How are you?
Oh, I'm great.
Thank you so much for coming at the last minute, although we've been planning this for a while.
Yeah, I put the week aside, man.
I'm wearing a shirt.
I got my Daily Zeitgeist laptop case.
It's embarrassing.
Hey, you know, each one takes one year.
Just like everybody else.
And look, we are joined by a guest whose first appearance on the show was received with such
excitement, such laughter with such excitement,
such laughter, such warmth, that we had to have him back almost immediately.
It is my pleasure to introduce our guest today,
the talented musician, performer, stand-up comedian,
and all-around just finding shit on the ground enthusiast, Chris Crofton.
Hey, I'm so happy to be here. I don't have any AKAs Because I don't know Exactly what's going on
But
Everyone send Chris AKAs
For next time
I'm thrilled to be here
I really had such a great time
Last time
Oh man we had a great time too
I got so many followers
You did?
You guys have like
Oh man let me get some of those
I got so
You got the cloud boost
I'm not kidding
I mean
Hundreds of followers
Well look
On my social media
And that's all I care about
Your performance Or just your mere appearance Speaks for itself The gang does not fuck around I mean, hundreds of followers on my social media, and that's all I care about. Your performance or just your mere appearance speaks for itself.
The gang does not fuck around.
I mean, seriously.
They love you.
They embrace you.
And we are so glad to have you back.
Well, before we ask you what kind of YouTube videos you're watching this week, let's tell
people what we're going to talk about today.
You know, a new invention has come around for peanut butter, and I'm not sure we need
it.
Maybe we do.
The peanut butter pump.
We're also finding out that, you know that a fashion icon has left this earth.
We'll also talk about possible beef between Zamboni icons, Ariana Grande and Jamie Loftus,
as well as some political stuff.
Bernie's running.
Roger Stone is trying to go to jail for real or something.
And many other things to talk about.
But first, Chris, please tell us something from your search history that is a little
revealing about who you are.
Okay.
Well, most of the time on my search history, it's really just me looking for cold brew
got me like meme material.
So you could probably see me searching for things like crazy photo or
1970s keg party um but i figure i another thing i searched for and because last time the metal
detecting and the magnet fishing was such a hit i figure i might as well tell you about a thing
that i also search for a lot. Mud larking videos.
What is that?
What the fuck is mud larking?
Okay.
Mud larking, it's in the same neighborhood as magnet fishing and metal detecting, except
for mud larking, you don't even need any equipment.
You just go.
It's the Thames River in London.
Oh, it's a British thing.
And the Thames River has had cities on it, active cities all along it since 2,000 years
ago.
So there's 2,000 years of junk in that river.
And when it's low tide in London, and I guess they mudlark all along it, but mostly London,
they go down on the mud and look around and find stuff.
And there's one woman named Nicola white mudlark.
And she is like the sex symbol of the mudlark.
And her videos,
she's like,
I mean,
but the thing is like,
there's nobody else.
Like,
I mean,
she's by default the hottest.
I mean,
she's the hot,
but she definitely thinks she's sexy.
Like from her pictures.
Oh,
really?
Does she have an online presence
like i don't think so but her name is nicola white mudlark and what i love about going on
the show also is i hope i'm driving traffic to these weirdos oh you are for sure i'm looking
her up right now nicola white mudlark she also goes by tideline art because some she makes like
uh sometimes makes like fish and stuff out of stuff she finds like glass like and she finds old pipes
mainly like clay pipes like in the 19th century 18th century 17th century 16th century mostly
okay we get it
nervous breakdown he won't stop he was good last time 14th and 13th 12, 12th, 11th, not 10th.
No, they didn't have tobacco in Europe up until like, it was like 16th century when it started or something.
And they, so everybody smoked clay pipes and they threw them away.
Like after one use, like these really pretty nice clay pipes.
So there are, I mean, you got to figure four centuries of like drunk people, all the bars were by the river.
So like the river is just pretty
much has an endless supply of clay pipes that's the one thing isn't go ahead oh no i was gonna
say before i remember you talking about people who like check the rivers and like where people
river raft and you were really bummed out that they were just pulling up shit like cell phones
yes and i feel and i remember so this to you is more of a satisfying find even if it's a little
clay pipe because you just like a little bit of history.
I was about to say, Nicola is a little heavy on the clay pipes for me.
There are certain other mudlarkers that are,
she seems to only have eyes for clay pipes.
She finds them, and she never gets tired of finding them,
and she does a sort of, and this is not a joke.
Oh, she tweeted one the other day.
She does kind of a flirty, somewhat sexual thing with pipe extraction.
She's like, ooh, a pipe extraction.
She's like, let's see how much pipe is on.
It just might be a bowl, but let's see how much stem is left.
And she pulls it out kind of slow out of the mud.
It's a long one.
I don't like that.
I don't want any flirty.
You like it to the point, hi, this is a clay pipe, next.
I want to see the stuff, yeah.
I just like the idea that she's so focused
on pipes, like in one of the videos, she may have just
been overlooking, like, an actual, like,
relic. Like, it's like, that looks
like King Arthur's sword.
And it's like, but this pipe. Do you see
this pipe? But this pipe. Let's see if there's something
inside the pipe. Inside. I think she's, you know,
she's a, she's a, she's an attractive
lady. I, I cross-checked it. She you know, she's an attractive lady.
I cross-checked it.
She's a pretty lady.
She's found her niche. I'm kind of in love with her.
She's extracting shit from her.
Let's hook you up.
If I met her,
I would be starstruck.
First of all,
I would be starstruck
because I've seen her
on a screen.
Right.
Anybody you see on a screen
automatically you're starstruck by.
So I've seen her a lot.
Even if it's on your cell phone
in the subway
I would totally
yeah I would freak out
if I saw her
and yes I am somewhat
you got a crush on her?
interested in
so maybe if there's like
a VidCon or something
in the UK
and she's gonna be there
we should try and you know
I'll tell you what
she's got kind of a consistent
it looks like she wears
the same outfit a lot
she does
she's got a mudlarking outfit
what is her outfit?
she's got
she wears Chris correct me if I'm wrong like she wears the same outfit a lot. She does. She's got a mudlarking outfit. What is her outfit? She wears, Chris, correct me if I'm wrong,
but she wears a white long-sleeved shirt with black stripes on it a lot.
And it seems to be like her-
She has, like, stripes.
Yeah, tight jeans.
And she, like, poses sometimes pretty suggestively next to her fines.
There you go.
Yeah, she does pose with the fines.
She's always wearing galoshes.
So, you know, like, she's at work, but she, you know, came.
She's at work.
Those galoshes are flirty and she knows it.
She's at work, but she is ready to work.
Anyway, so I have a crush on her.
I don't have a crush on, I'll tell you who I don't have a crush on.
It's her friend, Chill Bill, who's also a mudlarker.
And he, I just can't deal with him at all.
And he finds good shit.
He actually has good eyes and he finds shit better than pipes.
But I'd rather watch Nicola find a pipe than Chill Bill find a damn chalice.
What's Chill Bill's vibe?
He's just a freak.
Like, yeah, he's like the dark side of, you know, not everybody who mudlarks and magnet fishes is charming.
And Chill Bill is one of the ones that is not.
Oh, wow.
And his name's chill bill which i
can't deal with oh did chill bill and nicola know each other yes they hang out sometimes
when they get in videos together i don't i don't like it but then again chill bill will find like
an amulet while while they regroup and nickel is always like i found nine pipes
he's like i found an old gutenberg bible i think exactly right so chill bill's got a good eye but Wow. They regroup and Nicola's always like, I found nine pipes.
He's like, I found an old Gutenberg Bible, I think.
Exactly.
So Chill Bill's got a good eye, but I can't deal with this. I don't like to look at him.
His vibe isn't good.
And then, you know, the pros and cons.
Nicola, great pipe finds, a little too pipe-centric,
and sometimes a little more suggestive than it has to be when you just find old pipes.
Yeah.
Hey, but look, get it how you live, guys.
Everyone's building their brand, man. Exactly. Because that's incredible. I want to write a fan letter find oil pipes. Yeah. Hey, but look, get it how you live, guys. Everyone's building their brand, man.
Exactly.
Because that's incredible.
I want to write a fan letter to Nicola.
You should.
This is a great movie.
But I'm not the only one.
There's no way.
She must have so many fan letters.
Write her an album.
She's definitely the hottest person in the mudlarking, magnet fishing, metal detecting
world.
Chris, write her a song.
That's how she's going to remember you.
A song where she finds me in the mud.
Yes, dude.
Just an old clay pipe.
You're the greatest find of all.
Is there a stem attached?
I don't even know anymore.
And we make a video, like a full video,
where I actually pull CGI, pulls me out of the mud.
Perfect.
And I'm wearing a Speedo and I start doing karate.
All right, this is great.
Chris, what's something that you think is underrated?
I was saying underrated.
I had a thing written down, because this is a hard one for me,
because I think you're supposed to say stuff like modern.
I'm supposed to say like-
It's up to you, man.
Listen, I'm learning.
Scrubs is underrated.
I'm just kidding.
I love using old, obsolete.
Small wonder is great.
Yeah, yeah.
That little girl, she's a robot, I guess? I'm tired of people shitting on West Wing.
I think the thing I said was,
what was I going to say was underrated?
Oh, I was going to say the live song.
You know the band Live?
The one that sang the song about being born?
What's that song?
Isn't it called Before You?
The placenta falls to the floor. Whoa. What? You know that song? Is it called like Before You or something? The placenta falls to the floor.
Whoa.
What?
You know that song.
The angel opens her eyes.
Pale blue colored eyes.
Anyway, that was the big, one of their big hits.
One of their big hits was that.
Lightning Crashes is what it's called.
It's about people being born and they talk about placentas on the floor and stuff.
And that was like a number one hit, which would never happen now.
That was, yeah, that sounds scary.
It was all about, 90s, they were like, placenta, hell yeah, let's get into it in songs.
Now it's just like, I want to fuck the club.
Yeah.
Simpler times.
But how do you get to the club?
You have to be born first.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
You got to eat, you got to crunch on the placenta, and do you get to the club? You have to be born first. You got to crunch on the placenta and then head out to the club.
Yeah, you're not going to get top 40 songs about placentas now.
That was a 90s thing.
So they had a song, though, after they were out of –
they had their big hit album that had,
I alone love you.
But they always kind of sucked.
They were always kind of annoying.
But they still were like –
I was like, oh, those songs are okay.
But there's a song after – they had a record after their big record that flopped. kind of annoying but they still were like i was like oh those songs are okay you know but um
there's a song after they had a record after their big record that flopped and there but there's a
song called um lakini's juice and that's what i'm saying is underrated because lakini's juice is a
good fucking song that sounds just as scary as the placenta song what's it about lakini's juice is about it's just about the chorus is let me
ride let me ride burn my eyes let me ride and it's so it's so good it's, I mean, it's mostly for exercising.
It's a song you can do sit-ups to.
It's a song you can listen to
before you go into a meeting
or a job interview
and you would just be like,
let me ride.
And you go in there
and you would do the interview of your life.
Right.
And they're like,
sir, welcome to Wendy's.
You're on the night team.
I like the cut of your jib.
So that's it.
My thing is Lachini's Juice.
I recommend everybody if they need to just, if they're having that's it. My thing is Lakini's Juice. I recommend everybody
if they need to just, if they're having
a bad day, throw on Lakini's Juice. You gotta
wade through the verses. How do you spell Lakini?
That's it. For all
the listeners out there trying to listen
to Lakini's Juice. We're gonna go out on that.
This is the first time someone said something like that.
Alright, we're gonna go out on that song.
Lakini's Juice is
spelled L-A-K-I-N-I.
Lakini.
I have no idea what it means.
Like live kind of screws around with like spiritual stuff.
But they're like from Pennsylvania.
Right.
So it's like spiritual Pennsylvania dudes.
So like Coco Pelly is the deepest shit to them.
Like white spiritual dudes from Pennsylvania are like Lakini.
You know what I mean?
They're like, that sounds spiritual.
Lachini's juice.
I want to see what their haircuts are.
I feel like the hair situation is not good.
And I was at Woodstock 99,
because I worked as a PA.
And I got to see-
Double brag.
I got to see-
You got to see those people die.
I saw that song, but I saw that song live. Oh, wow. From the press area. So I got to see You got to see Those people die I saw that song But I saw that song live
Oh wow
From like
From like
The press area
So I got to see
Ed Kowalczyk
Who's the singer of Live
Sing
Scream
Let me ride
Like a bunch of
I mean it was like
The end of the world
I like the idea
That you're working out
To this song
But in your mind
You're flashing back
To you at Woodstock 99
Everything's on fire
Fuck yeah man Red hot chili peppers Are still young Everything's on fire. Red Hot Chili Peppers
are still young. Everything's good.
I've never felt more alive, man.
This man called Limp Bizkit was just coming out.
That was a nightmare. We were there in 99
watching Lachini's Juice live.
That was a terrible event.
I luckily had to...
I didn't really have much.
I got to stay in a...
Everybody was involved in the event. The organizers were safe.
That's the thing.
It was an old military base,
and everyone went to stay in the old officers' quarters.
Barracks or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
So we stayed in barracks and things,
and we'd go back in during the day,
but it was a bad...
It was on a concrete airstrip.
I mean, there you go.
That's the first thing.
And you just had tens of thousands of people
just trying to ride, man, saying, let me ride me ride but yeah and ed kowalczyk was
wearing like clothes you buy it like uh while he was screaming let me ride it like whatever that
fucking boiling sea of rapists in the audience he was he was like 99 we were all there he was
wearing he was wearing like clothes you get at Filene's basement.
He was wearing a business shirt and slacks and Steve Madden chunky black shoes.
Statement, dude.
It's a statement.
It was very weird.
It's a Pennsylvania.
He was wearing mud jeans.
Pennsylvania shit.
He was like, I'm going to get dressed up.
He was dressed up like he was going to the Knights of Columbus.
What's something that's overrated, Chris?
Overrated?
Excuse me.
This has happened last time.
This is what happens when I get up in the morning.
The first thing I do in the morning, I clear my throat for really long times.
I'm old.
It's true.
It's rough.
The cold brew is hitting for you, though.
I can feel it.
Oh, yeah.
I don't usually do act outs.
You burst a blood vessel when you scream, let me ride.
Yeah, is your eye okay?
It's such a good song.
It's like...
It looks pretty gnarly, Chris.
More wine!
He says the craziest things in that song.
More, he goes, more wine!
Cause I got to have it.
More skin!
Such a filthy habit.
I mean, it's really bad, but then let me ride just clears it all away.
Overrated. Overrated.
Overrated.
I was going to say, well.
I want you to say the other live song.
Overrated.
Okay.
Overrated is, well, I was going to say Chefs or Tattoos, but.
Okay, I like this.
Well, like, the Tattoos is like everybody knows Tattoos or Overrated, but I mean, it
depends on what you get.
I think Chefs or Overrated, because I moved here from Nashville, and Nashville's going through this whole thing where chefs came in and saved everybody's life or something.
Right.
Oh, my God.
Thank God we have this sociopathic tattooed moron who came in and fried a dumpling or whatever and saved everybody.
Dude, look at that.
He has NACL tattooed.
That's salt.
The foundation of flavor.
Dude, can you believe that Thor Widgman is here in Nashville
with his amazing chain of restaurants called Corn
with no letters in it or whatever?
I mean, like, oh my God, thank God hemp came to town
because before that, how could we have ever gotten?
Everyone was on the verge of death.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean like it is,
it's sort of,
it's like a Berber cuisine mixed with like new French,
new French Canadian.
What does any of that mean?
Yeah.
Is it Berber?
I mean,
yeah,
well I think,
yeah,
I look,
I love food. So shout outs to chefs who actually know what the fuck they're doing in the
kitchen.
But I get,
you mean like this,
like deification of it, I think, is where it gets weird.
I think my thing is, I like to go to Trader Joe's and eat a wrap in the aisle.
And they just get out on the street.
Because what about the, who cares?
I'm not going to spend an hour letting some guy who rides a vintage motorcycle boil me
a cabbage or whatever they do, and then serve it to me and say it's called the green
monster or whatever they... Where have you been
eating? I like to go... Sometimes I
go to the Whole Foods hot bar
and while I'm walking through the store, I'll scoop
a little tikka masala into my hand.
Hell yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
Just palm it? Yeah, I'm petting as if I feed myself
tikka masala going through.
That's because you got shit to do.
I am busy. You got shit to do i am busy you got shit to do you
gotta go all you need is that street energy i don't have time to eat a dismantled deconstructed
yeah oh a quail foot oh a whole bag of them or whatever i don't have any time for that i gotta
get a trader joe's wrapping me i gotta get out on the street and smoke rocks smoke rocks and
scream live lyrics at the bus.
I'm all about energy.
I'm about energy and the streets.
I know it's out of fashion.
Mostly now it's about TV and outrage.
But I'm about energy and the streets.
Okay, well then.
I'm just excited about this rhetoric. I think everyone, if you get the chance to steal from a Whole Foods,
you should definitely do it because it's Jeff Bezos' store. You should steal from the troughs. That's what I'm talking about. You should steal from the troughs a Whole Foods. You should definitely do it because it's Jeff Bezos' store.
You should steal from the troughs.
That's what I'm talking about.
You should steal from the troughs at Whole Foods.
Robin Hood.
Wow.
Yeah, you're Robin Hooding
the tikka masala to yourself.
Yeah, just don't make it hot
for anybody that works there.
You know what I mean?
No, no, be super nice
to everybody that works there.
What you do is you ask,
you say, hey, my man,
if I stole this shit,
do you get in trouble?
And they go, ah, you know,
kind of, like,
and they're watching me.
Then I won't.
But if they're like, go ahead. But then they're like, if you exit through but if they're like go ahead but then they're like if you if you i always ask before i steal they're
like if you exit through the cafe entrance then it's actually i could i could say that i didn't
see wow that's what i do when i steal from the trough through the cafe guys if you want if you
want to know what it's like being a comedian in la this is what it's about this is the kind of
money we're getting your job lifting yeah stealing from. And finally, Chris, what is a myth?
A myth? I want to say
one thing. I do like chefs.
Some of them.
I don't want to say every chef's a creep.
Chefs are fine, but don't act
like a chef saved your life.
Don't act like a chef saved your life.
Okay. Come on.
Only person who saved your life was a DJ.
Have a Slim Fast and go to the bowling alley. Like a chef saved your life. Okay. Come on. Only person who saved your life was a DJ. Yeah.
You just have a slim fast and go to the bowling alley.
A myth.
A myth would be that you should be traumatized by being bald.
I don't think you should be.
I think that's the myth.
I'm busting the myth that being bald has been one of the best things that ever happened to me.
So what happened since you've gone bald?
I've gotten a lot more attention from women.
Maybe.
I don't know if that's true.
That didn't sound true.
That didn't ring true to me.
No, but I remember, this is a pump up for bald guys.
When I started losing my hair, I had curly hair.
And the hardest part was when you mess around with it.
Like, I had enough hair that I could push it around.
When you're doing the, you're playing tricks.
That's when you're a mental case.
You can't ride in a convertible.
The wind comes and, I mean, it's seriously, like, you got irritable bowel syndrome from your hairstyle.
That's what I got.
Wow.
So, you got to cut it short.
Yeah.
And get down to business. And if you need to get a pair of glasses even if they're vanity glasses
and they got no lenses
in them to do anything
just get them
it doesn't matter
you know
you gotta move on
don't get
don't hold on
shave it
and get
move on
and you don't need a weave
whoa
oh gosh
I couldn't imagine a weave
my mom told me one time
when I was losing my hair
she actually said this to me
and this is something
as a as a do's and don'ts for moms is also in my hair she actually said this to me and this is something you as a as
all do's and don'ts for moms is also in my thing don't do this to your kid she said i think that
uh losing your hair has had more of an effect on you than you realize no my god wow how do you even
tackle that just how do you and then she said you might need a weave and then she said, you might need a weave.
And then she said,
there are a lot of guys running around out there
that need weaves.
Wow.
So my mom devised the world
into bald people,
I mean,
people with hair
and people who need weaves.
See, man,
what the patriarchy
does to people,
being like,
we have to look a certain way.
You know what I mean?
Get that weave.
My mom,
because I'm losing my hair too,
and in my family,
like all the men
on my mom's side
were like bald by 30
and they would always
fuck with me
and they'd be like,
this is your fate.
And I'm like,
cool.
My mom's just so blunt.
She doesn't even offer things
like you need a weave.
She's like,
you're losing all of your hair.
And I'm like,
all right.
And she's like,
there's nothing you can do about it.
And I was like, great. And she's like,'s nothing you can do about it and I was like
great
and she's like
okay
bye
that was in a text
oh my god
because I think she saw something
in a photo
oh my god
but she's like
but that's just sort of like
our language
like we're just really blunt
and also like
what are you going to do
exactly Chris
like when you lose your hair
you got to embrace it baby
yeah
just cut that shit down
and don't
and don't highlight it though
don't talk about it
don't say like
don't wear like like a bald cross don't wear like, though. Don't talk about it. Don't say, like, don't wear, like...
Like a bald cross.
Don't wear, like, my bald spot's a sex panel, a solar set.
Don't wear that.
And don't wear, like, bald guys get more head and that kind of...
Well, you can't wear that at all.
Don't...
Are these based on real shirts?
Yeah.
The bald guys get more head thing probably people don't wear as much as they did in the
90s or the 80s.
But, yeah, don't highlight. You don't have to talk as they did in the 90s or the 80s um but yeah don't
don't highlight you don't have to talk about it nobody's worried about it what treat the thing is
i think there's like a stigma and at least in this culture of having of losing your hair so people
try and draw attention away from it or full do the american thing which is like i'm gonna embrace
this flaw so aggressively like you're saying that you can make it you don't have to make it your
brand you don't have to brand it although brand. You don't have to brand it.
Although my brand is losing my hair and having ED,
so I don't know what to do.
Damn, that's tough.
Anyway.
And you don't have to have long hair to make music.
I just want to tell people that.
Oh, yeah, good call.
I'm good at spotting veneers.
That's my only talent.
I can tell when people have veneers,
and I can tell when they're good.
I can tell when they're bad.
You can tell when someone the next day shows up with oversized teeth.
I'm just like, you got capped.
Yeah, like, why are all your teeth the same length?
You got capped is like a hashtag.
You got to do a thing like that.
You got to just share pictures of people with caps and say you got capped.
I'm not anti-veneer.
I've been known to admire some.
But it's like your teeth just got really long and all the same length.
I have veneers.
You do? Yeah, but they're
like from 1986.
Oh, didn't catch those, did you, Jamie?
I was being nice.
No, no, no, but that story
is so long. I didn't want to make it hot.
With that, let's take a quick break and we will get
back to it.
Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist
who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.
There are crooks everywhere you look now.
The situation is desperate.
My name is Manuel Delia.
I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere,
a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.
Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.
And she paid the ultimate price.

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. The story of one strange
and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

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

And we're back.
And I want to talk just very quickly about a new device that I saw on the internet that I'm not sure we need, but maybe we do.
And it's called the peanut butter pump.
Oh, I thought you were going for some freaky
some freaky shit.
This is freaky to me.
Okay.
Okay, because I realize now that like
peanut allergies are really out of control.
Yeah.
And I'm not sure why.
I'm sure there is a study.
I haven't bothered to look into why that is
because like one of the first baseball stadiums
like in Connecticut, it's like a minor league ball field.
They completely banned peanuts
or anything to do with peanuts from the stadium,
which to me, like baseball seems like a sport.
If you have a peanut allergy, you just avoid because it's so peanut laden.
Everything's about peanuts.
It's in the songs.
There's a peanut guy at every stadium that has a unique way of calling out for peanuts.
You get censored by the planters guy every time you go to a baseball game.
Yeah.
That is one way to put it.
Yes.
You do.
But so this peanut pump, now I will like, yes, peanut a baseball game. Yeah. That is one way to put it. Yes. But so this peanut pump
now I will like peanut. Yes.
Peanut. Goodness pump. Buy me
some tofu and cracker
jacks. Exactly. It's just
like a pump that you just attach to the top
of your Skippy jar and you just push it
out and ooze it on. Now I kind of
do like the idea because
in one way it makes applying
peanut to a slice of bread a little bit easier.
And you're not using knives.
And also, if your wrist is fucked up or something and you don't have the strength to get it out the jar on your own, this could be good for you.
I mean, I don't see anything.
The first thing I thought of when I saw it was like, oh, this would be great for cafeterias.
But I guess cafeterias aren't really serving peanut butter, right?
I felt like, well, back in my day, it just used to be a big ass thing with a loose knife
next to it.
Yeah.
And you would just do it DIY style, have like a big tub of peanut butter.
This is more sanitary.
Yeah.
And also-
More efficient.
You can do it faster.
Exactly.
So anyway, they were raising money on Indiegogo for like, they want a 20K.
They already like smashed that goal.
No way.
Yeah.
For 25 bucks, it could be yours.
They're already like 44 or 45,000 or something like goal. No way. For $25, it could be yours. They're already like $44,000 or $45,000 or something like that.
Holy shit.
But they want to let you know from their FAQ, yes, it works on crunchy peanut butter.
Yes, it works on other nut butters or, quote, similar products.
A full pump currently dispenses one and a half tablespoons.
Though that is subject to change in the final design.
Yes, it works with most standard jars.
No, the pump is not recommended for natural peanut butters
with oil separation. Wow.
Again, look. Of course not.
If you have an allergy, though, you don't want to have
peanut stuff spread all over the knives
and shit, I guess. You could put it in, like, you could
use it for Nutella. You could use
it for... Hey, there we go.
Now we're thinking. Couple questions.
Make it trendy. One question is
you're going to have to push down so fucking hard on that thing.
Peanut butter doesn't go through a tube unless it's some kind of loose peanut butter.
Like it's warm, right?
I think it has to be roomed.
What are they talking about?
I think that's part of probably what the design is.
Because could you imagine if they were so short-sighted?
Like, just take the thing from like fucking ketchup out of like a Costco and put
that on oh yeah they probably just want the indiegogo money and what do they have to do that
do they have to give everybody who gave the money a pump or something that's all so they got a lot
of money they can just use some ketchup pumps yeah they can give a real ketchup pump and say good luck
okay cold brew is really hitting now yeah it's a conspiracy i don't think it's a conspiracy. It's making me excited
about doing some kind of scam like that myself.
Right. Just like a thing you can't deliver
on that's seemingly possible. Like a thing that already exists, like a pump
that you have in a ketchup thing that you can sell
to people for $50,000 or whatever.
Maybe not, but I just don't understand how you...
Crowdfunding, baby. Yeah.
How do you... Hey,
there's, you know, politicians
are doing it. Peanut butter fans are doing it.
It's the way of the future.
Yeah, just doing, yeah, bunk Indiegogo campaign.
I just think it's, I find it hard to believe
that you're going to be able to pump peanut butter
through a tube like that.
Okay, well, you know what?
We'll have to, maybe someone will buy us one
and we can do a test with you.
This will be a developing story.
And that'll inspire your next bunk product.
The condom remover.
Ever tried to get a condom off?
Well, with my handy tool, you're like, what the fuck?
Had the same condom on for months and months.
It's a pair of tongs.
It's just a guy like, I don't know how to get it off.
I keep putting new ones on top.
Is that okay?
Is that safe?
I has nine kids.
Okay, so back to some real news.
Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has died.
Yeah.
Is died.
He is dead.
And, you know, peace to Karl Lagerfeld, the Fendi man, the Chanel man with the plan that love him or hate him, I don't know much about him.
Hey, same.
Love him or hate him, couldn't afford anything he ever did.
Couldn't afford it, but hey.
Don't know how I feel about it.
The cool magazines are like, LOL, he's died.
RIP.
T-T-Y-L.
Okay.
But, you know, the one thing that I do know about Karl Lagerfeld is this one quote.
And it's anathema to me.
It says, oh, gosh. I know.
You were all worked up.
He said, quote, sweatpants are a sign of defeat.
You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.
I agree. Oh, fuck some sweatpants. I agree.
Oh, fuck off, Chris.
No way!
Don't you fucking dare.
You got me fucking fired up
right now.
I couldn't disagree with this more.
I think this is the anti-
comfortable lobby.
I don't like it.
The clothing should be very fancy. Here's my thing, and I wrote this in all caps lobby. I don't like it. It's the clothing should be like very fancy.
Here's my thing.
And I wrote this in all caps because I just had to get it.
I said, they are a sign of victory, motherfucker.
Okay.
They are a sign that you don't subscribe to the belief that your clothes communicate your actual value or sense of self-worth to the outside world.
Okay.
I love it.
You know what I mean?
Because you're living for you, baby.
Because guess what?
Motherfuckers who see you in the sweatpants, they don't know the comfort you're experiencing in your sweatpants sometimes you can get stuff
written on the ass as well as what i would add to that like what what would you have i had sweatpants
that said gymnast in junior high i was i was sort of i was i know it was a hand-me-down from my
cousin who was a gymnast okay but there that i was a kid at peak writing on the ass, but I was like 12.
Right, right.
So it would be like dancer, gymnast.
Oh, we couldn't afford that, but we just had random nouns and verbs written on our ass for no reason.
I like had dancer, gymnast.
I had Broughton High School class of 2010.
They fit that on the ass.
What about bald guys get more head?
Yeah.
Sex and sex panel.
I had some protect your neck sweatpants.
Like Wu-Tang brand new ones?
No, I didn't.
I was like, whoa.
Written on the ass.
Here's my thing.
The reason I'm saying they're a sign of
defeat is I guess I'm coming from a little older
perspective. I'm a little older.
My life happened on the streets
in the 80s.
In the 80s, you didn't want to be wearing any sweatpants
because you didn't know what was coming at you. There could be
a shot of jizz coming out of the alley.
There could be a knife
fight. You don't want to be wearing some soft...
I'm sorry,
what streets were you roaming
where semen
was flying blindly out of the valley?
Lower east side of New York City.
Lower east side of New York City between 1966 and 1999, there was semen flying.
Yeah.
And you just didn't want to be wearing sweatpants.
Why sweatpants?
How are you at a disadvantage?
Street wear.
I don't know.
I'm just thinking.
Back then, it was like-
I'm just thinking.
How are you at a disadvantage?
Street wear.
I don't know.
Like, you know, I'm just thinking.
Like, back then it was like- I'm just thinking, man.
When you left the house back then, it was like anything could happen because there was
no internet.
So you had to go outside to experience shit.
So you just like were like strapped on.
You got leather pants on.
You got your helmet-
Strapped on.
Well, hold on.
Strapped on with your leather pants.
You got your strap on.
Hold on.
You got your leather pants on.
You got your fucking-
You're ready for any kind of sex.
You got your ball gag in.
You got your leather mask. You're ready for every kind of sex. You got your ball gag in. You got your leather mask.
You're ready for every kind of sex.
Yeah.
Sex happens on the streets.
There's no apps.
There's two kinds of people.
People who fuck and people who wear sweatpants.
You know what's soaking through your sweatpants back then?
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
Okay.
Jizzing through your sweatpants.
Motor oil.
Yeah, motor oil.
That's what we called it back then.
It's a different time period.
You can wear sweatpants all the time now.
I guess that's my young person privilege.
That's true.
Yeah, we're too comfortable.
I can walk the streets with sweatpants and not have to, well, you still kind of wear
weird shit, but look, I'm just out here wearing sweatpants.
Yeah, but it's not pants exclusive.
R.I.P.
Carl.
I'm surprised that Carl didn't get in on the velour sweatsuit trend of the early 2000s.
That seems like something that he might have capitalized on.
Well, he can't now.
He's dead.
You've seen what he wears, too.
So he has a lot of nerve telling anybody what to do.
He wore driving gloves.
He had a cat that had two butlers.
What? Oh, I like that.
I'll bring it back to life.
It was like, the cat eats with me on the table.
It's like a woman. It eats her own food
and doesn't eat mine. I don't know why I'm doing this.
That makes me mad.
I want enough money for a cat with two
butlers. You're doing a Werner Herzog.
Werner Herzog. But that is what
I think when Karl Lagerfeld speaks
about cats. Alright, well fuck
Karl Lagerfeld because it's just elitist stuff.
He's just saying because I made it big. Everybody else
is lazy. Yeah, but you know, shout out
to the fashion if you can afford it.
Let's move on to some real people stuff
because Bernie Sanders is running for president. out to the fashion if you can afford it uh let's move on to some real people stuff because bernie
sanders is running for president he announced on tuesday he's hopping in the mix yeah and off top
i will say this his chances are good to at least make it to the final group of people because just
off this name strength the strength of his brand uh but i think there's a lot he has so much more
to contend with this time around,
being that he's not just in a two-horse race
where it's just trying to define himself
as being different than Hillary,
because now you have so many progressive candidates in there.
It's going to be a little hard for Bernie this time around.
That's interesting. It's true.
Yeah, I don't know.
I was excited when I heard this announced.
I mean, they've been teasing it for a long time i still think that bernie lines up closest with my values and so i'm excited on that end but i do i don't know i was talking about it
with my brother this morning i'm like i do like something something feels a little i don't know
like does that make sense i'm just like well i mean it's good but also it's you know it's february
2019 so who gives a fuck to an extent yeah he's running sure i mean like i'll reserve any takes Does that make sense? I'm just like, it's good, but also it's February 2019,
so who gives a fuck to an extent?
Yeah, he's running, sure.
I mean, I'll reserve any takes until I see everyone in a debate
because, like I said, love him or hate him,
he did pull a lot of the Democratic ideology,
the party, the platform to the left.
Right.
I like Bernie a lot.
In that sense, I'm like, okay, great.
There are things that I'm like, oh, forgot like african americans are part of the coalition you need to build to uh
wait to take the white house so you have a big blind spot there my man and a little the few
questions are being asked of uh the environment on his campaign that was particularly hostile for
women but i think these are things that you right now, a lot of the other candidates or
people who have announced are reserving their mudslinging. They're like trying to be like,
OK, well, that's good for him. But I'm sure at some point, like all these candidates,
the tough questions are going to be asked. And they're going to go for the age as well.
It's going to I think that's going to be a huge point of contention that comes up with him because
he and Trump are such older candidates, which
I don't even know where I fall on that.
But that was the first thing that I saw people coming at him for this morning when that broke.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, we'll see.
They're all old, though.
I mean, Joe Biden's like 80 years old or something.
Yeah, Joe Biden's old, too.
He's talking about running.
And he should not be running either.
Joe Biden, if Joe Biden runs, damn.
I mean, he will, but no.
Yeah, that's going to be tough.
But I think that's where those debates are going to get.
You know, just the same way people – what's crazy to me too is like, you know, when he was running against Hillary,
like she had – she was like on tape like calling black people like super predators and shit like that.
Yeah.
And like he was still actually not as, you know, popular as she was.
And I think there's a lot to think about, too.
Like there are a lot of people who voted for Bernie because they just were no matter what anti Hillary.
And there are some people who are, you know, true Democratic socialists who like rock with his agenda.
And those people aren't moving.
It's those other people, too, who are just more like, I don't want Hillary.
I like Bernie.
Are those people going to stay with him?
I don't want Hillary. I like Bernie. Are those people going to stay with him? Because as in terms of small dollar donations, like he has by far like the strongest apparatus to achieve that kind of fundraising.
He's raised over a million dollars since announcing.
So, I mean, it's like insane the sort of response that he gets.
And this time it's like he doesn't have to go from not being anyone to defining himself and overcoming like the lack of media coverage that happened during the 2016 election with him.
And I don't know. I mean, I think it'll be a very different like I think people will probably be more critical of him this time because now everyone knows what democratic socialism is.
And like there's not quite the same idealistic learning curve there was when I mean, when I was learning about him in 2016'm like i didn't i didn't have any clue what the dsa was i didn't know what any of that shit was
uh and so he was like exciting and new but it's like now like you're saying there's a lot of
different people and viewpoints uh in in dust stable yeah i just know that uh he's walked the
walk for such a long time like my whole whole time growing up, I didn't even understand politics or give a shit about them.
Uh,
when I was,
you know,
18,
19,
whatever,
because I was just into beer.
I was into corporate beer.
Um,
yeah,
heavy into Anheuser-Busch,
uh,
as a rebel rebellious act.
I was drinking a tremendous amount of beer.
Um,
and,
uh,
I was kind of an outlier drinking a lot of,
uh,
Anheuser-Busch,
but,
uh, he he you know always there would be this guy i didn't know who it was but he always said the thing that made sense
and like everybody was like ah shut up you know i mean basically like every like this whole thing
where everybody'd be like we need to do this horrible thing and he'd be like no we shouldn't
and i just remember him all those years and i i thought basically that he was like illegal or i
was like well he's not a real senator because everybody just tells him to shut up or something right so I just like that he
and I've heard from people like oh my friend my friend Alex interacted with him he said he's a
jerk you know what I mean and I was like well you know you got to figure everybody that level
somewhat of a he said he's really headstrong he thinks he's right about everything but you know
I mean like I don't I know that he needs i think he got some education on that last run about some
stuff that he should be he said that in his radio interview where he was like i realized i did a
terrible job with outreach to african americans yeah it's like if he thinks that just by solving
economic things that that will help everybody then he needs to say that more explicitly and
not just say it like, oh yeah, I'm not talking about race. I'm talking about economics.
He just has to be more sensitive. And I think maybe he learned that and it was stupid of him
the way he talked about it. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, I hope that he actually did,
but part of me is a little hesitant because I know people who are very progressive who just
choose to do the, well, if everyone's on the same foot, like economically, then all these other things go away. And I think that's a very myopic view.
But again, I know, but I do understand the argument too, that is about making sure everyone
is first has their needs met because then you can operate with a little more good faith with
each other in that sense. But yeah, he needs to, he hit me. You can't have any politics if you're
poor, you just can't have them. So I get his point about that. If you're poor, you can't have any politics if you're poor. You just can't have them.
So I get his point about that.
If you're like worrying about the bills, you just can't do anything.
You can't do anything.
You have to work all the time.
And that's all you can care about.
And you would love to do whatever you could probably to help anybody, but you have no time.
But I think even people who are because like, you know, his his run in 2016 pulled like everything to the left.
Yeah. He's dealing with a lot of people who are talking the same talk as he is, too.
I mean, like Elizabeth Warren has a lot of the same campaign points as he does now.
Yeah. So it's going to be I think what's interesting is like it's going to be less about personalities,
like because everyone's now just sort of like differentiating themselves with like the ideas they have of trying to achieve the thing we have to like amy klobuchar on monday i want to say like at her town hall someone asked
like oh do you think medicare for all is possible she's like no she's like yeah and i can't and
she's trying to put herself as like i'm going to be the pragmatic person who's just going to try
and be like what is the thing we can achieve like i i understand people want this thing but how can
we do that i i don't i don't know if I totally agree with her assessment of like what can be done with health care.
But, you know, that's how she's sort of differentiating herself.
And it's no longer like, oh, is it the woman versus the old white guy versus the whatever?
It's like whose version of policy?
Which is great.
I mean, it's like good that there's more voices out there that you have to choose from.
So it doesn't come down to like quite such an,
like an identity based decision.
You know,
I just,
I just,
I think the best thing about Bernie was he changed the conversation and it forced a lot of other people to embrace ideas that they never would have been talking about.
And so if it's not Bernie,
it's going to be different because of Bernie.
And I'm grateful for that,
for him, for him, for that.
So I'm excited, you know, that we're at least I mean, that's the only upside to Trump is that he's made everybody politically activated, you know, and realize what their priorities are.
And that's that's kind of great.
I think another interesting point that super producer Nick Stump was bringing up is you know a lot of people i mean i saw even firsthand when i was kind of doing like very light coverage of the election in 2016 as i'd
go to trump rallies and talk to people and a lot of people were like i was for bernie until hillary
got the nomination and now i'm for trump those people are insane yeah and i think what would
be interesting is like is he going to be able to draw these people who may have voted for trump
are are those the sort of moderates who thought oh i'll just go with trump who might come back into the fray and then
and to some extent i mean i think there was a lot of in that election people making a point like
there were people in my family who like fucking voted for jill stein or did not vote at all
because they were so upset that bernie didn't get the nomination and it's like you know small
factions like that and people who are able to flip to Trump,
like, I mean, whatever the logic is,
but at least a little bit out of spite,
you know, were part of the reason
that he was able to be elected.
And so I think hopefully in 2020,
the general public has some sort of understanding
that that's not a productive thing to do.
Yeah.
No, especially, yeah,
now that we see the world that we're living in.
But again, you know, it's early doors still.
So we'll see who walks the walk and who talks the talk.
And who knows, we might end up being like, what?
Pete Buttigieg or Beto?
Howard Schultz.
Yeah.
Well, I think we also, too, a lot of progressives or liberals are so desperate and despondent
about like the current situation that anything, well, it's the Mueller probe or a candidate who seemingly
could win an election, everyone's like,
oh, Jesus Christ, please fucking get something.
I want to see a president with a hump.
There we go. Well, let's get
Quasimodo. That's what I'm talking about.
Quasimodo, Esmeralda 2020.
Stop doing central casting.
And Esmeralda's goat.
Esmeralda will be president
and Quasimodo should be the vice president. I'm down for that. I want a president that has anda's goat. Yeah. You know, Esmeralda will be president and Quasimodo should be the vice president.
Yes.
I'm down for that.
I want a president that has an emotional support goat.
There you go.
Let's move on to Roger Stone since we're talking about Trump fuckery a little bit.
Just really quickly, this dude is a fucking moron.
And I don't know how else to put this shit.
Because on Monday, he posted a picture of the federal judge presiding
over his case Paul Manafort's case and the other one against the GRU which is like their Russian
intelligence operation that was hacking the fucking emails yeah it's her photo of Amy
Berman Jackson with like what looks like a crosshairs like a you know a rifle crosshair
like near her head and it says through legal trickery, deep state hitman, Robert Mueller has guaranteed
that my upcoming show trial
is before Judge Amy Berman Jackson,
an Obama appointed judge
who dismissed the Benghazi charges
against Hillary,
or he said again Hillary,
Clinton,
and incarcerated Paul Manafort
prior to the conviction
for any crime,
blah, blah, blah,
fusion helped me fight my fight.
And then he puts his shit up
for his legal defense fund
because he's broke.
Yeah.
Because I think, you know, up until this point roger stone has basically been living in a
consequence-free world uh and didn't really realize that legal fees for fighting a federal case
might stack up be a bit steep i mean talk about the dark side of crowdfunding yeah yeah and before
he used some shit he was selling roger stones which were stones with his name on it that he
would sell you because he
autographed it and then that would give you like uh oh wait those sound pretty cool yeah what yeah
well look i mean they might be still for sale to help his legal defense fund fuck roger stone
piece of shit motherfuckers i mean you can bottom feeder he like dresses like he dresses like he's
at a steampunk convention 24 7 like he just just has no grip on reality. He has some cool eyewear sometimes.
He's got fits.
He's an idiot.
The thing was his, I don't know, someone clearly told him, he's like, I would take this the
fuck down, Roger Stone.
You don't want to be putting photos of the judge presiding over your case.
Right.
Not even anything that could remotely be suggesting any kind of violence towards a federal judge.
So then he took it down without less, he had a photo that was less crosshairs.
He didn't have a bold face crosshair.
It was like a zoom,
zoom in on her face.
And then he took that one down because I was like,
dude,
just stop doing this.
And then did like a text post of like,
I had previously put a photo of judge Amy,
like,
and tried to fucking clean it up.
It didn't work.
Pulled that again to the point where his lawyers
literally filed
a notice of apology
with the court
to basically say
undersigned counsel
with the attached authority
of Roger J. Stone
hereby apologizes
to the court
for the improper photograph
and comment posted
on Instagram today.
It says Instagram
also.
Mr. Stone recognizes the impropriety and had it removed.
That's so funny.
He went on to blame like an intern or some shit.
Okay, a young person could not possibly have conceived this.
I was like, you know what would be cool?
As if like we kind of do diet inciting of violence.
Light inciting of violence.
Lighthearted calls for violence.
This is, I mean, you can tell by the Photoshop job, by the font, by the typos, this was not done by a youth.
Unless that youth was fully on meth.
Right.
Like, this is an old person Instagram post.
Roger Stone reminds me of a youth on meth.
He has that vibe.
And then, so, what happened was, you you know the judge does not fuck around with this
kind of shit and you know when you like i said when you consider how substantial her role is
in this muller investigation like presiding over the manafort case and this other one against
russian intelligence like she is a big deal and she's not gonna let shit like this stand
so she clapped back with like another order for Mr. Stone saying that Roger Stone Jr. defendant is ordered to show cause at a hearing to be held on Thursday, February 21st as to why the media contact order entered in this case and or his conditions of release should not be modified or revoked in light of the posts on his Instagram account.
On his Instagram account.
So basically that is what in legal terms we call a pull up with that same energy order to come to court,
which essentially could mean that she could be like, you know what, man?
I think you need to be in jail.
Or she could drastically affect his liberty.
I mean, I truly think that just everyone needs to like log out this year for a little while and get their fucking bearings. But this, I mean, it is, I think, generally positive for him ending up in jail, which
seemed like an inevitability anyways.
But who knows?
Guys like this get away with shit all the time.
But if he's fucking going off on Instagram and that makes it easier to put such a storied
criminal in jail, then good.
Yeah.
Like, fuck it.
It's funny that the internet, I mean, has changed.
I mean, obviously changed everything, but it's really, it's not something that those
older people really grasp.
So they don't understand that this is a new, they don't, it's really kind of funny to watch.
They're so used to getting away with shit because before the internet, it was so easy.
There was nothing to worry about. They could do all this shit in the dark they had connections they had lawyers that they don't know what to do so they think they can still do shit
like they're like oh i can put up an instagram post because no i never have experienced any
consequences ever so like what what are the consequences oh wait there's real consequences
like how many people see that do a lot of people see my Instagram post?
It's like my dad sending like a – putting a post up or sending a quiet – what do you
call it?
Listen to me.
I am old.
Listen, you know what?
He's sending a quiet message.
My dad is trying to send a quiet message on Facebook.
A direct message?
But it ends up being a post.
You know what I mean?
He sent like something very sensitive to a friend of his that was like, well, my dad's just
always being negative, so he was insulting somebody or something.
And he put it up as a post.
As a status update.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
These people don't quite know.
Right.
And it's great.
It's great because the patriarchy is going to go down eventually, hopefully faster than...
But the internet has helped a tremendous amount.
Especially when you consider Paul Manafort.
They figured a lot of his shit out because he was sending
emails,
like,
in text me,
like,
I don't know how to,
like,
doctor up this PDF.
Right.
Help me forge this document.
How do I kill more people
fast?
They don't even know
how to encrypt shit.
They have no idea
what they're doing.
you know,
it's great.
I'm sure that this,
and I'm sure that this post
matches up with all 900
of Stone's Rules
or whatever the fuck it is but like
it's just like that doesn't work anymore you can't you can't do that what's stone's rules you gotta
go to jail yeah stone's rules baby stones all right well let's uh let's talk about some more
stone rules uh during this break and we'll be right back Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.
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.

And we're back.
And let's just, I mean, I guess we should talk about this because we're talking about presidents and the families of presidents and what that could mean.
And why, Jamie, won't the press just let Malia Obama live?
I don't know. Couldn't tell you.
Let her fucking live.
It's so this is for some. I mean, and it's it's kind of goes without saying that the children of presidents, especially the female children of presidents, have been harassed by the media from time immemorial. But Malia, especially from this specific outlet,
from the Daily Mail,
the Daily Mail is just following Malia Obama around.
And so this week they caught her in Miami,
wait for it, drinking rosé, but she's 20.
Oh, fuck.
I know.
I mean, she's canceled.
Unfortunately, she drank underage, so she's can't she's canceled unfortunately she's she drank under age so she's canceled she's canceled i'm like i was like blackout drunk at my fucking freshman
finals like they're whatever she's fine uh but and and then uh later which she also has
a facebook account that's no not under a name? I can't imagine why this would be.
And she had posted two years ago some anti-Trump sentiments.
Can you believe this?
Wait, what were these anti-sentiments?
Okay, so, Malia Obama radically wrote on four Post-its.
Oh my God.
I know.
She wrote on four pink Post-its and then hung it up. I'm pretty sure that this was also something that John Oliver instructed people to do
on his show at the time, but she wrote
Donald Trump is president. This is not
normal. Donald Trump is evil. Don't
be complacent. Which is
whatever. She should
be on a watch list. I mean, we have to
be careful because she has also been caught
by the Daily Mail doing things like
playing beer pong. That's all right.
Kissing a boyfriend.
Wearing a bathing suit.
They gave her shit for having a... That's like
the most normal bathing suit in the world.
My fucking...
It said like
Malia Obama flaunts
bathing suit. I'm like, no, you're a pervert.
Like for real, flaunts. Flaunts?
Flaunts bathing suit. She was caught smoking weed
at Lollapalooza and then the next year she She was caught smoking weed at Lollapalooza.
And then the next year she was not caught smoking weed at Lollapalooza.
She was just caught dancing to The Killers, which is, I think, the worst defense on the entire list.
That is funny.
It's just, I mean, it's obviously bullshit, but it has just become one of the many stories in this weekend's news cycle that people have given undue attention to.
And even the, like, I feel stupid talking about why it's stupid that we're talking like that's too
many just it's racist that's all it is she's in college yeah i mean because even yeah he's just
plain racist chelsea ever get this much attention she did like were they being like she's smoking
oh i remember yeah the bush i can remember fake ids IDs. And that was like and I'm sure and I'm not saying that it's not like racially driven as well.
But I mean, this does happen to all of the children of presidents and past presidents.
But it does seem like especially because it's social media related now.
And they're really the like Sasha and Malia are the kids that existed in the white house while
there was social media that that they're piled on especially hard for a number of reasons well
and i think maybe the part that is more you know i think they'll always report about you know they
love the clickbait of like oh this first child did this but i think it's the amplification that
comes from people with a little more like racial animus that are just like, oh yeah, look at fucking Obama's I can't do it,
pounding roses.
Drinking roses.
The reaction and the difference
in reaction to where white people
will be like,
oh, Brett Kavanaugh,
boys will be boys.
He mentions being drunk
like 58 million times
in his fucking confirmation hearing.
Hey, you should be on the Supreme Court.
And like,
well, the Obama's drinking rosé
and I'm sure the reaction to that
is like, oh my God.
Right.
Oh, Jesus.
Look it, she's running wild
oh she has a kendall jackson tattoo and fucking brett kavanaugh runs wild and it's like oh he's
just he's just sowing his oats right i mean well it's like this is like bullshit and everyone knows
it's bullshit and i'm just leave her the fuck alone she's in college people were making a big
deal about how much the rosé costs it's just like who gives a fuck
we should talk about
important shit
let's just stop it
we gotta stop
we should be talking
about the important shit
the 1971 interview
that John Wayne did
yeah let's get to that
speaking of being cancelled
what the fuck happened
Jamie
cause you're like
you came in this morning
you're like
yo did you hear about
that John Wayne article
like he's cancelled
and I'm like
he's dead
he's been dead for 40 years
and yet it can be both you he's been dead for 40 years and yet it can
be both you can be both dead for 40 years and absolutely canceled did you know what till the
hun was problematic right well this is well this is like another one of those stories where you're
just like i mean yeah but why was the there's other things we could talk about. There was a Twitter user who I'm assuming found his dad's old Playboy issue when he was home visiting or something.
He was like, oh my.
He just pulls this random issue of Playboy from 1971 and there is a Playboy interview with John Wayne.
I remember I used to work in the Playboy archives, brag.
So I remember that this interview is not good,
but it's like, if you read any interview with John Wayne,
it is not good.
If anyone is familiar,
it's like he famously played characters in blackface.
He played characters in yellowface.
He was nominated for Oscars for doing this shit.
He is bad.
It is so confusing to me. It's not omg gasp surprise they're like wait
hold on a second like civil rights activist john wayne like feminist icon john wayne said these
things and and they are horrifying i mean i don't even want to repeat them i don't want to you know
what's the point but there's yeah he says homophobic things about the movies Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy because 1971.
He says very racist things about Angela Davis and about the black community in general.
I mean, even in the cover photo of this story, he literally says, quote, I believe in white supremacy.
It's just like he is not like he's
a bad person yeah well let's finish that quote i believe in white supremacy until the blacks are
educated to a point of responsibility i don't believe in giving authority and positions of
leadership and judgment to irresponsible people mean black people okay well anyway it's it's just
i mean he's horrible it is so weird that this is a story right now.
It would be interesting if Gloria, if they dug up a Gloria Steinem interview where she said that shit, then that would be interesting.
Right.
It's so weird.
But to look back at a time where we know there was so much progress to be made, even fucking now.
Right.
And to be like, I can't believe that.
It's just like, yeah, that's that's you're looking at a bygone era.
There has to be a daily outrage. And I guess that's the daily they they couldn't have one there was no
current one so they were like hey what about this one in 1971 what about there's like a white
supremacist that are alive well and currently serving an office like what or on fucking tv
exactly it's fucking ridiculous but i mean i i would would just like to say as problematic as Playboy is as a publication, I read through the interview and I would give slight props to the interviewer guy who I'd never heard of before.
But his name is Richard Warren Lewis, who asked the questions that got all this like bullshit on paper, because it's like if you're doing a profile of someone you don't have
to ask them questions like that he could have very easily done a glorified like a real playboy
when it's like wow your bulge is pretty big what a fucking baller over here how do you walk with
that big ass those balls bro yeah i mean it's like obviously it's like why even give this guy
a platform even in 1971 but at least if if that the subject, at least they got all his bullshit out
so people could, I don't know, talk about it on Twitter.
It's just very odd.
It seems like an SNL sketch.
It's surreal.
There's nothing to be achieved by it.
It's just outrage porn, plain old.
I mean, it's just like, we got nothing to post about today,
so let's dig this shit up.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
This doesn't move anything further.
The fucking 1971 was a long time ago
and 1971 was what it was.
I mean,
like Stonewall Jackson
had some hot takes on Native Americans.
It's just like,
listen,
if you live near his grave
and you got to pee today,
take a pee pee on it.
Whatever.
But it's just.
But John Wayne,
I mean,
this is useless. I think this is But John Wayne... But this is useless.
This story is silly.
I think this is useless outrage because that doesn't change him in any way.
He died with these beliefs.
It's just sport.
So why are we giving it a platform again?
It's sport.
It's not activism.
It's sport.
That's all I can say.
It's not activism.
There's no way to be activist about John Wayne.
It's not activism.
It's just... It's sport. It's just activism. There's no way to be activist about John Wayne. Right. It's not activism. It's just, it's sport.
It's just so dumb.
Everyone should hit the streets, put on a sturdy pair of pants.
Mm-hmm.
Seamless flying at the alley.
And smoke rocks on a loading dock.
Let's get back to nature.
I mean, it's definitely very case by case.
In this case, I don't see point of of this story being talked about
right now there's no point and if you if you want to get mad about shit just read the regular news
you don't find these articles about canceling people it's not like you can find your daily
dose of injustice it's not a slow fucking news day i was like what is i don't know it's just weird
anyways john uh john wayne's canceled sig for the right and i'm also gonna say john wayne casey
also canceled john wayne oh my who else he's canceled just Siegfried and Leroy. And I'm also going to say John Wayne Gacy also canceled. John Wayne Gacy.
He's canceled.
Oh my.
Who else?
He's canceled.
Just stop there.
I couldn't imagine anyone else who would cancel. I got a list.
Who else would you cancel?
I got a list.
I would.
Okay.
I would cancel.
Don't cancel Ted Bundy.
Listen.
No.
I mean, well, that seems to be up in the air right now.
Ted Bundy's too hot to cancel.
No, he's not.
He's too hot.
I'll also cancel John Wayne Bobbitt.
He's canceled.
Because I did. If you've watched the Lorena Bobbitt he's canceled because I did
if you've watched
the Lorena Bobbitt
documentary on Amazon Prime
very good
really enjoyed it
I thought it was
very well done
but he has
a ton of John Wayne
shit in his house
because John Wayne
is now the framed poster
and coffee mug dude
for racist old guys
that's why
and that's why
because of interviews
like this
it's just what
John Wayne Bobbitt
canceled John Wayne canceled John Wayne Bobbitt canceled.
John Wayne canceled.
John Wayne Casey canceled.
I want to cancel Joey Botafuco.
Oh, my.
Cancel him.
Wow.
Well, this is the social justice outrage hour.
All John Waynes are canceled.
Well, thank you so much, y'all, for joining me.
It has been a pleasure.
Chris.
Yes.
Where can people find you, follow you, support you? Well, people should go buy my record album, my music record on Arrowhawk, the labels Arrowhawk
Records, because someone did message me and said, you're funny, so is your music a bit?
And my music is not a bit.

It's real.
It's real it's real it's real uh sadness um and uh and you can get the
record at arrowhawkrecords.com or uh or you know go on like bandcamp for arrowhawk records
and uh you can also follow me on at the crofton show and you can follow me at chris underscore
crofton on Instagram. Instagram.
Instagram if you are a lawyer.
As the old white guys say.
Yami Lofty, where can people find you?
You can find me on Twitter.com at Jamie Lofty's Help and on Instagram at Jamie Christ Superstar.
And listen to the Bechdel cast.
It comes out on Thursdays.
Yeah, Bechdel cast.
Oh, also are there tweets you guys like?
Any tweets you remember?
I just want to get those out there so we can bless the people. Oh, also, are there tweets you guys like? Any tweets you remember?
I just want to get those out there so we can bless the people.
I tend to like all my tweets at the Crofton Show.
They're really good.
Oh, here's something fun.
Maybe some people at the table won't like this, but Elizabeth Brunig at E-B-R-U-E-N-I-G tweeted today,
Regarding John Wayne, I have already preemptively canceled
all persons born before 1985 as a
matter of national security.
Weren't we just talking about that?
That we would have to cancel everybody before like 1980 something.
Yeah, I think she decided the year, which is great.
There's a tweet.
Then I'm canceled.
You're done.
Gotta go.
What year?
85.
Oh, I'm canceled.
I'm the king of Cancelvania.
So, yeah, I want everybody, my tweet that I like is best name for my new delicatessen,
and it's a poll, and everybody needs to vote in it.
Right now, the choices are Chris's Meat.
This is like my new delicatessen I'm opening.
Okay.
Chris's Meat, Bacon, Lettuce, and Fun, Meat and Greet, M-E-A-T, or Beef Alley.
Right now, Beef Alley's in the lead.
I think I'm with Beef Alley.
Okay, Beef Alley's probably going to win.
Okay, I think Bacon, Lettuce, and Fun's pretty nice.
And Chris's Meat.
But anyway, go vote in my Twitter poll.
That's my tweet that I like.
You can find me and follow me on Twitter and Instagram at
MilesOfGrey.
Let's see. A tweet
that I like. Yes.
This is actually just... It's
really stupid, but I just kind of... I like
the construction of it. It's from Adam Conover
from Adam Ruins Everything. Someone tweeted at him
and just said, I just want to say I used to really not like
you, but after I watched a few of your videos,
I started to like you more and more.
And now your show, Adam Wins Everything, is one of my favorite shows to watch.
And he just quote tweets that and he says, the hero's journey.
That was good.
That show is deceptive because like Her Majesty used to work on that show.
And a lot of people, I think initially they're like, oh, OK, let's see what it's about.
And then towards the end, like even people who are very conservative end up thinking very radically. Like, oh, I learned something.
Yeah, that is bullshit.
Wait a second.
Redlining?
Huh?
Well, yes.
And you can follow us, The Daily Zeitgeist, at Daily Zeitgeist on Twitter, at The Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram.
We have a Facebook page.
What else?
We've got a...
What is that called?
A website?
I think it's www.dailyzeitgeist.com
where you can find our links to the different shows
along with our footnotes.
Footnotes.
Oh, thank you.
Sorry much.
As well as the song we ride out on,
and I think we know what that's going to be.
Chris, can you intro the ride out song?
I sure can.
Everybody get their biking shorts on
that say Radical on the side
and get in the sit-up position.
With a square root symbol.
And thank you.
Also, thank you so much for having me back on here.
It's so fucking fun.
Oh, yeah.
And thank you, Daily Zeitgeist.
And thank you, Jamie Loftus and Miles and Anna and Nick, too.
So, yeah, this is Get Ready.
This is something that's going to motivate you to quit your job and get out there and put on your pants and get on the loading docks.
This is called Lachini's Juice.
And the band, please.
Oh, by Live.
There we go.
By the number one band in Holland still.
There we go.
You heard it here first.
That's that.
We'll see you tomorrow because it is a daily show. Later.
Bye.
Bye. Let me rise
