can't bake like can't bake like this. That is a stretch.
They also do one for the Clippers, but there's only
one team in this city, so we will you're not

(01:05):
even gonna use the Clippers one. I mean, I'll read it.
It's a it's an unfortunate franchise in this city that
has had to live in the Purple and Bolts Championship.
We'll see you. Let's look at the can and uh,
we've got how high Leonard Green, crack Path smokerly dude,

(01:26):
Indie could do bits Midnight Tooker, Maurice Mother Grass Harglass.
Who are those from? Uh? These are from Matt Dick
at Matt Dick. Though, well done, Matt Dick. And we're
through to be joined in our third seat by the
hilarious comedian Mike Feeney. Hey, how's it going. Welcome, Welcome

(01:49):
to l A. Yeah, this is a great it's a
good city so far. There was a there was a
montage with the Hollywood sign, women in bikini's all blading
on the thenice boardwalk, and then you showed up here. Yeah.
I mean I I literally my first hour here yesterday.
I just someone told me to go get lunch somewhere
because I had time to kill before I could check in.

(02:10):
I was like, why don't I go? Why don't I go?
Somebody goes to check out that Fountain Coffee Room place
and that Beverly Hills Hotel thing. It's like some downstairs
you know whatever. So I walk in there and sit
down I'm like, oh, this is pretty you know, twenty
five dollars for a sandwich. I'm like, all right, I'm
officially in Los Angeles. Yeah. And then it became even
more like because like two seconds later, uh, Justin Bieber

(02:34):
and his wife walk in and sit right next to
me the entire meal, and I'm just like yeah, and like,
nobody bothers them, nobody talks to them, and I'm just like,
this is the most l a I've ever felt. You know.
Did they pray over whatever they ordered? Dude? I mean,
I gotta be honest. They there wasn't a lot of
talking between them, you know, I don't know what was. Yeah,

(02:55):
a lot on their phones and just there was some
there was some tension there, but they I mean, I
gotta tell you, Haley is I mean, just breath down.
I didn't. I didn't immediately recognize who she was. But
when she walked in, you know when you just see
somebody and you go, I don't know who that is,
but I know they're wildly famous, you know what I mean,
like just the media and then he and then he

(03:15):
walked in and then I was like, oh, that's of course. Yeah, yeah,
but you know they seemed pretty nice. I guess a
skateboarder on skid row and yeah, cool, that's just the
new vibe. Like is that I wonder younger listeners, is
it normal just to be on your phones all the time?
Is that like the new younger people ship? I get
I feel bad when I'm on the phone too much,

(03:36):
like around somebody, but it feels normal. That's where I
get weirded out, where it's like, well, you're doing your
thing on your phone. I'm doing my thing, but it's
like this used to not be well, you know what
it is too, which is like this is why I
feel like kids are more socially awkward now, is because
they don't whenever they're in like a party and then
there's an awkward moment of silence and they don't know
what to do. They bust the phone. It's like their

(03:56):
have it instead of having to overcome that weirdness by
either making conversation. I'm talking to somebody, Yes it is,
which is so bizarre to me. But it's like, you know,
I'm sure it's it's great to have, for sure, but
I think it's stunting, you know, social growth. I forgot
my phone actually, precisely in this kind of situation on
going to a party where I didn't really know many people,

(04:18):
and at first it's like, oh fuck, I'm gonna have
to pantomime having a phone because I'm not talking to nobody.
And then I just like was able to just kind
of sit when you actually don't have it. I didn't
even think about I was like, you know, what what's
up man? In that discomfort, Yeah, asked the uncomfortable question
of Hi, what's your name? Hi? Who are you doing?

(04:38):
I love when somebody takes the phone out and they
hold it, but they don't like as you're talking to them,
they kind of like have it, you know, like whatever.
Whenever this takes a turn, I'm going in. Yeah, you
are one boring story, but part of Long Island you from.

(04:59):
I'm from Mountain Stuff, a county way out and where
Bagel Boss is from. Yeah, exactly. Actually it's him. Yeah.
I mean, I mean honestly, when I saw that video,
and everybody that I know from Long Island, when we
saw that video, we were like, this is just the
first time someone's pressed record. This is this is such
a normal occurrence, Like not just that guy, but I mean,

(05:20):
like that's just people fighting and bag and like in
Bagel stories about being short and Italian, like it's just
such like it didn't I was like, oh yeah. And
then the fact that they went so viral and what
I'm curious for for a Suffolk County native in his
videos where he's like, I'm trying to fuck all right,
I'm going on this boat email my manager only women

(05:42):
from Suffolk County, okayel post fame Bagel Boss. When he's
just trying to funk on I g Live and saying
it had to be from Suffolk County? Is that is
he thinking of a specific kind of woman when he says,
or is it that it's just local? No? No? No?
So what is he a specific type of uh? Suffolk?
I mean women? Long Island women in general, for the
most part, are like Italian brunettes, blonds only with the highlights.

(06:06):
You know what. I didn't know? I like, I didn't
know that. I always grew up and I was like, man,
I really am attracted to blonde women with dark eyebrows.
And then I was like, oh, I eventually realized like, oh,
that's just a brunette woman with blonde hair. That's what
bond there, that's how that works. But no, Suffolk County
would mean uh usually overly tan brunette, maybe with some

(06:29):
like you know, blonde highlights. And because Nassau County is
known more for money, so also Suffolk County is a
little more trashy, so there's a little more like middle
class lower middle class. Uh you know, where's Teresa Capital
from Long Island medium? Uh that I'm not sure because
I feel like that's what I'm envisioning. But yeah, that's
like a level five Suffolk County fun A comedian friend

(06:52):
of my New York City comedians, very funny Brendan Tagalo,
has a joke where's very I think, which sums it
up very well. Where it's like Long Island women like
to do a thing. Would it be like like let
me suck your balls, you know what I mean, like
a w you know, like well, uh, shout out to
the Long Island medium who we all are imagining sucking
someone's now. My mom is is all into those things too,

(07:14):
all of the Long Island medium John Edwards. If you
can tell her that you know a pass pet is okay,
She'll give you money. You know. It's uh. He loved
Lucky alright, Mike, we're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're
gonna talk about Singles Day eleven eleven, which is a

(07:36):
thing I do not know about, but it's the biggest
shopping day in the world. We're gonna do a quick
check in with a couple of little details of the
impeachment story. I'm talking about impeaching this creed because that
is going live tomorrow. Uh, today, today, today, it's been
going on, but right, we don't know. You're probably getting

(07:57):
update later today. Yeah, possibly, Oh yeah, we're gonna do
an update later today. I guess check it out. We
did one downloads. Uh, we're gonna talk about We're gonna
pour one out for Pete King. We're going to check
in with the CEO of Uber. Uh. Look at a
scammer who's not even trying that hard to scam, just

(08:19):
like has her face on the front of a fake
Time magazine. Level scammer strolling her way into the State Department.
In the State Department. Uh. And then we're gonna get
into some fun stuff about Michael Jordan's sonic the hedgehog. Uh,
and the fact that we're genetically predisposed to hate certain vegetables.

(08:40):
Every parent to mute this section when you're if your
child is in the room because they have scientific evidence
why they don't work with it. Yeah, Yeah, I feel
like that's a lot a lot of stuff that like
kids were saying, we're gonna have scientific proof that they
were not. Yeah. But first, Mike, we like to ask
our guests, what's something from your search history that's revealing

(09:00):
about who you want? Like, you know, what birthday cake
for breakfast is actually very healthy for a small child.
I mean, as we're gonna find out about Michael Jordan's like,
we don't know shit about what's good for certain people.
Certain people can do whatever the funk they want. Famed, famed,
well now disgraced, famous comedian Bill Cosby. I used to

(09:23):
have a thing about how he was saying the cake
was it's got everything, it's got eggs, it's got milk,
It's like it's all good for you. Any raped a
bunch of people. So um, anyway, my Google search history,
here's the thing that you guys should know about me.
I am I procrastinate a lot. So one thing that

(09:44):
I did, which is embarrassing to admit, is that I
literally spent thirty five minutes looking at like dogs that
I could adopt, like I like went through like filtered.
It was really like getting into it just to procrastinate
having to scoop the cat litter in my apartment from
having two cats. So I was like, let me just

(10:05):
would getting a dog be easier than scooping cat litter?
Like that's that's I couldn't even which is like catada,
the most low maintenance animals of all time, And I
was like, what's got it up after themselves? Right? Got
a newborn puppy that's probably less, you know. But I
also I google things like wildly specific questions that I
have and I've never not had a like a result yet,

(10:27):
you know what I mean, Like no result there, Like
you know it'll be like, hey, I just spilt a
great fruit seltzer on my PlayStation and now it's in
the left control or how do I get it out?
And there's three thousand results of that. That's what's yeah, yeah,
very much. It's one of my favorite things in movies
is when somebody google something and it's a zero results,

(10:48):
and it's like that has not happened in the last
I'm sure you could think of a combination of words
that would probably like they'll like google someone's name and
they'll be like zero h are you? Uh? Yeah, I
suppose so in terms of my own like comment, like
if I said, if I asked you would if you

(11:09):
would describe yourself as a perfectionist, would that resonate with
you little? Only in terms of like my work, you
know what I mean? Like if I if I'm putting
out like videos or doing stuff, I'm very you know,
very hard on that. But otherwise, I mean sometimes procrastination
is a trait in people who are perfectionist. Okay, yeah,
I get like that too. For sure. I will literally,

(11:31):
like you be like, what's what's thed? Like the other
option to actually doing this thing that solve my problems
resonated with me? What does something you think is underrated? Okay? Um, well,
first off, I'll give you a local one and then
a universal one. Just from being in Los Angeles for
twenty four hours, I'm gonna say walking is underrated here

(11:51):
because I walked yesterday from Beverly Hills to West Hollywood.
And when I told people that, they act it like
I was Forrest Gump that just got done with the cross,
Like someone threw a foil blanket over me. I was
like what I was like, Yeah, I was like, it's
two miles. They're like two miles like Zuber down. You're like,

(12:13):
it's just it's seventy three degree. It's the perfect walking weather. Um.
So that's what I would say is underrated here, but universally,
I gotta say I just I just like made this
connection recently. I have a thing where every time I
hear a helicopter, I have to like find it in
the sky, you know what I'm saying, Like I know

(12:34):
what it is, but I need to find it. Yeah.
And and not even because I think it's going to
be a threat. I'm just like, that's a helicopter, right,
and I got to see it. Yeah. And the feeling,
the feeling of finding it, for some reason, is such
a great feeling where you like, it's not a cat.
I love that, you know what I mean, Like, whatever
it is, we all have to find it. You've got
to find it in the sky to congratulate yourself. Yeah, right.

(12:58):
The one I really the small vic. Your eye sense
is when you know, like it's a big sound, so
you don't quite know the direction that's coming from when
you almost go it sounds like here, but I know
it's here. Yeah, and you look exactly that's right right. Yeah.
Growing up living underneath a flight path of an airport,
you hone those aircraft sound skills. But that's one thing

(13:19):
I really it's funny. I was in an uber recently
and the fucking I heard a fucking like heavy military
helicopter and I was like, oh, ship, what is that?
Like a chinook or something? And I look up and
I fucked up. I looked the wrong way, and then
it was the other one. And in my mind, I said,
you knew it was the other side. You fool broke
your trying to look out. There's something forever Like it's

(13:40):
like snots being able to scratch an itch if if
you don't find it, you know, and then it's out
of your sight mind you're like, oh, for sure it hurts.
There's one thing I know. It's the sound of a helicopter. Yeah,
that's a real man's man. Uh. These are things that
become relevant again when you have like a three year
old three year old fucking love helicopters. It's like, such

(14:02):
a helicopter flies? Oh yeah, well any large mechanical flying
through the sky you ever taken to, like the fire department,
like when they're just out there for free. Just a
construction site is like, we'll stop it, We'll pull over
and just look at a construction site for like twenty minutes.
He knows all the different all the different trucks, crane, truck,

(14:24):
telescope and crane like bulldoze are different types of excavators.
Like I don't even know. Yeah, I didn't know that.
What is something you think is overrated? Man? It's I mean,
it's mostly technology, technology based stuff, but like I hate
I hate read receipts. I thought I loved him, but

(14:47):
I hate him. You know when they you know, you
can have those on the iPhone when it says red,
because I thought I was like, oh good, Because if
I text somebody, you know, sometimes they don't write back
and you get mad and you go, what the hell
and then you go, oh, they didn't read it yet,
so it's okay. But you can get away from that,
you know what I mean, Like you can you can
check it on your computer and not check it on
your phone and then it may not show up as
red or you can see that it's there, but then

(15:07):
they still go on social media, so you're like, now
you're actively ignoring it, which drives me crazy. And also
the insecurity of like is there anything worse than when
you reach out to somebody and this isn't This also
goes for like Instagram or Facebook and you get that
scene and then they don't right back, and it's just
like triggers every insecurity in your body, or you just
want to be like, well, you know what fun? You know,

(15:28):
like I was inviting you to a wedding and now
you know it's like I'm laughing at you to ask yeah,
yeah exactly, like sorry I was in a meeting and
you're like, oh never mind. You know you really for
a person who like I overthink things, it really makes
me go from one to attend. You know, Now, if
something shows up as a push notification and you you
read it, but you don't like open it back up,

(15:49):
does that give like it can't tell? Usually yeah, you
have to open and go into it so they could
see it, swipe it off their thing and then not
open it and then just leave it there to die. Yeah,
I did that thing where I I got into a
fight with somebody last week and I I like, uh,
I was advised. It was like, dude, the smart thing
you should probably just you should just like apologize. So

(16:11):
I was like swallowed my pride, sent this like big
long apology started with me like I'm sorry, man, send
this whole thing. Read receipts on still hasn't read it
as of this morning, and this was last week, and
it's it's making me blood red mad, and I'm just
I'm leaving it alone. But it's like killing me because
every couple, you know, once a day, I'll go back
and look and it still just says delivered and not read.

(16:33):
And it's like I see It's like you know, you
post something, you go on their Instagram and you see
them like on their laptop with I message open in
a separate window, and you're like, so you saw it,
So you saw it. Yeah, i't even want to apologize,
you know what I mean, like you get so mad, infuriating,
but yeah, all that stuff is like they're people like
I just I just got this new iPhone and they

(16:54):
tried to upsell me on the Apple Watch that was like,
they're big, they get the watchet and I was like,
I don't. I'm like, I'm sped thing essentially, like on
this phone. I want to use it. And they're like yeah,
but then if you don't have your phone and you
can use it your watch, I was like, if I
don't have my phone, the days over right, the world
nothing is getting done until the phone has been reclaimed,

(17:15):
all right, So I'm not gonna just just wandering. Yeah, exactly.
So you can talk into this too, so I don't know. Yeah,
I mean that's cool. If you're not doing that, well
that's fine. You can just say that. Yeah, what kind
of sales tactic is this? I get if you're like
an active like if you want to use it for
like the heart monitor stuff or whatever. But I'm like,
if the difference is keeping it in my pocket or
using it's like, well, I'm just paid for this, I

(17:36):
want to look at it, you know, so just you
know whatever. But yeah, they cannot. They can also solve
your murder apparently. Oh yeah that's the y avenge me, Miles.
My Apple watch ever catches somebody murder? Yeah you have? Yeah,
I got one. You want to see a terrible tan line.

(17:57):
Oh my god, you can see your veins that is
as so tight, very tight. Yeah, it's a little too tight, Mike.
What is a myth? What something people think is true
you know to be false? Okay, well, I mean the
obvious one here is obviously you know, Kirk Obain was murdered.

(18:19):
But if we're you know, before we instead of going
down that rabbit hole, I will say, uh, Jeffrey, Yeah,
of course. I mean. But in regards to like vegan stuff,
where people are like, you know, like vegan, a lot
of people like vegan ship is better uh for you?
I don't. I don't think that's true, you know. I

(18:39):
think it's it depends on what you have. But like
this impossible burger and all that stuff that's out right now,
it's all it's so much processed stuff in order to
make it look feel squeezed, taste like actual meat. And
then like I go into uh this ice cream. I
don't know if they have them in Eli, but Thissess
ice cream place in New York Van Lewin's it's like
this like high end like hip story ice cream Press,
and they do they do vegan ice cream and then

(19:01):
they do regular ice cream sign go in there, and
I'm like, you know, I'm I'm watching my figure. Maybe
I'll get like some vegan ice cream that's probably healthier.
And I say to the guys, like this, this ice
cream is healthier, right, And he was like, no, this
is significantly worse for you because he's like the amount
of it's like coconut milk and all the stuff we
have to put in to make it taste like ice cream.
He's like, there's way more calories and way more sugar
in this than actual ice cream. And I think that's

(19:23):
been this sort of debate, especially around the meat playing
based meat options. It's sort of like what's the trade
off in terms of what we're doing to synthesize all
this stuff to get it to this level versus the benefits.
I mean, I get the I think the carbon argument
is probably the most potent in terms of like, uh,
like a vegan diet, like the environmental impact. But yeah,
I think at a certain level, unless you're just just

(19:44):
if you're not banging just straight vegetables, then you're just
getting the process. But it look each their own, yeah,
and and again if you're doing it for like animal
rights reasons stuff, like that. That's you know, all power,
more power to you. But it's just when people try
to be like, well it's a healthier lifestyle, it's like,
well I don't I've never seen Well there's first, there's
levels to it, because I you know, I have friends
who eat vegan and eat the like all junk vegan

(20:06):
food like, and they're they're not really in it for
like that. They're like, well, you know, I don't even meat.
I've never seen an incredibly in shape vegan person. I
really that's true. And everywhere. Yeah, but I feel like
there are always people who get really in really good
shape and then go vegan right after that, you know
what I mean, or the first and people Keto is

(20:26):
pretty big now in this city. Is just the just
rife with people on every kind of diet imaginable. So
I've seen it all. Yeah. Yeah, there's some professional athletes
who have like gone vegan. I think they have a
lot of mm A people or vegan. Not a lot,
but that's a good, big thing that's happening even in
mm A. Yeah, that's I don't know. That's what Joe
Rogan was telling me. Yeah, we're friends with Joe after Yeah, Castors. Yeah. Yeah,

(20:54):
we talked like once a week. I mean he does
most of the talking three four hours. All right, Mike,
before we get to the news stories, Hey Miles, it's
Jack right now. I want to talk to Miles here
about Hello Fresh product that he and I have both
had the pleasure of sampling over the past couple of months. Favorite,

(21:17):
let's say, our favorite recipe on three one two three.
Are you serious? Yeah, for sure. I was so good.
I really it was probably the best thing I've ever
made myself. Me too, well, actually, yes it is. It's
probably yeah, you know you're pretty good. Yeah, but this
was really easy to do. What I really like about

(21:38):
Hello Fresh was like it's just the perfect amounts. You
can't really mess it up. And it's also flexible. So
if you have like your you get your weekly orders,
you can add extra meals like maybe those maybe it's
not hitting enough, and you have a little more space
in the tank, so you can add stuff on like
garlic bread or cookie dough so you have a little
dessert or a little more starch. And you can even
change your delivery days because I especially, you know, sometimes

(22:01):
you have time to make it, sometimes you don't, and
you don't want to have a bunch of food piling
up in your refrigerator. So they're a little more flexible.
I know, it's less waste. You guys, it's good for
the environment, it's good for you. It's good for your
family if you have a family. Uh, and it's a
lot of fun to do. Whatever. Rub that my face.
You don't have to go to the grocery store, which
I love because I do the grocery shopping. And it's

(22:23):
all very easy, step by step even I could follow it. Yeah,
pre measured ingredients, pre measured you just know, Jack cut
up these two garlics dumps in bowl. Great, it's a
great product. H And right now you can get nine
free meals with Hello Fresh by going to Hello Fresh
dot com slash t d z and using code t

(22:43):
d Z nine. That's nine free meals with Hello Fresh
by going to Hello Fresh dot com slash t d
Z nine and using code t d Z nine. Boom,
nine free meals. Get it in all right. Now, let's
talk about Ali Baba, which is the Chinese Amazon. Basically
would that be e commerce behemoth? So, uh, they have

(23:09):
a sales day called Singles Day eleven. Eleven is it
for is it basically like a reverse Valentine's Day. Essentially
it started in like at a Chinese university in this
idea that eleven eleven was Singles Day because it was
four ones, the loneliest number. Um, And yeah, it just
became a thing to either be like, yo, we're celebrating

(23:32):
that we're single, but has evolved into also a day
to celebrate your relationship. They say in China, four thousand
couples married in Beijing on this day in twenty eleven,
compared to the average of seven hundred a day. So
you know, some people like that as a as a day,
but I did not. I didn't know that. Essentially, over
time had basically become Black Friday on steroids. It's Black

(23:55):
Friday for the entire Chinese economy. And it's why like
it puts Friday to shame. Yeah, yesterday or two days ago,
they sold well, I guess last year for Singles Day
they sold thirty eight billion. This year they did so.
This year on Singles Day they sold thirty eight billion
dollars in merchandise. And for perspective, Black Friday in two

(24:18):
thousand eighteen in the US did six point two So yeah,
I mean, look when they have when you have the
hugest website, biggest website promoting it, and apparently they were,
like live streaming was another huge angle to promoting all
these sales. Like live streams have become more and more
part of like, you know, promoting any kind of commerce

(24:39):
or consumption. Uh yeah, it just made it the I
think it was up from last year. So yeah, and
it wasn't just like it was all kinds of products.
A lot of people are like, well was it just
all Chinese products? Like no American everything that's basically on
their was was up for grabs at deep discounts. It's
a wile that they can just keep creating holidays to

(25:01):
be like you know, like Valentine's Day and you know,
the Singles Day, all these like contrived, like you know,
consumer based holidays, and then people just eat him up
and eat him up if there's a sale. I mean,
it could be like it's fucking the third Thursday. Yeah,
but that's the thing. And that's the thing too, that's
like people don't get. It's like if you even the

(25:21):
people that tweet about it or whatever that are like
this is so dumb, but then they're still talking about
it like you're just making it, you're just spreading it,
and you're spreading the virus. Yeah, it's viral content. Yeah,
I mean thirty eight billion though, that's just so it's
incredible to just think about that, Like, you know, Black
Friday just in the US is so big, but obviously

(25:42):
that's the difference in population size. But yeah, that you
do thirty eight billion in a day. And a lot
of other companies were getting in on it too, Like
I didn't realize at first. I was like, wait, why
are what the fund was? Singles? It really caught me
off guard because I saw other websites here you get
your singles day sales here. Had no idea, but it
makes sense, man, because you're on your v P n
uh on my VPN cruising, you know, trying to look

(26:04):
at highlights from Europe and things like that. Even like
someone told me I should get a VPN, and I
just that's the thing. You have to pay a month
monthly for that or yearly, but I mean, if you can,
that's a really one of the better ways to protect
your your data. That's one of those things like that,
And like there's people that have those like apps that
are like, oh, I store all my passwords in this

(26:24):
one super encrypted place, and you're like, I mean, is it,
Like how do you you know what I mean? Like
you just kind of take their like if somebody there's
no way that at some point technology won't advance to
be able to hack into those one password thing and
then they just have all your passwords to everything. And
with VPN I guess it's like but there is there
no one more of a shield to put up between

(26:45):
you and like an Internet service provider and anyone trying
to understand what's actually happening with the that's being transmitted
on your But if somebody wanted to get in there,
like government or something like that, they could still The
Chinese government deaf because a lot of people in China
use vpn is to get around the Great Firewall. But
the government there is even getting a little bit savvyer
on how to track VPNs and things like that. But

(27:08):
I feel like the Chinese government they use they allow
like they know what's going on with the VPNs, but
they allow that because of for American business tourists, you know,
and that tourist bout American businessmen were coming in who
need to be able to send emails or go on.
You can still send your emails and things like that,
but there's certain websites you just can't get in China.
So that's when people use VPNs because they want to
look at, you know, the Western version of like YouTube

(27:30):
or whatever. They can't tell where you're coming from. All right, Uh,
something everybody's thinking and talking about today. Let's check in
with the impeachment story I'm talking about in this we're
here locked in this bunker, so we don't know what's
happening on TV right now, but just some stories leading
up to the televised testimony. So Conda Lisa Rice, you

(27:53):
remember her, Oh yeah, former Secretary of State. Yes, yes,
she's saying it's murky, but by sically implying that it's impeachable. Yeah,
the call. It's like she said, what I see now
right now troubles me. I see a state of conflict
between the foreign policy professionals and someone who says he's
acting on behalf of the president. But frankly, I don't

(28:15):
know if that's the case. It's troubling, It is deeply troubling.
You can come harder than that, right, So it's like
she's a prominent Republican but who was supposedly being thrown around.
Does it possible is she gonna like jump in if
he got impeached or like if he talk about that?
But when troubling is like the most cowardly criticism from

(28:36):
the right of the president. You always here, that's Susan
Collins go to it's troubling. It's troubling. Okay, is it bad?
Do you are you pushing back against this? Do you do?
You do you oppose this? Yeah? But there's this gap
that's opening up between the people who like, for instance,
Jesse Waters, who's the dude who went to Chinatown and

(28:56):
made a bunch of racist jokes like Fox News, Yeah
years ago. Uh, And so he is really confused why Drudge,
the Drudge Report is printing news about the impeachment like that.
He's like, why why is he publishing all these headlines
that are unfavorable to the president. So it's like you're

(29:19):
seeing the same thing with like Conda Liza Rice and
like Matt Drudge. It's these right wing people who are
still like, well, but I'm still in reality right something. Yeah,
I'm still I still like have to look at what
is actually happening in front of me, and boxes putting
it like front page on their website, like yelling at
your dog could scare it. Yeah, he legitimately said, I

(29:43):
know he's a true patriot, Like I don't know if
something changed in his heart or in his mind. It's
like I love people call each other patriots. Yea, what
I mean, like, just uh, it's so weird. I always
go right to the Mail Gibson movie. Whatever I think
of him running picture he like stabs a guy with
the American coat with the American flag. That's peak patriotism

(30:09):
and we've all been trying to reach that ever since.
Uh yeah, well it's interesting. I mean, yeah, that's what
we were really having to see. The cognitive dissidence really
start to boil up more and more because now we're
dealing with you're gonna hear, you're gonna see people on
TV say the ship out loud, and then what then,
how You're gonna smear everybody because that's what they're gonna do.

(30:30):
They're gonna like, well, Bill Taylor's a plant. That Gordon
Salmon who actually paid the Trump campaign like a million
dollars in donations to become the ambassador is somehow some
kind of deep state operative um, but you know, would
be nice to scorn. I feel like a lot of
what they're doing is they're just it's like kicking the
can down the road, where it's like, you know, there's
so many checks and balances that like to go through

(30:52):
all this process, just as like, well, if we could
just postpone and push and then we know it takes
so long for anything to get on that it's just
like by the time it happens, the next election is
already going to be here. Yeah, And if that's clearly
the tactic with a lot of these people trying to
sue to get out of testifying, because then it's like, well,
if we can just delay as long as possible, will
lose momentum. But you know, increasingly, I think they find

(31:15):
themselves kicking the can down like not a road, but
like those walls you see on a movie lot that's
canted like the horizon, and the can is starting to
actually go off the wall, like hold on, I'm trying
to kick this thing down the road, and they're slowly
approaching that moment we're like, okay, this is what it is.
Now what Yeah, Because there's like there was a Republican

(31:36):
who basically said, you know, it's bad, but it's not impeachable.
And Trump was like all over that. Dude was like, Yo,
you can't can't say it's bad. It was perfect. Shut
the funk up. Alright, let's talk about Representative Pete King, who, Yeah,
Long Island proud of his Irish heritage, is what Schumer

(32:00):
said about him. Chuck Schumer gave a very glowing I look,
I just know him as Mr. Too many mosques, Yeah,
that was too many mosques? Yeah? Uh and he I mean, really,
the news about this, I think just shows you how
truly terrible it is to be a Republican in in
Congress right now because so many people are jumping ship,

(32:23):
are retiring. I mean, he's a fourteen term congressman. That's
a lot of terms. Yeah, and to fully just be
like I'm gonna retire just shows you this will happen
in the mid terms too. I think it just shows
you a they're fully resigned to the fact that they're
not going to win the House back. So they're like,
fucking dude, I'm not even I'm not even trying to
fight this, Like I'm just it's easier to retire because
I don't want to have to. You know, essentially, anyone

(32:44):
who's up for reelection and as a Republican is going
to have to answer for the policies of the president
at some point, and many people just don't want to
do that anymore. People who are have their feet planted
on earth and are like, this is gonna be tough
to keep talking about reality in public, but they also
don't want to acknowledge that basically, and also with social

(33:06):
media too, it's like all these it's like, you know,
you can go. People are really starting to dig into everybody,
you know what I mean, where it's like fourteen terms ago,
people didn't like go back and look at all the
ship that you've said and done that you might you
know what I mean. At anytime somebody retires from something,
I'm like, what did they do? What do they what
do they got back there? Yeah, there's no reason that
you would leave unless something is huge. He just you

(33:28):
could tell he was just losing steam defending the president,
Like in the beginning, he was all in slowly just
it just like was wearing like and you know that's
what happens because I think at some level, you see
that some of these people have like half a soul
and they realize, like this is it feels fu up,
like I'll do it because I'm such a partisan. But
also on the other level, it's just like I'm I'm

(33:50):
not built for this anymore. Like I don't have I
don't have quite quite I don't have it in me
to quite totally to bury my head in the sand,
just keep moving. And everybody who has had long term
deal things with Trump say that's like essentially how he
treats everybody. It's a parasitic relationship. At first, you're gonna
be good with it, and then it's just gonna wear
you down. You're gonna have to get out there. Uh,

(34:13):
you know, you hate to see it. Schumer that that
just bummed me out, man. I mean, I think it.
I think it was illustrative of the difference between like
old style Democrats and hopefully this young kind of lifeblood
that's coming up with the newer class. But Schumer issued
a statement where he was just like talking about how

(34:34):
much he loved the student, how they like we're able
to put their differences aside and work together, and that
he was like proud of his Irish heritage, which for
somebody who veers that close to white supremacy is like
a real weird like dog whistle e Like yeah, well,
I mean he I mean, he wasn't really even dog
whistling with a lot of his racism anyway. But right
now I'm saying Schumer like talking about him, well, I

(34:58):
think because Pete King what like he would he was
wearing like Notre Dame Irish ship even when he was
talking to the press to like be like I'm retired,
like he's that is pretty I think of him as
like the Irish congress person. It is weird too, because
we are in like a culture now just where it's
like if saying if you're a white guy and you
say proud like it just like immediately yeah, yeah, very

(35:21):
careful now you know it. You can't realize the diversity
of my city, Yes exactly. Yeah, you really gotta say
you gotta be careful. Yeah, so yeah, I mean, but
also like Chuck Schumer's just that old class where at
a certain level they sort of see all all the
other congress people, regardless of parties, sort of like we're
in the game together. And when I have to when
I have to put my partisan hat on, I'll do it.

(35:42):
But then at the end of the day, weren't just
kind of we're all cronies. Yeah, I feel like all
of I feel like politics in general, it's like, you know,
it's like that Iceberg analogy kind of thing where it's
like we see just that tip of what's going on,
but there's so much beneath the surface. There's so many
It's like backdoor dealings and all this stuff where it's like,
you know, it'd be like, uh, you know, be like
watching a football game and then you see the kickoff

(36:03):
and then all of a sudden, it's like in the
second half and you're like, wait, what was that. They're like, oh, well,
don't worry about we did some stuff, and you're like
put the score. You know. It's like like I'm trying
to root for this one team and you're like, well,
you know, we'll we'll tell you what to you know, think, yeah,
but I think that's part of it. Like, yes, you're
supposed to be able to work with people who you
have differences with, but you don't need to, like, I mean,

(36:23):
your job is also to represent the people who are
your constituents, and like there are a lot of people
who are his constituents, who you know, Peter King was
openly discriminating against. So you know, yeah, that's your job
is to like work with people. But that's my job
to open people. I'm a Republican in Congress. Of the
folks you want from me? Uh, all right, let's talk

(36:46):
about Uber. Apparently the Saudis are the fifth largest investor
in Uber and uh, somebody was interviewing the CEO and
they were, you know, trying to reckon how that fact
the Yeah, Dara koshra Shah he he dumb funked up

(37:07):
in an interview with Axios because yeah, they were bringing up, hey,
you know the Sovereign and what is it the Sovereign
Wealth Fund of Saudi Arabia, Like they're, you know, one
of your board members represents that, which is, by extension,
the investment vehicle for the Saudi government. And you know,
Mohammed been Salman basically greenlit the murder of a US

(37:27):
based journalist. Um, isn't that kind of weird? And so
he was asked this question directly of being like, how
do you square that sort of with this dude on
your board? Do you think like he should be up
for election if people don't want this person on the board,
and this is how we kind of well, but from
your opinion, he represents and works for a government which
you believe had a role in the murder of journalist

(37:49):
who was a US resident. Should that person be on
the board of a US company? I think that government
UH said that they made a mistake. Well, I made
a mistake and somebody's and it's it's it's a serious mistake.
We've made mistakes too, write with self driving, UH, and
we stopped driving and we're recovering from that mistake. So
I think that people make mistakes. It doesn't mean that

(38:11):
they can never be forgiven. I think they've taken it seriously.
And the c I didn't suggest that they made a
mistake and that was an oversight, like with self driving,
that was basically a bad sensor. Correct. This was the
CIA suggested that the Crown Prince had a role in
ordering assassination. It's a different thing. You guys didn't intentionally
run somebody over. I didn't read that part of the
CIA report. You're you're obviously deeper in it. But I

(38:32):
think from a Saudi perspective, they're just like any other shareholder, right,
it's we Now we're a public company. Anyone can invest
in our company if they choose to do so, and
they're a big investor, just like you could be a
big investor as well. Hey, look if you're a big
if you're a big investor, we'll call a murder a mistake.
Or that's what it's like to roll with will be baby.

(38:54):
Uh yeah. Right after that, though, he did say basically saying, uh,
that was a I mess up. Oh, he did acknowledge
that he shouldn't have. He said, I said something in
the moment that I do not believe when it comes
to Jamaha Showgi. His murder was reprehensible and should not
be forgotten or excused. And then I think he said
that at the end of that interview, like he in realms,

(39:15):
like actually, what did I just said already? Yeah, it's
one of those things where you're like, well, I'm fun
just like self immolated. Yeah, oh dude, I'm not dealing
with the fall out of this. Uh and they and
then he tweeted there's no forgiving or forgetting what happened
to Jamaha Showgi. I was wrong to call it a mistake,
as I said something in the moment. I don't believe

(39:35):
our investors have long known my views here and I'm
sorry I wasn't as clear on axios. Yeah, but I
mean weird, I mean fun up here and there. You
know what, that was a mistake, Like I s the
other day that had the typo on it. Yeah, that's
a mistake. Now, Saudi ARABIAU up journalism. I mean it's
all splitting. He really tried though with that one. I

(39:58):
like self driving cars. Credit to that journalists being like,
to be fair, that was a fucked up. It's like
you're like, hey, make a car that's gonna kill somebody, right, Okay,
take this woman out. That specific woman was being targeted, right,
I might want to look into that. Based on these comments,
I'm impressed by this next person, Yes, Mia Chang. Mia

(40:19):
Chang deputy Assistant Secretary in the State Department's Bureau of
Conflict and Stability Operations. This is a great position which
I always followed closely. Yeah, it's a pretty important position.
Um and at thirty five Mia Chang from Dallas. I
think he's doing quite well for herself in this department.
She helps oversea efforts quote to prevent conflicts from erupting

(40:42):
and politically unstable countries. Um, she earns six figures at
the Bureau, and this specific office has a six million
dollar budget UM and usually this person has a top
secret security clearance, so she's probably pretty qualified. No, So
it turns out she has been lying about a lot

(41:02):
of things on her way to this position. UH. For example,
like that the fact that she attended Harvard. They quite
can't verify that, the scope and impact of her nonprofit organization,
that she has been patting herself on the backfloor. She
invented a role on a u N panel that she exist, yes,
claims she had addressed both the Democratic and Republican national conventions.

(41:27):
UH implied she had testified before Congress, and also was
walking around with a fake Time magazine cover of herself
on it to be like, yeah, I'm I'm that humanitarian. Okay,
that's how I assumed. It was a bit right, like
that can't be nobody creates that. But there she is

(41:47):
being interviewed and somebody says, here you are on Time magazine. Congratulations.
Tell me about this cover and how it came to be.
She said, well, we started using drone technology and disaster response,
and so that when the whole talk of how is
technology being used to save lives and disaster response scenarios.
I suppose I brought some attention to that. She's even

(42:09):
humble about it. Yeah, she's like, you know, but they
didn't be like, which issue is it? You know it
was a special edition if you look at the bottom
corners of a special edition, so it wasn't really widely circulate.
This is a very special edition. But yeah, why am
I on trials that one? It's just such a funny,
like that's what I picture literally every politician to be,
you know what I mean. It's just that level of

(42:30):
being like I'm gonna say a thousand things of bullshit
the rest of them you just go like how many
things can you call me out on? You know what
I mean? And like and maybe you call me out
on the Time magazine thing, but then I'll be You're
not You're not paying attention. It's that like look over
here while I do this a magician. You know, it's
the Gish gallop. That's something we've talked about before. It's
this debating technique where you throw out five false things

(42:51):
like in a single sentence, and then like the people
have to go through and spend five paragraphs like refuting
everything you said, and by that point everyone's like, yeah,
your eyes gla actually noticed Donald Trump Jr. Do that
on the View the other day. He was like, you
did blackface. You said Roman Plansky wasn't rapist. You said
that like just like through in just like ten seconds

(43:15):
throughout like monstrous accusations of like everyone on the View.
And then it was just chaos as they like talked
over each other trying to correct what he said. And
it was just, I mean, the guy's a brilliant debater,
nobody's doubting that. Toonage the poneage on fucking on the
View just so chill. The reason though, why this all

(43:40):
kind of came to light was at first, and then
I think in September or I forget how far back,
the White House submitted her basically for a larger department
in the state and are larger gig at the state department,
one that had a billion dollar budget that was dealing
with Asia specifically, which makes sense to how people in
this administration think like, Okay, like she's she's Asian, Yeah

(44:01):
she's hot, Yeah, alright, get her, maybe she can do
Asian stuff. I'm not trump Orf I was saying that,
but like that sort of like that kind of thinking
like Asian person will deal with Asia. Do you remember
when that happened? There was a CIA operative who was
a Korean woman, and she was like debriefing him on
something that wasn't Korea, but it was around the time

(44:22):
of and he was like, why isn't she working on Korea?
Like she should be working on Korean stuff because what
it's just the politics is just an l a casting
officely perfect for like how would an ABC show? Um?
But yeah, she was gonna take a role that had
a billion dollar operating budget, but that needed Senate confirmation.

(44:44):
So when they submitted her for Senate confirmation, two people
on like the committee were like, can you give us
some more details like receipts on her education and her
nonprofit work because I don't, And they're like, you know what,
you ink pulled her? Pulled her, Yeah, pulled the submission
and then like, we'll just put you in this office
because you don't need to be sent it confirmed. She's
still there. Yeah, that's also the role that she's in

(45:07):
is also just such a it's a such an American
government type of role right where they're like, we just
we just kind of have a lot of money and
we throw around when other countries are in turmoil that
we're like, we're gonna come in, We're gonna we're gonna
step in area. It's like, oh, are you trying to
nationalize an industry that American company can make off of?
How about a cool right, USA World Referees, We've got

(45:28):
our best people keeping an eye on this situation. Yeah,
but I think it just speaks to a the brain
drain that's in that area. They cannot find a viable
person if their lives depended on it. And also their
vetting process is so bad you have people come around
with fake Time magazine covers. At the State Department in
positions were presumably they have a top secret security clearance,
although they're not sure if this woman actually got her clearance.

(45:50):
Another fun fact, she was trying to make it as
a recording artist and like her Instagram at one point,
you see like she had like a Christmas album like
five years ago. She was trying to hawk Oh my God.
And but the cover it looks like a like a
perfume ad where it's like her laughing and like a
really handsome, like stock photo handsome white guy in a
tuxedo being like you're naughty, you know, yeah, you know,

(46:15):
I really can't stay in that position. Yeah yeah, Chris,
all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And one of my favorite

(46:36):
things is just anecdotes about Michael Jordan's. I feel like
every time we learned an anecdote from his career, we
get a little bit wiser about or further confirms how
much of an asshole he is. Like that one clip
I was going, I was showing Jack yesterday of him
and Charles Barkley on OPRAH years ago. It's like, let
me tell you a story about him, man, and Michael

(46:57):
Jordan's like, come on, shut then up. And he's like,
I try to give a homeless due some money, and
then Mike just smacks my hand away, So don't give
him money. If he if he, if he, if he
has enough energy to say, couldn't give me a dollar?
He has enough energy to say, can I take your order?
Oh my god, Michael Jordan, please, you couldn't even let
Charles Barkley give his own money away. Yeah, Well, he's

(47:17):
a degenerate gambler. I mean he has uh yeah, he's
he's about to hear this from another planet. Yes. Uh.
So this was on a Chicago area sports talk show,
and it's a story told by Jeremy Roenick uh who
was a NHL player one Michael Jordan was lighting shipped

(47:39):
up in the NBA. Uh and so at one point, yeah,
So at one point Jarmonic said, Michael Jordan told him
to meet me at Sunset Ridge early. We're gonna play
eighteen holes. Uh. We played around. I beat him for
a couple of thousand and got ready to leave. Now
the Bulls are playing that night. They aid Cleveland that night.

(48:01):
I'm thinking he's leaving. It's ten o'clock. He goes, no,
let's go again. So we go and fill up a
bag full of ice and cores, light and walk again.
We were all around another eighteen and I take him
for another couple thousand dollars. Now we've been drinking all
afternoon and he's going from Sunset Ridge to the stadium
to play a game. I'm messing around. I'm like, I'm

(48:21):
gonna call my bookie. All the money you just lost
to me, I'm putting it on Cleveland. He goes I'll
tell you what, I'll bet you that we'll win by
twenty points, and I have more than forty points, and
I'm like done, son of a gun goes out and
scores fifty two and they win by I mean, that's
but that's the kind of guy. That's how he was
his whole Like, that's why he was the best, you

(48:43):
know what I mean, it's just because he was so
competitive to a major fault. That's that he would mistreat
other human beings in the name of self glory. But
the fact that he was drinking all day before a
game is just bunking. I mean, how many beers did
he really have? You know? I mean, if he has
six cores, I'm like, you can still fucking that seems

(49:04):
that seems like a lot of cores. Based on Jeremy Roenicks, look,
I feel like they drank a shipload of yours. I
can't I can't quite put my finger on what Jordan's
alcohol consumption levels are. But a hockey player, I'm like, yeah, exactly,
he's taking With a hockey player, players will drink you
under the bar. I've heard so many stories about it,
and just the way he like gott in people's heads,

(49:26):
like during the game, like the amount of ship, like
I forget the player. I was like, maybe it was
Penny Hardaway somebody there one time. Uh was like talking
ship to Jordan during the game, and then he was
wearing Jordan's while playing, you know what I mean. And
then Jordan was like, you're not even good enough to
wear my sneakers. You know what It's like, it's a
pretty devastate. Yeah, it's like, what did you say to that?

(49:48):
And he's just you know, he gets in your head.
But I've heard so many stories of that where it's
like whenever he loses, he's like, all right, double or nothing,
double or nothing, and it'll just go until you give up. Yeah, exactly,
Oh yeah it was it was Penny. It was Penny,
Yeah he said he he called me, kid, kid, you're
not even good enough to wear unreal, Well, we're all
three wearing Jordan's today, Yeah exactly. I'm wearing the nixt

(50:10):
version of which makes him very humble. Yeah, which is
the one that he just dominant, even has the you
know the four eight eight from that specific game at
those Yeah, where he just dominated. It's like I feel
like I'm being cucked wearing these things. I mean, honestly,
if science could somehow find that's what the power of

(50:33):
his ego is, there has to be some kind of
universal like whatever editive fire, the metabolism, whatever the funk
made him able to put away six beers and then
go out and be better than anyone has ever been
at basketball, like six beers at least. But also, I mean,
do you think that was a pretty easy prediction. I

(50:53):
wonder what Cleveland at that time. Dude, I'm still He's
still playing the NBA. It's the best athletes in the world,
and he it just goes like yesterday when we read this,
you said superpower and like that that really feels like
what it is. I mean, because he's playing against the
best athletes in the world and he's that much better

(51:15):
than it was purely the money. I don't even feel
like I feel like he's a degenerate gambler because of
his competitiveness and it has nothing. I don't think it's
like it's it's like the disease and that it's more
of just like we have to win and if money
is riding on it, it's like the money. I feel
like it's the second everything to him, besides just winning
and being like, do is that? Even he's also not

(51:35):
a good winner, you know what I mean, Like when
he's like a piece of shit about it as his
Hall of Fame speech, Will Will getting fist pumped there
right in your skull. Yeah, alright, let's talk about another
nineties icon. We now know what the new Sonic the
Hedgehog design looks like, and now we're all going to

(51:57):
see it. Right, no human teeth anymore. Human people were
so up in arms in that first trailer. They're like,
he has two separate eyes and big gass teeth. Make
him make him have goggle eyes like in the game.
That's better. Yeah, it makes a lot better. Sadly, I
feel like I was barely interested when the first trailer
came out. Even if you look like this in the
first trailer, I would have still been like, I don't

(52:18):
need a Sonic movie. Think of how many millions of
dollars where that cost? That that little whoopsie. It's like
they had to go do. I mean, I don't know
how much of the movie was done at that point,
but that's like the entire thing you have to do.
It's crazy man, because like his mouth is, there's a
lot that's different from his nose to the cutlet. And
I'm sure the color can just be like one click

(52:39):
and every frame, every dialogue, it's all. Yeah. Well, they
basically took it a shade more cartoonist, right, yeah, yeah,
because they wanted to honor a little bit like the
source material. And I guess in a you know, in
a packed year of reboots and ship next year, especially
reboots that no one wants. Yeah, it's I can't remember,

(53:03):
nobody's gonna go see this. I don't think unfortunately now.
I mean, I guess, like kids, they're trying to just
get the younger generation Jim Carrey's and it isn't he
It feels like a movie that I would have been
hyped about if I was twelve, like back then in
the night like late nineties, then I'm like, oh, Jim
Carrey and the Sonic, the hedgehop. Then kids are busting

(53:24):
down the doors at that time for you know who
it's gonna get though, It's gonna get like twenty eight
to forty year old people with kids because then they
can take their kids. And it's also a nostalgia viewing
for them. Well, yeah, I mean that's who's making movies.
That's who's green lighting these movies right now, is people
like you know, your age or maybe a little bit older,

(53:45):
but people who did grow up at a time when
Sonic was an icon. So when you talk about kids,
ship like that's what that's what's interesting to them, right, Yeah.
I mean there's another Bad Boys movie, there's a remake
of the Grudge, There's that fucking doctor do a Little
a movie, Charlie's Angels. Yeah, there's just a lot of ship.
Godzilla verse Kong a quiet place to We'll ask Godzilla

(54:07):
didn't do that well. I don't remember any Godzilla doing well.
I mean every single one. I feel like my entire
life it's always been a bomb. Like there's the Matthew
Broderick one that were Puff Daddy, and they're always they
always just they always just bomb over and then they
just keep remaking them. Then the other there's like two
of them. Ago they only showed Godzilla for like four
seconds in the whole film. The other the one they

(54:29):
just came out with. Isn't it like it's like three
hours long like some crazy which is just they just
haven't made a good Godzilla movie and Forever Watch That
on a plane. Yeah, I wonder if this will be
viewed as like a period, like when you look back
at the eighties, they're like a handful of really good
movies every year, but for the most part, eighties movies
are pretty ship. I wonder if, like now, through the

(54:51):
next couple of decades, Fell or maybe through the next decade,
will be viewed similarly as like, man, they just were
they kind of hit a dry spell. Well that what happened,
I think in terms of like blockbuster bigsuff. But there's
just so many awesome movies that have come out in
the last year, liked like like with the Favorite, like
Last Year and all that stuff too, like all of
those like big, like Unique, there's so many I mean

(55:14):
obviously The Joker and stuff like that. Like there's been
so many great films, just like the Giant, you know,
transformsive style ones are the the blockbusters. The poles are
starting to wane a little bit. They used to make
like forty movies a year in the eighties, like that's
all yeah, and like now it's no I remember, like
for a while, like I felt like my knowledge of
film was encyclopedic up until I'm like, yeah, I remember that.

(55:39):
I didn't see it, but I know what you're talking
about now. My yeah. Also, somebody was this isn't even
on the dock. But so that movie Doctor Sleep came
out that is like a sequel to It's like Danny
from The Shining that it's basically a sequel to The Shining,
and people I was reading it and now because it

(56:00):
also bombed, just like the Terminator movie before, and somebody
was saying that, like the Shining isn't iconic enough to
carry like a sequel. My read on what was wrong
with that is that the title was so stupid. Doctor
Sleep just sounds like it's like a like they're a
comedy comic. It's like a mattress store. Doctor Sleep is

(56:23):
a mattress store. And like people would have been down
for the right Shining sequel, but like the I just
like the trailer mixed with a title, like just it
didn't tell you really what it was or like how
it related to the Shining. Like I don't think I
wouldn't blame the original Shining. People were like, yeah, I
mean it's not a it's not a family movie. And

(56:45):
I'm like like the Shining is a right of passage.
Shining is one of my favorite movie. I think it's
a movie to a lot of people act like they
know because they feel like they should know it and
don't actually engage with it. So it's like, oh, yeah,
the Shining here's on it right, like you know, like
the sound bites, but they're like, oh, those kids in
the tricycles, yeah, come playing with us right like where

(57:09):
That's where I feel like people know, but I don't
know how many people. Like I think, if you really
like film, then you do know the Shining. But for
other people, it's almost like, oh, yeah, I know that
Beatles album, Like you just say it because you know
it's accepted as being really good, but you don't really
give a funk. It's the sixteen year old wearing the
Ramones T shirt like two songs, you know, ram one

(57:32):
something yeah, no man, and it's Shining too. It's like
I love and even but even when The Shining came out,
like Stephen King hated it, like it's just it's so funny,
even that film. It's like, you know, even when it
came out at the time, people are like, and that's
something he was like it wasn't it wasn't a huge
hit at the time. It was that Scott Mendelssohn, who's

(57:55):
takes I always usually agree with, But I thought I didn't.
I didn't think it was the lack of The Shining
being iconic, because it's like that's it's a classic and
it is like a rite of passage. It's like the
scariest movie, Like when you're coming of age and people
are like, oh, you've seen a scary movie, but have
you seen The Shining? Like it's the scariest movie. Like,

(58:17):
I think there's too much of a generational gap. I think,
like I don't know how many Gen Z kids like
because even now, right like Gen X, people will all
accept that The Shining is like that movie, and it
starts to get a little bit diluted when you get
to the millennials and then around my age, like I
feel like people in their thirties, you have maybe fifty
people have seen it, people haven't, And then but a

(58:39):
lot of people will be like, but yeah, I get it,
it's an important movie. But like now, I don't know,
I don't know how much that means, how like what
that momentum is now Beyond Yes, the old Bill Simmons
on parent Corner was saying his son went as Jack
Nicholson from The Shining this year. So that's one example.
It's called dad. That was like when I remember my

(59:02):
dad trying to get me to watch like some old
James Bond movie. Was like, no, this is actually the
one seeing. I'm like, yo, this ship sucks. Yeah, exactly,
a lot of things don't hold up when you see them,
like especially if you grew up like with them being
hyped there. I watched Uh. I watched Boondoc Saintes for
the first time, like a couple of months ago, after
everyone being especially in my college, like everyone was like, dude,

(59:25):
you're Irish. This is the movie. This is the movie.
I watched that. Yeah, not even but it's like it's
just one of those things where you go okay and
then there's so much hype to it, and then I
watched it and I was like, oh, this is terrible, terrible.
If it wasn't for Willem Dafoe was the only reason
to watch that. He plays this wildly over flamboyant character.

(59:49):
It doesn't make nothing makes sense. It's so uh, it's
so out of touch with reality in terms of the
things they're able to do both physics. They're like superhumans
are the angels. I don't even know what's going on
in it, but what they're like archangels but they're not,
but they act like they do. It's a weird it's
a weird scene. I had no idea what the movie was.
I thought it was like Belly for white people. I

(01:00:11):
think that's exactly in my mind. I was like, I'm like,
I'll watch Belly because I want to, you know, I
want to learn about Louis Rinkin and Jamaican gangs or
something like Shot does. But then there's like because yeah,
I never saw it because I think like a couple
of people really liked it over my friend group, but
I was just like, what is it. It is like
a scene where there he's like handcuffed to like a

(01:00:32):
sink while his brother is about to be murdered, and
then he just gets so mad he just like pulls
the sink off, like the pipe just pulls it off
the wall. Risk Yeah, you know what, were just like
he just gets somebody goes ah and just pulls it off.
They're like okay, so you're just like, yeah, exactly. Yeah,
and they have the body of heroin hard cut to

(01:00:53):
a plumbing ad. Has this ever happened to you? To
call Mike Diamond? Does this ever happen to you? Big
mud pies? Alright, let's talk about something for all the
parents to be aware of. Some people maybe genetically predisposed
to hating certain vegetables. Yeah, I did not. I saw

(01:01:14):
the headline. It's like it could be in your genetics.
And apparently if everyone inherits So this is from this
BBC article I'll read from a directly says everyone inherits
two copies of a taste gene called t A S
two R thirty eight. It encodes for a protein in
the taste receptors on the tongue which allows us to
taste bitterness. People who inherit two copies of a variant

(01:01:36):
of the gene called a V I are not sensitive
to bitter taste from certain chemicals. But anyway, they go
on to say, if you have two copies of a
different variant p P a V often called super tasters,
those people tend to find certain foods exceptionally bitter. So
they're saying, inheriting two copies of the unpleasant taste gene
provides a ruin your day level of bitterness to foods

(01:01:59):
like broccoli and brouts that's strongly worded. Even beer, coffee
or dark chocolate. Yeah, so that's what Like I I
used to like bitter beer, and like I don't. I
like coffee like I don't it doesn't ruin my day
when when it's a little bit bitter. So I'm guessing
I'm not one of these people. And it just suggests

(01:02:22):
that there is like a level of hating vegetables that
my mind can't even conceive of. Like it's just like
there's a depth there that like I assumed that we
were all working from the same palette and uh turns
out nah, Well they say your taste but just change
every like seven years or something like that, which is why,

(01:02:43):
like you know, you could hate coffee or you know
whatever at this point in your life and then later on,
you know, it starts stays better and stuff like that.
But I always just remembered vegetables like the reason I
didn't like them as a kid. I just was like
they're so bland, Like that's it was more, it wasn't
a bitterness thing. I was like I don't know. They
taste like nothing, I mean boring. Did you hate a
specific vegetable growing? But it was just really the black.

(01:03:03):
I remember there was some I've always remembered, like you know,
like corn and peas and spinach I was down with,
but like, yeah, like I don't think broccoli. I I
mean califlowers, like the quintessential, Like nobody wants that kind
of bullshit. But yeah, I mean now it's like now
I love it all, you know what I mean, which
is so weird, and I think it is when you
get like, you know, I remember when I first started

(01:03:24):
drinking coffee. Coffee is a great example of that where
it was like in the same with beer, where you're
like I started with like java chip frappuccinos from Starbucks
because it tasted like a milkshake. Yeah, And then I
went to and then I went to Dungan Donuts ice
coffee with like heavy milk and heavy sugar. I said.
Then and then all of a sudden, you slowly like
we off less sugar, less sugar, no sugar. Yeah, and

(01:03:44):
now it's like milk. It's like now I'm like if
they put more than a thimble of almond milk in
my coffee. I just throw it at the wall, throw
it over, you know. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I
mean like I don't like to taste of rock harrots. Yeah,
it's a bitterness thing, really, I just don't like. It's
just I think the flicking mouth feel because it's weird.
I'll eat that ship with hummus, okay, yeah, but like

(01:04:08):
give me a handful of rock harrets. I'm like, I
think I always imagine myself like eating I don't know,
it's like that's the hardest thing you could eat. Like
so I'm like a would chipper or something, just like
the consistent yeah you in our head. Yeah, I think

(01:04:28):
the most inconsistent fruit on the planet is grapes. Are
grapes because soft old one. I mean it's like every
grape it's you know, you get even in in one
stem of them. You could be like best grape I
ever had, best grape I ever had. This one's filled
with lime juice. And then this one just tastes like
an old like I'm sucking on an old grandma's elbow.
Like it just tastes like let loose awful skin. Yeah.

(01:04:50):
Another one's like a soft old fish. Eyeball. Yeah, yeah,
like it like doesn't yeah, it doesn't snap into it.
You know. That's why I think recently when I've bottom
at like a farmer's market or something, and what I
asked him, I'm like, the ones that are on there?
Can you eat those? Like? Should I not give a funk?
Like you're fine? I think, And I'm like, I think
I'm fine too, But now I inspect bunches of grapes. Yeah,

(01:05:13):
I'm trying to tell what's the ratio here of like
fully perfect ones? Yeah, you know, because I get it,
nature is imperfect, but I gotta have your your grapes
like Concorde like yeah, I like your whole grapes like
a good sweet like I hated Granny Smith Apple Like
that's way too. I don't know. My wife loves those,
and I'm like, I can't imagine enjoying anything less. They're

(01:05:34):
so tart. Yeah, it's it's it's like a I feel
like something like a monk would do. It's like a
spiritual pride and enjoy that does it to fine Zen
and Nirvana, Well, it's like you cannot know sweet unless
you know bitter. Yeah, I'm like, okay, full, just give
you my fucking apple just walk across the hot color.
I feel like knowing grape brands is my next level.

(01:05:58):
Like I figured out like apple brands that I like,
and apple brands I don't like. There's green or red grapes,
but for me, yeah, it's just like I like the
crunchy ones, not the soft ones, and I don't like seeds.
But like the fact that you know you're grape brands.
That's that's something I aspired to the level of produce
mindfulness that it's just like when you start, you know,

(01:06:18):
I love grapes, man, I just love them. They fucking
straight out the refrigerator like ice cold that freezer. Yeah yeah, yeah,
that's not too bad. But I just like the it's
like it's a little more work when they're frozen versus
like when they're just out the refrigerator. Feel like I'm
just eating many grape juices, right. Yeah, that's another that's
what we're chasing that you get more appreciation for when

(01:06:40):
you have kids. There's grapes that because they just treat
them like candy, Like there's like, really, I just get
to eat these that's insane. That and helicopters, guys all right, Mike,
it's been a pleasure of having you. Man, where can
people find you and follow you? Thanks so much. I

(01:07:00):

have you seen the cover, because that's that's my whole life.
I got told that I look like that kid, so

it kind of worked out on level because like Raging
Against Machines like was my favorite band growing up. Now

(01:07:21):
they also reunited the week the album came out, which
go into You're welcome America and uh yeah, but it's
it's it's it's very approposed well because I might set
as mostly me being angry about really routine, bullshit things,
so really is it works. But Mike Feeney Comedy dot
