Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season twenty six, Episode four,
Daily's eight gast Yeah for April twelve two. My name
is Jack O'Brien a K Jim Jackson Doug in. That
is a WrestleMania a K courtesy of Gray Black at
Black of all Grays, and I am thrilled to be
joined as always by my co host, Mr Miles Gray.

(00:23):
Can't you running a Gray? Can't you running a Gray?
That is a far Side reference? Thank you so much
to Kell and t who's been hitting me with some
really just great musical musical a ks and you know
never I mean, if I have a chance to do
a Jay Dilla produced track, I will do it. So

(00:45):
thank you so much. Was that produced by Jay? That
is Jay Dilla produced? How out that far Side? Did
not know that bangers have been coming in fastened six
since we shouted out Chapman Rice, people started getting like
competitive there, oh ship, I didn't know. I mean, Chapman
is still about the throne, but you know, for sure
we're seeing other people. They definitely want to they want

(01:06):
to play the game of Thrones, you know what I mean.
But also if you like that song, check out the
stand Gets song. That's that's an example from so dodgy
nicle handle. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in
our third teet by the hilarious stand up comedian John
O's all a okay, the original jay Z. Don't don't
anyone in fact check that. Okay, we want I'm going
to believe it. But he did get that ship from you. Yeah,

(01:27):
let's face it, John, back when he was in the
Marcity projects, are right? Johnnah? What is something from your
search history that is revealing about who you are? I
one of my recent search history things is a Desert
Storm Trading cards hellya, because you swartz cough Oh yeah,
swarts coff the whole collection the way you really do?

(01:51):
Oh do? Yeah. I found it at a through store
in Bloomington, Indiana when I was traveling, and it was
such a great fine. It was only sick bucks or
something like that. But yeah, there was like a whole
um because it wasn't just people like there was like
the generals and like Secretary of Fense Dick Cheney at
the time, look at all. Yeah, he was up. He

(02:14):
was one of the it was one of the big ones. Um.
The Commander in Chief George H. W. Bush. But then
they had a ton of random equipment cards, so there
was one for like night vision goggles for this that
we've been actually trying to figure out here in the

(02:34):
daily studios. Do night vision goggles actually make that high
pitched scream uh screech when you turn them on like
they do in the movies in their early nineties? It's
for effect? Right, I bet it is too, But like
when like a flash would charge on a disposable camera,
they're like yeah, or like any kind of space sound

(02:54):
that they have like in Star Wars or everything like that,
because like obviously there's no sounds. Who knows. I mean
the reason we thought about that is because they're going
to remember the night vision goggles from Trassic Park. It
was a cool night vision and the lawyers like, are
they heavy yet them? Put them down? Their expensive or
then they're expensive put them back. So that's coming back. Uh,
And that's when we thought, do they really make the sound?

(03:16):
We don't know, Hey, anyone with anybody who's an active
service military or you have experience with those headsets, let
me know they make the sound? Do they not? Uh? Wait?
The best card though, Yeah, what's the best bomber? Right,
that's certainly a good get, as they say, probably among them.
You have to look at the Beckett on Yeah, I

(03:39):
think Beckett had to go online because nobody even but
I mean, let's be real, anytime I used it for
people who don't know, Beckett was like the stock market
index for trading cards in the nineties. Yes, so you
knew what a card was worth, and if you ever
were in the card collecting, you would go to the
card store and you would just look at the Beckett
in the store and then leave like there was no
need to take buy it or take it. I still
have most of my portfolio tied up in baseball. I'm

(04:03):
in and I have really I have nothing now right
I thought these rookie cards will be worth something. Turns
out because everybody had that Ken Griffy Junior rookie card,
it's not worth as much as we except for the
I think the signs show hey, Otani card is worth
like seven grand right now or something right now, right
now when people realize, oh, everyone has went out and

(04:26):
bought that. Everybody had the same idea where they're all
decks for like the nasty people, like the sad you
know what, I don't think so it was just the
good quote good guys. Uh right, you know what. I
think there was one for Sadam. I believe. Okay, well
this should be because I remember in Iraqi Freedom they
had the trading card deck. Yeah, so like everybody could

(04:46):
identify like the most wanted people. Remember, don't you remember that? Yeah? Yeah,
it was the trading card deck for all that that
was for soldiers, right, was that something you could it was?
But then you could buy it, you mean like the
playing card deck, not the trade Yeah, playing card from
the soldiers, so they knew like how you know, which
was like the Ace of Spades or whatever, just a

(05:08):
hierarchy or the joker. Depend They really did a good
job branding that war though. They really did. So. Uh,
that's a period of time. I don't know if that
seems recent to people who aren't as old as me,
but to me, like I still remember going to elementary
school and they're being, uh, you know, stealth bomber fruit

(05:32):
snacks and like fruit snacks that were that that's how
fun and like yeah you got if you got the
stealth bomber, like everybody would like you would trade your
entire dessert to get the stealth bomber fruit snack. Yo. Wait, yeah,
what fucking what was that? What what Brandon fruit snack
was that? I don't know, I remember that, yeah, because

(05:52):
I feel like they just tasted like shark. They took
shark bites and then made him into war. But yeah, so,
uh brief backstory on that war is that people thought
George H. W. Bush was a whimp. That was like
an actual media like narrative. They were just like, hey,
this guy seems like kind of a woos and so

(06:13):
he like after you know, going to that war was
most people would say justified because they had invaded quit.
But he then like had this huge military parade down
the street, down the middle of the street, and like
it was really some next level like World War two
ship that happened. Not that because I remember even fucking

(06:35):
Ninja Turtle figures were not safe from this propaganda. And
there was a set of Ninja Turtles that was like, oh,
Leonardo's an Air Force pilot or like Raphael is like
an infantryman. And I was like, this is weird because
they don't really funk with guns. But also I was
such a big Ninja Turtles fan. I was like, I
need them. Yeah, look him up, look shooting nunschucks people,
you know, like they had like like weapons, Like it

(06:59):
was crazy. That's very disturbing. Yeah. I also think that,
like it's interesting the way that it mirrors the time
that the different merchandise and propaganda. Because like back in
the early nineties, that's when baseball cards were a huge
they had trading cards, and then in the early two
thousands that's when the poker craze was going on. So like,
I wonder what the modern day North Korean war ramp
up will be. Cryptocurrency, un coins. We could talk about

(07:27):
American wars forever. But John, Oh, what what is something
you think is underrated? Underrated? Is? Uh? YouTube tutorials? I
had like one copy of my car key, and car keys,
for whatever reason, are ridiculously expensive to replace or like
I just needed a backup essentially, and everywhere you would

(07:51):
cause it like a locksmith or whatever. It's like yeah,
it's a hundred fifty bucks or tune, but whatever. Like
because it's not just the key like a house key
where you just cut it at home depot or of her.
You have to you know program it. Quote like they
have to do a certain thing because there's like a
transponder chip in every car key now to prevent theft.
Oh now yeah, not in like my old loose I

(08:12):
mean I think it was like around two thousand that
they started doing this, because I still you start mind
with a leather man. Uh so, like but the internet now,
like because like you don't have to go like you
can find out everything all that. I thought it was
like some specialty computer that they were programming. Like now
it's just like you do a certain combination of like
sticking it in the ignition and opening doors a certain combination.

(08:36):
So I just got a blank key, cut it at
a home depot and then programmed it myself based on
YouTube videos, and like it was twenty bucks instead of
like two. So it's a scam. Don't don't fall for
from my young miscreens who are listening. Hey, if you're
trying to boost a car, you'd still have to steal

(08:58):
someone's key and then copy it. Well saying, but it's
your mom, you know what I mean? Yeah? Sure, who
didn't drive illegally first in their parents car? Come on?
Raise your actually okay, thank you? Right? I did not? Oh,
I said, who didn't? Never mind? What's something you think
is overrated, Um, I'll say baseball. I mean not like

(09:22):
baseball is great in a historical standpoint, but it has
I think it's reached. H I think it like peaked
almost last year in a modern sense. Like the series
was great and when seven games and all that stuff,
it was a little bit exciting, but that's like as
as good as it can get without steroids. And it's
still like I'm still more excited this year about the

(09:44):
NBA playoffs. Yeah, yeah, yeah than anything in baseball. But
you but you know, people should know that you you've
played baseball. I just feel like, is it going to
get any better than what it just was? You know what?
I I sort of think of it the same way
as like the Simpsons or whatever. It's like in my youth,
it was like great, It's the best that's ever been,

(10:05):
like my favorite sport of all time, my favorite show
of all time. Thing. But like it's so basically that
Dodgers Astro's World Series was when Principal Skinner became arm
in times area. Well seriously, because I still I don't
understand how there were as many hits and home runs
as there were less like vulgar it was crazy, Like

(10:25):
it was almost like a different sport had started being dead,
and it was it was right after the strike that
that the steroids Sara began to like revitalize it. In
that series was bonkers. I would love to hear conspiracy theories.
But yeah, I like I've heard that the balls were
too smooth and that's why they like couldn't get any

(10:47):
movement on the pitches or something. This last series, last
last there are conspiracies about it. That's what people were
trying to describe, Like why I jump on there as
a Dodgers fan, Like, yeah, I don't think we should
look into that, man, I mean, we're Houston having to
do with outer space? Hasn't this wasn'nna be the first
conspiracy theory? You know, Yeah, um, what about what's all

(11:11):
tied up with NASA? But are you what about does
he doesn't he excite you at all? Just because he's
he's starting to look like a pretty freakish player, you know,
based off the first couple of games. You know, like
I have the thing is I don't care enough to
watch there it is, Yeah Schrodinger's picture boom, there you go.

(11:31):
What is a myth? What's something that people think is
true that you know to be false. Um, the like
laws work essentially that like I want, you know, the
rule of law has has become into question a lot
in the last year because of current administration and the
laws they may or may not be following or haven't followed. Uh,

(11:53):
and like it really a lot of people talking about like, oh,
impeachment is a political process, not a law process, because
like you the political will. Um, it's not like he
you know, court is finding him guilty or innocent of
certain crimes and misdemeanors. But like in in a way
that's kind of the entire society. Like there's all laws
required the political will to enforce them, and like it

(12:15):
you know, it's gone back like as far as uh
Andrew Jackson, like was the Supreme Court rule that he
couldn't remove the Cherokee nation from Georgia, But then he did.
The trail of tears happened anyway. I think his quote
was just like John Marshall, the Chief Justice has made
his decision. Now let's see him enforce it where and
so he just did it anyway, And so like that

(12:36):
is kind of the playbook that the Trump administration is
going forwards like well we're doing whatever, try to stop us,
and and you know, it also goes the other way
where it's like it marijuana still is technically prohibited by
the net you know, federal government, but states have legalized it,
and so it's just what there's no political will in
California to go bust like you know, pot smokers because

(13:01):
states making a lot of money off. Yeah, exactly. And
that's the thing, like if there's money involved, like John
Baynard just became a spokesman for marijuana. Meanwhile, they're still
you know, racially enforcing it to their ends in you know,
the South where Avery Sessions his whole career is based
off of imprisoning black people and for smoking jazz cigarettes. Uh. Yeah.

(13:23):
I think that's definitely an interesting philosophical point at this
point in our country's history because a lot of the
questions that I have when it's like, well he can't
get away with that, is like, okay, so you're gonna
stop him, and if he does do the thing that
like we're scared of him doing in a lot of cases,

(13:44):
it's like, oh, so you're just gonna like have a
civil war, Like you don't write that nobody wants that like,
go fund yourself. You know that Hitler used that to
his benefit a lot in the run up to World
War Two. He's just what you want to do? You
want to do another world war? That was terrible, and
I just got kept doing I'm claiming this. Oh see
what I'm doing this. I'm just claiming my laban's realm.

(14:05):
You know, that's what space, that's what we're doing. All right,
let's get into the stories since we're already kind of
talking about them. Uh So, yesterday we mentioned that it
looked like there was a bill that was making its
way through UH Congress that was going to protect Mueller
from being fired. Now that's not seeming as certain, right, Well, yes,

(14:31):
there's a bill, so, I mean the news was that
for the first time there were there was like a
bipartisan bill that they were saying, Hey, here's something to
protect Mueller. That's great. That was in the Judiciary Committee.
So what's gonna have to do. It will have to
get out of committee, which it probably will. They're gonna
think vote on it next Thursday or Thursday after next uh,
and then obviously then Mitch McConnell he would have to

(14:54):
bring it to the Senate floor for a vote. And
but that so this is where it gets tricky, right,
So mccon donald has said that on like on as
early as I think Tuesday, that he's like, no, no
need for this kind of bill and anyway, so then
he and he felt like, whatever if we don't need
it yet maybe so that that makes you sure unsure

(15:16):
even if it gets out of committee, will it even
get to the Senate and then from there will it
get sixty votes? Will it get a veto proof two thirds?
You know? Like so there there are many hoops. That's
what it needs for Trump not to be yet there.
You have to be veto proof and then it would
have to get I mean then in the House, like
what are they gonna do? That thing is a headless
fucking chicken right now. And you actually have members in
that body who are actively like burn the d o

(15:38):
J down. So that's going to be a weird cell
in that house. But again, I mean, yes, it's great
that there is a bill being introduced. How effective it
could be is another thing that can be debated. But
then I think from the other standpoint is, you know,
what's the likelihood of this actually you know fully becoming ratified.
So the thing that they're introducing would make it so
that if Trump fired Mueller, it would be subject to

(16:00):
judicial review. Yeah, like exactly, and he could have basically people, uh,
show like the evidence or the basis to justify the firing. Um,
So it can't just be sort of like, oh well
I felt like it, like right now, which could happen
something like well I feel like it, so right. Um.
So Bannon has come out with his own suggestions of

(16:21):
how the president should handle this situation. It's actually exactly
uh the story that made me think of, you know, well,
so if he did that, wouldn't we just be in
like crisis? So what what's Bannon's plan? So Steve Bannon, Okay,
we all know that Steve Bannon, he was a former

(16:42):
you know, advisor to the president Bright Bart fucking mastermind,
you know what I mean. Genius. Honestly, his most genius
move is getting residual money from Seinfeld. I think that
is the smartest ever did. But anyway, that's a whole
other story. So he apparently has been floating this idea
like he's trying to tell people in the West wing like, yo,

(17:04):
I got this plan to fucking cripple the Mueller investigation. Listen, Okay, listen,
bro it's crazy. Step one, fire Rod Rosenstein or Rosenstein. Okay,
Step two toe Molo to fuck right off and don't
even cooperate with him. Why enter step three. You will
claim retroactive executive privilege to basically nullify everything Mueller has

(17:25):
done so it can't be used as evidence or anything
because nah, we don't like it. Basically, what he's saying
is like, the Mueller investigation should have never happened anyway, Therefore,
using executive privilege retroactively, any any interviews he's had, any
evidence that he's collected is just null and void. And
you know, hey, baby, we're all good now. So it's

(17:46):
not really good plan. But basically time travel I think
his plan. I think Mueller would probably counter that with
the constitutional power of no take backs. Yeah. Yeah, like
how they've already like indicted people based on testimony. There's like, oh, sorry,
we ignore all the things you definitely have heard and

(18:07):
seen of evidence of crimes. It's one of those things
that's very complex. But I guess the way Steve Bannon thinks,
you know, because he's a he's a legal genius that
this is like a good thing, you know. It's it's
like the fact that he's trying to stone wall them
and like I'm surprised kind of that wasn't the strategy
the whole time to just stone wall investigators. But it's
also like tacitly admitting that, like, oh yeah, crimes were

(18:29):
committed there and they've got us, like like if they
were innocent, Like the whole cooperation, like let's show everyone
what we did and how it wasn't illegal is a decent,
like pr legal strategy. But now that they're getting caught,
they're like, nope, but never mind. We never you know,
we never cooperated, and you can't use us against us.
We have nothing to hide, and the way we define

(18:50):
nothing is everything. But yeah, he did cooperate because his
lawyers told him to cooperate from the start. Uh. I
think under the assumption it they didn't do anything wrong.
But I don't think Trump necessarily would know if he
had broken a law and or care right. And I
mean that that was one of the things that I

(19:12):
took away from the Slow Burned podcast about the Nixon
Watergate situation was that like he bluffed people saying he
had nothing to do with it, and that he was gonna,
you know, cooperate. Up until then he like fired a
bunch of people. But in the end he like just
turned over all these tapes that were like recordings of

(19:33):
him being like, so, we're gonna break the law, and
it was just like at a certain point he was
just like yeah, here, like you know, there there was
like nothing left for him to do, and so he
just I don't know, there was like this weird cognitive dissonance,
like mental break where he was both like he chose
to exist in a world where he hadn't done anything wrong,

(19:56):
and so he gave them the evidence that proved he had.
So I don't know, maybe maybe that's what's going on.
But at least Trump he has the instincts to know
when he's done something wrong and knows how to deal
with it, which is just you know, threatened people and
scream about it and blah blah blah. You know what
I mean. Like I think his his legal strategy throughout
his life is do whatever the funk you want, and

(20:17):
then when people start being like, oh, you can't do that,
then just get some lawyers to do what they do.
Have Michael Cohen pay him off, right, and then without
knowing that Michael Cohen like I think one legal like
like a publication called the worst law school in America.
He went to Hollywood Upstairs Law School. Yeah, he literally,

(20:38):
I think studied under Bob blah blah. So I don't
know what the deal is. Yeah, yeah, I just read
a quote from him that was like talking to a
journalist I think it's Slater Box who was going to
write something critical of Trump during the election, and he
was like, what I do to you is going to
be fucking disgusting. Yeah, Like so it was really weird,

(21:03):
you know law talk, right, Uh, that's that's a legal jargons.
All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And uh So one of

(21:25):
the very first really strong stances that the president took
during his campaign and that he actually followed through on
once he was in the White House was uh t
p P the Trans Pacific Partnership I think, uh not
him toilet paper in a house right exactly. Uh, he

(21:49):
said it was a bad deal, was crazy, America was
getting ripped off, and pulled America out of it immediately.
And this is actually that wasn't super controversial. Hillary said
she was not going to ratify it if she got elected,
but this was something that he was dead set on.
And now that he has taken the very early steps

(22:10):
of starting a trade war with China, uh, he's starting
to go back on that firm stance and I'm around. Yeah.
He had a meeting with some of the staff and
he was just like, get us back in t p
P is GPP like every Asian country other than China.
It does not include China. It includes like Vietnam, Australia. Uh. Right,

(22:36):
the countries that are in the agreement is Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico,
New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and the US. Yeah that's
most of them. Yeah. I mean, I think maybe that
Trump is realizing as if we're not in there, then
that gives China the incentive to bully these other countries
or be more of a powerhouse in this sector of

(22:58):
global trade. So it's like the economic NATO to combat China,
like the way that the European NATO is combating Russia. Yeah. Yeah, oh,
I need to make So he started a fight with
a big bully is like, everyone gather around me, help
me someone, hold me back, hold me back. But yeah, yeah, exactly,

(23:18):
so they you know, that's in place to keep China's
influence at bay. But you know, when Trump doesn't deal
with facts or figures, it's hard to have a coolherent policy.
So do you mean like his statement that TPP was bad,
it was not specific. Yeah, bad deal. I would do
a better deal. Yeah. I think this entire section, uh,

(23:39):
running theme is going to be Trump's inability to properly
estimate the intelligence of just everyone else besides him, because
you know, due to his level of intelligence, he only
has a certain level that he can get to, and
he assumes that's the level everyone else is at and
then lo and behold. It ends up being more complex

(24:00):
and people have reasons for doing the things they do.
We're not doing the things like starting a trade war
with China. I guess all you have to do is
do the Obama test. It was his idea, right then
then go away forever. So what is one of the
consequences of him trying to, you know, start this trade
war with I mean, look, to start off, we should

(24:21):
say that you know, Trump was like we're going to
tear off the shoot out of the Chinese or whatever,
and the Chinese in turn, we're announcing tariffs. President g
has like sort of opened up a little bit. He's
not as hard line, but also he's very clever, and
he's not trying to just push his chest and be like, yeah,
let's throw the whole fucking global economy to crisis. They're
down for a long game if they have to. But

(24:43):
before those developments this week, he was talking spicy, and
he keeps talking about the export import disparity between the
two countries because on its surface, the Chinese probably has
more to lose because they sold US five six billion
dollars in stuff, and you know, we only sold a
hundred thirty bill into the Chinese. But this trade war
isn't really about that. It's about politics, really, and that's

(25:05):
where Trump is at a disadvantage because he has things
like mid terms and like elections, whereas he just made
himself forever king of China and he doesn't have those
sort of the same forces at work that would inform
his decision making. Also, because the way the country's run,
he can whip any industry into shape immediately. He can
just say everybody's doing this or everybody's going to do this,

(25:27):
and they will fall inline immediately. He also is sitting
on three trillion dollars of surplus cash, so even if
these tariffs started to affect consumers or manufacturers, he can
be like, here, take this, he's that, he's that. Get
the prices, little poppy. We got this, we got this.
He can play the long game. We cannot. He could
do a great leap forward and still like be in
power in a couple of years, you know, like he's yeah,

(25:49):
so we you know, initially we're announcing fifty billion worth
of tariffs on China's clapped back immediately. But you know
that's not all China has in their like sort of
bag of tricks. They can stop operating on the North
Korea stuff. They could you know, sell some of our
debt off, you know, because they're one of the largest owners,
i think the largest owner of our debt, so they

(26:09):
have many ways to funk back with us. But you know, again,
they're a little bit more clever, and they're not just
about like sort of these like this verbose grandstanding that
Trump is about. And the other thing is that China
also understands what they're doing by studying our electoral maps
and saying, you know, let's turn the heat up on
districts that are Trump friendly or have very powerful Republican
congressman or senators in there. So then they can also

(26:32):
put pressure on the president because that will hurt them
as well. So you know, it's it's a little a
little tricky. Was like the Kentucky whiskey or whatever bourbon
where where mccon O'Connell is from, that will do it. Yeah,
and I think, uh is it think Harley Davidson Wisconsin? Yeah, yeah,
Ryan who ran saw that coming in. I'm not even

(26:55):
running anymore between that and but yeah, just remember like
this is no doubt a very complicated situation, but it's
one that the President got himself into while saying a
trade war is going to be very easy to trade
wars are very easy. So like this is the kind

(27:15):
of continuing problem is that he just cannot conceive it,
seems like and China has snipers. Yeah, and this new
confident Trump is I'm gonna do something with my chest out.
Then the world is going to respond to reality response,
and then we immediately have to fall back, like just
like today when everyone was like, what about you telling

(27:36):
Russia to prepare for missile? I did say win very soon.
It could be not very soon, and like okay, asshole,
like fucking everything is like yeah, trade war is easy
to win. And then like there's some blowback, Okay, can
we get back in t PP. Like I've heard Trump
supporters saying, ah, see, he's unpredictable, which likes to look

(27:57):
at it, and it can be good in like very
certain situations, but not just constant absolute chaos. That's the way.
That's the exact strategy that Nixon used to win Vietnam.
The Madman theories like, oh, we don't know is he
gonna do these things? I heard it compared to the
Madman theory. And even there they were like the Madman

(28:18):
theory was like a single isolated situation where he like
started acting radically and everyone's like, wait, what the funk,
Like this is crazy, whereas the baseline right now with
America and America's policy is just complete and utter cast
I think in a weird way that like it's the
opposite of Madman theory, where it's like Trump is so
predictable based on everything that they've seen on his tweets,

(28:41):
Like he's basically giving a like psychological evaluation of himself
based on his moods, and like they know exactly I
was going to react based on what is on Fox
and Friends that morning, right, And he's like, oh, they
just saw a caravan of Honduran's walking through and they
said that's bad. Guess what he is against now? Right? Uh?
I wonder you know, like we were talking We didn't

(29:02):
bring it up on the show, but Jackie were talking
about how like Facebook was able to like use posting
and likes to figure out if someone was going to
have like some kind of psychological episode. Like I feel
like Trump is as transparent that you could probably put
his tweets through some sort of algorithmic you know, analysis
or whatever and be like, oh, you can actually completely
fill out the profile because he is so transparent despite

(29:23):
this unpredictability quote unquote, he's just impulsive. Uh, and then
eventually has to like deal with a bunch of like
rational human beings been like, what the funk are you doing? Right? Well,
now that he's purging them, those would be like, yeah, dude,
that was sick, right. I Mean that is the thing
is that I think, you know, sixty pc of the

(29:44):
country is like, okay, this is predictably irrational, and then
a big portion of the country's like, see he's the man. Yeah,
he's like a fucking plastic bag in the wind. Man.
I don't know, I get him. Here's what I undersaid,
Like all of Trump's goods are made in China, Like
why doesn't China just say like, all right, well, like

(30:04):
we just don't make your goods anymore. Try making Well.
That's the thing. That's why Trump even these tariffs were
half asked, because if he was really want to do
it with his chest out, he could have put tariffs
on ship like shoes and clothing and trinkets, which are
like most of the majority of the products we have
in our fucking stores. Right, Oh, but you know, don't worry.
That would suck up Ivanka's business, right, So we can't

(30:25):
do that all the shoes, babe, you know, because we
can't suck up the family business. But we don't sell aluminum,
so exactly, I bet Like, yeah, for sure, if they
went after specifically IFA's goods or whatever, they just went
right there, yeah, those kinds of goods. Yeah, like you
know what actually We're going to at tax that ship
from the China side, Like, yeah, i' gonna do this.
So a slightly lower stakes but more cartoonish example of

(30:49):
Trump underestimating the intelligence of literally everyone around him, uh
and in this case being correct. Uh. So there's this
New York Post story that maybe moved like some of
the most copies that any New York Post headline has
ever moved, where Marla Maples, president Trump's former wife, one
of his former wife's mother, Tiffany, Tiffany's mother fun one

(31:12):
came out and said Trump is the best sex I've
ever had, And that was blasted across the front page
of the wildly conservative New York Post with the smug
asked Donald Trump. The cover is so funny because he's
just like, in big New York Post style best sex
ever had, and he's just grinning Trump next to it,
not even Marla Maples. Right. So apparently the editor from

(31:37):
that time has come out and said, you know, we
actually mostly thought that that was just Trump impersonating Marla Maples,
impersonating his wife, which is a thing that he's been
known to do. And actually I think we have audio
of him on a phone conversation with a different reporter

(31:59):
where he is playing the role of his spokesman, John Miller.
I think John Miller whatever, who was a recurring Trump
spokesman who nobody can find any record of existing. But
he would call up reporters and be like, yeah, I'm
John Miller. I want to talk to you on behalf
of Donald Trump. The best is that he doesn't even

(32:20):
try and do a voice. I mean, maybe he's trying
to do or in his head, but if you were
anyone who knew Donald Trump would be like, yeah, okay,
John Miller, how can I help you? So let's hear.
Let's hear some clips of John Miller talking to a reporter.
He gets called by everybody, get called by everybody. In
the book he jumped to women, he gets called by

(32:41):
a lot of people. Yeah, well what about Carlin ready?
How right now? I think I think it's somebody that
you know, she is beautiful, want to quickly and beautiful
and all. But I think that the people that you

(33:02):
write about it all to cleanly glow with him. And
I think that, I mean, he he has a girlfriend.
She lives in Canada, but she calls all the time.
She's beautiful, she's beautiful, she's a model. Yeah, man that
that time honored classic life from junior High. The girlfriend

(33:24):
in the other state. Yeah, so why did he get
away with this? Just doing voices? And uh, the New
York Post took him at his word. So the New
York Post is a conservative tabloid, and we're finding out
more and more that a big part of the Trump
methos is that he has good connections in the tabloid

(33:44):
in and that seems to be very similar to the
way that the New York Post got the quote for
their cover, right, because at the time, this is like
he was trying to divorce Ivana Trump. Uh, and she was,
I guess regularly like just owning him in the tabloid,
like in the calms War about their divorce. And so

(34:06):
one day, like something, something came out. He calls the
New York Posts like, editor, the New York Post, and
this is a quote. He says, those fucking bitches, I
want a front page story tomorrow. This is what they're saying.
It was an actual quote from him, and the editor
told him said, the only we can get on the
front page is if it has to do with sex, money,
murder and murdering something, not sex money in Central Park five. Yeah,

(34:28):
not the New York Blood Gang, uh, sex money murder,
but those three topics. So Trump said, oh, well, you know,
Marla says, I'm like the best sex she's ever had.
And the editor responded, well, do you have anyone that
can corroborate? And he so he's on the phone. He
just says, like, apparently this is how the conversation goes.
He goes, hey, Marla, tell him about how you always
say I'm the best at sex? Yes, Donald, did you

(34:50):
hear that? You see so she said that and you
should print that and like and retrospectively, they're like, yeah,
we always were a little dubious about who may have
been actually saying that on the back of the phone.
But you know, when he has to change the narrative,
he knows how to take his destiny into his own
hands and just create realities. He finds people even dumber

(35:10):
than him, right, gets them to report trash, yeah, or
who are prone to being friendly to people like him.
The New York Post is a conservative tabloid, and yeah,
that seems to be a big part of how the
Trump methos has been created from the start. And now
you know, running into his run for the presidency. We're

(35:34):
now finding out The New Yorker has just released a
report saying that the National Enquirer paid thirty dollars to
kill a story about Trump having an illegitimate kid. The
New Yorker hasn't uncovered anything saying that he did actually
have an illegitimate kid, just that the National Enquirer paid
thirty dollars for that story and then just buried it,

(35:58):
never published it. Um. And this is a big deal
because it establishes, you know, we've already seen that this
company would do this for Trump with other stories of
him having affairs. Uh, you know, they would do a
catch and kill where they pay, you know, eighty thousand
dollars for a story and then just completely kill it.

(36:20):
And this is, by the way, one of the most
frugal media companies out there. And they're just paying money
just to as in like they wouldn't throw money at
something if there wasn't a reason to bury it, asn't
like they're getting something more valuable from Donald Trump right
to keep this out of their magazine. And this particular story,

(36:41):
the thirty dollars paid to kill, the story about him
having an illegitimate child is significant because it establishes a
pattern of buying and burying stories that could be damaging
to the president during the campaign, which is against campaign.
I mean, if you believe fire and fury. Steve Van
was like, hey, Caswitz was like the fucking fixer man, Like,

(37:03):
what are there like a hundred women like that? I mean,
I hope that's an exaggeration, but who knows. I mean,
the way this fucking guy moves, I wouldn't put it
past them. It reminds me like in the Game of
Thrones story where like Robert Brathi and has like twenty
illegitimate children and and all the Lanisters are like just
trying to go around and kill all of them, still

(37:24):
killing the story, they go around and kill actual people
that might be this, like the heir to the throne
they don't know. Yeah, very similar. Better safe than sorry. Yeah,
I'm just doing that with with people who had information.
So I just want to read from the New York
or article because it's just interesting how this ties into
some of the stuff we've been talking about on a
section of our podcast. You wouldn't think would be this relevant,

(37:46):
but we do a blood watch Friday and where we
look at the what's on the front page of the
tabloids because people are looking at that, seeing that every
time they go to the grocery store. Uh, and you know,
there's wild ship being published on those front pages. And
it always seems to be about the Clintons doing bad

(38:07):
stuff for Obama, never about Trump. And that's because almost
all of those tabloids are owned by this company, American
Media Inc. They're kind of like the fake news before
it went to the Internet. It's like just the tabloid
news is just whatever makeup ship bad about someone exactly purpose. So,
two sources from American Media Inc. Said that they think

(38:31):
that the catch and Kill operations basically cemented a partnership
between Pecker, who's the head of am I, and Trump,
and that people close to President Trump had subsequently introduced
Pecker to potential sources of funding. And this ties back
to that random magazine tabloid about NBS Mohamed had been

(38:55):
Solomon Prince, Yeah, the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Suddenly
there was just in everybody's grocery store. I'le a giant
tabloid about how rad that dude was, and he welcome
to the Kingdom, y'all with no with no ads, no,
not an advertisement inside. Really yeah, that's that's rare for

(39:16):
any publication should raise a red flag, right, But one
of the am I sources told The New Yorker, Pecker
is not going to take thirty thou dollars from company
funds to shut down a potentially damaging story without making
sure it got back to him so he could get credit.
And then in two thousand seventeen, his company began acquiring
new publications, including US Weekly, a men's journal, And this

(39:38):
was right around the time that he started becoming friends
with MBS and publishing stories like friendly to MBS. So
they think that basically NBS helped him fund those purchases
of those new magazines. And it's all just a big
magazines get more press coverage. Yeah, so Trump, MBS, if

(39:59):
Mohammed and Salmon. You know, I'm I'm working a couple
of magazines too. Uh right, it's called getting high with
fidget spinners if you know, ads needed. But it's funny.
I mean, it's good to have someone like David Pecker.
You know. It's like when didn't Nike like scrub every
photo of a Rod's man boobs from his steroid induced
like guy kinmastia he got. You can't find a picture

(40:21):
of it on the internet anymore, Like it's very hard
to find like photos of a shirtless a Rod during
that time, because Nike was like no, no, no, no, no,
we do not need this out. Yeah, yeah, alright, We're
gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

(40:44):
we're back. Uh. Yeah, we were just talking about NBS
is a whole different storyline that will get to later on.
But he's this dude who was like swept to power
in Saudi Arabia and has interesting relationships with the Trump clan.
But he did Trump criminal empire, right, But he did
literally say that Kushner was quote in his pocket. That's all.

(41:07):
That's the kind of ship we're dealing with, and we'll
get into that later. Yeah. So what's going on in
the world of baseball, Miles? I mean, look, I wanted
to bring this story up because I'm really excited about
Shoho Tani, the Japanese baseball player who is fucking doing great,
uh and just really fun to watch because he's he
can pitch, he can hit, he's throwing triple digit fastballs,

(41:28):
and there was an article that just popped up and
wired about how the fastball is probably hit peak velocity
and probably has for the last eighty years, like no
one has actually thrown a ball faster than a certain amount.
And so they're saying that a decade ago, major League
pictures through a grand total of just triple digit fastballs
in a single season. Last year, forty pitchers collectively through

(41:50):
one thousand, seventeen triple digit fastballs in the season. And
so what they're saying is like, sure, we're seeing more
people being able to throw hundred plus a mile in
our fastballs, but the velocity hasn't changed. It's just the
number of people who have gotten to that level has
And because right now, I think the current recorded fastest
pitch I think it's from Eroldis Chapman, was like a

(42:11):
hundred and five back but they were saying that, you know,
like Nolan Ryan was actually the first pitcher to be
tracked by radar and his like fastball. I think the
fastest one they got was like a hundred point eight,
but back then they were measuring under one point eight
miles prow and back then they were measuring that was
the speed right before it crosses the plate, whereas like

(42:33):
Eroldis Chapman's was taken as it was leaving his hand.
So they were saying that if you sort of reverse
engineer this, those sort of numbers that Nolan Ryan might
have been throwing fastballs up upwards of one eight miles
per hour. And they said they're even pictures from the
fifties and twenties that they suspect I probably had the
same ability. So we're starting to see that our bodies

(42:53):
are reaching a certain I guess, peak level because and
I think the other thing they're doing is connecting this
like sort of a lot of the rain from fastball
pitching to the huge jump in number of Tommy John
surgeries people are getting. And if you don't know Tommy
John surgery is that's when attendant in your elbow tears
and your surgeons replace it with like a fresh one
from your wrist or your form or your hamstring, and
they do all kinds of ship to reinforce that. But

(43:16):
AP's not necessarily like making people faster pitchers, but it's
just giving that yeah, exactly, it's longevity. And they're saying,
because like the amount of torque you're putting on your
shoulder is like holding five twelve pound bowling balls like
sixty pounds, like at the its most intense moment, and
that just our bodies just you know, not go for it. Yeah,

(43:37):
so you can only throw a five ounce sphere about
a hundred five miles, which kind of bums me out
because I was always hoping, you know, people are running faster,
jumping higher. You'd think that logic would apply to baseball,
but it's interesting to see that way. Maybe there is
a limit to something like this. Yeah, I guess that's
what's interesting about baseball, or that's something baseball has that
the other sports don't, Like basketball and football have gotten

(44:00):
at her faster, stronger, like more visibly you know, impressive
just in our lifetime, Like you can see a change
from when Jordan was playing versus when Lebron was playing.
In fact, there's an amazing super cut did you see
that of like Jordan's playing against people and just the
shitty defense that he faced, and they're just like tooth

(44:21):
Lebron would fucking destroy these people because Jordan's like scoring
on like three white dudes who like look like me
like and are just you know, bastball players weren't the
physical Yeah, yeah, but baseball is, you know, And I
guess this is why people, you know, legislated the ship

(44:41):
out of the whole steroid thing is because baseball you
can basically watch somebody today and think about how he
compares statistically to the people who are playing in the twenties,
and you know, obviously they were working with a more
limited talent pool because there it was a white only
sport back then, but a bunch of white Fatty's right,

(45:03):
But what position do you play? I was outfield because
you know a lot of guys who are sucking up
their arms from trying to throw the heat. I mean
I threw out my arms several times, not like in
a way of tearing right right ligaments or anything like that,
but yeah, it's not a natural motion. Were definitely putting
undue strain on your ligaments because I've seen, like other

(45:24):
people there have been, like pitching coaches who are trying
to do other pitching motions that are less sort of
strenuous on your body. But look, I'm just still holding
out for some freak to be able to throw like
a hundred. Freak is going to be a cyborg, Yeah, exactly,
and then we're just playing bass wars, right, and this
is robots playing actually, and we're not even dealing with

(45:44):
humans if you guys don't think they're cyborgs. And the
MLB already you're fooling your Here we go, Mike Stanton,
I can't get I mean, John Carlos MLB is always watching.
Uh So I want to get into the Simpsons controversy
that is mostly over now. But so the Simpsons addressed
the complaint that Harry Condo Bolou had in the Problem

(46:08):
with a Pooh in a way that wasn't great because
the documentary is about sort of the portrayal of a
Pooh and sort of like the larger sort of cultural
ramifications of sort of representation like that, right, right, And
there's moments where different comedians, like I think a seasons
are and like a bunch of different comedians talk about
how they were called a Pooh on the playground growing up,

(46:30):
like it's a pooh was used to tease them, so
like that's the stereotypical version of your race, right exactly.
And so the Simpsons responded to this with this weird
like Lisa monologue about how like we can't judge things
from the past against like modern standards, and then like

(46:51):
stared at the camera for a moment. It was it
was very strange and totally insufficient. But something that I
didn't realize is that Hankers Area apparently claims that the
script for the first appearance of a Pooh suggested that
he should do like a cartoonish accent, like the most
exaggerated ethnic acts to like take it off of him.

(47:14):
And so back of Cracked, I interviewed two of the
original Simpsons writers about the olden days, and one of
their like fun stories about how you know things are
just found in the room and not the way you
planned it was that Mike Reese was the original writer
who John know you're saying you heard speak and yeah

(47:36):
he was. He was original staff writer of the Simpsons,
and he like I saw him speaking my freshman or
of college, Yeah about the Simpsons. It was very cool. Yeah,
And he as his bonus, got one percent of the Simpsons,
so he's doing all right. But he said that the
first appearance of a Pooh was in a script that
he wrote, and he specifically had the note do not

(47:57):
do an Indian accent for this seven eleven Guy Quick right,
quickie Mark, because that would be hacky and defensive. And
sure enough, during the table read, hankers Area did the
a poo that we know today and everyone laughed because
you know, that's just a cheap, easy laugh as ignorance, right,

(48:21):
And uh so, I don't know hankers Area trying to
pass the buck on that one. It seems like because
he is such a talented voice actor, he wanted to
showcase his range a little spin on it. You know,
it's otherwise just like a version of mo he was
gonna do. It's like if like Jim Carey got the
note just like this this pet detective you're playing, he's
like a very like Moblin classic noir detective. Who doesn't

(48:46):
He's like very secude. Yeah, so she's like, obviously this
guy is very serious about the pats. He's not racky
at all, just like what Yeah, And it's it's weird
because the Simpson's writing was so good. I think this
is like such a lame way to address a legitimate
grievance people have about the legacy of this character. Yeah,

(49:08):
and just be like political correctness, huh was essentially how
you could distill the response. Yeah, it was them shrugging
their shoulders, like whatever, that was the response. You're smart
enough to have a reasonable answer and maybe make laughs too,
and not just be like, yeah, shut up. It's a
complaint that like Dennis Miller would be on board with

(49:29):
PC police. Yeah. I think the only way that Simpsons
can make it up to us now is to end
fifteen years ago, get the abandoned time machine. And yes, exactly,
all the seasons after twelve are under executive privilege and
can no longer. Twelve year is twelve year line. I
would say, like, I mean I stopped watching or kind

(49:51):
of disengaged after like season eleven, and that's when Yeah,
and then I after two thousand. It's yeah, I have
it like in little bits of memories of other episodes,
but like I can quote everything I think up to eleven. Yeah,
the canon exactly seasons. Yeah, I still ride. I think
I go a little later than most people because really, yeah,

(50:12):
I think like thirteen, fourteen, twelve or good seasons. I
mean it's a slow program. I mean like they don't
like drop off the cliff immediately, but they just like
have less and less classic episodes. Well, a lot of
also coincides with like my drinking and drug use as
a kid too, because on Sundays I would be home
to watch The Simpsons and then like as season's twelve thirteen,

(50:32):
I'm out of school and I'm just doing whatever the
funk I wanted. So I wasn't like, hey, you gotta
be home on Sunday night, and that had a lot too,
and I wasn't cool. Good point Miles, all right, So
and then finally it just says sitting in like your
Simpson's Jammie's and the like, here we go Sunday, Hi
Simpson's my only friends. And then finally I just want

(50:56):
to go out on a study that came out about
why we haven't found aliens, why we haven't seen aliens
or you know, made official first contact. Uh. And the
theory is basically that they might be in a form
that we're not expecting, which isn't like that profound of that. Yeah. Well,

(51:21):
so one thing they did to sort of back up
this idea was they had people look at aerial maps
to try and like identify these different things on an
aerial map. But they also put like actual photographs of
guerrillas on the aerial map, like kind of small, but
you know, so plainly visible and because people weren't looking

(51:43):
for like a photograph, like nobody saw the guerrillas, And
so their idea is like, if the thing you see
is not what you're looking for, they call it inattentional blindness,
and they think that a similar phenomenon might be happening
with astronomers and the scientific community on a larger scale.
But you know, we have been talking about the fact

(52:05):
that they're all these examples of UFOs that haven't been
explained that you know, there used to be a part
of the Pentagon that was dedicated to kind of investigating them,
and that department stopped getting funding and now they're like
their own organization basically the Private X Files and by

(52:27):
Tom DeLong right and weirdly partially funded by Tom DeLong
from link one two. But um, yeah, I don't know.
I think it could be a combination thing like we
have seen these weird things, like the the thing that, uh,
the most compelling video that we saw was of a
tic tac shaped thing just like speeding across the horizon,

(52:49):
and these pilots are like what the like, nothing can
move at that speed and the way that that's moving.
So I mean they saw it. But I mean if
something is moving in a way that like nothing we've
ever seen could move, then you know it could be
around us, and you know the rest of us might
not be the angels in the outfield r wow, yes,

(53:11):
go on, yeah, I mean, like no one could see
them except for like the people who are you know
in tune. You think that's why the Sixers are doing
so well. Definitely got around. Yeah, that's all the process
that we're trusting. I think they're wearing a cursed pair
of sneakers. I think Ben Simon test like like like Mike, Yeah,
those O g might just also happen to make him

(53:32):
seven one a seven one point guard. I guess that helps.
But yeah, I mean the Aliens, it's more than UFOs.
I hope that it's just China and Russia are so
ahead of us and that's how dumb we are. Or
it's Wakonda yeah or Wakonda okay, whoa John Oh okay, wait,
wait to get me on board this theory, but either one.

(53:53):
I almost prefer that it's America is so far behind technology.
I mean, like the bullet trains that like they have
in Asia are vastly superior to our amtrack. Yeah, as
you can tell, you know. And I think also it's
a function of us not wanting to spend money to
like implement this kind of technology, you know what it's like.
I would actually think that like technology would be the
way to detect him, like that you're talk him like

(54:14):
if you're not looking for it, you're not gonna go
to see it. I think the most famous example I've
heard of that is like when Columbus sailed to America
or the West Indies, Like no one on those islands
would have even thought to look for something on the horizon,
so they didn't even see him coming until he was
on their island, right, and and so the like if

(54:34):
if Americans are whoever humans are looking for aliens using
their playing eyeballs and what they assume would be the thing,
you're not can do it. But if you put AI
in charge of finding aliens, exactly he's gonna cross him over.
They'll be so intimidated they'll go right back to wherever
they came from, right back to Virginia. Yeah. So it
would be something like where you have to put a
computer programs like any anomaly, and that they the computer

(54:56):
would find the little Gorilla essentially in the skyline. Yeah,
we're gonna have to trust skynet is, like if we
put the AI in charge of it, like they'll just
team up with the aliens to treat us like our
two greatest enemies. I know what you're up to, Indiens,
but look, I gotta deal for you. Why don't we
team up and fun these idiot humans up? Boom collusion? Yeah,

(55:18):
there it is alien conclusion. It looks like the study
was conducted by every stoned college freshman. Ever, what if
they're like not even people, man, because you're like a
gas bro like humanoids bro just waves, man, Hey did
you see did you see a rival? Did you think
those anis looked whack or cool? You know what I mean?

(55:40):
I thought they were cool because it's not like what
I thought they I did not expect them to be.
Jodie Fosters, well even even like the planet Earth thing,
like they use so many like different drones to film
these animals and like animals don't know that we're there
right right exactly. Yeah, that's interesting because the way they
get them used to it is like from birth, the
animal is like have this annoying loud like motor next

(56:02):
to that. Maybe they like, maybe we were all born
next to aliens, like, and they just got us accustomed
to seeing them. Who maybe if they throw over a
hundred five miles per hour, that's how we tell. Yeah,
Tony's definitely an alien, right, we can all agree. I
mean the way the I n S looks at him. Yes,

(56:24):
that's right, John. Oh, it has been a pleasure as
always having you. Where can people find you? On Twitter?
At Johno's lay then pretty much at John's lay on
every form of social media if you haven't deleted it yet. Um,
but yeah, pretty easy to find in general because of
my ridiculous name. Yes, wonderful j O n O. And

(56:47):
I should have said this up top of people might
have seen you, uh, I guess earlier this year when
you went viral uh for your driver's license pictures. The
most press I've ever had, which is very much an
indictment of my career and society. Yeah. I have a
driver's license running gag with the d m V where
I just do characters every time I get a new

(57:07):
driver's license, And this time I dyed my hair or
bleached it and then also did the tips bright red
and then put them into double mohawk, so I looked
very much like the lead singer of the Prodigy and
then had like several accessories like a dog collar with
spikes on it and fake ear ring and the nose
rings and dangly stuff. So, yeah, it's online. You can
google d m V driver, driver's license, troll whatever anything

(57:31):
like that. You'll find it. Yeah, you can see all
the silly pictures I've had as a on my government identification.
And I'm sure this is like the question good Morning
America would ask you, But like, have you ever like
been pulled over and the cop looks at it? And oh, yeah,
I mean like anytime. What I've noticed in my this
is like a field field study of like how people
look at I d S. Like most people like at

(57:53):
a bar when they check my d don't even look
at my picture. They look at the date and to
see that like yeah, you're over twenty one and whatever. Um.
People that are actually like it's their job to verify
that this is you, like t s A uh, cops
stuff like that. They will definitely double take, right, they will,
like most of them have like a pretty decent sense
of humor about it. Actually, but there's the occasional like

(58:16):
let me see a second form of I D scrutiny,
like who is this asshole? Yeah, because right now you've
got like a pretty like normal looking on. You got
the mustache rocking, and they're like, I'm sorry, I did
have to have like blonde tips for too long that
I was comfortable with. So this is actually like died
back brown natural brown hair. But I had to use
like it just for men because I just had too

(58:39):
many just for men. This show is not brought to
you by just for men also, but unless you work
for them, you want to yes, unless you want to
slide this one dollars, I'm ready. I'm not just a client.
I'm an advertiser. Yes, Miles, where can people find you?
You can find me actually on a new episode of

(59:41):
are we gonna ride out on? You know? Look, you know,
I don't assume that everyone that listens to the dailies,
like guyst knows about hip hop and knows about the
songs you must know. But if you dig the music,
you're gonna dig. Today's suggestion based off the a K
I got today run in by the Far Side. Now.
Far Side is one of the great rap group from
the West Coast, and you know they've had some great

(01:00:02):
production over the years. This in particular, you know a
lot of people know them for Umo she gives a minute,
but this is more of like a deep cut. This
is the Far Side running produced by Jay Dilla, and
one of the reasons I also bring this up is
because I love sample based hip hop and I love
Brazilian music. I like you know, Bossa Nova and all that,

(01:00:26):
and this is just also samples A great stand gets
track uh from back in the day, which is called
South Dodge Vimicle Handle, and yes you can particulate on
my Portuguese but yes we will also link to that
track too, because guys, a lot of this music is
always has its roots back to even greater music, So
please enjoy. All right, we're gonna write out on that.

(01:00:48):

(01:01:29):
I must have been on some attage and some without
like a punk at a chump or a sucker or
something to that attack. Respect thank you should never get
because all I got what I'm said when nick Its
used to be like something and trying to sweat the
nigger like the left for no reason, that's all I canry.
Corker piggers what was easy in my face down the
hall of kicking it in the back of the schooling
and chicken at three when it was Why is everybody
always kicking on me. I tried to talk and tell

(01:01:51):
me until I did nothing to dessert because but when
it didn't work up with the skin, just real nervous
and I'm prepared to deal with scribbing no down. But
Babby Devil told me how to knock a day the
hour that we're not in propable surviving to mental hug

I lit the bulls blue in the breeze. In other words,
just the breeze again, digg it's nineteen ninety five, and

(01:03:48):
that I hold the stretched place on my shoulders heavy
