Starting point is 00:05:23 What was it like? What was he good as a boss? Pretty chill? He sent us a really long email the second day that I worked there, and everybody ignored it, and that's when I knew it was a good place to work. How many times did he mention El Chapo? When I was...
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yeah. When I was with Chapo. Constantly. Constantly. Whoa, what? For real, though, I did see him walking around, and he would have a pack of American Spirits sticking out of his pocket. I was like, this guy keeps it real. Yeah. And he wants you to know it.
Starting point is 00:05:51 He does. And I saw it, and I knew it. Unforgivable, that Kid Rock video. Unfortunately. Oh, where they come to that meeting of the minds. Where they come together, yeah. Was that like 2016? Was that in the lead up to the the election or right after the inauguration?
Starting point is 00:06:08 I thought it was 2012. Oh, yeah. So they presaged this. Good for them. They knew that America was bad. They knew that we'd be able to come together just over some drinks in Malibu. Who knew that a couple multi-multi-millionaires could come together. It's a truly wonderful thing.

Starting point is 00:06:59 No, Miles. There's five different hens that lay the McDonald's eggs. Yes, this is what I mean. And each one lays a different kind of egg, and these are the ur-hens. And they live in Alabama. So what's the difference between different hens that lay the McDonald's eggs. And each one lays a different kind of egg. And these are the ur hens. And they live in Alabama. So what's the difference between the hens? They live in Alabama. And they just lay them directly into pneumatic tubes.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And they just go shoot out all to the different. Five birds. One of them is baby hen. Sporty hen. Sugar hen. Ginger hen. And scary hen. McMuffin hen. McMuffin hen, yeah. Did you hen, ginger hen, and scary hen. And McMuffin hen.

Starting point is 00:08:48 And we'll talk about Gwyneth Paltrow's exploding vagina candles trademark. All of that, plenty more. But first, Sarge, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I am, as usual, Googling rich people who own land in California. And so I was reading a little bit about Arabella Huntington, one of the former richest women in California, along with my other favorite former richest woman in California, Sarah Winchester, owner and designer of Winchester Mystery House. I mean, these women,
Starting point is 00:09:24 they had no jobs and they had all their dead husband's money. So, you know, they made enormous houses with stairs that go to nowhere. Or if you're Arabella, you just like collect art and jewelry and insist on a huge garden that then becomes a public thing after you die. Yeah, that's kind of I love the huntington gardens yeah it's really cool i'm like thank you wealthy person for allowing this place to be a a park i gotta pay 30 bucks to get into but it is yeah it is really nice to go it kind of it works out well it's so nice to go there and then you realize that this whole thing was once just like one rich family's home yeah
Starting point is 00:10:05 feels good it feels good that you're there feels like a trespassing even though you paid 30 yeah you're like wait this whole asia section with the chinese pavilion and japanese tea this is some motherfuckers backyard from 70 years ago you're like there's like hundreds of people on the grounds and everybody is so far apart everybody's taking pictures and it's like wow this really used to be like one rich lady's yard right what did the where'd the huntington dough come from what do you mean the huntington the huntingtons yeah like what's their what the families yeah where'd the wealth come from uh railroads railroads and uh collis collis huntington was a one of those guys who came over was like wow there's a lot of money to be made uh laying rail and blowing up mountains
Starting point is 00:10:50 and i'm about to make it so yeah he's a railroad guy simpler times uh yeah yeah now we gotta go viral on tiktok with a cool dance or something cancel culture ruined everything uh you used to be able to just go go to a place that wasn't a state yet and just chip away at all of their rocks and find the shiny bits and take them and leave yeah and be like who are these who are these other people that are here i don't know ignore them just kind of force them out with weapons or something yeah it doesn't matter but uh you know now now what do we get miles mr potato head is gone yeah right truly direct line direct line direct line wait slippery slope where vanderbilt's also the railroad like was everybody railroad was railroad just the
Starting point is 00:11:35 like basically the social media platform of the day yes uh shipping and railroads was also yeah vanderbilt the original the the first rich Vanderbilt was a shipping and railroad guy. And Hearst. Yeah. All those. Hearst was newspaper. Publishing. Yeah. Hearst didn't really make much money in railroads. I thought that was just one of the things. I thought it was
Starting point is 00:11:58 like the media arm. He was smart. Yeah, maybe. So overwhelming because he's got a castle. People got Have you been to Huntington Gardens though, Jack? Is that different from Pasadena? Yeah, yeah. I have been there for the light show.
Starting point is 00:12:14 No, that was that parking lot rave I told you to meet me at. There's like a mausoleum and a library and there's like a lot of Huntington things. Yeah, yeah. yeah sorry I'm now looking up George Hearst American businessman and miner
Starting point is 00:12:29 uh and oh but I think he was William Randolph Hest no yeah his his dad was a miner his dad was a gold guy yeah yeah he was born in a locked cabin it's all earth fucking no matter what yeah at a certain point it's like yeah
Starting point is 00:12:47 i fucked the earth and okay whether i blew mountains up or took a bunch of minerals and shit that's what i was yeah is descanso gardens different it is it's another different garden like la canada flintridge no no that's that's also in Pasadena. Yeah. Is it, technically? Yep. Oh, shit. Because it's in that very odd border section of the county. No, it's La Cunada, Flintridge. They call it...
Starting point is 00:13:15 Is it? Yeah. Descanso's very nice, but it's a lot smaller than the Huntington. Yeah. It feels like if the Huntingtons were on welfare, they would have made this castle gardens. So I've been to the broke ass version of the Huntington. I've been to the cheap Huntington. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Yeah. Kroger brand Huntington Gardens. Kirkland signature Huntington Gardens. That's right. What is something you think is overrated? I have been I've been watching Grey's Anatomy for the first time. It's not overrated. That's not what I'm saying. Do not jump
Starting point is 00:13:50 on me, men. It's good. It's very good. Grey's Anatomy's favorite. Number one fan base. Number one enemy. Although they would be the ones who would be like, what are you talking about? Name three storylines. name three storylines name three guys that died right so i'm on i'm now on season five of gray's anatomy
Starting point is 00:14:13 if anybody is there please don't spoil it for me but my favorite character just joined the army and that's overrated you guys that's it that's all that's going on in my life my favorite character on gray's anatomy joined the army i have nothing else going on in my life my favorite character on grace anatomy joined the army i have nothing else going on and what you're just not cool looking motherfucker i'm like it's what year is it when this came it was like 2008 i mean what a time to have your character join the army and do all these episodes where you're like it's good to join the army right what was the point of this is a character a doctor joining yeah he's joining the army to be a doctor in the army isn't that like 2010 because he was so because he was so compelled to be but it was like oh you wanted to offer his services to the military? In season five, there's a new character
Starting point is 00:15:06 who's like, I was a trauma surgeon in the military and then everybody in my platoon died and they sent me back. So now I work in Seattle and then he makes it sound good or something. They have to do a crossover with the guy who plays Matt Saracen on Friday Night Lights. They have a lot of Friday Night Lights actors show up
Starting point is 00:15:22 on Grey's Anatomy, which is interesting. It's sort of like the old Hollywood studio thing where they would just be like, you're my actor. I put you in every show. So they just have Coach Taylor shows up to special guests on Grey's Anatomy at some point. It's awesome. There's even an audience track that's like,
Starting point is 00:15:37 Woo! There's cheerleaders sometimes in the OR. It's weird. Did somebody say full hearts? no I really have heart failure I have full heart I'm having heart failure please my heart is full
Starting point is 00:15:56 my heart is full of plaque can't pump can't pump can't pump sorry clear eyes full hearts can't pump. Can't pump. Full hearts can't pump. Can't pump, sorry. Clear eyes, full hearts can't pump. Cool, yeah. Cool skin because I'm dying. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:12 It's upsetting to me. I don't know if he's really going to go or maybe they'll bring him back. But you know what? It's overrated, dude. I don't like when characters on TV... They're doctors. They're supposed to be
Starting point is 00:16:25 doctors in america you know sure do you see what i mean does anybody else feel betrayed i feel betrayed it's very 2010 though that it was very 2010 that that was seen as like the cool thing because like it was early obama people were like you know the we did it things are good you know we did it we did it two years two years into a huge recession we were like let's send more doctors yeah around the world i feel like it was like america like mainstream american culture was a bunch of like west wing fans who were just like yes i love that West Wing hate is becoming mainstream now. Yeah. But so that was how they wrote them off the show.
Starting point is 00:17:11 They were just like, I don't know. I haven't gotten to join the army. I think so. It feels like old school. I can't really ship them out. Sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I'm shipping off. I'm going to go be a coffee farmer in Indonesia. That's how I would write you off this show. Yeah. Yeah. Miles left the show. He had to go farm coffee in Indonesia. He's out.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah, he's out. Sorry, guys. You know, that was always his dream. That was always his dream. We established that early on. And guys, don't read the stuff on Twitter where he's saying there's some kind of contract dispute. That has nothing to do with it. The character Miles from this show
Starting point is 00:17:47 loved to grow coffee, and that's where he went. That's right. I don't know. I guess his Instagram shows he's still in LA and he's ranting. I don't know. But in our hearts, he's in Indonesia. In our hearts, in my story, in my fanfic, Miles is in Indonesia right now. What is something you think is
Starting point is 00:18:03 underrated? I think it's underrated, and this is again Grey's Anatomy related,. What is something you think is underrated? I think it's underrated, and this is again Grey's Anatomy related, and that is all you will be getting from me today is Grey's Anatomy content. So I hope you like it. It is underrated that I really like that
Starting point is 00:18:17 men have to be hot now. That's nice that that standard has now been applied to all genders. It's just that everybody has to be hot because it used to be that if you were watching a movie and they introduced a guy, you couldn't tell if he was supposed to be hot until you heard the music cue or saw the main character's reaction. Because a lot of the time they would present you with like a really average looking guy. Right. Not an ugly guy. Just a regular looking guy. Some an ugly guy just a regular looking
Starting point is 00:18:45 guy uncle yeah but then the characters would be like oh he's fine or whatever you know and you'd have to see that to know because they were just like yeah we can't find any hot guys we just don't know where to find them or the now or the white guy who like the white cis heterosexual guy who like was directing the movie just like didn't give a shit i was like that guy's probably hot right yeah this guy's fine or the director's like the guy can't be hotter than me because i want to think i can fuck these people in my mind right yeah like also like where would we be without this move? Someone lowering their glasses? Yeah, we'd be nowhere. To be like, excuse him? That's practically a letter.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Mom had some sunglasses, just pulled some shades from the ether. I've got all kinds of props around here. We can do a terrible improv scene. Mustaches. Wait, now he has giant scissors? What are you doing with those giant scissors? Cut it out, Jack. I felt like on Sex and the City, though, too,
Starting point is 00:19:47 that's when I would always see like normcore ass dudes and they're like, oh, fuck. And I'm like, what, can he have a suit and he's a lawyer? What the fuck are y'all talking about? But it took their reaction for me to say like, oh, that's what's hot. For you to understand what's supposed to be hot. Actually, now that you say that,
Starting point is 00:20:04 I think about the confusion that overcame me as like a pubescent boy being like this is what they're feeling like this is what's hot i'm like oh i'm in trouble then because i'm not i don't look like some fucking little league coach well sometimes i would see that and I would be like, am I hot? I'm hotter than that guy. I don't think I'm hot, but if that's the standard, but there is a completely different standard for girls and guys. Now we have YouTube beauty tutorials. Nobody
Starting point is 00:20:37 has an excuse to not know what to put on their face. Nobody has an excuse. How to alter your face with paints, how to moisturize your skin, how to dress. All this information is on the internet now. And it's also thanks to a lot of people working very hard, there's more people
Starting point is 00:20:54 of color on TV, so you don't just have to go with the best looking white guy. Now you can go with the best looking any race guy, which really widens your field to the hottest of the hot yeah yeah i mean reggae jean from uh fucking what's the bridgerton bridgerton i remember getting a fight with her majesty i was like yo like you think i could be i could be in a show like him and she's like hell
Starting point is 00:21:19 no i was like thank you for keeping it 100, though. I get it. He's beautiful. Anna is yelling in the chat to be hornier when we talk about him. I am horny. This is the most specific note we've ever gotten from Anna as our producer. Be hornier. Anna is consistent with this one.
Starting point is 00:21:41 She's like, if we're talking reggae, John, get the horniness up. Right. Hold on. I'm going to my zoom recorder and turning up the horny dial difficult to identify with when you're talking about him and just not not being horny look you're either gonna get horny you're gonna get down on yourself i i turned off my sploosh mic so you can't hear yeah yeah what's going on that's right the sploosh mic that we do usually ask that uh all guests have a sploosh mic yeah you know just it's a lob it's a lob it's a label of it's a lot of clips in my like omni mics of these in nfl games on the sidelines focused sound no matter what it's just a mic i shove up there and uh it's channel two but uh i turned it
Starting point is 00:22:27 down i turned it way down brought my production people out there all right let's take a quick break and we will 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.
Starting point is 00:23:19 The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. or wherever you get your podcasts. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified.
Starting point is 00:24:05 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?
Starting point is 00:24:21 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence
Starting point is 00:24:38 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels,
Starting point is 00:24:56 into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of... It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Why would we want to be the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit
Starting point is 00:25:38 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey
Starting point is 00:26:21 that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And also I just want to say that like as bad as it was in the 90s and early aughts go back and watch commercials from like the 70s of the sorts of dudes who would appear because it was just like dad core like mustaches and like it was so dominated by
Starting point is 00:27:10 like just dads like dad going to the gym was really niche you know dad bod was the only bod right it was it or it's like default like i have like a physical job and i'm not eating as much processed food so my body looks different by virtue of like work culture and what the foods that are available. Cause there are times like I look at like my dad or my uncles, I'm like, damn, we all were like fucking fit and shit.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Like the fuck was going on? Like we just, we were poor and we didn't, we made our own food and like we worked like physical shit. Like we moved shit around. I don't know. We weren't doing shit. Made our own food.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Is it? That's the whole thing. It's made our. I don't know. We weren't doing shit. Made our own food is it. That's the whole thing. Made our own food and lifted bricks. Yeah. I don't know. We did labor and ate. We weren't eating a bunch of chips all day. I'm like, okay, leave my chips alone.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah. We weren't sitting in front of a fucking mic all day, running our mouths miles. Yeah. Talking about non-fuckable tolkien's or whatever you were talking about talking about terpenes and zeitgeists all right let's talk real quick uh just something to kind of send you off on your day uh as you're listening to this if you're driving by mickey d's you get that breakfast sandwich pay their workers that they first pay their workers more. Yeah, first demand they pay their workers a little bit of wage. Don't cross the picket line if there is one.
Starting point is 00:28:27 But, so the takeout was pointing out that apparently there are five different types of eggs that McDonald's serve with their breakfast sandwiches. Makes sense. And the easy, quick version is just ask for a round egg. quick version is just ask for a round egg if you're getting a breakfast sandwich that's the one that's like a freshly cracked egg poured into the round egg stencil or whatever ring yeah yeah and the other versions are like the square egg that's folded like a pamphlet no the there's also scrambled eggs but those all come in liquid form they arrive at the mcdonald's in liquid form so the only way to get a freshly cracked egg poured into an egg stencil is from at is by asking for the round egg at first i was shocked by this news but i realized my mouth
Starting point is 00:29:19 had already guided me to the proper decision because i i've i love the breakfast look i'm oh fuck i love the breakfast okay it's a coveted item for me but always whether it was the deluxe breakfast those scrambled eggs just weren't didn't feel right right that folded sheet scrambled thing nah mcmuffin is where i'm at yeah so mcmuffins naturally have these i think the I think the sausage McMuffins have these as well. The scrambled egg, though, comes with a lot of the bread. It comes with the biscuit breakfast sandwiches. It comes with the McGriddles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:56 So, yeah. What is this? A damn McDonald's commercial? Yeah. Let's talk about Israel and Palestine, Jack. Okay, guys. All right. Make me feel like an asshole for giving people.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Stop trying to avoid talking about Israel and Palestine, Jack. I'm just saying. Anything else? What do you guys think of Burger King? Have you tried Burger King's breakfast sandwich? I'm just saying. All right. Yeah. tried burger king's breakfast sandwich i'm just saying all right yeah so i feel like this time the conversation around israel and palestine has been noteworthy for comparatively how willing
Starting point is 00:30:36 people are to openly criticize israel in the mainstream media but there's I feel like the pushback began towards the end of last week. The AP just fired a young reporter after a couple of weeks for being an active member of the pro-Palestinian group's Jewish Voice for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine at Stanford University. A right wing group, Stanford College Republicansans started a complaint campaign against her those are my favorite guys yeah stanford republicans yeah look earth fucker 2.0 yeah stanford himself earth fucker yeah cnn had a pakistani diplomat on and got his thoughts on the situation, and he was throwing out all sorts of anti-Semitic tropes. There was a protest and counter-protest in Times Square that ended in violence, and it was covered as anti-Semitic hate crime.
Starting point is 00:31:37 So, I don't know. It's starting to, I think, turn just how the mainstream media is covering it. And it is, I is i mean yeah there's obviously anti-semitism in the country it's just frustrating that it gets conflated conflated with criticism of an apartheid state and war crimes like those are unrelated things and i i it seemed like we were starting the conversation at a place that recognized that. And now more and more that is being lost or kind of fog backlash is a good thing. You know, I don't like that there have been hate crimes, like an uptick in anti-Semitic hate crimes. But it does seem like people are starting to understand on a like on a very broad general scale that Zionism and Judaism are different and that one is a political ideology and one is a religion.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And that that is one of the big issues here and kind of where all of the violence is coming in is people who still conflate zionism with judaism and think jews are bad right right yeah it's even wild too because you think in february right facebook was getting in a lot of heat because they were trying to put Zionism as like a term that would be interpreted as hate speech. Like in terms of weird take away critiques of Zionism, where people would talk about, you know, have a critical take on Zionism and like, oh, this has been flagged. And it's like, wait, hold on. And you see just sort of how- Well, it's because sometimes people use Zionist
Starting point is 00:33:26 as a code word for Jew. Absolutely, right, of course. Absolutely. When they're being anti-Semitic, which is not helpful. Right. I think this is, it's the same thing that even happens in any sort of debate that begins over oppression
Starting point is 00:33:39 and racial inequality or racism that the hegemonic class or the oppressive class or group can find ways to begin distorting it to actually like we're seeing now conflate things like yeah because it's it's absolutely abhorrent to for this to turn into attacks against just jewish people off the strength you're like what is i'm so what no like if we're trying to advocate for the people of palestine who are you know being colonized and killed and we want we no longer want our government to have a hand in this and maybe pump the brakes on sending all these checks over. Because as we understand it, to the ceasefire seemed like it may have been conditioned on some things like, don't worry, we're going to get some money over to you on a second. Right. Just can you agree to this ceasefire?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Because Republicans have been pushing more like they're like, we need to get this money over to you all in a second. Right. Just can you agree to this ceasefire? Right. Because Republicans have been pushing more, like they're like, we need to get this money over there. We need to get this. It's all, but yes, to your point, it is becoming more nuanced. And even like the fact that even on when Netanyahu went on CBS, that anchor John Dickerson straight up was like, oh, hold up.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Are you just like bombing them because you failed to form a government like four times and you're uh facing a corruption trial is this maybe why you're doing this this seems like a pattern with you bb and that was like i was like oh shit really wow corporate uh media like that gonna ask a pointed question like that so i think yeah there is this whether it's people who felt that it was just like with anti-black racism in this country was like a thing. It's like, well, if you start talking about it, you would be looked at as like a disturbance in a company that wasn't really interested in racial justice. And now I'm sure for journalists who have been who have traveled, who have seen things with their own eyes,
Starting point is 00:35:16 they're like, I feel like I have to be actually be able to talk about this. Like this. Well, it's I think one thing that's important in this story is that it's not just that she's a journalist, which is probably which is like really huge. But I think some of the most passionate activism that I have seen for Palestine has been on behalf of American Jews like this reporter who have family in Israel, have been to Israel, have seen Israel, have sometimes experienced Palestine and Gaza and the West Bank. But some of them have only had sheltered experiences that they know, and some of them have supported Palestine because they have seen it again with their own eyes. And that's something that I think is is really upsetting to see, you know, to have your community turn against you because you're speaking out about something that you think is right. And it's really, really hard for American Jews who have been raised with
Starting point is 00:36:19 a lot of, you know, propaganda given to them about israel is and what it represents for them and you know and to to see a genocide happening and to speak out against it even though it means that your community might call you a traitor is i can't imagine how hard that is and it just makes me so upset to see people who do this getting backlash from Stanford Republicans. Right. For a take as simple as like, I'm looking at this. This looks like the worst kind of oppression I've seen. I've been taught my whole life to understand what the beginning of a genocide looks like. And I'm seeing it. Right right right they got they also pulled
Starting point is 00:37:06 out an old tweet where she described sheldon addison as a naked mall rat looking billionaire which is where's the lie yeah that is the most objectively true thing that i've ever heard in my life like that just means she's a good journalist more j more Java-y, you know, if I'm going to split hairs. But either way. Any Sheldon Adelson slander is completely justified and fine. Anti-Semitism is real, but he's the worst. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Let's talk about where we're at with the vaccination nation. We're having to get creative to encourage people to get out here and uh get some vaccine in their arm we got these we got to squeeze these margins out man we got to get these numbers across the line because you know shit's stalled out right because i don't know people are still fucking worried about getting a shot that could spread that stopped the spread of a virus that's currently destroying india um but you know don't worry because you want to live through the prism of whatever's happening right in front of you that makes the other shit fake or whatever um i just want to say it makes my arm hurt okay it hurt
Starting point is 00:38:15 hurt my arm or yeah they're like but but it modifies your rna i'm like do you know can okay break that down for me right now. But, okay, let's move on. Oh, they will, though. They'll break it down for you in just the most bullshit confusing terms. Yeah, exactly. Like, in a way that even a doctor would just be like, what the fuck are you even saying? If you start off being like, okay, look, RFK Jr., now I know what you're going to say.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Right. I really want to say, though, I saw a lady on TikTok who is anti-vax, and she uses the hashtag, my DNA is sovereign. And it's like, bitch, your DNA is literally changed by things that happen to you. It is not sovereign, and you are not in charge of it. That cell phone probably changed your DNA. Yeah. Let's be real.
Starting point is 00:39:04 But no, I don't want to read a study like that that would then broaden my understanding of even the narrow version of the take i'm going after however i do want to say this uh because of this because of the vaccine thing stalling out and some people are inconvenient some people are just straight up anti-vax whatever or ignorant too because i've actually realized there's staggering amount of people who simply have not given it any thought right so i have other friends who are treating it like it's like like ps6 is about to come out they're like oh well you know i don't want that and then the new one you know like i want the latest one i'm like yo let's be real i want vaccine 2.7. Yeah, okay. You're like, after the firmware update.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Fine. Anyway. You're going to wait in line for it like some sheeple. Just wait until all the craze dies down, and then you can go to the Apple store and get it. Yeah, then you can get a bunch of them, and then you can resell them. You just get eight in your arm, and then you go and you take it out with a syringe when you get home and resell it on eBay. Yeah. So make my arm look like a hedgehog. I just want to help this, though, to help people because a lot of again, people are ignorant.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Some people just don't know. Some people even given it thought. A lot of the dating apps are now offering perks. Yeah. For users on there to have like on vax badges. You know what I mean? Like we could could kiss raw no mask and help people just kind of realize that this whole thing isn't some gigantic you know like risk you're taking yeah the vaccine not online dating because that shit is a fucking nightmare yeah but so you have tinder hinge match ok cupid blk chispa plenty of fish bumble the list goes on special bennies vaccination badges tinder is
Starting point is 00:40:45 allowing vaccinated people to get free premium content like a super like oh shit it also adds people to have like a getting vaxxed or vaccine save live stickers to their profiles the same thing ok cupid will help like it'll they'll boost your profile if you if you're vaccinated and i don't know how the fuck they're verifying that. You could just Photoshop something for all I know. But on top of that, right, they found on OkCupid, they say, according to our research, people who are vaccinated or plan to get vaccinated receive 14% more matches than people
Starting point is 00:41:14 who don't plan to get vaccinated. That sounds like a straight up lie, but I like the energy. Why do you think that's a lie? I don't, I mean, it just feels like such a, like a hard carrot on a stick. I'm not saying it is or isn't, but it's a very good compelling where you're saying like, hey man, people that get vaccinated, fuck more.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yeah. I'd be like, okay. Okay. Cupid has always been unapologetically just like digging into the data that they find out and being like, oh, you guys are racist. Uh, Like just openly like telling people shit about themselves. Yeah, OkCupid is like, oh yeah, we matched you guys because you're
Starting point is 00:41:49 both kind of racist. It works. Yeah, in a way, maybe the people who don't get vaccinated will have better matches. Right, because that's a very specific vibe. How are you not going to have something in common with someone who's also anti-vax? They're going to be like racist right like i'm just anti-vax yeah but but i mean
Starting point is 00:42:10 it's a small like what come on now it's a smaller portion of the population though right religious ones you got your q anon ones you got your uh your luddites right you know not not literal luddites but you know luddite mentality and mentality. And then you got your sneakerheads who are the ones that are waiting for the new one. And, you know, there's a lot of reasons, Jack. It's a diverse community. The sneakerhead. The sneakerhead anti-vaxxers. There's rich guys.
Starting point is 00:42:37 You know, there's actors. Yeah. There's LeBron. But the other thing, what's interesting is last last week there was a huge pro publica investigation into like the dating apps and like okay cupid too about how they are terrible at resolving like claims of sexual assault oh that's good so it's interesting that within a week it's like the new headline involving them was like yeah we're on the vaccine train man we'll make sure everybody vaccinations yeah we're doing good doing great doing okay don't know everything's good cool cool cool all right let's take a break and we'll be
Starting point is 00:43:08 right back and talk quincy 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

Starting point is 00:47:10 Most of the time. And we're back. And for people who aren't day ones for daily zeitgeist one of the best things i think we ever did as a podcast was just a story about a quincy jones interview miles interpreted a bunch of quincy jones's statements yeah that was our 80th episode wow and we're at what a thousand you're interested episode 80 where it was you me and jakeese that's right that's right all right so this time he is talking about all the racism he experienced in his career but it's a quincy jones interview so like yeah there's just gems there's questions and yeah he answers a couple about how Truman Capote was racist.
Starting point is 00:48:05 And when he was touring films, the racism he encountered. Because they're like, you hired a Negro? But this film doesn't have Negroes in it. And you're like, he's a fucking... What? So, yes. We should just... What were some of the things that he covered in the first one?
Starting point is 00:48:21 The first one was he dated Ivanka. Yeah. What? That she wanted to date him yeah what does she wanted to date him she wanted to date him and he would just say all these kinds of out-of-pocket stories and then do these hard pivots yes and it got him in a lot of trouble with his daughters like kadada and rashida jones were like dad the fucking interview is a meme now because you're saying like you like brazilian music is like a meme now when it comes to Quincy Jones. Because I forget what he said. It's like just something wild.
Starting point is 00:48:51 And he's like, anyway, you like Brazilian music? It's like, you just said something about you think you know who killed JFK. Yeah, that's right. And it was like, because it was the mob. You like Brazilian music? Like, it was like, whoa, okay. So he, look, my man's damn near 90 so he's he keeps it he still keeps it really honest keeps it funky let have they ever given a pulitzer for the subject of an interview
Starting point is 00:49:14 because i feel like he could yeah because also you think about how this man's career like what it spanned you know and he like you know like worked like i think he wrote fly me to the moon and shit had the first song ever played on the moon like he's he's there's no one heavier than quincy jones like when it comes to music that's why a lot of people were upset when fat joe was like dj khaled is the new quincy jones and people like uh sir out of here sir please have every seat and lean back out of the conversation. So, okay. I want to talk about just a few tidbits because these are good. The first one, we'll deal with racism and the rest probably won't.
Starting point is 00:49:55 This first question, did you ever work with Elvis? No, I wouldn't work with him. Why not? I was writing for orchestra leader Tommy Dorsey. Oh, God. Back in the 50s. And Elvis came in and Tommy said, I don't want to play with him. He was a racist mother. I'm going to I'm going to shut up now. But every time I saw Elvis, he was being coached by Otis Blackwell telling him how to sing, basically saying, like, yeah, this black man was helping Otis or helping Elvis, you know, steal a culture. And then another question. What's your secret to recognizing talent? He talks about how he heard Billie Holiday and things.
Starting point is 00:50:28 He said, I want a singer that after 15 seconds of hearing them, I know exactly who they are. Because singers have that kind of identification or not. And I work with all of them. I worked with Billie Holiday at 14. God. What did you learn from Billie? What did I learn from Billie?
Starting point is 00:50:43 Oh, my God. Stay away from heroin. She could barely get to the stage, man. She could barely walk on the stage. But Bobby Tucker was like my brother. What? The band leader for Billie Holiday. But like, he just leaves these answers.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Such like perfect old guy shit. What'd you learn from Billie Holiday? You said, you treat her like a dare class? Fucking Billie Holiday. don't don't touch that heroin um okay he says then they go but I like that Bobby though yeah love love Bobby Tucker like a brother uh then they talk about you know his mother he goes on to say he was he was really fine in his solitude because when he was younger his mother was put into a hospital because she had dementia precox and that was he he said he had he'd never had a mother since he was younger, his mother was put into a hospital because she had dementia precox.
Starting point is 00:51:25 And that was he said he had he'd never had a mother since he was seven years old. And he's been searching ever since. I think the quote from that. It's like insightful. Then then the interviewer asks, have you ever been in therapy? Hell no. But something like dementia precox. Boy, that's tough.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Oh, my God. We went out to that manteno state hospital when she went in he's talking about his mom that first day we went a patient was up on a chair with a bowl with feces in it she doodied in it and she was telling all the patients you shall have no pie you shall have no pie okay thank you that even whether it was the aggressive hell no or this other anecdote again painting a picture like saying it's so good that after saying something like really insightful about his own like uh lifelong search for a mother and the person's like oh so you've been to therapy hell no hell
Starting point is 00:52:17 no and then he says like problematic stuff be like yeah this woman's duty in a bowl you know what i mean shit was wild like hold on quincy please quincy then he goes on this another quote is fucking amazing um he talks about he says you know we've got to learn everything about music because this is the most fantastic magical gift i mean people cannot live without music or water you know that could you live without music i don't want to what sign are you the interviewerer says, I'm a Leo. That's great. I'm Pisces, Leo rising in the Scorpio moon. Everything I need got me feeling so horny.
Starting point is 00:52:53 I've had Leo girlfriends. Boy, oh boy, they don't play. Whoa. Who is interviewing him? I want to hang out. I want to hang out with him. I mean, that energy, Seth Abramovich is the one interviewing him so horny then just this one last thing again you know like even when he talks about like sort of that he can understand his own experiences with like mental
Starting point is 00:53:17 health and how that relates to his mother he then has a really interesting take about racial racism so what did you think about all the george floyd protests last summer he said it's been coming a long time man people have been turning their heads the other way uh but it's all the same to me misogyny racism you have to be taught how to hate somebody it doesn't come naturally i don't think i don't think so unless you've been trained i just think it's such a bad habit these racists oh my god asians how the hell do you get mad at an asian girl quincy the fuck is you saying man shut the fuck up bro oh my god that's that old school shit where i ain't gonna get mad at an asian girl that's not racism quincy i mean that's but okay
Starting point is 00:54:01 so the interview is also like chock full of just you again you see he talks about how he wasn't fucking with donnie osmond because he didn't want people knowing he was working with donnie osmond and when he told it to oprah he said he killed the deal oh really i told you not to be telling people we were working he wasn't really feeling it that he was working with Donny Osmond. That's so fucking funny, man. Wow. So, yeah, he's back at it again. The fucking, the man who spans, what, at this point, 17 decades, if we're using Andrew Giuliani math.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Yeah, yeah. I still haven't figured out the math on how Andrew Giuliani has been. I still haven't figured out the math on how Andrew Giuliani has been. It's 35. 35, but has touched five decades. Has been in politics for five decades, even though this is the very first political thing he's ever done. I mean, it's because we're barely through another decade and he was born on the tail end of one. Right. He doesn't have to fill, you know, we went over.
Starting point is 00:55:01 He's had experience in politics. Since three. What was it? Within five decades. Right. And his experience started when his dad first started flirting with his mom to have that affair that eventually led to. Right. That's experience.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Yeah, that is experience. I don't know where you come from, but where I come from, what your parents do is uh also you wait just one other thing when when he talked about how horny he was about being a school like his sign they said the brahms are some horny signs do you can do you consult an astrologist he said i study with john glenn the astronaut he said he took me aside and decided to teach me about astrology from an astronaut's point of view and what he said yo that shit's bullshit i've been up in that and fucking what the fuck you talking about worry about astrology like i studied with him and he said that shit is bullshit i mean
Starting point is 00:55:57 i don't know i i made that part i studied with john glenn mean i had a conversation with john glenn yeah right well he was probably like hey man you ever fuck a Scorpio all the time Quincy he's like my man ha ha alright we studied together I graduated oh yeah man we had a menage with a Pan Am flight attendant
Starting point is 00:56:17 oh man got me feeling so horny. Got me feeling... He's talking about his own... I love it, though. Leo rising, Scorpio, got me feeling so horny. Everything I need. Those are some hot signs.
Starting point is 00:56:35 I know Scorpio's... I've had some fire relationships with Scorpio's. Not always good. Scorpio girlfriends, boy, oh, boy, they don't play. They don't play. They don't play. They don't play. They don't play. They'll scratch your eyes out. Gotta wear eye protection like Kurt Rambis.
Starting point is 00:56:52 The passion of the Pisces. The narcissism of the Leo. And the horniness of the Scorp. All in one very old man. One old man who will regale you with stories about Frank Sinatra's fucking habits. Wait, is that in this interview?
Starting point is 00:57:10 No, but I just feel like, you know. Oh, yeah. Like, I feel like we got to we got to try and get Quincy to do a podcast and just be like, yo. That's what I'm saying. I can't believe his kids want him to stop doing this. Yeah, this is in print. This is awesome. And like, and this means that you don't have to
Starting point is 00:57:25 sit around and listen to him ramble because literally reporters want to do it so this is the best case scenario for the child of a very old person yes and these are great stories and we love to hear them in this i'll sit down i'll like i'll be like yeah quincy here man let me smirk another blunt quincy jones book or oral history right i mean if somebody's not writing the book with him right now they're they're making a mistake the publishing industry is leaving money on the table i'm sure somebody had that idea it could be anyone because it seems like he trusts any person interviewing right it could be fucking anybody. What sign are you? Is the screening question. Yeah, what sign are you? Oh, Sagittarian?
Starting point is 00:58:08 Hell no. Y'all heads in the clouds. I can't fuck with you. All right. Let's talk about Law & Order SVU. Being a fan might have saved this little girl's life. She was waiting at a bus stop for the school bus, I think, and playing with blue slime. And someone tried to kidnap her.
Starting point is 00:58:28 I'm going to play this news clip, because just hearing all of this just sounds unreal. So yes, like Jack was saying, someone attempted to kidnap this 11-year-old girl, and she fled, and they were able to apprehend the attempted kidnapper because of something she learned from SVU. It led to the suspect, 11-year-old Alyssa Bonal, who fought off her knife-wielding abductor,
Starting point is 00:58:52 had the presence of mind to mark her attacker. She was playing with blue slime when he grabbed her, and she made sure to wipe some of it on him. That trick gave investigators just the evidence they needed. The suspect, when we caught him, had blue slime all over his own arms. She got the idea from her favorite TV show. Me and my mom watched Ron Over's funeral. And we would see what would happen, what to do. So she was saying, we watch SVU all the time. I see him on kidnappingsnap, what to do. Today.
Starting point is 00:59:27 So she was saying we watch SVU all the time. I see him on kidnappings, like what to do.

Yeah yeah mariska hargitay was bigging her up too she's like yo love to see it you'd love to see it she i mean the the fighting him off is also pretty i would just stand still and you know if somebody came at me with a knife
Starting point is 01:01:19 she was immediately just like hitting him with her backpack. Yeah, you should fucking learn how to fight freaky motherfuckers off as a kid. In Orlando. Don't fucking leave with strangers and shit. Yeah. Even as an adult, my friend had a girl try to attack her with a knife. She put her hand in front of her face and the knife went all the way through her hand. Oh, my God. But it kept it from going in her face.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Right. Oof. Damn. Hand in front of the face. Good to know. See, now this podcast might be saving some people's lives. Shout out Kat Ramzinski. Tough motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Yeah. Let's talk about somebody who is kind of the opposite of that resilient young woman. They are somebody who spent $75 on a candle because the candle promises to smell like Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina and then lit it. And the candle started hissing, spitting wax all over the place and exploded. So it sounds like Gwyneth Paltrow. Sounds like a fun night. Yeah. Sounds like Gwyneth Paltrow uh but yeah this is we we talked last year when this was dropped I mean we did exactly what they wanted people to do which is talk about the silly thing that they did which is releasing a candle called this smells like my vagina smells like sandalwood and rosewood and other scents woods other woods but yeah was was there like a like a vibe inspiration guide to say like why it's these
Starting point is 01:02:54 like how is is she saying that her vagina smells like sandalwood i believe so yeah like biological man see this see, this is... I know freaky people were like, how are you going to do that? How are you going to make a candle smell like that? What does it actually smell like? I think it's just like a very... It's like...
Starting point is 01:03:14 Probably has nothing... No one would walk in a room and be like, what the fuck y'all doing in here? What's been happening in here? Yeah. I'd rather be like, oh, this is very relaxing. These wooded herbaceous scents are wonderful.
Starting point is 01:03:28 I don't know. What an aggressive candle name. Yeah. Very aggressive. Very, had the desired effect. People have spent $75 on it. It is a 10 and a half ounce candle. And after burning for an estimated three hours or less,
Starting point is 01:03:46 in this case, the candle became engulfed in high flames and exploded soon after. And the room was filled with smoke. How do you do that? Is it like, how does a candle explode? Because they're saying, they're probably like, yo, this dude's lying. Our candles don't explode.
Starting point is 01:04:01 I've definitely had candles that, where the flame got real high like it was too big a flame and I could see that like setting the whole top of the candle on fire at which point if it's in a jar I could see something something happens. It basically becomes an oil fire
Starting point is 01:04:18 in a jar. Right exactly which can explode the jar. Goop is calling the lawsuit a frivolous lawsuit that's attempting to exploit the attention of a, quote, press-heavy product. Well, whose fault is that, Goop? Yeah, as if that wasn't the entire premise of this thing. But there's reason to believe this might not be entirely made up uh in january a uk writer penned a essay in the guardian about how the her goop vagina candle exploded with bits of molten wax flying out as it fizzed and spat fizzled and spat
Starting point is 01:04:55 which actually like that makes me for the first time interested in this candle, but yeah. This is like such old technology. We know how to make candles. Yeah. Since the days of whaling, we've had a pretty good grip on this whole candle thing. I thought we had figured out the whole burning wick in fat thing. Yeah. Our ancestors would be like, we gave
Starting point is 01:05:20 y'all tallow for this? For vagina scented disasters? There's a lot of things that can go wrong with a candle but it's really easy to make one that doesn't explode and they're so expensive yeah they cost 75 they uh explode and they also uh according to their the directions that come with them, are only meant to be lit for two hours. No more than two hours. Wait, what? Yeah, only two hours, dude.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Who got a candle timer? What kind of irresponsible candle user leaves their candle lit for more than two hours? Come on. What the fuck? That's the whole point. That's why you buy the... Set it, forget it.
Starting point is 01:06:04 What the fuck? It's like $35 an hour to burn this the whole point. Right. They said it. Forget it. What the fuck? It's like thirty five dollars an hour to burn this. Yeah. Right. Seventy. And also for seventy five, like you might as well just you dive into them luxury French candles. If you're going to drop that kind of coin on a fucking thing, I keep it. Look, I like the Yankee candle shit with the wood wick.
Starting point is 01:06:23 It's affordable and it keeps my house smelling like a like a school administrator's home. But yeah, I think like, yeah, the fancy diptych ones. Those are fucking really two bros by diptych. Oh, my. That's when, you know, you somebody with money. Diptych over here. Diptych. Mm hmm.
Starting point is 01:06:43 What's your Yankee candle scent miles uh right now i got um actually i have an old holiday car on my desk so this is crimson berries this one this one will smell like you know like a a white person's house on christmas nice and i got it because you know having not white parents i never had real traditional like there was never like mulling spices you know what i mean like you know you go to someone's house like they do fucking christmas like with all the fucking right every sense is engaged and shit i never had that shit i literally had like a festivus pole like with a couple lights my mom put on a couple times yeah yeah because after a while my parents are only doing it for me they're like do you want a tree and like
Starting point is 01:07:24 when i was really little i was like sure then i was like look bro we don't fuck with jesus in this house or santa so i don't need the tree as long as there's gifts on come the morning then we're good and that was like a a you know sort of a compromise we reached so the but my mom felt bad so she would put like lights on this one lamp. That's awesome. So all of that to say is now the pendulum is swinging so hard in the other direction where her majesty is like, you are, have like these basic tendencies with Christmas things.
