Starting point is 00:04:02 Donuts. Whole new level. And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious comedian, Blair Saki. Hey, everyone. What's up? Oh, I'm so glad to be back. You are?
Starting point is 00:04:13 I'm so glad to have you. Good to see you. Good to see you, too. How have you been? I've been really good. I've been feeling great. I'm loving the sunshine in LA. Traveling this great nation.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Wow. Yeah. Where have you been? Gosh, I've been Delaware, New Jersey, Chicago, Indiana. All the hits. Yeah. How was Delaware? It was good.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Wilmington. I've never been there before. Okay. Yeah, it was really nice. They have a great comedy audience there. Who knew? Wow. I mean, yeah, who did know?
Starting point is 00:04:43 Who knew? The only thing I know about Delaware is from Wayne's World. Yeah, look, we're in Delaware. Yeah, when the backdrop just goes, we're in Delaware. Biden, isn't he from Delaware? Yep, that's him too. I mean, that's how I knew it was a great comedy state. I think Capriati's Subs is also from Delaware.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Capriati's? Yeah, have you had Capriati's? Nope. Oh, boy. They do this. They roast their own turkeys. This is not an ad, okay? This is how much I'm about sandwich life.
Starting point is 00:05:08 They roast their own turkey and their own roast beef, so it's not sliced. It's pulled sort of meat. And they have a thing called the Bobby, which is basically like fucking Thanksgiving sandwich with stuffing and cranberry sauce, the whole joint. I need to try that. When you go to these various locations, are you just like seeing the inside of your hotel room and the comedy clubs? Or do you get out to do any sightseeing of Indiana?
Starting point is 00:05:33 You go to a cornfield or something like that? No, we haven't. We just see the inside of our hotel rooms, except for in Chicago, we did get deep dish pizza. Nice. And we went to Ron Funch's, his house that he grew up in. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:50 So besides that, no. Just stormed it? Yeah. Just the family that lived there now was like... It's still members of his family that live there. Oh, that's dope. Yeah. Nice.
Starting point is 00:05:59 In Vegas? In Chicago. Oh, in Chicago. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. You know, I was reading the Capriotti's website. It said they won awards in Vegas. It's totally fine, Miles.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I respected the Ron Ford function. Everybody should know that half of the stories we tell on this show are just things that Miles is reading at the time, just words he's reading. He's like very Kaiser Soze in that way. He's just pulling stories from the words around the room. I've never said anything spontaneously either. Everything's very premeditated. Everything's just pulled off the bottom of coffee mugs for some reason. Mr. Kobayashi.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Well, I love having stand-ups on who are out there touring the country because I feel like you guys have a real good vibe of what's hitting, what people are thinking, what people are feeling right now in the country, in the zeitgeist. So it's good to have you on, Blair. Thank you for your service. Oh, my God. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah. No, it is a huge service. Somebody has to do it out there. And it's a big burden providing joy for all the people in the world. Can I ask you something possibly personal? Sure. On Twitter, you said you would never fuck a dude who didn't know how to grill again and i'm curious did you what happened did you realize some dude you're dating could not
Starting point is 00:07:11 throw it down on the grill or is this one of those jokey tweets none of my tweets are jokey their cries for help um no my i don't i think my last two boyfriends bless their hearts both incredible people um but i don't think either of them could grill oh wow yeah it's so easy yeah you just gotta you just have to embrace the flame yeah well to be honest i don't actually know how to grill sure um i have tried it but right now like my focus is perfecting a steak in a cast iron skillet okay um i don't want to depend on a man to reach the heights of luxury um fantastic but i also do feel i need to grill i really need to learn what's the bar because like burgers hot dogs easy to grill chicken a little trickier than Chicken's easy. Then once you get to fish.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Well, it's all about how you use it, right? You don't want to overcook your shit on too high heat on the grill. Have maybe half your grill going a little bit lower so you can rest that shit and use some indirect heat. I know. I'm just saying that's a higher level than just throwing some burgers on. What do you need? Look, obviously, the highest heights are preferred of grilling acumen. So what's the highest height for you?
Starting point is 00:08:26 I mean anything. They know how to do everything. Oh, so corn? They're baking and shaking. They're, you know, marinating. They're all this shit. But I would take, like, an average standard level is good with me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:37 If they could just do chicken and burgers and stuff, I think that would be nice. As long as you're literate. That would make me feel taken care of. Wow. I love that. That's nice. As long as you're literate. That would make me feel taken care of. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I love that. That's nice. It was a big, like, over the 4th of July, we had some families over. I was working the grill. Nice. I did a decent job, and my wife was shocked that I did a decent job with the grill, like, almost condescendingly. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Oh, wow. But it was a real turning point. I feel like I got a chip. Like, I got a little- What'd you cook? Just chicken and burgers and hot dogs and see yeah if you keep the chicken moist you know then you're doing your thing usually i set the chicken on fire oh wow and she's like gather around everyone to do let's taste jack's shoe leather exactly i feel like i don't know why i
Starting point is 00:09:20 mean maybe if you grow up with a grilling dad like I associate that with being a man right sure but you know that's just a stereotype or something but I also my family's really into food so I associate food with love as well yeah of course of course my love language one of my deepest love languages my deepest deepest yeah you know literate in the love language of food all right Blair we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about we got the latest language of food. All right, Blair, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about. We got the latest list of top baby names for the year. We're going to look at those because these are some new names.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I guarantee you, if anyone has had a kid in the last few years or you know somebody who has had a kid in the last year, I'm surprised how many of these names, and no shade at you if you pick these. These are nice names. pick these these are nice names yeah these are fine names they're just very
Starting point is 00:10:07 names that they're going for uniqueness and it must be missing the mark of it it must hurt a little bit when your unique name is the most popular name of the year we're going to talk about fucker Carlson being just a basically putting a hit out on Ilhan Omar we're going to talk about fucker Carlson being just like basically putting a hit out on Ilhan Omar.
Starting point is 00:10:26 We're going to talk about where Steyer should be spending his hundred million dollars instead of on his own fake campaign project. We're going to talk about the social media summit that is happening today. Trump is holding a social media summit that just turns out to be a who's who of right wing ghouls on social media. Some some mean people that horrible right wing cartoonist, I guess, got disinvited at the last second. So we'll talk about that. Mike Pence's camp is still can't explain why he abruptly canceled his New Hampshire trip. Have we talked about that at all? The fact that he- I think it happened right around the time we were about to break for the weekend.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Okay. So I don't know. Yeah. I don't think so. Anyways, Mike Pence was traveling to New Hampshire. His plane got turned around. The trip was canceled and they were like, oh, don't worry, it's not a big deal.
Starting point is 00:11:21 But it seemed weird, like something had happened back in DC. He was immediately called back to DC. It was the same day that Vladimir Putin had a similar thing where he was meant to be somewhere and got pulled back to Moscow and had a meeting with all his top military advisors. So people were like, is something happening? So we're just going to talk about the fact that there's no new news on that, while also talking about something that, I don't know, could be related. We'll just put the stories next to each other. The fact that 28 women partied at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, that was the entire list of people who were at that party. We're going to talk about how polite society welcomed Jeffrey Epstein back after his 2008
Starting point is 00:12:10 conviction for pedophilia. And we're going to talk about Nicki Minaj pulling out of the Jetta World Fest in Saudi Arabia. But first, Blair, we'd like to ask our guest, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, well the last search was Gabe Liedman. Gabe Liedman. Do you know him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:32 He's been on. Oh, yeah. Hasn't he? Yeah. No? No. Maybe that's a reach guest. Miles made that up. Yeah. Yeah, I was just like stalking Gabe Liedman, seeing what his... Oh, you know why I'm thinking he's been on?
Starting point is 00:12:47 Because he works on PEM 15 with Maya and Anna. And I've met him before. Okay, never mind. Got it. Bye. Yeah, he's hilarious. Does that reveal my innermost workings? Yes, very much so.
Starting point is 00:13:02 He was also on Couples Therapy, right here on this network. Wait, so what do you think? What were you looking about him? You just wanted to see photos? Did you just go to images right away off the rip? Yeah, I just wanted to know. He's doing my show next week, and so I was gathering info. Nice.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Yeah, creepy. Nah. Creepy, creepy girl. It's research. Yeah. Gathering intel. I think it's less creepy when you say you're gathering intel about a subject. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is he the dude who always tweets and then writes send at the end of it? Mm-hmm. He's a genius. That's very funny. Yeah. I don't know how he does it. I don't know where he came up with that.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Yeah. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated. Okay with that. Yeah. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated. Okay. MMA. Sorry. I don't know. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Like, maybe I'm crazy, but I don't like watching people get their face bashed in. Second, men, particularly liberal men that criticize the pitch and cadence of women's voices. Are overrated? Or is that related to MMA? No, no. oh yeah i also overrated yeah yeah also overrated yeah another one need to go fuck themselves yeah no it's it's the worst thing in the world it's like my number one problem with podcasting oh it's crazy i mean you can imagine if i do get a critique from someone, sometimes it does happen to be in that arena.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Right. But it's so funny, like, these liberal men who posit themselves as, like, these compassionate, caring supporters of women, and they have no idea they're deep-rooted issues of misogyny. Right, and that's how it comes out. Coming up with another way to write off women and hearing them. So hard to take them seriously. If you're talking like that, I don't know how I'm going to take you seriously. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:14:52 Talking like what? Right. Exactly. They don't realize how revealing that is about them. But that is just a constant problem for anybody who works in podcasting. I mean, look, if you're really looking at it logically, if you're bothered by the sound of anything, just stop listening to it.
Starting point is 00:15:10 There's no point in then being like, I have notes on how this sounds. But also challenge yourself to think about why you have a problem with the sound. No, it's probably because you're a Libra. As you learned yesterday, just don't be introspective. Blame your birth sign.
Starting point is 00:15:25 There you go. But yeah, I'd like to say, sure, I too would like to have Miles' voice, but I don't. I wouldn't. I'll switch it. We should switch one. We would all like to have Miles' voice, Claire. To sound like a young Brad Pitt. What is something you think is underrated?
Starting point is 00:15:40 Underrated, definitely people who order tuna at Subway. That's a type of renegade personality that I'm trying to surround myself with. Wow. Blair. Risk takers. I knew I loved Blair because that's my fucking shit at Subway. And they look at me like I'm fucked up. It's so funny because some of my closest friends order tuna at Subway
Starting point is 00:16:02 and I would never do it. I'm a food freak, but I appreciate it so much. Right. Yeah. The risk taking it requires. You have to know thyself. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:12 No, it's just like taking the pin out of a grenade and casually walking away. And like, I love that about people. Right. Thank you so much. Yeah. There's something about it.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I was, I think a few episodes ago or when we, i think when we went to sketch fest or something i was talking about my trials and tribulations of trying to procure a subway tuna sandwich at the airport oh right the fuck is this man you got a fucking subway and no fucking tuna and i'm like all right give me turkey then but but i mean it should be illegal for you to carry that onto a plane i'm a renegade. Right. Hey, look, if motherfuckers can fart all day on you,
Starting point is 00:16:49 I can eat my fucking tuna sandwich. I'm willing to trade that because I had, oh my God, I didn't even tell you, when I got back from Oregon, this dude got out of his seat and I'm in the aisle and he went to go get his bag,
Starting point is 00:16:57 farted in my fucking face. Oof. Did you say anything? I went, this is what I did. Oof. That says it all all I didn't think the only
Starting point is 00:17:08 only logical step is I would've blown I would've been like hey my man right you farted pon my visage right
Starting point is 00:17:16 do you think do you think you did it intentionally or you think it's just that trapped gas no I get it yo yo I look that's why
Starting point is 00:17:23 part of me wasn't mad because you know the altitude fucks your stomach up. It really does. Have you ever ripped ass on an airplane? Yes. Yeah, no. Like, if you do do it, you're just like, no, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I'm the worst person in the world. I never wanted to do this to people. I never wanted to do this to anyone. And you do say that out loud before you do it, right? No, no. What, miss? No, no. I put on my sleep mask and my headphones so no one, I can't know that I'm there.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Oh, wow. I think that's the whole reason that they make planes so loud is so that you can't hear all the farting that's going on. It's just to cover it up. That was a design feature. When the Wright brothers were figuring out air travel, they're like, well, hold on. We need the sound to be loud to cover our flatulence. I mean, you honestly can't hear most farts.
Starting point is 00:18:07 You can never feel them. You only feel them. You smell them. The other thing I do is I'll take the air conditioner, air thing, the valve. And fart directly into it. And I try and do it so it's like directly creating a wall of air so their farts will be blocked by my air conditioning thing.
Starting point is 00:18:22 It does not work. It's not scientific. I was about to say. Because diffusion works very differently than that. Right. But, you know, that's what it is. And also, like, the other thing is, look, and I got some people were coming at me on Twitter because I was talking about someone who was farting the whole flight I was on
Starting point is 00:18:36 and they were nasty. And look, I get you have to fart or whatever. But if you are farting like nasty, smelly ones. Right. You can go to the bathroom, do do your thing or at least acknowledge to me like yo look I gotta be honest with you I got something going on. I would hate that if someone apologized
Starting point is 00:18:51 to me. I would be like I cannot handle this. This is too intimate. This conversation. I will die. Blair I'm sorry for the farts. Oh my god. It's not your fault. But I love how you're farts. Oh my God. And maybe gives you a long, it's not your fault. But I love how you're trying to curate air paths.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Yeah, right, exactly. As like some sort of moat in the sky. Yeah, exactly, right. Finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true that you know to be false? Oh my God, I recently found out that despite what is shown to us in the media, Oh my god, I recently found out that despite what is shown to us in the media, in movies and TV shows, you don't have to wait 24 hours to file a missing persons report. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:19:36 Isn't that crazy? Like, why do they perpetuate this myth forever? Really? Yeah. Wow. Like, you witness your kid get kidnapped, and then you call the police, and they're like, nothing we can do, ma'am. Well, when was it? Can you come back? Just now. See if they come back in 24 hours and let us know. kidnapped and then you call the police they're like nothing we can do man well when was it just now see if they come back in 24 hours
Starting point is 00:19:47 and let us know don't you think that's like wildly irresponsible but I mean it makes you think about so when they're writing these TV shows because you always think that they have experts that inform them of all this shit no
Starting point is 00:20:02 all legal shit is basically made up. Like the phone call is a lie. The fact that you get a phone call. Oh, that's not true? That's not true. You don't get a phone call? And you should just never talk to cops. Just be like, lawyer.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Yeah, lawyer. Every time. Lawyer. Any interrogation scene shouldn't happen. Yeah, when it's just you and a cop hitting you with a phone book that's what the also if they
Starting point is 00:20:27 don't read you your Miranda rights you're not like free to go that's not the case they have to present that at some point but
Starting point is 00:20:36 and what the Miranda rights say is that you shouldn't say shit without a lawyer damn you learned a lot at that sovereign citizens conference I was just about to say,
Starting point is 00:20:45 you could commit a lot of crimes because you're really up on the laws and how to get around it. Yeah, I studied up for my upcoming... Criminal future. We'll talk about it offline. Okay. Guys, real quick,
Starting point is 00:20:58 let's talk about the top baby names. Yeah. We're halfway through 2019 and let's just read through them because they are... I mean, they're the names that I've heard people giving their kids, and I thought, well, those can't be very popular. Yeah, this company, Nameberry, they've been collecting the data from the Social Security Administration, everything, and just off the rip, the top two names are Archie and Isla. Yeah. Okay? Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. Archie. two names are Archie and Isla. Yeah. Okay. Archie.
Starting point is 00:21:27 That's fine. Okay, whatever. Now let's go through the top 15 of each name. Okay. And tell me if you know anyone by this name or have heard of someone's child by this name. Isla, Olivia, Aurora, Ada, Charlotte, Amara, Maeve, Cora, Amelia, Posey, Luna, Ophelia, Ava, Rose, and Eleanor. Luna is so, like I've heard that. I know a Luna and I know a Cora, Amelia, Posey, Luna, Ophelia, Ava, Rose, and Eleanor. Luna is so, like, I've heard that.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I have friends who have that name. I know a Luna and I know a Cora. That's Chrissy Teigen's daughter. Yeah, that's wild because I thought those were unique names. Even, so the boy's number one name being Archie, like when the royal family named their prince, Prince Archie, everyone was like, oh my God, that's so cute. Like, what a cute name.
Starting point is 00:22:06 It's like, nah, that's basically like our Michael. Or I mean, I guess it could be that there was just an enormous spike after they named their kid Archie or after Riverdale came out and just was the littest show in the history of television. So good. Well, Jughead is number 89. And then so boys, it's Archie, Milo, Asher? Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Jasper, Silas, Theodore. Jasper. Jasper. Jasper. Atticus, Jack. Old Prospector. Arav. A-A-R-A-V.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I don't know if I completely butchered that. Finn, Oliver, Felix, Henry, Wyatt, and Arian. Arian. Which I'm not sure spelled like the aryan the aryan race a r y a n not like aryan foster a r i n right and i don't know i don't know many people named aryan i don't know any people named aryan but that's what the weird problematic and harsh for that person to go through life with that name. Yeah, who else is Arian? Everyone just like, hands up. So I just brought up the top popular names of the 80s just to give you, because those are the names of the people who are in the public.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Yeah, who we are and who are becoming public figures now. Number 15 is William. So all the people we know named Will just replace that with Arian, and that's what that shit's gonna be in 30 years. But that's a whole decade we're looking at, right? Because we're talking about six months out of 2019. Michael, just replace all the people you know
Starting point is 00:23:42 named Michael with Archie. Damn. That's crazy. Matt, replace it with Jasper. That's where we're headed. Jasper's kind of tight if you named it after the Susan's character. Or Jasper, the

Listen to the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. I'm sorry, number 96, someone's named Beckett.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Beckett? Like the old trading card fucking magazine that told you the price of the trading cards. I know a ton of Becketts. You do? Yeah. Fuckload of Becketts. Wow. No.
Starting point is 00:31:13 You know a fuckload of Becketts? Yes. Like that are children? Yeah. Oh, like new Becketts. Young Becketts. Yeah, like little. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Little baby. Little baby Becketts. I was wondering, it seems like there are some that are, like Asher is, like the number four name during the 80s for girls was Ashley. So maybe going Asher is like the sort of, like Becky, Beckett. I don't know. Maybe there's something where you take the girl's name and make it a boy's name and that's seen as cool.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I don't know. Let's read between the lines, man. Anyways. Let's read the matrix. As much as we would love to keep talking about names, we do have to talk about Tucker Carlson for some reason. Well, yeah, I know. It's like fucking, it's nonstop.
Starting point is 00:31:57 He reached new lows again on Tuesday when he fucking just basically, so, you know, like most people on the left, they have a lot to say about the treatment of asylum seekers and migrants at the border, especially the the situation with children. And then we've just heard about this report of this 15 year old girl who said she was assaulted by a uniformed guard. So, you know, when people have criticisms of it seems like it's founded in something right uh tucker carlson used ilhan omar's criticism of these camps to just go on a fucking rant and warn the country okay that she is quote living proof uh that the immigration system is dangerous to this country he says she's a living fire alarm a warning to the rest of us
Starting point is 00:32:44 we better change our immigration system immediately or else. Or else. Then he goes on to say, virtually every public statement she makes accuses Americans of bigotry and racism. This is an immoral country, she says. She has undisguised contempt for the United States, for its people. That should worry you. Not just because Omar is sitting member of Congress.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Ilhan Omar is also living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous, blah, blah, blah. And she goes on to say the problem is deeper. Maybe we are importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours. Who knows what the problem is? But there is a problem in whatever that because this cannot continue or whatever. He says not sustainable. So be grateful for Ilhan Omar and knowing as she is, she's a living fire alarm. And basically sort of saying like, only in America could a Somali
Starting point is 00:33:26 child, immigrant, refugee come to this country and then become a very powerful member of Congress. Yeah, that's partially the beauty of this country. That's the problem with this country is what he's saying. Well, he was saying, no, no, but then he was saying she should be more grateful because of that. Oh, if you're allowed to do that,
Starting point is 00:33:41 then why are you giving a clear-eyed analysis of our foreign policy and domestic policy? Right. And there's a clear dog whistle where he says, or maybe the problem's deeper than that. Maybe we are importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours. So he's basically saying Muslim people. Of course. And shit like this really makes me fear for her safety.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Yeah, dude. Because on top of being a Muslim woman of color, she has the media on the right fucking nonstop painting her as this fucking terroristic threat. And when you just see the amount of death threats she's received and just like the shit that she has to go through simply for voicing her opinion it shit like this is just like dude no and like who the fuck else is even still sponsoring like who are his advertisers i think it's like still like bear and my pillow guy yeah it's a cadillac giant to kind of but it's funny a lot of these companies i'm like yo i don't even know what these fucking things are anymore right so those people when they stick with them, they're making a clear line in the sand. Yeah, or they're just like, but it's so
Starting point is 00:34:49 big. We can look past the Islamophobia and racism because maybe some people will buy our products. Well, think about the people who run those companies. They watch Fox News. That's where they get their information from. No, they're saying, these are the values we align ourselves with. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:05 And we're like, okay, this is one of the riskiest people we can go with. All right, let's lock it in. Yeah, exactly. Just a horrible person. Yeah, but you know, that says nothing to his mom because he's not worried about it. He doesn't even remember his mom. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Should we just remind everybody that Tucker Carlson's mom left the family, left his dad to go follow her heart, her heart, be a bohemian, live a bohemian lifestyle in Paris. And he says that has no effect on the fact that he is a anti-woman, anti-liberal. woman anti-following their heart. The way he said it is really like when you have that friend who clearly needs to go to therapy or has unresolved issues. You keep talking
Starting point is 00:35:54 about your mom. Nah, man, I'm good, bro. I never talked about my mom. You talked about my mom. I've never even heard of my mom. Right, exactly. That's basically what... He also likes to talk about how much sex he has. Oh, that's right. He's a of my mom. Right, exactly. That's basically what. He also likes to talk about how much sex he has. Oh, that's right. Yeah, he's a cool guy.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Who likes to fight gay people. Yeah, incredibly toxic to women. But, oh man, if you knew the stories of me back before I got married. I always, whenever someone talks like this or on the internet, I'm like, oh, wow. High school was so painful for them. Yeah. I mean, he wore a bow tie for the whole first. Or it was the last time they felt fucking potent.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Right. Yeah. It's always one or the other. All right. Let's talk about Amy McGrath has stepped into the ring to do God's work and run against Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. She raised $2.5 million in the first 24 hours of her campaign, and over $1 million came in the first five and a half hours, which is the biggest 24-hour haul for any Senate race ever.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Yeah. Because, yeah, I mean, and that is appropriate to the situation. Like, it's important to... To try and get this fucking goon out. Right. He, ah, it's, look, this is going to be a fucking very difficult race because he has a lot of resources he can put into his own race, and there are a lot of industries and foreign countries that like him
Starting point is 00:37:25 there so you can expect this to be i mean i hope this can be something close i hope that we can get mitch mcconnell out uh but this is just another argument for why tom steyer instead of spending your 100 milli on yourself be like okay why don't you go why don't you go 100 million on this dude yeah just fucking get i mean honestly getting honestly, getting people like Mitch McConnell out... Would be the biggest... There is such a knock-on effect from that. Like, you think of all the fucking legislation he just lets die on that docket, and the issues he does not want to address because he's in control of the fucking schedule of the Senate.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Like, whoo! Please! Amy McGrath is a former fighter pilot and just total badass yeah and she had like this she was saying she uh when she was like 13 she wrote a letter to mitch mcconnell being like i want to be a pilot but like uh women can't be pilots like i hope you can help me and she's like and he never wrote back yeah and guess what she became that she also has she also has stories of writing letters And people like wrote back and were like
Starting point is 00:38:26 Well you might want to change your life goals Basically I mean She didn't have a very successful Campaign in the midterms but look We gotta fucking try everything Especially when it comes to getting Mitch McConnell the fuck come on Tom Steyer
Starting point is 00:38:42 Whoa that's such a cool story Yeah she's a badass She wrote a to getting Mitch McConnell. Come on, Tom Steyer. Whoa, that's such a cool story. Yeah, she's a badass. She wrote a letter to Mitch McConnell, and now she's running against him? Jeez. Take him down. That's crazy. All right, let's talk about the social media summit.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I don't know. Are you guys going to be there? I was thinking about, I don't know. We should have left last night. Oh, shit. That's right. It's happening right now. We should have left last night. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:39:03 That's right. It's happening right now. Well, companies like Facebook and Twitter are not invited to the social media summit. But the people who are are a who's who of people who created memes that Donald Trump has clicked the like button on, basically. And other people who just want to self-victimize and be like, they're censoring my antisemitism. Right. So they're basically, they invited all these people who they want to kind of feed the narrative that
Starting point is 00:39:34 Trump is trying to get out there. The big tech companies are discriminating against conservatives. So, you know, the white house just released a share your story tool to quote collect anecdotes from people who feel their social media accounts have been banned unfairly uh because that's what the white house should be focused on um it's just it's the worst people um ben garrison was on the invite list he's the cartoonist famous for super racist cartoons, basically like Mad Magazine as a Nazi propaganda flyer.
Starting point is 00:40:10 He was called out for his anti-Semitic drawings of George Soros controlling generals with puppet strings. There was a racist cartoon depicting Michelle Obama as an angry, unattractive monster with a bulge in between her legs. And AOC, he just seems all fucked up by because he keeps drawing her as real sexy, but using her sex to sell socialism in some way. Oh, not the- It's like, hey, come over here, big boy. Not the equitable future. Take this socialism socialism that she's
Starting point is 00:40:46 selling people on uh there was some pushback to his invite so it was eventually withdrawn but you've got like the your voice america host bill mitchell back to ben garrison though for someone who has always dealt in these like really anti-semitic tropes in his cartoons i'm glad like journalists they went up to people like Jared Kushner and like members of Congress, this other guy, Jason Greenblatt, who have been the people like Donald Trump is fighting against anti-Semitism despite using coded language all the time.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Right. And like when they asked them for a comment, they didn't say anything. And then suddenly they were like, Ben Garrison is no longer invited. Right. So it wasn't until like, you'd think then even those people would be like, oh, why are
Starting point is 00:41:27 we inviting them? Right. But again, you know. I can excuse the anti-Semitism if we're going to own the lips. So Your Voice America is a show hosted by Bill Mitchell that promotes QAnon because he claims it gives hope to Trump supporters. QAnon is a wild conspiracy theory. I mean, we've talked about it before on the show,
Starting point is 00:41:46 but it's an insane conspiracy theory, and the host of that show is coming. He also once tweeted that melting landmasses of ice would lower sea levels. No, really? Yeah. James O'Keefe will be there, the guy who tried to trick the Washington Post
Starting point is 00:42:03 into reporting the fake Roy Moore story. Oh, and then when he got hidden camera'd? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Or no, the woman that he sent got hidden camera'd. Right. Or they pulled up with their camera and they're like, look, we know what the fuck is going on. Don't fuck.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Be chill. Be cool. Right. We know what the fuck is up. He also once tried to seduce a CNN reporter with fuzzy handcuffs and a condom jar. Oh my God. Yeah. He, yeah he like he in what world right well he also like got acorn basically taken down like that the whole you know organization was fucked because he did this like weird thing where he dressed like a halloween like he got a pimp halloween costume and claimed
Starting point is 00:42:45 to be a pimp and uh basically framed the story so that it made it look like acorn was involved involved yeah um carpe donktum oh fuck yeah pro trump meme creator cd yeah he's the dude who like creates all those ones where like CNN is like a pro wrestler. Like he just puts a CNN logo over a pro wrestler's head and then like Trump's head over another person's. Hell yeah. Another pro wrestler and like has them body slam CNN. Hell yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Hell yeah. His Patreon has 61 patrons. Oh shit. So like you're talking about big time. Big time Tommy over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a, you know, this is supposed to be a who's who of social media. He has 61 patrons.
Starting point is 00:43:34 It really is just the most garbage fucking trash people, like Charlie Kirk, fucking Prager University. Right. The people in Prager University, my fucking God, the fucking fake ass revisionist history bullshit they put on their fucking YouTube videos are like, it's like the manna of debate freaks on the internet who are like, oh, really? Because let me tell you about why the Southern strategy, just watch these videos. Right. And always trying to re-explain history completely out of sequence even just to help their very lame arguments. So I'm glad it's just really all people who deal in misinformation, lies, deception, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and everything else.
Starting point is 00:44:17 So there's a dude who was suspended by Twitter for urging people to buy guns and ammo for the upcoming civil war and recently tweeted that Kamala Harris is, quote, not an American black, which was shared by Donald Trump Jr. Oh, my God. But yeah, an American black, you know, media experts are saying they think this whole thing is just about normalizing these radical voices and moving the bar. Oh, 100 percent acceptable political discourse. Can you imagine how gassed up these
Starting point is 00:44:45 people are gonna feel when they're sitting at the fucking white house and being fucking told by old fucking orange turd face that like they're doing the lord's work and i mean these are some of the people like memes and you know people who were uh supporting Trump for the lulls and like ironically, but not ironically, in 2016 were a significant part of the campaign. Like it was cool for a certain type of tacit white supremacist to support Trump in the 2016 election because of people like this. And he probably recognizes that and probably is trying to like get them all focused and give them their marching orders for 2020 and then there's also the fact that they're trying to intimidate mark zuckerberg into you know not releasing any potential evidence and meddling in the 2020 election and you know being scared to take down accounts that are you know spewing hate or fuck
Starting point is 00:45:41 that then get rid of facebook then right Right. It's like, fuck you. Whatever. We're fucked. The only people that go on Facebook anymore are middle-aged. And some younger people. I'm surprised, like, I know a few people who are even my age who are on the book.
Starting point is 00:46:01 I'm not ever on Facebook and then I get in trouble regularly or people are like, I sent you this invite on Facebook. And that person is your age? That you were just doing an impression of? Because in my mind, that's what your vibe is
Starting point is 00:46:16 if you live on Facebook. Look, I think it's useful for people with families because your older family members and stuff are on there and it's easy to just disseminate all the pictures and memories and shit like that but like for me like to socialize i'm like gone are the days when like i was you know 10 years out of high school and i was like oh i wonder what happened this dude like and that was sort of the fun of facebook like damn he's married oh she was a firefighter you know like, like that kind of shit. Now I'm like, dude, I don't give a fuck about any of y'all.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Collecting intelligence on a subject. Yeah. I'm building a profile on something. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Listen to the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And briefly, we just wanted to touch on this story that we still don't really have answers on. But on July 2nd, Mike Pence was flying to New Hampshire for a previously planned trip. Things like a talk on drug use or something.
Starting point is 00:51:14 On official vice president business. And as he was flying there, his plane was like turned around and brought back to Washington. And it seemed like there was going to be some emergency announcement, but nobody ever announced anything. Even then, his office was like, well, actually, the plane didn't take off. He was boarding. And it's like, okay, what the fuck happened? Why is it canceled?
Starting point is 00:51:35 And it's like, don't worry. It has nothing to do with national security. It has nothing to do with the health of the president or the vice president. And we'll maybe be able to tell you in two weeks. And then Trump was asked a few days later, and he was like, oh, we'll be able to tell you in two weeks and then trump was asked a few days later and he was like oh we'll be able to tell you in a couple weeks very interesting thing now a lot of people are like there's speculation that had something to do with the security at this event that it could have been having to do with people there that they weren't able to like properly verify there were many uh theories out there one coincidence right about all of this is
Starting point is 00:52:07 that july 2nd is the date that epstein's sealed indictment was filed hmm but i don't know if like you know if he was if they were really there to be like what would they say like you got to come back because the president's about to be outed as a pedophile rapist right like i don't know if that's really the kind of meeting they would have. Yeah. Or they're like, yo, do we tell Jeffrey real quick so he can, like, dump some fucking hard drives or whatever the fuck? Right. But he was out of the country and he was apprehended on his way back.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Yeah. I feel like if, I don't know. If they knew, then Epstein probably would have known. If they knew and if it really was about protecting Epstein, you'd think they'd be like, don't come back, bro. Right. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Just fucking chill out there. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:50 I mean, there's so many things happen all the time simultaneously, so not to get all X-files in here. Especially during this administration, there's so much news. It seems so, so crazy and hopeless that the president has been accused of every crime short of murder. Yeah, pretty much. Everything else. And no matter what. I mean, he's been accused of rape by so many people.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Right. Detailed accusations from people who are as recently as two weeks ago. Yes. Yeah, I mean, like, it just goes on and on, and it just seems that no matter what, he's not- Yeah. He can't be taken down. Well, this is the thing, right? So there was, like, another anecdote that was sort of emerged
Starting point is 00:53:37 out of the New York Times about Epstein and Trump, about how they were fucking bros. And, like, a lot of people said, like, if you didn't know Epstein and Trump at a certain point in the 90s, you weren't getting into shit or whatever. I don't know if that's quite true, because I'm like, what does Trump... You can't get into the P. Diddy White Party without knowing Trump?
Starting point is 00:53:54 Right. But they were saying they were a force. And this business person in Florida told this story. This is from the New York Times. Quote, the year was 1992, and the event was a, quote, calendar girl competition, something that George Horeny, a Florida-based businessman who ran American Dream Enterprise, had organized at Mr. Trump's request. I arranged to have some contestants fly in, Mr. Horeny recalled in an interview on Monday. At the very first party,
Starting point is 00:54:21 I said, who's coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming. It was him and Epstein. Mr. Hureni, who had just partnered with Mr. Trump to host events at his casino, said he was surprised. I said, Donald, this is supposed to be a party with VIPs. You're telling me it's just you and Epstein? And he's like, yes. Then they go on to say that this guy Hureni had to, quote, pretty much ban Jeffrey from all of my events. Yeah. Because of his behavior. Now, if this is in the fucking early 90s and you're banning somebody from all your events,
Starting point is 00:54:58 what kind of depraved shit are you doing that for 1992 standards, you crossed the toxic Rubicon? Right. And they're like, whoa, bro. It's 92. We're getting away with a lot right now. But this is the line. I can only imagine what the fuck he was up to. But like you're saying, this is sort of the same shit that happens every time someone on the right is credibly accused of being some kind of sexual predator.
Starting point is 00:55:19 It's like, well, you know, he was just in college. You know, boys will be boys. He has a bright future. you know he's boys will be boys uh roy moore has like yeah they just they try and obscure the actual severity of it because if they did hold these sexual predators accountable right what would that mean for the president who has been credibly accused of rape yeah like they just can't i think it's like a logic puzzle they're like if we do that then we're it's going to be hard to then be like well what about this stuff right The president was just accused of committing rape. Yeah. I just don't understand, like, I mean, along with the rest of the world, how one accusation of rape.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Isn't enough. For the president of the United States is not like just a massive deal. And then to have so, so many. It's crazy. But also, I don't know if you guys probably saw this too but um a lot of people like dissecting the language of how like having sex with underage women yeah and they're like no we need to stop that language these are children yeah stop saying having sex with underage women like they're children yeah you're basically putting it in the words that the predator wants to think of it as yeah and the media is complicit in like because they're presenting it that way being like oh well it's
Starting point is 00:56:35 underaged women yes rather than if you said you know he's having sex with children yes yeah this is a thing that is happening all the time. Sex with children. And for all the QAnon people and for the people on the right to get all up in arms about how much they care about these innocent kids and shit. Living or not. Enough to bring an assault rifle to a pizza place. Right, exactly. And again, I think that shows you because that sort of sympathy or their caring about those people is only activated when it helps to put them at odds with the left. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:09 It's not to ever actually because you are objectively concerned with the safety of children. Yeah. And I think that's the other reason why nothing happens too is because that would essentially topple the right. Right. If they had to be like, you know what? No, we can't do this. I mean, I think some sane people would be like be like well that was the logical move to do but yeah they have to circle their wagons constantly
Starting point is 00:57:29 because their support is dwindling and they have to resort to underhanded gerrymandering fucking bullshit census citizenship questions and things like that and avoiding talking about credible accusations of rape to try and maintain the little bit of power they have yeah the left has to feel good about the fact that they uh still uh hold sexual uh predators to account like yeah well we'll see who let's see what comes out of this epstein shit you know what i mean and then we can really show people what the you know what time it is i mean there's yeah there's just no version of reality where the mainstream media like gets a credible accusation about Bill Clinton and is like, well, we're going to ignore that or doubt the accuser. I have such little hope, though. I feel like they could have photographs of Donald Trump murdering someone and it'll be like nothing's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:58:22 It's also, yeah, good point that the thing I described is exactly what happened to Monica Lewinsky. You're like, I don't know. Seems like we've maybe come a long way. But we know that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't think there's anything that credible evidence from Epstein that implicates Trump. I do. I do think that because there's so much, you know, corroborating evidence around Epstein like that, that would be, I think, pretty difficult to ignore. Yeah. Well, I mean, the right. Yeah, it would definitely be something you don't want people to campaign against you with.
Starting point is 00:59:05 be something you don't want people to campaign against you with right you know because that's really what you know that would be very bad to try and defend yourself of like why aren't you holding this sexual predator accountable in your party right but still like why isn't the law like why isn't he i mean it's crazy like his biggest thing will be like having to campaign against that you know like he's never he's not held to any of this. It's bad for his Q rating. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think that's what we'll see.
Starting point is 00:59:29 I mean, I think with this trial, I'm sure more evidence will come out and then we'll see what other things can be spun off from there. Yeah. There's a couple articles, one in Hollywood Reporter, one in Salon,
Starting point is 00:59:39 just talking about how Epstein was treated in power circles in Hollywood and New York after his 2008 arrest and conviction of being a pedophile, child sexual predator. He was at the premiere of Batman vs. Superman, that movie that only came out a couple years ago. He had people over at his mansion to meet Prince Andrew, like famous people like Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos. He had a post-Yom Kippur brunch at his house and hundreds of New York's most elite and powerful brought their children after he was spent time in jail for having sex with children. Also, Charlie Rose and Woody Allen were at that thing.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Oh. Interesting. Just the who's who. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, there's this publicist who seemed, Peggy Siegel, who's like a big publicist in the film industry, who seems to have been, he hired he must have hired her uh to like rehab his image
Starting point is 01:00:49 after his 2008 pedophilia conviction uh and it doesn't seem like it was hard enough for her to do that like there's some quotes from this salon piece this dude who uh whose experience with he was going to write a piece about jeffrey epstein uh because he thought he was very interesting when he was a writer and editor at vanity fair and then uh jeffrey epstein uh the night before he was gonna marry his wife called her and was like hey your last night of freedom why don't you come over here and fuck me and he was like huh maybe i don't like jeffrey epstein and then his like girlfriend slash like woman recruiter or child recruiter told him she was like uh if you lost
Starting point is 01:01:33 10 pounds i'd fuck you and he was like oh these are strange people uh anyways he talked about how he went around and got quotes from people and like with the idea that they would be blind items and so there's David Patrick Columbia is the editor of new of New York Social Diary explained a jail sentence doesn't matter anymore the only thing that gets you shunned in New York society is poverty and then here's an Epstein friend for 35 years who visited him in prison and attended the post Yom Kippur dinner the side I've been reading about is a side I don't know unless I've seen it I don't focus on it that's the same logic that people use to say that dinosaurs never existed by the way here's a woman who was at that dinner and several others I am many others that know him describe him as
Starting point is 01:02:23 brilliant his unique mind is what attracts the world's smartest people to his home. So if you are able to use your friendship with somebody to define yourself as one of the smartest people in the world, like maybe that's. Right. That seems like the magic ingredient that gets media and Hollywood elites to buy in. Well. And here's a distinguished scientist, because he has a lot of interaction with scientists.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Like, he partied with Stephen Hawking. He brought Stephen Hawking to. He partied with Stephen Hawking? Yeah, he brought Stephen Hawking to Little St. Jeffrey, that little St. John Island that he owned. And, like, there are pictures of him at, like, a barbecue. Jeffrey, that little St. John Island that he owned. And there are pictures of him at a barbecue and yeah. Doing a keg stand?
Starting point is 01:03:10 Right. But here's a distinguished scientist who's still alive said, I always judge things on empirical evidence. He always has women ages 19 to 23 around him, but I've never seen anything else. So as a scientist, my presumption is that whatever the problems were, I would believe
Starting point is 01:03:27 him over other people. Wow. That's 19 to 23. So cool. Very specific. Right. Wouldn't that lead you to believe this 60 year old man? Likes younger women?
Starting point is 01:03:42 Yeah. And possibly children? But I've never seen anything that's technically illegal so but i wouldn't know because i'm not checking ids this child said they were 19 yeah exactly anyways well it's a huge bummer but it's i mean it's wild that nobody that this is all just coming out now that well yeah it's been happening since he was arrested for being a child sexual predator. Yeah, and trafficking and having child pornography, maybe possibly manufacturing it.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Yeah, this happened since 2008. And it's also been happening since the beginning of time. The dawn of time. And yeah, we're only entering like... It's only now where we're like, oh, maybe grandpas shouldn't be allowed to fuck children. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Epstein is probably the worst example of that. But it's just shocking in this case because there were the arrest. The arrest happened in 2008. There was so much detail out there. And these people are like, yeah, I guess I should have Googled him before I went to his house. Should have Googled him. Yeah. Anyways, it's all a nightmare.
Starting point is 01:04:55 But hopefully this can become a moment of progress. Just let this be a trend. Bring down fucking powerful abusers. I mean, all of you just put this all out here. We're no longer in a world where it's like one of the he's apparently offering to name names of anyone who paid for sex with underage women in exchange for getting a jail sentence of no more than five years. But that would not bring down the powerful. I'm sure like Bill Clinton didn't pay him to do anything. I'm sure it was just like a favor for a favor.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Like I'm sure that that's a, that's very specifically paid for sex with underage women. Like is very specifically in there so that he wouldn't have to name. Oh, a hundred percent. Instead of just being like, Oh, I had a party and invited my 60 plus bros over with all my 15 and under.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Right. Yeah. Corralled girls yeah no money was exchanged right I'm sure and I mean one of the really creepy things is that he and Trump both bought modeling agencies around the same
Starting point is 01:05:58 time and like used them in similar ways like so it's just I'm like preparing myself for whatever the fuck used them in similar ways. Like, so it's just, I, I, I, I'm like, yeah, preparing myself for whatever the fuck I,
Starting point is 01:06:09 I, this, I feel is, is going to be the darkest fucking thing ever. But I mean, yeah, hopefully it ends some darkness for people who are being victimized by these fucking monsters. Uh,

I hope the women's national soccer team accepts their invitation to Renato's disco party from Big Little Lies. And then Laura Dern responded. Really?

And it says, My Comcast technician is coming to my apartment today sometime between noon and 4 p.m. to diagnose my internet connection issues. So I made us a fun little party spread in case he's hungry.
Starting point is 01:07:49 It's like the photo is wild. And then another one is, was trying on some athletic wear at Lululemon and the floor manager took out her phone and started an Instagram live story to document, quote, hands down the sloppiest, most boring garbage bag looking stink ass I've ever seen in the Align yoga pant. To her 19.1 thousand followers. Tweet I enjoyed Liz O'Leary tweeted I genuinely can't figure out what temperature
Starting point is 01:08:15 it is on Big Little Lies. It's true, man. It's like so gray. Yeah, sometimes they like go out and they're like wearing like coats and shit and it looks like it's like 40 go out and they're like wearing like coats and shit. Right.
