little bit, but I don't have the mental elasticity at

(01:10):
the moment. Man. Just eat it, That's all I gotta say. What.
We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
by the hilarious podcast post improviser comedian movie star Mr
Eric Lampere. Thank you, gentlemen's pleasure to be back. It's
been too long. I have to say. I'll tell you
what I enjoyed about just the pre record of this podcast.

(01:31):
We're seeing how we olderd our coffeas by older, I
mean don't give the feel like cold brew. I love
a little bit of cold brew. That was quite nice.
And I saw you and it was like a cup
of Joe, just an American old fashioned cow. Yeah. We
were talking about that earlier today. Actually that the reason
that it's called Joe is because British of hugs. In

(01:56):
World War Two, you know, American soldiers were known as
Joe's and only the Americans drink coffee because it is
a bitter garbage water, and the British were like, we
drink tea, idiots. So that's how I got the name Joe. Uh.
And a little lesson for Eric. You had a sort
of I guess it would be appressing nest breezy as

(02:19):
we call I like to pretend like I'm cluny, you know, yes, yeah,
what do you mean? That's his? That's his? Like, that's yeah,
that's his brand. That's good for him. We all need
a brand, and mine is just uncut, concentrated, cold brow.
What do you think my brand would be if I
haven't made it, Like, if I haven't made it big,
I say, if whited st Clooney in the streets, de

(02:43):
Vito and the sheets, that's what. That's not his brand.
It would be like a product that I was. So
if you look at me and you're like, yeah, this
is would be perfect for Eric, some kind of designer sunglasses.
Oh yeah, I quite like it. Yeah, I feel like
it's some kind of lifestyle atem Okay, I like that,
Thank you very much, because you have like a models build,
you know what I mean? Face though, well not on face,

(03:07):
I think, so don't don't. That's again. Remember upstairs, we're
talking about beauty lies in the eye of the beholder,
right true, Well you say that, but I back in
two thousand nine, I did a commercial in the UK
that was so annoying that that I was voted at
number five biggest kind of two thousand nine. Really yeah yeah,
and was part of the British elections. It's weird, sister,

(03:29):
And if you make it to number one, you become
Prime Minister. And basically what happened was that there were
so many Facebook groups about how ugly I was, that
he typed an ugly man on Google. I was on
page two. That's right. I know that from not just
because I Googled it and I'm like, oh, yeah, I
recognize you from that. No, you've talked about that before.

(03:51):
I have cast that on a podcast I listened to.
It Probably wasn't this okay? Identity? Then remember picking the
same ship that happens on pard If I was. People
know my life anything. Everyone knows the date my parents
split up because I say to March seventh. Anyway, I
don't worry about it. It's really roll, really upset. It's fine.
It's like he's over what am I on trial? Man?

(04:13):
You know what I mean. Let's move on with the show,
all right, Eric, We're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. But first we're going
to take our listeners through what we're talking about today.
We're going to do a quick box office review of
what came out this past weekend. We're gonna talk about
the fact that Ice Tea has never had a bagel
or a cup of coffee or seen the movie e T.

(04:33):
We're going to talk about how the president uh should
maybe take a cue from China and start investing in
AI journalists because China they figured it out. They did well.
It's the first uncanny Valley less kind of AI I've
ever seen. I just I was like, yeah, that's a
person reading the news. We'll talk about that. We'll talk

(04:53):
about how the president doesn't know Matt Whittaker even though
he just named him acting Attorney General. We're gonna talk
about the amazing disappearing caravan, that entire caravan that everybody
was so worried about. Those there's a photograph of it
at the top of Drudge for a week straight and
now nobody's saying a single word because the mid terms

(05:16):
were huge out Wait, what what happened? I thought it
literally disappeared. We're gonna talk about how conservatives were cheering
at the end of last week as climate change killed
everyone in southern California. They thought that was funny. We're
gonna talk about Michelle Obama and her upcoming book and
war of words with the President. We're gonna talk the

(05:37):
ballad of Tucker Carlson, what his background is, where he
We did a little bit of a deep dive to
try and figure out what the is going on with
that guy. Papa John's is back in legal trouble. We're
gonna talk about that, and then we're gonna do a
deep dive Bloyd watch into the Sexiest Men Alive. Obviously

(05:58):
surprised you are not on this list? Am I in
your list? Oh yeah, number one? Replace inters elbow with
your face, Eric, And that's my People magazine spoilers on
And please if you tell your lawyers, I am not
going to sign that restraining order. I won't acknowledge it. Eric.
What is something from your search history that is revealing
about who you are? Hypno therapy. I've just done some

(06:21):
hypnotherapy via the internet. It's just quite scary at first
because I was like, I don't know who's I don't
know who to trust. You know, you don't want to
go like the therapy, You've gotta drive, you gotta get
there and stuff like that. Now it's just all online.
You can do it all online and it's pretty good. Actually,
it generally worked. It's hypnotized you yeah yeah, yeah, like
YouTube video. Yeah, so you've gotta like, you know, you

(06:43):
stick on the headphones, so it's it's proper surround sound. Yes,
and you get relaxed and you don't want anyone to
come into your room, and then it's amazing how it works. Huh. Yeah,
it was like over Skype or you just watched a video.
It's a video. Oh ship yourself caring YouTube? Not there? Yeah,
I'm trying to like better myself. I think it's pretty good,

(07:03):
but I can't bother to leave the house. Yeah, yeah,
go online and hope that whoever's talking to me on
the screen is not implanting me with like a secret
mission to kill everyone? Is it a voice? Is there
someone on the screen. There's someone on the screen, but
that could be doctored. You don't know what that person
is real. Yeah, it could be an AI from China.
It could be And where did they hypnotize you into

(07:25):
doing erectile this function? It's a I generally I was like, yeah,
I'm going to treat myself to a little bit more confident.
It really does. What's amazing even that video? Yeah yeah
I will, man, because it's like I'm not I'm not
ashamed to talk about It's like, you know something, guys
just need a little bit of help with the old

(07:46):
penis without the old penis, and I don't want to
take a pill. Right, it's all in the mind, isn't
It's all in the brain, is it? Though? I don't know. Well,
let's just say that my penis is very thankful for
the video. Well again, it's actually it's always hard. No,
I was gonna say, it's a real problem. The blood
is what is your other Google search? What is something

(08:08):
you think is overrated? Overrated? I would say direction, it's
no bloody brilliant, Yes, overrated. Well, clearly the truth is
now overrated. You know what truth? Some people it's like
I don't know what's real and what's not anymore? Okay,
you know, and it's it feels like that's overrated for

(08:29):
most people. Really had your head fox that bad? That
you don't know what truth is or you're just observing
a world in which we seem like we're in a
post truth worldth But do you you yourself, do know
what the truth is? I know what the truth? It
does not even matter anymore, yeah, I think, But yeah,
but I understand because yeah, we're increasingly moving into like
all you have to be is like no, no, that's

(08:50):
not true. Yeah, and then you're like, okay, cool, Yeah,
it's terrifying. Moving on, I'll try that with the police
next time. Yes, someone's saying that we should all watch
the deposition of Trump from I forget what year it was.
I think it was like two thousand and thirteen or something,
where he was being deposed by someone who is suing him,
and the lawyers actually had all his lies like lined up.

(09:13):
They knew what he was going to lie about, and
so they would just like get him to lie and
then be like, actually, here's proof that that's a lie.
And then just like you can see his brain like
how he lies, and it's just like constantly. He just
never stops for a moment. He'll just be like okay
and then make up another lie, like just from one
to the next. It's not amazing as well. He lies

(09:34):
so much that he's created his own reality, right, and
it's constantly shifting, so you can't get your balance right.
But but does he know if he's lying or not?
That's why that's why I don't think he cares, right,
I think it just doesn't like practically it does not
matter to him. So that's an amazing life to live.
Isn't it. Yeah, She's able to lie your way out

(09:56):
of literally any such. It's funny because I watched a
lot of kitchen nightmares shout out to Gordon Ramsey and uh,
there are a lot of like restaurant owners who have
the same sort of mentality of like, I'm not doing
anything wrong with my restaurant. All of these customers are wrong.
And you can see how that slowly like Ramsey is
able to break them down because he can just be
very blunt and be like, hey, you fucking idiot. If

(10:16):
if the restaurant was that good, where the fucking customers
so shut the funk up, and then eventually like they break,
then they just they have a moment where like right,
and I feel like, you know, I don't there's no
one there to really brutally challenge him like that where
he's gonna have to, Like I feel like everyone when
he lies are just like funk it just don't even
say you should just in Golden Ramsey to the White House.
That exactly I mean. Jim Acosta, I think is the

(10:37):
closest thing which makes him uncomfortable and that's why he
just get him out of here. Jim Acosta is no.
Gordon Ramsey also no, No, I mean he should be
fucking full full on just cursing at it. That's what
he needs. Somebody to shake the ship out of it.
But it's not going to happen. No. I think there's
this a myth out there. To jump ahead A couple
that I've noticed is that Trump has like an interior
life like another like an ordinary human being, right, But

(11:00):
he's just like a very simple, you know, machine that
is just like just generating as as much, you know,
generating the truth that is most beneficial to him at
all times. Self preservation is the name of his game. Ya.
What is something you think is underrated? Have you guys

(11:21):
ever seen Johnny Nemonic? Oh with Kiana Reeves. Yeah, y'all,
fun you have seen Johnny Neemonic. I watched it for
the first time this week, and my mind is blown
away by this terrible but brilliantly really it's so so bad.
I think it's in early nineties and Kiana Reeves can
put information in his brain. It's a little bit matrix.
It feels like it feels like he got the matrix

(11:42):
role from that data career. Yeah, so you can put
some information in his brain. And then he travels with
it and this is before USB jump drive, right, yeah,
this is before so he's like a thumb drive. They
load him up with a bunch of proprietary and vote
and they're like, okay, now go to Chinacom and download.
But it was something like pretty cool, like far out
ideas and that it was based on a book called

(12:04):
I Think Necromancer is it And there's some pretty great
predictions about like where the future was like leading but
then it was some weird like near the end, there's
Jesus comes and he fights you as Jesus fights Kiani,
and then he has to like upload all his information
in the Internet dolphin. So there's a dolphin that's made
of Internet. Uh huh. You know, he they nailed everything

(12:28):
like that. It's the kind of film that you watch
once and you're anger that got made and you're like, well,
I'm gonna want to watch it again because it's the
best thing that's ever you know. It's funny that movie
was set in the year twenty one. Wow, so we
had two years, everybody two years to invent the Internet dolphin.
Motherfucker's all right. And finally, what is a myth? What's

(12:50):
something people think it's true, you know to be false. Um,
I actually don't know, guys, I don't I don't actually
have one. You don't and I'm supposed to bring come on,
But I'm like, what is a myth? And what is
not a myth about? There's a myth I think out
there that it's always sunny in Philadelphia is no longer
on because I didn't know that the that the show

(13:11):
was out and making good episodes. But you came in
today and we're like, oh, my mind was blown by
the latest episode. It was so good, the perfect mix
of comedy and then like just out of nowhere, it
takes you to this emotional, powerful scene and it was
almost it was cinematic. It went from comedy to like
this cinematic piece. And then you see Danny Danny DeVito,

(13:33):
who's this incredible grotesque performer. By grotesque, I mean that
this sort of buffoon disused, outrageously grotesque, and then he
just come out comes out of nowhere with this. You
can see why he's a veteran. It's blown away and
you end up. I ended up crying. I just this, ah,
this piece of art. It was a piece of art.

(13:54):
To not have a single joke for about six minutes
in a comedy show and to earn it to like
really like kill it with no jokes. It was Ah,
it was amazing. So it's always funny. Still out there,
still out here doing it. You're literally rubbing your chin
about that. I guess that shows still. That's how I

(14:15):
felt about the Nathan for You series finale or a
season finale, or maybe it's not a series finale. That
was another moment where I was like, whoa, this comedy
show just like made me feel every range of emotion.
That was incredible. I watched all of them like two
months ago. I didn't I've never heard of Nathan for You.
Oh yeah, that guy Bill from the last episode. Yeah,
used to go to the supermarket I went to growing up,
and I recognized him last time I was there, I

(14:36):
saw him and got a photo. I haven't got a
little teary at the end of the Adam Similar special.
So that was a great special and wasn't fresh. Yeah
it was nice and silly, like exactly what we all
bloody need right now. Yeah, it's bloody silliness. Yeah, just
gets silly. Agreed. Alright, guys, let's talk about what came
out last weekend. This past weekend. What the world needs

(14:59):
now is third Grench movie. We we haven't had enough.
There was the lab action one Jim Carrey. There was
the classic animated one. We need another one that is
also computer animated this time I guess, uh so was
the voice Bennedict Cumberbatch. I think got it? Really? Yeah, Yeah,

(15:20):
he's in there. He's totally in Yes, Suddenly, I da
have to say. I quite like the sort of commercials
and the billboards I see around Los Angeles. They're a
bit cheeky, like this one that's like, oh, you're moving
to Los Angeles, saw you good luck with your dream
and like you really like gut to see your call.
Depending depending on where you are in Los Angeles, will

(15:41):
referenced like sort of the local area feels like, oh
where the other ones? Like is there one? It's silver
like problems, there's a few round but it's like yeah,
it'll say something to the radar like hey, welcome to
Los Angeles, Like oh, North Hollywood, you just moved here. Yeah.
The marketing was interesting and cheeky as you day. Uh,
but I made that sound natural, right, Welcome to America

(16:06):
meets England. Yeah, cheeky as you said, was their butt,
isn't it? Uh? But it seems early for Christmas movie?
And also I just don't need another Gridge movie. But
does it feel early to you guys for a Christmas movie?
You know, didn't the radio change the Christmas music on
November one? Almost? Yeah? Basically so the decorations alright already,

(16:27):
like it's yeah, it's just as I'm sick of time.
It's just every every year, Oh it's Christmas again? Is it? Call?
We just invents a new holiday every year. Super producer
Nick Stuff came in with the Mariah Carry Christmas song
stuck in his head. Uh, yeah, it's Christmas. That's like
the hedgehog or the groundhog of the Zeke when it

(16:49):
creeps up. Yeah, when the Mariah Carry all I Want
for Christmas. I mean he does hit those high notes
pretty and it is a great song. It is a
great song, That's what I said. And then we started
going I was God and this is how fucking early
where I'm like, what's your favorite Christmas? It's fucking early
November still in the UK, Rage against the Machine is
actually a Christmas song because which which one killing? In

(17:13):
the name of right, huh, Because because it was a
few years ago, like one of the winners of X
Factor or something was going to be like the number one,
you know, every time that the winner comes around Christmas
and his single always becomes always becomes number one, and
the UK just had enough of it. They were like,
all right, this, we're fucking annoyed with X Factor, and

(17:33):
so there was a campaign to get killing name of
number one, number one, and we got it. We got
it to that, and so like it was really funny
on radio they were like, and now Christmas number one.
That's a big cultural thing in the UK, right, the
what the number one song on Christmas is for some reason,

(17:57):
that's like a big deal. I mean I didn't know
if I think it was a big deal until until
they made it a big deal. And I'm like, yes,
I'm so glad that someone was like I'm sick of this, right,
I mean I just assumed it was a big deal
because of the documentary Love. Actually, if they referenced that
that being a big deal, like having the Christmas number one,

(18:18):
I mean yeah, and when I hear the words like,
you know, you justify those that died by wearing the badge.
They're the chosen Whites. Feels like a Christmas lyrics community,
you know, and some of those that work forces are
the same that burn crosses. Yeah, I mean it all
makes sense. I see, I see Jesus in the mainsoring
on it. What's your favorite my favorite? Okay, I was

(18:40):
talking about this, the Andy Williams Happy Holiday Is. I
like that one. It's so fucking corny and that one, dude,
I know all the words, uh that one. And also
I like the Paul McCartney one. For whatever reason, I
know that people don't like that song, which was widely

(19:02):
agreed upon worst Christmas or whatever. Yeah, that Wonderful Christmas Time.
I call it that one. Yeah, I don't. I don't
mind it. What do people think because it's so not
Christmas Christmas Time? I don't know. It just seems like
it's like five notes over and over again. Yeah. But
so it's Felice Navidad and that's one of my other
favorite ones. If police Navidad comes on, I could probably like,

(19:25):
in one gulp, drink a fifth of tequila. So fun time.
It just gets your police everybody's shoulders of popping up.
See it does something and it's there's still November. Guys.
Look what the funk they did to us? We don't
know what time of year it is anymore. I like
the Roundnuts Christmas song. I like the SNL Christmas song,

(19:49):
Ratio Songs Christmas. I feel like every month should have
a song, you know, December's Christmas, January should be like, hey,
can you vibes? New Years? Obviously, romantic love, March political, Yeah,
there you go, March right, April Easter, watch out that
rabbit's coming along. It's kind of steal your eggs. What

(20:12):
is that one Easter? He just made? Made that up? Yeah,
something like that. We gotta hit Baby, got hit? Hello, Hollywood?
What is the Christmas run? That song called nick you
know this? Oh, I guess it's not the run. That's
it's Darlene Love. It's called the song is called Christmas
Parentheses Baby Please Come Home Boy. And there's also that

(20:36):
George Michael song Last Christmas. That is good. What else
coming out this weekend, guys? Outlaw King, hits Netflix? Yeah,
it's Home Theater. That's the one with Chris Pine's penis. Yeah,
apparently it is. I want specifically is penis well? I remember, like, yeah,
when it is The Outlaw King. No, when it was

(20:57):
like I think at the Toronto Film Festival that's everyone
is talking about the like and then there's a movie
with crisp pines dick you can see and apparently it is.
Does it add value to the story. It is in
the genre of shame, the Michael Fassbender film because it
is an impressive penis. Well, they say, but now the
version now it's it's blurry now, so you don't get
the full on get the full dick. Also, you know,

(21:20):
it might just be a little bit of a trick
because I had to get naked on stage and stuff
before and obviously before you go on, you just like
you move it about, but let the blood flow, give
yourself a little bit more of a size before you
bit of a wink before you go set, but like
just a little fiddle before I even look in the mirror,

(21:41):
just so I feel good about myself. Just just have
some hypnotherapy confident I get it to you now if
you're feeling heavy, sleepy, Wow, yeah, I'm my dick in particular,
whatever it is. Yeah, So this is I assumed this
was one of the seven Robin Hood movies that are
in development currently in Hollywood, and it's not what is

(22:05):
it about? Even? I just I literally only noticed that
Chris Pines Dick movie. So Robert the Bruce character from
a Braveheart who like stabs Braveheart in the back. Uh?
And then all historically inaccurate. Yeah, totally uh, completely inaccurate.
But because Scotland doesn't exist, right, it's not real. Yeah,
that's what I thought. Moving on to the fictional made

(22:27):
up island, right, made up island. I'm sorry, but it's
basically the story of Robert Bruce leading Scotland's revolt against
Long Shanks. Does Chris half a British accent in it? Oh?
I don't know Scottish? Is it all American? It's like
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves with like Kevin Costner, that's

(22:49):
a great film where he held at on that one.
Am I right here with with the accent? Even do
an accent? He did for like the first couple shots. Right,
it's just like, yeah they do. Hey, what do you
want from me? Huh? And then finally, Twitter at the
end of last week was going nuts about iced tea. Uh,

(23:11):
not the beverage the man because for someone named after
a caffe eated beverage. He has never had a cup
of coffee, he has never had a bagel, and he's
never seen a two. Yeah. I don't you know. I
think most people were surprised because most people have had bagels.
But Iced t strikes me as somebody who would be like,

(23:32):
I ain't eating that shit. Like he's just not fucking
with a bagel. He likes jelly donuts. He was flapping
back on a bunch of people on Twitter who are like, oh,
you're actually eating a cinnamon raisin bagel. He's like, TV
is make believe. You're like, Okay, goddamn character. Yeah, thank
you so much. I was just trying to embody Mr
t Our Iced Tea. He's in Johnny Mnemonic. That's right,

(23:55):
because he's a pretty wild character. He's like, I live
up there in heaven and he's like he's wait, his
name is j Bone and Johnny. Interesting. Yeah, that was
interesting At the beginning of ice Tea's acting career when
people didn't necessarily know what to do with Iced Tea
in a movie because you, like they said he started
out as an action hero. There was that it was

(24:18):
like hard target, but starring iced Tea what was it, man,
there's so many surviving the game. Yes. Anyways, Iced Tea
never had a bagel despite spending a lot of time
in New York. From what I understand, Yeah, maybe it's
one of those things where he doesn't want to do
it now at this point, like he's gone too long
without having one, that he doesn't want to give anyone,
anyone the satisfaction of giving him his first bagel. Eric,

(24:40):
We we've talked about this before on the show. But
is there anything very you know, common that everybody has
done that you have not done. I don't think there's
anything that I haven't done because I'm I'm pretty much
a bitterly yes man. Oh I get pay prussures and
bullied very easily into submission. Have you seen the Jim
Carrey movie yes man, yes man? And I also read

(25:00):
it that by Danny Wallace. But yeah, I'll pretty much
do anything just to try out something is quite important.
You've got to try things out. Yeah, see if it's
your vibe, see if it's your flavor, corner, Eric May,
he's done it all, he's seen it all. Any food
you've never tried is our food you've always wanted to
try I'm French. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.

(25:25):
We'll be right back. And we're back. And so we
all felt the chill realizing that we are soon going
to be replaced by AI because late last week, trying

(25:48):
to released a video of an AI generated news anchor
who is basically indistinguishable from an actual speaking human being. Yeah,
I mean they basically took exist sting footage of an
anchor and then use that to make him a puppet
essentially like with facial expressions and everything using machine learning.

(26:08):
The voice you can tell because it's so synthesized you
thought it was. But is the body. Is the body
like a real robot android or is it it's like
a deep fake like where it's animated video like I'll
just you can see that's sort of what it looks.
It's basically it looks. It looks exactly like it looks
like a person. If you look at the mouth, you
can kind of see little sort of things here and there.
But you know, it's a machine. It's still learning and

(26:29):
this is a technology I guess they're developed. Also it's
an AI that's only the designed for journalism. I think
this is more just under like the AI is more
around presenting a human looking thing that I think you
can then just make parrot whatever quote unquote news you
needed to, because I I did. When I was in
the UK, I did a show called How to Survive
a Disaster Movie and I had to go on a

(26:50):
date um and I was presented as the AI. So
I went on a blind date with three people and
they were told, you can keep asking him questions. He'll
take a while to sir, and then he'll he'll answer right.
But that's because I had a little airpiece and whenever
they asked me question, the producer would put that question
in this AI and then feed me the answer that I.
And it was always very weird answers because the I

(27:12):
I wasn't human and I responded quite weirdly and anything
to do with emotions or whatever, you know, the the
AI was really struggling right right right, And that's the
Alan Turing test to see, you know, whether you know
ken it can it successfully in mimic us. But yeah,
but it's going to get there. Yeah right, It's it's close,
it's it's very excited. Yeah. There's a book called Life
three point oh by Max tag Mark who talks about

(27:36):
a robot himself. He could mark. He talks about how
like AI is going to you know, it could be
in It could go in so many different paths right
now and we're still sort of in control of the
path that it could take. It could it could go
very much like we're in control of it. And if
we're in control of it, is it conscious? Because if
it's conscious and we're trapping it, then is that torture?

(27:58):
Like we'd be trapping this conscious thing. If it's not conscious,
if it's just a zombie system that's AI, then that's fine.
We can use it like Series not conscious or is
she um? So it's really like weird because we don't
even know what consciousness is. So what can we do
with AI at some point? What what is it going
to be? Like? Is it going to be alive? And

(28:18):
if it is, what can we do? Siri? Are you conscious? Well?
I do journal every day? Okay, al right, off with
your cute little lines. We've we've successfully mimicked an asshole serie.
Oh the other hand, we do have the functional equivalent

(28:39):
of this with Wolf Blitzer in America because he's a
dumb person who will say anything you put into it. Yeah,
I mean, I think this whole thing is kind of
freaky though, because when you think of like China and
just sort of a country that loves censorship and loves
like obscuring actual news, like whether it's you know, people
who are you know, dissident voices or just trying to

(28:59):
you know, scure like the oppression of the like Muslim
weaker community there. You know that, I can see how
now they're like, Okay, let's just fucking completely remove this
from human beings and we can just you know, make
it a human Twitter account. But well, yeah, it's quite
scary because it depends on how it's programs. Right, If
it's still under control of the humans, then essentially it's
it's not well yeah, well I think the AI, I

(29:20):
think there's just using the machine learning to mimic human
facial expressions in a video sense. They're still feeding at
the words that it has to perform, so in that way,
it's not creating the news, but just more like, hey,
we don't even need humans anymore to to be journalists.
Pretty much, I mean pretty much every single job is
going to go to AI at some point, which is
pretty exciting because if the government's get it right and

(29:43):
give us the free time, like if there's a basic
universal income, which I think America will be lost to do.
Of course, it always feels like that, like the basic
univestal incomes already coming into like some European countries. I
think Netherlands is doing it, was denmarks, like a pilot
program or just trying and just in a very located
Well they've done it in California, they were they were

(30:03):
doing it in one town in California, and I know
in Canada they were doing it as well. I mean
there are places trying it, but I know even like yeah,
like in terms of actual like at the federal level,
they're gonna be like you get back to work slaves.
And I mean that in the capitalistic sense, not you know,
Antibell himself sense. Yeah, alright, let's talk about Matt Whittaker.
He is currently the acting Attorney General of these United States.

(30:26):
Said that, and the president, the president announced that. Yeah.
Actually wait, sorry, now, don't quote me on that. So
the President says of his appointee, I don't know Matt Whittaker.
Who's Mat Whittaker, I don't I don't know who he is.
So Yeah, even though he's been to the White House
many times. He's a person who the President has said

(30:47):
he enjoys a rapport with, or who people have said
he enjoys a rapport with. And the President just appointed
him again to lead the U. S Department of Justice.
But when people were like, yeah, but there's some reasons
to be skeptical of this, he's like, I don't know
the guy, which is this the guy that's taken over
from Sessions? Right, he's man taken over and has a

(31:10):
really hilarious background. Like he was caught up in some
scheme for some company that was doing like patent law
or whatever, like where you if you had an idea
for an invention, like this company would help you like
patent it and take it to market and everything. And
like I think they had to settle some twenty five
million dollar claim or something against the company. This guy
is just kind of an all around like weird old

(31:30):
moron kind of this administration, doesn't it. Yeah, And he
has some hot takes on the Constitution too, So I mean, yeah,
I think all of these things have come out and
a lot of people are pointing to the fact that,
like this person seems wholly unqualified, not to mention, you
completely skipped the line of succession at d O J
to you know, replace Jeff Sessions. Uh. And it's caused
like rumblings I think in the White House Politico. I

(31:52):
think it was reporting how like the White House was
just so surprised that people were like paying attention to
how little experience he had, or that he might be
a bad fit, or that this may be an illegal appointment.
But you know, such just to be expected, I think
from the White House. Yeah, what what is this going
to stop? By the way, when's When's Trump gonna just
get stopped? Because I'm getting bored of this now, we'll

(32:15):
see much. That's that's part of the danger is that
we all get bored with it and we're just like, yeah,
well we'll deal with it later. This is exhausting, and
then nobody reads about it anymore and he just rides
rough shot. Well yeah, I mean, luckily, you know, people,
I think enough people have enough at stake with this
president that everyone is being very vigilant, at least on

(32:37):
the activist level. So you know, I think the answer
is not a simple one, but I think we'll see,
you know, depending on what Robert comes up, made a
very simple come on, when this this? When is this
gonna stop? Now? I'm tired of it? Take me off
this ride now. Whenever I try and bring Matt Whittaker
to my mind's eye, uh, that character is played by

(32:59):
Michael Chickliss. Uh. They look very similar to one another. Yeah,
I in that sense, I don't know who Matt Whittaker
is either. No, No, does anyone. I don't even think
he knows. Yeah, so there is some hope. Architects of
the strategy used in the Nixon impeachment have pointed out
that the grand jury has the ability to circumvent the

(33:21):
acting Attorney General because they're basically part of the judicial branch,
and therefore, you know, the executive doesn't get to tell
them whatever their agenda is, right, mostly saying like, yeah,
if if he totally tries to kneecap the mother thing,
the grand jury can still put a report together of
what they saw, what was presented to them and show

(33:42):
that to Congress, and Matt Whittaker can't do a damn
thing about it. That's right. Possibly, possibly, I mean, you know,
the other funny thing about this, the whole thing too,
was among all of the his background and real lack
of experience, was the fact that he's so he has
so many connections to the Mother investigation, whether it's the
Sam Clovis or other things that like everyone's like, hey,

(34:02):
recuse yourself, you know, uh and and and uh. President Trump.
When they asked him about it, he gave like the
fucking dumbest response where they're like, this guy is working
with somebody who's a witness. He was like, he's piling
around with Sam Clovis, who's a witness in this This
is not a conflict of interest. And when asked about
him being refused, he couldn't really give a good answer.

(34:23):
And then other people were like, Yo, this guy's on
TV on top of everything, out loud, you know, vocalizing
that he thinks the Muller investigation is a complete sham
or whatever, like this clearly seems like a bad choice. Uh.
And this was his defense of Matt Whittaker. First of all,
when you met comments, I see everybody on television, all
these lawyers, all these law enforcement people making comments, have

(34:45):
to comments. They never asked to get recused. They make comments.
What what does that even they make comment? Is how
he ended that statement. He sounds like a beat poet.
But he so he was saying, people criticize me on
TV and they don't have to recuse themselves. So he

(35:07):
doesn't understand that he didn't just appoint everybody on TV
as the acting attorney general. Is that when I mean
to recuse, means to remove someone from a position of
judicial authority. So being a guy on TV making a
car I don't know. I guess the point he's making

(35:30):
is Okay, so he said something on TV. Therefore I
can't use anybody who said any kind of thing on TV,
which is like, well, that's not true. It's just someone
who is going to oversee an investigation that is that
needs to be seen as as an objective sort of
nonpartisan thing. You can't have that person being like, oh,
this is fucking bullshit. Wait wait do you know this

(35:51):
thing needs to end? Like that could be the problem.
And on top of that, people who have appeared on
TV are of what a half a percentage of the
you know, new worst people that could be involved in
any of these things. Or how about this, you know,
you just follow the line of succession and you have
Rod Rosenstein, right, but whatever, you know, it's because it's
so clear what he's trying to do that I guess

(36:11):
he has to rely on these like really lame arguments.
You've never commented on TV about the investigation. Milesver commented
on TV. We have commented on podcast. He doesn't know
about this, it say, you know, you're asking me about
myth earlier on Like people believe that it was an
inside job and stuff. Obviously, you know, because you will
never know. But if the government can do nine eleven

(36:33):
but still can't take Trump out, I feel like they
didn't do nine eleven. Yeah, you know, it feels like
it's would be easy to take out Trump somehow. This
has rendered most conspiracy theories about the US government mode, right, think, Well,
I guess then you say, but where's the profit motivation?
You know, nine eleven you get pretext for war, and
that fires up the war machine, the military industrial complex

(36:56):
taking if Trump isn't president or who makes the money,
then Miles is doing a voice. I don't know, man,
I've seen loose change. You've seen loose change. Check got
loose change? Listening to the Joe Rogan podcast, check got
loose change? And go back to freshman year of so
we want to talk about Tucker Carlson. He's in the
news because Antifa activists just staged a protest outside his

(37:19):
family home, which is totally fine. However, they did like
try and knock down his door and cracked the door,
according to statements, according to him, according to him, but
there are a lot of people who were there who
took photos or like, there's no damage to the door. Okay,
So that was like a thing that he put out
there as if it was you know, that was it's

(37:41):
like a coaster, like you know, accosting that woman with
his karate chop um that nearly blew her arm off,
and how you can right, we're uh, we we've talked
on the show before. I think we've even had quotes
where he's talking about how, you know, conservatives are being
assaulted his version of being assaulted as being yelled at

(38:02):
while they're out to eat. But anyways, we have long
been fans of Tucker Carlson here on The Daily Zeitgeist.
And something that we came across earlier this week that
we had to ask our writer jam McNabb to dig
into is where do we find this out The Tucker
car Wipedia, Wikipedia, Great research by the folks of Wikipedia.

(38:26):
Well done. Let us know that Tucker Carlson's mom left
the family when he was six years old to go
be like a hippie in Europe essentially France, to go
live the bohemian lifestyle of France. So he is a
comic book villain with like a villain origin story where

(38:46):
he was wronged by hippies, like his hippie dumb the
call of liberalism, like just the smell of a pie
and a cartoon, like came all the way over to
San Francisco and like pulled his mom over to France
by all those words. What I'm saying, I'm sorry, little boy,

(39:08):
I'm leaving you Francophone, you know, yeah, wish um. But
his dad was also originally a Democrat and then met
Reagan and was like, oh, this seems like it would
be more beneficial for me to be a Republican and so,
you know, transferred parties. But his dad also married a

(39:32):
heir to the Swanson throne. Yeah, the Frozen Dinner people,
big Frozen Dinner and they're big liberals. They're big liberals.
So it's basically all him just being like scream mom
My mom left to be a French, fucking hippie liberal.
My step mom is a fucking liberal, rich fuck and
I'm gonna wear bow ties, so exactly, and he's so

(39:54):
angry at them. And he has been asked about this
in interviews before. They've been like, so, I mean this
happened in your past, Like do you think this had
anything to do with the fact that you are, you know,
a monstrous hate using what supremises And he said, it's
a totally bizarre situation, which I never talked about because

(40:16):
it was actually not really part of my life at all.
His mom. That's that wasn't That was me not going
off prompter, but reading a direct quote from Tucker Carlson
talking about his mom leaving the family, not being up
to create his life, creating himself a different reality. This
is amazing. This is why, in a way, I want
to join the Republican because any time there's a problem

(40:37):
that will just say I know you are, but one
of I and just move on. And it's like, that's
not how we deal with situations. I know you are,
but what am I? But what about I know you are,
I know you're you're emotionally scarred human being. I know
you are. But what am I? Um, okay, never mind, Tucker,
But yeah, if when you break it down the quote,
the answer was a totally bizarre situation is I'm sorry,

(41:01):
how is you're describing your mother abandoning you as a
totally bizarre situation, like where you're like, oh, yeah, so weird, huh,
but doesn't matter, like that will contribute to some deep
also but his defense, Right, So my mom abandoned me
when I was fifteen, right, and so when that happens,
you don't really think about it. You just get on
with it. That's fucking weird, and you get on with it.

(41:23):
And that's why I'm doing therapy now, like loads of
little things about me dealing with my issues in the past,
but for good ten fifteen years. When people are saying, Eric,
you probably need some therapy, I was like, no, I
don't know what you're talking about. Because it happened for me.
It's normal that she had left. I was like, well,
this is my reality, like your mom didn't leave you,
and so like in a way, it's like it's not

(41:45):
even So when he says like it's a bizarre situation,
it's like, yeah, it's quite weird, Like you know, like
when she left my dad life. Also, I was homeless
for four years and people go, oh, that's weird, and
I go, wow, this is a normal limit. Yeah, no,
that makes weird. That makes me have empathy for him,
which is something he is capable of having for anyone else,
just picturing any six year old. And this is this

(42:05):
kind of goes back to our original point that we're
making about, like we don't you can kick Tucker Carlson's
door down if it's just his apartment, but you gotta
feel bad for he has four kids. They're probably terrified.
But the other side of that too, is right. He
is engaging in very fucking dangerous rhetoric that is making
people's lives miserable and some instances costing them their lives.

(42:28):
If you're a motherfucking drug dealer and you've got your
kids at your house, that's on you because you know
what the funk you're doing and the danger that you
put your family in and doing that. And not to
say that it's justified, but he has to know you're
not impervious to people being fucking upset with you because
you have four kids or whatever. And I'm not saying
that the kids, are you know, complicit in any of this.

(42:49):
But like, at the same time, he needs to also
be aware that his actions could potentially put his family
in danger from just like any other person who whether
it's a journalist on the left who has hot takes
on Trump and get sent to mail bomb. You don't
know how people are going to respond to you. But
that is a thing that we should not be in
support of the journalist getting sent to mail bomb. No, no,

(43:11):
I'm not supporting that at all, and I'm not saying that,
but I'm saying on some level, he has to understand
like these people, he doesn't know any difference. So like,
if let's say you're not shown love as a kid.
That's why I love looking at leaders that are currently
in charge, not just American ones, but British ones all
over the world. The ones are angry, the ones that
like want to funk other people's life up, And I
always look at them and why are you so angry?

(43:33):
And then I'm like, let's have a look at your parents,
and their parents seem like a bunch of assholes as well,
and then it's like that's all they know, you know,
So then like that's why I always find it amazing,
Like you look at Trump and I'm like, how much
love did you get from your parents? Probably not that,
but I can't but what do you do? And I
can't just look at him and go, well, you didn't
get love and then you keep you keep on with

(43:54):
your hate speech and keep talking all this time. It's
definitely not okay, right, But I'm saying, then, how can
you be empathetic right on a stand that he may
be damaged and that's why that's happening, while still making
it very clear that what he's saying is unacceptable is
of just a complete It goes against what the foundations
of the supposed and like American values are, you know
what where how do you split that difference? Because it

(44:15):
can't just be we'll leave him alone while he doesn't
broadcast all this ship because direct action, I feel is
very important. I definitely don't think we should leave Tucker
Carlson alone. If anything, I think we should let him
know that we know this is all about his mom
and that he just needs a hug. But when it
comes to his kids, I'm just saying, look what happened
when we got one child who was you know, wronged

(44:41):
by liberals. They grew up to be fucking Tucker Carlson.
Think about the future generation, what happens to what happens.
You know, kids who were coming up here from El Salvador,
Guatemala who gets split from their parents are in the
cage terrible, So what you know what I mean? But
that's why I'm saying, where where does the empathy go? Yeah,
that's definitely because he clearly had is no fucking empathy.

(45:01):
And that's where I get like really upset by the
whole thing is because on one hand, I understand as
a human like non violence, believe in these kinds of situations,
but I also believe in direct action, and I believe
in letting people know when they've crossed the line. And
now we're trying to figure out, like, how do we
let this person know this ship he's saying is dangerous

(45:21):
and fucked up. But also obviously you're not trying to
you know, Scar his children, Presidents getting away with it.
So in a way, it's like, why why should we
teach these people a lesson when the president is not
even doing it, like genuinely, for example, I still haven't
paid my tax right here, right and there's an element
of me that's like, well, if your president is not
going to pay it, I'm hardly legal in this country.

(45:43):
Why would I pay tax if apparently your president is
not doing it right, especially when the money might be
going to locking up kids in cages. Right, I just
hope my money is not going to that, But like
in the way I see it's going to. So it's
it's annoying when your president is doing ship and I
don't give a ship about because you're literally your leaders
doing it well, I think, but they're also we have

(46:05):
a government that has too many report it's so stacked
in the Republican side that there is no there's no
mechanism to check him. So that's the problem there. If
we had, if there are more Democrats in seeds of power,
like in terms of Congress and things like that, we'll
see what they do with the House. But when you
have no one to check him and you only have
enablers in his party, then yeah, we get this thing.

(46:27):
But also, fear is so much easier to use than
fucking love. No one wants to choose love. Oh can
I be loved? In my lovable? Most people look at
their like the ship things about them right, and so
Republicans are actually pretty fucking smart. They making everyone's stupid
and scared and then we can control you. We are
the puppits. Like I'm just full of anger. It's so

(46:48):
hard to do like a proper political podcast without just
going this is well, yeah, because I think everyone everyone
has their own ideologies and they're right now. We're in
a position, as people who are progressive to look at
what's going on and this is literally this goes against
every single thing that I believe in. And yeah, there's
no way to be calm about that. And I don't know.

(47:08):
I I also like and this is like selfish and
not the most important thing, but I like being on
the side that isn't doing shitty things to people, where
like where that I like being on the side that's
not mail bombing people and then not fucking churches and
shooting them up. But at what point do we just go, oh, well,

(47:30):
I really like being on that side. Like, I agree,
I'm on that side. At some point, I'm like, you
see the other side just slowly gaining ground because they're
being assholes. At what point do we just take arms
and go, you know what, we used to fucking kill Nazis,
like that's I'm genuinely we used to literally kill Nazis.
It feels like now the World War two is actually

(47:50):
not finished. I thought was finished, but not what it was.
It's moved to your fucking territory in the right. It's insane.
Do you know that in Germany they're not using they
can't use the swastika anymore, so they're using the Confederate
flag as they're simple like Nazi Nazis Nazis in Germany
and now using the Confederate flag as a symbol to like, hey,
just you know, we really fucking hate jere like, but

(48:12):
we also respect rules. So that seems a little out
of nat like, hey, man, don't do use swash we
use a Confederate flag. But yeah, but at what point
that's why I antifa, like I I don't they should
not use violence. You should never use violence. You really
should not use violence. But at some point, if the
Nazis being a asshole punching Ryan, it did, Yeah, yeah, no,

(48:33):
I've this is yeah, yeah, I think it's basically academic
at this point because I think we all agree. But
at what point, genuinely, at what point will you raise
arms at at what point will you just go, you
know what, this is enough? Like I'm I'm breaking to
that point where like the kids and cages got me going,
I don't even want to live in this country anymore.
It's pretty fucking wild. Not that brexits any fucking better,

(48:55):
but like we're not locking cages up. Yeah, yeah, no
it is. It is better because you're not liking kids.
So at what point, what's gonna what's gonna trigger you?
I thought that there's been justified us as of violence,
Uh up to this point. I just don't think going
to somebody's home when their kids might be there. I
think I think we can still have a path where

(49:18):
we you can still find these people in space, in
public space and let them know constantly how fucking wrong
they are, and they will, you know. I think that's
one version of this because you're seeing the reaction of them.
But doesn't psychologically you telling someone that they're wrong, doesn't
that push them even further back. I've read some article
about how telling someone making them makes more entrenched in

(49:39):
their beliefs. Yeah, it doesn't make them go Okay, let
me hear your thoughts out that they are so annoyed
that you're telling them that they're wrong, that they'll go, well,
fuck you then, and then they create this sort of
reality barrier where then they just they're they're so right
that you're wrong, right, and your presence reinforces them being
right because they're like and there's that person that confirms him.

(50:00):
But it's I don't think anyone's thinks that Tucker Carlson
is going to come around at this point. I think
you know something we're talking about earlier when we're talking
about his career, because he started as sort of a
centrist journalist who his former editors like speak wistfully about
what a great writer he was. But he and basically
everybody on the right has had the unfortunate experience of

(50:23):
every time they become a shittier person with less empathy,
their career gets better. So they've just been like Pavlov dogs,
trained to be shitty people, and so they're not coming
back from that. But it is I think I think
it's perfectly fine and probably commendable to make their lives
as shitty as possible. Uh yeah, well, I think it's

(50:45):
it's signals to other people who might even be tempted
by that to go Oh, I don't know if I
want all that smoke, you know what I mean. I
think that's where you have to that's where the guardrails are.
It's like, well, if you talk like this, chances are
you might lose your job if you're a racist and
you get put on blast on Twitter or whatever. You've
seen that time and again, and I think that's people
have to realize that there are there are boundaries that
we're trying to create. I don't know if I think

(51:07):
what sadly, why what might happen is there will be
some kind of weird, kind of violent clash between the
left and the right that really will people are gonna
be like, oh shit, like what Okay, maybe we're gonna
have to rethink what the dialogue is here. But I
don't know if that will happen with this president because
every at every instance he has to try and unify
the country or healet he just wants to fucking throw

(51:28):
the fork in the road even harder. And you know
one thing that's amazing, Like we still talk about Genghis
Kam thousands of years later because of how much of
a prick he was, but we still talk about Hitler.
It was not that long ago, right for eighty years ago,
but we still talk about him because of how much
of a prick he is. Right, Historically, it's a lot
easier to keep your name alive right by being a
fucking asshole, and Trump loves his name. He loves it.

(51:52):
Being a genuinely good guy kind of gets you nowhere, right,
It's really nice people remember you. Your funeral will be
a lot more impressive, right, like because people will come
because they want to, rather than being forced to by
the power militaries and stuff. But like that's it feels
like now he's like, I'm going to die very soon,
and let's just fucking go out with a bad There's

(52:13):
no way he believes he's ever gonna die. But uh,
the doctor comes in and go the diagnosis is really break,
Mr President. I think historically that has something to do
with just our fascination with villains, But I think when
it comes to people like Tucker Carlson and whatever the
fund Sean Hannity, it's more that it's so much easier

(52:35):
to make it on the right because there's just not
much talent there, so there's no competition reality TV, and
once you go to that side, you can't come back. Yeah.
Oh wait. One thing though, what we did find, like
that Jam found in the course of this was talking
about how Tucker Carlson really fancies himself a ladies man. Yeah,
there's a moment he was being interviewed by Gavin mckinnis.

(52:57):
But there's this thing where they talk about how concerned pervatives.
You know, people think conservatives just like, don't fuck and
they just marry their high school sweetheart and listen to
this fucking baller response. Fucker Carlson gives how many women
have you had sex within your life? A lot? Because
you went what it was a short window, but I
packed it carpet bomb. Ye was a d C. It

(53:21):
was more like a Yeah, it really was. It was
like a neutron bomb. Yeah, that's a guy who's I said,
if I hate that. I see that scene in American Pie,
you know, and I'm like, oh, when a guy gives
you a number just divided by three, right, it feels
like that, but with him maybe just divided a few times,
but divided by the number he said to get one

(53:45):
U more more like a new tron bomb, you know,
the metaphor that everybody uses with regards to sex a
neutron bomb. Wow, here's a guy who's at peace with reality. Yeah. Again,
it's it's he's a very complex person, and we're not complex.
I mean, it's he seems like to have some damage

(54:07):
in his life. But again, his fucking rhetoric is it's
gone worse and worse and more and more grotesque and
violent over the years. Because also the longer you keep
up this weird ruse in, this weird line that you've
created for yourself, the more you're like, like, like, it
feels like people are bad at poker. You know that
they'd rather go all in than go I've just lost

(54:28):
this round. I can make a new game of poker here,
I can get a new set of cards. Let's do it.
But most people are like, no, I'm all in. I've
made a mistake and I know that I'm about to lose,
but I'm gonna bluff this, bluff my way out. That's
what I feel like people are doing. Alright, not a
good game to play. Well, it's we're gonna keep talking
about Tucker Carlson because after the break, we're going to
talk about people's sexiest men. So more Tucker Carlson right

(54:53):
when we get back and we're back and people have
released their Sexiest Man Alive issue, it is IRUs Elba,

(55:13):
which everybody knew that already. Yeah, every everybody was. Well.
I was a little disappointed by his tattoos. What are
his tattoos? They're like nonsense, I don't know. I couldn't
really understand what they were. It was like a lot
of scribble. Yeah, he gentlemen, if you have to choose,
you know, a man to have full colotus with, yeah,
who would it be? Probably Adrus Elba? Right? For really,

(55:34):
you just would up with food after God, I like
to eat after a fuck. So and I know he
is gonna put someone's garlic and butter and whatever it
is to be part of the love making. I don't care.
But yeah, this in this magazine, Yeah, it would be
some guy fear for me? What about you? Eric? Oh well,
as soon as you mentioned the food thing, I was like, man,

(55:55):
that's that's front of bloody wrenching my pipe because that
has a great point. Yeah, get a little bit of
a breakfast off, maybe Golden Ramsey. Oh, this talk has
too many forehead wrinkles for me, you know what I mean?
Use them that you can use them as flaps. Yeah something.
Guy Fiery looks smooth. Guy Fire looks smooth. Honestly, for
some reason, I don't think he smells. I think he

(56:17):
smells good, like a ton of axe body spray. Yeah,
so he's not gonna be a stinky, gross dude like
a ton of ax body spray. Yeah. You don't have
the best smell in the world anyway. So the list
is pretty interesting. I know it had some people divided
into office. Sophie was wildly upset. Uh you know, she

(56:38):
puts some big axes over faces. But I was, these
are some good looking dudes. We have cut the eyes
out of their faces. Yeah, it looks like a weird
that's too much book move, but I guess. Okay, so
let's go from the oldest. So from the oldest Kyle McLaughlin.
Oh okay, who else? Forest Whittakers up there? She said
that was a dud. I'm like, yeah, left Forest Rock

(56:59):
he's doing okay. Also, like so clearly, like these choices
are not just based on like how hot they are
publicists like doing this year, like you know what they're
up to, and like yeah you know. And also it's
just an overall like vibe thing right, it's all vibes.
You know. Jeffrey right, Okay, I like Jeffrey right in there.
Uh oh, you don't think jeff he just seems like

(57:20):
tightly wound, like he's deep, you know, such a good character. Yeah, no, no, Uh.
There's Anderson Cooper, will Smith, Matt McConaughey, Matt Damon, Boris Kjoe.
I don't know what the funk he did. He has
not been that relevant. He does a lot of good
h you know, a Boris Kodjoe like skin assassin. Huh.
He's married to Nicole Murphy, you know. I know they

(57:40):
do a lot of charity work than Jimmy Fallon. I
was like, I'm already more retracted. Yeah, you just said
Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon is on it. I don't know
if he's sexy. I don't know what they're doing. I
don't know exactly what that means. Curtis Jackson fifty cent?
Why is fifty cent on here? I don't know. You know,
Alex stars Guard Okay, My livent to Miglia Okay, Adam

(58:04):
Levine so fine, Rommy Malick shout out to Notre Dame
High school, Harry Shum Jr. Mnish dial I don't know
are basically this is not already the sexiest man of life.
It's like people who are who's around, who's whose names
are in the media. Harry Shum Jr. Is from Crazy
Rich Change, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea yea yeah. And

(58:26):
who was on the young end? Tom Holland, Jaden Smith,
Gregor Dimitrov. Don't know him dev but tells only twenty eight. Damn,
I gotta get younger or a better publicist. Jack? How
the fund are? How are we all not on here?
I know? I mean, okay, I get it, Yeah, not
on there? But neither of us Come on, guys, Yeah,

(58:48):
what's going on here? It's not Adam Okay, I feel
that one. But yeah, there's uh you know again, if
you've got a good representation and you've been a couple
of movies, it seems like you can get on that list.
Another thing that I just wanted to point out was
this one is about Megan and Harry, because again, Jesus Christ,
why are you obsessed with this? Because she's our lady

(59:11):
and they're going to move to the country, said of
quiet life in the country, chores American holidays and no spoiling,
and I like if she's just she's just basically saying like, look,
they're not gonna live like Williams kids. They're gonna be
out here sweeping and doing all kinds of ship. I'll
put my hands on it if I have to move
into the country like the English countryside. Last week they
were telling us that they were moving to California, United Statement,

(59:35):
and I was about to be homies with Harry. It's
gonna happen, don't worry. Live in both. It feels like
they have money enough, like live in a few places
pretty soon. My goal is I'm going to be on
one of these covers and they're like, is Miles destroying
Harry and Megan's like marriage? Right? But then it will
be all about how you and Harry are going out? Yeah, sure,
whatever And to stumble Bums leave the ivy again drunk

(59:56):
as fuck? Is he a bad influence? Yes? Uh? Anything
else going on in the world, oh uh. In j fourteen,
we always, you know, we like to look at the
younger stuff now to know what they're they're telling the
youth them. And there is a couple of interesting things.
There's like last time we looked in here, they had
this section called the Guy Guide, where it says the

(01:00:17):
cutest guys in Hollywood share how boys really think. And
some of these it's just so funny because this is
not how teen boys think. Like these are measured responses
that I think a publicist approved. So when they ask, uh,
Brandon Ariaga, you know what's an ideal date? Uh, my
best date would be taking blankets and snacks to the beach. Okay,

(01:00:38):
really don't hang out with him if he's not saying
y'all got a fake I D or like I know
this one liquor store on Van Eye's that will sell
to us without the I D shout out to us.
This is in no way informed by there was that
liquor store man and Van Eys. Wow, you could go
in there with fucking library card and they would give

(01:00:59):
you a forty two eight year old. But his whole
thing was he wouldn't sell you liquor. You could buy
beer at a shop, he just would not sell you spirits.
And that's that. But ye, other than that, and I
think the biggest news really was that. And I think
how they're saying Jamie Fox and Katie Holmes they're finally
getting married, I guess because she's wearing a wedding ring.

(01:01:19):
But they're saying she was in a movie. But it's
not a prop because the photo was taken when she
wasn't on set or shooting that day. But how does
Tom Cruise feel about it? Apparently they say Jamie got
Tom's permission first. I don't believe that, and I didn't
want to read too much into it to even find
out if that was. So they might be friends. I
think the class roll together. They did, Yeah, and I
think that was a big stab in the old back

(01:01:40):
for him. M hm. You know it's tough out here
to be a celebrity and hot. It's tough for Tom Cruise,
I know, while we're out here wasting away outside of
the top Hottest Men on Earth list. Well, welcome to
the club, Tom. H it's rough out here, bro Eric, Yes,
in a pleasure having a man. Where can people thanks

(01:02:02):
for having me? I'm sorry, I was on Benadrill this
whole time. Up, I didn't think so, I didn't realize
I was on Bedadrill until I arrive. Yeah, I'm where
can people find you? Just the old socials? I've obviously
got an album out which is pretty exciting. Alien of
extraordinary Ability and it's on iTunes and Spotify. You go.

the Alien of extraordina Ability. That's cool, man. And is

lot easier to like, presh share, and tag people in it,

each other about things that I know. Yeah, oh yeah,
