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.

Speaker 1
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one, nine, episode
00:03
two of their Daily Action of My Heart Radio. This
00:08
is a podcast where we take a deep dive into
00:10
America's share consciousness. It is Tuesday, June. My name is
00:17
Jack O'Brien a K. How do I live without? Do?
00:23
I want to know? How do I breathe without? Do?
00:29
I don't wanna know? How could I ever ever run dry?
00:36
That is courtesy of Christie Almagucci, Man Emily and Rhymes
00:40
of course my inspiration and I am thrilled to be
00:44
joined as always by my co host, Mr Miles Grad. Yes, yes, yes,
00:49
it's Miles the Blasian Valley Legend aka Hideo NoHo. I
00:54
was just at Dodger Stadium over the weekend. It was
00:56
beautiful energy. I was there with my mom, who had
00:59
not been there twenty five years since Hideo Normo's rookie season.
01:03
It was all the vibe. Shout out to everybody that
01:06
participated in that wonderful, wonderful moment with us. Miles. We
01:11
are blessed to be joined by two very funny comedians
01:16
whose work has appeared on lesser shows like This American
01:19
Life and The Drew Barrymore Show. They are the lead
01:22
investigators and hosts of the new show Truth Town, which
01:25
is one of the best things our network has ever created, UH,
01:30
in which they look into everyday victories like why are
01:34
late people late? And does time fly when you're having fun?
01:37
We are thrilled and honored to be joined by the
01:40
hilarious and talented Kyle Mazzono and honest Aragena. Wow. I
01:50
loved this second the aks happened. You guys have covered
01:53
your mouth and said, what the funk show are we on?
01:57
And I was like, they don't listen? And I love.
01:59
I love when I see that moment when I think
02:02
it was just really impressing. It was just a lot.
02:05
I think, yeah, truth be told. I think when we're
02:07
normally interacting, it's been about truth hounds. And you haven't
02:10
seen screaming miles, so yeah, I compartmentalize those the multitudes
02:15
that I can take. I mean, we just haven't seen
02:17
you flies, So it's just amazing. How are you guys doing?
02:24
How is uh the impending drop of the show for today?
02:28
Today is the day? Today is the day? That's right,
02:31
I'm We're in the future. How is the drop of
02:34
the show treating you? The drop is going really well
02:36
for me, Kyle, Yeah, the drop has been actually really good,
02:40
and you can't stop talking about the drill. I honestly
02:44
can't stop talking about it. And I mean we've been
02:47
working on it for a while, so it's just nice
02:50
for people to hear it to see it finally. Drop
02:52
feels absurd actually because it's been only for us and you. Yeah, no,
03:00
super producer and Josie and I have been working to
03:03
make this show and just for people we're gonna have.
03:05
I implore you, if you like this show, you're going
03:08
to love Truth Hounds. Uh. And if you're lazy and
03:11
you're like, I'll get around to it. We'll probably will
03:13
drop an episode in the feed later on this week,
03:16
so even by passively, you will experience the wonderful show
03:19
that's Truth Hounds. I described the show as like mystery
03:24
show that starlely Kine podcast from back in the day,
03:26
mixed with like Nathan for you, it feels like just
03:29
like this intersection of your look. Everyone can already tell
03:33
the wit is off the chain already, so I'm already talking.
03:38
You're excited about the drop, It's all dropped exciting, but yeah,
03:41
it's a good show. And yeah, I'm excited for everybody
03:44
to listen. Yeah, yeah, thank you. All right, we're gonna
03:47
get to know you guys a little bit better in
03:48
a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a few
03:50
of the things we're talking about. The Republicans are fighting
03:55
over Trump endorsements. Uh, We're gonna talk about an impending
03:59
drought that's happened in California, celebrity breakups and how much
04:04
energy they require. We will talk about that dude that
04:09
got swallowed whole by a whole glass humpback whale and
04:13
why I'm a little I don't I don't know why
04:15
he's getting so much shine where we'll we'll talk about that.
04:18
I want to get you guys perspective. I'm a little
04:21
jealous of this guy. I think I was swallowed, as
04:26
my dad said, I was lying. He's being very dramatic
04:30
about this whole being swallowed by a whale for thirty
04:32
to forty seconds. Thing. Someone spent twenty eight million dollars
04:36
to be the fourth on Jeff Bezos's spaceflight. So we'll
04:39
talk about that, all of that plenty more. But first,
04:44
Kyle and we like to ask our guests, what is
04:47
something from your search history that is revealing about who
04:51
you are. Right now, we gotta Yahoo answers open on
04:53
how to apologize to a fan? So that's that's pretty revealing.
04:58
It's just apologized to a nice pan. Wait, did you
05:01
really want to look up sort of mechanically what it's
05:05
involved with apologize? So yeah, who answers how to apologize?
05:08
How about that? Or wicky? How and what did you learn?
05:13
What was there any valuable information? Be since here be
05:18
direct us an example. I never would have come up
05:22
with that on my own. I would have gone in
05:24
sincere right off the bat. Definitely. Okay, you want to know?
05:27
Can I say, what's actually my search history? Yes? I
05:30
looked up whether okay, you know gone fishing the shirt
05:34
kind of a classic. The other day I was really
05:37
I was half asleep and I was like, has anyone
05:38
ever done gone shitting? And so I looked I looked
05:42
that up. No one's done it. That's just that's just
05:47
open for anyone to kind of take advantage of. No
05:51
one's done a gone fish and tribute shirt that's gone
05:54
ship And so that's that's my late at night? Are
05:58
rated Google great insight into like the drifting off to
06:05
sleep dream logic like to sleep. How is this still available?
06:11
I just don't understand. Yeah, I think it's probably because
06:14
most people don't want to be like I've gone because
06:19
people are proud. Well, I mean it's like, yeah, say
06:21
I've gone fishing. But do I want to tell someone
06:24
I've gone ship? And I don't think, right, because like
06:27
that sign is sort of born out of like going
06:29
to like a small mom and pop business, right, and
06:31
it's not open because they have a sign up today
06:34
gone fishing. And then yeah, I guess if you went someone,
06:37
you're like, gone ship, and you're like, yeah, don't bother men?
06:42
Like the honest version, right, it's the honest version of
06:45
what of those shop signs. I'm just trying to be earnest, right,
06:55
I'll be back. I'm not saying I'm leaving maybe the
06:58
business behind him, just you know, I just want to
07:02
be clear. Though. It's a little bit more than I'm
07:04
in the bathroom for a second gone shipping an activity. Yeah,
07:09
it's a little more than I'm splashing my face. I'm
07:11
doing some other stuff in there too, right, this is
07:15
her first very long time. You can also do a
07:20
whole a whole line of those, because there's also the
07:23
I'd rather be fishing, and you could have the I'd
07:26
rather be shipping. Oh god, sure that's a that's a
07:29
huge Yeah, I'd rather be shipped. So lame. I don't
07:34
want to be here. I'd rather be at my kids baptism.
07:45
Kind of hostile. I mean, I'm here because I have
07:49
to be. I'm clocked in, but I could be very
07:52
honest with everyone. But I won't be muzzled while I'm here.
07:55
I'd rather be shitting Okay, but also, let's dedicate this
07:59
child to Christ real quick, really quick. I mean, I'm
08:02
not a monster. I'm here. I showed up you and
08:08
not here. What is something you guys think is overrated?
08:13
This is actually we were prepared for this ship. I
08:22
did have one, actually thought about last night. I did
08:25
not tell you though, Oh damn. But hopefully you agree
08:27
with this. Okay, picnics because I mean every time I
08:32
eat outside, I think you usually there's a lot of bees. Mm.
08:36
I should have talked to Anna about this one. No,
08:40
what you're hearing is that I'm captivated and I'm enamored constantly,
08:44
and I'm constantly impressed by you, and so this kind
08:46
of goes into that because I hear you, and even
08:49
though I haven't heard you say these words before I go,
08:50
I'm right there with her, right, I am right there.
08:54
That's why this word overrated. Yeah, because there's ants, Because
08:58
there's ants and there's bees, and it's just I don't
09:01
I think it's hard to eat comfortably outside? Can I
09:04
even add? Yes, dining al fresco? I know it's a
09:08
it's a it's a necessary evil at this point, And
09:12
I know some people are like, look, it's like Portugal
09:14
or whatever. I don't like when people walk by and
09:17
look at my food. I feel too exposed. Don't look
09:20
at my food. It's private, Okay, I wish I could.
09:24
I don't like dining al fresco. I don't like a picnic.
09:26
I just don't like eating outside. Can you okay? Can
09:29
you bear eating outside if it were a place that
09:32
isn't like a high trafficked foot area, like it's just
09:34
a section that is dining outside. But I get because
09:37
like I was eating outside for the first time recently
09:39
and it was like one of those sidewalk adjacent things
09:42
and you're like, man, like this person on the fucking
09:45
bird scooter almost knocked over the fucking water station. It
09:48
was like a nightmare exactly. I don't like that level
09:51
of like scrutiny from It shouldn't be up for discuss
09:55
I don't need even a facial opinion. You know what
09:58
it really for me? This comes from, I'll say a trauma.
10:01
I never thrown the word trauma around a lot nowadays.
10:03
But I was eating in San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf. Already
10:07
huge mistake. I'm eating a lobster bisk i. Took a
10:10
chance on a soup that I wasn't previously acquainted with
10:12
the soup. It's a bread bull. But I'll be very
10:16
honest with everybody here. The soup was green. It was
10:19
a green lobster bisk It's not your average looking bisk i, understand.
10:23
But people were walking by and really looking into my
10:27
soup in a way that you know, I'm already facing this.
10:31
I'm suffering the consequences of my soup. Okay. I don't
10:34
need added Okay, and I don't know that's not what
10:37
you were talking about originally. Yeah, but I'm happy you
10:39
added to what you really got me going on. Some
10:42
really helps me. You really got my answer. Oh we're
10:45
coming back to you. I like the name Alfresco. I
10:51
think that's fun. Alfresco is a nice name for name
10:54
your kid or yeah, al Fresco Alfresco, maybe you get
10:58
a second dog. Yeah, I guess I name Fresco. I
11:01
like when Shaky's Pizza and Glendale was trying to do
11:03
al Fresco dining Shaky Pizza and Glen they had to
11:09
sign briefly in the pandemic that said, but you know,
11:12
come come to Shaky's al Fresco and it was just
11:14
a parking lot in Glendale. Yeah, that's a that's a
11:17
bit of a mismatch, like linguistically, when you're like shake
11:21
E's al Fresco, you're like, no, hold on, hold on,
11:24
y'all can eat in the parking lot. Now that feels
11:27
like more on point because we're there for the mojos.
11:29
Let's be You said, are you are you like with
11:32
bees and stuff? I know you said you don't like
11:35
the picnic. I get it. I'm with somebody who hates
11:38
bees and when they get stung, like it's a fucking problem.
11:41
So is it? Do you have like a real aversion
11:44
to bees? Are you just in genuary? Like I don't
11:46
like sitting on the ground, your ass gets wet sometimes
11:48
because the grass the moisture seeps through and then suddenly
11:51
you got wet. But I don't like getting of this.
11:53
Like we're just to help me understand where you're coming. Wow,
11:55
thank you for also helping my answer. No, I'm like,
11:59
I'm just trying to make sure we're no, we're on
12:02
the same page. I think I do have an aversion
12:04
to bees. I mean, but I mean, who doesn't. I mean,
12:07
when you see a B, you're not gonna be like
12:11
like start running and trying to get away from the B.
12:15
It's like, but I mean, I think growing up, it's
12:17
like I always go to these picnics and it's like
12:19
there'd be so many bees and it's just not I
12:22
just don't want to get stung. You know, I know
12:25
there's a problem with the B. So no offense to
12:28
no offense two bees because they're I think going in stinks.
12:32
So I'm not trying to hear going through it. But
12:34
I just don't they're going through it. You Like, I
12:38
respect that and go girl, we've all been there. Girl
12:42
been there, Like I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I just
12:47
don't want I just don't like them. You know my space,
12:51
You got your space, sace. The degree to which, like
12:54
my behavior was shaped by early be stings, Like just
13:01
I never would walk outside without shoes on because I
13:04
stepped on a bee like once when I was four
13:06
years old. I feel like I've been guided by beast things.
13:10
And then I just got stung by a bee for
13:12
the first time in like twenty years, over the weekend,
13:14
by a dead bee picking up a big clump of
13:18
leaves and there was a dead bee in there, and
13:19
it stung my finger. And really, I don't know how
13:23
long how long ago it's been since you guys got stung,
13:25
but those still hurt. That's one thing that hasn't gone
13:28
away about the bees. There still bastards. I still feel
13:34
like there is there's this idea like yo, man, like
13:37
what's your like twenty men a beasting doesn't. And then
13:40
like I, I too had a beasting like for the
13:43
first time since like high school a few years ago,
13:45
and I was like, ah, like it sucked me up
13:50
so bad. And then I was so mad at myself.
13:51
I was like, your pain threshold should be high up
13:55
to you, man, But I learned to live with the
13:58
beast things and now, Jack, you won't go out side
14:00
with without gloves. Now, yeah, I know yet That's why
14:03
I'm wearing these two sparkly Michael Jackson gloves I think
14:06
early from of mice and men type of thing. We
14:09
then like went swimming at our neighbor's house, and every
14:13
time a bee got in the pool, I like made
14:15
everyone get out until like let fish it out. It's
14:18
like really like, yeah, everyone spotted another one. You think
14:27
getting swallowed by whale is bad? I try to getting
14:30
stung by swimming. Um, what's something you guys think is underrated? Okay,
14:35
we did discuss this one. We didn't discuss this for sure,
14:39
so we have a prepared answer for sure we do.
14:41
Do you want to hit it? Spill it? Okay, I'll
14:44
spill it. Um, Kyle just turned her seat around. I
14:49
had to. One is the one we discussed, and one
14:51
is actually what I thought about without talking to you
14:53
about it, and so hopefully it's okay for me to
14:56
say it and it doesn't tank like the other one,
14:58
and you guys don't have to help. I don't think
15:00
it tanked. I think you blossom. I think you did
15:02
a really good job by the end of it was
15:05
flying Fly, Kyle Fly. That's thank you, Okay. I think
15:09
we think it's overrated as a duo. That of going
15:14
of going out. Yeah, I think we're at a time
15:17
where people are now out and about, but maybe it's
15:22
a little overrated. I think it's over I'm back to
15:24
staying in. I gotta yesterday. Yeah, I think I did
15:29
some social stuff last week and then yesterday. I gotta
15:33
tell you, the most I went out is I went
15:34
out of one room and I walked into another, and
15:36
then I had to sit in that room, and then
15:38
I walked around my house and I had a couple
15:39
of CITs all throughout and that was my day. Sad
15:43
sat for a good amount of time in different rooms
15:46
and that was that was as good as it gets.
15:48
One of the things that we bond on Ana and
15:50
I is that we both like to go to bed
15:52
really early. Yeah. So, I mean it's kind of difficult
15:56
in being comedians because sometimes it's like a show at
15:59
like a or something is like sorry, dude, I'm asleep. Yeah.
16:03
I think we did a show on Friday and it
16:07
was a great time. I'll you know, no disrespect to
16:09
the show, but the show started at date thirty, and
16:13
if we're being honest, the show started. If we're being honest,
16:17
it was slated to start at eight thirty. Again, no disrespect,
16:20
but the show wasn't over till like eleven. Are you
16:23
out of your gourd? I gotta be in bed by Ted?
16:26
What are you out of your mind? I want to
16:29
be in bed by Ted? Don't you even think about saying? Goodness,
16:32
it's possible, like six, Yeah, it's possible, just a nice
16:38
slow boil into bed so that it's not possible. I
16:42
would say, don't email Kyle after six because there's a
16:45
good chance he's not gonna get it till tomorrow. Yeah,
16:49
are you waiting? It is the early to bed? Is
16:52
that a cause of early to rise? Are we talking
16:55
like now I'm in bed at ten? I wake up
16:56
at ten. Yeah, I'm on a nice solid got to
17:03
get our zs in twelve? These as possible? Yeah, I'm
17:08
talking twelve hours of these thirteen hours of ease as
17:12
I am finding myself going, like hearing about people like oh,
17:16
let's go out to this thing, like things are opening
17:18
up and I'm my first things like that was the
17:22
old Miles who lived for things before the pandemic, like
17:28
none of these things matter now, Not that I'm so
17:31
like nihilistic or cynical, but like there is a part
17:33
of me that I think the first kinds of activities
17:37
I've been wanting to do or just like just person
17:40
to person, like hanging out with friends, more than like
17:42
the thing of like let's go to ex location to
17:45
do this, and more like let's just look at each
17:47
other in their eyes and be like we're all doing okay,
17:50
because wow, yes, absolutely I would like to go on
17:54
to Disneyland or something. Hell yeah, eventually I see people
17:59
going a little fomo. But I have the lines though,
18:02
and then the weather forecasts. Yeah, Kyle and I I
18:06
mean not to tell tales out of school, but we
18:09
went to Disneyland in Paris one time and it was
18:14
like it's a train right away, like a day train
18:16
right away, and it's like it's outside of Paris. And
18:20
we got there and they were like, hey, welcome to
18:25
Disneyland Paris. We don't have electricity today, so anything that
18:29
needs electricity you're kind of on your own. Other than that,
18:33
you know, welcome, And so we did. We just did
18:36
all the there's all amazes. We walked around, we met
18:40
the characters. The electricity is allowed the park to be open. Look,
18:48
there's just no electrical charges going through anything right now.
18:52
So you're like, you're walking around, is that goofy or
18:55
is that just a French guy? I don't know, you know, right,
18:57
let's check him out. Is that amazed? I don't know?
19:01
Or is it just a really tiny card garden. That's
19:04
how you're left with. It's like, well, what can you
19:06
do because like ostensibly all the rides require electricity, Like
19:10
it was amazed you can walk through that one section?
19:13
I guess the boats you could manually paddle. No, you can't,
19:18
definitely can So we're very limited what we could do.
19:21
But it still was We still managed to have a
19:24
good time. We still managed to have a great time.
19:26
But I would like to kind of go back, go
19:28
back and correct that. Yeah, we did a beautiful trip
19:32
to Parish, just us girls, and it was just it
19:37
was an amazing trip for a friendship because we actually
19:39
bought matching berets. We wore them in there, and we
19:43
were surprised on the plane two pairs that no one
19:45
else was wearing berets. We were actually the only one.
19:48
We were like, is this the right plane, because I
19:50
think if it's going to Paris, everybody should where the
19:54
right flight. I don't know where are we going? Abster name,
19:56
I don't know. And then we we took those berets.
19:59
We went to the Eiffel Tower like really late, and
20:03
then we threw the breeze off the Eiffel Tower like
20:06
one to three. Yeah, we did it. We recorded it. Um.
20:12
We have never used that audio, but maybe one day
20:14
it'll find a place somewhere in a future season of Truthhounds.
20:20
Did you care? Did you bicycle around with a bag
20:23
sticking out of a bag at all? We walked around
20:26
with some bag adds for sure? Where they sticking out
20:28
of bags? I don't know? Chiefs? Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah.
20:35
The striped shirts. Absolutely we go. There's no way they'll
20:39
know we're in California. Were right. I'm wearing a beret
20:44
as big as my own head, and instead of walking stick,
20:48
I'm using a bag add So there's just no way
20:50
that they nowhere for it. You sing a walking stick, Baghett,
20:59
it's too so they just don't know. There's no way
21:03
we blend right in. Al Right, guys, let's take a
21:06
quick break and we will be right back and we're back.
21:21
And you guys just heard back from just to not
21:23
to tell stories out of school. You just heard back
21:25
from the fan you apologize to and everything is good
21:28
there everything. I just think it's important that if you
21:32
put out a podcast and you clown on someone really hard,
21:36
you got to um give them the heads up. Yeah.
21:40
The number of emails we've had to send to Donald
21:42
Trump and Mitch McConnell and has been we get back
21:47
are calls from the Secret Service and trying to be
21:52
good hosts. All right, well, let's speaking of which Miss
21:56
McConnell is now no longer the key Dorsey of the
22:01
of the Republican Party. That honor now goes to Donald Trump,
22:05
and people are fighting like over over table scraps. The
22:09
problem is Donald Trump, okay, because everyone just wants to
22:13
hear who he's getting behind. The calculus is different than
22:17
Ms McConnell, who wants to win the Senate back. So
22:19
McConnell's like, we need viable candidates that we can either
22:22
flip districts or hold our districts. Donald Trump's calculus is,
22:26
who's a shameless, lying asshole who will reject reality and
22:30
even the premise of an election, that's who I'm gonna back,
22:34
and it's causing like this really awful you know, back
22:38
and forth between the two. I just want to highlight
22:40
a couple of people in Georgia. Donald Trump is backing
22:43
the former football player herschel Walker, who doesn't even live
22:48
in Georgia, and I think his ideas like, well, herschel
22:51
Walker's black and Raphael Warnock is black, so then maybe
22:55
that is how we'll win that Senate seat. A lot
22:58
of other people are like, this is had a good idea.
23:00
He doesn't even live in the state Donald Trump, and
23:03
he was like, no, I love this guy. Also, herschel
23:05
Walker didn't even go to the like the Republican State
23:08
Convention that we're not even sure he's taking this seriously.
23:12
But that's a name floating around. Another person is Eric Greaton's,
23:16
who's the former governor of Missouri. He had He's a
23:20
he had to resign because of just an awful sex
23:24
scandal that came out about him, has terrible name recognition
23:27
in the state. And again people like there are other options,
23:31
and Trump's like, no, he voted overturned. Like anyone who
23:34
has been in favor of overturning the election is all
23:37
it takes now, and so this is where we're going.
23:40
Where even like states that have I guess what you
23:43
call normal Republicans or whisper racists as I like to
23:47
call them, those people who are like are doing well
23:51
in polls, Like when they say, like for North Carolina,
23:53
they're like, oh, this former governor is doing well. Trump
23:55
is backing the person in dead last because he's a
23:58
house member who overturned the election, who voted. And so
24:02
Mitch McConnell has now come out saying like they're like,
24:05
what are you gonna do? Because people don't know what's
24:07
going on? What did you do? He's saying he will
24:09
intervene if he has to, So sparks we're truly in
24:14
a race between like the power of his shameless racism
24:19
and his just uttering competence, like whether or not our
24:24
country is going to end in a garbage fire. Heap
24:28
the fact that he's this incompetent always is good news.
24:31
It's good to learn. I think that's what a lot
24:34
of the headlines are is that, oh, he's gonna mess
24:36
this up. Because in in the mid terms, he put
24:40
out a bunch of candidates that clearly weren't up to scruff,
24:43
and the house shifted, so we will see. I think
24:47
the one thing is, though it's hard to know what
24:49
will happen, because if Joe Biden continues to not deliver
24:53
on any of his campaign promises, that may make things
24:56
easier for Republicans running because there will be a lot
24:59
of disillusion and people who were, like I thought he's
25:01
gonna cancel like student debt, like he was telling people
25:04
that are like checks or that's all. No, okay, alright,
25:09
let's uh, let's talk about the drought. Good for good
25:12
for picnics, you know, avoid all those wet butts, but
25:16
not so good for fire season. So the past couple
25:20
of fire seasons in California have been worse than anything
25:24
I've experienced in my living ears here, Like the air
25:27
quality became the thing you checked every morning instead of
25:30
like chance of rain, because there were just so many
25:33
fires and so much smoke and ship and it seems
25:38
it just felt like, you know, we could use a break.
25:41
Come on, we deserve a break here. And it turns
25:44
out like the worst case scenario uh is happening, where
25:49
more global warming leads to worse fires, which leads to
25:51
increase carbon in the atmosphere, which leads to more global warming,
25:55
which leads to worse fires. Because we're in the middle
25:58
of a presidented drought right now, the worst drought of
26:02
the last twenty years in the Pacific Southwest basically, uh
26:08
and just the Southwest in general. So you know, just
26:11
kind of a appetizer for I'm sure what what are
26:15
going to be a number of stories that are super
26:18
fucking depressing where we're like, yeah, this is uh Miles
26:22
and Jack recording from Inland where we were chased by
26:27
a wildfire. Right, yeah, I mean I think everywhere has
26:31
been as much as we get rained here and there.
26:34
I think just seeing like these graphics and graphs that
26:38
just show, oh, it's turning into like a hot charcoal
26:42
stone what happens? And yeah, the air quality thing is
26:46
really like I think that's like the one of the
26:48
big things that I've been has really begun changing, and
26:50
like I think for people who live in l a
26:52
of just being like, especially if you have any kind
26:55
of breathing difficulty, like can I ride a bike today?
26:58
And like the air level qualities is cotton Mouth King's concert,
27:02
Like what is this at all? Like this feels. I
27:05
get that's how they're trying to get us to relate
27:07
to the situation room. But yeah, I don't know where
27:09
did you guys grow up? Did you grow up in
27:11
l A area, San Francisco, Um? Russia? But when you
27:20
came where did you move to? When you came to
27:21
the US? I moved to Vancouver first in Canada, and
27:24
then to like San Diego, so nothing to write home
27:29
about there, um Francisco, and then San Francisco eventually. Yeah, right,
27:36
right right, So I mean, yeah, the fear of drought
27:39
is at least Kyle, you're aware of that. I'm sure
27:41
living in San Francisco people. I was talking about that,
27:43
especially being near the Central Valley. Well, and after what
27:47
San Francisco looked like last year, like last fall, the
27:50
photos about the red and oh yeah, so scary. Yeah,
27:53
I think I remember going to San Francisco. I was
27:55
wearing a mask because of the air, and then I
27:59
used that a mask for the pandemic. So home coming
28:04
for you, nothing to laugh about, not not not funny
28:07
at all, but good use of a mask, bang on
28:11
the mask motifre Yeah, And I didn't mean to imply
28:14
that you guys were pro drought because of the pictick.
28:17
We're very that's not fair for actually, yeah, never indicated
28:23
before this recording that you're pro draft, pro global warming,
28:26
and we're pro Trump and pro drought. That's why two
28:29
big things. That's actually why we were kind of close
28:31
lip because honestly, they're talking about my friend. I know,
28:34
we're like, that's my that's my uncle. What's his first Donald,
28:38
that's my uncle Donald. I forgot his person, Yeah, because
28:44
we're calling them Uncle d Drought because we love that
28:55
uncle Uncle Drought and his draft. Alright, well let's talk
29:01
about seled breakups. I think I think this is what's
29:04
all on our minds uh, And I just want to
29:07
clear you don't have any connection to Ben affleck A
29:09
Rod or Jennifer Lopez before we go start saying things
29:12
about it. I actually think that Anna has a connection
29:14
to General Lopez. Do you want to share that This
29:17
is pretty cool? This is pretty cool, but there isn't
29:21
a commercial with Jennifer Lopez. And it's funny that you
29:24
say wow, because have you seen it? Okay something Not
29:31
only am I saying wow, but it was like the
29:34
director was like, hey, we're not going to use this
29:36
don't worry about it, but don't worry about we're definitely
29:38
not going to use it, so just for fun and
29:40
just something to keep in mind as we're not going
29:42
to use it. Can you do one that's like, wow,
29:47
that's the one that used the commercial? Is that? I go, wow,
29:51
Jennifer Lopez And uh so that's my close personal friend
29:56
Jennifer Lopez. Oh man, Okay, well then I guess well
30:00
we'll go lightly Yeah. Yeah, I'm just I was just
30:06
reading this thing right about just the energy that's going
30:10
into like this a Rod j Lo ben Affleck thing
30:13
where right now over the weekend, a Rod posted like
30:16
on his stories, he was like working out with like
30:19
his ex wife who's like the mother of his kids,
30:21
and he posted this picture where she's like wrapping his
30:24
thigh like with ice, and he's like, Cynthia is a
30:27
world class mommy to our girls wrapping ice though, L
30:30
O L. But it's like, I don't know, meant to
30:32
seem like, hey, Jennifer, I'm intimate with a person from
30:35
my past two as well, and we're working out. I
30:39
felt very like just so transparent, like insecure celebrity energy.
30:44
But the other thing I didn't realize is that Ben
30:47
Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, like Jennifer Lope especially, they were
30:51
really trying to pre plan revealing their like relationship through Instagram,
30:58
and they say the paparazzi like ruined it. According to
31:01
Insider quote, he stayed at her house in April and
31:04
she was planning to make an announcement that they are
31:06
back together on Instagram. It's all about timing with her.
31:09
These are people who don't like to be alone, and
31:12
she really likes him. They have a long history there,
31:15
and the paparazzi beat them to it. I just like
31:17
I read this and I'm like, I feel we don't
31:19
talk about how like the thing about becoming a celebrity
31:23
at a certain level is you cease to just become
31:25
a normal person, Like you can't even like you're like
31:28
the optics of me getting back with Ben though it
31:32
used to be like this, someone just catch you in
31:34
someone else's Instagram posts, be like are you looking up
31:37
with them again? Like that, Yeah, yeah, you're a brand.
31:42
You're like just like there's a company forms around you
31:47
with like a bunch of people who are making decisions
31:50
about your life that are purely based on like what
31:53
is good for the brand, and that brand is your life.
31:58
It's I think it's underrated. Like how maddening being famous
32:04
must be for a lot of a lot of these
32:07
people who I just feel I've always said, PR move
32:11
if you have a hard boiled egg, like it's right.
32:14
Those are the terms that I know. But you know how, Yeah,
32:18
everything's like a PR decision, which is cool. I would
32:22
like that. Yeah, actually I would love that. I'd love
32:25
if the people were paying more attention to me like that. Yeah,
32:30
like why is Kyle wearing those hats? Again? I would
32:33
love that because then I could come out with a statement,
32:35
and she loves coming up with the statement. What would
32:38
you say? What do you think a thing you would
32:39
run afoul with would for your brand? That you would
32:42
have to have statements about Kyle? So if I guess
32:44
I had a new hat on, I would go, this
32:48
is my PR company, would say, Kyle is wearing a
32:52
new hat. But also, please don't stop paying attention to
32:56
her big shirts. But for um, that's from Kyle's PR company.
33:02
That's it? Yeah? Wrong, No, No, I think he did it.
33:10
He really help me out there than weiled the voice
33:14
for that for that PR for that prest release. The
33:17
other thing is like, yeah, when the people would that
33:21
are like mega stars, they are just deeply paranoid and
33:24
suspicious of everyone that's around them because at a certain point,
33:27
like you truly like you don't make friends the same
33:31
way you're used to, which is like, oh wow, you
33:33
like this thing. Oh we get along, we're vibing, we
33:35
go to the same school, we work at the same place, whatever.
33:37
And now it's like, what the fund does this person
33:39
want from me? Like, what the funk? Why is this
33:42
person smiling just so they can ask me to of course,
33:44
you know, endorse their fifty in weeks. If all you
33:48
have around er yes, men who are like who actually
33:52
are are an exact mirror back to you and failed
33:54
to like provide you with a dose of actual reality,
33:58
then you have no you can't be perceptible. Well that's reality.
34:03
And that's why when I see celebrities, I actually go
34:05
out of my way to leave the building like no
34:08
matter what, because what I literally don't need anything in
34:13
the sense that I'm just gonna fucking leave because I
34:16
need nothing from you so much so you're repellent, yes,
34:20
so much so I'm going to drive home from here
34:23
and I'm going to shut my door and then I'm
34:27
actually not gonna leave my house for a day. Just beautiful.
34:32
I think that's like, I don't think it's the celebrity's
34:36
fault always, because it's almost impossible to have people in
34:41
in American society where celebrity is viewed as like they're
34:46
almost like deities, right, like that we worship, Like I,
34:51
it's almost impossible to find somebody who would view you
34:54
as like a genuine human being. Like I don't know
34:58
how to act around celebrities. I couldn't like just become
35:01
friends with a celebrity and value them on a human
35:06
level without like taking into account everything that my like
35:12
entire life has told me about celebrities. Like it's just
35:15
it's I feel like it's a hard situation to be in.
35:17
I also flee through the nearest window anytime a famous
35:21
person comes and comes into a room with me. I
35:24
think that's the appropriate response. Let me tell you a
35:26
little bit about my good friend j Lo. So my
35:30
character's name in the commercial was Shirley, And we know
35:33
this because I had a name tag that said Shirley,
35:37
and so I wasn't I didn't meet Jennifer lope As
35:40
ahead of time. And so one second there was no
35:42
Jennifer lope As in my life, and then the next
35:44
second she was just right here. She was like mere
35:46
inches away from my face. She's a beautiful face. She
35:49
has no pores. I don't under I mean, it's just
35:51
she's stunning. But um, at some point in between takes,
35:56
she looked at my name tag and she said, and
35:57
don't call me Shirley, and and everybody was instructed to
36:01
like not look at her and don't breathe, like just
36:06
don't just if you could not be, just don't be.
36:09
Don't just like leave her alone and just just look
36:14
at your shirt and you know. But at some point
36:17
she goes, and don't call me Shirley, and then everybody
36:20
was really quiet, so she went, it's funny, and then
36:25
she said it's funny. She said, no, it's funny. Everyone
36:29
go So then people were like uh and starting to laugh,
36:32
and she said, no, it's funny because her name tag
36:34
says Shirley, and then everybody laughed. So, oh, that's my
36:39
story about that's my inside scoop. What a mental prison
36:43
to be, I mean, that's yeah, you just the airplane
36:47
don't you don't call me Shirley. And I was like,
36:48
I'm sorry, I was instructed in that interact. That's the
36:54
whole world gone. She goes, no, no, no, no, no,
37:00
it's funny. Okay, okay, Oh how did you respond in
37:06
that moment? Like I would have my heart would have
37:09
just escaped from my body. I would have just gotten
37:12
the funk out of there, not knowing because it's like
37:15
not a thing that you would laugh at, but you
37:16
feel like you should laugh, Like just the number of
37:19
contradictions built into you standing there receiving that joke is impossible.
37:26
It's like a purely impossible situation. Yeah, I mean I
37:29
think I was like, oh yeah. And then later actually
37:36
there was one more goof she she did one more goof.
37:40
So in the commercial, she's like, it's set in a
37:43
grocery store and she's supposed to impulse by a piece
37:46
of gum, and she improvised and she used a pineapple
37:50
instead of the piece of gum. And then in between takes,
37:54
she goes a pineapple. That's funny, and people were like,
38:00
of she goes, she goes, no, it's funnier than God.
38:04
She looked at me and I said well, you're a comedian.
38:08
I said, well, you know, Pineapple, that is funny. She goes,
38:11
I know, so that, Oh my god, I don't know.
38:20
And did all of this inform your performance when you
38:22
had to say wow, j the wow is you could
38:24
tell it's very loaded. It's it's pain and psychological warfare
38:33
and wow. Yeah. I mean this is no minor like
38:37
the J Low is supposed to be like, first of all,
38:40
in person, one of the more like striking human forms
38:43
that most people have ever encountered. And then like also
38:48
very aggressively like famous, like not somebody who shrinks from
38:52
their fame or feels a contradiction about it. It's a
38:57
she's as beautiful. She's more beautiful than you even want
39:00
her to be. You know, she's more than I wanted
39:06
you guys, I wanted something good, whoa easy starving this beautiful?
39:15
I mean it was insane because I was just like, oh,
39:17
did she looks exactly like she does on on TV?
39:20
Like and that's not something you I don't know, like
39:23
I think when you do, you expect like some air brushing,
39:26
but she is really that beautiful And that It's just
39:30
crazy because it's an undeniably hurt. You know, sometimes you
39:33
see a celebrity and you're like, the head is smaller
39:35
than I thought. I just I don't know, disrespect. But
39:38
I saw Diane Keaton out and I was like, she's
39:41
so tiny. She's really tiny. I think, I mean maybe
39:44
her hat was just bigger than I thought. Yeah, Diane
39:48
Keaton dresses like Diane Keaton car she doesn't funk around
39:52
like she that's her brand, Like to the point where
39:54
I go, look at this Diane Keaton costs playing my god?
39:58
But you again, can I What you said is that
40:01
you didn't know if she was small or just her
40:03
hat was huge. Yeah, Like it was like, I don't
40:05
know what I was more like, I was like, do
40:07
I think she has a tiny head? But she also
40:10
had like a big one of her big hats on.
40:12
And then I was then I was trying to be like,
40:15
well what do I think? Then then I went in
40:17
my own head, I was like, well, what size did
40:19
you think Diane Keaton was supposed to be? Didn't work? Yeah,
40:23
And then I was like, yeah, maybe it's just maybe
40:26
her the hat's making her head look all tiny, and
40:28
that's just that looked for perfect. It felt it fell
40:31
off for her. Wow, I feel like this. Don't call
40:36
me Diane. Wait, Kyle, who's the most famous celebrity you've
40:42
had to be encounter and maybe not interact with, but
40:45
that you've seen out and you're like, oh, I mean,
40:48
like I said, I just I will try to avoid
40:51
it at all, even if you catch wind. Yeah, I
40:54
guess it's I guess it. I guess this is I
40:57
wish I had something better, but I guess it's Catherine High.
41:01
Oh you have a good Yeah. I did an audition
41:04
with her and I touched her. Tit But I mean
41:08
I just touched her, and I should have asked for permission.
41:11
I've talked about this before, and yeah, it just was
41:15
a shitty situation because they should have told me ahead
41:17
of time that I was auditioning with her. I didn't
41:19
know that, and then I was a brief There was
41:22
a part of the scene where I had to touch her.
41:24
I guess looking back, I should have been like, hello,
41:27
can I touch you? But I was, you know, so
41:31
you think I was sort of running on adrenaline. I
41:34
touched her and then they said please don't do the
41:36
next scene, and then she drove off and she didn't
41:38
audition with anyone else. So and I broke out in
41:41
a flu after So was this the flu? The famous fluke?
41:45
I broke out in a flu because it was just
41:47
I don't know she gave it to me or I
41:49
gave it to her. That's crazy. But to Kyle's credit, Kyle,
41:53
but never maliciously, obviously unconsensually touch. It doesn't matter who
41:57
it is, Katherine Heigl or not. But she wasn't warned
42:01
and she was just sworn into a room where Katherine
42:03
Heigel was yeah, super close to her, which is already
42:08
you know who I would love to meet. We would
42:09
love to both meet kianu Reely. We would love to
42:12
meet Jason stathm. I'm a huge We love Jason sat
42:16
just those action guys like I want to just be like,
42:19
like how big they are. I would love to see
42:21
how big girl. That's who. I would love to see
42:24
Kyle next to a Kiana or Statham looking up, looking
42:28
up the top. I want to picture where it's like,
42:31
you know, where you like they put. Maybe that's a
42:34
little um belittling, but I think it's funny if it's
42:38
they're like you're this small, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, because
42:40
I'm huge you know, I would love to see them
42:42
Tower overcome. Yeah. I love that. I really is Jason
42:46
Statham listen to your podcast. We got one yes friend
42:53
really yeah the artist? Yeah wait, she said Statham. Yeah yeah,
42:57
Kianu Reeves his girlfriend. That's what I thought, you asked.
43:00
Uh well, alright, let's take a quick break and we
43:08
will be right back. And we're back, and the break
43:22
was an adventure. Uh So, A couple of things we
43:25
have to tell you guys for for necessary background, is
43:29
that Truth Hounds actually started out as a show called
43:33
There's Something About Mr. Reeves That was one of the
43:37
funniest things we've ever heard. It's Kyle and Anna basically
43:42
Kyle finding out about Keanu Reeves like years after everybody else,
43:47
but like kind of developing this obsession and then it
43:51
kind of unfolds where everybody has like an incredible story
43:56
that like tangentially relates to Kianu Reeves, and in the break,
44:01
super producer Justin had one such story as we were
44:05
talking about just kind of generally the mystique of Keanu Reeves. Justin,
44:11
you wanna come in and share with the audience. Yeah, sure.
44:15
So my dad and his older brother were members of
44:19
a band called News Magazine in Chicago. They played with
44:23
a lot of pretty big people in their time. In
44:25
the seventies and eighties, and in the nineties, my uncle
44:29
was just playing rooms trying to link up with any
44:31
band he could get a gig with, and one of
44:34
those bands was Kianu Reeves band. And the best part
44:38
about it was he would be up there, very shy guy,
44:44
very very humble and down to earth, and he would
44:46
usually spend most of his time alone before and just
44:49
sitting there relaxing in the corner of the room, and
44:53
as soon as they went up to play, the entire
44:57
room would just like magnetically shift over to Kianu Reeves
45:02
and the rest of his poor bandmates would be playing
45:05
to a mostly empty room while everyone was just staring
45:08
up at Kean on one side, and Kanu is the bassis,
45:13
he's not He's not the drummer or at the singer
45:16
at the center of stage. So it's just like everybody's
45:20
in the corner of the room just watching Kianu Reeves.
45:24
And for the most part what I hear, he was
45:25
just looking at his He's looking at his instrument, just
45:28
in the zone. Everyone's just throwing a fit for this
45:31
guy and the rest of his band is just playing
45:33
their heart out to no one. It's it's so sad,
45:36
but it's it's a lovely story. That's you know. Kianu
45:38
has that kind of magnetism, that kind of yeah, you
45:41
you why not ignore everyone else and focus on the
45:46
universal constant. But he would probably feel bad about that.
45:50
He's such a good guy that from our findings that
45:53
he would probably like, Yeah, he'd be like, no, guy,
46:01
it's really good, guys. There's a whole bad like really
46:08
sorry giving up for Trevor guys. He's really doing his
46:10
best up here. He'd probably go behind the other band
46:14
members something, get some like crossfire eye contact. Yeah, he's like,
46:21
get in front of me, get in front of me.
46:24
Oh man, oh man. I mean we heard so many
46:32
stories because the funny thing is that everybody we wanted
46:35
to hear like the more mundane the better. So someone
46:38
was like, my brother installed a toilet um a bathroom
46:41
door at Keanu Reeves his house and he was nice,
46:44
and we were like, that's the perfect story for us.
46:46
We would love to look into that. But yeah, we
46:48
would get stories that were like I was I overheard
46:51
kean or you say I don't like to take the freeways.
46:55
Those were like the kind of stories were like yeah,
46:59
but that the thing. Crazy thing is the more we
47:01
worked on it, the more every situation we went into
47:05
someone had his story. Everybody has a Kianu story. I
47:08
think I did it a comedy show and then I
47:11
was talking about it and then the host was like, oh, yeah,
47:14
Kianu reeves like purchase my kids preschool sold it back
47:21
to them for a penny. Yeah, that's right, and so
47:24
there's actually a picture of him in the preschool, Like
47:29
that's crazy. Yeah. The school was like, gonna get shut down.
47:32
You're gonna get shut down. So he purchased it. Good guy.
47:36
One time we heard a story that one time he
47:39
was at his own birthday party and he went outside
47:43
to smoke and there was a line to get in
47:44
and he didn't want to cut, so he stood in
47:47
the back of the line. He waited to get in
47:49
the bouncer. When it got to his turn, was like,
47:51
you don't have to wait, it's your birthday party. Your
47:54
Kanu reeves And he was like, it's just I feel
48:02
like he's like someone who could fall victim to someone
48:04
really like pathological who's like a scammer who's like, oh,
48:08
I'm so cold and hungry at Kianu and he's like,
48:10
oh no, And then I feel like he's too wise
48:16
for that though. I feel like or I feel like
48:18
his mystique is such that when that pathological scammer came
48:22
into contact with them, they would be like somehow reformed,
48:26
right right, Oh, that you'd really like his energy is
48:28
so potent that you're like, I want to be honest
48:32
about myself. Actually, I'm a bit of a reptile brain
48:38
only looking out for myself. Yeah, thanks, Wow, Absolutely, I
48:47
I do want to get to this guy who got
48:49
swallowed hole by humpback whale, because I think he's really
48:54
like the reverse Kianu. Uh Now, I'm just j he's
48:58
not out here. He's out here for the wrong reasons.
49:01
I'm being really hard on this guy. Uh So, this
49:04
is something that actually happens a lot. Like there there's
49:07
a lot of really cool videos on YouTube of people.
49:11
Uh there's one where there's a scuba diver just like
49:15
resurfacing and then the water around him just like starts
49:18
boiling with small fish that a whale is driving to
49:21
the surface, and then like a whale comes within inches
49:24
of like swallowing that guy and it's just massive and
49:26
like really cool. And then there's another where a guy
49:29
gets swallowed like is in the mouth of a whale
49:33
there's video footage of it, and another where a boat
49:36
carrying two kayakers gets like swallowed. Hole up. That one's wild, right,
49:41
It's it's the kind that you wish you saw. You're like,
49:44
dude on one of these videos where the whale just
49:47
swallows a kayak and you're like, well, here's a link
49:50
for you. It's like straight up jaws. Ship it's yeah,
49:54
because it's just calm water then breach and people like
49:59
I remember in that clip the one person just like,
50:00
oh ship not helpful. Yeah, So it's something that happens accidentally.
50:09
People hang out around where whales might breach because whale
50:13
watching the whole thing, and they're like magical, you know,
50:17
mystical creatures that are it's just insane that they exist,
50:21
like the fact that we just go through our days
50:24
with whales existing, like just mammals that are that big
50:28
that swim around in the ocean like is is wild.
50:31
So there's no footage of this guy getting swallowed, so
50:36
I think this is why this is getting like kind
50:40
of capturing the zeitgeist and other examples where people have
50:45
like actually captured video of somebody getting swallowed, and it's
50:49
like the one of the wildest things you've ever seen
50:52
is that we are hearing it through a subjective account
50:57
and he is using he's like George Costanza recovering the
51:02
golf ball levels of drama to this, Like he's just
51:07
he's talking about but let me just read some of
51:09
his uh words, So his words, I was inside it,
51:14
I was inside its mouth. It tried to eat me,
51:17
which is not true, Like everybody was like, first of all,
51:20
they can't eat anything that big. Their throat is very small.
51:25
But like they there's just it's him and his spotter
51:28
who like watch watches his bubbles to make sure he's
51:31
okay while he's down there, like going lobster fishing, and
51:35
then he's like, but the bubbles suddenly all right, so
51:40
this is from his spotter, But the bubble suddenly stopped.
51:42
Then an explosion of whitewater erupted from the sea. Mayo
51:46
wasn't sure what he was witnessing. A burly fish thrashed
51:50
before him, and for a split second, he thought it
51:52
was a great white shark. Then Mayo saw its flukes
51:56
cut through the water and observed it violently shake its head.
52:00
So just the fact that they're like adding violence to
52:03
it and he's saying that it was trying to swallow him. Also,
52:08
like in the in the videos, you can tell that
52:11
it's an accident, that it's the equivalent of somebody eating
52:14
something and a fly flies into their mouth and they
52:17
like cough it up. But in this version of the story,
52:20
by like turning the whale into something with an agenda
52:23
that was to eat him, Like suddenly the headlines are
52:26
like real life Moby Dick tries to eat diver and ship.
52:30
And it's just I don't love it because it implies
52:34
that he's it's whales slander, you know what it is?
52:38
Culture going way too far, That's what it is. Yeah,
52:42
Tom Hanks this morning, who's next? If sure they tried
52:49
to eat you? Because yeah, those other clips, the whale
52:51
almost looks like oh funk what iuld like, what it?
52:53
What's in my mouth? Like when they have like a
52:55
giant kayak, They're like no, no, no, I didn't want this.
52:59
I'm They're just released. Yeah, what I can capture in
53:01
my Baileen, But this it's good to know because in
53:05
my mind it was very possible that a whale could
53:08
just swallow you. But you're saying it's like physically they're
53:12
not carnivorous, so they don't they're not ever intending to
53:14
attack a human or whatever. But yeah, their throats are
53:18
too narrow. They just like swallow a bunch of tiny
53:20
things and then use their to like send everything else out.
53:26
So we'll send this one to the Dubious Whale Attacks Panel. Yeah,
53:30
because it's also the thing that's unique is that he
53:32
claims he was in the mouth for thirty to forty seconds,
53:35
which is much longer than the other encounters. But like
53:38
he didn't have any of the injuries that would come
53:41
from being that deep and like the whale coming to
53:44
the surface with him, Like he should have had like
53:46
a lot of embolisms and stuff. So so I don't know, man,
53:50
I'm just saying, he's also just all over the place,
53:53
like he's uh, he did a Reddit asked me anything,
53:56
like I was swallowed hole by a whale like already
54:00
like from his hospital bed. All right, truth hounds, truth hounds,
54:03
get to the bottom of this guy. Really swallowed by
54:05
a whale. This is a soft pitch for you guys
54:07
to look into this bullshit, but um, we'll be in
54:11
touch just to talk to that. I'm sure had a
54:13
conversation between you and this person would be hilarious, like okay,
54:17
and then then what was that like for you? Oh
54:20
yeah I was I was just swallow. Yeah, I was
54:22
swallowed so bad, so bad, and it was just so fright.
54:25
They tried to eat me. I saw the Washington Post
54:28
thing that I that came up and try to eat me.
54:29
So and the Washington Post article like goes out of
54:32
its way too, like tell you about every brush of
54:36
death with death that this guy has had, like he
54:39
was in a really bad plane accident and like a
54:42
decade ago, which is you know, harrowing for sure, but
54:46
it's just kind of a weird like detail to put
54:49
into this very specific story and suggests like that you're hearing,
54:56
you know, a a big fish story where it's like, oh,
55:00
this thing it came up and swallowed the boat hole
55:03
and you just kind of have to take it with
55:05
a grain of salt. Like there's also a commentary from
55:10
people in the town. It happened off Cape Cod in
55:15
Provincetown and they're like, who is anyone else? We'd think
55:18
it was bullshit, but this guy he has crazy stories
55:22
and is a very convincing and it's like he's a
55:26
good story teller or is it maybe just the most
55:30
full of ship guy in town. There's just like and
55:33
no one's up Nick. No one realizes that he's just
55:35
been lying the whole time. I had people like that,
55:37
I know growing up, Like if you wrote down all
55:40
the ship that happened to them on paper, you're like,
55:42
you're the most interesting person alive or the biggest lying
55:46
sack of ship. He's the only no one else knows
55:50
how to lie there? All right? Well, Kyle Anna, as
55:56
always such a pleasure having you, I guess not as always.
56:00
This is the first time we've had both of people
56:02
the time so far show, But as always amazing to
56:06
be on a chat with you, guys, to share the
56:10
joy of our zoom meetings with the outside world. Where
56:13
can people find you? Follow you here? You hear Truthhounds,
56:18
I mean on Truthhounds for truth Tounds, please listen to it.
56:21
We really do we think first of all, we think
56:24
that it's really good. We do you think it's we
56:28
think it's really good stuff. I think it's really good.
56:31
It's really hard on it. We did work really hard
56:33
on it, harder than a podcast. Well, so here should
56:37
be a way to describe it is at at one
56:39
point we were worried what if someone else does it?
56:41
But we also realize that no one actually has this
56:44
much time to do something like this. Nothing similar exists
56:48
because no one would put this much time into something anything.
56:53
So hopefully argument is and if you we are we
56:57
are actively looking into investigation, and you can go to
57:01
the Truth Hounds Instagram page. It's at True Towns on
57:05
Instagram and then on Twitter it's at the Truth Towns. Yeah,
57:10
we have this little tip. We have a tip line
57:13
up there. Just look for the story with the dog
57:15
on it who's investigating. There's a number to call. One warning,
57:19
a better tipline is that if you do something that's
57:22
not juicy, not serious, I'm not safe for us, You're
57:26
not safe. We will clown on you. We'll clown on
57:28
you so publicly. That's a warning. That's a warning right here,
57:32
right now. Don't try to, you know, do something cuckoo bananas.
57:35
We will clown on your. Asks for people who are
57:39
about to check out the show. They say, okay, this
57:42
I want to hear more. Tell them a little bit
57:43
about the first episode that's out, what it's about, just
57:45
so they can get an idea of what exactly these
57:48
mysteries are, these cases, or these larger questions that you're
57:52
trying to answer. Well, the first one, I think is
57:55
a great insight into how the rest of the show goes,
57:58
which is, Um, we come up with this question, which
58:01
is why are some people always late? Um? I think
58:07
it's a question that I mean, we all have friends who,
58:11
you know, you expect them to come about five ten
58:13
minutes late, and it's just like, why why do I
58:17
have to do gymnastics around your tardiness? Why do I
58:21
have to carry you know, five bags? And you know
58:24
it's accommodate you. You're always going to be late, you know.
58:27
We look into what's up with that? What's up with
58:30
what's up with that one guy who's always late? Yeah,
58:33
And we go out of our way, say to investigate that,
58:38
to figure it out, analyze the many different kinds of
58:41
late people to there's a variety, come to the right conclusions.
58:45
Exactly as funny as the show is, I also feel
58:50
like I will never look at late people and my
58:52
own tardy behavior the same way again after listening to
58:56
the episode, hopefully we brought a little bit of insight
58:58
into how your very selfish actions as others. So yeah,
59:08
so yeah, we kind of go. We basically go, well,
59:12
do we do whatever it takes to get to the
59:14
bottom of these mysteries and so and sometimes the mysteries
59:17
or why does Kyle look really good in hat? You know?
59:19
So it's not all it's not all dangerous or dangerous
59:24
or scary, but I mean, we do have scarier episodes.
59:27
So we have an episode called why are People Mean?
59:29
And we have to deal with mean people and that's yeah,
59:31
we've all been there and that's scary as hell. But
59:35
we obviously come out for the journeys you to ride
59:38
along and just that you all really roll your sleeves
59:42
up and get into the material. So um, even as
59:45
mundane is it, that's like the genius of this show.
59:48
And yeah, I'm still for people to listen to Thank you, Miles,
59:51
thank you, thank you. We're so excited for you to
59:53
listen to you. We're so excited And where can where
59:56
can people find you? Guys? Individually, when you're not hounding
59:59
the truth. When we're not hounding the truth. Hard to
1:00:02
picture that because that's what all of our free time
1:00:04
goes to. UM, when we're managing our own accounts. Um,
1:00:09
I'm this is really important. I'm a cash money grandpa.
1:00:14
And then I'm a touching Jesus on Twitter because I
1:00:17
didn't really think either of those platforms would take off.
1:00:21
So that's where I'm at. And Uh, I'm really not
1:00:24
big on Instagram, so I mean, I guess you could follow,
1:00:28
but you really don't have to. Um, it's I'm at
1:00:31
gile at Gile Mazono. And then you can also follow
1:00:34
my dog. I'm actually really active on that or my
1:00:37
dog actually is UM and that is clam Dash, under Dash,
1:00:44
underscore she means underscore mazzono. So that's my my dog's
1:00:49
Instagram And honestly he's he posts almost every day, so
1:00:52
if he wants something active with some crazy things about
1:00:56
his life, I would check that out. Yeah. And is
1:01:00
there a tweet or some of the work of social
1:01:03
media you've been enjoying? Oh, I mean the most recent
1:01:08
thing that comes to mind as I saw the dog
1:01:09
was hobby that one. Oh, that peakings like the champion dog.
1:01:14
I don't like that. I don't like that. That's not
1:01:18
that's the dog who could do something bad and there's
1:01:21
no there's nothing they could do for me to be like, No,
1:01:25
absolutely not. That's not a tweet that I liked per
1:01:27
se as tweet I can't stop thinking about. I guess
1:01:31
it occupants. It lives in my head. Rent for you.
