That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
Can Kay trust her sister or is history repeating itself?
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams.

and I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray!
Whoa!
Of gray is the color of my energy.
Whoa!
Well, you can call me Mr. Miles of G.
Thank you to Hannah Soltis.

Thank you to at Soltis Hannah for that Amber 311 cover AK.
Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat.
It's the end of a long ban.
We are thrilled to have him back.
He is the co-host of one of my favorite podcasts,
The Flagrant Ones, on Patreon.
He is Mr. Carl Tart.
I'm back.
Clink, clink! Clink!
Bottle clink!
Most of your new listeners don't know who I am!
Oh, they do if they listen to podcasts.
Come on, Carl.
Oh, baby.
Don't be too modest now.
I've missed you fellas so much. I've missed you, man.
Carl, how have you been, man?
It's been a year and a half.
It's been a year and a half.
I've been good. You know, eating vegetables, trying to drink some water.
Oh.
What kind of vegetables?
You know, broccoli, steaming the broccoli, putting like three centimeters of water in
the big-ass pot and throwing the broccoli in there.
I like my broccoli soft, which means not nutritious.
Yeah.
Wait, is, oh, you're just cooking all the
nutrients out of it yeah cooking all the nutrients out of it but damn it's good i mean i mean because
that's like the first broccoli i was able to stomach was over a microwave frozen broccoli
yeah uh and sometimes i i love just mushy i like broccoli i like cheddar cheese with little
pieces of broccoli in it that's that's the type of broccoli that I prefer.
You're more in the cheese.
Yeah, you're in the cheese zone.
Is that like broccoli cheese soup when they make that?
Yeah, exactly.
I'll always be up for a bowl of broccoli cheese soup for some reason.
It's probably the worst decision you can make,
but there are times when I see it on a menu and I'm like,
I think I'm going to try it.
I got to get into broccoli cheese soup.
Broccoli cheese soup is something that I've never –
it's something about eating cheese with a spoon that has never quite meshed for me.
And I love nachos.
I love cheese sauce.
But for some reason, when it's like eating it with a spoon, it's like,
nah, give me a chip.
Yeah.
No, that's called dignity.
That's the thing that is preventing you from wanting to eat melted cheese with a spoon.
Because usually when I order it at Subway, they always say, oh, you're serious?
And I'm like, yes, actually, sorry.
From us?
You want that from us?
This one behind me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you wanted a foot-long tuna sub?
I'm like, yes.
They're like, okay.
Oh, Miles. I'm going to call. Okay. You might need an intervention, but they help me out. you wanted a foot long tuna sub i'm like yes all right like oh my i'm gonna call okay you might
need an intervention but you know they help me out carl you've also been eating a lot of fast food on
uh dough boys well another one of our uh favorite podcasts what what's the what's the best thing
you've eaten uh in your time as a as a guest onboys? With the Doughboys, the best thing I had,
well, I mean, Waffle House is my favorite restaurant in America.
And I did Waffle House with those cats.
I definitely had some, Culver's was good.
That was in Milwaukee.
I enjoyed that.
Detroit, I still got a bone to pick with Detroit
because I went and I put cheese on my Coney dog because I didn't grow up.
The only Coney's I had growing up was Sonic, and it's a chili cheese Coney.
And also, when I eat something with chili, I want cheese with it.
This is the cheese day.
Natural.
Cheese cast.
And when I put cheese on it, and the audience started to boo me when I said that.
I'm like, hey, man, all started to boo me when I said that.
I'm like, hey, man, all of y'all can kiss my cheesy ass.
Wait, so because you mentioned that you – so it's a violation to put cheese on a Coney?
Apparently so. When I've had Coney's Cincinnati-style chili, Skyline or Gold Star, cheese is on on there and it didn't seem like a transgression
but i guess it's all it's all regional regional that's it's probably them trying to separate
themselves from that but you know like how in in chicago they get mad at you if you put ketchup
on your hot dog yeah yeah exactly i'm gonna put ketchup on my hot dog i'm going to the south side
and telling everybody i ain't scared homie i'm from south central la uh all right carl we're gonna we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in a moment first we are going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about
uh we're gonna just remind you guys not to be fooled by the uh you know the the symbolic stuff
is cool the tearing the statues down is cool but there's still a bunch of bunch of work to do structural change uh to pursue uh we're going to talk about the economic outlook uh this this dude
at buzzfeed news just like wrote this piece that is i don't know if he's trying to terrify people
but uh is it's scary just like well not not like years in the future like a couple months like i think
he said august like our uh he said that the american economy is like a uh a jetliner that's
engines have flamed out and now we're just coasting and we will likely crash into the
side of the mountain is the metaphor that he used um we'll talk about q uh we'll talk about uh the
chappelle special we'll talk about uh the number two movie on netflix the number two piece of
content the number one movie on netflix a film called 365 dinny or deny uh 365 days uh it is
exactly our writer jm mcnabb said it looks like a horny bank commercial uh and that's pretty
accurate it's uh but it is it is wild yeah uh so we're gonna talk about all of that plenty more
but first carl we like to ask our
guest what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are i'm a bend
a m a b e and d y'all know what that is that is the first recorded adult film ever from like 1896
and here's the thing with that i'm not even i'm not a i'm not a pornto guy
uh i don't really watch the pornto but i'm like wow i was i was thinking to myself like what
when did you have a very powerful imagination when did yeah when did people first started
getting freaky on camera right and i looked it up and it was this film. And I'm like, that probably wasn't a good situation for the women involved.
I mean.
Yeah.
I can't imagine what the tactics were of the first pornography producer in the game.
So this is, what country was it shot in?
Germany.
You know it was Germany, baby.
You know how they get down.
Wait, what does the title mean?
Is it like, I don't know.
In the evening.
Something like that.
It translates to in the evening. Okay. Yeah. So that's is it like in the evening something like that translates to in
the evening okay yeah so that's what you do in the mid in 1910 uh 10 minutes long and uh hardcore
hardcore yeah that was the first that was the first hardcore one because before that it was
like women showing ankles and stuff like oh right right but this is wow yeah this this director was
like nah nah nah nah women got more than ankles baby he's like nah nah aim the camera down there real quick yeah that movie where the train comes at you was
actually considered pornography at the time because yeah it's just like come on well did
you watch the movie or you know you kind of look you can't find what the first you can't find it
no oh really it hasn't i feel like it's would save that for history. I know. You can find literally every piece of pornography on the internet.
Yeah.
Come on, Pornhub.
Well, not every.
There are people who are diligently trying to archive as many VHS, old porn VHS tapes
to try and have a digitized record.
Yeah.
Fortunately, posterity is not something that the community is thinking about
the the wikipedia page for this is uh is pretty wild like they just they do a plot description
like it has a plot synopsis section where it's just like you know depicting a man peeing through
a keyway into a woman's bedroom. The woman lies alone in a bed
and masturbates for some minutes.
Then the man enters the woman's bedroom,
undresses himself,
and the two partners engage in different sexual activities
in multiple positions.
And then they go into that.
He didn't have a pizza or anything to deliver?
He wasn't a maintenance guy?
Yeah.
The bar was so low back then.
I'm sorry.
The man peed through a Kiwi.
Strudel guy.
Yeah.
Not peed, which is how I misread that.
And I was like, damn, they got freaky right away.
He's like, I'm here to deliver the schnitzel,
and I'm on my worst behavior.
Damn. Wored behavior.
Versed behavior.
Motherfucker never loved us.
No.
Versed.
He know he know now.
What is something you think is underrated, Carl?
Putting jelly on breakfast sandwiches.
Here's the deal.
A lot of people like this,
but when you go to McDonald's and you get a a biscuit egg and cheese sausage egg and cheese biscuit you got to throw
that jelly on there and you got to drown it in jelly and people some I've said this before people
been like what boy you crazy and then they come back and they go what boy you're a genius and I
go first of all don't call me boy uh don't call me boy white lady
i uh but i hope you enjoy it and i i definitely you know jelly i don't think people i don't think
people talk about it enough i don't think people understand i know i know it might be a southern
thing but all mcdonald's got jelly and they got it for a reason it's for those breakfast sandwiches
i put jelly on my mcgriddle which people say you're gonna get your foot cut off eventually because
i mean a lot of sugar and i respect it do you do it because i've i i know people who like uh the
biscuit with jelly you ever do with a mcmuffin with cheese i'm gonna be real with you i don't
eat mcmuffins i don't something about the mcm the McMuffin it doesn't move me
I'm a biscuit or a McGriddle guy
however if I am forced to eat a McMuffin
if somebody brings me
food from McDonald's
because they've been in love with you from afar
and traps you in their home for 365 days
to fall in love
exactly and make me move to Sicily
I'm going to the Sicilian
McDonald's and I'm being like jelly
i mean yeah the the jelly thing i'm gonna have to try that because i always see it i'm just
i don't like sweet and savory but whenever i have it together i'm always like this is pretty good
yeah you ever like prosciutto you like prosciutto and cantaloupe stuff like yeah prosciutto and
melone oh Oh, yes.
Love it.
I will say this.
So that was when I was eating.
I lived in Amsterdam for a year.
When I was over there, I don't think they had biscuits.
So it was McMuffins over there.
Right. And I had to put my own jelly on it because they didn't have jelly at the McDonald's.
And they would always be like, what?
I'd be like, man, I hate this place.
And then I would go back to my house and put my own jelly on it.
There you go.
I hate this place.
Then I would go back to my house and put my own jelly on it.
There you go.
I just realized I was about to call you Italy-ophile
because there's Francophile, there's Anglophile,
but it's apparently
Italophilia
is the word for that.
Nobody ever uses that.
It's Italophile?
I'm an Italophile.
Italophile, yeah.
That sucks. They need a better one than that. It's a talophile. I'm an italophile. A talophile. Yeah. Oh, man.
That sucks.
They need a better one than that.
And there's nobody more ready to go support that economy when they reopen.
Carl, what is something you think is overrated?
Soreness after leg day at the gym.
What do you mean?
Overrated in what way?
Overrated.
Like, who wants to be sore that's stupid yeah
they'll be like oh man it's working i can't barely get out of bed i gotta go to the bathroom and pee
but i just fell by my bed because my legs are so sore what do you have to save an old woman from a
burning building and you just like ah i can't do it and they'll be like but you'll be in the gym
and i'll be like but i just yesterday was leg day yeah you just gotta drop her and watch
her burn are you have you have you been recently taking a more aggressive approach to your leg
muscle development well here's the deal so we've been out of the we've been out of working out for
i don't do home workouts i just can't do it i can't get motivated to work out in my house and
so i uh you know have been off for the past, you know, what, two and a half, three months.
And due to the events of the last few weeks, needed to release some steam and talk to I talked to my actual therapist.
But I also needed that gym therapy, which I train with this Marine who's a crazy guy, but I love him.
And he had a setup in his backyard that he's been trying to get me to come to for the whole quarantine i'm like no no i'm not i told you i'm not i'm not doing it but
i broke it last week and was just like all right man if everybody out here protesting and stuff
like that i guess i can go to my trainer's backyard and it actually was body strong yeah
it was like really nice and really soothing and i needed it i mean i definitely needed that
outlet but now legs is weak out here boy oh man i was shaking man i was shaking like a maraca in
a damn gym oh yeah everything i worked out core everything is gone from two months that's why
people be addicted to the gym yeah yeah i think it's funny because i had the opposite effect i
just hated gyms and i also
couldn't get motivated enough to work out at home but once i was just at home i was like i have to
i have to move like it just it just became like naturally my body i think was just like you have
to do something because your butt is shrinking from recording podcasts all day yeah yeah straight
up you ain't got no ass no more miles that's what i've been
meaning to say i was like you're sitting a little low i know a lot lower than normal i was gonna put
my booster seat up but i feel like anna and jack and dan would all call me out because they know
where my head usually sits in the frame right uh carl what is a myth what's something people
think is true you know to be false public transportation is good in this city in this
city is absolutely dog shit but people people try to say that it's good anywhere my the myth
that i have is that public transportation is bad everywhere everybody should have a car
for the earth controversial with the uh with the environmentalists but okay all right eventually
we'll get to a place where we all have uh electronic cars yeah let them be electronic
electric whatever you want them to be water powered solar powered but everybody needs a car
public transportation is terrible everywhere people go oh but new york the public transportation is
like no man if i have to risk getting robbed.
So, of course, I'm a West Coast guy.
The bus here sucks because it's sitting traffic just like everybody else does.
You're going to be late.
You got to leave four hours in advance to get somewhere 10 minutes late.
And so this is a car city.
It's better with cars here.
I hate getting on the train.
It's always some bullshit hate getting on the train it's always some
some bullshit going on on the train somebody somebody doing something that they shouldn't
be doing smoking meth hitting somebody with a bicycle like it's always something that shouldn't
be going on on a train and i'm just like i'm stuck underground in a city that has earthquakes
with this dude smoking meth and beating people up with a bicycle. I don't like this.
And the bus, of course, is terrible.
I grew up taking the bus here.
I had to take the bus until I was 23 years old when I was able to buy my own car.
My mom was like, I ain't got no money to buy you a car.
And so I plan on having 12 cars one day.
So if one breaks down.
A whole fleet.
Yeah, because I'll never, never get back on a damn bus.
I hate the bus so much i think
the thing too with like new york is i remember when we were when we were on tour for our show
we were like remember jack we were trying to make we had a we had to get to like i make another
train and at some point the train we were waiting for got delayed in true new york fashion we're
like uh-oh the train we were counting on to get us
there in time is now delayed and now all this stress of like would it be faster if we ran would
it be faster if we tried to hail a cab all that extra stress i was not feeling good about because
comparatively also being japanese in japan my fucking god i'm telling you carl take those
trains because they're never late they're on on time. They're more accurate in terms of staying on schedule than the sun rising and setting.
And in that way, I feel good on public transport like that.
I do wonder buses and also Uber, all the different things where you're sharing space with other people.
I wonder how those are going to bounce back.
Cause like,
I don't,
I don't feel good about like getting a lift right now.
Unfortunately,
it's about necessity though.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Like if you don't,
the train,
the subway,
the bus,
that is your only option.
So,
you know,
for a large,
a large group of people that is that that's just going to have to be how it
is.
But I think it's,
I think with LA though, we just have our our our systems could be so much better if we were able to
build through wealthier areas uh because those are like sort of the things that are holding up
connecting like truly downtown to the west side or the valley etc is like yeah because people in
beverly hills are like well if there's a subway station then working people will get off here
and then they will be in
my view and i don't like that i don't like to acknowledge that the world might be different
than my bubble yeah listen i ain't worried about getting no covid in old train station because
it's already disgusting enough something else is eating up that covid like pac-man
somehow like subway stations are like this safe place.
They're like, there's actually a more predatory virus
that just diminishes or demolishes all the molecules.
Unfortunately, it will devour your skin.
So you won't have skin by the end of it.
Oh, it's also a giant literal monster
that could also eat you whole too.
That's the problem.
All right, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back.
In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds,
Sword Quest.
This wasn't just a new game.
Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists.
But the prizes disappeared.
And what started as a video game promotion
became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture.
I just don't believe they exist.
That would be my reaction, shock and awe.
That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful.
I'm Jamie Loftus.
Join me this spring for The Legend of
Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll
follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the
industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app,

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.

And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day.
Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us.
Like our recent episode with Grammy award-winning rapper Eve on her new memoir and the moments that made her.
It became a theme in my life, the underdog syndrome of being questioned
of the, would they say this to a man? No, they would not. Like why? That was one of those moments
where you're just like, oh wow. It was a bit shocking, but it didn't take any steam away or
anything like that. If anything, it was more of the, okay, I'll show you. No worries. Listen to
The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
So first off, Miles, you have this section here titled,
Don't Be Fooled, There Is Still Work To Do.
Yeah.
And I think that's a good point to make.
I think there's been a lot of tremendous progress in the last couple weeks
in terms of seeing people get into the streets,
get in touch with their power and their ability to affect change by showing up.
And I think at the end of last week,
it was really cool to see things like, you know,
NASCAR saying they're done flying the stars in bars,
or if, you know,
watching statues of slavers go down across the world,
I think was really powerful.
And these are great symbolic moments,
but I want, you know,
as much as that feels good and we're reclaiming forts, like the names of our forts, so they're not named after Confederate traders and things like that.
I think it's important to realize that like the purpose of everything that we're doing
and what we're drawing our attention to is that we actually have to pursue deep structural
change. our attention to is that we actually have to pursue deep structural change um and while these
are good like visual things that help us stay engaged like we also have to keep our eye on the
prize because la the the budget is not final in la that's just right that's that's just been one
thing we have not actually see how that will play out in terms of how much less funding the police
will receive because right normally they get i think last year was 1.86 billion, and they're asking for three this year. So $150 million isn't that significant when we're
talking about all the other services that are going by the wayside because of these lopsided
budgets. So I know it looks like there's all kinds of things happening, and there are, but we also
need to be really, really aware that this was all set off because people really hadn't began to understand what black folks have been talking
about in terms of systemic oppression in this country over policing and white supremacy and
i think if we're gonna have a reckoning let's make sure we up we're always keeping our eye on that
yeah the the fact that like i i think we need to get more involved like at a local level i feel like
culturally um you know because everybody's connected by social media now everybody's like
kind of focused on the same pop culture like people in the midwest who are hipsters look like
people who are hipsters in brooklyn like everything's like this one big massive culture that I don't think we... I think we've
kind of abandoned the local a little bit. And I think the fact that it was the city council
that voted to dissolve the Minneapolis Police Department over the objection and had a veto-proof
majority, that was kind of eye-opening to me. The city council is not something that I
was paying that much attention to in my neighborhood. I was paying attention to it
when I knew somebody who was involved with a race or something. But it's the local,
the things that you can do to involve a as a citizen in your community are you know that's
that's where we're gonna have to like continue to push and continue to you know fight for change it
seems like all right well let's talk about the economic outlook uh and why and why it's bleak
you just you wrote lava and mushroom clouds as a description.
Is that the name of the article,
or that was your description of what...
That was my description of the visual this guy has given us.
Yeah, I mean, he's basically...
I mean, he used...
I don't know which one's more dramatic,
because he used the jetliner that engines have flamed out
that's coasting and is about to crash into the side of a
mountain in august as the metaphor which is pretty dramatic also but you know he talks about how our
day-to-day economic lives are being propped up by like emergency legislation the um twelve thousand legislation, the $1,200 checks, the eviction freezes, the increased unemployment benefits,
but he points out that shit's all scheduled to expire in July and August. And none of those
things are, as of right now now going to be replaced unless the Republicans
have a complete and total like change of, I wrote change of heart, but it seems like
it would be more like change of humans.
Like all the, all the humans become different humans, uh, who, who are in the Republican
party.
Cause like, it just seems like it's counter to everything
that they care about.
You said humans.
They're not human.
Yeah, the Democrats tried to pass a comprehensive aid package,
and it was just considered DOA by the Republican Senate.
The freeze on student loans is set to expire in the fall.
We're getting by on food banks and stimulus checks that are about to run out
and it's gonna run out as we're like closing in on an election that was already probably going to
be apocalyptic without any of this stuff uh just because of who the president is and who his
supporters are uh and you know the open is he's courting foreign interference.
And I don't know,
it's just that people have talked about how all these different things are a
perfect storm.
But I mean,
it seems like we might be headed for a bigger one coming up.
I mean,
this is the thing.
Like the Republicans use that jobs report last week. That was completely like, they're like, no, that wasn't accurate. They're like, oh, we're actually, we're doing better now. That wasn't the case. And you could tell that was all they needed because they just needed the logical argument to then be like, well, if the economy is improving, I don't think we need to talk about another round of financial aid aid for for america considering what we're looking at and you know the stock market it's it's really it's dark because you also have people who have
not really been in touch with what it's like to be a working class person to work minimum wage to
live check to check deciding on their behalf what's best um without any idea of what the stressors actually are uh and then you get this
shitty legislation where but this is kind of like the whole thing right it the the government fails
to actually support people so then it's the secondary like private citizens are basically
having to support each other by donating to food banks or charities and things like that and that's
taking up a lot of the slack when i mean yeah like he
says it's i think you know we've been coasting for a while uh when you just look at how the
disparities between like you know ceo and worker pay has been gone up like this doesn't end with
somehow working people discovering more money at the bottom of their you know beds or something
that's that's not how it works they've they've they're hoarding all the wealth so yeah i think what this is also saying is like we're reaching an end game point uh with
all this wealth being siphoned up at the top with nothing left for the masses and now there's quite
quite literally like you're saying we're like running on fumes where people need food banks now
and we're also saying man man, no stimulus checks,
no help anymore.
Let's see how it pans out.
But I don't know
what their response is going to be.
They're just going to be
mass evictions
and then trigger a second
like diabolical housing crisis
where not even any,
like, I guess that's what happens.
And then rich,
like the wealthier people
come up and buy all the homes
that have been foreclosed on
and then create some new way
to rent it out to people
who are struggling.
Yeah.
Time to get guns.
Really?
Everybody.
Especially my black brothers.
Get just straps.
Good.
Legally.
Yeah.
I don't see...
I think people are underestimating
how much of a crisis we're headed for
and how easily it could devolve into something
more violent than we've ever seen before
in the history of our country.
Maybe not in the history of our country,
but in the modern history of our country.
The Q thing scares the shit out of our country yeah the the q thing scares the
shit out of me like i'm seeing people there's a uh a doctor friend kind of former friend uh who i
haven't really spoken to in 10 years but she's a black woman she's a surgeon uh she's like very
smart and like in my memory one of the sweetest human beings like i've ever met and she's like very smart and like in my memory one of the sweetest human beings like i've ever
met and she's like begun dog whistling q shit on on social media she like thinks all coronavirus
stuff and black lives matter protests are part of a conspiracy to take support away from trump
she's like talking about george soros uh she's talking about like pedophiles and like combating pedophiles and
killing pedophiles.
Like there,
she's a doctor.
Like that's.
Yeah.
So is Ben Carson though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so am I.
That's right.
So what's your point?
What's your point?
What are you trying to say about doctors?
So,
so was that,
so was that Ohio doctor who was like,
isn't it possible that coronavirus is disproportionately impacting
black people because colored people don't wash their hands as well?
That dude was an emergency doctor.
Did you see him?
No, I didn't see him.
I saw that headline, but I was like, I don't know.
This seems par for the course for America, especially right now.
I mean, but this cute thing is really, it's interesting because it's almost like there are,
these are just ways of dealing with your oppression or your perceived oppression
or perceived feeling that things aren't right.
Right.
And so for most people, I think people who have lived actually in America
and have seen the destructive force of systemic oppression and capitalism and how that works, you go, oh, I think I know why it's like this.
Because I'm looking, I'm experiencing it every day.
it's easier to create these things like plandemic,
that the 5G towers went up.
Because if you think about every subsequent radio technology that's come out, whether that's UHF and the Spanish flu
or 3G or like regular cellular phones
and the advent of ADHD,
like this logic path that they follow is like very,
it's a lot of it just to explain that they're like,
why they are lacking. Because it's a lot of it just to explain that they're like why
they are lacking because i see a lot of i see a lot of people commenting on like all kinds of
social media posts where people are talking about you know like actual black lives matters issues
uh and they come in and you see like these george soros things come in and when you click
everyone's like planned to hashtag plandemic i'm out of work because of plandemic uh thanks george
soros plandemics working uh my job's gone so i also see a lot of white people using this to
explain what's happening like i feel like maybe it's increased because i see a lot of connection
between plandemic and people's unemployment now like being brought pumped out of people's social
media accounts who are like following this conspiracy theory is this what's going on with ice cube right now
no he's more on like just like hotep memes and you know okay like that because q anon like that
whole conspiracy about q and this there's a cabal of pedophiles that run the world and donald trump
is is combating them and also these pedophiles are part of what they call the deep state,
which is really pulling the strings.
And Donald Trump is the only one fighting them.
That's why everyone's against him when really he's trying to awaken the world
to the truth about the evil pedophiles and human trafficking and 5G
and like who's actually running the world, the Jews.
You know, like it's all just really dark, dark shit.
It doesn't explain much unless you have a lot of time
to connect the dots in your own mind
and follow other conspiracy theorists on YouTube.
Well, it looks like I got some YouTube homework.
Don't, don't.
Bring me back next week, because I'm going to have a lot to say.
He's like, where we go one we go all
but i think to your point like the you know ice cube there there was a rise in exorcisms last
year like people are like this is how people are dealing with reality like you said miles and like
the the q thing is one just kind of giant sandbox of like kind of pseudo facts to like kind of bury your head in.
But I think there's a lot of people doing that.
Right.
Because reality as it currently is constituted is fucking hard to deal with.
Yeah.
It's funny.
yeah it's funny when you read these like you know i sent you when you were first writing this up about how you knew someone with q i i sent you one of their like vision boards uh which it's like i
think what's called like a deep state map uh that most followers of q look at which helps people
make sense of everything when you look at it it is so visually chaotic that it makes no sense
oh not at all what's funny though too is absent are the terms capitalism or white supremacy.
Right.
Exactly.
And I think those are things that this offers people a way to make sense of the world without
actually maybe looking at those things.
But it's a great way to explain it away.
Yeah.
mm-hmm but it's also a great way to explain it away yeah there's like you know silicon valley darpa covid 5g then they also have like satellites just satellites as a concept polio vaccine baby
boomers yeah it's one just says mail-in ballots like okay uh-huh um anyways people should check it out there's a lot to learn in this uh in this
spreadsheet but like that's i i wonder if there's a thing where too much information you can like
kind of make yourself less efficient or dumber with too much information as we have as a species
since the invention of the internet like this whole like spreadsheet makes it clear to me at least one of the reasons
that the whole q thing is is so popular is because you like you it would take you decades to like
work your way through like all the all the bullshit that's on on this page somebody typed
that up can you believe that a living breathing human invented that somebody who was born just like you and i who
has a respiratory system and who eats food a brain and a brain type that up and there are people who
believe it and man we are going down that i and you know what i this is a it's not a hot take but
i'm assuming we can all agree. I think Twitter should be eliminated.
Oh, yeah.
Twitter should be.
I think it's the worst thing ever.
And I know people are going to be like, well, some good things.
Missing people were found.
I don't care.
It's poison.
It is poison.
Or they need to seriously just use it to communicate rather than if you're going to just spread this kind of nonsense.
Because that's really, I mean, it's so easy to go down one of these rabbit holes.
But when I look at this diagram of the deep state, it just looks like bad improv.
You know what I mean?
And I feel like comedians...
Don't disrespect improv like that.
No, no, no.
I said bad, not masterful improv from the gods such as yourself carl but i mean like in the sense where any good
improviser if i say carl do a scene real quick where you connect 5g to uh obama's left shoe
you know like that's the kind of things they're connecting but it's just the loosest shit they
use to connect those dots i think anybody with a like a certain confirmation bias i mean damn you can make any of this true if as
long as you're so against maybe looking at what's happening in the world and see that for what it is
maybe it's just easier to look at this well think about it miles see we did not see 5g until obama
came into office but here was the deal that day he came into office he his car was broken down
and so he had to get on public transportation, but it was in New York.
It was really late at night.
He was wearing a disguise because he was Barack Obama.
He chose to put that prototype 5G phone in his left sock, which the sock was bad.
The phone slipped down to his left shoe.
You got to think, brother.
You got to think.
I'm sorry.
See, preach, man.
This is why we have you on to teach to teach these listeners you know what's really going on but i think but when you
watch some of these videos i mean it's it's it's rough man and again the idea that the thing that
really catches me about all this is when you see a lot of these q supporters confront black lives
matters protesters and just say you're here because because of George Soros. Like, right. Which means that it's easier for this person to believe that some boogeyman is causing
people to, you know, fight racism than the idea that racism could be so repugnant to
a lot of people that they just got out in the streets.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think you're seeing that on the other side with with people trying to blame Trump
for everything.
Like, I mean, Trump's obviously a terrible leader, and we wouldn't be in a lot of this mess if, like, we didn't have the worst leader in the history of the country.
But he's also not, like, none of this shit started with him.
No, no, no.
And there's so, I mean, the bottom line is you have to throw every president on the fire.
Nobody's safe.
But that's just part and parcel of what it means to be president of the United States,
because this country's a racket.
So already, you're a mob boss by default.
So you're not going to really be able to do anything with your hands clean.
Except Nixon.
We like Nixon.
We're a pro-Nixon podcast, everybody.
How's that back tack coming?
Who played the piano?
Nixon played the piano.
Did he play it well?
Yeah, he was getting it in.
By the way, Carl, I didn't know you were
such a good singer.
On the flagrant ones, you guys do
musical parody
songs and all really hits those notes oh thanks man impressive shit that came out of we did the
first episode and we didn't have any type of theme song or anything like that and so i was just like
all right i'm just about to make up a song uh and i just kept doing it every episode yeah yeah
there there are some songs that i've like've rediscovered because you guys parodied them.
And I was like, damn, that song is really good.
Come on, man.
All right.
Let's take a quick break.
And we'll be back to talk about the number one movie on Netflix.
Where are we going?
In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds.
Sword Quest.
This wasn't just a new game.
Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists.
But the prizes disappeared.
And what started as a video game promotion
became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture.
I just don't believe they exist.
My reaction, shock and awe.
That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful.
I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes.
We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across
four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way.

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.

Substance use disorder and addiction
is so isolating.
And so, as a Black woman in recovery, hope must be loud.
It grows louder when you ask for help and you're vulnerable.
It is the thread that lets you know that no matter what happens, you will be okay.
When we learn the power of hope, recovery is possible.

Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce.
I'm Danielle Robay.
And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day.
Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like our
recent episode with Grammy award-winning rapper Eve on her new memoir and the moments that made
her. It became a theme in my life, the underdog syndrome of being questioned, of the, would they
say this to a man? No, they would not. Like, why? That was one of those moments where you're just
like, oh, wow. It was a bit
shocking, but it didn't take any steam away or anything like that. If anything, it was more of
the, okay, I'll show you. No worries. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
and we're back and we all watched at least some of uh 365 days uh which is the number one movie on netflix uh real quick before we get to that did you guys watch uh the chapelle special that dropped i think at the end of last week i saw
the first 15 minutes of it um uh i watched it and it was it was great i watched it last night
i've never seen him that passionate i've never seen him that like man he's just i wanted to
include him in my underrated because I
feel like there's still a contingency of people who don't consider him the goat
and I know goat conversations are redundant and comedy is subjective and
but yeah that guy is is at least of like of the past 30 years.
I give him the crown.
If you want to give Eddie the crown,
Raw came out in 1987.
That's 33 years.
I'm rocking with Chappelle over the go to the past 33 years.
And that's with Chris and other people.
100%.
And I'm giving him my crown of all.
I think he's the best one.
I think with Evolution, because I am a big believer in Evolution,
and George Soros.
And LeBron's my guy.
LeBron's my goat.
You were loving that moment when he was giving LeBron his roses.
Yeah.
Man, I was on the couch crying.
Crying and jacking off at the same time yeah there's there's something about dave chapelle you know like he has you know a lot of people choose to focus on things that he says that
are controversial uh but there's a lot like he says in his special it's like he's been speaking about this for a long time
and i think the beauty of his work is that it's almost like his shows and stuff had just laid
the groundwork for people to wake up because people are familiar with the humor of like sort
of nihilistic attitudes black people have in terms of existing in this country or the nihilism we
feel about racism and when that ends that it's always become a way to just make jokes that make some people
uncomfortable other people really laugh um and then to watch him sort of really he's just becoming
such a like a i don't know the the way he was talking about everything uh that was just going
beyond his ability to be a comedian i think
it was just impressive just i think seeing a lot of people evolve in that way is kind of interesting
right now he's just such a smart dude man like like i wish i had the brain capacity that he does
over the quarantine i used him as an example because i watched his uh uh kennedy center honors
was that what that was or like And just talking about how much he reads
and stuff like that.
So I was like, you know what?
I'm going to start reading.
I'm going to start reading some of these books
that he talks about and stuff like that.
And I'm still dumb as hell.
And it was just like...
But he's such a smart dude.
And the way...
The way he does stand-up comedy,
I feel like the way it is supposed to be.
Where you take something
and you have a take on it
that makes everybody think.
And, like, he's just hands down, man.
He's the GOAT.
He's the living legend, man.
And him going on that rant about LeBron,
like, I was just like, oh, my gosh.
This is my world's colliding.
You're getting it tatted now, that C logo?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah gets he gets on the bank
i always talk about that though the fact that lebron at 17 was on the cover of si the fact
that i always bring up is that he nike and adidas had uh billboards in his hometown
that were aimed only at him they were trying to recruit him like
imagine having advertisements where like like growing up in the truman show except bigger
because like everybody is openly like creating the world around your your reality and then he
became the best player of all time it's like what the how does anybody do that and how and then he became the best player of all time it's like what the how does anybody do that and
how and then people like hated on him for so long they still do yeah they do it took him to come to
the lakers for me to fully open up which i i still i can't stand y'all dog i cannot stand y'all
asses bro y'all we're spoiled we're spoiled shitty people i'm sorry that's what laker fans are
we're spoiled shitty shitty people but not even the sense of not like about lebron before i didn't
i didn't i didn't dislike him i was just more like i was like this man is the best player in
the league but there just wasn't i i something didn't resonate with me aside from objectively
being able to be like, this
guy's just phenomenal basketball players.
Like no way to doubt that I was never in doubt about that.
I was just, you know, it's just your own bullshit as a fan where you're like, nah, like the
greats are like, you know, I'm a nineties kid.
So for a long, for a long time, I held on to Jordan.
Uh, and it took me a while where I was like, man, fuck Kobe.
And as, even as a Laker fan, I was just more loyal to Jordan uh and it took me a while where I was like man fuck Kobe and as even as a Laker fan I was just more loyal to Jordan uh even though and I didn't like Kobe when he first started
because he didn't pass the ball and I was like you're fucking our whole team up get the fuck
learn something uh and then he he ended up doing his thing but I don't know I think it's just a
weird thing too where sometimes you're so blinded by this like one-dimensional shit that like I
can't you know and I felt bad that I bad that it took that for me to say,
I really, really fuck with LeBron James
versus just being ambivalent.
That's one thing about him that I figured out.
He wants that.
He needs that.
He needs to be liked by everybody.
And he came to the fan base that hated him the most,
which pissed me off royally
because I was happy to have him in LA.
But I'm just like, bro, you could have carved out.
Imagine the legacy that you could have had if you won a championship with the Clippers.
You're still in your city.
You're still doing what you want to do.
What are you chasing?
Why did you have to come to the Lakers?
What legacy are you chasing coming to the Lakers?
And it's like, oh, it's the name.
No, man, forget all that.
And this is dumb, but, you know, listen, Jack wants to move on.
He's looking at me like, wrap it up.
Wrap it up, B.
No, no, I'm not done.
Chappelle's show.
That's not what I'm saying.
No, but seriously, I was like, imagine LeBron coming to the Los Angeles Clippers
and winning us a championship.
And I'm saying that biasly as a Clipper fan, but also as just an NBA fan.
It would be extremely impressive.
He would have won two lowly franchises of championships,
winning Cleveland one and winning the Clippers one.
And he had to come to the Lakers like,
are you trying to one-up Kobe?
Are you trying to be called Magic 2.0?
You're always going to be in a shadow doing0? You're always going to be in a shadow
doing that. You're always going to be in a shadow.
And I think that's why, initially,
for Laker fans, it's like,
this team's
for people who are going to be down
for a few years.
You don't put me away about
watching him
this season, and then they
in the quarantine were playing a bunch of classic games, and then they, in the quarantine,
were playing a bunch of classic games.
I was watching his second title with the Heat.
He's so much better now than he was
at what should have been his physical prime.
All the shit he adds to his game is truly, truly incredible.
He's just literally a genius yeah speaking of geniuses
let's talk about 365 days um so uh like i said i was curious about this movie uh because it was
number two it was the number one movie number one piece of content was like 13 Reasons Why.
But it's...
So it's a Polish movie.
And I guess people are just really horny
because they're in quarantine
and they miss human touch.
I also think it started getting...
Picking up a little viral attention
because people would accidentally turn it on
in front of their parents.
Yeah.
So that was something that went viral.
But the movie itself is wild.
It's trash.
Yeah.
I thought I was on,
I'm in airplane mode where everything is good.
I couldn't get through this.
Like it started to repeat itself.
Speaking of airplane mode, there's a lot of really aggressive sex scenes on airplanes.
But the, I felt like I was watching something that was like in code that was like dog whistling
to somebody who's not me because there was like
all this all this stuff about bondage but then like you know just even the the last line of the
movie is like her friend being like you're in a cage like they just really wanted her to be like
locked in somewhere yeah it was just very like they were driving at something that was really i don't know
and i think it must be the same thing as 50 shades because i know that i didn't see 50 shades but it
i know that has like people being locked up this has like a lot of similar stuff with uh people
being like tied up and shit but um there's a lot of head in that movie in 50 yeah or no in this movie 365 denise a lot of
lot of fellatio going on the funniest moment the funniest moment in the movie is he has the girl
he's trying to seduce tied up in bed and he goes i'm gonna show you what you're missing
and then he just sits down and a woman comes in and gives him a blow job like like this could
be you girl you're so i don't know who the the okay i think it's popular because it has like
sharknado vibes where it's so all over the place you're like this thing is absurd that you have to
see it uh because the cycle of like fighting and fucking like it gets boring uh but
then like the person who i'm really curious about who wrote this because it comes from the perspective
it's so fucked like there's there's no such thing as consent there's no such thing as like uh
understanding what the power dynamics between these people if you haven't watched it it's about
a mobster who like saw a woman
through binoculars the day his father gets like assassinated who's like the mob boss
and he's so obsessed with her he like endeavors to capture her to make her fall in love with him
uh and like steals her away on a trip and then shows by drugging her yeah by drugging her then
when she comes to shows him shows her images of her current boyfriend having an affair.
And he's like, you see, so you don't want to be with him.
My goons already took the shit from your hotel, left a note, and you live with me now.
And she's like, what?
And he's like, yeah, and I'll give you one year to fall in love with me.
And that's how we're starting.
So I'm like, what the fuck is this?
Well, Miles, congratulations.
You got the writer sitting right in front of you.
If you guys got any questions, I will answer them all.
So the movie is titled 365DNI, which stands for Do Not Resuscitate.
Resuscitate.
That is a thing.
yeah it's that is a that is a thing dni is do not intubate and it's basically the like a version of do not resuscitate in the medical community so it's uh it is a very morbid
uh thing that that you put in your title uh carl as the writer of the movie yeah and it wasn't just
a polish word for days no no no no so yeah as the writer i have to ask you the male protagonist keeps uh
massimo keeps sneaking up behind the girl and going are you lost baby girl yes and uh and then
he disappears like uh date rape batman at one point but like that that is like the recurring thing did you think that that was like a
a cool line uh i did and now his his original name was keith
and they the network wanted to change it to massimo you know a little more accurate for
a sicilian mob yeah yeah i was like his name's keith. Yeah. Oh, cool, Keith. How about that?
Yeah.
And when I thought of the line, are you lost, baby girl?
I wanted to show him being patronizing and also loving.
Because who do you love more than a baby girl?
Yeah.
Yeah, or baby deer or anything like that.
You know, it was originally,
are you lost, baby deer?
But the network, you know.
And I would say my favorite scene that I wrote
was the initial plane blowjob scene
where he's...
Yeah, had everyone talking.
The pressure,
because a plane gets pressurized when it takes off,
and the pressure turns his penis into a rubber uh kind of phallic and you call glimpses of it and uh yeah and that
to me that was the end of the movie right there that was the end but that's what i got there they
wanted me to add uh 90 more pages yeah i was like what i'm a genius uh they're like carl these
scripts are just guys getting head on airplanes.
The last five movies you just submitted to us.
And they end at page 15.
And I go, have you ever gotten head on an airplane?
They go, well, no.
And I go, but you'd like to, wouldn't you?
Me either, but I got to know what it's like.
The whole thing, too, is the other things, aesthetic things that really kind of just made me laugh,
aside from how problematic and just
gross the whole setup is for the relationship the music is all like this european royalty-free
covers where it's clearly european people singing in english where they're like
treat me like your boo treat gonna take you out because i love you and you're like it was exactly like that always and i was
like bro i can't like in a way i'm like laughing but also then the the dialogue was written like
motherfucking like if when you watch cut scenes in video games and it's like like a japanese game
being translated into english and you see a cutscene like it's all off like the nuance of
the language is all there's one moment where she's like and what the fuck you're gonna you're
gonna do are me to you no and he's like i do anything don't be disobedient and you're like
what are they even saying to each other right i can explain
what the fuck are you gonna do like me to you?
Meaning, are you not looking within when we...
Are you not understanding what you are putting me through?
Imagine if this was done to you.
And then he says, I don't have time to look within.
We have an assignment.
Please don't be disobedient.
And then the song
cuts in do your love making love do your love making love treat treat boo i want to kiss you
carl were you writing this just as you had like a mix on shuffle and you just like wrote to the songs that came in yeah so i listen there's a spotify playlist uh called uh
bullshit and uh i listened to that and just i got inspired eurovision i gotta this soundtrack i'm
just i gotta find this soundtrack because there are some just gems on there like make no lyrical
sense at all uh yeah i Yeah, I kept the subtitles on
because I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
And the songs have titles and the artist's name next to it.
Yeah, I did the same thing.
Yeah.
It would be like, now, what was the one that got me?
It said, You by Alex Condliff and Lamb Hands.
And I'm like, what the fuck is Lamb Hands?
And the song was so down tempo.
I was like, oh, is Lamb Hands like a dubstep DJ or some shit?
And maybe it just means because the piano was so fucking gentle,
that's what they meant by Lamb Hands.
I don't know.
But it's the other ones, Watch Me Burn, Kiss Me by Malo.
Please, if anything, just check out some of the soundtrack because the lyrics are, they're awesome.
And like the accents really made me laugh in terms of the musical choices.
I'll tell you how Lamb Hands got his name.
We were at a barbecue.
It was a fancy barbecue.
A bunch of lamb shanks on the table.
He picked one up.
He picked one up and he ate it. picked one up, and he ate it.
He was like, man, this is a good-ass lamb.
And he kept picking them up.
This is a good-ass lamb.
And then it was like, we have to get out of here.
Our car is waiting for us.
And he had all this lamb in his hands.
And we were like, lamb hands.
Huh.
And the rest is history.
The rest is history.
And that's how he got on the soundtrack for 365 denise what how does it end
because i once they once like the yacht fuck montages like didn't end it's wild too because
this film also just has like three minute sex scenes that will make you yawn like i think they're
they're only hot for americans because so many amer Americans are so puritanical and buttoned up that the idea that a woman using a vibrator is like, ah!
And they're like, my parents are watching people kiss, and you kind of see the base of a guy's shaft.
Like, that's all I feel like people are talking about is just responding to that.
If you're trying to get freaky on Netflix, check out the movie Love.
I believe it's yes or something like that
first yeah out the gate it's that shit is wild i think it's i think it's one of those movies where
they actually are actually having sex like the two people yeah like it's actual pornography
on netflix yeah yeah this i mean this felt like cinemax uh and the dude from that is dating, what's Lenny Kravitz's daughter's?
Zoe Kravitz?
Yeah, Zoe Kravitz.
The dude from that is dating Zoe Kravitz.
The dude from Love?
Oh, okay.
I was like, Massimo from 365 Denis?
Keith?
This movie actually came out in theaters, right?
And it was one of those things that shifted.
In Poland and the UK.
Yeah.
Right.
Oh, wow. theaters right and it was one of those like in the uk yeah right oh wow so this yeah this is uh this is just the first film in a trilogy actually uh that is going to be yeah so it's it's based on
a novel the director is the author of the novel uh and yeah this is going to be a trilogy uh
probably with like a prequel trilogy as well like lord of the
rings star wars style because you can't just leave these movies where they are but um sorry
so you made it to the yacht fuck montage yes okay there's an old man on the boat when that starts. Yeah, that's true.
Is he just, like, hiding?
Or are they, like, is he there just watching it?
Because that whole scene. They fuck in every corner of the boat.
Like, yeah, even in the engine room.
And, like, the fucking, it's like, what?
So the thing is, that whole scene is so weird because prior to that,
he's basically slut-shaming her slash blaming her for a
man trying to rape her because of how she dressed and then things go on blah dot dot dot suddenly
they're fucking all over the boat and all their like whole mob entourage is gone i don't know i
guess this is who is the author a man a woman do we know i think it's a woman right yeah i believe it's a woman yeah
which is my stage name
well congratulations your favorite street fighter character and you asked you asked how the movie
ends miles uh the movie ends with one plane flying into another plane that's kind of mouth shaped and just kind of it has to reverse
and then it has to go back and forth
keeps going back and forth
those fallacies were wild
like wild
there's gagging noises
on a movie
there's tears
I get it
if you need something to activate your libido,
I guess this is it.
It's just weird what they choose.
Like, some of it is softcore porn-ish,
and some of it has the details of really aggressive,
violent, hardcore porn.
Anyways, the movie ends with what we think is
the woman character's death
but it turns out it's not
according to summaries of the
second novel
that shit ends with you thinking though
that character Laura dies
the ending is
so
it's worth sticking through the ending
if you watched
you can fast forward I was fast forwarding through the ending if you watched. Okay. You can fast forward.
I was fast forwarding through the sex scenes
and just to see what happened.
Yeah, making you nervous.
And also because I was watching it by myself on my phone
and I just felt weird.
My wife was going to catch me.
But yeah, it ends with just the old man gets a call on his cell phone.
Spoilers guys.
Um, the old man who, who was like, they're hiding on the boat while they had their yacht
fuck montage.
He gets a call and they're like, they're going to kill Anna or Laura or whichever one she
is Laura.
And then he's like, what?
But it seems like he might've ordered it and then he runs over
then we see her car drive into a tunnel and it doesn't come out the other side and then the guy
he just like it's really strange like the guy automatically assumes she's dead uh massimo does
because the guy just shows up and is like doesn't say any i don't know man
all right i guess it's very very confusing i don't know even as i mentioned like i guess
i have to watch it i'm just like i don't fucking know it's so boring yeah it's very boring yeah
even with all the gratuitous sex like that should have propped it up to make somebody sick. I'm like,
even the sex scene is retired.
I wanted to make those boring because I wanted to
make people realize
love is not about passion.
Love is about
how mundane love can be.
Getting hit on the plane.
Yeah, you thought
it was cool.
Oh my god.
I guess we'll have to fucking this fucking trilogy wow wow wow okay carl it's been a pleasure having you on to uh talk about your film
365 days uh where can people find you and follow you you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at dammitcarl, D-A-M-M-I-T-C-A-R-L.
And listen to the Flagrant Ones, which is on Patreon.
After all this economy talk, how about spending an extra $5 a month on a podcast loosely based on basketball, which is not being played right now?
It's worth it.
Maybe.
We don't know.
Yeah.
We will see.
It's really strange because there's definitely players who have come out
and said that they don't know how they feel about it.
But then there's,
I think like LeBron is like pushing for them to complete the season because
he knows they have a good shot at winning the title.
But like,
I don't know.
Like I know damian
lillard was like i don't fucking want to play i'm not gonna win the title i'm like i'm gonna risk my
life well kairi was saying that the optics of of these black men being forced to entertain during
a pandemic that is killing mostly black people just doesn't look good and you know me and kairi
think on a higher plane we we're right we. We're on a different wavelength than most people.
Oh, yeah.
You were on that flat earth shit way before him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He got that from me.
He got that from the original iteration of Culture Camp.
Yo, how mad would you be if the Lakers won, though?
I mean, I'm already, like, planning for it.
But I tell you this.
I read something on Reddit that i thought was very
very very like uh poignant in our in the history of the clippers because as you know the clips
gonna clip in some sort of way how clipper would it be that the year that we're having one of our
best seasons and got two great players and very, like, the odds of us winning is very high,
that the season gets canceled by some unforeseeable pandemic.
Right.
And then when they decide to bring basketball back, we win the title where none of the fans can be in attendance to watch it.
And we can't have a parade because there's a pandemic going on and also protest and everything like that.
So big gathering in large groups is just a,
not a great idea.
And that's just very Clipper.
That's very like for us to win our first title in a ridiculous,
a ridiculous season.
And on top of that ridiculous season,
not being able to celebrate it and not being able to see it.
I feel like if it's going to be fully a good Clippers story,
Keith Kloss has to factor into this somehow.
He'll be the main one and be like, we should have a parade
because 5G, I ain't scared of that.
Oh, man, I remember when he got knocked out outside of that club.
Keith Kloss, baby.
Interesting fella he is.
And is there a tweet or some other work of social media
you've been enjoying carl yeah um
vince staples tweeted i would have beat george washington's ass
and that's that's something to really think about right there because i also feel like i would have
beat his ass too knocked his wood teeth out hell yeah knocked all them wood teeth out put them in
my barbecue grill using me some hickory.
Put up some brisket. Miles, where can people
find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying?
You can find me on Twitter and
Instagram at milesofgray.
Also on PlayStation Network.
You can also find me on
my other podcast, 420 Day Fiance.
Where, you know, we talk
about 90 Day Fiance.
You know, hi.
So if you want to, this is a tweet I like is actually from Ben Collins, who's like on the, you know, digital beat over at MSNBC,
who like he talks a lot about like 4chan and the things that are going on, internet radicalization. He was basically talking during the Antifa panic and was talking about this.
He said, quote,
So many people responding to the nationwide Antifa panic have pointed me to the Twilight Zone episode,
quote,
The monsters are due on Maple Street, end quote.
It concludes with this monologue, and it's chilling, right?
This is from the Twilight Zone.
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout.
There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices to be found only in the minds of men.
For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has as a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn
and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the twilight zone but a very
interesting thing when you talk about people fighting invisible enemies and
getting together, like we saw a few weeks ago.
All right.
You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien.

Pretty good. Pretty good. And the first off the riff, the first track, Yankee and the Brave,
is just a great track.
So we're going to go out on that one for Run the Jewels, Yankee and the Brave.
Got to LP and kill them.
All right.
Well, we are going to ride out on that.
