Speaker 1: just call him whatever the fuck you want. But my
Speaker 1: name is John and perfect. Yeah. Sure, they're like, but

Speaker 1: snow a parent Yeah, yeah, there is a chill in
Speaker 1: the air. I think at higher altitudes it's going to
Speaker 1: be snowing, And the question is how low They're not
Speaker 1: expecting it to be everywhere in La. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of films in the mountains. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be taking to my blankets later tonight, I can
Speaker 1: tell you that much for sure. Yeah goodness, Yeah, it's weird,
Speaker 1: weird times. All right, tests we're going to get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about today. Malcolm X's daughter, Ilyasa Shabaz has
Speaker 1: filed notices stating her intention to sue the FBI, CIA,
Speaker 1: and NYPD for conspiring to assassinate her father, which I
Speaker 1: remember there was like this New York Times article when
Speaker 1: Mohammad aa Z's and Khalil Islam were cleared, like two
Speaker 1: of the three people who were convicted of assassinating Malcolm X.
Speaker 1: They were cleared, and there's a New York Times article
Speaker 1: that was like, yeah, unfortunately they didn't find any evidence
Speaker 1: of like police or government involvement, but then they listed
Speaker 1: all these details that were like, wait, is what the fuck?
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that Starbucks is dropping a
Speaker 1: new secret weapon on our asses, olive oil. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get some olive coffee goodness in the coming years. It
Speaker 1: sounds sounds like it would be like good in the
Speaker 1: right hands. Unfortunately, I don't believe Starbucks is the right
Speaker 1: hands necessarily, so new Starbucks concoction just dropped. New Russell
Speaker 1: Crowe Exorcist trailer just dropped The Pope's Exorcist, which does
Speaker 1: contain the line if you have a problem with me,
Speaker 1: take it up with my boss the Pope, which I
Speaker 1: will be quoting frequently in my day to day life.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was going to be take it
Speaker 1: up with my boss. God, yeah, j C. No, that
Speaker 1: we answer to the Pope. Pope, Yeah, yeah, yeah, middleman. Really,
Speaker 1: the Pope is just a just a middleman. Middleman just
Speaker 1: like always got his head on his or his hand
Speaker 1: on his head, Like, oh God, going between these two assholes.
Speaker 1: Can I talk to your manager please? Yeah, exactly. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about people worrying about a mushroom apocalypse thanks to
Speaker 1: the last of us, and what the likelihood is all
Speaker 1: of that plenty moore. But first tests, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history the Romans wine bar. I was searching for the
Speaker 1: address to the wine bar. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys are familiar with Romans. No, oh, my god. Do
Speaker 1: you like bookstores? Do I look? Oh, I would never
Speaker 1: read a book, so yeah, okay, the never mind, never mind?
Speaker 1: Do they have children? I only really read? Yeah, if
Speaker 1: they have a whole picture book section, yeah, next to
Speaker 1: the wine bar, next to the wine bar, so yeah,
Speaker 1: you get cat in the Hat and then you get lit.
Speaker 1: And so it's a really huge bookstore in Pasadena that
Speaker 1: like is like my favorite store in the whole world.
Speaker 1: And they have in addition to books, they have like
Speaker 1: a really extensive stationary section. They sell mont Blanc pins,
Speaker 1: they sell they have really nice greeting cards, great little
Speaker 1: gifty things. Yeah, it rocks. And then inside of it
Speaker 1: they put like a legit wine bar, which is just
Speaker 1: like my dream come true. And I'm going to see
Speaker 1: a play with a friend tonight, so I was dealing
Speaker 1: that wine bar because I want to get a win there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is some culture wine and I kind of am
Speaker 1: that bitch. I think that. Yeah, Like I feel like
Speaker 1: I am kind of a parody of Pasadena lady. That
Speaker 1: is kind of my life. They've they've stuck a V
Speaker 1: on front of romans. Yes, okay, got yeah, yeah sup.
Speaker 1: Producer Victor, who is from Los Angeles and also just
Speaker 1: a fan of all things that start with V. Chimed
Speaker 1: in that that helped clarify it because I was having
Speaker 1: a hell of a time on Google over here. That's
Speaker 1: cool is the theater You're going to see the Blueman Group. Totally.
Speaker 1: I actually did work for the Blueman Group in college.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, because at the time it was like the
Speaker 1: early odds and you guys have to like when Blueman
Speaker 1: Group first hit the scene, I was like, they are
Speaker 1: changing the game and I want to be a part
Speaker 1: of it. Next level. I mean, it is a piece
Speaker 1: of avant garde theater that somehow became like a weird
Speaker 1: pop culture like throwaway thing. But yes, yeah, if you
Speaker 1: you first happened upon Blueman Group, you're like, whoa, what
Speaker 1: is that weird? Blow your mind? Yeah, couldn't handle that
Speaker 1: on strong acid. I even blew your mind yellow. It's
Speaker 1: so hard to not think of that to buy a
Speaker 1: spooky I just it really like nothing. I think it
Speaker 1: has so completely defined a thing. His attempt to become
Speaker 1: a blue bloom, blooming onion. But when you hear people
Speaker 1: talk about the process of like trying out for to
Speaker 1: be a bloom In. It it's very intense, and like
Speaker 1: the people who are in the group are like, I
Speaker 1: don't think he's bloom In material, like they you have
Speaker 1: to have so many skills. Yeah that alone being a
Speaker 1: good drummer alone, I don't know how you do that right.
Speaker 1: And then yeah there it's all. The show is all
Speaker 1: face tags. That's that's hard, is all? What? Hey? You know?
Speaker 1: Like I call it a facetag, like when somebody tells
Speaker 1: a joke and like you tag it with a facial expression.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah yeah, big facial expressions. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like bloom In. I was just listening to
Speaker 1: a podcast on Stuff you Should Know about Max head
Speaker 1: Run and like, how do you guys remember Matt or
Speaker 1: Max Headroom. Do you remember like that? It's like a
Speaker 1: Pepsi or a New Coke spokesperson, Like I remember it
Speaker 1: as like the height of just like trash culture when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, and that was another thing that
Speaker 1: like started as this like you know, punk rock like
Speaker 1: art thing and then just like got gobbled up by
Speaker 1: capitalism and bloom In. I mean they're still doing it
Speaker 1: as a theater though, it's not like they moved on
Speaker 1: to just be like starry spokespeople or something. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: if they were, I don't think we could fought them.
Speaker 1: They had a good run. Yeah's in a quarter of
Speaker 1: a century, they've been blooming in. Yeah. Yeah, well I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that is the theater that you're dead.
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to see Sunday in the Park with George.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yes, that you never heard of Sunday in
Speaker 1: the Park with George. No, I really named the only
Speaker 1: that I'm familiar. It's not like you're like Blueman group.
Speaker 1: That's for hacks. It's also the only piece of theater. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I know. It's just on time musical.
Speaker 1: Oh fun. Yeah, all right. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Radical honesty? Like, okay, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I think I think that we can sometimes like put
Speaker 1: a lot of value on being like honest for the
Speaker 1: point of being on for the sake of being honest,
Speaker 1: And like, I don't I'm fine with white lies, and
Speaker 1: like I would honestly rather have someone be nice to me.
Speaker 1: I'd rather have you been nice. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: like when people have a personality like I just tell
Speaker 1: it like it is and they're just mean, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not into it. I think it's overrated. Yeah, it's a lot,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of energy to be around those. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah for your little experiment, I have to like just
Speaker 1: gird myself for like the most uncomfortable thirty minutes of
Speaker 1: my life, you know, like that exactly, Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it can be pretty selfish, right, yeah, exactly. It's like you're, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're kind of pushing that on someone else without
Speaker 1: necessarily their consent or they're asking for it. I love
Speaker 1: it in small doses, though I don't like I don't
Speaker 1: think I could pull it off as a as a
Speaker 1: lifestyle like I did a twenty four hour lifestyle, but
Speaker 1: having like this kind of came up when we were talking.
Speaker 1: There's that the cut article about like new rules of etiquette,
Speaker 1: and one of them was like, don't tell people who
Speaker 1: you think they look like. And that's a perfect example.
Speaker 1: That is great advice for you. However, if you have
Speaker 1: a look like about me, I want to know what
Speaker 1: it is desperately. Even though I'm not gonna like it,
Speaker 1: I'm I like, that is an amazing little glimpse into
Speaker 1: like how people see you when they first see you
Speaker 1: that like you'll never be able to get other than
Speaker 1: that way, and it's like uncomfortable and I don't want
Speaker 1: to know it all the time. But I also have
Speaker 1: no idea like how people perceive me, So like somebody
Speaker 1: who's practicing radical honesty, it's good to like get get
Speaker 1: next to them for fifteen minutes. If you're in the mood,
Speaker 1: you know, what, is there one that sticks out in
Speaker 1: your mind of like a look like that you got
Speaker 1: that that made you happy? John Mayer made me happy.
Speaker 1: That's a good one, and then Walton Goggins made me unhappy.
Speaker 1: I got Walton Guttins right. Sometimes it's a big ego
Speaker 1: boost and other times it's it's crushing. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I don't want to be I changed my
Speaker 1: whole life once someone told me that I was a
Speaker 1: w It's irreferable damage. And I think it's that thing
Speaker 1: of like you remember the bad comments so much more
Speaker 1: than the good ones. It's like one radically honest comparison
Speaker 1: to somebody you don't want to look like, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you're on a whole new life trajectory. Walton Goggins
Speaker 1: was not is not a dead like looking guy or anything.
Speaker 1: It was just like the it was a character that
Speaker 1: this person was like saying, oh my god, you so
Speaker 1: remind me of them, and like you look exactly like them,
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't wasn't my favorite. So well, I
Speaker 1: don't see it. If that, Oh my god, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Okay, I need to google up every episode
Speaker 1: now just so people can from like vice principles and
Speaker 1: I think, just okay, this guy okay, yeah, yeah, a
Speaker 1: good name though, great, amazing name. Yeah, like such a
Speaker 1: Civil War soldier who died on the battlefield. Just incredible.
Speaker 1: I was born to die on the battlefield, like a
Speaker 1: Civil war battle. What is something you think is underrated? Test? Um?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's underrated. I mean, I'll use
Speaker 1: it for this category. But I've been watching this show
Speaker 1: on Netflix called Contraras and it's a really good show. Um.
Speaker 1: It's Spanish language show about this single mom who just
Speaker 1: got out of jail and in order to like impress
Speaker 1: her daughter, she gets into lucha baboom. Oh, it's just
Speaker 1: a real are you well written? Fun show on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Against the rope is like the English title boom is
Speaker 1: like the indie wrestling thing. Yeah, or she becomes a
Speaker 1: Luca Door. I don't know if it's called actually, but um, okay,
Speaker 1: it's just a really well written, fun premise for show.
Speaker 1: It's got like a fun mother daughter story, just a
Speaker 1: really fun kind of back in beachdel tests as fuck
Speaker 1: awesome female driven show. Sign me up. There you go.
Speaker 1: And Kaitlyn, you recently saw the ant Man movie? How
Speaker 1: how did that do on the are you are? You are?
Speaker 1: I don't want you to step on anything that's coming
Speaker 1: up on the back. Well, no, I don't and fishing
Speaker 1: Jamie and I covering ant Man three anytimes? But I mean,
Speaker 1: there are some women in the movie, all right? Is it?
Speaker 1: This seems to be like the The reviews are lower
Speaker 1: than average for your standard MCU movie. When I saw
Speaker 1: the trailer, I was like, they seem to be leaning
Speaker 1: into the thing I don't like about Marvel, which is
Speaker 1: like all the portals, just like portals on portals on portals,
Speaker 1: so many lasers. Okay, here, well, I know we we
Speaker 1: were just talking about radical honesty, which I feel fine
Speaker 1: doing to a movie that doesn't have feelings, although people
Speaker 1: made that movie and they do have feelings. That said,
Speaker 1: a aunt Man three is a turd. It's a big
Speaker 1: old turd. I'm not saying anything new here. Yeah, Marvel
Speaker 1: is in its flop era right now because the last
Speaker 1: several I've seen have not been great. Thor Love and
Speaker 1: Thunder one of the worst movies I've seen in a while,
Speaker 1: really said it. Yeah, I didn't. I was just out
Speaker 1: after the Sam Raimi Doctor Strange one. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is that was also not great, but like compared
Speaker 1: to love multi versus multiverse stuff. They were like, this
Speaker 1: is going to be a multiverse one. This is like
Speaker 1: our everything everywhere all at once, and it was bad.
Speaker 1: It was bad. I'm hoping, well, Spider Verse is not MCU,
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping that the new Spider Verse movie is
Speaker 1: just as good as the first one, which is perfect,
Speaker 1: perfect film, no notes, so good. You liked that movie
Speaker 1: so much that you got me to show it to
Speaker 1: my like two year old, I think at the time,
Speaker 1: and I now know, like he's fine, it's fine, I think,
Speaker 1: but like it was it was definitely too early, and
Speaker 1: that like my five year old who's obsessed with Spider Man,
Speaker 1: I still haven't shown it to him because it just
Speaker 1: felt like it was a lot. But do you do
Speaker 1: you have a great period with kids, like because you
Speaker 1: can cuss around babies for a little bit, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think until their thirteenth birthday, Okay, between fifteen and six. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's yeah, and then you can safe fuck again. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's right. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back and yeah. So Malcolm
Speaker 1: X's daughter, Elyatashabez, filed notices stating her intention to sue
Speaker 1: the FBI, CIA, MYPD for conspiring to assassinate her father
Speaker 1: the like there was a Netflix documentary that pointed to
Speaker 1: the fact that two of the people who were convicted
Speaker 1: of the of assassinating her father were not there that
Speaker 1: day and so that they were eventually like the the
Speaker 1: Innocence Project and a local DA I believe reopened the
Speaker 1: case and you know, Muhammed a Zi's and Khalil Islam
Speaker 1: were cleared because there were just so much evidence that
Speaker 1: they again were not there that day, weren't present or murder.
Speaker 1: The key piece of evidence that seemingly inspired the new
Speaker 1: suit surface last year, and it is a letter written
Speaker 1: by a now dead NYPD officer who confessed that he
Speaker 1: had been compelled by his supervisors at the New York
Speaker 1: Police Department to coax two members of Malcolm X's security
Speaker 1: team into committing crimes, meaning they were in jail during
Speaker 1: the event, allowing law enforcement agencies to murder Malcolm X,
Speaker 1: which like does sound like how police forces seem to operate.
Speaker 1: Sounds very familiar. Yeah, like falsely accused and imprisoned somebody
Speaker 1: so that you know, like I again, the details aren't
Speaker 1: all there about like police officers walked up and like
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger, but it seemed like they were told
Speaker 1: this was going to happen. They didn't stop it. They
Speaker 1: are rested, according to you know, this letter from an
Speaker 1: NYPD officer who was like, yeah, just wait till I'm
Speaker 1: dead and then you can you can release this. But
Speaker 1: they arrested parts of his security team that would make
Speaker 1: it difficult for him to be murdered. And then when
Speaker 1: it happened, this officer threatened to resign, but his supervisors
Speaker 1: told him that they would charge him with false crimes
Speaker 1: if he did, which again seems to be there m
Speaker 1: in this case. So yeah, it's it's a mess. I
Speaker 1: just I remember when the article came out about two
Speaker 1: of the three assassins being cleared due to like all
Speaker 1: of this evidence. The New York Times article just like
Speaker 1: really seeming weird to me because like, so it contains
Speaker 1: the sentence, nor did it uncover a police or government
Speaker 1: conspiracy to murder him. But then later it says mister
Speaker 1: Vince's reinvestigation, conducted with the Innocence Project and the officer
Speaker 1: off of David Chanese, a civil rights lawyer, contended with
Speaker 1: serious obstacles. Many of those involved in the murder case,
Speaker 1: including witnesses, investigators, and trial lawyers, as well as other
Speaker 1: potential suspects, did long ago. Key documents were lost to time,
Speaker 1: and physical evidence such as murder weapons were no longer
Speaker 1: available to be tested, which again, like just that's super
Speaker 1: convenient for the police to lose all that shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they are the custodians of that evidence, but right, like
Speaker 1: lost to time. Who will somebody in time lost them?
Speaker 1: It's just lost to time. We're gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: blame time on this one test. Well, you know, as
Speaker 1: what happens in Marvel movies, a portal opens up and
Speaker 1: and then the evidence it gets lost in the space
Speaker 1: time continuum, and you know what happens, and then so
Speaker 1: on top of all this ship, there's this part of
Speaker 1: the New York Times article that's like buried down, you know,
Speaker 1: five six paragraphs. Time prosecutors notes indicate they failed to
Speaker 1: disclose the presence of undercover officers in the ballroom at
Speaker 1: the time of the shooting, and police department files revealed
Speaker 1: that a reporter for the New York Daily News received
Speaker 1: a call the morning of the shooting indicating Malcolm X
Speaker 1: would be murdered. So there was somebody who's like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is happening. They had undercover officers there, like in
Speaker 1: the ballroom and managed to like convict to people who
Speaker 1: weren't even there somehow, and like didn't disclose that they
Speaker 1: were present for it. Like I don't know. It's a
Speaker 1: lot about her. Undercover officerism works, But you're an undercover officer,
Speaker 1: you're in a ballroom, somebody dies, don't you then like
Speaker 1: out yourself as a police and start investigating the situation
Speaker 1: right away if you're surprised, unless you're right, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very suspicious. I'm glad that she's bringing this case and yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, we'll see where it leads. Probably
Speaker 1: not in the New York times, at least not until
Speaker 1: there's like irrefutable reporting. But so that's I think, I
Speaker 1: don't know, hopeful news that people will continue to like
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this ship. May justice be served? Yeah,
Speaker 1: in uh well, speaking of served, Starbucks has a secret
Speaker 1: weapon and it's trans was a serve honesty, justice being
Speaker 1: served in the assassination of MALGAMEX and then turning it
Speaker 1: over to Starbucks. Yeah, that's great, it's it was. It
Speaker 1: was a transition as smooth as olive oil, as olive
Speaker 1: oil blended into your coffee, which is apparently a thing
Speaker 1: that Howard Schultz saw some Italian people doing in Italy
Speaker 1: and was like that, we're going to do that, and
Speaker 1: it's my idea. Essentially, Supposedly, the olive oil creates a velvety, smooth,
Speaker 1: rich texture with the buttery, round flavors imparted by the
Speaker 1: olive oil perfectly pairing with the soft chocolate e notes
Speaker 1: of the coffee. I don't know which coffee they're talking
Speaker 1: about there, because I've not tasted many soft chocolate e
Speaker 1: notes in Starbucks coffee. Rarely soft hard cigarette but hard
Speaker 1: burnt asque cigarette. But maybe like if you have you
Speaker 1: ever accidentally eaten, like just the darkest unsweetened chocolate, the
Speaker 1: like you can't like your mouth just revolts and like
Speaker 1: just starts spitting it out like that. I can see
Speaker 1: that maybe a little bit, but I don't think of
Speaker 1: them as soft chocolatey notes by any stretch well gibe
Speaker 1: Either're talking about the frappuccino m Yeah, the moca. They're
Speaker 1: soft and chocolate when you put just a shitload of
Speaker 1: chocolate ice cream. Yeah, yeah, you put a whole chocolate
Speaker 1: syrup soft. Yes. So Howard Schultz visionary in his third
Speaker 1: term as the CEO of Starbucks. This is the thing
Speaker 1: that like these CEOs who like luck into having great
Speaker 1: success and then you know, leave and people start treating
Speaker 1: them like human beings again, and then they're like, actually,
Speaker 1: the person who I picked to succeed me is a maniac,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to come in and take that job
Speaker 1: back over. So he's in his third spell as the CEO,
Speaker 1: but we need him because, as he said, this is
Speaker 1: a transformational moment for the company, which will they will
Speaker 1: bring together an alchemy of nature's finest ingredients. I mean
Speaker 1: that's poetry. Yeah, the alchemy of nature's finest ingredients here's
Speaker 1: what I will say. And let me preface this by
Speaker 1: saying that I don't know anything about cooking or making
Speaker 1: food or anything that you can consume. I'm famously, very
Speaker 1: very bad at it. But I am really good at
Speaker 1: eating food and enjoying the best thank you, and enjoying
Speaker 1: tasty food. I don't see how the flavor of olive
Speaker 1: oil could. I just I feel like it wouldn't compliment
Speaker 1: the soft chocolate notes of like of a good coffee.
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm very wrong about this. I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I'm here like I am. I
Speaker 1: If I see olive oil in like a dessert at
Speaker 1: a restaurant, I'm always going to choose that dessert like
Speaker 1: I a should love. I had a gelato in Italy
Speaker 1: that was like lemon olive oil basil, and I still
Speaker 1: think about it. Oh my god, your bougie bides are
Speaker 1: just like spiking. I'm telling you, I'm sorry, this is
Speaker 1: who I have dessert. I have to even know this
Speaker 1: was an option for like for drinks for desserts. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think because it's not like salty, but
Speaker 1: it kind of gives you that like savory note that
Speaker 1: you want. It was like a little something sweet. And
Speaker 1: and when that bulletproof coffee trend happened, I love trendy stuff,
Speaker 1: so I tried that for a while, and like the
Speaker 1: butter and coffee combo, I kind of dug like a
Speaker 1: little bit of fat in your coffee is kind of nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: milk shouldn't be the only fat that we're consuming our coffee. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we should be putting ice cream. Also, thank you, Finally
Speaker 1: someone's at it. Yeah, I actually have done that where
Speaker 1: I didn't have any because I'm a big old baby. Also,
Speaker 1: I think everyone's just learning that I am actually really
Speaker 1: bad at eating food and I have horrible taste. But
Speaker 1: I love the like whatever brand like coffee mate, like
Speaker 1: liquid non dairy coffee creamers that are just like so
Speaker 1: sweet and it's like not even real. It's like chemicals
Speaker 1: made in a lab. But I that's why I have
Speaker 1: to drink my coffee adding so much of that. But
Speaker 1: I didn't have any of that one time, And but
Speaker 1: I did have vanilla ice cream. So I just added
Speaker 1: a bunch of vanilla ice cream to my coffee. Was it?
Speaker 1: And it was brave with me? Thank you? It is?
Speaker 1: Here are so many temperatures in one cup. I was, yeah,
Speaker 1: was it good? Yeah, it was it good. No, it
Speaker 1: did not turn out well because it's not as good
Speaker 1: as the coffee Mate is just like molecularly structured to
Speaker 1: the second, like a drop like enters the coffee, it
Speaker 1: immediately mixes at the perfect rot you know, exactly beautiful.
Speaker 1: It's all both that and climate change, Like we really
Speaker 1: have to trust the scientists. Yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: like I have lost my nerve on coffee mate. I
Speaker 1: was drinking so much coffee mate for a long time
Speaker 1: and then I was just like, I have this, this
Speaker 1: is probably bad for me. Are so fed up? Now?
Speaker 1: Oh god, I can't stop. Teeth started falling out. Yeah
Speaker 1: it's a but it is. I Well, I like my
Speaker 1: coffee black, which is why I'm like even entertaining the
Speaker 1: notion of the olive oil thing, because that's about as
Speaker 1: like sweet as I'll take it. But my dad, Caitlyn
Speaker 1: used to mix. He used to scramble eggs. Yeah, my dad.
Speaker 1: He used to scramble that coffee meat stuff in with
Speaker 1: our eggs, which sounds really fucking gross, but it's actually
Speaker 1: because you know how it tastes good. When you get
Speaker 1: a little bit of maple syrup on your eggs. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it's like that. Oh yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: it like turned them into like a cloudy like cotton
Speaker 1: candy style, like you know, just because there's like so
Speaker 1: much scientific engineering in that that like you just like
Speaker 1: heat that and suddenly it turns into the alien spaceship
Speaker 1: from Nope, it's just like this beautiful like yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: that's I won't try that, but I admire your dad
Speaker 1: Caitlin's bravery. Yeah, so shout out to my dad Caitlin.
Speaker 1: Your dad's name is Caitlin, or if you have multiple
Speaker 1: Caitlin's in your life and there's the dad Caitlin and
Speaker 1: then the other Caitlin's, just based on how you were
Speaker 1: saying it. But can it be both? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: this is based on an actual Italian trend that that
Speaker 1: Howard Schultz saw and so so like it's probably it
Speaker 1: probably can be good, you know. It's just this doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be the coffee. No. I think you're right though,
Speaker 1: Like you're right, the Starbucks are not the right hands
Speaker 1: for this, Like I would trust it at intelligence yea,
Speaker 1: even though I do think intelligence he is very overrated.
Speaker 1: I would trust olive oil coffee more in their hands. Yea. Intelligence,
Speaker 1: yea seems about right for you. Like I just I admire,
Speaker 1: like the consistency and specificity of your taste. When is
Speaker 1: coffee being gonna step up their game and start putting?
Speaker 1: I don't know, coffee being. No one ever talks about
Speaker 1: coffee bean, is what I'm saying. Everyone's like, oh Starbucks, this,
Speaker 1: Starbucks that. Yeah, it's so true. And I feel like
Speaker 1: coffee Being because I think they peaked in two thousand
Speaker 1: and six, like every celebrity was always getting coffee being
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six. Yeah, and then they fell
Speaker 1: into UK over That's what happened. God bless Dunkin Donuts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck, I am a living for that. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm so here for all of that partnership. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's cute, it is. It's I kind of fell off
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck for a minute until he got back together
Speaker 1: with Jlo and Duncan. Oh man, he should not fight
Speaker 1: his roots. Yeah, but they uh. Just with regards to
Speaker 1: the you know, exchange of ideas between Starbucks and Italy
Speaker 1: as a nation, like star Starbucks takes their ideas. Italy
Speaker 1: does not want to take any of Starbucks. They did,
Speaker 1: they flopped big time over there. So any imagine, Yeah,
Speaker 1: why would you ever go to Starbucks in Italy? Right,
Speaker 1: it's truly like you just want to see all of
Speaker 1: the American tourists in Italy. You go, you go to
Speaker 1: the Starbucks. But yeah, it's like shocking to see a
Speaker 1: Starbucks in another country. I feel like, all right, Russell
Speaker 1: Crowe is the Popes exorcist, so prepared, it's about time,
Speaker 1: thank you. So this is the trail dropped I recommend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I actually don't like you. You could totally
Speaker 1: miss this, I will tell you. The important thing is
Speaker 1: that he does say if you have a problem with me,
Speaker 1: take it up with my boss, the Pope. But there's
Speaker 1: also so like our writer JM kind of did a
Speaker 1: dive into this because this is based on a real character,
Speaker 1: as like all the exorcism movies are like this based
Speaker 1: on actual events in the Spookiest year nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1: The and this person is like a real like he
Speaker 1: created the NBA of exorcists, like and you know they've
Speaker 1: got it like a team. Yeah with the Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's like the official League of Let let me see
Speaker 1: if I can find the name of it. But like
Speaker 1: it's he's like, you got to be a certified exorcist,
Speaker 1: the League of Extraordinary Exorcist. Yes, exactly, but he so.
Speaker 1: In addition to being like Pope John Paul the seconds
Speaker 1: number one bottom bitch exorcist, he is also like a
Speaker 1: like a right wing political commentator or like cultural commentator.
Speaker 1: The movie portrays him as like a superhero battling demon children,
Speaker 1: but in real life he has blasted the evils of nightclubs,
Speaker 1: Harry Potter, and yoga, which he claims yoga. I'll read
Speaker 1: some direct quotes for you from this man. Practicing yoga
Speaker 1: brings evil, as does reading Harry Potter. They may both
Speaker 1: seem innoculous, but they both deal with magic, and that
Speaker 1: leads to evil. Yoga is the devil's work. You think
Speaker 1: you are doing it for stretching your mind and body,
Speaker 1: but it leads to Hinduism. All these Oriental religions are
Speaker 1: based on the false belief of reincarnation, and then, oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, in Harry Potter, the devil is at work
Speaker 1: in a cunning and crafty way. He is using his
Speaker 1: extraordinary powers of magic and evil. And then this is
Speaker 1: my favorite. My advice to young people would be to
Speaker 1: watch out for nightclub because the path is always the same. Alcohol, sex, drugs,
Speaker 1: and Satanic sects. So sex and sex, yeah, sex sects,
Speaker 1: the path, That path is always the same. I feel
Speaker 1: shorthanded because I didn't do a nightclub I've done. I've
Speaker 1: done three of those things and never got invited to
Speaker 1: the Satanic sects. Seriously, I did all these things. Yeah, yeah, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: I just say so. His name is Father Gabriel a morph,
Speaker 1: A morph which sounds to me, you know, in like
Speaker 1: exorcism movies where someone's being possessed and then like the
Speaker 1: demon or the devil is speaking through the body that
Speaker 1: they're possessing, and they're like, like, Jessica isn't here anymore.
Speaker 1: This is a morph. Like, yeah, it sounds like his
Speaker 1: name sounds like Jessica. Only a morse. If you would
Speaker 1: like to leave a message for Jessica though, just just
Speaker 1: let me know. Yeah. Amrth is definitely like a the
Speaker 1: name of one of the like dementors from Harry Potter. Like,
Speaker 1: I think that's why his feelings were hurt by Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: Is it just feels like the most evil name possible exactly.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the m Night Schamalan twist at the end though,
Speaker 1: is that they need an exorcist for the exorcist tess
Speaker 1: or did you see the trailer, because that seems to
Speaker 1: be what's at stake. The Pope's exorcist gets possessed by
Speaker 1: the devil. Western Civilization falls type shit. So wow, that's beautiful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was, I was thinking, what if he Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: he's a he's possessed and that's why he's so good
Speaker 1: at exorcisms because he's like a demon talking to other demons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like, I need you all to leave the room.
Speaker 1: It's like just like that, like Angel or Blade, Like
Speaker 1: they're like vampires or part vampires, and that's why they're
Speaker 1: so good at like their job. They know the m
Speaker 1: O people. Actually, yeah, hey, cop and criminal are one
Speaker 1: and the same. It's yeah, it all goes back. Cops
Speaker 1: are evil, that's right. A cab includes the popes exactly.
Speaker 1: I also love how like there's just rampant and don't
Speaker 1: love but like there's rampant pedophilia going on in this organization.
Speaker 1: For decades and they think Harry Potter. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean and then also like of course it's like yeah,
Speaker 1: then there's progressive people that have issues with the Harry Potters.
Speaker 1: It it reminds me of that thing of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we all agree the government's messed up. Which way are
Speaker 1: you talking about the Yeah, they have to make up
Speaker 1: satanic sects in order to distract from what they're doing exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, the Pope's Exorcist is coming to a
Speaker 1: theater near you. We'll probably be seen by way too many.
Speaker 1: Going are we gonna have to like be anti horror
Speaker 1: movie podcast? Now? I like I don't want to, but
Speaker 1: like I think Jamie one time was on here and
Speaker 1: was talking about the conjuring movies being based on like
Speaker 1: just the worst humans. Yes they're like really yeah creepy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she knows more about it than I do. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there's just it's always bad, but I mean it makes sense. So, like,
Speaker 1: have you guys met anyone that, like you would think
Speaker 1: Dabbles and Exorcism were conjuring? Yeah, my best friend, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Dabbles, we all dabble a little bit. We're
Speaker 1: all kinds time exorcists Yeah, I've dabbled in the satanic
Speaker 1: sext I haven't but into it as the career. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: I dabble in satanic sex sex. Yeah, it's all in together.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just a big stew of good times.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that if I make that my full
Speaker 1: time thing, do I stop loving it? You know, it's like,
Speaker 1: once it becomes your job, let's take a quick break,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll talk about mushrooms. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and mushrooms are having a bit of a mome. I
Speaker 1: would say, thanks to the Last of Us, thanks to
Speaker 1: psilocybin being kind of slightly less criminalized than it used
Speaker 1: to be. But mainly i'd say because of the Last
Speaker 1: of Us. There's also a Mario movie coming, although it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it leans that hard into the mushroom
Speaker 1: of it all. Missed opportunity, I know, exactly. Are you
Speaker 1: guys watching The Last of Us? Yep, not yet. Two
Speaker 1: episodes in and then it DHBO Max app broke on me.
Speaker 1: I dared to try and download the other episodes because
Speaker 1: I had to be on a flight, and they were like, well,
Speaker 1: that failed, and now your app is broken and you
Speaker 1: can never watch those episodes ever again. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: here episode three is good. I enjoyed the first two
Speaker 1: quite a bit, and particularly the thing that seems to
Speaker 1: have everybody interested at least when it comes to like
Speaker 1: real world implications, and that is like the opening of
Speaker 1: the show has this like scientific debate happening on a
Speaker 1: TV show back when TV was like boring as fuck,
Speaker 1: and they just have like three scientists on being like hmm,
Speaker 1: like plagues are bad, huh, and the scientists are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: plagues are bad, and then the third ones like, actually,
Speaker 1: I think a fungal pandemic would be the worst one.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of convincing, it's pretty it's pretty fun.
Speaker 1: And then like the whole thing is based on that
Speaker 1: scenario coming true in two thousand and three, and so
Speaker 1: I think because they based it on that. And then
Speaker 1: there's the actual footage from Planet Earth of an ant
Speaker 1: being taken over by this fungus that like turns you
Speaker 1: into an automaton. People are understandably a little bit freaked out.
Speaker 1: But the video game specifically took its inspiration from that
Speaker 1: BBC clip and hung over high school teacher emergency kit
Speaker 1: Planet Earth because there's a segment in which the fungus
Speaker 1: like takes over not just the mind of an ant,
Speaker 1: but like it's like puppeting its body to get to
Speaker 1: the top of a tree to them, like spit the
Speaker 1: itself all over like the other ant colony. And that's possession. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that those ants need exercis yea, so weird they need
Speaker 1: an exorcist, yes, And that there is a little global
Speaker 1: warming climate change aspect of it, because the thing that
Speaker 1: has made it possible for the fungus is that the
Speaker 1: planet has warmed a few degrees because like that the
Speaker 1: current issue with a fungal pandemic would be that our
Speaker 1: bodies are too warm for the fungus. And they're like,
Speaker 1: but if the planet gets warmer than it might learn
Speaker 1: how to how to live in a climate and then
Speaker 1: and then we're all fucked. So how much of this
Speaker 1: is grounded in truth or is all this being extrapolated
Speaker 1: from the zombie ant? I think it's all being extrapolated
Speaker 1: from the zombie ant. And scientists are like, that's kind
Speaker 1: of a big leap from insects to humans, Like, our
Speaker 1: bodies are pretty difficult to take over their unless exactly
Speaker 1: you've absolutely messed your body up with drinking too much coffee. Mate.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I'm a prime candidate to have my
Speaker 1: body just completely possessed by fungus. Yeah. One of the
Speaker 1: first like viral articles we did, it cracked with that,
Speaker 1: like a lot of people liked. I think I think
Speaker 1: it was Actually Jason Hargon wrote, the whole thing was
Speaker 1: like five plausible zombie apocalypse scenarios, and one of them
Speaker 1: was about like a fun I think it's a fungus,
Speaker 1: but it's like something that takes over the mind of
Speaker 1: mice and like makes them like the smell of cat
Speaker 1: urine so that the mice then like start going towards cats,
Speaker 1: which because the I don't know if it's that what
Speaker 1: the parasite likes to reproduce and cat intestines, so like
Speaker 1: takes over the mind of the mouse or the rat
Speaker 1: to like and mice and rats are not that far
Speaker 1: from us, So I'm just saying, I mean, I have
Speaker 1: some notes. Wait, the this parasite tricks the mice into
Speaker 1: liking the smell of cat urine so that it goes
Speaker 1: to be near cats, and then the cats eat the mice,
Speaker 1: so that the pas and the intestines of the that's
Speaker 1: it's a pot that's like kind of convoluted for a move,
Speaker 1: Like if it was in the Mood a movie, you'd
Speaker 1: be like, wait, what, like that's two that's like three
Speaker 1: st that's too complicated. But I wouldn't. Why wouldn't it
Speaker 1: just learn to like get into cat food. But no, there,
Speaker 1: it's it's it needs a middleman. It's it all means
Speaker 1: the thing you gotta get the middle man. Cat food
Speaker 1: doesn't have eyes and legs, so that mice wants to
Speaker 1: just jump down the cat's cat's throat and is doing
Speaker 1: all the work for it. Yeah, but the degree to
Speaker 1: which it is convoluted does give me respect for and
Speaker 1: fear of fungus, because I mean, like you don't look
Speaker 1: at fungus is something that can think like multiple steps ahead.
Speaker 1: My dog can't think multiple steps ahead. Yes, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know this is playing chess. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Wow. I
Speaker 1: don't think the toxoplasmos as gandhia is the thing I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. It's an infectious disease, but I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think it is a a fungus because it can
Speaker 1: already like get in the bodies of like warm blooded mammals.
Speaker 1: Isn't that why pregnant people have to stay away from
Speaker 1: cat litter? Because yes, so it also like has some
Speaker 1: noticeable effects on humans, but it's like not statistically significant,
Speaker 1: but there there has been speculation that it like changes
Speaker 1: human behavior slightly. So we might all be just doing
Speaker 1: the bidding of this one parasite. Like I think people
Speaker 1: who have it high concentrations of it and their bloodstream
Speaker 1: tend to have more cats, which of course is like
Speaker 1: that's a correlation causation thing, but yeah, you know, who
Speaker 1: knows which one came first. But that would be absolutely
Speaker 1: wild if it was like brainwashing us into being like cats,
Speaker 1: cats love me, they are my children. I mean, if so,
Speaker 1: I'm already there. Yeah you know, m that happy? It
Speaker 1: leads to happiness. Yes, it's a parasite that leads to snuggling,
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, so I don't know, they're like I
Speaker 1: feel like there are other parasites that we should be
Speaker 1: more worried about, because the other thing is that, like
Speaker 1: even the fungal parasite that like has the ant video
Speaker 1: clip that everybody's like seen, and does the show use
Speaker 1: that or did I just like look it up on YouTube?
Speaker 1: I think you just I don't remember seeing it on
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, that's what aunt Man should have been about,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, ant Man three quantum Mania more like
Speaker 1: ant Man three uh gets devoured by fungus. Ant brain
Speaker 1: Mania exactly opens his mouth and ants are just like
Speaker 1: swarming out. But yeah, like the ants don't turn into
Speaker 1: like rage monsters like the humans in the Last of Us.
Speaker 1: They're just like climbed to a high tree branch to
Speaker 1: die alone and spread their sports everywhere. So there's like
Speaker 1: probably less entertaining ways to that a fungal thing probably
Speaker 1: get us, and like it does, like fungal infections happen
Speaker 1: like kill millions of people every year, so it's not
Speaker 1: like we're immune to it. It's just probably not going
Speaker 1: to like turn into a thing where people are running
Speaker 1: around biting one another, because that's also just like maybe
Speaker 1: not as effective. I do think, like, after seeing how
Speaker 1: humanity responded to the COVID epidemic kindemic, we're fucked. Like
Speaker 1: I think we're totally like, no matter what it is,
Speaker 1: we're completely screwed. Yeah. The thing, I mean, the show,
Speaker 1: the episodes I've seen of it so far seem like
Speaker 1: it's just a metaphor for like climate disaster, like everybody
Speaker 1: like turns on each other and like there's a shortage
Speaker 1: of supplies and people become murderous, and you know, like
Speaker 1: the main characters that we see die, like at least
Speaker 1: one of them is like killed by the lease just
Speaker 1: for being like in the wrong place at the wrong time,
Speaker 1: you know. So like I do feel like all of
Speaker 1: these things are dealing with our impending like the part
Speaker 1: of our brain that is allowed to acknowledge that, like
Speaker 1: things are going in a really dark direction that is
Speaker 1: going to potentially cause the civilization as we know it
Speaker 1: to dissolve. I think there's I think we've always got
Speaker 1: a chance, you know. I think there's I think there's
Speaker 1: a chance, hopefully this new generation, which they must love
Speaker 1: it when we say yeah, but they got it. Ye,
Speaker 1: Well they said that about us, and you're welcome, world,
Speaker 1: it's not about us. But then they didn't let anyone
Speaker 1: in gen Z like ever have any power. They're they're
Speaker 1: just like now we're gonna hang onto this for a
Speaker 1: little while. Actually basically until you can peel the presidency
Speaker 1: out of our cold dead hands. We will be president.
Speaker 1: Thank you. So one of the points that the scientist
Speaker 1: makes in that first scene is like a lot of
Speaker 1: our most like mind altering substances start with fungus like ergot, psilocybin,
Speaker 1: even LSD. I didn't realize this, but LSD like comes
Speaker 1: from a fungus like in its earliest form, which is
Speaker 1: just I think this has to take over the top
Speaker 1: spot of like show that you should not start watching
Speaker 1: after you just took a psychedelog Oh yeah, like really
Speaker 1: hard to take in. It would be a tough one,
Speaker 1: tough one to get passed. Yeah yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: even worse than Walking Dead really because there's no fungal
Speaker 1: element in Walking Dead. Yeah yeah, they're not like the
Speaker 1: mushrooms are taking over your mind and telling you to
Speaker 1: do their bidding. It's also like, I guess fungi are
Speaker 1: closer to animals than plants. Really. Oh that is upsetting. Also,
Speaker 1: we inhale fungal spores with every breath we take, so
Speaker 1: and that also sounds like poetry. Yeah, okay, well I
Speaker 1: guess I'll stop breathing. Yeah, no more coffee, no more breathing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways, with Mario movie coming along, Last of Us
Speaker 1: taking over the zeitgeist. Psilocybin on the rise. I just
Speaker 1: mushrooms are having a mom and we should all bow
Speaker 1: down to our new overlordsh Yeah, but the show stays good.
Speaker 1: Tests you're yeah, I'm only one. Yeah, it's been consistently
Speaker 1: amazing throughout episode three. Like I'm sure you already know.
Speaker 1: Prepare yourself for like an emotional hilarious right, son, you're
Speaker 1: gonna yeah, just romp in the park. Yeah, yeah, pick
Speaker 1: me up. Super producer Rebecca is asking if we think
Speaker 1: that's why mushrooms are often used to meet so institutes
Speaker 1: and cooking. I think that's probably right, and like I've
Speaker 1: had that thought before, like when eating mushrooms, But like
Speaker 1: this feels like very savory and meaty, been in some
Speaker 1: ways because it's kind of in our brains. Yeah yeah, meat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why I'm into it. I feel like I'm devouring
Speaker 1: a soul and that's what consumption is all about for me.
Speaker 1: You know, Well, test such a pleasure having you so
Speaker 1: much fun. Thanks for having me. Where can people find
Speaker 1: you and follow you? Um at testify Barker is my
Speaker 1: handle and everything, so it's Testify with two essays. My
Speaker 1: website is test barker dot com. You can listen to
Speaker 1: my podcast Lady to Lady. Everyone says, wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts, how's that so good? And is there a
Speaker 1: work of media that you've been enjoying? Yeah? I chose
Speaker 1: This is not a tweet, but the LA Public Libraries
Speaker 1: are releasing special edition P. Twenty two library cards that
Speaker 1: I saw today on Twitter. I just thought I would
Speaker 1: share because I think that's really cool they have, you know,
Speaker 1: for our non lie listeners. P. Twenty two is the
Speaker 1: Mountain Lion that lived in Griffith Park that died recently,
Speaker 1: and so they're they're releasing library cards that have its
Speaker 1: picture on them. Amazing. I live in LA and I
Speaker 1: needed that reminder of what P twenty two? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty two. Yeah, Caitlin. Pleasure having you these past couple
Speaker 1: of days on the show. Where can people find you?
Speaker 1: And is there a work media you've been enjoying? There?
Speaker 1: Sure is. I've been enjoying the rerelease of Titanic in
Speaker 1: movie theaters. Have you gone? Oh? Yeah? Yeah? I made it.
Speaker 1: I made it an event. I was like, treat this
Speaker 1: as though it's my wedding day. I want all my
Speaker 1: friends to come and um bring me gifts if you want. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said no gifts. Yeah, I did not say that
Speaker 1: I can give me gifts. Yes, I said guests please.
Speaker 1: And it was great. I loved every and I might
Speaker 1: go again before it leaves theaters. And then you can
Speaker 1: follow me on social media at Caitlin Durante and you
Speaker 1: can listen to my podcast that I co host with
Speaker 1: Jamie Loftus called The Bechtel Cast, and we discussed movies
Speaker 1: through an intersectional feminist lens. There you go. Let's see
Speaker 1: a tweet I've been enjoying. It's a good piece of history.
Speaker 1: Nick Houghton forty percent German. Congratulations at forty percent German, tweeted.
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety seven, Walmart tried to enter the German
Speaker 1: market and became a case study and failure. My favorite
Speaker 1: story from this period was that staff were trained to
Speaker 1: be friendly to customers, which freaked out some shoppers but
Speaker 1: made others think, staff, we're hitting on them. I just
Speaker 1: I love when like stories of like when Russia opened
Speaker 1: up to you know, American consumerism and they were like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean We're supposed to smile at people,
Speaker 1: and just like just no understanding of like this unnatural
Speaker 1: state of existence where you just like and then you
Speaker 1: pretend to be happy all the time, just just pretend
Speaker 1: to force it in their rim let's smile down their throats.
