Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season ninety, episode three
of JA Dailys eight geis production of by Heart Radio.
This is a podcast where we take a deep dive
into america shared consciousness and say, officially off the top,
fuck Coke Industries and buck Fox News. It's Wednesday, July two,

(00:22):
two thousand nine. Team and names Jack O'Brien a k O.
I bring O'Brien Jack. The special guests don't know how
to act. I got the hot takes that some others lag.
Just so you know, I used to work at crack. Hey.

(00:44):
That is a second a second attempt at the sexy
back Akin, and I'm still playing instrument um and it
is from somebody whose name I forgot to copy over,
so we are going to shout him out at the
end of the episode. I am thrilled to be joined
as always by my co ho, Mr Miles Grab Okay,
imagine the instrumental from Big Plans Deep Cover plant boom boom,

(01:06):
boom boom, and then you go in the middle of
literal literally. Little did he know that he riddled the
podcast with anecdotes and six but Panini's uh, that's a
bit of creative license on that masterful rhyme which is
actually dead in the middle of literally little did we
know every riddles of middle Man who didn't do Italy? Um? Yeah,
because I'm still in this Italy wave. Yeah, and I
can't be shaken. Did you make that up yourself? Sorry?

(01:29):
Did you come now? No? Shout out to at year zero?
Why are zero David for that one? Alright, A true
hip hop fan who probably caught that in my comeback
a K. I took a little I took snippets of
I was literally in the middle of Italy. You know
if you remember that fire first from your flower bars.

(01:50):
My AK was courtesy of Paul Garaventa. Sounds like an
eye tap a good pies. Oh yeah, I got so. Yeah.
But I believe all of this is a sence might
describing anyway, says Italians. I think it would be like
an old Irish cop. Yeah, I think that's what it is.

(02:11):
I come from a long line of old Irish from Well.
We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by
the very funny host of the podcast coming Out with
Lauren and Nicole. Lauren flans Hi, Hey, it's good. This
was the top of your show. Was so vital already. Y. Yeah,

(02:32):
I was a what's you don't know a question? No
that whoever sent that that ind was right? Yeah, taking
a back, think I have any nicknames? No, it was
always flanns. That's a pretty good it's a catchy last time,
so it was unavoidable. Yeah. See, I mind I was

(02:53):
never called by my last Were you ever called O'Brien
by coaches and teachers, even like my own coaches, like
when everyone else had a like a last name, I
was always still Miles for whatever reason. Well it's a
cool name. Yeah, No, I wish I was Flans. You
are Miles. You embodied Miles, can have the multitudes, Yes, yeah,

(03:15):
the Miles, the Miles. We've all walked. Names that end
with s I think are fun or to say, you
know what, anything like Flans feels like it's like almost
like a like a present tense verb. Yeah, no, I don't.
I do think it has something to do with how
much you embody your name, Like I was always Jack,
and I think I was for some reason, like people

(03:38):
felt like I embodied that game and they're also it's
not a very it wasn't a very common name in
my generation, whereas now it's like everybody's name to Jack.
Is it back? Now? Wait? So did you? Oh, it's
skipped a generation, but yeah, well the greatest generation everyone
was named Jack. And then I was like one of
very few Jacks that I met growing up who are

(04:00):
age and now everybody's name Jack or Jackson, yeah, Jackie, yeah,
those are the those are the male names that are acceptable. Right. Actually,
when I was in Italy, I did meet a wonderful
couple from Australia. Um. Yeah, and the blark's name was
Jack hard jacko. Yeah, his hay fever got a beat
out of control there and tuscan and he didn't bring

(04:20):
his peels and I luckily like that's allergies, right, yeah.
I was like she was like fever. I'm like, I
think that's fucking allergies. And then I was like give
him a certech. Oh And then I was like he
was like, oh yeah, wait, you were talking to them
in an Australian accent. Yeah, that's offensive. Well I gave
him a ther tech and he was cool with it. Okay,

(04:42):
at first he was noting. Was like, my no, I
was not talking to him. Was his name really jacko?
His name was Jack? But he was like yeah, or
Jack hard. And then his wife, who was a polities instructor,
very nice. When we start talking at polities for a
long time, she kept calling him Jacko and everyone was like,
oh Jacko. Yeah. You know what I love the British

(05:03):
people do is how every nickname they just it just
has a z a. Yeah. So like Jeremy's jazz and
Gary is got jazz over. Yeah, it's just like a
very easy like nicknames. That's probably what it is. Going
back to the y, I missed a joke yesterday when
I was just thinking what I do when I listened

(05:24):
back to the episodes of jokes I could have done,
and you said, do you ever scream out loud over
a song for your kids? And you were talking about
how the explicit parts and I should have said, yeah,
Jack found out wutang is not actually for the children.
Thank you. That's called throwback regrets, joke regrets. That's pretty
good man. You should. You should just listen perfect Jack

(05:48):
found out. I'm like, yeah, listen back to episodes. You
may find one or two lines in the whole episode
that's re entered. They are making mostly clean versions of
albums now, which is nice. So like we listened to
Beyonce's Homecoming Live and they just bleeped the curse words out. Yeah,
over over, did you play your kid? Does Immortal Technique

(06:10):
have any clean versions? I don't know. I think it
has to be like kind of a big album for
them to take that. If you had a backpark. All right, Lauren,
We're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in a moment first where we're gonna take our listeners
through a couple of things. We're talking about the stream
wars this time friends is being taken from the young people.

(06:34):
We're going to say a fun farewell to Eric's Walwell.
We're gonna talk about dollar raising figures. Uh. We're gonna
talk about the latest entrance into the Democratic primary, they're
still coming out of the woodwork. We're gonna talk about
alex A Costa, a good labor secretary who has that

(06:57):
shady basic pardoning of Epstein in his past. We're going
to talk about how the mainstream media needs to call
white terrorism what it is. We're gonna talk about addition
number of three thousand. We're gonna talk about the least
necessary reboot possible. I don't know, maybe or the most.

(07:18):
I don't know. I'm on the fence. We'll talk about
very necessary. We're gonna talk about Nicki Minaj pulling out
of the Jettle World Fest in Saudi Arabia and how
Stranger Things is in trouble for all that smoking. But first,
Lauren Flans, which one would you rather I call you?
Let's go with Lauren. I'm trying this adult thing, this

(07:39):
adult thing. What is something from your search history, Lauren
that is revealing about who you are? Um? This is
I went through a couple and I think this most
encapsulates me as a human being. Uh does baby Bell
cheese go bad constantly googling? The answer is no, No,

(08:01):
The answer is no. I was It's like it's basically
like that wax stuff. It can kind of keep forever.
And I found like one person who's like, listen, I
would have to be in a hot car and direct
sunline for five days before it could make you even
a little queasy. And I was like, that's right, Yeah,

(08:21):
you a lot of baby Bell cheese. Now, I I
have liked I just about it. No, I have a
for the first time, I have like a job where
there's like a fridge that stopped I don't think me
like decades um and baby bell cheeses in there, and
so like I'll constantly kind of take it and then
I'll end up not going straight home. And so I

(08:43):
had these baby bell cheeses and I was like been
and I am a very nervous food person, just like
in general, Like, yeah, I google. I've also googled, like
what side is your appendix on? Like a bunch of
times you do that trick reput your them on your
belly button and like your other finger on your hip
and then it's like that that's what my mom told me.

(09:03):
That could be some old like live style. It was
about talking about your thumb in your belly button and
then your middle finger like towards your hip bone or something,
and in between betwixt those is that your right hand.
I don't know. See that's that's where it falls apart
because I've heard it. It's like a thing you hear
when you're like five years old. Because my mom had
her appendix removed and I was as a kid. I

(09:26):
was like, what happened? You get stabbed? She's like, no,
I'm in appendix. Were like what is that? And again
I'm I think I'm taking old memories and not remembering
them correctly. But you know that's what they come to
the show for. Your mom got knife fight. I believe
that too. And she would play it off like, no,
I had my appendix from five times five tis. They're like,

(09:47):
your appendix is all up in your back four times. Um, yeah,
your mom's a Badassuh. But but yeah, I eat those
baby belts lying around. Yeah, I'm getting to a it
in my life where I'm starting to trust food less
that doesn't go bad because it's clearly been spread with

(10:10):
some manner of chemical that is not natural. Um, we
had this, did we talk about the nash in the
in the office that we had? Oh what we called
that legendary Danish? Not Tanis to SUSA. We called it
Denish too. There was a Yes, there was a Danish
that was brought in by another production into the office.

(10:32):
And this cheese Danish, I'm not joking, stayed fresh like
without being like it was in like a flappy box,
like not sealed off with the air, just cardboard lid
on top. That ship stayed moist for no joke, seventeen days. Yeah,
and we were and we kept eating pieces that we
were like, yeah, you know what, But then we're like,

(10:54):
this has to be so preservative laden, because then we
had another Donnash don Niche that came through that did
I think was made in like more less chemically circumstances,
and it became still very quickly. Yes, yeah, that's the
better food product. You want stuff to have a shelf life, sure, yeah,
I think yeah. And then it's all you have to

(11:14):
know is like, Okay, it has a shelf life because
it's being put through all kinds of processes. Yeah, that's
why organic fruits and vegetables go bad, like with within
hours or like if you buy bread a Trader Joe's right,
that's that thing. Yeah, just better eat that on the

(11:35):
way home. Yeah, okay, so I'll okay, I'll eat ten
silences tonight, right exactly to keep it going. What is
something you think is overrated? Um, okay, I'm gonna get
in trouble for this because it's very it's very in
vogue right now. And two in the queer community and
the queer female community, it's you have to believe in this.

(11:57):
I think astrology is extremely extremely overrate. Get out, I'm
not you thought you knew that's sort of the response that, right, okay,
what are you? What's your sign? Who are you? Who
are you? What's your rising sign? Is it? Because are you?

(12:19):
Is your thing? Because there's a sort of disproportionate amount
of emphasis put on star signs and how that could
affect who you should be with, like, oh, you can't
be with this sign because that's toxic to you. Yeah,
that's a big part of it. And also for me,
I have a real thing because like I should just
be like, no, I believe what you believe, Like that's cool,
But I have such a thing about people. I'm like, no,

(12:41):
work on yourselves, on your flaws and your weaknesses. Don't
just be like them such an area I feel like
people do. And that's fun enough, Right, It's like someone
like I'm in areas and I'm stubborn, and I've seen
someone who can deal with that. It's rather than like
I am deep, please selfish, and NARCISSI state it's stubborn.

(13:02):
I will refuse to focus on anyone but myself. If
someone asked me to do anything counter to this pattern
I've been living, then I will meet you with astrological force.
Astronomical I like like a first like a first date,
like it was a setup once with this girl, and
I'm going to change the star side because I don't
want like a million and also I don't want a

(13:24):
million of the of people like tweeting and being like actually,
so I'm going to make up a star sign. But
like she came like like Tim and Slate like whatever.
That it's l a that happens all the time. She's like, young,
I'll use Leo. But she comes up She's like, oh
my god, I'm sorry, I'm like such a Leo. And
I was like, no, you're late because like you're not
a best because that's fine, Like you don't know me,

(13:45):
you don't know me shop. But like she's gonna go
to like every Day ten and Slane and be like
Leo and it's like, come on, a real thing about astrology. Yeah,
I think I definitely in the realm. I think it's there.
It's fun to look at. But the second you again,
I think the second you start being like because we've

(14:05):
had we've had guests who are like if you're this sign,
you can't date this sign. That that's a little too
rigid for me. I don't know. I don't like absolutes
where everyone is just fits into these categories. But it's
fun to look because there are a lot of things
that I do like realizing like, for whatever reason this happens.
Just probably my confirmation bias. But yeah, I think when
you're going that far to say like I can't date
these people, or you're using it as a tool to

(14:27):
not be self aware or introspective in any way, is
the height of the fucking dumb shit. What was the
really impressive sign thing that happened where somebody was like, oh,
you must be uh maybe this was the week you
were out, but somebody like called somebody sign off the
jump and it was it was wild. Anyways, we refer

(14:48):
back to our old podcast. A good joke for that
actually would have been what is something you think is underrated? Um,
I'm gonna go real specific on this one. The movie
Battle of the Sexiest One where Ama Stone plays Billy
Jane King And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. It's

(15:14):
a really good movie. Yeah. I really liked it. I
owned it on DVD. I saw it on a plane
and I was like, I think I liked this movie. Yeah,
And then I found out that it had been like edited,
like they like cut like the quote unquote sex scene,
which isn't even the sex scene was the sex scene
because I saw it on a plane as well to
women and it's like they're like kissing and whatever airline

(15:35):
I was on, it was like, meanwhile, I was watching
Escape at Dana Mora on the plane and they had
just like the wild fucking prison sex scenes in there. Yes,
sometimes they don't edit stone that's the best, and I'm
fine with it. The weird part is when the passenger
next to you looks at your ship and starts looking
at you like I'm like looking at me like I'm
getting off to watching some prison sex scene, and I'm like,

(15:56):
this is just the scene. Okay, why don't you mind you?
Why don't keep watch? In the map? Was the sex
scene from from Escape from down? Was it a straight
sex scene or it was screat sex? Which is probably
why they're like, well that's fine, right think it also yeah,
I think, and maybe also depends on the airline. I

(16:16):
don't know. I went down a rabbit hole after it
was you're flying on a Christian airline. The pilot towro
skater and God is the co pilot. Um where God
is actually but there is that movie about the m
p A. This film is Night Your Rated, where they

(16:37):
talk about how the one thing that the mp A
cannot abide is seeing female pleasure on screen, and so
woman on woman sex scene is like makes them flip out.
But like, uh, you know, a rape scene or like
a man like having really like aggressive sex with a woman.
They're like, yeah, that's that's the way sex has done.

(17:00):
Sex is all angry and ship and nerve racking. I
don't like to see because I've never seen a woman
have orgasm in real life with me, So I won't
allow that to be in films because I suddenly rose
to this position. Right, um cool, check out that moment.
Just not on a plane, so like what airlines? What there?
Like sort of Virgin American definitely wouldn't edit out the

(17:24):
scene there. Yeah yeah, the bathroom thing. Yeah they Well,
I was just saying, like they try and make it
seem like a club. When you walk on it's like
playing like very Yeah, like they're no more though, right,
Virgin America they got like mergers or bought up by
last Yeah, but they used to. It was that it

(17:45):
was like a big story where they made the indentation
in the sink. So it was like, you, guys can
have sex in our bathrooms easier, Like no, they did
not swear to guy. Yeah, if you like virgin airline,
I don't know, sex bathroom or something. That was like
a selling point. They're like, hey, we made our bathrooms
more sounds like they're just sounds like they're over compensating

(18:05):
for their name. They're like, no, we're not virgin. You're
a virgin. We have sex in our bathroom. Have and
it does. It has the vibe of a virgin's garage
bedroom where it's like purple light, like fucking felt posters
where the UFO is like sucking up a pyramid with
Bob Marley on it for whatever. Fucking I don't know

(18:26):
why Bob Marley pyramids on a felt black light poster.
But that was just me in my garage bedroom, Lauren,
What is a myth? What's something people think is true?
This is like this came up the other day, the
thing where people think, if you're Jewish and you get
a tattoo, you can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery?
Not true? Is true? Get all the tattoos you want?

(18:48):
Is that ship? Is that like a strict. Where did
that come from? It came from uh? And this I
had to look up like this I didn't actually know.
But it's like certain cemeteries that are like they can
make their own rules, and if they're very Orthans, so
some of them would be like, no, that's like you
changed your body and the body's image of God or whatever.
But it's not like a Jewish law, which everybody thinks

(19:09):
it is. We can't get burried in the Jewish cemetery.
It's like what people always say, it's the only thing
to stopping all of us shows from from getting sleeves.
And now like, yeah, what are you going to get?
I'm not I would never I'm talking. I thought you
were about that tattle. I mean, like the cool Jews. Okay,
if you were going to get obviously you wouldn't, but

(19:30):
if you did put yourself in that mind so nerdy.
The one thing I was maybe this is the lamest thing,
Jesus Christ is my one and only Lord, because that
might hurt your Jews. For Jesus, Hey, Christ, open religion.
That's what I was going to say, is Christ was
a Jew too, He was an organizer. Really, um, I
was going to get this is again the cheesiest thing ever.

(19:51):
I was going to get the word gray tattooed because
I'm a very black and white person, really hard towards
the metal. Thank you so much. Okay, that's the real reason.
Wait wait, Lauren, I thought we went to court about this.

(20:18):
Oh good, all right, but that person always leaves flawn
on my doorstep. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll
be right back, and we're back, and uh, it's time

(20:43):
to say a fond farewell to the only guy who
made me angry during the debates, like out of this role.
Not really clear why I hate him so much level
Eric Wallwell, uh yeah, I don't know what it was
about his face and the way he would just kept
like trying to, you know, come in big with like

(21:05):
his like talking points and his past the torch. And
it's not like I'm protective of Joe Biden, but I
was just like, shut the funk up. Eric. He's got
like a weird like he'd be Matt Damon's cousin. Kind
of looks just like someone who tweeted Jerry O'Connell oh uncanny,

(21:26):
except his eyes are a little more wider set than Jerry's.
I mean he's the poor man's Yeah, but yeah, you know,
by Felicia, thank you so much for participating in this
game with nine players already, And credit to him. I
think he's the first person to actually be like, let
me look around real quick, right, Okay, this ain't it right?

(21:47):
He was never even getting like a percent point. He
was pulling at zero percent, and after the debates, I
think he was probably pulling it. This is actively hurting
your ability to go outside without matt facial reconstructive surgery.
So uh like, what's the pulling? Where am I pulling at? Okay,
so they're mad, is that five swallow? Well? The funk

(22:09):
is this guy doing here? I don't know, Like I
heard other people have the same reaction. I mean that
they were just like he's just taking up taking up space,
up taking up space, and like being really loud about it. Yeah. Well,
I think, you know, he definitely caught a wave by
being like one of the other Like there was Adam
Schiff and then there was Eric Swalwell, like in terms
of that House Intel Committee, so like here he would

(22:31):
always be the one being like the stuff I'm seeing,
you know, when Russia Mueller ship was at fever pitch.
He was always being asked for interviews and stuff like that,
and I think maybe that gassed him up a little
too b and he's like, hey, I'm I'm like the
resistance guy. Know that was where he came from. I
didn't that's really yeah the other guy. No, it doesn't

(22:51):
need to. I mean, look, he died as he lived
in total obscurity. And yeah, yeah, whoops. How we usually
start our eulogies out as talking about how much we
hated the face of the person who passed away. Let's
talk about who is out raising who in the Democratic primary,

(23:13):
because Elizabeth Warren came with it. Yeah, she tripled her
last haul. I think when it was like a little
over six milliones. She raised nineteen point one million from
over three hundred eight four thousand people making six hundred
eighty three thousand small dollar donations. Has anybody talked about,
like where, like what the turning point was for her,

(23:35):
because it seems like it was. No, it was before
the debates. What do you mean, Like she suddenly started
skyrocketing in polls and it was like she had been
doing the same thing all along. She was just like,
here are my policies. Here on my policies. I think
it was the college debt like forgiveness when she came
with that policy, but it was like the thirty great
policy that I heard of from. I was like, I

(23:57):
don't know, Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to oh
when everyone else starts like showing up on their radar
because I've got our ear to the fucking street. Um.
But yeah, I think maybe also to like she was
very vocal about impeachment very early on too. Yeah, I
think there she's done many things that were hitting different,
you know, parts of the left spectrum. Um. But yeah,

(24:21):
so that's more than Bernie. Um. And that's a lot.
That's Yeah, a lot of people were like, well, I
don't know, man, it's hard to do it without you know,
taking that fucking corporo money. And look where she's at.
So Buddha Judge had the top quarter, right, uh, and
Biden was one and they're taking big corporate don't Yeah exactly.

(24:44):
And so this is like and I think this shows
you the power of both Bernie and Elizabeth Warren in
terms of like they're really like they have people out
here willing to support their campaigns, and I think there
is something that does resonate with people when you have
these candidates who are like, I do not want anyone
with an interest in what my policies are going to

(25:05):
be too. I don't want to be beholden to anyone,
and I'm not going to because that's the fucking problem.
Cut too now, motherfucking tom Stire pulling up into the
race the fucking billionaire. And again that's like and like this,
and both Elizabeth Warren and berniey Wroth like the thing,
you know, I mean, we don't need a fucking billionaire,

(25:26):
right because their mere existence is an affront to working people, right,
just announced like yeah, and there is like there's a
room for another non script to zero sum game though
he's like one has to go for me to enter.
So I had read an article like last year about this.

(25:49):
So he was the dude who was like in punch
impeach Trump, like he and punch him in peach Trump.
And he had like he built this like massive group.
It's the big list voter list in politics. It's like
bigger than the n R A millions, bigger than any
group that's better known or has been around longer. Uh,
and it's like eight million people who have signed on

(26:12):
to be a part of his group, and I don't know.
The Atlantic made it sound very scary, like there are
like very formidable. I guess well, I mean he's been
you know, credit to him, although he's a billionaire and
I don't think he should be running's no place running,
Like of all the useless billionaires running, he's like one
of the few that's like, yeah, I've been putting my

(26:32):
money into the right things. I'm typically on the right
side of a given topic or issue. He's you know,
puts money into like taxing billionaires or like ballot proposals
like in California that were like should we be taxing
should we let companies dodge taxes? Like hell no? And
put like thirty million dollars of his own money to
get that campaign right. Basically just like bizarro world. Like

(26:53):
good Trump, Like he has no political experience. I think
it's a good I feel like he's compensating for the
fact that he knows the fucking billionaire he has to say.
He knows how bad that looks. So he's like, but
I'm the one who knows how to say the right stuff.
But what's fucking crazy. It's like if you really want
to be a good billionaire, then like pick the candidate
you like and fucking back them, Like why do you

(27:14):
have to be right? And I think also to like
the the candidates worth backing at this point wouldn't take
his money at that level. So I feel like, why
don't you start funding some of these fucking senate races. Yes,
just take a dump of money, dump on all these challengers,
That's what they said. They contrasted him and Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg was the top donator of money to like Democratic

(27:39):
senators in the mid terms, and this dude had him
beat by like six million dollars. But it was because
he was spending all his money on his own action
committee to like build this committee up. Because yeah, he
he thinks he's you know, he's the protagonist of this narrative. Yeah,
well he's got I mean, he's got a lot of
college campus is organized. There's he has a presence in

(28:03):
swing states, so I mean, like he has a bit
of a infrastructure game. But again, this isn't someone who
is a millionaire hedge fund person. I don't care what
the funk you're saying. It's like, no, no, no, you
are you fundamental, Like you may understand what these things are,
but I don't trust for someone who made their money
like that to really be like, yeah, man, I I

(28:25):
gotta I gotta bring myself down right, Because he's like, well,
give away half. I'll give away half my money. It's
like half even the half you're left with still too
much offensive to other people. So unless he wants to
be like, look, bro, I'm giving it all away, I'm
living in this funk. I bought a condo Eagle Rock,
and I'm just doing this ship real solo. You know,

(28:46):
of the people, just from a like political analyst perspective,
One of the dude that five thirty eight keeps saying
he thinks they're Perry Bacon Jr. Is his name. He
keeps saying he thinks, I know, he thinks there's room
for a man who's not a socialist candidate to break through. Um,
that's not like he's saying that he thinks that's his preference.

(29:08):
He's just saying that. Like when you pull voters, there's
a lot of voters who are like Hillary lost because
she's a woman. We needed not a woman. Um, that
doesn't matter, right, I think that kind of logic being
applied is so stupid. Uh, Like, I don't care if
you're afraid of what is going to happen, because we
have a lot to be afraid of right now and

(29:30):
then getting caught up in that. But again, most people
are you know, you do hear a lot of people
be like, well, I don't know if if I fully
want to get behind like Warren or whatever, sand or whoever,
because I feel like Biden pie is the best chance
of winning, and I don't I don't want like people
I know people who aren't going to vote for these
other candidates. So I'm worried. It's like, dude, that's what
the fucking primaries for, So the debates are for. Yeah,

(29:52):
the whole electability thing, Like that's like one of the
primary concerns for people is like how electable are they are?
And it's like, you don't just like judge, don't like
do a fucking meta analysis of the race. Just judge
who you think would be the best president, and we'll
get the best candidate. Yeah. I'm just saying that, like
that might be the sort of analysis that encourages this

(30:15):
old yet another old white dude to enter the races.
He's like there's room for a man who not socialists.
He's like, Okay, Biden has bad race stuff and just
generally totally out of it touch. I'm a younger out
of touch guy. It was totally self funded, right, and
he said, spend a hundred million dollars. Why wouldn't you

(30:37):
just want to? Oh it just sounds like a nightmare. Yeah,
I mean that's this guy. That's the thing that people
say that, like there's no such thing as a mentally
healthy person who wants to be president. I do. I
do believe that. I feel like Elizabeth Warren is like
the closest we would get someone was just like that,
like Herman Kaine is actually the most sad owners. I

(31:01):
don't think so. Alright, let's talk about alex A Costa. Yeah,
he's The fallout continues. The fallout continues from the Jeffrey
Epstein arrangement, I guess or just sweet charges like non charge, right,
But this latest round of charges is drawing attention to

(31:21):
his original what what he got away with before? Yeah?
It was just interesting because every after, I don't know,
half the people just read about it as if this
stuff hadn't been in Like the fucking news for a
while or just who Jeffrey Epstein is out here? Um,
Like now, I was like, oh, I think you should resign.
You should resign. So that's been like the thing. I

(31:42):
was like, Okay, well should he resign? Asking for everyone's
take every you know, most the same people were like, absolutely,
he needs to fucking resign. But if you are Republican,
then you're like, oh, child sexes and I don't know,
and that should be his decision with God and Trump
and I don't want to wait in on that. But
it's like but then people like no, no, no, but
what do you think of someone who would be so leaned? Like,

(32:05):
you know, honestly, these appointees they serve at the pleasure
of the president, and I think that's a matter for
them to decide. And everyone has so such a fucking
snake about it. Uh it's great, but you know, the president,
you know, had the Emir of Qatar over to announce
a big deal with Boeing. They're buying a lot of
planes from Bowing. Is gonna be great. Um, And in

(32:26):
between inhaling his farts, Uh, the press got around to
asking questions like, a, are you fucking serious about Epstein?
What was that quote and do you think a cost
the ship resigned? Tub was like, look, I was never
really a fan of Jeffrey Epstein, despite that quote of
him saying like he's a really fun guy like young women.

(32:47):
Um and then was saying like when about a cost
his decision, He's like, look, if you look at anybody
ten to fifteen years ago, they're not making decisions that
you know. You'd be like, oh, these are smart, you
know people make some people make bad to decisions. But
that's ten or fifteen years ago, So I don't know,
you know, and I'm we're looking at this very carefully.
His favorite fucking phrase. Whenever he says we're gonna be

(33:08):
looking very carefully at this means I'm tossing it into
the fucking dustbin and I don't give a fuck. Um So,
but his whole argument is sort of like I feel
bad for alex A Costa. I don't know Jeffrey Epstein,
and also like, look at unemployment numbers. He's killing it
as labor secretary. No empathy in the direction of these
victims whatsoever. Because he's the president and sexual assault does

(33:31):
not real to him. Won't someone think of the powerful
attorney who let the children be abused. Alex A Costa
either looks like Ted Cruz who had been sucking around
with the Ring of Power for too long, or a
mix of Ted Cruise with the actor who played Girbels
in Inglorious Bastards. Oh yeah, I see that a little bit.

(33:51):
I can pull this up because I was really trying
to figure out that's the guy who played Girbals. Yeah, yeah,
that's alex A Costa makes a tech for But I
like Ted Cruz with the Ring of Power from the
other side of the aisle. Did you see Christine Pelosi's tweet? No, Jesus,
what was Christine Pelosi tweeted this Epstein case is horrific

(34:13):
and the young women deserve justice. It is quite likely
that some of their faiths are implicated, but we must
follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may,
whether on Republicans or Democrats. Hashtag we said enough, hashtag
me too. Some of our faves? Who's our faves? That's
none of my question? Yeah, uh faves? Okay, who I mean, Bill,

(34:40):
I know it's so weird our faiths. It's the Spotify
places exactly faith that well, my favor right, now is
little nas X right, So is he involved? I don't
think so. I guess that means Bill Clinton. I think
that's probably what she's pointing to. But in the weirdest,
like most cheerful way possible. My god, this sucks so bad,

(35:01):
but some of our faves might be involved. It's like
a preschool teacher trying to explain to the students, how
like sometimes like when people do bad things, it doesn't
matter if they're in our family, if we love them
or not. Right, bad people do bad things, and you
have to know that for what it is. Yeah, but
just remember, guys, one of your faves fucking Game of Thrones,

(35:23):
big mood. But yeah, some of our faves may go
by by eat eat eat shit. Let's yeah, let's just
sometimes I have to do that, just to reset in
the middle of this news cycle. Let's talk about the
mainstream media. Because another white terrorists carried out a murder

(35:47):
and it was just called a stabbing. Yeah, over the weekend,
as many people saw um, this seventeen year old named
Elijah Aman was basically stabbed and has throat slit by
a white man who quote said he felt unsafe because
he had been attacked by people who listened to rap

(36:08):
music in the past, and he also said that people
who listened to rap music are a threat to him
and the community. The suspect said he felt threatened by
the music, not the team himself, so he needed to
be quote proactive rather than reactive, and quote now proactive
seems to be the phrase a lot of journalists are

(36:30):
overlooking when describing this killing as anything other than a
racially motivated hate crime or far right wing terrorism with
their agenda sort of like purifying the country or taking
it back. No matter how you want to look at this,
this is person was proactively engaging in his own form
of ethnic cleansing, of his own form of ridding this

(36:53):
country of quote people who listened to rap music. I'm
curious if he saw a white kid listening to rap music,
would he have slipped this person's throat, you know what
I mean? And and a lot of people like so
many of the takes like every time this happens, and
I was like, imagine the roles are reversed, right, Is
it a black person setting the throat of a white teenagers? Whatever?

(37:13):
This would be the front page of Fox News for
the next three weeks. Yeah, and the fact it is
literally the second time this exact scenario has happening. People
are fucking and now it's becoming a trope, right, and
also becoming like a thing where it's easy to be like,
is it a mental health thing? Right? It always becomes
a mental health thing when it's a white person killing
people racially motivated. Yeah, uh, it becomes well, he was

(37:37):
hearing voices, and it's like, well, you know, yeah, well
he was released from prison on Tuesday apparently, and the
murder happened on Saturday, And some people like, well, we
don't know if dude, if he needed mental health services,
but other places were very quick to point out like,
he was never described as being mentally ill or anything
like according to his paperwork in prison. But again, I

(37:59):
don't really trust prison to be the great assessor of
people's mental health. But again, this is a situation where
the media does not want to confront the ugliness in
this country where a child was killed simply for liking
a genre of music, or was killed because of his
presence as a person of color, not because he was

(38:20):
an actual threat of any kind to the people around
him in any physical way. It's this idea that the
mere presence of a black body in front of white
people is a threat two or as a perceived threat
to them. So this is the kind of ship that uh,
we see over and over again. And another reason why
when I am like very uh suspicious of people like

(38:44):
Kamala Harris, like backing bills that are increasing the responsibility
of police do not use violence or to use body
cameras or too she supported three strikes laws. There are
things like that when you look at that as a
person of color, like this is a person who's not
seeing what is happening all the time, and it's easy
to just take the stance of the status quo would

(39:05):
be like, oh, well, the three strikes law are there
to prevent It's like no, disproportionately affects people of color
and puts them in prison for life for all kinds
of ship or that she's like, oh, you know, I'm
down with weed my families from Jamaica cut to her
locking up so many people of color on marijuana charges.
I don't. I feel like the stories just get more
and more tragic, Like this ship is just he would

(39:25):
have been eighteen in like two weeks, and he's a child.
The person who murdered him was a man like definitely
some ship that would not fly uh where the roles reversed. Uh.
And I also think the media, the mainstream media needs
to acknowledge their role in ship like this. I mean,
especially the news of the world. Well, I mean they'll

(39:46):
they'll never fucking acknowledge that, but I mean the whole
you know, it's not just Fox News, it's also local news.
It's all news that is disproportionately more likely to report
a crime if it's committed by a person of color,
then if it's committed by a white person like that,
they are misrepresenting what actually happens in the world to

(40:08):
make white people scared of people of color like they
because they know it. You know, that's what people will
tune in for. And you know that this is the
consequence of that, And you know, the mainstream media needs
to be made to face up to that ship. And
if you really, like, if you want to be on
some ally should ask yourself do if you see a
person of color, if you feel at all threatened by them,

(40:29):
and how you deal with that stress? Are you doing
that because you have been fed a steady diet from
the media where black people are predators and you don't know,
I don't know their systems out they're smoking weed in
the parking lot, I don't know what that means. Like
really even check your own how you see people or
even how other people do their times. I have to
check people who are like, oh, I don't know, like

(40:51):
like uh, do that that area seems shady or something
like because why right? Like really fucking and because this
is the kind of mentality that starts off very small
and then feeds into the sort of like reactions that
police have when they have interactions with black people because
they're sort of they go into this autopilot of like, well,
I've been fed a diet where this your presence equals

(41:11):
a threat to my existence, so I will act accordingly.
And its whole I mean, the whole premise is bullshit
because this was this also was this a gas station? Yeah,
so if that were true, if it was like I'm afraid,
then you fucking get back on the highway, like what
this man wanted to do. And that's like the Trump
thing and that he wanted to be a vigilante because
it's like I want to be proactive rather than reacting.

(41:34):
Was his words. And that, but that the whole then
your whole argument falls apart. It's like, oh, you were afraid,
so you want it's like so you have to know.
It's like, let's be really, you were looking to kill
a person of color, You found your target, who was
probably smaller than you whatever, you thought, Okay, this is easy,
and you carried out a murder that you've been planning
on doing. Yeah, it's it's it's really clear, and you're

(41:55):
blaming it unfair because it's like as a woman, and
like as a tiny woman, like I get out a
lot of time, and I got the funk out of there,
Like there's so there's no part of this dude that
actually felt threatened or scared like he It's like you said,
he went out of man like I'm I'm going to
do And I think to even create the wiggle room
and how you report it, I think is so fucked

(42:16):
up and disingenuous. And yeah, I mean, if if he
really was scared, why don't you just do it? Most
white people do and just call the cops for no reason. Uh,
this black person listening to rap music, I'm sure they're like, yeah,
we get it, we get this. Call a lot. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,

(42:43):
and we're back, and we are traveling further down the
path towards a world where streaming services are just different
channels that we have to pay for, and we've been
suckered into paying a la cart for which one of
the channels that we watch, I remember like cables two
much a month, And you're like, do you have three things?

(43:06):
You're almost there right, yeah? Basically, um So, Warner has
announced that in two thousand twenty uh Friends will no
longer be available on Netflix, since it will be moving
to its new home on HBO Max, which, yeah, it
sounds like a mashup of HBO Cinemax. I don't know

(43:29):
if that was their plan in naming it. That probably not.
Rumor could be that they will have Cinemax content on there,
well yeah, because they owned both of them. Yeah, but
they're very clear, like and most of the press releases
does not mention Cinemax in anyway. Well, it's because they
don't have any proprietories. I heard about Cinemax, and I
have to be honest, I didn't know it was still.
I guess all they have are like those like sort

(43:50):
of be adult movies. Yeah, that's all Anyone only like
real Tent they have exclusive to the skin Imax. They
had they had a series oh they uh the Nick
right with them, the Steven Sworderberg And then they also
had a show that was like a basically like an
eighties action movie of a TV show, um strike Back. No.

(44:14):
I think it was called like Renegade or something Hunted.
Relics and Max. It's funny when you when you go
through like you google Cinemax series like Warrior Jet bansheeah.
I enjoyed their billboards. Yeah, yeah, they had good relics.

(44:34):
Corey then co ed Confidential, Zane Sex Chronicles, the Best
Sex Ever, Gangs of London, Lingerie, Life on Top, Black
Tie Knights, Erotic Confessions, Passion, Cold of London an uh
very yeah, a lot of group scenes. So this is

(44:57):
actually like that now that I've talked ship about the
direction that everything is traveling, this is one of the
first streaming services that I was like, yeah, I would
pay for that really yeah HBO Max, Yeah, because I
said Gangs of London, Yeah, and college co eds the
time HBO No, No, HBO Max, I would because it

(45:17):
has fresh Prince of bel Air. It has friends, Uh,
it has pretty little liars all HBO content, so you
just don't have to have a well no, they don't
know for sure. It will like it says what level
of HBO. They say HBO content. But when people ask like,
so does that mean you'll get rid of HBO go,
and they're like, whoa, It's like, but then what I

(45:39):
have both? If I get that, that's where it's gonna
get so fucking weird because there's already HBO Go And
isn't there HBO now, Like aren't they already too fucking HBO? Now?
Is just you can stream whatever is happening on HBO
right without having it as part of a cable. I thought,
HBO go you have as your cables goes, right, and
then you can access HBO go. HBO now you can
just pay for Ala carte would thing in it, but

(46:02):
also on demand right right. But it's but HBO. She's
going to have a slate of originals and programming from
Warner Brothers, New Line, DC Entertainment, CNN, t N, T TBS,
True TV, the c W Turner Classic Movies, which is
where they got me. Uh, Cartoon Network. I Love Western's
guess uh, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchy Roll, Rooster Teeth,

(46:25):
and Looney to you just watch Patting on the Loop? Yeah, exactly.
That's so I don't know. Well, it does seem like
I get the appeal. Sure, it's funny because when I
look at all those, I'm like, no show I watch
resides on any of those. Like for me, I feel
like I could live off of HBO, go Netflix and

(46:45):
like some form of thing that access is regular TV
channels like to get into this whole thing where they're
starting to be like carve up the I p to
be like, well, we own this one. So if you
want if you want the office, you gotta come to
this one. And if you like friends, you gotta go
do this one. How about you? I the DVDs? Yeah, okay,
thank you for saying that, because I didn't want to
be like old fashioned, but like that ship with like

(47:06):
friends and like you create buy it and then press
play and then this is what you did it. But
this is what Jack and our time earlier. Like, I
wonder if the thought of merely physically opening up a DVD,
I think firing up a DVD player, inserting it is like,
already nine noes. It's too laborious. That's that's what it

(47:28):
is to me. You And also that I just wanted
on my phone. I want to be able to act
whenever ever watch anything on my phone. How often do
you watch stuff on your phone anytime I travel? Oh? Yeah,
that's right, I was. Yeah. I think I only started
doing because I remember on a trip or something, you
had like downloaded a bunch of stuff. Have you started
seeing this thing? I'm like, what you already? Oh, I've

(47:51):
never done that. I guess that's maybe that's the game changer. Hey, guys,
it's the way of the future. These phones, I'll tell
you what. Not only can you make phone calls on them,
you can take photo Uh well, let's talk about some
other entertainment. Do it? Do we have anything else on that?
On that the I guess the office is leaving, but

(48:11):
the the office is going to an NBC focused one.
It is not like, didn't have anything else that I
really wanted to see. I can't think of what I mean,
probably NBC shows, there's no probably thirty Rock eventually, right,
And then it's like, but then do you want then
Disney is gonna now controls an inordinate amount of fucking

(48:31):
intellectual property. I mean, that's just gonna like they should
just give you the Disney package with your citizenship card
because you have to have it now that they own
all entertainment. Like, it's just like they should get they
give it to you, just get a portion of our
tax money and just like because yeah, Disney now just

(48:52):
dunes all our entertainment. It's called living in bourbank. Like
having a three year old and a one year old.
There's no way you can like exist with that, like
because they're like, well, who's that? Why is everybody dressed
as that dude for Halloween? Why? Why does he have
that dude on his shirt? I don't know what that is?
What is this? Dad? It's like a flatning McQueen man.

(49:16):
Haven't told me about math yet, right, it's too expensive.
Math is too expensive. Count these rocks again. Well, speaking
of needless entertainment, let's talk about a reboot. We all
need so in the in the tradition of you know,
remaking The Jungle Book, remaking uh, the Lion King, because

(49:40):
now we can make it look like animals talk. Look
who's talking now, Miles, Look who's talking? Baby? That's right.
Look who's who's talking. Yeah, I'm I don't know. It's weird.
My first react is like, what the fund do we
need that for? However, I really liked the original, did you? Yeah?
I thought I was a kid. I thought that she

(50:01):
was amazing. It's fun. I don't Bruce Willis is breaking
those like fucking like Southwest dolls and ship. Right, He's
like all this like cool Arizona, like Anasazi art or
some ship. I remember as he kids like breaking this
ship and I was like, this baby's out of control
in Elliott Gould's office. Wasn't Elliot Gould. I don't remember

(50:21):
a lot about I saw that in the theater when
it came out, and that's the last time I saw it.
So that was a long time ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think on TV, Yeah, why do we need Yeah,
I'm gonna go against this reboot. I'm gonna I'm gonna
I feel safe saying we don't need this. Yeah, I
mean it seems like it would be Oh, no, George Siegel,

(50:42):
That's who it was. No, George Siegel and John Johnson
seemed like the same guy to me. But I mean,
shout out to a Bagoda the God. Yeah it's but
I mean it is being brought to us by the
writer and director of The Wedding ring Er. What was that?

(51:03):
Oh that's the Kevin Hart one, right? Oh is it? Yeah?
I'm like, Josh Gad I think if you what that
dude's name is. If I'm right, I'm about to be
impressed with myself. Yeah, Josh yad Kayley Quoko Sweeting, Oh
she's she's Sweeting? Now? Who's Kayley Quoko married? I don't
even I don't even really know Jody. That would be great, um,

(51:27):
i'd see all their Yeah, yeah, I don't know why
this person has a knack for it. I don't like
Amy Heckerling did the original. Yeah, that doesn't make me
be like, oh wait, it's the right. Oh, thank god
Amy Heckerling and this the Wedding Ringer dude, right, yeah,
I forget. I think the way they wrote that first
one was they just had like footage of the baby

(51:48):
like doing silly stuff, and then they're like, what if
he said this? What if he said that? Is that? Really?
How they did it? Get some baby action scenes will
fill out the rest I know is one of the
former this Book of World Record smallest men in the world.
Was the stunt double for the baby in the scene
where he walks out into Manhattan traffic. His name is
Mishukay Okay, and he was the smallest man in the world.

(52:10):
I remember being like, did he grow or did he
pass No? No, he he passed away. I think kind
of recently, I want to say recently. That's why they're
making the reboot. Enough time has passed. There's a new king. Oh.
The quote from this director is actually really amazing because
it's like talking to him about what his plans are
for the reboot. This is a quote like figuring the word.

(52:33):
It's the quote starts off like comma, like figuring out
how to raise these kids with all the mistakes that happened,
adding the voices that are key to facial expressions, expressions.
It just really seems like a fun idea everyone can
relate to babies the challenges. That was a really good movie.
Trivolta and Kirstie Ali had great chemistry, and Amy Heckerling

(52:53):
wrote a great script. We're in the early stages figuring
out what the story is for the modern version. That
seems they're early stages, like it seems like the idea
occurred to you at the beginning of that paragraph, because
he's like, huh, figuring out how to raise kids with
all the mistakes. Okay, that's something add in the voices
that are key to facial expressions. Okay, maybe something here,

(53:15):
but it's yeah. Those are the first three thoughts that
occurred to you thinking about this reboot. Oh my god,
he was also alf I'm just sorry he died in
damn so he lived a damn good life. I felt, Alight,

(53:36):
don't worry, it'll come, I'm sure. Although I'm team let's
not do reboots anymore. I don't know how about this.
Why don't we empower a new generation of creatives? Like
you could just think, motherfucker stopped thinking of ship right,
it's deeply I always just think of like like there's
someone in like a basement who can't afford to get

(53:57):
their on and they're like, I finished my screen play
and then they like open their computer and there's like
eight million greenland that person like, I'm actually doing a
spec script phraseminto three. I'm hoping that I'll really get
my feet in the door. Oh man. Although I did
just finally see into the Spider verse. And you simply must.

(54:20):
Have you been to four and tip, Oh fantastic, then
you already know you No, I was just gonna say,
if you haven't been there or seen Jump out here,
you simply must. Um, it's streaming now, right, Yeah, it's
on that place. It's great, and it's so creative, and
it is obviously reboot. And we're only what eleven months late,

(54:41):
eight months, nine months late to the party, ten late
to the party. I mean, I'm sure a lot of
people are just now seeing it because it's just on
that Well. I've been constantly told to see it since
it came out, and I'll be like, okay, talking to it.
And then I finally took one of those airplane flights
where you get to it one of those airplane plates,
one of those plane play sure and all the girl
girls sexy. Uh, well, let's talk. While we're talking about Netflix,

(55:10):
it's time to acknowledge that they're not beholden to the
same rules as other Like they don't do mp A
ship or I guess they just enter like just joined
the m p A. But they like don't follow the
same rules as movies that have to come out in theaters,
and that includes uh, you know, swear words and violence

(55:35):
and all that ship, but it really includes tobacco use.
Their shows have way more smoking than like modern Hollywood movies,
like all networks now on Netflix, stuff does. Yeah, like
Stranger Things is the biggest offender, but Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
had it, Oranges The New Black had it. Um, I can't, okay.

(55:59):
I feel like there's like one character that smokes, but
he smokes two times. Oh that yeah? Um? And I
think Stranger Things is the one where it's like the
grizzled cool cop does it, and so it's like kind
of I mean, you just don't want to let kids
know that it makes you look cool, I know, but

(56:20):
the way they should do is be like, no, it doesn't.
It makes makes you look cool for a second. Then
you can look old as fun. Right, Yeah, that ship
you have to I'm sorry, Strangers Things like you have
to have it in that show. That show, its whole
ethos is like authentic eighties and then and it gets
so much cred for how authentic it is, and that's
just what it was. Yeah, everybody did um. I got

(56:43):
to dive into this season. Is there cocaine use? Then
it's not the eighties, but you're following mostly little kids around,
so I feel like they're doing a lot of coke
in the U When I was four, Yeah, you running like, well, well,
my parents used to shape of my head and put
cocaine on the top of my head and I'll walk
around the parties and people do off the little soft spot. Yeah. Yeah,

(57:07):
that's the best thing to do, cocaine off of Yo.
What's that called again? I don't know. I was because
I just shout out to my homegirl who just had
her baby, and she's like, you wants to wants to
a baby's soft spot? And I was wild, Hell, yeah,
you can see it's pulse there. Yeah, you like dig
your finger in, you'll like make his left leg twitch

(57:28):
than his right. Let No, I'm just to no, that's
so funny because that was a joke I made. Yeah,
and they're like, you feel like I was like, no,
looks I can play. I'm like leg kicking. But so
people with more baby back, yes, please the show don't
look around with the fun now. Yeah, that is very

(57:50):
important that you take. If you learn one thing from
the don't it is not a bowling ball with a
piece of tape on the finger hole, nor is it
a controlling device that you can use to control them
like a remote control car. Not. But so the Surgeon

(58:11):
General did a study and people with exposure to tobacco
movies are twice as likely to be getting smoking compared
to those with less exposure. So Netflix has responded to
this and said nobody will be smoking or our movies PG.
Thirteen or below will be smoking and e cigarette free

(58:32):
dot dot dot, except for reasons of historical infectual accuracy. Uh, well,
it's accurate. Yeah, So, I mean it is accurate, and
it does I do feel like with Stranger Things, like
a whole big chunk of that show is that it
like it feels like a movie that you just like
pulled off of VHS and like put In that was

(58:53):
made in the eighties. Like it's not just it's not
just set in the eighties. It feels like it was
like made the like the special effects are made to
look like they were made in the eighties. Uh. And
if you go back and watch like Ghostbusters, dan Acrods
just walking around with a cigarette in his mouth and
one scene for no reason, he's just like, well we're

(59:14):
in a library, better light up a cigarette, you know
how we do. Did you ever what was the first
depiction of smoking you saw that you thought it was cool?
Because I can remember one round, oh, the one that
comes to mind right now, but this is definitely not
the first. Was like one that pulp fiction made it
look cool. Uh, that dude from Dead Presidents who smoked

(59:36):
through his mouth and then inhaled it through his nose.
Those Yeah, and then Bruce Willis in uh die Hard
smoking a cigarette. I always think of John Travolta and
Broken Arrow. There's a way he smoked a cigarette, Like
the way he got his fucking fingers around. I was like, yo,
he's finesse in that he's doing with that. Yeah, and

(59:56):
then I remember the first time I was smoking a cigarette.
I've had the picture of John Travolta him broken Air, right,
that would make him so happy to hear I know
I've been No one's ever said that. Yeah, right, hey man,
You're the reason I'm all wacky because I think definitely
like Slash was the first thing I saw, because he
would just like Shredd guitar solos with the cigarette, a

(01:00:17):
lit cigarette dangling out of his mouth, which is like, yeah,
that was pretty cool. Uh, anyways, kids, do you have
any memories like them? No, I was just saying, but
you know what's interesting is that I've never been a smoker,
So maybe that's like if I did have a memory
of something that was super cool, me, what puts you?
What kept you from ever smoking? Um? I think my

(01:00:37):
parents did. My mom specifically did a real good job
about scaring me about rugs and anything like that, which
is why I now fucking google like, does baby bill
cheese right right right right? It will give you weird dreams.
Cheese before bed, certain cheeses before bed will sounds like
a challenge. Yeah, it sounds like propaganda for big tobacco. Yeah,

(01:01:02):
tobacco will calm health, have cool ass fantasy. Yeah you'll
dream or flying. Um, but I did. I did like
my smoke when I drank or whatever in college. And
the truth is, I fucking hate the It is so harsh. Yes,
so I could only smoke parliaments or like silk cuts,

(01:01:25):
So it was so unpleasant to me that it just
didn't stay really long. Good for you. It's gross, Yeah,
it is gross. Meanwhile, I got mine cooked by John Travolta, right, yeah,
really Yeah, And it's such a weird movie. Yeah, I
was gonna say that it was John who I think.
I think it was like one of his first films,
and Slater, the other Samantha Mathis and How We Long,

(01:01:47):
Damn and and some other dude. I remember he gets
a fucking maglight across his throat. He's just like marks
the duty he's And I was like, Yo, the fucking
big gass metal flashlight that cops carry. Oh yeah, and
it kills him. Yeah, he this dude is his mouthing off. Yeah,
this is in my mind, he's mouthing off, so he
deserves to die, Like John is just fucking It's just

(01:02:09):
he's actually shined it at him. No, no, no, no, no,
he's just just no, it's just blunt forest trauma to
the dude's windpipe. And I was like, Yo, smoke a cigarette.
So weird to think of John cool now? Yeah, now
I think of him and he's so cool in pulpiction.
But I had that same thought, and I was like, Wow,

(01:02:31):
that's so weird that he was cool like that recently,
because he's so strange. Also, is that gang hit us
up with what your images of cool tobacco? You sir?
That stuck in your mind, because I can't be the
only person who just goes row. I'm sure there's people
have their own versions, like my grandpa working on a lawnmower. Um. Well,

(01:02:52):
we can also be fairly certain that Netflix doesn't give
a shit about that study that they said they were
gonna look at and respond to, because last bring, the
same watchdog group issued an almost identical report, and Netflix
claimed they were quote interested to find out more about
the study. So they yeah, yeah, we're yeah, our president.

(01:03:16):
So the report came out in March. Stranger Things season
three didn't start production until the end of April. Uh,
and they just filled that ship with cigarettes. Move Yeah,
Like in one scene, uh, Finn wolf Hard is smoking
eight cigarettes at once. Everything else I'm on board. He

(01:03:38):
called himself smoke holio. Yeah, doing that the Dennis Leary
thing where you splits around his head, isn't that ull
stalled Bill? Oh? That is the dice man. Bill Hicks
also did something with cigarettes on stage that Dennis Leary

(01:03:58):
basically still Lauren, it has been such a pleasure having
you here on a pleasure secast. Where can people find you?
Follow you, listen to you? Sure on Twitter? I'm at
Lauren Flann's and my podcast is at coming out pot
across all the platforms. You don't, guys, we straight people
listen to us to want to put that out there?

(01:04:19):
Why do they listen? That's if I am straight, can
I also listen? You sure can, Bud, Thanks for sending
me up like that. I like how lit. That's that's
always like a thing, very like mindful slash scared podcast
listeners are. It's like, I am not this demographic if
I listen. The reason when we started we very consciously

(01:04:41):
wanted to have a sense of humor about self because
a lot we're we know a lot of a lot
of woke queer stuff can be a little little preachy sometimes,
so we have a sense of humor. I'm always I'm
always shocked at the number of straight listeners we do have.
Um and is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Yeah,

(01:05:02):
that's a lot of the ones I've been really into
are all of the women's the US women's soccer team.
Obviously good stuff going on there, but there was one.
There was one about penguins and I find this penguin
tweet pegs hanging. Maybe it was about panging penguins and penguins.

(01:05:22):
Um that was a reference to what's Benedict Cumberbatch and
his complete inability to say we're penguin. Also, do people
ever ask you, like who your show is for? Like
what the demographic is? People ask me that. I think
it's like businessmen are like, oh, what's your demo? Like?
Who do you go? I don't know people who like
dope ship exactly. No, but my I mean my podcast

(01:05:46):
is called coming Out with Lauren and Nicole, so still pretty.
I mean, you get it. Sorry, I'm scrolling past all
of my my women's soccer likes. Here we go. This
is uh Anna Dresen tweet at the Yeah big Fan.
I think penguins are spot on. I have no notes
for penguins. Flawless, effortless design, story, humor, forward motion, cohesiveness,

(01:06:11):
A triumph of a bird. I'm sorry, A triumph of bird. Yeah, triumphant.
She wrote for me very briefly. At Craft is one
of the most lovely and talented people I ever met.
I don't know her personally, but I enjoy her on
Twitter and I love a good penguin tweet. Who doesn't.

(01:06:31):
There was a tweet somebody, I'll have to find it
but it was somebody was like wondering if they go
all the way down like that color like a eraser penguins. Anyways,
I nailed it, Miles. Where can people find you? I'm
still trying to figure out what you just said. You
can find me and follow me on Twitter and Instagram.
Some tweets I like. One is from the Tigno Taro account,

(01:06:54):
but she has other comedians using it, and this one
is from Steph McCann at, so it's from the Tigno
orow handle, but the comedian who wrote it is Steph
McCann at Steph Underscore m c c A uh was
I can't believe I got kicked out of another bachelorette
party for drinking one glass of wine and screaming, which
one have you designed? These tank tops? What on earth
is this font? Because I don't know. As someone who

(01:07:19):
sees a lot of bachelor parties, I feel like there's
always some fucking like brod tribe, which is like keep
that tribe ship away, uh, like Matrimony Squad. There's always
some weird and it's always in gold. Its gold on white.
Come on, now, we have a full spectrum of colors.
We couldn't reasonly like wear one of her rotted off

(01:07:42):
her body. Um. And then another one is from Mary
Sasson at Mary Sasson Esa ss N. It says single
man's bathroom checklist quote bath matt that's been damped for
five years, single ply toilet paper roll with one square
sitting on the toilet paper holder, no hand soap, crumpled
article of clothing on the floor, dried shaving cream and

(01:08:05):
hair coating the sink. It was just a fucking haunting. Yeah.
I've been so many like the bath mat that's been
damped for five years, like just shook me to my core. Yeah,
well then I grew up. Then I'd write it off. Uh.
Some tweets have been enjoying after the earthquake many days ago.

(01:08:28):
Now and director tweeted, guys, unfortunately I have to cancel
tomorrow's grand opening of my glass dildo shop. Brandon Scott Wolf.
Indie Darling tweeted the Spider Man Far from Home review
really throws two kids ufter the b it's just this
review from I think I'm guessing it is like I AMDB,

(01:08:51):
we really enjoyed this movie. We have a hard time
choosing movies that appealed to my husband and I, our
seventeen year old son parentheses who's kind of geeky, and
our fifteen year old daughter who desperately wants to be
twenty and cool. This movie had something for everyone, a
lot of action, some romance, and very relatable, well developed
cards like the fired the brief aside to ship all

(01:09:12):
over your child, you know, but that's a parent who's
not getting there. They're like, damn't love me. They're like
little assholes, right, and so then they want to clap back.
That's the audience for the luk who's talking a bit. Yeah,
just that woman. Um uh. You can find me on

(01:09:56):

in this one the ride. Actually it's funny. There is
no Luber in it. Fun yeah, but there their unions
are too fucking they have they have they have taxis
or as we call them taxis. But this is the track.
Actually I was just it was funny, like this was

(01:10:18):
like in a random playlist. It happens to be Italian artist,
but it sounded like like seventies version of like Tame
Apollo kind of thing. It's kind of like a sort
of psych rocky thing from the seventies and it happens
to be Italian. Yes, so perfect overlap. This is my
