been traveling. Yeah, we've both been traveling. We've been we've
been hopping around. Yeah. The best place you you've been

(01:26):
on your on your travel? Where have you been? I've
been in London, I've been in Los Angeles a bit
here and there. Yeah, you've been to London to visit
the Queen. That is a children's book that you get
not familiar with. But that's cool. How was London? What's

(01:49):
what's going on over in London? It was really cool.
I was shooting a pilot there, but I hadn't been.
I don't even in London one other time, like many
many years ago, and it was cool to go after
COVID and everything and see see what's going on over there?
Very cool. I had some fish and chips and some
mashed piece. Do you have Bangers in Mash? Is that

(02:12):
that's London? Right? Yeah, Vengas Mash. I didn't get to
the Bangers and Mash, but um I am a fan
of the Bangers and Mash the best. Did you play
a British British? No? I played myself. Unfortunately. I wish
I was playing a British. Yeah, that would have been
better and more fun. I mean, you're a natural. You're

(02:35):
a natural British and Jamie you you were out and
about hitting the road. What's what's new out there on
the stages of America anything? Oh it's the same old ship,
I tell you what. But in a good way, in
a nice way. I went to Boston and New York.
In Philadelphia, I had like a hot dog in Philadelphia

(02:58):
that I was really wanting to it the morning after
a show, and it's like everything, it was perfect, Like
the morning after a show. I woke up just in time.
My friend gave me a ride and we got a
hot dog that had a fishcake on top of it
on purpose. It wasn't even a missai. Yeah. That was

(03:19):
because I've been trying to get the hot dogs everywhere where.
You can't get it anywhere else, you know, like they're like, oh,
this is uniquely this city's bad idea, And speaking was,
you can get beans on hot dogs in a lot
of places. I've been eating bean hot dogs. Yeah, beans
like chili. There is like chili beans. But there's also

(03:40):
just like in the Southwest, they just like do regular
like canned beans or fried beans, like baked beans or Yeah,
I mean, I guess that makes sense. It's really good.
It's really good. I'm still in the hot dog hole,
but yeah, I had a fish cake on a hot dog,
and I think that I feel comfortable saying that was

(04:01):
that was close to the highlight. Wow, I love the
hot dog. Like you, Jamie, I'm a hot dog freak. Also,
where's your what's your favorite? What's your favorite? Well, I
think for no salage of purposes, I'll I like a
Costco hot dog. Have you ever had a Costcal hot dog?

(04:21):
They're really good. Yeah. I used to badger the hell
out of my mom to get me one when I
was a child, A company like her on the shopping trip,
there's like they're like a dollar fifty and they're still
like one of the best on the I feel like
I've paid twelve dollar. I've paid more than twelve dollars
for a hot dog and it's not been as good

(04:42):
as a Costco hot dog. Yeah, shout out to coastical
hot dogs. You're really holding it down where I'd say,
like thirty years or hot however long Costco has been
open uninterrupted. Yeah. Yeah, didn't Their CEO threatened to resign
if they like raised the price on the hot dog
or something. Oh my god. You never hear about that

(05:03):
sort of integrity these days. Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's
made up, like by a CEO, like PR firm of
some sort. But I heard something. This is this is
a CEO story that's sad, and I don't remember the
whole thing, so I don't know why I started the sentence.
But there was something really sad that happened with the
CEO of Texas Roadhouse. Someone should look into that. That

(05:26):
sound it's like, okay, that sounds like it's like a
clue that, like a killer would give to the police.
Like Mr Policeman, I gave you all the clues Google
ceo Texas Roadhouse. Something sad happened. I don't remember anyways,
neither here nor there. What is something from your search history? Um?

(05:50):
King sized pillows, king sized? Just looking for some different pillows,
you know. And then this is the thing I've since
I've in the last few months have been very i
guess domestic and like looking to revamp things. So I'm
looking for pillows, I'm looking for sheets, I'm looking for comforters. Damn,

(06:14):
you didn't have any of those things before this past month.
You gotta get But you know what if you have
like a king size pillowcase with a queen pillow, that's
fucked up. Okay, no one will respect you. Just thirty
four year old woman makes for a good weapon and
a pillow fight, but otherwise not good. You could suffocate
all that extra fabric you gets stuck in your mouth
and then you die. Yeah. I do have a tendency

(06:36):
to chew my pillow. Just start um, looked at a pillow. Okay,
this is for a lot of I had a boyfriend.
It's men. I'm gonna say, man his pillow. Like I
remember changing the sheets one time. The pillow I didn't
understand how it had become. The whole thing was brown. Yeah,
all of it. M like, have you ever looked your

(07:00):
pillows like out of the pillow case. It's a nightmare. Yeah.
I mean I remember growing up because like I feel
like my first pillows as like a kid were like
probably like my dad's from when he was in college
or something, so like you know, like pillows. I just
feel like we're in a thing I bought my my family,
Like we had like a set number of pillows from
the past generations that we accumulated and all the time

(07:22):
I'd be like when you take them off, I was
be like, I'm like, Mom, don't have to watch the
She's like there, put the case on it. You just
don't ever look at it again. I just remember being
like it was gross. It felt greasy. I was like,
what it's going on with this pillow? It's yeah, my
pillows look like a fucking murder scene. Yeah, it's like
how did you get there? I don't know. I don't

(07:45):
know how it happens. But there's like orange, rusty like
coming out of my head at night And what are
you doing at night? Do you like sleep your pillows
like I do? But like that's still you. Yeah, so
it shouldn't. Yeah, I don't know. It's it's really it's
really hard to understand. But yeah, I don't know. I

(08:06):
guess you just have to walk. I think all that
to say is you got to really make sure you
wash any parts that can be washed. Like there's a
case on it, there's like there's a thin fabric over
it that will protect the rest of it. That would
be a good like somebody needs to do just a
scientific mysteries of everyday life and like what is leaking
out of your head at night? Guys? Would be a good,

(08:30):
good episode. But but it passes through the case unscathed.
It's fine with the case, and then it's just a nightmare.
I think I drool. I think that that might be
part of it, you know, And I usually have like
a candy bar in my mouth while I'm going to sleep,
so that probably has something. Sorry, I hide my candies.

(08:52):
I forget it all right, secretly you just suck it
through the pillow case so no one knows, no one.
Ranchers just stick to the inside. I feel like, man,
I think I had like melted Jolly ranchers all over
my bedroom when I was a kid, because I would yeah, wait,

(09:15):
what do you mean you like like like like that,
like the Feds were coming and you're like, yo, you
gotta fucking stash these or you would like to lick
them and then like forget them, maybe look them and
forget him. I just remember finding a bunch of baseball
cards that were refused together by like a melted Jolly rancher.
Like that was just in the back of like my bookshelf. Again,
don't have any recollection, but that kind of defines my life.

(09:39):
I remember a grand total of probably like two hours
of my life, and everything else is just a black hole.
So and Simpsons references that you keep mistaken exactly what
is uh? What's something you think is overrated? Being paranoid
about buying fake shit? Like I think it's partially because

(10:01):
specifically the Chinese people I hang out with have started
to come into a little money, so their asses are
all buying rolexes and ship and I'm not there, and
I I suspect I'm even if I could kind of
afford it would not be that type of person. So
what I did do I'm wearing it right now, really
happy with it. I got a reissue that is possibly

(10:21):
fake from Ali Baba of like the Communist military Chinese Watch,
and it is like like it was like a hundred
eighty dollars. It arrived in like the most like literally
like it arrived in a plastic box that then looked
like it was just like wrapped in basically paper towels

(10:42):
and then like like a child had like used like
clear plastic tape, like it looked like I guess it
looks It looked most like a sort of like if
I had to design an I e ed and I
had ten minutes to do it. So I was like, ship,
what what what do I have around? Like bomb maker? Yeah? Yeah?
It was like so yeah, but you know it arrived

(11:04):
and then I was like, man, I don't did did
I buy this from Ali Baba? Did I get ripped off,
and I was like, who gives a fuck? I'm down.
I am now not that Ali Baba is less evil
than like Amazon, but it's sort of like differently evil.
That's another market place. I was gonna say, you know,
I'm I look at replica watches one eighties. Sounds like

(11:26):
a lot off there. Did you look d H Game?
Did you check out? Way? So it might be real?
Is the thing because they're telling you you're buying like
a like a the genuine article rather than yeah. So,
so the thing is the genuine article. This is for
anyone that gives a fuck. This is the Seagull nineteen
sixty three chronometer. And even the genuine article is arguably

(11:49):
a fake because it's like the factory. Yeah, so the
factory in Tangent in the sixties fifties like either stole
the design or licensed it from It's like a Swiss
design that they kind of stole. I'm not really clear
on all the details. Anyway, It's like bootlegs on top
of bootlegs. I am embracing the Chinese nous of it

(12:12):
something about it in general, I think, you know, with
like replica of fashion, like you know, knockoffs, becoming like
a whole other level like versus like when we were kids,
and it's like what's on Canal Street or like the
alley like ship now is like people are getting away
with selling it on stock X, which is supposed to
be thousands of dollars shoes that are replicas that are

(12:33):
made abroad, And like, I just like how it up,
Like the outrage that it inspires in people who insist
on paying like thousands of dollars for something. We're like, oh,
that's fake, dude. Like I'm like you don't, Like you're
a kid and your whole value system is based on
buying a thousand dollar pair of shoes, Like I hope
your brain melts down when you see about these for

(12:55):
a hundred. Well, and it is like what is the utility?
It is the same thing with like fucking NF tease right,
like what is the actual utility of ownership of a
thing with only aesthetic value? Like I'm like, I don't
need a watch to tell the time. In fact I did.
I did like the most actually pathological thing in the
movie Theater the other day, which is I used my

(13:17):
phone to illuminate my watch hands so I could Sorry,
is straight up broken. I gotta see how much longer
is left in this movie? Which movie that it was?
It was French Dispatch, Okay, I can't ship. Yeah anyway,

(13:39):
embrace embrace the fakes, y'all. Yeah, it's an idea that
like should have like found it's time. It makes total sense,
but I just feel like it's too like the idea
of just reps replacing, like becoming the thing that matters,
Like I just can't. It's too like damage to the

(14:00):
foundational like ethos of our country that I feel like
they're gonna pay. Yeah, well that's why I was like, yeah,
it's also like ripping off the communist designed I'm like,
all right, the other thing with the other I will say,
the other option with this watch that this company, Seagull Cells,
they were selling a like watch. I think my Chinese

(14:20):
is not good enough. It would have taken me forever
to actually read all the Chinese. But it appeared to
be commemorating the partitioning of Korea. It was like it
was like thet parallel celebration anti US watch. Yeah, it's
like it was like that's like probably a bridge too
far for me to buy. But right, it was very intense. Yeah,

(14:44):
anything that would outrage rich people, I think it's great.
You know, yeah, this one was. I was like, I
think my South Korean friends would be like, that's kind
of funked up, okay, But I mean I think of
even like because you look at Gucci and stuff, their
designs are starting to mimic what a knockoff would be,
like a lot of their hoodies now, like with the
sort of crude screenprint design and like throwback aesthetic, like

(15:07):
they're sort of echoing the pirated material. Wasn't that the
story of the Big Polo? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think so.
And but it's also funny to see people like who
are like man like get so heated about someone who
paid seventy dollars for the thing that looks exactly like
their thousand dollar thing. And I'm because they need their exclusivity. Yeah,

(15:28):
And I'm like, that's anset baby challenge that ship more
be like I don't give a funk. Yeah, I'm I'm
in horrifically fake Versachi. It doesn't mean anything, right, what
is something you think is underrated? That is a great
question and a little out of left field, just not

(15:48):
see that one comes. But I guess if I had
to say something, I would say baby names. Okay, baby names,
this isn't this is no easy. Feet took us three
days in the hospital before before we decided. Yeah, he
was nameless for three days. Now. My approach coming with

(16:13):
the name Nick is that I don't want to name that.
Three fifths of my best friends have also sure, I
mean it is bonkers. Shout out to Nick Radarrot and
Nick Rutherford. Who are those guys in my inner circle?
And it is insane that there's so many of us.

(16:35):
And I don't want that for my kid, right, yeah. Yeah.
And we also thought that Tennessee was pretty cool and
it would be nice and a literate if Tennessee Turner.
You know, but that's that hits too hard, that's too
good of a name. Yeah, stick that in the middle
and they it's an option. Yeah if he if he
wins a Grammy, then he can start using it. If

(16:57):
he's a college football star like that, yeah, yeah, don't
gender my baby. He could be a show horse. It
sounds like a Yeah. That name all sounds like a
turn of the century, like baseball pitcher Tennessee Turner, Oh,
I mean, or a baseball pitch like a throwing the

(17:20):
Tennessee Turner. Yeah yeah, pitch yeah. Or a pool shark
yeah yeah, absolutely, a pull shark. It's no, it's no joke.
That name like that. When you don't have a name
and the baby's out, is h's real? Real process check? Yeah,
people really get upset. It's like, you know, you thought

(17:42):
people cared about what the gender was, but once they
confirm what the gender is, then they come hard with
what is that goddamn baby's name? Tell me now it
matters how much does it want? What's its name? I
need this, Yester, my guest yesterday, you don't have a
fucking name. I'm calling CPS. Everybody at the hospital. It's

(18:05):
the first thing they ask because they like write the
baby's name down stuff. And so you go in and
they're like, what's the name? Every person? We don't know
and they go, oh, you're waiting to find out what
it looks like you're gonna you're waiting to see the baby. Yeah, like,
absolutely not. I'm not w to come up with a
good name. Who would do that? You don't look at

(18:27):
a baby and it's like, yep, that's a jack. It's
just a baby, doesn't look like a jack. A baby
looks like another baby, baby looks like baby. If you
had to give you the name, if you waited, yeah,
you'd be like, oh tiny grandpa. Most of the kids
would just be bag of mayonnaise. Yeah, yeah, you got nothing.
But we went with otis, which is great because we

(18:49):
looked up what it meant and what and made sure
it wasn't any lists. Mhm right, that's what we we had,
Liam locked and did for our first for the first
like five years of our marriage, and then once we
started thinking about having kids, we looked at a name
list and it had been like the number one name

(19:10):
and still remains the number one name. Yeah, it's still
the number one name. The Liam Neeson affection is strong.
I guess, I don't know, yeah Gallagher, yeah probably. Yeah.
I want a baby who can find me if I
get taken. You're about to be taken, daddy, someone who

(19:33):
knows that a Champagne supernova is yes, thank you um.
And then, of course, as soon as I posted the name,
a friend of mine texted me to say that her
she had named for baby artists like moments before, no,
no years, a couple of years ago. But you just
weren't up on it. I just forgot her. Do you

(19:54):
know whatever, baby, you know, it goes out in my head.
I don't care until it's related to me. Yeah, exactly,
Well you nailed it, So congratulations. Did you have a
committee like I had my It was my wife, my
sister and I were the only people who I was
really letting in on the naming process on the second one,

(20:14):
who we didn't have a name for for the first
couple of days. But like that's what that's how you
know you trust somebody is when it's like, all right,
I'm gonna I'm gonna let you in the writer's room
on this baby's name. I wouldn't even tell anyone like
what we were thinking about, Yeah, just because I don't
want anyone's negative opinion. I don't want to see your
face because it doesn't matter, you know. And there's no

(20:38):
good names. None of them makes sense. And so yeah,
we had no committee. We just at that final day
we were like, the hospital is like you have to
name him by this day or else or is gonna
be way more paperwork? Yeah, you can't and it can't
be untitled. How does it feel? Angelo? Okay, fine, give

(21:00):
me another form then Brown Sugar. All right, let's take
a quick break and we'll be right back to talk
about some news. And we're back. And there was a
horrible tragedy over the weekend at Travis Scott's Astro World

(21:23):
Music Festival during a Travis Scott performance, which are kind
of known for the crowd just going off. I've seen
many a video that made it look just out of
control in a very fun way. And yeah, but this
is just the kind of timeline on this like makes
no sense, is really horrifying. You hear about this ship

(21:45):
a lot, just in like soccer and like in other countries,
just anytime there's like a big, big crowd gathered, and
it's very like counterintuitive the way it works, so like
you don't it's not like one violent like rush where
people are like trampled underneath people's feet. It's it happened
slowly and like people too behind. You don't realize that

(22:06):
they're crushing you. It's it's right, I mean, yeah, you
look at what happened. Eight people passed away with hundreds
of injured. You know they're teenagers who were among the
people that lost their lives, and you know from from
the way people describe it like the real trouble started,
you know, like in the earlier in the day, like
a bunch of people rushed the v I p entrance

(22:27):
and like they just security just couldn't handle it, and like,
you know, people are like, that's not a huge that's
not nothing new. You know, people are always gonna rush
fed gates at a festivals because that's the time honored
tradition of being a young broke kid and that in
getting that thrill in. But then it's like the show,
the festival went on and Travis was about to go on,
there was like a thirty minute countdown graphic that came

(22:47):
on the screen, and that's when people started to move
closer to the front of the stage. And it wasn't
quite like getting to the terrible point at that point,
but that was sort of what began this like movement
towards the stage. And then about thirty five minutes into
him performing, the crush became so much that there were
people that were passed out. They were trying to figure
out if some had actually had succumbed to their injuries,

(23:10):
and authorities had called categorized it as a mass casualty
event and there were moments where you could see Travis
was like in between songs might say hey, can you
help this person? Or people you could hear the crowd
saying stop the show. But with the size of the
crowd and the music and things like that, just nothing
apparently was happening. And the concert went on until ten fifteen,

(23:32):
and at that point, you know, the worst of it
had happened. People were trampled, people had you know, died
from a number of different causes, probably from this rush
of people. But now I think a lot of the
focus is really turning on like what happened and how
could that happen? Because I think at most I've I've
been to shows. A lot of people have been to
shows where there's huge crowds, and you will hear sometimes hey,

(23:55):
like kind of take a couple of steps back, like
we want to make sure it's safe for things like that,
or like you're saying, like in England with the Hillsborough
disaster where people died, that completely changed even how football
matches were even you know, being secured, or how they
even thought of crowd movements and things like that. And
now it just seems like a lot of finger pointing,

(24:16):
not knowing who to quite blame. There's already two lawsuits
being filed against like Live Nation, Travis Scott. I think
one even names Drake because when he came on, like
a lot of people moved forward to So I'm not
sure what the benefit of those lawsuits are more than
like really understanding like where things went wrong, because most
of them, you know, a show like that with that

(24:36):
many people, there's typically contingency plans in place to keep
people safe, and I think that's where a lot of
the you know, the question marks around were there enough
security people, how prepared were was the production to actually
stop the show if things got bad enough? And who
knew what when? Because at this point, you know, there's
just a lot of like I didn't realize it was
that bad kind of stuff coming out of people like

(24:58):
Travis Scott, and the fact that they said the words
mass casualty event at and the show didn't end until
ten fifteen, like like just turn the fucking lights on,
Like go up on stage and talk to Travis Scott
and be like hey, And you know, there's a lot
there's video clips of people climbing like the camera towers

(25:18):
to plead with the camera operators to talk to someone
and say like there are people who were severely injured,
or you know, there were there were ambulances that were
trying to make their way through the crowd, but these
these concert peak coalers are so turned up they like
hopped on the ambulance and kept it from getting to
the people that were in need. And you know, at
this point, you know, Travis Scott, I think a lot

(25:39):
of people have seen he posted like an apology video
that many were like, this feels so like your publicists,
your crisis PR team just like told you to read this.
It felt I don't know whatever. He's probably in shock too,
but he's like, at the very least, he's like, well,
we'll refund everyone's tickets. He says he's going to be
paying for any related costs for funerals for these eight people,

(26:02):
and also like offering mental health support for any of
the festival attendees for you know, having to endure such
a horrible event. But I think, you know, I think
the thing that's very clear is there weren't enough people
doing the right thing in terms of how the event
was produced to prevent this. I heard that the security
was really low as well, so there just wasn't enough

(26:25):
people to just even like pull people out of the
crowd if they had to. And I saw something about
did they have this this center like the split down
the middle. It looked like they had it's set up,
like you know, to have like those channels for security
to like move through the crowd, like the pens that
they set up. Is that is that something that's usually
done for safety or like two of well, because then

(26:47):
they can the security can monitor better and you have
more exit access points. Yeah, and you can let people
into those areas to to like relieve the flow of
people just to kind of you know, it's all fluid
dynamics of like where people are moving and where the
pressure is, because it's it's really underestimated how powerful these
kind of crowd movements are, Like it can bend like

(27:09):
steel can be bent from just people moving like this
and one one massive you know body. But yeah, I
I the a lot of like just reading like the
accounts of the people were there. It's just like so
many people were there to go have fun and just
due to the negligence of and lack of I think
proper protocols, it ends like this and it was wild.

(27:33):
I read an article in like the Houston Chronicle where
there were two veteran like they, as they described in
the article to veteran concert concert promoters and producers who
do a lot of big shows in Texas. They said
they had some ideas about what may have gone wrong,
but they did not want to speak on the record
out of fear of retribution from Live Nation because they're
the largest producer of live events. So it was weird

(27:55):
that they even put that in the article. But I
think that's something that also needs to be really addressed
to where even that this this thing is so big
too that there are people who like they might not
do everything the best way, or there's things that could
have been done better. They didn't even want to give
that analysis to be like, that could fuck my whole
career up. So yeah, ultimately, I feel like a lot

(28:16):
of the attention is being paid to the artists, and like,
really it comes down to the producers and the company
that's in control of planning the fucking thing. Yeah, I
think suing the artist isn't really going to do anything.
It should be Live Nation and yeah, because I mean,
unless they can prove some negligence where Travis Scott has

(28:38):
an earpiece and they're saying, hey, you gotta stop or whatever,
and he's ignore it. Takes his earpips out and he's
ignoring it. And that's one thing. But even then, you'd
hope that there are people like he's not the be
all end all with who decides what's happening when he
doesn't have all of the facts, Like you think there's
someone at the highest level to say, Nope, cut the
cut the fucking monitors, cut the speakers, put the security briefed,

(29:00):
put the security notices on all the screens, but all
the security announcements through the audio. There's no more music.
But I think just right now, just a lot of
people trying to, you know, just move through the strategedy.
So I'm sure it's going to be an ongoing thing. Yeah, Well,
while we're down here in Texas, let's check in with
the folks from Q and on, because we did talk

(29:20):
ahead of JFK Jr's appearance Indily Plaza, the site of
his father's assassination, where he became president and then stepped
down in order to restore Trump as the one true God.
I don't think that happened. I don't think so, like
I do. I like googled it right before we started recording,
and there wasn't anything about it, and I feel like

(29:40):
that would have made news back yet Yeah, I know.
But so apparently a lot of a lot of the
Q folks have remained in Dallas. They've been returning to
Deely to stand in Q formation. Is that an actual thing?
Like a guy, this dude like my cool Prosiman. He's

(30:01):
like one of the people who was the main sort
of Q and on influencers, who got people, you know,
real excited about this idea of him coming back. He
had them like when you know, I think the run
of shows sort of like yeah, JFK JR. Tuesday Night,
and then when that didn't happens, like all right, let's
do some other fun stuff real quick. And so I
got you guys, have queue for you guys stand in
the queue. Maybe that'll work now standing a que interesting.

(30:24):
It's like, um, it's like when you know you get
that like free vacation, but then you have to sit
for like four hours as they try to sell you
a time share time all we're here excited to see
JFK JR. But what then get to that share, who
you're who's your about to be retired right because we

(30:44):
can talk there's I'm just telling you the flexibility that's
offered by buying into here. I sat through one of those,
by the way, for a free jet ski rental and
free tequila that didn't work. Free. I have a time
share that's actually been really great, and I need some investors.
Few guys are interested, no, but I just like it

(31:05):
was one of the more obnoxious four hours of my life.
God for just tequiling a jet ski. Yeah. Yeah, that
hundred bucks you could that's your life. You just gave
away that planet. That's me, that's on me. Um. But yeah.
Like another thing that people were kind of documenting what
they were doing in Dallas over the week. At another
point there was this video where people lined up to

(31:28):
talk to a guy with like a fucking parrot on
his shoulder and like they were single file and a
guy kept telling him to look at this thing and
they turned around and like apparently there was something to
do with like they saw a triangle in something like
from a building near where Oswald may have been. So
they're like, oh, see that's the Illuminati, because you know
they put pyramids wherever they kill people and like so

(31:48):
that was I guess an activity and then fell asleep.
What were you saying, is that activity where people died?
Hold on? Hold on, because actually that's every historic tour over.
I guess it is interesting. I've actually done the daily
plose A tour. So it's interesting because like there there's

(32:10):
the like JFK Jr. Was JFK was assassinated here museum.
But then there's just like all these conspirations, like there's
literally like a shack down there where that that has
like all these conspiracy theory like the Document Museum in
Santa cru Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like it's like a
bard of body with some pictures and it's a museum. Okay,

(32:30):
get in here. But the thing is, despite the sad
ship going on with you know, JFK fucking not showing
up and zombie formed to restore Trump to power, this
guy props him and he's like, I've got I've got
some real news for you man. The thing was he
kind of got cold feet because because let me tell you,

(32:52):
because you're at the Rolling Stones concert and guess who
was fucking at the Rolling Stones concert in suck in Dallas.
I'm gonna play a clip of these people talking. They
got a fucking hotel like conference room at the hotel
they're staying. I just to kind of like talk like
yell into a microphone and applaud each other about nonsense.

(33:12):
Just listen to this because if just listening, I'm a
little worried that I'm going to listen to this and
be totally converted to the que thing because everything you've
mentioned sounds very convincing, and I mean found a new
conspiracy theory. I really like about how the sun's not real. Really,

(33:34):
it's just a bunch of reflectors and led life go on.
That's the sun. It's not real. It's in the middle
of the night. They took the sun away and they
replaced it with l d um. So these are two clips.
Unfortunately you can't get the one continuous flip because he

(33:56):
gets like he gets cut off mid sentence. But we'll
continue in the next clip because he's talked about, you know,
the people who went to the Rolling Stones concert. They
saw a few people who you thought were dead, and
they were fucking there. Smile. This one just said Prince
was on drums. So Michael Jackson Michael Jackson was Mick Jagger.

(34:17):
Keith Richards was John Johnsman, John Kenyk Junior, Jfkin Junior
on four team trump Card one four team Elvina. That's
what I said, is getting good. I will continue Bloomer Fantasy.

(34:39):
And Elvis was what Elvis on keyboard people going famous
keyboard player Elvis. Yeah, Prince drums. Okay, you already said no,
and he's up. Harris being played by a Leah was

(35:01):
the backup singer that watched right down the runway, always
up front. It was features in the show. In the
song Evil, it's only a shot away, It's only a show.
It's okay. So he starts doing his numerology to prove

(35:24):
that because the use of it's the very strange word.
If you think about those lyrics, it doesn't make sense,
like why would he use that very strange word. It's
same as whatever. So Aaliyah was backup singing. Prince on
fucking drums, Elvis on keys was a Jeff k As
Keith Richards, and Michael Jackson is Mick Jagger. Uh huh.

(35:48):
I'm I don't know too much every aspect. It just
seems like I don't know if I just have psychedelics
on the brain because you're you hear me because I'm
near you, and he has been breathing your excellations. No,
because but they like your description of like them pointing

(36:10):
at evidence of the Illuminati, like really felt like people
who are like tripping. And and then this just he
just seems I mean, he seems like he's blacked out,
like just out on his feet, like hammered. He was.
There was a time where he like said and the
woman I'm sleeping with he gestured to, like someone he's
sharing a hotel room with, and like made this weird

(36:30):
joke and everyone's but like people were like the audience
was very strange, and you know, along with all this stuff,
there was someone like on their you know, telegram channel,
asking a question like are we putting too much faith
into this guy? Like he just said JFK was gonna
show up, Like all this wild ship that could never

(36:51):
happen didn't happen, And now more of you are going
along to remain in Dallas because you think there's a
chance that he could reap year. And this person was
like chased out of the group and being called like
a nonbeliever. So you know we already the cult aspect
of this is pretty established. It's more like when you
hear this stuff, I'm like, I just don't know what

(37:11):
the end game is and where it goes. Because not
to say that this is the most mainstream que stuff,
but it is definitely part of that ecosystem. Like where
are they headed? And is it just going to create
a lot of people who are seeing all kinds of
skewed meaning of you know, what they're experiencing in their
day to day and like beginning to like act out

(37:32):
in real life. And that's where I get real and
easy of seeing like where this stuff goes. I think,
I mean, I think so. I think it's just it's
a mix of people being confused about what's going on
board and just like have very little meaning. And that's
I mean kind of what capitalism does. Is it kind
of you know, gets rid of the meaning of your

(37:54):
life when your life is just like work and money, right,
and then suddenly you're a super spy. You're fucking James
Bond over here. They're all the guys Bill Bill Pullman's
Bill Paxson's character from a true life Let's who they
all are. But his um, his delivery. Like when he

(38:18):
was saying like the Prince on keyboard, he was like
staring into the camera because I think he knew that
this was gonna like hit the media. But I don't know.
People were at that concert. You could just be like,
now that didn't happen. Yeah, they're like, I'm sorry, just
even show me how this person was Prince on just
I'm curious to know. Yeah, what the again, how they

(38:42):
sustained this sort of logic of yeah, a little Richard, Okay,
where was that? Right? Yeah, thank you? Exactly what? All right,
let's check in with like the Trump you know line,
who is he endorsing these days? What what are they
all about? It seems like we're starting to see a

(39:03):
trend here. Yeah, I mean he's his hold on the
GOP is pretty clear, and he butts heads with Republicans
that are like only like ninety three percent racist. So
there's definitely like a type that he prefers. And it
seems like, especially for the people that he's endorsing, when
you look at some of the people he's endorsed recently,
they all have a very similar pattern of allegations of abuse,

(39:27):
you know, like herschel Walker who's running for Senate in Georgia,
has been accused by his ex wife and a former
girlfriend of like, you know, threatening their lives or like
pulling a gun on them. Max Miller is a former
Trump aide who was briefly dating Stephanie Grisham, who is
the Press Secretary during their time at the White House,
and she had accused him of, you know, physical abuse

(39:48):
and had also been arrested like for like fighting at
hookah bars and all kinds of just like just general
you know, like he likes to punch people in public.
It's like brown shirt ship. Yeah. Then there's this guy,
Sean Parnell. This this guy most recently, Sean Parnell, who's
running in Pennsylvania, got Trump's blessing, and many people, yeah,

(40:08):
and many people like what's going on here again? Accusations
of abuse from people in his past, physical violent stuff,
and then he made his worldview like really clear on
a Fox and like. So then after this stuff came out,
people like, I'm not sure if you saw him when
he was on Fox and Friends and started going off
about like tyrant women and just to give you an

(40:31):
idea again, not to be late to the point, but
this is a SoundBite of him sort of. This is
sort of his general vibe as a man and how
he sees the world. I feel like the whole happy wife,
happy life nonsense has done nothing but raised one generation
of woman tyrants after the next. Maybe it's just now
there's an entire generation of men that don't want to

(40:53):
put up with the bs of a high maintenance, narcissistic woman.
I also think that modern day feminism has driven a
wedge between men and women. The idea that a woman
doesn't need a man to be successful, the idea that
a woman could live a happy and fulfilling life without
a man. I think it's all nonsense. I've already had
one failed marriage, and you know I've been there, I've
done that. But I look at women on Instagram when

(41:14):
I stumble across their pages, and the number one thing
that burns me off the most is all the duck
build selfies, the narcissistic duck build selfies. From an evolutionary standpoint,
it used to be, you know, women were attracted to
your strength because you could defend them from dinosaur. I
feel like there is dinosaur Dad. He's running for Senate.

(41:36):
He's running for fucking Senate. But I I when you
look at sort of what the platform is with Trump
at the helm, it really is like this pedal to
the metal, like fuck progress ship, Like we want a
guy who's literally evoking prehistoric man which as part of
his pursuit of a better America. And I mean, this

(42:00):
is the thing like we've seen Trump con you know's,
it's pretty similar. He surrounds his people of a similar
disposition or shitty character. So now when you see that
this almost seems like a lit mis test to get
an endorsement from him, you can only imagine where the
rhetoric and the policies are headed when this is the
stuff that he's like, we have to get behind this.
We have to get behind the guy who says women

(42:23):
who take selfies are like narcissistic monsters. And I've already
had one field marriage just throw that in there as
an aside. I mean, we do seem to see this
a lot that a comorbidity between like violent misogyny and
a lot of problems in America, whether it be like

(42:43):
mass shootings, just murder, or you know this fucking white
supremacist you know movement. And it makes sense because being afraid,
feeling threatened as in your manhood. I feel like undergird's
a lot of you know, the character profiles of the

(43:06):
people who are causing a lot of the problems in
this country, right because conservatism now just means go backwards.
There's nothing there's at this point, they've completely stopped contributing
any kind of idea that somebody like, yeah, did you
hear that thing Mitt Romney said, if that were a
policy that would make our lives easier. It's just been like, man,

(43:29):
taxes are too much for us millionaires and were regular
people huh, folks. And it's everything else is just about
chipping away at fucking any semblance of progress, whether that's
for like bodily autonomy or reproductive rights or or lgbt
Q civil rights, anything like this, Like no, no, no,

(43:49):
we gotta fucking take everything back back, back, back back.
And I'm not sure how many people realize that that's
truly what the deal is here. And I many people
feel like we got to get back to like simpler
times in America, was this or that, and we didn't
have any idea of things like runaway misogyny or racism.

(44:10):
But this is sort of you know, I think this
man truly would be like sh it was easier when
women picked you based on if a dinosaur was gonna
eat her because we were walking the earth at the
same time as dinosaurs. If you remember, I'm a Christian,
that's a facts facts. I mean, what do you think

(44:32):
he sounds like a guy who took one he like
heard about evolutionary biology from his freshman year college roommate,
and then decided to just shoot off at the mouth
constantly about it. I don't know if you know, like
that's how like women picked men. Hey man times, so
what a fresh take on social media? Taking down the
old duck face selfie? Right, And it's just kind of

(44:57):
odd when you see it's the wick where you'll see
Republicans get progressive, because it always strikes me when you
see like how Republican members of Congress are now like, man,
we gotta figure out legal banking for legal cannabis, And
you're like what where did you Where did you hear that?
You're like, I got donors who are pretty in so

(45:20):
I gotta like represent It's like wow, So you only
pick that road when like there's money and someone's clearly
being like, hey, man, we can make some fucking money.
But like you got a team up with Elizabeth Warren
in this case to make this happen. Alright, let's take
a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,

(45:49):
and all right, let's let's dive into the sitcom premise
that is an actual news story. So somebody is listing
a three bedroom home about an hours drive from Toronto. Toronto,
I'm told, is how you're supposed to pronounce it, Toronto. Yeah,
forty thousand dollars, which is a very good price. And

(46:14):
tens of thousands of people are inquiring. And it is
apparently in a new dist resort, and that's like in
the description. But people are still inquiring, even though I'm
pretty sure there aren't that many nudists like just in
existence to like be inquiring that much. So the question becomes,

(46:34):
would you green light this sitcom about a nonnodice couple
living in a newdist resort for the for the good
home price or another a secondary question, would you would
you do it? I don't think so. I wouldn't know.
I don't want to see that ship against my will. Yeah,
I'll take a smaller Yeah, I'll see I'll take a

(46:55):
smaller house somewhere when people have their clothes on. Yeah,
I don't. I don't want to see that. But that's
just me. Yeah, I think. I think if I was it,
it would depend on where I was at in my
housing search. But I think if I if I was
really striking out, if I was like being rejected for loans,

(47:17):
if I couldn't find a place, and I would, I
would do it. If I could get to a certain point,
I would do it, but only if I could live alone.
For some reason, there's I have so many questions about
nudist colonies, like, I mean, what are what are the
children wearing? Are they naked too? And then you know,

(47:40):
there's a lot there's a lot of things I need
to know. I get the feeling no children allowed, I'm hoping,
But but then can you ban children from I guess
you can ban children from a colony. I don't know
how the rules of colonies work. So you can only
be a childless naked adult there, Yeah, I hope. So

(48:01):
here's the little thing, Jenny, Yeah, you can't have nick.
I never actually never thought about how kids. You can't
send kids to like nudist school, do you think they
have night school for the adults and that's naked. How big?
How big does this go? Yeah, I don't know all
the top I have some inference about the ecosystem there. Yeah,

(48:25):
there no Actually, now that you mentioned that no kids allowed,
you know, I could just you do notoriously hate your
own children. So there's something to think about if you
get cold and you want to put on a jacket.
I'm cold all the time, like you know, I need

(48:46):
to put all my Unfortunately it's in the tropical climbs
of Toronto. Yeah, I was like that, it's not one
of the coldest places, I think, so I think it's
up there. Yeah, so I don't know. This is it's
just wild. I think it's a testament to you know,
late stage capitalism and how things are bad that people

(49:09):
have inquired for the property since it was listed on
September one. Weave it to me to ask the scientific questions. Yeah,
there you go. Alright, let's talk Santa Clause because it
is that time of the year where people start complaining
about how elite people are talking about Christmas. So vaccines

(49:33):
for kids are starting to roll out. There was a
big announcement last week that they were starting to do
the planning and that kids could start signing up, which
by the time you hear this, the internet will probably
be flooded with like anti vax propaganda. I know a

(49:53):
lot of parents who are not generally anti vax, who
are like, never my child who has already had to
get vaccinated. So I don't know why I'm drawing the
line here, but yeah, I don't know. It seems like
this is gonna be a real ship show. But readry
jam is predicting that Santa is going to be a
big part of the story because that guy, you never

(50:16):
know where he's gonna fall. Santa's coming out on both sides. Wow,
this guy is a real groundholl coming out with this
prediction November. I mean, once you have a crystal ball,
this is incredible. So Santa was the focus of one
of the earliest vaccine related controversies last year. But this,

(50:38):
speaking of that Adam Sandler video that you want to make, Jamie,
this was at a time when the right was rapidly
pro vaccine, but it was before anybody had invented one,
so like they're therefore it therefore vaccines as long as
they're like unsafe and untested, but it was. It was
because the Trump administration was pushing to have a vaccine

(51:00):
d before the election. Science be damned, and his plan
involved vaccinating mall Santa's before everyone else and in turn
having them promote the vaccine to kids that sit on
their laps, so you know, via whispering like, yeah, don't
tell your mom, kid, but I could. I could hook
you up with a vax I. Cut some need Zoey

(51:23):
Deschanelle elf has yeah, has a bunch of needles with her, Like, yeah,
flawed plan. He's pointing out that like Fauci claimed in
November that Santa was immune to COVID, but then also
claimed that he personally traveled to the North Pole and
vaccinated Santa. So I just feel like we need to
give Faucci like a year off, Like he feels like

(51:45):
someone who's been awake for forty eight hours in a
row and it's just like punchy and it's just you know,
throwing stuff out there at Yeah. I think I think
of him as like always shaking a little bit, right, Yeah,
but yeah, So Santa has been to hospitals to promote

(52:07):
the vaccine in Finland, along with Finnish heavy Metal Eurovision
champ Lordie, who I was not aware of before the story,
but it looks like Home Improvements Richard Carne is like
halfway turning into a zombie and also like mixed with
Gene Simmons. But then there's there's also the issue of

(52:27):
whether Mall Santa Claus will be vaccinated or not this year,
which the answer seems to be yes. Of course they
fucking have to be vaccinated because most children are could
be unvaccinated. But there's already one one Santa who in
October it was like they fired me for not being vaccinated.

(52:47):
His his excuse, Santa Ron, which is what he goes by,
told news for Jack's Yes, Jacksonville, Florida, against all odds
that he doesn't want the covid vacks team because he
has had bad reaction to shots in the past, just
shots across the board have like caused a cute auchies

(53:08):
whenever applied to him. But yeah, I don't know, it's
it feels like this is definitely going to happen. And yeah,
I mean, as a lover of Santa media, I do
feel that there is a responsibility of Santa culture to
kind of lead the conversation here and always. You know,

(53:29):
it's something I take very seriously, and I have to
imagine the whole Santa community does unpacked Santa's that is
like that of course that shouldn't be allowed, and of
course it's like going to happen. It kind of reminds
me of the Mall Santa from Nathan for you, where
he had like every mall Santa has a dark secret,

(53:50):
you know, like some sometimes it's going to be that
they're unvaccinated. I personally, I don't know, Jack, do you
do you bring your kids to to see Santa at
the mall? Are you going to scare every dead every day? Wow?
That's awesome. No, I think we'll skip it this year.
We skipped it last year. We managed to skip it.
Last year. It was Yes, Santa Santa's at them all

(54:12):
really have had a Jenking career is probably, and except
in the Red States. Yeah, it does suck for the
people who's like that's their entire identity. I feel for y'all,
but like I probably if you're not willing to get
vaccinated in order to keep that identity. Yeah, all right,

(54:35):
let's talk. Let's have you guys seen an eternals no,
have you no internals? Is that some nerd ship, Yes,
nerd ship that's coming out came out last weekend? Yeah,
dog nerds. So this is the latest Marvel movie to

(55:00):
you know, be groundbreaking, and that Brian Tyree Henry is
playing the first openly gay superhero in a Marvel movie,
and critics are hailing the inclusive storyline as the bare minimum,
and yeah, I don't know. The last time Marvel like
boasted about l g B t Q plus representation turned

(55:24):
out to be a ten second scene end game in
which one of the directors, who isn't gay in real life,
mourns his dead partner in a support group because the
filmmaker claimed that representation is really important, which became like
a pr nightmare. So in addition to like just being

(55:45):
a thing that they're trying to get credit for and
like without really thinking about it or doing anything about it,
early reviews are mentioning a scene in which Fastos, who
is the superhero question, stands quote solemnly in the wreckage
of Hiroshima and screams, what have I done? Yeah, Like,

(56:08):
he's not literally responsible for the use of a nuclear weapon,
but because fast Dose is essentially the patron god of technology.
He like feels responsible for for doing it. But I
don't know. It just feels like this is what happens

(56:28):
when you're like trying to like tie in the fucking
holocaust or the use of like a nuclear weapon to
kill hundreds of thousands of people in a like split second,
like as a plot point. Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I mean nothing against whatever. I always get like filet

(56:49):
of fished in comments when I'm like, I just I
have I have no interest in, uh, Marvel trying to
comment on the real world. I like to watch people
fly around. I like to watch people kiss, like when
the school bus is pulled off of the edge of
the bridge. I'm not looking for commentary. And when I

(57:15):
hear that there's commentary in a Marvel movie, usually I
don't go right. I mean shout out to though. Good
for her for for directing a huge as movie. That's cool. Yeah,
getting a huge pay day for her restaurant recently. It
was cool spending that in Turtles money, yeah, Gretta said.

(57:37):
Gretta said hie to her after on our way out,
like in a classy way. But I would have never
she as we're walking by signed this movie for me signed.
It wasn't like it was like a classy hillo and

(57:57):
that she didn't stop. It was moving. Even when you're moving,
it's okay because you're not expecting them to spend time
with you. Yeah, yeah, that is that is the way
to do it. Yeah. I think like it's okay to
have like tie insto history like in Hocus Focus. I
don't know if you guys are fans of that movie,

(58:18):
but Jack, you know that was a good movie because
it opens with the Salewitch Trials, in which the women
being murdered are actual witches. Uh, and so like the
Puritans were right and every every puritanical thing in American culture.
They were chill, but they were right. Yes, thank you. Yeah,

(58:43):
I don't know. Inserting magic and in that scenario wasn't
about puritanitanical values. It was like literally because they were
eating the children in the town. I don't know. Yeah,
I mean it's certainly a revisionist look at say which
trails and that's why artists is so important, right Yeah,

(59:06):
I don't know, Like, but you know, Jam also points
out like Raiders of the Lost Ark does this in
a way that doesn't really fuck me up, Like I
think it's like cool when you're melting Nazis, Like that's
maybe that should be just like the rule if you're
if you're getting to melt Nazis, I'm good. But otherwise
historical commentary, I feel like it it's more fun when

(59:28):
it's not like especially like in this genre and like
action and superheroes and ship like that, when it's more
cathartic versus punishing and reminding you about a large loss
of life. Right, yeah, melting the Nazis is great because
it's just like it's scratching the edge of like wouldn't
it be so cool to melt the Nazi, to melt

(59:48):
an evil person versus like so many innocent people died?
Doesn't that make you want to keep watching this movie?
That I I feel like just looking at the trailer,
I'm like, this is three hours long. I'm not going
movies are too long. We as a society to come
together on that point. I can't do that because you know,

(01:00:11):
well every movie is a fucking irishman now, Jesus Christ,
I don't. I can't do that. I can. I barely
have enough, you know, attention span to read two pages,
you know, Yeah, I'm gonna see Titane again. That's my
That's how I'm going to see Eternals. It's just see
Titane a second time. What is Titane. I don't know

(01:00:33):
if I'm saying it right because it's a French word,
but it's the movie where the lady has sex with
a car and gets pregnant with a car and gives
birth to a car. Who. Yeah, it is, like, I mean,
it's I'm very inclined to like movies like that, but
it's incredibly good. It's by this friend. I'm going to
watch the director. Yeah, her name is Julia Ducarne. She

(01:00:56):
made a really good movie about like teen girl Hannibalism
a couple of years ago too. Like she just does
the wildest stuff and does it all the way. Yeah,
she has sex with a car. Wow, my dream. I
know you didn't even I was like, wow, I didn't
even realize that that's how you could have sex with it.
I mean, the way she has sex with the car.

(01:01:17):
I wasn't expecting it. I was expecting very different. Yeah,
I don't even know how to picture it. Huh. I
thought you were mispronouncing Titanic. I was like, is that
like a classy way to pronounce yeah with your pinky up. Yeah,
it's like except having sex with cars, except having sex

(01:01:38):
with the car and having a car baby. Yeah, that
part seems less fun, but I am interested. Yeah, I
mean people who like the like so the movies based
on the Eternals is based on the classic comics series
and all those tweets about Jack camal nan Gianni, Oh

(01:01:59):
that's the one he's in. Yeah, yeah, this is the one.
This is clearly a topic for being Blair. We know
so much and I don't know about it either. I
don't know the comics. I was really excited about the director,
and then I saw the trailer and it's all like
laser ship and like, I just don't I've never been

(01:02:22):
into people who shoot lasers out of their hands that
I find it somewhat boring. Yeah, Marvel was like, let's
get this woman with so much taste and just and
then just keep it straight marble. Yeah that's yeah, that's
what drives me like up a wall about it is
like it would be really cool to give clothes ou
something like that budget to do whatever she wanted or

(01:02:46):
like the same for like Tycho I T T. Of
like here's three million dollars, what or probably more like
what will you do? Instead of like the same superhero
movie that you feel like, I mean and I haven't
seen it, so maybe it is like very very different
and she has her own fingerprints like all over it.
But it all kind of feels like this movie could

(01:03:07):
be made by anybody. Why why are you wasting this
talented person's time. But they don't want that, They don't
want something like new. They want to keep my role
happy the way it is. Yeah, she does cast it
with mostly people who live in bands and in America.
Well that's that's signature. Yeah, all right, that's gonna do

(01:03:31):
