Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season forty eight, episode
one of Daily Night Geast for Monday, September ten, two
thousand eight teen. My name's Jack O'Brien. A Kay, I'm
not the man they think I am at home. Oh no, no, no,
I'm Jack O'Brien. That was courtesy with Hannah Solstice or Saltice,

(00:20):
but I'll give it a little space theme. Anyways, I'm
thrilled to be joined today by a very special guest
co host, Miss Lazy Mosley. Hey, what's up? Its Lazy Moseley.
A k e Nicki minaj is kin Katy week and
I called you Lazy Mosley. You did everyone? Yeah, because

(00:43):
the Mosley uh anticipated that. I don't think you're lazy.
You sprinted into the office today. You were in athletic
ware and it looks amazing. And we are thrilled to
be joined in our third seat by an actor. All right.
He is currently on Disney's Big Hero six, Lifetime's upcoming

(01:05):
show American Princess, an upcoming movie on Netflix by Noah Bomb,
back upcoming Netflix cartoon called trash Truck. He co hosts
Saving the World with Barry and Lucas on Starburn's audio.
He is Lutma Smith, hey, having thank you so much
for being here. We're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. But first we're gonna

(01:26):
tell our listeners what we're gonna be talking about today.
Obama is back. He talked to a weary nation about
our weariness. We're going to talk about his speech, where
you're going to talk about Trump's latest Trump rallies and
what's going on in the background. Some people started paying
attention to the background, noticing people literally blowing their nose

(01:49):
on the flag, but also a strange sort of invasion
of the body snatchers mystery that was taking place, where
people who seemed to be appropriately baffled by the president's
words would then just be replaced by smiling maga hat
wearing aids. And we're gonna talk about the best deal
ever Domino's Pizza giving away a hundred free pizzas per

(02:13):
year for a hundred years. I don't know math, but
that's a lot of pizzas. Unfortunately, you have to be
Russian to get that. All you have to do is
get Domino's logo tattooed on your body. We're gonna talk
about the latest additions to the Merriam Webster dictionary. Trump's
continued reaction to last week's New York Times op ed.

(02:36):
Now he's saying he wants Sessions to investigate. Uh, and
we kind of do too, because we're curious who wrote
that ship. We're gonna talk about Tesla and Elon Musk
smoking weed on podcast on the wrong podcast, I might add.
We're gonna talk about Cuba and China attacking us with
micro waves, the whole diplomat attack conspiracy, uh, and why

(03:00):
I still don't buy it. We're gonna be talking about
Nicki Minaj giving money to Gary h to Jeffrey Owens
from The Cosby Show. Uh, we call him Gary here
at the office. You did well, you wrote Gary on
the Yeah, that's gets contagious that way. Hey, that's all right.

(03:21):
But first, Lucas, what is something from your search history
that is revealing about who you are? Uh? Real thing
about me? I guess, Uh, well, just the last thing
that a Google search was images of Joseph Stalin because
just a big fan love yeah big well, you know
efficient efficients and left. My wife's relationship to uh two

(03:49):
house flies is sort of most similar to Joseph Stalin's
relationship to the Russian you know, rural class. So she's
like she crushed is that she crushes them, She's furious
at their insubordination, and she's constantly making lists. Okay, you
know god, Yeah, so I was, yeah, I was looking
for a good image that I was like, this is

(04:11):
this is you, this is who you are, and it's
sort of like him in military uniform, sort of in
the middle end of his career. We have this podcast
Behind the Bastard hosted by a guy Robert Evans, where
he has this theory that it's actually Joseph Stalin's handsomeness
and a lot of these different dictators handsomeness that cause
really good looking, really look young Joseph Stalin. You're gonna

(04:32):
be like, yeah, I mean it's it's a well, it's
the same thing as like CEOs. We're talking about Elon
Musk being really tall earlier. There's like some average height
of CEOs that they're all almost all over six feet tall, right,
which is just like we like tall, like charisma, you know.
And also I think it's also partially um there's that

(04:53):
thirty Rock episode The Bubble where John Hamm is so
good looking that nobody tells him he's a terrible doctor
or a terrible cook, and I will I wonder how
much of it is just them, sort of just everybody
being like, yeah, man, that's great, you're you're crushing at Joseph.
I think we all live in a bubble. Yeah. I
think we're all actually in a bubble of that's almost
completely filled with sort of like delusions of some measure. Well,

(05:15):
you think we're living in a I don't think we're
living in a simulation, Okay, but I don't think that.
I think this is very real. I I adhere to
the Raymond Talis view of life. What is it? He's
a polymath and he's like, all these theories about time
and everything are really great, but at the end of
the day, you're still late for the bus. I think
that things are a lot simpler than we I mean,

(05:39):
in l A, no one's late for the bus really
because you almost know there are no busses practically, but
I mean, people take it. But it's just that there's
there's certain life in some ways in time is simpler
than we like to imagine, because I think it's sort
of it does more complicated theories offer us the possibility
of less mortality, and I think that's sort of very seductive. Yeah,
I don't think it's true. At the same time, really

(06:01):
complicated math gave us the atomic bomb, which was very real.
Somewhere in between, well, I think math is real. Yeah,
I agree. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Uh?
Probably just like money and media. I think all money
is essentially overvalued for having value. Um. I think that,
you know the the we've sort of like created a

(06:23):
construct within our own brains where now we com modify
everything we encounter, like we're like, oh, this moment is
worth this much and this thing is worth this much,
and as opposed to experiencing things on their own terms.
And I think that's sort of a really shitty way
that we've sort of made sure that we all go
through life. Oh man, I'm a part of that shitty way.

(06:43):
I monetize everything. Instagram at funerals, so keep watching. Uh,
this is good content. Keep those hearts coming, ladies and gentlemen.
I will instagram my families. Yeah, I mean yeah, I
just think, like two miles away in space, like, uh,
there's literally nothing that cares about us or any of
our problems, and so it just seems crazy to me

(07:05):
that the only way we can experience the world is
through this sort of made up a system of currency. Yeah. No,
it's very pervasive, and I agree. I agree. It's good
to get out of that mind frame sometimes, if if
it's possible, I don't know that it is. Yeah, meditation
is good. Check out meditation. Check out What is something

(07:26):
you think is underrated? Figs? Who figs are the sense?
Your whole appearance on the show is fig base. I
have like six boxes of figs in my fridge currently
because they're available like three weeks a year, and they're
the best tasting, like fresh fresh figs, so not dried

(07:47):
like the fruit doing yourself eating dried figs. Look, I'm
leaving like the pleas I'll get my things and go fresh.
I didn't understand why everybody, like in history books, like
the Saltan was eating figs and like them. Now I
get it. They're the friend of salts. They're food. Yeah,

(08:07):
you can't just get figs on the rag. No, it's
really hard to get figs. They're super expensive, but they're
the most I would eat trates crates of figs every
day if I could, and everybody doesn't like them. I
don't get it. So are they underrated? Are they just rare?
I mean I think most I think they're underrated because
I offer them to people all the time free of charge,
and they're like the streets doing the lord's work. And

(08:28):
I'm like, you don't know what you don't know what,
you're missing, You're crazy. This is so weird because my
mother in law's in town and was really pushing Figs
on me earlier this week, and I was like, what
is that? He and you were like a figure like
resistant Because it wasn't that I didn't want them. I
just wasn't in the mood to eat anything. And I
also thought they'd be messier than they were only easy

(08:49):
to eat. Yeah, they're really easy to eat, yeah, like perfect.
I've always had a bad impression of them because like
fig Newton's right, Yeah, figs are gross. Fake. Newton put
its stamp on fake, and I believed him. I believe Newton.
Fig Fig Newton. Is it like a tray of bar

(09:10):
like snacks, you know what I mean? If it's it's
like this number six or number seven thing I will
turn to in a case of desperation, like I need
a bar like snack. It's kind of like Carbi and
like Jammy it was a bit of sweet. I'll do
like it. I'll have a fig Newton. But I'm not
a fan. It was like daycare food. It was like yeah, yeah, yeah,

(09:32):
I just feel like something a baby just like like
choose on to like it's really wet, very very soft,
can't soggy. Fig Newton Those and bananas are among the
foods that you can just give a kid and not
worry about them choking and then leave the room. Yeah,
leave for a week. It's just a box of the
fig Newton's. I have kids, that's bad news for them

(09:57):
in terms of them being rare. Like you know, all
fruits used to be rare and only come u of season,
like for two weeks out of the year, and then
science just you know, science did now we have strawberries
year around because that was like what there was a
lot of demand for. So figs would be less rare
if there was more demand for I'm okay with rarity, though,

(10:18):
you know, it's a bummer to not have figs. But
I think globalization and think about how much money they
could be making Lucas, that's the important thing, Lucas, You're
not behind Big Fig. I love Big Fig as much
as anybody. You know, one great SoundCloud album, but that
would be a little Figtig have a tattoo of a
small even smaller fig. I'm all into that. Yes, you

(10:42):
should take that while it's still free. Oh no, yeah, yeah,
I gotta get on it. It sounds that's moving quickly right.
All the SoundCloud sound robbers are late. There's everything I
took a little also little? Why are they also little?
They are very thin and little in staff. I guess
a diet of lean will really slim you down right,

(11:03):
I mean talk about a light casket. Yeahs as a child,
you don't want to be doing just a one pall
bearer cast. He's carried out by only one of the
rapp looks like they're carrying a basket, and he's born.
A SoundCloud wrapper is born, pa Bear. And finally, Lucas,

(11:24):
what is a myth with something people think is true?
You know to be false? A myth uh people think
is true that I know to be false? Um, okay,
I guess that recycled toilet paper is good. Okay, it's not.
I interviewed this woman who has a zero waste sort
of lifestyle, and she's like, recycled toilet paper. One paper

(11:45):
only can be recycled so many times it has it
doesn't have infinity recycling, and then it eventually ends up
as just waste. And recycled toilet paper in specific is
bleached and with b p A with b p A
s which are like supercarcon a genic um. So every
time you're using recycled toilet paper, you're basically rubbing yourself
down with these highly carson yeah, ask cancer, and it

(12:08):
leaks into our groundwater and then our landfills and our
our ground because the b PA escapes the toilet paper eventually,
and that's what's left behind. So we're sort of poisoning
our butt holes and the planet the planet's buttholes as well.
What do you use on your butt? Oh, so you
just shampoo your butt. It's not shampoo, it's water. It's

(12:30):
just water. Could I add soap to it if I want?
I'm sure you could find a way. It would be
a complicated, a complicated rig that you could do it.
It's really easy. You can get in an Amazon bron delts.
Do you have a hair dry. Do you use dry?

(12:50):
I mean you just you know, I'll dab, I like
dab dry with what. I'm so curious. You know, I
think bamboo toilet papers may be better recycle alright, but frankly,
you don't you know you can just you can just
air dry. You know. You know, a nice breezy day
if you're in comfort of your own home, right, you
just don't pull your pants up around? Yeah, I got

(13:12):
it big, but I don't know. There's like a lot
of hair. I have a fan that I sit on
the afternoon. It's nice, right yeah. Yeah. Now is it
hard to get a Biday installed in your bathroom? It
was hard because for me because I have a total
brand toilet, which are these japanesee Like oh yeah, they're
like the fort Knox of toilets. They're like made to

(13:33):
be one piece unbreakable ceramic fortresses. Um. But for most toilets, uh,
it's it's a pretty easy installed process. All right. Well,
you can get it on Amazon for like thirty bucks.
There you go, do it. People. You'll save so much
money on to itself and on you know ask cancer,
which is very expensive. Yeah, Ask cancer is very expensive.

(13:54):
And I comfortable. Yeah, gentleman by the name of Barack
Obama's back, you guys. He gave a speech at the
University of Illinois that had just some some great rhetoric
that would unite us all if half the country wasn't
just like bouncing on the balls of their feet, just
ready to jump on whatever he says and be offended

(14:15):
by it. But his overall message was that Trump's not
America's biggest problem. In America's biggest problem is indifference, which
was a nice refreshing message, I think because it's something
that people can actually solve and do something about, as
opposed to the news cycle and just the zekeeist in

(14:36):
general these days makes people feel a little bit helpless
and like they don't really have any control over over
the world or you know, the news cycle. And I
think his point was, you know, get out there and vote.
Did you guys hear the speech here? Any parts of it? Um?
I heard it, and I heard I mean I read
quotes on Twitter. Yes, there you go. So it's practically

(14:59):
like Brock was sitting next to me right, did anything here?
I mean, he's always a moving speaker, and I've seen
him and heard him speak a ton of times, and
what he's saying is not stuff that I guess I'm
unfamiliar with. So I was just like, okay, cool, cool,
Yeah we should be voting. Yeah, we shouldn't be getting
you know, complacent or cynic or cynical, cynical. Thank you.

(15:24):
My brain is not functioning on full form yet. But
I I don't know. I think Trump could get a
second ar Yeah, no, I think it's totally possible. It
feels almost inevitable. Yeah, I don't know. So some part
of me this morning was like, a ship, this is

(15:44):
really going to rev up the Trump base. But people
were saying that that's not necessarily true, that he's gone
out and stumped for liberal candidates in the past and
it hasn't gotten the Republicans out anymore. It's just their
levels of participation of stay at this him and Democrats
have shown out in higher numbers. But the right, like

(16:05):
Ben Shapiro, was like, um, Obama lecturing us is how
you got Trump in the first place, which is probably
what he'd say if he was just worried that Obama
talking to the country was like bad for his side. Yeah,
I mean Obama galvanizing the country isn't what caused Trump
to be able? Like so, yeah, I mean, does it

(16:25):
ever feel like, you know, these sort of like moments
are just this endless feedback loop. It's just the same
people saying the same things over and over and over
and over and over again. Yeah, Like, I mean, I
don't know what sort of analysis of actual impact these
sort of like like the conversation, Like Obama makes a speech,
the right gets upset, the left defends it. Like it

(16:47):
feels like this sort of is happening ad infinitum, Like
at what point does it's still matter to everyone that
we that Ben Shapiro criticized Obama, Like, I mean, does
it still matter? It still matters deeply to me? Because
I him a Shapiro head, I'm a huge fan. Uh No.
I I think his argument is disingenuous and bullshit, and

(17:07):
I think more of a sign of I think it's
more of a sign of them being a little bit scared.
We're worried about because this is the first time that
Obama has come out and directly addressed the state of
the nation and Trump in particular, and I think he
did it in a way that wasn't lexury. Like I
think sometimes you can look at people's words and see

(17:28):
what like they'll use the word that they want to
be true and like, so he wished that Obama came
off a lecturing, but it was really like a unifying
message and kind of rhetorically pretty smart and not lexury
the way that he did it. Yeah, and and essentially
this speech is the equivalent of a U up text
from the one that got away, like you know, we

(17:51):
did we did our bay barocks so dirty. And then
he went on vacation, he lived his best life. Uh,
you know, he's finer than ever. And he came back
and it was just like it's like having a cathartic
talk with the eggs, like, yeah, man, I know I
sucked up. You're like, yeah, you did sunk up, but hey,
you can always change your life, but not with me
though I've moved on. Yeah. But he seemed to be

(18:12):
really reaching his hand out to everybody except for the
powerful and the privileged. So in a sense he may
have been lecturing Ben Shapiro if because he might be
one of the few people who's like I am powerful
and privileged. That's how I identify. Do you think anybody's
listening to Obama who doesn't already listen to Obama? Like,

(18:32):
do you think that like any part of the right,
I think there is actually open to listening to the
man they literally despise. I don't think that that speech
is for the right, I know, but you know what
I mean. I'm just like, so the people who are listening, though,
are like, what what new audiences he reached? I don't
think he's probably reaching the thirty nine percent of people
who are still supporting Trump. But Trump didn't win with

(18:52):
only those people, and also one with people who were
Obama voters and then came over to the Trump side.
And now Trump has lost part of the people who
voted for him, like not a huge part, but still
a percentage of them. And you know, I think the
people at home, right, like the people who didn't vote
in the last election, who you know, who didn't feel

(19:14):
as inspired. I feel like Obama has the gift of
being a talented speaker, and unfortunately we live in a
country that sustains itself more on entertainment than it does
on education, so people need their dick's hard to go vote.
You know, yeah, I guess, like I still think like
for me, I guess I always think that's a candidate issue,
Like you know what I mean, Like, yeah, it was.
If Obama makes a million great speeches, but you have
a shitty candidate, people are still going to be less

(19:35):
motivated to go vote, but they'll still be motivated to
vote if they're worried about the alternative. Although we've seen
in the past with like elections like John Kerry where
it was like we were voting against Bush and that's
not specifically, he specifically tried to address that by connecting
people's outrage to the act of voting as opposed to

(19:58):
and I think he even specifically said, like, this is
not a popularity contest, like there's some great candidates out there,
but like this is not Coachella. It's not a rock concert.
Like you're not going there to be necessarily yeah, like inspired,
it's you're you're going there to vote to affect change
in the world around you. So I think what you're

(20:19):
talking about is specifically something he was trying to address.
So there will be no twopac holograms at the polls.
I guess that's why I was going might be the
rock I voted stickers get people out. You can put
that on your Instagram. Should we make those cuter? Yeah?
Do we need a mural like? And I voted mural
at every poll. Yeah, I'll come take Instagram photos of

(20:41):
you if you just go vote. Yeah. All right, we're
gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back. And so Trump was doing his Trump thing
at a rally at the end of last week, and

(21:03):
people started paying attention to the people behind him because
he's just on auto repeat, animatronic Trump, just spitting out
the same all the hits. So people's attention drifts to
what's going on behind him. And there was a young lady,
you know, respecting the ship out of the flag, wiping
her nose on it, which for some reason, people didn't

(21:25):
object to that, even though that's the sort of thing
that if an NFL player did it, who man, they
would freak out. But anyways, I have a real tough time.
If Tom Brady did, it'd be tough to figure out
how to feel about. A lot of people would be
really confused. Feeling is disrespectful for the flag, but you
can stick that ship all the way up your nose

(21:46):
on national television. Um. I do feel really bad for
her because she looks like she's you know, middle school
aged person and is probably getting a lot of ship,
but she's also at a Trump rally, so that's on
her um. So there's also this dude who was like
right over Trump's right here, who seemed to be, you know,
reacting appropriately because he was like what at a couple

(22:09):
of points, like literally mouthing the words of what after
Trump said something particularly wild. It was like looking into
the middle distance like just kind of uh shocked and
horrified as to what the president was saying, and but
not like overly, so like he wasn't like hamming it
up really And then at a certain point, a young
woman who looked she really has the same look as

(22:33):
Kavanaugh's assistant who was sitting behind him and Dana lash
The She's got like that straight Burnett hair look that
there's apparently like a factory for conservative women that turns
these folks out. But she comes up and just like
moves him out of the She's just like, you have
to leave, and he's like escorted out the other direction.

(22:56):
And then there are these other people, a couple of
dudes wearing maga hats who aren't doing anything really bad,
but a pretty Trump staffer comes up and replaces them
and begins just smiling like a cheerleader. It's just like yes,
And then another woman comes up then is smiling. So
they want the optics of you know, enthusiastic Trump supporting women, uh,

(23:21):
and they don't want any sort of dissonance. But it
ended up having the vibe of real like invasion of
the body snatcher ship. And I'd like to take credit though,
because those women came from my new modeling school, make
America Beautiful Again. I'm sure you've heard it on the
radio on Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you've heard of us

(23:44):
on the radio. We go have a convision at the
Marriott next week. Bring your checks, um. But like it's
crazy because also what they're saying is is that like, look,
you real ugly ass Trump supporters got to get the
hell out of the way. Like they replaced them with
complete plants. Like there was a girl who would just
be a quiet you love and Trump, you know what
I mean. Like she looked like she came straight out
of a hot topic and throwing the mocking hand and

(24:05):
they were like, oh no, sins gets you got the
ass out of here exactly. And it looks like they
love God, God in the Arian race. Let me get
but the most white woman white woman, right. Yeah, And
apparently ever since the Manifort and Cohen guilty please, the
energy at these events has been down. And really, yeah,

(24:31):
I thought they would it would never change. I thought
there was nothing that could say. I mean, it doesn't matter.
I'm still They're still able to fill the places. So
it's not like it are they filling it? Are they
calling central casting? Yeah? Away from the beginning, right, it
was always central right right, Well, at the beginning it
was central casting, but then it started being pretty authentically

(24:54):
a ground swell. But now it seems like it might
be going back to them having to you know, stick
staffers here and there to kind of pep things up
because everyone's like, oh he's talking about this ship again.
Um so I don't know, just you just I mean
the level of artifice and politics and generalist, I mean,
it's across the board. Yeah, as much to say it

(25:15):
is like like if you think that either of our
major political parties aren't like hand picking every single person
you see on camera as much as possible, and like
you know, like you you know, yeah you look at
um was the d and the convention last or I
say last year, but with Hilary, and you're like, it
is the most like overt diversity, like diverse. Here is

(25:38):
a woman, and here is and I you know, a
Middle Eastern American, and then someone we know there's like
a league of like acapella singers and wheelchairs. And you're like,
this is a better message. But it's just as like
if it's into some extent, feels just as artificial to
me because it's meant to manipulate us into thinking a

(26:00):
certain thing about the candidate. At the same time to yeah,
I guess it's just the idea that who you're replacing
them with their idea anybody in super it is this. Yeah,
there's something about that aesthetic. I mean you could almost
it's progressive for Republicans to have a dark haired woman

(26:23):
instead of a blonde haired woman. How big Kim Kardashians like, look,
the god damn Genners aren't going anywhere. Give us a Brunette.
Yeah we what's still like Betty and Veronica like levels
of divers exactly watch out now, Brunette. I think I
think Brunette, it's not the artifice that gets to me
because I agree with you, lucas it is. It does

(26:45):
cross party lines, and sometimes it is nice to see
yourself represented in this manner because this is obviously not
like acting, you know what I mean, That is just
seeings people on television. But what's interesting to me is
like how they go about it, Like I want this
ship to be behind the scenes. Don't know what the
podium was, Yeah, who was gonna be standing by truck
and y'all let this little his eyes looked badgy as

(27:05):
fun like they should have known. He was not supposed
to be standing behind the president. It's like the Wizard
of Oz. You're like, really, you put the curtain and
the controls directly next to the hologram, like I could
have had like a separate room whereby like at least
like Ed Harris was in the Moon watching Truman, you
know what I mean, Like he had a little bit
of distance. You were going to see him in the
same shot, and he wasn't like walking behind Jim Caribbean

(27:28):
like okay, uh, let's get another let's get another pretty
lady over here and then but you know, it was
a little bit more covert, right, and they weren't even
feels like they respect your intelligence a little bit more.
You want them to respect respect you with their lives,
and Trump doesn't give an His lives have become so
lazy and like these that's what I mean. I'm like,
come on, you can't even act like we're looking at

(27:49):
you right now, like y'all like suck it. He mastered
the superpower of being able to come up with a
lazy lie and believe it himself immediately. It's really beautiful.
Speaking of which, so he has now decided that the
New York Times op ed from somebody within the Trump
White House and also part of the resistance. According to

(28:12):
the author, that that is an attack on the country,
and he is saying that he wants Jeff Sessions in
the Department of Justice to investigate to find out who
did this. And I kind of want them to do
that too, because I think it would just be first
of all, I think the person who did this is
like not, you know, not the hero that they think

(28:33):
they are. And it to me felt like they were
trying to be like, look, don't hang us all at
the end of the day, exactly like the g don't
put us all in the A team when it all go,
When it all when when the consequences start coming, when
some of us were on we're secretly playing for the
other team. Right, that sounds like I think I'll say

(28:53):
who I am, but then wons I'm Spartacus, And I
mean it is also I think true that it's probably
some sort of national security threat for the reason that
Trump's attorneys were asking Muller not to interview him in

(29:14):
the sense that like that they were worried that the
transcript of Mueller talking to Trump would leak and other
leaders of foreign nations would know how dumb Trump is.
Like that was specifically what kept secret. Yeah, and so
the way that the op ed makes the White House
seemed dysfunctional and makes him seem just like a complete

(29:38):
you know, lame duck probably isn't good for our national security.
But it's not for the reason like he thinks it's
because there's like a a coup that's going to overthrow him,
And it's just like I think, you know, the opposite
of the inverse of that is an argument can be
made that it's better for national security because it's offering
the idea that there's a logical fail safe, right, some
there's actually someone at the steering wheel. Yeah right, yeah, No,

(30:00):
was like a message to the world too, to be like, hey,
don't think you're playing with a toddler totally. There are
adults here at the in the in the seats of
power and in the throne room, and just you know,
however you're you're treating us, however you think Donald Trump,
how moronic you think this this infant is who's currently president.
There are real adults there who still have decision making

(30:20):
power and can and can keep the agenda somewhat on track. Yeah.
But on the other hand, I just want to know
who it is, Lucas, so don't argue with me. I
mean right, nobody, nobody plays clue to keep the mystery
right exactly. I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later.
Let's move on to other Who who's your bet weird
billionaire even uh, I haven't spent too too much time

(30:44):
thinking about it. I my guests would be somebody who
we whose name I don't know. How wouldn't be surprised
if it's Kushner. Yeah, you know what I mean? That
guy is so that him and Ivanka are so desperate
to play both sides for their own advantage. Like something
something out of their camp would would shock me. But
I don't think they're smart enough or responsible enough to
have that view, right, Yeah, that would be really interesting

(31:06):
if it was. Alright, let's move on to big podcast news,
and we're bringing in super producer on a. Hosnie Ellen
Musk's appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast is rocking the
financial world because he got high on the Joe Rogan
podcast and yeah, you you watched a good bit of

(31:30):
this an a Yeah, man, you know it really made
me realize, like one, I don't understand science at all,
and two if you're a white man with a monotone voice,
like my attention span is immediately so sorry, I didn't
even know you were in here. Exists. Literally that was

(31:53):
a confidence though, to be so confident that people will
listen to you, that you put no infection in one day.
I'm as sound just like PR, like be's I'm interested.
It's real. We were saying. I was saying the other day,
like you could do a best of NPR like album,
just call it white Noise. Yeah that's real. Yeah, it's

(32:14):
an interesting episode where, um, you know, I don't listen
to the Joe Rogan podcast, but I always like, I've
seen clips of it. I have an idea of what
it's like. Joe Rogan, you know, likes to get deep.
You know, he likes to talk about the things. He
likes to talk about multiple universes. You know, he does
the thing. He likes dampt, likes drugs, he's open, um,
he likes mm A, just a kidding, the the buzz,

(32:35):
all the letters K. You know, he would probably defend
Louis c K. Who knows, but um, yeah, it's I
have never actually seen Elon Musk speak, and that I
think was the most interesting things. Like, I feel like

(32:56):
I wasn't even listening to him halftime, It's just watching
his facial expressions. I really recommend that you have the
sound I did. But the thing is like it was
all drowning out because he's like and you know when
the Linux corn tex, you know, it was a whole thing.
So they talk about how the world's a simulation we live,
you know, they discuss whether or not there's like multiple
universes that were just you know, not seeing and then um,

(33:19):
of course they opened the show while smoking weed, which
Elon Musk asks, it's legal, isn't it? At first, he
doesn't even know if the joint is a cigar or
a joint. He's just like, yeah, it was pretty fatty.
Sounds like a blunt. It sounds like it was a
fatty yeah, and he like really squints his eyes to
look at it, be like, oh, Mari marijuana. You can

(33:40):
tell He's like, I'm I'm Elona, I'm cool, Lettuce. My
impression of my impression of his appearance was takes one
hit off a joint. And then it's like Instagram's a facility.
He does make a very common point that Instagram's a facade,
that we're not all make it see even it's like,

(34:07):
but we have some clips from it. There's one where
he is talking about us merging with AI because that's
our future. We have no choice. If you can't beat them,
join them. So I talked to a neuroscientist recently, and
who's who's talking about neurological enhancements and how they're they're inevitable. Yeah,
we're right right around the corner. Yeah, and then and
then it will be classes because the only certain people

(34:29):
will be able to afford them, Right, I can afford
them brain? Oh yeah, I'm gonna be rich enough to
have me the most souped up brain, right, okay, and
that like a Tokyo drift of brains, yes, brain, and
then that will be another there, that'll be yet another
advantage that rich people used to keep down poor people. Right,

(34:51):
I planned to be rich and also oppressing. By that time,
my brain will have a new paint job. All right,
let's listen to Ellen says, and this will be like
a game where we all try to see how long
we can stay awake during this. Okay, do you think
that it's likely that we will merge somehow or another
with this sort of technology and it will augment what

(35:14):
we are now or do you think it will replace us? Well,
that's the scenario. The emerged scenario with AI is the
one that seems like probably the best from inside to
join it. That's yeah, you know, uh huh okay, so cool.

(35:40):
What else do we have? And then we have for
He goes on to talk about how we basically our
brains are too slow and we really need to step
it up to become you know, which is why we
just try. Yeah, he says, we don't have the bandwidth
to just continue to compete with a eye, so we
must become that and so that's what he goes on

(36:02):
to say. And then here's another clip where he talks
about different new things that the Tesla can do that
we weren't aware of, which is just unnecessary to breakfast,
make your toast vacuum no ship here it comes. What
could it do that that I need to know about?

(36:22):
I mean, the Model X can do this like ballet
thing to try and Sabarian orchestra that's pretty cool where
it dances. Yes, legitimately when he moves around to why
would you program that? It must be difficult to work
for Elon Musk because he's like, make it dance. This
is going to make makes the Tesla guys, I guess

(36:45):
we gotta make the cars dance now. Fuck us. Before
you thought men just loved women and cars, but really
they just want the car to a woman. Lord Musk
has demanded we make the cars. It's the ballet of
the night. Okay, what's that shitty sport where you make
courses dance dressage dressage? Yeah, you had that way to

(37:14):
my band with his crazy I'm over here with the
spectrum WiFi brain. Yeah. Anyways, he's trying to usher in
the next era of shitty rich sports with card dressage.
So if you have two and a half hours to

(37:34):
listen to Elon Musk and drown on it is so
absurd that I was just listening because I was like,
what is he going to say next about science? I
guess like he's so important that you're always like, no
matter how bad the conversation is, you're like, well, we
have to go. We have to go as long as
he lets us, because he's incredibly influential, right, fucking power.

(37:56):
Well he Elon decides when an interview ends, right, because
you're just like, funk. I mean, maybe he'll say something.
I think he should change the world. I think he's
trolling himself a little bit, and I think he's lost
a little bit. There's also a great moment where he
where Joe Rogan shows him a Samurai sword and he
just observes it for five minutes and his face is hilarious.
So I just recommend going to look just for that

(38:17):
because he's just like, I mean, that's sucking great though,
Like ur is like coming, I'm going to show him
by Samurai's like eight year old boy, move, check out this.
It's a real sword, you know, samurai. Huh yeah, Like,
but Kenned dance starts dancing with the sword, he puts

(38:41):
it in the celas and anna. It should be pointed
out that it doesn't look like he knows how to
smoke weed or that he inhaled it. No, he definitely
did not inhale the actual weed. You see him hit
it and the smoke comes out immediately. If you have
ever smoked weed, you know you have to inhale the
weed into your lungs to destroy them. And he has

(39:03):
said in the past that he's not a marijuana smoker.
You can tell. He's just very clear. He's trying to
be cool with old Joe Roguin. So overall, Tesla stock
has been down in the crest month by quite a bit.
But uz but they dance to know. So in the
past month it's down from three seventy when it started,

(39:24):
and at the beginning of the day it was at
two eighty. After this podcast went public, though, it dropped
to to sixty, like just straight down. People are like, oh,
this guy's a fucking idiot. Yeah, I'm sure if you
you're thinking of like if you're thinking of a giant
company and you're thinking of like money. And then you
see the head of the company smoking weed with Joe Rogan.

(39:47):
Clearly you're gonna be like, Okay, where is this going?
You know, that's the thing. They're all like that, all
these things. They're all especially the tech bros. They the
past week, they were all out of Burning Man together.
But I'm not seeing dressed as extras from the fifth element.
You know, this is who runs the world, and necessarily

(40:07):
intelligent people. It's opportunists, fortunate people. They have the brains
and enough to be like, I'm not gonna, you know,
broadcast this because if we don't, you can do whatever
you want. I just don't want to see you smoking
weed with Joe Rogan and then being like okay. So
you know, we live in this age with like immediate
availability and transparency, like you know, you get the Kanye's
of the world, the Donald Trump's the world who market

(40:29):
their brand off of off of availability and like a
ubiquitous celebrity. True, but old white men who's selling stock
are like where is your suit? Commercials too much for
the But you know, I just think that, like I
think a lot of people are being tricked into thinking
that it's always good for your brand to be like

(40:50):
as as visible as and it's like and let the
chaos be visible too, because that's somehow compelling in and
of itself. People's imaginations, especially when you're successful, can can
sometimes be to your benefit. Yeah yeah, let me imagine.
Let me imagine that you're just in a suit everywhere

(41:10):
you go. I think the thing Kanye did so well
for a long time was like being able to step
outside of himself and like see himself like and like
sort of do things with that in mind. And he
lost that ability recently. And I think Trump has a
pretty good sense of like what his appeal is to
people and is able to like work with that and
manipulate it. And I think that is what Elon Musk

(41:32):
just doesn't have. He like doesn't know what we want
from him, or what people want from him, and what
his like the people who run his company want from him.
He's just like trying. He's just like, no, I can
do anything. It's all a simulation. Uh, you know, nothing matters.
He also was raised by you know, multi millionaires and

(41:55):
carried around and see a child of great fortune. Yeah,
he walked around with emeralds in his pockets. That's a
true story. He was walking around New York City with
emeralds in his pocket, so like he you know, you
don't have loose emeralds in your pockets. His parents owned
like an emerald mine mine, yeah, which is only the

(42:16):
richest of people, emerald mine because nothing else. I'm glad
I came for that. That's amazing. His dad just had
a child with Ellen's step sister, so what he was
there from her birth to like forward, it's not his daughter,

(42:42):
but just had a child with her. Yeah, wood so cool.
And additions to the Webster's dictionary. So they added some
food based words to the Merriam Webster Dictionary. Just just

(43:03):
the dictionary is trying to keep up with with the millennials.
It seems like it is the most millennial dictionary. They're active.
The added words like guawk hungry, which funck off. That's
a word that's absolutely a word, you know, I do.
But portmanteau is a word for a reason, Yeah, I

(43:25):
guess so. Jung is good avo What is that related?
What our abbreviations considered their own words? You can spell
like if you're going to really go deep into scrabble
and things like that. The spelling of letters or words
like yeah and things like that. You know, there's sounds,

(43:45):
there's a I think anything that is a is a
discreet object that conveys a meaning, right, can be sort
of like becomes a word if it becomes culturally used enough. Right,
it's all about usage. Well, I do one appreciate that
because it started to incorporate way more like a V
words V words, which is the African American vernacular English,

(44:08):
which black people have always gotten shipped for for speaking differently,
like oh, ain't ain't a word, And it's like the
King's English was made up. Everything's made up, so like
you know what I mean. So I do appreciate Merriams
for incorporating a lot of English that has been used
widely by different races and cultures but wasn't necessarily acceptable
by white America. So keep going, Miriam Webson, let me

(44:31):
get l O L isn't there? Yeah? I think it
like if you look at like German as a language, right,
it's usually it's so many of the words are the
combinations of other words and things that you just sort
of endlessly put together, which is like a really cool thing.
But it's like baffling is very millennial. Though I think angry,
I absolutely think it should be. The next additions to

(44:53):
Miriam was de Funck f you qu I will say
that I was wrong about hungry, because that is something
that I'm the older I get, the more I realized
that I just wasn't aware of my body enough to
realize that that's why I was in a bad mood.
It was like, Oh, I haven't eaten like since last night. Uh,

(45:14):
And yeah, that's a that's a real thing that people
deal with that we should be probably more aware of.
On the other end of the spectrum, some of the
darker additions are tent city and food bank hyphenated or
it must be hyphenated because you can't put a two word.
The way it's written on our dock is just as
two words, but they wouldn't put two words separately, and

(45:36):
so it must be. You know, That's something that even
as the conservative media and even a lot of the
mainstream media is emphasizing that the economy is booming and
consumer confidence is way up, other things that are way
up are like people going to visits to food banks
and soup kitchens and stuff like that. Like that sort

(45:57):
of thing is way up. So as they're these economic
indicators that show, you know, rich people are making more
and more money, poverty is getting worse somewhere in the country.
I mean, it's all about it's like metrics, right, But
like if you measure GDP or something like that, you're like, oh,
things are great, right if you measure overall expansion. But
it's when you start breaking it down into demographics that
you're like, oh, most of this money is only going

(46:19):
to a few people. Exactly. The economy is actually doing
terribly for most people. And we're going to have the
words to describe it because food bank and the other
on food bank, food bank, intents city. Yeah, Like, the
words just keep getting darker and darker. There's a there
is a My favorite word that exists in any language

(46:40):
is this Russian word that means man cow. And it
was invented to describe a person that you would be
in the gulags with and you would let them like
eat your food to fatten them up, and then escape
the gas with them and then eat them as you
crossed the tundra. And that's why they called but they

(47:02):
had a fucking word for that is what a new
meaning for a snack like a snack. All right, We're
gonna take a quick break and then we'll talk more
Russian food when we come back. And we're back, and

(47:29):
a couple updates from producer Nick Stump. Over the break,
Jared Kushner jar Bear as I call him, was trapped
outside of a door that he couldn't get into and
surrounded by reporters who were shouting at him questions about
whether he wrote the op ed and he refused to answer,
so Boom might have called it. And the other reason

(47:51):
this is kind of a big deal is because Kushner
is one of the very few people who has not
come out and released a statement saying I did not
write that op ed, so it seems like he might
have something to hide. And also a super producer, Nick
stunp does not believe that abo is a word come
to silver like man. Yeah, they will not be able

(48:12):
to communicate eventually. We're just gonna stop saying always something
went to the That's like a full sentence and I
get extra all right, as I was saying, we're moving
on to more Russian food talk from man Caw to

(48:34):
Domino's Pizza. Uh, they're trying to make it big in Russia,
and they have decided to give away one hundred free
pizzas to any Russian who gets a tattoo. That's one
hundred free pizzas a year for a century, which is
two hundred thousand dollars worth of pizza over the course

(48:56):
of a century. Um, how might be Just do you
think you eat a year? Oh my god, I don't
want to. I'm the wrong personally break it down by
week if you're like, in an average week, how many
Actually that's true. When I was younger, I probably ate
like pizza every day of my life. So yeah, you
know a couple I'd say I probably not two pizzas

(49:19):
a week. No, No, probably not two pizzas a week.
You're right, Yeah, that's a lot of pizza. It is
a lot of pizza. Yeah, but it's also dominad dominos.
But is it like a small like nine eight whatever,
the small pizzas, you know, those personal pizzas that used
to Yeah, I feel like like you get for like
book it. Did you guys ever have booket that was
Pizza Hunt in Chica Pizza Hut. Yeah, yeah, six hundred

(49:41):
pages or something like that, or six hundred minutes. I
don't know I can't remember six and the like a
sticker and you give you a free like personal pan pizza.
That ship was amazed. We had that in Texas every Friday.
We had that in Texas. I mean dominods is Bay.
I've talked about Dominoes on the show before, Like that
was texting me every day. I'm cheating on Dominoes right
now out with Celery. It's made out of Yes, it's

(50:03):
not a good relationship, but I gotta do what I
gotta do. I gotta lose weight. But the Dominoes text me,
I'm like, don't, don't text me no more. I told
you not to contact me on this line. But I
would get a tattoo for if it was for you
could get what everyone like. Some of these are very creative,
Like it's like a Dominoes and then there's like a

(50:23):
claw and then what did it say, like forever slave
to free, be slave to free. That's the wrong country
to do that, and because Russians will do anything, gives
zero fux. But that's two for a hundred free pieces
a year for a century. So they immediately called this off,
by the way, because because they were deluged. Sure, this

(50:43):
is too good a deal for Russian people who don't
give a funk, which is about of the Russian population.
That's a terrific test. Absolutely, it's a terrible idea. And
Russians are famous for their crazy tattoos. My favorite genre
of YouTube videos is just Russians not giving a funk
about like crazy stuff, like that video of the dude
driving and the meteor is coming towards the plane and

(51:06):
he just is like driving, changes the channel to like
listen to it like a different song, but like doesn't
do anything, doesn't even But what would you do? What
would you? What would you what would be like? Oh,
thank god he ran away from his car, right, I
don't think the meteor would have hit him though. Yeah,
well at a certain point you gotta be like what
else you know, it's all the meteor's head. That's like

(51:29):
the Russian mentality. Sure, absolutely, Well they've been through the
ship they have that country has had a crazy censure
bacoming little water. Yeah they yeah, they all just had
a little water and went down to the tattoo parlor.
It was like, yeah, suck it up, give me the
dumb in those Yeah, I would do it for you,

(51:52):
like if I got freedominous for the rest of my life.
I might I have no tattoos, but I might get
a dumbness because you can put it anywhere, right, Yeah,
you can look cute little angle joint. That's for bay.
And yeah, it's an investment. It's an investment. So there's
the story that's been kind of percolating. We've revisited a

(52:13):
couple of times now on the podcast about diplomats in
Cuba and in China who are reporting having like basically
they were calling them sonic attacks, like they would hear
strange sounds and then they would start feeling like they
were concussed the next day. And earlier last week, it

(52:34):
was being reported that the military and the doctors they
had looking into it were considering microwave weapons as a
prime suspect because there is a theoretic possibility, theoretical possibility
that you could use microwaves to basically cause sonic illusions

(52:56):
in people's minds. Are you telling me I need the Yes,
that's exactly what dangerous. Yeah, well, it's a theoretical possibility. Also,
the New York Times article that everybody was reacting to
was just saying microwaves were a prime suspect, and like
the Fox News is and other you know, garbage publications

(53:18):
of the world took that to mean that that was
exactly what it was. And a lot of doctors are
now basically calling bullshit on this report. Uh. I think
a lot of people are on you know, I've been
saying I thought it was mass hysteria since the very
first article, and or you know, a social contagion is

(53:39):
another way of putting it, because all right, uh, there's
my conspiracy theory music. But you know, it's not that
they didn't feel these symptoms. They have the symptoms. It's
just that, like anything, your mind can cause physical symptoms.
I don't know if it's real or not, what happened,
if there was an attack or not. But I find
it hard to believe that Cuba in any way, shape

(53:59):
or formers behind end it um because just the political
position they're in right now. I went for a visit
their last year with the Nation magazine, which is like
a cool leftist rag um. But you know, we spent
a lot of time being fed a certain amount of
like government propaganda, but also getting to interview and talk
to a lot of different types of Cubans, and uh,

(54:22):
they need a relationship with the United States badly, like
it is so in their best interest to have a
working trade agreement with the United States and to have
a more economic interaction with their their natural organic trading
partner ninety miles away the coast of Florida. You know,
it doesn't make any sense to be attacking US diplomats

(54:42):
or to be endanger as they're opening the window and
opening the door to a better and more fruitful relationship
in the United States. That it makes no sense. Yeah,
and China maybe I don't know, right, And some people
are saying Russia. Some people are saying China because then
it's spread to diplomats in China. Right. But the other
thing is that microwave weapons are a thing that the U. S.

(55:04):
Military has been investigating and investing in and trying to
develop for many years and just weren't able to. So
if you believe it's microwaves, you also believe that another
country has created a weapon that not only have we
not been able to create yet, but we didn't We

(55:25):
still don't know that it's possible, and most scientists don't
think it's possible. Yeah. Actually I interviewed this one Mary Wareham,
who's from the Human Rights Campaign. Uh and uh she
she on my podcast Saving the World with Baron Lucas.
But she she uh, her whole thing is that she
works against weapons of particular cruelty and warfare, and uh,

(55:45):
we're talking about like, you know, she helps stop the
use of blinding lasers, dazzling lasers, cluster bombs, intercontinental ballistic missiles,
and IBM treaty in the nineties that she was responsible for.
She's now working to stop killer robots because we're like
two to three outs from totally autonomous sort of terminators,
robot robot war Um. But but a point that sort

(56:06):
of came up in our conversation was that, uh, the
two world leaders far and away for creating these crazy, crazy,
crazy weapons for the US and Israel. Yes, like the
entire world is like absolutely, we want to stop using
these crazy weapons because they're the ones that the weapons
get used on most of the time. And the US
and Israel like, yeah, cool, don't you want to die

(56:30):
in a cool exciting way? Dazzling lasers? Come on, come
to West Hollywood, enjoy the dazzling lasers, you know. Um.
But yeah, so you know it's it's hard to believe.
Like you said that another country has beaten the US
to the punch with like new weapons technology was Viking.
If you're listening out there and you're worried about your

(56:50):
microwave for sixty dollars, I will come to your house
and fight your microwave. I mean, I've never trusted my toaster.
Just first things first, I will fight all of the
much so much trust in my toaster. I trust my
toaster with like with my life. I love toast. If
there's anything I can make into toast, I'm gonna do
it so good. I grow mine in a toast griller

(57:13):
because I need to see what then the toast is
up to toaster. Have a lot of trust to stick
something in a toaster because it is just down there percolating.
You learn it, You learn it. You know what I mean.
There's getting to know each other. No pass code on
my toaster. But the Washington Post published an article with
a more kind of complete scientific consensus that's saying They

(57:35):
basically said, you know, there's an old scientific aphorism that
extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and they're not giving the
extraordinary evidence. They're not giving any evidence. So I'm still
leaning towards social contagion. It's an actual illness. It's that
that's not a thing that's like, ah, there are a
bunch of wacky kids got it in their head. It's
an actual illness. It will cause physical symptoms. It's just

(57:58):
the human mind is a crazy thing and we just
don't even come close to understanding. But microwave weapons is
the thing that we should be able to understand and
would have figured out by now probably. Um. And finally
we wanted to talk about Nicki Minaj. So Jeffrey Owens
is what was the name of his character on the
Cosby Show? Do you remember Alvin? Yes? So Alvin was

(58:27):
I think he defined the name Alvin. Yeah, so that
in the Chipmunk. Yes, Well, he took it over. The
Chipmunk just couldn't get work after Jeffrey took me. When
you think about it, the name Alvin and the Chipmunks
is incredibly misleading because you immediately assumed that he's not
a chipmunk, right, because Alvin with other chipmunks. But it's

(58:48):
like Destiny's child, like there was children, Yeah, but it
was Beyonce who was the child. Yeah, because it was
her mom who named it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she wasn't
trying to be subtle. No, and right, she was right,
she was very right, speaking of earlier. Earlier with Beyonce
is a great example of someone who is ubiquitous but
still mysterious. Oh yes, because she keeps things to herself. Yeah,

(59:09):
you don't know anything about her really, Yeah, because it
allows us to all keep her up on that pedestal.
So she looks so good up there, Yeah, she looks amazing.
Maybe Alvin has like a O. J's theory on race,
like that's how Alvin views himself as a chipmunk. He's like,
I'm not a chipmunk. I'm Alvin. Everybody knows. Everybody knows it.

(59:38):
What was that guy he was with? Dave? Dave, Dave,
He's crazy so like, you know, having kids, I now
have these like radio stations, like streaming stations where it's
just like children's music and chipmunk songs will come on,
and Dave is just a barely contained rageaholic the whole time.

(59:58):
He's just like a Dan you shut the funk, Like
he's so mad all the time. It's crazy. Anyways, Jeffrey
owns somebody saw him working a non acting job at
Trader Joe's. His shirt looked a little dirty. He might
have just been like moving some dusty boxes in the
back of the Trader Joe's and they would like took

(01:00:18):
video of him, and we're like, what are you doing, idiot? Why?
Why are you working a real job? Loser? Look a
little dusty for Trader jokes. He looked dusty for a
Trader Joe's employee. Uh, And he was like this is
you know, I do other jobs besides acting, because acting
is not the steadiest of work. And people were immediately

(01:00:40):
like this poor man. And Nicki Minaj decided to get
involved and has chosen to donate two dollars to him
Nicky to get off those pills and potions. What a
what an embarrassing donation to make. Yeah, first of all,
we know how much fun you got, girl, like what
this is barely just like of all the people to

(01:01:02):
help out, not guy. Yeah, like, Jeffrey is not destitute
jobs the job he's working. He got embarrassed wrongly on
social media. That embarrassment led to great fortune those haters.
Big ups to the haters. I never knew haters could
do so much for you saw my haters. Stay strong
out there, you know, keep hating way better than donation.

(01:01:23):
Was like Childer Carry offered him a job. Though he
got several job offers off of he said he wouldn't
take no. He quit Trader Joe's. I know he quit
Trated Joe's, but it wasn't a take because I also
saw somewhere he's like, I don't want to take jobs
because of this. He was about to take a damn
job he was. He was like Bay Trader Joseph Hello,
Nicki Minaj saying I think that's what he's saying because

(01:01:44):
it would be a bad look to be like and
by there's nothing wrong with working at Trader Joe's. Good day.
I'll never be here. I wouldn't even shop here. You
never believed um yeah. I mean it's also because she's
just once. She's had so many public meltdowns as of
late that I'm just like, sis, get it together. Like

(01:02:06):
she was clowning Travis Scott calling him the whole Nigga
of the week on her podcast because he has the
number one album and she feels like she should have it.
It's not great, But you didn't hear that from me
as a black American. I love NICKI MNA, I'm kidding.
I don't have to stand up for her. She's so
homophobic and misogynist. Boo bitch bye, be mad, stay sad um.

(01:02:29):
But she she freaking like has been attacking him on
every platform, and she's like, no, I'm not mad. I'm
not mad as like girl, you are, and now here
she is on Twitter trying to flex, Like girl, if
you want to slide Gary or Jeffrey all, it's why
do you call him Gary? Named yourself Gary alvin Um.

(01:02:50):
But if you don't want to slide Jeffreys, can't you
just do that quietly through PayPal? Like we don't need
to know about it. It was less about helping him
to making sure everybody else us knew that you're right right, Yeah,
it just seems so transparently, like yeah, just chasing a trend,
donate that to one of the Merriam Webster's new food banks.
It's not only it's not only chasing the first trend

(01:03:13):
that you see, but also going with the very first
thought that that trend gives you. It's like, okay, and
well this is why I'm like, I I disagree with you.
Elon Mustard I don't think speed is the answer. I
think we need to start. I think our brains were better.
I think we're trying to act like we can make
decisions at this furious pace, and I think we inevitably
are just like making terrible decisions one after the other

(01:03:37):
and a sort of Domino's sequence, almost really dominating a
tattoo for free pizza for a century. What I mean,
it's a great choice to do. What a terrible idea
for Domino. You know, they were trying to slow down
and realize how good your pizza is. Like a small country, right,
you know what I mean, pick a small island. That's

(01:03:58):
what we're saying, Like Papa, do gain like like you know,
really test people's faith, like do it with Rastafarians who
don't believe in tattoos. Then it's like, man, you forsake
your religion, would take job a delicious msgeld for your
new god? You know are Dominoes? Yeah, man, just embraced

(01:04:20):
being evil, you know what I mean? But be smart
about Also, Nicki Minas, did you guys hear about this?
She doesn't sound like the most considerate of lovers, you
know what I mean? She was talking about how She's like,
if you're going to be with me one, I'm not
into kissing that much, so don't try and be like
kissing me that much. But I wanted three times a night,
not a lot of kissing, just get to work, make

(01:04:41):
me happy. And I was like, if some if some
guy said that, it would be you'd be like, what
a monster. I can't, but that's a woman. I'm like, yeah,
I mean three times a night. Don't kiss me or
look at me in the eyes. Don't even come in
here with a face, just a dick and legs like
the worst. You're right, it's so at, you know. Someone
actually tweeted her um after she said she was donating

(01:05:04):
the twenty five thousand dollars and they said donate as
if this man is in dire straints or a charity organization,
please use an uber ride credit to get the funk
out of my face. That's when someone tweeted Nicki Minaj.
Then she retweeted it and said, I'd rather use my
Uber ride to you to suck my things are going well,

(01:05:26):
she should be, but you can just so's she must
have just surrounded herself with some bad people. She absolutely
because you know what I mean, artists don't make decisions
by themselves at that level, you have like a posse
of people who are all helping you make decisions and
strategize and things like that, and she just doesn't have Like,
look at the production on her album. Yeah, just like
that wasn't a lot of good decisions. And they're also
just afraid to be cast out. You hear them on

(01:05:48):
her rate on her podcast and like they'll be in
the back. She's like, I'm the best rapper to ever
do it, and they're like, yeah, yeah, Nikki, You're the best.
A Queen is the number one album? Yeah yeah, yeah,
despite what bill Board says, definitely number what think like
they're just back there hyping her and it's so insane. Yeah, Oh,
Gary owns, I hope you get Gary, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, I'm
so sorry, Jeffrey. I hope you get that that apology

(01:06:11):
is not going a couple of times and Gary hanging there. Yeah,
I'm not an out of work actor. But if I
ever am, should I be tweeting apparently? Yeah. I just
hope she doesn't find this episode, Lucas. It has been
a pleasure of having you. Man, where can people find you?

(01:06:31):
Other than all that stuff we talked about up top,
stay working. But where can they find you on social media? Well,
I'm only on Instagram. Um, so you can get me
a Lucas NEF six six six. Uh yeah, yeah, that's right, guys,
I'm a wild card. Uh. You know, it's just a
lot of fun content. Uh. You know, you get a
little get to get to know the inner workings in

(01:06:53):
my mind a little bit more the things I like,
things that just like laying that tent. So you're not
on Twitter, so I can't ask you if there's a
tweet you've been enjoying. Is there a Instagram post feed
that you enjoy I mean there's a there's a bunch
of really great feed. If you high process video. Look
at this Russian. Um, there's like you know, I'd say,

(01:07:15):
look at this Russian if you're like really want to
get to understand why Domino has made a terrible decision,
Like they didn't know who they were up against. They
are an unstoppable, chaotic force that loves pizza. Sure, Look
they're just free stuff. Man. You offer free stuff to anybody,
they will take that tattoo you can get like a

(01:07:37):
sixty dollar tattoos may or may not have a Domino's
tattoo on my ass. Yeah not Yeah, you know what
I mean. It makes it's just financially it's a great investment,
is I mean? Admittedly you have to be Russian, right s.
This is once again why we need to slow down, Lacy.

(01:08:00):
Where can people find you? Oh? You can find me
on all platforms under the same name d I v
A l A c I Diva Lacey. And is there
a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh, there is a tweet
that I have been Okay, I've been enjoying a series
of tweets. I don't know if you guys have seen these.
You have to have based off of the Colin Kaepernick
Nike just do a campaign. There have been a bunch

(01:08:23):
of photos that have surfaced with other people's photos and
other quotes, like there's one of Donald Trump says, believe
in something even if you just made it up. Or
my personal favorite, which is just a bunch of letters
like school and it's kind a picture of Floyd Mayweather.
Actually just got I got sent to tweet through Instagram
