Also, fuck J.K. Rowling. Fuck J.K. Rowling. It's Monday, June 15th, 2020. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Potatoes O'Brien, 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.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Thank you to Hannah Soltis. This time, I actually wrote this AK, not like yesterday where I just pulled the, or last week when I pulled the energy out of the ether to get that. 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.
Starting point is 00:03:35 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.
Starting point is 00:03:52 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.
Starting point is 00:04:09 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
Starting point is 00:04:29 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:14 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?
Starting point is 00:05:35 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
Starting point is 00:05:47 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.
Starting point is 00:06:19 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.
Starting point is 00:06:44 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
Starting point is 00:07:28 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
Starting point is 00:08:27 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
Starting point is 00:09:27 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.
Starting point is 00:09:56 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
Starting point is 00:10:12 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.
Starting point is 00:10:52 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
Starting point is 00:11:26 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?
Starting point is 00:11:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:57 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.
Starting point is 00:12:17 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
Starting point is 00:12:47 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
Starting point is 00:13:27 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
Starting point is 00:13:43 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.
Starting point is 00:14:08 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.
Starting point is 00:14:21 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.
Starting point is 00:14:38 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.
Starting point is 00:14:54 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
Starting point is 00:15:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:01 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:17:26 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.
Starting point is 00:18:10 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
Starting point is 00:18:30 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.
Starting point is 00:18:58 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
Starting point is 00:19:26 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,
Starting point is 00:20:06 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,
Starting point is 00:20:15 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.
Starting point is 00:20:23 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
Starting point is 00:20:56 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.
Starting point is 00:21:22 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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
Starting point is 00:22:12 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, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:22:52 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. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Starting point is 00:24:01 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
Starting point is 00:24:37 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.
Starting point is 00:25:10 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,
Starting point is 00:25:37 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
Starting point is 00:26:11 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
Starting point is 00:26:57 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
Starting point is 00:27:53 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.
Starting point is 00:28:34 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
Starting point is 00:29:22 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.
Starting point is 00:29:47 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.
Starting point is 00:30:26 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
Starting point is 00:31:10 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
Starting point is 00:31:55 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
Starting point is 00:32:30 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,
Starting point is 00:32:44 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.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Really? Everybody. Especially my black brothers. Get just straps. Good. Legally. Yeah. I don't see...
Starting point is 00:33:03 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
Starting point is 00:33:25 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,
Starting point is 00:34:09 she's a doctor. Like that's. Yeah. So is Ben Carson though. Yeah. Yeah. And so am I. That's right.
Starting point is 00:34:18 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?
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:34:58 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
Starting point is 00:35:37 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
Starting point is 00:36:05 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.
Starting point is 00:36:49 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.
Starting point is 00:37:16 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.
Starting point is 00:37:52 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.
Starting point is 00:38:29 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
Starting point is 00:39:07 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
Starting point is 00:40:01 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.
Starting point is 00:40:18 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.
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:41:27 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.
Starting point is 00:41:43 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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,
Starting point is 00:42:51 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?
Starting point is 00:43:10 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
Starting point is 00:43:33 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.
Starting point is 00:43:58 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.
Starting point is 00:44:26 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. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:45:00 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

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
Starting point is 00:47:03 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
Starting point is 00:48:05 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.
Starting point is 00:48:40 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.
Starting point is 00:48:59 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
Starting point is 00:49:44 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
Starting point is 00:50:26 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.
Starting point is 00:50:36 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.
Starting point is 00:50:52 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
Starting point is 00:51:14 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
Starting point is 00:52:06 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.
Starting point is 00:52:37 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
Starting point is 00:53:11 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.
Starting point is 00:53:25 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.
Starting point is 00:53:44 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
Starting point is 00:53:59 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?
Starting point is 00:54:24 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
Starting point is 00:54:39 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.
Starting point is 00:55:03 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.
Starting point is 00:55:39 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.
Starting point is 00:55:59 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
Starting point is 00:56:26 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
Starting point is 00:57:20 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
Starting point is 00:58:05 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.
Starting point is 00:58:39 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.
Starting point is 00:59:06 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?
Starting point is 01:00:05 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?
Starting point is 01:00:28 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
Starting point is 01:00:53 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?
Starting point is 01:01:15 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
Starting point is 01:02:00 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.
Starting point is 01:02:38 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
Starting point is 01:03:22 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?
Starting point is 01:03:47 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.
Starting point is 01:04:15 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.
Starting point is 01:04:29 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.
Starting point is 01:04:41 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
Starting point is 01:05:26 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.
Starting point is 01:05:53 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
Starting point is 01:06:14 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.
Starting point is 01:06:56 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
Starting point is 01:07:35 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
Starting point is 01:07:59 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
Starting point is 01:08:25 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
Starting point is 01:08:40 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.
Starting point is 01:08:57 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?
Starting point is 01:09:23 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.
Starting point is 01:10:07 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.
Starting point is 01:10:23 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.
Starting point is 01:11:06 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,
Starting point is 01:11:24 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.
Starting point is 01:11:50 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
Starting point is 01:12:17 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.
Starting point is 01:12:50 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
Starting point is 01:13:11 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
Starting point is 01:13:37 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
Starting point is 01:13:57 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,
Starting point is 01:14:29 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
Starting point is 01:15:02 interesting thing when you talk about people fighting invisible enemies and getting together, like we saw a few weeks ago. All right.
