Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

staff favorite guests.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh yeah, baby, just wait till the other guests here.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
That I wouldn't give you my iPhone to give you
to your cousin for nothing.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yo, I still owe you that photo.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I didn't look. I was just trying to bring it up.
But when you said, yo, I'm looking for iPhone for
my cousin, I said, I got you. Yeah, you owe
me that photo from your cousin.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
You came through. So my cousin Malwood has it right now.
And last I checked, he was in the Red Sea
with his son Melik.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
All right, so let me see have him send you one.

Speaker 5 (00:58):

Speaker 2 (00:58):
It was a little bit concerning because you sending me
pictures from underwater and I was like, one during It's like,
is he some merging this phone?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Waterproof? That's just waterproof.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
He's good, he's good, that's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Crazy, what is the phone?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Just like an old iPhone pro that you know, like
they were waterproof for a minute, you could take underwater
photos on an iPhone.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, it's so hard to get an iPhone in the rest,
like Egypt, and you go there and every single person
has an iPhone and you're like, how the fuck are
they getting this? And it's just it's just people like
Miles b Yeah, we're applying the whole country with iPhones.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Just specifically it is Miles applying Cairo.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I go to restaurants, I take people's I I just
snatched people's iPhones off their tables when they're eating, and
I send them to Egypt.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Hey, man, stop, I need to introduce you. Stop the
author of Becoming Bob the president of the Arab and
Middle Eastern Journalists Association. You might have seen his work
in places like I don't know, CNN, The New York Times,
m PR, GQ, Columbia Journalism Review.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Welcome back to this show.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Is it's funny? I just updated my profile my bio
to include the fact that I was arrested by the NYPD.
Just as impressive as.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Being sixteen mm before it was fashionable. Yeah, before it
was cool and yelling. It's still cool. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I talked yesterday's episode about the Heinz Mustard. I wonder like,
are they doing that with Kendrick? I mean they have
to be right, you just I don't know you reported
on it? Did they say I did report on it?
I mean you read?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Are you writing an article loud about it on a microphone?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
The reporters are getting lazier and lazier.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Man, Yeah, this is I did not look up anything
other than that they did it and.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
You got called Kendrick and asked for coming.

Speaker 7 (02:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, oh no, no, yeah, they did it with Mustard.
They're not They're not going to go full full whack
of do to jack in the culture like that, although
I wouldn't put it past them, and.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I famously known for respecting the culture. Yeah, so much
cool ship.

Speaker 8 (03:06):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Let me let me show you this. This is my book. Yeah,
it's finally here. I have a real copy. Congrats.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Hold that feel good.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's a beautiful book. This is the happiest day of
my life.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Wonderful addition to the book shelf. You know, like a
beautiful blue that just like pops.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know, this is a school photo from like the
first grade, and I'm the cover too much, dude, you
got too much sauce in that school photo. I'm so
saucy in the school photos. I looked at the angle, said, yeah,
I might look at you. I'm looking at the cameraman
like he just called me a slur his side for sure,
like you said, yeah, But I remember what was in

(03:44):
my head at that time, and I remember thinking, like, damn,
anybody who's smiling in this picture is whack as hell.
I'm not gonna smile. Wow, I'm not. I'm not like that.
I'm I'm like real dude. Yeah, yeah, that's what I
was feeling. And it's funny because this was I saw
this picture. I was like, yeah, that's the cover of
the book, right right.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
And it's an autobiographical it's a memoir, which it's insane
to say because it makes me feel like I'm old
and I've got like a big beard.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
And I smoke a pipe. But no, man, it's it's specifically,
it was called Becoming Bubba, and it's specifically about that
time period and every man's life hope, I mean not
every man's, but it's about specifically about that time period
when you have your first kid and your life flips
upside down and you become a bubba Bobba's just Arabic
for dad or daddy yea, And yeah, I mean you

(04:32):
guys are both parents. You guys are both fathers, and
so I think you guys can both relate to like
that moment when you feel like you're prepared. You know,
you don't really know what to expect, but you did
your research. You're there for your wife. You saw her
get bigger and bigger and bigger than the day comes
and you just can't wait. And then the baby comes
and you're old in them and you're just like, this
is this is real? I'm a dad now. Then like

(04:53):
for the next year, you don't sleep at all, and
then your social falls apart, and then you think of
yourself different, and your priorities change, and your diet changes
and everything just changes. So this book is chronicling what
that's like, you know. And another thing I'm trying to
like dig into is the fact that this is like
the first generation of like parents like us who care

(05:14):
about our kids in like a very emotional way, or
we want to be part of the day to day
we want to raise them we want to teach them,
we want to show them the world as we see it.
That's kind of new because I have yet to find
somebody whose dad felt the same way. So it sort
of feels like this is the first generation of this
kind of dad, and so I wanted to chronicle it.
I wanted to write it out. And you know, it's

(05:36):
really special because it's from the Muslim perspective. And I
have never seen a piece of media that the center
is the Muslim father as they become a father, particularly
ones when they're born and raised outside of a country
and they're born in dispora, right, Because there's like this
really big fear that the more I talk to people,
the more I realized that they share, which is that

(05:57):
they will be the reason why their kids have no
connect to their mother land.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Right.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
And it's like my Arabic already is kind of like Okay,
it's not great, but I know maybe like ten percent
of the Arabic that my parents know, right, And I'm
so worried that my kid will have like ten percent
of the Arabic that I know.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah, I'm going through that right now.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
I know.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, It's it's like your imagine like your kid going
someplace and being like I'll have the peak o the gallo.
You know, it's sort of work, that's sort.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
Of where yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
So this book chronicles it, and it digs deep and
it tries to figure out where those feelings come from,
the weird ways that they surface, like trying to pick
the right name for your kid, right. Also, like when
you're on the phone with your mom and then she
gets mad at you because you're doing something that she
expects your wife to do instead. It's like all of
these weird things come up. And but more than anything,

(06:50):
it's an entertaining book. It's one of those books you
can just like read on the subway, you can, you know,
I wouldn't recommend reading it while you're driving, but there's
audiobooks for that.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
It's so funny because like, yeah, my family in Japan,
like they saw me with my kid and they're.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Like, oh God, They're like, oh, you're like a mommy.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
The way I was in you interact.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, yeah, I'm like the fuck are you talking about?
This is my little baby. I love the funk out
of him.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Why are you holding him that?

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Where?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Just smoke a cigarette? Go smoke a cigarette outside.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
With your drink a beer.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, be emotionally distant. All right, Well it's out now.
People can go find it wherever books are sold.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's about to be out. It's gonna be out next week.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
July eighth, July eighth, everybody mark the calendar.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
And you're doing some appearances with the book too.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, so the first one July eighth. I would love
for people to come, but it's already a little sold
owun humble, humble brag, but sorry, yeah, yeah yeah. If
you do want to come in, you gotta stand outside
and just yell musta yeah, yeah yeah. Or if you

(07:56):
come up and say, Miles sent me exactly. Yeah, yeah,
that's all good.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
You could define or come with an iPhone to trade it.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I'll give you a free book.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
What is something from your search history?

Speaker 8 (08:11):
Okay? Typical dog mom? Right, I'm constantly googling can my
dog eat? Blank? Today it was Italy, like the South
Indian food. I was like, can dogs eat Italy? It's
it's like, I don't even know how to describe it,
but it's delicious. It's South Indian. It's made from like
lentils and stuff like a rice and other things, but

(08:37):
it's really good. If you haven't been to a South
Indian restaurant, you gotta go to like a like a
Odapes or like a Woodlands or something. Get you some
some Italy's and dosa, some good bread comfort food.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, okay, yeah, wait is this kind of like dosas? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (08:55):
You make it from like kind of the same batter,
but it's like in a different format. But yeah, it's
delicious and I had to. My big dog liked it,
and my little dog wouldn't eat it until my little
dog saw the big dog eating it, and then he
was like, okay, I'll try.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
You don't have to talk about jacket and I like that.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
We don't when I recognize the big dog big.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
You know, he's always a yapper. You got in on tin, Yeah,
get it, Miles, get it so you can so it
is safe.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
It is dog safe.

Speaker 8 (09:31):
It's dog safe. I don't know if that's just Indian
people being like the dog's family give it to Italy
like I have no idea, but they ate it. But
I'm constantly googling can my dog eat this? And I'm
like googling the same ship twice. The dogs are just
staring at me, like let me eat it.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
As long as it is plain Italy with no massala
or chutney powder on it whatsoever, Garlic.

Speaker 8 (09:55):
And onion and stuff, and you know we use that seasoning.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
We like seasonings.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
You know, I don't know, I've every time I've had
Indian food's very it's very dull.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'm very dull.

Speaker 8 (10:06):
Put us in a break room. Just give me five.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Do you spicy?

Speaker 3 (10:16):
I don't know, there's a spicy sort of okay, interesting, interesting.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
I mean yeah, it could use some mao for sure.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
That really hurt my feelings.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, cream cheese Okay, cream cheese? Is
that cream cheese and alveda? Like I'm just saying, this
stuff would fit really nicely into a castrole. Little cream cheese,
little velveta were sprinkling corn flakes on top, putting it
into a castle dish. Midwestern cooking. Shout out to Midwestern.

Speaker 8 (10:48):
Yeahs aren't salads. I know that's true.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Whenever I have a whenever I have a Vindolu curry,
I always have to put like a thousand island on it, just.

Speaker 8 (10:58):
Like genuinely sturbing, like do you imagine it's gonna be
like smile?

Speaker 3 (11:08):
But it's like.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
Curry it's just.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I need mayo chop on.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
This.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Chicken Tika Masala casserole is one of my favorites. So
you actually just take a block of Philadelphia cream cheese,
you melt it, you put the chicken Tika masala around it,
and then it just like kind of melts. It's mainly creamy.

Speaker 8 (11:31):
You know, there's some white bitch on TikTok who married
into an Indian family and it's already making these recipes and.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's like her cousin married into an Indian.

Speaker 8 (11:41):
I'm sorry with Thedi, she's like, I'm exotic.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
You're gonna love my four alarm beef chili doll.

Speaker 8 (11:49):
She's putting like Indian oils in her hair. It's like
fully dripping. She doesn't know what she's doing.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, something you think is underrated?

Speaker 9 (12:03):
I wrote. I wrote down a couple of things. I'm
gonna say. Riding bikes places.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, riding bikes places is great. One of the great joys.
It's truly great.

Speaker 9 (12:15):
I mean, in New York it's great as it is terrifying,
but it's still great. Drawing even if you're bad at it,
I think is underrated. I think it's it's good to try, Yeah,
and ordering food in person like pick up order and
pick up at Starbucks by walking in saying what you

(12:36):
want and then and waiting in line.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Not using an app to not use yeah yeah, yeah,
shad on.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
The app people.

Speaker 9 (12:43):
But I think it's I have a theory that you
have to improve your odds of having good interactions with
other humans as much as you can. So the more
actual interactions you have, the better your odds that you
will get good ones.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Right, just collecting good interactions? It sounds like.

Speaker 9 (13:02):
Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, you could look at it
that way. You're greedy collecting interactions. You're getting a better
sample size of interactions to decide whether or not people
suck are good.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Right, Yeah, if you default the people fuck is suck.
That's so I'm going to use that app. I don't
have to talk to anyone then yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:22):
Well you've only talked to three people, so yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Well I hate my mom, dad, and grandma.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right, do you have a thing that you draw?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Like?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I can draw sharks pretty well because I drew a
lot of them when I was waiting ages like four
to seven, So that's the one thing I can still draw.
You got do you got a thing that you can draw.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
I drop little cartoon faces a lot.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
That's fun. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:45):
I was a caricatu artist at Dorney Park when I
was a teenager.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
So you're not a bad You're not a bad drawer
the way that I am.

Speaker 9 (13:53):
No, But that's my point. I think even if you're
bad at it, you should give it a shot.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Just give it a shot.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, that's encouraging from somebody who actually knows how to draw.
Because I started doing like adult coloring books and shit,
I love I love that. Yeah, and then that's that's
led me more into like drawing. And I realized, like
I keep drawing faces the same way I did when
I since like fifth grade, with like your big bubble
eyes and like the same nose, and I'm like, I
have no other way to draw faces.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
It's all. I'm like, I can do I can do
an okay I and but but I just don't know
like where like the face always comes out fucked up,
you know.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, the thing where somebody said that Lonzo Ball looks
like h seventh grader trying to draw Drake, right, Like
that's kind of how like my my version of faces,
Like it's just like it's hard to say what is wrong,
but something's very wrong, you know.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah, yeah, I I did recently a thing or like
maybe right after the fire. Her Majesty and I were
like just trying to be less on the TV and
there was like that trend going on social media where
like couples would do a like a hand drawn portrait
of each other other like for like five minutes. Oh
my god, it tested every fiber of our marriage because

(15:14):
what I turned around, she was like she was actually
aghast with how poor my drawing skills were, and she's.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Like, are you even trying to draw me?

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Or you just drew like any fucking face and made
like these wispy smegel hairs on top of I'm like
the eyebrown. Dude, I suck. I'm so fucking bad at drawing.
But it was actually pretty entertaining because she was she's
actually good at it, and I was just shamed.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
She nailed you.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, you were like, god, damn, I finally see myself.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
You got the stink lines and everything.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Shut up mo. Yeah. The two things that I drew
growing up is uh, sharks and then you know, like
sharks eating people. And then I would I would always
draw Michael Jurdon, but I couldn't draw his face, so
I would just draw him from the back doing stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Three.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, and then you put there, everybody knows who it is.
They're like, damn, that's actually pretty good. But yeah, get
that silhouettemooth, smooth back of the head so you don't
have to like draw hair.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Did you get a sense of like this curvature of
the skull or did it just look like a thumb
from behind?

Speaker 7 (16:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think I got pretty good at drawing the back
of the I'm much better at drawing the back of
the head than.

Speaker 9 (16:27):
The being Like, I'm going to get the shape of
the back of a head and have somebody recognize it.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yes, as the back of a head. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,
all right, man, I'm gonna have to get back out there.

Speaker 9 (16:40):
And I'm thinking, like drawing sharks at that age is
like a really, that's like a that's big social currency.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
It was pretty like that. That was what I was
known as. That was like, my my first identity was
guy who likes jaws and draws draws. Those are my
two things.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
The little boy who cannot read, I can't draw jaws.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
That was the part they didn't say out loud around me,
but yeah, you can't speak yet.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
We think you may have some savant quality man.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
And then like you know, always always a leg that
had been bitten off, you know, just like floating to
the bottom like at the beginning, like in Jaws. I
definitely drew some shark scenes that at one point a
teacher like pulled me aside and was like, did you
draw this? Like what a little concerned about?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Like how you're like, yeah, fifteen bucks, got it? Or
what cash right now?

Speaker 4 (17:35):
Regional work?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Wait, you got to send us through the group chat
a shark drawing Jack, because now my interest is fucking peaked.
I need to see I'm.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Not like good for an adult. They were good, I
just told I know.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
But knowing you and you coming out with like I
can draw a shark pretty good, I'm like, now I
want to see the Jack O'Brien child.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Shark draw all of a sudden, I'll be merched.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
That could be merched because we have no I think
we're about to not have a merch store.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, merch store ship.

Speaker 9 (18:06):
If your style is consistent with the sharks, it doesn't
matter how bad they are either, like it if they
all look like you draw them, then you're then you're
making art.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Then you're onto something. I will say when my kids
like first started drawing and I sat down with them
and drew a shark and they were like, goddamn, like
you you can draw huh. And then they asked me
to draw something else and they're like, oh, you can
only draw sharks. They like saw for me immediately that sucks. Oh,
because they had that moment, they're like, daddy's a good

(18:35):
draw is a good artist? Maybe?

Speaker 6 (18:39):
Fuck he's an idiot.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Fuck he was tricking us, Jim, what's something you think is?
And also, riding bikes place is great, great underrated, just
three great underrated right right in a row. Riding bikes
like miles you're underrated. A while back was just like
swinging on a swing, Like swinging man. Swig is just

(19:01):
like the closest we get to flying, you know, it's
just like god, something it does to your equilibrium. I
think biking is also like that. It's like biking is
just like you're kind of coasting, you know, like.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Moving through space. Yeah, what's in your ear stimulation that
you get that we haven't had since primates apparently is
what they.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Said, it like really turns my brain like up a
notch where like I used to like ride bikes a
little bit like off roads, you know, like as a
as a kid, and like you're just like looking, you know,
your head's on a swivel. Feel feel like you're really present, Yeah,
very present would be Yeah. Yeah, what is something you

(19:38):
think is overrated?

Speaker 6 (19:39):
Overrated?

Speaker 10 (19:40):
So I had to self fund and push my book tour.
And one of the things about doing the book tour
was traveling. And I don't know how much I saw
that you all you all were just in a city.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
I was just in. I literally missed you. I forget
where you were.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
I was in over the weekend.

Speaker 10 (19:56):
Yeah yeah, I think we literally we were like two
ships in the night. Oh you were just in Des Moines,
I was, yeah, And so I think it was there
for a layover and all that to be said traveling,
I think flying, I think packing, I think just all
of it is. It's awful, like living out of a
like living out of a like a suitcase. Like I

(20:17):
literally there there have been two legs of my my
book tour where I literally went from like one city
to another and I was literally like from one hotel
to another and by the time I got home and
had to turn around and repack to leave again, I
was like, I don't want to do this ever again.
And so like I just think traveling is trash, and
then now you add COVID and then you have babies crying,

(20:39):
and then you have the people.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
Who it's just it's it's a lot. It's like traveling
is a lot.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
That plane's fucking falling out of the sky and almost crashing,
it's everything fucking sucks.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
It's plain is actually like that actually happened to me.

Speaker 10 (20:52):
I was in San Luis, Obispo, and we literally were
on the tarmac and we literally you could you know
that that that energy of when you fill the plane
getting ready to like start to like go off.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, it's getting itself psyched up, getting psyched up.

Speaker 10 (21:07):
Yeah, And it started and we like halfway down the
tarmac and then I just heard ew and I was like,
oh my god, what is happening? Yeah, yeah, and the
plane basically something electrical went wrong with the plane. They
had to turn the plane back around and take us

(21:29):
back to the actual like spot, and we were there
waiting for like three or four hours, and I eventually
ended up having to rent a car and drive to
San Francisco because I could not get another flight. It
was it's it's that bad to travel these days.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Going So I went to a wedding in Des Moines.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
So many people had horrible travel stories who got there,
Like people got in like the next day or a
day late. One friend of ours who has like a kid,
they were they were leaving the airport, they got stuck
on the tarmac for nine hours because they said they've
overfilled the plane with fuel, so they needed to burn
some fuel and in that process they went over like

(22:06):
the Union time limit for the crew, so the crew
had to get switched out before they could take off.
That added another thing. When they were gonna take off,
then they said, whoops, we now burned too much fuel
and we have to return to the gate to refuel.
And that flight ended up getting canceled and they had
to like to go sleep in at airport and then take
off on a flight the next morning. It's like, this
sounds like the worst dumb.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
It sounds like if you put me in charge of
a plane like in my twenties, you know, I'm just
like a fuck too much fuel in well, I guess
we'll just like chill here and let it burn off.

Speaker 10 (22:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Fuck, we just went over the time limit. Oh shit,
all right, let's drive over the fuck we're on almost empty?
Now what wait, you gotta go?

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Where are you going? You gotta go? Yeah, just like
overmatched waiter, just like knowing.

Speaker 10 (23:00):
The opportunity to oversee everything in the air exactly. Yes, yeah, yeah,
everything that it's just utter trash.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
And then the food is terrible.

Speaker 10 (23:08):
And then they got the audacity to turn around and
be like, we'll give you a fifteen dollars vouture for
the inconvenience that we have with you, and it's like
a food voucher.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
That's the that's the least you could do.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Okay, girl, I bought a bag of beef jerky at
Burbank Airport.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
You know how much a.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Bag of beef jerkey was?

Speaker 6 (23:26):
Twenty three dollars?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Fifteen dollars.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
I believe it.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
The way Burbank knows they have you trapped, Like Burbank
is so for people not in La Like there's Lax,
the big ass airport that's like like on the South Bay,
it's like you know, all the way over on the coast,
which is very far from most things in Los Angeles.
And then there's Burbank, which is actually like surprisingly close
to a lot of places, much closer to where I live,

(23:50):
where Miles lives. The fares are much cheaper. You get there,
you better have eaten, You better have had all the
water that you need, because they will sell you a
bottle of water for twenty dollars, like I swear they will.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
There because you're a fee.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Hate you. It's more like a bus stop.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
That's why I love Burbank, because it's like a bus station.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
You just like roll in fifteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
If you have that pre check. I will walk in there.
I'm not joking. Ten minutes before the boarding if you
can get through, if you got it, yeah, I'm not complaining.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
I'll eat.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
It's like three thousand calories before I get there, so
I'm not there's no chance on buying a seventeen dollars.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
You can actually be like, hey, hold the door while
you're going through t s. Hold the door holding, get
the train, the subway.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
It's the same way.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Shout out to the smaller little airports
around the Biggins. Yes, they're always nice, nice little change
of pace. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
be right back, and we're back. Let's talk about the

(25:10):
big beautiful bill.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah, so you heard on trends yesterday that the Senate
version of.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
This that you describing trends, the trends that you missed.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh yeah, maybe they maybe skip out on it.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
It was kind of a fart.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
No, I think I was just maybe just I just again,
the Senate has passed their version of the let's kick
millions of people off of healthcare and then turbo charged
the ice Stoppo budget bill, and it just fucking barely
squeaked by as Susan Collins, Tom Tillison, Ran Paul joined
the Democrats to force a tie breaking vote from the

(25:46):
local man who was banned from most furniture stores otherwise
known as JD Vance. Lisa Murkowski was toying with the
idea of voting against.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
It's like, I don't know, I mean, this looks bad,
this looks bad.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
And there could have been a moment where she could
have been a fucking hero or not just did the
bare minimum, and it was like, yeah, this is so
fucked up. I'm not gonna have my name attached to this.
As a yes vote, but in the end it was
it was dear Susan Collins of Maine.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
That decided to step up.

Speaker 8 (26:13):
Probably still like I just remember Collins and Markowski fucking
things up for what feels like decades.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Oh yeah, they continue to.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
How are they still wobb They constantly sort of like
trade the role of being the sort of tormented Republican
who like might do something but then doesn't, or just
being local concerned senator. I'm very concerned about this and
I will support it, and.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
It doesn't really matter exactly.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
But again, it now has to go to the House,
and that's gonna be a huge fight because you have
people who are like they're you know, completely against adding
a single more dollar to the deficit. But again, the Maga,
the Maga cult will probably take over and it potentially
will pass by July fourth. But anyway, while that happens,
and while the Senators were deliberating and debating, Elon Musk

(27:08):
fucking reignited the feud with mister Donald and was doing
everything in his power or at least in the power
of shit posting on Twitter to try and dissuade senators
from supporting this. He said he would first of all,
like in the House, because Thomas Massey is a Republican
congress person who's run a foul of MAGA because he's like, no,
this is too much waste. I can't fucking deal with

(27:29):
this that I thought we're spending less on poor people
and now we're giving we're ballooning the bill for what.
Basically Elon Musk was like, I will back you, bro,
don't worry. I got your back financially.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I why who knows, but not this time.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Musk also threatened to primary every Republican who backs the bill.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
We'll see if that actually happened.

Speaker 8 (27:52):
Really well with that judge election or whatever, and.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
With thoughts right, he look, he tries, he says things,
but about it. Trump meanwhile clapped back by saying he
would basically have to sick the dog the doge crew
on Elon's contracts.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
He's got that doge in them, he's got that doge
up them, and.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
They have the doge in him. Now he's going to
have the doge on him. Yeah, what do you think
about that? Elon?

Speaker 3 (28:19):
He said he was basically gonna like, we'll save a
ton of money. This is what he posts on truth
Social quote Elon may get more subsidy than any human
being in history by far. And without subsidies, Elon would
probably have to close up shop and head back home
to South Africa. No more rocket lunches, satellites or electric
car production, and our country would save a fortune. He
also basically said he might have to look at it

(28:39):
from Yeah. He was also saying like, yeah, we might
have to look at deporting or denaturalization for Elon. Again,
this is all who knows, because I'm sure Trump also
wants his money.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
It's like such a dumb will they won't they?

Speaker 3 (28:52):
But meanwhile, Tesla stock fell on Tuesday morning after this
back and forth, and I guess wiped out and estimated
seven billion dollars of musks.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Whatever that even means. I mean, I don't even know.

Speaker 8 (29:02):
It's probably not, it's nothing, probably, but it's.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Just nice to know he's in pain. Every time my.

Speaker 8 (29:07):
Money disappears, I'd love a little bit of his money
to disappear, you know.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Right, It's like when that disappears, we should all get
a little bit of money rained down, Like where does
that can? I can we get some of that seven billions? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (29:18):
Where did it go?

Speaker 3 (29:19):
I don't understand stock of it. But anyway, this was
I think the fight we've all been predicting what happened
that you know, none of these people can keep their word.
Trump famously will just you know, could do a fucking
full one to eighty on people that were quote unquote
loyal to him. It's not clear what this actually means
for Elon Musk, but because I think he's also just
a pump faker like Trump is.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
But the ego is a dangerous thing.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
So most rich man plus ego plus drugs maybe equal
sloppiness in the future. But what is clear as the
House you know, sort of deliberates over getting the House
or the getting their version of the big beautiful bill
across the line, all of the fucking pole shows, like
even like Fox News is pulling that clear majorities of

(30:04):
people are not approving this spending and you know, tax
break bill for billionaires because I think maybe on some
level they do understand that this is a huge so
that they're to their medical care and also just to
like healthcare systems in general who need these kinds of
funds along with all the other shit like the again
turbo charged ice budget.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
So they're managing to cut money for people who need
it while also just like requiring way more money, like
adding more money to the thing.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
They're like, well, we've got to keep the billionaire tax
cuts intact, so offset all that lost money that we
would get from tax revenues. Let's just spend maybe like
eight hundred billion less on Medicaid.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
It's kind of other.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
And then I don't know, say eight hundred billion less
let's call it, yeah, let's call it nuts.

Speaker 8 (30:53):
I feel like half of this happened before, where like
they've tried to cut the ACA and like people like
working class people were like, oh, I hate Obamacare, but
I love ACA. And then they were like rudely awakened
to what that means, Like are people waking up to
this shit? Like I noticed, like the town halls and
stuff before they ended them, people were having a lot

(31:14):
of feedbad.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
But like I mean, people are saying it. I think
it's just I just don't think they can. I just
don't think they care. Like I don't know if this
polling really matters, because you know, when you think about Ice,
that's basically.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Going to become Trump's secret police.

Speaker 11 (31:28):
So they it's like, well, who gives a fuck at
this point, like, well were they're already threatening journalists, like
especially for publishing that Iranian call where they were.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Like those bombs really didn't do shit.

Speaker 8 (31:41):
Man, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
The White House is like we need to look this up.
These people are a threat to our quote unquote democracy
or whatever the fuck you want to call this shit.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
Now watching watching Ice like grab people and like hearing
like I saw a video of like a pastor being
like these are my people who come to my church,
like they're in a like what are you doing? And
he's like I know you're doing your job, but like
this is so wrong, and watching them like post up,
I'm like, this is like these people are so evil,

(32:10):
like so walking amongst us evil it is insane. So
like yeah, I don't know how we fight them, man.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
On man, we just impersonate Ice too. We could just
be the Spider Man meme.

Speaker 8 (32:23):
You know, we just grabbed the Ice.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, you coming with me? I'm Ice. They're like I'm Ice,
No you're not.

Speaker 8 (32:30):
Isn't like a large number of like Ice or border patrol,
Like they're Latino too, right, Like so that would be
like that's like an insane yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
But now but now, like you know people don't. There's
so many unidentified people. You don't know who is, who
comes from. Where are these bounty hunters? Are these just
fucking LARPers because there's already been there was d criminals.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Are they people are just looking to abduct somebody And
that's happened. Yes.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
In Houston, there was a guy who tried to rob
a dude and his wife came out with the blamer
and they shot the fucking guy who was trying to
impersonate Ice. He's like, get on the ground, He's like,
this is a robbery.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Run your ship. And then they exchanged gunfire.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
And then there was another guy in Philadelphia who also
came through trying to rob a business and saying immigration Immigration.
He got arrested. So there's there are a lot of
people who are now you know, it's clear all you
got to do is pull up with a gun and
a face mask and attack vest. So yell police and then.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Say they just arrested somebody who they found this car
parked in a handicapped spot without any like handicap plates,
and so they took a closer look and were like, oh,
it's an undercover police car because there are uh, you know,
police lights on the inside and like he has like
the different police radios. Turns out it wasn't. It was

(33:52):
just a guy who was pretending to be ICE. He
had like a bunch of like fake credentials and shit,
he had been arrested before for human smuggling. Uh and
is yeah, well, the only reason they found him is
because he decided to like park illegally like but otherwise, Yeah,
this was just somebody who was going around listening to

(34:15):
police radio and using the cover of ICE, you know,
wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves to presumably he
was going to kidnap people and do whatever he wanted
with them.

Speaker 8 (34:28):
That's so crazy.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yeah, the guy in Philadelphia had like a like a
white van with no windows too. It was all fucking
It's again, this is like kind of the fear that
exactly that they want because in.

Speaker 8 (34:40):
LA they purge.

Speaker 6 (34:41):
Man.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Nobody feels safe in LA, especially not people of color
at this point because it's not just I know, a
lot of the focus like like has been on people
from like Mexico or El Salvador, Guatemala or South America,
Central America, but it's still.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
It's they're Asian people.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
They're Asian people are getting swept off the street, African people,
caribbe in people. It's fucking anybody and the all dude,
so many of my friends in LA, they're not leaving
the house. They're like, you know, my Mexican friends who
are like telling their parents not to leave the house
even though they are citizens, are like, we just don't
even want you to get fucking caught up in anything,

(35:16):
just because it's just feels so fucking tenuous right now.

Speaker 8 (35:19):
This is why I'd like to implement what I call
my white Face program with just three payments nine learn
how to do white face.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Everyone should be going down white chicks.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Makeup officer, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
This is bullshit.

Speaker 8 (35:40):
Our lives improved significantly in other ways we can't even imagine.
We're like, what the fuck.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
So, guys, when you have a disagree with somebody and
they win the argument, you repeat after me, okay, fair enough, okay,
fair enough. Wow, that was really good. Congratulations, I'm just
playing the CEO.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Meet our new chief financial officer of Apple. Great job
in there, Linda, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (36:11):
Thanks, thank you. I brought raisins for the macaroni. All right,
you're nailing it.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
You're nailing it.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
You're nailing it.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Just keeps offering raisins for various things, and each one
everyone's like, oh my god, perfect rims. Is that chicken?
I have raisins.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
I don't know about you, guys, but this vindalalu could
use a little more Thousand Island dressing on it.

Speaker 8 (36:41):
Too far, too far, Okay?

Speaker 1 (36:46):
In this household, we have salt, pepper, and raisins in
the middle of the dinner table. Just sprinkle them on. Yeah, yeah,
and then bread and butter, and also Philadelphia cream.

Speaker 8 (37:02):
Cheese, her noodles in the fridge.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's right, fresh fresh hot dogs. Just pulling some hot dogs. Hey,
speaking of hot dogs, let's talk about somebody who smells
like hot dogs. And for the low price of two
hundred and fifty dollars a bottle, you can also smell
like hot dogs. Or I don't know, I haven't smelled it.
I don't know how accurate to real life this is,

(37:27):
but the most hot dog smelling looking human of all time,
Donald Trump is selling a scent, a signature scent called
Fight Fight Fight.

Speaker 8 (37:40):
I'm just imagining the Ali Lukes meme of her going
no this time, it's fine. It's fine this.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Time to say which one is that one?

Speaker 8 (37:47):
Allie Lukes is the one who did her PhD on
like smells in society or whatever. Anytimes somebody tries to
shame other people for how they smell. But I'm just
imagining her going, no, this is good doing it.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Let's yeah, let's let's keep the pressure up.

Speaker 7 (38:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
So this is the fucking commercial that Donald Trump is
now in selling shit.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Spray fragrances are here.

Speaker 7 (38:11):
They make a great Christmas present. I've named them Fight
Fight Fight because they represent winning.

Speaker 6 (38:17):
We all want to be winning.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
We have to win as a nation, we want to
win as a family. This fragrance is all about strength
and success or confidence for men and for women. Get
yourself a bottle, and don't forget to grab one for
your loved ones too. They'll thank you and they'll even
smell good. Enjoy, keep on winning, and Merry Christmas.

Speaker 8 (38:38):

Speaker 1 (38:39):
When did this come out? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (38:41):
When did this come out? Marry Christmas?

Speaker 8 (38:43):
This is June thirtieth.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, Like it's hitting the news on July first, So
I don't know if it's been in the lab for
a little while. And like they just got him around Christmas,
or if he's just anticipating that this is going to
like be the hottest new Christmas present. The bottle looks
like it looks like he's like, I should win an Oscar.

(39:07):
And they were like, here you go, sir, because it's
just like a man in a business suit, like a
gold man in a business suit. Essentially.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
I think, yeah, and I thought that was Trump, but
it can't be because this figure is standing upright and
it's not doing the trademark.

Speaker 8 (39:23):
Any are you way that be so sick if there
was the trademark lean bottle, I know, if there was
like a dude balanced it's like the Michael Jackson.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Exactly, just the smooth criminal lean.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Well there.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
The website for it is very clear, okay, because most
of us are like, isn't this completely unethical, illegal, bad,
conflict of interest?

Speaker 4 (39:46):
But the website makes it clear quote Trump.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Fragrances are not design, manufacturer, distributed, or sold by Donald J.
Trump because it's a branding deal. Again, it also says
the vendor promises quote a tribute to the Trump legacy.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
It is not political and.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Has nothing to do with any political campaign.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Okay, Jesus Christ, that's how you basically pretend it's okay,
But hey, how is this legal?

Speaker 4 (40:08):
We don't know, because what is legal anymore?

Speaker 8 (40:11):
We don't know what is smell? What does smell really smell?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
And they'll even smell good, she says.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
And they even smell good.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
All right, next.

Speaker 8 (40:21):
One, I'm just like amazed by the fact that it's
called fight fight fight, Like perfumes are always about like mysterer,
like mysteriousness, and.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Like steer is a good name for a that's actually
it was. I think they just they will drop they'll
take a classy word and then like drop a syllable,
you know, yeah instead of diamond.

Speaker 8 (40:46):
Yeah, and like he's like fight, fucking fight. This is
so weird, like trashify.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
The classiest thing that you can imagine is what sixth
graders yell every time somebody pushes somebody on the playground.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
The newest one is actually victory forty five forty seven.
That's the one with the lean the man the golden
man on top too.

Speaker 8 (41:11):
Okay, problematic age gap wow, forty seven, I.

Speaker 6 (41:16):
Know, I know.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
Hey, let love win, Let love win, is what I say.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
The person who the gold guide is putting all his
weight on one of his legs, which is very American.

Speaker 8 (41:26):
As we talked about yesterday, Clean Diva, that leg bitch,
show him the romance.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
I do I need this commentary all.

Speaker 8 (41:39):
The time, bend and snap bitch.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
We do have a report from who is it again?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Kinsinger?

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, Kenzinger, who talked about what it smells like around
Donald Trump? What Donald Trump smells like? He said, quote
so if you take like armpits, catch up, make up
and a little but it's probably like that all mixed up.
The detail surprised me.

Speaker 8 (42:06):
The beautiful rhyme.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
That grosses me out the most is the specificity of
the ketchup because like ketchup for being delicious, and I
do like ketchup like on a burger, ketchup is an
all time terrible smell. Like we had ketchup spill in
a cooler and like, I like that fucked up the
use of that cooler forever more, because not only does

(42:28):
it like smell bad after the fact, but then it
like it can. It's a smell that like infects other smells.

Speaker 8 (42:35):
Doesn't ketchup? Also, like stay in concrete? Isn't that a thing?

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Like that totally makes sense to me.

Speaker 8 (42:41):
I feel like that's the thing we used to be
aware of when we would like tpe houses in like
middle school.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Day, most steak spray spray paint.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
It's like just ketch up the driveway.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (42:52):
I don't know at the time why I didn't fear
for my life while eating.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
It after that, but yeah, yeah can sty in a driveway. Wow,
Pigman's in the city, and ketchup can penetrate the material,
leading to discoloration.

Speaker 8 (43:04):
Okay, Okay, that's right, bitch, that's right. I know how
to just like a house. Are you allowed to say
it's toilet paper house?

Speaker 4 (43:14):
Yeah? Yeah, it's more just toilet paper.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
Yeah, it's more uncouth because you're revealing how privileged you
are by throwing toilet paper.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Yeah. So nobody. Nobody agrees that ketchup smells like ship.

Speaker 8 (43:28):
No, I agree.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (43:30):
Jackie's like hates ketchup. He hates eating it, and like
if I'm eating it near him, he like gags. No,
he can't handle like the smell of it.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
Oh weird.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
I'd rather smell like mustard for sure, like DJ mustard, Yeah, mustard.

Speaker 8 (43:48):
Dabbing my armpits with relish in the morning, I'm like,
I'm American.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
But this white Hey, leave this white woman alone. She's
using relish on her arm.

Speaker 8 (44:01):
She smells off. Look, I didn't wash my legs.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
You just have one of those water bottles. But it's
full of ketchup. That's that's the way to full ice.
I mean, out of context, I catch up.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
The things that really catch me out of context is
like broccoli when you're like, what the fuck is that
and you're like, oh, it's rob broccoli.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
You know what I meant?

Speaker 8 (44:21):
Sprouts that smells like farts?

Speaker 4 (44:23):
Can it too?

Speaker 8 (44:23):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (44:24):
That?

Speaker 4 (44:24):
And parmesan.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Out of context, you.

Speaker 8 (44:26):
Car like leftovers.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
It smells so bad, but it's gone broccoli too. Broccoli
can kind of like you can kind of leave a
bit of funk. Without the context. You're like this, I think.

Speaker 8 (44:36):
Something the alternate version of what broccoli means.

Speaker 6 (44:40):
Mmmmm mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Oh oh yes, oh my bad, we're talking about that loud.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
I'd rather smell like parmesan than ketch up broccoli.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
You'd rather smell like parmesan.

Speaker 8 (44:52):
No, yeah, that's those aren't the choices you can smell good.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Nope, I've got I'm committed. I'm gonna smell like parmesan. Yeah,
just shaking some parmesan on my head.

Speaker 12 (45:09):
Let's take a quick break, We'll be right back, and
we're back.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
We're back.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
And two quick pop culture things. One the new Jurassic
Park movies coming out. We had talked about this and
how we had I'll just say I had some hopes
for it because the director directed, you know, some first
came on the scene for directing like a low budget
monster movie somehow just using like effects and like creative

(45:45):
uh you know, camera replacement to make a low budget
movie about giant monsters and had since made some good films,
and I was always like, this director seems destined to
make a Jurassic Park movie. The movies out, the reviews
are tepid, uh, and it's starting to make me wonder

(46:08):
if just this franchise is is just Jaws. But because
at a time when studios were smarter and so like
back then, they were like, okay, Jaws, two same shark,
come to same island and like just eat people, basically
run it back. But at least they went to SeaWorld.
You know, yeah, they did go to SeaWorld, and that

(46:30):
was a good idea. And I would compare that to
the only Jurassic Park sequel that I think really needed
to exist, which was Jurassic World, where like they were like, okay,
but what if the park was open. It's like, that's
actually a fucking fun idea, and every movie itself was
the movie itself was like, eh, but like that's a
good premise and that made sense why people would go

(46:52):
see that. This one, they're like, what if we just
like went to the island with like some different people
and there is like some stuff there. Like the other
thing they're getting away from the whole point of these
movies is like these iconic characters from childhood when everybody

(47:13):
like went through a phase with dinosaurs, you were getting
to see them. So it's like the t Rex, the raptor,
the fucking like all all the ones that like people
were obsessed with those kids, and these movies keep just
like inventing new fake dinosaurs, and at that point, it's like,
what the fuck are we even doing? Like that's not
the point. The point is still fine, the t Rex over,

(47:35):
just give me the t rex, Like why do we
need to yeah, or tell me about some obscure one.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
But this was like, well, the raptors are in a
gang with Chris Pratt, and you're right, man, these are.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
All modified raptors, and it's like no, I just want
like real deal raptors, Like I want to know more
about the throwing up, Like no, these have been made
hyper intelligent and they aren't. They don't actually look like
real raptors would because we've like hyper charged and it's like, well,
then you're just like making a fucking monster movie, which

(48:07):
is less fun.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
That's where they miss out.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Yeah, that's I think that's where everyone gets further and
further from like what the Michael Crichton kind of version
of it is.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Like also a critique on.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Like, I don't know, it sounds bad trying to play
god too or yeah, maybe maybe it's hey, don't invite
your nephews to a theme park on opening weekend because
it can go left really quickly.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
But so the metacritics, so this is all the this
is all based on critics who have seen the film.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Yeah, forty critics who have seen it so far on
met critic are giving it a fifty two and also
Rotten Tomatoes. Is it a fifty two? So big fail
by the studio not paying Rotten Tomatoes because usually Rotten
Tomatoes will be a lot higher than Metacritic because they've
paid the Rotten Tomatoes meter to be like, uh, that

(48:55):
feels freshish for like a two star review.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Yeah, you know, it's like trying to were like underwear
for the third day.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
And like might you might fresh?

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Freshish fresh adjacent fresh adjacent? Do they say anything about
beloved Asian American actress Scarlett Johansson's performance.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
That is one thing that I know. It's one of
the reasons I'm excited about it is because, you know,
getting some diversity in there and getting you know, an
Asian American.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
I mean, look when she when she was in Ghost
in the Shell, I was like, there, she is finally
some representation for my Japanese people on the same man.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
You know, they did give her like straight two dark
black hair.

Speaker 6 (49:37):
She represents black people too.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Yeah, that's what those people who ever made that decision
to cast her there, they need to be banished from
Hollywood the world.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
She's the children, I believe scar.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
The New Black and White videos is Scarlett Johansson's like
she's doing new hairstyles and.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
She's got yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, we do
we have an esteemed expert on to talk the boo boo. Yeah,
it's the biggest fat in the world right now. It
has all the hallmarks of you know, the two big
hallmarks would be fights in stores, or at least alleged
fights and stores, and just a whole lot of mistrust

(50:22):
from the Christian community. But this, uh, the boo Boo
dolls kind of look like I writer jam described them
as looking like if Maurice Sendak got drunk and tried
to draw Willem Dafoe Like they they really are like
accommodation will Dafoe and like the wild things. But you know,

(50:50):
the blind box of it all. A lot of TikTok
endorsements from Lisa Rihanna share all the one named people
and la boo boos. There's a giant lea boo boo
protesting ice in La.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Oh, please don't make that the Pikachu of these protests.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
They're like, is the boo boo at the event?

Speaker 1 (51:13):
How do we know?

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Let's rally around la boo boo.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
The black market is booming, another sign that we have
a general cultural phenomenon on our hands. Lafufus as previously mentioned,
and yeah, they uh, I don't like I said, some
reports of public fights in stores, which is you know,
you know the local news gets excited about that.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
The biggest controversy involves accusations that they're pure evil, which,
as I said, when I first found out about them,
like a couple weeks ago, I think they I think
that is their appeal. I think they are like the
first genuine like cabbage patch kid style craze that is
openly courting the creepy doll side of things. Creepy dolls

(52:00):
are an underrated phenomenon. They are secretly like the engine
behind the Annabelle or the Conjuring franchise, Like that is
a creepy doll franchise. A lot of people don't realize that,
but I don't know. When my seven year old first
told me about it, by the way, he was like, yeah,
I saw like one of the kids has one, and

(52:21):
when I looked at it, it turned to me, turned
its head to me, and it looked up at me
and it gave me a creepy smile.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
I was like, other kids are trying to like that's
the thing is, like, did you see the doll acting up?

Speaker 1 (52:36):
I just think he is sensing the evil that the
Christians are saying. He's a very Christian child, and you
know he he recognizes evil when he sees it. No,
I think it's probably I think he's probably reacting to
the fact that I am crying every time I see
one and say saying that they're evil. He might be

(52:57):
teasing me. He might be teasing me and being like, yeah, dad,
I saw one. It looked at me and gave me
a creepy smile. But ah, there's an exorcist who came
out and told people that like, these are demonic toys
that should not be purchased by Christians. Well, I'm not
a Christian, so say, yeah, there you go. Hey, we

(53:18):
will take and de satanify your la boo boos.

Speaker 10 (53:23):
You know what, surviving in this world everything is satanic.
So I'm okay. I feel like I will be fine
with the laboo boos in my house.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (53:30):
I will also say this. So what a lot of
people don't know is that they come from there's a world.
They're called the monsters. So they're little monsters and they're
meant to do good stuff. They just sometimes don't always
do the right thing right.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
They're just they're cute and they're sower Patch kids.

Speaker 10 (53:46):
Huh, they're sour Patch kids, patch kids.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's fine, they are. That's fine, that's fine.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
I don't see what the problem is.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
Where is this evidence that it's evil? Is it just
made of Where is it in the scripture about La
boo boo and christ fotla boo boo?

Speaker 1 (54:02):
I'm sorry, did you not see The Exorcist? I'm just
checking if you've not seen the film The Exorcist, So
that is Pazuzu. You switch a couple of letters around though, Okay, there.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
Is no there is no P in the boo boo.

Speaker 5 (54:15):
It's ridiculous, very close to be, not really close to z,
but like unless the alphabet is on a circle.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so pazuzu la boo boo. I
don't I don't need to connect the dots for you.
You can do that yourself. I'm just saying, do your
own research. The demon that possessed Linda Blair in The
Exorcist was named Pazuzu, also a ridiculous name. How did
they get away with that? How did they get away

(54:47):
with being like Kazuzu? It's like, what if I was
that character? I'd be like damns like the weakest name
for a demon possess, truly, Pazuzu. I guess there is
like in.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
It sounds like you're a regular at Bjay's Brewery, and
you know how we're ending this one chocolate chip pazzuzu
for us.

Speaker 11 (55:08):
You mean the.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Well around here in this household sucks cocking. We call
them around here stupid. But yeah. So one one thing
that's been going viral is a lab boobu side by
side with an illustration of pazzuzu that is implying like,

(55:31):
this is what pazuzu has always looked like, This is
the this is actually the illustration that's in the Bible,
and it's picture. Oh, Pazuzu in the Bible is in
the Bible for sure, Uh it's not not. Yeah, yeah,
So the drawing that they've made to like look like
an ancient etching is actually just a I generated and

(55:53):
the smiling Pazuzu was clearly specifically designed to look like
one of the dolls. So yeah, and when you look
at what the pazuzu like ancient art that depicts Pazuzu,
it it looks like the face from the Exorcist, which
is scary, but does not look like a labuobu. People

(56:13):
are saying that the artist who originally created the labuobuo
was drawing on Norse mythology. So if you're a Christian
who believes that anything that's not Christianity is evil and
like you know, pagan who calls everything that's not Christian pagan,

(56:34):
then there you might have an argument. But in that case,
literally everything, including most of the traditions around Christmas are
our pagan.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
And the Santa is also the devil. Two yes, but I.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
Mean those kinds of Christians typically do keep it a
buck in that way.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
Were Oh yeah, but I'm just saying that's who you're
that's who you're getting in with them and my seven
year old.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
What is what's the what's the resale market like for
a little boo boo JP.

Speaker 6 (57:06):
So okay, so let's talk about it.

Speaker 10 (57:08):
It's it depends on what what what you're going for?

Speaker 6 (57:12):
Right now?

Speaker 10 (57:13):
What I know is that the I D there's one
called big into Energy.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
It is the I D version. It is a black one.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
What the big what Big into energy?

Speaker 6 (57:24):
It's a black one.

Speaker 10 (57:25):
That is a it's only one in seventy two people
get it when you do a blind box that one's
going for at least at least four hundred to five
hundred dollars on the resale market.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
You who would possibly pay that much for just some fabric?
And oh, yeah, I've done that for shoes before.

Speaker 6 (57:42):
Yeah, I've done it for other I have a brand.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
New you get a pair of boos you can wear, right?

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Are they red bottoms? Like my real lab boos?

Speaker 10 (57:51):
Right?

Speaker 6 (57:51):
Real? But yeah, so that one.

Speaker 10 (57:56):
There's also another brown one from the Macaroon series that's
also a blind box item, and that one can probably
run you somewhere between one hundred to two hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Okay, do you go outside with your little boo boos?

Speaker 4 (58:08):
Are using them as I see them as bag charms.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
I see some people who just have them stacked on
a rack and they're like, look at my children.

Speaker 6 (58:15):
Yeah, well, I mean yes and no.

Speaker 10 (58:17):
So I have four behind me that just kind of
sit there at five actually that sit behind me, and
then I have another six or seven that are upstairs
on my different bags that I have. I have a
whole bunch of different Louis bags that I and I.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Knew we came to the right place. I knew we
came to the right place.

Speaker 6 (58:32):
I kin have some. They're all color coordinated.

Speaker 10 (58:35):
So whatever color my bag is is the color of
the that I have.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Do they match your nails, because your nail game.

Speaker 6 (58:41):
Do not match well?

Speaker 10 (58:42):
Yes, I have two that match my nails. Those are
from the Big One. Those are from the Big Into Energy.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
Next, next question, JP, how long have you been possessed
by satan as a result of surrounding yourself by so
many demonic codes of it?

Speaker 6 (58:55):
It was when I came out right.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
There, thanks child. Connection.

Speaker 6 (59:02):
Yeah, the connection is.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
If we get Cannie Cameron on on to just like
pull this clip and put it on her podcast, that
would actually be tremendous for us.

Speaker 6 (59:13):
The reason, yeah, that that gainess is the reason why
the boo.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
Boo is when you've seen these la boo boos that
they're trying to sell our kids, our children. Obviously, the
accusations of satanism, much like heavy metal in the late eighties,
accusations of Satanism are making the sales absolutely fucking skyrocket. Yeah,

(59:36):
because America in this case, you know, has always been
obsessed with like things that are uh, you know a
little bit evil and demonic, but also we love a
fucking cursed doll. I don't know how many times I
have to say it. Huge booming eBay market for haunted dolls.
People have like bid over one thousand dollars for haunted
dolls right now. Annabelle, the real life doll that inspired

(59:58):
the Conjuring movies, which is a raggedy Annie doll. I believe, yeah,
Raggedy ann is touring America, and rumors that she went
missing and possibly burned down a mansion turned out to
be false. But look, I need I need leaders in
this time who are about class consciousness.

Speaker 10 (01:00:18):
So herb is that she also is the reason why
those men in Louisiana escaped from New Orleans, those ten in.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
They I absolutely believe that one was there.

Speaker 10 (01:00:31):
I don't know why she was there, but the day
that she got there is the same day that those men.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
So it sounds like she's a She's an anti capitalist,
prison is an abolitionist. Thank you, we stand, We stand
annabel I'm getting it tatted the real Annabelle.

Speaker 6 (01:00:51):
We stand a queen who knows her rights.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
I was going to get a Marcus Garvey tattoo, but
now I'm gonna get an Annabel tattle Annabel Yeah, Annabell
is a queen free into people.

Speaker 6 (01:01:02):
Sounds like Harriet Tubman if you ask.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Me, I'm sure I could rearrange some letters here to
get it to.

Speaker 10 (01:01:10):
Work with and Harriet Tubman and the Booble. Yes, that's great.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
You better watch out.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Someone will probably make that game.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
All right, that's gonna do it. For this week's weekly Zeitgeist,
please like and review the show. If you like, the
show means the world to Miles. He he needs your validation.
