There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

02:17
be here, your boy, DJ Daniel aka the Portland trail Blazer.
02:22
Hey watch out now. Happy to be here, Jack, you
02:25
work with the Portland team quite a bit. It's a
02:27
pleasure to have you. Happy to be here. Yeah, that
02:29
your AKA made me wonder are there new ways? Are
02:33
there new trends in weed smoking? I've I haven't smoked
02:37
weed in nearly a decade. I'm hearing about all this
02:41
cool stuff that the kids are doing with alcohol consumption
02:44
like that, uh, the big jug of water and vodka
02:49
and well it's the new trend in uh in weed
02:54
with the kids, it's it's still a space race in
02:57
the concentrates department. It's just about like making the the purest,
03:01
dopest dope out of these little crystals of THHC and
03:04
goopy terpenes and whatnot. But me, I stick to my
03:08
little pen, my little extract pens and the occasional j
03:11
I still like to roll one up every now and then.
03:13
So pardon me for kicking at old school compared to
03:15
the new kids with their fancy puff coos and whatnot.
03:17
But um, yeah, it's you know, I still kick at
03:21
old school. Does anybody go in the opposite direction and
03:23
being like I want the gentlest high, yes, yes, please,
03:27
I don't want to be violently high. That was always
03:30
the thing that I was back when I smoked weed,
03:33
like you never knew what you were gonna get. I
03:35
guess I also didn't like buy my own weed. I
03:37
wasn't a fair connoisseur of any sorts. I would just
03:39
smoke weed with other people, and in that practice, you
03:43
never know what you're gonna get. And I would sometimes
03:46
just find myself on another planet, you know, without intending
03:49
to be there, brother A, I feel you, b there
03:53
is literally a company that is not paid advertising. But
03:55
I just happened to listen to the Doughboys and they
03:57
talk about it all the time. You ever heard a
03:58
diet smoke literally called diet smoke, and it's supposed to
04:02
be like low grade weed. That's for the every smoker
04:05
who is like, you know, I'm not really trying to
04:08
blast off and disappear from this, you know, from this
04:11
mortal coil. I'm kind of just trying to like be
04:13
a a little bit high. And there is stuff for that.
04:16
So that is absolutely a market that is totally worth
04:18
pursuing if anybody is interested in getting back into cannabis
04:21
but doesn't want to buy three hundred dollars worth of
04:24
bombs and you know right yeah, Terpenes, Well, well, Daniel,
04:30
we are thrilled to be joined. It's been enough of
04:32
our bullshit chit chat. Let's get down to it. We're
04:35
thrilled to be joined by one of our favorite guests
04:37
here on the Daily's like guys, a talented writer, host, actress.
04:40
Welcome back to this show. The brilliant and talented Danny Fernando. Yes,
04:47
my Eddie Bals, I fuck with edibles, man, that's my Yeah.
04:56
So I want to general I think a lot of
04:58
people want to general high. That I don't understand is
05:01
how people can get high and then write, like who
05:04
wants to write when you're I want to take a
05:06
bath and go to bed, Like I need like a
05:09
red bull to write. I need the opposite, I think, please, Yeah,
05:13
I think were there are certain people for whom you know,
05:18
you know, there's the thing with like add medication. For
05:21
people who don't need it, it affects them like speed,
05:24
and for people who do need it, it actually calms
05:27
them down. Like I think there's a similar thing that
05:30
happens with weed, Like I know people who used to
05:34
like need to get high before class to like do
05:38
as well as they possibly could. I just think that
05:40
there's it totally affects people in different ways. For me,
05:43
it gave me a panic attack and I just kept going,
05:47
just kept being like, nah, I want to be cool.
05:49
I'm gonna keep giving myself a panic attack. But yeah,
05:53
writing well high the times that I tried that was
05:58
non productive. I will say I'm similarly unproductive when it
06:02
comes to being high, I can. I can smoke weed
06:04
and play Ultimate Frisbee and that's about as far as
06:07
hilarious mining active activity plus weed can get. Other than that,
06:11
it's on the couch watching Succession or something. Yeah, Succession
06:16
seems stressful to me, honestly. You know, I did a
06:20
couple episodes Super Blaze, and I had to like watch
06:22
them again because I was like, I think I've missed
06:23
the whole business transaction worms. Who's this old guy again?
06:30
I'm told me to fuck off. How much of the lingo,
06:33
the business lingo, are we supposed to understand because I
06:36
feel like they throw a bunch in there that's probably
06:39
like a reference to something they've worked out in the
06:41
writer's room, but like they're not counting on us knowing
06:44
what the fuck they're talking about. I feel like it excites.
06:47
It's the same thing with like all of their La
06:48
slash Hollywood references. Like I just I know that it
06:51
excites the groups that it excites. And I wrote on
06:54
a similar show that had like a big business aspect,
06:58
and we we had like a business someone that that's
07:03
their job that went through all of the scripts to
07:07
kind of make it sound like we actually knew what
07:09
the fuck we were talking about. Business consultant. Yeah, business consultant.
07:14
There you go. Wow, Sorry, I am high. So I
07:17
mean usually business consultant is the most general job that
07:21
you can possibly tell someone you do. Like that's that
07:24
must be the number one job that CIA agents tell
07:27
people they do because they know it will immediately turn
07:29
people's brain off. But also kind of true. Yeah, clearly
07:34
you know McKinsey. It's like McKenzie, but not yeah, because
07:37
I also kill people exactly. All right, Danny, we're gonna
07:41
get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
07:43
we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things.
07:45
We're talking about. Your boy Daniel has brought some four
07:49
twenty news the Bipartisan Hope Act as being reintroduced by AOC,
07:55
among others, so we'll talk about that. We'll talk about
07:59
how the Fox dominion settlement is being covered or not
08:04
covered specifically by Fox News, by Newsmax and o An,
08:09
both of whom have pending lawsuits with them. We might
08:12
get into some great Pacific garbage patch. I think we
08:16
shouldn't call it great. I think it's bad. But we'll
08:21
we'll talk about that big old garbage patch between California
08:24
and Hawaii. We might talk about So there's a there's
08:27
a major League Baseball story, but I promise you if
08:32
we talk about it, it won't be a story about baseball.
08:34
It will be a story about drinking in public. One
08:38
of the top two ways to drink is being affected
08:41
by these new Major League Baseball rules because they've sped
08:44
up the time the game takes, which also reduces the
08:48
amount of beer that can be consumed. Or you would
08:52
think it would, but baseball fans are dedicated, if nothing else,
08:58
to getting ship faced. We'll talk about that and that
09:02
pillow humping scene. Were you were you guys familiar with
09:05
this pillow humping scene that happened in Obsession, not to
09:10
be confused with Obsessed. There's a new Netflix show called Obsession.
09:14
Not Yeah, it's it's a combination of the Beyonce movie
09:18
and the show Succession. No, it's about a hot shot
09:22
surgeon who becomes obsessed with his son's mysterious girlfriend eventual fiance.
09:29
And there is a showstopper of a scene that you
09:32
might hear people referring to. So we'll we'll give you
09:35
the proper context for that, because it has seems to
09:38
have thoroughly weirded out the internet, which is just in
09:43
my middle school fan fiction. Who has pillow? I know, right, y'all,
09:52
but I don't. I don't want to see fifty something
09:55
men doing it personally. That's I guess. It depends on
09:59
which fifty something man it is. Oh, Pascal, Pascal might
10:04
pull it off. He did, no, Actually he did? You
10:07
see his Esquire? Was it Esquire? You gotta, I'll send
10:10
it to y'all. He did hump a couch. He was
10:13
humping that couch he was. Um, I might have saved
10:16
it on my Instagram pardon new wallet, Google, all of
10:20
that plenty more. But first, Danny, we like to ask
10:24
eric guests, what is something from your search history? Okay? Um?
10:30
My search history had how to predict when something will
10:33
happen using tarot. Okay, so I've had this is wild one.
10:41
I feel like I've seen every major psychic out here,
10:43
including Oprah psychic who I love and no, I will
10:45
not give you the info for anyone that dams me.
10:49
But um, I have now seen four different psychics who
10:53
have told me that my future partner is from New
10:56
York and like they didn't know, Like I did not
10:59
tell them anything. I didn't tell them. One of them.
11:01
One of the most recent psychic I saw was from Miami.
11:04
I literally gave her like my nickname, like I didn't
11:08
put my info for her to like look me up.
11:10
But she was reading my cards and she said, I
11:13
see that your partners from New York. And I've had
11:17
four other people tell me that. So I also tweeted
11:20
something funny or I was like, man, I can't believe
11:22
my partner has ever had good Mexican food. That's crazy.
11:26
You know, a lot of New Yorkers got mad. But anyways,
11:29
I keep hearing this. I've heard this for years. So
11:31
I was trying to like figure out when when. And
11:35
I think it's this summer, y'all. I think it's okay,
11:39
this is the summer of New York. Just like I
11:41
know a lot of people are moving to New York.
11:43
I don't know it. See it seems like a good
11:45
summer for New York. I am curious what the psychics
11:49
ruling would be on. So they say, Okay, you're going
11:53
to meet someone from New York. Then you go and
11:56
with your many many followers, you in Salt all New
12:00
Yorkers does it? Does that still hold up? Like or
12:04
are they like, well, you just sabotage it. You're like no,
12:08
I was kind of talking shit and a lot of
12:10
like Latino New Yorkers wrote me. Like my friend Christian
12:14
Mercados in New York, he's a filmmaker, wrote me, and
12:17
like several other people were like they were like stop
12:19
messing around, like stop you know, playing games like there
12:22
are there is good Mexican food here. So I was
12:24
just kind of like, you know, making fun of them.
12:26
It's not as good as here, sorry, not as good
12:28
as here. But I was just kind of teasing them.
12:31
So yeah, good natured shit talking. Yes, good natured shit talking,
12:36
I might say, flirting with your eventual there you know, Yeah,
12:41
that is. I've been to one psychic in the last
12:44
five years, just like went to the boardwalk Ocean City,
12:48
New Jersey. Shout out, shout out, Ocean City, New Jersey.
12:51
But I like it's kind of a zultar atmosphere, like
12:56
bit the place where big, the big mirror happens, and
13:01
so I think that's kind of what I was looking for.
13:03
But they also were like big things happening in New
13:07
York for you and your wife. They actually said my
13:11
wife was going to meet her partner in New York.
13:13
But yeah. I was like, but we're They were like yeah, yeah,
13:18
move it along here. But I just like seeing a
13:21
bunch of them to see if they all say the
13:22
same thing, and a lot of times they do, and
13:24
I'm like that makes me a little and I only
13:26
see ones that come heavily recommended. It has to be
13:29
like from a friend who was like, she accurately predicted
13:32
this exact thing that happened in my life. And then
13:35
I'm like, oh, I want to I want to talk
13:36
to them. So there you go. There you go. Is
13:41
what is something you think is overrated? Okay, y'all this
13:45
these Stanley cups? Have y'all heard of these things? And
13:52
no Stanley Tumblr mug somebody listening right now is drinking
13:57
has one in their car, like with them right now.
14:00
So my aunt got me one of these big Stanley
14:02
Tumblr mugs for Christmas and I remember thinking like, oh,
14:05
that's cool, that's nice, like thank you, and my brother
14:07
and sister in law, who I opened it up in
14:09
front of where like, oh she got you a Stanley
14:12
I was like, what everywhere I go people comment on this.
14:15
My friend that I was facetiming with, she was like, oh,
14:18
you have you have a Stanley And there's like TikTok's
14:21
on them. There's like TikTok's telling folks where you can
14:23
get them when Target restocks them. These are like gold.
14:26
What I have in my hand right here is gold.
14:29
And so I was talking to a girlfriend of mine
14:30
and she was like, yeah, all all the white girlies
14:32
love them. It's like Mom's hority sisters. And so I
14:36
was googling. Literally, if you type in like why is
14:39
Stanley mug, It'll come up like so popular. And I
14:42
had no idea that I have the Willy Wonka Golden
14:44
Ticket Stanley mug. So Stanley they look similar to what
14:50
I would associate with Yeddie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they
14:54
have a different logo stamped on them. So I'm assuming
14:58
they're just like some up market version of like a
15:02
Yetty tumbler where it's the the it'll stay your drink
15:06
will stay cold for a month. Yeah, what's the happy
15:12
I also think it's the straw. I know that sounds crazy,
15:14
and I'm sure that Yetti also has them, but there's
15:16
something about the fact that they have they come with
15:18
a straw. That's like a really big deal. But like,
15:21
I don't know if y'all know, water like water TikTok
15:24
is a big deal and it's a little a little chaotic.
15:29
It'll be like I was watching it. I'm trying to
15:31
carefully choose my words here. There was this woman it's chaotic.
15:34
There was this woman who it's like a completely different culture. You.
15:38
There was this woman who was like, this is how
15:40
I make my water. It's my cotton candy water. I
15:43
start with four pumps of vanilla and it's like vanilla
15:45
syrup that you would yes, vanilla syrup that you would
15:48
see at Starbucks. And then I add the maple syrup,
15:52
and then I add three pumps of this blue like yes,
15:54
and that's what she needs to drink water. And so
15:58
there's all of those like water, how to make like
16:01
cotton candy. It's for grown adults who cannot drink water
16:04
and have to have it taste like an otter pop essentially. Yeah, wow, Yeah,
16:09
I can't tell if I'm like, you know, low key
16:13
disgusted or I'm mad at myself for not thinking of
16:15
plussing up my water. Like, why am I not plussing
16:17
up my water? This is probably because you want to
16:19
keep your teeth that right, Hey, you're telling me four
16:25
pumps of vanilla cream would have been bad for my teeth.
16:28
Never never could have thought. But anyways, they do it
16:30
in these Stanley cups. I don't know, y'all tweet at
16:33
me and let me know your Stanley cup, Like, let
16:35
me see your Stanley cups? I guess I don't know.
16:38
Stanley got a lot of products, by the way, I'm
16:40
on their website right now, and the offering is vast.
16:43
We're talking all sorts of Stanley materials here, and I
16:47
kind of want a cup. I'm not gonna lie. They
16:49
got good colors. I like. I like being a part
16:51
of a movement. So you're a tastemaker, Danny. This is
16:55
this is big right now. This is big for Stanley.
16:58
I will just say this is also interesting because stan
17:02
the Stanley Cup has been a brand for decades because
17:07
of hockey. I'm just wondering, like, do I go and
17:11
incorporate a company that makes the Super Bowl and is
17:15
the best bowl in the business, And shit, I'm sure
17:20
the NFL would sue. You'd have to call you directly
17:23
off of me. I would be in the courtroom with
17:25
no pants on. You'd have to be called you have
17:27
to call your company the Big Game. Unfortunately, this bowl
17:32
is called the Big Game for some reason. I have
17:35
a have a mystery for if there's any water talk
17:40
TikTok water water water talk out there, water heads, but
17:45
it sounds like water talk is like the name of
17:48
a segment on the Most Boring podcast. But I so
17:52
I had a Tumblr thing. It was like a free giveaway,
17:58
you know, thing like what we're talking about is Dailey Cup.
18:00
But it was it was like branded from I think
18:03
a hospital that my wife worked for. At some point,
18:07
I had water on my bedside table, tap water overnight,
18:11
left it there the next morning. Usually I'll like clean
18:13
it out and you know, get my water for the
18:16
for the next day. But I left it there the
18:17
next morning, and then when I took the lid off
18:20
the next night, it smelled like someone had farted into
18:24
my water cup. And I'm trying. I still, like haven't
18:29
been able to figure out what happened, Like does does
18:33
the water contain methane? Like is there am I just
18:38
was I having a small stroke. I don't know but
18:41
I'm curious if anyone else's experience this leaving water enclosed
18:46
overnight and then it smells just awful the next day
18:52
for some reason. I do know that sometimes when I'm
18:55
using the hot water, like in the sink, it doesn't
18:59
smell like the city's water. And that's not hard to
19:02
It was taps. Yeah, it was taps. So maybe there's
19:05
just yeah, caught a bad section of the of the
19:10
piping or something. I don't know. That sounded gross. I
19:13
don't know what that phenomenon is, because it absolutely exists.
19:16
You leave a cup of water out for a day,
19:17
it goes from water to gross and there's no you know,
19:21
it's undeniable. I assume that. I assume that was like
19:26
dust and stuff landing in it, and but this was
19:30
enclosed and the whole thing just smell bad. Maybe I
19:34
don't know. I'm going to get pretend science here for
19:37
a second, and I have a feeling there's something about
19:39
like evaporation or water, like escaping its liquid form and
19:44
then turning into its vapor form on the inside of
19:47
the glass and then turning back into water and dripping
19:50
back in, Like maybe in something in that process it
19:52
makes it gross, but like, that's all I can think of.
19:55
It mimics the inside of a stomach, and therefore the
19:59
gases they're created smell. I don't know, it's it's very confusing.
20:03
There's somebody maybe I slept, walked and farted into my
20:06
ex cup. I don't know. You do do that? I
20:08
do do that? I Danny, what is something you think
20:12
is underrated? Um? I don't know if this is considered
20:15
a good movie or not. Like I have no concept
20:18
of what's good from the nineties because I was a
20:20
kid then. But I think The Mask is a really
20:23
good movie. And like when I Daniel, why wait you
20:28
kind of were you? You shook your head in a
20:30
way that's quite the opposite. I was saying, like, that
20:34
is the movie. I'm sorry, I apologize. No, no no, no, please, no,
20:37
Oh my gosh, you you're allowed to have your opinions.
20:39
I was just was like, wait, you're already disagreeing. Quite
20:42
the opposite. I love the Mask. No, but like I
20:45
was looking at one, I loved it. I feel like
20:47
it shaped a lot of the shaped a lot. Jim
20:50
Carrey himself has shaped a lot of my comedic when
20:53
I was growing up, a lot of but like the
20:55
rotten tomatoes, Like here's one from Ciscle of Ciscle and
20:58
Ebert carrying his aggress over by our back, but this
21:02
time he is better used as an ingredient instead of
21:05
as the plot. And then like, isn't it this is
21:09
from Entertainment Weekly, This is rotten. He gave it rotten.
21:12
Carrie now has the clout to find a vehicle worthy
21:15
of his hyperactive goof gooniness. When he does, we'll see
21:18
if he's truly a juster of our time or simply
21:21
the moron of the moment. And this was from twenty ten.
21:25
Those are the two options, either a generational comedic talent
21:28
or an idiot. But okay, so I don't know why
21:32
I went down a rabbit hole, as you do. And
21:34
so he got so in nineteen ninety four he was
21:37
paid three hundred and fifty thousand for ace venturaf so
21:40
to be the star. That's that's pretty low, but you
21:42
know whatever, it was ninety four. Then off of that
21:46
he was then paid fifteen million to appear in the
21:50
sequel for Aseventura When Nature Calls, So he went from
21:54
three hundred and fifty thousand too. He became such a
21:57
big star in those like two years that he was
21:59
then paid fifteen million. That's wild. Also, for all you
22:04
mathads out there, I just looked up what three hundred
22:06
and fifty thousand and it was in nineteen ninety four money,
22:09
and that's seven hundred and twelve thousand, which for like
22:14
a movie star in a movie still feels like not
22:17
a wild amount of money. Like so like paying someone
22:21
to be the star of a like a I don't know,
22:24
like a wide release comedy, seven hundred and twelve thousand
22:27
doesn't feel like a wild amount of money. I mean,
22:29
it is, of course a lot of money, no doubt,
22:31
but like that still feels like completely within the realm
22:33
of possibility of not that much comparatively, Yeah, fifteen million,
22:37
though they didn't know if that movie was going to
22:40
be direct to video or not, you know, like that's
22:43
when when they made the original it's been true and
22:45
then immediately discovered that they had like a phenomenon on
22:49
their hands. I was just going to say in the
22:51
Mass Cameron Diaz so high. It's just so smoking high.
22:57
I just there's some really pivotal women from the nineties
23:00
that I was like, oh, yeah, I'm bisexual. Her and
23:03
Soma Hiak and anything but man, early like nineties, not
23:07
even in Why Am I Blanking? Like for me, it
23:09
was like fools Russian when she's like she's just like
23:12
smoking hot and and Matthew Perry's like, how did I
23:15
get this woman? And I'm like, exactly, Yeah, classic nineties
23:19
of the dumpy white dude with the absolutely drop dead
23:23
gorgeous woman. So anyways, but the Mask, I think it's
23:27
really it's really funny. I think it's really funny. I
23:30
think it holds up and it's also a dark Horse
23:32
comics And with all this ip I'm like, cant. I
23:34
know there was like Son of the Mask and all
23:36
the other stuff, but like, is he I feel like
23:38
he could? I feel like he could have his own universe. Yeah,
23:41
we could bring me back, bring him into the comic
23:44
book world. That was. It was such a wild time
23:48
when like ace Ventura came out, like you said, it
23:50
had no idea how I was going to do, paid
23:52
him three hundred thousand dollars and immediately he was his
23:55
own film genre like that. Yeah, that was a period
23:57
I talk about, like there was a period when I
23:59
was young when like Bruce Willis movies was my favorite
24:02
film genre. And like there there was definitely a period
24:06
around this time when, like Jim Carrey movies was every
24:09
kid I knew's favorite movie, favorite genre of movie. Yeah,
24:14
what a run whatever, All right, let's take a quick
24:17
break and we'll come back and talk about some news.
24:30
And we're back, and the Bipartisan Hope Act to Encourage
24:37
Expunging Weed Records is back. It's being reintroduced. Yeah, so well,
24:46
Funny story is the four twenty episode. And I was like,
24:48
gotta find a weed story man, and found this wonderful website,
24:53
Marijuana Moment. And let me tell you something, if you
24:55
want to find your weed news, you gotta be following
24:58
Marijuana Moment, baby. But more importantly, I was happy to see,
25:02
if anything, a bipartisan effort to help people expunge their
25:05
weed records. We know this is something that has been
25:08
you know, expunging weed crimes has been a has been
25:12
like a countrywide push for probably the last like ten
25:15
years of people being like, as legal weed is something
25:18
that is more widely accepted across the country's more states
25:21
are legalizing cannabis, either for medical purposes or for recreational use.
25:26
The idea of expunging people for really petty possession crimes
25:31
is just like a necessary next step. Also a big
25:34
fan of Ben and Jerry's for really leading the charge
25:37
on this shout out one of my favorite ice creams.
25:39
But recently, earlier this week, the Hope Act was reintroduced.
25:43
The Hope Act, standing for Harnessing Opportunities by Pursuing Expungement,
25:47
brought forward by Representative Dave Joyce, a Republican from Ohio,
25:52
and our girl AOC Alexandrocastio Cortez from New York. It's
25:56
a bill that's basically incentivizing states to to speed up
26:01
the expungient process because right now, it's expensive, it takes
26:05
a while, and the process is really unclear. And this
26:08
is the part that Jack noted that I definitely want
26:10
to talk about. One of the parts of the Act
26:13
is to make public how the expungement process works, where
26:20
it happens, and just like basically a how to on Like,
26:23
if you want to get your record expunge, this is
26:25
how to do it. And the fact that it is
26:27
taking this Act to make that public is kind of like,
26:31
just put it on a fucking website. Just put it
26:35
on a free public website. Is they're just having to
26:38
say that like that. That was so revealing to me
26:42
because it's like that means because that that doesn't cost
26:45
anything really, it cost like minimum server hosting. These people,
26:50
these these states already have websites. It's just putting a
26:53
page on the website. You're already paying for the hosting.
26:55
Get your get your you know your person who's running
26:58
the friggin I don't even know what server they're using,
27:00
but like whatever they're using to write one extra page
27:03
of oh yeah, this is how it's done. But this,
27:06
I think this is revealing because it shows that someone
27:10
is making money off of that not being there, right,
27:13
and that like we talk a lot about and I've
27:16
seen a lot of people in the news talk about
27:19
how much incarceration costs the public and taxpayer dollars. But
27:26
the dirty secret is someone is making that money. Like
27:29
that money is being paid to people in the prison
27:32
industrial complex. Like in the same way that like when
27:35
we gauk at like the amount that is spent on
27:39
defense and like all these weapons that don't ultimately like
27:43
the the US doesn't ultimately need like someone that there
27:47
are private people who are becoming billionaires off of that ship. Yeah,
27:52
so that's why it's happening. That's why you need a
27:55
fucking bill to just be like, put this web page
27:58
where people can find it, please, Yeah, and speaking to
28:02
the someone's making money off of this part. Another part
28:05
from the article is that the legislation would require the
28:08
Attorney General to basically carry out a study that shows
28:13
exactly how much this costs and how much people who
28:17
run the prison industrial compacts are making off of each
28:19
person off of cannabis conviction of cannabis convictions, you know,
28:23
the financial costs for states that incarceory people for these things.
28:26
It's like, you know, it's unclear how much it's costing
28:30
you know, the public to help keep people in jail
28:34
for buying an eighth and it's like this, you know,
28:37
it's really it's you know, it's ridiculous. And I'm glad
28:41
that this is being pushed forward. However, and will say,
28:44
the fact that it is being reintroduced suggests that it's
28:47
not past the first time. This is obviously another effort
28:50
to get people to, you know, to to massage into
28:53
the situation of we need to be more clear and
28:56
transparent about how expondement it works, what it costs to
28:59
even keep people in jail for this nonsense. And while
29:03
it may not be a step towards or while it
29:05
may not be federal legalization, it is at least a
29:08
step towards increasing the public sentiment towards like how would
29:11
you like to not pay this much more money to
29:14
keep people in jail for literally nothing? So it's like, yeah,
29:18
you know, hopefully it's a movement on the needle at
29:20
least a little bit. Yeah, I would say, like I'm
29:24
being adjacent to this, and then I microdose shrooms, and
29:27
I feel like we're behind, Like I still hear stories
29:31
of people being arrested at airports for having their shrooms,
29:34
and I use them for depression, which heavily recommend and
29:37
I've talked about extensively, but like it scares me the
29:40
idea that I might be filming in a different location
29:43
where they're illegal, right, and that I wouldn't be able
29:46
to carry them with me when it's something that I
29:48
rely on for my mental health totally. So it just
29:51
feels like we're still lagging in so many of these
29:55
states and situations. And I want to say this kind
29:57
of reminds me this website kind of minds me of
30:00
what I wish they would do with our taxes. It's
30:02
just obviously someone makes money off of that too. And
30:05
we just had, you know, tax season. Some people are
30:08
still in the thick of it, and like it's insane
30:10
to me that I'm like, you literally know how much
30:12
I owe, Like, just tell me and I will pay it.
30:16
But they obviously make money industry. Yeah, there's an entire industry.
30:21
How different. And then when you don't pay they they
30:25
or they you don't pay the right amount, they tell you, hey,
30:26
actually you owe this much. It was like, thank you,
30:28
thank you for telling me, because you knew you were
30:31
just giving us busy work. That's that's what I feel
30:34
like I keep running up to, running up against, is
30:36
they're giving us busy work, like to keep us busy too,
30:40
and then they're like, no, this was actually the answer.
30:43
Thanks for showing your work on that. Now you didn't
30:45
get it right jail, Yeah, yeah, And it's it's just
30:50
instructive that it's been legalized too in many places to
30:55
sell it. But we can't get this Hope Act past
31:00
or can't get any traction for it because selling it
31:03
makes people money, but getting people out of prison doesn't
31:07
make people money, and in fact, have people in prison
31:10
makes prison industrial complex billionaires think really quickly quickly back
31:16
to Danny's point, I think it also just begs the
31:19
question in terms of how far are we behind on
31:21
the positive effects of other things that we considered to
31:24
be like narcotics or or you know, bad drugs, etc.
31:28
When it's like just being able to do research on
31:30
these things and you know, provide solutions for people who
31:33
really need them, I understand we're facing we are you know,
31:36
reaching a similar point with ketamine and how ketamine is
31:39
also like you know, in certain doses, is super helpful
31:42
for people suffering from all sorts of different, you know,
31:44
different things in their lives. And it's just, you know,
31:47
it's it is continually disappointing how we are trying to
31:51
push things that could ultimately help people and it gets
31:54
hampered up by moneymaking when when in fact, when in fact,
31:58
if we were to pursue these things as an into
32:00
they themselves would also make a lot of money. It's
32:03
just maybe to take a little bit of time to
32:05
do a little R and D to see how maybe
32:08
microdoc and mushrooms is actually super duper helpful and that's
32:11
a whole other industry that you could just create out
32:14
of that. And yet it's like, no, we have to
32:15
live with these archaic ideas of how these drugs are
32:17
bud and it's just it's silly. It is very So
32:20
that's wild to me because it's i mean, the same
32:21
thing we talk about weed, but literally of the earth.
32:23
It's just so it's insane to me that we have
32:27
regulated or made it illegal things that you can literally grow. Yes,
32:31
but I do want to say, have done clinical ketamine
32:34
and didn't add a doctor's office? Yeah, yeah, I mean
32:38
there's kind of like that that is one that there
32:40
is here in la you can do that no other places, sure,
32:43
sure there Yeah, that ketamine is one where there has
32:47
been a lot of progress made and like you can
32:49
do it in a clinical setting, but also there's still
32:52
a bunch of restrictions around it and it's not as
32:57
you know, up and up and like easy and they're
33:00
for it makes it more likely that people will use
33:02
it in ways that are not as beneficial. So like
33:07
just going strong in the direction of research and finding
33:13
healthy contexts where people can actually use this Like MDMA
33:17
I think is the the next one that is really
33:21
getting a lot of attention in the research community, but
33:26
very slow. I've been doing a lot of personal research
33:28
on that and all the other ways I go to
33:30
and let me tell you something, the euphoria is unmatched,
33:34
and I don't know, I think everybody else should, you know,
33:36
take take a page out that and experience it. But
33:38
they like it's being described as like a wonder drug
33:41
when it comes to PTSD, all right, but like actually
33:46
doing taking it and then having a conversation with a
33:50
trained therapist, like you're just like breaking down all these
33:53
barriers and getting to things that usually without the therapeutic
33:59
you of MDMA like, are pretty hard to get to.
34:03
I just forget, like how different our jobs in world
34:06
are from the rest of the world. Because when I
34:09
would take shrooms and then go to my writer's room,
34:11
and then my showrunner was like, oh, I want to
34:13
know what shrooms you're taking. So then she started taking
34:15
them and got her family, like her mom and dad
34:17
to start taking them. And I'm like, in any other setting,
34:19
we would be drug tested and I would be fired,
34:22
you know, But we're in a creative industry where they're like, oh,
34:25
that helps your brain, Like I want some of that
34:28
where it's not seeing I remember this MTV show I
34:31
worked on. This was before weed was like completely legal,
34:34
but that our showrunners had like a big bong and
34:37
would smoke like during lunch. And I'm just like, this
34:39
is such a different world than Frisco, Texas, where I
34:42
came from, where I you know, went to high school,
34:45
and we and people are being like drug tested for
34:47
these things that actually do really help folks with their depression,
34:50
with their attention. What I was going to say is
34:52
shrooms opposite of what we started talking about today with weed.
34:57
For me, it's an upper so and I don't have
35:01
any Like I don't come down, I guess, is what
35:03
I would say. Yeah, I can take it and then write,
35:06
is what I meant, Whereas normally with most edibles, I
35:10
just want to go to sleep. Yeah, but those are
35:11
also the strains I know that I'm doing. I don't
35:14
need education on it for anyone that wants to leave
35:18
the mansions alone, everybody. Yeah, Actually, Jenny, some information that
35:23
I think you might find useful from the subject. All Right,
35:27
Newsmax and OA N are avoiding this. It's basically like
35:32
a lot of people are saying t weird because this
35:35
Fox settlement is arguably the biggest media story of the year.
35:38
It's a lot of money, seven and eighty seven point
35:40
five million dollars that they had to settle. I don't
35:43
know if it's going to bankrupt them, but it's it hurts.
35:47
We got a bunch of great leaks from the lawsuit.
35:50
I wish we would have been able to see it
35:52
in public court. But again, this is the problem with
35:56
counting on the US justice system or corporates to fight
36:00
our battles for us. But you know, a good blunt
36:04
instrument for shaking loose some interesting details like that Tucker
36:08
Carlson doesn't believe any of the shit he's saying, like
36:11
we have him in text messages saying like this z
36:14
all bullshit and Trump is a disaster for him and
36:17
the Republican Party. So there's also two other pending lawsuits
36:21
with Dominion suing OAN and Newsmax, as well as Patrick Byrne,
36:27
the former Overstock CEO who appeared on On as an
36:30
expert and spread misinformation about Dominion in the twenty twenty election.
36:35
And so they are not reporting on this Fox News settlement.
36:40
One spokesperson for I think it was O N. Came
36:44
out very confidently and was like Newsmax issued a confident
36:48
statement claiming that the case against them is materially different
36:51
than the one involving Fox, but the only difference seems
36:54
to be that they kept going like the Fox kind
36:58
of backed off of it after a little while once
37:00
they got sued and Newsmax and O an, we're just
37:03
like strong and wrong the whole time on claiming that
37:08
the twenty election was stolen. So we'll be interested. They
37:12
seem like actual actually in danger of being put out
37:16
of business with a similar sized settlement, So be interesting
37:20
to see. Yeah, you won't hear about it anywhere on
37:24
Newsmax or O No, No, it just you know, I
37:28
feel like in general, settlements are always a little you know,
37:33
I can understand in certain situations, while the idea of
37:35
settling out of court is probably better for both parties
37:39
in certain situations. But when it's like when you were
37:41
settling such an enormous lawsuit that directly affects the outcome
37:45
of the politics and the and the world, that would
37:49
affect hundreds of millions of people, I feel like you
37:52
shouldn't just be allowed to swipe it under the rug.
37:56
For however much money. Like, I want every detail to
37:59
come out about why they settled, what the what? You know,
38:02
I want every single detail to be known to everybody
38:05
so that they have to stand by what they settled
38:08
for and why. And I'm sure that there is a
38:10
way that you can personally seek that out, but there
38:14
has to be a widely public I mean, like, you know,
38:16
this almost sounds like I don't know. I don't want
38:18
this to be further applied to things like which trials
38:20
or some shit like that, where it's like, well, they
38:22
were convicted of this and they settled, so now we're
38:24
going on a which hunt. But it's just like when
38:26
you affect an entire nation's worth of people with your lies,
38:29
like you have to be held to task. And just
38:32
paying seven hundred million dollars, which is of course a
38:36
lot of money, I don't think that's enough, Like I
38:38
want to know. Definitely not Yeah, yeah, definitely, that's just unfair.
38:42
It should have hurt more. I mean, they paid that
38:45
amount because it was worth it to them, yes, for
38:48
this not to happen in a public va Oh my god. Yes, yeah,
38:52
So which is bullshit? Yeah, it is bullshit. It will
38:56
be interesting to see if we can get Newsmax and
38:59
o N and just out of existence sued out of
39:02
existence sick. I was going to say, speaking of settlements,
39:07
I sent my friend this article from Gawker because I
39:09
had a blind item on a beloved um actor, which
39:12
I'll talk to you guys afterwards. And my friend was like,
39:14
Gawker's still around. Didn't realize that they still were around?
39:22
Well they went. I think they went out, like back,
39:25
they're back again. Oh but no, I was referring to
39:28
their thing with Whole Hogan, right, that's how they went under. Yes,
39:33
but they they're still reporting. So I think they went
39:37
out of business at the end of January, unfortunately. Oh
39:41
so that literally was it. Yeah, the stories one of
39:46
the last stories, unfortunately, because they had some great people
39:51
and working there, including you know, one of the hosts
39:54
of Stradio Lab and just I thought it was so
39:58
good and it was also just satisfying for them not
40:01
to be out of business, because for sure they were
40:04
put out of business by retire activist racist. Yeah, person
40:08
who used a teenagers as blood bags allegedly. So are
40:12
we still talking about Whole I'm talking about Peter Teel. Oh,
40:17
I'm sorry the whole Cogan thing to get them put
40:21
out of business. But you are you are obviously it's
40:25
your job to pay attention to the news. So I
40:27
only knew parts of that, and the only parts I
40:30
know are whole Cogan is racist and he like sued them.
40:33
That's all I knew. That's all. You're not allowed to
40:38
tell people I'm racist. Brother. Yeah. Oh, also his never mind,
40:44
let's continue, let's not talk about whole Cogian anymore. I
40:47
kind of need to hear what you want. Oh. I
40:49
was just gonna say, hey, Roy would Junior who I
40:52
love in a door? He has a really great Yeah,
40:54
shout out Roy, he has a really great It's up
40:56
on Comedy Central's website. It's part of his stand up
40:59
special where he was saying, like, y'all give trans people
41:02
such a hard time when Hulk Hogan's name is Terry,
41:06
Like he's a guy from Tampa named Terry, and y'all
41:10
have no problem. And he was like, do you think
41:13
ice Cube is really ice Cube's name? And as I
41:17
think of that next maybe it's that's just what they
41:19
want to be called. He was, I think of that
41:21
next time. Y'all are giving trans people a hard time.
41:23
So shout out to Roy for you know, being my
41:28
dead name brother Terry Terry, Okay, I mean from It's like,
41:37
you know, people do amazing things when they like are forced,
41:41
like by a circumstance or like have a really tough upbringing,
41:45
and like he came up with one of the best
41:47
fictional names of all time from the difficult circumstance of
41:51
growing up being named Terry. He's like that was his
41:56
was in his lab in the lab as a kid,
41:58
dreaming of other things his name could be other than Terry,
42:02
and he hit on a good one, whole cog. I
42:04
think that was maybe not his invention, but oh well,
42:08
there's some marketing team that's like, what do you mean
42:09
he came up with it. I also found out that
42:12
John Cena was Big Tim It just today. Yeah, that's him,
42:17
by Big Tim that was his birth name. No one's
42:24
going to believe this. How about John? Oh yeah, no,
42:28
that's better. That's better than big dam. That's funny. All right,
42:36
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
42:49
we'd back and the Great Pacific garbage Patch is now
42:54
so big and permanent that a coastal ecosystem is thriving
42:58
on it. According to scientists, this is one of those
43:01
interesting news stories that I feel like I wanted to
43:05
click on it, like with a hopeful note in my
43:10
heart of like, ah, you know, doctor Ian Malcolm was right.
43:15
Life will find a way. And then you get to
43:19
and I mean, there there are a bunch of different
43:22
animals and cnmms and stuff living on the garbage patch,
43:26
connecting themselves too, different pieces of floating plastic. But it's
43:30
not good. It's it's still really bad. Yeah. I actually
43:36
got a bunch of new information about the Pacific garbage
43:40
patch that I wasn't fully aware of, like that it's
43:44
it's mostly like a soupy microplastic pool at this point.
43:49
That's mostly what you see. It's not the floating landfill
43:54
that I think I had been imagining in my head.
43:59
We had eight million in tons a year of plastics
44:02
to it. The majority of it comes from the fishing industry.
44:05
This was one that kind of blew my mind, is
44:07
that the majority of the plastic in this Texas two
44:12
times the size of Texas garbage gyre comes from one industry.
44:18
Like it's it's not us, Like it's not it's not
44:22
your straws and like that. And it's great to like
44:25
be conscientious and like you know, recycular plastic dude, you know,
44:30
or just don't use plastics. That's all great. But I
44:33
think the way that this story got down trickles down
44:37
to me is that because of all the plastic bottles
44:41
you use, like those, every plastic bottle you used has
44:44
ended up in the middle of the Pacific on this
44:46
floating island. And it's actually one industry, the fishing industry
44:50
is responsible for at least one Texas of of the
44:56
entire garbage patch, and just nobody does like that is
45:01
something you can do something about, you know. That's that's
45:05
an industry that you can regulate in a world where
45:09
the US government actually regulated corporation. Well, I was being
45:13
from Texas. I love whenever we're used as a size
45:16
of measurement, it's the size of three texases that should
45:23
think would be the size of the United States. Yeah,
45:26
pretty much, we're three different texases. That makes a lot
45:29
of sense to me. Also, I just I don't know,
45:31
I kind of disagree slightly in that this is a
45:34
product of us, because yes, it is the fishing industry,
45:38
but we are the consumers of that. It's the same
45:40
with when we're talking about methane with cows, like that's
45:43
that's a direct correlation to the amount of meat that
45:47
we're consuming. Hey, Danny, those aren't my faults. Okay, No,
45:53
I totally agree with that, but it just it's also
45:58
the fault of like it just feels more addressable when
46:02
you realize it's a one specific industry. Basically, what I'm
46:06
saying is vegans are like not us again us, which
46:09
I'm not vegans, so but so I take I take
46:12
part responsibility, but I just feel vegans are always like, no,
46:16
we're not contributing, right except for for with almonds. I'm
46:19
paying attention, y'all. I've been that whole story about how
46:23
almonds are like destroying the world. I'm like, okay, so
46:26
everything we do, yeah, there's always horrifying stories of the
46:30
microplastics and people's blood and yeah, yeah not from my
46:35
Stanley cup though not sta Stanley Cup doesn't end up
46:41
in the Pacific garbage. Yeah, indestructible. It's indestructible. It will
46:47
be here long after humanity. That should be their tet.
46:50
Their marketing pitch will outlive it will outlive you. Yes,
46:55
all right, and then finally a baseball story that's not
46:57
a baseball story, but it is thing I'm seeing pop up.
47:01
It's always interesting when like people start sharing baseball news
47:04
and you're like, oh, you're a baseball fan. Interesting, but
47:09
that they introduced new rules this season with the goal
47:14
of speeding up the game. The most impactful is a
47:17
pitch clock, so pitchers only have fifteen to twenty seconds
47:21
to throw the ball after catching it. It has like
47:24
cut an entire hour out of like the game run time.
47:29
So it's working. But the big concern that people had
47:35
being this being America and the only important thing being
47:39
how we sell things, is how much beer are people
47:42
going to be able to sell now? Because most teams
47:45
stop selling beer after the seventh inning because they don't
47:49
want people driving home like freshly drunk. They want them
47:53
driving home like still drunk but with kind of a hangover.
47:57
I guess like three three innings is not enough guys
48:01
to no longer be drunk. I'm assuming so that people
48:05
are saying that it actually isn't cutting down on the
48:10
sale of beer somehow. Damn Yeah, people are chugging. People
48:15
are chugging. You're getting it in, you know, that's I
48:19
think baseball, more than maybe any other sport, is about
48:23
the experience of going and being in an interesting looking
48:28
place and getting drunk with your fellow humans that I
48:32
want to get out the game. I want to get
48:34
into baseball. I've never been into baseball. I don't understand it,
48:38
and I'm really jealous of not like the game. I
48:40
obviously understand the concert. I used to play softball when
48:43
I was younger, and I hated it, and I really
48:47
want I just I want to be a baseball person.
48:49
Y'all seem like you're having fun. You got your peanuts
48:52
and your hot dog and your beer, and you're out
48:54
there and you're baking in the sun and you're watching
48:57
like one thing happened every five to six minutes. And
49:02
I'm jealous. It's reminds me of golf. So I'm like,
49:05
I want to be. I'm going to force myself to
49:08
get into it because i want to be. It's like
49:10
a baseball culture here in LA is huge. It is huge. Yeah,
49:13
go doers. It is fun. I mean, I think, you know,
49:16
there's there's a certain recreation about baseball that I don't
49:18
think you necessarily get with other sports where you know,
49:22
I think as you mentioned, like sitting outside baking in
49:24
the sun, like that is unique, that is unique to baseball.
49:28
It's so much more just like hanging out and chilling
49:31
with your friends. You grab some food and just kind
49:33
of like chill and enjoy this awesome experience. And then
49:37
if the game is really close, the last half hour
49:39
of it is like the most exciting part. It just
49:41
gets so it's it's it's so much fun. You get
49:43
to chill for a little bit, then you're full of
49:44
beer and hot dogs, and you just get to go
49:47
wi old for a big home run. So it's just
49:49
I don't know, I completely agree, great recreational experience baseball. Yeah,
49:53
But so the upshot of this is that they are
49:56
turning this into an opportunity to sell even more beer,
49:59
because they're basically saying like, well, we can't. We're gonna
50:02
lose out on too many beer sales with this shortened game,
50:06
which actually isn't backed up by like they did a
50:10
bunch of test runs in minor league baseball stadiums and
50:15
the managers of those games found that concession sales were
50:18
not affected at all by the shortened games. But they
50:21
are arguing to extend the last call beyond the seventh inning,
50:26
So conceivably it will just mean selling even more beer
50:31
under the guise of maintaining the status quo, which is
50:34
pretty diabolical. I got a question, pressed, I got a question. Yeah, So,
50:38
isn't the idea of stopping selling beer at a certain
50:41
point is that people aren't getting drunk or at the
50:45
very end of the game, so that they're not leaving drunk, right, Yes,
50:49
that they're not driving away from the stadium drunk. So,
50:52
despite the fact that the game is shorter and you
50:55
have quote unquote less time to sell beer, extending the
50:59
time to el beer seems to exacerbate the problem of
51:02
people leaving the stadium drunk, right, sure, Yeah, they've just
51:07
chosen that problem as opposed to the problem of making
51:12
less money. They're like, well, you're gonna have trouble tracing
51:16
it back to any individual one of us, and we
51:18
may well, yeah, there you go. Okay, sounds good. Surely,
51:25
surely this will not go wrong at all. Yeah, I
51:27
need the narrator voice here. In two weeks, it did
51:31
it did, it did all right. And finally, there's a
51:36
scene from a Netflix show that is going viral The
51:39
show is called Obsession. It's about a hotshot surgeon who
51:43
becomes obsessed with his twenty something Sun's mysterious girlfriend come
51:47
fiance Anna or Anna, and follows them to France. And
51:53
when the couple go out for dinner, this brilliant surgeon
51:56
breaks into their hotel room, smells Anna on lenens and
52:00
proceeds to hump the pillow and people. I'm looking at
52:06
the photos and I'm enjoying it. It looks like John
52:11
Stewart is stop. That's what the photos look like to me.
52:16
I haven't watched the live action, but so this is.
52:19
But also his son's scent would be on it too, right,
52:22
Is that what we're saying? It was his son and
52:24
his daughter in law. We're staying in this bad Yeah yeah, okay,
52:27
see that's where I'm okay. My brain immediately went there.
52:30
But it's really creepy. It's not a thing that I guess,
52:34
I guess it kind of comes up in the movie
52:36
in the bedroom. But the idea of like dad with
52:40
son who he's like really into the son be like
52:45
getting laid like this is just the most specifically I've
52:50
seen that where the dead is Maybe there was like
52:54
a Nora Ephron movie that was also about this, but
52:58
it's it's a lot that they really went for it.
53:01
There's a TikTok here that says obsession scenes to skip.
53:04
If watching with your parents would be like, it wouldn't
53:07
be the whole the whole thing. Why would you watch
53:09
this series with your parents? Yeah, the whole thing. It's
53:12
just the credits run. It can be a good watch exactly.
53:16
Maybe you think that you're dead is like two into
53:19
your fiance and so you like sit sit them down
53:22
and watch this and be like this is you. This
53:25
is man. I was gonna say, is it thinks to
53:27
not watch with your parents or ways to find out
53:30
your parents are into some freaky shit? Oh right, neither
53:35
are for me? For this? Is this like number one
53:37
on there? Is it like everyone watching this right now?
53:39
Is this like number one on Netflix or something? I
53:41
don't know. One of our producers I'm not going to say,
53:43
who was like, oh my god, I just watched this.
53:46
It's we have it going viral and we also have
53:50
confirmation from inside to the Zike Gang that this is
53:54
this is being watched And yeah, I guess that was
53:58
a service that was being provided by net Flix. UK.
54:01
They were like, if you've made the parentheses questionable decision
54:06
to watch Obsession with your parents, these are the moments
54:08
you'll probably want to excuse yourself, which is kind of
54:11
brilliant marketing because then those are the moments that people
54:14
are just going to rush too. And meme so like
54:18
done the work for viewers, which is probably pretty smart.
54:23
This is like what are the other Netflix I mean,
54:26
I guess three hundred and six or five Days was
54:29
like a Netflix movie that kind of went viral. I
54:33
don't know if there were like very specific moments from that.
54:36
There was the guy with the enormous dick scene from
54:40
a Netflix show that went viral. Do you remember that?
54:44
It was like it was like a guy was jealous
54:48
of his husband or his wife's ex, and then like
54:52
his wife's ex like showed up at his gym and
54:56
just had like the biggest, the biggest, like it was
54:59
like a car tunishly big dick. And he was like,
55:02
oh what I was gonna say, that's ridiculous. Where would
55:06
someone would possibly watch something like that? Wait? What was
55:10
it called? Me? Netflix? Let me type in NETFLIXI guy
55:15
big dick. Guy's probably Oh no, you can see it
55:20
immediately okay on sex life. Is that what you were saying? Yeah,
55:24
sex slash life. Oh yeah, if you is Demos' is
55:28
dick real? Is the number one? Uh? There's I'm guessing no,
55:33
dick real. Yeah. Listener, if you type in Netflix big
55:38
dick guy that is all of the images, is this
55:40
man and it's big? Right, I'm not like, Oh, I
55:44
haven't seen it. Do you actually see it? Oh? Yeah,
55:47
yeah yeah, Oh it's all blurred out in the well.
55:50
This black bar looks very big. So yeah, the like
55:54
blurred sensor thing is going down pretty low. I don't know.
55:57
I haven't seen it. It's pretty I have child lock on.
56:00
I guess exactly. Okay, Well that's the that's the last
56:05
one and probably better one to go viral because just
56:09
watching a middle aged man hump a pillow, I get.
56:11
I can't not get until I've seen it, right, I
56:13
just I just sorry, Danny, go ahead, No, um, I'm
56:16
I have now seen the dick, and I want to
56:19
confirm for you Jack, this is a big dick. Yes,
56:23
kind of like unnaturally big dick. I also just want
56:27
to share, you know, in the process of finding the
56:29
story earlier from at Marijuana Moment, It's like when you
56:32
discover websites, you're like, of course, it's a website for that.
56:35
Scrolling halfway down the page of the Netflix Big Dick
56:38
Guy search on Google brings you to big Dick Guide
56:42
dot com and of course, like, why why would I
56:46
think that that doesn't exist? How is that not the
56:48
number one? How was that not the one website? Is
56:51
that like wiki feed for for dicks? I mean I
56:54
don't know. Yeah. The follow up question everyone had was
56:57
was the sex Life penis a prosthetic? And the answer
57:00
is yes, according to Newsweek, although Newsweek has been questionable
57:04
in their reporting. Okay, but I have from Yahoo Sports Adam.
57:09
I don't know why they're commenting. Adam Demis's friends confirm
57:14
his size wasn't quote special effects. Oh wow, and you
57:19
all know Doctor sports would not play us, so not
57:23
my Yahoo Sports. They've never led me astray. They asked,
57:28

58:55
every four twenty. And I'm going to do the great
58:58
thing of describing an image on a podcast, so fans
59:01
get ready. It's a picture of a dude smoking weed
59:06
out of a pipe, and then next to it is
59:08
the same picture, but he's wearing a party hat. And
59:11
the left one is me every day and the other
59:13
one is me on four twenty, and that is just
59:16
the fact of the matter. It's like, you know, if
59:18
everybody's celebrating, lest we forget that, that's just what we're
59:21
all doing every other day anyway. So you know, I
59:23

reins down in Castomir tweeted, yeah, officer, I was speeding
59:41
to get past the logging truck. I don't know if
59:43

59:45
and three. I've never since two thousand and three have
59:48
not driven past a logging truck without having that exact
59:52
though scary, and then Audrey Farnsworth tweeted, when I finish
59:57
a package of English muffins, I crushed the contain or
