Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one nine, Episode
one of Day Night Guice, the production of I Heart Radio.
This is a podcast where we take a deep dive
into America's share consciousness. It is Monday, June one. My
name is Jack O'Brien, a K Britain looks good. Won't

(00:21):
you shut cold gas off? You're a fine little island.
Won't you shut cold gas off? Prevent suicide when you
cut shut cold gas off? Oh? Who is you playing with?
Shut cold gas off? That is courtesy a position dickhead.
And I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my
co host, Mr Miles Yes, it's Miles Gray. Ak Hideo Nojo.

(00:42):
I am feeling nostalgic for the Dodgers because I just
went to a Dodger game for the first time with
my mom. The last time she was at Dodger Stadium.
She was helping Hideo Nomo likes an interpreter his rookie
season honor, Yes, my North Hollywood, my Japanese American roots,
all of them at once. Yes. I thought that was
just a cool screen name. I didn't know you had

(01:03):
that connect at no yes, oh Yo. I was in
a photo shoot like when he came over here. They're
they're like, oh, Hideo Normal is now live in the
l A life. And my mom had to do some
like casting to make it look like, you know, Hideo
normal just like casually playing like sports with some American
kids on the beach. So she hired me and my

(01:25):
my homie DJ, who looked like just a California surfer
kid like we were playing catch with him on the beach.
It was a fantastic time, fantastic. Oh here, I'll show
you this picture right here. Whoa, it's me and Nomo
on the beach and DJ. I mean, you guys look
like a boy band more than you look like you're
playing catch. That is uh that I was. I kept

(01:45):
trying to get him to throw the ball at me
full speed and like everyone laughed, and I'm like, no,
I want to see. You're twelve and this guy's a
professional picture. You could die if anything the ball hits you.
So whatever, he was scared. What's the top speed of
a whiffleball like fastball from a heade Omo, like you
get that ship going? That's a question for the zeitgang

(02:09):
scientists out there are guests. Well yeah, maybe speaking of
our guest super producer on a hosny A, continuing to
kill it with yet another legendary guest. He's the host
of the podcast Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People, his new
comedy special and documentary Half My Life getting rave reviews.

(02:30):
You may know him if you're one of the handful
of fans of a couple of small shows called The Office,
Parks and rec He's the host of the legendary The
Chris Gathered Show, which makes sense because he is Chris Gut.
Everybody's met Chris Gather. Ak Andy Scoffman a K. David
Betterman a k. A Shlock, Jock Coward Stern. Beautiful for

(02:57):
coming on, man, Oh, it's lovely to be here. Thanks
for thanks for the kind intro and whatnot. Where are
you coming to us from? I'm well, I'm based in
New Jersey, but currently I'm waiting in a hotel room
in Vancouver because I have an acting job on Space
Force on Netflix and they make you sit in a
hotel for two full weeks even though I'm fully vaccinated.

(03:18):
And kudos to the Canadian government for playing it safe.
But man, am I starting to loose my mind? In
your mind? Did you bring things with you to quarantine
where you're like, oh, man, I'll bring like an instrument
or something, or what do you do. So many people
told me to buy a Nintendo Switch. I had multiple
people tell me go get a Nintendo Switch. But I
stopped gaming in college because I was in college when

(03:41):
Golden I came out, and I had a phase where
every literally every night, all my dreams would be that
I was running down hallways and I was like, oh,
this is not good because also, like later would be
proven true that I can have some addictive tendencies in
other ways. So I said, I've always just like gaming
is just I know it'll become a any two hour
a day thing. I didn't get the swish, and I

(04:03):
wish I did because it would give me more to do.
And then of course I told myself, no, I used
this as like a creative boot camp, and it's like, no,
what I'll do is I'll watch NBA playoff games. But
since I'm on West Coast time and I'm used to
East Coast time, that's like the games are at like four,
and then I had no idea what to do for
the rest of them by night. So, yeah, that's so funny. Man,

(04:26):
I'm also someone who ended up having addictive tendencies who
also quit playing video games in college because I was like, man,
this could this could really get out of hand. It
was getting bad and they were turning me into like
an angry I was like, people would like beat me
in the game of Golden Eye, and I'd be like,
it's because you used odd job and pick prox mind
and we all know that those are two cheats and

(04:48):
those are not the same skill. And I'd be like,
what am I like streaming at my friend, like my
friend Katie who lives down the hall, like like you
picked odd job, this bullshit? Like I told you I'm
not doing Golden Gun on the silo level again. Yeah,
let's from that ship back with how Proxi mines. See
how it goes. Let's go all mines. Let's go all mines.

(05:09):
Let's go all mines. Yeah, maybe this is not the
best side of myself. Yeah, alright, Chris, We're gonna get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things
we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about those dang
Southern vax rates a bit slower pace of life down

(05:29):
there and a bit slower to uh come around on
the whole vaccine things. We'll talk about that and why
that might be a problem. We'll talk about the second
act of the story about how billionaires don't pay any taxes,
which is the hunt for who leaked that ship? Who
the funk told you that? Who told you that? The
old who told you that? Argument? You know somebody, Yeah,

(05:52):
must be innocent if that's their first response, Who told
you that? No? No, who told you? We're gonna talk
about draft conditions out, We're gonna talk about a nun
on the run kind of We're gonna talk about other
billionaire assholes who want to go to space. Asked the
question of whether we are on the cusp of a
pop culture serial renaissance. All of that plentymore, But first, Chris,

(06:16):
we like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well,
I have one from last night, and I'd like to
blame this on being in this like very strict quarantine
where I'm bored. But this is something you could find
in my search history on any given night, which is
I recently did search Roddy Piper, Greg the Hammer Valentine

(06:38):
dog collar match. So I wanted to watch that dog
collar match from and I couldn't find a full video
of the dog collar match. I didn't search too hard
because I actually found an oral history of the three
Greg Hammer, Greg the Hammer, Valentine and Roddy Piper dog
color match. So I did spend the chunk of last
night reading an oral history of a very bloody wrestling

(06:59):
match from three. And I'll stand by that. What what
is a dog color match for our listeners who are
uninitiated dog color match? I don't know if it was
a thing that pre existed these guys, but they would
do this match where they both put a leather collar
around their neck and then they were connected neck to
neck via these chains. Because yeah, it just had these

(07:21):
brutally violent They'd wrapped their fists in the chains and
they dragged each other across the ring by the chain
and really like bloody brutal match. And uh, I was
reading last night, I didn't realize there's this famous one
from three, And then I didn't realize it was so popular.
They had to go around the country and do like
all the different territories and they wound up minus match

(07:42):
forty times that year, and they both talked to like
talking about how like I think Roddy Piper's ear was
torn in half and they both had like semi permanent
hearing loss from it by the end, Like all this,
all this insanity that these wrestlers put us through back then,
you think back in those days two when you're like,
this was not like this is like pre Hogan becoming

(08:05):
like pop culture superstar. This was for them, Like, all right,
I guess we gotta go like entertain the southern half
of Louisiana by ripping our ears off Tonight. Next week,
I guess we'll be up in Almaha ripping our other
ear off. Maybe only wrap the chain like three times
around my face this time before you rip it off. Yeah,

(08:26):
can you maybe take out my teeth? My ears are
still healing for my teeth. The photos look pretty erotic, though,
when you look at the still images, you're like, WHOA, Okay,
I see what's going on here. W It is pro wrestling.
There's there's always going to be some homoraticism inheriting. Some
fans might not like to admit that, but let's call
it what it is Yeah. I feel like wrestling back

(08:49):
then was closer to the like being a carny or
like in the circus. I guess would be the closer
thing where you came to town, people came and saw you,
but it wasn't wasn't on TNT like that blew my
mind when I realized that they also did shows that
weren't televised, because I went to one and I was like,
wait where the cameras. I'm like, this isn't this is

(09:10):
an exhibition? And I was like what they do this
all the time, like almost killed themselves. Cool. I'm really
fascinated to back in those days when it was the territories.
Like John Darnelle from The Mountain Goats has this famous
story I Love where he grew up in southern California
hated Roddy Piper. Roddy Piper was like the biggest asshole,
the enemy of the Guerrero family. And then he went

(09:32):
to visit his dad up in Portland, Oregon, and he
took him to wrestling matches and they introduced Rowdie Piper
and John was ready to like boo his head off,
and everybody started cheering because in Portland they were just
running a different storyline. But because there was no national TV,
it was like you can be like actually causing riots
in l A through your like bad guy he'll anti

(09:53):
Mexican rants, and then up in Portland you're like a
beloved hero pillar of the community. I love you. It's
not even that far away. Yeah, they might not have
had to change the storyline, that's true. Yeah, you you
are somebody who I've always been interested to hear talk

(10:15):
about kind of regionalisms. I think it was on Beautiful
Anonymous you talked about like just Weird New Jersey early
on that that always got me fascinated. That site is
pretty pretty incredible. I worked for them for anyone who's
that's a magazine about sort of like ghosts and local
legends and Jersey. I worked for them for four or
five years in my my early twenties, and it's the

(10:37):
best job I will ever have. It's it's called Weird
New Jersey. Yeah. Yeah. And it started out as a
fanzine and it just kind of kept getting more and
more call to access in Jersey and then it eventually
a lot of people. If you've been to like a
Barnes and Noble, you may know that like I wound
up writing a book called Weird New York, and then
they did Weird Us and then all these different states

(10:57):
that it became this like coffee table book series. But
the beating heart of it has always been this kind
of underground fanzine in New Jersey. And it was very,
very lucky to find it when I did, and I
encountered some situations that were truly foolish and terrifying, and
I can't believe it was a gig, And yeah, sort
of helped me realize like going on to be an entertainment.

(11:20):
I always felt like it was one of these things
that gave me a little bit of an advantage where
I was like, there's all these rules here, but I
also know that you might be able to like make
a healthy living off of a fancyne about New Jersey
based ghosts whatever. Felt the total need to like buy
in on the system side of They're a big part
of why. And I do think there's something about New

(11:41):
Jersey that's like a click up in terms of just weirdness.
I don't know, maybe through your research into New York
he found that wasn't true, but like, yeah, my family
has a story that my grandma and my aunt when
my aunt was a child, broke down on the at
I think it was a Jersey turnpike. It might have

(12:01):
been like another highway around there, but like by the
pine barrens, and a guy just came out of the
pines with a hammer and was attacking the car and
they had to like run their back. Then like the
way you called for help was there was like a
phone every like quarter mile, yeah, call box, And so
they were like running back and forth to the call

(12:22):
box while this guy kept running out of the pines
with a hammer, just like covered in mud, trying to
attack their car. Classic Piney's. They there's they called them Piney's,
the people who kind of lived within the pine Barons
and do their own thing. And my friend Group, I said,
he was not there this particularly, but my friend Group
has this story from high school that we all still
say this phrase to each other where they were going

(12:44):
to see some punk show in a place called Brown's Mills,
New Jersey, which is we were North Jersey kids, the
Pine Barons. That was like you know, like trying to
go to more door to us. It didn't make sie
some GPS back then, they got super lost and they
pulled into this shady looking station that looks like it
was off a movie set in the middle of the
pine barrens, and this guy comes out and they just go, hey,

(13:06):
can you help us out? Like how do you get
to Brown's Mills? And the guy just took a deep
breath and turned and just turned to them and inexplicably, way,
how do you get to Brown's Mills? And they just
like hit the gas and peeled out and got out
of there, like this South Jersey I'm that still certain

(13:33):
friends in my life where if I want to make
him laugh, I'll just how do you get to Brown's Mills?
What is something you think is overrated? Chris? People get
mad at me when I say this. I don't understand
our obsession with Lacroix. It's a perfectly fine Seltzer, but

(13:56):
it it doesn't need to be like the building block
of people's parties and welcome. It's like like I feel
like people almost I feel like they're showing off, like hey,
can I get you something you want? Like you want
some water or maybe maybe a Lacroix, And they expect
you to kind of be taken aback by that, as
if you've leveled up and it's like, no, it's pretty,

(14:19):
in my mind, pretty average seltzer available at many supermarkets,
and that's a good product to be. I'm not trying
to talk bad about Lacroix, but I don't see it
as this sort of like level up moment in my
in my day and a lot of people flip out
about Lacroix. Yeah, I've moved on to other flavors. I
found superior flavored seltzer's that I prefer, like, I like Waterloo.

(14:42):
That one gets my palette just pumping. I feel like
the people I know who have like I'm really into it,
where people who never drank water and suddenly we're like,
I hate no flavor and then they're like, you can
drink something with no sugar and it's like water. And
I feel like that. I know it's a specific energy
from the soda drinkers who are trying to be healthy

(15:04):
that now it's like it's like their methadone or something
that might be part I'm a very obsessive soda drinker.
I'm actually, I would say, kind of weird in my
soda knowledge, and there might be a part of me
that feels like I'm sensing the same thing, and maybe
there's some bitterness there, like even on the fact that
you like soda but don't like soda. But let's not
have like a weird middle ground water down coconut soda

(15:27):
that's not good. Yeah, That's why I like Waterloo because
it feels like it's just missing the high fructose corn
syrup to become a full blown flavored soda. And that's
what I appreciate about. It's not subtle at all. I
know that it's got sugar, but I'm like, are we
really going to claim that Lacroix has taken the San
Pellegrino crown because it used to kind of be San
Pellegrino that occupied that cultural slot, and in my mind,

(15:49):
San Pellegrino is just just a better product. It feels
like we're in a in a carbonation arms race where
we're just like trying to get the most carbonated beverage possible,
and like Topo Chico I think is near the near
the top, but like Waterloo is also hyper carbonated, right,

(16:09):
it's like very yeah, Like if you if you close
your mouth after taking a full sip, like the a
carbonation would just make your mouth explode. Because would have
to release. Yeah, I feel like it's like the there's
a spiciness that like the way that people are about
spicy food, people are about like the carbonation has to
fucking hurt. Like my kids call it sharp water because

(16:31):
it feels like you're like getting pickle pricks in your
in your mouth. And they like it, you know, but
it's like their chest is gonna break open if it. Yeah,
it sounds like they like it in the same way
we used to like like Warheads and cry babies like
candies that classed us pain. Yeah, that was which was
a really good That was a good phase of my

(16:52):
child Hell yeah, yeah, shout out to the kids that
it was like their whole personality though, like that for
a while, I remember like they were like as the
Warheads kid. Yeah, like you can hand him any flavor
of Warhead. You can stand here and watch and no
tears will escape. He won't even grim as he can
just take down that Warhead. It was a major source
of middle school respect in my community. Right, it becomes

(17:15):
becomes mythological like they did a whole pack, Like, yeah,
are their parents still split up? Yeah? Yeah, what is
something you think is underrated? Chris Well. I want to
be clear, this is in no way like any sort
of like purchased branded average sisement. But since I since
I took down one item of the of the food

(17:35):
and beverage world, I'll say my wife started bringing on
these snacks and they're gonna sound like bullshit to anybody listening.
But they're called him Alayan pink salt Paleo puffs, which
I know sounds like something that would be like only
for like meatheads who only want to eat protein. These
things are the best. They're the best, and from what

(17:57):
I can tell, very few people know about them, and
they're completely delicious. They're so delicious. What is it made?
What is it? What's what is what's puffed? I mean,
the the closest analogy would be to say that it
is in the Cheeto family. It is in the puffy
Cheeto family, but it's made with coconut oil and it's salty.

(18:18):
It's perfect. It's The company that makes them is a
company called Lesser Evil Snacks. And I've started trying their
other stuff too, and they got other They got these
power curls. Those are pretty good. They also make they
they had a watermelon flavored bag of popcorn, and I
was going, what is We're trying too hard and I
ate it. I said, no, what this is is refreshing
and delicious. But in my mind nothing holds a candle.

(18:38):
They even have like a cheese flavor, like a I
guess it's vegan, like a no cheese cheese waver that's
meant to actually be like a cheeto. Those are good.
But these Himalayan pink salt paleo puffs. You put it
bag in front of me, the bag will be gone.
And I'm I feel like there's a chance here that
if we can get enough people on board, five years

(19:00):
from now, they're going to be in that pantheon of
here's your lace, here's your bugles, here's your ruffles, here's
your Himalayan pink salt paleo pause, here's your Cheetos. Like
it could be up there, it could be on there.
They're good. They deserve it, They deserve the shine. Are
they pink or is the bag just pink and the
salt is pink? I think it's just referring to pink salt,

(19:23):
just pink salt. Yeah, they're salt to salt. Yeah, they
look colorwise. They don't look like much. They couldn't kind
of look almost like um like beige styrofoam. M'd say, yeah, yeah,
they look like un cheesy cheese puff. Yeah, but are
they delicious highly recommend Yeah, that's the Trader Joe's product or.

(19:47):
My wife started ordering I know very little about I'm
I promise you this. I'm not like surreptitiously played to
plug things. My wife started ordering something stuff from a
place called Thrive Market, and I know very little about it.
But they had these things, and I said, let's get more.
It feels like this could usir Pirates Booty, you know

(20:07):
what I mean, that's what it is. Yeah, I feel
like that's what I think. Maybe I feel like if
I'm working with lesser able, like we gotta go straight
for Pirates Booties. Fucking neck with these. It's right, it's
very clear. And went from Cheetos to Pirates Booty. We
all want healthier Cheetos, great, and then you look at
the back you go not necessarily that much healthier, and
then Pirates Booty the Paleopuffs, which I'm not going to

(20:30):
claim a healthier but is an extension of the same mindset. Right, right, right,
they're good. They're good, Miles. I think your philosophy of
go for their fucking neck might be a little aggressive
for a company called Lesser Evil, but well, you know
that's why they hire me, and that's why I said,
here's the disconnected for Pirate. Look, if we want to
be lesser evil, then we're gonna have lesser profits. Okay, filmy,

(20:50):
So look, you guys come up with the ideas. I'll
come up with the pr campaigns and the straight up
hashtag fun pirates booty. Well, we're working on that. That's
gonna be but we will figure out a way to
market this. But yeah, that's the sort of spot I'm
looking for. But when you said watermelon flavored popcorn, I
have to circle back to that. What do you mean,
Like it evokes the flavor of like the Jolly Rancher,

(21:13):
fake gas water, and like what kind of watermelon flavor?
We talking along those lines. Clearly, it's like an artificial dusting.
But I would say it's not offensive and it's not overbearing.
Where I went, oh, this feels like a gimmick, and
then I go, oh, no, what this is for I
imagine is if you're having people over in an outdoor setting.

(21:34):
M this would be great on a hot day outdoors
in particular, It's not meant to be like a candy.
It's not like a caramel corn with like watermel It's
like they just gave it this light touch and it's good.
It's pretty good. All right. How did you guys react
the first time you heard there was a snack called
pirates booty? I laughed. I did too. Yeah. I think

(21:57):
I was in high school or something when it came out,
and then it was like a thing that I remember
kids were bringing it like for their school lunch or whatever,
because like they had younger siblings who were their parents
are buying it for And I was like, what is
this And I was like, yeah, it's okay. But at
the end of the day, was like, it needs more
salt and needs more it needs more chemicals for me
to fully go there. But the texture I think was

(22:18):
the most fun, was the most novel thing. Yeah, it's
a good it's got a good nosh. I put it
in my kid's book bag this morning. Welcome to dad
cast your kid. We got a five year old and
a three year old. Oh, I have a two year old. Ay,
we are last day of school today, schools out forever, now,

(22:41):
schools something forever. I've said that a number of times
than they've been thoroughly wouldn't. What's the response to that.
They're like, just hand the spiky water, dad, But give
me some spiky water. All right, Let's take a quick
break and we'll be right back. And we're back, and

(23:11):
let's talk vaccines. Let's talk about vaccination rates. California. Not
to brag, but we are crushing it in terms of
vaccine rates. The South is not not so much right,
a little slow. It's a little slow, and I think
more than anything like this, there's been a lot of

(23:32):
experts based you know, pointing to the fact that while
it's great that the West Coast is definitely probably gonna
reach like marked by the fourth of July and things
like that, they're huge pockets, especially in the South where
the vaccine hesitancy is creating what they believe could be
a big problem because they sort of compare what happened
last year and are possibly saying, could there be another

(23:55):
wave like happen like similar to last year, because around
this time rates were going down. The lowest point was
on June eighth, we had eighteen thousand cases per day,
but then on July one, it doubled over forty new
cases per day, and then at the end of July
it ended up at seventy new cases per day. Because
I think a lot of people are feeling okay, things

(24:16):
are dying down. Then you had all these summer breaks
and things shot right up, and at that time the
southern US was the most affected. So say it's like Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,
and now they're looking at this and saying, you know,
because now most like a lot of older people are
getting vaccinated. This pocket is really probably most likely could

(24:36):
affect young people in children because they are the like
they account for the largest group of unvaccinated people, and
there's already increased reports of variants that are affecting young
people and these other things that are going on. So
when experts say things like those groups are quote sitting ducks,
that is a little alarming because I think for all
of us thinking like, yes, they're as we might be

(24:58):
vaccinated and hopefully that spells a good situation for the
rest of the country. If we have like novel breakout
infections in these areas that ripple effect you could go
through the entire country despite even having you know, high
vaccination rates in other places. So a lot of the
time they're just saying, hey, you don't want to just
immune system your way through this one, because you could

(25:20):
essentially be transmitting new forms of the virus as well
or having you know, more severe outcomes because you're not vaccinated. Well,
Southern kitchen cooking up some new strands of covid U. Fortunately,
the young our behaviorally good at avoiding exchanging saliva with
strangers or sneezing in each other's mouths or wiping their

(25:42):
nose and then just like high fiving each other. Yeah,
now this is bad, this is this is not great.
We're obviously in a better position than we used to
be when we weren't like vaccinated in some parts of
the country, but yeah, I think it just underlines how
much we're still very much a pandemic, you know. And
I think as much as this the messaging from like

(26:04):
the media or advertisers are like, hey, time to get
back out there, and blah blah blah. It's like, well, yeah,
it's a certain level, Yeah we can, but that's not
to say that this is over and the risk is
completely evaporated either. Have you guys had the thing happened
yet where you're going back out with your friends for
the first time and then you realize you're wearing slippers.

(26:26):
You forgot to put on shoes or pants, like in
that commercial. My version of that was that, I, you know,
there's comedy shows have started back up again. And I
did a show with a couple of friends of mine
and we were in a car together, and I was
in the back seat and it was three of us
and they were talking, and I kept having those moments
of like, well, I should say this thing about what

(26:48):
they just said, and then it would pass me by
and then it'd be like, but they okay, they were
so they were talking about basketball, but that's three minutes.
It was a weird if I bring it on, And
I was like, oh, I this year has been long
and strange enough that I don't know how to participate
in a three person, in person conversation. You're killing it
on Zoom right now, Chris Zoom feels more natural. Honestly,

(27:08):
right one on one I can figure out. But when
you have to get back into that pacing of oh,
there's three actual living human beings in a similar space.
I'm unfortunately positioned in the one with at least eye contact.
I have actually human evolution. It took that quick for
me to not know how to insert myself into jumping anyway.
And I don't know that that's my best skill on

(27:30):
my on a normal year is interaction. But it was profound.
I was I was in the back seat actually laughing,
like my inability to participate in this is actually pitiful.
If anybody could see it would be pitiful. What's happening?
Like about to kind of like if we had a
camera on a camera, you would you about to be
open up, like, well, so much of that, so much?

(27:55):
And how long was that? Yeah? And then me sitting
here like, well, if I talk about the peanut butter
thing now, they're not even gonna remember they said. And
then the next time someone does asked me what's going on,
I don't know what they're talking about currently because I've
been living such a deep internal monologue. So I'm just like, oh, yeah,
I know, you know, that's cool. And then it moves
on beyond me and I feel like a real piece

(28:16):
of ship and it reminds me so much of my
entire youth. Hey, remember when you guys were talking about
basketball earlier. Well, uh, here's an observation about that. Kawhi
Leonard huh huh. He's very good at basketball right, offense
and defense, right guys, two way player. I mean, come on,

(28:38):
we're talking about how to get my daughter to read
more man? Oh right, yes, so oh yes, since you
brought up basketball, you've brought up but you've had an
opened and opened up, very soulful, emotionally risky revelation about
your daughter's cognitive ability. Kauai, he really knows how to
poach a passing lane right the way it puts pressure

(29:04):
on those shooters. I mean, come on, I feel like
you're not recognizing that. I just said my daughter figured
out how to read, and they thought she wouldn't be
able to do. You think the fact that he's quiet
keeps him out of conversations for best in the league.
A lot of people never thought Kauai would be able
to shoot, but he really worked on his JA and
now I mean his mid ring. She can read. They

(29:26):
told me she couldn't read. Now she reads fluently at
above her grade level. My marriage almost dissolved over this.
This hardship man, what come on dissolving those defenses when
he's hitting that mid range game and he's even hitting
some threes. Now, get out of the get get out, Miles.

(29:49):
Are you having any re entry issues? Nah? I don't know.
I mean I've been on a plane. That's like I
was saying once that happens a lot, has a lot
of fear has subsided. I think it also along with
being vaccinated and being like, you know for the longest time,
like that's the last thing I'll ever do is get

(30:09):
on a plane with just a mask and just be like,
all right, God, let's do this. Yeah. I think that
between that and the Laker game, I want to and
just hearing all the people scream like just animals, Like
when the ball tipped off, I was like, yeah, man,
humanity's fucking dope, Like let's get back into this. For sure.
Well good for you, man, I'm happy for you. But

(30:29):
all that to say is I was invited to like
a party, and I'm like, part of me is like fun, man,
how am I going to do like at a like
a big party. And that's where I definitely am getting
like gathered like three man combo anxiety, and I'm like
maybe I'll just like sit statically at a table with
one seat in front of me and be like, yes,
I welcome one conversation participant, like a performance art, like

(30:53):
a Marina stunt. Yeah, just put this card table in front, Like,
let's talk about My first party was my neighbor who
I'm friends with, was turning forty. He and his wife
had a party. It was like twenty people. The only
people I knew were the people who are having the party,

(31:16):
and my wife was out of town unexpectedly, so it's
just me and I'm trying like it was fine. They
were all very nice people, but uh, it was some
intense awkwardness that I'm trying not to let, you know,
be you know, spoil me on the act of becoming
social again. You know, it was brutal. You just this

(31:39):
This has nothing to do with the pandemic, but I
just had this memory come back that I haven't thought
about years, because we're talking about parties and figuring out
to be in them. When I was twenty three, I
had an apartment in Montclair, New Jersey, and the people
who lived next to me were also young, and I
was just so cripplingly shy and deep in my own
head and dealing with my mental stuff like not and

(32:01):
actually not dealing with it. And I never knew how
to say hi to these people, and they seemed like
we could have been friends. And there was one weekend
night I'm never I can't believe I haven't thought about this,
And I remember one night being home and they were
having this rager and I was home alone and I'm
listening to these other people might just have what sounds
like the most fun party through the wall. And I'll

(32:23):
never forget just sitting there being like I should just
go knock on the door and say, hey, I live
next door, can I hang? And I sat there on
my couch two scared to do it, and then I
I still remember this moment in my head of just
hearing he and everybody was just dancing to jump around,
just shouting along every lyric to stream, and was sitting

(32:48):
on my sitting on my couch alone, miserable, just like
to the kids on the hill, plus my mom and
my pop. I also know every word, like I'm listening
to all these people have fun shouting every word. Yeah,
just now thing the words one tier, oh man, the Bible. Man.

(33:13):
I ain't going out like no punk bitch. You might
think I'm that song, and Mama said, knock you out.
I feel like might be the most memorized rap songs
for a certain generation. That's true, that's true. All right,
let's talk about Hunts four leaks. This this is just

(33:35):
a story we see all the time. We kind of
got a taste for it during the Trump administration when
like a story would come out that was based on
a leak or a whistleblower, and then we would get
to hear about like Trump kind of trying to ferret
out the leak, and also he would tweet, he would
give us like a live look into window into his
brain as he like was being furious about it. And

(33:57):
then we kind of learned that you think that, like
reporters were like, you think this is bad, Obama was
like worse. He like was really aggressive about going after
anybody you leaked, just like digging through their emails and
ship And now that is a big part of the
story about you know, the Pro publican story that we

(34:18):
just talked about earlier last week where they leaked the
tax records of individual billionaires. You know, they instead of
it being like here are fifty anonymous people who are
the richest in America. They were like, no, you get
to see who these people are, because that is how
we understand stories, is like via these characters, and like

(34:41):
they are making themselves celebrities. So we are going to
use that too, Uh make our point. And I think
it was really important reporting. And now the story that's
being told in the mainstream is like they're hunting down
the leaker. Uh. The I r. S Has like referred
it to the FBI, And I don't know, just generally

(35:04):
in reality, when you accuse someone of something and their
responses who told you that and then making the entire
argument about who told you that, um, that's usually like
a pretty good sign that that person is doing something wrong.
What you heard is accurate. But for some reason, unless

(35:26):
it's being done by the Trump administration, this hasn't really
hit our brains as like an evil thing that becomes
like the focus of our attention. I think that it's
also like a lot of these billionaires must be mad
at certain other billionaires because they're not even I can't
help but feel like there's something to be said for

(35:47):
like Elon Muski is gonna host SNL and then Jeff
Bezos is gonna announce he's launching himself into space. Oh yeah,
like yeah, there's very little sympathy for me right now
about these people's privacy rights, if I'm being honest, like,
it's gonna be hard for me to go like, well,
I would hate it if my tax in fall got
out there, like yeah, But I also don't, you know,
dominate the American economy and fight unionization and launched myself

(36:11):
into orbit like it. I don't do that either, So yeah,
I'm not gonna worry too much about how who leaked that,
you know, but I bet that you got like Warren
Buffetts sitting around going like I play it cool. I
shouldn't think a lot of these people spend a lot
of time and money staying directly out of the spotlight.
That makes it um so enjoyable to want them to

(36:35):
get taken down. They'd prefer we didn't know this. They
must be looking at Elon going get the funk off
a live TV. What's wrong with you stay off? Making
it hot for the rest of the drug dealers? Essentially
exactly that is. It is interesting. It's kind of become
a new strategy of like like billionaires used to I
guess They didn't used to laylow. They used to like

(36:56):
buy colleges and name them after themselves, so they've always
like having their name out there. But it's it's just
seems like the trying to like chase celebrity, probably like
having more PR dollars spent on their own like personal
image than most companies. I'm sure. Like that seems to
be a new a new angle. And the thing that

(37:18):
they've arrived on is go to space, man. People people
think that ship's cool. And at least the college is
like I'll put my name on this thing and other
people go and learn there. And then you know, like
these billionaire industrialists back in the day where it's like
I'm gonna build Grand Central Station because I want i
want my city's train station to be better than anybody,

(37:39):
It's like it's just still building a public service thing.
It's like, dude, you're just gonna go like read que
cards on NBC television and smirk about it and none
of us are even sure how much of what you
do is real. Man, Like, yeah, I'm not gonna feel
too bad when somebody's like, check out the dirt I
got on these people. It's hitting a breaking point you know,
and it's it's actually just really scary because it's like

(38:01):
they're going to go after the leakers, but it's not
like anything changed after the Panama papers either, and it's
just you's gotta sitting and he wonder. Oh, it's like
it really it really does feel like this is not
going to change. They're not going to opt out of this,
like it's gonna need to be taken away from him.
And that's what you're talking about, like, Oh, is there
gonna have to be like an actual like revolution against

(38:22):
billionaires because it seems like they're getting a lot of
chances to go at least put in a token effort
to give some of this stuff back. You know. It
feels that way. And I think until like culturally we
we shift away from just being like, oh, having a
lot of money is good and cool. It will always
have like this love affair with like people who like
have just could you imagine that's so cool? We have

(38:45):
so much money, like you don't even know what to
do with it. And I think slowly, I think more
and more, look more and more people look at billionaires
and go, no, there, that's that's bad. This they're hoarding
the wealth and that's why there's a lot of people
are lacking is because these people a don't pay their
fair share and they're just concentrating all their wealth off

(39:05):
of the backs of the people that work for them. Um.
And I think until we can like shift cultured for
like a billionaire or a millionaire, you know, some like
hyper wealthy person to show up like on a screen
and a sitcom and people don't go, oh who for right, boo,
oh my god, it's a fucking evil doer like that.
That's I think the important shift that that has to

(39:28):
take place at some point at least a popular culture.
I feel like some of these guys are really starting
to come off to me, like if Willy Wonka didn't
share any candy, and it's like and now you're just
thrust the psycho. He's just like a psycho and crazy
clothes with like a weird warehouse full of experiments, right,
and you don't even share the candy, like we don't
even does he does the golden ticket thing, but he

(39:51):
keeps them all for himself and then just like makes
a big deal about how much candy he can eat.
It's he's like, damn, I got each one. Yeah, I
mean tier point, Chris. I think the the message of
this leak is obviously the rules are broken, right, Like
it's so like there was the CNBC segment that was

(40:12):
embedded in one of the articles about how like the
I R. S Is hunting these people down, and the
c NBC anchor was like, it's not tax evasion, it's
tax avoidance, Like I don't see what the big deal is,
and like one of the people I think it was
Jim Kramer actually on the panel, was like, they're gonna
be mad at me, but I'm I think these billionaires

(40:33):
need to pay more money. And they're like, what are
you talking about? How are you going to do that
if they're not booking the money, But like they just
can't think beyond the Yeah, they're refusing that they suck.
The rules are bad, that system is broken. And I
called him out before like a joke. But I think

(40:53):
Warren Buffett is the one who has gone on record
and said like, they absolutely should change the law so
we can stop doing this. And I think he's been like, yeah,
I do it because it's not illegal, but it should
be league. I think it was one Buffett who's been
like guys like if twenty of us all, that's the
thing that's so maddening for the rest of us, right, Like,

(41:14):
I've been very lucky. I've I've a couple of years ago,
I had a couple of years I did really well,
and I have some breathing room. Now I'm not doing
as well. And I sit and I stressed about that.
But I'm very very lucky. And even I sit here
and I go, man, it really is about twenty to
thirty people that if they just like, if they cut
the ship to a degree that they wouldn't even notice,
it would take so much stress off the rest of us.

(41:37):
I'm not even saying take I'm not even saying own
up to it. To do it to a degree that
it will affect your life. It will not affect your life.
You'll only own of American commerce instead of forty three
percent that other will help so many other people get
like braces for their kids and ship Like That's what's infuriating,

(41:58):
is like you could find a ground where these assholes
are still getting away with so much and and it
erases human suffering and they don't do it. And it's
weird to say, but I'm like, that's for as gross
as like you know, the Carnegie and the rocket fillers,
where at least they did go and build big train
stations for the rest of us, And wasn't was it
so that they could like jerk themselves off in the mirror. Yeah, sure,

(42:20):
but they did do something for the rest of us. Yeah, absolutely.
But Bezos is doing something for the rest of us,
and that is going to space and showing us anything
is possible with a loan from your parents. Yeah, let's
take a quick break and we'll talk about that in
a second and we're back. And so what you were

(42:52):
saying before the break, Chris Jeff Bezos coming out getting
all the all the attention for planning to go to
space with his brother and late July has piste off
a couple of the other billionaires. I think his his
decision was based on him being competitive with Elon Musk, Right,
he was going to go to space eventually, right, And

(43:13):
he's like, well, funk out Blue Origin, we want to
be the first, you know, manned commercial flight out there.
And they announced the flight like a while back. Bezos
didn't say he was gonna like, so we knew this
fight was gonna happen. But Bezos didn't say he was
going to be on that ship until last week with
his brother, who I still suspect is a clone that
he created in order to harvest the Organs because the

(43:35):
vibe was just really weird between these quote unquote brothers.
But that's for another episode. So yeah, Like so July
was like the gauntlet was put down and then Richard
Branson's ass comes like so you know, he's been talking
about Virgin Galactic since two thousand four. To be fair
to Richard Branson, I feel like he was one of
the first like billionaires like I gotta go to space.

(43:57):
I don't give a fuck, I have the money to
do it. Let's do this it And apparently now there
are now that these reports are unconfirmed, but reports have
come out that he is trying to figure out a
way to go to space before Jeff Bezos now on
the fourth of July weekend, So all part of this
like ego match, they said. Quote a source who requested

(44:20):
anonymity told like this person who Douglas Messier, who runs
this blog about like, you know, space stuff, said that
the company plans to fly Branson on a test flight
of its spaceship to rocket over fourth of July that
would poise Branson to beat Bezos too space by a
narrow two weeks got him. I mean, how wild would

(44:40):
it be if there's back to back disasters. I know,
I was just gonna say there's a new challenger to
the throne of first billionaire in space. Like this is
becoming a parody of itself. Last time, I was like,
this sounds like a New King Ralph type opening script
where someone Bezos tries to go to space, something goes wrong,
and then some some guy on Earth ends up being like,

(45:01):
I'm the new Bezos. But I feel like, now you
have Branson going up there. It's just it feels like
a like a sketch or something. The real question in
my mind becomes if if something goes wrong, and I'm
not wishing death upon anybody, but just theoretically, if Branson
doesn't make it this, Bezos still go oh right, I'm

(45:24):
doing this for Richard. Does he back out? Is he like, yeah,
maybe we need to explore this stuff more and I'll
leave it to the scientists, Or is he like, no,
now I get to be the first and it's even
more meaningful traumatic Yeah, I don't. I bet he would.
I bet. Yeah, how how can he resist? You know, yeah,
because I think that would also like wouldn't that you

(45:44):
know if if the I don't know if Blue Origin
is publicly traded, but if you suddenly backed out, they'd
be like, well, hold on the head of it. Won't
even get on like their maiden voyage because you know,
all those guys they have to triangulate everything based on
value and shareholder value and all this other ship. And
Jeff is like, he's like, I'm so scared though Richard

(46:06):
kind of bad time, like he didn't readjust well and
the re entry and I don't want that, And they're like,
you gotta go. You asked for this, you announced this ship,
you back out. Now the stocks are going to get
on the space ship. Un He's all like crying when
he gets on. It was like, I guess it was
a very an emotional flight for Jeff Bezos. The panic attack. Yeah,

(46:29):
I don't know, I I it's it's just again, it's
just so funny when this whole thing, Wow, there's all
this suffering on Earth. It's truly just like, Nah, I
want to be the first guy to build his own spaceship,
to go on my own the One thing though, that
Richard Branson is running up against is that he needs
to get like a license from the f a A

(46:51):
like really quick in order to do this. So who
knows the bureaucracy might end up helping Jeff Bezos in
the end if he needs help with that. I know
a few people I could pull some strings get him
a space for a space worthy ship license. He does
anybody know? An Like, I'm gonna get my space license

(47:11):
real quick? Plot like next week? An what you said passport? Right?
You wait? Space space license? Space license? I don't even
know where you dm Do you go to the d
m V? Does the post office sell those? Like? What? Yeah?
I don't know where you get him from. I didn't

(47:31):
get my picture get the post office picture from my
space passport? He would need to. They said it's doable,
but again it has to be that they need a
a licensed commercial rocket like a like a properly permitted
commercial rocket lunch from the do not like this for

(47:52):
Richard Branson, Man, this sounds so half past last minute.
They also say, like, you know, the f a may
be able to modify the license with the f a A,
And it's like, don't start cutting corners. Now with the
funk y'all, I mean, yeah, it would. It would just
given the upside down morality of like this upside down

(48:12):
world of billionaires, it would be fitting that the most
likable of the billionaires would just blow up like a firework.
All right, let's talk about a nun who's at least
out here getting it for yourself, not not in the
most the most lawful of ways, or nuns are the

(48:34):
brides of Christ. We all know that anyone who went
to a Catholic school has been been like, oh no,
this person is real creepy, but yes, this this nun
who was a principal at a Catholic high school in
Torrance Shadow, Southy, California, was found to have been embezzling
hundreds of thousands of dollars from the school's coffers to

(48:56):
the tune of eight hundred thirty five thousand dollars. And
they didn't find this out till she retired, and like
they didn't the archdiocese did an audit and they're like,
what happened here? So over like her twenty eight year career,
she would take like donations and tuition checks and like
reroute some of them to like a convent fund that
was there, like a bank account that was there for

(49:18):
the nuns and the convent to pay for whatever expenses
they had. But that was like her like gambler slush
fund that she was using. Yeah, she was gambling and
like cracking up all kinds of debt and like and
just using this fund to pay it off. And it's
just again, it ends with someone who clearly has the
absolute right amount of Catholic guilt. They said, the moment

(49:42):
that they pressed her, she like a quote. As soon
as she was confronted, she accepted full responsibility for what
she had done, and she was cooperated with completely with
law enforcement and the archdiocese shout out to Catholicism, noting
that quote. Later in her life, she has been suffering
from a mental illness that clouded her her judgment and
caused her to do something that she otherwise would not

(50:03):
have done. And I don't know the details about that,
but also it sounds like maybe a lifestyle of never
having fun, uh contributed to this thing that clouded your
judgment and saying like funk this, I can start shaving
off ten g's at a time and get my jollies
off in Vegas and stuff, and she said she's quote
very remorseful and sorry for any harm she has caused.
That's the best she's facing forty years in prison. I

(50:26):
grew up super Catholic, and I'm thinking of the nuns
I knew and the idea of them, like stealing money
and going to Atlantic City the best. What a good
image in my head. I hate that that happened and
those people wasted their money, but a renegade nonegade none,
I just don't have. The thing that makes me really
upset is that the lack of detail of like how

(50:46):
she spent the money, because we just know the methodology
for the razzlement and the amounts that were spent. Like
I need to know, like did she have like a
fucking gambler persona that she adopted when she would go
out She's like the habit, it's off. I'm I'm like,
I'm head to toe him Versacey silk and ship, Like
I don't I need to know these other details like
what was she gambling onto? Like they're not wasting the

(51:09):
money the way I play roulette and uh, you know
with a direct line to the lord above. Oh she
comes like full yeah, it's not waste when you have
a faith. I wonder too, if the other nuns at
the convent were all of a sudden noticing like hey,
like where'd this eight hundred dollar blender come from? If
there was just like all of sudden like weird little

(51:29):
upgrades at the convent and stuff? Who stalled this bidet?
Someone in stall? I guess that was just a donation
from God, you know, just like all the luxury. Did
everyone have a Vita mix in their room this morning?
Did someone by a live tiger when this tiger came from? Ah? God?
I these are the details that like will help bring it.

(51:51):
But that's why it's it's good fodder for a podcast
to wildly speculate on what the nuns did, because I
knew that like there was I went to Calcic High
School and there was a group of they were mostly
like priests, and there weren't men. There weren't really nuns
that were like living on campus. But the way we'd
always look at them, like what do they do in
that house? Like they're just retired and likes our tuition

(52:12):
paying for them to just like yell from their window
to pull our pants up? Like what is going on,
like what what what does this one do? I went
to UM, I didn't go to the Catholic school. My
parents met at a Catholic school. I lived down the
block frombin Oh very nice, look at that super Catholic,
so you know. And I took Sunday school at that
same school where they met. And we had a nun

(52:35):
named sister Margaret who taught the Sunday school music class.
And I came home one day and I was finally
old enough to go like, I think this teacher of
ours is I think she might be like losing her
mind or something like it's making me sad. And my
dad was like, who is it? And I was like,
her name is sister Margaret. And he's like, sister Margaret
is still there. It's like yeah, he's like she had

(52:58):
dementia when she taught me early sixties, she already had
she was like already kind of unmoored my parents. I
think I think that was a moment where even my
parents were kind of like, what are we paying for?
Like this woman was this that was decades ago, That
was decades ago and it's still going on. Yeah. I
love the I also love the Catholic kind of loophole

(53:21):
where you just go to confession every day and so
you're like stealing money over the course of thirty years,
but you're just offloading that ship. You're offloading that guilt,
just like you know, the like Andy Dufrain getting rid
of the dirt out on the play or project. Yeah,
just like you know, she's just smuggling that ship out
a little bit. Just how many hell Mary's. I'll be

(53:42):
happy exactly. I got time now if we even go dark.
Have you guys had the Catholic upbringing experience that I
had last year of one of your childhood priests name
shows up in a document thanks published not Yeah, but
I also have not been paying attention. Yeah, I had
the like getting texts from old neighborhood kids like YO,

(54:04):
check this out and being like what And of course
it was the one who was the cool one col
it was the cool priest take gets down the Jersey
shore on the weekends. Whoa, my god. No, yeah, there's
always It's funny because even though I wasn't raised religious
at all, just like that ended up being like the
one school and my friends went to that my parents

(54:24):
could afford, so ended up going there. But I grew
up around a lot of Catholic kids too, and like
one family in particular who would have the priest over
like for dinner and things like that and would drink
at the house and just be like black out and
You're like and like in my mind, I was like,
is this what priests do? Like they can just get
funked up like this and then like eat all your
food and then like then the mom has to drive

(54:45):
him home like this is normal. And then he was
also like the cool one because like west Side connection
came out and he was like, all right, what side
and we're like whoa. But I don't I never knew
what happened to him, and I don't want to look
it up. Yeah, don't google his name until you're really ready.
So you're really ready because it was tough, and I try.
I'll try to go back to church. Every couple of years,

(55:06):
I'll like go back to church and be like maybe
I should get back in touch with this side of myself.
And then I'll be like three weeks in and it'll
be like, so every every priest in Pennsylvania at some
point or another had a child slave, And you're like what,
it's always the timing of it's always some horrific thing
happens right when I'm like, maybe I could the pope
is school next, got a cool pope? Now, maybe I'll

(55:26):
try to get and just horrific abuse just coming out
from the past, from the very recent past. All right,
let's uh one last story. Let's talk about the resurgence
of pop culture. Cereals Lucky Charms has come out with
low Key Charms in honor the new Loki streaming series,

(55:50):
which I mean, I don't hate it, I kinda you know,
it's there, it works right there for you. You know.
That's one of those ones where I think the idea
came before like the prompt you know, like they were like,
what if it was low Key Charms and then like
reached out General Mills reached out to Marvel as opposed

(56:13):
to like just trying to slam it together. For instance,
Ghostbusters After Life Cereal, that was one where they were
just like, I don't know, just like Misshapen Marshmallow ghosts,
they like no reason to exist there, But there is
a Ghostbusters Afterlife Cereal. Wasn't there a Ghostbuster Cereal in
the eighties? I think there was, it was there was

(56:35):
and I love. I mean I I remember my mind
being like blown because I was like, yes, move like that. Actually,
now that you think about it, that dictated a lot
of the cereals I would get when I was a kid,
if they were collaborating with like a movie that I liked.
Speaking of dictated, there was also an ET cereal that
is just ET colored baby dick shapes like it's there's

(56:59):
no other thing, no other way to describe it is
like the ET cereal. Yeah it looks like or like
little poops, but ET colored. So that draws the mind
to what part of ET is this? If this is
just like E T shaded, it's just like it's supposed
to be, like shriveled, shitty finger? Is that right? Put

(57:23):
butter and chocolate flavored? I guess yeah, maybe maybe that,
but then a cut off finger. I don't know. Just
never make your cereal a part of the body of
the thing, you know, you go with a theme as
opposed to a actual physical There was also so our
writer jam is making the case that this is a

(57:44):
return to the eighties when these child entertainment themed breakfast
cereals ruled the earth, and that there was also cabbage
patch Kids cereal, which I don't know if you guys
have the dock in front of you it. He included
a picture frightening down at the top of and they

(58:05):
truly look like they were cursed by the devil himself,
like just like kind of misshapen smiley faces. But oh
that's bad. Yeah, it's really bad, like the chocolate chips,
like weird pock marks, and you're like, what do I
eat this or pray over it? Yeah, if it came
to life, it would immediately ask you to kill it.

(58:27):
I feel like it's hard to bring up this pop
culture food crossover because cereals were pretty ubiquitous, But then
you mentioned Ghostbusters. Who thinks about the Ghostbuster cereal when
you can think about what I have to imagine was
the most successful pop culture food merger of all time,
which is Ecto Cooler, right, a drink that people wish
still existed beyond its Ghostbusters association, just because it was great.

(58:49):
Oh yeah, I'll be at the gates of Coca Cola
demanding Acto Cooler comeback like it. It was like a
tragedy when you couldn't get it at McDonald anymore. I
was like, what are they doing like this is this
was all I used to drink. I think they brought
it back for the last Ghostbusters relaunched very briefly, but

(59:09):
I'm shocked. I feel like that one should outlive. That's like,
you know, what's the song you know the band the
Archies and they have is it Sugar Sugar? Is there
Big Sugar Sugar? The number one song the year the
year that Gimme Shelter came out, And people don't realize
that band was created. That was supposed to be Archie
and Jugghead and Betty and Veronica in the band. That
was like a pop culture gimmick song. Yeah, and we

(59:32):
all just forget that because that song. So that I
feel like Ecto Cooler should be on the shelves and
then young people should look to our generation and be like,
why is it called Ecto Cooler? And we sit down,
Sit down, let us explain to you who Dad Accrod
was before the skulls full of Vodka. Let me tell
you about a little man named McK rick moranis who
he quit on us eventually, but he gave him. He

(59:54):
gave us all of them randomly punched in New York. Yeah,
it was heartbreaking and sad and totally necessary. Yeah, I
mean it's it really does feel because it was just
tangerine flavor, that was it, like high see, you know,
and it's like a subtle flavor difference. And I think
just like that, look, mere mention of it being Ecto

(01:00:15):
was enough to to get our to get our little
imaginations going. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know where we are. I think we're lost
until we can bring Ecto cooler back. Stay So stay
Puffed is not a real marshmallow brand, know, I think
that's from the Ghostbust. That's like not a right, I'm true.

(01:00:35):
I googled stay Puffed marshmallows and they do not. It's
only I was in elementary school and Ghostbusters came out.
This is the first learning of this. Maybe maybe I'm wrong. Officially, No,
I've never seen no you mentioned that I've never seen
a stay Puffed marshmallow. But I've never considered this in

(01:00:55):
my life. A group. Yeah, see this these are the thing. God.
See what happens when we don't question everything. We go
through life thinking this stay puffed marshmallow Man, it's based
off a real brand. Either way, like, I'm I'm very
curious if it is a real brand. I'm very curious,
it says Dan Ackroyd, conceived of the stay puffed marshmallow
Man for his initial script for the Ghostbusters movie. He
created the character, yeah, to show that quote. It seems

(01:01:17):
harmless and puffy and cute, but given the right circumstances,
everything can be turned black and become evil. I know
that the marshmallow Man is fictional. I'm curious if he
created the brand as well. It looks like it's a
fictional food. Yeah, and now I'm questioning everything. This is
a lot. It's the last episode of the podcast. Yeah, you, guys,

(01:01:38):
what where do we go from here? Someone just knocked
on my door. Guys, there's a government agent at my door,
he teld me. Now that I figured this out, I
have to go. Now. There's a guy who looks exactly
like Chris sitting down in his place, like a doppel
gang or that they created. Where's the Chris? Where's the
real Chris? Going? Well, what's so wrong with Willy Wonka

(01:01:58):
keeping all his candy he made on hold Ony too?
And what was wrong with the Alon muscos he's naturally
very funny? That Warrior sketch was genius. Oh fuck, I
heard so many people be like, actually, pretty good job.
He did a really good job. Made me mad. Yeah

(01:02:21):
when the bar is on the floor, yeah, sure, you
gotta work to put that bar down there though, you know, yeah,
he's gotta drop it. Just let gravity toutes Chris. It's

that I like is from at Uncle doom Er tweeted, fellas,
do the women have convinced you that cargo shorts are

(01:03:49):
unsexy because they don't want you carrying around useful tools
and trinkets. Don't be fooled. I've although someone who used
to have a pack to the break m cargo shorts. Uh,
it's just very hard to carry that many things these days.
But I appreciate this. They're trying to take away our power.
I used to carry a T shirt in one of

(01:04:10):
my cargo short pockets just because you swept through the
first one. Yeah, because like in Japan, the humidities fucked
up in the summer. You walk outside, I'm like this

Goo or Gal forgive me if I mispronounced it, but

track called not Be and a b I Out and
it's just got this like nineties house field to it
that is like so on the nose, but also her
like kind of spitting in Korean over it. It's just
it's like kind of this surreal thing of like, man,
what if we were partying doing warehouse, you know, parties

(01:05:37):
in sold in And that's exactly what the vibe of
this track is. So this is not be by Peggy Coop.
