You know, I'm from stuff they don't want you to know.
Ridiculous History. The new limited series let's start a coup.
Please welcome Ben Bowling. Oh my gosh, back again. Uh,
Happy New Year, guys. We haven't talked in a minute.
I saw, I saw you had my colleagues Matt Frederick
and Nold round over at the very end of two.

(03:03):
How'd that go to be honest and not good? Yeah? Yeah,
it was a bit of a ship show. I think
we were like, we we expected some level of professionalism
based on Ben's appearances here, and man, I think I
don't know what was going on. I think Nol was
like I think he was like tuning a guitar. I

(03:25):
think he got a concert to go to. He was
just very distracted, very distracted, every busy. He's a busy guy. Also,
I I gotta say, you know, to the Zeit gang
at large, you guys know, I am a fan of
this show in a way that has made some of
our past interactions awkward. I want to shout, I want

(03:46):
to shout out. I want to shout out Old. Matt
Frederick's underrated. He said, you know, knowing how to do
stuff in the dark without without you know, without without
the visual element. And I asked him about it, and
he was like, I don't know. I wonder if I
weird Miles and Jack out fucking way has he heard

(04:11):
this show the people we've had on before. Well, all
to say, I stand on the shoulders of giants. I'm
really happy to hear that is off to a good start.
You know. It's it's got the new car smell still absolutely,
which is actually a half drank Lacroix that you left
in the in the cup holder overnight, my bad. Yeah,

(04:33):
and his underrated actually made a huge impact on me,
which is why I've been doing the podcast ever since.
Blindfolded just you know, heightened my senses. Just I feel
like it adds something, Yeah, just a extra layer of
complexity in the edit, because half the time he's like, yeah,
I'm recording, but he has a blindfold on, and they're like, yho,

(04:53):
just just put the blindfold on after you start recording.
All podcasters are daredevil, That's right, Yeah, a d All
podcasters are daredevil. A pad includes includes me. All right, Well, Ben,
gonna get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple

(05:16):
of things we're talking about today. We're talking about the
doomsday clock now, ninety seconds from midnight, which means nothing.
We're now approaching midnight. What does it mean? Well, we'll
talk about what it. I mean. It doesn't mean like
absolutely nothing. It means that a group of scientists think

(05:36):
that it's advantageous for the purposes of messaging of the
around the problems of nuclear proliferation in particular. But I
don't know, it doesn't seem super scientific. So well, we'll
talk about what it means. Check in. We know we're screwed, okay,
finding for so many reasons. We're gonna talk about George Santos,

(06:01):
who was on Hannah Montana was also uh assassinated, almost assassinated,
but fought it off in like a really sick way
with actually like a proprietary version of kung food that
you guys actually don't know about. So yeah you might, yeah,
uh Santos mcgawa Santos. Someone might look like he's just
like stumbling around or whatever, but what he's doing is

(06:24):
actually like what other Black Belts call like impossible and
a miracle of he he learned from Steven Seagal, I
believe was his sense a in terms of like their
main thing is transparency and truthfulness. Except when it comes
to your balding and then you you painted on thick
and sweat it out in your movies. Oh my god. Uh,

(06:46):
the Oscar Nams came out. We're gonna talk about snubs, baby,
We're gonna talk about what we're glad to see on
There Are Are Are was snubbed in every category apart
for best apart from Best Original Song. So that's the
one I care about. The other headline you're gonna see
a lot is that the Razzies are out, and we're

(07:08):
gonna actually take a look at the Razzies because it
is just it's shocking. Like you we were talking about
how the Doomsday clock is not super rigorous. The Razzies
is basically like a club you can join for you know,
forty dollars and there's just nothing there. It's it's absolutely nothing.

(07:32):
The voting is just anyone who wants to pay them
forty dollars. Essentially, it's a it's a pyramid scheme. So
we'll talk about that plenty more. But first, Ben Bowling,
we do like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history? I got to, I got to.
I'll just squeeze them in real quick one, Smedley Butler.

(07:53):
Everybody looked that up. I know, it's a dumb sounding
name and the guy names of yeah, you're having Smedley Butler,
who was like secretly one of the most important historical figures,
and we just like let that go. Well, he's got
a shitty name. I mean, that's just the real in

(08:13):
my opinion, Are you kidding? Sounds like yeah, exactly. Imagine like,
so where should this story have got, Like it's the
subject of your let's do a coup? Is that let's
start let's let's start a cou So back in then
is promoting what's that thing again? The well yeah, but

(08:37):
the business plot, right, yes, sir, Yeah, Just so back
in the nineteen thirties, there were a bunch of well
life absolutely sucked for most people in the US, and
there were a few people who were doing well and
they ran a lot of banks and uh, a lot
of munitions companies like Remington Arms and were it was

(09:00):
a different times. It was a different time backers and uh,
you know, weapons magnates were able to get much wealthier
than the rest of them. Now, it may be difficult
to picture here in tree, but there's this one guy
it was just h he's a hard ass. Uh, he's
a marine, he's an absolute pill. He's honestly a real

(09:24):
piece of shit. But but he had some boundaries and
these uh, this cabole of very wealthy people, titans of industry,
come to this guy and they say, I don't know
this Roosevelt thing. You know this this new deal, Yeah,
it's very red to me. And uh, we want you

(09:44):
to lead an army to put the nation on the
right track. And this guy, uh, this guy essentially says, nah,
I ain't get his bullshit. And uh there's a congressional
hearing about it in the thirties and it's covered up,
and uh, it's a wild ride. And oh, buddy, how
history repeats. That's that's the search history, and history repeats

(10:07):
if they if they bury the ship out of the story,
and like, don't tell you that like the titans of industry,
the same people who still run our country once tried
to have like a fucking military coup like and like
become a fascist nation, like be like jump on the
Nazi bandwagon. Essentially around the same time that that was

(10:29):
becoming a thing. Damn it, Jack, where were you? You
should have written the press release for the show that
was pretty now, but the show. I'm excited to listen
to the show. I I devour everything I can about
about the business plot, the other search history thing. Let's
see if I can say it correctly and throw an

(10:51):
throw podermic biblio Peggy books bound in human skin? Yeah sorry, wait,
hey what? Yeah? You know, Miles, I'm telling you it's
a whole thing, you collect. What the fun? You're describe
a book bound in humans like a skin book? This

(11:13):
is a specific term for it this language. Man leather. Yes, yes,
just so people are crafted in the finest man leather, leather.
You would love to see it? What we hold on? Okay?
Where what the funk? I just wanted to find out
it was real. I was you guys know, when I'm

(11:35):
not hanging out with the swells here on t d Z,
I'm yeah, I'm involved in all these kind of things.
Yeah so so, I uh, I wanted to find out,
for an unrelated thing, whether or not there were any
books actually bound in humans flesh, and I uh, I

(11:56):
found that this question is so common that there's a stupid,
fancy phrase for it in this language. I've got I've
got to imagine like this feels like the thing that
the German language would have a single word for the
English language going like having the two word phrase built out,
creaking it up like that. You know why, Well I didn't.

(12:20):
Oh my god. There's like one that said a book
bound in the skin of the murderer William Burke on
display Surgeons Home Museum in Edinburgh. What yeah, and the
Scottish Museum. Yeah. Yeah, like a super fun at part easy.
That is so fucking weird because like in this Wikipedia
article they said, like there have been like an analysis
of books that were believed to be bound in human skin.

(12:40):
They said, of the thirty one out of fifty books,
eighteen have been confirmed as human an animal leather, which
is still gross, Yeah, would you do that? But also
like to know that you could also if like someone
was really like, yo, that's that skin, right, and you're like, yeah,
Like the leather still also kind of is the eye

(13:00):
test to the point that they had to like go
deeper to analyze it, which also freaks me the funk
out great. I can letly imagine what kind of fucked
up I should have saved that one for when I'm
back in October or something. But yeah, weird stuff. So
my search history is screwed up. It's the equivalent of
a face tattoo. That's that's what that's that's what face

(13:22):
tattoos are in again. Are they back? Yeah, they're back.
It's a day to day thing. It's a little bit
like the doomsday clock. You just gotta like kind of
keep it, keep track of. I can't wait to talk
about that. Was waiting to jump into that double double
dutch style into the face tattoo game. Hold on this.
There's a there's a story about this guy who who
was like I guess gonna be like he had made

(13:44):
a deathbed confession in prison and like wanted this book
made and he said, I want my own skin to
be presented to a man like that. He once tried
to rob and admired for his bravery and the other
to his doctor, and then when he died, they took
his whole back off to make the book. Jesus, wow,
that's so yeah. Sorry, I know I threw us for

(14:06):
a loop. I know then. I know. The mind like
fires off in weird ways as you're about to die.
But like the the people who are listening to that
and being like uh huh yeah, and then I actually
go through flip them over fresh, take it to the tannery.
All right, you heard, Yeah, that's the new face tattoo.

(14:28):
You know what I mean? What's what's something you think? Calendars?
Calendars jack? Uh, It's one of the most ancient technologies
of the human species. It's cartoonishly arbitrary. It's a loadable shit,
you know, and uh, everybody just sort of goes along

(14:48):
with it because we all have to be on the
same page about how you know, there's a Tuesday and
then there's a Wednesday, and that's today, and then there's
a tomorrow, and we can all agree it's Thursday and
take the longer view, and you realize that people in
the past, who we're not stupid, there were no different

(15:09):
from the average person today. They were working with the
information they had, and they were oftentimes, uh motivated by
ideology rather than mathematics. So now we have all this
kind of weird bullshit. I gotta I gotta remember the
leap day birthdays. I gotta I gotta somehow like explain

(15:31):
to a kid that there are twelve things we call months,
and you know you're gonna run into a lot of
people in the wild, who are gonna ascribe a personality
to you because your parents banged like nine months before that.
That's nuts. It's nuts. Everybody accepts it. You guys know.
I don't like to say things are overrated, but the calendars, Yeah,

(15:58):
that's a big say. So what's the Yeah, I'm not
I'm gonna be a shark. If I was on Shark Tank,
I'd say then I'm sorry, I'm out on this one. Oh,
you're you're calendar gonna be Mark Cuban. I'm going to
be Mark Cuban and entertainer. Bad idea, and go, well,
hold on, not tell me what what's what's like The
more math centric argument for account like is you're saying,

(16:18):
because of like our you know, pagan and religious calendars
that we've had to like mash up over the centuries,
is there like, is there like a like a scientific
calendar that people are like, to be honest, we should
be doing we should be measuring time like this. It's
just not convenient. That's the problem. Miles. Like, the the
current calindrical system, right, the dominant one is the Gregorian calendar,

(16:41):
and the older calendars are the older calendar is worth
respecting are things like the lunar calendar, right, that's a
measurable thing that people could see. Uh, the Julian calendar
and the Gregorian calendar when they're all beefed up, they
caused a lot of problems. You know. I think it
wasn't until this seventeen hundreds or so that the monarchy

(17:03):
of the United Kingdom was like, Okay, we gotta get
with the new thing. So everybody, we're just gonna lose
eleven days. We're just gonna collectively fucking skip that week,
and everyone be cool. So you're you're not out on
calendars in general, you're out on this calendar in particular.

(17:24):
I just think, you know, do better. I just like,
I like the anarchy of no calendars, no calendars, just
vibes in a couple of days. You're like, what's a man,
I'll see in three vibes? Okay? Yeah, Like they were
more vague, they're like four score seven many moons. People

(17:44):
were just freestyling. Yeah at some Goldilocks moment, yea, yeah,
I mean there is interesting stuff about Like it was
really the advent of train travel that made it so
that we had to all agree on what time it was,
and before that it was just like people kind of
showed up when they could, right at the second light
of February and like that all sounds like very poetic,

(18:09):
but then you realize they're just like trying to keep
it intentionally vague, like like back then even then, they
were like, what the fund does that mean? Bro? I'm
on the way, Okay, I'll be there at some point.
I'm in a fucking carriage being pulled by horses right now,
I don't know. There's no night man, I'm like, what

(18:30):
do you want me to ask the horse? Yeah? I
also like that in this version, the person who's traveling
instant communication. Oh, they're just sending like, uh, they're sending
a cavalcade of messenger crows, you know, like and additionally,
just the sickest with smoke signals in the world anyway.

(18:54):
Calendars overrated Calendars all right, dude, it remains to be seen.
I'm I'm back in on the idea of evaluating our
current clindrical system. I think we need some calendar, ben.
That's That's where I'm at. I'm willing to like, if
there's another way to do it. I'm open. I'm not
saying we should do it. But I want to hear that.

(19:14):
I want to hear that out loud, described you know, yeah, yeah,
I don't have the answers. That's why I don't like
saying stuff is overrated, because I feel like I'm just
bringing you guys problems, you know what I mean. Now
we have to solve, Ben, I mean, you bring us
the calendar ship, and now Miles and I have to
come up with a new system for organizing days Japtember alright,

(19:38):
Jack denvertober October. So we'll not do that one. Uh my,
my my, may my, my, lie my a lie whatever.
Look we got we have March to work with as well. Yeah,
right in with your you know, your alternatives to the
clindrical system, Ben, what is something you think is underrated?

(20:00):
Oh uh? Specificity of the English language see above the
word clindrical. That comes pretty good. Actually, it's pretty good.
I like the specificity of it to the earlier statement
about the German language just cramming a bunch of shipped
together and saying, you know, that's that's just the thing.

(20:21):
I think we wrote about this like back it cracked
like just the wildest words that exist in foreign languages.
And I think one of them. I think it was
in German and it might have been in Russian, was
like a child like giving birth while standing in an alleyway,
like out of shame. There's a word for that. Yeah,
there's a word for that, like just like the process

(20:44):
of like it's not even laying down to give birth
because you don't want anyone to notice. How come no
one finistrates? How come falling out a window is defenestration. Yeah,
nobody always there for for when it happens. You know,
I just think it's I think it's funny. I feel like,
I guess, do not do not google German giving birth

(21:06):
in an alley way by standing up? Yeah, that's not
a way, you know. That's a good note. That's good.
I keep my safe search on because I google some
weird ships. Yeah. It's just between you and the n
S A Jack, that's right. So they're like, we got
he's completely off the end of the jfk assassination. We
got them all looking up the German words and we
just see in his brain they have their own doomsday

(21:32):
clocks for how close I am to the truth about
the jam second boy. Yeah, Oh, and there's a specific
word for it. It's like, uh, Jack chronologic, Helen Direk
is the demon. Yeah, thank yeah, yeah for sure. All right,
let's take a quick break. But just to that point though,
I'm sorry because Jack, you talk about a feature of

(21:53):
the German language which I think does have this specificity,
and I don't know, I feel like we don't have
a lot of specificity in the English languag It's like
we use a lot of words from other languages sometimes
to like encapsulate something, but we don't have like these
kind of like what we do. It's like mash up ship,
you know what I mean? You know, yeah, you know
the English language I feel like is we have we

(22:15):
have to use a lot of different words to get
it a concept. A lot of the time, the English
language is a bunch of people freestyle e for fucking
thousands of years and just going with stuff, you know.
Like so someone was like, like, imagine how weird it is.
You know, you're learning English. Sometimes you're close to something,

(22:36):
sometimes something's about to close that's fucking confusing, and no
one's gonna fix it. We're all just sort of vibe
and off that anyway. I love it. I feel like
I'm still learning this language. That is one of the
things that comes up constantly when you have a kid.
The calendar less so in my experience, but the spelling

(22:57):
and how completely fucking arbitrary it is, especially because like
my kids are also learning Spanish, and so Spanish just
follows rules, so it's just like, oh, yeah, that's how
you spell that, and then English is yeah, it just
seems before he excepted, like they seem to get distracted
like halfway through words sometimes. Okay, it's a real level

(23:22):
with you. English is a colonizer language where we steal
a bunch of other words from other people. That's why
the spellers all over the place, like shampoo is like
like from the Indian, like an Anglo India, like a
Hindi words from the Philippines. You know, like there's so
many things where it's like what does that means? Like, look,
we kinda once we got our boats up and round
and we just started jacking other people's words and idea

(23:43):
didn't didn't ever best people on it. I do wonder
like do other languages, like is there some sort of
like centralized body that is like that's fucking stupid. Like
another colonizer France has a national body to just keep
their ship buttoned up on language on the language front

(24:04):
in true story, Well, I don't know if it's interesting.
I don't speak French. I just walked around Paris, you know,
doing like a white over bite, you know, like yeah,
like I look like I say my os right, you know,
right right right there, you go, all right, let's take
a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back,

(24:35):
and the doomsday clock is back. It's now ninety seconds
from midnight, which is the closest that's ever been set
to armageddon and its seventy six year history. I'm not
like here to say and just ignore this ship out
of this everyone, the people making these decisions are dumb
first of all, like yeas, it doesn't sound great or

(24:55):
horny for the Cold War, the I guess the we're
ad And of this comes from repentant Manhattan Project scientists.
Created by Manhattan Project scientists and set at seven minutes
until doomsday. The extremely scientific reason for that was because

(25:20):
the artist who designed it thought it looked good to
my eye. Wow, got it started at two pm? Bro? Yeah, yeah,
like good good A gaves the breathing room, you know.
But I guess the thing that it causes the invention
of a clock like this is obviously going to be
not not a moment where they're like, we might need
this eventually down the line, right, So they invented at

(25:42):
a time when they thought this is a problem, and
they were feeling bad for helping to invent a thing
that like turns people into shadows, No, burns their shadows
permanently into the ground, burns their shadows perfectly into the ground,
and yeah, evaporates the rest of them. So there are
their intentions are good, though it's it's not, as you said,

(26:04):
kind of vigorous, but they're they're saying, look out right, yeah,
look out for what we made there. And they also
like in line with the clock oppose, like they dropped
nuanced policies and like fixes, and it's just all ignored

(26:24):
except for the USA Today little colorful chart in the
corner that they did with the clock. It's like they
they've summed up the entire problem of nuclear proliferation to
a little US USA Today color pie chart. Everyone's just

(26:45):
paying attention to that, because of course they are, because
it was designed like it's perfectly shaped to just stick
in the American brain. Yeah. Also, I don't think it's
helping their k that like a wait, when you go
to these articles and you click through on like the

(27:06):
doomsday clock, you know, predictions and stuff like that takes
you to a website that is also selling a book
at the bottom that says the doomsday clock at seventy five.
All right, it's like a full color like coffee table book.
We're in TikTok category. Now, who has time to read? Well,

(27:30):
it's broken down into nice little it's like what the
page that I screen capped here does look like a
Instagram timeline or you know, like it's got all the Okay, no,
easily digestible. Okay, no, that makes sense. Yeah, easily way
to digest how the proliferation of nuclear weapons and geopolitics? Yeah,

(27:50):
keep it simple to end your world. Yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah.
It's also not that accurate. Like so during the Cuban
missile crisis the clock stood still at seven minutes to midnight,
they were like, the ship's overrated. And it also just
seems to be like so it also just only really
focuses on the prospect of a Russia US nuclear war.

(28:13):
So like the reason it is now closer than it's
ever been is because of the conflict in Ukraine and
ship that the West cares about. In other words, like no,
there's no movement of the clock with all the nuclear
debtonations off of like the Velor incident off you know
Marshall Islands, which we talked about previously. That ship doesn't

(28:37):
move the needle, right right, Yeah, I don't know. Well,
I think they were doing those tests after before they
became repentants, to make them repentant. Man, No, no, what
was the first clock? Then? What was the non doomsday
clock when they were unrepentant? What was their fucking ya clock?

(29:01):
I think high five in at the in the fucking
lab or something obnoxious watches where both hands are like
the minute hand and the out hand or high five
in each other. Yeah, yeah, no, I I know about
the nineteen eighties. We're doing the Mickey Mouse watch that
she was. Yeah, hey remember bobcat goldweit War one in

(29:21):
Police Academy and then he ruined it in the pool
and then he said he killed one of my favorite lines.
That that's funny. I wonder like that was what my
my favorite comedy for many years of my life. Police
Academy one that's like the only good copaganda out there

(29:41):
because they're so stupid, you're never like I want to
be them tells the truth about how stupid police are,
h but not about gay bars. Their depiction of gay
bars seems to be slightly off. When they go to
was it the Blue Oyster? I think they go through. Yeah,
that song L A Bimbo plays, which is when they're
just waiting for a straight guy to accidentally bumble through

(30:03):
the door so they can force him to slow dance
with them. You know it's funny. At my wedding, I
danced with my mom to that song Bimbo because look,
I'll give some people some insight to my wedding. My
mom twisted her ankle when she like like a few

(30:23):
days before the wedding, and she couldn't move, like your
ship was busted. So we had to figure out a
way to do like a dance that wasn't her standing
and ship. So I'm stupid, So I did a whole
thing where she was seated with a cane, and I
danced around the cane but to that song L Bimbo,
And then at the end, my mom tossed the cane
and we did like some like medicine show. Ship. We're like,

(30:44):
I was like, oh Ship, she got up on her
feet and she did a dance move. It was a
whole thing, but everything was set to the background of them.
That's a moment though. That's amazing, just to show you
how much in my fucking skull that's I'm like, that's
the best joke song I've ever heard in my life.
Police Academy might be coming back anyway, you know, it

(31:05):
depends on the Doomsday Clock. Did the entire top or
the entire act that you and your mom choreographed? Was
it reliant on people knowing Police Academy? It's more just
stood on the Yeah, they're like, what is this song?
Because the whole thing was like I was like going
around doing all this like joke fucking Bluth ship around

(31:26):
my mom like sucking jazz hands and ship, so I
needed choreography. Was amazing. Yeah, it was, it was. It
was something else, but anyway, that's amazing. We digress. Yeah, anyways,
like the Doomsday Clock is specifically about, you know, the
possibility that Russia is going to news like when when

(31:46):
nine eleven happened and the US was suddenly on a
war path that was going to kill millions of people.
The clock didn't seem to really you know where you
where were you on that one? Dip shit, it seems
you did clock that one. Oh, let's talk about George Santos. Yeah,
all right, Well, you know Representative in Congress Jorge Santos,

(32:13):
Tony Devolder Stark or whatever his name is, who represents
Narnia's fourth district, is adding even more ship to his
lie pile. And we talked about the lies. Of course,
we kept track. He lied about this school, he lied
about where he worked his fucking job, that he's like
he's wanted criminal apparently in Brazil. But he fucking somehow

(32:34):
keeps getting better with the kinds of lies that like now,
like only a nine year old would bother telling. So
last week a lot of his spelling, like hold on, sorry,
just real quick, are we certain, I don't know, have
to make fun of people spelling? My spelling is not great?
Are we certain though, that he is not a series
of six year old in a trench coast? Because his

(32:56):
spelling is on par with my kindergartener? Sho, we gotta
check his Twitter, you guys, you might you might say
it's confirmed he's the first collaborative Congress member. Is a
group of kids that the lies and the spelling really
are leading me in that direction, But go and thropa

(33:17):
dermic pd man. Yeah, yeah, a bunch of kids wrapped
in skin pretend to be no dark That the darkest,
the darkest direction that a Silent the Lambs reboot could
take is that it's three toddler, three young children trying

(33:38):
to create a skin suit. But yeah, George Santos, just
by the way, you gonna take credit for you guys
film idea, just so they can buy movie tickets there.
We gotta run for Congress first. He's gotta fake idea. Na, no, no,
come on, what's going on with this guy? Though? This

(33:59):
is still a thing, right, Like, I stop trying to
keep us on track right now, Ben, we're doing a bit,
you know, but for real, thank you professional podcaster here.
But again, we pointed out, like a lot of people
pointed out that, you know, the hypocrisy of this k
legislator who is like voting against his own community, being
like completely anti drag show. When we found out he

(34:21):
himself performed and dragged multiple times, and he denied it
at the time he said it was a one off.
I'm just gonna play this so you can understand kind
of like what how he was handling it When people
are like, hey, we saw those picks of you as
Kitara in Brazil, like what's good? Like are you we
thought you said drag was bad, but you're doing it.
This is him trying to find a way to like
shrug off the reporters to explain why he's just doing

(34:43):
his things. Young and I had fun at a festival
for having a life. I don't know if you heard
the other Price said is your mother at the World
Trade Center on nine eleven, because that was I think
we talked about he said. I mean, I feel like,

(35:07):
I don't know, every time I see reporters hounding someone
like this, I immediately feel sorry for the person or
like m like slightly drawn to their side. But obviously, uh,
the details do not support that assessment. Bro, I've been
to festivals as well. You know it's you could own
that though nobody Yeah, that's only the only people. It's

(35:30):
a problem for these This makes you fucking cool, which
you knew at one point when you were bragging about it.
But this is him basically being caught between rock and
a fascist party, where he has got to be like, ah, well,
there's no way I can be like, yeah, funk with drag.
I already made my bed hopping in it with these
fucking people, So what the fun I'm I supposed to do?

(35:51):
Like that would be something if he was like, yeah,
what's the problem with drags? Like, but you just voted
never minds or whatever. But when you look at his
own Wikipedia page that he altered himself in eleven, it
tells the exact opposite story. It says it shows that
a user named Anthony de Volder, which is the name
he uses uh Santos alias, was writing that quote that

(36:12):
he quote started s t a r t t e
d U his stage life at seventeen as nd gay
nightclub drag queen, and with that one seven ral s
e v r a L all caps gay quote, beauty
against against the Yeah, it's it's a real, it's real.

(36:36):
And you weren't going to crack on spelling, Jack, you
said you're not like his spelling in particular just really
reeks of being three six year olds trying to come
off as an adult and like using quotes all weird
and out of Weird All Caps nightclub drag Queen All Caps,
Like it's almost a single quotation over stage. Yeah, well,

(37:02):
I guess because that's like a specific but it's I
don't look, he's lying and that's all he knows. But
I do want to continue because the sort of revisionist
history of him has not ended. There Again, people point
out his bio, which is full of This is from Politico,
which is full of spelling and grammatical errors, appears to
contain fantastical descriptions of his supposed career in show business.

(37:24):
It claims that he had a part in Disney's Hannah Montana,
among other examples, I'm sorry what talent? I mean what
you were and what you were in Meigos two. Hey, hey,
I'm from Atlanta, so you're basically part of Meg's Yeah yeah,

(37:46):
oh yeah, yeah we all are. We are you from
North Atlanta too, because that's what watch wait till he
comes out. He's like, yeah, man, straight out North Atlanta.
You're like, I'm sorry what, I'm sorry? You were on
T shirt too? You said, yeah, I was speech short
on T shirt. People don't know that. But again, it
doesn't even stop fucking there. This guy went on a

(38:07):
Brazilian podcast like right in Like in the early December
to claim that he was robbed on Fifth Avenue and
also had an assassination attempt and made on his life.
But he's like very casual in this interview, He's like, man,
that was a good try to cat me. I'm good,
I'm moving. But wait fifth Avenue in the US, and yes,
at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and fifty fifth Street.
He says he was intercepted by two muggers on Fifth Street.

(38:29):
The criminals took his watch, his briefcase and found time
to demand that he hand over his shoes as well.
And this is from this is This was an interview
in Portuguese, but it's translated to him saying, quote at
three in the afternoon. Uh yeah, this happened at three
and in the afternoon. And before you ask, they weren't black,
they were white. As a matter of fact. He decided

(38:50):
to put that in there, so okay to kill and
was like, now now imagine they're white, right, Like, how
is this not okay? So previous to Santos, there was
another guy who was a prominent public figure who is
bad at lie and that's Jesse Smolette, right, and Jesse

(39:10):
Smilette is like, yeah, he's accidentally doing too much improv.
He's like yeah and yeah, yeah, and was just dropping
Jesse's Smallett's like on the rend, like casually. That's like
one of the lies that we've learned about today. He'll
drop with Jesse Smolette. In the first quarter there it is,

(39:32):
you know what I mean, that's where he's. By the
fourth quarter, we don't even know where the funk we are.
Suddenly we're in am Eagles video and he's Hannah Montana.
And that's the thing, this Hannah Montana. I love that.
I'm glad I got to bring that song back because
it is banger, man, it's a banger. But here's the thing.
The other like in this there's this article written by

(39:53):
one of it's in English. It's written in English by
one of the people that was there for this Brazil
At Portuguese interview, and they're like, dude, it's the most
frustrating fun interview with this guy. He's like not to
mention that he said. He claims he's like fucking robbed
and like one of the busiest parts of Manhattan when
Manhattan is one of the most surveiled places. There's they
can't find a police report him. They can't Yeah, they

(40:13):
can't find a police report. They can't find witnesses. He
he says, like, I don't know, it's probably somewhere, you know,
this kind of stuff. And he also in that same
interview said that New York City has three hundred drag
shows in schools per day. That's my favorite lie. Wait,
like like right now, by the end of today, there

(40:33):
all have been three hundred drag shows across New York
City schools. Right, well, that's great. I mean it's probably
great show, you know. Yeah, wow, that just three hundred
a day, just dropping. Yeah, But he's he's just taking
whatever he was using to lie before, where he was

(40:53):
like again a child who was claiming to have been
in Hannah, Montana and I would robbed the famous drag queen.
And then now he's just using that same like lying
abandoned and like back then it wasn't like a thing
anybody was believing. But then you hook that intent up

(41:14):
to the Republican Party and he just makes up the
lies about the things that they want to believe, that
cities are extremely dangerous and that they are just cramming,
just fucking forced feeding fuak grass style our children with
drag entertainment, and like the he starts lying about it

(41:34):
and it's good enough to get you elected. You guys
gotta interview him. You got you gotta have him one.
I mean, imagine the amazing stories. I mean I could
finess the funk out of him. You know what, set
up a whole fake podcast so you can see there's
like a feed with shows and we're like, oh, yeah,

(41:54):
this week we had so and so, so and so
that are people like, oh, we interviewed Peal before he
passed away, also Rue Paul, you know, like we got ever,
we got everybody on here, then we'll get him on.
I don't think I actually I don't think I can
handle it. I would just be like, are you for real? Man?
Like going on, what is going on? George? But yeah,
apparently even these people who tried to interview or when

(42:15):
they interviewed him in Brazil, he had no interest in
engaging any of these like lies that he would say
just breathlessly. And I think, to your point, Jack, that's
that's kind of the kind of that's sort of the momentum.
I think the Republican Party wants is to have everybody
in lockstep, just be like a regurgitator of lies, no thought,
just like cost don't even worry about like your own

(42:37):
dignity at this point. Yeah, but anyway, so he's he's
still there. Uh, there's there's a lot of calling him
to resign, but as he said himself, he has no
interest in that. So look, he may he might be
on the new Outcast album by the end of the day.
Damn it. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
be right back to talk oscars and we're back. And

(43:12):
I did confirm during the break there is no confirmed
new Outcast album, just rumors. So yeah, just was googling
or about to google. I'm old, I don't. I can't
tell the difference between when Miles was joking and not anymore.
But let's talk Oscar. Like I said, I'm a great liar,
like George Santos breathlessly will say things like out he

(43:33):
has a new album. But he's a bad liar. That's
the amazing thing is that he's a bad lie. Republicans
come is why how the probably want you to exactly
Let me tell you about the scourge of biracial people
better with no except for me misfortunate by racial person.

(43:55):
I wish I could change things that I could, y'all.
But yeah, I mean luckily, I'm right. I'm right. So
we're so we're saying Santos is probably not up for
an oscar You know what we should We should just
fucking ask him. I bet he's got a supporting role
in something. Yeah, he's probably claim he was Jamie Lee
Curtis actually and everything everywhere all at once. One of
these performances at least was inspired by and he's like,

(44:20):
you know, the hot dog thing, those sausage fingers, those
long mass fingers, that was me. Yeah, I gave that
to Daniel. Well, you never forget what Daniel was. But
I told Daniel. But I think just generally, as we
talked about before, like the direction that America wants to move,
like the that like the mainstream American culture, Like you

(44:41):
can tell a stupid lie in the direction of like
right wing fascism and like right wing fascist talking points
and it's going to work for you. You can throw
a coup that tries to overthrow the government and they
will bury that ship. If that had been a coup

(45:01):
the business plot in the early thirties. If that had
been a coup like to try and do a communist
overthrow of the US government, that got as far as
it did, the like we were, the heads of the
plotters would still be on pikes like in every US city,
and their family members like that, they would still there
would be museums to that ship. Yeah, they're big country

(45:22):
songs about it and ship. Yeah, alright, Oscar Nom's best Picture.
It's a it's a fun category. We got we got
some hits. We got Avatar, The Way of Water, Banshees
of inn Sharing, All Quiet on the Western Front, the
German film that came out on Netflix. Shout out to

(45:44):
my middle school teacher who made where read that book. Yeah,
it's a it's a classic of middle school teachers. Shout
out to spark notes on that one. You just gotta
live in it for a second. Yeah, Elves, which I
think is part of the Santa Claus universe. I think
that's Alvis Elvis. Yeah, my brain, my brain is refusing

(46:06):
to acknowledge that is in the best picture category. But
all right, man, we're in the year of maximalism. It's
on the list right there, next to Everything everywhere else
at once, which deserves to be there, The Fableman's which
I haven't seen, Tar Top Gun, Maverick Triangle Sadness, which
I need to see still. That's like kind of the
one on this list that I'm I'm like excited to see.

(46:28):
And Women Talking, which is the title of a film
that's not just some random thing Jackson, Yeah, dude, that
you have you heard about that film? That one? I
mean women Women Talking? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I want
to see that one too, for sure. That's Sarah Polly, Yeah,
exactly for Sarah Paulson. No, Sarah Polly, Sarah Polly yeah yeah, Okay. Anyways,

(46:52):
there's some snubs. The best director category is all dudes, right,
you couldn't even get Sarah Polly in there, like bothering
to nominate Women Talking for Best Picture. But then you
can't even be like, and you know it might be
one of the best directors too, that made one of
the best pictures. They were like women directing, that's too far,
you know, Women Talking will allow its Yeah, with the

(47:16):
Women King, which was pretty dope, kind of got shut out,
like there's it didn't get nominated for Best Picture, didn't
get nominated for Director Viola Davis was viewed as a
front runner for a nomination for The Woman King and
got snubbed, So that that one's pretty frustrating. Let me
ask a question, though, because you guys are way more

(47:38):
plugged into this sort of stuff than I am. Who
the fund is Oscar? Like, I I know, there's the
Academy Awards. It really look I think the old myth
is that it resembled someone's uncle named Oscar, and that's
how that that name got like put onto the statuette.
I mean, I trust you, but this sounds like some

(48:00):
Santos level stuff. Look at up. I believe you. I
believe you, But I just like the Academy Awards. Can
we say I knew we were going to talk about this.
There's a lot of great film out there, but it
feels kind of rigged. Dare I say, like, I'm not
plugged in. They're not. I'm not in the Producers Guild

(48:20):
of America or whatever. I'm not getting anybody checking in
on what I think about a film's merit. But like,
how can you? Hey? Hey, but they do ask us
about the I Heart Podcast Awards? Now they do? They
are we are involved in some award giving that's all internal. Yes, yeah,
we're kind of big. But but the thing is like,

(48:40):
is the Academy award process. Is it something that you
guys would say, is is fair? Or is it something
that's more like changing in the wind of opinion. I
just don't know. I'm clueless on this, I think more
than I think. The one consistent thing that I remember
Jack saying early on was like, like, include movies that

(49:01):
do well, like stop looking at it through this narrow
lens of like cinema because now like this is like
the first year that we're like, oh, look at these
blockbusters that are fully like part of it. But I mean,
on some level, all of these things are easy to
influence because for the longest time, the criticism was levied
against the Oscars that they're just copying the Golden Globes

(49:22):
because the Golden Globes nominations would come out before the
Oscars and it was informing how those nominations worked. And
then like they were starting to be like, we're actually
gonna announce our nominees before the Golden Globes like months out,
and people like what just to prove you, like that's
not going hand in hand. But I think on some
level there's like a I guess there's like an internal
momentum that it brings people to say, you know, like

(49:43):
that like how they're voting. But I don't know. I mean,
it's it's it's a it's an industry that's like like
rife with parties, fucking gift bags. Like you know, there's
just ship like this all the time to you know,
create goodwill for a film. Yeah, it's an industry award show.
You know, it's like industry insiders rewarding one another. There's

(50:06):
like a weird thing this year, like I think a
lot of people are calling out this movie to Leslie,
and like it got there was this big ground swell
on social media of people supporting the lead actress in
this movie to Leslie, and it was like Gwyneth Paltrow

(50:26):
hosted a screening of the film and like it made
twenty seven thousand dollars at the box office, so like
nobody saw it, but like all these celebrities suddenly like
we're on board and like pushing this. And I know
some I know a good friend of mine who is
invested in like best actress the best Actress race, like

(50:47):
not not professionally, but just like cares about that stuff.
Was like, yeah, she's actually like great like it. You know,
it makes sense that she was nominated, but it does
feel kind of suspicious like that. There's some skepticism that
a bunch of celebrities all just decided to start supporting
their friend and that it wasn't like some sort of

(51:10):
pushed from an agency or you know, some you know,
some agent or like behind the scenes machination because they
want to cast this actress and something in the future,
or like somebody is tied to her career in some
way that makes it beneficial for that to happen. But
you know, yeah, I think there's always interesting stories behind

(51:31):
the scenes that don't come out come out for years on.
I will say I always say that they should be
nominating movies from five years ago, and I do think
that they completely left Nope out of any of the
major categories. I think it's going to be what's going
on with that Nope was amazing? Yeah, I think that's

(51:52):
gonna be one of those things where that's one of
the movies we remember from this year and that people
still talk about and like it's still all in custom
like years from now, and you know it's but the
oscars miss it because they always miss because all these
people who are assigned to C. A A. Decided to
sing the same from the same hymnal suddenly and be like, hey, man,

(52:14):
you hear about this Andrea Rise bro oh she's the
next thing. You're about this Tobias Bluth. Like it's like
what the funk like arrest of developments just going around me, like, hey,
you're about this guy? Yeah, it sounds a little bit
like a conspiracy. I know, it's it's kind of on
the nose for me to say stuff like that. I mean,
but there's I mean, look at just even like the
celebrity crypto thing. There's a dissorted web of connections with

(52:34):
all that fucking n FT garbage that happened, and like
you're like, man, it looks like the connective tissues seems
to be Reese Witherspoon's husband, right, but you know whatever, Yeah,
you know what I mean? Are are? I think also
the movie that people My my theory on that one
is that they didn't nominate it because that they were

(52:55):
they were jealous of how much of a movie it was.
So they were just like no, we can't. I can't
have people seeing that. But well we'll see five years
from now. What what holds up? I do want to
talk real quickly about the Razzies because that continues to
be like a major headline like that. This year they

(53:17):
nominated movies like Blonde, the Marilyn Monroe biopic, which also
on a Day arm Miss got nominated in Best Actress
category for that, also More Bious, which you know, was
a bit that people liked to do. It was it
was meme. It was fun meme for a little while.
They also nominated a fucking twelve year old. Yeah, that

(53:41):
was fucking that's what what if that's not you know,
like that's it's you're supposed to do it like adults. Yeah,
I mean like going after the fucking adults in their
own I'm like, who is that for? Is it? It's
just for that like Reddit forum where people like hey children,

(54:01):
because you do ask like, well, what what was the
institutional like intent behind ridiculing a twelve year olds performance?
And first of all, they've been doing this for years,
like they've they nominated Brookshields when she was thirteen, Macaulay
Culkin like three times, Jake Lloyd from Star Wars The
Phantom Menace. He was eight at the time and later

(54:26):
later revealed that like bullying, that's traumatic, that's that's bullying. Yeah,
there's not really another word for it. You know. The
Razzies are complete garbage for a number of reasons. They
published transphobic jokes. They repeatedly referred to Transformers Age of
Extinction as trainees number four like that. So that was

(54:48):
like recently, and they thought that was like funny and
worth putting it, putting out there in a national like
a story that they knew was going to get national attention.
At least they do the thing the Academy won't do,
which is nominate more black people. Yeah, the worst actor
of the year. What then is that? Yeah, they've given

(55:10):
at least fourteen Acting Razzies to black actors, where in
the same time thirteen black actors have revealed received Oscars
for their work and in the same time, so that's cool.
They seem to really have it out for black actors,
which is cool. I mean, it's like when you look
at it all, like the hatred of like a boy
who was Anakin Skywalker, like racism, you're like, oh, this

(55:34):
really is it's like the Internet found a way to
give awards. Basically, well, so that's exactly what it is.
So you you sit back here like, all right, what
is this like bizarro academy of racist creeps? And it
turns out it's anybody like to vote on the Razzies.
You just have to pay for an annual membership online
which starts as low as forty dollars, and you can

(55:56):
also pay five hundred dollars. And then I'll like try
and rope in twenty five friends into like joining your
voting membership. Yeah, yeah, and then they and then they
find friends. Well I'm assuming you're paying for them at
least on that first one, but then yeah, they become

(56:17):
your downstream and their next the next year, they're like, hey, really,
the Razzies are wondering if you're going to re up
with me to be part of my Razzies team. We're
actually having to get together in my place. A little
later on, I thought of you because you hate kids
and black people. This is perfect. It's like, where did
they get their screeners, like someone server where they just screeners?

(56:41):
There's it says specifically in the by laws there is
no requirement to have seen the movie first. Yes, A
Time to be Alive. Yes, we win. We wait, we win.
There's the whole thing started out as a joke by

(57:03):
one publicist and his friends during an oscar party, which,
by the way, if you know any publicists wolf that
that's exactly where where people the sort of hellish origin
story I would expect from this. But then it got
picked up by CNN and eventually spread around and for
some reason, these publications still give this ship oxygen when

(57:26):
it clearly just needs to be killed. But like, like,
what's that? How much fucking revenue are they? Like? That's
the thing, Like they're like, man, we got a cash
cow fucking internet a Yeah exactly. I mean it's it's
the perfect award for our time. It's so aggressively stupid

(57:48):
and like just zero thought put into it. And yeah,
that's about right. It's about right. I like how they
the founder, Maureen Murphy said that, they're like, you know,
we wouldn't have we wouldn't have not neated Shelley Duval
if we know how hard she had it on the
set of The Shining Shell. For her performance in The
Shining like one of the great performances. Wow, yeah, you

(58:13):
know you're dumb as ship, but like you're like, if
you you know the fact, the fact that they recognized
her performance is better than the Academy Awards, I guess
I guess you know her the absolute worst reasons. So wait,
what we're saying then, is that we could you guys
and our producers and me and all of us listening

(58:34):
at home, we could fucking hack the Razzies right for money.
Yeah jeez, that's the way they do it. I mean
it's like, yeah, go ahead, like you can try and
change some ship. We're getting forty bucks every time. I
think the most efficient one is to buy five one
because that's twenty votes and the math works out better
than buying memberships. So you would have to like do

(58:56):
a go fund me or something and then just really
drive towards so some voting that And now someone who
is in the midst of all this chaotic, terrible stuff
in the real world in is like I'm gonna slide
my five there, you know, like it's very important to me.

(59:21):
The starvation, climate change, famine aside. Yeah, let's fix this.
I'm looking at this. Oh wow, this art teacher with
like new supplies for their classroom. That fuck that we're
putting out theati on the board. Also, Babylon appeared nowhere

(59:44):
on the Razzies, so I think they made a mistake.
They know better than to touch Police Academy. I hope
that's a great point. I bet. I wonder if any
police academies were nominated for a Razzie. I feel like
that's the sort of thing they would go after. No,
because they would be jealous that somebody else like wrote
those jokes, because like, those are the sorts of jokes

(01:00:06):
that they seem to prefer. So interesting A part of
me just things like, no, that's sacred material. Man, I'll
talk ill about Police Academy. I mean, as you got
big for their britches, gentlemen, Police Academy four called out,
which is a shame because it's clearly the culmination of
the franchise is that Miami Beach. Look, I'm not a

(01:00:27):
doctor of Police Academy. That is oh that citizens on Patrol,
Citizens on Patrol with the hot air balloon on the
VHS cover. Yes, sir, I believe those cartoonish film covers.
When when can we go back to that? I know
the House Party reboot did it, and I was like
I'd like to see that that style come back Police

(01:00:48):
Academy five Assignment, Miami Beach, The rare two colon double
Cullen movie title five Assignment in Miami Beach. We need
the audience to know what they're getting into, guys, say
the producers. Right, well, Ben as always pleasure having you

(01:01:10):
on the daily zeitgeist. Where can people find you? Follow
you all that good stuff? Yeah, you can find me
in a burst of creativity calling myself at Ben Bullen
b A W l I in on Instagram. You can
find me harassing Miles and Jack on Twitter. You can
also tune into shows like stuff they don't want you
to know. I think I'm contractually required of hold up

(01:01:33):
a book. We made a book, that's the thing. We
made a book. And how many pages? How many pages?
Oh jeez, alright, let's see it's four pages. But they're
very nice pages, saying yeah, yeah, now you know Collectors Edition,
human Skin. We don't know. But the the the other

(01:01:57):
place you can hear me with my right die friends.
You know, you can find Matt Frederick Noel Brown with
me on stuff they want you to know. You can
find us on Ridiculous History most importantly. And I don't
know if I'm telling tales out of school this let's
start a coup show. It's fucking crazy. It's like we
made a scary thing, a dark comedy. If you like

(01:02:20):
the film Death of Stalin, then you are gonna dig
this ship. And so please check that out before I
get fired for being involved with it. And and uh
and and that's my bit. Yeah. And is there a
tweet or some of the work of social media you've
been enjoying. I I got, I got two real quick

(01:02:41):
ones I loved. I found this one through our pal
Robert Evans. Guy named Zane GT. Cooper hipped me to
this thing that there are AI reproductions of historical figures
that you can have a chat with, and uh, they
are very not good. It's it's a damning observation of

(01:03:06):
just the dangers ahead in the world of education. You
can see a link I put where this guy talks
with an AI representation of Henry Ford and asked him
about anti semitism test by going from going Nazi on him,
he uh, you know, deny right avoid and uh, it's

(01:03:31):
just you can see other conversations like this with Ronald Reagan,
for instance, a reproduction thereof reproductions of all these historical
problematic figures. I don't think they can do Henry Kissinger
yet because that guy is still alive, still here, still
shipping the bed with us on Earth how anyway, So

(01:03:52):
that's that's something that I think we should all keep
an eye on other social media. I I really like
this overweight, one armed monkey out of China. It's called
Ching Ching, and it's just, uh, it lives with it
lives with this elderly monk, and it's it's just some
eye bleach, you know, it's it's weirdly wholesome. It's probably

(01:04:15):
propaganda if we're being honest, because it is state approved.
But you know, I feel like I'm going through it
like those cooking videos I loved on YouTube. I was like, look,
it's all whimsical and just stay propagaind I'm like, ah, man,
well it's shot beautifully. Well did they shoot that on
the red? That's right, dude. This exchange, I'm sorry, like

(01:04:35):
with Henry Ford is so fucking weird, like asking a
questions like oh no, Like I mean, those those comments
that were in the Dearborn Independent were wrong and offensive
and I deeply regret them. Then the person asked, but
you were famously an anti semi. My reputation as an
anti semi is based on a few isolated incidents. Yeah,
because I heard that they were. They had like an

(01:04:57):
apologetic Hitler, because I guess the program I mean is like,
well we can be you can't. You can't do Nazis,
so like Hitler's apologetic. So yeah, if we had time, like,
if we had time on this episode, my olterior motive
was to try to convince you guys to do a
staged reading of that conversation with fake Henry Ford because

(01:05:21):
it's just, oh my god, it's Yeah, it is funny
because it acts. It's basically if Henry Ford had a
pr had a publicist who was alive in Yeah, that's
what it is. How it reads. It's like, it's like, look,
we're not trying to deny things. That's bad, but here's
some other context around my terrible world view that might

(01:05:42):
help while also saying it, but it's bad, it's bad.
Mm hmm. Miles, where can people find you? What's a
tweet you've been enjoying for work of Mediagram? Whatever? Ship?
I I just saw the Doomsteay clock, We're ninety seconds out.
I'm it for the big ride, baby, as I think

(01:06:04):
Nicholas Cage says in face Off. But some tweets I
like you find me again At Miles of Gray. We
have at symbols. First one is from at at Dan
White tweeted, met my girls parents are the first time.
Last night couldn't have gone worse. Only goal was to
make good first impression, and instead I accidentally walked in
on her dad going to the bathroom eleven times in
two hours. At Rachel Millman tweeted, when can we turn

(01:06:29):
the tide on all the newer quote unquote museums? Uh
just being selfie slash Instagram photo spots. It sucks so bad,
which is so true. The things that we're calling museums
now really don't work. And then at sim Simmas, who
got the keys to Mabyama? Which I believe I'm just
gonna finish that lyric from that handle, uh said. Learning

(01:06:50):
that Peprika is just dried and crushed red bell peppers
was really shocking, Like I don't know why I thought
there was a peprika tree somewhere and what consider me
shocked as uck? Oh cue. The more you know rainbow right.
Uh no, no, we're gonna hit Yes, there ain't no

(01:07:12):
paprika tree. But also the red pepper like that just
really makes me like paprika much less red pepper, red
bell peppers. Yeah, it's just funny too, because like when
you look at like like in a Spanish like if
you buy spices, like like a Spanish brand, like it's
gonna have bell peppers on it and be like bimenton

(01:07:33):
like right, but we're like paprika, oh smoked paprika alright?
Uh tweet I've been enjoying toler t O. L. E
R tweeted. It's just my most profound belief that if
you hold in diarrhea will turn into normal ship after
a couple of hours like a diamond. Yeah, just diamonds

(01:07:57):
up and this guy is doing his cable, so I
guess you know what I mean. Hey, you know, powerful,
powerful muscle. You can find me on Twitter at Jack

(01:08:19):
link off to the information that we talked about in
today's episode, as well as a song that we think
you might enjoy. Miles, what song do we think people
might enjoy? This is a track that I'm fairly certain
is by Asap Rocky, but I don't know why. On
Spotify it's the artist is called Fragments of the Mind
and the track is called BOMBA b A m B A.
It's it's this is an ASAP Rocky song when from

(01:08:42):
what I've seen on the internet, I think this is
a leaked track, but like because someone's put it under
a different name, like it's just been cooking on or
on Spotify and like other streaming plays platforms. So check
this out. It's also got a really dope sample from
this like Senegalese artist. It's just a really dope track.
Check this out. It's it's just like it's a single
little poppy. Yeah, it's asap afrobeats poppy. Uh. It feels

(01:09:07):
like it feels like maybe him, you know, being with
Rihanna and then like maybe he did some mushrooms. He's like,
you know what, I don't have to talk about mixing
the purple drink and the yellow stuff and then call
it Pikachu. He sounds very sad. He sounds like he
read those Rihanna dump Asap Rocky rumors and and wrote
this that day before. Everyone's like, no, they're fine, they're fine,

(01:09:28):
they're fine. Oh my god, because the things like clip
my wings and like throw my ring away. No, you're
right there all right for people to be vulnerable. Yeah,
it's nice. It's just there's like but it's it's always
funny when you see these rappers who start off one
way and then they're like, yeah, you know what, like
I'm I'm fine being a little more vulnerable. Now let

(01:09:49):
