Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 255 episode one of your daily zeitgeist a production of iheart radio this is a podcast where we take a deep dive into america's shared consciousness and it is monday september 19th 2022 which of course means it is the Queen's funeral, baby. Yeah. And that reaches all the way over to the United States. And normally we would be celebrating National Butterscotch Pudding Day and National Talk Like a Pirate Day, but those have been canceled. So we could be appropriately sad that a 96-year-old woman died of old age.
Starting point is 00:02:42 sad that a 96 year old woman died of old age anyways my name is Jack O'Brien aka wouldn't it be nice if there weren't royals then they wouldn't have to lock our bikes and wouldn't it be nice
Starting point is 00:02:58 to cook them in oil in a sauce that everybody likes you know Britain would be so much nicer without a king or queen or even a Kaiser. Wouldn't it be nice? Thank you to Case Aiken. I especially appreciate the shout out to the fact
Starting point is 00:03:19 that they closed bike racks for the death of the queen. You weren't allowed to lock your bike just as tribute. I guess people got their bikes stolen as tribute. That's such a specific rule. You can ride a bike, but you can't park it safely. You can't park it safely.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Everybody has to be focused. Well, I'm thrilled to be joined by a very special guest co-host, a very funny comedian you know from Good Mythical Morning, the Star Wars show.
Starting point is 00:03:48 He's the co-creator of Newsbroke, the host of the podcasts, the Fratcast, and Pod Yourself a Gun. It's Matt Lieb! Hey! Matt Lieb,
Starting point is 00:03:57 a.k.a. Two Matts Enter One Matt Lieb. What's up, guys? And also, Pod Yourself a Gun is, uh, we finished all the Sopranos episodes. That's a rewatch podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Now it's Pod Yourself the Wire. And we're talking about... Pod Yourself the Wire. The Wire now, which is another show on HBO that happened in the early 2000s. I think maybe the only one that's better than the Sopranos. I think so. I think so.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I think it's a little bit better. But, you know, there's a lot of mixed opinions on The Wire. But for the most part, I think everyone agrees it's a good show, as far as I can tell. Yeah. We might even talk about a little TV later on, because we're thrilled to be joined by two hilarious stand-up comics. The hosts of the very funny podcast Hold Up with Dulce Sloan and Josh Johnson, podcast hold up with Dulce Sloan and Josh Johnson in which they debate things like movies versus TV, chocolate versus vanilla, window seat versus aisle seat, conscious rappers, club bangers.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Great show. Everybody should go check it out. You also know them as a correspondent and writer from The Daily Show, respectively. Please welcome Dulce Sloan and Josh Johnson. Hello. Hello. How's it going? Good.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Going great. I'm thrilled to have you guys. I really enjoy your podcast. Oh, thank you. We enjoy making it. So it's good that we're not alone in this. It's nice to see, you know, a debate show in 2022 where people are debating the real issues.
Starting point is 00:05:23 The real issues. You know, chocolate versus vanilla what do you what is uh where do you guys land on aisle seat versus uh you know the window seat i'm window because i'm a good person i'm aisle because in case anything goes sideways i want to be the first to leave everyone behind okay just. Just climbing over people. Easier in the aisle to get out of the plane. I'm sure in a window. You're pretty much trapped.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That's true. This is how I know for a fact. That you're trapped in a window seat. There was a guy. You can stop me if you've already heard this story. I don't think I have. This is from like 2017. There was this guy on a flight. With his wife. if you've already heard this story, but I don't think I have. This is from like 2017. And there was this guy on a flight with his wife, right? And in the middle of the flight, he falls asleep
Starting point is 00:06:11 while he's asleep. This is when they had the old iPhone, the one that could use the fingerprint. So as he's asleep, his wife takes his phone and like grabs the finger and just gently opens his phone and finds everybody. My man's been cheating just find everybody in the phone right so he wakes up to his ass getting whooped okay wow just non-stop like lefts rights everything she threw the kitchen sink at him nobody can get her off of him and my man was in a window seat so he's gonna have to take that one that's right he was stuck if he was in an aisle he could run to a bathroom that's true he could run towards the the exit door maybe pull on that a little bit just something yeah i'd be worried if he was next to the emergency exit because then
Starting point is 00:06:55 he'd be like i would doom everyone to death if it meant i didn't have to fight with my wife right yeah i mean because you've been caught life is over. And that window seat is you having to sit with your punishment. I'll see. You got some options. Definitely the worst seat for a combat scenario. Um, but I don't. That's your defense.
Starting point is 00:07:15 What? That's a cheating ass man. That's your defense. The man who did not honor the sanctity of marriage. And because he was sitting in a window seat. Because you also have to think about not the situation. It's why she waited
Starting point is 00:07:30 until they were on a plane. You understand? Why did she go? You know what? 35,000 feet is when I need to find out if my husband's cheating on me. It's not like he doesn't go to sleep other times. Right. She sleeps probably in the same room with him much of the time.
Starting point is 00:07:47 You see what I'm saying? She was a public audience. It's my example for why window seats are traps. Strategically, from a combat perspective, I feel like a lot of Marines would agree with you.
Starting point is 00:08:02 But in terms of my flying experience, I don't think it necessarily translates. i don't think an air marshal would ever sit in a window seat because now if anything goes down he gotta be like excuse me excuse me excuse me yeah he's gonna be in the aisle because he has to work anyone who's trying to get that good sleep yeah okay because i when i started flying i trained myself not have to pee so that's my big issue yeah right you get on a plane because i just started letting myself pee during a flight okay and so get on there you give you put yourself in the cut because i've been wearing a mask on a plane since 2016 2017 oh before covid, before COVID. Way before. People been nasty, right?
Starting point is 00:08:50 People been nasty. People been sneezing. That's true. The air been recycled. This ain't new. Can't stop, won't stop. I've been wearing a mask on planes since I was on the road, right? You put your face mask on, maybe an eye mask on, put a blanket on,
Starting point is 00:09:05 you're in a cocoon, and then they start delivering the food like all right i wake up eat my little snacky snack go back to sleep and then when it's time to oh we landed yay oh if i'm trying to get sleep you can't be in the aisle yeah but you're not thinking of a combat scenario and i think that's a really good point like what if you know god forbid you've been cheating on your wife and or husband and they use your fingerprint and then they find out yeah first of all i'm not gonna get caught second i have not had the luxury of being in a relationship and being on a plane at the same time. So I don't have these problems. The thing is, when I get on a plane, I'm trying to hibernate. And if someone's bumping into me because they got to pee,
Starting point is 00:09:54 someone's trying to tap me and wake me up so they can climb over me, or I got to get up, or that cart keep knocking me in my arm, I'm not going to get that good American sleep. When you get that good sleep, you sleep up against the side of the plane, okay? You're going to be fus get that good american sleep when you get that good sleep sleep up against the side of the plane okay yeah fuselage that's how you get that good sleep josh didn't tell you that he'd be climbing over people like a monster look look putting his crotch before a butt in people's faces look while they're in dreamland listen Listen, I am nimble, all right? I am nimble and they never know. It's so disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:10:31 All right. Well, we're going to get to know you both a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we are talking about today. King Charles III is going to be very bad for the monarchy, I think we can say. So I just want to talk about a little bit of his little character. Do we have to? We don't. I mean, we could just keep talking about it.
Starting point is 00:10:56 We can move on because, listen, an old white man's not going to be great for a white country. Who cares? Let's go. We could also talk about TVs versus movies because I loved that episode. And I think I'm pro movies, white country who cares let's go we could also talk about uh tvs versus movies because uh i loved that episode and i think i'm pro movies but also wrong yeah so we got we got a bunch of we got a bunch of royal stuff and then we also have just like debates that we could continue having listen mr o'brien yes ask someone who sounds like they descended from the Irish, if last name doesn't mean anything,
Starting point is 00:11:27 do you want to sit up and talk about your colonizer? In this case, I do because he's going to be just like a walking piece of anti-monarchy agitprop. He's going to end it all. It's going to be great.
Starting point is 00:11:42 No, he's not. No, he's not. Because the amount of listen, I was there for the Jububilee okay i've been to this ice island all right nobody wants to go there if it went over the wall if it wasn't for these royals nobody would come up there trying to go to england they need them and people don't want to acknowledge that nobody is going i was doing shows out there i'm like do y'all want to come see you no it's cold you're an island that's cold who the hell wants to come here bro you need them inbred tax shelters to keep tourism dollars coming in here so no we know he's gonna be a goofball he's gonna fall down or something break a hip catch jesus and then we're gonna have
Starting point is 00:12:23 the bald one to come in the one we want to be there is not gonna be there so you know one of diana children gonna show up it's not the one with a full head of hair married to the very black woman so yeah no i i think that's probably very accurate i think there are reasons to think he's he actually threatens the uh monarchy though like to be like everything he said is right and i think there are reasons to suspect that he is that unlikable like it's a it's almost like he was raised in a lab to be the most unlikable human being ever the the way that white people do not understand how the world works is mind-boggling. If you think this one man is going to be able to take down an institution that's been around since years had three numbers, none of y'all are paying attention.
Starting point is 00:13:16 People love them, okay? If they have to kill him to keep this going, they will do it. That's a good point. They might do that. That's actually a really good point. They might have to when he started messing with camilla i already thought that he'd get kicked out of the line of succession right i already thought we were gonna leapfrog over him yeah i thought so too everybody thought that so when they're like king charles i'm like how who what happened what where is diana so like i was very confused where like so y'all finna let camilla you finna
Starting point is 00:13:46 be with the mission it's not the first time a mistress became queen praise god i'm saying is i thought that he got kicked out the line of secession is what i thought right so now that this dumbo of a man is king it don't matter they have no power it doesn't matter as a whole prime minister there's a house of lords it's all kind of tories all kinds of shit it's already like they do nothing you can't destroy something when you have no power oh it's gonna look bad oh it's gonna look bad prince andrew don't already look bad i mean the fact that they let prince andrew stay a prince is how i know this is gonna be intact for all time. They're fine. You let that man keep his title,
Starting point is 00:14:28 it's fine. Y'all worried about the wrong shit. It's the new hole in the ozone layer coming. Worry about that. Okay? Yeah. It's too hot and too cold at the same time. This is like the one piece of good news we allow ourselves is that this dipshit is becoming the king.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I think like a good king could stop the hole in the ozone layer though you know like if he really put his mind to it but he'd have to have authority yeah he has authority from god that's how royal that's right he could ask god like hello god oh you think you could i can't do their accent but if you think you can fill up the whole in it and then God you know is like cool bro you didn't even believe what you just said
Starting point is 00:15:12 I believe it 100% before we get to any of that we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are what you're up to Josh you got anything from your search history how to revealing about who you are, what you're up to. Josh, you got anything from your search history?
Starting point is 00:15:27 Can I fight a scorpion? Search history. Josh is in Arizona, so he might be fighting some scorpions. I am in Arizona. I did look up museums today. Wow. I try to go to a museum in every city that I go to.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Do you enjoy it when you're there? Tell them about the museum we went to in England wait what museum? are you talking about Harrods? no the museum we went to yeah yeah yeah we went to Dulce and I went to a museum in England
Starting point is 00:15:59 and it was chaos because first of all it is a good setup of a museum it's very big it's it's daunting when you walk in but they they hadn't figured out yet what sections to make for kids and what sections to make for everybody because it's right it was just chaos like i'm pretty sure whatever little teacher that was lost at least four of them. Because I saw them all together as a group. And then Dulce and I are going up different levels of the museum. And you just see a random one running by.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Wandering around. For all of the antiquities that they've stolen, I couldn't figure out why there wasn't enough of them. There was a section on clocks that was way too big. Well, they love clocks over there they're a big they're a big clock island they got the big band you know what it was probably others wow it's big ben it's not as big as you're thinking oh for real i've never seen it i've just seen pictures person i was like bitch i have seen a walmart bigger than this yeah i've seen shopping malls taller than this big bed this bed ain't big remember we're from america we have more space i was like i thought everybody i thought every pedestrian was gonna get hit by a car and every car was gonna get hit by a pedestrian
Starting point is 00:17:17 yeah everything was too small that museum was big it was like you ever been like a where like a loft warehouse situation yeah yeah but where your friends live yeah right it's like i understand you getting a deal but like yeah when you're in an uber there like when you get an uber you might as well it's only a little faster than walking it was it was mind-blowing we had to get three miles and it took us like 45 minutes and i was like yeah i was like y'all but by the time we get there someone on foot that's fit enough could have beat us right it was it was like it was we got to a certain point where we're just like let's go then they had this flight simulator in there which was weird because it was a museum of history. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:08 But I don't remember them inventing fighter jets. So there's a flight simulator. Wait, there's an arcade in there just randomly? No, no, no, no, no. It's not an arcade. It's literally just this flight simulator by itself. You get into a pod. You get into this pod.
Starting point is 00:18:22 It'll go 360 all over. It'll go upside down.. It'll go upside down. It'll legit go upside down. They give you no instructions on how to use it. It's the most... Also, it's like when it was like, we might as well have just been playing fucking Zelda. Right. It was so hard to figure out. They were like, okay, you have to shoot at the other jets. They didn't tell us the other
Starting point is 00:18:40 jets were just going to be dots. They got a Top Gun game? It's Top Gun, but you couldn't... It sounds like top gun nintendo the nintendo version which was impossible and a huge disappointment right but you couldn't find the at one point josh is just lifting up and i'm like oh shit we're upside down so then it was only three minutes by the time you figure out how to play it it's over yeah and then we got up and i went over to the, cause we was like, what? 12 pounds in the Sam game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah. That's like a million dollars. Right. It's like 15 bucks. So I go over to them. I'm just like, um, I'm gonna have to go again.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Like, what do you mean? It took us forever to figure this out. We're gonna have to go again. Like, I don't even understand this. Yeah. And the guy in the British tube was just like,
Starting point is 00:19:22 yeah, all right. It was like, Oh, that was, yeah. He's like, Oh, he's like, I think you're, I got a mask on the whole British tube was just like, yeah, all right. I was like, oh, that was. Yeah. He's like, oh, he's like, I think you're not got a mask on the whole time. He's like, oh, yeah, you're amazing.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I love you. You're great. I was like, you know me from TV or just right now. So I didn't ask any questions. He let us go again. We figured out the second time. And I will say the first time that we played, that guy told us nothing and just asked us about our day. Yeah. And then put us in the pod and closed it and then we just spun forever and then the next one that we got in
Starting point is 00:19:53 wasn't the same guy it was a different pod with a woman who actually gave us some instructions right but the first one was like so you have a good day and i was like, what's my day? Nigga, how does this work? And then he closed the. Excuse me. So what do we do? And it was like door. I was like, well, we live here now. So you both. To be fair, you both give off vibes like you have some experience in a World War Two era fighter jet.
Starting point is 00:20:19 So. Yeah. Didn't let us. Josh would have been a real red tail situation he's a fucking Tuskegee Airman and I'm down being a black russet building these fucking planes have you found any museums in Arizona or is there a town
Starting point is 00:20:39 that you've been to that is surprisingly a good like museum? Richmond, Virginia has the museum it's basically a museum has the museum the it's basically a museum of fine art and it's so big because connecticut and richmond virginia had just curiously like interested people in art that were super rich for their time so then they bought a bunch of art and they left the art to the museum so So I think it was like JP Morgan left a bunch of his personal collection to this museum in Connecticut, I think.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And then the Richmond one just has, you know, that's like old, old money. So then they've been, you know, using artists to skip taxes and all this stuff like that. And so then that museum is fire.
Starting point is 00:21:24 The Richmond one is the best one that I've been to. That was a regional one. I go to museums. I do in the Chihuly glass museum in Seattle. Yeah. Love that. And then there's the Corning glass museum in Corning, New York is great.
Starting point is 00:21:38 But one of my favorite museums that I've been to is the mustard museum in Madison, Wisconsin. Wow. Museum. museum just just about mustard like just every type of mustard flavors well this over here is our yellow wing this is the yellow mustard wing and then over here we have containers and stuff from like the 1800s do you get to try is there like a sample you take samples and like me and my homeboy david purdue he's an amazing comic in atlanta uh he was like because they're like oh he could like he said you only do like two or three samples i said i'm gonna
Starting point is 00:22:14 smile on this man's face with me on the samples we want and i just was like i just smiled at the man's face and i had all of the flavors of mustard. We tried root beer mustard, which was very unnecessary. That sounds like the taste of violence. It's so stupid. Everyone's like, ooh, if a tree fought with a leaf. So, like, that's what that tastes like. They had, like, blue cheese mustards, like, hot mustards, like, other mustards. And, like, ooh, we got a blueberry mustard.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And I was like, why? So. Blueberry mustard. Fuck. like other mustards and like we got a blueberry mustard and I was like why so blueberry mustard at some point you're just inventing flavors to just justify the existence of the museum they didn't invent these these were things that are
Starting point is 00:22:55 sold people actually buy blueberry mustard though blueberry mustard and they were like oh we should let people try this that That's not their brand. Somebody's out here in the streets selling bacon flavored mustard. And they were like, oh, this is stupid.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Do you get to try it on a sandwich like a Reuben or like a pastrami sandwich? And a little spoon? A little pretzel. Okay, alright. A little pretzel makes it all worth it. Because if it was a spoon, I'd do it for the pretzel oh okay all right yeah pretzel makes it all worth it because if it was a yeah i was gonna say i'd do it for the press yeah a spoon would just be the taste of root beer and mustard
Starting point is 00:23:31 and metal and you want to fight everyone in the museum no that's one of the plastic spoons that they give you when you go get like try ice cream but yeah i like going to museums too um because when you're on the road you're like well can't be in this hotel room all day yeah and work doesn't start until eight and it's 8 a.m right yeah right and you're alone it's either you're alone or you're with the feature and you're just like a lot of people my comics want to bring their own features is because one you know your feature is funny two um because we've all been saddled with a feature i'm just like that's why now when i go on the road i make them um i have to approve my features if they
Starting point is 00:24:17 won't let me bring somebody they want to support you which i get because that's how i got on but it's like sometimes they'll send me tapes and I'm like, none of these people. You can pawn them off to somebody else. I'm bringing my own feature. I will not go through this. You want me to suffer? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:34 For your local talent? No. Well, you bring your own feature and you end up being in the Mall of America and then you find out this place that they've been telling you about since you were a child. You didn't like it you don't like that it's got a roller coaster i know that but like i there was one night we were there and there was like a nickelodeon theme park in there as well
Starting point is 00:24:56 and the first night there was a friday and somebody had like i was like oh i want to get on this roller coaster and i was, what out for a private event? And he was like, wait a minute. How much does it cost to buy a theme park in a mall? Who is his dad? And can I marry him? I want rent a theme park in a mall money. I mean, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Are we in the Midwest? But it can't be cheap. It's got to be a couple grand. At least. You brought out three roller coasters? You have to guarantee more money to them in the moment than they might make that day. And then the might money is
Starting point is 00:25:36 money. And then this is still COVID. So the mall is not full. It was like a couple months ago. And then you're like, ooh, it's the Mall of America. They don't have a bunch of... I saw seven lid stores. It's mostly lids.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Malls are mostly lids. There's over 200 stores in this mall, right? There's only three plus size clothing stores. And I was like, I wanted to show it. I was like, I'm looking at my audience.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yeah, right. There's not enough stores, bro. There's not enough stores. Yeah, yeah. They're telling me about America. They had a rainbow in there and it didn't even carry plus-sized clothes.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I was like, do they know what the demographics are out here? Because we are in the Midwest, baby girl, okay? Have you ever done West Nyack? Yes. Okay. Last time I done West Nyack? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Last time I did West Nyack, it was outside. They had an inflatable stage. Oh, look. This is what we should do. We should go to West Nyack together because this would be so much fun because it's just big enough that it's wild, but it's not so big that you can't see everything. I did West Nyack, like, I think it was last month. And you know, they have the indoor go-karts there. Yo, they got the indoor go-karts. And as I'm walking up, so I've, I've packed too much as well. Cause I was staying over the night.
Starting point is 00:26:56 And so I had my backpack with me and I was like, maybe I should go to the hotel. Maybe I should do go-karts. Now I'm walking over to the go-karts. They say, they claim that the go-karts now i'm walking over to the go-karts they say they claim that the go-karts in that in that track can go 55 miles an hour which is too fast god damn that's too fast for inside they don't you you can't go that fast past the school and the school's outside yeah don't you technically need a driver's license yeah you would think so and so then i'm walking up and as i'm walking up in my head i'm like because you don't know me but i don't drive like i i'm just i'm a terrible driver but go-karts is the one thing that i'm like oh this is like driving but it's like low stakes enough that i can let myself relax because when you're driving
Starting point is 00:27:40 in the world you're in a car like you're in a chair that could kill somebody yeah i mean like i i feel like with go-karts it's just like we're just having fun i'm walking up and as i'm walking up i hear this loud screech which is a one kid basically drifting like he really was going hella hella fast that's the fastest i've seen a go-kart go and then he crashes into the wall and you just see almost like out of a movie like like out of a Hallmark movie where the kid dies. You just see his helmet bounce. Oh, my God. He crashed into the wall so hard that his helmet flew off, bounced off the wall and then just bounced onto the track. And I thought this was going to be a very light-hearted telling
Starting point is 00:28:25 of a beheading story at first i'm glad that his head was no longer in the helmet no no the helmet flew right off became a projectile and then bounced to a stop and it even spun when it was done bouncing and so then i walk up and everyone has stopped now. Like the other people stop driving. Like everyone is just kind of quiet. And then he is holding his head because he's feeling for the helmet and he's realizing it's not on his head anymore. And then he gets up and someone runs up like, oh, my God, are you OK? Like everyone's freaking out. He's like, oh, yeah, I'm fine. I think he was more embarrassed than anything.
Starting point is 00:29:03 And so he strapsraps himself and starts walking off the track and actually got some claps like yeah like an f1 race like it was they were like like the other parents were just like oh man they held up the three fingers for dale earnhardt like out of respect yeah but yeah i did not do go-karts, but we should do them if we went back. Oh, that's smart. I one, have crashed go-karts when I was nine because they thought I was older than I was because I had big boobs
Starting point is 00:29:33 for a nine-year-old. And then me and Lace was opening for me down in Greenville, South Carolina, and they had one of those, like, you know, fun houses. It was like, it's the arcade. We got bumper boats. We got da-da-da-da-da-da. And they had a go-kart track and they had something called a slick track, right?

That sounds incredibly fun.
Starting point is 00:30:48 It was fun. There was a group of teenagers that was so awful that other teenagers did not want to ride when they were going. The teenagers running the thing were like, you can't go again. Like the bad kids from an 80s movie? Yes, the bad kids from an 80s movie.

Starting point is 00:33:23 as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

Starting point is 00:34:40 She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?
Starting point is 00:34:56 You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams dream sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and i will say dual say you did you you have gotten your wish we will not be talking about uh or king charles uh in today's episode like i'm gonna sit up and talk about my calling do you have anything from your search history? I'm actually going to look at my search history.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Let's see. You ever just seen someone who really mediocre, be successfully and just happy. Hmm. Yeah. I'm assuming we're not going to get a name on that one. I looked up who Greek peak mountain resort. Greek peak mountain resort because i gotta add on my instagram about a gravity mountain coaster what okay i wanted to see what is what's a gravity mountain it's like a roller coaster but there's no chain so like you just go up and then it like
Starting point is 00:36:22 you go through the mountains i'm gonna see if I can find the post for it. Is the fact that there's not a chain good? It seems worse. I mean, they probably have to have some type of changes to get you up. Cause all roller coasters work off gravity anyway. Yeah. It's just,
Starting point is 00:36:38 you get on the ride at the top of the, that first hill. It seems like, yeah. There's, there's still a tracks. So you're on tracks. Yeah. You're on tracks It seems like, yeah. There's still tracks. So you're on tracks. Yeah, you're on tracks. I found one before because we were going to go last year for my homeboy's birthday, but I had to go out of town.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So there's one in the mountains of New York. You have to pedal. And I was like, I don't know. Because some of them are like, it's two hours or four hours. I'm like, who the hell is trying to pedal for four hours? Yeah, you're on a coaster. It also, I think rides are more fun if it's not at a place where you're like right they are engineers and lawyers and risk assessment like assessors have all been through this and
Starting point is 00:37:18 made sure that nothing bad is going to happen like yeah this feels a little rustic and yeah half the fun of a roller coaster is the fear of death which is you know I don't mess with roller coasters because my body should not experience those type of g-forces I've been on roller coasters and been like this isn't for me because you have to understand
Starting point is 00:37:37 as a woman and as a black person who walks in nature I'm always worried that someone's going to kill me so I don't like to do it for fun I don't like to test my adrenaline. You know, I like to just really put my fight and flight in situations where it needs to be activated. Right. You know, it's like just in the middle of a roller coaster. It activates your fight or flight.
Starting point is 00:37:59 You pull a knife out for no reason. Yeah, I always have a knife in my purse. You won't get me. So I don't need to be trying to fight a roller coaster in the middle of somewhere also it's like i remember some little boy had like you know there's always like the batman roller coaster where your feet hang down so little yeah his hat came off and then he jumped in and then he got his head got knocked off but i missed that story it's a couple years ago that happens a lot yeah he jumped over like the the
Starting point is 00:38:24 fork because they're like oh the park is liable the park is liable and the park went hold up It was a couple years ago. That happens a lot. Yeah, he jumped over the fork. The park is liable. The park is liable. And the park went, hold up. He climbed over multiple walls that said, do not come in here. With little stick figures getting their heads knocked off on them. All of that. So if I am...
Starting point is 00:38:48 Don't bring your ass back here. Right? There's even somebody who says, don't bring your ass back here. There's multiple signs. There's multiple warnings saying, do not bring your little ass back here. And he jumped over all of that for a hat. And then what they said was going to happen, happened. See, this is why you need seven
Starting point is 00:39:04 lid stores inside the mall of america right so people are like a new hat yeah apparently you need seven lid stores in front of in six flags because that's how that goes down i remember what was it hershey park pennsylvania i mean they had one of those rides where your legs came down and so i was sitting in the middle and so this is the ones where it comes down over you and so they're checking everybody and he didn't check and he was like yeah you're good you're good you know some teenager i don't give a shit and so i was like can we check mine he's like you're fine i went well this and i pushed on it and it just lifted up damn oh no mine wasn't
Starting point is 00:39:41 locked i hadn't said anything right it was just about to start going and he was like hold so he had to stop the rock he told the old boy not to flick the switch so he could make sure I was secured all the way down if I had to say something I would not be here
Starting point is 00:39:57 because some 14 year old almost let me die some pimple faced bastard almost let me meet Jesusesus in the most ridiculous um but yeah it's uh apparently it's greek peak mountain resort where is it not in greece no it's in courtland new york there it is and so apparently they have like a uh it's like four hours from here they have like zip lines and stuff like that. Nice. Um,
Starting point is 00:40:26 I don't know if I'll do a zip line because, you know, that requires a lot of upper body strength. Right? No, no, it's mostly just, you just,
Starting point is 00:40:32 you're just hanging a zip lining. I did it one time and it was, uh, it was, it's really fun. They just harness you in, right? You're,
Starting point is 00:40:39 you're harnessed in and you're just like flying in the air. And it's, uh, I mean, or the sitting one, I did the sitting one there was one where you could like do the superman like laying and I was like
Starting point is 00:40:49 nah I'm too scared to do that like yourself like a pull up in high school you don't gotta hold up yourself oh you're like strapped in yeah you're just strapped in yeah there's some where you're like
Starting point is 00:41:04 yeah there's some the one where you lay I don't see how people do that because even if they tell you to just lay you're probably going to want to look up which is at least going to require some neck strength right yeah forward right and then the other one the one you're talking about those i've seen before where it's like they have this this i don't know how to describe it but it's it's almost exactly like the one where you just sit but you're holding these handles and it's and it's like i don't know if it has any control over the zip like because the zip line is just straight yeah you know i'm talking about where it's like you hold it while you're going down yeah and then there's some where you just strip hang like a baby and one of those babies. Yeah, I've only known the ones where you
Starting point is 00:41:46 hang like a little baby. I don't think I would willingly go on anything where it's like my life is in my own hands. I'm not doing that because I might just, you know, sometimes you just get impulsive and you go like, well, I could die like this and then boom.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Dulce, what is something you think is overrated? well I could die like this and then boom what is something you think is overrated um oh it is like a seat there it is oh yeah that's what I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:42:14 yeah where it's like kind of like being in a swing I can fooks with that oh man all the things I really think are overrated I can't say on here without getting attacked online. What's something I think is overrated that'll keep me safe at night?
Starting point is 00:42:34 Bananas. Bananas are overrated? Yeah. You just don't like them? Because the episode of the podcast that came out just last week was Banana vs. Plantain. Guess what side
Starting point is 00:42:52 el loser el pelderor Josh Johnson. Don't you dare speak Spanish to me. And Josh, I'm assuming you're on the other side of this with la banana you think you the favorite food of the minions was gonna help you baby boy i love the minions but i hate banana
Starting point is 00:43:18 how about you josh what's something you think is overrated um okay just because of the way that it varies because of the spectrum at play i think that the idea of going to get a massage is overrated because unless you're going to a place that you know that knows you that you have like your because if you straight up have a person that's like hey they know the knots in my back they know like all the stuff and this is about to be a dope massage going to get massages is still taking your life into your own hands it's still rolling the dice because you don't know i remember i got a massage one time i got i think it was a swedish one whatever and in my head I'm like treat myself whatever right but straight up as as as I'm getting the massage I don't know what happened but this person clearly
Starting point is 00:44:16 stopped giving me the massage for a minute went outside was on their phone and must have got bad news because they beat my ass when they came back in there like they they worked out i wish i wish i had a bad back so it would have worked something out i'm i'm living all right and they beat me senseless just clearly working out the frustration of whatever they were talking about on the phone and they didn't keep the time too which is usually a good thing that's usually a huge treat when you might get a little 60 minutes and you get every extra minute on on that massage was a travesty like and i don't have i don't have anything near me so i just assume the time is
Starting point is 00:44:57 correct you know my face is in the thing and i and i bought an hour so i'm sure that this is just maybe because it hurts so bad can't you you can tell them like hey could you a little softer or yeah i spoke up a couple times it didn't really do anything like i would just take the pain i'll just be like yeah okay you know what you're doing first when they came back i was like they they were so rough that i was like okay maybe this is a spot because they they feel it in real time right like they feel your oh you're tense here let me right maybe they know something you don't know yeah yeah but no that didn't seem to be the case because i even tipped and she was like thank you like it was wow what happened to you sometimes the thing that happened when you say certain
Starting point is 00:45:41 things i'm like i'm not studying josh today i'm not saying josh like, I'm not studying Josh today. I'm not studying Josh. Oh, my. I'm not studying Josh. Just meaning I pay for assault. I just cannot. I kind of get your aisle answer now because you are put in combat situations in the weirdest moments. I guess so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:59 This is probably just PTSD from life. Because this is actually why anytime something happens and i'm with another person i get so excited because i'm like you won't believe me if this had happened to just me you know right it's like when i was so i was with logan logan was and i were doing a show in new york this is like when we were doing carolines and logan was staying at the even hotel so i went over to hang out with him we were going to record some of our podcasts. And then we're in the elevator. This woman comes on the elevator and is like, yeah, you know, I just moved different in New York. She's like talking all the phone while she's over. I just
Starting point is 00:46:37 moved different New York. Like they talking about they ain't got a safe for my gun here. Like what kind of hotel is this? And in my i'm like i'm glad logan is here because if i had just rolled up all people telling them this story they'd be like josh josh clearly you have some mental illness you're dealing with i believe that story i believe that story i believe that story all the way i believe that story 100 because as someone with a gun they could carry it as someone who wishes they could carry a gun as someone who wishes they could carry a gun at all times because you can't carry
Starting point is 00:47:10 a gun in New York because who knows why but as soon as bastards I mean I bet listen you don't know sometimes you gotta pull a gun on somebody and it is just what it is I mean I don't know sometimes you gotta pull a gun on somebody i mean i don't know what kind of i mean hey like i said i'm a woman in america
Starting point is 00:47:31 you already told me like listen because like i said on twitter one day and i was like so y'all got self-defense classes mace boom six tasers don't walk alone at night don't dress a certain way you way women all of these things and not be attacked right but as soon as a woman gets attacked nobody believes her yeah both things can't be true yeah yeah you can't just be selling a bunch of bigfoot equipment and then when somebody's like hey i caught bigfoot nah that doesn't sound plausible all right right you need to stop being ridiculous you owe me a 10 foot by four foot cage that's what he was here for right and then bigfoot's like oh you're like that's just a dude in a suit no yeah
Starting point is 00:48:17 yeah so because y'all don't want to believe us now i gotta say strapped up i will say what's crazy about people we're all raised different we all like have different temperaments live different lives whatever everyone knows how to act when a gun is pulled on yeah you could have the worst home training of all time and still somehow you you get real polite. You're pretty agreeable. Sir. Can I call you sir? How much of my money would you like? I do have an ATM card in case. I don't know. Hey listen that's why
Starting point is 00:48:53 I try to keep at least $100 on me like hey man I ain't got it. But here's something that you don't have to forge. Here's just enough for you to not want to shoot me anyway. Some guy tried to rob my brother. He was with his friend. It had like snowed in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Like nobody outside except this one dude who was robbing people. And he had seen. One set of tracks in the snow. Right. And it was, it wasn't, it wasn't when Jesus carried you. Right. And so he had saw the guy because like his friend had taken money out the atm so he could like pay his bills and so the guy saw my brother's friend take the money out the atm so
Starting point is 00:49:32 he's like give me your money he's like i don't have it he's like i think i just saw you taking money out and then he looked at my brother and he was like give me your money my brother's like i don't have anything i I'm poor. He had to do it. He just walked away. This dude took that dude's money, took his phone, whatever. My brother was like, I have nothing. My mama was like, how do you still have a phone
Starting point is 00:49:57 and a wallet? He's like, I told him I didn't have shit. He believed me. I think he only believed him because he just took $ 200 in a phone from this other dude yeah yeah yeah exactly and there might have been a different situation if he didn't get nothing from me to one of them he might have been real mad yeah but if it's just he's like i ain't got no phone as good as his friend didn't go yeah you do like that's like yeah snitching on you yeah during a robbery if i'm going down we're all going down all right
Starting point is 00:50:31 my friend in savannah got robbed and it it was a group of me got robbed so already it's a little embarrassing because they're like they're like three dudes get robbed by two dudes so already that is embarrassing yeah and then the guy said the guy said he had a gun but he'd never showed it and didn't have it in his hand when he was you know when he was trying to like roll up on him and so then the biggest dude in the bunch the biggest dude so he rolls up on him he's like hey you know come about everything and you know i got a gun don't make me show it blah blah and so there's a moment where clearly the robber has lost full confidence where he's like i hope they believe me then there's a moment where my friend is like does he have a gun and then it all like the whole silence gets broken by the biggest dude out of them grabbing his wall, being like, here you go.
Starting point is 00:51:27 And what happened? They were just like, I guess you've just decided how this dance is going to go. Afterwards, those dudes run off with their wallets and stuff. And then he asked me, he's like, what is wrong with you? Why would you like they didn't they didn't have they at least didn't have the guns in their hands in that moment. They're just two dudes in our faces. Right. Yeah yeah and then i'll never forget this dude because he big but yeah he was like why would you do that what's wrong then he goes i was in shock this this six four as i was in shock i didn't know what to do he didn't want no problem thank god i've never been in that situation but you know it's because you want to think you'll be like no uh like a dude i know he first moved to atlanta from birmingham and dude rolled up
Starting point is 00:52:20 bottom with a gun and was literally like hey you know what this is and he was like man come on i just moved here he was like okay but give me your shit he was like just moved here is good it's like you know you're really giving your city a bad name right now all right just give me a week to move my shit in bro at least like i gotta get a new car i don't even know my address and everything and the guy was like like, yo, man, I don't care. All right. Well, help me open some boxes at least. I've got Ikea furniture that needs to be rebuilt. I just got here.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I don't even know my address. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Starting point is 00:59:39 the spam is also like hey i don't tell you twitter these robots racist as hell okay right yeah i don't have to do the carnal work because i was like because basically if you report it as any other thing it's like this is how this person heard my feelings i'm a big mute guy i go mute every time i don't block because i don't give people the satisfaction of the block because then they post like oh i guess they could handle a little online debate but if you just mute them they're just talking to themselves for months sometimes it's great i'll check in on them too and they'll still be mad and i'm like all right i'm living rent free because because you just not engaging drives people fucking crazy. I love it.
Starting point is 01:00:27 But as soon as you're blocked, then you can't you can't continue the conversation. But I don't want. No, but I'm saying the crazy guy who's saying the racist stuff, he's going to he's going to just move on to another target. You mute him and then you're still the target for a while and he's just in his room going why hasn't she responded to my racist oh you're saying that that's that's the worst kind of jail that's a jail they don't know they're in jail right yeah twitter i don't go on twitter because i think it's a hellscape and i to this day i still don't know how that actually works but like for me it's that whole well they couldn't handle a little bit once i blocked like my friends know i'm very good at like cutting off
Starting point is 01:01:14 some people like cutting someone off if they have been hurtful or disrespectful to me and if they don't feel like they need to apologize and are going to apologize then you no longer get to be friends with me yeah because friend breakups are just regular breakups but if you have taken the time to decide that you're going to be a hot-buttered asshole then i am going to take my good time and not fucking speak to you even when i see you yeah well i'll do the mute online i do the oh yeah yeah yeah there you go like that yeah you're going to stand directly in front of me and you're going to see me say hi to everybody because one of my friends he thinks he's doing that to me right now and when he doesn't know
Starting point is 01:02:03 that i'm also doing that to him. Yeah, mutual muting. Mutual muting. Now, who's going to talk first? I don't know. It should be him because he started this goofy shit. But at the end of the day, he was an acquaintance to start with. So an acquaintance, if you lose an acquaintance, you lose nothing.
Starting point is 01:02:20 But you have to think, has my life changed at all since not speaking to this man no has my life changed at all i'm not speaking to this girl no if your life does not change in a significant way from not speaking to somebody then really what value were they adding to you in the first because people want to act like well you just be friends everybody is friends with somebody because you get something from it right period whether it's you know it's me and me and josh are friends because me and josh have a shared experience and we understand each other and we laugh and we talk or whatever we and josh are friends because we like talking to each other and we understand each other but if it gets to a point with somebody where it's like this isn't
Starting point is 01:03:10 working or this isn't then you lose that person and that is fine and it can be hurtful as it is but you have to know somebody's a fucking acquaintance and they're coming at you with friend you're like hey hey hey hey hey hey you're doing too much you're doing too much yeah this is like i'm that's why i'm very careful about who i give my phone number to or like because there's somebody was like oh we're friends and i'm like bro i know you because stand up if it wasn't for stand up i wouldn't know you you have to call i say the same thing to my sister i'm like listen i know you because we grew up in the same house but like we're not cool with each other so stop trying to invite me to christmas you know i mean it's dark man i mean that's something between you and
Starting point is 01:04:02 your mom and your family well not only't know about all that over there. Well, not only do we not have time to get to the stories, we didn't have time to get to our underrated, but we got plenty of great underrateds like the mute reporting spam, the muting people in real life, calling people acquaintances instead. I feel like that
Starting point is 01:04:20 would be like, you are an acquaintance is a great thing to say to somebody. We're friends. We are colleagues. Colleagues, nothing more. Colleagues. Colleagues. Home workers.
Starting point is 01:04:34 No habitants. Like, don't like. We are not friends. We are lovers. Also, and honestly, like, saying lovers in this day and age is a weird thing to say sometimes that's what it is it's like that's funny that's sometimes it's like people want to say friends
Starting point is 01:04:50 with your lovers no no no we're lovers in the night time we're lovers in the night time yeah because it implies friendship when really it's just loverdom well friends friends with benefits means you were friends first and then you started hooking up yeah lovers is somebody you hook up with and they don't think you know where. A woman once told me, she said, I've taken a young lover and I thought that was kind of a cool way of saying it. How old was she?
Starting point is 01:05:13 She was like 31. And her boyfriend was like... She's not old enough for people saying that sentence. Yeah, I know. She can say that sentence if she's from 1772. Or 30ss middle age pretty much but no if you're not a cougar taking a young lover yes i'm almost taking a lover age and i'm not excited about it at all but yeah so i guess we did what we were supposed to do today yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:05:41 uh we'll say where can people find you follow you get reported as spam by you i am uh listen you do it to yourself you know don't act like i did it like somebody said to me he's like oh you got that guy fired i said no he got there you go it's d-u-l-c-e-s-l-o-a-n on all the social medias my underrated is shalewa Sharp.

Starting point is 01:09:18 Yes, there is a tweet that I've been laughing at for a while now. It's from comedian writer Tim Barnes. Right after the queen died, he tweeted, her final words were, elves can't be black. Which is, you know, a lot of the people with the new Lord of the Rings show are losing their minds over black elves. So I thought that was very good.
Starting point is 01:09:44 You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien, a tweet I've been enjoying. Patrick Radden Keefe tweeted, NYT reporter. So what we found was that two plus three equals five, the daily. Huh? Wait,
Starting point is 01:09:56 wait a second. I just want to make sure I understand this. So what you're saying is that two plus three equals five. New York Times reporter. Exactly. That's a great way to put it. Which I thought was a good light ribbing of the daily. They do some good reportage.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Sure. But, you know, sometimes I'm just like, what do we need Barbaro for? I'm sorry. And then Matt McDermott tweeted, this is why I love Baltimore. And it's a picture of one of those baby changing tables. And somebody wrote in Sharpie on it, place sacrifice here.
