Mr. John
Gabrus!
Every night I ask the stars
up above, why
must I be a quarantine
ager in love
I wanted to sing a theme song
as well shout
out to mom hound who wrote
that one wow
power couple
I thought they were brother sister
that makes so much more sense
she took his name
dr hound if you will uh john how is the quarantine treating you um i am the main negative emotion i
feel is guilt for how easy it is for me i feel terrible i have such a champagne problem my main
concern is the lack of restaurants i'm eating
at so like my brother's a nurse and he's like so i'm not even like i can't even think about anything
to complain about right he's like it's weird to see people bitching about staying home and i was
like oh yeah i guess if you're doing 48 hours in the fucking covid ward it's a different story
yeah it's funny to
talk to like my buddies who are like firefighters or nurses whatever and everyone's just sort of
like yeah i don't know what's different right now for anyone it's just my job's worse now
huh and as i like complain on a zoom call about how the dispensary won't tell me which brands
are doing a 420 deal today and And I'm like, what do you
mean he can't say over the phone?
I don't want to drive in and then be disappointed.
And I'm like, I'm sorry, what were you saying about the lack of
PPE?
What do you mean Postmates doesn't
have their full menu? What?
They don't have all of the sandwiches?
Oh, well, fuck. I hate this quarantine.
As my brother intubates a co-worker.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Oh, man.
All right.
Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
We're going to run through a couple of stray thoughts on episodes one and two of The Last Dance,
the Michael Jordan dou-series
that I've been looking
forward to. It seems like a few other people
who miss basketball have been looking
forward to it. Real excited.
Jamie, our basketball correspondent,
also watched it.
So she'll be talking about that.
Ball is life. Hot takes from the
garden.
There was multiple times where i
looked over at my boyfriend and dead serious was like it ball really is life to him
it's not a game so true so true there's a new york times article on what the next two years
uh might look like just various scenarios and a bunch of them read like sci-fi.
And I still think some of them, most of them are too optimistic.
But we're going to talk about those. We're going to talk about the coronavirus commercial, the new brand of commercial that we now have.
on TV, there is an identical ad that you will see mostly constructed of stock footage that used to only exist for the purposes of cut rate coffee commercials, but now is everything,
is the entire aesthetic of American commercials.
Just follow the nine COVID commercial commandments and you will have exactly just follow
this guide map and you will have the content you desire uh we're going to talk about demolition man
some people are saying it predicted this version of the future and i just want to get john your uh
thoughts on just action movies in general any action movies you've seen since the
since the quar uh we're going to talk
about Shake Shack, uh, returning $10 million and just how much we miss it. And we're going to talk
about quarantine activities, all of that, plenty more. But first, John, what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are or who we are, where we are. I can tell you what my last two major searches were
that kind of defined my personality in quarantine.
Volcano tips and tricks.
I was learning.
I just purchased a huge $700.
Yep.
You can maybe see it there, Miles.
Wait.
There you go.
I can't do the perspective thing. uh so i bought a 700 vaporizer um and also
my other search term is filipino stick fighting introduction oh wow get into collie yeah i'm
getting into a a screma or uh or a screamer yeah yeah yeah because i think collie is the knife and
a scrim like i think yeah yeah yeah so you want to be in a screamer door yeah yeah i think khali is the knife and a scrim like i think yeah yeah yeah so you want to
be in a screamer door yeah yeah i'm getting really into yeah i'm getting into weapon door i uh i was
taking martial arts before the quarantine and then i was like it's gonna be weird to practice
martial arts my house but then i did go online purchase practice a scrimmage sticks and real
a scrimmage sticks for the nightstand in case of an intruder but uh stone to the fucking bone
standing in this office like a foot behind me shirtless swinging sticks around matching guys
in youtube videos while my wife works her career from home so it's been a real nice pairing yeah
you're doing you're doing some self-improvement too now's a good time to get some weird weapons at your house i think fuck yeah i've i've only felt more comfortable with my cosplay sword at
that like leaned up against the door in case someone comes in hell yeah yeah that's how you
just go and answer the door with it just kind of yeah just slap it against my hand yeah well now
you know how mad max movies happen it's like why do all these guys have weird weapons and outfits and it's like oh if fast forward two years from now in la everyone's
gonna have fucking supreme face masks and like scarves and shoulder pads and weird fucking
cosplay swords and sticks right now yeah we're all in a gang it's like i guess oh jamie has a
dune buggy i guess she drives and we hang on the outside of it. It just immediately becomes-
All built out of sporting goods.
Yeah.
And one of us always has to drag
whatever our signature weapon is on the ground
as the car moves, just scraping the road with it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Full intimidation factor.
Also, we're all in thongs.
Right, yeah.
Our cheeks are all exposed.
How big of a turkey bag have you cut off for that volcano like how
tricky are we getting here because in college we used to do like we had like a five foot bag we
would do sleeping bag we'd call it what oh that's fucking awesome i i have the regular bag and i've
been doing that for now but this new hybrid one has the uh hookah top and i feel like a fucking
uh bounty hunter in the star wars world i'm like i have a
metal robot that's glowing and i have a tube coming out of it that i'm breathing in and now
you're only dealing credits yeah i literally operate my entire life from the chair you're
looking at and i'm either podcasting or playing diablo 3 while puffing on a fucking volcano
and my wife is getting insurance and income and 401k for us while i while i gather
fucking mac weldon money i'm like a martial arts training from from a seat from a chair
chair-based martial arts oh dude that would be the one i'd be the best at if you could find a
chair that could structurally support me moving around in it, then let's fuck. I'll do all my martial arts from a chair.
Just, I mean, I totally know what a volcano is and what a turkey bag is, obviously.
What is that for our listeners, though?
I didn't know.
Okay.
Stores and Bickle is this company that makes, for some people, the highest level consumer
vaporizer you can have in your house, because
you can't carry it around.
It's like a fucking desk piece you put down, and there's attachments to vaporize weed,
and it's like a fan that will inflate a turkey bag.
I mean, there's a plastic bag that comes with it.
What the fuck is a turkey bag?
Like that.
Oh, it's just a turkey-sized bag.
Plastic bag.
And it'll fill up with vapor and then you pull
it off and put a mouthpiece on and you're basically like bag piping this vapor into your mouth with
the mouthpiece but as you get you know how i go to the bag pipe you have to depress the bladder
for the air to come out yeah come on where am i where are my pipers at um so like in this sense
you just sort of depress all the vapor into your mouth.
But you can kind of make your own size bag if you want.
That's the beauty of it.
So idiot college kids will abuse it, and it'll turn into a used car lot where they have a
seven-foot turkey bag flailing with vapor in it.
All right.
And now let me explain turkey bag, because I'm sure you have a question about that.
Oh, yeah.
That part.
The volcano comes with bags that fill with the vaporized flour,
but you can use turkey bags, which are like half the price of volcano bags
because they're built to resist heat.
They're built to cook turkeys in so you could fill it with hot vapor.
Oh, shit.
But a turkey bag is a roll that you can kind of cut to your own length
so you can make like a six foot bag
fill it all with the vapor from like a gram of weed and just take that out into the living room
and play doom eternal for a month that was like a stuff you should know uh ask x explainer on uh
what what turkey bag means and i feel much more enlightened, I did not catch a word of that.
It's like when
someone starts describing weed paraphernalia
to me, my brain shuts all the
way off. Jamie, get Isaac
in here. Get Isaac in here to translate.
Isaac stayed up till
4.20 in the morning to smoke weed
by himself outside to show
commitment to his lifestyle.
I sawac's hair
when he fixed it like so i you didn't have to tell me he stayed up to 420
is that something is that something you guys did uh miles and john no i'm too old for that
i i can't do that tool tool for this well i guess you guys aren't real weed heads are you
truly it took me like five years
of being married, five years of being, living
with my wife to put my
bedtime to a reasonable bedtime
because I was realizing she was going to bed
at like 11.30 and I was staying up till
3.30 in the morning every single night and I was
like, why don't I just go to sleep
with her and I just started doing that and I
was like, wow, this is like way better.
I'm waking up at a reasonable hour. Gr i granted my skyrim characters are level 20 instead yeah exactly i'm like oh
this is like what a proper i can't do i can't stay up that much past midnight anymore uh what
is something you think is underrated gabriel amazon's bosh well yeah that's what i'm hearing suddenly i fucking love that show uh i think it's
just like uh a prestige procedural does that make sense like yeah it's like as brainless as the
mentalist but because it's like streaming and not like network and not 100 episodes and uh it just
feels like a prestige it's very a to a it's just a pop who has got to
get things done his way but for us la residents it has a fun layer in that it takes place in la
and the writer michael connelly is obsessed with la restaurants and he lives here and all his
writing like the bosh the character stops at birds to have the chicken and the onion rings
because he loves it or whatever so on in the show it's always like hey i brought you john and vinnie's
they're like oh if you're gonna be that way you got to hit up the roast beef spot on uh olympic
like they that shit is just part of the show which i dig it's very geographical in that way
yeah i had always associated that with monk and like psych and other one word things i need to check out
bosh it is it is like that but uh rat like rather than a quirky character he's yeah it's just better
it's like the phrase i use is for dads by dads it's like clearly written by a room full of dads
to make men who aspire to be dads or have dad-like energy to fucking feel good about them
so it's just like the main character titus welliver is like an uh a navy seal from like
afghanistan but he's also a cop but his age doesn't make any sense because he's like 60 so
he would have been like a 48 year old navy seal so like they're like history is wishy-washy because uh bosh in the books is a vietnam vet and it makes
a little more sense hieronymus bosh that's his name yes yeah he's very very very cool name uh
what is something you think is overrated um i feel bad because i i frequently like things so i have a
hard time finding things overrated often if things if everyone's overrated
i watch it and i if everyone thinks something's overrated i watch and i go what i think it's
highly rated for a reason but but if i have to answer the question for the premise of the podcast
i would say love is blind everyone went ape shit for that netflix show i know that makes that puts
me like fully 90 days behind culture uh on a show that has the word daily in the title.
Yeah.
Maybe you can listen to an episode from a month and a half ago where we talked about this.
But I thought it was fucking kind of boring and annoying.
I thought it was kind of overrated.
Yeah.
That Chet Hanks Jamaican accent, huh?
What's that about?
Yeah.
You know what people like about that is that it gets white people able to do the patois
impression with being like oh i'm making fun of someone else i'm doing chet hanks big ups i mean
please fire complaints with uh chet hanks but yeah no have you seen the new netflix special
where they're so they're made the contestants are so horny, but they can't do anything about it?
I finished it last night.
You did?
I thought you weren't allowed to finish.
Don't you get a penalty if you finish?
The ending was disappointing, but there were a few horny people I was a fan of.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
were a few horny people i was a fan of oh okay yeah it feels so weird how topical love is blind and this uh horny hot people show how accidentally topical they ended up being like right right
they're like yeah this took two years to put together we had no idea we would be dating in
isolation and people would be so horny on their social media yeah right yeah like back to back
the premises of these shows was,
I'm in love with a disembodied voice.
And then the next one's, I'm so horny and can't do anything about it.
Yeah, next month is, I put on 20 pounds and I hate my fucking wife.
How would they keep accidentally nailing the zeitgeist?
Oh, it said the title by accent uh hey what is uh
what's a myth finally what's something people think is true you know to be false or vice versa
you know what that fat dude smell um i feel like that's just like a stereotype from like
fucking movies like dig deep as a white straight male to find a stereotype that bothers me.
Do you ever see Shallow Hal?
Well, that movie, that's what my childhood.
No, I think there's just a lot of people just like for the longest time,
fat was like the punchline for smelly or farts.
It's like gas affects all people.
You know what I mean uh and also that fat
people fat people like all food you can get fat just drinking coca-cola um because like i get a
look every time i tell someone i don't like sweets it's like i'm like i don't have to eat ice cream to get fat, dude. Trust me. They're like, you don't like sweets?
Yeah, exactly.
And they're like, okay.
I'm like, all right, pal.
Fuck you.
So I'm here to bust that myth finally.
Everybody farts.
Fat people's farts don't smell worse or better.
He said it.
If you're like fat to the degree where you could reach your
whole body then you don't have insane gross bo either all right guys let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back 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 Thank you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal
for you. Come up here and
document my project. All you need to do is
record everything like you always do.
One session.
24 hours.
BPM 110.
120. She's terrified.
Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar.

Most of the time.
And we're back.
And just a quick appetizer, this image that i'm pretty sure is real
from a couple days ago jacksonville beaches reopened over the weekend and 26 minutes later
somebody took a picture an aerial view of the beaches and they're just like packed just completely full of uh people who are
just ready to it see it seems like we we are truly in a in a bubble uh in that we live in a city where
people are not uh outraged by by the fact that we're being asked to shelter in place it seems
like a lot of people are taking that as a uh a direct challenge to their autonomy
as americans that's good challenge your mortality at every turn yeah hell yeah this is depressing i
think there's also that mentality though i think like on some level you kind of have to be in
denial that anything bad could happen to you like yeah it's easy to act like this if you haven't
accepted like you know what maybe the universe is so huge i'm meaningless life form on this tiny
dot like swirling the earth and it could explode and that has no effect on anything outside of
maybe my social media you know i mean like and to think like i can wander around and there's no way
i could get sick that's not gonna happen
there's no way anyone i i could never be an asymptomatic carrier and then possibly infect
someone in my family like it's just like yeah you're clearly not even doing those thoughts
you clearly don't even have those thoughts you're gonna be like yeah fuck you it's at the beach
yeah we did a live show on uh the zeitgeist of the year 2000. And one of the things we talked about
was how the story that came out of the Y2K scare
was that everybody got worked up for no reason
and it was like not anything to worry about.
And in reality, like they spent a bunch of time
and put a bunch of resources into preparing the computers
so that nothing bad happened.
But the way it like kind of came to the general public
and hit the zeitgeist was the,
well, there's nothing to worry about.
Bad things don't happen.
Everything's going to work itself out.
You don't have to worry about anything.
And now I feel like that's been,
even though 9-11 happened,
I feel like people, again,
we had this very traumatic thing happen on tv but it never like
reached people anywhere who who weren't like living directly around the the terror attacks
so people are and not to mention uh people are having the reaction to the coronavirus
that we were told to have to a terrorist attack. Like when the terrorist attack,
they're like, don't let them ruin your lives.
You go about your lives.
If you don't go to Disneyland, the terrorists win.
And people are reacting that way to a pandemic,
which is not the correct response.
The pandemic wins if you don't go to the beach in Jacksonville.
It's like, no, no, no, that's the terrorist.
That's the terrorist attitude.
For pandemic attitude, it's stay at home. It's like, no, no, no. That's the terrorist. That's the terrorist attitude for pandemic attitude.
It's stay at home.
It's Rosie,
the riveter shit,
do your part.
And all you gotta do is just fucking not hurt.
Stay,
stay home.
It feels like people are like,
really like we'll do anything to like regain any sense of control over their
lives too.
Is just like,
Oh,
what is one?
Like I,
Oh,
I can make a choice.
Let me make a bad one.
But like people are just excited to be making choices like without regard for anyone else i will say along the same lines
i think a lot of people in this country and uh i again i'm because of privilege unaware of this
i think a lot of people in this country's lives according to them suck shit for 50 to 51 weeks
out of the year then they get this week to go to the beach
in jacksonville and then it's like no sorry you can't it's dangerous and they're like no fuck it
there's no you can't take i think i would have had that attitude when i was 20 i feel like my
dad would have had that attitude if he was still alive he'd be like i bust my ass all fucking year
you're not telling me i can't do blank. I think there's that modern attitude.
And it's because we're so fucking beaten down to live for our vacation or live for our freedom.
Destroy yourself emotionally, physically, spiritually, family for your country.
But one week a year, go fucking ham.
You know what I mean?
And then people are told they can't do that.
Or on the weekends, you can't go to Jacksonville after working a 70-hour shift.
Right.
So this is kind of a...
I fully agree that it's just...
The fact that we can't deal with this very basic part where everybody is supposed to
be sheltering in place, but it's been politicized to the point that they're now, you know, that that's going away.
And now there's some, you know, speculation and disagreement added to the mix.
And now people are heckling health care workers in Colorado at a protest where they were basically protesting stay at home orders.
they were basically protesting stay-at-home orders.
They started heckling healthcare workers, which is something that happens actually throughout history.
Anytime there's a pandemic or a plague, healthcare workers end up being attacked, and it'll probably
happen.
That's probably where we're headed.
But this is still sort of a very basic stage of this pandemic.
This is still sort of a very basic stage of this pandemic.
And this New York Times article over the weekend looked at kind of what the next two years will look like.
And some of the stages were just very sci-fi dystopia, while also I feel like being a little
bit too optimistic in places.
But they start out talking about something that we talked about last week,
the possibility that people with antibodies will get these immunity passports that they will then
be able to go out and work and society will be sort of informally split into these two classes.
You've got the immune people who can work and then the people who have to shelter at home.
And they speculate about the possibility that you see your neighbor being able to go to work.
And sometimes it will be them going to work the job that you lost because you can't.
That's going to really fuck with people.
Jesus.
it's gonna really fuck with people jesus yeah and then maybe like if you have uh the antibodies you get like a uh if you don't if you haven't had coronavirus yet or you're sick or something
you get a little mark on you like on your jacket you have to wear like something that says like
you're less of a citizen and then if you have the antibodies you get like a special hat
that says like like stanford experiment style you're in charge and you can do whatever the
fuck you want that's
just another way to divide people and it's like guess what families of wealthy people buying the
hats that say their kids are you know what i mean like it's gonna just immediately be and guess what
rich people hack the system they're all working it's black people who have the problem now it's
got this freaky like like eugenics vibe to it too. Because imagine, right?
You need the economy going.
It's like, nah, man, we only work with people with immunity passes or whatever.
You know what I mean?
We need people out there fucking putting in shifts, man.
It sounds like a bad metaphor that someone would use in a shitty book.
They're like, well, if you think about it, the passport means...
It opens up doorways and allows you access to places and things
it just sounds like a shitty metaphor yeah no but like to the point where like even like
at like if you think of like if we go even sci-fi more sci-fi about how a corporation would look at
potential employees it's that like well actually we only like people with this genetic makeup
because it allows them to do the work we need at our company.
And then like,
that's like a desirable trait where it's like,
Hey,
my fucking grandfather was an immunity pass holder.
My fucking dad and me,
my fucking kid is not going to marry some fucking shelter in place.
Weakling.
Like,
you know what I mean?
Like that's what it leads to.
And like,
realistically people
will falsify like people will find out how to afford immunity passports if they want to not
if they want to but like if if it comes to that in the government assistance for people who are
sheltering in place doesn't come through the way it needs to people will just fake immunity
passports like 100 there's gonna be like a wealthy hookup guy who's like right yeah hey
billionaires reach out i'm fucking selling these passes uh or you you guys got political sway
ask your fucking senators for a pass right one other possibility that they mention is that people
will have party like there there's this uh urban legend that I think might actually be partially true in Brentwood and really rich anti-vaxxer communities, but that people would have chicken pox parties where they would bring their kids together so the kids get chicken pox and get it out of the way at the same time so the families can all fucking vacation together or whatever who knows but this
person was i'll just read the quote my daughter who is a harvard economist keeps telling me her
age group needs to have covet 19 parties to develop immunity and keep the economy going
and they're like i mean that's probably something that young people who are desperate
enough would mean granted any sentence that starts my daughter who is a Harvard economist
can fuck itself straight away, but it does underline something.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I can, I can see that like that is a possibility I could see where people are just, uh, even
if you're in a shelter
at home position or like being told to shelter at home you would go out to try and get it or like
you wouldn't give a fuck about getting it because then it makes you more economically viable and
you're young enough that you think you're not gonna die even though a lot of like young healthy
people have been dying but that that detail kind of underlined for me that there are all these like
sci-fi realities from history that i don't know why we don't when sci-fi realities and like
dystopian shit starts happening in our society we're like whoa this is out of fiction but it's
like well it's also out of the past like the past trying to get to Elysium, man. Yeah, exactly. Stop pitching Elysium, Miles.
No one else has seen it.
All right, I'll find another opportunity.
Let me just cool that one off for a sec.
I'll be back with it.
Whenever the government might take over.
Jesus Christ.
You said it in the Taco Bell drive-thru I don't know
It's like fucking the whole thing dude
This sounds like a shitty Jessica Chastain movie
They're like
Jessica Chastain and Amy
Or Amy Adams
Are in all these scenario movies
Right
You know the scenario movies
Yeah I think you're describing movies.
No, the movies with the scenarios.
The movies that have scenarios in them?
No, no, no, no, no.
The scenario movies.
Did, like, in this future where there's the haves and have-nots of the immunity passport or whatever,
is that assuming that there's, like, once we treat it, that that's how people are just going to be sort of broken up
or that sort of one phase until we can we're able to treat or vaccine or whatever.
I think this is more middle distance, like before we have a vaccine.
Got it.
People who have been exposed or who are able to get the antibodies somehow.
Yeah, I could see there being some some version where people are getting transfusions to get the antibodies into their blood.
Right.
Like very rich people.
But yeah, that's generally the idea is that before we can actually have the vaccine, the economy will be such.
Like this is more the next six months type of a scenario.
And then they just talk about how far away the vaccine is.
And then they just talk about how far away the vaccine is.
Like the shit that they like,
how they develop vaccines,
like involves them putting viruses in like something called a cellular broth.
They're talking about like converting old liquor and beer plants to like a
large fermentation vat to try and develop the vaccines,
which is just very,
it sounds much less kind of laser precision than I was expecting the process to be.
Yeah, like old copper still in a fucking like wooden paddle.
And they're like, yeah, just cooking up some vaccine.
Just a guy with like a giant spoon
just stirring a fucking cellular broth.
How much does a quart of cellular broth go for? a fucking cellular broth? How much does a quart
of cellular broth go for?
What's cellular broth?
It sounds delicious.
It honestly sounds like some shit. People in LA, that's the new diet
thing because we went to like bone
broth and shit. I'm all strict
cellular broth now.
It's hand whisks for three hours.
Let's see how this
IPA is tasting.
No, not that barrel!
It tastes exactly like IPA.
Holy shit.
Oh, God.
Wow, this is going to give me diarrhea tomorrow anyway.
Do you have gluten-free cellular broth?
Yeah, right.
If you'll give us a moment, Jamie and I want to talk the last dance here real quick. Do you have gluten-free cellular broth? Yeah, right.
If you'll give us a moment,
Jamie and I want to talk the last dance here real quick.
Yeah. Right, for sure.
I think we need to because I do think a lot of people
watched it last night or two nights ago.
This was episode one and two of a ESPN 10-part docuseries about...
It's going to be 10 parts?
Yeah.
I think I just gave up on watching it.
I was like, I definitely want to watch it.
You said it was 10 parts,
and in my head I went, nope, not happening.
I was like, oh, it's going to be four.
It's going to be four.
I know, especially right now
when absolutely no one has time.
It's just like, what were they thinking?
It should have been four.
That's my first note.
And I have a lot of...
No, I'm kidding.
Go ahead, Doug.
A lot of notes.
Okay.
So you got notes.
I mean, so basically the entire thing,
I talked about how I read this book,
David Halberstam's Playing for Keeps
to prepare for this docuseries.
And it's basically kind of a rehab.
It's the exact same premise.
It's covering the very last season
of jordan's bulls and then it like goes back in time it really like follows the exact same
blueprint um but there are definitely some things that change how you like but by seeing michael
jordan he's like so likable and good-looking and amazing to watch
that you can't really dictate him as much.
He's so likable, good-looking, amazing to watch.
His biceps are like...
I don't know if he's even lifting weights,
but I don't know.
The way he's cut, it's like all push-ups.
I like his mustache, his jeans, his baseball swing.
He's so handsome. He's so handsome.
He's so nice.
He's not like the other boys, Jack.
No, I'm not shading you.
I love, we love how much of a fan you are.
That's just funny because people too are tweeting at us.
They're like, Jack's going to be talking about this, right?
Like we've got to get the takes.
So here's my take.
The current Michael Jordan, he was, I thought he had two hot dogs next to him
but they were actually the two fattest cigars i'd ever seen in my life i thought he had like
a glass of whiskey and two hot dogs so red i i don't know he needs visine like he that's the
only thing i could think of when the old Michael Jordan was being interviewed was he looks
so either high or
hungover. It's incredible.
His eyes are like bright red bloodshot
every time. I couldn't
get past the hot dogs.
I don't know. The giant hot dogs.
They were too giant.
He just had some loose hot dogs.
It gets more confusing
when you find out he has two hot dog-sized
cigars on the table next to him
the whole time.
That's pure 90s guy
celebrity shit.
That was the coolest shit in the 90s.
Got those hot dog-sized
cigars. Every actor
did a cover for Cigar Aficionado.
If you search
your favorite male celebrity
as plus cigar and every one of them's like yeah these 50 year old 50 year old actors fucking love
cigars if you're in yeah if you're in any film that jerry bruckheimer or michael bay touched
it came part of your agreement to be in the film was you had to be on the cover of cigar aficionado
even if you're a woman.
Well, that and you have to get huge-ass veneers, too.
That's the other side of the Bruckheimer coin.
Big veneers, skull rings.
Cigar Aficionado vaccine.
As I smoke a blunt on Zoom.
I mean, Jerry Krause, obviously,
is the villain of the first couple episodes uh he's the
gm he just looks like absolute shit in every shot so it's like it's not fair at all like he's in
this documentary with just all the best athletes in the world these like large uh you know statuesque people and he's just this like
flabby little troll who like his facial expression is just like looks like he's
taking the shit that killed elvis and having a stroke at the same time um
but yeah i mean so jamie like watching watching young Michael Jordan, you were just like,
whatever.
No, I was like, I got a crush and Ball is life.
Those are the two.
Ball is life.
He really says it over and over and he never says it in those words.
And you got to appreciate the art of not just having.
It would be so hard if you were Michael Jordan to not just say Ball is life all the time.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Like as if he's Groot.
I didn't know.
That's all Michael Jordan can say, man.
Michael, oh my God, six championships.
You must be so happy.
Ball is life.
One of the unexpected parts of the docuseries is they talk about the 84 Bulls,
like the team that he joined that was called the roving
cocaine circus at one point and jordan jordan like reacts like you guys just react he's like
laughing so hard and he's like hey man i'm not gonna get into specifics and then he proceeds
to tell a story where he like goes to one of the guys hotels
rooms and he's like every other member on the team was there doing lines and cheating on their wives
like he doesn't do a good job of uh oh my god blowing up hey i'm not gonna get into all that
man but you should have seen man this guy he's got post nasal drip now because he's got no sinuses
oh here's another okay here's another
observation that did you guys notice that facebook sponsored the whole documentary but they kept
calling themselves the facebook company facebook company what the fuck is that they brought the
back they brought the the uh after justin timberlake told them not to oh he said it's
cleaner you know it's like it's an iconic line read have we reached justin
timberlake for comment i don't know yeah someone should reach out to him he might be too busy uh
cheating on jessica beal but we'll see yeah he gets back to ouch shit oh my gosh phil jackson
was definitely on his uh hipster swag shit a decade. He has like a beard when nobody did.
He's wearing like trench coats and just like
awkward clothes that
don't really fit him.
And they show like a flashback to when
he was hired and he's wearing like
weird glasses and a baseball
hat. He looks like he's being styled by
Brandon Wardell.
Wow. A reference I got.
Jack, you are my Dennis Miller.
Like you've been dressed up by Brandon Wardell, babe.
You're looking like a Wardell, babe.
Yeah, but still, babe.
Say hello to yeah, but still, babe.
The only other thing, I i mean the thing you have to
keep reminding yourself uh it's easy to forget but jordan punched steve kerr in the face uh so
that's good to keep in mind because steve kerr is like in there and is just as likable as always he
punched him in the face during practice uh and steve kerr punched him back which i i never knew
that part of the story but
fuck yeah steve carr rules and then there's this other anecdote that's not in the documentary
uh but that i think gets at the same thing that is worth keeping in mind while watching the
documentary because it seems like he's you know very competitive but still like fun to be around
at least thus far so this is a quote from somebody named warren sharp who
is i don't know like just somebody who talked to somebody who golfed with him he says the day
before game four of the bulls sons finals with the bulls leading the series 2-1 michael jordan
and charles barkley went golfing they played 48 holes which is a random number. I don't know why. Of golf, and Michael bought Charles a $20,000 diamond earring.
Johnny asked MJ, what did you do all that for?
Michael responded, he won't get in my way the rest of the series.
What's $20,000 to me?
Charles thinks we're great friends.
I hate that fat fuck.
Jordan dropped 55 in game four, and Barkley never touched him once.
Worth.
Because he's just master
of the mind fuck, dude.
Taps into that dark phoenix
energy. Yeah, one of the
good 4G
chess.
5G? 5G chess.
4G chess quotes from the book.
It talks about how he would talk to all the beat reporters
from other teams to find out dirt about the players
he was going against,
to find out their psychological weakness.
Very manipulative.
Fucking rule.
I just love a version of that, though, where he takes it to the next i was like
oh man he hates snakes and like michael somehow has like snakes on him during the game and shit
like every time like he takes it so literally opens his mouth and he has like a baby garter
snake in there fucking sean kemp fucking drops the ball out of it but it's snakes so small that
like people that no one would
ever believe him either like no there's a snake in his mouth oh yeah he has a and he's like yeah
man I brought a snake in my mouth come on give me a break give me a break every story you hear
about Jordan like every athlete that excelled in or every person that excelled in life has like some personality
facet where you're like you know they were outside taking slap shots seven hours a day or like they
could look at someone break them down emotionally and know what they wanted or needed and that's why
he's a master businessman uh every jordan has one of those in every category like right he's like
he went outside and played for a thousand
hours every week right he's a psychological he's a genius he's physically built perfectly for the
sport he's also mentally built like he's got like literally like like a michael phelps thing where
it's like his body's perfect for swimming and he's dumb enough to look at the black line for
fucking 11 hours a day in a chlorinated pool he's like built to succeed
in this way jordan i loved that olympic i loved that olympic segment where they said phelps was
dumb enough to look at a black line the guy could do 40 000 yards a day in a pool because
he's fucking looking at a black line he doesn't need to be challenged he's fucking
one of the quotes from him he's like sometimes i forget i'm swimming
what i've nearly drowned five times but jordan has all those stories where he mentally goes the way
he goes deeper than you have to go he already has the mental acumen he's like
blessed with all this gifted talent and then also blessed with this in like
this ambition to the nth degree and it's just it's really remarkable he fucking switches sports
got snakes even if you suck at baseball to just switch and fucking play baseball is wild cool
just to be like oh yeah i could also play that sport too motherfucker watch people are
starting to write like revisionist articles about how he like was headed for the majors but he he
sucked he wasn't gonna go to the major no i remember that was like a thing my dad had to
tell me as a kid when he went to do baseball i'm like oh my god he's gonna be in the major league
baseball he's like no he will yeah but they're not gonna write about that but he will gonna be in the major league baseball he's like no he will yeah but they're not gonna write
about that but he will not be in major league baseball i'm like but dad he but he's michael
jordan i'm like that doesn't mean he's he's good at baseball yeah and that fucked me up i remember
that was the moment i realized he was human because in my mind he was like he was ready to
be the fucking like whatever rookie of the year in major league baseball like it's michael jordan
he's the greatest at whatever he does right bro that's some real shit like between
that and phantom menace in your childhood like you learn not to like look forward to shit like
anything in your life that you're like i oh this sounds amazing it's like don't get your hopes up
kid they're like we have limits man and i'm like huh same thing happened to me when carl malone
wrestled diamond Dallas Page.
I was like, well, he's the mailman.
He's got to always deliver.
You were a huge Malone fan?
Dude, the OG Dream Team, like, I was the perfect age.
I didn't like basketball.
I wasn't good at it.
I didn't play it, so I didn't have a huge fandom of it.
But the Dream Team was so perfectly marketed for my age. And I know every good at it. I didn't play it. So I didn't have a huge fandom of it, but the dream team was so perfectly marketed for my age.
And I know every player on that.
I don't know anything about current basketball,
but I could probably,
I can name like all the way down to Leitner on the fucking depth charge of
that.
I can't believe they went with Leitner over Shaq,
but yeah,
that was,
that was really cool.
Well,
he hit that buzzer beater, and it was great TV.
Yeah.
Oh, and America loves a young white kid who hustles in a sport dominated by black people.
That's like the most activate middle America.
It's like, Bill Romanowski's got heart.
You're like, shut up.
We know what you're saying.
He's got a hustle okay
christian later in the right way it's weird to think that man is 50 years old as i look at his
wikipedia i'm like what holy shit he was a kid when i was yeah i don't like yeah i don't know
what i'm thinking i'm like wow man time huh, remember the first time you were older than a cop?
That was the shit that blew my mind.
When I was like 25 walking through New York City,
I'm like, who the fuck is this kid with a gun?
I'm now having to fight the urge to talk shit to you
because you're younger than me.
All right, guys, let's take another quick break
and we'll
be back to talk about Demolition Man. 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.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up.
In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila
caught up in a bizarre situation.
KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a
children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from
his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from
Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football,
the search for meaning away from the gridiron
and the consequences for everyone involved.
You mix homesteading with guns and church
and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories
that we liked.
Voila!
You got straight away.
I felt like I was living in North Korea,
but worse, if that's possible
listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
and we're back and super producer anna hosney i pointed out we forgot to talk about how underrated
scotty pippen is we'll talk about him in the next one. I just had
to go on for three minutes about
how beautiful Michael Jordan is.
That was important. I think
it was important to the listeners.
What do you think of his arms, though? Is that just all
push-ups, pull-ups?
Unbelievable.
The thing is that he was so strong,
but he looked wiry.
That's what was truly incredible about it.
Anyways, amazing physique, amazing physique.
Demolition Man.
Speaking of amazing physiques and people who smoke cigars,
Demolition Man.
What is Demolition Man?
Oh.
Go ahead.
Allow me.
I'll leave this to you, Gabriel.
Sylvester Stallone plays a cop uh from the future who's frozen and then uh uniced even further in the future when uh he must help to bring down
wesley snipes who is an unfrozen criminal um and he's partnered with new cop sandra bullock who's kind of a fan of the old ways of the
old like right-wing fantasy action movie cop of the 90s uh-huh but the future is different it's
soft now but i think the main comparison the current climate is the lack of toilet paper
correct like we're all doing seashells use the shells Yeah, so they don't have toilet paper.
They use shells,
and it's kind of a joke
that you never really know
how the shells work.
But the other thing is
that nobody wants to touch each other.
They have non-touch sex
and video meetings
and stuff like that.
The hunk-a-chunk-a,
as Sylvester Stallone calls it,
the hunk-a-chunk-a in that movie.
Yeah. They don't do the hunk-a hunk of chunka. As Sylvester Stallone calls it, the hunk of chunka in that movie. Yeah.
They don't do the hunk of chunka.
You know, you want to do the hunk of chunka, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They got the, I mean, they said all restaurants would be Taco Bell,
which is close.
Taco Bell.
Like it was kind of calling your shot because Taco Bell did become our best restaurant,
which I probably wouldn't have foreseen in the early 90s.
I mean, yeah.
Well, as they put it in the parlance of the times of then,
the Taco Bell won the franchise wars.
That's how they ended up on top
because in San Angeles in the year 2032,
what you're talking about is we've moved on to
more of like a pacifist way of living because this sort of like Raymond Cocteau, this figure
who's like a self-help improvement guru, he runs the city and has dictated this new culture we live
in now in San Angeles. I love Demolition Man so much. My dad took me to see this shit in the movie theater in 1993 i was nine years
old wow i was there at 11 with my dad yeah and i was like i couldn't because my dad was like yo
this is gonna be fucking tight like i was like great like i'm nine like let's do this shit
and there's like i like it was a full-on r-rated film fine whatever um you see
stallone's ass pretty well too yeah you see his shredded ass dude is it tight oh yeah oh you gotta
see it man look it up oh yeah but the guy the guy who directed it is this artist named marco brambilla
and i think that's why my dad went first because he's an he's an artist this guy
does like a lot of really great video art if you ever been to the standard in new york uh the video
in the hotel that's like going up and down that shows all the trippy shit as you're descending
and ascending that's that's made by marco brambilla the guy who directed demolition man
so he he got into this film is actually really trippy because he was like this art dude and when
he made the film he's like i want to make something fucking weird and this was kind of right up his
alley but when he saw how much influence the studios had on him and how to make the film he
never made a film after that he's like fuck this like that's the only film he made and he just went
to doing art but he was like this is like one moment and it's fucking demolition man that's a fucking baller imdb page where it just says director you click on it and it just says
demolition man and that's it yeah that fucking rules dude mic drop bro yo another highlight of
that movie is it features dennis miller as like the underground voice guy yeah dennis leary rather
sorry uh jack's got me in dennis miller headspace dennis leary does fucking like eight minutes from Dennis Miller as like the underground voice guy. Yeah, Dennis Leary rather, sorry.
Jack's got me in Dennis Miller headspace.
Dennis Leary does fucking like eight minutes from his own stand-up hour in the movie.
Like it's straight up.
What are they, fucking rat burgers?
Feed them to me.
Who cares?
It's like, what?
He did this in your fucking.
Why is this happening?
The cure for cancer or whatever the name of that special was.
Yes.
I can't find any pictures of
Sylvester Stallone's ass on Google
Images. Oh, go to
on Instagram.
Just check
your DMs. They're probably in the request folder.
I've sent you a dozen in the
last couple of years.
You just got to look for the scene where he's being frozen.
Yeah.
Frozen Stallone-ass.
Frozen Stallone-ass.
I think that'll do it for you.
Gabrus, have you been watching any action movies during the quarantine?
Is anything kind of hitting different now that you're in quarantine?
It's really hard because something I've noticed that I'm trying to process is that so many of these action movies feel like that's what's inspiring some of the worst personalities and movements in America.
It's like so much shit about like all these movies I grew up watching, I'm now watching are like white guys with guns taking it upon themselves to kill criminals.
And like groups of like elite soldiers being
lauded as the only heroes in the world cops being heroes uh very odd opinions towards women and
minorities throughout all of these movies in the 80s and 90s uh insane rampant homophobia
and it's fine i can watch these movies and compartmentalize them to a time period
but when your president's favorite movie is Bloodsport, you're starting to realize, like, holy shit, the part of my brain that knows that, like, some people don't have that.
This is a guy who's like, Charles Bronson would fix Detroit.
You know, that's not we need a 60 year old man with a gun and the and license to kill uh so like that's the
hard part about action movies and also any movie that features anything about like um the american
people having trouble it features like bureaucrats making incorrect selfish choices which are like
yeah sort of all we're seeing in the news and so the moment when the
moment when the lieutenant's like well who cares we need the nuclear power keep it open don't tell
the authorities for another five minutes or whatever cover my ass right every dumb decision
they make it's the same shit we're doing now it's crazy the biggest renegade against the bureaucracy
is donald trump he fulfills the he's a loose cannon but we use
the loose cannon we need i think that's exactly what is how his followers think of them so what
i've been watching for comfort that's sort of action adjacent are courtroom and journalism
thrillers because they really are uh especially like the stupid grisham ones like those the 90s ones that
they just stack the shit out of the cast but then also it's always like the little person
fucking over corporate america or like the corrupt government so like those are the movies that are
giving me life at this point i'm watching for inspiration i've like i've watched all the
president's men i've watched runaway jury's Men. I've watched Runaway Jury, The Rainmaker.
All these movies are just about little people
who make a brave choice to bring down some corporate corruption.
That shit I just need in my veins right now
just so I can keep having hope that there's someone somewhere
working on our behalf, like making smart decisions somewhere.
I hope the deep state is real.
Long story short,
I'm rooting for the deep state.
I am too.
I just hope they're more competent
than they are in movies.
Fair enough.
All right.
Well, John,
it's been a pleasure having you, man.
Where can people find you,
follow you, hear you?
I'm at Gabrus on all social
media and you can listen to my podcast high and mighty or action boys if you got five dollars a
month that shit's on patreon but we have a bunch of free episodes released so if you want to give
that a listen and see if it's for you do it the batman one that you released on high and mighty
was probably the hardest i've laughed at a podcast during the quar oh thanks jack
yeah yeah that's a fun one
uh and is there a tweet uh or some other active social media you've been enjoying
oh okay yes it came out like three weeks ago but i've i haven't done this in a long time. I've been revisiting this tweet. It's a tweet by Sven Johnson.
Handle is SWEMBO2000.
And the tweet says, put me in, coach.
And then it's just some weird-ass video
of the beginning of that baseball song.
And this dude walks in in a baseball uniform
with just the the weirdest,
I can't even articulate,
I'm gonna try to articulate a viral video
as if I'm my own mother.
But he walks in with such a weird posture
and a baseball bat in his hand
and he's kind of smashing the coffee table and stuff.
And then his mom comes,
or a woman of age comes in and screams,
hey, knock it off and starts yelling at him.
But it only peaks the music louder and his aggression even louder.
And he just starts going fucking Asian.
And then it pans over real quick.
And there's like a weird guy, maybe the dad or a weird neighbor, older brother who's playing the song live on piano.
And when it culminates with him wailing a fucking huge rack of forks and knives
off of a counter it's the funniest i i know i just explained a video to you but please just
please watch this video i cannot i've been laughing at it's been giving me such fucking
relief in this quarantine uh jamie where can people find you what's the tweet you've been
enjoying uh you could find me on Twitter at Jamie Loftus Help,

One is at Reductress.
Quiz, are you white enough to smoke weed without consequence?
It's like this woman just, it's a white woman smoking a joint like on a beach, like around people.
And then another one at Reductress, a woman with like the, you know, traditional stock photo pouty face.
And it says, I moved to a hip city to pretend to be poor, not to actually be poor.
Reductress says so good.
At Devin Palmer

Birds flying low
