Hello, the internet and welcome to season

3:30

343 episode four of

3:33

Der Daily's IKC. Production

3:35

of I Heart Radio. This is a

3:37

podcast where we take a deep dive

3:39

into America's shared consciousness and it is

3:41

Friday, June 21st, 2024. Yeah,

3:45

yeah. Of course. Guess

3:47

what? It's national day of the gong. Bang

3:49

a gong. Is that a or bang a

3:52

kong? Get it on. Is it gong? Bang

3:54

a gong. Yeah, bang a gong. I

3:57

think that's it. It's also national smoothie

3:59

day. It's national Arizona day. It's national

4:01

take your dog. workday, national selfie day,

4:03

go skateboarding day, national daylight appreciation day,

4:05

and guess what? For all the people

4:07

who like real fine cuts of beef,

4:09

it's also national wagyu day. Wagyu?

4:11

Yeah, yeah. Don't go ride

4:13

a skateboard if you're over

4:15

the age of, I don't

4:18

know, let's say 30. Unless

4:20

you like already ride a skateboard, in which case

4:22

you probably don't need a special day to tell

4:24

you, but I just meet, like

4:27

I'm not a skateboard guy unless I'm

4:29

trying to get the latest dope from

4:31

the kids at the high school and

4:33

turn my hat around backwards. But

4:35

I just like meet a lot

4:37

of middle-aged people who are

4:40

like, I broke my ankle, tried

4:42

skateboarding with my kid or something

4:44

like that. It feels like a

4:46

very common way to hike

4:48

your ankle. I think though too, because if

4:51

you skated when you were younger, it's easier to trick

4:53

yourself and be like, yeah, dude, give me that fucking

4:55

board. And you get on it and you're like, wait.

4:57

You want to see some sick moves? My center of

4:59

gravity is completely different than when I was 13. My

5:02

ankle tendons are made of spider web now.

5:05

So this should make me more flexible. They're made

5:07

of like, you know when rubber bands get really

5:09

old and you stretch them out, actually the cracks

5:11

on them, that's what my tendons are for. You

5:14

can like actually hear the rubber

5:16

bands crackling. You know when you put an

5:18

old pair of underwear on, you're like, oh,

5:20

that elastic just went. That's my tendons. Yeah.

5:22

Let me just stretch out here. You hear

5:24

that crackle? That means I'm ready. That

5:27

means I'm going to be good at this. All

5:30

right. My name is

5:32

Jack O'Brien, AKA raccoons

5:34

as monsters. That

5:37

is courtesy of Zach Van

5:39

Goghs, another van on

5:41

this, on this special van full show.

5:43

That is in reference to the fact

5:46

that I think raccoons are terrifying monsters

5:48

and we should acknowledge it.

5:50

They will fuck you up if

5:52

you are a crow. I'm thrilled

5:55

to be joined as always by

5:57

yeah, love a bit of, what

6:31

is that? STP, we call that? STP,

6:33

baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, create. It

6:37

was like that everybody came out with the

6:39

same voice at the same time. Yeah, but this

6:41

was more heroin. Yeah, that one was

6:43

heroin. He was on a little more heroin. The

6:46

real deal. Miles,

6:49

we are thrilled to be joined in

6:52

our third seat by one of our favorite guests.

6:54

One of the funniest standups doing it. You

6:56

know him from Bob's Burgers, the NFL

6:59

Network. You can hear him every week

7:01

co-hosting the hip podcast, Dumb People Town

7:03

with the Squar Brothers. His new special

7:05

is Rose Gold. It's available on YouTube

7:07

right now. You better go listen to

7:10

it. Please welcome the hilarious, the talented

7:12

Daniel Van Kieer. Hey,

7:17

boys. Good to

7:19

see you. Good to see you, man. Since

7:21

I think last time you were on, you were

7:23

giving us dispatches from the airport, I think. You

7:26

got stuck in the airport. If

7:28

you guys let me freelance for you, the

7:30

amount of times I would do from

7:33

the front lines where the lines are

7:35

just very easy to step over. Like,

7:38

yeah. Yeah, just everyday front lines

7:40

of me talking to people while

7:43

I'm traveling, I would submit to

7:45

you whenever you wanted, even if

7:47

you didn't use it. Yeah.

7:50

Okay, all right. Just for our personal clients.

7:52

Oh, so much fun. That was so fun.

7:54

Yeah, that was what the story that day

7:56

was about. Like, Chex Mix prices fluctuating across

7:59

the country. country in

8:01

airports and you gave us some firsthand

8:03

accounts. Yeah. Also spoke to

8:06

some people. You also talked to, you

8:08

talked to a pilot who

8:11

sounded like very zanned out. Like

8:13

he had eaten a couple, he

8:16

was taking a trip to Zanzibar. And

8:19

I was worried for your safety. I

8:21

don't know if you guys see flight.

8:23

I don't know if we even used

8:25

that. Yeah, yeah. Have you seen flight?

8:28

You want your pilot low keyed out

8:30

on substances. I want my

8:32

pilot low key, but cocky. I

8:36

want him to walk into the room, tossing

8:39

an apple up and just calling

8:41

me a nickname. Yeah,

8:44

yeah, hitting off his elbow, grabbing

8:46

it. Low key, unflappable, but I

8:48

don't want him to sound like

8:52

medically induced comatose. Yes,

8:56

yes. Which is why I'm saying, that's

8:58

why I'm saying flight. Cause Denzel was

9:00

drunk, but he's still Denzel. Got

9:02

it. He's like, I'm going to roll it.

9:04

He was a happy drunk. Yeah, yeah. No, he was

9:07

cool. He was cool.

9:09

And he was a good pilot. That's

9:11

the damn thing about that movie is fuck.

9:13

I wouldn't mind having that guy. Generally not

9:15

for drunk people flying the plane that I'm

9:18

in. How many, I mean, I know it

9:20

sort of imitates real life because you always

9:22

hear about how like, you know, pilots fucking

9:24

party, but do you think that gave some

9:26

pilots like an example to kind of stop

9:28

doing drugs and shit to be like, bro,

9:31

what about Denzel, man? The

9:33

FAA saw an uptick in like applications to be

9:35

a pilot after the movie flight came out. They

9:37

should have just been like, shut it all down,

9:39

man. We've got, we've got a problem here. What'd

9:41

you do? I mean, I used

9:44

to work on wall street, man, but I'm

9:46

used to fucking flying, dude. I've already got

9:48

a substance abuse problem. I just don't fly.

9:50

Yeah. You train me

9:52

up. I am a PlayStation. I'm the

9:54

tip of the spear here, baby. The opposite of

9:57

the Top Gun Effect. Yeah, exactly.

9:59

Wait, what was the top gun effect?

10:01

Oh my gosh, just the uptick in

10:04

people who joined. Oh, applications? Yeah. Right.

10:06

And that was a good thing for the

10:09

Air Force, where we're saying this would presumably

10:11

be bad for, maybe that's

10:13

what's going on. Boeing should put that

10:15

out, that what happened is

10:17

just an upswing in fucked

10:19

up pilots. The pilots are fucked up. That's

10:21

why the door blew off the fuselage. I'd

10:24

like them to. Because the pilots are.

10:27

Honestly, somehow would be some shit that

10:29

would be said. Yeah. All right. Daniel,

10:32

we are going to get to know you

10:34

a little bit better in a moment. First,

10:36

a couple of things we're talking

10:38

about today, we're going to talk about some

10:40

poles, some polling that might make you feel

10:43

good, some polling that might make you feel

10:45

bad. Yeah, we can't

10:48

get too excited. No, that's right. We don't

10:50

know. Just leave the poles there. Yeah. Leave

10:52

the poles there, but we will talk about

10:54

them. We will look at them and tell

10:56

you what we see while leaving them there.

10:58

We'll talk about RFK Jr. He has not

11:00

qualified for the CNN debate. He's

11:03

like mathematically eliminated

11:05

from the election already

11:08

based on this, right? I mean

11:10

mathematically. And

11:14

that is his response to any

11:16

scientific argument. Sure. Sure.

11:19

Mathematically. We'll

11:22

talk about a bullshit map. It

11:24

purports to tell you the top

11:26

states for conspiracy theorists. What it

11:28

really tells you seems to be

11:31

where people who go to a

11:33

betting website think that

11:35

most conspiracy theorists are. It's

11:37

very strange. Journalism is dead.

11:40

This is like a new version of

11:42

the, what is it, 38 days from, what

11:47

was the Memorial

11:49

Day? Oh, Star Jack, don't

11:51

fuck it. Sorry, I shouldn't have done it.

11:54

Because now I'm going to have to read it to

11:56

fucking Daniel. Yeah. Anyways, this is

11:58

like a new version. version of that,

12:00

the polling version of that. We'll talk

12:02

about that. We'll talk about, uh, Grimace

12:04

has some juice. Six

12:07

point eight weeks. I'm

12:09

sorry about that. And

12:11

people who listen, but like not every day don't,

12:13

might not know what the fuck we're talking about,

12:16

but. And that's okay because I don't even know

12:18

what I'm talking about half the time. But yes.

12:21

The AI and the internet has

12:23

broken journalism is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

12:25

There's this nonsensical things being written.

12:27

And I think it's because

12:29

we're in this like liminal space where we're

12:32

like it's things are probably may go like

12:34

70% AI that I'm

12:36

still kind of getting used to. What AI

12:39

writing is. And I need to get used

12:41

to it quick. All of that plenty more.

12:43

But first Daniel Van Kirk, we do like

12:45

to ask our guests, what is

12:48

something from your search history that's

12:50

revealing about who you are? PJ

12:53

Byrne demolition, man. Okay.

12:57

Go on now. PJ Byrne. If you're

12:59

unfamiliar, first of all, you're not unfamiliar.

13:02

One of the like ultimate, I think

13:04

I know this person from movies ever.

13:06

He has like over a hundred credits.

13:09

Been working forever. He's, uh, if you

13:11

watched Babylon, starring my pen

13:13

pal's co-host, Roy Scoville, you watch Babylon. He

13:15

plays the assistant when they're trying to like,

13:18

they've just started introducing sound into

13:21

making movies and he loses his

13:23

mind. It's a, it is an

13:25

award worthy performance. Oh yeah.

13:27

Yeah. But he has been in things forever. He's in

13:29

the boys. He's on the show, the

13:31

boys. Yep. So I was up

13:34

in my cabin in Wisconsin watching a VHS

13:36

of demolition, man. And

13:40

I swear to God, that's PJ. Now I could

13:42

find this out. I can have Rory text him,

13:45

but he's not credited. I just don't.

13:47

And I know that that's like mid nineties, which would

13:49

be a long time ago. Yeah, that would be a

13:51

long time ago. Maybe he's, maybe

13:53

he's 18, maybe he's 20. It looks

13:56

just like him. So I tried to Google and

13:58

find out if it is PJ Byrne. It is

14:00

I think it's when Wesley

14:04

Snipes says teddy bears or whatever

14:06

and like that's the code to

14:08

get out of the handcuffs when

14:11

he's up for cryo-pearl Oh, okay,

14:13

and then they're like freaking out

14:15

and then they think they've saw like they think oh

14:17

we we've stopped his car We everything's

14:20

fixed. I think you see PJ then in that

14:22

whole sequence of we haven't had a murder

14:24

in 40 years It's

14:26

actually a murder death kill. Yeah, but yeah.

14:28

Yes. Yeah Wow Okay, now I'm gonna watch

14:30

now I want to know so it's a

14:32

peek into why and where

14:34

and what created that search

14:36

in my history If you what yeah, just something

14:39

you keep just you know You don't really share

14:41

there was like, you know, I had an uncredited

14:43

role in demolition man, but you know, right I

14:45

don't want to get people off fucking losing their

14:47

shit. Yeah, I'd be unable to keep that one

14:49

under my hat You

14:56

mean demolition man co-starring me Yeah

15:01

me and Sandy B. Yeah, what's that old

15:03

Taco Bell cup you have all this it's

15:05

a promo from the 90s

15:07

film demolition Man, here's your beam leaking.

15:09

It's mostly disintegrated. Yeah, let's paper I

15:12

mean, I guess they don't really last

15:14

more than like maybe a month. Did

15:16

you guys know or do you remember

15:18

that comic-con? I don't know. It could have been 2017 could

15:20

have been 2019. I don't know but they they

15:25

Made the demolition man Taco Bell

15:28

like it was like a pop-up demolition

15:30

man Taco Bell Yeah,

15:32

it was wonderful Yeah,

15:36

but it's still Taco Bell You

15:39

know, they they didn't go full like yeah,

15:42

because the one in the movie is like a

15:44

Michelin restaurant Playing

15:46

piano. Yeah Yes

15:50

Yeah, that was wild. What a film. Mm-hmm

15:52

agreed Yeah, we're going back

15:54

and watching as miles is pointed out a

15:57

couple times the director of demolition man is

16:00

Marco Bambia. Yeah, like a

16:02

very famous artist. Visual

16:04

artist. Visual artist who you

16:07

see in the

16:09

most famous museums. And he

16:12

directed exactly one Hollywood movie

16:15

and was like, well, I hate

16:17

this, but here's demolition. Love art.

16:19

And then I'm going to go

16:21

back to making actual art. And

16:23

you kind of get that going back and watching

16:25

it. At the time, I think we all were

16:28

just sold. We were like, this

16:30

is like the Stallone version of

16:32

Last Action Hero or something, which I know a

16:34

lot of people still ride for Last Action Hero.

16:36

But oh, do they? Yeah, they do. And I

16:38

did. I did not like

16:40

it when I saw it. It freaked me out.

16:42

The main dude with the axe who had like

16:44

the grimy teeth and like the yellow rain slicker.

16:47

Yeah, always freaked me out. Well, and that was

16:49

it was supposed to be like satirizing

16:51

action movies. But that's not a

16:53

bad guy from an action movie.

16:55

Like an axe wielding. Yeah. Or

16:58

a movie. Yeah. I just feel like they didn't

17:00

know. Made a reference

17:02

to like another movie like some of the

17:04

other characters were. Yeah, I just like what

17:06

he's like that salary from Amadeus. That's

17:10

right. I just wish they

17:12

had made more Amadeus references. This is

17:15

my main note. What what's something

17:17

you think is underrated Daniel? You know, I'm going

17:19

to go. I had to I don't see both.

17:21

I'm going to go with the refrigerator sandwiches. Okay.

17:24

Now, I mean, oh, like something that's in a refrigerated

17:26

case. Well, yes, sort of.

17:30

That is that is a version

17:32

one. I

17:34

have a sandwich that I like to travel with because it

17:36

holds up well. It's from Jersey Mike's.

17:38

It's the like club, the

17:40

like turkey, ham and bacon.

17:44

But you just you get it with Swiss cheese

17:46

and mayo. You don't you can't

17:48

have any produce on it because you might have to buy this

17:50

the day before you fly out like the night before and then

17:53

you're taking it the next day. I

17:55

realized recently I like that sandwich

17:57

better in that version because something

17:59

about. refrigerating it and since

18:01

you don't have tomatoes and lettuce and all that stuff,

18:03

it holds up well and it actually makes the sandwich

18:06

better than when I eat it directly

18:08

from the store or at the store.

18:10

So you're saying we're not going Mike's

18:12

way. There's no juices. You can't handle

18:14

that if it's an airplane sandwich. Just

18:18

taking a Mike's, Jersey Mike's Mike's way, if

18:21

you take it home from the store, the half

18:23

the sandwich is already just a fucking, the bread

18:25

is goo. Yeah, you got a fork and knife

18:27

situation. Dunk that in a duck. Which is why

18:29

I eat it in the car, okay, while I

18:32

drive. But then it also got

18:34

me thinking, I

18:36

think a peanut, you can always make

18:38

toast and do a peanut butter and

18:40

jelly sandwich. But the inverse

18:42

of that is a peanut

18:44

butter and jelly sandwich out of the refrigerator, which does

18:46

happen a lot again at airports. I travel a lot.

18:49

So I do enjoy a slightly

18:52

chilled refrigerated. PB and Jet.

18:54

PB and Jet. Yeah. I

18:56

think it is a good aesthetic. I

18:58

love the toast version as well. I can't push against that. I

19:01

have a very specific PB and Jet. This is

19:03

the one that my dad made my lunches as

19:05

a kid. And he, so

19:09

I have a preference for

19:12

slightly smashed peanut butter

19:15

sandwiches that have been refrigerated

19:17

overnight. Yes. And he

19:19

would put the peanut butter on both sides of

19:21

the bread and then a big clop of jelly

19:24

in the middle. There's just

19:26

like something about that combo.

19:29

I'm sure it's just that I had

19:31

it one in my childhood. Yeah, you're eating nostalgia. Yeah.

19:34

Yeah. It was the manifestation of

19:36

a father's love. Yeah, exactly. But I think that

19:38

made it. And then now I

19:40

gotta give it a good fucking punch after I make mine.

19:44

I'm gonna ask

19:46

the sandwich if it's proud of me. Yeah.

19:52

Dad, the bread soggy again. What happened?

19:55

I don't know. Something's up

19:57

in there. Yeah. Oh yeah.

20:00

When I travel, there's a spot in

20:02

Pasadena that does this Italian sandwich where

20:04

they only make one sandwich and you

20:07

can't order it anyway. They just have

20:09

a pile of them and you grab

20:11

them and they're perfect because it's just

20:13

cheese, a little olive oil, and then

20:15

different Italian meats. And that

20:17

shit, you can put in your pocket and

20:19

fucking run a marathon. It's good. It's

20:22

fantastic. The Italian is my favorite, just

20:24

grabbing a stashed sandwich for some reason.

20:27

I'll take it with a little bit of wetness if

20:29

the bread is right. If

20:32

the bread is not going to

20:34

just dissolve. If the bread abides,

20:36

dude. Exactly, man.

20:39

But yeah, refrigerator sandwiches, the

20:42

best. They make

20:44

America runs on refrigerated sandwiches. It

20:47

does. What's something

20:49

you think is overrated? The VIP area.

20:52

Oh, okay. I think. Tell them how you live.

20:55

Tell them how you live, DVK. How many

20:57

times, because we've been to this, you've been to a thing

20:59

like, oh, we have this area for you. You guys should

21:01

be over there. And you'll be

21:03

at a club or a

21:05

bar or whatever. And as a person who

21:08

I don't frequent the VIP area, I'm not

21:10

of the Lev, but

21:14

oftentimes people in the VIP area, they're

21:16

like, if you want to get in and

21:18

be a part of the party and have fun, you

21:20

have to go out into gen pop.

21:24

Right. Yeah. It's like

21:26

people pay these tables or do these bottle

21:28

service just to like stand there and

21:30

not really be a part of the party. Yeah.

21:33

But if you do decide if they're like, what have

21:35

you this for? Let's be a part of the party.

21:37

Well, then you realize you didn't need the VIP area.

21:40

No. What you wanted was a place

21:42

to sit. Which

21:44

I can understand. But oftentimes

21:47

if I need to get out just sitting

21:49

somewhere in these lights and or a lot

21:51

of music is I will want to have

21:53

stepped outside for a minute anyway. Right. Right.

21:57

Right. And that's the greatest VIP area

21:59

of all outside. The out of doors. God's

22:03

VIP area. Yeah. Nature.

22:05

Yeah. Gaia nailed

22:07

it. Yeah. That's right. No. Yeah. The VIPs.

22:10

I mean, because it's, it's, it's wild how

22:12

different like when back when, back when I

22:14

was going to clubs in the early aughts,

22:17

the shit was, there was maybe only a

22:19

couple VIP tables and

22:21

it was mostly still a, like a

22:24

place you got fucking gnarly, sweaty, dancing

22:26

and shit, and then you left. And

22:29

it's interesting to see how over time, like

22:31

the flex culture has taken over even the

22:33

like spaces that were just meant to get

22:36

like sweaty and dancing, where it's like, now

22:38

it's like 40% fucking tables or 50% tables

22:40

and no one dances and it's just to

22:42

be seen. And that's like where I feel

22:44

like so old. I'm like, damn, like, I

22:47

think about this too, like in Vegas,

22:49

right? If you're living that VIP life,

22:52

you probably, like when

22:54

I go to Vegas, I'm there to

22:56

sort of run them up with the

22:58

peasants. We're all peasants running around. Freak

23:00

out. Yeah. So like, I want to

23:02

go to the pool at the flamingo

23:04

and just people watch while drinking my

23:07

Miami. Yeah, just pee. In

23:09

the flamingo pool. Just take a long pee

23:11

while making eye contact with somebody. Yeah, and

23:13

then I pee in the sphere. No,

23:16

but if you're like VIP lifestyle, you're like, oh,

23:18

we got a room and it has its own

23:20

pool. Well, that's going to be the most boring

23:23

pool in Vegas. Right. Yeah, exactly.

23:25

So what's up, Eric? Yeah,

23:27

hey, hey, guy. I

23:29

work with who I flew here with. And

23:34

now it's just me and him in this pool in this room. We

23:36

pay for it. I

23:38

got a PB and J over there in the

23:41

fridge. Rattle in the fridge. It's

23:44

in fridge actually. So it's still pretty good. But

23:46

like you get a great room. They're like, the room

23:48

has its own pool. And I'm like, yeah, but I'm

23:51

in Vegas. This isn't the pool I want to be

23:53

at. Yeah, right. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I want to

23:55

be in the pool that gives me syphilis. Yes. Yeah.

23:57

I give it right back. Right. I

24:00

want someone to say, you didn't open your eyes

24:02

underwater there, did you? And

24:05

then you go, why? What's wrong? You go, oh, oh,

24:08

shit. I can already see it. Yeah. Yeah.

24:12

No, I 100% agree. I don't really

24:14

do VIP areas. The times, the very few

24:16

times that I've encountered, I feel like there

24:19

are two types of VIP areas. They're the

24:21

ones that are like kind of off to

24:23

the back. And then they're the ones

24:25

that are like in the center of everything. Right.

24:28

To be like the look at

24:31

me VIP area. That feels like

24:33

so desperate and thirsty to be in

24:36

that area. Like that's embarrassing

24:38

to be in a VIP area. That's

24:40

like in the middle of the whole

24:42

thing. Yeah. Yeah. Like what the fuck

24:44

are we doing? Can I side question

24:46

you guys really quick? Yeah. Have you

24:48

seen any like lately in your life

24:50

or just on the internet, like

24:52

when they do bottle service at a club? Yes. Like

24:56

what they're writing on the signs as they walk

24:58

out, like holding, you know, sometimes it just says

25:00

like happy birthday. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. But I've seen

25:02

recently where they're so like

25:06

left field and hilarious. Like they're walking out

25:08

and the sign says, she's not going to

25:10

text you back. They're walking out and the

25:12

sign says, it's just paper. Right.

25:14

There's like, they're, they're, they've become

25:16

like meme boards, right? They're

25:19

hilarious. And I always wonder, does the club

25:21

do that? Or is that what the person

25:23

requested when they ordered the bottle? Cause I

25:25

don't know. I've no idea how this works.

25:27

I would. I'm going to pay you a

25:29

thousand dollars for a single bottle of booze.

25:32

Could you roast me while you bring it

25:34

out to me? Absolutely rinse

25:36

me in front of all these people. I'm

25:38

so desperate to impress. I'm sorry. That would

25:40

be cool. So the smear not

25:42

is a thousand dollars for a 750 mil.

25:45

Yeah. Okay. I guess

25:47

I'll take that. Then that's the

25:49

cheapest one. Yes. Do

25:51

we get orange juice with that? For a hundred

25:53

bucks. That's 78 bucks. Yeah. I was in Japan

25:55

recently for a friend's wedding. And at the, at

25:57

the end of their wedding, like. It was very

26:00

low key, like a just super chill wedding. Like

26:02

it wasn't a huge affair. And afterwards the bride

26:04

and groom were like, we kind of want to

26:06

go dancing. So like me

26:08

and a few of our other friends, we like, we

26:10

didn't get them a gift. Cause they're like, you guys

26:12

traveled all the way here. Please don't get us gifts.

26:14

But we're like old and we went to a club

26:16

and we're like, I kind of need to sit down,

26:18

dude. Like I'm not young enough to want to be

26:21

up in it right now. Like I'd rather just sit

26:23

off to the side. Luckily bottles in like Japan were

26:25

not expensive. So like between the six of us, we're

26:27

like, all right, if we all put in like 80

26:29

bucks, like we can all sit down and we did

26:31

that. And the

26:33

funny part was they go, Oh, where are you

26:35

guys from America? So when the bottle came out,

26:38

they had like sparklers and they were just waving

26:40

American flags and shit. And I was

26:42

like, no, no, no, no, no, we don't got

26:44

to do all that. But then like the people

26:46

next to us are like Australia. Then they brought

26:48

an Australian flag out and they're like making it

26:50

rain napkins and shit. Like it was just very,

26:53

then the sparklers. And at that point I was like, see, this

26:55

is why I'm, I'm the only way I

26:57

can drink. Any

26:59

liquid as if it has a sparkler and an

27:02

American flag in it. Got to have always been

27:04

that way. Yeah. It's the only

27:06

way I can wet my whistle. That's how your

27:08

dad made your lunch. That's exactly it goes, go

27:10

back to my childhood. All

27:12

right, let's, let's

27:14

30:06

we're back. We're back. And

30:11

so we're mainly talking about this because the

30:13

news is talking about this and this is

30:15

a show that charts the zeitgeist. Everybody

30:18

from this point forward will

30:20

be periodically freaking out about

30:22

some polls. Yeah. And

30:25

we have seen Trump's first

30:28

slip in the polls. Yeah. He's

30:31

been in the lead for

30:34

the entirety of this

30:36

year. Yeah. This year,

30:38

basically. Yeah. So what does this mean?

30:41

Miles, we're going to go to Miles, our resident

30:43

poll watcher. Miles, we'll go to the board. So

30:46

I wasted a few years of my

30:48

life doing this electoral politics shit. Realize

30:50

I just wanted to make fun of

30:52

you on YouTube. But I'm

30:54

back at the board. And yeah,

30:56

like we said, Trump has pretty healthy. I

30:59

mean, like by the margin of error led

31:02

Biden and at times up to five points. But

31:05

Biden hasn't led Trump in the Fox News

31:07

poll since October of last year. And that

31:10

was until this week when the latest edition

31:12

of the results came out that he was

31:14

ahead two points in March. Trump was ahead

31:16

five points. So like it's been sort of

31:18

on a downward trend in the Fox News

31:20

poll. Obviously, like we're saying, these

31:22

aren't any indication of what's going to happen.

31:24

It's merely just like what's happening with this

31:26

group of like maybe 1500 people paid in

31:30

there. You know, how those

31:32

34 felonies playing right now with

31:34

people who answer polls. This was

31:37

the first poll since the 34

31:39

felony convictions. And so some

31:41

people were like, Oh, look, the felonies

31:43

Fox News are like, ah, it's probably

31:45

that like Biden is getting

31:47

credit for the economy. And

31:49

also because he was mean to immigrants

31:51

about, you know, like prohibiting asylum seekers

31:53

from entering. That's maybe helping

31:55

him out. And maybe that's

31:57

true. But I think it's probably

31:59

just I think it's more about

32:02

Trump excitement waning than Biden excitement

32:04

increasing. Because at the end of

32:06

the day, the people who are going to show up for Trump are going to

32:08

show up either way. But I think it's

32:10

maybe because some independence may have been like,

32:12

oh, well, 34 felonies isn't

32:14

great because now Biden actually has a nine

32:16

point swing in his direction with independence if

32:18

you compare it to May. I think that's

32:20

where you see maybe the felonies pointing out.

32:24

But yeah, again, when it comes to Trump,

32:26

people are still going to the rallies, people

32:28

are still handing over their money to him.

32:30

So from that standpoint, it seems like things

32:32

are moving pretty closely. And again, this

32:35

has been so the polls have been so

32:37

fucking close. There's nothing that it really indicate

32:40

that either person can run away with it.

32:42

It's going to be very close. And if

32:44

anything, I think, you know, from from all

32:46

we're seeing, there's just there's a

32:48

little bit more energy being put into the GOP

32:51

candidate at the moment, whether it's like the

32:53

actual money going in or maybe just the

32:55

amount of the way they're priming the base

32:58

to reject anything but a Trump victory, because

33:00

that is already like they are there. They

33:02

got those batteries fully charged. I mean, I

33:04

don't know. We'll see what happens. I mean,

33:06

if Trump loses, obviously, something's going to have

33:09

something happen. Right. And who knows?

33:11

I mean, that's when all likelihood he might just

33:14

win outright without any fuckery. So

33:16

it's a bit alarming. But

33:19

either way, probably, I would say, but we're probably

33:21

in for another like five

33:23

day election day. We

33:26

were 20. Yeah, it's so

33:28

close. Yeah, I don't think anyone because we don't

33:30

have our shit together like other countries where they're

33:32

like, all right, we've counted the votes. Like,

33:35

yeah, here it is. Yeah, other countries. Yeah,

33:37

that's just how it works. We don't we

33:39

haven't figured that that out quite yet. And

33:41

there there has to be a reason we

33:43

haven't figured that out quite yet. Like it's

33:45

somebody's best interest for that not to have

33:48

been figured out. I'm sure you spent two

33:50

days on this, but also isn't this the

33:52

first poll since electric

33:54

battery shark paradox? Yeah,

33:56

that was electric

33:59

battery shark. paradox was

34:01

actually the second time

34:03

he said that. It just

34:05

happened to get a little more pickup

34:08

this time. He's done that exact same

34:10

speech like eight months ago. Oh,

34:13

that's in the prompter? Yeah. I

34:15

mean, it's in the prompter in his head. Yeah,

34:18

for sure. But here's the thing I wonder though

34:20

about that, and it just to seriously tie back

34:22

into the polls, I feel like

34:24

there's a lot of people at Trump

34:27

rallies that are

34:30

leaving the rally the same way

34:34

like we left Ant-Man and the

34:36

Wasp. We left like we

34:38

left like phase four Marvel. Phantom

34:41

Menace. Yeah, like we walked up here and

34:43

like, I don't know. That

34:46

was good. That was good, Dan. That was good. I don't

34:48

know if it was good. It was like it was just

34:50

like I'm glad we went. I

34:52

love going to the movies with

34:54

you, but yeah, obviously he's a

34:56

genius. Obviously, like, obviously

34:59

George Lucas is a genius and that movie

35:01

was awesome. But I think you're right that

35:03

there were like some things that were and

35:06

obviously was like four stars

35:08

out of four stars. I'm not gonna say bad, but

35:10

it was just like there was something like a little

35:12

bit weird. But like we both agree we are leaving

35:14

this movie the way we left Infinity War. Like we

35:16

know that like we're at least, oh yeah, yeah, I'm

35:19

willing to say that. I'm willing to say that. I

35:22

wonder if they are sort of like walking

35:24

back to their wagon years and

35:26

like saying like, that's

35:29

a little different, right? We

35:32

need more interviews with people walking back to

35:34

their wagon years from Trump speeches, just being

35:36

like, so like, what do you

35:38

guys think? I wonder

35:41

if that's coming through in the polls a little bit of like,

35:43

I like people aren't as

35:46

decided or they don't want to

35:48

answer. I don't know, but like it has to

35:50

be on some level. Some people go and there's,

35:52

I'm not saying I could have voted for them,

35:55

but in the polling, they're a little bit watered

35:57

down. Right. I mean, that's why like, I just

35:59

think of like, when you look at the rallies,

36:01

they are different. They're not saying, they're not

36:03

doing, remember, it used to be like, they're going

36:05

to do a locker up, they're going to do

36:07

drain the swamp, they're going to do build the

36:09

wall, they're going to scream it. They haven't

36:11

said it. I think

36:14

one of the last couple, we haven't

36:16

even heard those usual chants.

36:18

It's just the normal USA

36:20

or bullshit or

36:22

whatever the fuck they want to scream out. Again,

36:25

I think that's also because the actual

36:28

substance of his rallies is completely different. He

36:30

was on this whole populist thing in 2016.

36:33

You're like, oh, look at this, build

36:36

the wall is actually something a

36:38

lot of people are feeling. He's

36:40

articulated it into this simple slogan.

36:42

He's pulling it from talk radio.

36:45

From talk radio callers. Yeah, exactly. Everyone's

36:47

like, yeah, actually, hell yeah, drain the

36:49

swamp. They're like, hell, yeah, exactly. Now

36:51

they're like, are we this? Fuck it.

36:53

No, no, no, no. It's fine.

36:56

No, this is okay. I think

36:58

also, because it went from being

37:00

talking about the potential things that

37:02

were like the misgivings of the

37:04

electorate and have just been replaced

37:06

with his own personal revenge fantasies and

37:08

grievances that he just yells at them

37:10

about. They're like, all right.

37:12

He's like, you know, it's just a witch hunt, you

37:14

know, folks. They're like, right. They're your

37:17

enemy too. They're your enemy too. They're going to

37:19

get you. You have a hula hoop. A lot

37:21

of people do have hula hoops. I have hula

37:23

hoops. And you're like, I don't wait. What? Why

37:25

are we talking about racism? Do more. Yeah, I'll

37:32

get to it. I'll get to it. And

37:34

I know the judge, he looks like an

37:36

angel, but he angel

37:39

walks like an angel. He just starts singing the

37:41

song. He literally said that the angel, the

37:48

judge looks like an angel. It was so

37:50

confusing, but yeah, he's mainly

37:52

focused on personal grievance. Hopefully that's enough

37:54

to distract people. There's, there was

37:56

like this New York Times article that freaked me out a little

37:59

bit where they were like, So

38:01

the people, the low visibility

38:03

voters, the low, like

38:05

the voters who don't usually

38:07

vote essentially in primaries and

38:10

in midterms, they

38:13

used to always go Democrat. And

38:15

so this is why the Republicans

38:18

whole strategy, like during W.

38:20

Bush's presidential elections and all

38:23

those times was to suppress

38:25

voter turnout. And now

38:27

they're saying that like Trump

38:30

wins those people by like

38:32

14 percentage points. And

38:35

I think this explains also like why

38:37

he, I don't know,

38:39

like the thing that's scary to

38:41

me is if the election was

38:43

held today, even if Biden is

38:45

up by a couple of percentage

38:47

points, like Biden and Hillary Clinton

38:49

were up big on Trump in

38:52

the polling heading into both elections.

38:54

And he always over-performs the polling.

38:56

So I don't think it's ever

38:58

enough to be like, yeah, Biden's

39:01

doing great in the polls because Trump always,

39:03

he just has, he's

39:06

very popular and motivating to a

39:08

lot of people who don't answer

39:10

polls or usually vote. So

39:12

that's what's making me feel like

39:14

shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got

39:17

plenty of reasons, got plenty of

39:19

reasons. We got plenty of reasons

39:21

to feel like shit, pal. But

39:23

I mean, I wouldn't say that there's no policy

39:25

talk because he does typically just be like, and

39:28

there won't be taxes for anyone. No

39:30

taxes. How do you fund

39:32

it? Whatever, yeah. We're gonna kill the sharks. And

39:35

we will let you see immigrant sharks. And I'm

39:37

not gonna do it. I'm not taxing sharks. I've

39:39

never been a bad, a West Side Story, Dream

39:42

of Dream, somewhere, somewhere. And

39:44

I saw a West Side Story. A lot of people said, don't see

39:46

it. I saw it. Rita Moreno,

39:48

God bless her, too bad she's gone. A lot

39:50

of people think she's alive, died, didn't you? She's

39:53

alive. She's very much alive. She's coming out in

39:55

a new movie. She's gone. They buried her like

39:57

they, like Bud buried him. Bud buried

39:59

him. He made him a, and he took a sword. He lied

40:01

about having a sword. A lot of people lie about whether or

40:03

not they sell their swords. It's

40:06

such a fun. He's just

40:08

mad, Jabba. Yeah, yeah. Ugh,

40:11

amazing. All right, we have

40:13

another poll that

40:15

I would give about as much credence

40:18

as the ones we were just

40:20

talking about. This one is a map

40:22

that shows the top states for conspiracy

40:25

theorists. I'm seeing it get passed around.

40:27

I'm seeing it pick up some

40:30

traction. And so the

40:33

big headline, the top of

40:35

the list was Florida, Texas, and California. Least

40:38

conspiracy theory-centric states, Maryland, Rhode

40:40

Island, Hawaii, and North Dakota.

40:43

But there are just a few caveats to

40:46

this. For starters, this

40:48

information comes from the sports

40:50

website Oddspedia, who for

40:52

some reason launched a study into

40:55

conspiracy theories instead of

40:57

just offering predictions for NFL win

40:59

totals. And

41:04

if you go to oddspedia.com right

41:06

now and enter DVK at checkout,

41:08

they will match your conspiracy up

41:10

to 10 conspiracies. That's

41:13

right. Also, they

41:15

go, what? California, Texas, and Florida,

41:17

the most populous states in America?

41:20

Like what else are you fucking

41:22

saying? You know, in that order.

41:25

Yeah, the map was also created using

41:28

a poll that asked people which states

41:30

they believe is, which

41:32

state they believe is most likely

41:34

to have the most conspiracy theorists.

41:37

So it's a poll of people's

41:40

guesses. Speaking about other people. About

41:42

other people. Yeah, because

41:44

if there's one thing I know well,

41:47

it's people that aren't me or in

41:49

my immediate community. So the actual map

41:51

is, here's a map of the states

41:54

where Americans think most conspiracy theorists are.

41:57

Yes. And

41:59

isn't that... isn't that fascinating.

42:01

Yeah. Yeah. It's like

42:03

the dark states are California,

42:06

Texas, Florida, New York.

42:08

It is literally the

42:10

population centers. Yeah.

42:13

Then Illinois, Ohio, like Pennsylvania,

42:15

we're going in order of

42:17

the most populous. Is it?

42:20

Yeah. Oh, look at you. Oh,

42:22

wow. You guys got your shit over there. I'm proud

42:24

of what people think about us at odds when they

42:26

go to oddspedia.com. Yeah. Me

42:29

and my own. You got it in you. But

42:31

wouldn't you say, wouldn't you guys say if

42:33

this was an accurate math

42:36

with accurate date, data,

42:38

data, Star Trek, either

42:40

one's fine. Florida probably doesn't

42:42

change color. Yeah, no, probably

42:45

not. Yeah. Like if you're, if

42:47

you're in the keys, it's for a reason. You're

42:52

hiding from something. Yeah. You're either running

42:54

from something or really trying to find

42:56

something. Alabama is getting a lot

42:59

of love too. Yeah. They're

43:01

also like one of the dark, like that one's an

43:03

outlier where they're like, and I think maybe it's like,

43:05

yeah, I don't know, man, people from Alabama. Or I

43:08

don't know if you're from Alabama, is that a big

43:10

conspiracy theory state? I guess

43:12

because everything you can imagine, like California,

43:15

you're going to get freaky anti-vaxxer

43:17

people. Like there's like a

43:19

lot of woo woo anti-vaxxers here. Like

43:21

you're on the other side and you

43:23

think California because they all, they have

43:25

those crazy gotta get vaxxed people. Like

43:28

it goes, it literally cuts

43:30

both ways. Yeah. Yeah.

43:33

Right. Because it's just your

43:35

opinion of what a conspiracy theory is. Yes.

43:39

California believes Joe Biden is the president.

43:41

You literally can have someone say to

43:43

you, I think it's this state because

43:45

they don't believe anything there. They make it

43:47

all up. Or and then another person goes,

43:50

I think it's the same state because they

43:52

believe everything there. Right. Exactly.

43:55

As somebody who has traveled a lot in this

43:58

great nation of ours, dang, it'll be encouraging. what

44:01

where you and you also

44:03

do a show about the

44:05

sorts of people yeah people doing

44:07

impressively stupid things what

44:09

what uh where are you thinking

44:12

the hot spots of course you get some love more love

44:14

on here and I love this

44:16

state but it's probably I'd

44:20

probably have to go Wisconsin

44:23

Michigan Montana

44:26

yeah organ any place where

44:29

a large part of the state is

44:31

for people who really want

44:33

to like live remotely like yes yes

44:35

it's not about the state as a whole it's

44:37

just do you have a part of your state

44:39

where people are like the keys can be considered

44:41

this as well where people are out here to

44:43

be like I have my thoughts

44:45

about the world and I don't want to

44:47

be around anybody the Upper Peninsula the

44:52

Boundary Waters Rick rural

44:54

Oregon like you're up there because you're like I

44:57

know what's really going on and I get to be on

44:59

my I don't want nothing to do with this thing you

45:01

got nothing it's a lamb low for 37 years yeah damn

45:03

son all right

45:09

you know I don't own a mirror right wow

45:12

is that impressive don't need yeah don't

45:14

need obviously there's conspiracy people like in

45:17

New York and which predominately you would

45:19

carry New York City would carry the numbers

45:21

obviously but you can't live in

45:23

New York City unless you will conform to how

45:26

things need to work like I get on this

45:28

train you get off here you need to be

45:30

a part of this system otherwise you will not

45:32

it will life won't work for you here now

45:35

that doesn't mean they don't have conceals you know

45:37

somebody's been in the same apartment in the Upper

45:39

East Side for 50 years and newspapers everywhere sure

45:42

but a lot of it is like when you believe your

45:44

own way and you do your own thing you need to

45:46

get up to northern Wisconsin I'm

45:48

in the deserts of eastern

45:52

Oregon man you're like all right yeah all

45:54

right yeah I'm out here in New Mexico

45:56

and I haven't seen another person in four

45:58

days that's right yeah I

46:00

like when I'm in a place where it's

46:03

so, you're just

46:05

like truly in like the wilderness where like

46:07

it's just the sound of nature is almost

46:09

deafening. Like I definitely like that, but I'm

46:12

wondering like, cause part of me is like,

46:14

well, I like that. But after maybe five

46:16

days, I'd be like, yo dude, I need

46:19

to at least hear someone's like terrible exhaust

46:21

pipe on Honda or something. Like the

46:23

soundscapes that make me feel okay

46:25

too. I don't know how long

46:27

I can do it. Even though, yeah, I probably

46:30

not too many beliefs away from having a manifesto

46:32

and like a mountain shack, but

46:34

yeah, but you know, they don't, I

46:37

can't make my own blunts, you know, my own tobacco

46:39

skins to roll. I still need to go to the,

46:41

Yeah, I'm with you. I need, I need enough. I

46:43

need to be, I need to be waving at people

46:45

at least once or twice a day. Yeah,

46:48

rather than like a hawk who's just like picked

46:50

up a salmon from a stream like, hey. Yeah.

46:53

Nice one. Yeah, I know you Bernard.

46:55

I said nice one. It

46:58

drops the salmon drops. Oh shit. My

47:01

bad, but nevermind. Just go. Well,

47:04

good catch. You picked it up before you

47:06

hit the ground. That's cool. That's a five

47:08

second rule. What? That's so funny. Fucking

47:11

loser keeps talking to us, man.

47:13

Jesus Christ. Oh

47:18

eagle lately? Yes, I saw like

47:20

47:26

the past couple of years they've been. Hold on, go

47:28

ahead. They've had a nest on the lake. And

47:33

when I was leaving the

47:35

cabin to fly, get

47:37

to the airport and then fly back here to LA, there

47:39

was one just at the top of a telephone

47:41

pole. I took a photo of it. I could

47:43

send it to you guys. I was like, that's

47:45

a fucking bald eagle. That's amazing. You were just

47:47

talking about rural Wisconsin being so. Being a place

47:49

where people go to their cabins. What kind of

47:51

ideas you got, man? Put

47:54

me on the game. I know about YouTube. That's what

47:57

48:11

rescued bald eagle and I never

48:13

48:16

48:21

51:42

are you using, man? Didn't

51:44

qualify for. So CNN's

51:46

polling threshold of 15% in

51:48

at least four approved national

51:50

polls. Okay. So

51:53

he got to three. So

51:55

congratulations. This was the big detail that

51:57

I feel like is being under. emphasized

52:00

in the mainstream media. He also

52:03

fell short of the ballot requirements

52:05

to secure access in enough states

52:07

to win 270 electoral votes. This

52:12

person who's being given

52:15

this much media attention is

52:17

mathematically eliminated before the

52:19

election starts. I

52:23

think you're focusing on the wrong stuff. I

52:26

agree. Because he also- Cook, Cook,

52:28

Miles, Cook. He ticked a couple of

52:30

boxes. Is he at least 35 years

52:32

old to run for president? Yes. And

52:35

he's like a nail to that one. I will say. Was

52:38

he born of the United

52:40

States? Yes, he was.

52:42

Did he file for

52:44

his candidacy with the Federal Election

52:47

Commission? Yes, he did. This is

52:49

like watching Rabbit in 8 Mile right now.

52:51

Yeah, thank you. Give it a D. I'm

52:53

fucking white, and I vomited backstage. Yeah,

52:55

this is all bad. Dude,

52:59

even if you tried, I think the most you can

53:02

get to is 160-something. That's

53:04

wild. So it's all just

53:07

to prove a high-minded point. This is

53:09

what's frustrating. After the 2000 election,

53:11

after Bernie made a run, and

53:16

then it was like, oh, the Democratic Party will never

53:18

allow something like that to happen, I

53:20

think a lot of us were like, I

53:22

wonder if there's ever a path to a

53:24

third-party candidate. So

53:27

the fact that he's doing this

53:30

and is like a lot of the

53:32

arguments he's making are also the arguments

53:35

that I'm like, yeah, no, if

53:37

you were trying to prove a

53:39

point other than that presidential

53:42

candidates should

53:45

do their own medicine and

53:47

science, like, you know,

53:49

like if you had an actual

53:51

point to make other

53:53

than do your own research, I

53:56

would be like on board. We need

53:58

it to be easier. or four there

54:00

to be a third party candidate, but

54:03

this guy fucking sucks, man. It's

54:06

inspirational. It's inspirational that he

54:08

can pull this off. Brainworm

54:10

survivors can run for president, but

54:13

the thing that I think is also kind of wild too

54:16

is you don't, it does, this also doesn't preclude

54:18

him from running. It's like, do you even have

54:20

the votes to be president? Nah. All

54:23

right, man. You can keep running. All good. Nothing

54:25

bars you from not running. I'd say, do you

54:27

have the votes to stop me? Yeah. Wait, what?

54:29

Yeah. Perfect. Don't

54:32

guy logic. While you

54:34

really do doing a weekly podcast. Let

54:38

me ask you this. Can you kick

54:40

my ass? Yeah. Yeah. The

54:45

thing about a third, the thing about

54:47

a real third party, we're not, we

54:50

are not going to have a third

54:52

party candidate

54:55

until we've, this

54:57

is sort of a chicken and egg thing. Until

54:59

we've had a third party president, like

55:01

the person, we're going to have a third

55:03

party until the person who is

55:05

running on a third party wins. Yeah.

55:09

Well, I mean, I think more than that, like

55:11

there actually needs to be more like third party

55:13

people in Congress. That's really the building blocks you

55:15

need is like, you got to start getting people

55:17

in Congress first before you can't just jump. You

55:20

can't just skip to the oval from there.

55:22

Like, yeah, I mean, I think that's the

55:24

trouble that especially on like the left has

55:26

with like the two party system is figuring

55:29

out what the best path into that

55:31

is. But the only way to start

55:34

is to actually run people for Congress

55:36

and at least get a foothold there because

55:38

otherwise, yeah, it's going to be very difficult.

55:40

But I think like with RFK's campaign, the

55:42

thing is, even before all

55:45

these numbers that mathematically

55:49

preclude him from winning the

55:51

presidency, like the campaign was

55:54

just fucking wobbly as shit.

55:56

Like they were not making it. They

55:58

weren't raising any money. in

56:00

that tech person, Nicole Shanahan, to be

56:02

his vice president to put her own

56:04

money in it, wasn't enough. The

56:06

biggest person bankrolling this is a Trump

56:09

donor. He was even doing stuff.

56:11

He's like, hey, man, if you fucking donate, whatever

56:13

donations you can get, I'll give you 15% of

56:17

whatever you gave to me. Let's just split it. 1585. Wait,

56:20

what? Yes. He

56:23

was trying to, again, to bring the sharks

56:25

into it, chum the waters, by promising a

56:27

15% return on whatever

56:29

you helped fundraise. Dark

56:32

money goes in the water. You go

56:34

in the water. Exactly. It's in the

56:37

water. Exactly. So, yeah, it's just all

56:39

like, there's another thing they did is like,

56:44

you could do like a luxury sunset sailing adventure.

56:46

He tried to do raffles and stuff, selling off

56:48

family hair. Hold on, how are you telling me

56:50

how you're language? Yeah. I mean, what do you

56:52

think he can get? Is that in like high

56:55

on a sport? Is he doing the, is he

56:57

trading it on the Kennedy magic? What are we

56:59

doing? He can't run a campaign like a school

57:01

silent auction. Exactly. That's what he's doing. Yeah.

57:04

Right. Yeah. Or I guess

57:06

you can. Yeah. It turns out. It's like,

57:08

hey, does your dad still work in the garage

57:10

door business? Yeah. You think he could like donate

57:13

a new garage door that I can

57:15

put that in the raffle for people? Free

57:18

estimate. We could do a free estimate. Okay.

57:20

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll take

57:22

that. This thing is not

57:24

running on anything except my brain worms.

57:27

The other thing that he's getting

57:30

ridiculed for lately is claiming that

57:32

the head of NPR is a

57:34

CIA agent. This is another

57:36

way he pisses me off because some of

57:38

his conspiracy theories are good. I like

57:41

the conspiracy theory that the head

57:43

of NPR is the CIA agent,

57:46

personally. I don't know

57:48

it to be true. I haven't done

57:50

my own research into this one, but

57:52

there is a history

57:54

of CIA involvement in American media.

57:56

I doubt the head of NPR

57:58

is a CIA. But

58:00

and then he's also getting made fun of for

58:03

man. He's so close if

58:05

his whole thing wasn't just fuck

58:07

science and Medicine I'd be

58:10

a big fan because his other thing is

58:12

like he's he's a weird bird person He's

58:14

like trying to train Ravens in his

58:16

yard with like scraps of meat

58:24

He has a pet emu that is

58:26

like constantly attacking Cheryl Hines So

58:29

he's in his own version of the staircase.

58:31

Yes Yes,

58:36

if Cheryl ends up with like a weird

58:38

what he calls Raven injury then we'll know

58:40

yeah, yeah, absolutely what happened You could tell

58:43

by the scratch marks It

58:45

was definitely Raven dude. And finally

58:48

Grimace is back Grimace Grimace

58:50

left not my heart Grimace

58:53

for Grimace is like the Kennedy's and

58:55

that we are just dying for any

58:58

way to get him into The

59:00

zeitgeist just give us Anything

59:03

grim please so in this case

59:06

Grimace is a baseball sensation So

59:08

last year it was he

59:11

put out a milkshake that was made of

59:13

his come we pointed that out on our

59:15

show A lot of people

59:17

exactly a year ago. Yeah A

59:19

year ago of it. Yeah, then, you know

59:21

McDonald's profited off of it. It was almost

59:23

like We were CIA plants

59:27

who had been put there to make

59:29

that joke to the worst What's

59:32

a mission? Yeah. All right agent gray and

59:34

O'Brien you got to get people to think

59:36

with this grimace. Smokeshake is his come I

59:48

Just some we think of you interesting just to see where

59:50

it goes. Yeah. All right. All right This

59:53

is like the with the winds of

59:55

change that yeah, like create a meme

59:57

a bunch of memes about the grimace

59:59

All right. So the

1:00:02

Mets are having all I

1:00:04

know about the net Mets is heading

1:00:07

into the season. Their fans are like, but

1:00:09

this is like, this is the year, the

1:00:11

literal super team. Like we have paid all

1:00:13

the best players in major league baseball to

1:00:15

play for the Mets. How could

1:00:18

it go wrong? And then the next time I

1:00:20

hear about them, they are having a like

1:00:22

disastrous season. Like that's, those are the two

1:00:24

times it cause I don't really like pay

1:00:26

that much attention to baseball. So it's like

1:00:28

those stories pop up every once in a

1:00:30

while. So that happened again this year. They

1:00:32

have the highest battle, $308 million started the

1:00:36

season 39, 29 and 37. And then a little something happened. They invited Grimace to

1:00:45

throw out their first pitch. And

1:00:48

they won that game. And

1:00:50

that's it. No, no, no,

1:00:52

no. Huh? Then

1:00:55

they won seven more. They won seven in

1:00:57

a row after Grimace

1:00:59

throughout the pitch. And everybody has

1:01:03

been speculating. This is

1:01:06

Grimace is doing because like

1:01:08

some of the wins have

1:01:10

come with like bizarre errors

1:01:13

by the opponents. Like, so

1:01:15

Grimace's magic is like malevolent.

1:01:19

It's like fucking people up.

1:01:21

Like it's causing other

1:01:24

teams to have errors and

1:01:26

fall down and hurt themselves.

1:01:29

So I'm just saying, so they finally,

1:01:31

the Grimace winning streak came to an

1:01:33

end and lost to the Texas Rangers

1:01:35

last night. But get them

1:01:37

back out there. Yeah. I mean, they

1:01:40

weren't going to win every game. Grimace

1:01:42

can only do so much. If

1:01:44

I don't like that, I don't like that kind of limited

1:01:46

thinking. I think we really

1:01:48

need, I think they should lean the fuck

1:01:50

into this and hope to fucking God, this

1:01:52

is what's going on. That Grimace is the

1:01:54

savior of their season. I think that's just

1:01:56

you. That'd make for a better Angels in

1:01:58

the Outfield type movie. Yeah, just

1:02:00

talk about that with Blair the other day.

1:02:03

This should be like their jobu from yeah,

1:02:05

yeah major league exactly Yeah

1:02:11

Yeah, exactly I that always blew my

1:02:13

mind when I started watching 24 and

1:02:15

like yeah my like movie Kind of

1:02:17

like Mike yeah, like Mike can like

1:02:19

my awareness around Dennis Haysburg's career was

1:02:21

like murky So he showed my dude,

1:02:24

that's fucking Serrano from That

1:02:30

guy was so

1:02:32

stupid like just not understanding what

1:02:35

a fucking movie is But

1:02:38

also what an insult to the fucking players

1:02:41

Like it's fucking grimace man And I

1:02:43

get that a lot of it was like

1:02:45

self-inflicted by their opponents But that's got to

1:02:47

be terrible for morale when everyone's like dude

1:02:50

We got a fucking pray to our grimace

1:02:53

statue tonight because yeah, that's what's gonna help

1:02:56

All right, so I've heard

1:02:58

it said baseball players not always the smartest

1:03:00

and in many cases not Like is there

1:03:02

a sport of the professional athletes? Is there

1:03:04

any sport though where we would say that

1:03:06

we're like, you know those guys Yeah,

1:03:08

I was really smart baseball

1:03:11

offense or basketball offensive

1:03:13

linemen and Quarterbacks tend

1:03:15

to be really have to be really

1:03:18

smart, but I feel like baseball players

1:03:20

are pretty smart insanely superstitious more than

1:03:22

I feel Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they're super

1:03:24

super like right so they're very They're

1:03:29

I feel like like the the red Sox had

1:03:31

that big turnaround Around the team

1:03:34

motto that they were the idiots. I

1:03:36

think like they they called themselves the

1:03:38

idiots I think In

1:03:40

baseball it actually helps to

1:03:42

be like proudly stupid In

1:03:45

some cases and so I feel like this

1:03:47

would actually be a good thing for them

1:03:50

to rally behind Just be like

1:03:52

yeah, it's like we we now

1:03:54

just like say our prayers to grimace

1:03:56

before we go out there Because yeah,

1:03:58

it's it's happening another a player

1:04:01

was literally asked how much credit do

1:04:03

you give to grimace during the post-win

1:04:05

interview like literally that

1:04:07

was that happened i hope that straight face that

1:04:09

1:04:14

give it give them all the credit brandon

1:04:16

you're always very articulate but i want you

1:04:18

to be very thoughtful about this next answer

1:04:21

1:04:23

give to grimace for this reason

1:04:26

i mean uh hey you know i

1:04:28

don't know i don't know about coincidences

1:04:30

1:04:33

definitely correlates with us you know going

1:04:35

on this run and um

1:04:37

1:04:40

it to then then i'm all for it whatever

1:04:42

1:04:44

for it there it is i

1:04:47

like that here's a sort of like let's

1:04:49

correlation and causation he was like keeping the

1:04:51

relationship straight even in his answer i know

1:04:53

well it does correlate with this well fuck

1:04:55

me then this guy's knows correlation causation this

1:04:57

guy no you're right this guy's baseball players

1:05:00

yeah whatever it is let's keep it

1:05:02

going yeah he like he also doesn't want

1:05:04

to lean into it he's like because he in his mind

1:05:06

he's like we can't let him know it's because of grimace

1:05:09

man he's like trying to be casual that makes it look

1:05:11

so much like he's coming like that fucks

1:05:13

it up i'm sorry who is grimace

1:05:15

sorry not the baseball player we were just

1:05:18

talking about i was just looking at

1:05:20

a picture of grimace and his mouth

1:05:22

just looks sorry it is like yeah plus

1:05:24

1:12:23

footnotes. We link off to the information

1:12:26

that we talked about in today's episode, as

1:12:28

well as a song that we think you

1:12:30

might enjoy. Miles, what song you think people

1:12:32

might enjoy? Just a song. I've just been

1:12:35

listening to some like interesting

1:12:37

throwback instrumental music. But actually, I

1:12:39

think this is one of those

1:12:41

like, you know, it's a score

1:12:43

from an Italian composer. The track

1:12:46

is called Mexican Dream and it's by

1:12:49

Piero Piccioni. P-I-C-C-I-O-N-I. And

1:12:51

it's just got again,

1:12:53

it just feels like

1:12:56

nice background music and you're looking at

1:12:58

a nice landscape. So again, I like

1:13:00

relaxing things like that, especially as things

1:13:02

get hotter and the summer is fully

1:13:05

here. So just, you know, start off

1:13:07

easy. Just put this on your speakers,

1:13:09

your headphones, your car stereo, whatever. Take

1:13:11

a nice drive with the windows down

1:13:13

and enjoy this Mexican dream by Piero

1:13:15

Piccioni. Piero Piccioni hangs

1:13:17

out with Mark Maggiore. They

1:13:20

kick it together and are just

1:13:23

hot together in general. So I

1:13:25

don't know if people,

1:13:27

oh yeah, maybe that's in the cold

1:13:29

open. People know about our love for

1:13:31

Mark Maggiore. They're gone. Fucking

1:13:35

hot boys. Hot boys. Right.
