Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season one, fifteen, Episode
one of Daily Like Guys production of I Heart Radio.
This is the podcast where we take a deep dive
into America's share consciousness and say, officially, off the top,
fuck the Koch Brothers and they're Coke Industries and Fox
News dangerous. It's Monday, January six. Were gonna say, two, Jamie,

(00:25):
what do you did you see those? Barbara? Yeah, it's
my name is Jack O'Brian. Okay, hey's like gang your
daddy's home. He's not going to leave you all alone
thinking about this dolfuster fire. Oh I'm Jack O'Brien. That

(00:48):
is courtesy of Milk Swagger, and I'm thrilled to be
joined by my special guest co host, Jamie Loft, and
we all say, oh, well, I never was ever a freak.
I guess I clever, res magic, little Zamboney do do do?
That's if you haven't seen cats, Oh I've never heard it.

(01:13):
You've got It's it's wild to me that you have
not seen it yet. And it's actually I think four people.
I'm ashamed. No, it actually did better than you would
expect for being what it made back like twelve percent
of it, and we love that for cats, I do
uh And we're thrilled to be joined in our third
seat by the hilarious and talented what's up listen? What's

(01:39):
up with you? Guys? Thrilled to have you. We're thrilled
to be back to be here rising for ing my
best life. How was your holiday? How is your New Year?
How was your fun? I was in New York and
then I flew back on Christmas. Um lots of people
in the airport, which I was not expecting, but all
pretty cheap to fly that day, right, it was cheaper,

(02:01):
that's why. But also a lot of dressed up dogs.
They're all like flying to and from home occasion shuts
down dog. Tell me you wouldn't watch a Disney Plus
movie called Unsupervised Dogs. I would watch it. Isn't that

(02:25):
what a Lady in the trap? Lady in the Tramp
is sort of actually Lady in the Tramp. I've watched
the first twenty minutes twice I watched. I watched most
of it in my and Sonny was like transfixed. It
was like barking at the CG dogs because something wasn't
quite right. What problematic thing do you think he was
screaming at the saying it was like, why aren't they like,
why aren't they cussing? I just wish that the testa

(02:48):
toms and dog was swearing. Do you think that they
dogs get mad at that they have stereotypes about different breeds?
I wonder, I wonder. I don't know. I think anytime
Sonny barks at a dog, I'm like, he's calling her
a bit and he's not wrong, but it's not right. Hey,
let me smell that hole. All right, Well, we're gonna

(03:10):
actually talk a little bit about cats and probably we're
gonna get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. But first we're gonna tell our listeners a
couple of things. We're talking about. Uh. Cats, Obviously, we're
going to talk about the situation with you were on.
What is happening? We're at war? Maybe going to be
who knows. Uh. We are going to talk about the

(03:33):
most perfectly timed viral campaign at the end of last
week by Cole's and under armour. Um. We're gonna talk
about Democratic primary. We're gonna talk about Marquise Zuckerberg costco
He's totally normal eddies. Uh segue is back and she's

(03:57):
more dystopian than ever. All of that and plenty more.
But first we like to ask our guests, polaby, what
is something from your search history that's revealing a bad
who you are? Um, I just searched. I had a
tweet about communion, so I searched to make sure I
knew what communion was. Yeah, and it's exactly what I

(04:19):
thought it was because my tweet was me finding out
what communion is. And it's like, make sure you're not
ignorant while being ignorant. That's right. They're the least crispy crackers,
but they do mount in the mouth. Do you in

(04:40):
the hand? Do you guys like find I don't know,
do you find it? Like? I kind of want to
watch him like wash his hands before he like feeds
everybody crackers. That's part of the Catholic ritual, is I think?
I think, Yeah, there's like very ritual hand washing where
you for a little bit of cold water over their hand.
They're like, I want like a good seeing happy birthday

(05:01):
twice while I want to be because I've seen a
couple of times and I was like, I don't know.
Catholic commune is like the most sinister ship you could
witness it's it's freaky. It also feels like he's just
doing his dishes because like he after the wine thing,
he has to clean that out, and then you have
to watch him like fold his dish towel, and then

(05:22):
you're like, he's lonely. I like always find like watching
Catholic ritinals both sinister and weirdly comforting because you're just
like the Catholic a little bit. We grew up like
a lot of different stuff. I like did can We
did Catholicism for a little bit, and then we switched
over to Protestant and then we were wickens for five minutes.

(05:44):
Then we quit. My mom and I were wicked. We
went my mom got a lot of books, uh, and
then we went rogue for like a couple of like
a very short amount of time, like maybe a few months.
Did anything like prompt this my mom, Well, yeah, I'm
mom's best friend is wicked, okay, and she she's the

(06:06):
lap in hands of the wicked Pope. And then so
we were wickens for for a second and then we
were just like, you know what, let's just sleep. I
have an uncle who like always changes religions he's always
like searching for something. I kind of like that started
out Hind and then I think it's Yeah, so he
started out Hind and then he like found a guru
and then he was like Buddhist for a while, and

(06:28):
then he was like really into like Raiky like he
was constantly, and then the last time I went back,
he was like, we need to talk about neural pathways.
And I'm like, we don't, Uncle, I don't think you
understand what's going on. I feel like that is everyone
has like a certain uncle who's searching for searching. I
have an uncle who's always trying to invent something. He

(06:50):
tried to invent a hand sanitizer that's like, but it's
a bracelet. He I think he like took his like
my cousin's like college money and was like, hand sanitizer
bracelets are the future. We're like, I don't think it is. Anyways,
he's looking, he's searching. Yeah, he's buying the book, searching
for a job for his son. Now. I hope your
uncle finds I also hope that uncle shout out, what

(07:16):
is something you think is overrated? Um? Oh was what
I talked to you about. I actually wrote this down
before we talked about it. Dog diapers, I think they're
so bad. The poop gets everywhere. So people who have kids,
imagine if your baby's ass was harry it would be
impossible to clean. And also like if you if your

(07:39):
baby was a lot faster writing around, Yeah, and there's
just ship like trailing behind. Yeah, it's a nightmare. It's
because every time I tell them that my dog has accidents,
they're like, use dog diapers, and I'm like, you don't
have a dog. You don't know what you're talking about.
I think they're okay for p Yeah, okay for p,
but you never know when the poop's going to come out.

(08:00):
Do not use them. They're so bad. But they're so cute.
They're very cute. Yeah, they are really cute esthetically, butts
are very cute. Dog ass is rule. Yeah, dogs are
very cute. Like just walking them, like watching them with
Scarry around. They look like Teddy bears. Watch the yeah,
watch the way it moves. I look at that thing.
That's all they're thinking when they go to sniff, right,

(08:23):
that's the same thing. I can resist. I get it, dogs,
I get it. I guess the obsession. What is something
you think is underrated roommates. Everybody's always complaining about their roommates.
But again, my roommates helped me with my dog. But
they're very sweet and they're also it's also good to
have roommates that are not in comedy. Oh you guys

(08:44):
have other lives and aren't narcissistic. Yeah. Yeah, I feel
like having roommates who aren't necessarily like part of your
same scene or like your friends. That's something I never did,
but like I've now known people have done that there. Well,
your kids both have podcasts on this network. Yeah, it

(09:07):
just hasn't dropped yet or there. We're trying to get
their language skills up to the one year oldest really struggling.
I totally agree with you, though. Yeah, it's like way
I like living with people who also like have like
a limited grasp on what you do and vice versa.
It's like being back at home with parents who are
like what, oh that you use that in your little comedy. Yeah,

(09:31):
where they give you ideas because they're not just talking
about comedy the whole time, so they're like, oh, I
read this article about this, not just on Twitter or
like oh, did you know this thing was invented by
this and you're like, what, there's a level of sincerity
you can't access in your life. It's great, It's that
is great. Yeah, what is a myth? What's something people

(09:51):
think is true? You know two people? This one I
always have a hard time with. But today because I
was looking it up female or agasms. No, I'm kidding, come,
but I am. I do like a web series called
Dirty Science and for the next episode, I'm going to
talk about female orgasms, and uh, the female orgasm was

(10:14):
right now, it's not associated with like ovulation or anything,
but in other species, and perhaps in the past it
might have been like it might have been the reason
that women were like, like, you orgasm and then it
like coaxes you to ovulate. Yeah, so it might have
been like a part of the the progress of like

(10:34):
having a baby. But now it's not what up just
for funzies? Now it's just for funzies. I heard that
two D seven senators went to can't it's against the rules. Well,
speaking of all sorts of orgasms, Jamie, you saw Cats?

(10:56):
I did? Oh? Okay, So Paul, you have you seen Cat?
I saw the original Cats on Broad fucking Way when
I was a child and then did you love it? I? Okay, honestly,
the only thing I remember was like during intermission they
had the like the main kingcat guy. I don't remember

(11:18):
any of it from that, but like they had the
main guy just sit up on stage and you could
like cat and you could like walk around him and
take a picture and he just like sat still. Part
of the thing that, like the cats come into the audience.
Do they do that in Broadway on from I don't
remember them being near me, but they were like all
over the place. Because I've seen two local productions of it,

(11:40):
which is I seem like I don't I don't know.
I would love to see a production of Cats that
was like by competent performers, because I've seen two local
ones and they were incredible, but for probably not the
right reasons. I thought you were going to say that
one a performance by cats for cats. I would like
to Cats. Let's see where Cats is? Okay, So okay,

(12:02):
So Cats is? I think I think the new Rocky
Horror in terms of everyone's been saying people will watch
it at midnight. It's so horrific to look at. But
I loved it so much. It's so good, it's so horny,
there's no One of the great things about it is
that there's no way to spoil it for anyone. You

(12:22):
can just talk about cats freely because the plot is nothing.
It's just cat after cat after cat coming out being like,
I'm the cat that does this thing, and then Idris
Elba shows up and turns them into dust, and that
also kind of has nothing to do with the plot.
But Eadris Elba is the villainous cat, right, and he's
giving God only knows how long it will take him
for him to bounce back from this, because he was

(12:43):
supposed to be James Bond and now he's this cat, right,
But he's still just permanently this cat. I'm I don't
know he really he people committed to the cats at
varying levels, and the I found who is the least
committed the least Oh, that's a good question. The least committed,

(13:05):
I would say, would probably have been Taylor Swift and
she was still pretty. I didn't even know she was
in it. She's in it. They clearly had it for
two days, but she was in it. She plays like
Adris Elba's like fim fatale cat The Harley Quinn basically
basically joker yourself is joker. But she they like wrote

(13:27):
a song for her. There's all these great cursed images
of her and Andrew Lloyd Webber sitting down together, and like,
what could they be talking about? She'sa but so she
is in it, and they like the things that they
do to the cat's bodies are very bizarre, like some
cats have very voluptuous human features and others are just cats.

(13:50):
Um and then like what's her name? Like unzipped her fur.
I saw that Rebel Wilson is the one that people
have seen who haven't even seen them. Yeah, that's why
I was unzips her for And there's more but hot pants.
The roaches are also in that scene. Rebel Wilson, I
would say, is one of my least favorite cuts. It's
not a her thing, it's just it's just a hard,

(14:12):
a hard part of the movie. And she eating roaches
and she's eating roaches and then they zoom in on
the roaches and the roaches are kind of like dancers
circus dances, and they have top hats and they have
human faces, and we we don't like it a little
cats eat roaches? No, Well, I mean, they eat rodents,

(14:33):
but it's not like yeah, I don't, I don't, I've
never I don't know, Like my daughter don't speaking roaches before.
Like just because they saw a big bug and it
seems like something fun to eat. I feel like it's
more like accidental than a like cat thing exactly. But
that's like the scene that I saw, it seemed like

(14:54):
it was you know, they had a hunting method to
like knock it off. The whole thing is I think
McKellan committed hardest to being a cat in the traditional
sense around switch around he's going. He basically looks to
cameras like wow, You're like wow, wow wow, how wow. Uh.

(15:14):
My favorite cat was Jason Derulo cat. He was unbelievable, committed,
harder than I've ever seen and and also on the
cat's press tour, he was like, this is genius. This
is the best fucking thing that's ever happened. And he
was mad. He was upset that they edited out his
ball because Jason Derulo is really into his ball. Yeah,

(15:37):
which I know for sure because I text no because
I went to I went to Madam Tussod's recently and
they have a wax Jason Derulo and the package is
like yeah, yeah, like it was clearly a part of
the country and go there, children, go there. It's their market.

(16:00):
The package level too, Yeah, the children are it was.
It was alarming, how so there was It started with
his Instagram post where he was wearing underwear and his
he was just like had his big thing hanging out
to the side. I love his I love that story.
So because he like said, guys got taken down, he

(16:20):
fought back, he clamped back and said, where's my bulge pick?
And then he also said that that picture was candid,
which if you saw it was clearly taken by like
it looked like a fashion any Levi Witz Jr. Not
a candid picture, oh Jason to um Now, there there
is some controversy from Cats about whether Ian McKellen's character

(16:46):
eats his boyfriend Cat's asshole or not. Um, well, I
don't know. Yeah, I I'll have to see it a
third time to tell you did see. And and yes,
a lot of people I know thought twice. I really
feel it's confusing. The first time I think yeah, and

(17:07):
then the second time you're just like you just kind
of like go to this other I don't know. I
saw it in a big group the first time in
a smaller group the second. Don't go alone. Definitely, don't
go alone, and don't go like to an afternoon screening.
It's meant to be in a group full of people
that are like vibrating at night. And your cat, Jennifer
Hudson is I mean, it's like this isn't fair to her,

(17:29):
but she still delivers, right, she sings memories, right, she
sings it like four times, but that you can tell.
She sings like a verse every twenty minutes. And then
at the end you get the Jennifer like that like
it's it gets really but she like gives you a
taste so many times, and she plays the cat that

(17:49):
like so in the show that she's the cat that
like no one likes and you're like why, but whatever,
they just don't like her, and so like the main
cat keeps going out and being like hi. And then
Jennifer Hudton sings three words of memory and she's wearing
this huge coat and then she gets in her hands
and knees and crawls away and it's they do this
long shot multiple times of Jennifer Hudson crawling away in

(18:13):
this long jacket, and you're like some of the cats
wear jackets also others don't EAT's elbows wearing closed the
whole movie until the end. At the end, he suddenly
isn't and it's like put the clothes back on. He's
like ripped, ripped. But they're like James Bond training on
a cat, and then they gave Taylor Swift. He's like

(18:37):
gigantic cat titties that are human titties that are also
two of them, just two of them when there's she's
there should have been six cats? Have six? Have you
ever paid bring cat? Or like a breastfeeding? It feels
so fucking weird. You're like my twelve year old dog.

(18:59):
Like now you try and pick him up, and like
part of him like doesn't come up with you. It's
just like he's like all giggly all over the place. Yeah,
I feel like that's the closest I've come, but the
closest you've come roum. But my, my, the best cat
in the movie for me is Skimble Shanks, the railroad cat.

(19:20):
Some guy step. Yeah, there's a few cats that are
like professional dancers, and that's why you don't know who
they are. And then there's like James Cordon and you're like, no,
thank you, James Cordon is giving it like a weird
amount of like he's good. And then they also like

(19:41):
clearly let him riff and then they didn't cut it out,
like riff what you didn't cut it out? Can you imagine?
I get like letting him do it. I'm like, he's
not going to shut up, but you don't want to
do it. But like I just like and then they
didn't cut it out like adding like he riffing on
like the idea of cats or he's like doing he's

(20:03):
doing like he thinks he's in a Jet Apatow movie.
Like he's just like he's improvising whatever. Whatever. I like,
you know he can. I like him in the car.
I just don't like when he gets out of the car.
That's my car. Stay in the car and background like
musical theater or something. Yeah, And he's also like the
most despised person in Britain. People don't like him. I
don't know what the rules hated him. They were idiots

(20:26):
for liking him. It's like it's kind of like Ricky Gervais,
where like they were almost like like like the UK
hated them so much that they just came to America
and started bothering us. Wait, the UK hates Ricky Gervaise everyone,
I mean everyone hates Ricky Gervaise. What is my favorite? What?
I actually really loved the British Office. But yes, but

(20:49):
that was twenty years ago. Did you see that Ricky
Gervais tweet about Joker? He like, oh wait, it was
like so earnest and you're like, yeah, likes sweetie. Uh
Demi did tweeted it. Actually it was just like Ricky
Gervet's being like, wow, performance of the century, Yeah, and

(21:15):
me love it so much, just like, oh yes he's
a film and performance of the year. Prayer emoji hands,
he tweeted at the Joker movie Twitter account. Too embarrassing
for everybody. I feel like with with cats, going back
to cats, do you actually think it's going to ruin
and just elbows like career because I feel like there's
so many cats in there that you can't distribute. No,

(21:38):
he'll be fine, He'll absolutely be fine. Yeah, Like I
think the Dancer cats were saying, we'll never see them
again on screen. We'll have to go to the you know,
French Ballet to see them. Jennifer Hudson is going to
be in the Aretha Franklin movie show. Like literally everyone's
going to be fine. Cats director Tom Hoover will not

(22:00):
be fine. He but his life, his family. I respect
the ship out of what he did, though, because it's
like such a risk. It's he created something that now
like exists in the firmament of people made fund me
for calling so many movies iconic and my look back

(22:22):
at the decade, and I look back at the decade,
but I do feel like this has become I kind
of like it's a cultural thing that everybody is drawing on,
that is in like the cultural mind firmament. Not I
like that. You don't have to be good for that
to happen. You just have to like be weird enough.
And like, I don't know, like the there's here, remember

(22:43):
this uncanny Valley of Cats, right, don't have to make
indies until he dies. But I'm glad he did this.
I mean, like he started with the King's Speech, which
I don't I was always mad at that movie for
beating Social Network in theaters. Yeah, I was mad because
Jamie saw twice in theaters and I thought that was

(23:05):
more than it deserved. But it was just like a
blah movie. And then he made lay Miss, which I
thought was like blah and bed so like for him
to go in this direct. She made the Danish Girl,
which also has not aged very well. Yeah, and then
he made I mean of those four cats, I think
is by Farest wrongest and history will remember. It looked

(23:27):
like you should have been in King's speech. Right, It's
like this is me and it's like it took so much.
It's also expensive looking. They had the practical effects makeup
and then they put c g I on top of
the practical effects makeup, and so it's very unnerving, but
it's good. And they also like somebody was like, I
figured I forget who it was. They tweeted it, but
they were like, I figured it out. It's because they

(23:47):
didn't give them cat noses. They were like, and then
she like she like photoshopped and gave them like cat noses,
and somebody else made them more cat like and it
looked so much better. I feel like they look more
cat like on stage than they do in the movie. Yeah,
because it is just like Rebel Wilson's face. That makes sense.
It's like they should we should have done the thing
that they did with like Sega, where we just like

(24:12):
interesting new trend where people are like betting like a
d and fifty million dollars on these giant CG products,
but like for some reason they're not like focused group
testing the stepping back, give a sleep on it, give
it like show it to your wife or whatever. You're like,

(24:33):
what the fund is that? Yeah? I do like that.
Everybody pressured for the Sonic thing to be better because
it was so much better after there, Like your art
isn't the art we want? Yeah, shouldn't have weird teeth
like that weird human teeth. Um, well, all right, well
that this is something. This is obviously a developing story.

(24:54):
We'll be returning to overtime. Really, if you haven't seen it,
see it. See it with a loud one who is
like on the fence of whether they want to see it,
and then they will be fully on board. I saw
a bombshell over the break. Whatever about that? Well, it
just it was it was all the performances were good,
but it was like written and directed by two straight

(25:14):
white guys, and so they were just like, um, this
is feminism, right, and you're like, no, so that was whatever.
Little Women liked it? Cats, I mean by far who
I loved it so much? Which of those three which
will stick with me? Cats? But I really did like
Little Women too, Little Women Too, Little Women, Little Women,

(25:36):
It's time Beth lives spoiler alert. Someone yelled at me
for spoiling little I was like this shut. I saw
a tweet recently that was like at the there's a
cut scene at the end of Little Women where Beth
Sanders drop like, we need you do you look that up?

(26:01):
Whose tweet that is so we can cite them. It's
a great time. It's really funny. Um, but yeah, that's
good to everyone yet Yeah, I loved uncut Gems. Oh,
I haven't seen it yet. I saw Knives Out. I did.
It was so good and it was it's so it's
so perfect. It's the perfect movie. And it's one another

(26:23):
one of these movies that's like an original, it's not
part of like existing I p And it's doing really
well at the box office. So maybe that will be
the trend of the twenties. Maybe we'll stop making nothing
but sequels. I'm going to go see a Little Women too.
There's Bets Revenge I'm going to go see it, I

(26:45):
think one more time, because Ryan Johnson did like a
director's commentary that you can like bring to the movie
theater with you and listen while you watch it. I
think I'm gonna go do that. It's like a museum.
He was one of my favorite interviews on I think
it was the Girl Is In Hoodies podcast, which we
now have the on grant Land. We now have the

(27:05):
descendant of that with all the women from that show
called Nightcall on our network. But they interviewed Ryan Johnson
and he was so interesting to listen to him. He's
such a smart, like just interesting person, Like his thinking
about movies is really interesting. I liked it so much
and I was like, why aren't movies like this? Seems simple,

(27:26):
it's just a good script and then good performances and
like being self aware, like why are not all movies?
It's also it's like one of I don't know, I
feel like it made me think about how rare it
is to be able to tell that everyone who's performing
is enjoying themselves. Every other movies I've seen recently where

(27:46):
I'm like they did a good job, but I don't
think that they were like having to be there like
everyone and ves that seemed like they were so happy
to be in that movie. Uh well, you'll be disappointed
to know that the studio has quietly rolled back all
their campaigns to have Cats nominated for Academy Awards. Mistake, mistake, truly.
I think that them taking the Taylor Swift song out

(28:08):
of the original song consideration is is a mistake. Yes,
uh well, I over the break saw The Family Stone,
which is a very old Christmas movie that I don't know.
It was fine, and uh I saw The Grinch the
New Grinch on Netflix five times. I saw the Netflix

(28:28):
documentary Don't Funk with Cats. Oh my god, I saw that.
Watch to watch. I don't want to watch it. It
makes you very uncomfortable the whole time. You're never comfortable
and you're just like, what is this happening? And I
kept having to look away, yeah, like because I was
so almost crying. All right. Actually, before we get into

(28:51):
the details of the plot from this documentary, spoiler alert, guys,
If you want to watch this documentary, which has lots
of twists and turns, uh you fast forward a couple
of minutes three three minutes. What do you think how
long did we talk about four minutes? Hunting me for
a lifetime though, But it's about this like guy who

(29:14):
put up these videos of him torturing cats and then
a Facebook group was formed to find him, and the
methods that they use are good, like yeah, smart, but
like unethical and like yeah, oh yeah, very and it
was it was just like vigilante people like searching for it.
And then yeah, and then he ends up like I

(29:36):
don't know if I like it's not a spoiler because
it's already happened in real life, right, yeah, but he
like kills someone. He kills a person because it was
escalating his videos. And then he was he was a
Canadian guy and he sent the body parts to like
the Canadian like it he like and it was and
these people were tracking him and the police weren't like

(29:57):
listening to them or like what it's a wild Like
I think that the documentary maybe gave a little bit
too much credit to the internet vigilantes, but it was
really interesting. I feel like you shouldn't encourage it too much.
Of the marathon, Yeah, the Boston marathon bombing was really scary.
That's what like, because I was I was in there
I was like, oh yeah, that's definitely the dude. Like

(30:19):
I wasn't writing that, but I was like I was
following it closely and like trusting Reddit and like ready
for them to like take out this guy who it
totally wasn't. We were in our basement apartment like in Boston,
like they found him and they hadn't, and there was
like a sort of story about that and don't funk
with us where they thought they had found him and

(30:39):
they ended up kind of targeting this like a person
who was struggling with depression who ended up um taking
their own life. It was bad. And then else at
the end, I hated the end. The end was like
the last ending. The end, like they were like, we
don't know if we encouraged him, but because he joined
the group, like the guy, Oh yeah, he win the

(31:00):
group and he gave them clues, like and that's why
they were like honest, that's the only reason that they like.
But like and so they're like, we don't know if
we encouraged him because he wanted the attention. And then
at the end, like so she's telling her story, right
and then she's looking at a person off camera, and
then at the end, she turns and makes eye contact
with a camera and she's like, she's basically gives you
a lecture of whether or not you should even be

(31:21):
watching this documentary and that you're in the fucking documentary.
At the end, she's like, so, I don't know if
I'm like but it's so shocking because she looks into
the camera for the first time. It's like the Peloton
ad where you're like, feels kind of funny. It ends
very similar to Cats because at the end of Cats
the movie, Judy Dench breaks the fourth wall and it's like,

(31:43):
no that you've seen Cats. How she sings this long
it's in the musical, but she sings this whole song
about like you should be nice to your cat, ask
them what their name is. Like, it's she breaks the
much like don't funk with Cats. They It's just a
woman out of nowhere breaking the fourth wall and making
you feel not. I feel like the toxoplasmosis parasite is
a lot stronger than we thought. A lot of Cats

(32:10):
content wholesome movie that is very good. Klaus on Netflix
k L a U s it's like an original and
it's like the origin story of Santa clause. But it's
all like it's so good. It's a documentary. No, it's
an animated, it's another Internet. They hunt down Santa Claus
and murder him. No, No, it's like it's an animated

(32:33):
like children's but it's like the first Santa Claus came from. Yeah,
but it's like it's just so good, and it comes
up with like clever ways of his origin story, like
another way it could be. You know, it's not like
real but but yeah, cool, it's like Batman begins for
Santa Claus. Yeah, it's so good though. An animation is amazing.
But this time next year we'll be talking about Santa

(32:54):
University and how it just came out to critical acclaim. Yeah. Absolutely,
all right, we're going to a quick break and we'll
be back with all the bad stuff. And we're back.
And yeah, as Jamie just pointed out, we talked for

(33:18):
a half hour without bringing up the fact that World
War three maybe starting. Yeah, we're gonna bring in super
producer on A Hosnier, who's been following this story more
closely than I have. Uh, and yeah, your family is
from Iran. Uh, what's up an? Anyboddy? Um? Yeah, you

(33:43):
know um. I mean, if you've been on the internet,
maybe you've seen the world War three is coming, which
I mean world War three. I don't know. That's kind
of a weird thing to say, because it's more um
maybe you heard uh Wes decided to um kill assassin

(34:03):
assassinate uh custom Solemnei who is the um Well, he
was the military leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which
the US has. The U S and other countries like
sad Arebia have designated them as a terrorist group, so
they killed him in a drune strike at the Baghdad
Airport in Iraq. Honestly, I was I was at you know,

(34:28):
classically l a Ana. I was at Whole Foods when
I got the news news alert and uh yeah. And
there was a moment while I was standing in the
hot food area where I think I I saw the
news alert and then I think I stood in place
just like in complete like panic, like not like panic,

(34:51):
but just like oh for about ten minutes because a
woman like pushed me aside, was like stiff me, I
need to get to my bac and cheese, and to me,
I was like goodbye, lady. Like it was it was
just so I can't really it just context. Don't you
realize we're all day. I was like, yeah, I enjoy

(35:13):
your mac cheese, bitch, because that's it. But to give
some context, this man Soleimani, while known as a very
evil man to us and most Iranians, Um, well yeah,
I mean, if you live within the country, some people
support the regimes, some people don't. As it goes, um,

(35:33):
but he's a known for being a very hardline leader.
He was um loved by the Supreme Leader of Homany
maybe you know who that is, but he is the
literal Supreme Leader of Iran and one of the most
terrifying people on earth. Um. There are pictures and video
of him kind of consoling the family and like, you know,

(35:55):
with a photograph of him next. Yeah, let's just say
this man us like the number two in Iran in
a sense, not literally like he wasn't like, oh I'm
one step below the Supreme Leader, but he basically wasn't.
How he was treated with respect, and his his opinions,
how like his feelings on things were they were taken
very seriously. So he could go to the Supreme Leader

(36:16):
and be like I want to do this, and the
Supreme Leader would be like, hey, you know what, Sleimani,
I trust you. And that's kind of the intense situation
we're in and is we killed. Basically, it's like if Um,
you kill someone's best friend and that person is very
uh dangerous, and Uh is going to react, definitely going

(36:39):
to react because he's like, Yo, you killed my best friend. Um.
In another way, it's like we showed up and we
killed Pompeo and we would all be like, damn, that
was too bad. Well our loss, Like it's not going
to go down that way. It's actually we've made a
big old gath to explain it. So what was the
leader up to? So at the end of December Um

(37:03):
there's a lot of like tension in Iraq right now.
Iran has a lot of influence in Iraq, which Iraq
doesn't necessarily like because they're trying to run their own
country and they're trying to come back from the Saddam
Hussein Day's like there's and you know there was Isis
had taken control. Like there's so much going on in Iraq.
I feel like has been trying to get back on
their feet and it's not really been possible because of

(37:25):
all the kind of proxy war is going on within
the country. UM So, a US civilian contractor was killed
and several troops were injured in a rocket attack in
Kirkuk and UM the militia group that goes by Katab
hez Bola was blamed. And if you kind of know
hes Bola has been said to be an Iranian proxy group.

(37:45):
There's a lot it's hard to understand who is getting
from what, but a lot of these and kirk Kok
is in Iraq, yes, kox in Iraq sorry, and a
US civilian contractors, So it wasn't the US troop. It
was probably someone who was like yeah, being like hey,
I could get you these weapons for a good priise. UM.

(38:06):
And then December nine, UM US planes they bombed three
sites in Iraq, Iraq sorry, one of them al came
and then two sites in Syria and twenty five people
were killed. And the sites are all tied to that
Hezbollah proxy group. UM And those twenty five people were
there any like civilians or are they all I'm not

(38:28):
sure to be honest with you, it's if it was Hezbollah,
Like it's very hard to find out the numbers because
they're not Those distinctions are like so foggy. It's like,
how do you know like that somebody is part of
the militia or somebody who was like a family member
of the militia or you know. Yeah. And then December

(38:48):
thirty one, UM militia back protesters attacked the US embassy
and Bath Dad and that is said to have been
planned by Solemney, which is where January two, uh, the
Iranian military leader Soleimani and five others they're killed in
a US drone strike at the bath At Airport. The
US officials have called it a defensive action and they said, now,

(39:11):
this is the thing. Pompeo said, this was because an
imminent attack was going to take place. Apparently they have
intelligence of this. But then the Pentagon came out and
said it was meant to deter future Iranian aggression. That's
two different things. So we don't know what's real or
what happened. Shooting someone who has a gun named at
you or being like that guy seems dangerous, I'm gonna

(39:33):
shoot him based on my judgment. That's going to another question. Um,
So what happened with the embassy like siege, Like did
anybody die or did like, yeah, I think there were Um,
I don't know, not US ambassadors, though a lot of
people got it. Anybody died, actually no, I think it
was well, there was like an official like announcement from

(39:55):
the White House saying that people like Americans in Iran
should leave this morning. Yeah, I was getting dangerous, and
but they eventually were able to get control of the situation.
There was some speculation that the Iraqi uh like government
allowed it to take place because of Iranian influence, and

(40:17):
so it's you know, it's basically like Anna said, it's
this like a proxy war that's going on for like
struggling for influence uh And you know, Iraqi leaders are
not thrilled to have either of those people there like
pushing them around. And so it's just a very complicated
situation where different people are doing the bidding of either

(40:39):
Ran or the US. And it just seems to me
like this is a very provocative assassination that's taken place
that it just seems like it's the next or a
higher level than any military action that the US has
taken anywhere in a in a long time. Like it.

(41:00):
It just seems like it's very provocative and also easily
could spark something much larger you know, yeah, I mean
I think that's what people are reacting to. Well, yes,
and it's kind of it's a wild thing because this
has been leading up, like we've been leading up to this.
Trump has been causing problems with Iran since he pulled

(41:21):
out in the nuclear deal. And um, there's this clip
we have from Bernie Sanders that I think kind of
nails the perfect amount of like, are you fucking kidding me?
Like if you if you attack another country, that's an
act of war, and uh, you want to play It
was President Trump's decision this week to call off that
strike the right one. See, it's like somebody setting a fire,

(41:44):
uh to a basket full of paper and then putting
it out. He helped create the crisis and then he
stopped the attacks. The idea that we're looking at the
president of the United States, who number one thinks that
a war with Iran is something that might be good
for this country. He was just doing a limited strike,
just a limited strike. Oh well, I'm sorry, I just

(42:06):
didn't know that it's okay so simply attack another country
with bombs, just a limited that's an active war. Fan, Yes, exactly.
And that was recorded six months ago before this, when
we were still dealing with drone strikes where they they
shot down a US drone over the strait of hormones.
Like this has been going on for a while and
you can't do You just can't go and kill a

(42:28):
top military general. And I think nothing's gonna happen. How
she was talking, she was like, it's just limited though,
And I'm like, do you know that people like are dying. Yeah,
it's so removed like from our our like lives that
people like don't understand like how exactly what we're talking
about earlier, Like we aren't given the truth about who's
dying and why things are done. It's like so under

(42:50):
reported here that you have to like really really really
look for what's Yeah, and I don't. I it's hard
to say again, like they don't give us any information.
We don't know if the U s has an exit plan.
We just know they've deployed over additional troops in Mill
East because Iran vowed exact severe revenge on the US paratroopers,

(43:13):
to which I didn't know. Is that still I don't know?
But everything is still the troopers are back. Yeah, even
like Jamie said, they told the Americans to leave. They
were like, you gotta get out now. You're literally you
have a what is it called when there's like a
thing or target, a target onto useless. You have a
target on your back because Iran is looking for you.

(43:34):
They want to either one capture probably Americans to use
as like a political bargaining tool, which he guess what,
no one's bargaining with Iran. So you have to get
out of there for your own safety. Yeah, they were like, um,
it's CNBC had a headline and for an opted that

(43:54):
was America just took out a man many considered the
world's number one. Back is already starting. That piece is
written by a warmonger. I read that piece is do
not believe. I mean it is. The facts are there,
but the way it's written is like, oh well, now
all these all these Iranians can finally look forward to
this great new life without this like man overlooking them.

(44:16):
And then and it's just like this, that's not how
it works. It was terrifying because this is from sixteen
hours ago and they're already spinning it. Of course it's insane.
I mean it's and it's like, I mean, how many
wars are we gonna have to live through and are
like lives. But it's I feel like it's kind of
unbelievable that they expect people to still fall for that

(44:39):
of like, yeah, we were alive for the last war
and like y'all said that too, and no one's going
to I don't know, I think, but I think the
danger is that people do believe it, like like when
you people don't. I think there's like an issue with
people being able to like critically think and pick between
media and like I think maybe like we we know
and we it's like that's the terrifying part is that

(45:02):
they do have influence and they're like already deploying it.
I thought, Yeah, something I found like very I mean,
all of this is is terrifying, but just um, when
the news kind of broke, it didn't seem like anyone
in the White House or elsewhere had like a lot
of information or warning that this was going to happen,
like Trump did the fucking low quality jpeg of the

(45:25):
American flag. But it was like I tried to look for,
you know, like sources of like just to contextualize it
a little better, and and most people who like report
on the Middle East were like, we don't fucking know
what is going on. It took him until the following day,
the third of January to say we we terminated him,

(45:46):
and which very cool, and then we took action to
stop a war, not to start a war. Um what.
But also they think Pentagon says they're not going to
have a press briefing the Pentagon. Do you guys just
drop a bomb less than twenty four hours ago to
assassinate a man and you're not going to have a
rest briefing. This is the danger of having a modern

(46:06):
president where you know, so much of the you know,
breaks and protections that are put in place are norms,
and he doesn't. He doesn't like, you know, honor any norms.
So you know, he just does stuff by his gut
and we're left to sit back and wonder, uh, you
know what, why he did them? I mean, I think

(46:27):
that's the big question a lot of people are speculating
about now, Like one of the things I had given
Trump credit for, and this is a redefinition of lowering
the bar. But you know, despite being a completely ego
driven narcissist bordering on slips is um with the functional
intellect of a insecure twelve year old. He has managed

(46:48):
not to end the world through the first three years
of his presidency. Uh, and that all may have changed now.
And the most general interpretation I think is that when
when you have somebody like that with no morals and
no convictions, they are always going to be around the

(47:12):
generals and the military industrial complex, and there's just going
to be this gravitational pull to try and pull them
towards starting a war. Uh. That's just how Like what
the scariest thing about Trump getting elected to me was
this anecdote about the Cuban missile crisis when JFK and
RFK were the only people in the room who opposed

(47:34):
actions that would have ended the world. But they were like, no,
we're fuck the military leaders, Like they just want to
start a war and like they had to have backbone
and like leadership qualities to stop that from happening. And uh,
we just don't have that sort of person now. So

(47:54):
that's the most generous interpretation. Now, there are some other
interpretations going around, Like some people have pulled out this quote,
uh from Trump during the Obama administration where he repeatedly
predicted that Obama would attack Iran to help him get
re elected. Uh, and we we even have a video.

(48:16):
Let's let's hear what the president had to say. Our
president will start a war with Iran because he has
absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective.
We have a real problem in the White House thing.
So I believe that he will attack Iran sometime prior
to the election because he thinks that's the only way

(48:39):
he can get elected. Isn't it pathetic? Yes? Yeah, I
feel uh, he doesn't understand, like, you don't just attack
Iran yet, just don't do it, and nobody it's a
bad idea to go to war with Iran. It's so

(49:00):
argant to think that you're like the world's police, right. Yeah.
I saw some articles or you know, yeah, I think
there were opinion pieces from people who are like more
you know, the the center left even, who were saying, like,
nobody fears us in the Middle East anymore. And that's
a problem. And it's like, is it is that a

(49:20):
problem that like we and also they do because we
keep fucking things up. It's the incompetency. Also, the last
time the president was impeached, I will read you a
New York Times headline from that impeached front vote in
House delayed as Clinton lunches Iraq airstrike, citing military need

(49:40):
to move swiftly. So this there might just be a
presidential like playbook where they're like, if impeached, you know,
launch airstrike in Iraq. Um. Yeah, So I mean, just
to end this what a war with THEURON would look like.
Just to be clear, Iran is not going to come

(50:02):
bomb the US. If you're a fear that we are
going to go to a World War three on our mainland,
that's not going to happen, So don't fear. But the
Middle East will become so deeply destabilized a lot of
people will die over there. Um. And Iran can attack
US military targets in the Middle East like in the region.

(50:22):
And of course I think proxy wars will step up
and go even beyond proxy wars, where Iran will be
the people being like, oh it's US, you know it's us, um,
And guess what, We're probably all going to get hacked
because Iranian is very smart. They know how to hack,
and they also they can ruin our infrastructure in a
lot of ways. They are allied with Russia, So I

(50:43):
mean that that's the other big fear. I think people Russia,
Russia's dying to take control the Middle East, and that
is just yeah, yeah, I could give them, give them
what right, what they wanted? Oh my god, the long
cone and probably totally right about just like the I
don't know, it's just the media being weaponized to kind

(51:05):
of get people on board and convince other I mean,
even the way that some presidential candidates have been tweeting
about it are like a little bit I don't know,
wishy washy of like, well, he wasn't a great guy,
so it's not horrible. But also it you know, like
terrorist is trending and hundred thousand tweets or whatever. It's
like that's just how they're painting him without talking about

(51:26):
the repercussions of everything. Um well, Also trending right now
is something that I think is on everybody's mind, and
that is UH Coals and they finally teamed up for
a collaboration a sweepstakes. So as everyone was worried that

(51:49):
the world was about to come to an end, the
top six things trending on Twitter were about the you know,
the story we just talked about US air striking three
Trump top military leader. Uh yeah, so uh and then
the number one or two thank trending at any given

(52:10):
time on that day was Cole's ex under Armour. I mean,
I'll always remember being in the Whole Foods when I
learned about the under arm and this lady was like
my mac and cheese, and I was like, not your ma. Um. Oh, well,

(52:32):
you know, Jesus, there's so much news to talk about,
but we're not gonna have time to get to all
of it, so uh, it'll still be there tomorrow. My Unfortunately,
all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back, and uh, there's all sorts

(53:03):
of other important things happening. Mark Zuckerberg was spotted at
a Costco Oh my God, pretending to be human. Headcanon
was he was there with Priscilla, his wife. Um, and
that your impression of guys with wives effects in joke
on not that show. But they went together in you know, Silicon,

(53:28):
they went in Hell. They went to the Costco closest
to Hell. And they're looking at flat screens first of all,
so don't make no mistake, they're still rich. Um. But
my theory is that, like Mark was being naughty, naughty
in their big scary mansion, and Priscilla was like, you
know what, we got to bring you back down to earth.
I've heard of this place Costco and she as a punishment,

(53:52):
he had to walk among the people. He looks he's
looking at the flat screens in this photograph with a
with a of almost like amusement, like look at that.
That's cute. There's like a little little flat screen there.
Do you think he's just walking around Costco? Like, oh, yeah,
they do. He was. He was walking around going hot

(54:14):
or not listening to that. It's like, let me write,
let me create a website to rank all these things.
It's like listening to the music and Costco like is
this Posito? Can't find it anywhere? Mark is trying to

(54:35):
relate to the kids. He's walking around like what's death Posito?
All of Oh boy, Mark, what he's I mean, he's
a super villain. But he went to Costco. So we
have no choice but to stand, Jack, Yes, no choice
but to stand. But is why Sam's Club is the
club of the people. I've never been to a Sam's clubs.

(54:57):
That's all we had in you or that's the only
one that my family went to in you there, it's
like a heart ease Carl Jr. Thing. I think they're
just they're owned by the same company. We had a Costco,
but my parents refused to like they thought the membership
prices weren't fair, so we went to the ice cream
stand outside the cost Guy, which is very reasonable. The
pizza is good too. Yes, it's like a giant, giant

(55:17):
pizza with like way too much shoes on it. But
then you get like shafted at the door. You can't
do anything, Yeah, but then you can't get in to
get the chickens, which are the whole somebody was telling
me about like some article they read where the costs
benefit for Costco to sell those chickens, because the rotisserie

(55:40):
chickens at Costco are famously like some of the best
anywhere and they only cost four and yeah, they're going
on so they do it. They put it at the
very back of the thing, so you have to go
buy all the stuff in order to get there. And
so even though they're losing money on the rotisserie chickens,
so they make it back just getting you in the door.

(56:02):
Smart because of the Yeah, if I ever lived in
a space that was larger than two ft by two ft,
I would get a Costco membership, but unfortunately I don't
have space for items. Or if I ever lived with
people that would love me and like a favorite would
like had love, I ever found love, then I'd go
to Costco. I would like to. I like, I like

(56:22):
the ritual like of Costco, like I want. I want
Costco for myself someday, but I'm not there yet. When
Kanye said gotta use I D to even got to
use I D to get inside of Sam's Club, he
was talking about baring his soul to his his the
love of his life. He was talking about, I want
to get into like an argument at a Costco. That's

(56:42):
that's what I want to. Costco parking lot is pretty intense,
have you Have you gotten into it and the Costco
parking I have not, but I can see myself doing
that in one of my weaker moments. That would be
a really fun Okay. I bet if I spent a
couple of weekends walking around either in Ikea or a

(57:04):
Costco parking lot, the things you could overhear would be
life changing, like the gripes you would hear between people
would be so good that that's a podcast. There's I'm
gonna they're They're I'm dropping Everything's gonna walk in a
circle around the bourbonk Ikea for six weeks um. But yeah,
because people are pushing around shopping carts that are the

(57:26):
size of cars, and they're people are also like fighting
for parking spots too. It's well, you can't bring a
car you like into the parking you have to bring
like your bumper car. You have to use the cart
as a car and flintstone your way out of there.
People should drive their segway eggs in there. How many

(57:47):
flat screens do you think, Marks, He's just looking at
them like they're so adored. But I feel like he's
like looking at it at like the screen technology, and
it's like this is trash. He's like, what would be
cooler than a millions billions? Like eyes have better screen technology.
He's like updated, He's a cyborg now right. Well, and

(58:08):
also he probably has people come and perform TV shows
for him. In personally, it's just t J. Miller in
his apartment, like reenacting that TJ. Miller's second act an
apartment about Mark Zuckerberg. No One caught mansion he for

(58:29):
sure lives in. I wonder what his house looks like.
He has an entire block of houses, bought a mansion
and then bought all the neighboring houses so nobody could
see his mansion. So imagine like growing up in this
like weird, post apocalyptic like block where like there's just
abandoned houses like surrounding you, like his. That would be

(58:52):
so strange. Just did that basically, Yeah, yeah, I just
want I don't know who that is make a part is. Yeah,
I got really depressed and I watched all those rival
videos of them fighting with each other, like really Charles
and Jeffrey Starr and somebody else Lady Jeffrey Charles. Jeffrey
Star is a strange person, but I like him, like

(59:15):
Shane Dawson is his little like Igor now. And so
they just did like a big house tour of Jeffrey
Star's new house and it's like a Marvel villain and
so scary. And Shane Dawson was the one who had
to tweet about not sucking his cat. Very sinister YouTube. Yeah,

(59:36):
Shane Dawson. That was my highlight of the decade. Shane
Dawson was like I didn't have sex with my cat.
How many times do I have to say this, I
didn't have sex with my cat. I know, I said
I had sex with my cat, but I didn't. But
then when when you look at it, it seems like
he had sex with his cat. And also I didn't
know who Shane Dawson was before that tweet. My brother

(59:57):
and I have this horrible ritual where we watch all
of Shane Dawson's videos together. There there it's some of
the worst content you could make. So basically his deal
is he makes so much money off of YouTube. Um,
and you can tell that he like because the longer
people watch your YouTube videos, the more money you make.

(01:00:17):
So he makes absurdly long videos about nothing. And it's
like he'll do these like expose a documentaries. He's done
one on one of the Paul Brothers, he did one
on Jeffrey Star and it's just these like ten hour
long documentaries. Yeah, and they're mostly about him and his husband.
But then also you go to Jeffrey like and it's

(01:00:38):
it's it's the most obnoxious thing he edited himself, and
it shows like it's it's really it's really nasty. It's
a really nasty corner of the Internet and it's like
populated almost solely by children, which is also weird. But
he's like the most like one of the most popular YouTubers.
Every one of his horrible videos has like ten million views. Anyways,

(01:00:59):
check out his documentary Don't Fuck Cats, not to be
confused with Don't Funk with Cats. Not to be confused
with cats. It's called Don't Cats parentheses or one more story.
I think we need to talk about before we go,

(01:01:19):
because I think this is going to shape the way
we look in the future and the future looks in
the future. Just in time for twenty Segue is back
and the holy shit, it's an egg it's a se
it's a seg It's the chair from Wally. It's literally

(01:01:41):
the chair from Wally. Okay, I'm thrilled about the new Segue.
Uh dj Daniel told me that I didn't know that
Segue makes birds and lines, so they're actually we've been
laughing at them and making the rest of development jokes
about them. But in the meantime, she's been thriving. You know,
Segway is killing it and they just introduced this egg

(01:02:03):
chair that it's um it's basically Uh, they're like, okay,
standing is over, we're all sitting now. You're sitting in
the chair from Wally um and and you control it
with a little joystick, although they're trying to develop technology
that you can just kind of lean and but it
doesn't work like a regular segue. You have to drive

(01:02:24):
it like a little video game. It goes up to
twenty four miles an hour. It's called the s Pod,
even though it should be called the segwig U and
thank you time. That's see, the media brands things the
way they want, not even good at it. It's like

(01:02:44):
when they had the sequel to Now You See Me
called now You See Me Too, instead of Now You Don't.
You're like, this is a very clear mistake. But it's
called the s Pod. And Segue also admitted for some
reason that it was inspired by the gyrosphere from Jurassic World,
which is really embarrassing for them. Okay, I was getting

(01:03:04):
major um like Grandparent up the stairs chair vibe where
you just like you're like in this well it looks
like a kind of futuristic jazzy scooter. Yeah, Like it's
a jazzy scooter, except it's on two big wheels instead
of four little ones. I mean it just has like
I mean, it's I'm sure that it will be helpful

(01:03:26):
for for many people. Um but but in terms of
a major consumer product, it is a dystopian adjacent Yes. Uh,
we're all going to be giant, pillowy, pillowy, soft bodied people.
And if we were like annoyed with like the scooters
being in our way before, like this is going to

(01:03:48):
be so annoying. I mean, the scooters became such a
like that. I still think the scooter is like one
of the funniest things just like a person, a human
douche bag can do, is just go like right out
of a room on a second. Every friend of mine
that I've talked to was gotten into an accident on
a scooter. Don't hit by them several times. I don't

(01:04:11):
know how they survived the fact that the guy who
bought Segue in two thousand ten drove like bought it
and promptly drove it off a cliff and died. Uh. Like,
I didn't buy a Segue. He owned the company, as
Jimmy held. He was a British multimillionaire. He bought Segue

(01:04:33):
in January and then drove one of them off the
company's drove one of the company's two wheeled scooters off
a cliff and into a river and died. That should
be an Adam McKay movie, right, Like it sounds like
an Adam McKay movie. I want to watch. That's wild. Yes, Um,
but they're they're apparently doing well with their lines and

(01:04:58):
his legacy of on. I mean, I remember when they
released when they unveiled the segue in the first place,
like there was a lot of mainstream media buzz like
there's gonna be a innovation that's real tomorrow that's going
to change the future. And uh, it didn't, but they

(01:05:20):
kind of did with the limes and the Yeah, they
changed that, right. Um, well, uh what a start. It's
been a pleasure of having you. Where can people find you? Um,

of my favorite writers and a dressin SNL writer former
Cracked writer at and a dress, and she tweeted, gotta
