Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hell, the losing all My jets that is courtesy had
Johnny Davis on the discord. He had a whole ass song,
but I don't know how Benny and the Jets goes.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
That well, So he did pretty awesome.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Thank you so much. I know that part. I know
the part that everybody knows and the part that is
just like infectious and in all of our brains all
of the.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Times I thought that was the whole song.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
I was really there was more than that.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's like that other Alton John song Saturday, where he
just goes Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Like white people wedding songs.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
You only know the chorus White People Wedding Music? How
was that not a compilation CD?

Speaker 5 (01:29):
I don't know how to tell you this, but we
do have those playlists. We just have to talk about them.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Pretty positive it exists. I bet you've been monetized if
that's not a website right now.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Like I just would have loved the like you know
that like soft focus late night TV commercial, whereas Love Ballad,
but White People Wedding Music, where it's just like.

Hutting to do you want to fit in?

Speaker 1 (01:55):

like one second of this song?

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Are you too cool for this venue? Do you need
to fit in?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
I like the idea of them just choosing the only
songs that they think are not offensive but completely not
understanding what they're about. Just like truffle butter. What an
amazing song about a very high quality butter.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Oh yeah, you can get a lot of I'm like,
oh no, they're like, I also love broccoli dram It's amazing.

Oh hard does it go? It goes hard?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
It goes that's right. Yeah. The elderly are always saying
this really goes. Anyways, enough bullshitting, that's my catchphrase. I'm
thrilled to be joined by today's very special guest co host,
a very talented writer, stand up comedian, advice columnists, podcast host.

(02:59):
Please welcome to the show, the brilliant, talented Sofia Alexandra.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Oh my god, thank you so much. But I prefer
that you address me as American Miles because that is
the only version of me that exists now since regular
Miles has been replaced by Italian Miles.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, yeah, this is old. This is Miles classic.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Like, it's like dressing. What are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Miles went to Italy and we lost him to the old.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
I started thinking about dressing. It was like Italian.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Oh yeah, you know, just slightly spicy.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
You know how Miles is. No, he literally is just
belongs to the country of Italy now.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And yeah, yeah, well, we're thrilled to have you with us.
American Miles, thanks so much. Yeah, thank you for doing it.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Italian Miles would just be kilometers boom boom.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Because of the system gray but spelled with E.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
by a hilarious and brilliant stand up, comedian, writer, actor, amproviser,
biomedical engineer. You can catch her on stages across this
damn country. It's I do Michael Winslow.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, I'm the Michael Winslow.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I'm sorry of.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Anti police academies.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yes, the police academy.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Michael Winslow of the community garden. Yeah. We like our heroes.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
They do not like me making noises in there.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I love the I love the idea of a cop
who just uses his ability to make noises as like
his own weapon, because I don't I don't believe we
ever saw Michael Winslow pool pull his gun, right. It
was always just he found a way to like get
in just like into like behind some crates and confuse
some criminals with some noises.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Like we don't have enough Maguiver cops, too many gang
police officers nowadays, not enough people making fun noises and
distracting high jinks.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
All I can think about is the first thing he
probably thought, I was like, oh, just making the sound
of a gun better than a gun, And then he
very quickly found out that was a mistake.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, and went find a pile of crates, made this
ount of a gun and then like his his fellow
police officers opened fire on him.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
That's it. And then from then on he's like, I
have to do the Rube Goldberg machine of sounds to
get to the outcome I'm looking for without any like
sounds that imply violins.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, there was only one realistic cop in police academy,
and it was Tackleberry, the deranged presumable recipient of a
traumatic brain injury, who was also like just all guns
all the time, just worried about shooting things, would shoot
a fly to.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, that seems like he would have passed the academy.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (06:21):
I mean like a officer, just like a That is
the entry level exam for the Christ Academy.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, what do you do when a fly is annoying you? Anyways,
Paula Be, we're going to get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Uh,
we're gonna just round out the week with a little
grab bag of some stories. We're gonna check in with Hutchinson.
Cassidy Hutchinson, that's her name, the former Trump aide who

(06:54):
gave us a couple little details in her new book
That's name I'm not going to say here, both because
I failed to learn it, but also because I don't
want to help yourself books. But there's some fun details
from behind the scenes there. Ruper Murdoch is stepping down
as the chair of Fox.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
No, he has so much more to give, you know,
like that we went to the same place.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
We're just dancing on.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
We ready.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
I'm like, I've been working on a little foxtrot number.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, a little Fox News trot number. He's so, he's
ninety two, not dead yet.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Unfortunately, white people call it just a kid, you know.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
What I mean?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Just a kids Okay, let baby, he's just trying to learn.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
But we're going to talk about I guess, like why
people give a shit about this. It's really like the
succession of it all seems to be why people give
a shit about it. And there are some good succession details,
some success tales, So we'll talk about that. Talk about
Bob Ross's first painting being on sale for ten million dollars. Yes,
very sles being recalled for having like this is truly

(08:20):
a nightmare. They like the thing, you know how when
you strip, when you when you peel the Craft singles.
They got the two like layers. I think there's like
an extra layer on these ones. And people are like
eating the plastic film stuck to one side of It's not.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Our fault, first of all, it tastes the same.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay, Hey, I like Craft singles.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
I think I can of all. This is discrimination against
singles and I will not stand for it. The like
plastic and how there's like classic and E and wrap it.
There's like two layers of plastic. I guess right, Yeah, there's.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Actually like two and a half because there's old.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Isn't it like a little pocket.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
It's a little bit pocket by accident?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah? Yeah, they like, I don't know exactly what was happening.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
With this, happen to tell Americans exactly what parts of
foods to eat, or we'll eat it all. We'll eat
the rind, we'll eat everything. We'll eat the paper around
the cheese. Tell us what we can't eat, we might
still eat it. Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
By the rind, you mean the Snickers bar wrapper, Yes,
that's the only rind we know of.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
By the rind, we mean the silica jail packet.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
The tide pod.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, I mean, how are they gonna sell some things
with a silica gel packet and then other things like
ramen that have a little flavor packet. We're supposed to
know that, like the silica jel packets are not flavor packets.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Taste like baking to me.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Okay, it's the same format.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Packet is a packet.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Also, if it keeps it fresh, how is that not
the tastiest part?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
So much?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yes? Yeah, oh man, it dries your mouth out.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
You know what. Then you just snap on a bunch
of potpourri and then it just like honestly just keeps
watering for the next like months, and then you're fine.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
Welcome to the La diet.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
So you eat a couple of silica packets and then
you juice your mouth up with some pop.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, just chase it with some popes.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
That's our new ozempaic.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
We might even get to Florida Surgeon general, who appears
to be the first surgeon general to have told people
not to get the COVID vaccine. So that's brave. Honestly,
I know Florida man applies Florida surgeon, Florida surgeon Yeah, yeah,
killing it.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
It's actually it's actually a Florida sturgeon. We did mix
that up.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
I'm so sorry, but it is like, you know what,
what did we expect, Like one small step for Joe Rogan,
one giant step for this man. Yeah, this is how
it happens. Yes, just like we don't we should trust
anybody about this.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm good, We're good here. He's not the right specialty,
but he's a doctor, so I think we're good. Before
we get to any of that bullshit, Paul of the
we have more important to cover, such as, what is
something from your search history that is revealing about who
you are?

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Okay, I'm not going to say exactly what it is,
but I do. I was like, so I am Indian.
Please don't tune out and have parents who are Indian?
Oh my god, spoiler plot twist.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Why one question is how?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh my god, it was an accent?

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Okay, something went weird in the lab. I was fit
by a radioactive guru.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Honestly, that's the only reasonable life.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
That is science. So I talk to my dogs and
like my boyfriend the way with the language that my
parents used to talk to me. You know how you
like learn intimacy from your parents and then like your
baby voice is like how your parents talk to you.
So that's like, so I use like nicknames and stuff
that my parents gave me as a kid to show

(12:09):
like affection, but sometimes I use them inaccurately because I'm
not like from India, so I don't know. So I
was like making sure that one of the nicknames I
called my boyfriend was like accurate and it means like
little girl, but it was accurate, my little baby girl.

(12:31):
But it's but like my dad like, for example, like
sometimes he calls me raja, which means king, so it's
not always like gender specific, so I'm like gonna keep
calling him that. But yeah, I was like, wait a minute,
am I am I Indian enough to know this? Like
I'm just like googling my own culture, you know what
I mean. I'm like this thing that I've been called
my entire life? Do I know what that means?

Speaker 4 (12:53):
This is how I know I'm fucking Eastern European because
I'm like, huh, never had this happen? Oh oh, that's
because my Ukrainian family does not use enferments. Yeah, there's
no mystery there or solved it seconds. Okay, that's so
fun amazing.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I do really love that your dad calls you king.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
That's okay.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
My friend Arlow, very funny comedian from Portland, they call me.
I love Arlow. They call me tiny king one time,
and I was like, this is the correct gender expression
for me? Like I don't. I have a lot of
questions about my gender, but that was right. You know
what I mean. I am a tiny king. I'm not
a short king. I'm like a tiny king, do you
know what I mean? So I'm like, it's always been

(13:38):
that way. My dad just knew.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
You know, what's something you think is overrated?

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Okay, this might end my relationship, but I'm not going
to say it because it's not overrated, because it's just
that I had misconceived or notions going into it. My
boyfriend is a sneaker head, okay, and since dating him,
I have upped my sneaker game one thousand percent. I

(14:05):
have so many more shoes than I've ever had. At
the beginning of dating, we were walking through a mall
and there was a guy who was like doing the
shoe cleaning, and he was trying to get us to
like get our shoes clean, and he yelled out, do
you want shoe cleaning. It'll help your relationship. Like, that's
how bad my shoes were getting roasted. But it's dude,

(14:25):
because my dogs eat my shoes. I never give a shit.
So I bought all these like new nikes, and they're amazing.
They make me feel better. They're wonderful. But I will
say the culture around it. I know everybody, like men,
women on binary people wear it. It is heels for men.
They are not comfortable. Okay, they're esthetically pleasing. I was like,
they're gym shoes, they're sneakers, They're going to be so comfortable.

(14:48):
How they're not comfortable. Just know that going in for
anyone dating a newly dating a sneaker head or getting
into it, I had no idea. Okay, so that's that.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Some of my favorite high tops are like some of
the heaviest things that any human has ever worn on
their feet.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Like my Kyris feel like ashes on my feet. I'm like,
there's no so bautible.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
They're wonderful and I feel amazing like performing in them,
I'm actually caring where I step Now. I used to
just walk through mud and stuff, and now I'm like, oh,
I do care about how I appear in my feet,
you know, my footwear. But like it's nice to invest
in yourself. But oh my god, I thought there would

(15:39):
be patting. I'm like, these people play basketball and are athletes?
Do they just suffer all around and expect me to what.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
You're like, I don't have a Michael Jordan's salary to
walk around in these all the time, Like what.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Michael Jordan's self esteem? Like, I'm so lazy?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Are Like, I think the threes are really comfortable of
the joy if you're talking about Jordan's. The threes are
super comfortable in my experience, But it's a real crap shoot.
The ones like the first Air Jordans, which are like
kind of the coolest ones, the most classic ones that
like you know, they're amazing. They there's a scene in

(16:19):
the Last Dance where Jordan, like out of some sense
of sentimentality, plays his last game at Madison Square Garden
in Jordan Ones and his feet are bleeding, like actively bleeding.
It's truly like it's the most like openly I've ever

(16:40):
seen a corporation admit that their product sucks outside of Dominoes,
where they're just like, yeah, these are bad, man, These
shoes are bad.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
I like, it's so because you look at them and
you're like they have to be comfortable, which is like
put something in there, and it's that. That's the only
thing is like I never want to hear men planning
about like women's feet hurting because it's like, I know
yours are too. Okay, You've just been keeping it quiet
this whole damn time and selling these shoes.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Cry in the Yeah, I suppose.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Now I will too. This tiny king is repressing their tears.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Welcome to the team, Rajah says.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
I got yeah, I got one pair of like one
of my favorite pairs of shoes I ever got were
these like collabor collaborations between Air Jordan and the Levi's
Jean brand.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
And the you Got Juice jagging shoes.

Speaker 7 (17:43):
That's about okay, see that. I know.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
I was like trying to come up with it, and
I was like, I'm just saying a.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Group of people.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Sheans, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
That's also a group of people that's the members of
the Martin Sheen family, and I don't want to mess.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
I thought it was like the fast fashioned.

Speaker 8 (18:08):
Family Yan brothers, but they like every piece of I
think what it taught me was like denim is one
of the heaviest known materials to man, because like every
piece of the shoe is made of denim other than
the laces.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
And holy shit, when I tell you these are like
like the mafia should put people in these before throwing
them into a bottom.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
I'm where Jay Leno is salivating.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Okay exactly, but it's so.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
Funny where like this is like plutonium.

Speaker 9 (18:41):
Yeah, I will say real quick, apoloy in defense of
someone who's also a sneaker head.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
I talked to you guys about this last time.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
No, no, no, I know I think that I think
that is.

Speaker 9 (18:53):
I don't know how it works of like physics wise,
but I do think like the bigger your feet are,
the more comfortable the sneakers are because they're designing them
for people who wearing size sixteen seventeen feet.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
I wear size thirteen and a half.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
And now I'm on a friend just like Justice, it
must be on the air.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Yeah, please don I don't.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
I didn't want it to be because I don't know
if it's right. I do you want.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
To quote you or do you want to come on?

Speaker 4 (19:19):
No?

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Put that interstitial it's still put it in so my
feet are too tiny to be happy? Is that it
are so small?

Speaker 6 (19:29):
I don't know how.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I don't know if I should go on record about
the fact that my feet and other parts of my
body are not.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Huge and comfortable and well taken care of.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
Maybe I don't know. That's just how it works physically,
That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I don't make sense. I think that's.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
Also like I feel like justice because it's like tall
people are uncomfortable everywhere, like in airplanes, walking through door frames. Yeah,
so it's like, now finally there's Yeah.

Speaker 9 (19:56):
And I'd say that's exclusively reserved for the newer shoes.
The are always going to be shit. They made Jordan's
feet bleed, They're obviously going to make my feet. Yeah,
you know that's that's one hundred. But I think this
is true of the of the newer stuff. Absolutely. I
think the bigger your feet are, for whatever reason, the
more comfortable they are.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Do you think when Jordan's feet were bleeding, he was
like and I took that personally.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I took that personally. And that makes sense though, that
they're all the shoes are designed for giant human beings.
Do like the Nike must redesign though, right, they must
be like okay, and then how do we make this
so it like works on like ninety eight percent of
the population.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Why would they need to if we're still buying it
for them to just continue what they're doing because we're
all idiots and we're still buying it.

Speaker 9 (20:43):
They truly don't give a shit about their customer base.
I will say that.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
We're the people who manufacture them.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
I don't think they care on either end.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
I truly think it's just really profits. And if they
could just like put Nike on like just scaffolding and
just make you put your feet in it, they would, Yeah,
also like fabric on it.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
I don't understand fashion, but a lot of the designs
of like cool newer shoes are like I guess ugly
in Vogue, Like you know what I mean, Like it's
like a trend to be disgusting, and it's like, okay,
make that true for personalities, and I'm with you, you
know what I mean. But I'm like, I never understood fashion,
and now you're doing ironic fashion and I'm confused, Like.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
These shoes look like the shitty shoes that you didn't
want to get when you were a kid like that.
All of my shoe taste and like, shoe buying is
wish fulfillment for myself. When I was eight years old, exactly,
I couldn't get the Jordans, couldn't get like any of
these things that I wanted and thought, like still think
they looked cool. The designs are so classic, and the

(21:49):
shoes that people think are cool now or are buying
more now seemed to be the ones that I like
had to get that were like available at payless shoes.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
Yeah, I'm mostly buy sneakers for forty year olds who
get excited that I have them on the street, you
know what I mean. They're like, oh my god, you
have those and literally no one else cares. Yeah, but
I live for that and that fulfills my heart in
this weird little way, and I can, I can be
frank about that vanity in me, and that's that's okay.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yeah, I think as long as we all look down
and have fun, you know, as.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Long as we can all make fun of you justin
I think, like whatever you believe or like love is fine.

Speaker 9 (22:32):
Yeah, please please roast me lightly for it. I might
have an ego death if you go too hard.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
But I never I bought kyries. I think I have
roasted myself.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
For this stuff.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yes, yes, I will.

Speaker 9 (22:46):
You know what, He's got a few hitters out there,
but yeah no, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, and you mean by a hitter. He's got a
few hitters out there. Some of his political opinions, they're
pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
Oh well, you said it.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Those are my favorite parts of him. All right, Well,
thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
We need Destin to take over the pod more often.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yeah, ah man, thank you so much. Guys appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
He's been saying this for years. He's like, you, guys
should not be on this podcast.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
Should he publishes the podcast. It's a completely different one.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Being chill, But it's actually just a coup that Justin
has been like meticulously planning right this entire time.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
There are so many narratives about me out there right now,
it's hard to know what to believe.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
But that's a big footed, chill, cool dude with amazing shoes.
Everyone's like, what's his deal? He's like almost too nice
to be nice.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
He made him sound like Bigfoot, but with like sneakers
on like that picture, the blurry picture, but with Jordan's.

Speaker 9 (23:46):
If someone in Zeitgang can please draw that, I would
absolutely purchase that band.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
That somebody has to have photoshopped Jordan's on the Bigfoot
in the blurry picture, right of course.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
All right, what is something that you think is underrated?

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Okay, Like I said, I'm very bad at self care.
I just started using I have two dogs, and they
shut a lot. I just started using a roomba. It's like,
let the robots take over, all right, you're doing it better. Okay,
this place is so much cleaner that I could ever
sweep it up. Just take my job. I don't care.
I don't care. You can do it robots, you know.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
New Rumba, Like how long go did you get the room?

Speaker 5 (24:26):
But so my my brother gave it to me, so
it's an old room. But but I just started using it.
So I'm like so excited.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
I'm not gonna say anything because it will disappoint you.
So I will just learn that on your own.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Wait, what's disappointing about it?

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Just there's a lot of that I can't do that.
It promises like that it can just like my father, No, really,
it'll get tangled up and like if you have long
hair at all, that shit, especially curly hair, will get
tangled up in it. It'll not you'll have to keep
cutting through. Uh, there's just a lot of upkeep. And
then sometimes it's like I don't understand that there's a

(25:03):
carpet step. I will keep knocking my little room behead
against it.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
Yeah. I got it for free and I had no expectations, and.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Oh see you're gonna it's awesome. I believe. I believe
I want everyone to have that first week that you
have the roomba where you're like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Everything is possible.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
That's how I feel.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, And sometimes it will like start like listening in
on your conversations, like you'll be like, wait, why is
the room but in the corner of the room while
we're like talking about or financial information.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
And why is it wet?

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Why does it have those Boston Dynamic dog legs? And
when climbing up the walls, where to get that gun?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, my experience with the room. But so I like,
I have the same question in my heart the second
you brought up the room. But I was like, oh, no,
she doesn't know yet.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
They don't know yet.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
I saw I saw the light leave both of our eyes.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Jack too. I thought you'd be so excited and I
was like, oh, this is so fun.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
And then but every time someone talks about their room,
but I'm like, what is it a new purchase? Because
I think they will solve it, Like I think eventually
it won't be bad like that, because like there are
things that does that are pretty cool, and.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
We've we've made artificial hearts and shit, like you're telling
you find a fucking room, but solution, Like I believe
in us.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
I love I love that we're talking about it like
we did it like sports teams. Yeah, of course we
made artificial hearts. Like, let's get on it, guys.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Go on. I mean, maybe the most advanced technology and
robotics is not going to be purchasable at a bed
bathroom beyond. Like maybe I was looking for it in
the wrong place, But how dare.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
I say that about bed bath and beyond? What the
fuck do you think beyond is about?

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (26:54):
That's what the beyond was. The singularity.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Also feel like I don't care how far technology advances
until we make a printer that works, you know what
I mean? Like, just print, just print when I want
you to print and that I'll be excited about.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
And that I also don't have to be like, oh,
I now need to get like new ink or some
shit or.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Owner Prime or highlight or whatever the fuck the princher
needs that my fight also needs.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yeah, Like I know I spend that at FENTI I
don't yeah it things for you.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't yeah zegang for anybody who's like ever worked
at like a you know, in the government or something
like that, do the powers that be secretly have printers
that work? Like do they just have Like I feel
like that there is a lot of like you know,
designed obsolescence and like designed like fuck ups with printers

(27:50):
so that like the ink costs more than the printer itself,
and like that's by design.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
The gank man big ink. I feel like they've been
saying it.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Somebody's probably figured out the printer and they just like
don't it's not profitable for them to sell a printer
that is like, yeah, this lasts ten years and just works,
you know.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
I will say, speaking of like the artificial hearts and stuff,
I have been in like academic settings with professors who
are like Nobel Prize winners, and they too, who are
creating these amazing technologies can only be foiled by printers
and PowerPoint presentations. That is the only thing that can
defeat a professor.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Successfully that tracks, that tracks, honestly.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
come back and catch up on some news heading into
the weekend. We'll be right back. We're back.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
We've been here the whole time.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
We've been here, the whole damn have been audience that
you've been off in some nether world listening to ads
growth her yeah, herb All right, let's talk about Cassie Hudginson.
She was White House aid to Donald Trump, and she
revealed she has a new book coming out which.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
Oh my god, yay love it.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I can't imagine that was her entire being a White
House eate. But she revealed that Rudy Giuliani groped her
during the Stop the Steel rally on January sixth. YEA
truly just like a mega like trifecta or something.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
I would have been surprised if he hadn't groped anyone
on any given day, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, that's kind of what he does. He is a
walking dick with hands and an ability to consume alcohol.
But she also has a little nugget that makes a
lot of sense. That the reason that Donald Trump wouldn't
wear a mask, which was always surprising to me. Right,
he is a hypochondriac. He hates people, he doesn't want

(30:09):
to be around them, he doesn't like He keeps the
hand sanitizer like on the ready, even before the pandemic.
But then suddenly he got real brave with ed not
wearing the masks. So she told this story. President pulled
the mask off and asked why I thought he should
not wear it. So, first of all, cool Cassidy being like,

(30:30):
why are you wearing the mask? I pointed at the
straps of the N ninety five I was holding. When
he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw
they were covered in bronzer. He wasn't happy about that.
Why did no one else tell me that? He said,
I'm not wearing this thing. Trump was almost never seen
wearing one after that, with only a handful of exceptions,

(30:50):
and the press was like, you know, this guy's he's
rejecting the mask because of his political But.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
Would she admit that she was responsible for influencing millions
of people through Trump to not wear a mask. She
was like, I'm like so smart.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
It's crazy how many people I kill.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
That's what I think is wild about someone doing like
a tell all thing when like they don't.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
They're just she's just looking for money obviously, I know.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
But like if you don't have enough like brains to
know when you're showing your own ass while trying to
show someone else's, like, a tell all is not your genre,
my dog, like that is not You're gonna want to
stay away from that. It's just not gonna look great.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
She's like, tell all, I need to tell you all
why I'm a bad person.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Yeah, that's what we all is.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, but yeah, to your point, like so many people were. Then,
you know, his supporters took his lead start refusing to
wear the mask, mocking people who did. They still refuse
to wear masks to this day. And I'm not saying
it's all. I'm not gonna blame it all on Cassidy Hutchinson,
but like it's certainly not helping.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Like the most embarrassing part, none of his followers had
the type of bronze or he did. Okay, it was so.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Bad they wouldn't have even had Bronzer, come off. They
could have totally saved their lives in the lives of
the lives of their loved ones. All right, Rupert Murdoch
stepping down as fox Chair?

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Why God why?

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Part of the reaction to this story is a little
confusing to me because it implies that I was like
aware that he that his position was Fox Chair, and
that like, I don't know, like, couldn't he just continue
to like the person who's taking over for him as
his son, Like who's clearly it's not like he's decided
to he's like going to prison or something like, he's

(32:55):
just this could be a purely like everyone's acting like
it actually means something, and I'm not certain that it
does mean anything.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
It's like, you remember that movie from Justin to Kelly
or whatever? Oh yeah, oh my god, I was just
about to exactly right. But you know, from like from
Dictator to Dictator, it's like we're supposed to, like.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
You think Kelly Clarkson, Justin whatever his name, or Dictators.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
I'm just saying that's so funny.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Are you saying you're equally talented?

Speaker 4 (33:28):
I'm saying that movie felt bad, and this also feels bad,
And I agree with you.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
And I've been saying that this whole time. That's so funny.
You're like on a date, You're like, uh, have you
seen that movie? Justin to Kelly, That's what this feels like.
And the answer is always no, And my own answer
is no. One day you'll find someone who says yes,
and then that'll be your person.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
What a beautiful hate story.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
But so taking over for him his eldest son, Lachlan,
who's already serving as the chief executive of Fox Corporation.
So I get that, like this just like doesn't mean
anything to me.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
So he's already the same as fucking any kind of royalty,
any kind of anything. Just passing the shit back and
forth among themselves. You're supposed to be like, oh my god,
the new queen just dropped exact Wait a minute, is
it still the Murdoch family. Why don't we pause all
the press releases about this.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
If one of them is more susceptible to like eating
a pretzel, then I'll be interested. Okay.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
If they're not.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Getting like shoes thrown at them or whatever, I don't
give a fuck. Okay, and they're just in their little bubbles,
I don't care yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's like one of the types of articles this gives
rise to is the article where it's like, well he
sure did a lot, you know. It's just like, I mean,
you can't say the Iraq War wasn't impactful or you know,
like it's just like basically.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
It's one time is like, yeah we put Trump on
the cover. Yeah we said person of the year. We
didn't say good person of the year.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
But just like sheer wattage of their influence is what
is being determined, and that yeah toxic and bad to me.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
No one needed your input on it, you know, honestly.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Like time you're talking to me right now. Yeah, yeah,
well guess what, Jack, nobody gives a fun Justin takes
over from Jack to Justin no difference.

Speaker 10 (35:32):
I was just go, that was amazing that kind before
this actually mute as Mike Justin, I know you have
control over his house.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
I was listening to this podcast. It's like about dictators
and like it's like pretty interesting, but like every like
the way the narrator describes success is like Stalin was
quite a successful leader, and it's like, how are we
describing is it? Like oh, if maybe if I was

(36:04):
more successful, I could kill more people, you know what
I mean, if I had access to more murder.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
All I have to say is those seven year plans
were done and under five.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
Well, yeah, a lot of tricks were unmatched.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
There's a lot of efficiency to be gained when you.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Just murder murder people, yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
And erase them from pictures.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
Save a lot financially if you just kill a bunch
of people.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, you invent photoshop before, like years before Adobe did,
because you have to erase all those people from pictures.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
So, I mean, and you never made us pay for subscription.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
So I just was gonna say, that's why the Simptoms
Simpsons has that iconic line. That's why pencils have erasers
about Germans, you know, mistakes in the past by that. Yeah,
but that's why pencils have erasers.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
God, the Simpsons is going to be like, one hundred
years from now, viewed the way that we view Shaped Spere.
I think I was just like, man, that was the
best thing they did.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
It was and it was all performed by men Hanka's area.
He performs every single one of those voices.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah, exactly what and that is the thing that makes
it good. But yeah, I mean, so it's obviously led
to a bunch of succession memes, namely people seeming to
be bummed that he didn't randomly die on a private
jet spoilers training. But he was not caught up on
success He was just.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
About to go actual Murdoch was just about to go
to ocean Gate or whatever. Right, a Titanic drop at
ninety two.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, a Titanic drop. Oh my god, you guys, I
just did the Titanic drop. But like his so, I
I had heard that there are details in succession that
the caused the Murdoch family to put like NDA's and
like really like it made them paranoid because they were

(37:59):
like so accurate to what their lives are are actually like.
And just one of the details of like what this
power struggle was like is that he made them fight
each other because he thought that it would He pitted
kids against each other their entire lives. Oh yeah, he
thought that it would create a Darwinian struggle that would

(38:21):
produce the most capable air. And then his daughter Elizabeth
is by many accounts the sharpest, but she is a woman,
and Murdoch subscribed to you know, old fashioned values on
which we used to relize.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
Okay, so you're actually a family guy guy.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Also fun, you know, also wow. I mean he gave
us the Simpsons, he gave us Family Guy, and we're
gonna sit here and bad mouth him.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
I think about fighting a giant chicken. That's what I
think about when I think about Rupert Murdoch. I think
it's I think it's so fun that they were like
there's so many like secret details that are so accurate
that we can't let out, like how the woman is smart.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Shock of all, they'll never believe the brains went inside
the woman won the.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
Whole time like a trojan hole.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
But I mean, if it if it was so accurate
that they felt like they needed to like get litigious
with people about like leaking details, and he just let
one of his sons actually take over, I feel like
that's a good thing for us, because the actual like
the children on succession were fucking idiots, you know, like

(39:42):
they were all monsters who were.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
At the beginning of the end.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, so maybe like hopefully this is the beginning of
the end.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
Wait, do you think he really killed a waiter? Do
you think that actually happened? I mean, I'm sure they
killed a lot of people that.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Would be the sort of detail. Yeah, I mean these
like the stories you just casually hear about the sort
of evil done by not like necessarily the first generation
of people who get rich, but like the ones they're
kids who have been like raised or yeah, just raised
in like being ready to inherit like millions or billions

(40:20):
of dollars, like they are so ruined, like just the
least humane human people like all of all time. Like,
so I wouldn't be shocked if that was one of
the details. Of course, I have no way of knowing
that though. So yeah, that that made it sound like
I like helped them cover up a murder I.

Speaker 10 (40:41):
Know, and.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
No way of knowing that, and any allegations otherwise are
completely speecious. All right, Should we take another break and
then come back and talk about Bob Ross's rookie card?

Speaker 5 (40:56):
Yeah, all right, we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Man, We're back, and there's a big story. Bob ross
first painting on sale for ten million dollars. A Minneapolis
art gallery is reportedly selling the first ever painting he
created on his PBS show for nearly ten million dollars,
which seems like a lot for a work of art
that took thirty minutes to make. On the other hand,

(41:31):
I had the immediate thought, I was like, well, it's
like his rookie card. It's like, I don't know, don't
I don't care about the artistic value of like major
League Baseball, like baseball card, rookie card. Like, it's just
cool that it was like their rookie card that came
out when before we knew how awesome they were gonna be.
And that is exactly the sales pitch from the con

(41:53):
artist who is selling this thing, Who's like, what are
you talking about? This is a fucking rookie card. Also
the rookie cart.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
The last time it was on Zegeist and we had
another art story, remember, and we were talking about the
way that the art market. It was about the British Museum, remember,
and then poe Ing and all that stuff, but also
about how, in addition to all the other reasons, like
that museum and a lot of others are like a

(42:23):
crime the fact that so little of the artwork is exhibited,
right and like that also what ends up happening is
like much of it disappears or gets misplaced by a
man that runs the gallery and put by him on eBay.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Right.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
But the other thing we were talking about the like
the capitalism of like art in a way that is
like gruesome and won't leave anything in its wake, and
it's like the gagosianization of like everything, and to see
like some like I would love it if say that
ten million dollars or whatever the fuck went to like
an arts program or some shit, but like doubtful, you know. Instead,

(43:02):
now we're making a thing that that man prided himself
on making accessible to everyone on public television. We're making
we're setting the bid at ten million.

Speaker 5 (43:13):
Anyway, Yeah, I also think it's terrible. Anyways, I'm selling
my first joke for like million dollars to buy my
first open mic joke, Classic, Get in while you can.
It's probably about Dix or something, Harry Bob Roth of me.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Yeah, classic it is. Yeah, so much of the art
world is basically money laundering, and so much of like
all these stories where it's like this they just bought
this for ninety million dollars becomes a lie rob them
so much easier to believe when you realize that, yeah,
that it's just like rich people hiding their money in

(43:54):
a brightly colored thing.

Speaker 6 (43:57):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (43:57):
I want to rob them so bad.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
It deserved be robbed so bad.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
You know. Yep, I'm empathizing with the bling ring right now.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
I want to bob rob them. Am I right, I'm winning.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
I quit So I do just want to read this
part though, So I'm like, all right, fuck this, this
is terrible capitalism like destroys everything, including art. Like and
then I'm reading this description of Bob Ross, Bob Ross's
other most expensive work of art, which you know, people

(44:33):
are saying ten million dollars is wild. Just if you
look at the internal market for Bob Ross paintings, his
previous most expensive was ninety five thousand dollars. And this
is them describing that. And they said, painted on an
oil on canvas. This gem features a rope boat padding
to the shore on a sunny day, with reads and
sand visible in the foreground. It allowed Bob to spend

(44:56):
special attention to the way the sunlight illuminates the clouds
and how to stipple the edge of the waves of
the tides to get that white foam. And like I was, like,
my blood pressure fell by like three hundred and forty
five points. However, you just like reading a description of
like what he did like a description like that's a

(45:18):
plot synopsis of an episode of like a bob Ross show.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
It's an ASMR of ASMR.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Yeah, and so I'm like kind of in not not
on how much money this is, but like on the
bob Ross art market.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
The money part like cancels out the blood pressure d
Like I've ye stressed out thinking about a painting that
costs that much. It's in the hands of.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
That's like like looks at a thing and is like,
how do we make this stressful?

Speaker 5 (45:49):
This is like yoga run by someone with anger management issues,
you know what I mean? Like at some point it's
gonna snap.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
How do we make this like fuck people's whole shit up,
like just like really stress them out. Wait the thing
where the guy like calms everyone down? Yeah, how do
we make that? Like let's do a stressful and like
make people want to murder each other, you know how?

Speaker 4 (46:09):
Like he made you feel like sunshine inside What if
like our thing was like taking that and making it
feel like it was hailing in your heart?

Speaker 5 (46:19):
Can we bottle that? Can we sell it?

Speaker 4 (46:22):
Oh? I think people were enjoying the sunshine of it
now Nah?

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Fuck that Another one of America's Great Creations Craft Singles
are being recalled for gagging or choking hazards.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
Okay, gagged, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Bad news for those of us who are too lazy
to take four seconds to cut ourselves a slice of cheese.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
Wait a minute, it's got wrapping on it. In general,
I've been eating stacks of them at once. That's just
been unanging my jaw like a snake and housing fifteen
of them at once.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Yeah. Eighty three thousand, eight hundred cases of Craft Singles
are being recalled, which apparently one of the company's wrapping
machines had a bad day at work and some packages
were shipped out with a thin strip of plastic film
stuck to the singles, which is confusing. Like, I don't
know how it could be more stuck to the singles.

(47:21):
That's what I think thing already is.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
That's what I kept thinking too. I was like, how
would it be any different than the other plastic.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Like, of all the things, that of all the foods,
that I would not be worried having a thin strip
of plastics stuck to them. This would be it Because
I'm it's our it opened, that's its opening off. That's
what it has thin plastic stuck too.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
I buy it for the plastic and then I melt
the cheese down and sell that.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
It's like crying in the ocean, Like who even can tell?
Yeah me when exactly it's a victimless crime. The only
victim is yourself. Just like with graft singles.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
Crag in the ocean, which I will be doing on
Sunday with Sophia that date. We just go out, sir,
and we just sob.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Just up to your knees in the ocean, or what
are we thinking? Up to your shoulders?

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Yeah, just you just walk out.

Speaker 5 (48:16):
Actually, you just slowly walk out to the ocean in
like a white long dress, in.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
A white long dress with rocks in your pockets.

Speaker 5 (48:27):
Don't turn back, and you just sob. It's the coolest
thing in La. It's right after puppy yoga.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
It's called it pulling the Virginia Wolf diet. I don't
know what I called a diet, just for like marketing purposes,
but we juice.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
A little bit after we eat a little pot pourrie.
It's the lushous, fucking LA type of day.

Speaker 5 (48:48):
Yeah, type of death both.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
Honestly, what's the difference do.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
You guys fuck with craft singles? Are you? Are you
above it?

Speaker 5 (48:56):
Okay, I'm vegan now. I hate being vegan. Let's not
talk about it. But like, I'm vegan now, so I can't.
But I used to fuck with it a little bit.
You know, Well cheese on that sandwich, you know, only
in grilled cheese.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
Anything other than that, I'm like, it's it's necessary made
for melting.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Yeah, it is the thing that appeals to me about it,
and it's most American cheese. I actually don't think I
have had Craft singles and like, you know, a couple
of weeks, but it's it's mainly the low melting point.
Like I think there's a part of my brain that's
like that's not supposed to melt that quickly, and it's

(49:34):
just like.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
Water special properties or that it's polar and Craft cheese
an unnatural melting point.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Exactly, all right. And in other science news, let's talk
about Florida's surge in general. He you know, duck, despite
the the fact that COVID infections are nearing the first
peak of twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
Levels, flip flop with a mustache.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
It was like a candidate'sn and a little earring.

Speaker 7 (50:11):
No, like, yeah, we're it'sing candidates for Florida. I don't
know if we're regular grandpa just.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
A grandpa's selected at random.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
A jet skiing on fire. Okay, I'm not sorry.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
I like the cut of his jib. Yeah, you know,
because he's on fire.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
He doesn't seem like he gives a fuck at all
that jets.

Speaker 5 (50:38):
He's not wearing a mask, why should I?

Speaker 1 (50:40):
That's right. The CDC just released new data indicating that
he warn't healthy adults under the age of sixty five
against taking a new COVID nineteen booster, and CDC just
released new data that he gave that advice just days
after Florida ranked first in the nation for COVID related hospitalizations.

Speaker 5 (51:02):
I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with COVID
and everything to do with critical race theory. And this
is how I'm gonna say.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I will yes, his predecessor was like this. The vaccines
remained very, very safe and have really proven efficacy, particularly
against preventing severe disease, which I do feel like we
always need to say, because the the way this story
has trended is just people being like, yeah, but I

(51:32):
don't know, like everybody had different things to say during
the pandemic. It was a crazy time, and it's like, no,
those people were wrong, and they killed many, many people
with their wrong opinions, and now one of them is
the certain in general of Florida.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
But to be fair, his like scientific backing is that
the vaccine is gay.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
Dogs, right, so much gayer than I was.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Honestly, Yeah, like he actually had. He's a little like
doctor Oz in the sense that like he when you
look at his background, there was a time when he
was like a very respected medical professional. He's a Harvard grad,
accomplished clinical researcher at UCLA. And then COVID hit and

(52:24):
he started being like, fuck the lockdown, we should all
just go about this like nothing matters for you. Guessed
it Rupert Murdoch in the Wall Street Journal. And then
he joined a little uh yeah, I know, rip to
a real one. Then he joined a little group called
America's Frontline Doctors, which you remember, might remember.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
Oh my god, I remember that image of them.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Yeah, they protested at the Capitol.

Speaker 5 (52:50):
They were all wearing white coats. Yeah, and I was like,
are these real doctors? And then like most of them
were plastic surgeons.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
And I was like, what the fuck. Then you're like, yeah,
so obviously now.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
And this was the one real doctor that and that's
why Dysantis like selected him and was like, I know
you have like no background in politics or like being
any sort of surgeon general or any position like this,
but because I feel like I could use you to

(53:24):
pone the libs, I'm going to make you the surgeon
general and then kill so many people, like just really
playing with fire in the in Florida, like so many
old people.

Speaker 11 (53:37):
They're so old there also being chosen by I just
imagine that explanation you just gave as like a drunk
history episode where DeSantis is being played by someone like
Rob Hubel and he's like, and I chose you because you.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Second on the lips. I am a little drunk. I
can probably tell.

Speaker 5 (54:01):
I also think like people like sure people could have
like having gone to like a really science the engineering school.
It's like, yeah, you can be very smart in like
one or one specific thing, but then really dumb in another.
But also like don't underestimate the power of selling out,
Like yeah, to have like power and be tokenized and

(54:21):
be given like higher platforms because you are a token
or because of these credentials, and you can earn money
from that and earn connections from that that is not
impervious to your academic institutions that you've attended or like
the degrees you've accumulated. So it's like people who think
that they shouldn't trust science because they can't trust some scientists,

(54:44):
Like that really bothers me because it's such a blemish
on like stem and everything, because it's it's just like anything.
It's like, it's not the knowledge, it's the people who
wield it right that are corruptible. So that really bothers me.
I'm like, you're not doing us any favors.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Yeah, science, Yeah, I mean it's not like one one
profession is going to be one hundred percent like smart
and right on a subject. But people act like, you know,
because they found a single Harvard Harvard grad who like
has a medical background that like, well, that proves that, folks.
I was like, no, it's science defeated. There's this crazy

(55:23):
thing called second opinions, and you are the only person
with this opinion. So yeah, and it is an opinion,
it is truly an opinion. Like he so since he's
been the Surgeon General. Like he added a thing claiming
that like warning men against taking the Pfizer and Maderna vaccines,

(55:46):
pointing to an analysis claiming the shots increase the risk
of cardiac related deaths among young men.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
That's what I said, gay.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Right, But then later revealed that the evidence he pointed
to in that analysis was written by let me see him. Wow,
he had personally altered the state study he cited, and
the Florida Department of Health study said that there was
no significant risk associated with the COVID nineteen vaccine for
young men, and then, in a draft labeled doctor El's edits.

(56:19):
What that is so funny, the DAPPO modified the report
so it read that like it was a risk to
men between eighteen and thirty nine, which is like false.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
It's like that dude from the British Museum, remember who
was solely selling the heart making his fucking eBay seller name,
just his actual email, connected to his Twitter, connected to
his everything.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
Yes, I also have a folder on my desktop called
doctor GE's edits and it's just pictures of me photoshopped
as Andrew Garfield's wife, So like same, that's also real
to me. That's a real.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
Fact to me.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
But anyway, despite like that, that became a scandal obviously
because he like altered a scientific paper with just like
things he wished were true and so funny. Since then,
he's been confirmed for a second term by the State Senate.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
So also, that's really funny because of how papers and
science are peer reviewed and like how reviews and edits
go about in that in that profession, like you have
to peer review. Journals are a thing where like other
experts in the field like examine your experiments and your
methods and your materials and they're like, hey, add this
experiment or like this, uh, this isn't sound enough. You

(57:33):
need to have more subjects or whatever. And it's just
like it's just so funny that he's like, you know what,
I'm going to publish this on my own.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
I'm going to ask my own.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
It's like it just adds to the hilarity within academia
of like these professors are on a power trip and
want to just do whatever the fuck they want to do.
It's so fun Yeah, I love that. I'm gonna start
doing that. I'm gonna do doctor G's edits and there
you go be like, you know what, we are going
on a date. Okay, these are cheese, yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
My Edits such a pleasure on the podcast as always,

Speaker 5 (59:25):
Yes? Okay, So this person named Liz Elkin tweeted. She tweeted,
Matt Gates pins shutdown on McCarthy. We will have a
government shutdown, and it is absolutely Speaker McCarthy's fault. We
cannot blame Joe Biden for not having moved our individual
spending bills. We cannot blame House Democrats. We can't even
blame Chuck Shomer in the Senate. And then the official

(59:48):
White House account quote tweeted it with that onion article
that's heartbreaking. The worst person you know just made a
great point about the White So I'm like some social
media intern is on their game, like taking that meme
and posting it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Yeah, it's wild. I was like, I think that's the
first time the workimedia we've been enjoying was from at
White House.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
At White House, yeah, I think I've heard of it. Like,
they're doing really terrible work, So go ahead check them out,
follow them. Disappointment when your student loans aren't canceled.

third so fun. I am really interested in Ellery Smith's quotes.

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
I love Ellery Smith.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Of this film updates recreation. Ben Schwartz recreating this cable
knit sweater billy crystal look, and Ellery wrote the quality
of sweaters has declined so greatly in the last twenty
years that I think a genuinely, genuinely necessitates a national conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Yeah sweater. Yeah, So Ben Schwartz was like trying to
recreate the billy crystal sweater from when Harry met Sally.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
Yeah, and just look how soft and plushy this motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
And then and then what the hell is this? It's nightmare.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
It's really nightmare.

Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
It's a shame sweater.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
I got this in high school when I was in
Ross and I was like, maybe I'm preppy and it
was a hard no then too.

Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
So yeah, I will say I'm actually opening for Ellery
Smith's special taping on the day, so you guys should
go buy tickets to that because it's going to be amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
She's very funny, very funny, like anybody who has a
good way of looking into the ways that like things
have gotten worse, because like we talked about, like there's
definitely like things like movies have gotten worse because of
like CGI and like the ability for companies to just
like send you like a scam bullshit product or more

(01:02:13):
but calls. Yeah, but if like phone, the ability to
use the phone has gotten worse, the ability to use email, text,
everything is getting slowly turned into just complete bullshit.

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
But at the end of this, are you going to
say make America great again?

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
So I'm just say.

Speaker 4 (01:02:34):
No and under it is a maga hat and has
