Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet. Am welcome to Season two thirteen, Episode
five of introduction of I Heart Radio. Hey, this is
a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's
share consciens. It's Friday, December three, National Bartender Day. I
don't even need to talk to you guys about that,

(00:20):
but we know it. We love it. I don't know
what what what do we do on National Bartender Dad?
Just like tip extra well? Yeah, probably you know it
says tip. It's a showing bartender appreciation. Tip them extra well.
Be the designated driver for your group, except the taxi
when it's offered. Make their job a little bit easier.

(00:40):
I like that they put in there, except the taxi
when it's offered. Yo. Wait, so we're putting bartenders in
charge of preventing drunk driving death sadly because then they
can come back to you for overserving somebody. You know,
I've worked in that sphere before. Yeah, Like, it's wild
people they take that ship like it's almost worsed in
calling a white person in racist. It's on a drunk

(01:01):
person they need a taxi. Like, yeah, I've had I've
had friends whose reaction to me telling them they can't
drive drunk was similar to that dude who got elbowed
by Lebron James and just like I had to be
held back by like six people like then would pretend

(01:24):
he like had we had talked sense into him, and
then like do a head fake and then run for
the car. So the best move, though, you do to
avoid that is you just take their keys, because they're
so drunk they don't know. You just hide them ships
and then you and be like, yo, you must have
misplaced them ship man to keep playing my keys. You're like, bro,

(01:45):
just chill, we'll find in the morning. And then you
put that ship in their jacket pocket when they wake
up and they're like, oh, they're all, oh, play of
life all right? Well, hey, my name is Jack O'Brien
a K. I got Brian on it all these sides
and no turkey. I got Brian on it. Lemon time

(02:06):
and Rosemary. I got Brian on it. Salty pink but
still tasty. I got Brian on it. I just saved
our Thanksgiving. That is courtesy of Warren the wear Bear,
really just giving giving me the perfect song and company
meant to the video. You know, it's about its feature

(02:30):
length video of my preparation of the Thanksgiving turkey that
I'm making for our family dramatic, a lot of recreations
of people saying I couldn't do it, really hero. The
word hero wasn't thrown around enough when I was making
the turkey, but it will be in in this film
that I'm making. Anyways, Thank you Warren, and I'm thrilled

(02:51):
to be joined as always by my co host, Mr
Miles Grass. Supreme Courts are fucking dumpster fun inflation, nipping
at your toes. You'll tide, Karen's threading, hete man. It's
dark plus white folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows

(03:19):
that ship is racist as fuck. Okay, here shut on
the discord, hitting us with that nat king call Christmas
song tweak of an a K. I just want to say,
I like, I know you. You wrote a very long
a K. I just like at the very end of
this joke that you put and so I'm offering this

(03:40):
simple phrase two kids from one to ninety two, although
it's been sad many times, many ways, if you're ninety three,
fuck you love me? Chef's hell you kiss? That's beautiful,

(04:02):
what well done, well executed, vocals. I gotta say five
stars out of five stars all around. What what a
joke at the end there. Well, we are thrilled to
be joined in our third seat, Miles by a very
talented comedian and writer who you know from her podcast
What's your Favorite Taylor Swift Song? Please welcome the hilarious
and talented Ellie Mackam. Thank you. It is to be here.

(04:30):
I've wanted to do it for years, I know, and
your and your work always kept you away, and we
found the time to get you on full full transparency.
Ellie and I we go way back seven years back
from when we worked on YouTube Nation back in the day.
And then you went to college with her, majesty, Yeah,

(04:53):
besties with her majesty got jealous and then yeah, and
look at you now. It's it's great to have you one.
It's great to have you. Yeah, it's really fun. Like so,
I just you said you might know her from her podcast.
Absolutely not. It just launched. But it's oh, thank you.
I'm trying to tap into that swifty market. I'm a

(05:14):
swifty It's called It's your Favorite Taylor Swift sung? But
I just this is the first time in my life
that I've gone out on my own and I'm working freelance.
I'm doing some weird jobs and it's so fun. I
love it. Podcasting is fun. It is, especially when you
get to talk about it that you like, we're getting
good reviews from people who are doing that. Yeah, yeah,

(05:36):
And like, what more do I want to talk about
than Taylor Swift? Almost nothing else? Just I mean Harry
Styles maybe. Yeah. Actually, I have a I have a
wide range of like passions, and I did. I just
saved the ats on social media for so the on
social media for my podcast. It's w y F T

(05:58):
s S or variations on h I did save the
odds for w y F h S S in case
I every want to expand when you want to get
Harry with it? Okay, I mean I'm seeing people already
having what's your favorite Taylor Swift song as their number
one on Spotify? Wrapped Figs. I think it was your mom,

(06:18):
But that's pretty sure I got. I got two d
m from from fans of the show said that it
made their top five. I don't know if you like
hardcore podcast listeners though, but I think at the end
of the day, like you know, you're talking about something
you are. You're like, like, you know, fucking Taylor, Like

(06:39):
I don't know, ship. I gotta ask you on my
what's the album? What's this new stuff going on? And
then you helped me understand you occasionally come through for
the for expert advice. Yeah, you know here and there
here and there for sure? Yeah, And do you reveal
what yours is? Or is it just that that's the secret.
That's the big mry of a podcast. I'll never confirm. Wow,

(07:03):
you could probably guess based on things that I say. Well,
I mean, if I'm being honest, Like Gun to my Head,
you asked me what my favorite Taylor Swift song is.
I'm going to choke you know, like I I so
many of them matter so much to me for different moods,
places times in my life. What's your favorite Taylor Swift song?
To turn up to? Gun to your head? Right now?

(07:24):
You gotta turn up to ten. It's got to get specific.
I get that feels better, like if you're gonna turn up,
if you're gonna maybe cook some dinner, if you're going
to have people over there. Even ambient Taylor's song, not really,
that's the one thing that she doesn't do is you

(07:44):
really can't just have her on in the background, like
maybe if you're like shopping at Ross dress for last
or something like that, but like she's not a background song.
Like if I'm listening to Taylor Swift, I am listening
to Taylor Swift. That's like what I'm doing, you know
what I mean? Just rubbing your chin with not No,
it's like it's like me hands on my cheeks being like,

(08:05):
uh so for those who's my eyes were just like
bugged out with my hands on my cheeks. Oh, I
saw that when you you went to the Harry show
at the Forum, right, Yeah, who was you? Says I
saw a pig. Somebody had a Google l a s
D Gang sign at the Harry Style shows, like, oh
be glitter didn't ship. Do you know who that was? Yeah?
She found me. I posted on my Instagram and she commented, shoot,

(08:29):
what's her name? I mean she was like so humble
about it. I just like she said she was carrying
it in and some girl commented like, I can't believe
that didn't get taken away, and she was like, I
hit it from the cops at the Forum, right, And
it's like done in such an aesthetic of like bright
colored construction paper that if you didn't look at it,
you'd be like, well, hold on, what that's like? Google

(08:50):
l A S D gangs shout there it is. Yeah,
this girl Katie bar or her name is Katie Barr.
Shout out Katie Barr, hottest girl at the Harry Style Show. Yeah, yeah,
shout out to re shout out knock l a um,
really important investigative work. And like I saw like teen

(09:12):
girls coming up to him being like what is that?
And so I think, um, we got some Harry Stans
finding out radicalizing some Styles fans. Okay, but I will
say that Harry Styles marched in the BLM protests last June,
and like for years there was a contingent of young
black fans of Harry Styles who were trying to push

(09:32):
him to say a word about BLM and they were
like on his case for years, way before the George
Floyd's staff. And so I also want to shout out
the section of Harry Styles fans who have been trying
to get him on this train for a long time. Alright, Yeah,
they work in they work in blessed ways sometimes, Yeah,

(09:53):
it can be a blessing. It can be a curse,
but I often find it really interesting and cool and
more often than not positive. M hmm. It's also very
smart to go after like the most motivated fan bases
on the internet and be like, hey, you might want
to google does have to do with Harry. It's like, yeah, yeah,

(10:14):
in a way all of us, yeah, sort of all encompassing,
So yeah, hey, I love it. Alright, Ali, we're going
to get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
of things we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about
the amicron Is that how we were pronouncing it? Strain

(10:37):
of the what's it called coronavirus? I think they're calling it.
So we're gonna just talk about that. Do a quick
update there. We're gonna talk about Mark Meadows. We're gonna
talk about Doctor Oz, all the greats, all the hits.
We're gonna talk about how you can now rent the
fucking McAlister home for one night on Airbnb and it
actually looks like the macalister Home on the inside, which

(11:00):
is pretty shocking. We'll talk about some conservative children's books
that we got head in our way speaking of recruiting people.
That that's the recruiting technique that the conservatives are going with.
So we'll talk about those all that plenty more. But first, Ellie,
we do like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history? Okay, I've got a bummer one

(11:23):
and I've got a fun one. Yeah, so pick your
poison bummer first off? Okay, how to become a midwife?
And then like connected to that like safety, I y abortion,
So I know we're not we're not tackling on the pond.
You guys have already been talking about it. I mean,

(11:44):
it's I mean, but it's it's very much in the
front of the consciousness of the entire one, not in
the entire country. Given effort I'm seeing from leadership don't
do anything about it. But yeah, it is, it's it's.
It is one of those things again underlying that, oh shit,
once again, I think we've been shown that we're going

(12:05):
to have to rely on each other for a significant
amount of time if this is the status quo, right,
I mean, already because of certain states that make it
really really difficult. Texas in particular, there is a lot
of really cool innovation happening with like abortion pills by
mail and stuff like that. But like I've been talking
to my friends. I've had an abortion. I have many

(12:27):
friends who've had abortions. We're talking, We're like when we're
looking at the future of this overturn, We're like, I'm
gonna uproot my life to help people with this, because
if I hadn't had an abortion, my whole Like I
went to the rally and I had a sign that
said my abortion saved my life, and my caption was like,
it's a real trolley problem for you, Like, like, if

(12:51):
I hadn't had an abortion, I don't think i'd be here,
to be honest, you know what I mean. Like, I
don't think I would have finished the pregnancy. I don't
think I would have survived it mentally, do you know
what I mean? And there's so many stories, there's so
many you know, people are putting their lives and their
trauma on the line to talk about this stuff. And
I'm just like, can't I learn how to do abortion safely?

(13:11):
Can't how can I help I feel when when it's
at the Supreme Court level, you feel so helpless And
I have an I have a brilliant uncle, shout out
Uncle Joel, who works at the d o J. And
he has been talking to me about like his like
these brilliant lawyers are are working really hard to try
and fight these abortion bands. And before it got to

(13:34):
this point, and but but he was straight up with
me like it's not looking good in terms of where
the Supreme Court is right now. And I was just like, ah, yeah,
you look at those majorities and you're like, okay, six three,
that doesn't look good at all. And then meanwhile you
have like all this like lip service being paid from
people like Susan Collins who are like I said, I

(13:57):
would make sure Brett Kavanaugh didn't get got Roe v. Wade.
And now she's like trying to be like we're gonna
try and figure something. It's like make sure, how do
you have a sex tape him on hand or something
like Yeah, because everyone I'm mad at Ruth Bader Ginsburg
for not stopping down under Obama. I'm mad at every

(14:18):
Obama for not doing for appointing somebody what the fuck?
Sorry yeah, but anyway, No, but I think that's sort
of the situation right because we're looking at something where
something that seems so common sense is being hijacked by
religious extremism of one very specific form of a religion
to then be like, Okay, now that's we're pushing that

(14:40):
on everybody. Now. Yeah, I'm seeing people talk about the filibuster.
Is that something that they could use to then push
through like pack the court? Is that basically the thinking
there if they haven't done it now, well, but this
seems like a pretty big one. It's like out of
a big one. It's it's quite literally life or death

(15:02):
for a lot of people who can have, you know,
pregnancies and also wildly unpopular what they're planning to do.
But when you have people like you know, when the
president's like, god, we gotta figure this stuff out, it's like,
why don't you fucking lead asshole? But if like, why
don't you like literally mark kicked down the Supreme Court
and be like, I mean not to say that that's

(15:23):
illegally possible, but like show some energy here and if
that's true, if you if you really wanted to codify
a row into law, then start saying those words out
loud and how that needs to happen, because that's where
right now I think there's a big messaging gap or
just a lack of enthusiasm. I think a lot of
people are left to sort of understand, like what what's

(15:44):
going to be the final well elected politicians hate um,
you know, writing for abortion rights, and I get it,
Like on a numbers basis, I get that that is
so divisive or whatever, but like six people, you know
what I mean, but that number changes in different regions.
I get that. Whatever, But it's like, just show up

(16:05):
for abortion rights just such a fundamental anyway. So that's
the bummer one. Do you want to hear the fun one?
Uh my, my literal at last Google search was one
exactly the Taylor Stift right. I knew you were trouble,
Like I was trying to find it and like all
of the all of the journalism about it, and there
is journalism about it. L A. Times was like Taylor

(16:28):
stiff says, I knew you were trouble. Was about Harry Styles,
and I'm like, that's not true. This is surface level reporting.
Let's crack into it. Google gave me nothing, and then
I asked the fans like I just went to Twitter
and I was like, can anyone give me dates on
when she might have actually sat down with Max Martin
and shell Back and right, I knew your trouble and

(16:48):
I get linked this insane Google doc that has all
of the chronological timeline of like when she was writing,
what pictures of her going into and leaving studios with
certain preser everything. It's psycho when she's like twelve and
she was first putting out demos and according to that,

(17:08):
she wrote it in like January of two thousand twelve,
and she didn't meet Harry Styles until um like March
of two thousand twelve, So it's not about him, and
that's important to me of course. Yeah, that's that's an
intersection of your fandoms right there that you had to
to the bottom of. I get that. So who was
she dating at that time? Do you know? Well, this

(17:30):
is like directly after the Jake Jillenhall relationship. But I
do think that song is about John Mayer because it
has the element of feeling like you've been through it
and you processed it. She has a line that's like
and I can see now the blame is on me,
and she never says that, m but that's on my
episode that was released this week. Because I knew your

(17:51):
trouble with guest pap Uto, who is my ex BOYFRIENDO
saucy stuffy stuff, So I get it more the I
knew you were troubled vibe from John Mayer, right, do
you see that guy? Like she was getting warned about him,
her mom was saying, don't do it, and then she yeah,
Jessica Simpsons like shaking your head like no, nor the

(18:18):
run and never looked back a career like mine. Go Airbud,
go get out of here. But on that um, I
think he just like lets him off leash and tells
him to run away at the typical come on get Yeah.

(18:39):
I can't quit you Air. But what is something you
think is overrated? Okay? I know you guys have mentioned
you you talked about it on this week, but Spotify
wrapped Okay. I I was of two minds. It's either
overrated or perfectly right it depending on what your timeline like.

(19:00):
I think it's fun and I was thinking it was
really fun, except I have some questions about my numbers.
I think some of the data is off. It was
Lord was in my top five and I love Lord
and I love Lord's back kindog, but I hated the
new album, so I was like actively not streaming her
this year and she was like my number three, allegedly

(19:21):
my number three most streamed artists, and that just doesn't
feel right to me. Are there playlists? Maybe it was
coming on passively, like you weren't intending to play it,
but you're just rocking with some playlists and it was
on there. I don't know, Yeah, I mean I do
listen to melodrama a lot, so it's but I don't know.
And then I found out that there's this intern, this
girl who used to intern at Spotify. Her name is Juel,

(19:44):
who tweeted and she was like me watching the Spotify
rap knowing that I pitched this as an intern, and
I'm getting like seven from and it's like it's just classic,
and she's really cool about it. She's like, I get it.
I'm not trying to litigate this or anything like that.
But when there's my pitch deck, and if you look
at her pitch deck, it is it looks exactly like

(20:04):
how all the slides look for the New Interact Spotified rap,
because she pitched it when they did Spotify rap where
it was just a link get like a list or whatever,
and this pitch deck is like this incredible like just
exactly the genius brain thing a twenty two year old
would who's super fluent with social media would come up with,

(20:26):
and you know, Spotify as a statement, that's like, we
get a lot of ideas from you know, we hear
a lot of ideas a lot of the time. And
Joel's okay, she's like presenting at art Basil this weekend
or something like that. Yeah, she's cool, she's she's doing it.
But it's still like the whole ethics of internships and whatever. Yeah,

(20:47):
and apologies for everyone because I'm spamming the fucking timeline
with retweets. Well, I think I do think it's nice.
I do really like that they have the podcast section
because I really like using Spotify for podcasts more than
Apple podcasts. Always thought that was like annoying, and making
podcast big on Spotify is good. And this year everyone

(21:09):
tigging their favorite creators and stuff. It rules. I think
that's nice. That's not overrated. But I wish I had
I just use the iHeart Radio app, so I don't
really get those metrics, but I think it's coming down
the road. I think eventually, right is that you just
like being I Heart Radio good company? Boy or no,
it's just the best. And I Heart Radio is number

(21:30):
one for audio, so it's pretty obvious. I love that. Yeah,
I loved Wherever get your podcast? I don't know, no, no, actually,
I'm just kidding. I doubt Yeah, okay, I'm wanted to
iHeart Radio app. Oh you thought you know? I was
kidding because yeah, of course we all use the heart

(21:52):
radio seeing your podcast come up on that heart Radio
app anymore? Really, although if you want Taylor's a podcasts,
what is something you think is underrated? Okay? Fancy nails.
I got my first gelact extensions and I'm different now,

(22:13):
I'm a new person. And I always thought that like
acrylics were more trouble than they were worth. It was
like you can't pick things up or whatever. This this
seems hard and then they're expensive and whatever. But there's
new technology and nails, so this is sort of like
a step down from acrylics, but a step up from

(22:34):
just your normal noil. And it was so easy and
it's been so fun. I mean, I was sending sending
off some clunky texts in the first hour or two,
but I'm adapting and I feel like, like, look at
who is you keep bringing them into a frame, and
I'm like, okay, stunter like stunner s Thompson over here. Yeah,
I feel I feel amazing, Like I feel like I

(22:55):
walk with better posture. Now. Yeah, there's some think you
your nails do feel like very like that shade have read.
There's it's it's it's making you feel like an authority,
an authority on something. Yeah, thank you, and like, you know,
like women, you know, people who really like take care
of themselves and do all that high maintenance stuff of nails, hair, hair, dead,

(23:19):
nails dead, etcetera. Like that drags on. It's like it's
like I get it, Like I don't normally go super
high fun with stuff but because I'm just lazy. But
I got this done and I feel better and I
feel like I'm more more. Yeah, go go and nab

(23:39):
you a billionaire who's on their deathbed. Yeah, so passively
going out on a date with a mail ballerina tomorrow?
Is that called a ballerino? Ballerino, that's what he said. Okay, yeah,
somehow sounds way more Italian that way, right, Ballerino. I

(24:00):
think he's from Jersey, but yeah, yeah, do tell ballerino. Yeah, alright, well, yeah,
your your extent, she's look great. And I agree there
that that seems to have been a huge breakthrough that
I don't see mentioned like in the zeitgeist a lot.

(24:22):
But yeah, talks about the gel X is like a
constant point of like these these are great. Uh, these
make your nails a little bit brittle, but they're fucking awesome.
Just yeah, it's it's big, it's huge. Yeah. I mean,
we're not like hunting and scavenging for our food anymore.
Like I don't need my nails, right exactly, that's right.

(24:46):
And these days I opened a beer with a with
a car key. Yeah, I did try to open a
pop Canada didn't go. Well, oh yeah, see that's what
you might need, that little you know, adapter or something
that bartime. Yeah, go find a bartender national bar. Please,

(25:07):
I'll get a tax if you ask me to. All Right,
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
back and talk. I'm acron and we're back, and yeah,

(25:31):
it just seems like the main thing people are talking about,
other than the impending loss of reproductive rights in America
is the I'm a cron of variety variety of coronavirus, which, yeah,
I just like I've heard people say various things that
are panic inducing. So I just wanted to like do

(25:52):
a quick quick run through of what we know and
what we we don't know, which is a favorite catchphrase,
virus Trump election season is in that mud just don't know.
Oh yeah, that's what it was, and that was not
great news. That turned out it was sundowning Batman's diary.

(26:17):
You're like, oh no, this is not good. That's why
I in the thing about like conservative books that will
maybe get too later, I was writing that I feel
like that whole thing about like RBG is my Queen
and like all the like culture stuff from the Trump
like this sort of lib culture stuff from the Trump

(26:41):
administration like now feels like wild dated, and the Mueller
thing probably the most dated, being like Mueller is fucking
Batman dog, Mueller is. Mueller is like so hot, I
would fucking Limb banonizations are just peak cringe though, Like

(27:02):
it's like that is not it full and you're further
underslining why you don't. Okay, anyway, Yeah, I just don't. Yeah,
I don't think we should have crushes on any of
our elected officials or people who headed up the FBI. Yeah, great,
but he looks like my grandpa when he started talking.
That was one of the wildest Who me, what you're

(27:28):
supposed to be like? You got muller like talk like
a fucking nineteen fifties like film noir bracket coum shoe. Yeah,
look what I got wasn't a whole lot of malarkey.
He was a fucking he was an old prospector instead.
All right, Uh so we don't know about amicron. We
don't The one thing we know about a macron based

(27:48):
on structure, it seems more likely to be contagious because
it's got and I'm gonna quote from multiple articles. I
saw more viral grappling hooks cool out of for in
multiple places, so let's go with it. But yeah, it
seems to be spreading pretty rapidly in South Africa, which
is why people are panicking. But there are some pretty

(28:10):
big unknowns that I feel like should give us I guess,
not necessarily hope, but at least like patients like pump
the brakes before you decide to panic. Mhmm. So what
one thing that we've talked about from the beginning of this,
and it doesn't seem like it's come to bear thus
far in this pandemic. But many viruses, as they mutate

(28:32):
get more contagious but less deadly, with the idea being
that the more deadly or dangerous the like variant or
the mutation, the more likely the viruses to like you know,
kill the host quickly, knock them down so they can't
leave their house and spread it. Like Ebola is the

(28:53):
best example of this. Super deadly to the point that
pete it would kill people very quickly and they wouldn't
be able to kind of pass it on. And it
was also pretty evident, like nobody was just like going
to work with a yeah, yeah. But and then the
sort of alternate side of this is the cold virus,

(29:15):
which you know doesn't really kill many people or really
knock you down so hard that you stay home from work,
your school, so you've just got a lot of carriers
out and about and sneezing on people and things. And
so that is why it's like just been with us
and is the most omnipresent virus. So some people are

(29:37):
thinking slash hoping that's what's happening here. And one kind
of detail that I found that made me slightly hopeful
is that they so one thing they're doing is testing
the wastewater in South Africa, which is gross, but it's
a good way of finding out like just how much
of this virus is in the population, and it's fucking everywhere,

(30:01):
Like it's really like they were shocked by how widespread
it is. But we're not seeing a lot of people
reporting like being sick with it, which you know, could
be that it's just a lagging indicator like that they
just haven't developed symptoms yet, or it could be that
it's a milder disease and that even though it's everywhere,

(30:22):
only like not that many people are actually getting sick
and going to the hospital. We also don't know if,
like previous vaccines, like how well they're going to work
on it. But you know, I think the big unavoidable
factor that should give us hope, or or would give
us hope if we lived in a more like just
global society, is that we have vaccines that are vaccine

(30:45):
technology to create vaccines that adapt to new variants, and
we now have medication to treat people who have already
caught the disease and you know, are sick with the
disease like and they're in pilform and not shots which
have seems like that should make it much easier to distribute.
So I think just the main the main takeaway for

(31:06):
me as right now is we need to get our
governments incorporate overlords to let people have those tools. Because
we have the tools to fight this no matter what.
It's just a matter of like we don't have the
people in power who are willing to use those tools. Well,
I mean, I think it's it's there's yeah, there's plenty

(31:28):
of the pump the brakes on the panic. I think
that's what even like the White House was just saying
for the very similar thing. It's like we're watching it,
you know. I think that the White House is just
now recommending that they're trying to get rapid tests for
people as quickly as possible and have insurance cover that,
because yeah, I mean, I think that's also been a
just part of the strategy in this country that's been lagging,

(31:49):
like epically that getting a test or having an at
home test is like if you go on stock ax
to fucking buy one because they're so rare at the moment,
or you gotta go to like a clinic and like
take a huge chunk out of your day or time
out of your day to do that. So yeah, you know,
I'm just I'm just waiting, waiting and hoping for the
best and just waiting and hoping. I don't want to

(32:11):
don't want to jump to conclusions quite yet. Yeah, I
will say that, like, it seems like we have the
tools to handle this. But O macron does sound like
the big boss, like at the end of a video game, Like,
it sounds scary. They gave it to cool a name,
Like who decides on these names? It feels like they
should there should be a little bit more market research

(32:33):
into how scary that sounds. Or maybe people do need
to be scared, or maybe they don't. I don't know.
But yeah, they went from the Greek alphabet. Yeah, they
skipped a letter though, so it was like beta, which
we were like, this ain't ship. We can take this
motherfucker down. I'll steal your girl. Yeah, But then they

(32:56):
skipped to a macron because they were like, oh, that's
sounds like a villain from a Transformers. We're not gonna
do excelon I guess right. Yeah, Well, they they skipped
new because they didn't want people to get confused by
being like the new variant, right, and then then the
next one would have been x I, which they would
have been like conflating that with like she and China.

(33:20):
So they're like, Okay, let's go to because it's the
other two are just going to confuse the funk out
of people and give people too much weird ship to
like Rhetorically, at worst, this sounds like a villain in
like the Transformers movie or something. So it's definitely a Pokemon,
like you know, evolved Pokemon. Yeah, yeah, I got a
bunch of like boulders on his shoulders. Yeah yeah, just

(33:44):
spike proteins, you know what I mean, grappling hooks if
grappling hugs. Yeah, we did want to just shoot down
real quick. Any hope anybody had that Mark Meadows was
gonna be any sort of help in anything, because we
talked about how his books coming out that reveals that
Trump tested positive for COVID before like meeting with a

(34:04):
bunch of old star families, Like basically just he endangered
a bunch of people's lives. The media was like, whoa,
that's a that's a big bomb drop. And then he
just walked his ass out onto news Max too. Uh,
you know, clear up exactly what he meant. But this
pretty straightforward. It seems like a book should give you

(34:24):
enough time to make it pretty clear what happened. But
what do we hear him from? Mark? Now? I mean, look, yeah,
Trump got angry. And when when you see someone just
jump to Newsmax, oh boy, it means that maybe somebody's
got some splaining to do. Any In this case, it
was indeed Mark Meadows who just said, oh that book
that said he was sick. Okay, let me clear that up.

(34:45):
The Meadows, the author of The Chief's Chief, joins us
now to talk more about that. You've been a popular
guy in the last week or so. Market's good to see.
I want to start off with the COVID story. The
media is going nuts with the story. I believe the
President says it's fake news. What is the story here? Well,
the President's right, it's fake news. Uh if you if
you actually read the book context of it, Uh, that

(35:09):
story outlined a false positive. Uh literally had had a test,
had two other tests after that that showed that, uh,
he didn't have COVID during the debate. Uh. And yet
uh you know the way that let me just stop
you there, Mark, Yeah, it was a false positive. Yeah,

(35:29):
Like many people confirmed his accounting of it, and like
the way he was saying, like, hey, they're ignoring there.
There were also that he had had a negative test,
but the media wasn't ignoring that at all. They they've
laid everything out there. It's not And also he eventually
did test positive immediately after the debate, and a lot

(35:51):
of people at the time we're like, wait, when did
he first find out that he had a positive test,
So like there were already signs that y'all were lying
at the time and that you knew what you were
doing was not what you should have been doing. And
in his book, doesn't he say like he or no,
I think it was people like found pictures of him

(36:13):
addressing people and he like has this of Trump addressing
people and Mark Meadows like has his head in his hands.
He's like, fuck, but I'm the President's right. My book
is false, so don't buy it. But you're right, it is.
It is fake news. You can't trust these jokers as
far as you can throw Wait, you're the author of

(36:36):
the book, right, right, Don't don't trust me. Don't trust me.
I'm an untrustworthy source, so please, I'm a stupid fucking idiot. No,
And here's the thing. The President is right, I'm an
ignorant little asshole. So yeah, I'm a dumb dumb cock.

(36:56):
But dumb fucking cock' must way, boy, I'm the furthest
thing from base. You know, it would have been great
if he was clearly reading from like a list of
things that the President told him to say about himself
because he was doing. But I just wish it was
a little clear. I have a glass job. Probably, I
bet I couldn't. I probably couldn't take a punch in

(37:17):
a fight. I'll probably go down real easy. Uh. They
don't have a term for me because micro penis does
not cut, its actually inside my body. It's just yeah,
he again, like you're saying jack, Like if this is
what this guy is doing after he went for his
cash grab, I mean book to try and make a
little bit of money, that he would just about face

(37:39):
and go out there and be like, yeah, that's a
that's all aligne. What is that truly? Like? What does
that mean? When he has to go to the January
six Principles office up on Capitol Hill, to go give
testimony to that committee. I don't know, I'm not sure
what he's going to say. Like I guess in the
most terribly optimistic sense, it's that he's trying to like

(38:00):
walk up the line up until the last moment where
he's like, I just got to get to that point.
Then I'll be the hero at the at the January
sixth thing, I'll get my name back and then I
can be off this. But this does not this, this
does not look like that's even close to what's happening here.
I'd love to see him give himself a Trump nickname
like that Trump, like narc Meadows or something. Oh yeah, wow,

(38:24):
what are these like Trump guys like when they say
they want like public they want to be back in
the public good graces, or they that they're making moves
to do so, like but like, dude, like do they
do they really care about that? I don't know. It's
so strange to me all of these like moves to
be considered. No, actually I thought Trump was bad. But

(38:44):
like all your buddies don't rehab. I mean, it all
depends on how you know. You see it in many
different ways. Like people get that if you're not big enough.
Like a lot of former staffers are like, shit, I
can't get a job sucking anywhere in d C. Right, Okay, Okay,
I was. I was wondering, I have so little context
for like sort of the d C how things work.

(39:05):
You would think that they would be pretty numbed to
the idea of the way people crisscross those lines. But
I guess Trump sort of changed everything. I mean, I think,
but most but the higher profile people aren't having trouble
at all. That's for sure. They can keep drifting on
the proximity to Trump, you know, for a while, it seems,
I mean, speaking of moves, you'd understand his rehab strategy

(39:28):
if you saw his Dancing with the Stars audition tape.
Mark Meadows has puts it honey in his hips now
not yet, but that's going to uh when it comes
out doing the Lombada. Mark Meadows like, wait, wait is
this a bit? That's the direction Spicer one? So okay,

(39:50):
Well that's that's why I was. I was like, I
was like, wait, I heard about that, but that wasn't him. Okay, sorry, idiot,
I'm a dump cock. Oh man, I really hope Trump
starts writing his his appearance for him. I just love
the idea that it is faith news. You'd have to

(40:11):
cell phone like that on script. Yeah, script, go read it,
your little fucking puppet cut. So your book is saying
that he was reckless after testing positive. Who you're talking about?
Narc meadows? That guy's a fucking loser. What meadows? What
was that? Yeah? Then the third person, that guy's a

(40:33):
fucking loser. Man. I bet his wife che'ts on him
all the time with guys with bigger biceps than him,
guys with Christmas Hams for biceps. It's probably what she's in.
Do not me? They call me a noodle arms mark. Anyway,
what's your next question? The book comes out on two
weeks bookstores everywhere, December four, just sweating bullets. Just but yeah,

(40:59):
you've any people like that, But that's what happens. You
go and you want to step to Trump like and
be in proximity. You you basically give the keys up
to your dignity at that point. So yeah, you know
it's it's but it's a it's a patterns part. If
you're way too many people are willing to engage it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come

(41:20):
back and talk about the Home Alone House. And we're
back and we've covered this a couple of times. When
Airbnb they're just nailing it in terms of, you know,

(41:40):
hitting the sweet spot for getting onto the daily zeitgeist. Yeah,
so yeah, they know how to get miles attention. So
so yeah, I first started Fresh Prince of bel Air House,
I was like, Okay, I even though I don't know
much about the interior, I love that show and the

(42:01):
idea to sleep in that appealed to me. Then there
was the Outcast Dungeon House where you could go and
see where like a lot of early outcast things are recorded,
and you're like, oh this, okay, that's freaking cool too.
And now we're now they're doing it with as we
mentioned already, the macalister home from Home Alone, and yes
it's the fucking house from the first movie. And like

(42:22):
they even have that little fucking brass like messenger guy
like statue that was at the front of the of
the Knocked Over. Yeah, that ship is there. And so
you know, like with all these it's really not about
like a money making thing. It's typically just like create
buzz because I'm just like a new Home Alone movie
coming out, because it's only like twenty five dollars for
a night, and it's like four people can stay there,

(42:45):
and yeah, the proceeds go to a local children's hospital
in Chicago. They should charge I know it's gonna say,
like twenty five bucks a night. You're only doing this
for like a week, super eight. Yeah seriously, and then
being like okay, and here's our here's our gift to
the children's hospital, a whopping four hundred dollars. You're like, okay, hey,

(43:09):
that's like half an X ray. I guess, yeah, okay,
Like we can't even get a kid of one ivy
bag with this. But big deal here for me is
that the interior actually looks like the Home Alone into
that and yeah, I guess they shot it. They did
the exterior in the interior match which is almost never

(43:30):
the case like in any famous like movie or TV
home right, Yeah, like, which is wild, I mean exactly
so most of the time. And with within our document,
our other writer J M McNabb was just like, you know,
I just got to point out that this house didn't act.
They didn't actually film everything inside this house. They built

(43:50):
a fucking like a two story set inside of a
high school gym because they couldn't fit all the crew
and stuff to shoot in the house. However, as I'm
looking at these pictures and Jack was in a pature
just like, no, that's the fucking staircase from the movie,
like the kitchen is the staircase, and a further review,
they did both exactly, so this place gives you a
good balance like that. When I saw that staircase, I

(44:12):
was like, yeah, I could see a fucking paint can
coming straight from my stupid head right now, and I
was like loving it. But like for me, I don't
know why this is kicked off such like rabid nostalgia
fever in me, because like I want to, like I
would love to spend the whole Christmas holiday there to
like be like it's Christmas. I'm in the fucking McAlister

(44:32):
home funk with me. Okay, I'm smoking blunts in the
fucking attict. Okay, we're Spike used to hang out. But
they do let a trantula loose in the house before
you go to sleep. That they do, Yeah, they demand
that you have to do that, so that it's been
like three tank or something. They said don't trip. That
should be fine, but yeah, it's it's a really I
don't know. It's just like one of those things where

(44:54):
I feel like you could do this with a lot
of things. Like imagine if they, like you had regional
replicas of this house, I will be like, yeah, I'd
go there. I would like to stay there during the holidays,
just for a quick thing. But do you know exactly
where this my Calister House is. I don't know exactly
where it is, but I'm guessing it's nearby somewhere to

(45:17):
central Chicago. And I don't want to brag, but I
think it's really close to where I grew up, where
my childhoot home is, which is Glennelle in Illinois. Yeah,
like all the John Hughes movies were shot like in
the outside of Chicago suburbia, and so like them Callister
House and that kind of nostalgia, like also is like

(45:38):
how I grew up, Like it is like yeah, wha,
that's where my cousins. Okay, so yeah, I mean it's
it's good stuff. It's like true Americana, you know. Yeah, No,
it really is. It really is. So I don't know
why I like my heart rate my heart like, well,
you're like an l A boy, you know, yeah exactly,

(46:00):
And I think, and you know this about me. I
love the cold. I like anything not l A like
in the winter. So yeah yeah, And like I tell
you or or my other like l A friends about
my high school experience, like the captain of the football
team was dating the head cheerleader. Like it was like
there was there were like, you know, people making out

(46:20):
under bleacher. You know, it's like so classic like Johnny's
movie Home Alone Ship like that. You know, it's like
I come from that of the country, and I really
do you know, I would love to check out Cameron's
house from Ferris Bueller's because that was that was like
a very iconic house with like that wild right house

(46:44):
or something. Yeah. I think it's a park or maybe
river forest, one of the Oak Park or river Forest,
I think. But yeah, that's cool stuff. I mean there's
a lot of like wildly cool architecture. Damn nailing it
had been Rose House. I had no idea that any

(47:05):
movie ever used the interiors and like the same interior
and exterior because like I knew the Cosby Show exterior
that was supposed to be a Brownstone in Brooklyn was
actually by my apartment in the West Village, like when
I lived in New York City. But like they you know,
just used the exterior and obviously everything else was a

(47:26):
sound stage, and I just assumed movies like did the
same thing. So it's kind of cool. I don't know. Yeah, well,
so for Home on I watched the like how how
like how movies get made on Netflix or whatever? That
series made us the movies that made us, I think,
And they had an episode on a home alone, and
they did specify that they had that recreation in the

(47:49):
gym so they could do those practical effects, not like
a beautiful home they were, but they did both like
for like the normal scenes in the beginning, it was
a lot of practical flats, like I want to fight
over slices of pizza and drink a Coca cola in
that kitchen, you know what I mean exactly, just get

(48:12):
disgusting with it. But it's so weird, Like I don't
know if there's any other movie where like I'm looking
at Home and be like this is everything I did
not have his child and that's where right now. Yeah,
the I mean doing the fake party with the train
set with the cutouts on it, the Michael Jordan's cutout
would be would be fun. I kind of like you're

(48:32):
you know what you're getting at when you were like
just a big pink can just swinging down in my
big stupid head. Like if they if this was actually
like a like secretly a masochistic like S and M
thing where people could go and just get by all
the different like wet band dungeons. Yeah, alright, hear me out, Sharks,

(48:58):
hear me out. Yeah, I mean, because you've watched that movie.
Anyone of the would he's a little freak. Any one
of those, any one of those like traps that they said,
like the amount of tb I is traumatic brain injuries
that the sticky bandits or wet Bandits would have gone through.

(49:18):
You're like, he also gave me I remember as a
kid completely upside down understanding of physics and what like
the human body can actually what you can survive? Yeah yeah,
like yeah, you should be able to take a fucking
paint can being full steam at your face and you
won't bleed. Yeah. Like I remember running into like a
like a basketball like you know where the hoop the post,

(49:41):
like where the hoop is sort of secured at a park,
like in concrete, and I ran into them ships as
a kid, like busted my ship and I was like,
this is not I remember having like a memory like us. Yeah,
I remember I got um. I was a Gullian soccer
and I hit my head fully into the side the
goal post and I remember just being like, oh god,

(50:03):
this was not like the cartoon, Like I had a
bump like it was a cartoon, but it was so mad.
Didn't make that sound when it came out of your head,
damn it. I was like, where's that coming from? What?
But zeke Kang, I want to hear like you guys
pitches for fictional locations that you want Airbnb to hit next,

(50:27):
Gatica Ga. I would want to stay in the Mars
Family Veronica Mars World, their apartment. I know it's in
San Diego, but I would want to stay in at
right right exactly as it is in the TV show.
I feel like full House for some reason, even though
that's definitely not like what that place. I feel like
that happened. But now that's again that's all exteriors to like, yeah,

(50:51):
it's just exteriors. There's That's why I think this really
appeals to me because it's like it's it's like it
feels so authentic than just like a location for exterior shots.
Yeah yeah, And I think they, like somebody should just
make it their whole business model to like build these
like experienced things, since like so much of what like

(51:15):
like Levitt Town, Yeah yeah, exactly, any John Hughes film,
they have faithful replications of those homes. Yeah. I mean, like,
Harry Potter World is so huge, and I get it,
like I love Harry Potter staff, and um, I'll admit
to that. And like when you go to Harry Potter World.

(51:36):
I took my mom there. I surprised her and got
us like fast passes the Universal and we went to
Harry Potter World. And she's a huge Harry Potter fan.
She'd never even she's an adult, so she never thought
about going. She walked in, she starts sobbing. She's I'm
a video of her and she's just going, oh my god,
a pretty much. She's so cute and she's flipping up

(52:00):
like crying like I'm in Harry Potter World. I didn't
think I would ever make it to Diagon literally, Yeah,
I mean, I feel like that's how I'm going to
be on the Star Wars Hotel, like when I step
on his ship and I'm like, yeah, all right, So
I'm like, I'm just gonna record the podcast from here Disneyland. No,

(52:22):
not since the not since up that that ship. No,
because I remember the early days. It was really hard
to go. Then the pandemic hit and then I'm just like,
well one day, but yeah, I will, I will. Okay, alright,
let's talk really briefly about these conservative children's books that
are coming. I feel like this is very reminiscent of

(52:46):
like the day how conservatives reacted to The Daily Show
that like they you know, once the Daily Show John
Stewart edition was like done and in retrospect somewhat embarrassing
like in some ways, then they like created their replica
of it, and it sucked with Gutfeld, but so we like,

(53:10):
I I feel like that's where we're at with like
our children's books that are like about RBG or like
the Marlon Bundo book from Last Week Tonight, which is
actually pretty delightful, and I have both of those on
my kid's bookshelf. But I feel like we're past that
point where we're like just creating these like trying to
turn people who are like politically convenient heroes into like

(53:36):
children's heroes. I feel like that feels weird in retrospect.
And yeah, anyways, conservatives, now that it feels weird and
bad and like outdated, conservatives are going to start doing it,
which seems to be there general, you know, metabolic rate
for culture. Yeah, because if you know, their whole thing

(53:58):
is like they're doctor, they're we're letting them indoctrinate our kids, man,
with concepts of fairness, equality, Yeah, you know, mutual aid
and responsibility, altruism, reciprocity, what the fuck is next? You know,
like that's really because when you when you just boil
it down, that's all it is. And I think because

(54:20):
they look at too how much like demographically Yeah, younger
and younger generations are just skewing more and more liberal,
progressive even like socialists that they're like, fuck it, man,
put it. Put a fucking children's book about how Amy
Coney Barrett is like a cool person they should look
up to and maybe that will stem the flow of progress. So,

(54:41):
I mean, they are first of all, they're trying to
like it's not just about the Marlin Bundo or RBG
books or whatever, like the books about becoming a anti
racist as a baby. They are like trying to get
kids books about Martin Luther King Jr. Banned from school
libraries and so on. The other side of that is,

(55:04):
like you said, Myles, they're dropping a series called Heroes
of Liberty. Oh good, and they they're debuting with three
books about Reagan, Thomas Sowell, and Amy Coney Barrett. Oh
you love it. The Amy Coney Barrett book. The cover
looks like it's from a goose Bumps thing. It's her

(55:26):
reading to her kids, but like one of her kids
seems to be like clinging to her arm in like
fear and looking at a ghost like off out of
the frame and just like eyes. Yeah, the lighting is
also creepy. It really they they just took a picture
a painting from like a horror novel and put it

(55:50):
put it on the cover of this and we're like, yeah,
sure she looks good though she looks like an avenging angel.
Just ironic. Yeah, the covers to it just no kid,
they and it shows they don't even understand fucking kids.
But no kids gonna be like, oh, what's this weird,
like John Voight looking motherfucker a book. Oh it's Ronald Reagan.

(56:15):
Reagan looks like Shitronald Reagan looks really bad. Yeah, like
that was the one thing that he was good at,
is looking good. And they made him look like ship
in their illustration. And it looks like a unfinished paint
by numbers thing of Ronald Reagan that like not even
aimed at kids. But they did give it funky fun

(56:38):
where like the Ronald and the Reagan are like kind
of funky. They're not like the cerning is off. I
guess like little word, I haven't thought about it so long,
But he looks like you took his You you like
made a skin suit of Ronald Reagan. You popped it off.
You sort of like got the wrinkles out, try to

(56:58):
got the wrinkles out, it out, sort of stretched it,
maybe rent it through the wash, let it air dry,
and then put it back on Ronald Reagan's skeleton. Yeah,
it's it's very strange. I tend to agree. This does
not look like they have thought this through all that well,
and is also scary of like the need for it too.

(57:19):
Oh yeah they articulate. Yeah, but yeah, this so they
interviewed on Fox Business Bethany Mandel, who is behind this
series of books, and I just her quote is, I
don't think I've ever heard someone like a more ineloquent

(57:40):
or poorly thought out critique of like an industry someone's
trying to like enter. She says, children's literature is one
of those things that people realized this is garbage and indoctrination,
and there's never been in alternatives that's not garbage itself
or indoctrination itself. What's your favorite? What's your favorite book?

(58:02):
Miss Mandel? Oh, where the Wild Things Are? Right? Like?
What are you talking about? There are so many like
works of art that are children's but like that, who
hates all children's books? Like a fucking demonic racist who's
hell bent on upending societal norms by any means necessary,
with no awareness around how amphasted it is? So alright,

(58:26):
the first thing, the premise we start from, everybody knows
we hate children's imaginations, right, like funk that? Am? I right?
Like that? I just read Charlotte's Web and it was amazing,
Like nearly thirty year old woman, I was like, I
love Charlotte's Web. It's maybe one of my favorite books.

(58:49):
Children books are fucking great. They're they're nailing it. Like
and when you look at like what they were in
the forties and fifties, they are so shitty you you
really appreciate, like the work that Dr SEUs did because
there you know what one of the books that's still
around just because of like Sheer Inertia, because I think

(59:10):
it was like the only children's book for hundreds of
years was It's like Pat the Cat and it's just
a cat and says, look at the cat, pet the cat.
The cat likes when you pet him. Like that's what
children's books were for a long time. It sucked. And
this person and like, yeah, this is Darryl and he

(59:30):
just bought a lower receiver for an a r on
the dark web and he gets it. He'll be able
to make his own assault rifle. Because the Feds don't
know when to fucking take their nose out of ship.
It's like wha fuck. Especially it's not subtle either. And
like the people that they want to continue with, right
fucking Margaret Thatcher Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh because that rest

(59:56):
Yes publisher claims that Limbaugh story can offer a valuable
lesson for kids because kids are afraid of being offensive. Yeah,
have you ever I ever met Have you ever met
a human being under the age of twelve? Like my

(01:00:16):
only talk about poop and pooping and parting and penises
and vaginas and that. Yeah. I had a five year
old grabbed my tips the other day and I didn't
taken the court over it. Comic, It's what. It's true.
Like my my struggle since childhood into adulthood is to

(01:00:40):
become less offensive over time. That's been the thing. Like
I started off as like a shock jock child, sing
the wildest things to just get reactions out of adults.
And then you're kind of like, okay, right, this is
not a This is not a sustainable form of humor
or humor at all. And then you're like, okay, let's
let's let that go. But at the idea that like,

(01:01:01):
where is that fake? Where's that even fake? Interview? Or
like a six year old like and I'm a way
of being the preschool canceled me. Yeah. Yeah, So Dana
loves one of one of our other favorites from the
conservative movement used to like Probably her most iconic moment

(01:01:25):
was those like n r A videos where she was
like coming for us, let's fucking kill people. So she
just dropped a children's book because she just gives off
that like person you would never leave in charge of
your children if someone literally had a gun to your head.
She wolf, and Dana like, I'm gonna chance it with

(01:01:48):
the wolf. Yeah, the wolf like probably has a you know,
maternal instinct somewhere in there. So she just dropped a
book called Pause Off My Cannon. Uh, And it's about
a grilla named Bongh who uses a cannon to keep
hyenas from stealing his cupcakes, even though his town wants

(01:02:08):
to band cannons. Oh my god. So it's teaching kids
that if someone tries to steal your dessert, you should
be allowed to murder them, I guess is the point. Yeah, Like,
I don't know how there's anything aside from using arms
to protect your property that anything a child gets out

(01:02:29):
of that the she she dropped a promotional video on
Twitter to promote her book, and the video was aimed
at small children and featured a moment where a bunch
of c g I machine guns take the shape of
black wings behind her, turn her into a like a
angel of death. Yeah, you know, because kids love that

(01:02:50):
sort of ship. Yeah, hey, do you want this fucker
telling you're reading your kid's bedtime story? Is the fucking
machine gun wings? Okay, but yeah, that's like the funny
thing too, is like even with these books, right, they
try so hard or you know, to like sort of
normalize or mainstream then, but it's like they're also so greedy,
like they just insist on selling it in a way

(01:03:13):
that isn't like how most like publishers of kids books
would be where they're like, oh yeah, let me let
me get it to Amazon or let me get it
to this place. Rather it's just gonna end up being yeah,
you can buy it from our one website, and it's
you can only buy it from me. And it's also
a pyramid scam. Yeah yeah, yeah these are. So it's

(01:03:33):
part of Brave, Like that's the publisher's name. You can
be a Brave mom, which means convincing other families to
sign up for the subscription. But don't worry, but because
for each new subscriber you recruit, you earn valuable Brave Bucks.
And yeah, so it's just a pyramid scheme for shitty

(01:03:54):
kids books. Brave books. Dude, if you're a brave and
again so regressive and gender nor it. If it's got
to be the brave moms, that's who we gotta go after.
And then it recruit other unwitting you know, people from
your your PTA group or whatever to buy a crap
book about fucking iron Rand or some ship. Yeah, you

(01:04:16):
can also get a Dan Crunchhaw penned book about the
dangers of cancel culture, setting an underwater city surrounded by
seaweed which offending citizens are expelled via the raft of shame,
or a book by Jack pass so Bac called The
Island of Free ice Cream about the dangers of socialism

(01:04:38):
The Island of Free ice Cream, Like this ship is
so dumb it sounds like bad comedy writing on our part,
Like we're breaking this up and are the worst comedy
writers ever. Um, that sucks. I will say that any
kind of public figure releasing a children's book who like
their job isn't being a children's book author just reeks

(01:05:02):
to me of like I lost a lot of money
and I need a new income stream case in point,
Jimmy Fallon has a lot of children's books. Yeah, And
I'm like, are you gambling on, buddy, Like he's like
the Dumbi's children's books, Like there's one called This is Baby.

(01:05:25):
I just remember having to pitch ideas to promote Jimmy
founds This is Baby book and wanting to like walk
into the ocean. Right, Yeah, I have one of Jimmy
Fallon's baby books and it was given to us as
a gift. Okay and sorry. The premise is that the

(01:05:48):
dad animals are trying to get their baby animals to
say dad, dad instead of mama. Okay, so that is
a consertive talking point. Father's right. They're they're furious, Yeah,
they're furious. And then at the end the kids finally
say dad dad, and there it's because he's left him,
He's walked out on him. Yeah, they had their chance.
Yea father heard was what I thought it would be.

(01:06:10):

It was so fun to be here. Glad it worked
out finally, Finally, is there a tweeter some of the
work social media you've been enjoying? Oh? So I thought

(01:06:53):
it was just tweets, but there was a TikTok that
I was obsessed with this week. It's I mean, I'm
devastatingly on bread and all the time, but it's this
this girl. She's the tailor so Stan and part of
All Too well ten minute version. Have you guys listened, Yes,
I've heard of it, not the full ten man Yeah no, no, Yeah,

(01:07:14):
that's fair, that's fine. It's great, and there's this sort
of back half bridge that she says, I was never
gonna telling jokes, but the punch line goes, all get older,
but your lovers stay my age, and it's a really
powerful part of the song. It's really great, and it's true.
He's like currently dating a year old and has been
for a couple of years, so she was like twenty

(01:07:36):
three when they met or something. He's like forty anyway,
Jake Jillan holl. I mean, but there's this girl who
did a TikTok where she it goes, I was never
gonna telling jokes, but the punch line goes and then
just like in a Jankee voiceover with the audio, she goes,
I'll get hotter, but you'll always be five eight. Yes,

(01:08:01):
that's like. That's one of my favorite things about stand
culture is just all of the media that goes out
that just takes something that's maybe a little too self
serious or or deep or something like that, and they
just go nuts with it. It's so good, right, Yeah,
Miles where people find you? What is a tweet you've

(01:10:03):
Look What We Do by Benny Sings and Jones, and
it's just a great, like, you know, kind of poppy
funk track. I'm trying to think of who I'd compare to, like,
it's kind of like if you like Steve Lacey or
someone like like the Caliches, stuff like instrumentally backing track wise,
it's like that the vocalist. I wouldn't I'm not gonna
say that this is like Cali at all, but it's

(01:10:24):

like this track. So Look What We Do by Benny Sings.
