(01:04):
Drugs are a big deal in Asia. Yeah, well it's
funny because they're loopholes to like m D m A
like if you cooked it up in your house, like
you could sell it in the street. And then like
only like like seven or eight years ago they tighten
that up like you could walk on the street and
some dude how the suitcase is like yeah MDMA, well,

person putting work kind of Man, I gotta start digging
into those. But super producer Nick Stump was like, hey,
maybe we don't think that A k is this year

(01:47):

just towards structure. All right, Well, we are thorough to

the phone earlier, and it wasn't even about blue Diamond almonds,
but the blues Diamond almonds came up. Oh yeah, people
bring it up to me. I call you blue Diamond Phillips.
Well yeah. And there was a man at like a
bagel store staring at me, just like staring, staring, staring,

(02:28):
And I went up and I was like almonds, and
he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. I
thought he was a fan of my Yeah, maybe it's
just a fan of my face symmetrical. Thank you. Actually
I feel like I've got a crooked eye. But all right,
you shout out to the wrapper cooking. Maybe there's an
eye lower. I don't know. There's definitely photos where I'm like,

(02:49):
bad eye is going somewhere, not like it's like where
it's perfectly. I think that I has a career, and
that's why I say that I is going somewhere. Do
you even know what I'm talking about? I think it's
obviously we are our own worst critics when looking at
pictures of ourselves. God, I like a bad picture of

(03:10):
me from time to time. Though. Let the people know
and I'm like you, they're not beautiful every day most
most days. Yes, is that a prince? No, okay, I
don't mean Prince the singer, I mean Tennis. Yes, he does.
Look like it's a company called Palace. Oh okay, alright,

(03:30):
hello Palace. Hello, Hey guys. How you doing all right? Megan?
We're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
couple of things we're talking about today. We're talking about
that burnout article by Anne Helen Peterson from BuzzFeed that
a lot of people are talking about. It's about the
millennials being the burnout generation. And yeah, we're just gonna

(03:51):
dig into that, talk about our feelings when it comes
to being burnt out. We're gonna have a quick check
in with Robert Evans, host of Behind the Bastard is
about the story of the Saudi eighteen year old who
fled her family to Thailand, and uh, super producer around
of Hosnie is going to come on because uh we

(04:12):
wrote an article back at Cracked about a young woman
who had to flee her family when she visited them
in Pakistan, and super producer around of Hosni. He was
talking about how this is a a thing that happens
a lot, people having to you know, escape their home country,
which crazy. So we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna

(04:34):
talk about just the general clusterfuckery and the White House,
Mike Pence and NonStop being caught in lies. We're still
decompressing from the wild press conferences that happened last night,
so we won't talk about those. The addresses to the
nation or maybe they haven't. Hadden and yeah, we'll talk

(04:57):
about the wall, We'll talk about Kevin Spacey all of
at him more. But first, Megan, what is something from
your search history that's really about who you are? Well,
you know what, I just got engaged. Congratulations, thank you.
I was blinded by the light. Thank you. You know what.
I was just beautiful. We're all a little rude when

(05:17):
we get engaged. I think, because he was like, is
it big enough? I go, well, it could always be bicker,
but that's not nice. But that's not what I mean.
I mean, that's how I feel about sandwiches, like everything like.
But now I'm like, yes, I don't want to be
on stage and people be like, why is she doing
stand up. She's obviously a sultan, so I'm happy it's
more modest. I've been looking at lots up for now

(05:45):
and I've put it next to other people's were like,
what the fun. So it's a lot of wedding a
lot of wedding dresses. Right now, I'm going wedding dress shop.
Traditionally you do some traditional listening modern what you're feeling.
I think it'll be really traditional. I mean there was
a lot of your listeners will probably not care about
this for a long time. It was strapless sweetheart cut.

(06:08):
I hate that, um and I hope I never see
it ever again. UM. So I'll be doing a little
spin on strap whatever, like lots of straps, lots all straps.
But no, I'm not going to have like a suit
or a cape stress. Okay, I mean it wasn't that
dress like every and it was like fitted. A lot

(06:29):
of people had the bedazzled bell. But it is what
I mean. You're married, you've gone through the process. They
lie to you. Some of these people are liar. What
do you mean some of these like they're having for you.
They're lying. They just tell you I've started. Well, no,
actually I want to I want a show where I
tell people it doesn't look good, because I've been at

(06:51):
bridal appointments now and people are trying on dresses and
I'm like, please, don't get that trap, like I don't
know them, I don't know who these friends are. I'm
looking at the friends what they're wearing. I'm like, why
are you why are you listening to this? That ain't it, honey,
that ain't it. And I'm here to help. I mean
just lost souls. My wife when my first job out

(07:15):
of school was working at ABC News and they had
that show what would You Do? Oh yeah, yeah, they
It's still on sporadically, but they cast my wife to
do like one of the hidden camera things where she
went wedding dress shopping and just put on like wildly
dresses and then like would see if her friends were honest,

(07:37):
and it was even her friends, not even oh, if
your friends are not honest. Then they were like, well,
if that's what you want to do, because it was
she was saying yeah, she was like, this is you guys,
I found the dress, this is what I want to
do And it was a pants suit. Uh yeah, they
were they were being respectful of her. But in a

(07:58):
way that, yeah, if she was being real, she would
have realized they were not. I've only gone dressed shopping once.
And the woman was like, it was the day after
we got engaged. I got so drunk the night we
got engaged, I puked my bed um and then went like.
The woman was like, do you have a Pinterest board?
I was like, oh, no, I don't. I'm not even
alive right now right. I also got very sick then

(08:21):
night I got engaged, sick drinking, I think it was.
But then I had the flu for like forty eight hours,
so I think we also like right after we got engaged,
I had a limo. We went and drank champagne out
of cups that it was pretty clear we're not clean.
I was just like, yeah, but what's the worst that
can happen? Where Paul kills that? Yeah? Yeah, is that

(08:42):
a tadpole? Whatever I've said, alcohol kills it? So yeah,
truly famous last words. And champagne No maybe like ever
clear sanitized proper a limousine glass that is eco lab
could there could have been like semen and that oh

(09:03):
for sure, there for sure was. I had the effects.
I got very sick. Made her take me up on
the sickness and in health thing. Yeah, she was like,
I'm rethinking, Yes, what is something you think is underrated?
I think the Indianapolis Colts, But you know what, I

(09:24):
don't want them to be rated because the best thing
you can do for any team, and I'm not even
saying this as my own team, is ignore them. That
really lights uh likes a fire when you start talking
about them, that's bad because you want them on their
worst behavior. So I actually think we're rated correctly. Okay, okay,
but they're at amazing though, and Andrew luck Is and

(09:48):
their defense. I think the Deep really impressive in the
first round of the playoffs. Shout out to the Indianapolis
Could I've really made this segment a lot about me? Well,
that the whole the whole point. Okay, right, what is
something you think is overrated? Bird box listen. I haven't
seen it. I'm not gonna see it's not going to

(10:08):
see it. I don't like the way it's being marketed
to me. I don't think the Kwan wanted to make
memes about it. I don't think the Internet like Netflix,
You've got some dirty money and some dirty places, and
you are forcing it down our throats and that's making
me boycott it. Like, oh, so you think they put
kan onto? Yes, oh I think all of them bird
Box challenge, you think that just like no, this ship

(10:31):
is fabricated, they made it up. I would have found
this movie on my own. And now I am actively
avoiding it because I think they tricked us into something.
Remember when everybody was like putting their pictures up to
see what while twinning is happening now, but then to
see like what renaissance painting they were, And then people
were like, this is actually so they can scan our face,

(10:52):
so they can find where we are all times. Bird Box,
you're up to something. Wow, for sure, I don't like it. Yeah,
I haven't seen it. I'll probably watch it just because
I've heard about it. But what is funny? Like when
I was in Japan, they were marketing it and like
I was in this uh this part of Tokyo where
there was like this huge screen playing like a trailer
for it, and it starts off with like her screaming

(11:13):
and like a child crying and like if you're just
out and a bottling, you're gonna like twist your neck
and like yeah, and it worked because you thought some
ship was going down, and then you watched it was
like bird box and wow, they really they don't know
how to prey on people's That's like songs that have
sirens in them, because you'll hear and be like, if

(11:33):
you're driving, that's dangerous. Like I don't want I'm in
a in a large place outside like Tokyo with thousands
of people around me. I don't want to hear Sandra
Bullock screeching because you don't know it's Sandra Bullock and
you guys, this is Sandy. I go, Okay, I'm not
afraid to take a breath, but I think it's a woman.

(11:56):
Have you ever heard there was a mother in a
train station in Milan. I was, I was like stopping
there on the way and I was, I was going
to mind for conflict free diamonds. Um, wait, where do
you go a wedding dress shopping? Actually was like I

(12:17):
think I was eighteen and was like trashy and trying
to like steal weed across the borders. I was not.
This was not unlike a It was very like broke
down Palace trip Um. But there was a woman screaming
her son's name, like bloody and like makes me never
want to go to Milan ever again. Like I'm scarred

(12:38):
by Like I don't know if she found her son,
like she lost him in a crowded train station. It
was I mean, that is like a terrifying So yeah,
to just be playing that as it's weird because everyone
I saw everybody's head turn when that happened, because everyone
was like, you know, it was like mall music. And
then like no, like you just hear that, and I

(12:59):
was like, what the fun Maybe I was like maybe
in the seventies. I mean, I know Japan doesn't have
a mass shooting issue like we do here, but it's
like we're living in a time where like being out
in public is sometimes very frightening for people. I get
scared going in the movies. What was in Mary Poppins, Like,
I hope I don't go out like this. You were
in Mary Poppins? No, no, no, no, no. I was

(13:19):
just I was just sitting there. Actually, the man next
to me, thirty seconds into the movie turns to his
girlfriend and goes, it's a musical, and then and then
was furious. Stayed in the movie, stayed in the theater,
clutching his jacket at one point, hands on his head.
Oh my god. Really, And I'm like, sir, how did

(13:41):
you not know? Pins? And even if it even if
you didn't know it was a musical, like what Lynn Manuel,
isn't it? Do you think we're picking him for his acting?
That was false advertising because I thought I assumed that
it was Likeragilestice he was going to be having the rhymes,
and instead it was not written by him at all. Right,

(14:04):
he had like a little rat break out one of
the songs I think he did. Yeah, he had a
he had a rap segment. I just like the idea
of this dude being so mad at his spouse or
partner whatever, being like and it's like, you know that woman,
That woman has sat through every fucking adventure and has
probably done it with a smile and been like, oh, yeah,

(14:27):
I liked me disappear, you know that. Yeah, she's probably
being supportive. And it's like this is the one thing
she wanted to see because she watched it with her
grandmother who's now passed. And you're going to on it
like I'm gonna pull out my hair transplants over this.
That's Terrible's like you only sex after this y toxic masculinity.

(14:47):
What is a myth? What's something people think it's true,
you know to be false, something that I know to
be I think bread is fine for you. I think
you can eat bread. Yeah, bread is wonderful. I don't
know why when bread became the enemy? Um. I love bread.
I eat bread all the time. Yeah. How long could
you go without bread? Um? Like? Because is there a

(15:09):
more meaningful starch to you? Because some people like I
could not eat bread forever, just I have to have
rice or like I have potato. I honestly think of
them as the same. Like all that that part of
the pyramid is all lovely to me. What could I
could probably go without pasta for a little bit, A
little bit, A little bit I could do. I could
not have a noodle for like ten days. Yeah is

(15:32):
that a long time? That sounds like you were heavy
with the noodles. Yeah. I love a noodle. I love
a rice. I love bread. I mean it's just hard
to just do no no cars. I think that's the myth.
It's like stop. I mean, I'm sure there is yet. Look,
I mean they're science to back up certain things, but
at the end of the day. Look, if you're happy,

(15:53):
you know, that's that's all that matters. And some people
are like, well, you know, I don't have brid when
I got to restaurants, and that's what I'm like, I do.
I asked for more, I get more. I always ask
for more chips, and like keep the chips coming. M
everything in moderation, you guys, including smoking. Guys, like, let's
get over. Smoking is fine for you, just don't right

(16:16):
right you shooting up the meth that Democratic donors the
second black man to die in his apartment. So listen.
I watched like the New you know l a news
story about it last night. His lawyer was on. Now
his lawyer is saying that he first of all, they
kept saying a house, and then they showed it and

(16:37):
I was like, this is an apartment that doesn't even
have central air, you know, like I'm seeing a window
unit poking out and this means that don't I want
more for a horse? First of all, I know, and
then not his main residence. Okay, shoot the people up.
But his lawyer was saying that he has opened his
doors to people that are hard on their luck, and

(17:01):
part of the like side effects of that is sometimes
people o d in your house and like, I don't know, Well,
they found one of the people, the first person who died,
Jamal Moore, the woman who is the lawyer for his family.
Like they have like his journal entries and he like
graphically describes how this dude got him hooked on onto

(17:21):
meth and he on meth. No, I don't know. His
fantasy could just be like having these like people get
into like a fiend state and just trying to like
the power play of giving them the drugs and then
having sex with them. It's it's really really like traffic scary.
It's on some like like there are people outside saying

(17:41):
like this is on some get out type ship, like
if you see somebody going in there, warned them about
this person, and a lot of when there are people
other people have said like you know, he's kind of
known to want to like party and play. Is he
openly gay? Okay? Because I saw that there was like
a demonstration out there and they were like yelling at
the neighbors like your complicit and this woman's like what

(18:03):
they like live for stories away from him, Like I
don't know what the funk is going on in other
people's homes. But for people who don't know. Edward Buck
is a big Democratic donor who a lot of candidates
have had to give his donations back to him because
he had somebody to have a drug overdose in his
apartment two years ago. That person, like Miles said, had

(18:26):
a journal entry that was like, this is the dude
who got me hooked on drugs. He actually injected them.
And now very recently, another young black man was found
dead of a drug. This man was older at but
they were saying like who care, Yeah, yeah, but yeah,
like it's just it's just one of those things too,
were the first person who died. His death wasn't thoroughly investigated,
despite like a lot of information. One person dies in

(18:50):
your house, like, guys, we got to clean up our act.
But when it's like sex and drug thing, like you know,
people like that can't help. And wealthy white man. His
lawyer looked like a Disney villain too. He was his
hair was like and he had a crazy name. Like
I just was like, I don't this lawyer's bad. He's good,
like good, I would hire him, but he bad. He's

(19:11):
like I will defend Satan and co. Yeah. Absolutely, he
was like listen. He likes he and right is his
favorite color. He looks good. All right, let's talk briefly
about this burnout article that people are talking about. Were
you guys familiar with it? I've been. I've been seeing
lots of millennials reacting to it as right about how

(19:32):
we as millennials are. We're in a constant state of
being burnt out because we're always on the clock, we
need to be reachable by mobile phone. There's also the
like you always feel like you should be tweeting or
doing something on social media to build your brand, and
that that just leads to this feeling of burnout. Um

(19:53):
that I don't necessarily know is specific to the generation
as much as it's just specific to the world. You
know a lot of people who are you know, older
than me, who lived this life and always well. But
I think the thing that might be a little more
specific to us generationally is like the lack of security
in terms of careers, and there's other things because we

(20:14):
were coming out, like we're joining the workforce on either
side of the financial crisis where we had limited uh opportunity,
and then also like the weight of not having health
insurance and all these other costs of living now that
are purely like new things for our generation where our
parents are like, hey, I was able to go to
college and this, that and the other way and also

(20:36):
provide for a family coming up, the economy was strong,
and now it's just like a lot of young people
having to balance many different things and not making and
making sure that all of the bills are paid. Yeah,
you know. Yeah, generationally, I agree, it's like the middle
classes shrinking, no matter what age you are. And unfortunately

(20:58):
a lot of people who post college tend to be
middle class because you're you are having to pay off
debt and you're also trying, like, you know, I'm thirty
two years old, about to be thirty three. I can
take trips, I can you know, I can live freely.
Could I buy a house? Fuck? No, you know, And
part of that is I live in Los Angeles. I

(21:19):
could buy a house and like Topeka, Um, but we're
also fleeing sort of the center of the country a
little bit too. So a lot of millennials have choose
to live in more expensive places. So some of it
is sort of just environmental, some of it is societal.
But yeah, is it the internet? Probably? Yeah, it seems
people really want to like you go on vacation. Those

(21:40):
are the times you're like really or you're just over
the holidays, but like everybody is on their phones more.
It's like more Instagram stories about your nieces. Look at
these palm trees where I'm laying out, Like you almost
need to have rules if it's something that stresses you
out to be like, you gotta unplug at some point. Yeah,

(22:00):
that was the thing that really resonated with me. She
wrote everything good is bad and bad is good. Like
feeling like you're fucking up when you're supposed to be
relaxing because you're not working, and then only feeling okay
about yourself when you're working your ass off, like because
you're like, oh, I'm justifying my existence exactly. I was like,
definitely ill, I mean not definitely. That's the over exaggeration.

(22:22):
But you can hear from my voice. I probably over
exaggerate in times of like when I want pity. But
I was really really sick, couldn't get out of bed
for two days, and I was like, I feel like
such a piece of ship, and it's like I can't
do anything. I'm What are the rules in which it's
okay to be in capacity. Yeah, and so you sort
of almost have to like embrace being sick. I'm like, oh,

(22:43):
I'm gonna watch seven episodes of ninety fiance and it's
fine because I can't go anywhere. Those who disobeyed the
queen will die, you know. So I've seen the finale,
I just haven't seen the tell all yet. Its spicy.
I can't. I mean, she needs to spin off, she
needs her own show. She is TV gold. I have

(23:07):
no idea what you're talking about. I don't worry. That's
why his body is the craziest. I've never seen a
man in shape like that. He's in a good way,
in a bad way, but it's it's you know, when
you see a pear shaped man and you're taken aback.
I think that's why Washington was able to be our

(23:28):
first president. If we had been living in an arrow
with like technology where we could see photos, you'd be like,
I don't know if a man with wide set hips
like that can be Washington. Washington was pear shaped. He
had a very feminine body. Yeah. The other place where
the argument about it being a generational thing into focus is, uh,

(23:50):
what in the discussion, which actually takes up most of
the article, just the other generation and media's version of
millennials and being lazy and I'm reliable or late for things,
are unable to accomplish basic tasks, and it's like we're
like coming into a shitty economy. The workplace is like

(24:11):
a more hostile place than it's ever been in technology
has made our lives more difficult than they've been in
your experience, Yeah, the errand paralysis thing was really kind
of what struck me too, was sort of like the
idea that like, yeah, they were talking about there was
that piece that came out where a bunch of money
was like I don't know if I can go on
the midterms, Like I don't know if I can handle it,

(24:33):
and people like, oh my god, can you believe this?
Whereas they're also looking at how increasingly like millennials like
we've found ways to do things more efficiently, but things
that require like mailing shit in and those other things
just like we just freeze up. Like they were talking
about one person like hundreds of dollars that didn't of
clothing that didn't fit because they couldn't just get their
ship together enough to do it because these are tasks

(24:55):
that like require a lot of energy but low playoff. Yeah,
I'm wearing a broad right now that does not fit
because I was like, I don't know how to send
it back, and like, I wear it, I own it.
It's my I wear every day. Does not fit, isn't comfortable,
but I'm like, you know what, it was sent to
my house. It's fine. Then mo Megan some money so
she can get a new ring. I do think that

(25:16):
if there had been the Internet thirty years ago, there
would have been articles about like baby boomers, Like, I
think it's just we're so insulated in our like thought.
We just analyze things so much more and I think
a lot of it to a fault. And by the way,
there were articles about how baby boomers with pieces of
ships and there are different arguments because they were they

(25:38):
were right. Look at these turns out those articles were right. Sorry,
baby boomers. There's just this job posting in an article
about this article that I wanted to read that I
think gets it, like something sort of the mindset that
caused the problem we're describing. Yeah, so there's someone posted
this job posting. A year old entrepreneur is detailing the

(25:59):
requirement to be his part time assistant. He says, if
you want to clock in and clock out of your job,
this isn't for you, and reminds people that high performers
work until their tasks are done, not just until the
clock runs out. I don't know. Yeah, well, you know,
I understand that to a point, and I don't write because,
like I see people younger people to have just terrible

(26:20):
work ethic in general, and I think maybe that's what
they're getting at. But the idea that it's like you
are not allowed to separate your personal time from your
work time is an absurd thing to sort of ask
of someone in just to be someone's assistant year old entrepreneur.
But I also see people who are like at other
jobs I've worked at, where young people are like wildly
like just literally like trying to run the clock out

(26:41):
and then be like all right, I gotta go, don't
call me and don't can't do anything. But maybe they're
just taking care of themselves. Year old is just dickhead,
you know, like I've seen, you know, we live in
l A. We've met assistance of very very famous people,
and some of them I would say, I'm really really happy.
I don't like their listen. Is it winning four hours? Yeah?
But are they gonna text me at two am and

(27:03):
be like I want a milk bar crack pie? Now,
they're like respectful, normal human beings that understand boundaries. This
sounds like he wants to do it for the sake
of like I work hard, you work, and this is
a work hard, play hard, or just kind of like
I'm gonna fucking just boss you the funk around. That's
all I need. I want to be able to yell
a yeah. And what is his business? He probably makes

(27:24):
like silly swim trunks. Yeah. And check out the article,
the Burnout article. If if any of this resonates with you,
I will say the first person they interview is a
millennial talking about how he can't vote, and he he
was the least relatable of all of all the complaints,
So don't get to the person who let the clothes
rot in their closet. I was like, bro, I'm so

(27:46):
bad at return. I'll just be like, I'll make it work.
My dog will eat fucking like mouse food. And by
the way, it's worth going through like this whole article
and think about which of these things are good for
corporations and which of them are bad? Every single one
is like good for corporation. We've just turned in the
get more, they get more, Like we keep the ship
because we don't want to return it. And also we're

(28:07):
like the perfect worker be is like it's it's all
just America buying more and more into the you know,
corporate ocracy. Got to get a work life balance. We
got to look at these denmarks. And you know these
Nordic countries that listen, do they have the highest rate
of alcoholism? Sure, they have the most vacation days. Yes,

(28:28):
you know, like come on, well, they'll say. That's why.
Another reason why democratic socialism is becoming more popular amongst
millennials is because all this all these pressures of having
to provide your own healthcare and like going bankrupt, has
got people been like, hold the funk up, man, this
is stressing me the funk out. Why Why are we
the only fucking country where I have to worry about? Right?
And so I think that's like, you know, I think

(28:50):
as part of the self care is realizing the things
that we actually shouldn't be responsible for. And what you know,
the corporations are employers and government needs to actually step
in now. Well, and I think women, you know, women
talk a lot about there was a British article that
came out about safety work, and so women are having
to do even added number of like I have to
go this way so I don't get fucking killed, Like

(29:12):
there's all these extra things. Were just like, oh, I'm
gonna try and survive truly, truly, like I can't live
certain places, walk certain streets. Somebot that like New York right,
like the community they called it, like the Woman's Commuter
talks about how women have to be more more consider
it or not consider it, but have to consider the
risks of like the modes of transportation they take or

(29:33):
the way they get to someone. I would pick apartments
in New York where I was like, listen, this place
is more expensive, but I'll be taking less cars home
because it won't be I won't be walking fourteen blocks
from train station to house at too am because you,
I mean, you cannot do that. It's it is too frightening.
All right, we are going to take a quick break

(29:56):
and we'll be right back. M hm. And we're back,
and we are now joined by super producer on a
Hosnier and host of Behind the Bastards Robert Evans, what's up, guys, Hey? Uh,

(30:22):
So I wanted to talk to you guys about the
Saudi teenager Rahafon who is basically ran away from her
family barricaded herself in a Bangkok airport hotel room to
prevent officials from sending her back to her family. Uh.

(30:43):
And Robert, I wanted to get you on specifically because
we kind of covered a similar ish story of a
young woman having to run away from her family in
Pakistan basically and and using a hotel iss or of
an underground railroad a while back. Yeah, yeah, we had.

(31:03):
We had that woman talked to us about her family
essentially like trying to force her into marriage and needing
to escape through this hotel. And they kind of this
pack Pakistani hotel like already had like situated, like they
had plans in place for this sort of thing because
it happened often enough. And we did another article a
couple of years earlier, uh, with a woman who lives

(31:24):
in or lived in Denmark, uh, and so grew up
in you know, a pretty pretty western nation, but whose
family was very fundamentalist and who was afraid of essentially
being murdered for the fact that she wasn't religious and
that she was dating guys and you know, doing all
these things that her family had forbidden her from doing.
And her fear was that she would go back home
to Pakistan on vacation at some point and essentially never

(31:47):
come back, which which happens to a number of women
who are in that sort of situation. So we've we've
dealt with, or we dealt with back at Cracked a
couple of different women coming forward with stories of this
sort of thing. Yeah, and and you were saying that
you're familiar with, Oh, yeah, it happens all the time
where you know, like the Dubai, the King of Dubai's
daughter shik Latifa bin Muhammad al Muktam tried to escape

(32:10):
because she was basically being held held in a hospital,
just drugged because she was considered too wild by her father.
And you know, there was another story of a woman
This was last year. She was trying to get to
Australia from Kuwait and she was held up in the
Philippines airport and basically sent back to Saudi Arabian has
not been heard from since Jesus Christ. So those are

(32:30):
the stories of when this doesn't work out well um
or doesn't work out for the for the person trying
to escape. But it sounds like Rahaf did all of
the things she would need to do to ensure that
that couldn't happen to her. Like she she learned her
English was good enough that she was able to get
across the details of her situation and like the videos,

(32:50):
and she was smart enough to like she had a
really I think I think the smartest thing she did
was record herself in that barricaded hotel room, because the
visuals of that were just like, of course that was
going to to take off, and like once you get
I think you got something like forty five Twitter followers
in a couple of hours, which is like, if you're
a young woman in her situation, that's the only thing

(33:10):
that's going to protect you is creating enough of a
media spectacle that they can't just send you home. Does
this I mean it does it ever happen to sons?
I mean it must, but it tends to happen more
and more to women and daughters. I think we we've
definitely actually interviewed uh some young men who were you know,

(33:31):
living in more fundamentalist cultures who were in the closet
and you know, having to hide that from their family
and had often had to consider, you know, running away
from their home country because yeah, again it's it's a
situation where you're fighting for your life. It's not uh,

(33:52):
you know, I want to be able to go to
the mall. It's like Jesus, these people kill me right
for being who you are. But they have the men,
and these situations have a lot more options. I met
a young Saudi Arabian male couple when I was in
the airport in a mon Jordan's who had been living
in San Francisco for most of the time, uh and

(34:16):
who something was clearly going on, but came back to
Saudi Arabia every couple of years to go see their families.
And it seemed like the situation was, you know, their
families had enough money that they could pretty much do
what they wanted and it was better for everyone if
they just did their thing, you know, outside of Saudi
Arabia and came back every couple of years to keep
up appearances like and I don't think someone like Rahaf

(34:38):
would would have that opportunity, even though she comes from
that prominent and wealthy of a family. Now I feel
like the men get to go on they basically go
on vacation, and then if a woman tries, it's like, no,
you're a woman. You need to understand your place. You
can't just be running around with anyone like your your
places in your home with your family until you're basically
arranged to be married to someone. Right. Yeah. So now

(35:01):
like Thailand, are they keeping her at the embassy or
is she going to be what? What's what's her fate
so far? I mean, she's been handed over to the
care of the United Nations and she's somewhere in Bangkok
with them right now, and I think from what I've
read it could take five to seven days to get
a decision. It sounds like they're going to basically put
her plea of of asylum status over to the Australians

(35:24):
in sort of a formal way. And it sounds like,
from what Australia said, if for no reason other than
the prominence of this story, they're probably going to grant
her asylum status. So that would be my guess is
that she winds up living living down under mate so
for her a happy ending. But you know an ending
where she survives. But for many if you don't go viral,

(35:46):
you're sent back. Yeah. I mean, like one of the
girls of the time about last year who got caught
up DNA Alle. She didn't have a chance, and she
was trying to go viral. There was like a hashtag
save dan Alley, and yeah, she couldn't do it, and
she got back and she hasn't been heard from since.
She had videos posted where she didn't show her face
because she didn't want anyone, you know, to like actually

(36:07):
report her if they saw her. Um, but if she
if this woman gets sent back, there is a chance
she will be killed for her behavior. So yeah, all right,
well thanks for joining us, Robert, And obviously it's a
horrible story, but I think one that a lot of
people aren't aware is happening in the world, like in

(36:28):
the modern world. And yeah, thanks for joining us, Anna.
I mean, you hope they become activists, Like the more
that can get out, the more that they can share
their story and be like, no, this is what's happening.
I know where this girl lives. This girl lives. This
girl lives, because if there's no survivors of it, then
there's no one to carry on this horror, right Yeah. Well,

(36:50):
and then if there's an enough international pressure because you know, like,
yeah it's on I mean us are we even a
part of the u N I mean on paper? Right? Well,
that brings us back to our totally woke government here
in these United States. So there's just a total clusterfuck

(37:12):
over the government shut down over basically there was a
deal the Republicans and Trump was willing to take and
then Russia, Limbaugh and and Culture, who apparently run our government,
made fun of Trump, and he decided not to take
it down the government. So there's just all sorts of

(37:35):
you know, it's more of this administration just living in
a separate reality. Yeah, well, this is like the thing
where they clearly thought, Okay, we'll shut the government down,
we'll have the Democrats by the balls, they're going to collapse,
and then we'll get our racist monument erected. Uh And
And what's just sad is like the logic around it

(37:55):
is so transparently flawed about just manufacturing a crisis that
there is this crisis at the southern border. And everyone, everyone,
ask anyone that's like their vibe, ask everyone. They say,
we need the wall. Everyone agrees, President of Condom, all
the all the last president, all the living presidents. Trump
was like, they told me we need this wall, right,

(38:16):
and then cut to all of the spokespeople for these
presidents be like, funk out of here. We've no one
ever said this to him. We don't even talk to him.
Which was funny because on Monday night, uh, Mike Pence
did an interview at Hallie Jackson from MSNBC and she
just pressed him in the best way possible over the like,
oh some presidents, which one's yeah, So listen, listen to

(38:38):
this full core press from Hallie Jackson which former presidents
told President Trump as he said that he should have
built a wall. All their representatives have denied that that
was the case. Well you you you, I know the
President has said that that was his impression from previous
a previous presidents. I know, I know, I've seen clips

(38:58):
of previous isn't it's talking about the importance of border security,
the importance of addressing the illegal immigration. Everyone telling the
President though, right, but look, you know, honestly, the American people,
I didn't know he was allowed to sit with this lady. Yeah,
I though that wasn't allowed. I'm she's epeeing it. Okay,

(39:21):
I'm going to be a p A on set today
so he can sit and talk to you. She's running sound.
He sucked this up from the get go though, because
it's always been Mexico's gonna pay, Mexico's gonna pay. And
it's like, honey, if you're going to say that, you
gotta vet that. And the president has since the beginning
of this time, the Mexican president like, we are not

(39:41):
paying for it and under no circumstances. And so then
he's doubled down with this shutdown, been like I wanted
the shutdown. I'll keep the shutdown going. I'll be happy
to do it for years. And it's like that's so
you've now been incorrect, cause this like financial catastrophe for

(40:03):
thousands of people, made a huge issue about something that
isn't a pressing issue right now with all of the
other issues going on. And then I wonder do ann
and Rush like are they like happy when he when
he renigs on something because they made fun of him,
Like do they count that as a win or do

(40:24):
they not just saying like with like someone on Twitter
and be like yo, I clapped back at this person
and then they took it back. I feel power and
doesn't want the wall. She's like very against the wall
from she's just but her thing was like, you campaigned
on this, you're not going to deliver it. Oh, that's
the end of your presidence. Oh and that's hilarious and true.

(40:47):
Did you not know that? Is no one telling you that?
It's one of those things too where it's like you're
saying it's causing a lot of problems, like you, you know,
you have hundreds of thousands of people who's are getting paid,
who who aren't getting paid, and then you have people
who are at risk of losing their like federal assistance
for food stamps or if they're in housing programs that
are just gonna lapse because the government isn't running. And

(41:07):
I think now you're seeing, like even Republicans starting to
really get tired because of like, look, all right, you tried,
you tried to do it with the wall. It's not happening, fam,
So let's let's move on. And Sarah Sanders went on
to What's his What's the Boy's name? Chris Wallace's show
on Fox, and even he was like having to check
her on these like really bogus talking points, because even

(41:30):
to the right, it's starting to get tired about like
this isn't like you're just saying this about the wall
and you're trying to act like it's about board and security.
But let's be real, this is the wall is only
about the wall. This is like an interesting exchange between
Chris Wallace of Fox News and Sarah Sanders getting into
it over you know, some really bogus statistics they've been
throwing around. Roughly nearly four thousand known or suspected terrorists

(41:53):
come into our country illegally, and we know that our
most vulnerable point of entry stick. I didn't know if
you're going to use it, but I studied up on this.
Do you know where those four thousand people come or
where they're captured? Airports? Not always certainly. The Department says
there hasn't been any terrorists that they found coming across
by land, and it's by sea. It's all of the above.

(42:15):
The one thing that may internship have into this country
is our southern border, and we have to protect it
and the more. And they're not coming across the southern border.
They're coming and they're being stopped at a number of ways.
There's certain labs. There are eight eight examples they said,
she's been saying four thousands, So it's eight of the

(42:36):
four thousand were people who were suspected of terrorists on
a watch list that were stopped to the southern border.
All the other thousands, like Fox News is Chris Wallace,
that are coming through the airports, and you know who's
not getting paid now that the government is shut down
t s a. So the idea that they are worried

(42:58):
about because everybody's worried about American security. Nobody wants to
be killed, nobody wants to die. But the idea that
that is what the stakes are for them is insane
because they're clearly they're just pretending that's what the stakes.
Undermining your voice is bad too. I don't mean to.

(43:19):
I mean she's not going to get voice over work
when this is done. It's like very like when I
heard it, I was like, wait, is that Chris Wallet
Like it's like it's bad. It's like, you gotta she
needs to She got like a froggy in there. There
is a chance to give them the benefit of the doubt.
There is a chance that they did not know t
s A was not going to be getting paid when

(43:41):
the government was shut down, Because there's increasing evidence they
didn't know what a government shutdown was. Yeah, like what
it would mean, guarantee, they didn't know. Well, like quite literally,
there's like a Washington Post article they're saying, this is
a quote from them. The Trump administration, which had not
anticipated a long term shutdown, recognized only this week the
breath of the potential impact, several senior administration officials said.

(44:04):
The officials said they were focused now on understanding the
scope of the consequences and determining whether there is anything
they can do to intervene. They're only now starting to
look at the consequences of government down, Like three weeks
into a government shutdown. I bet he thinks because they
did this, it was like the day after Thanksgiving something.
I think he was like, listen, everybody's on holiday break,

(44:28):
we'll shut it down. Like he doesn't know that the
government has to run every day, that there's not like
a snow day. Everyone everybody kids are in school. Baron,
I don't. I haven't seen Baron in a year, So
he's off. So I guess we don't need the government
for like two weeks because it's Christmas time and everybody
celebrates Christmas. I made Starbucks tell everybody they had to

(44:49):
celebrate Christmas, so we'll shut it down. And now it's
like hey bou, we're back, um and we need the
government again right well, coming off of holiday where you're
supposed to spend a bunch of money and we're not
getting our first And this is also yeah, this is
a tough time financially. It's the danger too of having
people who work at this, at these high levels who

(45:10):
can't advocate for these people who are going to be
most affected by this, or like I'm sure for Steve
Manuch and how the fund is he going to care
about people's snap grants are like oh food stamps, Oh
those run out. Yeah. We almost need to put like
a some one smart person in the administration, just as
like a spy not even reporting back to us, but
be like you gotta listen, you've got to help them,

(45:31):
like we they're fucking with us. Now we need one
little who is the smartest person. I don't know, they
all they all leave. That was supposed to be uh Ivanka,
she she going to jail? Um and this kisses me
off too, because it's like I want to be talking
about Russia. I don't want to be talking about this wall.
I want to be doing a countdown, like the ball

(45:53):
drop for Russia indictments. That's what's I'm having fun with that.
I want to be talking about the substance of what
AOC is saying, not her dancing videos and this made
up wall issues. This whoop, Oh god, damn. I mean
this is sort of I guess this should be filed

(46:13):
under no ship because even in sixteen when Trump was
like becoming the nominee, he didn't realize that he had
to buy law, have a transition team in place to
figure out how to prepare to run the federal government.
And first he had Chris Christie put some people together,
and then he like blew that up because he's like,
they're stealing my money. Is what these people were doing.
They were getting paid because they were getting paid to

(46:35):
figure out how to transition. Why does he need a
transition team. He's just going to keep all of Obama's people, right,
That's literally what he thought. He thought, like they just
worked there and he pulls up, He's like I'm the
new boss, and they're like, no, man, you you have
to put a transition team together to figure out how
you are going to change this total not the torch

(46:56):
being handed over to U as president. He thought he
just he inherits. I mean, in his defense, I didn't
know that either, But I didn't run for president. You know,
I'm at home brushing my hair, right, so he how
many how many brushes do you? Actually? I really don't
brush my hair. Um. I said that I brushed to
come here because it was looking a mess. Um. But

(47:16):
this is the first time I've had makeup on in
a while, and I ran a brush through my hair
for you guys. So that was my transition team. Or
Frederick Pakai had another fancy hair brush Cohn Air. No, Frederick,
there's like I don't know, Yeah, yeah, there's a bald
person I like fantasized about using hair products. It's just

(47:38):
wild that there's a brush and an iconic movie with
the same name. I hadn't even thought. I didn't even
I never even looked at it. It was like Nicholas Cage,
you know. I was just like, I gotta blow right shop.
I wonder if they were just like that idea was
incepted into their head Michael, it was just like doing

(48:01):
It was like cons on an air plan. Wait a second,
Johnny twenty three. You know air that's one way the
terrorists get in boil uh and and Segway scooter and
in zip lining, zip lining and zip cars. So the
other thing that they don't seem to be able to
get their ship together about is the withdrawal from Syria.

(48:22):
Trump announced on December our boys are young, women, are men.
They're all coming back, and they're come back now. We won.
And then on January seven, he said, we will be
leaving at a proper pace, while at the same time
continuing to fight isis and doing all else that is
prudent and necessary. And then when people were like, that
wasn't what you said before. Why are we fighting if

(48:45):
we want right, he said, the failing New York Times
has knowingly written a very inaccurate story on my intentions
in Syria, no different from my original statements. Okay, so
this is one kind of important or I guess revealing
detail is you know, his main national security dude now
is John Bolton, and Trump consistently calls him Mike Michael Bolton.

(49:11):
He thinks, I think again, it's like a face of
inception where he constantly is looking at a picture of
Michael Bolton wishing he had his hair and he can't
get well. They say, yeah, the article that more than
one occasion in front of AIDS refers to him as
Mike Bolton. I mean, Michael Bolton can't be happy about this,

(49:35):
so you know you don't. You don't play a saxophone
with that type of love. And I don't know what
he does. I confuse Kenny and Michael Bolton. And I
didn't know about a transition team. Maybe I should be president. Yes,
circular breathing Kenny G can do. He played like the
longest notever I think did they ever do it, Michael

(49:56):
Bolton and Kenny G with their long I'm sure, I'm
sure some. And our guy was like, you guys should really,
I'm telling you man, it's a fucking dunker ru Okay,
you guys do a fucking Christmas album? Man, go short
hair now right? Yeah? Oh yeah? And he's he's aged
well yeah. I worked with him on a video like
last year. We had him play a barista at Alfred

(50:17):
Coffee and he's saying people's orders out. Uh. And he
was just a super nice guy. Yeah, just like really
down for like the stupidest bit where he's like, dude,
like when a man loves a Lotte, Yeah, and he
like did it And I was like, yeah, you know,
he totally does. He totally He's right pissed about this
John Bolton situation. Yeah. So anyway, that's serious thing. Also,

(50:39):
it's just a mess too, in the sense that every
funk up just we go one rung lower on the
fucking the ladder of power in terms of people being
able to trust that our foreign policy is coherent or
even consistent or reliable in any way, because if you
have one on one side, hey, we're pulling the funk
out of Syria, and then the next one be like,
oh I never said that, right, We're gonna do that
the right way. And also put ling out of Syria

(51:01):
as quickly as he was talking about doing it would
just leave an entire people to be slaughtered. Birds who
have been helping us fight isis all along would just
be left to be murdered. This is one of those
things that's like not talked about as I mean, I
know we talked about Syria, but it's not talked about
as much as the Wall in Russia and things like that.
It's like this will have we will be able to

(51:21):
point back at this moment in decades and go, this
is why this happened. This is going to have negative
catastrophic ramifications as much of this presidency will have for
decades to come because he's fucked us up on it
on so many levels. Yeah, I mean, Syria is like
if you were gambling on where the Third World War

(51:43):
was going to come from. Syria has all the ingredients.
Does Vegas have that they do not? We are Caesar's
y'all take an action on World War three, on World
War Z. But yeah, you got Russia, you got Iran,
you got everybody there. And North Korea. North Korea they're

(52:05):
probably they're probably a dark horse. Yes, all right, we're
gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back and sup producer around Josnier was pointing out
that in addition to t s A, air travel is

(52:28):
now just less safe because the people who actually do
the checks on the planes also air traffic controllers. You know,
they're all pulling double shifts. They're not getting paid, So
on the one hand, that's really dangerous for people who
are traveling by plane. But on the other hand, I mean,
since most of the terrorists are coming in through that way,
maybe some of them get killed. You you know, the

(52:52):
Republicans have always said they wanted smaller government, and now
they have no government, so they really I mean twenty
nineteen check check y'all. Amazing thing about the wall is that,
first of all, not only do most people, like the
majority of Americans don't want it, but also like border patrol,
people like the head of Border Patrol is like, no, dude,

(53:13):
that would do nothing. We need cameras, we need Like,
you don't know who we're dealing with. These guys are
funny tricks. He's like a technological wall would be maybe
something to talk about, not a wall. It's like a
great wall of China like that. He looks at that
every night and he's like, hey, do the thing where

(53:34):
you go from space you can see Mike Bolton. You
gotta look at this, Mike Bolton, get in here. All right,
let's talk about another one of our faves, another popular
sex krim out here doing his thing besides the president,
Mr Kevin Spacey. So he showed up in court on
Monday to plead not guilty, immediately got pulled over for

(53:58):
speeding after after his trial. Just you know, he can
take no ticket, no ticket. Yeah, of course he did
a monologue. Yeah he did. He did another video. I
bet you're wondering what I'm doing here speeding in this
here called no trial. Spacey himself didn't speak at the arrayment,
which is probably for the best since he would have

(54:19):
just tied a web of lies together using names pulled
from item scattered around the courthouse. But he yeah, I
don't know what is happening in his head. But also
like around him, he is another white man who has
been gas lit by his own fucking privilege. He really
thinks this is how he's gonna come back, like all

(54:40):
this ship. He has no remorse. Yeah, he's that wild
video on Christmas thing. So people are pointing out that
video was well lit, like it wasn't like he just
I don't know, I don't like the way it was lit.
I think it sounded, you know, like there was a
it was produced. It was not him doing, but it

(55:04):
was like no self respecting even like the camera moves
were a little whack, a little amateur to me. But
you know, I'm not here to critine of spaces defense videos.
But yeah, definitely people came through to be like, yeah, okay,
we'll put the light here and then you can just
weird us all out. We're gonna wait, just text us
when you're done, and I'll come back and stop and

(55:26):
then you can. You said you have I movie on
your laptop. Well that's what I would like to believe happened.
But people who are as famous as he is have
you know, we've talked before on the show. They have
basically an entire company's worth of people who rely on
them for a paycheck. And you know those people are
all now full time looking for new jobs and also

(55:49):
trying to come up with strategies for how the Spaceman
is gonna get back in the game. You think so, yeah,
I think in the world of delusion and especially in
the industry he was a part of, there are people
in his phone book that he can point to and
go they did X, Y Z, and I saw them
at the Golden Globes the other you know, like, we

(56:11):
haven't taken everybody. So it's like, I bet space he's
reading these Louis articles like it's like why me, why why?
Why do I have to go away when I know
there's fifteen other So it truly it speaks to we
gotta get them all out, because once they're all out
and we put them on an island and we make
that a reality show where they just see who they

(56:32):
harassed the best, we're not gonna I think that we
still have some of these pieces of ship, and so
that gives them hope right where they're like, well, maybe
I'll just start my career somewhere else because better, right,
isn't he getting offers or like there's rumors that he
he has offers to work elsewhere in the world, Europe
and Russia what I mean to do, but to do

(56:57):
Russian films probably probably seems goal. I mean, also, I
don't understand some of these people. It's like, do you
have enough money you don't need to come back. Louis,
you have enough money, you don't need to go on tour.
Kevin Spacey, you have enough money, you don't need to
stay away from us. Just stay in your fucking mansion.
I would love to stay in a mansion and never

(57:18):
have to do anything again. That'd be incredible. I mean,
that's what he's been doing. The industry that is most
famous for having people who just can't quit. Our boxers who,
like you know, their ego is so accustomed to the
adulation that they come back and their job is getting
the ship beat out of that so like chasing brain
damage and they still come back. So maybe that's the

(57:40):
reality show. They just box each other, you know, we
do them by weight class. Harvey, I don't know who
goes up against him. He's a big fella. Spacey did
rock A retired since two thousand and seventeen, had as
he delivered a medium cheese pizza to the Daily Mail
paparazzi camped outside his home see and again like just
the whole flippant attitude from that video to rocking Hat

(58:04):
like retired since two thousand seventeen, Like come on, then
it's a goof it's yea to him, it's like, oh yeah, fine,
Like has he always been crazy? Did this make him crazier?
Because he was one that I definitely like loved his work.
Was like, oh if I saw him at a restaurant,
you'd be like, he seemed cool. And now it's like,

(58:24):
were you always this insane? I'm sure? I mean with anything?
You know, his world is spinning he's on that ride
and then it suddenly stopped spinning. He's gonna keep you know,
it's a It takes a big adjustment for him. He's
gonna keep going thinking that everything's the same. Everyone's going
to find him continually as charming as they always have,
because that's just his reality. That's what how he existed. Also,

(58:48):
according to The Daily Mail, those photographers who he delivered
pizza too, they snap pictures of Spacey spending time in
his mansion watching news coverage about himself and reruns of
his movie. So you that's a fucking bummer. Isn't there
like a movie like this from the from the old
timey days of like some actor who like, yeah, Sunset Boulevard,

(59:08):
the silent film actress who is like basically a screenwriter,
crashes his car and like has to ask for help
at this like old dilapidated mansion and it's like the
biggest star from the silent film days and she basically,
like I don't know her ego, like swallows him up
in it and he ends up getting killed. Is it

(59:28):
a horror movie? Sort of? I didn't know that. It's
a great movie. Drinking and dancing. Yeah, that's what That's
what I think about, since there's really funny moments too,
but it's like it's darker the Apartment, which is a
great movie. Also, let's talk about pizza, you guys. Let's

(59:51):
let's leave it in a in a happy place. Math
has informed us, uh, something that surprised me a little bit. Yeah. Well,
this was a viral tweet. I went around from firmat's library.
We're basically, you know, they're just using math right of
how to calculate surface area of a circle. Uh. And
what they have discovered, which was this information was available

(01:00:12):
to us forever, but that one large pizza will yield
you more pizza, more area of pizza than two smalls combined.
One eighteen inch is bigger than two twelve inches. Yes,
so with one eighteen inch pizza, you get two square
inches of pizza. With two smalls you get two hundred
twenty six square inches pizza. Okay, I have to I

(01:00:34):
don't think people are getting too small because they think
it's more. I think people are getting too smalls because
they're like, I want pepperoni, I want mushrooms, right. But
that's what they're saying is like, if that's the case,
you know, just put the thing in half unless there's
not like some wild dietary restrictions and be like, yo,
we're both getting fourteen more square inches of pizza, right,
well that's a lot. Yeah. We don't got to tell

(01:00:58):
me that changed. Yeah, well it's just funny. That's what
was one of those things. I think. That's what's so
funny to me is this tweet is purely just doing math,
Like these are things we learned like in just school, right,
wasn't it's a problem on one of our tests, like
how much pizza will you get if you order? I
swear I did this in high school. Yes, yeah, multiplying

(01:01:19):
pie by the square of its radius? Geometry question just
went viral, right, and then just be like, oh that's right, dude.
You get more pie, dude, and the punt is intended.
When you get the large, large just looks cooler to pizza,
you're like, what did I read a book and I
got this as a present, Like it's just it's not enough.

(01:01:40):
Are you talking about the book? Fair? Like the book
drive or whatever? Free pan pizza from Pizza Hud, Yeah,
which delicious, love it. But then when you see a
large one and you're like get out of here this
big bad. Also, yeah, back when they had March Madness,
like promos from Pizza Hu canceled. No no no, Yeah,
back when they have March mad Remember that they used
to have like a themed basketball every year Pizza would

(01:02:00):
make for the Final four tournament, and I remember I
would always have to like beg My parents were like, yeah,
we got to order the large door us. We don't
get the basketball. You would get a basketball if you
ordered a large a deal. Yeah. It was a terrible
like rubber ball. But like if you're playing outdoor and
you're just like a kid just shooting around in the street,
perfect ball. Right, did you bring that back? They should? Megan,
