(02:53):
This is a high point in my life. I think
everyone who comes on this show goes on to make
you know, Unicorn apps, you know person they're going to marry.
I'm here for both of those. Ye here, you're in
that game. Huh. I am in the app game. I
am the founder of Spendwell. Um, we're making an app
that makes it easy for people to donate money to charity.
It's fantastic. Thank you. That sounds worthwhile. Yeah, cool, that's

(03:16):
like a good thing. Yeah, it's not like, yeah, we
make it easy to like rent people's living rooms to
smoke weed in, right, which is I feel like you
know everyone everything's rentable now, right, And this is actually
connecting people with charity. Yeah, what's like, what's the problem
with charitable giving? That sort of your addressing. Well, you're
gonna hear more about this in my myth Yeah that

(03:40):
cook organically. Yeah, alright, Like we're going to get to
know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna talk about that. Look at this photograph meme,
the nickel back meme that the president used and misused apparently. Yeah, right, strike,
and we're gonna just blow the whistle and general Uh,

(04:02):
I'm gonna look at all the ways the president is
making money off of the impeachment controversy. Uh. And we're
gonna ask the question, what else is in that secret
vault server? Thank you? We're gonna check in with the Joker,
checking with the People's Republic of China. Look at Halloween
candy as Halloween, it's Halloween candy buying season. Yeah, there's

(04:26):
a report on the takeout that you could get ninety
air heads for seven dollars that I I would take
that deal, and I would sadly, I could probably eat
thirty in one sitting. Yeah. Uh. And then we're gonna
talk about San Francisco rents and restaurants and plenty more.
But first, Leah, what is something from your search history

(04:47):
that's revealing about who you are? This morning, I was
waiting for a plane I don't like flying, and I
searched corgy puppies in halloween costumes. Okay, everything was better? Everything?
What was a good like? I think dog costumes always
look good. Is there one that actually suited a corgy

(05:07):
specifically that you're like, only a cory you can put
this one on. Yeah. So there's this like genetic mutation
of corgies that have really fluffy fur. And there was
a fluffy corgy wearing a lion's mane, and it was
the cutest thing I've ever seen. That was exactly my description.
Isn't enough to get my heart fluttering? Yeah? It was.
You know, you can't be stressed when you're looking at

(05:28):
a puppy, fluffy corny unless you're one of these people
who like doesn't like dogs, because there are people who
are like, you know, honestly like that. I've been around
people who, you know, like videos go virally like who's
the one like the dog and like the cat or
blah blah blah, Like this does nothing for me, Right,
I don't know what's going on with those people. I
worry about that. Yeah, you need loving your heart, Yeah

(05:50):
that's what I say. That's what I would diagnose heart
without love. Yeah, I think I think that's right, Okay, fantastic.
I think, uh, those lion costumes are cruel? Oh why
is that? Because I have to because not My dog
just hated it when I put it on him. Was
the one that's like the shaking his head. It's just

(06:11):
like a hood. Yeah. This was more of like a necklace,
like a neck muffler. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's kind of
what it was. He's just very he doesn't like Yeah,
he probably is a different spirit animal that he was
wishing you wuld dress him at us. That's probably King
Charles ye have said, I think very regal at of
spirit animal is a British king. Um spirit match. Spirit

(06:36):
animals are problematic, right, his whatever, he is possessed by
the spirit of a British king. Oh fantastic, you should
address him. Yeah, what is something you think is overrated? Okay?
Anthony on a Queer Eye. He's the food guy, have

(06:56):
strong opinions. He's on a book tour right now, so
he's like back in the news even though there's not
a new season coming out or whatever. He's supposed to
be the food guy, right. I watched an episode last
week where he was like, I think you should make
rotisserie chicken, and he drove the guy to Safe Way
and they bought a rotistory chicken. Okay, wait, he's supposed

(07:16):
to be teaching them to cut. Yeah, he's supposed to
be teaching them how to cut. And he's like, go
to Safeway and buy a rotistory chicken and then serve
rotistory chicken. That's fine. I'm just going to say it
should have been Costco because the best that is something
that is also another yep, yep. He could have gone
anywhere else. But that's so odd, right, because normally they're
trying to give people skills to benefit themselves. Do you

(07:40):
think he just thought this subject would can't even with you? Yeah,
it was just sort of like you're a mess, and
you know the best you can do is just drive
somewhere and buy something. But he does that for everyone
does like that's just one of so many examples, like
a lot of short cuts. There was one where he
was like, it's a Christini. It was a piece of toast.
Like you cut a piece of bread and put it
in the toaster. That's not really like revolutionary cooking. I'm

(08:01):
sure if you serve that to him, he would read
you fulfilth really CVS rochestery chickens, that's how we're doing. Yeah,
And and everyone gets upset about him because he put
like sour cream or yogurt and guacamole once and everyone
was like, you don't do that, blah blah blah. But
at least he was cooking when right, right, right, like
combining just whatever is ready made at the store, right,

(08:23):
Like I would literally expect him to be like, here's
how you make guacamole, drive to Chipotle, right right. That
is at least a realistic like I I will never
remember any recipe that I see on TV, but I
will remember where to buy where to buy a thing. Yeah,
so maybe he's really going after an audience like yeah,

(08:45):
just like the completely hopeless uncooking uncookable dum. Okay, all right,
you've been read Anthony. What is something you think is underrated?
Continuing on the food theme, good food at airports. Oh,
there is nothing better than being like, oh, I have

(09:06):
to eat in it an airport. It's going to be
like it's happened at breakfast this morning. It's going to
be like a gross yogurt parfe with that gross candied
fruit or whatever. And then I found a place that
had gluten free everything, bagels toasted with cream cheese, and
airport where you fly out. Yeah, um, and my day
turned around, and it was just such a pleasant surprise. Yeah,

(09:28):
because you already do you either resign yourself to the
fact that I will eat trash or I will eat
over priced trash. Well, it's trash either way, and it's
overpriced either way. Yeah, and it was over priced good food,
but it was good food. At least it's good, right.
Usually it's like, well, I guess I can eat a
fourteen hour old baguette sandwich for nine I like. Um.

(09:50):
The whenever I fly through Houston, I always eat at
Papa Dough in the terminal. There's just I will sit
down for a meal there every time. Oh. It's part
of a larger change, like a family of restaurants, but
this one is more like Cajun Southern food oriented. Um,
and it's delicious. They have this thing called punch of

(10:10):
Train sauce and then it comes on other things. Just
if you're at the Houston airport, give Papado a try.
And I actually should at one point get out of
the Houston Airport and maybe experience Houston itself. You just
stay there the whole time you're in Houston. Just vacations,
stay in the airport, do a little bit of a
terminal type vibe in there. People just think that you're
like sleeping on the benches because you have a flight

(10:31):
coming up. I'm there for the um. And finally, what
does a myth? What's something people think is true you
know to be false, that you have to be rich
to donate money to charity go on. So there's this idea,
and it's kind of the outdated model of philanthropy where
you know, you write a huge check at the end

(10:51):
of the year, and you do it for tax benefits,
and you know you have to kind of accumulate all
of this wealth before you can give it away. First
of all, trum tax change has made it so that
you can't really write off donations to charity anyway, so
that's out the window. But the other piece is that
a huge part of donating money to charity is getting
in the habit of looking at what you have and

(11:12):
sharing it with others in a way that you can.
So you don't have to be Bill and Melinda Gates
and donate millions of dollars to charity. You can say like, hey,
this is a cause I'm going to really care about
that I really care about. I'm going to donate you know,
five dollars a month that maybe isn't going to change
the world. But then I'm going to tell all my
friends that I'm donating five dollars a month to this cause,
and then they're going to donate to the causes they

(11:34):
care about, and that you know, continues rolling and then
all of a sudden, if everyone donates five dollars a month,
I'm not going to do the math in my head,
but it's probably up there with Bill and Melinda Gates. Yeah, yeah.
And then the other piece of it is like getting
in the habit right, So if you wait your whole
life to donate in like a you know, when I die,

(11:54):
I give everything I own into a charity, then you're
not really in the habit of donating. You don't really
know know like what causes do I care most about?
Where does my money go when I dontate to charity?
So getting in the habit as you're starting to think
about building up your savings account or starting to invest
in stocks, like the third arm of that should be

(12:15):
adding you know, philanthropy into the mix. Absolutely. I think
I'm definitely before I was like in the mode of
being able to find causes to give to. I had
this very outdated idea of well, what's what's ten I
can't give just ten bucks, right, I just can't give
this or whatever, Like I want to be able to
give like a hundred bucks, So I'll wait, put someone
together and then do that versus like, yeah, I it's

(12:36):
like the same way you could just be like you
got a couple of bucks for some coffee whatever. You
can also just you know, send a few dollars out
of a time and you're still actually contributing in a
way that is meaningful. But I think we have this
sort of weird idea that you know, someone giving a
million dollar donation. If you're not doing that, then it's
not worth it, right right. And we're seeing two people
really want to give, Like especially in the Crazy twenty

(12:57):
for our news cycle, people are reacting to things and
wanting to give. And one piece that's really interesting is
Facebook came out. Um I have a few weeks ago,
and I have I have a lot of issues with
how Facebook runs their fundraisers that I won't get into,
but um, Facebook fundraisers has raised a total of two
billion dollars and one billion of that that's a billion
with a b one billion of that is from birthday fundraisers,

(13:19):
and like, I've donated to birthday fundraisers and it is
rarely more than ten dollars. Like it's really like, oh,
I like this person, this cause seems legit, Like here's
ten bucks and that adds up to a ton. Yeah.
So what we're doing is instead of the Facebook model
where you just like randomly say I'm going to donate
ten dollars or whatever, and it's based on how you

(13:40):
feel or you know, how whether you got paid that day,
what we're doing is we're saying, every time you swipe
your credit card, we're gonna round up your transactions, put
all that spare change into a donation pool. You get
to say where it goes. You can pick any any
nonprofit in the country, So it can be like the
food bank in the tiny town you grew up in,
or it could be like races or something totally donate

(14:02):
to the stuff that's going on the border, right. Yeah,
So it's any registered nonprofit in the country. Donate all
your spare change. Every week we've processed a donation, and
we're building in ways that you can share fundraisers with
your friends and you can start communicating with the nonprofits
helping the causes you care about, and it ties into
your credit card. Yeah. Yeah, so it's all super secure.

(14:23):
There's like third party a p I fancy stuff that
that makes it so that we never see your credit
card number. There's no way that I could say, like, oh,
I'm just gonna go spend money on your credit card.
Le look at our user database. Yeah, yeah, it's not
not doable at all. Um, super secure. It's the same
technology that a lot of like the really big financial
apps use, right right, right, that's really cool. Well I think, yeah,

(14:44):
and that's such an easy way to or you're not
even have to be very conscious or like we're just
gonna round up or whatever. So yeah, all those little
rounding up will add up. That's exactly right. Yeah. That
used to be like tip jar money that people would
give back when cash was a thing before we got Yeah, yeah,
made it hard for me. I mean, we don't have

(15:04):
credit cards too. I don't know where all the change
that I ever had growing up went. But like I
think at a certain point I became responsible enough to
start saving it up and go to a coin star.
But for most of my life I think that was
just like donations to people's couches, Like it just ended
up in people's couches. I haven't made it to the

(15:24):
coin star part of adulthood yet. I still have like
a jar in my apartment. There you go, Well, there
you go. I mean that's it. The jar is the
is the responsible thing. Oh yeah, and if you start
dividing it, right, my mom got me in that habit
as a kid where I was like, here's my quarter jar,
my nickel jar, quarterman man. I when I filled that
motherfucker up, I was like, we're going, we're making it

(15:46):
a blockbuster night, right. Uh all right, Well, let's talk
about someone who likes to give back, and that's someone
is the president of these United States. Uh. Donald Trump
loves to get back to himself. Um. And So a

(16:09):
big story that I saw all over the place on
the right was that there was this photograph of Biden,
his son, and two Ukrainian gas executives on a golf
course and they were like, oh, we thought you, we
thought you weren't a Well there was one guy. There's

(16:31):
one guy who just sadly doesn't even get a label.
Started labeling both of them versions that were both Ukrainian gas. Well,
according to the the if we're going by canon, uh
the man go back meme when he we looked at
that photograph as he asked us to Yeah, that guy,

(16:51):
it turns out is not Ukrainian. He's American um and
gas exact might be a bit of a stretch um
because that guy is named Devin Archer and he is
yea notorious Ukrainian oligarch, Devin Archer Um. And you know
he used to like he's like business buddies with Hunter Biden,
like from all kinds of ship. So like that's like

(17:13):
a photo of like them just golfing rather than you know,
trying to mislead people to being like this is what
they do. You know how these people move They close
deals on golf courses and that's the illumin that's where
the illuminati really leave lives between these links. And you know,
the things that Archer is that he was part of
the Bersima Company's board, like along with Hunter Biden but

(17:33):
deer but like to say he was a gas executive
is definitely misleakal like he hasn't really nothing much to
do with like the day to day operations and the
fact that neither of them probably have much background in
you know, Ukrainian gas companies or you know, managing Ukrainian
energy markets. Uh, part of what's sleazy about the whole thing.

(17:54):
It's but it's just nepotism and it's not great, and
it's the system that you know, we're trying to have overthrown,
which is why we don't want Joe Biden to win
the nomination necessarily. But it's it's also not the thing
that Trump is trying to make it out to be. Yeah, well,

(18:16):
you know it's also coming from the King of nepotism, right. Yeah,
We're gonna talk talk about that a little bit. I mean,
he is being We're gonna we have a couple of
stories later, both about like the fact that Trump and
first of all, Trump himself like inherited millions of dollars
by the time he was five, but also his kids
are doing like way more corrupt ship that that is

(18:39):
probably technically illegal when it comes to, you know, profiting
off of the presidency of the United States. But he's
just spending a ton of money on you know, Facebook
campaigns and just getting the message out that you know,
just going on the counter offensive. And because he has

(19:00):
way more money to spend and is way more aggressive
about spending it on Facebook, and for some reason, is
better at Facebook than democrats. I think I think it's
kind of gaining traction this idea. Like I guarantee if
you asked most people two months from now, like in
the middle of the country, like about the Ukraine thing,

(19:24):
they would be like, well, there was that photograph with
you know, maybe I think that's gonna I mean, if
if the I mean ship again, look, more shit even
came out and it's only making things worse. So I'm yeah,
maybe there will be a dip if like this sort
of enthusiasm begins to sort of falter a little bit.
But I don't know. I'm I kind of like most

(19:46):
people are hoping that maybe this is something logical enough
and clear enough for people to just be like, huh huh,
maybe maybe this is bad. Yeah, alright, we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back. Yeah, and we're back,

(20:09):
and it's time to blow the whistle. Whistle blower saga
fucking continuous, but I think it ended right. I mean,
these texts should seal it. Yeah, I mean, god, the
even more damning fucking evidence comes out. Uh. You know,
at the end of last week, Kurt Volker, who was

(20:29):
the special Envoid of Ukraine, testified in front of the
in front of Congress UH to talk about what was
going on between the State Department and Ukraine and Rudy
Giuliani and everyone's hand in that. And this the one
of the biggest things that he handed over, these text
messages that were between him, UM and this other person
who is the ambassador to the EU and Rudy Giuliani,

(20:53):
and essentially it completely nullifies their defense that there was
no quid pro quo, Like it's very clear through these
text messages what the fucking deal was, and it was essentially,
you will not get any aid or a visit to
the White House to fort of sort of visually strengthen
our ties UH and our alliance unless Ukraine publicly announces

(21:15):
an investigation into the election so they can have a
you know, counter mular report type thing and into Bursima,
which is the whole Biden's son deal. And like the
texhol quid pro quote like that was their defense, like, well,
he didn't explicitly say this Biden thing, I will give
you aid if you do like it. Wasn't made that

(21:37):
explicit in the memo that is like supposed to be
a transcript of that call, and so they were like, yeah,
it's we're good. Then well, this text from Kurt Volker
to Zelinski's like top aid right before you know, the
call that everything is centered around, so preparing him for
this phone call. Um, this envoid Ukraine from the US

(21:59):
government says, this is the this is the text he
sends to President Zelenski's aid quote heard from White House.
Assuming President z convinces Trump he will investigate slash and
then he uses like h quotes quote get to the
bottom of what happened in end quote, we will nail
down a date for a visit to Washington, so access

(22:20):
to the president in exchange for politically expedient research. Yeah.
I mean, the way it's even like put in quotes
in the text just shows you what the funk they're talking,
Like this whole idea of like because there was a
lot of back and forth or they're like, we're not
really sure if we want to do this. There was
an aid to Zelenski even pushed back to this envoy
to the EU and Volker basically saying like Zelenski is

(22:43):
very concerned that he's just going to be an instrument
of a political fight in the US and doesn't want
to be used in that, Like he's just not interested
in that. And they were pushing back like, well, you know,
we gott established these relationships and then we'll figure it out.
Like it was very much not even close to remotely
understand like how conflicted and awful this could be. Yeah,

(23:04):
and I mean they specifically wrote a statement for them
to make that was, we will, uh, we intend to
initiate and complete a transparent and unbiased investigation of all
available facts and episodes, including those involving Barisma and the
two thousand and sixteen U S elections. Like they said
that that had to specifically be in their statement in

(23:27):
order for them to get the access that they were seeking.
So it's I mean, so they're they're specifically bringing up
the Biden thing. Well yeah, well, at first, the Ukrainia, uh,
the Ukrainian officials are saying, can we just give a
statement that says we're committed to investigating corruption and weeding
out corruption in the government, and like Giuliani too, even

(23:50):
those guys from the state problems like absolutely not like
they need to specifically, let me put my hand all
the way up your ass and puppet you so that
you're saying, actually, what I need you to Sahi read
this text out loud on TV now to go, and
then you can get your defense weapons to fight Russia.
I believe that's a hostage video, is what that's they're
technically looking. But I mean this is now also part

(24:12):
of like why um Trump is just even out there
in the open just saying like, well, yeah, I have
to look into corruption. Right, So every day it's like
it's like this really shitty thing for him, you know,
poor Trump, where he's assuming that the press or the
general public won't learn another damning details. So the plan

(24:33):
he has right now is fine according to the reality
of the situation as it happens, and then a new
detail comes out and then he has to further change
his position. So now it's just gonna be like, yeah,
it's I'm looking into corruption. I think it's important for
the president. He's like I made up this corruption and
now I'm going to go look into it. Yeah. Right,
It's like, which is crazy, you know, I I gotta
look into it though, you know, I'd be completely remiss

(24:54):
if I were not to. But I mean I read
so I read the transcript of what Rush Limbaugh is
saying on his show right now, and he's just totally
buying everything and being like, this is why you gotta
love Trump. He totally doubles down, and it's like, you know,
you the mainstream media don't want to believe or like
won't report on the corruption around by it, and so

(25:17):
I have to report it directly to the TV cameras
and like, I'm pure as the driven snow because I
made all my own money and but these people are all,
you know, making their children billionaires by or millionaires by
you know, doing corrupt dealings like this. Like that's the
that's how it's being taken elsewhere in the country. Well,

(25:40):
that's the only way to defend against this. Again, if
you're committed a crime and you're trying to say you're innocent,
if you're the first thing out of your mouth is
well what about this thing? That's not a defense, that's
you're just trying to distract people from your own wrongdoing
and saying like, well, I mean, I guess it's normal
because what about this guy? So, yeah, are we sure

(26:01):
we're calling those crimes. So meanwhile, Ukraine like is kind
of in a weird no man's land because they're like, wait,
so we do need to investigate them though, because like
we still want the weapons, like we still want the
access to the levers of power. Well they I mean,
well the aid has already been you know, signed off

(26:22):
on in September eleven. They got it, but I think
futur it and just well this is the thing. Though,
Zelenski had already said that he is going to uh,
you know, go to the negotiating table with Russia to
try and end the the invasion or the war that's
happening in Crimea. So at a certain level, his long
view is that, well, I might I won't need these

(26:43):
defense weapons because I'm just going to capitulate, allow this
like weird puppets state to be carved out of Ukraine
and just keep things moving. But I guess this is
where it's what's interesting, because now the Ukrainian government has
said they are going to look into this gas company.
Yeah they said. Other Prosecutor General Russlan ryaboshotka Um, who's

(27:05):
like the new m prosecutor general, said was that the
name of the guy in the Gulf video. Uh No,
it was Devin Archer. He said he's looking to review
fifteen cases in all um, including high profile investigations of
wealth Ukrainians, among them the owner of the natural gas
company h Barisma Holdings. So it's not even into necessarily

(27:27):
the company, it's like the Ukrainian owner of it um.
So it's weird. I don't know on one level, right,
because I think if you're thinking of it, like as
this triangle between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, it
would almost make sense if there was now pressure from
Russia for Ukraine to like actually do this investigation, because

(27:48):
then that would help Trump like at least legitimize his
actions because in the in the end of the day,
Putin does need Trump in office for anything remotely positive
in terms of their agendatives. Her. Yeah, and also just
in general, he likes to see what like the Western
world suffer and be torn down and lose influence and

(28:08):
lose power, And the greatest success of his entire career
in terms of accomplishing that has been the election of
Donald Trump. So um, you have to wonder if this
will play into those Russian negotiations, right, was Zelensky like
if if Zelenski makes Trump happy, Trump will tell Putin
to make Zelenski happy, right, yeah, and again that that's

(28:29):
what's and we'll see what this whole. Uh, you know,
these negotiations go like where they go, and and ultimately
if they do lead to the easing of sanctions on Russia,
because that's really always the thing that Russia wants out
of anything. It has always been please relead the sanctions
because our economy is suffering and people keep pointing the

(28:50):
finger at me, Vladimir Putin for what's going on. But uh,
you know, we've talked about from the start that it
is shady that Hunter Biden got a fifty dollar a
month position working for a Ukrainian gas company when he
didn't really have the necessary background. It was probably you know,

(29:10):
trying to buy influence with Biden. Uh, and that's shady
as fucking you know. Even Donald Trump's own sons went
on Fox News to complain about just how shady all
this ship was, like how how you know Biden and
Hunter were like in running this scam. So I thought

(29:30):
it might be a good time to raise all the
corrupt ship that this president and his family has been
able to get away with um like asking people to
stay at all all their resorts, sending his kids to
India to close these big like real estate deals. Uh
there are four there are like foreign governments who were
just buying blocks of rooms up at Trump hotels and

(29:51):
not staying there. Right. It's just incredible. And there's this
article in Vox that that's titled I and He is dead.
The Trump's sons are doing everything possible to make corruption
a major issue and then subhead Donald Trump Junior and
Eric Trump really should sit this Hunter Biden thing out

(30:12):
in Vox. We will link off to it in the footnotes,
but it says since Trump was inaugurated, Don Jor and
Eric have been responsible for the Trump organization about five
hundred business entities and according to Trump, generates about nine
point five billion dollars in revenue. Uh. And they haven't
like stopped doing that at all. Uh. Forbes reported that

(30:36):
Eric and Don Jr. Have sold more than a hundred
million dollars of the family's real estate since the inauguration,
including a three point two million dollar deal in the
Dominican Republic last year that they said is quote the
clearest violation of their father's pledge to do no new
foreign deals well in office, so I mean, he's just
it's a pledge. It was a pledge. Wasn't a fucking

(30:58):
legally binding thing. Okay, is the thing as far as
I know pledge as a surface cleaner, Right, so you know,
do with that which the Trump International Hotel generates one
million dollars in income last year alone for Trump. Yeah.
Well again, this is I don't understand why they are
so fucking focused on this specific dimension of like a

(31:21):
hit job of corruption when they are I mean, they
have no fucking place to even point the finger in
that direction, and like it's they're really hedging their bets
where they're like it's gonna be Joe Biden. We're gonna
be running against Joe Biden. Let's just fucking triple down
on this strategy of just trying to be like Joe
Biden corrupt, because then we can make it a binary

(31:42):
choice between like what version of corruption do you want?
And they could have put literally anyone else up there
to talk about the fact that this is all nepotism,
but they chose Don JR R Right exactly, Like oh me, yeah,
I mean, but it's bad. I'm Don Junior, and I'm
clearly benefiting from all of this, and we'll see. I mean,
I mean, the fact that I brought up China is

(32:04):
really galling because the New York Times detailed in August
a one point seven billion dollar Trump organization project in
Indonesia received a five hundred billion dollar infusion from a
state owned Chinese construction company. So Ivanka is getting all
those trademarks and all the trademarks that she's been looking

(32:26):
for for a while. Jared Kushner is getting bailed out
from Qatar for his you know, horrible real estate Fifth Avenue,
great great address. And also that's where Rudy Giuliani always
goes to smoke cigars and rant and rave about his
new podcast. Mitt Romney's out here making good points. He was,

(32:48):
he said, when the only American citizen President Trump singles
out for China's investigation is his political opponent in the
midst of the democratic nomination process, that strands credulity to
suggest that it was anything other than politically motivated. So
you're gonna impeach him. This is a thing. Man like you.
They can keep talking all this shit about like you know,
do the Susan Collins thing where it's very disappointing or

(33:11):
very alarming or disturbing, but like, come on, then, don't
just get the fucking quotes out there so you can
just say something to maybe buy yourself five seconds. Like,
you know, hopefully this dam will break a lot of people.
Suspect though, too, that once the Republicans turn on him,
it'll all happen at once. It's not gonna be like
one person that another person. It's gonna be like, okay,

(33:32):
execute you know, operation abandoned, Orange fuck abandoned Orange Fuck. Uh. Well,
so he's actually profiting off of this. Our writer Jam
McNabb pointed out that he's using his own impeachment to
basically spend more money and raise more money than he

(33:54):
has since his campaign was like officially launched. His Facebook
page ran nearly two thousand ads to solicit donations after
since the Democrats announced official impeachment proceedings. He's asking his
supporters to join his quote official Impeachment Defense task Force.

(34:15):
Who do they get a fucking free badge, a plastic badge,
and a hat? Yeah? Basically, oh god. His anti impeachment
of task force also seems like a euphemism for like
some insurgent like armed militia, right, like you should join
the Anti Impeachment Task Force. But he totally thinks this
is like a huge opportunity for him. Somebody was pointing
out that he spent as much as three million dollars

(34:36):
on Facebook ads were railing against impeachment and criticizing Democrats. Conversely,
only about seven three thousand dollars was spent on pro
impeachment ads. Uh so, yeah, he's going to dominate Facebook
with his messaging. Well, yeah, I'm curious to know how
much of that, like who that audience is, if it's

(34:57):
just to keep his base in line, if they're if
there are enough of independence on there that those ads
are getting to that it could affect them. Facebook is
an incredible, uh marketing machine, Like it's so good to anyone. Yeah,
it's like it's better than any form of marketing we'd
had prior to its existence. It's like, I'm looking for

(35:18):
half Korean women who grew up in the Midwest and
are left handed and love basketball. With that three million
dollars of spending, he made back eight point five million
dollars in just two days and got fifty thousand new donors.
And that's the thing, like it's new donors thing. He's
adding to his list. He's getting the people to who
would be on the fence when all the other Republicans

(35:39):
come out and say we're against this guy. He's now
built this anti impeachment militia and they all have their
badges and they're going to come and say like, now
we hate met Romney, Now we hate all the other Republicans,
and we're our third party and we're going to re
elect Trump. Yeah, that's what's gonna be interesting. Like at
what point we were talking about that last week is
sort of like what what does that look if they

(36:00):
do try and jettison Trump off of the ship that
is known as a GOP? Like are they really just
creating another third party that they're gonna have to fight?
Is it going to just come and and it is
that going to completely split the votes? That conservative ideology
is just gonna have a real hard time re establishing
itself over time. But I mean that would be ideal,

(36:20):
but I don't. I feel like more it's just gonna
be that that new party, whatever it is that follows Trump,
is going to be the real powerful party because it's
just appealing to everybody's most base, you know, hateful ideals.
So I mean the merch though coming out of the
Trump store is really quite beautiful. Yeah, someone who really

(36:44):
enjoys fine art. Uh. This poster that he's selling, that
Donald J. Trump Limited Edition what they call fucking fine
art poster, and it's him doing a fucking like Superman
through the air flying pose. It's like a really terrible
illustration with his seismograph autograph on there. That's terrifying. Four

(37:05):
dollars for that fine art for that's you know, I like,
I like that he's democratizing fine art. I mean you
you say terrifying, I say inspiring. Uh. The and the
other way they're spending that eight million dollars that they
made is on TV ads, uh, spreading the conspiracy a
conspiracy theory, spreading the Joe Biden in Ukraine conspiracy theory. Um.

(37:29):
But I know they CNN like refused to air it.
I think, yeah, I mean that's the thing is they should.
Facebook is not refusing to run these ads. They could.
I'm not gonna say no. That's and again when you
look about when you look at why Facebook fucking sucks
and why Mark Zuckerberg is a fucking loser, the like
being open to like, yeah, dude, I freacking love money
that I'm just so down to like gaslight people with

(37:52):
these really misleading ads because you know, it's a fucking
eight million dollars spend. And he actually said, like we
put we put politicians through a different approval process than
you're everyday advertising, right, like they can say what they want.
God please. I mean, I think there's some like validity
to like probably you know, holding political speech sacred, but

(38:17):
that you got you gotta at a certain point put
your foot down and not let people these are just
lies lies. You know, It's just as dangerous as like
climate change denial because the effects of that or people
are not paying attention to a crisis that is an
existential threat to humanity. And this is a crisis and

(38:38):
an existential threat to our representative democracy. And to just
be like yeah, yeah, I fine, you know it just
be like this thing that everyone is said has been
widely debunked across like across everywhere, We're going to still
present that as fact to you because they're spending enough money.
So I mean, I think that's a fairly good summary
of like where we were coming out of last week, right,

(39:01):
like it's you know, the facts that are coming out
are really bad for Trump. Trump is just using his
you know, giant, uh social media imprint and huge the
fact that he has like more money than any presidential
campaign ever to blast outlies and they're sort of you know,

(39:23):
equaling each other out with slight movement and towards uh,
you know, people favoring impeachment. But in terms of where
this thing could be headed, one of the questions I'm
very interested in is what else is in that vault,
that secret server thing where they where they were holding

(39:44):
this uh transcript and apparently other transcripts of calls that
the president had that were potentially damaging meetings everything like
anything that they're like, we have to keep the secrets.
So that's conversations with putin, conversations with Mohammed bin Salman
of Saudi Arabia, like, those are things on there. And

(40:05):
we also found out recently there was a conversation that
Trump had with Chinese President Ji Jimping that was saying,
as they were like, look, this deal was all shut
the funk about Hong Kong. As long as we keep
these trade talks going because like I need to figure out,
like he needs a win, so he's trading money or
the the optics of a win in the economy. Uh,

(40:27):
for people who are trying to fight for their own
democracy or the some some semblance of democracy whatever they whatever,
it ends up being in Hong Kong. But it's you know,
when you consider how much normally the stance of the
United States is like we we like to try and
hold China sometimes ish it. I mean, at least we
would say something about human rights violations, not necessarily always

(40:49):
do something about it. But this is just sort of like, Hi,
here's the deal. I'll fucking you know. I'm not gonna
make it hot for you. Look, man, I's like please, man,
just just need to win. I just need to win.
So again, it's when you look at how willing he
is to reverse course on all kinds of established policies
and norms for this government, you can only imagine what

(41:10):
some of these other calls are. And if this is
you know, sh it's still it's still leaking out somehow.
I have to believe Hillary's emails are in that vault too,
just so he can continue to say that Hillary's emails
are hidden in a vault somewhere in Ukraine. I think
it was like his other thing too. It's like, well,
what about that d n C server in Ukraine? And
they're like, what are you what? That was the d

(41:31):
n C server that Russia hacked, but that was actually
hacked by the Ukraine. Ukrainians therefore, and they're evidence somewhere
in your fault in Ukraine. Except we know where that
server is. Yeah, we have it somewhere in decent you know,

(41:52):
it's violent, flailing. Yeah, So I don't know. It'll be
interesting to see where things go from here. The Foreign
Ministry in China came out and was like, you guys,
solve that ship yourself. We're we're sure America can handle
their own. Yeah, yeah, well of course, yeah, I guess
go go fund yourself out of this. By tomorrow, they'll

(42:13):
be fucking things to keep my name out sift through. Yeah, alright,
we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. And while we're on the subject of

(42:35):
the People's Republic of China, did anybody see the seventy
year anniversary parade last a man one of my favorite parades.
How were they dressed? What was the red carpet like
like stage Unfortunately not enormous like globe destroying missiles. Uh.

(42:57):
I could have used fewer of those and more snoopy.
Oh just a big dick measuring parade. Yeah yeah, yeah?
And how big is it? Huge? Huge? There were also
some weapons that I had never seen outside of a
G I. Joe toy box. Like there there was like
a little like motorcycle helicopter thing. It was like a

(43:17):
two seater little helicopter that didn't like you weren't inside
of anything. Yeah, you were just like in an open
helicopter thing. It was kind of dope. That sounds awesome.
I think the amazing things Giving Day Parade could use them. Yeah, absolutely,
like a little I mean I could use those just
like a little like golf cart helicopter that you could
just be like we take off that. It sounds like

(43:39):
a disaster waiting to happen, but I'm here for it.
Coming out with one right next week exactly. Flamethrowers and
personal helicopters, uh, powered by weed. You know, we know.
There's also a slingshot hypersonic unmanned aircraft that looks like
a stealth bomber. But like in a in hang glider size,

(44:02):
and it's designed to help aim weapons at US aircraft carriers.
So wait, what do you mean. It's just that's like
people looked at it. We're like, oh, so we understand
what this does. And it's specifically designed to fight a
war with US with the with the United States considering
our naval technologies. And the other thing they said is

(44:26):
that all the missile names are all written on the
side of the weapons in English. Uh. And the Gelopnic
editor who was kind of summarizing this was pointing out
that that's because the real audience for the parade is
US the Daily Fantastic. Yeah, well, thank you so much,
thank you all right, Joker, as we're recording this appears

(44:48):
ready to break a bunch of box office records while
you're listening to it, probably already has. And s producer
Ana Hosnier was actually at a movie theater last night,
so we're gonna bring her in. But you were saying
that it had sort of a different vibe than a
movie going experience, like you see Joker, right, you wait,

(45:13):
what about Joker? Why didn't you see Joker? Why do
you see Joker? Dog? Come on, what do you anti.
I thought you were a serious filmgoer. Um, Hustlers is
really good, right, Yeah, But you were saying that there
was like a palpable police presence at the movie theater.
I didn't say police presence. I said there were security guards.
So what do they look like? Just do it in

(45:33):
polo shirts. That's a security in the back looking on
their phones, disinterested. There was one on his phone like
of course, yeah, I mean I know security guards. I
was looking at and I was like, wow, you let
you carr your phones? Huh yeah, I guess that makes sense. Yeah, No,
they were. They were walking one. The parking lot was
packed and the theater was packed, and I was like, wow,
Hustlers is going to be really great. Of all, I

(45:56):
guess so because that's the big movie that was out
unless they were came for The Goldfinch. No, nobody came
for the Goldfinch. But yeah, but they had security guards
patrolling outside and in the theater. D oh, like up
in it like even in Hustlers. No, No, no, like
in the out not like in a movie the like
in the building, just like walking down the aisles, like

(46:19):
what y'all doing over there? Just standing under the screen
with their arms crossed, just looking out. During when Straight
Out of Compton came out, they had security guards sitting
in the theaters with people, right because you know, yeah,
because there's such a rich history of hip hop fans
uh doing that ship. Yeah, so there was definitely security

(46:42):
walking around. Um it didn't look like they were ready
to take action if something happened, but I mean they
were there, I guess, I mean, just probably not just
as much for people who are the patrons of the
theater to feel safe, right, Yeah. And you know, I
wasn't personally concerned because I live in like a lower
in Mary and I was like, they're not coming for us.
They're coming for the whites if they really want to,

(47:04):
you know, Like I didn't really I haven't read one
good review of it, and I don't know if that's
because of all of the commotion about it and Todd
Phillips just like shooting off at the mouth and all
these other things that it just sort of poisoned the
well so no one could watch it and feel good
about it. But I'm not like the headlines have been
like it's one terrible note played over and over again,

(47:25):
or like it's the worst thing I don't give a
funk about. Right, Yeah, I'm still gonna probably see it,
because No, I'm curious what people were so into in Venice.
I don't know. They're like the angsty, young angry guy,
the story of the angry Like I don't know, he's

(47:47):
not young right because he's like he's like but he's
like middle aged. I'm not fully sure like what they're
trying to portray him as. But um, I don't know.
That story is so boring to me. It's like, oh, no,
you're angry. Yeah, and you can watch fifty year old
j Loa the hottest stripper. That's a more interesting story.

(48:09):
I'm like, I've seen the angry dude who's unhappy, and
it's almost almost every Joaquin Phoenix movie. But like, I've
seen that story so much it's not interesting to me.
I'm like, yeah, oh no, right, But then it's like
a story of some strippers who hustles and Wall Street
guys out of money, because that's just more interesting and
actually defy physics. As she looks that good? What, No,

(48:33):
I look so young. I could probably look like that too,
Like I don't it's not one of my priorities. So
I wake up every day hoping that I look like
a young fifty's as a twenty nine year old. Yeah,
there is just something with people's fascination with this specific character. Um,
but is this his origin story? Yeah? I guess the

(48:55):
first origin story that is specifically all about I don't
really under stand the timelines of these films doesn't reveal
because it's all just like one universe and they just
pop around. Like wouldn't he be like much younger when
he decided to become the Joker? Or is it the
actual I don't know the story very well. Is it
that he became the Joker late in life? I have

(49:16):
it's different. I don't know. I think it probably it's
up to the writer at that point, like how they
want to fact. I mean, in the Tim Robber or
Tim Tim Robinson. I want to see the Tim Robinson Batman,
But the Tim Burton Batman he didn't become Joker until

(49:36):
he was in his sixties and now is Nicholson Nicholson? Yeah,
I don't get it because he fell in a vat
of acid. Right. Oh, so that's not the same origin
story of Like I've decided that no one likes my comedy, right,
that is Ledgers like what's the Joker like sort of
frustrated the desire to have a origin story by like

(49:59):
giving you a different explanation for how his face cut
scarred up like one of them, but we don't see
his actual him becoming he's already the Joker, right, Yeah? Interesting, Yeah,
I mean see that's the beauty of this intellectual property.
You can rinse and reuse and make it seem like
a different thing. Right, But there is an original comic
book that is the official origin he will I guess

(50:22):
the first origin story was when he was like not
the Joker in Red Hood, right in like the fifties,
when that was like the first technical appearance of this character.
Why should I respect any of this if there's But
I do think that's one of the things that's cool
about comic book movies is you can like endlessly go

(50:43):
back and re tell a story in a different way
like that. I I don't think that that's that that
doesn't bother me about them. It's just that's the one
thing I don't like. It's like it's just never ending.
It's like, what's the true story here? What's like, what's
the truth yea, is it a bad chemicals or he's
an in cell comic. That's why it's like, yes, exactly

(51:05):
where did we decide this was? This isn't what it is.
That's that's what my problem with the Spider Man movies
is there's two, there's too many, and they all have
like a weird concept going on, and I don't understand
what's frustrating me with I think Spider Man was the
one place that frustrated maybe because it felt like they
all could be the same movie, Like there weren't that
many differences about like the origin story. It was just

(51:27):
like a different like dude in high school but until
into the Spider verse. But in his first appearance, he
did does fall into a vad of chemicals the very first.
That's the original concept. It wasn't a bad comedy career.
But that's why I know these movies start getting you
to question. I thought he was a guy who had
chemical burns. But as we've talked about with Miles friends,

(51:49):
like that is a very real like type of pathos
that people deal with, like the dude, the failed comedian,
like being somebody who like ends up like into like
anger and it's like it is a form of like
I do. Are you talking about the guy who I

(52:10):
went to high school with who was dressing up like
the Joker? Yeah, when we talk about that on the show,
Yeah we did, and um, I actually I asked a
round about him. I think he works in reality TV now,
hell yeah he does. He plays the Joker. No, he's yeah,
maybe the reality TV star would be a good comic
book villain, like yeah, right, like just totally beyond recognition

(52:31):
of I mean, he's a plastic surgery. That's better. The YouTube,
the evil YouTube, YouTube, social experiment pranks. It's like the Joker.
It's just racism and murder, but he calls him pranks
and social experiments like offensive videos and oh wait that
guy actually exists. Yeah, I guess he is the Joker.

(52:53):
Jake is a Jaker. Jaker, he's the Jaker Logan Loco,
I don't know what it's a Jaker and Loco, dude,
Jaker and Loco, the original Jokers. Well there's this one
like prank guy quote prank guy who like goes and
like picks fights with black people. And then it's like,
oh it's a bank, yeah I remember it. Like this dude,

(53:16):
I think I forget who wasn't. There's one guy who's
not white. He's Middle Eastern and he would go around
in New York and like step on people's Jordan's and
ship or like or trying to run off with their
phone and then they'd be like he would literally go
like fuck it, he's fucking around film yes, and these
people would beat his ass or like he would get

(53:37):
Swollens like prank would be like hey man, like, oh
is that like the new phone and try and snatch
it out their hand to run and of course they're
going to fucking put their hands on you. But it
was really like in the point where that's like when
a lot of people were like, these are not pranks,
Like you're just working with people. There's no prank involved
because as far as they're concerned, you're stealing from them

(54:00):
trying to have assault. The original and only prank show
that really should have any respect is Candid Camera Candy Camera.
But before they did the reveal, did you ever hear
about how they the show was like a complete failure
And then they started showing the reveal, But before that
it was just like people being fucked with and everyone's like,

(54:21):
this is me I think I only watched Oh so
there was no like relief for it. Seems like a
mean socialist she thought her baby was stolen? Right, what
the fuck? I love this show? Right? Uh? What do
they think you're underrating Punked? Yeah? Feel like that was
peak but it was. Yeah, Well there's something about punking

(54:45):
rich people that's not interesting, like, oh no, well you'll
be fine. Well, I think it's really the ones are
good is when you can make rich people sweat, Like
what was the one he thought the house was burning
down or some ship. I don't even remember that. I
think it was just one of those people were just
everything was being repossessed. It also brings out the worst
in people, yeah, kind of which is a good thing.

(55:06):
That somebody is a terrible person and then they're like, yeah,
i'll sign off, sure, yeah, expose them Franks. Alright, guys, sorry, Anna,
we have to talk about sour candy and you're gonna
stay on Mike for this one. Uh huzzling Sally Candy,
Sally Candies. Uh so there is a story on I

(55:28):
think the take Out that you can currently buy ninety
air heads for seven dollars. They're just always doing ads
on there. Yeah. Uh, that's just a good deal. I mean,
I love air heads. I have a hot one, and
you know, probably in sixteen years, that's one of those
candies that tastes so good that it would like make
my jaw hurt from like or whatever, mean, just your

(55:52):
jaw joints being over. Yeah. I remember what an air
head looks like, but I'm trying to remember how you
eat an airhead. It was just like a big it
was like a strip, is it like aw? I couldn't
remember if it was like a big lollipop or yeah. No, no,
just a flap of choo chow and yeah flap with
cho cho uh. And I remember the white Mystery flavor

(56:13):
was my favorite one, which I think was just cherry
or like white cherry or something, but they called a mystery.
Then there was blue raspberry, and I'm trying to remember
what else they sold in like the candy store of
my there's always purple. The one of the worst flavors,
I think, just in general fake you like fake? Do
you like fake grape in general as a flavor? No?
Not anymore. As a kid, though, I loved the fake grape. Yeah.

(56:37):
So when I was growing up and trigger treating, I
always felt like I was getting ripped off with anything
that wasn't chocolate unless it was a blowpop. I think
blow pops were also like up there because there was
at least chewing gum that your parents wouldn't let you
normally have a multiple course meal. Yeah exactly, and I'm

(56:57):
I yeah for me. Starbursts, I was like miss me
with that ship, Like, where's the fun? I love Starburst,
don't get me wrong, but the excitement when i'm ranking,
like when I see what's going into the Satchell that
I'm carrying around when I trigger treat to this day
as a thirty five year old, man um, I really
love to have the chocolate. You know the list, There's

(57:19):
been a list. A lot of people be putting out lists.
This is the thing people love to do every year
around this time, ranking the best or the worst Halloween candies.
Candy store dot Com on their blog set off a
list that a lot of people had takes on on
the best and the worst. I would just like to
start off with the worst because I think I agree
with many of these. The first one candy corn. I

(57:41):
do not like candy corn. I'm really fun with candy corn.
When I was a kid because my sister's favorite food,
which favorite food food is candy corn, and it makes
me like not really trust her as a person. It's weird.
What's your experience as you eat candy corn? You're like,
do you I do the thing And I'm sure I've
said this over and over again where I think somehow
this will be the year tastes different to me? Right,

(58:03):
And it's not. I gave up on it, like when
I was that's good, good for you, you're smarter than me.
Number two circus peanuts. I mean, do people still give
out circus peanuts? I don't know. Man, that's a candy
raunge marshmallows that are peanuts shaped, and they oh those
are oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I thought those
were packing peanuts. I've been so I've been eating those,

(58:26):
you know, I just never knew that that, yeah, that
those like fake as like orange, like aren't they like
orange and pink or whatever? Like they're mixed up in
the bag. I've never even tried. You had no idea
that she puts those in your packages. I guess, so, yeah, dude.
Number three peanut peanut butter kisses, Yo, hold on a
Reese's peanut butter cup, but given rebirth as a Hershey's kiss,

(58:48):
I would that. I think I think Reese's was always
like my ultimate, especially if they if you got one
of the pumpkins or like one of the ones that's
actually like something like money bags. Didn't have that in
my town. Yeah, that was that was next level Number
four wax coke bottles. Could not agree more, like what

(59:09):
the those wax candies. The wax candies like in my mind,
like they sucked and I never enjoyed them, but like
they give me such a specific sensory memory of like
childhood because maybe just because I haven't sucked them since,
like the lips like wax lips, yea terrible. I feel
like the sensory memory is like a stomachache, right, Uh.

(59:30):
Neco wafers obviously we're anti necho where I'm anti Necho wafer. Sorry,
it is what it is. Tutsie rolls. No, I don't fun.
I mean, I don't think it deserves worse. Like I
feel like, look, you know, I think it does because
it's such a serial offender. People think they can get
away with chocolate with roll with a roll, and it's
like that's not chocolate. That's chocolate flavored candy. That's chocolate

(59:53):
flavored gum. It's like when you're you know, cutting cocaine
with other fillers, you're actually crudy. Uh tutsie rolls. Then
I over chocolate tutsie rolls personally, Oh yeah, weren't we
because they're like stars number seven Smarties. Okay, smarties now
here she is, Wait what I like start of the worst.

(01:00:13):
Look that's we don't We're not saying this is based
on any kind of facts or we should respect these opinions.
Because I like a Smartie. I fucking ride or die
by Smartie. I mean that was the first thing I
learned about you was you were the smart lady. Yeah.
I used to go to Iran with so many Smarties
that my family members and children or people who are
now my age because we all grew up as that works. Uh.

(01:00:37):
When I would see them as children, I would give
out so many Smarties and ran that when I come
back and visit as I get older, they still be like,
you got the Smarties and I'd be like, no, I
have to quit. Sugar age doesn't do well, but damn
be Like for my family, it's uh me being into sharks.
Do you have that thing that you are that you're
like known to your cousins as, oh, my uncle, they

(01:01:01):
would always call me Brazilian because in the ninety eight
World Cup, I would I would usually be in Japan
in the summer when I whenever I wasn't in school,
I was basically in Japan. So when World Cups will
come around, I was in Japan. And that year, uh,
you know as the emergence of Ronaldo are nine, the
great of striker, and ultimately France won that World Cup.

(01:01:24):
As we don't know the Inadians that dan with an
m v P performance. But yeah, I was so obsessed
with this brazil team that they were like, oh, it's
the Brazilian It wasn't It wasn't a you know, normally
Japanese people do like to other half Japanese people. But
it wasn't that. It was my devotion to the Brazilian
national team. Um. And that actually subsequently set off an
intense obsession with Brazilian culture. Love the music, love the food,

(01:01:49):
and there's a certain jinga you know, as they say
magic to it. There's worse countries, um. And then look
just around out the ten liquor is good in plenty
and bit of honey bit? And what are those of
good in plenty are just like they're like liquorice also, yeah,
white liquorice flavored, uh like pill pills? Yeah, and then

(01:02:14):
bit of honeys are just chewy with with a little
bit of I don't know. That's the very uninteresting Okay,
now let's get in what they are saying. Are the
tops Number one Reese's peanut butter cups? Okay, number two
snick Ease, Okay, up there? Would you throw your Snickers
into the freezer right away? Or were you a kid
who would just leave it? Did your parents let you
eat all your ship that night? No? Man? I mean

(01:02:35):
but when I was a kid, No, but I had
to fucking I would. My mom would put hide put
that shirt above the refrigerator and in the middle, and
I would wake up, get the steps tool and fucking
take that like just take a handful out. But I
didn't have a garbage can in my room like when
I was six, so like I would have it like
in my pockets and ship. My mom would like be
like what the funk were you doing for? Like you're

(01:02:57):
just like dropping it out of your pant leg like
Indy Defray prison exactly slowly dig my way out. Um.
Number three twigs, Yeah, twixts is good. Oh no, no,
is it between left twicks or right twigs or just
in general? I just don't like a twigs. Really, what
is it about it? The kramel it's not good chocolate,

(01:03:20):
it's not good caramel. And then that's that like tasteless
wafer thing in the middle. So everything has to be
good for you. Wow, there's like a like a bare
minimum standard. Okay. Number four kit Kat, I love kit Kat.
I like a white chocolate kick coat. You had the
green ta ki. Ever been to Japan? Ever? Knowing anybody

(01:03:42):
who's taking a trip to Japan? That's good? Yeah? What
was that one? I didn't I bring some ship back
went out to Japan? The banana ones? Oh yeah, I
brought banana kick catch back from Japan. They really good,
really good. I know you it sounds disgusting because normally
fake banana it's not the wave. Wait was cat and
I was like, gave me a break, gave me a break,

(01:04:04):
break me off a piece of that Snickers bar. Jesus,
we were both way too much time together. We did
the same stupid number five peanut Eminem's peanut with the
peanut o peanut and peanut butter peanut. Have you ever
had the coconut Eminem's? No, No, those are good? And

(01:04:27):
the pretts le Eminem's. I was I was saying they
needed to make Prett's eminem's before they made them, and
now I've been disappointed in what they came up with
ever since I got them, because I feel like Rex Ryan,
the football coach, was addicted to them, and there was
a story about that, and I was like, I gotta
try these, man, because my boy Rex, I think he
knows how to snack. The peanuts, I feel like are

(01:04:48):
the only candy that I could eat forever, like an
endlessly Reese's pieces. I feel like that too. I remember
I read an article once it was like a peanut
eminem is a perfect snack because it's got sugar, protein,
and it's talking about like eating six peanut eminem's. Right,
get a kingsize bag and there's have six and move

(01:05:10):
on with your dad. Has anybody ever eaten six peanut eminem's.
The only time is when they were only six left
in the bag. I actually I had to stop eating
them because I was so addicted to them. Yeah, I
would always every time I would go to a gas station,
i'd always get a bag of peanut Eminem's. Yoh, it's
not I mean, that's not a joke. Like they specifically

(01:05:31):
engineered this ship. Would you ever do the move where
you don't chew them, you let the candy shell dissolve
in your mouth and then do that I put in
my ears. But I kind of like, I kind of
like the crunch, like the I think they think to
make sure it's got the right you know what. I've
also balanced of it all, hit it with a hammer,
opened it up like a baby. I mean, like my

(01:05:52):
baby's born. Hit a baby with a hamm. You would
crack like a baby, you know, a peanut eminem and
like burn the peanut out of its pointed out, that's
not how babies. Like that scene in Jurassic Park where

(01:06:13):
like that robot arm is like slowly taking Yeah, that's
exactly it, and Beaty Wong is, well, we engineer all
of them to be females in Jurassic Park. Um number
seven or number six, nerds, you know what, this is
actually one of the bullshit, like just sugars candies that
I like because you could just put a mouthful in
and let your teeth rottle dissolve. It's got a nice

(01:06:35):
mouth feel. Yeah, yeah, feel all about the mouth mouth feel.
Number seven Butterfinger, of course, Butterfinger would be higher on
my list for sure. But what would you knock down
of the chocos. I'm trying to think, probably TwixT. I
would just flip flop those number eight Sour Patch kids. Yeah.

(01:06:56):
I like Sawer Patch kids A lot of people on
this Sarah Candy taxonomy that Marnie sure did on the takeout,
she was saying that the Sura Patch kids are like
she she only works with the Sarah Patch watermelon. But
I actually that's just is that a whole candy or

(01:07:17):
that's just a flavor within the pack. No, No, that's
the whole candy. They're like water they look like watermelons. Yeah,
but I actually funk with the kids themselves. I was
put off by alright, sorry loop that. Uh. I was
put off by watermelon candy the from the jump from
the jump when I had a Jolly Ranchers watermelon flavor

(01:07:40):
that should just tasted like petroleum and sugar, like the
fake watermelon flavor and a watermelon jolly rancher. Oh yeah, yeah,
you know what I mean. Yeah, like they were confusing
to my mouth. I was like, this tastes so fucking
weird and caustic. It's like your cilantro or whatever it
is that people. Yeah, they're like, here, try this is
this good? Bad? I know what your genetic type is?

(01:08:02):
Number nine Skittles, I don't I like the ones? What's
the one in the blue pack? That's the tropical one? Tropically? Yeah?
You would you again? Another eating tactic? Did you dump
the bag and then divide and conquer? It changes every
time every time. Sometimes you just dip in see what
you get. Other times you segregate them separate but equally.

(01:08:25):
But when I don't eat them like by color, I
feel like a slubow putting it all in my mouth
one color at a time. Are you like making I
got one color at a time usually? Wow? Huh. Interesting.
By the way, the French the Marnie Schure in in
this article, nice piece of information. The French referred to
Sara Patch kids as very bad kids. I think um.

(01:08:50):
And the number ten is the Hershey bar Tried and
true straight out of Hershey p a Yeah, the crunch
bar on there no crackle, you know, like when you
get that mixed pack with the Hershey stuff. Mr goodbar
her she's dark. Yeah, you know what I mean. I
love the dark chocolate. I didn't realize how much I

(01:09:13):
like that one. I feel like I would put her.
She's just like number two after Racess, like just a
regular bar about the quality of the chocolate. It sounds likely,
I am what's the best? Okay, Let's let's say you
lived in a world where everyone was wealthy and they
could impour a chocolate from anywhere, and that's what they
handed out. What would be a the chocolate that would
bring you the most joy to be handed out regardless

(01:09:33):
of what's normal for Halloween, like a s dark with
sea salt. Holy sh it, okay, refined, thank you for that. Wow.
I just had recently a Hungarian chocolate that has paprika
in it, and it's fucking good. It's a dark It's
a dark chocolate with a little bit of bite. Yeah,
you know, shout out to Hungary, job hungry. Yeah. European chocolate,

(01:09:57):
like I feel like the cadberry, like they actually put
no can their milk chocolate. Yeah, I love like an
arrow bar um kinder Bueno, you know, the little hippopotamus,
the kid, but the Bueno. Love the kinder Bueno. Shout
out to the Cadbury. Shout out all chocolates around the world.
That's my that's my stance. Roles are not chocolate, you

(01:10:20):
know what I mean? Then it's what crack is to cocaine,
is it? Yeah? Man, they're working around like you start
off with and then they stomp on it and making
some of a whole other product. Tobar Oh wow, haven't
we been to Europe or on an airplane? Tutsie roll
they call it. When you look at the Wikipedia article

(01:10:41):
for Josie Rolla says tutsie roll is a mildly chocolate
flavored taffy like candy. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is.
It's happy right. Yeah. I don't funk with taffy period,
except for Starburs Cadberry. Flake. You ever have that had
a flake yet? Love? I think I've had a flake
the flake. You simply must flake gang. I'm excited, Okay,

(01:11:04):
Jeff Flake all for all the Jeff Flake fans out there.
Arizona editor former, Uh, anybody funk with mounds alm enjoy
almonenjoy has nuts sounds with anybody nouns. Yeah, yeah, then
in that case, I is that a good thing? Then yes,

(01:11:25):
that's the one that has coconut, coconut and then overpowering
lye cocon Yeah, I don't mind. Now. The only difference
with almondjoys what it has an almond on top of
the coconut. It doesn't fundamentally changed much, you know what
I mean, Like, if you didn't like it, you could
be like, I'll take this one almond piece off the
top of my my favorite ads for candies where they
show you what's inside the chocolate and then they pour

(01:11:48):
the chocolate over and be like old perfectly molding over
the chocolate. Oh, I love that ship. Sometimes you feel
like a nut. Sometimes you don't enjoy. They were really
just all telling you what specific Yeah, just have nuts,
don't j bro. That's exactly what jingles are for. They're

(01:12:10):

way for you to be like. That's stuck in my head,
