Hey, well, hold on. Hold on now. It's turned into a sports podcast now. Yeah, yeah. Let's do it. Let's get a hold of ourselves.
Starting point is 00:05:13 But before we get into that, we have to welcome our NBA draft expert, the hilarious and talented Sarah June. Wow, it's me. Hey, everybody. I know everything about the NBA. And I have so many opinions. For example,
Starting point is 00:05:29 one guy that was good is bad now and another guy that was bad surprisingly better this year. Have you guys noticed that in the stands
Starting point is 00:05:37 they're not real people? That's right. I just got that. They had Obama up there. Although, I don't know. How Gasol was in the building. I thought it was a little irresponsible of Obama to go to a game. Without a mask.
Starting point is 00:05:51 No one had masks on the court. No one had masks in the stands. It's irresponsible. I agree. I do hope Jimmy Butler is okay. Yeah, I do too. That was wild. He just started getting hurt all of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Anyway, let's turn it into a sports podcast. Turn it into a sports podcast. Are we getting a lot of shit for that? No, I'm just laughing because I'm fighting my own internal monologues of being like, you hate reality. You hate reality. Make with the sports talk or some other nonsense about music or minivans and smoking weed. I just want my brain inside that bubble.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Just put my brain in a bubble and bubble wrap. Sorry, June. What's new with you? I've tried to stop asking people how they're doing, so I'm just going to ask what's new with you. That's good because those conversations get bad quick. What's new? I have some great news. You guys remember how I got quarantine chickens?
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yes. Yeah. They laid their first egg yesterday. I don't know which one did it. I have my suspicions, but it was very miraculous and delicious. Wow. So you still don't know who laid the egg, but oh, that's why you're asking for those jumper cables
Starting point is 00:07:07 and that car battery. So you can figure out, get to the bottom of this. Which one of you laid the egg? I have a lot of start time. So I'm building. I did hold it up to each of them and yell, who did this? No, no answers.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Nothing. What's the, what's the rules? Like, is there like a tradition? Like with the first egg you frame it or you just eat that shit, huh? Yeah, I put it. I mean, I ate it. I framed it in my belly. You just gobbled it up?
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah, it was so cute. You just gobbled it up while you were out there? You just pick it right up off the ground? I picked it up. I screamed, who did this? And then I swallowed it whole. I'm fine. I'm doing fine in quarantine these chickens are healthy i'm glad they're laying
Starting point is 00:07:49 eggs you know look there was a whole you know we have like a whole three-act structure now uh to all of you do that's why i told you because i really wanted to to close that up for you give you guys some closure um my rooster did pass away unexpectedly which was very sad thank you but um the girls are doing fine without him, and now I wonder if they killed him. But I don't think that they did. More intrigue. Yeah. You got a whodunit on many levels. I like that.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah, I got a lot of different channels going. It's like I used to play The Sims, and now I have livestock. Now I just project stories onto my chickens. You are the mayor of Chicken City i am the king of chicken town bitch what do we think of i i keep seeing these things it's like women who kill and like there's like podcasts about it there's like tv shows who's who where are you seeing this is your wife showing these to you no No, no.

Women with two children who kill their lame husbands who never see it coming. Women with two children who kill their husbands. Your husband wants more sneakers? How to poison him with plants that might be around your house. Tell your husband it's okay to chew on plants that are around the house. It's fine. It's fine.

Starting point is 00:09:37 for dummies. That feels sexist to me to differentiate I do like that feels sexist to me to like differentiate women who kill from men who kill anybody can kill a man anybody can interested I know for men I gotta say
Starting point is 00:09:57 I'm watching I'm rewatching the staircase with my wife right now just to let her know what's up you know yeah you don't get my owl gang on you with my wife right now just to let her know what's up. If she poisons, you don't want to get my owl gang on you. But I do buy the owl theory and I think I'm slowly pulling her over to my side.

Starting point is 00:10:26 There's a theory involving a fucking owl. Did an owl push somebody down a staircase? Possibly. Did an owl stab somebody with an icicle? You don't know. And then push them down a staircase? And the doctor was the mother. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:40 My friend who is a writer had to recently do an unconscious bias training at work, and it included the surgeon is the mother riddle. What? Genuinely. Where do they work? It's an ad agency. Ad agency. That's all I can say. Oh, an ad agency ad agency that's all i can say oh an ad agency okay all right can you not afford better unconscious bias training than this who are the ad wizards who came up with
Starting point is 00:11:15 that one yeah that's what they're working on now all right let's uh tell the people what we're talking about today then we'll i mean it's gonna be the same thing for a little while here we're going to talk about how uh our democracy is going to uh be just in rubble uh fairly soon we'll talk about trump being just surprised that people aren't responding better to his race war uh provocations we'll talk about how the latest sign that America works and capitalism works is that advertisers are treating the upcoming, just the worst time in u.s history for our uh democracy like it's a uh nba playoff going to game seven yeah game going to game 15 yes uh we're going to talk about trump what why he is so good at being a leader uh with regards to his interactions his secret letters letters from and to Kim Jong-un. And then we'll do some brain bleach about Subway, about Borat, about Jimmy Carter,
Starting point is 00:12:33 about brand logos, all of that, plenty more. But first, Sargeant, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I recently searched for the movie velvet gold mine uh which have have you seen this movie either of you no no i know about i've not seen it though okay but you know of it right so it's it's it's a 1998 movie by todd haynes director of safe and uh carol um another yeah i've seen Safe. It's great. And so I had heard
Starting point is 00:13:08 that he made a movie called Velvet Goldmine about glitter rock, glam rock. And I was like, great. I heard it was a queer classic. And I was like, great. And I had heard about this movie, and I've had
Starting point is 00:13:24 this movie in my mind for many years of like, it's Todd Haynes' glam rock movie. I read the Wikipedia article for it. So I thought that I knew what the movie was about. Recently, I watched the movie and I was like, there is something in here that was not mentioned in anything that I read about it, which granted was not a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Right. Okay. But the plot of the movie according to Wikipedia is set in 1984. British journalist Arthur Stewart is writing an article about the withdrawal from public life of 1970s glam rock star Brian Slade. Following a death hoax 10 years earlier. And is interviewing those who had a part in the entertainer's career. As each person recalls their thoughts it becomes the introduction of the vignette for that particular segment in slade's personal and professional life pretty clear cut yep i feel like i can envision what i'm about to
Starting point is 00:14:14 see you feel like you can envision what you're about to see and yet i start this movie and one of the first things that happens is that an alien ufo comes down from outer space and gives baby oscar wilde a gemstone that makes him gay what that's literally the first sequence in the movie and it's not mentioned anywhere a canonical storyline of this movie is that, is that, Todd Haynes is a genius. Todd Haynes is a genius. That's the through line. Like in the film, it is implied,
Starting point is 00:14:51 heavily implied, that David Bowie, essentially, you know, that the message of this movie is that David Bowie and other glam rock stars, and these characters, Brian Slade and Kurt Wilde, are incarnations of different aliens.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Oh. And those aliens become rock stars. That rock stars are literally aliens. This is a big... I mean, it's very cool. There's no problem. I'm just saying, I would have watched this movie a lot earlier if I knew there were aliens.
Starting point is 00:15:20 They really led with that. That makes it sound so fucking dope, actually. It was like an Almost Famous type vibe. Based off the description you were talking about. they really led with that it's dope that's like makes it sound so fucking dope actually i thought we're about to it was like an almost famous type vibe based on the description you were talking about oh okay this makes sense and now you're like no no no we're going deeper than that that's what i'm saying this movie was marketed to me by the internet and it just left out and then i went and i looked on letterboxd and every every review on letterboxd mentions the alien so
Starting point is 00:15:43 i'm like okay thank god i because i watched it I watched it and then I went and looked at the Wikipedia again. And I was like, how high was I watching this movie? Right, right, right. There's aliens in it, right? I felt crazy. That's so dope, actually. So yeah, that's why I was looking up Velvet Goldmine. Because I was like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Special alien surprise. Very special alien surprise. Honestly, you know, I wasn't expecting it. And it's rare that you see a movie that you think you know what it's about and it's like something else. And it just totally takes you. Especially nowadays
Starting point is 00:16:15 with these spoilers and your Wikipedias. And your trailer releases. Yeah. Anyway. They should have content warnings that aren't like warnings for like sex nudity violence but things like ufos or aliens or like shit that would make me want to check it out you know positive content yeah positive content warnings yeah content promises yes like an ingredient list like exactly okay some misogyny some sci-fi
Starting point is 00:16:47 lasers okay like okay i think i'm fucking with this yeah then you can just click on the ufo's tag and you're like this movie has a ufo in it you know right at some point you know right that's not getting anything away to say sequence like trippy something like trippy something would be good on weed I think that's a little too subjective yeah
Starting point is 00:17:11 some people would be like no yeah what is something you think is overrated this election very overrated I've been enjoying it it's my favorite one dude i keep hearing that it's a big one but i don't think it's really i don't think it's really i think
Starting point is 00:17:31 it's gonna flop yeah i don't think it's gonna open big it's not gonna do numbers it ain't doing it's not gonna do numbers yeah people just aren't gonna really pay attention they'll be like oh who did win that actually yeah i mean i think just like you know back to work slave oh sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry i think i remember who won now uh it was jeff bezos private prisons that's who won you know the whole like you know you look at the numbers of like who people are planning to vote for after the debate like you know after the debate who do you want to vote for and it's like you know biden has more has better numbers Trump, but you know who has even better numbers? Not voting.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Most people are voting for not voting. And that's, that's what makes me think, you know, I don't think people are going to come out and see this movie, you know, especially with, with COVID.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Yeah. I mean, they wouldn't even see Tenet. What the fuck are they going to do? Go vote for Joe Biden. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, they wouldn't even see Tenet. What the fuck are they going to do? Go vote for Joe Biden? Yeah, I don't know. Zeitgang is going to go out and vote.
Starting point is 00:18:36 They're going to go vote this Cheeto clown out of office, though. I'll tell you that much. Yeah, I mean, do your thing. Vote. Right, right. Yeah, no, you're saying, what's the room look like, though? Is everybody on the same page? Because this is how it was last time, where it's like, the people who get it are like yep don't yeah right i understand and then there's like a whole group of people every election they say there's so many people across
Starting point is 00:18:54 the country who don't vote it's so terrible it's so terrible not to vote and then every fucking election they spend a bunch of money on get out the vote everybody's telling their friends to vote we're all doing the thing, right? The thing you're supposed to do. And then the election comes around and still a lot of people aren't voting. Who are these people that aren't voting? I mean, there's,
Starting point is 00:19:14 there's a lot of them, Jack, there's a lot of different reasons, but like, that's who's, that's what's winning is not voting. Cause voting like, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:23 well, yeah, people haven't quite put together the cause and effect or anything and if you're in a situation where you don't see any prospects of improvement you're like how does that do something because i'm dying and then you're telling me if i punch a hole in this thing i might get health insurance i mean i'll say this i'm not old but i've seen a number of presidential elections that is more than four. And every single one has been exactly the same.
Starting point is 00:19:49 So I'm 16. I'm 16 years old and I have a lot of experience. I've witnessed, I guess, I know I want to see how many it is. I guess it would be, I was born in 1990. So when was the 92? 1990. Whoa. So when was the... 92? 92. 92 was your first. And then 6.
Starting point is 00:20:08 And then 2000. 92, 6, 2000, 4, 8, 12, 16, 7. This is my eighth presidential election. Yeah. And as a two-year-old, you were actually supporting Ross Perot, I remember. Yeah, famously. No, I was a Nader supporter as a two-year-old.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Okay, hell yeah. yeah oh he just paid you to do that one ad and you i remember you were saying you regret it but yeah i let him kiss me on the cheek um yeah yeah uh it did numbers it did numbers uh what is something you think is underrated um racially specific memes i i am on tiktok recently and um you know i told tiktok that i like persian memes and uh now i see a lot of persian memes and i really enjoy them even the bad ones um they make me feel good and sometimes i don't know even when they're bad i just like seeing other persian people is that weird no i think it's underrated how good are the memes how do they are they hidden they i mean they vary wildly um there is uh it's like but it's funny because like with tiktok
Starting point is 00:21:15 there there is such a um trend on tiktok of talking about your your uh minority race or culture or ethnicity um or talking about your nationality, uh, minority race or culture or ethnicity, um, or talking about your nationality. And maybe this is because I also follow a lot of language TikTok. Like I follow a lot of people who teach different languages on TikTok, especially languages that like, you know, I follow a guy who's like, I'm learning Nahuatl. And I'm like, okay, great. That's not something I can find on Duolingo, you know, um, cool to learn some words in Nahuatl. And all these people, like, I follow a lot of indigenous TikTok. And I don't know why, but I think that it is an algorithm thing. Are you guys on TikTok?
Starting point is 00:22:00 I had to quit. It was too much. I was ticking and a-talking. I know and i completely understand no signs of stopping you know no signs of doctor said to get off of there uh no i mean the doctor said stop talking i look more ticking uh yeah i i saw um i always like i just i just like go on the subreddits that will filter them out very specifically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I just really find myself, I'm so susceptible to time traveling through staring at a phone screen. Yeah. It's a totally overwhelming amount of content.
Starting point is 00:22:35 I'm literally doing everything I can to be like, do I have a text message or a phone call or work email? Things that I need to address. Other than that, I'm like, get the fuck away. Yeah. No, that's smart. But yes. But long but long story short no i'm not on the talk i mostly experience it through uh my wife is really into it and she's she's really into these like uh poising your husband twitter like memes right that i don't uh it's like these like those overhead cam videos they're recipes, I think,
Starting point is 00:23:06 but it's always dealing with apple seeds and a lot of apple seeds. Yeah, is that normal? That's pretty popular, right? That's a popular TikTok trend. That's like 50% of the content just across the whole platform is poisoning your husband.
Starting point is 00:23:18 It's like hashtag cottagecore, hashtag poisoning your husband. Hashtag herbal remedies. Yeah. Hashtag natural poisons. Annoying herbal remedies. Yeah. She follows his plan. Annoying husbands who don't know how to stop buying sneakers. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Herbal remedies. She follows that one. How to turn your husband's sneakers into poisons. That one TikTok account, at arsenic, I think is what it is. Keep telling Jack, I think it's arsenicic and the ad symbol is just the A. What's your favorite TikTok meme
Starting point is 00:23:53 or performer? Who's your favorite TikTok character? My favorite TikTok memes right now are the sacrifice my life for Pakistan meme which is great. To sacrifice my own life for pakistan meme which is great oh right to sacrifice my own life for pakistan is great uh and um the other tiktoker oh the other thing i really like on tiktok i'm so cheesy now i'm so fucking cheesy on social media i like every any cover of wap any
Starting point is 00:24:20 wap but make it jazz any you know wap but make it robert smith wap but make it jazz any WAP but make it Robert Smith WAP but make it whatever I'll listen to any of it it's all good the song holds up in every format I saw a 13 year old boy do WAP but make it jazz and the video TikTok is to me
Starting point is 00:24:40 at this point it's the circus we demand as the empire crumbles it is and you know i know it's taken all my data and i just don't care anymore i've lost it man i've lost control what am i gonna do you know what am i gonna do they're like they're like honestly we don't know how useful her data is anymore it's just so all over the place it's like an outlier what the government can see all the persian memes i like Okay. Right. They're like, okay, this person has fully just retreated into the warm bath of online videos. Yeah, the warm bath of like, oh, remember when your mom would be like, you know, it's like Shankla content, but for Persians.
Starting point is 00:25:18 And finally, what's a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? I guess. Okay, I'll do a sad one okay here's something um that uh a myth that i i know to be false um the myth is that um brianna's taylor's uh murderers have been um arrested and it's not true it's actually false actually nothing happened to them yes they got they got charged for shooting into another apartment. Yeah, but they're fine.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah, and even then it was like, okay, and we'll see what happens. I mean, I'm still curious what is still going on with Daniel Cameron and all of the grand jury, whatever happened there. Didn't he ask for an extra week or something to like get his shit straight before he shares yeah i mean right now there's a lot out now that shows he misled uh it was very misleading very very misleading to the point where there are even people in that grand jury who are like uh i need to like say something because this is like of public importance that people know what my experience was like. And on that grand jury.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah, I guess that's, you know, the myth is sort of like that, you know, even after we have people in Kente cloth in the Capitol. Right. Yeah, it's weird how nothing changed after that. I mean, we got a bill banning the photographs of dead bodies by first responders quicker than we had anything else like yeah i was really hoping that um lawsuit vanessa bryant sued the la sheriff's department um and that that went very quickly um yeah and i kind of wish it had lasted for a lot longer because there are a lot of other things that a citizen with time and money could sue them for right uh we keep having these protests and they keep shooting people like just all
Starting point is 00:27:09 across the state, you know? Yeah. The LA Sheriff's department is, is not backing down. They're still beating the shit out of protesters. I guess, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:17 that's, that's a myth is that the police have changed it all after the, the onslaught of, of protests for the past May. Just more aggressive. June, July, August, September. Four months now. They're like petulant toddlers with guns.
Starting point is 00:27:32 They're just like mad. It's just perpetuating and perpetuating and escalating. Hey, that's why if you're in LA, there is a reason to give a fuck about the vote because there's a lot of local shit you could vote on that will help directly with that, like Measure J.

All you need to do is sign up at katiecouric.com slash good taste. That's K-A-T-I-E
Starting point is 00:33:11 C-O-U-R-I-C dot com slash good taste. I promise your taste buds will be happy you did. and we're back and all right let's dig into the shit pile for uh one act and one act only so trump seems to be surprised that people haven't responded uh positively in the suburbs to his calls for a race war essentially for his calls or his inability to at least uh denounce white supremacy and and the proud boys yeah i'm for someone who we has said out loud he's basically gonna try and everything he can do to invalidate the results of the election i'm surprised he cares so much about polls because what the fuck does it matter if you're not gonna accept it whatever the outcome is uh so when he stopped in minnesota to just do more fucking racism uh this time to whip up fear about somali immigrants uh or ilhan omar he like got on this thing about the suburbs and like how his logic works about how he's like
Starting point is 00:34:23 well i kept poor people out but i'm getting crushed in the suburbs the fuck is wrong with y'all um and he he really is struggling to wrap his mind around it uh and again this is how uh the simple logic of a ignorant racist but you know they talk about the suburbs women in the suburbs i ended a regulation that nobody would have done this brings public housing, low-income housing into the suburbs. And by the way, just so we can get this straight, 30% of the people in the suburbs are low-income people. 30% of the people in the suburbs are minorities. Oh, that's okay. That was elegant. Do go on. Do go on. And so we're ruining this American dream for everybody,
Starting point is 00:35:08 but he's got a plan. It's the worst thing you've ever seen. Having to do with zoning. They zone you out. They build low-income housing next to your house. It's crazy. And then I hear, I'm not doing well in the suburbs. I'm not doing well in the suburbs.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Are you people crazy? Are you crazy? What? What year is this audio from? 1967? And even then, like, fucking George Wallace is like, bro, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy. He sounds like
Starting point is 00:35:38 he just took a tranquilizer, first of all. Yeah, this is the most old man shit I've ever heard. I feel like I was just walking. This is how men talk to me on the street you know yo he yeah that was somebody record this man walking down the sidewalk alone right where are you going here you tell me how like i'm not doing well you're not doing well bro it turns into weird mark wal, bro? I kept the low-income housing out of here, bro, and I'm getting killed in the suburbs, bro? Really?
Starting point is 00:36:09 But again, this is the thing. His logic was, okay, so all white women in the suburbs think black and brown people equal poor, poor equals shitty. Also, not even concerning for the fact of the possibility that many white people might also be poor. Isn't that Trump's whole supposed base? Right.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Yeah. But that's why, like, people are like, he doesn't know as humans. Well, we talked about how this like there's just an inability of Americans like to accept that they are poor. And I think that's why we have such a hard time moving forward, because we've assigned, you you know culturally and media wise there's all this like bullshit shame attached to not having money when really this is just a byproduct of you know this country that we live in uh but more prescribed by who like where you're born than like most other countries it's not 100 yeah um so yes going on to just push this narrative like well i kept them out and but here's the thing i don't white women in the suburbs i don't know if you heard me i'm keeping
Starting point is 00:37:10 poor people out and also i'm gonna say a bunch of wild racist shit why isn't this working what era have i found myself in do i need to time travel i think it's very funny that he's calling out the fact that he that the reason people voted for him was that he would keep minorities out of their white neighborhoods. And he's like, I did what I said I would do. So, yeah, you got to vote for me again. I can't believe you're not saying you're going to vote for me again. The whole thing I ran on was white supremacy and you loved it. And I did it.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Like, look. Yeah. He honestly doesn't get enough credit yeah i was just not getting enough credit for keeping his promises promises kept yeah 30 and i love how he had to translate the fucking dog whistle to full-blown american screaming. Like, it was like, 30% are low-income. I mean, let's get it straight here. 30% are not white, okay? Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:38:10 They're people of color. So he's saying, like, I will protect you from them? Is that why he brought that statistic up? Yeah, because that's the whole thing, is just sort of like, you know, if people are not white and move into your suburb, then therefore, danger robinson so uh but that's where they're they're just that's why so many people in the campaign like dude we tried
Starting point is 00:38:32 trying to do other like more nuanced racist shit but he just loves this one he likes to drink the cold brew concentrate straight up we can't get him to stop he He, so, I mean, that post debate, it seems like his numbers have gone down and he needed like a, a big change cut. Like after the debate, they haven't gone like way down, but they've gone slightly down. And his approval rating is the highest since may now.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I know that's confusing to me. Um, but I just, people are pointing out that the, the worse his polls get the more likely we are going to see something uh extra judicial extra uh you know more than we are like more yeah more than we are like he's gonna follow through on this shit that we know like we know what's going to happen right like yeah he's anybody it's like the easiest person to play like one-on-one with he's like i'm gonna go right
Starting point is 00:39:31 i'm gonna go right and i'm gonna pump fake and then if you don't go for that i may try a fade away ready on three one two three going right fade away here's the pump fake nope fade away you blocked it damn it uh but like fucking everybody else like the media is like yo this trump guy sucks this guy's out of control like where the fuck have y'all been it just shows these people are too insulated they don't know enough people who are experiencing the pain and horror of what this administration is inflicting on people and they're like i i don't know it doesn't't get to me at my five-star restaurants I eat at every night.
Starting point is 00:40:08 It's weird. He's losing by more at this point than anyone since Bob Dole in the 96 election, according to FiveThirtyEight, and a blended average of polls. But there's just no way he he accepts defeat there's clips of him saying like the only way i lose is if it's rigged where he's like would need a massive like drastic something he's like the bond villain who like traps bond and has him over a shark tank and
Starting point is 00:40:42 then he's like instead of just dropping him into the shark tank he's lays out his whole plan right and you're like why would you just why would you tell him the whole plan he's told he's telling us his whole plan right now but he's telling his he's telling his followers i think to get ready because like i think that's where... Barr is also doing it. He's telling Fox News to get ready to ramp up the election fraud story manufacturing machine. William Barr has said that in interviews, that election fraud is something that they're going to have to deal with trump has said like the only way he loses if it's rigged um there's just no version of reality where they accept an election loss yes there is we've got to watch the secret man we just envision it that's what it seems like the and that's what worries me that's what like there there's kind of this feeling i refuse to strongly envision biden in
Starting point is 00:41:45 any way in my mind i will not picture his face and you cannot force me to i will not look at his picture either outside or inside my mind's eye oh i look at it every night on my pillow yeah and i have a little i have it tucked into the corner of my mirror miles stop it no i don't like his face come on i don't like it give it a little finger kiss and then uh just have sweet dreams but no people are yeah people acting like it the shit can't go all the way left like yeah it's every every that we've only seen it happen every time it's like the same pattern every time every time every time yeah the the fact that people were surprised by the debate the fact that he interrupts was just like anyone surprised by the debate
Starting point is 00:42:28 the they the mainstream media acted like they were surprised uh chris wallace who was supposed to be moderating the debate acted like he was when you cut to cnn they're like well i can't believe what just what we just witnessed and it's just like these are the people the mainstream media clips of him than anyone the mainstream media and the mainstream democrats are going to be the people who are the resistance when he tries to you know take over the election and like just uh you know take over the country uh basically destroy democracy in the country. The resistance is going to be Nancy Pelosi and Wolf Blitzer, and that is a terrifying thing.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Well, you know, where are you placing your bets? Yeah. It's just an over-reliance on norms and decorum and shit like that that they see time and again. Because even then, it's like, well, certainly he's going to pull it together for the debate. I'm like, oh, he didn't. What? Well, certainly he won't reject the outcome of it.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I mean, who would do that except some craven racist asshole who has the most dire fear of prosecution when they leave office? Oh, my God. god and he wouldn't you know wouldn't you know uh and i think that's the thing it's like that's where you realize that for that's a luxury to even rely on norms in situations like this to have that even be your escapism into norms or decorum or these like the status quo just reveals that sort of thought like the i guess mental privilege that you have in terms of like how your imagination doesn't even occur that your your fucking entire shit could get crushed uh by some asshole new like an entirely new kind of
Starting point is 00:44:17 administration that has does not give a fuck about anything that you used to uh just to be like yeah i mean it's certainly that one this imaginary wall will hold up like the all of the dictators who like run other countries know like he's the easiest person to predict in the history of powerful human beings in the history of the world like he you know exactly what he's going to do every single time like i'm going right i'm a public i'm going right like he tells you what he's going to do then he does it uh kim jong-un was able to manipulate him into not giving a fuck about their nuclear program just by being like our friendship is like a hollywood romance uh our next meeting will be like a fantasy film.
Starting point is 00:45:05 These new secret letters have been revealed. And that is, like all it takes is affection and flattery. Well, remember that weird action movie that he made with Kim Jong-un? Yeah. It was like a little action. That trailer?
Starting point is 00:45:19 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. This all tracks. The only people who seem to be surprised by him every time are the mainstream media and the mainstream democrats and that's going to be bad
Starting point is 00:45:32 just write him a letter I mean this is the thing American fathers American exceptionalism American American exceptionalism American American exceptionalism American Yeah, yeah. I feel like that's what... Don't worry, don't worry.
Starting point is 00:45:45 It can't happen here. But we do it to everyone else. That's our thing. All we can do is do it to everyone else. It could never happen here. Right. Fuck. But even then, I don't think people can put it together at that point.
Starting point is 00:46:00 It's like... They are hedging their bets with where they're putting uh advertising revenue though oh yeah that's the thing that's the one benefit of all of this is apparently just for the advertising sector because it's truly the like nbc and fox are saying that they've just been like the demand for ad space following election night is just like going up and up and up and up because there's no fucking sports and advertisers are coming all over themselves this is the most stimulation they've had all year it's it's and it's really like it's so dark right because when you think about how much money is flowing right like abc is charging like around 375 grand for a 30 a 30-second spot during these upcoming debates.
Starting point is 00:46:47 If you just want 30 seconds, we got to talk $375,000 to even get the conversation going. And as all of this is happening, the ad people, the way they're even talking, there's someone who works at this ad agency, 360i, saying, quote, with with election coverage you're going to be reaching people who are previously harder to reach on tv you're going to be reaching people who are community and civic oriented that's attractive to advertisers they're talking about like the whole shit coming apart on tv and they're like okay so this is this is the kind of demographic you can get in with uh maybe we can sell a lot of swiffer dusters to these people uh because you know they're watching uh this whole fucked up thing this dusty ass democracy get blown apart it's it look there's money i mean look if you knew 9-11 was happening you would have bought up the ad
Starting point is 00:47:36 because people were glued to their tv and you have a captive audience what's better than a captive audience for selling homeware do you think n is going to have an ad made already? If companies are going to have ads pre-made? They absolutely do now. You know what I mean? Right now, where they're like, that was quick. And I don't know what Lysol's role is in the revolution, but okay. You will, Miles.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Thank you, SC Johnson. You will know. Yeah, exactly. America. American. American exceptional. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, I just remembered. Yeah, it's a weird time.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Yeah. All right, guys. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and do a little brain bleach i've been thinking about 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.

Starting point is 00:52:34 And we're back. Jack, just get the unibrow. Do the unibrow. You got to do it. Yes, we're talking eyebrow maintenance. Sarjun is having, unfortunately, you guys aren't able to share in it, but she is having one of the all-time great hair podcasts I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Her hair looks amazing. And she said she cut it herself. We'll have to verify that. Yeah, I don't believe it. I have a permit from the county to cut my hair. Oh, good. Yeah. You do need more training to do that than to carry a gun for the LAPD.
Starting point is 00:53:10 That's very true. Yeah. But I was saying that I'm going to try to cut my own eyebrows, and I don't know. I don't feel good about it. I don't think you should. I think you should let them grow. Let them grow till your ears hang low. Till they wobble to and fro.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Yeah, yeah. Till they connect to my hair. Till you can tie them in a knot and tie them in a bow. Yeah. I'm going to try the eyebrow comb over where it just goes up into my hair and I use it. Oh, that. A combo. Fucking flex.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Yeah. Do you use any product on the brows to keep them from drooping into your eyelashes? I don't. Just Elmer's glue, right? You said? Little candle wax and Elmer's glue. Yeah. Yeah, your wife gave me some stuff for you to put on your eyebrows.
Starting point is 00:53:59 It smelled kind of weird, but she said it was for you to put on your skin. It burst a bunch of blood vessels in my eyes when I sniffed it, but I used to try it out. Give it a shot. Give it a shot. All right. Let's do a little brain bleach. We have an official ruling from Ireland, and it turns out that subway bread is not bread i didn't know this was up for debate let alone yeah it is okay and i was surprised too you know sodium and sugar are
Starting point is 00:54:39 those ingredients that have massive effects on our health we've all seen we've all read the studies recently we're all willing it's willing to accept that you probably don't want to go od on the that have massive effects on our health. We've all read the studies recently. We're all willing to accept that you probably don't want to go OD on the sodium and the sugar. And I definitely have become more aware of this as my body turns more and more into an old, decrepit skeleton. Is that what OD stands for? Old, decrepit?
Starting point is 00:55:01 Old, decrepit, yes. Before I OD skeleton the uh the amount of things like sugar also can like affect how things are categorized so subway they were fucking they're pushing the limits on the amount of sugar in their bread that like the like a fucking like the supreme court of ireland was like hold on hold on hold on hold on you're trying to be exempt from like a vat like a value-added tax because you're saying this is a staple food. Your bread is a staple food. Okay, well, let's do a quick breakdown really quick.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Let's see how much sodium and sugar is in here if we're going to call this a staple food. Turns out there is so much fucking sugar in it that it cannot be considered a staple food. It, in fact, has five times as much sugar as permitted by Ireland-specific VAT tax code act from the 70s. So they're saying, no, this shit is actually a pastry, fam. This is not bread. These are pastries that you're putting tuna on. This, to me, sounds like the age-old, the hot-button Southern issue, which is, can you put sugar in a biscuit? Or, if you do put sugar in a biscuit does that make it
Starting point is 00:56:05 technically cake i don't know that southern that makes some some people get really pissed if you put sugar in a biscuit recipe even just a tablespoon because oh in the biscuit oh got it got it i thought you meant like someone's like sugar like they got the baked biscuit they're like you know what i like to do get a little old butter and sugar on here oh i mean that's that's the classic that was my sandwich growing up butter yeah yeah who did it yeah that was a very special treat oh or uh what is that domino cinnamon sugar but you can just mix up both no i just that was that was dessert was like anyway if i got a butter and sugar sandwich i would eat that now maybe i'll do it i'm an adult i can do whatever i want so if you put a little bit of sugar in your dough your biscuit dough recipe people will come at you and be like no you just made a cake yeah some people are like
Starting point is 00:56:53 weirdly not i guess not pedantic but you know a little pedantic about it where they're like if you put sugar in it then it's a cake it's just a small cake it's a cupcake it's not a biscuit a real biscuit you know it's like right it's like you ask an italian how to make a red sauce and it's like well someone's gonna tell you there's a real way you know right right right and is there i don't fucking know oh there is a real way to make a sauce but it depends on the region of italy that you're trying to make a sauce a true bolognese well i would just like to say a true Bolognese doesn't typically use as much tomato as one would think. In Bologna, they don't use as much tomato. In Bologna?
Starting point is 00:57:31 Yeah. So anyway, I digress. Where was I? But it's weird because before, Subway used to have yoga mat bread. Now they have pastry bread. I just, they can't get it right with their fucking bread. They should just try using bread have they tried bread instead of
Starting point is 00:57:48 donuts and yoga mats Jack you don't understand bread is a living product that deteriorates very quickly and what Subway does is they make sandwiches and sandwich products
Starting point is 00:58:04 that sit around all day in open air, which is also how things deteriorate. That's why their chicken looks like not a chicken. You know what I mean? Their chicken is a yoga mat. The chicken stuff looks like not a chicken. It's a yoga mat. Yes, you're right. It's the old sponges that they use to clean.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Once they're done using it for that, they just cut it up into chicken strips. Yeah, I think it's vegan. I think Subway's chicken is vegan. If it's not, they're missing an opportunity because it might as well be. And then you can market it on that. There's no meat properties. The chicken was they tried to sue somebody, right? Because they said it was less than 50% chicken.
Starting point is 00:58:47 And they're like, no. And they sued and lost. It was like the salami. I don't know if you guys talked about this Danny Palumbo. I know you had him on recently. Yeah, we did. But I don't know. I don't think we talked about him.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Because he used to talk about this on stage. And so I remember it very well. Something like the ham at Subway is like 60% turkey. And so in Europe, they wouldn't let them label it as ham because it's a combination meat product. And all their salami, all their charcuterie basically is mostly not pork. So they have trouble legally calling it pork.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Honey, I've brought home some charcuterie from Subway. mostly not pork. So they have trouble legally calling it pork. Honey, I've brought home some charcuterie from Subway. Let me lay it out for you. This is going to be a fine spread we're having this evening. This is a- What board do you put that charcuterie board on? Is it just cardboard? Cardboard, yeah, exactly. Is that the only appropriate use?
Starting point is 00:59:42 You put that shit on a hefty bag. Yeah, that's upsetting. Like a construction. That's what it is. A construction, black construction trash bag. You put your Subway charcuterie board for that one. I remember learning about the tea, about all the meat being turkey from this person. I was working on a campaign with like fucking years ago.
Starting point is 01:00:02 And she would be like, you know, we stopped. You know, like when you're like doing shit, you got to get quick lunch i'm like oh let me get let's pull over here i want to get this subway real quick and she's like i'm gonna go next door i can't eat so i was like all right that's that's fine and she's like but if you want to go ahead but honestly i wouldn't and i was like all right asshole do you want to tell me something or you just want to be mad passive-aggressive about it right Right. And so she did her thing. I got my motherfucking tuna because you know what the fuck I do. And I will never be stopped.
Starting point is 01:00:29 I don't care if that tuna is fucking 30% rat. I'm eating that shit. So I come out. I'm eating it. And she's like, what'd you get? I'm like, tuna. And she's like, oh, okay. And I was like, and?
Starting point is 01:00:40 And she's like, well, yeah. A lot of people get the turkey or whatever. And she's like, you know, the thing is, everything is is made of turkey did she look over her shoulder before yeah she did like she fucking did like she was like like it was uh what like dodson in jurassic park when he's right up with the dna he's like we got dots in here nobody cares i'm like see nobody gives a fuck if it's turkey but she's like staring out the window at you like speaking into a mic and i was like why are you being all wild shady about it she's like because you know um like my my family we own two quiznos franchises so that's how we know and i was like okay quiznos propaganda man that's when i was like what don't share this with our listeners
Starting point is 01:01:19 even if it's true though my bottom line was like i I don't care. I don't go there because I think I'm eating the real thing. I go there because I want a tuna-like substance in between a pastry bread. Yeah, I want a lettuce and cream cheese sandwich. That's what I go in there for and that's what I get. Yeah, that is basically what we're working on. I've yet to buy the, you know, because I'm pretty sure subways are still kind of using their stores as like markets that i need to buy like the the actual commercial size thing of tuna that they use so i can have my own vat of subway tuna at my house and completely just destroy my insides subways sell i didn't even know they were doing that the oh yeah you could buy like a fucking
Starting point is 01:02:01 20 like a oh that's right i'm joking like eight-pound bag of bacon for like 25 bucks or something. That's right. That's right. And to get... You get better value other places, but you know. Yeah. It will be the equivalent of buying a pack of bacon at the grocery store in terms of the bacon content, but...
Starting point is 01:02:19 Yeah, it's mostly crock. It's mostly sawdust. Not crocodile, the shoe. The shoe crock. Okay. It's mostly crock. It's mostly sawdust. Not crocodile, the shoe. The shoe crock.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Right. I have to say, I find it really upsetting that the bread product market is being destroyed by Ireland's strict regulations that they're hemming in the market like this. It's really insulting to those of us who love um the capitalist free market and yeah want humans to like reach their full potential by selling bread with a lot of sugar in it to poor people but also a shout out to the supreme court of ireland where you know they're they're deciding on the real shit you know it's pronounced cart cart oh yes it's pronounced the supreme thank you and this has been our time
Starting point is 01:03:06 uh let's talk borat uh the new trailer is out yes did you see that trailer i did see the trailer and i'm very happy i support this uh what is this? It's so stupid. It's very stupid. I'm glad that there's so little Trump in there because it's just such stupid shit. Just such stupid old school. Absolute nonsense. I'm ready.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Ali G on HBO style. Just dumb, dumb jokes. Yeah, I'm ready. The trailer involves a new character now uh his daughter apparently and this person is also filled with all kinds of antics uh the it there's just so many of his you know the thing he does best is just hold a mirror up to uh american culture and and just certain parts of the country and i don't know in a way i was like oh fuck like especially when they like there was that section on coronavirus and like
Starting point is 01:04:11 they were kind of just setting off lysol in the air and also like you could tell everyone was kind of confused about coronavirus and he's like do i smash it with pants like no but i guess if you think there's some virus do a a little Lysol over there. And it was just kind of like, oh, yes. And maybe, yes, Democrats are more deadly than the pandemic. A lot of things you would expect to hear when Borat interviews, you know. Was it too soon for you, Miles? I don't know what the fuck it is. I'm curious to know, like, what's going to happen, like, my physical experience watching it.
Starting point is 01:04:46 If I'm just like, oh, fuck. This one's too real. You're just going to throw up or something. Yeah, like, I'm throwing up my sandwich, my Subway pastry. I can't watch it anymore. But I don't know. But I think, like anything, he always manages to have just really
Starting point is 01:05:01 just cutting commentary through a lot of these segments that I feel like I've already seen the ugliest parts. But who knows? to have just like really just cutting commentary through a lot of these segments that i'm i feel like i've already seen the ugliest parts but who knows yeah let's let's let's get ugly like bubba sparks i mean one of the things i have here for brain bleach is a sign someone took a picture of a sign in a uh university of alabama elevator that says do not click buttons with genitalia. Cameras are watching. That fucking rocks. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:05:32 The internet has already showed us so much of what America is made of, but he is a genius, so I'm looking forward to it. USA forever, baby. USA. Go USA forever. Go USA number one, USA. Go USA forever. Go USA number one, honestly. Go USA forever. Hey, USA forever, bro.
Starting point is 01:05:50 And honestly, dog. USA forever, bro. Hey, bro, when that fool came through to Mike Pence as Trump, bro. Oh, y'all got to watch out for this barat, dude. I've been watching. Here's a cool thing about TikTok. There's prison TikTok. I don't know how they're doing it but they're doing it there's tree sitters at tiktok i don't know how they're doing it but they do but if you have a phone you can make it and it's like
Starting point is 01:06:16 somehow it's easier than tweeting right it's it's weird man yeah the any video content out of jail is always interesting. That's good content. That's what the internet's for. And those people truly don't give a fuck. You know what I mean? Yeah, those accounts get taken down like that. They don't care.
Starting point is 01:06:33 You don't want to get caught with a phone. It's like 4chan, but without all of the racism. But real life. Yeah. If you do TikTok're talking you can find a bunch of really weird shit and it's like 4chan except there is a heavy sensor but like the community yeah my friend's video got like taken down because she had like too many hamburgers on herself like she was like rubbing a hamburger like she wasn't even yeah that's like too sexual or
Starting point is 01:07:02 something but she had like she smeared a burger on her stomach, and they're like, yo, no, no, no burger smearing around here. This is TikTok. Go to burgersmear.com if you want that kind of filth. When I was in high school, I- She's an artist, and she was doing a video. She had this burger. She took a bite.
Starting point is 01:07:20 I'm not confused by why she did it. That shit's dope. Okay, thank you. Why did they object to it too sexy okay all right you know what i mean yeah this is i mean look whatever the mods they do whatever they got to do maybe that person just is really into burger meat i don't know if you're a mod for tiktok you know email me i really want to know what that's like because i know facebook has them they just have real life fucking content
Starting point is 01:07:46 moderators. Yeah, who are going through worst times of their life doing it as a job. Yeah, like everybody that I know that's done that quit after a year because it's so traumatizing to just look at pictures of reported posts all day. I mean,
Starting point is 01:08:01 you all know how traumatizing the internet is now and it's partially censored. Right, exactly. And and at that point we have an option to look away but now it's like oh my gig is to look it in its dark ass eyes and feel like give it everything you've got internet um yeah yeah yeah i think a lot of people assume that that shit's happening algorithmically. And it is when you read stories about the people who are in the, in the content approval minds, just going through that shit. It is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:34 We're just, just offloading the darkest human experiences onto underpaid people. Um, all right. Well on that, uh, Sarajun, like a morning coffee, I like to end on a bright note. Yes.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Sarajun, it's been a pleasure having you. As always, where can people find you and follow you? You can follow my comedy show, High Priestess Comedy, on Instagram at highpriestesscomedy.. You can go to my website, which is HeySarJune.com. That's where I put my stuff. Nice.

Starting point is 01:09:20 so you can find me on Letterboxd if you're on Letterboxd. I don't leave reviews, though. I just mark what movies I've seen, so i don't think i'm a very good follow um what's the latest movie you oh uh the latest movie i watched um uh it was velvet goldmine it was velvet goldmine but um before that i i watched um uh confessions of a dangerous mind again which was not as good in a rewatch as i remembered it being, but still pretty good. But I hadn't seen that movie for like 15 years. And that is the one with Michelle Pfeiffer.
Starting point is 01:09:53 I love that movie. No. It's one of my favorites. Yeah, Michelle Pfeiffer, teacher, teaches the youth. Yeah. Sam Rockwell. Love it. Sam Rockwell dances and wears suits.
Starting point is 01:10:03 I know a lot of people. Sam Rockwell shoots guns. No, thatwell dances and wears suits. I know a lot of people. Sam Rockwell shoots guns. No, that's Coolio. Julia Roberts says some things. It's fine. Coolio Roberts. Drew Barrymore's there. Coolio Roberts.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Coolio Roberts. Fuck out of here. So dumb. I apologize to our listeners and you, Sergio. You disgust. Jack, I'm going to email your wife back. Sergio you disgust Jack make that mashup make that mashup please confessions of a dangerous mind
Starting point is 01:10:32 is a super underrated movie I feel like it is very underrated nobody saw it when it came out and it's directed by George Clooney which is kind of weird and it's kind of like a flashy showy direction but he does like a of weird, and it's kind of like a flashy, showy direction, but he does a pretty good job, and it's a dope script.
Starting point is 01:10:48 I like the direction a lot. I like the camera work in that movie a lot. It's a Kaufman script. It's a Kaufman script. Oh, I haven't seen the new Kaufman yet, the Netflix one. Yeah, I haven't either. It looks dark. It looks like a tough watch, but probably worth watching.
Starting point is 01:11:05 These are pretty dark right now. I think the last time I had the emotional bandwidth to watch a Charlie Kaufman movie was Synecdoche, New York. Yeah. After that, I was like, I'm tapped out, dude. I have to get on pills now. It spins your head off so hard. You're like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Am I happy or sad or confused? Thanks. Yeah. Thanks. I'm also crying. Miles, we need to figure out what we're re-watching i think we already discussed before we hit record oh wow we've skipped right over that yeah yeah um so i'm gonna watch cobra kai i mean i've already watched it but we're we're gonna give up on both watching it the same week uh yeah it's so hard with our schedules right now yes yes and
Starting point is 01:11:43 all the other things we have our tv and film and also you have a movie that i think the world uh certainly the film community is begging you to watch uh yes i am going to spend money and then immediately hit jack with a vemo request uh to watch the secret dare to dream uh the fucking katie holmes film that is based on the self-help book the secret um i mean i've not read the secret book uh but this you're missing out it's like it's probably misleading people in like the worst way just just so you know the synopsis or the just the logline for this. Miranda Wells is a hardworking young widow who's struggling to raise three children on her own.
Starting point is 01:12:30 A powerful storm soon brings a devastating challenge and a mysterious man, Bray Johnson, into her life. In just a few short days, Bray's presence reignites the family's spirit. But he carries a secret that could change everything. That doesn't sound at all remotely similar to the book, The Secret, where it's just the secret is the thing you imagine and your imagination will come true. Yeah, I mean, Law of Attraction, you know, if you want to manifest that, you got to put that out there.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Don't put those limiting beliefs out there. You know what I mean? Okay, your husband's dead. Okay, let's try and work on that uh law of attraction let's bring him back from the dead uh john snow style we'll see if it works i'm hoping that's what the secret is i got to do behind the bastards a while ago and we talked about napoleon hill who uh wrote one of the earliest self-help books that is you know basically the basis for the secret and all this cult of positive thinking stuff and uh you know i i i
Starting point is 01:13:26 think he's um you know the real thing i think he's the real deal guys uh what i learned on behind the bastards is that was a good guy who was smart napoleon oh yeah yeah yeah that's what i love about that show with robert evans behind the bastards is he's always highlighting just the do-gooders of society that yeah the do-gooders of society. Yeah, the do-gooders. Yeah, the noble people of our country. Because behind the bastards are the noble people. And those are the people that we're looking at. That are the down-to-the-none and crushed. They're standing right behind them. So yeah, if you want to completely disrespect yourself for $5.99,
