Speaker 2 (07:23):
When you hear buns and cross together and hot not
a lot enough, and I went to Catholic school for years. Baby,
I was in that c CD.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I was trying to shut out c CD. Shout out

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Devil was trying to chase me down. And I never

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Okay, what where were you on nine eleven?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Do you remember?

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I do? I remember exactly, baby, Yeah, Actually, my mom
was driving me to detention.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Wait you early morning detention, early.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Morning detention before school. My mom was driving me to detention.
I forgot what I did, probably popped off at a
physics teacher or something, and.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Or I was saying something bad is gonna happen, nobody
will listen to me, America is not ready.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
And then my mom, I still has a nasty habit
of listening to AM radio, which I still love. Like
the sound truly is horrible in my physiological body, abhorrent.
But yeah, And they were explaining that a plane had
driven into the tower, and it was like at that

(08:40):
time and it was so early in the morning, and
we were like confused. We're like, was it an accident
or something? And it was like right as it happened,
until like, you know, hours later, they're like, oh, it's
a terrorist.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Attack, right right, right, Yeah, I remember you were reading
that book to the children when somebody came up and
told you about it. Yeah, Miles, were you you were
in high school?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I was in I was a junior in high school.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And I just.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Remember I watched on Good Day La, the Fox morning
news show they.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Rolling the TV or you were at a point where.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
No nose because at that point I didn't have to
I didn't have to get to school till like seven
forty five in the West Coast.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
It happened super early. Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
So I woke up, I'm eating my Yeah, I'm like
I remember because I made my little breakfast breedo on
the microwave. I went back to my room to like
just put the morning news on and like put my
get ready for school and ship and news like a
fucking adult. Well, No, Good Day La was like a
joke morning. Like it was they're like goofy, you know

(09:42):
what I mean, Like they were having fun. So it
wasn't like it's still the news, but it was still
them like fucking around.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Oh yeah, it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
My girl, Jillian Barbary on Julian Barbary.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
You know you still love Good Day La. Yeah, for sure.
She was so hot when I was a child, I
thought she was so hot.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Oh yeah, she had and then she I remember she had,
she went through a few name changes. I remember she
got married. That was like a whole thing. I was
like having a Gillian Barbary.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Uh yeah, it's what a show. What a show? But anyway,
and then I went to school and then I remember
my APUs history teacher said, guys, the world is going
to be completely different after the day, just so you know.
And I was like, you're just saying that because.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Your history she was way off. Yeah, that was That's crazy.
Did you guys watch it at school or they like
just kind of trying to keep it look.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Back on and think, is really weird, Like we watched
it all day at school, And I'm like, was that
for us? Yeah, Like we were just in school watching
it in every class for the whole day.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
At ours, it was like a very briefly like it
was on the TVs. And then like once the towers
were down there like all right, enough of this, and
then they had like a we had a like a
school like a all hands meeting in the chair and
then I remember I called my mom because then a
bunch of kids started leaving school like as their parents are, like,

(11:01):
you know, who knows what the is gonna happen? And
I speaking of physics, I had a fucking physics test
that day.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I told my mom, like, you.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Need to pick me up, bro, because I didn't ask
that for this shit, and I'm not the frame of
mind to take no straight up. Was like, Mom, I
will fucking fail. And she's like, did you know you
had the test? I'm like, yes, I do.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yes. I kind of had a feeling something was gonna
happen today, and so I was just like, I don't know.
It was all over the place, mom, exactly exactly, all right. Anyways,
moving along to this nine to eleven. Ah, Yes, twenty
twenty five, Clair, we're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in the moment. Oh, we're gonna tell
you're welcome. We're very excited appreciate you letting us get

(11:42):
to know you. First, We're gonna tell the listeners a
couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about
two sides of the class war. We've got Cuomo gathering
landlords and developers to plot against Mom Donnie, and then
we've got Zoramm Donnie taking on FIFA's dynamic pricing when
comes to the price of tickets for the FIFA World Cup. Basically,

(12:05):
they're like, we can charge what over the fuck we want?
You're doing uber prices, Baby, it's a crime. Search is
a crime syndicate. Yeah, so we'll talk about that. We'll
talk about the Conjuring franchise number one at the box
office and just the background of that show and where
it seems to be headed that movie, because this is

(12:27):
supposed to be the last one, but we don't think
it is all that plenty more. But first, Blair, we
do like to ask our guest, what is something from
your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Wow, that's so kind of you to ask Jack. God
funny that you bring that up, because my actual last
Google search is what is the newest research about octopuses
being sentient? And so then I got on a deep
dive on that and I will be publishing a substack

(12:58):
later today with under some of it.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah. Yeah, do you like eating octopus?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
And well I was raised on it, my whole.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Life housing octopus. Right now, everybody watching all over her face.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Still something I've come to. That's all very sad, confusing
sort of reckoning that I have to be honest with
myself about because I come from a diving family, so
I've eaten it my whole life quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
And diving not like competitive pool diving, but.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Diving in the ocean and like catching their diving, their
fishing all that. No, actually, Jack, I'm very sorry to
correct you, but the correct nomenclature at this time has
been changed back to octopuses, not like octopi, like when
we were taught when we were young.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well, just correct both of you. I said catching octopus
like catching fish instead of fishes. So you're both wrong.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
And yeah, I can see where you were going with is.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Fish is a word? No, I mean fish is in
terms of the present.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, I got a lot of table it's not it's Yeah,
you're right, you gotta get me a break.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
But you can't blame it all nine eleven.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I can't blame it all on nine eleven. But it
certainly didn't help Miles.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Wait, so then are you so now you're a little
bit because I feel the same way because everything every
time you see a documentary or something about an octopus, like,
oh my god, they're fucking there. They know, they know, well, apparently.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
They're sentient and they can recognize faces. They're extremely intelligent.
They can edit their own art social which is the
pea cursor to editing their own DNA, and so, like,
you know, there's all this new research coming out about it,
and it's basically to me, I'm like, oh my god,
it's like eating a dog, and I just don't feel
like it's ethical, even though you know, I eat cows,
which I do feel guilty about every day as well,

(14:57):
even though I don't foresee stopping.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
But you're an athlete, specimen. You gotta keep. You got
to pack in the protest.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
I am a carnivore, but I'm deciding I'm making an
executive decision, I think to stop eating octopus going forward.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, octopus is so such is so prevalent in like
Japanese food too that like, yeah, I was raised eating
like takoyaki, which is likest ball thing, or like taco wassa,
which is like what like wassa be root with like
raw octopus. It's like a really good little side thing.
And yeah, every time I like see that, it is
just sort of like co fuck.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
But I've noticed I'm a stirring of guilt inside me
like the last year or so, and you know, I
am very very addicted to TikTok, so I'm really in
taking a lot of info at all time.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Good. Good.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
So I just had to make the decision.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean they sound more advanced than
like the DNA RNA. Yeah, like that sounds I don't
like I've tried that before. It hasn't totally worked out
the ability to edit my own DNA and are just
with sheer tyranny of will. So that's pretty pretty impressive.
They don't they don't live long lives. I've long had

(16:09):
this theory that octopus, octopi, octopuses, octopuss octopises would be
way more advanced if like they they would run the
globe and be like waging wars and or not, you know,
just being cool. But like they, we would work for
octopuses if they just had longer lifespans.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, there also have been discovering new species and are
saying that there are many other octopus species that we
haven't even discovered yet, and that they are possibly linked
to our own evolutionary.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Uh, we're all octopuses maybe I don't know, or extraterrestrial.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
We'll see. At the risk of the zeching listeners thinking
I'm a total quack.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, they would never, they would never. No, No, you're goaded,
You're God with the sauce, Like.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, I'm some odd special. I only found out I'm
autistic six months ago. But it explains a lot. Like
I mean, I like, my whole life really makes sense now,
Like I mean, I'm like, I complain now, I have
so much stuff to do, and then I spent like
all morning like just researching about octopus.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Why I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
No, that's the info you need.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
It's what I needed.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
I guess what is something that you think is underrated?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Underrated? Look, I could catch some heat for this, but
look I'm no strangers that, huh. I'm a true tailer. Baby,
I'm gonna have to go. Lady Goga absolutely.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Stupid.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
I know, I know it's so controversial, but Lady gog
got seventeen years in and she's still at the top
of her game, never stopped innovating once. I just love
her so much and many people say, many people say,
how can she be underrated, but I still think she
is because the level that she had, no one's there.
She's incredible. She's an all time generational talent and I'm

(18:10):
so proud of her and I love watching her incredible
VMA appearance just like oh, just her new music incredible
and I'm going to go see her on tour. I
love her.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Blair's our number one vm A correspondent. Can you tell
us what happened to the VMAs with you? What did
you do?

Speaker 2 (18:24):
She just came out with her new song and of
course had an incredible like camp goth production value and
just just like so impressive, and everyone was talking about
Tate McCray and look, I'm proud of you, Tate mcray.
I love to see the young guns coming in doing great,
but for Lady Gaga to be seventeen years in and
just absolutely fucking still hammering, I'm so it just gets

(18:47):
me pumped.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Such a such a jock way to describe, It's just gets.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh dog, I mean, I'm proud, I'm proud. So yeah,
that's why I think is underrated and people should probably give.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
A look to Yeah there is that the is that
the song she performed I saw that Tim Burton directed
her latest music video.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Is that what that's for?

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Now? We're talking twist.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I'm not sure, but I feel like her whole vibe
right now is like very goth Tim Burton.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean like that makes dead dance. I think
is the video that he It's so.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Good and well like she She did a cameo on Wednesday,
which I also feel is a very well done show.
I can't imagine that Miles or Jack have taking the
time to watch it, but Wednesday I did show that
I really love so and she had a cameo in
it at the end of the season which was just

(19:43):
so excellent and incredible, and she made a song for Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
We're in Adam's family, family, in this household, in this
household perfect. We haven't broken into Wednesday yet, but it's
probably coming.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh, it's excellent, very well done.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, what is something Blair that you think is overrated?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Thank you for asking.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Jack.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
It's and it's gonna have to be lab boo boos.
I don't want a stuffed animal attach to my purse.
Stop it. I'm not falling victim to your beanie baby
ass Craze reboot. Okay, I don't like reboots in general,
and I don't give a shit about laboo boos, and
I think they're weird, even though I love stuffed animals,
So it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Oh you love stuffed animals.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, in the privacy of my own goddamn cave, like
I'm not walking around Wait.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Hold on, wait, wait you you really focused stuffed animals
like that?

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I have no Okay, if I'm going to be I've
already revealed so much on this show over the last decade.
I have one weighted, like six pound bear that is
sort of like a weighted blanket that I sleep with.
And then I have one stuffed animal from my childhood
named Gerilli that I have recently brought from my parents'

(20:53):
house up to here because it was like a thing
with me and my brother. So that's like a little
comfort thing. So a moment I have two in my oka.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I thought you were like low key, like you really
into stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
He's no miles, that'd.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Be freaky, Okay, just because I researched octopuses for several hours,
does I mean I have like.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Not freaking to me at all.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Doesn't like I'm some freak adult stuffy house a freaky ass.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Camera turns around and just a roomful of stuffed animals
just watching Blair.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
She has them all set up like it looks like
a comedy club audience. They all have to have drinks
and food and little flickering candle. She would be.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Really funny to do a special to that.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Maybe you should do that.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
I'll give you a writing credit.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
You know, you have to just invite us. That's well,
but we would have to like hide behind.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
You know, you'd have to be inside stage.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
I'll wait and the wings going with my hands clushed
with the splare you're doing it? You're doing it.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
They put in the hospital if I did that pro.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Wait, do you know do you have contemporaries that are
fucking with boos?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh yeah, a lot of them and actually like a
few of my favorite people. So no shade to them
if they listen to this. I support you in your
freaky ass like endeavors, but I think they're weird and
I would never participate no matter what, and.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
They should be ashamed of themselves. The weighted stuffed bear
that kind of acts as a way to blanket. Does
it lay on you face down or face up?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh my god, Jock, I'm just trying.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
To get here.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Question like I'm trying pod kind.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Of perverted us.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Questions like your face down?

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Which way my weighted up bear is facing. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I'm just like picturing a bear like laying face down, lifeless.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
I ask you, is it north to south? What are
we talking about? I mean it's on my.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Chest usually or in my I where I'm crazdling it.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
You know, six pounds. I feel like that's like I
get a blanket because that weight is distributed pretty easily.
That's just like try having one image of contact of.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Like chest and it's like, yeah, okay, I'm when I'm
struggling watching I.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Wasn't trying to make it a horny I was just
trying to like get a where that's where.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Jack's particular things come out.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
To laugh with you.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
He's nervously texting me right now there.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
He's blair mad. Cut this out, Cut this out, Cut
this out. Why are you texting me this? I just
think it's a funny visual image a bear lying either
face down on top of you or face up on
top of you. I know that's just me.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
You have no idea how I'm a weird though.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
The face to face is like you're hugging the bear,
I mean, and then outwardly also feels more like a
display hug you know what I mean, And you tell the.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Bear I'm finnick.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Have you by the waste?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah? Does it say that?

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Sometimes it doesn't speak if you can believe it.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
What your money's on.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
But just a nervous system tool that's kind of cozy.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, help your limbic system out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Absolutely, calm down that Amychdala exactly.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Brock, Why does it make.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Me laugh so hard every time you bring out ter?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
You gotta bring up terror the god? You know what
I mean, You know what I mean. If we're not
doing rain, what's it all about? Baby?

Speaker 1 (24:37):
What's it all about?

Speaker 3 (24:38):
How are we going to navigate these emotional trials and tribulations?

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Jack? You know about this?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Recognize allow investigate nurtures like this like therapist spiritual woman
who like broadcasts I think from like DC Virginia and
Maryland are somewhere in the d MV. But like my
I remember, He's like I've been listening to this Tara
Brock lady.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Her voice is so soothing and.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
She just has like these like sort of long form
talks about like, you know, our emotions and things like that.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
And she's a meditation teacher and yeah, her voice is
like just very like almost hypnotizing.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Really, it's like it's like the goaded NPR voice.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's like.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Around, yeah, yeah, exactly, if we're going goded NPR voices,
it's Tara Brock Terry Gross.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
When I used to lead some online breathwork classes, I'd
always be like, I wonder how this sounding for them?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Are you doing? How would you do it? Are you
doing really soft? Are you projecting?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Is it more like I can't remember? No, I can't.
I don't know. It's so long.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Ago to breathe in.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Sometimes people will come up to me and be at
the show and be like I took one of your
breathwork classes, And I'm always like, wow, that's so weird.
Like after you stand up, yeah, like I mean like, wow,
you've seen so many.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Different yeah, genre, yeah, it does matter.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Love you hit the Blairsack Triple Crown.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
That's right, Oh, very weird. Cal Let's uh, let's take
a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're
back and during that break, so we were recording this

(26:35):
on Wednesday around noon and just found out that Charlie
Kirk was shot. We that's really all we know at
this point.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, at an event in Utah.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, that it was in Utah.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
I mean at this point that by the time you
guys hear this, I'm sure a.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Lot you know more than we do.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
We may sound a little caught off guard, yeah, because
we're just like, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 (26:57):
And obviously the gun situation America's fucking horrifying, and yeah,
it's really bad.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Anyway, what else?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
What else?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Chris, I just like, I mean, like, what a fucking
I don't know without knowing what's happening, Like, we're on
such a fucking crazy trajectory right now at the country
where Yeah, I don't even know, I don't know where.
I don't know where this goes.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
I mean, we have talked about Trump wanting a thing
to happen that will allow him to like consolidate power,
like be more you know.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, but I think that happening in Utah, all States
is a little bit different than it. I'm sure you'd
have left something that's like that to happen in Illinois
or something. Anyway, Uh, don't look online ever at things after.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I'm not going to watch on the floor right now,
Like we were literally just talking in depth about octopuses
and now yeah, and now we get that news and
it's just so scary and obviously not a fan of
that man at all, but I mean, this stuff just
cannot be happening. It's just like shootings every freaking day

(28:12):
in this country, and it just makes me sick.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yeah, well it's the same thing too, Like even when
you talk about then, like the Chicago you know that
sort of like loaded mention of Chicago all the time
that conservatives use. All you're really talking about, too, is
just our gun problem in Yeah, it's not, although they
liked to just have it be coded for people of color,
but like, ultimately, these are all the fucking ills that

(28:36):
we suffer because what is it, like one and a
half guns per person in the United States or something
like that, like the ratio of guns to people in
the United States.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, in my opinion, it's legalized school shootings, which is
just like unforgivable. The fact that it just happens weekly
and it's just a thing where you just never know,
you know, it's.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
One point two guns per person.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
It's just it's so sad and for them to even
talk about safety or anything. It's just ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, I mean, RFK Junior is my number one enemy.
You'd think he would be maxed out on bad takes
for the month, But he recently said during a press
event that school shootings weren't a problem when he was
a kid, and then suggested that the real problem was
over medicating children.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Right, these fucking boomer idiots do.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
It made me so mad. And also, you know what,
that concept of medication is such a generational thing, like
that older generation really has no knowledge about mental health
and medication. Like, I mean, Prozac to me, saves my life,

(29:48):
Like I'm a complete It changed my life overnight. And
when I saw him say that that was the reason
for an elementary Catholic school shooting was antidepressants, I was
just like, how is this idiot like involved in anything?
Like we're we're in chaos right now.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Well, I think a lot of things that that generation
fails to understand is like the relative like the stability
that people had then too, Like there was still the
ability to have like a minimum weight job and like
raise a family, and like those kinds of pressures are
completely different for people now. Along with social media and
everything else that's happening to just be like it's the pills.

(30:29):
It's like, well, maybe it's your brain worm and the
lead for you, buddy.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, but also, you know, the big difference between when
he was a kid and now is that guns are
so much more prevalent. There are twice as many guns
per capita. There were twice as many guns per capita
in twenty sixteen than there were in nineteen sixty eight,
and that's risen sharply since then. So do you guys.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Ever have any hope of their ever being gun control?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
I don't know, Yeah, I do. It seems so obvious,
like such an obvious idea. I do think that when
you look back over the history of you know, how
we've seen progress, there are these like things that are
terrible ideas that everybody just assumes are hopeless, you know,

(31:20):
just horrible situations that everyone's like, well, but they're never
getting rid of that, and then slowly there's just like
a slowly slowly and then all of a sudden things shift.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
I mean, it's been twenty five years since.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Like our lifetime. Yeah, I don't think it'll be any.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Time it changes, Like you know. My first thought is
always like, how is it easier than getting a driver's license.
Driver's license you have to pass multiple tests, you have
to study, like, you have to take classic like you know,
you have to be approved. Like it should be way
harder than getting a driver's license, and you should be

(32:00):
have to do like mental wellness checks and like all
this stuff to be given a license to have a gun.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I mean this administration has already done
a lot to try And remember when they took mel
Gibson's they were like revoked his license and then that
person got fired, right, Like, what are you enforcing our laws?
It's I don't know, I mean, it's just everything every
regulatory body has been captured by the industry that it's
meant to regulate.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
So yeah, comparatively, they have really high levels of psych
med prescriptions and consumptions in Australia, like similar to the
United States, and they don't have mass shootings.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah. I feel like he had one and they took
care of it immediately, nip that in the butt, and
now they their children are safe when they just try
to go to school.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, it's hard to explain. It's that it's that onion
headline that where it's like, you know, the comprehensible.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Or like no way to prevent this, uh says only
nation where this regularly happens.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Well, one thing that does
give me hope is the success of Zoramumdani in New
York City. The idea that like somebody could break through
with pretty like straightforward policies that again, like I think
you asked people before he ran, and you they would

(33:30):
be like no, like that can't work. And now he's dominating.
Like it's not just that he like eked out a victory,
he is absolutely dominating the mayoral race in a city
that is the capital of capitalism, and that's a problem

(33:50):
for the billionaires. The latest polling has Quomo down fifteen
points against Zorimumdani. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's it's getting pretty grim right now. Yeah,
And I think you know, Zorin has basically been unstoppable
since the primary and there's nothing that nipple clamps Cuomo
can do to kind of stop that.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
And do we know, so there's that picture of him
where there's like something going on under his shirt, do
we know has he ever like been asked about that,
about the important Has anyone bothered to ask the important questions?

Speaker 3 (34:25):
I mean, I'm surprised he hasn't brought that up. It like, yo,
it looks like he got he got straight up bar
bills through them shits.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Maybe he's got maybe he runs a lot, and he's
got those little guards that you put up so you
can keep the chafing away. But it bunched up.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
I don't know. But we just don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
The thing we do know is that Andrew Cuomo certainly
has the backing of landlords and land developers in Manhattan.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Oh thank god.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah, because Cuomo basically lit up like the landlord signal,
like into the Manhattan sky like some fucking shitty batman
thing to gather the city's biggest landlords and developers to
coordinate how to get him in office. And we've already
seen like the White House dangle like an ambassadorship in
front of Eric Adams to like induce him to like
drop out of the induce a dropout from him in

(35:16):
the race. We still don't know if that's successful, because
Eric Adams is like.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Like I'm in it to the end. Unless you know.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
He's probably negotiating something right now if he's you know,
all these people are craven tit for tat sort of
transactional people. But this is from the New York Times
reporting quote. On Tuesday morning, at roughly the same time
the President Trump was opening on the radio about Eric
Adams bottom of the barrel poll numbers, a group of
real estate leaders and business people gathered at the Pool Room,
an exclusive event space in the Seagrum Building in Midtown Manhattan,

(35:48):
to meet with former Governor Andrew Cuomo to help plot
his path to city Hall. The event took place less
than fourteen hours after Jeff Blau, arguably Manhattan's biggest developer,
and his wife Lisa, an investor, sent an email blast
members of their exclusive circle what a fucking euphemism for
oligarch circle jerk, saying that if they did not take
immediate action to sport Cuomo, the election in November would

(36:10):
assuredly won by Assemblyman Mamdanni. This is from the email quote.
Sorry for the late notice, but there's no more time
for delay, discussion, or dithering. We must act decisively to
ensure that the next Mayor of New York is Andrew Cuomo.
The only viable candidate with the experienced support and gravitas
to defeat Zorn Mamdani is Andrew Cuomo. So they're in

(36:30):
a full on panic. It seems like right now.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
That also sounds like the time for discussion is over.
I think, like maybe because they're like, who do we
get behind? Because that's the thing a lot of people
are like, where's all the big who's where's the big
money gonna like get behind? Is the big money that
was behind Cuomo already in the first place.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, But I think now they're really trying to be like, well,
who's gonna win and what's a waste of money? And
I guess that's where now this email goes on and say, quote,
the time to act is now. If we fail to
mobilize the financial capital of the world risks being handed
over to a socialist this November. We cannot and will
not let that up.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Like that is just villain shit, Yeah, pray up, Like
that's the thing you you hear the villain say before
they cut to like a giant plot to fucking kill
Mamdani or something like what the fuck?

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yeah, So yeah, it's it's just very I mean, I
think again, this is what class solidarity looks like. You know,
these people know in this land owning, landowner developer class
that like the the whole thing hinges on preventing people
from getting into office that are going to do things
like be like we need like rent freezes and we
need to actually have affordable housing where the rent is

(37:48):
fully controlled so people actually have like a you know,
consistent place to live where they're not getting gouged every
year like things are now. And it looks like right now,
Trump advisors are also trying to find a position to
offer Curtis Sliwa to also get him to drop out.
So they're just basically doing everything they can to be like, guys,
the only choice now is Cuomo or Zorin. If you

(38:11):
have money, you are duty bound by class to vote
for Cuomo.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Right Meanwhile, Zorin keeps doing things that sound like they
were you know, thought up at a meeting where someone's like, oh,
that'd be neat. So like the latest thing is trying
to get FIFA to set aside some tickets so that
people from host cities of the World Cup could actually
like afford tickets to go there, as opposed to the

(38:37):
way that it's set up right now is it's it
sounds like it's like an unlimited surge pricing where it's
just like I don't know if you if there's a
lot of people who want that ticket, the sky is
the limit to how expensive it could be.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Yeah, bidding war basically. Yeah, I mean it's remember when
Wendy's tried to do that, They're like, we're gonna roll
out dynamic pricing because like sometimes when maybe like when
business is slow, we'll lower prices to get more people
to come in. Really, no, you're the whole thing was
it's good to charge people more fucking money. And as
someone who is a rabid soccer fan and knowing that

(39:10):
the World Cup will be played in like La, their
fucking website is like just completely unusable. It's like crashing
and like the process is so convoluted. It's like you
can enter a drawing to then be potentially selected for
a pre sale and then you may get your Tit's
I don't even know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
There will be a golden ticket hidden in five chocolate bars. Yeah. Yeah.
So he released a video talking about how we need
to push back against this and also doing like a
couple little soccer moves like it feels like he was like,
I also like want to do this video because I'm
kind of nice with it with a soccer balls, you

(39:51):
know a team, you know a team he supports. I
would venture to guess it's the Arsenal. It's your damn right,
you damn right, it is. I'm right, it is.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
There's something about Arsenal man like, you know, I think
Alex Carrittsanas is also an Arsenal support.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Oh yeah, see all you talked about when he came out.
We had to record a second episode because all you
cracked up all the time when he came on Arsenal.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
It happens do people with high intellects. I don't know
what to say.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Oh you like Arsenal Miles?

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah, if it wasn't clear from this my background where I'm.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Just guessing, Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Crown his Arsenal. He was just kissing his wrists because
he has an Arsenal.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
This is Blair going on a blind date with me.
So you like Arsenal? Yeah, old, did you know about that?
I don't know the whole uniform.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
You like Arsenal too? What? No, that's just you're wearing
headed to Arsenal, including soccer cleats. They're like clacking on
the ground as you walk up to the table.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
I lost my turf shoes, which are more sneaker like,
so I had to just wear my soft ground cleat plate.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
I do admire the soccer fandom because you would never
catch my assing up in the middle of the night
to watch a game. Are you kidding me? That is crazy?

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Do you even do you get activated for the World Cup? Like?
Do you get Does your Italian heritage come through and
you One time.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
When I was young, I was in Italy when they
won the World Yes, and that was pretty much the peak.
It's been downhill from there. I enjoyed the way the
city celebrated very much, and the culture, the wine and
the streets. But almost I haven't been super involved, but

(41:34):
the game's not really I like, if it's in the daytime,
someone I know is passionate about it. I always support
people's passions, but I can't say that I myself am
wrapped up into it. I do like the women's soccer,
the US women's soccer.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Yeah, it's the one US team that actually does well.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Unrelated to you know, your interest, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yeah, Yeah. No, we like a winner, don't we, folks.
We do, we do. Should we take a quick break
and come back and talk about the movies? Sure, let's
let's take a break and come back talk about the movies.
We'll be right back, and we're back. And I had

(42:24):
kind of missed this. I knew they were. They had
a conjuring movie coming out that was supposed to be
the final one, came out last weekend? Blare, Are you
a conjuring fan?

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Well, funny that you asked that, Jack, I actually don't
have a nervous system equipped for horror movies. Yeah, I
already I already have enough horror in my head as
it is. So No, I don't watch those are you.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
No, no, no, but they're shockingly popping. No no no
no no no no no, do you Miles?

Speaker 3 (43:00):
No, no no no. I'll like occasionally just be like, Okay,
what's the fuss about with this like certain franchise, Yeah,
and then I'm like it just personality wise, I'm I
think I'm just naturally an anxious person, So it's not
entertainment for me to be like caught in like a
fight or flight sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Liking for fun the same with me, not even slightly. Also,
I live alone and I often pop a five million
gummy to sleep at night, so you can imagine the
combination I'm not trying to combine with yeah, I'll crying
out for the Lord, you know.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Yeah, I think that's part of it. I think the
like deep Christian roots of America is part of like
why people are so upset. Like, yeah, I kind of
view horror movies more anthropologically than anything where I'm just like,
it's so interesting what people are so into.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
I will say that one anthropological conclusion I have come
to is that all my sober friends, because you know,
for the the rest of you civilians out there, a
lot of comedians have extreme alcohol and drug problems. It
had to become sober. So many many of my friends
are sober, and they all love horror movies because it

(44:13):
gives them like an adrenaline rash. Oh interesting, they all
they all go to the movies and like watch them
all these like sober comedians. They get like a throw
from it. They really like it.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
I really, once I got sober, I started really liking
roller coasters again, really like fuck, this is grow really Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I liked them when I was a kid, and then
I was like, man, this is so fun.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Right.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
But so the Conjuring franchise I think is interesting. I
think it has two of the like key ingredients for
a horror movie to like do really well in America.
One is that it has like some claim like the
Blair Witch thing, where it has like some claim to reality.
And these are like based as well, you know, talk

(44:59):
about it. Second, heavy quotes based on a true story,
but they and then there's also a haunted doll, which
I think we're obsessed with. Creepy annabel is the is
the source is the demon center of the Conjuring universe.
Like when I say that to people who are Conjuring
fans are like, well, I mean yeah, kind of.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
But I never seen any of the Conjuring franchise. But
I will say, uh, animal annabel isn't coming up a
lot of my TikTok on witch Talk, Okay.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
A lot of rumblings about the outside of her mouth,
outside of her mouth like why call me a hay seed? Wait?

Speaker 3 (45:46):
What do you wait? And what context is Annabelle? You
said on Witch Talk?

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Well, I always do reveal so much about myself.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Fine, I mean I saw an article about someone was
paying Etsy witches to put a curse on the president.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
But really, oh yeah, I think that's like a really
popular thing. It's part of the girlhood now. But I
I just saw rumblings about it there because you know,
I have been in a medium pace since my dearly
departed brother. I've been really seeing the mediums lately, trying
to get a convo in and uh so I'm on

(46:21):
medium TikTok, you know, which bleeds into witch TikTok. And
you know, there's a lot of fright, a lot of
hullabaloo going on about Annabel right now, prior even to
the movie.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Coming out, in the sense that they're like, she's this
dollar is a bona fide conduit to the demon world
or something.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
No, there was, well, yes, there was a guy like
taking Annabel around the country died and then all of
a sudden he died. And then I won't even bring
up Matt Rice like buying the house, and then they're
all worried, like all the mediums and witches are saying
that because he wants to turn it into like Airbnb,
and all the witches are like, no, no, you can't

(46:57):
do that. Like they were the couple that lived there,
trying to contain the evil inside the house, and now
it's going to be let out.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Oh it is the couple that own that. Oh that's
like Edi Laurin.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Right, yeah, right, let's let's get into them. So first
of all, I do just want to say they So
the movie came out. It made one hundred and ninety
four million dollars worldwide in the first weekend, which broke
the record for a horror movie opening set by It
in twenty seventeen. That also doesn't include the forty five
dollars popcorn buckets shaped like Annabelle the Cursed Stone, Like

(47:33):
Annabel's sitting with like a.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Yeah, I don't want that.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
I don't want that.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
You don't want that.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
No, But it just really do.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Feel like that, just how Annabel's sitting directly across from
this whole recording.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
But that insane like box office money and success I
really speak to, like how people just want to feel
any other horror besides what's happening right now. You know,
that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
It's like a different horror. It's a different horror. Bone Yeah,
but yeah, So the Warrens are not great. The people
who the movie is based on. They're played by Vera
Farmiga and Patrick something or other Patrick Wilson and yeah,
Vera Farmiga and the real couple were basically con artists. Yeah,

(48:25):
this movie opens with based on a true story, in
this case the Warrens final case, which involved the Smurle family. Huh,
Who's West Pittston, Pennsylvania duplex duplex is Like, I feel
like that fucks up the haunted house.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
It's a haunted duplex. The unit next door is haunted,
but this part of the duplex is actually completely spirit.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
They chose only one of the units of the duplex.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
But this spirit isn't that powerful. I can't haunt a
fucking whole duplex. Yeah, it was the unit of it.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Well, it's interesting you mentioned that because the spirit has
some very specific preferences, and I think the spirit is
unionized because yeah, so it only is haunting, like I
guess one part of the duplex, and what it would
do is like kind of very specific lights on and off,
stole items from them. According to Jack Smirle, he was

(49:19):
sexually assaulted in the night and by the by the
by the spirit and Ed Warren.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
That really sucks. It's hard enough. It's hard enough to
get what human one of those fuckers in jail trying.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
To get just from a gum exactly a you're fucked Jesus.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Ed Warren said it was a suckubyst but that that
did that. But before the Warrens got involved, the Smirls
had reached out to the Catholic Church, as one does
when they're facing this problem. Who found nothing wrong with
the house, which, like the Catholic Church is not like
they'll they'll do an extra to them more. Yeah, yeah,
we spent two nights in the house and nothing unusual happened.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
They performed three exorcisms just like I didn't even know
they did precautionary exorcisms where they're.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Another one like I already did two. Okay for the Trinity.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Maybe. The Smirls argued that the demons ducked out during
the exorcistem fuck you ducked out.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
This is the problem with this ship not being real science,
because the rules to ghost hauntings are just too fucking malleable.
Like yeah, they're like, oh yeah, man, the ghost are
fucking around here, bro, and like I haven't seen anything,
like well, you know, they just they fucked off while
you were here because they knew they didn't want to
get caught.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Dude. Actually, so they did say that the ghosts actually
avoided the exorcisms by traveling back and forth between the
double block home so they would sit at the other unit.
They were using the duplex aspect of it. They were
even and this is kind of weird, they were visited
by the actor who played a priest in the Exorcist,
so not an exorcist, but an actor who played a

(51:03):
priest in the Exorcist. He was also like, I look man,
like I go to cons for like a living like this,
and even I don't believe this.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
I met you at that horror fan fest a few
weeks ago. I mean it must be. I wonder too,
because work's kind of slow. They're like, yeah, bro, sometimes
you just gotta go where the money's at.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Yeah. Absolutely, I don't. I don't blame him. I respect
his the fact that he showed up and was like, yeah,
you guys, sit deuces. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
I don't. I don't even want to laugh and say
this shit's not real because I feel the same way
about ghosts as I do aliens. It's like, it's not
that I believe in them, but I don't not believe
in them. Yeah, you know, like I don't know for
sure that they're not.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Like rationally logically in the cold light of day, I'm like,
this is stupid. And then like if I'm like talking
about ghosts and a light flickers, I will run so
fast out of that room, like you know, it's just
uh Like you saw Hot Sauce Cross somebody up on
the Animal mixtape tour, Yeah, yeah, I do it, like
like I just saw somebody.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
I'm not going there without my Hot Cross bun.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
There you go, keep you protected, one of the I
guess that's the thing. One mixtape moves the culturally in
Japan very ghost posi ghost positive culture in Japan. Yeah,
And I'm just one of those people like I need
the empirical evidence in front of me, like I need
to get haunted for me to be like, oh yeah,
because I had one of my aunts she's she's like

(52:35):
she talked about being fucking visited and ship all the time.
And I'm like, but that's you, you know what I mean,
Like that's kind of your thing in the family, is
you You're really adamant about insisting about these ghosts, and like,
how come they don't visit me? Why is it my
confirmation based by a set properly?

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Ghost is like a really uh, I don't know cinematic
way of saying it. Because now that my brother died,
who I was like so so so close with and
I know like his every thought, like what he thinks
about everything, it's like sometimes I really can feel him.
I don't see a ghost or something, but it's like
there's like I do believe in spirits, and I do

(53:11):
think that as shit speeds up, like information wise and
our planet and everything, that the veil is thinning.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
A bit male like my hair.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Does your displeasure with Labu boos have anything to do
with just like any sort of do you feel? Because
that is what One of the criticisms that has been
lobbed at Laboo boos is that they're like got some
demonic influences.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Oh really, that they can be vessels for or demons.
That hasn't crossed my mind at all.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
That's also a word on the elementary school playground is
oh really yeah yeah, according to my seven year old,
that they will turn their head and like give you
a creepy look sometimes.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Whoa that's crazy, but like little kids are tapped into shit.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Yeah, I'm just saying and say, got a regular hally
Joel Osma.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Everyone's gonna think I'm literally off my goddamn rocker after
this episode. I need to get off TikTok.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
I know. I mean, I fucked with the spirit thing too,
because especially after like I've had relatives pass away a
close family there you whether or not it's your confirmation bias,
but you do see that like these things do feel
like you're being communicated with. Like my mom has this
one plant that doesn't like it doesn't it blooms like
a very specific time of year and it's like very

(54:28):
like it's at night and then it's like done. And
when my cousin passed away, like on the one year
anniversary of her of her passing, the thing like blocked
like bloomed like sort of right at the time that
she passed away, and it was fucking wild. And for me,
I'm like I feel like, to me, I'm like that
those that fields connected in some way or another, provable

(54:49):
or not.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Well.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I think when something close to you dies, you're searching
for everything to be a sign. But what I've noticed
in this short time, like the last five months, is
like there are a few times where I'm like, I
just know, like it's very odd feeling. It's not even
like logical, there's no logic to it. But you're like, oh, whoa,
that was you, you know. And then other times you're like, oh,

(55:12):
is that butterfly you? I hope it's you, you know?

Speaker 1 (55:16):
All right? Back to the Smurls, Oh sorry, yes, because
so they've got a problem. Their name looks way too
much like the Smurfs. It's really hard to keep reading
it and not reference that fact. But they'd gone to everyone.
They went to an exorcist who's like, uh huh, yeah, no,
I did three exorcisms, there's nothing here. I went to

(55:37):
an actor who played an exorcist and he was like,
I also don't believe you. And then he went to
the Warrens and they were like ooh yeah. So apparently
what they would do is they would like show up
to people's hauntings and get them to like sign the
movie rights, like get them to sign the rights of
their story over to them, and then that's this entire

(56:01):
movie franchise. So they showed up and they said yum yum, yum, yum. Gimme, gimme,
gim me, and Ed claimed that the demon threw him
back ten feet. Oh yeah, mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
And that's why you got to sign the rights to
your story over to me, because I understand what's going on.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Wait, so the Warrens are the like create the genesis
of this series.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Yeah, so they would go I never knew that they
go to a haunted They're also the Amityville Horror, which
it's now been shown that the Amityville Horror, like, the
whole story was like concocted over glasses of wine, like
when as they were like trying, Like the people who
came up with a story with them in the first

(56:44):
place were like, yeah, we were drunk and liked it
as a bit like but that's are anyways. The Warrens
then profited from the story, co authoring a successful book
on the Haunting with the Smirls and a Reporter, which
was later turned into a Fox TV movie. And then
now they just have this massive movie franchise. M They're

(57:07):
supposed to be coming to an end, but people have
their doubts because it ends with them being like and
we're going to give it, like put pass this on
to the next generation of investigators, and it like turns
to their kids who are like famous actors who've been
there the whole time. Yeah, the Amityville horror case, which
was later revealed to have been invented by the house's

(57:27):
owners over several bottles of wine. That was also what happened.
They showed up over several bottles of wine. Yeah, so
the house owners were like, got drunk, were like this,
maybe we can't sell this house. Maybe we pretend like
make it a like a big deal by claiming it's haunted.
Got so drunk that that seemed like a good idea.
And then like the Warrens showed up and we're like, okay,

(57:50):
just sell the rights over to us. We have this
publicity machine, and the rest is history.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
I wonder if is the new the next generation that
lady from that Nathan for you sketch Sue who was
the ghost realtor.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Yeah, that's right, you know.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Horror author Grady Hendrix pointed out that so many of
the Warren's cases in both people who were in genuine
distress but sought the help of people who have no
training and no clinical background, who show up, tell you
it's a dmon and walk away with book and movie
contracts because like, like this isn't gonna be shocking. But
Jack's Merle was believed to have been like delusional and

(58:32):
like had to have surgery to remove water from his
brain in nineteen eighty three, like right after this happened.
So Jesus oh, because he had meningitis. It looks wow. Yeah,
he had a lot going on mentally, and they came
through and were like how.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
Do we we just basically yes and people in distress
and then get the movie rights to their story.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
That's right?

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Oh yeah yeah, it definitely a place to send me
back ten feet brother, sign this, sign this.

Speaker 1 (58:57):

in the day. He produced a lot of his beats,
I think most of them. Actually just put out a
new track called Honestly, I Haven't Danced in Decades is
what it's called. And it's like the it's a it's
a cool. It's like a five minute track and like

(01:04:10):
the vibes of it shift throughout it and it feels,
I don't know, like the title just feels like it's

is giving. So this is Honestly I Haven't Danced in
Decades by Blockhead.
