Starting point is 00:05:04 Well, I love doing a nice extended preamble with our guest today because I feel like he's among the most both polite in that he doesn't talk before we introduce him, but also like kind of starts squirming around, really is ready to talk. He stays ready to talk. He is a hilarious and talented comedian and podcast host. One of our favorite guests. You've seen him doing stand-up on TV. You've seen him doing
Starting point is 00:05:29 stand-up live in front of you if you're very lucky. On a stage possibly? Why not? You've heard him on podcasts all across this great land we call the internet. He is one of the foremost experts on who will win an Oscar. Please welcome the brilliant
Starting point is 00:05:45 the hilarious nick turner thank you so much i also wanted to come out with a little ditty about jack miles gray but um you're not even that's all i got so but i did think about how TikTok told me that Grimace's purple cum won't stop. There you go. Like the TikTok song. Yeah. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:06:18 There you go. Thank you, guys. And no, I'm not going to talk during the beginning. I know. You're a fucking professional. People have been listening to podcasts for a long time. And when they hear a voice of someone that has not been introduced, they turn it off. It's jarring.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I do. That's right. I say, well, the guest is not respectful. Goodbye. Yeah. Thank you. I don't want my kid knowing this. Don't even laugh.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I don't want my kid even feeling the't even laugh I don't want my kid even like Feeling the energy I'm picking up by listening to it I don't want people to know It's even a possibility My son I mean He's only good he doesn't know about bad things Right pure of heart Yeah Every time someone gets murdered on TV
Starting point is 00:07:00 I explain to him why that person deserved it Right They spoke before they were being intro'd on a podcast. You didn't see that scene before, but that's why they just got brutally stabbed right now. Including the local news. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Every time, you're just saying, that person spoke before they were introduced as a guest on a podcast. This movie, too? That person didn't tell Daddy they loved them. I'm going to write a note of that. I think that's a good tip. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Well, Nick, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today. There's been a tape leak. Here's a couple of the things we're talking about today. There's been a tape leak. There's been a little leak of the tape that was referenced in the indictment against Trump. We're starting to see why Jack Smith seemed so confident. The tape is just, it's truly like a comedic cutaway. Like, to contrast someone being like, I didn't do that.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And then there's the tape of him being like i did it i'm doing it right now on tape look at me like it's do we know who released that cnn cnn no but who but who got it though yeah who got it and also like they say he was talking to a writer that is a question that i had like who's the writer he's talking to well the writers uh there's two writers that he's talking to well the writers uh there's two writers that he's talking to that were writing an autobiography of mark meadows yeah those that's what that's why they were there amazing but yeah i don't know i mean it definitely it's not that it doesn't the doj isn't they're not interested in that but it's probably on the other side
Starting point is 00:08:40 obviously so for in terms of like technically learning new things i don't think we have but it's just wonderful texture it's it's kind of what you would expect yeah it's weird to be a fly on the wall yeah like in a moment where these people are like fawning over trump as he's just talking absolute nonsense and you can hear how people handle him they're like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that he's like right good it's really cool right all right i can say even more now i bet you didn't think i was gonna be this cool did you no no you're way cooler energy it is a little insight onto how like into how people talk to him yeah where it's like i don't i probably that's how every conversation goes where he like says
Starting point is 00:09:25 something insane possibly illegal and then you go yeah oh yeah yes sir that is crazy that you're showing me this yes nothing else about it yeah so this is a problem i could have declassified this if i was still president but now i can't I mean, that line alone is like just super gold. Amazing. So we'll talk about the tape. We'll talk about the defenses of the tape. We'll talk about cocaine. Of course, cocaine is the hot new drug.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Have you guys heard of this? Have you seen this? I saw it at a liberal coffee shop recently. They're melting down the plastic that they use to smuggle the cocaine titanic is coming to netflix people are acting like this was all a last minute arrangement it wasn't but we'll talk about that and we will of course the sea gate thing for our ocean gate thing for months now yes it's all been a plan it's one of the greatest examples of buzz marketing. Speaking of buzz, Logan Paul's energy drink is trying to kill children. It would seem it's it seems like it's
Starting point is 00:10:33 kind of bad for you. So cool. Yeah. Like trying to kill them. It's so cool. Yeah. So all of that will freeze plenty more. But first, Nick Turner, we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's first huh yeah it doesn't need to be we can also rearrange no it's fine i'm just surprised i've only done this show 900 we haven't rearranged search history has probably been first for a thousand five hundred episodes is that how many we've done? Yeah. Well, it's funny because it's last on the list of things that you send out that you're going to talk about.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah. We like to keep you off guard so that maybe you give us your real search history instead of the pretty search history you want people to believe. So anyway, I just know that I'm angry right off the top. Off the top.
Starting point is 00:11:27 The last thing that I Googled was where does bandit work? And you don't know. If you have a kid who's maybe just a little younger than mine. Or too old. What's your youngest?
Starting point is 00:11:44 Blond. Mine is five years old. Okay, your youngest? Loi. Mine is five years old. Okay, so he's in it. It's Bluey, yeah. But what's funny about Bluey is that they have jobs, and they have, like, dog jobs. Oh. Wait, which one's Bluey?
Starting point is 00:11:59 Wait, who's Bandit? Bandit is the father. Yeah, he's the dad. He's the dad. He's the father of all fathers' dad. The blue of all fathers existence. I've seen the... Bluey! I've definitely seen a couple episodes. Oh, so Bandit is like the... Okay, got it.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Yeah, so if you don't know, Bluey is like one of the only shows that you can watch as an adult, like a kid's show. I think it's like Spongebob, you know, where it's like, the jokes are good enough, you know, and it feels good enough that adults watch it. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Right. It feels good. It can be heartbreaking. It's very good. It can be heartbreaking? Yeah. It's kind of like I look at it as a blueprint for how to interact with your kids.
Starting point is 00:12:37 It is true. Because the parents just yes and everything and explain everything and they're just so nice. And so patient. So patient. everything and explain everything and they're just so nice and so patient so patient like the they have like zen buddhist levels of patience with their children and that that is one of the first questions that occurs to you watching it is like so the dad's just like unemployed or something what's going on why is he spending an entire day? Because the show's not about their jobs. It's about how he does.
Starting point is 00:13:06 But both the parents have dog jobs, which I think is really funny. Like what? He's an archaeologist, meaning that he digs up bones. That's funny. Okay. And the mom, Chili, is a sidewalk shitter. She's a big dumpster. She's a bomb sniffing dog at the airport no yeah wait there's which implies the presence of domestic and international terrorism but they're in australia
Starting point is 00:13:36 so there's not as much of a worry yeah aussie zeitgang who are who's who's bringing bombs into your country no one not with chili on the loose wait do they ever but do they reference like do you ever go to work with the dad and be like oh he's doing this and like oh this mom is you know sniffing up bombs and shit uh i don't know if they know she's a mom at work you know right yeah exactly you know not it's not her only identity because women at work often face extra challenges uh being mothers this is true and some of them have really mean bosses and my wife actually has a very mean mean mean boss oh no her office. And it's you. Sounds horrible. Oh, it's me.
Starting point is 00:14:27 That's right. I am pretty bad. What you see, not what you get with this podcast. This whole personality. Classic jerk. Hiding it in front of almost everybody. Every time you ever open up your mouth. Yeah. It's good good i'm coming
Starting point is 00:14:45 for him i'm like because i just i think i can squeeze a little more productivity out of them with the force of my personality nick for sure for sure and and my hunger for conflict those are the two things that drive me and you started that seven day work week for which she loves that's right yeah that's how the only way we'll have it the we don't i i don't think we're fully up on bluey or at least i don't think i've watched every episode of bluey with my kids they do we don't like go to work with them ever right is this just lore no you don't go to work with them they just talk about it like sometimes but like not enough to even like know like i don't know their names because they don't mention it enough it's only like if another adult they see
Starting point is 00:15:37 out calls them by their first name yeah bandit and chili yeah but yeah you know some great australian accents like the really really makes you fond of i guess it just makes you fond of everything that it touches you know i was reading recently they had to change an episode that hadn't aired here just in australia that included fat shaming because they're very worried about everything and so right but it's when you're ascribing some kind of value to it that it's problematic. Yeah, or that it's bad, I guess. It's like the same thing, too. I've talked about in Asian culture, because you'd be like, hey, you're bald.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Or like, wow, look at your pimples. It's like a lot of cultures don't have like a, there's no, like you just go straight to it. It's very direct. And especially when you talk about someone's looks. And I was talking about that with like my wife. And was talking like oh yeah we do that in japan all the time she's like yeah but that's like toxic and i'm like right oh yeah whoa whoa that's true ha ha didn't think i feel like ball jamming is still pretty common like in the u.s at the very
Starting point is 00:16:42 least like oh yeah yeah no nobody's trying to speak up for the bald well i think it's because it's like you know because we live in such a patriarchal society yeah they're like no fuck you guys talking about men yeah the only show that really talks about being bald is curvier enthusiasm right yeah no and they they understand that people hate bald people. You bald fuck, Larry. Yo, I just got on minoxidil. Uh-huh. I started taking hair loss pills or growth or whatever because I just got to the end.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I'm not bald, but I've got enough. You've got a good head of hair. I've got enough of a widow's peak. You're starting to measure it. You like i can notice it you got the calipers out and went from your eyebrow bone to your hairline and we're like it's past yeah where i need that's the one where that's like uh um a pencil holder slash knife? That's the compass. That's a compass.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Pencil holder slash knife. That thing is... That's how I used it in school. That was the first weapon you could bring to school. Yeah, it was allowed. Allowable in school. Isn't the compass the ruler? No, it's a protractor. That's a protractor protractor that's a protractor
Starting point is 00:18:06 for angles and stuff yeah shit the way you said shit like like a lot like you just fucked up majorly with them you just fucked up hey nick you just fucked up big time man yeah i don't know what to tell you my kid school supplies i really got him the wrong thing. You got him a compass? Yeah. They generally don't give those to kids. I got him a whole orienteering set. Yeah. I don't know that phrase.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Oh, that's where you would have a compass. That's for like looking, you know, tricking the woods. Nick, what's something you think is overrated? Great question. Yes. Great question. And I'm prepared to answer that.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I think overrated are the signs that say, smile, you're on camera. I don't know why anyone would buy it. I don't know why anyone on earth would put that on the outside of their house because nothing makes me angrier. The subtext of that is, hey, fuckface. Like there is an implied, hey, fuckface in there. Yes, like it reads as a curse word. Of course.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Smile. A dipshit. Yeah, you think you're fucking something you're fucking like Joe's house you piece of shit and I'm gonna fucking kill you smile you dead asshole so aggressive
Starting point is 00:19:35 it sucks cause also it's like if you I don't even think you have a camera I think you're just saying that because you're like afraid because you don't have a camera if you have a camera you're secretive just saying that because you're like afraid because you don't have a camera if you have a camera you're secretive about it because you want to catch somebody yeah yeah yeah well i don't i mean would you rather catch somebody trying to murder you or have them be dissuaded by a sign that says evidence within well i think
Starting point is 00:20:00 i've been waiting for you, motherfucker. I'm not sure if most people breaking into your house are there to murder you. You never know. What is possible? I mean, it is one of those things whenever you see vandalism and stuff, you're like, I wonder what would happen if they had a camera.
Starting point is 00:20:22 But in terms of... Because I'd say'd say smile you're on camera they're generally trying to stop people from doing a crime that's like vandalism right yeah or you know and and then you're just antagonizing them like in order to get them to stop to not like take over the potted plant as they steal your Amazon delivery or whatever. You know, it's also extra worse in Los Angeles because like, you know, I'm trying to get on TV. And then when you come at me and you're like, smile, look, we're recording. That's what I wanted.
Starting point is 00:21:00 But not like this. Not like this. You not like this. Yeah. And then you like knocking on the door the door like could i actually get the daily footage go back over the daily yo i guess i would ask me for real but i ain't never done nothing yeah that would be really funny to like go to the house with that sign and be like hey could i actually get a look of that at that footage i just want to see like how i'm how i come across on camera or you should record an audition on it and then demand that they give it because you need it for a role you're going for like knocking the door hey man i just didn't audition on your camera you said i was on camera what the fuck man you were directing me
Starting point is 00:21:41 like and now you're asking me not to come for the i always yeah you should like put on a play for those people just give them something to look at like i always do the monologue from uh i know what you did last summer where she's in the rain screaming what are you waiting for we're right here coming yeah but they never come out. What a monologue. I want the best written monologues in the world. That's Jennifer Love Hewitt, right? Yeah. Wasn't that the guy who wrote
Starting point is 00:22:14 Scream? Who wrote Dawson's Creek? Oh, sure. Kevin something? Williamson? Yeah. What a name. The guy who wrote Dawson's Creek wrote Scream? Yeah, he was like the hottest guy in the world kevin williamson yeah i think that's right yeah maybe dawson's creek yeah wow is the is uh i know what you did last summer there scream no just scream i don't know he did
Starting point is 00:22:40 i know what you did last summer i feel like that was one of those things when a writer gets really hot and then they have like a team that is just churning out Kevin Williamson brand scripts. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe that does. Yeah, like James Patterson. Yeah, exactly. Damn, Developed Vampire Diaries? This guy is fucking paid.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Yeah, he's doing very good. Jesus. This is the number of houses he owns, probably. Yeah. About nine. Well, well, well. If it isn't Creekside's very own Steven Spielberg. Creekside.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Hey, Dawson. What was the name of that place? I have no idea. I don't know. I don't remember. I mean, not that I just watch every episode multiple times. I just loved how everyone just greeted each other the most. It was like they were trying to get to a word count every
Starting point is 00:23:26 every time they opened their mouths on that show that show is so backwards i remember watching it like last year some of it and i was like where are the black people and then when they appear it's just like so terribly handled i was like okay this is this is something else this creek wasn't for me cap Capeside, Massachusetts. Capeside. Well, well, well. Wilmington, North Carolina. Shot.
Starting point is 00:23:52 It's where it was shot, right? Yeah. I took the tour. I mean, it's like a self-tour when I was doing stand-up there one weekend. And I went to all the spots on it. And I did not recognize one of them. What are the spots even like? It really felt like a back lot.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Yeah, it's like bars and like you know, the pier and I don't know, these certain streets or whatever, like, I don't know. You're not going to Michelle's house. Yeah, somebody went through with a camera one day for 12 hours and got a bunch of shots of the outside of buildings that were
Starting point is 00:24:26 then used to set up scenes that happened on a back lot yeah what's uh what's uh hey hey nick uh oh shit nick over here over here uh what is something what's something you think is underrated nick oh i think uh i just went to mexico i went to ensanada which is two hours south on the Baja Coast, two hours south of Tijuana. And I had very expensive tacos. I had very cheap tacos. I had every type of tacos you could have. And the tortillas in these tacos, no matter where you get them, are so superior to tacos and tortillas that I get in southern california and you constantly hear
Starting point is 00:25:07 living in southern california how you got the best mexican food in the world but there is a disconnect and i don't know what it is and i don't know why i can't purchase tacos or tortillas like shipped up that taste is good but i. But I think we really got a big head based on our location and number of Mexican restaurants that our food is somehow comparable to that of Mexican food, and it isn't. And I also need recommendations on where to get tortillas that taste like that in Los Angeles because somebody must be shipping them.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Right. Best tortillas I've ever had in Southern California are Sonoratown. Yeah, I've had Sonoratown. That's good. But can you buy? You can probably buy tortillas from them. Maybe. They seem cool.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Like Guisados has great tortillas. But I've been told Cookbook gotta go to cookbook i haven't been yet okay it is a thing where we have like shipped content there are trucks driving across the united states full of brooklyn tap water yeah like make bagels in Los Angeles, as we speak, presumably. But they have not figured out the Twinkies. That'd be really funny, the idea of taking Mexican tap water. Right, and bringing it up. Bringing it up and just killing yourself with it.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yeah. I wonder, is it just like the corn? I don't understand. I don't know. I mean, I can't figure it out. I was baffled yeah the one curse research would tell you that a lot of uh the ingredients just lack the kind of preservatives and oh well that's yeah that's a boo on my end if you were if you were buying them
Starting point is 00:26:58 like if you oh well then i need a stable for four months at least. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this has not helped. Yeah. Well, look. Hey, we'll figure it out. Somebody let him know. That's what we're here for. To not help.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Yeah. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and listen to the Trump tape. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life it's too late for that I have a proposal for you come up here and document my project all you need to do is record everything like you always do one session
Starting point is 00:27:39 24 hours BPM 110 120 she's terrified should we wake her up? absolutely not 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?
Starting point is 00:27:52 You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

The Boone County rebels will stay the Boone County rebels with the image of... It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,
Starting point is 00:29:10 these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple And we're back. And CNN released audio recordings of Trump that were referenced in the indictment. And it's pretty damning. It is damning. Yeah, it's pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:30:45 But that's what I think makes it frustrating. You're going to listen to this tape. He's going to literally describe the crimes he's doing and his knowledge of it. And then we're still going to be pondering if he will see the inside of the jail. But anyway, here we go. This is the Trump mixtape that just dropped, courtesy of CNN. These are bad, sick people. That was your coup, you know, against you.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Well, it started right at the beginning. Like when Milley's talking about, oh, you were going to try to do a coup. No, they were trying to do that before you even were sworn in. That's right. Trying to overthrow your election. Well, with Milley, let me see that. I'll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack iran okay you're hearing him
Starting point is 00:31:28 shuffle what we now know are these top secret documents so that's the pay he goes hand me that really quick because the thing they're even starting off was the idea that mark milley was saying that like you know what he what the plan was for if trump went you know just completely off the rails and was trying to start a war. And that's why he's like, no, this is what's really happening. Hand me these secret documents. They're mine. Isn't it amazing?
Starting point is 00:31:52 I have a big pile of papers. This thing just came out. Look. Look. This was him. They presented me this. This is off the record, but they presented me this. This was him.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Also, what record? We looked me this. This was him. Also, what record? We looked at some. This was him. This wasn't done by me. This was him. All sorts of stuff. Pages long. The record from the Mark whatever book?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Mark Meadows. Yeah. Isn't that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know. Mm-hmm. I just love, this totally wins my
Starting point is 00:32:31 case, you know. The most damning evidence. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, that was the coup they were doing against you. Against you the whole time. He goes on. Except it is like highly confidential. Everyone's laughing uncomfortably laughing look at this you attack and hillary would print that out all the time did you hear what he just said look at this it's
Starting point is 00:32:53 secret look look at this you attack and like clearly showing you something very very sensitive the staffer says hillary would print that out all the time, you know, like shade. But it's in his fucking hand. Right. Print it out. Print it out already. She'd send it to Anthony Weiner. A politician that she knows. By the way, isn't that incredible?
Starting point is 00:33:20 Not a stranger. She was trying to impress who can't's like truly he is in the like end of raging bull like era where he's just trying to impress whoever comes by and just be like hey look at this right right just a punch drunk boxer but yeah the anthony wiener thing is just to be able to evoke his name because, you know, he was with Huma Abedin, her, you know, number two. Anyway, we go. He said he wanted to attack Iran. He's in the papers.
Starting point is 00:33:55 This was done by the military, given to me. I think we can probably, yeah? We'll have to see. Yeah, we'll have to try to figure out a... See, as president, I couldn't have declassified it. Now I can't. Now we have a problem.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Isn't that interesting? Did she say, now we have a problem? Yeah, because she's even like, yeah, maybe we could try to... She even knows, like, you can't. But anyway, now we have a problem. Isn't that interesting? It's so cool.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And you probably almost didn't believe me, but now you believe me. No, I believe you. It's incredible, right? Hey, bring some cokes in, please. It's so cool. I mean, it's so, look, her her and i and you probably almost didn't believe me but now you believe me oh no i believed you please don't show me that again it's incredible right and hey bring us in some cokes these weren't planted these were given to me by the pentagon
Starting point is 00:34:58 like there's no he can't argue away anything at this point right you know what i mean like he's talking about like the origins of the papers he's holding them he's when he's saying they you're talking about the fucking pentagon it's like did you know at one point i think we yeah i think we have a problem now or something to that effect like yeah this is what just went down is pretty fucked up yeah it was after because again he's trying to say it and he's like, we'll have to try to declassify it. But here, you can hear it again. I think we can probably
Starting point is 00:35:31 declassify it. We'll have to see. Declassify it. See, as president, I could have declassified it. Now I can't. Now we have a problem. Isn't that interesting? Now we have a problem. It's even interesting? Yeah. Now we have a problem.
Starting point is 00:35:47 The way it's even like laughed your way out of that. Yo, this is how I know that the government didn't kill JFK because Trump would have told us. They didn't tell his ass. If they did. Some things they knew. Here, we'll tell you about how to attack Iran. You don't just get all the secrets. I i don't think so i remember obama being pissed at one point or like kind of intimating that he wanted to know like the ufo secrets or no clinton i think at one point was
Starting point is 00:36:19 like yeah they like if they have discovered ufos they're not telling me and like seems like genuinely pissed like i think they keep some stuff the only the only ufo in clinton's administration was the cum flying around his office unidentified flying object i was trying to words of cum yeah i don't know Unidentified flying offenses Fair way We did our best So I mean this kind of Completely unravels his defense
Starting point is 00:36:55 Right like he claimed in a recent Fox News Interview that the recording Unidentified flying orgasms There it is Alright we're done here folks Thank you very much Nick where can people find you?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Right here, baby. But he said in the Fox News interview that when he was showing documents relating to Iran, they were merely newspaper stories, magazine stories, and articles. But on the tape, he repeatedly brags about
Starting point is 00:37:24 how the Pentagon gave him these files and they are secret and when he was president he could have declassified them but now he can't and the person he's with says now we have a problem isn't that interesting isn't that interesting bring in some cokes please a little stress i need to stress dc real quick to sip on oh yeah i mean yeah it's it's again it's like so clear there's so many people who are like you know from like watergate historians are like you never even had nixon even coming close to like articulate short of him citing the actual like legal like code that he violated this is pretty this is pretty you know damning but again yeah but i did hear
Starting point is 00:38:07 something like you can only prosecute people for these crimes where it happened and since this crime happened in new jersey i'm not sure it can be a part of the like uh the grand jury convening in florida or the grand jury convening in DC. It's well, people are saying that that's where Jack Smith is leaving options because the documents were recovered in Florida, which is why it's in the, in the Southern district of Florida. And the people are suspecting that if judge cannon goes all in on just
Starting point is 00:38:41 mucking around and like fucking up this trial, that they have many other cards to play. So it doesn like this isn't the be-all end-all which could potentially be about disseminating information in new jersey that would be the charge in new jersey would be the dissemination of that information okay and it had that happened at bedminster yeah yeah yeah so that's why like there's a lot of intrigue a A lot of people are like, oh, I wonder if they just have all these sort of, you know, contingency plans in place because they know that you could get a very friendly judge or a mistrial or something. Well, I know you have to come back to other things. They moved to Florida one from D.C. and then started a new D.C. one. That's like where they got Steve Bannon coming in. steve bannon coming in right there's a yeah there's a january 6th one in dc um and then this one they did it in florida because there would have been potential for trump and his legal team
Starting point is 00:39:30 to argue that this actually should be tried in florida and not dc right so they're just trying to basically take away as many arguments going into it to just i i have a feeling there's i mean like the january 6th thing is like we just found out that the Secret Service just testified and gave their account of what happened. And then there's, like, the fake electors thing. There's, like, other things happening. And, like, there's also other dimensions of this documents case that. You know, the Secret Service, too, they've got, you know, full immunity to be like, we did terrible things because he made us. Because you know what?
Starting point is 00:40:03 That's our job. Yeah. Right. I can't say no to the guy yeah but it really it does go back like i remember when he was running for president there was this old new yorker profile that like interviewed him and the guy who wrote the art of the deal for him and it was like just you know the the point of the article is like Donald Trump didn't really write a single part of that book. But they're like at the very end of the article is like them just kind of summing up Donald Trump's character with this scene where he's like showing off.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I think it's like Buster Douglasouglas or like evander holyfield's boxing glove to the person they're like all he is is somebody who just like takes you to his office and like shows you sports memorabilia and then the last quote is he's like yeah it's a it's a real authentic tyson boxing glove he gave it to me it's uh it's a pretty cool life right it's a, it's a pretty cool life, right? It's just like that, that I think that just sums him up. Even as president, that was all he was about was just like getting access to neat stuff and then like showing it to people and being like, it's so cool.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I mean, it's so look her and I, and you probably almost didn't believe me, but now you believe me. It's incredible, right? Like that, that I think that just
Starting point is 00:41:25 is all he cares about ultimately is like and that and also in case you think that doesn't impress rich guys the rich guys who he golfs with every morning and is who like kisses ass all night like that is harlan crowe who like has a house full of fucking nazi napkins and shit like that like that's all they care nazi tea set okay nazi tea set yes but like that's all they care about is like wow real artifacts of yeah right it's power it's a show and tell but for for ages and i'm sure at a certain point, Trump's like, I can't afford that stuff. Then I got to be president so that I can have natural secrets. No one's going to top that shit.
Starting point is 00:42:10 But anyway, so we have this guy on tape describing his crimes, his intent, his knowledge of how transgressive the act is. But I'm like, this is beyond slam dunk, right? But anyway, despite how clear the and like context is of this moment the maga people are coming it's all hands on deck for trying to obscure what's happening here we'll start off with our one of our favorite characters from the trump administration teenage mutant ninja gerbils himself stephen miller and ninja gerbils uh anyway this is what he said quote the security state is very skilled at psychological warfare. They're skilled at the art and artistry that's often deployed in foreign countries of how to control the narrative in our country.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Don't fall for it. We have been watching them try to play us year after year after year, going all the way back to the Russia hoax. And of course, remember the Ukraine hoax. Remember the election year? Now with the Russian bounty story where Trump was letting Russia get away with putting bounties on our troops? Then it comes out later. That was a fake story. So he found one story that didn't pan out.
Starting point is 00:43:11 One story from seven years ago. Right. But that's how they do it. Okay, fine. How about this one? This is from a Trump spokesperson. Quote, the audio tape provides context proving once again that president trump did nothing wrong at all the president is speaking rhetorically and also quite humorously about a very perverted individual
Starting point is 00:43:31 anthony weiner who is deep inside the corrupt clinton campaign uh the media and the trump haters once again were all too willing to take the bait falling for another democrat DOJ hoax, hook, line, and sinker. Boom. Got him. I don't know how you win this case in court now after they made that point. Because that was the thing that we were all talking. The only thing we talked about from this was the one Anthony Weiner reference. That's the only important thing here, and I'm glad he mentioned that.
Starting point is 00:44:00 That guy's a pervert. And nothing else. This exonerates him. And then, if you want to hear from the orange Kool-Aid man himself. Again, this is an all caps, all caps in honor of National All Caps Day. Clinton socks case, not by this psycho's fantasy of the never used before espionage act of 1917. Quote unquote, Smith should be looking at Crooked Joe Bidden 2Ds and all of the crimes that he has perpetrated on the American public, including the millions and millions of dollars he extorted from foreign countries. Anyway, so Smith, if that even is your name yeah i don't know is it just me or does smith like not look like his job he doesn't yeah he's like the world's most competent man but just looking at him you're just like i wouldn't ask that guy to watch my laptop at Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:45:06 He's got a bad beard. He looks like dope. Yeah. He does. I don't know exactly what, but yeah, he just doesn't exude competence for whatever reason. He looks like he snuck into this pool. Yes, exactly. Right. Or he just looks like not a chill guy.
Starting point is 00:45:24 All he'd talk about is the law and stuff. Oh my God, exactly. Right. Or he just, he just looks like not a chill guy. Like all he knows, like all he'd talk about is like the law and stuff. Oh my God, dude. Like to your point, like if he was holding a baby, I feel like he would get lost in thought and like just drop it. But he, yeah. Trump, like that's kind of openly threatening, right? Saying, would somebody explain to him him his family and his friends like it why include his family in there well because it's just everybody so they let you know that
Starting point is 00:45:53 he can touch anyone like i don't know i don't know i don't know i didn't say that yeah you don't talk about a guy's family that's at work it's just not at work that's not at work not at work dude you're trying to fight because then bring up my family at work. That's not at work. Not at work, dude. You trying to fight? Cause then bring up my family at work. That's right. But yeah, I don't know. Again,
Starting point is 00:46:10 it's just, it's just him fucking flopping around right now. Cause it's like, and all they can, they're fully now the legal defense is basically not. Yeah. But just with like fancier words, which is like, they're saying this incriminating tape actually proves his innocence
Starting point is 00:46:25 you're like no it's fucking on what planet 24-hour news cycle planet of the united states of america that's the planet the only planet the greatest planet of all time yeah except dr zeus is about to take over anyways we'll see how this goes it seems bad for him but you know consequences seem seem to be like a substance that does not it just goes away when it comes near trump so we'll see yeah all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about how cocaine is back baby all right bring some coaxing will you I've been thinking about you I want you back in my life it's too late for that I have a proposal for you
Starting point is 00:47:12 come up here and document my project all you need to do is record everything like you always do one session 24 hours BPM 110 120 she's terrified should we wake her up? absolutely not 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?
Starting point is 00:47:27 Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.

Part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. Hello, everyone.
Starting point is 00:49:06 I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber Show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right. And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening
Starting point is 00:49:28 to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach. That's my husband. Daphne Spring, Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan J., and more. You gotta watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can
Starting point is 00:49:44 still watch us, but you gotta listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen. Like if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just just you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money drug report which i hadn't been paying attention to but now we'll anticipate uh every year when it comes out uh was released the biggest mover this year you guessed it folks it's cocaine rising up the charts yeah yeah i mean i guess traditionally the main markets were north america western central europe now in this report they're like it's fucking everywhere now like it's people are starting to use it more in africa southeast asia
Starting point is 00:50:46 Now, like it's people are starting to use it more in Africa, Southeast Asia, Southeastern Europe. Use is at an all time high. Like sometimes they would see like it ebb and flow. Now there's just like it's all upward arrows. Consumption's up. Production's up. And it's it's the 80s, baby. There's cocaine everywhere.
Starting point is 00:51:01 And I guess traditionally. No, I'm sorry. Like even though production isn't at an all time high, they're also saying seizures are actually outpacing production. So, you know, mark one up for the drug war. But yeah, apparently this has only led to like the drug traffickers to go next level with the chemistry. Now, in my mind, the last time I was like watching drug documentaries, it was like probably about like eight, like eighties or nineties 90s where people were just like smuggling them in little tchotchkes and stuff or like on a janky submarine.
Starting point is 00:51:30 But they've stepped the game up. Traffickers are now, quote, increasingly smuggling cocaine based by dissolving it into plastic and charcoal objects because it's much harder to detect. Then they set up super labs in Europe where they extract the cocaine base out of those materials and turn it into powder. I feel like this is going to be huge for Pusha T's next album. Like he has so much material to work with. Oh, yeah. Like he's like, hold on, plastic and charcoal? Plastic and charcoal objects.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Right. Scanners, x-rays and canines usually can't detect cocaine that's been smuggled in this manner and they said that there are clandestine chemists can use certain chemicals to quote lock the cocaine into the carrier product making it impossible to retrieve the drug without knowing which chemical to use wow i was whoa yeah i mean this is this is like uh like teaching teaching chong made their whole van out of the weed right can't arrest us if it's the whole van nice try asshole this whole van's weed let us go but yeah i mean it's uh again this is just like some next level trafficking thing i didn't realize but yeah i feel like it's the the use of cocaine is i feel like because like where was i recently i I was traveling somewhere and people were talking about cocaine in a way that I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:52:48 In my mind, cocaine users were like city folk. Right. Just getting off a break from the trading floor at Wall Street. And now it's in all the corners of the earth. Yeah. The guy when you're checking out at the gas station is like, do you want some cocaine or do you have any cocaine that I could borrow? I noticed you seem to be from the city. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:53:10 So they put all like they got scientists working on, you know, it's Breaking Bad. And they got like, you know, they're spending weeks, you know, putting all the formulas together. And then they have a secret formula, you know, that turns it into a plastic bottle. And then you've got to have a secret formula that turns it into a plastic bottle and then you've got to have a secret formula that turns it back into. And then as soon as it gets into some dealer's hand, he's like, why don't I shake a little baby powder in here?
Starting point is 00:53:34 Right, right. With a little fentanyl and see if I can just... Cut it up. Some laxative. It all works. Yeah, get some pencil shavings. The real question is,
Starting point is 00:53:43 where do these chemists get all the energy to come up with this stuff? Can you imagine? What's the arc of that chemist, too? It's like a chemist who is super promising, and then it's like, I also got a bad coke problem, man. So I think I'm just going to switch gears and start working for them. Because I got some ideas, man. And join my drug dealer. Yeah i don't know it's it makes sense overall given like what we're dealing with you know given what we taught in our special
Starting point is 00:54:16 interview expert episode yesterday like what private equity is doing where they're just like taking over every business in the country and cutting staffing so that everybody just has to work like twice as hard it makes sense that the drug of the moment would be something that gives people the energy to keep up with this right as we all just become like husks of a human existence. It's like, how about this for a little animation? Yeah. But yeah, it's back in a big way, folks. Big way.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yo, you know that fentanyl is the leading cause of death for men between 18 and 49? Leading. Leading. That's incredible. That's horrible. Yeah. I mean, that's the other thing that fucking like this story like a lot of people I've known people who died from trying to do cocaine and
Starting point is 00:55:09 they're being fentanyl in it like that's happening a lot now yeah and again I think also like to your point about we've talked about like just deaths of despair that's like a whole category of death that like we're not actually reckoning with and yeah just again like adding to this feeling of oh society's creeping into like this weird like stop in a weird way but you know when you look at
Starting point is 00:55:31 like again i hate to keep talking about private equity but like when you think about how much job loss and access to wealth are things uh that are cut off from these kinds of like business moves and the effects it has on people especially people people who like, you know, like need to work to survive. All adding to like this, this background hum of like. But what about the teenagers, guys? How do the young teenagers keep up in this world if they don't have access to cocaine? How are they to keep up in this world where private equity is? Are you pitching us a business?
Starting point is 00:56:05 I am. It's called Adderall. Well, there's that. But what if you can't get access? There is a shortage of that. And that's where my good friend Logan Paul comes in. I want to tell you guys about Prime. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Prime Hydration is a beverage that Logan Paul launched last year with KSI, another YouTuber. And it became like the Tickle Me Elmo of last year. There weren't enough of it. Reports of people having a bottle, keeping the empty bottle, and then charging people $100 to take a picture with the empty bottle for social media purposes because you just couldn't get access to the drink. So dystopian, for sure. The drink has the legally... I have to think this is the maximum legal amount of caffeine that you can put in something. 200 milligrams of caffeine. That seems to be where every like highly caffeinated drink or product maxes out at 200 milligrams.
Starting point is 00:57:21 But that is what they're giving children in like kind of small doses i know you're the like the caffeine fact god what how does that rank because i like every time we talk about caffeinated drinks i was like how many milligrams because like you kind of have an idea what like what's a cup of coffee is the other one that okay is maxed out at 200 milligrams. Nothing has more than 200 as far as I know. And even like caffeine pills have 200 milligrams. What's the Coca-Cola got? Coca-Cola is like in the 30s, usually, I think, or 40s. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:57:56 I think Diet Coke is in the 60s. And like Mountain Dew, I don't think it even cracks 100. Oof. But yeah, these are highly highly yeah these are oh they're saying it has twice as much as Red Bull yeah yeah yeah okay it's cool have you seen the videos though where people like to your point about how like it's become the most sought after thing like people are stunting on TikTok with how much fucking like prime they have in their fridge no yes like this kind of shit people are like whoa what's in my fridge all prime bro like it looks like for my grab and goes for my kids
Starting point is 00:58:32 if they don't have time to make a protein drink or an electrolyte drink before they leave for their practices for their sports they play i like these prime drinks because if you look at they don't have any artificial colors. They're naturally flavored. They have BCAAs. They also have electrolytes that come from coconut water and they only have two grams of sugar. But but 200 milligrams of fucking caffeine. Anyway, so like there's I've seen so many videos like this where there's like families being like, we got the icy pop.
Starting point is 00:59:03 We got cherry. And it's like you think people are doing like a money phone type thing with the amount of prime yeah this is the new money phone is just having a fucking prime so this is like uh you know you throw some vodka in there some whiskey in there and you party hard failure right that's yeah but that's like young people they don't they don't fuck with alcoholic beverages they They just. Oh, they got all the good pills. You're right. Yeah. They're just slamming borgs, dude.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Got young people laugh at us with how we try to get high. Yeah. Well, yeah, because they're like, these motherfuckers are dead. Like they're trying to die. Like, look at how they partied in the. Yeah, I get high through this weird music. I listen to. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Like, I don't get high if my headphones run out of batteries. That's when I'm in a bad way. You've got the fucking shakes. I get high from getting my friend's pronouns right. Thank you. Boom. Thank you, sir. You honor us.
Starting point is 00:59:55 You're welcome. I nailed you both. So, I mean, you are counting on teenagers to consume, like, one of these a day, which I just can't imagine that's going to happen. And like there's there's all sorts of laws in place or like that people have tried to put laws in place. Like in 2017 in South Carolina, a teenager died due to caffeine induced cardiac event causing a probable arrhythmia. Countries like Lithuania and Latvia already have active bans on energy drinks that have this much caffeine in them. But here in the U.S., back in 1980, the FDA attempted to crack down on caffeine and soda. But the soda companies, who you might
Starting point is 01:00:39 recognize as having a little bit more money than the FDA, argued caffeine wasn't actually a psychoactive drug and therefore subject to regulation. Rather, caffeine is a flavor enhancer. A? Tell me, what exactly does caffeine taste like? Yeah, like, is there some, like, a soda sommelier who's like, oh, wow, finishes very strongly with caffeine? Like, were they even able to say able to say it enhances this flavor?
Starting point is 01:01:08 They're just saying, no, it's in the category of flavor enhancer. Leave us alone. They're just lying, I think. Yeah. Surge had 68, by the way. Yeah. Surge!
Starting point is 01:01:19 68. Not even shit. That's more than, this one says more than Mountain Dew. Yeah. I think Mountain Dew has crept up into the 70s but i could be wrong yeah this is 54 but i don't know i just got two different uh numbers for surge also so i don't know it's hard to know yeah is it caffeine informer that's the that's my go-to um no i'm using that's my website uh google google okay yeah cspi net but anyway you you have to get an annual
Starting point is 01:01:49 subscription to caffeine informer to uh really know the oh for sure no i had my dad's login but so stimulant medication with caffeine obviously has to include warnings but energy drinks which have far more caffeine, are somehow free to market themselves with no warnings at all, or were for a long time. I think that might be changing. A Senate investigation began looking into these drinks and specifically how they market their products to teenagers like Monster and Rockstar and decided that their products were actually foods, not dietary supplements after all. So Prime didn't originate the problem, but it's really at the outer limits
Starting point is 01:02:29 of how much caffeine you can put in a product and how much you can market yourself to teenagers. Do you think they're doing that too? So when kids drink it, they're like, oh, this shit is fucking hitting. You know what I mean? Because you have access to Red Bull or fucking Monster and shit, drink it they're like oh this shit is fucking hitting you know what i mean because like as you have access to like red bull or fucking monster and shit but then you come through with something
Starting point is 01:02:50 with twice that like it feels like the intention is to also to get the consumers to talk about how this new fucking bag is just hitting oh of course yeah yeah and you're not getting it and just drinking one right like you're probably gonna like going to like try to, you know, be stupid. Trying to get somewhere. Right. Trying to get somewhere, man. I want a full personality change. I want to have a different personality after I'm done drinking.
Starting point is 01:03:17 I want to drink enough that I'm on fentanyl. It's wild. It's like, as just yesterday, KSI logan paul were in like copenhagen promoting the drink wow and a lot of people suspect it may have been like set up kind of marketing because a bunch of like their fans just started throwing prime at them oh wow like like they were getting doused with it and like even on tmz they're like like who knows about histrionics they're like and it could just be a very clever way to get us talking about this, because here we are. It was kind of the literal like what was written in the article.
Starting point is 01:03:52 So I don't know. But yeah, they it's fucking everywhere. And like Europe, it's really popular. KSI is like a huge Arsenal fan and somehow Arsenal got like there's like prime branding around the football club. And I'm like, this is fucking bad, dude. It truly seems like just taking a, like, no-dose caffeine pill and water. But with branding added onto it. All right, tell me if you think this is real.
Starting point is 01:04:17 This is them at their prime tour and they're getting, somehow, suddenly the crowd turns on them. They're getting doused. But everyone's like laughing. Like the security's even like, all right, that was a good bit. I know nothing bad is actually happening.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Yeah. You can't bring European security in on your bits. Come on. It's hard to connect with your idols. And sometimes the only thing you can do because of distance is just hit them with something. And then be like, me and Logan Paul hung out today.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Yeah, we had a laugh. We had a nice little... Wow, people keep throwing it at them. There's like multiple things they went through. I wonder if Prime just turns people into fucking animals and they're like we love it man yeah you know anything like you give the fans on like whatever day at the ballpark is gonna end up on the field on the field yeah yeah this is a bobblehead right yeah
Starting point is 01:05:18 right right because that'll end up on ebay yeah it's weird how like you can go to dodger game and like if it's a if it's a bad night, these are going on the field. Other things, they're never throwing bobbleheads. They never throw bobbleheads. Would you like a snowstorm of inflatable bats? Yeah. Oh, speaking of dropping your baby, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Oh, okay. At Dodger Stadium, but I regret it. You regret not dropping your baby? Because I had this moment. I had a SportsCenter moment and and i failed oh to like catch a fly ball i had my baby in my arms uh-huh yeah the fly ball came directly towards me yeah i put out my right hand it hit me in the palm and i dropped it uh if i'd had two hands 100 catch yeah and you told your you told your son that right it dropped well dropped. I would have caught that. Well, I will. I'm waiting until he can understand me, but I'm going to fucking ream him out.
Starting point is 01:06:08 So the ball dropped and I went for it, but some lady scooped it up beforehand. Again, I still have the kid in my arms. Yeah. So then the lady heard my story. Kid's first baseball game. Yeah. Gave us the ball. Gave you the ball.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Shout out to that. But it's still not as good of a story as it could be. You know that doesn't make you a man, right? Because you would have caught that shit. I don't care. Buddy, I know. That's why I can't tell the story without it being sad. You just lie to your son?
Starting point is 01:06:35 What about this baseball? Oh, you should have seen it. I'm going to tell him he caught it. Yeah. Well, yeah, I was going to say it would be like a hyper, like extreme prime version of the like choose the ball or choose death scene from you know you got to catch this ball kid because it's public too it didn't get on tv but i had a friend in the stadium who saw it wow that was in front of
Starting point is 01:07:00 me that i just found out about two days ago. There must have been a collective holding of breath when people saw a foul ball speeding at you while you were holding a baby, right? Was there a... It's hard to gauge. Yeah, yeah. They were all relieved when I just dropped it. Yeah, good. You would have been
Starting point is 01:07:20 the wrong kind of on SportsCenter if you had chosen otherwise. Yeah, I would have made it to the real i commend you yeah nick turner as always such a pleasure having you where can people find you follow you experience you all that good stuff um you know i don't know i i'm out there but um i did want to i want to talk about my favorite new podcast please Please.
