Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season forty eight, episode
two of The Daily Night Guys for Tuesday, September eleven,
two thou eight team. My name is Jack O'Brien, a K.
Jack O'Brien eleven, and I'm thrilled to be joined as
always buy my co host, Mr Miles Gray. I'm turning
black and knees. I think I'm turning black and knees.
I really think so. Oh, I had to just do that.

(00:21):
Shout out to the home girl Daniel O Socca from
the U S ovel. We'll get into that later, but yes,
that a ka was from the circu at Cirque Underscore,
the who said they just signed up for Twitter just
to do that. Also, shout out to the Zeke gang
that pulled up at the Farmers Market. Scared the ship
out of me, but it was really wonderful experience, and
you were the first people to ever recognize me for
the show outside and it was so validated from my ego.

(00:43):
Her Majesty didn't hear the end of it all day,
and they bowed down to her Majesty right. Yeah, she
was like, how do you think they recognize you? I'm like, well,
I don't know. Maybe you're wearing a zike gang teacher.
Thanks to me, you kind of put it all together. Yeah,
you gotta travel. And then I was like old on, No,
I hope I don't looks like some type of dude.
I was like, yea, your god, dam I'm getting shirt

(01:03):
on when we go out or something like that. Better
than the time I was sighted with. I was like, guy,
shirt on myself, all right? Yeah, well too much too much?
Well or never too much too much? Wait? What who
is oh? Six times champion of the world? Is this

(01:27):
your six times? Six times? To have four our sixth time?
The hilarious performer and writer and podcast host of the
all time great podcast Culture Kang Please welcome Jockey's Nil
Niil the world. Make it a better place for you

(01:48):
and for me and the entire human race. Oh. I
think I used his A k A last time and
I'm using it again, Mr kell It there you coming
through because that was the only one I could find
in time. That was good. That was great. He's saying
it was definitely didn't sing it last time. Yeah, I
I sang another one up him. Oh I sang the

(02:10):
Neil love. Yes, yes, yes he's coming through with the song.
Coming through with the song, it was like one of
those Lauren Hill performances where it's like a different interpretation
of the song. The notes aren't necessarily the same, and
that we do not slay the writers writers exactly. I
don't have to pay Michael Jackson for the thing. That

(02:31):
thing all right, Jackie, get to know you a little
bit better in a moment. But first we're gonna tell
our listeners all that we're going to be talking about today.
We're going to talk about the fact that there's a
hurricane bearing down on the East coast. That's really all
that we have on that. We're gonna talk about the
fact that less Moon Bess has resigned, uh fact John

(02:52):
legends e gotting. We're gonna talk about September eleven. We're
going to talk about two women of color being robbed
at the US Open this weekend. We're gonna talk about
the second US Open scandal, the woman dipping her chicken
fingers and coke, and ask the question, are there other
don't tell anyone about this type food things that anyone

(03:16):
on Mike does. We're gonna ask you about that Zike gang,
and we're just gonna check in with how that Nike
Colin Kaepernick sponsorship is working out for them, because I
mean I assumed, based on all the you know, social
media campaigns and the media coverage, that it was gone
to hell for them and they were all regretting and
being fired. We're gonna check and see how that's going.

(03:38):
But first, Jackies, we wanted to ask you, what is
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are.
I think it's time to finally admit that I am
a hypercontract Oh. I routinely google ship, Like when I
have an ailment, I routinely google Ship and then by
the end of the night just be like I got cancer.

(04:01):
Oh yeah, I got cancer. Just to just yeah, yesterday
or two days ago, I should say I played baseball
and I pitched five minutes and ninety five degree weather.
Uh it was exhausted. I usually got uh my pitch
cant I have not pitched more than two innings before.

(04:22):
But I started the game because we were short our
starter pitch. Right, You're like the Mariano Rivera. They have
you on a strict pitch counted like a hundred pitches
plus pitchers. Yesterday and nine degree I had to lay
down after I pitched and between between batters. Yet later

(04:43):
it's time. I can't believe David David what's his name
never did this well, David Wells. Yet oh you know
he wanted that. Man, I got the perfect game drunk
drunk stuff like from the night before, like on that

(05:04):
border between hungover and drunk. That's amazing. Doc Ellis pitched
that no hitter. He hit like people nobody got hit
because everyone didn't even know he had to be at
the game. Right. He woke up, He slept through a
whole day, woke up. The first thing he did was
take acid. The second thing he did was pick up

(05:26):
the newspaper and see that it was the following day.
Then he thought it was it was the day that
he was supposed to be pitching. And then he had
to like drive from Los Angeles down to San Diego.
Kinds of things that we need to celebrate more. Yeah,
you know, David Wilson a hungover asked no hitter, l
s D no hitter. Those are true mind over matter
moments like I was sick over the weekend and I

(05:48):
couldn't do shit. Yeah, I mean, and I can't even
like my hat goes off to these brave men and women.
I need to know what these do you think they're
They're like female athletes who are out there getting fucked up,
or they probably don't take it as for ran it
as men do, because like men have been able to
do sports is just like yeah, whatever, I think there's
a reason. And Jackies as a picture. You can correct

(06:08):
me on this, but I think there's a reason that
pitching is in particular the thing where people like get
funked up and do it, because I think so much
of it is mental at that point when they're like
you know, lights out pictures and the thing that sucks
up a no hitter, Like the reason that nobody talks
to somebody who has a no hitter going is because
they don't want to like funk with their head. But

(06:29):
when you're actually drunk and all you're focused on is
like getting the ball over the place, or like you know,
not passing out, or if you're on LSD and just
like really worried about keeping your ship together, or you know,
the batter is a lizard and you're worried about him
coming out of the mound or whatever, you're you're not
gonna be worried about the fact that, oh, yeah, I

(06:51):
guess I did. Yeah, your mechanics are not the first
thing on your mind, right, because that's all it is
for me. When I'm pitching, I have to actively go
through the checklist before I throw. Every pitch should be
like make sure my mechanics are right, and if I don't,
then this is a terrible pitch and hit people. He

(07:11):
reminds me like at in Woodstock, Santana took acid before
he went on, and if you watch the performance, especially
for the song's soul sacrifice, he's off his face on
acid and a lot of his due to be the
fact that most concerts the schedule is not on time.
So he's like, you're gonna go on at five or
whatever his set time was, and he's like, man, it's
gonna be three hours after that. So he took acid
and it was on time and he did. They're like, yo,

(07:33):
you're on, and he was like, oh ship. And he
says that when he was playing, he thought his guitar
was a snake and the only way to keep it
from like attacking him was to hit the right note
at the right time. So when you see him playing it,
he's making his face like he's like but it's like
an amazing performance. So yeah, So the moral of this story,

(07:53):
if you have a presentation, you know, just fry up
seific drugs, don't very specific, don't do her I'm sorry,
we digress. But typically then take an injury and you say, yeah, yesterday,
I play it out to the worst degree. Yeah. I
yesterday for about a solid hour, I thought I had
heat stroke because of the Internet, because because I was like,

(08:16):
I can't stand right. And I got home and get
in my kitchen and was like, I'm about to pass out,
and I got on internet looked at that he strokes.
I was like, oh, I got he stroke. I'm about
to die. But you know, I I laid down and
watched you know. Yeah that was good. That was good. Yeah.
That's definitely something that I feel like as a kid

(08:37):
when I would like play a lot of sports out
in like hundred degree weather in the Midwest, just like
humid too. You can like feel the air hitting your body.
I feel like I definitely probably had like some you know,
like everything. It's probably a spectrum, right, Yeah, you have
of heat stroke, but just not the full blown up

(08:58):
just heat exhaustion. Yeah, Yeah. Anyways, man, we're glad. We're
glad you didn't made it here to tell us what
something is that is overrated. Joy and believing in something. Okay,
let me tell you what I mean in your heat. Yeah,

(09:18):
Sunday night, first Bears game. I've watched it in a
full year because I protested last year. This year, I'm like,
I'll watch some Bears games. Khalil mac interception, fumble, recovery, touchdown,
defense is killing it. We knocked Aaron Rodgers out of
the game first half. He was the person to do

(09:40):
that in the history of football. Yes, he did it
for the Raiders. Like before, it was an insane performance
in the first half. Yeah, I was so happy. I
was like, man, this is good. I was happy. I
was like, oh, I believe in the Bears this year.
This is football, this is football, this is football's And

(10:04):
then I stopped watching in the third quarter because I
had to go coach, and I was like, we got this.
We're up twenty three. We're good, and check at and
see the Bears lost at twenty three, and I was
just like, Yo, believing in ship and being happy is
the most overrated thing. And because that ship could be
taken from you, so goddamn quick, the very least, I think, Yeah,

(10:28):
it's sports is tough. This reason goes out the window.
Oh my god, it's all It's all hope and expectation.
And you know that Buddhas says, you know, attachment is
the rout of suffering that or you know whatever. I
didn't was that has his fake quotes on it. But yeah,

(10:49):
I was yeah, guys, listen, so you're still watching the NFL. Huh.
It was the first game I watched and a year
and a half, right, well, what do you watch the
Super Bowl? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that was the first game
when I remember we were all there like, yeah, yeah,
it was. It was an interesting moment. I watched the
Bears game yesterday. I struggle with it and I made
the decision like that day to watch the Bears, and

(11:14):
I was like, you know, look, it is what it is.
It is what it is. A lover it is. This
is a cruel lover. Guys. I'm sleep now, I'm not
work anymore. Okay, I'm not work anymore. I apologize. It
was the most sure thing. Also, like because Aaron Rodgers
had been carted off, yeah, leg injury man, and he
just came back on one leg and then just had

(11:37):
Jordan flew game him and then Chris connins were dumbass
gonna say, man, even Bears fans have to be disappointed
with that and all Bears. And I was like, Nica, please, man,
we hate word he can I would. I hope he's
injured for the season. Have you seen those interviews when
he was young, when he was like a rookie and

(11:58):
wild Chris Collinsworth, These say, no, what what kind of ship?
Like about the women that are tracked? It was, I'll
have to dig it out. He had a few like
Lothario s your quarterback in the seventies. I don't expect
much from a man from coming up in that era.
Wasn't your receiver? No? No, he was. Yeah, he was
a quarterback. He's old man. Yeah, like HD has not

(12:22):
done him favors. Yeah, can you take it Chris Collinsworth, Yes, oh, no,
he was. He was a wide receiver. Yeah. Well you
know why, that's my race, that's my racism. Wide receiver

(12:42):
Lynn Swan was a wide receiver. Chris Collinsworth cornerback. What
is underrated other than Chris Collinsworth athleticism? Uh? Starting your
day with lemon water. I have been on a little
bit of a health take over the past a few weeks,

(13:02):
and whenever I get on a health kick, I always
start my day with half of squeezed lemon into some water,
and that's how I start my day. That's the first
thing I drank. And I ran out of lemons and
have been too lazy for the past two days to
go get some and immediately started feeling sick. Is that way?
You're just drinking that dry country time powder? Yeah, he do.

(13:24):
I'm just eating the country Time And I have looked
this up. You can go look it up to It
has a lot of health. But if it's like a
kickstars metabolism for the day so you don't eat as much,
or like you can lose a few extra pounds throughout
the day, it helps you with just feeling better. And
I was like, and I'm doing it. I think it's cool.

(13:46):
And the minute I stopped, you think that is a
placebo effect because it's probably my hypochondriac. Nos. Sure, I'm
sure there are benefits though too. I feel like I
see just as many people trying to talk about like
lemon water to write it's a but yeah, what if
it helps you. It's like you're gonna eating lemon water,

(14:07):
drinking lemon water. It's bad for you. Yeah, it's not.
It can't be bad for you. The only benefits they
can have for you are pro except you're supposed to
drink it with the straw because they can like mess
your teeth up, like yeah, yeah, yeah, and you're supposed
to drink it with a straw into a tracheotomy or
doesn't that get on your teeth anyway? Yeah? Just mainline

(14:30):
it just put it right now in your throats, cook
it up on his phone. Uh. And finally, what is
a myth? What's something people think it's true that you
know to be false that Chris Consin's a quarterback? Uh receiver,
He's a he's a quarterback, damnit. Uh. Here's a myth?

(14:50):
I think. I think that it is crazy to expect
employees of just like regular jobs, for instance, to have
to put in two weeks notice to quit or they're
considered a bad employee. But a company can fire you
immediately with no notice. That's an insane That's that's insane

(15:12):
if I should have to put in two weeks notice
to quit a job or else I'm considered leaving this
job on bad terms. You should have to give me
two weeks notice before you lay me off or you
fire me, or well, unless I did something like egregiously wrong.
But I'm more talking about laying you off because they'll
do that immediately. And it's so crazy to me that
we're starting to see a trend here, right the rights

(15:35):
of the corporation. Now, let's not get crazy, and I'm
not I'm not here to say like giving a courtesy
so they can find another employee or blah blah blah
is a bad thing. I just think it's crazy that
is put on the worker or the employee to be

(15:56):
that diligent when the employer does not have to be. Yeah,
I think clearly the damage would be far greater to
the employee being let go, that their life would be
altered in a way that is much more jarring than
a company losing an employee. Yeah, if it's like a
small I've seen it happen on production where someone will
fucking bail on like a writer's room in the middle
of the season to join another writer's room. That's shitty.

(16:18):
That's shitty. That's what I said, Like, just kind of
regular job is regularly, but anything else like yeah, if
you work at Target or whatever. But you know, if
you've ever been somewhere where there's layoffs happening, you can
kind of feel that ship comes. You can kind you're like, yeah, yeah,
where they're like, oh, they're not buying milk anymore. The

(16:43):
same time, I've never seen a HR department that was like, yeah,
we're gonna let you go, but you can go back
to your desk now and uh, you know, hang out
for the rest of the day. They treat it like
you stole something. They're like, yeah, we're gonna escort you out,
and we immediately at your email out and then we yeah,
like they do not funk around with that. I got

(17:04):
KGB the funk out of power one oh six, did you?
And I left there. They were so fucking petty because
like I was just like I found another gig. I
was like, Yo, this ain't it anymore. I'm like, I'm
letting you know in two weeks I'll be leaving the
next day security guards, I'm like, what the funk am
I going to do? Yeah? You know what I mean,
I don't I have one thing here that's mine. This
this is your computer. You can throw all the ship

(17:25):
on my desk. I don't care. But it was like
it was the humiliation of it too, where I was like,
well let me God damn, I thought it was even
in two weeks, I still want to say by to
my cohort. No, you have to go now, we have to.
I'm like, for what And I just I said, well,
then drag me out here, because I'm gonna go to
every office. But it's a odd Yeah, it's odd. So
the myth is, yeah, if you got to leave somewhere

(17:45):
and you gotta leave like the next day, do your thing, man. Yeah,
sadly though you don't can fuck up your relationships with
places that you like if an operation is small enough
where they'll be like, yo, actually you leaving like that
really kind of sucked everybody else over. And in those
cases I see it. But at the very least, how
about just some decency for the people that are doing
the work for to Yeah, you should have to be

(18:08):
able to brace yourself for that loss of income at
better like in a humane way, because there are too
many man losing your job out the blue is it's terrible, man,
it yourself steam up to it does that's the big thing,
because you get laid off at every job after that.
Like I remember I was laid off once and I
was like, sh I'm getting laid off every right. So yeah, anyway,

(18:31):
that's my myth. Guys. All right, Well, an uprising in
the workforce to do it. Let's do it? Uh two
weeks alright, Just a couple brief stories to check in with.
We had mentioned that there hasn't been a major hurricane
to hit the continental United States in this hurricane season

(18:54):
so far, but Florence now has both strengthened to Category four,
which one of the strongest that I think it only
goes up to five, and it is kind of headed
directly for the East coast, so people are predicting it
might be the most powerful storm too in decades to
hit the Carolinas or the mid coast region. So that's

(19:17):
scary and we'll see talking about that as it develops.
That's so crazy too. Last year I went to disney
World and had to postpone my trip for a week
before the hurricane season because of other things. And it
worked out because if I would have went the week
we were supposed to, we would have got affected by
Hurricane Irma, which actually closed down Disney World, like it's

(19:38):
shut it down for like two or three days. So
you missed a tragedy. I missed amazing tragedy of not
being able to go to disney World. The shirt on
is that Disney World last year? It is so crazy
how the East Coast is affected by those hurricanes almost
every season around the same time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
really really crazy. That's why the West Coast is the best.

(19:59):
Go wait till the earthquake, till we die. Yeah, yeah,
I think I don't know, man, would you big ones?
That big one was gonna suck because I can't escape
it growing up here and also being in Japan a
lot as a kid, I was shaking all the time
and I was just like, yo, it's either north Ridge
or whatever that whatever is going on in Tokyo. Like
there's always a little earthquakes going on. There's something about

(20:21):
an earthquake though, you feel so helpless. And I'm sure
in a storm you do too, if you if you
have to just weather a storm. But yeah, man, like
when you just get surprised with some real shaking, well
then Midwest, guys, Midwest is the best. The biggest earthquakes
in the history of the United States were early eighteen
hundreds called the Madrid Fault or something, and it was

(20:44):
in the middle of the country and they were so
powerful they sent like tidal waves up the Mississippi and
they caused the Mississippi to like flow. Yeah, they changed
the direction of the Mississippi River for period and liquefied
an entire town in Misseri. So just just you know,
you're you're not safe anywhere. Is my point. Balloons inside

(21:10):
of a stadium, a dome's stadium a perfectly safe mode
of transport, like hot air balloons, perfectly predictable. Less Moon
Best has resigned. Took him long enough? Yeah, it did well.
It looked like after the New Yorker dropped another piece
where there were six more allegations against him, with even
more egregious and awful crimes, from like forced oral sex

(21:34):
to just other violent behavior. I think that finally made
the situation a CBS untenable for him. It doesn't seem
like they're that many cases where it's like, yeah, he
did a couple of times, but you know, like it
seemed like the board was like, well, you know, even
though like he was ruining women's careers because they didn't
sleep with him. They were just like trying to you know,

(21:55):
equivoc hate enough to keep him in charge. And it
was us like, yo, if now that this is out here,
there are tons of other people who this happened to
with this specific dude, And I wonder if it was like,
you know, their idea that that first story just to
see if CBS and less moon Vez would do the
right thing, which they didn't, and then all the shareholders

(22:16):
are like, hey, you're sucking up our money. Stock prices
are going down because of less moon Vez, and then
it still didn't even seem Then I remember the last
things like there were negotiating his departure whatever, And then
I wonder if they had they knew that they had
more stories and just to mount the pressure or escalate
the pressure even more, put this piece out because like
they still weren't acting quick enough. But either way, I mean,

(22:37):
he's out, and I don't think his like hundred million
dollar severance package. I don't think he's gonna get any
of that, depending on how this independent investigation goes. But
now CBS they're trying to, you know, look woke and
be like we're giving twenty million to organizations that work
with the Me Too movement, which is good, but twenty million,
why don't you give if he was gonna make a
hundred million, it's good. Yeah, this is not That's not

(23:01):
a lot of money for CBS. One of the weirder
details of this whole story is that he was apparently
hell bent on destroying Janet Jackson's career after the Super
Bowl wardrobe malfunction, which apparently Justin Timberlake came and like
because it happened on CBS, right, So Justin Timberlake came

(23:22):
and begged for his forgiveness and Janet Jackson did not.
But I'm sure there's also like, given this dude's just
completely toxic relationship to women and you know sex, I'm
sure there was also just some form of toxic misogyny
going on there, and he just decided that, you know,

(23:42):
her career was going to be fucked. And how crazy,
how crazy is it too think that you have enough
power to end Janet Jackson's career, Like, this is a Jackson,
this is Janet jack It is so amazing to me
that I'm glad this narrative is changing that because we're

(24:04):
seeing all these shitty people throughout the entire entertainment industry
that actors and musicians were the worst people in entertainment,
and we're starting to see that people the worst people
are just people like because here's this dude, and granted, yeah,
being the lead of CBS fantastic, beautiful, but nobody knows
who the funk you are in the grand scheme of

(24:26):
things as supposed to Janet Jackson, and to think like
I'm powerful enough to end the career of this legend,
that that that should tell you everything you need to
know about this dude and how he treats women and
people just in general right there. Well, yeah, and also
someone with that amount of influence too, because after it happened,

(24:47):
he was basically like I don't care, you know, because Viacom,
who owns CBS and MTV, they're like blacklisted from any
of the properties, Like you don't have wrong your fucking
radio shows like Simon and Schuster. When she had a
book deal, Moonves like rang up them, was like what
did I tell you? Like, how do the fund? Did
she have a deal and said heads were going to

(25:07):
roll because she got a book deal. So I mean
he definitely, I mean almost definitely had some impact on
her career. Oh yeah, I mean look at fucking I
mean justin Timberlake, they made the entire narrative. Now, I
don't know how much CBS has to do with her,
how much patriarchy or white supremacy has to do with
the focus being solely on Janet Jackson. How dare she

(25:29):
wore that nipple ring on TV or whatever was going on,
But like, yeah, you can tell clearly at that point
there were divergent paths for the two of them. You know,
justin Timberlake out here selling Levi's for seven because they
have like dirt stains on him. And yeah, Janet like
relatively went silent, and we didn't know if she was
just being reclusive. And now when you think about like

(25:50):
the forces that were opposed to her after that, you're like, ship, yeah,
of course, I mean, whether it was by her choice
or not, Like she was dealing with a very anti
agonistic relationship to the industry, Like that's fucking that would
be tough to deal with. For nine six of a second,
is what we saw. Yeah, I think it's important just
to keep in mind that we follow these celebrities and

(26:12):
think that we're following their lives and careers. But this
is all being scripted by uglier, more powerful people behind
the scenes who are just bad people. They have agenda, right,
they have agendas, and to ascribe any agency to the
people who you think are making the decisions, and you

(26:33):
know all that stuff because like being like I don't
like him because of a character he played in a movie.
It's like, yeah, but that movie was written by and
directed by somebody else. And you know, anyways, funck less
mombez and we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back. And we're back. And it is uh September eleven, Tuesday,

(27:04):
the same day the original attacks happened on and seventeen
years It's crazy, man. Yeah, I was just thinking about this,
and I think I've read other people reflecting on the
same thing that the longer we go. Oh it was
actually the Frank Rich article that was about how two
thousand eight was like a turning point in American history,

(27:25):
and he was like, if you stood in the ashes
of the Twin Towers to day, like on September twelve,
and I told you in seventeen years there wouldn't be
another like major terror attack, you'd be like, well, great,
we won, like everything's everything's great, And then he goes
on to make the point that, you know, actually the
most significant event of the past twenty years was the

(27:48):
two thousand eight stock market crash, but just in terms
of the Iraq War, right, Yeah, if you really want
to take it, tore, I think that whole war, I
mean completely destabilized reason for many years. Yeah, yeah, I
guess specifically American history. But yeah, the longer we go,
it seems like the more anomalous this looks like it

(28:08):
may go down as I don't know, I was trying
to think of like some equivalent because it was like
such a you know, huge and all consuming spectacular event
when it happened, that like, what is there a historical
equivalent of something like that? That was just an anomaly,
And I was thinking, like the Trojan Horse thing or

(28:31):
something like that, where it's just like a really lucky
strike that took advantage of a key weakness that we
just like weren't kind of aware of or ignored, I
mean ignore if I don't know that was such it
is when that happened, I was only fourteen or fifteen

(28:52):
years old or something like that, so that my mind
couldn't grasp the gravity of that entire thing like it
would today. Um, but just to think like how those
attacks were just laid out over the day is so
insane that that couldn't have been random. That was just

(29:14):
like you said, uh, and ignoring of something that we
should have saw coming. There were a lot of Ye,
there's gonna be a lot of warnings from the intelligence
community that was happening. Yeah, it was. I mean, so
when you say that it becomes more obscure, what do
you mean that we're becoming more and more detached of
like from no, no, just like more. I think I

(29:35):
assumed that this was going to be the new reality,
that there was just gonna be more and more terror
attacks in America, and like especially like in the aftermath
there was the Anthrax attacks, and I was in d
C at the time, and it just seemed like everyone
was like, oh, yeah, like this is just the beginning
of you know, there was gonna be a war on terror,
but the terror was going to be fighting a war

(29:55):
back on the United States. And you know, there have
been ask shootings and isolated terror attacks here and there,
but nothing on the scale there was also a I
think it was an editorial in the few years immediately
following September eleven where they talked about how it was
basically a fifty fifty proposition that somebody was going to

(30:18):
blow up a major US city with a rogue nuclear
weapon like in the next decade, and it was about
dirty bombs. Yeah, it just seemed like, Okay, this is
how things are going to be from now on. And
the fact that it has kind of gone into history
as this like huge, crazy thing that happened on US

(30:41):
soil that we haven't seen a sequel to, I guess
is what just what I mean that, Like, it's not
the context I would have expected looking back seventeen years
from now at the time. Yeah, well, I think it
just gave a lot of pretext for a lot of
other ship to happen. So, like Dave a pretext for war,
gave a pretext for unwarranted surveillance on the people of

(31:02):
the U S. It justified people's Islamophobia in the effects
of it are so when you think about where we
are today and you can kind of be like, oh, yeah,
nine eleven had a lot to do with that. Yeah,
Like at least changing the thinking of American people, Like, yeah,
I think a lot of the tangible event stuff like yeah,
there may not have been another attack or things like that,
but it fundamentally changed the culture in Yeah, in a

(31:25):
way that we're still we're still wrestling with. I mean, yeah,
it changed the culture in a way that even our
current president is the rhetoric is toxic and vile because
of that day. Yeah. And then uh, then we began
commodifying the whole patriotism idea thing too, just making that right. Yeah,

(31:46):
that's something else that I was thinking about on September eleventh,
in particular that it doesn't seem like we have a good,
unifying like way to recognize the anniversary of September eleventh.
Like I feel like all of the things that have
become associated with recognizing September eleventh are things from the right,

(32:08):
like you know, NASCAR rallies and football and you know,
respect our flag and stuff, And it just seems like
there could be something that the whole country could agree
on and get behind. Like you, I think you were
talking at one point about how Japan has a nationwide
moment of silence. Yeah, for like Nagasaki Hiroshima, like at

(32:29):
the moments where those bombs are dropped, there's a moment
of silence. There's another one on March eleventh for the tsunami.
So yeah, it's weird. I mean like in in Europe
you see it too, like I know, a remembrance day before,
like the football matches you see proper, like it's really
interesting to see an entire stadium, like even with rival
fans just figuring out, like Okay, shut the funk up
for a second and just take a moment to be

(32:50):
solemn here and reflective on everything. I think too, like
in today's society that we are so quick to move
on to the next thing, right where you know, two
thousand one to three, those subsequent years after the attack,
it was we were just a different society where we
didn't the twenty four hour news cycle wasn't as prevalent

(33:11):
as it is today, or social media wasn't even a
thing or all this type of stuff that if that
was going to happen for us, that moment is past,
I think, because now it's just like okay nine and
level less, let's reflect. But then tomorrow there will be
something that was right. But even in those years following,
I felt like there was still this idea of like

(33:33):
we still were connected to it a little bit and
rere like that was a dark time and it did
have it did did bring people together, for sure, because
it was just such a horrific event. But yeah, not
to the point where, like I think now, as time
goes on, we're just a little bit more and more
we've distanced ourselves a bit. And I don't know, I mean,
even though when I go to New York and stuff

(33:55):
and I go to the memorial there, there's still very
much you can feel it there, you know, like you
can understand just the gravity of the situation. But yeah,
I think nationally, I'm surprised that we don't really I
don't know if it's if it's a thing where, but
I don't know, are there real days of like national
tragedy that America really has kind of took stock of.

(34:16):
I mean, like hold on now, because I mean, like
December seven for Pearl Harbor, it's like a people like,
oh yeah, today's December seven. Yeah, like it was the
thing for a while and then you know, now people
are just it's more of a piece of trivia. I
feel like people are like, oh, you know, today was today.
I don't know. Maybe that's that speaks to the idea

(34:36):
of American resilience to that it's like, we're gonna move forward,
so we don't need to get hung up. But at
the same time, you know that, I think of what
the world looked like on September tenth, two thousand and one,
and how different that was, and then how that kicked
off this whole other thing. I mean even that more
like this is a little bit of a funny story.
But even that morning for me was just different from

(34:58):
the end of that day, and like I said, I
didn't have the mental capacity to understand the gravity what
was going on. But that morning, September eleven, I woke
up that morning and go to school, and that was
the morning that I found out Michael Jordan was coming
back to play for the Wizards, and so I was
distreting announced that he didn't announce it that day. He
didn't announce it that day, but that's the day I

(35:19):
found out that it was about to happen. I think
he officially signed the contract like a couple of days later,
a few days later or something like that, but that
was the day on ESPN one day announced Michael Jordan
is seriously considering to come back, and I was distract
I was distraught, so well it now it means what
it supposed to be. But I went to school that

(35:42):
day piss like, how dare he come back to the Wizards?
This is bullshit? And my Spanish teacher opened up the
class second period was like, it's just such a sad day.
And at this point I hadn't known about nine eleven yet,
and I was like, man, it ain't that damn serious guy.
It's like Michael Jordan just coming. It's fine, guys. Uh.
And then like it was like, no, there's a terror

(36:02):
attack and I was like, oh, Like I was like, oh,
that's what happened. And like the rest of the day
was just such a weird day, just to just hearing
all this stuff trickle in and seeing the fear and
people and at this point I'm in Chicago, so like
the Serious Tower was one of the targets, and so

(36:25):
like gas prices start rocking it up and all this ship.
So like the rest of that day just and then
put it in perspective and puts it in perspective for
me now, like what I was distraught about at the
beginning of the day compared to what actually happened is
just so insane. How much of a difference the feeling
of myself and everybody was from when we woke up

(36:48):
that morning til we went to sleep that night. It's crazy,
crazy as a nation. Famously, Time magazine had the Summer
of the Shark as their cover in the weeks before
because there had been who shark attacks that summer, but
they were kind of high profile and like a pretty
young woman like had one of her arms or legs

(37:08):
bitten off while surfing, and so they were high profile,
and so they were like, this will go down as
the as the Summer of the Shark. And then September
eleven happened. Um, the Leah died a month before that.
Oh really, I was at disney Land with my grandparents. Really,
I just landed when she her plane crash. It was

(37:29):
the first time I'd ever flown. Uh wow, so it's
the one and only time I experienced the airport without
t s A. Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy, all right.
Let's move on to the US Open, which was the
US Open final between Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka. Was

(37:51):
unexpectedly also a really upsetting event where you know, half
of the crowd was billing, crying. It was it was
a lot so I mean for people who didn't watch it.
I mean it was basically a situation where the judge,

(38:11):
like the umpire, the umpire penalized Serena for communicating with
her coach, and then it just sort of snowballed from
there with like penalized her for breaking her racket, that
penalized her for like all these different things that I've
seen so often happen in men's tennis. You mean go unpunished, Yeah, unpunished,

(38:34):
so so common. It was a shipp Man because the
game there, the match rather, was really shaping up to
be really good because Naosaga, who's twenty years old, was
giving Serena the work in that first set, and I
was like, Yo, this is gonna be a really good match.
And that second set started in Serena was looking like,
you know, Serena can come back, and finally it's like

(38:56):
yeah exactly, and I thought, Oh, we're gonna we're gonna
see like a fucking like the three set just nail
bite her here. And then yeah, the umpire just his
rigidity and just like he just started taking her to
task by the like using the letter of the law
to really get at her. And you know, I think
on one hand, a lot of people take your like,
you know, she lost it or whatever. It's like, Yo,

(39:16):
first of all, have you seen like men's tennis before
or tennis? Are you just seeing sports? Yeah, people are
going to lose it because this is They work their
entire lives for moments like this, in in Serena's case,
to win her twenty four Grand Slam and literally cementor
place as a go o a te goat uh. And yeah,

(39:36):
it was. It was a real shame because by the end,
you know, she's a competitor. He was fucking her over
with a lot of these calls, and she lost it
and it just exacerbated the situation and it completely ruined
the moment for Naomi Osaka, who I feel like they
do not talk enough about how good she looks as
a player because a lot of this has been around.

(39:57):
It's either been Serena's two hysterical or unsportsman or she
was a victim of sexism, which I totally agree with
that take the unsportsmanlike ship. Shut the funk miss me
with that. But I feel like there needs to be
more praise for Naomi Osaka too, because man, that was
a shitty way for her to have to experience her
first Grand Slam title. I mean like when they announced

(40:17):
her as a winner, they fucking booed and you could
just see it destroyed her to win. And for me,
I was really conflicted during the whole thing because Naomi Osaka,
I see a lot of myself as a black and
knees person up there. I was like, yo, I was
so conflicted. I was like Serena or the black and
knees girl, like I've never I've never had anything like this,

(40:39):
and it was a very I could feel everything Naomi
Osaka was as an American, as a Japanese person. She
kept bowing to Serena because she has the most utmost
respect for Serena as a player. She even apologized for winning,
which broke my heart that she could tell that the
audience was not happy with the result and she felt

(41:01):
bad that she won, and you know, she did a
really great job and in the final, Yeah, it's not
like they just picked somebody from the crowd and you
want like playing very well. You you you got there, Yeah,
you got there, And I know that's probably gotta suck too,
to know, like your opponent was kind of psyched out
by the ref and maybe didn't give you their best
performance and it's not as satisfying. But man, I hope

(41:23):
she's back. Who the one who won, Yeah, she ain't
going anywhere. Relijan King said in her up ed in
the Washington Post about this that she's like the future
of the game. Basically that it should have been just
sort of a torch passing or you know, the greatest
of all time versus the up and coming next greatest.

(41:46):
You know, for Serena who during this tournament has faced
the guy who heads up the French Open criticizing her
and like saying he wouldn't let her wear her like
cat's food anymore. And just like all this ship where
it's just sort of an outdated patriarchy kind of fucking
with her and she's struggling to be you know, recognized

(42:09):
as like the greatest athlete of all time without this
like sexist double standard, and then like this dude comes
and starts fucking, you know, get getting in her face
and like you know, seemingly having a very clear like
double standard and like very rigid against her. It just
seemed I don't know, I can't I can see where
the where she was coming from. I mean it is

(42:32):
is sexist. That cartoon that that Australian person made today
also paints it as racist as well. Uh the car
the guy made Serena look, you should go look at it.
It's um. He made Serena just look like the angry
black woman. He made Osaka look white and basically painted

(42:56):
it as what you know, what they got all it's
stomping on her racket, having tantrum. Yeah yeah, um. And
you know that's another part of it too, where this
this man couldn't Here's the thing, man, ass somebody who
loves sports, who has played sports, who plays sports, there

(43:18):
is a certain thing that you recognized as a fan,
as athlete, and and usually as a referee that when
it comes down to the finals, if you are the referee,
the umpire, you gotta have thicker skins. It's the final
that you have to let some things go because this
is literally the height of these guys and these women's

(43:38):
uh professional careers and everything is on the line. So
the fact that he couldn't take a woman and a
black woman saying you're a thief when dude, I'm sure
your wife has says some force to you. I'm sure
I didn't want to stand for it then either. So
this is his opportunity to opportunularly. Do you see how

(44:01):
high might see this? You see how high I I
finally can be imposed, Jennifer, my name is Serena, So
you know it's it's so amazing to me how thin
of skin men get when it comes to a woman
shutting you down, where you can take so much from

(44:23):
other men because and and and and I know we
have this macheesmore thing about with each other where man,
you ain't gonna see that blah blah blah. But how
long does it take you to get to the point
where you're like, I'm finally going to do something right
Where all this all Serena had to do was say,
you owe me an apology, and you're a thief because
you stole a point from me and you're gonna take

(44:44):
a game away from her. You're a bit, you know
what I mean. That's literally the only thing that I
can equate him as. There were so many dimensions of
gravity to this match, not just that it was these
two women, especially being women of color in a sport
that has traditionally been so dominated by white people. There

(45:06):
was a lot going on. And the other thing about
the coverage was they were so insistent on her just
being Japanese. It was kind of bugging me out too,
because there's this other thing about being biracial where people
sometimes cannot see you as being biracial right there, like
your Japanese. But then they weren't. No one was saying
that her father is Haitian. You know what I mean

(45:27):
this she is. She is just as much Haitian as
she is Japanese as she is American. And it was
interesting to see because even there are times for me
personally where I have to like people are like, oh,
you're Japanese one, I'm half black, I'm half Japanese, or
people only choose to see a dimension of your racial
identity when it suits a certain context. And it was Yeah,
there was just a lot going on in that match.

(45:48):
But at the end of the day, I'm just glad that.
You know what, Naomio Saka, you got your Grand Slam.
You're twenty years old, you have your entire career ahead
of you. Shout out to Serena, though she tried her
best to calm the whole crowd down by being like, yo,
let's knock the booing off. But yeah, it was just
a really really bittersweet kind of moment, and no, no
matter who you're you're supporting, like, there was no way

(46:11):
to feel good about it. It's unfortunate because I can't
think of any other great. Oh that's probably not true,
but in in modern sports time I can't them. By modern,
I mean like the past to thirty years, last year
I can remember. Yeah, I can't think of any great
who has had to deal with what Serena has had
to deal with in this tournament where you know, you

(46:36):
have an umpire calling you a cheater and you have
you know, this marring your professionalism and your athleticism and
how great you are, Like this is what happens like
the time. This wouldn't have happened to the Tom Brady's
of the world, or the Leon james Is of the world,
or the Michael Jordan's or the Kobe's like that, you know,

(46:58):
the painted errative. It would have been completely different if
they had damn the exact same thing that Serena Williams
did and that's sad to me. That's so sad. It's unfortunate. Yeah,
tennis needs to work on itself. Let's put it that way,
because it's Yeah, she's the best thing that your sport

(47:20):
has gone. She revived people fucking funk with tennis because
of Serena. Yeah, by far, Yes, I watched the ESPN
clips because of Serena. Yeah, look at you. I don't
watched the matches, but I watched the clips on the ESPN.
Your La coste polo looks. I got a couple of
tennis rackets and I might swing once in a while,
but I use them as guitars. They props, you know

(47:44):
what I'm saying, for sketch comedy, But I got them.
All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And Miles, you were saying
that you saw Mike Luprica say something all morning Joe

(48:06):
on Monday, they were fucking dragged on Twitter basically because
Miker Brazinski was just like, Oh, it's this isn't lady
like or something like that, and Joe was like, oh,
it is all about her getting an apology or whatever.
Acknowledge what is at stake for these people, rather being
like I wouldn't act like that, Like that's why you
on you a commentation. Yeah you're not swinging the racket

(48:30):
and getting racks. But yeah, Mike Luprica was like he
said something some ship like Serena Williams, she has priors
at the US Open. Yeah, I'm sorry, what like, like
like prior convictions? What the funk are you talking about?
Or is she hanging out a lot of Richard Pryor's kids.
If that's the case, then fine, that's fine, But don't
fucking begin all this fucking criminal bullshit talk just about

(48:52):
this woman of color anyway, and in this whole like,
I wouldn't act like that, the man. You would be
people who get competitive playing, you know, people wild out
at McDonald's in line for nothing. So you know what
I mean, Pete, don't do don't give me this. I
wouldn't act like that. Ship. Uh. That that that makes

(49:13):
me so upset that we can't take ourselves out of
watching something to be like, I can't believe they're acting
like that when you act like that every day? Yeah, uh.
And things that are much smaller, yea, or at the
very least allow this woman to express herself and not
that be off such a fucking like pearl clutching. Oh

(49:33):
my god, why didn't you just sit there and take it?
There was another US open scandal over the weekend. What that.
I'm not sure if you saw the woman dipping her
chicken fingers in uh coke, m M gross, like cocaine,
Coca cola, that would have been more acceptable. Yeah, coca cola.

(49:54):
But ye man, y'all lived until y'all had chicken with
cocaine by start farting, you put it all away? I
don't know, because everyone on Twitter was going wild about it. Yeah,
what the fund is this? So she was there with
her like young nephews and she was like, Hey, I'm
about to do this, don't tell anybody, And then it
got caught on national TV during it and became like

(50:16):
a to the point where she was even giving comment
about it, was like, I just think it tastes good, right,
well whatever, if you want to do that, you know, Yeah,
we have so much time on the internet, don't we
do You do you guys have any like gross, weird
food habits like this that you would I don't know
if only do under the cover of darkness over your
kitchen sink. It sounds like you have what I got.

(50:42):
It's hard for me to be because for me, I'm
just like everything. I'm not like it. I don't care.
I was telling you guys earlier that my family and
this I guess this is the Chicago thing, would get
those big deal pickles and put a big peppermint stick
in it. How'd you eat it? You just bite you
pepper stick or yeah, you bite it? You just you

(51:06):
you you eat the peppermint. I mean you you lick
the top of the peppermint because it's always long right
right right, the peppermint stick than the pickle. And like
you lick the peppermint stick, you eat the pickle around it,
and then you bite down on the peppermint and you eat,
like eat them together. So interesting, the brain from a
pickle and the mint is your hand is the bottom

(51:27):
of the peppermint stick getting all sticky with like b yeah,
yeah it is. It's a messy treat. It's so messy. Yeah,
that's holding. It just gets that I don't have anything
like that because I'm more particular about how I eat.
I don't drink is very I do not I don't

(51:48):
have a sip of anything when I eat. I always
drink at the very end. I don't like mixing flavors water. No, no,
unless I have I cannot drink with a mouthful of
food at all. Okay, make I have friends that like.
As kids, I remember like we would eat and they
would just be washing food down with a drink, and
I'm like, yeah, bro, you have food in your mouth
and you want to drink. You know. So I'm more

(52:11):
like in that way, like I don't like man fucking salad.
Don't put that ship on my plate with my other
stuff I need. I need salads with I don't like
food touching. A lot of that has to do with
Llo cool J. I think I've talked about this in
the movie Toys. I think I talked to this when
Riley Silverman On was on the first time because we
were both talking about our love for the movie Toys.
But Llo cool J in the movie he was like

(52:32):
I'm a military man and he's like, I like my
stuff on a tray and I don't like it touching.
When I was a kid, I was like, wait, that's it,
that's the way. No. But I realized what the thing
I didn't like was and it would be like when
spaghetti would touch the other thing or whatever. Just like everything.
I'm just I don't know the flavors. Keep them separate,
but separate vidego. I mean I'm a picky eater in general,

(52:54):
And by picky, I mean I just like what the
funk I like. I'll try something. If I don't like it,
I'm not gonna be like to keep trying. I wrote
a Twitter post about it this week, and man, people
came out. It was like, well, if somebody spends all
their time making you something, you should be an adult
and eat it. I'm like, man, they ain't got nothing
to do with me. They spend all the time making

(53:15):
and it didn't ask me what I like. I don't
like it. That's the damn. There's a weird thing I
do that I don't think it's weird, but maybe some
people do think it's weird. I make scrambled eggs with
cheese and then white rice, mix them both together and
put sugar on it. Yeah, that's weird, man, that I

(53:35):
heard that is white rice and scrambled eggs with cheese. American.
It depends whatever you have like, but usually either ched
or American and mix them together, and like, don't they
mix together? You put sugar on them and it is delicious.
How did you start doing this? It's just something that

(53:56):
my family does. So start doing on the in the eggs.
Oh that sounds nasty. Jelly and eggs sounds nasty. I'll
put jelly on most things. When you put jelly on
your eggs, I think I've had, you know, jelly toast
with eggs. Oh oh yeah, I've done that, but not
scrambled eggs. Like why I just put sweetness got into

(54:18):
the eggs because well, because like we grew up eating
sugar on our rice. So I until I was a teenager,
I didn't realize that people didn't put sugar on their
rice until I started getting making made fun of her.
Do right, So I guarantee when next week, when I

(54:38):
can like start eating sugar again, I will come to
the office and make you, guys, sugar rice scrambled eggs.
It's almost candy cane omelet. Yeah. Also is that game?
Please tell us some weird ship that, yeah, because I

(54:59):
would love to just you know, drag you on the
next show. Also, like this is yeah, we we shouldn't
be shaming people. I want, Yeah, I wanna. I want
to find out about all the weird you know, different
regional things people have, because I'm the idea of sugar
and rice is really odd to me. Like the thing
I think of is like rice crispies or something where

(55:22):
had I mean, I would like dump sugar on my
cereal because cereal growing and I have like some sugar
binge things where I will well, I will big mac
up oreos. So it's like you know the you just
fold the half an oreo on top of the other
one and just go through a whole sleep like that.

(55:43):
But you what you fold and it's like the perfect
ratio of cookie to cream is if you actually have
three cookies and two creams. So you take one. You
just take one, yeah, and then sandwich it up. Oh
so you have to two cream's worth of oreos, so
you take let's see, so we'll walk through each take one,

(56:04):
or you take the top cookie, ditch it another cookie,
take the top top cookie and then you don't need
to take you just add a half onties. I'm here
for giving a shot. I'm here for that. I love
dcast diabetic shot, sugar rice for breakfast and white eating

(56:24):
orioles like that. All right, so I'm looking forward to
hearing about all everybody's weird food regionalisms and all that.
And John Legend shout out to him got the egot
uh one and Emmy over the over the weekend, and

(56:44):
two other dudes did it with him with this victory,
which leads me to believe that this was just like
Project Egot where him and Tim Rice and one other
dude they were just like, all three of us need
Emmy's uh, let's make this thing happen. We know they've
been given out awards to these live musical events. Let's
do it. Oh Andrew Lloyd Webber was the other person.

(57:05):
Oh that's funny, probably maybe the most famous of them.
And I'm like, and some other dude, uh but yeah, yeah,
I mean yeah. It's like, you know when Lebron went
to Miami, we got we got something going on here,
trying to get this ring right. Just John Legend here
will do You're gonna be Jesus Christ. Okay, now I
know this sounds like hot, but he's a Christ superstar.

(57:27):
You want to love it. It's a guaranteed Emmy love it.
He apparently crushed it. I did not witness I watch it. Yeah,
but he's the first African American man to win, so
shouts to you. Although he's not the first black men
to receive all four awards, because was it? Harry Belafonte,
Quincy Jones and James Earl Jones have also won egots,

(57:48):
but they've gotten honorary awards, So whereas legend, he did
it off the strength of all his like individual submission
every time. What was this tony? I don't know what
was his tony? I I'm curious if you know. And
I was saying this before. When is you're gonna get there?
You got he wanted for Jitney? Okay, okay, yeah, all right?

(58:11):
Which was that was recent? Right? Yeah? It was in
two thousand seventeen, So he's just been stringing and what
did what did he win? Actor or Music Music Song for?
It's all for music and not except the Emmy was
for producing. That's why I called it a cheap But
it's dope. You know. It's funny to me, uh like

(58:33):
being a black actor and you hear ecot because Whoopee
has one too, but will be for me. It's so
weird to have these people win awards and other mediums
that aren't necessarily the medium that they do. Like John
Legend has an oscar, but he has it for music.
But obviously we equate oscars to movies and actors and

(58:56):
blah blah and all that stuff. But music is very
much a part of the film. Can process or whoopee
has a Grammy and you're like, well, what you don't saying, Well,
she has a four a comedy album. Uh. So it's
so crazy how they get these egots. And John Legend
got his Emmy for producing, uh and not for music.

(59:17):
So it was but you you'd imagine that his performance
contributed to the show being a nominatable show. So in
that way, I guess he's honored. I mean, it's a
dope past thing. Man, it's a dope thing that he
has it. Many people have it, and not many black
people have. I didn't realize Audrey Hepburn had one too. Yeah,

(59:40):
she wouldn't a Gray for I don't know, but I'm
just looking at this list. Comedy album. Yeah, she won
her the Apollo O. So she she won a Grammy
in ninety four for the children's album Audrey Hepburn's Enchanted Tales,
and she won an Emmy for the Informational Guarden Gardens

(01:00:01):
of the World with Audrey Hepburn, So she got them
after her passing a ninety three, so she was a
posthumous he got recipient. Doesn't count. Doesn't count. If you
don't know you got it, egot, you ain't got it. Egot.
And finally, just to check in with the story we
were following last week, Colin Kaepernick is the face of

(01:00:25):
Nike's Just Do It thirty year anniversary campaign and according
to the pig socks hashtag I think that's what they
call it, her socks pig or some ships because he
want else pig socks, right, oh right, right, So that
was gonna destroy Nike, and the president said Nike was screwed,
like everybody was going to boycott it, and actually their

(01:00:47):
sales went up. So yeah. And also there was like
on CNBC or one of those websites they sort of
did an analysis of all the talk on TV, radio,
social media, whatever. That one announcement generated Nike a hundred
sixty three and a half million dollars in free marketing.
Just yeah, I think so congratulations, congrats tasters, uh Nike. Yeah,

(01:01:13):
shout out to way to go, so I got we
gotta talk about something, Miles. So I just got some shoes.
Me and Edgar both got some shoes. If he came
to you, if he came at you about yeah, salt man,
he was very salty, but he said you're a fashion
due too. Yeah. He showed you the shoes we got.

(01:01:35):
Edgar got these just regular Adidas shoes, and I got
some Jordan threes. And you roasted me for my Jordan threes.
Why because Edgar was wearing the Palace Adida's collapse and
Palace Skateboards is an emerging brand that people are sleeping on.
We don't have to have this out online, but that

(01:01:55):
also contributed at the time. It was just because I
was also kind of looking at Edgar too, was like, wait,
hold up, why are they shooting this low? I mean
it was ash. That was my first It's my first
pair of George there you go. That was happy. I'm happy. Hey,
look makes you happy. Yeah, we're not trying to yuck.
You're young. I like that? Is that like a that

(01:02:19):
is an overly used thing I always see just I
just heard that for the first time three weeks ago
in my life, and now I hear it all the time.
I see it more and more and more, seeing a
lot of Twitter bios. I think because it's happening more
and more and more. Yeah, because we have like shame culture,
especially on the Internet, to where it's just like yo,
just they're living, they're not anything immoral. So if you

(01:02:41):
want to eat rice with your cheese, eggs sugar, it's delicious. Guys.

(01:04:14):
it'll be great. Okay, I have ok I have a tweet. Uh.
And I was having a discussion. Who was there. We're
trying to figure out why people hate you too? Uh.
And a lot of people point to the moment where
the real nail in the coffin came when Apple forced
the album onto us, and so Blake Wexler, you know,
wonderful guest on the show, he tweeted oddly enough, he

(01:04:37):
just said, I'll just come out and say it. The
YouTube album that comes with your iPhone is Flames. Just said,
but I'm just it was. It reminded me of that
moment because I remember everybody who got the phone, They're like,
what the funk is? And that kind of you know,
don't force the youto on people, let them gravitate. Go
to the YouTube that came one uh phone this weekend.

(01:04:58):
Yeah while we were driving. Oh yeah, if you just
plug it into something changed it like spitefully Babe Babara
Santa Barbara. That's when I always fucking auto plays for
some reason on my phone and I'm like, get this way.
Um well, you can follow me on Twitter at Jack
Underscore O'Brien and a couple of tweets I've been enjoying

(01:05:20):
at Jack. Keith Neil tweeted, when ain't no tissue on
the role after you poop and you gotta go get
some from the hall closet. And it's just a video
of this gorilla doing this walk that looks exactly like
the walk you do when you have walking down the
It is the most because you think, like by walking

(01:05:43):
your regular your gate is just gonna smear all that
ship all over. So it's like, I want to do
an experiment to know if there's any I'm sure there is,
depending on how messy you know you are, if if
you really if you just walk normal, how if that
exacerbates it feels like it was just used to smashing.
I don't want to know, go check it out. Uh,

(01:06:05):
