Starting point is 00:03:34 Hello. Hi, Kim. Thanks for having me. First time, long time? Yes. We just found out. And you're not lying. I have a side gang tattoo that did rub off, but we'll still call it a tattoo. Going to get it back on my butt cheeks tonight, I promise. Thank you for even letting us see it.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yeah. And you are the author of the drawing of me with high nipples, a shoulder. The viral image, yes. Yeah, the viral image. Oddly enough, you are also wearing a V-neck today. I am. Was it intentional? For this, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:05 See, my nipples aren't that high and in the middle of my chest. They're not on my neck, at least. Kim and I just exchanged an okay. Pretty sure, dude. They're fine. And there's a normal number of them, too.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Wow, nipspiracy. 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 today. We're going to check in with a, is this like a chart that tells you which scam you are according to your sign? It's like a fun quiz. Fun quiz. From Elle.com. All right. We're going to talk about a famous pervert who has launched a podcast with his daughter
Starting point is 00:04:49 called Why Am I Telling You This? Why Am I Telling You This? All in. Yeah. We're going to talk about how the Navy has started allowing pilots to report UFOs, which is a new thing, apparently, because they're seeing so many of them. It's sort of terrifying. We're going to talk about Elizabeth Warren, your dad's least favorite political candidate for 2020, but one of our favorites. She's up there. She's doing it.
Starting point is 00:05:19 We're going to talk about jobs you can get without a bachelor's and where to go to find them. Amazon being the new version of your local news, making the world in your direct neighborhood seem scarier than it actually is. Oprah's ability to give baby shower gifts. Pretty good. You won't be surprised. But Kim, first, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Recently, I looked up Bloody Marys for a comic. At sleepovers, I don't know if you guys still have them.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We just had one last night. Okay. When you go to the bathroom, turn out the light, and you say Bloody Mary three times, and she's supposed to appear. Right. bathroom turn out the light and you say bloody mary three times and she's supposed to appear right so i wanted to use the idea for a comic but the internet loves to tell you when you're wrong so i just wanted to google it and make sure i was right but then went down a terrible rabbit hole of the actual bloody mary uh queen elizabeth the her sister, who just slaughtered Protestants left and right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Yeah. Not that cool. No. No. What was the thing you were trying to get right about Bloody Mary? Like, just the mechanics of how the Bloody Mary thing works? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Like, my sleepovers, it was turn out the light, had a flashlight, and then spin around three times and say it. had a flashlight and then spin around three times and say it but I didn't know if that was like my hometown version of it versus how you're supposed to do it and then get all the comments back like
Starting point is 00:06:54 no no no you did it wrong shout out to all the little kids who got too scared at a sleepover and whose parent had to come pick them up like late at night and then they would be forever shamed at school they're like fool didn't make it through the sleepover party, bro, because he's too scared. I did that a bunch when I was like at my first sleepover when I was like four or five.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Whoa, four or five? Damn. Yeah. It was just at like a single friend's house and he was younger than me and he also left when he tried to sleep over at my house. So it was all right. Younger than you? So you're hanging out with three-year-olds as a four-year-old?
Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah, I guess so. Or no, I guess I was five and he was four or something like that. Still provocative. It's a lot. Yeah. Intriguing. And yeah, so I didn't get made fun of at school for it is my point. Yeah, I remember I had a sleepover party and I'm not going to say who,
Starting point is 00:07:40 but I believe this one kid peed in my bed because he didn't have a fucking sleeping bag. So he slept in my bed and peed in my bed because he didn't have a fucking sleeping bag so he slept in my bed uh and peed my bed really yeah i mean what how could there be any confusion about that was there because my mom was like trying to i think like keep me because i'm a you know i'm an only child and like a six-year-old only child is a fucking just a nightmare human so like the idea of some fuck face pissing my bed i think she was like he's not gonna handle that right and then i remember my mom was like all your bed and peed on it no no she was like acting like i couldn't sleep in it oh she's like no hold
Starting point is 00:08:16 on hold on i was like what the fuck is going on and she was like changing the sheets and stuff and then someone was like i think dot dot, dot, dot, pee to your bed. That's terrible. I think that means it's his bed, though. Right. I know. Yeah, I think he owns the bed now. He owns that bed now. According to the law of the kingdoms, yes.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I've peed in every bed I've been in. That's just how you let the world know. I know. We're still paying all those fees from all the hotels we stay in. What is something you think is overrated? Just going to come in hot and say POV porn. POV porn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Okay. It just, one, it's disrespectful to the partner. I don't want a camera in my face. Your dick's already in me. Let's get to the moment. Okay. And then as a viewer, you get a great angle and then they fucking move. And I'm looking at the guy's
Starting point is 00:09:08 chest or at the bed sheet. Right. Like homemade POV porn where it's like the person is not very skilled at doing the camera work. Not at all. You can tell they're enjoying it, but I'm not enjoying it.
Starting point is 00:09:24 If you're going to upload it, I want to be able to enjoy what I'm viewing. And I can't do like browsers or just porn that's scripted because it's just too fake. You can't enjoy it. And also cause money. Yeah. Nobody got browsers money. Even the wealthy don't have browsers money. Bang bros?
Starting point is 00:09:43 I don't know. That's old. Yeah. Bang bros, don't know. That's old, yeah. Bang Bros, MoFos, they're all out there. Onion Booty. Go on. Yo, Onion Booty was one of them. Miles is a knowledge. Hey, man, because that booty would make you cry.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Is that right? Yeah. Is that what it is? Yes. Oh, wow. So, yeah. You know, what is your preferred method of, I guess, type of cinematography for a scene? Really, just have a good angle and stick the camera there and go at it.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Do you like multiple cuts or do you like a one locked off shot? You know what? Multiple cuts would be preferred. Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Like, if you're going to take the time to upload it to the internet, just put out your best work. What do you think about the new, like, the wave of porn that's, like, just about, like, pure passion, and it's just, like, very softly lit.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Right. And it looks like a soap opera, but people would be, like, making out hardcore. Like, the people seem convincingly in love with one another. Yeah, like, that's a whole genre. Obviously, like, every time on the front page of any of these sites, it's always, like, stepsister. stepsister right like has to keep a secret and you're like what the who the fuck is that for like why am i but then there's other ones where i'm seeing more of the just the
Starting point is 00:10:56 passionate ones and maybe people are like they've gotten so cynical with their porn that they're like i just want to see love again yeah Yeah, like X-rated the notebook scene. You sure? They actually went through with it. That's fine. It really depends on my mood. Yeah, sure. It's all moving.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Specifically, by the way, the Ferris wheel scene from the notebook. So it's very acrobatic. It's kind of impressive. No, that handstand was great. Yeah, so POV porn, it's overrated. It had its time. Yeah, it's great, and I think probably from a guy's perspective, it's a bit more enjoyable. Right. But.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Is there POV porn from a woman's perspective? With just some dude sweating on you? Yeah, just like over top of you. That's just scary. Right. That's just not you? Yeah. Just like over top of you? That's just scary. Right. Yeah, that's just not interesting. Yeah, and then, you know, cowgirl style, you want to grip things, so I can't hold a camera unless I get like something on my head, a GoPro.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Right. That's what they need to do, see? Is that what they're doing? That seems like what they should be doing, right? Well, sometimes you do see ones where you see both arms and you're like, okay, so they're using some kind of rig. Yeah. Other times-
Starting point is 00:12:04 Or their friends just like over top. Just being like that. Just like hand on arms and you're like, okay, so they're using some kind of rig. Yeah. Other times. Or their friends just like over the top. Just like hand on the dude's shoulder like, yeah. I would be more interested to see photos of them doing that than the porn itself. Right. And then the porn. Behind the scenes. Yeah. I would watch the behind the making of POV porn.
Starting point is 00:12:21 That would be really fun. Actually, the making of all homemade porn. That would be really fun. Actually, the making of all homemade porn is probably more interesting than anything because it involves the conversation. No one has the proper equipment. The person fucking up at it. Yeah, probably better camera angles. How do we get the camera to stay there?
Starting point is 00:12:35 I don't know, put a book underneath it and then tilt it. Right. Get a tripod. Amen. Reverse cowgirl POV porn from the woman's perspective is just the dude's naked feet. Just looking at the dude's toes curl up. Amen. Reverse cowgirl POV porn from a woman's perspective. It's just the dude's naked feet.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Just looking at the dude's toes curl up. Oh, I think you just, yeah. These toenails are dirty. I got dirty toenails. What is something you think is underrated? Incest. No, I'm kidding. Stepsister.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Step porn. Stepmother porn. Actually, Stephen King. Stephen King? King. Oh, okay. I thought this was more porn stuff. Hard at G. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Okay. But the author, not the racist. Okay. Yeah, that would be very interesting. Yeah, but I think people shit on him a lot. Right. Third act problems. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:24 People always point out he doesn't know how to end a story or whatever. That and then because of his genre is a lot of horror and he does do some weird stuff. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:35 We got The Shining. We have Pet Sematary. We have these really, really great novels from him and people just think he's a
Starting point is 00:13:43 trash author or maybe just a paperback, nothing special. He's not the Mark Twain of our time, but I think he could be. Yeah, he's given us a lot of ideas that we're still using. A lot of people just base his stuff off the movies they see. And it's so hard to translate a Stephen King novel into a film like Pet Sematary I don't think it did very well I didn't see it the first one uh the first one and then they just did a
Starting point is 00:14:12 remake right which was like a Netflix or no it was full theater yeah uh huh but how do you translate the loss of a small child and dealing with that grief visually when you really got to describe it in depth and he does that very well right and i think if you did it in a way that honored his text like the films would be too intense for people to even watch like yeah i the first part where the person lost a child i was already checked out because oh yeah so like you lose your kid and then you're grappling with your mental health and you're literally selling your soul to bring him back any way you can and just it's deep and dark and he's very good with these big overall themes he does muddle the plot at times in certain books sure but like pet cemetery is my favorite i read it cover to cover in one
Starting point is 00:15:05 night and i could not fucking sleep i was terrified right so i think he should be appreciated more for his work and then judging him off the films yeah what's the one what's a stephen king film that you felt did the book the source material justice uh the green mile was pretty good and interesting that didn't come out in one single novel i believe he did it in like excerpts excerpts you know sections yeah but that was pretty serialized there we go okay he wrote that well and they translated well you also have a great cast like tom hanks how do you fuck that up? Right. And it is peak Tom Hanks. Like the thing that his career has all been going towards, this is something I pointed out in a Cracked podcast,
Starting point is 00:15:51 is he always likes to pee, like have like pee things. There's a lot of, yeah. There's a lot of peeing. Forrest Gump, I gotta go pee. I gotta go pee, yeah. There's like a peeing scene. That's how he gets away from the weird people and the burbs. He pretends he has to go pee.
Starting point is 00:16:07 He gets pissed on by the house in the money pit. His whole career is just pee-based. My mind is blown. In Cast Away, there's a scene where he... The one thing that you wouldn't have a question about is, where do you pee on this desert island? They make a point of showing him pee uh like in the ocean uh apollo 13 there's a big scene where he pees and it like gets shot out into space oh yeah whoa yeah so and then the green mile i think is the culmination of all this shaky pee it's shaky pee. His character has an issue peeing.
Starting point is 00:16:45 So his character's central conflict is urinary. Kidney stones or something like that. And gets full on crotch grabbed. Yeah. Trump style. Yeah. Wow. Could you imagine him and Tarantino together?
Starting point is 00:16:59 It would just be pissing on feet. Yeah. He's like, I piss on these feet, Tom. Yeah. My least favorite thing about Stephen King is that he doesn't like the movie The Shining, which I just can't get over that. Have you read the book? No. Bro.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Okay. My bad. Damn. Yeah. So Chess passed the ball right back to you, bro. Have you read the book? It's two separate things. I could go on about Stephen King and Mark Hamill forever just because I feel like they're so underappreciated for just their works in general. But The Shiny is totally different from the book and the movie.
Starting point is 00:17:38 And it's deeper, darker. A lot of that mental stuff that I was saying earlier, it's hard to translate. It's darker than the movie? Yeah. Jesus. Have you read All That You Love Will Be Carried Away, his short story? No. It's non-horror.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And he was like, I'm going to write one of these New Yorker short stories. And it's fucking fantastic. I will have to do that. He completely, completely nailed it. But yeah, he's one of our great authors that probably down the road people will be like, yeah. He was not just a genre artist. He was like a great American author. I think so.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Yeah, I think you're right. Okay. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? People from the Disney marketing and advertising are normal humans. That's what people think. And you know. They are not. They're probably psychopaths. They know how to target your most vulnerable, nostalgic thoughts as a kid, a family, growing up in general, and they will pinpoint it and just take you down.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And I don't hate them for it. I would love to know how they work on the inside. But, yeah, they're not normal. They tend to get people to buy their stuff. Yeah, they're pretty good at that is there a particular moment like it does seem in retrospect
Starting point is 00:19:10 cruel that they killed Bambi's mom like because that is a movie for children it was like the 40s or 50s it was like damn man I couldn't watch it because of that part yeah no that's like a real I mean and that expands to all Disney movies. Like all Disney movies, the parents are dead or gone or just don't exist.
Starting point is 00:19:31 And I mean, that's part of the joy of like watching them as a kid is like, whoa, what if me, Home Alone type thing? Right. You know, what if I was in charge? What if I murked my parents? Right. And there were no rules. Home alone.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Have you seen the How to Draw a Disney Character guide from back when Walt Disney was around? It's just all these little tricks that the big eyes are playing on the fact that our brain is hacked to see babies as
Starting point is 00:20:04 beautiful. The only thing that never grows hacked to see babies as beautiful. Oh, yeah. The only thing that never grows in a human is the eyes, so they're huge when you're a baby. It's all these things that he knew about how the human mind worked that he's just laying out. Oh, right. It's fucked up, man.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah, so they know how to target you, and they'll get you to buy whatever they need you to buy. And what? They're going on 100 years now? Strong? Yeah, man. And shit. Some dark stuff in the history.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And fortunately, they're not litigious at all. So we can say whatever we want about them. They're usually very understanding. Yeah. I'm an annual pass holder and I have them tattooed on my body, so please forgive me. You have the marketing people? No, she has the AP sticker, the bumper sticker people have
Starting point is 00:20:53 with a Mickey head and AP. I have a hidden Mickey tattoo. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, right next to the zeitgeist. There you go. Well, all right. Let's get into talking about our signs. Let's get personal. So, Anna,. Let's get into talking about our signs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Let's get personal. So, Anna, you sent this in our thread, huh? Like the L.com article? Soup's producer, Anna Hosnia? Yes. So she sent in our group thread. She was just like, there's this L.com thing that says, which scam are you according to your sign?
Starting point is 00:21:21 Okay. And this just seems like stupid but fun because we like a scam here and I'm down with the astrology. Sorry? Oh, I guess it first came from a Lacey Mosley which brought it to Anna's attention which then trickled its way to our text.
Starting point is 00:21:36 I mean, when I clicked on it, I was surprised it wasn't written by Lacey Mosley. Yeah, exactly. And then her Venmo attached at the bottom. Because it is, which scam are you according to your sign? And I'll tell you behind this paywall. So let's start with you, Kim.
Starting point is 00:21:50 What's your sign? I am a Libra. You are a Libra, which would make you the Anna Delvey, a.k.a. Anna Sorokin. This scam has all the elements that would appeal to luxury-loving Libras. High fashion, fabulous friends, all the way down to the party girl herself, Anna, who is originally from Russia, tricked hotels, businesses, and friends out of at least $270,000 by posing as a German heiress. She's currently undergoing trial, where she faces up to 15 years in prison, but continues to amaze us with her style.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Okay. That's on brand. You're wearing a nice little frock today. What do you call this thing? I don't even know the fucking words I'm using. I don't know. It's cute. It's cute. It's nice, but really I tricked you guys into thinking I'm talented
Starting point is 00:22:30 and here I am. Wow. Oh, shit. Yeah, damn. There you go. Scam alert. Jack, you're Leo. I am. And that's we'll leave it there. No, you are college admissions hoax.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Wow. Leos are the ultimate performers, and for them, all the world's a stage. Guilty as charged, guys. Not only were two high-profile actresses, Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, caught at the center of this scam, they helped others act their way through the college admissions process. According to sources, the two helped celebrities' children. Okay, whatever. We get that.
Starting point is 00:23:03 I mean, I'm just your stereotypical theater kid. You know, just overly dramatic. We'll break into song every once in a while. No, I am like the anti-Leo Leo. Like, I don't really have the personality traits of a Leo. Like, aren't Leos, like, strong and domineering? Yeah, and, like, very much like, hey, look at me. I'm a Leo.
Starting point is 00:23:24 The Leo just pulled up. Rawr.ering. Yeah. And like very much like, Hey, look at me. The Leo just pulled up. Right. Yeah. And I usually crawl into rooms so that people can't see me. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And then just like kind of slowly.
Starting point is 00:23:33 You're kind of like Buster Bluth. Right. Exactly. Never seen, neither seen nor heard. Yeah. The college admissions hoax. I mean,
Starting point is 00:23:42 yeah, I could see myself getting pulled into that. I don't think I would have thought of that, but I could see like – Is that why you have your kids rowing right now? Yeah, exactly. No, but like your love for – it's basically exploiting your love for your child and also a superficiality, which I guess I hope I don't have, but – That V-neck?
Starting point is 00:24:05 See? Thank you. See, we're seeing the same thing. The V-neck is superficial. But, you know. That V-neck. See? Thank you. See, we're seeing the same thing. V-neck is superficient. Well, you know, you care. You definitely care. Fuck boy brand, man. You're trying to show off that C hair, that chest hair.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And for me, Virgo, Frank Abagnale, which I like this. Oh, damn. Well, of course I see why you wanted to do this one. No, I didn't even look. I literally just looked now. Uh-huh. The meticulous shadiness. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Just starting that. Undertaken by Frank Abagnale, made infamous in Catch Me If You Can, is exactly the kind of scam that would excite detail-oriented Virgos. Frank was one of the first check forgers and reportedly passed $2.5 million of phony checks in every U.S. state and 26 countries. Virgos are known for their ability to fly under the radar. Yeah, we are. And fly under the radar.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Miles did. They call me the stealth bonger. I'd be polite. Yeah, thank you, DJ Danil. DJ Danil, by the way, has been producing the podcast. And I'm not going to say that wasn't a warning bomb drop because it was, but you'll notice the bomb drops are pretty aggressive. They're all over the place.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Last episode was pretty heavy. Well, he's a DJ. You know what I mean? Hit him with that air horn, that dance hall horn. See, that's his whole brain. Wait, was mine not as good then? Is he just throwing this stuff away? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:20 You know, I pay him on the side to give me more drops, so it's kind of an unspoken thing. And Anna, what's yours? You're Gemini. You're the Gemini. So that would make you the Russian trolls during the 2016 election. Gemini represents journalism, facts, and communication on the Russian fake social media ads. Okay, perfect storm of all these things.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Good for you. See, we're just a bunch of scammers in here. I'm trying to look at which would be the worst one. I mean, probably college admissions which would be the worst one. I mean, probably college admissions scandal would be the worst one. I guess catfishing isn't great, but at least they're successful at what they do, whereas college admissions scandal just sucks. And for those interested, Aries is Fire Festival, Taurus is Detox Tea, Cancer is Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Dee Dee Blanchard,
Starting point is 00:26:04 Libra, we already did that one, Scorpio, Dr. John Meehan, a.k.a. Dirty John, Detox Tea. Cancer is Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Dee Dee Blanchard. Libra. We already did that one. Scorpio. Dr. John Meehan, a.k.a. Dirty John. Sagittarius. Nigerian Prince Scam. Capricorn. Bernie Madoff. Aquarius. Theranos. That would have been kind of chill. Pisces.

Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:13 That just bothers me that it's called Why Am I Telling You This? Because it implies dad having some sort of like, oh, man. Oversharing? Yeah, oversharing. but we know he is... The Oversharing Podcast with Mr. Secrets. Right. I like sitting with my shoulders up cringing for a half hour. So I think this could be very successful.
Starting point is 00:31:37 You're going to love this episode, by the way. What's the premise of the podcast? What's the whole idea behind it? It's him talking to Chels. Hey, man. Yeah. And Spark man. Yeah. And it's Sparker Blunt. Your mother was a real tiger when she was young.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Anyway. Did I tell you about this affair? Right, exactly. You want to see some POV porn? Oh, dude, Dad. Okay, why am I telling you this? Why are we telling anybody about this? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:02 It just bugs me. Creeps me out. Let's talk about what I think would be front page news if the media was not biased against UFO stories. But all right. So we've talked before about these Navy videos that were released that showed a Tic Tac, like flying object that looked like a tic-tac that was making all sorts of maneuvers in the air that seemed impossible. And you have, you know, pilots in the background being like, that isn't possible. Wait, what's it doing now?
Starting point is 00:32:34 And then it like just zips off and they're like, holy shit. Right. Moving in ways like our current technology as we know it could not explain. So I'm just going to kick this latest article off with a straight read of the opening of this article, which is in some bullshit conspiracy rag called the Washington Post. All right. So it opens up a recent uptick in sightings of unidentified flying objects, or as the military calls them, unexplained aerial phenomena prompted the Navy to draft formal procedures
Starting point is 00:33:04 for pilots to document encounters, a corrective measure that former officials say is long overdue. As first reported by Politico, these intrusions have been happening on a regular basis since 2014, so that's UFOs flying into military airspace. Recently, unidentified aircraft have entered military-designated airspace as often as multiple times per month. Joseph Gratisher, spokesperson for Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, told the Washington Post on Wednesday. Citing safety and security concerns, Gratisher vowed to investigate each and every report.
Starting point is 00:33:38 He said, we want to get to the bottom of this. We need to determine who's doing it, where it's coming from, and what their intent intent is we need to try to find ways to prevent it from happening again oh man do you think this escalates to yo next time you see one of them shit to shoot it the fuck down i think they probably would have already done that if the thing didn't wasn't faster than our aircraft or any known aircraft and they're like i can't get a heat signature on it because it's like cold as ice and is moving in ways we don't know. I mean, I like to know that there are more of these things happening.
Starting point is 00:34:13 I mean, it adds mystery to the universe. I'm all about mystery. Like that makes the world more interesting. It's just they, like I always assumed they knew something and weren't telling us. And it seems like they were just too stodgy to acknowledge the thing that we all kept, like, having, like, little trace evidence of. They were just like, fine, I guess we'll acknowledge that there are these things that, by the laws of physics, as we know them, don't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:34:44 I just think aliens are getting really bad at voyeur porn yeah right just a theme sorry they really are they're just trying to flex on our space and i welcome our alien overlords with open arms well so tentacles i mean they seem to be like pissed off and thinking that it's something being made by other security forces or other countries. Right, because you don't want to just be like, yeah, man, we got to do something about these fucking aliens. Because you can't just jump to that conclusion quite yet. And I don't think the military mind is necessarily constructed to make room for aliens, right? Like the whole thing is country versus know, country versus country warfare,
Starting point is 00:35:27 nation versus nation. More from the article, in some cases pilots, many of whom are engineers and academy graduates, claim to observe small spherical objects flying in formation. Others say they've seen white tic-tac shaped vehicles. Aside from drones, all engines rely on burning fuel to generate power but these vehicles all had no air intake no wind and no exhaust it's very mysterious and they still seem to exceed our aircraft and speed he said calling it a truly radical technology that's chris mellon by the
Starting point is 00:35:59 way a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence and staffers um so he's these are official like these are official pentagon dudes just being like yeah so ufos are real they're doing things that aren't physically possible we don't know what to tell you uh i would just love like i was telling you earlier that we're so behind in science that like other countries have just figured out new forms of propulsion and we're here like i don that like other countries have just figured out new forms of propulsion. And we're like, I don't know, fucking aliens, I think probably. It's another way to explain this because we're number one forever. Yeah. Other dude who used to run the AATIP, which was the 22 million dollar Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program,
Starting point is 00:36:49 threat identification program, which ran from 2007 to 2012 and used military technology and military personnel to investigate these things. So you're kind of hoping he has some insight and is like, well, we have theories that aren't as interesting as the theories you have or aren't as scary, at least. Here's a quote from him. If I came to you and said, there are these things that fly over our country with impunity, defying the laws of physics, and within moments could deploy a nuclear device at will,
Starting point is 00:37:14 that would be a matter of national security. And he just seems like this type of activity is very alarming and people are recognizing there are things in our aerospace that lie beyond our understanding. That's the dude who led. Like this is fucking bonkers. And like it does seem like it should be front page news, but there's like a seriousness bias, I guess. So it's just like a thing that I mean, it's even surprising that the Washington Post is acknowledging it.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Right. I mean, look, let's usher in the new era where we're like, yeah, man, we got these shits flying around. We really, no one knows what they are. And maybe we need to put some serious effort into understanding it. Or maybe it's mass hallucinations. I don't know, guys. What's real anymore? They just got to clean off the windshield a little bit better.
Starting point is 00:38:09 They're all seeing those floaters that you see in your eye when you look up at the sky. Somehow the cameras are seeing them too and so are the radar. Sorry, I'm very serious about this, guys. I'm like, no, shut up. No jokes, asshole. The big change that is being reported in this Washington Post article is that there's now an official way for naval personnel to report these things.
Starting point is 00:38:34 And that will officially be on the record. And the Navy, you know, it raised a bunch of interest in those official reports. And the Navy was quick to announce that there will be an open source database where anyone can log on and find out all the real time information there is to know about all of the sightings. Nope. Actually they're announcing they won't be sharing any of that information with the public, uh,
Starting point is 00:38:58 because fuck all of you. Yeah. Um, so even though they don't have a better explanation and have no idea what's going on, they're just like, sorry, it's secret. Well, this is a good way to start it. If we can't track it, if we can't like break it down, at least we can have the reports and say, oh, this tic-tac and this tic-tac did this zigzag and went off that way. So we can build the data. Right. Like, I'm not opposed to the belief of UFOs being aliens.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Yeah. And I don't think the U.S. is so far backwards that we're so behind on technology that we can't. No, I don't think so either. Yeah. It's just more for comedic effect, I think. Oh, of course. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:39:40 We're backwards in a lot of ways. Yeah. It would be like a thing Mike Judge would write in a script. That would be like a thing Mike Judge would write in a script that would be great the future of America where like Americans are so confused by other techniques it's aliens man and we're gonna blow everything up but yeah like you were saying it seems like we should be using
Starting point is 00:39:54 like putting all of the information together like all of the eyewitness accounts and you know have some x-files out there maybe they do and we just don't know about them probably but it's good to know that we have something started so we can learn from it slowly, gradually, and maybe get better in time. What I'm going to say is this is great marketing for Tic Tacs. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I mean, talk about the Disney marketing people. Tic Tac is fucking crushing it. They should make alien Tic Tacs. Right. Limited edition. Well, all right. So now in, I guess, less important news, because all news would be less important,
Starting point is 00:40:31 Elizabeth Warren seems to be actually gaining momentum in the election. The latest polls have her kind of going forward into third place in some of them. One of them, she's in second place behind Biden. Yeah, right, behind Biden. Or in one of them, but yeah. Yeah, so we've been kind of saying,
Starting point is 00:40:52 why isn't Elizabeth Warren doing better? She's actually putting out all these really interesting, thoughtful policy positions. And it seems like maybe she's starting to pick up traction by just announcing a reasonable, smart, brilliantly thought out policy one after another. Yeah. She's like, hey, canceling student debt. You good with that?
Starting point is 00:41:13 Right. Hi. Are we concerned with African-American women's maternity care? No. Okay, good. Y'all are on board. Okay. And now Puerto Rico?
Starting point is 00:41:21 Yeah. It's like she's trying to be fucking president or some shit. What's her deal? But look, her most recent plan she unveiled on Medium, so youthful, was just basically to really take a look at Puerto Rico's recovery and more specifically their debt, because that's the biggest thing that's holding the territory behind. because that's the biggest thing that's holding the territory behind. And in this really well-written post on Medium,
Starting point is 00:41:51 she was saying it wasn't just the Trump administration's inept response, though. One of the biggest constraints holding back the recovery has been Puerto Rico's debt. Revenue needed to provide services to residents is instead going to pay off old debts, with few investors unwilling to put money into rebuilding Puerto Rico with its massive debt overhang because they see no clear path to earning a return on their investment. And so there was a bill that was created called Promesa that she voted against that was going to be handling the way the debt was going to be handled. And her whole point is like, look, if Puerto Rico, like she says, quote, were a big company in this kind of financial trouble, it could file for bankruptcy, pay some of its debts, discharge the rest, then start rebuilding. If Puerto Rico were an American city
Starting point is 00:42:33 in this kind of financial trouble, it could do the same. But because Puerto Rico isn't a corporation or city because of its unique status, those legal options aren't available. So it's caught in a terrible position. So her whole deal is like, OK, great. Let's begin to figure out how we can cancel this debt, move forward. And then one of the biggest things is that like a lot of the people who hold the debt of Puerto Rico are in these like vulture funds. And they quote, buy debt of a borrower in trouble, usually for pennies on the dollar, and then pick the bones clean when the borrower can't pay. So in this one, it means that Wall Street investors get more money by slashing services
Starting point is 00:43:07 and selling government assets and things like that. And the way the PROMESA bill is set up, it's prioritizing that Puerto Rico pay back its debt holders first rather than actually putting money back into the territory. So it's like there's,
Starting point is 00:43:19 it's just a fucking black hole and nothing they can't, there's no way for us to actually dignifiably treat this debt and help the people of puerto rico americans right uh it's just a functionally it's just a way to funnel money to wall street yeah essentially and that's why she's also on top of that wants an audit of puerto rico's debt to be like how did we get here right because it wants to make sure nothing untoward was happening, which it absolutely was.
Starting point is 00:43:46 So, you know, hey, wow, look at that. Somebody, good idea. And like really kind of looking at an issue like Puerto Rico, too, to help understand, you know, why it's in the place it is. And it's not just sort of like they're asking for too much money. Yeah. You already saw my J was wetty with the paper towels. That's right
Starting point is 00:44:05 i think she really has her pulse or has the pulse of what's going on with millennials and most americans right now because debt is fucking everything yeah so she had my attention with student debt forgiveness i'm in the hole and it's going to be with me for a long ass time. So by her hitting the point with Puerto Rico, I think that's awesome just because it does give
Starting point is 00:44:35 a viable solution and bringing to light the shadiness of possible government functions. Yeah. That's everything. And the financial industry. Yeah. That's everything that people. And the financial industry. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:45 That's everything that people want right now. We want to know what the fuck's going on with the government and how the fuck can I get out of debt. Right. So she's starting it early, driving it home. Yeah. I'm paying more attention to her now rather than Beto who's standing on tables.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah. He's so good at doing that. He is pro's standing on tables. Yeah. He's so good at doing that. He is pro at standing on tables. He's the one person who's, I mean, not the only person, but he seems to have fallen the furthest from early days when he first announced to where he's at now. He's just not really saying anything that's getting picked up. Well, I think maybe because he's doing less nationally visible stuff
Starting point is 00:45:25 and he's really just focusing on turning out these primary states, or the caucuses. Because in New Hampshire and Iowa, it seems like he wants to just make sure those people understand him first rather than doing the kinds of things that are making the headlines that everyone's going to talk about. But we'll see. I think he's a bit green behind the ears.
Starting point is 00:45:43 He was our hero against Ted Cruz. so that's how he got his platform good for him for fucking hustling and i don't think he'll make it far this uh campaign but he has the right mindset i think yeah yeah but yeah i will i will i will sit here and watch him evolve bit by bit. We were talking off mic last week about how it seems like dads hate Elizabeth Warren or a certain type of dad hates Elizabeth Warren. Yeah. White, cis, male dads over the age of 50. And part of it just seems like generally, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:27 internalized misogyny and being like, it's not that I'm a misogynist. It's that her voice really gets like, you know, like things. Or electability or some other weird thing. But I also think there's this like sort of soft, quiet propaganda campaign that's been going on ever since so the way she made her name was by regulating the banks yeah and bankers fucking hate elizabeth warren and for a certain generation like bankers and like rich wall street dudes are like the peak like they're who you want to be you want to be a rich right like that's
Starting point is 00:47:05 I know a lot of people who took their education and went right into like hedge funds and just like fucking making as much money as they can not like worried about like where it's coming from and I I think for them like there's like the golf course like oral tradition like corridor where people where that like Elizabeth Warren hate is also coming from like the like sort of moderate Republican dads who like don't love Trump but they also are like but Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton remind me of a woman that emasculated me years ago. The school nurse. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:47:47 But yeah, especially for Banks because she knows the whole game. She gets it. She sees the fucking Matrix and they're like, ooh. So the thing that I think makes her unpopular and hated with a lot of those people is the thing that is powerful and should be interesting to people who are interested in things besides how to get their bank to make more money for them. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:13 You know, the process will continue, and we'll see the field get further and further spread out. Are you saying that you're going to trust the process, Myles? I trust the process. See, what annoys me about the DNc right now is we acted like we i'm not a part of it but i definitely lean that way uh we acted like republicans who said we're going to take back obamacare and replace it and then they had four years and they did shit and they didn't have anything we had three years to come up with some good candidates and good policy and get everyone up.
Starting point is 00:48:47 And now we have like, what, 20 people running? 21. Yeah. Michael Bennett now. We didn't do anything. We talked about it, too. I know that in the news they were saying we got to come up with policy. We got to find someone to put out there.
Starting point is 00:49:02 And it seems like we all just kind of sat there and. Yeah, I mean, we have we have people out there with the good ideas. I think it's just about that. You know, we have the media that's moving a lot of opinion, too, and they seem to just really want to push this Biden thing. Yeah. And at times, like maybe not be fully forthright with the way they're presenting those facts. like according to the media biden has already run away with the nomination and certainly there's going to be a bias towards like having a backlash story because that's what keeps people watching but right now the story is being covered as though biden has like taken taken the thing almost yeah and you know and then and then doing the same thing of like oh we don't
Starting point is 00:49:45 want to get too radical right we don't want to get too progressive because you know it'll happen let's just john carry it and see what happens i think that's definitely true what you were saying about like the fact like biden doesn't have a policy position that's like that he's uh vocalized or like put into words that is a compelling response to like what trump has done or what the republicans have done i do think that there are people though like elizabeth warren who's been thinking about this her whole life yeah because she wanted to be president and that's a good thing you want somebody who's been from day one been like yeah this is how i would fix the country yeah or at the very least present a i mean like there's just not a world of view of the future of the country that biden
Starting point is 00:50:30 is presenting that is going to energize me right you know aside from just the well fuck i'm gonna vote against trump thing right that you're gonna get more people to come out if you have someone up there who's presenting a vision of the future that is actually energizing rather than like all right well let's get this other fucking guy out like rather than like no this person is actually like advocating for something that like is going to affect my life is going to affect the lives of people my family etc my community yeah no to be devil's advocate he doesn't really need to do that because one for millennials and younger he had some great memes. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah. Like he can just bask in the glow of being in popular favor. Nostalgia.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Meme gods, Joe Biden. And then, of course, you have Obama. I think you guys did talk about this. Obama heading his ad in the very beginning. So he doesn't need to put the work out there, and he can slowly just sit and see how people respond to what Elizabeth Warren is doing. Right. And then he'll suddenly be like, I'm actually also very concerned about like maternity mortality in hospitals. No, I mean, this is how he what he's doing is like what everybody who is in politics will tell you is the smart thing to do. What Elizabeth
Starting point is 00:51:43 Warren is doing is the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do, which is you sit back, wait and see how people feel about other people's policy positions, and then you draft off of that, pick and choose your spots, and just don't say anything that could possibly be controversial in a lead up. But I think Elizabeth Warren, out of probably desperation because she's being overshadowed by a, you know, implicitly misogynist media,
Starting point is 00:52:11 like is like, well, here's one way I can do it by having the best ideas. And that's somehow working. It'll be interesting. Well, I think her rollout was just a little shaky. That didn't do her any favors.
Starting point is 00:52:23 But so I think now we're starting to see. Yeah. And I think, yeah, just the press, the video wasn't that shaky. That didn't do her any favors. So I think now we're starting to see. Pocahontas stuff. Yeah. And I think, yeah, just the video wasn't that great. And people were just kind of like, hmm. It wasn't like the sort of instant enthusiasm. And I think now that works. There's some distance between that.
Starting point is 00:52:35 And we're starting to see her policy positions and things like that. Now that's actually helping to elevate her position a little bit. Yeah. Her coming in, it was an Instagram story, right? How she announced her candidacy. There was. And then there was a video too. I mean, there's probably, it's multidimensional.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Yeah. It was just cringy and kind of slow to start. But I don't think it can get much better unless someone offers like Cupcake Wednesdays too or something like that. Free weed Wednesdays. Yeah. I'm all for it. All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

And let's talk about who would be the ideal person if you were having a child to buy a baby gift for you? For me, who would be, like if- This is an awkward framing of talking about how Oprah gives the best gift. Okay, but no, let me think about this. Okay, if I, aside from Oprah,
Starting point is 00:57:34 because I think I actually would pick Oprah. Yeah. Based on her favorite things and shit, I'm like, yo, Oprah's, she knows about technologies and items that are 50 years in the future. Her book lists are great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:44 She was talking about Uggs in 1972. Was she really? No. Oh. But that's the kind of wave I feel like she's on. She's like, comfort! Yeah. Yeah, Oprah, maybe Tinker Hatfield.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Yeah. Just because I'm like, yo, just give me some sneakers. Right, right. Fuck this kid. Well, so Oprah, she's working on a series with future dad, Prince Harry. Yep. And was asked what her thoughts were on a baby gift. And Miles, what did she say?
Starting point is 00:58:16 She said, I have a standard gift that I do for people that I really care about. So I don't know the baby's name or the baby's gender, but this baby will have enough books to last a lifetime. Oh, boom. So, okay. That's an interesting thing. But we want to know a little bit more. Oprah, what are you just giving like a fucking lifetime Audible subscription? Right.
Starting point is 00:58:35 No. So Mindy Kaling went. Fucking amazing. She was like, a gold subscription to Audible for six months. Yeah, it's like, that doesn't help my child even be literate, Oprah. Who cares? Bye. So Mindy Kaling on A Wrinkle in Time, when they were doing press for that,
Starting point is 00:58:55 she mentioned the gift that she had received from Oprah when she had her child. And the gift was extravagante, okay? So they said it was a hand-carved bookshelf engraved with Mindy's daughter's name filled with 100 personalized books. And it was so large that it had to be delivered in a fucking moving truck. Wow. So. Damn. Weird flex, Oprah.
Starting point is 00:59:18 But I'm here for it. At the same time. All of them Stephen King. All your kids are going to love this. Yeah. She's not very optimistic about how fast this baby will read because 100 books will not last you a lifetime, especially if they're children's books.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Unless it's just like Anna Karenina. Right. Oh, man. Like, here's a people's history of the United States. Young child. What does personalized books mean? Maybe that they're like, the covers are embossed, like, with the child's name. Wow.
Starting point is 00:59:50 I thought maybe, like, because it's Oprah, she probably could do this, have every author, if they're still alive, or maybe bring them back from the dead. It's like an Oprah. Yeah. And sign it, to baby, love. Mark Twain. Mark Twain. Yes. Love Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe. Whoa Twain. Mark Twain, yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Love Edgar Allan Poe. Whoa. You guys are fucking on the- We don't wear v-necks. Sorry, Jack, gotta go. Yeah. We're starting our own show called Two People Saying the Exact Same Thing at the Same Time.
Starting point is 01:00:16 We speak as one. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, yeah, I guess personalized, or what if she's just changing all the characters' names to the baby's name? Right, that's what I was wondering. So there are these personalized books that you can get that the only thing that changes is, like, the names. It's about, like, your kids.
Starting point is 01:00:32 And it's like, for instance, we have Ramsey and Bo go together. And it's, like, a story about Ramsey and Bo playing together and, like, learning to be friends and learning to share and stuff. And it's a great gift. A little shout out to my friend Dickie who gave that to us. And then we stole that gift idea and started giving it out. So there are personalized books that you can get. But I like rewriting literature. Yeah, I'm wondering if it's just the Berenstain Bears
Starting point is 01:00:59 have been slightly altered to look like the family that she's giving it to. That would have a weird effect on the kid because then you go to school like reading all these books you think were about you. What the fuck is this? You're the great Gatsby.
Starting point is 01:01:12 I thought it was called the great Greg. No, Greg, please go. All right, whatever. I'm sure a lot of people she buys gifts for are naming their kid Greg. Kim, it has been such a pleasure having you here. Where can people find you? You guys can find me on Instagram and Twitter at the underscore underscore red dot.
Starting point is 01:01:36 I put out comics every fucking day. Right on. And they're very funny. Some are trash. Some are trash. I was i was gonna say that but no uh and is there a tweet or other work of social media that you've been enjoying i have two and i hope that's okay because one of them is from a pretty popular person okay So the first one is from Karen Kilgariff from My Favorite Murder. Never heard of her.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Yeah. But, you know, she's somewhat popular on Twitter. Oh, yeah. But a tweet that she had was, they refused to chop my wedge salad, so now I'm just sitting here in a silent hotel room sawing away at a quarter head of iceberg lettuce like a goddamn pioneer. And it's just the visual on that was so true. So hard to cut.
Starting point is 01:02:31 And then another one is from actually a friend of mine. He does comics as well, but he wrote, one of your balls may hang lower, but the other one is closer to your heart. And he's at Hot Paper Comics. All right. Miles, where can people find you? Find me, follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey. A tweet I like is from at KMRob.
Starting point is 01:02:58 But it was basically a screen grab. I don't know if you remember John Gosselin from John and Kate Plus 8, but on his Instagram, this is not even a joke. He has an Instagram. And it says, this is from over the weekend, it says, Chili's Cinco de Mayo, Sunday, May
Starting point is 01:03:18 5th, 5pm to 9pm at the Chili's in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. I don't even know if I'm saying that town right. With John Gosselin. And this motherfucker's DJing. At Chili's. At Chili's in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:03:32 John Gosselin. Remember John and K Plus ate that reality show when people had all them fucking kids? That's fucking amazing. That is beautiful. He is a Chili's Cinco de Mayo DJ now. And her thing was just like, well, I know where I'm watching the Sixers game. Oh, man. It just blew my mind as someone who watches trash reality.
Starting point is 01:03:51 And his face right now is perfect. Isn't that just like peak? And it's weird. There's like a logo that just says like G with headphones on. But I don't know what that even means. I guess that's his. Or he's gangsta. I mean, look at that DJ Daniel. I guess that's his... Gosling? Or he's gangsta? I mean, look at that, DJ Daniel.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Yeah. Shout out. I mean, and you know what the sad part is? I'm thinking he's on Serato. So he kind of respects the turntablism.
Starting point is 01:04:17 I'm kind of mad. I was hoping it was CDJs, but he's got like two 12s and like a rain mixer. Woo! Maybe we have to go to Cinco de Mayo next year or wherever. Hey, follow John Gosselin.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Why is he verified and I'm not? Anyway, I'm salty about that. Let's see here. Andy Richter tweeted, guys, I checked. Yup, another fucking Monday. Brendan O'Hare pointed out this sentence from an opinion piece
Starting point is 01:04:48 by Hugh Hewitt titled, The 2020 Election Isn't Going to Be Close, and he tweeted and Hugh Hewitt wrote, The Green New Deal sounds like a bad science fair project where the smart kids got the colors to combine via an elaborate
Starting point is 01:05:04 device and make all the quote lava flow back down the volcano sides and the village is destroyed. And Brendan O'Hare tweeted I think that this is the least a sentence has ever made sense. Quite true. Josh Letterman tweeted
Starting point is 01:05:20 I see the Night King as a metaphor for evil and Boog at Boog Tweets, tweeted, if the inventor of the four cheese pizza is ever murdered, you can bet your sweet cheese-loving ass they're going to question the three cheese pizza guy. Yep. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Did we already do that one? No. I just know. It's true. I'm like, I already saw that conspiracy coming, man. And finally, Yusuf Roach tweeted, hilarious that Sean Kingston had a hit single where he was just straight up like, yo, this
Starting point is 01:05:47 girl is so damn hot, I'm gonna kill myself. What song is that? Suicidal. Oh, yeah. Whoa. Damn, Yusuf. You're so beautiful. More from him. Hey, we've all been there, right? You can find me

Starting point is 01:06:54 Yeah, bro, did you open for him? Is that how it's spelled? No, it's C-O-N-N-A-N. Oh, okay. Damn, dude. I thought it was like C-O-N-N-A-N. Don't come to me, bro. I opened for Connick Moccasin years ago when I was in the band.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Y'all don't know about that. I didn't know it was actually close to Conn. I was trying to make a joke. Then you caught my ego. See what happens.
