Oh?
My god?
What a song.
So I believe the song is about when you're deep in mental illness and it doesn't matter anymore, you know what I mean. You're just coasting in it and you're writing it and you're like, yeah.
Okay, embracing it.
Yeah, exactly. It's about embracing it and just being like I talked to my banana. That's a phone?

I'm it's so funny. I haven't quite done kids songs with no what with my song? It's like, Yo, you want to listen to rage, You want to listen to the system of a down he loves he loves uh? Just what is that down with the sickness? Just this part? Oh he fucking loves that?
All right?
I gotta over and over to get to sleep.
Well. I started saying it like just like you know, because sometimes you change a baby, you kind of like distract them so they don't go fucking trying to do backflips on you when they're like just covered in fee. He'm like, please, this is a fucking dangerous activity that I've realized I can subdue.
Him with like laughter while I'm doing it.
So at one point I just started beatboxing Idio Tech by Radiohead. He liked that one boo and I just do that ship and he was like okay, okay, and then I had to go to.
And he just he kind of fucks with it.
Yeah, And I don't know why I haven't. I need to fully go into the nursery rhymes catalog.
But I am like deep in like teeth three syndrome, like isolation. I'm not working, I'm not writing, I'm not on social media. Yeah, just twenty four to seven Babytown.
Yeah, it's just Babytown.
It's just like me out here, no child care, doing this, like trying to save money, right, and just like talking to Afy and we have really deep conversations and this is our favorite song. And I'm realizing now that the toddler songs are really just.
For me, right.
Yeah, He's like, mom key, banana phones are funny, Like my friend Ryan once ended a conversation by taking a call on a banana phone, like with a stranger, and they.
Just let him.
They were just like, oh, he's like just kind of went with it. Yeah, he did such a good job of pretending he was taking a call.
That's an interesting way to just say fuck you.
I mean, generally, I'm so highlight. He surveyed that I feel like if I'm doing anything really terrible, somebody's gonna step in. Some acronym will show up, the NSA, the FBI lady. I just feel like, you know, I'm probably good.
Yeah, they got they We better keep tabs on this.
We'll get her a new album to sing to her daughter.
I mean, I'm always reaching after them with like questions. I just call out, just is this right?
Am?
I okay?
Can I introduce chicken and salmon on the same day? Is that terrible?
Why not? You know? Why not?
And if I don't get something weird on like Instagram or just yeah, my phone wigging out somehow, I just or like a light flickering. I'm like, it's probably that's probably the NSA.
Is that you nor?
All right? Are we are going to get to know you a little bit? Better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about Elon Musk's trip to Auschwitz, specifically his suggestion that X could have prevented the Holocaust. We will talk about the history of gummy vitamins, all of that plenty more. But first, Zara, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about.
Who you are?
How do I get my baby with no teeth to eat eggs?
Hmmm?
Is there a satisfying answer that you triggered out?
Yeah?
Baby bird that shopd Yeah.
Move their mandible for them.
You mash it on their tray and then there they play with it with their fingers and then they eat their hands.
Oh yeah, because what does the does the baby have like pincer grasps and that kind of stuff? Yet those mechanics down or just more just in the mush face no, just mush yeah, yeah, yeah right.
No, I get that.
I mean, for I remember the beginning, just being like, why won't this baby eat that?
I like, that's right, you don't have the motors.
To find motors like yeah, right, that's what it is, is my cooking.
So bad this baby eat this taco?
Yeah yeah, not happening. A lot of face mirroring.
Yeah yeah, baby doesn't know how to use fond set.
Really shit together?
Should I be worried?
Yeah?
When When does fun do set skills start.
To show NSA and help us baby questions?
Someone Gina haspell call in from the CIA, let us know are we doing?
Okay?
What does the FBI's take on this?
Which?
What's something you think is overrated?
Authenticity? M?
What do you mean what you're saying here?
Yeah?
I'm over it. Just at first I was going to be specific and talk about like gray hairs and personal grooming M. But that I realize just in general, I'm over authenticity.
Give it.
Give us an example of how you are bucking the scourge of authenticity.
Okay, number one, please take a note of my attire today, folks at home. I am in flannel covered in eggs, banana, avocado, and apple.
Yeah I did. I was going to say, wait, don't forget the apple, but yeah, okay.
Yeah, some of it from last week?
Yeah yeah?
Oh yeah, wow, that's not stains on the SWITS shirt I wear't.
Right now now.
I also have like all my grays peeking through a little bit of sunburn. On one side.
On one side, you don't want to know you're breaking up the parenting by being a lung haul trucker.
Is that where the.
I don't want to be fucking authentic. I don't want to be authentic. I want you at home just imagining that I look fucking glamorous. Yeah, that my hair is like blown out, my makeup is contoured and perfect. My snapchat filter is like, really, how I look? You know what I'm saying that I'm like a Kim Kardashian mom that's just like together all the time, always on my banana phone, just.
Having long, like three hour long phone calls.
That like mommy's busy, Mommy's busy. Anyway, rothy, get back.
We all know it's not true, but isn't it better? You know, I've already been on the show talking about how important lying is, right and this is really just part two event. Just keep the lies going. You don't need to know how people are doing. Really, whenever people are like, how are you doing? Like, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, I'll tell you. Look, I'll tell you if I'm doing bad.
How about that? Otherwise, let's just presume I'm bawling out of control. Okay, I'm just.
Out here just killing it, just slaying. Yeah, you know, drinking from hydroflask that should have been a Stanley.
Okay, yeah I did.
We did clock that before we started rolling, and I was like, oh, you came with the Stanley and then you turned it around. Set the record straight. It is a hydroflask, but it looks functionally exactly the same as a quencher.
And you said you were not ye Stanley.
You know, I screwed up lied.
Yeah, this is the one area that we have to disagree. Authenticity isn't good.
Damn it.
If it's a Stanley, quencher or a hydroflag, it needs to be a Stanley, unfortunately for us to be okay, because we're gen Z. We're gen zregen Z.
That's right.
Did you not know?
I forgot?
It's very important, So.
Fucking cringe, like you don't even know your gen zs are, Like.
I'm so sorry.
Oh my, did you try a stand though? Wait for real, though, did you try a Stanley Stanley?
I didn't like it?
Okay, so break it down, house not been using it?
Well, Stanley is narrower mm okay, and I was extra conscious of how it might tip over.
Oh, it didn't feel stable, like.
I care about my center of gravity. I also don't have as much collagen in any of my joints anymore.
Things are wildly y.
Yeah, just thought you were a great dance.
It's true.
I mean it's narrow. So this might answer the question that I was asking yesterday, because I was like, okay, the stanley being the size of a cup holder makes sense. Why do so many of my cups not fit into a cup holder? What are you thinking? And it's for stability in non cup holder situations, it would seem matter right.
Like a good wild cup.
Oh, hold all the way down to the base right, all the earth matters, all the way down exactly, Get all the way down. I mean, you know what this fits?
This fits in everything. If it does, its in my car, if it's in my vagina, I try.
To still got it every night, just making sure.
I could put the baby back in. I probably could. I had a birth. We didn't talk about this last time.
I don't think we did know I had a.
I should say vaginal birth. Yeah, that took twenty minutes all the way.
We did talk about it off mic though, but I think we weren't prepared to be like, yeah, twenty yo, shoutout twenty minutes, shout out.
To a quick good for you man.
My doctor asked me if I would like to do this professionally.
Right and also and uh go into the bathroom with this Stanley mug really quickly. It was easy.
Sure you haven't done this before? That was wow.
I had no issue. Also, this fits in my vagina.
Now my.
Hydroflask and Stanley.
Oh man, Jack, you're gonna get a Stanley though you said you you you're hearing I'm thinking, okay.
It's it's definitely uh under underheavy.
Yeah, you're just waiting for hydroflass to be more popular.
That's what our household has a Stanley in it. I am just not permitted to use it or look at it, but you know it's we have one. We've invested in a Stanley and now you know, it just takes some time whether we are at to Stanley. Household is just a thing that you you kind of have to have a conversation about with your loved ones. That's for every family. That's it for every family.
YEA to this sense, Stanley also has a rim. Do you know how easy it is to wash this rimless hydroflask flat face?
Oh? Yeah that that like that, it's so easy.
To wash this. I just hold it under the sink and just easy to wash. Yeah, I have you have to like.
Yeah, yeah, we do a little. Yeah, we don't have time for that.
Do detailing. Yeah, I don't want to have to do detailing.
It sounds like when I wash dishes.
Same for me.
Yeah, that's definitely my internal monologue. I open like an old bottle and I'm like, oh, I happen here, clean it quickly.
I do every household chore like Paul Rudd picking those things up in wet, hot American summer.
Yeah, putting his utensils away.
Exasperated, zero energy with every movement.
Right, Yeah, that's how orgasm now, Yeah that's how.
It was.
It good for you?
Yeah? Whatever, Give me the Stanley, Just hand me the Stanley, give me ten minutes, me my phone, give me banana phone, my banana phone, and my and my hydroflask.
Let me get right real quick, get right with the lord. What is something you think is underrated?
Yo? Did we talk about this tongue tie? Every getting a baby's tongue tie release, No, do we talk about this?
Wait? What is tongue think that?
Oh my god, it's like everywhere in my world.
Oh this thing under your tongue here?
Yeah yeah, your friend little yeah yeah?
Wait wait.
Wait what is this? Wait? What are we doing?
OK So, it's like a fad right now for everybody to like cut their baby's tongue tie to the point that they're.
Not at home.
Some people do it at home, not for the baby, not for the baby. But I have heard of like people who are older, like even teenagers from twelve. I've heard of a twelve year old boy doing this. I've heard of an eighteen year old doing this, And I've heard of people in their twenties and older just like cutting their own tongue ties, which I think is a little bit much, but like with their fingernails, because that's how they did it in like medieval times.
It's just like h just like nail a yeah, nip nip that U says, being you are like a coke addict if you had that like long pinky No.
But they're like, no, I'm a midwife and.
I work on ain Kilo glossia.
I think is the medical term for tongue tie.
Oh.
So it's basically that for some people that part is keeping is limiting the range of motion for their.
Tongue, right exactly, it limits the range of motion, and so they chop down on your nipple the little baby. Oh and it can.
Right, a baby's tongue has to do.
This like dynamic wave like motion to get all milk out of your tit. Yeah, and a chomped down on your nipple. And then what medical establishments people's like to say is you have the wrong nipple for your baby, because if you have a long nipple, it stimulates their palate.
I blame your nipple, yeah right, Yeah.
Certified LC's will tell you. Lactation consultants will tell you it's not nipple feeding, it's breast feeding.
You.
The whole breast goes into the mouth and cheeks of your baby and it just drawn and it gets all the milk. And that's how you're supposed to feed. But hungue tie gets in the way of this. And so there's this big controversy, controversy that was in the New York Times that to me is like a little bit rooted in sexism.
Mm. Hmm.
Because and some conspiracy because which is my favorite, because they're claiming that like lactation consultants everywhere are getting commissions from these pediatric dentists that are telling everybody they have tongue ti so they can make a ton of money because you can get away with slicing a little bit of freendulum in a baby without real terrible.
Harm damage, right, interesting, So.
They're like making all of this corrupt money that they shouldn't be making, which is like you know, oh yeah, God forbid an industry that services women ever make any money. I mean, like, but I don't. I don't know that that's true because they my doctors all discouraged me from getting Afy's tongue tied taken care of, but it was actually entirely affecting her feeding, right oh yeah, and then we weren't able.
To people like they at first discourage es.
They completely discoursed.
We got ours untied right at the like early, I think that's how one or two. Yeah, wait for every.
Baby, no, if you're having trouble.
No, just for yeah, I uh had that tight fremulum and they were like, might want to snip that. He's gonna like, wait, you could tell because when he stuck his tongue out, it looked like it was like kind of cleft a little bit right, like into two because the frame is like hanging on too tight.
Oh and I offered.
To do it at home and the doctors said, yeah, why would we do that?
Oh that's when you were asking to borrow my leather man. Oh yeah yeah yeah.
I was like, I got the tools.
I mean, Miles got the tools, but I got to work on it, and I'm like, it's rusty, okay, should be fine.
To be fine.
I got this vice that I could just use to hold his head super securely.
Real quick, you guys, I was trying to look this up and Google says the fremulum is the bridge of tissue connecting your foreskin to the head of your penis.
Yeah.
The producer Justin Justin coming in with the hot I think they most there's two.
There's a friendulum of the tongue too. Yeah, there's a lingual.
That's what I was talking about. What were you guys talking about?
That tells us a lot of Justin's search history. I'll just say I said, what is freulum in Google?
And it's the first thing that comes up.
Yeah, I think it's called thank you because I think it's a friend. Freedom is the one in the mouthy.
We get it.
We were all there. We weren't talking about your people's peepy and cutting that thing off to make sure your breastfeed right through your penis. But good because I bet there are a lot of people Justin were like.
What the freedom is frankulum means so freedom in Latin means bridle, that's the wanting your mouth and then friend you lum means little bridle on your little people.
Free um freeump what to say? Okay, we'll see bailed out again by our super wonderful anyway.
So yeah, but we knew what we were talking about.
We knew and for anyone that was bothering, yeah.
Look that's why come to Please continue to support the show so we can have people sparrows from having embarrassing penis mix ups.
In the opening of the show, the SBI stepped in and took care of us.
Yeah, exactly.
They showed up in Justin's search history and were like, hold.
On, hold on, hold on, what the are talking.
About right now? Good god, they must have the weirdest job. They're just sitting there listening to the podcast recorded live. All right, well, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we'll talk about some news stories. We'll be right play with.
Your friend Youlum.
After these messages, we'll talk more about friendulums.
And we're back. We're back, and a freedom not friendulum just for the recreend.
We knew that, and we knew that.
We knew that, and we knew that, and we knew that all along.
And for y'all, yes, and you pass well passed.
Congratulations. As we all know, Elon Musk has repeatedly amplified anti Semitic conspiracy theories on Twitter, allows hate speech to proliferate all over the face of his social media platform, with some Nazi loving accounts even earning money through its ad revenue sharing program. Wow. So in order to save face, he instituted some serious new policies to kind of clamp down on No way, I'm sorry, No, that's incorrect. No, he traveled to Auschwitz for a nakedly self serving publicity stunt.
My bet, yeah, I was shocked here.
He didn't change any hitting something of substance about how he operates.
You see wouldn't it be nice if Elon wasn't so on brand right?
Right would be but then he wouldn't be Elon Musk now. So, beginning on Monday of this week, he participated in a two day conference themed around combating anti Semitism, hosted by the European Jewish Association, and predictably, it was a complete shit show. He got a private tour of Auschwitz along with Ben Shapiro, who was also at the conference, and like later interviewed him and just lobbed him a bunch of softballs that didn't raise any of his history.
That's even disrespect to a softball.
Yeah, meatballs.
They were like hot in candy dreams in the shape of a sphere basically, and he had a tennis racket to just think that, I mean, beyond that quote unquote interview where they're like, because you would have thought any serious examination of anti Semitism dealing with the person who's running Twitter.
You'd be like.
And also in our next segment called this you here's some of the posts that you have been putting up for the last couple of years. Really would like to talk about that, but it was not the case.
You've been putting up, retweeting, liking, retweeting with comment being like this is weird interesting about like antisemitic conspiracy theories. Yeah, he also brought his three year old, so the you know, the website for the Auschwitz Memorial says it is not recommended that children under fourteen visit the moment oriole, which seems like one of those things that absolutely goes without saying,
but I guess needs to be said. But you see it and you're like, yeah, no, of course, of course he brought his three year old and was like giving him shoulder rides like it was fucking the circus?
Is it the daughter? Wait? Is she x twelve or whatever that name is? Uh, that's that's his son or daughter.
That's the sun, according to sources who I'm looking at. Okay, how do we desert it? Do we have a what?
What are we?
What are we calling? How do we pronounce that jumble of No?
I think you just nailed it. She nailed it so hard that I'm not even going to attempt to reproduce. Ok yeah, yeah, but yeah, So after the Tory sat down for an interview with Ben Shapiro, and Shapiro just didn't in no Way mentioned his history of anti Semitism.
The talk even open and with a video produced by the European Jewish Association that imagined what the Holocaust would have been like if social media and specifically X had existed at the time, and ended by posing the question, if we had had X in nineteen thirty nine, could have been saved we had X in.
I mean, if they're talking about like ecstasy like MOLLI.
Yeah, maybe yeah, rather than like math. Yeah, they're mainly on myth. Yeah, mainly on like very rudimentary myth. And I feel like generally people are less likely to commit mass genocide when on MOLL they're on MDMA rather than rudimentary myth.
But also, like Twitter is stoking Nazism now yea or X, I should say.
Oh you noticed that? Okay, yeah, shit, I guess we didn't really think about that.
Well, but did they answer the question how many lives would have been saved? For the absolutely unuseful question, useless question.
They implied, They implied an answer they had in one of the videos, like fake tweets. They had an official account posting about Auschwitz's thriving inhabitants, only to have that claim debunked by excess community note.
That is so fucking grim?
Are these doctored tweets from at Auschwitz camp official? Like what this is such a grim thought experiment? Then I'm like, who does this fucking benefit? I mean, it's just really just like creating more cover for X, which is a legitimate I mean at this point four chan, eight chan and now X or whatever we want to call this thing.
It's just like a terrible it's a sesspit.
But yeah, community notes would have come through and been like, yeah, actually this is this is actually the site of our told horror. Is that what they're saying? Because the community notes right now, I feel like half the community notes just being like this is from a drop ship company and you can get this product for much cheaper on another outlet for like this consumer good. I feel like that's the most community notes I see recently.
He literally claimed this is a quote. If there had been social media, it would have been impossible for the Nazis to hide. Elon Musk said that, like, try to imagine literally any other CEO making that argument about their products. Like if the head of Pepsi Co was just like, you know, I think Hitler would have had a hard time rising to power with the refreshing taste of mountain dews, baja blasts.
Okay, exactly, let's not let's not just saying let's that may but let's let's let's create a space where that is possible. Though, you know, maybe ba.
Stanley, bad example, because that's probably yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a bad example.
Bad example, bad example, just.
The wild ass shit if it would have been impossible to hide, like well right now they're not even hiding on your website.
They're like fucking out in full force.
So I don't even understand that or is he trying to say that like x Also because of like sort of like open source intelligence people who like kind of begin to like identify who Nazis are, are you siding with those people who actually do try and drag Nazis out into the sunlight? Like that's what's so wild. I'm like, what version of Twitter are you celebrating?
Exactly?
This is wild to me also because like, you know, everything that's going on right now in terms of just like talking about genocide in Israel is anti Semitic, right, But right Elon Musk having this conversation where you just like wax is poetic right while he stokes anti se Sematism on his platform.
It's such a weird thing because the revenue from it, right, And I know that people like at the ADL were really upset with the leadership there because on one hand they're like, we they've called out Elon Musk's anti semitism, and then the other hand be like they're a great partner in the fight against anti Semitism, and it's like a very it's just like it's really really inconsistent, and yeah, it it you begin to wonder, like because because you
know that there's like this whole thing right where the Israeli government is like we've completely lost the digital battlefield in terms of like sentiment on social media, and like there's now like a real concerted effort to really address that because they're like, I don't know what happened like on the internet, like we so they may see like having the power of Twitter, harnessing the power of Twitter, or Elon's desire to try and like you know, whitewash
his anti semitism away as a as like a potent tool to begin like battling that messaging. Because you also have a lot of like these accounts that are like the apparent that are like that are They're like there's like one called at defund Israel Now or something like that that apparently Elon Musk like actually is the one who's like, Okay, I'm gonna give you that like silver gold,
blue like badge or whatever. That apparently he has to have like a say in verifying, and that account is like basically doing all this stuff to be like Hitler's talked about so like poorly, but meanwhile there's a real genocide happening that Jews are doing and you're like, what.
Is this content? Oh my god.
So it's like there's he's like he's like playing every single angle, and I think cynical people are saying that accounts like that. We're not cynical, but like the cynical read on promoting account like that is to just tie any stance that is anti apartheid or genocide as being part and parcel of like full blown Nazi stuff, like.
Full blown antisemity.
Yeah, to completely tie that those two ideas together so they're like inextricable. So then the shorthand for people to be like, oh, you're saying that that means they're like actually a Nazi.
Yeah, see, yeah, just to I mean, maybe this doesn't need to be said, but X Like even if there magically was like a social media platform at the time, Jewish citizens wouldn't just be able to leave Germany after seeing some tweets because the Nazis revoked their right to
free movement long before the death camps were built. And also much of the world did know about what the Nazis were doing but turned a blind eye, which I think is important to keep in mind at this time because that feels like what we're going through right now is a lot of the world just kind of turning a blind eye and just being like, well, that's not really my problem, is it.
Yeah. Well it's weird too because the social media has allowed more people to sort of engage with, like engage with the topic, while governments, for sure, it's like that's why they feel like there's such a tension existing in many countries where people like, I'm sorry, what are we what's our part in this as a nation? Can we do something about that? And like, oh, you saw that. We were just hoping to like let that pass until there's some other global controversy that can kind of keep
this thing moving. But yeah, like just to say like it it's just the tweets would have changed everything. It's just disingenuous and just makes like an utter mockery of like everything that's happening. Because right now I feel like like while people are like a lot of media is unable to really contend with what's happening, especially in Gaza
in the West Bank. Now it's like now it's more like everyone's being like, would you see what Hillary Clinton had to say about Greta Gerwick and Margo Robbie, you know, not getting snubbed and like that's getting to It's just we're in a bizarre, upside down world.
Yeah, but I mean he did make kind of an air type case that he can't be doing in anything that would confused with anti Semitism because he said that he has Jewish friends. Oh no, oh yeah, then that that okay, No, actually two thirds of my friends are Jewish. I'm like Jewish by association. Yoh, problem, he said, I'm asked.
He said, I'm asked. That full quote is I'm Then he said, I'm aspirationally Jewish, dude, you are out here like retweeting that kind of stuff where you're saying like it's that like fake ass, non not real Voltaire quote about being like you should be worried of Like it's to the effect of like you have to think about the people you are not allowed to criticize in a society, and like that's where you know where the power lies. But that's really just comes from an anti Semitic fucking creep.
But they're like that was actually a full taar, Like you're doing that kind of a full taire one said, and then quoting a straight up like four chance, Yeah, you're like that from a Reinhardt Hydrich speech that he gave to the book.
Okay whatever, Sure, but.
Despite his oddly specific fraction of Jewish friends and calculated photo ops, X still not solving its anti semitism problem. Several antisemitic posts on X which have been identified as antisemtic moderators have refused to delete, claiming that they do not violate the platform's rules, so they've been reviewed and not deleted. There's been a spike and anti semitic posts
in the country that must just visited. In Poland because of an incident in December in which a far right MP used a fire extinguisher to snuff out a menora during Hanukkah, which was a major news story and inspired a slew of white supremacist memes. And they're just like, yeah, I mean, what are we going to do? It's you know, so they they're just very selective and where they care about this.
That's it's such a it's so this is so fucking dangerous to play around with what is hate or what is not hate speech? You know what I mean, Like it's completely well, it's gonna lose meaning because it's if it's if it yeah, like to the point where like it's it's like, I don't it really it really blows my mind because I do not see how beginning to weaponize anti semitism in like a very cynical way makes
anyone safe. And it's just used to sort of like stop any kind of discussion or debate or dissent or whatever. But meanwhile, you have somebody who's so open about like what they're like their philosophical view is supposedly be like the standard bearer for the fight against it.
It's just like, wow, what on earth?
Yeah, it's just it It just for me, it's just like it, I only see this getting worse, like to begin to just to fuck around like this constantly. But again, I think like there's clearly there's clearly been this thing of like online the sentiment, whether there's like young people or whatever it is to blame people's just general disgust for what is happening or them being completely taken aback by the violence that's happening against innocent people.
And I don't know, I'm just like.
Well, this is the problem with like the FCC not being on top of this shit right right, And this is why I just want to bring us back again to the fact that authenticity sucks. We don't need to hear about these like hate filled assholes and their anti Semitic bullshit, Like they don't get to have this much voice and presence and energy, Like we are supposed to censor shit like that, you know, or is it censure you know or both? Like it's that's not okay and
you don't get to just like walk around. And in fact, half the reason why we're having to deal with this all again and again and again is because X isn't on top of regulating it as well as other media platforms.
Yeah, That's why I'm like, yeah, I remember in the beginning that like it felt like the EU was really being like, yo, you need to fucking answer for the kinds of garbage that's on this website because like we see that as like a threat to our like stability here.
But I'm not sure like where that's headed. And yeah, I don't know again, I mean, I understand why the US especially doesn't have a reckoning with hate speech, because it's it's so such part and parcel of the culture that they there's no way like that we could begin to do that and have people come out of the woodwork and be.
Like it's it's all of our free speech, not to saying.
That people need to be Possibly we can't even get gun controled together.
Yeah, right exactly. They're like, man, we can't even control objects like that we.
Could easily control, Yeah, like words, Nah, you gotta we can't even.
Fucking there's no regulation.
Yeah, and yeah, like I don't know.
I mean, the FCC obviously is dealing with stuff that's like broadcast, so I don't know who you know, obviously, right, is the real regulator there. But I mean it's just we thought that maybe the advertiser Exodus would do something, but it just seems like now we're just watching it fall apart. But it's like watching like a star collapse on itself, and then it's probably gonna end in something really fucking gross.
What I'm saying, Miles is I don't know why they don't let me do it.
Let you be the charge, ask kicker on Twitter.
Yeah, I would be really good at it. You don't get to play here anymore.
Yeah, and that is the banana phones final word. Click right, Yeah, all.
Right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.
We're back.
And it's just.
A resource question. You know. The FCC has so much less money than Twitter, than most of these people, and so they just like, don't.
Wait, but I don't understand. Aren't they paying taxes?
Oh No, let's talk about gummy vitamins, shall we?
No, don't take them away from me? What are you gonna say?
Jack?
Yeah? Jack, already I'm already reeling from dealing with too much weaponized everything.
What about? So tell me they are healthy?
Right, there's a Blockbuster study that said it's the fucking fountain of youth if you used to eat handfuls of Flintstones vitamins as a kid.
Because we should eat more of them, right Jack.
The Atlantic just published an article called gummy vitamins are just candy the promise of sweet chewy supplements. It's kind of a misleading title, to be honest. They say that they're virtually indistinguishable. The thing that's bad about them is actually so First of all, the reason they taste as good as candy, it turns out, is because on average they can contain just as much sugar as candy does, in some cases more.
I mean, so far, I feel pretty good about this because I think what you're saying is just that gummy vitamins are candy, and candy are gummy vitamins.
By the trans candy.
Yeah that's right. Yeah, basically indistinguishable. And so you can start eating candy in the morning.
Exit Yeah for my B vitamins.
Yeah. So all right, So one gummy vitamin equals one sour patch kid.
Oh.
Only difference is there is the danger of overdoses, especially for children. Since gummy vitamins became a thing, the number of overdoses or calls to the Poison Control for pediatric melatonin overdoses since have risen five hundred and thirty percent over the past decade because these things taste really good to just jamming of five hundred and thirty percent over the past decade.
Well, so what I'm hearing is that afy can't have more than one but I can't.
Yeah, right, yeah, and then just go to sleep for two weeks.
Right, I'm laughing because I don't sleep even if I wanted to, I don't.
It doesn't mean right, what is wait?
What is like a melatonin pediatric melatonin overdose? Even look like oh wow, probably.
Such deep sleep and you have to be like worried. I don't know, can't be good.
Yeah, that's like really like even in hearing that, it's like, yeah, pediatric melatonin overdose.
I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on hold what.
First of all, like, are there just like fucking four year olds is like slumped like nodding off because they pay like hit.
A half bag of.
And then you should they just find like a bag that's like or you know, they find out that the kid has like secretly eaten a bunch of them, Like we've had this, but we like caught it when they were like two gummy vitamins into what would have been a really dangerous situation.
I think.
I mean, I don't know what happens. We have too many vitamins out, don't you. Yeah, I think so, But I think it's bad, Like I don't think you should be and melatonin in particular, like that's the thing that puts you to sleep, you probably shouldn't. My experience with taking too many sleeping pills is that's not a good thing, right, Yeah.
Well has some kind of impact on your friendulum.
Yep, down there, that's right, donated downstairs on your downstairs.
Yeah.
So this one, this is what's interesting to me because I had always assumed gummies had the vitamins inside them they were like, you know, a gelatine that had been formulated with the vitamins mixed in. They are actually oftentimes just sprayed with no way no, and it's not there very reliable. Like the spraying with vitamins is not a reliable way to put like a set amount of vitamins on there. And it also like a lot of the compounds degrade far faster in gummies.
Hold on, just pause for a second. Is what you're telling me that a vitamin spray exists, that I could be just spraying on foods in my mouth like Banaka.
It seems like it.
Yeah, does Banaca still exist?
Did I just did I out myself as not being gen Z anymore.
I don't know what banka is. I'm gen Z.
I never heard of it. No, never, Oh y'all are really leaving me out there like that HiT's different?
But yeah, that is interesting, Like, yeah, there, I guess that would probably be the danger though. You probably people would really fuck up if it was like a liquid vitamin.
They'd be like, yeah, it was seven thousand grams. That was like a kilo of Vitamin D. You just hate, right.
According to an expert, gummy vitamins were the most likely formed to contain much more of an ingredient than listed. According to Consumer Lab report in twenty twenty three, So, of the four gummy supplements reviewed, three contained nearly twice as much of the relevant substance as they were supposed to, and the fourth contained only around three quarters as much.
So they looked at four and they were just like a big It was just like they were like guessing how much of the supplement was in there at any given time.
Hmmm, I wonder it's because it's interesting. Like whenever I see something like this too, I'm always like, okay, is this like it? Like, is the traditional pressed vitamin industry being like, yo, we are fucking getting rocked in the market right now by these gummies. And I don't but I don't doubt what you're saying based on like what I'm reading, because also, like I was just searching right now, if you just search our gummy vitamins, the autofill in
Google just says just candy. Because I think so many people are interacting with this Atlantic article. But then there was one from twenty twenty two from the Wall Street Journal that says gummy vitamins are surging in popularity, but are they just glorified candy? And whenever I see some of the Wall.
Street Journal, I'm like, Okay, what's really going on?
But the more I hear about how they're made, I'm like, Yeah, you can't just spray a fucking candy down with vitamins spray and then be like, yeah, man, this is all you need. These are all your vitamins in one dose.
Oh, I don't know.
If you don't know, I'm just not going to stop beating flint Flintstones vitamins, That's all I'm gonna say.
Yeah, those are not gum. Those are legit.
Those are not gummies, So.
They do have gummy versions, like I would be I would definitely be suspicious if gummy vitamins were not made by like that, if major makers of vitamins were not able to do gummies. But I think anybody can do gummies.
So it's just yeah, so it sounds.
Like a little loss because I don't know what the flintstones are.
Oh yeah, ship between.
Guy Poco Melon.
I'm familiar with.
Yeah, miss Rachel, those are kinds of the that's my mount rushmore of of media tycoons. Yeah, well yeah, I'm old and I was Flinstones Rocks rock Baby Rocks.
In the eighties like they were fucking kids.
Also, what kind of guy are we depicting here that goes between Flintstones and Banaka?
Is the weird guy?
I became obsessed with guy. I just became obsessed with Banaka because I think Jim Carrey said it in like ace Ventura or something.
Oh yeah all the time.
Yeah, and just like but off to the side into someone's face. I was like, yo, I need that and then they banded at my school.
Yeah yeah, my grandma was always talking about ace Ventura's fun.
There's a timelessness to his comedy.
Yeah.
I wear ugs, and I know.
That's the only shoe I know, Crocs and ugs.
Those shoes are shoes.
No are Yeah, there are Panda dunks, the Nike black and white Panda dunks.
Those are the three shoes. Those are the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea yeah. I Meanwhile, I am over here. I did pick my cigarette brand based on what the florint stones told me it was had the most flavor. And I'm also buckling and unbuckling my shoes right now. That's how old I am.
I mean, because I get like, you definitely understand, like for gummies, if you have trouble like swallowing pills and things like that, then yeah, that's a that's a good
delivery mechanism for it. But it also just sounds too like there is this like whole trend because I feel like like Kim car or Courtney Kardashian had like a gummy like people just started being like, yeah, I'm in the vitamin gum me game, and that's when you're like, all right, asshole, Like is this for real or do you just be like, yeah, we sprayed these old candies that we had with vitamin spray, and now I say they're for things like bloating or whatever.
Boost your concentration, yeah.
Exactly, relaxation, yeah exactly.
I wonder if weed gummies are done the same way, like with a spray, because no know that those can kind of hit a little harder than people are expecting them to.
No, no, no, no, I mean like you can because you can infuse it, like you can just make it with like a cannabis infused oil and then put that max that with the gelatin or whatever you're using to make the gummy and then just let that shit sit and then.
Like the same processing for weed would like kill a lot of vitamins.
Yeah, I wonder, but yeah, I mean I guess, like I bet there's maybe someone Janki out there who's taking like, uh sort of like a liquid edible kind of thing and being like, yeah, man, let's put this in a windex bottle, I spray these looking vitings.
Down, and you got like weed gums effective at all.
There is a recent analysis of melatonin and CBD gummies that showed similar results to the vitamin study, where like some contained as much as three hundred and forty seven percent the amount of those substances stated on the label. So but because because these anything that's like a supplement, the FDA does not have.
To review it, and so it's just the wild west out there that makes no idea what's gonna So yeah, I think these kinds of stories are more like a warning to the consumer to understand, like, just so y'all know people can fuck around with these little gummies that you swear.
I mean that's everything, right, Yeah, yeah, Just.
I feel like you could start about any topic, go just so you know, the motherfuckers can be fucking around with that, and you're like, really, that's what.
We just need the government label to just be just so you know, just.
So you know, hey, hey, hey, hey, just so you know they might be fucking around with it. Yeah, they're like they this this product may contain capitalist fuckery.
According to Piet Cohen, a doctor at Cambridge Health Alliance in some real Massachusetts quote, if you have something that you need a specific amount of every time you take it, gummies are not the way.
To go, Okay, well, said doctor Thank you. Yes, thank you, that's all I need. That that could have been the whole article.
Actually, yeah, I mean everything nowadays is just like you know, Oh okay. If you don't like the way public schools run, do it yourself. If you don't like the way social media exists, do it yourself. Build your own platform, create a network, exist on some stack, try to drive your audiences there. Do it all yourself. If you don't like how many vitamins you get in one hit because you don't feel so good, make it yourself.
Yeah, just get just good to this. Yeah, you just need to order pestle in a Windex bottle.
Just click on every single ad that you see that mentions one simple trick that doctors don't want you to know. And basically you've gone to med school.
So good.
Yeah, such a pleasure having you. Thanks, go do the joke.
That it probably sucks you have to. You get to do it all yourself too, because everyone in America is unemployed.
Gotta do it for you, gotta do it yourself. Do it yourself, except for feeding the poor, in which case we will send the police on you.
Not do that yourself.

There's like this dance kind of semi viral thing going about the ace Ventura walk as a dance move, and there's a track that plays is like it's like walking into a dance cipher like this with your shoulders and shit going side to side, and anyway, it all stems from this track of like these girls just kind of like dancing in a cipher together.
