, he's doing commentary on a fight between
fifty eight year old of Ander Holyfield and I don't

(44:58):
know viter Alford yeah or Belford. Yeah, I'm not familiar
with his dude, Donald Trump. One night, sick Gas commentary
with Don Jr. At the Seminal Hard Rock on the
twentieth anniversary of nine eleven. It's just this one, fucking
I just love the way it's being built. Fight. The

(45:19):
digital streaming service carrying the Saturday pay per view event,
announced that the former president, along with his eldest son,
will quote offer their perspective throughout the night, including during
the headlining fight between a Vander and Vitor. I okay, sure,
I mean that's this is my bigger thing, more than
like with all these factors. You got Trump, you got

(45:41):
Vander Holyfield, and you know a fight. Is this going
to do Paul Brothers race war pay per view levels
of revenue? I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah,
And that's got to hurt for Donald. The Paul Brothers
are the biggest heels in America, to use a wrestling term.
People want to see them lose. Yeah, And they have

(46:02):
booked this, They've they've scripted all of this to perfection,
because every time you think this is the one, this
motherfucker's going down. He's fighting Tyron Woodley. Oh he's finished.
And of course you know he withheld his fighting the
last couple of Yeah, it just goes to a decision
and then he wins because they're gonna wait and wait

(46:24):
and wait and wait and wait and wait and draw
it out for as long as they can before they
finally have him lose. Do you think now, because a
lot of people suspect obviously, like when he fought Mayweather,
They're like, dude, Mayweather could have fucking absolutely just like
he was knocked out at a certain point, you know
what I mean, and like he held him up and

(46:44):
then with Woodley there like he got him a few
good times and then looked like he just sort of
ceased fighting like towards in the in the later rounds,
And so a lot of people like these are all
they're all just being they're all just getting the check
to lose whatever. Yeah, exactly that will there be someone
who stealthily says, yeah, yeah, I'm down for that and
just knocks the ship out of him in the ring

(47:04):
and he's like I went off scripts sorry, sorry, Yeah,
there's a lot of money at stake. There's a lot
of contracts that I'm sure are you get sued. It's
like you weren't supposed to knock him out. I think
it would actually end up being better, like as a

(47:26):
as a wrestling mind, as a person who wrote for
professional wrest like understands wrestling pretty well. If you if
you did a thing where you're just like, all right,
So Mike Tyson, I just want you to, you know,
go into it like we had planned, like we talked
about with Logan, but in like the fourth or fifth round,

(47:49):
just let let loose. Just take him down, don't kill him,
but knock him up a little bit, put him on
his ass, have him be knocked out, because then the
rematt is even bigger because you can say, oh, he
went off script, I wasn't ready. Yes it was fake,
but this time is real. And then you've wiped out

(48:10):
all of the naysayers, all of the people saying this
is fake because it's wrestling is all about the illusion
of reality. How do you suspend disbelief in the audience
every single week once they've figured out it's fake or
not fake, but you know it's predetermined outcomes because those
people hurt, hurt each other, they hit each other real

(48:31):
for real. Once you've done that, you have to keep
up the illusion so that people buy into it. They
spend money, They say, I wanna you know, buy the
pay per view. I want to buy the merchandise. I'm
emotionally invested in this thing because it's It's not like
watching a movie where you are transported to another place,
where you are in a movie theater and it's dark

(48:52):
and you can just focus on the story being told,
or even a TV show where you binge it and
you just kind of get lost in it. This is
the scripted fighting where oftentimes things happen that defy the
laws of physics or boxing. Now, like, if you are
telling me the tyrone Woodley couldn't knock out Logan Paul,

(49:12):
was it Logan or Jake? It was Logan? Right, If
you're telling me that you're lying to me, it was Jake.
They're all the same to me. Like the twins from
the Matrix reloaded like some fucking goopy, pale ghost. They
should do that as a tag team match the guys
from the Matrix against the Paul brothers. And they both
have dreadlocks, so it's hard to figure out who's who.

(49:35):
Who's more problematic, way more problematic? Yeah, we don't. We
don't talk enough about the cultural appropriation in the Matrix sequel,
do we? I the only one seeing this, I'm kidding
um anyway, yeah, like this is this is a perfect
way my my plan to get people back on board
because I can see the steady loss of interest, Like, okay,

(49:58):
this is another one where you pull the wool over
my eyes. Once you've made it clear that your ship
is not real, people are going to start tuning out.
So think about it. Then they need to get knocked out.
He's gonna have to get knocked out and they're gonna
have to be like, look, it's real. And then maybe
the rematch and then he win, he knocks out Mike,

(50:19):
and then you do the blowoff, you do the third fight,
you get the trilogy. It's a it's a rubber match.
That is where the real money is is in the
rubber match. To details of this that are intriguing to me.
One that he's doing this commentary the Donald Trump Fight

(50:40):
Night commentary. One is that he's doing it with Donald
Trump Jr. Who he like plainly despises, and like I
feel like over the course of just like a long
like conversation where you're just kind of riffing that that
will be evident. And also he is really bad at
talking about nine eleve them like her. Like he on

(51:02):
like just hours after the towers fell, he like bragged
about how one of his buildings was now the tallest
in downtown Manhattan. That is why you put it behind
a paywall. But only the people dumb enough to order
this pay per view will see it. But man, I
kind of want to watch it because don't do it.
Do not support this. This is the worst thing in

(51:23):
the entire world. You're paying their legal bills by buying this.
And I'm sure that's why Donald doju Donald Jr. Is
involved with this too, because we see his sniffling ass
on cameo, like he's probably looking for anything to be
like all right, fucky dad, you want it's it's in Florida,
we barely have to go anywhere, and you just say

(51:43):
a couple of things about how Holy Fields a great
champion and then uh say that the election was stolen
and then donate and then we'll be good. He went
to an m M A fight and like they didn't
show him, and I think he was like piste off
about that. Like Dana White had to like come out
and be like sorry, like we meant to show him,
but like there's a camera misq so for some reason,

(52:04):
he really wants to be seen as like a fight present. Well,
I mean he he had he had a run where
he was doing ship like that. I feel like back
in the day, like in the eighties or something. So
he oh, yeah, he would be at WrestleMania every year.
The WrestleMania four and five both took place adjacent to
Trump Plaza in Atlantic City. He loves that spotlight. So

(52:25):
he's getting back to his roots and that's good for him.
I do wonder he's going to a crowded indoor facility
in Florida, in Florida where mask wearing will not be mandated,
vaccines will not be mandated. Do you think that this
motherfucker shows up wearing a mask? So one thing that

(52:49):
I like, I actually think they probably won't even be
there because there's a there is a trend of Yeah,
there is a trend of commented, like a Monday Football
is adding a commentary track, like a place where you
can go and watch commentary from Eli and Peyton Manning.
But they're just like doing it from their garage, their

(53:10):
respective garages. Yeah, but you know, but you know, he's
not afraid of a fucking superstruar you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
he's been having him every couple of months since he
left office. I guess in person commentary. Oh, they did
say that, like that. The marketing material is full live

(53:30):
in person commentary. Yes, I mean what if, yeah, he
shows up one with a mask and they all get
pissed at him for wearing a mask, pictures are taken
of him with a mask and people get mad, or
or what if he gets it again? I mean, he's vaccinated,

(53:53):
so he's probably gonna be are right, not necessarily if
there's a bunch of video positive people who are positive
for COVID not wearing masks, lots of people, not lots
of people. I don't want to spread misinformation, but people
are getting break through cases if they are around lots
of unvaccinated positive uh COVID carriers. I'm not trying to

(54:18):
wish it upon the man. I would never do such
a thing. That would be wrong. What if it Here's
just a lot of speculations. People are specula People are
saying that if Donald Trump were to show up to
this event in Florida, the chances are good that he
could get COVID again. Yeah, he is an elderly man.

(54:40):
I mean, that's where Joe Rogan got it right, fucking
around Florida, and that is what I heard. That's what
I heard. There's a lot of speculations. People keep saying
these things on television over here in stories, and it's
concerning to me. Okay, don't don't you feel like you're
w old it's falling apart. Sometimes I feel like I

(55:03):
don't have a partner. Sometimes I feel like my only
friend is the city. I live in, the City of Angels.
Sorry by that, of course me in the United States
of America only song slaps. But let's talk Andre three
thousand real quick. We kind of touched on it yesterday,

(55:24):
but just to get into the specifics of the controversy.
Over the weekend, Drake leaked an unreleased track from Donda
featuring Andre three thousand, and it was like a It
was a track on which Kanye like, this is Drake
and but Andre Andre's verse does not this Drake, and

(55:45):
He's come out to say like he doesn't give a
shit about any of this bullshit. It's that track life
Life of the Party. And I guess it was only
played at a very specific private event, which is like
the only iteration or the only place where this version
was heard. But there's a The Andre verse is about

(56:06):
mother's you know Yet the album version comes out and
it's just a dis track, and he says he comes.
This is his sort of quote on it about the
how the whole thing went down, he said. A few
weeks ago, Kanye reached out about making me up there,
having me be a part of the Donda album. I
was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute
to his mom. It felt appropriate to me to support

(56:27):
the Donda concept by referencing my own mother, who passed away.
We both shared that loss. I thought it was a
beautiful choice to make a clean album, but unfortunately I
didn't know that was the plan before I wrote and
recorded my verse. It was clear to me that an edited,
quote clean format of the Verse would not work without
having the raw original also available, So sadly I had

(56:50):
to be omitted from the original album release. The track
I received and wrote two didn't have the disc Verse
on it, and we were hoping to make a more
focused offering for the Donna album. But I guess things
happened like they're supposed to. It's unfortunate that I was
released this way and two artists that I love, going
back and forth. Uh, and then he said, I love Drake,
I love I want to work with Kendrick, I want
to work with jay Z Tyler, blah blah blah. But yeah,

(57:14):
that sounds like a very Kanye thing to do. This
is gonna happen more often where he brings people into
his process. He says, I'm gonna do this thing. It's
be great, and he's got those crazy eyes, like his
eyes are huge, and he's like, I'm gonna do this thing,
will be awesome, and then he changes his mind two
weeks later and he's like, I gotta go to the

(57:34):
Mercedes Benz Superdome or not the Superdome, but I gotta
go to to Mercedes been Stadium and I gotta live
inside of the tunnel and I've got to just like
come up with a new idea because the thing I
did before sucked. And it's like, Okay, you're gonna burn
a bunch of material, You're gonna burn a bunch of talent,
like a thousand who's gonna be piste off. He's gonna

(57:57):
be uh, you know, diplomatic about it, like he was
in his statement, But do you think he's happy that
this song was associated with him shifting on Drake? No,
of course not. That's not good for him, it's not
good for anybody. But there's like probably seventy versions of
Donda this floating around. We're gonna hear all of them
one day when he dies, because they're gonna be like, oh,

(58:20):
here's the new Hollow Hollow Cube edition of Donda, featuring
all the songs that were rejected from the album. Yeah,
I prefer version number twenty nine because it's it's got
that part. I really love that. I can't get enough.

(58:42):
The other thing is like, you're if the album is
meant to honor your mother, why are you wasting your
breath trying to come at this other rapper because it's
not about honoring his mother or any or even his
own mother, you know what I mean, Like even for Donda,
you know, it's just like a whole thing. I'm just confused,
like the intent. But again, this was not a focused album,
So I don't know why. I'm like being like, what

(59:04):
is going on over there? Not a focused mind making
the album. That first track does say her name like times,
so that is kind of confusion. I'm sorry, Yeah, it's
there's also like, no, not that many, if any women
featured on the album. What a surprise, didn't he try

(59:26):
to get Trump to show up to one of these
events that he did. Oh yeah, that's who he was
trying to marry in that marriage. Yeah, that's a shame.
I mean instead of getting Trump, he got Maryland Manson.
Yeah right, yeah, honor your mother with Marylyn man What

(59:47):
is this guy gotta do? What does this guy gotta
do for people to be like now I've had it?
He makes the music that people are mostly frustrated by.
He does all of these these stunts that are designed
not just to transgress, but to actively upset people. Yeah,

(01:00:07):
things that are offensive to people, like the big yeasy stands,
though they're all like you know, pre yea and all
that other stuff, like it was always the battle crowds, Like,
I can excuse everything that he does because his message
is about believing in yourself. No, it's about believing in
Kanye West. No, right, but I'm saying, but that's how

(01:00:28):
the the supporters like who are like the most you know,
die hard defenders have to sort of repurpose whatever they
believe the messages to say like, I'm here because I'm
here for the uplifting pep talks in the form of
his lyrics. Yeah, he's also Jakes, but he's a rapper.
Huhd Jake's who sells eighty dollar gilded t shirts with Balinciaga. Yeah. Yeah,

(01:00:52):
And hey, dude, he could buy a weird bulletproof vest
with his mom's name on it. Cool. It just bums
me out because I see all, you know, action writers
fonding over it, and I see music journalists fawning over it,
and I see cultural critics taking it seriously like, oh,
he built a version of his house in the stadium,

(01:01:13):
What does that mean? Oh Kim and him are to
pretending to get married again. Oh boy, what is that?
It's all narcissism, and it's all designed to take money
from you, Like this is the same thing as Joe Rogan.
It is just provocation for the sake of it. It's
contrarianism for the sake of it, and it's designed to
part your money from your pocket. Yeah that's man. We've

(01:01:37):
been saying from very early on at this show that
it seems like narcissist, like having the narcissistic personality disorder
is the cheap code to modern America, because it is
your success. If I have any shame, any empathy, any
respect I mean for other human beings, I'm fucked. I'm
not going to succeed. That's why no one knows what

(01:01:59):
it means. But it's provocative, Yes, exactly, let me ponder this,
I think before no one that's what it means. But
it's provocative, and that's been the guiding principle. Yeah, I
blame Will Ferrell. Well, Dave as always such a pleasure
having you. Where can people find you and follow you?

(01:02:22):
I am at Dave underscore shilling on Twitter. You can

(01:02:42):
Have a listen. We had cumel Gianni on a couple
of weeks ago to talk about Idiocracy. It was a
really great episode. We've got friend of the Daily Site
Guys Jamie Loftus on very soon to talk about Why
the Last Man, the f X TV show that's coming
out very soon, so get into that. I think it's

(01:03:03):
this is the best run of episodes we've ever done. Also,
I have a monthly column in the l a Times
Style section that you should check out. As I said earlier,
I wrote about skinny jeans and why they are being
phased out of our culture. Before that, before that, Dad
Hats I was talking about Dad Hats. Yeah, this was
this was really serious for Miles to read about his

(01:03:26):
his culture and his beliefs and his religion. Uh in
print for once invalidate. That's my job. I'm here to
validate everybody, especially And is there a tweet or some
of the work of social media you've been enjoying. Okay,
so this is a tweet that isn't necessarily funny, but
it brought a little tear to my eye. Bob Odenkirk

(01:03:48):
tweeted a photo of himself being made up to look
like Saul Goodman yet again. He said, back to work
on better call Saul. So happy to be here living
this specific life, surrounded by such good people. By the way,
this makeup is is makeup pro Sherry Monte Santo making
me not ugly for shooting. I just was really glad
that he's back at it. Yeah, a lot of people

(01:04:09):
were really worried about him, and uh, yeah, he means
a lot to a lot of people. And so I'm
glad that he's back out and making stuff and hopefully
taking care of himself. Yeah, he's like quietly just had
having one of the great careers of like our generation,
not yet that he's like our same age, but like

(01:04:30):
of our generation of like pop culture that we grew
up on somehow without being every horrible narcissist, right, how
he pulls that off. He doesn't have it, doesn't have
narcisistic personality disorder, and he's still successful. So let that
be a lesson to you kids. You don't have to
be like Kanye West or Donald Trump. You can be
like Bob Odenkirk or me a great white guy. Yeah, exactly. Miles,

(01:04:57):
Where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying?
Find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray
and also the other podcast for twenty Day Fiance. Let's
see quick shout out to over the weekend. I miss
some Zeke Gang at a social gathering Steve and Maddie,
thank you so much for complimenting me in public. I

(01:05:17):
felt very validated. I don't hear about this. I know you.
I'm like, come on now, shove a gun into your ribs.
That sounds over this way. She's like, yeah, you're about
to be a footnote history motherfucker' um. But anyway, shout
out to you all. Really great talking to you, and

(01:05:37):
I want to say some tweets that I like. First
one is from Branna Ce Titley at Branta Titley tweeting,
wow okay on following now was a big fan of
her housemaid of Sweets, was not aware she used it
to lord children into her oven to cook and eat them.
I love that structure of outreach tweet um. Another one

(01:05:58):
is from Bond at Gresham two x. He tweeted, I
broke down at my great grandma funeral at the podium
when I found out nobody got her red velvet cake recipe.
That ship hit me in my heart because, let me
tell you, as somebody who has like family recipes, I
did everything I could to document, especially my grandfather's barbecue

(01:06:19):
sauce recipe. And I'm telling you, if you have things
like this in your family, do what you have to
do to preserve these things and I know it can
be frustrating when like older people like no, I just
put a little bit of this and a little bit
of that. You're like, I don't you have to put
down number values. They just take them on your iPhone
so you can watch or if they do it, like okay,
give me that thing and then you can weigh it
and say that's the amount. But please preserve your family history,

(01:06:43):
especially the recipes, because even if that was a joke,
I felt that one. And the last one is from
Miles Clee at Miles Clee said, Steve Martin saw the
opportunity for Upper West Side Boomer Zoomer Murder comedy streaming
deal left open by Woody Allen's forced retirement, and he
seized it. You just got and Joe bitch. I don't
know if I like that, Joe, but we'll talk about

(01:07:04):
that another time. Yeah, I have not watched it yet.
A couple of tweets. I've been enjoying. Chase at Not
Chase Lions tweeted my dentist said I grinded my sleep. Damn.
He's real for that. No days off by days off
And Schwitz at schwitz A tweeted the Fugitive but every

(01:07:26):

where we link off to the information that we talked
about in today's episode, as well as a song that
we think you might enjoy. Miles, what song do we
think people might enjoy today? This is a track by
El Michael's Affair. They're one of my favorite instrumental bands,
and I've gone out on a few of their tracks,

(01:08:08):
you know famously. You might know them from their you
know full bla like instrumental band treatments of Wu Tang tracks,
But this one is one of their new singles. It's
called Masterclass, and I really like it because it has
like this David axel Rod kind of like it feels
like something that would be sampled by like Mob Deep
or DJ Premier, but it's just they do a really
great job of like replicating vintage sounds and things like that.

(01:08:31):
So it's an easy listen and it's a little head mader.
So take this one masterclass by El Michael's fair. Damn,
I thought David axel Rod was Obama. There's many David
axel Rods with the true got David axel Rods, the
jazz musician and American composer all Well. The Daily Zake
