Well, Lydia, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. Let's do it. And judge for ourselves how moderately smart you are.
Starting point is 00:05:54 As you should. But first, just a couple of the things we're talking about today. We are going to give you the least surprising update on trampoline parks that I've ever heard. We're going to talk about that article from a few days ago that got just the terrible ratios on Twitter, like more comments than likes. Just to hell. Yeah, about how she never hires anybody who doesn't send a thank you note. Oh, yeah. We're going to talk about Candice Owens a thank you note. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:28 We're going to talk about Candace Owens. I got words for those too. Ilhan Omar. We're going to talk William Barr. Not all of our stories will rhyme though. Lil Nas X being number one. The rebirth of Subway. And Aunt Becky and her incarcerated
Starting point is 00:06:44 future. But first, Lydia, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are or where you are? I had to literally Google, how do you find your Google search history? Oh, okay. There you go.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Because I am not a very tech-savvy person. I found out that I don't Google anything, but I look at maps a lot. Cause I am a constantly lost bitch. Like, it's just like maps, maps, maps,
Starting point is 00:07:10 maps, maps, maps, maps. And then it was like, how do you find search history? And it's like maps, maps,
Starting point is 00:07:15 maps, maps, maps. And it was like Roquefort cheese made with sheep's milk. Maps, maps, maps. Best dab rig 2019.
Starting point is 00:07:22 exactly. That's, that's pretty much it. When you say maps, you're not, you're not writing in an actual location. You're just typing maps into the Google search engine. Yeah, I do that a lot. I do that a lot. Maps.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Because Google's the platform. Give me maps. I called it Googles, by the way, in case you didn't catch that. Yes. It confuses me. I've been known to Google Google. Right. I just, yeah, I'm a slow lady.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Did you move down to LA recently? Four years ago. Four years ago. Yeah. So it's still early stages. Like, I'm still heavy on the ways. Well, for me, it's mostly, I'm looking at traffic, right? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:55 To be very honest, that's what I'm, I'm obsessed with, like, okay, where am I in now? How long does it technically take to get there? Now, what's the time that I want to leave? What are the traffic predictions? What should I do? Surface. I'm always just trying to find. I'm obsessed with back roads.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Yeah. Oh, really? So I'm just trying to find like a squiggle. Oh, so are you like mapping it out yourself? You're like, I could go this way. Yeah. Like I look at their suggestion and I'm like, do they really know what's going on? Because they present you like a suggestion based on an algorithm that the most people
Starting point is 00:08:21 are going at that time. Yeah. So that's how like when you go like, Hauser, for example, like if you're coming from Culver City into Hollywood, and you'll notice everyone and their grandmama's waiting in line to turn left on Hauser, but if you just pop up two more blocks to Redondo player, you in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:36 You make it left on Redondo, you cruise all the way up, and you skip that stuff. Yeah. So that's what I do. You got to, the maps are a suggestion, but I'm trying to find my own way. So you're using the algorithms to, like, just sort of augment your own ability you gotta re-up sometimes because especially if you see like three cars making a random left turn you know and you're they're on that google hype they're on the same train yeah exactly and listen I one of my
Starting point is 00:08:59 my first grown-up jobs after college was uh being a beer and burrito delivery driver in san francisco so you better believe i take my shortcut seriously right right i was gonna say like when you're living in so much joy yay area were you that dependent on maps or was it already main mainframed and it was pretty mainframed and also that was the time when like that didn't exist so it was like you had to print out like oh right you had to print that shit yeah yeah exactly let me take him when you're like delivering food you don don't like, you can't like be like using up the bandwidth. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:26 They're like print out those orders and get on the road. Wait, they would deliver beer too? Yeah. Wow. One of the first, this is like so pre-postmates. This is like the early 2000s. Right. 2001, 2002.
Starting point is 00:09:37 One of those back ones called Cosmo. Yeah. Like they barely, they had online orders that came in, but you could call them up and be like, hey, I want a burrito and I want a six pack of Bohemia.emia and you'd be like word we got you but don't talk about the six-pack like there was like it was like a like you're cool right it wasn't something more advertised but if you ordered from there you knew and then i would drop off and be like hey by the way did you know like we'll deliver six packs like right you know got you so i would come through that business is now out of business people i don't feel bad uh shout outs to botana in the year 2001 you know what i mean it was a great job i appreciate them i'm sure people in the bay will remember that one what is something
Starting point is 00:10:15 you think is overrated customizing your own drink at starbucks customization culture is just and here's the thing it's a double-edged sword like i get it i want everyone to have what they want i want everyone to be happy but let's draw the line somewhere if i order something basic i don't want you asking me unnecessary questions i should never be asked how many pumps i want in anything like that's not a question you ask a lady right you know what i mean like how many pumps do you want it i don't know that's your job how many pumps do i need yeah how many pumps do you usually put in right right you know what i mean like Like how many pumps do you want in? I don't know. That's your job. How many pumps do I need? How many pumps do you usually put in? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:47 Like why is that my job to know how many pumps of vanilla make it sweet? That's your job. I say, you know, if I want something complicated, then you know, that's questions. But otherwise, they have a very vast and wide menu. I don't understand people taking a minute after minute after minute being like, I need it to be tall in a large cup. But then I also want a shot and a half and I want coconut milk and I want six pumps of this and then three and then a sprinkle of matcha. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:11 You know, and then can you smile at me and shake it violently when you hand it to me? Like I just, I don't, I don't know. Yeah. I don't like it. I get anxiety.
Starting point is 00:11:20 That was my exact order and you were just making fun of me. I mean, I didn't, it's all written on your Starbucks. I knew I was going to be here. So I was like, I didn't want to have a confrontation, but I also wanted to make a point.
Starting point is 00:11:30 So, cause you got litigation in the building. She got time today. What were you going to say? Oh, I was going to say, I get fucking, I remember,
Starting point is 00:11:38 you know, just being like a PA and shit, eating shit. Oh yeah. And you have to go do coffee orders. And you're like, are you fucking with me with all this shit? You're me they are yeah in a way and i and again i get especially like if you have some kind of lactose intolerance something like that of course yo you
Starting point is 00:11:53 gotta do you of course but when you're being like i remember somebody was like there's um there's actually too much cocoa powder on this and i was like fam like i don't know what you want me to do you gave me the list I went and got it and they put it on I'm sorry I'm sorry am I supposed to open up this cup
Starting point is 00:12:09 and stick my pinky nail into it and be like I'm sorry it's too much cocoa powder and also like if there are too many I remember like people would ask me
Starting point is 00:12:17 they're like oh well when I got to a point where I could give my coffee order to someone like oh do you want that a certain way and I'm like
Starting point is 00:12:23 just coffee black let's get out of here dog I was like just it's, do you want that a certain way? And I'm like, just coffee. Black. Right. No, I was like, just it's real simple. I want that shaken passion tea lemonade. Yeah. Straight to the point. Straight up. Now tell me, do you have a problem with that? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I used to work at a coffee shop as a teenager. I was one of my first baby teen jobs. But there was a woman who used to come in and she worked at the Bloomingdale's counter because it was a mall kiosk. You know what I mean? And she used to come in and she would just be like power bitch walking up. And at the time I was like 15, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:49 She was probably like 21 on a good day and too much makeup. But I just still thought she was fancy as shit. But she would just be like, I need a steamed Olay 160 degrees. Oh my. No. And I was like, do you bitch,
Starting point is 00:13:02 do you know how hot that is? You're going to burn off the entirety of your mouth. And she'd be like, but is it 160? And I was like, do you bitch, do you know how hot that is? You are going to burn off the entirety of your mouth. And she'd be like, but is it 160? And I was like, do you have a thermometer in your pocket? Are you in the health department? Like,
Starting point is 00:13:10 is there a stake at the bottom? Like, why are we doing this? So I think part of my hate for that comes from just those years of talking to a very bossy lady who, now with hindsight, I should have talked so much shit too. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I hadn't formed into like the mega confident me yet. You weren't litigation then? No, not at all. Yeah, I was absolutely Lydia. I was probably- Speaking of litigation, 160 would fucking injure the shit out of somebody if they spilled it on themselves. That is literally, you crazy person.
Starting point is 00:13:39 But 200, wait, boiling is 212, right? Yeah. We're not talking Celsius, right? 160 degrees Celsius. No, Fahrenheit. Right, so boiling is 212, so just 60 degrees below that? I mean, that's- I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Maybe it's not that bad. That's pretty hot. Well, because I think the McDonald's woman, hers came out like at two something, I feel like. Oh, did it? Yeah. Oh, okay. Coffee burn lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Look, Miles, I'm not a math major. See, this is where 165 sounds high to me. Yeah, it's a little high. Me too. I'm just thinking, I'm like, let me just figure it out. Her excuse was that Bloomingdale's was on the other side of the mall, and she still wanted it hot by the time she got to the makeup counter or wherever bullshit counter she worked on.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Right. It's like, what are you, the boss of fucking Bloomingdale's? No, you're not. Oh, yeah. So at the time, the McDonald's coffee was kept between $180 and $190. Yeah. So that was the one that got the McDonald's lawsuit, so she was just coming in just
Starting point is 00:14:31 under that $180 and $190. But imagine the hottest beverage you ever got and how disturbing it is to your whole thing to be like, ah! Your fucking teeth hurt. You know? You're like, oh great, I will now just be shedding skin. Right. You're like're like hold on let me just shed my mouth and you already stop being able to taste it by the time it gets on your tongue because it's
Starting point is 00:14:53 just burnt to shit the steam burnt your mouth for you you're like oh i know this is burnt really bad but i can't feel it so that's good uh what rate it what is something you think is underrated sandwiches okay you think they're underrated? I do. Okay. At least in Los Angeles. And maybe I don't know the right people. But like, and when I say sandwich, I mean like just like a good old fashioned deli sandwich.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Like a hoagie some might call it. A grinder some may refer to it as. Right. Not a panini. A hero. Yeah. You know what I mean? Not a pressed sandwich.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Like Los Angeles has a lot of two things. A lot of pastrami, roast beef, corned beef, these mega sandwiches that come hot or cold that are piled high and slopped onto breads. Right. Or you have cranberry, raspberry, aioli with buffalo chicken slice with cheese with God in the middle. You know what I mean? I just want a turkey provolone, some shredded lettuce. You've been to GML's? No, I have not.
Starting point is 00:15:50 That's a good one. I'm going to write these down. You've been to Mario's in Glendale? I have not. The Italian deli there? See, and again, I'm not going to drive to fucking Glendale for a sandwich. Where do you live? I live in Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:15:58 That's what I'm talking about. There should be a sandwich in arm's reach. Yeah. I shouldn't have to make a day of it to go get a damn sandwich. Have you been to Subway? You can fuck off with Subway. We're going to talk about that a little bit later.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Subway's garbage, but I love it. Wait, Gia Mellis. Gia Mellis. Also, there's one in Northridge. Again, I like Italian delis that aren't like Bay Cities. Everyone loves Bay Cities. But Mario's Italian Deli and Glendale's good.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And also All Italia Bakery in Northridge. I don't even know where Northridge is. I'm not going to write that down. Oh, and My Hero. My Hero by the CSUN campus is one of those. It's a college sandwich shop that I think is kind of what you're talking about. There's no bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I just want a basic, a very basic sandwich. They feed the college people. They're like, yo, we keep it simple. We keep the prices low. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Welcome to my hero. Yeah. All I know is I had to, I PostMade a sandwich for my house the other day, and it was like
Starting point is 00:16:51 $19 after PostMade. Right, right. You know what I mean? And I was just like, I can't believe I just did this. Right. This is a $5 sandwich. Yeah. I mean, I could have gotten my car and drove and got it, but I was in the middle of six
Starting point is 00:17:01 things. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? But still. I mean, I got sandwich money. Don't get me wrong. I got sandwich money. I got that PostMade sandwich money. But I what I mean? But still. I mean, I got sandwich money. Don't get me wrong. I got sandwich money. I got that Postmates sandwich money.
Starting point is 00:17:07 But I just, you know, I want to spend it on wheat. What are those priorities? Well, I'm going to try one of these sandwiches. Check them out. They sound very good and totally underrated. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? You need to drink water.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I'm just kidding. Just dry the fuck up. I was trying. I was thinking about that. I actually had a conversation with somebody the other day that didn't realize that you have to, that babies don't drink water when they're first born. I know. And it blew her mind.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Wait, what? Oh, yeah. That makes sense. She was like, baby, have a drink. Stay hydrated. Right. But like, you don't, just like, and I was like, do you think that breast milks like turn on and off and turn into water?
Starting point is 00:17:46 What did you think? Right. It's like the Gatorade thing at the fountain where you're like, next to it is water. No, I don't want Gatorade. Let me hit the water switch. And now water comes out. Yeah. And she's like, oh, maybe that's why I don't like water.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Because I didn't have it when I was a baby. And I was like, oh, my God. I got to turn this all the way back. No, you had water at like a certain point after breast. And I was just like, I can't even. And it just got me thinking about how like, what if water was a myth? Yeah. What if?
Starting point is 00:18:14 And then there are certain factions, I think, of this country where people really do think it is a myth that they're like, I drink soda. I drink water with like any of those squeezy. Oh, like flavor of things. Yeah. Like Mio. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to remember what it was called. I was like, it's the little thing. But they think you don't need water. You can get your water from fruit. Just free water. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Lil Yachty, the rapper, actually said that in an interview when he first came out. He's never had water. He didn't drink water. He was just like, I drink soda. Didn't 21 Savage say that he- Amber Rose got him drinking water. Amber Rose got him drinking water. He was like, man, it's turned my life around.
Starting point is 00:18:43 I'm drinking water now. Oh, shit. Well, you know what? That's turned my life around. I'm drinking water now. And you're like, oh, shit. Well, you know what? That's actually a myth. Let's talk about that. I mean, this is a myth that I'm going with. I don't know if it's a myth or, you know, it's a theory. I guess I don't understand what myth means.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Yeah, don't worry. No one does. Amber Rose is the new Erykah Badu. Wow. That's a myth. Okay, go on. Let's think about it. This is my theory, right?
Starting point is 00:19:03 Okay. Go with me. And I know there's people fucking falling out of their chairs right now. Anyone born after a certain year is going to be like, what? Who's Erica? Who's Erica? Who? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Erica Badu basically went through the 2000s and curated the baddest dudes and then got their babies and then changed their lives. Andre 3000. Right. Right. Still, baddest dude on the planet. Ask nine out of 10 girls and they absolutely want that dick.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Okay. Like he is amazing rapper. Nine out of 10 dudes are like, I will take that dick from 3000. Three stacks is amazing. We're good. Right. She took three stacks

She brings Puma into the world, right? Take another bad one, taking him down again. You know what I mean? Just out there mesmerizing him.

Like I didn't buy it until I like was at a party with her and I just walked by her and I was like, oh my God. Okay, I get it.
Starting point is 00:22:00 It is not a myth. That ass is real. Like she's like, I'm a very heterosexual person, but I was like, oh no, she can get it. Like 100% she can get it. It is not a myth. That ass is real. Like she's like, I'm a very heterosexual person, but I was like, Oh no, she can get it. Like 100% she can get it. I understand it.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And I talked to her and she was super fucking nice and very like sweet and bubbly. And she had this like vibrant energy. And I was like, Oh, okay. Now I understand you. And then she's like,
Starting point is 00:22:18 have you had water? Right? Yeah. It's a myth. I don't, you don't need it. You don't need it. So if I'm following correctly, uh, the myth is Amber Rose. That ass is real. Yes. That's the myth. I don't know. You don't need it. You don't need it. So if I'm following correctly, the myth is Amber Rose, that ass is real.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Yes, that's the myth. There it is. We got there. Boom and boom. Thanks, Jack. That was a long journey with me sometimes. It's always an eventful journey. You're like, what the fuck are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:22:38 But we'll get there. We saw the whole world. That was fascinating. All right. The first thing I thought when I heard about trampoline parks is, well, that can't possibly be what I think it is. And then I found out that it is. It's just a big old park with nothing but trampolines.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Just a big warehouse with nothing but trampolines. Trampolines on the walls, trampolines on the floor, foam pits. I was like, they must have figured something out. They must have some netting somewhere that other regular trampolines don't have. And it turns out, no, no, they just have really good like waivers that they make people sign because they have been just maiming people for days and days. Well, there's a whole report, right? So Richard Blumenthal, the senator, has been like pushing this thing called the Fair Act where he's trying to get rid of forced arbitration for consumer cases. So in these trampoline death traps you go to,
Starting point is 00:23:30 they make you sign the waiver to be like, look, if you fuck yourself up on these trampolines trying to do backflips that you know you shouldn't be doing, you can't sue us. And if it does, it'll go into an arbitration, and you have no other recourse legally. And so this came up in this context because he noticed that not only has like we went from i think 40 parks trampoline parks in 2011 to over 800 now in this year and none of them are being regulated there's no oversight and they're getting away with people just signing this shit
Starting point is 00:23:56 and it's obscuring things like there have been six deaths since 2012 there have been a number of severe injuries like including broken necks, broken ankles. The common things are like open. I like how I was, uh, unbroken ankle. Open fractured elbows, open tib and fib fractures. So when we say open, are they talking about bust through the skin? A bust through. Yeah, yeah, compound.
Starting point is 00:24:20 I would say compound. There's like a real word for that. Yeah, it's the nast shit. ASAP nast. So this is, you know. There's like a real word for that. It's the NAST shit, ASAP NAST. So this is, you know, it's becoming a thing. And so he was just sort of saying, I think we need to actually begin to turn our focus to this because there are people getting hurt. They have no, they can't have their day in court. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:36 All because we've found, you know, we've created a system where people would be like, oh, you signed the waiver. Sorry. Like, I know we created an environment for you to possibly kill yourself in, but that was on you. Yo. I mean, also though, and I've certainly done it myself, right? Like, you need to read what you're signing. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:55 And I never do. I usually do. Like, I'm the annoying person. I'm like, can I have a minute? And I will read through and I'll scan through for stuff. And like, I absolutely like pushed things back and been like, I'm not going to sign that. Right. You're like redlining it.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Yeah. I've done that before, too. And then people are like, I'm like, no. And they're like, well, do you still want to participate? And I'm like, well, I'm not going to sign that. Do you still want to take this gondola ride? And I've had people let me do it and I've not signed it. Really?
Starting point is 00:25:17 Because they want my money. Right. So challenge them. Yeah. That'd be fun. Wow. I've definitely done it. Cross things out, initial next to it, then sign. Yeah. That'd be fun. Wow. I've definitely done it. Cross things out, initial next to it, then sign.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Yeah. I mean, I was in Cabo and I went parasailing and it was all this gnarly stuff that's basically like if you drop into the ocean, we don't care. And I was like, bro, you don't even have an office. This is a tent and a table on a beach. Right. You're like using a rubbing pencil to take my credit card number right now. I'm absolutely not signing that waiver. Right, right. And he was like, okay, no problem. I was like using a rubbing pencil to take my credit card number right now. I'm absolutely not signing that waiver.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Right, right. And he was like, okay, no problem. I was like, yeah. As I thought, I'm like, I'm going to sue the shit out of you if you drop me in the ocean. I'm reading this. It says in the event of serious injury or death, dot, dot, dot, shrug. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:26:00 There's just a stage direction there. Yeah, man. You put the laughing emoji with the tears. Oh, God. But that is wild that it comes institutionalized, right? Yeah. Where you've waived away your rights to be compensated for injury that is not your fault. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Faulty equipment. Exactly, yeah. Somebody has jumped 9,000 times in that one corner, and you happen to be the 9,001 time that broke it. The stories of one... So CBS,001 time that broke it the stories of one like so cbs when they first heard about they sent an investigator like a reporter to just kind of look into what the hell was going on and they said that uh like literally like an hour before this journalist got there someone had just completely like like busted their knees or
Starting point is 00:26:41 something an hour before she got there this they said, Jason Freewalt, a healthy young dad and former college football player, he said he could finally find the words to explain the pain of jumping into a foam pit. I can't describe it. I blew my knees out. Jesus. Also, you a grown-ass man. Why the hell are you jumping into a foam pit? I mean, that's the other half of it.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Like, read what you're signing, but also, you're not built like that anymore. Yeah. Be real. Because, like, that foam pit's probably not it. Like, read what you're signing, but also... You're not built like that anymore. Yeah. Be real. Because, like, that phone pit's probably not built for a body weighing however many pounds, like, with the downward force coming through. But anyway, but that's the problem. If I see that, my child mind activates, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I can wild the fuck out in here, because it's soft everywhere.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Right. And then cut to me in the chair being like... And how dumb would you feel if you blew your knees both of them out yeah you would have to come up with a new story right anybody who tells you a badass story about why their own crutches the truth is they fuck themselves up at trampoline park i'm also very very clumsy like i literally i have broken bones just standing like where things have happened to me. Like broke my finger walking from my living room to the kitchen holding a plate.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Somehow managed to throw the plate up. It went to catch it. It landed on my finger. I fell and it broke my finger. Right. Yeah. I've never. If it's to be broken, I will break it. So we'll keep you away from the trampoline.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah, yeah. No, I will never do that. No, no, no. And we won't do the knife juggling section. Parasailing alone is like the biggest risk I've ever taken. Also, Zeitgang, tell me if you work at a place where you force people to, not force, but you have customers sign a waiver before. And tell me if you work in a death pit or a death trap. Because I feel like we were talking, where else could this happen?
Starting point is 00:28:15 Like a go-kart track? Yeah, there's a lot of, like go-kart, yeah. Mini golf. Oh yeah, don't you sign a waiver at mini golf? I don't know how you mini golf, but damn. At mini golf and at driving ranges. Yeah, because motherfuckers can ranges for sure right there's a lot of shit that like little kids do like their gyms like that are like gymnastics gyms right yeah water slides for sure and i just
Starting point is 00:28:33 think i always assumed things when you just use your credit card too even though if you're not like signing it'll be like check this box to agree i think i've just always assumed that oh they have it figured out right somehow trustinging. All they've done is like, well, if they sign the paper, we're good. Welcome to Knife Island. And who's handing you that paper? It's like a pimply-faced teen that's like, will you sign this, please? Oh, man. I am so...
Starting point is 00:28:58 I spent a lot of time on a trampoline as a kid. I never once did a flip. He's white. Of course he did. Never did a flip. I've never dove into a pool. You've never dove into a pool in your life? I won't go upside down. Oh my god, I love this!
Starting point is 00:29:14 I'm so careful, man. We gotta do a documentary of you trying to learn how to dive into a pool. Cautious Jack. The bubble boy. Yeah, and I've noticed my oldest kid is very careful. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah, when he's walking down the steps, he'll take three tests to go down. And he just sobs and fives at them. That's adorable. Don't hurt yourself, boy. Don't hurt yourself. We're cowards. That's how we got this far.
Starting point is 00:29:41 The O'Brien men are cowards. There's a war on. We will run the other direction. Wait for the brave to kill each other and reap. Just sweep it up right after. Just play dead. Son, I need you to sit still and do not participate. Am I supposed to tell you how to go full fetal in a fist fight?
Starting point is 00:29:58 Pull somebody else's body on top of yours. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. on top of yours. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
Starting point is 00:33:27 She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network,
Starting point is 00:33:48 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And I wanted to talk real quick, Miles, about this article that you brought to my attention. Everyone's attention. Yeah, a lot of people were talking about this a few days back. The quote is, or I think maybe the title of the thing is,
Starting point is 00:34:16 I've been hiring people for 10 years and I still swear by a simple rule. If someone doesn't send a thank you email, don't hire them. Hmm. Okay. Hmm. Okay. Interesting. So the responses to this were varied, but all pretty much like, what the fuck are you talking about? Do we Google this person?
Starting point is 00:34:37 Do we know what they look like? Jessica Liebman. This is what she looks like. That's her quote. That's her quote. So she does the hiring like she does like the hiring at insider inc so business insider and all their other like brands so she's the person she's the gatekeeper for this company and her litmus test is did you thank me is she from the south i don't
Starting point is 00:34:58 know is she canadian right i know you're trying to find a reason here. Yeah, I don't know. It's very, I have never, ever considered that. It has nothing to do with like how talented or good somebody is going to be at the job. So the thing she says is it only has to do with how eager they are to get the job. But is that the best quality? Because to me, if you're too thirsty, it's like dating, right? Right. Like just because the dude or the lady that you're dating is like oh since that that follow-up text and then it's like how it's it can be like too much but it's like well okay you could also send 19 thank
Starting point is 00:35:35 you letters in a week right that means the only thing you're good at is snowing you know what i mean and sending letters and i'm not to undermine the gesture of a thank you note. Right. I think it's really great. But I, listen, like I've worked for a long time and I've been in situations where I am absolutely a manager and I'm in a hiring position. I've hired several people in my life. Right. And I've gotten thank you notes and I've not gotten thank you notes.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Yeah. And in my personal experience, the people who are writing thank you notes are the most desperate people and people who have done poorly in the interview right and they're using this as an opportunity to reiterate where they felt like they have gone wrong right just be like if i could actually do this written yeah yeah like i just want to be my answer time or they're just such there's also a level of almost they're assuming they're going to get a job right like where they're like oh i can't wait to work forward with you. I look forward to working with you every single day.
Starting point is 00:36:27 And like, here's a note where I'm just like, hey, bitch. Right. I haven't even decided if I like you yet. Like, thank you, but let's just keep it easy. Well, a lot of the people in the responses were like, oh, so do you actually thank every person who's applied for your job too? Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Like, do you do that? Yeah. Absolutely. Like, what's good? Do you think like other people like, why would you treat these people like children? Or it's just like, there are way too many things involved. You know, her reasoning is that like,
Starting point is 00:36:50 well, it just helps put somebody in the good apple pile, right? He's like, if anything, they might test you out. She likes to have her ass kissed. Yeah, of course. That's a very self-serving boss. That's somebody I don't want to work for.
Starting point is 00:37:00 She specifically says, at Insider Inc, we look to hire good eggs good eggs that's what it what does that mean it's like coded language yeah that line like gave me goosebumps because it's like it's like that weird bullshitty hr lingo where they're like just basically trying to find a way around you know saying that it's completely subjective and it's whoever i seem to like so they're like uh so we group people into good eggs and bad eggs. Good eggs and brown people.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, I don't know. Brown eggs, whatever it is. I don't mean to cast aspersions of whatever the fuck their hiring practices are. I do. I'm just kidding. We don't know. I don't care. They ain't going to hire me.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I'm saying. I don't need a job. I'll pull up. Okay, Ms. Leibman. Listen, not everybody has stationary bitch just hanging around waiting to put stamps on it. Like some of us are out here interviewing and going to the job we already have. You don't have time to send you a thank you letter. I think to me, like, you know, there have been other people.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I remember in the Harvard Business Review, someone wrote like they don't hire people if their grammar is bad because that's more of an indicator to them of some. Like if it's the if the job is having to do with writing, they're like, if you don't know two and two, right. I'm sorry. That's bad egg. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Yeah. And they're like, and I get like, if there was something more specific, but if it's just something as general as like, um, you didn't massage my ego. That's right.
Starting point is 00:38:18 That's my problem. Exactly. And I'm not sure what objectively it like, okay, great. That person is polite. Right. But that's not always the thing you're looking for. And you don't, again, you don't know what the, you don't know what the other person is polite right but that's not always the thing
Starting point is 00:38:25 you're looking for and you don't again you don't know what you don't know what the other person is going through to assume that just because they didn't thank you means like oh they're gonna be fucked up yeah they're not gonna know how to say thank you ever they didn't even thank me for this interview right and her reasoning is sort of like you know i've noticed the people who like don't say thank you they'll maybe accept the offer but then pull out and then leave us in the lurch and just sort of like i feel like she's had some very specific things happen to her that she has like put into these buckets and been like these are my new rules right and who knows how much her interaction with people after they don't send a thank you note is coloring how much like whether
Starting point is 00:38:59 they end up taking the job like she's like. Well, honestly, she's prejudiced. Like, she's absolutely putting, which is kind of like against all HR rules for hiring. Exactly. You're supposed to consider each candidate on the merit of their skills and juxtapose that against the job description that you have posted and pick the right person. So someone from Business Insider was asked actually specifically about the ethnicity or the breakdown of their newsroom. And it says, thank you for the question. With respect to race and ethnicity,
Starting point is 00:39:28 28% of our teammates identify themselves as people of color. Three years ago, this percentage was 20%. Within our newsrooms, 30% of staff identify as people of color, up from 25% three years ago. Getting there. I mean, I've worked in places where I was like, it me!
Starting point is 00:39:45 And they're like, he, the job is done. He counts as two. That's good. He can tick the black box, count him as an Asian and a black person. He's rare. He's like a Benetton ad. All right, let's talk about Candace Owens, guys.
Starting point is 00:39:58 She fucking sucks. What? Candace? I mean, okay. My Candace? Right. Let's just get through this quickly. Yeah. The House Judiciary Committee is having hearings on white okay. My Candace? Right. Let's just get through this quickly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:05 The House Judiciary Committee is having hearings on white nationalism. What's that? The thing that, Jack, what's white nationalism? Yeah, never heard of it. The thing that's, you know, we don't have to treat seriously because Obama is proof that racism is died. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah, it's gone now. It's done.
Starting point is 00:40:19 It's over. So is this like a historical thing? They're looking at like where it went? You know, they're looking at things around the world and see that especially in this country, white nationalists have pretty, their rhetoric, these are pretty violent and they act out their intentions in person, in physical space. Right. So they're saying we need to talk about this. This is an issue facing the country. So, you know, like any whenever they have committee hearings like this, the majority party, which is the Democrats now, they have their people who testify.
Starting point is 00:40:45 And then the Republicans and the minority, they get to have someone come up too. The Democrats have like experts, right? Like sociologists, people who understand white nationalism and what systemic racism is. Right. And the GOP uses their time-honored tactic of going, have you met my black friend?
Starting point is 00:40:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they had Candace Owens go up there and just basically say some shit like, oh, you know, white nationalism doesn't exist. She fucking said that the Southern strategy is a myth. Yeah, I saw that too. It was just the biggest. It's just one of those things where you realize that conservatives don't actually realize how their logic and rhetoric plays out outside of their echo chamber.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Right. Where they're like on Fox, you put Candace Owen on, everyone's like, oh, yes, see? She gets it. She woke up. She one of the good ones. And that's what she even says. She's like, oh, I'm sorry, people don't like me
Starting point is 00:41:33 because I'm a black woman who sees the truth that Democrats actually hate black people. And then the white conservative's like, oh. Yes, there she is. She's got it. There's the token. And it was just so absurd. Ted Lieu, he used his time wisely he was just like uh let me just play this clip for you of you normalizing hitler
Starting point is 00:41:51 he's like i don't even have to describe you i'm just gonna play this clip she looked so upset and then was like oh you're lying you think black people they're just not intelligent that's why they don't support them and jerry nadler the head was just like okay uh we're not gonna do that okay and she looked fucking heated but you know it was just like, okay, we're not going to do that. Okay. And she looked fucking heated. But, you know, it's one of those things where we're seeing, it's just this, like, this denial of racism is so fucking dangerous. It is. And we need more white people to stand the fuck. It can't just be people of color or minorities out here saying, yo, this white nationalism is a fucking problem.
Starting point is 00:42:24 And, like, we're seeing it play out because what I see is white guilt playing out in a very different way, which is the guilt of understanding how racism is still very strong in this country and then using that energy just to feed the denial of it. Right. And I'd rather be like, I'd rather not cop to that because there are people like, look, there are plenty of people who are white and have come to grips with the fact that racism is still a huge issue, but there is a growing number of people and we know people who are very dismissive of racism and i think that attitude that shit that only feeds
Starting point is 00:42:53 this thing and only makes the problem worse well the other thing is we just need people the acknowledgement of systematic racism is really a huge problem too like that's and i don't it's not one more than the other but like the fact that the way that our country is set up and the services and the way that people are serviced as americans right is fundamentally and systematically racist and until we acknowledge that and we have white people acknowledge that and not just be like i feel like maybe it's hard right well why do you think it's hard? Right. Because it's not set up for a brown or anybody who's different than white to win.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Right. It's like, oh, you went to the bank and they gave you a $50,000 loan for your scrunchie business? Yeah. How'd that happen? You didn't have to show up with like every single bit of collateral and explanation of how you plan to choose the money and then like five generations of children that will promise to pay it back for you.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Yeah. And I think also too, when you look at even how like there is a poll, a Pew Research poll that came out where especially in a partisan way, when it comes to like looking at how racism has become more common since this administration, 64 percent of Democrats have said Trump has made it more acceptable. 84% of Democrats have said, yes, of course, racism is more common now. On the other side, 42% of Republicans says it has become more common and only 22% have said it was more acceptable. Now, at the same time,
Starting point is 00:44:16 when you look at also, this poll was also asking Black, Hispanic, and Asian people to what they felt about racism and racial equality. And I would say what? It says 78% of black respondents said the country has not made enough progress on equal rights for black and white Americans. Yeah. 50% said it is unlikely the nation will eventually achieve full racial equality at all.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Yeah. Like, so. How great does that feel? Yeah. Like, I mean, these are, and people want to spin this analysis of people of color looking at how the system is and being like, they just have to get over it. Right. It's like, no, we're playing a fixed game.
Starting point is 00:44:52 It's a rigged game. It's not only a rigged game, and it's a game that you can't avoid, that you literally have to play every single day from the moment that you open your mouth and open your front door and leave the house. Right. It's not like people of color can escape it right yeah like you can't escape it so i can't there's only so much smiling i can do it people to what i'm just at this point i'm not willing to do it anymore yeah i'm all about like no no there's race then let's embrace it i'm going to be a cranky brown bitch and you're going to take it right yeah or not and you're gonna call me a cranky brown bitch or something even worse
Starting point is 00:45:23 right you know what i mean and i don't want to like have violence, but I'm just I'm over trying to like accommodate. Right. For the uncomfort. I'm like, no, no, let's talk about it right this moment. Like I will call it out immediately. I feel like you're being unfair. I think you're treating that person unfair. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:38 But that's why I agree with you. I do think we need to have more positive allies of people that are out there doing it in the right way, but not in a way that's overstepping and becoming so like onerous about it. You know what I mean? Like you need to educate your children. You need to educate your family. You need to start at home. Like I don't want people caping for anybody.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Right. Exactly. Like there's a difference between being an ally and being fucking cape. Like I don't want that. I don't need you defending me, but I need you to call it out and call it out in your friends and conversations in white rooms with only white people when no one else can see you right you need to tell your white friend oh wait let me stop you and tell you why
Starting point is 00:46:10 that's wrong right do you realize what you're saying is actually very problematic and here is why yeah and that might be your family member that might be your doctor you know and if you feel like your doctor is that way and even if he's the best doctor then you need to not go see your doctor because he's a racist piece of shit yeah like make those until he starts seeing sacrifices right i'm sorry but i'm not gonna be
Starting point is 00:46:29 nice yeah well i think people just have to like you said do you have to it's it's the people in your immediate circle like you don't have to go on twitter and you start sj dubbing like that but you have to also like you say hold people accountable and that doesn't mean that this like i think a lot of people have this immediate response if they're called out for something like, well, I'm not racist. I don't hate. It's like, no, I'm not even trying to say that. What I'm saying is we have to actually fundamentally change the way we have discussions about race.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Yes. We have to use a new vocabulary. We can't approach it from these ways. I'm not accusing you of this, but you have to understand that we are trying to speak in a different way about these things. And it's going to start with the language at first. Maybe you fucking do have racist beliefs that you are going to let go of. But you have to at least understand we have to find a new way to speak about this without just fueling it even more.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Well, we also need to do it in communities of color, too. I mean, it even goes into communities of color when we start talking about you know colorism and who's more valid and who's unvalid so like i mean it's it's everywhere and i think we need to be just as honest in communities of color and how we treat each other with respect of regardless of the shade of of of brown or whatever that someone is because it's it ends up bleeding into these communities because it's like this learned thing and that's what happens in communities of color just get over it yeah they start basically projecting those same behaviors within their own community and it's like this learned thing and that's what happens in communities of color. Just get over it. Yeah. They start basically projecting those same behaviors within their own community and it's still that hate is still there.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah. It's terrible. So in the sort of right and the GOP's convoluted racism jujitsu, they are trying to say that Ilhan Omar is anti-Semitic for pointing out that Stephen Miller is a white supremacist. White nationalist, Jack. Oh, my bad. White nationalist. There's a difference, not. My bad, my bad.
Starting point is 00:48:14 He loves America. Yeah. They're just saying. And being white. Literally because he is Jewish, they're saying, but this is a quote from Lee Zeldin, who is a congressperson from New York. During my time in Congress
Starting point is 00:48:29 before Ilhan Omar got here, I didn't once witness another member target Jewish people like this with the name calling and other personal attacks. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Trump Jr. I see the head of the Farrakhan fan club, Ilhan Omar, took a short break from spewing her usual anti-Semitic bigotry today to accuse a Jewish man of being a, quote, white nationalist Right. What the fuck are y'all talking about?
Starting point is 00:48:55 Yeah. Just, this is a fact. I mean, none of his policies say anything except white nationalism. Yes! And his words are right there. Okay, I know he put on the black dude fake hairspray that one time, and maybe he tried to get some street cred like that. Not with me.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Everything I see is white. Even from when he was in Santa Monica High School, writing op-eds about like, I don't know why the janitors have to speak Spanish. At that age, he was on this shit. And again, please, for everyone who has to speak Spanish. Right. Yeah. At that age, he was on this shit. And again, please, for everyone who has to speak up
Starting point is 00:49:27 about trying to, you know, twist Ilhan Omar's just analysis or observation of Stephen Miller for what he is as anti-Semitic, can you,
Starting point is 00:49:34 why don't you reserve that outrage for your base? Right. And your supporters because I'm seeing a lot more of that shit on that side. Yeah. When you talk about,
Starting point is 00:49:41 even fucking Trump when he met with, like it was like the coalition of Jewish Republicans in Vegas, he referred to Netanyahu as your prime minister. Which is the most anti-Semitic, most clearly accusing people of having a double alliance, where you're not like, you don't care about America, you're actually Israeli, even though you are all American Jews. actually israeli even though you are all american jews yeah yeah uh but that didn't register a blip other than just people on the left kind of being like yeah what i mean i don't know we're only going to be for so long till the shit is too late that's my worry yeah because we're playing a game where one side is willing to break the law yeah and then democrats are scrambling to figure out like well how do we actually how do we brain this in when we don't even have the tools or
Starting point is 00:50:30 the the laws to do it yeah and because they're fucking around yeah as we record this the election for israeli prime minister is still sort of a back and forth affair the The last I heard was Netanyahu was pulling away, but then other people have it. It's still too close to call. So we'll see, I guess. Benny Yance and Netanyahu, like, hey, we won the election. Hey, everybody, you know, it's a historic night.
Starting point is 00:51:00 It's really good. I didn't know there was a good, a version of a good Netanyahu. Hey, man, when you're watching enough of these interviews, man. His voice is so fucking bassy. And Super Producer Nick Stumpf noticed that there's a small difference between Netanyahu and Sly Stallone. Yeah. I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Hey, don't I have rights here? It's Stallone. And then if it was, hey, don't I have rights here? So you have to go back. Just enunciate a little bit more. Yeah, yeah. This is from my new podcast called Useless Accents. You won't be able to use any of it for mine.
Starting point is 00:51:29 The voice work is stunning. Just stunning. And then briefly, William Barr has basically said, you're going to get the full Mueller report in the next week, except for all of the redactions that I'm going to put in there. And here are the four reasons I'm going to redact. First, if it's grand jury information, we knew about that. The second is information that the intelligence community believes would reveal intelligence sources.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Pretty straightforward. The third are information in the report that could interfere with ongoing prosecutions, which we know specifically the president is involved with from, or at least according to what Michael Cohen said. And finally, we intend to redact information. This is the fourth that implicated the privacy or reputational interest of peripheral players where there is a decision not to charge them. That is such a overly wordy way of saying we're not going to put the spicy shit about the president. Yeah, exactly. The fucking information implicated the privacy or reputational interest of peripheral players. Yo, peripheral players is my new streetwear brand. Yeah, I was going to say, that's ripe for that, for sure.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Peripheral players out here, for all my peripheral players out there. Yes. Unindicted co-conspirators. At the same time, it would be premature to speculate what's in this report because... We don't know thank you i mean we have a good idea though god damn it's funny like a lot of people are writing the evolution of trump from going like the muller the muller report oh so fucking good to fuck the muller report i mean what is it gonna fucking end they just want everything right right right so i think that's weird i wonder what's in there because before that was that was the fucking rosetta stone that was gonna right
Starting point is 00:53:09 unlock the the mystery of your innocence all right we're gonna take another quick break we'll be right back definitely caruana galizia was a maltaltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

I'm Carrie Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel
Starting point is 00:56:17 Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:57:02 The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And so is Lil Nas X. On the charts, baby. Number one. Got the old Daily Zeitgeist bump. And now is number one on Billboard's Hot 100. Just king making out here, you know?
Starting point is 00:57:24 Yeah, and that's all. Not even the remix. Just king making out here, you know? Yeah. And that's all. Yeah. Not even the remix. The one that got booted off the country charts. I know. Now it's the number one song. Overall.
Starting point is 00:57:31 On the Billboard Top 100. I do love how every 10 years we try this. What? The like, let's get a black guy on a country beat. Let's throw it out here. Like every 10 years, like a new one comes up. And this was like, not even like that. Like it wasn't like when you saw Hickcup come out right right like that's when i was like oh they're they're going for it whereas this one's sort of like a trap thing that like actually
Starting point is 00:57:54 could bang this country too right although uh you know shout out to everyone that was pointing out that it's a nine inch nail sample yeah it really is you it and I was like, why are you playing the back beat to Old Town Road? I would love a Trent Reznor remix of Old Town Road as a Nine Inch Nails song. It's like, I'm gonna take my horse to Old Town Road. I do love that it has like, it's funny because unless you've been to the South or spent time in the South, people don't understand how closely country and hip-hop audiences really do sit together right yeah and how like if you're raised in the south like there's like a certain amount of blues and country just is in your life that's just what it is and it's not unconscious so there's a lot of people that have this like
Starting point is 00:58:35 and a lot of people of color that have a pretty robust knowledge of country music people have no idea about right but i have enjoyed seeing like the twitter mentions of like combos that they want to see like you just mentioned when you saw like of course i'm a dolly parton stan so like i've been seeing a bunch of them of um i think her name is megan the stallion i had to like look look her up because i wasn't familiar with her but she's like on like the city girls vibe where she's just like hell yeah dirty trap like talking about my pussy like i got a big old ass and she's fine as hell like but i've been seeing a lot of those of like Dolly times Meg, the style,
Starting point is 00:59:06 like the stallion and extra in it. And I'm just like, I'm here for it. I am very much here for that. Dolly, please. I would love that. Like just,
Starting point is 00:59:13 I would love, I've been talking about it for a very long time, but I would love somebody to like chop and screw, trap out nine to five for the strip club. Oh shit. Like I want to go and see a fucking 9 to 5 dance off at Magic City. So bad. Something just like, oh, man.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Somebody just to take it, to sample it. They'd have to pay her a lot of money, but I think it would be great. Well, you know, that's how it starts, though. You do it illegal and it becomes so big. She's like, hey, I'm going to have to get my check now. Because I'm on that NASCAR. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Exactly. She likes money. Yeah. She just, you were talking about, she does have a NASCAR, a Dolly Parton. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. A white NASCAR. Let's do it. Exactly. She likes money. Yeah. You were talking about she does have a NASCAR. A Dolly Parton. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She is on Tyler Reddick's number two car. Damn. Used to be
Starting point is 00:59:53 I think Rusty Wallace used to rock the number two car in NASCAR. Anyway. That's my weird NASCAR note. Alright, let's talk about the rebirth of Subway. Yeah. Interesting. I mean, look, I like Subway. Okay. Very specifically.
Starting point is 01:00:08 That is your right. Very narrowly, okay? Actually, it ends up I like the most unhealthy shit there, which is the tuna sandwich. Yo, that's savagery. Yeah. I think eating tuna outside of the house or a respectable deli is you're just asking to get it.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Oh, yeah. You're asking for it. I'm asking to be thrown in a van and driven off to some black site. Yeah, you live wild. Oh, I walk on the motherfucking wild side. Also, I get this shit so much. I know they don't have it at airports. If you go to airport subway, they usually don't have tuna.
Starting point is 01:00:34 I'm just saying, tuna is not shelf stable. Like, I always think, like, that's when, like, you go to, like, a weird truck stop and they have, like, the can plus, like, the tuna packets. And I'm just like. Yeah, right, right, right. Oh, yeah, the like Star Kiss tuna cracker, tuna combo. You just eat those for lunch in junior high.
Starting point is 01:00:50 But canned tuna is not refrigerated, right? No. So it is shelf stable, isn't it? But like, I don't know, man. How long has it been? I don't know, man. Yeah. No, see, you don't fuck around.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I live on the fucking edge. But yeah, I mean, but after it's been taken out of the can and then mixed with a mayo of unknown source and stuck into another container. Mayo, also not refrigerated on the grocery store house. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Look.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Once you open it though, it's wild and free though. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, I digress. Miles, I do want to, and maybe some Subway employees, some, what are they called, fresh makers? No, that's my name. Sandwich artists? Sandwich artists. Maybe some sandwich artists, Zyte Gang, can let us know.
Starting point is 01:01:31 But I would suspect that the reason they don't sell tuna sandwiches at airports is because the airline industry was like, yo, you can- Yo, get that shit off. That shit would smell up the entire plane. But for sure, bring that Panda Express on the trip. That for sure is a chill smell.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Yeah. Or nothing's worse than someone who brings McDonald's on and you're hungry. Yeah. Because then I'm like, oh, I love that.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Smell those fucking fries and I'm chilling. I went on a red-eye to Boston and this savage brought on a full hot-ass pizza and I was like, you piece of shit.
Starting point is 01:02:02 I'm trying to go to sleep right now and you got a whole CPK pizza that you are just go to sleep right now and you got a whole CPK pizza that you are just champing on right now? Damn. That's my fifth meal. So last year,
Starting point is 01:02:12 Subway was in trouble with their franchisees. They're like, we're getting killed on the $5 footlong, man. Getting killed out here. Getting killed out here, man. We got to figure something out. We need more money. We need marketing stuff.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Anyway, I think they closed about 1,000 locations. So the $5 footlong was too good of a deal, basically. Too good of a deal. Losing money. Losing money, man. We can't do it like that. So they have teamed up with Tastemade, the website. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:02:33 That makes all those cookie videos. They make the videos, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They've teamed up with Tastemade to basically bring their menu to fucking life. And they're coming with some interesting shit. Okay, when you consider like what the competition is in the sandwich world. So the first one they're doing,
Starting point is 01:02:48 the Green Goddess Tuna Melt. Hmm. Damn. Does it have Green Goddess dressing on it? Yes. Are we sure? Yes, that's the whole point. A true Green Goddess dressing?
Starting point is 01:02:56 Okay, look, with like the anchovies and shit in it. Yeah, with like all the herbs and stuff. Yeah, yeah, I hope so. Okay. And so this is all everything with mozzarella toasted on nine-grain bread. Okay. I like that.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Because I feel like up until then, like, Chipotle was, like, the most out-of-left-field kind of flavor you could get at Subway. Now they're doing more. A BLT and E, okay? It's basically an egg salad sandwich, but they are doing, like, a deviled egg salad sandwich. Oh, my God. Do they want to just fart in a bag and sell it to people?
Starting point is 01:03:26 Why would you get that? That is not a winner. Okay. How about this? No, hold on now. Now the smell, I'm just imagining the smell of those eggs with the smell of the bread, which is like the ultimate and the last place you want to be when you're hungover. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Oh my God. You know what I realized? That's true. I am so into this. I would just be like. I'm just so into the stinkiest sandwiches. You are. I'm learning a lot about you. Do you like natto?
Starting point is 01:03:51 I love natto. Of course you do. Fermented soybeans that look like rat shit. They smell disgusting. They smell like shit. I also love takuang, which is another pickled root vegetable that smells like farts. This article makes it sound like they are crowdsourcing, data mining which is another pickled root vegetable that smells like farts. Also smells disgusting. But that I like. This article makes it sound like they are crowdsourcing,
Starting point is 01:04:08 data mining these sandwiches, because they said they noticed people were doing a lot of searches for deviled eggs recipes, deviled egg recipes. And I think that's the benefit of teaming up with Tastemade. Yeah, they got that algorithm. All they do is they know what the flavor profiles are cracking, so they can kind of quickly team up with Subway to be like, this is a thing that people are into.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Like we get it. People want a bacon on everything, but now people like other shit. What about a Southern French dip sandwich? Okay. We don't know. That's what they're trying to do. Anyway, all I'm saying is don't change the fucking cookie recipe because I love Subway cookies.
Starting point is 01:04:41 They should change that bread recipe though to make it smell less terrible. What they should do is bring back the U-Gouge. What is that? The U-Gouge. I don't know if you remember back in the day when the sandwich artiste would cut like a U-shaped thing off the top. Oh, right. And then fill the sandwich. Right now, they just cut it down the side and open it up.
Starting point is 01:04:57 You know what? I had the funniest experience with that that you just described. I was not familiar with. I don't understand the grab, so maybe you can explain it to me. I was not familiar with, I don't understand the grab, so maybe you can explain it to me. I was in, where were we? We were in Denver, I think, maybe? Marcella and I.
Starting point is 01:05:14 And we were grub-hubbing to the condo because that's what we do is we just grub-hub food. We don't leave the condo. We're like, you bring it to us. And we both love sandwiches, found sandwiches. And the sandwich showed up and we took it out of the paper
Starting point is 01:05:23 and then on top was this flat piece of white bread. And I was like, what is this? And then I realized it was that hunk that they took out. They just flattened and put it right on the top. Like I, like they didn't throw it. Like, like I wanted it. Are you, what is the proper protocol for that? That strip, that panty liner amount of bread that is removed.
Starting point is 01:05:43 They definitely aren't supposed to flatten it. They're supposed to just sit it down. If you look at it, okay, if this is the roll from one end, right? Yeah, yeah. You're supposed to cut this part out, like a U. So you actually get a good amount of this top. So there's more space for meat? Yeah, so they pull this top part out, and now you have this concave, you know, this void within the bread.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Which makes sense for something like a tuna, like an egg salad. Right. I get it. See, what it sounds like your person did is just took this sad ass part, like literally a little bit of a flap on top, which you're saying the panty liner type. Exactly. It was like the inside
Starting point is 01:06:15 and they had taken that out and normally if you had scooped it out, you would throw it somewhere, I would assume. This place pulled it out and then made my sandwich and was like, here, we'll just put this on top. You want this, right?
Starting point is 01:06:24 Oh, that sounds like a whole other thing. And I was like, this is a mistake? And then Marcella's had it too and then made my sandwich and was like, here, we'll just put this on top. You want this, right? Oh, that sounds like a whole other thing. And I was like, this is a mistake? And then Marcella's had it too? And then we were just like, I am so confused. And then she's a true savage, so she just took mine and hers and then rolled it up into one little mega ball and just took it to the face and I was like, whoa! A ball? Like the bread ball. She's like, I love bread.
Starting point is 01:06:40 This is delicious. I was like, I don't know. This is crazy. Working it like a snowball. So it didn't go to waste. And here, you gouged. They here you gouge they keep the top flat they're not giving it back right no no you guys they really back on top they put it back on oh so it stays like two pieces right yeah it just sounds like they didn't go deep enough on yours though yeah no no they went deep they just took it out they just took another what sounds i don't know it'd be like going i guess the equivalent this is a really gross analogy i can't believe i'm gonna say this uh it'd be like if you go to get liposuction and then they're like, all right, here you go.
Starting point is 01:07:08 And then they just give you all the shit that they sucked at, like in a little bag. And they're like, you want this to take home for later? You're like, no, I don't. I'm sorry. In this scenario, what am I doing later? I don't know. I don't know. That's why I said this is not really working out, but I'd already committed and there's
Starting point is 01:07:21 nothing else in my brain. I was continuing the bit where I was asking the question of this doctor who did that yeah yeah yeah exactly who knows I mean don't ask don't tell
Starting point is 01:07:28 yeah do whatever you want with that bag don't ask don't tell it's our motto for everything don't ask don't tell Aunt Becky guys
Starting point is 01:07:36 may be headed to prison Felicity Huffman is a snake Felicity Huffman took the plea deal she's a rat you know some people they're like low value humans take the deal man uh i mean so okay we always we always knew there was a difference in their crimes right uh felicity huffman only paid 15 000 to have her for her daughter just
Starting point is 01:08:00 yeah just her daughter's test score is altered. Which put her in the male fraud category. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Where Mossimo and Lori Loughlin, Aunt Becky, I still can't believe they're a couple, they paid at least a half million dollars to get their two daughters into USC. Because they were dumb as shit. Yeah. That puts them in the straight up money laundering category.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Yeah. So their offense is different. So the rumors are, according to TMZ's legal sources and some people in CBS News. Solid. Solid. I mean, look. 100. Give us the T.
Starting point is 01:08:30 T in TMZ. They're saying that Felicity Huffman is looking, if her plea deal might include around four months of prison time for mail fraud. Lori Loughlin and Mossimo, they're looking at two years with a plea. That his and hers will serve. And they're like shook daddy because they don plea. That his and hers. What's up? And they're like, shook daddy. Because they don't know. They should be.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Yeah. Again, this is where it's getting real. And they don't know if they should, A, take the fucking plea and, you know, do your fucking, you know, do your two-year stretch. Take it on the chin. Or do they fight the fucking case, which if they fought the case, it would turn into like a grand jury trial. And that would be, like, there would be,, it would turn like a grand jury trial. And that would be like they would there would be like sort of modifiers to their sentence. So they could be looking at a lot longer. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Yeah. If they try and fight the case. So they're kind of in a weird spot right now. Wait. So if they plea out, they still might get two years. Well, let's let's talk about this two years, though, because does the judge have any influence over how the two years is spent? Because we know that there can be a lot of creative interpretation of jail time, right?
Starting point is 01:09:25 Sure. Two years can be interpreted to like, you know, three months, 90 days, and then a year and a half of house arrest. Right, right, right. Yeah. Right? Who knows? I mean, have you seen their house?
Starting point is 01:09:36 It's a shithole. I mean, it is trash. So could you imagine having to stay there? It looks like a Tuscan nightmare. I mean, I'm all for them all going to jail. Right. I mean, I'll be very honest. Well, this is the thing.
Starting point is 01:09:45 And last week I was bringing up the thing where- I feel not bad for them. At all. A lot of prison reform advocates are saying, because of our fucked up system, when we see shit like this, we're like, yeah, put these motherfuckers in jail because we know so many people who are locked up over nothing. Exactly. And a lot of prison reform advocates are sort of right or like do we actually look at this differently and try and figure out a way
Starting point is 01:10:10 because we spoke about a woman who was in connecticut who lied about where she lived just to get her son into a different public school exactly she's doing 12 years that's what i'm saying and that's why i was like can we find a way where we that woman doesn't have to be in jail just so we don't have to fuel our thirst for these people to be in jail, too. And that's where it gets fucked up. Because when you see examples like this of people of privilege abusing that ability or their means to do shit like this, people get so fucking like, put them under the fucking jail. Yeah. But then at the same time, I'm like, yeah, is there a way we can find laws that aren't punishing people like this woman in Connecticut for her shit? Like, is there a way that doesn't involve incarceration where she can get drug treatment or whatever
Starting point is 01:10:47 to figure out like straighten her life out? And do we have these people like meet actually disenfranchised people? Yeah. Like this is what's really hard. Yeah. Well, I just, I mean, I mean, I think about the kids are involved here, right? Like that's what it comes down to is like, I know so many smart, talented kids that cannot go to college
Starting point is 01:11:07 right don't have the means to go to college and did the best they could with the amount of money that their parents had their parents didn't have money for like music lessons and all this stuff so like they've tried to get as many of these extracurriculars to make themselves look as most you know sexy as possible to these colleges but they're not getting in because they don't have the money like it literally costs money to raise a child to make them juicy enough to go to a college like that's terrible right like i would rather see like yes i want them jailed but i would also love them to see them be like oh and now you have to spend an equal amount of money in a school district on programs that provide opportunities for disenfranchised kids to like
Starting point is 01:11:44 learn french german spanish blah blah to go to an art appreciation to go study abroad to school district on programs that provide opportunities for disenfranchised kids to like learn French, German, Spanish, blah, blah, blah, to go to an art appreciation, to go study abroad, to do this, to do this, to go volunteer. There's kids that can't volunteer because they have to go to a job to get paid money to help pay the rent with their parents. Like that's the shit that makes me feel really, really sad. Yeah, exactly. Is it like, oh, and they're doing it at some shitty school that doesn't have anything.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Right. I went to like a recital for my goddaughter and it's like this big, it was in Santa Monica, you know, fairly well offish. You know what I mean? Yeah. But it's still a public school and they still have tons of things that they
Starting point is 01:12:13 need. Like they had these kids doing this like marching band thing and they had sheet music taped to the kids backs. So the kids came into the auditorium with sheet music taped on their back playing the thing and i'm like they have things for that like they have the neck things for marching band and i was like i couldn't stop laughing because i was like there is sheet music taped to these children's backs right but that's what they had yeah it worked it was adorable yeah i heard that's what turned stephen miller bad is he bad is his Santa Monica high school.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Right? Yeah. Because they didn't have enough marching liars. Is that what they're called? I used to be in the marching band. I knew there was a thing. Because the paper lies on top of it. I don't know. It's spelled L-Y-E-R. L-Y-R-E. I was going to say try harder. The little things you can just, you know. It could be Lear. I don't know. That's just what my weird
Starting point is 01:13:01 band teacher. Shout out to Mr. Combs. When I say put him in jail. Yeah teacher shout out to Mr. Combs when I say put him in jail yeah but I mean honestly Mr. Combs? everybody damn even Tito yeah I think you know it's just one of those things too like I think
Starting point is 01:13:17 they need to figure out how to properly punish these people whatever the fuck comes down it comes down I just don't I also just wish we lived in a world where people who are disadvantaged and are having to try and work the system just to get an equal shot aren't punished so disproportionately. So, you know, maybe Eric Swalwell will solve all this. Yeah. He's putting his hat in the race.
