Speaker 1 (00:00):

high over eyes. Who that is snarky day sad. I
am moved that that was the a K that I

(00:41):
was going to do yesterday, and then Miles just brought
the heat and I was like, I can't. I can't
do that. That is too good. You can't have to
fire a ks on the same day. Anyways, I am
thrilled to be joined by today's co host. Uh he is,
Mr Miles. Yeah, we never adapted that from last week.

(01:27):
and that one is from Igor kickas on Twitter. Uh
and I Jack and I were talking. I don't know
if I should ever just do ak again after you

the line yesterday and blacked out and then had my
my guts ripped out later in the day. Anyway, but yeah, hi,
I'm loving being here again. Hey, today's co host welcome,

(01:48):
Thank you so much. Hey, and we are thrilled to

Jamie Loft a little damn guys, the hosts of Spectel.

(02:12):
It's us. We're good, thanks for having We're excited to
have you. Tame Jamie has for your sunglasses that are
so upsetting. This is not I'm not wearing anything. This
is actually a pretty aggressive way. I think you stole

(02:33):
something from the wardrobe truck on the movie Swordfish. I
just feel so insecure about all my passwords now. I
just hope that no one has distracted through by the
tiniest ever been inducted into the world. There is no
doubt that you could hack into the mainframe right now
with a gun to your head. Oh yeah, if you're
listening to this audio file. You have seven days to live.

(02:56):
Password has been compromised. It's buckethead of the Hey guys,
what's something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are as a joined human beings? Yes? Sorry, mine
is tiny sunglasses in bolk o. No, because you like

(03:17):
so much? Because I just done do this hacker show
and I was like, what if everyone was wearing tiny
sunglasses that I can't It's not my tax bracket I
can aspire to be. Are you sure? I feel like
you could find like a like an Ali Baba, kind
of like mass producer out of China. I gotta I
gotta hack someone's bank account. Why is like Paul Ryan's

(03:39):
bank account? Why were three hundred pairs of tiny sunglasses
and a bunch of tica masala and diaper's charge to
Paul ryan bank account in diapers and diapers for when
you also done with the Yeah, I thought you were
eating anyway. That's Caitlin. I'm sure you have the same
thing and you are searches. Just move on. What else

(04:01):
do you have? I have a friend sort of relevant
because I recently searched for coded coded gay Disney villains,
coded gay Disney villains who are coded gay. Scar basically
all of them hates Yeah, I mean Ratigan from my

(04:28):
favorite Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. What's the Deep Cut?
His name was Ratigan, Ratigan. Yeah, What's a Great Mouse Detective.
It's the best Disney movie of all time? Six it's
a Sherlock Holmes adaptation where there's a mouse and yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember these motherfucker's here. There's computers in it, so

(04:49):
it's not really great. There's nothing to be although he
does have to hack a mystery. It's like an analog hack,
doesn't It start from the premise that there is a
like two scale model of London underneath London, built by yeah,
little London, mice London. It's a great movie for you guys.

(05:12):
That was dumb of mice to do the exact same thing,
or just brilliant or anything. Whoever built London got the
idea from the mice. Guys. What is something you think
is overrated? I think Scarlett Johansson is overrated. I think

(05:35):
I'm on board for that. Well, here's specifically why I
say this. Today it was just announced that she will
play a transman in an upcoming movie called Rub and
tug that's also Asian whitewashed. Yeah, what's the movie? What

(05:55):
is it about? It's about I might be getting some
of this wrong, but it's about like this chain of
massage parlors in Pittsburgh. I forget from what era that, Like,
UM had ties to like gangs and like organized crime
and like all this stuff like sex worker rings things

(06:17):
like that. But UM the like leader of these massage parlers,
like the I don't know founder. Um was a trans
man and Scarlette Johansson was cast to play that role.
When you think about it, like Oscar Bait, roles really
are just like famous actors being like whose narrative can
I co opt to get a trophy? Now that's so

(06:38):
often the case. Yeah, I think I think the mental
organizations overrated. Wow, sorry, so have we? I don't think
we've announced since you were last on. But you are gregnant.
I am six months gregnant, excluding what that means being
six months regnant. Being six months gregnant basically means that

(07:00):
six months ago that you're in me. Now, I hacked
a greg there's little zeros and ones could inside of
me and now and then I hacked time. So that's
the six months and Also, I got into Mensa literally
right after I left the studio on Thursday. That's incredible.

(07:21):
So you are a mansum ember and they lowered the standards.
I've done a lot of researchers, but so yeah, anyone
can do it. And I mean anyone can do it.
I mean anyone could do it if you have to
be pretty smart, Jamie, come on, I mean, I have
to have a collection of pretty wild sunglasses. I think
the smaller to glasses, the higher your trances car of

(07:44):
getting in. But it's it's so far, it's been very boring.
They offered me a discount on Geico car insurance and
I don't have a driver's license, so so far pretty
pretty being minced was a Geico discount joining triple Should
we get married so that I can use Yeah, yeah,
someone has to be able to use that. So far,

(08:05):
it's just been uh embarrassing. I would love to just
see a video of you going around the city and
then trying to flex, like to get like discounts on
things like at a subway. You're like, I'm actually in Mensa,
so what I get free? Mannase actually have to give
me a jar of mannaise because I'm really in mensa,

(08:27):
I'm just going to go around the city try to
get free. Man. Sure that sounds about your speed. But
so to get into mensa, you took a test, yea,
and yeah, you you hacked mensa is kind of the
the idea I had to have. I just don't see
how it would have been possible for me to pass
the test considering the circumstances. But but but I did.

(08:51):
What do you mean considering the circumstances? Well, this I
was very uncomfortable the whole time because it was just
like me and this like really uh B czar test
proctor who was like, I like to fix organs, like
his his whole thing was like I fixed organs. I
used to be an engineer. Now I fixed organs. And
then I was trying to get him to be my friend,

(09:12):
and I was like, oh, this seems really cool, and
he's like, yeah, well if you get in. Well he
was he was nagging me. And then I was like,
I'll show this organ guy. Are you going to be
able to rub it in his face? Oh? I already
emailed him and rub did it. And then that's a
picture of me in tiny glasses. You should be like,

(09:35):
I have this organ I need work on. You should
come over and then he comes in you in the
room giving him the finger with like what oh sorry,
what's something you guys think is underrated? My thing? I
don't know if this is so much underrated as it
is just like not well known that I want to
tell people about. It's a web series called The Gay

(09:57):
and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo. You guys know it,
I don't. It's great. It's so funny, and I just
realized all of the things, all of my like over rated,
underrated searchers or things are something having to do with
queer culture. So what is he used to be pride?
Last month? Everyone? Well this month, well we'll get into
what this month became one town of California. Way. So

(10:21):
where is the web? Is just on YouTube? You just
find it on YouTube. It's created by UM Brian Jordan Alvarez.
How did you catch UM? I had a few different
friends who recommended it to me, and I think it's
only five or six episodes long, but it's like super
funny UM and yeah, highly recommend check it out. Is
it new or is it from like the era when

(10:41):
web series or being because I feel like that nowadays
when you hear web series, it's like tough to like here,
like to even know where you know everybody has a
web series, so it's a couple of years old, it
was like cool peak web series exactly, Jamie, What's something
you think is underrated? Are the people from mensa who

(11:03):
email You have gotten maybe twelve emails in the past
twenty four hours from various MENSA members with various takes
on me being in MENSA. Uh so. One that I
particularly liked was but from someone named Johnny Vaughn who
basically said Mensa's great. He made a list and itemized

(11:24):
list of five things, but my favorite one was He's
like mensa is like free therapy. If you're feeling down
and out visited gathering, you're guaranteed to see people more
socially awkward or screwed up than yourself. Bad hair day,
there's someone with worse hair and you can find them
in MENSA. I do not doubt that bad ZiT day.
Guaranteed you can find a meeting where you will still

(11:47):
be the Miss America of the room. So shouts out
Johnny von for being like everyone is in mental looks
like absolutely you can feel better about yourself, hang out
with them. Take to look at the free show where
there are meetings. Mentally like has regular meetings where people

(12:07):
just hang out with other MENTU members. Yeah, scoff at books.
But I don't know. I mean I got access to
like this secret calendar which I will leak to you
right now. There's an event happening a week from today
that I'm definitely going to called tooth Tuesday. No information
written about what it is, just tooth Tuesday and an address.

(12:30):
So it's got like a real real secret society. But
you're going to be playing like poker where use like
teeth as chips. I'm gonna pull my tooth out at
something exactly. They're like entry fee your molders. It's just
a way less ambitious skull and cross buns. They're like,
we have one tooth your mouth teeth? Uh, guys, what's

(12:51):
a meth your mouth mouth teeth as I call my teeth. What?
What is a myth? What's something you guys know to
be false that people think is true? Um? I never
I always struggle with this one every time I come
on the show, and so I think, in keeping with
my theme of struggling, but today's theme of um queer culture.

(13:14):
Uh you know the myth that um queer people are vampires.
That's not true? Yeah, I know. I hate that one.
Yeah yeah, So I'm here to dispel. Are you sure?
You know what? I'm not sure because I was reading
this blog Ted Hickman dot com and I feel like

(13:35):
he has some good ideas on there. Uh. My myth
is that Gollum from Lord of the Rigs isn't like,
isn't he No, he's not He's speaking. Caitlin and I

(14:01):
and Sophie watched all three Lord of the Rings for
an upcoming episode hot Plug the other day, and I
think the call is cute. And I also think that
if you French kiss call him, his tongue would be
so strong it could knock your tooth out, and then
you'd have admission for your What do you think when

(14:22):
you look at Sniegel? What do you see? Tell me?
What when you look upon this creature of passion? I
think you have to hear him talk to realize how
cute is. He's cute. He's got like longish hair that's
gives fourteen hairs. I think there's something like a child

(14:42):
like about him. Cute in that way, not necessarily in
a way that makes me picture, you know, French kiss.
Give him. Honestly, if he had a different if he
wore clothes, I think I would funk with Sniegel. Yeah.
The fact that he's just out here in the one cloth,
I'm like, bro, yeah, go bite on your whole fish
somewhere else, taking an old navy him, a little date bucket, bucket,

(15:08):
tidy sunglasses. Like, did you guys hear Sniegel's dating a
local hacker? Then he just looks like a regular gin
drinking DJ. He's cute. You need to get into a
major media publication described as local hacker jet. That needs

(15:29):
to happen. Uh. All right, let's talk about fast food miles,
Let's talk Sniegel. Let's talk Sniegel. Uh. Well, yes, High
Times as or as I call it, the Bible. Uh.
They declared Taco Bell as the perfect stoner restaurant. Uh.
And that's based off they use this whole a scale

(15:51):
of of grading a restaurant on their menu, the convenience,
the environment, and food quality. Taco Bell scored a forty
out of fifth, putting them above Denny's and Little Caesar's.
Now Ey, Caesar's doesn't seem like it would be on
the list necessary I would have expected, like Wendy's before
Little Sea. Jack in the Box seems to be the

(16:13):
one that most I don't really I think that because
Jack in the Box national, you know what I mean?
Tebow is everywhere, uh whereas, But I mean Little Caesar's
come on, you walk in, you got a hot ready
for five and you get that by Loco, that crazy
bread brove like culture around Little Caesars that there is

(16:34):
around Taco about like no one like loiters there, No
one throws up at Little Caesar's. And that's what I'm looking.
But I don't know. I shout at Taco Beout because
out of home of these to work there on the
one on Venturns from an Oaks. You if you pulled
up after eleven, you're like, yo' it's me. He would

(16:55):
hook you up all free food because he hated his manager.
Uh And like the app caramel apple and panada love it? Yes,
I love the krame apple. Yes at Taco Oh it's
not just cinnamon twists, my man, but it also is
cinnamon cinnamon twists. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

(17:17):
How people feel about Taco bell I. It's it's so
disgusting to me that I love it. Wait, what is
everyone's order like at Taco bell Oh, I only I'm
such a weird person. I only get I eat a
lot of mex amounts which aren't there like at the
bottom of the nun fine print. It's like a bygone thing.
It's basically a soft It's like a soft tortilla with
just meat, cheese and tomato, which is it's like a

(17:40):
little bit short of being a Taco supreme or a
supreme soft taco or the spicy chicken caudilla, and that's it. Yeah,
those only things I work with. Never eat hard tacos there.
Spicy chicken que sedilla is one of mine. And grilled
stuffed burrito extra time on the grill too special order

(18:00):
because it yeah, it just makes it. Sometimes it'll be
a little undercooked if you don't request that, but that
makes sure that it's like very crispy. What about you.
I do the beefy five layer meal that comes with
chippies and a blast Baba Blast is peak hack or beverage.

(18:22):
It's basically battery acid. It'll make your gums bleed. Yeah,
that is only available to talk about. I think when
the grills stuff burrito came out. Was also around the
time Baja Blast came out. And I was playing a
hockey game, high school hockey game, and I was with
my friend Nick. We were driving back to try this thing.
And it's the one time I deviated from what I
normally get a taco bell. We got a fucking car

(18:43):
accident right after spilled the Baja Blast all over his
fucking car, his mom's car. It was blast caused the accident. No, no, no,
we were just driving just like and it's like boom.
People's team orders are very Yeah. Well, I'm afraid to
say that I almost never go to taco bells. That's fine,

(19:05):
you don't have in order. But I will say that
I do have a She's gone rouge. I do have
a British friend named British Martha who loves taco bell
because I don't think any, if not many, or any
taco bells in England. So she was when she lived
abroad here in the US, was very excited. I would

(19:27):
go with her sometimes. British Smartha sounds like an alter
ego when you drink. Friend British she loves. I don't
know what you're talking about, gallant. Yeah, oh my goodness,
pretty this is okay interesting accent does Would you say

(19:49):
that the stoner restaurant scale translates to the drunk restaurant scale?
Are they pretty much one to one? Because I don't know,
you know it because stoner's you got to think of
like when you really really get like the munchies. You probably,
at least when I was younger, I had no cash,
so I would be like, yo, flip the fucking couch,
what kind of fucking coins can we find? Or whatever?

(20:12):
And then you want to take that to you know,
it's more about probably quantity over quality. Yeah. Well, when
I'm drunk though, yeah, put away a lot of food.
I used to eat a lot too. I don't know.
I guess it's probably is similar. Maybe we need to
find what that. I guess to me, obviously, the menu
matters when you're drunk, convenience matters. Environment not so much.

(20:32):
I don't think when you're drunk, environment not a big
deal because you'll eat a half a pizza next to
a rotting corps on a freeway overpast and you're hungry enough. Yeah,
Miles has pictures of him doing this very thing. That's
me being Sniggle, but with a corpse leg. I think

(20:54):
the main difference might be that you just don't care
about spending money when you're drunk. So yeah, you'll just
like spend all your mon Yeah, because then you'll be
like remember the Jack in the box you get the
two tacos for a dollar, You'd be like, yo, I
can get tacos from surprising. I feel like I'm more
likely to do like Postmates tica when I'm drunk than
when I'm high. High. For some reason, you are going

(21:16):
for like a cheaper I don't know. Why is that?
I don't know, because we'd cost more than booze which
try just to clarify Tica in diapers, right, yeah, on
the that's my custom order please. Um, that's interesting you
bring up Postmates? Yes, it is interesting? What way? Uh so, Miles,

(21:41):
Jessica Simpson is back in the news again. Uh and
she's the goat she is. She is now officially a
patron saint of something here at the Daily like the
Queen of Postmates, the Queen of Delivery. She it has
been rumored told to Radar Online, which we're discussing. Radar
Online is still a gossip you know website, but it's

(22:04):
a step above American media inc Like the Bloyd's that
we talk about on Fridays. Like they aren't written by
a close friend of Donald Trump in the voice of
Donald Trump. Uh. They just seem to use the same
sort of journalistic techniques where they have unnamed sources. But
I feel like stuff that they report eventually gets confirmed

(22:26):
about half the time. So um, and this is I
think somewhat believable. This is good. They're reporting that she
has spent one thousand dollars on Postmates in one month
because she does not leave the house. And that is
tight to me because if I had my way, I
would just be sitting down and have everything brought to
me constantly, like the boy king that I believe myself

(22:49):
to be. See. I find this to be horrifying because
if you have one thousand dollars a month to spare
and you're just spending it on yourself in eating, I'm
getting I don't even how do you spend a hundred
thousand dollars in a month on like food? And so
this is what they say. Insiders revealed to Radar exclusively.
Simpson thirty seven and her former NFL player Hubby Eric

(23:12):
Johnson thirty eight have quote nothing to do that's such
detail to so they spend all their time together with
the kids drinking and eating. Quote it's been a cycle
of eating and drinking. Source. Isn't that just life? Though?
They just don't want to leave the well. She has
so much money from her Jessica Simpson fashion Empire, sold

(23:34):
exclusily the Cole's, Macy's wherever finer wears her pedal. Yeah,
I wonder she's still getting royalties from newlyweds. Oh, I wonder, classic,
I wonder how. I just think that you have that
much money to spare and you're not like donating it
to good causes and you're just like spending it all

(23:54):
on yourself. Yes, of course, so I use it as
a joke, but we don't know, like hung there hungry
and she has and she could also be giving money,
you know, outside of this A hundred k. Maybe she's
doing a thousand dollar tips every time, that's true. Yeah,
maybe she's stealing from the rich a k herself. I

(24:18):
used to be a posts Maze driver for a few
months when I first moved yeah, I mean I drove
for a Postmate and did you and did you ever
make a delivery to Jessica Simpson. I certainly did not know.
You wouldn't know, though, because I think she wears like
a whole outfit to try and she's got a hacker disguis,
like it's kind of similar to like what I'm wearing today.
All right, We're going to take a quick break to

(24:39):
contemplate a hundred thousand dollars of Postmates orders. Uh, and
then we'll be back right after that. And we're back
and quick. We wanted to check in with the international scene.

(25:02):
What's going on with North Korea? First of all, because
Mike Pompeo is traveling back to North Korea at the
end of this week, I think on Thursday, to meet
with you know, diplomats there to continue the conversation that
started a month ago between Kim Young un and President
Donald Try. Does he need to go back? It's been settled.

(25:25):
Donald Trump's just didn't handshakes. I'm sorry, was that not fixed?
So you know, if you stopped paying attention at that point,
if you were like, hey, you said, we don't have
to pay attention anymore. So, so thank you, done and done. Uh.
Every expert on the subject thinks that President Trump is
either being like willfully obtuse because he knows that you know,

(25:50):
just saying it's done with is good for business and
good for his approval ratings, or he has like legitimately
been tricked by North Korea and people aren't sure which
one it is because he keeps referring back to the
fact that like, he's like I met him, I shook
his hand, I looked in his eyes. We have like
a close personal bond. I believe him. Uh. And then

(26:12):
you know, there was satellite footage last week that shows
that they have continued just with that unimpeded to upgrade
their nuclear facilities on like both coasts. Their main nuclear
facility is still like fully operational. Um, so Pompeio is
headed over there to basically ask them, Yeah, the guys

(26:36):
excuse me, like someone anoun so. So part of the
issue is nobody really knows what has been promised, like
what Trump promised him, because they like the meat of
the deal is being carried out like some sort of
like golf course handshake thing where he's just like I
looked him in the eye. Were cool, we understand each other,

(27:00):
rather than the traditional way, which would be you know,
pouring over a document like the incredibly important legal contract
that it is. Uh so people like don't know what
each side is like as it is, we have a
you know, page and a half double space war document
full of like vaguely defined terms. One of them is

(27:22):
total d nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, which Trump clearly
thinks means they will get rid of their nuclear weapons,
but it has like every North Korea expert is like, no,
they have used that phrase for decades every to mean
that the US has to remove their nuclear umbrella from
the region that protects your pan and South Korea. It's

(27:42):
like it's the last thing, like the last step on
their list, and so he agreed to the very last thing,
like they're the biggest ask that they had on their list.
He was like, yeah, sure, So I don't know. It's well,
we'll see how the Pompeo meeting goes. I think there's
a very plausible timeline now that you know, she jimping

(28:06):
came to mar Lago last year. They were reportedly floored
by how basic Trump's understanding of international relations were, and
then North Korea is in this war of words with
him at that time, and suddenly Kim young un was like, actually,
let's be friends and set up a meeting, and he
was down because she, jimping had basically told him, Okay,

(28:28):
all you have to do is like tell this guy
he's like smart. Yeah, yeah, and he's gonna give you
everything you want. Um and so yeah, I don't know,
and they really haven't given anything up in the Americans
and stuff Korea. It's like all the small stuff where
they're like, oh, they're they're they're like ramping down the

(28:48):
anti US propagandist stuff like stuff, stuff like that's being removed.
And I guess, I guess it's a Trump like that
seems like yeshe they love us, so yeah, because he's
still like operating on the assumption that everyone is form
in their policy based on the book that was ghost
written for him like years ago. He's like, oh, the
famous diplomatic text the Art of the Deal, and that's

(29:09):
how and like Trump's never gonna do a one of
those reading deals. He's gonna do. Uh. We made eye
contact and we touched each other's skin, and therefore I
fixed the nuclear problem. What did he say this morning.
Didn't he tweet something this morning where he's like, we
would have been in a total nuclear war if it
wasn't for me. He tweeted some dumb ship this morning.

(29:29):
Probably that sounds that sounds like him someone coming. But
please this morning, I want to just start tweeting out
his demands residential someone's Twitter account. Many good, that's what
This is what he tweeted this morning. Many good conversations
with North Korea. It is going well in the meantime,

(29:52):
no rocket launches are nuclear testing in eight months. All
of Asia is thrilled. Only the opposition party, which includes
the fake news, is complaining if not for me, we
would now be at war with North Korea. So cool. Yeah,
Fox News even like there's an article on Fox News
that's saying, how can we be shocked that North Korea
went back on its word? North Korea has never kept

(30:14):
its word when it comes to any atomic agree Like
they're writing the same thing that he that he says,
the opposition party is writing like everybody is in agreement.
And that's the one thing Fox couldn't really come around
except like Hannity and like Tucker Carlson, but everyone else
is like, no, this did. The handshake didn't solve this problem,
and it was really foolish to even think it was so.

(30:36):
In addition to the Pompeo meeting happening on the fifth
on Thursday, uh, this is also relevant because Trump has
a meeting with another incredibly important foreign official, one Vladimir
Where about someone with a tongue strong enough to not

(30:58):
oh yeah, uh uh the new Twitter account Putin's tongue.
Uh they have. So you're saying, miles that they have
written into the schedule that there will be seven minutes
they are gonna well, basically I'm calling it Trump and
Puttin doing seven minutes in heaven on July sixteenth, because

(31:20):
there's gonna be a face to face meeting where they
will first meet one on one man versus Cheeto in
with no aids, absolutely none, and then later on the
AIGs will come in, similar to the North Korea meeting.
But what's odd about this is because when there's no
aids or whatever, that there won't be an official record

(31:41):
of what was said, and so it'll be hard to
know what agreements were made or what deal what was
spoken about. So it's very who knows what the fun
they're gonna talk about it could be putting being like, hey,
my guy, ramp up the hot rhetoric because we hacked
the mid terms two thanks to Jamie loftus or whatever.
The hackers they get, we gotta get, we gotta get
the hackers. But yeah, so again, this is like one

(32:02):
of those things too, where he met with Kim Jong
un one on one. We're not quite sure what happened
there because no one was in there to know, and
no aids were present, no diplomats were there to be like, hey,
this is a very complex thing and they're gonna be
talking about election interference, Syria, nuclear weapons, but who knows
if that's what they talk about on their one on
one I don't know, So we don't know. It does

(32:23):
seem like, for whatever reason, America's sort of international adversaries
or you know, these people that we have a lot
to lose in our interactions with, uh have seen fit
to like keep having these one on one meetings with
Trump where nobody else is around. It's probably because he's
really good at game theory and it's just them. I

(32:44):
just want to spend time with a really cool guy.
That that's so too, I mean, because there's No, there's
no like version of the world in all the infinite
ways that can go that ends well for this country.
Like it's just nothing. Yeah I don't, it's whatever. You know.

(33:06):
Fourth of July, bro, get your old baby t shirts
and break out the shandies. Baby. Yeah, we'll see what
happens again. It's very anytime I see Trump and Puttin together,
it makes my skin crawl because who knows what the
I mean. One of the grossest version is like Puttin
is just like telling him how to run ship. Uh
and another version he's just playing Donald Trump because he's

(33:27):
like just this senile, old weirdo. Uh so weird way
to describe horny nous that your skin crawls when you
see the one thing that cures my e d Trump
and put shaking him. Um So it is almost fourth
of July. Fourth of July. Tomorrow, by the way, Miles
and I and producer Rona Hosnier and super producer uh

(33:49):
Nick Stumphelophagus will be checking in with some overrated, underrated
of our own. Yeah, so you guys can look forward
to that. Mine will all be based on the So
keep that conceptual over for some hot takes on that

(34:09):
the matrix came out to hacking. Thank you. It's all connecting.
I have my little Morpheus ones that just arrest on
the bridge of my notes. That's what you need to
yeahs ingredient. Yes, but this being sort of a key
point in the summer, we wanted to check him with

(34:30):
the summer of Scott. Scott Pruett. Baby, he is on
back at it again. Uh well really we're just finding
more and more out. So this weekend we got a
trove of letters and communications from a Freedom of Information
Act request I think that the Sierra Club initiated, and
they're basically a bunch of love letters to the petro
gods like Chevron and other various climate change denying earth fuckers,

(34:55):
where Prue it is like writing sweet little nothings in
like so good to meet with you, like really had
a great time. Uh And I mean there's nothing really
tremendously surprising, But it's just when you read the letters,
you're like, oh, that's exactly how I'd imagined. Scott Pruett
is talking to these people who and most other administrators
in the ap ep E in years past would have

(35:17):
been like not writing ship like this. Does he write
letters to his own stinky mattress sadly no, although one
of them is written on a mattress tag. But we
also found out this week that he has two schedules.
There's a public one that the public obviously that we
see that so is like his official appointments that he has,
and another one that's more private where he has his

(35:39):
naughty little meetups with like problematic energy producers or like
actual sex crims like Cardinal pell who was clergy member,
who's I think about going to face the trial sometime
this year for sexual abuse. But so he would basically
have aids go through his public schedule and be like,
yoll com it for whatever is going to make me
look bad basically because he even knows she looks bad.

(36:02):
And yeah, I mean I guess normally that would be
a problem because I would be like falsifying records. But
Scott Pruitt's Google cal is open season. Yeah, he's hacked.
He's hacked our brain. Uh. And then we also found
out more because he's still trying to get short a job.
He's got his his all of his assistants full steam ahead,

(36:22):
trying to get his wife a job, but for no
less than two thousand years. She's not a peasant, okay,
because we got fucking mortgages on all these houses. So yeah,
he's just demanding. Like Samantha Dravis was one of his aids.
She I think in her testimony when she was talking
to the I think uh Ethics Committee, who was also
ex girlfriend of Rob Porter, who is the one who

(36:44):
may or may not have like leaked the info on
Rob Porter out there because this administration is so fucking messy. Uh, yes,
that she was confirming like, yeah, I had to go
look at like the Association of Attorneys General in the
US to try and get her a job somewhere. Got
her job, but less and two k. So you know,
my hearts are with them. You know, for all the
people struggling out, they're making less than two hundred thousand,

(37:06):
are they? I don't know how thousand dollars worth of
Postmates every month sustainable. That's two months. What do they
do the other ten months? Starve? I don't think so. Um.
And then along with that, they're also really there's this
other story about how he just in general is like
so cheap. He's trying to keep the optics of his

(37:26):
spending low so he'll ask like aids to use their
personal credit cards to pay for stuff. So during the transition,
he asked an aid to put a six hotel room
for his family on their personal card. And then when
they when they got their credit card bill. Uh, this
aid went to the chief of staff was like, hey,
I gotta he had me put six dollars on my
card for this hotel room, and the chief of staff
was like, sorry, the window for transition expenses has closed.

(37:50):
And so yeah, they were like, well, what the funks?
I just paid for this dude's family's hotel room. What
the funk? And then like I guess a few weeks
later something, a month, two later, six cash was like
left on her desk, right to pay for it. But like,
this is the kind of just dumb ship that this
fucking kleptocrat. Again, this man is in charge of the

(38:11):
Environmental Protection Agency, not the school scam lord whose cheapest
fuck agency? And so obviously people have an opinion on
this man because he's completely just letting companies do whatever
they want to the earth, uh and not looking out
for a future with things like climate change. Uh. So uh,
he joined the prestigious club of administrators who have been

(38:34):
confronted in public. Recently, he was confronted by a teacher
who was holding her child and she caught him at
lunch and was like, I had some few words to
say that. Then someone recorded it. Check this out. This
is my son animals who loves your Meanwhile, you're slashing

(38:59):
which pros standards, trucks for the medicine operations. Funny, you've
been paying hard while her dirty sands pipeline money. I
think who actually does protect our environment and some of
people he isn't flaning to change and keeps it seriously,

(39:22):
all of us who putting her children? Um, so I
would urge you to resign before your scandals for shure up. Yeah,
go fund yourself. Yeah if you could concise. Yeah, it's
hard to hear with every all the talking in the restaurant,
but yeah. She was basically like, Hi, you're a fucking
scumbag taking money for lobbyists. You then approved their deals,

(39:42):
you know, the laundry list of things that we always
bring up on the show. And then she was like, yeah,
I urge you to resign very politely too, And the
whole time he was just kind of man plumping his
fingers on the table like this, Oh yeah, like it's
just a video. Yeah, it's a video. Yeah, and he's
just kind of not saying anything because he's drinking oil
from a Mason char just like he's drinking oil out
of the skull of a baby seagull or something like yeah, right,

(40:06):
so yeah, we'll see. I I know that the Inspector
General who handles like a lot of ethics stuff at
the e p A, they're clearly investigating him, but you
think at this point he would be one to resign.
But I think he's doing the lord's work. And by
the lord, we mean you know, the energy company. So
has there ever been a scandal where the Inspector General

(40:28):
just like can't complete it because they keep committing crimes?
Like like, well, yeah, it's just too much crimes. I
never Yeah, I think in a in a yeah right now,
I guess because they're all in the these other stories
that they're reporting. Apparently they sort of gutted the ethics
department at the e p A when he first took

(40:49):
office by just sort of letting people retire, transition out,
and not rehiring anyone. So at one point it was
down to just one person working there and of course
when that happens, you're gonna buy tactical pants, do all
that dumb ship. So alright, tactical pants, tactical polos. All right,
we're gonna take another quick break and we'll be right back.

(41:18):
And we're back, and we have a story from the
town of Dixon, California. Their vice mayor wrote an op
ed vice mayor, not the real mayor, just the vice mayor. Right,
He wrote an OpEd where he called for straight Pride
American Month, which is a spam. Uh cool. He must

(41:45):
have thought that was cool because he's calling it spam.
I thinking it straight American Month, which month in America
would have made more sense, but he thought spam was
like a cool thing to call it. I guess. Uh.
But the the op ed is just really worth reading.
I don't know, should we just read it to people?
There's just parts of it. I mean, suffice to say

(42:06):
that if this is from insanely ignorant maybe drunk guy,
as he really seems drunk, yeah, or who knows, but yeah,
I mean, there's there are some real interesting things in
there that someone who holds public office should not be
fucking saying. And uh yeahs of parentheticals in here. Yeah,
it starts off now. Hundreds of millions of the rest

(42:28):
of us can celebrate our month peaking on July fourth,
as healthy, heterosexual, fairly monogamous. Keep our kinky stuff to ourselves, Americans.
We do it with our parades and every state and
county in this country with families celebrating together. We honor
our country and our veterans who have made all this possible,
including for the tinker bells. And we can do it

(42:49):
with actual, real pride, not some put on show just
to help our inferior complex show. We are different type
of crap good, he said. Crap, Yeah, type of complex inferiority.
That's what is funny, is like, yeah, inferior complex. Uh.
Also type of crap is just like toxic white male punctuation.

(43:12):
You just like put it anywhere to end for your
social justice call and caepernick type of crap. Just throw
type of crap there and it ends the sentence. Yeah,
we are different from them. We work, have families and babies,
we make, enjoy and love the company and marriage of
the opposite sex, and don't flount our differences. Dressing up
like fairies completely spelled yea and prancing by the thousands

(43:34):
in a parade and nearby San Francisco to be televised
all over the world. Yes, blood of San Francisco. Yeah,
this guy, if you look at his photo, it will
shock at least surprising photo you've ever has a handlebar
mustache and uh of Fedora. That literally the most flaccid
human I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. I just

(43:56):
love when people go for this, like, well, if there's pride,
how come there's a straight pride month And you're like, yeah,
every fucking day of the year when you're talking about
it's uh yeah, the culture wars man. They really have
people thinking that this is like as in your capacity
as vice mayor, Like he was trying to proclaim the
month too, what does the mayor think? The mayor was like, well,

(44:22):
I believe that it's like their first Amendment, right, blah
blah blah. It was like it was some real half
asked defense. But also not like but also I don't
believe in talking about people of our community like that.
I don't know Dixon, Uh from what I hear from
super Producer and Hosnie was familiar with the city. Uh,
it makes kind of sense for that area, right, Annah

(44:42):
the only thing they have going on in the town
is their twenty four hour Walmart. But it is twenty
four hours, okay, Well they have way to drive all
of the all of our listeners to Dixon. Imagine this
guy being like your coworker that like, that's his website
is a fucking just like his version of Twitter, where

(45:04):
he's like a bunch of one line jokes in there
that are absurd, Like what was one He's like, my
mother loves circumcisions so much she cut off all the
collars on our shirts and wouldn't let us wear turtlenext.
It's like a literal fucking quote from this guy's website,
and I mean nearly like like alternates between like font

(45:25):
styles and colors somewhere italicize, somewhere bold, and they're actually
just like tweets. But he doesn't understand the Internet. So
it's just like this fucking one post full of these
quote unquote jokes. He's like he's talking about spam. Seriously.
It sounds like a comedic genius to me. So he's something,
he's something else. So yeah, the other thing was there

(45:45):
are people who were in the comments of like I
think the website that posted or whatever. They're like, oh, well,
now we're gonna start a recall campaign and recall you.
And he's like, well, I'm up for re election in November.
And it's like, okay, so you're telling me about how
to vote you out. Don't don't bother. Don't bother. I
mean November, you can vote me out and I'll go
back to selling fireworks, which I think he does. If

(46:08):
only all like problematic white politicians were like this, like, well, actually,
here is the way for you to write. Nice try
I'm only up for re election in November. From vice
mayor or whatever the funk. That seems like a difficult
person to win an argument. I guess vice Mayor's I'm
still shout out to vice mayor. Yeah, whatever that means.

(46:30):
He goes out, so right now, if you don't want
any far rees, he misspells it the same way both times.
To expire, you can clap your hands. See I do
have a heart. I just can't type and clap at
the same time. So I had to make a hard choice,
didn't I. So like, that's what leads me to believe
that he's drunk, is the way he ends it is
like he's just like kind of spiraling off into these

(46:51):
like huckaby esque we should workshop that anyways, the firework
I have put in my asses about better saying too. Whoops,
call the fire department, the vice the vice fire not
to be confused with the vice police. Alright, it's time

(47:16):
for some sports ship Oh really? Like what so the
NBA offseason continues to be terrible for most people? Am
I right, Jamie, I know what you're talking about. To
Marcus Cousins, rather than continuing to build the Lakers into
a third power in the NBA, signed with the side

(47:39):
that's already winning, the Golden State Warriors. Nobody's happy about it. Uh.
Jon Rondo did sign with the Lakers. I hate him
from his time with the Celtics, but he is an
avid roller skater and there are sick videos of him
roller skating like that's how he blows steam up. And
he is like bounced rock skate school like roller skating

(48:01):
no way, A very odd to see for someone with
such broad shoulders and gigantic hands. He is known for
having called a riff a homophobic slur during a game,
and one of the reporters from the city where he's
coming from, New Orleans. He said, my lasting impression of
Rondo came in locker room scrum after Anthony Davis, the

(48:24):
best player on Rondo's team last year, I had fifty
three points. First the Sun's me. You've played with and
against a lot of great players in your career, Ragion.
Can you put into perspective what Anthony Davis is doing
right now? Rondo? What you want me to do? Suck
him off? Reporter? Uh? Okay, wow, not to put Boston

(48:44):
athletes in a bucket, but that does sound like a
Boston athlete. Yeah. Oh well, welcome to the Lakers. Get
your ship together. But really, what we really need to
talk about is the what the World Cup day? Wow?

(49:06):
I love this. So cool that you guys had laser
lights installed just for that machine. Oh yeah, we should
have gave a warning to anyone in the studio. That's uh,
we all just took shots. Uh so wow. What a
few days Yesterday Japan played Belgium. Uh, and I had

(49:27):
my fucking guts ripped out at Japan ranked number sixty one,
played honorably against the number three team in the world, Belgium.
We went up two goals to nothing in the second half,
and I was on uh Cloud eight nine, Cloud nine,
and then suddenly Belgium just kind of showed their superior talent. Uh.

(49:50):
There was a looping header from yan ver tongin that
I still don't know what happened, and we lost tragically
three two and the end. But Japan in und they
stuck it up. It was Scott done. It was fucking
really close. It was really close, and I really thought
we were about to do something. But again we fought

(50:11):
very honorably as we must, you know, talk everything in
my word culture. It sounds very honorably. The Samurai five blue,
Samuri five very honorably, and also shot us to the
Japanese fans picking up after themselves and they stands after
every game like just cleaning up the area, because you know,
that's how the team cleaned up their locker room and
left to thank you. Note in Russians they wrote in cyrillic, yeah,

(50:34):
so you know we have good manners. So you were
on Cloud nine and then Belgium put you on cloud
That would make more sense. How do you say that
in Flemish? So unchinge my job for that egg. So
there is that. Then this morning Sweden and Switzerland played

(50:57):
in a kind of not very interesting match Sweden Varya
blond game, although Switzerland is a pretty pretty diverse team.
But yes, that's fine. What the more interesting news is
we found out today that John Obie mckel who is
the captain of the Nigerian national team, so in the
last group stage match against Argentina where they lost two
to one to Argentina, Uh, he basically found out hours

(51:21):
before the match that his father was kidnapped and they
told him we will shoot him if you tell anybody
that he's kidnapped. Will just run that ransom money and
he'll be good, but don't say shit. So he basically
carried that with him into the last group stage match,
didn't tell a single person because he didn't want to
distract the team going into their final group game. If

(51:41):
they had just drew one to one, Nigeria would have advanced.
But tragically, I mean, yes, he had to play with
all this on his mind. His father was released, the
police got him out, but he was like tortured and
is actually in the hospital. Uh. And it's it's not
even the first time his dad has been kidnapped. So
that's a why old wold story from the World Cup.

(52:02):
You really don't know what some of these players are
thinking about when they're playing, And this man was finding
out hours before his father was kidding, how did I
didn't watch the game? How did he play? Could you
tell it maybe like affected him? I didn't watch him
that closely because I just sort of caught the highlights,
But I don't think I mean, he was weeping openly
the whole game. I don't know if that affected his
play much. Yeah, I mean he they said, he basically

(52:26):
what it sounds like, he just pulled it. He just
pulled it together as much as he could. Uh So,
I mean, yeah, it's it's kind of a shitty story,
but yeah, it's it's the World Cup has more storylines
than just winners and losers like that. So yes, John
Willy McKell, hope your dad recovers fine. And also, you know,
let's maybe get more brawlic security detail your parents or something. Yeah,

(52:50):
email me, you'll hack you'll hack it. Yeah. And finally,
the feel good story that we're all clinging to for
dear life. Uh Like some of the characters in the story,
the Thai soccer team that was presumed dead when they
went missing inside a cave for ten days, uh, inside

(53:12):
a cave that flooded. Uh, and we're found I think yesterday,
um or the day before by a diving team that
was just like going, you know, swimming around exploring this
cave seeing if they can find anyone, you know. So
they brought them food. They brought them freshwater. Uh, not food.
Actually they're bringing them like those gels that runners eat,
because that's like, yeah, you can't like bring a pizza

(53:35):
underwater to them. So they're like just bringing they eat
what wait, what they eat? Just like it's basically yeah,
it's like just like calories, gel form, it's like yeah,
health health, Yes, it's people. Um. But it's now being
reported that because the caves are so flooded h and

(53:59):
won't be unflooded for months because it's the rainy season,
they will either have to learn to dive like the
ragtag group of underdogs that they are, or wait for
the water to recede. It would be months yes, from
I don't this. I mean, like I said, we need
to option the funk out of this. Uh. These kids
doing just like they're diving classes in the little puddle

(54:22):
area they have, and they're like I can't even imagine
because the water visibility, it's not like it's water right,
like it's like mud. It's like brown water. And also
the question I have is if they're in a cave
where like there is no sunlight, like animals that live
inside caves, they do, Yeah, they evolved to not have
eyes because you just like there's no point in having

(54:43):
eyes because there it's like such a complete that there's
no point have there just like smooth up because yet
why would I have them? So that that was something
that I like, yesterday I was I was saying, the
coach kind of sucked up by get lost in the cave.

(55:05):
But think about this, for the past nine to ten days,
he's been in pitch dark with twelve kids on like
this tiny patch of sloping dirt, and he managed to
keep them all alive where like nobody could see literally
anything like that pretty I don't know, or maybe the
kids were like keeping him alive and he was just like,
oh so bad. But it's still I don't know, Like

(55:31):
when those people came up, not only hadn't they spoken
with anybody besides themselves, they hadn't like seen anything. They've
just been like complete darkness. That's got to be so disoriented. Yeah,
I hope at the very least, you know, just like PlayStations, Sony,
like put a care package together, bring him that PlayStation
a little light like a living room set up. Like. Look,
I know it's probably a taller to get you guys

(55:52):
to become expert diverse through low visibility water, but we
got this. PS four new games got out a war.
Yeah that you would think that like an expert diver
would be able to hold them and swim out. But
I guess tandem isn't there, like a small like submarine,
like just like yeah, like, surely there's some Clearly I

(56:15):
think it must be there, Like the crevices are so
small or something that they can't That's probably why they
have to bring power gel and not you know, taco
bell or whatever to them. I got it again, don't
don't play in caves, right, the simple lesson we all learned. Uh,
you guys, it's been so fun joining our podcasts together. Yeah,
