Mariah “Alt Punk” Carey, Everyone Is Disaster Prepping? 11.03.26

0:05 Twitter porn is better than Pornhub. What's Twitter porn like? It's just every, like, everything.

0:12 Every kind of porn.

0:12 People just upload their own shit. People just upload their shit. Full ass videos to Twitter. Wow. Twitter porn, man. You haven't heard about Twitter after dark? Can I look at that on my phone? You can. That's the only reason I go to Twitter now.

0:23 They don't call it X, the everything app for nothing.

0:25 Yeah, triple X. And the everything app. And when I say everything is on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. everything. Wow. Yeah.

0:33 Do you remember that Lil Dicky video when he had a phone at the club and there was a thing where he was like, I don't masturbate mobily.

0:41 He's like, I don't jerk off mobily. Jerking off has probably gotten to be too accessible as we've gotten. Porn is everywhere. Porn is everywhere. So you can just jerk off more or just watch porn like a weirdo. Just stroking your chin. Just stroking your chin.

1:02 I watch it for the content.

1:03 For the plot. With a legal notepad. Interesting. It's the new Playboy magazine. I use a quill.

1:10 Quill and an inkwell as I watch. And I write it on papyrus. That's how I enjoy my porn. The classiest way.

1:16 I'm actually a cop.

1:17 Columnist at Pornhub.

1:18 Oh!

1:19 The way that Playboy used to hire real writers.

1:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:24 Washing machines got too small is your article, right? I love your Letterboxd XXX account. Washing machines have gotten too small. They've gotten too small. Too many people are getting stuck. Too many people are getting stuck.

1:37 A warning to the washing machine manufacturers.

1:42 I've noticed an epidemic of people being stuck in your front-loading machine.

1:46 It would be really funny to be a columnist on Pornhub, but you write in the universe that.

1:51 Exists in Pornhub.

1:52 Not enough wall art. Not enough wall art. Washing machines, too sticky. Not enough wall art.

2:00 That delivery driver's other orders are getting cold. He's going to... That's why I don't use DoorDash.

2:11 Think of that.

2:11 Unless that was a direct-to-you order, there are other orders. There are other orders. Getting tepid in that man's passenger seat. That's what I'm thinking.

2:17 Every time I've got a food order that's taken a long time, I'm just, like, picturing people.

2:22 I would also think of the unethical real estate agents that are out there. Oh, I know. That's a whole genre. That is.

2:28 Oh, yeah.

2:29 The real estate agent porn. There was a whole channel. There was a channel I was watching back in my porn days where I was like, it was, I forget what it was called, but it was just like. There was, yeah, at a certain point it was always like, oh, you're looking at this house. Do you have money? I got a lot of money.

2:43 You guys are like, yeah, I got money. I got dick too. Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 463, episode 2 of.

3:56 Probably the person that the mainstream media had done the dirtiest prior to my research, so... definitely if you want to.

4:05 Make it my mom feel ugly and shit yeah that was fucked up my mom still thinks it but she was talking about did you talk about the thing yeah everyone asked me if if if she was ugly for a japanese woman unbelievable yeah this is what they're.

4:19 Saying in the UK my mom lived in the UK around the time Yoko Ono was with John Lennon and like all these English people ask my mom they're like she's such an ugly woman is she is she is that particularly ugly for Japanese women because you're beautiful right.

4:33 The takeaway is these Japanese women are all butt ugly are you fucking for real answer for our weird racist take on Yoko Ono's looks anyways those episodes are on Monday.

9:06 For sure sure yeah there's only 50 months stock in baby oil that's right yeah tanked it tanked the stock probably.

9:14 My favorite just stray social media halloween costume i saw did you see the guy who had diddy grabbing him from behind.

9:20 Oh no but that's very funny you.

9:22 Know you know how there It was just some random guy. You know how there's the aliens grabbing you at Halloween costumes?

9:28 Yeah, and then they're over your shoulder.

9:30 It was unmistakable. Very good recreation of Diddy, and he would just walk up to... It was like three videos. One of them was him... trying to buy a bottle of baby oil at the grocery store and everybody just dying laughing.

9:44 Man. Yeah. The best one I saw was this dude who was dressed up as Martin Lawrence when he was wearing the disguise in Blue Streak with the pizza. That shit was so funny. He had the pizza spinning on his hand. Yeah, yeah.

9:53 And he had like the fake big butt shit doing like Martin Lawrence.

9:56 I'm coming here on the way to, who needs the cheese pizza? What a robbery. It made me like, just watch Blue Street. I know.

10:06 I think it's for such a specific audience, but when you recognize, you're like, this is fucking genius.

10:10 This is genius. Martin commented on it. Oh, he did?

10:14 Yeah.

10:14 All right. Yeah, stamp of approval.

10:17 I don't think Diddy commented on the one of the guy grabbing him from behind.

10:20 Well, you know.

10:20 Or him grabbing the guy from behind.

10:21 Just to wait. Just wait. Give him a year.

10:23 He got phones in there.

10:25 They got phones in there.

10:26 Jaquese, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about as we're heading into this election season. One of the things that's on our hearts right now is we're thinking about... our brothers and sisters at Fox News.

10:45 Yes.

10:45 Because their ratings are in decline.

10:47 Oh, is it?

10:48 And we're just trying to figure out why.

10:54 Oh.

10:55 So we're going to talk about where that could possibly be coming from. Nobody can quite figure it out. Lachlan Murdoch, the CEO, has some explanations.

11:04 Good. I'm sure they're all very clear. We'll talk about how the rest of the world's governments seem to all have kind of a shared message of you might want to prepare for disaster.

11:15 There's a lot of things that could be happening. In the U.S., we're not hearing the same thing, so we're just going to take a.

11:21 Look at why that could be.

11:23 The answer will startle you. The answer, this one thing, the U.S. government doesn't want you to know. We'll talk about the Mariah Carey announcement. It is now officially Christmas season because Mariah Carey.

11:34 Has said it is.

11:35 So we'll talk about that and the backstory behind. So she drops this video at midnight every Halloween, like Halloween ends. She's like, and now it's that time.

11:47 Yeah.

11:47 She falls out.

11:49 Yeah.

11:49 Who would have knew? Mariah Carey would be the queen of Christmas. I know. She played her cards right. Yeah.

11:55 So we'll talk about how she kind of wanted to play different cards earlier in her career.

11:59 Okay. She might still be trying. Okay. All of that, plenty more. But first, Jaquese, we do like to ask our guests. Oh, yeah? What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, search history that's revealing about who I am. Let me look. Let me look. You know what? I looked at this today.

12:20 How often should I clean my kitchen sink faucet? Let me tell you something. Like the spout? Like the spout.

12:27 Oh.

12:27 Because I looked at it and I was like, this is nasty.

12:32 What are you talking?

12:32 Gunk, hardened water? It was gunk, hardened water. Oh, yeah. And I was like, I'm drinking that. And I want to do, am I, is it just, because I'm a pretty clean guy. I clean my apartment. My apartment looks good. But like some of the shit that I don't think about, like all the little things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was one of it was like a white grayish sludge.

12:53 And that's where my water was coming from. And I'm like, oh, I should clean. So I like wrapped it up. I don't have the exact same thing. Oh, gross. Do y'all clean y'all sink faucet? No. Fuck no. Yeah. Clean your sink faucet.

13:06 The only time the closest I get is a shower head because that's where like the hardened minerals.

13:11 Start fucking up the spout. And I'm like, man, get that shit off.

13:13 First you scrape it.

13:14 First you scrape it with your finger.

13:16 In like weird directions.

13:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then you eventually clean it. Like you have a split stream after sex?

13:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

13:23 That's what I think. My shower head is like my dick.

13:26 Why is it in the side of the shower?

13:28 My shower head is exactly like my dick. My shower head is like my dick.

13:32 I've got a very weird dick. I've got a very strange dick.

13:33 It comes out of 48 multiple directions. It has a massage setting, which is kind of nice, but it comes in handy sometimes. Baby, can you massage me.

13:42 With your dick?

13:42 Come, please.

13:46 But yeah, I don't clean that. I didn't know.

13:48 We should.

13:49 We should clean it.

13:50 But I feel like every time I've looked under one, I go, what the fuck?

13:54 It's nasty. It's nasty. I was like, I made dinner last night and I was like, you know, I got one of the things you can pull. And just for some reason, I pulled it too far. Oh, and you looked at it. And I looked at it and I was like, this is what I'm drinking? Oh, yeah. So I put that joint in some vinegar.

14:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

14:10 That thing you can pull being like the faucet.

14:12 Like the faucet has like a little. It turns it. Because you know how the old traditional one. Yeah, it used to have the spray. Yeah. Got it. Remember back when we were a country and that was built on the side.

14:22 Next to your dishwasher. You had a little hose. Yes.

14:25 And now that thing is still there. Every kitchen sink still has that little thing. There's no little plate on it to be like, don't think about that anymore. Don't think about this no more. Don't think about this.

14:36 I think I'm going to remove this from my memory because I don't want to have to think about it.

14:41 When I heard you had to like replace your pillows every like one to two years. Yeah. And I was like, that's a big pillow on TWS, man. And I was like, bro, I got pillows older than me.

14:50 Right.

14:51 You know what I mean? That were handed down from my grandparents. That's the pillow I got for life. Yeah, yeah. Let me tell you, anything that shoots water in your crib, clean it.

14:58 Yeah.

14:59 My bidet.

15:00 Yeah, yeah.

15:00 I got a bidet. I do clean it too, but I was realizing like, I'll just water hitting my ass a little bit harder. I cleaned it, water got soft. Boom. Wow. Water wasn't hitting my ass harsh no more. Oh, like it was kind of like focusing the stream a bit. It was too harsh. Like when you put your thumb on the edge of a hose to get it to...

15:17 It was trying to get around the dirt, so it was too harsh. clean it clean it clean all your foul clean all your faucets.

15:25 There was a infomercial that i have like a very clear memory of from when i was a kid where they would take the shower head and like dip it clr yeah clr and pull it out and it.

15:35 Would just be like clean i remember and all the shit was like at first it was like brown and then would come out silver again yeah i need i need This is what I need. Calcium lime and rust. There it is. There you do. There you do. So there you go. That's your public service announcement. Come sponsor us.

15:50 Fucking dead products of yesteryear. Yes. Clap on, clap off. Sponsor me. Come on. That's how I learned rhythm as a white person. Clap on, clap off. Clap on.

16:01 Clap on.

16:03 No, Jack. You got to clap on a once. Come on, Jack. Let's start again. Clap on. Man, you're doing polyrhythms, bro. I don't know if you had a fucking... Yeah. It's very avant-garde. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're doing a lot of like Yerubin drumming polyrhythms, actually. Yeah, yeah. That's exactly what I was doing. Jaquese, what is something you think is underrated? Underrated?

16:25 Walk with me here. Straight men's nipples. Okay. We don't get them touched often enough. Oh, interesting. We don't get them touched often enough. Nobody cares about our nipples. You know, we could just be nippled out. Sure, sure, sure. But gay men get their nipples like, you know, for a rest. Tweaked and tweaked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe pierced. We don't think about our nipples enough, man. I think our nipples are underrated. I think it's a zone.

16:49 Yeah.

16:50 That we don't.

16:51 An erogenous zone.

16:51 It's an erogenous zone that we don't explore enough. Right. Because people will be like, girl, I don't use no bidet. Right. Because people's like weird homophobia around a bidet.

17:00 Weird homophobia, right.

17:01 And I'm like, my nipples, these are not sensitive. Sometimes I try and get them going. But listen, maybe the right person hasn't touched your nipples yet.

17:11 Yeah.

17:11 Maybe that's what it is. Hey, listen up, Her Majesty. Because everybody focuses on their nipples. Listen, I've slept with girls my whole life. They're not focusing on my nipples. I'm focusing on this.

17:19 And you go like this.

17:24 I have more body, please. What about my chocolate kisses? Yeah. And it's just right to the dick. Hit my nipples first. Hit my nipples first.

17:33 Are you going to get them pierced?

17:34 No.

17:35 Okay.

17:36 That's too much. Not yet.

17:37 The ultimate attention caller.

17:39 That's too much.

17:40 Could you maybe get the little thing that Janet had in Nipplegate?

17:43 What's that?

17:44 Oh, like the little starfish cover?

17:45 She had like a little starfish cover. I will walk. That is reversible.

17:47 I could do that.

17:48 I mean, do that.

17:50 For crowd control, you have been hearkening back and honoring, doing an homage to famous black comedians with your outfits.

17:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

17:57 I mean, that's a big outfit you gotta do to just have.

18:00 The- I mean, Janet has been in some comedy movies. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can wear it. I should wear like the Super Bowl Janet. With just my nipples covered.

18:09 One of the greatest bits of all time.

18:12 One of the greatest bits was Justin Timber throwing.

18:14 Her under the bus for that. I don't know what happened.

18:18 Yeah.

18:18 I think her boob actually did that on its own. Maybe she shouldn't be on TV.

18:22 I don't know.

18:22 I didn't have nothing to do with that. You guys, I am so sorry.

18:26 I don't know what she was doing.

18:27 I'm making you think.

18:28 Sorry. What is something you think is overrated?

18:35 Here's something I think is overrated. Have you guys, maybe you haven't seen this. I'm re-watching In Preparation for Doom.

18:41 Mm-hmm.

18:42 Doomsday, I should say. Avengers, Doomsday. You know how they gave the list. Like, these are the things you should watch before the movie.

18:49 Who does that?

18:51 Marvel.

18:51 Oh, they do?

18:52 And on Disney +, like, all the things you should watch before Doomsday have, like, Kevin Feige. Kevin Feige. Kevin Feige. They have a green, like, glow around them on Disney +. Be like, watch this before Doomsday. This is your assignment. Oh, shit. So, like, I just restarted Loki. Which, I don't know if you watched that or not, but Loki is considered one of the better Marvel TV shows. Loki is one of the best. Loki.

19:22 It's right there. And I'm just re-watching it. Gotta say, not as good the second time. Not as good the second time. What is it about the second time that made it lose its luster? I wonder if it's because I already know what's going to happen. Oh, okay, got it. Unlike, I rewatched WandaVision and I was like, this is still entertaining. Oh, WandaVision's great. Even though I knew it was going to happen, I'm currently watching Vision Quest, which I absolutely love. And people are saying it's one of those top tier ones.

19:50 The wrestling film. The wrestling film? Vision Quest was a 1980s wrestling film.

19:55 Oh, yeah. You got to put it in terms I understand. I think it was like a.

19:59 High school wrestling film. Oh, I love it. Oh, like amateur wrestling. I'll watch it tomorrow. Shout out Paul Bettany, who's also an Arsenal supporter. He's a who supporter? Arsenal supporter. Paul Bettany. Oh, soccer. Or football. Yeah, thank you. Not as good. And you know what else isn't as good? And I know he's shunned now, but I remember watching when Jonathan Majors debuted on that show as who was going to be the original villain of this phase, which was Kang. I can't remember. And he's in Loki season one, and his scene came up again, and I was just like, Kind of whack. Yeah.

20:39 Quite the same whack.

20:40 Doesn't hit the same way. Does not hit the same way. And that breaks my heart because I really like Loki. Yo, this is too many movies, man. I'm looking at the fucking article. It's a lot. X-Men. Because it goes all the way back to like pre-MCU movies. Why do I even need to know that? I know X-Men In-N-Out.

20:56 This is going to be my question. Is the problem that you are now re-encountering it in the context of homework?

21:03 Maybe.

21:03 And you're like, I got to burn through this shit.

21:05 Maybe, but I've been watching some of the other stuff, like Age of Ultron, underrated. I remember watching Age of Ultron.

21:11 Age of Ultron was like, I didn't like it.

21:13 Watched it now. It's pretty fucking good.

21:15 Yeah.

21:15 And it actually really sets up so much of what's coming, like in the movies that we did not give it. Like it was the first intro to Wakanda. It was the first intro to like so much shit. And I was like, oh, this is pretty dope. It was the first intro to like, AI is bad. and like all this other shit that jury's still out jury's still out jury's still out jury's still out but yeah I was like eh Loki ain't and look still good yeah just not not quite there doesn't hit quite as much.

21:48 Anymore that's a bummer I'm all for Wanda You're giving me so much homework here.

21:53 I know. I got to clean my faucet. You got to clean your faucet.

21:55 I got to resurrect that.

21:56 Company to then clean my faucets with their product. No, CLR is still around. You got to start touching your nipples more.

22:03 I got to start touching my nipples more.

22:04 Start some CLR on your nipples.

22:06 I got to do something to subtly draw attention to my nipples. We got some scissors.

22:10 Why don't we just cut some holes out right now?

22:12 Yeah, man.

22:13 Let's go. Yeah, do that, Mean Girls. That's what I'm going to be for next year, Halloween. I'm just going to have my nipples out. Your shirt just look like a Klan hood for nipple eyes. I don't think that's good. Come on out, boy.

22:25 You're like, what's this costume?

22:26 Come on out here, boy. It is funny.

22:29 In the ghost episode, some of the research that we found was that the Klan hood does come from old school ghost costumes. and there were a bunch of different costumes that they were trying out at first, and they would dress up as aliens, they would dress up as ghosts, and they would go and drag.

22:49 You guys were just like trying.

22:52 You were just looking for an excuse.

22:54 I'll call on that for a long time. You were just having gay Halloween. That's so funny. There's like a pretty woman montage. The Grand Wizard is like, no. Do a spin for me. No, I don't like this dress. Try ghost. Too much makeup.

23:11 You're trying too hard. Let's take a quick break and we will be right back. And we're back.

23:29 Pretty Klansmen. Burning down your streets. Mercy. Mercy.

23:41 We are on election day.

23:43 Yeah.

23:43 We don't know what's going to happen. We talked yesterday about the latest polling.

23:48 Yeah.

23:48 Is possibly promising.

23:50 Yeah.

23:50 For Democrats, but we've been here before.

23:52 The people gotta vote, and the people gotta be allowed to vote, and then the people need to be able to count the.

23:57 Votes, and then certify the votes, and then accept that the votes are what they are. So there's a lot of ifs that haven't been there traditionally in the past.

24:05 No, no, no. Today is, like, and not even being hyperbolic, probably the start of what's going to be a very long next couple months. I think, yeah. Step one, vote. Step one, vote. Step two, make sure you have enough supplies for like four days. As we'll get to.

24:26 But a funny story that was popping up a lot yesterday and over the weekend is that.

24:32 Fox News' ratings....

24:35 Are not doing as well as they used to. They're down.

24:39 I did turn off all my TVs.

24:40 That you're going to sleep with?

24:43 You got five TVs on.

24:46 We are in an election year, so usually they're going to have high ratings. Compared to last year, they were down 27% in October.

24:56 Wow.

24:58 With an election year coming up, they're underwater on some promises to some gold advertisers.

25:06 What could it be? Yeah, what could it be? Why would people stop watching?

25:08 It's so funny, man, because, like, everybody, and the mainstream media is just doing this with a straight face, like, we interviewed CEO Lachlan Murdoch, and he blamed viewer fatigue.

25:18 He said.

25:19 Because they're tired of bullshit?

25:21 He said.

25:23 We had an incredible news cycle last year with the inauguration, the Charlie Kirk tragedy, Doge flooding. It was an incredible news cycle last year.

25:33 An incredible news cycle. Like the Texas one that killed those kids?

25:36 Yes. Yes.

25:37 That's wild.

25:38 Imagine using the word incredible twice in a single sentence to reference Doge. Deadly flooding and a guy getting shot in the neck. He's like, I mean, it was fucking gangbusters.

25:49 I mean, ratings were through the roof.

25:51 Through the roof.

25:52 Never seen anything like it.

25:54 Some people have also pointed to the fact that this decline has also coincided with Fox's pro-data center propaganda. And I think these people are getting a little bit closer to the story here. Yeah, right. Because they made a decision conspicuously to send a memo... from the National Republican Senatorial Committee to party insiders and top corporate executives warning that opposition to data centers presented a major challenge to parties' victory in the upcoming U.S. midterm election.

26:27 Yo, come on.

26:28 Written by the fucking people who own the fucking data centers.

26:31 You're not going to win like that. Coverage spinning data centers in a positive light shot up by a staggering 420% across Fox News over the past two months. So memo answered, received.

26:46 Ratings.

26:47 Yeah. No further answer, Your Honor. But like nobody is just being like, well, like. Right. Look, like they've been telling the same lie. Right. About the same guy. And it's become completely evident to everybody also that it's like not.

27:02 It's not true. At this point.

27:04 Yeah.

27:05 I don't know why they're not like their whole thing is trying to manufacture a winning narrative around Trump. And, like, they just can't pull it off anymore.

27:13 Yeah. I mean, the brand is... Obviously, the Trump brand is toxic. The fucking data center concept is fucking toxic.

27:21 Right.

27:21 And then, like, they're a way to try and be like, oh, the only reason, like, you're hearing, like, anything negative is it's far-left activists or China.

27:29 Right.

27:30 And it's like, no.

27:31 Yeah, it doesn't seem to be resonating.

27:33 That's not why. And so now they're just kind of... Now people are fully out. Because, I mean, there's no way to spin.

27:40 your quality of life being visibly fucked up from a data center. There's no rhetorical way to spin that for somebody. Dude, I can fucking hear the humming. I have unpredictable electricity generation or connectivity or whatever, service. There's a myriad of other things, like the jobs that are leaving.

27:59 Anyway. And the cost of everything around it, too. And then, I think the lies for some people And I don't have sympathy for these people because you still voted for this. So, fuck you. But, like, I think the lies are catching up where it's just like, hey, man, look. I'm okay with pretending like you're not lying. But you can't slap me in the face and then tell me you're not.

28:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

28:24 Like, you know, eventually you got to be better. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

28:28 I feel like there's, I always see tweets like this about some drama between a friend group where they're like, tell me why I loaned my friend $ 200. And then we go out to eat. And then they're not paying. And then I see on their Instagram, they're ordering all this food and all this shit. They owe me $ 200.

28:43 And they're like, and it's fucking up our friendship. And they say, I just don't got it right now. I don't got it right now.

28:47 Right. That's what the government is doing. That's what the government is doing. They were like, hey man, I need this. And they go, I don't got it right now. Meanwhile, they're like, hey man, we're going to put billions of dollars into these data centers. Right. And you're like, well, hold on. You fucking got it, but you're putting it towards bullshit.

29:00 And I think that's the Hardest, like they can't just square that with anything because they've done fuck all for people. So they can't even like, they can't even point to like a shred of a.

29:09 Truth to be like, well, I mean, Trump did do this for people.

29:12 If anything, it's like weird, very specific relief for like farmers or things like that, that aren't going to have the same sort of like widespread effects of, you know, anything that was actually sort of meant to deal with people's access to healthcare or housing, whatever.

29:25 Yeah.

29:26 Hard, hard, hard one for them. You know? Hard one for them.

29:29 It did, like, make me feel good. Like, you know, the polls don't make me feel good anymore. Because, like, we've been fucked over by polls too too many times but like seeing that fox news viewership is actually down yeah it's like man this really isn't resonating with these people like they're the people yeah.

29:46 Because they're i think that's other thing too is that channel is meant to just propagandize people like i mean like fucking any mainstream news but like specifically like To get them to believe a specific version of the truth as to why things are the way they are, like inequality, like in terms of income inequality, prices going up. They're never going to say it's corporations being greedy.

30:07 They're going to blame... Ilhan Omar or some shit. And after a while, people are like, bro, that's not fucking wise. That's not wise.

30:13 Like, Ilhan Omar is not so powerful that I can't afford fucking diesel.

30:17 Right. I have a feeling it has something to do with this fucking war. Exactly.

30:20 That you guys don't stop. Maybe that's what it fucking is. Because then all the people, they talk to each other.

30:25 Like, you'll see.

30:27 I've seen it in comment sections that aren't like totally bot sort of dominated comment sections where people are like, I work in like telecoms wiring or like I work in this field. And I heard from another person, a colleague of mine who works in this field of what's going on. And people are starting to put together like, oh, this isn't just because of a boogie person. Like they can point to actual sequence of events that lead to.

30:50 you know, rising costs or lack of materials for other things that people need.

30:54 Everybody's trying to get the information that they can trust. And I think it's just becoming increasingly clear that this is not it.

31:01 This is not it. I do wonder, too, though. Like, yeah, Fox viewership is going down. Apparently, you know, the MSNOWs or the CNNs are going up or where you would expect them to be for midterm election cycle. I do wonder, too, though, because... I can't remember when Elon Musk bought X, but like we're deep in like the Republican media era, right? You know, Republicans own Paramount and Republicans own CNN now. CBS and Twitter and online and everything like that. that I do wonder how much of it is, which is why they're trying.

31:41 We can go anywhere now and get our shit. And, you know, the problem, I don't know if this is the problem with that, but the thing with that that we see is they have entered into all the spaces that were usually safe for us to kind of mobilize and tell people. But, you know, the flip side to that is shit is just so bad. Like, you know, they're fucking themselves over. Because I... I hesitate to say this, but like, I am kind of happy that this administration is so incompetent because if this was a competent administration with all the power and shit that they own, my fucking God, we would be, we would be more than we're already screwed.

32:26 I mean, it's, that's the thing is like, it somehow could be fucking worse than people being shh, executed in the street.

32:32 It's just crazy. You know what I mean? Which is, and then you're like, I don't know. Cause they own everything now.

32:37 Yeah.

32:37 But I think it just shows at the end of the day, they, they only, they don't fully understand how the human, how human emotions work. They just know if we own everything, then we control the message. Not realizing that people can go, well, fuck that, bro.

32:49 I'll go somewhere else. There's internet, there's social media. I have a million other places I can go to hear about shit. I don't need to hear from this. They're working on that. They own most of that already. Yeah. Yeah. Um, All right.

33:01 Let's talk about, as we were saying, things are bad. Things aren't great.

33:07 I've had a great couple years. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same. Same. I just lost everything. You did? In one go.

33:16 But overall, I've actually netted out to gratitude on that whole thing.

33:20 For sure. Yeah.

33:21 But yeah, no, it's, yes, it's precarious times. Like, we're always hearing about something new of, like, Fucking AI could fucking shut everything down.

33:29 Miles. Miles. It's SI. Oh, sorry, super intelligence. Super intelligence. Sports Illustrated, yeah. They're changing it to super intelligence. Trump keeps saying it's no longer artificial. There are some internal policies. No, I think they're changing some policies where it's like, you have to call it SI. Oh, good. Because it's not just that it's super. It's super.

33:51 It's super.

33:53 Artificial is super.

33:54 Disrespectful yeah so yeah that'll save your fucking that's probably the problem i think it was a branding yeah yeah yeah it's not the other things that are just so visible to people about why it's the whole.

34:05 Thing has been a branding exercise that they've like.

34:08 Nailed up yeah well they've like nailed it to a certain extent because everybody was like okay i'm gonna invest money it's just the actual content.

34:16 Sucks yeah yeah well it was the wall street fomo yeah you got just manifested in this.

34:21 Anyway so i just like that they're like it must be the branding that's the problem yeah yeah.

34:25 Right that's the issue come up with something new called santa intelligence maybe they're like that but yeah right now like we hear about cyber attacks all the time climate disasters wars at this point i feel like mutant monsters that have traveled to our dimension through an interdimensional portal or also like on the table in terms of like some kind of threat But like other countries have been telling their citizens over the last couple of weeks to have enough supplies to last around 72 hours without any fucking help.

34:53 So this is from The Guardian. Quote, the United Kingdom's latest Be Ready campaign urges the public to stock up with supplies to last 72 hours. A warning that comes amid growing concern about the impact of the climate crisis, technological dependency and hostile state threats. Sweden also recently published updated guidance for its population in the case of, quote, crisis or war, as did Japan. and countless other nations in like Europe too. So, and they're like, what about.

35:17 Over here, huh?

35:18 Yeah, we know. Hey, we're kind of the cause and locus of a lot of things that they're reacting to.

35:23 What are we doing?

35:25 Not telling us that. The only thing we've heard is from the Pentagon and their own plan to keep the bombs dropping. On September 30th, Pete Hegseth released a memorandum to senior Pentagon leadership establishing Fortress America, an initiative to prepare U.S. military bases to keep operating for at least 90 days without outside support. cool based on what i've already seen on like some of those navy ships when they had no support i don't know how well they're gonna do this one so i know it's one gallon of water per person per day what is it per bomb like.

35:57 How do they have a water.

35:59 Like how much water do you need for the two gallons yeah two gallons yeah well that's good yeah let's say about well you need about 2.7 to 3.7 meters.

36:08 You don't need it fully a gallon.

36:10 As I began to do my doomsday prepping, I'm like, okay, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

36:14 Did you get pulled in by Mountain House? No, what is that? That was like the top sponsored thing on Google is like, mountain house. And they're like, here's what you need. And it's like, uh, tells you the water information. And then right down there. Yeah. And then you need, uh, these meals that you can get from mountain house.

36:33 Oh, you can just buy doomsday shit.

36:34 Yeah.

36:34 You can just buy. Oh yeah.

36:36 Yeah. Yeah.

36:37 A lot of Christian. I got an earthquake kid at the crib. Yeah.

36:40 I have an earthquake quick earth, earth, a kid. I got an earthquake kid. Shout out to Eartha Kitt. Shout out to Eartha Kitt. That was such an old reference. How many people are going to know Eartha Kitt?

36:50 They're going to Google it. But again, so it's like if the Pentagon is gearing up for some kind of disruption, like shouldn't the regular people, but again, it's hard to know considering how depleted disaster preparedness programs and agencies are. Like the quotes that they.

37:08 Were getting from this Guardian article were coming from like nonprofit groups and NGOs that work around it.

37:13 They're like, I mean, yeah, it's probably good to have that level of protection or just supplies because I think this is what really puts it together. This recent attack, cyber attack in Europe, like they fucking ruined millions of euros worth of groceries because someone cyber attacked the fridges and nuked them and put them into defrost mode. Oh shit.

37:34 So the temperature started going up. And then ruined everything in the refrigerators.

37:39 And that was like a cyber attack that happened across Belgium, Luxembourg, some places in Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, Estonia and Finland. And that was, again, a cyber attack where people were just like, watch this. I can fucking ruin your food.

37:53 Yeah. I mean, that is a thing that people say, like the next major war. is going to.

37:59 Be cyber everything. Yeah.

38:01 And they're also saying it's like, there's so many people looking at cyber attacks now. They're saying that the perfect storm is going to be a bad, like a state actor going, once there's a natural disaster, we're going to compound that with another huge cyber attack on a country to be like, oh, we had a natural disaster. Now you have no, like all of your power transmission, like we're going to take over your grid.

38:22 Oh, not my Twitter porn. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no.

38:28 What am I going to do? But that is just also what like private equity does too. They kind of learned that from, learned it from watching you, dad.

38:36 Yeah, right, exactly.

38:38 But I think like that over-reliance on tech Definitely. I see that all the time with this era we're in where there's so many smart things you can get.

38:47 Everything is tech. That I'm like, dude, what just happened to your thermostat being on the wall, being battery powered, and not somebody remotely being like, what if I just cranked the heat up in here? The amount I curse out Alexa is unhealthy. And in this time, I could have just gotten it up and flipped the light on.

39:05 But instead, I'm like, Alexa, turn the light on. Alexa, turn the light on. Alexa, turn the fucking light on.

39:11 I know you hear me.

39:12 I know you hear me. And then she'll turn it on. She's like, by the way. Shut the fuck up, Alexa. By the way. By the way. We should talk about some things. And I'm just like, our reliance on tech is so bad. You can just see the voice. If you have an internet connection, you can get to that shit. And that was the thing that always, when I would read articles, they're like, no, it's very safe. Don't worry about someone hacking your door lock. That's just not going to happen or whatever.

39:45 And cut to these people in Europe, they're like, Our fucking refrigerators are connected to the internet and someone just fucking roasted all the food in them.

39:52 I haven't been blown away with their taking ownership of data leaks and all that shit. So to put all security of these important things in the hands of these private companies who seem like their pastime is doing whatever their business is And then sending out press releases that are like, and by the way, there's been a massive leak and all of your passwords are now, like, have been hacked. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

40:20 It's not giving me the most confidence.

40:22 Well, I'd also just realize, like, we actually had it figured out, like, 25 years ago.

40:28 Yeah, I think we were good. You know what I mean? Didn't need to really escalate on technology, at least in terms of, like, smart bullshit. Yeah.

40:35 Because that just used to be, like, someone's job at a grocery store. Like, the manager would be like, hey, you take refrigerators?

40:39 Yeah.

40:40 Oh, is that when the temperature's going down?

40:41 Rather than being like, well, we've, because all these companies, like, we actually streamlined our operations over the years to centralize things. And now, because of the centralization, you're now deeply vulnerable to attack now because it's all.

40:54 It's like, oh, I can hit all of them at once.

40:55 And that's with everything, too. That's what, like, physical media, like DVDs. We're, like, we don't need streaming. We have DVDs. Just buy your DVD. Also, like, truly everything is, has gotten to a point where clap on, clap off was a thing in the 80s. Yeah. Where you don't have to get up. We were talking about it. You don't have to get up to turn your light up. And it worked. And it worked. Not with Alexa. Not with Alexa. Yeah.

41:17 You know, I got to, my claps worked. But now, you know, they don't. I'm going to have to clap Alexa. But you're right. I've never thought about that. 25 years. I always, I do say this. I, and this was exactly 25 years ago, that I do think the biggest leap in our technological development like world was when the iPod was released. Yeah. Like that, the iPod releasing.

41:40 Yeah. Right.

41:41 Kicked off a domino effect that led to us just having phones in our pocket. Right. Right.

41:46 Everything can be in here.

41:47 Everything can be in here. And it's all, and it's just, it kicked off that everything just at the, at the palm of your hand, the power of the sun. And you'd be like, what do you mean? There's 3000 albums, albums in here. It's like, there's 3000 albums in there. Yeah. And you can also buy them on iTunes. It doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't make sense. I could buy a single song for 99 cents. What? And it's crazy too, because all those shits, I don't own anymore. No.

42:11 Singles I bought on iTunes from like 2003.

42:12 Yeah. Fucking gone.

42:14 I'm like, I have no idea where they are. I mean, I was limewiring most of the shit, but a few of the things I bought. Every now and then you came across an album you couldn't limewire and you're like, all right, you got me.

42:25 I'll buy it. So Steve Jobs was involved in the making of the iPod. That's just a fact that I know. Thank you. But he was also involved in the creation of the Toy Story universe. And we were talking about how he has this like worldview where like objects are sort of like our, were like kind of had to be designed in line with like his like vision for, it was like his religion was kind of like inanimate objects basically. And so I'm just trying to connect the, the idea that we went from like a light switch that you clapped at to a light switch that you talk to now as like, it's all been this movement towards where it's like, man, the light switch does not like being clapped at. It's been waiting to have a

43:15 conversation with you for a long time.

43:18 No more. Yeah, exactly. How does that make you feel?

43:21 Like the thing that we've started to prioritize is the feelings of inanimate objects. ability for inanimate objects to interact with us. Or that we suddenly have.

43:32 An emotion tied to interacting with a fucking light bulb.

43:35 Yeah.

43:35 Yeah.

43:36 Exactly.

43:37 Uh, yeah. Like I remember, I don't know if it still does this, but like I, I probably cursed out Siri once and Siri was like, I'll give you a moment because you're talking to me like, bitch, you're not real. You're not talking to me like that. You're not real.

43:51 You got to switch that voice up to the spicy one. Who the fuck are you talking to like that?

43:55 Who the fuck are you talking to? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I bet people would pay for that one. They're like, you have like a Siri that like, what kind of, Be.

44:03 Mean to me?

44:04 Yeah.

44:05 Be like a mean girlfriend to me?

44:07 Oh, okay. So you don't know how to ask anyone for anything, huh? So you're fucking dumb. No, no, Siri. No. No, no, no.

44:13 I didn't mean it.

44:14 This is great, babe. This feature. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk Mariah. And we're back. We're back. And it is.

44:34 Officially holiday season. You know, all these people who are complaining that Christmas starts earlier and earlier every year and they get their say, somebody needs to be fighting back and being like, you know what? No, we're bringing it earlier. And that somebody is Mariah Carey.

44:51 Mariah. Bless her. Bless her now. Man, she thought out. Whole month of November. That's crazy.

44:57 Whole month of November.

44:59 I mean, this was since 2019 was the first year that she started doing that. Yeah. I mean, I, Yeah. Okay. You know, Mariah, get your money. How much money does she make?

45:09 This is like her thing. Like when people are like seasonal workers, she's like, I don't do shit. But November 1st, I put in two months and then I'm off for 10.

45:20 It is so crazy because Mariah got hits. It's not like a one hit wonder is like this. Mariah got hit.

45:29 Oh, she's doing fine without this.

45:32 And she has completely made this her career. And it's so funny to me. I mean, like, yeah, fan.

45:37 I'm just like thinking of all of these songs. But she's like, I don't know, man. This one just people seem to like this. I think it's the monoculture regression.

45:46 You know what I mean? We yearn for the monoculture and not like because it was so great. But like there was there's something pacifying about remembering when like everything happened on five channels a year. And that like, this thing just felt like we're like, yeah, man, this is, I remember this song. It would come on. I remember being a kid and it's Christmas time. Even though she's now, now we're years, years beyond that.

46:07 But so each year at midnight on Halloween, that to end the Halloween season and begin the Christmas season, she drops a video. They are almost always deranged in one way or another. They usually look, like the Moana live action. Like they're very CGI. They look like these people are not in this space for the most part.

46:30 You had to watch that because you got kids.

46:32 I did not.

46:33 Oh, you did not?

46:35 I watched the You're Welcome song and I was like, well. So we zoom in on a dive bar door. October 31st. Goth Club?

46:47 Oh, Mariah Carey. Singing a punk song. All gossed out.

46:53 Jason Voorhees on the lead guitar. Then she does a stage dive. Turns midnight.

47:00 Oh, there she is.

47:02 She has those whistle tones.

47:03 Wow. Oh, there's an ad. What the fuck was that? I don't know. She sprayed something. It's time. It's time. It's like full commercials that are only produced by her.

47:13 Yes.

47:14 She had a little product placement in there. I liked her punk look. Her punk look was funny. So this is interesting. Her punk look was funny, but you know what? It almost breaks my heart.

47:24 What about it?

47:25 Because there's a lot of Gen Z and younger generations who will see that and not remember or know that at a point, we all were saying Mariah Carey is probably the best voice.

47:37 Yeah, right, right, right, yeah.

47:39 Like, she was like Whitney Houston.

47:40 She had Whitney Houston level, like, hits.

47:43 Yeah, yeah. Well, and her range, too, is unmatched. Like, Mariah Carey was known as, like, one of the best voices in the music industry.

47:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

47:51 And now people would just be like, oh, that girl that just sang the Christmas song?

47:55 The lady who's hawking Brazilian body soap in the ad? That's the thing that it said, hashtag soul de Janeiro.

48:01 Oh, my God.

48:02 Of course. So wild. Add a check on top of a check, Mariah. I'm not mad at it.

48:07 I can't imagine they're thrilled with that product integration. It's just one two-second shot of her spraying it at the camera.

48:13 But you know, dude, you know her business manager was like, that's what you fucking get. Do you even want to be fucking mentioned in this video that's going to get eyeballs? Then she's going to do one fucking spray. For two months, it's going to get mentions. And look, I already said it. There you go. Also, has anybody heard her sing that song recently?

48:31 I think she did it for maybe, yeah, I feel like there was a live performance.

48:35 Was there? She seemed a little like. Yeah, because she don't sound like that no more. No, no, no, no. Just lip sync that. Yeah, she lip syncing that all day.

48:44 But so in this ad, it starts in a like dive bar. She got Jason Voorhees playing lead guitar behind her. And she's giving a punk look and singing this song. And so our writer, JM, went and looked up what this song is.

48:59 It's called.

49:01 It's off of the 1995 album Someone's Ugly Daughter. It's by a band named Chick.

49:07 Okay.

49:08 That album was supposed to be Mariah Carey's alt-rock album. She was going to Chris.

49:14 Gaines our ass.

49:14 In 1995.

49:14 Like four whole years before....

49:20 Garth Brooks dropped a rock album called Chris Gaines where he was like.

49:24 What if I had eyeliner? So was that audio from, that was her, that was actually from that album she recorded?

49:29 That was her singing that. So she tried this shit and her label was like, nope. That's going to stand in the way of like our ability to have year after year. All I want for Christmas videos, it's going to change your image too much. And so she like helped write, produce and did the backing vocals on this, but like brought in a different lead vocalist. Oh, so she basically produced this album? Produced this album that came out in 1995. And nobody knew she had anything to do with it until her memoir came out in 2020, where she was like, yeah, I wanted to release a grunge rock album at the height of 1995.

50:12 That's so fucked up. You're an artist, and then because these fucking label people run your shit, they just went... No. Mm-mm. You're our cash cow in the way that we defined. Yeah.

50:24 And you doing some fucking weird... artistic pursuit is going to fuck our money up.

50:28 Yeah. And I don't even know if it would have. It wouldn't have.

50:31 It probably would have.

50:32 I mean, like, now I'm, like, really interested about what that would have happened with Mariah Carey if she was able to put out this, like, alt-punk album.

50:38 Right.

50:38 Especially at the height of her music career when people are like, the best voice in Hollywood is about to, or music is about to put out a.

50:45 And, like, in a genre that, like, black people didn't see as accessible in any way, to have Mariah Carey do that.

50:51 I certainly would have been like, what the fuck is this? Interesting. Mariah Carey? Go on. In an era where you have to actually sit and listen and live with content too. You just can't listen to it half a time and brush it off.

51:04 Wow. I am locked inside a closet. This is lyrics from the song. I am dripping like a faucet. I am twisted like a sausage.

51:16 That's what I want somebody to do to my nipples. Twist them like sausage.

51:19 Look at that.

51:19 Look at that. Mariah West ahead of her time. What the fuck?

51:24 I'm locked inside a closet.

51:26 Okay. Tripping like a faucet. Twisted like a sausage. And so that means I got a heartbreaker. You got the best.

51:39 But I mean, so this is like, to your point, maybe this is her using this thing that like is her only outlet. Now her biggest platform is, to like communicate with the masses are these like annual videos. And now she's like doing like a bleak metaphor for her career where she like starts in this like punk club like as a grunge musician. And then the clock strikes midnight and like Cinderella, like, and her carriage turning into a pumpkin. She just has to be like whisked back to this prison of Christmas and being on top of a Christmas tree, which by the way, it looks way more dangerous than the grunge club. Like being the, she's on top of a Christmas tree that is conservatively 15,000 feet.

52:25 It's like Burj Khalifa. Yeah, it's Burj Khalifa up there. I mean, I bet you if she really wanted to, she could put out an album now. Well, she did that rap song. Remember she put that like rap video out that all that AI and shit in it. Oh, like recently.

52:39 Yeah.

52:39 We covered it like last year.

52:40 I mean, I think it's like one of those things to artists when like when they're kind of done, like after after their peak, they have a lot of time experimenting.

52:48 Yeah.

52:49 Let him fucking experiment. Let him go. But should have let that fucking punk album come out. That's interesting. I kind of like the song. I wouldn't like a sausage. What'd she say?

52:58 Like she said Schwarzenegger without muscle.

53:00 I am Schwarzenegger with that. That's the part where the metaphor gets a little mixed because she says I'm Travolta with no hustle. I'm Schwarzenegger with no muscle. But then she says something else that it makes it sound like, I don't know. I didn't quite understand the metaphor, but like basically she's having her wings clipped, I guess.

53:19 So you're not cool.

53:20 Yeah. Yeah.

53:21 Um, she, she doesn't know her identity. So that's the bridge. Like the hermit with his puzzle, like the pitbull with no muzzle, like Travolta with no hustle, Schwarzenegger with no muscle. Damn.

53:32 Pitbull with no muzzle would seem to be unleashed. Yeah. Whereas Schwarzenegger with no muscle.

53:38 He's losing something that's very much part of the identity.

53:40 Or maybe it frees him. Maybe that's what she's saying.

53:43 Maybe he doesn't want to be lifting all these damn... Nobody's ever asked Arnold, do you want to be lifting all these weights? I am vinegar and water. I am someone's ugly daughter. I am waiting in the water. I am locked inside a closet. I am dripping like a faucet. I am twisted like a sausage. Antisocial, so hopeful. So unhopeful. Antisocial.

53:57 I am just a broken window. I am feathers from a pillow. I am weeping like a willow. Yeah. And I am like an open blister. I am Jack the Ripper's sister. Okay. Who the fuck was Jack the Ripper's sister?

54:08 She's just saying that's how fucking real she is. That's like a fucking Ghostface bar, like a Rayquan bar.

54:14 And I'm like, Jack the Ripper's sister. And you're like, yeah, I don't know, bro. That sounds cool.

54:19 Uh-huh.

54:19 Does that mean anything?

54:20 No. No.

54:21 No, but it was some hard shit to say. Fuck yeah.

54:25 Fuck yeah, Mariah.

54:26 Okay.

54:27 All right.

54:27 I love it. I love it. Anyway, shout out. Without a muzzle.

54:35 And we do want to bid a fond farewell to Patrick Stewart who passed away.

54:39 We've covered it before.

54:41 It doesn't just seem like it. More famous people are dying because there are more famous people. There are more people of note.

54:49 There are more people of note and you know. We're getting old. Yeah. Those famous people are getting old. 86. 86 years old. 86 years old. Yeah, I guess that's true.

54:57 There's also a bunch of 20 to 30-year-olds who are like, I don't know who that is.

55:00 Yeah.

55:01 I'm sorry to this man. People will know him because Star Trek is too big. And then the Marvel movies. Yeah, Professor X. Yeah, that's true. People will know Patrick Stewart. For sure. We are closer to or over the age he was when he busted into Hollywood. then we are his age now, and that makes me feel great.

55:18 Wow. So many good comedy sketches of him. Obviously, the one that Miles quotes constantly.

55:27 I did say when, I forget who sent the, I think Victor sent it in the chat. Patrick Stewart died and goes, well, at least he saw everything before he died. But it's too late because I've seen everything. There's another really good SNL sketch that I hadn't seen that was very similar premise. where he's a cake maker of romantic or erotic cakes.

55:46 Oh yeah.

55:47 And people keep coming in and he's.

55:49 Like, no, it's just a cake.

55:53 Yes. Yes.

55:54 So funny.

55:54 But this one is chocolate. Somebody with a very clear fetish.

56:00 And I think it's so funny because his persona is so specific that all you have to do is go a couple clicks to the weird direction and go, this is the funniest shit I've ever seen.

56:09 Our greatest pervert. Also a socialist.

56:12 A vowed socialist. Love pets. Just seems like a pretty good ass dude, man. He would do comedy things in LA sometimes. He did a couple shows at UCB or other people's things. He would perform around with uh, the improvised Shakespeare company. Oh, sure. So like he was also, he was a true patron of the arts. Yeah. Right. And, uh, sir, Patrick, we thank him. We thank him for his service.

56:40 Uh, one silver lining is that it allowed a number of people to tell Stephen Miller to go fuck himself because Stephen Miller over the weekend was like one of the most impactful actors in the history of film television and theater because Stephen Miller is a, apparently he claims to be like the world's biggest Star Trek fan who, who, clearly didn't understand a goddamn thing about Star Trek. But, you know, a lot of people pointed out that Patrick Stewart literally hated him, stood against everything he believes in.

57:09 He fucking hated your ass.

57:11 Wilmington replied, keep my captain's name out your fucking Nazi mouth. He despised you and everything you stand for.

57:18 Hell yeah.

57:19 So, God, I wish I'm like, I want to see someone. This is the one time you do a deep fake where it's Patrick Stewart like, hello steven i just wanted to say i hope you get fucked you nazi creep yeah my god it's so funny when like this someone like steven miller his fan like his weird fandom is so contained in this part of his brain that none of the actual content of the thing that he is so into has actually like spilled over how he behaves or.

57:46 How he behaves or or he has this idea that this person who he's like You know, rest in peace, hate you. My God. Crazy.

57:56 Where does that come out? Like, he probably just, like, wakes up and has violent diarrhea or something. Like, where does that come out? Probably in all the mayonnaise he eats, according to his wife.

58:04 He eats a lot of mayonnaise? Yeah, his wife says it's his favorite condiment. That's disgusting. And I like mayonnaise.

58:10 I like mayonnaise, too.

58:10 But, like, a lot of mayonnaise sounds gross. I was saying last week, it's, like, Oreo filling. Mm-hmm.

58:16 It's like, man, it's like, I like it, but you get to a certain too much of it. I'm like, couple clicks over, couple click over.

58:22 Give me the mega stuff. Oh, mega.

58:24 Yeah.

58:26 Okay.

58:26 I can't go lower than double. Double stuffed is. You can't go lower than double stuffed? That's the lowest. The regular Oreo. Get out of my face.

58:33 Wow.

58:34 Get up out of here. Okay. I have some Oreos I got to bring for you that I can't eat. The mega stuff? No, just the loaded ones. Yeah. Give me, bring them, man. Bring them. And my kid ate them too. He was like, why is he?

58:44 Cause he bit down and like, you know, he made the face.

58:47 No, you know how like the cookies like this and you bite and then the sandwich goes up the back.

58:50 Like shoots cream.

58:52 Out the back. He was like, the fuck is this? Damn man, take a kid to get his mouth in order. Take a kid to get his mouth in order. Get your shit right, bro. Get your shit right, man.

58:59 It's a man's sport.

59:00 Let me see that. Give me that. I can eat that whole cookie in one rip.

59:04 You're like, you're right. There's a lot of filling in here. Filling's coming out of your nose.

59:09 Yeah. Actually, Jesus Christ. Chiqui, such a pleasure having you on the show. Always, always love y'all. Happy election day to everybody. I hope we get all the results we want. Hope you get everything you want. Hope you get everything you want. Yeah. I do. We'll see. In California, maybe not. I'm not feeling too good about California. Not the billionaire tax.

59:36 I just don't like the way it's written.

59:38 I just think it's not the right time.

59:41 They spend so much money on it. If you are in California... Please text your friends and family who have not voted today or voted yet, early voting, and let them know that all these ads they're seeing about the vote no on 40 are bullshit. And ask them who's funding it and why. Yeah, exactly. And that should tell you everything. I had to put, like, one of the parents I was with on... halloween i had to put them on the game a little bit really when they're.

1:00:07 Like because they're like you know you talk about public what do you think about this billionaire thing i'm like i say fucking go for it yeah they're like yeah but it could be like i'm like dude no they're lying i'm like i know that probably the thing that we want is actually a progressive tax system sure and not a one-time hit to their wealth however i philosophically i am always for making billionaire sweat and making billionaires pay something.

1:00:29 Up to the greater good on some level. So I'm not worried about the attacks or they're.

1:00:34 Like, well, it could come from you.

1:00:35 I'm like, no, it's not. Also, I don't get that. Like, oh, it's just a one time. We want a long-term fix. Nigga, if somebody offered to give me a million dollars right now, sure, I want a million dollars every month. Right. But run me my money right now. That sounds good. That sounds great. Because then I'd be like, oh, you got a plan for this progressive tax system then? Yeah. Is that about to be changed in the state constitution or something? They're like, oh, well, no.

1:00:56 Then shut the fuck up.

1:00:57 The billionaire said they're going to work on it.

1:01:00 Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:01:01 So I think we're good.

1:01:01 That's like when the police investigate themselves.

1:01:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:01:03 I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah. That'll render some results. So yes. No, I don't know if y'all can do endorsements because y'all work here, but I don't. Yes, I'm 40. No, I'm 41. This ain't a real show. This ain't a fucking radio. I don't know. I don't know. You know, maybe. Where can people find you? Follow you. Oh, man, you can find me in these streets. Shout out to, you know, I've been touring a lot this year. Shout out to all the Zeit gang that's come out to the shows. I had a, where was I? Either Vancouver or Portland. I can't remember. But an old, old, old black man came to the show. And he was buying some merch. And I was talking to somebody else. He was dealing with the other person selling them the merch.

1:01:47 And then when I finished with them, I shifted over to him. And he was like, what up, nigga? And it took me by surprise because I'm around a bunch of white people at this point. And I'm like, oh, shit. He's like, I was like, oh, my nigga.

1:02:03 I love that.

1:02:04 I loved it. So shout out, shout out. You can also find me at Jackie Sneal on Instagram. Instagram, and that's pretty much all I'm on. Don't look for me on threads, man. Leave me alone on threads. Okay. You know, I'd be... You getting spicy on there? I be getting spicy on there. And I'm tired of threads and putting our business out in the street. Sometimes I want to be spicy in private. Yeah, yeah. I want to cuss people out in private. Well, now you're big, bro. You don't have that luxury anymore. I know, but you know, it's slow. I only got like 3,000 on threads for that reason because I'm not promoting it.

1:02:34 You're rejecting followers.

1:02:35 I be rejecting shit. You're like, no, this is how I get messy.

1:02:39 You like to be spicy in private on Twitter in a different way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:02:44 Yeah.

1:04:18 Thanksgiving needs a rebrand. Thanksgiving needs a rebrand because you know why? I know it's holiday season now, but Thanksgiving can be the fall holiday. It's food, pump, really true pumpkins, the turning of the leaves, it's cuffing season. Yep. We just got to give it another name. We got to give it another name. It just can't be called Thanksgiving anymore.

1:04:35 It can't be called Thanksgiving anymore.

1:04:36 Because we're not going to do the thing where it's like, and we're so lucky that we genocided the people that we could.

1:04:41 Live here now. Yeah, that's what it is. We need a rebranding. Look at his bounty. Or just be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. First you be like, first you got to acknowledge what the fuck this shit is about. And now- Let's enjoy some beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes, chickens, tigers.
