but you are a very very funny stand up comedian.
Oh man, that is great. I don't even need anything
else out of this. Podcast. All right, and Nick has left.
All Right, Nick, we're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
(02:53):
our listeners a couple of things. We're talking about. The
Game has a new album coming out in which he
brags about some interactions he had with Kim Kardashian. We're
just gonna talk about those lyrics and just the general
phenomenon of people bragging about interactions that've had with Kim
(03:14):
Kardashian and whether she is the only person like that,
whether she is our Marilyn Monroe. We're gonna talk about
Roger Stone redefining totally fucked. Uh. We're gonna talk about
how Fox News is dealing with that fact the shutdown
being temporarily shut down. We're gonna talk about the background
(03:37):
of Venezuela's uh state of disrepair, in America's role they're in.
And we're gonna talk about Facebook's plan too, you know,
funk up our world by linking Instagram. What's happened? You
know it's a pet project of Mark Zuckerberg, so you
know it's got to be good for us. But first, Nick,
(03:57):
what is something from your search history that is revealing
who you are. All right, it's mostly stuff about how
to make money a podcast, but then it's Um, I
was asking if cutting your own hair was a sign
of mental illness, cutting your own hair, yeah, because I've
always thought that, and my dad started, um cutting his
(04:20):
own hair, I don't know, not having it. Uh huh.
So I was looking for for something to send him to, uh,
to get him to stop. He's got money. How much
is their hair cut? Was he cutting good? Is it?
It's not fire? Hunt of good? Is he using a mirror? Slusuh?
(04:44):
He does? I mean, you know it's just short hair,
gus curly hair, his hair curly too. No, No, I
got my mom's do up here. Um, it's wavy, it's
you know, it's it's like the waves they photoshop on people.
Waves the AirPod mixed. Dad has waves the airplas guy,
it looks like Roger from Doug Your sounds like za. Yeah,
(05:08):
he's sexy as hell, but you know he's got to
stay that way by checking out a salon and he's
just at that stage where he's like, you know what,
I just realized this is an easy way to save money?
Or like what what is what I guess you know,
it's annoying to go to a salon. Every time I
go to salon, I'm like, I wish there was a
(05:29):
better way, because you can't take out your phone, and
that's mostly it. I don't know why it's still rude
to look at your phone when you're at the salon.
I mean it, I think, so I don't see anybody
doing it. I thought you were going to say you
can't check out your phone because you don't want your
style is all open your phone. Oh no, I have
no secrets from my chrome. Right as long as we
(05:49):
keep the safari in public, maybe there's different men like
salon ed care rules because I have my phone out.
Oh yeah, I don't see it. Well. I like always
get my haircut at Rudy's and there's um, you know,
tons you can see like tons of other chairs while
you get your haircut, And I'm just like, I am
waiting for like when the scales tip and people start
(06:10):
pulling out their phones and I am going to be
the fourth person there to do it. Old conversation, old time,
and you are at the whim because one lady there,
it's the only lady I've ever asked to not cut
my hair because I always go in. I'm like, who
are you? You got? And then changed last year because
(06:31):
I got the same lady twice. I never get the
same person twice. I got the same lady twice and
she wanted to have conversations with me about how she
put her mom in a home. And the first one
was on Mother's Day and I'm just like, this is
no good. And I saw it and it was like
the same conversation next time. So the third time I started,
and I didn't like the haircut. So the third time
I saw her, I just like, you know, like Jerry
being offered a piece of apple pie. I just shaking
(06:53):
my head silently, and she's like, you don't want me,
that's fine. So now I put people's names in my
phone when I like them, and I say, do of
these three people or no, whoever listen? Loyalty to a
hairstyle list really comes in. I used to go to
the same hairstyles who definitely was a criminal, was abaiting
other criminal activity. I had to stop going when her
other clients starts stealing from me. But I was really
(07:15):
stu her. I really stuck with her. She was going
to jail I'm like, girl, I need my hair and
she's like, I'm in jail. I'm like, it's just like independent.
This is a a salon in Beverly Hills. Why how
did her other customers steal from this? Because like, you know,
you would charge your phone and then like they would
take your charger and leave their trash ready charger, just
(07:37):
like mild thefts where you'd be like, wait a minute,
you know what I love right alright? Thought that was
my handbag with your name, and it was like people
you know, like, oh she got fired from being a
stripperson that she just do fraud, And I'm like, how
do you get fired from being It's just you know,
(07:57):
I stayed with her though for a long time before
I was like, okay, I can't robbed anymore. Um, yeah,
but I would definitely I am the type of person
who would keep going back to the same person just
because I kept getting that person because I felt too bad.
But oh my girlfriend just got a terrible haircut and
you know, she cried all day. So then like she
(08:19):
went back to the salon um to get another, like
you getta redone because you can, like if you hate
it that much, they'll just redo it. Um, but she
got the same person and then she left them. Yeah,
that's just anything to avoid conflict. Can you age guys,
y'all call me? This is I swear to God, I'm
(08:45):
I will be your representative. Like no, I represent him.
He didn't like this ship. He don't want you or
your sad ass mama's stories. No more mama's stories. Oh
boss to say that. Just stand back in the mirror.
And every time she starts talking, you're just like and
(09:05):
then you do up in the shadows. We talked about
this show. Uh, Nick, what is something you think is overrated? Oh?
Tidying up with Marie? No thanks every time every time
(09:27):
I watched this show, and of course you know I
watch it, Um, just so I can tell people on
Twitter how dumb they are. Um. It's uh, it's just
like a mess. Like you go to somebody's room and
it's not crazy because I love horders too. That's fun.
Like that's when you need some some like uh, some
expert to get in there and fix it up. But
(09:49):
it's just just like you go in and they got
like bags of clothes, like trash bags for the clothes
in the room, and like boxes piled up and like
all you need is someone to go in and say,
going up all this obvious clutter up. But there's nothing
like you do not need to make a tree t P,
like a like a T shirt TP. I don't. There's
(10:12):
no way in hell that any of the stuff she
tells everyone to do is sustainable. You cannot make T
shirt tps for the rest of your life. You just
have to fold it up like you fold it and
then you put it on its side, so it's like
a little bit of a triangle. Um. And then because
you're supposed to see all your clothes every time you
(10:33):
open your drawer or every time you look in the closet,
nothing can be behind something else. Um. And it's just
not it's not sustainable. Wild. But one big part of
the book that I have not seen in the TV
show at all is getting rid of people. That's like
marine need house and be like like yes, just like this,
(10:55):
going and kick out boyfriends. That's really I have a
friend who's uh fiance got the book and so she
started doing everything. Got to the chapter about people ended there,
engagement mands out here, breaking up. How exciting is that?
That's that's not in the show that's what Maurice should
(11:16):
be doing. Incredible, Like you show up and you think
like you're just going to get your room clean, and
the next thing you know, like yo, man outside with
three boxes and he needs She needs that one segment
where Dan Savage comes in and just says dump the
motherfucker already to everybody and just starts kicking ass. Yeah,
that would be late. Yeah, that does sound like I mean,
her show producers must be trying to get her to
(11:38):
add the people element to it, because that is just
reality TV doesn't. Yeah, and that's like the most bored.
The host doesn't speak English and it's it's hard to
get across your ideas. So then there's an interpreter, but
it's just some like friend of hers or like interpreters
(11:59):
she travels with. She has no personality. Neither one of
them should be anywhere near a TV camera hosting a show.
Her interpreter needs to be like Karamo from Queer Eye,
who can I talk to someone like a human being
and tell people what's up? And uh, just something with
some personality. Netflix, get on it, merge your shows. Ironically,
what she needs is a messy bitch. Yes, yes, what
(12:26):
what is something? You think is underrated. Okay, yeah, I'm
sticking with the Netflix theme. Uh. It's Instant Hotel. It's
a reality company competition reality show UM based around airbnbs. Uh.
And it's out of Australia, which is where all the
good shows are coming from. And it's five teams groups
(12:47):
of two and they each run their own air and
B and b like in life, and so this competition
is they all like get together and then go around
to each other's Airbnbs and spend a night and then
they rate them and it gets real catty. So it's
just their home that they're opening up to other people. Yes,
and they're all fantastic, you know because like these people.
(13:09):
I've never been to an airbnb like like the one
any of these people put because these are some of
these are like thousands of dollars a night, So I
should just stay at a hotel. I mean it's not Yeah,
these aren't saving you money because I'm about paying a thousand.
Somebody better be knocking on the door with the pillow
and sheets. All the other teams come, so it's you
need a place for eight people, so it's going to
(13:30):
be pricey, yes, yeah, yeah, and then um so everybody
rates everybody, but then like there's a winner, and so
like halfway through, people realize, oh, we need to start
rating very poorly everyone and just like some teams like
go for it, and so it turns into like say
(13:53):
yes to the dress or what is it? No? Four
weddings where all the women go to the weddings and
then apart like it was beautiful my sake? What's cook?
So I gave it a one. Yeah. Yeah, because you're
waiting each other is what you're saying. Yeah, that's good
because I've been saying it's like House Hunter's International Meat Survivor. Yeah,
I was gonna say survivor, where you like that person
(14:13):
best at the game because you're worried about them eventually, yes,
like their places too nice. So there's this this weird
shift because there the season happens if there's two groups.
There's like one five episodes with these one group people
in another five episodes, but in the first one they
don't really get to that they don't really get but
then the second one it happens real quick, happens with
a bunch of people, and it is nasty and it
(14:33):
is so fun and instant Hotel which I guess what
they call Airbnb's in Australia Easton Hotels. But it's like
the most fun show I've seen all year, and I
can't recommend it highly an instant hotels. You know what
I'm doing this weekend opening my house up as an Airbnb?
Turning off? What is a myth? What's something people think
(14:57):
is true? Um? Okay, we'll cutting your hair. I don't know.
Can I just tell you another sign of mental illness
that I discovered. I just don't want to be I
just want people to be on the lookout and like
this thing. It might seem fun and innocuous, but it's dangerous.
And you brought up Doug earlier. Um, and Doug, you know,
(15:20):
where's the same thing every day? Yeah? He opened his
closet and he's got on the same office And that's
a sign of mental illness. He's wearing the same clothes
all the time. Because I have a friend of mine,
Will Miles. Okay and look him up. I thought, I thought,
you guys, he's wearing the same thing every day for
(15:41):
this year. It just started January one, but it it
all it entails is like, um, a button up dark
blue shirt and then he can like change the T
shirt and the same pants. So it's the dark blue
shirt and the pants, but they're wearing a dark blue
button up right now. By the way, Well yes, but
his he's doing it as a thing. I'm doing it
(16:02):
because I own three shirts. There you go, um and
so uh So, Anyway, he was telling me that a
friend of ours whose uncle used to work in television,
he started wearing the same thing every day and he
did it like Doug though, where he had all the
outfits like Wills just washing the same I don't know
(16:24):
he maybe he got another it's so, but you know
he's got the washed her in his place. But our
friend of our uncle, that was like the first sign
that people started getting nervous. And then like his script
started getting weird. And then he sent in like a
script to the network that he wrote that was just
gibberish on every line. It was like a conversation characters
(16:45):
would have, but it was like mergeous back. And then
after that he got committed. So, yeah, if you see
your friends wearing the same clothes over and over, talk
to them. Now, this is something that I've heard as
like a Ted Talk style life hack, like take the
(17:06):
decisions out of your morning and just the same thing. Yes,
Steve Jobs did it. There's a bunch of tech millionaires. Uh.
One of my favorite comedians, Jason man Zukas does it apparently,
h and I kind of have done it before, just
because I paid too much credence to Ted Talks. Yeah,
(17:27):
I did it. I mean I'm not wearing the thing today,
but if I ever have to like wear something somewhat nice,
I'll wear white button up with jeans. Oh, I could
never do that. I can easily recognized from afar. Right. Yeah,
And I think it's like a I wonder if it's
just yeah, you're a little too neurotic about little decisions,
(17:48):
so you take one little decision out of your life,
hoping that that will just simplify your life, but it doesn't. Necessarily,
it just allows you to be neurotic about other things. Yeah.
I really love that outfit. Yeah, yeah, that's true. And
if you sweat a lot, I would not recommend a
white button up shirt because you will burn through those
things very quickly. All right, guys, let's talk about the game.
(18:14):
He is back out here with a new album coming out,
and at a listening party at the end of last week,
somebody noted that he has a lyric in there in
which he rather graphically brags about having some manner of
sexual congress with someone who people suspect might be Kim
(18:36):
Kardashian because he says Kim Kardashian, he says her full name.
Let's listen to it. So, yeah, that's pretty graphic. There's
(18:57):
no there's no interpreting that one away. Um, and he
also says, and hey, sorry to her husband, who is
my good friend. But Lacy, you brought up the fact
that this is just wild that people are like, this
is such acclaim to fame having had sex with Kim Kardashian.
This ship is so lame. I mean, it just really
(19:20):
kind of turns like misogynistic bullshit on its head, because
men want women to feel shame because they had sex
with you, Like Kim Barneshian is richer than you the game, okay,
Like Kim Kardashian is selling every gloss and and constitler
and cream out here, honey, and we're loving it. Like
it's weird to see all these men, uh, you know,
(19:41):
spend time trying to have a claim to fame from
having sex with a woman like it's the lamest shit ever,
Like I hit it first, reg I made a whole song,
sat in a booth and made a whole song about
Kim Kardashian and him hitting it first. I just think
you look like a loser. I mean, isn't it just
a compliment to her. It's just like any buddy who
has can be connected to her on a hook up
(20:03):
tree is like bragging about it. It's like, damn, we
talked about this, and I think the other woman in
history that was like this was probably Marilyn Monroe. Like
they made a movie about a dude who spent two
weeks or no, not what we with Marilyn Monroe at home?
He had a movie. Yeah, Like that's goals. If I
want everybody to say that they spent time with me.
(20:25):
I mean, it's so funny too, because that was they
probably had sex in like the eight months that the
game was famous. So she was like, yeah, I like
a famous guy and that's that was cool for me,
and yeah, and then you haven't had anything like that since. Yeah. Yeah.
It is probably more of a commentary on where he's
(20:46):
at than anything. I literally remember one the game song
that yeah, yeah, He's like, I ain't going nowhere. She's
and I mean, I guess he didn't go anywhere. He
didn't go out, he didn't go up still here you
(21:06):
guys New Splash. You do want to go somewhere. You
don't want to just go nowhere? Right? Um? Yeah, the
game lives in Burbank. So why does Kanye even have
to think about this? Why he's even responded about this?
Nobody cares. I don't know what he has, but people
are suspecting that this is not going to do great
things for him because of how he responded to the
(21:28):
mirror implication in Drake lyrics that something was going on
with him and Kim Kardashian. I mean, I think you
gotta know who you're with, okay, and that goes for
women in it, if your man or your woman. You know,
I was out here in the streets, you know, street
sweeping every Wednesday and Tuesday for you know, parking here,
(21:49):
you know, no parking here, but you can park for
two hours, you know what I mean? Like, you gotta
know they probably have, you know, a trail of people
in their past, and there's nothing wrong with that. It
doesn't listen your value as a person. You certainly can't
get surprised and upset if people want to talk about it,
they're lame for talking about it. But you also can't
be out here trying to beat everybody's ask who you
know has sex with your wife? Yeah, now it does
(22:09):
seem like it's he's talking about it in excessive detail. Yes, look,
that's just what happens when you have sex. You don't
use those words maybe in the recounting to your friends
that we're friends wife, but yeah, maybe not. But it happens.
You know, things get things, things, people cough, get swallowed.
It is amazing that he remembers it in such vivid detail.
(22:32):
You know, he has not stopped thinking about that clearly,
I mean shout out to him. This sounds like you're
working with the great package. Who doesn't, I mean, what
to beat that person in life that gets to have
sex with just like dozens and dozens of the hottest,
coolest people you know in the country. That's real cool,
I know. Yeah, No, she is a phenomenon. Yeah. But
(22:53):
then at the same time, I think, like just from
seeing couples all over, I'm like every couple I know
it's having sex and they're not all highest spicy and ship.
But I assume they're having a similar experience, like you
know what I mean, I can't get that different. So
you know, guys, don't worry. If you haven't had sex
with Kim Kardashian, you're you're probably still having a good life. YEA,
thank you for you have. I thought you're gonna stand up.
(23:20):
I was choking. I couldn't even work up the words
to talk to her. Oh God, alright, we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back and her back.
(23:40):
And Roger Stone on Friday morning had a truly rude awakening,
as did his neighbor, chad Ocho Senko, who was one
of the man men on the street for news reporters.
He was like, man, my neighbor got arrested by the
FBI today. That's crazy, um. But yeah, so Roger Stone
(24:03):
got raided by the FBI. They came in guns drawn
or at least fully armed, and took him away and
he was, you know, brought up on charges, seven charges
in particular, including obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and lying
to Congress. And there's some pretty juicy details in there,
like so on multiple occasions, the indictment says Stone told
(24:27):
senior Trump campaign officials about materials possessed by Wiki leaks.
They call it Organization one in the in the indictment
and the timing of future releases, Honor. About October third,
two thousand sixteen, Stone wrote to a supporter involved with
a Trump campaign spoke to my friend in London last night.
The payload is still coming, very suggestive, Lee worded, but
(24:51):
we'll move on, Honor. About October four, two thousand sixteen,
Stone told high ranking Trump campaign official that the head
of Organization one Wiki leaks had a quote serious security concern,
but would release quote a load every week going forward.
And Muller also points to the fact that someone high
up in the campaign, who people think is Bannon, was
(25:13):
directed to reach out to Stone to find out more
on WikiLeaks releases, and Wiki leaks has essentially been connected
to Russia and the Russia Russian hacking. Russia hacked these
emails and they ended up being released by Wiki leaks,
so there was some sort of transmitdle going on behind
the scenes there. And there's a paragraph that even suggests
(25:35):
that Stone directed Wiki Leaks to start putting out damaging
info about Hillary Clinton's health and memory, and well look
at that they did. They did do that. That became
a storyline even in the mainstream media started on the right,
but then the mainstream media picked it up. And when
he showed up in court, he said basically hurry up
(25:57):
and pardon me, but not in those words. He said,
this is a witch hunt and I plead absolutely not guilty. Uh.
Some other details that I found pretty interesting was he
was constantly talking to this one dude and telling him
to lie to Congress and then saying that he had
(26:17):
to be like the dude and the godfather who lied
to Congress because he was scared and under threat. And
then once Stone started suspecting that individual Number two was
speaking to Mueller, he threatened to quote take his dog,
like literally killed the guy's dog, like mafia stuff. Um.
(26:39):
And meanwhile, in the Fox News universe, none of this matters. Uh,
they say Stone won't roll That was their headline after
he said that he wasn't going to I mean essentially
they're saying won't roll over on the press, so like
they're part of the mob in that word, Yeah, like
(26:59):
rolling Stone, I get it, but also like won't roll over. Yeah,
he ain't no snitch, not a rat. That is exactly
what it said. And then from earlier in the morning,
Fox's headline was Mueller Roger Stone fibbed about advising Team
Trump on stolen Podesta emails. Fibbed like fibbed. That's that's
(27:23):
just yeah, yeah, I mean that's really harsh. You can't
you can't put it more harshly than that. But yeah,
it's pretty clear that things don't look good. Uh. Sarah
Sanders at the end of last week came out and said, well,
this has nothing to do with the president, that's for sure.
It's like, this is his campaign to get elected president. Motherfucker,
(27:44):
what are you talking about. I suspect that Roger will
be a rolling stone, yes, and the prison is where
he'll be lay his head time. I also thought it
was very funny that Chato Sinko lives in the same
neighborhood as Roger Stone, and that begs the question is
Chad doing well or is Roger doing bad? I want
(28:06):
to know he already has a Nixon back tattoo, so
I mean that would be amazing. You know, he bought
he must have bought a franchise or something that worked.
Oto Sinko start. It showed bright, but it was brief. Yes,
it was very brief. Sinko must have one of those
scooty bikes or something out here, you know whatever rappers
(28:29):
are making their income off. You got in earlier on
the bird scooting right. This whole time we've been riding
on Ocho Cincoes. I didn't even know it. This is
crazy that one Fox News has just become like, are
y'all even giving news out anymore? Or is this just
like support of crime or just always amazing to see
(28:50):
how they're because they are immediately contorting themselves to get
their head as far up there asked as possible and
like keep their audience like in the same position, and
because like we're all just going to acknowledge that this
ship is happening and that Trump is doing crime and
that there was clusion with Russia, and now Fox News
is only job is to like combat. I guess people
(29:12):
like the justice system, so their their line of defense
is that because all of the charges are specifically about
obstruction and witness tampering, things that totally innocent people always do,
that they don't specifically talk about collusion or crimes that
happened before the Muller investigation. And it's like, yeah, because
(29:33):
they're building a case about like what happened before the
Mueller investigation. You know, at some point of the day,
absolutely nothing matters to me as a as a very
left liberal. The ins and outs are unimportant. You know.
It's just like today, right, that's all I need to do, right,
(29:54):
I mean, if Fox doesn't stopped playing, like they're really
starting to sound like rappers, Like I remember this kind
of head like amount when low Cam refused to snitch
and went to jail, Like these are very similar, like
I thought on it, like black people. Yeah, they He's
not gonna roll the president, that's for sure. Yeah. They
are basically the that should become there instead of fair
(30:15):
and balanced that should just snitches. Does the same things
like they bury a certain articles, Like every time you know,
there's an article about how aliens are hypnotizing our drinking water,
CNN won't even write they definitely have an anti aliens
or because yeah, and we know that's what's happening. Yeah,
(30:36):
and we know that's true because the aliens told us
through our drinking water and the fillings in our teeth.
Let's talk about the shutdown which are fearless leader. The
president on Friday address the nation and announced that he
had worked with Congress to get it suspended for three weeks.
(30:56):
The government will reopen and the people who have not
been paid for their past to paychecks will be paid
very quickly or or as soon as possible, which is
not you did not want that. That qualification, Yeah on
the table. Yeah, they're they're getting back for sure. I'm
(31:19):
just so confused as to like, when is somebody going
to make me like, you know, maps have legends, like
what is my decode for for? You know Trump's very elusive,
vague gas terminology, like when can we quantify very quickly?
Can we quantify as soon as possible? You know, I
thought Spectrum Cable was funked up with their hours, like
(31:40):
we're gonna come by your house from nine am to midnight.
That's a very open window. But at least I know
by twelve I'm gonna have cable like Trump is like,
you know, you're gonna get it when it comes at
that time, and at that time it will be you
know there and that you are it's close to what
(32:04):
you are. I was just waiting for him to be
like and look I invested some of your money, so
I can't get it all to you right away, but
I will get you and I owe you, and you're
gonna get it back. And then some problem. Is anyone
a little disappointed that everyone's going to get all the
money and that we didn't save any money, that we
didn't save any money to cut you down for a month,
(32:26):
We didn't make it anything. Well, I think it's the
people who worked. We got interest on their money. Maybe
get that off the top, yeah, which I mean, yeah,
hell yeah, that's mostly what I'm worried about. Yeah, give
me some of that. I watched that whole press con
working class people's money's money. No man who walks around
(32:49):
in the hot ass l a sun every day, I
want his money. It's just me. I'm I'm profiting off
the government shut down. I mean I watched the whole conference,
just like wall or not while or not no no wall,
no wall? All right? Bet, Like what is this? He
spent so much of the conference, first of all, defining
(33:11):
terms like catch and release, and he told us basically
how to human traffic if we wanted to, Like he said,
you got a time up, you gotta put tape on
their mouth. You gotta put him in the car, you
gotta drive him up to the border. And you didn't
necessarily say you got to do that. He said, they
do it, but this is how they do it. It
(33:31):
was like, oh, Jay, like if I did it, this
is how I would have done it. Yeah. He got
very specific with like they don't go through the border crossing.
They go up to the border crossing, they make a right,
they drive through the thing, they drive deep into the desert,
and then they make another right or left and it's
like if they make another right, they're just going back
to Mexico. Like, I'm not sure in front of me
(33:56):
right exactly? Now that like are you giving us directions?
So you've got see to boarder and that's where you
hang a right. Okay, you want to get up so
they can see you turning right. He uh did end
up making most of his speech about the wall, but
his speech that was specifically about the wall with a
lot of backtracking and hedging where it was like, we're
(34:17):
gonna have it's gonna be a fence, it's gonna be
see through. He's still stuck on that sea through so
you can see the drugs on the other side coming.
Even though he specifically said multiple times that it was
going to be a wall, he also specifically said it
was gonna be a wall to sea, from sea to
Shining Sea. He specifically now says, I never said it
was gonna be a wall to up from sea to
(34:38):
Shining Sea, which totally did, and that it's going to
be a crazy futuristic wall with robocops and uh drones
and all sorts of going to be a vultron down there. Yes,
there's gonna be ultron. I mean, you gotta give us
a Trump because he really loves your imagination around wild,
you know what I mean. Anybody, if you really stand
(35:00):
for Trump and you believe in his bullshit, you could
really envision this wall. I was looking back at some
of his, you know, mentions of the wall during the campaign,
just to see what he actually was saying. When when
he got people, when he got his base all excited
about this, and he was talking about a thirty five
foot tall wall, and they had like an image of it,
and it was like Trump is this tiny little figure.
(35:23):
And then they like showed what a thirty five ft
wall would be, like it's like a five story building
or something or like a four story building. It was crazy.
And that doesn't sound like what he's gonna make anymore. No,
it sounds like a fit. Yeah, it does sound like
a fence. Uh, it's gonna be the best fence, the
most beautiful fence you can. Like, like being able to
see through a fence is like an amazing feature, Like
(35:45):
it's amazing, it's transparent. You can see through this. That's
a chain link fence. Trump should be selling cut knives
because he's really just something that we've all seen for
many years. Trump knives, you mean, knives that could cut
through his wall because we've seen fences for our whole lives.
But you really made it sound like it was about
(36:06):
to be some news ship. Fence sounds so good, and
I mean it is true that like when you ask
people who are experts at border security, they're like, yeah,
physical barriers are important in certain places and they mostly
exist in those places and in other places they make
no fucking sense. So it does sound like via this,
(36:28):
like you know, entirely too long shut down where he
was refusing to pay anybody. He has maybe like come
around to a rational way of thinking about this, or
a more rational way of thinking so I don't know,
we'll see how these next three weeks go. As Uh,
the government is temporarily funded, and he fights for a
(36:51):
wall of some sort, something that he can call a
wall and feel like it's a wall. Let's talk about
that as a way the guys, Oh yeah, because yes,
some of our listeners pointed out that we didn't really
tell the full story of Venezuela's troubles when we were
talking at the end of last week about the fact that,
you know, the their country has been in economic collapse
(37:14):
for years now, and America actually plays a role in that.
I think we even mentioned that. Lindsay Graham said that
Alexandria Cassio Cortez wants to turn America into Venezuelan's style
socialist disaster or something of that effect. So we should
probably mention that America has played a large role in
(37:35):
Venezuela's current economic situation. First of all, they have imposed
unilateral and illegal financial embargoes which cut Venezuela off from
most financial markets, and these are illegal by international law. UM.
So it's causing even greater shortages of essential goods, including
(37:57):
food and medicine. Uh, and it makes aconomic recovery basically
impossible for them. And then there's also you know, a
big cause of their economic collapse was the two thousand
fourteen fall in oil prices, and there is some speculation
that that was the result of a US and Saudi
(38:18):
conspiracy to basically flood the international market with cheap oil,
right and super produce around a Hosier. This is something
you talked about on your tremendous podcast Ethnically Ambiguous. Yes. Uh,
if you go back to episode four, we are terrible
at this. We did discuss how Saudi Arabia is considered
a swing producer of oil and they basically wanted to
(38:40):
take out Iran in America's oil and America so America
was doing fracking, that's how they were getting their oil.
But because also America didn't want Russia to have any
oil power, so they teamed up with Saudi Arabia and
we're like, okay, yeah, fuck our oil too, and basically
did it. Saudi Arabia. They have so much oil they
(39:02):
can regulate the market. They only to sell for seven
dollars a barrel, while America was selling for sixty dollars barrel,
so they already knew they could run the market, and
they wanted to take out Iran's ability to sell oil.
They want to take out Russia's ability to sell oil.
They just want to run the market, and in doing
so they did. But they basically screwed over Venezuela. Yeah,
(39:23):
they bankrupted, and Russia and Iran all got hurt by it,
because I mean it was basically the Western Powers realized
that the non Western powers Venezuela ross Iran, we're kind
of overly leveraged in oil, like wealth was in oil.
Africa as well, like Libya and Goal in Nigeria also suffered. Yeah,
(39:44):
screw those guys. They've had too good for too long. Yeah. So,
I mean it's a long standing and obviously America has
a long history of meddling in Central and South American
nations and just supporting any right leaning regime over anybody
who wants to share a single thing with the people.
(40:07):
So yeah, it's not all just like, well look at them,
they really fucked this up. America kind of had its
foot on the scale, slash their head very deep because
they one of the reasons they want to screwy ronover
is so they'd have less money to put into like
soldiers fighting in Syria. It's all never ending circle like
(40:27):
all that screws over Venezuela. Who's over here? Like I'm
not fighting anybody, just like you deal with what happens
to you. It's wild, Yeah, it is wild. Yeah. Wild
is now the word that anytime we said in the office,
we're like, whoa, We were right when we said, people
(40:49):
say that word. I've never had less to add. I
can't imagine what y'all talked about last week where someone's like,
we need more of that boom I missed. Yeah, they're
(41:10):
no more laughing right. Oh man, Well that's um depressing,
but trying to relate to my own life and failing
to it just sucks in Venezuela as a casualty of
all of this when they're definitely they have no steak
when it comes to like global warfare rights. They just
(41:30):
have no chance because they also have a corrupt leader,
so you just like have no chance. Yeah, they've got
a lot of things going. I wasn't in the impression
it was pronounced Benethuela. There you go. That's your take
it home with you guys, Benethuella. Take it home. The
situation and Bennet and I mean they're trying to be
(41:54):
self sufficient, like cutting your own hair for instance. Oh,
they're all nuts. These people don't deserve oil. I don't
know what. All right, we're going to take another quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back, and let's talk
(42:20):
about Facebook. Facebook plans to integrate its messaging services on Instagram,
What'sapp and Facebook Messenger. This is my friends and I
actually moved off of What's App onto a different service
where you can have your messages like disappear. I think
it's called Signal because we realize Facebook owns What'sapp. So
(42:43):
I don't I don't know who this is going to full,
but it does seem that they're saying that this is
like a personal project of Mark Zuckerbrock where he wants
to get it all together now because he's trying to
get his mits on that Instagram you know, all those
Instagram users. Is that's what people actually use now because
Facebook is dying after after that ship you did with
(43:06):
the elections, Like we're not giving you no more of
our information. Damn, you don't got my bank account information
from vemmo. You got all my messages from Facebook and
everywhere else, Like I'm going back. I'm taking it old school.
I'm gonna start sending carrier pigeons and just hoping. Yeah.
You like he's already got it right now take the
(43:26):
rest I mean fully in my pocket and I'm like
I can't get it out. Is that where we are?
Like fuck it? I mean, have it, take it. I
don't have anything to take it, right, I mean, I
guess that's another mentality. It's I just hope he doesn't
look at my safari. He's definitely looking at I just
(43:47):
think what's that was where we used to correspond with
our foreign bays? You know what I mean? If you
have domestic bays who have foreign bays who do why
are transfersencr bank account so that you could buy shoes
and bags? This is everybody's life, right right? This is normal.
Right I'm actually speaking about people I know, um, but
you know that's how you do it. You did on
What's App and now What's app is getting sketched. You
know what you can do on Instagram? So is you
(44:07):
can delete dms on Instagram. They already changed that so
you can snatch back d ms that you send on Instagram. Yes,
I found out because like, right, I found out because
some guy did it to me once, like had messaged
me a bunch of stuff, and then I came back
into the messages one day, presumably to show someone, and
he has snatched them back. Son, you look so crazy.
(44:30):
It's just you like just messaging over and over with
no respons It was crazy. But then I took that
upon myself. I was like, oh, this is my new
thing now. I mean I don't need to send I
don't need to delete dms, but you can't. Right on
signal you can delete messages. And also there's another app, Wicker,
which is apparently like the Dark Web for phones. Every
(44:52):
message disappears on the app and you can choose win,
so it can be like I send the message and
it deleted in one minute, like two hours, twenty four
hours whatever. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, that's a real good
excuse for people to say, oh, I didn't get the
message right, have deleted it in the first minute. Also,
like how much this is why I enjoy still talking
on the phone, Like if I ever have serious conversations
(45:14):
to be had, I call people so that they can't
quote me. Yes, just look at what your HR department
does at big companies, or what your friends who do
drugs do to get their drugs use those apps so
it will be there. Yeah, because HR will never have
a conversation with you about an important thing on like
(45:35):
email or text message. It's always like here, can you
call me real quickly. The thing that broke Facebook for
me when Facebook messenger came out and you can call
your Oh that was Facebook friends on the phone and
I was like yelling at someone on Facebook and then
he called me and I was just like you were
you were in that Facebook argument and they wanted God
(46:01):
in my house. That's what Facebook arguments have gotten. Two
real with somebody calls you what somebody calls you to
talk about Louis c K. What's wrong with that the plant?
The plant didn't get hurt. Yeah, you should have to
take no, that's wild. And also Facebook messengers just filled
(46:23):
with like my relatives conspiracy theories. That's all this in
my Facebook messengers, like this is what they don't want
you to know. And I'm like, oh my god, the
aliens are hypnotizing the water supply. If I get one
more message from my hotel uncle, I don't know what
I'm gonna do. Like, I don't even check I deleted
the messenger app altogether. That's what Mark Zuckerberg knows that
we deleted the app, right, Yeah, I think he's getting
(46:44):
the message. But the fact that this is now a
big story that his untainted as yet untainted apps are
now being like lumped together so you can't delete them
is I think it can probably scare people off of those. Yeah,
I guess the Instagram doesn't really have a another option
that's easy to use right now. You have to use
the d M future, which is crazy because they're already
(47:06):
in your dam's calming through that ship. Whatever you're talking
about in your d MS will eventually pop up on
your timeline as an at so so better apps. We
said signal because each person you correspond with has a
certain set of safety numbers that you can verify to
make sure it's the same person. The numbers verify the
phone and the app. So yeah, the Feds can't funk
(47:28):
with you. Signal. I'm downloading this right now. Yeah, this
is a great ad. And there's an option to make
messages disappear, so they don't automatically disappear. But but if
you want to be shady, you can and if you
want to be really shady wicker like we were saying, no,
I only want to be a certain level, right, Yeah,
just like Tiger Woods cheating on his wife Shade, but
(47:51):
not like right that was still purchasing children from Mexico.
It's like, if you want to go to Craigslist or
do you want to go to back page? Like if
I tell you to go to backpage, that's a deep
level of shady right right, what is backpage? I've been
seeing that everywhere. Actually there's like there's now these vans
all over Los Angeles, there's like backpages, backage. What was
(48:16):
crazy was Kamala Harris and her organization, you know, as
a senator, where they were very much against backpage. Backpage
is like Craigslist. Like Craigslist dirtier, seedier, nastier cousin yes,
um who Craig don't even want to be within public
because my problem with Craigslist is it's too just clean
(48:37):
and up and up and trustworthy, Like I just I
only meet these like really upstanding people on Craigslist, killer like,
but backpage is like there's a lot of prostitution that
happens on backpage, which it kind of depends on where
you stand for sex work. I personally I am an
advocate for sex workers. But Backpage has a lot of
sex work on it, and there's a lot of other
(48:57):
shady ship. There was that story, remember the Zola story,
worry on Twitter, um with that girl was tweeting that
she like went to Florida with that other girl. And
then the murder. Yeah that was off a back page.
Oh yeah, a murder. I forgot that. I don't know.
There was supposed to be a movie too. She was
a really good storytelling. She was she was excellent. She
(49:18):
should be telling you know, she's probably just in editorial
hell right, right exactly, Like I want to get back
to Twitter. She's dealing with the person who edited Twilight,
and they're like, so we need you to stop ending
these with clauses, right yeah, yeah, yeah, so that page
(49:43):
is very seedy. Remember back page, you know in New
York for the Village Voice, the back page it's called
back Page, and I think like it ran on different
weeklies around the country, and it was like, you know,
a lot of sex work, but then there was like
the very back page was like mostly like I want
to quit and weed. Yeah, study you you got You
(50:07):
gotta be real creepy to get all the way to
that back page. Right. Yeah, you're like, well I've tried
all these let's let's move forward. Well, Nick, it's been
a pleasure having you. Man, it's over. It's over. Where
can people find you? Um? You can find me online
on Chrome mostly. Um. No, I actually started a new podcast,
(50:30):
And it's why I have so many opinions about Netflix,
and it's it's why I know so much about Will Miles. Um,
because we do a podcast every week where we watch
as much as we can that comes out on Friday, um,
and then we like do a podcast a couple of
days later. So it's just like, um, it's kind of
the only place to find out what is new on Netflix.
Because Netflix keeps everything in secret. They don't tell you
(50:53):
anything until it's popular. They'll be like, Okay, you can
watch this thing that came out six weeks ago. We
put a billboard up now. Um. Everything is a secret,
and they have so much Like most Fridays they'll drop
like ten twelve things and it's like tons of move
tons of original movies and series from around the world
and stuff. It's like, why I know about instant hotel. Um,
(51:13):
so there is a lot of gems. There's also a
lot of crap, but it's called recently added and uh
yeah it's new. And do you just like bail on
something the second you realize it sucks? Oh sure, yeah,
like some I really try to be a completist and
I'm the only one. Um, what are your feelings on
bird Bucks? Yeah? Oh well bird Box is great, and
(51:33):
like that's the kind of thing where like everybody knows
about bird bicks, you know. Like what we want to
talk about is like Memories of the Hambra, which is
this Korean drama that's like about this game that where
you can you can play like in real life, like
just in your life, and it's really incredible and I
love it, but I just would never hear about it.
(51:55):
This is a dope podcast concept. And that's also a
dope marketing strategy for Netflix because then we never think
that place is putting out trash because they only market
ship that was successful. Yeah. I was like, damn, Netflix
is killing it while they're just burying ship that was bad.
Yeah exactly, Well this didn't work out and you'll never know.
People will just Yeah, that's the thing. It's like we
(52:16):
don't need to do it because like people that things
will grow to help us. Uh. And that's us doing free,
free work for Netflix. Get at me. Yeah. And is
there a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh yeah, no, I
got one here, pulled up on the old phone ski. Okay,
here's from Nick vaderat Um, the hilarious Nick vaderat been
(52:36):
a guest on this fer fight broke out on Hollywood
Boulevard and Spider Man did nothing. He just stood around
getting his picture taken. I love imagining, so I just
feel like Spider Man. I'm just gonna stand there. Uh lazy. Yes,
(52:59):

(53:21):
my podcast, Scam Goddess. Yes. I will be tweeting about it,
So follow me on Twitter and you will find those
tweets um and a tweet that I'm really enjoying. Well,
I'll give you two tweets. One is from Naomi and
bringing Black Dress who's a New York comedian. I think
she's an a line now yeast I met her in
(53:42):
New York and then like I have seen her a
couple of times around the life, but um, she said
this homeless man outside McDonald's parking lot said, can I
get a dollar? I'm trying to eat like I'm at
the White House. And then another one from Dwayne Perkins
is I wish that that man was gonna suck dick
for water for the fire festival. Was the mayor of Flint, Michigan. Yes, guys,
(54:07):
Flint still halfway water. So just a reminder that that
guy is still just amazing, just burned indelibly into my memory.
I love that guy, the guy who was willing to
suck dick for water. Paul Thompkins tweeted last week like
has anybody checked with him, Like has he gotten therapy
since that happened? Oh yeah, his name is Andy King, producer.
(54:32):
It really is like one of the best moments in
cinematic history. It gets up there with like, you know,
Bill Murray whispering to Scarlett Johansson. It's just like I'll
never forget and everyone knows what you're talking about. Instantly Yeah,
just I mean he was really down. He never even
talked about maybe like contemplating or being like is this
too much? He immediately was down. Shout out to him,
(54:54):
I want more people working with me like that. That's
all you would tell you to suck dick. I want
you to be like winning where and how many? I
need my Andy King? That's whatever. That's I guarantee that's
gonna start being a thing that like entrepreneurs and so
on Valley say, who's my Andie King King? I need
(55:16):
an suck dick for this app exactly. He washed his
mouth out. I know that was the thing that super
producer Nick Stuff was like. I thought he was gonna
say he washed his mouth out, and then like went
over and like grabbed the like command by the throat
and was like, don't you ever ask me to do that?
But instead he was like, wash my mouth out and
(55:37):
went over there fully willing to suck that guy's dick
for eavy on Water dedication. Shout out to you, Andy King,
you are real king. Yes, and get therapy. Uh At
Kimble Smith tweeted, If that dragon isn't trained by now,
it's not gonna happen and at pixelated Boat tweeted, if
they can't afford food for load workers should simply allow
(56:00):
themselves to be lifted off the ground by the center
of a delicious pie and float along the scent trail
till they reached the window sill where the pie is cooling.
Also a good idea and in addition to Wilburg Ross's
uh plan uh. You can follow me on Twitter at
Jack Underscore O'Brien. You can follow us on Twitter at
daily Zeygeist where at the Daily Zeigeist on Instagram. We
(56:22):
have a Facebook fan page and a website, Daily zigeist
dot com where we post our episodes and our footnotes. Yeah,

we talked about in today's episode, as well as the
song we ride out on Super Producer around the hosny A.

I'm gonna recommend Morning Air by Porta's Head because this
(56:46):
a great song in Porta's Head Data Bass, Sheeta Bass
is the greatest song in the world. Sometimes I put
this song on just to think about Andy King. Okay,
that morning Air, that fresh morning Air. That tell is yeah,
I'm ready to water all right. At it wasn't for
(57:08):
what's like horrible water that I hate Fiji, I wouldn't
suck no dick water, Okay, heavy on, I'll suck on
dick for it. That's one of my favorite jokes in
a movie is uh. I think it's in Jesus's magic
Sam like like she gets mad at her assistant for
bringing Fiji water and she's like it's too heavy and thick,
but it's dirt, and that's what that's actually how I
(57:28):
feel about water. It's like drinking dirt. It is. I
don't like avion. That's my only one I have. No
we'll suck different dicks. We'll suck dick for more dicks.
Favorite favorite water anybody smart water? Smart water all day
or day. I just like pulling, you know, because I'm

I connect my phone to like my car speaker, and
sometimes when I do that, Pandora. Pandora popped up and uh,
(02:10):
it started playing stand up And this happens all the
time for some reason, like Pandora has a deal with
my car company to like make their apps start anytime

but you are a very very funny stand up comedian.
Oh man, that is great. I don't even need anything
else out of this. Podcast. All right, and Nick has left.
All Right, Nick, we're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
(02:53):
our listeners a couple of things. We're talking about. The
Game has a new album coming out in which he
brags about some interactions he had with Kim Kardashian. We're
just gonna talk about those lyrics and just the general
phenomenon of people bragging about interactions that've had with Kim
(03:14):
Kardashian and whether she is the only person like that,
whether she is our Marilyn Monroe. We're gonna talk about
Roger Stone redefining totally fucked. Uh. We're gonna talk about
how Fox News is dealing with that fact the shutdown
being temporarily shut down. We're gonna talk about the background
(03:37):
of Venezuela's uh state of disrepair, in America's role they're in.
And we're gonna talk about Facebook's plan too, you know,
funk up our world by linking Instagram. What's happened? You
know it's a pet project of Mark Zuckerberg, so you
know it's got to be good for us. But first, Nick,
(03:57):
what is something from your search history that is revealing
who you are. All right, it's mostly stuff about how
to make money a podcast, but then it's Um, I
was asking if cutting your own hair was a sign
of mental illness, cutting your own hair, yeah, because I've
always thought that, and my dad started, um cutting his
(04:20):
own hair, I don't know, not having it. Uh huh.
So I was looking for for something to send him to, uh,
to get him to stop. He's got money. How much
is their hair cut? Was he cutting good? Is it?
It's not fire? Hunt of good? Is he using a mirror? Slusuh?
(04:44):
He does? I mean, you know it's just short hair,
gus curly hair, his hair curly too. No, No, I
got my mom's do up here. Um, it's wavy, it's
you know, it's it's like the waves they photoshop on people.
Waves the AirPod mixed. Dad has waves the airplas guy,
it looks like Roger from Doug Your sounds like za. Yeah,
(05:08):
he's sexy as hell, but you know he's got to
stay that way by checking out a salon and he's
just at that stage where he's like, you know what,
I just realized this is an easy way to save money?
Or like what what is what I guess you know,
it's annoying to go to a salon. Every time I
go to salon, I'm like, I wish there was a
(05:29):
better way, because you can't take out your phone, and
that's mostly it. I don't know why it's still rude
to look at your phone when you're at the salon.
I mean it, I think, so I don't see anybody
doing it. I thought you were going to say you
can't check out your phone because you don't want your
style is all open your phone. Oh no, I have
no secrets from my chrome. Right as long as we
(05:49):
keep the safari in public, maybe there's different men like
salon ed care rules because I have my phone out.
Oh yeah, I don't see it. Well. I like always
get my haircut at Rudy's and there's um, you know,
tons you can see like tons of other chairs while
you get your haircut, And I'm just like, I am
waiting for like when the scales tip and people start
(06:10):
pulling out their phones and I am going to be
the fourth person there to do it. Old conversation, old time,
and you are at the whim because one lady there,
it's the only lady I've ever asked to not cut
my hair because I always go in. I'm like, who
are you? You got? And then changed last year because
(06:31):
I got the same lady twice. I never get the
same person twice. I got the same lady twice and
she wanted to have conversations with me about how she
put her mom in a home. And the first one
was on Mother's Day and I'm just like, this is
no good. And I saw it and it was like
the same conversation next time. So the third time I started,
and I didn't like the haircut. So the third time
I saw her, I just like, you know, like Jerry
being offered a piece of apple pie. I just shaking
(06:53):
my head silently, and she's like, you don't want me,
that's fine. So now I put people's names in my
phone when I like them, and I say, do of
these three people or no, whoever listen? Loyalty to a
hairstyle list really comes in. I used to go to
the same hairstyles who definitely was a criminal, was abaiting
other criminal activity. I had to stop going when her
other clients starts stealing from me. But I was really
(07:15):
stu her. I really stuck with her. She was going
to jail I'm like, girl, I need my hair and
she's like, I'm in jail. I'm like, it's just like independent.
This is a a salon in Beverly Hills. Why how
did her other customers steal from this? Because like, you know,
you would charge your phone and then like they would
take your charger and leave their trash ready charger, just
(07:37):
like mild thefts where you'd be like, wait a minute,
you know what I love right alright? Thought that was
my handbag with your name, and it was like people
you know, like, oh she got fired from being a
stripperson that she just do fraud, And I'm like, how
do you get fired from being It's just you know,
(07:57):
I stayed with her though for a long time before
I was like, okay, I can't robbed anymore. Um, yeah,
but I would definitely I am the type of person
who would keep going back to the same person just
because I kept getting that person because I felt too bad.
But oh my girlfriend just got a terrible haircut and
you know, she cried all day. So then like she
(08:19):
went back to the salon um to get another, like
you getta redone because you can, like if you hate
it that much, they'll just redo it. Um, but she
got the same person and then she left them. Yeah,
that's just anything to avoid conflict. Can you age guys,
y'all call me? This is I swear to God, I'm
(08:45):
I will be your representative. Like no, I represent him.
He didn't like this ship. He don't want you or
your sad ass mama's stories. No more mama's stories. Oh
boss to say that. Just stand back in the mirror.
And every time she starts talking, you're just like and
(09:05):
then you do up in the shadows. We talked about
this show. Uh, Nick, what is something you think is overrated? Oh?
Tidying up with Marie? No thanks every time every time
(09:27):
I watched this show, and of course you know I
watch it, Um, just so I can tell people on
Twitter how dumb they are. Um. It's uh, it's just
like a mess. Like you go to somebody's room and
it's not crazy because I love horders too. That's fun.
Like that's when you need some some like uh, some
expert to get in there and fix it up. But
(09:49):
it's just just like you go in and they got
like bags of clothes, like trash bags for the clothes
in the room, and like boxes piled up and like
all you need is someone to go in and say,
going up all this obvious clutter up. But there's nothing
like you do not need to make a tree t P,
like a like a T shirt TP. I don't. There's
(10:12):
no way in hell that any of the stuff she
tells everyone to do is sustainable. You cannot make T
shirt tps for the rest of your life. You just
have to fold it up like you fold it and
then you put it on its side, so it's like
a little bit of a triangle. Um. And then because
you're supposed to see all your clothes every time you
(10:33):
open your drawer or every time you look in the closet,
nothing can be behind something else. Um. And it's just
not it's not sustainable. Wild. But one big part of
the book that I have not seen in the TV
show at all is getting rid of people. That's like
marine need house and be like like yes, just like this,
(10:55):
going and kick out boyfriends. That's really I have a
friend who's uh fiance got the book and so she
started doing everything. Got to the chapter about people ended there,
engagement mands out here, breaking up. How exciting is that?
That's that's not in the show that's what Maurice should
(11:16):
be doing. Incredible, Like you show up and you think
like you're just going to get your room clean, and
the next thing you know, like yo, man outside with
three boxes and he needs She needs that one segment
where Dan Savage comes in and just says dump the
motherfucker already to everybody and just starts kicking ass. Yeah,
that would be late. Yeah, that does sound like I mean,
her show producers must be trying to get her to
(11:38):
add the people element to it, because that is just
reality TV doesn't. Yeah, and that's like the most bored.
The host doesn't speak English and it's it's hard to
get across your ideas. So then there's an interpreter, but
it's just some like friend of hers or like interpreters
(11:59):
she travels with. She has no personality. Neither one of
them should be anywhere near a TV camera hosting a show.
Her interpreter needs to be like Karamo from Queer Eye,
who can I talk to someone like a human being
and tell people what's up? And uh, just something with
some personality. Netflix, get on it, merge your shows. Ironically,
what she needs is a messy bitch. Yes, yes, what
(12:26):
what is something? You think is underrated. Okay, yeah, I'm
sticking with the Netflix theme. Uh. It's Instant Hotel. It's
a reality company competition reality show UM based around airbnbs. Uh.
And it's out of Australia, which is where all the
good shows are coming from. And it's five teams groups
(12:47):
of two and they each run their own air and
B and b like in life, and so this competition
is they all like get together and then go around
to each other's Airbnbs and spend a night and then
they rate them and it gets real catty. So it's
just their home that they're opening up to other people. Yes,
and they're all fantastic, you know because like these people.
(13:09):
I've never been to an airbnb like like the one
any of these people put because these are some of
these are like thousands of dollars a night, So I
should just stay at a hotel. I mean it's not Yeah,
these aren't saving you money because I'm about paying a thousand.
Somebody better be knocking on the door with the pillow
and sheets. All the other teams come, so it's you
need a place for eight people, so it's going to
(13:30):
be pricey, yes, yeah, yeah, and then um so everybody
rates everybody, but then like there's a winner, and so
like halfway through, people realize, oh, we need to start
rating very poorly everyone and just like some teams like
go for it, and so it turns into like say
(13:53):
yes to the dress or what is it? No? Four
weddings where all the women go to the weddings and
then apart like it was beautiful my sake? What's cook?
So I gave it a one. Yeah. Yeah, because you're
waiting each other is what you're saying. Yeah, that's good
because I've been saying it's like House Hunter's International Meat Survivor. Yeah,
I was gonna say survivor, where you like that person
(14:13):
best at the game because you're worried about them eventually, yes,
like their places too nice. So there's this this weird
shift because there the season happens if there's two groups.
There's like one five episodes with these one group people
in another five episodes, but in the first one they
don't really get to that they don't really get but
then the second one it happens real quick, happens with
a bunch of people, and it is nasty and it
(14:33):
is so fun and instant Hotel which I guess what
they call Airbnb's in Australia Easton Hotels. But it's like
the most fun show I've seen all year, and I
can't recommend it highly an instant hotels. You know what
I'm doing this weekend opening my house up as an Airbnb?
Turning off? What is a myth? What's something people think
(14:57):
is true? Um? Okay, we'll cutting your hair. I don't know.
Can I just tell you another sign of mental illness
that I discovered. I just don't want to be I
just want people to be on the lookout and like
this thing. It might seem fun and innocuous, but it's dangerous.
And you brought up Doug earlier. Um, and Doug, you know,
(15:20):
where's the same thing every day? Yeah? He opened his
closet and he's got on the same office And that's
a sign of mental illness. He's wearing the same clothes
all the time. Because I have a friend of mine,
Will Miles. Okay and look him up. I thought, I thought,
you guys, he's wearing the same thing every day for
(15:41):
this year. It just started January one, but it it
all it entails is like, um, a button up dark
blue shirt and then he can like change the T
shirt and the same pants. So it's the dark blue
shirt and the pants, but they're wearing a dark blue
button up right now. By the way, Well yes, but
his he's doing it as a thing. I'm doing it
(16:02):
because I own three shirts. There you go, um and
so uh So, Anyway, he was telling me that a
friend of ours whose uncle used to work in television,
he started wearing the same thing every day and he
did it like Doug though, where he had all the
outfits like Wills just washing the same I don't know
(16:24):
he maybe he got another it's so, but you know
he's got the washed her in his place. But our
friend of our uncle, that was like the first sign
that people started getting nervous. And then like his script
started getting weird. And then he sent in like a
script to the network that he wrote that was just
gibberish on every line. It was like a conversation characters
(16:45):
would have, but it was like mergeous back. And then
after that he got committed. So, yeah, if you see
your friends wearing the same clothes over and over, talk
to them. Now, this is something that I've heard as
like a Ted Talk style life hack, like take the
(17:06):
decisions out of your morning and just the same thing. Yes,
Steve Jobs did it. There's a bunch of tech millionaires. Uh.
One of my favorite comedians, Jason man Zukas does it apparently,
h and I kind of have done it before, just
because I paid too much credence to Ted Talks. Yeah,
(17:27):
I did it. I mean I'm not wearing the thing today,
but if I ever have to like wear something somewhat nice,
I'll wear white button up with jeans. Oh, I could
never do that. I can easily recognized from afar. Right. Yeah,
And I think it's like a I wonder if it's
just yeah, you're a little too neurotic about little decisions,
(17:48):
so you take one little decision out of your life,
hoping that that will just simplify your life, but it doesn't. Necessarily,
it just allows you to be neurotic about other things. Yeah.
I really love that outfit. Yeah, yeah, that's true. And
if you sweat a lot, I would not recommend a
white button up shirt because you will burn through those
things very quickly. All right, guys, let's talk about the game.
(18:14):
He is back out here with a new album coming out,
and at a listening party at the end of last week,
somebody noted that he has a lyric in there in
which he rather graphically brags about having some manner of
sexual congress with someone who people suspect might be Kim
(18:36):
Kardashian because he says Kim Kardashian, he says her full name.
Let's listen to it. So, yeah, that's pretty graphic. There's
(18:57):
no there's no interpreting that one away. Um, and he
also says, and hey, sorry to her husband, who is
my good friend. But Lacy, you brought up the fact
that this is just wild that people are like, this
is such acclaim to fame having had sex with Kim Kardashian.
This ship is so lame. I mean, it just really
(19:20):
kind of turns like misogynistic bullshit on its head, because
men want women to feel shame because they had sex
with you, Like Kim Barneshian is richer than you the game, okay,
Like Kim Kardashian is selling every gloss and and constitler
and cream out here, honey, and we're loving it. Like
it's weird to see all these men, uh, you know,
(19:41):
spend time trying to have a claim to fame from
having sex with a woman like it's the lamest shit ever,
Like I hit it first, reg I made a whole song,
sat in a booth and made a whole song about
Kim Kardashian and him hitting it first. I just think
you look like a loser. I mean, isn't it just
a compliment to her. It's just like any buddy who
has can be connected to her on a hook up
(20:03):
tree is like bragging about it. It's like, damn, we
talked about this, and I think the other woman in
history that was like this was probably Marilyn Monroe. Like
they made a movie about a dude who spent two
weeks or no, not what we with Marilyn Monroe at home?
He had a movie. Yeah, Like that's goals. If I
want everybody to say that they spent time with me.
(20:25):
I mean, it's so funny too, because that was they
probably had sex in like the eight months that the
game was famous. So she was like, yeah, I like
a famous guy and that's that was cool for me,
and yeah, and then you haven't had anything like that since. Yeah. Yeah.
It is probably more of a commentary on where he's
(20:46):
at than anything. I literally remember one the game song
that yeah, yeah, He's like, I ain't going nowhere. She's
and I mean, I guess he didn't go anywhere. He
didn't go out, he didn't go up still here you
(21:06):
guys New Splash. You do want to go somewhere. You
don't want to just go nowhere? Right? Um? Yeah, the
game lives in Burbank. So why does Kanye even have
to think about this? Why he's even responded about this?
Nobody cares. I don't know what he has, but people
are suspecting that this is not going to do great
things for him because of how he responded to the
(21:28):
mirror implication in Drake lyrics that something was going on
with him and Kim Kardashian. I mean, I think you
gotta know who you're with, okay, and that goes for
women in it, if your man or your woman. You know,
I was out here in the streets, you know, street
sweeping every Wednesday and Tuesday for you know, parking here,
(21:49):
you know, no parking here, but you can park for
two hours, you know what I mean? Like, you gotta
know they probably have, you know, a trail of people
in their past, and there's nothing wrong with that. It
doesn't listen your value as a person. You certainly can't
get surprised and upset if people want to talk about it,
they're lame for talking about it. But you also can't
be out here trying to beat everybody's ask who you
know has sex with your wife? Yeah, now it does
(22:09):
seem like it's he's talking about it in excessive detail. Yes, look,
that's just what happens when you have sex. You don't
use those words maybe in the recounting to your friends
that we're friends wife, but yeah, maybe not. But it happens.
You know, things get things, things, people cough, get swallowed.
It is amazing that he remembers it in such vivid detail.
(22:32):
You know, he has not stopped thinking about that clearly,
I mean shout out to him. This sounds like you're
working with the great package. Who doesn't, I mean, what
to beat that person in life that gets to have
sex with just like dozens and dozens of the hottest,
coolest people you know in the country. That's real cool,
I know. Yeah, No, she is a phenomenon. Yeah. But
(22:53):
then at the same time, I think, like just from
seeing couples all over, I'm like every couple I know
it's having sex and they're not all highest spicy and ship.
But I assume they're having a similar experience, like you
know what I mean, I can't get that different. So
you know, guys, don't worry. If you haven't had sex
with Kim Kardashian, you're you're probably still having a good life. YEA,
thank you for you have. I thought you're gonna stand up.
(23:20):
I was choking. I couldn't even work up the words
to talk to her. Oh God, alright, we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back and her back.
(23:40):
And Roger Stone on Friday morning had a truly rude awakening,
as did his neighbor, chad Ocho Senko, who was one
of the man men on the street for news reporters.
He was like, man, my neighbor got arrested by the
FBI today. That's crazy, um. But yeah, so Roger Stone
(24:03):
got raided by the FBI. They came in guns drawn
or at least fully armed, and took him away and
he was, you know, brought up on charges, seven charges
in particular, including obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and lying
to Congress. And there's some pretty juicy details in there,
like so on multiple occasions, the indictment says Stone told
(24:27):
senior Trump campaign officials about materials possessed by Wiki leaks.
They call it Organization one in the in the indictment
and the timing of future releases, Honor. About October third,
two thousand sixteen, Stone wrote to a supporter involved with
a Trump campaign spoke to my friend in London last night.
The payload is still coming, very suggestive, Lee worded, but
(24:51):
we'll move on, Honor. About October four, two thousand sixteen,
Stone told high ranking Trump campaign official that the head
of Organization one Wiki leaks had a quote serious security concern,
but would release quote a load every week going forward.
And Muller also points to the fact that someone high
up in the campaign, who people think is Bannon, was
(25:13):
directed to reach out to Stone to find out more
on WikiLeaks releases, and Wiki leaks has essentially been connected
to Russia and the Russia Russian hacking. Russia hacked these
emails and they ended up being released by Wiki leaks,
so there was some sort of transmitdle going on behind
the scenes there. And there's a paragraph that even suggests
(25:35):
that Stone directed Wiki Leaks to start putting out damaging
info about Hillary Clinton's health and memory, and well look
at that they did. They did do that. That became
a storyline even in the mainstream media started on the right,
but then the mainstream media picked it up. And when
he showed up in court, he said basically hurry up
(25:57):
and pardon me, but not in those words. He said,
this is a witch hunt and I plead absolutely not guilty. Uh.
Some other details that I found pretty interesting was he
was constantly talking to this one dude and telling him
to lie to Congress and then saying that he had
(26:17):
to be like the dude and the godfather who lied
to Congress because he was scared and under threat. And
then once Stone started suspecting that individual Number two was
speaking to Mueller, he threatened to quote take his dog,
like literally killed the guy's dog, like mafia stuff. Um.
(26:39):
And meanwhile, in the Fox News universe, none of this matters. Uh,
they say Stone won't roll That was their headline after
he said that he wasn't going to I mean essentially
they're saying won't roll over on the press, so like
they're part of the mob in that word, Yeah, like
(26:59):
rolling Stone, I get it, but also like won't roll over. Yeah,
he ain't no snitch, not a rat. That is exactly
what it said. And then from earlier in the morning,
Fox's headline was Mueller Roger Stone fibbed about advising Team
Trump on stolen Podesta emails. Fibbed like fibbed. That's that's
(27:23):
just yeah, yeah, I mean that's really harsh. You can't
you can't put it more harshly than that. But yeah,
it's pretty clear that things don't look good. Uh. Sarah
Sanders at the end of last week came out and said, well,
this has nothing to do with the president, that's for sure.
It's like, this is his campaign to get elected president. Motherfucker,
(27:44):
what are you talking about. I suspect that Roger will
be a rolling stone, yes, and the prison is where
he'll be lay his head time. I also thought it
was very funny that Chato Sinko lives in the same
neighborhood as Roger Stone, and that begs the question is
Chad doing well or is Roger doing bad? I want
(28:06):
to know he already has a Nixon back tattoo, so
I mean that would be amazing. You know, he bought
he must have bought a franchise or something that worked.
Oto Sinko start. It showed bright, but it was brief. Yes,
it was very brief. Sinko must have one of those
scooty bikes or something out here, you know whatever rappers
(28:29):
are making their income off. You got in earlier on
the bird scooting right. This whole time we've been riding
on Ocho Cincoes. I didn't even know it. This is
crazy that one Fox News has just become like, are
y'all even giving news out anymore? Or is this just
like support of crime or just always amazing to see
(28:50):
how they're because they are immediately contorting themselves to get
their head as far up there asked as possible and
like keep their audience like in the same position, and
because like we're all just going to acknowledge that this
ship is happening and that Trump is doing crime and
that there was clusion with Russia, and now Fox News
is only job is to like combat. I guess people
(29:12):
like the justice system, so their their line of defense
is that because all of the charges are specifically about
obstruction and witness tampering, things that totally innocent people always do,
that they don't specifically talk about collusion or crimes that
happened before the Muller investigation. And it's like, yeah, because
(29:33):
they're building a case about like what happened before the
Mueller investigation. You know, at some point of the day,
absolutely nothing matters to me as a as a very
left liberal. The ins and outs are unimportant. You know.
It's just like today, right, that's all I need to do, right,
(29:54):
I mean, if Fox doesn't stopped playing, like they're really
starting to sound like rappers, Like I remember this kind
of head like amount when low Cam refused to snitch
and went to jail, Like these are very similar, like
I thought on it, like black people. Yeah, they He's
not gonna roll the president, that's for sure. Yeah. They
are basically the that should become there instead of fair
(30:15):
and balanced that should just snitches. Does the same things
like they bury a certain articles, Like every time you know,
there's an article about how aliens are hypnotizing our drinking water,
CNN won't even write they definitely have an anti aliens
or because yeah, and we know that's what's happening. Yeah,
(30:36):
and we know that's true because the aliens told us
through our drinking water and the fillings in our teeth.
Let's talk about the shutdown which are fearless leader. The
president on Friday address the nation and announced that he
had worked with Congress to get it suspended for three weeks.
(30:56):
The government will reopen and the people who have not
been paid for their past to paychecks will be paid
very quickly or or as soon as possible, which is
not you did not want that. That qualification, Yeah on
the table. Yeah, they're they're getting back for sure. I'm
(31:19):
just so confused as to like, when is somebody going
to make me like, you know, maps have legends, like
what is my decode for for? You know Trump's very elusive,
vague gas terminology, like when can we quantify very quickly?
Can we quantify as soon as possible? You know, I
thought Spectrum Cable was funked up with their hours, like
(31:40):
we're gonna come by your house from nine am to midnight.
That's a very open window. But at least I know
by twelve I'm gonna have cable like Trump is like,
you know, you're gonna get it when it comes at
that time, and at that time it will be you
know there and that you are it's close to what
(32:04):
you are. I was just waiting for him to be
like and look I invested some of your money, so
I can't get it all to you right away, but
I will get you and I owe you, and you're
gonna get it back. And then some problem. Is anyone
a little disappointed that everyone's going to get all the
money and that we didn't save any money, that we
didn't save any money to cut you down for a month,
(32:26):
We didn't make it anything. Well, I think it's the
people who worked. We got interest on their money. Maybe
get that off the top, yeah, which I mean, yeah,
hell yeah, that's mostly what I'm worried about. Yeah, give
me some of that. I watched that whole press con
working class people's money's money. No man who walks around
(32:49):
in the hot ass l a sun every day, I
want his money. It's just me. I'm I'm profiting off
the government shut down. I mean I watched the whole conference,
just like wall or not while or not no no wall,
no wall? All right? Bet, Like what is this? He
spent so much of the conference, first of all, defining
(33:11):
terms like catch and release, and he told us basically
how to human traffic if we wanted to, Like he said,
you got a time up, you gotta put tape on
their mouth. You gotta put him in the car, you
gotta drive him up to the border. And you didn't
necessarily say you got to do that. He said, they
do it, but this is how they do it. It
(33:31):
was like, oh, Jay, like if I did it, this
is how I would have done it. Yeah. He got
very specific with like they don't go through the border crossing.
They go up to the border crossing, they make a right,
they drive through the thing, they drive deep into the desert,
and then they make another right or left and it's
like if they make another right, they're just going back
to Mexico. Like, I'm not sure in front of me
(33:56):
right exactly? Now that like are you giving us directions?
So you've got see to boarder and that's where you
hang a right. Okay, you want to get up so
they can see you turning right. He uh did end
up making most of his speech about the wall, but
his speech that was specifically about the wall with a
lot of backtracking and hedging where it was like, we're
(34:17):
gonna have it's gonna be a fence, it's gonna be
see through. He's still stuck on that sea through so
you can see the drugs on the other side coming.
Even though he specifically said multiple times that it was
going to be a wall, he also specifically said it
was gonna be a wall to sea, from sea to
Shining Sea. He specifically now says, I never said it
was gonna be a wall to up from sea to
(34:38):
Shining Sea, which totally did, and that it's going to
be a crazy futuristic wall with robocops and uh drones
and all sorts of going to be a vultron down there. Yes,
there's gonna be ultron. I mean, you gotta give us
a Trump because he really loves your imagination around wild,
you know what I mean. Anybody, if you really stand
(35:00):
for Trump and you believe in his bullshit, you could
really envision this wall. I was looking back at some
of his, you know, mentions of the wall during the campaign,
just to see what he actually was saying. When when
he got people, when he got his base all excited
about this, and he was talking about a thirty five
foot tall wall, and they had like an image of it,
and it was like Trump is this tiny little figure.
(35:23):
And then they like showed what a thirty five ft
wall would be, like it's like a five story building
or something or like a four story building. It was crazy.
And that doesn't sound like what he's gonna make anymore. No,
it sounds like a fit. Yeah, it does sound like
a fence. Uh, it's gonna be the best fence, the
most beautiful fence you can. Like, like being able to
see through a fence is like an amazing feature, Like
(35:45):
it's amazing, it's transparent. You can see through this. That's
a chain link fence. Trump should be selling cut knives
because he's really just something that we've all seen for
many years. Trump knives, you mean, knives that could cut
through his wall because we've seen fences for our whole lives.
But you really made it sound like it was about
(36:06):
to be some news ship. Fence sounds so good, and
I mean it is true that like when you ask
people who are experts at border security, they're like, yeah,
physical barriers are important in certain places and they mostly
exist in those places and in other places they make
no fucking sense. So it does sound like via this,
(36:28):
like you know, entirely too long shut down where he
was refusing to pay anybody. He has maybe like come
around to a rational way of thinking about this, or
a more rational way of thinking so I don't know,
we'll see how these next three weeks go. As Uh,
the government is temporarily funded, and he fights for a
(36:51):
wall of some sort, something that he can call a
wall and feel like it's a wall. Let's talk about
that as a way the guys, Oh yeah, because yes,
some of our listeners pointed out that we didn't really
tell the full story of Venezuela's troubles when we were
talking at the end of last week about the fact that,
you know, the their country has been in economic collapse
(37:14):
for years now, and America actually plays a role in that.
I think we even mentioned that. Lindsay Graham said that
Alexandria Cassio Cortez wants to turn America into Venezuelan's style
socialist disaster or something of that effect. So we should
probably mention that America has played a large role in
(37:35):
Venezuela's current economic situation. First of all, they have imposed
unilateral and illegal financial embargoes which cut Venezuela off from
most financial markets, and these are illegal by international law. UM.
So it's causing even greater shortages of essential goods, including
(37:57):
food and medicine. Uh, and it makes aconomic recovery basically
impossible for them. And then there's also you know, a
big cause of their economic collapse was the two thousand
fourteen fall in oil prices, and there is some speculation
that that was the result of a US and Saudi
(38:18):
conspiracy to basically flood the international market with cheap oil,
right and super produce around a Hosier. This is something
you talked about on your tremendous podcast Ethnically Ambiguous. Yes. Uh,
if you go back to episode four, we are terrible
at this. We did discuss how Saudi Arabia is considered
a swing producer of oil and they basically wanted to
(38:40):
take out Iran in America's oil and America so America
was doing fracking, that's how they were getting their oil.
But because also America didn't want Russia to have any
oil power, so they teamed up with Saudi Arabia and
we're like, okay, yeah, fuck our oil too, and basically
did it. Saudi Arabia. They have so much oil they
(39:02):
can regulate the market. They only to sell for seven
dollars a barrel, while America was selling for sixty dollars barrel,
so they already knew they could run the market, and
they wanted to take out Iran's ability to sell oil.
They want to take out Russia's ability to sell oil.
They just want to run the market, and in doing
so they did. But they basically screwed over Venezuela. Yeah,
(39:23):
they bankrupted, and Russia and Iran all got hurt by it,
because I mean it was basically the Western Powers realized
that the non Western powers Venezuela ross Iran, we're kind
of overly leveraged in oil, like wealth was in oil.
Africa as well, like Libya and Goal in Nigeria also suffered. Yeah,
(39:44):
screw those guys. They've had too good for too long. Yeah. So,
I mean it's a long standing and obviously America has
a long history of meddling in Central and South American
nations and just supporting any right leaning regime over anybody
who wants to share a single thing with the people.
(40:07):
So yeah, it's not all just like, well look at them,
they really fucked this up. America kind of had its
foot on the scale, slash their head very deep because
they one of the reasons they want to screwy ronover
is so they'd have less money to put into like
soldiers fighting in Syria. It's all never ending circle like
(40:27):
all that screws over Venezuela. Who's over here? Like I'm
not fighting anybody, just like you deal with what happens
to you. It's wild, Yeah, it is wild. Yeah. Wild
is now the word that anytime we said in the office,
we're like, whoa, We were right when we said, people
(40:49):
say that word. I've never had less to add. I
can't imagine what y'all talked about last week where someone's like,
we need more of that boom I missed. Yeah, they're
(41:10):
no more laughing right. Oh man, Well that's um depressing,
but trying to relate to my own life and failing
to it just sucks in Venezuela as a casualty of
all of this when they're definitely they have no steak
when it comes to like global warfare rights. They just
(41:30):
have no chance because they also have a corrupt leader,
so you just like have no chance. Yeah, they've got
a lot of things going. I wasn't in the impression
it was pronounced Benethuela. There you go. That's your take
it home with you guys, Benethuella. Take it home. The
situation and Bennet and I mean they're trying to be
(41:54):
self sufficient, like cutting your own hair for instance. Oh,
they're all nuts. These people don't deserve oil. I don't
know what. All right, we're going to take another quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back, and let's talk
(42:20):
about Facebook. Facebook plans to integrate its messaging services on Instagram,
What'sapp and Facebook Messenger. This is my friends and I
actually moved off of What's App onto a different service
where you can have your messages like disappear. I think
it's called Signal because we realize Facebook owns What'sapp. So
(42:43):
I don't I don't know who this is going to full,
but it does seem that they're saying that this is
like a personal project of Mark Zuckerbrock where he wants
to get it all together now because he's trying to
get his mits on that Instagram you know, all those
Instagram users. Is that's what people actually use now because
Facebook is dying after after that ship you did with
(43:06):
the elections, Like we're not giving you no more of
our information. Damn, you don't got my bank account information
from vemmo. You got all my messages from Facebook and
everywhere else, Like I'm going back. I'm taking it old school.
I'm gonna start sending carrier pigeons and just hoping. Yeah.
You like he's already got it right now take the
(43:26):
rest I mean fully in my pocket and I'm like
I can't get it out. Is that where we are?
Like fuck it? I mean, have it, take it. I
don't have anything to take it, right, I mean, I
guess that's another mentality. It's I just hope he doesn't
look at my safari. He's definitely looking at I just
(43:47):
think what's that was where we used to correspond with
our foreign bays? You know what I mean? If you
have domestic bays who have foreign bays who do why
are transfersencr bank account so that you could buy shoes
and bags? This is everybody's life, right right? This is normal.
Right I'm actually speaking about people I know, um, but
you know that's how you do it. You did on
What's App and now What's app is getting sketched. You
know what you can do on Instagram? So is you
(44:07):
can delete dms on Instagram. They already changed that so
you can snatch back d ms that you send on Instagram. Yes,
I found out because like, right, I found out because
some guy did it to me once, like had messaged
me a bunch of stuff, and then I came back
into the messages one day, presumably to show someone, and
he has snatched them back. Son, you look so crazy.
(44:30):
It's just you like just messaging over and over with
no respons It was crazy. But then I took that
upon myself. I was like, oh, this is my new
thing now. I mean I don't need to send I
don't need to delete dms, but you can't. Right on
signal you can delete messages. And also there's another app, Wicker,
which is apparently like the Dark Web for phones. Every
(44:52):
message disappears on the app and you can choose win,
so it can be like I send the message and
it deleted in one minute, like two hours, twenty four
hours whatever. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, that's a real good
excuse for people to say, oh, I didn't get the
message right, have deleted it in the first minute. Also,
like how much this is why I enjoy still talking
on the phone, Like if I ever have serious conversations
(45:14):
to be had, I call people so that they can't
quote me. Yes, just look at what your HR department
does at big companies, or what your friends who do
drugs do to get their drugs use those apps so
it will be there. Yeah, because HR will never have
a conversation with you about an important thing on like
(45:35):
email or text message. It's always like here, can you
call me real quickly. The thing that broke Facebook for
me when Facebook messenger came out and you can call
your Oh that was Facebook friends on the phone and
I was like yelling at someone on Facebook and then
he called me and I was just like you were
you were in that Facebook argument and they wanted God
(46:01):
in my house. That's what Facebook arguments have gotten. Two
real with somebody calls you what somebody calls you to
talk about Louis c K. What's wrong with that the plant?
The plant didn't get hurt. Yeah, you should have to
take no, that's wild. And also Facebook messengers just filled
(46:23):
with like my relatives conspiracy theories. That's all this in
my Facebook messengers, like this is what they don't want
you to know. And I'm like, oh my god, the
aliens are hypnotizing the water supply. If I get one
more message from my hotel uncle, I don't know what
I'm gonna do. Like, I don't even check I deleted
the messenger app altogether. That's what Mark Zuckerberg knows that
we deleted the app, right, Yeah, I think he's getting
(46:44):
the message. But the fact that this is now a
big story that his untainted as yet untainted apps are
now being like lumped together so you can't delete them
is I think it can probably scare people off of those. Yeah,
I guess the Instagram doesn't really have a another option
that's easy to use right now. You have to use
the d M future, which is crazy because they're already
(47:06):
in your dam's calming through that ship. Whatever you're talking
about in your d MS will eventually pop up on
your timeline as an at so so better apps. We
said signal because each person you correspond with has a
certain set of safety numbers that you can verify to
make sure it's the same person. The numbers verify the
phone and the app. So yeah, the Feds can't funk
(47:28):
with you. Signal. I'm downloading this right now. Yeah, this
is a great ad. And there's an option to make
messages disappear, so they don't automatically disappear. But but if
you want to be shady, you can and if you
want to be really shady wicker like we were saying, no,
I only want to be a certain level, right, Yeah,
just like Tiger Woods cheating on his wife Shade, but
(47:51):
not like right that was still purchasing children from Mexico.
It's like, if you want to go to Craigslist or
do you want to go to back page? Like if
I tell you to go to backpage, that's a deep
level of shady right right, what is backpage? I've been
seeing that everywhere. Actually there's like there's now these vans
all over Los Angeles, there's like backpages, backage. What was
(48:16):
crazy was Kamala Harris and her organization, you know, as
a senator, where they were very much against backpage. Backpage
is like Craigslist. Like Craigslist dirtier, seedier, nastier cousin yes,
um who Craig don't even want to be within public
because my problem with Craigslist is it's too just clean
(48:37):
and up and up and trustworthy, Like I just I
only meet these like really upstanding people on Craigslist, killer like,
but backpage is like there's a lot of prostitution that
happens on backpage, which it kind of depends on where
you stand for sex work. I personally I am an
advocate for sex workers. But Backpage has a lot of
sex work on it, and there's a lot of other
(48:57):
shady ship. There was that story, remember the Zola story,
worry on Twitter, um with that girl was tweeting that
she like went to Florida with that other girl. And
then the murder. Yeah that was off a back page.
Oh yeah, a murder. I forgot that. I don't know.
There was supposed to be a movie too. She was
a really good storytelling. She was she was excellent. She
(49:18):
should be telling you know, she's probably just in editorial
hell right, right exactly, Like I want to get back
to Twitter. She's dealing with the person who edited Twilight,
and they're like, so we need you to stop ending
these with clauses, right yeah, yeah, yeah, so that page
(49:43):
is very seedy. Remember back page, you know in New
York for the Village Voice, the back page it's called
back Page, and I think like it ran on different
weeklies around the country, and it was like, you know,
a lot of sex work, but then there was like
the very back page was like mostly like I want
to quit and weed. Yeah, study you you got You
(50:07):
gotta be real creepy to get all the way to
that back page. Right. Yeah, you're like, well I've tried
all these let's let's move forward. Well, Nick, it's been
a pleasure having you. Man, it's over. It's over. Where
can people find you? Um? You can find me online
on Chrome mostly. Um. No, I actually started a new podcast,
(50:30):
And it's why I have so many opinions about Netflix,
and it's it's why I know so much about Will Miles. Um,
because we do a podcast every week where we watch
as much as we can that comes out on Friday, um,
and then we like do a podcast a couple of
days later. So it's just like, um, it's kind of
the only place to find out what is new on Netflix.
Because Netflix keeps everything in secret. They don't tell you
(50:53):
anything until it's popular. They'll be like, Okay, you can
watch this thing that came out six weeks ago. We
put a billboard up now. Um. Everything is a secret,
and they have so much Like most Fridays they'll drop
like ten twelve things and it's like tons of move
tons of original movies and series from around the world
and stuff. It's like, why I know about instant hotel. Um,
(51:13):
so there is a lot of gems. There's also a
lot of crap, but it's called recently added and uh
yeah it's new. And do you just like bail on
something the second you realize it sucks? Oh sure, yeah,
like some I really try to be a completist and
I'm the only one. Um, what are your feelings on
bird Bucks? Yeah? Oh well bird Box is great, and
(51:33):
like that's the kind of thing where like everybody knows
about bird bicks, you know. Like what we want to
talk about is like Memories of the Hambra, which is
this Korean drama that's like about this game that where
you can you can play like in real life, like
just in your life, and it's really incredible and I
love it, but I just would never hear about it.
(51:55):
This is a dope podcast concept. And that's also a
dope marketing strategy for Netflix because then we never think
that place is putting out trash because they only market
ship that was successful. Yeah. I was like, damn, Netflix
is killing it while they're just burying ship that was bad.
Yeah exactly, Well this didn't work out and you'll never know.
People will just Yeah, that's the thing. It's like we
(52:16):
don't need to do it because like people that things
will grow to help us. Uh. And that's us doing free,
free work for Netflix. Get at me. Yeah. And is
there a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh yeah, no, I
got one here, pulled up on the old phone ski. Okay,
here's from Nick vaderat Um, the hilarious Nick vaderat been
(52:36):
a guest on this fer fight broke out on Hollywood
Boulevard and Spider Man did nothing. He just stood around
getting his picture taken. I love imagining, so I just
feel like Spider Man. I'm just gonna stand there. Uh lazy. Yes,
(52:59):
having you as co host, it's been so nice. V thanks,
thank you so much. Yes, you know you guys can
find me at d I v A l A c
I Diva Lacey on all platforms Twitter, Instagram, Diva Lacey. Yes. Uh,

(53:21):
my podcast, Scam Goddess. Yes. I will be tweeting about it,
So follow me on Twitter and you will find those
tweets um and a tweet that I'm really enjoying. Well,
I'll give you two tweets. One is from Naomi and
bringing Black Dress who's a New York comedian. I think
she's an a line now yeast I met her in
(53:42):
New York and then like I have seen her a
couple of times around the life, but um, she said
this homeless man outside McDonald's parking lot said, can I
get a dollar? I'm trying to eat like I'm at
the White House. And then another one from Dwayne Perkins
is I wish that that man was gonna suck dick
for water for the fire festival. Was the mayor of Flint, Michigan. Yes, guys,
(54:07):
Flint still halfway water. So just a reminder that that
guy is still just amazing, just burned indelibly into my memory.
I love that guy, the guy who was willing to
suck dick for water. Paul Thompkins tweeted last week like
has anybody checked with him, Like has he gotten therapy
since that happened? Oh yeah, his name is Andy King, producer.
(54:32):
It really is like one of the best moments in
cinematic history. It gets up there with like, you know,
Bill Murray whispering to Scarlett Johansson. It's just like I'll
never forget and everyone knows what you're talking about. Instantly Yeah,
just I mean he was really down. He never even
talked about maybe like contemplating or being like is this
too much? He immediately was down. Shout out to him,
(54:54):
I want more people working with me like that. That's
all you would tell you to suck dick. I want
you to be like winning where and how many? I
need my Andy King? That's whatever. That's I guarantee that's
gonna start being a thing that like entrepreneurs and so
on Valley say, who's my Andie King King? I need
(55:16):
an suck dick for this app exactly. He washed his
mouth out. I know that was the thing that super
producer Nick Stuff was like. I thought he was gonna
say he washed his mouth out, and then like went
over and like grabbed the like command by the throat
and was like, don't you ever ask me to do that?
But instead he was like, wash my mouth out and
(55:37):
went over there fully willing to suck that guy's dick
for eavy on Water dedication. Shout out to you, Andy King,
you are real king. Yes, and get therapy. Uh At
Kimble Smith tweeted, If that dragon isn't trained by now,
it's not gonna happen and at pixelated Boat tweeted, if
they can't afford food for load workers should simply allow
(56:00):
themselves to be lifted off the ground by the center
of a delicious pie and float along the scent trail
till they reached the window sill where the pie is cooling.
Also a good idea and in addition to Wilburg Ross's
uh plan uh. You can follow me on Twitter at
Jack Underscore O'Brien. You can follow us on Twitter at

this song on just to think about Andy King. Okay,
that morning Air, that fresh morning Air. That tell is yeah,
I'm ready to water all right. At it wasn't for
(57:08):
what's like horrible water that I hate Fiji, I wouldn't
suck no dick water, Okay, heavy on, I'll suck on
dick for it. That's one of my favorite jokes in
a movie is uh. I think it's in Jesus's magic
Sam like like she gets mad at her assistant for
bringing Fiji water and she's like it's too heavy and thick,
but it's dirt, and that's what that's actually how I
(57:28):
feel about water. It's like drinking dirt. It is. I
don't like avion. That's my only one I have. No
we'll suck different dicks. We'll suck dick for more dicks.
Favorite favorite water anybody smart water? Smart water all day
or day. I just like pulling, you know, because I'm
