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.

03:02
is it bad if my wife? All right, well, Miles,
03:09
we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
03:12
by one of the funniest comedy writers and comedy stand ups.
03:16
That's how it said, stand ups, uh doing it. You've
03:20
seen him on Conan fallon his half hour special on
03:23
Comedy Central. He's written for MTV Real Time with Bill Maher,
03:26
among many other places, and you can and should go
03:30
by his stand up film Disingenuous. And he also has
03:34
an e book I want to tell you about. It's
03:36
called how to Make Money by Turning Your Twitter into
03:39
an e book. It is the brilliant and hilarious Nick Ray.
03:46
You all came in with a song. Should I have
03:48
a song? I mean, might as well you post your
03:52
score in the air like you just don't care. Come mon,
03:57
tell me watch the word a word all? Hey there
04:02
it did? Uh wait what happened with a Wordle? While
04:04
I was gone? I heard this did switch on? What happens?
04:08
Some got switched ownership? I lost one of my two
04:12
one of the times that I got to got it
04:14
in two guesses off of my record. Absolute bullshit. I
04:18
don't know how it happened. But it's really kind of
04:21
the main thing that people are talking about. Is that
04:24
indignity that I faced. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of the
04:27
main news that you missed, Miles. It's what t DZ
04:29
has been about for the past couple of weeks. I
04:31
gotta gotta. They're doing quadrill now, I suad, what's that quarter?
04:37
That's bad for me? That's because they not only not
04:40
only is it for like you're you're playing wordle on
04:44
four grids and like that. That adds a complexity and
04:49
makes it a little bit more difficult. But then you
04:51
also have like practice games that you can just like
04:53
go and play like so you can just play it
04:55
all day. It's yeah, I the is the one a
05:01
day is sort of good, you know, Yes, the one
05:04
a day of it all, yeahirtle seems life ruining. I'm
05:08
gonna try to Yeah, it's irresponsible, down right and irresponsible.
05:14
I will not allow it. Nick, are you you play
05:18
word I I do. I like to call it words
05:22
without friends. I think that you know a lot of
05:26
these people will post their scores on the Internet, and
05:29
I think that's a little too much. What I do
05:32
is I I go out and I etched my scores
05:35
into the dirt caked faces of the forgotten. That's what
05:39
I do. Yes, if I'm gonna be obnoxious about it,
05:42
I'm going full throttle, much more curs and uh hunting
05:46
way to share your uh yeah yeah no, I share
05:50
every time I get it get it in two guesses
05:53
an act like that's just what I do every time,
05:56
and usually like with a cocky gift or something them
06:00
like the Jude rolling a strike and saying, who do
06:02
you think you are? I am that it's obnoxious. It's
06:06
the one place where I have cultivated my image to
06:09
be the most obnoxious piece of ship that I can imagine.
06:14
Why are people posting it in five or people are like,
06:17
I'm not that good at it, and I'm telling everybody
06:20
about it. I don't know. People. People have their own strap,
06:23
their own posting needs, and they're all funked up in
06:25
their own kind of way. I don't know, but it's
06:32
not us to trying to figure out. I'm not a
06:34
psycho exactly, you know. I just let them make me
06:39
look good. That's what I'm That's what I'm not the
06:42
only post If I don't get it, there you go.
06:45
I've definitely seen that, all right, Nick, And that we're
06:49
we're gonna stop that. I know people like word all
06:53
has to be so annoying to people who just like
06:56
aren't into it, don't give a shit about it, and
07:00
hearing about it. Yeah, very convincing. That was very convincing.
07:06
All Right, we are gonna get to know you a
07:09
little bit better in a moment, Nick. First, we're gonna
07:11
tell our listeners a couple of things that we're talking
07:13
about today is their Trump's fatigue on the right. We
07:17
were gonna ask, We're gonna look at some poles. We're
07:21
gonna say, maybe I don't know who, who's to say.
07:24
We're gonna talk about the Super Bowl, l A is
07:29
the World champs and the world. They beat the rest
07:32
of the world. Yeah, I mean, you know who who
07:35
from Europe's coming over and beating l A at American football.
07:40
And it was wild because like they they put up
07:43
that celebration video with all the friends just acting totally
07:47
normally and their celebration shirts, their championship shirts after they won,
07:52
and like it was everything that I have been doing
07:55
since they won, just like you know, out in the
07:58
park with some red cups. Last thing uproariously at nothing
08:02
in l a Rams World Champion t shirt. Anyways, l
08:07
A does not appear to give a ship like using
08:10
using the fireworks that happened after the Dodgers won and
08:14
after the Lakers won titles, and then last night, I
08:19
mean I went outside a few times after after the
08:21
Dodgers won. It was NonStop, like like every two seconds. Conservatively,
08:29
last night, I did not hear a single firework. I
08:33
preemptively gave my dog like medicine that helps the anxiety
08:37
for the fireworks because I was, man, I'm like, this
08:39
ship might go and then I was like, come on.
08:44
I mean, at the same time, I'm like one of
08:46
these people like fun Stan Crony, the Rams gone all
08:50
over the place, love my city, but stand cronky. I
08:53
got my own cow flim and yeah I'm St. Louis,
08:56
so cronkey is uh, you know, bad news for me.
09:00
I couldn't get any joy out of last night, right right? Oh,
09:03
I'm sure for yeah, especially if i'd imagine for St.
09:05
Louis that people of St. Louis to like this fucking yeah. Anyways,
09:11
we'll mostly talk about the halftime show, which was great
09:15
for the elder millennial. And I don't know, I'm not
09:18
gonna apologize for thinking that show was great. You don't
09:20
have to be old to think that ship was great.
09:22
That was great. I just love that. Were they like,
09:25
were that were the consumer group, but they're like, yeah, man,
09:28
we gotta make sure these motherfucker's tune in so people
09:31
get some relevant acts in front of them. I know.
09:33
But everybody seemed to be enjoying it apologetically. Like on Twitter,
09:36
everyone was like, and now I know how old I
09:38
am because like the Super Bowl halftime shows finally for me, Yeah,
09:43
excelt we enjoy it. Fuck it. Yeah, no, I'm embracing it. Yeah,
09:47
And we're gonna talk about some reactions. Candice Owes on
09:51
board Charlie Kirk maybe on board, I don't know. He
09:55
said it was sexual anarchy, which I was like, Okay, yeah,
10:00
that's like I mean maybe from a impressionistic read like
10:04
that's a fun thing. But uh, he don't. He seemed
10:09
to be mad about it. So we'll talk about all that,
10:12
all that plenty more. But first Nick, we do like
10:14
to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Well,
10:19
you know, it's funny. I Uh, this wortle thing, uh
10:22
is something I was thinking about last night. I was
10:25
coming home from a Super Bowl party. My brain was
10:28
influenced by the festivities and this, you know, the some
10:32
of the libations that I had had, and I just
10:34
started singing Cameos wortle in my head. And so then
10:38
I got home. In my search history, I looked up
10:40
Cameo and I read about Cameo for a while. And
10:44
the video for word up is pretty great because he
10:47
Cameos trying someone's trying to arrest Cameo and they and
10:53
then but then Cameo dances his way out of it,
10:55
as as what happens in a lot of these music videos.
10:58
They just sing and danced their way out of it,
11:00
and it's not quite. It's not quite clear what the
11:02
charges are against Cameo. Yeah, and then h and at
11:06
the very end, the guy trying to arrest he winds
11:09
up getting handcuffed, and there's no real explanation of any
11:13
of the I would like to see a law in
11:15
order based on this video, Like there's some details missing.
11:20
I want to see the court trial after the video out.
11:24
But I think I've been coming across like musicians lately,
11:28
and I just go, was that a guy? Was that
11:31
a thing? Was that? Uh? And and and watching the
11:34
video and being like because Cameyo, I guess was like
11:37
a whole group of like fourteen people or something. Yeah,
11:40
started off like sprawling, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait,
11:46
so in the video, is there like an inciting incident,
11:49
Like do we understand what the crime was that Cameo
11:52
was getting hemmed up for. They just we just know
11:54
they're going after them and they can just word their
11:57
way up out of there. Yeah, they're they're wording there
12:01
these wording is wording his way up out of it.
12:04
And uh, he said come out with his word up now.
12:07
He there was like an opening thing where he was like, alright, Camby,
12:14
we have the place surrounded, there's nothing else you can do.
12:18
And then and then when he when he comes out
12:21
with his group and they start singing. You know, sometimes
12:27
in screenwriting they say start in the middle, but I
12:29
do think you need to back up a little bit.
12:31
You know, you can't just start in the medal, right,
12:34
but I have some context of what's going on. I
12:37
remember playing that in our marching band, like in high school,
12:41
and at first I didn't I knew we were playing
12:44
a song called word Up, but the way it was
12:46
all like arranged, it didn't sound like the song to me,
12:49
and I was like, what the funk are we playing?
12:51
And then I was like, wait, we're playing the word
12:53
up like damn you, because yeah, it was not it
12:58
was not as funky as that one to just like
13:00
a big old brass band just playing a random notes
13:04
were they was Cameo the first person to wave his
13:07
hands in the air, as if he was verily indifferent
13:09
about it, about whether people cared or not. Yeah, yeah,
13:14
I mean that seems like low hanging fruit, you know,
13:17
like rapper wise. Yeah, someone had to be the first
13:21
person to say it, though, I mean, yeah, I don't know,
13:24
it's it's God, that's that's a real deep dive that
13:27
we need. Who truly asked the crowd to put their
13:31
hands in the air and wave them like they just
13:33
don't care. Yeah, a lot of people were caring too much,
13:37
you know, they're putting too much thought into their hands
13:40
waving around right. Yeah, And then they had they put
13:43
an end of that. In the nineties there was a
13:45
global record scratch sound and everybody went from being uptight,
13:49
people with their collars buttoned all the way up in
13:52
the little ties and horn rim glasses too. Yeah, the
13:58
hands that you don't care, as if that don't care
14:00
what something you think is overrated? I think baby pictures,
14:05
you know, I was, yeah, you know, because you show
14:08
me a baby picture and I don't I don't know.
14:11
I don't know what this is. I don't know if
14:13
this is your baby. I don't know if you found
14:16
this picture. You know you have you if you have
14:20
the actual baby. But you know, I'll be like, Okay,
14:23
well now we're onto something. This is something I can
14:25
sort of, you know, connect, because if the baby's smiling
14:29
in the picture, I don't know. If the baby is smiling, well,
14:31
it's not smiling at me. I don't even know if
14:34
this baby likes me, I can't interact with the baby.
14:37
I can't get to know the baby. I don't know
14:38
what this baby is all about. It might have views
14:41
that are different than mine that I disagree with, you know,
14:44
be about things that I'm against. And I just think
14:47
it's sort of a superficial, you know, sort of thing
14:51
to show me. And then you asked me to hold
14:53
the picture of the baby. That's not I don't even
14:55
know why people don't just look at hold the yet
15:04
so different let me get your picture holding the baby
15:08
picture and then yeah, yeah, that's the whole thing. Are
15:11
you talking about other people's baby, like being like check
15:14
out my baby or something like check out this picture
15:16
of me as a little fucking type huh oh yeah.
15:19
I think if that, if it's a picture of yourself
15:21
as the baby, then I can be like I can
15:24
look into its eyes and be like these are your eyes?
15:27
You know I can I get I get that. But
15:29
if it's just a picture of your baby, you know,
15:32
I don't don't give a shit. Yeah, you know what
15:36
I like to do. Sometimes I like to go they'll
15:39
show me a pictures say this, you go, oh, send
15:42
me that, and they get weirded out by that. You know,
15:45
people show you pictures of their kids. It's great, send
15:48
me those. You just end it right there. They're like,
15:52
you know what, don't that's a good way to put
15:56
people off from ever showing you. Yeah, they never show you.
16:00
You know what, Hold on me? Can you air drop me?
16:01
That is that live picture? Yeah, the live version though,
16:07
because I like to see a little the movement a
16:09
little bit. Oh man. It was like a million pictures
16:11
and one I I do so when people ask you
16:14
to hold the baby, though, I and uh, because I've
16:17
been around a lot more babies this past year. Everyone
16:19
had these babies, past pandemic babies, and uh. And you know,
16:24
I just the risk reward for holding babies wildly, you know.
16:29
It's it's I get a little bit of joy out
16:32
of holding the baby that I probably don't. I don't
16:35
remember most of the babies I held, you know, but
16:37
if if I dropped the baby, everyone's sad forever. Yeah.
16:42
So I feel like the risk reward is wildly uneven.
16:47
Do you have a do you have like a just
16:48
terrible holding style, like very precarious armlock? Yeah, familiar because
16:58
I'm using are you're supposed to a palm, a baby
17:01
head like a basketball, because like you're the number one
17:05
draft pick out, like swam Sull. What is something you
17:13
think is underrated? Nick? Disc golf started playing a lot
17:17
of frisbee golf golf. Yeah, I started playing a bunch.
17:22
I I played a bunch of high school college and
17:24
then uh and pandemic happened and there was nowhere else
17:27
to go and it really blew up. But I do
17:30
think that there's like this hate for it still because
17:33
when I say it to people, I get a lot
17:34
of eye rolls. I get a lot of really it
17:38
kills me people. So ESPN two started covering it at
17:42
least this this year past year, and I saw people
17:44
online ragging on it. Oh this isn't a sport. I
17:49
just loved it. Like the same guys that will like
17:52
rag for disc golf beyond ESPN two are the same
17:56
guys that will play you know, cornhole bag for three
18:00
weddings in a row. You know, like they love throwing
18:04
things in a thing, but if someone else is into it,
18:07
they're like, what how do you even get? All right? Also,
18:12
throwing a disk can be a very frustrating affair. Like
18:15
I'm one of the most wildly inconsistent heavers of the
18:19
disc I think I've ever met. Like, there are times
18:21
I could fucking like put it like on a baby's
18:24
head from like two dred yards away just gently landed.
18:28
Other times it's like fucking going behind me. I like,
18:31
where have I gone wrong? So I remember the one
18:33
time I tried disc golf, I had like the best
18:36
and worst time, Whereas like the times I could actually
18:38
get it that first throw, like when you're teeing off, yeah,
18:42
it feels good. Other times you're so bad you're like
18:44
met fuck. It's it is very similar to golf, where
18:47
it's frustrating a lot, but when you when you nail it,
18:51
you know, when you when it comes out of your
18:53
hand perfectly and it goes an extra hundred feet or
18:55
goes you're just like I'm understanding it. Now, are the
19:00
golf the disc golf courses like owned operated as disc
19:05
golf courses? Like? Is that? How does that work? They're
19:09
normally in in parks, you know, in a sort of
19:13
separate area of the park designed for that. It's free,
19:17
which is amazing. Uh, you know they have the ones
19:20
in Los Angeles there's like Kenneth Han Park, and then
19:23
there's uh was oak out in Pasadena. They have like
19:27
the first frisbee golf course in the world is out there,
19:32
Oh really by JPL. Yes, yes, yeah, that's where they
19:36
learned everything about propulsion. Yeah yeah, dude. Also an e
19:43
P a super fun site because it's just dumping a
19:46
bunch of like experimental fuels out there too. Like I
19:51
started growing a tail in the past year. Yes, the
19:56
radioactive rocket nuclear things and never been more thought right. Yeah,
20:04
but like they're not like cord like a golf course
20:07
for instance, is you're like fenced off, nobody's allowed on
20:11
unless you pay two thousand dollars a year, like they
20:14
are these disc golf courses, Like you see people Sometimes
20:20
you get to the course and there's people blissfully unaware
20:23
of what's happening around. Yeah. I've seen lovers being lovers
20:28
in between on the fairway and I'm kind of like,
20:30
I mean, this is it's a giant park. You gotta
20:33
you don't see what's happening around you, you know. I
20:36
don't know if people are like mad about it or
20:39
if they're just I don't know, but they're like I've
20:42
seen yeah, like just full picnics in the and you
20:45
just kind of like, well, I guess I'm not not
20:47
gonna play this whole. But then, like I have one guy,
20:50
I threw the disk and he was with his uh,
20:53
you know girlfriend, They're smooching, and then uh, he picks
20:57
up the disc and walked it back to me and
20:59
handed it to me, and I just wondered what he thought.
21:01
I was doing what they think that iliest boy in
21:07
the world and playing frisbee by myself, hoping that he'll
21:11
be your friend. Hey, sport, where's your dad's stake in Germany? Hey,
21:18
he'll be back soon. He'll be back soon. He says,
21:21
he's gonna bring me a give Ramstein's my favorite air
21:26
force base and band that. I think that's an underrated
21:30
thing about disc golf over golf is that throwing the
21:33
thing usually won't kill somebody if they happen to be
21:36
like wandering across the course and uh, nobody's I don't know.
21:40
I actually haven't seen you throw, so maybe like people
21:42
are at risk of being beheaded, But oh, I think
21:45
these things could it could whack you pretty good, some
21:48
of them, I think so, especially some of the guys
21:50
who could throw these drivers have a little more of
21:53
a edge on the on the end, you know, But yeah, yes,
21:58
some people just just blissful unaware through. Yeah, did you
22:03
ever start like learning new techniques to throw the disc
22:06
nick because you're getting super into it, like the X step,
22:10
like for that long range drive. I played for like
22:13
twenty years, I'd say, and then I didn't get any better,
22:18
no matter how much weed I smoked, it didn't get
22:19
any better. And then uh, and then I like I
22:23
kind of played at the beginning of the pandemic. I
22:25
was like, Man, this isn't fun. I suck at this
22:28
and I haven't gotten any better. I think the draw
22:31
to activities as you get better at it, and you're
22:33
always the best I've ever been, so you want to
22:35
keep going. And then I watched a YouTube video and
22:38
they were like, oh, yeah, you have to like reach
22:41
back and you know, and swivel your hips and you know, yeah,
22:46
get a little X step in there. And and then
22:48
I threw like way farther and it became a new
22:51
way to play. I knew more fun because I got
22:54
better at it. And it's amazing that YouTube. You could
22:58
just watched YouTube and like, I know how to do this.
23:02
Thing now that I could have learned the entire time
23:04
I was doing it. Yeah, I think that's underrated. Like
23:08
in terms of like basketball, I think people like kids
23:11
are getting better at basketball because of YouTube, Like you
23:16
just can NonStop see like all the greatest things anyone's
23:19
ever done on a on a basketball court, like, and
23:23
I mean that's good for the game. I feel this
23:25
is like one shitty VHS tape that that's Jefferson over
23:29
in the eighties. Yeah, I had dazzling dunks and basketball bloopers,
23:33
and let's say my game was more influenced by the
23:36
bloopers than there was so many bloopers back that. I
23:44
don't know if people just got better at sports it was,
23:46
but there was just I just feel like balls were
23:49
always bouncing off people's heads and going in and hearts
23:52
of any stuff. Yeah, alright, let's take a quick break
23:56
and we'll come back and uh talk about Trump. And
24:10
we're back and so you know, we're kind of at
24:14
a in between stage, see him, what's gonna happen. We
24:18
we got the mid terms coming up and then uh
24:21
probably straight into the Republican primaries right to see who's
24:26
gonna take on Joe Biden fighting Joe, and I think
24:31
a lot I've always assumed it was gonna be Trump, right, Yeah.
24:34
I think most people have because he's been saying it
24:36
and everyone and I think everyone's nightmares that and we're like, yeah,
24:41
we're all fucked. Most of my night where nightmares come
24:43
to pass, So it'll be Trump. Somebody introduced him as president,
24:50
he said, so he's you don't want to call your
24:56
shots too early there, Donald, But yeah, they're like this
25:00
kind of story though about the fatigue, I think has
25:02
been something. It's it's been happening since we saw the
25:06
like the entire GOP just capitulate and be like, yeah,
25:09
whatever you want Trump whatever. People are like, oh, it
25:12
depends on what I'm gonna have to swing the other
25:13
way because you know, politics is still a game of egos.
25:17
But it does seem I don't know, like over the
25:19
last couple of weeks, we've started to see more and more,
25:22
you know, indicators that feel a little more substantial in
25:25
terms of like that the mood is more outwardly kind
25:28
of like I don't know, yeah, maybe that guy's my dad.
25:31
I don't know, like's not sort of the same before
25:34
it's like, yes, daddy, but now it's like the step
25:36
kid energy. And yeah, we've seen things like a lot
25:39
of the old school goop guard describing January six as
25:43
a violent insurrection and that it shouldn't have happened, and
25:46
its like is bad, and it was like, what the
25:48
fuck what are they saying? They're not that's against their
25:52
like agreed upon programming, like we're where what what what
25:55
exactly is happening. On top of that, there's also stories
25:58
about how our favorite litill faced fascist, Mitch McConnell, has
26:02
like a counter recruitment program to find people to go
26:06
up against like trump ist picks, or at the very least,
26:08
people who aren't going to feel beholden to Trump when
26:11
they're like running for office or eventually get into office,
26:14
to try and see like if they can kind of
26:17
wrestle some kind of power back. But then, like this
26:19
sounds getting even louder. Over the weekend, Washington Post publishing
26:23
a story that's talking about how like Republican leadership is
26:26
like they're having more closed door meetings where they are
26:28
out loud beginning to question like what Trump's you know, what,
26:33
what the what the benefit is of having Trump lead things?
26:36
And that if everyone needs to be listening to what
26:38
he's doing, or it's a losing strategy to keep crying
26:42
about the election because you know, they don't they're not
26:45
sure that's actually the best strategy. When you couple that
26:48
with like things out of the r NC calling January
26:51
six legitimate political discourse, so you know those are that's
26:55
kind of like everything that's swirling around now that's a
26:57
little bit different than before. But I think more than that,
27:01
like the question is more about, like are they ideating
27:04
on how to close Pandora's box, Because whether or not
27:08
you think Trump's the leader or you can make moves
27:10
to sort of distance yourselves from him, the fact remains
27:15
that he has created a whole new evolution within the
27:18
party that they're still gonna have to contend with. No
27:21
matter if they'd be like, well, he's not like we're
27:23
not gonna listen to him anymore. That's supporters are still
27:26
on a very different media diet, right. You can't you
27:30
can't write him off ever, you know, I mean, even
27:33
though I feel like sort of the sequel is never
27:35
as good as the original, and uh, and sometimes people
27:39
still think people will enjoy things that were popular a
27:42
long time ago, and uh, it's it's amazing how popularity fades.
27:47
There's no there's no comic that's been like great forever.
27:52
There's no band that's been like the top band forever.
27:55
I heard so on the other day there is a
27:56
story about how they didn't know who Madonna was, and
27:59
it's crazy. No matter, just things have their moment, and
28:03
that sort of like makes me feel like his moment
28:06
is past and it's time to find a new moment.
28:09
And I think that party might sort of like understand that.
28:13
It's also interesting, though, that this Trump fatigue that you
28:16
talk about, I think works both ways, because like I'm
28:21
fatigued of the you know, all these like documents and
28:26
papers that they're finding about him allegedly blushing down the
28:30
toilet and all this kind of stuff. I have a
28:34
hard time caring. And I know that I should, you know,
28:38
I know that I should, but I've just been listening
28:41
to everything he's done for so long that even though
28:44
like this is the insurrection is like, you know, arguably
28:47
one of the most serious things that he's been a
28:50
part of, you know, and all this January six stuff,
28:53
I'm getting fatigued, you know, like investing myself into this
28:59
and seeing if, oh, do they have enough to charge
29:02
him and they have enough to all that stuff, And
29:04
I think that's a I shame on me. I get
29:07
shame on me, but I'm I'm a little fatigued on
29:09
on that kind of stuff too. And I'm curious how
29:12
that will lend itself to things coming up as well.
29:15
We will a portion of the population forget how serious
29:19
these sort of things are that he did, right, Yeah,
29:23
I think, I mean we've talked before about how that
29:25
happened in the Nazi Germany. That like, when Hitler was
29:29
first coming on the scene, he was from page news,
29:33
but by the time he actually took power, it was like, no,
29:37
nobody was really talking about him on a daily, day
29:39
to day basis because they're just fucking tired of it.
29:42
And so it's like they wear you down, You're less
29:46
interested because everything's already been said about the thing. And
29:49
that that was at a time when they were like,
29:52
you know, only a handful of newspapers and you know,
29:56
there weren't a billion podcasts. So yeah, I do think
29:59
that's a that's a real danger, and I don't know,
30:02
there's also polling that says it's like things have reversed.
30:07
Where people used to be more likely to be more
30:10
supportive of Trump than the Republican Party. Now it's like flipped.
30:14
But I completely inverted, completely inverted. I don't know. The
30:21
polling has just never made me feel better after after
30:25
when the polling was like, this is going to be
30:29
the biggest wipe out in the history of electoral politics.
30:33
Oh yeah, that's and anyone, like I just feel like
30:36
they haven't quite fixed that yet, because that was again
30:39
supposed to be the deal with Biden and it was
30:41
a squeaker Yeah, yeah, yeah, they have they haven't fixed it,
30:46
you know. I think I think Trump is a lesson
30:49
and if you if you really want to get away
30:51
with crime, the key is to do as much crime
30:55
as possible, do do as many bad things as possible.
31:00
Are be a be a proxy of bad things where
31:03
you didn't really do you know, you were just far
31:05
enough away from it that you're connected to it, but
31:08
nobody can pin anything on you. And do that enough
31:11
times so that when you really are guilty of something,
31:15
you've been accused of so many things so many times
31:17
that people don't put a lot of weight to it.
31:19
I think this is the Charlie Sheen model. You know,
31:21
I think this is like, you know, there's people who
31:23
have just done so many things you can't even remember
31:25
what they actually did, and they sort of get to
31:29
get away with all this stuff. But it is interesting
31:32
McConnell sort of speaking up, you know, on behalf of
31:36
the two Republicans that sort of are on the you know,
31:39
January sixth committee is interesting. It's it's nice to see
31:43
that there's some sort of conscious even if it's I
31:46
don't know what what is motivated by Yeah, that's like that.
31:50
It's it's to not be infuriated by him for one second,
31:55
was nice, right, Yeah. And you know, if you ask
31:58
him about this, like, hey, man, the reports say, like
32:01
you you might you're you're losing your grip a little
32:04
bit on the party. Trump very certainly came out to
32:07
say that's not the case, because of course he doesn't
32:10
live in any reality where he's not number one god king.
32:14
But he said, quote, I am almost unblemished in the
32:16
victory count and it's okay, sure, I like that. And
32:24
it's considered by the real polsters to be the strongest
32:26
endorsement in US political history. Interesting goes on to say quote,
32:31
there are plenty of existing politicians who wouldn't be in
32:33
power now where it not for my endorsement, Like the
32:35
old crow just in a parenthetical yelling at the old
32:43
um like the old crow, Oh yeah, Mitch McConnell. You know,
32:46
he called he's name, and then he goes out and
32:51
say the fake news is everything within their power to
32:53
diminish and be little. But the people know and the
32:56
politicians seeking the capital e endorsement. Really no, I mean,
33:04
you've got more people those saying like I should, I'd run,
33:07
so people aren't necessarily shook to their corners to not
33:10
even begin to But I don't know, at the end
33:12
of the day, he's gonna start doing his like stupid
33:15
dancing and yelling racist ship and I have a feeling
33:18
pole be like, yes, this is an outrage, but you know,
33:23
it's it's interesting. I feel like, you know, Trump's rise
33:26
kind of came out of this like reaction to Obama
33:30
getting elected president, right, and so that he and then
33:34
all these people were got, you know, and so he's
33:36
sort of it was the voice of this, like I think,
33:39
a negative reaction. And but but now it's all vaccine mandates,
33:45
it's all you know, masks and and and Trump's not
33:49
really a huge part of that conversation. It's more like
33:52
De Santis and and and glenn yn can governor Virginia
33:56
to Santis Florida. And I feel like if these guys
34:00
are sort of now the voice of all these people,
34:03
you know, it makes them a lot more viable candidates,
34:07
you know, than than Trump is just sort of this mascot.
34:11
You know. The fact that Trump came out and said
34:13
get a vaccine that, yeah, that like divided his base.
34:17
You know, he's if he's gonna be a populist president,
34:20
he can't you know, he can't like you gotta say
34:23
what they want to hear. Uh, you know, it's he
34:26
kind of bail on his own sort of again. I
34:29
appreciated that he did, you know, but if the next
34:33
candidate for the Republicans to somebody that's the voice of
34:36
these people that are mad, I don't know if Trump
34:39
still their voice. He can't let himself not take credit
34:43
for the vaccine. I think that like that is the
34:47
that could be his fatal flaw. Like that is kind
34:49
of the most hopeful I've been that he's not going
34:51
to come back with like a deadlier second wave of
34:54
Trump is um is that he can't stop like taking
34:59
credit for the vaccine, and that will therefore because that
35:03
seems to I I do think though, that like that
35:06
becomes less and less the main like a a salient
35:10
point for the right wing, because if the pandemic becomes
35:16
less and less like central to everyday life, then like
35:20
they go back to their old stand by racism and
35:24
Trump's Trump's like you know, start salivating, and we're in trouble.
35:28
I also just feel like we're still our society and
35:31
media ecosystem is still constructed in such a way that narcissism,
35:36
like especially like just malignant monomaniacal narcissism the way that
35:42
like Trump has it is still the cheak code for
35:46
our society, like the you know, as as long as
35:50
people like Jake, Paul and Trump and Kanye are still
35:55
able to just like dominate just with like pure narcissistic
36:00
instincts just dominate mainstream discourse, I feel like, you know,
36:04
narcissism finds a way in modern America. It's I don't
36:08
want to jump to another topic, but even seeing some
36:10
of the reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show yesterday,
36:12
It was very disappointing, and it felt that, Oh yeah,
36:17
there's a lot of what propelled Trump to you know,
36:20
the top is still very prevalent as far as ignorance goes. Yeah,
36:26
it was sexual anarchy. I mean, let's take a quick
36:30
break and we'll we'll come right back and talk about
36:32
that halftime show. Edward Back and Nick. It sounds like
36:47
you went to a Super Bowl party. Yes, nice, Yeah,
36:52
Oh that sound cool. I hadn't been to one for years.
36:57
What are those like? Like a bunch of friends, probably
36:59
like having pizza and stuff. And Bruce betting on squares
37:04
he did the squares, Mr Squares. Those are fun, pretty fun.
37:09
I made three dips for just myself. It was very sad.
37:16
What did you make? I did, uh, homemade caeso. I
37:20
made homemade Waca mole. And I just am throwing the
37:23
homemade in there because I'm just still so amazed. I
37:26
think it's obvious that I from the premise that it's homemade,
37:29
but that's how excited I am about it. And then
37:31
I had made a spinach on a choke, oh ship,
37:35
and it wasn't terrible. So do you ever do queso
37:39
with breakfast sausage? In it. No, oh man, he's TechEd.
37:43
My friends from Texas showed me that ship years ago.
37:45
I was like, what are you? I was at a
37:47
super Bowl party they were I'm like, what the funk
37:49
is this? They're like wall Vita Rotel and crumbled up
37:53
breakfast sausage and that ship. Oh r, I p all
37:59
of your organs. You know it's because you know, a
38:01
good gravy's got some sausage chunks in it, and maybe
38:04
we know we need to put more sausage chunks in
38:08
our lives. Just yeah, So Miles, it sounds like you
38:13
didn't watch, but you did tune in for the halftime show.
38:15
Is that correct? Yeah? I the only the only because
38:17
I don't know anything about about the NFL aside from
38:22
the teams that were in it. And then in my
38:23
mind I was like, oh, should I make like a
38:26
Cincinnati chili to celebrate this, because that's like a regional
38:29
food I'd like to eat. But no, I I definitely
38:32
waited for that. I basically saw after the halftime show.
38:35
I had it on passively and I was like, oh, interesting, Yeah, okay,
38:39
so we were excited for the halftime show right when
38:42
we announced it. It lived up to my excitement I was,
38:46
I mean, I was. I wish there was more Kendrick.
38:49
I wish it was. Yeah, I wish there was more Kendrick.
38:53
That's all. That would be my only note. But otherwise
38:55
it ruled um. When Kendrick came on, I got emotional. Yeah, dude,
39:01
Her Majesty was looking at me. She's like, yo, you
39:02
are right. When I heard all it's my life and
39:09
I was like, he even do all right this right now?
39:12
And I'm like, I haven't heard Kendrick. We needed you,
39:14
We needed to hear from you. And she saw a
39:17
single tear come down my cheek and I like, wipe
39:19
that ship away, and I was like I just needed
39:21
to see him. But yeah, it was. It was great.
39:25
Everything was super great. Man. I mean, I wish they
39:29
gave Mary Jason more time to like, I like, there's
39:32
something that there could have been a little more balanced
39:36
everything like I didn't. I would have done for more
39:38
Mary j and less fifty cent like I didn't. I
39:41
could have done more Mary j and Kendrick and less.
39:44
Yeah do him rapping. He was. I was out of
39:48
breath watching him. I was worried about him recovering from that.
39:52
Upside down stunt because oh yeah, he was fucked up
39:56
when something and he sounded like rhn de Santis when
40:01
he was trying to hide his COVID. That like stan
40:07
chera out here Trump's friend who died anyways. But yeah,
40:11
so I mean it seemed pretty universal among the saying
40:18
like that was a good halftime show, right, Yeah, I
40:21
for a second it was so good that I was like, wait,
40:24
are the halftime shows good? And I just forgot or
40:28
haven't watched in a long time because I feel like
40:31
I always changed the channel or went out, so I
40:33
don't think I ever watched, and i'd see something about
40:35
a Katy Perry shark or something later on. And I
40:38
I have images of Aerosmith and run DMC skipping together
40:43
and being very awkward and and like when two different
40:49
groups have their backs guitar o, you know, doing that
40:53
singling or they lane and sing and my guitar and
40:58
it's like they're mad different justin timber Lake does half
41:02
of a lyric and then that guy it just it
41:05
does it. But this was great to see everybody have
41:09
their own moment and uh, and it didn't feel like forced.
41:13
It was they all go together. It was you know, yeah,
41:17
and there was no sharks. It was like such a
41:21
West Coast affair though. Yeah, my other note more sharks
41:25
more you wanted more sharks. Yeah, people love the shark
41:28
and they hated the shark. I think underrated at this point.
41:32
That was wild, just so maximalist and so like in
41:36
the in the right lane for the Super Bowl. But yeah,
41:39
so this one of the best, like up there with
41:43
Prince two things people are talking about in the aftermath.
41:46
Eminem was supposedly not supposed to kneel, according to the
41:52
Like I think it's his side is saying that they
41:55
told him he wasn't allowed to kneel, and he still kneeled.
41:57
Definitely seem that way from the emer work, where like
42:01
they whipped away from him when he kneeled. But then
42:04
I couldn't couldn't really avoid it because he was kneeling
42:06
next to Dre as he was playing the piano, which
42:09
I think everyone's like, whoa Dre is playing the piano?
42:13
That was pretty cool. But they also did not let
42:18
Kendrick like say, the part of all right that is
42:22
kind of the the key part that's kind of thee
42:26
and we hate Pope po Yeah. One this kills dead,
42:30
and I mean, yeah that I think a lot of
42:33
people were talking comparatively, right because Dre and still Dre said,
42:37
you know, still ain't got love for police, and they're like,
42:40
and he did say that line, So people were like, well,
42:43
you know, there there is that part. And I guess
42:45
it's less than that they hate Poppo. But yeah, I
42:49
mean that's the NFL. I couldn't. I was even surprised
42:53
Dre even said still I got love for police, and
42:56
and it's also along with that too. As as much
42:58
as like the end fels like, no, we never said
43:01
we never told Eminem to not do that. That feels
43:04
like a very pr thing to be, like, don't fucking
43:07
say we told him not to like the white guy Neil.
43:11
That's like the they'll black ball you from the league
43:14
completely if you know you're Colin Kaepernick, but they let
43:18
Eminem Neil also feels weird to me. Yeah, well, you
43:21
know that's that's the NFL for you, focus right, like
43:25
you know, it's it's a it's a carnival of all
43:27
kinds of contradictions. But yeah, I am glad to see that.
43:31
My prediction of mass crip walking choreograph crip walking. As
43:35
I predicted, that did come to pass, and it looked
43:37
so cool. It was, although not in the way that
43:39
I thought we would be like a bunch of like kids,
43:42
like volunteer kids, like sea walking kids and see Jean jackets.
43:49
But you know again, because everything is about exploitation. Important
43:54
to note, Uh, those dancers, they don't get paid for
43:57
the halftime show, but they get paid in exposure because
44:00
their careers are going to take off. If you pause
44:03
this one wide shot, I'm this little speck in the
44:06
corn I saw you there are from the right. That's
44:12
amazing that they don't get paid, Like, how how is
44:15
that even justified internally? Like in the one guy's ticket,
44:24
could could give them all a hundred bucks, you know,
44:26
and give them drink tickets that they can at least
44:28
get a beer at the concession stand, you know exactly. Yeah,
44:31
but no, that's not happen. They give them drink tickets,
44:34
but you was only redeemable for pepsi and pepsi products.
44:38
I will say that the super Bowl party I was
44:40
at the super Bowl halftime. We enjoyed it so much
44:42
that when it flowed right into the pepsi we all
44:44
started chanting PEPSI and uh, I think I felt that
44:49
it worked. Yeah, succeed succeeded on that. Still not loving
44:53
Police is such a like just now that that's in focus,
44:57
because that was the one they let them say is
45:00
such a strange lyric like just still I'm not loving him?
45:05
Still love them? Yeah, or they're like, hey, now, Dre,
45:13
is it still fun the police? When you're I'm still
45:16
not loving him? I'm still not loving him. You know,
45:20
he getting my favorite I'm not loving him? Well you
45:23
think I sold all my guns? Yeah? Wow, it's like yeah,
45:28
he's like he still want he won't to say fund
45:30
the police though, who was like, nah, no, not loving him?
45:35
Next time, next time somebody cuts me off on the highway,
45:37
I'm not gonna say fun you ms say I don't
45:39
love you. I'm not loving you. I'm not loving you.
45:43
Not loving that move right there, definitely not loving that.
45:48
The one thing I do want to say is m
45:50
v P though. Are those dancers because when they played
45:52
they started playing still d r E, they the track
45:55
fucked up like multiple times. Yeah, that's weird. The count
46:00
got thrown off, like the one like kept skipping. I
46:03
was like, oh ship, we got to see some like
46:05
girl you know it's girl, you know like type ship,
46:10
but we didn't, and the dancers still fucking found the beat,
46:15
like even though it got sucked up. So that's how
46:17
I that's how you know that some songs people just
46:19
inherently know from that little piano lick, like where the
46:22
beats supposed to come in. Oh yeah, that's that song
46:25
is just tattooed on all everyone's souls. Who has been
46:30
allowed for the past thirty forty years? All right? And
46:33
then Charlie Kirk came through with the called the Super
46:37
Bowl halftime show sexual anarchy, which sounds red, but he
46:41
apparently meant it as a bad thing. Yeah, I would
46:44
see that sex. Yeah. Yeah. His direct tweet is the
46:49
NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. This halftime
46:52
show should not be allowed on television. I don't know what,
46:57
like what part is he there? There was not a
47:01
lot of sex on the stage and in the crowd.
47:05
It was a scheduled tweet. He loaded that up a
47:07
week ago. Yeah, and just I assume this is gonna
47:10
be relevant next see. I think he like this is
47:14
you know, reveals some of the weird sexual baggage tied
47:17
up in white supremacists and like white supremacy behatred of
47:21
black culture is like you know that AOC was like
47:26
commented on it was like, see, I mean I called
47:28
them freaks, and like this is what I meant, Like
47:32
they're they're all fucked up, like with regards to all
47:36
of their hatred and ship like that. Like the fact
47:39
that he saw that show, I was like, well, what
47:43
the fuck, Like that's that's sexual terrorists. No, you know
47:47
what the problem is, they just can't say the same
47:50
ship over and over. Just I don't like seeing black
47:52
people happy, right, that's it. But they have to fucking
47:56
find a new wordy way to say that second shu
48:00
anarchy you're talking about, Like what you want to say
48:05
is too many black people on TV, too much black
48:08
excellence on the television. We're showing people that this is
48:11
good when I don't like it and that that's bad
48:13
for me. I wish it was just all a bunch
48:15
of Travis trips and ship. And you know that's why
48:20
it's funny because fucking Candice Owens around the same time
48:24
tweets this is an excellent Super Bowl halftime performance. Undeniable
48:29
hip hop and r and b excellence and you're like, okay,
48:32
this wow. But I guess on some level, even like
48:38
with her internalized throughout racism, she still couldn't look at
48:41
that and say this is bad. She's like no, this this, this,
48:44
this is good. This is good. Did she forget the
48:47
act for a second. I never know. Well, it's funny
48:50
someone there. Her following tweet was someone saying, hey, better
48:53
be careful. Your fellow conservatives like might cancel you. And
48:56
then did. The whole thing is like who I am
48:59
just not define and what I like, you know, kind
49:01
of a thing about, which is sort of similar to like,
49:03
just because I am black, it doesn't mean I'm a Democrat,
49:07
or just because I'm a conservative doesn't mean I hate
49:09
everything that's black, just parts of myself. So you know
49:14
it it shows us that there is something so widely
49:17
pervasive about hip hop, because you could tell the whole
49:21
stadium like went up, even the people who overpaid for
49:24
their tickets who might normally not listen to hip hop,
49:28
that a lot of that music was like the like
49:31
literally the like the sonic fabric of a certain era.
49:34
So it's hard to get around it. Oh yeah, everybody
49:37
has partied to that. You know, even if you never
49:40
you know, there's everybody's enjoyed that. Everybody. It's one of
49:44
those songs that come on and you're just like, hell yeah.
49:47
And I think a lot of these people actually enjoy
49:49
it too. They just don't want to admit it. They
49:50
want to go on their social media and pretend it's
49:53
just so weird. I would never if it was a
49:54
bunch of country people at the halftime show, I would
49:57
never go, there's nothing here in form me. I would
50:01
understand that this is sort of like, you know, they're
50:04
outside Englewood. You know, they're sort of doing like, you know,
50:07
the West Coast thing and a tribute to l A
50:10
and the and the artists from there. How do you
50:12
not understand that? Why are you complaining? How come they
50:15
don't have anybody from Detroit? You know they're mad there.
50:19
That's right, they did, they did have somebody to try.
50:23
There's still bad real quick, do we want to cover
50:27
off on some Super Bowl ads? I don't know the
50:31
like there. So you mentioned the Larry David one, which
50:35
was like how much money? How much money do you
50:38
need in your life? Because also Larry David feels like
50:43
the type of guy that he would be so annoyed
50:46
to have to go shoot a commercial so put off
50:49
by it, so in Crypto on top of it, Yeah,
50:54
what what was in it for him? The family? They
50:58
must be overpaying so many because and then I mean
51:02
it's a smart strategy because you get the celebrities on
51:05
board and then they have a bunch of like that.
51:08
I think I read somewhere that Matt Damon is paid
51:10
with like ownership of Crypto dot com or whatever, like
51:15
not owning it out right, but having a lot, so
51:18
it's now in his interest for this to be a thing.
51:21
I don't know what what Larry David's deal is. It
51:25
sucked because it was like a solid like SNL sketch
51:29
with a fucking f T like a crypto like punch
51:34
lines just like right, yeah, man, no was it funny?
51:37
I I didn't. I couldn't hear it because of the party.
51:40
I mean, if you like Larry David like he's doing,
51:43
he's doing the funny thing. Yeah, skeptical, a skeptical Larry,
51:49
And that's like his character throughout the thing. One thing
51:52
that jam our writer pointed out was like the negotiations
51:55
took six weeks for him to agree to do that,
51:58
So you know, I don't know, I don't know what
52:00
the funk he was asking for and what ended up
52:02
being paid. But also that shows you the fact that
52:06
the fact that his his endorsement is him saying don't
52:09
buy an f T or like this bullshit. The premise
52:13
of the commercial is him saying like fuck no to
52:17
various like great ideas, like he's like telling Edison not
52:21
like not great work on the light bulb and ship
52:23
like that, and then it ends with him telling somebody
52:27
who's like pitching him this n f T product, like
52:31
he doesn't love it. And so I mean, the fact
52:35
the fact that it took that much legal work, like
52:38
I'm assuming that that was very much part of the negotiations.
52:43
But still you can't get away with that man that Yeah,
52:45
well you know they get for all those people. I mean,
52:49
it's just like we need more, we need more people
52:51
to buy into this so they think it's an investment
52:54
and not a gamble, like they're doing a damn good job.
52:58
Somebody on Twitter was like, man, all these crypto ads
53:01
remind me of all the dot com ads I found
53:03
two thousands on the super Bowl right before it all filimrkyah,
53:09
but yeah, I mean it's all you know, probe as
53:13
part of the game, you got to get more people
53:14
in the casino. Yeah. The only other one I want
53:17
to bring up is that they did a Sopranos reunion.
53:20
Did you watch that, Miles? I heard about it, that
53:23
Meadow and a j were in a thing, but I
53:27
didn't actually look because I tried to watch The Many
53:30
Saints of Newark on the airplane and it broke my heart.
53:33
I've never turned a film off on an airplane in
53:35
my life except for that one. So I was like,
53:37
I'm good, I'm good right now in this Damn it's
53:40
so bad. Uses for like, I would rather sit here
53:42
and stare at nothing. Yeah, I would rather watch Flight Map,
53:47
my second favorite film. Honestly, dude, did you have you
53:53
seen it? No? Oh my god, the opening fucking is ridiculous. Yeah,
54:00
I've heard. Well, it's not even it's worth watching. Just
54:03
you'd be like, okay, all right, I don't they think
54:06
I'm stupid. But no, I saw all that to say, no,
54:10
I didn't see that wonderful. What is it like for
54:12
Chevy or something. Yeah, it's the first ever all electric
54:16
Chevy Silverado and it's just Meadow driving to meet up
54:20
with a j and like they recreate the intro and
54:24
that's it, basically recreate the intro, but she's doing the driving.
54:28
But it does, you know, suggest that they were not
54:32
killed in that final episode, which happy for them. What
54:37
did they say that it was a whole family or
54:38
just Tony got gunned down? Chase came out and basically
54:42
admitted that Tony got killed. And then this is apparently
54:47
like with the blessing of David Chase, So then they
54:49
didn't get hit in that diner. Yeah, that's the thing.
54:53
And yeah, and then they pivot into what better way
54:55
to soothe your trauma of watching your father get murdered
54:58
in front of you had a family dinner? Then the
55:00
All New Electric Exactly. They shot it on original locations,
55:05
two stars from the Yeah, Jamie Lenn Siegler and Robert Eisler,
55:09
all shot by original crew members of the HBO series
55:12
and sanctioned by creator David Chase. I mean, yeah, exactly.
55:19
Well it was probably not yeah, no, that's good. I
55:23
I you guys get my vision, so let's make this.
55:27
Or maybe he did it. Maybe he was like, if
55:28
you're doing it hire all my crew. Yeah, that's true.
55:31
Like if you do it, you have to hire them.
55:33
You have to do that. Like I'm not letting some
55:34
agency do this. You hire them. Fine, Yeah, maybe that's
55:38
maybe he is. Maybe that that's the that's the story.
55:41
Yeah yeah, So is this canon? Is this part of
55:44
the Sopranos universe? I think it might be right. It
55:48
was sanctioned by creator David Chase. We'll have to wait
55:51
and watch the interview where he comes out in the
55:54
next week. I was like, fuck that, that's bullshit. I
55:57
never said anything, but I was laughing about this with
56:00
my friends. Just a stupid idea of like if Sopranos
56:03
were around now, like imagine them talking about Crypto and
56:09
you know, like I would love to bring it back,
56:11
and we see Polly talking about and like what like
56:14
what is this? It's like it's like a is that?
56:19
And then it's worth it's worth I don't know. It's
56:22
a product that's designed to make everybody sounds like a
56:27
character from Sopranos in trying to explain it to one another,
56:30
because it's basically impossible to explain, and like that is
56:34
what is keeping it in in business? I think I
56:38
would love if if if it turned out that they
56:41
created it. And there you know, Monday Laundering scheme, it's
56:45
the biggest scheme of all time before this, Yes, Sanitation
56:49
and Crypto or the mobs, Big Big covers Old Nick.
56:55
Such a pleasure having you, man, where can people find you?
56:58
Follow you? All that goods? Uh? Yeah, I mean so
57:02
check out Disingenuous. It's this movie I just I spent
57:06
It's a stand up film, but it's sort of like
57:08
a mockumentary. It's me running around Chicago and it gets uh,
57:13
there's sort of a surreal nous to it or this
57:16
like maybe some multiverse time travel aspects of it. But
57:19
I wanted to do with something really bizarre for a
57:22
stand up special. And uh and and this is what
57:24
I did so you can get You can find that
57:25
on Amazon Prime. It's the and if you're around the world,
57:29
I think it's on video. I always want to say
57:32
Venmo there, Yeah, yeah, that'll it'll soon be on Venmo
57:37
a platform, I'm sure. Yeah, my favorite content makers. And
57:43
is there a tweet or some of the work of
57:45
social media you've been enjoying, Well, you know, what's I
57:48
don't know if I'm enjoying it. But I thought this
57:51
was interesting to say because this was in my head
57:54
and this thing happens sometimes on social media. But somebody
57:59
tweeted this guy. Brian the Ruler tweeted this. MF dropped
58:05
one song and dipped and it's the Guyote. It's guyot Oot.
58:14
That's definitely what his name. Hey where Guyote? Maybe if
58:20
he was Guyote still be around? Yeah? Really? Oh boy, Okay,
58:25
scary Guyote, famous third basement, paid for the Cubs and Reds.
58:33
It's got yeah, yeah, it's good man, this guy Guyote,
58:44
keeper dogs inside. Guyotes in the neighborhood. Guys. Yeah, it's
58:49
just something like god guy who lives in Runyon Canyon. Right, Oh,
58:56
you've never heard of the Guyote. He's a mail in
59:00
a gramm who lurks around running, can you. It's like
59:05
cryptozoology talks of the Guyote taking people's babies and taking
59:09
their picture and putting them back. So then so so
59:12
then somebody retweets this and it says, now he's just
59:16
somebody that we used to know. Okay, it's a very
59:20
satisfying joke, right, It's it's almost but here's here's that's
59:27
as good as this this tiny story gets because after
59:31
that the story goes and this thing happens on Twitter.
59:35
Sometimes thousands of people start tweeting the same exact joke.
59:40
And that's the part that I always think is so bizarre.
59:43
There's this like weird robot army of people that see
59:47
something and it's like, oh, that's funny, I will do
59:51
it too. And I don't understand it because I think
59:54
a lot of these accounts are like bots. And I've
59:58
seen it before and a couple other Joe, because I'll
1:00:00
see a joke I like, and then I'll I'll google it.
1:00:02
The first time I just said, I went back to
1:00:04
Twitter to try to find it to show somebody, and
1:00:06
then I saw like thousands of the same joke again
1:00:09
it and it's just weird, Like, I don't know, have
1:00:12
you seen this happen before? Yeah, I mean you'll you'll
1:00:16
typically see a tweet just blow up, and then you
1:00:19
see a bunch of people just doing the same joke
1:00:21
on their account because probably people don't have the same
1:00:23
things on their timeline, and then they get like a
1:00:25
fraction of the regions people like oh this is genius.
1:00:27
I'm like, look at the time, they just fucking ripped
1:00:30
this tweet off from like three hours ago. And then
1:00:32
there's also a parallel thinking which like is also you know,
1:00:37
sometimes happening, and that like gives the person an out.
1:00:40
But yeah, but sometimes it's also I see this though,
1:00:43
like even like on TikTok though two, like there are
1:00:45
just certain forms to videos, and then people just want
1:00:49
to keep doing the same joke over and over and
1:00:51
over again. And I think I think we might be
1:00:54
looking at it differently as people you know who like
1:00:57
labor over sometimes like thinking of like a poke or
1:01:00
whatever versus other people. It's just really fun to do
1:01:02
something funny or be funny, type something funny, and the
1:01:06
relationship might be different. But yeah, I see that a
1:01:08
lot too, like on TikTok, And I'm like, are y'all,
1:01:11
but don't you feel like, like, do something slightly different,
1:01:14
don't just do the same video, But yeah, get your
1:01:18
CLIs at least a take, at least if you know.
1:01:20
I always say when someone remakes the song and they
1:01:23
almost just do a note by note exact replica of
1:01:26
the It's like, well then why cover it? Have have
1:01:28
your own take on it? And I guess I see
1:01:30
what you're saying, like we told, you know, we tell
1:01:34
street jokes to each other and we don't think anything
1:01:36
of it. These are jokes everybody tells. But this in
1:01:39
the social media where it feels like you're kind of
1:01:41
putting yourself out, there is ownership of all the content
1:01:44
because there is a reward system for that, and it
1:01:47
is weird to see, like the one that you're you know,
1:01:49
like there's the guy who bumps into the door frame
1:01:53
in the eighties and nine. You know, he's tough in
1:01:56
the seventies, he's a little hurt, in the eighties, he
1:01:59
cries in the IDEs. The two thousands, he calls upon
1:02:01
or whatever, and that's right. I've seen that thousand times.
1:02:04
And then I saw another one. This one was so
1:02:06
specific because it was kind of long. It's like it
1:02:09
was something where like a girl the guy starring, and
1:02:13
the girls slaps him in the face and it looks
1:02:16
like he's not gonna do anything, but then he like
1:02:19
pulls the cover over her head and I think farts
1:02:23
or something. But it's something like that, and it's so
1:02:26
like detailed that I was surprised that people would do
1:02:29
the exact whole thing again. And it feels to me,
1:02:33
like if you were to stand up open Bike and
1:02:35
and somebody went up and did a joke and someone's like,
1:02:39
that's hilarious, and everybody at the Open mind decided to
1:02:42
go up and do that. Yeah, in a way, I
1:02:46
would love to see that and just watch people Like
1:02:49
it's almost like a fucking Olympic like weightlifting, where it's
1:02:52
like y'all are all going for the same weight that
1:02:54
you're lifting, but someone might finesse it just that little
1:02:57
bit more, And so I'm like, dude, that's my fucking joke.
1:03:00
And I was like, honestly, you know they told that
1:03:02
ship way better than better. Yeah, I steaks joke telling.
1:03:09
I would that'd be interesting stand up show, the led
1:03:13

longer the rapper with the worst response to a Kim
1:03:42
leaving him. Yeah, used to think Kanye is fully taking
1:03:50
that one, and at Andy Levy tweeted, Okay, well, if
1:03:53
Tupac didn't come back for that, I guess it's official.
1:03:58
That was that was one of my mind. Let's see
1:04:01
