Speaker 1 (02:15):
What a day. It's actually it's Global Running Day, National

Two of the dang things and National Egg Day. I
feel like everybody's crowding on June second. You know there's third, Yeah,
some heavy hitters June third, there's some heavy hitters.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
It happened to eggs being really expensive? Wasn't that a
thing that long ago? Has that been solved?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I think it's. I think it's just on the list
of compounding.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I think it's I think it got overshadowed by gas
being so much more expensive, just like everything got it.
It was kind of a leading indicator of where we
were headed, as opposed to it came first. Yeah, but
they have gone down.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
We used to have ten chickens in our backyard laying eggs.
We finally got rid of them, and right when we did,
the egg prices went up.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Was shot through the roof fortune. Did you get rid
of them? Because they were charging They went on strike
and were charging crazy money.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I thought the market was like, we got rid of
them because because of the rats and because of the
early morning them waking us up. But when we finally
took away the coop, I found a pit in the
backyard that I guess they had dug dug behind the
coop that I never saw, and it had eighty eggs
in it, none of them edible rights worth of eggs
(03:49):
that they had filled up this pit.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Oh wow, I thought you're going to say you found
like little works of art that they had.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Eggs are works of art?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Head anyways, their God's work of art. So lost mattis
in there. My name is Jack O'Brien aka. We always
did feel the same, we just saw it from a
different point of view. Drinking mountain Dude. That one courtesy
of Zach van Noss on the Discord reference to about Dylan.
So I'm tangled up and blew in my uh my
(04:21):
dirty little secret, my guilty pledge. I like to drink
a mountain dew every once in a while. I like
to do the do as the kids say constantly they
did ago they still do.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
All right, here's a trivia question for you. Why did
where did mister pib come from? Why did they why
did they create mister Pib?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
They wanted like a less hoity toity doctor pepper that
were educated? Is that?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Were they right?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And they were like, well, doctor scare people. So we're
just gonna do a mister pip.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah, maybe people will get confused.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Do you want a doctor Pepper that hasn't gone to
seven years of college? Exactly. I'm thrilled to be joined
as always by my co host, mister Miles Gray.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, just back from the streets of London. It's the
Gray Gooner himself, the Lord of Lancasham, the Showgun window Gun.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Miles.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Great, thank you so much for having me back and
noise slowly recovering me, slowly recovering man slowly Gray Gooner.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That does not refer to him being an old man
who jacks off all the time. By the way, he is.
His last name is Gray and he's a fan of
That's the thing about art Man.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You can dance in the ambiguity.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
What do you mean you're jacks?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, exactly, that's right. With the Super Bowl, Yeah, Miles,
We're thrilled to be joined in their third seat by
someone who if I if I listed all his accomplishments,
we'd be here all day the night under breath.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I've got time.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It would be easier than talking about the news. But
he's a founder of Abominable Pictures, Emmy Award winning executive
producer of shows like Children's Hospital and tsfs dsu V Garfunkloes,
movies like David Wayne's The Ten, which he let me
come to many many years ago. That's how we first
set visit. That is well, we first met because you
(06:19):
submitted a great article to me when I was first
starting Cracked dot com, and then you needed to ask
for it back because the New Yorker wanted to print it,
and you were like very apologetic, and I was like, look, man,
it's like really an honor for it to be like
in the same negotiation with the New Yorkers, so like
this actually makes me feel cool. But anyways, he's also the.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Producers to get the New Yorker to pick up another piece.
Didn't realize how hard it was.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Also the producer of the podcast Mission Implausible that looks
at conspiracy theories through the eyes of two former CIA officers.
It's Jonathan start after air horn, You're getting the morning Zoo.
(07:13):
Here we are all together.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Her majesty has has has worked for both of these
gentlemen today. A lot of history of between Jack and
Jonathan and myself. It's nice to have everybody.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
To actually think it was around that meeting your wife.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
For some more John. Well, we call her her majesty.
I don't use her name, but I.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Can't do that. She was around when we did Wet
Hot American Summer Series. Yeah, what else was she?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Children's Hospital?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Well, Children's hospital. Yeah, I don't think she was around
when we did Murderville. I think Burning Gloves she was
there for anyway. I'm very fond.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Of her, just the great a lot of familiarity here.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah yeah, and uh, you guys had a kid, she
told me.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, three years old child.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, that's a legal name.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I heart made me do it in our lore, I
heart made you name.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
We're talking about the Studio City farmers Market. You know,
you're gonna be spending a lot of money on that
little petting zoo and those overpriced inflatable slides.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, Well we don't live we don't live
there anymore since we moved away, since that was like
right after the fire. When we're in Studio City.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But yeah, but my mom is still like in the
North Hollywood area, So yeah, we get over there every now,
every now and then.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Somebody recently had an underrated that was the smell of manure, right,
wasn't that? Yeah, I'm kind of on board because you
just mentioned a petting zoo and I was like, the
smell of a petting zoo is bad, but it also
reminds me of a petting zoo, which is always good.
You know, you're never like in a terrible situation when
you're near a petting zoo. That's depending, That's true.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's what I'm in it for. I actually have those
little fuckers. Yeah, but yeah, like definitely punching above its
weight in terms of like the raw quality of the
smell versus just all the associations of it. Sure, I
do kind of enjoy a petting zoo smell, all right, Jonathan.
A good tastes like a petting suit. A good cheese
tastes like a petting something.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's like kind of complex. Sometimes I'm like, is it
like petting zoo? And a lot of times people are
like no, and I'm like, I'm sorry, is it kind
of complex? I don't need to eat like chedder cheese.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yeah, I've prepared answers to all your questions. I'm not
going to be like stumbling around here. Don't worry.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Amazing, Well, I I lost a bet on that one.
I was like, this guy's going to be fucking stumbling.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
All over the over the place.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
We're going to get to know you a little bit
better and ask you some of those questions in a moment. First,
a couple of stories we're talking about. We're going to
look at some of the Republicans saddest attacks on James
tallerco in the the Texas Senate race. We're going to
look at the latest attack, the latest genius way that
(10:09):
hackers are attacking meta, which is just like asking them
for passwords. We will look at conspiracies specifically around the
Denver Airport.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
We did an episode.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, I know, so we want to we want to
get your tape because there's recent news that the Denver
Airport is opening its Illuminati tunnels to the public, which
is going to be very disappointing to a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh yeah, because they already had time to clear out
all the Illuminati sheet That's right, exactly, I should say,
a regular tunnel.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
All of that plenty more. But first, Jonathan, we do
like to ask our guests, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
All right? So I looked up my search history. The
first thing on it was what is the daily zeitgeist out?
Then Jack O'Brien feet, okay, okay, buddy, And then I
hope you didn't find any results down there. And then
(11:15):
the next thing was toe fungus varieties.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
You have no idea how real that is?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Then how come some of my email addresses and my
address book are not populating into my iPhone address book?
Not very illuminating, but I think a lot of people
could identify with that man and the Blue Voter Guide.
Because today is election day, primary day here in California.
Uh And I dropped off my ballot yesterday, waited till
(11:46):
the last moment, because that's that was the strategy that
they advised in case big things change. And you know,
we have three front runners for governor, one who's Republican.
It would be best to shut that publican out and
have the two front Democrats running for governor. Yeah, so
that's what's happening around here. Then, okay, I've looked up
(12:10):
back Rooms. I wanted to find out more what the
big deal about the movie back Rooms is? Now? I know, yeah,
the what you find, Yes, I just got to see it.
But I'm not going into the theater see it, Are
you kidding?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Kind of a hard one. Yeah, it's very vibe, s based,
there's not a lot of there's it's like, yeah, furniture
store and then Parallel Dimension.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
That's just not a movie theater movie for me. I
might go see Mandalorian and Grogo in the movie theater,
but otherwise the news Spiel Disclosure days like, that's a
movie theater movie. It's yeah, yeah, and apparently it's like
his best movie in twenty years. But I looked up
something called the strategist fallacy. I subscribe to a daily
(12:52):
blog called Strength and Numbers from a statistician named g
Elliott Morris, and it's a progress a liberal viewpoint at
looking at all of the political number polls, and it's fascinating.
It's also generally pretty upbeat from a Democrat point of view.
(13:13):
And he refers to something called the strategists fallacy. And
so what that is is the belief by political scientists
that the tweaking little things about oh, the candidate, he
should speak more about gas prices of like ten percent,
and if you spoke a little bit less about transgender sports,
(13:38):
then that'll make the difference, and that's the strategist fallacy
is saying, these strategists are just focusing on the fringes
of the fringes of what voters are really paying attention to,
and it's stuff that is out of their control, out
of the strategist's control. The fallacy is that they can
(13:59):
control or advise their way to success when it's really
much larger things and generally just the character and personality
of the candidate, not the issues and the perception of
well competency or number one issue for a lot of
races is who can beat the Trump candidate, who can
(14:21):
beat the maggot? Who's best position to meet the maggot candidate.
But my kids are voters now, one of them for
the first time, just now, and they both are kind
of single issue voters in the environment environmentalism, but not
entirely because they love the environment, as we all should,
but because that is a signifier of other issues. Someone
(14:45):
who votes right what i'll call right on the environment
generally is on the right side of all of these
other issues as well. And I'm not gonna pull punches
here and be like, well, I'm right to me or
my point of view. What's right now. This is another
fallacy that we see in the press. There is objectively
(15:06):
right and there is objectively wrong. There isn't two sides
to everything. There's objectively true and there's objectively a lie.
There's not baseless claims or unsupported position there's truth and
there's lies.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, first of all, the strategists thing. One of the
craziest anecdotes I ever heard was on one of those
crooked media podcasts where they were talking about how one
of the first thing that a political strategist does when
they meet a candidate is like look in their phone
and like add up all of the money of the
(15:42):
people who are in their contact list, Like see how
many like millionaires and billionaires are in there. And like
when you think, if you take for granted that like
it doesn't make it really that much of a different
much of a difference who the candidate or what the
candidate's positions are, and it's is like a foregone thing
based on that. It's just them being like, all right,
(16:04):
how much money can I like make off of the person? Straightforward?
Like any job, if you're just like, uh, yeah, you
want to work with me, let me look at your
phone and look at how much money you have. That
would be uh like that would be seen as a
little bit too like on the nose and transparent. But
in the world of like political strategists, they're like, no, no, no,
(16:25):
this is just for because because complex reasons.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You know. Well, I mean that is probably the number
one just defining factor of successful candidate is how much
money they can raise, right, sure, but not always anymore.
I see a lot of changes there too.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Well, yeah, a lot of a lot of candidates just
go from small small donors, individual donors and like the
old school version of like do you got like three
people that are willing to kick in millions and like
jump start this thing?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, but yeah, I do think generally with young people,
we've underestimated how much the environ it matters to that,
like even when people are like anxiety, like this young
generation has like more anxiety and like is more fucked
up than previous generations. Mentally, I really think the what
(17:13):
is happening with the environment, and how just impossible the
current system seems to make it, like with regards to
like doing anything about that has more to do with
that than people realize. But instead they're just like I
think it's their phones, which I think the phones aren't helping,
but I do, I do think Yeah, to just say
it's the phones, is that completely Yeah, Yeah, I think that. Yeah.
(17:36):
I think they're very smart and have good reasons to
be to feel anxiety about the state of the world. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
But yeah, that's the other thing is it doesn't the
things that are really affecting the voters who it's about turnout.
It's not about changing their mind. It's just about getting
them out to vote. And what's affecting them are the
things that are very low cost, right, yeah, right, you know,
well sadly AI viral videos or whatever. So what the
(18:07):
effectiveness is money? I think has changed oddly this season.
I've been invited to a lot of political fundraisers, which
I never had before. I don't nothing's changed about my
financial status. I'm still not a great target to donate
a lot of money to campaigns, but I've gone to
some of them because it's interesting to meet the candidates.
(18:27):
And Nthia Rahman i'd met her before. I just went
going to that fundraiser. Hearing her speak, not in a
debate setting, that was a real payoff benefit. I did
vote for her.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah, we had her on recently.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Oh okay, very good. We almost were going to host
a fundraiser here for her. But you know that's a
lot of work.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah right, You're like, yeah, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
John, What is something you think it is underrated?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
All right, let's look at my list. Well, you were
talking before this started about train travel as being underrated.
Now in America, our trains need a big upgrade. But
long distance train travel, I mean, I love taking the trail.
I haven't done it for a while, but the train
up to San Francisco from La it's one of the
most scenic train rides. And you can be in the
(19:21):
double decker and so you can great view. Food's terrible
and it takes weirdly like twelve hours to take a
train from Longtange to San Francisco. But if you're in
no hurry, and when we're used to be making Children's
hospital regularly, Rob Quadrey and I and whoever else from
the writing staff we could get to come with us,
(19:42):
we'd take a train cross country and have either the
beginning or the middle of the end of the writing
process kind of a brainstorm long distance brainstorm trip. It
takes two overnights and you switched trains in Chicago, but
I loved it. You would see things you can't see
from the car. You can't see. You just are visually
(20:04):
seeing the world in a way that's so relaxing. I
got no work done. I just stare out the window.
And you meet a lot of interesting people on the train.
The train may go out of your way to seat
people for meals, even if all the other tables are empty,
they have to fill up the four tops, and so
you meet people and it's like, Hey, who are all
(20:25):
these people from across country?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Is that why there are so many cows in that
season of Children's Hospital?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah, and then I'll throw in two more DTF Saint Louis,
HBO Max Show Starrying Jason Bateman. It's it's excellent. It's mystery,
it's a drama. The acting is amazing, it keeps you guessing.
(20:52):
Everything is just spot on. The title sucks, but the
title does relate to the show. It's a limited series,
you know, it's a It's a mystery and a show
that I work on regularly and I watch always. Last
Week Tonight with John Oliver. Being able to laugh at
the news is one of the best ways I can
(21:14):
deal with the news and it's he gets into the
depressing stuff, but at least it is entertaining.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Does good work. Yeah, they deserve all those emmys.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You shud know about.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Daniel O'Brien, who was one of our lead writers at Crackton,
is one of the lead writers over there.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Related to you, no, no, yeah, oh all right, just
a lot of O'Brien's out here.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Also unrelated to Conan both of us. With train travel
one of the like you really get a look at
because you know, like the highways are built around you know,
like that they were built and like towns bloomed up
around them. But like train tracks here, they're like cutting
through a version of the world that like doesn't really anymore,
(22:01):
you know, and so you're like seeing old like dilapidated
buildings and like just really like it's a bisection of
the country that you would like not otherwise see. I second,
it's that recommendation quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
It's like the back of the buildings as opposed to
the front.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Of them, Yeah, exactly, and you never see that. Yeah, yeah,
you're just like going through the back of a field
that Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I lived in New York for well decades, and my
parents lived in outside DC, and so that was always
a train trip going back and forth. It was the
fastest way to go, even if you weren't on the
metro liner. And yeah, you weren't seeing nature, you weren't
seeing beautiful landscapes. But I still found it fascinating. You're
seeing these industrial rundown areas and it's just uh, it's
(22:50):
it's you can see in people's windows, right, it's going
the road because you're driving.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, that section that goes through Philly is very interesting.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I was, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
What is something you think's overrated?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
All right, I haven't watched Euphoria. I assume that's overrated.
You are correct, Okay, you know the Freedom two fifty
concert is really overrated. I just don't think it's even
such a big that's gonna be so great.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Well, I agree with you. I am trying to move
these tickets that I bought to it, So could you
just like keep that quiet for a little bit until
I get somebody to buy. I was in it for
the Young MC performance and once he backed out.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
The met Gala. I'm tired of how much news space
is attributed to something that mom Donnie was right not
to go to it. Like it just this is why
the rest of America, who doesn't go to the MET
gala hates elites and hates you know, coastal elites. It's
just I don't know, the Met's doing fine financially.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The thing right that they were like, we're fully funded. Yeah,
like there's no need for this.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
We did an Icon episode, yeah about Anna Wintour and like,
what what the dirty little secret is? Like the costume
institute that gets funded by that has like last year
was like, guys, we have like too much money right now,
could you could you like stop donating money And they're like,
all right, we'll find something else to put it towards.
But it's it's not it's not necessary. They've dried it
(24:29):
into this massive cash behino.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
And it's clearly just no one's there because they believe
in the cause. It's just a competitive show off ring,
which and forget how much money goes into making the
costumes and all of that, but just raise the money
for I don't know, scholarships.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
WHOA Then it becomes any other fundraiser, right yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, fundraisers replaces that and you're good, but you do
it at the met great, call it the met Gallas,
but have a different receipt, right every year, change it
to something different every year.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
That is a good idea.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Thanks, Yeah, you can use that if you want.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
There you go. All right, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back to talk about the news.
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
We're back.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And so a couple high visibility Instagram accounts got hacked,
including Barack Obama his his White House account. Accounts belong
to Sephora, the makeup brand. US Space Force Chief Master
Sergeant John Benta Venna all right, what a name? Hell yeah,
(25:48):
that feels like that's just that's like the pope hat
of names, like you know, that giant pope hat that's
like in the room. Yeah yeah, Chief Masters sergeant all right,
spaceman yeah yeah yeah. But anyways, they got hacked, and
they apparently had an accomplice helping them from the inside,
(26:11):
and that is of course Meta's AI chatbot.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh man. So and they're just talking about how this
edit Meta AI is it's going to make everything easier, man,
it's going to make everything easier. And all they had
to they're just polite to it, basically.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yes, So they just asked it, I believe is the
technical term is the term? Yeah, So Telegram users have
been sharing screenshots of how they can easily hack meta
accounts by asking the chatbot two quote change the email
address associated with the target account, then just requesting a
(26:46):
password change, just like that's it. Nothing else.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I mean, I don't think any of us were trusting
Facebook Meta.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Before this, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I mean they were already. There was a book called
was It Terrible People? Awful People? Written by someone who
was high up in Facebook for a while and then left,
and it's all like, this isn't accidental. They knew all
of the stuff that Facebook has been accused of. Yeah,
isn't like, well, we're still figuring out the technology. We
(27:17):
don't know. We are careless people, thank you. We are
going to abuse the power of this platform. We are
going to intentionally try and affect politics in this country
and other countries. We move fast and break things.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Right, That's Facebook's motto. Their official motto is move fast
and break things. Like that was like organizing principle in
the early days, and like, I think what we've learned
is like that was actually then putting putting too nice
A spent on it. They were actually breaking things on purpose,
(27:56):
not like move fast and like some things get broken,
but then we use the those mistakes to like learn
It's like, no, we break things, we see that they're broken.
We don't care as long as we're still making a
lot of money.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, and break it a little bit more, stomp on
it a little bit more. Yeah, and then play with
those pieces. But I mean, yeah, the fact that something
like the Barack Obama's account CAUs be like, hey man,
this is Barack Obama, this is my email address, just
the end of the pastord.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Resembly, and it's like, yay, for sure, for sure, for sure,
but this is just a thing like speaking of moving
fast and breaking stuff like that, feels like the tech
industry has never backed away from that, and they're so
excited about the idea of AI that they're going to
be turning more and more things over to AI, whether
(28:44):
or not that is advisable in the least bit. And
nobody really knows. Nobody is going to be able to
definitively say no, it's not a good idea until you
know Barack Obama's Instagram account has been hacked or worse.
If you can imagine such a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, I mean so Forora, I imagine how they're feeling
over there. Just crazy though too that like there's no
like you can't even get to a human half the
time with like that of stuff. They're like, no, the
ai'll do everything. It's like no, no, no, it's not even
fucking understanding what I'm trying to say right now. I
need to talk to a human being right now who
can actually handle this.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah. Three months ago, Meta announced that the company would
be pushing AI support to all accounts across Facebook and Instagram,
giving it quote the ability to reset passwords and perform
other critical account maintenance functions. The press release bragged that
AI assistants can actually help you take action instead of
traditional help centers that just point you to articles.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, can take action, man, like hijacking Barack Obama's Instagram account.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
But like so Barack Obama once his Instagram account was hacked,
could could not like speak to a human to be like, hey,
this is not me? Could you sure sure it's Barack Obama? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, next try Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Anyways, that that is a frustrating world that we're I
feel like we don't have anyone hitting the brakes on
the AI stuff other than like people who write articles,
but not the people who are like actually investing money.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
But it's just like the worst ad for your AI
tools when it's it wasn't even something so nuanced then
merely being like I'm just gonna present myself as the
like rightful account holder of a thing I'm trying to hack,
and that's all it takes. There's there's no other real
measures to kind of prevent something like that, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,
(30:38):
we don't need that.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
And once there's one vulnerability with THEII, like everybody can
exploit that. Like whereas in the past, you know, you
find one person who's willing to do this, they get
like reprimanded or something, and like that gets changed. But
with AI, it's like you find the vulnerability and then
like you can just exploit it over and over and
over again into before anybody notices it, right, which seems bad. Miles.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
We'll see, well, what's the new Claude thing that they're
rolling out That is, I'll look up the name while
you guys are bullshitting next. But it's uh uh supposedly
there will be no security left. It will be able
to crack any account any password, any any firewalls.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Right, great, great, great, we think that's that we're actually,
oh is that part of like Mythos or whatever that project?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah? Yeah, and what do they claim is the best?
Like this thing with with Facebook. I do remember Zuckerberg
being like, well, why would you want privacy? Are you
doing something bad?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I don't understand, right, It's like he wants privacy, all right,
your emails.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
He's bught entire blocks of mansions just so that nobody
can be anywhere near him and his family. Peter Teal
is moving to our Argentina. So yeah, they seem to
value their own privacy. Good look, good, look.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I love when I love when people who might be
evil or like, I'm gonna go to Argentina. Actually you
know what story tradition of real good guys fleeing Argentina.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
That's right, And it's a wonderful culture there. Yeah, that
nice place to live. Probably, I love.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I feel like beef, get out there, get out there.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
You know when they say where's the beef or Argentina.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, that's it. The Patagonia moment. Let's see the Republicans
are trying out attacks on James Tallerco in the Texas Senate.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Crying out, it's there they're running out of ideas. Man,
that they're so stale in their rhetorical attacks recently on candidates,
but it feels like they're tailored to appeal to like
a male gym teacher born before nineteen sixty. It's like
Trump was like, he's got six genders, is what he said.
I think last week we talked about someone being like
he's vegan.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I think it's because he said something about God having
many expressed like forms of expression.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Like how many genders? How many genders? Is James Tyler?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And then I think in Trump's brain he goes, well,
He's got six genders. Taller Rico.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
He's like, when he claims that he wants transgender for everyone,
is that one of the things that he says, transgender
for everyone? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Like again, as if that's like a like a happy
Honda Day's campaign that they do. It's like, hey, guys,
it's Pride month, It's transgender for everyone. Uh, And now
you know they're just doing this like just the most
fucking surface level attacks on like masculinity to try and
be like yeah, and that's why this guy shouldn't be
(33:43):
here on Newsmax. Recently, on The Todd Starns Show, he
was like, I think I've got a way to like
really Like last week I was talking about how Benny
Johnson was sort of like, I know how to I
know how to get this guy so tripped up on
a debate stage. I'm gonna ask him, is got a man?
Or like just these really stupid things? Oh, and can
we see your girlfriend? Because everyone's obsessed with James Tallerico's
(34:06):
girlfriend because he's like, I'm keeping that part of my
life private and they're.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Like, oh, oh you got you got no girlfriend? Oh
that's weird, that's weird. Wink wink wink, And everyone's like,
what do you? What do you?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
What's the implication here?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Wow, James taller Rico space The very first Google autocomplete
is girlfriend yeah yeah yeah yeah so then wife yeah,
then then age, then partner yes christ So. Todd Starns
also jumped in there and.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Being like this guy I think might be a little
like not like a big straight warrior man the sort
of lower third.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
While this guy's talking.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Says tofu Tyler Rico flips on meatless campaign and here's
Todd Starns being like, I think, I think, I know
if it's something we should ask Tyler Rico on the
debate stage.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Sure, who's going to be anchoring the first debate between
those two? But my first, if I was invited, would
be mister tall Rico. Now, have you, now, as a
thirty seven year old man, finally come to terms with
your manhood or do you serve perhaps have an affinity
for frilly underpants?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
What's up with that?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
What where did that come from?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
This guy? By the way, this is the guy who's
talking just for people. Aren't watching to picture like just
sculpted out of marble? Absolute alpha man.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, if marble was made of cookie dough, he was
fully sculpted from that frilly. Maybe he likes frilly underpants.
That's not going to connect with people of most ages.
They're like, what the fuck is frilly on?
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Yeah, they don't even know what it is.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, I'm like, what are we evoking here?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I'm preaturing like Looney Tunes, where like bugs Bunny's doing
dress up or something.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
By the way, I'm sure he wears boxer briefs, right everyone?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, but are they frilly? Okay?
Speaker 1 (35:58):
We actually wear tax ill I wear tea backs for
taller rico. I like to have my yeeks out.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I don't like pante lions when I'm wearing my slacks.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Tommy Tuberville, who he must have CTE just from coaching football,
didn't do any better when he attacked the like again,
this whole line of attack on like the Democrats man
like they gave up on men or whatever the attack
dejour is. But this was in line with the tall
Rico thing. This was Tommy Tubberville's attack on on the
(36:30):
mainstream Democrats and that they've This was again the lower
third of this segment was U, Dems have a men problem.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Well, first of all, the Democrats have left the building.
Then the are now called the socialist globalist Democrats. And
it's just unfortunate. They've left her base. Will they left
her base and middle class and union workers. And now
their new girlfriend is illegal aliens and women.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
That's my girlfriend, girlfriends and women.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
That's a good fits right. Oh yeah, your new.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Girlfriend is women women? What looks what it looks like?
Speaker 4 (37:12):
You said, Democrats have amen amen problem as a problem.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Yeah, that John, that too, brother. They got an Amen. Problem,
they're not saying it enough. Get on their knees and
they got amen. Problem the men is what their new
girlfriend should be is amen? Well, their new girlfriend is women?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, okay, hey buddy, yeah, cutting, cutting, cutting Tommy.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Their their new girlfriend is pre those Republicans is teenage girls.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah yeah right, and then they know their new girlfriend
is epstein files. They don't like talking about that. Yeah,
I'm sure the back around.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah, I'm sure that the tax will get much more
depraved as we get closer to election day. But it's
the first poll since the Republican runoff happened in Texas
had tall Rico ahead three points over Paxton, so the
statistical tie at the moment, So I'm sure maybe they're
a b testing will go freely underpants. We'll go he's vegan,
(38:15):
he has nine genders, and then well, I'm sure they'll
find him a line of attack that doesn't work and
go with that.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
He has six genders, he's vegan and weird?
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Did they find any real skeletons in his closet? What
happened a good old opposition research where you looked for
real things.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I mean, this guy's probably they you know, they've they've found.
They've done anything they can right to sort of like
unsettle this guy and sort of change the optics. But
the best they can do is he's he's keeping his
relationship private and he's vagan.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
All right, man, I'm sure exactly how to pronounce that.
You're gonna come back to that from Las Vegas. Let's
take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll get
to the real conspiracy theories about how the Illuminati is
running the world from underneath the Denver International Airport. We'll
be right back, and we are back. We're back, and
(39:26):
the Denver International Airport is for people who aren't kind
of red up on their conspiracy theories. The Denver International
Airport is a is a real hot spot. Now, the
pieces of evidence that I've seen are they got a
scary horse outside, scary horse sculpture and what you called Blucifer. Yeah,
(39:50):
uh huh. I mean it's actually officially titled it's officially
titled Mustang, but the conspiracy theories gave it the name
Blucifer because it's a blue horse and it's a eyes
do glow red.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Here's something you may not know about that, but it
killed the artist who made it when they were on them,
when they were craning it lifting it out of his studio,
a cable broke and it swung and it killed the artist.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Okay, I'm I'm on board with the conspiracy theories. Haunting
does it its eyes actually glow red? Right, that's not
a thing that's being.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Added for They're not glowing red.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Yeah, right, right right.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
I do like the idea that's just doing like the
bas meme, like from the internet, just like the glowing
red eyes.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yes. The other big thing is that there are there
is a secret network of tunnels underneath the Denver Airport
that people have decided would probably be where the Illuminati,
the powers that be go to, not on any of
the secret islands that they all own, and it were
on the you know, bill million dollar yachts that they own,
(41:01):
but underneath the Denver Airport is probably where they go
to hatch their schemes. And also I think there's some
theory that like they're somehow immune to like nuclear.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
World, they could serve as like a bunker of some kind.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
It's like where they go. But Jonathan, is this something
that you were aware of prior to your work on
Mission Implausible.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Probably only in the back of my head somewhere, but
you're right, Jack. We did do an episode of it
on Mission Implausible because it's such a classic conspiracy theory.
And I talked to people at Denver Airport. I talked
to some journalists who had visited, and then I also
talked to people who construct underground bunkers for survivalists, and
(41:50):
I got pretty in depth in it as kind of
a researcher. And here's my conclusion is that there isn't
a bunker like that under Denver International Airport, but there
is somewhere else, maybe not twenty two miles but of area.
(42:10):
But they that is how you would have built it.
Cut and cover, dig a hole, perfect situation for them
to do it. The only thing that doesn't add up
is why would you need to put an airport on
top of it, a big international airport on top of it.
And I mean the reason people think is so that
all the rich people can fly in and there's a
(42:32):
place for them to land. But you don't need the
world's biggest country's biggest international airport to allow rich people
to fly in and land.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Rich people love to fly commercial. In my experience, right.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
Also, there's a rumor that is a train underground train
tunnel team AD and the what's the bunker the military
bunker that's at nor Ad which is spitting distance away.
Maybe there is. I don't see what the benefit would be,
but I came away thinking like, yeah, physically this could
(43:09):
have been done. Logically it wouldn't have been there. And
here's the thing that we come up with about so
many conspiracy theories. Too many people were in on it,
would have had to know about it. You can't just
keep all of these construction workers and be like, look,
you just work on this area and you won't know
(43:30):
about anything else. People would know. And the rule of
thumbs is conspiracy theories. If more than three people know
about something, it's going to get out, so that somehow
that information would have leaked out. But there's just so
much artwork in the airport, and a lot of it
(43:51):
people think, Okay, this proves it, this proves its people
expected society collapse or whatever. There's just so much artwork
that statistically you will find some that support pretty much
any position you would have.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Yeah. One of the pieces of our work that they
point to is a mural called Children of the world
Dream of Peace sounds innocuous enough, but there is an
individual painting. It's a series, and one of the paintings
has children sleeping as a giant skeleton soldier holds an
(44:27):
AK forty seven over them and is like swinging a
sword down at them. And people are like, the clues
are all there, mister policeman. They gave us all the clues.
But yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
Is a bit of a wild painting to have in
an airport.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
In an airport, airports are always like kind of dancing
that line between like we got this like local artist
who's like really challenging to like create a work of art,
and then like sometimes it's like, whoa, they really went
went off on that one. By the way, the Mustang's
eyes do light up there, illuminated red eyes illumin what illuminati? Okay, okay,
(45:09):
all right.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
So the other problem with it. Does anyone see this
show Paradise?
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I just started watching it with Brown.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
Yeah, it's a fun show. And the first season anyway,
and a lot of sex. Season takes place at basically
a version of this what people say is underground in Denver,
where all the elites had secretly built this city that
they can live in and wait out until the earth
is habitable again for like a generation or two. First
(45:40):
of all, and it's in the side from what I
watching this stuff and talking to people about this stuff,
I think I would rather just take my chances on
the surface, even if that is like instant death. It
just seems so miserable. But the moment that shit starts
going down, the concept of money has no meaning. Yeah. Yeah,
(46:03):
so like, all right, a picture you Jack, are in uh,
I don't know you're in Minneapolis. You hear that there's
nuclear war starting. Everyone knows it's nuclear war starting, and
you're like, character, better get to Denver Airport. All right,
where's my pilot, Hey, pilot, fly me to Denver Airport
(46:25):
and then leave.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
Get out of here, and don't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
I've got a better idea. You stay here, I'll get
my family. We'll fly to Denver Purple. There's no who why,
there's no such thing as an employee employee or let's
say you trick everyone into it. Now people are in
the bunker and then it's like, all right, you're my
security guard. No I'm not, you're my security guard.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yeah, how about that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (46:52):
Yeah, we had the Douglas rushkoff On who wrote that
book Survival of the Richest of like the escape fantasies
of tech billionaires.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
And it's a good one. He was bringing that up too.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
It was just sort of like that, even these guys
are like, well, what do we do, like give them
exploding shop callers, so they're like, or do we say
we have the only key for the food so if
we're gone, no one gets food. Like having to game
out what happens when it becomes about purely survival, because
everyone at the end of the day, you're gonna be
Billy saying at the end of Titanic, okay, and the
(47:23):
guy's gonna be like, your money is no fucking good, bro,
Everyone's fucking.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
About to go down. Get the fuck out of my face.
Speaker 4 (47:29):
Right Like, all right, well, instead, we'll have passcodes to
get into the food vault and you'll have to get it.
I'm memorizing. It's like, all right, well, how many limbs
will you allow to be cut off before you give
them that pass code?
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Right? We talk about this. There's this interview with a
Silicon Valley like venture capital millionaire who is just like
one of the only conversations I hear consistently at these
like parties with millionaires and billionaires and in the tech
industry is do you shoot the pilot? Like, do you
(48:06):
when the pilot takes you to your to your bunker?
Do you shoot them? So they, uh, Jonathan, they've gamed
that out. Actually they're they're one step ahead of you.
Just I want to give our listeners all the clues,
because there's some pretty compelling stuff here. Also, the runways
are supposedly shaped like a giant swastika. How does that
(48:26):
help them in any way? The clues get They like
to They like to do clues. That's one thing we
know about the like Taylor swift Man, you think they
drew the dollar bill like that?
Speaker 1 (48:41):
You know, yeah, Like, I mean if you only fill
in lines, that would make a swastik of the numerous
roads and structures in the airport. I mean, you could
make all kinds of ship out of this. But they're like,
look at that, dude, it's a completely imperfect, lopsided swashi.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
It's the most lopsided shitty swastika ever. They But yeah,
the tunnels are the main thing. I had never read
the actual origins of the tunnels and it's just a
failed project by United and the Denver Airport. United was like, hey,
why don't you create like automated, an automated system that
(49:20):
takes all the luggage and like transport it transports it
exactly where we wanted to go. And they tried it
and they were not up to the task. It fucked
up constantly. Bags were constantly being sent to the wrong
put on the wrong flight, and so they had to
give up. And then they started just using the tunnels
(49:43):
for like people driving carts, like the same thing that
happens at every other airport. It's just like now happening
in tunnels that also have these big conveyor belts that
nobody uses in them. Now.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Yeah, I mean the terminals are so mean because if
you have to take that train underneath the airport, you know,
if you're going from terminal to terminal, and like the
other thing is too, like if that train goes down,
a lot of people are missing flights and it turns
into chaos. Although they say it's you know, it's working
ninety nine percent of the time, but that one percent
could just cause so many issues. So I probably like, yeah,
I guess we're gonna maybe open up the tunnels as
(50:19):
a just sort of a backstop to that.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
Yeah, but opening up the tunnels feels like it's bad
for the conspiracy theory industry. There's there's a good screencap
of a YouTube page that our writer Jam brought that says,
I saw what's under the Denver Airport and the person
is giving a shocked look in the in the image
and the truth under Denver Airport and there's a like
(50:47):
literal like cartoon child devil walking through a corridor.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
This depiction of like a demon is weird because it
looks like the tail is coming from the center of
its back, which.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
Is a tale to Yeah, I don't know how they've
constructed this. It feels like they constructed it from too
tall a dinosaur to the tail.
Speaker 4 (51:07):
But so now the airport has tried to make a
fun thing about it. Hey come to Denver Airport and
meet the aliens and yeah, it's okay, great, But the
conspiracy theorists will say, that's exactly what if the scent.
Speaker 3 (51:23):
Lean into it, lean into it. They've been playing into
the conspiracy theory. There's an ad or a sign that
was posted as they were, you know, doing construction somewhere,
and you know, there's always fun signs to apologize for construction.
It's like, excuse our mess. Yeah right where we're we're
in the process of getting beautiful. Yeah exactly. They always
(51:46):
decided to get cute with those signs. And the Denver
Airport no different. They said, thanks for being patient. The
lizard people keep stealing air tools.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
I mean, that's exactly glee what they'd fucking because they
fucking are Like.
Speaker 3 (52:04):
Conspiracy theory is like see, hey, man, where's that jackhammer?
Fuck the lizard people stole it again, God damn it.
Speaker 4 (52:14):
A good conspiracy theory is one in which every counter
argument actually just reinforces the belief of conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (52:22):
That's right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
So they've got a perfect one right here.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
You know. God, get us in those tunnels, Man, get
me down there. It's gonna suck. I'll fight these lizard people. Man,
just give me in their role. Let me bang, bro,
let me fight them all bro.
Speaker 4 (52:43):
By the way, if there if there was nuclear the
e MP blast from nuclear war would make the jet
planes inoperable. But yeah right yeah, if you really want
to get into it, yeah right, the cars won't start.
Speaker 1 (52:56):
Yeah, that's why I'm also like when I just I
just watched The Bone Temple, the twenty eight years later one,
and I'm like so glad because this was like my
weird pair brain thing when I, like in college, I
was like, bro when the EMP shit, bro, I got
this vinyl collection dog, yeah fucking MP three, and all
he had was like Duran, Duran.
Speaker 3 (53:16):
You know, I forgot the other album into the movie
that they can only listen to vinyl. He's got these
vinyl but he is he cranking it a little bit.
He had to start to start it.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then I think he might have
a solar panel somewhere maybe maybe, but he's doing it.
Speaker 4 (53:31):
He's doing it, but he's just listening to the same
few albums over and yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
Yeah, it's what he used to do. I used to
I have my CD book and then it got stolen
and I had the CD that was in my car
CD player.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Forever, the soundtrack of your car forever.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
That's right. Jonathan's term, such a pleasure having you on
the DAO, like where can people find you? Follow you?

looking for people to follow me, but I'll promote some stuff.
The This is an older one. Five years ago, we
did a show called Medical Police. It's a spin off
(54:20):
of Children's Hospital. It's on Netflix. But I'm always reminding
people about a worldwide pandemic. Came out in January twenty
twenty before the before we created it. I guess fictionally September.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
Thirty about a worldwide pandemic.
Speaker 4 (54:38):
That's exactly right, and I love it. September thirteenth, on
Adult Swim is a new live action sketch comedy series
called The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza. Earlier than that, in
the beginning of August, there's a new microdrama vertical platform
called a Twist, and they're doing some tip coal romantic
(55:01):
drama micro dramas the verticals, and they're doing a bunch
of other interesting stuff. And I am doing a parody,
a comedy version making fun of microdramas, and that'll go
up in August. We actually just finished shooting it two
days ago, temporarily maybe permanently, called My Billionaire Kidney, so
(55:23):

got some news from being on the FBI's watch list.
He created a website that people can. We believe is
yeah you can. You can report people you want that
(56:04):
you think are legal immigrants and should be deported. And
he records these conversations he has with them and it
just really highlights not just the absurdity but the evilness
of so much of this. And it's funny and he
does a lot of other things like that. Ben Palmer.
Speaker 1 (56:22):

Two of the dang things and National Egg Day. I
feel like everybody's crowding on June second. You know there's third, Yeah,
some heavy hitters June third, there's some heavy hitters.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
It happened to eggs being really expensive? Wasn't that a
thing that long ago? Has that been solved?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I think it's. I think it's just on the list
of compounding.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I think it's I think it got overshadowed by gas
being so much more expensive, just like everything got it.
It was kind of a leading indicator of where we
were headed, as opposed to it came first. Yeah, but
they have gone down.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
We used to have ten chickens in our backyard laying eggs.
We finally got rid of them, and right when we did,
the egg prices went up.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Was shot through the roof fortune. Did you get rid
of them? Because they were charging They went on strike
and were charging crazy money.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I thought the market was like, we got rid of
them because because of the rats and because of the
early morning them waking us up. But when we finally
took away the coop, I found a pit in the
backyard that I guess they had dug dug behind the
coop that I never saw, and it had eighty eggs
in it, none of them edible rights worth of eggs
(03:49):
that they had filled up this pit.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Oh wow, I thought you're going to say you found
like little works of art that they had.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Eggs are works of art?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Head anyways, their God's work of art. So lost mattis
in there. My name is Jack O'Brien aka. We always
did feel the same, we just saw it from a
different point of view. Drinking mountain Dude. That one courtesy
of Zach van Noss on the Discord reference to about Dylan.
So I'm tangled up and blew in my uh my
(04:21):
dirty little secret, my guilty pledge. I like to drink
a mountain dew every once in a while. I like
to do the do as the kids say constantly they
did ago they still do.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
All right, here's a trivia question for you. Why did
where did mister pib come from? Why did they why
did they create mister Pib?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
They wanted like a less hoity toity doctor pepper that
were educated? Is that?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Were they right?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And they were like, well, doctor scare people. So we're
just gonna do a mister pip.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah, maybe people will get confused.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Do you want a doctor Pepper that hasn't gone to
seven years of college? Exactly. I'm thrilled to be joined
as always by my co host, mister Miles Gray.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, just back from the streets of London. It's the
Gray Gooner himself, the Lord of Lancasham, the Showgun window Gun.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Great, thank you so much for having me back and
noise slowly recovering me, slowly recovering man slowly Gray Gooner.

His last name is Gray and he's a fan of
That's the thing about art Man.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You can dance in the ambiguity.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
What do you mean you're jacks?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, exactly, that's right. With the Super Bowl, Yeah, Miles,
We're thrilled to be joined in their third seat by
someone who if I if I listed all his accomplishments,
we'd be here all day the night under breath.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I've got time.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It would be easier than talking about the news. But
he's a founder of Abominable Pictures, Emmy Award winning executive
producer of shows like Children's Hospital and tsfs dsu V Garfunkloes,
movies like David Wayne's The Ten, which he let me
come to many many years ago. That's how we first
set visit. That is well, we first met because you
(06:19):
submitted a great article to me when I was first
starting Cracked dot com, and then you needed to ask
for it back because the New Yorker wanted to print it,
and you were like very apologetic, and I was like, look, man,
it's like really an honor for it to be like
in the same negotiation with the New Yorkers, so like
this actually makes me feel cool. But anyways, he's also the.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Producers to get the New Yorker to pick up another piece.
Didn't realize how hard it was.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Also the producer of the podcast Mission Implausible that looks
at conspiracy theories through the eyes of two former CIA officers.
It's Jonathan start after air horn, You're getting the morning Zoo.
(07:13):
Here we are all together.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Her majesty has has has worked for both of these
gentlemen today. A lot of history of between Jack and
Jonathan and myself. It's nice to have everybody.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
To actually think it was around that meeting your wife.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
For some more John. Well, we call her her majesty.
I don't use her name, but I.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Can't do that. She was around when we did Wet
Hot American Summer Series. Yeah, what else was she?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Children's Hospital?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Well, Children's hospital. Yeah, I don't think she was around
when we did Murderville. I think Burning Gloves she was
there for anyway. I'm very fond.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Of her, just the great a lot of familiarity here.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah yeah, and uh, you guys had a kid, she
told me.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, three years old child.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, that's a legal name.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I heart made me do it in our lore, I
heart made you name.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
We're talking about the Studio City farmers Market. You know,
you're gonna be spending a lot of money on that
little petting zoo and those overpriced inflatable slides.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, Well we don't live we don't live
there anymore since we moved away, since that was like
right after the fire. When we're in Studio City.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But yeah, but my mom is still like in the
North Hollywood area, So yeah, we get over there every now,
every now and then.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Somebody recently had an underrated that was the smell of manure, right,
wasn't that? Yeah, I'm kind of on board because you
just mentioned a petting zoo and I was like, the
smell of a petting zoo is bad, but it also
reminds me of a petting zoo, which is always good.
You know, you're never like in a terrible situation when
you're near a petting zoo. That's depending, That's true.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's what I'm in it for. I actually have those
little fuckers. Yeah, but yeah, like definitely punching above its
weight in terms of like the raw quality of the
smell versus just all the associations of it. Sure, I
do kind of enjoy a petting zoo smell, all right, Jonathan.
A good tastes like a petting suit. A good cheese
tastes like a petting something.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's like kind of complex. Sometimes I'm like, is it
like petting zoo? And a lot of times people are
like no, and I'm like, I'm sorry, is it kind
of complex? I don't need to eat like chedder cheese.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yeah, I've prepared answers to all your questions. I'm not
going to be like stumbling around here. Don't worry.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Amazing, Well, I I lost a bet on that one.
I was like, this guy's going to be fucking stumbling.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
All over the over the place.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
We're going to get to know you a little bit
better and ask you some of those questions in a moment. First,
a couple of stories we're talking about. We're going to
look at some of the Republicans saddest attacks on James
tallerco in the the Texas Senate race. We're going to
look at the latest attack, the latest genius way that
(10:09):
hackers are attacking meta, which is just like asking them
for passwords. We will look at conspiracies specifically around the
Denver Airport.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
We did an episode.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, I know, so we want to we want to
get your tape because there's recent news that the Denver
Airport is opening its Illuminati tunnels to the public, which
is going to be very disappointing to a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh yeah, because they already had time to clear out
all the Illuminati sheet That's right, exactly, I should say,
a regular tunnel.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
All of that plenty more. But first, Jonathan, we do
like to ask our guests, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
All right? So I looked up my search history. The
first thing on it was what is the daily zeitgeist out?
Then Jack O'Brien feet, okay, okay, buddy, And then I
hope you didn't find any results down there. And then
(11:15):
the next thing was toe fungus varieties.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
You have no idea how real that is?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Then how come some of my email addresses and my
address book are not populating into my iPhone address book?
Not very illuminating, but I think a lot of people
could identify with that man and the Blue Voter Guide.
Because today is election day, primary day here in California.
Uh And I dropped off my ballot yesterday, waited till
(11:46):
the last moment, because that's that was the strategy that
they advised in case big things change. And you know,
we have three front runners for governor, one who's Republican.
It would be best to shut that publican out and
have the two front Democrats running for governor. Yeah, so
that's what's happening around here. Then, okay, I've looked up
(12:10):
back Rooms. I wanted to find out more what the
big deal about the movie back Rooms is? Now? I know, yeah,
the what you find, Yes, I just got to see it.
But I'm not going into the theater see it, Are
you kidding?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Kind of a hard one. Yeah, it's very vibe, s based,
there's not a lot of there's it's like, yeah, furniture
store and then Parallel Dimension.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
That's just not a movie theater movie for me. I
might go see Mandalorian and Grogo in the movie theater,
but otherwise the news Spiel Disclosure days like, that's a
movie theater movie. It's yeah, yeah, and apparently it's like
his best movie in twenty years. But I looked up
something called the strategist fallacy. I subscribe to a daily
(12:52):
blog called Strength and Numbers from a statistician named g
Elliott Morris, and it's a progress a liberal viewpoint at
looking at all of the political number polls, and it's fascinating.
It's also generally pretty upbeat from a Democrat point of view.
(13:13):
And he refers to something called the strategists fallacy. And
so what that is is the belief by political scientists
that the tweaking little things about oh, the candidate, he
should speak more about gas prices of like ten percent,
and if you spoke a little bit less about transgender sports,
(13:38):
then that'll make the difference, and that's the strategist fallacy
is saying, these strategists are just focusing on the fringes
of the fringes of what voters are really paying attention to,
and it's stuff that is out of their control, out
of the strategist's control. The fallacy is that they can
(13:59):
control or advise their way to success when it's really
much larger things and generally just the character and personality
of the candidate, not the issues and the perception of
well competency or number one issue for a lot of
races is who can beat the Trump candidate, who can
(14:21):
beat the maggot? Who's best position to meet the maggot candidate.
But my kids are voters now, one of them for
the first time, just now, and they both are kind
of single issue voters in the environment environmentalism, but not
entirely because they love the environment, as we all should,
but because that is a signifier of other issues. Someone
(14:45):
who votes right what i'll call right on the environment
generally is on the right side of all of these
other issues as well. And I'm not gonna pull punches
here and be like, well, I'm right to me or
my point of view. What's right now. This is another
fallacy that we see in the press. There is objectively
(15:06):
right and there is objectively wrong. There isn't two sides
to everything. There's objectively true and there's objectively a lie.
There's not baseless claims or unsupported position there's truth and
there's lies.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, first of all, the strategists thing. One of the
craziest anecdotes I ever heard was on one of those
crooked media podcasts where they were talking about how one
of the first thing that a political strategist does when
they meet a candidate is like look in their phone
and like add up all of the money of the
(15:42):
people who are in their contact list, Like see how
many like millionaires and billionaires are in there. And like
when you think, if you take for granted that like
it doesn't make it really that much of a different
much of a difference who the candidate or what the
candidate's positions are, and it's is like a foregone thing
based on that. It's just them being like, all right,
(16:04):
how much money can I like make off of the person? Straightforward?
Like any job, if you're just like, uh, yeah, you
want to work with me, let me look at your
phone and look at how much money you have. That
would be uh like that would be seen as a
little bit too like on the nose and transparent. But
in the world of like political strategists, they're like, no, no, no,
(16:25):
this is just for because because complex reasons.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You know. Well, I mean that is probably the number
one just defining factor of successful candidate is how much
money they can raise, right, sure, but not always anymore.
I see a lot of changes there too.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Well, yeah, a lot of a lot of candidates just
go from small small donors, individual donors and like the
old school version of like do you got like three
people that are willing to kick in millions and like
jump start this thing?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, but yeah, I do think generally with young people,
we've underestimated how much the environ it matters to that,
like even when people are like anxiety, like this young
generation has like more anxiety and like is more fucked
up than previous generations. Mentally, I really think the what
(17:13):
is happening with the environment, and how just impossible the
current system seems to make it, like with regards to
like doing anything about that has more to do with
that than people realize. But instead they're just like I
think it's their phones, which I think the phones aren't helping,
but I do, I do think Yeah, to just say
it's the phones, is that completely Yeah, Yeah, I think that. Yeah.
(17:36):
I think they're very smart and have good reasons to
be to feel anxiety about the state of the world. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
But yeah, that's the other thing is it doesn't the
things that are really affecting the voters who it's about turnout.
It's not about changing their mind. It's just about getting
them out to vote. And what's affecting them are the
things that are very low cost, right, yeah, right, you know,
well sadly AI viral videos or whatever. So what the
(18:07):
effectiveness is money? I think has changed oddly this season.
I've been invited to a lot of political fundraisers, which
I never had before. I don't nothing's changed about my
financial status. I'm still not a great target to donate
a lot of money to campaigns, but I've gone to
some of them because it's interesting to meet the candidates.
(18:27):
And Nthia Rahman i'd met her before. I just went
going to that fundraiser. Hearing her speak, not in a
debate setting, that was a real payoff benefit. I did
vote for her.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah, we had her on recently.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Oh okay, very good. We almost were going to host
a fundraiser here for her. But you know that's a
lot of work.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah right, You're like, yeah, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
John, What is something you think it is underrated?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
All right, let's look at my list. Well, you were
talking before this started about train travel as being underrated.
Now in America, our trains need a big upgrade. But
long distance train travel, I mean, I love taking the trail.
I haven't done it for a while, but the train
up to San Francisco from La it's one of the
most scenic train rides. And you can be in the
(19:21):
double decker and so you can great view. Food's terrible
and it takes weirdly like twelve hours to take a
train from Longtange to San Francisco. But if you're in
no hurry, and when we're used to be making Children's
hospital regularly, Rob Quadrey and I and whoever else from
the writing staff we could get to come with us,
(19:42):
we'd take a train cross country and have either the
beginning or the middle of the end of the writing
process kind of a brainstorm long distance brainstorm trip. It
takes two overnights and you switched trains in Chicago, but
I loved it. You would see things you can't see
from the car. You can't see. You just are visually
(20:04):
seeing the world in a way that's so relaxing. I
got no work done. I just stare out the window.
And you meet a lot of interesting people on the train.
The train may go out of your way to seat
people for meals, even if all the other tables are empty,
they have to fill up the four tops, and so
you meet people and it's like, Hey, who are all
(20:25):
these people from across country?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Is that why there are so many cows in that
season of Children's Hospital?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah, and then I'll throw in two more DTF Saint Louis,
HBO Max Show Starrying Jason Bateman. It's it's excellent. It's mystery,
it's a drama. The acting is amazing, it keeps you guessing.
(20:52):
Everything is just spot on. The title sucks, but the
title does relate to the show. It's a limited series,
you know, it's a It's a mystery and a show
that I work on regularly and I watch always. Last
Week Tonight with John Oliver. Being able to laugh at
the news is one of the best ways I can
(21:14):
deal with the news and it's he gets into the
depressing stuff, but at least it is entertaining.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Does good work. Yeah, they deserve all those emmys.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You shud know about.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Daniel O'Brien, who was one of our lead writers at Crackton,
is one of the lead writers over there.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Related to you, no, no, yeah, oh all right, just
a lot of O'Brien's out here.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Also unrelated to Conan both of us. With train travel
one of the like you really get a look at
because you know, like the highways are built around you know,
like that they were built and like towns bloomed up
around them. But like train tracks here, they're like cutting
through a version of the world that like doesn't really anymore,
(22:01):
you know, and so you're like seeing old like dilapidated
buildings and like just really like it's a bisection of
the country that you would like not otherwise see. I second,
it's that recommendation quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
It's like the back of the buildings as opposed to
the front.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Of them, Yeah, exactly, and you never see that. Yeah, yeah,
you're just like going through the back of a field
that Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I lived in New York for well decades, and my
parents lived in outside DC, and so that was always
a train trip going back and forth. It was the
fastest way to go, even if you weren't on the
metro liner. And yeah, you weren't seeing nature, you weren't
seeing beautiful landscapes. But I still found it fascinating. You're
seeing these industrial rundown areas and it's just uh, it's
(22:50):
it's you can see in people's windows, right, it's going
the road because you're driving.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, that section that goes through Philly is very interesting.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I was, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
What is something you think's overrated?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
All right, I haven't watched Euphoria. I assume that's overrated.
You are correct, Okay, you know the Freedom two fifty
concert is really overrated. I just don't think it's even
such a big that's gonna be so great.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Well, I agree with you. I am trying to move
these tickets that I bought to it, So could you
just like keep that quiet for a little bit until
I get somebody to buy. I was in it for
the Young MC performance and once he backed out.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
The met Gala. I'm tired of how much news space
is attributed to something that mom Donnie was right not
to go to it. Like it just this is why
the rest of America, who doesn't go to the MET
gala hates elites and hates you know, coastal elites. It's
just I don't know, the Met's doing fine financially.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The thing right that they were like, we're fully funded. Yeah,
like there's no need for this.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
We did an Icon episode, yeah about Anna Wintour and like,
what what the dirty little secret is? Like the costume
institute that gets funded by that has like last year
was like, guys, we have like too much money right now,
could you could you like stop donating money And they're like,
all right, we'll find something else to put it towards.
But it's it's not it's not necessary. They've dried it
(24:29):
into this massive cash behino.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
And it's clearly just no one's there because they believe
in the cause. It's just a competitive show off ring,
which and forget how much money goes into making the
costumes and all of that, but just raise the money
for I don't know, scholarships.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
WHOA Then it becomes any other fundraiser, right yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, fundraisers replaces that and you're good, but you do
it at the met great, call it the met Gallas,
but have a different receipt, right every year, change it
to something different every year.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
That is a good idea.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Thanks, Yeah, you can use that if you want.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
There you go. All right, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back to talk about the news.
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
We're back.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And so a couple high visibility Instagram accounts got hacked,
including Barack Obama his his White House account. Accounts belong
to Sephora, the makeup brand. US Space Force Chief Master
Sergeant John Benta Venna all right, what a name? Hell yeah,
(25:48):
that feels like that's just that's like the pope hat
of names, like you know, that giant pope hat that's
like in the room. Yeah yeah, Chief Masters sergeant all right,
spaceman yeah yeah yeah. But anyways, they got hacked, and
they apparently had an accomplice helping them from the inside,
(26:11):
and that is of course Meta's AI chatbot.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh man. So and they're just talking about how this
edit Meta AI is it's going to make everything easier, man,
it's going to make everything easier. And all they had
to they're just polite to it, basically.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yes, So they just asked it, I believe is the
technical term is the term? Yeah, So Telegram users have
been sharing screenshots of how they can easily hack meta
accounts by asking the chatbot two quote change the email
address associated with the target account, then just requesting a
(26:46):
password change, just like that's it. Nothing else.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I mean, I don't think any of us were trusting
Facebook Meta.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Before this, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I mean they were already. There was a book called
was It Terrible People? Awful People? Written by someone who
was high up in Facebook for a while and then left,
and it's all like, this isn't accidental. They knew all
of the stuff that Facebook has been accused of. Yeah,
isn't like, well, we're still figuring out the technology. We
(27:17):
don't know. We are careless people, thank you. We are
going to abuse the power of this platform. We are
going to intentionally try and affect politics in this country
and other countries. We move fast and break things.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Right, That's Facebook's motto. Their official motto is move fast
and break things. Like that was like organizing principle in
the early days, and like, I think what we've learned
is like that was actually then putting putting too nice
A spent on it. They were actually breaking things on purpose,
(27:56):
not like move fast and like some things get broken,
but then we use the those mistakes to like learn
It's like, no, we break things, we see that they're broken.
We don't care as long as we're still making a
lot of money.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, and break it a little bit more, stomp on
it a little bit more. Yeah, and then play with
those pieces. But I mean, yeah, the fact that something
like the Barack Obama's account CAUs be like, hey man,
this is Barack Obama, this is my email address, just
the end of the pastord.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Resembly, and it's like, yay, for sure, for sure, for sure,
but this is just a thing like speaking of moving
fast and breaking stuff like that, feels like the tech
industry has never backed away from that, and they're so
excited about the idea of AI that they're going to
be turning more and more things over to AI, whether
(28:44):
or not that is advisable in the least bit. And
nobody really knows. Nobody is going to be able to
definitively say no, it's not a good idea until you
know Barack Obama's Instagram account has been hacked or worse.
If you can imagine such a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, I mean so Forora, I imagine how they're feeling
over there. Just crazy though too that like there's no
like you can't even get to a human half the
time with like that of stuff. They're like, no, the
ai'll do everything. It's like no, no, no, it's not even
fucking understanding what I'm trying to say right now. I
need to talk to a human being right now who
can actually handle this.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah. Three months ago, Meta announced that the company would
be pushing AI support to all accounts across Facebook and Instagram,
giving it quote the ability to reset passwords and perform
other critical account maintenance functions. The press release bragged that
AI assistants can actually help you take action instead of
traditional help centers that just point you to articles.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, can take action, man, like hijacking Barack Obama's Instagram account.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
But like so Barack Obama once his Instagram account was hacked,
could could not like speak to a human to be like, hey,
this is not me? Could you sure sure it's Barack Obama? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, next try Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Anyways, that that is a frustrating world that we're I
feel like we don't have anyone hitting the brakes on
the AI stuff other than like people who write articles,
but not the people who are like actually investing money.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
But it's just like the worst ad for your AI
tools when it's it wasn't even something so nuanced then
merely being like I'm just gonna present myself as the
like rightful account holder of a thing I'm trying to hack,
and that's all it takes. There's there's no other real
measures to kind of prevent something like that, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,
(30:38):
we don't need that.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
And once there's one vulnerability with THEII, like everybody can
exploit that. Like whereas in the past, you know, you
find one person who's willing to do this, they get
like reprimanded or something, and like that gets changed. But
with AI, it's like you find the vulnerability and then
like you can just exploit it over and over and
over again into before anybody notices it, right, which seems bad. Miles.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
We'll see, well, what's the new Claude thing that they're
rolling out That is, I'll look up the name while
you guys are bullshitting next. But it's uh uh supposedly
there will be no security left. It will be able
to crack any account any password, any any firewalls.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Right, great, great, great, we think that's that we're actually,
oh is that part of like Mythos or whatever that project?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah? Yeah, and what do they claim is the best?
Like this thing with with Facebook. I do remember Zuckerberg
being like, well, why would you want privacy? Are you
doing something bad?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I don't understand, right, It's like he wants privacy, all right,
your emails.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
He's bught entire blocks of mansions just so that nobody
can be anywhere near him and his family. Peter Teal
is moving to our Argentina. So yeah, they seem to
value their own privacy. Good look, good, look.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I love when I love when people who might be
evil or like, I'm gonna go to Argentina. Actually you
know what story tradition of real good guys fleeing Argentina.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
That's right, And it's a wonderful culture there. Yeah, that
nice place to live. Probably, I love.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I feel like beef, get out there, get out there.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
You know when they say where's the beef or Argentina.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, that's it. The Patagonia moment. Let's see the Republicans
are trying out attacks on James Tallerco in the Texas Senate.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Crying out, it's there they're running out of ideas. Man,
that they're so stale in their rhetorical attacks recently on candidates,
but it feels like they're tailored to appeal to like
a male gym teacher born before nineteen sixty. It's like
Trump was like, he's got six genders, is what he said.
I think last week we talked about someone being like
he's vegan.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I think it's because he said something about God having
many expressed like forms of expression.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Like how many genders? How many genders? Is James Tyler?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And then I think in Trump's brain he goes, well,
He's got six genders. Taller Rico.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
He's like, when he claims that he wants transgender for everyone,
is that one of the things that he says, transgender
for everyone? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Like again, as if that's like a like a happy
Honda Day's campaign that they do. It's like, hey, guys,
it's Pride month, It's transgender for everyone. Uh, And now
you know they're just doing this like just the most
fucking surface level attacks on like masculinity to try and
be like yeah, and that's why this guy shouldn't be
(33:43):
here on Newsmax. Recently, on The Todd Starns Show, he
was like, I think I've got a way to like
really Like last week I was talking about how Benny
Johnson was sort of like, I know how to I
know how to get this guy so tripped up on
a debate stage. I'm gonna ask him, is got a man?
Or like just these really stupid things? Oh, and can
we see your girlfriend? Because everyone's obsessed with James Tallerico's
(34:06):
girlfriend because he's like, I'm keeping that part of my
life private and they're.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Like, oh, oh you got you got no girlfriend? Oh
that's weird, that's weird. Wink wink wink, And everyone's like,
what do you? What do you?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
What's the implication here?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Wow, James taller Rico space The very first Google autocomplete
is girlfriend yeah yeah yeah yeah so then wife yeah,
then then age, then partner yes christ So. Todd Starns
also jumped in there and.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Being like this guy I think might be a little
like not like a big straight warrior man the sort
of lower third.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
While this guy's talking.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Says tofu Tyler Rico flips on meatless campaign and here's
Todd Starns being like, I think, I think, I know
if it's something we should ask Tyler Rico on the
debate stage.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Sure, who's going to be anchoring the first debate between
those two? But my first, if I was invited, would
be mister tall Rico. Now, have you, now, as a
thirty seven year old man, finally come to terms with
your manhood or do you serve perhaps have an affinity
for frilly underpants?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
What's up with that?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
What where did that come from?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
This guy? By the way, this is the guy who's
talking just for people. Aren't watching to picture like just
sculpted out of marble? Absolute alpha man.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, if marble was made of cookie dough, he was
fully sculpted from that frilly. Maybe he likes frilly underpants.
That's not going to connect with people of most ages.
They're like, what the fuck is frilly on?
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Yeah, they don't even know what it is.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, I'm like, what are we evoking here?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I'm preaturing like Looney Tunes, where like bugs Bunny's doing
dress up or something.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
By the way, I'm sure he wears boxer briefs, right everyone?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, but are they frilly? Okay?
Speaker 1 (35:58):
We actually wear tax ill I wear tea backs for
taller rico. I like to have my yeeks out.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I don't like pante lions when I'm wearing my slacks.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Tommy Tuberville, who he must have CTE just from coaching football,
didn't do any better when he attacked the like again,
this whole line of attack on like the Democrats man
like they gave up on men or whatever the attack
dejour is. But this was in line with the tall
Rico thing. This was Tommy Tubberville's attack on on the
(36:30):
mainstream Democrats and that they've This was again the lower
third of this segment was U, Dems have a men problem.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Well, first of all, the Democrats have left the building.
Then the are now called the socialist globalist Democrats. And
it's just unfortunate. They've left her base. Will they left
her base and middle class and union workers. And now
their new girlfriend is illegal aliens and women.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
That's my girlfriend, girlfriends and women.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
That's a good fits right. Oh yeah, your new.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Girlfriend is women women? What looks what it looks like?
Speaker 4 (37:12):
You said, Democrats have amen amen problem as a problem.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Yeah, that John, that too, brother. They got an Amen. Problem,
they're not saying it enough. Get on their knees and
they got amen. Problem the men is what their new
girlfriend should be is amen? Well, their new girlfriend is women?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, okay, hey buddy, yeah, cutting, cutting, cutting Tommy.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Their their new girlfriend is pre those Republicans is teenage girls.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah yeah right, and then they know their new girlfriend
is epstein files. They don't like talking about that. Yeah,
I'm sure the back around.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah, I'm sure that the tax will get much more
depraved as we get closer to election day. But it's
the first poll since the Republican runoff happened in Texas
had tall Rico ahead three points over Paxton, so the
statistical tie at the moment, So I'm sure maybe they're
a b testing will go freely underpants. We'll go he's vegan,
(38:15):
he has nine genders, and then well, I'm sure they'll
find him a line of attack that doesn't work and
go with that.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
He has six genders, he's vegan and weird?
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Did they find any real skeletons in his closet? What
happened a good old opposition research where you looked for
real things.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I mean, this guy's probably they you know, they've they've found.
They've done anything they can right to sort of like
unsettle this guy and sort of change the optics. But
the best they can do is he's he's keeping his
relationship private and he's vagan.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
All right, man, I'm sure exactly how to pronounce that.
You're gonna come back to that from Las Vegas. Let's
take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll get
to the real conspiracy theories about how the Illuminati is
running the world from underneath the Denver International Airport. We'll
be right back, and we are back. We're back, and
(39:26):
the Denver International Airport is for people who aren't kind
of red up on their conspiracy theories. The Denver International
Airport is a is a real hot spot. Now, the
pieces of evidence that I've seen are they got a
scary horse outside, scary horse sculpture and what you called Blucifer. Yeah,
(39:50):
uh huh. I mean it's actually officially titled it's officially
titled Mustang, but the conspiracy theories gave it the name
Blucifer because it's a blue horse and it's a eyes
do glow red.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Here's something you may not know about that, but it
killed the artist who made it when they were on them,
when they were craning it lifting it out of his studio,
a cable broke and it swung and it killed the artist.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Okay, I'm I'm on board with the conspiracy theories. Haunting
does it its eyes actually glow red? Right, that's not
a thing that's being.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Added for They're not glowing red.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Yeah, right, right right.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
I do like the idea that's just doing like the
bas meme, like from the internet, just like the glowing
red eyes.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yes. The other big thing is that there are there
is a secret network of tunnels underneath the Denver Airport
that people have decided would probably be where the Illuminati,
the powers that be go to, not on any of
the secret islands that they all own, and it were
on the you know, bill million dollar yachts that they own,
(41:01):
but underneath the Denver Airport is probably where they go
to hatch their schemes. And also I think there's some
theory that like they're somehow immune to like nuclear.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
World, they could serve as like a bunker of some kind.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
It's like where they go. But Jonathan, is this something
that you were aware of prior to your work on
Mission Implausible.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Probably only in the back of my head somewhere, but
you're right, Jack. We did do an episode of it
on Mission Implausible because it's such a classic conspiracy theory.
And I talked to people at Denver Airport. I talked
to some journalists who had visited, and then I also
talked to people who construct underground bunkers for survivalists, and
(41:50):
I got pretty in depth in it as kind of
a researcher. And here's my conclusion is that there isn't
a bunker like that under Denver International Airport, but there
is somewhere else, maybe not twenty two miles but of area.
(42:10):
But they that is how you would have built it.
Cut and cover, dig a hole, perfect situation for them
to do it. The only thing that doesn't add up
is why would you need to put an airport on
top of it, a big international airport on top of it.
And I mean the reason people think is so that
all the rich people can fly in and there's a
(42:32):
place for them to land. But you don't need the
world's biggest country's biggest international airport to allow rich people
to fly in and land.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Rich people love to fly commercial. In my experience, right.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
Also, there's a rumor that is a train underground train
tunnel team AD and the what's the bunker the military
bunker that's at nor Ad which is spitting distance away.
Maybe there is. I don't see what the benefit would be,
but I came away thinking like, yeah, physically this could
(43:09):
have been done. Logically it wouldn't have been there. And
here's the thing that we come up with about so
many conspiracy theories. Too many people were in on it,
would have had to know about it. You can't just
keep all of these construction workers and be like, look,
you just work on this area and you won't know
(43:30):
about anything else. People would know. And the rule of
thumbs is conspiracy theories. If more than three people know
about something, it's going to get out, so that somehow
that information would have leaked out. But there's just so
much artwork in the airport, and a lot of it
(43:51):
people think, Okay, this proves it, this proves its people
expected society collapse or whatever. There's just so much artwork
that statistically you will find some that support pretty much
any position you would have.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Yeah. One of the pieces of our work that they
point to is a mural called Children of the world
Dream of Peace sounds innocuous enough, but there is an
individual painting. It's a series, and one of the paintings
has children sleeping as a giant skeleton soldier holds an
(44:27):
AK forty seven over them and is like swinging a
sword down at them. And people are like, the clues
are all there, mister policeman. They gave us all the clues.
But yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
Is a bit of a wild painting to have in
an airport.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
In an airport, airports are always like kind of dancing
that line between like we got this like local artist
who's like really challenging to like create a work of art,
and then like sometimes it's like, whoa, they really went
went off on that one. By the way, the Mustang's
eyes do light up there, illuminated red eyes illumin what illuminati? Okay, okay,
(45:09):
all right.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
So the other problem with it. Does anyone see this
show Paradise?
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I just started watching it with Brown.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
Yeah, it's a fun show. And the first season anyway,
and a lot of sex. Season takes place at basically
a version of this what people say is underground in Denver,
where all the elites had secretly built this city that
they can live in and wait out until the earth
is habitable again for like a generation or two. First
(45:40):
of all, and it's in the side from what I
watching this stuff and talking to people about this stuff,
I think I would rather just take my chances on
the surface, even if that is like instant death. It
just seems so miserable. But the moment that shit starts
going down, the concept of money has no meaning. Yeah. Yeah,
(46:03):
so like, all right, a picture you Jack, are in uh,
I don't know you're in Minneapolis. You hear that there's
nuclear war starting. Everyone knows it's nuclear war starting, and
you're like, character, better get to Denver Airport. All right,
where's my pilot, Hey, pilot, fly me to Denver Airport
(46:25):
and then leave.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
Get out of here, and don't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
I've got a better idea. You stay here, I'll get
my family. We'll fly to Denver Purple. There's no who why,
there's no such thing as an employee employee or let's
say you trick everyone into it. Now people are in
the bunker and then it's like, all right, you're my
security guard. No I'm not, you're my security guard.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yeah, how about that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (46:52):
Yeah, we had the Douglas rushkoff On who wrote that
book Survival of the Richest of like the escape fantasies
of tech billionaires.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
And it's a good one. He was bringing that up too.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
It was just sort of like that, even these guys
are like, well, what do we do, like give them
exploding shop callers, so they're like, or do we say
we have the only key for the food so if
we're gone, no one gets food. Like having to game
out what happens when it becomes about purely survival, because
everyone at the end of the day, you're gonna be
Billy saying at the end of Titanic, okay, and the
(47:23):
guy's gonna be like, your money is no fucking good, bro,
Everyone's fucking.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
About to go down. Get the fuck out of my face.
Speaker 4 (47:29):
Right Like, all right, well, instead, we'll have passcodes to
get into the food vault and you'll have to get it.
I'm memorizing. It's like, all right, well, how many limbs
will you allow to be cut off before you give
them that pass code?
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Right? We talk about this. There's this interview with a
Silicon Valley like venture capital millionaire who is just like
one of the only conversations I hear consistently at these
like parties with millionaires and billionaires and in the tech
industry is do you shoot the pilot? Like, do you
(48:06):
when the pilot takes you to your to your bunker?
Do you shoot them? So they, uh, Jonathan, they've gamed
that out. Actually they're they're one step ahead of you.
Just I want to give our listeners all the clues,
because there's some pretty compelling stuff here. Also, the runways
are supposedly shaped like a giant swastika. How does that
(48:26):
help them in any way? The clues get They like
to They like to do clues. That's one thing we
know about the like Taylor swift Man, you think they
drew the dollar bill like that?
Speaker 1 (48:41):
You know, yeah, Like, I mean if you only fill
in lines, that would make a swastik of the numerous
roads and structures in the airport. I mean, you could
make all kinds of ship out of this. But they're like,
look at that, dude, it's a completely imperfect, lopsided swashi.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
It's the most lopsided shitty swastika ever. They But yeah,
the tunnels are the main thing. I had never read
the actual origins of the tunnels and it's just a
failed project by United and the Denver Airport. United was like, hey,
why don't you create like automated, an automated system that
(49:20):
takes all the luggage and like transport it transports it
exactly where we wanted to go. And they tried it
and they were not up to the task. It fucked
up constantly. Bags were constantly being sent to the wrong
put on the wrong flight, and so they had to
give up. And then they started just using the tunnels
(49:43):
for like people driving carts, like the same thing that
happens at every other airport. It's just like now happening
in tunnels that also have these big conveyor belts that
nobody uses in them. Now.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Yeah, I mean the terminals are so mean because if
you have to take that train underneath the airport, you know,
if you're going from terminal to terminal, and like the
other thing is too, like if that train goes down,
a lot of people are missing flights and it turns
into chaos. Although they say it's you know, it's working
ninety nine percent of the time, but that one percent
could just cause so many issues. So I probably like, yeah,
I guess we're gonna maybe open up the tunnels as
(50:19):
a just sort of a backstop to that.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
Yeah, but opening up the tunnels feels like it's bad
for the conspiracy theory industry. There's there's a good screencap
of a YouTube page that our writer Jam brought that says,
I saw what's under the Denver Airport and the person
is giving a shocked look in the in the image
and the truth under Denver Airport and there's a like
(50:47):
literal like cartoon child devil walking through a corridor.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
This depiction of like a demon is weird because it
looks like the tail is coming from the center of
its back, which.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
Is a tale to Yeah, I don't know how they've
constructed this. It feels like they constructed it from too
tall a dinosaur to the tail.
Speaker 4 (51:07):
But so now the airport has tried to make a
fun thing about it. Hey come to Denver Airport and
meet the aliens and yeah, it's okay, great, But the
conspiracy theorists will say, that's exactly what if the scent.
Speaker 3 (51:23):
Lean into it, lean into it. They've been playing into
the conspiracy theory. There's an ad or a sign that
was posted as they were, you know, doing construction somewhere,
and you know, there's always fun signs to apologize for construction.
It's like, excuse our mess. Yeah right where we're we're
in the process of getting beautiful. Yeah exactly. They always
(51:46):
decided to get cute with those signs. And the Denver
Airport no different. They said, thanks for being patient. The
lizard people keep stealing air tools.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
I mean, that's exactly glee what they'd fucking because they
fucking are Like.
Speaker 3 (52:04):
Conspiracy theory is like see, hey, man, where's that jackhammer?
Fuck the lizard people stole it again, God damn it.
Speaker 4 (52:14):
A good conspiracy theory is one in which every counter
argument actually just reinforces the belief of conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (52:22):
That's right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
So they've got a perfect one right here.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
You know. God, get us in those tunnels, Man, get
me down there. It's gonna suck. I'll fight these lizard people. Man,
just give me in their role. Let me bang, bro,
let me fight them all bro.
Speaker 4 (52:43):
By the way, if there if there was nuclear the
e MP blast from nuclear war would make the jet
planes inoperable. But yeah right yeah, if you really want
to get into it, yeah right, the cars won't start.
Speaker 1 (52:56):
Yeah, that's why I'm also like when I just I
just watched The Bone Temple, the twenty eight years later one,
and I'm like so glad because this was like my
weird pair brain thing when I, like in college, I
was like, bro when the EMP shit, bro, I got
this vinyl collection dog, yeah fucking MP three, and all
he had was like Duran, Duran.
Speaker 3 (53:16):
You know, I forgot the other album into the movie
that they can only listen to vinyl. He's got these
vinyl but he is he cranking it a little bit.
He had to start to start it.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then I think he might have
a solar panel somewhere maybe maybe, but he's doing it.
Speaker 4 (53:31):
He's doing it, but he's just listening to the same
few albums over and yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
Yeah, it's what he used to do. I used to
I have my CD book and then it got stolen
and I had the CD that was in my car
CD player.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Forever, the soundtrack of your car forever.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
That's right. Jonathan's term, such a pleasure having you on
the DAO, like where can people find you? Follow you?
All that good stuff?
Speaker 4 (53:57):
Uh? Okay, so mission plausible. It's an iHeart podcast. It's
also on YouTube and we put that up every week.
I'm not a big social media guy, so I'm not
looking for people to follow me, but I'll promote some stuff.
The This is an older one. Five years ago, we
did a show called Medical Police. It's a spin off
(54:20):
of Children's Hospital. It's on Netflix. But I'm always reminding
people about a worldwide pandemic. Came out in January twenty
twenty before the before we created it. I guess fictionally September.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
Thirty about a worldwide pandemic.
Speaker 4 (54:38):
That's exactly right, and I love it. September thirteenth, on
Adult Swim is a new live action sketch comedy series
called The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza. Earlier than that, in
the beginning of August, there's a new microdrama vertical platform
called a Twist, and they're doing some tip coal romantic
(55:01):
drama micro dramas the verticals, and they're doing a bunch
of other interesting stuff. And I am doing a parody,
a comedy version making fun of microdramas, and that'll go
up in August. We actually just finished shooting it two
days ago, temporarily maybe permanently, called My Billionaire Kidney, so
(55:23):
that I guess these are the things I'm promoting right now.
I always prefer to have more to promote, but take
what I can get. I do want to share with
you. You say, what are some What's a piece of media
you've been enjoying.
Speaker 3 (55:38):
Yeah, I'm about to ask you that you're one step
ahead of me. What is there a work amedia you've
been enjoying.
Speaker 4 (55:44):
There's a few, and I'll run through it really quick.
Palmer trolls Ben Palmer. He's on YouTube and he recently
got some news from being on the FBI's watch list.
He created a website that people can. We believe is
yeah you can. You can report people you want that
(56:04):
you think are legal immigrants and should be deported. And
he records these conversations he has with them and it
just really highlights not just the absurdity but the evilness
of so much of this. And it's funny and he
does a lot of other things like that. Ben Palmer.
Speaker 1 (56:22):
We had him on a couple months ago, I think,
and after that one where the when like the woman
called and was like, I think this kindergardener's parents, Yeah
you want the kindergartener just writing this down wants kindergardener
to port it. Well, that makes it sound bad. Oh sorry,
I'm just I'm just writing what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (56:40):
You know, Yeah, okay, Uh Michael, my friend Michael Lian
Black has a substack that's up every day and it's brilliant.
It's funny, it's political, it's heartfelt. It's everything that you
would want out of Michael Leam Black. I also get
Heather Cox Richardson's blog every day. She's a writes politically
(57:03):
relevant and historic, puts some in historical context. And I'm
reading Cameron Crowe's autobiography Uncool and Griffin Done to autobiography
The Friday Afternoon Club. I highly recommend those very nice.
And the other thing I never get tired of is
Jon Stewart's Monday night daily show, which I'll also watch
(57:24):

Yeah, that was great. You gave us all. You gave
us so many. Thank you for that. Miles. Where can

You can find me talking about ninety day fiance on
four to twenty day fiance and talking about one of
my favorite sports, European football, and ain't a footy with
Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin work in me. I just
did the use of AI with the Mike Rogers who's
(58:04):
running for Senate right now at Ron Philip Cowsi Onpy's
Guy I social posted there was like a picture of
Mike Rodgers at a campaign event, like from that journalist took.
And then there's the photo that this staffer posted of him,
and it's obsceemingly altered. Like this guy he went from
a middle aged dude to like hulk in between. It's
(58:29):
so stupid.
Speaker 3 (58:30):
Literally looks at don't want you to know. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Of And that's probably like how he sees himself, you know,

the shoulders, so you got to make the shoulders bigger.
