I'm pretty sad everyone missed out on our Fitbit pun discussion earlier.
That was a good time.
Yeah.
I know.
We were talking.
I mean, let's take them back through it.
We were talking about the succession finale.
Yeah.
We were talking about how, you know, I think our last sentiment before we went into the weekend was
it would be awesome if they somehow presaged the orca attacks
and had like all the succession children get their whole shit bit.
Yeah.
And then they were like swimming around in the ocean at night
and they reference fucking sharks they're like i don't want to get in there there's too many sharks
and then they got in there did you start levitating when that happened because i almost
like a fucking i almost like had the hydrogen atom like burned into my forehead like fucking
dr manhattan i'm like yes i'm seeing it all now. Their whole shit shall be bit.
But the internet is so cruel. They could have got eaten by a regular shark and people would have said you guys weren't even close because you said orcas. Right, right. Exactly.
I know you didn't predict anything. You said fucking orcas. Dumb, dumb.
Yeah. But upon reiterating, we wanted to see them get their whole shit bit. Kyle,
you came up with a brilliant invention.
Oh yeah, to track your bowel movements and the health of your poos,
there's the shit bit, which lets you know
how many times, I would
say the opposite of steps, how many times
your legs fall asleep on the toilet every
day. And if you don't
like the shit bit, you can get the crap a watch.
It works with iOS.
Just kind of depending on what operating system
you're on. It works with ios um just kind of depending on what operating system that's tim uncooked salmon is in charge of the grapple watch i believe
uh would that be a toilet or a peripheral device you wear i feel like the toilet is
would be the most effective tool it's just all about getting you into their ecosystem
um yeah yeah their fecal system their fecal system. Their fecal system.
The biome. The apple biome.
Okay, I'm sorry.
This is going to be funny until it's real.
This is going to be the
orca to shark closeness
in like five years.
You didn't call it the right name
so you didn't predict it.
We got to keep it big.
Well, that's what you can expect from this episode.
Kyle, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Sure.
First, a couple of the news stories that we should probably talk about.
The debt ceiling crisis averted.
A victory for no one.
Depends on, yeah, how partisan you are.
Yeah.
So we'll talk about that.
We'll talk about how America is rethinking the whole parking spot thing.
We've talked about Paris and some cities in the Netherlands.
They're doing the very minimum, the beginning steps of starting to think about
maybe we don't want our cities just completely swallowed by cars and parking lots.
So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about
Pedro Pascal being
officially too nice
to the point that he let fans
give him an I am medically too kind.
Yes, his doctor has
some notes for him.
And Connecticut finally
did the right thing
and pardoned people with marijuana.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
That's not happening.
Pardoned people convicted of witchcraft centuries ago.
That might sound like just a symbolic gesture that is like, yeah, obviously you're going to do that if you haven't done it already.
They tried in 2008 and
like couldn't get it passed they're like i don't know we're still looking into it what the fuck
you gotta think those sentencings were light as a feather stiff as a board i feel like that's
probably what the judge said as he handed them down absolutely um before we get to any of it
kyle we do like to ask our guests. Yeah, yeah. What is something from your search history?
My search history today was, is mid-century modern real?
I'm trying to sell a chair.
Just like I got this old desk chair that's like wood and leather.
And it looks, every time I try, you try and sell something or buy something, everything's mid-century modern.
Yeah. it looks every time i try you try and sell something or buy something everything's mid-century modern yeah the whole world people be like mid-century modern uh los angeles dodgers
clayton kershaw bobblehead i'm sorry what well i mean his takes on religion are from the mid-century
every single thing every time everything they do is this everything is a mid i'm like is that
mid-century modern because like it says nokia like i don't know how this could possibly every piece of furniture play
the snake video game on it but it is mid-century modern right from what century it is it's the
snake oil game that's why it's mid-century modern i don't know what that means i don't know what
miss i thought mine thing was that because it looks like a fake eames chair so i thought that's
what it was i'm gesturing to it like it's going to
defend itself over here in the corner.
What sayest thou? Piece of shit.
I mean, you can look at that.
That, right?
Mid-century. So mid-century
modern became
popular in the early 1900s?
It doesn't know what
century it's the mid of.
What exactly are we doing here oh wait that's
the beginning of that i had no idea i mean i again i just took it as like a catch-all basically for
like minimal scandinavian looking furniture that's kind of what i was like it looks like
ikea you didn't get there but i'm probably wrong about that too so i'm trying to figure out what
that means mid-century modern and then gave up and just googled that so that that's where i'm getting the uh detailed download from the spruce
dot com that mid-century modern can be considered a subset of modern design that became popular in
the early 1900s because you don't get information if you google is my chair mid-century they want
to know more about it right uh which i don't know why I accept all cookies if not for them to know what kind of chair I have. So I don't know. And then all I got is
scammers wanting to buy my chair. Who's like, I would love your chair. What six digit code just
got emailed to you? And I was had to do with my chair. Wow. Wait, is that really like a phishing
scam people do? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here's the con. I mean, I have a conversation that I had
with someone here about the scam
where i said uh he said talk about asking for a six digit code and i said sorry can't sell chair
i died of sids which was you know i'm just tired of the scammers and he said you can't sell a chair
because you're dead i'm like yeah i died from sids i told you in the earlier text message i
don't get the six digit code and then he got really upset because he made a sids joke i think because i
wouldn't give him the password to my email because he's sending me like a gmail you know he's like
sending my two-factor i like it better if he was like you know what you shouldn't play around with
that man safe sleep is the name of the game it's about safe sleep saves a lot of lives but also
flagging the back of a lot of heads i have a mid-century modern son who almost died of sids right yeah early 1900s but he's now he's 50 oh my gosh so i'm trying to figure out what
mid-century modern is because you can't sell furniture especially i don't know if it's
everywhere but in los angeles it's like oh yeah absurd everywhere i mean i'm guilty of it too
i remember i was trying to get rid of like a china hutch that was like that i got like from a
i don't know like just it was gifted through someone because they're like, it's an antique.
It's worth taking.
And it was not going anywhere.
And then I just literally said, it's mid-century modern.
Someone came and picked that shit up in 15 minutes.
Right.
I always to me, I thought mid-century modern meant like a white lady repainted the dresser.
Right.
Yeah.
That's all. She sanded down that trash and repainted it it looks nice you can get by on a technicality there you just have a
white lady come by and paint your trash trash can yeah so that's what i've been spending too
much time on today nice what is uh what's something you think is overrated all right
every time i do this i have a hard time deciding i have but i have, what's something you think is overrated? All right. Every time I do this, I have a hard time deciding I have, but I have two,
the first thing I think is overrated is nonstick cooking pans.
Okay. I am, I am a stainless steel cooking pan guy. I am back. You got to just let your pan
heat up properly. Your egg won't stick if you let it heat up properly. These things last forever.
They're great pans. The-stick stuff eventually you're
like did i just eat aluminum oh yeah am i eating like you're eating like uh i don't know like
little chips of stuff of wall yeah a little flex am i freebasing teflon right now some sort of
non-newtonian like especially mid-century modern non-stick coating i think that stuff i think
they just based it with lead and asbestos and merge that onto your pan yeah but i i love i'm
all about give me these shiny shine let it heat up relax you got this guys i know it's simple and
easy to cook an egg on a green pan or whatever just let the aluminum one yeah and just properly
make sure you have like enough oil on it put some
oil on heat oil you're good you can do anything on that thing the other thing is easier to easier
to clean because you can't you'll never have to be like oh can i put this on the stainless steel
yeah you can fuck you can brush the fuck out yeah i got a i got a couple stain stees and i got some
cast eyes and i'm good to go and i'm feeling good. Okay. And you know,
when it comes to the cast,
cast iron doesn't require
the insane baby treatment
that it used to
because soap is no longer deadly,
which is just a great sentence.
Oh, that's good.
And so you can put soap on it now.
Soap them up.
Because soap also doesn't include
whatever weird thing
used to be bad for stuff.
It's fun to be like,
remember the stuff
you used to clean with?
That's cancer.
Yeah, right. Turns out that is just direct cancer right lead liquid cancer wild yes
i had a roommate who i remember he like lost it on this person who was dating because they
washed their cast iron with soap and that was like my first like venture into being like i don't need
one of those if that's what i believe cast iron seriousness is a red flag in men predominantly.
Anybody.
But cast iron seriousness amongst a guy who couldn't pitch a tent is,
and I don't mean like get a boner.
I mean like actually put a tent up.
No, that's what we're kind of into these days.
Making fun of these soy boys.
This is my Viagra ripoff called cast iron.
That's right.
You don't even have to wash it cause you can't put soap on there.
Oh man.
There you go.
Get one zip and you're casting iron.
So that was what I said was overrated that in the word content.
Oh,
come on,
man.
How else are we going to describe art?
I, I,
I think that was the beginning of the end was when they,
we decided none of,
none of anything anyone created was art.
Cause now you don't have to pay people for it none of anything anyone created was art because now you
don't have to pay people for it like it was art imagine i'm gonna go to i'm gonna go to the louvre
and and take a picture of some content yeah my favorite content creator probably martin scorsese
oh my vincent van gogh mine a little carpenter by the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you. You know, the C in JC was for content.
Yeah.
That's right.
Just content?
Jesus Christ?
Oh, hell yeah.
What is, what's something you think is underrated?
Underrated?
Okay.
All right, everybody.
I'm not good.
Underrated, I think following sports is underrated.
Following sports?
It's fun to make fun of sports.
You're doing a sports ball on here?
I know sports is the biggest thing know every i know it's the biggest
on here the biggest thing in the world sports the biggest thing in the world right probably
it's like the biggest thing that a lot of people like it's still underrated because everyone
loves trash tv and terrible storylines with entitled rich people boy let me tell you about
a little thing called sports uh this is the longest running soap opera in the history of the world.
We are in season
90 of Basketball
the Sport, if not more
than that. We're in season 60
of everyone being allowed to be cast in Basketball
the Sport. And we're
in season 180
of Baseball. The show Baseball
goes so far back, there's dudes named
Bird, like first name
right exactly that's their legal name treeman and so sports the storylines are so good the people
are so entertaining even if you don't like the sport if you don't like basketball it doesn't
matter because you could get super into the people involved i'm not here i know what kind of coffee
jimmy butler likes to make out of a fancy espresso machine.
This is insane things
that I know about these people,
but it makes it so good.
It makes it so good.
Yeah.
But I mean,
what are you,
you've been watching
the conference finals?
I watch the NBA.
I don't even like
any of the NBA teams
more than any of the other ones.
I just kind of root for
whatever would happen
in this television show to make around me the funniest.
I'm watching the
conference finals in the NBA. I'm from Kansas City. They don't even have a team.
So I'm like, it would be funny if Boston came back from 3-0 and then lost
because I live in Los Angeles where everyone roots against Boston.
That's their second favorite sports team is Boston losing.
Yeah, 100%.
And so that's hilarious to watch everyone panic about Boston.
Our second favorite team is whoever's playing Boston.
Right, exactly.
Everyone loves Miami.
So it's so funny to watch everyone in Los Angeles panic that Boston,
and then it not happen.
It just feels great.
It's so hilarious.
Baseball, that's's almost baseball is more of
like an audio book than a tv show at this point but it it's just a funny long-running soap opera
and you can jump in at any time and people be like this guy who used to be on the show was crazy and
now he he's dead and now he's the coach right imagine if you're watching a soap opera and a
guy shows back up and he's like i'm the director of the soap opera now right yeah you're watching a soap opera and a guy shows back up and he's like, I'm the director of the soap opera now.
Right.
Yeah.
You died in a coma nine years ago.
Also, this referee, scandalous behind the scenes.
He's talking so much shit with a burner phone.
You can get so into this.
You can be as deep or as shallow as you want into it.
There's no entry level for fandom, for sports.
You really, for a lot of them now, because the internet, you don't really even have to love the sport yeah no you could just be like look at me crammed down your throat these two huge football players have a podcast now what are we doing like it's just ridiculous
it's a ridiculous thing i think it's underrated it's fun to make fun of sports ball of up is
sports ball is a funny thing to say it's the longest running best soap opera uh uh ever yeah i'm good i i don't
think saying sports ball is a funny thing to say personally i'm gonna i'm gonna tell our non-sports
loving listeners that let's let's just move on to a different stance find a new angle
it's just like it it just feels like it's been done and you know sports fans in canada call it
sports puck oh yeah oh you're doing a sports puck in kentucky they're like hey is that sports horse
sport horse yeah it is actually and then i got a couple other underrated things i trash candy i
love terrible candy everyone hates but that's not you know i love black licorice i love circus peanuts i love
burnt peanuts anything that kids would throw away on halloween is like the stuff i love when you
said trash candy i thought you were making another pun and i was like what is this trash candy is my
drag name um no i love trash candy uh you know little trash cans you can eat fourth trash
can the one i don't need and i'm selling by letting a white woman paint it yeah
all the candy people want to like throw away or hate they can't i love orange slot circus
peanuts i do love those or i circus peanut i love it no wafers you like now i was gonna that was the
one that was in my mind i was like no way this man's gonna make a wafers taste like you're eating an old baseball
card and i don't hate it right you're like i love the gum that used to come with baseball i ate that
when i was kind of gum when i was 10 my dad got me a pack of cards from 1988 the year i was born
and i ate the gum that was in there and i like and then he's like like what why did i think it
would be crumbles into dust right oh it does oh yeah the second you bite it it like cracks like the fucking like
salt and sea floor and then like you get like uh maybe one or two chews before it just turns
to absolute it's like you're eating a vampire in the sun right but i love those those those candies
maybe it was like a uh um i wish i hadn't brought this
up in therapy once about the candy that i love but i think maybe it was a a hoarding defense
mechanism where i thought i could get more if i liked what no one wanted like the bad stuff
yeah wow and my therapist was like actually we're done for today or so i don't know yeah
right also all that stuff is microplastics i hope you're good with that i
am yeah yeah i use them to coat my cast iron i don't know i don't know that i believe that like
every piece of gum that you swallow like sits in your gut for i'm pretty sure that's been debunked
like for 15 years yeah i'm pretty sure every piece of baseball card gum that i chewed dissolved into
my mouth and just swallowed is
still with me in some form. It's
almost the equivalent of a steroid.
Yeah, exactly. That ball
that bounced off Jose Canseco's head, that just
hit some old gum. That's why it bounced so much.
That's right. See, if you liked the TV show
Baseball, you would know about a character
named Jose Canseco who
is more insane than any soap opera anyways.
One of the greats
yeah one of the great characters of all time the main hit home run for a different team with his
skull that's right it's a header man it's a header yeah all right let's take a quick break we'll be
right back hey i'm gianna Pradente.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.
Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.
Every great player needs a foil.
I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day,
and that's what I focus on.
From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her.
What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?
And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?
This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.
This new season will cover all things sports and culture.
Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back.
We're back.
Yeah, so the debt ceiling crisis was averted as miles.
You said it would be.
You had a feeling on this one.
Guys, I've been saying this forever.
I think many other pundits are like, they're going to do this
every time. They're going to go, it's a fuck, it could be
a disaster, but we're going
to find a deal. We're not going to find
a deal. Or they'll be like, there's no
way we can back this kind of
spending. We need to clamp down on spending.
We don't care if the economy goes into
a shutdown. And they're like, actually, though, don't
worry, we're going to find a deal. We're going to find a deal.
They had to say one thing for their base and then another for the markets where they're
like don't worry there's still going to be money but also for our partisan listeners at home we
don't negotiate with terrorists or we're gonna get them to fucking roll back everything about
the environment or whatever the things that the gop was going for so um you know we're here and
it again true to forum the we've just all it would do
is arrive at a moment where the republicans would use their majority to basically cut spending
that's all that's all that happens with these like debt ceiling fucking crises quote unquote
is really it's like a time for dark money and other people to just be like hey why don't you
guys like just avoid looking at this loophole really quick
that allows us to get a lot of money
to people that run hedge funds and things like that.
Because a lot of the talk right now,
depending on where you get your news,
it's like the GOP took an L
or this is the best Biden could do.
Thank God for Joe Brandon.
Or it's like, or progressives are like,
Joe Brandon completely fucked that up.
Wow, what the fuck was that?
The fact of the matter is, they just made it very hard to get food stamps now.
Essentially froze non-military spending and gave away billions to the wealthy.
And that's really where we're at at the moment.
It's important that we keep spending in the two categories of money.
Non and non-non-military.
Right. Yeah. The two places money can go absolutely i mean this is like when they like they can barely account for their own like
like trillions of dollars in assets and like recently there's like a three billion dollar
like miscalculation that they found and they didn't even make like no one even talked about
it i would imagine they were
calculating all the debt and then someone typed eight zero zero eight five into the calculator
showed it to someone and then that screwed up a comma somewhere and three billion dollars was lost
7734206 what is that go to hell oh got him but yeah i mean this is like i don't know about that
one it's it's just like i think again
when you look at like for example the biden and the gop agreed to not close a loophole that's
basically a 50 billion dollar giveaway to the wealthiest americans like it's it's a pass-through
loophole that allows people to use like a pass-through entity like a private equity firm
or a hedge fund or law firms or medical practices to bypass a $10,000 limit on
state and local tax write-offs. You know, the things everyone has access to, the things you
and I have access to on a regular basis. A medical practice. So because I'm writing off over $10,000.
I feel like I can breathe again now that I can write off more than $10,000.
Could you imagine? I'm writing off three quarters of my yearly salary
right i mean and again like all like all that would need to happen for something like this
would just be for like the irs to enforce the fucking laws but guess what the democrats and
republicans also they they've just agreed hey you know what we can we cannot really fund the irs we
can slash that budget down a little bit because basically means there's less hall monitors to pay attention to the tax cheat fuckery um so the people that end up winning
the wealthy the people that end up losing people in need like if you're on like you know snap
program or let's say fucking student debt because now he's essentially codified the end of the
student loan uh where he's basically saying payments will resume
at the end of august so just just a rare win for the rich yeah it's good to see him back in
corporations finally got one they've been on a long losing streak they hadn't won anything since
earlier in the email yeah yeah so it's just like it's just like a really fucking you know it the wild thing is like right on the right wing
they're like you know fucking mccarthy screwed us we're not gonna vote for this and the progress
progressives in the democratic party like what a fucking clown show like you could have passed
the fucking debt ceiling resolution in the lame duck session between the election and the like
swearing in of the new class when you had the votes but you
fucking didn't and now you have to sit down with these fucking creeps who are just going to make
you slash more social spending which is the name of the fucking game and it really that really just
gives cover to the democrats to cut social spending right which is what their corporate
benefactors or corporate bosses want anyway right because a their bosses they're not
gonna fuck up their their benefactors financial situation by throwing the economy into a fucking
manufactured recession that was for damn sure so they're like all right so here we'll give you that
loophole we won't we won't touch the tax the trump tax cuts it's just like there's nothing like so
where are you gonna to make this revenue
from not much of there just a lot of cuts and shit like that so uh now the drama will be kicked
down the road and we'll see if today i mean they're voting on it today the new york times is
like please sign the thing now it's perfect i mean it's as best as we can do um but yeah right now
mccarthy's trying to see if he has the votes because that could be the last little bit of drama uh that might hold this thing up they might ask for like every every classroom
has a assault what rifle or something like that like they're like we we got to push this through
yeah i mean yeah i mean like right now the you know biden and mccarthy have come together to
basically like fuck off the wings of their party to be like, all right, you got enough people in your pocket because I got enough people in mine that we can push this budget through.
Like we can lose all of the Freedom Caucus freaks and all of the progressives.
They can vote against it, but we can come together in the name of centrism to get it done.
And now they're patting themselves on the back.
And like some people like Biden does it again.
And it's like, no, he he still got it sneaky joe i'm trying to slip right through it yeah it's
so sneaky sneakers through it um all right america is rethinking the whole parking spot thing so
there's there's a new book by a guy named hen Graber that's pointing out like specifically New York city could repurpose some of its 3 million curbside
parking lots,
which would then provide like the amount of space that's taken up by parking
in just New York city to put things in perspective is the area equivalent to
52 central parks.
That's like,
how is that physically possible? The area equivalent to 52 central parks. That's like...
How is that physically possible?
Because every street in the city is lined on both sides with parking.
Everything is...
And there's no alleys in New York.
Yeah.
They don't have alleyways.
But could you make 52...
What is the proportion of central park to Manhattan?
I'm sorry.
I'm getting real nerdy here.
I'm like...
Central park is about 1 52th
of the amount of parking that there is, if you need
to visualize it. That's actually really helpful.
That's a good way to put it. Now I can picture it.
Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't...
You wouldn't be able to move the buildings
around and create 52 Central Parks,
obviously. But the equivalent
square footage is what they're saying? Yeah, equivalent square
footage. You know how your intestines are like
7,000 miles long
or whatever they are?
That's what parking is like in New York City.
You look at Manhattan from above,
you're like, there's no way that my crap-a-watch
could fit and do all that.
Now unwind it.
It's 52 Central Parks.
And then that makes the sidewalks where the trash goes.
Right.
Well, that is one of the things people are pointing out
is it would make it possible for there to be proper trash
storage so that you could actually you know put trash in new york city in containers no no it
does not currently happen and it's why new york is synonymous with like having a horrible swarming
rat problem not only does it not happen,
when you type that sentence out in the doc,
a red squiggly line goes underneath it.
That's how little New York has for trash cleanup.
Just living in New York,
there are these massive snow banks of trash
on the sidewalk sometimes.
It's truly wild.
I remember as a kid,
we pushed our
friend into it when we're walking because we're like dude when he gets next to it just fucking
launch him into the and he disappeared we haven't seen him since just shouldered him if you don't
do it on that opportunity you can do it nine feet later at the slightly larger yeah i think that i
don't think this was an efficient way for cities to rebuild, but New York is, it has never quite fully burned down like,
like San Francisco and Chicago like to do.
Right.
And what happened when San Francisco and Chicago burned down those parts of
the city have nice alleyways for storing trash.
That's right.
I'm not saying that's,
I think maybe this parking thing's a better idea than purpose fire,
but,
um,
well,
yeah,
I'm not a city planner.
Precision arson is your solution,
Kyle,
to every problem that we
raised before we started recording.
It really is.
Everything from protecting our
democracy. The debt ceiling.
Precision firing, now it's the
debt sky. That's right.
Which is the link.
I think New York just got 9-11
and we got a police state.
That's right. Lower Manhattan has like the best we could do.
Yeah, but lower Manhattan has tons of places to store trash.
Yeah, that's true.
You have to rebuild a lot and make these alleyways.
And yeah, really, and really cool camera arrays that are just jetting up from everywhere to be like, what is this?
Like, we're looking at you.
We're looking at you, motherfucker.
Nah, it's made everything safe forever.
But so our writer, JM, kind of looked back at some some past examples
we've talked about paris um we've talked about some cities in the netherlands uh zurich back in
1996 flat out stated there would be no more parking in the city like if a developer wanted
to create new parking spaces they would be required to remove that many parking spaces
from the city streets i love that that's like nightclub. It's like one in one out.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, yeah, the fire marshal's there with the clicker. Hey, sorry, man. Sorry.
Need a few more out. Need a few more out.
Just on a stool, holding a clicker.
Click, click, click.
Paris has been removing street parking, replacing it with underground facilities.
And last year, they passed a law requiring parking lots big enough to hold around 50
American-sized cars. love that we stand for something in the global community when they see
american-sized cars it is the hot dog car from i think you should leave that's right right uh if it
can hold 50 american-sized cars they're required to build raised solar panel canopies covering
at least half of the surface
of the parking lot which would be the equivalent of 10 nuclear power plants um so i don't know
that's cool it seems seems like these are all positive ideas hey just with that you'd have
nice clear streets and the power of 10 nuclear power plants. Like, wow. This does sound like the meekest superhero origin story.
Right.
Solar man.
He could be called like the Paris Accord
because he was parking his Honda
and accidentally got electrocuted by the solar panel.
And now he's just pretty attuned to traffic flow.
Yeah.
And then Berlin, one neighborhood experiment
with getting rid of
parking spots all together and are like allowing bikes and scooters to occupy spaces that used to
be exclusive to cars so this is all like these are great when you look at pictures of these places
it's like here's what it used to look like and it's like an american city and now here's what
it looks looks like and there's just like all these amazing creative things that they're doing with all the sidewalk space.
And, you know, like they have things called bike highways in Paris that are just what used to be streets that are now, you know, parks with bike lanes going through them essentially in the US.
So there are around 2 billion parking spaces in the country, which amounts to nearly seven parking spaces for every car, which seems like too many.
Guns in parking are a uniquely American problem.
Yeah.
That's got to level out if you just like get rid of Houston.
Right.
Yeah, maybe.
Like all of those statistics.
Like there was just a move at the,
like when cars first became a thing,
like they encoded all these laws,
these like zoning codes that mandated minimum parking requirements for real estate projects that basically said that when a new building goes up,
there's a minimum number of parking spaces that need to be provided or like
the city will fall or else.
And like,
everyone has been like that.
It turns out that's not the case jackson wyoming
a study found that there were 27 spaces for every home so there's just wait you're telling me there's
54 parking spaces in jackson wyoming that's right but it was actually like inverted at this time
like when these zoning restrictions went into place uh the cool thing was like among young
people like was driving like that was and like public transportation was like what the old people
were into and used but like driving was seen as like individualistic and like you controlled your
own destiny and like that's the the book on the road
is like the bible for this shit but i don't know it feels like now we have an opportunity with a
generation coming up that like doesn't even get their license at the same rate as ever before
right and that think cars are shit um so it seems like there should be an opportunity here to roll
some of this shit back but it's just a just a matter of getting out from under this massive system.
If there's one thing I've found, it's that Americans are generally receptive to wide sweeping change.
So I think if this is presented on a local and a national level and they hear it from anyone they don't care for, they'll be in.
This is something they'll jump on board for.
They'll just listen to reason on this one yeah we have like these dumb fucking zoning laws and like the worshiping
of parking spaces and we're i think we've talked about the past how cars are getting too big for
fucking parking spaces because every car manufacturer is like people will buy bigger
cars for more money so just make them fucking gigantic to the point you can't even park them
in the old parking spaces and a lot of that has to do with the national automobile dealers association because they're just like a massive
lobbying group and they you know they're they got all the dealers on one page and like they
definitely help push through a lot of that kind of stuff too that i don't have like a massively
informed uh knowledge on this but i do know that tire companies like firestone were very big on
sabotaging transit in los angeles oh yeah los angeles used to have like a huge amount of rail cars yeah like above
ground like san francisco style rail cars and then they just pushed they were invested in by a company
that was essentially funded by firestone and general motors that just was like we should get
rid of all these and make it impossible to get around this. Because LA used to have so many more stops.
It's such a vast transit system.
Yeah, if you look at the old layout
of that old system,
your eyes would water.
And I mentioned this
on a past episode.
Growing up,
you'd trip over
the old infrastructure
in the street.
And you're like,
what the fuck is this?
Was there a train here?
Yeah.
No, 100%.
And it's like, the asphalt is revealing a little bit of the track. And then some? It's like, was there a train here? Yeah, no, 100%. And it's like the,
like the asphalt is like revealing a little bit of the track.
And then some older person's like,
that's when the trolley used to come through here.
And you're like,
no fucking way.
Get away.
Get in my Honda.
It was like,
it would be from like long beach,
Santa Monica.
This is just super specific to LA,
but like massive and sprawling all the way out through the valley and
everything.
Yeah. Just completely replaced. Cause because for some reason a tire company
wanted more cars yeah yeah and even
buses instead of the transit which are
a lot less efficient and harder to track and things
like that yeah I think it was that and
also just that it was like seen
as cool like it really was
cars were seen as cool I mean
they still are early freedom you know
you're 16 you can get out of your house
and go somewhere on your own.
Go smoke pot by the lookout.
James Dean.
He's making sausage.
Actually made him seem really cool.
I just saw a statue of him up at the
observatory.
There are some
US cities getting rid of the minimum
parking requirements. at least there's
been 15 in 2022 alone um which it also has an impact on the housing crisis because when you
like are building something that requires you to build a bunch of like find a bunch of parking
spots for it it just like changes how you approach the thing it makes it way more expensive and then those
costs get folded into uh the the cost to the builder oh wait no sorry folded into the rent
or the price always um regardless of whether or not you they love to pass those savings on to you
yeah that's right um just get you you guys want in on this too we're thinking about going in on
some parking you guys want it all right why not We're thinking about going in on some parking. You guys want in? All right. Why not?
No.
We have a big problem.
That's right.
Also,
apparently we have a big problem with people murdering each other over
parking spaces,
which I wasn't aware of,
but yeah,
it's an annual multi-dozen occurrence.
Apparently it was weird.
I took a guy's parking spot that he really wanted.
He was really angry
and then i tried saying no no there's seven of these for every car in america yeah he wasn't
listening to reason that didn't calm him calm him down and you should have you should have an
abundance mentality sir not a scarcity mentality there's a car i drove up to griffith observatory
with my dog and we're hanging out up there and there was so little parking that people are like almost fighting each other to pay ten dollars an hour yeah yeah i had
that same experience and just turned around i was like well this has been a nice ride just drove off
the edge of the cliff yeah i was like it just drove into the ocean that's what happened to the
family no parking it just went right off the you know what kids how about we go to the ocean that's what happened to the odoyle family no parking it just went right off the you know what kids how about we go to the ocean and get our whole shit bit instead that's right rather
do that than this crap but yeah it's like it really does bring the weirdest shit out of people
because i feel like on the internet you always see videos of like people who like stand in a
fucking parking space like with their hands on their hips and they're like no go around go around
my husband's coming with the car he's coming with 45 minutes away yeah my husband's almost born
and it kind of and i get so like fucking incensed by seeing those videos and i'm like i
like for what and i you can tell when you know how shit can go left in those situations because
people are so fucking protective or exercise this bizarre fucked up sense of ownership i think
chicago has like wild unwritten rules about chairing off snow spaces that you've dug out
like if your car was if it snows around your car you're allowed to put a folding chair and
keep that spot for the day if you've done the work if you've done the work or something like
that and you know you know the thing about those unwritten rules is everyone loves them yeah when someone
just throws that chair 40 feet and parks there you're allowed to key their car and take a shit
on the hood so yeah zeitgang let us know what are the weird parking laws uh there has to be i feel
like there's a lot of this weird unwritten stuff that exists can you cover the sidewalk does a chair take a spot where you know i mean there's got it
right it feels like city to city and town to town yeah because like i was always blown away like
when i was in seattle recently how people just park on the wrong side of the road too like just
they're like yep i don't know fuck it park on whatever side i want to to park this car and like
as an like la person where we have just such fucking draconian like parking enforcement rules i'm like is that is that's
allowed here in this musical town all right let's take a quick break we'll uh talk some
shit about seattle off mike and then uh no no i'm just kidding. But what the fuck? They parted the opposite way?
What's wrong with them?
And how'd that work out for Kurt Cobain?
Thank you.
And Jimi Hendrix.
That's true.
That's right.

And Sir Mix-a-Lot.
And Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Did you fly into Seattle?
No.
Walked.
You walked?
Yeah.
Typical.
It's man.
I wasn't on parental leave.
I was walking to seattle
and then i flew back just took like three months to go a really long time
wait why are you asking the question because i just that airport i was like there for a single
day and that airport i ended up spending like two hours there and there's like hey this is
duff mckagan from guns and roses like
oh yeah yeah kind of blew me away there's just like yeah i like cities that don't have any famous
people that they're just like hey this is bob mckendricks you know me do i are you the most
famous guy from omaha i have no idea who you are celebrity pipe fitter. Duff McKagan, Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, Macklemore, all-star lineup.
Darius Rucker.
Oh, no, wait.
Oh, no, that's Nashville.
You get Darius Rucker.
I can't think of anyone I would more want to have ask me if my possessions have been with me the entire time I was parking than Macklemore.
Yeah.
Unless you got your things from a thrift shop. Hey, it was parking than Macklemore. Yeah. Unless you got your things from
a thrift shop. Hey,
it's me, Macklemore. I know you
said that up top. Yay, that's been
me, Macklemore. That's me, Macklemore, the
white guy who won the Grammy.
Was it over Kendrick?
Yeah, it's over
one of the greatest,
most persevering, long-lasting, holds-up
rap albums of all time
do you think they're like white rap bands who are like fuck yeah macklemore
i think there were old grammy voters who were who were like oh ryan lewis is an accessible name
right right kendrick lamar i don't know about that. It's about this donut place. Yeah. All right.
Pedro Pascal.
Speaking of famous people,
a lot of people were first introduced to Pedro Pascal in Game of Thrones
and unintroduced to him or said goodbye to him
in his character's most memorable scene
in which he fights the mountain.
We're all rooting for him.
And the mountain gets a hold of that noggin
the hold of that melon and those face eggs yeah take those face eggs and uh pops them
with his thumbs so he gouges his eyes out with his thumbs uh burned into my memory, my heart. So it became...
Were you fucked up when
Oberyn Martell died?
Did you think he had a chance to?
I guess I did a little bit.
I did as I was watching it.
I feel like that scene
of that is how all of
Succession felt all of the time.
Where you're like, oh, he's got a chance.
Oh, it's way worse than I thought it could be oh my god not only has he lost but oh it's gonna work out for her oh no no
no no no no wow shit's really on a roll heading into this one i bet it's just gonna keep going
like this but yeah i think they did a good job of just like getting you in the cadence of the show
and like he was a hero and it felt like everything was heroic yeah yeah for sure it's both like a
hard moment to watch and like wasn't fun at the time but also i think what made that show great
is oh yeah like no no this is how history happens like the guy that you're all hoping for just
because you like him doesn't make him invincible. Yeah, right. He felt a little more invincible
too because he was outside of these major
he was like a cool guy who
didn't care about the main fight.
He just sort of was like
and very, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But he's too happy.
Anyway, so what were we talking about?
That moment became so famous
that he has
recreated on the red carpet of a Game of Thrones event back in 2019.
He looks like he was a little drunk when he did that.
Just having a good time.
Got his thumbs in his eyes and his tongue out.
He looks drunk as fuck.
It's like he's like, it's as if Game of Thrones did like a collaboration with the Budweiser frogs.
Or like the Budweiser was up guys.
Cause he's sort of like doing like,
I've never seen someone look more mid weather in my life.
Um,
Pedro anyways,
uh,
you know,
good sport.
Uh,
and in fact,
such a good sport.
Uh,
he just revealed during a Hollywood reporter actor round table that fans
often wanted to take selfies,
recreating this scene with their thumbs right in his eyes.
The.
Go.
Like that.
It's so horrifying.
So invasive.
Um,
and even wilder than that.
And I can't believe that one person came up with this request,
let alone multiple people.
Maybe the first person posted it on the gram,
and everyone was like, ooh, I need that on my wall.
But he let them do this.
Like they go, hey, is it cool if we flick it up, Pedro?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, can I put my thumbs in your eyes?
Like I'm gouging them out.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah, of course.
That's what people ask people.
Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
It was pre-COVID times.
I hope we didn't know how disgusting everyone was.
But yeah, he let random strangers shove their disgusting thumbs into his eyes just to snap a picture because he was, quote, so happy about the success of the character in the show.
But because people are gross and their hands weren't clean, he got a bit of an eye infection as a result.
It just cuts to like that paul
rudd saying that's how you get pink eye situation right i think a similar thing uh happened with
giancarlo esposito where he let too many people singe off half of his face for selfies
to where now he has some irreparable scarring yeah oh my god get too mad like Giancarlo do you mind if I
I brought a bell half of it yeah I brought a bell shout out to that bell but yeah I guess I mean
it's kind of it's funny because his like the lore of Pedro Pascal is like he's like a nice guy like
everyone seemed to say that he's like really cool and nice or whatever but it's just funny it's like
to the point that he will like let you rub your bacteria laden fingertips all over his ocular cavities um and you know we're just having
a bit of an eye infection which also sounds like him playing off something really horrific right
yeah like what was it like was it just worming its way out of his eyes in real time it was actually
used as concept art for one of the zombies in the Last of Us because my eyes are so fucking far gone.
Yeah.
A lot of eye stuff with this guy.
Anyways, a true hero who needs to work on his boundaries, I would say.
And speaking of true heroes that need to work on their boundaries, Kyle, such a pleasure having you on The Daily Zeitgeist.
Thanks for having me.
