a lot to figure out when you're just starting your career. That's where we come in. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring
in people who do, like negotiation expert Maury Tahiripour. If you start thinking about negotiations
as just a conversation, then I think it sort of eases us a little bit. Listen to Let's Talk

Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 87, Episode 5 of Dirt Daily Zeitgeist, a production of iHeart Radio.
This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness and say officially,
off the top, fuck coke industries and fuck Fox News.
It's Friday, June 21st, 2019.
My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Jackula, dead and loving it, a.k.a. Jackula, dead and loving it.
A.k.a.
Jackula,
wed and hugging it.
Shout out to my
wife who just had a birthday
and I'm thrilled to be joined
as always by my co-host,
Mr. Miles Gray.
I'm your private racist
rejected from Harvard.
Got me feeling so blue.
I'm your private racist, using the N-word.
Please hit me with a shoe.
Kyle Kashuv, that guy who we're talking about, who's only racist in private.
I can't believe he sent you that AKA.
No, that's from Velveta Underhound and Ruthie Fudge.
At Velveta Under H1.
And also, I see you, Brackish Joker.
You also sent me a Tina Turner private dancer, private racist one.
And I think a few other people did.
But I see you.
I just happened to do this one.
Yeah.
Because we talked about him being a private racist.
Yes, exactly.
One of the last rights that we have as Americans is to be private racist.
And racist.
Yes.
Or wait, racist and private.
Yes, racist and private.
Look, what two racists do at home in the privacy of their own home, none of my business.
Exactly.
Until they go to work and then act that out subtly, passively.
In front of my kids.
Yeah.
Right.
Don't you fucking. Yeah, until that you fuck. Ohively. In front of my kids. Yeah. Don't you fucking.
Yeah, until that you fuck.
Oh, you recruit one of my kids?
Right.
To be racist?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I mean, there's a racist agenda.
Right.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's called the United States.
Don't get me started.
Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented Caitlin
Durante.
Hello, aka.k.a.
What do you got?
Lauren D. Titanic.
Is that a fucking legit anime?
That's real.
Lauren D. Titanic?
That's one of mine.
Yeah.
I mean, I think you have to change your name.
I think so.
The fact that you have, God, your fucking name is so good for these.
I know.
I have only nonsense.
Right.
And just like half words.
Kaitlyn Durante's anagram game is so strong.
I've got another one.
If you want it.
Lancer UTI is obviously the classic.
But Titanic is, I mean, for-
Lauren D.
I mean.
For first time listeners, like you are, we were talking about our personalities and you said that your personality
is defined by your love of
Titanic and
what is it Paddington?
Paddington
so I mean there you go
those are my two things
this is courtesy of
at Jace of Spades
Lauren D. Titanic
this one is adrenalinerenaline Cut It.
What the fuck?
Adrenaline Cut It.
You get the most complex.
I guess my first two names only add up to nine letters.
Yeah, that's trickier.
So you don't get a lot of real estate with that.
Give me a couple hours.
I'll come up with some good ones with your name, Miles.
I became so insecure after Latin Dancer UTI
because I was like, that's the greatest thing I've ever heard,
that I use an anagram machine to see what the options were.
And I was so just fucking bummed out because there wasn't shit even coming close.
Ray G. Limes.
I don't know.
That's just off the dome, bro.
Wow.
I just came up with that.
Thank you so much. Caitlin, it off the dome, bro. Wow. Impressive. Thank you so much.
Caitlin, it's great to have you.
Thanks for having me.
Add another thing to your personality.
You're good with anagrams.
Oh, yeah.
I've got those three things.
Paddington, Titanic, and anagrams.
And the radioactive.
Oh, well, you're spoiling one of my things.
Sorry, sorry.
All right, we're going to get to know you a little bit better.
Not that there's that much more to get to know.
I mean, you only have three things and we've already covered them.
But we're going to try and dig even deeper than that in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today,
such as that young people are growing horns on the back of their heads from phone
use, from looking down.
The muscles have shifted from our neck when we were looking up and making eye contact
with one another.
That was a bad old guy voice.
No, you gotta talk like this.
We used to make eye contact.
I know, I can't see.
Now we're all looking down at our dang phones.
Wow.
Where was that character from?
I don't know.
From the hollers?
Yeah, I think maybe.
Anyways, because we're looking down,
we have muscles that are forming on the back of our skulls
that are then creating bone growths and horns.
Do I have one of those?
Phone bones.
Yeah.
Yeah, so we will all examine the backs of our skulls live on air then creating bone growths and horns. Do I have one of those? Phone bones. Yeah. Yeah.
So we will all examine the backs of our skulls live on air and figure out if we have phone
bones.
We're going to talk about America possibly going to war.
Trying.
Trying.
Trying.
Doing their best.
Doing their darndest.
Folks from the Trump administration who aren't named Donald Trump seem to really want to
go to war.
Folks from the Trump administration who aren't named Donald Trump seem to really want to go to war. And the president, for the first time, is not taking the thing that I would want him to do and doing the diametric opposite.
It seems like he doesn't want that smoke.
And we're good with that.
We're here for it.
We're going to just tell Joe Biden, fuck off, man.
Just fucking leave.
Oh, dude. Also, fuck off, man. Just fucking go, dude.
Also, Nancy.
ICE has stopped updating their list of people who died in ICE custody.
That's troubling.
We're going to talk about Elaine Chao being the new Scott Pruitt.
I'm going to give you a little more texture on Tony Robbins' hell, the hell that people pay him to put
them through.
And we will have, at the end, a nice, healthy round of what we're fucking with.
What you're fucking with.
But first, Caitlin, we'd like to ask our guest, what's something from your search history?
Well, you know how we were just talking about Titanic?
I do know that.
just talking about Titanic.
I do know that.
One of my most recent searches on Google was
Rose from Titanic
enamel pin.
I was looking to make a purchase
for like a blazer
pin, like one of those little pins.
Yeah, like ones you just like, yeah, a piece
of flare, if you will.
I know of one that exists, so I was searching
for it so i could buy it
is it a like a replica of a prop from the film or of rose from titanic as a pin it's of rose oh
shit yeah so like you know the scene you know the scene oh i do draw me like one of your french
girls i saw it twice not that one but the one where she's like exiting the car before she gets
onto the titanic yeah and there's like the beautiful
reveal where she like lifts her head the ship of dreams she's like it doesn't look any longer than
the martania yeah uh that her in that outfit is there's like an enamel kind of it so is it like
is it very photorealistic or it's kind of a caricature i don't know why i'm so invested
in this i'm like i have to know what this pin looks like. It's pretty photorealistic.
Do you want me to Google?
No, no, it's better that it's in my mind's eye.
And I'll take that with me.
So yeah, I'm searching for that.
Have they, you know what would be a cool pin
is like a pin with like a spinny thing on it
for the, that is the guy hitting the propeller.
Oh my God.
Oh, wow.
That's my favorite moment.
Oh, like when it goes ass up when it's sinking?
Yeah.
That is maybe the most memorable moment from that entire movie.
I know.
And it's kind of a shame because it's otherwise a pretty great movie.
Yeah.
But-
Wait, why is that a shame?
That that's very memorable?
Yeah, just because it's like a moment out of one of James Cameron's action movies.
It's like so violent.
Well, I think that was him sort of underlining that, you know, people fucking fell off.
Yeah, I mean.
When shit happens.
And before that, I feel like all we were used to was seeing like those stupid ass dummies,
like stunt dummies hit shit.
Like when they would have to do like falls from great heights.
Yeah.
But with computer graphics, you can have that dude just fucking.
Spinning away.
Spinning down like a whirly gig.
Yeah.
I mean, didn't he get the stars in the sky right?
Or somebody- He got them wrong.
He got them wrong.
Neil deGrasse Tyson was like, in 1912, the stars wouldn't have been aligned like that.
I'm rather taking the appropriate action of telling Neil deGrasse Tyson to go fuck himself.
He actually corrected the stars
for the director special edition.
Wait, how long after did Neil deGrasse Tyson
was like, the stars are fucked?
It was-
Like years later?
Yeah, I think so.
Wow.
James is slipping.
That's right.
What is something you think is underrated?
Are you familiar
with the game Canasta?
Canasta.
It is a card game.
I've heard this.
Played mostly by people
60 to 70 and older.
I've heard tell
of this Canasta.
But I learned it
when I was a child.
And I've been teaching
my friends it
over the years. And it's a really fun child, and I've been teaching my friends it over the years,
and it's a really fun game, and I think that more people should play it.
Okay, describe it to me.
Is that the one where each player starts with 15 cards in hand,
and both players take turns in drawing one card from the stock
and discarding one card on the discard pile?
15 or 13, depending on how many players.
Say that again and look me in my eye.
Don't look at your screen.
He wills one eye and just goes down.
Oh, my God.
The eye control.
It actually looks like Solitaire.
It looks like two people playing Solitaire a little bit.
That's wrong.
So do you know it?
Uh-oh.
Spoiled your card.
It's kind of much more complicated.
So do you know it?
Uh-oh.
Spoiled your card.
It's kind of much more complicated.
People liken it to bridge because it's similarly very complicated.
But it's a more complicated version of Rummy, sort of.
Gin Rummy?
Is that a different game?
Gin Rummy, I think, is a different game than regular Rummy.
There's a few different variations of Rummy.
I used to play with my grandmother and grandfather's called Kings in the Corner.
Oh, really?
Yeah, where you put the kings in the corner.
It was like a sequence game.
Anyway, I don't know how many people,
maybe it was like an old black person card game.
My dad and I play knock gin.
Do you ever play gin?
What's knock gin?
Gin is like where you,
it's like gin,
but instead of putting the pears out,
you keep them in your hand.
I've never played gin.
I don't drink gin.
You're a man of principle.
Yeah, I know.
It just tastes like vase water.
You know what I mean? It's overly floral to me. It's like a Christmas tree.
Although I have, one time
a master bartender made me
an actually good gin martini.
I was like, okay, I can fuck with that.
But I used to just drink a lot of Tangeray.
Or in high school, that was like the thing kids always brought
because like no parent really drank Tangeray.
Right, so you could just take it.
Yeah, they didn't know.
I think that's why I had like one of my early drinking experiences
was a really bad experience with gin,
and I never liked it after that.
Mixing Tangeray and Tab.
I think I just drank it straight, and it was warm.
That happened to me.
The first time I ever drank alcohol when I was in college, I had two shots of gin, which
is a weird thing.
You don't really shoot gin.
But I don't, you know, I'll still fuck with it.
Was that the deal?
Like, was the gin?
Because you would watch your parents.
You knew the liquor they would drink.
Right.
So you knew, like, okay, that bottle has been fucking there since I was three years old.
Right.
And you're like, and that's the one.
I've been looking my whole life.
I wonder if that's what it is.
We had old granddad in our liquor cabinet, I remember.
Oh.
I drank a bunch of Canasta when I was-
Never got touched.
Just didn't put him in a cemetery?
I'm kidding.
That's not a drink.
Canasta.
That could be a drink though, I feel like.
Right?
Yeah.
What is something you think is overrated?
Harmony Corrine.
Woo!
Oh, yeah.
I went there.
Uh-oh.
I just watched Beach Bum for the first time a few days ago, and God, did I hate it.
And I hate Spring Breakers.
I just don't think he's-
Trash Humpers?
I don't think I've seen that one.
Mm-hmm.
Kids is okay.
Trash Humpers seems like a description of his career.
That he has like little culture that I hump.
Yeah, gummo.
Fuck.
Yeah, Beach Bums.
I haven't seen Beach Bums.
You had a tweet that spoiled something somewhat surprising.
I don't know if we want to spoil it for our listeners, but...
Are you going to spoil Trash Humpers or Beach Bums?
Beach Bums.
Okay.
What I'll say about that Beach Bum is that there's, I think,
like a 10-minute sequence that Zac Efron is in,
and I love Zac Efron.
That's why I watched the movie because I was like,
Zac Efron's the star of this movie.
It turns out he's not.
He's in it for 10 minutes.
It is a great 10 minutes, but the rest of it is unwatchable in my humble uh master's degree having in screenwriting opinion huh so you should
make that part of your personality instead of that i have a master's screenwriting yeah i could do
that i'm hearing this yeah i just don't want to be too multidimensional. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. You don't want to intimidate men.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah, I started watching Gummo because it was in Belly.
Wait, the movie Gummo is in Belly?
Yeah, there's a scene where they get to DMX's house, and he has Gummo on in the background
for whatever reason.
And he's like, this shitty ass rabbit stinks.
And I was like, what the fuck is, like, what?
What? Like, what is this movie they're watching?
So Harmony Koran first burst onto the scene as a child when he wrote Kids.
Yes.
Actually, what am I saying?
I saw Kids before Belly.
Never mind.
Anyway.
Anyways.
Kids is, you know, an overrated morality tale where it's like, if you have sex with someone with AIDS, you've got AIDS.
Yeah, don't worry.
It's me, Casper.
You deserve it.
It's me, Casper.
Oh, boy.
Anyways, he did find Rosario Dawson, or at least the director of that.
Rosario Dawson's career wouldn't be with us if were it not for-
Larry Clark, who's another interesting character, too.
What?
No, Larry Clark's a great guy.
There's nothing wrong with Larry Clark.
Totally cool.
Totally cool.
Just shooting up heroin with people to get the photo and exploit them.
But I don't know.
I mean, his photography is phenomenal.
I was actually having a conversation with my dad about Larry Clark this weekend.
Really?
What do we think of Larry Clark?
That's what you and your dad talk about?
That's pretty cool.
Talk about that and-
Talk about.
Yeah, on March 7th, 2001.
Track meet where he showed up and I knew something was wrong.
Anyway.
Did you talk about what you were doing this weekend with your dad in New York?
No.
You should talk about that.
That's pretty fucking awesome.
Yeah.
Todd Gray.
Todd Gray.
Yeah.
I basically hung out with him.
Do we need to do one more?
Okay, fine.
No, my dad, he's showing at the Whitney Biennial in New York.
Very significant moment in his career for art.
If you like art and you're in the New York area, check out the Whitney Biennial.
He's on the sixth floor.
And yeah, I was there too. I hadn't seen the show, so I went out there to see the show. That's why I wasn't on biennial. He's on the sixth floor. And yeah, I was there too.
You know, I hadn't seen the show.
So I went out there to see the show.
That's why I wasn't on Tuesday's episode.
And it was very, very nice.
Ironically, my mom was there too.
And we all had dinner.
And it was like one of the first times me and my mom, my dad had dinner for like in a minute.
How'd it go?
Like that.
It was fine.
It was great.
Everything's cool.
Yeah.
I mean, like it was just, it was surreal. It was just kind of, it was weird that we were all in the same place, but then was fine. It was great. Everything's cool. It was surreal.
It was weird that we were all in the same place
but then it happened to be New York.
The stars aligned
as Neil deGrasse Tyson would say.
Is it true that it's a big city of dreams?
Well, I do know
that everything in New York ain't always what it seems.
That's right.
Is it a concrete jungle though where dreams are made of?
I believe so.
The Dog Pound, New York.
Also, you said the stars align, but they didn't
align correctly in Titanic.
Unfortunately.
Back to you.
Back to you,
Miles. And finally,
what is a myth? What's something people think is
true you know to be false? Well, did
you know that
toy story is not about a story that gets bitten by a radioactive toy
the reveal of the fourth part of her personality
the fourth and final final form I've been watching
The Toy Stories with my son
Because he's going to see Toy Story 4
While I'm out of town this weekend
So I wanted to
Get him caught up
And I'm also a little bit mad that I'm missing
His first movie going experience
Oh it's his first one in the theater?
It's his first in theater experience
Where are you going? Well, where is he going?
El Capitan, I think.
Oh.
Yeah.
Thank you for respecting the name.
El Capitan?
Yes.
But yeah, he's going to see Toy Story 4.
So we've been watching the franchise.
We're through the first two.
I realize I either, I usually remember where I was whenever I saw a movie.
Like, I just, that's, like, the weird thing that my brain, like, remembers.
But I don't think I saw Toy Story 2 or I saw it, I realized yesterday that I saw it during, like, a time when I was, like, drinking too much.
Right, right.
Because I just couldn't remember it at all.
That's funny because, like, you would have been an adult and you're like I just put fucking soy sauce out
came out in 1999 which was a bad year for me so uh yeah you know a lot was going on man we were
pretty panicked about y2k also yeah yeah I had a lot of stress I'm not gonna blame it all on y2k
but it certainly didn't help caitlin are you a
fan are you excited for toy story 4 i am yeah i'm seeing it i mean as listeners as you're listening
to this i'm seeing it right now wow no matter when you listen to this i am seeing toy story
oh no what a horrible curse it just plays over and over in my mind anytime anyone listens to
this for years,
you just automatically suddenly have to start watching Toy Story 4.
Whenever you see me.
I hear it's like David Lynchian.
Like this one's like weird.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, because it like asks a strange question.
Like there are all these weird like philosophical questions
that are created by the first movie.
Like, what happens to toys after they go to a landfill?
And then they're just frozen there, sentient, looking at a rotting banana peel for the rest of their lives.
Like, that is a nightmarish hell.
And the movie, the franchise has been like, yeah, let's go after that.
Let's make that the theme of Toy Story 3.
It's like, what the fuck?
But this one, I guess, is around the theme of what makes a thing a toy enough to become sentient.
So they put googly eyes on a fork.
Yeah.
And then they're like, ah, it's sentient.
But it's like a freak.
It's just like so.
Yeah, he doesn't want to live.
He's like, I don't want this life.
Kill me.
Oh, God, kill me now.
So they've developed a God complex.
Yeah, but it's so strange that that is a dark implication of the universe that only adults.
I'm curious to know what your son's first take will be after seeing that.
What the question will be, because I'm sure that'll be interesting for a child to see and try and process.
Well, we're going to watch Toy Story 3 tonight as you're listening to this, guys.
We're going to be watching Toy Story 3, and that one is very dark.
It's a dark film.
So, yeah, I'm curious what he's going to think.
But loves the movies to this point.
They're great.
Yeah.
You know, Toy Story 2 very clearly takes place in a pre-9-11 world.
So I had to kind of explain that to him.
I was like, you know, what you're not seeing here.
We haven't lost our innocence.
He's like, actually, honey, take that DVD out, put in loose change.
Exactly.
Boy's got to learn before he watches Toy story it's weird man all those saudis
got out right away huh yeah yeah what you think about building seven boy but i mean the the uh
climax of the movie takes place in an airport like as luggage is going through all these trains and
it's just like you know so innocent yeah yeah So easy for them to sneak around in an airport backpack.
Exactly.
Anyways.
Man, remember when airports are easy to sneak around in?
Those were the days.
Wow.
Wow.
We've been spending too much time around each other.
Miles, I think it's time for you to leave for a week.
Okay, I will.
All right.
Well, after this episode.
Okay.
All right, guys, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

or wherever you get your podcasts.
or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And young people are growing horns.
Discuss.
Moving on.
Growing fucking skull horns.
Skull horns.
Let's all examine. Yeah, I was feeling.
Well, this all happened because earlier today,
Super Purdue, Purdue Pharma, Anna Hosni sends a text. examine yeah i was feeling well this all happened because earlier today super purdue purdue pharma
anna hosnia sends a text this with a news thing with an x-ray that says horns are growing on
young people's skulls phone use is to blame research suggests right and this x-ray is like
of someone the base of someone's skull with a straight up little fucking horn.
A little spike coming out the back.
I don't think I have one.
So Super Producer Anna Hosnier does have one.
She felt a little protrusion.
I have one too,
but I've had this my entire life.
Oh, right.
So I mean,
I was in utero looking at my phone.
Looking at your phone,
exactly. so that must
be why i took that phone uh my mom swallowed it was that how it works huh weird okay whatever we
don't have to explore that anymore anyway uh so as we've discussed though uh so i don't have one
but uh because i want to be young i'm gonna going to get an implant of one to try and...
To match your son?
Yeah, to make me seem cool and hip.
But yeah.
Could you imagine?
That's what the hey fellow kids type wave is next.
You're like, hey, you know, I got a skull horn too, man.
I feel that.
Your old man knows a little something about yeet.
Ah, shit.
Yeah, but that's pretty crazy.
I didn't realize.
It's a bone spur or something.
It's not that we're evolving it into a skull horn.
Yeah, it's basically that we're developing muscles where we didn't used to have muscles
because we spent so much time with our heads bowed in prayer.
I'm lifting my head.
With our heads bowed over our phones,
that we're developing muscles at the back of our skull,
and these muscles are getting little bony protrusions in them.
Oh, because it's like a callus building from us looking down.
That's what they said.
It's the equivalent of a callus on a repeatedly used part of your skin.
Do you think anyone's going to solve this?
Because I know somebody whose younger sibling had a texting neck.
Her neck was fucked up from looking down so much at her phone.
What do you mean fucked up?
She had all kinds of neck pain and stuff and like like they were they were concerned like of like nerve damage that might have been happening from
like her just basically almost being like chin to chest constantly um because i know that was
like a thing that i remember i laughed at when they were talking about in the early outs are
like do you have texting neck i'm like no right uh And then cut to this younger person who grew up basically texting or on iPad, whatever,
Game Boys, what have you, Game Gears, Atari Lynx, whatever it was.
Yes.
I'm just naming all the handheld things I can remember.
The Sega playable memory cards.
Chinese finger traps.
Yeah.
Sega playable memory cards.
Chinese finger traps.
Yeah.
But yeah, it was like to know that now,
like we've gone from texting neck to now we're building bone spurs at the bases of our skulls
is I guess interesting showing that
our bodies are starting to change based on technology.
Probably in ways that God didn't intend.
I think we can all agree on that.
Oh, sure.
I like to think that my head has an erection.
It's a boner.
For lack of a better word.
Right, right, right.
A sculler.
A phone boner.
A phoner.
Yeah, well, guys, just please look up.
Yeah, look up.
Do you ever feel pain
from looking down at your phone a lot?
No.
I don't think so.
Just the pain of when my son is like,
Daddy, play with me.
Look at me.
You missed my first steps.
And you're like,
you just missed this sick crossover
I saw on Breaking Ankle's daily Instagram account.
That's right.
All right, guys, let's talk about war.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps
claimed responsibility for a U.S. surveillance drone
that was shot down.
And they claim it entered Iranian airspace.
The U.S. says it was still in international airspace.
And the U.S. general who commented on this said that it was 38 kilometers away from Iranian
airspace, which seems like the sort of thing that we should be able to like independently verify 38
kilometers is a lot of kilometers they say they have proof right but again regardless of what
either side is saying like these are just every everybody's fucking with each other in little ways
like so now the u.s will fly their drones close saying we got our eye on you or whatever but also
i'm sure close enough to try and get it shot down
and then the u.s can point it's like you see what happens i mean like they're just shooting stuff
down i don't know guys i don't know if the rest of the world is seeing this meanwhile like anyone
who would even think to align with the u.s like i don't know except israel except israel and saudi
arabia right they're they're ready but i think you again, without Europe, it could be very difficult.
I mean, again, it's just definitely another escalation to something that is so unnecessarily tense.
Right.
And I think when you hear stuff like Lindsey Graham being like, well, if they start building their nuclear program up,
all bets are everything's off the table or on the table i don't know whatever the turn of phrase he used what was interesting though is like right
after trump first just tweeted like iran made a very bad mistake right and then met with justin
trudeau who i'm guessing was like don't you fucking even try something dude please no one
wants this uh and then they were asking when like what what his thoughts were.
Trump said, I find it hard.
I find it hard to believe it was intentional.
If you want to know the truth.
Yeah, I think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it.
So his response to like, what do you think of this is almost that he doesn't want to
further the narrative that this was an intentional act of aggression.
Right.
Because it sounds like, from what we've heard him say,
he doesn't want armed conflict, but then you have these maniacos by the name of Bolton and Pompeo
who are like, yeah, like Bolton just wants to see Iran just kneecapped,
and then Pompeo's like, I think Jesus will come back. Right. If there's war over there.
So he does believe in a religion,
right.
That wants there to be like,
thinks that if there's a war in the middle East that will bring upon us
revelations.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cool.
It's in the Bible right there.
I just wanted to make sure,
uh,
just want to make sure he knew that that's what's happening.
Do you knew?
Yeah.
You, I mean, wanted to make sure uh just want to make sure he knew that that's what's happening do you knew yeah you i mean he even said like that god may have sent trump to save israel from iran
like he said that out loud and yeah he's he fucks with the rapture right so there's that
but you know i think what we'll see is hopefully more of a diplomatic pursuit because, I mean, based on Trump's response, he does not want smoke of any nature, which is very odd.
But it seems like this is what the pattern, if we sort of compare it to other things, like when it came to North Korea, he was like, oh, you better watch out.
Right.
Because I've got a button too.
Right.
And it's a bigger button. And then all that for like a fake you better watch out. Right. Because I've got a button too. Right. And it's a bigger button.
And then all that for like a fake talk that went nowhere.
Right.
So if maybe with this, we'll just end up with the same Iran deal that he just blew up.
Right.
And they'll be like, yeah, see, I got him back to the table.
But it'll be called like the Trump deal or something.
Yeah.
Iran deal too.
Erectile boogaloo.
Yeah.
It is a weird just feeling to not be diametrically opposed to what he's doing.
Like he has this, it usually seems to me like I usually have the feeling that he has thought through what I want and done the opposite. I don't think that's probably causally
how he's coming up with his policy,
but that generally seems to be how we end up.
And this time, just by accident, I guess,
he doesn't want armed conflict.
Right.
It's a weird feeling.
Yeah, he...
I mean, he...
Totally fuck it up.
He also was careful to point out that
like he wasn't being pushed by um people in the administration towards a more aggressive approach
or he denied that like it that he was constantly being pestered by hawks but i see who's in that
room right i don't i don't believe that i mean he's he did campaign like he just didn't like war
so i think that's the
one consistent thing but at the end of the day you don't know what all these other people are
going to do plus you have an environment where he's increasingly probably becoming more erratic
based on the things that are going on with like the muller report and impeachment looming and
his re-election that could be bad like i don't know what other... He might pull some shit.
I don't know where it goes.
I was surprised to hear him say
I don't think it was intentional.
They're like, it flew into our airspace
and we shot it the fuck down.
But this is also part of, too,
in general, Iran has a different view
of what their airspace is in that region
or what area they do control
in their region. Maybe they have competing definitions of what their airspace is in that region or what area they do control in the region.
So maybe they have competing definitions of what international airspace was and that's
what happened.
Right.
But either way, that was, I think, $130 million drone.
Just think of, that's another thing that I was like, $130 million, $130 million war toy.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not going to say he definitely has my vote but uh you know uh you're not gonna
write him off quite yet sure that's right uh speaking of writing people off uh joe biden
guys what what the fuck yes i think we should leave it there okay what the fuck dude where
are you why why are you still here yeah he I mean, look, people still have the feel good times of Obama in their minds when they hear his name.
So, of course.
Oh, I love it.
That's that guy who used to just do weird stuff.
And he's had some great one liners recently.
I think earlier this week he was telling donors in New York.
He's like that nothing would change if I'm in the White House.
Business as usual for predatory capitalists.
Yeah.
It was basically the message.
Right.
He wanted to let people know, it's like, hi, the existing corporate power structure and banking structure, whatever, like, I'm not here to, you know, Bernie or Warren it up.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to keep on sucking this thing dry.
Yeah.
Because there's no real problems other than that Trump is rude and mean.
Yeah, exactly.
That's it.
Those are the only problems.
And we just want a nice guy.
And, you know, he's been all over the place when it comes to, like, the Hyde Amendment.
He's just, his record on, like, bills dealing with people of color in this country, his treatment of Anita Hill, most people know that.
Not the median voter quite yet.
People who are very engaged are starting to see all that.
So now, I mean, he got real just, what's the word, when you're nostalgic for his time working
with some very nasty segregationist senators.
He was talking again back, he went went back way back in the way back machine
and he was like i was in a caucus with james eastland and then he goes on to say briefly
channeling the late mississippi senator's southern draw mr biden said of mr eastland
he never called me boy he always called me son i thought you were gonna do the southern draw i
didn't want to i don't even care enough at this point. It's not very creatively stimulating for me.
Then he brought up another senator, Herman Talmadge. He said, one of the meanest guys I ever knew.
You go down the list of all these guys. Well, guess what? At least there was some civility.
We got things done. We didn't agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished.
But today you look at the other side and you're the enemy, not the opposition, the enemy.
We don't talk to each other anymore.
Again, a bygone era, and also you were dealing with some of the nastiest fucking racists, like, ever.
But he was civil.
There was civility.
Yeah, I miss him.
Civility is for dominant cultures to deal with.
Civility means nothing to me.
Personally, when I see that i'm like that's
how y'all talk to each other because the language on this end of the spectrum is oppression so fuck
your civility um and just an aside right when people like got very you know cory booker was
like yo you need to apologize for like this dumb shit like eastland was a very very terrible terrible racist like he was accused like
world war ii black soldiers who come came back of like that they were there was like a widespread
rape of women in stuttgart at the end of the war and it wasn't like it was baseless these attacks
on like black gis who had just served in the war and then even and, and then again, hated anything to do with civil rights.
So when people look at his track where they're like,
why are you like reminiscing about this fucking guy?
Like he was a fucking fire, trash fire.
And even there's like an anecdote about how he basically was saying,
like was trying to negotiate with JFK about getting one of his buddies,
one of Eastland's buddies on a federal judicial bench
in exchange for voting for thurgood marshall where he would block the nomination of thurgood
marshall and he's basically anecdotally by one account this is saying with rfk eastland told
rfk he said tell your brother if he gives me cox which is his buddy i will give him his n-word
jesus christ so that's why people are like when you hear joe biden be like yeah and like He said, tell your brother if he gives me Cox, which is his buddy, I will give him his N-word. Jesus Christ.
So that's why people are like, when you hear Joe Biden be like, yeah, and like, hey, I didn't agree with him.
It's like, dude, don't even bring this up.
Like, you're better off.
No one even exists in this world anymore.
Right.
Where we're like, man, I wish people would just, you know, sidle up next to violent racists.
Right.
To get maybe one thing done.
But again, when you get people to work
together there's always an exchange so what what did joe biden seed for him to get those senators
on board for the things he was saying they worked on like what other did joe biden like okay
well look we can do the crime bill or whatever the you know what i mean right so yeah cory booker
basically called him out and then joe biden like, like the old man that he is who will never apologize, he basically said, apologize for what?
Cory should apologize.
He knows better.
There's not a racist bone in my body.
I've been involved in civil rights my whole career.
Period.
Period.
Period.
He said period three fucking times.
I love the period three times also when you have to say there's not a racist bone in
your body it typically means your skeleton is just racist as a clan hook you know what i mean like i
don't know anybody who's said that and you're like that's true right there isn't a racist bone in
their body yeah like people who deploy that defense it's oh man i can i i think there was
some website that was doing a brief
history of the not a racist bone in my body defense and all these people were like these
are all nasty fucking racist yeah because i feel like it i wonder if it appeals to this idea that
like deep down i'm not racist so like even the way they're thinking about it like as they formulate
this construction they're like well you know at my core formulate this construction, they're like, well, you know, at my core, I'm not racist.
I just like say and do racist things.
I'm a private racist.
Part of the time.
Same as private racism, racist bone in my body.
Deep down, my bones are good.
All the muscle of my heart, my brain are racist.
But my bones are not.
My bones have lumps in them from looking down at my phone too much
from my skull but they're not racist they're not racist i don't know well we should do a poll on
everyone's skull bone spurs and see where they stand on the election but yeah you know this is
just more like again like joe biden couldn't just accept what the criticism was of what he was saying
or of these people and just did the things like,
I'm sorry you got offended.
Yeah.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Like, I do wonder if people were trying to be like,
but what about, and he was just like, period, period.
Just like shouting over them.
Yeah.
And then again, you know, I have people coming out from like center left being like why are we still like why are we trying to drag this guy down why are
we taking each other down yeah we gotta worry about trump because a guy who votes for these
crime bills and treats anita hill like that i don't know what how much focus they're gonna put
on writing the wrongs of you know systemic racism in this country. Maybe that's why.
And I think Nancy Pelosi was like, oh, Joe's a good guy.
It's like y'all are from the same planet.
Right.
Planet too rich and too old to understand where we're at right now.
Right.
Yeah.
So Joe, come on, man.
Just hang out.
Hang out somewhere else, please.
Don't need you.
His numbers are wavering, as we talked about earlier.
Yeah.
Well, the interesting thing, too, is when you look at the top five candidates, he has, I mean, his support with black voters is blowing out every other candidate.
You know what I mean? I think, again, I feel like if black people hear exactly what this person voted for, what his records were on busing and things like that, you're going to be like, this guy is more of the fucking same shit.
Is it just because he was with Obama? I think it's just because when you look at the other people, so the top five, Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, and harris a lot of people uh will just say oh
carl harris is a cop uh budaj they don't know much about warren is doing the best after biden
out of all those people but again i think it is just he's instantly familiar to most people
because he was obama's vice yeah right it's the same reason he's having success with a lot of
people is yeah but it also would uh suggest that he has the most to lose.
Oh, 100%.
Once information starts coming out.
Yeah.
And I'm sure if you have people like Warren and Sanders
with more humane policies on trying to create equality in this country
and throw it to Mr. Pharma Man,
what he's going to be like,
oh, I think we're doing great.
I don't know what kind of specific policies he'll have that might sway a voter to be like, oh, wait, it seems like he, I don't like exactly what his solutions are to problems I'm experiencing as a voter.
Yeah.
But that's what the debate stage is for.
So we'll see what happens because Cory Booker, I believe, is on that stage with Joe Biden.
Yeah.
So that'll be another moment for, I mean, a lot of people were saying like, look, Cory
Booker is saying this because it's going to get him on all the news shows because he's
in desperate need of more visibility right now.
But I'm curious to see what happens on that debate stage because we talk about how people
who are like in the single digits, like in terms of polling, they'll typically be more on the offensive or trying to make a
scene on stage to try and get some, you know, airtime. Yeah. I mean, this is why it's a
completely insane idea to like go easy on the candidates during the primary. It's like the,
this is, this is the process. This is what the primary process is. It's to figure out things about the candidates, find out who you actually support and whose beliefs are actually valid for what you care about.
Yeah.
So, all right.
We're going to take another quick break.
We'll be right back.

And we're back.
And we're back.
And the BuzzFeed News investigation into Tony Robbins continued earlier this week with more revelations of sexual abuse and sexual manipulation and harassment of women who worked with him and for him notably he really seemed to put a lot of pressure on young women who worked
around him to like get into relationships with him and very you know problematic shit but one of the
weirder aspects of the picture that all these investigations are painting is that is how badly he treats the people who
pay to come to his seminars like i i guess his whole thing is don't let yourself like be a victim
like fight back against basically like don't get down but the way he frames it is like you're
letting your abusive husband victimize you and uh it's just very i don't know
strange that's where the advice ends yeah basically so stop that yeah all right give me ten thousand
dollars yeah and one of the things that he does to i for some reason is he like doesn't give people
access to bathrooms and water and food during these things.
Keeps them on strict bathroom
breaks. I mean, this is very
cult-y shit where you
are putting
rules in place that
are making people uncomfortable
and taking away their agency. Yeah, exactly.
People would have
seizures and faint and have to be taken to the
hospital.
Anyways, there's-
Oh, because of their lack of-
Lack of water.
Because you're on schedule and people with health issues are like, I'm sorry, I don't
care what your doctor said.
Right.
You're not drinking water for 30 hours.
Yeah.
He's being like, don't be a victim and then turning them into victims of his abuse.
Right.
Don't be a victim to your dehydration.
Right.
Exactly.
Oh, wow.
You're really letting
your diabetes get to you
like that?
Yeah.
Wow.
Who's in the driver's seat?
So anyways,
one of the new reports
kind of added some texture
to that,
explains that he would,
if somebody was not
living up to his standards
during the course
of the seminar,
he would label them losers.
They would put a L on their
forehead while playing Beck's loser and then get them to go up on stage and
drink brown liquid that he called like a mystery liquid and it is designed to
make you sick for quote designed to have a lasting effect. So it's not like a gross thing that you swallow and get over in a moment.
It's like-
It's poison?
Yeah.
Basically, it makes you-
What?
Throw up.
A quote from somebody who was his former director of security.
Participants were throwing up all over the place in public restrooms, hotel rooms.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
Robbins' lawyer said it was just a gross shot.
It didn't contain laxatives.
It was just pickle juice, apple juice, lemon juice,
tomato juice, and a dash of Tabasco.
It's basically Bloody Mary without the vodka,
so I don't know what everyone's tripping about.
It's also Ipecac.
Yes.
Anyways, it's just really fratty, hazing shit,
and it kind of goes with his fratty behavior towards women.
And by fratty, I mean, you know, rapey and, like, wildly problematic.
Yeah, just abusive monster shit.
Yeah.
So, anyways, they, you know, BuzzFeed is asking if you have any experience with Tony Robbins, hit them up at tips at buzzfeed.com because apparently the more people who come to them with their experiences, the weirder this shit gets.
And what, 10 women have come forward so far?
Yes, now 10 women.
Yeah.
So what is he just like threatening them with lawyers or something?
Yes.
He has like a very powerful law firm that represents him that, you know, he before anybody like works for him or gets into one of his seminars, they basically sign away all their human rights.
Like it's just like he NDAs them in the most like insane way.
Wow.
So like you can't say anything about what happens.
That's just telling right there, right?
I mean like.
It'd be one thing if it's like,
please don't tell people about like the information I'm giving you
because that's like proprietary
and then I can't charge people for it anymore if it's out there.
But if it's like,
don't even talk about anything you've ever seen or heard me or done.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
But I guess, I don't know.
Is there even an NDA that would limit like, don't go and take my teachings and then go teach them
right don't make other people drink shit water right because that's proprietary abuse yeah
there's contract law where the legalese might say one thing but then there's also i think in
the u.s uh court system like there there are some laws
that are like okay but this is common sense like you can't just abuse somebody and you know right
and be like right well you signed an nda so you can't tell anyone about the abuse i inflicted
upon you poop on stage to beck's loser right um it's so weird that they put on people's
vomiting and stuff.
Vomiting back in their hotel
room, which suggests that
it's after they get home
from the
long-ass day. They're still sick.
I'm curious to hear
from the people what
rationalization the people who have the Stockholm Syndrome
like around Tony are saying
like to his defense right
because I'm sure eventually you are
he's going to have to put people up that are on his side
that are going to clear the strip
it was actually this thing
actually when I was vomiting
I became more powerful
it increased my personal power tenfold. I mean, he's obviously
very charismatic, and he
uses that charisma to
do what he wants
to people, and create his
own rules of how he can
treat people. And
I'm sure it is useful
to some people, but there's probably
ways of doing it that
doesn't involve physically abusing
them.
That's what I mean.
But I'm trying to think of how those,
those people are going to rationalize being poisoned.
Maybe like what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
Right.
It's like,
I also had a terrible GI problem because of that too.
And that,
but then that allowed me to be in touch with my doctor.
I mean,
I have gallstones right now.
Maybe I should go and drink his brown
sludge.
Please.
I mean, it sounds like he's really helping people. What is his platform?
It does sound like you're
letting your gallstones make you
into a victim. Yes.
That's my problem. He's like, now punch him.
Punch him.
It's really
wild because one of the stories that they report is
you know an eyewitness testimony from a woman who uh he brought on stage and she was in an abusive
relationship her husband like physically abused her verbally abused her and he was like yeah but
are you like a crazy bitch sometimes tony robbins said that and but so the
the wild thing is that she still defends him like as the article is being written she's like yeah
but he helped me like stand up to my husband and stuff you know why because he's already taking
people who are victims of abuse and then acted on a very subtle way where his abuse comes off
as empowerment but there's already people who might be caught in a cycle where they're like, I can look at my abuser and try and rationalize why this is not an untenable situation.
It's disgusting.
Fuck, Tony.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, just bring this shit down already.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
Why is it still happening?
All right.
We're going to do a little round of what we're fucking with.
That's fucking weird.
Just things that we're enjoying.
We talked about Chernobyl on yesterday's episode,
but Miles, you finally watched it.
I finally watched it.
I can't stop talking about it.
I restarted it after the fifth episode.
Yeah.
Because I was so, have you seen it?
I haven't seen it yet.
I went back.
Yeah.
Because I really wanted to just watch it again, knowing what I knew, and then just navigating it like that.
It's, you would, I think you'd like it.
But again, I do not have a master's degree i mean in anything that's your
major flaw i know that's why i'm that's why i'm sort of afraid to even give my take right now
because i feel like you're just gonna eviscerate it um but it's just good things yeah it's just
the way it's told and i mean that oh god i can't talk enough about it yeah fucking is moving it is
the hbo show is good also, the podcast is pretty cool,
and they do an interesting thing
where they go episode by episode,
and the showrunner takes you through what was real
and what he had to fabricate
and what details of the story he had to change around
and what actually happens.
So it's almost like the podcast preempts the articles
that BuzzFeed would write about Chernobyl. Exactly. They're like preempts the articles that buzzfeed would write
about exactly like here are the things that chernobyl didn't do like accurately right like
immediately after you're like okay this is what happened i had to do this for this like i condensed
12 scientists into one character yeah that's like the characters that are the most unbelievable are
the ones that are most accurate to like the guy who is just like you'll do as I say
now press the button that's going to cause a nuclear meltdown right and you're just like why
how is that guy so that was not real right yeah no that was the guy who was exactly as they depicted
him and the the backstory to that is actually uh with you only find out about it in the podcast.
They had to cut it out of the show.
So there's this guy who's like the bad boss the night of Chernobyl.
Oh, I'm familiar with the bad boss type.
Yeah.
As a screenwriter.
Oh, boy.
He is just demanding that everybody do the wrong thing.
And when people question him he's like i've
been working here for eight years you're a puny piece of shit like get out of my face and go press
the button that's the wrong button to press uh so the backstory to why he like was so head down
and like irrational about this is that he had in the past like been around a accident a
nuclear submarine and come home with like all this radiation on him and then his child had ended up
dying of like thyroid cancer or leukemia and like but he refused to believe that it was like
him that had caused it and they reportedly was exposed to a
near fatal or potentially
fatal exposure to radiation
right which is something that
can like a radiated person
will pass that radiation on
like or just from the clothes or whatever
yeah yeah so it's
like that guy's whole
mind frame which seems so
inexplicable is actually a true story.
And the backstory to it is one of the most interesting things.
Yeah, and it was interesting to hear the showrunners, too, be like, yeah, we didn't want to sort of play armchair psychologists, which I'm like, oh, that's responsible.
But then I'm also like, you're also kind of doing a dramatic thing, so you can give us a little bit of that.
Yeah.
But it made the scene interesting. But anyway, that's one thing we're fucking with that's one thing we're fucking with another thing fleabag season two also very
good check it out there's not that much to say about it other than that it's just incredible
i heard the chemistry between the priest and and and god and god is amazing palpable. I mean, those rosary beads, man, melting down between his fingertips.
So let's talk about Sicko Mode, this new song from Travis Scott.
You guys heard this?
You seen this?
You heard about this?
So Miles, you were noticing the other day that Travis Scott mentions Jamba Juice twice in sycamore right and i just passively
was like okay but then i like googled it and so had the internet about nine months ago also
uh to the point it's just weird to hear this man from houston like by name call out jamba juice
twice in one song like very casually he went on like i think
it was fallon yeah i think and like he did a quote-unquote blind taste test of jamba juice
where he like knew every single one even down to the flavors yeah the name the fifth one they
mixed two flavors together and he guessed them all and not staged at all but it was totally staged
like you could tell it was staged. It was badly staged.
But the fact that
he would lie about
having that ability
suggests some weird
relationship to Jamba Juice.
His management was like, you know what would be a
fun bit to do with Travis?
He loves Jamba Juice.
Maybe something with blind taste has to show.
But it's funny how he attributes it all to Kylie Jenner.
Right.
Because he was like, I wasn't really, I never fucked with Jamba Juice until Kylie Jenner.
Right.
Who strikes me as growing up in LA, there was like a style of kid who was always at a Jamba Juice.
Right.
Like when I used to work at this laser tag place, there was a Jamba Juice on the first floor.
And that used to be the motherfucking spot.
Yeah. Like that was the bar. Right. that's where kids got their drinks yeah was that jamba juice and jamba like can we get jamba jump there was like a whole so i feel like kylie
jenner is from the fucking jamba crazed generation yeah and then god and travis got ted meanwhile
there is a people were like thought it was so funny. Just like the M&M Mom Spaghetti over and over,
there is a Travis Scott remix of Sicko Mode just called Jamba Juice.
And what they did is made everything rhyme with Jamba Juice,
and it's something we're fucking with, and I'll play it right now.
This shit way too formal.
Y'all know I like Jamba Joes.
Stacey Dash, most of these cop like Jamba Joes. All of these hoes, I made all rap like Jamba Joes. I love a good Anyways.
I love a good trolly remix.
And yeah, fucking with that.
Did you see Booksmart?
Not yet.
Either of you, Jessica Williams' character has this monologue about Jamba Juice.
And she was like, you know, I partied too much in my 20s.
And I got banned from all the Jamba Ju and she was like, you know, I partied too much in my 20s and I got
banned from all the Jamba Juices across the entire nation. It was great. She's like,
Jamba Juice is great. It's a sensation and I'm banned from all of it.
And is she like lamenting that she's like ruined her ability to go to a Jamba?
To go to Jamba Juice.
Do you like Jamba Juice?
I have never been that's fine what what
year is uh book smart supposed to take place uh current oh current yeah oh you thought 2019
she was calling out the wave i was talking about right yeah yeah very specifically it's 2003 i mean
maybe jamba juice well she was talking about uh I think her character is meant to be probably in her early mid-30s.
And she was talking about having partied too hard in her 20s.
So maybe she was calling.
That was my next question, is how old is she supposed to be?
Because she's in her 20s, I think.
Is she?
I think, yeah.
Born, she's about to turn 30.
Look at that.
Wow.
Good for her.
July 31st, 1989.
Nailed it.
Happy birthday, Jessica Williams.
So I think that, yeah, I don't know what era she was talking about.
I would highly suggest you go to Jamba Juice.
Okay.
Actually, no.
You could just eat spoonfuls of sugar and take a bite of a banana.
I do that already.
Okay, then you've had Jamba Juice. I'm good, yeah. Just put grass clipp bite of a banana. I do that already. Okay, then you've had your juice.
I'm good, yeah.
Just put grass clippings in a blender.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was the one thing that Jamba Juice really got me with.
Wheatgrass?
The wheatgrass shot.
I was like, wow, this tastes bad.
It must be working.
Yeah.
It must be great for me.
It tastes like total shit.
It's actually the Tony Robbins brown juice that he gives to everybody.
But it's one of those things where you go into Jamba Juice and you'll see people who just came from the gym.
Right.
And I was I remember subconscious.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, because I'm like this person.
I'm probably going to go to the gym.
I'm probably going to go to the gym.
But, you know, let me get that protein boost just because.
Right.
Because I just want to build unnecessary weight on my body.
Yeah.
Are you fucking with Booksmart?
Is it a good movie?
Yes, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
How does it compare to Blockers?
It's similar in that, you know, it's focused around high school girls.
It is way more, like, sex positive than a lot of other teen movies that came before it.
Tone-wise, pretty similar.
Like, they're both fun teen romps.
I love her romp.
How's your laughing more?
I think, I mean, they're pretty comparable.
They're pretty equal.
Yeah, although I haven't seen Blockers since it came out,
so I don't super remember it.
Okay, but from your master's degree point of view, if you had to put one over the other, I'm sorry out, so I don't super remember it. Okay. Both very funny.
But from your master's degree point of view, if you had to put one over the other, I'm
sorry, you're going to have to do it.
I would say book smart over Blockers.
Okay.
I'll check that out because I really like Blockers.
Is the director a woman as well?
It's Olivia Wilde.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
See, this is why.
It's not a perfect movie and it's got some problems.
We did a recent Bechtelcast episode on it.
Never mind.
I'm not going to watch it if it's not perfect.
Yeah.
Our guest was Vanessa Chester, your friend.
Yeah, the homie Vanessa Chester.
Thank you for hooking us up.
She played Becky in The Little Princess,
and she was Jeff Goldblum's daughter in The Lost World.
What?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, wow. I remember when she was in that, I was like, wait. What do you mean you're Jeff Goldblum's daughter in The Lost World. What? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, wow.
I remember when she was in that, I was like, wait.
What do you mean you're Jeff Goldblum's daughter?
All right.
Fuck yeah.
All right, Steven Spielberg.
That's pretty cool.
I didn't know you were friends with.
She was great.
Jack, I mean.

I'm fucking with
is just the NBA offseason
being more interesting
than the regular season.
The league could be
completely different.
Yeah.
They announced that
Clay Thompson
is in Space Jam 2,
which has nothing to do
with what's actually
happening in the NBA,
but it got me so excited
for the idea of LeBron, Anthony Davis, and Klay all being on the same
team.
Like if Klay signs with the Lakers, they're all in Space Jam 2, and they're all, Klay's
about to be a free agent, and AD is signing with LeBron and the Lakers.
And yeah, shout out to Frank Vogel the new Lakers coach
my friend since I was in
high school yeah a little biased
little biased he gave you rides to school

Oh.
That I started.
Jack, what happened?
Well, I want to be as big as Rod Stewart and, you know, Lil' Kim. We were talking, I don't know if you heard, this is a myth that people used to say a lot
in, like, middle school, junior high, high school, that, like, some celebrity had always
had to have their stomach pumped.
Oh, I heard these things, yeah.
Who did you hear it as?
I feel like it was Courtney Love or something.
That was one.
Okay.
It all changed.
We realized there's regional.
This myth is regional.
Interesting.
So that's an allusion to that.
I get it.
