No, it's all right. No, I mean, it's, you know, you could pay me, but... It's not great. It's not great, let's be honest. And we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hacker who codes, Jamie Loftus. Hi. What's up?
Starting point is 00:03:33 I'm in. Nice. Jamie, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about today. Mostly, we're going to talk about the debates, but we're also going to talk about the fact that the Taco Bell Hotel sold out in two minutes. Excuse me? Oh, I forgot.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Never had a shot. No. Never had a shot. I had an email set up. This was rigged all the way to the top. Also, we're going to talk about that ad. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Okay, good, good, good, good, good. Oh, that was my man. You about that ad. Yes. Yes. Okay, good, good, good, good, good. That was my myth. You mean boyhood? Yes, exactly. Well, if it's your myth, we don't have to talk about it. We're going to talk about the first debate, the second debate. We're going to talk about the fact that Netflix won't have The Office for much longer and, yeah, other stuff. But first, Jamie, we like to ask our guests,
Starting point is 00:04:26 what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I got a drink with my friend last night, and he was telling me about this new girl he's dating, and I Googled her for a full hour when I got home. I didn't even realize what I was doing. But computers are so scary. Do you ever just lock in and you're like, I'm going to do something fucking weird tonight
Starting point is 00:04:45 like where I was talking to him I was like he kept saying her first name and at some point I was just like what's her last name and he gave me her last name and then
Starting point is 00:04:55 you're like how do you spell that he mentioned that her parents were writers I'm like oh I wanna know about that and so I went home I googled her
Starting point is 00:05:02 I read her articles in her college newspaper please write it down I found out she worked onled her, I read her articles in her college newspaper. Please write it down. I found out she worked on a TV show I liked. I was like, oh, that's cool. And then I found out her parents are journalists. And I was like, oh, my parents is one. And then I found out, and then I looked up her name and white pages and figured out exactly what her birthday was.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Did you run her natal chart? Then, no, I should have looked up her. Okay, that's for tonight. You need to ask him what time she was. Did you run her natal chart? Then, no, I should have looked up her, okay, that's for tonight. You need to ask him what time she was born. There, let me,
Starting point is 00:05:29 and so anyway, and I, you're doing it right now. And then I just, and then my friend texted me later and was just like,
Starting point is 00:05:36 I'd love you, for you to meet her sometime. I was like, no need. I feel like I know more than you do, probably.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Did you know she was on the honor roll in 2007? Did you intentionally learn what her birthday was? You're going to steal his girlfriend. I really think, and the more I read about her, the more I liked her. Miss Snatcho Girl, Jamie Loftus. I'm going to steal his girl. She seems lovely. I know everything about her.
Starting point is 00:06:03 That's so scary. Oh, I hope she listens to this show. What is something that you think is overrated? Chris Hardwick on television still. I know. Wow. He just came on with a game show that seemed otherwise like a delight. Come on, LeBron.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Number one, it's called The Wall, which is topical. Topical. Very topical. But yeah, then he doesn't have to climb it. I would watch a show where he had to climb a wall and fell down. Oh, I would love to see him climb a wall without a harness. People just threw stuff at him. I want to see him free solo the NBC wall.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Yeah, a game show where Chris Hardwick does all the challenges and they're all impossible. Right. He just gets hurt a lot. And yeah, none of them are safe. Yeah. No, it's good. I think the Hursts need more money. I think that that is good. I agree. I would say it was absolutely trumped by Game of them are safe. No, it's good. I think the Hursts need more money. I think that that is good.
Starting point is 00:06:45 I got to say, it was absolutely trumped by Game of Games last night. That was the ideal post-debate thing to show. Really, I'd never seen the show before, but Ellen DeGeneres, who should be president, hosts this absolutely unsafe show where they spin people around in chairs and make them, you know, there's a giant boot and Ellen gets to, she has judician, justice, judicious? She chooses the boot. Jurisdiction?
Starting point is 00:07:12 Jurisdiction. She's an, oh. She has jurisdiction over the boot and all these people have to wear big targets on their backs and Ellen can kick them with a huge boot. I mean, wow. What's not to love? Why wasn't that between the debate? I'm pretty sure jurisdiction was not the right word there also.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Now that I'm thinking about it. But you said it with such authority. The word you're looking for is jurisdiction, Sarah. That sounds amazing. Yeah, it was really good. I'm sad that I turned it off so quickly in a huff because my guy, Beto. President Skateboard didn't perform the way I wanted him to.
Starting point is 00:07:49 God damn it. Oh, I think I just figured out what my new myth is going to be. Okay. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated is the Jeremy Renner song that... Did you guys talk about the Jeremy Renner song yet? Okay, Jeremy renner yesterday or
Starting point is 00:08:06 no two days ago uh on i'm sweating already on twitter.com he's already tried and failed to be a stand-up comedian now he's trying to be a musician the clip is fucking wild it sounds like an like an imagine Dragons ripoff. Where's the aux cord? Oh. It's really fucked up. Wait, we're going to plug in the aux cord just to catch everybody up in case you don't know who Jeremy Renner is. If you don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Hurt Locker. Now you know. He was very good in the town. Yeah, if you don't know, now you know. Hawkeye. He's come up. Hawkeye right that's probably the more well-known uh and uh the most well-known thing to daily zeitgeist listeners is an interview he had uh in a magazine a couple years ago where he was like he said he'd never
Starting point is 00:08:58 gotten in a fight but that he can choke anyone out and or or that he can't be choked out. It was really, it was very weird. And then he talked about house flipping, like how he's the number one at house flipping. He looks like someone who would talk a lot about house flipping. He, you know, I don't respect him. And so this really, this really did it for me. He posted, it's him in the studio. He's in the studs, just him.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Does he have the headphones on? He's got the headphones on. Is he singing into the filter thing in the studs, just him. Does he have the headphones on? He's got the headphones on. Is he singing into the filter thing? The tweet says, coming soon. And then this is attached. So far predictable, I gotta tell you. Never be the same.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Tell them don't have a name. Wow. There's just... Wait, what? It turns into an Imagine Dragons sample. Can you turn that Toyota commercial off? The lyrics are, so promptum ditzabool, I gotta
Starting point is 00:09:58 tell you. So promptum ditzabool? Never be the same. Shannon don't have a name. The discernible lyrics. Give me few, give me five, give me double double. Jeremy Renner, he has never, I haven't been on board with him for a second until today. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I love his Imagine Dragons cover band. That's amazing. It sounds like this was made in a program. This sounds like a fake. Did you see the Black Mirror with Miley Cyrus? Where they get the song out of her brain and then they turn up the positivity. It sounds like they extracted this
Starting point is 00:10:37 from something and then they just turned up the bullshit. Let's max out the bullshit. Okay, musician, but you cannot hear him. Also, he is not saying anything. But why did, so it starts with him, Can we play it again?
Starting point is 00:10:52 like his raw audio and then it like goes into the song? I'm like, whoever made this video has an agenda against him because he kind of wanted people to hear the raw audio of this. Wait.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Coming soon. Shannon don't have a name. Yeah! There's these upshots of Jeremy Renner in a scarf. There's a shot of him at the piano like... It's so aggressive
Starting point is 00:11:27 i'm like you can't play the footage of him at the anyways it's coming soon and i cannot wait coming soon as am i how could you not i mean is that the name of the song? Shannon Don't Have a Name? I don't even know if that's what he's supposed to be saying. It's a contradiction because by definition, Shannon would have a name. I know. It would be Shannon.
Starting point is 00:11:54 But that's really the message. Right. Scurpa-dop-jizz-ow. He came right in with a scooby-dee-poop. He didn't do anything before. Can we just do that first part again, please? Slap us if it's who I gotta tell you. he didn't do anything before can we just do that first part again please people have compared it to the Kim Cattrall scatting video and I don't think it's far off
Starting point is 00:12:11 yeah the Kim Cattrall I can't get over it I don't understand it underrated that is wildly underrated I haven't seen the Kim C I don't understand it. Underrated. That fucking rules. That is wildly underrated. I haven't seen the Kim Cattrall scatting video. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:30 That's a Zeitgeist classic. It's powerful. It's amazing because it's her and her then husband, future ex-husband. Scatting together. He's like a musician playing upright bass and is clearly like a musician who is like a fine musician
Starting point is 00:12:49 and she's like yeah and it's great we spend time together and I scat over his like jazz licks and then it's just her being like is this from like a show or something? or is it like a home video? no it was like an interview on like 2020 or something.
Starting point is 00:13:06 And he plays the upright bass. Sorry. Yep. Some hot Hollywood goss is that she's got a new husband and this one plays the bongos. I love that line so much well you doubted all the he dogs doubted all the she dogs the town never knew such a hullabaloo she says it with such confidence it is amazing i want to meet her bongo yeah i actually was thinking about that video tonight when a presidential candidate, Hudsucker Proxy, was talking. Just because it's like this very strange delivery of things, but like extremely confident.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Who, Marianne Williamson? Yeah. Yeah. Hi, I'm here to audition for Blanche. She's like, oh, my word. Trump has ruined this country, but I'm going to govern by bringing up baby. I'd like a crystal in every pussy, if you know what I mean. She's, oh, what a delight.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Really amazing. Don't call me a goddess. And then makes eye contact with the camera. Okay, do. She did make some sassy eye contact with the camera. And she did. Remember when she did it? Mr. Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:34 She thinks it's fucking Fleabag. Remember when she was like Mr. Trump? You just did a really good Fleabag, by the way. And then looked at the camera and was like, Mr. Trump, if you're watching. If you're watching. If you're watching. Saying it. Oh, watching. Marianne, if you're nasty. I wanted her to give a discount code to her speaking
Starting point is 00:14:52 sessions at the end. If you put in Marianne at checkout. I like that they were like, what's your number one policy goal? She was like, governing with love. I could just listen to you guys do a Marianne Williams thing. What is Marianne's sign? I know she knows.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I'm going to guess. I'm going to guess. I'm going to guess. Yes. Oh, wait. Oh, this is good. Cancer. Leo.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Okay, you're guessing she's a Cancer. I'm guessing she's a Cancer. Oh, no, no. Virgo. Okay, you should have stuck with it because she is a Cancer. Fuck. Wow. Does it say her rising? Nailed it. Oh, no, no. Virgo. Okay, you should have stuck with it because she is a cancer. Fuck. Wow. Does it say her rising?
Starting point is 00:15:26 Nailed it. Her rising is Gemini. Ooh, uh-oh. Can't have that in office. That's crazy that you got it right off. Your initial instinct was right. Well, yeah, you know, she looked at the camera with such teary emotion. I was like, this cancer needs help.
Starting point is 00:15:41 This is a lot. So much confidence. This poor little cancer. I love it. Okay, what is your myth, Jamie? Now, this is going to sound contradictory because I do it, but I realized today that people should not run social media accounts for their pets because Robert Evans sent me Beto O'Rourke's dog's Twitter,
Starting point is 00:16:05 and it is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life. Does the dog skateboard? The dog, it's just... Fucking poser. Like many things about Beto, it's just fucking embarrassing and hard to look at. Does the dog also stand on things he shouldn't? So his dog's name is Artemis O'Rourke.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Fuck off. Here's what he posted after the first night of the debate. Paw print emoji. Woof. I'm trying to be a good pupper as my dad instructed me to always be, but I have to bark this. That look of disgust on Castro's face says everything about Julian and nothing about Beto. I'll leave it at that. Hashtag Beto 2020.
Starting point is 00:16:48 And then like he would just, and then if anyone responds with things that are nice about Beto O'Rourke, he says, I pogre. Oh my God. It's the most, I want my dog to fucking eat. Yeah. Can you make your dogs fight? Well, my dog and I are fighting because my dog is a centrist right so the enemy of my enemy is my my dog's enemy that's true i mean if my dog is willing to incite violence against beto o'rourke's dog i pogre with that do we think uh woof
Starting point is 00:17:16 i'd like to start with like this seems like it could be a joke Twitter account, but then how, like, overdetermined and politician-y the, like, actual content is. If it was a joke Twitter account, it would be funnier. Right. Right. It's so sincere. It suggests that it's actually, like, somebody, like, interns from his campaign who are like, we got an idea. And this is going to be super cute. And people are going to love it.
Starting point is 00:17:41 It's so embarrassing. I know. Here's the thing. Beto is not a negative guy, but his dog's a huge cunt it's just it made me so fucking depressed to look at and yeah it was it's it's bad so you know i'm gonna shut sunny down and then i'm gonna kill him because what's the point of having a pet if you can't uh talk about it online you said it yeah plus he's a centrist so we really can't talk about it online. You said it. Yeah. Plus he's a centrist. Plus he's a centrist, so we really can't have him voting,
Starting point is 00:18:08 which he can. Guys, I've said it once. I'll say it again. There's no red states of America or blue states of America. There's the United States of America. I pogre. The Taco Bell hotel is sold out. That's my reason for not having a reason to go on.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Are we still talking about the debates? What? Are we going to talk about the debates more now or later? Were there debates? Sorry, I was distracted by the fact that the Taco Bell hotel sold out. Okay, now back to the Taco Bell. Now back to the real issue facing Americans right now. Yeah, no, sorry. This is what we do at the end of Act 1 is we talk about silly bullshit.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I got you. I got you. And, yeah, that's all there is about that. It sold out in two minutes. What is the Taco Bell Hotel? None of us ever had a shot. Palm Springs Taco Bell's taken over a hotel for like four nights. Oh, so it's not you can sleep in a Taco Bell?
Starting point is 00:19:02 No. They should do that. You can, by the way. You can sleep in a taco bell no they should do that you can by the way uh yeah i was really i would sleep in most taco bells and i know that it's it's uh corporate stunt but it looked fun i know and it also seems like something that could go very fire festival and like what if it's right if something's very wrong with it yeah exactly dorito hotel loco yeah right yeah and then dorito sets up a rival hotel, and they're like the Carpathia coming in for the sinking Titanic.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Right. And good analogy, Jamie. Thank you. Yes. Nailed it. And then the Doritos hotel is like, we've got everything. We've got all the Doritos and warm beds you could ever want. You guys know you can just go to any hotel and order Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah. Yeah. But there's a water sign. It started to feel like a order Taco Bell. Yeah. Yeah. But there's a water sign. It started to feel like a shitty cheap corporate stunt when I didn't get a reservation. Before that, it was really fun and innovative. And Kingo fucked themselves. Before that, it was actually hashtag epic. Epic.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And then we do have to talk about the ad that is... For boyhood. Yes, the ad for boyhood. So I don't know how to talk about this because it's like a spoiler. I guess if you haven't seen the ad for boyhood that turns out not to be the ad for boyhoods, go watch it now. Pause this and go watch it now. What is it, like two minutes?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Yeah, it's two and a half minutes. It's very long. So it follows the life of a boy as he is born, grows up, pees outside for the first time, gets in his first fight. But comes into incel. Yeah, becomes an incel. In the commercial. Travels to Asia and is cured of his incel-ness,
Starting point is 00:20:41 falls in love, and then goes... And by this point, you're weeping. Moves out. You're just weeping. Yeah, grows his hair back. Oh, yeah, when his girlfriend dumps him, he shaves his head. And then he gets a beard when he goes to Asia
Starting point is 00:20:53 because he gets it. Yeah, and then... It's so crazy. The whole time I was trying to guess what it was an afro. I was like, Trojans, Halliburton, and it could be... Trojans would have been funny because it would have been like this person should not exist.
Starting point is 00:21:08 It seemed like there was so much you saw. I was like this has to do something about like there's a lot of sex. You see a mother giving birth, a home birth. I'm like surely this all must be relevant. That was a weird thing is that they have the mother giving birth in a tiny bathtub like a water birth like a water birth is like supposed to be in a body of water but like do it in like a kiddie pool at right but whoever made this commercial just like had heard of a home birth and just like had a birth in like a tiny little
Starting point is 00:21:41 bathtub anyways uh that is not the weirdest part of the ad. The weirdest part comes at the end when it shows this young man whose life we have seen flash before our eyes. The ups and downs, the trials, the tribulations. So the first thing we hear other than swelling string music is a woman's voice comes in and says, every day life asks you the same question. What are you going to try today? And it shows him as a grown man walk into a subway and walk up to a subway counter and look at the literal universe of options in front of him through the sneeze guard. Every day, life asks you the same question.
Starting point is 00:22:26 What do you want from subway? Here what i take umbridge with i wanted to know what his order was after all that right yeah and was like are so you're a meatball marinara guy that's actually that's coming in the next installment there i'm just gonna be like two two more acts where he like gets married and then gets divorced and shaves his head again and then you know it's discussed to be his kids and then he has to decide what he wants at subway again and then he reconnects and then gets divorced and shaves his head again. And then, you know, it's discussed to be his kids. And then he has to decide what he wants at Subway again. And then he reconnects. And then the third installment, he reconnects with his kids and they go to Subway together.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Also, the relationship with the girl, it's not like they're dating. He kisses a girl and then he sees her talking to a guy and like touch hands. And then he goes and shaves his head. It's just such an unnecessarily aggressive move. I mean, he appears to be an only child. It's not, you know.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yeah. They're not a lot as explained. But I thought it was going to be for a jeans, you know. Because all the commercials that you don't know used to just be for jeans. This was a cast off of a Levi's ad. Yeah. They just added in the last shot of the subway. Because he's not even, you don't even see him in a subway.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Right. You see him with kind of like the background is pretty blank. And then it cuts to, they're not even in the same shot. That's the point. It literally could have been for anything. That's true. Yeah. My theory was that they, like someone took this demented student film and just shopped
Starting point is 00:23:42 it around. And they're like, who will pay me to just put an image of an employee and their sneeze guard at the end of the set? I mean, I'm sure whatever, I mean, I'm sure they wanted this to happen and it's working and we're playing right into their hands. But I was like, holy shit. They're not that good. You know what this
Starting point is 00:23:57 proves is that ads really are art and people that work in advertising are actually artists, but better because they make money. Someone I worked with yesterday showed us a really long Apple commercial and was like, see, commercials can be filmmaking.
Starting point is 00:24:14 And then today we showed him this and he's like, well, I guess maybe I was wrong. That's amazing. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We will be right back.

Starting point is 00:26:30 where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day,

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a
Starting point is 00:27:41 foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her.
Starting point is 00:28:00 What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back and uh we have you for 10 more minutes jamie let's get your thoughts it's the night on the first night of debates the second night of debates what are your thoughts like what my thoughts specifically yeah in two words because I'm really looking for one or two words here. This is how the debates were conducted.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Give me one word, actually. We were just looking for one word. Oh, okay. Done. You're done. It's over. Witch healing. Witch-based.
Starting point is 00:29:05 New Zealand is my number one policy goal. I would like a witch based I think yeah New Zealand is my number one policy goal she went my new friend Marianne Williamson went the fuck off about New Zealand it is fun to have like true is that where that accent is from?
Starting point is 00:29:20 I'm like she watched a lot of Betty Davis movies I don't know what there's a transatlantic to how she spoke. Remember when she said honey? Honey. When I told her, honey, the United States is the greatest place
Starting point is 00:29:36 on earth. I'm like, she's going to get to go to the Met Ball next year. What a strange combination of idiosyncratic, weird New York City socialite with patriotism. Like, we're the best. She sounds like Samantha. USA!
Starting point is 00:29:54 A slight foghorn, leghorn intonation, too. Right, right. Here's what I say. I know we were talking about Kim Cattrall earlier, but it's pretty Kim Cattrall. It's pretty Samantha. Oh, totally. I know we were talking about Kim Cattrall earlier, but it's pretty Kim Cattrall. It's pretty Samantha. Yeah, no, literally I had thought of that clip before it even came up because of the thing. Yeah, same cadence. I'm going to get America out of this hullabaloo.
Starting point is 00:30:14 The town never knew such a hullabaloo. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I appreciated the comedic relief that was not there last night. I don't know. I mean, we're still present. I mean, here's what I'll say. Joe Biden's veneers were out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:33 They're about to fall out. You pointed out that he appears to be adding teeth over the course of this campaign. He not just has veneers. He has additional veneers that do not belong in the human mouth. Right. He's got so many. They're false front veneers. They're coveringeneers that do not belong in the human mouth they're false veneers they're covering nothing it was yeah it was like it was just like shells um so that was distracting um i don't i don't know i i'm like not his face looks like a road barrier the orange and white
Starting point is 00:30:57 white ones yeah it was like a little yellow up top yeah it was very very not flattering lighting the tanning to veneer ratio was really disappointing for me tonight and uh especially from uh the only republican candidate on stage right it really was a major letdown not a good not a good showing yeah the big takeaway in the media uh seems to be him getting pwned for being a racist. Yeah, which is fair. Kamala Harris. Which is fair.
Starting point is 00:31:30 And that little girl was me. That was well done. Yeah, I was in the car with my friend, and we got a little, oh, out of that one. Oh, shit. I do love listening to people during debates deploy phrases you could tell they wrote three weeks ago. And then just hearing them be like, oh. What was it Swalwell was like? When I'm not changing diapers, I'm changing something else.
Starting point is 00:31:54 The United States of America. And then he looked at the camera for a hold for applause and none came. People were like, dry cough in the back. People are like, dry cough in the back. Harris had another one, too, when two people were, I forget which two people were screaming across her, but she had a very well-prepared ring. Guys, the people don't want a food fight.
Starting point is 00:32:17 They want to know how we're going to put food on their table. And Marianne Williamson's like, oh, that's good. Point taken. I'm going to tell that one to Oprah that was a good use of Oprah's power as a writer I felt like the and that little girl was me
Starting point is 00:32:37 you could see that coming a mile away she was like there was a little girl in second grade I was like yeah okay it's you we got it. Come on. But people loved that shit, man. Oh, it hit in that room, yeah. To me, it was a surprise ending. And Biden was like, what?
Starting point is 00:32:52 No. One of Biden's fake teeth fell out, and he swallowed it. Oh, God. That's why he was wheezing so much. Where's Biden's last teeth? From the first night debate, anything other than Beto. Like, low energy really doesn't play well in debates. Last night's debate was such a fucking snooze fest.
Starting point is 00:33:17 It was a real slog. Nothing good happened. Everyone was very calm. I did enjoy how in this debate nobody respected the moderators at all. Nobody followed their instructions. Everyone's expecting my crush, Lester Holt, my internal crush. Right. Any day, any time.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Yeah. I don't know. It was, it was, I don't know. It was a weird, I mean, at least the background tonight was a little better than the background last night. Was it? Yeah. Because the one for the first debate was a little better than the background last night. Was it? Yeah, because the one for the first debate was like, it was like a big fake house. It looked like a big white house.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Really? Yeah, and then this one was like more normal. It was just blue stripes or something. Yeah. Yeah, it seems like Elizabeth Warren did well. She did good last night, yeah. She does, and she did it well. Like, she didn't do anything
Starting point is 00:34:05 surprising but like she didn't really have to so it's fine yeah so i think she'll probably stay on the same trajectory here's my note i wish she had talked like marion williamson and i think it would have been a lot more compelling to start doing that and just not address it just be like this is my voice now once the second marion williamson is out of the race, I need Elizabeth Warren to take that affectation and really run with it. I was amazed Bill de Blasio is, I had never seen him in motion before, and I'm shocked that he's a politician
Starting point is 00:34:38 because he looks, yeah, I don't know. I mean, people seemed, some people seemed really like more impressed with him than i was expecting them to be oh really like dude like well he kind of wrecked beta a couple times but he did i mean how hard is that i mean everyone was kind of just like throwing food at beta but like they're i mean like the trains can't even run in new york like no one can like get anywhere yeah okay I mean just like I mean and like I feel like Buttigieg had like a similar thing tonight but he actually had to address it where he was
Starting point is 00:35:11 like now listen guys I know I'm doing a bad job as mayor but don't let that discourage you from letting me run the country he's like look I know gun violence is a big issue because everybody in my town where I am mayor is dying right Now, let me tell you how I'm not going to solve that problem on a national stage either. He's like, now, a great way for things to get safer in South Bend is for me to not be mayor there anymore. You know how we're going to do that? We're going to make me president. And you know what? I did not carry an assault rifle around a foreign country just to see assault rifles carried by regular citizens here in the United States. Those are for killing foreign people.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Pete Buttigieg has beautiful eyes. He looked like a doll who became a boy. Oh, okay. Never mind. He has like rosy little cheeks. His eyes are so blue that it looked like his eyeballs were green screened and it was just showing the law behind them. So, Jim, you saw his Vogue shoot. I did see his Vogue shoot, of course. Absolutely. So I brought it up the other day and it was just showing the law behind him. So, you saw his Vogue shoot.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I did see his Vogue shoot. Absolutely. So I brought it up the other day and Jack was like, what? And I was like, how have you not seen the Beto and the Butt pictures? Oh my God. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:36:15 It's really good. Beto's like in front of a truck or something and he's like trying to stand on it and they keep moving him and telling him not to. And then it says like, because I want it. Yeah, it's incredible. And Buttigieg is doing one where his tie is over his shoulder or something and he's like looking to the left and he's like,
Starting point is 00:36:30 yeah, Annie Leibovitz is taking my photo right now because I'm mayor. Yeah. Yeah. His press team is very, very intense and very, very interesting. They've run a really, really hard campaign of trying to make you horny for Pete Buttigieg. And it's just not working for a lot of the American public. But for some of the American public, it's really working.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Yeah. A lot of people are horny for the mayor. I don't know why. I'm not horny for the mayor in particular. I'm not horny for the mayor. I don't want to. No, I don't want to be horny for the president. I thought it was weird that people were cheering so loud and hard for him.
Starting point is 00:37:05 It seemed like. It made me wonder. Because he is such a machine guy. He's got a good team. Right. I'm assuming that it was all about placement. I get why people like him, too, but it's just, yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:19 He seemed like a tool. Here's what I'll say about Pete Buttigieg. Seth MacFarlane really likes him so he's got the family guy vote and you know we got to respect that that's a seth mcfarland uh four of the past five elections let the record show that i only vote with seth my record is spotless my politics have everything to do with my crush when I was 12. I will vote with him forever. Family guy, family values. That's right. God, you are like already
Starting point is 00:37:52 speaking and I feel like you could run for president. I absolutely would if Pete Buttigieg would marry me. That's what I would love. I don't think that's happening. Oh shit, Jamie just exploded. We're going to have to get a cleanup in here.
Starting point is 00:38:11 But in the meantime, Super Producer Anna Hosnier is here with some takes on what she thought of. I shouldn't tee you up like that. No, Jamie had to leave. We're bringing in Super Producer Anna Hosnier. We do tag team now. Yeah, yeah. So welcome. Anna just killed Jamie.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Yes. So that she could take her place as guest. Yeah, you know me. She put her in a headlock and said, shh, it was Jamie. Lost consciousness. Yeah, well, thank you for your high energy. My one overwhelming note from tonight's debate is Eric Swalwell, damn man, I hate your face, is what I wrote.
Starting point is 00:38:53 That's really the only thing that I wrote. You don't like potatoes that are a little off? A little off? Has their due date? Yeah. Sentient potatoes. I really did not like him. Has their due date.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Sentient potatoes. I really did not like him. Was it just across both nights? Was there anybody who jumped out to you guys that you weren't aware of that you thought was impressive or whatever? I know people last night were like, Tulsi Gabbard was great. Well, her just knowing who committed 9-11 was very important to me. Tulsi Gabbard talking about wars and then nobody else jumping on on it at all was was pretty good i liked warren's closing speech i thought it was delivered really well um still doesn't really explain why she doesn't support medicare for all but you know that just
Starting point is 00:39:36 seems out of seems uh it seems out of character for her other policies right uh you know what i really was surprised by was uh terrible Andrew Yang was on stage. I was led to believe that he was charismatic. Yeah, I did too. It felt like he also just didn't really get a chance. And he was wearing like an open collar shirt situation, which was weird. Well, he's the laid back entrepreneur. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Presidential candidate. I don't know if you guys know this, but $ dollars a month is below below the poverty line it's like way way way like even if you support ubi a thousand dollars a month is way below living wage so like his main thing is the ubi thing it doesn't really make any sense he also said something weird which was when they asked him about foreign policy you know what's your number one foreign policy concern he was like we should cooperate with china on ai and i was like, we should cooperate with China on AI. And I was like, no, we shouldn't. Absolutely not. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I do feel like their go-to is to bring up China at times. Or Trump. Yeah. And it's like, OK, but that's not really what the question asked. Yeah. Well, that was a weird thing about the first night is that nobody brought up Trump. So on the second night, it seemed like they really went. One person, I think, brought up Trump.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I forget who it was, but there was one who would be like, the biggest problem to our national security. Is that the question they always say? National security at the end? That was tonight, too. They all say. It was like, what's your biggest national security concern? Is it climate change? And they were like, yes, but no. Right. Yeah. I think last night there was one person who said trump which i'm i'm blanking on who it was uh personally tim ryan get the fuck out of here yeah i was shocked debates and i don't know who he's the one who didn't know who committed 9-11 oh right okay he had just the weirdest policy on the middle east that was just so edging towards the conservative, aren't we? That I was just like, come on.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I really enjoyed Hickenlooper's whole, to really change the climate, we need to include fossil fuel companies. That was a really, I don't know what you call it, an out-of-the-box thinking strategy, an entrepreneurial type of way to combat fossil fuel- climate change is just to like keep working with that. The conservatives, I'm looking at Drudge right now, and they already have tomorrow's New York Post headline, which is who wants to lose the election with a picture of all the candidates raising their hand? of all the candidates raising their hand because they think it's crazy
Starting point is 00:42:05 that the Democratic candidates raise their hand in favor of free healthcare for illegal immigrants. Yeah, is that a thing? No. I didn't know we could do that. Right. I mean, to support free healthcare for illegal immigrants, you would need to both support open borders
Starting point is 00:42:23 and Medicare for All, which no candidate really does. Right. So that doesn't make sense. Right. But they are going to lose the election. Real gaffe. But the main headline seems to be Biden stammers as Kamala eats him alive. Well, that little girl was hurt.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Well, that's the thing. Biden can't admit that he was wrong, is like classic like old white male thing where he'll argue you to the fucking grave yeah he's like his teeth were starting to fall out it's like just let it go man you're like literally stress arguing yourself to death in front of our eyes and then to a point where he's just stopped he was like yeah i guess no one's really listening anymore so i'll just stop here he was like now you said 30 seconds that was weird but i mean this is like what if what if you can uh if you had to pick one would you rather health care or climate change because obama only got to do one and he was like well actually um obama did a lot
Starting point is 00:43:17 and just tell us just pick one just say something right yeah in that moment he like looked up and everyone was looking at their phones i mean this is a point that people were making kind of right when he entered the race that he was the front runner because he was the vice president but he's run for president four times before and all of his campaigns time obama told him not to right obama was like no no no no no no don't right but jet joe like, Joe, Joe, over here, over here. No, no, you're looking the wrong way. Over here. No, don't do it.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Joe, I'm over here. But like in the 80s and like 90s, he- How old is he? 1,000. Yeah, I believe he's 1,000. Yeah, he's 1,000 years old. And in the 1800s- I think Biden's got really good Botox.
Starting point is 00:44:03 He looks like he's got some good- You think so? Yeah, well, quality workox. He looks like he's got some good. Yeah, well, quality work done. But coloring wise, it's just not working. No, but he's smooth. He's smooth Bernie, baby. Looks like corpse makeup. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:15 But I mean, this was a point that I think. Biden's a real smooth Bernie. I think people were making that he's just not good at this. He's not good at running for president. Like he was an appropriate choice for Obama. But Jack, Barack Obama calls him Joe. Right, that's true. That is true.
Starting point is 00:44:31 You know, I have a personal rule. Never mind, forget everything I said. I always feel like I have a personal rule. If I cannot stay awake and I'm tired and then my friends keep hitting me up like, come out, come out, come out, but I can't stay awake. I'm like very tired.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I need to sleep. I go to sleep. I go to sleep. I don't go out. And that's just a metaphor for what Biden should do. He clearly can't stay awake for this. He's not going to be able to handle a full four year presidency, let alone two terms. You know, like I can't imagine. He's already like he's he's got that cranky look.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Yeah. When you when you do go out and then you're like, well, fuck, I hate this. Why am I here? This sucks. And all your friends are like, have fun. And you're like, I'm just going to be a bummer. Sorry. I'm going to be in the corner being a bummer.
Starting point is 00:45:10 But I will not pay for my own lift home. How do you think Bernie did? I think Bernie did pretty good. Tax the rich. Who doesn't love that? I guess the rich. But I think he did all right um he did a lot of yelling at the end which i loved i really liked his yelling about
Starting point is 00:45:30 wall street and big pharma and fossil fuels and you know um how do they ask a question about something and then he brought up special interests and it was like not really relevant but yeah there was a race part where like they talked about race like him changing or not paying enough attention to race and he was like uh the thing we have to focus on is class which is like the thing that everybody faults him for is like shifting the focus well i think people do fault him for that a lot but it seems to me also like one of the most materialist ways of thinking about race because like you know we've had the reparationsist ways of thinking about race because like you know we've had the reparations bill hearing recently and that was all about you know now politicians are able to
Starting point is 00:46:10 openly say america was built economically on the backs of slaves and we owe african-american slaves and their descendants money right and to talk about that and to talk about the you know uh i think gillibrand even brought up institutionalized racism. Institutionalized racism is directly affected by things like Medicare for All and universal pre-K and paid leave. I mean, all of these things are policies that would most affect America's poorest, who are also generally America's darkest. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Gillibrand and Klobuchar are the same person in my mind. Gillibrand is a little... They were until these debates. And then Gillibrand is more... Gillibrand and Klobuchar are the same person in my mind They Gillibrand is a little They were until these debates Gillibrand is more Disney princess So does she support Medicare for all Or just universal pre-k And paid leave
Starting point is 00:46:57 I don't know I did like how they were like What's your foreign policy goal And she was like engage Iran she would start a war with iran i think what she was like i would come out and be like here's what we need to do to like fix our foreign you know relations but i don't know a lot of that like see that's the thing is like when it comes to like those kind of questions they give such broad answers of like i think that we would get back in the nuclear deal and fix everything and you're like okay but like you do really understand that we're in like the
Starting point is 00:47:30 worst situation we've ever been in with iran even with the nuclear deal there were still sanctions yeah i mean i was very surprised that they did not bring up that more candidates didn't bring up iran considering we literally almost went to war last week. Yeah, I don't think they have an answer to that, because I think the concept of Iran really scares them, as it does a lot of people, because you're like, now we have this country that is going to, if we don't come to a deal in our negotiations, they're going to start enriching their uranium, and that could lead to nuclear weapons. And that's all you really have to say for them to panic. It doesn't really matter that they would be doing that to like you know have electricity yeah like it's also blanketed you hear iran you hear nuclear weapons that's it well
Starting point is 00:48:12 there's also the assumption that if iran had nuclear weapons they would attack israel right or that if iran had nuclear weapons they would attack america you know which is it has not happened right because but i mean that dumb you know i mean it's kind of like you really think i don't think they're gonna unprovoked attack israel but you know the question of of nuclear sovereignty is one that i don't think a lot of candidates want to talk about you know yeah it's a tough thing i think they struggle a lot with the middle east and i don't think anyone ever feels like they have the right answer so they always get very blanketed straight like well because they don't want to say what the real answer
Starting point is 00:48:46 is which is I would do whatever we needed to do to continue the flow of oil into our country nobody wants to say that someone's just screaming OIL! he's one of them covered in oil you know how we want! just get carried with giant buckets of oil on top
Starting point is 00:49:02 of the stage really interesting take when they asked about climate change, which first of all, it was great that they asked about climate change. Thank God, because I don't think they brought it up on the first debate. Yeah, it's not that important. They did? Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Sorry, where did you come from? Yeah. You know, everybody knows that 12 years number. And then for Biden to still, or maybe it was Hickenlooper or Biden, I don't know, they're the same, to be like, we're going to get to carbon zero by 2030. And it's like, we're not going to have a, there's not going to be a planet. There's not going to be a planet by 2030.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Like all electric by, oh, it was Biden. He was like all electric cars by 2030. You know, that's like a little, it's not a lot, dude. Have you seen Miami lately? Right. They were in Miami, but no, he has not. Oh, they all drowned. He's got those tiny little squinty eyes.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Oh, wait, you think? They're all gone. We just lost our Democratic candidates. You think he was dead the whole time? Sixth sense style? Oh, yeah. Biden's been dead for 20 years. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:56 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, was murdered.

Starting point is 00:54:51 that you can rely on to like make you laugh it's also nostalgic because it's just you know it's a great show and then you always just reminds you of back when you were watching it and all the jokes you're like oh yes I love this episode but apparently there's like a younger generation of fans who started watching it on Netflix and are obsessed with it.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Have you seen all the Office Stan accounts on Instagram? There's so many Office meme accounts, so many more than you'd think for a show that went off the air like 10 fucking years ago. But there's a lot because kids have been like younger people started and finished watching it on Netflix. Yeah. Billie Eilish, which we were talking earlier about how, Sarge, you just always ask, is that Billie Eilish?
Starting point is 00:55:30 Whenever I see a young woman on television, I say, is that Billie Eilish? Because I don't know. My favorite thing. It is. I love Billie Eilish. All the young people I hang out with think I'm pretty sick. people I hang out with think I'm pretty sick. But she has
Starting point is 00:55:46 a song that has or she plays clips of The Office from... She plays the opening theme at her concerts. Yeah, plays the opening theme at her concerts and has clips from the show on her album. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:56:02 What clips? It's just like I don't remember, but it'll be like in the middle of a song. It'll cut back to the clip. Interesting. And yeah, what character are you? Who do you relate to the most? Take my quiz. Which office character are you?
Starting point is 00:56:17 This is fucking BuzzFeed. This is a BuzzFeed podcast now. Yeah. I'm Stanley. I'm Creed. You are fucking Creed. You are Creed. Quick to the point. now yeah um i'm stanley i'm creed oh you are you guys are so are creed quick i'm stanley i'm never impressed to the point you are stanley can you do a push-up
Starting point is 00:56:33 cooking mcs no uh you're a michael scott if i've ever seen one oh definitely man steve carell really let's just talk about how great he is. I love Steve Carell. He's amazing. Great, great, great comedic actor. Goddamn. So apparently, and I assumed that NBC could just take The Office back whenever they wanted, but they had to bid $100 million. So Netflix pays $90 million a year for the right to have The Office on Netflix. for the right to have The Office on Netflix. And to get it for their streaming platform,
Starting point is 00:57:11 NBCUniversal had to pay $100 million a year. That's crazy. Yeah, it's basically like all streaming. $100 million in $1. All streaming platforms are just becoming really expensive channels that we all have to pay for. Honestly, as long as they don't have ads, I'm kind of okay with it. Wait, so NBCUniversal, are they making, is it just like an app where you can go onto,
Starting point is 00:57:33 like how you would just sign onto your, like not streaming service, but the cable or whatever you pay for already? No, it's like a streaming. Oh, so you have to pay for that? It's like a Netflix. What the? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:45 What, the NBC thing? Afford all these. Yeah, NBCUniversal has a streaming thing that I think there's like some like- Oh, yeah, that's how you watch SNL online if you want to do that for whatever reason. But what they need to do if they're all separating is they all need to be $2.99. Yeah. Because I can't pay $15 a month for 16 different fucking streaming services. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Well, you got to pick and choose. You got to pick and choose on who's got the best content. This is America. I shouldn't have to pick and choose. This is what they should be debating about. What do you think of them taking the office out on Netflix? One or two answers. One or two words, please.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Bullshit. Lit. What? I am not voting for unconscionable. So Vanity Fair was speculating as to why the office is so popular with the younger generation. They were saying that because it started in 2005, which is Facebook was just getting going and the iPhone was still two years away. which is Facebook was just getting going and the iPhone was still two years away. And so like the culture was shifting and the offices not just like doesn't just happen to take place at that time. It's about that shift since it takes place in a paper company.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Yeah. Remember when the whole arc about Ryan and Dunder Mifflin 2.0 like the website and how he faked all the... They did an Enron thing. They did kind of an Enron arc. And for anyone born after the year 2000, that's just been your whole fucking life. Yeah. Yeah, I guess I'm more of a Ryan. What, scamming the company that works for you? No, my hair went blonde because of the sun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:20 I was like, no, it was the sun. So the rest of this episode is just going to be us quoting The Office. Yeah. Jokes. But I think that's the point. It's like, you know what? It's so universal, NBC universal, that like-
Starting point is 00:59:33 It's so NBC universal. I'm being paid on the side. No matter the generation, like, you still can watch it. Like, it's- Because also- It's pretty evergreen. The concept of- Yeah, it's very evergreen.
Starting point is 00:59:44 And the concept of the fact that you're like oh this is a paper company like in the back of your mind you're like this will never survive like this company is like such a crash and burn sort of situation that it's almost the whole the entire concept is hilarious independently owned paper yeah like small paper also i guess it's kind of cool to see those actors who now have all had Botox, like what they used to look like. Who's had Botox? Please don't make me. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 01:00:13 I mean, come on. Mindy Kaling, come on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Even Stephen Carell has probably had some Botox. Stephen. Mr. Carell to you. Well, you know what else never gets old, guys? Cocaine. I knew you wanted to talk about what else never gets old, guys? Cocaine.
Starting point is 01:00:26 I knew you wanted to talk about this. It's just funny. The headline here that Jack has written is, Cocaine is back. Cocaine is back, baby. Where did it go, Jack? So, Yahoo. This is a Yahoo headline,
Starting point is 01:00:37 which I thought was pretty funny. Do you read Yahoo? I can't wait for my mom to email me this article about how cocaine is back. That's where I get my news where do you kids look cocaine is back blame technology for it
Starting point is 01:00:51 was the yahoo finance thing oh yeah you are such a millennial I go to vice it's fucking badass well man that's the thing cocaine never left cause we've been on vice and you've been on yahoo we went to saudi arabia with cocaine Oh man, so that's the thing, cocaine never left, because we've been on Vice and you've been on Yahoo. We went to Saudi Arabia with cocaine.
Starting point is 01:01:12 But it reads, this article reads like an ad for cocaine. They explain that like, it's like socially well adapted people get it from dealers who are like the Uber of drug delivery. What? And they say that- That's just a delivery service. Right. That is a thing though i have been you used to not be able to get cocaine delivered to your house i think you used to have
Starting point is 01:01:30 to go to your cocaine dealer's house so now cocaine dealers come to your house yeah there is they have a number i've witnessed people who have rolled up in like really nice cars like over the top cars where you're like that's's a drug dealer because like the rims are made out of gold. Get out with a briefcase of cocaine. Yeah, and they like sell, they'll come to your place
Starting point is 01:01:49 and sell you drugs and I'm not saying I've ever done this because I have no interest in knowing people like that but like I've seen it and I've been like, that's your,
Starting point is 01:01:57 that's how it works now? Yeah, because it's so crazy. Those guys are just Uber drivers. They're just Uber drivers who did really well. I'm going to start asking my Uber drivers if they have cocaine just for research. They definitely do. The article also talks about the fact
Starting point is 01:02:14 that it's stronger now than it's ever been. They're like, it's purer now than ever because production is so ramped up. I guess because the FARC is no longer, like the Colombian guerrilla groups are no longer fucking with people in the mountains of Colombia
Starting point is 01:02:32 so they're able to like farm more cocaine well just like get more of it out and so now like nobody's cutting their cocaine. Supporting local economies Right no one's stepping on their cocaine This is a micro loan. Every time I buy cocaine, it's a micro loan to South America. But then, so- That's interesting.
Starting point is 01:02:49 One thing that I was curious about is it said, so the numbers said that it's up to 3% of people use cocaine. 3% of people in America? Yeah. Have used cocaine or use cocaine regularly? I don't know. That's the question. But that seems low to me. So it's cleaner now because it's just like less regulated? I am confused. No, there's just more of it. Oh, there's more of it. But in the sense that like the... Supply and demand. There's more supply. It's kind of like how Oregon has too much weed. Yeah, exactly. Columbia's like, we have way too much cocaine. Exactly. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Yeah. Huh. Like the 3% made me think of this study this dude did where he basically dug into American landfills like it was an archaeological dig. He's just like one guy with a shovel, right? Well, he was an Arizona professor, but it was basically just him and his grad students. Who were so bummed. Like, what? Hey, kids, want to dig a landfill?
Starting point is 01:03:53 But the stuff he found, one of the big findings he found was that these self-reported surveys are such bullshit. And we eat way more junk food and drink way more booze and smoke more than the self-reported surveys would indicate. Well, yeah, I think we're naturally programmed to make ourselves always appear better than we really are. Right. So even if it's anonymous. Also, when you drink a lot, you forget how much you drank. That's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:22 When you eat enough Flamin' Hot Cheetos, you tend to black out. Yeah, it's crudy. Scattered around you. Yeah. That's crazy. Cocaine, man. That's crazy that it's back. Because like when it was
Starting point is 01:04:34 in the 70s and 80s and then it left and came back. Found all the empty cocaine boxes in there. The empty cocaine bottles. Yeah. Why do you think it's back, Jack? I think it's the, like it it's availability yeah it's being cheaper and more potent probably and also i mean maybe
Starting point is 01:04:54 the fact that this is an entire generation of kids who grew up with uppers like at the ready maybe it's the same thing as like why heroin uses on the upswing because opioids like got a lot of people hooked on opiates so you know if you can't get a prescription for your chosen up or maybe cocaine is the cheaper choice yeah that makes sense because a lot of people who do like oxy or something eventually get to like heroin it makes sense it's just like it's just the street version of the prescribed pill yeah how can you ever really know the truth though with like these sort of studies like it's so crazy because i feel like i would never tell the truth if someone's like are you on cocaine and they're like well it's in your blood i'd be like well that's silly how did that get there i would just never want to
Starting point is 01:05:44 admit to just like doing a ton of cocaine. Yeah, I mean, I think that's what was so interesting about that sociological study. I don't know, man. In my experience people that do cocaine love to talk about it. But to you, not to random survey. Not to a doctor who's like, dude, your nose is
Starting point is 01:06:00 bleeding. Don't worry about it, dude. Yeah, the rate of cocaine use has gone up a lot, but it's all Artie Lang. It's entirely Artie Lang. The spike. Artie Lang, Stephen King? Stephen King. Single-handedly responsible. Stephen Hawking.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Stephen King. Do you imagine Stephen Hawking on cocaine? Representative Steve King. Yes, him too. Well, guys. Wait, who? Trump does, guys. Wait, who? Trump does uppers as well, right? Yeah, Trump has been on uppers since he got a prescription for them in the 80s, but he'd never do illegal drugs. He would just do uppers and is clearly snorting.
Starting point is 01:06:35 I wonder if he's ever done the Stevie Nicks route and had cocaine blown up his butt. Whoa, powder? Yeah. Yeah. Whoa. Wait. How do you do that? You've never had cocaine blown up your ass?
Starting point is 01:06:46 I feel like it's genuinely unnecessary And it's like when you're being a little too That's when I think of like Minions like you're doing too much You're doing too much You never need to do that Minions you know how they're always just doing too much Like that's how I imagine
Starting point is 01:07:03 That's how minions would do cocaine If you're blowing cocaine up your butt You're doing too much they're like like that's how i imagine if that's how minions would do cocaine up your butt you're doing too much like unnecessary you're trying too hard yeah it's too much you don't it's like when kavanaugh was like boofing beer it's like you're doing too much dude you're doing too much i still think that's an underrated aspect of that story that yeah he kept saying that he loved beer. Well, no, that got brought up. But like people were like, yeah, no, what he was really talking about was like drinking beer through his ass. And like, that's a thing.
Starting point is 01:07:35 You don't need to do these things. Boofing is butt chugging, they said. So did he do that as a young pledge or whatever? No, I don't know. Did he say he boofed beer? Apparently it's like you can get drunker that way. Is that what it was? I think it's that you get drunk faster or something.
Starting point is 01:07:49 That's what I heard about vodka-soaked tampons, which is also a bad idea. Don't do it. Yeah. Yeah, see, again, you're doing too much. Well, they're trying to get away with the breath thing. People do that shit because they think that it won't show up on a breathalyzer.
Starting point is 01:08:03 That's why people put liquor in their ass. Guys, you're going to see me next week on Shark Week, and I'm coming out with a butthole breathalyzer. You will no longer get away with this, young kids. Sharks. Mark Cuban is in. All right, sharks. We all hate getting into our car and blowing into the breathalyzer.
Starting point is 01:08:22 But what if you didn't have to? All right. Sorry, June. It's been a pleasure having you. It's been a pleasure being here. Thank you, Jack. Actually, I guess I go to Anna first. She's our guest.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Anna, it's been great having you. I guess. Thanks. Thanks, I guess. Whatever. Where can people find you? I'm at Anna Hosny on Twitter. Let's skip all the hubba-ba-shubba-dubba-hubba-la-baloo.
Starting point is 01:08:44 I want to read some Marianne Williamson tweets that are hilarious. Okay. Yeah, please. At Guy Branum says Marianne Williamson is the only candidate bold enough to propose a witchcraft-based healthcare system. Then we have another one that says, this is from, excuse me, at Pablo Torre, Pablo S. Torre, Marianne Williamson is doing an incredible job for someone who is obviously digesting an edible on television. This is from Jason O. Gilbert at Gilbert Jason O.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Pete Buttigieg goes to shake Marianne Williamson's hand, but she's already disappeared on her lector and sits alone origami crane. Katie Stahl had a good tweet about the uh debates i mean this actually happened but i had totally forgotten about this what's the first thing you would do as president defeat donald trump were you listening like what the fuck there's another one from alexandra petrierie Dishes. We are all just ideas in the mind of Marianne Williamson. And if she stops believing in us, even for a second, we'll all vanish. Right. Chelsea said if Marianne Williamson can teach the enormous tortoise beneath the world to love, it just might end climate change. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Someone says Marianne Williamson from Maureen Johnson at Maureen Johnson. Marianne Williamson is like a sentient glass of Chardonnay. That's so good. A sentient glass of Chardonnay. Marianne Williamson is a Vicodin. Yeah. Someone said it's the Daily Tricks. That Daily Tricks said
Starting point is 01:10:19 Marianne Williamson is the best thing the onion has ever done. Anna, do you want to go see her at the Saban Theater? Honestly, I would. I've heard about this for years. Wait, so what is this? She does weekly talks in Los Angeles. She's a self-help person, basically.
Starting point is 01:10:34 She's a spiritual guru to Oprah and a self-help advisor. So every Monday night at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, she has a talk. She has a book that's not called The Secret, but it's almost called The Secret. It's called like The Secrets or something. So my tweets are going to be actual old tweets from Marianne Williamson. Thank you. Please do. Sarajun, where can people find you? People can find me
Starting point is 01:10:56 at Sarajun, H-E-Y-S-A-R-A-J-U-N-E on Venmo and Instagram. You can also follow my stand-up comedy show at High Priestess Comedy. We're on Instagram. And you can follow some of my work with Means TV at Means underscore TV on Twitter. And I think also on Instagram.

Yeah, I talked about this before when I was on your show. Yeah, no, it's actually awesome. Yeah, it's pretty dope.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Please give us some money. It's V-dope. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Yes, I'm going... I really enjoyed all of the debate tweets from Senator Mike Revell's account. I particularly enjoyed Marianne Williamson is charging up her aura when the moderators finally let her speak. What she says will be very powerful. Excited to see the Spanish sentence she will say. This one goes out to Marianne Williamson's aura.
Starting point is 01:12:02 this one goes out to Marianne Williamson's aura so Ellie Hall Ellie B. Hall put together a thread amazing old tweets by presidential candidate Marianne Williamson yin is feminine, earth, yang is masculine, sky when God is seen as he, the soul is seen as she just archetypes, spirit impregnate soul
Starting point is 01:12:26 uh that was the end of that tweet wow another ask not what you can do for your soul but what your soul can do for your yang another tweet was everyone feels on some level like an alien in this world because we are we come from another realm of consciousness and long for home. Yeah, she's pretty great, man. She's got a lot going on. Honestly, I think she has many followers. I said this, she's like a female Tony Robbins without the abuse and seems to understand that human beings should not be abused, basically. Yeah, Gillibrand, I think, is extremely jealous of marian williamson's uh influence among among women and followers because gillibrand is kind of running on this whole like
Starting point is 01:13:11 i'm here for women like women should vote for me you know like i'm here to protect women i'm here to give universal pre-k you know like all all that she talks a lot about her paid leave plan and stuff and i think she you know she just effortlessly swaying, dancing with the winds of public opinion, just feeling auras and she longs to be on a ticket with her. Another debate tweet that I liked was from
Starting point is 01:13:36 Aparna Nancharla tweeted it feels like Andrew Yang is going to leave early to beat traffic. He really did seem like he was just He's like, ooh, shit. And she also tweeted, I feel like they're adding candidates to the stage in real time,
