Sometimes I wake up and I go, the only thing I want to do today is sit in dirty underwear and play 2K on Rookie Mode. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I just like, I want to score 100 points with uh Jordan Bell that's so funny that you say that because that's like literally some shit I would do I would do be like you know what especially like if Arsenal like in real life my team's not doing well I load FIFA up I go watch me fucking score 900 in the first half on easy on easy because I'm just that man that's self-care it's self-care it's self-care 100% of self-care because it helps us feel potent yeah and I dare a therapist to tell me it's not self-care i'll have your license revoked

Whether he called Tim Cook, Tim Apple, we're going to get his takes on that.
Starting point is 00:05:11 We're going to talk about the GOP's new strategy of just being wildly racist and problematic while calling the Democrats out for racist. Exactly. You accuse them of the thing you're guilty of and it's tough man it's it's there's no way to deal with it uh we're gonna talk about the timing of the muller report um and how it stacks up to past special uh council investigations and we're gonna talk about all sorts of shit today guys uh but first edgar we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are okay let's look i'll just read up the last five i got medical boot cvs uh-huh and that's because anna just broke her toe anna which is my girlfriend significant honestly yeah honestly and then i got Vista Showtimes because I just watched Captain Marvel. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Adnan Syed. Yeah. The HBO documentary came out two nights ago. No, I was watching The Doc last night. What did Bayzad tweet? Bayzad was like, yo, my dream is to be cast as Adnan Syed in a film. That's wild. I feel like I was born to play him. That's wild.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I thought you were looking just to compare. Did you watch the documentary last night? I watched it last night. So what is the general vibe of it? I couldn't really tell. The general vibe is that that That's wild. I thought you were looking just to compare. Did you watch the documentary last night? I watched it last night. So what is the general vibe of it? I couldn't really tell. The general vibe is that that nigga's innocent. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Oh, so for people who don't know, from the serial podcast, I'm going to say who killed Heyman Lee, or we don't know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Around the death of his girlfriend, Heyman Lee. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:42 He's convicted of. Convicted of of in prison. And then, so this documentary comes out and is it compelling? So here's what I'll say. You know, I watched, I've never listened to the serial podcast because too many white people were into it.
Starting point is 00:06:55 And that's like a telltale sign of me being like, I'm not into this unless it's the show girls. And, uh, that was the one thing that white people jumped on. I was like, yeah, I'm with y'all on this. And now you're like, I fuck with Lena Dunham. Hold on, that's a weird take.
Starting point is 00:07:12 That and Mad Men. So I never listened to it. So this was my first introduction to the whole case, besides SNL sketches and shit like that. Where I get most of my information. Yeah, absolutely. And I don't know, man. It's a pretty compelling story.
Starting point is 00:07:26 But there was a part of me that was like, they're making this nigga look too sweet. Like, I was just like, he looks, he sounds so sweet on the phone. And, like, I don't know, man. It was very stressful to watch. And what was also stressful to watch about it was his parents are so much like my parents. And the shit that he, like, the hoops that he would have to go around where he would like do calling cards and like all this weird shit i would do shit like that too right and my parents were very against me dating and then i had this thought of like man what would have happened to me if one of the i'll be honest white woman that i dated in high school you know it
Starting point is 00:07:58 wasn't a lot of black women around in my high school there was one donnell dockery uh what would happen if one of them died then i was like bro the smoke that would be my life that would be my life it would be over and i know this because i remember my brother dated this white girl in school and she got a threat like this letter this threatening letter that called her like a bitch and talked about how much we hate how much i hated her and she was very hated in our school because she was rich and shit like that but like m McAllen PD came to our school and only interrogated my brother for three hours. And that's when my mom pulled us out of that school
Starting point is 00:08:33 because my dad came in and was just hot and was so mad. But they only interrogated my brother. Then they did some investigation, and that shit came from Mexico. So it definitely wasn't my brother. Wait, the letter came from... She was so hated that she was internationally hated? My school, to be fair, my high school is on the border.
Starting point is 00:08:50 So every day, a bus would go across the border and pick up rich Mexican kids that come to our school. Oh, so it was technically like an international school. It was, yeah. We had fresas. We had fresas that came to our school. Shout out to South Texas Christian Academy. We were reaching across the aisle. So that's kind of the whole time in the dark I couldn't pay attention because I kept feeling like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Especially as a black kid, I probably yelled once or twice. And like a bad yelling and then just them being like, just thinking of how the teachers. Because there's a point where the teacher was just like, you know, one time I hugged Adnan and he didn't really hug me back and i felt this energy this darkness and i was just like no no no no let's stop he's a muslim man and you are a white woman that just touched him he's not from a culture where he's used to that kind of contact that's probably what that shit was right and she right into that shit and she told the police about it she's like i think he wanted to kill me bad day maybe he was having a bad day and And doesn't like it when his fucking teachers hug him. That's what I'm saying, man.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And it's like, I don't know, man. That kind of shit, it stressed me. It stressed me out. And I was like, man, if I was Adnan, it'd be a wrap. It'd be a wrap. I'll be serving time right now. And I'll never get to say Ongo Boingo on a podcast. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:59 Thank God they took out that school. Well, I went back my senior year by choice. Because basketball was easier there. Oh, so very much like 2K, you wanted to play on rookie. I wanted to play on rookie mode. Ray V. Jordan Bell, 100 points. You're like, yeah, just so you know, the rims are like 8 feet 2 in that league. I literally dropped 51 points in a game at that league
Starting point is 00:10:18 because we played against a school with 5 kids all under 5'5". Wait, their team was 5 kids? Yeah. So no one could sub out? No one could sub out, bro. It must have been a mess by the third quarter. They were all under 5'5"? Was it a school of 4 people who were under 5'5". Wait, their team was five kids? Yeah. So no one could sub out? No one could sub out, bro. It must have been a mess by the third quarter. They were all under 5'5"? Was it a school for people who were under 5'5"?
Starting point is 00:10:29 I don't know. Them niggas was short as hell, and I was just doing work. I remember the ref at one point pulled me over and was just like, you got to sub out the game. This is not right. The ref? Yeah. Get the fuck out of here, ref.
Starting point is 00:10:37 The ref was like, this is not right. And I said, I don't care, bro. Give it a ball in the post. Let me work these niggas. Yeah. So on the Adnan miles where you stand on adnan's guilt or uh it was at the by the end i was like there's i can see how it looks fucked up for him and i can also see how like there are other things too that also make me scratch my head
Starting point is 00:10:59 uh but i can't i mean it's been fucking what five years since that shit came out so i'm right jesus like 2014 was like the height of it i remember wrapped like around thanksgiving of But I can't, I mean, it's been fucking, what, five years since that shit came out? Is that right? It was like 2014 was like the height of it. I remember it wrapped like around Thanksgiving of that year because they were skipping a week and I was fucked up. I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And then the final came out and it wasn't that satisfying. It wasn't that satisfying. But yeah, I mean, again, I can't remember all the nuances enough to remember exactly how I felt. I remember his personality won me over.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I was like, man, this dude's innocent. But then once you get through the facts, there's a big hole that can't really be explained. But where's Jay at? Right. That's my whole thing. It's either Jay or Adnan. Based on the facts of the case, it either has to be Jay or Adnan. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Because they knew where the body was. Right, right, right. So it's... That's why I'm like, I mean, I guess the way I saw it was there's room to entertain the idea that he's innocent. There's also a lot to suggest that he could be very guilty. Yeah. Right. So I was just sort of like, I'm going to leave that as a push in my mind and not think about how dark this shit is.
Starting point is 00:12:02 The one thing that's clear is that the case is made in a very shady way that isn't fair to him. Right, yes. It's probably an illustration of a thing that happened to a lot of much more clearly innocent people. And I don't know. I'm going to watch this HBO documentary with the rest of you and continue to make up my mind.
Starting point is 00:12:22 I wonder if Heyman Lee's family is really loving all this. Probably not. I thought I read something about they were not. They didn't cooperate at all with Serial. I don't know what the story is with this documentary, but it's crazy. That is my wife's
Starting point is 00:12:39 Korean name is Hayman Lee. She was like the same age as her. Why are you always making them phone calls at that Best Buy? is Heyman Lee. Whoa. And she was like the same age as her. Whoa. Yeah, it's pretty wild. Hey, why are you always making them phone calls at that Best Buy? And isn't your mom
Starting point is 00:12:49 the manager of the store you work at? What? No, that's not me. Why are you always going to Lincoln Park? Yeah. Listening to Lincoln Park.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Yeah, but I also think it's weird that the nigga who found her has some shady shit too that nobody ever looked into. Jay? No, no, no. The dude who found her?
Starting point is 00:13:04 Oh, yeah. He was like a streaker or some shit like that? Yeah. And I was like, No, no, no. The dude who found her. Oh, yeah. He was like a streaker or some shit like that. And I was like, yo, we got to talk about this. And he was hella rude to the defense lawyer. She's like, what were you doing on that day? He's like, I've never heard of that day. I'm like, you've clearly heard of the day. I've never heard of that day.
Starting point is 00:13:16 You've never heard of March 3rd? Never heard of that day. Yeah. What is something you think is underrated? This is going to be tough. I'm so sorry to say this. J. Cole, I think, is underrated? This is going to be tough. I'm so sorry to say this. J. Cole, I think, is underrated. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Wow. Good for you. Good for you. That's like a young man's hot take. J. Cole's like one of those, he splits old heads and new heads, I think. Right, right. I've been known to be an outstanding, outstanding J. Cole hater. I've talked a lot of shit about him.
Starting point is 00:13:48 But one day I was playing 2K and I decided to put on KOD. And it rode, baby. And it rode hard. Yeah. And then there was a song stuck in my head that I kept doing. I was like, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da. And then I kept singing it. And I was like, what is that from?
Starting point is 00:14:02 And then I sang it on the pod. And somebody on Twitter hit me up and was like, it's a J. Cole song. And I was like, damn, this nigga's infiltrated my brain. You know what I'm saying? And middle child goes hard. I'm here to say that J. Cole is underrated. I don't think he gets the respect that he deserves. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Wow, the respect he deserves because he deserved all the disrespect from you. I feel like even on Twitter, you always had fucking smoke from him. I did, bro. And I think I'll be willing to admit it. I just didn't like the way that he talked about Kanye on False Prophets. It really hurt me. Oh, that was hurt. It was a bit of push of tea on my behalf.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I was riding for my boy. Right. But I just think that the man deserves a lot more credit. I think what he's doing over at Dreamville is amazing. I think that he is opening the door for artists to collaborate. I think that like, you know, he is opening the door for artists to collaborate in a way that I haven't seen since Kanye West.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I don't know, man. I'm like worried about you. This is so off brand for you. By the way, this is giving all J. Cole heads who like just try and convince, who are proselytizing about J. Cole
Starting point is 00:15:01 and have been for years, hope that they can convert the unconverted. Bro, here's what's wild is my Instagram, IG, my IG messages are two things. It's always people being like, hey, I love the pod. It's very funny. I think Ana's funnier than you. And the second thing is people just being like, yo, you wrong about J. Cole. That's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:15:22 There's people sending me links of J. Cole and stuff like that. They're like, come short's fine you know like you can do what you gotta do j cole yeah i think it's yeah but it's a thing that i get why like i feel like more i don't know like me old backpacker hip-hop head like i like j cole but i also see when people like they're like he's boring like this shit is not fun like it's just they're not into his lyricism at all i don't know i'm just i'm glad people are not hating jay cole i don't think he deserves to fucking hate at all yeah yeah at best you'd be like okay he's boring to you i mean clearly the people who love him are are hearing something that you're not hearing so like i i just don't understand like the people who go out of
Starting point is 00:16:05 their way to be haters yeah so well that's just that's the error that's just like and look i mean i'm as one of those people i'll just tell you what it is i think it's it comes from feeling left out at times yeah like you know i'm saying because i used to hate kendrick too and i hated kendrick because like i just missed it like i wasn't paying attention to that kind of music at the time. I was very depressed. And the only thing I was listening to was Bon Iver and James Blake, their first albums. So when Kendrick came out, I just missed that whole boat. I wasn't in the mood for hip hop.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And then so everyone coming to me like, yo, Kendrick's the greatest rapper. Kendrick's the greatest rapper. And I'm like, leave me the fuck alone, bro. But it was like me feeling left out. It was me feeling like, nah, I just don't like him. And it's just like, nah, dude, you just weren't there for when he came hot i don't i'm not gonna put in the work right now to listen to everything to get an actual idea absolutely absolutely bro that's all it is you know that's what hate is yeah it's just like feeling exhausted by the daunting task of like trying to figure out
Starting point is 00:16:57 how you feel about absolutely that's why like with trump haters or trump lovers you know what i mean i know you're too deep right now but you can come to the light yeah you know what I mean? I know you're too deep right now, but you can come to the light. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, and Trump haters too, like you were saying, Miles. Trump haters too. Yeah, come on, guys. Give the guy a chance.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I mean, Freudian slip. Okay. Y'all just mad if y'all weren't on the boat. Y'all just mad if y'all weren't on the boat. Y'all wish that y'all found that nigga first, but you didn't find him first. Wait till you sort out the Trans-Pacific Partnership. That's why I vote for him. Yo, this fucking Asian guy I know voted for him off that shit.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I was like, bro, peace the fuck out. Wow. How's he feel now? What is something you think is overrated? Roommates. Roommates. I think roommates are overrated, bro. This is you growing up right now.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I'm hearing it all. You're like, you know what? I'm getting a boot for somebody. I think J. Cole is fine artist. Listen, bro. I've lived in some shitty situations. You know what I'm saying? When I came to L.A. for the first time, I lived in Glendale on the floor of a studio apartment with twins.
Starting point is 00:17:54 My floor was nothing but their dirty laundry, and I slept on top of that shit because I was poor as fuck. You know what I'm saying? Then we moved to another situation where me and the twins got a two-bedroom apartment with this other dude named Robbie. And me and Robbie shared a room and the twins shared a room. I would hear Robbie have sex with his girlfriend. I would hear Robbie playing PlayStation at all times at night. If Robbie was crying and I came into the room, he would trap me in with his feelings and make me talk to him. Robbie sounds like a very complex figure.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah, when you say you could hear him have sex, you mean you're in the room while he's fucking. It's not that you're in another room. No, I'll be asleep and he'll be like, I'm going to slip it in, bro. And then they will try to have quiet sex. And then I'll be like, come on, guys, I can hear y'all. I know what's happening. And then on top of that, but then this current roommate situation that I am in right now, and I will not name this nigga, but this current roommate situation I'm in right now where I have my own room is the worst situation I've had in my entire time in LA.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Y'all just heard the two other situations I just described. Yeah. And this is the worst one I've ever had because this dude feels like a king. Oh, he's not a good roommate. I can't use the living room because he always there can't use it because he's always there taking up fucking space taking up space always there if one time i boiled water in his pot just boil some water i didn't even do some shit yet and this man sent me an essay about how rude i am oh fuck off an essay okay my friend io came into town
Starting point is 00:19:23 because you know she out here doing work. She's out here trying to get meetings and shit like that. And I said, stay at my place. Don't worry about it. We good. Because that's how people in my culture are, right? In Haitian culture, if a person comes into your house, that means that you're sleeping on the floor. Because they're going to sleep in your bed.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Right. So Ayo comes through and I say, stay at my place. Don't worry about it. This man banned Ayo, said she can't be there anymore because she used a couple of my plates. What do you mean you broke them? No, she used them. Just had the audacity to eat off a fucking plate? That's right. And she washed it and cleaned it. He was just upset
Starting point is 00:19:53 that she used them. Oh, wow. So this person is the only child? Yes. Oh my god. 100%. And you already know how I feel about that shit. I have a lot of thoughts about only children. Yeah, me too. That's why I know. But I'm like, I become old enough and be like, just sort your own bullshit out that you're like, what kind of world am I in where I'm like, you used my plane.
Starting point is 00:20:17 So now my cousins are staying there. And look, they're young. They're young. OK, I'll give them that. They're young. They're definitely here on spring break type of shit. Right, right. And they're being wild But this nigga
Starting point is 00:20:27 Has sent me an essay Every day They're just staying From Saturday night To Thursday night It's such a short time Right It's such a short time
Starting point is 00:20:33 And this nigga Sent me an essay Every day Sometimes three essays a day Being like I'm at my last whim I can't do it And I wanna break my phone in half
Starting point is 00:20:41 That's why I was like Kinda walking around And pacing when I first showed up Yeah Cause this nigga's been In my ass. Wow. How do you know him?
Starting point is 00:20:48 We were on the same. I don't know. So this was the bad juju. We know you said juju. Well, I know. I know. But this is the bad juju. How are they ever going to figure out who you're talking about?
Starting point is 00:20:56 We were on the same Herald team together. Okay, easy. Okay, so same Herald team. And then we got cut. Together. But we all got cut. But then I stayed on. I got on a new team and he didn't. And that was the day I moved in. But we all got cut. But then I stayed on. I got on a new team and he didn't.
Starting point is 00:21:06 And that was the day I moved in. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's a bad start. That was the start of it, my dog. Yeah. And it has been. It shouldn't be a bad start, but that sounds like the sort of thing that the person you're describing would not handle very well. I would just respond to all his essays and he said, you know, I'm not going to read through this because all i see this distilled
Starting point is 00:21:25 down to one word fear let me talk that shit right now you have nothing to fear i'm like i'm not a threat to your existence i'm not a threat to your well-being your prosperity you're actually getting in the way of yourself my friend should always respond about the herald team be like yo if you keep trying, man. You're like, yo, I'm doing a workshop for people who want to do Herald auditions. Y'all are whack. What's a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? Front of
Starting point is 00:21:55 camera diversity solves the problem. Okay. So now, this is what I mean by that. And Zig kind of tweeted something about this when he was talking about how he had to fight the ad people over at the podcast company that he works at. I won't name them. Earwolf. But, like, the problem is, like, we see, like, you know, I'll even give you an example.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Captain Marvel I watched, and I thought it was okay. I thought it was fine. It wasn't bad. It was definitely a good movie, better than some of the other superhero movies that have come out but when i saw that a dude also directed it like it was a dude and a woman i was just like that's not right that's not right it should have also it should have just been a woman because i think that we think oh it's a female-led superhero movie and we stopped there right but black panther would not be good even if it was just a black dude if a white man had directed it.
Starting point is 00:22:48 It needed to be a black man directed it. It needs to be a black woman being a production designer. It needs to be as many black people behind the scenes because that's where the most important of decision-making is happening. It's not happening with the cast. The cast has shown up and read their lines, and it's dope to see people in those roles. But I truly do think that what's trash is, like, we have still a lot of white people behind the scenes
Starting point is 00:23:15 that are making these kind of decisions, and things get lost in translation, and it becomes, like, really hard to do. Like, I think about Atlanta, right, where Atlanta needed to hire David Sims, who's a very, very amazing writer, but he has to deal with FX on a show, Atlanta's behalf, because the execs that they're dealing with are all white, and they don't understand anything that this all-black writer's room is telling them, so they have to hire a white man in
Starting point is 00:23:37 between. Versus if they were just black execs at FX. Yeah, at least one. At least one. To sway the others, be like, no, no, no, I get it. I get it, bro. Gerald, at least one. At least one. To sway the others. I get it. I get it, bro. Gerald, I get it. And as someone who has been dealing with this shit all this time, I'm seeing it,
Starting point is 00:23:52 I'm hearing it. I'm like, you know, I would just wish sometimes that there were more people of color behind the scenes. You know, casting directors, execs, producers, all of that stuff that would make the life so much easier because you have these black creatives who are doing amazing work, but their support systems are still white.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah, the actual, yeah, the infrastructure behind it is still, yeah, for sure. Beale Street, I went to the screening at the Arclight and I loved it. Loved the movie. I cried. It was a beautiful fucking movie. They bring out the talent. Of course, you know, you got Stefan James. You got Kiki.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And then these are the next three people. Dave Franco and the two white producers from Plan B. And I'm just like. And then they ask this question about, like, how, like, David Ouelo was the moderator. And he's like, how important is it to make a movie about black people that isn't about black struggle? And the person who answered the question was the fucking white producer, bro. Right, yeah. And that shit hurt me.
Starting point is 00:24:49 And the white producer gave a terrible answer to the point where Lacey Mosley, who is ballsy as fuck, got up and went, you didn't answer the question. She yelled that shit out, which I would never do because I respect my money. You still know the game lacy makes way more money than i ever will um but um like that like hurt me because i was like there was no black producer who could answer that question because barry wasn't there you know like like when green book won and you saw everybody get on stage bro i'm sorry marsh the only fucking black and that's what i'm saying and that's what i'm saying is like and then i had this dude i was
Starting point is 00:25:24 going through my instagram stories and i remembered like because you know i'll be roasting people and i went on and i remember that this dude tried to explain to me that green book was a better black movie than beale street and i was just like what makes that movie black besides the fact that there's one nigga in the movie right right right right but there's no black people on these teams there's no black people on it like you know's no black people on it. Like, you know, so I love front of camera diversity. I love it. But I want more black people behind the scenes. It's about inclusion at every level.
Starting point is 00:25:50 That's why. So, like, I want to, like, tell people, you know, there's some people. But this is where my call to action gets kind of trash. Look, there's some of y'all out here that are, you know, trying to be actors. Oh, shit. Y'all trying to be writers. Like, y'all just not as good as some of the other people, bro. But y'all can still have an impact.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Y'all might be a great producer. Y'all might be a great producer, bro. We need it. You might be a great casting director. Like, look, it sounds like I'm joking, but I'm being for real. There are other ways to be involved in this shit if you really care about it. Because that's what these white people do. They go in and go, shit, I want to be an actor, but I'm not that great at it.
Starting point is 00:26:23 So I'm going to go and I'm going to be a producer and I'm going to get my friends on. We need to all do the same shit. Also, good money in producing. Great money in producing. Real good money in producing. That's why most actors, when they get on, the first thing they do is make a production company. That's the first thing that they do. Brad Pitt has produced all your favorite black
Starting point is 00:26:40 movies from the last five years. True. It's crazy. That is crazy. But that's my myth, is that front-of-camera diversity fixes the problem. That's a great myth, and it ties into the first story. But before we get to that, we are going to take a quick break.

Starting point is 00:31:00 And the first question that we have to ask on this week is, is Trump president in the Marvel universe? I don't know. That's question number one. So the way this ties into your myth, Edgar, is that Marvel's former CEO was this dude, Isaac Perlmutter, who I've been wondering about for years because they just hid him away he was never allowed like as marvel was having its come up and everybody was like who is the genius behind all of
Starting point is 00:31:33 this there were all these articles written about this mysterious figure and he apparently was kind of the main force behind keeping women out of the like starring roles in these movies and like wouldn't give black widow a toy wow and they had to basically once disney took over they basically sidelined him quietly and were just like they specifically said it was because of his outdated opinions on casting, budgeting and merchandising. So they specifically... Man, I love how they euphemistically just said he's a racist misogynist.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Just say that shit, man. It's so clear. Call a spade a spade. Just let people know. It's like, because he's racist and a misogynist. He's like your uncle. But that's what I'm going to do with my roommate if I ever leave that situation. You know, I just think that the money was like, you know, it was a little too tight and all that stuff. I'm not going to just be like, you was an asshole.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Right, right, right. Okay. Hopefully he's like gang and he learns it for himself. Oh boy. So yeah. And this is just a, so that's just how this movie got made in the first place. And you, you thought it was just all right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:45 No. I mean, look, I thought And you, you thought it was just all right. Yeah, no. Um, I mean, look, I thought, yeah, I thought it was all right.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I'm trying to like, I don't know. Here's what's crazy to me is like, I'm defending myself to not sound like a sexist, but also most of the people who think that the movie was all right or really bad on my Twitter feed have been women. So like, I guess for me, it was just like,
Starting point is 00:33:03 yeah, this is like, you know, you're pretty standard Marvel movie. It was fun. I felt like it was a little yeah this is like you know your pretty standard Marvel movie it was fun I felt like it was a little tonally all over the place
Starting point is 00:33:08 okay yeah that's my only complaint really it was better than any Thor movie I'll put it on that on Ragnarok too
Starting point is 00:33:15 I'll say that right now wow on Ragnarok it was better than that I'll say that okay I just don't fuck with Thor a lot like Thor to me
Starting point is 00:33:21 seems like I don't need a superhero movie for him because he's the superhero that makes the most sense to me. Huh. He's a god. Boom.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I got it. Like, you don't need to explain it to me. You're a god. I get it. You're the Superman of the Marvel universe. Yeah, it's like,
Starting point is 00:33:34 I don't need it. Now, what about this Nine Inch Nails fan from the 90s? What's your story? Exactly. I don't know shit. That was a superhero movie
Starting point is 00:33:40 I went into knowing the least about and it blew my mind. Okay. So, like, that's why I think... Pretty good endorsement, I would say. That's what I'm saying. It's like went into knowing the least about, and it blew my mind. Okay. So that's why I think- Pretty good endorsement, I would say. That's what I'm saying. It's like, I knew the least.
Starting point is 00:33:49 So it was, but with Thor, I'm like, bro, yeah, he's a god. Boom, I got it. Thor. Right. Bird. I don't need a movie for him. Right. And Chris Hemsworth doesn't need more roles.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Right. Jesus Christ. He's in everything. But he's so lovable. Put your heart on the way jack i can't i apologize so it brought in 153 million dollars domestically 455 worldwide uh so just proving that this motherfucker had no idea like what a hill to die on to be like nope i know for a fact these women-led movies will not perform at the box office.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Right. It's like, hmm, how's that working out for you, Isaac? I mean, it comes down to this simply is that he's only operating from the world that he understands. And that's what's so trash about it, where it's just like, hey, bro, guess what? People your age and people in your world don't even watch these fucking movies.
Starting point is 00:34:42 So how about you step out the way and realize who does watch these things? You know you know a lot of these people like these elderly ceos got where they're going like trusting their instincts but their success is based on like how good their ideas were perceived by a bunch of other white guys their age like during the 80s and 90s. Or even pro-mutter. He's like, when I came of age in the 60s, two things were true. Black people couldn't see good at night, and only whores use condoms. And you're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:35:13 But he's not wrong about those two things, though, right? Like, those are universal truths. Always suspicious. Wait, wait, who's the condom? I can't see well at night. Like, I can't. You can't see well at night? I have perfect vision. No, you don't.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Yeah, I do. 120? But when the lights go off, your boy can't see shit. Well, most people can't see shit when the lights go off. I can't drive at night, man. Car lights, I don't know what it is. Maybe I have a... I'm just the first I'm hearing of this as a
Starting point is 00:35:42 stereotype. Oh, no good night vision? Yeah, bad night vision. Yeah, it's a deep cut. It's a deep cut. That was off the LP. So, in terms of... And ProMutter, by the way, was a contributor to the
Starting point is 00:36:00 Trump campaign and was like a big Trump supporter. So, in terms of... people are starting to wonder who the president is in the Marvel universe. The only president we've actually seen in a Marvel movie was Matthew Ellis in Iron Man 3. And what we know about him is he got to be president in the year 2012 by running on the single issue of protecting America after the battle for New York, which happened in the original Avengers. So then that was his first term? So that was his first term. So then it's safe to assume he's probably still president.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Well, so the question is, where is Obama in this? Because the other thing we've seen is that Captain America was reading a biography of Obama at one point in the Marvel Universe so Obama exists the question is whether he got elected early in 2004 or if he won in 2008 but lost in 2012 to Matthew Ellis okay but then there are all these references to Trump throughout the most recent movies like uh one of the aliens calls earth a shithole planet uh at one point in the most recent movie there's also uh there's talk of letting aliens within our walls right there's a lot of wall stuff there's wall stuff and um that's That's an F plus for me, man.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Whenever that shit happens in a movie. That's why I also didn't like Black Klansman. What about? I don't like when the movies directly talk about our world like that. Oh, like such a blatant comment, like on the nose sort of parallel comment. Like in Black Klansman when they were just like, well, apparently David Duke thinks that he could run for president. And they go a president with KKK like ideals that would never happen and then both them dudes look at the camera
Starting point is 00:37:48 I was like yo come on Spike you know what maybe you don't deserve an Oscar am I right audience whoa what the fuck anyway back to the film there's also people wearing I'm with her shirts around the 2016 election
Starting point is 00:38:05 and in luke cage luke cage says uh he'll make harlem great again prompting another character to call him luke trump so again not super subtle but so that so trump's president in that version so trump is president basically trump won in 2016 is what people think in the Marvel universe. I thought you were just going to be like, Trump, that's what people think in America. But here's the truth. Here's my theory.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Fooling yourselves. Based off of the evidence that you presented, Jack. In 2008, Barack Obama wins. That's a fact. Right. But then you put a black man
Starting point is 00:38:38 in the office and all of a sudden aliens attack the world. Right. That's going to be that black man's fault, no doubt about it. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Because they're like, we've had white presidents and aliens have never attacked us right but the moment we got a black president aliens are open our shit that's how president ellis came exactly because he was like well and i'm not saying anything but if you notice before 2008 no alien attacks that's right after that inauguration crazy ass alien attacks. That's right. After that inauguration, crazy-ass alien attacks. That's right. So, white power. But then I think that perhaps the Superhero Act, I don't think that the public maybe liked that. They probably went that that went too far, and they said that's government oversight.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Right, right. That's big government. So then that's what opens the door for somebody like Trump to come in who's very anti-establishment. Okay. Got it. So he was more anti-establishment and less like race baiting i mean i think he was still race baiting i think he was just like oh boy war machine war machines over there making choices huh what do you guys think about that we don't like that at all
Starting point is 00:39:36 we don't like that at all yeah you can easily see trump's campaign do y'all see that captain america got wild after he went to Africa? What's that all about? That's when he got radicalized. Jungle fever. Well, let's talk about the version of the president that exists in this timeline. It's funnier than a movie at this point. It really is. Comedy is basically impossible at this point.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yeah, last week I was trying to figure out if we would talk about that moment where Trump referred to Tim Cook, the head of Apple, as Tim Apple. Right. So, you know, hear it for yourself. This isn't just a thing someone transcribed in an interview. You can hear this man. Just listen for yourself. You've really put a big investment in our country. We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Ivanka just kind of blinks right off. It's like, oh, okay. um so ivanka like just kind of blinks right i was like oh okay and yes everyone laughed and was like ha ha ha because so many people on the left they want their confirmation bias to be stimulated with this idea that donald trump's brain is melting as yeah i think what i think what probably happened is he was saying because he had called him tim like three times prior to that. And then he said Tim, Apple, like just conflating the two ideas. Like I do honestly believe that he did not think his last name was Apple. And that the company was just started by Tim Apple. I got to walk off this podcast.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I never thought that I would be here the day when Jack Podcast supported Donald Trump. And that's wild to me, bro. It doesn't matter, though though because the point is that like it it's an easy thing for anyone to ignore but because of his very specific type of debilitating pathological narcissism he spent the entire weekend just fuming about yeah yeah because it's just a slip I mean because he did introduce him at the top as tim cook so he knew his name was tim cook but again i don't i know his brain is melting so of course he's gonna say some shit like tim apple not thinking anyway so first out of at a fundraiser uh he comes out and
Starting point is 00:41:36 he was just like man it's more fake news that i called him tim apple and he told these donors he goes i actually said tim cook apple really, and the cook part was left out. It was soft. So the way you heard it, it sounded like Tim Apple. Nick, please just play that one more time. And listen closely if you can hear Cook Apple. We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple. No.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Literally, he calls him Tim Apple. Tim Apple. Yeah, there's no room in between. It's not even Tick-Up to Couple. Anyway, Ted Couple. Yeah, and then again, after that, no one cared. We moved on because there's serious shit happening. You know, like global warming and all the biomass decreasing at an alarming rate,
Starting point is 00:42:18 climate chaos, anyway. So then he tweeted on Monday, he had to double the fuck down, even contradict his first explanation, which was, I said Tim Cook Apple, and then said, at a recent roundtable meeting of business executives, and long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim plus Apple as Tim slash Apple as an easy way to save time and words. The fake news was disparagingly all over this. It became yet another bad Trump story.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Can we stop and just talk about your Donald Trump impression? That's a great Donald Trump impression. When are you going to put out a tape for SNL? What are your other two characters that you're going to put on your SNL tape? That's got to be on there.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Australian guy. Australian Filipino guy. Oh yeah, you going to play that one. There's an Australian guy. Australian Filipino guy. Let me hear it. Oh, yeah, man. You going to play some basketball? Play basketball? What's the third one? The other one will just be, I think it'll be more of a conceptual thing. Will Ferrell got on by pretending he was a cat.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Everyone said that was a thing that really sold Lorne Michaels. I'm going to just do something of Confused Stoner or something really weird. I like that. You should do a guy who startsused Stoner or something really weird. I like that. I like that. You should do a guy who starts crying when the waiter comes for his- Oh, for the bill. Yeah. That's one of my favorite of your physical comedy bits.
Starting point is 00:43:33 My bits. Yeah. Oh, okay. If anybody ever comes and sees us live, get Miles to do it. Hey, hella people did this weekend. Yeah. Yeah. Congrats on that.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Congrats on that. It was a fucking great show. Shout out to everybody who came out from even Utah. Yeah. Thanks. Shout out, bro. Like multiple people came from Utah. Well, they were all married. Shout out to everybody who came out from even Utah. Yeah. Thanks. Shout out, bro. Like multiple people came from Utah. Well, they were all married.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Shout out to- Not even. Jackson. One of the Zeitgang Jackson chose to spend his 21st birthday with us. Oh. Fuck yeah. Damn, bro. And also, I'm ashamed the lack of ceremonial blunts and joints that were offered after
Starting point is 00:43:59 the show. Shout out to the one homegirl with the clipped joint. I appreciated that. But in San Francisco, they blessed the God with the pre-rolls. You couldn't smoke them fast enough. I mean, you could, but you shouldn't have been able to smoke them fast enough. That's how much, how many. I smoked three at once.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Right. But anyway, so yeah, he goes on, he doubled down on that. And it's just, he's so obsessed with Tim Apple. But again, I just like the idea that he's like, an easy way to save time and words. Like as if that was like a life hack he was trying to tell people he did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But let's adopt it, bro.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Let's do it. Let's adopt it. We'll call him Jack Stuff. Jack Stuff. Jack Heart Media. Yeah. Jack Cracked. Jack Cracked.
Starting point is 00:44:42 There you go. That's your superhero name. Oh, yeah, your rapper name. Like Petey Crack. What happened to Petey Crack? Who knows? I don't even know who you're talking about. Petey Crack was a forgotten Rockefeller artist.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Oh, yeah. Petey Crack? Yeah. Huh. That seems too straightforward. Like too on the nose. Thank you, Jack, for not knowing who he was. Because if Jack knew who he was and I didn't know who he was.
Starting point is 00:45:02 You would know Shakar. Petey Crack is a deep cut. He was on the Blueprint. Oh, he was? Yeah, and he's been on Freeway's album. But he's just one of those people who was featuring on- Oh, are you saying Petey? No, Petey.
Starting point is 00:45:11 He's P-E-E-D-I. P-E-E-D-I. Petey Crack was his name. Anyway, for all the old- That is a real bad, because that's very close to like a shortening of pedophile. Like Petey? Well, okay. I didn't really like that.
Starting point is 00:45:24 That's what I say. P.E.D.I.? Yeah, or like P.D., like he's police. Okay. That would be more interesting. I'm like, oh, really? Yeah. P.D.? All right.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Performance drugs. Let's talk about what the Republican Party is doing, the part that has access to their brain and actual strategic thinking, There's access to their brain and actual strategic thinking because I think they have stumbled onto a new way to drive progressives insane. Yeah. So just being out in the open with their racism. Openly racist. But then any slip up from Democrats that they think Democrats will be upset about. They call that shit out.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It's Alex Jones straight up. Screw you, racist. Yes. We have a quick roundup of many things. First, there was a man who was the field director for a Republican governor of Nebraska, Pete Ricketts' campaign. It was a successful reelection campaign. The anti-fascists in Nebraska, shout out to y'all, they found some of his you know where white nationalists love to go and talk that wild shit and this he had i mean so many wildly racist anti-semitic things he was saying
Starting point is 00:46:32 on there from basically saying like i'd probably run over like a black lives matter supporter for the lulz he's like but i have a white car so i don't know like you might get stained uh they're also just something he said he had more empathy for dogs than illegals he had just just a ton of anti-Semitic shit to say, like so much. So this doesn't even have to get specific. Like, you know, you know what it is already. And again, there wasn't much, I guess, outrage from the right. The governor's office was sort of like, oh, I had no idea this person was like that. But again, I'm not saying that the governor is responsible for knowing what this guy is saying privately,
Starting point is 00:47:04 especially if his campaign isn't being ran like that. But at the same time, another thing to say, oh, that's interesting. People with this ideology are attracted to your party. Right. Okay. We can just leave that there. Next, Jeanine Pirro. Judge Jeanine, the woman who could not get Robert Durst fucking convicted.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Right. She goes on her show and starts going off about Ilhan Omar and basically starts saying, you know, she wears a hijab. That's how she says it. That is the exact pronunciation. Flagrant pronunciation. I think she means she-jab. Damn. Got a hijab.
Starting point is 00:47:36 And I'm wondering if that rhetoric isn't being learned from the Democrat Party, then where is it coming from? Right. The Koran says in 59 colon 33 i'm like yo you know that's chapter and verse okay i know how to read bible verse shit and goes on to basically say like oh she probably supports sharia law we're like actually out here questioning the real dual loyalty shit we were talking about i said that's always used against especially muslim american people perfect he does that shit right there on camera to the point where Fox had to be like, this is not represent the values of our network. False.
Starting point is 00:48:12 And just some other really watered down shit. And again, another great example of you have people in your own punditry who are out here full voice Islamophobia with rhetoric that is good. I mean, like, i don't know what she thinks the viewers of fox news are gonna do you already had that the magavan guy and the shit he was up to cesar sayoc like ingesting this kind of wild shit and now you want to put this woman in a hijab in the fucking the spotlight and keep going this woman's anti-american she's a muslim like people are already aren't they already like photoshopping her picture next to the twin towers yeah and putting like saying like she needs to die like this is already can i can i can i interject yeah this is some wild shit to defend this nation
Starting point is 00:48:54 that people on the right haven't even been to you know i'm saying like this is what kind of gets me wild is like why do they have such a hard-on for israel besides like the whole end of the time bullshit that they think is going to happen? They believe it's their duty in revelations to protect the state of Israel because a fight for the state of Israel is what's going to trigger the end of the world. Look it up. But what's so trash to me is I've had a bunch of friends who go on birthright, and they've all come back and said that they didn't have a good time. So I'm a little bit confused as to why niggas are escaping so hard for this shit. Well, it's a specific part of establishment
Starting point is 00:49:26 politics on the left and the right. You know what I mean? It's just sort of been this given of foreign policy that Israel's one of our greatest allies in the region. We don't question anything they do. And let's just because they help us do
Starting point is 00:49:42 wild shit in the Middle East. Et cetera. But then I don't get any of the establishment shit either, because Omar came after Obama, which was like, I was like, that's my lady right there. But because, again, why would you cape for a dude who don't got a wet jump shot? You know what I'm saying? I just want to understand, why are we caping so hard for these people like they're perfect?
Starting point is 00:50:03 I don't even cape for Ana that hard. If somebody came after honor with a serious critique i'd be like you know what i hear your point like i get where you're coming from yeah you don't do a lot of shading in your drawings um so if there were something like that i'm saying if somebody was gonna do that i'm not saying that's a criticism art is art that was too specific bro that thought came out fully for yeah that was fully formed bro go look i'm i'm in art forum yeah check me out i mean i agree like in addition to the very specific like uh end of days shit there's also just you know if you buy into the whole samuel huntington like clash of civilizations shit you think well okay it's gonna be the islamic countries versus you know the u.s and israel yeah right and like basically there's gonna be another
Starting point is 00:50:53 fucking what are those wars called the crusades yeah there's gonna be another crusade and like it makes sense along those lines as well but could i ride with this theory and look maybe i'm gonna get canceled for this shit maybe i I shouldn't have said this, but why are we acting like that side, the saint side, has won those wars? I think it's like history has proven that they're kind of like 0 for 20-something, right? We've, you know, Crusades,
Starting point is 00:51:16 we ain't successfully win that shit. You're saying that Christianity hasn't dominated the earth? Nah, we haven't won. Well, that's not a hot take. That's a fact. Islam has been like, nah, get the fuck out of here. And they have.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Like, you know what I'm saying? Like we can't even win in Iraq. Like, so why are we out here being like, yeah, I want to make sure that I'm on Israel's side when shit goes down. Them niggas ain't win. Yeah, it's just about political influence at this point. This is wild to me, bro. And I think, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:39 I'm canceled. I don't care. This is wild. Well, the other thing, too, is it also underlines a generational shift because people our age are more like willing to be like, hold on. I know you guys are just sort of accepted that that's just sort of a thing we don't talk about. But we're looking at sort of the situation there. We're like, is this?
Starting point is 00:51:55 We vibe with this? That's what I'm saying, bro. And that's what's happening. It's just like when people didn't like J. Cole. It's a lot like that. Younger people coming through like, I don't fuck with J. Cole. I mean, not that they're the same. I think that Donald Trump should pull a KD
Starting point is 00:52:09 and just join the team that's been beating his ass this whole time. Russia? Sure, yeah. I mean, who knows? He might hop out of there. Let's get on to Tucker Carlson, too, because he's also having a really cool weekend. Right. Yeah. I mean, so Media because he's also having a really cool weekend. This shit's so funny.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Yeah. I mean, so Media Matters, you know, they be analyzing and constantly monitoring the things that are said in the right wing media on Fox. And they pulled up some appearances from when Tucker Carlson would call into Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show. Yes. sponge's radio show yes i reminded you earlier that he is the gentleman whose wife uh had sex with hulk hogan on the sex tape and who where hulk hogan says nigger yes yeah that would be the one where a lot of balls also like when you look at the court documents this dude was kind of like into watching hulk hogan like he was the one setting up the camera yeah so like he wanted to oh so he was getting he was getting cucked. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I mean, you know, where's worse people to be cucked by? You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. No, it's just funny. Like, that's his last, our last memory of Bubba Lewis is the guy who helped bring Gawker down indirectly.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah, because I was like, you know, if you think about, like, top 25 people to get cucked by, like celebrities, I wouldn't be surprised if Hulk Hogan was in your top 25. I would. I'd be like, yeah, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:26 I don't know. Just thinking of another bald man with my wife. It'd be heartbreaking. Anyway. So Tucker and Bubba had a lot of conversations. Tucker would call in weekly and just issue some of the more problematic takes you'll hear anywhere. This is only 10 years ago. This isn't when he was like a high school student.
Starting point is 00:53:49 And this was on a radio show. This was 2006 to 2011, I think. 2006 to 2011. Yeah. So he knew this was being broadcast out. He is the same person that was making these comments. I think we start out with him commenting on the news story at the time. Warren Jeffs, the polygamist compound leader, was being arrested
Starting point is 00:54:13 and tried for child rape. Yeah, an accessory to child rape. Yeah. So listen, and you know, Tucker tries to give us some perspective on this whole issue. No, he's an accessory to the rape of children. That is a felony and a serious one at that. What do he's an accessory to the rape of children that is a felony and a serious one at that what do you mean an accessory he's like got some weird religious cult where he thinks it's okay to you know marry underage girls but he didn't do it why wouldn't the guy who actually did it who had sex with an underage girl he should be the one who's doing life the right the rapist in this case has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person. So it is a little different.
Starting point is 00:54:49 I mean, let's just be honest about it. He said the rapist made a lifelong commitment to take care. So first he defends the dude who is the head of the compound who created the ideology and enforces it and makes these young women marry uh older men and basically encourages the sex and also himself was guilty of taking a number of child brides but then he suggests that these are people who like he's defending them for you know it's marriage they're making a pact to like fully refusing to see it from the perspective of the 16 year old girl who's being forced into
Starting point is 00:55:28 this marriage. Right, and for someone who has takes now who is like, oh, these pedophiles that are endangering the country it's like, hmm. You know what? I think we're looking at this the wrong way. Oh no. Oh shit. I think that we're not looking at the pure gift that this is for Tucker Carlson. I don't think many people
Starting point is 00:55:44 know what Tucker Carlson looks like. And that tucker caulson has an opportunity now to kill tucker caulson and go live somewhere else for free like he has this is a like look tucker right now i'm telling you take this l shut down fake your suicide and go live your life happy because if you don't do that right now you can continue taking L's for the rest of your life. I can see him being in Cabo, doing deep sea fishing trips, super tanned with wraparound sunglasses. That's what I'm saying. Nah, my name is Rick. And no one's going to question that. Yeah, you look like a Rick.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I believe you. But no, for him, it's a wrap, though. It's a wrap, bro. Too many people know what he looks like. Nah, come on. You couldn't draw Tucker Carlson right now if I asked you to. Oh, I could. All right, here you go.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Here's a pen. He has one of the more memorably punchable faces in the history of the human species, I would have to say. I mean, I think him and Spencer look the same to me, Richard Spencer. I can't tell them apart. Okay. There you go. That does look exactly like...
Starting point is 00:56:41 It's a jar. It's a jar of racist mayo. There you go. That was a big draw. There you go. That was a good drawing. That was beautiful. Anyway, so then he goes on. This next clip, I think, is about women.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Yeah, and sort of. These are my favorite clips. Yeah, how he basically says, I don't know, this is how Tucker's rules for getting women stimulated. Yeah, yeah. You know, in my brief experience, you, what gets women going is arguing with them. Really? Yeah. I never use that. It's true.
Starting point is 00:57:10 You debate politics with a woman and just go, you know, just full-blown out there, especially feminism. If you're talking to a feminist and she's giving you a, well, you know, men really need to be more sensitive and this, you know, actually, men don't need to be more sensitive.
Starting point is 00:57:23 You just need to be quiet and kind of do what you're told. And lighten up a little bit, bitch. They love it. They love it. Can't get enough of it. Anyway, again,
Starting point is 00:57:31 and this isn't even like that it's so shocking, but again, it just shows you how disingenuous he is just in general of like his selective outrage because on one side,
Starting point is 00:57:39 he loves just coming on and being like, oh yeah, you know, you gotta just tell a woman to shut the fuck up. Right. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Tucker's rules for successful marriages. And then it's like, oh yeah, you gotta just tell a woman to shut the fuck up. Right. Anyway. Tucker's rules for successful marriages. And then it's like, oh, you guys are sexist to Sarah Huckabee. Right. And it's like, no. Again, you have ceded any position of legitimate argument. Yeah, or moral superiority.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Yeah, it's gone. And then a last one. There was so much shit in these clips, but this is another one, just sort of like a mishmash of just different takes he had towards the end of this larger clip. You want to fuck Sarah Palin. Well, there's that. There's that. I'll agree with that.
Starting point is 00:58:14 I feel sorry for unattractive women. I mean, there's nothing they did, you know? What's better than hockey, weed, and whores? I mean... But you know, first of all, there's no Canadian woman that you'd want to pay to sleep with. Anybody who answers my trophy wife
Starting point is 00:58:29 as my favorite possession is my hero. I don't give a shit. I'm voting for the guy. Uh-huh. So, he also at one point, and I think we skipped over it,
Starting point is 00:58:37 but calls women primitive. He says women are just primitive, which is an interesting take. And also, Nev Campbell is bae and she's Canadian. Well, here's what I think, man. And I think I've said it before. Tucker, listen to your boy.
Starting point is 00:58:54 You can get out of this right now. Fake your own death. Fake your own death. Hit up Tupac's people, yeah. That's what I'm saying, bro. You're not coming back from this. There's no way. There's no way you are too white to come back from this.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Well, but he's on Fox, though. And that's the way. There's no way you are too white to come back from this. Well, but he's on Fox, though. And that's the thing. I think they're going to be fine. And then he tweeted this shit out. His response was pretty wild. Media Matters caught me saying something naughty on a radio show more than a decade ago. Rather than express the usual ritual contrition, how about this? I'm on television every weeknight live for an hour.
Starting point is 00:59:24 If you want to know what I think, you can watch. Anyone who disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why. Well, then I'll call you a dumb motherfucker and I won't air the episode. Right. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. They're free to come on and have their episode deleted because they get too many good points in. But again, you know, this is where the thoughts are on the right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:59:45 Can I tell you something, Miles? Don't put your Tucker Carlson impression on your SNL tape. Oh, I thought it was pretty good, man. It's pretty good, but I don't think it's as strong as Donald Trump. You know what I'm saying? Bring your strongest. And I hear Lauren likes wig stuff anyway. Well, you're going to need a wig to play Tucker Carlson.
Starting point is 01:00:01 I'm going to need a wig to play fucking anybody. Even The Rock. Come by the clubhouse. I'm going to need a wig to play fucking anybody. Even The Rock. Come by the clubhouse. I'll put you up. You can run your characters. At your Herald auditions workshop. Yeah, come work. I'll give you some tips.
Starting point is 01:00:13 All right, we're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

Starting point is 01:02:11 podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife
Starting point is 01:02:51 working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 01:03:10 or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.
Starting point is 01:03:28 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?
Starting point is 01:03:42 I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.
Starting point is 01:04:02 Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and just to kind of close out the story about Republicans cynically doing the thing that they're awful about at the top of their lungs and then criticizing the thing when Democrats like even hint at it or might even be confused for doing it. We have a attack ad that a conservative PAC has put out, I believe, on Mr. Beto O'Rourke. Okay, this will be good. Yeah. So it's probably a nuanced argument, a sort of like why conservative voters should not pick for Beto O'Rourke?
Starting point is 01:04:55 No, no, no, no. Oh, okay. It takes all the things that they think are ridiculous criticisms of their own party and points out why Beto O'Rourke is guilty of them because they're like, this is like poison to those liberals. Okay. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:11 It's long, but the gist is that he has white privilege. Can I perform it? Yes. Yes, please. Can I perform it? Yes, please. All right, dad, Nick, like, you know, just put some music under this. I got you.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Okay. Boom. Beto O'Rourke hates Mexican people. Obama has the best salsa. Beto. Yeah, there's some comparisons to Obama where people like to think they're the same, but Beto is conservative. Beto O'Rourke puts pineapples in his mashed potatoes.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Or wait, no, in his mashed potatoes. Or wait, no, in his potato salad. Obama be that nigga who got the good, good cooking head. Isn't that how it is? Yeah, it's basically. It's essentially, yeah, they're like hoisting Obama up on their shoulders. It really is. This black man overcame all this adversity, and they're like, look at white privilege. Beto O'Rourke crashed a car and got the charges dropped
Starting point is 01:06:05 Beto O'Rourke was a douche and a frat in college Barack Obama asked his white teacher to stop calling his students boy I don't understand what the deal was like the idea of calling Beto O'Rourke out for
Starting point is 01:06:21 what they're saying is his white privilege I'm not sure how that is a compelling argument because I feel like most conservatives don't even acknowledge the idea of white privilege. It's not a compelling argument to them. They think that they're just pulling some Jedi mind trick on the dumbs on the left to fall for this shit. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Oh, that's an ad for liberals? Yeah, that's an ad aimed at liberals to try to get them to not vote for beto o'rourke because they're scared of him but it's so confusing to me that like that doesn't even track to me i'm like what the fuck right well but it's i think they were hoping that people would just see it and take it at face value and not realize it was in it right and not realize that it was coming from conservatives who were just trying to, you know, tear a dude down. But what the telltale sign is, is that Beto O'Rourke isn't running against Barack Obama.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Right. Like, that's when immediately I'm just like, okay, yeah, that's true. But because he's running against people who are kind of just as trashy white privilege as him, including Cory Booker. So, like, I think, like, you know what I mean? Like, it's like hard. It's like, that's what gives it away to me was like, why is it so against, why are they measuring him up against Obama? Right.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Yeah, it's not as a, yeah. It's interesting because it also raises the possibility that, because this is going to be the focus, right? The 2020 Democratic primary is going to be the focus in the media for the next. 500 years. Exactly. It's going to seem like that. Y' for the next, you know. 500 years. Yes. Exactly. It's going to seem like that. Y'all not excited?
Starting point is 01:07:48 You sound disappointed. Y'all not excited, bro? I'm excited. I want to see these debates go down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I want to see a scene. The NBA Finals is going to be boring this year. No matter who makes it, it's going to be boring.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Like, this is the only sport that we got right now. Right. Yeah, really competitive. A lot of great prospects in there. We'll see what happens. It's like March Madness. Anybody could lose. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:08:07 But it's going to be interesting. People need to be monitoring not just Republicans and who they are supporting and trying to fuck with, but also Russia, because Russia is probably going to get involved and try to back somebody that they think has no shot or would compare poorly against Trump. That's true. Yeah, or Tulsi Gabbard, who they actually could just tell what to do. They're like, okay, Assad is good. Right, right. So don't go out there and say that.
Starting point is 01:08:34 This is going to be fire, guys. Oh, yeah. But it's just so wildly cynical, and I hope it's not working on people. Like, I don't know well i'd imagine anyone who understands the nuance of systemic racism white privilege barack obama beto o'rourke would watch that and be even confused be like okay what are those four words you just said i don't know what they mean which ones those four words systemic racism what's that white privilege yeah what obama rum uh-huh but yeah it's like it only works in the reality of how conservatives think liberals actually think which is they're
Starting point is 01:09:13 just like drone topic words that get thought activated so if they use that it's like but that's what is really concerned i'm like wait y'all don't even get how to use this shit this that's how white people talk to black people. You know, they'd be coming up to me and they'd be like, hey, you know, Michael Jordan, right? He's great. Just out of nowhere. And I'd be like, what the hell? I don't give a shit about that.
Starting point is 01:09:33 You're like, I actually had 10W30 motor oil. Yeah. Like, oh, anyway, yeah, we do. But hey, Michael Jordan. I'm down. I had his posters as a kid. Did y'all have that mini hoop that you could put on your wall that was a cutout of Michael Jordan? It wasn't licensed, so it just said Jordan across and not Bulls on his chest.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Anyway, a lot of people had that in the early 90s. Yeah, it'll be interesting. I'm assuming this is actually good for Beto O'Rourke because they're raising some of the things that somebody was going to raise. But because they are conservatives doing it, it probably makes those arguments. Yeah. Waste those arguments and also makes people like I definitely think of Beto O'Rourke now as a stronger candidate because clearly the conservatives are fucking scared of him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Yeah. Well, they saw what he did in Texas. And they're like this. If this guy was pulling, making moves and pulling the state left in Texas, there's something to be worried about if you're on the GOP. Can I bring up something that y'all have been avoiding? Yes, please. It's not on the list, though.
Starting point is 01:10:35 Is that okay? That's great. Why haven't y'all talked about LeBron James and the Lakers? Why have y'all had me here and y'all have been silent, Myles? Because I remember Myles came on my podcast and said that he was definitely going to the playoffs. I think you backed up Jaquese on his top four in the West. I thought, no, I'm not saying I'm still right. Look, for people who don't know, the Lakers are an absolute shambles.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Absolutely. A non-existent team. And I thought, you know, based on how the Lakers played, and you'd imagine logic would say, at least the flawed logic I was applying in this case, was like the addition of a LeBron James would help the team. But I told you he was going to get injured. Yeah, you did. No, no, no, you did.
Starting point is 01:11:18 That is a remarkable prediction because he has not been injured for his whole career. Yeah, and now it looks like the wheels are coming off. The wheels are coming off, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. But do you think I'm going to make my $200? What happened? Did we bet? Well, I mean, with Jaquese. Jaquese bet $100 that the Lakers are going to make the fourth seed.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Not happening. So he definitely got $100. But I bet him $100 that the Wolves will end with a better record. Wow. So that's what's happening right now. Right now the Wolves are ahead by one game. Wow. Damn.
Starting point is 01:11:44 I think you could. You think I'm going to make my $200? I don't know. I mean, I Wolves are ahead by one game. Wow. Damn. I think you could. You think I'm going to make my 200? I don't know. I mean, I could also see some kind of late-season push from the Lakers. Well, they just lost B.I. I know. But what does he have? The Chris Bosh disease.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Exactly. He does? Yeah. Wait. The blood clot thing? He does? In his shoulder. Deep vein thrombosis.
Starting point is 01:12:03 So is his career in jeopardy well apparently it's only an 11 chance of being a career end right right which is very low which sucks for chris bosh but like i mean at this point he was never gonna come back anyways but like so there is a terrifying he could come back but i don't know he's definitely not coming back this year yeah i think again it's funny because it's funny because I'm from L.A. I'm a lifelong Lakers fan, and I've been through terrible, terrible spells being a Lakers fan. And I was also one of the people who, when LeBron was going to come, I wasn't convinced that that would work because we have a terrible history of established superstars coming over and changing the fortune of the team.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Not since Shaq. Shaq was the last time there was someone who was established, a huge star, came to the Lakers, and it worked out. But even that ended in flames. Kareem worked pretty well for you guys, too. Yeah, Kareem. But I think that's a different era. You guys get the generational decade-defining free agencies, and then any time it's not that.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Yeah. I mean, look, I got through the fucking Randy fund years, fucking Bill Burka, Dell Harris. You know what I mean? Kurt Rambis, even for a little bit. So I'm just sort of like,
Starting point is 01:13:14 yeah, Lakers just are shit right now. Yeah. I'm not as like incensed as other people. Put it in my veins. Yeah. Put it in my fucking veins. No,
Starting point is 01:13:21 and like, that's why for me, I'm not like a, I'm not a shitty, like obnoxious Laker fan. That is true. Yeah. So like, it's not, and also I don not like a I'm not a shitty like obnoxious Laker fan I'm like yeah so like it's not and also I don't like Kobe so I'm like a rarity I'm like one of the
Starting point is 01:13:31 few people who wanted to trade him the second I saw that he was not the same person but anyway that's what's so wild about this whole like you know this Lakers heat thing is that all these people who are down and depressed they weren't Lakers fan until this nigga came here. Right.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Yeah, yeah. And that's what made me so mad was like, you know, hearing Jaquese Neal tell me, this man who's from Chicago, that the Lakers are going to be a fourth seed. Yeah. When their starting center is JaVale McGee. Yeah. And Rajon Rondo's their starting point guard. He's looking at me in the fucking eye, in the left, telling me they're going to be a fourth seed. I was right right
Starting point is 01:14:05 there with him being wrong about that well you know what because i didn't know he was gonna get injured i'm going to every podcast i've ever been on and talking about this yeah it's a victory tour i told y'all this thing was gonna come here and be ass uh edgar the oracle it's been wonderful having you here thank you so much where can people can people find you, man? You know what? I'm not going to plug my Twitter or my Instagram. I'm only going to plug one thing and one thing alone. Please watch Sad Boy Edgar. It helps me get jobs.
Starting point is 01:14:35 I'm being so serious. I recently went to a staffing meeting, and they were just like, yeah, we didn't read your pilot. It was very long, which is fair. I get it. They ain't got time. A pilot uses 140 pages. Yeah, it's only 31 pages.
