Speaker 1 (00:00):

it's always feels kind of uncanny walking around in a
beautiful place. New York is more your vibe. Yeah, yet
New York is matchie, that's what I like about it.

(01:53):
But I do enjoy l A. Um I'm here for
a little while. Uh once before after that and I
was like to spend a little time here, take it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I feel like that's the thing in l A that
people feel like they have to hide their depression because
it's such a beautiful place and like outwardly glamorous people
are not hide Have you seen people dress at nice

(02:14):
restaurants are depressed? Yeah, they're wearing sweats. People are like
swells chill man, Like you can wear suking like a
garbage off and like now these people are working dead inside.
But yeah, crying in your car is a big thing
in l A. I feel like, really, yeah, I see
a lot of people crying in their car. Yeah, you
hear it a lot stand up. Yeah, it's a premise.
Well that also just says something about the people that
do stand up. Yeah, their car criers. Yeah. I think

(02:37):
I maybe heard it in a stand up routine and
then started looking for it, and a lot of a
lot of car criers. I see a lot of Yeah,
a lot of hurried eating in fast food restaurant parking lots. Yes,
I see that too. Well. People to do with what
you're doing at the time as well, you're hang out
in fast food parking lots. Selling drugs to a little

(02:59):
wet is legal their nineteen Alright, alright, Jake, we're gonna
get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're telling our listeners a few of the things we're
talking about today, such as the Ranch v catchup Wars,

(03:19):
the condiment Wars. We're gonna talk about Donald Trump. We're
gonna talk about Mike Pence. We're gonna talk about straight
Pride parades and how fucking lit they are so good
at parades. Miles is gonna get to catch you up
on a couple of the things he's fucking weird. We're

(03:42):
gonna talk about the newest weapon in parents Wars, on
fussy eating, and a possibly a new superhero or supervillain
origin story. Yeah, not all heroes where capes and not
all heroes can see. We'll talk about that and more.
But first, Jake, we like to ask our guest what

(04:05):
is something from your search history that is revealing about
who you are. Um. So when you guys sent me
that question, I looked up just what the last thing
I googled was? And um, uh does anyone ever just
say porn? I feel like that's like some people have. Yeah, No,
it was um the phrase die ant Word canceled because

(04:27):
I was talking about that band die Ante Word was
someone yesterday and I was trying to remember why they
got canceled from riot Fest because they were supposed to
play riot Fest and then they canceled for like, um,
something they did something offensive or something I don't know, UM,
And I was I guess we were talking about, like
I don't know, maybe like cancel culture or something like that,

(04:50):
or whether it exists or what's going on. And uh,
I was trying to remember just anything about this damn
band because all I remember that one song where they're
kind of in blackface and they and You're like, whoa,
what the hell? And then they just were still a
band after that. Um, they've finally been you know, taken down.
I don't I don't know, um down en. I don't
have to stand on this either way. I'm not very

(05:10):
invested it was just curious because it was relating to
something else. I think we're maybe talking about Dave Chappelle
or some ship. Diet at Word is there the South
African hip hop group? Uh? And when you type the
name in Google, the first auto complete is diet at
Word canceled. So you were not alone. I think, yes,

(05:33):
some kind of homophobic argument of trying to find out.
I mean, look, you know, the second I found out
that they were like but not about that life for real,
like that Zef life, like that. They were sort of
performance artists who are just trying to find a wave,
I was like, Oh, this ain't what I thought it was.
They're like rich people that fake being poor or like

(05:55):
Yolandi Vissers comes from a pretty well to do family,
and I remember that sort of and then beginning I
was like, oh, I like her weird Westmorland contact lenses
and haircut. And then I was like, oh, your dad
works for like the cable company. Yeah, don't do it.
Rich people will find you and bust you every time.
What is something you think is overrated? All right? I've

(06:16):
got a hot, spicy overrated here. That Popeye's chicken sandwich.
All right, here's what's happening. It's good, but it's a
viral marketing campaign. They made too many chickens, that has
to be what happened. They have someone left the chicken
machine on at the factory. They said, we gotta get
rid of these chickens. And uh, you know, if you
pay attention to like trade politics and shop like that,

(06:38):
that's why, like, um, you know, all of a sudden,
every fast food restaurant will have like a bacon thing
is because like something with like the tariffs and China
and stuff, people that don't know about this could explain
it better. I just vaguely caught wind of that concept.
And now whenever there's like a limited run fast food item,
I try to figure it out. Did you did you

(06:59):
have the sandwich? I did, and it was really good. Um,
But I don't know if there had not been buzz
on Twitter and fun jokes about it and all these ads,
memes and like videos of people, if I was just
in like a double blind study or something and I
ate the sandwich, I don't know if I would have
been like, this is an especially good fast food chicken sandwich.

(07:20):
You know, my excitement comes from comparing it to chick
fil A, and I think my enthusiasm was about finding
an alternative. But yeah, I mean the wave has come
and gone, and they got what twenty million dollars in
free advertising? Right. I delicious sandwich though, I thought it
was so good that I was immediately suspicious that it
was that they supplies would run out, because you, yeah, well,

(07:44):
they're trying to create like a scarcity to drum up
some sort of like revelation. Didn't think they could keep
that level of quality up. Figured that it would be
like they put out the best possible chicken sandwich they
could make and sold it at a loss and then
eventually create a wave around like some scarcity and then

(08:05):
put out a less good chicken sandwich. Somebody pulled a
gun on the Popeye staff recently because they're out of
chicken sands. That finally happened, I mean over the weekend.
It was only a matter of time. I mean, yeah, honestly, wild,
what is something you think is underrated? Why wouldn't they
ask for the money when they had the gun out?

(08:26):
I guess the money to you thought, I'm playing, Yeah,
give me you hand him the sandwich. He's like, thank you,
and he puts the gun back. No, we're not robbery, No,
just really upset that. You know, the sandwiches. There's some
things money can't buy, and at that time, Popeye chicken
sandwich was one of them. Oh this may have been
in your home town of southeast Houston, Texas, to the

(08:49):
restaurant on Scott Street and quarter. Oh wow, I'm from
southwest Houston. You know that's pretty close. And yeah, I
believe it. Yeah, the man train, he said, one man
had a but the show work was able to lock
them out. Oh wow, Well, you certainly can't get into
a fast food restaurant if there's a locked door and
you have a gun, like right, I guess maybe their

(09:10):
bulletproof glass. That actually depends on which Popeyes. That would
make sense because there was also this reminds me of
some reason. I did grow up in Houston. There was
a restaurant called Timmy Chance Chicken, which was like fucking
fire chicken. It was really good, but they also got
robbed a lot. So like there was one Timmy Chance
that is literally just like a brick, like fucking cute,

(09:31):
no windows, little booth and then you put the money
in though like one of those prison sliding drawer things
and then just chicken comes out just like what you
get and it doesn't you don't get. Yeah, yeah, okay,
So I like to know about local stuff like that.
Is that, like I've not I've not heard of that.
This is the first time I've even heard that combination

(09:52):
of names as business. Is that only in Houston? I
think it's just like a few it's just in Houston.
Shot a Timmy change. Yeah, what is something you think
is underrated? Underrated? Um, I'm gonna go, uh, this might
be like a very vague broad answer, but just like
podcasting in general, I know it's all the rage, but

(10:14):
there's here's where I'm going. There's a lot of like
anti podcast like humor on on Twitter and on the Internet,
and I am suspect of where it comes from because
it always seems to come from people that are like
very rich, that are defending just traditional media, and I'm like, well,
fuck you. The thing about podcasting is that it's accessible,

(10:38):
you know, and uh, a lot of this stuff gets
sort of politically involved, and so there are a lot
of there's a lot of voices of dissent in d
I Y media and you can't do that ship if
you're writing for like The New York Times. You're on
MSNBC or something, so suddenly, oh, podcasting use for white
men and bruise and stuff. It's like, you know, I

(11:00):
know what you're doing there. I think d I Y
is good. Yeah. Any criticism that like there should be
more you know, representation and podcasting by all means, but
that's not a reason to write off podcasting. Like podcasting,
there's nothing inherent about podcasting that makes it. There's also

(11:20):
like a weird um there's this thing among comedians that
I noticed where it's UM, it's not considered like even
though it's a good tool, it's very you can be lucrative,
UM and you can get a lot of listens. It's
not as respected as some traditional channels of like entertainment

(11:41):
or like literally channels like trying to get on TV
because it doesn't come with this like UM gatekeeper thing
where you go, I got all the way up there
and they chose me, and I'm the good I'm I
got a gold star and I have the mother ship
beamed me up. Yeah. All you get is you get
you worked really hard on something and then you make it,
and then you go like I did it. I made

(12:02):
a thing, but it doesn't have the specific thing that
comedians have in their head, which is like psychological and
you know, there's a big hole in your inside of
your existential being that you need to fill. The approval thing.
That's what I'm looking for. You get approval for it.
So I think it's funny that it's like the tools
are right there. You can make anything you want. But

(12:22):
but um, but it's not as satisfying, you know, because
you're not a star, right right? Well, I think you
know that's the beauty of the medium too, is like
we can have a show where we talk about the
news and we're not like, you know, like Ge isn't
the owner of the company where it's like, well, we
can't talk about the military indust show complex because they
own it whatever. And I can just say things like

(12:43):
come yeah, just like that and yelling come yeah, Miles
is daily yelling of come That's what I do. A
little little known fact in l A there's a lot
of shoots and live news broadcast going on. High school.
My I was used to love to go in the
background and yell come as loud as he could. I

(13:03):
was kicked out of the barbank Moll recently. More I
hear about him, the more I am a big fan
of high school. What is a myth? What's something people
think is true? You know to be false? Alright? So
when I was preparing for this, I couldn't decide whether
I wanted to get um all heavy and serious or
talk about Popeyes chicken sandwiches. So I kind of cut
it down the middle. But I guess this is now

(13:25):
that I'm looking at my notes. I took like slavage
Jack notes, so it's kind of an intense point. But
I think I was thinking about this, it was like, um, myth.
A big myth to me is uh this idea that
like art is a weapon. And what I mean by
that is it like, um, you know, I mean we're
here in l A. We're in the land where we
make all the things, you know, all the media and stuff,

(13:45):
so maybe it's relevant. There's a very popular idea in
America that like I'm gonna fight Trump with my music
or whatever, or you know, or with movies and stuff
like that. And uh, I kind of also call bullshit
on this, like s I think it's a it's a
very popular myth and it's profitable. And what I mean
by that is, here's what I was thinking about it. Right,

(14:07):
So this Dave Chappelle special comes out, and everyone's everyone
in the in the right wing, the bright Barts and
reason dot com and these people are like, you know,
the canceled culture. People don't want you to see this special, right,
and everyone makes fun of them because it's hilarious. But
then you know, like a few years ago, this Lady
Ghostbusters movie came out and how they advertise it. They're like,

(14:29):
the bros don't want you to see it, and like,
what are these two things have in common? They don't
want you to buy my product, so stick it to
them by buying my thing. Right, That's that's how like
capitalism came back around and just molded itself around all
this stuff we're talking about, and uh, it's it's dumb.
I'm against it. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Well, yeah,

(14:50):
I think there's the idea that you could somehow just
be like, do these subversive T shirts are gonna bring
are gonna end child separation? Your heart's in the right place,
But I don't know, if you know, if we're talking
in terms of an action plan, that's the best thing
to do. But I guess if you're just using it
as awareness, that's one level of it. But I think
to to suppose that that that's the you know, that's

(15:13):
going to directly affect things. But it kind of like,
I think it's advantageous to people in power to permeate
these myths because it really keeps people from doing anything
that actually threatens power by thinking like, you know, well
I could do a bunch of boring, dry political ship,
or I could pick up a brick, or I could
do my hobby, and then that's also somehow part of

(15:36):
this process. And it's like you imagine you're like a king.
You're inside of a tower. You don't want to get
in the tower. There's always people outside and they have weapons. Right, Well,
it would be probably pretty advantageous to like permeate the
idea that like weapons on. That's not how you do it.
Do it with a song, you know, you know it
really fucking piss me off? Is if y'all stayed at home? Yeah,

(15:58):
that would really fuck me up. I don't know. So, like,
I guess this idea gets thrown around a lot of
the circles in it, and I think it's, uh, the
point I'm trying to make I guess it's like art
is the end of society, not the beginning of it,
Like it's an end result. And so that's what America
has backwards to me interesting, you know, yeah, And I
think I mean all art is political, and so like

(16:21):
sometimes when people are going out to specifically make a
political statement that they have consciously concocted in their mind.
I feel like sometimes just in terms of the quality
of the art, that's it tends to work better when
it's like something that has taken some time to stewing
your unconscious or just in general, the best art is

(16:43):
true actual self expression rather than like pop music where
it's like, well this is banging right now. If I
do something in this world, I can get swept up therefore,
And I think that's that's a big difference to if
like if it's like meaning first and then there's like
a point in it later. If you're writing a joke
that it's the funny first, and then that happens to
have a point of view in it because it's your

(17:03):
point of view and it's attached to the things you
think about. That's a joke, right, But if you start
with the thing you're trying to say that's propaganda, and uh,
then you're just a fucking Christian rock musician, and you
know that's not fun. You know, I was a Christian
rock musician in high school when you were yelling yeah exactly,

(17:24):
singing come in the voice of the Lord and exactly. Yeah. Yeah,
we call it Ecclesie nasties pretty good Christians. Uh, let's
talk about ranch ran these ranch dressing ideology. People always say,
you know, all ranch dressing is political. And now you

(17:48):
mileso Hidden Valley which, by the way, there is a
Hidden Valley Ranch that ranch dressing was invented at. I
learned that during the Year of Our Lord. Yes apparently,
uh yeah, they they're claimed the makers of Hidden Valley
Ranch are claiming victory over Catchup that it is now
their influence of ranch usage now happens beyond the salad bowl,

(18:11):
including for dipping pizza, fries and popcorn. And now this
is where I get sucked up. They said it has
displaced blue cheese as a dipping sage choice for wings.
That's a fucking lie. And that's how I know this
whole thing is bullshit. Yes, because I will never put
a ranch on a wing. But this is a long
standing kind of conversation that Hidden Valley has been trying
to get started, uh since two thousand twelve. I found

(18:33):
an article where they were like, Hidden Valley is gonna
supplant ketch up as the number one condiment by putting
out this new product, Hidden Valley everything which is thicker
and so it sticks better to burgers and fries. Here's
how here's how they should advertise it. They should be
like these PC culture people, they don't want you to

(18:56):
on everything. Fucking own them, pone them with extra ranch.
It's true, the cultural elites don't want you to eat.
They're all that'll give you a heart attack. Ranches just
fucking I don't. I mean, I get it. I I
really liked ranch when I was a teenager because I've
never had it really growing up, because my mom just

(19:18):
didn't have that kind of ship in our house. And
then I would start eating like I had friends who
put ranch on everything. I was like, oh this is
I'm like, okay, this is a wave. Then it died
off because I realized it was just covering everything I
ate and there was no other flavor. It was more
just like masking ship and ranch. Uh. Now, I'm like
really not as into the whole ranch thing, but like
when you see all these like ranch fucking fest Ranch

(19:40):
Fest they have in Vegas or whatever where people like
beer bonging fucking ranch, it's just like the new fucking
Bacon where people are mistaking food for a personality, and
I'm a little you know, ranch bacon. Yeah, well no,
that's the thing. And that's when you look at like
the ship Hidden Valley is making. They're like they found
a way to weaponize ranch in every possible way. By

(20:01):
the way, isn't the number one condiment in the United States? Also, right,
it's actually Mayo and Mayo by like a lot four
hundred million containers sold each year. Then it's also with
two hundred seventy one million. That's probably it's probably because
of real America, that's right, Which is funny. I thought

(20:21):
I thought they're all those like fucking takes like, oh,
millennials are ruining Mayo's dying because millennials are poor. I
think that was a single article we found that woman
bad that people didn't like her chicken salad. It's always
somebody with a really specific agenda don't want to come
over to my apartment anymore. They're killing that coming over

(20:43):
to my apartment. Industry millennials think my scarface poster is
quote gay. Anyways, be wary of any ranch news that
you hear. I know you guys have been just reading
ranch news with an open but trying to be a
little bit. This is what's wild. There is a ranch

(21:03):
dipping sauce. Right if you go to the Hidden Valley site,
they have a whole subsection of different ranches you can get. Okay,
one is called blasted creamy dipping sauce ranch dipped pizza flavor. Now,
what the fun dipped pizza. It's so it's basically evoking
the taste the ranch. The dressing that comes out of

(21:25):
this is meant to evoke the flavor of you dipping
pizza into ranch. It's a flavor. It's a ranch dressing
that's flavored as ranch dressing that has pizza dip dipped in.
This is That's what I'm saying. This is meta. Do
you put that on? Is this practice? Yeah? Fuck? I

(21:49):
don't know. I don't know. It's meant to just be like,
if you like the flavor of ranch and pizza, but
you don't want to just dip your pizza and ranch.
You just want to export that flavor to another eating experience.
This is where I'm just saying the layers are becoming
too thick and crazy. Do you want to eat an
Escher painting? Do you want your condiment to just confuse

(22:09):
the ship out? Like that one scene in Labyrinth? Have
you ever made ranch? Uh? No? I was just actually
I'll actually talk about this later. I'm into making my
own dipping SAUCEAG recently, and I was realizing how easy
it is to make ranch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's making
your own sauces. It's fun. Um. I used to have
to make it because I worked at a pizza restaurant,
and so you have to make it in batch, and
like it's basically just like three ingredients. It's just like

(22:31):
buttermilk and then like mayo or something some green ship
and then you put it all on a bucket and
then you get this big drill thing, power beater. Yeah,
you sit there like a construction worker, just like people
walk by. Yeah, it's really weird. Packets you're adding or
was it real? Like from scratch it was hidden valley

(22:54):
actually packets of green ship. I don't know what it is. Yeah,
I don't know what's in ranch also when I eat
it constantly and look, and we shouldn't know. In a way,
I don't want to know. It's America's new blood type.
All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back. And we're back. And there's a hurricane that

(23:23):
was just parked over the Bahamas over the weekend. And
as it was approaching, Hurricane Dorrian, the president he said
that this is like the first category five hurricane that
he'd heard of. Really, yeah, he said, not sure that
I've ever even heard of a category five hurricane. Uh,

(23:45):
there've been like nine, there have been four since he's
been president. Uh, but I never heard of it. We
don't even know what's coming at us. All we know
is that's possibly the biggest. It's interesting to me, not
as fairly because he's lying or uh stupid, but because
it's just a good kind of way of getting the

(24:09):
rosetta stone of like how his brain works, Like everything
is the biggest or worst ever. The version of the
story that you just heard, imagine the version that would
make the biggest splash on cable news. And that's how
it's going to come out. Of his brain when he
tells it back to you. The thing wasn't the some
other thing happening where he said he was going to

(24:30):
hit Alabama or something. Yeah, and then the one same
press conference he said that Alabama's needs to be preparing
for the hurricane, and then the Weather Service was like,
it's going to completely miss the entire state of Alabama.
And then but then didn't Trump double down and was
like I never said that or some ship. I was
in denial that he was corrected by the National weather S. Again,

(24:52):
this is this is what late stage Trump is looking like.
Things did not sing that he said stuff that is
just on the record. You recorded it. Yeah. Yeah, that's
like reminded me of like someone I knew in high
school who would just lie straight up and you could

(25:13):
like you could call them on it. And it was
still like, no, I never said that, And you're like, fam,
we all we're all here together saying this was said. No,
not at all. Yeah, it's weird that we're all sort
of held hostage by this president that is just the
guy that retells the story ten times and keeps adding
ship to the fight he almost got. And then half
the time you're like, wait, dude, that's my story. Yeah wait,

(25:35):
I was there. You just told my fucking story as
if that happened to you. That was me though, or
was it right? And that same guy, you would definitely
hear him say I've never heard of a category five
after like you had just had a conversation with him
about the category five Nah. The funny thing about him
is that he's, uh, I don't know if ever Obama

(25:57):
ever did this or I just never noticed until Trump,
But he's always just danding next to a helicopter, yelling
at a camera while it's like about to take off,
and his his ties all flailing in the wind and stuff. Yeah, no,
that's a that's what he has instead of press briefings. Yeah.
I think it makes it easier to just lie because
you have a time constraint, because you're like, he's always
like I'm about to hop on this and it's loud

(26:19):
as fox. You're like, what I would, Yeah, I can't. Sorry,
do you know what you said? But I'm just gonna
say what I want to say, And you look at
the time, gotta go and then fly into a hurricane
he insists doesn't exist. That's how he's going to go down.
He's he's gonna have to. It's gonna lie himself into
a corner where you fly a helicopter, Like yeah, Mr President,

(26:40):
you said you would fly Marine one directly into the
hurricane to stub it, right, Yeah, I'm gonna that would
be pretty tight. So I'm gonna do that, get him
to say that he can fly a helicopter so that
he then like has to just back it up, like yeah,
we do know enough about like how he lies in
the and he lies about that, we should be able

(27:01):
to just and I think sometimes that's what the media
is doing, like with following up on the Alabama thing,
like they knew he was just going to be like
uh or the media followed up and was like so
this happened, right. I never said Matrix Revolutions was the
best movie. So the Weather Channel corrected you, huh. Like

(27:24):
it's like not adding any information. They're just like, we
know he's gonna lie about. He's like a robot that
runs on a computer program that we're trying to figure
out a riddle that will fry his get past. I
think if that rallies, people start saying, fly that chopper.
Did I say that because he's so hell bent on

(27:46):
building that one. All right, give me, give me that chopter.
I gotta fly. This is reluctantly not admitting that he
doesn't know how to fly exactly. Well, if if that
were true, then why don't you get into the helicopter
and flight yourself. Yeah, if you, if you're so great,
and he's like tank, upload a helicopter flying pilot course
to my brain. Now, that would be the funny at

(28:08):
the end of Trump's presidencies. He doesn't crash or die
or anything. He just flies away into the sunset and
we just never hear from him again. Goes far away.
We starts over in another country. Speaking of far away
and in another country. Uh, Mike pent visited Ireland, uh
for an official meeting in Dublin, and he stayed a

(28:31):
hundred and forty two miles away. Why would he have
done stayed that far? Yeah, from Dublin because Trump told
him to stay at his fucking golf course in dune Beg.
But it's the best in the world. Again, it's just
like more blatant out in the fucking open, like, hey, dude,
go stay at my fucking property so I can profit
off of all the additional people that are going to

(28:53):
show up, and it's not like a I doubt it's
a huge amount of money, but nonetheless still going to
the Trump or inization. But a hundred forty two miles
when you're when you're in Dublin, there's like when you
look at that, right, if you're in d C, that's
the distance between d C and Norfolk, Virginia. Okay. If
you're in New York City, that's the difference. That's the
distance between New York City and Schenectady. Okay. If you're

(29:18):
in Chicago, it's Chicago in Fort Wayne, Indiana. And if
you're in Frisco, San Francisco and Yosemite, Okay, okay, alright,
the difference between Seattle and Portland. I think the only
one of those that was effective was the Chicago and
Fort Wayne, all of them. I was all lost until Seattle. Portland.
Actually even more than I have no I have no

(29:40):
concept of Yosemite in relation to San Francisco, Lady Smity anyway,
that's neither here nor there, Seattle in Portland. That's how
far apart they're roughly. Yeah, so that's that's a good
one for most people. Yeah, like those are two different cities,
man different states. Yeah, but yeah, I mean the whole
the whole trip itself is just absurd. I mean, not
to mention the fact that he's just staying at his resort,

(30:02):
but also like the fucking whole thing. The White House
Deputy Press Secretary just did the typical GOP strategy of like,
if someone's called anti gay or racist, you show that
they've hung out with people of that group and that
shows they're not that. So this one was for all
of you who's This is the tweet from the Deputy
Press Secretary Judd Dear for all of you who still

(30:24):
think our VP is anti gay, I point you to
his and the second Ladies schedule tomorrow where they will
join tea Shock, which is what they call the Prime
Minister Leo bad Car and his partner, Dr Matthew Barrett
for lunch in Ireland. So not anti gay. So the
head of state in Ireland, because he's openly gay. He was.

(30:47):
He's saying that it's it's proof that he's not homophobic
because he didn't refuse to eat with the Head of
State of Ireland while in Ireland. That's proven. That is
an amazed Okay, haydar that they've set for themselves, like taxing.
Do you think this is for Pence? Do you think
it's like the worst day of his life for it's

(31:08):
like hype himself up for it, or the best day
of his life to not kiss one of them? Yeah,
what's going on in his head? I don't know. Uh, well,
the all the ship that he has to do. Like
I mean, when I first kind of started saying like, oh,
I mean I think maybe he doesn't like this was
when there was that whole argument with like Nancy Pelosi
and Chuck Schumer in the Oval office and he literally

(31:29):
just closed his eyes and tried to like astually project
himself somewhere else. That's when I was like, oh, he
gets it, like maybe or but then other people kind
of talk about how like why would he stay at
Trump's golf course if he wasn't started doing that thing
where like Trump is trying to get Pence to like
fully buy in on the corruption of the administration. Was like,

(31:49):
seeing how you've stayed there. It's it's so when he
leaves he can be like I have to get in
the helicopter and go back to the golf course. Uh sorry,
no more. Questions. Yeah, I mean, it reminds me that
scene in any Day when Denzel makes Eat the Hawk
smoke Scherm, when he's like, oh see now you're down,
Now you're dirty, You know what I mean? Because I
think if he if he did have his ship, like
you know, any person would be like, I'm I'm having

(32:11):
meetings in Dublin. Why the fund do I need to
stay at two miles away at Trump's golf course. Maybe
he's under the impression that a golf course has some
sort of like homosexuality shield magic quality. Nothing can happen
at a golf course. Never happened, never heard of it. Yeah,
I think Pence is just a coward and any time
Trump asks him to do something, he'll do it like

(32:34):
a good soldier. And you know, his main way of
you know, uh, not going along with Trump is just
to like not be there, just to not talk, not
talk and don't actually be there, and that that kind
of is Trump should really lean on him and be like,
I want you to have dinner with Milannia without mother there,

(32:57):
just the two of you, just you see him, squirrel.
I don't know, Mr President. He's so weird and he's
never in the news, but he's always back there living
his own truth or whatever. Just yeah, I don't know.
Maybe he's waiting to become president if he's I mean,

(33:18):
but even then, it's like, who wants to fucking follow
this ship up? Unless you're on the left, because anybody
like you see what happened, See what happened? Yeah, And
I think he's willing to, like at a certain point,
if things get bad enough, I think he'd be more
than happy to step in and be like, I will
accept the Solemn Oath. But what's that line? What's that line?
What's that? Because I don't have there been so many lines,

(33:39):
I'm like, is this the line? Think anybody? Now, Yeah,
he won't do it until it's like he's made to
have dinner with Milannia without mother there. When he loses
the base. Trump would have to lose the base. Well
the way it's looking now, I mean, like when you
look at a lot of the analysis of just sort
of like the swing districts that like we're heavily Trump
and then swung blue for the mid terms, and they're like, okay,

(34:00):
Trump still even doesn't even have a plan to win
those people back, Like, so what exactly is the strategy here,
because you saw a bunch of people flee in those
mid terms, but there haven't been any like no no
overtures to try and extend an olive branch or something
to get those people back. And I think it's just
sort of like he's just hitting the accelerator on this thing.
I don't know, man, I mean, he's just like he's

(34:21):
been having rallies like consistently throughout his entire presidency. That's
not normal, like past presidents have not just continued to
be on campaign campaigning during their own presidency. So he
does have like this base of people, but it doesn't
go above like thirty eight percent. Well that's the other
thing though, Like the system is broken, so it doesn't

(34:43):
matter because like you get a third party candidate in there,
up the jerrymandering all this stuff and just like the
electoral college and show like that they gained the system
to begin with. It's not the majority of the country
didn't vote for him. His people are like, you know,
like it's like fifteen percent of the country somehow has
control of the entire executive branch. Right, Um, I don't know,

(35:05):
I'm worried. I don't really we've never heard, I've never
heard about America. Got smoking hot take here comedian worried
about Trump reelection. It's gonna be on huff Puff. Guys.
Let's talk about the straight Pride parade that finally happened

(35:25):
over the weekend, the one in Boston. The one in
Boston finally happened over the long weekend. And I just say,
I'm so glad. I did say unplugged from the news
for the last couple of days. That's the thing. I mean.
This was poorly executed from a number of standpoints, but
number one being they held it over a holiday weekend
that I I had no idea what happened until after

(35:45):
the holiday weekend. Uh. And I also had no idea
what happened until after the holiday weekend because it was
just it kind of nothing happened. Yeah, it was like
two people showed up, so not few enough to be
like there. So there's been other straight Pride pride that
didn't realize this. There was a quote hetero activist who

(36:06):
staged the straight Pride parade in Seattle back in I
think it was a couple of years back, and the
attendance was lower. It was just him. I couldn't find
one other fucking weird that kind of takes the wheels

(36:26):
off his whole argument. Yeah, that's a sexual parade just
by default. He had he had the black and white balloons,
which ended up being black and white, ended up being
the color of the colors of the straight Pride movement,
if you want to call it that, which we shouldn't movement.

(36:47):
There's another straight Pride parade, uh, just last week in Modesto, California,
organized by Don Grundman, a chiropractor who also keeps running
for Senate and loseing horribly straight pripary. Oh you mean
a podcast drop the fucking ball Don a chiropractor. He's like, yeah,

(37:12):
we gotta keep things straight. Also our spinal ligne. Oh
maybe it's all viral marketing. Yeah, the most like some
someone off handedly said that to him and he has
the worst ideas, and he's like, yeah, wait, hold on, yeah,
straight pride, straight backs straight, Okay, yeah, let's do this. Yeah.
His logo on his site is a white fist next

(37:32):
to the words fight the power. Uh so it's even
worse because what is the power? Right? Fight out, fight ourselves.
There's also an old photo of a Lynching on his
website that links to an article where he calls black
people chumps. So okay. About section of this site he
claims that the crappiness of the web design is on

(37:55):
purpose because because it's a meeting potatoes site that's here
to quote assist you in both countering and leaving what
I term as the matrix, which wait, wait, which is
amazing what so many reasons. The about section of his
website is defending the shitty web design by making by

(38:16):
being like, yeah, because we're trying to fucking red pill
right in here, Yes, and also claiming that he is
the one who came up with comparing the media to
the matrix? Uh what what I term as the matrix?
So in a way he's the like originator of red pilling. Yes,
it's weird that he's not specifically talking about the red

(38:40):
pill like scene analogy in the Matrix, because he could
be saying that the media is like those two albino
twins from the Second Matrix or some other weird ship. Yeah,
he hasn't thought it through thoroughly enough for his mind
doesn't work, and that like meta texts, I'm not gonna
lie guys, I've only seen the trailer for the um

(39:02):
when appearing before the Modesto City Council to make his
case for his straight Pride parade, because nobody wanted it
to be on shared county land, so he had to
end up renting out a place which then canceled it
there um, so he just had it in his basement basically.
But when he was talking to the Modesto City Council

(39:24):
to make his case that he should be able to
have a straight Pride parade, he had a bit of
a Freudian slip where he said we're a totally peaceful
racist group, which, yeah, that's tough. Anyways, only twenty people
were there to celebrate when when his party eventually popped off,

(39:45):
but two hundred lgbt Q ally showed up to oppose them. Uh,
and that brings us to Boston just last weekend. First
of all, they fucked things up initially by using Brad
Pitts likeness. They were like, it's like the ultimate straight guy. Yeah,
Tyler dirt and Dog. We're all Tyler dirdon. Um. I

(40:07):
mean we just think it's really cool him as an
image of like the straight man, because you know, like
he's so hot. And like his body is so tight
and like everything about him like glistening, Like I don't
know if that's real select or like the makeup department
with glyszer and all over his abs or whatever, but
I'm feeling it. What's more heterosexual than an imaginary metrosexual friend?
I was telling you to do all that bad stuff, yea,

(40:30):
how to use hair gel and ship. Right, So about
two people showed up to march Um, we're mostly drowned
out by six d a thousand counter protesters. Didn't they
like shift it because the straight Pride parade thing became
so like such a joke around it that they're like, well,
it's also going to be like a costume parade. So

(40:53):
I think that was sort of they're thinking heading in
is how like straight culture has nothing to associate itself with,
so whereas gay culture, like the gay Pride parades are
look amazing like and people have, you know, things to
do like visually that like make them really fun to

(41:13):
look at. They were like, oh, ship, straight Pride is
just black and white balloons, Like what are we gonna do?
So they were like, you guys, do cosplay, do cousplay.
It'll be it'll be cool. It was so well thought
through that on the side it said best solo costume
gets a one hundred dollar gift card to something it's
just Halloween a one hundred dollar gift card to something,

(41:37):
and and a two hundred dollar card goes to the
best straight couple's cause play for something again. Uh wow.
The reason that that Pride parades have a culture to
them is that they have an origin and them just
been made from a whole cloth, like the straight Pride parade.
Pride is in celebration of the you know, the Battle

(42:01):
of stone Wall, where a bunch of queer people got
into a street fight with the police inside of a
bar and barricade the walls up. Well, the reason to
bring this up is it this a straight Pride parade
implies the existence of straight stone Wall, right, there was
some kind of oppression, yeah, or some sort of street

(42:21):
fight with like whoever they're saying oppresses them, like the
PC police Twitter yea that yeah, the queer eye people
saying I stopped wearing cargo shorts. That's my stone Wall, man.
It denotes the day on which queer I said cargo
shorts weren't cool anymore. So, Brooks running shoes with Reebok

(42:42):
white socks pulled up to my knees. Isn't a cool look.
It's violence against me. Man. The Queer Eye guys got
hired to make over their dad and they like boarded
up the walls and ship and they were like to
trying to get in here. Oh god, the photos look
really really exciting, pretty bleak uh and and lo and
behold how many fucking cargo shorts are in this fucking photo. Dude?

(43:08):
There are three pairs of shorts in the picture, or
four pairs, and three of them are cargo shorts. So
good ratio? Yeah. Not A ton of women were showing
pride in their straightness, and AOC tweeted for men who
are allegedly so proud of being straight, they seem to
show real incompetence at attracting women to their event. Seems

(43:29):
more like a I struggle with masculinity parade to me.
I hope they've grown off over the next year to
support joint lgbt Q fam next hashtag pride, and that
set the right wing media off their favorite person, their
favorite lightning rod. It gave them something to cover. It
was beneficial to them in the sense that it gave

(43:50):
them something to cover that wasn't the parade itself, because
that was just self evidently embarrassing. Um. But anyways, it
looks like at this point, straight pride parades are a
resounding oh for three. But you know, keep trying, guys.
I don't know, man. You've seen a Patriots Super Bowl
celebration parade, right, yeah, I mean undefeated, like there's plenty

(44:14):
of Most parades are straight prede parades, right like, well, yeah,
of course this one has a mono culture. Yeah. Yeah,
it's fun. It has terrible masks, it's clowns. Did you
see the weird green clown guys. No, there's a picture
that went around on the Twitter of like a snapshot
of these two guys that had green like makeup all

(44:35):
of their faces and clown wigs, and somebody explained it
to me. It's a after So they took the pepe
a frog and made it all right, you know, and
then they kept evolving it like Pokemon style. So there's
like a bigger one called Groper, and then the next yeah,
it's big, bigger, weirder Pepe, and then there's this thing
called Honkler now, and that's what they were dressed up

(44:57):
as which is like a pepe a frog that's also
a clown own. And I don't know what it means,
but they certainly could explain why they're dressed up as
a frog clown as a way of celebrating the fact
that they supposedly have sex with women. Tons of it.
It's fucking weird. Yeah, yeah, that is very strange. I
wish I had not seen those pictures. Ye oh yeah,

(45:19):
it's nightmare fuel. All right, we're gonna take another quick
break and we'll be right back. And we're back, and Miles,
you were just doing some research into the origin and

(45:40):
aim of Hankler. Yeah, yeah, they You know, first of all,
it's born out of a worldview that you know, clown world,
where a nihilistic idea that like there's an unstoppable force
man of liberalism, feminism, every ism that's turned our world
into a fucking freak show. Um. And then yeah, essentially

(46:01):
Honkler is a mix of honk and Hitler, apparently, and
they want to trick liberals in associating clowns with racism
and to take back the rainbow. Yeah, I mean, I
I for one, certainly associate rainbows with straight people now
after this weekend. Yeah, well look, dude, you've just been owned,
You've just been pooned. My friend, I just want to
suck a clown now. It's really weird. I don't think

(46:24):
it works what they were trying to do. I mean,
if anything, the the thing you take away from the
costume of Honkler is a misuse of color, which is
something that straight people have been doing extremely well at
for a long time. They did not need to further
that brand. Uh, let's do a quick round of what

(46:45):
we're fucking with with Miles Gray. Uh, Miles, you were
out yesterday and we wanted to find out what you're
fucking with. Um, you know, very quickly. I just want
to say the first episode of Righteous Stones I'm working
with heavy. I need to watch the rest. As somebody
who has been near evangelicals and Christianity, it's looking great.

(47:09):
Like I said earlier, making my own dipping sauces. So
what's a what's especially Oh? You know, like I was,
we're sucking around her majesty, and I made a honey
mustard with this spicy honey, so it's like as hot
honey mustard was a recent uh invention, one of It's
just a thing. I'm high and I wanted to mix things.
And also I was trying to make the sauce that

(47:31):
you get at raising canes for chicken fingers colloquially known
as comeback sauce in the South. But I was at
a chicken finger party where everybody brought their own dips.
The fingers were provided, but your real flex was the
dips you brought. So I had to, you know, I
had to look around and make some comeback sauce. It
sounds like a chicken swinger party. Thank you get a

(47:53):
bomb drop on that one. Yeah. And also another thing,
I'm being very careful with my what I bring my
attention to. In the morning, when you wake up, I
just find myself in a very odd place where my
thoughts can take me to somewhere wonderful or somewhere so
fucking dark that light cannot exist. And I realized too,
it's a lot of it born out of like if

(48:14):
I'm looking at the news immediately, or if I'm just
like realizing, let me get my vibe going and put
some music on, fucking move my body a little bit,
and then get into my day and take a ship. Yeah,
which is how I started. Also, I can tell you something.
One thing I'm not working with sliced Brios's bread from Albertson's. Sorry.
I think we were all waiting for you to take on.
Did somebody bought it? Uh? And I tried to make

(48:36):
a sandwich with it. The ship tasted like cake. Like
I I like Briosian certain context, but this ship at
our since it was it was like like pound cake.
It was weird. I think you get it. If you
just want to make French toast like Brios's French toast, fine,
do not make it for a sandwich. It's fucking too sweet.
And that has been what I'm working with. Is there
any do you have any tips for people who are

(48:58):
trying to keep their attention kind of in in good shape,
you meditating? You just I think, just think of whatever
your morning patterns are. Like, I think we're so quick
to look at our phones and then just get fucking
sucked in. And whether that means, you know, looking at
the healthscape of news headlines or whatever. I think it's good.
Just at the first thing. Keep your energy good, you

(49:21):
know what I mean? And you know, I just I
like to just uh be grad grateful. You know, it's
not really anything my life changing, but it's just something
versus like me obsessing over like whatever the continuation is
of some news thing the night before, I try and
just build some space up top in the morning to
not you know, have any any stimuli come in that

(49:41):
could throw my vibe. Alright, guys, let's talk about who
I think is going to become a mythic figure in
the world. This is a young man who was just
documented in a case study published in the Annals of
Internal Medicine. So he basically suffered from nutritional optic neuropathy,

(50:05):
which is a dysfunction of the optic nerve caused by
a diet low and nutrients required for nerve fibers in
the eye had to function. So basically he went blind
from eating too much junk food. Yeah, my man literally
lost his eyesight from eating horseshit food. But his diet, okay,
was something else. He was He started off as a

(50:28):
picky eater, but I just want to tell you his
diet was basically French fries, pringles, white bread and processed
him and sausage. I mean that's three of the food
groups right there. That is. Yeah, I mean, but it
started because, like he first came in as a fourteen
year old with a normal b m I, they were
just sort of saying, like, yo, my fourteen was fucking tired,

(50:50):
but obviously like when you're fourteen, I was always tired.
I slept nineteen hours a day sometimes uh more depression um.
And the doctor was like, here's some vitamin B twelve.
Maybe that'll get you going to help your you know,
energy up a little bit. But they're also like, what's
your diet, Like what did you try some other stuff too?
He comes back a year later fucking developed hearing loss

(51:12):
and symptoms that were like a related to his vision
that they were like, what the we don't know what's
going on. By seventeen, his vision had regrets to the
point of blindness. WHOA, he's turning into like a daredevil,
you know what? Yeah, in a really tragic American or
well actually this this person was in the UK, but yeah,
just hyper consumption. Way, that's another level to it. He's

(51:32):
like a Willy Wonka kid, right, Yeah, this kid would
be great as a Willy Wonka kid. He needs a
stern singing to buy some oompa loompus, right, exactly get
him back on the right path. But yeah, a lot.
It's just the parents are always saying like, well, he's
just been a fuzzy eater to the point where you're
gonna let a teenager who Look, we don't know how
to fucking take care of ourselves. Even in my fucking thirties,

(51:55):
I barely know how to take care of myself. But
at fourteen thirteen, when you're really is going off of
like what is my desire that times ten? Uh, to
the point some guidance maybe hand holding. Yeah, it's but
it is one of those things like this child has
presented parents of fussy eaters with like the attack bomb,

(52:16):
because like, when you're a kid, I remember, you know,
your parents would lie to you and be like, well,
if you do this, you're gonna go blind. You do
this your eying and stuff like that we didn't really have,
at least in our generation. We have the Internet where
we could just cross cross check that reference real quick.
Now a parent could be like, you know that kid
went blind from only eating fries. They google that ship row.
They used to say, if you masturbate too much, you'll

(52:37):
go blind blind. Yeah, and uh, it turns out you
go blind if you eat too many pringles, so that
they should tell that kid, hey, cut it out, go
masturbate something healthy, Maybe your eyesight will come back. Masturbation
is good for what's it called testostrum production, So maybe
give them a little more energy or man like Tim

(52:58):
Fair says, just you know, fucking grass fed, fatty beef
steak at one am. Let your body process that overnight
testosterone levels be through the fucking roof and you go fight.
M m A. I'm not a doctor, but that sounds wrong.
Just sleeping with a steak next to my head, just
like the alarm goes off? Done to eat it? Were

(53:18):
you at all fussy eaters when you're teenagers you have vegetables?
But I think I hear I have a tot take
on this. I think fussy eating is a classist issue, right.
I don't choose what I eat. I eat what is there?
The only thing that I'm weird about is like raisins. Yeah,
well you really pulled a face. I can see that
you have something going on. The raisins. I really don't

(53:40):
like them, but I would like if I was if
they were around and I was hungry, sure, like like
oatmeal raisin cookies. To me, that's not a cookie. I'm sorry,
that's that's a health food disguised as a treat. They
just don't scans food to me. So when I eat
like a raisin, like an oatmeal raisin cookie, I'm like
enjoying a cookie, and then I spit it out like
it's seeds, like to like watermelon. This part isn't food, right. Yeah.

(54:06):
I don't think I was a fussy eater, but I
I have children in my life, not not necessarily my own,
who are are fussy eaters. And I feel like it's
weird to like make eating feel like a punishment type thing.
So that this has given me, this young man has
given me a lot, a lot of food for thought. Yeah. Interesting, Yeah,

(54:28):
I mean, look, tell your kids eat vegetables at least. Yeah,
that the bare minimum. Inform your kids that there's things
outside of fries, white bread, prinkles in process meat. Yeah. Alright,
let's talk about Harry Potter because it's two thousand nineteen.
What else will we be talking about? Yeah? A Catholic
school in Nashville has decided that they will no longer

(54:52):
have the Harry Potter series in their school's library. What
is what? What dimension is this story? Like do people do?
We still haven't land it on if Harry Potter's fucking
evil sorcery from the Devil. So the quote for their
explanation why these books present magic is both good and evil,
which is not true but in fact a clever deception.

(55:13):
Nice tried Devil. The curses and spells used in the
books are actual curses and spells which right end just
explode everything up. They are actual curses and spells. Right.
A lot of people don't know that, but people those
of us who deal in uh make belief right apparently,

(55:36):
Um yeah, if you say wing guardium leviosa puzzuzu from
The Exorcist shows up hereditary, don't you think like every
child who read those books tried those curses and we
would have definitive evidence of evil spirits by now were
this to be the case. Like you guys, you're not

(55:58):
just if if America's was going to go to hell,
but from reading Harry Potter books, that would have happened.
What happened? That's what is now? Maybe like today like
why did they have Harry Potter up until this point?
They just got done reading it? There? Yeah, like hold
on a second, But these are actual spells. I think

(56:19):
these are actual persons and spells which, when read by
a human being, risk conjuring evil spirits into the presence
of the person reading the text. I love that they
had to write an email to the parents of their
students being like, so we believe in evil spirits. These
are real magic spells. Harry Potter is real. Basically, like, look,

(56:40):
we're sending our kid to this Catholic school because it's
the cheapest private school in the area. If this is
what the fuss going on, we're gonna take him out. Um.
But these are actual spells, y'all. But I like that
they consulted fucking exorcists. They go on to some exorcists
in the US and Rome, that is, which is funny
because the Pope and the Catholic Church technically don't have
a position on the books on the Harry Potter. They're like,

(57:02):
you know, to push we don't know if they're weird.
The Catholic school kind of is Hogwarts, right, Yeah, that's
a private school you go to learn forms magic, which
is talking to God or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, and you
have weird teachers. Man. Right, someone went to Catholic High
School through some Yeah, there were some snapes in the building.

(57:24):
Is that a thing? I think there are snap snapes, right,
snapes on a plane, snapes on a plane. There we go,
We'll drop that bomb. Yeah one more time. Thank you lady, lad,
thank you for letting me do that. Yeah, because see
that that may that may have been an actual curse
or spelling you conjured right there? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, drop
if the bomb. I I like, how like it didn't

(57:46):
work their curses so it's it's like they're cussing, you know,
like expelling armous. Someone's like, I can't believe you just
said that. What did you just say, Jake? Go to
the principal's office, Go to the myn senior's office. Wow? Yeah,
the um I just the idea that if it is
actual curses and spells, then like, can they show us
evidence on the good side of real spells that you

(58:07):
know what I mean. I'm guessing this is not an
extremely evidence based group of people, as they were like,
well we gotta call up the exorcists. The assumption here
is that they all got together and like the gymnasium
at night and tried to do the selling right and
one of them kind of worked that freaked out. Yeah,
something moved slightly, the lifeliquered life liquored around aug board

(58:31):
and they're like, I'm not moving it. You're moving. We're
breaking the Second Commandment. Oh, it just said I'm gay, Jake.
It has been a pleasure of having you. Where can
people find you? Follow you, listen to you? Okay, I
have like three things. We'll do them all right now.

York a lot. Um. And my other thing is a
podcast called pod Damn America, which is um basically a
bunch of stand up comedians who are also socialist organizers
and stuff like that. Um, it's you know, comedy politics
podcast from a sort of radical left perspective. Uh. And

(59:36):
my other podcast is called Why You Mad. It's me
and my friend who's a genius anthropologist, Luisa Diaz, talking
about like the comedy industry and heavy art. Uh, analysis

(01:00:17):
it's on my Twitter. The Wash show as joke was
definitely on Fuco and his Madness and Civilization. Yeah. Um

been enjoying? Okay, this is a good one at Internet
Hippo tweeted kids today only no instant Graham and vape.

(01:00:38):
They should be politically active and then in Brackett's kids
become politically active, and then after that these are lning
grades should shut up, which I think is a good
encapsulation everyone's dumb brain instant instant Graham, I've had enough
of them. Vape miles where can people will find you? Twitter,

(01:01:00):

thousand nine, God please help rescue this little boy floating
in this air balloon. Yeah, remember amen? And also, Jude,

(01:01:41):
wasn't that the dad super toxic? Wasn't plassified? Was like
this whole thing, the placification of American Yeah, it was
like a music video there, Hey like faked it or something. Yeah,
he faked it to get the momcause he was. He
was just like hacking into the national consciousness and pulling
out the most toxic thing that would get a rise.

(01:02:04):
A couple of tweets. I've been enjoying the discourse. Lover
at trill Burn tweeted, thought of a good contrarian argument
to piss people. Quentin Tarantino is a terrible director, but
a great actor. Um and Brendan Sagalo tweeted, I'm Jerry
Seinfeld and this is comedians and cars picking their girlfriends
up from high school. I saw that pretty funny. You
