That was a great introduction One of the best i've ever had oh come on now come on now gotta show respect to professor asad i'm doing well you know i feel like you missed a little bit about your new york experience there's always someone urinating in the corner out there in times square you know know, I missed, I think the NYPD is doing a good job of brutalizing people. It wasn't happening. Yeah, so shout out to them. LA might be the new home of public urination
Starting point is 00:06:13 because I'm seeing a lot of public urination these days. We've always been here in Portland too. We've always had that. You know, the weather's nice. You know, the pee-pees everywhere. Go outside for a peepee we have a we have a lot of dog poop everywhere here in portland people don't don't seem to pick up after their dogs we have that in la too it's kind of i'm also i see it on the
Starting point is 00:06:34 concrete and i'm like what the fuck like i don't know why i'm getting angry at the dog i'm like you're just comfortable shitting on the concrete right next to a serviceable patch of grass or dirt. I don't know why I'm like put myself in the perspective of the dog. And like that's like and that's a bridge too far for me. Yeah, my dogs would only go when we lived in New York. They would only go as we were crossing the street. I think it's just as a test of just knew my metal there right they just know that as i got more like the moment that i would want them to take a shit the least is when they decide
Starting point is 00:07:15 to take a shit yeah yeah it's like the the red hand is blinking and in the countdown it's like three two here we go yeah so wait what did you do did you like in a panic like try and clean it up or did you oh yeah yeah i was like catching it with the bag like wow and then about to get hit by like and like waving waving to the cars like i'm so sorry you know oh no i know that's a very high stress event for you. Yeah. I don't like to fuck anyone's day up. I'm getting secondhand stress from that, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I know exactly how you feel. All right. So we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today. Diane Feinstein is back. And I don't know, man man it's like pretty pretty dark it's grim i think grim is the is the appropriate word uh new twitter ceo just dropped oh and it's a woman elon musk's fans are not happy about that fact so we'll talk about just it should have been rick or morty
Starting point is 00:08:26 probably the fucking only your only options yeah is it rick or fucking morty otherwise then don't talk to me dog live don't worry she's a fucking capitalist you're fine she's fine you guys are gonna be fine also there might be a dating app situation happening on twitter oh boy what he's trying everything he's trying it all you know amc theaters are trying it all they're they're gonna make their own candy it looks what i don't know that just pissed me off that you said that like huh yeah it's weird for what cost cutting yeah cost cutting they they claim that there's a like i i have noticed at amc theaters that like some some days they just like won't have any candy like they they won't have they'll have like half of the things will be gone yeah yeah i'm still
Starting point is 00:09:20 especially when i'm real sick and just talking up i I like to show up and just, you know. I like to go to a midnight Thursday show when it's packed. Something about being around other people helps me feel better. Oh, yeah. But something about being here, you know, feels better in a place like this. Thank you, Nicole. But, yeah, like they don't half the time. I'm a sour patch kids.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I'm a sour patch kid i'm a sour patch kid yeah and a lot of times they won't have that shit so anyways they're gonna try and deal with some of their supply chain issues by making their own candy which feels i don't know like it there's got to be a reason that that all these companies like that we've had the same candy for centuries. Yeah. You're not going to usurp Reese's Pieces. Right. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:12 It feels like people would have thought of that. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, oh, if you love Reese's Pieces, you're going to love Ross's Pocys. You're like, what? Everything's this kind of. Didn't AMC go into the gold business recently
Starting point is 00:10:24 or mining business like a year or two ago like they are just trying everything i feel like are they whoa really that's wild mining okay so we'll talk about that well we might talk about disney losing millions of subscribers not due to wokeness but that that is the way the headlines are portraying it. It's actually because of cricket. We'll explain all of that, plenty more. But first, Asab, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Yeah, I mean, I was thinking on the dog and baby theme. Something that I searched in my late night trying to get my baby to sleep was, my late night trying to get my baby to sleep was,
Starting point is 00:11:06 is it okay to love your dog more than your child? And surprisingly, something like 33% of people love their dogs more than their children, which I thought was pretty funny. How do you guys feel? I love my, sadly, my dog has become down in steerage class of the Titanic of my love ship while I'm holding my baby up at the front saying, you know, king of the world, you and I. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I know that feeling, though, because I'm man when there's something about I was just telling I think I've said this on the show before.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Like the difference between seeing my baby smile at 3 p.m. versus seeing my baby smile at 3 p.m versus seeing my baby smile at 3 a.m is a completely different like when i'm like don't be smiling right now you should fucking 3 a.m you're like oh you think it's a fucking party huh oh you think it's a party so i amuse you like a clown you know what i mean that's why i'm turning into him suddenly but yeah i know that feeling like man my my like late night Google searches were all like stuff like that of like, you know, leak. Yeah. I mean, the business opportunity is for new parents who are Googling solutions to their problems at three o'clock in the morning. I mean, forget about we've spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, like on little things from Amazon or whatever Costco to come overnight so that we could fix whatever the problem we're having.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. Is your is your baby like what's the just kind of just, you know, young. So not sleeping as well. She's perfect in every way, except she's a newborn. Right. And so she wants to be back in the womb in the fourth trimester. But, you know, we love her.
Starting point is 00:12:44 But as you can imagine i've never you know felt this kind of love before other than my dog somehow my love has expanded for my dog yeah and yeah it's it's it's everything that you can imagine would be yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure i'm i you know how jack i was talking shit i'm like yo my son's sleeping he's sleeping through the night now yeah no i should that's it don't say that that's my only hope i mean it happened i mean it's like it's now went from like like 11 hours to six yeah and then like got out you know rock rock them back and then you know i can continue my sleep but i've slowly my body's adjusted i think i my body's adjusted i
Starting point is 00:13:25 think i think i may have i'm starting to be able to run on much less and less sleep than i thought i would yeah you find that you're far more efficient with your hours during the day too right oh totally yeah yeah and like i go to sleep like early like a you know like an adult too so because i'm like because you got to do that thing it's like when the baby's sleeping you got to sleep too totally yeah yeah as much as i want to reclaim those hours and play the new Star Wars Jedi Survivor game, I cannot for my own, you know, sleep cycle. Agreed. What is something that you think is overrated? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Yeah, I think Airbnb recently. I've just been so annoyed with their excess fees and cleaning and this, that, and the other thing. And I've gone back to just go into hotels because I can just, I know the price, I know the system. I go in, uh, and then I leave and, I don't have to clean 45 dishes and do all sorts of stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:18 So yeah, I would say for me right now, Airbnb is overrated. Right. They're like, the hotel is never like you didn't bring the trash bags out to the can outside so that's a 50 charge yeah also one dish was not cleaned properly and you didn't put all the sheets into the washing i'm like okay you know what yeah i i totally get
Starting point is 00:14:37 that it's so the fees are because like it's wild too you'll see like a you'll see a price when it's like whatever 150 bucks a night and then it tallies it up it's like it's six grand six so you're like wait what all the cleaning fee is more than the nightly yeah yeah and then you know covid sterilization fee you're like and just as a person of color early on i had a lot of issues with airbnb in that like i would reserve something and then it would get canceled oh yeah and my wife who's a white woman would would reserve the same or similar place and be like okay yeah you can come that part so yeah totally I would just be like please her majesty use your whiteness in service of this Airbnb booking exactly because this place is too fucking nice for my like fucking black and
Starting point is 00:15:21 brown ass avatar for them to be like yeah we trust him yeah what's uh what's something you think is underrated yeah i mean i i guess i'm again baby on the mind i would say new moms man my wife is a rock star and i don't know yeah miles your wife is it wife i'm assuming yeah uh like the what are that what they're doing on a day-to-day week-to-week basis in these first couple months i mean obviously first couple years for the rest of their lives but certainly you know my mom my wife my wife uh you know breastfeeding breastfeeding for 40 hours a week plus right yeah and i'm pumping it's yeah two hour shifts like completely just underrated what you know what what new moms have to go
Starting point is 00:16:05 through and in terms of uh of keeping these little ones alive so and it was just mother's day yeah that's why it's like it's not lost on me like it's just just gestation and birth that part alone i'm like look i got about i don't know how what i have to do to offset this balance that we've already created because of caring and delivering the child like Like there's nothing I could do except for maybe stay up really late a lot more. Uh, but yeah, it's, it's, it's so like, you know, like, like I was saying, like to other people, like your, your ability to love expands in so many ways, not just by having a child, but even like in my marriage it's like yeah it's wild i feel like in a way like some people like but baby's not gonna solve everything not that we had problems
Starting point is 00:16:49 that we had to solve but it's like it's completely added a new dimension and depth of love to even like my relationship to my partner that was not there yeah but yeah shout out yeah and also it's just mother's day so shout out all the mothers mothers. Shout out to all old moms, new moms, all of the manufacturing, the most nutritious food in the world with their body constantly. Yeah, and the most we can do is clean pacifiers
Starting point is 00:17:15 and pumping equipment. I take that duty on. T-shirts are the appropriate thing to clean pacifiers with. Just wipe that shit. Oh yeah, that or just suck the dust right off it. I'm like, hit the ground. I clean pacifiers with. Just wipe that shit. Oh yeah, that or just suck the dust right off it. I'm like, hit the ground. I'm like, okay, there you go. Right back to you.

There you go. That is amazing. You see that ring right there yeah that's breast milk there you go i don't know why it's like i leave it on like it's a

Starting point is 00:18:36 Hey, but Homelander did it. Homelander did that shit. That's all. It's for the most powerful men out there. drink breast milk that's right all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about some news this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
Starting point is 00:19:14 President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
Starting point is 00:19:44 The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs,
Starting point is 00:20:00 but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl. Get the facts.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and so is die five yeah oh dice i mean so she she's back in the senate she cast her first votes last wednesday after being out for months like almost three months and senate democrats were eager for her return because the judiciary committee, they had a backlog of judicial picks of Biden's judicial picks. They had to confirm that had been at a standstill. They're also big relieved to have a crucial vote that could help avert like a debt ceiling disaster. So in a sense, they're like, okay, this is great to have her back, but truly at what cost? Because if anyone who saw the footage of her arrive to to work at
Starting point is 00:22:06 the capitol it was pretty hard to watch she got out of a car her one of her staffers had a wheelchair waiting she said where am i going no yeah man you know as she got into the wheelchair and then she said i got something in my eye and then chuck schumer comes up he's like hi diane she's like hi chuck hi everyone and then slowly like wheeled off to like to work but it was it was one of those scenes where you're like oh man this is this she is she is she's in a bad way and i don't know like i think it was that scene was kind of tragically familiar for anyone that's watched an elderly loved one sort of begin to slip into poor health and senility and you know her office says that she's been suffering from shingles which eventually hospitalized her and shingles is fucking no joke especially at that age ruth
Starting point is 00:22:57 bader ginsburg also she had secret shingles like that she wasn't really talking about and she couldn't shake it after a while because it had gone too far. And so, you know, like right now, Feinstein is saying that she's going to retire in 2025. But I think a lot of people are like, is that really necessary? 4chan meme like gabby newsome will put a democrat in there and things can move happily along and you know diane can live out her days in peace and potentially recover rather than have to like as one staffer called it put up this they call it kabuki basically with how she's like she's looked at legislation and they said this this these words don't make sense she said that and they're like oh shit and apparently like her chief of staff is kind of running things behind the scenes it's been a very yeah it's very difficult to watch and there's like so many layers of like fucked up here it's like the democrats like well we need your ass to get these votes through so get your ass over
Starting point is 00:23:59 here but also like we're not able to you know like this is like a real problem we have in the in the US, too, about like, being able to know when, like, we can rest and not have this mentality, like we have to keep going. Or if I stop, then this means X, Y, or Z. Palpatine's wife? Like she just looked so frail and like just out of like a movie, you know, Star Wars. Like I feel like just yeah, I just I don't understand why she's trying to cling to this power other than she wants the power. It just makes no sense. It's probably, you know, like anything, right? Like when my like grandparents, too, there's a there's a moment where they're like, no, I'm good. I'm good. Don't worry about me. And you're like, you're not good at all.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Sometimes you can't leave it. Leave the decision in their hands. Yeah. And I'm sure on some level she doesn't want to admit that to herself, which I completely understand. But this is why, like, in a way, like this is why we need shit like term limits. Term limits. Yeah. like in a way like this is why we need shit like term limits term limits yeah and we need to stop like incentivizing like a gerontocracy in the senate because of all these seniority rules and
Starting point is 00:25:09 committee assignments like it's like you want the oldest motherfuckers in there like so everything is like all bad about this yeah there's just no good no good news and by the way i do appreciate you keeping it veiled by saying an elderly loved one, Miles, about me, you know, coming back from being sick for a couple of days and being fragile. I never thought humiliation was an effective tool. Just personally, I've told you that. And when it's time for you to call time, Jack, it's time for you to call time. I'm not going to do that for you. But it is hard for people to watch that happen. I'm not going to do that for you. But it is hard for people to watch that happen.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I'm just going to say that right now. It is heartbreaking. You know? Yeah. The truth is, shingles is devastating for a 20 or 30 year old and for someone her age. I mean, it's just it's it really just makes no sense. And I completely agree with you guys that we need to get term limits. We need to, the Democrats, especially as you get younger people in the House and Senate,
Starting point is 00:26:11 if we want to attract this next generation of voters, it's not going to be done by the 70, 89-year-old. Are there nations that have an age limit or anything like that? I'm just curious, like any institutions that are like, OK, well, we know that we're coming up on age 70, which is when we're no longer allowed to have these jobs. And so we like have the infrastructure in place to create a new class of whatever whatever the job is. You know, other other countries definitely have term limits term limits for sure yeah this is it's a it's a mess but like yeah like i know like with president with the who who are two options are going to be for the next president right too yeah like for judges i know like i'm just reading australia canada england france germany italy portugal russia south africa spain they all have term limits
Starting point is 00:27:10 or mandatory retirement ages yeah um and especially when you look at like where we are in american history this point in history like we can't have leaders or legislators who are so divorced from like the outcomes of their decisions now because they're like well i don't i'm not gonna see what the fuck happens with the decision in 10 years uh because the stakes are completely different but yeah like it's just like there's other levels too they're just like really gross like just hearing about how the staffers are like trying to hide it because they don't want to find other jobs and shit too and it's at this it's at this poor woman's expense and it's it's 40 million people from california who are being underrepresented or not represented at all because
Starting point is 00:27:52 of yeah because of this yeah because of this right and so those people are not getting a voice in california itself is already underrepresented because they only get two senators and you know x amount of representatives and so yeah it's just it's to me, the whole thing is ludicrous. And she should retire immediately. They should get someone else that can can actually represent 40 million people. At the very least. Yeah. Not have like there was another time that I was reading this other article about like just kind of just the greatest hits of building like like oh oh die fi she came up to tim senator tim scott from south carolina
Starting point is 00:28:26 the black the lone black republican senator and she thought he was rafael warnock no yes and she said congrats i've been rooting for you i'm so happy you're joining us and blah blah blah and tim scott apparently just played along like he knew what time it was already oh no he was like thank you so much i really appreciate your support and kept it moving and jesus you know like this is kind of where you know these are these are not the situations where you need to be putting these people in but at the same time like we're also the message is that are like for a lot of the people that are in office they just don't want to let go of that right either right it can't be left in their hands and that anytime it's with
Starting point is 00:29:05 it without term limits like that you you're going to end up leaving it in their hands they're going to have to make the decision to back out of it and they're never going to make that decision or at least rarely will they make the decision like it's it's like any any job any sport like let letting a boxer decide when it's time to retire or anything, they never make the right decision themselves. We never make, as humans, we don't make the right, we're not the best at deciding when it's time to hang it up. I think Tom Brady has made the best decisions around as a New England Patriots fan. I wish that he would come back and retire again. Hey, man, he's got wounds to heal, man.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Ever since he saw Gisele ride off with the jujitsu guy, it's been a slippery slope, man. And in a way, maybe he's like, I should have retired because there goes my bay with the jujitsu man on a horse. Yeah. with the jujitsu man on a horse. Yeah. All right. Elon Musk named Linda Iaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter.
Starting point is 00:30:10 She is leaving her job as chairman of Global Advertising Partnerships at NBCUniversal. So this is... It seems like it's basically really focusing on ad support and getting ads. It doesn't feel like he hired somebody who is experienced with like being a CEO.
Starting point is 00:30:34 It's more like he is going to continue to be the acting CEO. And he's like, we need some we need some ad sales support. So I'm going to hire someone focused on the logic here of elon musk right he's like i've turned this into a hate speech powered hell site that's caused all advertisers to flee it's not it's not no it surely can't be the lack of moderation and the racist free-for-all it's that i don't have someone with all the advertiser connections that i need so of course you get somebody's coming from a gigantic media conglomerate with all these advertiser connections that I need. So, of course, you get somebody who's coming from a gigantic media conglomerate with all these ad relationships as a way to prop up your business
Starting point is 00:31:12 when it's so clear why they fled. But please, Elon, keep going. I'm sure she has a fantastic CV. Yeah. Well, it does seem like her politics might line up with his because she follows the Babylon Bee. Oh, which I mean, maybe she's just a fan of really great comedy. But, you know, that's the right wing, the onion.
Starting point is 00:31:35 But like their jokes are just fucking transphobic garbage. Yeah, they're not jokes. As Shin Yee Pai would say, it would be a misuse of words. I would describe that. Yeah. Also follows the head of libs of TikTok on Twitter. Oh, and she was part of Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. Oh, although she also worked.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Who else was on that council? Right. That's where I get all my most of my nutrition and health and fitness advice from. See, McDonald's was on there as well. Yeah. Yeah. But she also worked for the Biden administration, creating an advertising campaign for the COVID vaccinations starring the Pope. Oh.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Oh, wow. You know who is on that on that council? Bill Belichick. No way. Yeah. Yankees closer, Mariano Rivera. Mehmet Dr. Oz. Oh, wow. Urban Meyer and Herschel Walker.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Wow. On there. So, yeah. Yeah. Among many. Yeah. yeah among many yeah but because the new ceo espoused vaccines and masking and you know social justice in the past and is a woman uh-oh elon musk fanboys are melting down and r.i.p twitter started trending at the end of last week when it was announced these people don't know anything about fucking anything really all right okay sure
Starting point is 00:33:08 you love to see it when they're when they're hateful politics like trap them like come back to bite them in the ass like this reminds me of like when gina carano thing where she like self-destructed her career for her like anti-woke politics went and made an action movie for the daily wire and like the daily wire fans were like why would we ever watch this it stars a woman doing action crap no way that's woke bull that's woke bs man they're like what i uh yeah i mean it's uh that boomerang does does come back pretty quickly. I like how people are just like they just said, all right, Twitter, you just appointed a brain dead commie as CEO. I'll get this out there now.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Fuck Linda Yaccarino and everybody else. I'm like, really? Really? Yeah, this this person. Yeah, they're such a communist. But again, they don't even know a communist is it's someone who who believes in science. I think at they're such a communist but again they don't even know a communist is it's someone who who believes in science i think at this point is a communist and elon's still going to be involved right like he's going to be the cto still or something like
Starting point is 00:34:13 that is that is that what i heard yeah he's still going to be the ceo like this is this true i think i feel like he's probably he was probably getting pressure from the board around his horrifying mishandling of everything. He's just doing a terrible job as the CEO of Twitter. And so he's like, yeah, I'll name a CEO who will have no power and will just only be focused on getting ad sales back. And then we'll fire her once they can't resuscitate ad sales. Right. Like in three, six months, how long do you should we make a prediction? Is it six months? Is it a year that she's there before she's fired for not bringing the ads? I mean, could her relationships actually get them to look past just how like garbage of a site Twitter is.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Do you like? I don't know. Like, is that logic really going to track with like, I mean, she's got relationships. GM. Surely, like she can get them to come back to the table. But I'm I don't know. I mean, yeah, you got to imagine that there for a lot of right wing media out there, there are advertisers that want to advertise on those platforms. And if Twitter continues to be this kind of cesspool of, you know, conservative right wing racist thought, you know, there is there are people that want to reach that audience, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Right. And yeah, but they don't have I guess that's the difference is they don't have the spending power that would keep the website going like a General Motors would. Right. Because it's just going to be like some crypto scheme that, you know, it's like about. Pillow company. Yeah. Or like Pepe the Frog Coin or some shit like that. Yeah. But yeah, Linda Iaccarino.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Hard. Hard row. I feel like companies are still a little hesitant to like go full, full on board. Like there is enough Elon Musk and like, I'm sure like the CEOs of those companies in the privacy of their own right wing, like Nazi memorabilia dungeons probably would, would love to like openly come out in support of this sort of thing,
Starting point is 00:36:22 but they recognize that it's not popular, but I am starting to feel like we talked before about how like america was ripe for a 1980s like reaganite reversion like popular culture like goes full bore right wing and like embraces a like republican right wing president i could see that like Republican right wing president. I could see that like things are starting to shape up in a direction where if it's Biden versus Trump and like Trump seems to have a little bit more mental acuity than Biden does. Like I could see that being if Trump gets reelected, I could see that being the thing that all these ceos are like okay
Starting point is 00:37:07 finally we can just like go full mask off like this is what america wants we all like right are going to advertise with elon musk and like get full fully on board can always get worse i guess it's my read on this so yeah, as much as it doesn't make sense in the current zeitgeist for Twitter to suddenly be able to turn the ad sales around and for GM to start advertising on right-wing platforms, I could see a future where that's the case and where everything just kind of turns in that direction.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Because certainly the people who make the decisions at those companies like they are on board with that they are they all in the privacy of their own you know conversations with each other are having the conversations where they're like yeah we we need to like we need to stop being so woke all right yeah i'm sick of hearing about how i'm making too much money yeah like of course i'm making more money than an entry-level person like come because i'm the ceo yeah so do we think amc is going to be advertising their uh their new candy that they make on twitter anytime soon uh we'll see yeah potentially potentially i mean i might be every day i still have to taste test it. We'll see. We'll see how good it is.
Starting point is 00:38:26 But yeah, another thing that we might be getting on Twitter is. So I guess this is something they tried before Twitter blew where Twitter. So Twitter could become a dating app, according to noted relationship expert Elon Musk. He reportedly is considering adding a dating app feature to twitter just in case people were worried that it wasn't a hellish enough site already and the idea stemmed from a tweet from some guy who claimed that a twitter dating app might save humanity from extinction which we always know that we always know elon musk is worried about saving humanity from extinction with his dick that's of course so yeah that's the that's
Starting point is 00:39:13 the way yeah no need to worry about the ravages of climate change or it just worry about a data yeah a day hold on this guy's not fucking enough the world's gonna end racists aren't fucking enough yeah truly so he responded to that tweet by saying it's an interesting idea that could provide jobs because that's how he gets his business ideas is just scouring his mentions i guess yeah replying with the crying laughing emoji and also that could provide jobs was that him pretending to be like a politician yeah he's like oh interesting and that could provide jobs like oh yes yes yes could provide him with additional children too doesn't he have like 20 kids with then he's trying to repopulate the earth like all on his own yeah there already was once an official unofficial twitter dating site called
Starting point is 00:40:06 blue it was a dating service only for verified twitter users which i never having been a verified twitter user i was not aware of this but just a small fraction of the people using twitter were able to use it obviously and the idea was to match people by analyzing the contents of their tweets oh fuck which sounds just awful yeah i mean hey with the new ai maybe uh maybe they can refine that a little bit more yeah i mean they bragged that blue was the safest dating community ever due to twitter's verification system but that obviously since they have like turned the verification the verified tweet into like a mockery of what it once was they no longer can can make that claim but it will be a place i guess exclusively for racists elon musk reply guys to like find each other and date one another if they're so inclined
Starting point is 00:41:07 and maybe it opens the planet and repopulate the planet with the worst humans that you can possibly imagine rise of the pick me Elon guys all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about AMC candy. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always
Starting point is 00:42:02 felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills.
Starting point is 00:42:40 You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap. And the dealer might not even know.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist
Starting point is 00:43:03 who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:43:40 or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And yeah, so AMC has basically said, fuck it. We'll make our own candy. We'll do it live. Fuck it. We'll do it live. Fuck it, we'll do it live. Wow. Alright, Bill. Guys, I have a poster on my wall that says that.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I don't know if you can see it. Fuck it, we'll do it live. Off the famous Bill O'Reilly quote, to play us out? Fuck it, we'll do it live! Okay. But AMC has reported that they're struggling with supply chain issues with candy companies, which are now charging 33% more for their products. Apparently, AMC doesn't like the idea of paying jacked up prices for candy, which is interesting.
Starting point is 00:44:37 They love jacking up the prices on everything else. Right. But yeah, they're considering making their own candy where i guess they've they've announced they're going to do that which just seems like i don't know like off-brand candy is is a thing but it's never a thing that like seems to go very well you're actually you're doing the absolute opposite of what people want when they go spend money because you're doing the thing that all like you know kids of frugal parents or like immigrant kids or they're like oh we have red vines at home type of thing you know what i mean and it ain't that and then we then we from all
Starting point is 00:45:18 that pain become the kind of consumers are like i will only eat name brand candies because i did not have them as a child just to go to amC and then get some like Kroger brand, you know, blue label candies. I don't know. That's you're kind of taking the excitement out for the consumer. But I guess like unless they unless they do the thing where it's like, I mean, you could buy the name brand shit for seventy two dollars. Right. Or you can buy our five dollar box of candies. Like maybe that juxtaposition would help. I wish that they would work
Starting point is 00:45:46 on bettering the popcorn. Get the real butter in there. Yeah. That fake shit. When we go to our local theater, that's where we go. They got the butter? They got the real stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Not the coconut oil? Yeah, I know. That that coconut oil sometimes it it it does hit but not not like the real thing ain't nothing like the real there's no food that i have so consistently eaten and that is so consistently made me feel sick then amc movie popcorn i will i will eat that shit yeah every single. Like there's just something I, if I'm at a movie and I'm not eating popcorn, I can smell the other people eating popcorn. Um, like I, I feel like I've like missed something, you know, but right. And then I eat a whole medium sized popcorn and feel horrible. Like it, but my body is like this is not food this is bad
Starting point is 00:46:47 like it's yelling at me and i still still do it every single time when i saw top gun i was done with my popcorn before the the movie even began because the previews were like half an hour yeah it's like what do i do now yeah i i love the way that the the head of amc really tried to make it seem like this is for the consumer yeah you're like i mean with the price is so high i mean it only makes sense for us to create a high quality private as you said high quality private label i love that word almost like it does almost sound good when you're like oh it's private label brand yeah yeah chocolate candy coated shells or whatever, rather than calling it M&Ms. But really, again, you're saying that to fucking shareholders when really what you're saying is,
Starting point is 00:47:33 and so we can make way more money because the margins on this shit are going to be fat. Yeah. You know, that's really what we're doing here. But I just don't understand, like, no one, you you can't there's a reason why these these candy companies have been around yeah because they've spent fucking decades inside people's minds being like this is the only option for candy it's m&ms it's reese's pieces it's twizzlers sour yeah junior mints fucking goobers if you're so inclined you know all of those things yeah yeah like wrigley like all the all those those are like old legacy like the those
Starting point is 00:48:14 those companies have like gen like families that have generational wealth at this point i feel like there's a reason that it's not like people are like, alright, you can get our restaurants t-shirt and also our proprietary candy brand. It feels like there's a bar for
Starting point is 00:48:37 entry in making candy. I don't know though. I guess middle schools and elementary schools sell those candies. Maybe i'm being too hard on them i feel like they should go the local route and offer up you know in every city you know the local kind of candy miniatures or whatever right that to me seems like something that maybe people would be it maybe it might be a little cheap no that's too woke yeah that's probably true i'm sorry that's twirling in me yeah yeah i'm sorry your local candies we can't do that uh but i mean yeah that
Starting point is 00:49:12 that would be the kind it would be nice to have more like regionally focused concessions yeah you know what i mean like why can't i get like in la we like spicy shit yeah why can't i get spicy popcorn like just fucking do that kind of shit but again it's so funny that even again like this is like the ronda santos first disney thing i'm like i'm for the big company yeah like stop trying to fuck up hershey's money right what's wrong with y'all but hey you guys have salt and straw down there we'd love some salt and straw ice cream in the movie theater that'd be great yeah what is like yeah like what's uh what's what would be a local los angeles candy like i don't even know what the fuck seas seas yeah right oh yeah seas that's right yeah okay i mean but seas is like hmm see now i'm like thinking i'm like do
Starting point is 00:50:03 i want to be eating big old pieces of chocolate that are melting in my hand when i'm watching right the only candy like it is it does seem like chocolate is the one that gets the off-brand treatment right like those like when you would like go around i remember i forget what i was raising money for as a kid but like you you could go around and sell like the different candy bars and oh yeah yeah yeah and there would be like the caramel ones and i would eat like three of them and just like make my parents pay for pay for those ones oh yeah i remember like is that the quality we're gonna be getting is just like caramel nut bar like in private label times new roman like clearly printed on like a yeah with private label but it's
Starting point is 00:50:47 like clearly printed on a dot matrix printer yeah or or that all the labels are like on like like a big laser jet printer mailing label sheet that is like clearly peeling off and slapping them on you're like damn this is is this safe has this gone like is this FDA approved? I wish that movie theaters had sold Girl Scout cookies and a bottle of milk. That would be great for me to... Oh, yeah. Girl Scout cookies. Some Thin Mints and a nice glass of 1%. It'd be great.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I really challenge the head of AMC to really think like a fucking just predatory capitalist and think of like businesses who like oh they would fucking give it away for us to sell it at the theaters and like we got their asses but instead they're like no we'll make our own candy that no one's gonna fuck with yeah okay fine you greedy bastard yeah I'm sure the working conditions of the AMC proprietary candy factory are going to be great. Jack, again, this quote, I love it, from CEO Adam Aaron. It said, that got us thinking very hard about our candy. We realized that we could manufacture a private label brand of candy to very high quality standards, price it less expensively than our current candy is priced, and have a higher profit margin
Starting point is 00:52:05 because our cost to manufacture the private label brand is so much less than the normal brands that you've seen in our previous three years. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Yeah. Private labels. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:52:14 I mean, I don't know. Yeah. It's just like even, I'm trying to think of, I'm so fucking brand loyal. I'm kind of disgusted with myself. Like at the thought of being like, can I eat this kind of chocolate peanut butter candy coated spears or whatever weird like just
Starting point is 00:52:33 generic description that they give them well amc is doing a thing that like they you know they are a monopoly so like every it's like the place that people that you have to go see movies and they're confusing that with like people really like us as a brand. So they have the Nicole Kidman thing. They like have the AMC. We're laughing at y'all. Yeah, they have the AMC like club rewards and stuff like that. Yeah, I just feel like they're probably misunderstanding, overestimating our interest in being like what would they do with candy like what i bet i bet their candy would be really good it's giving me
Starting point is 00:53:11 big dnc vibes yeah you know where the democrats like they love us right we don't have to do anything because the options are bullshit around so we're good they're gonna love everything we do meanwhile i was like nah man i held my fucking nose in the last election yeah i don't fuck with this but there is nothing else you have a monopoly on not so outwardly fascist shit you guys kind of hide it better than the republicans that's the only reason why i'm here not because i love the fucking brand yeah like oh they're gonna love this new slate of candidates we march out who are all in their 80s it's just funny that like they're trying to take the credit for the movies like you guys like movies right well that's us we're the movie people yeah like nicole kipman's watching
Starting point is 00:53:58 the movies here and like you like movies you're that kid from school we were friends with because they had a pool yeah yeah that's all it was and i'm sorry to tell you that it was because you had a pool okay and we we stood by while you made terrible off-color jokes about shit yeah but you had the pool all right well speaking of movies disney lost millions of subscribers and a lot of people in the media are suggesting especially on the right oh that it's because they're too woke they recently revealed they lost another four million disney plus subscribers in the first quarter of 2023 that's a lot that is a lot of subscribers because loki yeah so the this is from brightbart uh headline from Breitbart Disney plus subscriptions plummet by 4 million
Starting point is 00:54:46 as studio keeps pushing transgender drag queen content because Loki is gender fluid I guess and so they're claiming that of course they have that is making yeah that's the reason
Starting point is 00:55:00 yeah the real reason is that when they bought Fox, Disney acquired Hotstar in India, which had a five-year deal to stream professional cricket. But Disney Plus Hotstar lost the streaming rights last year when they were outbid by a rival company for $3 billion. So they still have the TV rights, but they don't have it on disney plus so
Starting point is 00:55:25 it's like a thing that was driving a huge portion of their business that most americans probably weren't even aware would like existed and it has no you know no implications gender fluidity the second time that you guys have mentioned uh cricket the last week. Is this a new theme for the show? Yeah, when Sadia was on, we know we were talking about cricket. Yeah, it was Sadia Khan also. Look, cricket, I think it's the invisible hand that's guiding our markets. You know, people need to wake up. Just always watch the cricket markets.
Starting point is 00:55:58 South Asians, we're coming, guys. You better watch out. They're like, you're going to learn about cricket now. Yeah. you better watch out they're like you're gonna learn about cricket now yeah but they also lost some subscribers in the u.s and people were looking for you know to blame that on wokeness and not on them jacking up their prices twice in the same year yeah which probably has more to do with it no no it's but but they they love the Google woke go broke thing. They ain't going broke, man.
Starting point is 00:56:29 They know how to make money. Like it's not that. It's not that. They're just, yeah, they'll shed some subscribers when it's a bridge too far for the cost. But that's what's going on here. If there's any brand out there that knows their audience, it'sney and marvel and in the star wars universe right like like they're not gonna people aren't leaving because loki what what the character was transgender really they're leaving for other reasons economic reasons and and whatnot so
Starting point is 00:56:56 yeah totally agree yeah uh well i mean man look i as someone who has been leeching off someone else's disney plus account i wish i could say like like, yeah, man, I'm giving him my money. But there's too many damn subscriptions. So many. Plus, you know, shout out to the homies with the Plex servers that, you know, put the content up there. Cost free for your boy. Yeah. But yeah, Cricket, though.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Big business. Big business. This guy reminds me of. It turns out. It's starting to remind me of Succession with Jogo. Yeah. Yeah. this this guy reminds me of it turns out it's starting to remind me of succession with jogo yeah yeah because he's already he got he got some he's got like some fluctuating numbers in india as well and i was like oh this is all art imitating life yeah i feel i feel like yeah succession should should be educational for for everyone just like be viewed as like the and these are the reasons the decisions are made it's like pure ego and bullshit and trying to look cool in a meeting 100 yeah right
Starting point is 00:57:53 yeah because i think like a like a venture between paramount and another investor the ones who bought the rights so it's like you know paramount came in and swooped up those cricket rights that's what happened it's just you know it's company fighting that's happening and i guess you know, Paramount came in and swooped up those cricket rights. That's what happened. It's just, you know, it's company fighting that's happening. And I guess, you know, with Ron DeSantis being like, well, we don't need social studies books about the Holocaust. Then maybe he maybe he is a step closer to being like, yeah, we succession is the new business education show that we will show. Well, Assad, it's been such a pleasure having you on the daily zeitgeist. Where can people find you, follow you,
Starting point is 00:58:29 hear you, all that good stuff. Yeah. On all the socials, my handle is a button Portland. And so definitely look me up. And then our, as you mentioned,
Starting point is 00:58:39 our podcast is called invisible hate. We talk about hate crimes that happen in the U.S. that kind of are underreported. And so we'd love for people to check that out and learn more about, yeah, hate crimes against Americans. Yeah. And is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Oh, yeah. I really love the work of Mehdi Hassan, who's on the Peacock channel. I listen to it in podcast form, but he's a journalist anchor and he really is holding power to account. He's got a weekly show and then he just released a new book that once I have a little bit more free time when my baby falls asleep, I'm going to take a look at. It's called Win Every Argument. But he's a he's a really great journalist and
Starting point is 00:59:20 doing some awesome work. I wish that he had a chance to ask Trump some questions last week because I think he would have gotten a lot more out of that interview than what we saw on CNN. Oh, than Caitlin Collins, who used to work for the Daily Wire? I love how quickly people forget how they're staffing up at
Starting point is 00:59:39 CNN. Miles, where can people find you? Is there work in media you've been enjoying? Oh, Twitter and Instagram at milesofgray. Find Jack and I on our basketball podcast. Miles and Jack got mad boosties, hoping
