You know what I mean? But I'm not saying we got to go to Benihana right now. See, I would leave right now to do that. To go to Benihana?
Starting point is 00:03:09 Yeah. Well, look, that's a trip I'm willing to take. Can we do that next time? Benihana is a place for people who have horrible children. You're never going to see a good child in Benihana. Everybody's kids are awful. It's like where you take bad kids. You have bad kids.
Starting point is 00:03:23 You take them there. There's never anyone younger than teenagers when I'm there. You hope some of the fire gets on the kids. They're like, my child's eyebrows were singed. I want someone to throw shrimp in my mouth, and I want them to make that Pac-Man joke when they're making the rice and stuff. Oh, yep, yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Well, for me, it's all about the volcano with the onion rings. Oh, hell yeah. You know, and then they make it steam out of the little onions. I do think it's a good place to go with somebody that you don't really want to talk to. Because then there's like a whole entertainment happening during dinner and you don't really have to make any conversation. I've met several real nice families, too, because you're always sitting next to them. Well, I guess, where are most of your Benihana experiences? Is that in Texas?
Starting point is 00:04:04 Is that in L.A.? Is that in New York? I've been to one Benihana experiences is that in texas is that in la is that in new york i've been to one benihana and it was in college in pittsburgh and honestly it's like if that was it for you it's like if you take the subway but you gotta eat with everybody you sit with on the subway like i don't want to eat with everybody on the subway it's like if i was on the train and somebody was like it's showtime but then they start cooking shrimp yeah please clear out the way please move out the way
Starting point is 00:04:27 move out the way we gotta get the grill in here move out the way it's showtime that sounds amazing who doesn't want shrimp cooked for them while they're waiting

Starting point is 00:04:41 fucking delicious and fun we're all going Lacey I don't care what you say what would you do if someone took you on a first date to benihana lacy oh my god i could already see just the way you're like benihana no but imagine someone you're like oh okay this person might be worth going on a date with and they're like yeah i'm gonna pick you up you know we'll go somewhere nice and then you pull up to fucking benny fucking hana well i don't think you should pitch it as somewhere
Starting point is 00:05:05 nice. You should be like, you want to have a fun night? You're right. Someone said nice, I'd be mad. If you say we're going to do something random, then I'd be like, okay, I understand why we're here. No, I'm saying what is your take on someone who looks at Benny Hanna and goes
Starting point is 00:05:22 this is the height of refinement. I think that we truly just have so much that is not in common that this relationship would never work oh okay like we would pull up to the benihana's and i'd be like oh my god i have to go to the bathroom and you call it uber real quick you're like okay um hold on and then guess who gets out of the uber behind her it's sophia she's like what's up this sounds like a dope time you're also yeah shrimps tossed at anyone you're also eating solo and you spot her like ghosted date from across i just sit with him i was like what's up bro you want to chill hey you eat solo here too he's like no i just got ghosted, basically.
Starting point is 00:06:05 She just took off. Honestly, that would not be the first time that that happened at a Benihana. I'm sure there's lots of solo people who are supposed to have dates who are now eating alone. That makes me so sad. I want me and 2 Chainz to rescue everyone eating alone at Benihana. I know. He should get a deal from Rocky Aoki. I can't believe they won't sponsor him.
Starting point is 00:06:23 That's ridiculous. That's Steve Aoki's dad so much good did you know that who started that really started benny hana yes rocky aoki i didn't know that yep devin aoki and steve aoki their their their house of cards is coming tumbling down they didn't do it off merit their dad created fucking benny hana okay that's like all the actresses and actors that are i say actors for everyone but that are coming out and other people like this person is coming out of nowhere and then you find out their parents are insanely famous yeah yeah exactly star of euphoria mod apatow what what
Starting point is 00:06:56 oh that apatow damn uh what's a myth caleb What's something that people get wrong? That money can't buy happiness. Every time I've gotten money, I feel so much better than right before it happened. And it literally, all the things I like, it gets for me. Wow. I don't understand what the problem is. Does it? Margaritas and sitting by the pool.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Margaritas. My phone bill. I can't even talk to my loved ones without money. Right. A Scarface CD. You got to have a Scarface. Weed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:31 You know what I mean? Yeah, money's great. Well, how long does that last for? The money happiness. You said right before it feels better than right before you got it, and then you get it, and then how long can you ride that for? Until it runs out. Then once more, when money runs out, it's bad.
Starting point is 00:07:48 It's bad. And then when it comes back? Great. Great. So, honestly, that to me seems like the, that's the key to life. Is money. Yeah. Yeah, that's weird, because a lot of these people are so focused on, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:59 don't tie your happiness to something so external, like money and the objects that it brings. Yeah. And that's just bullshit. and the objects that it brings. Yeah. And that's just bullshit. But you'll die without it. Yeah, exactly. So you got... Get money. My parents were very...
Starting point is 00:08:10 Sleep and money. Realist. Like, my dad's a preacher and stuff, so they taught me all that. But their main thing was, like, they're like, you need money badly. So go... Like, Jesus is tight, too, but... Get a job, and it's going to be hard. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah. So I have money. The father, son, and the whole credit score. You know what I mean? Make sure them things are right. is tight too get a job and it's gonna be hard like right yeah the father son and the whole credit score you know what I mean make sure them things are right oh yeah credit score oh my god do you have a good credit score
Starting point is 00:08:31 no way it's good oh you haven't even checked that's the that's the attitude of someone who's not even bothering to look yeah there's no way it's good
Starting point is 00:08:39 there's no way there's no way I checked a couple weeks ago it was fair oh okay I wanna be so rich like I want to be so rich. Like, I just want to be so fucking rich. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah. And then what? I don't know. Like, my life is good. So, like, my life is good. You just want to turbocharge it with some cash? Without being rich. So I can't even imagine the heights I will soar to.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I can't. It'll be so crazy. You just, you cure cancer. Okay, what are three, first three things, you're a billionaire overnight.
Starting point is 00:09:10 What are your first three things? The really, the things I care, I want to sit first class. I am tired of just like being cramped all the fucking time. I want to eat at any restaurant. The main thing I care about is restaurants and pasta.
Starting point is 00:09:26 And then I'll have a personal trainer so my body will be so fucking sick even though I'm eating more than I ever have in my life. Oh my God. And that's about it, really. Pasta, personal trainer, and first class. Yeah, that's it. I just like immediately, to be a billionaire,
Starting point is 00:09:42 it's first class. Yeah, I want to sit first class. Wait, you're asking me the three things I would do? Yeah, what are your three? If I, or buy. I'm simple. I would buy, I would probably buy a Nissan Skyline GTR. Is that a sponsor of the podcast?
Starting point is 00:09:57 No, this is a car I love. I'd buy a Casper. An R34. It's a wrap. I would buy a car. I would buy an old Chevelle and try and make an actual pod racer from Star Wars with it using jet engines. It's from an article I read in Electronic Gaming Monthly from 1998. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Oh, my God. What else? And then, honestly, I would probably just travel. Yeah. I would always, you know, there's probably, I mean, if I had that money, the first thing I would do was just board a jet and find my way to the hills of Tuscany, a place that is already like heaven. And in a way, even without the billions of dollars, I feel like I am.
Starting point is 00:10:38 So I feel a little conflicted. Do I need the money? Anyway. Wait, also not to make myself sound like the incredible hero that I am, but I would get all my friends and people these incredible gifts they would be so psyched about. I would just buy someone a car, and they'd be like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:11:00 And I'd be like, yeah, bitch, I did that. I think I would just do that. I would spend a little money and then give it all away because billionaires are fucking illegal so how about that that's right i i reject the premise of your question oh here we go miles morals yeah i would hold a big as i say it from my castle in tuscany get the fuck away i because there's only like 2 000 billionaires on earth uh i would hold a big meeting with a big theater. I'd be like gathering of the billionaires and then I'd burn it to the ground while everyone was in it.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Oh, so you'd be like Khaleesi, basically how she had all the calls in that tent and was like, guess what? It's a fucking fire party. But I would want to live so I could be the only billionaire. Yeah, but you would come out, but you would invest in your suit so you could emerge from the flames similar to Daenerys.
Starting point is 00:11:42 No, he started this and then it turned out it was Machiavellian the whole time. Who's that? You. Machiavellian? Yeah. What'd he do? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Well, you know, before we get into that, we'll get you a copy of The Prince. Tupac. Nice. His name is Tupac, actually. Shaquille O'Neal, you know's he's been doing some work with Papa John's ever since the original Papa John was just
Starting point is 00:12:08 ran out on a rail because of his you know racist hot takes yeah he was doing racism to people I mean yeah I don't even call them hot takes
Starting point is 00:12:15 just fucking racism they're not even hot or new or fresh just like the pizza it's stale ass racism just like the pizza with too much fucking sugar racism delivered to you
Starting point is 00:12:24 in 30 minutes or less or less it's called Twitter and to you in 30 minutes or less or less um it's called twitter and it's actually 30 seconds or less um but so shaq put out this video on his twitter i'm not even gonna play it because it's just it's exhausting um it's meant to look like like shh it's shaq i'm in a papa john's poor me they're not, they don't call me. So he's all whispering and shit. And it's the most obvious ad I've ever seen, right? But again,
Starting point is 00:12:50 okay, let's pretend Shaq, you're not in a bubble. The largest black man ever is in your boardroom. Then he's like. Also, I was just imagining like how big the iPad was. He filmed on it.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Cause his face was like so close to it. Right. He's got such a big face. I think he was just holding a MacBook Pro. He just like has like a giant screen. the 45 and older selfie hold. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:08 when it's this close. It's so close. I'm like, y'all just pull the arm out. I keep telling them to pull the arm out. Or if you ever get an older like ride share driver,
Starting point is 00:13:16 like a Lyft or Uber driver, everybody got the low angle murderer face shot. Woo. Yeah. You gotta give classes to the elderly. What if it's not
Starting point is 00:13:24 because they can't? Well, 45's not elderly, but. But they're the elderly. What if it's not because they can't? What if I'm not elderly? But they're basically dead. What if it's not because... I'm too close to that. Let's kick that up a notch. Let's call that a 79. Honestly, it's like 63. That's when you still were around
Starting point is 00:13:39 for technology, but you missed the selfie wave. I just like being technically now approaching my mid-30s where now I'm kicking the you miss the selfie way i just like being like in my like technically now or approaching my mid-30s where now i'm like kicking the can down the road of like what i think is old right because now i realize too when i say we say shit about like boomers or gen xers on the show they're like hey man we're still cool i'm like yeah you probably are right but that's me the same way i hear like just like i'll meet some gen z kid and they're like yeah i was five when
Starting point is 00:14:03 you were talking about this thing you're talking about. I'm like, shut the fuck up. When I turned 21, I was like, damn, I'm 21. I'm an OB. I'm not a teenager no more. And then I turned 28 and I was like, oh, okay, no. Now I hang on to you so deeply.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Yeah, right? With every ounce of your being. I drink like coconut water as regular water now. Wash your face with it? Oh, yeah. That's my secret. And just like bathe in it.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I'm like stocking up. We're lucky. We all got that nice melanin in our skin. I think we're going to stay beautiful looking. But I'm trying to back it up. I'm doing moisturizers on top and creams and injections. Oh, so you got the backup hard drive and time machine and iCloud running. You're backing everything up.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will start injections soon, but not right now. No, you better not. I'm going to go to a good doctor. I know you're lying. I'm going to go to Angela Bansky. Y'all ain't even gonna know did she go did she have work done honey don't tell me that dude men are so dumb okay like literally like this guy was talking about this girl and he was like her lips are so beautiful i'm like those are they're injections
Starting point is 00:14:58 no no no i have to push back on that because I'm pretty good at spotting obvious plastic surgery. No, no, no. Angela Bassett, though. If you look at Angela Bassett, she's not fucking around. She's not. Her lips didn't get like big or anything. She's just her face has remained. She probably went to whoever's doing the Kardashians.
Starting point is 00:15:19 She got a very subtle. You know what I mean? It's like so smooth. OK, hold on. The Kardashians are like way more obvious. I was trying to talk about fucking papa johns i just forgot that i was we've where i'm like where the fuck are we okay shaquille o'neal okay shaquille o'neal the point being despite that wonderful road we took everyone's lit ass plastic surgery and us convincing lacy not to get plastic surgery. Yeah, you're beautiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yeah, I'm gonna be like robotically beautiful. I'm cheating. She's cheating. I'm cheating. I'm gonna be like her, just the voice eventually. Yeah, she's like,
Starting point is 00:15:56 no, you don't need to see my face. It's about a vibe. Lacey is a vibe. I'm the character of the city. Lacey's an experience. But Shaquille O'Neal. L.A.C.I. Okay, did Shaquille O'Neal
Starting point is 00:16:04 have work done or not yes or no here we go uh he has i mean a little deep set lines but i think you know that comes with age but he was so in this video he's saying he's at this secret board meeting he's unveiling like a secret new or like i'm gonna test test test this all this new thing and you don't know what the fuck is going on he's just like remember papadilla so he's saying he's pointing to a thing on a table and they're calling it a papadilla and when you look at it it looks like the shape of a quesadilla you know like but it's basically a folded in half pizza cut like a fucking quesadilla but also they spelled papadilla p-a-p-a-d-i-a instead of
Starting point is 00:16:41 you know i think maybe just because of the previous leadership at the company, they didn't want to venture into. I don't know. So they're going to like appropriate it without calling it. Yeah. I think you're doing a white appropriation of it, which tells me the racism is still going on. Because if you're going to steal the via, then take the via and put the ia in the papadia. Yeah, put the ia in there. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:17:02 Like, don't play with us. The thing is, I'm more upset that it's a motherfucking folded in half pizza just cut fucking differently. That's a calzone. But even then. Come on, you know we live in the age of reboots, okay? We rebooting Cinderella. We rebooting Little Mermaid. We rebooting pizza, okay?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Pizza folded in half. I want an all donut reboot of the pizza d i don't even yeah uh again could be great might not be we'll never know we're probably gonna eat it one night i mean i can't they will never know like oh really i'm sure someone will try you care about your health oh my bad my bad i'll try it i don't know i don't but i have yeah i love taco bell And Taco Bell is health food. Let's be real. Here's my main issue with the video, though. Certain angles of people, like Shaquille O'Neal is in this video.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I'm talking about the Papadio way, okay? And the angle of it makes me feel like I know what it's like to have sex with Shaquille O'Neal, and I don't like that. Oh, right. Because he's all in your face. It's like a man on top of you, like, huh, huh, huh. And I don't like that. It's like POV from a woman's perspective
Starting point is 00:18:06 of what she hates. It's like the only porn category that's not been searched. Nightmare POV porn? No, but then you compared it to that generation's selfies and now I'm thinking about my dad's selfies. Yeah, and that's what your mom sees.
Starting point is 00:18:23 That's what your mom saw. Ruined forever. Welcome to Nightmares with Lacey. Let's get into something that gives me a boner, and that's sandwich artists. Okay, so recently, apparently, there's a thing called the sub-jam or something, sub-jammers. Basically, sandwich artists and people like Sub subway employees from across the globe gather for this like annual event and this year it was just wild to see there's a video basically of uh sandwich artists from look the u.s canada france germany singapore south korea and the UK they met in Toronto to basically see who could like put
Starting point is 00:19:08 together like a turkey sandwich like the quickest and properly and it was just I didn't even know this was like a thing that they did but as someone who is a how should I say this I preach the gospel of subway tuna yeah that's my shit I was a little pissed that they were using turkey, but I get it because there were some people I was seeing how they folded the turkey. It was not very good. But the winner, just so you know, America's still on top. Sarah Teagues from Pullman, Washington, also claimed the title back in 2017. Last year was second place.
Starting point is 00:19:39 So I think she's a go. I think we're going to have to get it. Get it, Sarah. Bring that home to America. So is Sarah working at a Subway currently? Yes. For two years, she's crushing go. I think we have to get it. Sarah, bring that home to America. Working at a subway. Currently. Yes. For two years.
Starting point is 00:19:48 She's crushing it. Oh, where she was three. At least three. She was like, if you want my custom knives, she's making sandwich inspired cocktails. Oh,
Starting point is 00:19:59 I mean, I was a little bit of tuna on the side. I didn't come out with her own bread. Like this is not made from yoga mats. Oh, you're the second person to bring that up. I think we talked about that yesterday, too. Oh, really? About the yoga mats and the bread.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Oh, why is everybody upset about that? What's wrong with a little namaste? Yeah, a little yoga mat. Look, if the bread's fluffy, fuck it. Namaste, fool, though. Okay. Yeah, the thing that I wish they did, again, I always bring this up, is the U-Gouge, is how they used to cut them shits in the 90s, when rather than splitting it down the
Starting point is 00:20:31 side and opening it, they used to just cut out like a U-shaped top that they would just lay upon top the sandwich. But again, it's 2019, I guess things move on, and I'm still stuck in my old ways. But, you know, I just wanted to bring this up. I don't even know why. I feel like a you gouge is like a scam though because then they're just giving you mostly bread, right? Because they just like cut out a little bit of the bread.
Starting point is 00:20:54 What do you mean? You still got the same amount of bread either way. You can't add bread. What do you mean? No, I mean like... No, she's saying like space-wise because then it's like skinnier. Oh, oh. You're not leaving she's saying like. Space wise. Because then it's like skinnier. Wait. Oh, oh. You're not leaving enough room for the toppings. Well, they, I mean, look, depending, I don't know who your sandwich artist was.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Mine was Robert. We called him the Picasso of Studio City. Shout out Robert from Studio City. He's very chill. He's now the manager. But the Yu Gao Zhen, it was plenty of space for the sandwich to be balanced. But I know what you mean. Like if you just literally did this like little mohawk strip out the thing. Yeah, it was plenty of space for the sandwich to be balanced. But I know what you mean. Like, if you just literally did this, like, little mohawk strip out the thing, it's like. Yeah, that's not good.
Starting point is 00:21:29 That's how I would sell sandwiches. Right. Scammer. Yes. Yes, yeah. Like, oh, only three slices of turkey fit in there? I mean, look at the bread. I mean, where am I going to put it?
Starting point is 00:21:38 You see what I'm doing here, okay? Yeah. Look, you can look right through the glass. You saw what it was when I was making it. I didn't go back there and shrink the sandwich. You can also go do downward dog on it. The lettuce is free. One thing that I wish is Sarah Teagues from Pullman, Washington.
Starting point is 00:21:55 If you have won twice now and you came runner up last year, why aren't you the fucking manager? I hope she's a manager. I don't know. But I feel like at that point, if you're already the top sandwich artist like there has to be some kind of wild promotion opposite ways on that i was like what happened in that year in between that she didn't take it but you're like oh you had the immigrant mom take on that yeah i'm like why the minus oh so right so you won so you won in 2017 but you came runner up in 2018 and you won this year
Starting point is 00:22:22 i told you you lost your focus and you weren't taking it seriously right were you just thought because you won one time he was about to pull up to the sandwich competition it's gonna be all bread exactly gotta stay sharp it's the sandwich game you act like we don't remember ja rule's second album the sophomore jinx we what's crazy is if i won the sandwich competition i was working at subway you wouldn't be able to tell me shit i would be on break constantly could you imagine if you worked at Subway but I guess what if your manager said Lacey
Starting point is 00:22:50 I want to enter you in the sub jam this year and you're going to go to Toronto to compete yeah that's fucking dope absolutely and then when I come back if I won I'm flexing on everybody I'd be like no Tracy you can't have a break I'm going out I'm the sandwich queen you see that picture of me on the wall I'm like, no, Tracy, you can't have a break. I'm going out. I'm the sandwich queen. You see that picture?
Starting point is 00:23:05 You see that picture of me on the wall, bitch? I'm a franchise artist. You make it rain with that little individual serving chips. Cheese? You're like, woo! Just slices of American cheese or whatever the fuck that is. I'm not cleaning ramekins no more. Are you crazy?
Starting point is 00:23:16 Ramekins? Yo, yo. You didn't have ramekins? Have you lost your mind? Yo, you refill the mayo. Yeah. I don't do that no more. The fuck out of here, Robert.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I'm not cleaning shit. I'm the fucking sand jammer. These hands, they don't even touch bread. I don't do that no more. Get the fuck out of here, Robert. I'm not cleaning shit. I'm the fucking sand jammer. These hands, they don't even touch bread. I ain't toasting nothing. They said sandwich artist, not sandwich filling preparer. That's on you, Robert. Yeah. Please refill the tomatoes thing.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Please don't confuse my journey with yours. What is something that's underrated? Eating alone. Eat alone all the time. Oh, I totally agree. It's the fucking best. It weirds me out when people are like, I can't. Oh, I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:23:51 People will look at me. You're like, where are you going? I'm going to go get something to eat. You want a cup of tea? No, no, no. I'm just going to go eat. Are you okay? Oh, I'm great.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yes. I eat alone mostly at home sometimes when I'm cooking, and Her Majesty's at work still. But I don't actually, I can't. The last time I was in a restaurant by myself was probably, oh, you know, in Japan, actually, a while back. I was going to say travel. A lot of people eat by themselves in Japan.
Starting point is 00:24:16 And they have restaurants that are sort of set up that way, right? For like one person to look at a wall. You can read your manga or look on your phone or whatever. Do you look at your phone? Do you read a book? What do you do? Or you're just there? Depends on where I'm at.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Sit down. Yeah. If it's like a people watching place, I'll sit there and eat for a long time. And just stare. I don't like to work in public. That's strange. My wife likes to go to a coffee shop that's busy and people are coming in and out. She's like, I like to work there.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I'm like, I would get nothing done. Just too much distraction? I need to watch what everyone's doing. I mean, there's a reason I lean to being a comedian, is because I'm already watching people. Right, right, right. But yeah, and then some places, yeah, you're just reading. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Caitlin, if there are listeners out there who might not be open to having a dinner alone or a meal alone, sell them on it. Oh, the pleasure, the relaxation. If you're worried about that feeling that it's noticeable, it just isn't. Yeah, I've never been like that. Nobody cares. No server is going to be like, oh, you're eating alone? Right.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Does that hurt your heart? On a Thursday? You get whatever you want uh yeah i think it's just uh you never have to especially if you're hungry uh waiting for someone is just uh it's it's the worst or like waiting in between bites to like talk sometimes like let's just eat this shit and then we talk after yes when it like eating is also a physical function that you need right so enjoy it relax don't compromise in any part of it and just have it all your little own all right let's take a quick break and we're gonna be right back

Starting point is 00:29:45 get your podcast and we're back now let's talk about another business that doesn't have their shit together uh the what what is the new york times call themselves the paper of record or prestige journalism anyway they are having a real hard time telling people what is happening on earth in general yeah they can't earlier there was an op-ed like after the shootings that said you know what for white nationalists who agree with the ideology but don't like the violence they should talk to their other people like what they were like sort of saying that white nationalist needs to self-police cut to uh when trump gave that really empty uh gesture of a like unity speech i guess it was just a teleprompter where he didn't even know the difference between dayton and toledo ohio um the first uh cover or the first front page headline read trump urges unity versus racism it's not a great way to word um wow you mean guy who is whose fiery rhetoric is inspiring this kind
Starting point is 00:30:57 of violence um but you know he's saying but guys it's i i don't like i don't like white supremacy it's bad so i guess that's him urging unity. Or I guess he used words that technically could be defined as that, but completely missing the point about what this president means to many of these white nationalists. Well, that's his base. Yeah. Well, then once enough people were like, what the fuck is this headline? Like, how could you even act as if this president is leading the country in any direction but south um then there was like assailing hate but not guns okay i don't okay i feel like you know i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt
Starting point is 00:31:39 here a little bit because i feel like the way the newspapers and media works now is you have to they don't know how to engage interaction so a lot of it's this disingenuous thing where it's like the guy being like here's how you save money not tipping and knowing knowing that the most of the world would be like let's burn burn the whole thing down because of that. So I think they put these op-eds in there to fire people up because they know when they do that, they look at these stats, these analytics that say, hey, when we say this crazy shit, the money thing goes up. Right. I mean, that aside, I think the front page isn't an op-ed.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And my biggest criticism with the New York Times right now is based on this headline, which obscures the actual reality of what the country is in right now. To say that the president was urging unity is not true. I think he disingenuously
Starting point is 00:32:40 tried to come off as an empathetic leader and failed terribly. Yeah. And I think this for anyone who isn't quite, you know, as engaged with the news, they'll read that and be like, oh, I guess the president. OK, so I guess he's urging unity versus racism rather than Trump is encouraging racism versus unity. It's also just framing the language, which every good tyrant does, which when Trump says he opposes white supremacy, that's because he's already given you a whole language that means that, that isn't those words, because his base knows that those words are the bad words that you're not supposed to be or
Starting point is 00:33:16 say, but you can say immigration, you can say infestation, you can say go back home, you can say lock them up, you can say all of that stuff to mean the same thing. So he's just parroting back like, no, no, no, kids. We're still not, ha-ha, we're still not Nazis. But yes, we can have detention centers. And yes, we can have, you know, it's. It's those assholes that, and it's, okay, here's an example of where I learned it a long time ago. That the terminology, getting rid of, will never make it go away.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Because I went to see this guy I went to high school with. He worked on a farm. And him and these guys lived together. We were young. And I went to drink with them all weekend. They kept talking about seeing these Canadians. There were a bunch of Canadians there, blah, blah. And at first I was like, that's weird that they hate these Canadians the way they're saying're saying it come to find out they were just talking about black people and they were saying canadians
Starting point is 00:34:09 instead of the n-word because they knew that they couldn't say that anymore and once i i mean it took me a day and a half to figure it out yeah uh also because we were in missouri right so it was like there might have been like four black people that they saw right in this fucking farm town so it made me like that's when i realized like oh they're just gonna they could say concrete or whatever word yeah it's just the hate that comes with it and that's what he's doing he can like he can just say like like like you said like it's just immigration or you know it's like. It's that dog whistle bit.
Starting point is 00:34:47 It's me saying the word. I have a bit about this in my act. It's like me, my wife is Jewish. Me saying that with my accent, some people cringe because it sounds hateful. Because the people that have said Jew with my accent have said it in a hateful way for years. So it's just a, it's, and they don't know how to frame it either.
Starting point is 00:35:09 I think that's what. I think they do. I think that's my problem with the New York times. They think they've always been, um, for a paper of record. They are a white ass record. Oh,
Starting point is 00:35:18 without a doubt. I mean, I was poking around on my phone trying to find some of their, uh, historic headlines that make this headline. No surprise. And because this one's making so much noise, it's a little harder to find. But let's not forget hits like Negro Cocaine Fiends Are a New Southern Menace,
Starting point is 00:35:32 Murder and Insanity Increasing Among Lower Class Blacks Because They Have Taken to Sniffing Since Deprived of Whiskey by Prohibition. And that was 2002. But it reads like, I mean, go to the 80s and you're looking at the same headlines. Yeah. Like exactly the same headlines. Right. They've been politicizing issues.
Starting point is 00:35:51 This paper in particular politicizes social and racial issues in the worst frames possible. And they have for a long time. And it's a very weird white tradition where like we're not racist so nothing can be racist so we're gonna figure out how this isn't about race or racism and the new york times during this time frame of a turn of the century last century uh during this negro cocaine fiends article craze was running articles about how war veterans are suffering because of their post-war injuries. What they were taking for those post-war injuries was cocaine. And they were losing their fucking minds.
Starting point is 00:36:34 It was prescribed. It was in this year's Roebuck catalog. It was just ugly. It does make you feel good when you take it. Yes, of course it does. It most certainly does. It does make you feel really good. But it comes with this other host of problems that we couldn't blame on veterans.
Starting point is 00:36:40 It most certainly does. It does make you feel really good. But it comes with this other host of problems that we couldn't blame on veterans. So we only looked at the problems when they happened to people who weren't white veterans. Right. And then we made them criminals. Right. And we, like, it's... It's wealthy liberals is who we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:36:56 It is exactly wealthy liberals. And we're doing the same thing by letting Trump take the language of, you know, he can say he's not white supremacist because the New York Times will print his opinions about immigration as if it's news that isn't racist. Right. That's like, this is what he said, rather than this president has unacceptable views. It's an old trick to sell papers is constant conflict. And even when there's not conflict, they create it to sell papers. This is a bizarre, what an era to think that there's, that you have to manufacture conflict in.
Starting point is 00:37:32 But that's what I'm saying. Imagine being a journalist in this, in this time and saying, you got to make something up. But they're not, we're not talking about actual journalists when we're talking about like, there are real journalists.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I mean, there are, to their credit, there are some good journalists at the New York Times, but that's not who we're talking about. That's the frustrating journalists. I mean, to their credit, there are some good journalists at the New York Times, but that's not who we're talking about. That's the frustrating part. We're going to have a longer discussion about this headline than we did about the story the New York Times wrote about Donald Trump's financial history,
Starting point is 00:37:55 revealing the dirty tricks he's been up to with his family since he was literally three years old and was given a trust. But there's no conflict there because it's just fact. That's a rich guy story. Well, and it's fact. It's just a fact that we all go, yep, but how do we stop it? They've got to stop talking like this. So dumb people don't understand.
Starting point is 00:38:15 We need to start communicating. And that's part of what you're saying with the New York Times is like, my thing with them is like any, it's the same as wealthy liberals. It's like when I moved to Seattle, I thought, oh, cool, I'm going to this bastion of progressiveness. And I come from this little town in East Tennessee. And then I get there and I'm like, where the fuck is all the black people? Yeah, right. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:38 And you're like, oh. Oh, they live in a different part of town. You're like, oh. And then you hear people that are liberal or whatever call the black part of town the ghetto and you're like that's not a ghetto yeah right that's where black people live that's a neighborhood but that's i can show you a ghetto yeah the well yeah because again even like you were saying there's not a we haven't had a reckoning with the racism of this country america like you know i was saying yesterday, gold medal in deluding ourselves that we never did anything wrong ever.
Starting point is 00:39:05 It's incredible. And we're amazing. So race is a bus. It's Santa Monica. Right. Yeah. No, exactly. And it's one of the most liberal cities in the world.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And it's also a hotbed for young fascists. Yes. What's a myth, Jossie? What's something that people just get wrong? Yeah. So I grew up my whole life thinking that birds were the lamest animals. Yeah. Especially like pet birds.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I didn't understand the allure of parakeets. All birds. Cockatiels. Cockatoos. They all seemed like rats of the sky. Sky rats. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Truly, I also thought people who liked birds were lame. Like if you're a bird person. I'm guilty of that as well. You're a bird person?'re a bird person. I'm guilty of that as well. You're a bird person? No, I'm saying I'm guilty of having thought that. Right? Like if you're like cat or dog and someone's like, can I say bird? You're like, really?
Starting point is 00:39:54 You want something that's going to ruin us watching TV for every fucking eight minutes? But I recently went two hours out of Los Angeles to a place called Ostrich Land USA. What? And it is this massive like open plain area with a fence where you can, and it just has dozens upon hundreds of ostriches, which
Starting point is 00:40:17 I learned are the only bird that has three toes. And when they say toes, when they say toes, yeah. Like-Rex. When they say toes... Like a raptor. Here is the thing. Bloody Vilsa raptor. All birds are dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Right, mate. And all dinosaurs are birds. I've seen Jurassic Park a hundred times. Yeah, when you feed an ostrich, it is terrifying. Because that's what you do. You pay... First of all, it's like only $5 to get in.
Starting point is 00:40:42 To get your hand bitten off. Do you go... And $1 to buy a little plate of food that's literally in like a dustpan. It's like a broom, heavy duty broom dustpan. One food, please. Yeah, here's a dustpan with some turds in it. A circle where like pellets or like a bowl of pellets are. And they're like, okay, you have to grasp it by two hands, extend your entire arms, and then, like, the ostriches,
Starting point is 00:41:07 first of all, their necks are hoses of muscle. And they, like, they can go under things. They can, like, wiggle under the fence and poke their, and it's, like, a four-foot-long neck. These things are terrifying and also, like, amazing. Like, I'm in awe of them. So you learn to love the bird. Yeah, and then they, like i was in awe of them so you learned to love the bird yeah and then they like peck with the speed and the sound of a staple gun that's how they eat they
Starting point is 00:41:32 just like they just like pierce and attack and bite and that's how they eat what's it smell like you know not as bad as you think in my mind a bird just smells like especially a huge bird yeah i'm like yeah this thing smells like absolute shit i don't know how those feathers like they just feel like sponges yeah i would not touch any of these birds and then so on one i would not touch them i respect them now but i will never on one and they have ostriches which are also have long beautiful eyelashes like cartoons cats or something like truly like beautiful eyes and then on the other side
Starting point is 00:42:06 they have emus which just are raptors like emus are are height if not taller they have these like oh really
Starting point is 00:42:14 I thought they crazy predator eyes and like so what do we need to do to address this threat so from what I'm hearing I think
Starting point is 00:42:23 threat to national security what I'm saying is that birds have, will long outlive us and have already, like, lived way earlier than us. So,
Starting point is 00:42:30 we need to respect them. I think we need to respect the birds a little more. Well, what do you think now of a bird person? Because before, you're like,
Starting point is 00:42:35 fucking bird person. Now, in your new 2019 outlook. Yeah. Well, is it bad if I still don't like bird people? Well,
Starting point is 00:42:44 what is it about a bird person you think is is they're not, someone's not sitting right? I think like, you know, bird, it's just bird people are a little kinky, I think. Oh, so you're a little too vanilla. Yeah, I think I'm too vanilla to be a bird person. And so like, it's not even that they are bad. It's just that like, I haven't challenged myself. Oh, wow. You're intimidated.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I'm intimidated by someone who knows when they're a child that they're a bird person right when you have these options of like furry cat soft dog scary bird like i'm all about these feathers yeah yeah so i think it's like a thing where it's like in 2019 i've learned this valuable lesson and maybe in 2020 i can like i can like grow inwardly if this is a rom-com your destiny is to be with a bird person yeah yeah or a fucking emu I don't know which one this can be or that one of those uh yeah ostriches like I want to
Starting point is 00:43:33 see like Godzilla King of Monsters style movies but with birds like emus and ostriches wait when you go to this ostrich farm does like Sam Neill come out with like ostrich claw and he's like this is gonna slice you across your belly spilling your intestines
Starting point is 00:43:49 and you have to be that loud mouth kid oh so just like a big turkey like oh yeah motherfucker it's close to that I heard in the original script he actually just slashes his belly open with a raptor claw just eviscerates him.
Starting point is 00:44:05 And everyone's like, oh my God. And Jeff Goldblum ends up just taking over the tour. Yeah. Anyway. It's just one of the many eviscerating scenes left on Spielberg's cutting room floor. Yeah, exactly. Actually, he cuts a lot of body horror scenes. Yeah, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:44:19 It's weird. Huh. Huh. He loves little boy's journeys and body horror. And evisceration by a thousand claws. I don't know if y'all ever have to deal with seagulls eating your shit or attacking your food at the beach or just in general. But there's been a new study. I don't know how the fucking scientifically rooted this is.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Maybe the PhD candidate can tell um just about how to successfully uh fucking intimidate a seagull from not eating your fucking food and i like this now this is a study from it was recently published in the biology letters uh from the uk do you know this journal okay maybe it's fake no but um but, they wanted to test, like, if human intimidation through eye contact has any effect on seagulls, like, sort of willingness to attack your food. Now, the way they did this was they had, like, a bag of food out like a chips or something, and then they would have an experimenter, like, some experimenters just looked, like, had their eyes turned away from the seagullss and then other people would stare the seagulls the fuck down uh like if they got near the bags of
Starting point is 00:45:30 chips and after five minutes if the seagull didn't approach or if the seagull snatched the food up that experiment or that trial they would categorize that as complete so they found that the seagulls took significantly longer to approach the food source when the experimenter looked directly at them versus away. Now, some were bolder than others, but the overall findings, they say, just means that straight up eye contact, even head turning, being like, I see you, I see you, was able to slow down or deter the seagulls. For people who didn't look, they were much more willing to approach. I didn't even think this was a thing because usually I would just throw shit or be like, get the fuck out of here. That's usually my tactic.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Right. I'm going to have to get into the research scam game because somebody funded this. Somebody funded people going down to figure out if staring at seagulls was worthwhile. Or yeah, you just had like, you got grant money or like,
Starting point is 00:46:29 fuck, let's just kick it at the beach. We'll do this thing and we'll stare at seagulls. Right, we'll just stare at seagulls and then we'll like, nobody,
Starting point is 00:46:34 who's gonna go out and debunk this research? But like, me. Me. Harvard, Harvard, hit your girl up,
Starting point is 00:46:40 okay, because I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna stare at seagulls as well. And what's your degree background? What are your bona fides? Okay, I have a marketing degree. Okay, I like that.
Starting point is 00:46:47 And a performance degree. But listen, but listen, no. I took biology in high school. Biology, wow. Biology. Wow. Okay, I took science. And I need to go out there.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Give me $300,000 to go out here and- And debunk this study. Yeah. Because I'm going to go to the, where are you going to go? The beach in Turks and Caicos. Yeah. And see, from my suite. I got to go out here and debunk this study yeah because i'm gonna go to where you're gonna go to the beach in turks and cacos yeah and see from my suite i gotta go to bali yeah because that's where the seagulls be the most trill right right and you have to see like monkey effect on seagull eye contact right like you yeah what's your phd take um okay this is like this thing is something that like the public will see like a headline like
Starting point is 00:47:25 this and be like what the fuck why do i need to why do i need to know this or whatever but like then 30 years down the line it's like a new invention of velcro or something you know what i mean like all of it's like fucking tied together somehow you know people don't see that but everything is very like niche and specific so they're like why do i need to know this oh i love that see that that's even further proliferating my my own exploits that i'll be doing yeah i would love to see you somehow scam your way into doing scientific research i think that that's honestly probably gets a phd she's like i'm scamming no bitch you're studying yeah right i don't know whatever it is it's like somehow you're like you're like oh i work at
Starting point is 00:48:01 nasa right now i'm working on a new movement. She's like, at Mars. Right, right. She's one of the first astronauts. Right. I'm like, is this really got out of hand? I thought I was just scamming. I'm trying to put a monorail on Mars now. We're like, we have Chief Scamgineer, Captain Lacey Mosley.
Starting point is 00:48:20 And the freeze-dried food. And the next thing I knew, I was on Mars. Oh, so now you don't like your new Virgil Abloh-designed off-white spacesuits? Okay, well, y'all are so ungrateful. She's like, do these shoes have red bottoms? My space boots, my space boots got red bottoms. Your Tom Sacks Nikes. All right, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry,
Starting point is 00:51:45 Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them. Why is that? 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 braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her.
Starting point is 00:52:12 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. Listen to the making of a rivalry. Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Also, another thing I didn't realize there's a apparently the rise in prices of avocados is causing some restaurants to thin out their guac with a secret ingredient. Now, I don't know if this, how prevalent this is, but due to these like huge spikes in avocados, people are, this is okay. Look, this might be surprising to you, but there are restaurants in California that have been essentially adding the calabasita, the summer squash. And they basically, they can get the taste and texture right, although it's just a little bit looser. And this is apparently a guac scam. I know that this guac scam has been happening. Because she's behind it. And I've watched. Oh, yeah. You have a calabasita farm. Yeah. Well, listen this guac scam has been happening. Because she's behind it. And I've watched.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Oh, yeah. You have a Calabasita farm. Yeah. Well, listen. You got to get in early. Yeah, right. And the biggest way that I know this has been happening is because I've been seeing way too many advertisements about some guac that's got raisins in it, pomegranates, seeds, coconut.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Like, they putting all types of wild shit in guacamole and it's to distract us from the fact that it tastes like squash wow oh yeah if you go to
Starting point is 00:53:51 Toca Madera out here they put oh wow shot fired they put pomegranate seeds in their guacamole
Starting point is 00:53:57 I don't like that pepitas all types of stuff to get to throw me off the scent right of the squash
Starting point is 00:54:04 wow I wonder if Chipotle is fucking around or their guac price To throw me off the scent of the squash. Wow. I wonder if Chipotle's fucking around. Or their guac price stays. That shit is thick. I mean, but their guac price stays up. I think that, because other places that will give you guacamole, it's not necessarily market price. It comes with the meal.
Starting point is 00:54:21 But at Chipotle, they keep that price high. So I think even if avocados dip, Chipotle has never changed their price. Ten years later, there's no avocados. They're just offering squash. It's $10 if you want to add it to your burrito. And we're old and we're like, back in my day, guacamole was made with avocados. They're like, okay, Grandpa. I think he's having one of his episodes. I'm going to go into my drawer and take a nap.
Starting point is 00:54:43 It's like their version of a house. Everyone knows guacamole is squash and watermelon seeds. They're like, go play your PS18, Grandpa, and leave us the fuck alone. Keep playing FIFA 4040. Stop trying to make us listen to Migos, Grandpa. I'm going to teleport right now if you don't stop embarrassing me. Honestly, if you say raindrop, drop top, we're going to put you in a home. I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:55:03 What does that even mean? It doesn't make sense. But you were cooking up dope in the crock why would you speak words in music that's disgusting right it's like i remember when music was audible and now we just put these vibrating chips on our jaw bones and that's how we enjoy music right and in the privacy of our own skulls i say it's your and they're like she's're like, she's having a stroke. She's having a stroke. Please call the doctor. It's happening again. Yes, it is. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:55:29 That was the one she used to do. And now it's the other one. That's Hindi. What does that mean? I think it's like my hand or something. I don't even speak Hindi. I just remember that part from Get Your Free Call. But I saw that part and I was like, oh shit, we made it.
Starting point is 00:55:41 There's a lot of Indian influence in hip hop music. Me too, because it starts off in Japanese. Because it's like this episode is sponsored by Missy Elliott by Missy Elliott and Timbaland wow uh shout out to Virginia you know Virginia is for lovers and hustlers too if you like the clips I really actually need to pivot to this very important story because I don't understand why this is a thing. Oscar Mayer has a hot dog ice cream sandwich.
Starting point is 00:56:15 It's called an ice dog sandwich. Do you guys hear about this? Yeah, this is pretty gnarly. And I'm like such a hot dog person. But this is like when a 60 year old woman gets like her boobs redone you know what i mean 60 year old woman gets yeah this gets like a huge like fake rack and you're like all right have you seen that a lot we're trying to change things up oh you're from warrens county oh i it's like yeah the land of fake rack that's how you know someone's
Starting point is 00:56:43 60 they're like i don't think she has a new rack yet. So I think she's 58. Yeah. My first special is going to be called Huge Cans. No, but I feel like, I'm like, why would you go ice cream and hot dog? Which, and I'm like, I love hot dogs like more than anything. And for me, I can't even conceive. But I also hate when people try to
Starting point is 00:57:05 take two good things like when people are like chocolate and bacon together i'm like no they're masterpieces by themselves you're doing too much well listen just listen to the description really quick of how this is even made so the ice dog sandwich contains candied hot dog bits candy whatever the fuck that is i I've already got it. No. That's not right. Dude, hot dog sweet cream. I got to see a picture of this. Hot dog sweet cream?
Starting point is 00:57:33 Is that to say they take the hot dog water and make that ice cream flavor? Oh, that's so gross. Then spicy Dijon gelato. No. And a cookie bun. No, fuck you. No. No a cookie bun. No, fuck you. No. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Wait a minute. Now, I don't know. Apparently, I mean, they must have done this in a way. Oh, this doesn't even look like a hot dog. It's an ice cream sandwich, but they want to evoke all these fucking flavors. This is like when you lose a bet. Oh, go to hell. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:58:03 And you have to eat this. Right now, it's going to be, I think, going to other places of the country. It doesn't even look like a hot dog. Oh, my God. That's morally wrong. Oh, it's horrible. If you're in New York City, August 12th, that week, look for the Wienermobile. They are serving it up.
Starting point is 00:58:17 If you're in LA, Cool House, I think, will also be serving it. Maybe we should go. I don't think so. We have to try. If you really fuck with hot dogs, we have to try this. No, Miles, let's just go eat regular hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:58:29 I'll do that. Okay. God. But you wouldn't even entertain trying it. What if it's somehow they pulled it off? No, they can't pull it off. How come in your, why are you so adamant that they can't pull it off?
Starting point is 00:58:40 Because. Why are you so resistant to change? Yeah. Oh, says Mr. I've never felt an emotion in my life. I can't be moved by any geographical change. I changed my mind about all that. I love everything. Like, I love a hat the second day wear.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Oh, my God. You need God. You need God. God's great. Ice cream is not... Okay, so this is what... A hot dog is like summer and ice cream's like summer but this is a totally different thing this it's hot it's spicy it's like it shouldn't be an
Starting point is 00:59:15 ice cream flavor no it's wrong i have a feeling this is like this is the kind of energy that is like what rom-coms are built off of because then you're gonna have your first bite and then you're gonna be team ice dog sandwich. Oh, my God. Every time I say I hate someone, I end up fucking them. That's how it goes. John Cusack. Somehow the hot dog, that made me madder than Trump.
Starting point is 00:59:36 It made me madder than poverty and health care. It is different than what I thought it was going to be, though. That's the first feeling of it. I just thought it was going to be a. That's the first feeling of it. I just thought it was going to be a hot dog with ice cream on top of it. Which would be better than what the fuck that is. Yeah, I would rather have a hot
Starting point is 00:59:54 dog with ice cream on it. Look, it's not ideal, but at least we're not getting fucking wild space age engineering in a lab. You know, there's a lot of thought that went into that. Hot dog sweet cream already to me sounds like the pink goo that they make the Franks out of anyway. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:00:11 Miles, don't say that. Just think about it. If you ever saw a hot dog get made, whatever. It is what it is. I know. That's my biggest thing is when people bring that up to me when I'm eating a hot dog. I don't care, though. I'm like, look, bitch.
Starting point is 01:00:20 You shouldn't care. I've clearly chosen to enjoy this, okay? You sound like Big Hot Dog is funding this podcast, and you're just a corporate shill. Like the Washington Post editorial board. Just like Jeff Bezos. Look, I told you that I would kill for money. All right, that's going to do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist.
