Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season forty four, Episode
one of Their Day Night Geist for Monday, August thirteen,
two thousand eighteen. My name is Jack O'Brien a K.
The year It's tift one. White genocide has eliminated all
traces of the Irish race, all save one and the
ruins of South Boston. One Irish dad struggles to feat
(00:22):
his family as war threatens from all sides. One irishman
will take a stand this summer. Mark Wahlberg is Sola
dead obrah. Thank you to al Borgie Jeff Van funds
me on Twitter, and thanks to Van the old park
(00:43):
in the eye for calling that one out as an
a K and yeah I'm throwed. We joined as always
by my co host, Mr Miles Graces. All Side. It's
all Side, All Side, this News with Mr Myles Alright
at Scott Bennett. You know, I love you too, except
(01:05):
my favorite album is Zoopa, so you know better the
best album on YouTube because I love that song. That
was actually my favorite. That was the first YouTube song
I ever, like my dad thought I wasn't an alright,
was the one where was the edge like sort of
wraps like talk things. I think that was the first one.
I like, oh really yeah, and it's not a very
good I wonder if that going back and listening to it,
(01:26):
I just remember just bonded like Limo, Limo, All right,
now get pales in comparison. You just you opened up
some fucking core mc McCarthy novel or you're taking and
I'm just doing old racist core mcmccarthy, old Raco. Well,
we are thrilled to be joining in our third seed
(01:46):
by the hilarious stand up comedian Blake wax Lot. Thank you,
thank you man. I'm great. It's funny looking around the studio.
If I didn't know how smart and great this podcast is,
it looks like the worst podcast, just piles of vloids
and then just burious open mins with a couple left spinners.
(02:06):
Yeah spinners. When people come in with no context, I
think they're like and then I opened it up by
shouting and like a really insulting German accent and right
like start backing out of the room. I always watched
when it's a new guest, when you do that and
watch them go, they either go they just their stoic
(02:26):
or sometimes they just do a slight like oh okay,
this is a vibe. They pick up their phone and
start looking at it like, um, little do they know
the doors locked from the outside. Uh, well, Blake, We're
going to get to know you a little bit better.
But first we're going to tell our listeners what they're
in store for you guys, surprised. Almar Rosa is a
(02:48):
little bit messy. Nobody saw that coming. We're gonna talk
about the worst case scenario for when you try to
pull that can I get a cup for water scam
at a place that has soda fountains. We are going
to talk about how the Unite the Right to rally
did not go that great. It was not super impressive.
(03:10):
That's disappointing. I know we were all looking forward to it. Uh.
We're gonna talk about two articles that people are passing
around today. One is from Steven Miller's uncle and the
other is from the City of Philadelphia. It's about the
mayonnaise Wars. We'll get into it, you guys, it's amazing.
(03:30):
We're gonna talk of white genocide. Uh exactly. This is
the first step. We're gonna talk about Brett Kavanaughs weird
uh two hundred thousand dollar bill that he racked up
for Washington Nationals tickets, the Peter Struck firing, and the
fact that it is International Lefties Day. Uh yeah, shout
(03:54):
out to fellow lefties Flanders. But first, Blake, we like
to ask our guest, what is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? I would have
to say, Um, recently, it was how long until sunburn
goes away? And oh, actually, how long until purple sunburn?
(04:17):
It was bad. Purple sunburn is when you don't go
out in the sun a lot. And uh you I
got burnt so bad. It wasn't read. It was almost
a beautiful shade of magenta, a tragic shade of magenta.
And uh that's what I looked up. And where'd you
get it? I actually got it in Ocean City, New
(04:38):
Jersey on your body neck. Oh I'm sorry. Uh the
Ocean City, New Jersey, part of my body, my torso
that was a much better too, because they have tramps
stamps on that boardwalk. Um but uh no, yeah, it
was on like my uh my, my belly, my Tom.
Tom didn't get a lot of it was like a
(04:59):
legit burn. It was beyond burn. I felt it in
my organs like it was. It was so and humiliating
because I should know better, you know what I mean,
Like this happens once every six years, so yeah, I
should know a lot better. Um, what is something that
you think is overrated? Overrated? I think all the hate
(05:20):
on emotional support animals I think is overrated. I think
the hate should be on people who aren't responsible with them.
Where my girlfriend and I travel with dog and he
has uh an emotional support pass, and the hate that
you get when you walk onto a plane with a
dog because assholes just let their dogs run around the plane,
(05:41):
which is rude, Like that's the problem. People are allergic
to dogs. But I just think if the dogs just
sitting there in the corner, you know, I don't have
a problem with it. So I think that hate is overrated.
I think they should they should dial it back for
the pups. Interesting. Yeah, I had to travel once with
my dog and my girlfriend her majesty, she got an
emotional support pass for the thing, and I'm just so
(06:01):
like overly considerate, Like I'm in a panic. I'm like
if the dog barks, I'm going to be so mortified
and bringing all this attention upon myself and like inconveniencing
other people that like, I was just in a like
a state of panic the entire time, and like every
time the dog barked, like I was just losing it. Then,
to make things worse, the second we got off the plane,
(06:22):
dog about almost like the wildest ship, like right off
the gate, and I had to catch it with my
bare hand. Know I literally Chris Carter one hand scooped
that ship out like before it hit the ground, both
feet and yeah, literally, because I just couldn't live with
being like, oh, now I'm the guy whose dog just
took a ship in the airport too, right, There's so
(06:42):
I get a lot of panic because whenever when you
don't expect the dog to bark in a certain context,
it is so jarring for me, especially at airport. Yeah,
I have that panic. But you know, no, hey, if
you could control your animal, more power to you. It's
these other people who just literally bring a dog on
because they don't like it's a workaround for being able
to like skirt like actually boarding the dog or whatever.
And I have a problem with you. Yeah, I agree
(07:04):
with that. And you don't need it to be emotional support,
or do you now? Because we used to travel with
our dog that was like very small. It's like the
runt of the litter. And we got her specifically, you know,
the smallest of the litter, because there was like a
size constraint that you couldn't travel with. And uh so
the reason she was the runt is because she actually
(07:25):
had like health problems that we didn't know about. And
one time we brought her on the plane and she
was not feeling great and escaped from the little carrying bag,
ran to first class and took a wild deuce in
first class right in the aisle. Is my worst and
they almost had to land the fucking plane. It was like,
(07:48):
this is unsanitary. It was the worst experience of my list.
He's a mix um. He's like part Australian cattle dog
par whip it. But he's like a mid size storry,
like we get hot high off of Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
he's he's part teenager huffing. You got all those crackers
(08:10):
you put into an old ball Zach balloon in high school,
shout out to the ball Zack remember that. No, I
don't remember. Ball Zach was a thing from the early
nineties that was a philosopher. No what's that? What he
did for it was like a huge like do you
remember talking, was like neon green and it had like
checkered patterns, just a big fucking balloon with a fabric
(08:31):
around it that people were like, it's a ball zack. Oh,
I actually I do, I do know what you're saying.
They have like the rubber band on it. Yeah, they
had one to have the rubber band on it and
you would put whip it in there. So yeah, back then,
but by the time we were kids doing whippets, you
just had like the old bladders lying around for like
a ball zach and so that would be good because
you could reuse that to fill with nas or whatever
(08:53):
and he just do nas hits and then the room
starts spitting, all right, cool, So your dog is part that,
of course, I'm sure, yeah, what what? I'm sorry? What's
a whip it? It's like a thin looking dog. W
Jesus Christ. W h I P P E E t
oh Is that even right? I didn't even know that
(09:15):
that's called a whip it. Yeah, it's like a cute,
yeahund kind of dog. It does look a little gray, handy,
but like our dogs, like a little thicker you know what.
I'm like, yeah, alright, right right, thickness, Blake, what is
something you think is underrated? Underrated? To go to my
previous point, beach umbrellas, and I think I think it
(09:37):
makes the beach a lot more enjoyable. Hell yeah, I
mean there's no question about that. I'm sick of the song.
It's just like, who's trying to get tan now, you
know when you're like heading into your thirty Like, there's
no need that everybody. Yeah, there are so many leathery
motherfucker's on the Jersey Shore. Yes, it's the leather like
(09:57):
a leather weathered white person's ski in like that you
just want to pull to see if it's Yeah, you know,
the umbrella is a good thing. As kids, we never
thought about it because you just don't give a ship.
But as you're more like I need shade, and you
go to find you stuff at the beach at like
eleven in the morning, You're like, I am exposed for
this entire day. Those little half tent outdoor things are
(10:21):
pretty chilled. Yeah, those are important. We needed to get those.
At our beach trip. Blake and I were on the
Jersey Shore on the same island and didn't know it,
no clue, but yeah we had to despite all the press. Yeah,
I mean he's all plugged. What's weird? He shows up
at the restaurant, You show up thirty minutes later. He
(10:43):
needs twenty minutes before, of course, following an unmarked black cart. Whatever,
no reservations? Uh blake. Finally, what does the myth? What's
something people think is true that you know it to
be false? This is just going with the summer beach
five traveling, relaxing. Mine myth is that vacations are actually relaxing.
I can't relax on vacations at all. I keep working,
(11:05):
or if I'm not working, I'm like, well, the industry
has forgotten about being. They've totally forgotten. Um not that
they think about me that much anyway, but whatever thoughts
were in their head. I have just issues or I
don't with creative stuff, like you start thinking about ideas
and I'm like, oh, I need to write these down,
and then if I don't, then I look back negatively
(11:26):
upon my time, you know, try and relax, because yeah,
I don't know if that's a thing where if you
reach a certain point in your career you stopped doing
that but um, yeah, I hope so. Or does that
never end? Uh? I don't think it ends. We'll call
Bob oden Kirk and get his thoughts right. Uh. And
having kids makes it even less a vacation, I will say,
(11:48):
oh yeah, because it's just an opportunity to cram your
entire family that you're usually able to spread out over
a household into a single room. And because the naps
or wraps and just you know, availability of space. Whether
you're staying at a hotel or staying with a relative,
you don't have multiple rooms to stay. You're just in
(12:09):
the thunderdome. Right. Well, guys, we got a lot of
news to cover. Amar Rossa back. Reality TV continues to
define the zeitgeist, you guys, whether it's Kim Kardashian saying
someone isn't interesting to look at, or you know, the
President being a reality TV star and turning the presidency
into a reality show. Uh. And now we have, you know,
(12:31):
somebody worked for him in the White House who is
only known because of her work on a reality show,
not success, just being, as Kim Kardashian pointed, interesting to
look at. That is the most important trait you can have. Uh.
And Amar Rossa is definitely interesting to look at. She's
back and she's messy. Yes, she's got a book coming out.
(12:52):
She does, so we know what The playbook is a
stirrup as much ship as possible to get people talking
about you and the book. I don't know. Off top
of the White House, like everything and there's a lie,
there's nothing true, Like they were very very clear that
everything in there just basically slanderous or whatever. But you know,
she kicked off her pressed to her pretty impressively by
leaking two recorded conversations she had during her time there,
(13:15):
and it was like being so messy. She's like, they're like, oh, i'mbrose,
do you have more recordings and she just looks and goes, oh,
yes I do. And it's really treat like really acting
like a villain from it, like I'm back, Well, I'm
ready to fuck things up. I think I remember her
original season on the Apprentice, and that was sort of
what she did. She was just like, oh, I'm going
(13:36):
to be a villain, Like she just got it immediately,
Like but this is with the government now, you know,
like you're taking her out of this medium that ultimately
doesn't matter. I don't think her and Trump know they're
in the government and they're defense, they don't know it's
a new set that they're working on, right, right, right,
it's on a different set. Where are the cameras and um?
But yeah, it's this is what happens when you put
(13:58):
people like this in actual decision making capacities that affects
other people's lives. So, yeah, the first one she talks about,
you know, she had a recording of when Chief of
Staff John Kelly fired her, and it's a pretty long
clip that they have or whatever. But the thing that's
interesting about this one, aside from him just hearing, he's
basically sort of like does like a that kind of
(14:20):
jeezer up sort of being like, look, let's make this
as nice as possible because we don't want to make
things difficult for you after this. Yeah, like okay, all right,
I'll be cool. But what this apparently happened in the
fucking situation room. So she recorded a conversation in one
of the most sensitive areas of the West wing where
you know, that's where like Obama watched the bin Laden
(14:42):
hit job. Basically, yeah, whatever if they got him, but yeah,
like a lot of ships accident, but it just shows
you this room where so many important things have happened.
You just can wander in there with your phone or whatever,
just make her recording. Whatever. So we found out that
she got fired and it was whatever. Then the second
clip that she dropped, I think it was either yesterday
(15:03):
today was a phone call with her and Trump where
he acts so zero MG surprised that she was fired.
So apparently she was fired and she and the things.
She's like, does the president know about this? And Jonka
is like, look, this is in a negotiable situation, like
just like you know, tough guyser, So that's your shame
if something happened to your reputation. Yeah, essentially specifically he
(15:23):
said that, yeah, sparkling reputation like an actual reality star villain.
This is the recording that she made when she talks
with the President Trump right after being fired. MOROSSA, what's
going on on the news that you're thinking about leaving?
What happened? General Kelly? General Kelly came to me and
said that you guys wanted me to leave. No, I
(15:46):
had nobody even told me about it. You know, the operation,
but I didn't know it. I didn't know that. Damn it.
I don't love you a damn it. I mean, okay,
So you can look at that called on. You can
(16:07):
look at that one of two ways. One is that
he actually knows nothing about what's going on in his
own administration and General Kelly just calls all the shots,
which is likely. The other is that he totally knew,
and just because he doesn't, he's not really confrontational and
he wants to be able to be the good guy,
acting like all surprised about it, like he didn't even know, like,
oh really, the goddamn god, damn it, damn Oh yeah,
(16:32):
you're so upset. That was one of the worst performances
I've ever seen, like just as a liar, but that
was just not good. And he is, if nothing else,
a well practiced liar, Like he lets out much better
lives than that. Yeah, I think they are, like certain
lives he's comfortable with or has convinced himself are true,
(16:53):
and this just didn't happen to be one of those.
Like he was like, Okay, she's fired, Okay, let me
get on the phone with her and going on, what
am I reading about? Oh my god, damn it. And
then as we were laughing, you can hear him say,
I don't love you leaving at all. Uh, that's such
a weird way to describe that. Mostly you'll hire me
back again. Okay, I go, I gotta go and hold
(17:15):
on my big Max here. Yeah, I don't know. Look,
this sort of underlines the whole problem with this administration too,
is because now she's out and she's talking all this
ship Trump is on Twitter coming at her intelligence, you know,
typical playbook when it comes to people of color who
are have any opinion on the presidents, question their intelligence.
But you know, after that, the media, you know, rightfully
(17:37):
noticed what has always been obviously like wait, not a
lot of people of color that are working at the
highest level in that White House administration. H So, you know,
on the Sunday shows, Kelly and Conway was out there
and I think she was on I forget which which
of the Sunday shows, basically being asked a question, hey,
can you name some people of color that work with
the president, And it was a little you know, she
(18:00):
she didn't have many ideas, and um, the Amor Rossa
was the most prominent high level African Americans serving in
the West Wing on President Trump's staff, who now, is
that person who is the most prominent high level advisor
to the president on the West wing staff right now
African American? Yes, I would say that. Well, first of all,
(18:23):
you're you're totally uh not covering the fact that our
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and world renowned I'm
asking you about the White House staff. I'm asking what
the people the president is with every day. He's that
he's well, the President works as Secretary of Carson every day.
He's trying to break the back of the White House
staff right now. And you we have Geron who's done
(18:44):
a fabulous job and very involved with He's been very
involved with Jared Kushner and President Trump on prison reform
at the beginning. He's been there from the beginning. He
worked with Amar Rossa and others of us. Does he
have an office in the West wing? Killing has an
office on the in the e O P. Absolutely, the
Executive Office of the President. Yes, but but but not
in the West wing. What does that say that not
a single senior advisor in the West Wing who's African American.
(19:07):
I didn't say that there wasn't, but hold on me.
There there are plenty of people. If you're if you're
if you're going by that and not by the actions
of the president, which you probably should, then then you
should look at the fact that we have a number
of different minorities and the fact is that this president
is doing well for all Americans. Yeah, okay, m m.
(19:30):
I mean just look at all the people he appoints
to like judicial nominations are I think he has a
thing for white guys. I think it's easy to say. Ye.
At first, I thought I thought she was making up Geron.
I was like, oh, hell no, you just made up
there's a man named Geron Smith who works with Jared
Kushner like as a executive aid. But who knows in
(19:51):
what real capacity that actually is. But you know, again,
it's not surprising when you look at just you know again,
if you if she's saying, look at the actions of
the president, well, then I think that would also be
clear to look at the actions of our most rights.
So did you see him, Well, he had all those
bikers at the White House this weekend, and the one
(20:12):
dude had a patch that said I like guns and titties,
just prominently on his best parents. He's not necessarily in
that order. Yeah, but it was, but in that order,
he's like he's got his arm around these bikers and
the dude, one of the dudes patch, He's like like,
uh not that his bass is all Harley Davidson riders.
But didn't he do something like over the weekend where
(20:36):
he's like split He actually started talking trash on Harley
Davidson right, because they're going to take some of their
operations overseas because of EU terror sence, and now Harley
Davidson riders, Like, well do I like my bike more? Yeah?
Racist for a boycott? I mean like Trump is only
at most wouldn't be president for eight years total. Those
Harley's though, this whole trademark that sound. Yeah, you know,
(21:00):
if you take care of it and get their oil changed,
if you can do that with a motorcycle, then they'll
they'll hold up for years. I wonder how many. I
don't know what other bike would you ride? A fucking
Yamaha baby, that's too foreign? Yeah, that's too foreign, like
a Royal Endfield to English to European. I don't know anyway,
I don't know about motorcycles. I thought you would jack.
(21:21):
You strike me as a big hog guy, the wild
handlebars like it's great airs. You out ride one to
work every day. That's actually a bird scooter whatever, Tomato,
Toto Harley bird scooter. Alright, we're gonna take a quick break.
(21:43):
We'll be right back. And we're back. And I don't
know about you, guys. I was refreshing my phone pretty
regularly yesterday waiting for, you know, all hell to break
loose on the Unite the Right to rally in Washington,
(22:07):
d C. They decided to have it right across the
street from the White House. I don't know how they
figured they'd get away with that with this president of ours, who's,
as you can tell just looking at his behaviors and
his actions, if not his hiring practices, he's the least
racist person ever. But so you know the idea, I
think they had permitted for four hundred uh Neo Nazis
(22:32):
and skinheads and white Nationals. No, no, not not officially.
We're not allowed with them. When you put the speaker
list too. They were new Nazis. Uh so they were
expecting four hundred uh, and they drew was it for less?
It was about two dozen people, maybe a little more
(22:55):
hundred or two hundreds. Yeah, So it was between two
dozen and forty that they actually had come out to
you know, I think people last year after uh you know,
they all showed up in their white shirts and uh
no masks, which was really the most surprising part of
(23:18):
their decision, their their decor at the Unite the Right
rally of the first one, they were just like, this
is cool, now, right, everyone the right, and then a
bunch of them got fired on my communities as being
hateful racists and uh now that apparently did people. People
weren't fond of of how that went down, that nobody
(23:38):
showed up completely tanked. I mean not that like there
was any stock or social cachet, but being a white nationalist,
but like people were definitely like, yo, I can't be
out here like that, Like I'm not that down with it.
I mean, because I think he could only find about
thirty people who are that ignorant and shameless to go
out and be like, yeah, we're sucking here for the
Unite the Right to the count to protesters. However, they
(24:01):
came on the thousands, so you know, it's very clear
that I think, you know, one is less meaningful, let's say,
less sexy to the general public, but I think Jason Kessler, man,
he's had a lot of problems too, because the other
thing that this whole failure of the Unite the Right
rally shows is there there's a lot of fracturing going
on in this whole right community where like they don't
know how who to follow, who actually is the leader.
(24:24):
Half of them are getting scrubbed off of Twitter and
things like that, so it's become a very fractured and
Jason Kessler like he's burned a lot of bridges in
the neo Nazi community because there are people like on
a gap they're like, you know chat site that they
can talk shit on. They're all being like, no, this
guy has no manpower. No one follows him anymore, Like
I advise you to not go. It's gonna be dangerous. Uh.
And you know, he's also like he hasn't been able
(24:46):
to fundraise, like on any kind of website that makes
it easier to collect funds from people, so he's basically
limited to like cash and check donations, so he's has
less and less organizing power. And so it was kind
of like on right Wing Watch, our boy Jared Holt
was always saying like this is probably gonna be a
flop just from the onset based on how nobody's really
like with each other on the same side anymore compared
(25:07):
to last year, because Kesler is the guy who organized
the UH last year. Chott. Yeah, I mean that's the
problem with your movement being fully obsessed with categorizing people
and hating them, Like, you're going to have some divisions
that open up, and some of those people aren't going
to be fully on board with your type of white nationalism. Um. Yeah.
(25:31):
One one of the white nationalists or neo Nazis was
mad because Jason Kessler had like a non white person
working like at a higher level with him, and he's
like not to mention that, like there's not even all
white people in his organization. Yeah. So something I didn't realize.
Richard Spencer, who likes to focus his brand of white
nationalism and white supremacy on claiming that it's like all
(25:54):
about European culture and like different people coming from European
nations and having something especial. I didn't realize that over
the past year he has been banned from like most
European countries. Yeah, he can't not allowed to go there.
A lot of those people can't. Yeah, people are kind
of running away from this movement. That's how fractured it is.
By the way, is that so few people want to
join the movement that they have to hire minority right,
(26:17):
I don't fill these white positions, right, Like not even
this as a movie Backlansman shows, right, the plot of
that they just got. It's you know, the other aspect
of this is, you know, last year they had a
lot of paramilits. They militias like pull up at the
Unite the Right thing like oath keepers and stuff like
that to you know, protect them. And you could see
(26:38):
like that site was pretty out there when you saw
all these dudes in this tactical gear and being like, yeah,
we're aligned with this group. But because of that fall out,
those militias that you have even like pulled away from
kind of being out there because the optics like aren't
really helping them. And I was reading this piece, which
which is kind of interesting, is like how the militias
have kind of lost their way now that Trump is
president because even with like Bush two and Clinton and Obama,
(27:02):
they were able to like have this like it's this
like neo globalist you know, conspiracy to bleed America dry
and blah blah blah, and like so we gotta be
ready and like so when Trump was running, they were
all like, yeah, this is our guy. This is our guy.
And a lot of analysts were like, if Hillary Clinton wins,
I think we need to really be prepared for what
the fallout was gonna look like with these militias and
things like that. But then he won, and now they're
(27:25):
kind of like have an identity crisis because they're like, wait,
our guy is in power, so what do we do
we hate? Yeah, and like and they were started tracking,
like first it was anti fuck because then it was
easy to be like, oh yeah, okay, we're diametrically opposed,
and then that kind of fell off, so then it
was immigrants, then Muslims, and now the new thing is
they're just obsessed with the civil war, like that's the
(27:45):
next thing that they've given themselves, Like, Okay, we're gonna
be ready for this, like libs verse conservatives race war.
Drudge was trying to popularize the whole anti anti thing
yesterday because like a lot of the top headlines were
like it's and ugly out there, and then it would
be like a video of Antifa, like pushing a camera
away or something like um. And then a lot of
(28:06):
places we're writing that shipped up, like in the coverage
of this like of open white supremacy in this country,
they're getting mad at like Antifa for clashing with like
other like when you saw, like importantly a few weeks ago,
the police Definitely from what I saw, like what the
reporting was, they seemed to be much more aggressive with
like the counter protesters, and they were with like the
white nationalists, And a lot of the coverage is more
(28:29):
focused on what they're doing rather than these white nationalists
who are out here, you know, spreading all this hatred.
So the coverage of it was a little odd to
me too, from some place, not everybody, but yeah, and
I mean I think there's also a sense in which
they overplayed their hand a little bit, Like I mean,
there there are people who are invigorated by Trump's you know,
election and feeling like, okay, now I can you know,
(28:51):
let my racist inner thoughts and feelings out into the open.
And they did that last year, and they sort of
overplayed their hand, and you know a lot of them
fired from their jobs, and uh, you know there I
think there's also like when when you watch that Vice
documentary last year with that guy was like we got
all the guns, and we got all this and like,
(29:12):
you know, just talking with his chest out like he
was about to go whoop some mess. And I was
very you know, angry and seemed sure of himself. And
then the next video we saw of him, he was
weeping and being like I'm so scared, Please don't hurt
me about the cops because he got in trouble for
being openly violent. I just feel like when your movement
(29:35):
is about violence and a very very limited worldview, you're
not going to have very stable leadership a lot of
the time. And there's another guy who was very I
forget where the article was, but it was a guy
who wrote for you know, a mainstream outlet who used
this right wing kind of mainstay as a source. And
(29:58):
over the past year that's disappeared because he actually stabbed
his father to death. Like was that the guy in Oregon? Yeah?
Or Washington, Washington Northwest? Right? Yeah. So it's like, you
know a lot of these people who were big personalities
and who were you know, out there pushing this point
(30:18):
of view, they don't last long in the public eye
for any number of reasons, when it just shows you
that they're rallying, Like the thing that brings them together
is literal hatred and violence. That's not Most people are
pretty chill, you know, they're not wired like you know,
you'll you'll have people who are very angry, and you
can get those people. But that's but you look at
the counter protesters, they are they rally around the idea
(30:40):
of of inclusion and unity and like empathy. That's a
that's a much more broader audience for them than like,
hey man, you fucking hate immigrantsmen and beat some people.
Oh no, like really, I'm not dead, Like I'd rather
just you know, shame some racists. It's harder, it's harder
to get behind that point of view now more than ever,
(31:01):
because you can't burn all the books like in you know,
there's still the internet, and like eventually, like the internet
can be bad if you just get in to like
one small group where everybody's talking crazy, but like eventually
you can go out and do your own research and
uh doesn't look good. Uh there there's also Stephen Miller's
(31:22):
uncle just published an article where it's almost surprising how
basic it was he was just like, hey, so our
great grandfather came here because of you know, there were
anti Semitic programs and like, uh, he was trying to
escape like just horrible treatment in his home country and
he came through Ellis Island and then he like worked
(31:44):
and paid for his you know, to pay your great
grandfather to like come over and it's basically chained migration.
And he's like, so, how are you going to It's
just like this ideology that these groups and that like
you're Stephen Miller's of the world kind of a spouse
is just like so transparently, just like it doesn't hold
(32:05):
up scrutiny that I don't know, it seems like every
time they just get put down or you know, every
time someone points out the insanity of their argument, it's like, yeah,
that's pretty obviously turns it out. And that whole letter
is it's like he's just like I'm ashamed to him.
He knows better, like he and like the thing that
(32:26):
was really to that point is like he points out
that Stephen Miller is well aware of their family's history
like coming from like a stettle in what is now
Belarus like to coming here and the articles almost like
my man, how the funk are you even thinking like
this knowing our family's history right like that, this is
this exact kind of policy that could have gotten you know,
(32:47):
our ancestors killed, and we wouldn't even be here. You
wouldn't even be at Santa Monica High School being like
I think the janitors need to speak English. Anybody with me? Uh?
And that's why I'm running for student president. Which is
like one of his speeches that he made. Yeah, she's
a legendary YouTube clip him in high school. Yeah, I
mean the cowardice of like getting over the wall from
like a danger and like pulling the ladder up behind
(33:09):
you is Yeah, it's just obvious. It's like, yeah, man,
that's not a good look, um. And I don't think
they ever cared that it would be a good look,
you know, or even thought that. Like that's like the
most infuriating part of all of this. It's like, yeah,
he doesn't care, like he knows that his family comes
from a long line of immigrants. He doesn't care, like
(33:29):
he pulled the rope back, you know what I mean,
Like this is just what's going to keep happening. And
when he gets called like oh. Yeah. By the way,
what you do is illogical. It's like, yeah, obviously it's illogical.
None of it is logical. Hate is not logical. It's
just all self serving things. And I don't think this
will like, oh, Stephen Miller is not a great guy.
Holy shit, thank you uncle Miller. Um. Yeah. I think
(33:52):
most people who come to America, like you know, when
you ask all these people, I think pretty much everyone
has a backstory about yeah, they came here for a
better opportunity at some point, even if you're one of
these daughters of the Revolution type people, like, there are
people still coming here because they're like, oh, I'm not
feeling this place. I'm coming here and this will this
will offer me the opportunity. But it's easy to forget that.
(34:13):
I think the only person who came to America and
just to not escape anything bad was Prince Akim in
coming to America because he was just looking for Shorty right,
thank you king shit ye, yes, fuck you too. Uh So,
from the really obvious white supremacy to the less obvious,
(34:38):
we wanted to talk about this article that when you
read the headline, and it's basically when you read every
word of it, it really seems like a piece of
just on the nose satire um. But it so. It's
an article from an American food columnist writing in Philadelphia Magazine,
and it's called how Millennials Killed Mayonnaise. M you mean
(35:01):
the subhead is the inexorable rise of identity condiments has
led to hard times for the most American of food stuff,
and that's a shame. And then there's an animation of
a guy in like Bow's headphones just stabbing it with
a spreadable knight Helmond spraying everywhere. Yeah. Uh so we
start with a rundown of how she's noticed that people
(35:24):
stopped eating her dishes at family barbecues, and from that
she draws the conclusion that it's because of identity politics
and because millennials don't think mayonnaise is lit exactly. She
writes about a decade ago, though I began to notice
I was toting home as much of my offerings, as
I concocted, my contributions were being overlooked, were shunned. Oh
(35:49):
so it's a it's a deliberate shunning of her mannaise
based dishes. She seems fun to invite to a barbecue
with a little talents out, what about your politics makes
you not like my food? Yeah? And it's just she's six.
It's so transparent because on one hand, it could be
(36:12):
I don't I still am struggling to know if this
is slightly satirical. But also there are other points that
she makes that sounds like a very upset mother who
is realizing that her kids are getting older they don't
think she's cool anymore. And mannaise sucks. And that is actually,
uh like some kind of metaphor for what else is
going on? Because she breaks down the family's history history
(36:35):
of mayonnaise. She goes into this deep historical reading of
why mayonnaise used to be so important to quote us
as quote Americans because we were quote strivers. Uh, mayo
America NAIs again is what we came up with. That's
really good. That's really good, done and done. Can we
(36:57):
just end there? You can see the text, but she
writes about how American then was full of strivers, like
mom desperate to forget family legacies of lakins and boxed
tase and I'm gonna mispronounce all this ship, but basically
just saying that we were trying to leave behind our
ethnicities for a more like American uniform homogenius type of lifestyle.
(37:21):
And she literally says the word like homogeneity in here,
like that that's what we used to be striving for,
and now we now we all want these like different.
She keeps referring to things as like exotic. That's how
she's describing, like, yeah, exactly, saracha and uh. Then she
(37:43):
gets into the personalities of you know, what's really at state,
what's really going on? My son Jake, who's t eats mayo.
He's a practical young man who works in computers and
adores macaroni salad intel. He's a good son. I also
have a daughter. She was a whim ends in gender
studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise. Okay, she's
(38:06):
not alone, what I mean naturally? Right, right, Well that's typical.
Well you know how feminists hate that condiment. Everyone's on board, right, yeah,
I don't. That's where it becomes. That's where you start
to see, oh, you're becoming very transparent. Now there's your
son who likes your mayonnaise. He's a good boy. Your wacky,
(38:28):
woke as daughter who went off to college learn about
some weird ship like genders fluid or some nonsense. She
don't funk with manonnaise. She's the devil. Yeah, of course not.
It's yeah. Her understanding of her daughter is that she
hates mayonnaise because it's not like exotic enough, because she
can only understand foreign things and other identities as like exotic,
(38:51):
and that's like the only value they could have to
people who embrace them. Uh, it can't be because mayonnaise
is larded egg yolk and salt jelly. Uh you know
that literally looks like the stuff you like clear out
of arteries when you're like trying to save somebody's life. Um,
it's she just thinks it has to be this like
knee jerk frivolous desire for the exotic. Literally, what killed
(39:16):
mayonnaise is a oli, is a hunt, is a hundred
thousand fucking percent what killed that condiment? Because it's just no,
that's not it. Let me tell you why. To her,
she says, young people like my daughters seem to have
extrapolated this masking function of of the of mayonnaise from
condiment to culture for them. Male quite literally whitewashed America's
(39:37):
immigrants into eating old food, and newer generations are refusing
to meekly fall in line with a culinary heritage that
was never there's. Instead, they're gobbing up Kafeir and chimmy
Truri and gotu jang again. And then she goes, it's
like they're also shunning their parents preferred restaurants Applebee's, Ruby
too safe, teacher to seek out more authentic fair And
(39:57):
then this is where you get to it. It's obvi
used to me that this conduct mental divide can be
tressed traced to young folks rejection of what they sneeringly
consider a boring white food. Do you think twenty three
and me and my heritage and all those other DNA
testing companies are flourishing because people want to know that
their ancestors came from Aberdeen. Hell's No, I thought that
(40:20):
was a little improv by you. This is all verbatim. Uh.
They want to be, they want to be, And she
writes it like I want to be, Like if you
want to be my lover or not want to be,
they want to be or Manchuria or Malawi. It's the
same with condiments. I'm not part of the elderly Mao masses.
I'm Turkey and Swiss on schabada with ziki chipotle spread
(40:41):
and a little basil pesto. That's who I am. Damn
it my sandwich myself, I don't like right by the way,
also the most exotic sandwich she can come up with
a Turkey and Swiss, but it's onbada, so I mean
pretty pretty out there. She's like, what's that Italian bread? Right? Yeah?
(41:03):
She spends a lot of time on the white European
roots of mayonnaise. And there's interesting stuff in here about mayonnaise,
like as a food food like tasters and food critics
respect it. They say, like all the flavors blend together,
it's perfectly balanced. Nothing sticks out. Everything is appropriate. Uh.
And then she writes after that quote italics nothing sticks out.
(41:27):
Mayonnaise isn't bland, it's artfully blended. It's an evocation of
the era I grew up in, of the homogeneity of
that old dead American dream. So nothing sticks out. Key,
we don't want people who stick out. We want something
that is homogenious and white, white. Imagine going into it art.
(41:51):
What if she has no like she's not trying to
have any thinly veiled message on this in her mind,
she's just writing an article making fun of millennial and
then all of a sudden she's like, wait, what do
you mean I'm a racist? Like this is how she
finds out whoa how did people have this? Oh my god,
I guess it is there. I guess I do hate
my da Jesus huh, because I can clearly see that
what happened was they went to this outing and her
(42:14):
macaroni salad and potatoes has just sat there because probably
whack anyway, And he's going, I'm not eating how can
we not eating it? And her daughter goes, Mom, stop
like pushing people to eat your macaroni salad, like they'll
just eat what they want to. It's my female daughter.
And then her daughter probably goes, look, mom, mayonnaise is
just gross and you know that's something you wanted to do.
It's old timing and like we're just into other stuff,
(42:35):
and she went, excuse you, gender studies, psycho. That is
your cultural inheritance, madame. Um, which sucks if that's literally
what you think about your h She gets angry the
other thing because they're talking about it, like, oh, I
wonder what it could have what could have happened. She's like,
she points out all these BuzzFeed articles that we're talking
(42:57):
shit about man is, and then she's like, this one
professor said it was too disgusting to ingest describe it.
Then she puts in a quote from another article says,
it's viscous quality is the sort of thickness that you
get from fluid oozing out of a rotted carcass, and
then the quote goes on. She's then she starts her paragraph,
this is bullshit. This attitude comes to you from young
people who willingly slurp down eight kazillion kinds of yogurt,
(43:18):
not to mention raw fish and pork belly and yo
detergent pods. So don't talk to me about mayonnaise. It
has to be satire, right, I don't know, man, We're
going to be so embarrassed if it is. I will,
I will, I will just tip my hat. I will
because I will without knowing. My analysis is this is
(43:39):
actually great, like for it to be from the perspective
of this yeah this yeah right right, This mother who
has her manonnaise based existence is a threat. It's being
threatened by millennials. Uh. And then she goes into this
other part she goes, and this is where I be.
You know, they could be satire because they're all these
parallels to like our political discourse now. But says, quote,
(44:02):
I thought young people today were supposed to be all
about inclusion, about kindness and compassion and making other people
feel welcome. So how about you include a little mayo
in your picnic fare? And it goes down a little bit,
and she says, just because something is old and white
doesn't mean it's obsolete. Look at Shakespeare. Look at me.
Uh huh, look at me though, really see me? Uh?
And then so all of this goes back to an
(44:24):
observation that she made because people weren't eating her potato salad.
When you read the first paragraph through again, uh, it
seems that people stopped eating it after she she makes
the point that it was her mother's recipe that she
passed down to her, and it seems like people stopped
eating it when she started making it. So maybe she's
(44:44):
just like not good at and people are just like,
we're not really into mayonnaise anymore. I guess is what
what what will make you stop talking about this? I
I substitute the potatoes for plums and people have been
having an shoe with it for some reason. Right, what
if this plumb mannise salad? Ye? So and I can't
(45:07):
get I would hope. I've looked on her Twitter. I'm
trying to find out if this is saterical. Her last
tweet was about her posting her mom's macaroni salad recipe.
She says, there have been a lot of requests for this.
We boomers are nothing if not accommodating macaroni salad. I'm
fine with mayonnaise on a sandwich. Mayonaise, like my wife
(45:27):
hates it, I am fine with it. But macaroni salad
is fucking gross. Guys, Come on, I'll eat macaroni salad.
I'd add here with manse okay, okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, okay. Well,
if it's a job for me, um, welcome back. I
(45:47):
mean yeah, going around this table, is anyone in this
room staunchly opposed to Mannie's in general conceptually? Right? No?
Not at all? Everyone I'm looking at No, okay, superducer
Nick Stump just said he thinks pretty nasty. Okay, And
Josie and Josie don't pantomime shooting him. Do you love it?
(46:09):
Do you. I'm not. I'm not a guesst mandaise. I'll
funk with man like i'll eat macaroni's out. I'm disgusting.
I will ask for it not to be on a sandwich,
but if it comes on the sandwich, I'll be like fine,
you know, like I won't even Yeah, mostly okay, But
you don't seek out mayonnaise. I do not, So you
try to avoid it when possible. Yeah, but I won't. Yeah,
it won't ruin my day, right right, right, But I
think maybe this you're the kind of millennials she's talking
(46:30):
about here. You want male folbes, my mabe. You know anyway,
you should everyone should be using QPI mannaise, Japanese mannaise.
That that's you, you know what. But she calls it,
calls it, she calls it out in this article though,
of like things that are like new wavy manse that
(46:52):
people should still be fucking with. So in that way, Susan,
I'm I'm with our Sandy, Sandy Hingston, I'm with you.
But then her Twitter, I was going through a Twitter.
There's like a photo with her and all these other
like older baby boom a white when she's like and
like vacation in New Hampshire with all my middle school
best friends, and it looks like whatever the man is Illuminati,
like where they gather and they they set forth the
(47:14):
agenda for Big Mayonnaise. She she's just like it's tweeting
heart emojis at Heinz, you know. I mean, she really
goes all in for Helman's like, and a lot of
it really is like wrapped up in her mother and
her father too. She's talking about father loved Hellman. So
there are times whether it's a very real, like as
a piece of satire, it would be great because it
(47:35):
would come off as this person who's completely unaware of
what they're saying. But also I don't know, I'm still
struggling with what this actually is. And also her whole
ancestors and familial heritage, like this just goes to, oh,
name one thing about your grandfather that you love so much,
may Oh. And that's the first thing, Not that he
was a good, loving family member. His stance towards Mayonnaise
(47:59):
has to get most like that decorated navy pilot. I
don't know, I know, I don't know for sure. What
I do know is that he loved mayonnaise. Oh, and
I mean this is not to deny in any way
that there is such a thing as like political taste
and food. I mean, the first comparison to America is
American as apple pie. And one of the things she
(48:22):
calls out is she's like, oh, these millennials are scared
of mayonnaise for health reasons, but they'll eat raw fish. Right.
She can't deal with the idea of sushi and the
fact that it's healthy. Yeah, I don't know. This is
what conservative ism is at its core, is conserving tastes,
conserving ideals. Right. It's the kind of thing where a
(48:45):
dude would be like, I do no yoga, right, that's
freaky ship, Right, I'm gonna sucking just lift some weights, man,
leave me aligned you know, polates, What am I fucking
fucking weirdo. It happens in sports too, where like soccer
still hasn't totally caught on because people see that as
like a European they just fall down all the time. Yeah,
can fucking kick a ball that hard? Motherfucker? Yeah? I mean,
(49:08):
I'm telling you, if the thing that really to another
one the second you try and actually do what you
see on the screen, is the second those people will
begin respecting that as a sport because you can't run
it full speed of the ball and not like weird
or like control anyway, I can get the whole thing.
But yeah, it is true that even with food or whatever,
where someone will be like, you know, there's some burger
and they're like, can I not get the whatever chippotle
(49:31):
blah blah blah, and there I just I like it
playing right. You're not going to turn into a liberal
all of a sudden because you ate food from another
country and you want to start caring about other people
all of a sudden, you know, God for fucking big.
But I do think taste is like there's a reason
we call our preferences for all things taste. Is it
really like it is the first thing that we have
(49:53):
personal almost cultural preferences for. So yeah, but now everything
is Asian, right, everything is fusion erasion. You know, you
get tacos their Asian. Now Korea it's a town. Now
there's a China town. Yet I don't know, so everything
is Asian. I don't have a passport. Yeah, I don't
(50:16):
need one. I don't need I'm not going anywhere in
the best place in the world. Uh well, yeah, one
way or another. There's a reason we've talked more about
this article than any single article in the history of
the show. Is the perfect She captured the zeitgeist in
one article. And I'm just gonna tweet at her right now,
go yo, is this satire? Hey? Your job? I can't
(50:39):
tell how you do your job? What are you being
serious or kidding? All right, we're gonna take a quick
break to it for a response from her. We'll be
right back, and we're bad act And Brett Kavanaugh. Yes,
(51:04):
So this dude was nominated for the Supreme Court, Like
what when was that? Like a couple of years ago?
It seems like a month ago, so uh, like it's
twenty nineteen, right, right, right, So his confirmation hearing is
probably going to be happening in the next couple of months.
(51:24):
And I mean, they're fucking they won't even let the
archives release all the documents he's tied to because well, yeah,
he had his hands in all kinds of ship. Meanwhile,
I just have to point out when Elena Kagan was
up for nomination, the Conservatives got every single fucking document
they had to to hold that ship up. But for
whatever reason. Now you know you don't you know, we
don't know, mostly because this is the dude who if
(51:47):
if it goes to the Supreme Court of whether or
not the president can be subpoenaed or has to cooperate
in this investigation, he's gonna be the woman's like not
fam right, he's very pro executive power when that executive
is not Bill Clinton, very pro baseball to so VEHB
pro baseball. So he has or had racked up two
(52:09):
hundred thousand dollars in debt buying Washington Nationals tickets, which
seems like a weird thing you would here about on
like a hoarders show, Like it's just this like bizarre
prefer healthy like he's he's just like buying a bunch
of seats, like doesn't even use them or something. Because
you you looked up how much National season tickets for
(52:31):
the Inside Dugout Club, which would like the highest selectable
ticket plan for the Nationals was season six hundred sixty six,
five hundred dollars, And he's up two hundred thousand dollars
over like ten years. But still even if you even
if you had to season tickets for ten years behind
(52:52):
pay at all for them, like, well, this is the thing.
So the Washington Post first reported about it, and so
they asked the White House. They're like, yo, what's good?
Why is this man spending so much money on tickets?
And raj Shaw responding he was saying like, yeah, he
goes to games with that quote handful of friends, and
like these friends then reimbursed him for the tickets and
all the debts have been paid off, which is probably true.
(53:13):
I think they found this through like other documents or whatever.
But that may be fine. But yo, who is he
going with and who is he schmoozing with? And is
that going to lead to some conflict of interest? What
kind of tax ship is he doing? Like is he
trying to show this as a They don't know. It's
just a weird thing for that much money to be
spent on the nationals. Just poor decision making as well,
(53:34):
you know, just like why are you spending And he
didn't have to sit there childish, it's so silly. It's
so that's what I would do with my Like, if
I had that money, that's what I would do with
that money. And I shouldn't be a Supreme Court justice
because I make decisions like that right, right, right, exactly, Yeah, yeah,
I just picture him with a foam finger at the
(53:55):
game like that, that sort of fandom, just like just
total baseball helmet with ice creaming and skills it on
his robes. He has, he has to wear the robout
in public, well in the mascot and racism down the
field with this fucking presidents. It's justice speed run as
(54:16):
fast as you can. But yeah, the Pro Publico was
also putting out a piece where they're like, did you
go to a Nationals game with a Supreme Court nominee
Brett Kavanaugh? Like we need to know what the funk
is going on with this because they just like there
has he got some splaining to do And in the
article they're like, they go down the way, here's what
we do. It always kind of funny. We know he
(54:36):
bought season tickets at the end of sixteen, likely for
seventeen season. He also bought tickets to some playoff games.
He might not have been sitting in the same seats
for those. He's reportedly gone to games in the past
with U S District Judge James E. Bosberg and Obama
nominee who is his ex roommate from law school. He's
been photographed at least twice wearing blue striped polo shirts.
So have you seen this man? Were the stripes for icle?
(55:01):
A middle aged white man at a baseball game wearing
a blue striped polo shirt. If so, contact Pro Publica
immediately and that was the end of that publication. But
I think there's his daughter sitting next in this photo
they do have of him. She looks bored out of
her fucking mind. It looks like a kid who was
dragged to a baseball game. Although when I was back
(55:24):
East hanging out with my dad, he was watching a
lot of baseball, and I'm now just uh, I'm back
into baseball's background, was just having it on tune in
and out. It's great completely, So all right, yeah, so
national's holler at a jack exactly. So Peter Struck was fired.
(55:45):
Apparently this was not you know, they asked the FBI
somebody who would know how you should handle the things
that he did, and he was like, yeah, he should
be demoted and sus ended for I think a few months, right,
and have a disciplinary hearing too. Instead of doing that,
(56:06):
they just fired him. And Peter Strock is the guy
who had the text messages that the you know, everyone
on the GOP tries to be like, we're gonna stop him,
and they're like, you see the FBI, I has been
against him in the deep state, blah blah blah. And
then he went guy. Yeah. Then he went into the
hearing in front of the House Intel Committee and just
owned everybody like he was just like, nah, fam like,
I'm not a partisan. I said that because of these things,
(56:26):
because the president is dangerous in these ways. But yeah,
now he's fired. So that doesn't smack of a politically
motivated firing at all. So he was taken off the
Mueller investigation right like, and then just put back into
the FBI and fired him. That's ridiculous. He was off
the team and they were doing the right thing. They
demoted him, they took him off the thing where there
(56:47):
was a conflict of interest, and then they just fired him.
What it was today, right? Yeah? I think they we
found out today, but he was told I think Friday. There,
I thought he had already been fired, but that was
Andrew Cape. It's hard to keep track of all the
FBI people that have been fired. There's been a lot. Uh.
And finally I just wanted to give a shout out
to my fellow leftys. Uh, it is an International left
(57:09):
handed Person's Day. They've got to have a better name
than that. But yeah, well, I think left handedness is interesting.
I right and do like small things lefty, and then
play sports and do big things righty. But you throw
left handed? Yeah no, I throw ready, I I right,
all right? You right left hand, do small things lefty.
But basically I have all the disadvantages of being lefty,
(57:33):
but none of the advantages because being lefty in sports
is great because south Yeah, yeah, you'll have to play catcher. Yeah,
you're awkward guard in basketball. Um, but yeah, I think
left handedness is interesting. Like, uh, six and less thirteen
presidents were left handed, even though we only make up
(57:53):
temper under the population. Uh, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
are lefty. I think it's there's a theory that dyslexic
people are a larger portion of the billionaire entrepreneur population
than they should be, Like, you know, they only make
up a small percentage of the population, but it's like
(58:15):
of billionaire entrepreneurs are dyslexic, and the theory on that
is that because you're dyslexic you have to like learn
these like hacks to get through life, like different ways
to like approach problems. And that contributes to what kind
of hacks are you coming up with, like being like, Hi,
I have to sit at the end of the table
during this meal so my elbow doesn't hack. Yeah, you
(58:38):
have to learn how to use scissors differently, you have
to learn how to, like my writing, I have to
like curl my arm all the way around. I think
I think it's a very Yeah, your mind is just
programmed differently. I think I think it's just a very
mild form that essentially, Uh, well, my mom's left handed
(58:58):
and I The only thing that I really took from
that is she would always be like I have sit
at the end of the table. Yeah, because there's all now,
is it? It's also the best seat at the table. Yeah.
She might have just started using her left hand to
sit at the end of the table. I don't know. Really,
all power to her. That's great because I caught her
writing with her right anyway. That's another one that's called
a cliffhanger. Don't don't dun blake. It's been a pleasure
(59:22):
having you. Thank you. Where can people find you? Fully?

Luma Comedy Festival this weekend in Pedaluma, California. So yeah,
(59:42):

the Jets tweet just desperately do this? Uh yeah, where
(01:00:14):
can people find you? You can find me on Twitter
and Instagram at Miles of Gray. In a tweet that
I laughed at was more of a video of Justin
Bieber dancing real weird like locking and ship at the show.
But someone like retweeted the video and said, Justin Bieber
dance like a downtown Oakland crackhead, and it looks like
he's got like the washed old man like locking it's weird.
(01:00:37):
It's weird. It looks like a guy whose ego has
betrayed his actual sense, like to giving himself an objective
idea of how well he can dance, and he's just
too gassed up, and it's just like, okay, alright, justin
he passed the point of no return, like I'm dancing, yeah,
because I got Christ in my veins. Tweet I enjoyed
(01:00:57):
was from Johnny Sun, who tweeted, you agree to have
your years sorted algorithmically instead of chronologically, you experience all
your most exciting and memorable moments first. The algorithm hides
all your negative and lackluster ones. Your entire years four
days long. You suddenly have no idea who you are.
I think it's a good description on social media. Yeah,

Hello the Internet, and welcome to season forty four, Episode
one of Their Day Night Geist for Monday, August thirteen,
two thousand eighteen. My name is Jack O'Brien a K.
The year It's tift one. White genocide has eliminated all
traces of the Irish race, all save one and the
ruins of South Boston. One Irish dad struggles to feat
(00:22):
his family as war threatens from all sides. One irishman
will take a stand this summer. Mark Wahlberg is Sola
dead obrah. Thank you to al Borgie Jeff Van funds
me on Twitter, and thanks to Van the old park
(00:43):
in the eye for calling that one out as an
a K and yeah I'm throwed. We joined as always
by my co host, Mr Miles Graces. All Side. It's
all Side, All Side, this News with Mr Myles Alright
at Scott Bennett. You know, I love you too, except
(01:05):
my favorite album is Zoopa, so you know better the
best album on YouTube because I love that song. That
was actually my favorite. That was the first YouTube song
I ever, like my dad thought I wasn't an alright,
was the one where was the edge like sort of
wraps like talk things. I think that was the first one.
I like, oh really yeah, and it's not a very
good I wonder if that going back and listening to it,
(01:26):
I just remember just bonded like Limo, Limo, All right,
now get pales in comparison. You just you opened up
some fucking core mc McCarthy novel or you're taking and
I'm just doing old racist core mcmccarthy, old Raco. Well,
we are thrilled to be joining in our third seed
(01:46):
by the hilarious stand up comedian Blake wax Lot. Thank you,
thank you man. I'm great. It's funny looking around the studio.
If I didn't know how smart and great this podcast is,
it looks like the worst podcast, just piles of vloids
and then just burious open mins with a couple left spinners.
(02:06):
Yeah spinners. When people come in with no context, I
think they're like and then I opened it up by
shouting and like a really insulting German accent and right
like start backing out of the room. I always watched
when it's a new guest, when you do that and
watch them go, they either go they just their stoic
(02:26):
or sometimes they just do a slight like oh okay,
this is a vibe. They pick up their phone and
start looking at it like, um, little do they know
the doors locked from the outside. Uh, well, Blake, We're
going to get to know you a little bit better.
But first we're going to tell our listeners what they're
in store for you guys, surprised. Almar Rosa is a
(02:48):
little bit messy. Nobody saw that coming. We're gonna talk
about the worst case scenario for when you try to
pull that can I get a cup for water scam
at a place that has soda fountains. We are going
to talk about how the Unite the Right to rally
did not go that great. It was not super impressive.
(03:10):
That's disappointing. I know we were all looking forward to it. Uh.
We're gonna talk about two articles that people are passing
around today. One is from Steven Miller's uncle and the
other is from the City of Philadelphia. It's about the
mayonnaise Wars. We'll get into it, you guys, it's amazing.
(03:30):
We're gonna talk of white genocide. Uh exactly. This is
the first step. We're gonna talk about Brett Kavanaughs weird
uh two hundred thousand dollar bill that he racked up
for Washington Nationals tickets, the Peter Struck firing, and the
fact that it is International Lefties Day. Uh yeah, shout
(03:54):
out to fellow lefties Flanders. But first, Blake, we like
to ask our guest, what is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? I would have
to say, Um, recently, it was how long until sunburn
goes away? And oh, actually, how long until purple sunburn?
(04:17):
It was bad. Purple sunburn is when you don't go
out in the sun a lot. And uh you I
got burnt so bad. It wasn't read. It was almost
a beautiful shade of magenta, a tragic shade of magenta.
And uh that's what I looked up. And where'd you
get it? I actually got it in Ocean City, New
(04:38):
Jersey on your body neck. Oh I'm sorry. Uh the
Ocean City, New Jersey, part of my body, my torso
that was a much better too, because they have tramps
stamps on that boardwalk. Um but uh no, yeah, it
was on like my uh my, my belly, my Tom.
Tom didn't get a lot of it was like a
(04:59):
legit burn. It was beyond burn. I felt it in
my organs like it was. It was so and humiliating
because I should know better, you know what I mean,
Like this happens once every six years, so yeah, I
should know a lot better. Um, what is something that
you think is overrated? Overrated? I think all the hate
(05:20):
on emotional support animals I think is overrated. I think
the hate should be on people who aren't responsible with them.
Where my girlfriend and I travel with dog and he
has uh an emotional support pass, and the hate that
you get when you walk onto a plane with a
dog because assholes just let their dogs run around the plane,
(05:41):
which is rude, Like that's the problem. People are allergic
to dogs. But I just think if the dogs just
sitting there in the corner, you know, I don't have
a problem with it. So I think that hate is overrated.
I think they should they should dial it back for
the pups. Interesting. Yeah, I had to travel once with
my dog and my girlfriend her majesty, she got an
emotional support pass for the thing, and I'm just so
(06:01):
like overly considerate, Like I'm in a panic. I'm like
if the dog barks, I'm going to be so mortified
and bringing all this attention upon myself and like inconveniencing
other people that like, I was just in a like
a state of panic the entire time, and like every
time the dog barked, like I was just losing it. Then,
to make things worse, the second we got off the plane,
(06:22):
dog about almost like the wildest ship, like right off
the gate, and I had to catch it with my
bare hand. Know I literally Chris Carter one hand scooped
that ship out like before it hit the ground, both
feet and yeah, literally, because I just couldn't live with
being like, oh, now I'm the guy whose dog just
took a ship in the airport too, right, There's so
(06:42):
I get a lot of panic because whenever when you
don't expect the dog to bark in a certain context,
it is so jarring for me, especially at airport. Yeah,
I have that panic. But you know, no, hey, if
you could control your animal, more power to you. It's
these other people who just literally bring a dog on
because they don't like it's a workaround for being able
to like skirt like actually boarding the dog or whatever.
And I have a problem with you. Yeah, I agree
(07:04):
with that. And you don't need it to be emotional support,
or do you now? Because we used to travel with
our dog that was like very small. It's like the
runt of the litter. And we got her specifically, you know,
the smallest of the litter, because there was like a
size constraint that you couldn't travel with. And uh so
the reason she was the runt is because she actually
(07:25):
had like health problems that we didn't know about. And
one time we brought her on the plane and she
was not feeling great and escaped from the little carrying bag,
ran to first class and took a wild deuce in
first class right in the aisle. Is my worst and
they almost had to land the fucking plane. It was like,
(07:48):
this is unsanitary. It was the worst experience of my list.
He's a mix um. He's like part Australian cattle dog
par whip it. But he's like a mid size storry,
like we get hot high off of Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
he's he's part teenager huffing. You got all those crackers
(08:10):
you put into an old ball Zach balloon in high school,
shout out to the ball Zack remember that. No, I
don't remember. Ball Zach was a thing from the early
nineties that was a philosopher. No what's that? What he
did for it was like a huge like do you
remember talking, was like neon green and it had like
checkered patterns, just a big fucking balloon with a fabric
(08:31):
around it that people were like, it's a ball zack. Oh,
I actually I do, I do know what you're saying.
They have like the rubber band on it. Yeah, they
had one to have the rubber band on it and
you would put whip it in there. So yeah, back then,
but by the time we were kids doing whippets, you
just had like the old bladders lying around for like
a ball zach and so that would be good because
you could reuse that to fill with nas or whatever
(08:53):
and he just do nas hits and then the room
starts spitting, all right, cool, So your dog is part that,
of course, I'm sure, yeah, what what? I'm sorry? What's
a whip it? It's like a thin looking dog. W
Jesus Christ. W h I P P E E t
oh Is that even right? I didn't even know that
(09:15):
that's called a whip it. Yeah, it's like a cute,
yeahund kind of dog. It does look a little gray, handy,
but like our dogs, like a little thicker you know what.
I'm like, yeah, alright, right right, thickness, Blake, what is
something you think is underrated? Underrated? To go to my
previous point, beach umbrellas, and I think I think it
(09:37):
makes the beach a lot more enjoyable. Hell yeah, I
mean there's no question about that. I'm sick of the song.
It's just like, who's trying to get tan now, you
know when you're like heading into your thirty Like, there's
no need that everybody. Yeah, there are so many leathery
motherfucker's on the Jersey Shore. Yes, it's the leather like
(09:57):
a leather weathered white person's ski in like that you
just want to pull to see if it's Yeah, you know,
the umbrella is a good thing. As kids, we never
thought about it because you just don't give a ship.
But as you're more like I need shade, and you
go to find you stuff at the beach at like
eleven in the morning, You're like, I am exposed for
this entire day. Those little half tent outdoor things are
(10:21):
pretty chilled. Yeah, those are important. We needed to get those.
At our beach trip. Blake and I were on the
Jersey Shore on the same island and didn't know it,
no clue, but yeah we had to despite all the press. Yeah,
I mean he's all plugged. What's weird? He shows up
at the restaurant, You show up thirty minutes later. He
(10:43):
needs twenty minutes before, of course, following an unmarked black cart. Whatever,
no reservations? Uh blake. Finally, what does the myth? What's
something people think is true that you know it to
be false? This is just going with the summer beach
five traveling, relaxing. Mine myth is that vacations are actually relaxing.
I can't relax on vacations at all. I keep working,
(11:05):
or if I'm not working, I'm like, well, the industry
has forgotten about being. They've totally forgotten. Um not that
they think about me that much anyway, but whatever thoughts
were in their head. I have just issues or I
don't with creative stuff, like you start thinking about ideas
and I'm like, oh, I need to write these down,
and then if I don't, then I look back negatively
(11:26):
upon my time, you know, try and relax, because yeah,
I don't know if that's a thing where if you
reach a certain point in your career you stopped doing
that but um, yeah, I hope so. Or does that
never end? Uh? I don't think it ends. We'll call
Bob oden Kirk and get his thoughts right. Uh. And
having kids makes it even less a vacation, I will say,
(11:48):
oh yeah, because it's just an opportunity to cram your
entire family that you're usually able to spread out over
a household into a single room. And because the naps
or wraps and just you know, availability of space. Whether
you're staying at a hotel or staying with a relative,
you don't have multiple rooms to stay. You're just in
(12:09):
the thunderdome. Right. Well, guys, we got a lot of
news to cover. Amar Rossa back. Reality TV continues to
define the zeitgeist, you guys, whether it's Kim Kardashian saying
someone isn't interesting to look at, or you know, the
President being a reality TV star and turning the presidency
into a reality show. Uh. And now we have, you know,
(12:31):
somebody worked for him in the White House who is
only known because of her work on a reality show,
not success, just being, as Kim Kardashian pointed, interesting to
look at. That is the most important trait you can have. Uh.
And Amar Rossa is definitely interesting to look at. She's
back and she's messy. Yes, she's got a book coming out.
(12:52):
She does, so we know what The playbook is a
stirrup as much ship as possible to get people talking
about you and the book. I don't know. Off top
of the White House, like everything and there's a lie,
there's nothing true, Like they were very very clear that
everything in there just basically slanderous or whatever. But you know,
she kicked off her pressed to her pretty impressively by
leaking two recorded conversations she had during her time there,
(13:15):
and it was like being so messy. She's like, they're like, oh, i'mbrose,
do you have more recordings and she just looks and goes, oh,
yes I do. And it's really treat like really acting
like a villain from it, like I'm back, Well, I'm
ready to fuck things up. I think I remember her
original season on the Apprentice, and that was sort of
what she did. She was just like, oh, I'm going
(13:36):
to be a villain, Like she just got it immediately,
Like but this is with the government now, you know,
like you're taking her out of this medium that ultimately
doesn't matter. I don't think her and Trump know they're
in the government and they're defense, they don't know it's
a new set that they're working on, right, right, right,
it's on a different set. Where are the cameras and um?
But yeah, it's this is what happens when you put
(13:58):
people like this in actual decision making capacities that affects
other people's lives. So, yeah, the first one she talks about,
you know, she had a recording of when Chief of
Staff John Kelly fired her, and it's a pretty long
clip that they have or whatever. But the thing that's
interesting about this one, aside from him just hearing, he's
basically sort of like does like a that kind of
(14:20):
jeezer up sort of being like, look, let's make this
as nice as possible because we don't want to make
things difficult for you after this. Yeah, like okay, all right,
I'll be cool. But what this apparently happened in the
fucking situation room. So she recorded a conversation in one
of the most sensitive areas of the West wing where
you know, that's where like Obama watched the bin Laden
(14:42):
hit job. Basically, yeah, whatever if they got him, but yeah,
like a lot of ships accident, but it just shows
you this room where so many important things have happened.
You just can wander in there with your phone or whatever,
just make her recording. Whatever. So we found out that
she got fired and it was whatever. Then the second
clip that she dropped, I think it was either yesterday
(15:03):
today was a phone call with her and Trump where
he acts so zero MG surprised that she was fired.
So apparently she was fired and she and the things.
She's like, does the president know about this? And Jonka
is like, look, this is in a negotiable situation, like
just like you know, tough guyser, So that's your shame
if something happened to your reputation. Yeah, essentially specifically he
(15:23):
said that, yeah, sparkling reputation like an actual reality star villain.
This is the recording that she made when she talks
with the President Trump right after being fired. MOROSSA, what's
going on on the news that you're thinking about leaving?
What happened? General Kelly? General Kelly came to me and
said that you guys wanted me to leave. No, I
(15:46):
had nobody even told me about it. You know, the operation,
but I didn't know it. I didn't know that. Damn it.
I don't love you a damn it. I mean, okay,
So you can look at that called on. You can
(16:07):
look at that one of two ways. One is that
he actually knows nothing about what's going on in his
own administration and General Kelly just calls all the shots,
which is likely. The other is that he totally knew,
and just because he doesn't, he's not really confrontational and
he wants to be able to be the good guy,
acting like all surprised about it, like he didn't even know, like,
oh really, the goddamn god, damn it, damn Oh yeah,
(16:32):
you're so upset. That was one of the worst performances
I've ever seen, like just as a liar, but that
was just not good. And he is, if nothing else,
a well practiced liar, Like he lets out much better
lives than that. Yeah, I think they are, like certain
lives he's comfortable with or has convinced himself are true,
(16:53):
and this just didn't happen to be one of those.
Like he was like, Okay, she's fired, Okay, let me
get on the phone with her and going on, what
am I reading about? Oh my god, damn it. And
then as we were laughing, you can hear him say,
I don't love you leaving at all. Uh, that's such
a weird way to describe that. Mostly you'll hire me
back again. Okay, I go, I gotta go and hold
(17:15):
on my big Max here. Yeah, I don't know. Look,
this sort of underlines the whole problem with this administration too,
is because now she's out and she's talking all this
ship Trump is on Twitter coming at her intelligence, you know,
typical playbook when it comes to people of color who
are have any opinion on the presidents, question their intelligence.
But you know, after that, the media, you know, rightfully
(17:37):
noticed what has always been obviously like wait, not a
lot of people of color that are working at the
highest level in that White House administration. H So, you know,
on the Sunday shows, Kelly and Conway was out there
and I think she was on I forget which which
of the Sunday shows, basically being asked a question, hey,
can you name some people of color that work with
the president, And it was a little you know, she
(18:00):
she didn't have many ideas, and um, the Amor Rossa
was the most prominent high level African Americans serving in
the West Wing on President Trump's staff, who now, is
that person who is the most prominent high level advisor
to the president on the West wing staff right now
African American? Yes, I would say that. Well, first of all,
(18:23):
you're you're totally uh not covering the fact that our
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and world renowned I'm
asking you about the White House staff. I'm asking what
the people the president is with every day. He's that
he's well, the President works as Secretary of Carson every day.
He's trying to break the back of the White House
staff right now. And you we have Geron who's done
(18:44):
a fabulous job and very involved with He's been very
involved with Jared Kushner and President Trump on prison reform
at the beginning. He's been there from the beginning. He
worked with Amar Rossa and others of us. Does he
have an office in the West wing? Killing has an
office on the in the e O P. Absolutely, the
Executive Office of the President. Yes, but but but not
in the West wing. What does that say that not
a single senior advisor in the West Wing who's African American.
(19:07):
I didn't say that there wasn't, but hold on me.
There there are plenty of people. If you're if you're
if you're going by that and not by the actions
of the president, which you probably should, then then you
should look at the fact that we have a number
of different minorities and the fact is that this president
is doing well for all Americans. Yeah, okay, m m.
(19:30):
I mean just look at all the people he appoints
to like judicial nominations are I think he has a
thing for white guys. I think it's easy to say. Ye.
At first, I thought I thought she was making up Geron.
I was like, oh, hell no, you just made up
there's a man named Geron Smith who works with Jared
Kushner like as a executive aid. But who knows in
(19:51):
what real capacity that actually is. But you know, again,
it's not surprising when you look at just you know again,
if you if she's saying, look at the actions of
the president, well, then I think that would also be
clear to look at the actions of our most rights.
So did you see him, Well, he had all those
bikers at the White House this weekend, and the one
(20:12):
dude had a patch that said I like guns and titties,
just prominently on his best parents. He's not necessarily in
that order. Yeah, but it was, but in that order,
he's like he's got his arm around these bikers and
the dude, one of the dudes patch, He's like like,
uh not that his bass is all Harley Davidson riders.
But didn't he do something like over the weekend where
(20:36):
he's like split He actually started talking trash on Harley
Davidson right, because they're going to take some of their
operations overseas because of EU terror sence, and now Harley
Davidson riders, Like, well do I like my bike more? Yeah?
Racist for a boycott? I mean like Trump is only
at most wouldn't be president for eight years total. Those
Harley's though, this whole trademark that sound. Yeah, you know,
(21:00):
if you take care of it and get their oil changed,
if you can do that with a motorcycle, then they'll
they'll hold up for years. I wonder how many. I
don't know what other bike would you ride? A fucking
Yamaha baby, that's too foreign? Yeah, that's too foreign, like
a Royal Endfield to English to European. I don't know anyway,
I don't know about motorcycles. I thought you would jack.
(21:21):
You strike me as a big hog guy, the wild
handlebars like it's great airs. You out ride one to
work every day. That's actually a bird scooter whatever, Tomato,
Toto Harley bird scooter. Alright, we're gonna take a quick break.
(21:43):
We'll be right back. And we're back. And I don't
know about you, guys. I was refreshing my phone pretty
regularly yesterday waiting for, you know, all hell to break
loose on the Unite the Right to rally in Washington,
(22:07):
d C. They decided to have it right across the
street from the White House. I don't know how they
figured they'd get away with that with this president of ours, who's,
as you can tell just looking at his behaviors and
his actions, if not his hiring practices, he's the least
racist person ever. But so you know the idea, I
think they had permitted for four hundred uh Neo Nazis
(22:32):
and skinheads and white Nationals. No, no, not not officially.
We're not allowed with them. When you put the speaker
list too. They were new Nazis. Uh so they were
expecting four hundred uh, and they drew was it for less?
It was about two dozen people, maybe a little more
(22:55):
hundred or two hundreds. Yeah, So it was between two
dozen and forty that they actually had come out to
you know, I think people last year after uh you know,
they all showed up in their white shirts and uh
no masks, which was really the most surprising part of
(23:18):
their decision, their their decor at the Unite the Right
rally of the first one, they were just like, this
is cool, now, right, everyone the right, and then a
bunch of them got fired on my communities as being
hateful racists and uh now that apparently did people. People
weren't fond of of how that went down, that nobody
(23:38):
showed up completely tanked. I mean not that like there
was any stock or social cachet, but being a white nationalist,
but like people were definitely like, yo, I can't be
out here like that, Like I'm not that down with it.
I mean, because I think he could only find about
thirty people who are that ignorant and shameless to go
out and be like, yeah, we're sucking here for the
Unite the Right to the count to protesters. However, they
(24:01):
came on the thousands, so you know, it's very clear
that I think, you know, one is less meaningful, let's say,
less sexy to the general public, but I think Jason Kessler, man,
he's had a lot of problems too, because the other
thing that this whole failure of the Unite the Right
rally shows is there there's a lot of fracturing going
on in this whole right community where like they don't
know how who to follow, who actually is the leader.
(24:24):
Half of them are getting scrubbed off of Twitter and
things like that, so it's become a very fractured and
Jason Kessler like he's burned a lot of bridges in
the neo Nazi community because there are people like on
a gap they're like, you know chat site that they
can talk shit on. They're all being like, no, this
guy has no manpower. No one follows him anymore, Like
I advise you to not go. It's gonna be dangerous. Uh.
And you know, he's also like he hasn't been able
(24:46):
to fundraise, like on any kind of website that makes
it easier to collect funds from people, so he's basically
limited to like cash and check donations, so he's has
less and less organizing power. And so it was kind
of like on right Wing Watch, our boy Jared Holt
was always saying like this is probably gonna be a
flop just from the onset based on how nobody's really
like with each other on the same side anymore compared
(25:07):
to last year, because Kesler is the guy who organized
the UH last year. Chott. Yeah, I mean that's the
problem with your movement being fully obsessed with categorizing people
and hating them, Like, you're going to have some divisions
that open up, and some of those people aren't going
to be fully on board with your type of white nationalism. Um. Yeah.
(25:31):
One one of the white nationalists or neo Nazis was
mad because Jason Kessler had like a non white person
working like at a higher level with him, and he's
like not to mention that, like there's not even all
white people in his organization. Yeah. So something I didn't realize.
Richard Spencer, who likes to focus his brand of white
nationalism and white supremacy on claiming that it's like all
(25:54):
about European culture and like different people coming from European
nations and having something especial. I didn't realize that over
the past year he has been banned from like most
European countries. Yeah, he can't not allowed to go there.
A lot of those people can't. Yeah, people are kind
of running away from this movement. That's how fractured it is.
By the way, is that so few people want to
join the movement that they have to hire minority right,
(26:17):
I don't fill these white positions, right, Like not even
this as a movie Backlansman shows, right, the plot of
that they just got. It's you know, the other aspect
of this is, you know, last year they had a
lot of paramilits. They militias like pull up at the
Unite the Right thing like oath keepers and stuff like
that to you know, protect them. And you could see
(26:38):
like that site was pretty out there when you saw
all these dudes in this tactical gear and being like, yeah,
we're aligned with this group. But because of that fall out,
those militias that you have even like pulled away from
kind of being out there because the optics like aren't
really helping them. And I was reading this piece, which
which is kind of interesting, is like how the militias
have kind of lost their way now that Trump is
president because even with like Bush two and Clinton and Obama,
(27:02):
they were able to like have this like it's this
like neo globalist you know, conspiracy to bleed America dry
and blah blah blah, and like so we gotta be
ready and like so when Trump was running, they were
all like, yeah, this is our guy. This is our guy.
And a lot of analysts were like, if Hillary Clinton wins,
I think we need to really be prepared for what
the fallout was gonna look like with these militias and
things like that. But then he won, and now they're
(27:25):
kind of like have an identity crisis because they're like, wait,
our guy is in power, so what do we do
we hate? Yeah, and like and they were started tracking,
like first it was anti fuck because then it was
easy to be like, oh yeah, okay, we're diametrically opposed,
and then that kind of fell off, so then it
was immigrants, then Muslims, and now the new thing is
they're just obsessed with the civil war, like that's the
(27:45):
next thing that they've given themselves, Like, Okay, we're gonna
be ready for this, like libs verse conservatives race war.
Drudge was trying to popularize the whole anti anti thing
yesterday because like a lot of the top headlines were
like it's and ugly out there, and then it would
be like a video of Antifa, like pushing a camera
away or something like um. And then a lot of
(28:06):
places we're writing that shipped up, like in the coverage
of this like of open white supremacy in this country,
they're getting mad at like Antifa for clashing with like
other like when you saw, like importantly a few weeks ago,
the police Definitely from what I saw, like what the
reporting was, they seemed to be much more aggressive with
like the counter protesters, and they were with like the
white nationalists, And a lot of the coverage is more
(28:29):
focused on what they're doing rather than these white nationalists
who are out here, you know, spreading all this hatred.
So the coverage of it was a little odd to
me too, from some place, not everybody, but yeah, and
I mean I think there's also a sense in which
they overplayed their hand a little bit, Like I mean,
there there are people who are invigorated by Trump's you know,
election and feeling like, okay, now I can you know,
(28:51):
let my racist inner thoughts and feelings out into the open.
And they did that last year, and they sort of
overplayed their hand, and you know a lot of them
fired from their jobs, and uh, you know there I
think there's also like when when you watch that Vice
documentary last year with that guy was like we got
all the guns, and we got all this and like,
(29:12):
you know, just talking with his chest out like he
was about to go whoop some mess. And I was
very you know, angry and seemed sure of himself. And
then the next video we saw of him, he was
weeping and being like I'm so scared, Please don't hurt
me about the cops because he got in trouble for
being openly violent. I just feel like when your movement
(29:35):
is about violence and a very very limited worldview, you're
not going to have very stable leadership a lot of
the time. And there's another guy who was very I
forget where the article was, but it was a guy
who wrote for you know, a mainstream outlet who used
this right wing kind of mainstay as a source. And
(29:58):
over the past year that's disappeared because he actually stabbed
his father to death. Like was that the guy in Oregon? Yeah?
Or Washington, Washington Northwest? Right? Yeah. So it's like, you
know a lot of these people who were big personalities
and who were you know, out there pushing this point
(30:18):
of view, they don't last long in the public eye
for any number of reasons, when it just shows you
that they're rallying, Like the thing that brings them together
is literal hatred and violence. That's not Most people are
pretty chill, you know, they're not wired like you know,
you'll you'll have people who are very angry, and you
can get those people. But that's but you look at
the counter protesters, they are they rally around the idea
(30:40):
of of inclusion and unity and like empathy. That's a
that's a much more broader audience for them than like,
hey man, you fucking hate immigrantsmen and beat some people.
Oh no, like really, I'm not dead, Like I'd rather
just you know, shame some racists. It's harder, it's harder
to get behind that point of view now more than ever,
(31:01):
because you can't burn all the books like in you know,
there's still the internet, and like eventually, like the internet
can be bad if you just get in to like
one small group where everybody's talking crazy, but like eventually
you can go out and do your own research and
uh doesn't look good. Uh there there's also Stephen Miller's
(31:22):
uncle just published an article where it's almost surprising how
basic it was he was just like, hey, so our
great grandfather came here because of you know, there were
anti Semitic programs and like, uh, he was trying to
escape like just horrible treatment in his home country and
he came through Ellis Island and then he like worked
(31:44):
and paid for his you know, to pay your great
grandfather to like come over and it's basically chained migration.
And he's like, so, how are you going to It's
just like this ideology that these groups and that like
you're Stephen Miller's of the world kind of a spouse
is just like so transparently, just like it doesn't hold
(32:05):
up scrutiny that I don't know, it seems like every
time they just get put down or you know, every
time someone points out the insanity of their argument, it's like, yeah,
that's pretty obviously turns it out. And that whole letter
is it's like he's just like I'm ashamed to him.
He knows better, like he and like the thing that
(32:26):
was really to that point is like he points out
that Stephen Miller is well aware of their family's history
like coming from like a stettle in what is now
Belarus like to coming here and the articles almost like
my man, how the funk are you even thinking like
this knowing our family's history right like that, this is
this exact kind of policy that could have gotten you know,
(32:47):
our ancestors killed, and we wouldn't even be here. You
wouldn't even be at Santa Monica High School being like
I think the janitors need to speak English. Anybody with me? Uh?
And that's why I'm running for student president. Which is
like one of his speeches that he made. Yeah, she's
a legendary YouTube clip him in high school. Yeah, I
mean the cowardice of like getting over the wall from
like a danger and like pulling the ladder up behind
(33:09):
you is Yeah, it's just obvious. It's like, yeah, man,
that's not a good look, um. And I don't think
they ever cared that it would be a good look,
you know, or even thought that. Like that's like the
most infuriating part of all of this. It's like, yeah,
he doesn't care, like he knows that his family comes
from a long line of immigrants. He doesn't care, like
(33:29):
he pulled the rope back, you know what I mean,
Like this is just what's going to keep happening. And
when he gets called like oh. Yeah. By the way,
what you do is illogical. It's like, yeah, obviously it's illogical.
None of it is logical. Hate is not logical. It's
just all self serving things. And I don't think this
will like, oh, Stephen Miller is not a great guy.
Holy shit, thank you uncle Miller. Um. Yeah. I think
(33:52):
most people who come to America, like you know, when
you ask all these people, I think pretty much everyone
has a backstory about yeah, they came here for a
better opportunity at some point, even if you're one of
these daughters of the Revolution type people, like, there are
people still coming here because they're like, oh, I'm not
feeling this place. I'm coming here and this will this
will offer me the opportunity. But it's easy to forget that.
(34:13):
I think the only person who came to America and
just to not escape anything bad was Prince Akim in
coming to America because he was just looking for Shorty right,
thank you king shit ye, yes, fuck you too. Uh So,
from the really obvious white supremacy to the less obvious,
(34:38):
we wanted to talk about this article that when you
read the headline, and it's basically when you read every
word of it, it really seems like a piece of
just on the nose satire um. But it so. It's
an article from an American food columnist writing in Philadelphia Magazine,
and it's called how Millennials Killed Mayonnaise. M you mean
(35:01):
the subhead is the inexorable rise of identity condiments has
led to hard times for the most American of food stuff,
and that's a shame. And then there's an animation of
a guy in like Bow's headphones just stabbing it with
a spreadable knight Helmond spraying everywhere. Yeah. Uh so we
start with a rundown of how she's noticed that people
(35:24):
stopped eating her dishes at family barbecues, and from that
she draws the conclusion that it's because of identity politics
and because millennials don't think mayonnaise is lit exactly. She
writes about a decade ago, though I began to notice
I was toting home as much of my offerings, as
I concocted, my contributions were being overlooked, were shunned. Oh
(35:49):
so it's a it's a deliberate shunning of her mannaise
based dishes. She seems fun to invite to a barbecue
with a little talents out, what about your politics makes
you not like my food? Yeah? And it's just she's six.
It's so transparent because on one hand, it could be
(36:12):
I don't I still am struggling to know if this
is slightly satirical. But also there are other points that
she makes that sounds like a very upset mother who
is realizing that her kids are getting older they don't
think she's cool anymore. And mannaise sucks. And that is actually,
uh like some kind of metaphor for what else is
going on? Because she breaks down the family's history history
(36:35):
of mayonnaise. She goes into this deep historical reading of
why mayonnaise used to be so important to quote us
as quote Americans because we were quote strivers. Uh, mayo
America NAIs again is what we came up with. That's
really good. That's really good, done and done. Can we
(36:57):
just end there? You can see the text, but she
writes about how American then was full of strivers, like
mom desperate to forget family legacies of lakins and boxed
tase and I'm gonna mispronounce all this ship, but basically
just saying that we were trying to leave behind our
ethnicities for a more like American uniform homogenius type of lifestyle.
(37:21):
And she literally says the word like homogeneity in here,
like that that's what we used to be striving for,
and now we now we all want these like different.
She keeps referring to things as like exotic. That's how
she's describing, like, yeah, exactly, saracha and uh. Then she
(37:43):
gets into the personalities of you know, what's really at state,
what's really going on? My son Jake, who's t eats mayo.
He's a practical young man who works in computers and
adores macaroni salad intel. He's a good son. I also
have a daughter. She was a whim ends in gender
studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise. Okay, she's
(38:06):
not alone, what I mean naturally? Right, right, Well that's typical.
Well you know how feminists hate that condiment. Everyone's on board, right, yeah,
I don't. That's where it becomes. That's where you start
to see, oh, you're becoming very transparent. Now there's your
son who likes your mayonnaise. He's a good boy. Your wacky,
(38:28):
woke as daughter who went off to college learn about
some weird ship like genders fluid or some nonsense. She
don't funk with manonnaise. She's the devil. Yeah, of course not.
It's yeah. Her understanding of her daughter is that she
hates mayonnaise because it's not like exotic enough, because she
can only understand foreign things and other identities as like exotic,
(38:51):
and that's like the only value they could have to
people who embrace them. Uh, it can't be because mayonnaise
is larded egg yolk and salt jelly. Uh you know
that literally looks like the stuff you like clear out
of arteries when you're like trying to save somebody's life. Um,
it's she just thinks it has to be this like
knee jerk frivolous desire for the exotic. Literally, what killed
(39:16):
mayonnaise is a oli, is a hunt, is a hundred
thousand fucking percent what killed that condiment? Because it's just no,
that's not it. Let me tell you why. To her,
she says, young people like my daughters seem to have
extrapolated this masking function of of the of mayonnaise from
condiment to culture for them. Male quite literally whitewashed America's
(39:37):
immigrants into eating old food, and newer generations are refusing
to meekly fall in line with a culinary heritage that
was never there's. Instead, they're gobbing up Kafeir and chimmy
Truri and gotu jang again. And then she goes, it's
like they're also shunning their parents preferred restaurants Applebee's, Ruby
too safe, teacher to seek out more authentic fair And
(39:57):
then this is where you get to it. It's obvi
used to me that this conduct mental divide can be
tressed traced to young folks rejection of what they sneeringly
consider a boring white food. Do you think twenty three
and me and my heritage and all those other DNA
testing companies are flourishing because people want to know that
their ancestors came from Aberdeen. Hell's No, I thought that
(40:20):
was a little improv by you. This is all verbatim. Uh.
They want to be, they want to be, And she
writes it like I want to be, Like if you
want to be my lover or not want to be,
they want to be or Manchuria or Malawi. It's the
same with condiments. I'm not part of the elderly Mao masses.
I'm Turkey and Swiss on schabada with ziki chipotle spread
(40:41):
and a little basil pesto. That's who I am. Damn
it my sandwich myself, I don't like right by the way,
also the most exotic sandwich she can come up with
a Turkey and Swiss, but it's onbada, so I mean
pretty pretty out there. She's like, what's that Italian bread? Right? Yeah?
(41:03):
She spends a lot of time on the white European
roots of mayonnaise. And there's interesting stuff in here about mayonnaise,
like as a food food like tasters and food critics
respect it. They say, like all the flavors blend together,
it's perfectly balanced. Nothing sticks out. Everything is appropriate. Uh.
And then she writes after that quote italics nothing sticks out.
(41:27):
Mayonnaise isn't bland, it's artfully blended. It's an evocation of
the era I grew up in, of the homogeneity of
that old dead American dream. So nothing sticks out. Key,
we don't want people who stick out. We want something
that is homogenious and white, white. Imagine going into it art.
(41:51):
What if she has no like she's not trying to
have any thinly veiled message on this in her mind,
she's just writing an article making fun of millennial and
then all of a sudden she's like, wait, what do
you mean I'm a racist? Like this is how she
finds out whoa how did people have this? Oh my god,
I guess it is there. I guess I do hate
my da Jesus huh, because I can clearly see that
what happened was they went to this outing and her
(42:14):
macaroni salad and potatoes has just sat there because probably
whack anyway, And he's going, I'm not eating how can
we not eating it? And her daughter goes, Mom, stop
like pushing people to eat your macaroni salad, like they'll
just eat what they want to. It's my female daughter.
And then her daughter probably goes, look, mom, mayonnaise is
just gross and you know that's something you wanted to do.
It's old timing and like we're just into other stuff,
(42:35):
and she went, excuse you, gender studies, psycho. That is
your cultural inheritance, madame. Um, which sucks if that's literally
what you think about your h She gets angry the
other thing because they're talking about it, like, oh, I
wonder what it could have what could have happened. She's like,
she points out all these BuzzFeed articles that we're talking
(42:57):
shit about man is, and then she's like, this one
professor said it was too disgusting to ingest describe it.
Then she puts in a quote from another article says,
it's viscous quality is the sort of thickness that you
get from fluid oozing out of a rotted carcass, and
then the quote goes on. She's then she starts her paragraph,
this is bullshit. This attitude comes to you from young
people who willingly slurp down eight kazillion kinds of yogurt,
(43:18):
not to mention raw fish and pork belly and yo
detergent pods. So don't talk to me about mayonnaise. It
has to be satire, right, I don't know, man, We're
going to be so embarrassed if it is. I will,
I will, I will just tip my hat. I will
because I will without knowing. My analysis is this is
(43:39):
actually great, like for it to be from the perspective
of this yeah this yeah right right, This mother who
has her manonnaise based existence is a threat. It's being
threatened by millennials. Uh. And then she goes into this
other part she goes, and this is where I be.
You know, they could be satire because they're all these
parallels to like our political discourse now. But says, quote,
(44:02):
I thought young people today were supposed to be all
about inclusion, about kindness and compassion and making other people
feel welcome. So how about you include a little mayo
in your picnic fare? And it goes down a little bit,
and she says, just because something is old and white
doesn't mean it's obsolete. Look at Shakespeare. Look at me.
Uh huh, look at me though, really see me? Uh?
And then so all of this goes back to an
(44:24):
observation that she made because people weren't eating her potato salad.
When you read the first paragraph through again, uh, it
seems that people stopped eating it after she she makes
the point that it was her mother's recipe that she
passed down to her, and it seems like people stopped
eating it when she started making it. So maybe she's
(44:44):
just like not good at and people are just like,
we're not really into mayonnaise anymore. I guess is what
what what will make you stop talking about this? I
I substitute the potatoes for plums and people have been
having an shoe with it for some reason. Right, what
if this plumb mannise salad? Ye? So and I can't
(45:07):
get I would hope. I've looked on her Twitter. I'm
trying to find out if this is saterical. Her last
tweet was about her posting her mom's macaroni salad recipe.
She says, there have been a lot of requests for this.
We boomers are nothing if not accommodating macaroni salad. I'm
fine with mayonnaise on a sandwich. Mayonaise, like my wife
(45:27):
hates it, I am fine with it. But macaroni salad
is fucking gross. Guys, Come on, I'll eat macaroni salad.
I'd add here with manse okay, okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, okay. Well,
if it's a job for me, um, welcome back. I
(45:47):
mean yeah, going around this table, is anyone in this
room staunchly opposed to Mannie's in general conceptually? Right? No?
Not at all? Everyone I'm looking at No, okay, superducer
Nick Stump just said he thinks pretty nasty. Okay, And
Josie and Josie don't pantomime shooting him. Do you love it?
(46:09):
Do you. I'm not. I'm not a guesst mandaise. I'll
funk with man like i'll eat macaroni's out. I'm disgusting.
I will ask for it not to be on a sandwich,
but if it comes on the sandwich, I'll be like fine,
you know, like I won't even Yeah, mostly okay, But
you don't seek out mayonnaise. I do not, So you
try to avoid it when possible. Yeah, but I won't. Yeah,
it won't ruin my day, right right, right, But I
think maybe this you're the kind of millennials she's talking
(46:30):
about here. You want male folbes, my mabe. You know anyway,
you should everyone should be using QPI mannaise, Japanese mannaise.
That that's you, you know what. But she calls it,
calls it, she calls it out in this article though,
of like things that are like new wavy manse that
(46:52):
people should still be fucking with. So in that way, Susan,
I'm I'm with our Sandy, Sandy Hingston, I'm with you.
But then her Twitter, I was going through a Twitter.
There's like a photo with her and all these other
like older baby boom a white when she's like and
like vacation in New Hampshire with all my middle school
best friends, and it looks like whatever the man is Illuminati,
like where they gather and they they set forth the
(47:14):
agenda for Big Mayonnaise. She she's just like it's tweeting
heart emojis at Heinz, you know. I mean, she really
goes all in for Helman's like, and a lot of
it really is like wrapped up in her mother and
her father too. She's talking about father loved Hellman. So
there are times whether it's a very real, like as
a piece of satire, it would be great because it
(47:35):
would come off as this person who's completely unaware of
what they're saying. But also I don't know, I'm still
struggling with what this actually is. And also her whole
ancestors and familial heritage, like this just goes to, oh,
name one thing about your grandfather that you love so much,
may Oh. And that's the first thing, Not that he
was a good, loving family member. His stance towards Mayonnaise
(47:59):
has to get most like that decorated navy pilot. I
don't know, I know, I don't know for sure. What
I do know is that he loved mayonnaise. Oh, and
I mean this is not to deny in any way
that there is such a thing as like political taste
and food. I mean, the first comparison to America is
American as apple pie. And one of the things she
(48:22):
calls out is she's like, oh, these millennials are scared
of mayonnaise for health reasons, but they'll eat raw fish. Right.
She can't deal with the idea of sushi and the
fact that it's healthy. Yeah, I don't know. This is
what conservative ism is at its core, is conserving tastes,
conserving ideals. Right. It's the kind of thing where a
(48:45):
dude would be like, I do no yoga, right, that's
freaky ship, Right, I'm gonna sucking just lift some weights, man,
leave me aligned you know, polates, What am I fucking
fucking weirdo. It happens in sports too, where like soccer
still hasn't totally caught on because people see that as
like a European they just fall down all the time. Yeah,
can fucking kick a ball that hard? Motherfucker? Yeah? I mean,
(49:08):
I'm telling you, if the thing that really to another
one the second you try and actually do what you
see on the screen, is the second those people will
begin respecting that as a sport because you can't run
it full speed of the ball and not like weird
or like control anyway, I can get the whole thing.
But yeah, it is true that even with food or whatever,
where someone will be like, you know, there's some burger
and they're like, can I not get the whatever chippotle
(49:31):
blah blah blah, and there I just I like it
playing right. You're not going to turn into a liberal
all of a sudden because you ate food from another
country and you want to start caring about other people
all of a sudden, you know, God for fucking big.
But I do think taste is like there's a reason
we call our preferences for all things taste. Is it
really like it is the first thing that we have
(49:53):
personal almost cultural preferences for. So yeah, but now everything
is Asian, right, everything is fusion erasion. You know, you
get tacos their Asian. Now Korea it's a town. Now
there's a China town. Yet I don't know, so everything
is Asian. I don't have a passport. Yeah, I don't
(50:16):
need one. I don't need I'm not going anywhere in
the best place in the world. Uh well, yeah, one
way or another. There's a reason we've talked more about
this article than any single article in the history of
the show. Is the perfect She captured the zeitgeist in
one article. And I'm just gonna tweet at her right now,
go yo, is this satire? Hey? Your job? I can't
(50:39):
tell how you do your job? What are you being
serious or kidding? All right, we're gonna take a quick
break to it for a response from her. We'll be
right back, and we're bad act And Brett Kavanaugh. Yes,
(51:04):
So this dude was nominated for the Supreme Court, Like
what when was that? Like a couple of years ago?
It seems like a month ago, so uh, like it's
twenty nineteen, right, right, right, So his confirmation hearing is
probably going to be happening in the next couple of months.
(51:24):
And I mean, they're fucking they won't even let the
archives release all the documents he's tied to because well, yeah,
he had his hands in all kinds of ship. Meanwhile,
I just have to point out when Elena Kagan was
up for nomination, the Conservatives got every single fucking document
they had to to hold that ship up. But for
whatever reason. Now you know you don't you know, we
don't know, mostly because this is the dude who if
(51:47):
if it goes to the Supreme Court of whether or
not the president can be subpoenaed or has to cooperate
in this investigation, he's gonna be the woman's like not
fam right, he's very pro executive power when that executive
is not Bill Clinton, very pro baseball to so VEHB
pro baseball. So he has or had racked up two
(52:09):
hundred thousand dollars in debt buying Washington Nationals tickets, which
seems like a weird thing you would here about on
like a hoarders show, Like it's just this like bizarre
prefer healthy like he's he's just like buying a bunch
of seats, like doesn't even use them or something. Because
you you looked up how much National season tickets for
(52:31):
the Inside Dugout Club, which would like the highest selectable
ticket plan for the Nationals was season six hundred sixty six,
five hundred dollars, And he's up two hundred thousand dollars
over like ten years. But still even if you even
if you had to season tickets for ten years behind
(52:52):
pay at all for them, like, well, this is the thing.
So the Washington Post first reported about it, and so
they asked the White House. They're like, yo, what's good?
Why is this man spending so much money on tickets?
And raj Shaw responding he was saying like, yeah, he
goes to games with that quote handful of friends, and
like these friends then reimbursed him for the tickets and
all the debts have been paid off, which is probably true.
(53:13):
I think they found this through like other documents or whatever.
But that may be fine. But yo, who is he
going with and who is he schmoozing with? And is
that going to lead to some conflict of interest? What
kind of tax ship is he doing? Like is he
trying to show this as a They don't know. It's
just a weird thing for that much money to be
spent on the nationals. Just poor decision making as well,
(53:34):
you know, just like why are you spending And he
didn't have to sit there childish, it's so silly. It's
so that's what I would do with my Like, if
I had that money, that's what I would do with
that money. And I shouldn't be a Supreme Court justice
because I make decisions like that right, right, right, exactly, Yeah, yeah,
I just picture him with a foam finger at the
(53:55):
game like that, that sort of fandom, just like just
total baseball helmet with ice creaming and skills it on
his robes. He has, he has to wear the robout
in public, well in the mascot and racism down the
field with this fucking presidents. It's justice speed run as
(54:16):
fast as you can. But yeah, the Pro Publico was
also putting out a piece where they're like, did you
go to a Nationals game with a Supreme Court nominee
Brett Kavanaugh? Like we need to know what the funk
is going on with this because they just like there
has he got some splaining to do And in the
article they're like, they go down the way, here's what
we do. It always kind of funny. We know he
(54:36):
bought season tickets at the end of sixteen, likely for
seventeen season. He also bought tickets to some playoff games.
He might not have been sitting in the same seats
for those. He's reportedly gone to games in the past
with U S District Judge James E. Bosberg and Obama
nominee who is his ex roommate from law school. He's
been photographed at least twice wearing blue striped polo shirts.
So have you seen this man? Were the stripes for icle?
(55:01):
A middle aged white man at a baseball game wearing
a blue striped polo shirt. If so, contact Pro Publica
immediately and that was the end of that publication. But
I think there's his daughter sitting next in this photo
they do have of him. She looks bored out of
her fucking mind. It looks like a kid who was
dragged to a baseball game. Although when I was back
(55:24):
East hanging out with my dad, he was watching a
lot of baseball, and I'm now just uh, I'm back
into baseball's background, was just having it on tune in
and out. It's great completely, So all right, yeah, so
national's holler at a jack exactly. So Peter Struck was fired.
(55:45):
Apparently this was not you know, they asked the FBI
somebody who would know how you should handle the things
that he did, and he was like, yeah, he should
be demoted and sus ended for I think a few months, right,
and have a disciplinary hearing too. Instead of doing that,
(56:06):
they just fired him. And Peter Strock is the guy
who had the text messages that the you know, everyone
on the GOP tries to be like, we're gonna stop him,
and they're like, you see the FBI, I has been
against him in the deep state, blah blah blah. And
then he went guy. Yeah. Then he went into the
hearing in front of the House Intel Committee and just
owned everybody like he was just like, nah, fam like,
I'm not a partisan. I said that because of these things,
(56:26):
because the president is dangerous in these ways. But yeah,
now he's fired. So that doesn't smack of a politically
motivated firing at all. So he was taken off the
Mueller investigation right like, and then just put back into
the FBI and fired him. That's ridiculous. He was off
the team and they were doing the right thing. They
demoted him, they took him off the thing where there
(56:47):
was a conflict of interest, and then they just fired him.
What it was today, right? Yeah? I think they we
found out today, but he was told I think Friday. There,
I thought he had already been fired, but that was
Andrew Cape. It's hard to keep track of all the
FBI people that have been fired. There's been a lot. Uh.
And finally I just wanted to give a shout out
to my fellow leftys. Uh, it is an International left
(57:09):
handed Person's Day. They've got to have a better name
than that. But yeah, well, I think left handedness is interesting.
I right and do like small things lefty, and then
play sports and do big things righty. But you throw
left handed? Yeah no, I throw ready, I I right,
all right? You right left hand, do small things lefty.
But basically I have all the disadvantages of being lefty,
(57:33):
but none of the advantages because being lefty in sports
is great because south Yeah, yeah, you'll have to play catcher. Yeah,
you're awkward guard in basketball. Um, but yeah, I think
left handedness is interesting. Like, uh, six and less thirteen
presidents were left handed, even though we only make up
(57:53):
temper under the population. Uh, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
are lefty. I think it's there's a theory that dyslexic
people are a larger portion of the billionaire entrepreneur population
than they should be, Like, you know, they only make
up a small percentage of the population, but it's like
(58:15):
of billionaire entrepreneurs are dyslexic, and the theory on that
is that because you're dyslexic you have to like learn
these like hacks to get through life, like different ways
to like approach problems. And that contributes to what kind
of hacks are you coming up with, like being like, Hi,
I have to sit at the end of the table
during this meal so my elbow doesn't hack. Yeah, you
(58:38):
have to learn how to use scissors differently, you have
to learn how to, like my writing, I have to
like curl my arm all the way around. I think
I think it's a very Yeah, your mind is just
programmed differently. I think I think it's just a very
mild form that essentially, Uh, well, my mom's left handed
(58:58):
and I The only thing that I really took from
that is she would always be like I have sit
at the end of the table. Yeah, because there's all now,
is it? It's also the best seat at the table. Yeah.
She might have just started using her left hand to
sit at the end of the table. I don't know. Really,
all power to her. That's great because I caught her
writing with her right anyway. That's another one that's called
a cliffhanger. Don't don't dun blake. It's been a pleasure
(59:22):
having you. Thank you. Where can people find you? Fully?

pre order. And I'm going to be at the Pedal
Luma Comedy Festival this weekend in Pedaluma, California. So yeah,

I laughed at was more of a video of Justin
Bieber dancing real weird like locking and ship at the show.
But someone like retweeted the video and said, Justin Bieber
dance like a downtown Oakland crackhead, and it looks like
he's got like the washed old man like locking it's weird.
(01:00:37):
It's weird. It looks like a guy whose ego has
betrayed his actual sense, like to giving himself an objective
idea of how well he can dance, and he's just
too gassed up, and it's just like, okay, alright, justin
he passed the point of no return, like I'm dancing, yeah,
because I got Christ in my veins. Tweet I enjoyed
(01:00:57):
was from Johnny Sun, who tweeted, you agree to have
your years sorted algorithmically instead of chronologically, you experience all
your most exciting and memorable moments first. The algorithm hides
all your negative and lackluster ones. Your entire years four
days long. You suddenly have no idea who you are.
I think it's a good description on social media. Yeah,
