Starting point is 00:03:29 Always sunny, aka. I think this is the second time I've done a version of that. That's like one of the few episodes I've actually seen of It's Always Sunny. It's Always Sunny. It's a good one. That and one where Danny DeVito, Frank, that is his character, they're like demonstrating kitchen knives. It's like they're selling kitchen knives and then he cuts himself terribly at the demonstration.
Starting point is 00:03:48 He's bleeding all over someone's house. Those are the only moments I know from It's Always Sunny. I cut myself in an acting class doing a demonstration of a slicing machine. Like, we had to, like, do a... Like a deli slicer? It was, like, one of those, like, spinner things that has... Oh, it's like a deli slicer uh it was like one of those um like spinner things that has and they were like yeah we were supposed to like do a uh demonstration like use our hands and like just you know give yourself some business to do and i cut my finger wide open how isn't the whole thing
Starting point is 00:04:18 like well they were like so you're supposed to like put this together for them and like basically do a qvc demonstration and i i failed is that when you're like i'm this together for them and basically do a QVC demonstration, and I failed. Is that when you're like, I'm not acting? Yeah, that was it. That was for an acting class? Yeah, it was supposed to be an easy A. They're like, in the meantime, we're going to train you how to sell cutco.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Right, exactly. You're not going to make it. Weirdly, I was the only one who had to do that. Everybody else was doing Shakespeare. They were like, and you do a QVC demonstration, idiot. Oh, that's fucked up. Everyone's doing these really moving monologues. And you just-
Starting point is 00:04:53 Why don't you sell some homeware? That's ethical acting. Every acting teacher should make you learn how to do something that's actually going to be worthwhile in your future. Right, right, right. Exactly. And why don't you memorize this Cheesecake Factory menu? Do some door-to-door knife sales.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Shout out to everybody who did Cutco, though. Well, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat. I had like three friends try to sell my mom Cutco stuff.

Starting point is 00:05:35 But sorus, much better. Sorry I didn't sing it. Thanks for having me. Yeah, thanks for being here, man. Is that an MC name? Is that just an alter ego? I don't know. I was just thinking you guys just had such a zippy, zappy.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Zip, zap, zap. Zip, zap, zap. Yeah, you guys are so beautiful with your AKAs. I'm just trying to come up with something. I like that. Thank you. Thank you. Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Starting point is 00:05:58 First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Kit Harington responded to his Golden Globe nomination in a way that- Very chill. Very chill. Very chill. It's probably the least like workshopped response, I think. Like it's not, you know for a fact
Starting point is 00:06:18 that this did not come from a publicist. No, it sounded like, it reminds me of being high in a grocery store and seeing somebody from high school you haven't seen, and they come up to you and go, hey, what's up? How you been? And the answer is never eloquent, good, and full of weird sayings I've just made up. Yeah. Well, I feel like that would pretty much reflect his performance in that last season, right?
Starting point is 00:06:42 Yeah, that's what I'm sure he was. He was nominated? Yeah. Was he the was nominated? Yeah. Was he the best part? No. No, definitely not. I mean, his character was fine and good, but no, he was definitely the least interesting acting in the whole thing. Jon Snow. That's my impression of him.
Starting point is 00:06:55 That was fantastic. Thank you. Why don't you put that slap chop together? Why don't you go over there and Why don't you go fold those cardboard boxes up? We're going to talk about the articles of impeachment. They have been introduced. No surprises here.
Starting point is 00:07:19 We're going to talk about how the Republicans are dealing with that. We're going to talk about the Democratic senators demanding Stephen Miller resigns. We're going to talk about how the republicans are dealing with that we're going to talk about the democratic senators demanding stephen miller resigns we're going to talk about health and human services uh petty petty mess in there it's somehow it's like every it's like a new scott pruitt actually we miss scott pruitt pruitt's antics at the epa uh and now it's it's endemic this whole administration just has these selfish scumbags. The shit that these people are trying to pull in health and human services is – it's commendable. Yes. We're going to talk about Pee Wee's big adventure, turning 35, and how they're celebrating that.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Oh, yeah. Password hygiene. Taco Bell testing some more fake meat, like fake meat beyond the fake meat they've been using for years. Hey, hey, hey. Like fake meat that is intentionally, they're like, oh, you guys are jumping on a fake meat wave? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 That's kind of been our thing forever. They're the OGs with that. Right. Oh, yeah. Well, check out this new one we made. Yeah, totally new. Totally un-beef. But what?
Starting point is 00:08:27 It doesn't come from animals? I guess. It's all plant-based. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to talk about that. But first, Nick, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are, what you are up to these days, whatever?
Starting point is 00:08:41 Just what's something from your search history? I did. I looked through. up to these days whatever just what's something from your search history uh i did i i looked through the other night my wife and i were playing around in our kitchen and singing songs and dancing and acting stupid watch out for the slap chops and uh what are slap chops uh i think that his fingers thing that oh oh right yeah i mean the way, for Zeitgang listeners, it should be no surprise that I was not good with my hands when doing it. The acting teacher was like, we're going to do something where you have to do some business
Starting point is 00:09:13 with your hands. And I immediately broke into a cold sweat. Hives everywhere. Jack, why haven't you taken your hands out of your pocket this entire semester? Oh, your pockets are wet too. All right. Sorry. Go ahead, Nick.
Starting point is 00:09:27 We had to Google the lyrics to the Blackstreet song, Before I Let You Go. Oh, wow. Because, I mean, I'm 35. I don't know if that's way too old for you guys. Okay, good, good, good. 84 in the building. Oh, yeah, beautiful. And there's a lyric that I swore was right between your legs and mine.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And my wife is like, you're insane. It's right between your lips and mine. And it's about where the true love lies between these two people. Ah, yeah. Got it. And she was right. I was wrong. And, you know, that's very revealing about me because I never understand lyrics.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Yeah, me neither. And the things that drove me wild when I was a child ended up to be way less sexual than they were meant to be. Between your legs and mine. For sure. Interesting. Songs back then were so explicit and crazy that it didn't seem bizarre to me at all that that would be the lyric. Yeah. That's like that song.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Although between your legs and mine also almost sounds like instructions from a would be the lyric. Yeah. That's like that song. Although Between Your Legs and Mine also almost sounds like instructions from like a basketball coach or something. Yeah. Like legs. Yeah. Soccer maybe. Yeah. Soccer.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Between Your Legs. So you want to line your legs up with the other person. Yeah. I mean, actually that holds true for a lot of these lyrics. My mission is to keep you mine. That sounds like one-on-one defense. Yeah. I don't want this to be the last
Starting point is 00:10:46 time. That's a little shit-talking. I know you feel it, too. It's bigger than the both of us. That is some shit that a player would say to somebody. Oh, you feel that, right? I know you feel that, too. I know you felt that. It's always little things. I just can't let it slip away. That's all things
Starting point is 00:11:04 a coach would tell their players. A sexy coach. A sexy coach. By the name of Teddy Riley. Yeah. What is something you think is underrated? What do I think is underrated? I think,
Starting point is 00:11:13 I think, well, I guess this goes as underrated. I think we should be able to lick our plates in restaurants. Wow. I think it's, I wish, I think that's an underrated move. Um, plate. Yeah. Like
Starting point is 00:11:27 when you're did up to your face or are you putting your head down, uh, near the, no, definitely lift, lift it. Yeah. You have to have some self-respect. Right. And, uh, I don't know. I just waited tables for a long time and everyone was like, Oh, if I could, I would lick the plate. And just enough people say it's like, we should all just agree that we want to do it and we should. There's no reason not to. It's not that different than like lifting up a bowl of soup. Or free bread. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:52 To wipe it clean with the bread if you want to. Yeah. I've licked a plate before. Yeah. I don't give a fuck. No, and you shouldn't. Yeah. That should be completely acceptable.
Starting point is 00:12:00 And it seldom happens where you actually are like, man, you know what? I think I'm going to literally lick every fucking ounce of whatever this meal was off of this plate. So when it happens, you just got to go all in. Because that already indicates a heavenly moment. It's respect. It's beautiful respect and should be celebrated. The chef is
Starting point is 00:12:20 not going to mind, that's for sure. That could be a thing that you do in a restaurant to encourage it. It's like, Hey, lick a plate, get your photo on the wall. Yeah. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:28 What is something you think is overrated? I'm going to go with being salt and pepper. Being salt and pepper. Yeah. With my hair. Oh, okay. Got it.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah. I thought you and your wife were doing like a, do like a tribute group. Yeah. That shit's weak, dude. Well, you're talking about how you sing and dance your kids.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I would much rather be Spinderella. Yeah. No, that's, that shit's weak, dude. Well, you're talking about how you sing and dance in your kitchen. I would much rather be Spinderella. Yeah. No, that's underrated. Being salt and pepper is for sure underrated. Being salt and pepper. Yeah. No, having salt and pepper hair is something that I've been dealing with since high school. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:13:00 Yeah. And just everyone always wants to pat me on the back and be like, you know, everyone's very quick. Like you're a veteran or something? Yeah. Hey, man, you're brave. Good for you. Thank you for your service. Thanks a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Yeah, but also that it's like attractive. Like, I don't know, people will go out of their way to let me know how okay it is. Gray fox. Yeah, right? And it's like, I don't know, I'm too young for it. I'm like a silver fox preemie or something. Right, silver puppy. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Silver puppy. It. Silver puppy. It's too much. Sickly puppy. Yeah. And also it's just like, you know, when your hair gets long, then you look really bad.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Right. And then, you know, you gotta, I don't know. Then if you look a little tired, you look super old and you know, I'm over it.
Starting point is 00:13:38 And I want, I want, I need people to stop glorifying the salt and pepper look. So what do you want to, do you just want to say, I want to look ill just because, not because the hair yeah i just can i just be sick yeah can i just be sick uh did you do you ever do you just yeah you ever diet uh not yet but uh i probably will it actually looks good on you i wouldn't thanks yeah yeah see that's what i'm
Starting point is 00:13:59 talking about i don't want to hear that i apologize i don't know i don't know bro thank you how you want to look yeah i don't know there you go. I apologize. I don't know, dude. For your age? I don't know, bro. Is that how you want to look? Yeah. I don't know. There you go. That's what Miles is giving you. What world would you rather? Do you ever want people to be disparaging about it, though?
Starting point is 00:14:13 Not really. You don't like the thing like, aw. Yeah. Basically, just keep it to yourself. I mean, I'll dye it when. I mean, I'm a hair acting and all these things. So when that happens, when they need me to dye it, I will. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Yeah, for sure. Any colors you need me to dye it i will right yeah for sure any colors you would love to have it dyed no i want it all white no just all gray yeah you're auditioning for edgar winter john flair what's that guy from uh madman the don't know that the silver fox himself i don't know oh there was a character who just had white hair. Who has white hair. Yeah, right, right, right. And wears it very well. All right, white hair. Yeah, I'm just thinking about the Salt-N-Pepa look works up to a certain hair length, but you never see George Clooney with his hair grown out or anything.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Well, you look like a mad scientist hacker. It's the dude who played Data in Star Trek, who was in Independence Day, as like the scientist at like Area 51. He had long ass salt and pepper hair. And I remember being like, hmm. Well, his hair was also sticking out in every direction. Well, that's the crazy part. The grays or the whites, they get brittle too. Right. So it's like not only two colors. They do end up sticking out. Yeah, they're going to stick out and it's like you have two heads of hair.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yeah. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? Oh. Well, I just found out. Spiner, that's his name. Spiner.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Who, Data? Yeah. Spine Dog. What movie was he in? Independence Day. Was he the one listening to It's the end of the world He may have been
Starting point is 00:15:47 But I just remember him being in the Area 51 lab And just being like Hey my hair looks like it's gonna break off Now does he get They get him Merked by the aliens But then isn't he in the sequel? I think he's in the second one
Starting point is 00:15:57 And I'm like wait bro Didn't they have the tentacle around your neck? Yeah they had the tentacle around their neck And were using him as a puppet Yeah Huh And then he survived to that. That's got to be some fucking...
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yeah. He probably got a great settlement from the government. Yeah. And probably a few more grays. Yeah. Did you, growing up, did you identify with that mmm song by the Crash Test Dummies? No.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Where they talk about the young child who gets white hair from a car accident? But I don't know anything about that. I'm really bad when it comes to alternative rock, especially for my era. But my wife has been teaching me Sully Bishirley. So I like that song now. Were you just focused on
Starting point is 00:16:36 chamber music or something? Were you just all in on one other genre of music? Yeah, basically. Like rap and R&B. Between what the kids were listening to in school. I was little or whatever when grunge was happening, and we just thought that was the most embarrassing. Oh, because you grew up in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I grew up in Seattle, yeah. Oh, right. So at that time, you just were like, man, I don't know about this. No, yeah. It was like if you were a rocker, then you just got beat up. You couldn't be a rocker in in the south end of seattle when i was growing up right so you had to be a sir makes a lot of fan no no no it was like all bay area rap music like we only listened like too short and e40 and just like that stuff okay yeah i was in
Starting point is 00:17:15 uh the seattle airport for like two hours uh recently and they're still like rocking grunge and like have like an announcement from a rock musician. Dude, Sub Pop, the record label that, you know. Right. Yeah. They have a store in the airport. Yeah. It's like.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Wow. That is like a place where like that is the mainstream. Could you imagine a Death Row Records store in LA? Yeah. If they were like bumping like Death Row shit. I can imagine. I'm sure Top Dog will do it. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah, for sure. But TD, yeah, that would be much more entertaining. What airport would that be? TD? Yeah. Well, I mean, it's LAX. It's LAX? Burbank?
Starting point is 00:17:53 I don't know what the fuck. There's the Jay Leno store, or it used to be the Tonight Show NBC store back in the day. Oh, man. I got to come clean with the listeners that we're doing a a look back at the last decade for like the special holiday apps. Oh, man. Jay Leno. What a terrible person. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Oh, God. I was like reading some jokes from him from 2010. Oh, I can only imagine. Especially with the shit he just said recently, like that got him in hot water. Yeah. He's got talent and he's making like Asians eat dog jokes. Yeah. So in 2010, he was said recently, like, that got him in hot water on Rex Got Talent, and he's making, like, Asians eat dog jokes. Yeah. So, anyways.
Starting point is 00:18:26 When, in 2010, he was just off the rails with that? Not just off the rails. Just, like, crappy, hacky shit. And it was, like, him, it was, like, right after he, like, kicked Conan out, and it was just. Oh, right. Came back. Like, that was the feud that we were worried about in 2010 entering this decade. And still, the number one feud that we're all
Starting point is 00:18:46 following yeah living our lives by uh all right but that myth oh a myth okay yeah yeah so uh there's a this conspiracy theory i guess that like people don't know where shakespeare was born and like shakespeare's life or who he is or if he existed or whatever. Was he a woman? Was he a man? But I didn't even realize that was a conspiracy theory because growing up, it is just, like my grandparents are from a very specific part of Sicily. So I was just taught that Shakespeare was from this part of Sicily. And like everyone, when you go there, everyone's just like, oh no, Shakespeare's from here.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Like they all know his grandparents. You know what I'm saying? Right, right, right. His grandparents are still alive. It's for, like, everyone knows everyone, right? Right. So, like, it's like my cousin, blah, blah, blah. Like, so for me, it was weird when I found out that that was a conspiracy theory because I could just tell you.
Starting point is 00:19:37 It was common knowledge. It was just common knowledge. He's from, like, this. He's from Sicily. Yeah, from a town. Well, it's not even a town. Well, it's a town on a global scale, but kind of big for Sicily, a place called Messina. Messina.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yeah. And yeah, so I don't know. You guys can talk whatever you want to about Shakespeare, but he's definitely Sicilian. He's definitely Sicilian. Yeah, he's from Messina. I like when people just claim something. They're like, no, I don't care what it is. This is what it is.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I've heard the theory that he was like an entire like team of writers that he's like the team of writers that wrote the King James Bible like I've heard all that stuff but Sicily this is new yeah yeah it is somewhere on the like if you whatever google conspiracy theories that is one of them one of them on the list what is it about Messina though that people are so sure like is it because of well it's uh well just because everyone knows where everyone's from out there so that's just part of being there oh so just sort of like the oral history of that of messina is like we've known shakespeare has been but also even if it wasn't a big timer like if like everyone knows like where i'm from right they're just like you're from you know casavica or whatever like everyone knows that's just a part of i don't know sort of like in a city maybe that was really like people cared about neighborhoods
Starting point is 00:20:49 right imagine like sicily sort of like one big neighborhood so that's just part of it but then the other part of it too is messina is where like all the records are kept for uh like birth certificates and stuff so like my grandfather was born in that area and you have to go to messina to get his birth certificate you can let go and there's like William Shakespeare. And here it is. Bill Shakespeare. Yeah. Shakespeare.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Oh, you're talking about Bill Shakespeare? Oh yeah, man. I knew him. No, that was his, you know, his whatever white name they gave him. Right. Yeah. The Ellis Island of the UK. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Yeah. And then in the village where my grandparents are from, there's like an original copy of Dante's Inferno. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, wow. So they keep it and they know. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Let's talk about Kit Harington. Yeah. Let's talk about Kit Harington. We talked Globenoms. Yeah. I mean, we just, we mentioned that they happened. Yeah. With very, we have no stakes for us.
Starting point is 00:21:39 None at all. In the nominations. Don't care. I think maybe we should. Well, who's next? But I'm also, I've realized as we've done this show, right, this is maybe the third year now we've gone into an awards season. The first year we used to talk about like,
Starting point is 00:21:51 yo, the biggest snubs of all time and this other shit. And then I think we've slowly come to this point where like, none of this shit matters. Well, the awards particularly, I feel like, don't matter. Right, right. I think they do them badly. Yeah, well, I think- Not just the Hollywood Foreign Press. Yeah, everybody. I'm they do them badly. Yeah, well, I think... Not just the Hollywood Foreign Press.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yeah, everybody. I'm a fan of certain members of the Hollywood Foreign Press. Hey, I don't know anybody, so you know what? They fucked up. Yeah, I don't know them either. I think the award season... Not on board. So again, even with his nomination, it was weird.
Starting point is 00:22:18 No, zero nominations for the show, except for Kit Harington. Right. They didn't even give it to Dinklage. Yeah, Dinklage, I mean, I even feel like the woman who plays Brianna Tarth had a great arc. Yeah. There are other characters who I felt- Well, what about the guy who got his dick cut off and tortured for a long time and ended up being good?
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah. Reed. Reed, that guy is awesome. Yeah. That guy's an incredible actor. Theon. Yeah. Theon is incredible.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Alfie Allen. Singer Lily Allen's brother. Oh, word? Yes. And also an Arsenal fan. Theon. Yeah, Theon is incredible. Alfie Allen. Singer Lily Allen's brother. Oh, word? Yes. And also an Arsenal fan. You know what I'm saying? Oh, man. I always get sad whenever-
Starting point is 00:22:51 Does that make you mad? Yeah, this nepotism thing is just so demoralizing. Isn't it annoying when it's like a family of people? Yeah, Lily Allen and Alfie Allen. Even if it's just like they're both super talented, I'm just like, fuck, man. Well, I know. It's like I love Laura Dern, right? Like I'm on board with her and just like,
Starting point is 00:23:06 of course you're going to get really good at acting when you're just born with the idea of like, Oh, people just do it. Right. And then you show up to sets or whatever when you're little and you're just used to it. You're like, what about all this creative baggage I had to shed to get here now? Right.
Starting point is 00:23:20 You just grew up with it being like, yeah. Or just like the nerves of like showing up to set the first time. Right. And you're just like nervous about it because you don't know what to do. But if you just grew up with it being like that. Or just like the nerves of like showing up to set the first time. Right. And you're just like nervous about it because you don't know what to do. But if you just grew up with it. She just like knows everyone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:31 It was just natural and normal and a place to go where people treat you nice. Like, you know, anyways. She shows up to Jurassic Park and is like, Steve, what's up? She's like, oh, is that where the dinosaurs will be? I also have experience with dinosaurs, believe it or not. Like live ones. It's an old hat to me. Well, now I'm glad Theon didn't get the nod.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Fuck that guy. I think if we can all agree on one thing, it's fuck Theon. Fuck Theon. Yeah, he fought valiantly in the end. But yeah, so apparently they got hold of kid harrington right after he was nominated this guy is a awkward quote machine by the way yeah he's yeah and this was they ask him you know what they thought of him being nominated and the only person from the show to be nominated he says i'm the loner throner it seems i just imagined myself
Starting point is 00:24:22 sitting down at a table all by myself as the loner throner. I didn't expect to be nominated. I thought the show might be but I just at home learning lines and then my publicist called. It was very unexpected and wonderful.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I'm a loner throner it seems and then he wasn't embarrassed that he said that. I just imagined sitting by myself. He wanted to take you on a journey of him, of what that phrase that he had just come up with evoked in his mind. Does that mean that he also suspects that he's now alienated from the rest of the cast and crew?
Starting point is 00:25:02 I don't know, man. And now he's like, now I'm the real loner. They hated me. They always hate me. That would have been funny if they're all haters so actually you know i expected this actually now that i'm looking at i think what happened is i'm the loner throner it seems pause for laughter none coming and he's like oh i guess i need to further explain this joke so what's happening what's your quote i'm the loner throner it seems wait why isn't there... I just imagined myself sitting down at a table all by myself as the loner throner.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I didn't expect to be nominated. Okay, I gotta go. Right. Well, I think they must have known on some level that a huge portion of people, of fans of the show, wanted him to win the throne or whatever, to be the king at the end. So they were like, we'll just give him... Something. We'll give him something. We'll let him be the real king winner at the end. So they're like, we'll just give him like, you know. We'll give him something.
Starting point is 00:25:49 We'll let him be the real king winner at the end of this thing after all. So are we still thinking about that season? That big, exasperated sigh? Yeah. Shit was not good. Nope, it was not. Although, how could they not nominate it when there's that shot where she's walking through the doorway and the dragon wings go behind her. The dragon behind her.
Starting point is 00:26:06 And then you realize that what the filmmakers are saying is she might be the dragon. Yeah. I know, dude. Like, all along. I know, dude. Also, more nepotism with Benioff and D.B. Weiss, too. Why? He's, like, related to the Mark Benioff from Salesforce.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. They Mark Benioff from Salesforce. Oh really? Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. They're fucking those. It's wild. And then I think DB Weiss was somebody's assistant. Like again, well, assistant is, I mean, no, but like in a way, like in a manner in which like, how did you become this person?
Starting point is 00:26:38 It's not like I worked this agent's desk or some shit. Right. It was like some, I, I, I mean, mean i i'm too lazy to look at assistant meaning nephew right yeah and they were also uh you know going on the festival circuit or they they had an interview at at i think south by maybe this year where uh they were talking about how they learned on the job they were like yeah we didn't know what we were doing, and we just kind of figured it out as we were going. Just winging it, man. Yeah. And people were like, yeah, that's called privilege,
Starting point is 00:27:09 and you might want to take a look at it. There was a moment where D.B. Weiss was Glenn Frey's personal assistant. Glenn Frey? What? I don't even know why. That's so strange. Well, speaking of Glenn Fry and the Eagles, there's some legendary stories about them from the road.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Am I right, Miles? Miles? Miles, it's Jack from work over here. Are you talking about your old podcasting co-host, Miles? Yeah, Anna. Hey, Anna Hosnier. How's it going? Where did Miles go?
Starting point is 00:27:46 I don't... Jack. Oh, Miles has been dead for 20 years now. What? Plot twist. Actually, Miles just left on a trip. He'll be back in a moment, but we're recording things a little bit out of order. Miles just left on a trip, and he left rolling a beautiful Away suitcase.
Starting point is 00:28:06 It is light blue. It's very cool looking. I got a gray one. Anyways, guys, do you know about Away? Are you familiar with Away? Anna? Yes. Anna, answer me.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Are you familiar with Away? Sorry, Nick. You're going to, you'll be right back in a second. So Away creates thoughtful products designed to change how you see the world. Now you might be thinking, so they're glasses? No. They started with the perfect suitcase, crafted with features that make travel more seamless. Now they offer a range of essentials that solve real travel problems.
Starting point is 00:28:40 So all you have to think about is where you're headed next, because getting away means getting more out of every trip to come. And like I said, Miles has a great one. I have a great one. They have a lightweight, durable shell, and you can use it as a carry-on. It fits in the little carry-on compartment. And they give you a 100-day trial that lets you try any Away product on the road. And we have a special offer for you guys. For $20 off a suitcase, all you have to do is visit awaytravel.com slash TDZ and use promo code TDZ during checkout. Again, that's awaytravel.com slash TDZ for $20 off a suitcase and use promo code TDZ during checkout. And now that we are ready to return to the show, I'm going to cast a spell and conjure miles back from the dead.
Starting point is 00:29:34 And Abra Kazoom, we're back. And the Democrats have made it official. At least they've announced the two articles of impeachment and obstruction pelosi nadler schiff they got them all yeah up there maxine just unveiling their two articles obstruction of congress and abuse of power a lot of people know how they aren't going after obstruction of justice right from the muller probe because that was some pretty nailed on obstruction uh cases there yeah uh and also abuse of power versus the before they were talking about extortion or bribery the language has shifted a little bit
Starting point is 00:30:16 with what they're making it like weaker i think they're just using different i think because they want to keep it like this so when they have to prove the case, they can just go after an abuse of power thing because I think maybe extortion or bribery, there's too many ways for the Republicans to defend against that. Got it. And I think they want to be as hyper-specific as possible. But it still shows a little bit of being like, well, we'll see. Yeah. I mean, either way, we know it's going to be a sham in the Senate. So this is what they're going to do.
Starting point is 00:30:43 They'll vote on it probably next week, make it official, like with a whistle, and then a trial in the Senate in the new year. Right. But there's not, I don't know. I mean, again, it's pretty straightforward, I think, with what they're trying to say, which is the president abused the power of his office to enlist the help of a foreign government for a sham investigation into a political opponent for his own gain, a own gain, a.k.a.
Starting point is 00:31:09 He's trying to cheat at the 2020 election. If you want to make it real simple for somebody. Yeah. And then also refusing to cooperate with like this investigation is the other part. Why don't we just let the people decide 2020 election? Yeah. Yeah. Come on.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Right. Well, I think the issue right he's cheating at why don't we just let him exactly right let him fucking stack the deck and then we'll pretend that's a fair game right the thing that's really i mean again you can tell that the republicans know what he did is indefensible because they're not actually defending him they're just attacking the process and i think for anyone who wants to, if you have any, if you're in some kind of logic battle with somebody who is saying, well, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:50 they didn't do anything wrong. And you can just say, well, then how are you, how come y'all are not proving it? Right. There's no, if you are actually wrongfully accused of something, you're able to, you'll be like, okay, do you want to go there? Here's all my evidence. Here are all these people corroborating witnesses, whatever I have to do to defend myself to make you look foolish.
Starting point is 00:32:08 But if your only defense is to just scream and lie, I think that's like one of the more damning indications that they know that the president is guilty of what he's done. But this is where we're at now because, you know, like any bacterial parasitic life form that has to survive, it will go into a second stage of survival where you do whatever it takes as a living organism to survive. And in this case, it's lying and basically gaslighting the country. Well, yeah, it seems to me like the idea is like, just own the fact that he did something wrong. I mean, from a Republican standpoint and be like, and but he did it for national security. The Bidens are crooked.
Starting point is 00:32:44 We have to do this. We have to stop this crooked guy from coming in and winning the elections through illegal Ukrainian, whatever. Just own that it was bad. Even own that it's an abuse of power. Just be like, yeah, he abused his power. He's the president. He needs to. Of course he abused his power and everyone that supports him will get up and cheer. They don't care that he abuses his power. That's like they're like completely want him to. Oh, yeah. Well, they're getting off on it.
Starting point is 00:33:10 They're like, this is so chill. This is so sick, dude. The way he's just like making them melt down and like we're completely deteriorating our fabric of this country. I mean, there's no logically coherent message that has come from the Republican side. message that has come from the Republican side. No. Like the legal expert that they brought to the Judiciary Committee, his thing was, well, like the Democrats need to slow down.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Like he didn't make any defense of what Trump did at all. He just said they need to slow down because they haven't had fact eyewitnesses like testify. And nobody pointed out, because the Democrats are bad at this uh nobody pointed out well that's because he's not letting them testify yeah and so we're just gonna push forward this is what we have like this is what we have this is his obstructed pretty obvious investigation uh but yeah it's like there's. There's Trump just saying it's a sham, but like not really. I think Trump is probably the closest to, Nick, what you were saying. Like that's basically what he's saying is, you know, I need to stop the Bidens. China should look into it, too. He doesn't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I mean, really, he just thinks, well, I'm sitting in the Oval Office means who going to check me, boo? Right. That's really his like he doesn't care what's lawful. It's his idea is like well i'm at the apex i'm at the top of the tower in terms of the power structure so how am i going to be accountable for anything yeah i mean he has talked about wanting to testify and i mean maybe that's what it would take for him to like get his message across is just like getting getting in there and you know but it's it's just not, I mean, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:45 who knows what this fucking trial is going to look like in the Senate. You know, it could just be complete, just utter disgrace. I mean, it's going to be a disgrace because they're not there to actually, like, have a sincere trial and try to adjudicate whether or not the president actually committed an impeachable offense. It's just going to be like, oh, they're haters, right? Can we just vote on this and just take a nap? Yeah, well, they'll probably lay out a – they'll just – I mean, it'll just be like their re-election campaign kickoff.
Starting point is 00:35:14 They'll be like, this is who you guys want to vote for, these stupid Democrats? Like, look at them. Is that who you want in power? Right. Like, they can't – they're just going to make fun of the Democrats nonstop and and talk about how good the economy is for what, you know, they'll just jam job all their talking points in there and then we'll just they'll kick off the reelection. There's also like a group of shook Democrats, too, who are in those districts. Yeah. Those districts that Trump won in 2016 who are like, well, what if we just censure?
Starting point is 00:35:43 Right. Rather than impeach because then maybe maybe we'll get bipartisan support. Right. And it's like, no. I think what Nick's saying is kind of what they're scared of, right? Is that the Senate trial is going to be a sham that allows them to basically take over the narrative and make it whatever they want. I think either way, just seeing how very little the needle has moved with even all this information coming out
Starting point is 00:36:07 shows how little people are actually engaged with even this part of the impeachment that even in the Senate. I don't think, I have a feeling people are already just stuck in where they are. I don't know how much more this is going to prove to anybody
Starting point is 00:36:19 because you're either turned off by his like xenophobic, racist, homophobic, what all every terrible part of his policy platform and you're turned off by his xenophobic, racist, homophobic, every terrible part of his policy platform. And you're turned off by that. You don't need the, wait, he did what with Ukraine? To then be like, yo, fuck this guy. I think people are already in their corners. And I don't know, aside from just the mechanics of constitutionally enforcing the law, I don't know what it does.
Starting point is 00:36:43 There's this idea, and the politicians that I actually admire do this thing where it's like, no one's above the law and like, we need to prosecute him or whatever the word is, you know, because no one's above the law. Like that's going to, you know, that Americans relate to that. And it's like, we all know everyone's above the law. Like that doesn't work. Like that's, you're not moving us to say, I mean, I know people, I have friends that are, well, not that they're rich, mean i know people i have friends that are not
Starting point is 00:37:05 well not that they're rich but i know all types of people that break the law and get away with it yeah right the system and it's like like if especially if you have money yeah the law doesn't apply to you and we've all been ingrained that's been a part of our fabric for so long that that's absolutely nowhere near any kind of a motivational rallying cry to get people to be like, we have to hold powerful people accountable. It just doesn't happen. I just feel like, yeah, this motherfucker's cheating. Right. More than usual.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Cheating. More than the other people do. At the next election. We were worried about him cheating at the last one. He's already cheating at the next one. That's censure. But, I mean, there's still 47% support for trump being impeached and removed from office and 44 opposition so he's still you know what even though we have reached a status quo since
Starting point is 00:37:54 basically the uh fake call transcript came out uh it's still a pretty uh wild status quo yeah well i think even most uh more americans a plurality of americans think the president should be impeached and removed i also just think this process is too abstract to most people yeah like who are not engaged in the news or politics like you're like okay what last time i heard this it it was because Clinton got a blow job or something. Like, what is this? Like, isn't this the thing you do when you don't like a guy? Yeah. I think there's just not enough knowledge or education
Starting point is 00:38:32 around what the process is for enough people to care in that sense. It just seems like that whatever the next phase is of the media circus, which is like, now they'll do the impeachment thing we've kept hearing that word. Yeah, yeah. So. What's going on with Nancy Pelosi? What's she up to?
Starting point is 00:38:49 How is she using this political capital? Right after that or right around the time of the impeachment, articles impeachment being unveiled, she then is saying, okay, we're now going to be advancing the USMCA, NAFTA 2.0. The thing that all Republicans, like their talking point throughout this impeachment process has been, you know, when is she going to do something about the USMCA? That's that thing's just sitting there. And these Democrats, they're doing nothing, blah, blah, blah. So with this, she has now found a way to negotiate with the president.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Now, OK, you can look at this a couple of different ways. Advancing the USMCA and if it actually being signed into law would probably be the biggest political achievement for Trump since the midterms, like anything he's done. And a lot of people are like, why are they handing him a legislative victory of any kind? And I understand the optics of that. There are also other dimensions of it. I think that need to be considered with this USMCA. Initially, like with the tariffs that were being discussed in it and the agreements to like keep manufacturing in certain places, the Democrats have been really clear that they wanted like more protections for labor,
Starting point is 00:39:53 uh, like in this deal and like also adding like greater environmental protections as part of this, like, uh, stabilizing drug prices, things like that. And a lot of people,
Starting point is 00:40:04 um, I mean, it's not, it's not perfect by any means, like labor unions drug prices, things like that. And a lot of people, I mean, it's not perfect by any means. Like labor unions have still, this is far from perfect in their eyes and I think most people's eyes. But the Republicans were really concerned because the first version that they agreed to, Democrats were like, no, this is fucking, this is not it. Right. And that's why it was stalling out.
Starting point is 00:40:20 But as the president was getting his ass slow cooked, sous vide by this impeachment process, he started breaking down a little bit and now they've been negotiating with him and a lot of republicans are worried that because of this trump is really weak into the bill that the republicans wanted like john cornyn from texas said like his when they asked him about this they said i just hope trump hasn't gone too far in speaker pelosi direction and the AFL-CIO's direction, uh-oh, that he might lose some support here. My concern is that what the administration presented has now been moved demonstrably to Democrats, the direction that they wanted. So in a way, when that happens, Nancy Pelosi gets a W because she can say, well, we're actually tuning this up
Starting point is 00:41:02 a little bit more to our liking, although I don't think it's the best version of it. Also, they completely neutralize a GOP talking point of like, what are you going to do about the USMCA? Every person, every Republican has just been using that as like a pivot move to say Republicans are so focused on that. That's gone. And also helps vulnerable Democrats in a lot of these districts who are probably in the censure camp be like, hey, you can hang your hat on this, though.
Starting point is 00:41:28 And I think this is the other thing, too, back to the impeachment thing. They want to get things done very quickly because I know Pelosi wants to have some momentum going into the election with Democrats starting to do like passing bills they can start pointing at. But I don't know. I mean, the president is such a fuck that I don't know how much political capital they really need to build to, I guess, to offset the losses from impeachment that they feel they're going to experience. But that's where that is. So is it just like functionally are like we're at a place where there is no because didn't they like get rid of NAFTA? So now this is the replacement for NAFTA. Like what is the governing law of the land now? Well, I think right now they still need to have because I think I don't know if it's – it has to go through the legislative bodies of all the countries.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I don't know where it is in terms of Canada, but they definitely – I mean, like the main points have been agreed to, like when it comes about like automobiles and like where the components are being manufactured within the three countries. And like people have to be earning a certain amount for their labor. But yeah, I'm not the trade guy. You sound a little bit like the trade guy. Yeah. I read enough. I was impressed. I read enough. I read enough.
Starting point is 00:42:52 No, I just – when you were – I don't know anything about all that. So I was just like – you were saying MC something, something? United States, Mexico, Canada. And then to me, I just kept hearing MCU, which I never knew it meant, but that's Marvel Comics Universe. Marvel Cinematic Universe. Okay. Either way.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was trying to keep that straight. Or the United States or the one from Beastie Boys MCA. Yes. Yeah. That's right. The old record label MCA. Let's talk about Stephen Miller, you guys.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Yeah, this motherfucker still has a job. Mm-hmm. All right, moving on. Enough. He should guys. Yeah, this motherfucker still has a job. All right, moving on. He should not. Yeah. All those emails leaked, and we knew that he was Santa Monica Goebbels. That's been his thing. He's the little West Side Nazi, and he has a pivotal role in setting immigration policy. And I think most people of sound body and mind go, I don't think a white supremacist should be dictating
Starting point is 00:43:47 who and how we let people become Americans. And now the Democrats have, gasp, written a letter to demand that he steps down. The Democratic senators. Senators, yes. So they know nothing's going happen right because it's in the senate where the republicans are the majority well i mean it's just more that they're all being like hey this is a this is a fucking mockery and a shame that you have a just a a verifiable racist
Starting point is 00:44:15 uh at the helm of the immigration policy and it's led by uh kamala harris right uh and they're like saying quote recent reports confirm that he advanced white nationalist anti-immigrant ideologies. Continuing to employ him as a senior architect of your immigration policies ensures that those policies discriminate against individuals of color to advance white nationalist ideals. He must be removed. I agree with this. I agree with everything. I just don't know what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I think it's probably just, you know, it is very important that somewhere in the history books, Senator Kamala Harris was, you know, there's going to be a letter that was like, we hated this. We knew. We knew and we demanded change. But, I mean, you know, the Trump supporters either like it or don't care. I think they should write a letter to Katie Waldman too, his girlfriend. Oh. And be like, yo. For real?
Starting point is 00:45:02 Stephen Miller's girlfriend? Yeah. Stephen Miller has a girlfriend. What does she do? Isn't it like, doesn't she work for Mike Pence Stephen Miller's girlfriend? Yeah. Stephen Miller has a girlfriend. What does she do? Isn't it like, didn't she work for Mike Pence? Yes. Oh.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah. Poached from Martha McSally's staff. Match made in hell. Yeah. I mean, you know. I would love to hear her comment. Like, so did you read these leaked emails? Oh, she's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:20 It's erotica to me. We good? Okay. Yeah. Oh, no. They don't care. They don't care. They don't care. They don't have a problem.
Starting point is 00:45:26 They don't have a problem. That's all Shannon Sharp all day with those people. Because at the end of the day, that's when you really see really what the mindset is of people who support the president. Because you can be like, it's a white nationalist. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:37 It's setting the agenda. I'm like, no, it isn't. Or you're taking it too seriously. That means you don't take racism seriously. And that already means, okay, bye-bye. So that's racism. Nah, well, see, people use that word so much now. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:52 It's really true. You start letting all these people in, like, what are you going to do? Right. What are you going to do? Who's going to pay for that? And that's about as far as I'm willing to think about it because this is where, this is where the
Starting point is 00:46:05 right is now. They've completely like, uh, shedded anybody who had like some bit of like moral backbone and now you're just left with the distillation like, oh, okay. So now we're just left with the hardcore xenophobes who are like, yeah, this is all fine. Right. Like everything is fine as long as we have this. Yeah. I mean, we don't even like, like we, we do speak such different languages now. So like
Starting point is 00:46:29 what racism even is or white nationalism, what, what's the definition of that? Like there's not even a, I mean, we don't even have a basic playing field of what the word like patriotism means, you know, and that's truth or truth or anything. So it's just like, that's just another thing you say, like white nationalism. And there's probably a lot of people that are like, I'm not racist, and white nationalism is good. Oh, you can have black pride, but I can't have white pride? Right. Yeah. There's a BET, but not a WET?
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah, it's called NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox. Have you seen The Good Place? It's just white supremacy full. Full fucking title. have you seen the good place it's just white supremacy full full fucking toddle uh let's talk about health and human services because this got a lot of attention uh under obama when he was passing obamacare and uh but now now well in this era this became hhs is about destroying obamacare. Right. And I think before it was, what's his face? Price, right? Who was the head and he got, he had to leave because he was P-jetting too much. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:30 And like, you're spending way too, what the fuck is this? Right. Like, every person they've appointed to a lot of these cabinet positions are just fucking complete fools. Wasn't it like a, obviously a vacation that he was using the P-jet for? Yeah, it was something terrible. Yeah. I mean, they all were.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Right. obviously a vacation that he was using the pj yeah it was something terrible i mean they all were and now alex azar who is a literal former drug ceo like big pharma ceo is running health and human services these are the people and like he's he's at the helm they're trying to figure out how they can kneecap obamacare and make it as cruel as possible. But then he also has the head of Medicare and Medicaid, this woman, Seema Verma. So this is the tea. These two people do not get along. And it has been like a really messy war being played out through leaks and articles talking shit about one another.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Seema Verma is just a heartless, just heartless demon. She's posting. This is a thing that she posted on her Twitter like last year. It's a photo of a shirt that says Medicare for all. And it says this year's scariest Halloween costume goes to. OK, this is the person who is in charge of administering Medicare and Medicaid in the country. Right. OK. And so this battle has been going all going back and forth.
Starting point is 00:48:47 For example, there was a spat over. She accused Alex Azar of sex discrimination because they had a disagreement over a hire. So Verma wanted to hire this person named Brady Brooks, who was the deputy chief of staff in her office as to turn that person to chief of staff. But Azar and his office said they wanted a different candidate for that position who was a woman and also like much more experienced and spent more time in this office. They're like, no, this other person is actually a more appropriate fit. She went and like started being like, they're discriminating against me because I'm a woman and this is my pick. And that's what it is. They had to bring in
Starting point is 00:49:29 independent outside legal counsel to investigate this because they took this charge very seriously and they found nothing to be like wrong. And then as they asked her more, they're like, do you really want to go forward? This, she sort of like closed up shop. It was like, not, I don't really want to talk about, I don't need to say anything, blah, blah, blah. And the guy she wanted was eventually hired. Oh, the guy she wanted? Yes. Wait.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Yes. It was a woman, right? No, no, no. She wanted a man. She wanted a guy hired, but she was saying it was discrimination because it was her pick. Oh, Brady was a guy? Yeah. And she was saying it was sex discrimination because it was her pick, but they were hiring
Starting point is 00:50:03 a woman over a man. Wait, actually, hold on. No, no. Brady Books is a woman. I'm sorry. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they were hiring a woman over a man wait actually hold on no no brady books is a woman i'm sorry okay yeah i think they were both women sorry yeah i completely messed that up um so the discrimination was just simply because it was it's more so that it was about verma's position within it and she's saying alex azar hates me because i'm a woman and now their office is pushing back on my pick got it even though that he wasn't trying to replace it with a man well replace the person in the position with a man. Anyway, so that had to get basically adjudicated by like legal counsel.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Then this is where it gets real funny. Oh, just so you know, she was paying like a media consultancy agency, like something over $3 million to like work on her speeches and her appearance and like her image. I need to get one of those. Yeah. This was part of $3 million. to work on her speeches and her appearance and her image. I need to get one of those. Yeah. This was part of- $3 million? Yes. Of government money?
Starting point is 00:50:50 Yes. Okay. Using- Paying these consultants. So that was her budget. Yeah. She was using her budget and allocating it to a media consultant to help her with her image.
Starting point is 00:50:59 How much of a nightmare was she before that? Yeah, exactly. Right, exactly. Like, this isn't good free room. Now, she's in the papers because she's asked, so she was in San Francisco. Okay. And anyone who's been to San Francisco,
Starting point is 00:51:12 and you've had something stolen out of your car. If you've driven there. Anyone who has been to San Francisco, especially, look, if you've ever been in a band, and you do a gig where you drive up to San Francisco, you know the rule. Take all the shit out of the van, because you will get do a gig where you drive up to san francisco you you know the rule take all the shit out of the van because you will get robbed yeah you'll get robbed it happens every fucking time so in in true fashion her rented chevy tahoe was broken into when she was doing
Starting point is 00:51:36 a speech about medicare um and she had jewelry stolen okay And she basically is claiming that she had like $50,000 worth of jewelry that she needs reimbursed. $50,000 of jewelry just sitting out in a Chevy Tahoe? Yes. She said $43,065 for about two dozen pieces of jewelry based on an appraisal she'd received from a jeweler about three weeks after the theft. After the theft. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:52:04 So among it was an Ivanka Trump branded pendant. Oh, that's 20 bucks. Made of gold. So there you go. The jeweler said that's 5,900 right there. You're well on your way. Also said $2,000 to cover the cost of her stolen clothes and another $2,000 to cover the cost of other stolen goods,
Starting point is 00:52:21 including a $325 claim for a moisturizer and $349 for noise-canceling headphones. I mean... And it's basically being like, okay, I need you to approve this. But I think then there was another round of clog up because Azar, I think, would have had to ultimately sign up. She ended up getting a fraction of that money.
Starting point is 00:52:38 She's trying to get the government to pay for it? Yes. She's saying, I need to be reimbursed because I was on a work trip and I left all my $50,000 worth of jewelry in a rented Chevy Tahoe in the streets of San Francisco out in the open. If I ever get a job, someone come rob me. I know, it's the reimbursement. Yeah, I've never heard of that, an employer paying back because you got robbed. Everywhere I go, there's big signs that says, no one here is responsible if you get robbed. Right, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:01 And if anything, you have insurance to cover jewelry you saw the sign when you walked into our offices that said we're not responsible if you get armed uh if you're the victim of armed so this is the kind of people we have so scott pruitt remember having secret service because he had who was in traffic driving to restaurants so he could make a reservation was stealing mattresses from the trump hotel only like eating dean and deluca no no he was trying to pay buy one of the mattresses and like had a government employee spending their time on finding a replica of a mattress from a trump hotel to both kiss ass and also because he thought it was comfortable yes exactly you're the most comfortable beds you're the most 100 so yeah she so now we have her basically saying hi i would like to i would like you the taxpayer
Starting point is 00:53:46 to buy me i look i lost my beats by dre uh noise canceling headphones and it was a special edition color 325 moisturizer i 325 dollar moisturizer i'm pretty sure i saw that on that goop list of yeah that's the most believable number out of all of that list of things. An Ivanka Trump thing for $5,900. I'm like, no. Is it real gold? Do they carry things that are that expensive at Walmart? Isn't her shit like a Walmart brand? Oh, how dare you.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Or Nordstrom's, maybe. Yeah. I don't know where she keeps that shit. Well, actually, she's getting dropped. Not to impugn Walmart or Nordstrom's. I'm just saying. Fuck Walmart. I thought that was like her.
Starting point is 00:54:24 She was like a retail brand. I didn't think she was like. No, I think it must have been like there's levels to it. You know what I mean? They probably have like at a Jared Jewelers, you know, Ivanka Trump child torture collection. Well, that's going to she's going out of business. And actually, people probably should buy up those pieces because probably like 20 years. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:44 It'll be like Nazi memorabilia. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, actually. Could you imagine in the future, like you see those fucking wild ass people in the South Hill, like Nazi rooms. Right. And this is my MAGA room. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:55 This is where I collect my MAGA memorabilia. Yeah. I got a friend who got a MAGA, one of the first MAGA hats when he thought it was like a joke. Right. Right. And he, I don't know, whatever. he got punched in the face for wearing it, which is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:55:07 That'll happen. Yeah, and great. But also that's probably going to be worth money for him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Probably. I mean, I don't know. There's probably so many grifters, though, that are just going to be like,
Starting point is 00:55:16 you know, yeah, I got this original. Because the hats are cheap as fuck anyway. And there's no ends of them. Yeah, but he got punched and there's a blood splatter. They'll be able to DNA test it back. It's like in the war memorabilia when there's like bullet holes, it's worth more.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Yeah. Like that Pepe pin that what's his name was wearing when he got punched in the face on CNN. I bet that's going to be worth money. Oh shit, yeah. That'll be something that you can like collect.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Oh, just back to Miss Verma. She only got $2,500. $2,500. $2,500. She was asking for 50. $43,000, basically. $50,000. And they're like, yeah, this is the U.S. government. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Here's $2,500. Yeah, I don't even think I could put, I don't even think, I could fill my car, I think, with everything worth anything that I own, and I don't think it'd be worth $2,500. I don't think it'd be there. $2,500. I don't think it'd be at $2,500. I don't think it'd be there. $2,500. I don't think it'd be at $2,500. My MacBook's old, you know. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:31 Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico.
Starting point is 01:03:47 So all of these... 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 hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network,
Starting point is 01:04:04 available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Pee Wee Herman's big adventure is 35 today. Yeah, or this year. This year. Right now. Yeah, let's say. This year. Or next year. Right now. Yeah, let's say it all. Let's say it.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Right now, this moment, past, present, and future, it will forever be 35. Yes. So he's probably going to move back in with his parents. Yeah. He's got no health care. Struggling financially. So anyway, I mean, it's a quick thing. We were talking about Pee-Wee's BiggerAdventure earlier because we were talking about Mr. Francis is taking a bath in the bathtub scene.
Starting point is 01:04:46 How we always wanted a gigantic bathtub and chew gum that will make our mouth black and have a servant who is Oddjob from the James Bond movies. It makes it look like you have an oil slick coming out of your mouth. That's so evocative. And fucking the truck driver, Large Marge, that was probably the scariest character of my childhood. When they did the claymation part where her eyes bugged out and shit. Yeah. That was like probably the scariest character of my childhood. When they did the claymation part where her eyes bugged out and shit? Yeah. That fucked me up. I got a real bad temper.
Starting point is 01:05:12 That's one of my favorite lines too. It's like, oh no, what'd you do? You know one of those, you know the tags that they put on the mattress? Yeah, well I cut one of them off. I got a real bad temper. Anyway, the movie's classic. Oh shit, that movie is classic. And also, don't forget,
Starting point is 01:05:26 that movie is the directorial debut of Tim Burton and Danny Elfman coming together to make Magique. But did Tim Burton do some of the TV show also? He must have. I think he did, right? Yeah, but I think this is the first film, the feature film. That TV show was the first TV show I remember watching.
Starting point is 01:05:43 That and He-Man, I would watch them at the same time. Before I started going to school, I would stay home and watch that shit. film that tv show was like the first tv show i remember watching that and like key man i would watch them at the same time like before i started going to school i would like stay home and watch that shit yeah i mean before you you just didn't go to school i think it was or you say before you're of school age yeah before i was a school age and they're like nah ma i ain't going to right yeah he was on this is all the education i need meccacca, lecca, hiney, ho, leave me alone. I got to watch this motherfucking show. Yeah, so now they're doing a huge celebratory tour, like major cities from Valentine's Day to like the end of March where you can go.
Starting point is 01:06:16 There's like you'll see the movie. There's like a Q&A. You can meet him. You can get a photo. I just want to – I love Pee Wee Herman. I remember my mom got a picture with him and i had that photo of my mom and pb herman like just it's a cherished memento for me as a child and i would show my friends it was my mom and pb herman back the fuck up and then what was the
Starting point is 01:06:38 thing he was uh sort of fake canceled in the 90s, right? Yeah. What's fully the story? He was masturbating in a pool. Masturbating in an adult theater in 1991. That is a building that is constructed specifically for men to masturbate in general. A masturbatorium? Like men with too much facial hair. Yeah, so he got in trouble for being too human. Right.
Starting point is 01:07:03 That's what it was. He was too perfectly in.. Is what it was. Yeah. He was too perfectly. He wasn't masturbating in like when I heard the story in the 90s, I like the way it registered in my brain was he was masturbating like at a children's movie basically because I associated him with children's culture. I was like, oh, Pee Wee Herman masturbating at a movie theater. Like was he masturbating in one of his own movies? Like, you know. Yeah. Because I was like oh Pee Wee Herman masturbating at a movie theater like was he masturbating in one of his own movies like you know
Starting point is 01:07:27 because I was dumb can you imagine being an adult and being mad at that because like I get that he made his show is for kids but he's such a weirdo like you would never watch that and be like oh this is a hundred percent nothing but silly fun wholesome for my children like you put your kids in front
Starting point is 01:07:44 of that because you want your kids to have like a cool weirdo edge to them. Like it was a weird psychedelic show that was like challenging and scary and dumb. Yeah. It's like that like avant-garde 80s art, like 80s, early 90s art style. Like I don't even know what the movement is called, but it was like the peak of that. Yeah. Around that time, one of the people who defended him, Bill Cosby, saying,
Starting point is 01:08:10 whatever Rubens has done, this is being blown all out of proportion. Yeah. Not to mention people like Cyndi Lauper and like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Annette Funicello. No, it wasn't blown out of proportion. But the thing was, yeah, he was at a theater in Sarasota, Florida,
Starting point is 01:08:23 and I guess people were doing, like the cops were doing, a pervert bust, and, like, they arrested three people. And then I guess when he got to the station, he was saying, like, I can do, like, a charity event. Like, can we not fucking go through with this? Right. My career.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Yeah. But they're saying, like, there was a misconception that his show was canceled as a result of this, and he had actually ended the show himself because he was like, it's going to get bad. He's like, we're running out of creative steam. You know, that's hilarious. So this happened in 91. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:50 And the police showed up. Because in my mind, I can't imagine that. The only way that plays out in my mind is like the current lens of like someone saw him and filmed him on the phone. Right, right, right. This was like old school. He got arrested by cops, like speech style. You have to be really fucking up to get canceled in the early. Right, right, right. This was like old school. He got arrested by cops, like, speech style.
Starting point is 01:09:05 You have to be really fucking up to get canceled in the early 90s, I guess. Yeah. Also, like, you know, this show, it was out there and it was diverse, too, like, back then. Larry Fishburne, man. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:09:19 He was like an underutilized, like, character actor in movies. People should put him in stuff more. Paul Reubens? Yeah. Yeah, dude. He was so good in Buffy. He was great in, I don't actor in movies. People should put him in stuff more. Paul Reubens? Yeah. Yeah, dude. He was so good in Buffy. He was great in, I didn't see Buffy. I'm sure he was great.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Was it like a big part? Did he have a reoccurring? He was like the main henchman. Oh, so he was in it a lot. But he had the funniest scene because he died for five minutes. Oh, the movie, the original movie. Oh, I got to rewatch it. Yeah, I never saw the show.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Oh, yeah, that's cool. I'm sure he's great. He's really good in Home Alone 2 or something where he plays the weird... Oh, that's Joe Pesci, you're thinking. No, no, no, no. Miles. Nick. Yes.
Starting point is 01:09:54 How is your password hygiene? What? Filthy, disgusting. So password hygiene is a term. Your habits on passwording, how you password protect your accounts. This is a cybersecurity provider has managed to get themselves in the media by complaining about how shitty our password hygiene is. Yeah, well, they're looking at how, like, because we always see the listicles that are like, these are the dumbest fucking passwords of 2018 and shit like that but this is more about like the habits that people have in regards to how they even use their their passwords which is interesting because i've fallen to some of these categories they say 40
Starting point is 01:10:34 percent of people rely on their memory to remember their passwords right alone just full-on memory and 78 percent of respondents uh to this survey had to reset their password in the last 90 days because they forgot it yeah not a great way to remember your passwords i use a password manager because i started using i i've i the one time i thought my gmail may have been hacked i fucking i went off the deep end and just started doing all like the super know, alphanumeric mixtures of emojis, even gifts, whatever I had to do. Yeah. I, uh, the only thing I do is I just try to make my passwords really, uh, like inside jokey for myself. Right. So I just try to make them fun and that's, I just remember them, but I definitely have to reset like old passwords all the damn time.
Starting point is 01:11:22 But yeah, I just try to give myself a,'m probably bad probably someone could rob me they say the other thing is that 72 percent of individuals reuse their passwords in their personal life i don't even know what that means exactly oh it's just like you always use the same password oh oh rather okay outside of work probably that's right i think that's the distinction right yeah i mean that that's that's bad i've also read that like strong password like, Microsoft issued a report back in 2014 saying, like, strong passwords are overrated. Like, nobody's trying to fucking hack your password. Dude, admin, admin, bro, all day.
Starting point is 01:11:55 But, like, as long as you're not using one of the ones that is fucking, like, admin or, like, one, two, three, four, five. Sure, sure, sure. Like, the ones that the hackers immediately guess like probably have like a code that just immediately guesses those as long as you're using one that's like personal to you i feel like it probably is oh yeah overrated i don't know i'm not a security expert right i'm the i'm the trade guy right you know yeah you're the trade you're a trade expert yeah they say uh yeah a lot of people and but they say people are way more cautious with their work accounts
Starting point is 01:12:26 than they are with their personal accounts. They found way better habits with people who are using, all their work accounts are way better secured. Well, probably because the average person is, to be honest with themselves, their personal online stuff is pointless. Right. Nobody's going to eat garbage.
Starting point is 01:12:41 But at work, you might actually need to. Well, and also work makes you change it every time. A lot of them do, yeah. They're like, oh, it's going to eat garbage. Right, right, right. But at work, you might actually need to. Well, and also work makes you change it every time. A lot of them do, yeah. They're like, oh, it's been three months. I'm like, okay, watch me add another fucking percentage sign to that. Uh-oh, you just revealed. Maybe it's not it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:54 I'm just saying a habit I know other people do. Uh-huh. But what I do, look, truth be told, it's an asterisk. Okay? Yeah. That's how you know. I mean, everybody uses it. That's how I know I'm being transparent with the audience.
Starting point is 01:13:04 You can also use acronyms to just do a sentence so that it doesn't make any sense. When you say inside joke passwords, did you ever do inside joke names in your phone book on your phone? At one point, I only had nicknames in my cell phone. Oh, really? Because I thought it was amazing to throw people. I don't know. I just wanted people to look at my phone and be like, who's Mushroom Cock?
Starting point is 01:13:26 I'm like, yeah, you don't know. Wait, you had a personal relationship with Donald Trump? With Donald Trump. Yeah, damn. No, I have to put in a short sentence, though, for everybody. Like, even my cousin Sam, he's just like, I got a Sam. Sam, the kid of my mom's sister. Who the hell is Sam?
Starting point is 01:13:39 Mom's sister's kid. Yeah, I do. Everyone's like, either last name is comedy or, you know, however I met them or podcast or, you know, so-and-so's husband or whatever. Mine's like Erica Fence. Right. Yeah. I have some real vague shit in mind that I'm just like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:58 I have like one that says Elmer Soccer Boston. I have a few weird ones. Have you ever played soccer in Boston? No, there's a dude who just moved out here from Boston who I met at a pickup game. He was like, yeah, I don't know. What do you do for fun? And I was like, I don't know if I should be kicking it. I don't know if we get along, bro.
Starting point is 01:14:15 But I'll take your number, and I'll make it weird. So when I see it, I'll be like, hmm. No, that's not weird for me. That's love. Soccer Boston for me. Yeah, Soccer Boston. I'm in. Bingo.
Starting point is 01:14:26 Let's talk about talk about real quick they're uh getting in the fake meat game uh plant-based protein trend man yeah i mean this is like the beyond meat and the other one what's the other uh impossible impossible like those are both like you know taking off making a bunch of money. Well, yeah. They're right now- Market cap is great, dude. Skyrocketing market capitalization. They're testing two meatless menu items, but sadly, it's for consumers in Spain and Finland at the moment.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Word. Because they know they won't complain over there. It's just not along. I didn't know there was Taco Bell in Cyprus. Oh, hell yeah, dude. Because they have a halloumi complain over there. Yeah. It's weird. It's not a long. I didn't know there was Taco Bell in Cyprus. Oh, hell yeah, dude. Because they have like a halloumi crunch wrap supreme. Yeah. It's the only thing that's holding that society together.
Starting point is 01:15:11 It's Taco Bell, yeah. It's more surprising that they have Taco Bell in Finland to me than they do in Cyprus. I know. Well, the food there is. Oh, you don't like Finnish food? No. Oh, man. I always finish it.

Starting point is 01:15:37 a lot of... Dude, Finnish Zeitgang, drag him. But the things that they're doing, yeah, it's like with, I don't know, oats and beans and shit like that that they're making.
Starting point is 01:15:47 My whole thing with this is, again, the beef at Taco Bell is otherworldly. Nobody ever assumed that was beef. In that I have never had beef like that in this world. Right. It's at least partially sawdust, I've always said. If it changes, I feel like this is a... In a way, I feel like they already knew what they had was probably plant-based or something. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Yeah, like, we only... It's only 2% beef. Right. But now it's like it's completely plant-based. I don't know. I think I'll just... I'll eat it either way. Because I've not...
Starting point is 01:16:17 I don't go to Taco Bell for the meat. Right. I'll go for the poison. Yeah. A little sauce on that. Yeah, a little hot fire. Fleming on a Taco Bell. I find the whole thing... I find the whole thing terrifying, like all the fake meat.
Starting point is 01:16:29 I just feel like they just know the planet's dying. We have to figure out new ways to feed people. Oh, yeah, absolutely. We'll pretend that there's a rise in veganism. I feel like it's all a conspiracy just to figure out how we're going to get pellets down our throats. Right. There's like literally no way to sustain life on this planet. I bet they're feeding us, the rich are feeding us food that is
Starting point is 01:16:52 makes our fat, or our meat nice and marbled so when They can eat us. Yeah, so when the things go to shit, they can eat us. We'll be nice and marbled. Jeff Bezos come and get me fam, cause the marbling on these thighs. Woo!

Starting point is 01:18:15 Oh, just try to – basically the takeaway is just like attempt to do things that you think are too hard because usually you can break it down to some sort of, you know, one, two, three, get it done kind of thing. But also mainly what we do is we just talk trash to each other. We've been together forever. We love each other. Like hijack a plane, start flying it.
