Premier search history. There's a revealing that who do are? Uh?
Recently I was searching for ways to get into Club
thirty three. Oh Disneyland, Disney's gon happen unless you go
that don't happen? Yeah, wild plug over there. But I
was like, all right, like is there somebody even though
(02:34):
like I'm I have a girlfriend, I was like, is
there somebody I could date to get into it? Or
is there somebody like you know, like you coming and
I'll do whatever. I just want to go and see it. Yeah.
I have a friend who's gone twice now through like
various connections. I think it was like someone high up
at Disney they knew that got him in there. But yeah,
I mean, isn't that waiting list, like because you've got
(02:54):
to be in the club right to even like there's
like a lifetime long waiting list. And then be able
to look at the door to Club thirty three. It's crazy.
I looked up. So once I looked at up, I
was like, all right, well, how do you get in? Also,
let people know if they don't know, if they're not
real disney Heads. Yeah, Club three. Club thirty three is
like this exclusive club at Disneyland. It's the only place
in disney Land the park that sells alcohol as a bar.
(03:17):
And that's kind of all, you know, like they keep
it pretty hush hush. They have like events and stuff.
They're like special events for like their people, but only
the most exclusive. It's not even like you have to
be rich, because if you had to be rich, then
so many rich people would be in it, but like
you have to know somebody and like a member of
this club or whatever to get in there. They also
(03:38):
proved it to lazy people because I was like, all right, well,
how did I join the list? And I was like, well,
you got to write a letter? And I was like, well,
funk that. I'm sure somebody there's I'm sure there's a
lot of disney Heads. I think in the g if,
if one of you has the plug for Jakis to
go because you were a disciple of Disney, a disciple,
(03:59):
true Disney head. It he just doesn't want to write
that letter. But I'm just like he is devoted. You
want to come on a second rate podcast and put
his hat out and say who's got the connection? I'm
sure somebody does. Somebody engineers out there and yeah everyone
I hear that goes in there like it's really cool
because like like the decor is like living and everything
(04:21):
and the food is good and yeah, I mean I'm
just picturing like the Eyes Watch scene, that party scene,
except instead of the weird masks, they're wearing Disney heads
when no bottoms. Just like, this is a party that
would be amazing. Yeah, three was just a fun party. Yeah,
(04:42):
it's just all misdirection. They're like, yeah, it's an exclusive
place that alcohol, the hottest party in Anaheim. What is
something that is overrated? Something that's overrated? Uh? Children intelligence?
Children's intelligence? Yes, Okay, I think too many parents think
they're kids are smart. Okay, so the parents assessment of
(05:04):
the parents assessment of their children's intelligence. Now, I know
some kids maybe a little bit more advanced than others,
but left to their own devices, every child would kill themselves.
And if they you know so, and then you know,
you learn and stuff like that. But the thing that
bothers me, and I've just been dealing with this recently.
Our parents, who like the kid will be like one
(05:26):
year old, and the kid will say something and then
the adult would be like, that's not true. And then
the parent would be like, well, you know, little Timmy
is a real smart one. No, he's fucking not. He's
one years old. He doesn't know ship. That's that's what
happens at parental pride. You know, I know Jack knows
something about that. So they're disagreeing with you and saying, wait, my, like,
(05:49):
my son is really smart, so can you tell me what? What? What?
What was the actual point of contention, like what was said?
And the one year old had an opinion on right right?
So the point the point the attention was like something
that like happened and it was like, oh, well, so
and so did this, And I was like, no, that's
not true. It was like something fantastical like and I
(06:11):
was like, no, you're using your imagination. Yeah, And I
was like, well, you know, he has a pretty good
memory and he's pretty smart. I was like, okay, all right, okay,
you say, okay, so not only is one a little smart?
Yeah yeah, I mean I don't have that problem because
my son will like point out a couch and be
(06:32):
like big truck. Yes. I'm like yeah exactly, but you
know what, I respect that because that's a kid, like
your kids, but don't puff your chest out to adults,
you know, and be like you know you heard this
guy is not actually blue in I think the reverse
problem because like my son loves dancing, he loves music,
(06:55):
and like we were at this h public event like
at a museum and he like started dancing in like
this DJ came out and started playing good music. My
son started dancing and then like he like kind of
got a dance party going, and all these people who
were there like he's a great dancer, and I was like,
not really really, he's on beater. He just just feels
(07:17):
good about it. Yeah he's I canna tell he's feeling
the music. He's not like a good dance you're like,
actually A says you know, I mean he's no turbo
for breaking. Yeah he's got he's got a step er two.
But I think that's the thing. He's an enthusiastic dancer.
That's all that's good. I mean, that's all we can.
But I like how you're even sort of trying to
be really objective. You're like, well, you know, he off beat,
he's not really isolating that well, like, and I don't
(07:38):
want him to hear that a good dancer, because then
he's just gonna be a bad dance He's gonna be
bad for the rest of his life. He was like, oh,
this is how you dance, right, Yeah, doesn't he have
some weird affectation you're saying where he would be like
like doing like oh yeah, he's like doing a weird
like handwife across his mouth, which I don't I don't know, man,
it's like his own move is yeah, yeah, it's real.
(07:59):
That's the break of one thing you see is a
lot of videos of his son dancing, and I'm like, yo,
it's it's nice to see. That warms my heart when
you see little kids just like yeah, I just feel
the music. The world around you is crumbling. Right, how
is your kid? He's too He just too yeah right yeah,
and he I mean he really feels music, like he
will he will turn on his CD and like start
(08:21):
bopping his head and look at you and then turn
it up to be like, so, I mean that's that.
That is one thing you can say for him is
he enjoys it, and that's all. That's all I care.
I can't wait till you're the proud parent at the
V I P section of the Coachella main stage. Your
son just the most lit DJ and like that music
(08:42):
single tears streaming down your right. Right? Alright, Jackie's what
is something that is underrated? Let me hit you out
with this. H Miles who may know something about this?
But days? But days? Oh yeah, yeah? Clean your butt
with water? Oh boy. Let me tell you. If you
still just using tissue in the game, you ain't in
(09:05):
the game. And at first four years I was like,
oh using tissues, I use baby wipes. Nah. If you're
still using baby wipes, your ass ain't clean. Man. So
did you just get one of those seat detachments? Yeah,
forty dollars on the Amazon? Wow? Is it easier to come?
It was like ten minutes to hook it up. And
uh and you and full disclosure, you do work for
(09:27):
this company? Quick? I work for this company. So let
me plug you know you're plugging real quick. Yeah? It
has changed my pooping life. Do you have the squatty
potty too, That would be the most then you would
have the most lit fecal set up every bowel movement zone.
It's the best thing, dude. Yea. And mine, mine has
(09:48):
the thing where you can adjust to pressure. So like
if it gets too high then like you started getting
water like up your ass and like that doesn't feel great.
But you don't need a clonic. You don't need yeah yeah, yeah,
but unless you do. Yeah, hey, but if you're having
pressure watched the drive away in a little bit, you
know what bring it back to life, babe, you turn
up the pressure. I know in Japan. Yes, so like
(10:09):
in Japan, most of the seats, like most people when
they go to Japan, like the toilet seats are like
warm and then like a thing will like there's like
an invisible to day. Yes, we've been on that ship
for a while. But the biggest thing is, you know,
sometimes wiping does not suffice and you just need to
just the cleansing power of a water stream is just great,
(10:30):
great for you. Let me let me even expand on
that just in general, like if you roll around in
dirt and like mud and then just get a dry
paper towel and wipe yourself off. You're still dirty, you
can still see the dub, the mud smears. So at
least use a baby white out. At least use a
baby white and if you want to get to that
next level, get yourself up a day. Yeah, man, we're
(10:55):
just making just making changes over here. Ya got the days? Anybody?
And I had one for airbnbad house once that had
one and you never left? Yeah, I definitely need to
Was it not know? That was a forty edition? Was
it European stylar? It was one with like the fancy
toilet seat. Fancy toilet seat. You can get it more expensive,
(11:18):
like you can get one that's like three hundred bucks,
as like heated toilet seeds and heated water and so. Yeah,
the most lit ones are made by Toto Total Washlet
the shout out to Japanese ingenuity, although who knows who
invented it first, but yeah, shout out to the bidet
and shout out out. Hit us up with your Biday stories. Yeah,
the first time you use a bi day, how did it?
(11:39):
Take a picture. Take a photo of yourself the moment
the bidet hits you, so you can capture that moment
my first bid or like, also, you ever pay attention
to the face you make me wipe your ass? No,
think about that next time you wipe your ass. If
if you make a face while you do it, like
if it's like diyebrow a personal lip, you know, I
(12:02):
probably do, Like just be aware of the face you
make when you're weipping. But I probably carl my lip,
probably carl it. I think mine's just a lot of
like downtrodden self reflection. They're like, I'm wiping again, it's
never ending. Or it's like it's like like existential crisis
or the puppy dog guilt. Every time they like poop,
(12:23):
they just look guilty and sad. Jackies, What is a myth?
What's something most people think it's true that based on
your personal experience, you know to be false. All right,
let me tell you something about love real quick. Oh now,
a lot of people think if you're in a relationship
and it's a new relationship and you say that I
love us, that's the first big step to love. That's not.
(12:45):
You want to know when you're really in love when
you first fart in front of your partner. Oh wow,
that's when the real love kicks in and it's not
like a secret. You just like this, I'm gonna be me.
I'm gonna be me. It's especially if it's like your
girlfriend with I mean, well we uh we woke in here.
So if it's your partner who doesn't like farting, because
(13:08):
you know some of us were cool with it. I'm
fine with farting. You know, it's it's part of the
human But if you get somebody who doesn't and they
do it in front of you, that's the moment they
fell in love with it, or that's when they trust you.
They're willing to be themselves. It's funny. But you also
meet people who are like, I don't fart, yes, and
you're like, come on you And if you don't, like,
(13:30):
can we take you to a doctor and be like,
are they just able to process gas in such a
way that they don't fart? In your head, what's gonna do?
You know? People that don't fart? Okay, I thought, you're like,
I know mutants that yeah, you're if you don't fart,
you're dying. And I'm sure, but you know what, there
will be people who will say, because I've had this
discussion to where they're like they're like, oh, I could
never do that. Like some things just need to be private.
(13:51):
And then at that point then there's no secrets and
it's disgusting and and some things need to be a mystery.
But like, y know, it's it's not like I don't know,
I just see that as part of the human body,
how you exist. So like you're taking like you're taking
poops in front of each other. Oh I do, Miles
is the only one in here. I'm like a private pooper,
(14:14):
Like I got it, Like like, get out the house, everybody.
I'm the same. Yeah, when you've been married ten years, man, nothing, Yeah,
you're just like you're almost rolling your eyes to this whole. Yeah,
I know. Guy. Is there any social movement for like
more fart positive like cultures like a work place where
(14:36):
people can just let rip. Well, I guess I don't know.
Is that you are sort of invading someone's space and
there it's like old factory assault if you are just farting,
because I would be like, yo, I'm trying to smell
your colon. You know what I mean? Maybe would they
could do is create a farting booth whatever, you know
what I mean that would be the worst, just like
(14:57):
you have to step outside, I have to fart, yeah,
but a fighting it's like silenced. But also like do
you remember in the Rock when they're up they're diffusing
that bomb and the gas comes out. They turn on
the vent and it's like sucking all the gas out,
So like you're getting one of those nobody has to hear.
The event comes on, you come out and you're good. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll excuse myself to fart, but only like to a
(15:18):
corner of the room when nobody's at Yeah, oh one time.
Let me tell you. I'm about tell this. So when
I was like in high school, I was going on
a date with somebody or we were kicking at at
her house and I had to fart, and like she
left the room, she said she had to go do something.
I thought I was gonna have like a good minute
or so, and I farted and I heard like the
door open, like she was coming back in like the
(15:38):
house or whatever. I attempted to inhale all of the
fart smell in an attempt to cover up the crime.
And I don't know what logic I was applying, but
I was like, let me put this back in my body.
I didn't know, like trying to jump on a green Yeah, exactly,
the desperate attempt of a fifteen year old trying to
hide their farts. So you know, she smelled that. She
(15:59):
just to say, yeah, I would have like I would
have an entire like six hour evenings ruined, like back
before I realized I was like mildly lactose intolerant, Like
I would have just like whole nights where I was
just like holding it in and so uncomfortable. Yeah, there's
not much you can pain of holding in the farts
(16:21):
throughout a date. It's probably one of the biggest tests
of strength the human can endure, you know what I mean,
Like that's when you really you get a stomach ache.
Personal character builds character, Yeah yeah, yeah, alright, let's get
into the stories that people are thinking and talking about
right now. I always want to check in with the
UFO story because the first time Jackies came on, the
(16:43):
New York Times had just reported that UFOs were a thing. Uh,
they had interviewed a guy who had just left the Pentagon.
This was back in December of two thousand and seventeen. UM,
There's been not that much reported since then, there's a
fired article that tries to kind of shoot holes in
(17:03):
the New York Times article, But none of their arguments
really make me. How are they trying to poke holes
in this? Well, they say, there's like not a very
clear chain of command on some of those videos that
they were saying, we're being uh D de classified by
the Department of Defense. They were saying that those actually
it wasn't clear that they were being declass fighter that
(17:26):
they had ever been classified by the Department of Defense.
But and then they said that, you know, the testimony
from the airline pilot who spoke about seeing that tic
TAC like flying object, it was not clear that he
was talking about the tic tac object that we see
in the video. But if anything, that just makes me
(17:47):
believe more. If you have to independently verified examples of
somebody seeing the same physically impossible thing in the sky, right, well,
it being declassified doesn't mean it didn't happen. It means
that somebody just broke the rules and someone didn't realize
what it was. They're like, oh, this needs to be classified.
(18:08):
But yeah, that doesn't change the substance of what the
video is. In my in my mind. And then what
it turns out, the Pentagon some some some little investigative
journalism out in Las Vegas. These people obtained a thirteen
page document that was prepared for the military that analyzed
what happened in that video. And even then they're like,
it could have been this or that. But even they're
(18:28):
saying that the pilots who went to go investigate the
thing were clear that they knew it was something and
it was very serious. So I don't know, but there
doesn't really change anything. They call it an anomalous aerial
vehicle in A A V. So that's the new that's
the new in vogue version of the UFO, because UFO
sounds crazy. So now it's not politically I mean you can,
(18:51):
but you know it's it's it's it's dated. It's double
a V. Alright, double a V. We have an unfortunate
Mangazi updated. Oh, Morgan Freeman black got unfortunately uh sixteen
people have spoken to CNN about some very disturbing behavior
(19:13):
on his part. I don't know how surprising this is too.
I mean, if anybody had followed the story where he
got into a car accident with his step granddaughter and
there were all sorts of weird issues around whether he
was having an affair with his step granddaughter. People were
(19:34):
I don't know, it's very strange. I thought they were
like a thing. Yeah, then he kind of was open
about that. But yeah, the behaviors just generally shameless and horrible,
Like he would just harass women in front of lots
of people, and people just kind of let it happen, right,
or just like commenting on women's clothing and trying to
(19:54):
lift someone's skirt or like, rather than like reporting it,
there's like, oh, don't wear anything revealing around him because
he will say something. It was just a known thing
that you can't wear. Wait, was his granddaughter murdered? Was
she the things is? Before she was murdered, Morgan Freeman's
step granddaughter told her boyfriend turned killer that the actor
had been secretly sleeping with her. Oh, Ship, that sounds awful.
(20:17):
I hadn't heard that. I know they were like dating
and stuff like that, and she was murdered. Ship, that's sad.
That's horrible. So anyway, so basically, see Nan has been
sitting on this is that I think they've just been
putting the investigation together and then like now they just
came out with the reporting of it. Yeah, because one
(20:37):
of the people who was harassed by Freeman was a
CNN reporter who was harassed during a press junket. He
was just saying ship about her appearance. Actually the things
that he was saying to her were really disturbing. So
she was six months pregnant and he kept saying you
are ripe and I wish I was there and gesturing
(20:58):
towards her U uh baby bump, boy, do I wish
I was there? So that's that you are right? What
is he? Fucking Nick Cage in face off? These stories
that come out. These dudes are just like dirty, old
fucking man, even if they're young, they just sound like dirty, gross,
(21:22):
fucking dudes who don't give a ship. Yea, honestly, they
don't give a ship. I mean it's just like, I
don't know what more can be said about this thing,
Like aside from our culture of you know, coercion and
like a rape culture that hasn't been said. It's just
more like, okay, well now we're just now people, we're
just gonna call You're calling people out now for knowing
(21:42):
what they've done. So we'll see if someone else is
going to do a voiceover for the next Penguins. Man. No, man,
all those visa commercials I did do frame, they're gonad
to take that that Missy Elliot Mountain Dew commercial. I know,
Mountain Dew. That's who I'm really concerned about. Oh is
that the only buster rhymes too? Yeah, seed speed rapping.
(22:05):
He's in the ad with Missy Elliott. Don't funk up
Missy Elliot's money, right, you know exactly, let her rock. Yeah,
And the behavior just kind of speaks to he just
thought he could get away with it. At one point
during a press junket, Alan Arkin was like, dude, stop
and and Morgan Freeman like completely taken aback, like didn't
(22:29):
know how to respond to that. So, yeah, it's just
it's also a testament in addition to sort of culture
of toxic masculinity, it's a testament to just how much
we let famous people get away with. Yeah. I mean, honestly,
let's just keep popping all these fucking dude like see something,
say something, you see something, say something like, let's get
(22:51):
this culture out of just everything entertainment. I mean, we're
all entertainers in here. So that's the world we live
in but everywhere, like, let's get this ship out, let's
see something to say something, you're right, because and also
it's up to men too to call each other out.
Like when if my friends are saying some weird ship,
you gotta be like yo he yo, right, that's that's
(23:11):
a slippery slope, my guy. It's also got to check
the way we even describe things too, because that all
feeds into this sort of mentality. Yeah. Man, unfortunately we
live we we as man, have lived in a time
where we have let each other get away with ship. Yeah. Uh,
and we're all guilty of it, I know, like oh yeah,
we've always probably saying some ship was like and didn't
(23:33):
say anything. But yeah, man, that culture has to change.
It is changing, thankfully, but it has to change and
change for good. Yeah. And times Up is actually helping
Walmart employees with the sexual harassment lawsuits. So that is
a sign that it's kind of moving beyond just the entertainment. Oh,
like for employees at Walmart. Employees of Walmart, they're like
(23:54):
a class action thing that they were coming to Walmart's defense. No,
everybody leave Walmart. Alright, We're gonna take a quick break
we'll be right back, and we're back. Do you know
(24:14):
The Blueprint came out on nine eleven, Yes, I did. Yeah,
it's crazy great album. Really got me through that time.
You know what. The other thing about Morgan Freeman in
that Mountain Dew commercial, he's not pulling it off at all,
Like it's fake rapping. It's like, well, oh, you've never
even listened to he is? All right? So the summit
between the United States and North Korea has been canceled.
(24:38):
Trump canceled it using the you can't dump me, I
dump you logic that I'm sure he sticks to in
all facets of his life. You know, this is bad, obviously.
I've been over it for about a week now since
I heard that this was kind of going to Rocky
getting Rocky. Yeah, I just didn't really have any No
(25:02):
part of me believed that they were going to pull
this off. Yeah, I was gonna say, did anybody think
this was actually going to happen? Well, I think there
was a belief that it could, but maybe not the
June twelfth in Singapore. It all happens that day. I
think that version of events, which Donald Trump really wanted
most people to believe was gonna happen. It's like, oh yeah,
just wait June twelfth, it's going down folding nuclearization and
(25:25):
get your coins now, because yeah, this is sort of
there are a lot of experts, like when I watch
the news, who are you know, people who have directly
negotiated with North Korea before, and they were saying, yeah,
the problem is Donald Trump doesn't listen to his experts
or people who are actually have like diplomatic experience with
them saying you cannot expect them to be consistent with
(25:46):
what they're saying, so be prepared for that. And clearly
he like was shook by that and caught off guard
when suddenly North Korea was like, fuck debt, you know uh,
And I think that kind of got him all, you know,
got him a bit shook if and then that's he
he had he met up with a South Korean president
Moon and then blindsided him with this letter today. So
I assumed that his meeting with South Korean leader Moon
(26:10):
was not like successful or that like he had communicated
to him that things were not looking good for this
meeting because they had just talked yesterday. But no, South
Korea was completely blindsided by him calling it off which
is shocking because they had talked yesterday and like, none
of this is a new development. So the thing he's
(26:31):
calling out for calling the meeting off is that they
insulted Pence. So Pence specifically said that if North Korea
didn't give up their nuclear weapons, it would end like
the Libya model ended, which again this is the second
time that don't say Libya, Libya bad word when it
(26:52):
comes to North Korea. But they kept pushing and pushing
and pushing. Uh So. Then North Korea's vice manas or
a foreign affairs said Pence's comments were stupid and ignorant
and called him a political dummy. I don't know if
it's the way there where it's translate or what, but
it's just sometimes it's very childish and straightforward and I
(27:13):
kind of love it. I can't wait for the documentary.
Is that going to come out of this White House?
Is going to be like all this ship, like all
of them Pence Trump, They are quite possibly, and I've
only lived on this planet for thirty two years, they
are quite possibly the dumbest group of motherfucker's. However, like, yes,
(27:34):
it was a total fish out of water, you know
what I mean? This guy, Donald Trump is not equipped
with the mental capacity or the skill of being a
diplomat or do anything diplomatically, do anything in a balanced way.
He's not really led anything aside from his own family
company and made like bunk deals. So yeah, you put
him in the White House, He's wholly unprepared. And this
(27:55):
is the kind of ship that happens. And also when
you reject the expert opinions of people who was like
job it is to inform you, and you don't actually
do like your full briefings on ship, you get this
kind of nonsense. So Trump officially canceled the meeting in
a letter that he wrote to Kim that included the sentence,
you talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so
(28:17):
massive and powerful that I pray to God they will
never have to be used. Uh yeah, this is this
is w W E ship. Now you know what I mean. Well,
he isn't a w W Hall of Fame. Yeah, so
he's he's learned a thing or two people learned, Amni Mac. Yeah,
but the letter is so crazy. It's like a like
(28:37):
a scorned lover. You know, It's like we everything started
off so good, and I thought we were going to
be peaceful, then you had to talk all this ship.
Now it's over. But also if you want to talk,
the doors open, so like the letter does end with
an opening too to still kind of negotiate. But clearly
I think because North Korea was talking pretty spicy over
(28:59):
the weekend, uh, that you know, led to sort of
this new thing of I think Trump just doesn't want
them to have the last word. Ever, so if it
ends with them making like, oh, they don't want it
with us, or like John Bolton is repugnant, which he is,
he just couldn't resist the urge to then be like, no,
you know what, how we negotiate little man syndrome. Do
we think that there's any part of this that was
(29:21):
Trump realizing like he starts studying for the test and
realized like how unprepared he is, and so he gets
Pence to go out there and say some ship that
he knows he is going to piss them off so
that they can like call the create because I want
to be surprised that it was like straight up, there
is one thing you don't mention, and Pence went out
and mentioned, yeah, I also think like as dumb as
(29:45):
they are, they also have an unbelievable cockiness to them,
like with Pence, like for instance, when he went to
that football game when you know they're going to kneel,
so it was a stage thing, like I think they think,
like also just kind of like, well, I could do
whatever I want. We're America beat the chest, So if
(30:07):
I wouldn't be mentioned Libya, I will mention Libya. Uh
So it's probably a little bit of both. Ah. He Look,
the one thing is that clearly Mike Pompeo did get
somewhere with them, you know, and he has not been
called out by name like John Bolton has and Mike
Pence has. So it's not totally hopeless because again, like
(30:29):
even most of these analysts who are familiar to North Korea,
like this is pretty normal. Uh And to think that
it was going to happen just this smoothie was is
completely naive. So while some people are like, holy sh it,
it's okay, Well there goes out opportunity, most people, at
least who seem to be experts are actually are experts
in this are kind of like, you know, the fact
(30:50):
is that it ramped up from we're going to meet
and they're gonna fully denuclear as on June twelve, was like, no,
hold on, hold on, We're not even defining what's reasonable
negotiations here. So I think it will take a little
bit of time, and then again, you know, we'll see
what China does, if they're gonna put some pressure on them,
or if this becomes a bargaining tool for China in
our trade talks with them. So right, and he has
(31:13):
suggested that he thinks that North Korea started being mean
to him because China got to them, which again, he
just treats this whole thing like it's a middle school spect.
I mean, yeah, yeah, he's not an adult, and that's evident. Sometimes.
I wonder, like when Barack Obama was in office and
(31:34):
Obama Obama Obama that Kenyan mom forgot about him when
he was in office, and the right or the extreme
conservative base would say things about him and like I
can't believe he's doing this and all that we would
look at it as you guys are insane. I wonder
(31:56):
is that the opposite effect when Trump does these things?
To right, it was like this all makes sense to me, Well, yeah,
that's they're biased though there I don't think it'll anyone
just based on what your point of view is. Those
biases will affect immediately how you respond to something because
you're like, that's my team, Okay, cool. Yeah, And I
think you have to look at the way that you know,
(32:17):
history will obviously view things one way, like history is
going to view Obama as a great president, and you
know history is not going to view Trump kindly. And
depends on how the rest of that, well, we'll see
where the how the Department of Education shakes up and
what textbooks was actually the great unifier of the molten
(32:38):
scorched earth of America. That's true. The fact that he
couldn't even tell South Korea that he was gonna call
this off is just such a great example of how
he can't be tough or like in touch with his
actual feelings when he's around other people that he has
to like wait until they're gone to like finally like
(33:01):
write it out. Like he never fires people to their face.
He has other people do it on the phone, unless
it's on the Apprentice. Yeah yeah, unless there's cameras and
ratings and raft. But you know what I love, though,
is they made that coin like world peace was imminent,
you know what I mean? Spiking the football on the
fifty yard line. Again. Check out this coin. My favorite
thing is now when you go to the website where
(33:23):
the coin was being sold. The first of all, like
the link was crashed when I tried to click on it.
But on want Cat they had like a screenshot of
the text on it, and it basically says the coin
will be made whether or not the summit occurs as scheduled,
because the theme is coming closer to piece and celebrates
the active communication among countries. If some it does not occur,
you can request a refund, but most supporters have said
(33:43):
they want this heirloom of political history regardless of outcome.
Like it's all defensive, like yeah, maybe we took l
on this coin getting it made all early, like yeah cool, yeah,
thank you for that. In terms of how this is
gonna affect him politic atically, five thirty eight is pointing
out that when you actually go issue by issue and
(34:06):
ask people how they rate the Trump presidency on each
of the issues. So economy is, you know, forty eight
percent approved, forty six percent disapprove. North Korea is the
only one that has a significant net approval. North Korea
is fifty two percent approved thirty eight point seven disapproved.
(34:27):
I think that is with the assumption that he was
going to go in and just completely ace this meeting,
solve it with his art of the deal master skills.
But yeah, everything else, terrorism negative net one percent, taxes
negative net one, Syria negative net to China negative net six,
(34:47):
trade negative net seven point seven, Iran negative net nine,
overall job performance negative ten, foreign policy negative twelve, immigration
negative fifteen, Russia negative twenty, and his cabinet negative. So
it's like there's not a lot of you know, high
points to focus on there, and so fucking up the
(35:09):
North Korea thing can't be good for him. But we'll
see how how his base react. You'd hope there is
a strategy, right, That's what like what a lot of
journalists are asking, like, God, is there a fucking strategy here?
Or is this are we all just knee jerk all
day knee jerk diplomacy, because they're saying, if that's a case, man,
this is gonna be a fucking bumpy ride. And who knows.
(35:31):
I mean sure it could be a thing where they're like, yo,
you come in, You'll be like, okay, we'll agree on this,
and then you walk out the negotiations to sort of
bolster your position, but again, it doesn't seem like this
is the right way to do it. Uh, and and
to provoke, you know, after North Koreek clearly didn't like
the John Bolton comments to then double down them and
like Pence like why do that? Like if you're really
if your endgame is that unless again they might have
(35:53):
a strategy to at this point, I cannot predict anything
with any any kind of start. So there's a way
to read this in that the president South Korea got
this meeting to happen. He said yes to the meeting
the second d it was offered, even though that offer
has been on the table for every president in the
past and was presumably on the table, And the only
(36:15):
noteworthy thing is that he was saying yes to it
that quickly. Uh, And then he got positive press for it,
and people were crediting his uh tough negotiating skills with
making this meeting happen. So you know, he reads his
own press. You know that he's sitting here thinking, well,
my tough negotiating tactics worked before, when that's not actually
(36:38):
necessarily true. That's just how Fox News chose to interpret it.
And what we're seeing is that he now that there's
like a little bit of turbulence, He's going back to
this tough negotiating tactic because it got praised before, even
though there's nothing that suggests that that was in any
way benefits my guy. Don't use the prey is a
(37:00):
Fox News to figure out if your negotiations with North
Korea are going well. I mean, that's all he uses. Yeah,
that's all he uses. Is insane And as far as
his end game, I think honestly, his end game is
to be a better president than Barack Obama anyway that
he thinks. So for him, he's like, all right, if
(37:21):
I do this and I can give my Nobel Peace Prize,
should like that. And he only ran, i think, in
my opinion, because he couldn't stand the fact that somebody
is popular, like Barack Obama was a great fucking president.
Now this whole spygate thing or thing, and it's just
(37:43):
it's well, he's the man who also never wanted to
actually be president. He didn't want to be president. He
I mean from everything that you read on like election day,
like it was all disbelieved because the way it was
looking like the election run was gonna be a set
up move for him to launch another media empire, basically
like a spent like his own Fox, and a lot
of people are like, oh, maybe that's the next move.
(38:03):
And then he won the presidency and everyone was like
Milania wept openly, like he looked like somebody had died.
And then over the course of two hours, and this
is according to Bannon, over the course of two hours, amazingly,
he began to convince himself that he could do the job.
That was how Bannon described the night that they won
(38:23):
the election. Um So, our writer Jam McNabb went through
the art of the deal to try and get a
read on what the fund is going on here, like
how does this tie into his overall negotiating tactics. And
he found this section where he talks about how the
(38:44):
only choice is confrontation and you know that even if
he alienates people, usually things work out for the best
in the end. And you know he likes to take
this hard ass line that creates conflict with people and
then he's able to use is the chaosk created by
that conflict to make his position better. And Jan was
(39:06):
pointing out that a lot of the stuff in this
book when you look back, really is his entire presidential strategy.
Like it's, uh, say outrageous things so that you get
free media coverage. Because a ad in the New York
Times costs forty thou dollars, but you can get a
free ad in the New York Times if they just
(39:26):
write an article about the crazy as ship. You said. So,
he he was saying, like a lot of this looks
like a blueprint. And this specific thing about being tough
and negotiating in negotiations and creating conflict also ties into
how he's been interacting with North Korea, and jam pointed
out that another example of him using this was when
(39:48):
he bought a USFL team, the United States Football League.
He bought a team and made it a big deal
of the fact that he was going to take it
to the nf L, like he was going to, you know,
funck the NFL up with his USFL team. He paid
tons and tons of money to get Steve Young. Yeah,
(40:09):
I think it was Steve Young actually. So he paid
all this money for the team. He dumped tons of
money into it, and then he got all the owners
to change the time that they would hold their season
from in the summer, which people would watch because that's
when the NFL wasn't happening and people wanted to watch football.
(40:30):
He was like, no, we need to take the NFL
on fucking head to head. They will merge, They will
have no choice but to merge, right, because we'll be
taking them down. We're offering a better product. And so
he managed to get everybody to do this. This was
widely covered and like seeing as a really like ballsy
move people. This was in the eighties and this was
the first XFL. Yeah, and when when he did it
(40:52):
people he got a lot of positive coverage. At first,
people were like, this is a you know, he's a
real maverick making this move, like taking it to the
NF really dumb funck call. He got everybody to start
referring to the NFL as the no fun league. Ha
ha hey branding baby, right, And so they moved their
season to coincide with the NFL season, and the entire
(41:14):
league went out of business within a couple of years.
And it's all blamed on him because you can't he's dumb. Yeah,
Well then what's crazy is they're even people like on Fox,
they were saying that are kind of even talking about
the art like this in the context of the art
of the deal. Like John Roberts on Fox's saying, well,
you're witnessing here at a very very high level and
(41:35):
sort of a precarious diplomatic position. Is the art of
the deal. This is a negotiating tactic. If you've ever
bought a car, you say to the salesman, this is
my last offer. I'm gonna walk out, and you could
try to sell the car to somebody else except my guy.
This is not buying a car, this is this is
running the country. Yeah, the stakes are millions of lives too,
and you're talking about, you know, this brinksmanship. It doesn't
(41:57):
help anybody. And there's a tried and true way of
doing this sort of thing, and it involves diplomacy and
having really good friends and allies who can trust you
and who can rely on your word, like South Korea,
and the way that they interact with those people is
they completely blindside them and call off the talks that
(42:18):
those allies have been completely relying on and working towards.
So we'll see, we will. Story hasn't ended maybe somehow
Mike Pompeo might pull something out. Yeah, I mean he
seems to have had success up to this point. And
I mean that is how presidents in the past have
successfully interacted with North Korea. Not successfully obviously, but you know,
(42:39):
that's how they have conducted diplomacy with North Korea is
through their head, their top diplomat, their secretary of state.
Exactly the girls to do it, versus clapping back on Twitter.
Yeah you know. Yeah, you get your homies to fight
your battles. Yeah, exactly what you do. All right, We're
going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.
(43:09):
And we're back. And there's breaking news that Harvey Weinstein
will be surrendering tomorrow Friday to the New York District Attorney.
So I didn't even know there were actually charges against
him that we're officially out there, but that, yeah, I
don't know that either. There's some justice. Good, let's get
(43:31):
them all you. Uh. And now for some not justice. Uh.
The Sterling Brown tasing video was released yesterday. Um, and
you know the timing was not great for the NFL.
The day after the NFL issued its ruling that players
(43:52):
can no longer protest police brutality on the field before games,
the Milwaukee Police Department released the body camp footage of
six officers like just surrounding, tackling, and tazing Milwaukee Bucks
card Sterling Brown for having his hands in his pockets
while talking to officers. It's worth noting he had had
(44:14):
his hands in his pockets for minutes and everybody was
totally cool with that. Uh. He was calmly talking to
the officers and then one of them just chose to
freak the funk out out of nowhere, tackled him, tased him.
He was arrested and charged with resisting arrest by the officers,
who claimed he approached them menacingly while they were writing
him a ticket. And the footage just shows that this
(44:36):
guy was It's just a guy trying to, you know,
start ship with somebody, and that guy just happens to
be a cop. Yeah. So the officers were first alerted
to his presence because, uh, as the news reports are
pointing out, he was parked across two handicapped parking spots
(44:58):
in a Walgreen's park. Yeah, he's like, wait here, let
me run out here real quick. Um. Yeah, And it's
something that could have as even Sterling Brown. I think
he was talking about he's like, I was expecting, fine,
just write me the ticket and let's keep it moving.
And then the second that he basically began asking questions
of the officer what was going on is when he
said is when he was like stepping it up and
(45:18):
then being like, oh, you got in my face and
he's like, bro, I did not get like the videos really,
you know, Sterling Brown is very restrained and how he's
talking to him. Yes, he is agitated because he is
being just for whatever reason, harassed by the police. Uh,
but yeah, like it the way it escalates is really
wild because at one point, I think the cops like
triggered the alarm and he pulls it, pulls out the
(45:40):
key fob or whatever to disengage alarm, and puts his
hands back in there. And they didn't have a problem
with that until suddenly they were just like yeah, they
sort of use that as a pretext, but put you
get your hats on your pocket, tackle him and then
tays him, yeah, it's it's just so it's it's it's
part of you know, it's over policing of people of color.
(46:00):
Um And it's not surprising, right because Milwaukee is a
home of of David Clark, uh Mr Mr Trump's one
of his favorite sheriffs. And when I was on Culture
Kings the other day, we were talking about this video.
At the time, we didn't see it. We're just like, oh,
it's probably not good if they're already because you know
that before they were preparing like community leaders and things
(46:21):
like that. For like okay, so, uh, if you can
get people under control, this this video might uh get
people angry, which of course it would, um. But then
you know, the Milwaukee Pee kind of has a track
record when it comes to over policing the a c L.
You actually had a report they put on in February
about it. Um It says, even after controlling for non
racial factors including crime rates, traffic stop rates, and pedestrians
(46:43):
stop rates in Milwaukee are more than six times higher
for black people than for white people. So there's a
track record, I think, even like two thousand four, their
group of off duty cops who beat the daylights out
of tube black men and they were hospitalized because they
suspected someone stole a badge at a house swimming party
and it was like a crazy, crazy scandal. And as
a result, there was another analysis done that there has
(47:05):
been a steady decline in calls to the police and
black neighborhoods in Milwaukee. It's completely it's just being exacerbated
and exacerbating. I guess this is just another note in
the same song, but you know, uh, disturbing one. And
we're gonna we're actually going to talk about this on
the next episode of Culture King. So I don't want
to get too too much into um all my thoughts
(47:28):
on it, but it's the whole thing. Is what scares you?
What skilled? Like? What what skipped? If that was a
white dude with his hand in his pocket, nothing would
have happened. Like what scares you? Is it just like
we're too dark? So you know, is it like all
right then, like go out of motherfucker's with dark as
hands too? Like what is it? Like? I don't understand.
(47:49):
Is it because this overall miseducation on the angry black man? Uh?
But you know what I mean, angry white and like
just other people that I've dealt more. I've dealt with
more angry white people, and I've dealt with angry black
people and my entire life, and it's I don't understand
(48:09):
what scares these cops with weapons on them. Well, it's
but it's control. You know, they want to be able
to they want to basically control black bodies. I say,
you know what, don't fucking talk to me like that. Now,
watch me step it up and call six more like
squad cars over here. And you have a half dozen
officers around you because you're six ft six and you're
(48:31):
asking me questions that are making me be sort of
introspective on me, possibly discriminating. You are harassing you on needlessly.
The officer specifically says, I own that right here, yeah,
right that, yeah, And he was like, oh, He's like,
you don't own me. He's like, no, I meant this.
And it's like what the Walgreens parking lot? What is this?
What is It's just this bro talk. Yeah, And that's
(48:53):
what it is, yo. Don't don't fucking contempt of police
will get you killed. I mean, don't talk back. But
you see NUMERA videos of you know, you see this
all the time of like, uh, white people scripping the
heads off of people or maybe being even mass murderers
and being brought into custody without incident or without being killed.
(49:14):
I mean, I even go back to a video that
came out a week or two ago, barbecue Becky. And
can you imagine if that was a black person following
her with that video that entire time and when the
cops came, and how since it was a white woman,
it was just all right, man, please comment that was
a black person, that black person would have get in
trouble YEA who I mean? Yeah, shout out through the
(49:39):
officer in that video though, too, Like he looked like
he instantly knew how tired this woman's complaint was, because
like she was like, well I was. They were using charcoal,
and he like rolls his eyes in the beginning. But yeah,
you never know, because again, people have this posture of
not being able to like our police sort of already
or an aggressive posture when dealing with people of color.
Uh yeah, And that you described him as agitated, and
(50:01):
like I feel like he almost I was surprised by
how calm he is throughout the whole thing, almost like
he's like exhausted by the situation. But I mean that's
what I mean by his agitation, like because he's like,
oh here we go, right, and he's like what that's
what That's what I mean. Like when it's just like, goddamn,
He's like I only he's like, dude, come on, and
like that's where the agitation comes. Inns where you actually
got in my face and he's like, for real, you
(50:23):
know I didn't. And even a black dude with money
is an NBA in the n fucking b A, And
this can happen to anybody. Yeah, and that's the scary part.
He had a game the next day and showed up
with you know, bruises and I think a black guy
(50:43):
and had to the media asked him about it, and
you just said it was a personal situation. But um,
the way it was reported, I found like an old
blog post from some local sports talk person in staid.
According to the source of Milwaukee police, officers were writing
a parking tick on Brown's Mercedes when Brown confronted them
and became combative. One of the officers then used as
(51:06):
taser on Brown arrested him for resisting arrest. In a statement,
Milwaukee Police Sergeant Timothy Gauc did not identify Brown buck
confirm the details of the arrest. Uh And then they
had to come out and be like, Okay, so we
fucked up totally and this is completely our bad. Wasn't
even charged with anything, right, um man? And then what
(51:26):
I think in one of the you can hear one
of the cops. Are you the Bucks player? Really? Um now. Meanwhile,
Trump has responded to the NFL ruling saying I think
that's good. He said to Fox and Friends. I don't
think people should be staying in the locker rooms. But
still I think it's good. You have to stand proudly
for the national anthem, or you shouldn't be playing, You
shouldn't be there, maybe you shouldn't be in the country.
(51:49):
And Pence tweetered linked to the article about it and
said hashtag winning because he's fucking hip as fuck. Um wow.
Charlie Sheen, Yeah, you know, so just keep you know,
I wish I could kneel on both of their fucking throats, uh,
for an entire sixty minute football game. They yeah, well,
(52:10):
look like I mean, a few owners have come on
and said, look, we're gonna pay for whatever finds, if
you want to do it, will handle it, which they should.
But I mean this speaks to just the larger fun
in the NFL too. And then for people to think
that this is about anything aside from respect for the flag, Like,
come on, you're looking at this stuff. There are people
who are being harassed or treated completely unfairly for for
(52:33):
crimes that are so minor. Uh. And people are making
a stand, trying to make a point, trying to be
aware awareness to this, and you want to just change
the conversation making about disrespecting flag, disrespecting veterans or whatever.
You know, we're trying to bring light, to bring people's
attention to this kind of ship. So and and wouldn't
just staying in the locker room be even more disrespectful? Yeah,
(52:57):
to me, not disrespect full, Like I think it's disrespectful.
But in their warped brain, wouldn't that be even work?
I mean trumbles like I don't think they should be
in the I think any form of protests. They don't
want to see people of color protesting the white supremacist
structure of law enforcement that we have in this country.
So I think even then, imagine if if the if
(53:17):
Colin Kaepernick started by not even coming out and a
lot of players did that, They're like, oh, they gotta
be out there right, Yeah, Oh you know, it's whatever,
it is, it's just ever the idea that they are
protests they have, they have legitimate gripes with our society.
It's really reminiscent of the police tasing video. It's like,
whatever they're doing, they don't want you to do that
because it's not what they said to do, right exactly.
(53:38):
It's just power trip. And that guy man, yeah, he
he was. I think the couple using like yo, I
tried to make it really easy or whatever, but when
you watch how he's even being antagonistic, it's just this
fucking power trip and bullshit. I mean, it's just a
quick story. I I was working in the grocery store.
I was a teenager, and one of the managers went
(54:02):
on a work vacation, so they left their car in
our parking lot, in the grocery stores parking lot. Uh.
And it was there for like three days. And then
we were closing up at night. It was like seven
o'clock Chicago, so it was dark. It was like a
little chillier out and a cop came into our parking lot,
a female, a white female woman. Uh, that's redundant. A
(54:22):
white woman cop came into the parking lot and started
writing that car ticket. And I was like the lead
on the floor at the time. So I just went
out to say, hey, that person actually works here and
he's just on a work vacation. He works here in
his card. And as soon as I stepped out, Now
mind you, I'm in khaki's, a button down white shirt
(54:42):
and a red apron, and she puts her hand on
her gun and like turns around and like it's ready.
It's ready for me. This teenage kid who is in
a work uniform coming out of the store of the
parking lot in and basically just told me to funk
off hand on on the entire and interaction. I was like,
a man, car, ain't this important right to take it?
(55:04):
And I went to backhand, but it's like, what do
you what do you ski? What do you think I'm
gonna do to you? What do you think I'm gonna
do to you? Coming out? I'm gonna hit you in
a can of fucking cream? Cora, Like, well, I mean
there's even had cold cuts. Yeah, well, there even incidents
where black officers are shooting black people who are unarmed too,
And that just shows you how entrenched this problem is. Uh,
(55:26):
And I mean, you know, it's remarkable how law enforcement
in other places are able to exercise remarkable restraint when
handling these kinds of situations, and for whatever reason, there's
just these undertones of bullshit that affect the policing in
this country. Yeah, let's talk about something different, Jack, all right,
let's talk about a little movie by the name of
(55:47):
Show Dogs, which what can we just assume that everybody
who's listening saw that this past I think, I mean
it was the number uh did not quite Uh. There
was some question as to whether it was going head
to head with Deadpool too. Deadpool to slightly edge it
out and Show Dogs came in sixth But it is
a movie in which Will Arnette plays a cop who
(56:10):
has partnered with a dog that can talk, and that
everybody can hear talk. I believe, like it's just a
world in which talking dogs exist. I think, yes, yeah, yeah,
But they show they have to go well, it's this
talking Rott Wilder voiced by Ludicrous, of course, has to
go undercover at a dog show because like it's like
(56:32):
there's some plot for like a baby pando smuggling ring
or some ship. So it's miscongeniality with dogs, uh, and
the trailers is fucking insane. It's worth watching. Yeah, it's
just so full of like dumb ship, like the classic one.
They're they're arguing over the radio, where like our Will
Arnett's like listening like Viva Las Vegas. And then the
(56:53):
ludicrous dog is trying to put like hip hop array
by Naughty by Nature on. He's like, what kind of
dog listens to hip hop? Like it's like this, we
don't know. There's like weird racial allegory in there too,
But for a PG rated film touching on a lot
of really heavy subjects, So the controversial aspect of this
movie that to me, like maybe a few years ago
(57:14):
would have seen like overreacting. But so there is a
big issue in the movie. So the partner dog is
going undercover as a show dog, and one of the
ways that show dogs are judged is by having the
judge handle their genitals handled. Yeah, that's why, because they
(57:37):
want to make sure they're like intact. I guess, I
don't know. It's very very strange first of all, just
very strange show dog world. I mean that's crazy. But
I think just to know, you know, it's like the
perfect perfect example of the breed on is the testicles
healthy too? You know? When I want a spelling be
they did that to me, but I didn't understand they did.
(58:02):
But so the dog is not not feeling this. And
there's a big kind of scene where they're teaching the
dog to be okay to go to a zen place
and just let a human basically molest them. And parents
who went and saw this with their kids, this is
(58:25):
the worst possible lesson you can be teaching kids. So
there is like a big part of child rearing now
where you're supposed to message to your kids like that
nobody is allowed to touch them, like, and that if
somebody is touching them, you have to teach them how
to say no because otherwise, you know, like they're sitting
(58:47):
ducks for right exactly. Um, And this is like the
worst possible thing that you can do is teach a
kid to just let it happen and uh, not tell
people and not make a big deal of it. And
like it's specifically says all this ship and now this
scene is being passed around by like a hot potato
(59:09):
because of course this movie was written by thirteen different people,
most of whom are uncredited, and everyone's like, I didn't
write that ship, right, Um showed out because yeah, there's
a lot of those people are just saying, like, this
is like an overt plot to groom young children for
child molestation, where Okay, I can see how clearly this
(59:31):
scene is problematic and should not be in there. It's
a fucking it's a terrible idea. But I don't know
if you can go as far as to say that
this movie was like, yo, we make this movie. It's
it's to help groom children. I think it's just a
terrible film and terrible writing. In the development, people fucked up.
Everybody the studio fucked up thinking this is an okay scene.
Uh And and then now I think the scene has
(59:53):
been removed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like they've they've announced that
they're actually gonna take the scene out. I think this
or like in the all the subsequent showings will not
have that part in Global Road Entertainment and the filmmakers
are saddened and apologize to any parents who feel the
scenes sends a message other than comedic moment. Yeah, it's
a fucking but it's a terrible I don't know, like, yeah,
(01:00:14):
when it's a kid film that you could look at
that and then but I guess that's what happens when
you have. I'm sure it's a lot of men who
are writing it to like, yeah, dude, yeah, and then
it's gonna end place when he's getting his balls grow up, dude,
and then that will be that. Not even thinking beyond
like how this could be communicated to a younger audience,
there's no way that it was intentional. But just as
(01:00:34):
a point of comparison, the producers of Sesame Street literally
changed the reality of their show and made Big Birds
imaginary friends snuff leff Agus real because they saw a
sixty minutes piece on child abuse and realized that it
would be sending the wrong message to have a narrative
where Big Bird isn't believed by adults. Oh, because in
(01:00:56):
the beginning, like adults would be like, we don't see
snuff A luffing this, and then it just like sends
this message that like, adults won't believe you if you
like to something. But now kids can't even have imaginary friends, right. Well, yeah,
but I think in this case there they were so
sensitive though to how kids were taking it in. They
were like, yo, we don't even want to get near
anything like that to be misconstrued by kids. It's like, yeah,
(01:01:18):
and I don't even think it was a political thing.
I just think that they want to make sure that
kids know that they can talk to adults and be
believed and taken seriously. Um so yeah, Hey, this just
all goes back to my theory that Sesame Street is
the best TV show. I also remember watching Sesame Street,
and then go back to my original point in the beginning,
(01:01:40):
I wasn't smart enough to even think that. I don't
think like, oh, they don't believe it's stuff. A lot
of kids is real Now when I tell an adults
something they're not, I didn't even I didn't even register
that well. But but I mean, you don't have the
self awareness to be in like I'm processing this information
in this way, you know what I mean? Like those
are skills you develop as you get older. Like a
lot of that ship just comes in in your subconscious
(01:02:02):
and you internalize. You don't even realize, like when you know,
I thought black people could only do their hair one
way based off TV shows, And I'm like, Dad, how
come you don't have a gun beat? It's because this
is guy. It is has been a pleasure having you

that going to do to? Okay? So, uh, there's this
group called Gossip and they did a cover of Argued
That Somebody by Aliyah and this is very low fi.
It's like kind of a rock cover. But this Lee
singer's voice is powerful and she's just giving it up
(01:03:54):
to the ghosts. Uh and yeah, this is from their
live in Liverpool albums. There's a live rendition of Gossip
covering are You that Somebody? By Aliyah? Uh, it's such
a good song. Oh yeah, general, Oh yeah. Eliah's music
is like not on any of the streaming service. It's
not anything right, it's not on titled I'm like find
her first album in some places. But yet whoever is
(01:04:18):
in charge of her music is not giving it up
