Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season twenty seven, episode
four up Daily Zeitgeist Gross for April nineteenth, two thousand
and eight. Team. My name is Jack O'Brien a ka
Potatoes O'Brien, and I am thrilled to be joined as
always by my co host, Mr Miles Great you say,

(00:22):
uh some of Mile smoking d a C. And that
one is from HEK Goddess Chapman Rice. Thank you for
that one. You hit me with a late night blitz
of tweets. Sometimes I'm worried about your hours of tweeting,
but that is your progative tweet when you like, so
do you and you added the little THHC I did.

(00:45):
It was supposed to be summertime in the LBC, but
you know what, I'm a I'm single minded. Uh. And
we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
by the hilarious comedy writer who you may know from Crackle,
Mr Daniel O'Brien. Thank you so much for having me
quick shout outs. Yesterday was my mom's birthday, Havy birthday Mom.
Today it's my brother's birthday. Having birthday caught me. Plus

(01:08):
what was that like when tomorrow Saibler's birthday. So many birthdays,
Oh yeah, so yeah it was. It made it really
easy to remember the order of their birthdays because because
mom came first and then like the gift that she
gave to herself was her first. Did they ever have
to do with did they share birthday already? Absolutely not? Okay,
so there was some sanctitia of the birthday because I

(01:30):
felt like I had friends who had like birthdays near
their siblings and they're like, it's a joint birthday. I'm
like that, yeah, no, that's no good. Yeah, I have
a birthday that's right around Christmas and it gets lost
and that's in that space. When do you ever do
double gifts? Oh yeah, all the time. Look you got
no but I mean you would get a birthday, you
would have the same amount of birthday gifts and Christmas gifts.
Or they're like, hey, brother, it's oh no, I guess

(01:52):
I mean like cut that in half. I would. I
would get relatives that were like, this is like birthday
and they would double up on the significance of their
single Yes, there they're two birds in it right, uh
January or this is private information. Sorry. I never real
my birthday on the Internet. All right, well I will
really not do that then. Uh well, Daniel, let's just

(02:14):
let's just say a real one. It's February thirty third,
right right right around Christmas. Yeah, so, Daniel, you emailed
us cheapishly a couple of weeks ago and you were like, hey,
you have me booked for and uh, you might want
someone else for that, someone like cool. It was a

(02:37):
super humbling email. If you guys are looking for like
somebody who's like down and neat down in a few
years ago, as the kids say, uh, your hands, stop
your feet, let me know if you're down and neat
down and neat What a combo of traits? Uh, Daniel,

(02:59):
what's something from your search history that is revealing about
who you are as a human being? Who is running
Rivers Cuomo's Twitter account. I've been following him for a
while and I'm convinced that it's either a bot or
there's another conspiracy theory going around that um, he's not
actually tweeting. He's just like finding things that people say
and copying and pasting them into his feed. I don't

(03:22):
think that's true because I try to do a search
on like the actual content of his tweets and they're
not coming up anywhere else. But he just has a
very strange Twitter style. Um entering his new macdaddy phase
is something he says, Uh, it's one of his tweets
entering this new Macdaddy phase. Ah. Yes, a nice six
am Tinder session to start the day. And yeah, for

(03:42):
people don't know, this is Rivers from Yeah, frontman of Wheezer,
and he talked about Weezer lives. Weezer made me paint
my nails like a girl? Are you really the Weezer singer?
And he spells girl like g U r L, and
he uses like a lot of uh emojis and like
j K l o L. He tweets very much like uh,
like a middle schooler, a high school person. And also

(04:03):
it's like a lazy person who's never had to be
creative to get likes. So, you know, because he has
a fan base, he can just do a stream of
consciousness Twitter and everyone's gonna be like, oh my god,
I love it when he just put whose idea was
it to make me so sensitive? Yeah? It's and I'm
I'm I don't know why I'm obsessed with it. I
think because I think he's a really silly and strange person,
Like do you know his how he writes songs? No,

(04:24):
it's garbage. I hate it. Um. He was on Song
Explorer talking about his process and musically, he'll listen to
another band doing like like he likes that chord progression,
so he just records himself playing the chord progression that
somebody else did and then like adding Weezer effects of
the guitar and then files that somewhere. And then for lyrics,
he just wanders around the world and we'll hear someone

(04:45):
say something like, oh, I gotta pick up Sharon at school,
and then he tries down got to pick up Sharon
at school, and then when he's ready to write a song,
goes to, here's my list of progression, and here my
list of words that I've collected from other people talking
and let me just with them together. None of my
songs actually mean anything because I'm just like stealing words
from the air. What a what a terrible person? Well

(05:15):
what are you gonna do? So he's basically narking on
some kids when he wrote that hashpipe song. Yeah, I
mean yeah, I mean it's I can't love my business
if I can't get a trick down on Santa Monica,
where tricks are for kids. WHOA, I can see most
of her just heard that ship. One of my favorite
sketches Daniel Ever wrote at Cracked was a mockumentary about

(05:36):
Rivers Cuomo. It was immediately after he had survived a
bad bus accident, and Daniel wrote a sketch because I
think we had access to Weezer potentially, and so you
wrote a sketch in which you speculated that Rivers Cuomo
was a highlander and uh, you know, it went like
three hundred years back and you could like see him

(05:57):
in pictures. Uh. And Weezer was like, oh, we love this,
this is great, and we were really excited about it,
and we're going to make this and it was gonna
be a big deal. Put us on the map, maybe
put us in Jeopardy Questions someday and uh, and then
they just were like, oh, sorry, Rivers is uh in
Japan meditating for the next three years. Sorry, Rivers is

(06:18):
entering his new Mac Daddy. Yeah, I forgot about that.
I guess I've been obsessed with Rivers Cuomo for a
very long time. You have clearly you're like, oh, I forgot.
I wrote an epic sketch about the Uh yeah, and
I guess we should mention the fact that I've alluded
to a couple of times. So cracked was the answer

(06:39):
on Jeopardy. Uh last night, I believe we we I
believe we have the audio. After Hours and Excessive pop
Culture Discussion are two shows on this fractured websites channel.
What is Crackle? No boom? What is Cracked? There you go?
He was, he was ready with that answer, and it

(07:00):
must have been laughing Crackle. Come on now, yeah, the
awful Sony owned video platform. Right. Yeah, anytime, like an
adult or you know, somebody who I would expect not
to know Cracked would be like, oh, I know Cracked.
That's like a great website. I can't believe you work
for them. So you work with Seinfeld on comedians and

(07:22):
cars getting I was just watching ace Venter A two
on their Yeah. I don't think that. Sure, yeah that's whatever,
but yeah, how's that pretty cool? Man? Those are both
a Jeopardy and so after Hours of a show you
and I created together and uh, Excessive pop Culture discuss Discussion.
That was a show that you posted and I did

(07:43):
that show with Maggie may Fish and Soar and Booie
and nobody name drops that show. Most of the people
who like it don't even know they that with the
other show that is very similarly named Obsessive Pop Culture
Disorder yea, which is a great title for a show. Yeah,
and great show. Yeah, yeah, you could have stopped. Come on,
I was taking the win at title. I'm so proud

(08:06):
of it. I guess we're We're a big deal now, Yeah,
we're cultural icons. Yeah. What is something you think is underrated?
People who cut hair? I think they get. I mean,
I don't like getting my hair cut because it's like
a closeness thing that that I'm uncomfortable with. Um, Like
intimacy issues, like if I was smooching my hairdresser. Sure,
that one thing, but this is a borderline stranger, the

(08:27):
one who cuts my hair, I like a whole lot
because she knows that I don't like to look in
the mirror or talk to anyone, so she just faced.
So you don't like to see the haircut going down,
and I don't like I don't like staring at myself
for however long a haircut takes. Just not a pleasant
experience for me, uh so, that's a good situation. I
really like shout out to the woman whose name I
don't know because we've never had a conversation. But you

(08:49):
just even i'd even get this person that cuts your
hair if you don't even know their name. I just
go up and you're like you. I go to Floyd's
and I know when she's working, and she's just like
I'll take this one. Like, oh, I should take him.
But they're underrated because the last time I got a
haircut that there was a guy getting his haircut next
to me, and like, God, bless this poor guy. He

(09:11):
went in and he was like very apologetic to the
woman cutting his hair, was like, I'm I'm really sorry.
I'm very sweaty all the time and I'm itchy, and
like you're going to see a bunch of scabs on
the back of my life that I don't think they're
bleeding right now, but they might be. And he's like
being a dear sweet soul about this, and the woman
cutting his hair is like no, no, no, no no, no,
it's totally fine here, it's it's it's okay. I'm gonna
just like cut your hair. And I feel like they

(09:31):
probably have to deal with a lot of gross, uncomfortable Yeah,
because everywhere these haircuts and I feel like they have
the same level of like touching the gross parts of
strangers that like dentists and doctors get, but nowhere near
the amount of pay. It seems like they have to
deal with, I think, a pretty gross job and they

(09:52):
all do it with such grace, and I appreciate that
chair side manner. It's like when the thing that waged
is complain about about, like having to deal with awkward
dudes who are like, hey, so do you have a boyfriend?
Like when they first asked them if they want appetizers,
and like, except you have to stay with them for minutes?

(10:14):
Why did you ask her that she wrote her name
down on the table corps right exactly. Yeah. As a
caveat to this, also underrated is people who cut children's hair.
Oh yeah, right, impossible job. And we we have this
uh young woman Sandy who cuts my son's hair. She's
doing everything that a barber does, except she's doing it

(10:35):
like in motion, like just moving with my son's like rapidly,
you know, moving head and it's insane. It's like a
contact sport. It's really it's really impressive. Is it a
special like service or person that you need to go to.
You can't just go to Floyd's. You can't go Yeah,
there's a children's hair cutting places. Yeah. The voice I
used to go to in the valley called the Yellow
Balloon was legendary for getting kids haircut. And it was

(10:59):
also because it was the most like stimulating interior of
a thing ever, Like they were fucking lights in arcade
and she's like, when I sat down, you would just
be like yeah, and then they could be like, Okay,
you're done, You're done. Yeah. She has just like a
box of toys that she like gives right and like
he'll get bored with it after like even before he
gets bored with it, she can tell he's getting bored,

(11:20):
and she like switches it out real quick. It's really
like an incredible I should be like, man, that that's
like an extra service. Like I would be like, I'm
sorry that that's really it's incredible. Did you see how
I finessed the toy switch seamlessly? What's something you think
is overrated? Daniel, Uh, this is gonna be very alienating
for most of the listeners. These things called bird scooters

(11:43):
that are all around right now, Westwood, Venice and Santa Monica. Uh,
and I live in one of those places, and they're scooters.
They're sort of like the city bikes where you can
just rent one with money. I think you get an
app to rent a scooter and then you can just
ride it around the difference between the bird scooters and
city bikes is city bikes have like a home. There's

(12:04):
a place where you park those bikes when you're done,
and then that's it. The bird scooters, the I guess
appeal of them for the people getting them is you
can just drop them wherever the funk and that's and
where they land, that's it. And uh, I have two
problems with this. Uh. One of them is uh fake
one uh that masks the real one that is like
boogie and petting. The fake one is that, um I

(12:29):
see kids, like two kids on one scooter and they're
not wearing helmets and they're like ten or eleven years
old and they're just booking it down a street. A
street like like there's will Share that's a very busy street.
There's like a standing moped. It shouldn't be legal. Yeah,
it's the oh yeah, they're they're motorized scooters. By the way,
it's not just like you're not like kicking with your foot, um,
And I think that's dangerous. These kids are gonna die. Uh.

(12:51):
And that's what I always lead with as my complaint
with it. But I don't really that these kids are
gonna die. But my real problem is that it just ruined.
Is like the look of very nice neighborhoods and and
and I walk my dog and I used to like
looking around the area because people with well maintained lawns
and nice trees, and I near a park, and now

(13:12):
there are these garish black scooters that are just strewn
about everywhere. People just like pull up on the sidewalk
and just dropped them on a lawn or on a
corner somewhere. And it's boogie annoying thing to rant about.
But like, this neighborhood used to be nice and before
these damned scooters came in. And these kids, I mean,
they're gonna hurt themselves, are gonna hurt themselves. I care

(13:34):
about the kids, and that's why I don't want a
basketball court here because they might hurt themselves. But yeah,
they just showed up one day and everybody started using them.
So that's also my concern with them is that they
seem like a really useful idea for like people who
live in a certain type of community where you know,
you have long distances to travel that aren't quite drivable,

(13:57):
or you don't want to deal with parking when you
get there. Uh So I do think these things are
going to take over, just at some point, how do
you get that like regulated? You know what I mean?
Because you could just be a kid on there and
and injure yourself or drunk or whatever. Because the first
time I saw it was on an avocinne in Venice,
and I just saw the dude ditch the scooter and
like go somewhere, and I was like, this guy just

(14:19):
left an electric scooter in the street. And I was like, no,
it was a cool lap and it was just it
was like blocking the sidewalk. And That's where I'm like, yo,
you need a place to put these. That's also such
a like garbage response to someone give you, like, hey
just left the scooter. No, no, no no, it's a cool
it's a cool you could do it with your phone miles. No,
you look like an asshole who just left a piece

(14:41):
of garbage in the street, but they're all being tracked
like you can't steal it, but you can't steal it.
But that was before I knew it was a rental thing.
I just thought it was some arrogant asshole just throw
it up on the East scoot and I was like, yeah,
I'll just fucking leave it here and go into the
ice cream. Very rich guy. Yeah, it's like a real
rich guy moves like, I don't know, you want it,
you can have I don't care. I'll buy another ship.

(15:03):
Uh Yeah. And instead of being useless and disappearing, now
there's like a second type of scooter, like a second
company has coming and been like, wow, this is a
billion dollar idea. So now not only are there Bird scooters,
their Lime scooters. So we have the same lift to birds. Uber. Yeah,
so it's going down, guys, watch out for it. Uh.

(15:25):
And finally, DANGI what does a myth? What's something people
think is true you know to be false. Someone cooler
than me might I'm looking at Emiles might tell me
if I'm if I'm wrong about this. But I think
the myth that I want to debunk is the rebound
fling after a breakup. I think that's entirely an invention
of movies because NTV shows, because it's really convenient for

(15:46):
a plot. If you've got two characters who are in
a relationship and they break up, a good plot thing
is getting them with someone else briefly, because then the
old couple can fight about it really helps move a
season of friends along. Um, you know what we gotta
do for you, man, We gotta get you late bro
with that friend who's always in those shows, right which

(16:07):
I don't have that friend in real life. I've never
been that friend in real life. And I'm happy to
be proven wrong and just someone be like, no, you
have like a very specific group of friends. The rest
of the world does do a rebound thing after a
long relationship, and there's like a big scientific reason behind it,
but it just hasn't been my experience. And I feel
like if I had just broken up with someone and
a friend was like, you need to go find someone
else right away, I would be like, no, that's terrible advice.

(16:29):
I need to like figure out why this relationship ended
and check in with myself and spend time, and I
think the like, please support me in this. That's precisely
it though, you know that's that's you being a person
of sound mind or attempting to be to be like,
let me kind of do a little introspective here and
figure out what is going on where some person may
not want to visit the chaos of their own psyche

(16:50):
and go fuck it, let's just go out and try
and funk real quick, rather than be like, are you
falling into in your pattern again? Because you know you've
never been alone for more than three months at a time.
I think people like that typically like to fall into
the rebound thing because sometimes people just don't know how
to operate outside of a relationship. Yeah. I think that's
definitely true, that they're just people who are always in relationships.

(17:11):
I know a lot of people like that, and for them,
the rebound thing is a thing just because they're always
in a relation, because they're rebooting the system. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
I I definitely think that's not necessarily true for for everyone,
but some people. Yeah, I think for some people it
is healthy. Like if you sometimes have getting uh into
a relationship after you've been broken up, whether something can

(17:32):
kind of really like give you sort of validation if
you're supposed to. If you take a Knox your self esteem.
Someone that friends, he's like a right, let's do it.
Let's go to best Buy if there be Yeah, there's
also an article about how grocery stores of the new
hook up market. Do you know that Ralph's Jack that

(17:57):
is uh by our somewhere in the world's biggest Ralpse.
It is the world bigger. I have a sushi restaurant
and a bar inside the Ralphs, which which coming from Jersey.
I know, I've been here ten years, but still like
that's unheard of in Jersey. We don't even sell beer
or liquor in our grocery store. So and this is

(18:19):
like a functioning bar that if you yelp about bars
in this area, it is like top of the list
because the beers are super cheap there and people just
love it and just go to Ralpse. You get get
nice and drunk, and then you look up. It's gotta
be good people watching at least because you have just
a supermarket of people walking around you. But yeah, I always,

(18:42):
as the person who is soberly walking through that grocery
store with my child, I always like, look at that.
I I'm like those people are like getting day drunk
right now. I'm like, you know, food shopping, that's weird,
Like speed dating. I don't know, it's fun. It's fun
to like bring those two worlds together there. Why not? Uh,
all right, it's I I would never get day drunk

(19:04):
there because I feel like I have to go to
the grocery store and then I start drinking, and then
I'd be like, I don't really, I'm a Philip on beer. Anyway.
All right, let's get into it. You guys were trying
to take a sample of what people are talking and
thinking about right now, global national share consciousness. I wanted

(19:28):
to talk about a new study, uh that is sort
of on a subject we were already talking about this week.
So there's a new study that The New York Times
reported on earlier this week that says that friends brain
waves link up. Uh So, basically, a lot of scientists
there's all this evidence that friendlessness can be poisonous. That's

(19:51):
why we were talking about it recently that uh, you know,
there are a lot of scientists who think that anxiety
and depression being sort of these epidemic x in our
modern society. The reason is because we're becoming more and
more socially isolated from each other. And you know, it's
just natural for humans to be part of these social
groups and social networks that are actual social networks that

(20:14):
interact with each other in person um. And so they're
trying to figure out, like what is it about friendships
that are so healthy? Uh, Like how do friendships interact
with the human mind and body to you know, be
these really valuable things. And so they did the study
where they hooked friends up to brand scanners, and they

(20:37):
found that the friends responded so similarly to these videos
that they showed them. They showed them a video on
the dangers of college football, how water behaves, and outer space. Uh,
and that viral video of Liam Neeson trying to do
improv comedy, Yeah, which is so good. But they brand
scanned people while they were watching all these different video

(21:00):
goes and friends were so similar that they could actually
look at the brand scans and tell who we're friends
without like having any external things like basically people's brains.
Like in the same way, there's that thing we were
trying to figure out if it's an urban legend, but
the idea of like the dorm of women in uh college,

(21:20):
like their cycles linking up, which I'm pretty sure it
is not an urban legend actually happens. Uh, it's like that,
but our brains just kind of meld together, and uh,
I don't know. It's interesting they have all these scientists
talking about how uh, you know, we are basically paying
attention and processing the world around us in a in

(21:42):
a similar way, and it's almost like we have this
weird I think a scientist, Kevin Achner nailed it. Uh
called it a ineffable shared reality between friends, which is interesting. Um,
that makes sense because I like, I'll watch like a
show or something with like good friends and like we'll

(22:04):
say like the same thing as a reaction to something
that comes on the TV, and you look at each
other like or you like I was just about to
say that, I guess is that exact phenomenon. I want
to I'm trying to thin the herd of my friend groups,
so I want to hook it up with all of
my friends and find out which one's don't match. And
me like, ah, you're not really one of my friends.
You're out, Mike, You're done. It's like, but I was

(22:24):
there for you during that breakup. No, No, we're not
reacting to this Liam Neeson video the same way, So
you gotta funk out of here. Yeah, this makes sense
of a couple of sort of behaviors. Um One, the
people who speak like really authoritatively, like radio Head sucks,
like you know, like or you know says something where

(22:45):
it's like, well, you know, that's just your opinion. But
it makes sense because they've always they're used to interacting
with their friends, so they just think that like things
that our opinion are sort of matter of fact statements.
And it also makes sense of my like intense anxiety
any anytime I am watching a movie with somebody else,
I'm always like worried about how they're reacting to the

(23:06):
movie and like whether they like it or whether they're
laughing at the same thing as me, Which is why
my favorite thing in the world is what are you
laughing at there? Like it's a comedy, right right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
but you thought that joke was funny, right yeah? Uh,
But that's why I've going to the movies by myself
was like my favorite thing to do. Kay, I'm gonna

(23:26):
I had their plants tonight with Willard, but they got canceled,
So I'm gonna see Truth or Dare by Myself Powerhouse film.
Yeah yeah, but it makes sense that the stakes are
high for me because that's like an actual judgment of
I don't know whether you're friends with somebody. Uh yeah,
so that's a thing. Uh, let's take a quick break

(23:49):
and we'll be we'll be right back. And we're back,
and we wanted to check in with the Southern New
York District Attorneys raid on Michael Cohen's office. I don't

(24:11):
think I got that right. But whoever raided Office York
US Attorney's office there? It is? So what's going on?
What's happening in my well today? Let's see. There's a
couple of things. First, we find out that I think
Michael Cohen is dropping his lawsuits that he has against
BuzzFeed because they published the Steel dossier was a total
fucking lie and has nothing to do with me. I

(24:34):
don't know why I'm even in there because I've never
been to Prague. Is kind of his defense. To prove it,
he showed us a photograph of the front of his passport,
means okay, he was a picture of a passport, So
I think the choice is clear the jury. Uh, I
was never there. So yeah, he's dropping those lawsuits, and
that can me a couple of things. Right on one side,

(24:55):
he can avoid turning over sort of any documents or
anything that has to or have to answer any questions
as part of these cases, because inevitably he would have
to because they would be like, well, what are you
saying is a lie that you didn't go to progue?
Can you prove that? Uh? And he probably don't want
to do that. Uh. And then he also risks that
information actually being publicly disclosed and then also possibly being
used against him in the federal criminal probe against him.

(25:17):
So probably good is just dead that so you know,
nothing has to be done. The other side of it
could be, now, if you want to be living like
the world where Laurence O'Donnell lives on MSNBC, where every
night he's like, cry coming to the disaster, that is
like Trump's White House. It's crazy. His show is insane.
He's like, oh, the President is in terrible, terrible shape tonight.

(25:41):
It's like way over the top even for anyone. But anyway,
his whole thing. You know, if you want to look
at it from that side of things, you could also
you know, jump to the conclusion that did the FBI
actually sees documents in that raid that basically directly contradicts
his defensive I've never been there and knows oh shit,
that lawsuit is basically unwinnable at this point if I

(26:02):
left receipts in my shoe box and they have that, uh,
and you know, it could also be that he heard
and we talked about this, I think yesterday about how
McClatchy was reporting, according to two sources, that Mueller actually
had proof that Michael Cohen was literally in progue to
like literally fucking colluded with the Russians. Like that is
the most like hardcore collusion bit, because the whole point

(26:24):
of them meeting was to figure out, like their agenda
was quote on how under or how deniable cash payments
were to be made to hackers who had worked in
Europe under Kremlin direction against the Clinton campaign and various
contingencies for covering up these operations and Moscow's secret liaison
with the Trump team more generally, right, that's the part
of the dossier where it's like, Okay, now, clearly this

(26:46):
didn't happen, Like this is too over the top that
like his fixer goes to Prague to meet with like Russia,
be like, here's the money for that hackers and how
do we hide that? Also, what's our plan for covering
this collusion up? Like is literally on the agenda. So yeah,
that's that's some new news. Again, We'll see where that goes.

(27:06):
Because so we keep we keep name dropping McClatchy, who
are still the only people who are reporting that they
have confirmation behind the scenes that the progg thing has
been confirmed. What is McClatchy. I don't think I've ever
heard of it before this story. Are they just like
a left wing journalistic institution, Yeah, exactly. They just do
a lot of politics, national news, world news. Yeah, and

(27:30):
I think they're DC based, So that's kind of you know,
they they you know, they're out here. Um. But anyway,
so that's one thing. The next thing, uh we find
out is that basically the reports I think, uh, I
guess over the weekend, Trump talked to one of his
old lawyers about, uh, you know, Michael Cohen. He seems
very concerned about this raid on Michael Cohen. And it

(27:51):
seems to be that the murmurs are coming out of
the White House that Trump and White House insiders are
very concerned that Michael Cohen will and they use the
word filip. Uh. Now that's an interesting word because if
you flip, that means someone's usually fucking guilty that you're
flipping on. So I don't understand, Like if it was
if he if Trump didn't do anything or people didn't

(28:12):
do anything bad, you wouldn't call that flipping. You'd say, oh,
we're afraid he's just going to like malign these people
and lie or whatever. But the fact that they're saying
flip is weird. But it's it's not like wrestling. It's
not you don't just like decide to be a bad
guy who's a different person. Now, Flipping is what you
do if you have information that you're gonna give someone.
They're like, Hi, can I tell on somebody so you

(28:32):
don't put me in trouble as bad? Yeah. So this
guy who Trump called like an actual lawyer, not like
Michael Collin, like a real lawyer, like uh lawyerly advice.
Trump asked him, should I be worried about this? And
the guy put it like this, he said, And this
is by the way, being reported by the Wall Street Journal,

(28:54):
who had access to this conversation. Yeah, but Wall Street
being like a Murdoch owned outlets, so this is being
reported by both sides. The guy said, all right, So
if we're on a loyalty scale of one to a hundred,
one being most loyal, uh, Michael Cohen is not even

(29:14):
a one. S So this surprised me because I think
I have this inherent misconception that guys like Michael Cohen,
like mafiosa type guys who are like I do anything
for Mr. Trump, I jump in front of a bullet form,
like those guys are super loyal. I think it's just
based on The Godfather and like other mobster movies. I mean,

(29:37):
I imagine because everything that they do is informed by
TV and film. Right. So yeah, but I guess when
you look at mafiosa and people who are in the mafia,
the idea of them being loyal doesn't like actually match reality.
They tend to turn on each other for nothing if

(29:59):
it gets the a discount at the corner sandwich hub,
and a lot of the stuff that we think of
as being sort of legitimate mafia behavior actually started with
the Godfather, and then the mafia started like copying copying it. Yeah,
basically because they were like, man that looked cool. Damn,
that would be a better way to run this business.
People had honor and shut the funk up right. I

(30:22):
edited an article by Sasari Beckett Cracked where we wrote
about how that's the direction that like the thing went.
It was from the movies to the mafia. Saysari. What
was the last name? Saysari? Jonss Yes, that's the man.
This article we quoted a mafiosa. This hitman, Anthony Fiato,

(30:43):
described the movies effect on the most badass Boston gangster
he knew by saying that he started out as a
dems and doze kind of guy, and after the movie
came out, he starts to like articulate and like start
philosophizing about stuff because he saw The Godfather. It must
be so difficult to be in that crime syndicate with

(31:03):
Just like the worst boss in the world who sees
a movie and it's like, guys were all wearing suits.
Now you all have to call me don now eat um.
I mean, if he's seen those movies, he should also
know it doesn't end well for these people. You can
do all that, but you should also be shooting yourself,
because if you're also basing this off these movies, you'd

(31:24):
be like, okay, and then eventually I'm going to get
caught up in I saw the first third of the
first two Godfathers were doing it. I didn't even see. Wait,
they massacred his son and other Trump news. Yeah, the
President had this big secret about Mike Pompello going over
to North Korea having a secret meeting with them, that
there were these talks going on between the United States

(31:47):
and North Korea, but they were secret talks, and the
media was kind of catching wind of this and they
were trying to get him to comment on it. He
was walking with the Japanese Prime Minister and his wife
and Milania, and they're walking down at mar Lago and

(32:08):
he's not going to obviously comment on whether these talks
are actually taking place because it's a huge secret, but
the media, for some reason, thinks they can get him
to answer these questions. This was actually brought to our
attention by The Daily Show last night. They did a
great segment pointing out just the way Trump just can't

(32:28):
fucking help himself. So we're gonna you're gonna hear laughter
in the background that's because this clip is from the
Daily Show one Name. It dracted a talk with North
Koreana directly sir. So basically, two journalists are asking and
making it sound cool, have you been speaking with North Korea?

(32:50):
And he's walking away this is just supposed to be
a photo op. And he's walking away from the cameras
and then like stops and then does this like dramatic
turn and with a shitty dingrin on his face. He's like, yes,
it's crazy, it's just amazing because his bag. He's like,
I'm not answering that. I'm not. It's like almost like
I was like, don't say nothing, just keep walking, and

(33:12):
he's like, I'm sorry, mask off, Yes I'm doing it.
And then they were like, so you are speaking with
the North Koreans and he was like, whoa not me. Technically,
he later clarified, but he liked the way it sounded
that like he was doing the talking. He's the decider,

(33:32):
he's the president deals, he's going to get the ship done. Now,
what we're learning in these secret talks quote secret talks,
is that North Korea is being really like they're agreeing
to ship that different administrations have been trying to get
them to agree to forever like that they're willing to
discuss denuclearization even if America doesn't withdraw from the Korean peninsula,

(33:55):
like even if we don't demilitarize the whole peninsula, which
is crazy. Nobody has gotten that sort of concession from them,
So there was always a nonstarter. Who every time before this,
it was like, y'all, y'all want to talk, get those
twenty eight whatever thousand troops out of South Korea and
then we'll talk. And it's I was like, absolutely not right.

(34:16):
So people are trying to figure out why they're willing
to make all of these concessions to have this conversation
with President Trump. Do we think that there's an outside
chance that they just feel like this is the most
easily manipulatable human being in the history of negotiations, and
they just want to get him in a room, and

(34:36):
they're saying, like anything they can to get him there,
because I mean, I'm not saying it's easy to manipulate him,
but he just they got him to reveal a secret
meeting by just making it sound like it was his idea.
So I don't know, I think so I can't imagine
any other scenario where it makes sense personally because they

(34:57):
see they've got the biggest dummy on the planet, and
I feel like, to even surprise themselves, get him in
the room and be like, then, Mr President, we're not
going to ask for the moon or anything. You haven't
the right as long as you say nice things about me. Yeah,
I don't. God, it's so weird. It's just so weird,
I thought, because after the traditional thinking was Kim Jong

(35:17):
un needs nuclear weapons to stay in power, because everyone
always compares it to like Saddam or like you know,
Gaddafi or whatever. It's like, once you give up your
like ace and the whole they're gonna come in roll
you out and then you're dead, you know what I mean,
and the whole regime change thing happens. It seems like
for whatever reason they see based on this logic, that's
not a deterrent anymore. Like they're like, oh, yeah, we're

(35:39):
willing to talk if that's what you want them, great.
I don't know if they're getting assurances from like other
governments are like look right, nukes, bro, and if ship
pops off like someone like I don't know, because clearly
there's been some technology sharing from the Russians over the
last few years. Um, but yeah, I mean on the surface,
that's a good sign, but things knowing that when Trump

(36:02):
also said like, if it looks like it's not going where,
I'm gonna leave, Like that is also who knows. I
mean that could also be North Korea set up move
for them to be like, well, we tried, and this
dude a straight up walked out, which his actual quote
for that was if it's not fruitful, I will get
up and respectfully leave, which first of all, no, you won't.
You're not gonna respectfully leave. You're gonna fart your way

(36:23):
out of a chair and something terrible tear to me, right,
What was the story that you that you were we
were talking about last Yeah, last last week we were
talking about how during the Bush or a Regula minute,
I think it was when uh Bush H W. Bush
was coming into office, Trump was literally trying to, based
on his successful book The Art of the Deal, become

(36:44):
like some huge diplomatic position and uh, he obviously didn't
get the job. And when he met the guy who did,
he was like, here's how I would handle the Russia thing.
I would sit them down in a room, make sure
they're comfortable, a comfortable and then I would say, fuck
you them walk out. It's like, what boy man, So

(37:08):
he might need a translator. We uh? I mean so
an alternate theory being incredibly generous to Trump on sort
of what's going on with the North Korea thing is
that his mania has worked, like the whole Nixon madman
theory where he was like, as long as they think

(37:30):
that I'm crazy, they'll be scared shitless of the United States.
So some people are saying maybe that worked. Maybe by
being like the asshole outsider, he brought North and South
Korea together because they're out of just sheer terror. And
you know, this would also tie into this overall image

(37:52):
of Trump that you will still see some of the
supporters supporting, where he's crazy like a fox, where he's
like secretly acting like an idiot, and now he's going
to get them to the table and he's gonna fucking
kill them because he's president deals, right, so he's gonna
get them. And I'm sure for like North Korea, like
they do tests and they're used to like normal diplomacy

(38:14):
where they'll be like, hey, we're gonna call the UN
and we'll just talk about this, and this dude just like,
I don't give a fuck. I have rockets that are
bigger than yours. Pull up and it's just like, oh
my god, even like North Korea, like this is fucking frightening.
This guy has just called us out on Twitter and
he's unhinged. Yeah, so I mean yeah, so maybe that
somehow worked. Could be that the sanctions got to the

(38:37):
point where clearly right a lot of the reporting has
been inside of North Korea. Is that because uh, there's
such like the food situation is so bad and people
are starting to get more restless about sort of like
the lack of freedom that they have, that he could
also be looking at like a increase, like you know,
he might have to just do something to get the
country right. Kim jongung. Yeah. At the same time, if

(38:57):
that is true, if it's the sanctions putting restaurant him,
then it must be something about Trump's approach that is
also working. Because we've been sanctioning the ship out of
them forever and it wasn't working before. They weren't coming
to the table before, so maybe they are scared of him.
Was like, look, dude, I've met this guy he's a
fucking idiot, and you just get I'm sorry, like, I'll

(39:20):
pay whatever it costs to like de nuclearize, but we
can't have this guy. It's gonna get South Korea fucked
up when that fallout reaches the mainly what I mean
like they could also be like I've met this dude
and I don't even know if he knows what the
funk he's talking about. With everyone accept President Trump settling
down and being more normal, it reminds me of the
time many years ago that a bunch of us did

(39:41):
acid and we had a person who was like the
trip sitter to make sure that everyone was um their
good best behavior, not doing anything wrong and not getting
into trouble. Uh. And acid is the thing that takes
like hours and hours and hours. And at one point
I took a shower and I came out. People in
the room like, hey, settler, beat, we thought you were
in the shower for he thought you were in there
for like five seconds, and I thought you were in
there for two hours. How long were you in there for?

(40:03):
And I was like, guys, let's ask our trip sitter.
And they're like she's gone. And they're like, oh no,
we have to be the adults in the room. That's
what I feel like, as soon as there's not like
an authority figure, all the people who used to be
blustering there in sand and he was like, oh wait, okay,
we need to like straighten our accents. It was really
fun to pretend to be an evil dictator before. But

(40:24):
now that there are no more adults in the right,
we gotta we gotta. That is a perfect metaphor, because
Asia has always reminded me of a room full of
people trying ascid the classic LSD form of diplomas. I
should have amended what I said earlier that my parents
and also cops don't listen to this episode. Yeah, so,

(40:45):
I don't know, are we ready for a world in
which Trump brings peace to the Koreas down. If it doesn't, fine,
Like I'm not gonna begrudge him for getting ship done,
you know what I mean, even if it is in
this bizarre, fucking weird way. But if that brings us
back from the brink of like full scale nuclear conflict
in that area, great, Yeah, it's the same. One of

(41:06):
the things that he said on the campaign trail when
they were talking about healthcare and This wasn't like a
GOP talking point or anything like that. He's just a
dummy who says what do you think people want to hear? It?
Is like, listen, when I'm president, everyone's gonna have better
health care than they had before, and it's gonna be
cheaper and you're gonna love it, and it'd be better
if you can do that many more years. Come on. Uh,

(41:29):
Karen mcdouga's settled so she can tell her story. I
don't want to hear it. Uh, I'm tired of hearing
about anybody having sex with Apparently Stormy Daniels is going
to like describe the president's dick. I mean that's my asception.
Now I know she's gonna be in penthouse, and they're
saying like, there'll be another description of the affair, which

(41:51):
I'd imagine if it's in penthouse, it's gonna be fucking graphic, right,
because the one thing everybody was asking themselves during the
Anderson Cooper thing is why isn't he asking about the
president's dick? What did it look like? Is it weird? Yeah?
Almost definitely? So? Uh, but that'd be that's what's written
in penthouse. And then I saw the president's penis, it

(42:12):
was weird. Well that's all the time. Yeah, so I
don't know, let's just move on from it. Yeah, that's
not that's a non story, right, I guess really when
you you weigh all the real things that are problems,
but these are still getting headlines. Yeah. I mean if
it ends up being a thing where they committed financial

(42:33):
crimes and it allows them to uncover more financial crimes,
more worse financial crimes. And finally, we just wanted to
talk about my Space and Tom because this is an
alternate reality where that site still exists. Uh No, because
people were talking about him. I guess in the aftermath

(42:53):
of the Zuckerberg testimony in front of Congress, people suddenly
started getting whispful for a social media entrepreneur who didn't
seem like a mannequin brought to life by an enchant
to booster seat. Uh so Zuckerberg was you know, while
he was being questioned, my Space started trending on Twitter.

(43:14):
Uh and Tom was basically mimified. And our writer jam
McNabb pointed out that my Space in the time, since
like everybody stopped using my Space, they have just been
going around trying to sell all the information they gathered
about people and successfully doing it. So the first thing
my Space did was sell to Rupert Murdock for five

(43:37):
and eighty million dollars. They were owned by News Corps
for a little while. That didn't go well, and he
sold them for I think thirty something, which thirty five
which I don't think is as big as five eighty million. Uh,
that's what super producer Nick Stuff would call a bob.

(43:57):
He got Rupert Murdock to take up. Rupert Bert took
an absolute both they're now owned by Time Inc. And
you know they are Time Inc. And my Space are
linking up. You know, all the information Time Inc. Has
from their magazine subscriptions and emails when people sign up

(44:19):
for newsletters with the MySpace data to have access to
over a billion registered users globally and over four dred
and sixty five million email addresses in the US. So
my Space is pool of registered data. Is you know
they're saying it can serve as the centerpiece of a
major new cross channel marketing initiative. So my Space still

(44:42):
managed to be Uh, they were doing it before Zuckerberg,
right exactly. And the further back I feel I feel
like from this point forward. Now that we are aware
of it, things might get better. But uh, nobody was
innocent back in the day. Like everybody was just doing
a mad grab for as my because no one, no
one had, no one raised these questions in public. Right,

(45:04):
It's funny to think that basically my space is being
a fucking graveyard of like data, They're still able to
be like with other techno, like, you know, with the
other information they have, try and be like, oh wait,
we can match, oh this is probably you based on
this email address or whatever, and we still have I
guess they know that I really liked Narles Barkley, right, Yeah,
that's the good news is that they're going to be

(45:25):
hitting you up with like, hey, so you like Crazy
by Narls Barkley. Tequila is the hottest. Yeah, I'm trying
to think what data they have. They'd come at me
and be like, you're still rocking that band? No, yeah,
we broke up ten years ago my space. Crazy Microphones
right right right, still playing at the Kippets Room, you know.

(45:47):
All right, we're gonna take a quick break and we're back.
And uh it is four nineteen one, less than uh
Hitler's birthday. The chillist day of all. Uh no that

(46:09):
it's all twenty National Weed Day. I don't know. All right, alright,
happy take it from here, take it from here. Yeah, well, bro,
let's talk about really I want to talk about drug Um.
There was this, uh, the International Journal of Drug Policy

(46:31):
just released a little bit of a report on their
sort of analysis of just sort of the different forms
of like drug policy that is out there, especially in
the United States. Like after many conferences like the leading
uh drug policy experts, they are kind of concluded or
just you know, they did some research with economist, criminals,
other people and be like, Okay, let's look at the
different forms of drug laws we have. So we'll talk

(46:54):
specifically about weeds since it's you know, four nineteen. Uh
in this country, it's you know, absolute prohibition that we
have here where it's just completely illegal from a federal
standpoint and you just can't have it on no way.
And then there's decriminalization, which sort of how it was
in this state, uh when there was medical marijuana, like
and when it was first introduced, where you could consume
and possess it, but it wasn't considered a full on

(47:15):
criminal offense. But the drug was still considered illegal, but
now that we have recreational use laws were more in
like the state control of the market, which is where
the state can sort of regulate everything from the age
limits to control of production and sales. Where we're not
quite there where the government is actually controlling the means
of production, but they do have real regulations that make
the market sort of safe for consumers where they have

(47:37):
it tested to make sure you're not, you know, smoking
crazy pesticides, or have it in proper packaging to make
a child safe and things like that. And then you
have the unfettered free market where drugs are just treated
no differently than any consumer. You're like a fucking hat.
Can I ask a very dumb question about the state
of legalization in California right now? Um? Does it mean
that I could go into a medman or a weed

(47:58):
store and buy a marijuana cigaret it and then walk
down the street and smoke it in the world. So
you can't smoke it in public. You can privately, but
you cannot consume it out in the open. Uh. So, yes,
you could go into a medmen and buy your jazz cigarette.
And what do you think like an edible like it's
I mean, no one's gonna know. No one's gonna know
if the gummy bears are are like magic gummy bears. Yeah,

(48:19):
unless you're like, unless you're being so aggressive where you're like, hey, guys,
I'm about to eat one of those weed candies. I
wouldn't be aggresive, like when I go to Vegas and
allow you to drink in the street. I look at
cops when I do it because I'm really enjoying the freedom.
So if I did have, uh, weed gummy bears, I
would scarf them down in front of the cop, being
like this look like a time does it just have

(48:39):
like the big bag opens? Like, oh, what quick could
these be? I would not suggest scarfing down edible spot
maybe take one to a half. No, No, you're like,
let's just do a little experiment. But what if I'm
trying to be like nasty in front of a cop. Yeah, yeah,
that's true. I mean I hope it's worth that. Yeah. So,
I mean it's just interesting. I think for most people,

(48:59):
we probably realized that the complete criminalization of of marijuana
was an absolutely absurd idea. But again, it's just good
to know we're we're moving closer and closer to acceptance
and kind of embracing in a way that's creating tremendous
tax revenues and can be put to good use, especially
when you look at things like when you have states
where teachers are literally about like striking because they're not

(49:21):
getting the proper pay and things like that. Wow, you
could probably use a couple hundred million in tax revenue
in a state like that to do some ship. So,
you know, again I'm probably preaching to the choir to
some people who listen. But again I think you check
out this study that will post you in the foot notes,
you know, just you can learn yourself a little bit
about how these forms of drug policy affect it's in
different ways and what might be best going forward. So

(49:44):
which one came out on top? Is there a country
that like has the policy that we should be trying
to I mean, they weren't looking at it so much
as like a country we should adopt, because again they're
sort of looking at through the lens of like the
United States too, and what that means for consumers in
this country. But again, again it seems like the most
sort of from like the benefits and cost of it,

(50:05):
like state control has like the highest social impact that's positive.
And the high states. This is what you're arguing for states,
right as usual? As usual. Man, if you don't want
to bake somebody a cake, you don't got to write
you know what I mean, because that's your right. Bro.
You know, I get down. Yeah No, And that's a
joke in case somebody's listening for the first time. That's

(50:25):
not my real stance. Breaking news. Kid Cutty and cling
Air making an album together. Daniel just just saw that
across the transom they went, they went through a rough
they went through a rough time together. Yeah. Another back
I'd like to see that is that right around when
Drake's album drops, because it didn't Drake have a Kid
Cutty Beef oh Ship. Yeah. I think it comes out
at the end of June or nice. Like to see

(50:49):
competitive the Scorpion Scorpion. And finally, we want to talk
about Starbucks, who are going to be solving racism in May,
uh when they're closing eight thousand company owned US cafes
for the afternoon to train nearly a hundred and seventy

(51:10):
five thousand employees on how to prevent racial discrimination in stores.
That's happening on May nine. Okay, so if you're white
and you work at a Starbucks and you want to
be racist, get it in now, get it all out
of your system. Guys, get it out. Called the police
on me? Um when I ask for the unicorn uh frappuccino.
That's the purple and pink one. That was a limited

(51:32):
time only not only drink the pink drink. But that's
another story. But yeah, I guess, I mean, are you
looking forward to this? Smiles? I mean, this is gonna
be I don't you know. I had to say I
just stopped going to Starbucks because of this. Uh yeah,
I mean it's I think I stopped doing it because
it made me uncomfortable at first. I do acknowledge that.

(51:53):
You know, on one hand, a lot of people will
look at this and say, oh, this was good pr move.
Of course you need to do that after the big
Google in Philadelphia. But also a credit to Starbucks, because
there are many businesses who have shipped like that and
realize that they can move on with business as usual
and it won't affect their bottom line. But Starbucks, I

(52:13):
think understands that they're kind of different. Like people want
to go into a Starbucks and want to feel like
that's a place you can go to, even if it
is not even to buy a drink, you know what
I mean, Like just be like, oh, I can pop in,
you know what I mean. Like, it's it's based on
feeling inviting. That's why people go there with their laptops
to write their pilots all day. Um. But I think

(52:33):
they do understand that. Wow, Like if we're not actually
actively promoting an atmosphere of inclusion, that does affect our business.
So in one sense, I'm like, you know, credit to you,
that's smart business sense because you're at least acknowledging like
what is really important to their business, uh, and knowing
that like, yeah, we can't have people feeling like they're
gonna get fucking harassed or whatever by the police is
because they're not white or whatever AND's sitting down. Uh.

(52:56):
And then at the other part, I'm like, well, you
think you can solve it in one fucking afternoon, in
which case I would say this to Starbucks. If you're
gonna take the time to be like, we're gonna have
this implicit biased class on May nine, the new June tenth, right, Uh,
we're gonna solve it once and for all. Now, how
about this, Starbucks, If one of y'all fuck up one

(53:16):
more time, can you just like give ownership of your
company over to uh like the victims of your harassment
or things like what's your what's your fail safe here?
To make sure that you guys follow through on this.
I mean, obviously that's impossible, but you know, I want
them to also set a bar for themselves. If they're
saying they're really serious about it, then let's talk about
other things aside from just an afternoon of talk about it.

(53:37):
I'd also really like to see uh, their curriculum that day,
like like what they're what that class is gonna look like.
You know that that's good because I'm really curious about
that because I think what they're doing is probably good
and also definitely uh pr move. And it's just I'm
curious about the curriculum because people and businesses do this
a lot. They get caught doing something bad and they're like,

(53:59):
I'm gonna go to rehab for a month, ten days,
I'm gonna disappear for a while work, I'm gonna meet
with these people. I'm gonna have this conversation. Uh, And
it always seems like I'm gonna do this thing you
can't see, and then when I'm done, we'll all agree
that I'm cured, that things are better. Uh, And it
always feels pretty bullshitty to me. So I'm just like,
and I'm almost just like broadly curious, like, yeah, what

(54:19):
is a one day class on ending and afternoon? Has
there ever been a corporate like team building session that
has been effective in any way other than just being
you know, a pep rally? Well, you know how they
had like sexual harassment training and then no one did
sexual harassment in the workplace? Ye, so that that worked there?

(54:40):
So like, how do you think they can get a
hundred seventy five thousand employees on the same page to
take the exact same training the exact same time. Like,
I don't feel like that's possible, Like esppociedly with part
time work, some people are not. They're like, yo, I
don't work on Wednesday or I don't work on the
twenty nine. I mean, it's just again that's not really
a main issue, but I just think about the logistics
of it. It seems also very big. This is also

(55:02):
part of a pattern for the CEO Howard Schultz, I
believe his name is uh and Let's not Forget about
Race Together campaign in which customers and baristas were encouraged
to delve it into America's issues with race while they
were waiting for their drinks. And that was a bad idea.

(55:24):
That was like one of the all time bad ideas. So,
you know, hopefully he's not too involved in whatever the
curriculum is. Hi, welcome to Starbucks. What's your race right now?
I can see by looking at you that you're not white?
Has that been difficult? You like to talk about that
over this coffee? Sir? Are you Filipino? No? Oh, you

(55:45):
look like it. Okay, Well I'm black and Japanese. Oh
that's cool. You want to uh, just just give me
these suvite egg bites and let me go. And one
thing to look out for. Some conservative forums have been
distributing these hoax coupons uh that are basically Starbucks coupons
that give people of color a free coffee, uh, and

(56:10):
it just says we're sorry, we know we can do better.
Starbucks values all people of color, and we're working on
employee sensitivity training. And it's like a coupon for a
free something or other. Those are fake? So wow, yeah,
I don't they even think that achieves? Right, They're like, oh,
can you believe it? They're giving black people free coffee
because of this? Exactly? Is that really? Yeah? Yeah? Look

(56:31):
how crazy the PC world has gone? Right? Okay? Cool?
I mean I'm gonna, you know what, I might just
put one of those up and take it in and
they started, real fucking problem. I got this. What the
funk are you saying? So you're not sorry? Oh? Hell no.
I would actually really like to see how they respond

(56:52):
to that. They will just be a bunch of nervous
people behind the counter, like people have to wait until.
I don't know how I feel about this yet people
have learned yet all people of color check out the
footnotes because I'm sure there'll be a link to that thing.
We're gonna going into Starbucks getting that free coffee. Daniel, Yeah,
it has been a pleasure having you as always. Where
can people find you? You can find me at Twitter
