day after Valentine's Day. To everyone, my name is Jack O'Brien a k. Last night a little tyrant came walk into my door last night, a little angel who are usually adore. He said, come on, stupid, don't play like you're dumb. Oh you think you're tired, Just wait till I'm done. Because in the midnight hour he screamed at my door with the tiny yell, called me stupid, dork, dork,

dork dork. That is courtesy a Christie Amagucci made in reference to my four year old just roasting my ass in the middle of the night, like fifteen straight minutes. Just why won't you let me in? Is it because you're stupid? Oh, I get it, it's because you're stupid. Well, thanks for the clip like just owning me. Can I just can I just say I'm sorry, but your fans have too much freedom on this podcast to make me sing that. Yeah, and then you're like, yeah, I'll do it. Sure,

Welcome to our show. A brilliant writer who you can read a Vulture, a D Club team book, pace, the Advocate. You've heard her on pop Culture Happy Hour. It is the brilliant and talented Joel Moni. It's out read my resume to the hands. I love that. That

I know your kid roast to you. I hope they go it was the love there this morning. Yeah, I mean Valentine's Day is a kid's holiday, Like it's a big day at school, Like they got to dress up in pink and purple. I did the same to kind of match the vibes.

And it was really fun. Yeah, it's really funny. I was so happy dropping them off at school, and not for the normal reasons that I get to just like be done with them for the morning. You know, did they make their own Valentine's or did they buy? No, we just bought. We just bought some. I'm cute. That's cute. Yeah, cute when they're like organizing them and putting the names on and attaching the candy and yeah, exactly what cute Because your kids don't do a lot of candy, right,

they don't. They don't do it. They think is candy it's hilarious. Will they will? They dive into it without you. Now, all the kids are gonna beating candy at school. Yeah, I mean around like Halloween and times like that. They they're aware of the existence of candy, they're just u they just have a very low threshold, you know. After after Halloween they have like a couple of pieces of candy and then they forget it exists somehow, whereas I can't.

I'm like still eating it a month later and just being like, well, they won't notice if there's only three gummy bears left the whole time. Joel, we have to welcome in our guest in our third seat, one of our favorite guests, one of our audiences favorite guests. She is an amazing writer, actor, one of the funniest stand up comedians doing it, and she has a new stand up special on HBO that you, guys, it's the best special life scene in years. It really is. I've I've

never agreed thank you so much. I don't usually use the phrases toward to force and bravara because those are stupid for is this, but like that's when I was writing this intro, I was like, I just have to use those frases phrases. That's how fucking good this is. Thank you. The specialist called bitch grow up and she is called Marcel everywhere. I'm back, I'm back, back, back back. I actually want my intro to not include writer actor. I just wanted to be stand up comedian. I want

to ship out. Okay, I mean, you guys don't actually have to cut it, but like I'm I'm fucking like no, I'm officially fully with this special. It's so good. How how has it been A dropped last week? Yeah? I dropped last week. It's been cool. I mean the love that has been cool. I kind of like, because we taped it last July, it's been a minute. I'm just we've been sitting on it and sitting and waiting, and I was all like, man, I can't wait to get

all these compliments and love because I'm so good. Yeah good, I did it. We did two shows, but I didn't one in one show. That's one show. It's one take for those who don't know it's unheard of, and stand up some because it's it's hard. It's hard to do that. And um, I fucking did it. And then I got hammered. For the second show, I told the audience they fucking missed the special. I was like, you guys have to tune in now and then do the jokes. I had

no enthusiasm and I was like, I'm sucking drunk. I killed it. I'm done, and i'd have read. Riguez is director. She's a great comedian. If you're not familiar with her, she hasn't make special as well. But she um yeah right before I went on stage, because I was already like, I don't think I'm gonna do my ship, and she was like do whatever you want before I even said yeah, it was fun, special is special done amazing? Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better

at the moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about today. Everyone is still a flutter over the UFOs, So we're gonna talk about them because it's it's I think it's becoming a little clearer what they are. The three things that got shot out of this guy. So there was the Chinese by balloon, and then the next week three things that

they've still yet to identify. There's like reports that one of them is an octagon and like they're the pilots are heard on one of the tapes thing, but that snow balloon or something to that effect. So we're gonna we're gonna talk about what what it is. I don't I don't think these are actual extraterrestrial UFOs. Though I do oh, I am open to the possibility of extra terrestrial UFOs, I don't think these are them. So we'll talk about all of that. We're gonna talk about Tesla

workers possibly launching a union campaign. They are launching union campaign, so we'll talk about that. We'll talk about Roseanne's new special all of that plenty more. But first, Marcella, we do like to ask our guest. You know us, we like to ask our guests, what's something from your search history?

My um my last search history was Richard and Maurice McDonald because last night we watched uh the Founder with starting Michael Keaton's newly on Netflix, and I had wanted to watch it when it came out back in two thousand and sixteen, but I never watched it, and I was like, first of all, I love McDonald's. Okay, I'm very excited to get the CARDI b offset meal today for Valentine's Day. I think that's what we're planning on doing.

And yeah, and I when we started watching it, because you know, I knew it was based on a true story, but we started watching it, I've gotten into the habit of googling ship before I keep watching because White Lotus Season one pissed me off so fucking much that because it was so stupid, and I was like I when I when I went to watch The Chippindale's Show on Hulu, I saw the first episode, like, I gotta fuck google this and see if it's real and see how fucking

dark it gets. Because if I don't want to watch this show, I want to make sure I don't watch this ship waste my time. Yeah, I think spoilers are actually very beneficial. Sometimes was based on the truth story if it's based on a truth story, but more so than not. But I also eight some of these TV shows that are just scripted reality television, like White Lotus, and um, I was like, I don't want to watch this bullshit. I want to watch something that's actually gonna

end with an interesting story. And so I go, I go, And I was reading about these dudes, these fucking idiots really just got played hardcore because they were just too good. They're two good men, yeah, but they were also Republicans, so they weren't that good, you know what I mean. But it was it was just an interesting thing to read about how fucked over they got, yes and uh and how bad Ray Crock sucked them over. And so that was like the last thing on my on my search,

and I got really into it. And then we watched the most of the movie and I think we might have even turned it off or we're kind of checking out by the end because it was so like, damn, this is just fucking sad. Now, dark, rich old guy was like, oh man, I'm I'm spiritually empty. Yeah, exactly, exactly. It's pretty common. So that was my last Google search. And you just despised White Lotus because it's just not nothing happened like the payoff of the murder and that

dead body in the first episode. I was like, Oh, we're gonna have like a murder mystery. Like, I'm down. I like knives Out, I like lass Onion, I like Clue and all that ship I'm down. And then it wasn't. It was just rich white people bickering and being spoiled little princesses. And I was like, that's literally reality television. That's the Kardashians, that's all it is. And I will

not shipped on the actors. The actors were all great, you know, they they do a good job, but the fucking story itself was pointless to me and then so curious, a cautionary tale about holding your blades down, so dumb. It was so stupid. Yeah, I kind of agreed, and I feel like season two they were like, all right, we need to give them like some real but I'm

already out. I'm already checked out. Season two. I didn't even give it a shot because I was like, no, they're gonna fucking more filler, no killer, you know what I mean, Like my special and hpop mask a bits grew up. It's all killer, no filler, all killer. I mixed that on rich white people. After succession. I was like, that's enough. I mean, you can only do it so much because I I never watched it because I was like, no, I can already tell this is not for me, and

white lotos was getting so much hype. I was like, let me watch this, and I was pissed because again like these these fucking ray croc It's like, okay, this this is a rich white person. Sorry, I want to I want to see because it's real and it's fucking crazy and it's foul and that's how you learn ship. Yeah, which, people of color looking at this CARDI v offset meal.

These meals are confusing to me. Why? Okay? So the meal is a cheese breaker with barbecue sauce and a large coke, a quarter pounder with cheese and a large high seat orange lava burst, which I know that was what was called. I was like, I'll just have a orange drink, a large dry and it might be the

title of the drink. But I think she's right. I think most people are like, well, just get an orange orange flavor is the color, but now I want yeah, right, So I guess what's confusing to me is this idea of like these are just basic menu options already available, and then the combinations aren't even like I never would have thought to put these together, Like wow, it's just you're eating what famous people eat. Yes, you're eating your favorite. Yeah,

you're eating their favorite. I mean, look, I I just I usually get the same ship when I go there. So it's like if my if I had a you know, a McDonald's male with my boot, it would be pretty boring ship. You know what is the Marcella a meal? It's to choose burgers, French fries, and a Coca cola, maybe an apple pie if I'm feeling crazy. Yeah, and I get extra pickles. That's the that's the key on there. And then he would get fish filet and um probably

also an orange drink. Just like that's where it's getting interesting. Fish it's interesting. So fish filet has been an underrated many times on this show. It's such a good Oh god. There was a there was a restaurant in Los Gatos where we were at this last weekend, and um, they like supposed we were like, we're selling the fancy fish filt, but they ran out so we didn't get to try it, but we were like, would just about to have fish

file at anyways at McDonald's ARISONA. No, they were restaurant in Los Gatos is like a fancy The vibe was weird in there when you walked into because you're just like, I don't know if I even want this from here. You know, people trying too hard ass restaurant, that type of ship restaurant, restaurant Cardian offset, okay, make the billionaires

more rich. Yeah, I am always intrigued when I hear about like a good McDonald's, Like we there there's one in Whales that is apparently the one person one food critic argues as the best restaurant in Wales. Dude, that's funny. I went to the headquarters in Chicago, this is where Boo lives, and they had special items like global items. Holy shit, they had some fun I don't know. Yeah, yes, it's I don't remember what it was, but they just

have like they just have weird. It's like, you know, every country, every place has like the things that they like, the meats that they like, and they just had like these special global menu items and we just ordered as money as the different ones we could. Sometimes they have like new items like they had I think donut holes or some ship. Yeah, yeah, I'm obsessed with McDonald stoop and waffle mcflurry. Victor says, okay the best. Yeah that

sucks because I can't have dairy. I'll ship my fucking pants off if all the way off shoot right off. But the Stroup people sounds hello, yeah that ship. Those cookies are fucking good. I just had a Stroup and waffle last night because I have to Target to try and get some Valentine's for my kids class, because we couldn't find the box that we have gone already. We both have a d D and and then so I didn't have anything to buy and I needed the validation

for the parking. So I've picked up a strip of wawful on the way up. There you go, you know it was all worth it, so good. Yes, this is this is absolutely an a d D thing to do, Like, Okay, I know I bought it already, it's here somewhere. It's too late. I can't count on finding it, because that's the worst. That's the worst, when you go, I'm gonna

put it here for safety or to remember. This is where I'll remember, here in this different spot that I've never put the thing, and I'll definitely remember, even though it's in a whole new spot, which that's how you forget. You're setting yourself up for failure. Is real, it's very real. What's your underrated? What's your overrated? My overrated? Today? Is Valentine? That necessary tomorrow. But I do want to just give

a shout out to Valentine's Day. I don't have any negative associations with Valentine's even though I've never been in a good, healthy relationship, I don't have any negative associations with it, and I want to. I want people to stop fucking shifting on Valentine's. They're like, oh, there's a couple of hole that bitch. We live in America. Every thing is a fucking capitalist something or other. Okay, stop backing like your lonely ass actually gives a funk about

Valentine's Day. You don't. You're sad and you're jail list and you're mad, and that's fine, but don't put that shot on everybody else. I have been single, damn near every Valentine's Day of my whole life, and I have never shipped on it because I think it's just great. It's about love and it's about candy, and that's fucking it. There's nothing to hate on in terms of And you also shouldn't. I agree that you shouldn't have to spend

money for Valentine's Day to be special. I do agree with that, but I also I'm just like, man, let these little kids have their fucking little candies and their little cards and their little moment and their little outfits, and and then the adults like, you know, if you're not if you're not taking that childhood vibe with it, then you're not doing it right. Okay, that's the chicken point.

It's really easy to be a fun Valentine's Day and be like, oh, you do you need a reason to express your love like dumb, Like here's all these cheesy berries, but like if you ever got a bear for some it's so cute, you like Oh my god, you it's so cute. It's like it to me. It is why more innocent holidays, you know, because you really can spend like five bucks and be like and put a smile on somebody's face, and like, you just really give people something cute candy with a cute character on it. Not

that big a deal. No one had to get nailed to a cross or killed for specific aesthetic like that only exists, and it's like pretty unspoiled. Like those the little kid Valentine's still look like they used to there, they look like shit, they're cute, but they don't. They're not like now the's light up there still look the same. They're still made of reused cardboard. There recycling before anyone else. So my overrated is people who think it's like cool

to shoot on Valentine's Day. It's not. It's stupid. You look fucking lame as fun. You look like a cornball virgin loser. That's how you look when you shoot on Valentine's Day. Okay, what does something you think is underrated? What do I think is underrated? I? Okay, So I grew up in the suburbs and there's like this trend all over social media to like act like eating it whatever.

Olive garden or some thing is like the lamest ship ever. Again, this is like the opposite of what I just said, but flip because I'm like, stop acting like having a decent meal for a reasonable price. It's fucking terrible. Like you go to these places olive garden, outback, steak house wherever,

there's always families in there. People are just spending time with each other, just having meals, laughter, you know whatever, love And I really I don't like this like trend on social media there, but it's like, ill you ate that sucking olive garden. Oh my god, it's sucking nasty bitch. There's a reason they're popular and that they're everywhere, like the the girls are going to Rawhan and being like this is my six hundred dollar ice cream Sunday exact

same people. Yea. When people are like it's so bleak in there, it's like you're just you're scared of poor people. You you find like the idea of not having money grow and that's what you're saying that what there are people in there who don't have as much money as you maybe and go, yeah, not everybody's gonna go to some fucking exactly. Nobody's gonna go to fucking Jose Andrea's restaurants every fucking chance they get. That's and that's fine.

That's like, you shouldn't look down on people because they that's where that's where the treat meal is for them there, you know, there's Sunday after church meal or whatever the funk Like, there is nothing wrong with people fucking spending a little bit of money because that's all they have, or even if that's what they want to eat. You know, even if you do have money, that's where you want to go. Fucking whatever. Man, I don't Also, have you all ever been teenagers? That was the time many like

our little restaurant or whatever. For this it felt like kings were really falling. We could smoke in a restaurant forget about it. Yes, was never enough, nobody, it was like what the fun mathematics with with a shared restaurant bill when you're in high school. It has never once been enough. Never never that. But that's what I'm saying. It's like that, ah that you know what, you know

what it is. Um. I think at the end of the day, and I think this is true for my stand up, and I think this is true just for how I live my life. I'm really tired of people being mad about the wrong ship. It's very exhausting that people spend so much energy on the wrong ship. Like you're really mad about Valentine's Day, bro, get a life. You're mad about families going to hometown buffet or whatever the funk. Like, dude, let people just have their little

pieces of enjoyment however they can get it. Like the world is hard enough, like the news is sad enough, and like that's the ship that you put your energy into. You're mad about the wrong ship. You've got to be mad about the right ship. You gotta learn how to like channel your anger, your energy, your negativity into the right places. Get out there, invote people. You Yeah, we used to, We used to hit there's an Applebee's in a strip mall and Lexman Kentucky with a cigarette machine

in the back and that every you know what. And that's actually that's the other thing too, is that I think that especially left wing liberals and ship there, they concentrate on like shipping on ship they shouldn't be shipping on.

And it turns people off, you know, and I think that's that's part of the problem that um, I think a lot of liberal Democratic people they focus too much energy on the stupidest ship, and it's like, bro, you can't get people on our side if you're going to shoot on like the things that they just simply enjoy on a weekly basis or whatever. The fun like sex scenes in movies. Yeah, that is puritantical movement of being like no more sex scenes ever, like children white. Yeah,

it's weird. Yeah, yeah, I feel like the liberal urge to make fun of Nascar is not is not good for the big D Democrat Party. It's also just like a thing. Yeah, people just enjoy their ship. Like, let people enjoy whatever it is they're like little pastime. Ship isn't actually affecting you, Like, why the funk are you mad about it? You know? Learn how to drive? How about that guy has learned how to be a but use your turning signal when you're supposed to about that?

Focus energy on that. Learn how to merge your car. Bro. The d l A don't even get Don't get Me started, Don't eat, Get Me Started one of my favorite and l sketches of all character so good. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about UFOs and we're back. Look at that. I got nothing else. I don't know what you say. Well, thank you for bringing us back from break. I'm out for

your job, bro. Yeah it's clear I'm paranoid. So I think everyone this, but yeah, you make it extra obvious. So I'll take your wife too, bitch. I'll take those kids. Do you think I will. I'm great with children, bro, especially little mixed one. Fascinating fucking test me, Jack. I mean, I've I've already expressed that I'm I'm all. I'm getting bullied by my four year old. So you and him will get along really well, love your four year old.

You guys will get along super well. Man the energy he used to roast me, I I actually just placed it. Have you ever seen the Will Ferrell sketch where he's like training the dog with sarcasm and he's like, oh, I get it. We'll just remember you're a fucking dog. It's like, oh, you wanted prime rib. Well, here's the deal. The palm wasn't taking reservations and has a new chef. And by the way, just remember you're a fucking dog. That was like the energy he was bringing it was yeah, dope,

it was. He was like, he's not normally like that, but he was like in this weird like kind of in between sleep and a wake space his teenage years. Jack, I'm gonna have to move out. I gonna get me the hell out. I mean, he is trying to get into our bed. That's what's happening. It's sleep training. He's a sick fuck. Okay, alright, let's talk about UFOs because the world just talking about UFOs daily. Zye geist has been talking about UFOs for a long time, so we're

once once again ahead of the zeitgeist. But this is so the timeline, the TikTok of it all is that the shotdown that Chinese by balloon, and then three more things, four more things over the past like following week, and everyone's like, oh, we're being invaded. And there was a White House press conference where Crane M. Pierre told the press there is no again, no indication of aliens or

extra terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. But then the US Air Force General specifically said that he hadn't ruled out extraterrestrials. Thank you for being honest with the public. Sirt. I don't think it's extra terrestrial. I think they know about some extraterrest realized ship like that they're not talking about.

But I feel like this is a bait and switch where they're like, this is skytrash, and we're shooting skytrash out of out of the air, and we want you to think this is maybe UFOs, and then we'll show you the you know, weather balloon that we shot all this just to throw us off later from when actual aliens get here. They're like, remember the skytrash, this is exactly what that was. Think aliens are already here and they know it personally, but it's do you think the

skytrash is from them? Then they themselves did it to distract from the from the China One. No, So I think what happened is the China One freaked them out.

They opened their aperture a little wider to be like, okay, we have to really be paying attention to the sky, like all of our like craadars, all of like our super you know, detailed cameras, and they started noticing things that they didn't notice before because they weren't looking for them basically, and like, this isn't just my theory, this is you know, this was when the Chinese spy balloon thing happened, a bunch of people were like, oh, this is going to lead to a bunch of false positives

because now everyone is just going to be looking more closely at everything that's in the sky, and apparently the sky is just lousy with balloons. There are reportedly thousands of yeah, exactly thousands of balloons above the earth. When the Chinese balloom was spotted, balloon experts immediately worried that the increased scrutiny of the skies could generate a paralyzing wave of false alarms. The National Weather Service alone launched

this sixty thousand balloons a year, what what ya? And they're just and and that's they're not the only ones who do it. It's to like see what's going on up there. Take samples to like see what how the wind is moving, because I think that is you know, what's happening at those high levels. The temperature, the like speed of the wind, all that ship like affects overall weather patterns. Right, sure, science absolutely, but then there's I still think that the Chinese balloon one was actually more

serious than they're willing to let on. And now they're like just putting these false ones up there. Whether they are putting them or there's some mother ship to distract um, I don't know. That's my conspiracy theory brand going. Yeah, there's apparently also private companies that will just send balloons up if you pay them to. One guy paid to loft a device that played allowed the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon to like freak out Superman.

I don't know, like who is up there that he's trying. People just like just do ship and say that they did it. There's no ramar reason for what the ship that they do. They just like to say that they did it. Yeah, and so the reason to a rom com and we're just not fully privy to why it

was so romantic yet. But he was like, no, babe, the dark yeah, in the clouds in the stratosphere, just for your babe was like a forced to meet cute with some chick he was trying to impress, maybe an alias, maybe an alien alien pussy And now he really wants it forever. Captain. I do feel like it, thank you, I do. I do feel like they're like, this is

good perspective. I think for people to like understand that the sky can be full of all of these things that are like the size of multiple busses or the size of, you know, a car, and you would have no idea because the sky is very big, and so there's just like so much stuff happening up there. But like, that was one of the things that as I was like working through my skepticism of like UFOs and stuff, that was something that I had to get my mind around.

It's just like, yeah, I know, the like let go of a my lar balloon and like it will disappear like fairly quickly, and that's as shiny as fun. But wasn't that one of the funniest things you did when you were a kid was let the balloon go and then just watch it until it disappeared. Yeah, it was fun. I didn't realize that was ballooning the earth, but I

loved it. Lets you know how small you are. It's interesting to me the number of science fiction stories coming out that we're now seeing sort of mirrored in reality. Thinking of like the whole there's now like a very intense fear in the population of like, Okay, our mushroom is going to take over our body now that we've overheated the earth. And I've seen several articles of scientists being like, I don't know, some weird things are happening

with mushrooms. It's crazy, like the Last of Us, And then Nope came out last year, and now all of a sudden, everyone's like, what's that thing in the sky? And I don't like it and I'm not sure what it is and it's creeping me out? Is it watching us? Is it evil? Is it impending war? Like? What's up there? It is? Nope is the first movie I remember that

like has a spoiler. I guess you can like move fifteen thirty seconds for but like it has a balloon ish type like UFO, Like it's not it's not an actual balloon, but there's like parts of it that are like thin and wispy and like definitely the most beautiful UFO I've ever seen, but also like different in makeup, all the all the rest had been like it's a

metal hockey puck or unique interpretation. Yeah, and now everyone's like balloons are UFOs, Which that makes sense to me because like the Last time that So the peaks and UFO sightings throughout like modern history were seventy eight and the nineties and is one close encounter the third kind came out, and the nineties was when the X Files and Independence Day also seventy eight and the night is some good drugs going on around that times. Yeah, some

of the some of our best drug years. But I don't know that people are also pointing out that we got more paranoid, just like when you look at psychological evaluations across the population, like during the pandemic. I'm gonna say the pandemic really heightened all that ship where it's like people are way more open with their conspiracy theories, which I think is fine because I think, you know, communicating your ideas is good with anybody, especially loved ones. Yeah,

get it out, let's talk it through. Um. I just I know my brother is definitely hoping their UFOs and aliens are coming. My brother loves aliens, so yeah, I just I don't think that if they could get here from a planet that is late years away, that they would also be so slow that we could shoot them

down with a gas powered aircraft. Like it just doesn't you know, like I think it's gonna be what if it's a full blown worm from their perspective, Like people always think aliens are fucking super intelligent, Maybe they're fucking not. You ever think about that, Jack, Do you ever think we're smarter than the aliens? Huh? But how they get here if they're If they're not smart, figured it out, they learned some other ship we don't have yet. Yeah, I mean, I totally. I My main belief is that

I don't know ship, and I'm probably wrong about everything. Yeah, but like the things that I think are more intriguing from an extraterrestrial standpoint, or like the tic TAC siting, where like that fighter jet came eye to eye with a inexplicable tic TAC that moved faster than anything should be able to give them the laws of physics, and like he saw it with his eyes and it wasn't like they locked onto some blurry object. He like saw it with his eyes, It circled him and then like

zipped off in a second. I'm like there are other examples of that, Like there's an astronaut who like when he was before he was an astronaut, when he was in the Air Force, like witnessed with his eyes a disc shaped like silver reflective thing, and like chased it with his plane for like a little while, and like those are the things that make the most sense to me. But I I also I don't know. I I totally get why people are are obsessed with this, but I

also feel you sound like you're obsessed. I am. I mean, I'm obsessed with UFOs and I think it's like the most interesting thing. Like we might as well be talking about them all the time, because it's like, if aliens exist in are here, Like, what's your alien fantasy, Jack, I need to hear it. My alien fantasy, like the sexual fantasy is open to interpretation. Yeah, no, I mean, I think the thing that's most intriguing to me about the idea of alien is And I've talked about this before,

so again, people can skip forward of this. They listen to this ship. This is what t DZ is really about,

Greedy of Jack O'Brien's brain. The thing that's most intriguing is that they have the technology to get here, They presumably have the technology to do anything to us that they want to do to us, And they've been here for a long time and they haven't done it, and therefore it makes me hopeful that they're just like viewing us and our military industrial because like if if our military industrial complex was right, and like you have to have the best weapons because therefore, like if you don't

have the best weapons, someone else going to kill you, Like the aliens who have the best technology would have killed us already, like that we wouldn't be here anymore. So the fact that they haven't but they've been here, I think is so we're like we're like a zoo to them. We're like we're like trapped animals and they're like, well there's that. They're not even worth doing anything too.

But they're fun to look at. Yeah, And and also maybe they're rooting for us because like the times, the places we saw the most strip like UFO activity was around, like nuclear weapons, so they were like just trying to make sure we didn't mess it up. I don't know, that's such a benevolent sort of look at what our relationship might be. You know, it's still like, oh, you know, they're all knowing and all powerful, but they're chill and

they're not really trying to interfere. I feel like they're probably more fifth dimensional, and they're like, listen, what a three dimensional thing? Like I it's weird and I can't really observe it with my five dimensional eyes. And I'm aware that they're they're but like, who hairs us with bacteria? Were like, as long as you're not causing us to be sick, like, go forth and do what you will. I guess, Oh that's interesting, Like this interesting? How about you?

I don't think about Aliens, bro, they kill you, they kill you. I don't give a ship. It's just like God, I don't know it. I don't understand it, and I don't question it. I just let it be all right. But I appreciate the conversation genuinely because I like the way people think about ship that doesn't like I don't think about like because, like I said, my brother loves Aliens and like that mother fuker will talk about that ship forever, and I find that so interesting. Yeah, yeah,

I find it interesting. That's why I don't think the TTZ fans should be fucking skipping forward. This ship is interesting. There's nothing wrong with having these types of conversations, you know. Yeah, yeah, I just have them a lot, I said, I love it good. All right, should we talk about Tesla real quick? Yeah, I'm mad you guys took out the Nicky Haley ship jokes lined up, we can also talk about Nicky Haley. Let's talk to Tesla and then and then moved to

Nikki Hally. So really, briefly, just the the movement or the the showdown between unions and the richest people on the planet is getting more clear more. You know, the lines are drawn. Workers at a Buffalo Tesla factory are launching a campaign to unionize, seeking better pay and benefits. The union drives being led by the plants software workers who helped develop driver assistance software for cars and reportedly make less than national averages and receive little sick time.

I'm sorry, but oh my god. You know, Tesla is the thing that for a long time you've just been like on the outside looking in, like this is a mess, This is a mess. Relt like, not only do you have you know, I'm not going to arm to your diagnose from my bedroom, but an unwell and probably unfit leader. And then on top of that, you know their workers are dealing with a lot of racism, and we know the hours are crazy. But then the product is also a disaster just looking at like the weird truck thing

they built. They're supposed to be instructible and definitely isn't the way, Like the driving cars have been imploding on themselves, like it's a hot mess over there. But then on top of that, to learn that not only is this company for the most part, you know, but for the Twitter fiasco was pretty financially like on an upward tick.

When you hear the companies have been making a lot of money and having all these advances and then completely screwing their employees, Like nothing makes me crazier than that, because of course then it's like, well, your downfall was inevitable. We know for a fact, when you don't take care of your workers, you can't produce quality products. But I actually think so Tesla Also the thing that this revealed

the story that I didn't realize. Tesla tracks their employees computer key strokes to monitor how they were, like forcing the employees to refrain from taking bathroom breaks. So like that that's the same ship as Amazon, right, Like so I think that a lot in a lot of cases, these like big tech behemoth like sexy Stock, you know, companies that drive this generational wealth that like makes Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos the richest people in the world.

Like their main innovation was using survey on technology to like treat people inhumanely. Like that that is there. They so like it works for a while because you get a lot of work out of people for little spending. But it's also like not sustainable and it's fucking inhumane

and we like shouldn't stand for it. It's no wonder Tesla is sucking a garbage product, like to find out there their employees are underpaid and constipated because like that thing is more stressful, the need to take a shit at work, and then you're like, I got time it out perfectly. And then if they're watching your key strokes, oh you can't even enjoy your little shit, right, yeah,

you just got that's crazy. That's why their product is ship because they won't let their employees to take comfortable ships. You gotta look out for your employees, man. The employees are ship by the end of the workdays. That's not good for the body. And they're not even getting paid, right,

So like, yeah, of course their products are garbage. So in case the idea of underpaid employees shipping themselves in a crowded office in the service of the richest man in the world somehow doesn't get you on their side. Tesla also has a history of blocking unionization efforts with intimidation. It was a fucking surprise, yeah exactly. Elamuk tweeted that employees that unionized would lose their stock options, and he was forced to delete the tweet by the n l RB.

But at the same time, if you're like one of those employees, the company doesn't really push back on these billionaires in any like meaningful way, So like you're kind of like, Okay, well he the company made him delete the tweet, but he still might do that ship. You know, it's crazy. I just feel bad because, you know, there's some areas where it's like there there's just not a lot of jobs, and like you just take the job

to take job. It's like, yeah, they're paying me nothing, but like I have to take this job because the only job I can get right now, and that sh it sucks. It's just so stressful. Being alive is stressful enough to do with all that extra bullshit. All right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back, We'll talk about Nicky Haley and Barney. Yeah, and we're back and we're back. Sorry, where you gonna, where you gonna? We're back, We're back back there. Uh So, Nicky Haley is officially

ready to be the Republican Canada for president. Yeah, let me get that sound on, like if you guys do like, but yeah, you need that's a good sound right there. I love the good town. She is the first major rival to challenge Trump. She made the announcement in the heavily produced video. I have not watched it yet. Have you guys watched it? I watched it. It's fun. It's so stupid, that's how fun it is. It's just dumb, she promised in there. Nothing that's what's fun about it.

I kept waiting for her to drop some policy ship and she was like, fucking conservative Barrock, just fucking just trust me. You just trust me, trust me. It was like the it's like the hope, but no, we got hope. It's like, no, we need we need fucking policy, we need some info. What do you fucking doing if we're black and we did it? Oh my god. I was Yeah, that's all it was that she's like one of the Republican Barack where it's like she's not and it's not

even empty promises. There's just nothing being promised. It's like we are loud and we are proud. Let's take it back what justds on? That makes sense for her party given that they're never going to trust a woman anyway. So she'll definitely bring a man in as vice president and he'll be like, who is Bush's boy? Who was

really running the show? Changing? Changing? Yes, Yeah, it's just it'll be in the Cheney part two, and it'll be horrifying if she has the right person more in saying yeah, absolutely. I just liked it because she was like, they called me the beast from the Southeast, and she's like, I thinks that's a great like point, Like she loves that they fucking used it. He just insulted her. I was like, I just want to come up with them and be like I'm the mong girl from Mississippi. Like she's like,

what are you advertising here, bitch? It's so stupid. So she talks about how she's the proud daughter of Indian immigrants, but also promises to secure our borders and strengthen our country. Doesn't say how doesn't say, how I promised to do it. That's what Trump did. He also promised to do it, didn't do ship. But it's it's interesting to think of somebody like this. This feels like the Pence thing and like Jeb Bush before her, and like where it's just

the old theory that we're going to triangulate. We're going to be racist while being a different race, or we're going to be like, you know, only take care of the rich while pretending to like Nascar. You know, it's like the just folding over of two impossible contradictory traits. But it you you have to be completely indirect and talk around everything of substance if you're going to do that.

And I feel like Trump has kind of made that sort of thing impossible, especially if you're like running in a race against him. Right, It's just there, it's going. It's lining up in a lot of ways, like the primary where he just kind of walked through, you know, because nobody was playing the same game and something exactly. And she and she's just saying fucking the most nonsensical ship.

She called Nancy Pelosia socialist. It was really funny. She's like, well, I know, right, she was like, look at these socialists or other funk and it was like, ac Bernie that the normal people that they you know, give that title too. And then Nancy Pelosi was also on there, and I was like, she is the most Republican Democrat bitch, Like you need to relax. They just know they're not supposed to like Nancy, she has no idea where her policy is. She has ever looked to see how Nancy has voted

in her entire life. She doesn't care. Yeah, I definitely felt like the girl's version of Trump, like just really just nothing. There was nothing going on. She trying to be like and I did it all wearing heels, like like she literally says that in the video, like I did it wearing heels, Like she's sucking ginger rogers, Like she's like she thinks that that's like the feminist angle to be wearing heels while taking people rights away, like so many women have decided not to like to stop

wearing he'lls you do not have to wear heels. Now, this is not the fifties, man, or the seventies or even the nineties. Nobody here is like, hey, you're not in heels. You don't belong in this like space as a woman. This is it's weird backwards thinking, and who are you selling on this really except maybe women over sixty. Well, the people that were mad about the Eminem's getting their heels taken away and they were like you know what, and you know and and those types of men. Yes, yes,

she'll also be speaking to them. That's the Green Eminem. The original Green Eminem is going to be her running partner. Did it both both did it with see? Yes, I mean that's what she's doing. She's like, I'm bringing sexy back. I'm just in timber Lake. It was so dumb. But she also and then I think today or yesterday, because you know, she obviously announced it. There's like an old video that got resurfaced of her defending the Confederate flag.

So that's the fun little video to watch. Yeah. She She also described that says she has seen evil it's China, and Iran says she's blessed to live in America because after a woman tells you about watching soldiers throw her baby into a fire, it puts things into perspective, which is, I don't know, I can't imagine. There's been another presidential

campaign that has referenced burning babies. Oh god. And you know in comedy, that's like such an easy thing, you dead baby joke, that's like, that's some of the most like shocked easy, like basic one on one comedy. So I love that she used that strategy for this campaign video. It's so funny. Yeah, and she was looking for a laugh. You could tell when she said that part of her

campaign that she was she wanted to laugh. She she should be the one writing for Roseanne bar for her new special because she just got and that just banger after banganger banger? Should we talk about special? Talk about it? So it's called canceled this have you have? You guys watched like there was a minute that was I watched the clip online. Yeah, when it came out, I was like, oh muggle. I couldn't believe what was the tweet? Somebody

was like, how do you make pigtails that hateful? It's bizarre and weird and pig tails just be like and I hate. I don't know. Everybody's like, you're saying, what is here? My favorite joke was a you're like the he she they then how about get a job, and then crowds like yeah, it's truly. Yeah, it's a satire of like what what passes for a comedy. It is airing on Fox Nation, by the way, of course it is.

I think it's so interesting is that Fox is like, Okay, so entertainment doesn't want to f with us because you know, that's it's a liability, and we recognize our listenership to be a minority in the market, so we'll develop a comedy space for them. And then none of their comedians are funny. But like, there's got to be such a debt. It's like the Christian people who would never play like read Harry Potter or go to the movies because I

thought it was about the devil. But now that J. K. Rowling is trans there, like no, we're gonna crack over the Harry Potter book like this is the truth. And it's like it's very strange how like clean they are to anything that sort of highlights their ideology. Yeah, they're like, it doesn't have to be good, you just have to say the sentence, you have to use those buzzwords that we prefer, just like anti everybody, and they just think

they're like, yeah, get a job, that's hilarious. Yeah, I know the Nazi comparisons are like overdone, but when you look at the rise of Nazism, like Hitler was obsessed with pop culture and like how to make Nazism more like pop culturally relevant and with you know, wanted to like was obsessed with Disney, was obsessed with Coca Cola.

Like that's that is the thing that like fascism always wants, because fascism is all like style over substance, and there's no substance behind the ideas, Like they want to be cool and to be culturally relevant. And I guess that, like Greg Gutt felt, the show got enough of an audience that they're like we got We're we're the new name in comedy, and so they're they've pulled in along

with Rosanne. I guess during the Super Bowl they were advertising shows featuring big stars like Jim Belushian dan ackroid That's a fucking bummer. I didn't know dan Ackroyd was like that. I mean, yeah, you didn't watch none of those shows he was on. It's pretty easy figure it out. I just I watched Ghostbuster. It's one of those things like is Dana Acrod like that or is he realizing he has an audience that is still like very active

in that space. I don't know crities like yeah, really okay, I don't don't know anything about Dannaard Soory wouldn't surprise me. But we definitely see celebrities like, well, that's where my audience is. And I mean, but that's the reality of stand up. That's that's the problem with stand up right now is that a lot of comedians have, because of Trump, had like a reckoning with the realization of who their

audience is. And um, it's been interesting watching which comedians are embracing that audience and which ones are kind of pushing back on that audience. And I find that very fascinating to watch it, just as someone who I did love all these people, like I did love Rosanne, I did love Danacrowd, like I did love these people growing up.

And to know that when they can, when they have a choice to make, they go against you, You're like, oh, okay, well fuck you do then like I don't, I don't know what to do and and and that's why it's like, I been interesting as a stand up specifically to watch comedy kind of become so fucking divided to the point where And let's be real, there's a lot of left wing comedians who aren't funny either, who are doing very similar pandering and and I feel like stand up has

really suffered in the last like five years because of what's going on political comedy comedy. I have to can I talk about the special? Oh yeah, keeps yelling at her audience for clapping at her jokes because like they're laughing and clapping, but clapping it was taking too much time because it takes up time. I'm sorry, and I'm not the like, that's again what problem I have with

a lot of comics. And Rosanne does it too, where she does a stupid, ignorant joke and then pauses for laughter to tell the audience, you, dumb fox you have this is where you're supposed to laugh because this joke is so not funny. I have to pause to indicate to you to laugh. A comedian doesn't do that. I was not doing that. If you knows that. In the special, I'm like, I get like my plas for a second, but that's it because I'm like, no, we gotta keep

this moving. I have thirty minutes of material and it was funny. I kind of regret not making a Claptor joke in that moment because none motherfucker's religious fun and which is nice, but it does take up a lot of time. And I'm I don't do Claptor comedy. I fucking write jokes that are funny, and I'm not trying

to pander to anybody. Yeah, And and so when I think that a lot of left wing comedians also need to reckon with the fact that they're not writing jokes, they're pandering, you know, and they're doing that Claptor ship, and that's what Roseanne is doing. And I kind of like that this ship is online so that people can see what really really bad comedy is, you know. And it's like, if that's what you like, man, you fucking you got a lot more problems than just you know

who you enjoy and as entertainers. Yeah, she at one point says she made the special because she's not going to let rich, privileged assholes win. But she is like the thing that made her less popular was the general public,

not like oil tycoons. And by the way, like the majority of the conservative media apparatus is built up by oil and natural gas, Like that's it's like the Koch brothers make it possible for you to have the special But that's like, what's funny about you know, um, a lot of these right wingers that they're they're willing to say at actual lie. They know that's not true, and they'll say it to pander to, you know, the poorer Republicans to be like no, no, no, I'm just like you.

It's like, bitch, you are a rich, spoiled asshole. What are you talking about? That's what exactly what you are. Yeah, it's it's weird that they can do it directly in front of people's faces, though, which is I do that's a reflection of like that's c RT is right Republicans being like, no, we can't have this history, this supposed history that's fully racist. Like bro, that's just history period, Like that's the truth and they don't want to accept that.

That's that doesn't exist without the other ship and like that. But that's the reality of being a Republican, just lying to yourself saying whatever the fuck, it doesn't matter. People correct you, It doesn't matter. People come with you with the facts because they have their alternative facts. Because it's like that they had to literally rebrand their their their pathological lying and it's wild to watch and it continues. Yeah,

I mean the delusion again. I just feel like when I had no money, I recognize money when I saw it, you know what I mean, Like it was never confusing to me to be like, Okay, that is a tailored suit with really expensive fabric. I can see your haircut. It costs a lot of money. You're clearly you know, whatever skinned regiment you're on is not cheap, like you

reek of money. You can see it everywhere, and I you would think it would be more noticeable for those who don't have it, but like something is happening over on that side where there like just mystified by and they're like, no, these are like good salt of the earth people, and or they somehow they're perceived intelligence and and makes them worthy and their whiteness and their prosing whiteness makes them worthy of having just this money and they should have it, and for whatever reason is not

morally objectionable. When these people do it, they want they want to believe that like they're headed to that same place. But it's also impossible to tell that Rosanne is not salt of the earth because she has those pigtails on and overall it's really selling the image. Yeah yeah, Marcella as always such a pleasure having you. Oh, thank you so much, Thank you so much. It's a blessing to be here with y'all. Where can people find you? Follow

I'm gonna do a dramatic reading of some of the clips from this interview. It's from the cut. Here we go in conversation Major's ebbs

and flows between being central and cerebral. What you made be surprised to learn He is a poet, having recently published two poems in The New Republic. He says, I don't want to know if you like it or not. I really don't care more than each at the time to read it when the author tells him I'm familiar with his work. The ceramic mug he snuck into the exhibit is quote his thing. He's been carrying around a cup of some sort for the past five years because

it brings him comfort. It does determine what code side by, he says, it's got to fit in there. He also says he falls in love every day, life is so beautiful, loves everywhere. He wants to be in rom commons. His favorite romantic films are The Notebook, Love Jones, Blue Valentine, Love and Basketball, and he wants romantic movie soundtracks to

get better like they were before. His best thing about flirting, he says, if you send a text message with a song, My song of choice would be come Over by Aliyah, then only wear sweatpants, then watch Love Jones, Flash, Love and Basketball, and after that the song you should be playing is whenever, wherever, whatever, by Maxwell. That's how he wants you to flirt with him. He says he would die if a woman did this. He cries, guys every day,

Johnson Majors is the US. We need a no hitter of like hot, just like all the answers are just like right down, so corny hot, were so corny, we're hany jailbird? Who boxes? Who's half naked?

I just I just appreciate the love her. She's the best, funny, pretty so funny. But yeah, I think that ready tidy lefty Lucy probably goes through my brain like on an almost daily basis. I'm not fam there with the expression,

oh really not at all. Anytime built furniture, Yeah, anytime you're turning a screw, turning like the handle of a hose or the faucet of a hose, turning any faucet, it's right e tidy to close it, lefty lucy to open it.

I mean that's also how you know I'm a child of immigrants, because we don't have those dumb fucking yeah saying everything is like super intense sayings, but like, yeah, saying but that's cool.
