Guys, I only feel comfortable if I have a lanyard around my neck. at the guys I only feel comfortable if I have a lanyard around my neck and walked outside and the air was the moistest I've ever felt air outside of a bathroom or like a locker room sauna like a pool locker room I think indoor pool locker room that's very specific yeah like at the YMCA yeah exactly yep without the chlorine smell yes i was gonna say i just hear i like for some reason i just have all the smells with that description yeah yeah it doesn't just smell like chlorine to you when you hear that i was just thinking like bad body
Starting point is 00:05:12 odor from you know just chill in there yeah man ball yeah i think that's what i'm thinking yeah we got in a taxi just now and i'm really glad the driver was farting a bunch before we got in i don't think he was except expecting passengers. And I was like, hey, man, is it cool if we get in? I wish you'd have been like, yo, if you want to be 100 with you, I've been farting this entire time. That's amazing. Come on in, though. I mean, it's on you.
Starting point is 00:05:38 It's on you. You walked in. Well, Samantha, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today Such as asking Jay-Z, what the fuck is going on with you, man? What's happening? We're going to talk about Trump trying to get two Congresswomen banned from Israel Entering, yeah
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, entering Israel Not trying, did Did Leaned on them Successfully do that banned from Israel. Entering Israel. Not trying. Did. Leaned on them. Successfully do that. Uncle Joe's handlers are finding ways to hide him. We're going to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:06:14 The best places to hide a Joe Biden. We're going to talk about Steve King. We're going to talk about Epstein updates. We're going to talk about all sorts of shit today, guys. But first, Samantha, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, well, it's not necessarily revealing about who I am because, honestly, Google suggests so many wonderful things when I try to start typing things in. Just one letter, right. So we won't go there. But recently,
Starting point is 00:06:41 us at the HowStuffWorks slash iHeartMedia, this is why I don't talk in real life, but we talked about the fact there are nipples on the Batman costume. And the question, because my theory was that it's because it's trying to be like a bat, an actual bat. And then, so in my search history, it is do and how many and- I was just about to search that myself yeah do the bats have nipples and do they they do how many they have four four on under their wings oh wait what like on the wing or like on their sides like on their sides under on the rib cage yes go look
Starting point is 00:07:18 we were like what the hell so that kind of threw my theory out the window so it's batman and robin is the only bat suit with with nipples, right? I believe so. The George Clooney one. I believe so. Keaton had little nippy niplots. Did he? Did he?
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah, look. Is that Keaton or Cloon? No, that's Keaton. That's Val Kilmer. Oh, yeah. Wow. Get your life together. I know that jawline anywhere.
Starting point is 00:07:41 That is Kilmer. Get your life together. Oh, yeah. When I'm thinking of that one, that one has the bright yellow logo on it. Do you know how to know how many nipples an animal is going to have? You take the average number of children they give birth to, the average number of brood size, and double it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I learned that when I was trying to figure out how many nipples Chewbacca would have. Because we were very curious. I'm like, does Chewbacca, what's many nipples Chewbacca would have. Because we were very curious. I'm like, does Chewbacca, what's under there with Chewbacca? Does he? Yeah, well, I mean, people were like, yeah, Wookiees. And then someone was like, actually, Wookiees would have about four, maybe, their offspring. And I didn't realize there was the nipple law. But yeah, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:08:19 When you search bat nipples, it takes a while for you to actually get to a bat, the animal. It's all bat neophor's all George Clooney nipples. Don't worry about what I do in my off times, y'all. Yeah, but I like that theory. Yeah, interesting. That was my theory. It went out the window. Because they would need multiple,
Starting point is 00:08:34 and there should be multiple nipples. Yeah. That would be funny, though, if it was like that. And also like a weird-ass bat dick on the front. Wait, do bats have weird dicks? I feel like you already knew that before you even searched. Look, I didn't go that far.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I know koalas have bifurcated penises. Penis? Yo! Just telling you. Koalas have weird dicks? Yo, bats are packing, bro. Wait, what? Look at this motherfucker right here.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Wow. Whoa, wait. This one I think is also bifurcated wait wait wait is that true is that a true no i don't know no someone has it miles did you just photoshop that yeah you just pulled that off your hard drive actually so now i have to get more specific real life bat penis image samantha what is something you think is overrated? Something overrated? I'm going to say anything that has to do with toast being your breakfast. So like avocado toast or whatever instead of actual breakfast because that just seems
Starting point is 00:09:36 like a fake. I know you guys are from California. No, no, no. I'm egg gang. Look, bacon. Yeah, bacon too. I'm going to need my bacon. Cinnamon toast crunch?
Starting point is 00:09:46 Cereal? Is that breakfast? I mean, does it have avocado on it? I don't know. Did you imagine just spooning half avocado on the smallest thing in the world? Like, oh, it's so good. Half an avocado with my milk and cinnamon sugar.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I'm sure that's like a joke somewhere. What's a real breakfast to you? What's the minimum? So because I am from Georgia, one of my favorite things to have is the sausage and gravy with a delicious fluffy biscuit. Oh, yeah. And that is the shit.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Okay, so eggs necessarily don't have to be a part of it. It doesn't necessarily have to, but actually the sunny side up eggs on it, yeah, that's a heart attack, but it's delightful. Yeah, but it's a heart attack. You'll have a good time. Yeah, you know what? Worth it. Yeah eggs on it. Yeah, that's a heart attack, but it's delightful. Yeah, but it's a heart attack. You'll have a good time. Yeah, you know what? Worth it.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah. Worth it. My left arm's starting to tingle already. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Word searches, y'all. Word searches? Yes, they're delightful.
Starting point is 00:10:39 And all you do is just stare at a paper. And find those words. And find those words. Word searches. If you can't figure that out twist them to the side if you're dyslexic that's how it works oh okay
Starting point is 00:10:48 versus like crossword puzzles yeah I don't like crossword puzzles why is that? I don't know if it just makes me angry I think because if I make a mistake with a pen
Starting point is 00:10:55 it's over and I'm pissed off you gotta use the New York Times app but they only get like three for free and I've been trying to scam my way
Starting point is 00:11:02 into not paying for I feel like crossword puzzles should be a right. Yeah. I also think it's a little pretentious. I think people do it just to say they're smart. Wow. It's also like-
Starting point is 00:11:10 So you're just like, let me show you what. My eye is good at identifying letters in a sequence that make words. Yeah, and I know how to spell words. Right. Boom. Yeah. But not really because I can't do a spelling bee, but I can look at it and know that's about it.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Right. When was the last time you did a word search? Yesterday. Nice. Wait, where? Phone word search like paper like a sudoku like some people have a sudoku book you got a word search i have it with a little spiral binding and everything wow are there hard ones though hard word searches like yeah yeah so you know they change it up a little bit so you have to make squares or you have to fill out some of the letters yourselves okay it's in different shapes okay i didn't know that was a thing i might have to get into that bring the book to the party you want to have a party yeah bring the book to the party tonight yeah we're gonna go to the party that's the biggest party let's do word search that would be so podcasty they're like and those are two podcast hosts doing a fucking word search at a
Starting point is 00:12:02 party with free alcohol but we're drinking yeah so you know that makes it an adult and i'm like no it's a squirt oh that could be a triangle though i think it says bifurcated bad penis yes that's what i try to find are there like super long words then too so like they kind of fuck with you yeah they fuck with you they do it with the different languages as well oh and they'll do specific names so if you have a theme type of thing but wait but hold on philosophers you're throwing all this shade on crossword puzzles but at the same time you're also kind of describing something that requires a good amount of knowledge to be good at too so at the same time you have the answer there that requires no knowledge well but if it's a foreign language like i don't have to go and look things up by the clue contest right right right yeah put it into a box. Got it. What is a myth? What's something people think is true
Starting point is 00:12:46 you know to be false? The soulmate bullshit. That there's a soulmate? Yeah. Go on. My theory, because come on, y'all. We all want to talk about the one.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Come on. There's a reason people get divorced. Right. Because it didn't work out and some people stay together because they can work shit out together. Sure. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I think it's all about a willingness to put your shit aside and work. Right. Because it didn't work out. And some people stay together because they can work shit out together. Sure. Right. I think it's all about a willingness to put your shit aside and work. Right. Because, yeah, it's always easy to think like in the beginning when you have been alone and horny for a long time that that person's like, this is great, man. Right. They get it and it's fine. And then you start having to be like, okay, well, here are my deficiencies. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Am I willing to accept that? Yes. And yeah, that's true. I mean, what do you accept for me it's like I just want to be laid on so sure you could be the one
Starting point is 00:13:29 yeah right just lay on me I just want to be laid on I mean come on it doesn't take much yeah yeah do you have a weighted blanket I do not
Starting point is 00:13:36 recreate the feeling of being laid on so the only reason I don't have a weighted blanket because I've been trying like my friend has one it's hard to move yeah
Starting point is 00:13:44 to actually pick up and put on you yeah put the effort to try to put it on me correctly right too much that makes me anxious and angry so i just try to have like hold my dog on me and yeah yeah yeah yeah do you make your do you hold your dog upon your chest or in your arms okay sometimes i will so she's 45 pounds oh yeah that is a fucking way exactly so it's just like right here you know she's 45 pounds oh yeah that is a fucking way to exactly so it's just like right here you know she's right here she hates it she's a mutt okay she's kind of a cunt damn she's a big that's a big ass mutt though 45 pounds you don't you can't even tell what what it is so she's probably part you do you want i'll show you yeah yeah this is the section where we look at phone
Starting point is 00:14:19 pictures on our phones uh this is what i do in life. It's just look at dog pictures. Oh, yeah. That's muddy. I like that dog. What's her name? Her name is Peaches Gertrude McFuzzin. Peaches Gertrude, what was the last name?
Starting point is 00:14:33 McFuzzin. What's McFuzzin? So there is an actual Dr. Seuss book called Gertrude McFuzz. Oh. And love, love that name. And so I incorporated it
Starting point is 00:14:43 in my dog. And Peaches because of Georgia? Well, no, that's what her name was when I adopted her. And I liked it enough. I was like, I'll keep it. And then added Gertrude. Yeah, Gertrude McFuzzen. And so when I scream at her that way.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Oh, you do the full name. I really do. I really do. Yeah. All right. Well, let's talk about Jay-Z. Yeah. He should have had more reasonable doubts about this partnership.
Starting point is 00:15:04 You really can't knock the hustle, Jack, can you? Yeah. You should have had more reasonable doubts about this partnership. You really can't knock the hustle, Jack, can you? Yeah. He really surprised the shit out of many people when he announced that Roc Nation was making a deal with the NFL to do entertainment, music production, I guess for halftime shows and things like that. And even some of their activism like in sort of you know going off of what was going on with Colin Kaepernick's protests
Starting point is 00:15:30 and a lot of people were like hold on you're getting in bed with the NFL like and Kaep is still not on a team like what makes sense here many people were just asking questions like what is Colin Kaepernick going to think of this? I thought you supported Colin Kaepernick how does this square with everything you've been doing?
Starting point is 00:15:47 Because when you look at all of his social justice activism right now, he's been very active. I'm going to give credit to Beyonce for that one. Sure, whatever. She's the queen. But I'm saying in the sense that I can't knock what he's done so far. To see this almost seems very antithetical to everything before. But his quote quote was you can't just throw someone out if they make a mistake this is the real world you can't say oh you made a mistake you're canceled i'm never speaking to you again
Starting point is 00:16:13 that doesn't accomplish anything that's what i believe i believe real change is had through real conversation and real work okay i understand that sentiment but like to sort of you know when you look at the nfl and how they're treating these play, like Colin Kaepernick and the way they're not willing to actually engage on these actual issues of what they're protesting. To me, I'm like, OK, I get it. Like it's you're using like a take on cancel culture to justify this. But you are still making a lot of money from this. Right. I can't deal with him sitting next to Roger Goodell.
Starting point is 00:16:42 That photo looks fucked. That bums me out. I have a question about that because they're not NFL's not next to Roger Goodell laughing. That photo looked fucked. That bums me out. I have a question about that because NFL's not trying to fix anything. Right. They're really not giving a shit. Colin has not come back with any offers. Has he? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Exactly. He's gone as well as the fact they still put in the fact they don't want people to kneel. Don't they have a new policy in that or did that go away? Which one? About the kneeling. I think last year they did have a new policy where- They couldn't kneel and they have um don't they have a new policy in that or did that go away which one last year they did have a new policy where yeah you could kneel in the like if you wanted to kneel you had to do it back in the lock well yeah they have a new initiative called uh inspire change an initiative for social justice uh and like it's just a lot of boilerplate like feel-good stuff and i don't know don't directly cause change inspire change
Starting point is 00:17:25 inspire it by like just doing passively and without physical fact yeah just photos that might inspire something well I mean the NFL is bullshitted
Starting point is 00:17:32 when it comes to domestic violence and sexual assault stuff too so I'm like they don't give a shit period that's why it's so hard
Starting point is 00:17:38 for me to believe to look at them like you really think they give a fuck they're not making any changes they don't care and everyone is really
Starting point is 00:17:44 I mean Eric Reid was just could in disbelief apparently they were saying uh i think jay-z somebody had said that or report reportedly said he had discussed this with colin kaepernick and as i came i was like that is not true by any stretch of the imagination like this man is still like not on a team and he's still paying the price for this and you're just using Jay-Z to wash this over. And someone asked would you kneel during an anthem given your support of Colin Kaepernick? He wore a Kaepernick jersey during an SNL performance.
Starting point is 00:18:14 He's been a supporter. He was like, oh, we're past kneeling. It's time for action. Who decided that? Someone who's trying to rationalize why he just got in bed with the NFL for $20. So his call to action is to make money yeah it's just yeah that's so the one thing you can say is that he's never hidden the fact that he is a hustler yes and he's all about making money it's just weird that suddenly he found a heart in these other areas right and then now it's like
Starting point is 00:18:43 this is not going to help Colin Kaepernick and what he's trying to do this is like a way for just again the NFL to be like well you know we moved on we got Jay-Z in that photo and uh nothing to see here yep right I mean drug dealers are partially predatory capitalists and this is right that's who the NFL is also and as he said he sold it all from crack to OPM in third person yeah and also he's a billionaire he is isn't he one of the richest musicians
Starting point is 00:19:14 I think even bigger than Beyonce because of all of his business things which is wild because he's had this like came from Marcy out of nowhere just rapping you know and a lot of people you stole a lot of big rhymes okay fine but he's still a great rapper uh and you know he fell off later on his career but that's a whole other podcast
Starting point is 00:19:33 we can yeah and it's it he was a kind of inspiring but yeah it's weird I guess you know look fucking get he's all about his fucking money by any means right yeah he said I think it's bad for the soul being that rich oh yeah you start like once you become a billionaire you start just like looking at roger goodell being like this guy's chill yeah this guy seems like a good guy wait what don't you like about roger yeah yeah he's cool man like he he knows some of my albums he gets it yeah um i would like to be a billionaire though yeah billionaires you know i don't think nobody needs to be a billionaire i just want some new money yeah you know i mean let's get it everybody needs a house yeah i'm poor so let's get you a house yes i don't have one of those okay let's get everybody a house
Starting point is 00:20:11 i'm renting oh in atlanta yeah how's the market there uh it's going well is that what you're asking i don't know i was trying to pivot into like a real estate podcast i'm like what's the market like i'm like i don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about. I don't know, because I rent. That is why I rent. I don't know. Nah, it's growing for sure. Gentrifying a lot of areas very, very, very quickly. You know, the same old, same old.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah, everywhere you go. Slowly pushing out all the- Local people who need affordable housing. Right. And then turn it into Airbnbs. The story of LA. Oh, Atlanta's quickly becoming that as well story of everything of yeah yeah the black rock apparently owns like all the houses
Starting point is 00:20:52 in america now they oh like just some absurd fraction or not even a fraction number of the houses atlanta tried to do all the airbnbs when we had the Super Bowl. No one came. No one cared. Oh, really? Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. We bailed out the banks.
Starting point is 00:21:11 So they were the ones who, when the housing market crashed, so they just bought up all the houses. We being me and Miles. Yeah. Cool. That was our decision. But look, I might break you off of the house. I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:21:20 You seem cool. That means I need to be friends with you for real. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're billionaires. I got you. Hey, y'all.
Starting point is 00:21:25 You want me to go? Actually, we want to rebrand it as chillionaires. You know what I mean? I feel like billionaire is like a slur right now. Right, right. We're actually pretty chill. All right. We're going to take a quick break.
Starting point is 00:21:35 We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black.
Starting point is 00:24:07 I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious.
Starting point is 00:25:07 She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalaitlin clark versus angel reese on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back uh let's talk about donald trump's tweets about Donald Trump's tweets about Representative Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Let me just read his tweet because it is some next level, like second grader. It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Representative Omar and Representative Clay to visit. They hate Israel and all Jewish people, and there's nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!
Starting point is 00:26:19 It's just so far... Someone who's bad at lying, just being like... And they said you're ugly and they hate you and your mom sucks too i don't know how if you're a real man yeah right yeah i mean like i think it was trying to be like uh sort of remind them of a move that there was like you know a law that they could have enforced about people who were like you know advocating for boycotting israel that they wouldn't be allowed into the country but yeah this was just him retaliating
Starting point is 00:26:49 against these representatives um because they've been critical of the israeli government and their foreign policy not again all jewish people right which is the jump people make uh so yeah it's it's just kind of the same old shit over and over again but now it's like just playing out in even more and more just transparently superficial shallow insecure ways from the president great leadership thank you yes yes um so you know the saga continues with them too and then everyone's still just sort of jumping on that same lame ass logic of criticizing a government means you hate all of its people. Right, right. You're not American.
Starting point is 00:27:31 How dare you? Right. Yeah. Yeah. On top of all that too. And then not to mention when he's talking about, oh, they're going to face like a real tough, you know, reelection. I mean, like their approval numbers are still better than his. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:41 So find a new angle. Find a new angle, Don. It's a normal collar. Let's talk about Joe Biden, guys. His handlers are worried. They're starting to take some pages out of the George W. Bush handbook of what his handlers would do to hide him because he was gaffful. He's gaffful.
Starting point is 00:28:02 He was a gaffer. Yeah. And so they're starting to hide him towards the end of the day. Well, yeah, because the last month, and really even the last week, has been pretty intense with some of my favorite gaffes from Joe Biden. The first one was at the debate for me personally, when he said, go to Joe 30330. 303 30 like what yeah when it was supposed to be text joe to 303 like and it was like okay that's definitely the moment you're like oh uncle joe
Starting point is 00:28:33 you're like oh come on go to bed go to bed right it's time for bed and then when he said oh uh you know uh brown kids are just or no what do you say Poor kids are just as good as white kids? Or just as smart as white kids? I mean, wealthy, and I mean black, and Asian, everything, such as the Iraq, geography. Yeah, and it was, that was another one where people were like, ugh. Then, we didn't talk about this, but then he said that he had met with the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after the Parkland shooting while he was vice president. Joe, Joe, you weren't vice president. Right. And I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Did he actually meet them? I doubt it. He may have. Who knows? I mean, in his fairness, he's had to console a lot of people. He's had to console a bunch of school shooting victims. But you can't put your chest out like that and be like, and I consoled them. You could have been like, you know, you can say I've had to bring the country together.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Together. Together. Together. Together. Yeah. Together, man. He's from. Are you trying to been like you know you can you can say i've had to bring the country together together together together together together yeah together man he's from are you trying to sound like me together jay do they do uh ths are like ds it doesn't matter nothing makes sense doesn't make sense but yeah so basically the whole idea is that what they're saying is according to the allies around the uh the campaign who are really nervous about this because they're like, you know, every time he does this, it kind of moves the needle, but it doesn't seem to, even though we all know what Joe Biden is like. They say Biden has a tendency to make the blunders late in the day, particularly after a long swing on the road like he had last week in Iowa. They say something needs to be done to give the candidate more downtime as the campaign intensifies in the fall. So it's like, oh, your old toy
Starting point is 00:30:10 has a little bit of battery left in it, so don't play with it all day. Because it's going to start talking like this when the energy's out. Charge it, charge it, charge it. Which makes it a great president. Someone who dies out very quickly. I mean, wait, 77? Did you hear the thing? Did you hear about this thing that happened in 1988,
Starting point is 00:30:29 the first time he ran for president? He had like a brain hemorrhage or something? A brain aneurysm? Oh, wow. It was too stressful for him when he was a younger man. Oh, yeah. I mean, look, like we say every time, we're like, come on, Joe. Thank you for being vice president.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Thank you for your service, sir. Thank you for the memes. Yes, thank you for being vice president thank you for your service sir thank you yes thank you for the memes thank you for all the weird touching yes uh and uncomfortable right yeah he's definitely that uncomfortable uncle that you never want to hug right because he lingers a little too long just the way he like grabs kids faces even though it's like just no it's just weird yeah it's a lot so we'll see you know the primaries are chugging along or the you know as the as we get closer and closer to the nomination yeah we'll see it looks like people are gaining ground yeah it does look like uh elizabeth warren is gaining ground there was a recent poll that said that she is now statistically in a tie with Biden nationwide.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Leads by five in Wisconsin. Warren leads him 28% to 17% in Iowa. That's a poll that just came out. Whereas back in May, he was up 24% to 12% on her. So he has lost a ton of ground in Iowa, which is where most of those gaffes have taken place. The people are just as good as white kids thing happened at the Iowa State Fair. He was just like melting in the sun. Now you can't keep him out in the sun like that.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I mean, you leave him out in the sun, he's going to start melting a little bit. Yeah, exactly. He needs a nap too. They should just build in a nap for him. But Warren is coming on strong. Another thing that has been mentioned is that Stacey Abrams might run for VP. Yeah, would
Starting point is 00:32:13 accept a VP nomination. She said she'd be honored to be someone's running mate for the eventual nominee. I think we've talked about how amazing that would be for the two of them and also like there was an interesting piece in the in new republic that was just sort of talking about the difference between her and tom steyer like where they both have political ambitions
Starting point is 00:32:34 but going about it in the just like opposite ways like tom steyer is trying to use a brute force approach to just spending a bunch of money for the glamour of running for president. Stacey Abrams has a longer view. And with her new Fair Fight 2020 campaign, which is about combating voter suppression, she's trying to lay the foundation that will benefit the party in years to come. And also for herself, because she's building infrastructure for herself with these initiatives too. And they're saying like, yeah, that actually makes more sense versus most people, as you could tell
Starting point is 00:33:06 with the amount of people who still want to be running for president. Everybody just wants to shine and not sort of looking to what might be the best move for them politically or just for the party. Is Steyer still in the race? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:18 He is? Yeah. Was he in any of the debates? No, but I think he's making the next one. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, you know, some people people they just uh they love the shine you think he puts that out there and there's like not that big a splash and he's not suddenly like surging in the polls he'd be like ah i was just
Starting point is 00:33:36 fucking around just want to see what was happening yeah because they're it's just not going to happen for him well he i mean look he was able to basically buy his way onto that debate stage. Right, which is a cool look. I mean, that's what you want in a presidential candidate. That's like that, yeah. That's like that kid. Rich kid who just takes his ball and goes home. Yeah, or like the kid on your team who's like the coach's son who's like starting. You're like, bro, you shouldn't be out here with us.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Right. You're on the bench. Yeah. But look at you. Yeah, coach's kids, they're the worst, huh? Oh, whoops. Sorryops sorry jack is that you no my dad never coached me oh see no conflict of interest no problem yeah uh let's talk about steve king uh do you like my transitions by the way you are a professional podcaster yeah this is and uh and so you can appreciate how i just say let's talk about this i'm having like a tennis match moment watching the two of you it's just fantastic like the referee yeah yeah yeah i don't know why steve king is
Starting point is 00:34:29 still fucking here like alive i mean like in office this motherfucker i mean even when he went full himmler with his like white nationalism and people like yo get the fuck out what the fuck are you saying bro like get the fuck out no he wasn't gonna do it people don't like him in his home state no yeah well we'll see hopefully they will actually you know not re-elect him again but anyway his newest gaffe or not even gaffe this is his worldview his newest demonstration of his worldview came when he was basically defending these draconian heartbeat bills like with abortion um because there are a lot of these bills that have no exemptions for rape or incest cases and he says what if we went back through all the family trees
Starting point is 00:35:07 and just pulled out anyone who was the product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that? Wait, what? Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can't say that I was not a part of a product of that. Excuse me? I can't say that I was not a part of a product of that excuse me I don't so the only reason we all exist is because everybody's been right being alright yeah everything is right part of God's plan oh dear yeah
Starting point is 00:35:34 but again this is that's the logic that a lot of these people who think that rape or incest is fine it's like well people procreate right I mean yeah that's I think part of the problem with the conservative ideology is you're trying to conserve ideas that we have progressed beyond and just because something happened in history does not mean that that's a thing to strive for yeah i mean his all the rapes and pillages that happened around the world and then being like saying guys you never know you you might be here because of that millions of years ago is like such a bizarre bizarre defense there was a woman who they interviewed uh that's in his district like
Starting point is 00:36:19 for a reaction and she looked so disheartened she was like an elderly iowan woman and she was like when he says things like that the country laughs at us yeah and she no she looked fucked up like it really i was like oh but i feel that way with our president in itself yeah exactly i'm sorry yeah it's not just everybody it's not just you. Everybody. It's not just you. Yeah. The whole world is laughing at us. Ah, they should. Well, it's like, you know, when Bush was president, and he used to go to, like, Europe and stuff, and people would be like, you're fucking American.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Oh, my goodness. Canadian, eh? I'm like, oh, I'm Japanese. I'm like, no, I mean, I just look like this. I would always be like, I'm Japanese. I just speak English very well. Right. Let's just take a
Starting point is 00:37:05 couple updates from the world of uh the jeffrey epstein investigation uh we learned from his autopsy that he had a broken neck a specific bone broken in his neck that is present in i think it's like 20% of hangings and like 70 something percent of murders by strangulation and they were saying that it can be consistent with a suicide by hanging if there's like a really long drop
Starting point is 00:37:38 which wasn't present in this case. Yeah they said it would have had to have been from his bunk bed or something. Right yeah so seems weird in this case? Yeah, they said it would have had to have been from his bunk bed or something. Right, yeah. So, seems weird. It gets murkier and murkier. Murkier and murkier. I believe you're trying to say
Starting point is 00:37:54 murderier and murderier. Again, even just thinking of the amount of time it took to go to his island, like days, I don't know. There's just, and again, these stories that are coming out just fuel more and more speculation about it on either side. And it's not, it doesn't seem like the Department of Justice is really doing a good job, like
Starting point is 00:38:16 explaining everything either. Wasn't there something that was brought up earlier today because they re-interviewed his bodyguard? Yeah. Yeah. He was saying that anybody who wants to stay safe should not ask questions about Epstein's relationship to cops because he would get tipped off before they would raid his Palm Beach. And then when that journalist kept asking him,
Starting point is 00:38:39 he was like, oh, come on, come on, don't ask me about that. And he's like, well, let me read you the quote. Like you said, 8 a.m. the next day there would be a raid, just me about that. And he's like, well, let me read you the quote. Like you said, 8 a.m. the next day, there'll be a raid just so you know. And he's like, look. He's like, why are you trying to make it hot for me? Which shows you this person. This is an MMA fighter.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Yeah, right. But he also said that he thinks Epstein had some help killing himself and left it at that. And then one other detail, just going with what you were saying, Miles, about pedophile. Three weeks before the Miami Herald expose was going to come out, when he had been being asked for comment by the journalist, I'm sure, a number of times, he shipped a cement truck
Starting point is 00:39:18 to his island, Little Jeffrey. island the little jeffrey uh and in a way that it was like really unusual and costly he had to pay for it in advance with cash to get it there quickly and he did that um and so people are speculating that he literally did that to cover up evidence like with concrete with cement it's just all so shady yeah like and then even then like there was there's still the questions around what happened the first time they said there was a suicide attempt like whether or not his celly assaulted him a cop yeah who was an ex dirty cop oh wow and it's just like yeah i missed that i try to avoid him at all costs but i mean yeah no i know i tried right right yeah no i mean eventually yeah well who knows if we'll get to the bottom of this um but that was the hopes when you know this trial began is that there would be
Starting point is 00:40:15 some justice yeah we'll see we will and there might not be so we we'll see. There's a recent story about this young woman, a missionary who traveled to... Uganda. Uganda. So she went on a mission to Uganda when she was a teenager and then went back after she, I think, graduated college and opened a clinic for malnourished children and began treating them medically even though she had no medical training uh started a health
Starting point is 00:40:56 clinic essentially started wearing a white jacket around uh like she was a fucking doctor wearing a stethoscope people just treated her like a doctor and so this registered nurse came through like a trained nurse and was like why is everyone treating you like you're a doctor right and she was she like saw her do a blood transfusion and the child just like blew up like puffed up the child survived right she just didn't know what the fuck she was doing they say that over 100 children died in her care yeah and they're even saying statistically for the types of like cases she might have been treating in uganda it was extremely high like for i think she saw something like 940 children and 105 died and yo i mean look white savior complex is wild
Starting point is 00:41:44 y'all like really because she just went she went home to virginia and was like you know what i need to start a charity in uganda with no medical experience just because i think i can right and like there a lot of articles are pointing to the fact that a lot of people just come in you know wanting to help with a total disregard for like what the actual laws are and what's actually going to help people versus like, well, this is how I want to help people. I think that's a huge problem. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:42:13 I just get angry every time I think about it. As a social worker, I see this often. Just in seeing adoptions happen, and I'm adopted as well, but just watching how many white couples think they're going to save a kid and then be disappointed and send a kid back, essentially. Like, return a child. Are you serious? Because they don't understand, hey, motherfucker, these kids have gone through shit. Yeah, they have trauma.
Starting point is 00:42:36 And they're not going to like you as much as you think they will. Like, it's inevitable. Inevitably, something's going to go wrong and you're going to need to get help for these kids. And they don't understand that. Don't get me wrong. There's definitely some great people. And I'm grateful. My parents are wonderful. All that good stuff. We're very different. They're very conservative. I am not. We work through things because they're family. However, I think what it comes down to is they don't understand and they think they're doing something so big and so huge. And I see that with all the missionaries too. Again, their mindset is
Starting point is 00:43:06 better than nothing. What we're doing for them is better than nothing. And it's all about how they feel in the end. Like, oh, I'm here to save you, and I'm amazing, and Jesus is going to forgive me for all the things I did at home. She was 20 or something. Yeah, she was in her 20s. This is one of those situations
Starting point is 00:43:22 where good intentions are actually, like, it's not just that good intentions are not enough. It's that they can be very dangerous if you're just like, I just want to do good for the world. But you're doing good stupidly, like in a way that is not well informed and not guided by, you know, thought and consideration. by thought and consideration. There's actually research that shows people are less likely to feel empathy for a hand being stabbed with a needle if it's not the same color as them.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And they actually said that the magnitude of the bias correlates positively with the magnitude of the participant's self-reported empathy. So basically, if somebody reported themselves as having a lot of empathy they were more likely to have that bias against like feeling empathy for somebody of a different race oh like if seeing an image of like a hand being pricked with a needle or whatever so people who think they have a lot of empathy tend to like overestimate uh drastically like more than even the average person how much uh empathy they have for people of other races yeah well i mean i know that they
Starting point is 00:44:34 are trying to bring her to justice in uganda right um as they should yeah i mean it's just this you can't it's not enough to just want to help especially when you're talking about really complex issues we need people who are down to do some physical labor it's like you're doing blood transfusions with no medical training whatsoever and then basically she also had a blog
Starting point is 00:44:58 where she was keeping people up to date so the whole thing was like let me pat myself on the fucking back and let me tell you about these stories about this child who I brought back from the brink. Her hanging out with the kids in dirty clothes as she's hugging them and all those cute pictures.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Yeah. Because that's all that matters. Right. And then meanwhile, I mean, you know. And then they die a day later. Yeah. Right. She tells these stories like it's fan fiction from like ER.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Like she's like the star and like she's walking in there just like saving these children. Yeah. I hooked the baby up to oxygen and got to work. Yes. Took her temperature, started an IV, checked her blood sugar, tested for malaria, and looked at her HB count, her hemoglobin. Right. I was attempting to diagnose the many problems that could potentially be at hand.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Got it. Malaria, positive, HB 3.2. Like. Yes. Like the way it's written, it's like, I'm sorry,'m sorry what so yeah it's like no one called her out yeah what the fuck are you doing well that's when that nurse showed up and was like yo right you're wearing a stethoscope that's very misleading bitch take that off yeah yes and then she was like trying to defend herself i never wore i never wore stethoscope it's like well look i'm reading your blog so this woman is lying right so
Starting point is 00:46:03 were you when you were writing about this? Yeah. All right, we're going to take one more quick break, and then we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

Starting point is 00:49:23 People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.

Starting point is 00:50:12 And we're back. And there was an interview. Sarah Silverman went on the Bill Simmons podcast. Yeah. So she talked about the fact that a skit that she did uh back on the sarah silverman show has uh got her fired recently from a movie yeah because she she was in blackface and when when blackface palooza was going off whenever that was last year with everybody like i too maybe once did a michael jackson impersonation with shoe polish in my yearbook
Starting point is 00:50:43 nine times a year. She was also upfront about this sketch she did. She's like, I'm really not proud of it. It was really fucking stupid to do. I was on some pure liberal, I think I'm helping type shit. I thought I was using racism to defeat racism, and I was just racism. She mentioned that it basically cost her a gig. She said, I was recently going to do a movie, a sweet part.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Then at 11 p.m. the night before, they fired me because they saw a picture of me in blackface from that episode. I didn't fight it. They hired someone else who was wonderful but who has never stuck their neck out. It was so disheartening. It just made me real, real sad because I really kind of devoted my life to making it right. Now, the answer is a little this yeah that was i don't first half was good yeah right where she described she was fired
Starting point is 00:51:31 i didn't fight it and just being fly but then taking the shot there's someone else who didn't put their neck out who didn't i'm sorry about what by doing blackface right that's that's what i'm curious about what does that mean or was maybe saying someone who is less political because sarah silverman has become much more political then she said she's spent her life trying to make it right well i think because she's been very open about like it was a mistake and i feel i feel so embarrassed but at the same time look that is up to the discretion of the person who is casting your part if they see you in blackface and they are not comfortable with you playing that part that's their prerogative yeah and that's just something you have to deal with because you were the one who decided to do that so just take the l and don't be like well i don't know like i'm really
Starting point is 00:52:11 disappointed right like be disappointed in your fucking self that's right that's on you and especially like you're a public figure casting you is like that picture of you is on the internet like that goes into what people think about i wonder if it was like one of those things where she really believed that maybe she was fired because she is so out so vocal politically that like the producers were like you know just so we're not like alienating like we can get the broadest possible you know spread of the audience get someone a little less controversial. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:46 I mean, look, come on, Sarah. Come on, Sarah. They never stuck their neck out. I'm really trying to... I need to listen. I want to hear the whole thing in context, but it still sounds like she's bigging herself up. Right. Calm down.
Starting point is 00:52:58 That's sad for you. Believe me, I'm sad. Some other comedian who didn't stick their neck out and do blackface. Right. Come on, take a risk artistically. Hold on. Seems like a lovely person other than that.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Let's talk about campaign merch. We'll get to Q-tips, Mike. Oh, sorry. Don't you worry. Let's talk about the 2020 election because it is becoming a merch game. People are selling that merch there's merch for fucking everything i didn't even realize people were making a chris cuomo fredo unhinged t-shirt and by people you mean the president like the president's campaign oh that's on oh i didn't even realize campaign right away the president's campaign right away. That's about right. Makes sense, yep.
Starting point is 00:53:45 That's about right. So they are apparently very good at this, which the only thing I really knew about them doing was the MAGA hats. They've apparently made $45 million on MAGA hats alone. What about the straws too? The straws, which we talked about on a recent episode, but that has made them close to $500,000 in sales
Starting point is 00:54:08 since they went on sale in late July. So some of their other hot sellers, pencil neck Adam Schiff shirts, which takes Trump's brilliant insult. Pencil neck Adam Schiff. Pencil neck. I don't even... Is that just his appearance?
Starting point is 00:54:28 Yeah. I don't know. Does that just mean he has a thin neck? I understood that. I guess probably because you're not meaty and got a big ass neck for your big ass head. It really does strike me as a 1950s insult. It's something like Biff would say
Starting point is 00:54:44 in Back to the Future. Hey, pencil neck. but it's like again and that's the kind of stuff he says like right you know this guy's a weakling yeah trudeau's a tough guy and so what they did though get this is uh they put a picture of adam schiff but his head is on an actual neck made of pencil. So you can see why that's a hot seller. So a real life head, pencil neck, and body. Or just the old classic, a football jersey with Stand Up For America written on it. I think Jay-Z is trying to sell those. Yeah, produced by Jay-Z. But yeah, so Trump is apparently good at this
Starting point is 00:55:23 and is making a bunch of money off of it. Well, I mean, it makes sense, right? Just exploiting your base, just squeezing them for every fucking penny they've got with like own the libs merch. That's true. This article does kind of make it seem like it's like just this work of great genius.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And it's like, no, these are all dumb ideas that like people will just buy anything he puts yeah i mean come on this is also the same group of people no offense who likes to go on vacation and have their vacation 2000 whatever right right in tie-dye you know and everybody like that's like they will they will go to the spray paint was it huts oh yeah do some air brushing airbrushing yeah i actually don't know what you're talking about afford like wait you never seen like you wait like on the jersey shore like on the boardwalk they never had people like doing custom
Starting point is 00:56:09 shirts like airbrushing that's a number most of the stores on the jersey shore are our t-shirts but are any of them airbrushed though like you didn't have it personalized yeah so that okay i see what you're saying i just didn't know color they wrote like vacation yeah like they'll have things to you know go that go back they want to prove yeah they were in florida orlando or panama city typically what i see is panama city because you know that's the place to go and then you say whatever your last name is jones vacation something something yeah yeah yeah well i mean but the funny thing too is like now i think on the left there's so much merch too right right for people and like from the all the muller time shit that people were hawking yeah how'd that turn oh man i wonder i wonder how many people are upside down on fucking like
Starting point is 00:56:56 a whole fucking just stash of like muller hoodies that they just can't move were they hoodies no i mean they had everything there are people people making Muller Time hats, shirts, coffee mugs, motherfucking mouse pads, like anything. Because again, it's still the same sort of mentality on either side of the aisle.
Starting point is 00:57:11 It's just like, okay, how do we extract as much profit out of this thin idea as possible? I would imagine the left has a lot of fanny packs as opposed to just t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Yeah, probably. And pop sockets. Yeah, what? Yeah, for that thing that goes on the back of the phone. Every time someone says that to me, I'm thinking they're cursing at me or calling me a name. Yeah, the pop sockets. Yeah, what? Yeah, for that thing that comes on the back of the phone. Every time someone says that to me, I'm thinking they're cursing at me or calling me a name.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Yeah, the way you said it. What? What did you say to me? What'd you call me? Come at me. Yeah, like, oh, fuck. I'm sorry? Did that mean something else?
Starting point is 00:57:36 The example of this that bummed me out the most was when Kamala Harris's campaign sold a shirt titled, on the store, That Little Girl Was Me. It was just a picture of her as a child on the t-shirt. And they started selling that right after the first debate was over. Which seems somewhat...
Starting point is 00:57:57 That's what everyone does, though. That's the game. Yeah, of course. We talked about this during Pride. Remember how many candidates came out with their dumb Pride shit and all the money was going to the campaign? It wasn't. This is just sort of part and parcel of fundraising.
Starting point is 00:58:11 She persisted. It's definitely a t-shirt. And I think even Bernie was fundraising off, I wrote the damn bill. Oh, did he really? I think, yeah, they were fundraising off that shit too. This is where we're at now. People's fashion choices are like Twitter moments on a shirt or hat. But then that shit. That is how this is like where we're at now like people people's like fashion choices are like twitter moments like on a shirt or hat but then that's the advertising i mean buy that shit now because it's gonna look funny in like 20 years when we're all cleaning up the ashes
Starting point is 00:58:32 of our loved ones yeah nuclear holocaust but anyway i have a t-shirt that's run jesse run that's from jesse jesse jackson's oh shit 88 campaign oh wow uh but i i didn't it's not like from me volunteering on that okay guys right not that old it's not from that okay well nobody asked just like i can tell by the way you're looking at me that you think it's because you think i was work you thought i was something for jesse jackson and i'm really jealous of bill simmons not true both not true things both lies find a new angle. The Moscow Mitch merch is also flowing. A heavy flow of that.
Starting point is 00:59:14 It's that thing, too. Like, I get it. But, like, trying to make all this money off of that is just weird. And it's, like, I get everyone thinks all Russian people are trying to bring the country down, but it's starting to slowly just get into Russia-phobia type shit. But they are all spies, obviously. Yeah, right, exactly. But then all the fucking, just really like Moscow mule mugs, Moscow Mitch mule mugs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:41 I mean, that shows you it's liberals, because they love Moscow mules. mitch mule mugs yeah i mean that shows you it's it's liberals because they love moscow mules they made or they sold two hundred thousand dollars worth of moscow mitch merch it's a mouthful that's what she said come on yeah get it out i wanted to come up with another m word that could have meant immediately but we'll work on that in 48 hours in the first 48 hours that after uh the merch went up and that's from the kentucky democrats that are making that right it's not like a amazon store right uh just a couple other loose quick things once upon a time in hollywood is like i realized it was doing okay like most of his movies do pretty well but it's actually his biggest hit since pulp fiction uh and scott mendelsohn was pointing out how weird that is because it's not like there's
Starting point is 01:00:33 no real hook to it right it's not a genre movie it's like more of an art movie i guess the hook is that it's brad pitt and leon DiCaprio, but it doesn't really have, like, it's not a gangster movie like Pulp Fiction. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's just a period piece.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Right. And then does conveniently ignores Charles Manson's racism. Right. Yeah, it does. They're like, no, they're like hot hippies.
Starting point is 01:01:00 No, but okay. But do your thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I, well, I mean well i mean i the i remember blair sake was on and all she could she was just fixated on brad pitt she's like i don't even know if i saw the movie it's like i just all i know i saw brad pitt and i know other people who like leo and brad i mean credit to them they're uh how old is she no no Pitt's in his 50s. I know how old they are.
Starting point is 01:01:25 This is why I'm thinking they're out of context now. Are they still in? Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio? I think they just still have that status in people's minds. He's always Jack from Titanic and everything else. Romeo. Younger and younger.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Younger models. Has sex with his AirPodspods on wait well well while vaping yeah that's how he gets down okay um or maybe it wasn't air but definitely tunes on throws the headphones on noise canceling headphones to fuck and vapes while sitting back and wow wow allegedly allegedly but so he's like according to people who have had sex with him sex while sitting back and... Wow. Wow. Allegedly. Allegedly. So he's like on DJ Khaled level of sex. According to people who have had sex with him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yeah. Of, yeah, just like, I'm not gonna do a fucking thing. I hope you don't think this is about you. Right. Also, I don't give head or nothing. I don't even listen. I can't even listen to this shit.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Or myself. Or myself. That's weird, though. You gotta be, look, this is just a rumor, but like, if you're really thinking
Starting point is 01:02:28 about a person who fucks with noise canceling headphones on, does he hate the sound of bodies touching? He wants to be, take himself out of that situation.
Starting point is 01:02:36 And just wants to hear like, you know, MGMT electric feel on a loop. Oh yeah, that is what they say Maybe there's a lot of queefing during his process
Starting point is 01:02:44 so that could be a little distracting guys like oh i hate that it's like so gross i gotta wear noise canceling headphones i mean it's not the most pleasant sound in the world i'm just saying yeah but i guess i mean but then to add vaping like the baby you couldn't be more checked out as a sexual partner where you're like your mouth is occupied with some other thing right and your fucking ears and like you just lay back. You just lay there. Because why would you want to hear if they have any feedback for you?
Starting point is 01:03:10 Right, exactly. They're all going to be like, you came already? Seriously? And it's like, dude, I don't have time, man. I'm trying to listen to M83. He doesn't have to say any of that. He just says, you're welcome, and walks out. I'm sure, right, yeah. Obviously.
Starting point is 01:03:21 And blows a huge vape cloud in their face. But he tries to make it look like a little ship. Oh, that's how he nuts? He takes a big groove and goes, oh!
Starting point is 01:03:28 Oh, God, why don't we have a video of that? Of you, not of that. Let's try to rewind. Yeah, well, I think someone in the
Starting point is 01:03:39 Zeitgeist gang can create a cool gif. Oh! It's a huge vape cloud. He's the vape god dude you know what I mean don't fuck with him oh dear
Starting point is 01:03:49 his oh face has smoke rings oh face yeah oh wow I was just thinking like a ship you know yeah lord of the rings level of smoke right

Starting point is 01:05:57 Reductress, of course. Here's how long to smile at the baby on the subway before it gets weird. I wonder, yeah. Just picturing somebody just smiling at the baby on the subway before it gets weird. Just picturing somebody just smiling at the baby.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Do you ever get self-conscious when a baby is looking at you? Because as I get older, I used to be like, man, I ain't fucking done, baby. But now I'm like, ooh. Right, right, right. Sometimes you see parents, because it'll happen in line at the grocery store where someone will be holding their child and the child is facing behind them.
Starting point is 01:06:25 And then they'll look back and be like, are you cooing at my fucking kid? Right. It's my favorite thing. Kid's locked in. Because when I'm in LHA, there's not that many brown people. And so I'm pretty sure that baby's just staring at me
Starting point is 01:06:35 trying to figure out what I am. So I just kind of wait to see the reaction. Right, right, right. Because they just usually look confused when looking at me. But that might be a whole different reason. Right there. Could be the developing brain thing. You know, know you know what kind of parent is mad like i love when people are into my baby that's great well i don't know like if they're weird but like i wasn't being
Starting point is 01:06:56 weird i'm like being chill no i know but the baby looks at me and i did a thing and it smiled more i'm like okay the baby's the baby's fucking. Success. Okay, let me keep this act going. This joke is going. Yeah, and then sometimes, well, it's not that people are like, ugh, but it's just more, I think maybe people are just caught off guard or something. But I feel like, yo, you're not entertaining your baby.
