Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 85, Episode 4 of Dirt Daily Zeitgeist, a production
of iHeart Radio.
This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness and say
officially, off the top, fuck Coke Industries and fuck Fox News.
It's Thursday, June 6, 2019.
My name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a.
Hey, 2019. My name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Hey, potatoes.
O'Brien, come to your senses.
You've been saying fuck Fox News for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one.
Koch brothers just want to love you.
You better let them brothers love you
So y'all can get paid
Curtis here, Christy Yamaguchi, man, and I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray!
Daily Zites and Miles of Gray at dawn come tomorrow
And put the next one on for that one with the eagle eared listener
for that eagle eye cherry aka what was the tune of your aka oh interesting yeah I'm a hell of a singer. I don't know that song.
Oh, is that fucking Eagles?
Desperado.
Is that the Eagles?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I remember that was when I was like, I only know two.
And you're like, what about Desperado?
I'm like, no.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Wow, I thought that was a classic.
You don't know that Seinfeld episode where the dude, every time he hears Desperado,
closes his eyes. Oh, shit.
He's like, that's a classic. Okay, you know, I know that. Desperado, closes his eyes. Oh, shit. He's like, that's awesome.
Okay, you know, I know that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
That's what it sounds like.
See, and now my t-shirt just turned into a Tommy Bahama.
Yeah.
So, if you weren't an Eagles fan before, now you are.
Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented Lucas Hazlitt.
Hello.
What's up, man?
I'm just sitting here with one of these fidget spinners
that I've never played with before.
Yeah, look.
I'm hooked.
I don't think I can do the show anymore.
I know.
It's just, wow.
Spinning over here.
They take a lot of attention.
You're not supposed to track the spin with your eyes.
Holy shit, man.
Your eyes look like that woman on the helicopter.
Oh, my goodness.
I was actually, when I was trying to simulate, trying to figure out if the force is, because
I'm moving my hand in such a way, and I'm like, yeah, I can see why that happened.
You can feel that gyroscopic force.
I can feel it.
It's like, oh, shit, we're spinning.
Yeah.
I think we had our first physics discussion this morning in the Daily Zeitgeist offices.
We were just trying to figure out how the fuck that happened.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Because it started slow.
And then-
Accelerated.
Right.
Got faster.
Phoenix Rescue.
I think that was in Phoenix, right?
Arizona.
Shout out to them.
That might have been the hardest I've laughed this week.
What a fucking 74-year-old woman.
Perfect physical comedy.
Yeah.
It really is.
Yeah.
You would see that in a trailer
to some Farrelly Brothers movie.
Where it's like, we'll save you.
That's too advanced for the Farrelly Brothers, man.
Damn, shots fired.
That's like some Lonely Island.
It's got that Lonely Island
sort of slow build thing.
Green Book is hilarious, though.
The entire movie did make me laugh.
So you're saying that's more of a
MacGruber bit? Yeah, that of like a MacGruber bit?
Yeah, that feels like a MacGruber bit.
Okay.
Maybe.
Did they do MacGruber?
No.
Something to do with it?
The director from Lonely Island directed MacGruber.
Oh, okay.
What would have made that MacGruber is if during that whole thing, the helicopter crashed and
she was the only one that survived.
Or it exploded and the thing just took off.
She just, the basket with the force just got lift.
Well, Lucas, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about, such as the Uber Eats Cravings Report.
We have some interesting insight into the ordering habits of Americans in these United States of America.
We're going to talk about Joe Biden's continuing battle
with his inner demons when it comes to...
Being himself.
Yeah, plagiarizing the fuck out of everything.
We're going to talk about YouTube,
who decided to remove thousands of videos
and accounts of white supremacists,
but not that one that people were asking them to remove.
So it's essentially like, oh, you think that's bad?
Well, look at this shit.
We're over tin window adjusted.
There's a new X-Men movie coming out
that is not looking so hot in terms of reviews
and how it's going to perform.
And we're going to talk about how that ties into
the overall box office landscape
and Hollywood studio landscape.
We're going to talk about whether it's okay to wear AirPods all the time,
just around the clock.
We're going to talk about legal weed now being on par with Taco Bell sales
and bigger than Fortnite.
And we are going to talk about the brand crossover to end all crossovers.
But first, Lucas, we like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
The very last thing I searched as I was looking at my phone on the Uber over here
was what is Peter Dinklage's net worth?
Oh, interesting. on the uber over here was what is peter dinklage's net worth oh and i because i am obsessed with how much actors as an actor you you know trying to write comparative they tell you not to compare
but you know you got to compare just trying to see what his net worth was and uh you know
for a relatively small guy relatively big worth all right same as you then. Yeah, we're so close. And what's his?
What's his?
According to this, it was $15 million.
There you go.
Which is a nice.
I wonder where his assets are, what he's tied up in.
I don't know.
Properties, you know, some franchises.
I would imagine most of it is honestly just earnings.
Yeah, right?
It's just he earns enough money.
Just cash.
Just cold, hard cash.
Is there a reason why you focused on Peter Dinklage?
You just thought, I wonder where...
I went down one of those rabbit holes where you...
Everyone's network?
I just was like, who's...
Because the big news is everyone was making a big deal about Jay-Z being a billionaire.
A billionaire, right.
And so I was just like, okay, well, let's see.
Boom, boom, boom.
How close is everybody else?
How close is everybody else?
Who's on that list?
Who's chasing?
And then you just look up Game of Thrones and now all of a sudden you're looking at all these people.
Wow.
You were thinking Dinklage is the next to be a billionaire?
I mean, Dinklage is just the last on the list that I looked up.
Therefore, he was the latest Google searcher.
Because I was doing Sophie Turner.
I was doing Maisie Well.
Who were you surprised by on that list?
I was.
Whether a lot or too little.
I was actually shocked that they all relatively were the same.
Okay, that makes sense.
Some of them are just significantly more famous than others.
Right, right, right.
So I would think that they would have a little bit more net worth, but no, they're pretty
much all kind of...
Everyone's on that 10 to 20 area.
10 to 20.
Okay.
That's the area to shoot for, is that 10 to 20.
There you go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10, yeah.
I feel like you know that's
that's enough and then no one will blame you for being a destroyer of the earth yeah do they get
those six zids uh residuals like does how does that work with hbo because you can't like put it
into you can't put it into uh syndication syndication yeah but then it ends up on places
like amazon prime and other things so there are many avenues for those shows to appear. I'm sure that they've got an intense contract where it's written how that is distributed.
Could you imagine if it was just a fucking one and done?
Just like, here it is up front.
There's your fee.
I mean, no agent would allow that.
It depends on how much up front.
If they're like, here's $2 billion.
Get those zids off that syndication, baby.
What is something you think is underrated?
So the NBA finals are going on right now.
And every time the Warriors have been in the finals, they always talk about how Steph changed the game, how Steph changed the game with threes and whatnot.
So that got me thinking back to, you know, I'm from Sacramento, so it got me thinking about Sacramento Kings star in the late 90s, Mahmoud Abdul-Raouf is the most underrated basketball player in the last 30 years because he was doing three points in the way that Steph Curry is currently doing it back at a time when you could get your ass benched.
Yeah.
Coming down in transition and shooting a three.
Yeah.
On top of that, he was also one of the first dudes, like, way before Colin Kaepernick did any kind of protest.
He was doing that when you could literally just get lynched on the court.
That's true.
And he was like, no, I'm not standing for the National Anthem.
Was that when he was still Chris Jackson?
No, this was when he became Mahmoud Abdul-Rabbi.
That's when he started, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With the name change comes responsibility.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah, man.
He was ahead of his time both in playing style and in politics.
What was his, when he was protesting, what was his, what exactly was he
protesting? He just sat, right? Sat on the bench?
Or was he just kind of one of those sort of
awake people who was like, man, fuck this country.
I think it was more that. Yeah.
While he was collecting his, you know,
American standard dollar.
But, you know, he was protesting, I think
more so the content of the song
than fuck
America. Ah, interesting.
He's like, oh, y'all left out a whole other verse.
There's a couple of verses in there that are a little explicit in how the country feels about it.
Weirdly, he just thought it should have been America the Beautiful.
That was his protest.
That actually might have been it.
He was like, there's a much better song.
This is not a good song.
He's like, honestly, this song sucks.
He was a music major.
He was like, look, I'm protesting the music.
He's like, I don't know.
I went to Berkeley College of Music.
Yeah. Terrible basketball. Where did he go to college? He went to LSU. He's like, I went to Berkeley College of Music.
Terrible basketball.
Where did he go to college?
He went to LSU.
He was on Shaq's team.
What a team.
Seriously, how the fuck did they not win a title with Shaq?
How far did they get?
Not that far.
I think the furthest Shaq ever made it was second round.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Their coach was notoriously very not good.
Oh, really?
But also, that's in the era of Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas were just better.
It's like, what are you going to bang with Christian Laettner?
Christian Laettner was a badass, though.
That's what I mean.
So good.
I remember off the strength of that Final Four performance, you're like, yeah, you're
on the dream team.
Yeah, exactly.
They were just like, I guess we have to put you on, man.
Or was that because they needed a mix of non-pros back then?
They needed one college player, and they went with Leitner.
Of course, go with the guy, Mr. Buzzer Peters.
Even though I don't think he was the number one pick that year.
No, God, no.
It was Shaq.
Oh, was that the same year?
I believe so.
Was that 92?
Oh, wow, yeah.
It was either Shaq or Chris Webber, because Shaq came first,
Chris Webber came second.
So it definitely was Shaquille O'Neal then.
Webber and Anthony Hardaway.
That is correct.
Were traded for each other, weren't they?
Yes, they were.
My word.
This is fascinating.
Welcome to the new 90s basketball podcast.
Y'all remember when Mahmoud Abdul-Ruf was Chris Jackson?
Weirdly, we went into the origin story of that song recently.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, you'll have to listen back, guys.
What is something you think is overrated?
Overrated.
So to go on the exact opposite side of the spectrum of my personality,
I think it is, I was having an argument over this with a friend of mine.
I think it is completely overrated on RuPaul's Drag Race
whenever a queen during the lip sync for your life takes off her wig and reveals that there's
some spectacularness underneath and i'm just like that's not impressive to me right because the
whole point of what you're doing is you're trying to get as close to simulating a woman as possible
right that's the last time a woman just ripped her hair off and just showed you hey look at all
this under here so i was just like that that's nothing is that like a move to like show how just
wrought with emotion there or is it like a reveal it's a punctuation but the reveal is never
anything so one one queen a couple years ago one um with rose petals underneath and it was like
that was her big punctuation i'm like like, if you want to reveal something,
reveal a whole nother drag queen is under there.
Like, really.
Like a magic trick.
A spectacle.
Like, peel your face off.
If they peeled their face off,
and there was a beautiful woman underneath,
I'd be like, now that is how you win RuPaul's Drag Race. Or just the same one,
but you're still able to pull a face off.
I mean, look, this is why we were consulting
with RuPaul's Drag Race for next level. We're just trying to which on up the game yeah we had Shangela on a
couple weeks ago so I'm sure I wonder how she would feel about that I think
she would probably be more appropriate to deep dive into me then you started
like Justin you were rated when they take their wig off she must be like what
no there is a cultural history of why we do that yeah okay my bad but it just seems overrated to me um so you just want a bigger stunt i think to you it sounds like you
want a bigger you want it bigger so like if you do when they do death drops when they're doing all
kinds of flips all that shit that is legitimately like physically challenging to do in the hills
let alone period that makes me go god damn but you took off your wig guess who can take off their wig everyone with a wig can take off their wig it's not impressive without breaking exactly i
can barely pick something up without my knees going click click i tried as a joke to do a
death drop at a club and i dislocated my hip and my back went out oh did you really yeah
because i thought if they make that shit look easy. They make that shit look easy. I'm like, okay, you just do a little spin and then pow.
Oh, no.
I've never once looked at that and thought it looked easy.
Well, you know, in my mind, I'm like, it's a dance move.
And I kind of got the way you got to get your arm out and get your quad stretch on.
But that's, you know, I just typically try to mimic things immediately without thinking about what it actually takes.
Monkey see, monkey do.
Yeah.
What is a myth?
What's something people think is true you know to be false?
So this one I was thinking, and then I heard some of the topics you're going to be talking about.
And so I'm hoping this doesn't cannibalize one of those topics.
But one of the biggest myths that I've always kind of like been racking my brain over and I think it speaks to a bigger problem in the
American psyche is this idea
that box office performance
in the first weekend is
any indication of the quality of the movie.
Because movie studios love
putting out there that
our movie's number one at the box office made all
this money. Yeah, but your movie sucked.
All you were capable of doing was getting
people to go see your sucky movie.
Your marketing was good.
Your marketing was spectacular.
Right.
The marketing in Hollywood is out of this world good,
but the movies are, I was just like, you know what?
I don't care that Avengers Endgame has now made more money than Avatar.
I didn't care for it.
Yeah.
We were actually just talking about that this morning because it slowed down
so it had a huge opening but it's actually like its first day under a million dollars was earlier
than like by a week than uh avengers infinity war if you look at a movie like titanic right titanic
is a perfect example not now a lot of people might be like well fuck that movie too but i'll say this
great action film yeah i'll say this the opening weekend was not good that movie made its money because people kept going to the
movie and so at least there you go well that indicates people actually loved the movie or
avatar too right well you know well not that it was good but there were people who were like i
want to live on what was it pandora pandora they were like i remember on the internet they were like on reddit and like different fan message
boards are like is anyone else getting depressed that like they can't live in pandora they're like
i've been going to two times a day two times yeah two times a movie is worth seeing in theaters one
it actually goes up like weekend over weekend and, there is a mental illness caused by people having to leave the movie, which is what Avatar caused.
Was that the exorcist effect actually?
Yeah, the exorcist also did that.
Yeah.
Well, I think also too that whole emphasis on box office things is because the priorities of the film industry.
I mean, it's always been about profit.
Sure.
But like it's now just down to like mathematically.
It's like we'll green light things we know are profitable.
It's not about the art anymore because a lot of the marketing people started
filling the development positions,
like in the eighties,
nineties,
right.
And the emphasis changed from like,
what are good stories to like how we can make this fucking money every time.
And I just want to go on the record.
I'm a hundred percent.
Okay.
With that.
I do not think that's a problem i think where the
problem kicks in is when the the narrative in the news reporting of movies right is that that's the
measure this is what good is and it's like no no this is what marketable is people definitely want
to go see superheroes doing insanely illogical time travel related bullshit i hated that movie
wow i haven't seen it so oh shit well there you go i suppose without that no i haven't seen really Time travel related bullshit. I hated that movie. Wow. I did not like that movie.
I haven't seen it, so.
Oh, shit.
Well, there you go.
I spoiled the shit out of that.
No, I haven't seen really any of that adventure.
Yeah, it's, they're fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They are, it's the same thing as going on a roller coaster, but you don't go to that
roller coaster and go, wow, that is on par with the great architectural wonders of the
world.
It's like, no, that was designed to give you a thrill, and then you move on.
Yeah, right, right.
You went upside down a couple times. Went upside down. You loopeded it used a little bit of physical knowledge g-force g-force yeah yeah yeah and we more cover box office and the
movie industry from the perspective like we will talk about whether a movie is good or not but we
also like i think it's important because movies are so, like, they feed what people's images are of the world around them.
Exactly.
When people picture the Vietnam War, they're not picturing footage from the news.
They're picturing Vietnam War movies.
Or aliens.
Right.
Or aliens.
Right.
Whereas the real aliens are flying around in Tic Tacs.
Let's talk about Uber Eats Cravings Report.
Yeah, let's.
Let's.
I mean, you know, all these apps, they centralize all this information
because we're making thousands and thousands of requests through these things.
They have a lot of info.
Yeah, and the most important thing is that they make it into a fun infographic,
even though they're stealing all of this data about us and they know our minds better than
we know our minds. As long as they make it into a fun infographic, we're cool with it.
Yeah, exactly. And then we're like, huh, information, I guess. But yeah, they basically
released a bunch of interesting stuff about what their most popular delivery requests are in the United States,
like just frequency of requests.
Just to go through a few things, the most popular delivery request for Uber Eats in the United States is no onions,
which is, to me, odd because I like onions.
I feel they fucking make most things instantly better.
A lot of this made me realize that there is more of the population that has the taste buds and the taste in food of a seven-year-old than I would have expected.
Well, you know, not all of us.
You know how children hate onions?
Or at least I did when I was a kid.
A lot of kids.
You hate onions?
Yeah, I hated onions. I hate onions. I'm one of those people contributing. Why of children hate onions, or at least I did when I was a kid. A lot of kids. You hate onions? Yeah, I hated onions.
I hate onions.
I'm one of those people contributing to this.
Why do you hate onions?
Unless they're chopped finely and are really cooked down.
Like a huge ring of onions in a burger?
I feel like that's what most people are saying when they're saying, no onions, please.
They're like, why are you drenching my burger or my whatever, my pork chop in fully cooked onions versus
like chop them fine, put a little bit of oil so that just the spritz of the flavor becomes
part of what I'm eating.
Yeah.
Because it's just like you chew on an onion.
It's like, no, the texture and the taste is too much.
Yeah.
I don't know why I'm looking down on people who don't like onions.
That's on me.
I'm not looking down.
I'm just like, what the fuck?
He likes onions.
That's cool.
I love onions. No sour cream is- Another one that's on there. I'm not looking down. I'm just like, what the fuck? He likes onions. That's cool. I love onions.
No sour cream is-
Another one that's on there, too.
Come on.
Wait, dressing on the side is on here?
I would imagine that would be far and away the-
No.
No onions is by far the most popular one.
No onions is the most popular one.
Huh.
Extra cheese, good.
I like that.
That makes sense.
No cheese, come on.
Get out of here.
No cheese.
Extra ranch, I agree. agree depends on what you're
eating right right well here's the thing okay so now they also put like very weird delivery
requests people put like any notes for the delivery person one of these is next level
first one just someone literally put can you play Africa by Toto when you deliver the donuts
okay those words do not make sense yeah yeah i don't know why that is amazing
i mean fine uh i feel like that's some van halen shit they're just like trying to
put some weird shit in there to make sure that that their Uber Eats delivery person is paying attention to detail.
One person put, close both eyes with each bite and daydream about beach parties in Goa.
That's just, someone was on mushrooms.
Yeah, yeah.
That ain't fucking, that's not real.
This other one, though, is great.
I'm stealing this.
Please send all sandwich parts separately.
I will put together myself.
Yes.
Think about that.
Do you have a sound effect for mind being blown?
Yeah.
Well, there is.
Wow.
Holy shit.
Bomb X-File.
That is an amazing request.
That's a great idea.
What?
Bomb X-File?
No.
Oh.
The sandwich parts being separate.
The only way I can see that fucking up is if it's like a cheeseburger and they put the
cheese separate.
But otherwise, just put the cheese on the patty.
Sandwich part, I love it.
I love it.
Because you know why?
There's certain places out here all about the bread on Melrose.
I'm talking to you directly in your eye.
Their shit gets so soggy if you don't eat it on the spot.
Like, yeah, like, I guess it's sometimes, I guess if you overdress it, sometimes I have
a sandwich that travels and it's fine.
Right.
Other times it's the ends of the heels, like, especially if it's like a hero or, you know,
like a sub or whatever, the ends get all fucking soft and shit.
So the thing I was referring to as being children's taste in food is the most popular food and request combo is steak and ketchup.
That seems Trumpian.
Don't disrespect the steak with ketchup.
Like eggs and spicy makes sense to me.
Eggs and spicy?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
People like to kick up their eggs a little bit.
That's cool.
Fries and extra sauce.
Obviously. Those are all good. Fries and extra sauce. Obviously.
Those are all good.
But turkey wrap, no cheese.
Steak and ketchup being number one.
Well, people just like their, you know, ketchup.
Ketchup is, you know, put sugar on your meat.
Right.
I guess is what people want.
Gyro with no tomatoes.
I see that one.
I do that sometimes.
That makes total sense.
Cheeseburger, no mayo.
I get people don't like mayo on their burger, but.
Mayonnaise.
That is, to me, you might as well. You're having a visceral reaction right now.
I am.
You might as well jizz on my food.
Wow.
That would taste better to me than mayonnaise.
Okay.
I do not care for the product.
Order heard.
I don't like it.
Unless you put a little bit of garlic and make it into an aioli.
Oh, okay.
Then I'm like, oh, see, right.
You like the French cousin of mayonnaise.
Exactly. Not cousin Frank. Then I'm like, oh, see, right. You like the French cousin of mayonnaise. Exactly.
Not Cousin Frank.
Cousin Frank.
The only reason
I'd be making this request
is because I have
my own mayo chop
at home.
Oh, look at you.
I always carry
my own mayo chop
in my purse
like Beyonce.
That's hot sauce
in your bag, swag.
And then most unexpected
food request combos,
shake plus side of ranch.
Yeah, no, fuck y'all.
That's got to be fucking weird.
The weirdest one, pizza plus nuts.
Yeah, now pizza plus ranch, you got-
Right.
Shake plus nuts.
I get that.
Peanut butter shake?
I'm going to-
What kind of nuts you put on your pizza?
I don't know.
I don't put no nuts on my pizza.
Well, you're the one saying you would eat a nutted hamburger over mayonnaise, so maybe-
Different.
I don't have an allergy
to those kind of nuts. Oh, okay. Yes. I hear
that. Mushrooms and ketchup?
Okay.
Tilapia plus cheese. Are we
assuming that these are going together, or
these are just requests? These are requests like
it would be on the
order of tilapia, someone puts
please add cheese. Oh, okay. That's
disgusting. You know what though
this might just be like shake and then you'll always order fries with a shake and so you get
a side of ranch with the fry i don't think anybody's eating a shake with a ranch that
that yeah i don't think although who knows because this is like unexpected this isn't like
the this section isn't about like what's frequent it's just weird shit that caught their eye. They're like, wait, rants with your shake?
It's interesting because you can kind of track people's frame of mind
by delivery requests by day, most popular delivery requests by day.
So Friday, extra cheese.
Saturday, extra spicy.
Sunday, dressing on the side.
Just ashamed.
Yeah, exactly.
Ashamed of what you've done to yourself.
Has anyone gone down the bigger hole of like, okay, knowing this data about what you're ordering food-wise,
do they team up with the people who do the Pornhub tracking and figure out what people's porn look?
And then, okay, what movies on Netflix are you watching?
So we get a full picture of what are you eating, what are you watching? And what are you jerking off to?
No, that shit happens.
Like that,
I'm sure it does.
But who,
who is undertaking
this massive,
massive feat
of information?
Corporate America.
But some,
but you know,
everyone's so private
with their information.
They're like,
oh,
it's proprietary information.
We can't give it to you.
You think Pornhub
is linking up with Uber
and fucking Netflix?
No, Pornhub is selling that shit.
So, look, Pornhub and Netflix, Uber, can we buy all this data?
Because I would love to look at it.
I'm pretty sure I know who bought it.
It's as expensive as far as I know.
Cambridge Analytica?
Probably.
Okay.
And then doesn't Facebook kind of own them?
Or don't they, like, are they in cahoots?
Well, they have the massive file from Facebook.
Oh, I see.
Facebook gave them the files and they did the crunching.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got it, got it, got it.
All right, we're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back.

And we're back.
And, uh, Joe.
Ah, Joe, you fucking turd.
The Human Wothers original, Joe Biden, uh uh joe god joe the fucking turd the human worthers original joe biden uh has been caught plagiarizing his homework once again yeah elizabeth warren is a basically nerd of the year
with all her policy papers oh right okay and so joe biden's like oh shoot we're gonna fucking
policy paper out there let's do one on climate because people think old people don't care about it. And on paper, pretty good idea. Good plan. Seemed like he's taking the threat of climate
change seriously. But my man had to basically steal some parts from other articles, research
and things like that from Vox, from like Credo, like just a few other organizations.
He was just full stop taking just chunks of paragraphs out,
putting it into his climate plan.
And a lot of people caught him out and they're like,
oh, I guess we didn't properly cite that.
But he's not writing these even.
Well, yeah, he's not.
It's the fucking staffers.
Yo, how does he?
Well, this is a pattern with him.
Right.
Because in 88, when he was running for president, his whole shit fell apart because he first was like, oh, I may have embellished a bit about my academic record.
Right.
Also was caught stealing parts of his speech from a UK Labor Party MP.
And also another thing, there was like another thing, an unearthed New York Times article talking about how he said he like marched during the civil rights protests.
And he did not.
So Joe, come on now.
This is the age of where we can check things.
You can't just fucking shoot off at the mouth and be like, yeah, I graduated.
Maximum cum laude.
Maximum cum laude.
Maximum cum laude.
And I fuck with MLK because he didn't.
And then the other thing is recently he was asked by like an activist.
It's like, are you going to, will you help repeal the Hyde Amendment, which is this dumb fucking restriction that keeps, bans federal insurance from covering abortions except in cases of incest or rape.
And disproportionately hurts like uh women who
like are poor or women of color or if you live on a reservation it's just like a fucked up rule
and no no candidate if you're trying to be taken seriously in this 2020 primary that should be like
you're the first thing you should be like oh the hyde amendment yeah fuck that we're getting rid
of it but he then so to this activist when as he was like oh yeah we're getting rid of it. But he then, so to this activist, when Ashley was like, oh, yeah, we're getting rid of it.
Then his staffers were like, he does still support the Hyde Amendment.
Really?
Yeah.
So, wait, his staffers sold him out like that?
Well, I think they were just like, it's on his website.
I don't know.
I think they just knew that he didn't believe that.
I think maybe he just, you know, he's old.
Maybe he's just, he's so good at just telling people what they want to hear without actually doing it that they're like, he's just in it.
Whatever whatever room he's in.
Well, here's my thing real quick.
There's a there's a huge difference between lying and legit being like, yo, I marched with MLK.
It's like, no, you didn't.
Right.
That's a lie.
And then, OK, he why if you're the president of the United States, you don't come up with policy.
You choose policy.
So if he's plagiarizing other people's ideas for how to make the country work, he would be doing that as president anyway.
He would be sitting in the Oval Office and being like, what are all the great policy ideas?
And Elizabeth Warren puts her packet down and says, here's my policy idea.
He goes, I love it.
And he takes credit for it.
That's what every president does.
Well, I think in terms of like when you're rolling out a campaign, though, and you're saying this is my idea that I have and not even citing other shit.
That's true.
I don't think it's really about the fact that he lifted it from other things.
It's the idea of like not even citing.
If you're taking word for word chunks of that, you should just leave a citation.
You literally should.
And now I agree with that. Taking word for word chunks of that, you should just leave a citation. You literally should. That's disingenuous.
And now I agree with that.
That needs to just be the thing that people do.
Like, I agree with Elizabeth Warren's plan.
And if you elect me, I'll also do what she does.
And then people go like, well, then what's your idea?
I don't know.
That's her idea.
That's a good idea.
That's actually the best idea.
I'm going to be real.
But then people are like, well, then why don't we vote for her?
Oh, remember her? Oh.
Well, remember Obama?
Right.
And that's the thing that has everyone like, yeah, I do.
Why don't you?
Now, you told me earlier you used to work in politics.
You just gave Joe Biden the White House with that slogan.
Remember Obama?
Yeah.
Well, that's what he's writing on. He should literally just say that.
That is the sentiment, though, that is keeping him so high up.
Yes.
Because people then ignore things like his terrible record in the past.
We didn't care during Obama.
Yeah.
Well, this is different.
I think now when we're comparing them now and we have actual candidates,
because Joe Biden is not progressing the party forward by any means.
So that's why now when we have candidates who are like,
we actually are trying
to move forward. This is something we're trying to do different than the previous Democratic
administration. What can we do differently? That's when he's like, look, my idea is remember Obama?
Sure. I'm not trying to like throw my hat in the ring for Joe Biden, but I will say this.
The number one priority for the Democratic Party should be to get Donald Trump out of the White House by any means necessary.
Look, if the country makes a terrible decision and he ends up being the nominee, trust me, I'm going to vote for whoever the fuck it is.
Absolutely.
But on the way there, I'm going to try and make sure at the very least—
Hold his feet to the fire.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm going to try and make sure at the very least.
Hold his feet to the fire.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because what you don't want is then just sort of more of the same when we're like at a very critical point in this country where like we actually need to begin taking steps forward because we took fucking 900 steps backwards in the last two and a half years.
So, you know, we'll see. It's also just weird that like plagiarism bothers me less than, know if he's claiming i took like i i wrote
this entire book and it's actually stolen from somebody else where he's a writer and that's the
main way he makes his living uh that's one thing but like you said if he's just bought like borrowing
ideas from different sources that that doesn't bother me as a politician as much.
It's also just I find it hard to believe that this isn't somehow related to the amount of scrutiny he's getting as somebody who was caught for plagiarizing before.
Right.
Be careful.
You know how Joe used to get down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think people are scanning every single thing he puts out for plagiarism,
because it just doesn't make sense that his... Because like I said, he's not writing any of this.
It's just different campaign staffers. So his campaign staffers in 88 and now again are more
likely to plagiarize than everybody else's campaign staff. I mean, but the one thing I would say is it shows a lack of attention to detail,
which you need as a president.
Yeah, that's why, like, to me, it's, sure, just cite it.
You don't get points off because you're like,
this is other information that's out there.
Right.
But when you're, like, rushing together and you're like, yeah, this is the plan,
you've got to just be a little more thorough.
It also just shows you how we are playing two different games here.
Why is plagiarism?
If plagiarizing a speech is the biggest controversial thing of the day about a Democratic candidate, I would take that over every day.
Donald Trump doing something that is not only criminal, but it's unconstitutional.
I wish the story of the day was Donald Trump plagiarized
the speech. I'm like, great, he's human. Melania Trump plagiarized the last first lady speech,
like the last one that was given during the RNC. Just talking about the remember Obama strategy,
this isn't going to be as surprising to probably our listeners, but there is an idea
on the right that Trump was an indictment of the Obama administration. And there's also,
you'll hear this idea that there's been this giant right word shift in global politics,
essentially. But Nate Silver was pointing out the other day that voters on the 2016 exit poll approved
of Obama by an eight-point margin, which is larger than his margin of victory in 2008.
So he had a higher approval rating going out than he did coming in, which is just not really
the version of things that you hear generally, at least in the mainstream.
He's the Titanic of presidents.
Right.
The movie, not the actual ship itself.
Right.
Just want to clarify.
I've got people that will kill me.
Let's talk about YouTube briefly.
We talked yesterday about some of their bizarre practices
or some of the weird- weird fucking algorithm is wacky and it's serving up child content that is not intended to be served up so there was also
a controversy where a right-wing air quotes comedian was basically bullying a vox commentator about his sexuality and race and youtube came out and
officially said that that did not violate their rules uh but now they're getting headlines because
they have decided to remove thousands of videos and channels that do violate their rules um so
oh wait so they didn't take down the steven crowder shit which is the most like egregious
in your face he's like and he's a gay Mexican.
Yeah.
And saying stuff like really fucking.
I think their defense was something like, oh, it's a debate.
Right.
And it's like, and this looks like a one sided homophobic attack.
Is he in the video?
Is he talking to the actual guy or is he like talking direct to Cameron?
One of those.
He's referencing him.
He's referencing him.
I'm making fun of him.
It's like, I don't know. Who. He's referencing him. He's referencing him and making fun of him. It's like, who is he debating?
Yeah.
His homophobia?
So, I mean, as of this recording, his videos have not been removed.
But, I mean, they specifically said they were not going to remove them
and then said that they were going to remove these other videos that do.
So, I don't know.
The headlines make it seem like it's a progressive move
and it appears to be more of a, oh, you think he's bad?
Well, look at this shit that we're going to have to remove type thing.
So what did get removed?
They haven't said specific channels.
I think it's just they've said that it's going to be like white supremacists and things promoting,
saying that events that happened didn't happen.
So like Sandy Hook conspiracy.
Oh yeah, Holocaust and Nair videos.
What else?
Sandy Hook conspiracy. And who knows, inevitably they'll be like,
can we also take down some Black Lives Matter activist videos?
Because they were like truth talking,
but it makes people at this company uncomfortable.
So we had to take that down. Right. Because we don't want people on the right to think we're just focusing on them because they're on truth talking, but it makes people at this company uncomfortable, so we had to take that down.
Right.
Because we don't want people on the right to think
we're just focusing on them because they're on the bad side.
Let's keep an eye on YouTube
and not quite give them the benefit of the doubt just yet.
What is the official policy, though,
of like that they say this triggers this policy?
Like what is their actual policy?
Like why is if someone wants to do it, as awful as this is, if someone wants to do a video where they're like, I think the Sandy Hook shooting didn't happen and it was all crisis actors.
What about that triggers the policy in a way that what this guy was saying about gay Mexicans isn't triggering?
I have no idea.
It seems like a very inconsistent application of their guidelines.
Because I think also all, you know, we see constantly on these social media platforms or any platform.
The second you're like, yeah, right.
Objectively, a lot of this right wing content is just fucking hateful bullshit that absolutely serves no purpose in our discourse as human beings.
When you take that down, people are like, it's fucking,
you're suppressing our fucking voice.
And they get scared and like,
okay.
Right.
Well,
so then let's just,
okay,
well no,
like no,
do no doing Heil Hitler stuff on camera.
Right.
If you do that,
then that'll get taken up.
If you dog whistle this shit all the time,
then you give us a little more room to fucking act like we don't know what the fuck is going on.
Rather than just being a little more objective about it and be like no this is this is not this personally i would
rather they take down the dog whistle videos rather than the one where it's up front and you
go oh this is easily uh rejectable by the the body of people going on youtube we can literally click
away from this because this is awful but the dog whistle gets dogs barking that's what you don't want you don't want a bunch
of people going you know there's some truth to this whole blobby boop about the holocaust
it's like you've got to get rid of those videos because those actually turn people
it's subtle yeah right because it's subtle enough to be like no i think it's about this other thing
and you're like oh no now i've fully gone into the dark web um There was, so Carlos Mazza, who's the contributor at Vox, he was tweeting at YouTube and was just saying, so, you know, asking YouTube, like, what the fuck is going on?
Their team YouTube Twitter account said, thanks again for taking the time to share all of this information with us.
We take allegations of harassment very seriously.
We know this is important and impacts a lot of people.
Our team spent the last few days conducting an in-depth review of the videos flagged to
us.
And while we found language that was clearly hurtful, the videos as posted don't violate
our policies.
We've included more info below to explain this decision.
So it says, don't post content on YouTube if it's any of the descriptions below.
And it says, content that makes hurt.
That's right there. That's right.
Oh, right.
Right.
First one.
Yeah.
So that's what they wrote to him.
We found language that was clearly hurtful, but the videos didn't violate our policies.
But then when you go on to their harassment and cyber bullying policy, it specifically
says if you're posting content, don't post content on YouTube if it fits any of the descriptions noted below.
Content that makes hurtful and negative personal comments, videos about another person.
Huh.
Huh.
Huh.
Huh.
I guess also by that token, like a lot of Desus and Meryl videos.
Token?
What you mean by token?
Like a lot of Desus and Meryl videos would take it down too.
Oh, shit.
Come at DJ Envy and shit.
Right.
I'm sure DJ Envy would be like, hey, take them shits off.
But yeah, I don't know.
But DJ Envy is not a persecuted minority in the country that needs to actually face bullying.
For sure.
No, but a lot of people think he is.
Yeah, I know.
There are a lot of DJ Envy activists out there who want us to believe. But yeah, again, there's no consistency to how this is used because, again, I'm sure all this right-wing content is another revenue stream for them that they're very aware of.
And they have to do the math on what that means.
So they're bottom line and they're like, well, what are they going to do?
Start using Vimeo? Right. I just wish people would be honest and just say, any content that negatively affects our revenue stream is going to be taken down.
Right.
Any content that promotes revenue stream, no matter how vile or disgusting it is, we're going to keep it up as long as it makes us money.
Just tell me that.
And then I can go, okay, I can live with the consequences of using
YouTube knowing that YouTube is evil.
Yeah, right, right. Just upfront. I do it
with Nike. But they're owned by Google, and Google's
policies don't be evil. It's been a long
time since they've been adhering to that
policy, right?
Guys, let's talk about AirPods.
Do you guys have AirPods?
No. No, I don't have no AirPods.
I'm not doing that well. What are your thoughts on people who, I do have AirPods? no no I don't have no AirPods I'm not doing that well
what are your thoughts
on people who
I do have AirPods
that's a flex
uh huh
do they fall out a lot?
that's all
I just wanted to tell you guys
that's it
you just did the same
just flex on us
that's cool
y'all still using them
while still pushing
that Mazda 3
oh that XM radio
six month preview ran out
oh so it just plays that one preview channel huh okay got it you don't gotta like that Mazda 3? Oh, that XM Radio six-month preview ran out?
Oh, so it just plays that one preview channel?
Huh.
Okay, got it.
You don't got to like that, huh?
They don't fall out, actually.
Oh, okay.
I've said I think the AirPod is the best product Apple's made since the iPhone.
It's pretty, yeah, it's just good.
It's good, and I find myself leaving them in out of laziness, and just i like after i get off a call or when i
stop a podcast or something i just forget to take them out and i always feel lame for doing that
but there's a new article in the atlantic that says that they can actually be a good thing
uh not just for like you know ignoring people who are trying to get you to buy something or sign something or little people being all,
Daddy, play with me, I'm hungry.
But also for women, it's actually an effective way, this one was pointing out, to ignore street harassers.
And people will be less likely to catcall you.
And when they do catcall you, if see that you're uh wearing airpods
they'll be less likely they they won't get their feelings hurt basically if you don't respond to
them like what's up girl looking dummy thick come on oh right oh my what are you listening to oh
forget it okay go go sorry because like that's how the cat caller would do that exactly and
yeah so basically they're right feeling at ease in a public space especially for those who identify
as women can be an impossible balancing act uh that's from a sociology professor at hastings
college uh wearing headphones is just one of the many tactics available to a woman in america going
about her life while trying and at times failing not to be assaulted what a sad resignation of how
shitty men are that you're like you know what one of the best things about airpods is it makes the
the accoster feel okay with their accosting that they won't have their feelings hurt and continue
to it's like no take if some dude is accosting you take those air have their feelings hurt and continue to. It's like, no. If some dude is accosting
you, take those AirPods off and
embarrass his ass and make him look stupid in front
of everybody. Yeah, but the sad thing
is we have people in this world
who, if that did happen, they might
fucking violently attack you.
This is also very true. That's why it's such
a double-edged sword. And I think, I mean, yeah,
this is more of an indictment on
man kind. Men, please stop harassing women. The end. a double-edged sword and i think i mean yeah like this is more of an indictment on man man
please stop harassing women yeah the end all right we've solved it done i'm a cheese thing of the
world but yeah i mean like yeah it is it is sort of in on one hand you're like oh that is interesting
but it's like this is another strategy that that women this is what you're left with or like this
is yeah this is the only thing
it's terrible yeah but this thing in your ear why is it that the airpod though is more effective
than the regular headphones at that or or beats why is beats by dre don't do the same thing could
you imagine they're like i know you hear me because you got beats on yeah i won't be fooled
by your tactic i read the atlantic article and it was only AirPods. The Atlantic article said that people with more-
Wait, I love that.
Wait, hold on.
I love that in this scenario.
This guy reads the Atlantic.
He's a cultured Acosta.
I'm just some regular cat caller.
They specifically bring up more cumbersome headphones
and say that those have been seen as a targeting thing,
like because it's harder to, I guess,
even if you have the no music on or whatever,
it's, I think people assume that you can't hear them
and also you are less likely, like you can't hear as well.
Well, yeah, either way, I mean,
I think it's also on men to fucking,
you hear that shit, you tell another man,
shut the fuck up, my man.
Yes.
How about that?
Yes.
But what if that dude's wearing AirPods?
And then I'll be like, ah.
And then they go, oh, my bad.
I didn't know you was wearing AirPods.
Keep catcalling, my brother.
Keep catcalling.
Sorry, man.
Can't hear you.
Can't hear you.
It's also a great way to hear people say some wild shit when you're like right next to them
because they think you can't hear them.
What do you mean?
You like just sidle up to people's conversations?
This guy's wearing AirPods. I don't think the Holocaust happened. That's right. What do you mean? You like just sidle up to people's conversations? This guy's wearing AirPods.
I don't think the Holocaust happened.
That's right.
What the fuck was that?
Exactly.
The things people say when I have these AirPods in.
All right.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back.

I know I'll go down in history.
People are talking about women's basketball
just because of one single game.
Every great player needs a foil.
I ain't really near them.
Why is that?
I just come here to play basketball every single day,
and that's what I focus on.
From college to the pros,
Clark and Reese have changed the way
we consume women's sports.
Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
She is unapologetically black.
I love her.
What exactly ignited this fire?
Why has it been so good for the game?
And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?
This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.
This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

And we're back.
And during the break, Super Producer Anna Hosnier pointed out that she actually has some experience with wearing AirPods, specifically in New York City.
Well, I mean, for as long as I can remember, even before AirPods, I was always just putting headphones on so no one would speak to me when I was outside.
And it's something, you know, you especially do in New York City because the catcalling is rampant.
But yeah, but sometimes I'll put it on.
I won't even make the effort to put anything on because I'm like, I'm just like walking down the street, but I don't want to be spoken to.
And I don't want anyone to try and interact with me.
But at times that doesn't really stop them.
They will still yell things.
Like one time a guy drove by when I was in Brooklyn, specifically standing outside my friend's apartment.
And I had the headphones in and he still said, I'd bite that ass.
I'd bite that.
I'd bite that ass, which is kind of a funny thing. It's almost like if you would let me, I'd bite that ass. I'd bite that ass. I'd bite that ass. Which is kind of a funny thing.
It's almost like, if you would let me, I would bite that ass.
See, there's still like a question of consent buried in.
These are cultured people.
I'm going to bite that ass.
Right.
I'd bite that ass if, you know.
But there's like a funny thing to kind of hearing those things.
He might have.
I would.
It's a think piece basically
he might have thought you couldn't hear him
and was just commenting to people around him
I'd bite that ass guys
just FYI
I do all of my
cat calling in the subjunctive mood
what is it is it just that
everybody is so close in New York
that makes New York just so?
Yeah, there's just like a lot of people and, you know, just in certain cultures, catcalling isn't necessarily considered, you know, like a bad thing.
Right.
Like some, you know, it just depends. Like context is, you know, very important because in some communities like you can catcall and the woman would be like, oh, my God.
Right. Well, well well well well he's
interested but like macho culture has completely taken over yeah but you know that's you know
that's how it goes like you know i feel like as an american woman born and raised in america
i especially today like you know i'm not always bothered by cat calling because it's so at times
i'm it's not like I don't in any way
take it seriously. I'm just like, okay.
When I was walking the dog the other day,
some guy said, he walked
behind me smoking a huge
blunt on the street,
blew the smoke out in my face, so I was like,
what the fuck? And then he was like,
you are beautiful.
Really? And I was like, this is,
like, what?
You thought I was going to gonna be like oh my god that is so you have just brought me to my knees like i have a kid i'm what
but it's like you just blew smoke in my face that told me i was beautiful so there's just a level of
of absurdity to it that you're like, okay.
Well, there's shit like that,
which I feel like, you know,
that's just an unnecessary compliment from a stranger.
And then people being like,
I would assault you in this manner.
Right, like kind of cackling, like, ooh.
Yeah.
But it's, I mean, it's not necessary,
but I do think, you know,
it depends on the person.
Like, if that's your thing and you
want to be cat called that you shouldn't feel any sort of shame about it but also at the same time
you don't need to be cat calling everyone on the street like it's just not gonna work it's not
gonna be like oh well that one didn't work what about this one i know what i think that's the
question i had period yeah that's the question i've always had i we actually had danny fernandez
on the podcast uh my last podcast to talk about this because she was like just there's that saying that men, when you ask them what they do if they were a woman for a day, they're like, you know, grab my boobs or like something stupid like that.
And women are like, and if you say women, what would you do if you were a man for a day?
They're like run outside with headphones on at night.
Like, you know, things that men take for granted that we can do that women can't because it's unsafe.
You know what I would do?
I would be out here with my opinions and see.
I just want to see how everyone goes, oh, that's so interesting.
Versus like, okay, well, let me stop you there.
Right.
You know?
how everyone goes, oh, that's so interesting.
Versus like, okay, well, let me stop you there.
Right.
You know?
Yeah, yeah. I want to just feel like how if I just said some crazy-ass shit, but with a confident
man's voice to see how seriously people would take me.
Probably very seriously.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Like, sometimes I say things to you all like, Anna.
But if I was like a man like, hey, so this is what I think, assuming that's how I would
stop, you guys might be like, that's so interesting.
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from.
You mean like when you're being like, I think frog butts are cute.
Right.
They are cute, though, when they fry.
Wait, let's do a little experiment real quick.
So say what you just said in that manly tone.
I don't know, you guys.
Sometimes I just think frogs have some cute little butts.
Yo, she got a point, my man.
She got a point.
Shit.
What did you say?
Sometimes I think when you fry a little
frog butt, it's cute.
It's got a nice ass.
Oh my god!
Oh wow!
Oh my god!
Wow.
Coming with the drops.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for reminding us that men have way too much privilege and we're trash.
Yeah.
I also do that trick, by the way, just because I have social anxiety, though, and just don't want to talk to people.
I used to do that all the time when I worked at a bigger office.
Just be like, I'm listening to podcasts as part of my job. Can't talk.
Can't job.
Coworker.
They're like, keep looking at a blinking cursor on a blank Google Doc.
Right. Have you ever done fake phone call where you pretend to be on a phone call?
Oh, yeah. I love a fake phone call.
I do at least one of those a day. In the office.
What's your strategy for a good fake phone call? How do you do it? Because there's a fake phone call. I do at least like one of those a day. In the office. What's your strategy for a good fake phone call?
How do you do it?
Because there's a few I do.
Don't spill the beans because you're talking to coworkers right now.
That's true.
That's true.
Hey, look, I can improv.
You know what I mean?
I can come up with all kinds of scenarios.
The other way you go like this.
Hello?
What?
No, hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
And then walk out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good.
That's a good one.
That's classic. The nah, hold on. Yeah. Is I think a. And then walk out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. That's a good one. That's classic.
The nah, hold on is, I think, a time-honored one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good.
Let's talk about legal weed and Taco Bell.
Yeah.
So Marijuana Biz Daily, the go-to source for news in the marijuana industry,
they were just talking about annual U.S. cannabis sales versus other industries.
And I just want to leave us with this little nugget, right?
Legal, recreational, and medical cannabis in 2018 did somewhere around $10 billion.
Okay.
Taco Bell in 2018, $10.8 billion.
So Taco Bell is going to be eclipsed by legal weed soon, which I feel like it's like a chicken or the egg kind of situation
with those two things.
Yeah.
I feel like you need –
It's like a matching program.
Yeah.
401K matching.
Exactly.
I don't know what that is, but I like that.
But what they're saying is by 2020, it will pass the revenue of the NFL.
Oh, wow.
Which is at $15 billion.
$15 billion.
And which also bans its players from
using weed, which I think is stupid.
Yeah, just let them get high.
I mean, was Ricky Williams
that good because he smoked weed?
I mean, just imagine
if he didn't. I can't
even wrap my head around the fact that that dude was
high all the time putting up those numbers.
These numbers are pretty crazy.
But again, let's say 2023 that uh it could exceed americans collective spending on gym memberships which is
around 28 billion all right so this is like this goes nfl 15 billion online food delivery 17 gym
membership 26 billion pizza 45. Total demand for it.
So that's part of the study.
But then wine, $72 billion.
Oh, fuck.
Yo, what the fuck?
What about coffee, though?
What's coffee?
Is that on the list?
Coffee is not.
No.
Fortnite, only $2.4 billion.
Fortnite only makes $2.4 billion.
Get your fucking numbers up.
Fortnite.
e-cigs, $3.6 billion.
I don't know why they put goldfish crackers as the lowest one. $0.4 billion. Get your fucking numbers up. E-cigs, $3.6 billion. I don't know why they put goldfish crackers as the lowest one, $0.9 billion.
But good to know.
Great snack.
This person just has some sort of beef with goldfish.
Right.
Stunting on Pepperidge Farm.
Fuck y'all.
I hate chess, man.
But they're saying if you actually think about what the actual, including the black market,
what the actual demand is in the black market, what the actual demand is
like in the United States.
They think it's somewhere
around 50 and 60 billion.
Right.
So it's around pizza,
pizza numbers.
It's doing pizza numbers?
So pizza,
weed,
and wine are like.
Wine,
man,
can't touch wine.
I think also because
there are bottles
that are so expensive.
It's different where like
cannabis is,
you know,
why am I calling it cannabis?
Fuck it,
the weed,
you know,
the tree is only going to get cheaper as it becomes legal.
And when you think about what the ingredients are to grow,
it's less like what it is for wine that you age and stuff like that.
You're never going to be like,
oh, this is a vintage San Fernando Valley, 2008 vintage OG Kush.
They're going to try.
They'll try and I will laugh.
There's definitely going to be a place that tries to do something like that.
Wine is just all about marketing man
because it's just it just got that reputation for being like a high class way to get fucked up
and that's man people really fell for that shit let me ask you a question about that
yeah eggs and bacon when do you eat them morning yeah that's not that shouldn't be the case
eggs and bacon was yeah as a breakfast food was a marketing ploy.
Big bacon.
Big bacon and big egg came together.
Well, not anymore.
Now that the egg industry has introduced their marketing campaign for dinner eggs,
they're trying to get out of that.
It's a sad video.
We were about to talk about it like nine out of ten episodes the last two weeks,
but we just kept punting it.
This isn't a bit.
This is for real.
No, this is for real.
There's a thing from the egg, the incredible edible egg.
But it was like this lame mockumentary that was like, and I noticed my egg-laying hens were laying eggs at night.
And I was like, well, what are we going to do with these extra eggs?
And we're like, dinner eggs.
Yeah.
And they're like, try dinner eggs.
Wait a second.
Extra eggs?
That's the dumb.
I don't need extra eggs for dinner.
I got the eggs in my refrigerator for breakfast that I could just make at night.
That's the logic they're using, though.
Oh, Lord.
You need these dinner eggs.
And also, if you're really egg gang, you're going to eat them shits whenever you want to eat them.
So I don't need this fucking thing to tell me, wait, I could eat them at night?
I'm still going to make them when I have to make dinner.
I'm just going to feel bad about it.
When I have to make dinner.
Yeah, that's the real thing.
I don't want to keep eating hard fried eggs.
Can you scramble them?
Don't know how to do it.
But do you think if wine was illegal, people would be like dealing wine?
Well, there was a period of our history where that was the case.
Didn't they just deal like liquor? They didn't deal with wine. It was liquor, beer our history where that was the case. Yeah, but didn't they just deal liquor?
They didn't deal wine.
It was liquor, beer, and wine.
All that alcohol.
Man, wine.
Wine's just so much more popular than I realized.
What about pizza?
If pizza was illegal, do you think people would deal pizza?
Fuck yes.
There'd be, yes, they would.
But you know what it is?
It's one of those things, though, you could figure out how to make it yourself.
Like, I wouldn't, if pizza became illegal, I would figure out how to fin it yourself like i wouldn't if pizza became illegal i would figure out how to finesse it myself right unless someone has like the fire you know wood fired oven and
you're like yo it's perfect damn he flew it in from italy and only 14 people get to eat from it
a week the wine industry figured some shit out man well you know and well fuck i i wonder how
much the rose boom fucking helped that out
because now everything is rosé and it's all trash.
Wine drinkers are suckers.
No, I love wine.
Do you?
I drink a bottle a day.
Do you really?
Wow.
Good for you.
Keep the doctor very close to you.
A bottle a day keeps the doctor right by me.
Me and my doctor have a great rapport.
I like when I got to go see him. Dr. Livingston. It's a great rapport. I like when I gotta go see him.
Dr. Livingston.
It's a bottle of wine I get from 7-Eleven.
I like a nice glass of
Gruner, some white Austrian
wine.
You are classy, man.
I want a nice pairing.
Oh, yes, yes.
I don't like red wine.
I pair my shitty red yellowtail Cabernet
with basketball.
There you go.
That's my style.
So you just chew on a basketball?
I just eat a raw ball.
Basketball.
A deflated Spalding.
A sad Spalding sliver.
But that's the thing is that it hasn't penetrated any markets except for rich people food pairing.
Like any markets except for like rich people food like pairing.
Like it's not like it's ever advertised as like to go with the NBA like finals have this glass of wine.
Yeah.
Well, that's why I'm so surprised why it's like so big, but it's so specific. It seems like.
Yeah.
Well, because it's it's just.
Yeah.
I mean, I wonder what beer does.
Yeah.
Like because it is one of those things.
Yeah.
You have for a more elevated experience. You drink wine. Right. Like, because it is one of those things. Yeah, for a more elevated experience,
you drink wine.
Right.
You know,
like let's have rosé time.
Let's have brunch.
You know,
weed is,
they got to work
on their marketing more.
Right.
You know?
Now that's scary though.
NBA Finals presented by Backwoods.
In an amazing way,
if weed is doing
this good of business
without this marketing push,
it would,
imagine,
imagine how much it'll do.
Imagine the profits.
One thing, though, that was interesting, they said California actually underperformed compared
to what the industry projections were.
Oh.
And I think that's because in California, we're so disillusioned.
When it became legal, we're like, oh, okay.
We're like, yeah, thank you.
I don't know anybody in california who wasn't already
smoking weed right well like and i get in other states where it's been so vilified and like been
like oh you get arrested why people then line up like around the block to go you know buy their
first joint because it's so sort of you know exotic whereas i think here it's just part of the
landscape okay this makes me feel a little bit less blown away.
So we're just all alcoholics because the overall beer market per year is $114 billion.
Yeah, there we go.
What about spirits?
Yeah, let me look up spirits.
I'm sure that's a whole-
But yeah, it's all just we like alcohol.
It's not-
Yeah, that's why I'm like, yo, just relax.
Nobody's going to start smoking more weed than drinking because-
Well, wait, what's the porn
numbers
for revenue
it can't be that huge
it's in the billions
I'm sure it's in the billions
it used to be huge
but it cratered
the internet
fucked that up
because you didn't
have to buy tapes anymore
but the ad space
on like
sites
but it's all driving
to other porn sites
yeah
it's not like
I haven't seen like
a Buick lacCrosse ad.
I might buy more cars
if I saw it on Pornhub.
Hold on, Brazzers, pause.
Buick LaCrosse?
Wait, what kind of APR? Fuck.
I'm gonna have to put this bottle down.
You are a marketing genius.
Yeah, shit. Just fucking hit him with that.
So Distilled Spirits was only
27.5 bills.
Oh.
So much lower than beer and wine.
So, all right, shout out to Americans for convincing themselves
that they're drinking in moderation.
We like a cheap, affordable high.
Well, yeah, now, you know, all the nihilism that's going around.
Right.
Why not just fucking get smashed?
There you go.
going around, why not just fucking get smashed?
There you go.
And finally, this is big news for just
shady dudes, I guess.
Oh, come on now. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
So this, I don't know, this is
one of those, this feels
like the Doritos Locos Taco
from Taco Bell
of
gaming? I don't know. Of two brands I'm not that familiar with. Taco from Taco Bell of gaming.
I don't know.
Of two brands I'm not that familiar with.
But Miles, you explain why.
Well, Lynx.
Now, if you live in the UK or Australia and New Zealand,
you know it as their version of Axe body spray, body wash.
They call it Lynx over there.
They are doing a collaboration.
Lynx body spray are doing a line of deodorants, body spray, shampoo, body wash, all that shit with Microsoft for an Xbox-themed line of Lynx products.
And I know you look, yep, Lucas looks very confused.
And when you look at the packaging, look at that.
I mean, they did a good job making the bottles look like they're Xbox.
Like it's an Xbox.
And in my mind, I already associate things like Lynx and Axe with Xbox.
Like, in my mind, that's the smell of gaming people who don't like to bathe
and just hit you real quick with that.
Xbox.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Jack, come on now.
Giving away free fucking advice.
Yeah, you just gave away a billion dollar market.
Yeah.
Fuck. And so I was like, when I was curious, what does this smell like? No? Giving away free fucking advice. Yeah, you just gave away a billion dollar market. Yeah. Oh, fuck.
And so I was like, when I was curious, what does this smell like?
They say the Lynx Xbox scent is, quote, described as a fresh scent of pulsing green citrus featuring
top notes of kefir, lime, and winter lemon, aromatic herbal middle notes of mint and sage,
and woody bottom notes of patchouli and clear wood.
I like how they are really giving you those fucking.
I used to work at the Coach store, and I remember when the Coach perfume first came out,
we had to have this whole fucking training on how to describe this shit to customers,
and it was all this top note, middle note.
I'm like, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.
Can I just go in the back and box shit up? Why are they listing scents of that nature to a clientele that does not give a shit about those specifics?
Right.
When you're 360 no scoping, you think you're going to be like, well, hold on.
Patchouli and Clearwood?
Okay then.
Patchouli makes sense because I feel like that's the OG scumbag scent.
People who rocked out a bunch of patchouli oil.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that just me? a bunch of patchouli oil. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that just me?
That was like more like hippies.
70s, yeah, yeah.
But growing up, I remember like a lot of my parents' friends,
like the 80s, still smelled like patchouli.
What the fuck?
I was always like, yo, that dude smells like weird-ass wood garbage.
People in the marketing industry, marketing industry zeitgang,
let me know what it is about the letter X that these brands have figured out.
Because Xbox begins and ends with X's.
Lynx has an X in it.
Axe is basically an X word.
Go on.
What else?
All those extreme products from the 90s, they're all aimed at the same demographic.
Was it the x games
that did it yeah well the x games like it's just everything x men you know i mean our malcolm x
right malcolm x was clearly a marketing creation x right solve for x fucking teenage boys love I love our algebraic expressions. Solve for X. Solve for X.
That shit got me early.
But is there something about that sound, or is it just the sight?
I feel like it must have coincided.
I feel like there was a huge wave, because what?
Extreme.
Were we doing X shit before 92?
No, I think it was like 92, somebody just figured that out.
I feel like around around when did we really
like cause there are things
that just haven't
like X-Men obviously
that's been around
that's not necessarily
a function of like
a marketing
you know fad
but like
I feel like the X games
Generation X
right
maybe that whole shit
I think Gen X
probably started it
that's the start of it
cause then Gen X
was like a huge
consumer block too
right
like they're gen x
they're gen next pepsi generation next yeah i don't know i'm sure somebody's done a study on
like what the fuck we so let us know shout out shout out marketing zeitgang uh lucas it's been
awesome having you man where can people find you uh you can find me on instagram with my very
lacking follower base uh at lucas zachary haslam but you can also really primarily catch me on Instagram with my very lacking follower base at Lucas Zachary Haslam.
But you can also really primarily catch me on the Lifetime show American Princess, which is airing every Sunday at 9 o'clock.
Damn, every funny person is in that show.
Yeah, that show's really funny and really good.
Really?
I just keep hearing people I love on podcasts saying that they're in that show.
I just keep hearing people I love on podcasts saying that they're in that show.
It's like they hired just a ton of people who are in comedy communities in both New York, Chicago, and I said both, but in Chicago, New York, L.A.
So it's got a lot of familiar fans. What's the premise of the show?
So it takes place at a Ren Faire, and the premise is that a young woman, an upper-class Jewish woman, is about to get married.
An upper class Jewish woman is about to get married.
Her husband, her fiance, she catches him getting his dick sucked right before they get married.
So she runs off and, you know, falls into a Ren Faire.
And she meets a bunch of crazy characters, one of whom I play.
Hey.
I play a mud beggar.
A mud beggar.
Are you a Ren Faire dude?
in real life?
yeah I actually went to the Ren Faire
this past
like maybe
two months ago
and I was
legitimately blown away
I
was like
this is not
a world
that I'd ever thought
like people
like the whole reenactment
and LARPing
and all that
is beyond me
and when I went
I was like
holy shit you can totally lose yourself in this world.
And I absolutely see why people do it.
Yeah.
I hear, man.
I remember I used to grow up going to the Ren Faire a lot.
Me too.
And I, in Ohio?
Mm-hmm.
Go to the Labyrinth Festival?
What?
I don't know.
Okay, this is some shit I found out.
When I went to the Ren Faire, because you know when you go, a lot of the people dressed
up are fucked up.
They're all drunk and stoned.
And wild and everyone's
rocking the old bustier type
shit. And one dude, I was
just like, yo, is everyone just drunk?
He's like, yeah. One of the dudes dressed up.
And I was like, because he was working.
I'm like, so do you just travel with this thing?
He's like, yeah, some people do. Some people just show up.
But there's a camp at night and he's like, it goes off at night. And do you just travel with this thing? He's like, yeah, some people do. Some people just show up. He's like, but there's like a camp at night.
And he's like, it goes off at night.
And it's just like bacchanalia.
And all of those themes are explored in fun ways in the show.
American Princess.
Yeah.
Man, I can't wait to check it out.
Oh, so there's that whole like swinger vibe.
Because I'm sure, is that present in the show too?
Well, the creator of the show, Jamie Denbo, used to work at a Ren Faire.
And she worked at a place Faire, and she worked
at a place called Sterling Festival,
which was in upstate New York.
And so she wanted to make this show
that, like, honored
how cool and
communal this world
was. And so
everything that's in the show is in
some way, shape, or form inspired
by the experiences she went through when she was performing in this Ren Faire.
Got you.
So we get into all kinds of fun, goofy shit.
Love it.
Yeah, Jamie Dembo was on couples therapy with her husband, with John Ross Bowie.
Is that her husband, John Ross Bowie?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, shit.
He's in the show, too.
Damn.
They got everybody.
They got everybody, man.
Fucking Elle Woods. If you're funny, you're going to be in the show. damn everybody they got everybody man basically if you're funny you're
gonna be in the show come to the rent and rent fair i mean we were talking about how renfrews

Oh, shit. I haven't. I did not ask you if you like to tweet. How rude of me. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Wait, did you say you like to tweet? Oh, shit.
I haven't.
I did not ask you if you like to tweet.
How rude of me.
I got so distracted.
I don't normally use Twitter, but a friend of mine, I posted something on Instagram,
on an Insta story.
Yeah, Instagram.
Well, I was trying to make a point about how I think straight pride parades that are popping
up all over are stupid and why they're stupid.
And the point I made accidentally made it sound like I was saying pride is stupid.
So he sent me this tweet.
It was Ava Victor at Ava and her IUD.
Oh, yeah.
At Ava and her IUD.
Yeah, yeah.
That video?
Yeah, that video where she said me explaining to my boyfriend why we're going to Straight Pride.
And it's a video of her just being hilarious
about why this is the dumbest thing
that people can do.
She definitely caught away with like those
me explaining why videos
or like me mullering during a lunch order
or whatever.
Yeah, I saw that video and I was just like,
ah, that's how I should have done that.
That's the way to have gone about this
more clearly and concisely and funnily.
So big ups to Ava and her IUD.
And her IUD.
Miles, where can people find you?
Find me, follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey.
Is there a tweet I've been liking?
Is there?
Are they going to ask me?
Yeah.
Okay, well, let's go for it.
I like a couple.
One is, first of all, it's the most fucking local LA meme shit, so I'm sorry. If you're not from the LA area, you will not get this.
But it's a side-by-side with, it says the Americana and the Galleria, which are both malls in Glendale.
The Americana is a newer mall.
The Galleria is like the OG, just kind of janky rundown one.
But side-by-side is the opening, the logo for A24 Films and Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
That's a deep cut.
You have to know movies and Glendale to get that.
I'm sorry.
That's from at Americana Memes.
Thank you for that.
One other thing.
Thank you.
And then another one.
There was this guy, Phil.
Who is the person who did this?
This guy, Phil, who's pretty chill.
At Pretty Good Phil did this. Photoshopped a picture of Pete Buttigieg.
And it says, Pete Buttigieg after losing the nomination.
And he's got bleached blonde hair.
And then this other woman, Joan Summers, quote tweeted that.
And it says, he looks like a fader intern named Josh that kneels in front of dirty mirrors to show off his fake Balenciagas with the angel emoji as the caption.
Jesus Christ.
That's not even written.
That's a fucking, I don't know who she was talking about, but that's a direct shot at you, favorite interns.
Brooks Otterlake tweeted, it's a brick and mortar business.

We do not have a physical store.
