Honestly, I think everyone moved on instantly.
What do you think the new flick?
Because I just saw him post something about how his daughter showed him about the moons.
And he's like, man, my daughter's blessed me with all this knowledge about the solar system.
Dude, every recently canceled man immediately starts being like, my daughter.
And you're like, come on.
Fuck off.
Or as we'll talk about later today, some people start off talking about their daughter and
end up canceling.
Oh, we're going there.
Overrated Jeremy Renner singing career, underrated his house flipping career, I've always said.
We're thrilled to be joined in studio also by Sonny.
Sonny is here.
The knife.
Sonny is here. He knife. Sonny is here.
He's currently sucking himself off.
All right, dog.
All right, dog.
No ribs removed either.
No.
No, he just, that's his new thing.
All day.
That's a power move.
He hasn't been in here since he chewed that wire.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I wasn't going to remind you guys until we had started.
No, he's mellowed remind you guys until we had started. He's
mellowed out. He looks nice and relaxed.
He's just kind of, he's been depressed
since Beto dropped out of the race.
It's been
a hard week for him.
Mr. Skateboard.
He's a men's rights dog, right?
He's MRA, but also is into Beto?
Well, he's MRA, but he's also a
centrist.
He can't resist a male centrist. Right. Right.
Very cool. He can't resist a male centrist.
And not into the Second Amendment either.
No.
From his,
if he's into Beto.
No,
he's not,
no,
but it's because he's pro-knife.
Right.
What Beto isn't against
and that's the loophole
that lets him love Beto
is Beto never said,
I don't like knives.
That's true.
Do you just leave Sonny at home
with QVC,
like the knife show on?
Just leave him,
I will leave him with this thing called Dog TV on.
Okay, I've seen that.
You've seen Dog TV?
I saw an ad for it.
I'm like, who is paying money?
Isn't there a thing where isn't?
I don't do the paid subscription.
Okay, this is a YouTube channel?
Right.
But the problem of not paying is it turns off after two hours and then it just goes
to another YouTube video.
So he's always watching more fucked up stuff.
That's how he ends up getting red-pilled.
That's how he always. That's how he ends up getting red-pilled.
That's how he always... That's how he got his men's rights.
Oh, what's starting to...
That's how...
Yeah, you just come back and you're like, wait.
You're watching Sebastian Molyneux videos or whatever that's his name.
Stefan.
Stefan, yeah.
I leave Sebastian Maniscalco on.
I come back as Stefan Molyneux.
It's fucked up.
There you go.
And he's like, yeah.
Can't avoid it.
It's really fucked up what's going on with Western European civilization,
huh?
And somebody just puts his paw on the screen.
Right.
As like a Hitler salute?
Just as a showing of affection.
Oh, okay, got it, got it.
He's like, this is the only guy that I understand.
Like somebody with talking to somebody on the phone in prison.
Yeah, exactly.
Through the glass sort of salute.
Well, he's in a prison of his own gender.
Yeah, that's true.
It's only a concept.
Well, hey, Jamie, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about, such
as the president's attempt to have Bill Barr bail him out with another pro-Trump press
conference, another presser that put a positive spin on things for him.
We're going to look at some new transcripts that were released from the closed-door hearings
and just have a look at the Republicans' emerging strategy in face of all this evidence.
We are going to talk about Trump supporters and how they just feel about his uh
his inability just how they feel his leadership how they feel about him yeah we're gonna talk
about bill gates and his feelings on politics uh i was i was shocked when he came out with a not cool take. No.
Yeah.
That new docuseries about him is like.
Is it the one on Netflix?
Yeah.
It's just like Bill Gates actually super nice.
Right.
Is I believe the title.
Dude, Bill Gates, trillionaire.
Does it talk about how he was friends with Jeffrey Epstein and started their friendship their friendship after yeah but there's a light music bit out okay so a lot of acoustic guitar yeah
pharmaceutical ad uh very cool very cool uh we're gonna talk about ti and his just really good ti
father of the year uh we're gonna talk about uh some beverage updates and james harden's
performance as it relates to strip clubs and uh nba games all of that and plenty more but first
jamie what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are oh uh last
night so this is sunny adjacent uh why does my dog love period blood? I knew that was a thing.
Yeah.
Right?
But I don't know.
Like, Sonny's recently been, I don't know.
It concerns me where the intersection of natural instinct
and these videos he's been watching intersect
because he's literally destroyed three pairs of my pants.
Like, he just gets upset.
Yeah.
And so I have him with me today because he needs to be near my blood or he'll die.
Or he'll die.
Like your leeches.
It's weird.
Like an extension.
Yeah.
What's with your blood-dependent pets?
Animals love my blood.
I don't know.
But it's true.
Whenever I'm menstruating, Sonny's like-
Here she goes.
Oh, yeah.
He's like, the slut's at it again.
And then he'll stay by me.
He's not as nice to my boyfriend.
Oh, really?
It's weird.
Yeah, he acts really weird.
And then if I leave him home alone, he'll eat the crotch out of my pants.
Yeah.
Wow.
He does.
Yeah.
So what were the answers we got?
Well, the problem, the thing that sucks is all the answers i i was hoping for like solutions but i just found confirmations
they were just like yeah it's like that yeah dogs are horny for you you know and is it that or like
their noses are sensitive to like maybe some hormones or something and that's probably what
it is i guess and this didn't make me feel good either. First of all, most of the articles just boiled down to,
yeah, well, it smells fucking weird,
and so that's why they like it.
And you're like, well, that feels terrible.
Signed, Concerned Dad.
But I guess it's the same vibe, like, not vibe,
the same olfactory family.
The same as sniffing a dog's ass so a menstruating woman is
uh there's like a lot of information in there yeah it's it's sunny and which makes sense he's
he loves data yeah he's always looking for logic fucking facts and logic and so he basically i
thought he was horny it turns out he's just researching for the debate for debate yes
uh so yeah i've just been bringing him because i'm just like he turns out he's just researching for the debate for debate yeah uh so yeah i've just been
bringing him because i'm just like he's but he's devastating my pants yeah so what do you and if
you were to leave him home and you had to like prepare your space you would have to just basically
hide all your clothing essentially or put it so high up that yeah yeah shirts are safe shirts are
fine pants he just yeah anything from the netherworld. Anything. He's like looking for the information and it's not there.
And so he retaliates, which is what he does with, you know, all things.
Well, you know what they say.
When you start feeling powerless, you destroy.
And then he starts texting.
He's like.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
He's like, oh, is your refrigerator running?
Suck me off.
What is that? What's something you think is underrated uh underrated is uh getting dolled
up and going to bucca di beppo with your friend oh hell yeah go on it's well it's i start to think
about it my friend cory and i for the past three like uh holiday seasons have like chosen a day
uh the first time it was on christmas but then i think that that was too far and we bummed everyone Three holiday seasons have chosen a day.
The first time it was on Christmas, but then I think that that was too far and we bummed everyone out.
But we'll dress up and we'll wear Christmas hats.
I had a full cone tree on once.
We'll just go to Bucca.
There was one year that we both didn't.
Our nipples were visible at Puka to Bethlehem.
Wait, because you were wearing, what were you wearing?
Sheer top, no bra.
Was it at least like a festive sheer top?
Or you just were like, fuck it, we're going to bring the titties out.
It was like a sheer leotard and then like Christmas leggings.
But we were just like, you know, let's push the envelope this year.
Let's push the envelope. N. Let's push the envelope.
Nips out at the Bucca.
And we have the best time every year.
We go to the Bucca di Beppo at, where is it?
CityWalk?
Not CityWalk.
That's a good one.
No, we go to the one at the Grove that's across the street from American Girl Cafe.
That's a crazy one.
You can't have your nips out there.
Speaking of dolled up.
Right, right.
So you go in, you browse,
then you meet your friend in the highest heels you have
at Bucca di Beppa.
You split one glass of wine.

I made a scene once
because the calamari order

gigantic martini glass like't come in the gigantic
martini glass like it is in the fucking menu pick.
And I was like, excuse me, sir.
I believe this was supposed to come in oversized martini glass.
And they're like, actually, that's only for the family style size.
And it was so embarrassing to get told that.
I was like, uh, all right.
It's for people with families.
I was like, and I think your date hopped in a cab outside.
Yeah, by the way.
She jumped off the Bucca to balcony.

Your DJ Daniel.
My boyfriend is also really into,
he listens to Doughboys in the shower.
It's like, relax.
My Google Translate says,
Buka de Beppo means Beppo hole.
Beppo hole?
Oh, yeah.
Roughly translates to Joe's hole.
Used to be a very different establishment.
We might want to pivot to food, Joe.
It's like, nah, man.
People like this glory hole business.
Yeah, you should come this year.
We'll make a whole thing of it.
What's something that is underrated?
Oh, my God. What's something that is underrated? Oh, my God.
What's something that's overrated?
Hold on.
Bucca, which literally means whore pit, can be a dialectal word in Tuscany for basement or cellar.
Wow.
With that, I must say that with one trip to Bucca di Beppo, even if you don't have the mileage to get yourself to Italy, take your family and enjoy a night at buca di beppo
the tuscany of the mall to joe's asshole
to joe's asshole
uh where were we something that is overrated oh i i feel is, this is like a self-own.
Overrated is being caught alone in public and then lying about it.
Oh, yeah.
I favorited that tweet of yours.
You just got to own it.
You just got to own it.
I like to go places by myself.
I had my first day off in forever on Sunday.
I was like, you take the dog. I'm going
to go see. It's the Lord's Day. Yeah, I'm going to go on a couple roller coasters at Universal,
and then I'm going to see two movies. And it was a great, it was a glorious day.
That sounds wonderful.
It was such a nice day. But then the second I got to Universal, I got spotted by you know someone that i know who works there and he was and i like really
tensed up and he's like jane good to see you i was like i'm meeting five people
and he's like oh okay and then he saw me he saw me it was it sucked i i was having a great time
i went to animal actors later right he saw me in line for Minions.
You did some writing, you said, in the Harry Potter section?
I did some.
Or you do sometimes, if people are in the area,
you might catch you at your favorite writing spot.
Yeah, you might see me in the back of the Harry Potter restaurant
eating Harry Potter potatoes.
What are Harry Potter potatoes?
Potatoes that cost $12.
Are they mashed?
They're just mashed potatoes.
It's the most expensive potatoes
in the entire fucking world.
It really hurts my feelings,
but you're paying for the atmosphere.
But do you like them?
Right.
But I'm guessing for you,
you look at that menu like,
you know what?
I'm going to go with the $12 potatoes again.
Yeah.
Not like other,
oh shit,
I want to try them.
There's other options.
It's like a weirdly,
I don't know.
They shouldn't have gone with
let's make English food there
because English food sucks. Yeah. Well, when done right. Like a weirdly, I don't know. They shouldn't have gone with like, let's make English food there because English food
sucks.
Yeah.
Well, when done right.
Like a proper, I love like pies, like British pies, like meat pies.
They have those there.
What's the music sting for when Miles starts talking about British food?
I don't know.
We'll have to think.
We'll find some chamber music.
Oh, nice.
But yeah, I got spotted in line at Minions.
By the same person.
By the same guy.
And you were still
by yourself.
Did you make an explanation
or was it just
one of those eyes
where you catch eyes?
He kept walking, man.
He kept walking.
I like opened my mouth
to say something
and he was like,
it's too late.
You're like,
no, they died.
You've said enough, Jamie.
It sucks too
because he is like,
he's a lot younger than me.
He's like 19.
And he's just like walked away.
He's so nice.
And he just walked away with his braces.
And he's like, I can't fucking believe it.
I can't believe what a fucking loser you are.
I'm a fucking liar.
Have you ever seen a TV show?
You're supposed to just kiss some dude who's next to you.
And be like, oh, it's my boyfriend.
And that's how we meet.
Yeah, exactly.
Get off me, lady.
Just go with it, okay?
I just stayed in line for Minions and, you know, Minions Ride sucks.
Does it?
I don't know why I was doing it.
Yeah, I have like story notes for the Minions Ride.
All right, let's hear it.
I feel like it's too plot heavy.
Oh, okay.
There's too much going on.
There's an adoption narrative in the Minions Ride. In right, let's hear it. I feel like it's too plot heavy. Oh, okay. There's too much going on. There's an adoption narrative
in the Minions ride.
In a ride?
Yeah.
No.
An adoption narrative?
The premise of-
Well, I guess that is the plot.
What's the journey you take?
Give me the log line of the ride.
It's too much.
It's two different things.
First of all,
the audience is being turned into Minions.
That's fun.
That should just be a ride.
That's a blast.
But there's a second plot line
where the three little
girls that Gru adopted
has forgotten, or it seems like
he's forgotten their adoption anniversary
and they're really upset.
That's the subplot.
At the end of the ride,
Gru comes out and is like, just kidding, I didn't
forget. Here's a balloon.
Ride over. Not to spoil it.
That was a good group. And they're like, here's a balloon. Here's a balloon. And then that's it. Ride over. Not to spoil it. That was a good group. And they're like, yeah.
Here's a balloon.
Here's a balloon.
Yeah.
Anyways, if you're-
Just give me minions, baby.
If you're alone in public, just own it.
People will normally be like, hey, that's cool.
I love seeing movies by myself.
Wait, what two movies did you see?
You saw them back to back?
I saw them back to back.
I saw Parasite, Jojo Rabbit.
Damn. Oh, shit. It was a to back saw Parasite Jojo Rabbit damn oh shit
it was a good double feature
what's Jojo Rabbit
Jojo Rabbit's the new
Taika movie
oh
where Hitler's the best friend
where he plays Hitler
it was pretty good
I liked it
there was
my friend went to go see it
and apparently
there was like
an English guy
like an older English guy
who
maybe
had like
memory problems, but
as he was watching the film, kept going,
that bastard!
Because when Hitler would come on the screen,
and then the woman
with him was like, no, honey, it's just a film.
It's just a film. And he's like, do they know
what he bloody did? Oh, really?
Yeah, and took it as a thing.
But it became a thing every time
he emerged.
It would be like, I can't believe this.
That's why you gotta go to the movies.
That's like when I went to see Judy
and one person in the audience didn't know she died.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
What is this?
But yeah, no.
Parasite was like the best movie I've seen all year.
I loved it so much.
And Jojo Rabbit, pretty good.
Boom.
Yeah.
Finally, what is a myth?
What some of the people think is true, you know, to be false?
I've been thinking about this lately.
The myth that saying yes to everything is a good thing for you in your life.
I feel like I used to be told that a lot.
When you're starting out doing any job, they're like i like i used to be told that a lot you know like when you're starting
out doing any job they're like just say yes to everything and like you and you'll be and and
that's uh i think verifiably false as someone who would say yes to everything is it doesn't make you
happy no it makes you it makes you very tired and then you end up doing a lot of shit that later
you're just like oh man i don't stand by this at all like there's so yeah i i've just been thinking about that uh
i don't know i think it's better i think you i think it's better to apply it to situations where
you're going out of your comfort zone right that's i think the benefit of saying yes to things like
that's where i try and work on it where normally i don't know if i want to fucking do that but
rather than like presuming to know what the outcome is going to be like that's where I try and work on it where normally I don't know if I want to fucking do that but rather than like presuming to know what the outcome is gonna be like you know
what let me stimulate myself a little bit by doing something I'm not used to versus like hey man can
you be like a voice actor in this like kind of racist like cartoon I'm doing yeah I'm starting
out okay sure why not like well you know TB. You don't want anyone to look anything up.
But I get that, especially when you're performing, though, too.
And then you start overextending yourself.
Yeah, like when I was like, with performing stuff, they're like, oh, you know, do you want to travel four hours to go to my house to do stand-up for my family for free, it could be
good for you. And I'm like,
you know, where's the line?
I guess, yeah, it's like if you're challenging yourself.
Yeah. You didn't say yes to that, did you?
No, but I can close.
I've done a lot of
stupid stuff. She's like, actually, I have to go to
Bucca di Beppo. I gotta go back.
Really fancy thing I have to go to. But like, stuff
like that, yeah, I guess it's like you got to contextualize it of like, could this be a learning experience
or at least a good story?
I don't know.
Yeah.
But for the most part, I'm like, damn, I'm tired.
Imagine how much time I would get back if I didn't just say yes to every random fucking thing.
Just say your manager won't let you.
Your manager says it's not a good use of your time.
They'll be like, you know, my man.
She put me in my panic room. As much as I would love to. love to you know when we met i was kind of down here at this level
where you're at but you know now i'm up here so you know the deal's kind of got to be up here
where i'm at now you know yeah that's a good way to put it as magic johnson says make people feel
bad no i like no it's not like i don't know maybe that's a terrible myth maybe i'm a bad person
no no no no no that's a great myth. Maybe I'm a bad person. No, no, no, no, no. That's a great myth. And you are a bad person.
Confirmed.
Oh,
isn't there a Jim Carrey movie about?
Yeah.
Yes,
man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that was where you got that from the idea that you should say yes to
everything.
Listen,
not only haunted by a family guy character,
but I saw yes,
man.
I saw yes,
man in theaters.
You did.
Yeah.
Sorry, I just killed the energy in the room.
But yes, I did see Yes Man in theaters.
I clutched my invisible pearls.
Who is his love interest in that movie?
I remember, is it Jennifer Aniston again?
Oh, no.
Dude, have you guys watched The Morning Show yet?
No.
No, I heard it's so bad, it's good.
It's a wild watch.
They're just like, what if all sex criminals were innocent?
Were likable.
Really?
Not like that, but he's like, I wasn't that bad.
And then you have to see Steve Carell's character not learn how to better himself, but learn how to use a coffee machine on his own.
I'm going to watch it because the reviews have been so bizarre.
Like, there are people being like,
it's fucking terrible.
Some people are like,
how can something so terrible be so watchable?
Then there are other people who are like,
it's bad?
No one knows what to do with it.
Steve Carell, like, basically plays Matt Lauer.
Yeah, but like,
what if Matt Lauer was not so bad?
Right.
Also, the love interest in Yes Man?
Very cool.
Zooey Deschannel.
Zooey.
Oh, yeah.
That's probably why I saw it.
That was my peak wanting bangs like that.
Oh, yep.
Yep.
Wait.
Jim Carrey's love interest?
Love interest?
Love interest.
Is Zooey Deschanel?
Yeah.
That seems...
I mean, even for Hollywood, that's a big leap.
How big is it?
That's an 18-year age difference, friends.
You know?
Yeah.
You know, you love to see it.
Gotta love to see it.
You love to see it.
But do you guys believe Keanu Reeves dating someone only nine years younger than him?
Man, I hope they're so happy.
Yeah.
I have a feeling.
I mean, he seems so haunted. I think only an artist could love him. Man, I hope they're so happy. Yeah. I have a feeling. I mean, he seems so haunted.
I think only an artist could love him.
Really?
I hope that they just paint portraits of each other.
Yeah.
But she never shows him the portrait she's painting of him.
It's like just really fucked up.
I hope they do tantric painting.
Oh, God.
Can you imagine if she's straddling him?
They're both facing opposite directions,
painting on easels over the other's back.
I would see that movie.
Yes.
I would see that movie.
Make it happen, Kiana.
It's called Frida.
All right, we're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back.
Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk.
This show is la plática like you've never heard it before.
We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities.
This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z.
We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television.
We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz.
I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self.
I was on birth control.
I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you.
We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala,
and you might recognize us from our flagship
podcast, Locatora Radio.
We're so excited for you to hear our
brand new podcast, Señora
Sex Ed. Listen to Señora
Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast. When you think
of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre.
It doesn't get more Mexican than this.
Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment.
Lucha libre is a type of storytelling.
It's a dance.
It's tradition.
It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask,
a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish
about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre.
And I'm your host, Santos Escobar,
the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar.
Santos!
Santos!
Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport
from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture.
We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring.
This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask.
Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you stream podcasts.
I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast.
As the U.S. elections approach,
it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast,
I'll share what the science really shows,
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics,
and that we need to do better and that we can do better.
With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki.
It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.
We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with,
are more generous than we assume.
My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is
that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each
other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever mtv's official challenge podcast is back for another season that's right the challenge is
about to embark on its monumental 40th season y'all and we are coming along for the ride
that would be me devin simone and then there's me devon ro. And we're here to take you behind the scenes of, drumroll please.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The Challenge 40, Battle of the Eras.
Yes.
Each week, cast members will be joining us to spill all of the tea on the relentless challenges,

So join us every week as we break down episodes of the Challenge 40 Battle of the Eras.
Listen to MTV's official challenge podcast on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back. And it's time to check in with the impeachment inquiry girl i'm talking about impeaching this group uh so it's been revealed by somebody in the know
a uh as president trump uh is want to point out it's's an anonymous source, so we can't trust anything they're saying. Totally anonymous.
But they were talking about how the president
was trying to lean on Bill Barr
to have a press conference
and just say no laws were broken.
No harm, no foul.
Yeah, perfect.
I think literally that was,
he has such a, you know,
we all know how his brain works.
If you do a press conference, it's true.
Because that's what he wanted President Zelensky in Ukraine to do.
He wanted it to be, I think, on Fareed Zakaria's show or something on CNN specific.
There's something very specific on how they wanted this thing announced.
But with Bill Barr, yeah, basically saying no laws were broken and there's no need to investigate.
no laws were broken and there's no there's no need to investigate uh but ultimately bill barr declined which i'm very surprised because he is usually in a state of like perpetually taking a
shit on the constitution right but so i guess from i guess it says something uh and by something i
mean nothing by the fact that he distanced himself from the president here but it's still a bit of a
surprise because i thought bill barr was all in for the fuckery.
Right.
And Bill Barr was even part of the phone conversation.
He was like, you can speak to Rudy Giuliani and Bill Barr will give you a call.
Right.
And then even like Bill Barr was maybe complicit in the whole thing.
Well, he's even on that wild goose chase trying to lean on other governments to try and be like,
can you look at the origins of the Russian investigation?
Because I really need a report.
Because ultimately, I think the word is
that he's working on a counter report
to try and rebut the entire impeachment inquiry.
Right. So maybe he's
just saving his goodwill
to lie through another
bogus memo or whatever.
Yeah, maybe he's just like, I don't
understand why he would back down on
anything at this point because it's already gone.
He can't scale it back at this point.
But I just like the Trump response was because it came out of the Washington Post.
The story was a fake Washington Post con job with an anonymous source that doesn't exist.
Just read the transcript.
Why is transcript capitalized?
The Justice Department already ruled that the call was good.
We don't have freedom of the press. Already ruled? And then what was that part good we don't have freedom of the press
already ruled and then what was that part we don't have freedom of the press yeah i think you do
that's why they're reporting this shit about you right like what the fuck does that mean they should
be free to do what i say that i need them to do and only we don't have that freedom so therefore
the justice department rules but i don't know where they
buy t-shirts buy merch thank you please buy this trump gift wrap there uh he keeps saying that he
wants to read the transcript on tv to the people because then they'll see but what it's not a good
first of all it's not a transcript second of all it's not good for him good for you but it's for you good for you
good for you tv yeah is the point can you but oh could you imagine how gaudy that set is oh yeah
marble fireplace shooting gold out of it fucking table read that's so i mean haven't they been
doing those around like they've been doing like like reading readings of the muller report yeah
that's really sad.
That's just the creepiest shit to me.
Wasn't there a celebrity reading? There was, yeah, where they're like,
where are the stars?
And we're like, no one wants this,
but then they sell out, so people do.
Well, because there's a very specific part
of Democratic supporters who are just kind of like
only read headlines and are kind of divorced
from what it means.
Yeah, this will be great, man. I'd love fucking you know rob schneider play the part of robert muller
people love celebrities and they love celebrities to tell them what to think and to pwn the president
yeah um let's talk about other pwnage uh of the president um so bill tay Taylor. So we got a chunk of an actual transcript this time of the closed door hearings testimony that various people were giving to Congress over the past couple weeks.
And we got a chunk of Bill Taylor's testimony that is about as clear as it can get.
It's fucking credit to the Democrats for the way they're questioning a lot of these witnesses.
First of all, if you look, when you read these transcripts, it's clear that there are Republicans
there and they are asking questions. So this idea that they're completely cut out of the process is
just patently false. And you can read it for yourself. They're just terrible with their time.
And the other half, there are people who just don't even go to the hearings
because I think they don't even want to like taint their own brains with the truth.
So this line of questioning is just so specific, but painful.
It just goes question.
And when you say that, this was the first time I heard that the security assistants,
not just the White House meeting, was conditioned on the investigation.
When you talk about conditioned, did you mean that if they didn't do this, the investigations,
they weren't going to get that, the meeting and the military assistance?
That was my clear understanding.
Security assistance money would not come until the president of Ukraine committed to pursue the investigation.
until the president of Ukraine committed to pursue the investigation.
So if they don't do this, they are not going to get that, was your understanding?
Yes, sir.
Are you aware that quid pro quo literally means this for that?
I am.
That's just like so...
Because they really do have to... It has to be like a sesame street special to really try and fucking hammer this through and i think i don't know i think the language is
getting lost with quid pro quo versus like extorting another government um with like
military aid well guys you're not gonna believe this because i heard the editor of the national
review the conservative outlet talking on one of the impeachment podcasts the National Review, the conservative outlet, talking on one of the
impeachment podcasts. I think it was the WNYC one a couple of days ago. And he was talking about how
none of this matters. Yes, there was quid pro quo, but it's not enough to remove him from office.
Sure, it makes him a little bit uncomfortable, but if they remove him from office, they'd be subverting the will of the American people right before an election.
No, that's not how that works.
Oh, Sean Spicer clubbed the knee of one of his competitors on Dancing with the Stars.
Rather than the enforcement mechanisms removing him, let's let the viewers decide if Sean Spicer should stay.
Like, that's fucking absurd.
He is trying to cheat at the election that you are talking about.
That's what he's doing.
What did the NPR host say?
The NPR dude didn't say that.
I was like, what the fuck are you doing?
Was he just like, oh, okay, chill, chill.
No, no, I mean, he was pushing back, but he just wasn't making that central point that we keep bringing up.
That they're trying to cheat at the election so this needs to be
solved before the election the election is not just the well let's see what the people think
because they're cheating at that right well right it's never going to be reflective of what the
people actually think right well you know fuck it national security who gives a fuck yeah i think
sunny should be allowed to vote well hot take yeah whoa i don't know if i'd love his politics but his politics wow all right i'm gonna go to jail bye
go to jail uh all right well speaking of letting the people's will reign
trump basically can't do anything wrong Is what we've learned
He can't possibly piss off his followers
There's apparently his base
And then there's his fucking base
Because 62%
Of the people who approve
Of his job
The job that the president is doing
Say they can't think of anything
He could do that would cause him
To lose their support Can't think of anything he could do that would cause him to lose their support.
Can't think of anything.
I mean, that he hasn't done already.
What if he shot your mom in the face?
Can't think of that.
It's for the greater good.
She must have done something.
Right.
She probably deserved it.
Well, this is like when you realize, man,
we're fully crossing the Rubicon now of people who like there's no i mean we've known there's been no such thing as objectivity for some
of these people right like to this point you really see like what the stakes are for some of
these other people where they're like i don't care what he's doing because what his presidency
represents which is like the status quo of like white supremacy misogyny whatever right every
phobia like i I need that.
Yeah.
That has to still be in place.
I think that and I'm sure this is like somehow connected to like in the past three years of people who voted for Trump and then regretted it.
They've pretty much all at this point, like if you haven't arrived at that conclusion already and like sort of started to move towards voting democratic then it's like are you going to
at this point yeah i feel like the stands are all that's left for yeah and there's still a lot of
them and it's why every time he does something terrible or like somebody's like yeah he sexually
assaulted me or you know any of these things and the media freaks out about it uh his approval
rating doesn't go down because him making the media freak out about things
is part of the reason they love him.
It's just like seeing him own the libs.
Yeah, well, I mean, a lot of his,
unfortunately, the irony is, though,
despite that he can't do anything,
when you look at the amount of bullshit
he's done to the economy,
a lot of the effects of his terrible trade policies are like hitting the states he needs to win very hard uh so but i
don't know if people will be able to connect those dots i'm sure some of the candidates will try to
but no way they're like i don't know i mean is it because like the amount of like insurance claims
for farms have been like just exponentially higher but i mean you see that
there are groups of farmers who are kind of like this is fucking terrible yeah uh but i don't know
and then i'm sure there are other people who are like my farm like my factory farm is huge enough
that i actually love this but you know different strokes right maybe the economy matters people
some don't yeah i mean i this is also why you, we've talked about how things are moving in a more like leftward direction just nationally in terms of local politics.
But I don't think any of that really matters when it comes to the presidential election because these people, it's beyond politics.
It's full on like death cult at this point.
Yeah.
They're ready to follow them all the way down.
All the way down. They're like, well, I'm not going to back out now cult at this point. Yeah. They're ready to follow him all the way down.
All the way down.
They're like, well, I'm not going to back out now.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, there's another supporter that Trump might have gained or might gain if Elizabeth Warren's the Democratic nominee, because Bill Gates has said that he doesn't know who he'd vote for if it was Warren versus Trump.
Seriously?
Yeah, the guy who everyone's like, oh, he's so nice.
He's such a nice fella.
The exact quote was, if I had to pay $20 billion in taxes, it's fine.
But when you say I should pay $100 billion,
then I'm starting to do a little math about what I have left over.
I'm just kidding
but seriously like yeah he did say uh he said sorry I'm just kidding so you really want the
incentive system to be there and you can go a long way without threatening that but still but still
uh so as Ryan Grimm uh the I think he used to be BuzzFeed News director,
but he pointed out on Twitter that despite being famous for giving all his money away,
he's worth more money today than he was when he retired, Bill Gates.
Right.
It's just all tax and stuff.
And stocks too.
Right.
I never understand.
There was that great clip that was circulating a couple of weeks ago that says all of this more articulately than I'm about to.
But just the whole congratulating billionaires on giving a small amount of their fortune away and that being the justification to keep laws in place that allow for it.
That's why we shouldn't abolish billionaires because sometimes a few of them-
Because then they might not share half of a percent of their wealth.
And you're like, legally, they should have to do that plus more anyways.
It's just, I don't know.
Nice guy, Bill Gates.
I don't fuck with it.
And that Netflix series is genuinely- I watched part of the first episode and it's just nice guy bill gates i don't fuck with it and and that that netflix series is genuinely i
watched like part of the first episode and it's just like nice guying him it's the same thing as
like musk going on fucking joe rogan and smoking weed you're just like you're just trying to be a
person except for that you're not put me more i'm like dude why are you hitting that blunt like that
it's i don't know yeah that's i guess i'm not surprised but that's a fucking well this is
where you see this the real class warfare starting to begin especially with candidates and there is a
few you know write-ups just looking at like how many billionaires support each candidate i think
pete budaj has the most billionaire donors and then cory booker he's got mcfarland cory booker
he's got seth He's got Seth.
What shows you, though, they have more faith in Buttigieg than they do Biden, because Biden
only has like 13 billionaire donors.
I think Elizabeth Warren has two or one.
Bernie is the only person with none.
Right.
But again, it shows you that there is this thing where because as people talk more and
more out loud, they're like, wait, there's two progressive candidates that are a threat
to my like just offensive wealth wealth accumulation yeah yeah to say like well i'm
looking i'm trying to look at what's left over for me right oh fucking three billion dollars you
fuck yeah so this uh twitter user unionized santa elves uh pointed out that a million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years.
Just to put the sheer amount of what they've accumulated into perspective, he has $106 billion.
So the 75th percentile of American, like somebody who's doing well compared to everybody else, has, I think, $368,000 net worth.
So they have the equivalent of four days.
Bill Gates has 3,286 years.
Worth of net worth there if you put your net worth into that.
Yeah, if you put their net worth into the seconds calculator.
Moses was alive when 3,286 years ago.
Like literally Moses.
Right, right, right.
Like literally from the Bible.
He could be going to Bucca every single day.
Bill Gates is like,
I'm out here spending money from Moses time.
Right.
Still spending money from 88 BC.
We get four days.
There's been a lot of,
there was like a TikTok of like a teenager
trying to figure out how far how far Bill Gates is like wealth could go.
And it like it literally solve world hunger and not even be half gone.
Like, yeah, it's just so it's so fucking absurd.
Yeah. Every day he wakes up and decides not to do that with his money.
And hey, but we will give money to NPR.
But like to think that that's a fair division of resources.
Oh, yeah. give money to NPR. But like to think that that's a fair division of resources is literally
impossible to conceive of
because he must believe like if
he thinks he is
3,286
times like
more than that like
deserves that then he
believes that he's like a god
on earth. Yeah.
I read another article or
just a stat about how a lot of these hyper wealthy people are running out of investment ideas so now
they're just hoarding like something like i don't know two or three trillion dollars in bank accounts
fucking what like it's just it makes me so mad and then i have like family members who are like
well why should they be forced to give away so much money that they earned and you're like well
look at like that's on the assumption that much money that they earned? And you're like, well, look at like,
that's on the assumption that it was all legitimately earned and not by just like hoarding or withholding
or every loophole on the fucking planet.
Either way, it's just the inequality.
It's inhumane.
It should just be fucking offensive to people.
And the way that you accumulate that is through like being a predator
and exploiting the shit out of a
unequal sure the person who hit powerball yeah fine leave them alone right whatever whatever
but like if you're out here on some multinational conglomerate shit and you're just siphoning all
this money out of different parts of the world but what like it ends it ends bad we're already
in the process of seeing how how terrible the income inequality is in this country and let alone the rest of the fucking earth.
Right.
It's just like show me a billionaire that like got that way ethically.
It doesn't exist.
That's like not possible.
I think people are picturing like, okay, I know rich people.
So these people must be like that just a little bit more,
like two times more.
It's not your cousin who's doing really well.
But yeah.
But also fuck him.
It's yeah.
Seriously,
fuck that guy.
But it's so far and beyond just anything that we can even conceive of the
amount of money and inequality that exists.
And I'm sure if you ask like an average person like
how much what's what's your dream like wealth lifestyle i'm sure probably just want to i'm
look if you're not completely fucked up from celebrity consumer culture you'd be like i just
want a house right i'll be able to go on vacations with my family i want to be able to get an
operation if i need it yeah right that's it versus like hey i'm gonna like i don't know
piss away a couple billion dollars on whatever.
I don't know.
It's fucking.
But, you know, there was a video of him jumping over the chair that time.
People like that.
Yeah.
He does have hops.
He's got hops.
So maybe he does deserve that much more money than the rest of the hops. I'm starting to think maybe he's on his side.
Sick vertical, as you say, mad boosties.
Have you seen that video, Miles?
Yeah.
Of the chair hop?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it is a clip. Of the chair hop? Yeah. Yeah.
And it is a clip.
We've really come full circle.
It's a good job. All right, actually.
Leave more on.
All right.
It's capable of amazing things.
Must jump this high to hoard your wealth.
All right.
We're going to take another quick break, and we'll be right back.

We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other.

And we're back. And let's talk about T.I. You guys, I'd really come around on T.I. I guess I never really had an opinion about him before. But then after watching Rhythm and Flow,
and he was like kind of the Elder Statesman
Elder Statesman, wise and
I just want to make sure right at the jump
because I was hearing people talk about T.I.
yesterday and some people were mixing them up
with T-Pain because they were kind of same
era, both started with T
T-Pain is perfect
T-Pain is clean
He won Masked Singer
T.I. is the guy No, no. T-I is the guy.
We're talking about T-I.
The guy with the mohawk who wears all the jewelry, right?
Oh, no.
It's Mr. T.
Oh, shit.
Damn it, Jack.
Right.
Jamie, call his doctor.
It's happening again.
The guy from Law & Order SUV.
That's Ice-T.
Oh, boy.
Law & Order SUV.
He's that former oil and drilling magnate that passed away earlier.
That's T-Boon Pickens.
Yeah, the whole thing.
He was on the podcast with Miguel's wife and other people.
But on the podcast, they were asking if he had a sex talk with his daughter.
if he had a sex talk with his daughter and out comes this anecdote that he just so lightheartedly describes as child abuse as every year we go to the gynecologist to check the structural
integrity of her hymen.
Yeah.
To make sure, I guess she is a virgin because from the caveman handbook of parenting, that
mean virgin that is yeah
which is fucking first of all i mean it's there's already been so many takes of this but like the
you i broke my hymen on a bike seat when i was 12 like there's it it doesn't feel good right there
you could get your high first of all it's child abuse second of all hymens get broken all the
time by by shit you wouldn't expect.
I've got a lot of,
everyone sound off in the comments,
if you're bike seat gang.
Yeah,
bike seat gang.
You hit a bad bump sometimes
in junior high.
If you're,
yeah,
unicycle gang.
Unicycle gang,
yeah,
there's a lot of,
pogo stick accident gang.
Log flume gang.
Yes.
I know someone that broke their hymen
on a log flume ride. Wow. Oh, really? Yeah. And got a UTI at the same time? I got a log flume gang yes i know someone that broke their hymen on a log flume ride wow
really uh yeah you got a uti at the same time there i got well i got a log flume yeah i wish
it's your life straight but there's like all kinds of ways that you can right and his response to
that too uh when the doctor told him this was like just basically saying she don't ride no horses
and she don't ride no bikes she don't play no sports just check the hymen please and give me back my results expeditiously
expeditiously uh also how did the doctor not be like this is yo that no i can't i can't really
abide by this this is why it's america man it's the celebrity worship bullshit like just yeah you got ti in your exam room right saying his
i'm gonna daughter poor with some like archaic slut shaming thing of being like i gotta make sure
what i don't nonsensical i mean it's like all of it's nonsensical but this is just like
you you have to miss so many obvious things to arrive at that conclusion of like well this is
the only proof
yeah yeah i'm like what about trying to like build some trust with your daughter so she'd
want to talk to you but right also like what's this idea for because like it's not like again
his his uh misogyny is on full display for someone who has like not been a faithful husband right and
i think like one of his younger his sons was saying like they were fucking around at 14 or something like that but again because you
you have this weird idea of your your daughter property type thing that like it must be it must
have the warranty yeah before i auction it off or whatever i don't understand do you think it's born
out of the idea like like sometimes overprotective fathers actually mistreated a lot of women in
their dating life so that's like a continuation of that cycle to them as like a parent or something.
Yeah, it's just like putting a young woman under your control.
Right.
And it's like that same-
It's just some pimp shit.
That same psychology of like when a dad is extremely hard on, or a parent in general,
is like really hard on their daughter and encouraging them to be chaste and then they're
just telling their son to go fuck everything that moves yeah like it's just that same thing taken to like
a rich person absurd like physically abusive extreme yeah hate it yeah i hate it really
fucking terrible would a doctor have to like should have to report yeah i mean this this
happened like doctors i don't know they the medical community needs to be more careful with doctors and celebrities
because, I mean, this is what killed Elvis.
This is what kills a lot of people is that they treat celebrities
as if they're not human.
They treat them like they're different, and you can't do that shit.
Like, that's people's well-being.
Yeah.
And I know she was like the most recent time, he said, as of her 18th birthday, the test followed.
But this was also happening with her as a minor.
Right.
And it's like, but then is she really consenting to this kind of exam?
But then it's like under duress because like your father.
Well, that's the thing.
to this kind of exam but then it's like under duress because like well that's the thing is like but when you're like parent is in the room and is that kind of person right so all this shit over
your head yeah like that's oh that's so i i don't know that's also a thing like i like people who
have celebrities in their family and the celebrity like starts taking advantage of like the imbalance and like
right every yeah you like see like the kids or like different parts of the family like act
differently towards the celebrity and like i yeah like i don't i don't know it's just so also like
once you get to be like an older teenager i'm like i'm trying to remember like around what age
i like told my parents not to come in
to the doctor's
like
examination room
I feel like around puberty
you're just like
I'm good
unless it was like
something that I
was like
I don't know if I can
handle this situation
before my mom come
but it's like
I would be shocked
if she's like
no I'm 16 years old
I don't want my dad
to be here for this
because I think
at the 18
when she was 18 she technically did have to sign something to allow her to allow him to see it.
Because at that point she was an adult.
But yeah, I mean, that's which is like, like, I'm sure her thinking was like, well, if I tell him not to come in, then he's going to automatically assume the worst and probably be even more overbearing.
And like that, like, I just can't.
It's already so, like like frustrating and humiliating.
I mean,
it's,
I understand why those questions are asked,
but when your parent is still in the room and they're like,
have you ever smoked?
Have you ever drank?
Blah,
blah,
blah.
And it's like,
kids lie about that all the time.
I mean,
I even like lie to my doctor about that shit.
Right.
I'm like,
yeah,
I drink once a month.
You said you stopped drinking Mountain Dew,
right?
You did?
Yeah. Why are your fingers? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why are your fingers all...
More than one cup of coffee.
Fingertip, you're like the little jaundiced.
Just a lot of dew, man.
Just a lot of yellow number five.
Go get a physical with Cheeto fingers.
Right.
What?
You laying off the chips?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, yeah.
What's on your finger?
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Nothing.
What's on your fingers?
I think I'm sick. From these generic Cheetos, man. I haven't had chips in a while. What's on your finger? Nothing, nothing, nothing. Nothing. What's on your fingers? I think I'm sick.
From these generic Cheetos, dog.
Well, shit.
That's horrible.
Very upsetting.
I hope that, yeah.
And yeah, just like the fact that he would say that
and just like the layer of humiliation
of announcing that in public
on top of the fact that he did it
is just, ugh.
Ugh.
Take his money and run.
That was his response to them asking if he's had the talk.
The sex talk.
Have you started a responsible dialogue with your daughter about-
Yeah, I treat her like property.
Yeah, no, but here's what I did do.
Take her to the car garage for a checkup.
Jesus.
To make sure the Kelly Blue book is still high on that.
Daughters are just cars you can yell at.
You're just like, what the fuck?
That's the T.I. motto.
Yeah, Deezus Nice, he tweeted, he said, oh, I finally understood what T.I. was saying when he said he was wild as a Taliban.
Yeah, literally.
All right, let's get some beverage updates.
There's a lot going on.
Bev updates.
Really?
There's a lot going on?
Yeah.
First off, in hard seltzer news,
Four Loko and Bud Light will be stepping into the arena.
So is Four Loko a company?
I thought that was just a beverage made by some irresponsible.
It was. I don't know if they were bought. Is hard to say it's actually uh it's it's sold by fusion projects
of chicago illinois okay um yes they make like battery acid or something i don't know what they
do yeah just accidentally it was a byproduct of some other like industrial process
well no no
they were
well cause it was like
Ohio State frat guys
that first
that's what they are
right
that's how the first one
came out
and that's when people
were fucking
it's just caffeine
and like soda
and lots of booze
I've still never had one
I missed
I missed
I definitely missed
the like peak of it
when it was really
really horrible
but I
I just i've
i've had a few lokes in my time and they are they are brain destroyers and soul destroyers uh but
look they're now getting into the the light-hearted seltzer game uh but this shit is going to be 12
percent which is down originally they were like this is about to be a 14%
like seltzer
and they were like
but I guess
12 seems
easier
when you consider
I think the other ones
are like 5
they're very low
and they're getting petty
because they all know
because I guess
White Claw's most popular
flavor is black cherry
they are also offering
a black cherry flavor
because they want to let you know
Sue
I fuck with Truly. That's my
hard seltzer choice.
I like Truly. They're good.
Made by Sam Adams, I think.
Oh, are they? Boston Beer Company, I believe.
Yeah, that's just a little deep brow.
And that's why I do it.
Fucking get my Truly, crack my
Truly, watch Boston Legal.
Grab me another Truly, pal.
And then Bud Light has theirs, Bud Light Seltzer, which will early next year.
And they're doing right.
They're like, it's 5%.
Okay.
But doing the similar thing, they will have a black cherry, a lemon lime, a strawberry,
and mango.
Mango truly I've had very intense.
Mango truly is too much.
It is, right?
I do the berry.
I do.
I can't not.
I saw the mango truly and I was like, I think this will be good.
And I was like, this is a little too flavorful. I haven't like a little too flavorful that i've liked i don't think i've
been like trying to because the mike's heart was really i mean i'm like i something's wrong with me
yeah uh what for the mike's heart mango mike's heart no just my mike's heart in general she's
in a cycle i i just i'm like i need i need to find a different you know i can't be
every night you can't have a nightcap of a mike's heart every night come on don't say that it starts
to affect your skin you start growing hair where hair don't belong wow uh under your fingernails
you're supposed to have nails suddenly there's hair what kind of manicure is that uh just too
much mike's heart it's just like a new thing i'm doing uh but yeah i don't know so is mike's hard entering the game have they entered they kind of already
are i have a feeling it's like anything probably every single person who's making alcohol realizes
this is the wave that you gotta surf yeah they're gonna hop into it right um but you know i'll i
will try the four logo i mean it's 12% is more than any beer, right?
Yeah, I mean, it would be a ridiculous quadruple IPA.
It's like a highly alcoholic wine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, in things that I care about, Starbucks.
Yo, people are pissed.
Okay.
People are fucking pissed at Starbucks. Guys, do not mess about. Starbucks. Yo, people are pissed. People are fucking pissed at Starbucks.
Guys, do not mess with my Starbucks.
Don't even talk to me before I've had my coffee.
Classic.
Jack always screeches that.
As I enter the office.
No, one of the top trending topics on Google.
And he always lifts his shirt.
Around his belly button is the Starbucks logo.
That's right.
Like Reggie Miller's Starburst tattoo.
And if no one responds, he just does it again.
Did you guys hear me?
Oh, fuck.
I'm sorry.
What were we talking about?
It's one of the top trending topics on Google because as we talked about yesterday, they
introduced their holiday cups.
Some of them are reusable.
So that's cool.
But the thing that's really driving people wild is that they discontinued the gingerbread latte.
I did not know.
I didn't know people were that.
There are people in this office who came in on a 10, as they say in the improv world, screaming.
I did not know.
Really?
Yeah. Like pissed. I thought not know. Really? Yeah.
Like pissed.
I thought, you know,
Wham broke up again.
For an old 80s joke.
I was like,
what was that joke for?
It was like inspired
by an old Dave Chappelle joke
about seeing upset white people.
But the whole thing,
look,
I love a holiday drink
like a seasonal beverage.
Mine is,
to full disclosure, the Winter Dream Latte at Coffee Bean.
Oh, I've never tried that.
The Winter Dream Tea Latte.
I don't know that flavor.
I'm not familiar with Winter Dreams. It tastes like mulling spices, basically.
That's what it is.
See, I don't like when someone in the beverage, like when they give you a flavor and then
you're like, but what is it?
What does it taste like?
Yeah, me neither. But I guess that's the thing. It evokes, because the then you're like, but what is it? What does it taste like? Yeah, me neither.
But I guess that's the thing.
It evokes, because the second you're like, oh, right.
It smells like someone's house you wish you grew up in.
Give me something I know what it tastes like, like unicorn lattes.
Yeah, exactly.
Ground up bones.
Yeah, the flavors that they have this year, I guess a lot of these are normal.
Peppermint mocha, toasted white chocolate mocha,
caramel brulee latte,
chestnut praline latte,
eggnog latte.
I've had the eggnog one.
I've had the eggnog. I like eggnog.
It's good.
It actually has way more calories
than like any of the other lattes.
Isn't it the,
like one of the,
like by like 100 to 200 calories
depending on the size.
It's just cream.
Yeah.
It's,
I mean, eggnog
is I think like the
most caloric thing that
humans have conceived of. Calorically dense food.
Yeah because it's like egg yolks
and sugar. It's
so like it tickles your throat
as it goes down. You're just like oh this is a
solid. My inside itch.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's like it creates a It's my inside neck see i don't i mean
there i mean congratulations to everyone who has starbucks but i never i don't know i still have
that thing where my dad used to say when i was little he'd be like oh you fucking drinking
starbucks you fucking french like he just had a class It basically costs the same as Dunkin' Donuts, but my dad also doesn't drink Dunkin' Donuts.
He goes to Cumble and Fombs.
He's like, 69 cents any fucking size.
But so I always, I'm still a Dunks person.
Well, are there a Dunk?
Do you do holiday Dunks?
I do holiday Dunks.
I mean, Dunks is kind of, it's just kind of candy.
The coffee is not necessarily coffee.
We don't have to explain that.
We know what that is.
They got that Baskin Robbins partnership.
So sometimes they're like, do you want cotton candy cold brew?
I'm like, I do.
It's always a party there.
They have a good mint, like a holiday mint coffee there that I like.
I forget what it's called formally.
Yeah, 16 ounce eggnog latte.
450 calories.
Hell yeah.
Dude, if you get that venti, 590.
Let's see.
180 milligrams of cholesterol.
60% of your daily cholesterol.
No!
Can you imagine that?
Shout out to them though
for actually putting real eggnog in there,
not just being like, it's eggnog dusting.
It's a subtle form of population control.
It's a car freshener, eggnog car freshener,
spritzed over the top of a regular latte.
Love a latte.
All right, well, I have to talk really briefly about something that DJ Danil pointed out to us,
this Reddit thread where somebody did a deep statistical analysis of James Harden, NBA MVP.
Not last year.
He could have easily won the MVP.
I think he came in second, but the year before he was the MVP.
He's revolutionized the game to make it harder to watch,
but he's just like incredible statistically.
Traveling? What is it?
Yeah.
Has like a step back that is almost like superhuman.
He's an incredible player, but he's also a notorious partier. There is a strip club in Houston
that has his jersey retired on the ceiling
because he spent so much money there.
Oh, wow.
And so this NBA Reddit person
decided to do a statistical analysis
of how James Harden performs in away games based on
how good the strip clubs are in that city. And how many of them there are. And how many. Yeah.
And he found that there was a significant statistical correlation. He said that James
Harden's box score is 20% predictable based on the quality of a city strip clubs.
Harden's best performance comes in the city with the worst strip clubs, Toronto.
Shout out to you, Toronto.
Harden's worst performance comes in the city with the best strip clubs, Miami.
And then this was surprising.
So he based his strip club ratings on, I think, Google, just Google ratings, which I had no idea.
Got to use Yelp if you're doing strip clubs.
I was going to say, Yelp is where all the feedback is.
Right.
That's what I've always used as a tool for all things.
But maybe Google, like people are just really into leaving strip club feedback on Google.
Anyways, he said Salt Lake City has the third-ranked strip clubs of all NBA cities, which surprised me.
I'm guessing – where did Portland rank?
Because I know they have most strip clubs per capita.
I don't know.
Right.
Very low value.
Caitlin and I went to a strip club in Portland the last time that we were in Portland earlier this year. And
it was so much fun. There's someone invited us who worked there and we went for eggs and legs.
Oh, was that your breakfast thing?
It was breakfast. Yeah. It was really good. They made my ovaries just the way I like them.
Wow.
I love, I like the slimers. They're good.
I thought that was an ovaries joke.
They're, oh, sweet.
No, I just, that's simply how I like my eggs prepared.
Well, you know, look, when you like to party,
you like to party, I guess.
Just tip well.
I don't give a fuck about sports.
There used to be a Tumblr called
One Star Yelp Reviews of Strip Clubs,
and they took it down.
It was the most hilarious shit to read people.
Was it just misogynist shit?
No.
I guess inherently, but these people had legitimate gripes about the business.
They're like, you know, when I'm coming in for a lunch special, I only have one hour.
These were like straight like angry people
who were like,
it's fucking my day up.
It wasn't like,
yo, the dance is trash,
whatever.
It was like,
no, the management is this.
And it was like so,
like so many of these reviews
were so well worded
that you're like,
that was sort of the fun of it.
They spent a lot of time thinking about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
My most perverted friend
once complained about the coffee at a strip club.
He was like, yeah, coffee's no.
No, no, just like out loud.
Like it was something we'd be like, yeah, man, that coffee does suck or something.
But he was like, ah, God, what is this?
Starbucks?
Not to mention the lunch specials.
Hey, some places do it good, though.
Some places have good food there.
Other places, they'll get it from up the street
I wish I had
yeah I wish I had the name of the strip club we went to
with amazing food and people
but I don't know it off the top of my head
damn it
damn it
well there's lots of them in Portland
yes
if I remember it I'll
shop around
sight gang
Jamie it's been so fun having you as always

Of your underwear.

He got phone privileges back.
Wow, wow.
Yeah, he's hitting the iPad hard.
He's going on, what was that thing called?
Chat roulette.
Chat roulette. He's whipping his dick out on chat roulette. He's going on, what was that thing called? Chat roulette.
He's whipping his dick out on chat roulette.
He's going to go to jail.
Where can people find you and follow you?
Oh, you can find me on twitter.com at jamieloftishelp or Instagram.
Does somebody just moan?
Yeah.

She's the best, and she had my favorite TI-related tweet.
She said,

still has a gorgeous, tight little bean hole.
That was great.
She's at Anna Dresden.
Yeah, she's the best.
