Starting point is 00:02:18 i was like a cia thing like did a little research i think it was just basically i think cold war just like it was just like you know just some more nationalism to tap into kansas city missouri 1955 that's the red white and blue like rocket pop one yeah it's like blue white and red like like kind of yeah yeah yeah i was called the rocket pop i always and i did always associate it with militarism as you should as how's your handshake miles how? How do people greet you? Do they say, ah, firm handshake there? God damn. What the fuck was that, dude?
Starting point is 00:02:51 What do you have to prove? Yeah, I'm like, a lot. My handshake, pretty good. There was a time I remember. Hey, nice to meet you. You think you're better than me. Oh, what's up, man? My face says, nice to meet you.
Starting point is 00:03:02 My hand says, do you think you're better than me? I'm wearing a brace on my hand says do you think you're better than i'm wearing a brace on my hand from an injury then you shouldn't have extended it for one of my handshakes then you shouldn't have come at the king my name is jack o'brien aka christmas hams forearms fit for carving. Donald Trump cannot help but compare. Christmas hams. Biceps big as oil. Drums shelter him and he hasn't a care. Big strong arms to carry Donald home.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Please. Big strong arms to carry Donald home. And so forth. That is courtesy of Axe Hubs on the Discord. His obsession with big strong arms continues to be a weird thing about Donald Trump. Did you catch the video of him seemingly having an orgasm at a lectern? Oh, yeah. Where he's like doing the weak like...
Starting point is 00:04:03 But it just goes on for entirely too long. Right. You can't have a firm handshake with ham shake. Wow. Wow. Ham shake.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Now we're coming up with these ideas. Christmas ham shake. Yeah. What I meant to say was handshake with, you know, you can't do it
Starting point is 00:04:20 without big, strong arms. Big, strong arms to carry Donald home. It's where it comes from. People don't realize. It's not the vice. It's. It's where it comes from. People don't realize. It's not the biceps. It's the shoulders where that strength comes from. But that was part of a long riff.
Starting point is 00:04:30 He was in Oakland, Michigan. No, Oakland County. To be honored as man of the decade. And he was delivering a speech this past weekend where he was making fun of women for not having. I think it was trans athletes or something. Yeah, it was like a trans athlete thing. I think it was actually a transphobic thing. But everyone was like, I think he was trans athletes. Yeah, it was like a trans athlete thing. I think it was actually a transphobic thing. But everyone was like, I think he's coming.
Starting point is 00:04:47 But yeah, it was about arm strength. And he went on for 15 seconds sounding like he was coming all over the place. I'm coming. Whoa, another thing. Think of pumping iron, too. That was something Arnold Schwarzenegger would say. Feels like I'm coming. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Feels like I'm coming in the gym. It feels like I'm coming at home. Cool, Arnold. Cool, Arnold. Also, ham shake might be the Hamburglar's answer to the Grimace shake. We might be facing that in the not-too-distant future. I'm thrilled to be
Starting point is 00:05:19 joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! It's Miles Gray, a.k.a. All the A.E. kids with their hot dog dicks Better run, better run, outrun their buns All the A.E. kids with their hot dog dicks Better run, better run, faster than their glizzies So, for context, Lockaroni hit us up in the Discord. American Eagle put up a picture of, like 4th of July underwear with like the American flag on it.
Starting point is 00:05:50 But with the crotches is like a big cock sleeve, but like, but it's printed as a hot dog on the outside. I had no idea about this. I had no idea about this, folks. No idea about this. I would not have. And it's our job to know about this stuff. But thank you, La La La La Caroni for sharing that with us yeah it's haunting yeah and american eagle one of the brands that got taken over by private equity at one point and kind of driven into the ground
Starting point is 00:06:17 but you know a true american comeback story i guess we can call it. Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the very talented writer, stand-up comedian, podcast host of the Bechdel cast, which is just one of the great podcasts out there. Also happens to have a master's degree in film, the most anagrammable name in the English language. It is Caitlin Durante! Caitlin! Hello, 9 to Dracula. 9 to Dracula in the building. the english language yes it is caitlin durant dracula here for duty what's the reporting for duty i i oh did someone call lauren d titanic it's yeah it's me i've been thinking so much about you did you want what's my other one
Starting point is 00:07:07 Latin dancer UTI yeah here I am Lauren D Titanic is so appropriate too I've been thinking about you since all the submarine stuff going down to the Titanic
Starting point is 00:07:23 and I'm glad you were with us within a week of that yeah quasi tragedy or whatever whatever we're calling it had you been given a scholarship to be on the submersible to go down to the titanic like does that sort of thing interest you to like see the titanic in person you you are notably one of the biggest fans of the film Titanic. That's true, yes. One of the noted builders of the Titanic Lego set.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Bathtub-sized Titanic Lego set. You're right. All true. However... But do you want to get down there and look at the moss-covered remnants of the wreck? Not even a little bit. Okay okay maybe if it was on dry
Starting point is 00:08:09 land but i'm terrified and and i was terrified of submarines before it was cool to be terrified why would happen what's your problem yeah i would never go water deeper than like 10 feet in any capacity. Right. Yeah. Pool depth even, when you get to the bottom of the deep end, it really hurts. It does. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:34 And getting back up to the surface, you're not sure if you're going to make it sometimes. Oh, no. How are you swimming? Put a lot of ankle weights on. Very recklessly. Yeah, no. How are you swimming? Put a lot of ankle weights on. Very recklessly. Yeah, right. No, but yeah, I'm very afraid of deep water.
Starting point is 00:08:51 So I never do that. Okay, so I'm guessing there's like levels to it, right? Some people are a fan of the entirety of Titanic, right? The idea, like they romanticize it. And some to the point where like the tragedy too has drawn me in that they want to see it. Are you a fan of the film, the boat itself? Does that have any intrigue or it's all really just the film? You're like, I don't give a shit about the real life. It's honestly mostly the film, but because I like the movie so much, it's like other things, boat lore and, you know, Titanic lore.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I enjoy them just sort of as a byproduct of liking the movie the same way that i like bears because paddington is a bear right right i mostly just like but you're not the paddington movies yeah you're not going to alaska to fuck around with like some grizzlies or anything no no thank you i will not put myself in danger in any way just because i like a movie a relevant movie you do hold inside you like the two urges the two interests that seem to kill people so like that because the the thing that the titanic wreck reminded me of was grizzly man it was like oh we all like you he you talked to experts ahead of his last expedition where he went and like played with the grizzlies and they were like that man is going to get killed like the next time he does this probably and uh sure what happened
Starting point is 00:10:18 yeah yeah well there's there's an article i saw recently about how there's like there's more interest from like wealthy people to do extreme travel good great and like one of the people who like founded like a company that would do stuff in partnership with ocean gate i was saying like a lot of customers like were interested in quote bragging rights which makes so it's like trump's mindset too with these documents just merely to say that you fucking went and did that yeah i also because rich people don't have like real problems no yeah they have to like invent stress in their life i think they're like i have no existential threats so i'm gonna get in a janky submarine yeah it's like that movie the game if we remember that anyway i think we do
Starting point is 00:11:07 i think we do caitlin thank you it's truly it does seem like there is something about becoming extremely wealthy and just going through a day-to-day life where you are completely avoid like you don't don't encounter consequences even once that yeah people do some wild shit i wonder they're in the thing like isn't this cool we could die in here yeah yeah that's why i'm on it what about you yeah yeah same what about teenagers over in the corner like oh jesus christ christ i'm just trying to set a guinness record for doing a rubik's cube at the deepest depth wasn't that the thing the kid was trying to do? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah, that 19-year-old. Yeah, had a Rubik's cube with him. And I think was going after some kind of Guinness record for like deepest Rubik's cube. Well, didn't the record just get broken a few days ago? It was like 3.13 seconds. Someone solved a Rubik's cube. seconds. Someone solved a Rubik's Cube. I think he was going for the record for
Starting point is 00:12:05 deepest depth to solve a Rubik's Cube. Well, that's what I'm doing when I swim into the deep end in the pool. I'm down there for so long because I'm trying to solve a Rubik's Cube. No air tank.
Starting point is 00:12:22 No air tank. Deepest, darkest. My head is like a shark fin deepest bluest yeah deepest bluest yeah that's right remember when remember when those soundtracks had those titular tracks from like the talent on that soundtrack where it's like i'm not gonna make a song about sharks ever but i'm ll cool j and i'm in this shark movie and guess what guess what's happening get a fee to get on this soundtrack. We're going to cut to credits and you're going to hear me rap the plot of the song.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Was he in Shark's Tale? No, Deep Blue Sea. Deep Blue Sea. Deepest Bluest. Yeah. My hat? Okay. Now it's making sense. I was like, there's only one shark movie, right? And it's Shark's Tale.
Starting point is 00:13:07 But that was Will Smith. And he is most, you know, probably the most notable example of somebody who does movie plot rap songs. He really does do that. Yeah. All right, Caitlin, 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 things that we're talking about. Trump's counter attack on a couple stories are coming into focus. Kind of. He had an interview with ABC where he was like, I was just showing I was bluffing. I was just kidding on that tape. that tape is what you hear on that tape is my incredible sense of humor essentially those aren't napkins rustling those aren't documents even though i said they were yeah he's also countersuing eugene carroll who he was a jury found that
Starting point is 00:14:00 he sexually abused her and he is suing her for saying that he raped her so again just you know deny loudly and aggressively and yeah but with no logic to this no logic whatsoever there's like you've already been it's it's confirmed what you've been what what's happened here but he's just going off because she's she's suing him again because when he denied it at the cnn town hall like the very next day that decision came in for the first case on counter suits on suits and just tie everything up in the course we're going to talk about food waste uh there is a new technology that might help with food waste we'll talk about tom hanks's niece from the rita side Yeah, the Wilson side.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you seen this? You heard about this, Caitlin? Claim to fame? Oh, buckle up. I was not aware of the show Claim to Fame before this clip. Same, same. She did them a real solid, this reaction.
Starting point is 00:14:59 So it's a reality show where people come on, they have famous relatives, and the other famous relatives have to guess who they're related to. Oh. And she is the first eliminated. Took it like a champ. Exactly. Interesting. Took it like a champ.
Starting point is 00:15:15 So we'll listen to the reaction. It's a lot of fun. All of that. Plenty more. But first, Caitlin, we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history okay so i looked up shrek makeup naturally because yeah you did like what that tone is like what do you put this well i'll tell you so someone had sent me a YouTube video. Ever heard of it?
Starting point is 00:15:46 No. Hold on. What now? Big fan. YouTube rocks. Guys, have you seen these YouTube videos? YouTube rocks. Their new marketing campaign.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Got YouTube? Yeah. Okay. Got YouTube. got youtube yeah okay got so the youtube video is it's entitled rating shrek movies costumes on historical accuracy so it's from it's incredible right it's from user carolina zabrowska who i don't know this is the only video of hers i've watched, but I'm guessing she's an expert in clothes and history and the clothes that people wore throughout history. So she has watched all of the Shrek movies and rated the costumes based on historical accuracy. I was watching this and I was like, wow, this is great.
Starting point is 00:16:41 And it reminded me of something someone else sent me, which was a link to Shrek makeup. So I had to Google that and be like, oh, yeah, remember Shrek makeup? So it's from this company called Revolution. And they have a whole line of Shrek makeup. line of Shrek makeup. And by what I mean by that is eyeshadows that come in a case
Starting point is 00:17:10 that looks like Shrek's head. Oh, yo. It looks like a Polly Pocket or something. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think some of the makeup is you can get like green lipstick I want to say there's fun.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Oh, yeah. They got the green lipstick. Swamp clay mask. What? Ginger bread. Something. Highlighter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Gingy highlighter. Wow. Oh, a makeup headband with the Shrek ears. So when you pull the hair back, you can still. That's fun. Okay. I'm sorry. This is for who? For Shrek fans who wear makeup.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Right, but... Okay. The top says... Yeah, I'm sorry. What's your question? Can we go up to the top of this page? It has Shrek collabo with Revolution and then it says get out of my swamp! Next to Shrek that is that like one of his catchphrases uh yeah yeah he does not like it when people are in his swamp yeah yeah okay and
Starting point is 00:18:13 he said get out it's just i think of like fun tween makeup stylings as not that not being the part of shrek's personality that I want to emphasize. Well, clearly you haven't really... I don't get the angst that drives one to Shrek. You really need to get better acquainted with Shrek because if you were, you would know that this makes perfect sense. That you just want to be Shrek.
Starting point is 00:18:42 You want that swamp aesthetic. Yeah. Okay. i might try this what is something caitlin you think is overrated i think that and this might be controversial but i think that nachos are overrated especially the kind you get as like at a restaurant when they like load on a bunch of you know ground beef and cheese and cream the sour cream and all that stuff i think the flavors are good but the execution is bad because they all get the chips get soggy almost immediately it is very hard to get a good like distribution of all the toppings onto one chip yeah because you got one that's like nothing but beef which is gonna be my new catchphrase nothing but beef yeah get out of my swamp and if you come in my swamp, there's nothing but beef here for you. Exactly. Yeah. And then other ones, it's like, you know, only sour cream.
Starting point is 00:19:48 It's just, I think, again, poorly executed. How would you optimize? Because my biggest, you know, gripe with bad nachos at a restaurant is it's all top heavy. Like, yeah. Yeah. And then, and so you have it all on top and then underneath is just a bunch of dry chips and then you got to kind of use those to like scrape out the top i like when people layer them i'm not i'm not as upset about the crunchiness because for me i just want to have
Starting point is 00:20:14 just shit on every chip basically is how i look at it but how would you optimize if we're going to get around this i think we just need to do and this is a this will become a surface area problem because you're going to need a big ass tray yeah but just like one single layer of chips and then the toppings evenly distribute so you're talking like a tray it's going to need to be like 14 feet three by three feet kind of thing yeah The best strategy I've ever witnessed, my friend Blake in high school, shout out Blake, went through and would put cheese on each chip and then a dollop of salsa, like on top of the cheese. And that would keep it from getting, and then you put it in the microwave. but it is truly the best way to do nachos is think of each chip as its own moment, its own nacho that you are,
Starting point is 00:21:08 as opposed to just dumping chips out and then like kind of scattering toppings across. They're not just numbers on a spreadsheet, man. Yeah. They're individual chips. Yeah. I get it.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Each chip is a moment. That's beautiful. Restaurant nachos are, are a real mess that That I still love. I just... Do you order them though? I feel like I have to... There always needs to be one person who's really into nachos to order nachos.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Should we do the nachos, guys? Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm like, well, you know, I was like, because they look really good. I'm like, fine, yeah, fuck it, get the nachos. Yeah, they always look good. Yeah. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:21:47 But you go after nachos pretty consistently, Caitlin? No, I avoid them for the reason that I think they're overrated. Oh, so if someone said, hey, should we get them? You're like, let me actually tell you why. Everyone open up your phone. I say, um, actually. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:01 I promised myself I wouldn't do this today. But... Yeah. So I'm like, let's get whatever. I wouldn't do this today but yeah so I'm like let's get whatever I don't know the sampler platter clearly I'm only going to Applebee's like restaurants I'm like let's get the mozzarella sticks but no nachos for me yeah
Starting point is 00:22:20 I love to get some nachos I have ordered nachos as a main course before. Wow. Brave. Just eat them by myself. Pardon me. Fending people off with my arms. What's something that you think is underrated, Caitlin?
Starting point is 00:22:39 I hope this ages well because anytime I'm like, wow, this man who I like i'll say that and then like a year or some amount of time later he turns out to be a awful person yeah um so hopefully that's not the case for this person but i think wesley snipes is underrated i think he rocks and i wish he had a more a career that was like still as illustrious as it was, you know, a few decades ago. Yeah. So like the, it really peaked in the like mid to late nineties there for him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:15 But so clearly, you know, you don't consider being a tax cheat, being a terrible person. Cause that's why we stopped liking him on this show yeah we're like hold on income tax evasion no no not our king i if look if i thought i could get away and i'm also gonna regret saying this but i if i could get away with tax evasion because with the way the government's spending my money on too much military etc i don't want to pay those taxes either if they're gonna be you know allocated to horrible shit so i don't think that tax evasion is that bad of a crime there i said yeah yeah yeah i mean that's that's my inner fed talking sorry kind of been on a different one since earlier this week i didn't know that did you know that his apartment was destroyed in the 9-11 attack oh my gosh no yeah just reading it wasn't even in
Starting point is 00:24:10 manhattan it was just he was so upset he says his apartment in new york was destroyed by the collapse of the world trade center's twin towers he was on the west coast yeah damn okay wesley but yeah i don't know like i feel like what's your favorite wesley snipes film oh my gosh well i love demolition man thank you and i he's also so great in too long foo yeah um obviously jackson wasn't that his character's name in which one and too long foo wasn't it like noxema jackson yeah, yeah. I'm pretty sure that's it. Yeah. And then I've only seen the first Blade movie.
Starting point is 00:24:48 I have to watch the others. But he's great as a, you know, half vampire slash vampire hunter. Daywalker. Exactly. Yeah. It's the scientific term. Daywalker. I promised myself I wouldn't say this, but Daywalker.
Starting point is 00:25:06 He has a line in Blade. Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill. According to the writer of that film, Wesley Snipes just happened to be saying that. He overheard him using it in conversation and was like, well, your characters probably say that, right? That's really cool. He's just actually, yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:31 it's true. He is a Wesley Snipes, both on and off camera. Yeah. Love it. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about how Trump was just kidding on that tape.
Starting point is 00:25:43 JK. Talk about how Trump was just kidding on that tape. J.K. 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.
Starting point is 00:26:17 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 00:28:48 and we're back and so beginning of the week cnn leaked the tape where trump was like look at these pentagon documents i gave they gave them to me. Isn't it bad that I'm showing them to you? Because I could have declassified them when I was president, but now I can't. And that's illegal. And the person he was talking to was like, what did they say? They were like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:17 it could be trouble. They were like, yeah, well, now it's a problem. Now it's a problem. Isn't that interesting? Can we get some cokes in here yeah that's interesting that's nothing nothing but beef yeah that's what i think you bazinga so now in an abc interview that happened on his plane he said he was holding up newspaper articles and magazine clippings uh while claiming they were classified documents to the person like so he was just doing and then he's like i'm i'm messy i'm a messy man look i have documents all over the place look
Starting point is 00:29:53 at look at my desk right here on the plane and like was like so i was just grabbing things and being like oh look at this it's classified he said at one point he goes did i use the word plans what i'm referring to is magazines newspapers plans of buildings i had plans of buildings you know building plans i had plans of a golf course yeah lots of plans there are things that are called plans that can so you're so incoherent you'll talk to somebody and say mark milley wanted me to attack attack iran and here are the plans on how to do that. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:30:26 You see? And they go, ooh. But you're saying those are just a golf course schematics, maybe? I think it was a little bravura, to be honest with you. I don't think bravura. Braggadocio. Bravado. Bravado.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yes. Yeah. In addition to not passing any sort of logic test, like from a legal perspective, even if he was holding up newspaper articles like he is still making it clear that he recognized that he had classified documents when sharing them would be a problem. and then also it just like who made this tape wasn't it the people who were there made the tape like won't aren't doesn't that indicate that they are cooperating witnesses already and can be like no he was he wasn't showing us a time
Starting point is 00:31:18 magazine yeah with him on the cover because then it's like a non issue like I don't know this dude's lost it he said these were plans to attack Iran. And he was holding a little flip book. That's where he was at. I think it's just I mean, you know, CNN released them, but I think Trump leaked them. that leaked them when you really think about it because this is like he did the same thing with the ukraine call when all that was coming out they're like what was going on in that call he goes before he was like get the transcripts out look at the transcripts and then he released them and everyone's like this is fucking bad for you bro yeah and i think he has this pattern of of like say like wanting to just get the shit out there so then he thinks he's getting ahead of it
Starting point is 00:32:04 but really it's just so incriminating that it just looks terrible on his part and it just i don't know it follows that same logic path for him of being like they say it's bad get the tapes out and from like things i've been reading that like that evidence had been floating around the his like legal team since like march right so i don't know rather than being able to because right now all he's doing is like this jack smith did this because he's bad and mean but yeah this fall this this falls into the same pattern of here this thing that doesn't exonerate me exonerates me is it like when serial killers like want to be caught right please do me in please yeah like when they call the you know newspaper and they're like i've left a bunch of clues i'm the zodiac killer they're like oh did you not know about metadata
Starting point is 00:32:56 btk guy yeah you know to block your number when you call a police station yeah like btk killer got caught because he was like sending clues that were just had the metadata of like what computer they were coming from like attached to them people were at first like ah he was doing that on purpose because he wanted to get caught and then the deeper people looked they were like no he was just dumb like he just didn't didn't know that he thought he was smarter than he was, which always seems to be the case with the extremely wealthy and with Trump in particular.
Starting point is 00:33:31 But yeah, I do like the idea of him leaking them. It's similar to the submarine guy who's telling all these lies about how safe the submarine was. But then he got on the submarine guy who's like telling all these lies about how safe the submarine was but then like he got on the submarine so like he both told lies and then convinced himself with his lies that it was safe enough to go down there so yeah like yeah i i can totally the only people that trump is talking to on a day-to-day basis are yes men like just sick of fans surrounding so it's totally plausible that he leaked it was like this will show them well it's the same way too like if on that tape he's like look at this he's like i win my case and people are like yeah because they were trying to
Starting point is 00:34:16 insurrect you even before you were insurrected they're like what are you just saying back to him right now like it's just a bunch of nonsense yeah so and then you know so articles are speculating this could signal his new legal strategy where he's claiming that he was showing different documents than he was but it really feels like his he's just telling lies that get him to the end of whatever conversation he's in at the moment yeah like yeah that's as far in advance he's just keeping the plates spinning basically that's what's kind of interesting because i know jack you've been talking a lot i don't know if it was on mic or off mic just about his intent
Starting point is 00:34:54 with keeping the documents and what that is and how confounding it is to people it's like what what is it and then even now you're like it may just be that this dude is just such a fucking braggart that he's like, I got to have these things too. And it's, there are a few people that started writing articles about like, how, how was the prosecution?
Starting point is 00:35:13 Like, what are they going to say his intent is or whatever. And it's like, it might just be as easy as this guy doesn't think the fucking rules apply to him. And he likes to bandy about these like sensitive documents to like wow people he thought it was a cool thing to have in his office you know or in his bathroom that's his new legal defense yeah your honor he thought it would be a cool thing to have to show that's it
Starting point is 00:35:38 like truly and like that that is kind of the most defensible interpretation, but it also does feel like it might be that stupid. It's just he thought this was cool and was trying to impress women with it. Which just shows like how he's in this phase right now. He's just going, he's trusting his worst instincts and just doubling down on them right now. Like you'd imagine with all these trials going on or all this legal jeopardy he's in, just to be like, just shut the fuck up or whatever, but he can't. And I think it's only making him a little
Starting point is 00:36:12 like, you're just like with release and potentially leaking this tape and how he's handling that. It just seems like he's all out of sorts. And even like with this E. Jean Carroll thing, like he's just going back to like, oh, you sue me? I'm going to sue you. And you're like, but for what, dude? This this doesn't even make sense like you're just giving your lawyers money for nothing right now yeah her saying the word rape sullied his otherwise sterling reputation
Starting point is 00:36:35 after a jury had just found out that he sexually found that he sexually abused her right and they're splitting hairs like legal semantics basically yeah yeah and this is all again like i said at the top this happened right after eugene carroll won the five million dollars in the first defamation case he did that town hall and just opened himself up for another lawsuit he's like she's lying she's a whack job i don't even know her it's not true and they're like sir you just got in trouble for saying this yeah and she's like and now she's coming for 10 million dollars which yeah may probably probably win that one too but yeah this is just all i think it just shows that i think he's like in this place now where he has
Starting point is 00:37:16 to just get one over or attack other people and no one's even telling just maybe not this one but i guess his lawyer's like fine we'll go to court and look even stupider than we already have to. Yeah. Let's talk food waste. There's there's always horrifying stats about just the amount of food that actually goes uneaten. Like the food that's produced, like 40 percent of food is wasted in the United States? Yeah, of on earth. So roughly 1.3 billion metric tons of food produced in the world goes uneaten. Yeah, 40% of that is right here. It's approximately 130 billion meals, if you add it up like what
Starting point is 00:37:59 that means, but just from United States waste alone. And then on top of it transporting the uneaten food in the united states this puts about the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere as 42 coal-fired power plants so just like putting it in the trash and having them take the trash and moving it around yeah yeah it's just it's a fucking like never-ending cycle and i was like oh fuck like i'm definitely guilty of like you know i can't tell you how many times i've had like a bag like a third of a bag of broccoli florets just fucking like dying in the back of my refrigerator and i'm like congealing into like broccoli jelly oh yeah and like the bag is looking back at me it was like
Starting point is 00:38:42 we were rooting for you i was like hey no i'm so fucked this up again. I know I wasn't supposed to do this. But yeah. So apparently now there's a student at SMU like invented a way to monitor in real time. The food has begun to spoil and it's just about like monitoring pH levels. So if a food has a higher pH level than normal, like a normal range, that would indicate spoiled food because then like fungi, bacteria can like proliferate in those kinds of environments. So those sudden changes can help tip people off about to be like, oh, there might be some food spoilage. And this student basically like created a strip that you could put into like food packaging. Like it's really small. like food packaging like it's really small it's not like some gigantic electronic thing like just using you know very simple electronics to measure like all of the concentration of like hydrogen
Starting point is 00:39:31 like in a in a given container or something like that and you can picture a system where like these things are scanned they send a measurement back to a computer and you can begin to understand like oh this is about to spoil this is fine this has this much shelf life uh and potentially i'd imagine like for at home too because there's times when in my mind i feel like i'll throw away things not all the time but when i see like the expiration date my first instinct is it's over but then the immigrant mother who's yelled at me all my life was like smell it first oh yeah that that's that's you got to and then i get up in it and then i'm like okay if it's got that sulfuric smell then maybe it's gone but yeah i've eaten so much expired quote-unquote expired oh for sure and i've also
Starting point is 00:40:15 eaten food that definitely was expired and rotting but i was like i can't throw this away oh so you're on the other side like you will you will go down with the ship i mean no i mean it depends on dairy no i won't but like i've eaten like definitely past its prime avocados bananas like produce i'm more likely to yeah to fuck with if it is actively rotting also i think that most of the food waste that does get thrown out is actually uneaten nachos because they're too soggy and no one was so you know yeah that's right it all comes back to nacho waste just send them my way nacho waste is in its own category. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:06 They actually don't count it because it would be too bad for the nacho industry. 3.5 billion metric tons. Yeah, yeah. People don't even know. It's the dark side of food waste. Yeah. This definitely makes sense. It's always felt like when you take a step back, like the idea that we just have this like estimate on the food packaging and then
Starting point is 00:41:27 the only other option is like i don't know maybe taste it see if like it makes you a little bit sick right if it doesn't then you can probably have a little bit more or just to optimize too to know like at a certain point of like moving produce to be like actually it needs to go to market now and if it can't go to like a store then send it to some kind of food pantry that can make use of the food right but just to get ahead of it rather than like oh the the shipment arrived and it's all fucked yeah gotta throw it away now send the trucks in to drive you know 42 coal coal-fired power plants worth of emissions across well there's that what's the thing there might be a few of them, but there's a food delivery service.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Imperfect foods. Yeah, because a lot of grocery stores won't sell food that they deem ugly or if it's misshapen or if a carrot looks like a penis. You've seen those. Oh, yeah. They won't sell them in the grocery store, and then most of that food gets thrown away. So there's all these things that we could be doing to eliminate food waste and on the other end of it i think that someone really needs to invent mr fusion from back to the future yeah yeah yeah to use the food waste
Starting point is 00:42:37 to the food yeah the food that is like does need to be thrown away we can recycle it and turn it into is it because all of our all of our memories of the mr fusion on the back of that delorean is putting a banana peel in the mr fusion yeah it's a yeah banana peel like maybe like a crumpled up napkin and then a can of i want to say like miller high life or something yeah the thing like It's also super... I know in France, they passed the law in the last couple of years that's basically saying large grocery
Starting point is 00:43:11 stores, it is illegal for you to throw food out. That's unsold. Yeah, that's how it should be. You have to donate it. Whereas we see constant things like on TikTok, you see workers being like, look how much shit we just threw away at Starbucks. Look at all this. Or grocery stores and things like that that and then we lock it up because we don't want people to access it because of this that and the other but i mean there's so many ways to like
Starting point is 00:43:33 optimize this but you know i think i think one one good step is for people just to have an idea of like when food is spoiling granted this solution is for a larger industrial level. Right. So two quick pitches. One, instead of being a subtle little strip, it's a countdown clock that makes a dramatic sound with every second that goes by. Like 24. Like 24. It's like ding, ding, ding, ding. And when you get within the last hour, it's like a really stressful countdown clock right oh it's like in the in lost when they have to put the numbers in the computer yeah and they wait too
Starting point is 00:44:10 long it's like hey motherfucker it's like your fridge starts shaking starts shaking a little bit probably not cost effective but if they could figure it out and then the other i thought you were gonna say this with i guess guess you pitched Mr. Fusion. Probably a better idea. But I thought you were going to say someone needs to invent a company that only sends out dick-shaped carrots. Because I did try and get venture capital funding for that. Stop trying to launch this business, Jack, on the show. We've had to edit this out every time you mention it.
Starting point is 00:44:41 And I feel like we can't edit around it this time. But we're not. you mentioned it. I feel like we can't edit around it this time, but we're not. Who else is tired of using the carrot peeler to just peel it down so it looks exactly like a dick every time? What if the carrots already came in that shape?
Starting point is 00:44:55 You know? And I would be the head of it. The philosopher king, Rene Dick Carrots. Like Descartes. It's a Cartesian thing. Don't worry about it. Oh, wow. That was good. Dick Carrots. Like Descartes. It's a Cartesian thing. Don't worry about it. Oh, that.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Wow. That was good. Dick Carrot. Renee Dick Carrot. Yeah. Anyways. But no, Mr. But are you are you how are you with the food waste, Jack?
Starting point is 00:45:26 when i waste food it's because of a personal fit like a disconnect between my purchasing decisions and the act of like my actual ability to have the energy to prepare the food when it comes time to yeah this made me like google there's a mayo clinic article seven ways to reduce food waste and like they talk about just taking an inventory before you go to the store or just like generally simple shit that i would never simplest thing that i would do i every time i've overbought it was because i didn't like oh do a thorough enough inventory yeah i overbuy butter so much half full butter things yeah but yeah i i don't know butter and produce i feel like i always i don't know they i i have learned now like we used to buy these like tubs of mixed greens it was like we're gonna eat some fucking salad salad everything every meal we eat is just gonna be a nice fresh
Starting point is 00:46:21 prepared salad as the base this week yeah and i i gave up on that like you know 10 15 years ago i think one of the things on that list should be like have real expect realistic expectations about what you're actually going to eat or have the energy to prepare because i'll buy a bunch of like six bananas in a bundle and i'm like let's be real caitlin you're not gonna eat a banana every day for six days in a row you're just not that healthy but know yourself because our family has never had a banana spoil on us like i think mainly because kids love bananas and like they're just a thing that they are like the original snack food that has its own wrapping you can just throw it in a backpack
Starting point is 00:47:08 and you know break it out I didn't realize your children were minions my youngest is kind of a minion wait do they eat bananas or something minions love bananas Miles? did you just ask him?
Starting point is 00:47:23 never mind oh my god sir why did I fucking Miles? Bud? Did you just ask him? Never mind. Oh my god, sir. Why did I fucking open my mouth? Just wait. You're going to look back in three, four years and be amazed at your ignorance of the Minions. PM pre-Minion life?
Starting point is 00:47:40 Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know. But I think the one thing that I've gotten better at doing is knowing when shit's gotten bad and then figuring out a way to fucking throw it all together yeah like the other day i made a bunch of like i overbought taco meat like you know i went to the carne asada like i got like prepared carne asada and things like that i thought a lot of people were going to be eating half the people were like already ate so i had all this like meat left over and like vegetables and things i was going to grill i just turned that shit into a big taco soup yeah and i was like i dodged a waste
Starting point is 00:48:14 bullet yeah soup and smoothies are the key to like when something's spoiling when the alarm starts going i was like and like the container starts shaking starts going off it's like ding ding ding ding and like the container starts shaking in your refrigerator it's time to get the blender out or it's time to get the you know slow cooker out and just dump that in there the the mayo clinic we'll link off to the mayo clinic article in the footnotes because it also is like here's a just basic soup recipe like just have these things on hand and you can always just dump like whatever your leftover things are in a pot with this stuff. Greens thrown greens in a smoothie, like thrown the mixed salad in with like some bananas and berries and, you know, almond milk. That works pretty well.
Starting point is 00:49:02 It's a good way to just choke down some some old lettuce this arugula smoothie's hitting when you were like oh yeah uh soups and and shake and smoothies i thought you were gonna say that you should make a taco smoothie yes and then And then that reminded me of ham shake. Ham shake. Oh, ham shake. Just an excuse to call back to ham shake. To ham shake.
Starting point is 00:49:33 I mean, give us your recipes, folks. Let us know. Specifically, if you have a recipe for a ham shake that you think is pretty good. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break, and then we are going to introduce you to our favorite new niece of Tom Hanks.
Starting point is 00:49:49 We'll be right back. Nepo niece. What do you call that? Nepo niece. I only speak Nepo niece. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
Starting point is 00:50:47 The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.
Starting point is 00:51:07 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. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Should we wake her up? 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?
Starting point is 00:51:38 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence
Starting point is 00:51:55 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? And this season, we're taking in a bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. The most popular cocktail is the margarita,
Starting point is 00:52:28 followed by the mojito from Cuba and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. We thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the
Starting point is 00:52:43 hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And claim to fame, you know know sometimes you just gotta hand it to the networks when they come up with a premise and it is like you guys know what you're good at this is that
Starting point is 00:53:15 that you you have done a nice job with this one this is a reality show i just became aware of where it's a bunch of people who are related to famous people and they but that it like who they are related to is a secret and Then they're like they have to like game it out and try and guess who the other one is and once somebody stands up in front of God and everyone and the panel the non-famous Jonas Brothers who hosts the show and Stand up and they say, I think your famous relative is,
Starting point is 00:53:49 if they guess it right, your ass is gone. What if you miss, though? Are you gone? You best not miss. You come for the king? You come for the king's cousin's nephew? You best not miss.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Best not miss. You come for the king's wife's sister's niece on that side then yeah but yeah this show uh again this prepare yourself because as the writer's strike goes on you're only going to start getting this unscripted like drama of just spectacle bullshit but this was quite the spectacle um how do we set this up so it's the first episode of season two or you know one of the early episodes of season two nobody's been voted off yet and wait somebody season two maybe i thought this was season one no oh we're way behind okay and the first like for the first time in this season, maybe it's the first episode.
Starting point is 00:54:49 I have to assume for pacing purposes is the first episode. Somebody says, I think I got it, folks. And stands up across from a young woman and says, I think your famous relation is tom hanks tom has and they then turn to the screen and it is revealed she is the niece of tom hanks and therefore eliminated from the show and then we get a great a great moment of just a measured response i think a measured response from her boy damn but she's walking away right now she's upset because one of the clues was about like one clue was that the like there was a movie poster that featured a
Starting point is 00:55:45 bench and she's like why would you do that fucking benches that's what she's screaming about benches right now yeah okay she's screaming she's screaming she's screaming why a bench why a bench there's literally no reference to benches on any other movie even gabriel found that out. He's not even like smart. For real? That's cold. They show Gabriel. It's like, what? I didn't even get to do any challenges. I did not have that level of drama
Starting point is 00:56:18 for the first guess off on my claim to fame bingo card. I don't deserve this. Yes. I should have more camera time i should be here longer and we're only on guess off number one i think the right choice was made no one expected that no one no one expected that no one no one oh she wanted more screen time so that she could be not just the niece of Tom Hanks. Is she trying to be the next Tom Hanks?
Starting point is 00:56:49 I don't know. I feel like every relative goes on this show being like, one day Tom Hanks is probably going to go on this show. And people are going to be like, I don't know who that loser is related to. And then it'll be revealed. It's me. And everyone will be like, whoa. You're that lady's uncle that is such a like as someone who is watching people raise kids like i'm seeing how that this form of behavior has probably been happening forever like to like be like i should have got this and you're like no you you came on a show okay this
Starting point is 00:57:27 isn't we're not talking about human rights here you came on a game show where you were using what little leverage you had to make yourself appealing to a television network to get on a show and guess what the the context of it was people were going to try and guess who you're related to. And you had your you had your moment there. I don't deserve this. I should have had more. I should have more camera time is just a two sentence summation of a whole like 40 percent of the population, I feel like. Yeah, not a great look, not a great look. But hey, we love to see this. Yeah. Not a great look. Not a great look. But hey, we love to see this. And again, this is probably like I'm sure after like this clip is going like viral on the Internet. Yes. Okay. If we just get a bunch of people to embarrass themselves in their real lives in a reality show, maybe we don't need writers. And this is our new entertainment. Weird schadenfreude. So I had a meltdown. The irony now is that this is her claim to fame. Yeah. This meltdown.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Yeah. You are going to get more camera time because this clip will be played over and over and over again. Yeah. And you'll be known as the scary person who had a complete breakdown because you didn't get to compete in any challenges on a show that most of us didn't even know existed yeah yeah that i think that's the irony is that had you not done this honestly we wouldn't even known you were on the show so in a way you did help yourself so maybe she's actually a genius and this was all a very calculated thing to do what do you what could her next step what could her next move be i have to say i do fair point it's a it's an easy clue and i have to think that the producers of the show were like
Starting point is 00:59:13 all right we gotta get her out of here burn the uh the dead weight she's kind of not fun to watch on on camera but that this is the best use of someone who's not fun to watch on camera i'd argue she is fun to watch i guess yeah that's they they fucked up actually yeah so this is the producers of this show fucking up her response after the episode she posted on instagram so i had a meltdown say what you want i'm not spoiled or entitled or crazy i can just be a little expressive and vocal, shall we say. Deflecting from the moment you step in the house is not easy when everyone already suspects who you are. I just, it's so funny. Like the premise of the show is so funny because this is the first time she's ever been around a group of strangers.
Starting point is 01:00:02 And like probably a lot of these people have ever been around a group of strangers where they haven't found a way. Her life skill is finding a way within three seconds to seamlessly drop that she is the niece of Tom Hanks. Right, right, right. By marriage to her mom, who is Rita Wilson's sister.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Yeah, I didn't realize Rita Wilson's name was not Rita. I'm just like looking and i'm just like trying to look and learn more about this family her name is margarita ibrahimov there you go oh wow and she's like a greek uh she's greek and i think her father's like albanian but anyway it's just like and then also this is what's funny is to think that this woman and chet hanks are cousins yes which tracks what's that fucking what what are these part what are these events like because i've seen two people now colin hanks seems the most put together
Starting point is 01:00:53 of all the marriage yeah obviously yes we let's not let's not mix that up but yeah now to see the the wilson cohort coming okay we got wilson cohort is strong bloodline is strong and specific. Those genetics are the ones that are popping off, I think. Yeah. I would watch a show with this niece, whatever her name is, still don't even know. And Chet Hanks just like hanging out and being scary. Okay. More of her response my uncle is awesome and he has
Starting point is 01:01:29 known and experienced my tantrum since i was a kid he would actually imitate me have a meltdown as a kid that's like you can't really that's kind of self-awareness here it's kind of like mean-spirited for tom hanks to be imitating a child having a meltdown yeah it suggests that it was like really like noticeable and like someone was like someone's gonna do something like how do we i know it's not a good look but i really wanted to play along with the rest of the cast hope i made you laugh at least until i make you dot dot dot laugh again. Oh. Closing with the hashtag justice for Carly. Cool.
Starting point is 01:02:09 No. No. No. Are you serious? Yeah. Fuck you. You don't fucking know justice. Motherfucker. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. Justice for Carly. Shit. She really is. She really thinks the world is against her that's what's beautiful
Starting point is 01:02:26 yeah wow but then there is something to like thinking of like your tantrums are so bad adults were like coming out of their character to mock you you know i mean like i wonder if tom hanks is like you know actually i feel a little bad that i went on i'm like well i want a piece of cake and made her cry even harder you know i shouldn't have done that i shouldn't have done that but he's like she does she just does this every time rita she does it every time i don't know what's going on i don't know what your sister tells her he's using his powers of acting to like try and put up a mirror in front of a child oh no right this is what you look like right now like just i just want to like give it back to you see if like maybe seeing it on grow man like that it kind of comes together for you that this is unacceptable behavior
Starting point is 01:03:09 yeah but because he doesn't recognize that like her whole life is that she is tom hanks's niece therefore like that interaction becomes formative yeah therefore she's like yeah that's my thing actually people think it's hilarious when i just like go off are you and your uncle close yeah i mean like he mocks me all the time like we're so close huh wow i'm speechless. Yeah. I mean, look, there's really not much else to say, but I wish you luck, Carly. Not justice, but luck. Yes. And I feel like some startup company will find some weird niche way to put her in an ad campaign. I think that's going to be the highest heights she's going to hit with this. Like a tissue company.
Starting point is 01:04:01 I feel like we've already forgotten about it. right like a tissue company i feel like we've already forgotten about like i just did this story i just watched the clip for the fourth time today i couldn't pick her out of a crowd to be honest with you but yeah maybe they will i hope not reeve said that her ever affable uncle was aware of her plans to appear on the show ahead of time and even approved of it explaining that he was just like best of luck that's awesome I don't know if that's like a full throated endorsement of the plan no it's probably luck is usually a pretty
Starting point is 01:04:31 that's a nice way of saying fuck you yeah fuck off yeah best of luck is the most polite way of saying fuck you oh for real well best of luck yeah fuck you go ahead and I think that's what's interesting like you know that he probably didn't necessarily need to approve like legally. She was probably just being like, I don't want to embarrass you, but I have to do this because of my unending, you know, desire for attention or celebrity status.
Starting point is 01:04:58 And he's just like, I don't feel go ahead, man. If you just want if you want people to fucking see who you really are. Yeah, good. Best of luck. This isn't going to end how you think. He probably wasn't even like, yeah, alright. Off you go and your home makes up. She's going to get signed by some influencer, marketer, agent
Starting point is 01:05:11 and she's going to reach out to her uncle and be like, hey, my people actually wanted to reach out to see if there's something we could do together, Uncle Tom. He's like, no thanks. Best of luck. Caitlin, as always, such a pleasure having you on the show. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff?

It's really, once we started talking about the Grimace Shake in those TikTok videos, so many of y'all have been tagging Jack and I in more TikTok videos of people having the Grimace Shake. And I'm just, just all of that. The whole wave. Like now there's write-ups now about being like the new TikTok trend is this Grimace Shake thing. Like now there's write-ups now about being like the new TikTok trend is this Grimace Shake thing. I love seeing that like us as older people are like, there's something weird about this.
Starting point is 01:07:54 And it's good to see that Gen Z and the younger people were like, this is where we're taking it. Because one of the latest ones I saw was just like, it looked like paranormal activity and shit. Yeah, they did a great job with that one. So all the Grimace Shake content, that's what I'm, that's what I'm laughing at right now. And send me your ham shake. Yeah. Yeah.

Norm Charlatan tweeted $16 worth of insight here and just a screen cap of a Twitter interaction between two blue check marks and then a non blue check mark. Dale Partridge said prediction. If they ever remake the Sandlot,
Starting point is 01:08:45 there will be a girl on the team. She will play the hero figure and she will hit the home run to win the game. And then another blue checkmark comes in, Vicar of Christ comes in and says, not only that, but all the guys will be total losers and she will have to single-handedly win the game for them all.
Starting point is 01:09:02 And then Ben Kay came in and was like, unclear if you're accidentally or ironically describing the plot of Bad News Bears, a movie that's nearly 50 years old. Woke shit is out of control. Who was that, Tatum O'Neill? Yeah, it was Tatum O'Neill.
