Starting point is 00:02:14 with us we are mortal and i know we had a long streak going but you know sometimes you know the lord just works in mysterious ways anyway i'm miles and again and i am in manhattan right now although just for a moment uh and i am thrilled to be joined by uh super producer becca ramos who i just met in person for the first time yesterday and miles laughed at how short i was you always said you always you're like no i'm short and i was like but you have big it's so fun you have very tall energy yeah i don't know if there is such a thing i don't know no i have gotten that a lot you're like not the only, like people
Starting point is 00:02:46 usually cannot believe how short I am. They're like, no, there's no way. When I pulled up, Super Producer Bae was like, oh shit, you're tall. I was like, I'm not that tall. I'm like, shit, I'm just a guy out here trying to live. I'm just a guy. We had a great dinner. It was you, me, Super Producer Bae,
Starting point is 00:03:02 Dr. John Paul Higgins, Olivia from the Big Money Players Network. It was just like a big, big old iHeart. It was a beautiful iHeart reunion. Yeah. Shout out iHeart for picking up the tab for that delicious dinner also. Shout out to you all. Anyway, let's talk about what's trending.
Starting point is 00:03:18 I think the biggest thing trending right now is the CNN Trump town hall. That was happening while we were having a wonderful dinner. CNN, Trump, Town Hall. That was happening while we were having a wonderful dinner. So I did catch the highlights rather the low lights when I got back to the hotel. And man, it was I don't know, it was it was exactly what I thought it would be. It didn't matter that he was just found guilty in the E.J. Carroll case because everybody in there was hooting and hollering when he took stage.
Starting point is 00:03:43 And you see a lot of people are so mad at CNN. And I mean, yeah, sure. but cnn is gonna cnn the thing that was freaky to me was like oh he still got them like the hearts and minds that are still fully there so that to me that was the freakiest shit rather than cnn just you know i mean there's not really a strong republican candidate right now sticking out for the next election so i'm not shocked sadly that he still has a hard rallying cry yeah so to speak and that thing was it was just basically a mega rally on tv yeah you know it wasn't as much as you thought they're old maybe the you know they're gonna ask some tough questions he dot he ducked and dodged any moment that he had to be accountable he caitlin I mean, the moderator in the beginning, tried to fact check Trump.
Starting point is 00:04:28 But then like once he started freestyling and then like fit 3000 lies into like a four word sentence, it was just I think became a bridge too far. Maybe the will to do it just dissipated. But apparently a lot of the staffers at cnn were not thrilled with their employers doing this and also the ceo basically told uh all the employees in the editorial call so like trump is quote tricky and messy and will continue to be messy and tricky but it's our job america was served very well by what we did last night. Mago world was. The Mago world was. You know, but other than that,
Starting point is 00:05:07 I don't know if America in general. I mean, I think the biggest thing I took away was, oh yeah, he's still at the same level of power, like in terms of his base, which I don't think we ever really saw that necessarily waning. But I think when you see it
Starting point is 00:05:22 like in that capacity in this town hall like off the heels of this conviction and they're still like yeah oh yeah and he said all kinds of terrible shit we don't even i would normally i would play clips of how bad it was but i think at this point we all know how shitty he is and how you know uh backwards some of the shit he can say so we'll spare you we'll spare you my question is if you are convicted as a former president and you want to run for reelection, is that make you eligible for reelection still? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah. I mean, that's insane. You could run for apparently, I mean, you could run for president from prison. You want it? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:06:01 You can't even get some jobs from, for having something on your record. I mean, it's not even, it's not even get into, I mean, that's so fucked up, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:09 like we have people that are in prison right now who don't, aren't even really formally charged with shit. Yeah. And that's the norm, but that's on the record forever. And they can't even get a job at like target, you know, like it's like,
Starting point is 00:06:20 that is so insane to me. Uh, but that's just that it is what it is right now. So anyway, it was you didn't miss anything unless you wanted to see people absolutely lose their minds at the sight of their Godhead leader, Donald Trump. Let's move on to some better news. Rihanna, Robin Fenty and Mr. As Soon As Possible Rocky. The baby's name hath been revealed. Because I didn't realize we didn't know the name.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Yeah, I didn't realize that either. Oh, yeah, it's Rihanna's baby or whatever, and Rocky's baby. And then when you read the article, it's like, this baby was born almost a year ago now. And we don't know his name. We only just now are going to know the name because allegedly the daily mail got a hold of this kid's birth certificate which is so fucking gross yeah not okay no one gives a fuck enough for you to know i didn't need to know enough for you to obtain a birth certificate no no no you know i mean we don't need to be doing any of that but
Starting point is 00:07:21 anyway we have found the name and fine let's let's perpetuate this sick culture of celebrity obsession just for a moment because for me as a hip-hop lover this name is out of this world the baby's name is RZA Athelstan Mayers RZA as in RZA from Wu-Tang Clan and it's capital it's like and it's done with the same way RZA spelled RZA from Wu-Tang Clan. And it's capital. And it's done with the same way RZA is spelled. R-Z-A, all caps. That's incredible. That's beautiful. I kind of love it.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Yeah. It's in line with the naming. Yeah. They're both powerhouse artists. Yeah. I get it. They looked beautiful at the Met. She posted that carousel of them.
Starting point is 00:08:05 And he was like, I fucking love you, baby, in the comments. And I was here for it. I was all about it. Drake was crying. Drake always crying. Not at the Met. No, he was at the Air Med store buying another five Birkin bags for a wife that will never appear. But yeah, RZA, Athelstan.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So Athelstan, I think it like, it's, it's a similar to Rocky's middle name. The thing is, and I've said this before, like Rocky's real name is Rakim because his mom is so into hip hop. Oh, wow. He's named after Eric, Eric B and Rakim. His sister's name is Erica after Eric B. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah. So this is like, I mean, it's very authentic to them, which I appreciate because like, I feel like a lot of celebrity names are just so fucking wild and out here for like no goddamn reason just to be like a headline in a story or just to be like out here they're whittling out here like I you know culture's a very cute kid I hate the name that's such a low-hanging fruit name like because at the time everyone's saying you know for the culture yeah i know culture with a k like all of fucking kylie jenner's kids names the two of them whatever stormy oh yeah and then wolf the other one was originally wolf and then they changed the name because they got so much backlash oh right wolf that i don't remember what the new name is
Starting point is 00:09:23 but whatever names are just wild but i appreciate this one i like that it actually has some like sentimental value because it feels like a lot of names don't that they're just like trying to be as on ostentatious as possible yeah just like like like we talked about and like how the tiktok baby name influencers out here like people just want to have like they're like I can't know anyone with this baby's name or else I won't name my child that. It's like, just do you. Like you're the parent.
Starting point is 00:09:48 This is what, this is part of being a parent. You get to name your child. And then if they don't fuck with it, they can always change that shit later. Finally, before we go to break, this is something I see trending, which really worries me for all of you who have healthy enough relationships
Starting point is 00:10:03 with your mothers. Mother's Day is coming up Sundayay but the thing that's trending is last minute mother's day gifts i get it we're busy and sometimes like for me when it's not like a fixed date when you're like oh may 14th is mother's day every year it's hard you lose track and it can sneak up on you but for all the people out there it's it's wild to like read these like articles or like, well, while it is too late for like customized gifts, there's always you can do X, Y and Z. in a very heteronormative society that men just like, do not think about women, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:46 in general, right? Like you as a son, as a husband cannot think about your, the mother in your life enough that you know her well enough to know what she likes. Cause as someone who considers myself a pretty good gift giver, it's like the gift should be personal to the relationship you have, but also to something that they actually want. Like you shouldn't have to look at a mother's day list and be like oh my god like well my mom
Starting point is 00:11:09 want this toaster like she needs like an engraved like mitten like it's like yeah i mean what is your mom like i know my mom listens to this show so i'm not gonna tell you what i got you mom but it's you're gonna like it there go. And I did get a customizable thing. You know what I mean? So because sometimes that is fun when you get something customized. But nothing like nothing ridiculous. And also, it's like easy to like my mom likes this one very specific shade of like blue green. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 So like if I see anything in that, you're like, it's a cop. I'm copping that immediately. And then I don't know. It's orange. So I love this little tea plate and i'm like i know i just saw that shit and i was like that's for you or you know it's it's it's very easy but i guess some people have more difficult parents to like and these are for the people i'm saying that have good relationships what they consider a good relationship with their mom obviously there are mothers out there who have you know torture their children and you know people with strange relationships and i feel for you and i really hope that you find some healing
Starting point is 00:12:08 on mother's day because i know i'm sure holidays like that are really really tough to come by every year um i know someone in my life you're like yeah sunday yeah well i know someone in my life that you know definitely has a torture relationship with their mom so it's it's hard like i know yeah holidays like this can be tough but for the men i'm really calling out the men for the men out here who love their moms but you don't know what to get them be better yeah do better come on love your mom and not like enough to know like what you can get her for yeah i guess more than flowers and a card and a candle do better no no no no, no. And like, come on, like you could even be cliche. Your mom,
Starting point is 00:12:46 like wine, you know, get that outdoor wine table. I see it like on Twitter all the time. It's like that wooden stake, like peg into the ground and hold two wine glasses in a bottle. Anyway. So yeah,
Starting point is 00:12:57 if you need any last minute ideas, hit me up on Twitter. My DMs are open. I will charge $50 per suggestion, but I have pretty great suggestions. I have pretty good suggestions. All you have to tell me is your, your mothers are open. I will charge $50 per suggestion, but I have pretty great suggestions. I have pretty good suggestions. All you have to tell me is your mother's favorite band, her favorite color, and her birth sign.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And then I got you. I don't know. I was like, those are three things that I feel like I could come up with a pretty good gift with those three things. Yeah, you're like, okay. So they like Leigh-Anne rhymes. They like the color purple.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Uh-huh. And they're an Aquarian. Okay, OK, so they like they like Leanne rhymes. They like the color purple. Uh huh. And they're an Aquarian. OK, yeah, let me. Oh, they're going to love this amethyst bracelet I just found anyway. But yeah, do right by your mothers again if you have that kind of relationship, because I know not everybody does. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:13:53 This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent, revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

I mean, she's still on leave. But yeah, it was so scary. It's like luckily that we had people in our community and just able to tell the signs that like, yeah, this is like more than just a migraine. Like you got, yeah. They say, I remember at first they, I remember because of, because it was like, you know, prevalent in my family. Like there's that thing called fast, right? Like you're,

Starting point is 00:19:57 you had to do the tattoo ones and you went yeah yeah yeah um and then I know somebody does like a, a rappel. Somebody, I knew somebody would wrap an apple with a fruit roll up and eat the apple. Oh, that's too much work. Okay. Well, this is. I don't be fucking with apples like that, I guess. So. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I mean, I'm like, really, I don't know. I'm like such a child. I'm like, I like my apples cut. Yeah. Same. And I don't like admitting that. Yeah. As a damn near 40 year old man i i like
Starting point is 00:20:29 to cut my apple i like to cut my apples i like little slices dip them in the little peanut butter yeah i also grew up like with my dad eating apples and just throwing the cores on the dash of his truck so like as a kid i just remember dude and these shits would dry out in the sun yeah and they smell nasty. And I remember my dad would like pull up somewhere nice. He'd be like, yo, get them apple cores off the fucking desk.
Starting point is 00:20:50 There's like 15 up here, man. What the fuck? Anyway, so fruit roll-ups is trending because TikTok has created yet another black market for things because one person, people were taking a scoop of ice cream and wrapping it in a fruit roll up and then putting it back in the freezer. So like, you know, the cold, just like just hard in the fruit roll up.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Kind of like mochi ice cream. Yeah. Roll up. And then people were taking bites and like, oh, shit, the fucking fruity flavor with the ice cream. But so and Americans, obviously, like a cream almost. Yeah. So and Americans, obviously, like a creeps almost. Yeah. And, you know, because we are an exceptional nation, we have easy access to fruit roll ups, but not, you know, mental health care or, you know, safety from gun violence. But we can get fruit roll ups, which has led to places like Israel who are like on tick.
Starting point is 00:21:38 There is a appetite for fruit roll-ups now. Americans are hauling fruit roll-ups illegally into Israel where they can get six dollars for one fucking roll-up. One roll-up is six dollars. I can't. That's like some school hustle. I know. Well, for real. The kid with the snacks at school and you're like, what do you want?
Starting point is 00:22:00 They're like, oh, your mom is in a cult and we'll let you have that. Yeah, I got something for you. Yeah, but you want Gushers too? Yeah, the Gushers are 15 though. The Washington Post is saying that not one, but two American couples tried to sneak hundreds of pounds of fucking fruit roll-ups. One couple tried to bring in 375 pounds. Which like how much fruit roll-ups is that? That's a lot, right? That's like how much for roll-ups is that that's a lot right that's
Starting point is 00:22:26 like thousands of roll-ups they say someone's doing quick maths on the takeout i believe it was like a half ounce per roll-up like it would be something like twelve thousand yeah roll-ups you had on you wow insane insane but i guess if you're charging six dollars times 12 000 that's a lot 72 grand right there thank you for man i can't do it hey i'm i'm all about i'm all about flipping numbers you know i'm i'm i have a hustler spirit as well as jay-z said but yeah i just it's just so interesting to me that like something is uninteresting and normal as a fruit roll is now fetching these because of tiktok i mean just shows you the power of like these trends man and people feeling like they get that fomo and they're like man can you like maybe ingest some like maybe tuck them you know some awesome some
Starting point is 00:23:17 yeah like come through with the fruit roll-ups please 375 and then apparently like the like immigration ministry or like the people customs ministry at the israeli airport said they've gotten over they've confiscated over 661 pounds of fruit roll-ups in one week that i'm blown that's insane that's whatever i mean when are we gonna when am i gonna pay exponentially over the over the market price or normal price for something because of a TikTok trend? I can't, I don't think I've paid too much money for a trend specifically, but I've been influenced by TikTok more than any other app in my life.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Like I really used to pride myself on not like succumbing to ads, especially someone coming from the advertising industry. I was like, yeah. And now I know how it's done. and i'm like oh no like i bought the one size patrick star um setting spray yep i want to buy the clear blush um that's going viral on tiktok like i'm like oh yeah the elf eyebrow pomade i got that like i i'm like if it's a makeup trend i've bought it like what's oh is that the one to give your, like, little, your eyebrows that little bit of. Yeah, it's supposed to, like, giving you the, like, feathered eyebrow look.
Starting point is 00:24:31 But I feel like all the makeup girlies, I'm like, I want to hear from a real makeup artist how the fuck they do it. Because I've tried everything. And I cannot get my eyebrows to stick up. I don't know if my eyebrows are too strong. They're too powerful. But I cannot get them. Like, I can get them when i first do them to look like that but the second it's been like 10 minutes they're falling like they've they're no longer feathered they're just like elisa keys they're falling wow so hey zeit gang uh with the with the wild eyebrow game please
Starting point is 00:25:02 hit us and i will pass the information along to how you get it i saw somebody the other day i thought they drew them shits in they were so like exact yeah but then i was like oh no you you're just you got whatever you got whatever you have to to get your i don't know those aren't edges but your eyebrows were laid i mean you do lay them like i got a little spatula thing and i'm like i'm literally like slicking them i've gotten to the point where i'm like okay i'm like trying different combinations i'm like do i put the i put the gel and then the anastasia beverly hills gel and then i like do the setting spray and then i'm like laying them i'm like which is it i started
Starting point is 00:25:39 using um eyelash glue in the front to see that's so much back you don't got none of it's working none of it's working could it be that your eyebrows are too thick because i feel like i do think it's better i think it looks better if you have less eyebrow because you can actually see the individual so in a way maybe you're unable to yeah they'll count your blessings you're like yo these brows too lit to be doing that i'm'm not getting, I'm not thinning them out because you know what? I had a manic moment in January and I bleached my eyebrows and I was like, tee hee. And then I, uh, Oh, miles.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I had a cover up. I was so scared. I bleached them. And then I was like, Oh my God, like I'm going to dye them like a, like a lighter red Brown, but I bought the wrong color. And then I ended up just like looking like my eyebrows. So I was like, okay, whatever. So I re-bleached them and then I tried to I used this overtone like red brown color
Starting point is 00:26:30 I had sat too long they were bright orange miles I have a picture I look so desperate like I'm in disbelief like what am I done like I had no idea I re-dyed them back to the brown and like they were fine but then my eyebrows started falling off oh shit it's taken two months for these bitches to grow back but they're here and they're back and i'm never fucking with them again yeah yeah in a way like it feels like is it like a comb over for eyebrows like because you're trying to make a little bit more than than is there and then it became a i don't know either way like people were dying their eyebrows on tiktok and i was kind of like what if i just tried it like i want to see like can i be a cool girl like an alt cool girl who has bleached eyebrows and i got too panicked
Starting point is 00:27:14 like i was like oh i need my eyebrows and so i colored them a color and then it just kept getting worse you know i love it i love it oh man right. And then finally, AI girlfriend is trending because I think this is an interesting story about someone who is trying to use AI for their own personal gain. And then the AI just kind of started doing its own thing. So apparently there's a Snapchat influencer, Karen Marjorie, who created a virtual version of herself that she wanted to basically have like an ai chat bot like a verbal chat bot girlfriend for you know because she's conning these like lonely followers she has um but like this voice-based ai powered chat bot unfortunately has started engaging in sexually explicit conversations with some of her prescriber some of her subscribers who pay they pay a dollar a minute that's the rate to chat with this AI bot.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And it's her voice. And like, they programmed it with all of like her videos and like other like voice files and things like that. And she just said that AI was not programmed to do this and has seemed to go rogue. My team and I are working around the clock to prevent this from happening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Cause apparently what they did was like, it's like Siri where the the siri's not going to come in on some so what's good with you oh you look like a snack siri will respond to you you know what i mean and so basically people started encouraging erotic discourse uh with this ai chat bot and it was getting a little bit learned yeah yeah yeah exactly it's like the movie her that's so crazy so right now she said if people are paying a dollar a minute for it she said a thousand people are already paying for this and she said of her like millions of subscribers followers on snapchat that 20 000 people have
Starting point is 00:28:58 signed up for this but only a thousand are paying right now. She's like, but if that goes up, she said she could be raking in $5 million a month. No. That's insane. I'm sorry, y'all. I'm doing the wrong, because she's not even the one making the, like she doesn't have to be the one selling her feet vibe. You know, like she literally just has her voice
Starting point is 00:29:20 and she doesn't have to do the work. That's work smarter, not harder. You're not even doing the harder even you're not even doing the work you're not even doing the work yeah so yeah not good but i think for her probably did not want it to get to the point where yeah i'm sure she didn't want her voice with it yeah to be saying fuck nasty shit to like weird men on the internet yeah yeah yeah they're trying to work on it though they're trying to work on like work though. They're trying to work on, like, work these little bugs out. But as she said, quote, in today's world, my generation, Gen Z, has found themselves to be experiencing huge side effects of isolation caused by the pandemic, resulting in many being too afraid and anxious to talk to somebody they're attracted to.
Starting point is 00:29:58 She said, care and AI is a step in the right direction to allow my fans and supporters to get to know a version of me that will be their closest friend in a safe and encrypted environment that sounds like really great marketing speech yeah miss me with the there's a loneliness but like if there are other ways to go about it than exploiting people's you know uh very very very big feelings around isolation but hey yeah get in where you fit in i guess if you're trying to make that money anyway look out for miles ai coming soon and it'll only be 25 cents a minute yeah you give them a discount exactly but it will be boring i will not do anything nasty it'll be an um actually bot all you say is i'm actually yeah. Anything you ask, the answer, the first words, actually, what do you think of my outfit? Yeah, it's like never actually responding to anything they say.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Yeah, yeah. Built sentences. It's just to undermine your feeling of confidence. It's pretty cynical. But that's why it's only 25 cents a minute. But anyway, be careful with that AI, y'all, because it can go rogue or rouge as i like to say by mispronouncing it and misspelling it anyway uh that's gonna do it for us remember y'all
Starting point is 00:31:11 no show tomorrow no main show tomorrow uh while jack is infirmed he may be back monday if not i will definitely be back monday we'll definitely be back tomorrow for trends please light a candle light some incense rub your crystals and send some healing energies to Mr. Jack O'Brien, please. Because he what did he say? And I don't want to put him out there like that. But he was texting this morning. So he was shivering. I've never seen him actually be so vulnerable in the chat like that.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Yeah. I was like, oh, Jack must be down bad if he'd be saying I'm shivering under the covers. Man, he's thugged it out for a couple of recordings over the years. Many recordings he's thugged it out. And I would argue he won't quit till like the very, very, very last moment. So for him to come up early in the a.m. on Pacific time to be like, I am unwell. I'm sending a call. My white flag is raised.
