Speaker 1: I'm um, but anyway, this is the podcast where we
Speaker 1: take a deep dive into America's shared coup. American Shared
Speaker 1: Consciousness was another hiccup. It is Wednesday, April six, two
Speaker 1: thousand twenty two, which means it's not National Hiccup Day.
Speaker 1: It's National walking Day. It's National Sorry Charlie Day, which
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that means. And uh, it's New
Speaker 1: Beer's Eve. I don't know what that means either, but
Speaker 1: I just think it's a clever name. I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: about these hiccups. And look, I know people are probably listening.
Speaker 1: While they're listening to say, do the thing where you
Speaker 1: think of a pink elephant and goulf water or invert
Speaker 1: your body and take a sip or super super producer
Speaker 1: Becca was like bet hinge at the waist, put some
Speaker 1: water in your mouth, rotate your right arm clockwise when
Speaker 1: it gets the twelve o'clock, then take a sip. None
Speaker 1: of them work. I have a feeling to just go
Speaker 1: away because they are just diaphragms patterns. Anyway, I'm Miles
Speaker 1: great the hiccup you want a k A. You know
Speaker 1: that's a bad look for you. You've got catch up
Speaker 1: all on your fingers. Miles, you have to keep it limber, Miles.
Speaker 1: You have to, Miles, you have to, Miles, you have
Speaker 1: to give in limber. Okay, thank you. Yes, you can
Speaker 1: see that a finger came up to the ear so
Speaker 1: that you could hit that final note for you. Look,
Speaker 1: when you're honoring the cranberries, you gotta know because there's
Speaker 1: you gotta hit that harm you It have to. People

Speaker 1: you anyway, Chef Miller, thank you for that iconic cranberries
Speaker 1: A K yes, A lot of catch up on our burgers.
Speaker 1: You're referencing. Yes, my grandfather's a piece of advice for
Speaker 1: me and his old age. Just stretch your body. Just
Speaker 1: don't not stretch. That's the worst thing you can do.
Speaker 1: Sage wisdom from our elders. But I'm thrilled to be
Speaker 1: joined by my guest co host today, who I don't
Speaker 1: even need to introduce her because you heard her laugh
Speaker 1: and you go, oh, there was magic in my ears,
Speaker 1: and that's right. The trend will continue. Please welcome Joel.
Speaker 1: I would like to go on recorded saying I think
Speaker 1: your hiccups are adorable. Um, I hope they as long
Speaker 1: as they're not becoming uncomfortable for you, because they're a
Speaker 1: delight to my ears. The only discomfort is at most
Speaker 1: maybe the listener and then me being like, come on, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: get it together. You want to because in your hiccup
Speaker 1: him like some slab. But you know what I'm I
Speaker 1: don't want to speak too soon. They may have subsided. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll take that. We'll take that. What else do we
Speaker 1: do on this show? We have a guest co host,
Speaker 1: that's cool. Maybe we could just you and me could
Speaker 1: do the show. We don't even need a guest today,
Speaker 1: because I feel like there, I know, but things are
Speaker 1: going so well right now, my hiccups just subsided. I
Speaker 1: feel like if I introduced this agent of chaos into
Speaker 1: the mix, that my hiccups will become resurgent. And then
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about nonsense for forty minutes straight. You
Speaker 1: know what funking I want to do that. Let's let's
Speaker 1: welcome our guest today, the fucking just the master of
Speaker 1: chaos himself. I mean, I could introduce him like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's like a really talented stand up comedian. Uh, you
Speaker 1: might know his other podcast, Blake's Takes for God's Sakes,
Speaker 1: or maybe just like his various works of comedy, and
Speaker 1: you know he's touring all the time. But I know
Speaker 1: him as the Lord of Chaos. Please welcome Mr Blake Waxler.
Speaker 1: By everybody, this is Blake Wexler a k A. A
Speaker 1: smell Wexen Kass, Joe Wells lounge in in Jack's check
Speaker 1: wise Blake cast in mischievous Stair's INSIGHT's direction, Miles, this
Speaker 1: surely is a dream. Yeah. At the top of the tone,
Speaker 1: doesn't you're throwing a random dig it? Oh, there's a
Speaker 1: digg it in there. I didn't want to take that
Speaker 1: many liberties, and for me, I don't have a confidence
Speaker 1: for a diket, But yeah, Marcy took a dig for sure.
Speaker 1: Was Marcy Playground story? We know A great question, like
Speaker 1: was that like a playground they played at? I know,
Speaker 1: like I remember going up the rumor Lincoln Park was
Speaker 1: called Lincoln Park because they wanted to be near Limp Biscuit.
Speaker 1: When you're like at Tower Records, WoT. I don't even
Speaker 1: know if that's true. This was in the era of
Speaker 1: all of the bad rumors that were word of mouth.
Speaker 1: I think Marcy Playground wanted to be near Macy Gray.
Speaker 1: I think is why they did it. So do you
Speaker 1: guys with the Wikipedia answer doesn't want to keep just there?
Speaker 1: I guess. Okay. The band is named after the Marcy
Speaker 1: Open Grade School in Minneapolis, which is the alternative school
Speaker 1: John Wozniak attended. Oh okay, so it's relave. Yeah. I said.
Speaker 1: He chose a name because many of his songs were
Speaker 1: inspired by his childhood. So there's some depth there that
Speaker 1: I didn't see coming. I like that, right, Yeah, Blake,
Speaker 1: what's new? What's so? How how you been since the
Speaker 1: last time? Since last week spoke. Since last things have
Speaker 1: been so so so good, and now since watching your hiccups,
Speaker 1: I honestly have It's weird because I Joel was very
Speaker 1: sweet and said and said what I do feel in
Speaker 1: my heart. But I also do see it as a
Speaker 1: disadvantage for you and a way for me to a
Speaker 1: certain dominance in a conversation. So everything I say, you're like, well,
Speaker 1: really that sounds smart. Folks, you got to leave this guy,
Speaker 1: you know, like how a good guest tries to do
Speaker 1: certain dominance. Just every time it's like, I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: wish I could take this. What the point you're trying
Speaker 1: to make about kittens Brown Jackson? You know, like have
Speaker 1: it connected? But it just sounds so jokey with your
Speaker 1: cartoon hiccup. Also, I wasn't listening. We're good, So we're good. No,
Speaker 1: I think we've made it. I think we've crossed the
Speaker 1: rubicon into non diaphragm mogel bulls spasms. Bill. Okay, both
Speaker 1: terms are like kind of jarring or hiccup is a
Speaker 1: very jarring term to hear like audibly, and then diaphragm
Speaker 1: spasms also gives you like like kind of makes you
Speaker 1: recoil when you hear you know, they're like a little
Speaker 1: over the top. Yeah, diaphragm spasm does feel like like
Speaker 1: some kind of like you're you're on your way to death,
Speaker 1: like if you're like and then they had the diaphragm
Speaker 1: spasm saying it was really bad. That's like right before
Speaker 1: the death rattle is exactly. First you cough really quietly
Speaker 1: into a white handkerchief and there's a little blood, and
Speaker 1: then the next step is he's got the diaphragm spasms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where's your handkerchief that you usually carry around with you,
Speaker 1: my little blood handkerchief, like your blood shift. There was
Speaker 1: a tweet I forget like maybe a year ago that
Speaker 1: someone wrote that was just so funny about how how
Speaker 1: gentle people are with that cough into the white handkerchief.
Speaker 1: In the film, it's always like just so light. And
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, yeah, that's slow reveal of like,
Speaker 1: oh it's tuberculosis, got the burks, you got the burks,
Speaker 1: you got the burks. Fam Joel, You're right, the slow
Speaker 1: reveal makes it because if it was the other like
Speaker 1: this way, you're like, oh no, oh no, it's just
Speaker 1: a cough. And now now they're gonna die tragedy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just like or they're going up as flight is there?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Mama, I'm fine. You go ahead, you
Speaker 1: go ahead. They wipe their mouth insert shot, bloody handkerchief.
Speaker 1: Papa is in trouble anyway, let's tell that you know
Speaker 1: more to say on this. Also with the handkerchief thing,
Speaker 1: it is funny that they do tuck it away, you know,
Speaker 1: or they don't tell anyone. They're like, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. No one's every I'm bleeding out of my mouth.
Speaker 1: I'm black, guys, I'm blaeding. I'm bleeding. When nobody ever
Speaker 1: draws attention to right, no one's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: is this bad? Look? Look mom? Mom? Am I contagious?
Speaker 1: Should I not be around the children? It really should
Speaker 1: be the first soldier on valiantly make everyone of else
Speaker 1: my house sick. Right, It's like, well, I don't want
Speaker 1: to look vulnerable because then I'll be a nuisance. I'll
Speaker 1: just endanger everyone else. That's really wonderful. No, I do
Speaker 1: want to keep talking about that, because you wouldn't just
Speaker 1: have a bloody cough out loud, scaring everybody coughing all
Speaker 1: over like the white table cloths. People would be nerve
Speaker 1: because I guess is that like the earliest version of
Speaker 1: hiding your zombie bite. I mean, think about it, like
Speaker 1: the whole Vami purism, Like the entire genre comes from
Speaker 1: the Victorian ror where we're dealing with a lot of
Speaker 1: new diseases and a lot of death happening. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me that like, out of the
Speaker 1: horror genre, what comes after vampires is typically zombies and
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know they were trying to hide the chickness.
Speaker 1: We still had to go to work and there was
Speaker 1: no social help at that time. Mutually aid to come
Speaker 1: in and end up with your family. Oh you got sick. Sorry,
Speaker 1: your family is on the street. You gotta just deal
Speaker 1: with that. It's just like, oh, you're sick. Oh what
Speaker 1: do you say? You're sick. You're sick. You're sick. Has
Speaker 1: not chosen him, Yeah, the devil got in him. So sorry.
Speaker 1: I'll just say this. It's all about preventative care. If
Speaker 1: if you're coughing blood check speak to a doctor. And
Speaker 1: that's not medical advice. That's just me watching a lot
Speaker 1: of movies and being like, if they spoke to the
Speaker 1: doctor this movie would be less interesting. But anyway, let's
Speaker 1: talk about what we It is always a red handkerchief too,
Speaker 1: you know, or never red, usually white. It would be
Speaker 1: funny if it was red. And it's like, guys, am,
Speaker 1: I is there blood on this? I can't say is
Speaker 1: it blood or is it you're rubbing on something white
Speaker 1: and see if the red comes off? Yeah? Rub them together?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And then that's an added ten minute scene
Speaker 1: of everybody arguing the best way to determine whether or
Speaker 1: not the red handkerchief doesn't in fact have blood on it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we can keep doing this for a long time, but
Speaker 1: let's tell people what we're gonna talk about. First off,
Speaker 1: Fox viewers attitudes can shift if they watch enough CNN
Speaker 1: New research says maybe pretty good, right, pretty good. See,
Speaker 1: I'm auditioning to be on the Also, the all Q
Speaker 1: and on everything train continues. Now that you know, a
Speaker 1: few senators on the g OP side said, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not totally racist. We we think Katazi Brown Jackson should
Speaker 1: be in the Supreme Court. And that got some interesting
Speaker 1: responses from their fellow Republicans. Well. Also, just I just
Speaker 1: have to talk about like what flexing even is anymore
Speaker 1: in the age of Logan Paul, who's a troll flex
Speaker 1: or um, because we'll talk about how he pulled up
Speaker 1: with a five million dollar Pokemon card around his neck. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll get to all of that. But first, Blake, what's
Speaker 1: something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1: What if the handkerchief was like you know the Magic
Speaker 1: Trip where they keep drawing all the handkerchiefs out of
Speaker 1: their sleeve. It's like endless handkerchiefs and they have to
Speaker 1: cough in each individual one until they're out of blood.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But okay, that's what I
Speaker 1: just Google search. No, my, my Google, it was a
Speaker 1: very long one, and I what if you have one
Speaker 1: of those really long handkerchiefs. What if? You know how
Speaker 1: all the all the revelatory Google searches start with what if?
Speaker 1: That's that's how they start? Uh? No, my Google search
Speaker 1: was Jim Nance tie T I E. And that is
Speaker 1: because so Jim Nance is a well known broad sports
Speaker 1: broadcaster and he does n C Double A Games and
Speaker 1: also does The Masters, which is coming up, and he
Speaker 1: did this weird thing for years and I was trying
Speaker 1: to figure out if he still did it where at
Speaker 1: the right he would take his tie off after the
Speaker 1: college basketball final and give it to his favorite child
Speaker 1: who was I mean, they're the college kids, but would
Speaker 1: give it to his favorite college kid in the tournament,
Speaker 1: and no one knew why he was doing it. It
Speaker 1: was so fucking weird. Where is the biggest moment in
Speaker 1: this kid's life? Just won the championship, holding their their mother,
Speaker 1: their dad, their families there, and then this weird man
Speaker 1: with thing hair. Hey, yeah, but it's coming with a
Speaker 1: garment like like and they're like, I don't know what this.
Speaker 1: No one ever knew what the hell it was. Tie,
Speaker 1: You're welcome here, it's my used tie. It's They're like,
Speaker 1: we don't know who you are. Oh it's me Jim Nance. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, are you Are you um the chancellor of
Speaker 1: the school or something. No, No, I'm the I. I
Speaker 1: worked for CBS Sports. Oh I talk while you play.
Speaker 1: I made you famous. Yeah, your talent was good, but
Speaker 1: the way I announced it really delivered at home to
Speaker 1: the people. God, okay, thank you. You playing for free
Speaker 1: allows me to make all this money nice ties and
Speaker 1: give them to a kid. The least I can do.
Speaker 1: Why aren't we following this? I think it's pretty clear
Speaker 1: what's happening right here so weird. But he doesn't do
Speaker 1: it anymore. I don't think, thank god, because it hasn't
Speaker 1: been it right because I feel like that was were
Speaker 1: people just like yo do? What did he ever explain
Speaker 1: why he stopped was because people were like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? I'm sure he does have some I like,
Speaker 1: not enough of like lack of self awareness to continue
Speaker 1: to do this, because I think it became people are like,
Speaker 1: you know, all right, what are you doing? Like? And
Speaker 1: it's not. What you're doing isn't technically illegal or wrong
Speaker 1: or against the rules, but it is. We don't like it, Like,
Speaker 1: no one likes what you're doing. It's strange you just
Speaker 1: stopped doing it. It makes you like this weird. It's
Speaker 1: as if you're trying to say you're also some d
Speaker 1: of a judicator of what happened in the tournament. You
Speaker 1: created your own Jank Gass m v P award where
Speaker 1: you're like and the tie of Jim Nace goes to
Speaker 1: this young man. All right, folks, is this on TV? No? Okay? Well,
Speaker 1: I just want you to know that that's for me.
Speaker 1: It's so strange, so strange. So I wonder who have
Speaker 1: the past Thie recipients been. I think it was maybe
Speaker 1: Ryan Archida. I only remember because I think Villanova was
Speaker 1: one of the last ones. And yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: was the last one who got it in seventeen. It's
Speaker 1: just it's so weird. It's it's one of those things
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound that weird. But then if you it's
Speaker 1: a thing that does happen in real life and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that would be very strange. If a man approached me
Speaker 1: with a like yeah and began undressing, He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you, and you're taking your
Speaker 1: tie off. I'm like, yo, what what? Why? Is nobody?
Speaker 1: What reason? Like, are you trying to box me like
Speaker 1: an old action film? That's why you're loosening your tie? Um, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll get to know game. Do we know why? And
Speaker 1: is there can we find any correlations between Taie recipients
Speaker 1: and then what happens in their careers? Is it a curse?
Speaker 1: It is like the new Madden curse. I need to know, Blake,
Speaker 1: what something you think is overrated? Overrated? Hot coffee? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Okay, hot coffee. I'm a joe. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna win you over here, but
Speaker 1: it's it's okay. She's accessing her hard drive space with
Speaker 1: that I roll. I I am backpedaling physically as I'm
Speaker 1: speaking at the room out of intimidation. I prefer I
Speaker 1: just think, if you get a good coffee, it's better
Speaker 1: cold as a cold brew because you can actually taste
Speaker 1: not the way I just said. Actually, I don't like
Speaker 1: that that that's in my personality. Because you can actually
Speaker 1: taste the nuance of the coffee. What was I doing before?
Speaker 1: You weren't actually tasting it? Um you think you were,
Speaker 1: but you weren't. Like you weren't right, you think you
Speaker 1: don't have no idea. I think for a high quality coffee,
Speaker 1: you can taste a little bit better. And I run hot,
Speaker 1: and I think depending on if there's like a staircase
Speaker 1: I have to climb up, or if the weather is
Speaker 1: just a few degrees too warm, I'm sweating while drinking cola.
Speaker 1: I can't. I cannot drink hot coffee when the sun
Speaker 1: is out right. I've the times like I'll take my
Speaker 1: dog on a walk, I'll go to this coffee shop
Speaker 1: I'll get like hot coffee if it's like in the
Speaker 1: morning and it's cold. The second that ship goes above
Speaker 1: like sixty fucking five, which is which is very hot
Speaker 1: to me as an Angelina in the morning, I'm like, nope,
Speaker 1: I need someone on nice now. I don't feel on that.
Speaker 1: I can no longer drink straight coffee, which I think
Speaker 1: I talked about with Jack but not you guys. So listen,
Speaker 1: it's I love coffee as a kid. You know. Once
Speaker 1: I got into middle school, my friend and her mom
Speaker 1: and I could do like three hoots of coffee in
Speaker 1: an afternoon. It was a problem. We drank way too much.
Speaker 1: The way you you mentioned that, you act like you
Speaker 1: had some like operation going. We're like, yeah, we were,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, listen. So here's what happens. Her mom puts
Speaker 1: it on in the morning, and like, if I spend
Speaker 1: the night there, we'd be up by like ten in
Speaker 1: the morning. So then we come down after her and
Speaker 1: we get our coffee, and her mom is one of
Speaker 1: those like four down cup drinkers. You know, she was
Speaker 1: going she either had a diet coke in that thing
Speaker 1: or coffee. I don't know if it ever got washed,
Speaker 1: you know, what I mean. It was like coffee diet
Speaker 1: cochlear all the time. And then you know, so we
Speaker 1: would come down and we would finish off the pot
Speaker 1: between the two of us, and then we'd make another one.
Speaker 1: She's the one who taught me how to make coffee.
Speaker 1: And then you know, in the afternoon and her mom
Speaker 1: comes back to refill it, and then there's like a
Speaker 1: little leftover. That was we were constantly just making coffee
Speaker 1: for each other, definitely like continuals and nourishing. And I'm
Speaker 1: from the Midwest, so you know, it's cold as h
Speaker 1: in the morning, and so it was really nice to
Speaker 1: have a warm cup of coffee. Now that I'm a
Speaker 1: los Angeleo, I aways have one of these audience. This
Speaker 1: is an audio program. I don't know if you know.
Speaker 1: It's nice shi Um. I used to put espresso in
Speaker 1: it because amazing flavors. I can't do that no more.
Speaker 1: I have the anxiety. I am on anti depressants and
Speaker 1: a d D meds, and the coffee was sending me
Speaker 1: off into like very loopy headspaces. So like, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I agree that based on our location, it's kind of
Speaker 1: ideal just to always have a nice coffee you can't.
Speaker 1: The sweats are not fun. Um, it's something you always regret. Like, man,
Speaker 1: maybe I have like a nice hot cup of coffee
Speaker 1: this morning, and then inevitably by like noon, You're like,
Speaker 1: I want to die. I don't know what to myself.
Speaker 1: Even even if I'm hot and it's cold outside, I
Speaker 1: can't drink coffee. Like if I'm wearing a jacket and
Speaker 1: I'm sufficiently warm, hot coffee will push me over the edge.
Speaker 1: I was in New York like drink like around Thanksgiving time,
Speaker 1: so it's pretty cold, and I was like getting hot
Speaker 1: in my get I got a cold brew, and like
Speaker 1: everybody always was like what are you doing? People like
Speaker 1: are wearing gloves and stuff. I'm like, I it's a
Speaker 1: very delicate, like temperature balancing within my body. And I
Speaker 1: think I'm just like you, like one fucking degree in
Speaker 1: either direction and like I'm gone. Having those seasons does
Speaker 1: to you, Yeah, yeah, you got to change it every
Speaker 1: four months. What about other heated drinks, Like if there's
Speaker 1: like a hot apple cider or a hot cocoa in
Speaker 1: the morning, is that is that good? Or are we
Speaker 1: still dealing with the same temperature issues? So that's that's
Speaker 1: a very very good question. I think where it gets
Speaker 1: complicated is coffee is kind of business like to me
Speaker 1: in a way that it's not just to enjoy the taste.
Speaker 1: It's when I'm for instance, for this podcast, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to be a little more alert. I'm going
Speaker 1: to drink some coffee. Like there's some sort of like
Speaker 1: utility to it, where a cider, I think is purely
Speaker 1: or like a hot cocoa or whatever is a purely
Speaker 1: like enjoyable thing. So I'm like, oh, I can sip
Speaker 1: that a little bit, and then if I'm not feeling it,
Speaker 1: I can just throw it away, you know where if
Speaker 1: I throw a coffee away, I'm like, going, now I
Speaker 1: don't have that energy. I totally understand. Listen, here's what
Speaker 1: you get a hot apple cider and like a cinnamon
Speaker 1: swizzle stick. But then also put like you know, some
Speaker 1: star and knees and get really get into your spices bag.
Speaker 1: And a cider is going to really take you over
Speaker 1: the edge because not only is it delicious, but now
Speaker 1: there's like a sharpness to it. You know, it's much
Speaker 1: less of the kick in the ass the coffee is,
Speaker 1: but it's still uplifting. You. It's still like making the
Speaker 1: brain get going. It's nice. I like that and what fun?
Speaker 1: That was beautiful? Or you got some what the funk?
Speaker 1: You just grind a little bit top little cinnamon swizzlestick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to go have coffee having fancy white friends.
Speaker 1: Really it's just changed every thing that does for your coffee.
Speaker 1: You have mean facts. You know, where would I be
Speaker 1: without the white people who's like, you don't drink coffee
Speaker 1: like this? And I in the gyp are you are
Speaker 1: you still doing it in your Mr Coffee? I am.
Speaker 1: That's the white homeie Alex who got me on cold
Speaker 1: brew because whenever I was like when I was like,
Speaker 1: yeah coffee doesn't, He's like you need old brew man,
Speaker 1: And I was like, thanks for putting me onto the
Speaker 1: game man. We had an issue at one point where
Speaker 1: I will like not make this gross, but like my
Speaker 1: fiance and I were when we first started living together,
Speaker 1: had like bad stomach issues first thing in the morning
Speaker 1: and every morning like I would have to like go
Speaker 1: like rushing into the bathroom for like months, for not
Speaker 1: just months, maybe six or seven months, And then we
Speaker 1: realized it was because we were drinking, like the trader
Speaker 1: Joe's cold grew concentrate without cutting it with no I know,
Speaker 1: and uh it's so obvious. It's like, oh, you're a
Speaker 1: grown man, you should know that that's going to have
Speaker 1: a negative effect on your body. And we were both
Speaker 1: laughing as reasonably intelligent people depending on you. Like it
Speaker 1: was just we're just every like just poisoning ourselves every
Speaker 1: morning with with um, yeah this uh, this coffee wax okay,
Speaker 1: but nothing like the cold bruff loop, you know, just
Speaker 1: to just to flush the system. Really that's true. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's yeah, But you know what's funny. That's how I
Speaker 1: drink cold brew to get the effects of caffeine is
Speaker 1: just I have to drink it uncut. And then then
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm on the verge of a panic attack,
Speaker 1: perfect superhero level. I cannot oh, you know, And I
Speaker 1: always talk about this Vietnamese coffee. What the fuck? I man,
Speaker 1: that's guaranteed existential dread and a cup for me. But look,
Speaker 1: I love what you guys are doing with coffee, Blake,
Speaker 1: what something you think is underrated? You guys are doing
Speaker 1: with coffee. I love it. Love love to see if
Speaker 1: folks love the love the panic attack in a cup.
Speaker 1: It's just so caffeinated, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: and I'm the same way of well, if I get
Speaker 1: to a certain point, I I'm just become like a
Speaker 1: vision reactor of anxiety. Oh yeah, it's unlimited powers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fuse to the incorrect way. So yeah, that's what I'm like,
Speaker 1: I gotta sometimes you have to be careful anyway. Overrated, well,
Speaker 1: something that's over Oh I'm sorry. Underrated, Like, well, something
Speaker 1: that's underrated Miles. First of all, it's okay, And then
Speaker 1: second of all, I think underrated is kind of going
Speaker 1: with what we've been talking about a little bit amid
Speaker 1: sleep wardrobe change where I've been it's sleeping, okay, go on.
Speaker 1: So I like I said, well, sometimes rev hot and
Speaker 1: will be sweating a little bit and or am just
Speaker 1: uncomfortable at the very least. And I used to be like, God,
Speaker 1: I'm so tired, I don't feel like getting up. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna stay in these clothes or whatever, and like
Speaker 1: you know, there weren't enough ways variations of my blanket
Speaker 1: situation for me to correct the issue. But then now
Speaker 1: I've been like, you know what, I'm hot, I'm going
Speaker 1: to change out of like you know, like flannel pants,
Speaker 1: like you know, long sleeve shirt into like a shorts
Speaker 1: and t shirt situation, you know, and that's the wardrobe
Speaker 1: change or vice versa. Might be a little cold, put
Speaker 1: on another layer, grab another blanket, do something like that,
Speaker 1: and you don't regret it. Why not pre empt the
Speaker 1: change so you don't have to disrupt your sleep with discomfort.
Speaker 1: That was my that's my first reaction to hear to
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing right now. Because I run hot, I
Speaker 1: don't wear clothes barely when I go to sleep. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't sleep naked, but like i've I grew up
Speaker 1: taking my clothes off as a child, not knowing how
Speaker 1: my body how to regulate my temperature. And I was foolish,
Speaker 1: and then I had to realize, you run hot, either
Speaker 1: have thinner blankets or you know, you don't need to
Speaker 1: wear a full blown, arms and legs covered pajamas. No,
Speaker 1: I have heard that you exclusively just wear a Laker's
Speaker 1: hat when you sleep, exactly with with with the sticker
Speaker 1: still on. That's my sleeping cap. That's how you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you were seven three quarters? What? What's your head?
Speaker 1: What's your man? And my head's on that big seven
Speaker 1: and three seven and three. Ah, that's what I wear, Joel,
Speaker 1: what's what size is your ahead? If we get now
Speaker 1: we're just going around. I'm a lass and don't wear
Speaker 1: that many hats. I have no idea what and I
Speaker 1: know that I do have a large nogg and though
Speaker 1: because the band try on hats, it is a challenge.
Speaker 1: I'm like, point met your bigger hats, because since time
Speaker 1: you have out here on the average side is not working.
Speaker 1: I have the biggest back of my skull. Like from
Speaker 1: the front, you think, oh, it's all good. Then I
Speaker 1: turned profile and you're like, it's a This man has
Speaker 1: never in the back. He got the diamond in the back.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of forehead, and I think maybe
Speaker 1: that's also the same in the back. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Before this turns into a problematic discussion about brains and
Speaker 1: skull shapes and sizes, Uh, things break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. Let's talk about this little
Speaker 1: thing called Fox News. I think we've all I think
Speaker 1: it's safe to say without saying, but I will just
Speaker 1: for the purposes of clear communication that we're all pretty
Speaker 1: clear on how partisan the news has become over the
Speaker 1: last few decades, and you know, we've seen the effects
Speaker 1: that it has not only on like just the voting
Speaker 1: population and you know what sort of the political views
Speaker 1: people have, but also like because of that has caused
Speaker 1: a lot of chaos even within families where people are like, yep,
Speaker 1: you know people regularly say like lost my uncle to
Speaker 1: Fox News, or like my Fox News family, or you know,
Speaker 1: my family's a Fox News family. We've all heard this,
Speaker 1: and you know, a lot of people again because of this,
Speaker 1: we've we've seen how sort of this sort of Fox
Speaker 1: News radicalization process can take hold over time. And not
Speaker 1: to say that watching enough MSNBC doesn't do something to
Speaker 1: you too, because it does. You see that when people
Speaker 1: aren't bothered by real things that are happening in real
Speaker 1: time in front of their faces. But these two researchers
Speaker 1: just published a study on what they call partisan coverage filtering,
Speaker 1: which is basically that if you're like a particularly part
Speaker 1: is in news outlet, you're going to basically selectively report
Speaker 1: on things because if it's sucking up the narrative that
Speaker 1: you need to keep your listener, viewers or whatever in
Speaker 1: check to be go along with Oh, this is what
Speaker 1: the GOP is. Then yeah, you're not going to report
Speaker 1: on the bad ship because that's gonna completely threaten this
Speaker 1: sort of worldview that you're trying to create. And you know, again,
Speaker 1: this is all this does is create a person who
Speaker 1: is now operating in a real reality, who has a
Speaker 1: biased set of facts that they're operating from and how
Speaker 1: they look at the world. So for Fox viewers, you
Speaker 1: would say that that bias set of facts would be
Speaker 1: something like that COVID isn't that serious, That masks don't work,
Speaker 1: that Trump was one of the most effective presidents. Democrats
Speaker 1: let like looters run their cities, and white people are
Speaker 1: the most vulnerable group on the planet Earth. Those are
Speaker 1: That's sort of like the general sort of NonStop flow
Speaker 1: of bias information that you get in there. So these
Speaker 1: researchers wonder, well, what happens if you just switch someone's
Speaker 1: me to a diet in the other direction? Can this
Speaker 1: Does this have any effects? And the simple answer is yes.
Speaker 1: So this is how they sort of did this study.
Speaker 1: Over of the seven sixty three qualifying participants, they randomized
Speaker 1: fort of the treatment group, so the other six weren't
Speaker 1: like one percent read till I like I bleed, my
Speaker 1: eyes are red, my hair is red, I'm so red,
Speaker 1: I'm gop jackie whatever. You These people are full blown
Speaker 1: Fox brain people. So then what they did was to
Speaker 1: change their slant of their media diet. Quote, we offered
Speaker 1: treatment group participants fifteen dollars an hour to watch seven
Speaker 1: hours of CNN per week during September. So this is
Speaker 1: in the lead up to the fucking election, okay, And
Speaker 1: they then they were prioritizing the hours at which like
Speaker 1: if the participants that they basically said, if you're normally
Speaker 1: watching Fox News at that time, we'll give you fifteen
Speaker 1: dollars to watch CNN instead. And then at the end
Speaker 1: of it, we're going to kind of survey you, ask
Speaker 1: you questions about what you're seeing and what information is
Speaker 1: that you're sort of taking in. And what they did
Speaker 1: is quote, at the three day mark, the viewers took
Speaker 1: a survey and they found quote large effects of watching
Speaker 1: CNN instead of Fox News on participants factual perceptions of
Speaker 1: current events, like their beliefs and knowledge about the presidential candidates.
Speaker 1: They discovered changes in attitudes about Donald Trump and Republicans,
Speaker 1: as well as a large effect on their opinions about COVID.
Speaker 1: They even then went on to articulate observations that were
Speaker 1: essentially like, oh, so Fox just won't cover anything about
Speaker 1: Trump if it's bad. And they're saying like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is something new, Now this is I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what to make of this.
Speaker 1: I know, jokingly, people are like, oh, there's your there's
Speaker 1: the Democrats mid terms. Fucking strategy is just pay people
Speaker 1: to not watch Fox and make sure. Maybe that could
Speaker 1: be a weird, subtle unemployment plan for Fox viewers to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, we'll give you some money if you
Speaker 1: just watch CNN a couple of hours, just a little bit,
Speaker 1: just to see where that goes. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know does this Does this resonate with with
Speaker 1: either of you or in general? Yeah? I think I'm
Speaker 1: trying to recall U. This is sad. What's the school
Speaker 1: shooting after Sandy Hooks going in Florida? Uh? Marjorie Stoneman Douglas. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're a kid from there was talking about like how
Speaker 1: he had to move out of his father's house because
Speaker 1: his father started to believe that school shooting that he
Speaker 1: survived was fake which is, like I mean, I think
Speaker 1: really goes to show the power of television and really
Speaker 1: these news networks and their ability to corrupt and and
Speaker 1: persuade people to believe that whatever they're saying is the truth.
Speaker 1: And I when we talked a little bit yesterday about
Speaker 1: the ways communities sort of insulate people and makes it
Speaker 1: comfortable to stay there, and I just wonder if there's
Speaker 1: the way. It just seems to me that the only
Speaker 1: way to stop Fox News from continuing to just out
Speaker 1: and outlined of folks is for the government to come
Speaker 1: in and be like, we do have to pull your
Speaker 1: funding because just from a factual rate, like you guys
Speaker 1: are no longer a news program, your entertainment. It's something
Speaker 1: that was talked about a long time ago, and so
Speaker 1: like maybe seven or eight years ago, Like you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of news sources are you know, get funding
Speaker 1: or tax breaks or whatever, because you know, it's an
Speaker 1: essential part of our democracy is that people have access
Speaker 1: to the press. And then you know, but then that's
Speaker 1: obviously a slippery slope of like just you know, and
Speaker 1: we can barely agree on facts anymore anyway. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess if you can you know, and
Speaker 1: I've heard of people being clever enough to like block
Speaker 1: Fox TV on their parents television, on their grandparents television,
Speaker 1: on that weird uncle's television. You know, I would like
Speaker 1: to see more of that. Get proactive with your families,
Speaker 1: start to do as I like to say. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you can go in there and block that channel
Speaker 1: and be like, well, y'all seen MS right there, maybe
Speaker 1: they've got some information yesterday they're like, no, I can't,
Speaker 1: it's all crapped, and they're gonna just talk nonsense about
Speaker 1: my brother. They'll go to YouTube if all down entirely different, terrifying. God. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you inadvertently you're like, well if I turned that spake
Speaker 1: it off and they went to go drink from the
Speaker 1: toxiccess pit. How many things can we block in this house?
Speaker 1: Do we just unplug everything so they can't watch it?
Speaker 1: Like the child parental locks? I mean that's what other
Speaker 1: people do, is like they'll put what they'll restrict websites
Speaker 1: for their parents or put the parental locks on the things,
Speaker 1: and then just like play dumb when it comes to
Speaker 1: me like Fox won't come on the TV anymore, Like
Speaker 1: oh't no, yeah, I don't know that you gotta call
Speaker 1: your cable provider you might have it, yeah, in which
Speaker 1: case they'll probably be like, are your kids trying to
Speaker 1: fucking keep you from hearing the word? But I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: like to your point about the power of television, it
Speaker 1: really is like we so many people are entranced by this,
Speaker 1: you know, the spectacle of the television, you know, and
Speaker 1: that everything that emanates from it is somehow the truth,
Speaker 1: and people like it's the same thing with the Internet.
Speaker 1: There a lot of people are like, well if it's
Speaker 1: on the internet like it's and people are saying it's
Speaker 1: so forcefully like there must be some like shred of
Speaker 1: truth to it. In the same way like, well if
Speaker 1: this person is on TV, like they don't just let
Speaker 1: anybody on TV that it has there must be a
Speaker 1: shred of truth to that. But yeah, it is really frightening,
Speaker 1: Like you're saying that example of like you're you're even
Speaker 1: looking at something that's your your child lived through, but
Speaker 1: because of the like you're just being constantly bombarded with
Speaker 1: this kind of messaging, You're like, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: my kids traumas a lie. He's he's an actor that
Speaker 1: they paid the level of mental gymnastics you have to
Speaker 1: do to stop believing that your own child survived a
Speaker 1: shooting in your own neighborhood like you. I mean, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: now we've all lived through a tragedy where you're hearing
Speaker 1: sirens from everywhere where, you're getting calls, where you're on
Speaker 1: social media, Like, we know what happens when tragedy strikes.
Speaker 1: It's very like clear key. So it's very you know,
Speaker 1: challenging for me to believe that this guy didn't actually
Speaker 1: live through the event and then gets so brainwashed he
Speaker 1: was like what I experienced didn't actually happen. That is bizarre.
Speaker 1: That is I'm it's broaching crazy. How many how many
Speaker 1: layers are there too? I mean, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: like this is I'll give this person the goodwill of
Speaker 1: thinking they maybe thought they were a good parent, and
Speaker 1: maybe there's some level of guilt that their kid was
Speaker 1: exposed to that that they're in denial of. That turns
Speaker 1: out I'm not excusing it, but I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how you go from like WHOA,
Speaker 1: my kids all shook up to Nah, it's so scary.
Speaker 1: I think that like so much of empathy is humanizing
Speaker 1: the people that you might have a differing view of.
Speaker 1: And you know, when these people turn on CNN, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: these aren't lizards, you know what I mean, Like, these
Speaker 1: aren't these are actually human beings with like heartbeats, who
Speaker 1: like you actually can add a human and face to
Speaker 1: the other side of like what they're used to hearing,
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, no, these are people like me,
Speaker 1: not exactly like, but like it's enough to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not that ship crazy that like, you know the
Speaker 1: fact that there's a virus. They don't have lizard skins,
Speaker 1: you know. So when I think that was the thing
Speaker 1: they saw in the research was just hearing over and
Speaker 1: over like a measured thing from people who are like
Speaker 1: doctors be like, yeah, it's really important to keep yourself safe,
Speaker 1: rather than the other side of me, like Fauci has
Speaker 1: lost it. I mean, he's the new doctor. Mangela. You're
Speaker 1: like that probably will put youna a different posture when
Speaker 1: you're trying to understand the process information. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: if only it were that simple just to be like
Speaker 1: just watch CNN and then you'll be indifferent about racism.
Speaker 1: So you get you you can get, you can get
Speaker 1: any way you live, basically when you're watching that good
Speaker 1: old TV. And just to touch back in with the GOP,
Speaker 1: so Katangi Brown Jackson pretty much all but formally confirmed
Speaker 1: at this point to become the Supreme Court's first black
Speaker 1: woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice on like
Speaker 1: that political gaff from a few days ago where they
Speaker 1: said the first black justice ever. But wow, yeah, everyone
Speaker 1: was like, there's a lot of people are even like
Speaker 1: damn even I mean, we know Clarence Thomas is there's
Speaker 1: a bit of a fool here, but we're even gonna
Speaker 1: skip thir good Marshall. So that's what happened there. But anyway, well,
Speaker 1: so on Monday or yes, yes is Monday, I believe
Speaker 1: at the end of Monday and going into Tuesday, we
Speaker 1: get some news going on that we have some GOP
Speaker 1: senators who are interested in so in backing her confirmation,
Speaker 1: Senators Murkowski, Collins and Mitt Romney. And you know, we
Speaker 1: talked about how this was. Katan is clearly one of
Speaker 1: the most qualified nominees like I have ever seen in
Speaker 1: my short life of being able to be aware of
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice. But you know, it wasn't a
Speaker 1: surprise that we saw, uh her support just be like
Speaker 1: at a majority when she before the hearings. And then
Speaker 1: despite the efforts of the GOP to smear her and
Speaker 1: align her with pedophilia and like child predators and things
Speaker 1: like that, a lot of the people who saw those
Speaker 1: confirmation hearings, like they it only increased their support for her,
Speaker 1: which is wild to think, like it didn't go the
Speaker 1: other way where suddenly you you you gave the conservatives
Speaker 1: they're sort of like their orders on how to view
Speaker 1: this confirmation and they go, yeah, she soft on this,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Like people saw them, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was fucking like she handled that well. They look
Speaker 1: really out of sorts insisting this gross ship. So her
Speaker 1: her approvals went up, and again a lot of and
Speaker 1: then we pointed out to a lot of this stuff
Speaker 1: is all q and on sort of based save the children,
Speaker 1: children are being trafficked by liberals, narrative sort of thing
Speaker 1: that's going on. So we have like fucking clockwork. Marjorie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green just out here out here tweeting that because
Speaker 1: of those three senators who were supporting her, she said
Speaker 1: they were now quote pro pedophile for doing this. That's
Speaker 1: where they're at. Just wait, sorry, roll back, just for
Speaker 1: supporting yeah yeah, yeah yeah. They said, oh oh you
Speaker 1: oh you you think she's going to be a good judge.
Speaker 1: That means you're a pro pedophile. That's where That's where
Speaker 1: they're going with it. They're slamming the gas on the
Speaker 1: non Patashi hasn't been accused of anything because the whole
Speaker 1: thing is about how she was adjudicating a case dealing
Speaker 1: with child pornography and that she said there was nuance
Speaker 1: that they were like they were these very different cases
Speaker 1: where she's like, well, this person was eighteen and like
Speaker 1: this this kind of material. This person was older and
Speaker 1: like I was dealing with like was praying on their
Speaker 1: own family, and she was just explaining like why she was,
Speaker 1: you know, have different idea. But they took that to
Speaker 1: be is, oh, she's soft on all pedophiles, when even
Speaker 1: this is the thing Lindsay Graham himself was saying, like
Speaker 1: we need to sort of like look at certain laws
Speaker 1: around in in this part of the law, because there
Speaker 1: are things that do need to be changed that there
Speaker 1: isn't just like sort of a one size fits all
Speaker 1: kind of measurement. So they took that and just ran
Speaker 1: with it, and that's all they did, kept insisting that
Speaker 1: she was okay with it, that she may in fact,
Speaker 1: you know, be completely indifferent to people being people praying
Speaker 1: on children, and it was just it was gross and
Speaker 1: you know, to to just go in this direction, but
Speaker 1: like you're pro pedophile. It's just again more of this
Speaker 1: hypocrisy on display. I mean, as we've talked about, whenever
Speaker 1: people talk about child predators and things like that are
Speaker 1: trafficking people, the GOP always forgets Matt fucking Gates never
Speaker 1: mentioned actually in office and under investigation for fucking sex
Speaker 1: trafficking potentially with like a minor So what are But
Speaker 1: yet again you want to go, you know, take the
Speaker 1: stage with him at multiple ignoramus rallies that y'all hit
Speaker 1: up and you know, keep it moving in that sense,
Speaker 1: That's why I'm thinking, not, that's not. That's why I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: That's why it's so clear, you know, with their hypocrisy
Speaker 1: around protected kids, because if if it really was about that,
Speaker 1: you would keep that same energy up for every single
Speaker 1: thing that was actually about that. If you really cared
Speaker 1: about kids, you would listen to child psychiatrists and let
Speaker 1: like trans kids transition in a way that makes goddamn sense.
Speaker 1: Like if you really cared about kids, you would not
Speaker 1: be so worried about like making sure that the F
Speaker 1: for M on their birth certificate match the genitals in
Speaker 1: their pants, like y'all are the wildest about like monitoring
Speaker 1: and and you know you you would make sure that
Speaker 1: there would be enough funds to give poor kids so
Speaker 1: that they could I don't know, eat, and you wouldn't
Speaker 1: try to monitor what it was they were eating that
Speaker 1: people were getting the right which chill took me just
Speaker 1: so eagerly took away. If you worried about kids, you
Speaker 1: would eliminate school debt, Like there's just about sixty bajillion
Speaker 1: things you could do to make sure you would give
Speaker 1: schools more mundy so because we have a teacher shortage
Speaker 1: and teachers are fleeing from the profession and they're not
Speaker 1: getting the education they need, there's so many things you
Speaker 1: could do to support an uplift children. That wasn't just
Speaker 1: randomly pointing to people that you don't like in calling
Speaker 1: them pedophiles. It's just such like a and I think
Speaker 1: it really hurts, Like you know, the hunt for actual pedophiles,
Speaker 1: because you're constantly just being like, oh what about this
Speaker 1: person ridiculous judge with a nuanced view of the law,
Speaker 1: as being a pedophile. And now they're like, oh but
Speaker 1: these and this is the thing, like we're saying, if
Speaker 1: they actually cared, then you would see them move in
Speaker 1: that direction. But because they don't, all we can do
Speaker 1: is look at the things they are invested in, which
Speaker 1: to me looks like just slowing progress at any moment,
Speaker 1: preventing people of color from ascending or experiencing any kind
Speaker 1: of equality. Those are the things I actually see them
Speaker 1: have consistent energy for. So that's where I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's just put this fake, fake argument to the side,
Speaker 1: because that's clear that they don't give a funk about that,
Speaker 1: because their actions don't show that. And then I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: what does this line with? Oh, right, they're just they're
Speaker 1: bigot treat because that's that's what we saw. It's the
Speaker 1: same kind of like hyperbolic like honestly like a like
Speaker 1: a what a twelve or eleven year old would say
Speaker 1: in that like you know, it's the same thing when
Speaker 1: oh they're they're hitler. This is not so this is Nazism,
Speaker 1: you know, like when you know, like for Vac's man
Speaker 1: dates are wearing a medak or whatever it's you go to,
Speaker 1: what's the what's the worst thing? A manageable hitler? Great,
Speaker 1: that's hitler. What's the worst thing? Pedophile? Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: use the word pedophile because that's the worst thing. And
Speaker 1: god forbid anyone reads and literally it's not even hidden
Speaker 1: in a paragraph. It's no, it's not that's not profited
Speaker 1: pedophile at all. And you brought up a really cool thing.
Speaker 1: I think too that a lot of people that might
Speaker 1: get lost in during the like the nomination process, is that,
Speaker 1: like Judge Jackson's experience is so impressive that we kind
Speaker 1: of have forgotten about that in the incredible fact that
Speaker 1: you know, she will be the first black female Supreme
Speaker 1: Court justice. If you even got rid of that and
Speaker 1: just looked at her fucking resume blank, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is one of the most qualified people we could
Speaker 1: possibly have on the Supreme Court, you'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: is this the chief Justice of the Supreme Court? This
Speaker 1: person has already been chief is this John Jay? Like
Speaker 1: who is this? You know what I mean? And it's
Speaker 1: um just so so qualified. Because that's the thing too. Obviously,
Speaker 1: so much fucking race goes into this, as well as
Speaker 1: the fact that like they just looked at this resume
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, we're fucked on them. We can't
Speaker 1: we can't actually do anything on the merits because we're cooked.
Speaker 1: This person is fucking infallible, like and that's what I think.
Speaker 1: That's what's so disheartening too, especially I think for a
Speaker 1: lot of black people who watch that confirmation here and
Speaker 1: go down and only have the one black person on
Speaker 1: the Judiciary committee actually stand up for her. I was like, see,
Speaker 1: this is what too much MSNBC will do to people's
Speaker 1: brains wild and can I just say. People were like
Speaker 1: all over Corey book being corny. I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: Corey Booker is corny. Okay, he's a corey human being.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows it, but you know what he Who do
Speaker 1: you run to when you said your cornyest friend? Okay,
Speaker 1: who's pumping you up, making sure you don't feel too sad,
Speaker 1: making sure you got what you need? You good boo?
Speaker 1: Like it's your corny for I speak as a corny person. Okay,
Speaker 1: you need corny people in your life, stop dunking on
Speaker 1: Corny Booker for supporting a black woman, and literally in
Speaker 1: her time and need, she's being bombarded by some of
Speaker 1: the stupidest things to ever be put into power, and
Speaker 1: she has answered the dumbest questions, like the restraint on
Speaker 1: her face to just be like, I'm not gonna curse
Speaker 1: these assholes out. I'm not gonna I don't try not
Speaker 1: to make them sound as stupid as their being. And
Speaker 1: I think a lot of their base recognized it. Somebody
Speaker 1: posted a video from like and Iowa like meeting the
Speaker 1: other day. I don't know if it was like a
Speaker 1: town meeting or like a something those citizens and politicians,
Speaker 1: and somebody was just like reaming this guy for being
Speaker 1: like you had an opportunity to ask Judge Brown like
Speaker 1: actual questions, and y'all wasted it. You wasted it, all
Speaker 1: of these moments, these buzzma once you were trying to
Speaker 1: get for television, you just completely all that. You pulled
Speaker 1: up children's book and a congressional hearing. Are you out
Speaker 1: of your damn mind? She did not write that she
Speaker 1: has not endorsed or promoted, but are simply available at
Speaker 1: a school where she sits on the board, you are
Speaker 1: out of your fucking I used to think for myself,
Speaker 1: but here's that I get a lot of these talking
Speaker 1: points from like the Federalist Society or the Judicial Crisis
Speaker 1: Network who packaged these talking points together for me to
Speaker 1: then regurgitate on TV to give some Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's that's a problem when you're not your own person
Speaker 1: in Congress. But yeah, I honestly like I thought that
Speaker 1: was to see the Democrats not really protect her was
Speaker 1: all I needed to see to continue to see when
Speaker 1: I'm looking at them sideways, when they say we're really
Speaker 1: about fixing inequality and things like that, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: none of you are really took the time to take
Speaker 1: your colleagues to task for the transparent, bigger try that
Speaker 1: was on display when they're coming at your Supreme Court pick, Like,
Speaker 1: is that what you would you do that if you
Speaker 1: had a friend of color and some people were being
Speaker 1: were going off on them. We just be one of
Speaker 1: these people who are just like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to get involved with that society that chirps
Speaker 1: a lot about, you know, protect black women. We've been
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of people not being down for that
Speaker 1: cause lately, you know, all I'm saying a lot of
Speaker 1: people just standing on the sidelines your black women get
Speaker 1: bumbled and being like, oh, but she could take it.
Speaker 1: She's strong, Yeah she's doing I mean, look how she
Speaker 1: handled it. I mean that, Oh wow, look how she
Speaker 1: handled your beating. It's like, you should have prevented the beating.
Speaker 1: She shouldn't have had to handle it. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And that's the thing that I think
Speaker 1: is so so frustrating, especially for any of marginalized you
Speaker 1: appreached people, is like the resilience is always commended rather
Speaker 1: than putting the energy into making life easier. So you
Speaker 1: don't have to commend their fucking resilience for being able
Speaker 1: to withstand that. Okay, let's take a quick break, um,
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back to just talk about fucking pokemon.
Speaker 1: H And we're back. This is a quick I just
Speaker 1: want to touch on this really quickly. Over the weekend,
Speaker 1: Logan Paul wore a five million dollar Pokemon or Pokemon
Speaker 1: as we say in Japan card on his neck into
Speaker 1: the ring at WrestleMania. I was like, okay, fine, apparently
Speaker 1: this is the one of the most or the most
Speaker 1: expensive card in existence. That's around five million. He spent
Speaker 1: around six million for it. It's a Pikachu illustrator card.
Speaker 1: And if they only made a few dozen, where I
Speaker 1: guess the original creator of uh is like the person
Speaker 1: who created Pikachu, you know, made this card. They were
Speaker 1: given away to people, and they're super fucking rare. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, this is where we're at because again he's
Speaker 1: he's such a troll. He's just being like, here's five
Speaker 1: million on my neck. That's that's what I'm doing, because
Speaker 1: this is some troll ship. But I'm just like, are
Speaker 1: we just eighteen months away from now? Just these weird
Speaker 1: naked flex moments where it's like and this is my
Speaker 1: four oh one k, this is my mortgage. Okay, I
Speaker 1: have my mortgage tatted on my fucking back, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know what, why is this? I don't know. This
Speaker 1: really upset me more in the sense that I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's because I think flexing is already so dead, Like
Speaker 1: it's such an empty pursuit to to like say, I'm
Speaker 1: this is me because I have this ship. But to
Speaker 1: this degree, I'm like it's becoming even more like weird
Speaker 1: parody of itself. But that's most of me being an
Speaker 1: old person. Like this damn troll out here. If I
Speaker 1: feel on his neck, I don't think it's you being
Speaker 1: an old person, because like it's it's silliness and it
Speaker 1: doesn't even look good like looking at like as far
Speaker 1: as like a oh, this is a fashion moment, even
Speaker 1: like if you think about you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: who were the Swan dress York to York? Yeah, exclusively
Speaker 1: any Swan dress. It was York. Yeah, there's one Swan dress.
Speaker 1: You know. You can instant see the dress is wild.
Speaker 1: But at the very least, it's like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: artistic and interesting. Right, even if you're like I don't
Speaker 1: like it, you're still like, wow, somebody put a lot
Speaker 1: of thought into designing this dress. It's like well made
Speaker 1: all of that. Even God guy's meat suit again totally
Speaker 1: gross as hell, but saying something and whatever, Yeah, come on, man, Blake,
Speaker 1: don't embarrass yourself. Yeah no, it's a regional Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I figured if we again, if we zoom out a
Speaker 1: little bit, right. I sometimes feel the same way when
Speaker 1: someone's wearing like a five million dollar neckl it's that's
Speaker 1: actually like jewels and looks good. You're like, that is
Speaker 1: the thing of what you could be doing other than
Speaker 1: just wearing that around you? Like, where could this money
Speaker 1: be going and doing and helping. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of times when looking at high end fashion, you're sort
Speaker 1: of kind of calling into question, like what are we
Speaker 1: paying here for? Artistic skills? Is just the name on
Speaker 1: the shirt. I'm kind of over strictly flex culture and
Speaker 1: I'm much more into fashion culture, and fashion right now
Speaker 1: is doing a lot to try and turn the trend
Speaker 1: to fast fashion, whether that's like repurposing clothes or designing
Speaker 1: clothes with old clothes and make new stuff that's kind
Speaker 1: of like, you know, edgy or cute or whatever. I
Speaker 1: think that there's something to be said for like, wow,
Speaker 1: that look is hot as hell as opposed to that
Speaker 1: item is exclusive and I can't believe you have it
Speaker 1: because so much there there is this like very you know,
Speaker 1: I see especially with men's fashion quote unquote men's fashion
Speaker 1: and like streetwear, where people don't even people don't even
Speaker 1: look good anymore. They're just like, oh, I've got the
Speaker 1: fucking a Mirrory hoodie with the Palm Angel's jeans, and
Speaker 1: you're like this ship looks fucking not good. But I
Speaker 1: get that you're called like, but everything you wear is
Speaker 1: so heavily like this is like these are six thousand
Speaker 1: dollar pants or whatever. You know what I mean that
Speaker 1: It is like a way to just sort of slag
Speaker 1: by number it by just being like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's expensive, so it must mean it's good. And that's
Speaker 1: just how I dress because if I do that, then
Speaker 1: people say that outfit doesn't look good, and I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll cost six thousand dollars. There is maybe again, maybe
Speaker 1: I'm just so young and can't relate to you guys.
Speaker 1: But um, I do wonder if so. I'm getting married
Speaker 1: soon and I'm I don't know. I wouldn't call it
Speaker 1: a flex. It's just how I live my life. I
Speaker 1: don't make as much money as Jake Paul, so I'm
Speaker 1: getting my ears pierced and in one year I'm having
Speaker 1: like a custom like framed pics of my landlord's Venmo
Speaker 1: account who I pay each month on one side half
Speaker 1: the rent, my fiance pays the other half. And then
Speaker 1: on the other side, I have like a bike clock,
Speaker 1: a key to my bicycle to the lock up to
Speaker 1: the to the lock is that flexing because kind of
Speaker 1: like kind of what kind of it's a Fuji two
Speaker 1: wheel not not having the third wheel which I don't
Speaker 1: have that like Mercedes Racing electric bike, that would be
Speaker 1: a flex because that's just like nine K This is
Speaker 1: a chain This is a chain based bike. Stop talking embarrassing.
Speaker 1: So you're just honoring the show with your lack of
Speaker 1: drippage and flex worthy items. Yeah, it's giving eighties futurism.
Speaker 1: Like if you hang that key like Janet Jackson hung
Speaker 1: that key from her ear, uh, you know, and gauge
Speaker 1: the ear and you know the other ear with the
Speaker 1: landlord's venmo in it. I'm writing that what you're saying,
Speaker 1: what would be the biggest flex for y'all personally? That
Speaker 1: if you saw that doesn't have to necessarily mean that
Speaker 1: it's what's the most expensive thing, but for you the
Speaker 1: most Like if you saw somebody wearing something, whether that's
Speaker 1: a piece of clothing from a film or an artifact
Speaker 1: they're rocking, what would you be like, Oh, that's stupid,
Speaker 1: but that's right up this trench coat the like purplely
Speaker 1: alligator one. Oh yeah yeah yeah, that ship would knock
Speaker 1: me on my ass. I'd be like how and wait, wow,
Speaker 1: that's a really good one. Okay, I go do do
Speaker 1: bird beak face mask just of an extinct bird exct
Speaker 1: bird element that does go hard. It's so hard. It
Speaker 1: tells you who you are, who you're, who you're dealing with,
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, yeah, my god, I don't even know
Speaker 1: what would if somebody, honestly, it'd be I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I'm like really trying to think, like what I would
Speaker 1: get so excited about if someone wore J Dilla's MPC
Speaker 1: as a as a neck piece, I would be whoa
Speaker 1: to a Grammys They're like, look at this, this is
Speaker 1: Dila's MPC. That would be cool because I'm just thinking
Speaker 1: straight artifacts. You know, this is the shroud of Turin. Okay,
Speaker 1: you take the shroud of turint and you tie that
Speaker 1: up like a do rag shroud of turin merch, right,
Speaker 1: Like you could easily shroud of turin beach towel, I kid,
Speaker 1: you know, right, Or like you would wear like King
Speaker 1: Leopold's like fucking crown, but like you'd melt it down
Speaker 1: because like he was like a wild slaver and you
Speaker 1: would like like you would recontextualize like slaver luxuries. That
Speaker 1: would be sick. Yeah, where even you don't even need
Speaker 1: to just for you to be like, you know what
Speaker 1: I did. I took their fucking ill gotten games and
Speaker 1: turned them into my own ship. Fuck you think these
Speaker 1: are artifacts? Funk out of here? I don't know. That
Speaker 1: would be kind of cool, I would. I would take
Speaker 1: slaver artists might change mine too, I might change mind
Speaker 1: to lb J's toilet that he would talk to people
Speaker 1: through the door from and put wheels on it and
Speaker 1: use it as like a vehicle like professor shared like
Speaker 1: a mobility chair, and where his band wear his pants,
Speaker 1: so he's got enough room for his bung hole and
Speaker 1: his balls or what did he say? Like what I
Speaker 1: think he said? A bung hole? Have you heard that, Joel?
Speaker 1: It's how he he would speak to people in the song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And he was talking to his tailor how he needed
Speaker 1: better pants because his balls are too big and it
Speaker 1: it cuts up on his bung hole, on his bumble.
Speaker 1: So much more information than I ever needed about lb J.
Speaker 1: Where pounds a month? So leave me at least I
Speaker 1: have prettanch in the back. Rock let him out or
Speaker 1: take him up, I thought, pache. Burging the waste, make
Speaker 1: the pockets at least the match longer. Money my money
Speaker 1: and my knife to ever thank another thing that crouch
Speaker 1: down or you hang. It's always a little too tight.
Speaker 1: So when you make them up, give me an inch
Speaker 1: that I'm let out there because they cut me. You
Speaker 1: like riding that wants. These are almost the best that
Speaker 1: I've had anywhere in the United States. But uh, when
Speaker 1: I gained a little weight, that cut me onto there,
Speaker 1: So leave me. Uh, you never do have much margin there.
Speaker 1: But if you can't leave me about it from the
Speaker 1: part of the separate back from my bunghole. It's so disgusting.
Speaker 1: People got to know about those historic moments. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be sick to a pair of LBJ bunghole pants.
Speaker 1: Like I've never spoken to a tailor like that in
Speaker 1: my life. Like the confidence in what he knows that
Speaker 1: he wants for me. It's like, just do make you
Speaker 1: do whatever you know how to do to make this
Speaker 1: fit me. You know, that's somebody who, like you, know
Speaker 1: what they have their probably they know like they know
Speaker 1: their body well and they know what they're up against
Speaker 1: with clothes all the time. I'm the same way like
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I just know, like I could look
Speaker 1: at pair and like, okay, I'm gonna to buy a pair, Baker.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get that tailored. Okay, that's gonna
Speaker 1: work out because you know it's not the same for everybody.
Speaker 1: The inch adding an inch to your pockets, though, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what kind of like an inch? What are you carrying?
Speaker 1: He carried a lot of money, he said, his money
Speaker 1: and his knife are falling. I don't think he's carrying
Speaker 1: like those big gass like Jack Nicholson, like when he
Speaker 1: was a joker of like long barreled revolvers, like where
Speaker 1: he can just put just straight out the pants pocket,
Speaker 1: like the whole ship comes out. You're likem like, that's
Speaker 1: not a knife. This is a knife. This is annoying.
Speaker 1: This is annoying. But yes, okay, So just for the record,
Speaker 1: bunghole pants I think would be good. I'm just I
Speaker 1: just want to think if there's one of their pop
Speaker 1: culture I really like the Morpheus, the Morpheus jacket with
Speaker 1: LBJ bunghole pants. Leopold's crown turned into a grill that
Speaker 1: says fuck all colonizers. Yeah, I would say a Leah's
Speaker 1: crown from the Vampire movie. She did too, she played yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she is a sickening crown in that would absolutely love
Speaker 1: to rock. That would rock the Nike Batman boots. Oh right,
Speaker 1: those Jordan's that were turning into Michael Key. Oh wow.
Speaker 1: See okay, Joel, you're really coming up with like deep
Speaker 1: cut like style artifacts, and that's what I like. I
Speaker 1: don't be like what the that would really cause for me?
Speaker 1: Who doesn't really I don't know much about fashion, but
Speaker 1: I would be like, what is Joel gonna rock on
Speaker 1: the red carpet? Last week? She had she had a
Speaker 1: little Pumps Roadblocks suit but turned that into a fucking
Speaker 1: really dope but hat. Yeah, the Michael Jordan's. Wow. Okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: Zike Gang, let us know what's your coveted artifact that
Speaker 1: you would were to actually be a show stopper and
Speaker 1: not just just truly transparently naked displays of wealth like
Speaker 1: running a five million dollar square of paper round your neck. Blake,
