Speaker 1: because you're stay in shape, you're in fitness. You're getting
Speaker 1: ready for a tough mutter or something. No. Actually, how
Speaker 1: my joints are breaking down. I have every brace for
Speaker 1: every joint you can imagine. I'm mostly walking my dog
Speaker 1: because he needs to go outside and get up those
Speaker 1: exercise steps in we're gonna do yet. I have a
Speaker 1: it's a Jack Russell Beagle mix. It's a Jacoby. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's an old man. He's an old curmudgeon, but
Speaker 1: he uh, he's a sweetheart. Okay, okay, I think Danny
Speaker 1: and I actually saw your Jacoby with your GF yesterday.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she she mentioned. Yeah. Cool, Okay, wait wait
Speaker 1: wait I like that, she said, she mentioned, but really
Speaker 1: you're like like it was just a very like a
Speaker 1: huge event, not nevery casual in passing. Okay, well, good
Speaker 1: to know, good to know that we're all we're all
Speaker 1: friends here as we normally are. Uh, just a couple
Speaker 1: more days then I'm back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm out here for a little bit just to
Speaker 1: cool my cool my jets. But really still still working,
Speaker 1: you know what. I know. I'm trying that remote work
Speaker 1: three hours earlier over there. Yeah, I mean it's wild. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you wake up like way ear I mean I wake
Speaker 1: up pretty early anyway. But it's interesting to get like
Speaker 1: when you're on this clock because like the East Coast
Speaker 1: is like six hours ahead. Whoa, this is a bit
Speaker 1: of a misalignment, but hey, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: But before we get into it and before we get
Speaker 1: to know you, JOHNO will just give people a preview
Speaker 1: of what we're talking about today. First up, New York
Speaker 1: is going to be mandating vaccines. It's the first in
Speaker 1: the nation to say, just across the board New York City.
Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, you want to you want to come
Speaker 1: to New York City and you want to funk around
Speaker 1: and do some new York City ship you need to
Speaker 1: be vaccinated. So we'll talk about that and the mayor
Speaker 1: sort of thinking around that, We'll talk about Rudy Giuliani
Speaker 1: speaking in New York. Uh. He was supposed to do
Speaker 1: an interview about nine eleven and then he suddenly turned
Speaker 1: it into a like all about him and his legal fees.
Speaker 1: But that's what Rudy Giuliani will do. Um. But before
Speaker 1: all that, Johno, we gotta ask our guests, what is
Speaker 1: something from your search history that reveals who you are?
Speaker 1: What's you into or maybe some freaky thoughts you were having. Well? Um,
Speaker 1: my recent search history that I woked out last night
Speaker 1: is Wallace Sean Princess Bride. For those unfamiliar, he's the
Speaker 1: bald headed guy plays Bissini. He's the guy who keeps
Speaker 1: saying inconceivable, yeah, whatever doing like the poison drink exactly, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I Caine powder um. And the reason I've searched
Speaker 1: him is because my brother just had two identical twin
Speaker 1: boys a few weeks ago, and I feel like thank you,
Speaker 1: And I feel like every baby looks like Wallace Sean
Speaker 1: from the Princess Bride. Every every baby looks like it's
Speaker 1: about to get into a duel of the wits with
Speaker 1: the man in black. Yeah, he has a very like
Speaker 1: cherubic sort of face. And it's funny when you google
Speaker 1: Wallace Shan baby there are so many people are already
Speaker 1: doing it because I feel like it's like a rope
Speaker 1: that people like. He just has the round, beautiful face
Speaker 1: of a newborn child. Yeah, and he's the one. He's
Speaker 1: like one of those doctors that like used his own
Speaker 1: s firm to impregnant every woman in the IVF clinic.
Speaker 1: Every baby looks like all of the are Dr Sean's children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is yeah. So did you send this to your
Speaker 1: brother and say, oh yeah, Like anytime anytime anyone asked
Speaker 1: me for a picture of the twins, I just send
Speaker 1: him two pictures of what and what's the how does?
Speaker 1: How do? How do the parents feel? The mother and
Speaker 1: father feel about the My brother loves it, he agrees.
Speaker 1: Did you buy them to like matching little tweed suits
Speaker 1: to go ship? That can cause plays like one can
Speaker 1: go as the Seen, any one can go as the
Speaker 1: teacher from Clueless? Yeah, Mr Hall, Yeah, that big love story.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you see the way her their
Speaker 1: legs are crossed towards each other. That's an unequivocal sex invite.
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember there are so many things from Clueless.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so that's the law based on
Speaker 1: which Share just was share Hoarwitts just said, okay, Missgeist, Okay.
Speaker 1: I good to know that. I remember one time I
Speaker 1: tried to say in class, my I left my Cranberry
Speaker 1: CD in the quad, and like I thought people would
Speaker 1: think would immediately understand what I was saying that reference
Speaker 1: from Clueless, No one did, and then the teachers like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And I had to just
Speaker 1: bail on. It was like nothing, never mind the bathroom,
Speaker 1: Like no one here likes clues. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? One thing I just learned recently is
Speaker 1: overrated is the Olympics. Olympics. Not just because COVID has
Speaker 1: made everyone just abandoned this this year's Olympics, but it's
Speaker 1: one of those things that you just like come to
Speaker 1: find out that your whole life has been horrible and
Speaker 1: you're just now learning about it. Um just like the
Speaker 1: way that every Olympics has devastated whatever city it's it's
Speaker 1: gone through and left all these four people and in
Speaker 1: real despair and horrible you should be the triumph of
Speaker 1: human spirit, and it's the exact opposite, which feels very typical. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, especially especially in like you know, as people
Speaker 1: become more aware and more sensitive to these kinds of things,
Speaker 1: like you're starting to be like, yeah, man, this is
Speaker 1: a fucking nightmare. Like there's there was one guy I've
Speaker 1: brought it up before, but there's like this one Japanese
Speaker 1: guy who was displaced twice because of the Olympics happening
Speaker 1: in Tokyo um for like once in the sixties and
Speaker 1: again for the Games, and he's like, I don't the
Speaker 1: fund did I do to deserve this um? And yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's again, I love the competition aspect of it.
Speaker 1: I think that is what's and I think that's what's
Speaker 1: fucked up, is that the greed that surrounds the games
Speaker 1: completely obscures that, and like it makes it very bitter
Speaker 1: sweet because part of me, like I think all of
Speaker 1: us have, you know, on one level, I thought we
Speaker 1: could be an athlete one day and you're just like
Speaker 1: that's so cool, Like I just think that's awesome that
Speaker 1: people can win gold medals. But the human suffering aspect.
Speaker 1: That's why just say keep it in one place, having
Speaker 1: at one place over and over. What's your favorite event?
Speaker 1: I like, my dad's a big track and field guy,
Speaker 1: so I guess I like that those like the two
Speaker 1: cathalons and stuff for the sprints. Sprints a probably because
Speaker 1: those are all over in ten seconds, like literally ten
Speaker 1: seconds and the most day. Yeah, and they remind you
Speaker 1: of being a kid, where it's just like, all right,
Speaker 1: fastest to the end of the block is the champion
Speaker 1: you funk with, Let's go um and I shout out
Speaker 1: to the Italians who were the first. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: That's right, Pieson, I forgot absolutely, And also in the
Speaker 1: high jump, let's not forget in the high jump as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that. The two high
Speaker 1: jumpers they both topped out I think like two ms
Speaker 1: thirty seven and they could have done a jump off,
Speaker 1: but they're both like, can we just split? Can we
Speaker 1: just get two? Child? And like the dude was sort
Speaker 1: of like, I guess if you want to, but I mean, like,
Speaker 1: do you want to? They're like, yeah, man, it's been
Speaker 1: a rough year. Like if we both goggled, who gives
Speaker 1: a ship and they were just hugging each other and
Speaker 1: like the Italian dude was loving it. But again, like
Speaker 1: those are the things I can't help but watch and
Speaker 1: then be like it starts making me feel fucked up
Speaker 1: because I'm like, why does it have to be there?
Speaker 1: And then like nobody's there to enjoy a degree of anything. No,
Speaker 1: it should be good, Like it doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: this bad, and it's like it should be just a
Speaker 1: cool experience for all the athletes and everyone watching, but
Speaker 1: it's did you guys cover that story about how I
Speaker 1: think it was long distance running? And one guy from
Speaker 1: one country recognized that the guy who had been in
Speaker 1: front of him the entire time didn't understand the language
Speaker 1: on the signs and was gonna go the wrong way
Speaker 1: and he would have won. And he told the the
Speaker 1: other way and why he did it, and he said,
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't have been if it wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: a fair win. The guy was ahead the entire time,
Speaker 1: and those are the beautiful moments where you like see
Speaker 1: the soul of people. And I was just like, beautiful,
Speaker 1: see if if if, like if it wasn't that one
Speaker 1: city every single year, we can enjoy that wonderful experience
Speaker 1: and not have to like see some guy make a
Speaker 1: wrong turn into like some camp that they're like putting
Speaker 1: all the homeless people in to hide from the games
Speaker 1: and stuff. It's it's like just one wrong turn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we We can absolutely overcome the evil elements of it.
Speaker 1: Just have to have reformed the Olympic Committee. That's like
Speaker 1: kicking people out for weed right, still displacing poor people
Speaker 1: around the world, or just being like, hey, let's let's
Speaker 1: collaborate with the World Health Organization to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't worry about COVID just like in Brazil four
Speaker 1: years but hey, that's what it is. Yeah, I really
Speaker 1: love sprinting. I used to do hi jump in high school.
Speaker 1: Is terrible, but I love the event. And yeah, there
Speaker 1: is something about just watching again people fucking work their
Speaker 1: whole lives for something, even if it's as simple as
Speaker 1: just running a hundred meters, But like, watch that payoff.
Speaker 1: What something thing is underrated? John Oh? Underrated is your
Speaker 1: parents cable log in. I think everyone is under appreciating
Speaker 1: all the good content your parents are giving you just
Speaker 1: by the fact that they have an unsubscribed and cut
Speaker 1: the cable from their cable provider, so we watch like
Speaker 1: the sporting events even on TV. Is just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't even have the CBS app. Well, let's just
Speaker 1: log in with our parents stuff. It's like, I like,
Speaker 1: I guarantee, I know it. It's the same email address
Speaker 1: and it's the same password for everything. Yeah, it's I'm
Speaker 1: really truly shout out to parents. Like that's like, is
Speaker 1: that the final sort of umbilical cord that would be
Speaker 1: cut for someone to be fully independent? Is like, because
Speaker 1: you ever check somebody like, oh you're really independent? Let
Speaker 1: me see your Netflix logging? Is your or your parents? Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's not your business account. I'm musing, bitch,
Speaker 1: why don't you look in the mirror with you and
Speaker 1: your pass swords and email? What do you? What do
Speaker 1: you chill for Netflix? You want the corporate profits to
Speaker 1: go up? Yeah? You Disney plus as bitch? Wow, you
Speaker 1: are like stealing hun from Mr and Flix and Mr Lulu. Wow. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: how much supposed to get my Pixar face without my
Speaker 1: mom's Okay? It doesn't feel right as an adult to
Speaker 1: pay for Disney stuff. I feel like parents should always
Speaker 1: be paying for Disney stuff, Like I'm mature. I can't
Speaker 1: be doing that. Oh. You know what's funny is I
Speaker 1: recently let my dad use one of my logins, and
Speaker 1: it felt like I was almost like the welcome son,
Speaker 1: You're welcome, Like it really felt. I was like in
Speaker 1: my mind, I was like, we've here, We're here, We're here.
Speaker 1: It's fully inverted. The relationship has inverted. He passed the
Speaker 1: torch and he didn't really have any loggins that I
Speaker 1: could use, you know, I mean he paid my phone
Speaker 1: bill back in like college, so I'll that. So my dad,
Speaker 1: my dad uses his iPad as a camera, so wait,
Speaker 1: like he'll bring it everywhere like it's his camera. Oh my,
Speaker 1: it is absolutely his camera. It's his camera. It's like,
Speaker 1: here's how much my dad uses his iPad as a camera.
Speaker 1: He used it, uh an iPad filled up the entire
Speaker 1: memory with photos, and then instead of you know, putting
Speaker 1: them anywhere, he just got another iPad, Like he just
Speaker 1: bought another iPad so we could start taking photos again,
Speaker 1: as if we're like a disposable, Like it's this one
Speaker 1: flat one's a role of film that I have to develop.
Speaker 1: But that's just love that photo hard drive From now
Speaker 1: on shout on all the iPad photographers. Let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and pay some bills and we'll be right
Speaker 1: back after this. And we're act vaccines. They're necessary, it
Speaker 1: turns out, um to stem the spread of a pandemic
Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, eradicate a pandemic altogether. Uh. New
Speaker 1: York City, if you remember, was probably one of the
Speaker 1: worst hot spots at the beginning of the lockdown. It
Speaker 1: almost like if you watch the news, you almost thought
Speaker 1: COVID only existed in New York um, just based on
Speaker 1: the amount of media attention. And again because it's like
Speaker 1: an iconic city that just ground to a halt and
Speaker 1: we were seeing, you know, just really it was like
Speaker 1: a warning sign to people of like, if it gets
Speaker 1: out of control, this is what happens. Hospitals begin to overflow.
Speaker 1: Something we didn't even have a room in in the
Speaker 1: morgues to properly take care of the people that had
Speaker 1: passed away. And so because of that, I think mare
Speaker 1: to Blasio may have had that in the back of
Speaker 1: his mind, like many public health experts, when realizing we
Speaker 1: need to make sure that we don't experience another just
Speaker 1: catastrophic surge of this virus again. And I think the
Speaker 1: only way to do that is to really mandate vaccines.
Speaker 1: So to Blasio said, this is George just sort of
Speaker 1: how he presented it at a press conference, The Key
Speaker 1: to New York City. When you hear those words, I
Speaker 1: want you to imagine the notion that because someone is vaccinated,
Speaker 1: they can do all the amazing things that are available
Speaker 1: in New York City. This is a miraculous place, literally
Speaker 1: full of wonders. And if you're vaccinated, all that's gonna
Speaker 1: open up to you. You'll have the key, you can
Speaker 1: open the door. But if you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will
Speaker 1: not be able to participate in many things. It's time
Speaker 1: for people to see vaccination as literally necessary to living
Speaker 1: a good and full and healthy life. And I was like,
Speaker 1: that sounds it's in a way. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's radical. But then I'm like, wait, that's because the
Speaker 1: bar is so all over the place that I'm like,
Speaker 1: what is yet that Actually that's sensible. That's right. We
Speaker 1: need people to understand that that is that is that's
Speaker 1: how we're going to regain some stability, is by treating
Speaker 1: vaccines as the norm. Right, Yeah, And then there are
Speaker 1: a few other news stories about Cuomo today. But oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, you have heard about that in the
Speaker 1: Trends episode that played yesterday. But yeah, I mean his
Speaker 1: like defense of like, but I kiss everybody. WHOA That's
Speaker 1: fucking okay. Where are you offended that as an Italian
Speaker 1: he was using your culture as a shield. Yeah, I am,
Speaker 1: I am. But you know, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Some of these people take things too far, I guess,
Speaker 1: even even though they are Italian. I guess, um, do
Speaker 1: you touch do you touch faces? It's been so long
Speaker 1: since you've I've seen you in person. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: really touch people. I'm surprisingly introverted. You wouldn't guess it. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Actually, whenever you pull up you you always
Speaker 1: pull up like mysterious. In person, you guys like, hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? Like, yeah, you could like you take a
Speaker 1: second to warm up and then you warm up, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's Blair. There's Blair. Whenever I see you
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. She's trying to tuck into a bush. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's gonna she always got a beanie on and glasses
Speaker 1: looking like the UNI bomber on mushrooms. Wait, I am
Speaker 1: really sorry that I ruined the vaccine thing by mistaking
Speaker 1: the Blossio for Cuomo. I do think that is a
Speaker 1: radical statement, and I know that's going to piss all
Speaker 1: these people off, but I do think like we need
Speaker 1: to get more aggressive with it for like the safety
Speaker 1: of our evolution and going forward, so we don't just
Speaker 1: have many years lost and many more like millions of
Speaker 1: people dead are you talking about from touching faces back?
Speaker 1: I was like the same. I was embarrassed that I
Speaker 1: brought it off to a tangent to start at all.
Speaker 1: I like, I'm more like the investigation of Blair and
Speaker 1: like the phases of Blair um because arrival is it
Speaker 1: takes a second, takes a second, takes a second, and
Speaker 1: then we get Blair. But yeah, I mean it totally
Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean this is the first in the
Speaker 1: nation sort of mandate that essentially saying like, look, any
Speaker 1: indoor things you want to do dining, fitness, entertainment, like
Speaker 1: you are going to need to be vaccinated. And that's
Speaker 1: really the path that we need to be on. You
Speaker 1: have to communicate that this is how you access certain activities.
Speaker 1: You don't have a right to infect people just because
Speaker 1: you are uncomfortable with the vaccine if you don't want
Speaker 1: to go ahead. No one's saying you can't buy food
Speaker 1: and you can't do these other things, but you have
Speaker 1: to do a lot of outside stuff, uh, if you're
Speaker 1: not vaccinated. And I think because things like this weren't mandated,
Speaker 1: it allows this sort of middle area to exist in
Speaker 1: people's minds, especially for people who are vaccine resistant or
Speaker 1: heavy or anti that, because there's like this gray area
Speaker 1: that it just sort of allows this thing to be like, well,
Speaker 1: it's normal to not be vaccinated, so why am I
Speaker 1: not being able to do these other things? Like no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, Like this is for the greater
Speaker 1: good than we've had to do this many times throughout humanity.
Speaker 1: It's just that you probably don't remember it, or based
Speaker 1: on your media diet it, you've completely recontextualize what this
Speaker 1: actually is. Of course, yeah, this is this is a
Speaker 1: total win win because like, not only is it the
Speaker 1: right public health decision where it's going to keep people
Speaker 1: from getting in contracting cope and spreading it, but the
Speaker 1: people who are affected by the ones who are unvaccinated,
Speaker 1: they will hate it. They get to do um a
Speaker 1: lot of victimhood, like the performative like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: where I get to feel oppressed, and like that's exactly
Speaker 1: what they wanted out of this whole thing. So it's
Speaker 1: like they're enjoying this too. They get to do that
Speaker 1: thing where they're like putting the Jewish star on their
Speaker 1: cell doing like display. Yeah, like people who have a
Speaker 1: very bizarre idea of oppression, you tend to see that
Speaker 1: when they go into like self victimization mode and you're like,
Speaker 1: I mean, like the virus has killed like one and
Speaker 1: a half times as many people than World War two did,
Speaker 1: and like so like they would say in World War two,
Speaker 1: like the country actually did have to sacrifice, Like they're
Speaker 1: like the oscars those years were like made out of
Speaker 1: wood because they had they couldn't spare the metal, and
Speaker 1: like today, if that happened, they'd be like, well, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm as an American, I have a right, my constitutional
Speaker 1: right to scrap metal and I don't have to turn
Speaker 1: it in. I have a metal diet and I can't
Speaker 1: give it up because I'm going to give up my
Speaker 1: grandmother's pewter trays. That's not happening, Are you kidding me? Also,
Speaker 1: I have a right to drink out of a light
Speaker 1: up mug at Buffalo Wildlings. Don't tell me about an
Speaker 1: led shortage for the effort. That is kind of where
Speaker 1: we're at. I see some of these people from a
Speaker 1: few people that I still follow from high school, and
Speaker 1: they like repost like liberal agenda, crazy liberal like accounts
Speaker 1: on Instagram, and it's so terrifying there what you just
Speaker 1: said their media diet. And I know I have the
Speaker 1: other side saying that, but I just it's like, I
Speaker 1: it's sad science science. I'm always curious to the pask
Speaker 1: people like at what point do you extend help to somebody?
Speaker 1: Like especially like evangelicals too, because I mean I went
Speaker 1: to you know, Lutheran K through eight in the Catholic
Speaker 1: high school, so I had been like hearing all of
Speaker 1: these ideas about what it means to be a good
Speaker 1: Christian or someone who believes in follower of Christ and
Speaker 1: do as Christ does. And he he was taking after
Speaker 1: taking care of the people who the rest of society
Speaker 1: deemed was not well or whatever, Like how like where
Speaker 1: that mentality is now? Because what you asked him, like
Speaker 1: no to people deserve health care. It's almost like, well,
Speaker 1: not if they can't afford it, then is that well,
Speaker 1: I think, Miles, what you're failing to realize is that
Speaker 1: all that talk about Jesus and leprosy was he was
Speaker 1: actually just spreading leprosy throughout to make other weeks right right, right.
Speaker 1: But then, but because he was Jesus and he didn't
Speaker 1: acknowledge his like supreme immune system as the son of God,
Speaker 1: he was like, I don't know what the problem is,
Speaker 1: can't be me, And you're like, it's because you're Jesus, dude, Like,
Speaker 1: don't but he should still be practiced social distancing. I
Speaker 1: saw this great tweet yesterday in regard to that by
Speaker 1: Travis Acres, and it said, I want to see an
Speaker 1: episode of Undercover Boss with Jesus and some evangelical churches.
Speaker 1: I loved it. I've loved it because it's just like
Speaker 1: people just manipulate everything to their own personal agenda. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of interesting clips of right wing pastors.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that clip of this
Speaker 1: guy Greg Locke who has like this like church where
Speaker 1: he just screams all kinds of stuff. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: play a clip really quick so you understand. Just sort
Speaker 1: of like how he's even presenting things to his parishioners.
Speaker 1: I've been right about all of that. We've been right
Speaker 1: about all of that. He's something of COVID. Yes, why
Speaker 1: does this seem like w W E Jesus Christ. It's
Speaker 1: literally in a circus tent. In the end, this is
Speaker 1: pro wrestling right now. In the end, he's right now.
Speaker 1: He's just getting wound up over the idea of like
Speaker 1: why we don't need to get vaccinated? You know, like
Speaker 1: what what all this stuff is? Who's doing what? All
Speaker 1: these conspiracies? And that's why saying I was right about everything,
Speaker 1: all this fear bull crap, is that it is bull crap.
Speaker 1: Sam told you to say, you may not dross head
Speaker 1: bull crap. But I am not a pastor and this
Speaker 1: is not a church and this is not a religion.
Speaker 1: I'm a huckster. Yeah. He then goes on to say, like,
Speaker 1: only crack smoking, demon possessed leftists think that Biden is
Speaker 1: the president. So you know, a normal one that is
Speaker 1: most of the countries here, Uh, crack smoking, demon possessed
Speaker 1: leftists had more popular vote than actually other guys. So yeah,
Speaker 1: what can you do? Yeah, it's like again, this is.
Speaker 1: This is a Depending on where you are, certain people
Speaker 1: might be saying, yeah, science is good or the vaccine
Speaker 1: will help keep you safe. Other people might be like
Speaker 1: the demon crack whatever. Do you think they listened to
Speaker 1: this podcast? You think Greg Listen is of this podcast
Speaker 1: and things that were crack smoking leftist? He does. He
Speaker 1: damns me every day and he says, I can hear
Speaker 1: your crack pipe in the background. You demonic Biden leftist?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Biden leftist. I don't sure that's not me?
Speaker 1: Do okay? I'm like, bro, check your definition. And he's like,
Speaker 1: you will respect me, respect the Lord. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I won't, Bro. And I think Jesus was just an
Speaker 1: organizer if anything, if he was real breath, amen and
Speaker 1: amen to that, so that we will win in the ends,
Speaker 1: Like why are you talking about wins and losses? You're
Speaker 1: it's religion, not a not a basketball team. I mean,
Speaker 1: but I think that's how you do that though. Right
Speaker 1: is you can keep this in your mind about how
Speaker 1: you know in the divine in the in the afterlife,
Speaker 1: that's when you're going to really be getting your laughs off,
Speaker 1: because you will be seated at the at the right
Speaker 1: hand of God in the throne of Kingdom of heaven.
Speaker 1: He's right that more of them will be in heaven
Speaker 1: after this year. Everyone else with sort of that act.
Speaker 1: And honestly, the videos screamed because it was a circus
Speaker 1: tent they were in. It was like a red and
Speaker 1: white striped tent. And I was like, either someone's like
Speaker 1: fumigation business had a few extra tents that you were
Speaker 1: setting up, or that's like a legit circus tent, isn't
Speaker 1: it crazy? How like with evolution that isn't gonna sound
Speaker 1: like a stoner but like what's the opposite of truth? Humiliating?
Speaker 1: But like what we just heard was like this grand
Speaker 1: master performance of just like one human being trying to
Speaker 1: make people feel overcome by them, and they're like agenda,
Speaker 1: and that's been going on forever, like this sort of
Speaker 1: grand theatrics of people try trying to grasp for power,
Speaker 1: even on the small level or large level. And like
Speaker 1: you think that we would evolve out of these like
Speaker 1: very petty, small minded, smaller self things, but they keep
Speaker 1: going on forever that it's we don't human kind does
Speaker 1: not change in that way. Is the healthy version doing
Speaker 1: stand up? Oh yeah? I look, Miles, I just want
Speaker 1: to point out manding an audience up there. Oh my god, ergy,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Miles, the fucking nerve you think that
Speaker 1: I haven't considered stand up comedy is a mental illness
Speaker 1: and nothing nothing. Okay, Look, I know I'm aware upset
Speaker 1: with it before unwill unwell, okay, Well, I want to
Speaker 1: move on, since we were sort of on the topic
Speaker 1: of New York before we got into the ideas of
Speaker 1: salvation and Christ. To someone else who's actually very interested
Speaker 1: in the ideas of salvation and Christ is Rudy Giuliani
Speaker 1: because he's been a very bad man. But if you
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he hitched his wagon to the most
Speaker 1: radioactive star in Donald Trump, and for a moment he
Speaker 1: was riding high like he could tell. He was just like,
Speaker 1: I'm that guy, I'm with the president. I'm gooned up.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Funck that fuck laws And
Speaker 1: then you know he was even jacking his bone in
Speaker 1: a boat movie. I mean he was. He was at
Speaker 1: the top of the world. And then Trump was no
Speaker 1: longer president, and all the ship that he did, like
Speaker 1: push Ukraine to like smear Biden and get involved in
Speaker 1: the political of the presidential race, or you know, try
Speaker 1: to get the election overturned by pushing the big lie
Speaker 1: which got him sued by dominion voting systems. It's all
Speaker 1: now become like one gigantic legal title wave and it's
Speaker 1: about to crush him. The thing is, when you have
Speaker 1: all this legal exposure, there's a lot of bills that
Speaker 1: you gotta pay for lawyers and things like that. And
Speaker 1: no one has been a giving any money to his
Speaker 1: little go fund me for like, like help me defend
Speaker 1: myself as the crack smoking demons left sort of like
Speaker 1: campaign that he had, and he's been telling close friends
Speaker 1: like he is close to going like fully broke. Now
Speaker 1: I don't know how accurate that is, because this is
Speaker 1: the same guy that quit a job to try and
Speaker 1: make it look like his income was diminished so he
Speaker 1: would owe less in spousal support. So you know, we'll
Speaker 1: take that for what it's worth. But on top of
Speaker 1: all that, Trump has been sitting on eighty two million
Speaker 1: dollars that he just straight grifted off of supporters, um
Speaker 1: and just been spending on himself. And a lot of
Speaker 1: the Trump allied people are like, um, what about helping
Speaker 1: the dude who you who fucking quite literally was just
Speaker 1: fucking ship up to try and get you in office,
Speaker 1: and it only just destabilized the country. It's quiet, okay, Les,
Speaker 1: You think that Glam Team is cheap, it's not. Okay.
Speaker 1: That is a lot of work. A lot of parties
Speaker 1: work very hard on his look. Okay, which way? Who
Speaker 1: Who's Glam Team Trump? Yeah? Doesn't he like? But I
Speaker 1: feel like he's like one of those guys who hates
Speaker 1: being like touched, so he would like to do it
Speaker 1: all himself because you know he application looks, I mean,
Speaker 1: like the way he puts it on his eyes and stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, he's not really blending or do we think
Speaker 1: there's an HMU team there or it's all self applicated. Look,
Speaker 1: my guess is it's not self applicated. Okay, I like that. Look,
Speaker 1: King rule number one, someone else puts your bronzer on
Speaker 1: before you make a speech, that's for sure. I do
Speaker 1: like the idea of a team coming in wearing hazmat
Speaker 1: suits to come to his hair. I think it's safe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Rudy because he you know, he
Speaker 1: did all that deary work, as he said, Now he's
Speaker 1: not getting support from Trump, and like, listen, I was
Speaker 1: with Trump for the whole thing, and now to find
Speaker 1: out he's a bad friend. Come on, Like that's the
Speaker 1: last straw. You can't see your friends like that. I
Speaker 1: just thought it was a coincidence. Every other time people
Speaker 1: are like I went in business with him and he
Speaker 1: stole from me, or I worked for him and he
Speaker 1: never paid me. Also the Juliani scene in Borat, I
Speaker 1: am not over that. Also, and another thing I can't
Speaker 1: believe in this country is how much ship is literally
Speaker 1: video evidence that nothing ever transpired from I mean, like,
Speaker 1: can you imagine what is happening like that was with
Speaker 1: a film crew, Like what would happened? What goes on
Speaker 1: in non media sanctioned interviews. I mean you look at
Speaker 1: the state of everything, like whether it's you know, sexual
Speaker 1: assault or racism and things like that. It's like you
Speaker 1: truly it's like, well, do you have four K video
Speaker 1: at sixty frames per second? It doesn't matter. You can
Speaker 1: look at and even then half the time it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: This is wide released to the entire country, no projects,
Speaker 1: just still it's free. It wasn't behind the paywall. This
Speaker 1: is evidence up. But yeah, so Mayor Juliani. Former Mayor
Speaker 1: Julianni he's also been kind of in the news because
Speaker 1: obviously this is going to be the twentieth anniversary of
Speaker 1: September eleven, and he was mayored at the time, and
Speaker 1: he was at ground zero, and he was talking with
Speaker 1: local news to be like, hey, you know what a
Speaker 1: moment um for you and the country, Like, let's reflect
Speaker 1: on that. He didn't talk about that at all. Um,
Speaker 1: Let's hear what he instead chose to talk about. Um.
Speaker 1: When he was asked about the significance of the twentieth
Speaker 1: anniversary of nine eleven, I committed no crime. And if
Speaker 1: you think I committed a crime, you're probably really scoopid
Speaker 1: because you don't know who I am. Former Mayor Rudy
Speaker 1: seems fixated on declaring his innocence. We've seen you commit
Speaker 1: a crime on camera as an unregistered lobbyist for Ukrainian officials.
Speaker 1: Is the guy who put the jail terrorists in jail,
Speaker 1: ed conscious commissioners in jail, and and the worst people
Speaker 1: on Wall Street. I'm not gonna file. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: just crazy. Juliani says he was only working for President
Speaker 1: Trump as his lawyer voice and frustration about the FBI
Speaker 1: searches of his home and law office. This is where
Speaker 1: it gets real good, misguided and politically motivated. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm more than willing to go to jail if they
Speaker 1: want to put me in jail, and if they do,
Speaker 1: they're gonna suffer the consequences in heaven. I'm not but
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything wrong again, Baby, send it back
Speaker 1: up to God. Yeah, maybe I'm on Earth according to
Speaker 1: your Earth realities, a criminal who to go to jail. Okay, listen,
Speaker 1: they're going to afterlife jail or hell as they sometimes
Speaker 1: call it, exactly. But we'll see where. We'll see where
Speaker 1: he ends up. But yeah, that seems to be on
Speaker 1: his mind, even though he's there to do an interview
Speaker 1: about one of the most significant events in the last
Speaker 1: twenty years. I want to go to jail, but he
Speaker 1: and they're gonna take it up with heaven and the angels.
Speaker 1: That's the thing I'm saying, Dude, I I threw head
Speaker 1: conscious commissioners in jail. Anyway, what a beautiful nine eleven
Speaker 1: memorial speech, INCREDI absolutely Okay. Before we go to another break,
Speaker 1: I just want to bring up Spirit Airlines because they
Speaker 1: had a bit of an issue earlier this week. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've flown at people we I think
Speaker 1: we've all experienced Spirit Airlines at one point. Oh you haven't, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think once it' take either Spirit or Frontier every
Speaker 1: I think everyone should try at least once, just to
Speaker 1: remind yourself White should never do it. People always like
Speaker 1: just crack jokes about it because it's like a budget
Speaker 1: airline blah blah blah. But they've really been having a
Speaker 1: lot of operational problems. Um, Like, a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: they had to cancel two hundred seventy seven flights, which
Speaker 1: was about thirty six percent of its schedule, and then
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty nine were delayed, which is about
Speaker 1: of its schedule. So overall, fifty six percent of their
Speaker 1: flights were sucked up. Um and some they would say
Speaker 1: is like it was weather, but it's also not weather
Speaker 1: too like. There's also staffing issues, and it looks like
Speaker 1: Spirit like kind of tried to ramp up their business
Speaker 1: really quick again without having the proper personnel to actually
Speaker 1: like facilitate having all these flights move around. So on
Speaker 1: top of that, with all these flights delayed because they're
Speaker 1: like a low cost carrier. They don't have any of
Speaker 1: these things that are like interline agreements like with other airlines,
Speaker 1: which is normally the thing that will happen. So like
Speaker 1: if you have a delay or cancelation, like there's a
Speaker 1: way to remedy that because it's like, oh, we have
Speaker 1: relationships with other airlines to sort of sort this out.
Speaker 1: So that's like the inherent risk with Spirit Airlines. So
Speaker 1: cut to many airports, especially around the southeast, like in
Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and then in San Juan, Puerto Rico,
Speaker 1: people were fucking stranded and there was like sort of
Speaker 1: anecdotal information that the Spirit Airline staff was like slowly
Speaker 1: retreating from like the the like the tape, like the
Speaker 1: desks to help customers, and we're saying like we might
Speaker 1: need to like sneak out the back because like we
Speaker 1: have nothing to tell people, and like the situation is
Speaker 1: just getting really, really tense. So you can see a
Speaker 1: situation where you have people who are like I can't
Speaker 1: make my connecting flight because you just canceled it. What
Speaker 1: can I do? This line's three and a half hours
Speaker 1: for me to even speak to someone at that point,
Speaker 1: what flights are there, and then on top of you
Speaker 1: have agents literally like doing the Homer Simpson Bush gift
Speaker 1: where they're like now, um, And it just sucks because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like as much as
Speaker 1: you know, you see how people get at airports, like
Speaker 1: it's always the ticket agents that are going to get
Speaker 1: that get all this ship when it's not like they're
Speaker 1: like I don't run spirit air online, I'm working for them. Um,
Speaker 1: it just looked all kinds of bad. Well, I keep
Speaker 1: seeing these articles saying that like people just in general
Speaker 1: are getting way more unruly. And I've seen this a
Speaker 1: little bit at comedy shows too, where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys have so much pent up energy and you
Speaker 1: from being inside for a year and a half that
Speaker 1: like some of you forgot how to act in public.
Speaker 1: And then they keep saying all of this like bubble
Speaker 1: inside people of stress is like bursting in public in
Speaker 1: ways that it wasn't really before in like certain especially
Speaker 1: in certain common spaces where there's like, um, social agreements
Speaker 1: that you don't act that way. And now all these
Speaker 1: like these flight attendants are like guardians of the galaxy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and in this guy's like, oh you didn't let me
Speaker 1: touch your tits. I'm gonna fucking lose. You know, my
Speaker 1: parents were worth two million dollars. I saw that clip.
Speaker 1: I was like, what the and you got duct taped
Speaker 1: to the seat, which is so hysterical by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just wild because there's stress everywhere, you know, like
Speaker 1: whether that's people that are traveling right you don't they
Speaker 1: could be spread thin financially and they're having to be
Speaker 1: on a flight where they don't even want to, you know,
Speaker 1: Like maybe it's the travel they're doing is like stressful.
Speaker 1: You may have to go take care of somebody, and
Speaker 1: then like you know a lot of people have all
Speaker 1: kinds of stressors that is not just apparent on the surface.
Speaker 1: Like and I think the pandemic is really put a
Speaker 1: lot again, like to your point, a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on people from all different kinds asides. And I think
Speaker 1: unfortunately in America we have this terrible habit because everyone
Speaker 1: says the customer is always right. It's like in these
Speaker 1: customer service interactions are like people just sort of take
Speaker 1: advantage of this idea to be like, well, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna indulge my anger right now and just direct with
Speaker 1: this person just feels like the venue for that, Like
Speaker 1: every travel situation is stressful. Everyone's going through that and
Speaker 1: have that pent up stresses as I was talking about. Um,
Speaker 1: but like and if they interact with Spirit Airline. Spirit
Speaker 1: Airlines is like like an American Ninja Warrior Gauntlet of Stress,
Speaker 1: where like every single thing is designed to make you stressful.
Speaker 1: So of course it's just going to be an explosion
Speaker 1: of a horrible behavior on both sides. That makes me
Speaker 1: so mad when people lose it in public, because it's like,
Speaker 1: suppress that ship like the rest of us. Okay, we're mad,
Speaker 1: We're on fucking Spirit Airlines. Um Dramas just said, the
Speaker 1: Frontier suspended the flight attendant who duct tape that creep,
Speaker 1: and and that person is suspended when that man was
Speaker 1: causing danger and injury to the employee who had no
Speaker 1: one to defend her from being sexually assaulted. To be fair,
Speaker 1: though she did violate the protocol, the normal protocol is
Speaker 1: to get in a knife fight to the death. On
Speaker 1: the Frontier Airlines, that's how you have to establish your dominance.
Speaker 1: If you want to keep your flight attendant position, you
Speaker 1: need to someone you know defeat them in one on
Speaker 1: one combat. If I were Chet Blue, I'd call I'd
Speaker 1: be calling and hiring that guy because that's the type
Speaker 1: of ship. That's the type of ship we need in
Speaker 1: the planes now as everyone's losing their fucking mind. Or
Speaker 1: there's like some viral duct tape company that's like a
Speaker 1: would love to like give you the face of our
Speaker 1: duct tape right now. The hero the flight attendant presentation
Speaker 1: beginnings like here's the seatbelt thing, here's the best and
Speaker 1: here's the ball gag will use if you guys try
Speaker 1: to us. And that's the nice one. We have another
Speaker 1: one that's a wooden dowel with a bunch of dried
Speaker 1: blood on it, with a bunch of chicken wire that
Speaker 1: will just wrap around the back of your head. Too.
Speaker 1: There's that one too. There's that one you know every
Speaker 1: once in a while when you get like a really
Speaker 1: bitchy flight attendant who loves their five minutes up top
Speaker 1: and they have like all these jokes and then they
Speaker 1: really want you to know, like, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: bothered by you, and I won't be, and I would
Speaker 1: love if like some flight descendants start like working that
Speaker 1: ship in unto their like speech up top A lot
Speaker 1: of comedians, I I feel like hate when they hear
Speaker 1: fight attendants do jokes, but I like it. I like
Speaker 1: it because I'm like they're getting their time to shine
Speaker 1: right now. And I feel like on Southwest, I feel
Speaker 1: like that was one of the first airlines where people
Speaker 1: were like casual enough to like talk some ship, like
Speaker 1: especially if you took that flight on Southwest from like
Speaker 1: Burbank to Vegas, like that was just joke best. A
Speaker 1: lot of jokers on that Yeah, a lot of jokers
Speaker 1: on that flight. It should also teach some comedians some
Speaker 1: empathy because in every comedy show there's obviously one person
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to be there. So like, of course,
Speaker 1: like this is what it feels like when you're sabotaging
Speaker 1: one person's night with your jokes. So we'll pay back. Well,
Speaker 1: comedy is a mental illness, so yeah, well I'll ask
Speaker 1: more about that when we talk about this other story
Speaker 1: coming up after the break. So let's pay some bills
Speaker 1: real quick. Will be right back after this and we're back.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a couple of things. First,
Speaker 1: the Weekend. The man that has made some of the
Speaker 1: sexiest music from the twenty tens. He's realized that he
Speaker 1: in fact doesn't want to be HI for this because
Speaker 1: he said he's really he's kind of given up drugs.
Speaker 1: In a recent GQ interview, he said he confirmed he
Speaker 1: still drinks occasionally smokes weed, but as for other drugs
Speaker 1: like coke uh evoked in the song Can't Feel My Face,
Speaker 1: he's not doing that anymore. So quote No, drugs were
Speaker 1: a crutch. It was me thinking that I needed it
Speaker 1: and not doing the work to figure out how not
Speaker 1: to need it. And I've spent the last few years
Speaker 1: realizing that and thanking God that I don't need it,
Speaker 1: because for a lot of people it's hard to shake it.
Speaker 1: I knew I didn't want it. He calls it being
Speaker 1: sober light. And I'm just curious too, because you know,
Speaker 1: we're in being in creative industries, comedians, musicians, what have you.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that I feel like
Speaker 1: do insist on like being drunk or like getting high
Speaker 1: to like come up with their ideas and things like that,
Speaker 1: And I don't know, just it's it's part of me,
Speaker 1: is like I'm I'm glad to see you realizing that
Speaker 1: because I remember there was a time when I was
Speaker 1: like I can only I only make music if I'm
Speaker 1: so high off my face, I don't know what's happening,
Speaker 1: like as if I was in some other like transcendent
Speaker 1: space where like things were making sense. Sometimes it's good
Speaker 1: just to jar my thinking. But not to the point
Speaker 1: where I used to think, because I think I was
Speaker 1: just modeling my ship after like should I'd read on
Speaker 1: the internet about other artists are like yo, this guy
Speaker 1: was so high the whole time. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm curious to know your perspective, especially because I know
Speaker 1: like i've I've I myself have been like, oh maybe
Speaker 1: it's good to like drink before I go on stage
Speaker 1: or sometimes and this is this is my PhD thesis
Speaker 1: was in cocaine addiction. So like I feel like I
Speaker 1: can say with some good authority that you one should
Speaker 1: never do to a cocaine But if you do only
Speaker 1: in your twenties, you can't go into your thirties still,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's very because like when
Speaker 1: I see people do that ship, I'm like, dude, we're
Speaker 1: old bitch, Like like I'm putting sunscreen on my hands
Speaker 1: and wearing wrist guards during sex, like we do not
Speaker 1: need to be doing this. I am please stop. I'm
Speaker 1: humiliated by you. I don't want to see this ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I also love the weekend. It's just so so
Speaker 1: funny to me where he's like, look g Q, like
Speaker 1: I want to I want to make an announcement. From
Speaker 1: now on, I am only going to stay high and drunk.
Speaker 1: I am not going to be hitting the hot stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: look I am taking I am taking it down. It's
Speaker 1: a new me, right right right, Yeah, I don't need
Speaker 1: to do all that. I don't need I don't need
Speaker 1: my face to be numb to come up with ideas
Speaker 1: and yeah, look I'm different. Okay, I wake up and
Speaker 1: I just hit a bottle of tequila and take down
Speaker 1: any It sounds like he got paid to make this
Speaker 1: announcement by White Clause like, listen, addiction is a problem.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm sticking only with alcohol, which is paying
Speaker 1: for all pivot to these. Also check out new White
Speaker 1: Claw weed. They're also you're like, wait, hold on, what
Speaker 1: the fun like. As far as marijuana consumption, my rule
Speaker 1: has always been is only really majorly after the sun
Speaker 1: goes down, and usually just like a mild gummy or something.
Speaker 1: I can't really smoke because I'll lose my voice in
Speaker 1: one hit. But um, like I it doesn't help me creatively.
Speaker 1: I know it helps other people, but for me it's
Speaker 1: more like, I guess comedy you need to be quick
Speaker 1: and fast in all those things. But maybe it helps
Speaker 1: musicians or like a painter. Yeah, I think yeah, because
Speaker 1: like I mean, you don't have to like nail the
Speaker 1: delivery of a joke if you're just like playing bass
Speaker 1: or like strumming a guitar or something like, it's so
Speaker 1: much muscle memory and just like truly like out of
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, just vibing up there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what. I love vibing on the stage. Hell yeah,
Speaker 1: hell yeah. Did you ever like drink to like loosen
Speaker 1: up to go on stage? Like early on any of y'all?
Speaker 1: You always just kind of do you have rules about
Speaker 1: going on stage like fully sober because you've had experiences
Speaker 1: you're like that did not go well. Yeah. Every time
Speaker 1: I drink more than two, I start slurring my words,
Speaker 1: Like after a long set, it just gets sloppier and sloppier.
Speaker 1: And then with weed, I tried like once and then
Speaker 1: like my timing was way off because it does slow
Speaker 1: you down a little bit. So I felt like I
Speaker 1: was watching myself perform and like I was, I was
Speaker 1: like worse than that was afterwards, like the set one
Speaker 1: apparently fine, but like the I spent two hours in
Speaker 1: a corner after the show saying, why was everyone laughing
Speaker 1: at me? Yeah? Good, it's just super paranorlal John, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you're at a stand up show. My first three years
Speaker 1: of stand up I was, I think, drunk the whole time.
Speaker 1: One It was terrifying. Plus I was just in my
Speaker 1: twenties in in New York. That's normal. Yeah, but now
Speaker 1: I don't really drink very much. Just in general, I
Speaker 1: rarely drink, or if I if you do at one
Speaker 1: point three, yeah, I just had like one drink to
Speaker 1: Max and like that is a fun way to go
Speaker 1: on stage. But I will say the times that I
Speaker 1: have been drunk on stage, it's like I'm having so
Speaker 1: much fun. I'm not really like that concerned with how
Speaker 1: it's going, and a lot of times it does. It
Speaker 1: does go well, but I could also think it's going
Speaker 1: much better than it is. So you don't know, I
Speaker 1: see how like a famous people get in deep with
Speaker 1: like addiction because they're at like such a level where
Speaker 1: they there's so much money and so much writing on
Speaker 1: it that they need to um deliver a certain like
Speaker 1: quality of product. And then you can see how that
Speaker 1: could slip so easily because you could think that you're
Speaker 1: doing better than you are, you know, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there's nothing like cocaine to miss misread how well
Speaker 1: you're performing at something, or how what your outward energy
Speaker 1: is like, or even like when you're to your point
Speaker 1: about being famous, you know, you have so many sycophants
Speaker 1: and like, yes people around you. They'd never be like, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe that was kind of an l tonight. They're like
Speaker 1: that was great, that was great, that was great, But
Speaker 1: until they lock you in a clause it and there
Speaker 1: like you need to clip because I have to pay
Speaker 1: for my boats. But yeah, let's get to know. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Blair and John O, they've they've taken the journey and
Speaker 1: they're sober light. Um as just like the weekend is
Speaker 1: the weekend. Let's see exactly exactly. I mean that could
Speaker 1: be another rule. It's just only on the weekends. Yeah, yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 1: Do you think in a couple of months tore like uh,
Speaker 1: we saw that video of you like doing a bunch
Speaker 1: of nas balloons backstage. He's like, okay, well those aren't
Speaker 1: Those are like whippets. You can buy that at a store,
Speaker 1: So like, what's the problem here? Yeah? I was really
Speaker 1: um in just like health mode back when I did
Speaker 1: that that g Q article. You know how you get
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, you know, the summer was ending and
Speaker 1: just kind of thinking about ending the year strong sober
Speaker 1: light is the post COVID cleanse. Yeah, I'll just stop
Speaker 1: doing my evil, evil hard drugs. All right. Well, John O,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us today and coming

Speaker 1: out in North Carolina too. And what's a tweet that
Speaker 1: you've been enjoying some active social media that you've been appreciating.
Speaker 1: My friend Rob Hayes had this great tweet about like
Speaker 1: here it is. I find it ironic that the system
Speaker 1: is being used to ban critical race theory. One day,
Speaker 1: when these laws are reversed, these laws will be taught
Speaker 1: as current examples, like you're doing the thing that you're
Speaker 1: gonna be. You know that, that's what's happening. Yeah, more
Speaker 1: on that later. Okay, I guess in the history books,
Speaker 1: but who knows, they might outlaw history or the concept
Speaker 1: of remembering things more than a week ago or something.
Speaker 1: We're welling like white people are willing to learn about
Speaker 1: black history right up and to the point where they
Speaker 1: have a role in it, right exactly. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's that's great. George Washington Carver did that about redlining
Speaker 1: red white. That's colorism. We can't talk about what colors lines. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's reverse racism. Actually, if you make me aware of
Speaker 1: systemic oppression. That's reverse racism. Um Blair, how about you?
Speaker 1: Where can people find you? Follow you? And what's a
Speaker 1: tweet that you've been liking? Oh? My god's like game
Speaker 1: my best friends in the entire world. Um, you can
Speaker 1: find me as always at Blair, SAKI B L A
Speaker 1: I R S O C C I on Twitter and Instagram.
Speaker 1: And what I would like to remind you, please buy
Speaker 1: tickets to my show September sixteen. I'm headlining the Bellhouse
Speaker 1: in New York and I really want to sell it
Speaker 1: out and I would love to see my fuckings like
Speaker 1: getting there when I splash out, and I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: some really cool guests like Joe Pea on um, Conromaley
Speaker 1: and rosebud Baker, So come out. And then, Um a
Speaker 1: tweet I like one of my favorite people on Twitter,
Speaker 1: maybe my favorite all time tweeter, Um blank apat my friend.
Speaker 1: He just said it was just a silly tweet, but
Speaker 1: it made me laugh. Video killed the Radio Star then
Speaker 1: turn the Gun on Itself. Wait is like one of
Speaker 1: the all time best joke writers ever. I love them
Speaker 1: so uh. Some tweets I like at hunk Tears tweeted
Speaker 1: I didn't know the word horny. Before the movie Austin Powers,
Speaker 1: I asked my mom what it meant, and she explained
Speaker 1: lust to me. I had known about sexy thing as
Speaker 1: an aesthetic before, but Austin Powers introduced me to the
Speaker 1: concept of sexual desire as a human. Overly worried tweet
Speaker 1: about it, but I love to see it. Another one
Speaker 1: is from you Know Past guest Roy Wood Jr. At
Speaker 1: Roy Wood Jr. Tweeted because again because New York is
Speaker 1: mandating vaccines. He just posted this picture of like Jason
Speaker 1: Stadium as like a chef in Chinatown, like fighting this dude,
Speaker 1: and it says when a patron declines to show proof
Speaker 1: of vaccination, the chef kills him, but the patron was
Speaker 1: a mob boss. As goons descend on the store, the
Speaker 1: chef defends himself using the skills he learned as a
Speaker 1: Navy seal British and my six spetsns Jason stayed them
Speaker 1: is Riley Patchenko in vaccon vacs um. And then another one.
Speaker 1: It's a cartoon where with an anthropomorphized baggy of weed
Speaker 1: with a little bit of weed in it and a
Speaker 1: person waving waving its finger the top and says say
Speaker 1: no to drugs and the little baggy of weed is
Speaker 1: saying maybe you should save the rest for another time,
Speaker 1: and the person is going no. And that was treated
