I'm John Lovitt, and Andy Rooney Walk, so I could run. We've got a great show for you tonight, but first, let's get into it. What a week And what a week it has been for people getting big jobs that make everybody big mad. On Tuesday, Trump named financier and one of his donors, Bill Pulty, who is his current housing finance director to be director of National intelligence Polty pictured here making the same face we all did upon finding out that Trump had named Bill Pulty to be acting director of National intntelligence. Hey, you know that job that you were going to apply for that says you need three to five years of experience, but you only had one year of experience and you didn't apply, send in that resume, baby B bet on yourself. Fulty has no national security or intelligence experience, and his iPad password is his birthday, said a Chinese spy, laughing with the other spies What Pulty lacks an experience he makes up for and a willingness to do Trump's bidding, Pulty used confidential mortgage information to target Trump's political enemies, including Nework Attorney General Tish James, the Fed's Lisa Cook, and vegan Senator Adam Schiff. And by the way Polty's not even particularly good at this The charges against James were dismissed, and then a grand jury refused to return a new indictment. None of the other referrals to DOJ have at least so far resulted in any charges. All of this has led to an open investigation by the goovernment accccountability Office into Bill Polty into how he accessed private mortgage data and subverted the inspector general to make these criminal referrals. So Polty is not even competent at being a Trump stooch, but maybe just hasn't found his special talally yet. Maybe his innate gift is integrating foreign military and domestic intelligence from eighteen different agencies, and he's just never had the chance. Like that time they let me pitch one time in Little Lague assuming Be bad because I was small and gay and bad But then I threw a heater and I saw the two coaches give each other a look that was like, My, that little fuck can throw And then I stopped playing sports forever. That was the first one. Several Republicans were less than psyched about the pick. Senate majority Leer John Thoune told reporters, quote, We don't need a weaponized DNI. Polty responded by saying that Thoe is really starting to sound like the type of guy that commits mortgage fraud Mitch McConnell said that the DNI must have a quote, extensive national security experience and that no nominee who falls short of this requirement will earn my vote. And I know a thing or two about falling short, said McConnell, coming to at the bottom of a staircase One person close to Pultty explained the decision to CNN, saying, this isn't something to overthink. President Trump wanted someone in that position who is a true loyalist. Poutty speaks to the president more than anyone I know They really are very close, said Don Junr., staring at an empty wedding chair Even without Senate confirmation, Polty could serve as acting intelligence chief through the midterm elections, which seems to be the goal. Here's what Trump said when asked why he chose this unqualified person. Al he's very smart. He's a person who's got high integrity And it's an acting position. It's not a permanent. He's not going to be permanent because you know, I don't think he'd want to be permanent. But he's a very smart guy and he may find out some things about the rigged elections etcetera, et cetera Don't worry, he won't be in the job long, just long enough to fulfill your worst possible fears In other cursed LinkedIn news over at the Pentagon, the Trump administration appointed a convicted january sixth rioter to be part of a counter terrorism office involved in sensitive operations, including, according to the post, emmbassy security and hostage rescue This guy does seem more qualified than Pulty though. when you think about it, he knows how to navigate the security of government facilities. and if the insurrectionist had actually found Mike Pence, he might have had some pretty good experience negotiating a hostage release as well You know, they would have because they would have grabed, tried. you know grab them, because I want Wean to fucking kill it Theyed They were trying to find the vice president to fucking kill him. They wanted to kill him dead. I a shit on Nancy Pelosi's desk too And that part was cool. Here's this rioter, Elias Irizari in the middle of storming the Citol when he was nineteen. You know what? I just think it's nice to see a teenager off his phone, part of a community, in the real world. According to prosecutors, Irizari entered the building through a broken window while wielding a metal pole that we didn't personally hit anybody with it. Sometimes just having the poll in your hand is enough. Happy pride. It's worth saying, Irzare expressed regret almost immediately. He described his decision to be part of the riot as, quote, the worst mistake of my life. He called january sixth the largest attack on our democracy since the Civil War, and he said that the very response to january sixth proves that as a country, we are still strong in our democratic values On the other hand, prosecutors said there was a gap on his phone between january one and january eighth, suggesting he may have deleted messages related to how he was involved in the insurrection. And if Izari was so changed by january sixth and so appreciative of the response, it's a bit strange to then take a job for the guy who pardoned everyone involved, including him, claims the whole thing is a hoax and just tried to steal one point eight billion dollars from taxpayers for an insurrectionist relief fund Regardless, I don't think one mistake should define you for the rest of your life. I do think one mistake should rule out sensitive counter tterrorism jobs at the Defense Department We don't even know if the guy has basic Pentagon skills, like how many gin and tonics can he put down before lunch And then there's the drama at sixty minutes, thanks to Happy Pride. CBS News, editor in chief, Berry Weiss Really defying the stereotype about lesbians being good at fixing stuff. Last week, Weiss tapped Nick Bilton to be the new executive producer of Sixty Minutes Builton was one of five flawed children to find a golden ticket in a chocolate bar. Now Bilton is a tech reporter, he became a filmmaker. He doesn't have any TV news experience and will take over the job from Tanya Simon, who's been ousted from the show after more than thirty years Bilton, who I need to disclose to all of you, is a friend of mine and was invited to my wedding and who I did have to bump to RSCP started the job on Monday, and I'm sorry, but a program like sixixty Minutes needs the kind of executive producer who RSPs to a wedding on time. In that first staff meeting, sixty Mutes correspondent Scott Pelly interrupted Bilton to say that Weiss quote, does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that. Which is shocking to hear. Usually the only thing lesbians kill is the vibe Take that, lesbians Pelley also asked Bilton, who again started that morning, why he had accepted a position at sixty minutes knowing that you will never be welcome here. Continued Pelly, no one here will ever tell you where the bathrooms are. We have taken down all the signs like the Ukrainians during the Russian invasion. You will be holding it for the rest of your fucking life In the exchange, Bilton apparently said, quote, I care so deeply about this institution, only for Pelly to interrupt with oh, please At which point Bilton started slapping himself in the face trying to wake up from what must be a first day of work nightmare. Bilton was naked, by the way, and his first grade teacher was trying to get at his teeth Scott Pelly, meanwhile, is in this meeting like a sixty minutes gundam. You're not just talking to me. You're facing the full powers of all sixty minutes correspondents living and dead. And right now I'm combining the powers of Anderson Cooper and Andy Rooney Gay hunt second one Teddy that was the second one think we' good You'rekay, stop, we're good. you guys. Yeah, you're great He's doing great. He's doing great. On Tuesday, next second day. CBS fired Scott Pelley after thirty seven years at the network and Pelly's already been replaced by it says here, housing finance director Bill Bolty. Oh no Now maybe Nick would have been in a more forgiving mood about Pelly's diatribe if he had made it to my wedding. There was a blueberry walnut cake with a lemon buttercream. We had clowns We did we had clowns at my wedding. N never seen clowns at a wedding before Byday by Wednesday, Nick's third day, Pelly responded with a letter lambesting the network for firing the show's senior leadership and two of its correspondents saying, quote, good people were silenced because they stood for fairness and against the forces of political bias. I texted Nick and this is real. hump day No response. mayaybe not in a joking mood just yet. I get it . On Thursday, Bilton emailed sixty minute staffers reassuring them that the show will continue in good faith, respect and trust while praising Bill Whitaker, John Wortham, and Leslie Stahall Oh, that's actually nice to hear, said Leslie Stahall from inside the air duct on the eleventh floor of Black Rock just above Nick Bilton's new office, rememoving her balacava and recorking that jar of fire ants Nagg get out lesson But I, for one, am looking forward to the new sixty minutes. I'm Penny Wise the Clown. I'm Darth Maul. I'm Kyle Rittenhouse, those stories in Ricky Gervase tonight on sixty Minutes. And we've got a great show for you tonight.

Do you wna know why?? I'll tell you partially why. I watched you on L Cic Standing The very first time you're on it. thank you. And I remember thinking Uh, you're not as funny as Doubt fan. No So I think it all made sense what happened Thank you Hey, you like social media W no, you made this way.re you're like you're doing you're going for it with you're really doing bits on there. You're really pushing it.. Not that you need this answer, but during the pandemic, I stumbled upon TikTok and I was like one of the only comedians. I wasn't, I liked it. You know, there's a lot of garbage on every. There's a lot of garbage on television. There's a lot of garbage comedians, There's a of garbage music. But if you sift through it and you find the gems So I wasn't mad at it. I thought to be honest, I thought it could be really funny and also sweet and kind. So I jumped in. I wasn't Like when I did Twitter, it wasn't like it was okay, but I wasn't like, you know, it wasn't my favorite thing to do, but I'm a bit person. So u I've been having a ball over there. So lets let's show one of really funny. This is You had a ring doorbell.s let's roll the climip Hello Do you have a black Prius? There's a black Prius with its lights on. I figure I'd save someone a dead battery. I don't know if that's you. No. Okaykay All right, have a good night. All right, thanks a lot. Okay. Okay. This mother fucker can't even say than to you. Is sitting your house with your pencil dick and your stupid wife and I hope you haven't fucked in twenty years Okay My cat gets in every video that he possibly can. So I like this video,s because it's funny That's the first thing about it. That's what I always go for. I think it's funny. But I also appreciate it because I feel like what I see I see you feel People are getting ruder all the time and it's driving you crazy. Is that right? Do you feel that? there's something It feels like you're attacking a kind of rudeness that you're experiencing But yeah, but I don't know if it's getting worse. I think it's always been. you know, there's always think it's getting worse. No, I don't. Do you think it's getting worse? You don't. I don't That's good. I think it is. You do. Ohh yeah. really? I think people are not getting meaner. I think they're getting more ostentatiously oblivious about other people. And most people agree with you That's not a good sign Right Be most people are usually I could be wrong, right? Well it could be just an it could be that we're just seeing more people and experiencing more Yeah What do you think You know, don't I don't want to sound argumentative, but I always like no, I don't think most of the time when people go Oh, it's getting worse. I go where people used to be nicer. There was more of a civility back in the day. but I don't think so lookook at some of the things we did. So I don't know. I think there's always been nice people. there's always been kind people, but I am making fun of that of the You know, whenever you do something nice for someone and just no thank you. You know, when you let someone in in traffic, you ever let somebody in, it's like, what the fuck? You know, it's like give me a thank you, you know? Y I practice and it's unhealthy What I call road justice And that is where I to be I try to make sure the roads are fair. And so I try to be really generous when I think the situation is called for. But I also try to make sure that we're exacting penalties for misbehavior. And I know that's wrong. I know it's wrong. It's a bad part of my brain. It's bad. and I know I'm gonna get killed, but I like it. But it's in there And so I like letting people in and then you're like, wow, it feels like there's like if people understood how good it felt to let people in, they might do it more Yeah instead of what they're doing out there on the roads these days. Yeah. Yeah, it always feels good to let somebody There was a guy the other day. I let him in and he didn't thank me. I'm like, this fuck And then he opened his window and waved at me. and I started to tear up. I'm like, Oh, I was humanity. Now we're dating. Now you're dating. We're having clowns at our wedding I'm paying attention, you people. Remember when you came out on Markc Maron's podcast in twenty twelve? I do, I do. Were you hoping he would also come out? No or Ive had that happen when I was younger when Ive started to tell people. and I was so nervous but I would have like a crush on somebody and I thought they were And then I would tell them and then they would not be gay. And then I was like,, I wasted this tell Yeah, you just opened up for no reason. Yeah. You just let somebody into your inner experience and got closer to them for no purpose. Right, Right exactly. What a shame. No, Mark, doing that was the best thing I ever did because before that, I really thought I was going go to my death with it The being in the closet I justy. I had I had a plan. Now look, I have perspective now and it's years later and andm but I had a plan. I'm not even making this up. like it sounds absurd how I could hide for the rest of my life, and that I was going to meet a girl that somehow I don't had cancer Okay. Right, You get where I'm going with this. And then when I didn't think about the person or the life, it so it's not I wasn't being mean, but that she would die And then people go, how come Todd never got married? And he never got over Rachel I never got over Rachel. And I'm not even Jan. that was like a planant. And my brother once later, he goes, well, how were you gonna to meet a girl with cancer? I go please, I didn't think about it. I go to the hospital, you Maybe this is Gip. I think that's the easiest part. meeting the growth cancer? Yeah. Then what's the hard part? Well, I think hiding who you truly are for the rest of your life? Yes, that was true. I thought that part was That was pretty clear. I got comfortable in the lie, but it was great. I got in the car. You know what? seriously, I got in the car after I did it. I went on a podcast and did it the Mor Marin showhow. Ugly cried O for about sixty seconds And I was so happy. You had to get it was over. And it was over. and it was the best thing I ever did. And I was very nervous to do it, obviously Yeah, I I remember I've I remember when you came out and I remember thinking, oh, look, because I remember when I saw you whether it was on lastast C Sndy or other kind of standu appearances that I was like I just thought of you as a straight guy, but I really liked you. And I realize now in hindsight, like, oh, there was a frequency there because you were you were doing bits about Andrea, which was really about your long term partner who was a man the whole time. Right. And I feel like there must have do you hear that from people who kind of like Do you have a gay fan base at all? they're like, you know what I kind of I didn't know but I kind of on some level knew Allright Some people said I talked about a girlfriend more than any comedians that had girlfriends But there were true stories. I just switched the sex, which is really indirectly, you know sort of an experiment that I didn't know that I was conducting, is that no one in the audience ever went The guy was talking about his girlfriend because it was really about a guy. Nobodybody went I just didn't relate. All his stories didn't set. They were all like, oh my God, it's exactly like us. Everybody in the crowd applauding every. This is just like us. this guy and his girlfriend. Meanhile I'm talking about a guy which sort of says relationships are relationships. I wonder if on some of like this isn't Can we do that again and you' all applaud You show some goddamn respect You show some But anyway, other than that, I feel good But I wonder if on some of those likebody doesn't ring true about this guy. He doesn't hate his girlfriend enough. You know,? like he seems to have a pretty sort of swweet and generous relationship with this woman. and that's not the usual tone from these comedians. usually they fucking hate their wives. Yeah, something's going on here. Yeah, a lot of guys they're worried about they' always worried that gay people marry But they're going to ruin the sanctity of marriage. You know, gay people. And I'm like, I think you guys are doing a great job all by yourselves The way you talk about women and the way the ball in chain and every joke, the sexist jokes, It's like, don, you don't need gay people to ruin the sanctity of marage. We'll be back right after this. Now Todd, it's Pride Month. Yes, it is. And you know what that means Discourse. That's what we're gonna talk about in a segment. We're calling breaking the glass ceiling. I like it Yeah G it Let's start with an easy one. What do you think about the word queer you know, uh, I'm afraid I might not agree with you. No, there's nothing to be afraid of. I I wouldn't You know, for me, obviously, the first reaction is why? Like queer is just so negative and queer. but I don't I'm okay with that some people want to use that word. And I think the problem I know that who I am in awe of who said Davidsar. Right, right, right. So that's also I knowt. But I think when you say, o, you know, like, oh, now they're calling it this and now they're calling it that, you sort of feed for the lack of a better way to say, you feed idiots that don't want to learn any new verbiage. So when you go when someone goes, o, yeah, now they're calling it this. you can't even keep up with it. It feeds people that don't want to learn anything. So I'm like, I wouldn't call myself queer, you know, because for me, it's always negative in my mind.re queer. It's like worse than you know using gay as a pejorative other people are, I'm fine with it I'm absolutely flyine with it. Yeah, I remember when I was first coming out and at school and there was like the queer student union. and the word queer never felt right for me. It just didn't neither. Right. But there's something interesting about that, which is part of it, like I feel I go back and forth and which is like, why does it not feel totally right for me And even if like there's a lot of things that would apply to me that I might not go to, but they don't feel weird. Like I would call myself gay. I wouldn't necessarily go to queer right away. But there is a discomfort I feel in the word even now that I don't totally understand. And part of it is because I know other people are uncomfortable with it. and I'm like, no, I want to put B foot forward. It was like, whyy am I performing for the other people who don't like the word? They don't like anything You know, And that's confusing. Right. And also the people that are referencing themselves as queer, they're not saying everybody has to. It's just. And you know, a lot of times if you do the homework, including me, I haven't, like, you know, why it was called You know, maybe this is a lighter, but why is it's called a maid than housekeeper or a fled. If you do a little work and you research it, you'll sometimes get an answer.re like, o, okay, before you just go, you know, I don't like it. But like I said, I wouldn't reference myself that But if people do I have no problem with it. This week, the official exX account for Representative Andy Ogles tweeted,Qote, Homosexuality has no place in America. Happy nuclear Family Month Uh now Look at this what that just looks exactly like you'd think a guy what a guy named Andy Ogle, sweeting anti anti gay shit would look like. Now here's what's interesting He was criticized by a bunch of Republicans, including Ted Cruz And Cruz said For all of recorded history, homosexuals have been part of humanity. I am quite libertarian by nature. I think this behavior of consenting adults is their business. Isn't that interesting from someone like Ted Crz? So this guy deleted it He had he felt he had to delete it. And then he blamed his snap. He said, I was working on my farm and my phone began going crazy. yeep because of a post made by a member of my comms team. The post was stupid Hur goal and completely distracting from my America first focus, the employee has been reprimanded. Happy pride.. It is interesting that Republicans now even like this this was happy a nuclear family month, Gay people are terrible. Like that was sort of You know, that was an appetizer back in the day, like that was sort of completely normal, but now they feel like they got to run from it. That's interesting Yeah, well, they some, you know, the problem is a lot of them don't feel it from their heart. So that's why they They say these things, but they don't feel it. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's why a lot of times I think when I see someone that's having trouble with issues of today, you know, like whatever's on the plate and they're complaining about it, they're probably not all right. Like there's a lot of people that' not okay with gay people They're not okay with gay marriage. They're just done complaining about it, but they don't behind closed doors. They're not okay with it So that's why they get when you see especially comics that are getting madder and madder and madder at change, it's because they're not all right with the change that started thirty years ago I'm not mad at change I don't mind growing as I get older. I don't mind changing my beliefs. If anything, it's probably good You know? So these when you see people that are angry at what is on the plate today, like, o o, they're still angry. And that's why when gay people or giving a new group a hard time. I'm like, what the fuck Like, you know, come on, you're not supposed to do this to the new group You know, and you give you give you give merit. They're like, even gay people aren't okay with that, you know So yeah,'m I'm not the angrier you see someone, I'm telling you, like I have some gay friends that are not all right with some of the how people identify it day and I go, Oh, you know, come on, please. you just You know, this is not what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to not give the new group a hard time. Hey Trump's treasury seecretary Scott Besscent whoo's been pushing for a Trump two hundred and fifty dollars bill, he's gay. Let me see him. Oh You think that's progress? B 's He's gay. He also threatened to beat up Bill Pulty, Bill Pouultty, the housing finance director. And Scott Besson was asked, Hey, did you threaten to punch Bill Pultty in the face? And he said, no, that's not correct. I threatened to kick his ass Which is honestly a banger from Scott Besscent. That's very funny. That was very funny. But he also is this kind of gay person. And I don't know, I don't know If you saw this the kind of person that's holding up a do two hundred fifty dollars bill with Donald Trump's face on it, making that expression while defending tariffs and the most corrupt and. disastrous administration in the history of the public. Is he welcome at Pride? Yes, everybody is. I know it's such a bummer. I openly gay? Openly. And for a long time Wow. well, and he's a Republican. Yeah Well, ye go Thank you to Todd Glass. Thank you. Check out his stand upp and get tickets to Todglass dot com and we come back Flareak he joins. Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of loveove it or Leave it coming up Love to leave it brought you Ziotics I' tell you about the g changing product I use before night out drinks. it's called pre alcohol. just got married had a bunch of there for people. Pe loved it. I was telling the next day. Boy, I like that Zbiotics reallyally helps Zbiotics, pre alcohol probiotic drink is the world' firsts genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD, scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink alcohol gets converted into a toxic byroduct in the gut.

Please welcome to the stage. She's a hilarious standup. She has a great podcast and I'm sure she's a third thing too. It's Pler Sakkey Alli, thanks for being here Hi Blair, good to see you again. Great to see you, John. Hello. Hey, so you're a busy gal. I am a busy gal. Thank you for saying so. You're doing stand upp. Yeah You doing your podcast? I am. And you have autism. I do Thank you. Did you know Did you have clues before you got an actual evaluation? Yeah, well, I actually wouldn't have thought that I had it because I am a jock and I went to prom three times But I started having all these people come up to me after my shows and be like autism and I was like, What are they seeing? And then I started thinking about it, well, if I'm going to have a kid maybe it would be a good thing to find out. And so then I ended up getting evaluated. Looking in hindsight, there were many things, yeah. Yeah. Like how I had to apologize to all my stuffed animals every time I left the house O why my mom back then we had VCRs and my mom had in a cabinet on the floor. So when I was three years old, I would rewind the wicked witch part of the W it a bz over and over and she was scared You know, we when I was growing up U My dad was a salesman. box salesman at a box factory, but you know, there's an old thing you can always sell a salesman And so he bought a laser disc player because they were going to be the thing. Rememberiant basically they were giant CDs. Yeah Giant CD's, the size of a record and halfway through the movie you did have to flip them But we had we only ended up having one laser disc and it was home alone. Oh. And we would watch this one scene where Catherine O'Hara was trying to barter to get on the plane. and she wass trying to sell her earrings. and this old guy was like, she's got a great old box of them, little dangly ones. And I would watch little dangly ones over and over and over again. Well, it was funny because I remember with Ron Funches, who later also got diagnosed. I opened for him for years. and he was like, yeah, well, and this was right before I was about to get evaluated. I think it was already set up And we're at lunch and he was like, yeah, one of the first signs was when my son He would rewind the same scene over in a movie. And I was like, o, I did that. He's like, no, same scene. I was like, no, I did that. lot. I was like, what? That's a sign? And yeah, so. you know Todd came out as gay late in life, you know, later in life, twenty twelve, not late in life You came out as autistic. I know we're all sharing a lot today. You know, mister Rogers said, if it's mentionable, it's manageable So whenever I share stuff, I go, whyy am I sharing all this stuff? I go, becausecauseuse if you mention, he can manage it, those words have stuck with me since I heard that quote. It's great. That's so true, yeah You know what? I'm gonna say this, I'm not a fan of mister Rogers. No, shut up I'm kidding. Oh my God, I thought you were serious. That was so fun. I've never thought to do that before. mrter Rogers, I don't think he was very good Well, by the way, there are a lot of people when I grew up, they didn't They didn't. When I was growing up, a lot of people just start he wasn't in not everybody was in awe of him back then. There were people like he was too You know, Yeahah, he was too feminine. he was too Yeah,'s it's interesting to remember that because now, of course, you know That I watched the shit out of that show. too. Remember the crayons? My favorite part was when they would go into like the little play Land Yeah He would do all the voices, incredible performer. Amazing. I have a question for you So after you found it out, has it helped you at all? like in certain ways Of course you understand things. as it helped you maybe navigate a little easier through life? Yeah, I mean, it's given me a lot of peace and context because I think older generations are like, why do you guys need to find out? And it's like, well, one, now I know why I have believed everything every straight man has ever told me because I don't lie, so I just assume words mean words then People think you're stuid and it's like, I'm not stupid. I was a very good student. I just, you know, there's certain things. It's like called purity of perception. There's all sorts of things. I get more tired than my colleagues. Yeah. because we're fifty percent more processing, John, you know Yeah, I've never really been diagnosed. but I diagnose you. Yeah. I just think it's so clear Yeah. I mean, I don't want to belittle the diagnosis by claiming it because I simply can't. R. I can tell you about the difference between the Boeing seven seven seven and the airbus A three hundred fifty, nine hundred. I can tell the difference between the airbus A three hundred fifty, nine hundred and the one thousand, but I've never been diagnosed. R anythingthing u . Are you watching Real Housewys of Rhode Island? I am. Holy shit, it's good. Yeah, I mean, this is this is the best franchise launch, I think in the history. 'cause there's something so authentic about that show where it does feel like even though in case you audience aren't watching, it feels like the early two thousands somehow Yes. It feels like back in time. Yes. it's like they it's like somehow you just They should have flip phones. Yeah. The idea that they should not be allowed they shouldn't be texting or using apps. L these women have flip phones. Yes. These women are printing out map questests to get from their house. one hundred percent. They are not on the web. Their accents are incredible. Just all their really regional specific stuff is so interesting to me. Did you know the term slam pig I hadn't heard sllamppig, but I was delighted. It's now sllamp Slamppig summer. Whatlampigs. does it mean? Its just, I think it just means slut Or maybe like slut in a kind of chubby way? Well No. It doesn't mean just tubby slut. Kelsey actually a very trim figure, but I'm not say I'm not saying it's a No, I didn't say you said that. I'm not saying it's fair to call anyone a slam pig or I'm not even evaluating who is or track. sl pig. I'm just saying that if I were say, what is a slam pig? it's a slut with some meat on their bones. Right. But actually what they distilled it down to on the show, a slam pig was that they got a paid to have sex so she was insinuating, I think No so I thought that was prostit less nice way. in the fight. Chubby Sut was my I had a grunge. I couldn't let my stupid f of my head up I don't need to say. Why? Chubb Chubby Sut was actually Chubby slut. Saying it to the mic talk glass. Chubby Sut, go on. Could you say it then o like, I'm at least coming in fresh? Yeah. So Chubby slut. Chubby slut. Actually, that was my grunge band in high school. Yeah. That's real? No Oh, see? it just happened. No, it was really good. It was really good. I believed him Wow I know. It's frustrating. You've got it bad. But You're telling me. Blar says here your podcasts about pop culture, mental health, and weird facts about aliens. However, there are no such things as facts about aliens. There is truly not a one. Do you think that Is that your position? Yes. That there are no aliens? My position is that there are currently no facts about aliens Other than they may exist Right. That's where I'm at. Okay. So agagnostic. Yeah, That's right. So what do you feel about the government releasing slow releasing UAP stauff I think it's the kind of thing where if there was clear proof that aliens existed, it would be clear proof that aliens existed and wouldn't be debatable you know, if like, for example, like if You don't even do aliens, L Um has a plane load of French acrobats landed in California. and it's like, there are rumors that they are. And actually I saw a little bit of there was a little one of those what do they throw the acrobats What are those things called little bats P Pins. Oh there was a sighting of a pin. It's blurry, but it's definitely a pin. Like, no, if there are French acrobuts wandering around Los Angeles, we'll see them and we'll know for sure. So why can we know with French acrobats? but we can't know with aliens? You know what I'm saying? Well, I feel like I do know what you're saying there and I appreciate your unique metaphor I feel like there is a little bit more weight of what that could mean and how that could change society than if French acrobats landed. I agree with that. I agree with that completely. Yeah. I'm just my view of the whole thing is Why Like it's not just that they are aliens and it's not just that they're here It's that They don't necessarily want us to know that they're here and they're just good enough at hiding that we only get the barest of hints Full stop. Like if aliens are trying to keep themselves from us, there would be a range of acts and they're not perfect at it, which is what the claim would have to be. That would mean that they are perfect at getting it to the point where we almost don't know they're here, but just get whispers. And that just seems I don't I think it's I don't buy that Wow, I love I love your mind I really do. see, I just feel like there's two billion light years ahead of us in intelligence They sort of only be seen if they want to. It's not that they're trying to hide from us and failing. And that and look, I actually know nothing about aliens. You did The log line of the podcast, it says and a little bit of aliens. It's really just mentioned in it's a small segment at the end, but I do Did you see the movie The Age of Disclosure? Not yet. not It is that will bring up a lot because it's all these ex High military professionals and these people that were in secret task forces for the government for like the last seventy years. and they're all saying yeah, like we've seen we have four different type of biologics, all this stuff, but who the hell knows what is true? I can't say that I know for sure How you believe in aliens? I know there's stuff I don't know exists out there Right? you know, it's not I've talked about this with my brother. like it's not that people just to believe in aliens that might have a trouble with. It's like when they believe in They believe in ghosts, they believe in astrological signs. they believe in God, they believe in witches. And it's like everything but accountability sometimes. So if there's chaos in their life They can sort of blame it on all these outside forces. I don't So maybe I shouldn't throw aliens into there. I think it's craz to say aliens, horoscopes, God. Well like you know what doesn't. Am I squeezing them together? But like yeah, it does seem like, oh, well this I'm this because that or this I don't know. But I don't think there's the shorter answer is There's gott to be some stuff we're not aware of. so I don't give a hard no. I agree with you. Yeah, that's how I feel.. I dont know those things that you mention. I just would like to say that I just take a little from each, you know, I'm not I don't think it doctrine of anything I like that Fun Yeah, just a little bit.ittle touch have a little fairy dust about each of them. And you can listen to Blaair's podcast, spaced out with Blairsaki, wherever you get your podcast And Catch you on tour at playairersocy d. com Hockey everybody. Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of loveove it or Leave it coming up. As we were talking about just before the break, there's all kinds of conspiracies about aliens, whereere do they come from? How did they get here? We were just talking about these new UFO videos which is why it's time for a segment. We're calling Conspiracy you next Tuesday. Conspiracy see you next Tuesday. Conspiracy you next Tuesday I'm going to tell you about a conspiracy theory if you don't buy it Oh wait, let me give these out. Oh for this for this segment You will each have a tin fooil hat. Wha Exciting Well you can just see how they fit for now. can just put them on. But I will just say for this, we actually would like you to keep your hat on your lap If you If you don't believe the conspiracy theory, keep it on your lap If you're open to it, Hold it, hold it a little, get it close to your head. All right And if you believe it. It goes right on. Let's start with one of the fifty new UFO videos released by the federal government two weeks ago Let's take a look at one Look at it Look at it there, it just sort of darts around. U oh. It darts around or is it just something that's static and we're seeing Rax. Wow Motion It's hard to say. Do these videos together make you think that there are aliens I can't say it's this particular video that would make me think that no. But But do but do you believe that there is a conspiracy hiding that the government knows about aliens U yeah, I don't know. why would they tell it? I mean, I don't know, I'm too naive maybe. I just like why disclose now? So that's the question. Yeah, that's the question So you don't so you don't believe the conspiracy. I don't think it's a conspiracy. I think they're trying to roll something out. I don't know exactly what it is. Well, let's go to the next one. Some inter Innet weirdos think Steven Spielberg's new sci fi movie Disclosure Day in Theaters june twelfth was made in conjunction with the deep state to get us all ready for the actual reveal of alien contact. Do you believe that How'd you believe that? I don't believe that I just don't picture Spielberg working with the deep state. But I do think like h it was Zoomed out mystical level that there is some way that they could be happening at the same time, like unrelated. Well, here's Spielberg talking about it I used to say to myself, wouldouldn't it be wonderful if all of this turned out to be true? I'm now thinking, wouldouldn't it be wonderful for people to know all of this is true Weird What what a weird way to say that. He knows some shit. You know, ET An American travel influencer posted from the Hontavirus cruise ship, which Todd was on. He was accused of being a crisis actor. Online skeptics claim that Jake Rosemarin was a crisis actor for Big Pharma last month after he continued to post from the MV Hondias, the Dutch flagged cruise ship that came down with a bad case of Hontavirus Then from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he was temporarily quarantined, people think he's a crisis actor with more ties Then you know, waky, wakey folks, didn't he push people to get the COVID vacs not falling for this one What do you think about that? I don't even understand. I think he's been hired by big farmers. To infect, to infect and raise so that they can markarket there U drugs, They're cures All right, so we don't believe that one. Here's one. Groups of people are descending into New York sewer system to hunt for treasure That's true, I think Yeah Well, the question is to my mom say They're searching for valuables that have been flushed down therain drain. Or that there' secret stashes of like wealth and treasure down there. I gotta tell you something ve it. Are we thinking the mob or what? Like hiding all kinds of things.ike hiding like what are we thinking they're hiding down there? Nothing has felt more real to me than ghostbusters too. Like I believe that there is a secret world down there filled with beautiful, untapped magical things. and if I could just brave Well, now I'm Well, you know what? I thought, I wonder if a lot of people, there are people that live in the sewer system. Didn't they have a little documentary on that? Yeah, that sounds familiar. In New York or in here. In New York. Oh because you know how they get talking about the L. I wantan to put mine on with you guys Yeah. And you know what I thought if I lived down there, how I would make my place super nice, but I don't know why But some of your g So sh gay. Yeah no that'say. That's gay asll I love. My sewer apartmentments' beautiful. Yeah. Wait til see how I laid out my sewer home. Even sometimes and it's not in disrespect to people that are homeless whatsoever. It's more my neuroses. Like I look at an underpass and I'm always thinking, I would like put my little my tent there. You know, I'd make because it wouldn't be in the we. But also I did see that video where people going under the seer. I wonder if they're looking for stuff like that get flushed down the toilet, becauseuse you know there's got toa be so many diamonds and rings and necklacace. Can I tell you something? I've only been wearing a ring for a week and a half. Sure. Congratulations, by the way. Thank you. Thank you for saying that I know ' come to believe that As a society A lot of people wear rings. Right And it is crazy to me that They're just drains and that rings can go down. This is doesn't make any fucking sense. Yeah It really is And I'm sure it is because most women women are more likely to wear rings than men. And the only men who really wear rings for the most men who are wearing rings are wearing a wedding band, right? But a lot of men don't wear rings. But the idea that There are drains that are just Isn't this a solvable problem? L Just make it so that the holes are smaller than the fucking rings, right? Am I crazy? It's insane. They're like, Oh yeah, my family diamond went down the drain. My mother snuck it out of fucking Auschwitz, but now it's gone because a man designed this bathroom John, welcome to Hell. It's like all of them are like that. For women, anytim you go to clasp your necklace and usually you know you're getting ready of your makeup and it's over the sink, you know, my dad's had to open up the drain multiple times growing up. Crazy. Yeah fell in there Next conspiracy theory Ahead of the LA Mayoral race, Jake Tapper grilled Spencer Pratt about comments he made in two thousand nine on Alex Jones' show agreeing that nine hundred eleven was an inside job Prad said his view has changed, hope my headat fell off, jumped off my head. but was that the result of neglectful government vetting that would have identified and prevented the al Qaeda agents from carrying it out? Well, I have to say, I mean, there was a memo that said Al Qaeda determined to bin Laden determined to strike within the U. S. and George W. Bush was like Boy, that's bad, you know? So maybe that was real You think it was an inside job? No, no. No. I think it was just incompetence. Well some part of it was it was preventable had they been paying Enough attention, I think is what I would say. Okay. Oh, teens say they were stalked by sack s Sack squatches. Sas squatches Is two Sasquatches a sasquatch? It's Is it like deer? one sasquatch, two sasquatch or one sasquatch, two sasquatches? Squatches? Sasquatches. Squ They say they were stalked by a group of ten teens camping in Idaho's Pay at National Forest. say they were followed by several big feet B fooots. over Big fooots Bigs fooot Memorial Day So Bigfoot doesn't respect the truth. just very recently. Very recently. just happened. They cited strange whistling at one point according to Fox News around three AM on Sunday, while everyone sleeping, one of them heard what sounded like someone trying to start their car I don't think SasSquatch was trying to start their car. Yeah, I don't know about this. Is there a conspiry theory you do believe, Togglass? We were talking about that up in the green room. shit. Sorry, sorry the person who made these. They even have the little World War one Russia German little hat at the top. Beautiful. It's start you start. Is there one you believe What was one I believe? Here's one that I believe I believe that Fidel Castro is the father of Justin Trudeau. I really do I really do to swear I really genuinely believe that. Or I would say this, I don't know ve here's why I say, I would say it is those who claim it has been debunched are not telling the truth. It has not been debunked. Like it is true that it didn't happen when it could have happened But it did happen when it could have hy.ere's I' saying Let me say I sound fucking crazy. here's what I'll say Here's I'll say you too. I agree with those who claim it has debunked that when it couldn't have happened, it didn't happen, but they're ignoring the moment when it could have happened. That's all that I'm saying. I think it is possible. It's just possible. And they look alike. Have you ever seen a picture of Justin Trudeaux and Fidel Castro side by side I can't say that I have. Well, you see when you do, you'll be like, o shit. Yeah, there's the two that I think of off the top of my head, one that Courney Kardashian's third baby is Justin Bieber'. That one that comes up on my talk TikTok a lot. W. And then also the galers that think that Taylor Swift is gay. And I don't know if I necessarily believe that, but then when you see the galers and the argument that they create that they line out. It's like the freaking da Vinci code. It's insane. And it starts being like, wait, is she gay? Has this all been gay this whole time? It' just an elaborate like treasure hunt piece? Yeah, I mean, it is the that is that is also how you get into Q andon. Right Be there's a lot of data I'll tell you I'll tell you I don't need a theory We'll be right bag 're back. Now it's time for our favorite end of show segment where I take a loving stroll through everything I said or did this evening and decide whether or not I regret it in a segment, We call second thoughts Todd and Blair. I would love to hear any second thoughts you have about this evening as well. firstirst up I said pooping on Nancy Expllosi's desk was cool. I remember that. I swore multiple times in front of who I believe is a future leader of America Oh, this is I know who wrote this one. Shitting on lesbians again, we are actually very fun. Prove me wrong, Halleie Oh, one other second thought. In case there are aliens, I want to let them know that I'm I'm I'm on their side. Oh me too, me too I don't have to say that because I know they're already like me Yeah One other regret, we should have just put the tinfel hats and just had them on for the whole segment. Using them to gauge it was a mess. It was a frankly it was a mess. Yes. It was a mess. couldn't I should have just put the hat on and say, fuck it, we're putting on these hats because and instead it was like, ' we didn't really believe a lot of them. So the hats are sitting on our laps, they're falling over. stupid. we fucked up the hat thing fucked up the h It was fun to wear the hat. Yeah, once the hat was on, I was like, this is a dreamving a good time. It was fun It's like You forgive yourself. gott to forgive yourself're a nice person. I wish I could take back the Oh, you didn't ask me yet. Hey, do you have any regrets Bl? Oh, thank you so much for asking, John. That's really timely. I wish I didn't bring up Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber and possibly a Kardashian becausecause I don't actually believe either of those I I knew I came through. I think you're okay. All right, J just selling the Swifties out there. I would standand down.
