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.

05:00
uh yeah, I like you said, like I've been knee
05:02
deep in in like just everything like Futurama and comic books. Uh.
05:06
I got this new book I'm working on, Spiderpunk that
05:08
people have been liking. It's it's it's so fun. Like

05:20
It's like I'm very stoked to like work in this
05:21
world and like basically just have a bunch of like
05:24
black and brown punks running around for a couple of
05:25
issues and then fight bad people kicking the shoot out

of Nazis and ship. Yeah, like I love it. Yeah,
05:30
give me excuse to it to to fight fascist. I'll
05:33
write it any day. Everything ready, that's cool man. How
05:37
was Jupiter? By the way, it was, it was you know,
05:40
it was a little a little anxiety inducing, But after
05:43
like thirty or seven minutes, I I've conned myself calmed down. Yeah,
05:46
I I think edibles might be I think like the
05:49
sleep weed gumming might be the move. I just I
05:51
don't think I have it in me for like chocolate
05:52
bars or like uh or like the vape pins. I
05:55
need a very small exact dose, I think to really
05:59
get my sleepy sweets. But yeah, I see, I'm I'm glad.
06:02
I took like a twelve day break because I even
06:06
like edibles. In my time, it was like criminal to
06:09
the point I was like, this is just a waste
06:11
of money and I shouldn't do this anymore. Like oh look,
06:13
I my buddy got me a chocolate bar and I
06:15
got like three pieces of it before like I went
06:17
to bed like maybe a week ago. And when I
06:19
tell you, I was like I was having a panic attack,
06:21
like I I could like fill myself reading like I was,
06:25
I was seeing ship. It was crazy like it pretty
06:27
much was it very much was. There was like tweets
06:29
that are like uh the ship and wait doing ship
06:31
and then twenty minutes like the SpongeBob like Mr krab. Yeah,
06:37
it was like that funked up from like doing anything
06:40
with weed. It was. It was crazy. I can't go back.
06:43
I'm not. Yeah, somebody replied to me talking about getting
06:48
too high and like having all the thoughts that people
06:50
were having about the James Webb pictures, like when I was,
06:54
you know, thirteen, just being like we're all space dust man,
06:59
we're also small. Somebody tweeted and said, like the you know,
07:03
the meme with the crying like squinty, bad drawn guy
07:08
versus like the elevated vang go looking guy. You know,
07:12
the crying space guy was like looking at the night
07:14
sky and makes me realize how puny and insignificant I
07:17
am on a cosmic scale, And the elevated guy was like,
07:20
I am the result of fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution.
07:24
I am a thermodynamic miracle. I am the waking universe
07:27
looking back at itself. And I was like, man, where
07:30
were you when I was thirteen? Or the one thing
07:37
I remember Joe Rogan saying about weed that I'm like, well,
07:40
that's trippy. He's like the reason you're uncomfortable, and he's
07:43
more weed. It's because you're expanding, man, because fucking you're
07:47
creating new limits for yourself, and by definition that ship
07:50
is different and jarring. I was like, oh, ship, I'm
07:55
back back when Joe Rogan was a drug podcast and
07:58
not a fucking nazi right wings Yeah, soft soft, soft
08:04
lunch for millions of fascists. I just like, I feel
08:08
like they take that I always had when I saw
08:10
like space ship, what my first thing was like, yo,
08:13
but what if out there they're looking at the same
08:16
picture but from the other side. That was my first thought.
08:20
It was I didn't get my ego death ship to
08:23
like maybe college. But yeah, my, my, my. My thought
08:25
process lately has been like man, I'm just bummed I'm
08:27
never gonna be able to meet like a forearmed alien,
08:30
Like I'm just so upset, like I'm never going to
08:31
meet like a weird like hey, you never know, man, man,
08:34
Like I would love nothing more than like cool, peaceful
08:37
aliens like that, like the Independence Day ones like just
08:39
like stop by Koreatown, like, hey, what's up, d you
08:42
want to go? Like go around the universe a couple
08:44
of days like let's do They're like, hey, man, you
08:47
know a good Korean fluid spot? I'm I got crab.
08:54
I like that better A comes and it's like, yo, man,
08:57
show me a good time. You know, some legs for
09:01
like Gorfax, it would be great, man, right, and he
09:04
pricks his like skin because he didn't he didn't use
09:06
the cracker you like hurt yourself on that crab leg.
09:12
I mean they're here, they haven't killed us yet, and
09:14
I do feel like they're doing some tourism. I think
09:17
most of their tourism is like underwater right now. So
09:20
that's yeah, I get it, man. The city is pretty cool.
09:25
I get it, bro, But come get at me, get
09:28
at zi. Yeah. All right, Well we're gonna get to
09:33
know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
09:34
we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
09:36
talking about. A couple of names are starting to get
09:39
mentioned around the subject of like, but who who would
09:43
run if BI didn't finally takes the fucking hint for
09:47
the Democratic nomination one of these I don't think I
09:50
had heard the name like two weeks ago, Pritsker, and
09:55
then and then there's the Gavin Newsom of it all.
10:00
So we're just gonna check in, so just let them
10:03
know we got our eye on on them, so that
10:06
this is an update on a story. I'm almost positive
10:08
we talked about this ship. This conservative dude who claimed
10:12
that someone painted like Joe Biden and the Anarchy sign
10:19
on his garage and we were like, Yo, nobody has
10:23
ever done that. That's impossible. It's impossible for those two
10:27
impulses to exist. Anyways, with that person was found out
10:30
to be a fraud and get engaging and yeah, we're
10:35
gonna talk about the JR fifteen and a R fifteen
10:38
for kids that is real. Somehow, We're gonna talk about
10:42
Starbucks fucking around in the Chicken Sandwich wars plentymore. First
10:48
did not go well. Didn't go well for Starbucks. Not surprised.
10:53
We don't need more people in the arms race for Chicken.
10:55
There's like three spots. We'll get into it. We don't
10:58
need more. We don't need to keep your innion busting
11:00
ass out of this. Yeah, but before we get to
11:03
any of that ship, say, we like to ask our guest,
11:06
what is something from your search history? Oh uh, well,
11:10
it speaks to my grapes of capitalism? Is a well
11:13
paying credit card bill early increase your credit score? I
11:18
I took a hit for fifty points, like my credits
11:20
trash has always been trashed, but like I excciually took
11:23
a hit for fifty like maybe thirty points to the
11:26
other week. I'm desperately just trying to get up to
11:28
some work good, Like I just want to see that
11:30
little needle go to like just towards the green, just
11:33
like a little bit. It's been read for so long.
11:34
I category you want your capitalism E meter reading, get
11:39
my capitalism eating up to a good level. U you
11:43
need to be a level three consumer to get that
11:46
work on that? Would you like some DLC you can
11:48
download to like get to this or what? That is
11:51
wild that somebody was just like, hey, we're going to
11:53
create a grade that is just like grading you as
11:57
a capitalist. And you're like, we're going to make billions
12:00
of dollars doing it and have access to all your information.
12:03
And when you do good, you your your score goes down.
12:05
If you if you pay off a loan, guess what
12:08
your score is going down? Baby? You said so, yeah,
12:12
well whoa, you're paying that off way too quick. Yeah. No,
12:15
you need to be stuck in. You need me shackle
12:17
to us. That's the whole point. Do you ever figure
12:20
out how you got the fifty point hit or was
12:22
it just I think some of those student loans started,
12:26
uh it hit some du collectors. So I think that's
12:29
what that's what happened. Baby. Look ella takes to have
12:33
a six hund level credit score and be immy nominated
12:36
is to go into crippling debt. It's a It's great, guys,
12:38
it's all you need. Mutual exclusive. Yeah, what is what? Something?
12:43
Do you think is underrated? Underrated? Oh? You know what
12:46
this is? I think I don't know if I've said
12:48
this before, but like not having a take on something
12:51
that you're own informed about, like I I nothing is
12:53
better than just shutting up and not speaking and opening
12:56
your mouth about any type of subject, particularly if you
12:59
have no no investment or you don't know what's going on.
13:02
Like my favorit thing to do when I see online
13:04
discourse is not engaged because I have no take on
13:07
what's going on, Like no one needs to hear my
13:08
thought on it, and I'm out. I want to be
13:10
clean and free, right like I'm not gonna add any fuel.
13:14
I don't want to get I don't want to give
13:16
anyone any little bit any like any like take an inch,
13:19
take they take them out, Like I don't want any
13:20
an excuse to get dragged. I just I did don't
13:22
need it. I don't look for it like I mean sick, well,
13:25
I see you move on Twitter. You have opinions, man, yeah,
13:28
but they're always like coo coo can beat up for
13:29
Jeta or like it's never like actual real things you know,
13:34
or like you know, based off like you know, all
13:36
cops are bastards, like things that are pretty like like
13:39
undeniable you know. Yeah we're talking about science. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
13:44
you can do the mixture. You can see that what
13:47
some do you think is over rated? Most online discourse
13:51
revolving around film, like film Twitter brings me such uh
13:56
such psyche. It really it's such as like an immense
13:58
p like a damage to me. I have to watch
14:01
another person yell at someone else for like liking a
14:03
movie like I just can't do it. It's no, it
14:04
means nothing. Guys like, let let them enjoy the thing.
14:07
Let them if they want to watch Transformers six? Who
14:09
gives a ship? Like when no one's getting out of
14:12
this thing of life like just you know when you okay?
14:17
Because I feel like this is an evolution all people
14:19
have like because I'll speak for myself, right, I was
14:22
like a very opinionated film kid from around twelve years old,
14:28
just by virtue of growing up in l A, my
14:30
mom being a film critic, so I had fucking opinions.
14:34
Then college I became in fucking sufferable like with I
14:39
would be like, no, turn this off, like this is
14:41
so doct like just so pretentious. And then around I
14:45
think maybe like my maybe too, like late twenties, like
14:49
I heard my I heard like out loud, like how
14:52
I was talking about something, and I was like, this
14:54
is such a waste of energy that like I became
14:56
embarrassed for myself and I was just like this is
14:59
actually not even useful to anybody except you know. Yeah.
15:02
It was the exact same way like in film school,
15:04
like this, these are these are the film the films
15:06
the cinema you need to watch. And then I got order.
15:08
I was like, you know, who gives a Ship? Yeah?
15:10
I want to watch, uh, the thirty six Chambers of Shaldon.
15:13
That's just as much fun as watching the Bicycle Thief
15:15
for whatever you're right, or for the four hundred Blues,
15:19
like who gives a Ship? Yeah? And I think probably
15:22
all the Star Wars like just loser Star Wars fans
15:26
that had shipped to say like the last couple of years,
15:28
I was like, oh my god, this is so stupid.
15:31
Just let the fun Like, trust me, I had issues
15:34
with some of the films, but I don't give a
15:35
funk enough when we have so much other ship calling on. Yeah,
15:38
I'm like like, like, I'm gonna give the country three
15:42
more president elections before it collapses. So I'm like, you
15:44
know what, who cares you enjoy your justice league Snyder cut?
15:48
Who gives you like We'll have plenty of time to
15:50
bicker about the Snyder cut when we're in forced labor
15:53
camps for Yeah, we were the camps outside of the June,
15:56
We'll have plenty of time to argue about whether you
15:57
shot first Haunt or Grit to Yeah. I I like
16:03
the main thing I'm interested in here and is like
16:04
people who are like calling out movies that are secretly
16:09
like much better than we give them credit for. Like,
16:11
that's the only use I have for critics now, the
16:18
way that the ideas are communicated. Right when it's like
16:21
I'm dunking on you because you're stupid and you don't
16:24
know this about film, then I'm like this you you're
16:27
losing me. But like to the point to your point
16:29
if it's like here's something that isn't discussed enough. I
16:31
think it's really just about the presentation. When people come
16:33
with their chests out. It's like, yeah, I think the
16:35
energy like having like just a little NEGGETI of kindness,
16:38
but hey, I want to this is the thing that
16:39
I watched that I really enjoyed. I think other people
16:41
would enjoy. I think that's the energy I'm looking for
16:43
these days, like the next I mean, most online discourses
16:48
is poisonous to begin with, but like I the need
16:50
to like dunk in roast and just like drag people.
16:53
It's exhausting after seeing it for so long. He's like, man,
16:57
we maybe maybe just like maybe just like coming with
17:00
a nice energy, Maybe that's what we need. Maybe that's
17:02
what people need for online discourse. Kindness, kindness, thought will win.
17:09
But you know that energy, Jack? Did you did you
17:12
ever have like a just like a weird film take
17:16
that you were really like charged up about, like in
17:19
your in your younger days when you're like that devoted
17:23
too much energy to that film, like an anti like
17:26
whatever negative were you were? You? Were you an evangelical?
17:29
Were you or were you a hater? I was always
17:31
interested in talking about movies like that. I was really into,
17:35
even if they were dumb. Like I like talking about movies.
17:39
I didn't. I like to read movie reviews. But I
17:42
didn't ever have like a this is trash. I had
17:45
more of a die Hard four is just as good
17:49
as die Hard three and die Hard to take or
17:53
like the Jaws sequels have more value than people give
17:57
them credit for. I almost gotten a fight because I
18:00
insisted walk Hard was one of the worst films ever made.
18:05
Story huh do we co and like and like? In hindsight,
18:11
I was like, it's kind of funny. But at that
18:15
time I was I thought I had like not even
18:18
a third eye, like a fourth and fifth. I opened
18:21
up for cinema and I was like, this is so
18:24
such a waste of energy. Like I don't know what
18:27
the funk I was going. I mean, I was going
18:29
through a breakup at the time, I know, so I
18:31
just hated everything. But I remember everyone was like, yo,
18:34
this is like this is too much. But anyway, shout
18:37
out to those old times. What about you? Did you
18:39
ever have a film like you rode too hard for
18:42
or or against? I mean, yeah, it's I mean I
18:47
when I tell you. I thought the first transform movie
18:50
Transformers Movies, was so fucking good. This movie is great.
18:53
It's got great action, it's got great pacing. It looks fantastic.
18:57
All the actors are banging. And then I rewatched it
19:00
like maybe like two weeks later with a friend. Like
19:02
halfway through, I was like, Oh, this movie I think
19:04
is a piece of ship. Like there's always like there's
19:06
only like two action scenes. Like it's also like like
19:10
like there's a one point like a robot pisces on
19:12
like John Tatua. I'm like, this is stupid, Like this
19:15
is a like robo excrement. Can we explain that or not?
19:21
I'll say that's that is the one place that I
19:23
will be like real harsh and start like shooting on
19:25
a movie as if I have like like if it
19:27
tricked me, Like Forrest Gump. When I saw it when
19:30
I was twelve, I was like, this movie is just
19:32
all Americana. And then I wrote in an after Hours
19:35
episode about Forrest Gump and it was the meanest I've
19:39
ever been in a movie in any format, And I
19:43
think justifiably so. I think that's one of the most
19:46
harmful movies about American history. That's ever been made. But yeah,
19:51
that when when it's like you got me, son of
19:54
a bitch, Like then I'll probably have a little bit
19:57
more of an edge ont on my fucking high horse
20:01
with stuff. That's why I like, I look back and
20:03
like you really tried to make your like your ship
20:06
known by going hard at walk hard. Yeah what you guys,
20:11
Miles really fucking took down Dewey Cox And this I
20:13
don't think his newsletter, He's got his yeah exactly out
20:17
his YouTube page. I don't how much do you think
20:21
just the mood you're in going into a movie determines,
20:25
like what whether it's a four star versus like a
20:28
one star two star experience. I think that has everything,
20:33
it has everything to do with it, And I feel
20:36
that's why I'm not interested in reviews. Is like I'm
20:38
just like, yeah, you were having a bad day, man,
20:41
Like That's how I feel about movies when I'm having
20:44
a bad day. Like I said, also, like I think
20:47
my version, I said the inverse of that is like
20:49
going in thinking something's going to be a complete piece
20:51
of ship, and then you watch it you're like, all right,
20:53
this is like fine. So I think that's where a
20:55
lot of like my three out of five three out
20:57
of five stars would come like, oh I came in,
20:59
I think it's going to be absolute darkshit, and it's
21:01
just like a fine movie. So now I'm just like, yeah,
21:03
you should go see this movie. It's it's like, because
21:05
you started at a negative one four star rendered it
21:09
to just a three out of five. It's like I
21:11
burned one star overcoming like preconceived notion. Yeah, like the
21:15
energy thing, I just I don't know if I'm putting
21:18
a bow on it. But like in high school, I
21:21
remember getting so mad at somebody acting like they were
21:25
too good to see anger management that I put him
21:28
to sleep and I like I choked him out because
21:32
I was like I was going to management. Was no,
21:37
like no, like he was like yo, I was, I
21:39
saw anger manage over the weekend. She was so bad.
21:41
I walked out and I said, oh, you're a real
21:42
tough guy, huh. And I just like jumped on. It
21:45
was so like this is me at my worst, a
21:47
grow like you know, parents splitting up. I don't know
21:50
who the funk I am phase. I mean, we're cool now,
21:52
but it was just again a moment where my mood
21:55
even my life. Tough guy unbelievable, like you yeah, oh
22:03
you think that's oh you think you bet it an
22:05
anger management? Like what oh my god? Yeah, look, I've
22:10
done a lot of growth. You cost pst anger management.
22:14
That was one of like five movies in my film
22:16
my career as a film critic for the Georgetown Hoya
22:19
that was that was one of the films I reviewed,
22:22
And somebody got mad at me for being too nice
22:24
to it. It's not good. What's wrong with you? I'm
22:27
like that was oh tough guy? Huh yeah, Like I mean,
22:34
and you were just going back and forth being you
22:39
know that there's no way you're gonna talk tuck yourself
22:41
out of situation begins with oh you're a tough guy,
22:44
or like hey, what's up, big fella? Like you're never
22:46
getting out of that. Like even to this day, I
22:50
remember happening in the band room okay right for a
22:53
band marching band practice kicked off, and one of my
22:56
homeways to this day still talks about, oh you tough guy. Huh.
23:01
You know, we referenced that moment because it was just
23:03
like it was like, what is wrong with you? Just
23:06
talking anger management? Take the second act in work. Oh
23:11
my man, can spend the money to go to a
23:13
m C and then walk out to like wow, okay,
23:17
money bags. Okay, let's see what that wind pipe do? Where?
23:24
Where was such a great movie to reveal your anger? Man?
23:30
It was just too It looked it's sixteen seventeen year
23:33
old models was not doing I want to see background.
23:36
You just see a giant poster of it behind his
23:38
head in a bunch of a bunch beside holes in
23:41
the drywall. Yeah, alright, let's take a quick break. We'll
23:46
be right back. And we're back and all right. So,
24:02
like the big news of the past couple of weeks,
24:05
nobody wants Joe Biden to run like it's of people
24:08
are like, yeah, I guess you could run again. Everyone
24:11
I was like, no, man, go go away. Yeah, unless
24:15
you're part of or whatever was trending on Twitter a
24:18
couple of days ago. There's like sort of a background
24:21
conversation in those articles where they where they started like
24:24
bringing up Kamala and like what you know, as kind
24:29
of mentioning her as the presumptive replacement, which I think
24:32
would also not go very well. Maybe no one's interested
24:36
in either of these two. I mean you guys know,
24:39
like we were so uninterested in in inverting for them
24:42
in the first place. You know, we were just saying, guys,
24:44
like that that meme of Rihanna throwing the cash in
24:46
the dude's face if he walks behind stage like that
24:48
was like us, vote to be done with it, and
24:54
we'll allow it. Just get Trump out of office and
24:57
then well then we'll deal with you later. Anyways, the
25:01
mainstream media is starting to pay attention to a couple
25:03
of people, so I just wanted to like kind of
25:05
put their names on the podcast Get initial thoughts. Gavin
25:10
Newsom kind of makes sense as a mainstream pick mainstream media,
25:17
like he's somebody who they've just like had their eye on.
25:20
I feel like the mainstream Democratic Party, and he's getting
25:25
some attention. He went to d C and was talking
25:29
about Red States and feels like he's like, I'm here
25:32
for it. I'll talk shit about Republicans fighter. And then
25:38
there's J. B. Pritsker, who sounds like you know, and
25:46
he probably does or at least like lives off of
25:50
wealth generated from a company town because he has aired
25:53
to the highest fortune. It's probably worth like three points
25:57
something billion. Dollars. But like he once he reached office,
26:04
as he's the governor of Illinois, I think once he
26:07
reached office, he like started doing like sort of like
26:11
spouting some socialist talking points and actually doing i mean,
26:15
not really socialist as much as just like what democrats
26:18
should be doing, like the bare minimum of what democrats
26:22
should be doing. And people are like, WHOA, he's got
26:25
his he's got his eye on the presidency. He's actually
26:28
doing stuff, considering what like four out of eight or
26:33
nine governors of Illinois been arrested, right, Yeah, so I
26:38
don't know it. The Gawker published a thing that was
26:43
like the you know, we're endorsing billionaire socialist Jamie Prisker.
26:49
They were joking, but they did like half of the
26:52
article was like, but he's like doing a pretty good
26:54
job and like seems to like take these talking points seriously.
26:58
They did also point out he is a millionaire who
27:00
loves money enough to have had all of the toilets
27:03
removed from his mansion to get out of paying taxes
27:07
on his mansion. Yeah, it's uninhabitable man toilets. That was
27:10
the that was the logic. There was you toilets. Yeah,
27:15
I can't live here probably not that means this place
27:18
I don't have to pay that extra two dollars of
27:20
whatever year. Yeah, and he ended up having to pay
27:22
like three grand anyway, Like but I don't know. It
27:26
is one of those things, right, Like it's funny too
27:29
that Newsome and Pritzker are mentioned at the same time,
27:32
because Gavin Newsome, right, like, his his family is like
27:36
tight with the Gettys because his dad and the Gettys
27:39
were like his dad like facilitated like that like kidnapping
27:44
payment to be made, Like yo, yeah, that's how Like,
27:48
So Gavin Newsom is like already in with the getting
27:50
is all fucking nefotism all the way down to that. Right,
27:56
the Pritzkers are big in California politics, and because of
27:59
his proximity to the Getties, Gavin Newsom's rise to like
28:04
power also involves the Pritskers backing him to You're going
28:08
to be like Pritsker was the one who kidnapped. No,
28:14
but like they, you know, like they were like some
28:16
of the first like you know, upper crust California elites
28:20
to like give their like you know, sign off on
28:22
Gavin Newsom. So it's all like in this same world.
28:25
But yeah, I'm curious, like, is it going to be
28:28
is Pritsker Can he be the true, uh sort of
28:31
class trader that we would need for for people to
28:34
be like, oh, it's not odious to have like a
28:36
billionaire there. And I get it, like when you look
28:38
at the politics that like he's actually put into play,
28:41
like putting the putting the state of Illinois, like on
28:44
like being I think almost fully on renewables by and
28:48
like minimum wage and getting rid of cash bail and
28:51
like expunging all those like cannabis charges and things like that.
28:54
I get that. Like people are like, well, he does
28:55
all the things that he said he do, which makes
28:59
you more ad for what a Democrat is because Republicans,
29:03
you're like, yo, all that racist, nazi like theocratic shit
29:07
they're doing they do, yeah, whereas Democrats are like, yeah,
29:12
I feel like people deserve you know, living ways. And
29:16
even with him, he you know, he came out and
29:18
said Biden wasn't doing enough when the Dobbs decision came
29:21
down that overturned Rowe. So I think like in those
29:24
in those in that in those ways, yes, he looks
29:27
much better than the field, for sure, I also like
29:30
the fact, like as producer Justin is pointing out, like
29:33
Newsome looks like Matthew McConaughey's better looking cousin, Like he
29:38
just like looks like or like, you know, he's like
29:40
very yeah, very bate. He looks like he was created
29:44
in a lab to be a in a movie. Like
29:47
he's like the he's like the bad mayor in like
29:49
RoboCop five. Like that's what that's very much the interge
29:52
that he looks and getting radiots with. I feel like
29:54
that's part of the reason he's even at this like
29:58
being mentioned right, you know, or that he's at this
30:01
point in his career and you don't you don't have
30:03
that ship with j BA. We gotta run as far
30:06
away just from the optics. He just based off of
30:09
the Tim Robinson. I think you should leave logic he
30:11
has slicked back hair. Yeah, he's a real a real
30:16
piece of ship. Was slicked back there. I don't And
30:20
I think there's also because of that. I think it
30:22
would instantly energize more conservatives, Like already he's hated by
30:27
California Republicans, you know, like for their own reasons, and
30:31
you know, whatever you can debate what those are on
30:33
its own, but like it's like when you put that
30:36
on a national stage, like he reads like greasy lib
30:41
guy instantly. So whereas Pritzker, like in a lot of
30:45
these writ ups that they point to, like, dude, this
30:47
guy talks like he's from the Midwest. He doesn't like
30:49
he doesn't he doesn't seem all like I went to like,
30:52
you know, the Ivy League and it's been condescending. So
30:55
he looks like he just looks like he looks like
30:59
he is sleeping one off. Yeah, it looks like how
31:03
like classic world leaders used to look before the entry
31:05
as television, Like just sloppy pieces of ship, Like you
31:08
feel like he has like a corn beef pash and
31:11
like his breast pocket. Like that's the edge I think
31:14
I'm looking for visually in a in a leader right now,
31:16
if they're going to be a gross capitalist, like at
31:18
least look the part like don't look like you're Who's
31:21
that dude from Popeye who always wants the hamburgers? Yeah,
31:25
Like what's his name? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that
31:30
like that kind of vibe that feels like disarming. I
31:32
feel like like like Hamburgers man, Yeah, if if I
31:36
was keeping first the socialist though, and I need someone
31:38
who looks like I can beat them at a foot race.
31:40
That's the energy I'm looking for in my politicians. At
31:42
this point, I think, yeah, yeah, I mean, what's interesting
31:45
about that gawker right up to is they're like they're like, yeah, look,
31:48
there's clearly like from even like progressives in Illinois, they
31:52
were like sort of stunned that he made good on
31:55
a lot of these promises and things like that. And
31:58
to like point about the meme mobility, they're saying it's
32:00
like they kind of need an element of fun like
32:03
to back a candidate, if you know, for right or wrong.
32:06
Not to say that I don't like they're even saying
32:08
like we're not going full plane for president here, but
32:11
they're saying like there's an element of having a character
32:14
like that that kind of makes it easy for people
32:17
to be like yeah, man, fucking yeah, I mean guy again. Like,
32:21
I think that's why a lot of people, I mean
32:22
people are also like just a lot of racist and
32:24
fashions out there. But like, I think one of the
32:26
reason people latched on the Trump so much that like
32:28
he's a funny guy, like he I hate to say it,
32:31
but like he is funny, Like it's like in the
32:34
when when you're going through it, it's not very funny.
32:36
But like like the tweet that he had the other
32:38
day about Elon Musk or like I guess not whatever,
32:40
like the fascist version of like Twitter is like that.
32:43
I was like, it's funny, Like it's a funny. It's
32:46
very funny, Like I hate to missay it out loud,
32:48
but like the way that's written, it's very funny, like
32:50
like posts like great, you know he's figured it out,
32:55
and like that's why it's like because then last year
32:57
we had to be like Biden is a fucking dried
33:00
up pumice stone wearing a suit where he's at like
33:04
he's probably exactly there. There was no fun It was
33:09
the threat of fashion that was like yeah, this guy.
33:13
It was never like Joe, Yeah, like it was I
33:18
distinctly remember that like end of End of the Empire
33:21
strikes back or into Revenge the Jedi whatever, when like
33:24
the death Star blows up and everyone's celebrating across the universe,
33:26
Like that's very much like l a like Demmi dancing
33:29
on top of that car for eight hours and like
33:32
for a guy that we didn't even actually want to
33:33
vote for. Like that's the end. That's much pressure we
33:35
were under exactly. Yeah. Well, speaking of guy we didn't
33:40
actually want to vote for, and there was absolutely zero
33:43
energy out there for him. Let's talk about the scandal
33:48
around Dennis Mola's camper being set on fire and his
33:54
garage defaced. Yeah, I mean September of this man in
34:00
Minnesota said, I can't believe what happened. Okay, I'm just
34:06
gonna read from this Washington Post article or yeah, he
34:09
says when Dennis Vladimireovitch Mola told authorities that his camper
34:14
was set on fire in his garage to face, the
34:16
Minnesota man said that whoever carried out the attack was
34:20
motivated by the Trump flag he had displayed from his vehicle.
34:24
As pictures circulated of a vandalized garage door in September
34:28
that was spray painted with Biden BLM and an anarchy symbol.
34:34
Mala then collected thousands of dollars there for the reported
34:38
arson through his insurance company and online donations. It just
34:42
shocked me, he told the local news after the incident.
34:45
This kind of stuff should not happen, especially over beliefs
34:49
of some sort, but prosecutors have concluded, almost two years later,
34:54
that Mola stayed the entire no shit, care to revise
35:01
your bullshit story? I mean wow, And like he's being
35:06
charged with why you're fraud filing fraudulent insurance claims benefiting
35:11
from online fundraisers from the fake to arts And so,
35:13
I mean, here's the thing, Like I get that we
35:15
all live in our socio political bubbles, but like, where
35:19
is this magical Biden supporter? And like, y'all, I get
35:22
that on Fox News you're constantly just hearing blood libel
35:26
about like democrats and how progressives want to eat the
35:30
dead of like children and all this other weird ship
35:33
to make people sound completely inhumane and dehumanize them. We've
35:36
seen this playbook play out before, but like to then
35:40
just be like, yeah, it's a loose smattering of Biden,
35:44
BLM and anarchy, And that's that's a real suspect the
35:48
profilers are gonna know exactly who this person is. I mean,
35:51
that's when you really just gotta do a Google search,
35:52
Like what are the kids talking about these days? I
35:54
was like, black map matter, They fucking hate Biden. Anarchists
35:57
hate everyone. It's like you just gotta have synergy, man,
36:00
Like just make sure form follows function. That's what you
36:03
gotta do. It's like the guy that had that pretended
36:06
that someone Blacks rule across his his driveway, like you
36:10
know what's saying that, Like it wasn't one of them,
36:13
just like crips to like you crips like crip it
36:19
was crips in cursive like it was like so weird,
36:24
just like penmanship. Yeah, it was like just the mysterious
36:29
case of the old man with the Blacks Rule. Oh man. Also,
36:35
I just can't even picture somebody using spray paint to
36:39
paint Biden anywhere, Like yeah, I feel like you feel
36:43
like you just like go go to the Biden campaign
36:46
and get like permitting to do that, like you don't
36:49
have to and illicitly voice your support for Biden like
36:54
that is the most Like yeah, just put a bumper
36:59
sticker on your car for most of them, do that's enough.
37:01
It's like the ship that you see gets ray painted
37:03
it ship like a cap Okay, yeah that's not yeah,
37:09
but not this ship like Biden and bl I can
37:14
get it too if they just left out the anarchy symbol.
37:17
You might have something because we saw in a lot
37:20
of lips went full knte cloth on us, and you know,
37:24
we're like, hey, I don't know what black liberation is,
37:26
but I'm pretend I know what it is. He had
37:28
a solid three months where they really pretended to care. Yeah, exactly,
37:32
like that seems feasible almost. Then you do the anarchy
37:36
and now you've created a comic book character. He didn't,
37:39
as Kenny Wagen said, he didn't know when to fold
37:41
he went. He put too much in, Like I think
37:43
he just had too many hats. He was wearing too
37:45
many hats. That was a hat on a hat, too
37:47
much dip on your chips or all of those things
37:50
happening once. But yeah, which is wild because this is
37:54
all like as this happens, and like Republicans are constantly
37:58
trying to find ways to say that we are the
38:00
actual victims here they're doing ship just like this is
38:04
against the backdrop right now where the party just voted
38:07
like unanimously as a block. They voted against like an
38:10
amendment to a bill that would have the Pentagon like
38:13
analyze and proposed solutions to like ferreting out like Nazis
38:18
in the military and they're all like, we're all against that.
38:22
Every single Republican the House voted against that, And then
38:25
like right after that, nearly all of them also voted
38:28
against the House bill that would like help state and
38:30
local governments create like an amber alert type system for
38:34
when they're active shooter situations, just so they're like better
38:37
communication between the public. Hundred and sixty eight of them
38:40
were like, nah, no, we don't need Yeah, they're like, look,
38:43
let's be real. The only victims that they're creating are
38:45
like innocent people, innocent American people that I want nothing
38:49
to do with, you know, what their policies are. But
38:51
do you remember when we first launched the show and
38:53
it was like Hurricane Harvey, I think had just and
38:57
and there was this like Facebook group the Houston Luke
39:01
Crew or something like that, like some street in Houston
39:04
Looke Crew, and it was just like the most the
39:08
worst creative writing by like a clearly like you know,
39:12
middle aged white dude trying to write as like you know,
39:17
a you know, Houston gang member. And it was it
39:22
was like very embarrassing and transparent, but it was also
39:25
like giving like putting down it was very dangerous, you know.
39:29
It was like putting down a logic to just murder
39:33
people on site when all the power and you know,
39:38
everything was out in this entire city. Like that's yeah,
39:42
it's just like embarrassingly uncreative excuses for fascism had yeah, yeah,
39:51
And it was like the same person had done that
39:53
in a previous hurricane and like similarity in Sandy. Like
39:59
it's just it's just stroke that occurs, which is white
40:02
people pretending to be black people and just tiling on
40:05
themselves in like four dimensions. Truly. Yeah, this this feels
40:12
like a you know, shorter version, less weirdy version of
40:17
that failure at it. And I think it speaks to how,
40:22
you know, white people believe the judicial system will move
40:26
against like black people. Like it's like I need to
40:28
just do this thing like graffiti and vandalism and then
40:32
put like these align it with these buzzwords that will
40:36
code it as being black and then like and then
40:39
everyone's going to be like, yeah, I know that's right,
40:44
you know where to go. We found this at the
40:49
scene officer they say it's eat. I don't know, but
40:55
they wouldn't know how that. I mean, he's like, I
40:59
know they're saying it gas, but I checked my tank
41:02
and it's full. So they didn't. They didn't siphon the gas.
41:04
I don't know what they mean though, all right, let's
41:07
take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back.
41:21
And so this is something that people apparently knew about.
41:25
I might have known about it, but like I just
41:27
I think it's just hitting my brain different now that
41:29
there's been the Uvoli Day mass shooting. They are selling
41:35
something called a JR fifteen that is an A R
41:38
fifteen for kids like JR. Like JR. It's like the
41:43
the ad JR fifteen. Get him one like yours, smaller, safer, lighter,
41:50
the barrel like is silver like it makes it look
41:53
more fun. And then there's like little cartoon drawings of
41:57
like a skull with a passive. Are it truly? It
42:01
looks like bad satire and it is real. It's real.
42:05
Like I almost got mad at our writer jam. I
42:08
was like, dude, you felt for fake satire. And it's like,
42:13
this is gun. This is what gun magazines are. Yeah,
42:17
I mean the logo itself, like you know again, this isn't.
42:21
These aren't built with actual children in mind. These are
42:24
built to appeal to parents who don't give a fuck
42:27
and want to like upset everybody by buying it because
42:31
like do some like market research. Let me tell you,
42:33
some kids don't want to be seen as fucking babies. Okay,
42:37
I even remember that ship. The last thing I wanted
42:39
to be aligned with was baby culture. And so like
42:43
this like skull and crossbones of like pacifier with pigtails
42:47
like skull and then like even like the one that
42:49
I guess is male has like a fucking mohawk and
42:53
like a missing eye that's like a crosshair. I'm just
42:56
targets for that. This is wild. Yeah, this should is
43:00
like I'm like, that's that's not four kids. But again,
43:02
none of it is because I don't think many kids
43:04
are being like dad. When do I get my assault
43:07
rifle for baby? Yeah? Press release for the gun claims
43:10
this smaller than a regular Air fifteen and has added
43:14
safety measures, but it's still operates just like mom and
43:18
Dad's gun, and like so that this product was launched
43:22
back in January at a gun show immediately sparked criticism, obviously,
43:27
but it's being sold. It's being marketed in a magazine
43:33
called Junior Shooters, and this is like we we have
43:40
a one of the covers in the dock here that
43:44
I don't know if you can see it, but it's
43:46
got a like six year old girl with a gun
43:50
on her belt, just like smiling. And Junior's stand up
43:56
for gun rights is like the one of the headlines
43:59
Forward Movement, like it's all about getting guns and kids
44:03
hands Jack, I get it, like you're I can see why.
44:05
This is like fake satire made from like you know,
44:08
hard drive or whatever one of those like aggregates right inside.
44:12
This is crazy. It looks sort of looks like ship
44:16
doesn't look good, just a giant red backs shot showteen
44:21
Like what what do you What's wild? Is you go
44:24
to their website right now and it says the first
44:28
thing when you go to their website, it says, due
44:30
to California Bill a p. Two five seven one, Junior
44:32
Shooters is no longer available to juniors under eighteen from
44:35
the state of California. If you are a minor in California,
44:38
please do not continue otherwise, welcome to Junior Shooters. Yeah,
44:44
the Newsome bill actually, like so the existence of this
44:49
gun caused Newsome to pass some legislation prohibiting marketing of firearms.
44:56
Two miners. Yeah, I mean, good call, because this is
45:01
this stuff is just how is that only popular in California?
45:06
Seems like it should be pretty popular anywhere, man, give
45:09
I mean you look at the this even the website
45:12
and the content of the magazine. It's like there's like
45:14
a kid on the cover, and then you open it
45:17
up and it's a bunch of like boomers and like
45:18
gen X militia people who are like, yeah, kids, check
45:21
out the ghost Holster, Like what the fuck? But again,
45:25
you know it's not it's not really four kids, just propagandia.
45:28
You're trying to normalize the ship to them. There's an
45:31
ad make Debt Jealous. For less than three hundred dollars,
45:34
you can own an authentic one nine eleven reproduction in
45:38
twenty two l R and spend the day of shooting
45:41
and improving your skills without emptying dad's wallet. I like
45:45
that the idea that this little girl is going to
45:46
buy a nineteen eleven with her like paper route money,
45:50
Like she's readcast her parents to give her money for this. Yeah.
45:53
She the little girl looks to be about all of
45:56
seven years old in the ad, and she's holding up
45:58
a target where she like yeah, I know, so very
46:03
impressive actually, but yeah, this isn't the first time gun
46:06
manufacturers have tried to make guns specifically for kids. But
46:11
this is like more aggressively targeting kids with a product
46:14
that's explicitly a starter a R fifteen. I don't know,
46:18
like people, I guess people knew this existed. I just
46:21
I can't like the fact that it's not the first
46:25
time gun makers have been marketing guns for kids. I
46:28
put under the category of like not helping their argument,
46:32
like as much as they think it might be, Like
46:35
this feels like this feels like what gun control advocates
46:39
should be focusing on is like not that gun control
46:43
is about putting locks on guns so kids don't get
46:45
at them, Like they're not. They're trying to get kids
46:48
to get at guns. They're trying to put guns in
46:52
kids hands to make your dad jealous with guns that
46:56
you can't buy. It very much has the same energy
46:58
as like the old like when stones were like you know,
47:01
he would just like Marlboro went through. It feels so good,
47:05
wellma like velment, Like this's very much the energy that
47:07
this has. Yeah, we need to be floying all gun companies,
47:12
like internal records. Just anonymous needs to be hacking the
47:16
ship out of them so we see like how they talk,
47:19
like look at how I want to know how they
47:22
talk about mass shootings and the deaths of children as
47:25
a result of their weapons, Like we've seen some but
47:28
like we like that needs to be a national campaign.
47:31
It's I'm part of me just feels like I don't know, man,
47:35
because like I remember seeing like the first time I
47:38
saw like multi colored tiny guns for kids, like yeah, yeah,
47:43
that's true. Yeah, I'm thinking back to like remember they
47:46
would have like pink pink long rifles for like little
47:48
girls and stuff, and like yeah, exactly girls first or
47:51
daddy's first gun or whatever that you give to his kid,
47:55
get your first m nineteen eleven. Hey, it's not a
47:57
forty five like dad's. It's your little hand can handle it,
48:00
like you can move up from squirrels, right, But yeah,
48:06
I think just honestly, and then just shows like this
48:09
whole like the way they're even just trying to get
48:11
at like these kids, just like the gun brained parents
48:14
who just feel like, oh, yeah, this is a cute
48:17
thing my kid likes. Because I was saying I don't
48:19
think this was even on Mike when I was talking
48:21
about it. But like, you know, I grew up with
48:22
a lot of kids whose parents were like big into guns,
48:25
Like they grew up getting guns for their birthdays. So
48:28
many of my friends like that, they are the last
48:31
thing they want to do is interact with guns, like
48:33
even though they were raised in it. They're like, yeah, man,
48:36
that ship just it's a little too like grim now
48:39
and like and I'm like, what about you can't take
48:40
your kids shooting or anything like that, and they're like nah,
48:42
Like it's just just it just feels too dark these days,
48:46
like to be handling guns like around kids and ship.
48:49
It just doesn't not adding up in my brain. So
48:52
I mean, who knows how these these kids end up
48:54
as h little socialist rifle association with that. So that
48:59
was in Cow just a lot of like kids getting
49:01
guns for I mean, I don't kids. I mean, because
49:04
you don't have a lot of transplant kids like I like,
49:07
I have family like friends who's like parents are like
49:10
you know, like in law enforcement or firefighting and stuff
49:13
like that, or like parents like their parents were veterans
49:17
and stuff like Vietnam veterans and things like that. So
49:19
it was just a little bit like and then growing
49:21
up like in Georgia anam vet and then you know,
49:25
you just take that culture with you to California. I
49:28
like most of the stuff. I'm from North Comata further
49:30
who are keeping up? Most of it was for hunting.
49:32
For around us, it was like, oh I got I
49:35
got barely his first hunting raffle. We can start small
49:38
with the squirrel and then move up to deer whenever
49:39
hunting things comes around, right, Yeah, I think in California
49:43
was like here's your glocks, like yeah, exactly, don't get
49:49
caught lacking out there, like you know, let him know
49:51
you with the ship's Like okay, well, speaking of being
49:55
caught lacking, let's talk about Starbucks just checking stand, did
49:59
that really did not have that thing on them? That
50:01
did not? Yeah, they sucked around with the chicken sandwich
50:05
wars and found out in a in a very big way.
50:08
I did any First of all, did anybody know that
50:11
Starbucks had no? I would say that's how that's how
50:13
you know the war was like there wasn't even a
50:15
war because I didn't even know they. I just I'm
50:17
just founding out right now. I can't imagine they put
50:20
a knife to a gunfight. Yea, so to speak. All right,
50:22
so this is the chicken maple butter. Okay, so far
50:27
and egg sandwich. It was like a breakfast biscuit type
50:31
thing they were trying to Chicken and egg is a
50:33
weird combo, isn't it. I don't know if I've never
50:36
had that combo. In Japan, we have a we have
50:39
a name for it called oil oi don't, which means
50:42
like parent and child when you like and chicken meat
50:45
in a rice bul Yeah, maybe that's what it is.
50:48
It's just there's something about it. For me. It's just
50:51
looks like, yeah too cruel, too cruel. Yeah. Well, okay,
50:57
so first of all, the reason nobody found out about
50:59
it is that it was like grand opening, grand closing.
51:03
Within five days, the ship dropped. People started eating it,
51:07
and they said they pulled it because what they called
51:10
quality concerns. Now in today USA today, the way they
51:14
report it was the ship tasted so bad people thought
51:19
they were poisoned. This is quote unverified knit reports on
51:23
social media claimed the sandwich made some people sick. The
51:26
crowdsourced website I Was Poisoned dot com, which is dedicated
51:30
to tracking food born illness outbreaks and credited with helping
51:33
identify several outbreaks. Logged five claims the sandwich made customers
51:37
feel ill, at least temporarily. Now Starbucks was like unequivocal.
51:43
They're like, no, that's a bullshit. Our food is so
51:46
fucked up and overcooked and overprocessed. There's no organic material
51:50
that could ever cause like ever lead to bacterial growth.
51:54
The way they say is that the start the sandwich
51:56
was quote cooked, frozen ship then reheated for the participant
52:03
for customers at the location, a process that they say
52:06
could shut out food borneil in this is so I'm like, oh,
52:09
there you have it. You just you got like just
52:12
droopy sad beheated mica chicken and chicken sandwich. It sounds
52:16
like yeah, I mean, but what what did you expect
52:19
they don't have. I don't think they have deep friars Starbucks.
52:22
That's like step one to a fried chicken anything. But
52:28
what the fund do I know, for for your money,
52:30
not to cause a big thing, but for your money,
52:32
what's the who's like who like top three? Who's who's
52:34
who's the top three? The chicken sandwich game? Right now? Oh?
52:37
I mean Popeye' is nailed on. That's like easy, you
52:40
know if I if I were, because I'm a bit
52:43
of a more conscious consumer. I mean, I'll have to
52:46
put Chick fil A in there, but I can't really
52:47
get down with giving them my money. And you know,
52:52
I had the McDonald's one that wasn't bad. It doesn't
52:55
It doesn't have the same crunch fact the thing that
52:57
the Popeye's one has the crunch fact. You know you
53:00
know who Loki has form. I mean, for my money,
53:03
the best burger can no KFC. The spicy KFC chicken sandwich,
53:09
I haven't tried. It's it's it's got it. It's it's
53:11
I think it's tired of PA makes sense. I'm saying
53:17
it's good, it's got it. I think they definitely have
53:19
like the motivation. It was embarrassing for them when pop
53:22
Eyes came out and was like, yeah, ours is like
53:25
by far better than anything that you've ever offered. Yeah,
53:28
all right, I gotta go get the KFC one. Alright,
53:30
be right back this this episode though, But yeah, I
53:37
think it's just like one of those things too, is
53:39
like start like you're drunk, Starbucks, go home. We're trying
53:43
to get in the chicken sandwich and like a cake pop.
53:46
Maybe if i'm if I'm at a I'll eat one
53:48
of those. Those are times those feel under every single
53:52
time I'm like, yo, y'all did not cook this. This
53:55
is filled with cake better or I remember the first
53:58
time I had A'm like yo, this glue and then
54:00
I was like, oh no, it's fine. And that's I'm saying.
54:03
The bar is pretty fucked up for the food. They're
54:06
like the souvied egg bite. That was like one of
54:08
the times I had something I was like, yeah, okay, maybe,
54:11
but other than that, in my mind, I would never
54:13
eat subject my body to start. If they have a banana,
54:16
that's that's that's his riskies. I'm going, yeah, I'll take
54:18
a piece of fruit from from Starbucks. I think I
54:20
don't want like maybe like a kind bar like in
54:23
a wrapper, bananas are boiled, frozen, transported from a distance,
54:30
dry and reanimated cursed at Hearsley. The yeah, I mean,
54:38
there's your problem, right, is like that there's nothing that
54:42
could conceivably be food in there, really like food the
54:47
way people want it, like the way that they described that.
54:50
It's just like, oh so it was more of a
54:53
you know, phenomenal logical problem. It was, it was how
54:57
people experienced it felt so bad they got sick metaphysically.
55:05
The sandwich was making people sick metaphysically on an existential level?
55:11
Were it in the after point? Yeah? But no germs,
55:17
so we're good there, No exactly, And now watch I'll
55:22
be I'll probably I'll be outside of a Starbucks and
55:24
watch somebody eat one of those and they're like, man,
55:26
this ship is terrible, and I'm like, oh, I've got
55:28
a tough guy over here. It's that same guy. It
55:35
had to be. It had to be God. Man, what
55:38
do you think he still remembers that that person? Definitely? Still? Yeah,
55:42
I got stick with you. It was terrible. I apologize
55:46
usually it was it was like I knew the error
55:49
of my way as the second has happened, Like what
55:51
you know, It's like I felt like a like a
55:53
like a super villain when you like like or something. Yeah,
55:57
I'm just like what it's like looking at my own
56:01
couldn't have been me. It's in the anime went like
56:04
the bag the good guy goes too far in the fights,
56:06
Like what if I become exactly? Yeah, Well, Cody. It
56:13

56:53
zoom interview and it's a picture of Kermit and the
56:56
cowboy hat that says on the outside I'm hooting, on
56:59
the inside I'm hard. And I immediately went and booked
57:01
that shirt. So I was. I saw that same tweet,
57:04
I was like, Yo, that's a great shirt. I wouldn't
57:08

57:32
you like ninety day Fiance and Weed and want to
57:35
hear me talk about that nonsense. Uh. Some tweets a like.
57:38
First one is from Meg Watson at MS. Meg Watson
57:40
tweeted the new Instagram update really understood what I was
57:43
looking for. None of my friends content reposted TikTok's from
57:47
meme accounts I do not follow a hundred times more
57:50
ads and everything played at full volume against my will. Yeah,
57:55
the ship is I don't even recognize it, and it
57:59
is something. It's clearly just trying to be like, hey,
58:01
you know TikTok, We've got some of that stuff over
58:03
here too, which is like, come on now, we got
58:06
TikTok at home? Yeah exactly, yeah, we got I G
58:09

58:14
R O A R tweeted this picture, said p B
58:16
and J Glizzi and it is a banana in a
58:20
hot dog bun with peanut butter and jelly as the condiments.
58:24
I like it. Here for it. I thought it was absurd,
58:29
like reading the word P, B and J Glizzi, and
58:32
then you look at it You're like, yeah, oh yeah
58:34
that works. This all makes sense. This all makes sense
58:37
for me personally. I might do new Teller because you know,
58:40
sometimes I like and new tell instead of the jelly.
58:44
Yeah that's a yeah, yeah yeah, toast that bun a
58:51
little bit, brio a briosh a briosh hot dog. Okay, okay, okay,
