Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, sorry about that. Keep it keep it justin s
all right, the people need to know. Hello the Internet,
and welcome to Season one eighty two, Episode three of
Daily Like Guys, a production of I Heart Radio Sea Miles.
I told you when I don't do my half hour

(00:20):
of vocal warmups before we were records is what happened.
This is a podcast where we take a deep dive
into America's shared consciousness, as we were telling our guests
before we start recording. It was originally named after Carson Daily. Yeah,
the Carson Daily. Yeah. I couldn't get the rights, so

(00:42):
we had to add an eye. Well. It's also the
thing that you and I both discovered is we both
had restraining orders against Carson Daily. Really unrelated, like weird, huh,
maybe you should. I guess we'll pivot to something else that. Hey,
my name's Jack O'Brien. A k little more kaf Nation,
little less fascism. That is courtesy of Asher Classen. Classen.

(01:07):
I needed him to tell me what that was supposed
to be, because if you start a song parody with
a little I'm not gonna be able to get Mombot
number five out of my head. Oh. I was like
a little more caffe nation in my leg. Uh. And
I'm thrilled to be joined as always buy my co host,

(01:28):
Mr Miles Gray. Miles Gray deeper bluer. I'm feeling like
a sharks dick. Deeper fluor, I'm feeling like a sharks dick. Uh.
Shout out to Christie. I'm a Gucci mane at Wapple
House because look, I heard the colloquialism I'm feeling lower
than the sharks dick. That kicked off a whole investigation

(01:49):
into shark coercive sex. Uh. And then this is a
come back to the deep blue seas that was called right,
deep blue, deep blue Sea. His hat was like a
sharkush sharks fin sorry, oh, misremembered that I gotta go back. Yeah.
And then one of the best death scenes involving Sam
Jackson that movie has. Yeah, absolutely that that conversation happened

(02:13):
on Mike. Huh, the sharks dick conversation that was, but
then two continued for like twenty five minutes after we
were Remember we we were delaying recording the trending episode
because we just got swept away by the shark pick
talking like save it for the mic man. Yeah, but
then we the Google image search rabbit hole that we

(02:34):
went down on on shark dicks after we recorded, and
the people that collect them collect the whale dorks also
a collectible which are human sized whale penises. All very
interesting stuff that I'm sure our guest is excited to
talk about the talented page. Well done. Oh my god,

(03:00):
human sized whale dicks. You know. I think of whales,
I think, while so peaceful, so beautiful, but we forgot
what lies beneath. I mean literally, yeah, they can still
be peaceful and beautiful. That's all about the eye of
the beholder. I guess when they're like breaching with like
a full on woody and you're like, what is this?

(03:21):
What is this a show of force? Have either of
you ever gone like on a whale tour, Like, have
you seen a whale? I've seen a whale, but not
with the explicit you know, it was like just you know, happenstance.
It was just wonderful a coincidence that we saw a whale.
But no, I've not like gone to see the whales.
I do feel like I went. I went on one

(03:43):
once and we actually saw two whales, and I do
feel like it changed me. I feel I feel like
a different person after I saw them. Yeah, did you
see it really close? Yeah? We got pretty close. It
was cool. I just got to see like in the distance.
You're like, oh, ship, that's a whale, and then you
kind of go on with your day. But I can
only imagine because whenever I see videos of like people's

(04:04):
like free swimming, there's like a blue whale, and like
that seems so vivy, that's what I yeah, and it's
so quiet. We like it was like this I don't know,
some group on that me and my boyfriend got and
we were like, oh my god, this is the most
beautiful experience based around group on that one could probably have,
but like spiritual experiences are a group on based well,

(04:24):
we were like it was like we thought we weren't
going to see one because most of those tours you
don't end up seeing a whale and you just kind
of have to accept that. But we like got out
to it seemed really far and then they were it
got quiet. They like turned the engines off for whatever,
and it was just like purely like silent. You could
just hear the whales kind of well splashes right right

(04:45):
right it's crazy. Whales are so cool. It would be
a good like blog where you rank group on experiences
that could actually kind of be like transformative for you.
Yet these are under like. I know it looks like
a Jankee whale tour, but take that chicken group on
for the soul. Yeah, we're a podcast. Cut all this,

(05:08):
We're going to us. This is now the trailer for
our podcast. Yeah. Yeah, I've only seen whales at a distance,
but yeah, they're they're big, I'm told is that one
of the things. Yeah, big and peaceful and jury still
out for me. You had a spiritual experience seeing seeing

(05:30):
a whale. You didn't go and make a fucking documentary
about it, Like this octopus guy, you know, I mean,
you don't have to like a whole hour. And after
I didn't hang out with the whale for like a year,
he was with that octopus. Well again, do we know
if the octopus was like, dude, you're so clingy, leave
me alone. Yeah, the octopus literally was like listen, I

(05:50):
literally just got one of my arms. But because please
just leave me alone, I'm like trying to recuperate. Every
time I see you, I'm reminded of it. It's like
he's like, I'm worried that it's my fault that the
octopus got attacked, But I'm gonna go back just to say, yeah,
ask him his I hanging on that octopus are aliens,

(06:12):
but they're not They're not actual see sea life, whereas
whales are our cousins, my my octave or my whale teacher.
The sequel coming soon. Alright, Page, 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 the
things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about whether Trump

(06:32):
support is slipping. It seems like it is actually based
on polling which has always been able to perfectly read
the Trump supporting contingent, but still I'm hopeful. We'll talk
about Tucker Carlson and what his fever brain is having
to cycle through to keep the content moving. We'll talk

(06:54):
about based Marco Rubio. We'll talk about the return to
the workplace that we're all looking forward to and why
why it shouldn't happen, why it shouldn't have to happen
at least uh. We'll talk about Jeff Bezos, the billionaire
wars that were the eighties had the Coal Awards. We
have shitty billionaire space. We'll talk about whether that HBO

(07:20):
Max theatrical release strategy is actually saving movie theaters, the
Warner Brothers thing, all that, plenty more. But first page,
we like to ask our guest, what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are
or where you are or what you're up to. Okay,
so something I searched recently, uh is hummingbird tongue. Did

(07:46):
you guys know that hummingbirds have big, long tongues. Yeah,
I thought it was a straw situation. I don't know.
I thought I didn't see them carry that with them.
I thought it was just a like their beak acts
as a section. But I so, I where I'm sitting

(08:07):
right now is like where I'll sit at my desk.
I would look out this window and there's this hummingbird
who likes to hang out on the power lines right
outside here. I really love that he loves to hang
out there. He's so cute. But I took a video
to show others my cute hummingbird friend, and I was
showing it to my boyfriend and he was like, what

(08:28):
is that he like paused it on a part where
the hummingbird was sticking out its tongue and I was like, oh,
I think it's just like I think it's just like eating.
It's like it has something in its in its beak,
like I don't know. And he's like, I think that's
a tongue, And I was like, do they have tongues?
And it's a disturbing google if you're not aware of
it already. In my opinion, they're freaky. They're freaky. It's

(08:50):
like they're as long as their bill, like they look
so funny. Yeah, it's funny that you mentioned. I was
just watching a Planet of Color or whatever that new
David Attenborough series was last night, and I was watching
this hummingbird sequence or like they were mating and this
motherfucker's neck like just blew out with all these iridescent feathers,

(09:11):
and I was like, look at these fucking show off
the long tongues and wonderful plumage. Hummingbirds are magic again.
We're we're becoming a nature podcast. I know, I'm like,
I'm really talking about a lot of animals, but because
it's the whole thing, like it curls up like half
in their head or something, because like it is, it's
so long, Like it's almost like tape measure mechanism to

(09:34):
be able to contain the tongue. Yeah, they have that
little tab that you can put down to keep it
in your claiming is happenings. There's a little tab in there. Yeah,
a little tab. You know pretty much it's exactly like
a tape measure. Any ornithologists out there good at me.
They just seemed to be operating at a different like

(09:59):
like they act with time differently than other species. Like
they move so fast. I feel like I'm watching something
in like the matrix or something when I when I
look at a hummingbird. So that's why I'm so tripped
out by the fact that this one chooses to hang
out like right outside my window. This also does tell
you where I'm attest. I'm just often sitting here right

(10:19):
looking out this one, like, oh a friend, Oh my gosh,
someone wants to do. My favorite stone activity though, is
to catch a hummingbird in the wild. Like you'll get
this sw emotion camera out there, like yo, they go
fast and then you realize they're metabolisms. Times the bizars
to move like three years or something. They like can't

(10:41):
handle it. They like live fast. I young, that's the
that's the whole by No humming birds do it? Well. Yeah,
but yeah, I think you'd have to equivalent if you
if you had to like the amount of calories they burned,
you'd have to eat something like close to two thousand
calories or something like. If you're spending the amount of
energy relative to your body humming bird does. Yeah, there's

(11:04):
an onion headline from oh eighth This just made me
feel very old because I was like, oh, yeah, what
was that onion headline from thirteen years ago? That's hummingbird
back at feeder again. Grandmother reports, Well, that was the
funny thing too, is I, um My dad is really
into having Like like he's really into they They have

(11:27):
quail where he lives, and they like hang out in
the backyard and he loves to like watch them and
feed them. He's like always got to count on how
many quail there are. He's like, I think they just
had babies. Is really sweet, and he's often had hummingbird
feeders and so I texted him. I was like, I
got this hummingbird that hangs out and his immediate reply
was instructions on how I should get a hummingbird feeder.

(11:48):
He goes, Okay, two parts water, one part sugar. You'll
have them around all the time. Yeah, I was. I
was at in Costa Rica. There's like a hummingbird like
sanctuary where you just like walk in and they're just
like all around you. Yeah. It's wild. Yeah, but I
got freaked out about the idea of putting out a
hummingbird feeder because I've also seen hummingbird feeders where like

(12:10):
bees and ants start to hang out. Yeah, like you,
this is for the hummingbirds. Okay, I'm looking at a
diagram of of what, like you know, across section of
like what how the tongue wraps and it like goes
around its eyeball. It really does look like it's like

(12:30):
a tape measure that wraps around its eyeball. Yeah, it's
like justin putting the chats fruit by the foot, it's
it's wrapped around. I should read the chat justin it's
because dimes that he's dropping that I see after we're
done recording. Yeah, you go, I think something's wrong with that.

(12:51):
There's words showing up. Damn it. Not this again. Uh,
what is something you think is an overrated page? All right,
I'm gonna say ice cream. I think it's overrated. This
is it. Guys gonna be mad at me for saying
there for life, whoever you want with it. I just

(13:14):
feel like so like it's something like sixty five percent
of people are lactose intolerant. It's like, and yet there's
a new ice cream shop on every corner, and I'm like,
how many people are like carving out their their days
as a sacrifice. Yeah, it's like, can we just I
don't know. It's like I just think it's not worth it.

(13:37):
And I just think that people get so excited about
ice cream when it's it's like only like people can
eat it and not have diarrhea after Wow, everyone has diarrhea?
Who has? Who is lactose intolerant that eats it? Well,
there's different variations of how lactose intolerant you could be,

(13:59):
but like us also then there's also like different variations
of how much lactose is in different dairy products, and
like milk and ice cream is like the most. Yeah,
you just sniffing bass. Yeah, it's like you're getting sucked
up right right, We're not supposed to eat this, So
I I sometimes wonder if like the American diet, like

(14:20):
part of it is the direct like people getting diarrhea,
because like the stuff that we really uh like to
go after. You're right, it's that that should not be
a thing, like something that makes you ill. People are
just like, yeah, but I still do it because Yeah,
I wonder if that's able to like just sort of

(14:40):
proliferate because we're a culture famously that isn't going to
bring up our own like perceived deficiencies or inefficiencies. So
you don't like, yeah, did that did that pizza give
you a bunch of diarrhea? Like you don't want to
be that person, so you're like, oh, man, yeah, let's
get a notice slice. I love pizza, man, ice cream, cheeseburgers, pizza.

(15:03):
Pizza is fine because cheese doesn't have that much lactose
in it, which thank God for me, you know, but
it's like when you have too much of it, you know.
But yeah, exactly, No one wants to bring up you said,
day someone who had what's the really severe gluten allergy celiacs, Yeah,
and like lactose and tolerance, and she would eat pizza

(15:27):
all the time, and it was and it was like
that bit we were just doing where it was like
oh I love it though, but like it actively on
the toilet and it stakes planning. I feel like it's
the only things like that. No, But this wasn't like
this was a thing where eventually I was like, oh, no,

(15:49):
like you, this is you have some weird relationship with
you are like because it's like, oh, let's get this
hot and ready pizza and I'm like, great, we'll take
you to the house, like no, let's go to Providence
Hospital and you. But you know that's Another overrated thing
is lactad. I feel like, okay, it's very rare, and
of course it's happens to me. I've tried lactaid. It

(16:10):
makes me violently ill, Like yes, like I tru I
had it. I had started trying to use it when
I had like dairy stuff, and it was fine, like
a couple of times, and then one time I got
sick and I was like, oh I didn't I didn't
put it together. And then it happened again and I
started googling it. And it's like there's always message boards
online of angry mothers like I gave this to my

(16:32):
son so that he could have ice cream with us,
and he was very sick. And Lactaid doesn't put that
ship on their labels because I guess it's like maybe
rare enough that they don't feel like legally they have
to put it on there or something. But like I
was like, oh, of course, the one like the like
miracle thing that people take where they're like, actually I
can have whatever I want, like doesn't work for me.

(16:54):
I take a long hard look in the mirror. Figure
out why that's your karma? All right? For everyone right
there on the box, me and some some kids on
message boards, is there is there a treat that you
like that you think is worth the worth the burn? Well, so,

(17:14):
like I was saying, is like, if you have a
lot of cheese, you can have an issue. So sometimes
I'll like I'll be like, yeah, you know what, I
Am going to have a bunch of mac and cheese
right now, and I will just suffer the consequences, you
know that kind of thing. It sounds like you're more
of a savory person than a sweet person. Maybe No, honestly, no,
I mean I'll do I just my move is I

(17:34):
just I love froyo, which I never really have an
issue with. That's how. That's how. Yeah, yeah, that's that's
I mean, whenever I get sick from froyo, it's because
of the candy I put on it, not because not
because of the lactose enzymes or whatever. Because they don't
clean the nozzle from the machine. Well, and they're all

(17:55):
just like sitting there in like a mixed nuts bowl,
Like it's probably a clean is like the mixed nuts
at a bar. But we're just like, yeah, but this
place is bright and everything. Yeah, so that's probably fine.
I mean, what is a pinkberry even I don't even know.
I don't know. I like the idea they make those
little uh like heavy are fish egg type? Oh yeah,

(18:18):
those are bubble pearls, they little flavor pearls. Yeah, pink fairy.
I like the little like round chocolate crunch things and
I never have learned the name of them. And I
always just say to the person to um the chocolate
ball things and then they go the wet ones or
the dry ones. They don't have a because those the

(18:41):
ones pinkberry people know what I'm talking about, Those the
wet ones and dry ones. What is something you think
is underrated. All right, I was just staying on food
and we were talking pizza. I'm gonna say mushrooms as
a pizza topping, Okay, I'm fully with you there, thank you.

(19:01):
It's tough when they use canned mushrooms. Sure, yeah, you
know that's I think the times I'm like, no, you know,
like you want to the real you want fresh mushrooms,
not canned sometimes or like that's the time I found
myself being like, holy sh it, this is really good. Yeah.
I mean, I guess there's like bad other toppings too, though,

(19:22):
you know, I just feel like it's weird to me
that mushrooms. I feel like mushrooms aren't one of the
like toppings we act like if a group was getting pizza,
no one would like feel like like, no one would
suggest it as like a sort of base level topping.
It's like, I feel like Hawaiian pizza has like more
cred than mushroom peoples. I don't do that. Don't do
that around me. Don't do that. I don't like that.

(19:43):
I don't like it. But I'm just letting anyone know
if you have a para social relationship with me, no
that don't do that around me. Okay, pizza parties in
our minds, I'm not having that. Yeah, I just think
I don't know, mushrooms are my favorite, my favorite pizza
topping because it's not like I think it's weird because
we almost in my mind as a kid, I always
thought of mushrooms as a thing that was on the

(20:04):
parents pizza. Yeah, they got the mushrooms. We got straight
cheat Pepperonian ship. But I wonder. I think it's like
we have to mature to this point where it has
to be considered a normal first item to throw out
what do you want to put on this thing? And
you can say mushroom and we know and we don't
say what it's vegetarian, Like come on, yeh huh. I'm

(20:29):
just not that. I'm a long hard look in the
mirror on that one. Do you are you a mushroom
pizza person? Miles. I like mushrooms on pizza, Like if
I'm at a nice spot and like they have like
a thing with like Porcini mushroom, you know, like fresh
mushrooms and ship. I like that. Yeah, I think because
my earliest memories go back to canned mushrooms. That just

(20:50):
contributed to like soggy pizza that I just did not.
I was like, this is fucking weird, y'all. Like, I
don't know why you're eating this ship then if you
want the dry ones, are the wet ones the way
I mean. Yeah, Mushrooms are the one thing that I
will always have on every pizza that I order, if

(21:12):
it's for myself and nobody else, Like mushrooms and green peppers,
mushrooms and pepperoni mushrooms like it can be any of those,
but mushrooms have to be there. I agree. I agree,
although I'm not into like the like you know, like Costco,
you get the like sort of everything pizza. I go,
we don't need all this. The mushrooms are doing enough

(21:32):
work here that we don't need the peppers and the olives.
We can have them, but I feel like they're hiding
the mushroom. They're trying to trick us. This sounds like
a Mitch Hedberg bit, right, I don't need all these
mushrooms are doing enough work. You've got a lot of
ship on your pizza, you know, pizza accessories. I'll own

(21:58):
up to being a bad father. Uh dominoes almost every
weekend and my kid's order is pepperoni and pineapple, and
I get like green peppers onions, bacon, sausage, mushrooms. And
they threw fucking pineapple on my pizza the other day,

(22:22):
like it like like there was crossfire or something and
they accidentally hit the pineapple on my showt I was like, what,
Like you can't tough. Yeah, pineapple is a very specific topic,
Like you can't just assume people want that you're throwing
handy on a fucking pizza. It's so sweet. It's not
like you're I mean, look if you're somewhere and you're like, hey,

(22:44):
actually we use like sort of like less than ripe
pineapple so you can get a nice texture. But all
this sweet because ione using canned pineapple just sitting in sugar.
So I'm like, this is not it for me at all.
I'm real picky about the sweet on top of the
savory ship to work, well, it would seep into the cheese.
I feel because they're so because they're like can they're

(23:05):
in that liquid to have them on top of your pizza.
It's also it's very sad to have to pick a
topping off pizza. You feel very sad. Yeah, I feel
not just took it down and it was actually fine.
But it's still like the idea that you would add pineapple,
like it's just another topping. Is you got to be

(23:26):
sure that someone wants it. Yes, And look for those
of you who like pineapple on your on your pizza, fine,
go ahead, just don't don't force your pineapple on the Okay,
you want candy pizza. That's how I feel. And that's
not shade to too for me. I just want a
candy okay, and you do, That's okay. Yeah, but this
is now very diplomatic. Just gotta let him know because

(23:49):
this is this is such a weird thing, like you
see like the memes around pineapple on pizza culture, you
know what I mean. Like it's a very it's like
a real thing that I think we're we talk about
through memes and ship about like whether or not you
have pineapple your pizza and ship like that. But I'd
just like to like to let it know. I'm not
a hater the tough to bring up for overrated and

(24:13):
underrated food stuff because obviously it's like maybe some people
just don't like mushrooms, but I do feel like a
lot of people have a negative idea of mushrooms because
of like mushroom soup or like canned mushrooms, which are gross.
But like there's a ton of different types of mushrooms
and often the mushrooms on pizza are delicious and and

(24:34):
some of them are literally magical. Okay, yeah, yeah, the pineapple. Actually,
now I'm gonna go back on what I said and
say that, like I I didn't pick the pineapple off.
I ate it and it was actually fine, And I
think that pineapple blends well with better than you would
expect with tomatoes. Why are you wearing that dull hat?

(24:57):
I'm just saying, like it's an underrated like it could
be a staple food, Like a lot of people think,
like you can like have bread sandwiches, but you can't
have pineapple sandwiches, But like you can use pineapple for anything. Really,
I mean, I wish you'd look into this as an
energy source. I think the people at United Fruit we're
really misunderstood. And yes, you the only king of Hawaii

(25:25):
and the modern like while Hawaii was a state or
maybe for a president, the only president of Hawaii ever
was a dull. I just read that somewhere. I was like, oh,
my god, what an awful family. Anyways, Yeah, am I right,
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

(25:48):
right back and we're bad and uh, let's do a
quick you hate to see it, rundown. Trump support might
be slipping a little bit, just a tiny bit, people

(26:11):
forgetting who he is. Yeah, I mean, turns out it
says right now, this recent poll is showing that forty
percent of Republicans saying that they support they're saying President
over party. They're like, fun, I'm Trump all day. That's
of Republicans that comparison right now of the party right
now is saying no, no, we funk with the party

(26:31):
more than the president, which is the first time since
July of ten when party support outnumber Trump support. So,
you know, the interesting, interesting shift, I don't think. I
don't know if it's that groundbreaking more so than I
think it's just sort of this idea of out of sight,
out of mind that because he's just not on Twitter
being able to fire off ship takes, and you know,

(26:53):
Fox and a lot of the networks are sort of
like trying to figure out what to do with him
because now he's just literally just some fucking guy and
he's not the president anymore. Uh, it's less I think
maybe ratings worthy to let him rant for forty minutes straight. Yeah,
the whole It reminds me of the like how cult
leaders want to get you into a isolated location because

(27:16):
they know, like just fully occupying like all your time
and energy and attention, like that's the only way to
do it. And once that spell is broken, like once
if you're just in a in an urban area and
like see people walking by on the street, like that's
enough to break the spell. I feel like we're kind
of going through a similar thing as a nation, where
it's just like, wait, what the funk was we were

(27:40):
we were doing what we were paying how much attention
to this motherfucker? Yeah? Yeah that the his banning of
Twitter from Twitter has been like such a such a
sea change for like so many people. I feel like, yeah, yeah,
he just he has got his email list now is
how he's communicating with people, or he's emailing people his tweets,

(28:01):
his thoughts being like you're gonna you better give me
money or think you've abandoned me, like holy shit, raising money?
Yeah man. Well yeah, it's like it's like in theory,
this feels like good ish news, but I don't know

(28:22):
how true it is or what it really means. You know,
I'm sure he'll read this, and then the second it
comes down to him wanting to assume his kingmaker role
again within the party, he's gonna start getting real loud
and what. I don't know what will say. I think
at the very least it does show though, like because
now the support for like, you know, Biden's handling of

(28:43):
the pandemic essentially based on the numbers, would also include
Republicans that there are some people who are like I
think the people being like, well, what about the party
because this guy whatever? We like when we were secret racists, um,
which might be what's happening. Yeah, secret racist. It was
Wild Comedy Bang Bang, which I don't know how many

(29:06):
of our listeners listen to that show, but it's a
comedy podcast where like people come on and play characters,
and this week they had somebody on who was doing
a Trump impression and it was like, what's that James
Austin Johnson. It might have been taman it was. It
wasn't a Tamanick, I don't think, but I think it

(29:29):
was James. It was really funny and it like didn't
I don't know, it seemed like, wow that this feels
like we're like years away from when when like it
would have been too soon or something. It just felt
like he was just approximating all of the sort of
vocalizations and like stupid like leaps of logic and ship.

(29:54):
But it wasn't. I don't know. It was just weird
to me that like they were able to have somebody
on and do that and it wasn't like I mean,
I'm sure there's probably reasons that we shouldn't already be
like that's hilarious, but uh yeah, the performance was just
so good that it didn't bother me. James, I haven't

(30:17):
heard him on comedy Bang Bang, but I mean his
whole thing, and it really like started getting steam like
in the last year or so. Is he does these
videos where he's doing an impression of Trump, but he'll
be talking about like Pokemon or like something totally not
nothing to do with anything that Trump actually talks about,
but he'll so match the way that Trump thinks that

(30:38):
you can't you can't look away. He does this one
where it was that it was like he did a
video that was my favorite where it was based on
like that one interview where Trump like got up and
walked away, and it's just it's just James talking about
Gilmore Girls and he's like because Jess is a pre

(30:59):
Loop and uh Logan is a pre Chris, Like, it's
James Awesome, he's a friend of mine. Yeah, yeah, that's
who it was, James Austin Johnson. Yeah. Also Langston Kerman
was on their Wonderful It was a great episode. Uh,
and that's what we're here to do is get people
interested in comedy. Bang bag, But yeah, that is that

(31:21):
is so I've seen those videos and that is like
he totally nails all of the non political Like it's
just he has like that uh complete lack of logic
that like like it's just constantly claiming that he's good
friends with like yeah, exactly. It's he has mastered the jet.

(31:41):
It's truly like how Trump would be. You just put
a topic and it's just going to use the same
garbled logic to try and like figure out how you're
going to be like the authority on this topic. Yeah,
that's right, that's right. Anyways, fun that guy Donald Trump
in particularly fucking James too, man, come on, you're doing

(32:04):
it too good man. You're keeping him alive with that ship.
James has some other impressions as well. He does Mike
Lindell to my pillow, guys, let's talk Tucker. H Tucker Carlson. Yeah,
what's he? What's he reaching for these days? I mean,

(32:25):
just again, there's so many real things to talk about,
but right now Republicans have to find anything but the
actual things to talk about. So right now because our
President Joey Badass is out here saying like we're relaxing
the mask uh fucking protocols. You don't have to wear
it if you're vaxed in outdoors unless you're in a

(32:46):
crowd and all this stuff, because that's been a huge
thing and being like, where are we at with masks outdoors?
What are you saying to do? What are you saying
not to do? So Tucker Carlson spent so much time
about this idea of masks as a few different First
he was likening it to child abuse, where he is like,
as for forcing children to wear masks outside, that should

(33:07):
be illegal. Because he's going on this whole thing about
how it's like part of your mental obedience to like
the party. So it's like wearing a Kim jong un
pin or something in North Korea. That's what you do
to wear your mask to show fealty, to demonstrate fialty.
And so he's just talking about like if you see
someone like a child wearing a mask, like it should
be no different than what your response would be if

(33:28):
you see someone beating a child in a walmart called
the police. Is what he says, How is it hurting
the child? Does he have? Uh? Well, you know, well,
what you're looking at his abuse, it's child This is
quote what you're looking at his abuse. It's child abuse,
and you're morally obligated to attempt to prevent it. If
it's your own children being abused, then act accordingly, which

(33:49):
I will play you this clip because he starts talking
about like what to do if again, if it let's
say it was your kid and you were morally obligated
to attempt to prevent it. If it's your own children
being abused, than act accordingly. Let's say your kids school
emailed you to announce that every day after lunch, your
sixth grader was going to get punched in the face

(34:09):
by a teacher. How would you respond to that that's
precisely how you should respond when they tell you that
your kids have to wear masks on the side that
is unacceptable, dangerous, and we should act like it because
is it dangerous? Because he says like there's zealots, only
zealots wear masks. Then he had this other thing. He's
like sixty of white liberals have been diagnosed with some

(34:30):
kind of mental health issue, and so that's they tell them. Neurotics, Yeah,
neurotics wear them. It's like this whole it's just so
all over the place. It's truly, you're like, I don't
even know, like that's a jump right to say they're
punching your kid in the face every every time. Every
time Tucker Collinson speaks, it's like when somebody like you know,

(34:52):
in in like your class in high school, when you
were like assigned what side you have to be on
for a topic, and it's just like he like didn't
do the work. He's just like really trying to like
hustle on this side that doesn't make any sense, and
he just is like saying insane ship Like he was
talking earlier. I watched the clip that you guys had
in this in this dog about like he's like, if
you see someone wearing a mask, stop them and say,

(35:15):
please take off your mask. You're making me uncomfortable. So
does your magga hat? Ye? Your piece? And I believe
in science, all right, It's like it's like, yeah, you're
making me uncomfortable as well. What again, it's just all

(35:36):
this weird way to try and he's trying to create
more outrage among the base, to be more confrontational in public.
Like it's so transparently clear that this is meant to
whip them into a friend. Just get everybody so excited
about this idea of masks that all he can do
is be like, they're punching your kids in the face. There, sellads,

(35:57):
what's going on? You better tell him to not wear
a man as like, it's the outrage is really it's
wearing thin And you know what's wild. It got fucking
weirder in the episode in terms of what he's likening
to mask wearing. He had look, I'm just he had
a guest on I don't know it was actually was

(36:19):
actually sucking Matt Walsh and they were talking about Matt
Wash and he's the four he's out here, but again
talking about what it means to be a man wearing
a mask. Oh you know, I had the same experience
you're talking about. I was in Austin a few days ago,
and I'm walking outside without a mask on, and people
are staring at me like I am the crazy one

(36:40):
for not having a mask on. Meanwhile, if you're if
you're walking outside with a mask on, I should be
looking at you. And I do look at you, like
like I would look at a grown man hugging a
Teddy Bear and having a pacifier in his mouth while
he's walking down the street. This is your security blanket.
There's no reason for you to have it on. You're
just afraid, You're you're afraid of fresh air. That's what's hap.
People are afraid to breathe air, and we're making it

(37:03):
so that kids are afraid of air too, And that's
insane to me. I agree with you completely. I would.
I would even actually up the analogy and say, vaccinated
person with anybody's wearing a mask outside is is like
watching grow man expose himself in public. That's disgusting. Put
it away, please, Okay, what the fuck are you talking?
What does that even mean? What? I don't again, this

(37:25):
this is like the same thing is like this has
nothing to do with you. This hasn't actually nothing to
do with you. If you want to be the freaky
piece of ship who alienates themselves because they don't want
to wear a mask to consider others, than so be it.
But someone else wearing it has a fuck all to
do with these people. But like that's why it's so
bizarre that like talkers like, yeah, I mean you're basically

(37:45):
like you're you're gay if you wear a mask. Dude,
like you're what are you gonna be like a fucking
little boy with a baby fucking like what are you
gonna do? And take take your penis out? But he's
like his sense of the world is so like just
dominated by misogyn and white supremacy, like because because guys

(38:05):
running around exposing themselves as a crime that is like
only perpetuated by like middle aged white guys like him.
He is like he's like that that I feel like
he can't think of that as being a like that
bad a thing. So he's like, I mean, it's the
same thing basically because I personally think it's weird. That's

(38:27):
anything I think is weird is the same across the
same as uh, sexual assault. Basically, it's like hanging brain
in public. That's why were people looking at you? Or
were you like mad dogging people who were wearing masks
and then they look back at you like, why are
you looking at me? Ye? Gives a shit about you?

(38:48):
So thirsty to be able to turn your fucking cell
phone on and record your stupid rhetorical martyrdom video where
you're like and I actually I'm wearing it because I
believe in science. Actually all are you all in here
who are afraid of air? No one said. I don't
want to say I am afraid of air though, just
to be clear, and I am a neurotic and I

(39:09):
am neuroticrotic. Dad about it, you know what I mean?
Sometimes I do give myself the crips. Yeah, just continuing
the ly Okay. Sometimes I like to kiss Fouchi the
only safe person to kiss. By the way, Tony, he's
like Tony Fauci. It's like you don't know him. Yeah,

(39:32):
him to like when he talks it talks about his
friend Antonio Bandari says Tony flags were close. So alright,
let's talk about Marco Rubio the other We might as
well just get through all of the ship happening in

(39:52):
the soul mental and the tortured soul of the Republicans
right now. So Marco Rubio is piste at corporations. Mm hmm.
And to the point that he's like basically threatening to
become a socialist. Is that basically where we're based, Rubio, dude,

(40:13):
Comrade Rubio, hold it down, fucking throw down the gauntlet
for these corporations. Please visa be your op ed that
you wrote. He's got this whole thing in the New
York Post where all my favorite op eds are. Yeah, exactly.
That's when you know it's some real next level of
analysis coming through from a racist. And they can't believe,

(40:34):
like his whole thing is like these corporate monsters we
fed for so long, why are they going to pivot
to like woke stuff and do things like acting their
own self interest? Because they're reading the tone of society.
What's happening. So this is what he says. He runs
this op ed in the beginning. This is just like
sort of in the middle, he said, quote to help

(40:54):
our corporations fulfill their patriotic role. The GOP especially enacted
business friendly policies. We have tax rates low slashed red
tape were appropriate and limited the reach of labor unions.
But wow, but somewhere along the line, corporations began prioritizing
short term financial windfalls and ruthless offshoring. Yeah, wow, you

(41:17):
did all that. You'd have been limiting the ability of
labor to organize. Co on, sir, He says, quote, Corporate
America began to view these good jobs, families, communities, and
even the nation as an afterthought. American workers of all
backgrounds suffered as a result. Corporate greed annihilated an entire
way of life. Oh so you were aware of all that,
and you're still doing this ship like as it's all

(41:40):
like the quip pro quote that he uh outlines here
is way too honest. He's like, now, we were helping
all out so you would keep us in power, and
you were annihilating the American families, and we were fucking
cool with that, And now you're gonna now you're gonna
be on fucking maging Marco's side like it's so dumb

(42:05):
because it's all just about the fact that they don't
that anyway, Let's keep going, because he's like, because I'll
do something about it. Yeah, this is what he's gonna do. Quote.
Cut in corporate taxes and especially investment taxes makes sense
if US companies are going to invest in American industry.
But if they're instead prioritizing offshoring operations or simply returning

(42:25):
windfalls to shareholders, then policymakers are going to start being
more careful. And how we structure tax cuts? Oh what
I'm gonna tell the fucking truth. If you don't start
backing us in these fucking political better defend to factor
white supremacy. Fox. So then he goes on. So first

(42:46):
he's saying, I'll get rid of your tax cuts. Next,
employer friendly labor laws makes sense in a world where
corporate CEOs feel an obligation to their fellow countrymen and workers.
But the logic of resisting labor representation on behalf of
corporate management falls apart if an American worker is no
different to the corporation than any other input. Wow, yeah, man,

(43:07):
you will cut these tax breaks and make it easier
for labor to get organized. Thank you, Marco. What what
does he start talking about the wokeness? Like, is that
the beginning of the article or where where does this come?
From I mean this is yeah, in the beginning, he
just sort of talking about all the things that's happening
with Georgia and like company is just starting to like

(43:30):
speak up about societal issues, and it's just it's and
I think this is the problem they're finding themselves in.
They're so confused and they don't realize the absurdity of
their ideology, which is so it's so regressive that you're
not going to go anywhere except backwards and eventually hit
a wall because you're you're burning up any chance you

(43:52):
have of any kind of forward movement. So, yeah, you're
someone like Marco Rubio, You're like you have to you
have to be against all the is wokeness from these companies.
But since you've been on the side of corporate profiteering,
your only pivot can only lead to progressive policy, Like
that's the only thing. And so you know what, congratulationships. Wow, Wow,

(44:19):
I have a headache from this essay by by Marcot.
Like they don't, I don't know. It's yeah, blunt to
them for being like blunt to the companies, like we'll
get rid of your tax breaks and we'll let people
get you want you want organized labor. It's like, yeah,
that people do. Actually, it shows that people have better
outcomes when they're and when they're unionized in every industry.

(44:41):
But then's the stuff he is like saying, if you
do this, that's stuff they've already been doing for twenty
years that you're talking about, like offshoring all your profits
and treating the workers like ship like what the only
like it has nothing to do with whatever fucking wokeness
he's objecting too. So he's just basically describing like the

(45:05):
state of the American worker and I'm like corporate America
and then being like and that's well, well I'll describe
it out loud again if you keep keep criticizing us. Yeah,
even the companies like yo, shut up, dude, Like I mean, like,
we get what you're saying, but like, do you hear?
Do you hear? So I feel like this start does

(45:26):
an email a private email, And he's like, you know what,
this makes a lot of sense. I'm gonna turn it
into an op ed because the ship he's saying, like
that logic works in an email where it's like between
donors and politicians who are like, look, we let you
fuck people over and in return, you do the you

(45:47):
fun people over in the specific way we're describing. But yeah,
that's that's wild man. Yeah there, you love to see it.
This has been another segment of you Hate to See
It where we check in with the Republicans, with the
based Republicans. Yeah, alright, let's take another quick break and

(46:09):
we'll be right back. And we're back. And uh, speaking
of back, it's almost back to work time, folks. Time
to get the lunch pail and uh, get back to

(46:32):
the get back to the office. Hardy work or hardly
working those seis videos. So a lot of like corporate
America is, you know, very carefully planning the return to
the office. And yeah, I just wanna so, Miles, you

(46:55):
kind of linked off to this article. That makes sense.
I want to read from this NBC article though, because
they are describing like the thoughts among business leaders. They
said they set it up at like with all the
information that is true. They say, even within the same industries,
there will be different approaches to return to work plans,

(47:16):
which also gives employees more opportunities to find a job
that fits their preferred lifestyle. The majority, or fifty eight
percent of employees said they would look for a new
position if they weren't allowed to continue working remotely in
their current position. We've also talked about how people get
more work done when they're working from home. And then
the second last paragraph of this article, ultimately, however, quote

(47:39):
nothing will change, said Peter Capelli, director of the Center
of Human Resources at the University of Pennsylvania is Wharton School.
Employers have virtually unlimited power. Um. And He's basically like,
this time next year, it'll be just just like pre
pandemic and done. Oh is that what you think, Mr? Hr? Mr,

(48:02):
I'm the cops company, HR, the cops of cops. Yeah,
oh you oh Hr. I'm here to fuck you up
if you try and make it spicy for the employer,
But I will smile and act like I'm advocating for you.
High have you been. I'm welcome to human resources. A
year This is the exact quote that is the last
sentence of the article. A year from now, Well, things

(48:22):
look much different than they did before the pandemic. I
don't think so. Again A quote from Peter Capelli, director
of Center Center for Human Resources. Wow, well, maybe I'm interesting.
Maybe you should ask what's happening with workers? But they're thinking,
because you're looking up the c suites butt and you're like,
what's going on here? And I'm great, back to work perfect.

(48:44):
There's this thing called the Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes,
like this research working paper that's that's out, and that
they're looking at all kinds of data points and just
analysis and questioning that they've done over the last year.
And essentially like there's a whole thing is boiling down
to them saying people whose jobs are like don't explicitly

(49:04):
require their presence physically really want to continue to work
at home at least some of the time, and most people,
most over would take a pay cut to do so,
which is wild, Like that's the tone of a lot
of people. I think that the sort of that the
slight sense of freedom or being unburdened by the commute

(49:26):
has done for people being like, oh yeah, funk that, Like,
especially now in a world where efficiency has been proven,
it's hard to go back on that. So the other
thing is they say that um uh right now. A
lot of the employers want people to like they're willing
to compromise and say like, okay, maybe you come in
three times a week and then you take the other two,

(49:47):
or you get one day a week or whatever you
can work from home. Um, but what they're looking at
isn't that it's going to be virtually back to normal.
They think it's going the the The amount of work
done remotely will be about twenty of what is happening
right now, which is going to be a huge, huge
boost considering that pre pandemic remote work was like five

(50:09):
and a lot of that has to do with the
fact that like every white collar job simultaneously went remote,
so it didn't create like everyone just realized, oh yeah,
she's still working. And then this idea that working from
home is like some kind of sucking eighties comedy film
where a guy like when he figured out the sweet
deal to work from home, like Randy had the summer

(50:30):
of his life, like no fucking working, Oh man, Randy.
I mean there's literally a Folders commercial. I think, where
uh where the Like the guy's camera like drops down
and you see that he's only wearing Undy's with his suit.
Um so and I get all my cultural takes from

(50:52):
Folders commercials. Um. Yeah. On top of that, it's gonna
affect like downtown areas to the other thing they're predicting
is consumer spending could fall by in Manhattan and four
points six percent in San Francisco because a lot of
especially in those cities, those companies, some places been like,

(51:12):
you know, we just sold all of our office space
because we realize we can save money not paying for
a fucking physical building anymore or at least as less
of a footprint and have you know, the same output,
the same fund. But I mean those places will move
to where the people are, like they'll eventually change so

(51:32):
that you know, they're serving salads that our take out
instead of like sal salads that you have to like
line up at the salad bar to order. So like,
I don't I feel like this is more of a
problem for like the landlords and the property owners of
Lower Manhattan who all have a harder time like feeling

(51:52):
a lot of sympathy for It's not gonna like the
wage workers will still be able to like find jobs,
They'll just be over in brook Glynn where people live
instead of the financial district or you know, yeah, I
think that's gonna be a huge shift, or like people
even think of like what are downtown is gonna look
like if we are working more remotely. Yeah, yeah, regardless

(52:15):
of seems just absolutely bizarre to say that things will
just be the same as before, says says violent Capitalist teacher,
your Capelli at least a little bit different. But no,
right back to normal, Right back to normal. Don't worry

(52:35):
because I mean, all he's doing like somebody who works
at Wharton, Like they're only talking to like the Wharton
grads who fucking like run the companies and and probably
not even the ones, because like just from a business perspective,
but like the shareholder level and the like CEO level,
like it doesn't make sense to like continue to pay

(52:56):
rent on something like maybe in the short term because
you're like locked into a a lease, but like in
the long run, you're paying rent on real estate that
you're like making people come in. They don't want to
be there, so you're having to either pay them more
to keep them away from like other employers, and you're

(53:18):
also getting less work from them because people are more
efficient when working from home according to like a number
of surveys. So yeah, they're probably just worried about they're like, well,
what where am I now on Friday? Is gonna like
start offering people alcohol? Like it's fun to be here,
and they're like Friday company culture, tumon guys, you all
like me, right, you know, And they're probably because I

(53:40):
can't sexually harass my wife at home, like the funk
out of here like that, Like, what do you want
to back to the office for? I would be I
would if you're a shareholder, be like, yo, look, I'm
looking at the fucking you know the statements here. If
you kicked Rent in its ass and just nicked this
ship right out, you'd have Then that's like the kind

(54:01):
of ship that the CEOs pat themselves on the back
for and then cut themselves a bonus because normal just like,
oh yeah, we cut down people's four oh one K contributions,
fucking suckers. Yeah, so we could buy a bunch of
Razor scooters for the office. Say they like being at work.
We got one orange couch, which makes it a fun workplace. Yeah.
We actually let people if they don't want to, they

(54:21):
don't have to sit at their desks. They can sit
on an uncomfortable bean bag chair. Yeah exactly that. You
can just compress your disks and you'll get herniated disk.
But also just you know, there's a stipulation in your
insurance that we don't cover any backers. Okay. Also, a
huge portion of us abusing our employees is that we
say that we're like a family here, and so it's

(54:44):
gonna be tough to claim we're like a family if
we never see each other. I mean, most people come
from families like the kind of they're like, yeah, my
dad did lie to me. Okay, Okay, anyways, Peter Capelli,
let's let's keep up with him. I told myself I
was going to keep up with the libertarians who were like,

(55:06):
this COVID thing is no big deal, and I never did.
And this is probably another person who I'm just gonna
forget had this terrible take. But um, they're all just
trying to figure out what to do right now. Anyway, right, yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna move to Bolivia. Let's talk about Bezos v Elon.

(55:28):
Oh my god, the fact that I'm so upset, Like
I've talked about my disgust with America's like crush on
Elon Musk for a long time, and now like he's
because he has like managed to make himself the like

(55:50):
opponent of Jeff Bezos, who is like very not cool
people are like, Elon Musk is actually kind of cool,
to the point that he's now going to be hosting
SNL and he's getting off tasty one liners like Bezos
can't get it up. I'm talking, of course about his rockets.
But oh boy, yeah, I don't know. I feel bad

(56:12):
for all that SNL staff. They're like, uh, why is
this dude coming on? They're like, we don't anyway, because yeah,
he's he's the he's the sickest baller, Tony Stark, the
realist thing. We've got to that. But the two billionaires
in various states of baldness denial are now arguing about
going to the moon because Ellen, because so SpaceX got

(56:35):
this sweet, sweet NASA contract for almost three billy to
create the next lunar lander and Bezos and he's Blue
Origin Company also has something to say about that, along
with other companies like Northrop Grumman, uh just fantastic machine
makers and lockeed Martin. They're all crying right now about this.

(56:57):
But this is from Blue Origin Bezos Company saying, quote,
NASA has executed a flat acquisition for the Human Landing
System program and move the goalposts at the last minute
and NASA's own words, it has made a quote high
risk selection. Their decision eliminates opportunities for competition ha ha ha,
significantly narrows the supply base and not only delayers but

(57:20):
also in dangerous America's return to the Moon. I mean,
I'll agree that, Yeah, those SpaceX rock has been blowing
up a lot more than maybe people would like, to
the point that the FAA how to get involved because
they're like, uh, We're not gonna have you like explode
shit above like where people live and put people at
risk here. So I don't know, uh, like some civilians

(57:42):
who are currently training to go is that a SpaceX
rocket who are like they're gonna send some civilians into
space for the first time since the Challenger, which was
not if if memory serves, was not a huge success,
Like that feels, I don't know. I don't feel great
about SpaceX being in charge of that, especially since over

(58:05):
the weekend they kind of got swept under the rug.
But like they almost crashed into a UFO, like a
thing that nobody has identified yet was flying through the
air and they had to like, as these astronauts were
ascending into space, they had to like do an emergency
that it was too late to do an evasive maneuver,

(58:27):
so they had to like put all the astronauts had
to like inflate or do something to their anti like
crash suits basically. But then they one side of the
ship's very extreme version of that sucker came out of nowhere.
It really did. We don't know what it was. I
was watching, right, Yeah, I don't know. That's a very

(58:51):
freaky also, like, yeah, that would be how we kick
off some fucking space warder killed their like fun leader
and ship. They're like, oh, it's it's on now, motherfucker's
And it's just one of these drones that we that
have technology we just don't know about yet, right, But
it's it's also like really something because Elon Musk, when

(59:15):
like they asked about, you know, these rockets, they're like,
you know, they're explosions, don't seem like successes, but yet
you congratulate the teams and things like that, and yes,
a ton of engineering goes into it. So to a
certain extent, yes, it is. I want to root for
these things. I don't want to have to fucking cheer
for Elon Musk. And there's so many like smart creative
geniuses working on this. I want to root for them,

(59:36):
but like, I don't want Elon Musk to be the
mouthpiece of all those people. Yeah, how about the people
who work on it. But the other thing is that
he'll say, but he would say, well, respond to ship
like that to be like, it's meant to explode quite frankly.
This is a quote he said, like something like, quite frankly,
something would be wrong if it didn't. Oh, okay, okay,

(59:56):
I'll get that. That's the sort of logic you want
in charge of a bunch of sevi aliens. You're flying
into space as somebody who's like, no, actually I meant
to do that, and it was actually kind of sick,
Like you have to admit it looked cool. So and
also admits ship after his after his rocket has a

(01:00:16):
near miss with Ufobi, I'm like, dude, if there were aliens,
I'd know about it. That was That was his response
to somebody being like, why do UFOs out there? What
are your thoughts? If they were aliens, dude, your boy
Elon would know. I'd be the first one they'd talked to,
because I fucking rule. Yeah, you rule so much. What
happened to fucking hyper loop, you dick, Yeah, what about

(01:00:39):
all that fucking that tunnel. It's just a fucking You're
gonna get to fucking San Francisco in three seconds and
nothing bullshit, all the all the fun. There's so many
Tesla recalls. There's a lot of ship that he has
to deal with all the time. But I get it
when you just sort of distill your whole personality to
being like on Twitter, smoking blunts, making rap music and
saying like, you know, fucking doge coin moon like cool,

(01:01:01):
but there's other ship up. Did somebody die over the
weekend in an autopilot accident? I I read something about
somebody like they discovered that there was no one at
the wheel of the car, which I'm it's like, yeah,
that's what I think those are supposed to be used.
But I think that's the uh sort of hubris that

(01:01:22):
will be instilled by being elon Musk stands like, Yo, dude,
I trust this ship hop in the back. We'll just
treat this robot like our designated driver. And now the
outcome isn't optimal, um, but I I'm really I can't
wait for ten years from now when people no longer

(01:01:45):
give a fun enough and are willing to tell the
true story behind Elon Musk's weak as the host of SNL,
like the like the stories when Steven Seagal hosted SNL
and people are like, he was at those stories if
you ever read those, Uh they are in I'm sure

(01:02:07):
they're like somewhere online, but they were in that world
history of SNL and who Yeah, all right, what one
last thing. I just wanted to check in with Warner Brothers.
I just want to give big ups to Warner Brothers. Uh.
Now this to my bros at Warner so Scott Mendelssohn, Uh,

(01:02:29):
one of my favorite people who writes about the film
industry is pointing out that the only thing that is
really keeping hopes alive that people might return to theaters
are those like HBO, Max Warner Brothers drops. Uh that
everybody was worried we're gonna like destroy theater going And
I don't think, like I think they did this out
of pure greed, but I think it's just another example

(01:02:52):
of how like nobody knows ship in Hollywood, and it's
always like the accidental stuff that makes changes to the industry,
and like basically nobody was going to be the first
to move on releasing blockbusters because it's just too big
of a gamble. But like this gave them insurance to
like release Congress, Godzilla and Mortal Kombat, and those movies

(01:03:14):
are like doing solid well. Congress Godzilla was like a
big hit at the box office. Mortal Kombat was like solid.
It made twenty two million domestic over the weekend. So
it seems like this is sort of the stepping stone
they needed to like get from everything closed to Okay,
we'll start releasing blockbusters. And Warner Brothers now is responsible

(01:03:38):
for almost fifty percent of the box office so far
this year, like with Tenants, and they re released Elf,
which was smart. Uh, And they're like, yeah, there's some
people want to go to the movie theaters, and I
think I do. Yeah, I can't wait, just I just
just I just need that, you know, Hey, I'll be
there two weeks after I'm vaccinated. Yeah, and two weeks

(01:04:00):
after you're vaccinated, I think is right around the time
that F nine comes out, So oh great. I would
love to fall asleep off of edibles in another that's
my problem. Yeah, I get too high for I literally
the and I've talked about before I'll get too high
in anticipation of a fast and furious movie and I've ruined.

(01:04:21):
I'm actually the movie a view of the film's I mean,
that's the thing is. It's just like I feel like, also,
I haven't done a ton of the like renting movies
at home, you know, for twenty dollars or whatever, because
I don't know, I like to watch movies by myself.
Like I love going to the theater alone. And I

(01:04:44):
don't know why, but it feels fine to spend twenty
dollars to like actually go somewhere, but sitting on my
couch by myself for twenty dollars feels sad. Yeah, So
for sure. The only what did I the only thing
I actually paid money to rent was the new Craft,
like the sequel to the Craft that came out, because

(01:05:06):
I funk with the original Craft so heavy so her
magine and I was like, yeah, this came let's watch
this ship. Yeah, And that was like the only time
I've put money down. Otherwise it was like passively through
whatever HBO Max was giving us for free. The drop
Pico Fornari and that was it. Manari was well, Manari

(01:05:26):
is great. Um, did you see the interview with the
winner the Best Supporting Actress who yeah, everyone was like yo,
like asking her about Brad Pitt, and then like back
in Korea they were interviewing her and she was like
the wine her eyes, yeah, drinking wine, being like yeah,
and then kept asking me about Brad Pitt. Full I
was just like like apparently her speech when she was like, Oh,

(01:05:50):
it's really nice to finally meet you rad Pitt was
like she was shading Brad Pitt because he was a
producer on Manari and he like never showed up on
the set. And apparently right after they stepped off stage,
she was like, you know, you need to fund your
movies better, Like you didn't do a good enough job
funding this movie, like it was there were problems that

(01:06:12):
and is that where this story came out where she
was like subsidizing like her own travel at a certain point, yeah,
ship and so she was like everyone was like, oh
my god, what did he smell like? You must be
like did not smell like money, smell like the samples
of perfumes, like he didn't even buy the ships? Smelled

(01:06:33):
like horse? Motherfucker? Did you see he had a ponytail
on that he pulled off halfway through, like as he
was talking like he was, he was like to the
side of the stage and pulled it off. Why not,
you know, because he's got to let people know he's
here to shake his hair out, like those reveals in
the eighties film where like the nerd who has had
their hair up is like, no, no, no, it was

(01:06:55):
a fake ponytail that he pulled off his head. I
swear to Odd, Wait what Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's
oh okay, because I was gonna say if it was real,
and then he pulled out the hair TI. I mean,
he's gonna have that crease and you don't want to
see that, you know he pulled Oh okay, See is
that he had a tiny ponytail. Yeah, well, now you're

(01:07:19):
saying I thought he pulled off a fake ponytail. He
might have just that, bet I misread the headline. You'll
have to forgive me. I like this version where he
was like like he's so embarrassed because his hair style
was like, no, Brad rocked a little fake pony It's
gonna look really cool. And then he bails on it

(01:07:41):
on stage like fucking fake. No, it was real. I'm
an idiot. Anyways, Hey, that's what people tune in for. Page.

the power of the Fashion Square Mall in Los Angeles
and how it was the fucking center of my universe. Center.
And I'm not gonna lie Page I've never I've had
I'm trying to think of the last time I was

(01:08:45):
so energized by a topic talk about. Um so yes,
and if you like, everybody funks with them all. That's
the thing is, It's like I think people maybe think
it's like a podcast about like shopping and about like
that kind of stuff, but really it's like we have
a guest on every week, and it kind it just
becomes like an interview about where they're from and how
they grew up because of their relationship to in relationships,

(01:09:06):
just like stories at the mall or not going to
the mall, like you know, some people are like, actually
I didn't go to the mall. Used to just hang
out in a basement. That was more my thing, you know,
and it just becomes about that. And um, I mean
then we got to talk to you about working at Coach,
which was so fun. I got, you know, it's funny.
I got more, I think getting down Page I didn't
get too because I'm not gonna make this. I'm not

(01:09:27):
going to ruin their podcast where are you Going? Where
you Go? I got each other one about it. I
got fired look apart to uh and is there a
tweet or some of the work of social media you've
been enjoying page? Okay, So I had a hard time choosing,
can I say to Okay? So one was I was

(01:09:49):
actually doing. I was looking for stuff for we do
a Patreon from all Talk where we'll talk more about
like mall news and like things like mall events and things.
And I found this TikTok for this mall, Eastfield Mall.
I don't I forget where it is exactly, but it's
this TikTok where the marketing manager has started posting videos

(01:10:09):
of these two geese who are nesting in the parking
lot of the mall, and she named them Henry and Violet,
and she like update posts the update of them every
day and this like first video. I'm just gonna play
the very beginning of it into my mic so that
you can hear. This is Henry and Violet. They decided

(01:10:31):
to nest here at the mall, so we gathered everything
vild withold me. She gets like stuff from the Greek
restaurant inside the mall for them to be to eat,
and she like cleans off this like this pool to
to fill with water for them, and like she like
there's another one where she there was one that got
huge where she's like getting berries for them. There's another

(01:10:54):
one where she like goes to the hardware store and
buys like dried meal meal worms for them. Oh it's
Eastfield Mall on on TikTok. The latest is that apparently
other geese have started to show up. Oh yeah, yeah,
and the chick is like she was like, Henry, you
gotta stop telling people to come here. This is not

(01:11:16):
a good place for people to nest. We're taking care
of you. Because so it's like very sweet. They like
they like put barriers around this. It's like one of
those little islands in a in a parking lot. They
there to have their babies, which I'm like, yes, yeah,
it's so fun. I'm following them. I did a duet

(01:11:36):
of me reacting to one of those videos and they responded,
You're our first duet and I was like yeah, and
honor dude, like me get my kids back. Wait, I'm
involving this mall and all my personal problems now. The

(01:11:56):
other the other thing I wanted to bring up is
do you guys know that Lord has on Instagram where
she reviews onion rings. Nah Lord as in Australia's very
own New Zealand's very she reviews like like store like
from a restaurant, onion rings. So she has this Instagram
account that she actually started to be like a private

(01:12:17):
thing with her and her friends, and like I think
she was doing it like when she was on tour,
and then of course people found it and realized it
was her. She's only ever, she only has like nine
posts ever on here, but it's like pictures of onion rings.
So it's like every few months, Lord will be like,
so I ate some onion rings. Here's my review, and
she posted one like yesterday, and she last time before

(01:12:39):
that was in December, and it will just be her
being like these. She was like, we're talking pickled onion rings,
which is the first for this reviewer. I totally vibe
the concept. Used to eat pickled onions out of a
jar as a youngster. However, I think you're going to
go there. If you're gonna go there, go there and
let acidity rather than sweetness dominate. Absolutely sensational batter, perhaps

(01:13:01):
the best I've tried, four out of five overall ring experience.
She's posting pictures of the onion rings. I want to
believe as a Lord fan that this could be a
sign that maybe she's going to release another album after
several years, but probably not. I don't know. Yes, she's
it's been quiet for a minute. I love that that

(01:13:22):
was a four out of five and out of five
out of five, like real standards, that's haunded like a
five out of five and she was like, yeah, it
could have been better. She's gonna be honest. I mean no,
I don't know how I've ever had it could have
been better. Yeah, I don't know if she's ever given
a five out of five. Um, yeah, she's she's Uh,

(01:13:45):
she's the one that's one out of five from Burger
King Damn tough day for Burger King. Um, Miles, where
can people find you with? Tweet? You've been enjoying Twitter, Instagram,
Miles of Gray. Also the other podcast for twenty Day Fiance. Uh,
let's see a couple of teets I like. This is

(01:14:05):
from at patag jokes Alex Pattak does that you say
his name? Then? This is just sub zero kills a
guy me. That's from the video game. That happens in
the video game. I love that ship. Another one is
from Chunk Barty at chunk Barty tweeting giving myself sharp

(01:14:28):
by regularly asking myself to tough questions like what happened
yesterday and what was that planning on doing just now?
Which it's just about right. Um. And then another one
is from Patrick Monahan at Patty mo Quote tweeting Wired
Headline that says this researcher says Ai is neither artificial
nor intelligent. And next to that is a as uh

(01:14:51):
Mike Myer's portrayal of Linda Richmond from Coffee Talk, which
would definitely be a topic like a I either artificial
nor intelligent, talk about yourselves and I'm one of my
favorite ones was Duran. Duran is neither a Duran nor
a Duran talk yourself. So for the washed SNL fans
out there, that's for the Linda Richmond fame. I had

(01:15:13):
another chunk party tweeter. Android's so crazy when someone gives
you the prompt tell me something you've never told anyone, like,
are you out of your fucking mind? You can find
me on Twitter at Jack Underscore O Brian. You can
find us on Twitter at daily Zeitgeis. Were at the
Daily Zekeeis on Instagram. We have Facebook fan page on
our website daily zeitgeis dot com, or we post our

(01:15:35):
episodes on our foot notes. We're link off to the
information that we talked about in today's episode, as well
as a song that we recommend you go check out.
Miles what are we recommending today? This is a track
from Billy Woods. We did a track of his called
SpongeBob of a few weeks ago. I don't know, it
could have been years, I don't know. But this is
another track from him called spider Hole, and I just

(01:15:57):
like his whole flow. It's like lethar Jia but feels
very poetic and but also rhythmic enough that it still
feels like bars Um and I just appreciate the topics
that he talked raps about. So this is Billy Woods
with a spider Hole. Alright, go check that out. The
