Starting point is 00:03:16 Shannon. Shannon. Shannon. Shannon. Shannon. I know, isn't that good? Shannon. I wish there was a tiny Michael Jackson on my shoulder just doing that nonstop.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Shannon. I'm like, I'm sorry, I can't hear you right now. Can you turn off your tiny Michael Jackson for the recording? I have a feeling this is going to keep happening the whole time. 45 minutes of Michael Jackson. Shannon. I cannot stop. Yo, I got to stop drinking this concentrated cold brew. Shannon, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are?
Starting point is 00:03:52 You know what? I realized I recently Googled just like some tips on how to boil broccoli. Hey. And you know what? There was like so many articles out there on like helping people like just, you know, feel confident that you're boiling broccoli correctly. And I was like, what does this say about us? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Feel confident. Like as if you're asking your boss for a raise. Kind of like motivational. Exactly. Don't worry. We see what Miles has been. Yes, Jack. Uh oh.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I've been. Yes. I've been actually Googling how to not cry during This Is Us. It's impossible. It's impossible. It's impossible. But this is about me right now. Okay, yes. Now, when you do this, because I like to make broccoli.
Starting point is 00:04:30 It's one of my favorite cruciferous festivals. Steaming is better than boiling. Cruciferous. It's like, you know, the cauliflower and stuff like that. You got to eat. Do you blanch it? Do you like it a little crunch or do you like it soft and mushy? You know what?
Starting point is 00:04:41 I like to play around and switch it up because I cook at home a lot. So, like, you know, I don't like to have the same type of broccoli all the time who does i say fry it up you know maybe throw it in the oven with some potatoes nah i don't eat potatoes that's i don't know why i like made that up this is you turn it real quick yeah potatoes nah fuck potatoes they're just like eating paper you ever had a a filet of uh cauliflower just like a cross-section cauliflower where they like make it taste like steak? Well, I don't know if it tastes like steak, but it is delicious. Exactly like steak.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Have you had steak before? No. I don't know what steak is. I've actually had my parents were pescatorians. Pescatorians. Pescatorians, yeah. It's a race from Star Trek. They're pescatarians
Starting point is 00:05:25 and for like the first seven years of my life and we were at a barbecue and my grandfather said Jack do you want a burger or steak? And I said what steak? And everybody was like ashamed of me as
Starting point is 00:05:41 a man. I'm not. Thank you. I think you're super manly without a stake. I knew what grouper was. So Shannon, what is something that is underrated? Underrated, I would say spending time alone. Underrated, you guys. People think it's boring and horrible. Yeah, I feel like people are like, I don't want to be alone.
Starting point is 00:06:00 And you're like, I'm just like, you know what? Get in that mind. Get in that mind because it's so endless. I love being alone and just being like lost in my thoughts. It's so good. That's like, yeah, when you were lost outside and we just saw you walking up and down the street in your own thoughts. We actually just
Starting point is 00:06:15 found you wandering our neighborhood. You want to be on the show? Yeah, and I was having a good-ass time though by myself and I was like, I don't know. Usually I'd say no, but you guys are quality. So I said yes. Do you consider yourself an introvert? Yeah, I would say I'm definitely an introvert.
Starting point is 00:06:34 There's a lot of energy vampires out there. And so when I go to parties and stuff, I'm like, just stop sucking out my positivity. People come for me and I'm like, get away. This is precious energy. Can you believe you're like, no, I can't believe whatever you're about to complain about. Yeah, I'm like, shut away. Oh, really? This is precious energy. You're like, can you believe? You're like, no, I can't believe whatever you're about to complain about. Yeah. I'm like, shut up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I don't care about you. I feel like a lot of people who say like, I hate being alone. Those are typically, you have very chaotic minds. So it's very difficult to just sort of sit there without being like, oh, am I going to have to address something in my mind? I don't know. I'm also like an only child. So I'm like wired to always be alone and not need it.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It's like restorative for me to be alone. I'm also like an only child. So I'm like wired to always be alone. Oh, yeah. And I need it. It's like restorative for me to be alone. I just think it's so good. But I also think the people who are afraid of being alone are the people who need it the most. Because I think you need to sit with your thoughts and just kind of work out what's coming up. Yeah. Because if not, it comes out in weird ways around other people. And then you're just, you're not even listening to yourself. You're just kind of taking suggestions from the outside world and you're just mostly reactive instead of like right living from
Starting point is 00:07:28 the inside yeah going outward being an extrovert does seem like it would be easier in the world that we have set up like right because you could just be like yeah i'm jamming this train right now energy from all these people instead i'm like oh god you guys are really zapping my vibe what's something you think is overrated? Overrated, I'm going to say going out to eat. Oh. Yeah. You know what?
Starting point is 00:07:52 I think it costs too much. I barely ever enjoy the experience of eating out. I feel like customer service is not that great. And the food they give you at places, you're really going to like a really like special restaurant or like some kind of like specialty food i feel like it's not worth it it's just kind of like hey make that stuff at home save that money you know how to make uh tiki tenders uh from islands at home because i don't that would be a specialty restaurant okay oh that's a special oh okay i'm glad we're all thinking island islands specialty and i don't know how if islands is all over the u.s but ah let me tell you
Starting point is 00:08:28 the cheddar fries um yeah and the other good thing about eating at home is you can control what goes into your food whereas i feel like at restaurant like at steakhouses their secret to making their steak so good is they butter their steak. Huh? I've never been to a steak house. I've never been to a steak house. I forgot it. Yeah. Steak house is that what they're called? The way they steak the meat.
Starting point is 00:08:52 It's so good. No, but they butter their steaks. It's like, yeah, that would taste good. They definitely do. You have to. No doubt. There's something nice about seeing your food and knowing how it was cooked and watching everything, what happened to it and who touched it. You're like, I touched
Starting point is 00:09:06 it. You've got to baste your steak in butter though. That's just the key. Oh my goodness, letting that butter cook it on the outside. Don't eat too much steak, you guys. No, I just eat butter. I'm not doing that well where I can eat steak with my butter. I just eat my butter straight. I advocate
Starting point is 00:09:22 for not buttering but salting your steak. Put that on the grill. It's just as for not buttering but salting your steak put that on the grill it's just as good okay great as buttering it meat tips from us to you from a man who didn't know all right we're trying to take a sample of what people are thinking and talking about right now and the way we like to open up is by asking shannon what is a myth what is something that people think is true out there at the moment that you know to be false? I'm going to say I think it's a myth that being humble is good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Okay. And listen, this comes from someone who is very humble almost to a fault. So I feel like lately I've been trying to pump myself up. And just naturally I've been doing a lot know like pump myself up and like just naturally i'll be um i've been doing a lot of creative projects with other people and collaborating and i'll say something like yeah of course it's going to be funny like i've never written something that wasn't funny and someone will be like quincy jones damn what's going on over here and i'm like well i mean i just like i'm an old ass woman yeah like i know what i can do right um but i
Starting point is 00:10:23 think it's not old yeah guys i ass woman. You're not old. Guys, I am really old for those of you who haven't seen me in person. Yeah, I mean mid-60s is the new 30 though. Hey, but when you got that neck – It's true. It's true. Yeah, it's like Melisandre in Game of Thrones. Yeah, I moisturize my neck so you can't really tell. I'm an old ass woman. But I think that people should be humble in a way that like don't be a cocky asshole and like treat people poorly.
Starting point is 00:10:47 But at the end of the day, if you don't, you know, you don't like share your accomplishments and your strengths, no one's going to know about them. And you're not going to I mean, just accomplishing things isn't enough, honestly, because I work so many jobs where I see people and myself included. Like we spend 100 percent of our time working hard and making accomplishments and achieving the goals that we want to achieve. And the people who just like do half of that and spend the other half of the time being like, look what I did. They get what they want.
Starting point is 00:11:15 So I think like work hard, be good, but also like toot your own horn and be like, hey guys, check me out. I'm fucking dope. I think that's really good advice. We were talking on an episode earlier this week about the Dunning-Kruger effect and how people who are very good at their job know all the things that they don't know or all the things that they do badly about their job. And so, therefore, they are more humble than people who just don't know shit about how to do the job and come in and they're like yeah i'm fucking nailing this uh so i agree people who
Starting point is 00:11:51 are very good at their job like you are probably too humble in general uh and then it's just that rare talented person who also uh is a megalomaniac uh Kanye who breaks through and has like unprecedented success because he has both things. He knows he's good and he actually is good. So, yeah. And it's much easier to force the knowing you're good than it is to force the being good. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 That's true. Talented people out there. Tell the world. Just believe. Yeah. And also don't. Yeah. There's actually someone on Twitter who tweeted at me this morning who said they were thinking about imposter syndrome because they were talking about it and how they were sort of like a little hesitant to go out there and share their talents because they see other people maybe being more vocal or better than themselves.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And to that, just as creative people, it's very easy to look at someone else and be like, oh, man, I'm not on that level. But that's not what it's about. You can't live comparatively in that, especially with creativity. That is something unique to just you and only you. So just focus on being the best version of you. And ain't nobody going to touch you because nobody can be you just like you can't be the person you think you can't be. Of course not. But you can be you and you can do you.
Starting point is 00:13:02 So take that, beloved. Beautiful. Iyanla saved my life Alright Let us get into The Gun response Trump Free Thursday Trump Free Thursday
Starting point is 00:13:17 Trump Free Thursday Wait what is your album about? We need to get that clean Because that is beautiful That needs to be our Trump Free Thursday sting I'm just going to come here Singing all day Yeah exactly Okay remind us after the show We're going to get that clean. That is beautiful. That needs to be our Trump Free Thursday sting. I'm just going to come here singing all day. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Remind us after the show we're going to record that clean.
Starting point is 00:13:31 So what can we talk about that happened yesterday? We can talk about that town hall meeting. Yes. Because he who must not be named was not at that. But Senator Marco Rubio was, as was Dana Loesch. We predicted that this was going to be interesting on yesterday's episode because why was the NRA coming out so spicy, like just sending their most over the top, like spokes model crazy person to this event? And she did not disappoint she was you know respectful of the fact that they had just experienced a tragedy but then uh you know she did a lot of dancing and squirming and pivoting yeah actually she did disappoint last night and then this morning
Starting point is 00:14:18 she came out right like these liberals she gave a speech this morning that was very angry and talked about how people screamed burn her at the town hall. Yeah, because what she thinks all these teenagers are like people from the Salem witch trials. Yeah, yeah. Like burn her. Burn her. Who under the age of 70 would be like burn her. You'd be like fuck this bitch or whatever. That's how – Delete her Twitter. Yeah, right. Or whatever. But yeah, burn her you'd be like fuck this bitch or whatever that's how you know delete her twitter
Starting point is 00:14:47 yeah or whatever but yeah burn her like come on you got angry ass teenagers we they don't talk i said we like as if i'm i'm 33 miles is a cool teen i'm a cool teen y'all that's why i'm going undercover in high schools you can't tell shannon is 65 and miles cool teen cool teen skateboarding right now. Yeah. I sit on a throne of skateboards with my backwards hat and spinny hat on the top. But yeah, she was a little disappointing in that like, yeah, we thought she was going to bring that energy to the town hall of like puffing her chest out. But I think she realized with the way Marco Rubio, when he took the stage, they were clearly not in friendly territory at oil. So do you want to throw that clip first?
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yeah, let's listen to some. So this is some. Yeah, this is Marco Rubio first talking. This is when a student put his fucking feet to the fire. And, you know, shout out to these kids, though, because they they really are inspiring. I love these kids. Yeah, because when I was in high school, we were not very politically active. But yes, this is a student talking with Marco Rubio.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Senator Rubio, it's hard to look at you and not look down the barrel of an AR-15 and not look at Nicholas Cruz. But the point is you're here and there are some people who are not. This isn't about red and blue. We can't boo people because they're Democrats and boo people because they're Republicans. and blue. We can't boo people because they're Democrats and boo people because they're Republicans. Anyone who's willing to show change, no matter where they're from, anybody who's willing to start to make a difference is somebody we need on our side here. And this is about people who are for making a difference to save us and people who are against it and prefer money. So Senator Rubio, can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the NRA?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Whoop! Yes, right? Yeah, yeah, that's cool. For sure. All right, moving on. Is that what the team's like? I mean, it's open. I wish I could have asked the NRA lady a question.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I wish the NRA lady I could have talked to, because I would ask her how she can look in the mirror, considering the fact that she has children, but, you know avoids those I'm sorry but that's okay oh you think that's about NRA money I will answer any questions you guys have about any part right now right now guys be quiet be quiet you know you know and I will and I just think that ultimately that is not our goal here our goal here is to move forward so hold on so right now in the name in the name of 17 people you cannot ask the NRA to keep their money out of your campaign? I think in the name of 17 people, I can pledge to you that I will support any law that will prevent a killer like this. No, but I'm talking NRA money.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Oh, see. Oh, see. He's a teenager. As a matter of fact, I bet we can get people in here to give you exactly as much money the NRA would have. But it's not. I understand. And you're right. Can you stand up and answer that real quick?
Starting point is 00:17:32 Ooh. So that was a hard question. So, like, usually they don't get to keep the microphone and be like, no, you're not answering the question. You're not answering the question. And so his, like, little pivot there did not work. Which is crazy because journalists, you could take note. I mean, look, it looks aggressive, but you have to, especially for an issue like this and people want to squirm and not answer a question directly because they can't bite the hand that feeds them. I'm just glad this kid did it.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And that's – teenagers, what did you expect? Now, could his opener have used a little work yeah what was that like the the thing about it's hard to look at you and not look down the barrel of an ak-47 or whatever that that didn't really make sense my man but like that's all right because he then went on to ask a very clear and cogent uh question which rubio could not could not answer he looks sort sort of shocked. I'll tell you what I can guarantee is I'll support any... Are you drinking
Starting point is 00:18:30 again, Marco? It's like when he's talking to his stepdad with a drinking problem. Man, what's going on? Because my mom's not going to confront you. Your mom, your mom... No, Marco. Why was there that beer can in your car? Your mom should not have been looking through my car.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Fuck you, my car! But yes, I mean, yeah, shout outs to them. I think, again, it's very interesting to see him say, can you tell them in the name of 17 dead people will you reject the money of the NRA? And he later on went to go on to say, you know, people buy into my agenda. He said that. He said people buy into my agenda? It's like, yeah are you just that like bad at talking like a human being that you can't can't avoid saying people buy into my agenda
Starting point is 00:19:14 there was also a moment where he accidentally like gave them something that people were fond of where he was like uh then you'd have to outright ban assault weapons right and the crowd erupted right and then he looks confused he's like oh y'all want that yeah like he doesn't get it we haven't been clear enough right genuinely out there like it was a joke like yeah i mean if we do that we might as well ban all assault right he thought that was gonna be like the equivalent of like, and what are we going to do? Marry our dogs next? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:49 And we were like, yes, we do want to marry our dogs. Yes, motherfucker. Yeah. Because then he was like talking about it. He's like, well, then there's 200 guns like at least that we'd have to get rid of. And they're like, yeah. Yeah, what's your point? And he's like, but then there's like 2,000 other ones that also define what i mean how do we do that anyway that was also i think part of a question
Starting point is 00:20:09 that was that came after a father of a child who was killed at the high school had a question for him and this guy also uh brought the heat for marco rubio your comments this week and those of our president have been pathetically weak. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah, hold that. Hold that. I guess shout out to Marco Rubio for actually showing up and just getting people to talk like me. At least he earned that money. You and I are now eye to eye.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Because I want to like you. Look at me and tell me guns were the factor in the hunting of our kids in this school this week. And look at me and tell me you accept it and you will work with us to do something about guns. Fred. Fred. Can I call you Fred? I'm not. First of all, let me explain what I said this week, and I'll repeat it.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I'll repeat what I said. Because it seems like you like it. And then I'm going to tell you what we're going to do. We're going to talk about guns, and we're going to talk about what I said this week. And here's what I said. I said that the problems that we are facing... Let him speak. I think we need to hear it. I'm saying that the problems that we're facing here today cannot speak. I think we need to hear it. I'm saying that the problems
Starting point is 00:21:25 that we're facing here today cannot be solved by gun laws alone. And I'm going to tell you what we've done already and what I hope we'll do moving forward. Were guns the factor
Starting point is 00:21:33 in the hunting of our kids? Of course they were. Now, I think what you're asking about is the assault weapons ban. Yes, sir. So let me be honest with you about that one. If I believed that that law
Starting point is 00:21:44 would have prevented this from happening, I would support it it but i want to explain to you why it would not he looks shocked here too he's like oh senator rubio my daughter running down the hallway at marjorie stoneman douglas was shot in the back yes with an assault weapon the weapon of choice yes okay it is too easy to get. It is a weapon of war. The fact that you can't stand with everybody in this building and say that, I'm sorry. Sir, I do believe what you're saying is true. I mean, the assault weapon ban is not really a thing that most like. I think people go into this conversation thinking, well, you know, it's equal sides and, you know, 50 percent of Americans want assault weapons and 50 percent don't.
Starting point is 00:22:39 But there was an assault weapon ban for 10 years in our country. It was when Columbine happened. But that was the only mass shooting. And like we talked about after this shooting happened, this shooting was bigger than Columbine. It just didn't seem like it because Columbine was like out of nowhere and had a shooting like that. It hadn't happened in a long time. And it was because weapons like this had been banned for 10 years. And there's an amazing clip from I think it was the Daily, the New York Times podcast, where they talked about how they had a clip of Bill Clinton talking about how people who were advocating to keep assault weapons. He was like, and they say that they want that they want these to go to shooting ranges to fire them.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And I think they need to get a new hobby. Like, they need to read a good book or something. Like, he was like, and everybody laughed at it. Right. And, like, that is, like, people were like, yeah, fuck these people who want to take AR-15s to shooting ranges over, like, the safety of people. Right. And when this assault weapon ban went into effect, 70% of Americans were in favor of it. Right. Yeah. wanted it it's just harder to get people to give a shit about a thing that is preventing things from happening when they haven't happened for 10 years right um so i don't know it's a it i i don't think it's as controversial as as you would think based on the fact that like the nra is
Starting point is 00:24:18 out here putting out such a strong message you would assume that you know they speak for a big chunk of americans and they're a minority a very a pretty small but super vocal minority yeah yeah it sucks that people's hobbies are like i want to shoot guns and i get that you know like i've seen so many videos where people are like it's really fun i want my gun right but i'm just like can we i do think there needs to be like more places where people can express their rage. So I wish that there was like rage cage places, like those places where you go and you smash plates. Like there should be like spots like everywhere, easily accessible, cheap, where you can go and within the safety with a professional, go shoot off a gun for fun or go break some plates, go punch some dummies, something like that.
Starting point is 00:25:07 That's like, let's use your hobby without having all these guns out there that children have access to. You want a CCC, a community catharsis center. Yes, exactly. For people to get their anger out. I mean, personally, like I've shot guns a lot and I really do enjoy shooting guns. For me, there hasn't been like a, there's not a catharsis about it. I think it's because I grew up inundated with images of guns and shit that I just like began to like romanticize, like the idea of shooting guns.
Starting point is 00:25:33 But I think there's a difference between being able to shoot a gun or hunt and then being like saying like, oh, I have a right to like a like a military style gun. Sure. That's like for you to just kind of feel good that like yo i got that gun from this thing or whatever but like i think the idea of an assault weapons ban it shouldn't be that controversial because like bro we're not saying you can't hunt or do this other shit that you're saying is part of the american culture but do you have a right to have the same shit that the military does no even if it is semi-automatic and i know a lot of people want it like especially on the nra it's like well the ar, the AR-15 is not the M4 because it's not fully automatic.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Look, let's be real. You don't need that gun to be a hobby shooter. You know what I mean? And also, if you need that gun to hunt, then you're a horrible hunter and you should find another hobby. Maybe knitting or something. That's more your speed. Don't blow the leg off the deer. That's not the point.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Well, I only need the head to hang up on my wall. Right. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017,

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away.
Starting point is 00:30:29 And we're back. And actually, I'm just seeing results from a more recent poll. So apparently the public opinion has shifted and it is now 50-50 that 51 percent of people support a prohibition on assault weapons and 46 percent oppose that ban. So it's closer to 50-50 than it was back at the end of the assault weapon ban. And, you know, also people know that the government is going to come for them and they have to be able to defend their family against the police state when Obama takes back over and comes for them. And he already has, brother. The shadow government is in full force. Hey, so the NRA, they have some interesting ideas. They have some interesting ideas.
Starting point is 00:31:36 And one of those ideas is so they have been fighting for a long time to have this mascot, Eddie the Eagle, the NRA's gun safety mascot. He's just a giant cartoon bird. They want him to be basically the only thing that is used to stop children from playing with guns. That makes sense because, look, gun control is out of the question. Right. So let me do you one better. I'll make a cartoon character that will put the responsibility on children to be safe around guns and not on fucking adults who have them around guns. Right. I don't.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Yeah. around guns and not on fucking adults who have them around gun right i don't yeah it's crazy to think that this was a solution that they put forward but it makes sense because the solution is always anything but gun control yeah so so this designer who designed eddie the eagle took the assignment thought you know this is a fun thing that can convey a message about gun safety uh and then she found out that the nRA was arguing that Eddie the Eagle is a superior alternative to negligent storage legislation or laws meant to punish adults when children shoot themselves or someone else with an unsecured gun. So, yeah, it's like assuming sexual harassment will be stopped because of Pepe Le Pew and not sexual harassment will be stopped because of peppy lepew and not sexual harassment was um
Starting point is 00:32:47 and here i think we have some uh some samples from some eddie the eagle so this is the earlier version from the 90s when jason priestly the legitimately jason priestly is in this video interacting with eddie the eagle but this is the rap that Eddie the Eagle says. So when you kids find a gun, you know what to do. Then, behind the broom, I saw a gun. At just that moment, the kids saw it too. I didn't wait. I knew what to do.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Drop the beat. Stop. Don't touch. I'm Eddie Eagle, and I like you too much. To see you get hurt, and that's why I say, if you see a gun, just walk away. Drop the beat. Raw dance. Raw dance. Dance along. Nice run. Don't touch.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Leave the area. Tell an adult. Talk it over with a grown-up you trust. Stop. Don't touch. Leave the area. Tell an adult. Talk it over with a grown-up you trust. Stop. Don't touch. Leave the area. Tell an adult. Thank you, Jason.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Good rhyming. Good rhyming. I said stop. Don't touch. Leave the area. Tell an adult. An adult you trust, which honestly, I don't trust any adults right now. So who are we going to go to?
Starting point is 00:34:02 I'm going to run to other teams. I'm going to go to school and tell your PE teacher that's really cool nope that that rhymed yeah it would not have worked and they should they should have tapped me to do that um but yeah it's a it's such a bizarre thing because like the situation is like kids playing in an attic and then they're like whoa what's this old fucking like rifle doing here? But I don't know. I guess it's a weird thing to also normalize guns for kids too. Yeah, this shit just might be around, kids. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:31 So you know what to do. Well, kids, it's America. You're going to find some loaded, unsecured guns laying around the house. This is what to do. It's on you to not shoot yourself and your friends. Have you ever had a friend who was like, hey, you want to come over and see my dad's gun? Did you ever grow up having that? No.
Starting point is 00:34:51 No? No, that's never happened to me. All right. Never mind. Wait. So it happened to you? No, no. Not like that.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Miles was just going to invite us over to see his dad's gun. No. Yeah. Anyway. But yeah, my dad has a really cool gun. No, because I think because that's always like a situation like you hear about. I remember kids would talk about like, my uncle has a gun because in california they not everyone had a gun uh but who is in that situation i guess it's a very small number of
Starting point is 00:35:15 kids who are like actually going to be like wait stop don't touch right yeah the area tell an adult thinking about my childhood now i feel like I should have been a person who found a gun because all of my neighbors, especially during the holidays or on birthdays, they would shoot guns into the lawn or in the sky. It was a big deal and people were constantly dying
Starting point is 00:35:37 during the holidays because of straight bullets. Really? Yeah. Where did you grow up? Puerto Rico. Okay. And Bayamón. coming down yeah really oh i am yeah like every like where'd you grow up puerto rico okay and bayamon um and they like yeah like that's how you there were less firecrackers and more gunshots right right right interesting which i'm just like wow and i didn't think like i i don't know i never saw anybody be like let's find it you know yeah it's funny i remember during like the holidays there would be billboards in la that
Starting point is 00:36:05 was like a child and it had a poem that says when you shoot bullets in the sky when they come down i might die and i remember being a kid and being like yo what the fuck is going on yeah because i know in certain areas yeah like people will just clap guns off for like just to just to set it off and have a good time but yeah that's true like i didn't realize that it would be so prevalent that like it was a a huge problem and that was like an eye-opening thing for me as a kid because i didn't have any legal it's just a sad thing because this is the response to like kids shooting being near guns or loose guns that this is their answer to it constantly like they had to revamp this i think in a response to another child who had shot another child because a gun was laying around the house.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Yeah. No, it happens constantly. Yeah. I also don't get it because their whole thing is like, if you put in laws against guns, people are still going to get guns on the black market. And it's like if you tell kids to stop, don't touch and run away from a gun, they're still going to grope the gun, shoot their friend and then hide in a closet and cry until their parents find them. Yeah. It's anyway. So I guess it's a fitting way for the NRA to handle a very serious problem is to really
Starting point is 00:37:14 not do anything in a very insulting way. Mm hmm. Cool. Cool. Yay. Lives don't matter. So now that we've established that lives don't matter, let's move on to a favorite conspiracy, my favorite conspiracy theory. So there's a story that diplomats in Cuba were being attacked by a sound ray weapon that was like firing noise into their ears.
Starting point is 00:37:48 ears and uh you know this all of a sudden became a big issue when trump took over because he wanted to uh roll back obama's progress with you know cuba diplomacy so they have like pulled most of their diplomats out of cuba at this point and pro publica just did a long story where they basically did a deep dive, reveal all the details of like how the attacks, quote unquote, happened. And it only supports my initial suspicion that it's a sort of mass hysteria event. That was my conspiracy theory music that you just heard kind of starting there um so the weird things that this report reveals are that uh a lot of the different quote attacks are different types of sound uh and they happen in completely different uh circumstances wait what do you mean that the attacks are different kinds of sounds? So one person describes it as at first they think it's cicadas in their backyard. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:47 And then they have another diplomat over and he's like, yeah, I guess those are cicadas. And the other diplomat's like, those are no cicadas. They're too mechanical sounding. They actually recorded the sound and sent it to an insect expert. He was like, yeah, it's probably cicadas. So they were like, that's so mysterious. These yeah it's probably cicadas but uh so they were like that's so mysterious these cicadas aren't cicadas uh but you know cicadas are like kind of high-pitched like sort of screeching sounds um a lot of the other sounds have been described as the sound
Starting point is 00:39:19 of like a subwoofer at a concert where it like makes your chest sort of vibrate a little bit. And the Canadian diplomats, it spread to the Canadian diplomats. They described it as like a twanging metal sheet, which are all different sounds. These two diplomats who supposedly heard it in their backyard and were attacked in their backyard by this sound. You know, that was one circumstance. heard it in their backyard and were attacked in their backyard by this sound. You know, that was one circumstance. Another guy claims he was in a hotel when he, like, woke up and the beam of sound was, like, being fired into his ears and, like, he had to, like, move to get away from it. So they say it's like a fire hose of noise that, like, you can, like, get away from by just moving your head in some circumstances which is weird uh and when you hear like how the information spread it's like those people who had the cicada experience heard from another guy who was like yeah i was just attacked by sound
Starting point is 00:40:18 and so uh then they were that made them suspicious that this cicada sound was a noise attack from like the Russians or the Cubans. And then that like rumor starts spreading around the office and they get like this mass panic on their hands. It just it has all the hallmarks of a mass hysteria. But I do think that I don't think people are just completely making up the fact that there are like weird sounds that they're hearing. And so the New York Times just released this story. They didn't mention the Cuba story, but it was about this thing called the Windsor Hum, which is a mysterious sound that's causing weird health effects in people in Windsor, Canada, right across the river from Detroit. And the way that they describe the sound is all very similar. They call it a fire hose of noise again, like almost identical.
Starting point is 00:41:14 They say it sounds like when you're driving a car and the back window is open. You know that like, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's dubstep. Yeah, dubstep. Exactly. You know when dubstep yeah dubstep exactly you're busting that skrillex like you know when dubstep's about to drop uh and so it it just like sounds like it's basically the same thing and uh at cracked we wrote about this uh stuff called infrasound that they've found uh is usually
Starting point is 00:41:40 the explanation for ghost sightings and people like thinking something is haunted is you basically put a receiver in those places where people are like yeah i'm just overtaken by a feeling of dread and i like start seeing dark figures or whatever uh and there's usually a 18 hertz uh it's like a lower than the human ear can actually hear a sound wave thing going on uh and so i'm not i'm not saying like that's necessarily what's going on here but it feels like they're you know sound does weird things and it goes in like weird directions and in the case of this windsor hum like nobody can tell like where it's coming from but it's like like it'll hit one house on a block and then not the house next door and it'll like start and stop at weird times and like nobody
Starting point is 00:42:32 can really tell what's going on it just sounds like it's basically the same thing as the havana thing and the only difference is that in havana the diplomats think they're being attacked by like a foreign government what's the explanation for the windsor home though nobody can tell i mean they think it might be this factory that's like in detroit and that like detroit is just like sending the sound towards windsor because like fuck you yeah because they don't have to deal with it they don't want to have to deal with it but um yeah there's no like nobody can totally find where it's coming from because it's not really perceptible to the naked ear like and you almost like feel it in your chest
Starting point is 00:43:14 more than anything um that sounds like a nightmare yeah it does sound really uncomfortable and i so like when i say that the diplomats are suffering from mass hysteria, I don't think they're just completely making up that they're like experiencing something weird. But I just don't think it's a targeted attack by an enemy nation. And in fact, like all the international relations, like experts and diplomats and stuff are like, this makes no sense. Like, no, Cuba has no reason to do this. Russia has no reason to do this. Like, it doesn't. And there's like, there's no technology that would explain. There's no technology to do that. Right. Weren't they saying that like some of the people who were in Havana, like did have some kind of like physical, like their brain,
Starting point is 00:43:57 was it changed in some way? Yeah. The first guy who basically kicked it off because he was like, yeah, I had a loud sound and he recorded it and it did sound like the cicadas that the people had heard in their backyard uh he had like physical like damage to the small bones inside his ear and so they were like yeah that there must be some attack going on here but another doctor who examined said that it could be previous injuries. It could be a lot of the things that they're complaining about could be caused by viral infections and stuff. So don't go to Windsor, Canada, and don't go to Havana. I guess.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Basically, I guess. I want to go to Havana. Yeah, I guess. Basically, I guess. I want to go to Havana. Find out. Yeah, this has been, since the beginning of the show, your life's passion is to figure out this embassy hum. Right. And I feel like, yeah, the only way we can really get to the bottom of this, Jack, is you go down there and you see for yourself, hear it for yourself. Walking around Havana with one of those little dish. Like a parabolic microphone. Yeah, parabolic. yeah what am i hearing what am i hearing right here
Starting point is 00:45:08 this reminds me of like when i went to my friend's parents house their cable box had this like high pitch like right sound and they could not hear it and it drove us crazy like i couldn't be in their living room and that's where they spent most of their time when you say us it was like me and my friend like who are we were like at that time probably like in our mid-20s. So our ears were, you know, nice and fresh. Right. But like it was killing us. And like they were like, we don't really, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:45:34 Because they probably lost those frequencies. Yeah. In their hearing range. Yeah. No, we actually did a test in the studio back when we were at the WeWork. Oh, yeah. Wasn't it with Lacey yeah it was lacy was in and uh lacy i think was the only one who heard it or maybe you heard i did not hear it yeah miles
Starting point is 00:45:52 and i had too many live shows yeah we'd we'd been to through too many loud sounds there but lacy mosley uh she had the ear daily zeitgeist i think if people yeah it could be an age thing and just i don't know, look, guys just don't get caught up in the mass hysteria you know what I mean? I mean, you're going to get caught up, just so you know whether you try or not little by little we're all getting taken down
Starting point is 00:46:16 because the Trump administration wants to do the opposite of diplomacy in all cases and wants to believe that there's like a hostile power trying to take them out they have responded to this by being like yeah we have to like be hostile towards cuba don't believe they're trying to attack us uh so it's just potentially the dumbest thing a very dumb administration has done is like responded to weird sounds by being like fuck
Starting point is 00:46:46 you you want to fight us like what she was like what are you talking about man like we don't you're making up technology in the immediate aftermath of like a great diplomatic breakthrough they come in they're like what the fuck yeah did you just touch me like no man what are you talking about you fucking tripping man fuck you up oh anyway i. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered.

Starting point is 00:51:19 We have the very good news that the U.S. women's hockey team has won gold. Woo! Who'd they beat? Who'd they beat? Canada. Oh, Canada. Oh, shit. Just dunking on Canada. Our good friends to the north. And Canada. Oh, Canada. Oh, shit. Just dunking on Canada. Our good friends to the north.
Starting point is 00:51:26 And Canada's won, like, what, the last three or four years? They won gold. Oh, have they? Is Canada good at hockey? I don't know. I feel the U.S. is the greatest team that ever existed in Canada sports. Yeah. I mean, it's the same as basketball.
Starting point is 00:51:38 It's like America's... It's America's sport. Right. Anyways, but, hey, maybe Canada... You know how they have that small town where the- Oh, shit. Sorry, I'm just trolling. It's not a village.
Starting point is 00:51:51 It's Ottawa, and it's the capital. Because I called their capital city a small town. A town, yeah. It's all love. It's Ottawa. Their capital city's river freezes over, and they all ice skate to work. And it's a beautiful, magical land. And we just beat you in women's hockey. Jack, they're going to remember that when you are fleeing with your family to immigrate to Canada.
Starting point is 00:52:15 They're going to be like, oh, wait, Jack O'Brien? Hold on. Let's pull up that ep. Yeah. You got some fucked up takes on this. Get the fuck back in California, you sick piece of shit. Anyway. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:25 But that happened. But also, let's really talk sick piece of shit. Anyway. Yes. But that happened. But also, let's really talk about the real news. Okay. Right. Peeps. You like Peeps? I don't mind them. I wouldn't go out of my way to find them, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah. I'll pop them in my mouth. I feel like for any American person around Easter time, those just grotesque things pop up. Yeah. And they've announced like a bunch of new flavors, which for starters, I don't like Peeps at all. Same as candy corn. I try it every year or like every however often I'm around. I'm like, oh, maybe it'll be different flavor this year.
Starting point is 00:52:52 It's just shitty. But they have new flavors. Now, hold on to your butts because they have Neapolitan flavor. They have sour cherry, pancakes and syrup. Sour cherry might actually be good. Sour cherry, pancakes and syrup. Sour cherry might actually be good. My problem with it is just that it's so dull pouring like white sugar into your mouth.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Like it's just like the taste of sugar and nothing else. So if you give me a little sour, you give me a little something, I might be into it. They also have orange sherbet, lemon sherbet, and three mystery flavors. You know that's like matcha green tea yeah you think so but that would be insane if peeps were like oh like now we have green tea we're woke yeah i think they are they're gonna be like woke peeps a new thing i feel like yeah i just can't marshmallows in general don't really appeal to me uh unless it's my hot cocoa. Hot cocoa.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Yeah. I was just going to say when you were like, no marshmallows, I was like, this guy's never had hot cocoa. Oh, yes. Especially the Swiss Miss with it already mixed in for the lazy people. So good. So good. But again. Or Cool Whip.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Just throw a whole bunch of Cool Whip on that shit. Oh, my God. Sorry. Whoa. That's wild. I love hot cocoa. Oh, wow. Did you have the S'mores Girl Scout cookies? I did. They're really good. I haven that's wild. I love hot cocoa. Oh, wow. Did you have the s'mores Girl Scout cookies?
Starting point is 00:54:06 I did. They're really good. I haven't had those. They are chemically delicious. They are. They're very. They're chemically delicious. It's like they found a way to add more sugar to Girl Scout cookies.
Starting point is 00:54:18 They jammed it in there, and it's the sweetest cookie they've released yet, but I like it a lot. It's pretty wild. I was sort of surprised. At first, but I like it a lot. It's pretty wild. I was sort of surprised at first. I was like, this tastes like fake everything. Right. And then like any good American person, you eat seven more straight, one after the other, and then you just get into the motion of eating them continually, and then I devoured an entire box. And you woke up on your couch three days later.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Yeah. Yes, exactly. Blacked out with a bunch of boxes around me. But yeah, so Peeps, I don't know if people like them. I just feel like it's a thing that people either like or just fucking hate and avoid completely. You know what's really fun is looking at a peep and then scraping off its little chocolate eyes.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Damn. Wow. So how were- And just eating the eggs. How was Easter for you? It was fun. It was great. Did you celebrate Easter?
Starting point is 00:55:05 I don't know. I I was Easter for you. It was fun. It was great. Did you celebrate Easter? I don't know. I never really celebrated any holidays. I would just hang out and eat. Right, right, right. Yeah, I didn't do anything like – I don't know. What do regular people do for Easter? Do they go to church? I mean my grandparents who were born again, praise Christ, they always wanted to do Easter stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:23 So I always did Easter egg hunts as a kid. And I remember one year I really asked my grandparents to never buy Peeps again because they were just so upsetting. And they're like, what do you like? I only eat truffle chocolates, Grandma, because I need pure sugar all the time. I don't need marshmallows. It's a waste. Yeah, chocolate over marshmallows any day, though, for sure.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Thank you. Especially Peeps. Like Peeps aren't even good marshmallows. Well, they have chocolate-covered ones too now. now oh i don't know if that changes anything for you oh your face really changed you're like yeah i was like well maybe yeah no i mean i'm trying not to eat too many processed things like peeps is so processed so i'm trying to you know like peeps is beyond process yeah i'm trying to cut back that stuff so um so just taking a quick trip through current google trends uh brendan fraser has explained where he's been for the past decade uh turns out he both destroyed his body doing
Starting point is 00:56:16 movie stunts and was groped by the ex-president of the golden Globes, President Philip Burke, sexually assaulted him in the summer of 2003.
