If they don't give me social distance,
I just walk away. They can beg and they can plead, but they can't wash their hands.
Because I am a little Zamboni and that is all right.
Because we are living in a dystopian world, and I am just a quarantine girl.
Oh, gang, my phone is covered in guacamole.
It's my fault.

Okay.
I don't know why that's your quarantine name, but not yours in particular.
I just don't know why that makes sense as a construction.
This is one meme I don't like, you guys.
It makes as much sense as anything else right now.
For the record, did you not hear me say what the construction was?
No, I did.
I just don't.
I don't like it, Miles.
I hate it.
I think it stinks.
Okay?
What would you like better for a way to construct a core name?
I don't know why we need a core name.
Come on, meme god. Why do we need a core name yeah come on meme god why do we need a quarantine name i've seen it i've been seeing it on twitter and and i'm asking myself
here what is jack what jack's quarantine name is jack that's right everyone can tell me their quarantine name and it's just their like

quarantine name is jack but jack used as joe biden uses it as just a nickname for everybody
um right all right guys well molly we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment
first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.
We're going to talk about Pinterest, which is, I think I can speak for everyone on this podcast when I say it's our lifeline, you guys.
It's how we're staying in touch with the world.
It's literally all I have going on.
It's all I have. We're going to talk about
the historic impact of other
pandemics and
what this
pandemic's impact might
be. We're going to talk about the NFL.
We're going to talk about Ron DeSantis.
We're going to talk about
Big Tobacco
stepping up to the plate.
Netflix,
Wayne Brady, and some quarantine activities that we can recommend.
But first, Molly, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Wow, great question.
Thank you.
Last night, I feel like Miles will like this.
Last night, I was looking up what happened to everybody involved in the jerkin movement oh
what is the jerk what did happen oh my god dude the dance craze was a uh a rap genre from the
2000s that was involved skinny jeans and a dance called jerkin why do you buy the most the most famous
person who became there used to be like circles outside of high school that we did everyone be
jerking before homeroom so there's this rapper named big clit who is like a new metal kind of
rapper who's new but then i looked her up and found out she had a jerkin past she oh reinvented
herself as like a soundcloud rapper but there's all these pictures of her being like the number
one jerkin dance crew gal wow with the vans on too oh yeah okay gotta make sure wearing a shirt
i only date guys who wear skinny jeans what what is. Was there a song that broke through from the jerking movement?
Well, YG, I think, was the big crossover.
Yeah, You're a Jerk was the one.
Yeah, I think You're a Jerk.
You're a Jerk.
You never heard that song?
That was pretty much all I heard.
You're a Jerk.
You're a Jerk.
Okay.
I guess with the pack, did they count as jerking?
Yeah, the pack was kind of jerking yeah
so yeah pink dollars pink dollars was my favorite got my vans on but they look like sneakers you
don't remember that song jack you know you know nope you know you remember the pack homie okay
oh of course of course got my vans on but they look like sneakers that was like two dance two
dance circles that would take place outside of Brockton High would be like the Jerkin
circle and then I think later
it would be the Soulja Boy
circle.
The Soulja Boy circle went on for a long
time. The like you and then
people would be traveling like
a full football field on a single
you. Okay. Well, you got to crank that.
I just heard Soulja Boy is
making a lot of money because he
started a soap company is soldier boy a flat earther or am i thinking of someone else no
soldier boy likes to do like low-level technology scams like he had like a hoverboard that was like
burning people up and like headphones that didn't work like that's kind of soldier a gaming system
had a whole console that he was trying to sell he's actually he's a very he has yeah he has there's like a really good daily beast article
about like all the scams of soldier boys technological endeavors yeah he's moved on
to becoming a full-time scammer what is something molly that you think is underrated? Underrated?
Going outside.
Going outside.
This is the second day in a row that I think we've had going outside or something similar.
So what are you doing?
How are you going outside?
My brother said he was like,
going outside now is like going to Las Vegas.
That's pretty good. It's that stimulating it's true i go outside and i'm like the sky is blue come on oh yeah i am so starved
for social interactions with anybody who's not my family that i like just give the strongest eye
contact to like the mailman,
like mailmen that I've never seen before.
Just anybody.
I'm just like, hey, friend, how are you?
Yeah, I saw a person this morning
and I was really embarrassing.
Yeah, they were just like,
I think it was a mutual thing
where we both said hello,
but it was too loud.
I think my volume modulation is-
Just startling. She was like, hi. I was like too loud like i think my my volume modulation is like she was like hi i was
like hello and then we just did our quick transaction i'm starting to like treat different
parts of my house like like different parts of the city well i'm like nah nah like don't don't go
don't go to the kitchen till later that's like the that's like the store uh you're gonna you
don't want to go to the kitchen after dark it's pretty uh yeah and then be like oh i'm gonna hit the club which means
smoke a joint like in my front yard uh and then like go back inside i mean i'm starting to like
really make the most out of it like keep it you know keep some spaces sacred as if they're places
i don't normally go to do you guys have someone on your street who's just like kind of hanging out in the front yard like all day every day yeah
yeah there's like kind of it's not who you'd expect too it's like a guy who's like a i think
he's like an agent or something and he's just like sitting out there taking phone calls and
just waving at everybody. Oh, wow.
Just needs the eye contact.
That sounds like something that would happen in the first act of a horror movie.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Just some UTA motherfucker like, hi.
There's an older nom vet who lives down my street, and he's always angry at the kids on my street normally,
when they are riding bikes and shit.
And now he's just like...
Is it Clint Eastwood?
No, just another guy.
He's got his sleeveless tee on
and he's just practicing the same golf swing
for hours in his front yard.
Just back and forth.
He's just, I don't know, out here cycling.
Miles, that's how you get good.
That's how you get good.
Maybe I'll become the person who sits outside.
But outside is great.
I spent an hour and a half collecting leaves with my three-year-old the other day.
I had no idea.
That's so nice.
Yeah, but they're not good leaves.
I looked back at them after the fact.
Not great leaves.
We were just fascinated by whatever. Yeah, you're like, what the fuck are these? What are these? These are B-grade leaves. I looked back at them after the fact. Not great leaves. We were just fascinated by whatever.
Yeah, you're like, what the fuck are these?
What are these?
These are B-grade leaves.
But at the time, I was blown away.
I was like, look at that one.
That's a great leaf.
But yeah, I think it's just...
Hey, get over here.
You make bad decisions out there when you're outside
because it is like Vegas.
I think that's exactly right.
It does.
Stay at the club picking up leaves for too long. Too late.
We got
back. My wife was like, where the
fuck were you guys?
You don't understand. There was this
elm tree.
We did too many leaves.
We had all these plans that we were going to make a piece of art with the leaves,
and then we got back, and I was like, I can't glue these to anything.
Really?
Yeah.
Watching my dog take a shit is now one of the highlights of my day.
I'll go out, watch Sonny drop a big...
This morning, I cheered.
I was like, yeah!
That's just a couple of spicy nuggets from my little guy.
Best part of the day.
Have you guys seen animals taking over?
No.
What do you mean?
Just like the coyotes are getting really, really brave
because they know that we are not out in the streets anymore.
So they're just kind of hanging out a lot more.
I drove through Griffith Park a couple days ago and there were just deer all over all the golf course.
Ooh, I like that.
I thought Animals Taking Over was a Fox show.
No, that's when they fight.
Animation domination.
The animals are taking over animals that's when that's when they're like who could win in a fight like gordon ramsey or a bear
seth mcfarland is a horny coyote
but if if nobody has an animals taking over Instagram, somebody needs to make that immediately because that is I'm sure there's that's everywhere right now in the country.
People need to do that.
There was one viral story like in Scotland or whatever, where a bunch of sheep and like rams had just wild goats and shit are in the streets like laying in the street like this is our fucking town now.
Yeah, I think it's I think it's Wales. I i didn't recognize that but yeah it's so cool it's just like like wild
sheep running through the streets swans came back to the venice canal the animals know that we are
we fucked up yeah and then there are also uh like fake versions of that story where they're like, there are dolphins swimming through the Venice Canal now.
Sometimes we need those stories
to be true to give us some modicum
of hope in these dumb times.
Like, yeah, man, I like that.
Definitely the birds have been just
like, yeah, we know
what's going on.
The birds for sure.
The birds have known. The birds have been trying to tell us.
We sound like we've completely lost our tether from reality.
Right now, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
The birds definitely know.
The birds know.
I think it goes without saying that the birds know what's going on.
I mean, I feel stupid for not listening to them.
If the birds wanted to pick a time to do a The Birds,
this would be the perfect time.
Strike now while the iron is hot.
Yeah.
That movie rules.
It rules.
My fifth grade teacher showed us that movie on a half day once,
and I think lived to regret it,
because there was a million parents that were like,
my child will no longer look at a bird.
Why would you?
That's a little too young for the birds.
Yeah, he's like, well, they're trying to tell us things.
Your child woke up.
You should really heed the wisdom of the birds.
It's a cautionary tale.
That's me every day.
Molly, what is something you think is overrated?
Overrated?
Right now, I'm feeling like Netflix and streaming things are overrated
because they cannot fill the endless hole inside of me
that needs to not be bored all the time.
Do you guys find that you just have a limit for screen time,
that you can only watch so much stuff on a screen
before your brain is like, fuck this, anything else?
Absolutely.
I thought in the beginning I was like, here we go.
My butt is about to rot off as I just completely mainline TV
through my fucking eyes.
And now I'm like, seriously, just being like,
I'm going to put my headphones on and pretend I'm in the rainforest
and like outside.
I like that.
That sounds great.
I keep going back to this, and I know it makes Jamie really sad how I keep
escaping through my headphone apps,
but I'm telling you the portal app.
I just can't.
When I'm in that Brazilian,
that Amazon rainforest and I'm just smoking my weed.
That's like,
that's my new Netflix.
Did you guys ever have tapes of the rainforest?
There is a store called the nature company that used to just sell like
forest cassettes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah know this oh yeah i remember the nature company
store uh but yeah i think i don't know if it what it is is like i almost want like really random
esoteric content like i'm i get it like all the main shit is there but like i want to watch like
i'm sure new york undercover is out there but i want
to watch new york undercover again i started watching living single again but like i feel
like the things that i have patience for is like stuff from way like shit i really forgot about
living single is perfect i started watching um i feel like no not enough people are talking about
nora from queens it's really good the the new Awkwafina show on Comedy Central.
It's good.
Recommend.
People just don't talk about
good shows when they're good
now apparently.
The Last OG. I'm totally blown away.
The Last OG is amazing.
It's so good.
I think maybe just because
everything's so fucked up, I just want to watch comfort things of my childhood so like a couple days ago i watched saved by the
bell hawaiian style oh hell yeah yeah i love that which is on hulu just so everyone knows the saved
by the bell mini movie five episode things are on all on hulu las vegas oh that um when they go to hawaii the hotel to
this day blows my mind how luxurious that place was didn't have like little boats and shit
you gotta watch it and find out i'm i'm not gonna lie it's a little bit racist but also
i can't imagine anything from the 90s racist with its heart in the right place in a very 90s way.
Oh, right.
Oh, Clinton era.
Let's just say a tribe thinks Screech is the reincarnation of an ancient god.
Oh, that's right.
But then they get into tribal land rights at the end, and they're like, this hotel's built on our tribal land.
Saved by the Bell Gang's going to help you liberate it.
So again,
and did they liberate the land?
Yeah.
Oh,
okay.
Yeah.
Five episodes through,
through just bloody uprising.
I remember if I remember it correctly,
just bloody uprising,
such as going into hotel rooms,
dressed as Wayne and Garth to make people think the luxury hotel has bad service.
I was thinking about trying to track down some Degrassi.
Ooh, yeah.
That'd be a nice comfort show.
A lot of things I think are going to be comfort shows
end up having Donald Trump in them.
Just peeks up out of nowhere, right?
No, for real.
For real.
Like Sex and the City, he shows up in like the third episode or something.
You're just like, come on.
And then I was watching the Little Rascals movie directed by Penelope Spheeris.
That was another like, hey, here's something that can't possibly remind me of now.
And then like the rich kid's dad
is Donald Trump.
I was like, come on.
Oh my God.
Not good.
I found Veep has been,
rewatching Veep episodes
while I'm falling asleep
has been a weirdly comforting,
I don't know why it's comforting
because it just reminds you
of everything that's wrong.
But it is comforting to me
to have on in the background.
Curb Your Enthusiasm this season has been very comforting.
I'm like ready for Curb Your Enthusiasm again.
It came all the way back around where I was like, yeah, sure.
Bring it back.
Like it just has nothing to do with now.
It takes place in like that New York soundstage, 90s, where Larry David lives,
where people go to the newsstand all the time.
Coffee shops are really into scones.
But yeah, the whole plot's just been about Larry opening a coffee shop
despite another guy.
Really low stakes.
His celebrity stay-at-home-in-quarantine announcement
is the only celebrity video of that nature
that I've been able to stomach at all.
I agree.
It sounded just like when that video of Bernie
from the other day, too, where he was like,
get further away from each other.
That's what I want.
He's like, you know I would never do something like this.
Somebody's making me do it.
When an old Jewish man who might be related to me
admonishes me on something like that,
I'm like, you're right, you're right.
Go inside.
What was I thinking?
Finally, what is a myth?
What's something people think is true,
you know to be false, or vice versa?
What a good one.
Why is this so hard
a myth miles doesn't know how to read minds good perfect uh all right let's take a quick hold on
hold on that was a great segue jack into my new program that i'm offering thank you molly
uh i also read minds which is why i knew how to do that segue. Right.
And, you know, I'm coming out with a self-help tape, multi-level.
Well, actually, I said that part out loud.
Sign your friends up for for wealth benefits program.
So more on that later.
That good loaded phrase.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we
push record, right?
And this season we're taking an even
bigger bite out of the most delicious
food and its history.
Saying that the most popular cocktail is
the margarita, followed by the mojito
from Cuba, and the piña colada
from Puerto Rico. So
all of these things. We thank Latin
culture. There's a mention
of blood sausage
in Homer's Odyssey
that dates back
to the 9th century B.C.
B.C.?
I didn't realize
how old the hot dog was.

It's right here in black and white in print.
A lion.
An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch.
As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on.
Why would we want to be the losing team?
I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies.
When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,
these charter schools were exempt from that.
Bigger than a flag or mascot.
You have to be ready for serious backlash.
Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And Pinterest has taken a bit of a central role
in how people are existing, I guess.
I don't know.
To be honest, this has not affected me in any way. But I think it says here on our doc that there's been all kinds of increased search traffic on Pinterest.
Well, Pinterest is easy because you can search something and it'll be like, give me the picture answer to a thing I'm looking for.
I don't need text, but give me some imagery or some other things that'll help
out. So a lot of people have been looking for all kinds of things because everyone is adjusting to
this new way of living and parenting and looking for strategies on how to make that work. Naturally,
things like how to set up a home workstation or how to create a work environment when you have
roommates and everyone's working from home. things like that make sense but then there are other ones that are kind of also
interesting things that have gone up exponentially over three thousand percent increase in searching
for how to clean bathroom sink on pinterest okay that's actually that sounds helpful how do you
do you have some good i have had that happen where pinterest things come up when i search for like
like back stretches things like that.
Stretches you can do when you're sitting at home all day trapped inside.
And then it'll be like a nice little drawing.
Wait, you're saying Pinterest has read your mind and asked and presented you with that?
Correct.
Also, Pinterest, in my good graces, because they were one of the first people to make that announcement being like, we're not going to let plantations be on wedding inspiration boards anymore.
Oh, is that that?
Yeah.
And everybody was like, wow, Pinterest holding down a stronger line than virtually any other website on the whole racism thing.
Don't you love when someone does the least they could possibly do?
Yeah.
Erupting in a standing ovation across the globe. Right. Don't you love when someone does the least they could possibly do? And you're just blown away.
Yeah, erupting in a standing ovation across the globe. Right, like a week ago when everybody was like,
I wish Olive Garden was the president.
Yeah.
To quote Keanu Reeves in Hardball,
I'm blown away by your ability to show up.
Sorry.
Definitely worth it.
Go ahead.
No, just other things that have been increased.
4,000% increased in indoor beekeeping searches.
Indoor beekeeping?
Indoor.
That's pretty metal if you're indoor beekeeping.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what, I guess,
but don't they have to get out to be amongst the, whatever.
I don't know much about bees.
Other things, how to grow spinach from scraps.
Yeastless bread recipes up 4,400%.
Garden obstacle course kids is up nearly 2,000%.
Good sleep tips are up over 7,500%.
And calm during chaos quotes are up over 6,000%.
A couple questions.
How to grow spinach from scraps?
Are they just saying taking spinach leaves
and putting them in the ground
and assuming that's going to grow spinach,
or am I mistaken?
I don't know.
Has anyone ever grown something?
I've never grown anything.
You can regrow it, I think,
if you have maybe the stalk left, rather's just like the leaf that's just funny that this is like pinterest preppers
yeah because like you know like asian moms do the thing with green onions where like you cut
the stalks off but you can like keep like the white part and just kind of regenerate from there
oh okay i don't know if it's just Asians, but I see it a lot with Asians.
Teslin Trimnicko knows a lot about planting.
She's got a garden.
She knows how to do things like take a part of a plant and make a new plant.
Propagating?
Propagating.
We all are going to have to learn how to do that.
So thanks, Pinterest.
Yeah.
But the calm during the chaos quotes seems like a very Pinterest-y thing where you're like, I need to see some nice calligraphy against a nice palette that'll say, in the times when it is most dark, we'll learn to appreciate even the smallest bit of light.
I don't know if that's uplifting.
This feels Pinterest adjacent.
There was a Ina Gartenina garden i guess went live because you
know at this point why not she went live and she was like hey everybody here's a cocktail you can
make she went live at 9 30 a.m and just like poured a bottle of vodka into a bucket and
was drinking out of you're just like yeah sure honestly that's a public service she can offer us
is just like
to do that
that's that wasp
that real wasp shit
gotta respect it
she and Jeffrey
are just black out
in their men
well have you guys
been following
Martha Stewart's
personal account
it's also amazing
you know Martha Stewart
I'm also like
she did time
so like she
has been cooped up before.
Her personal account is kind of goth and funny always.
I guess she had a bunch of people staying at her house when the lockdown happened.
They're just continuing to stay at her house.
She keeps being like, I jokingly refer to them as my prisoners.
She keeps being like, me and my detainees are enjoying this lovely dinner tonight
but she also keeps being like i i'm so bored i like i wish i could go out and do something
just like anyone else i've always admired how kind of unhinged and like uh misspelled and error
prone prone her twitter is it's like she yeah like she lets you know that
while she may care about how she presents in real space she does not give a fuck what you think
about her spelling and i love it and that's what true power is that is true power true it's true
and calling your friends detainees i like i mean i think martha stewart i think she's
like the kind i think she's maybe actually done this she's done that sort of thing where she'll
like tweet out something that she meant to google like that kind of energy right that's right it'll
just be like how to use nest cam you know or something like that right yeah yeah that's right
Nest Cam, you know, or something like that. Right.
Yeah, yeah.
That's right.
Who among us?
Yeah.
Who among us hasn't tweeted out how to use Nest Cam?
Oh, scary.
Checking in with the pandemic we're all living through, guys.
There's a couple articles about where we are, just how pandemics have influenced history
that I thought was somewhat interesting.
There was a story about how the cholera pandemic
of one of the centuries before the 20th century
that I don't distinguish between,
but it led to Russian imperial forces
kind of pressing down on the people to try to keep them from rioting, which led to uprisings, which led to further pressure from above, which eventually led to the Bolshevik uprising in the early 20th century.
So that was something I hadn't really thought of that initially started with a pandemic.
And there was another article about how bad our health care system is
right now and they put it in terms of the economic like damage that it does to individuals and just
like our economy in general is uh worse than the penalties put on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, which was...
Sick!
That's the thing that we all think of as the obvious culprit for the rise of Nazism.
But I don't know.
People throughout history have kind of turned on doctors, and I'm hoping that's not how
we choose to funnel our anger in this.
I have actually been slightly heartened by the fact that the wellness influencers are taking this seriously.
Yeah.
Because I thought that was a real crossroads for them to be like, are they going to be like, when they give us a vaccine, do we want it?
Yeah.
What science history will they be on?
But they're all like oh no no no
like this is real
stay home everybody
and like drink all your
cordyceps
you know
like they're still
they're still grifting
but they're still
although Gwyneth Paltrow
did post that picture
where she was wearing
a mask and gloves
and was like
just got back from
the Brentwood Farmers Market
I know
right right
and then a week later
that story about the Brentwood Farmers Market
still being a huge crowd.
Shut it down.
Catherine Schwarzenegger demanding that the city shut it down.
That was a funny headline.
I heard that on Who Weekly this morning.
Yeah, them just being like,
Catherine Schwarzenegger demands this of Eric Garcetti.
And you're like, oh my God,
is it going to be something amazing? Is Catherine Schwarzenegger demands this of Eric Garcetti and you get you're like oh my god is it really is it
going to be something amazing is Catherine Schwarzenegger secretly cool and then she's
just like close the farmer's market which is right but it's just I think it's not that she's cool
she's married to Chris Pratt now and she's not anyone who's super super Christiany but I think
like Arnold Schwarzenegger she's like cooler than you'd expect
based on what you imagine
you know like when Schwarzenegger
was just like more of a libertarian
than a right winger just in some
ways where you were like huh
didn't know that guy
the lowest of the low bars
it's like the president and anytime
he does something that isn't
actively killing people
on a public stage people like his approval
rating shoots through the roof right well i keep thinking like what if schwarzenegger president
schwarzenegger was like the less bad timeline you know right yeah that happened i was like oh shit
like everything's fucked up now uh little did but then i, well, if he were president, the guy who seems
like an actual Austrian
Nazi type guy even more,
at least we'd get better environmental
protections. It would be too on the nose
for him to actually turn into a Nazi.
Yeah, he's like
a right
winger who also wants to smoke pot
and have some
environmental protections, aka libertarians.a. libertarians.
Also, he can't be president
because he wasn't born here.
But anyways, I would be fine
with the public outrage
going towards insurance executives
and, you know, grifters.
But let's leave doctors alone, please.
Are any of these executives
who are like,
now their plan's coming out for these airlines,
like American Airlines and United,
to just completely fuck over their employees despite them getting this bailout money.
Yeah.
That's where I think people need to start.
I mean, at the very least,
I think people are starting realizing
the powers that are crushing them above them
in terms of the system that we're in, them uh in terms of like the system that
we're in and i think maybe that will that will lead to something and i also it brings up the
argument of like this might be a good time i mean if if obviously the world were perfect where you
could completely go after the for-profit health care insurance system we have and try and make
it work for everyone because this is a moment where like
we need sort of the same sort of protocols and policies for people as we face a pandemic
that's what i'm thinking might be the like the outcome of of this is that that just gets torn
to the ground because it's it's really being exposed as completely fucked and unprepared for anything like this.
Well, we didn't get to this yesterday. I don't know if it was touched on in Nightguys, but
just, I mean, the relationship between like workers and employers right now, it's just like,
it is the issue. I mean, aside, it's a public health issue and then it's like bringing to the forefront
how important it is to treat workers ethically or things absolutely fall to shit in situations
like this where like um the the whole situation with the amazon warehouse worker who was rightfully
so bringing up the fact that hey social distancing is not being in in like enforced here workers are not
being protected um the whole you know they're they're lying in terms of like oh we're we're
doing everything we can and then that person who brought it up and tried to organize was fired for
quote unquote like not social distancing at work it's just all such bullshit that like the companies
that get assistance i mean it
almost goes without saying but like none of it is is or very little of it is going to actually
assisting workers it's just like taking the check and um and moving on well that's why i think a lot
of the people in congress are saying like this is probably just the beginning of multiple stimulus
packages we're going to have to put together because obviously the money that they're giving people figure out how to make that flow more equitably
and relieve the pressure on the people who don't deserve it and ask people or organizations that
have tons of billions of dollars in their coffers to say, yeah, you know what, dude,
you're going to have to fucking take a hit here. I'm sorry. There's no way this works where
your nebulous bank account that's attached to these like five people in a C-suite isn't going to go down because we'd rather pass that pain on to millions.
Also, like we've seen now that money isn't real.
You know, they're just like, oh, here's a trillion dollars.
Oh, they kept saying like, oh, how we pay for health care.
And it's like, no, you just pulled a trillion dollars out of nowhere
to bail out like cruise ships.
Really, we can make money appear when we want to and the
other thing is it's just like techno feudalism clearly is not working you know like here we
have this moment where all these fucking billionaires who don't get taxed so that they
can like share their wealth have the opportunity to do that and to be like a hero in a public health crisis and
none of them they all
are just crickets from everybody
look at Bloomberg and Tom Steyer
they were so rah rah and shit a fucking
month ago motherfucker you might
as well you think they took a spaceship
to another fucking galaxy
also just like think about all the money they like flush
down the drain on the Bloomberg campaign
just just yeah all the money they flushed down the drain on the Bloomberg campaign.
Just, yeah, where the money goes is clearly not subject to logic.
And it's just obvious now that if it is not subject to law of some such, it's like such cynical, uh,
just based on like a misunderstanding,
uh,
like they know that people think of the government as a,
as a financial entity as rather than as a entity that can make its own money
up anytime it wants to.
Um,
but they,
they do that to, you that to enforce austerity measures
so that they have all the money.
I've definitely seen people turning on celebrities.
Yeah, I've been saying that for a couple weeks now.
I feel like celebrities don't make sense anymore.
They don't make sense and they're not reading The Room at all.
The only people who read The Room and did a good job
were Britney Spearsars comrade britney who personally offered to help people out with
bills and diaper money and stuff on dm and rihanna who just like gave like five million dollars and
didn't fucking say anything about it that's all we want from rich people right now and celebrities
is to just like open wallet. Do something.
Nobody wants to see you sing.
Right.
And also their wealth is predicated on exploiting consumers to give them their money.
So at the end of the day, it's like, come send some of that money back the way it came to.
And I think that's true.
People don't read the room and it's weird to see people now especially when so many people are facing true hardships to be people like lulling it up in like
a palatial estate and be like guys you gotta stay home and there's no one there's no one to stop
them i think is the other thing there's no handlers to be like don't do that no i kind of
like the publicists have abandoned the celebrities. I like it.
The publicists are gone.
No one's left.
There was a horrible Gisele Bundchen one.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
So she and her family fled to Costa Rica,
and then they posted a video of them singing a Bruno Mars song.
And they're like, hope this lifts your spirits and it's just like you're like
what the fuck you you went to costa rica you're just screaming bruno mars at me and they're like
you know hope you hope you don't hope no one coughs on you bye motherfuckers like they're
just yeah the thing of all rich people just like absconding to their vacation homes also super dystopian, obviously.
Yeah.
It's fun to see how many people that you like that you're just like, I think this was a tweet last week.
Someone's it might have been Mike Drucker who is like, oh, really cool to see how many comedians have parents with really nice summer homes.
Love to see it.
You're just like, yeah.
with really nice summer homes.
Love to see it.
You're just like,
yeah.
Well,
I keep saying it's like Blade Runner starts
with all the rich people
have gone to Mars,
right?
Like,
Blade Runner starts
in the LA
that's like everyone
who couldn't afford
to get out of LA
when all the shit
starts to go down
and like all the rich people
have left
and gone to their
utopian planet settlement.
And then like whoever's left in a city during a pandemic or whatever,
it's just like fend for yourself is what the rich people have made clear.
Good luck.
Bye.
Bye.
Um,
yeah,
but as Madonna pointed out,
it is the great equalizer.
Oh my God.
That was all taking bad rose petals. Like she is the great equalizer. Oh my God. We're all taking baths in rose petals
like she is when she said that.
Amanda Hastert, a good thing about it in the New York Times
where she talked about the Gal Gadot video especially,
and she was like, it's not only tone deaf,
like literally most of these people can't sing.
My favorite part of the Gal Gadot video
isn't even the singing. it's the part where she
was like this whole situation has me feeling really philosophical and you're like what are
you talking about also she's a whole zionist right yeah oh yes while we're talking about heroes of
the pandemic i did want to bring up really quickly the British American Tobacco Company
because
they are doing
the Lord's work. They're the makers of
cigarettes like Rothmans
and Don Draper's
favorite Lucky Strike.
Dude, Benson and Hedges?
Yeah, the classics.
And they
have said, you know what, coronavirus,
we kill people by destroying their lungs, not you.
And they are putting money into research to defeat the coronavirus,
which is weird, and I don't like it.
Well, it's odd because they're sort of, you know, they've pointed to the fact that using,
they have like a biotech company
that they bought years ago
and they're using tobacco plants
as a way to develop a vaccine.
And I guess they're saying it's advantageous
because tobacco plants, quote,
cannot host pathogens which cause human disease.
So they're saying it's an easy way,
like they've used this sort of tobacco plant strategy before,
but never really to the point where you're like,
oh, wow, they really bailed us out of a pandemic.
It's just a weird opportunity.
I like how it's just like lobbying for big tobacco too.
It's just like tobacco, a miracle plant that cures all problems.
Right.
Yeah.
It's incredible how much they i mean this
is a great just sort of case study and why capitalism doesn't work because they have so
much money and infrastructure built up of making money off of tobacco that like they have learned
it is this cursed plant that kills everybody, and they just can't stop.
They just have so many people whose jobs are fucking to find a way
to just one way or another justify the use of tobacco in one way or another.
It's wild.
I guess there is one timeline where the corporations end up doing more bet like doing better for the people
than the governments and then they become our new leaders and then we're like wow british american
tobacco solved coronavirus no all hail president benson and hedges ended with a bet that's totally
part of the dystopia is because we have no public infrastructure all these private companies are
like i'll be the one but that's why also you're like Olive Garden
literally did a better job than most states.
Right.
Cheesecake Factory did a better job.
Yeah.
Wait, what did Olive Garden do
other than bottomless bread bowl and salad?
Other than change the world, yeah.
They were extending all their sick leave policies before
because they wouldn't give people any kind of sick leave.
And it was just like draconian business practices.
So taking away their awful world destroying policies.
Yeah, I don't know if they solved the thing where they get paid on those prepaid cards.
I know some people who work there get paid on a card that they have a stake in that company.
So they also recoup the service fees.
So I don't know if they solved that part.
Again, just a bare minimum of humanity,
of being like, oh, our workers are sick.
We'll give them a little bit of sick leave
so they don't die and lose all their money.
Yeah.
But I think all we need is a government that works
and is run by people and not human monsters.
Silicon Valley companies are never going to become moral
at this point.
I think we've all seen.
Corporations are specifically designed not to be moral.
And especially startups are designed to just
get around labor laws. So
we're also coming up against that with the Instacart
stuff where people are just like,
I'm going to outsource the dangerous part
of this to a more economically
vulnerable person
who might also still get me sick
because they have to go be out all day
shopping for rich people.
Right.
Cool world. Cool world.
Cool world.
Great movie.
True fact about where we live.
Great segue.
All right, guys.
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite
out of the most delicious food and its history.
Seeing that the most popular cocktail is the margarita,
followed by the mojito from Cuba,
and the piña colada from Puerto Rico.
So all of these...
We have, we think, Latin culture.
There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey
that dates back to the 9th century B.C.
B.C.?
I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

How do you feel about biscuits?
Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit,
where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot,
the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits.
I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean?
The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits.
It's right here in black and white in print.
A lion.
An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch.
As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on.
Why would we want to be the losing team?
I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,
these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be
ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app,

Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar.
Boo.
Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share.
We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network.
You thought you had fun last season?
Well, you were right.
And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs.
We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach.
That's my husband.
Daphne Spring, Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan J. and more.
You got to watch us.
No, you mean you have to listen to us.
I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen.
Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us.
Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window.
Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, lacy and amber show on will ferrell's big money players network on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever
you get your podcasts and we're back and speaking of cool world that's a movie netflix has those uh the transition his
power transitions are good i've been doing this for a while guys this is my first time around the
block um so this is probably the least surprising fact of the quarantine that netflix
watch times are up yeah i think everyone's obviously fleeing to it but it's interesting
like what these so they have numbers out that again for a disclaimer these are pre tiger king
numbers okay pre tiger king numbers also doesn't netflix just not really release its own metrics
it's just like whatever netflix says it is exactly it's it's like our elections it's like who the fuck knows i mean
maybe they i guess that makes sense but i don't know i don't have enough evidence to know for sure
the netflix voting machines aren't working correctly right suddenly oh yeah we forgot
all the power cords for these counting machines. Anyway, so their movie Spencer Confidential was the most viewed program on the platform for the week, like going from March 16th to the 22 movies. It's like Mark Wahlberg, Post Malone.
Yeah, I saw Post Malone's
picture on it. Oh yeah, I either
get the Mark Wahlberg one or the Post Malone
as an inmate thumbnail and I'm always like
not interested in either of these guys.
I get the Post Malone thumbnail.
I get Post Malone too. I'm so young
you guys.
That's the test.
Jack, get a face tattoo. when you get the post malone thumbnail you're just it's almost just like what do you like what do you think of me
algo that's where you're at that's where you're at on me i think it's very it's very telling about
who you are of whether you get grace or frankie on the tile it changes from person to person i
get lily tomlin and I feel
good about that, but I know that
a lot of people get Jane as well.
Well, I know they alternate to try
and just trick you into looking at something
like you haven't already looked at it before.
Right. I wonder if it switches
to post Malone when you've still not
watched it when they tried to lure you in with
Mark Wahlberg. That they go, okay, Wahlberg
ain't doing it. Fire up Malone.
For sure. But I think
some of us probably got Post Malone
first.
I didn't know it was a Mark
Wahlberg drama. That's how young I am.
I had no idea he was
in it. I don't even know who this guy is.
I thought he was just a random
guy who racially attacked an Asian guy.
So there's another development
in these listings here.
The next second
most watched thing is The Office,
which, fine, I think most people
realize that people are going to regress
into the time of Dunder Mifflin and
good timey
ignorance. But
they're saying even for the normal times like
it's up like millions of watch minutes the normal uh that like apparently the like the office is
truly the opiates of the masses at the moment the opioid of the masses people want to workplace
comedy because they can't go to work they can't work place yeah and also i think it is like for
the next generation they might never get to work in an office environment like will those jobs even
exist it's very nostalgic yeah can you imagine those like weird stories that we're gonna tell
things because obviously the world will be very different after this when you're like oh yeah i
used to go into an office
and we all used to use the same copy machine with our bare hands.
We used to touch the same Keurig.
That's how I feel when I talk about scrambled porn.
Right, right.
You kids will never know how much we went through.
They're like, what's a set-top box?
I'm like, fuck out of here.
You don't know what spice is?
Get out of my face. do you guys know anybody who so uh the the full list is netflix is on my block the mark walberg thing love is blind
the trials of gabrielle fernandez uh altered carbon and amazon's hunters do you know anyone
who's watched those i don't know a single person who's watched any of those well here's my question what the fuck is lock and key lock and key has been in the top 10
of netflix for like a month and every time i pass it i say out loud what the fuck is lock and key
there's so many things like that my friend and i call them fake shows shows where you see like
the billboard and it's like season three and you're like what the fuck is that like that can't be true that was bullshit there was somebody
starring kevin costner yeah burn notice fake show no one's ever watched burn notice yosemite
starring kevin costner it was like season two i was like fake there was no season one of this
oh the yosemite stands are coming for you molly the yosemite hive there the yosemite hive i think there was like
another ongoing like is mozart in the jungle was that even a show what was it about and did anyone
ever see it the like who was in mozart in the jungle i know that there was i could tell you
too much about mozart in the jungle i feel like it was about the sexy world of classical musicians
there's like an oboe player she was the lead right that was what intrigued me i believe it was like a
kirk like a like a kirk sister it's based on a book that somebody wrote about how everybody in
orchestras has sex but the people in the book i think were not very attractive maybe i'll watch
no i'm not going to i mean it good. No, the other shows on there,
like the Trials of Gabriel Fernandez,
my friend told me about that,
what it's about.
It's about a child murder.
That's supposed to be...
It's a crime documentary.
And it's just a description.
I'm like, yo, that's way too heavy for me right now
to watch some shit like that.
I watched the first 20 minutes
and then I watched it.
Yeah.
Are these numbers from February?
No, this is the week of March 16th.
Oh, the week of March 16th.
So we were all Quarren.
Lock dizzy, the first lockdown week.
So I'm sure the numbers are going to change vastly
once the T-King numbers come in.
Did you guys know that quarantine comes from 40 days?
That's the derivation of that word
because that's what they used to do to plague victims
is make them stay alone for 40 days.
I did not know that.
Not for medical reasons,
but for silly biblical things, I think.
Right.
But that means we're not even halfway there
for a classic quarantine.
Right? Didn't we start 17 days ago oh yeah well i guess when you put it like that 17 days ago i guess when you put it like
that with like math and shit yeah you're right but like vibe wise dude i'm like on day 500
right right right yeah i i've started to lose the thread i think this
week has been the week where yeah i really feel for sure that's what everyone said yeah everything
is starting to blur together i don't know like weekends from weekdays and everything no this is
like a specific title card in The Shining.
This feels like, it's weird.
It's like I feel myself having weirdly irrational reactions to things,
either underreacting or overreacting.
And then I also am finding,
I'm also having difficulty tracking other people's reactions to other things because I think everyone's just in a slightly different place mentally.
And sometimes, I don't know, I'm just like, I'm just like wait what right right can you give an example I think the mind throws
up a veil because everything is so insane it's like the curve on which everything has changed
so radically it's like what every sci-fi novel says happens where it's like oh at first everybody
was like this is crazy and then everyone just got used to it that novel says happens where it's like, oh, at first everybody was like, this is crazy. And then everyone just got used to it.
That is crazy.
But also it's like in the middle of it.
What are you going to do about it?
Except just sort of adapt in the moment, even though that's a crazy thing to do.
Yeah, I've just gotten to that point, too.
I think because, you know, like your habits would develop after like three weeks straight of doing something like you start building new habit pathways, I think something around 20-something days.
And as I get there, I feel like now I'm completely arrived at that this is the reality.
And now, I've said it before, I'm trying to own the situation as much as possible rather than reacting to it.
Because I think I've been doing that for... Well, they're just going to own the libs. Yeah possible rather than being like reacting to it because i think i've
been doing that for the libs yeah pwn the libs with their their tears yeah yeah but yeah i think
that's like the next part has been like okay well if this is it like okay i gotta i'm gonna make i
gotta make the most out of whatever i can given the circumstances i'll tell you one person who's owning the choir, and that is one Mr. Wayne Brady.
I love this story so much.
So he is currently quarantining with his ex-wife and her boyfriend
and their daughter together,
which is why they're quarantining together.
I feel like my... well where where does where does
your empathy go in this situation my what's the situation goes to the daughter yeah that sounds
like the worst of that's the lowest and on the four people in there jamie explain what how this
is even like who was whose house are they at why Why is that? I don't understand. Why are they doing this?
Well, let's do a little exploration.
So I got this.
Yeah, I listened to the interview in which he explains it.
It's basically he and his ex-wife live next door to each other for their daughter so they can co-parent.
Oh, okay.
co-parent um okay but he refers to him his ex-wife and her boyfriend as like the new uh modern family type thing uh it's kind of it's just it kind of reminds me of like jason momoa and lenny kravitz
like they're like they're friends they're friends they all hang out it's confusing to people but it
works for them would you say it's a grace and frankie situation oh i love that yes it actually
i i was originally i was like oh no this sounds like such a an uncomfortable situation but then
based on the story everyone it's like uh it may be if I am sort of like, maybe it sucks for the daughter.
But it seems like the parents are fine.
Maybe it's fine.
Like, maybe it's just like a like a co-op.
Maybe.
I mean, I bet.
I mean, Wayne Brady's got to be like a good dad, like a fun dad.
Yeah.
It sounds like he's a good dad.
Yeah.
Like he's doing this.
At first I was like was like yo that sucks for
him but now it sounds like he's just doing it to be a good dad and he's like you know well if my
ex-wife has a new boyfriend i'm gonna suck it up and not be selfish about it because yeah this is
the best thing for my kid and from what i could tell there's I could tell, the whole family is on good terms. His ex-wife
congratulated him on
winning Masked Singer.
You know, it's... He won?
He won!
Uh-oh, spoilers. Good for him.
It was season two. He won. Uh-oh.
What's that?
I'm pretty sure people are saying...
Sequences don't matter. People are saying that Seth
McFarlane is currently on The Masked Singer,
which feels inevitable for a Fox
reality show where narcissists
sing. I'm shocked
that they've been able to keep him off
The Masked Singer to this point
because he loves to fucking sing.
Literally, his emails were going to spam
and then they
found him and they're like, oh, thank God.
He'll come on. he'll dress up as
I forget what he's dressed up as wait it's
fucked up Stewie
he's dressed up as
Peter Griffin he's oh the
frog he's literally dressed up as the frog
I mean that's the
biggest one this season has to be
Sarah Palin being
on The Masked Singer that was too
on the nose for me.
That to me is like, yeah, okay,
we are in like a cyberpunk novel,
but it sucks actually to be there.
Yeah, it's terrible. When it cut from her doing like a better
than I would have expected,
still horrible rendition of Baby Got Back
and then to the president's
address telling it,
that Wednesday address
where the stock market
just plummeted through the
bottom of the charts
the next morning
because he fucked it up so bad.
That was probably peak dystopia.
Oh, wait.
Now people think the frog is ludicrous.
I don't know.
I haven't been keeping up.
I get those two confused.
I haven't been keeping up with the Masked Singer.
So this is fun.
I'm like, who is the frog?
They're like, it's Seth MacFarlane.
Next week, they're like, it's ludicrous.
We don't know.
I got to tell you, when I was doing my move switch or ooh switch,
aka I looked at the video for move bitch,
and I was amazed to see that the video is them being stuck in traffic.
They took a very literal interpretation of like
anytime you could tell a bitch to get out your way.
They were like, here's a time people are going to want
people to get out of their way
when they're stuck in traffic.
They have a whole dry erase board of like,
here are some scenarios that we've brainstormed.
You can choose your favorites for the song.
Yeah.
Doesn't everybody sing that song in traffic a lot though?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, no, it's a traffic anthem traffic allegedly anyways i had to tell you guys
that i couldn't not tell you that uh i apologize uh let's talk about some quarantine activities
really quickly uh who's got one for us i was just saying you know with the content being drying up
being like what do i do i found another way of selecting
what i watch rather than like aimlessly scrolling through like the same probably 98 titles that i
see on the screen is i pick a year from when i used to go to the movies i used to go to the movies
high and like you know high school and shit like that so i try and find a movie a year very
specifically and i look at all the movies from that year because typically like you're only high school and shit like that. So I try and find a movie a year very specifically.
And I look at all the movies from that year.
Because typically, you're only going to remember seminal films or things that were so bad,
you just can't forget them.
But there are things like just terrible shit, like Dead Man on Campus.
I forgot I fucking watched that movie in the theater.
Or motherfucking, what's the other one?
The Mask of Zorro. No, I'm like just like all
these like weird films that are not
good, but in a weird way like
when I watch them, something
will happen in a film where it triggers
another memory I had and I'm
somehow like really it transports
me to another place. Look, I'm all about transporting
guys. I definitely saw Mask of Zorro
in theaters when I was a kid.
Guys, I just learned a ton about the
inspiration for Zorro.
He was a Mexican
bandit who
hid in the hills and the valley
and robbed
rich people because
some people killed his wife.
He was cool.
Damn.
All right.
I mean, that's true.
I loved the Antonio Banderas Zorro
was fully my shit.
We watched that.
I think I watched that movie multiple times
in social studies class.
It for real made me be like,
man, is Zorro underrated?
Should we all get back into Zorro?
He's a Robin Hood.
Zorro's definitely good.
He's cool as hell. Yeah, it's really good. Was that the Mask of Zorro? He's a Robin Hood. Zorro's definitely good. He's cool as hell.
Yeah, it's really good.
Was that the Mask of Zorro?
That was, right?
Is that which, I can't, like, I know that there's a million of them.
Is that the one you saw in theaters, Miles?
Yeah, Mask of Zorro, I think is, that's Banderas.
Banderas one?
That's Banderas.
The Daily Zorro.
Those are fun.
Yeah.
I mean, it was so iconic that it led to Puss in Boots, right?
Right, right. swashbuckling
oh it didn't even make that connection wow quarantine's actually good
i totally agree with miles i was doing this even before quarantine but just like picking a year
usually just a year in the 90s and being like what were the shitty movies that like i saw that i would just enjoy watching
right now and like polly with jay moore oh totally totally the parrot movie
polly with jay moore yeah you don't remember that a talking oh that's not a long came polly that's
a no no it's just polly but my brother just watched Along Came Polly.
Also, just like a fine movie.
It's all like movies that would be on cable.
That's like all anyone wants.
Semi-pro is
I watched for the first time
and liked it.
I've been trying to...
Yeah, I've been trying to get my
boyfriend to watch that. Maybe I'll just watch
it. I feel like any of those Will Ferrell sports movies from that era
probably have at least like five good jokes in them that would make me laugh.
There's some laughs.
There's some really good, what's his name who played Will Arnett?
There's some good Arnett in that one.
Oh, wait.
No, I was thinking of Will Forte again.
I made that same mistake earlier this week.
I want to make out with Will Forte again. I made that same mistake earlier this week. I want to make out with Will Forte.
Yeah, Last Man on Earth is really good,
but I don't know if I can handle watching it right now.
Not now.
No, definitely not.
I think it starts with a title card that's like,
After the Virus.
No.
Does it really?
Oh, no.
My quarantine activity is,
I think I talked about this maybe like a month or
so ago but i'm back on my high school boyfriend's um wedding registry um and i just keep edging on
getting something like something affordable and then just being like from just saying like he okay first of all he has a tp on his wedding registry like he and
right which is like mystery have kids no they just want a tp they why don't you buy him that
and then cancel it and then let send a note being like you shouldn't have this here's why this is
ridiculous yeah i don't know i want to buy him a teepee and then just like sign it with like not my name but just be like someone who really feels like we could
have had something more but i wish you the best is this your boyfriend who you had a uh show
that where you contacted no no no not him no he's we're actual wait did you have like
the denise show this adam sandler
sketch where he calls his ex-girlfriend but no no i had a show where like i i reenacted losing
my virginity and the guy i lost my virginity to like skyped in from the military base he works at
would just like give some notes. He's great.
This is like my first boyfriend ever who I barely dated,
but I did find his wedding registry
and I'm so tempted to get him this teepee.
All right.
Well, guys, Molly.
That's a good quarantine activity.
That is a great quarantine activity.
Look up your axes.
My quarantine activities, I've been cooking
a lot. I love to cook.
And it's also like a stress reliever because it's
just like anything where I'm just chopping vegetables.
I've always found extremely
calming. Just
not have to use your brain. Just have to
focus on a task right in front of you.
But I also
one weird thing I do a lot is look
at the Earthcam website, which is if you just get tired of watching content that has like a plot and jokes, Earthcams are in major cities.
So I've always looked at them anyway, because I already like to look at like weird abandoned Times Square in the middle of the night.
anyway, because I already like to look at weird abandoned Times Square in the middle of the night.
But suffice to say, they're all really dystopian now because there's one on Bourbon Street
where there's just nobody on Bourbon Street, and that's really weird.
There's one on Hollywood Boulevard. My friend Darcy went for a walk.
She lives in Manhattan, and she walked to Times Square to the location
of the Earth Cam so I could see her there on her social distance walk. She lives in Manhattan and she walked to Times Square to the location of the Earth cam so
I could see her there on her like social distance walk. But there's also, if that's too dystopian
for you, which I understand is starting to get a little too weird, although I do look at the
Fremont Street, empty Las Vegas one all the time. Explore.org has animal cams that are super calming
in the vein of what miles was talking about of like
nature soundscapes if you just want to put it on as background noise of like a swamp or a forest
or something it's very good but also it's like um yeah there's a swamp one that's all these like
spoonbill cranes in a swamp and there's a bear cam in al. I always talk about this on Night Call.
I love to watch the bear fish for salmon in Alaska.
Wait, you can do that live?
Yeah.
And when it's not live, they have best ofs.
There's a whole commenter community where people are like, check this out, a bear caught a salmon at this timestamp.
That sounds amazing.
Yeah, there's an owl cam. They do
nest cams every year
and I have been watching
an owl that just gave birth
to some owl chicks.
So that was very gratifying
for me personally. That's amazing.
Yeah, it's like very calming.
There are currently five people
in Times Square total.
I'm just looking at the live feed right now.
And then they'll disappear.
It's almost like a very weird feeling.
And also it froze for a second, and then I had to hit play,
and then they all walked across.
It felt like it was a Truman Show thing.
They were just doing this for my benefit to be like,
okay, he's watching.
Go, go, go.
Anyways, Molly, it's watching. Go, go, go. Um,
anyways,

There's a cat account that are cats on an island in Japan.
I like to just look at that Twitter.
It's like the opposite of the rest of Twitter.
It makes me just feel chill.

And I guess she forgot that she had ordered 30 dessert pretzels a couple of weeks ago.
And today she posted,
so my dog starts going crazy as I head for the door.
Special delivery?
I'd forgotten that I ordered these a few weeks back
to share at work for pick-me-ups.
Turns out the joke's on me, dot, dot, dot, and my hips.
Sorry, everybody.
That is good content.
Hashtag the best laid plans.
Hashtag sweet salty fail.
Wait, Jamie, what's a dessert pretzel?
It is something I've never seen.
It is a, from what I can tell, there's a picture attached of these gigantic pretzels.
They are covered in frosting and sprinkles.
It looks delicious, but it's a cursed concoction, to be sure.
It sounds delicious.
Yeah, so follow my mom and her pretzels, but actually just leave her alone.

in today's episode as well
as the song we
ride out on
miles with second b
you know I think it's good to have a lot of live instruments
more than like synthesized stuff.
There's, you know, there's a balance.
You know, sometimes the synth stuff, the sample-based stuff
scratches my itches, but other times I feel like
hearing a live band play instruments
brings a level of energy to your ears.
So I want to do another band.
That's another one of my favorite like sort of Afrobeat bands
from the United States,
the Budos Band.
And this is from,
I think one of their first albums,
but this track is called
Up From The South.
And, you know,
check out their stylings,
great brass section,
great rhythm section.
And like a lot of their work
is really super fun to listen to.
Up from the 36 chambers.
That's what that made me think. Up from the 36 chambers. That's what that made me think of.
