There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

00:40
just needed to study uh weed for forty days. Also
00:45
where my ashheads at? Where all my asheads. National Banana
00:50
Cream Pie Day and National Old Stuff Day, so us

00:58
notified me before the National Old Stuff Day gives notice
01:03

01:06

03:59
we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
04:03
by the super producer of This damn Podcast and many
04:07
others all the way from the beautiful streets of Brooklyn.
04:11
It's the brilliant, the talented super producer Becca Romas. Hello, oh,
04:17
how the tables have turned the current tables in the
04:22
guest seat today, Yeah, last second doing you know, truly
04:29
heroic stepping up, showing courage, having to come up with
04:33
an overrated, underrated in search history in a matter of moments. Also,
04:39
you know, I think pretty thoroughly held it down on
04:43
the trending episodes. What ye get them on? Mike, Yeah,
04:50
you know, I just love to talk about pop culture.
04:52
That's what I love about trend Like whatever bullshit pop
04:56
culture thing that's a top of my mind. I get
04:58
to say it. We appreciate it because you drag us
05:01
into two. Also, you're like, Okay, here's the gen Z
05:04
rap for this week on TikTok, and I'm like, this
05:07
guy is so good, and that one was really good
05:11
the past ones because I started looking at that channel
05:13
pretty I mean the command of like the like that
05:16
person they have flow and also like there they made
05:21
me feel really old because I'm like that child looks sixteen,
05:23
and he just what's the apt for people? What's their handles?
05:26
So people can find that great question, let me dig
05:30
into our group chat. Well, while you do that, we're
05:33
going to tell our listeners a couple of the things
05:36
we're talking about, and then well we'll come back find
05:39
out that handle and find out a little bit more
05:41
about you. One of the things we're talking about is
05:43
just the impossibility of following the war in Ukraine, Russia's
05:47
invasion of Ukraine, and you know, or any war. Really
05:51
it's it's the propaganda mills going to overdrive. But I'm
05:56
just seeing a lot of people, I'm having a lot
05:58
of people quote myths to me, and so I just
06:02
just wanted to kind of give a run through talk
06:04
about the state of that because that I do feel
06:06
like that is one of the things. One of the
06:08
parts of this experience of the past week or so
06:13
is just it's it's really hard to tell what the
06:16
funk is going on. I found a handle, Okay, hit us.
06:20
It is Mr Grande official. Yes, that's Mr Grande Official
06:24
of course, Mikey Angelo. Yeah, and that's based on Starbucks
06:29
order their favorite Starbucks order. I believe that's cool dad joke. Hey,
06:37
this guy's got a grand day. Huh Hey here Mr
06:41
Grande over here? Am all right? Actually, what do you mean?
06:45
Just I ordered a medium at Starbucks? Okay, Jim go
06:49
to or Jim teacher insults. We got Ariana Grande over here? Okay, okay,
06:55
little boy, We're gonna talk about why we want to
06:58
fuck all these leader is during a crisis? Are we
07:02
too horny for again? It happened again, fauci Zalinski. We
07:09
just we want to fucking folks, We just we just
07:12
all want to have sex with him. Now we'll well,
07:14
we'll talk about that. Yeah, it's it's a it's a
07:17
meme that continues to bubble. All of that. We will
07:21
also check in on the just blatant racism that we're
07:24
seeing in the coverage of the invasion of Ukraine. All
07:28
that plenty more. But first, Becca Ramos, we do like
07:32
to ask our guests, what is something from your search history.
07:37
I just pull this up and it is Alians Travel Insurance,
07:41
which I really thought it was called Alliance Travel Insurance.
07:45
But I do not have a good history of reading
07:47
things properly, So when I was on the phone with them,
07:50
they said it's alions but no, no, no, they you
07:56
know the phone lines is like, oh their own trouble insurance. Okay,
08:00
hold on, miss, I don't know what you're saying. Are
08:02
you trying to yeah, because you were saying something else. Okay.
08:08
Now the man was really nice, Andrew was a king.
08:10
He really helped me with all my insurance questions. But
08:13
I'm going to Peru on Sunday for a week or
08:16
two do a little work from Peru trip with my
08:20
partner as he gets some stuff settled in Peru, and
08:24
I needed to get us travel insurance in case we
08:26
get COVID or some other weird stuff, right right, right, yeah,
08:30
I guess anything happens. I don't want to pay fifty
08:34
in medical fees. No, no, no, no one wants that.
08:38
What do you someone in America just getting exactly It's
08:41
like my own insurance doesn't cover things, let alone can't
08:44
imagine in a foreign country. So I was like, should
08:47
we get travel insurance? And he was like uh, And
08:51
I was like, I'm going to get That is the
08:55
response that means you are wrong, and I'm right. So
09:00
I'm gonna go into I think, man's wait, are you
09:04
going to We're going to Lima, and then I think
09:06
we're going to spend a couple of days in Gusco
09:10
Machu Picchu. So damn you're going to do the hike.
09:14
It's a question that's like, you can't, you can't have
09:21
I got all my shots, y'all. It took a long time.
09:25
It was like I had to run around New York
09:27
City at the three different doctor's office because your insurance
09:30
only takes it here, and like a lot of travel
09:32
doctors don't take insurance. And it was a whole thing.
09:36
But I got my tay Foy vaccinine. I like, re
09:39
uped on that tetanus. She should be good to go.
09:42
I got the anti elevation meds, the uh anti diretic
09:49
down yeah because they say grounded. Yeah, so right, that
09:53
makes sense. But it was a lot. I was, of course,
09:56
all things that my partner did not think about. He
09:58
was just like, no, I'm from Peru, Like, why do
10:01
you have to worry about any of these things. I'm good, thanks,
10:04
And I'm like you really like me? Can you just
10:11
send all the food pictures like of c or I
10:17
absolutely just love the potatoes, because isn't that where we
10:19
got isn't that part of Colombian exchange, like Yuka place. Yeah,
10:24
so I mean my world domination colonial history is bad,
10:28
but I'd assume sure, Yeah, they're big on uko over there,
10:33
and they're cech is made with whitefish versus um. I
10:36
think typically Lisa Mexico, it's shellfish. So excited about that
10:40
because I'm allergure shellfish. So is the anti like altitude
10:45
sickness medication? Is that like over the counter? Did you
10:48
just pick that up or you had to get a prescription?
10:50
So that was a part of the conundrum nightmare is
10:53
that I I had to go to a travel doctor,
10:56
pay a consultation fee from the travel doctor. So I
10:58
had to pay out of pocket hundred seventy five dollars
11:01
just to be seen by the doctor. And then I
11:03
had to pay for each shot, which the shot was
11:06
like a hundred sething dollars to the typhoid shot. It's
11:09
like almost two dollars for a yellow fever shot. And
11:12
then they can prescribe you because they are a doctor,
11:15
the anti diuretic medicine, so they just prescribe me antibiotic
11:19
and then the anti elevation medicine I think does have
11:23
to be prescription. You can't get that over the counter.
11:25
You can get like non drowsy like dramamine for certain things,
11:29
but for like severe elevation, there's like rules you have
11:32
to take it, like a couple of days before you start.
11:35
It's a whole thing. But yeah, you have to go
11:38
to a travel doctor, specifically, because I called my actual
11:41
doctor because I pay for insurance, and they were like, oh,
11:44
simply no, we cannot. And they're like, you idiot, you
11:47
want to get a typhoid vaccine at your hospital that
11:50
you pay insurance money to go see? No, no, no,
11:52
you gotta go a travel doctor. Goodbye. You gotta go
11:55
to the shot. I gotta pay them different money. But
11:59
now that I've been at this doctor, I can go
12:01
back and I only have to pay seventy five dollars
12:03
for a clinic visit versus the hundred and seventy five
12:06
dollars for the initial consultation fee. The American health care
12:09
system is broken. I think it's perfect. I think they're
12:12
nailing it. They're maximizing profits. I had never heard of
12:16
travel doctor before. I'd never like that as a profession. Yeah,
12:22
I don't know if this is some New York stuff.
12:24
But I don't know. I I've also only left the
12:27
country one other time. I've been in Puerto Rico a
12:29
number of times, but I've been to Panama for work
12:32
back in ten. But we stayed in Panama City, so
12:36
I didn't really have to get any vaccines for that,
12:39
and it was like in a resort thing. It was
12:41
just a very beautiful I can't believe it was a
12:44
work trip. It was basically a vacation. But they also
12:46
that job paid me no money, so you know, comes
12:49
and goes got an all expense paid, beautiful trip to Panama,
12:53
but I was getting paid pennies to work eighty hours
12:57
a week. So well, I'm going to Guatemala. I will
13:01
be hiking a volcano, and I will be getting anti elevation.
13:06
You going to Guatemala? Yeah? Is that where you going? Yeah?
13:09
Then the march? Yeah, man, so ze getting hit me up.
13:13
Let me know your your actual doctor might be able
13:15
to give you that anti elevation medicine, though you might
13:17
not have to go. It might be in some New
13:19
yorkship that they make you do this like whole separate travel.
13:22
Just take CBD, bro. My partner was like, you're just
13:28
gonna drink this tea the specialty and I was like
13:30
what and then I google it and like the American
13:34
Healthcare it's like banned in the United States, like you're
13:36
not allowed to have this tea. But that might be
13:37
on some you know, racist stuff. Who knows. Well, there's
13:39
a lot of stuff that they're like it's too effective
13:41
and then that affects our ability to put it a
13:43
prescription page. I'm sorry, that's a conspiracy. I'm starting to
13:48
track loosely in my mind is how much stuff is
13:52
being held back and whether people are being actually taken
13:57
out in favor of pharmaceutical profits because is Yeah, I've
14:01
heard some wild shit about you know, the not from
14:05
my wife who was a physician, but from other people
14:09
right out. Yes, this guy a friend of mine, you've
14:12
heard of him. Yeah, more anecdotal stuff, but about like
14:18
people who were researchers into like a HIV cure and
14:25
then that like they had to have security because other
14:29
people who do research into HIV medication and had like
14:33
breakthrough ship like disappeared or died unfortunate deaths. And I
14:38
believe it because I saw the fugitive when I was
14:40
a kid. I don't know that show goes. What what
14:45
is something you think is overrated? Rebecca, Oh my gosh, okay, controversial,
14:50
but also a quick thing. It's like I have a
14:52
lot of hot takes. But I don't know why I
14:54
was so stumped coming up with and overrated. But I'm
14:56
gonna put it out there. Bars. I think bars are overrated.
14:59
It's especially post COVID. You know, I don't want to
15:02
be crammed up in a room with a bunch of
15:05
people I don't know, breathing their air to drink twenty
15:08
dollar cocktails. Why you know, I don't like to drink
15:12
that much. I really just enjoy intimate friend time and
15:17
I would rather have like eight people over sharing some
15:20
like snacks and bottles of wine. My friend Viv always
15:25
loves a host. She always has people over like every
15:27
other weekend. I swear I go over there and we
15:29
all just like hang out. We drink wine, we have
15:31
snacks and it's like such a lovely time and I
15:36
we will vivis quite a host, so she will like
15:39
either get stuff from like the Chinese market. We'll have
15:44
like a hot pot day one day. We did, you know,
15:47
usually just like some cheeses, some meats, popcorn are the bars?
15:52
What's the bar situation in New York now? Is it
15:55
fully back to mask off, do your thing? We're back?
16:00
I mean I know that technically the policy is that
16:03
you don't need vaccine cards anymore to get into places,
16:07
but I still haven't. Like every time I've gone, I've
16:11
still had to like use my vaccine cards. So they're
16:13
still like requiring it most places because it is like
16:15
up to you, but like legally they don't have to anymore.
16:18
A lot of them are still requiring vaccine cards. But
16:20
it's just like New York's a small place, or I
16:23
mean it's a big place, but like this the spacing itself,
16:25
so we're on top of each other. So it was
16:27
just like what's the point, and like just like going, yeah,
16:29
we're all vaccinated, but we're all like the second we
16:31
get in mass off or drinking, like we're on top
16:34
of each other. It's like hot and sweaty, and then
16:36
it's cold outside, and I just like, don't I'd rather
16:41
just stay at home and hang and you can't hear anybody.
16:43
Everyone's yelling sometimes the music is bad. I understand the
16:46
allure of an outdoor bar experience in the summer, Like
16:48
that's a part of summer. But outside of that, I'm good.
16:53
I don't really even because we haven't like we don't
16:57
have a good I mean, it's not that it gets
16:58
cold in l A. But I get like in the
17:00
winters in New York, it's cold, and you're like, how
17:04
how can you even arrive at a thing that you
17:05
can do outdoors in the cold. It's just not one. Also,
17:09
just like traveling outside in the cold like that, because
17:11
it's like okay, like I have to take the train
17:13
into the city, or take the train in Brooklyn to
17:16
go to Williamsburg or the bus or whatever, and then
17:18
I gotta arrived with that coat and then it's warm
17:21
in there because it's cold outside, so they have the
17:23
heat on in there and taking everything off, whereas I
17:25
could just go to my friend's house and like the
17:28
food is better. My friends have great wine selections, the
17:32
wine is better. Put your coat on their bed instead
17:35
of like have it dragging, and like we got really
17:37
nice coat racks. Okay, we've invested in nice coat racks,
17:41
all right. I was I was going back to my
17:43
time in New York when my friends furniture was like
17:47
a box spring a mattress and uh, you know the
17:53
box that they brought some of their ship in with
17:55
just overturned. Yeah, yeah, I mean the music is really
18:03
crucial to me. I feel like that was the difference
18:07
for me between a place I would like to be
18:09
in a place that like, yeah, like the the outdoor setting,
18:13
like one of the key components that is that there's
18:16
not music like blaring, and like there's a there's a
18:20
piece of received wisdom in the bar and like spirits
18:26
and restaurant community that like if you play loud music,
18:29
people drink more, they drink faster, which makes sense because
18:32
there's not like you don't get distracted by conversation, I guess,
18:37
or it's like the thing to do, or it makes
18:39
you feel like you're at a dance, like in your
18:42
back as a teenager and you're awkward, but you have
18:45
alcohol now and probably like yeah, man, hold on, let
18:48
me just down this whole fucking drink so I can
18:50
say one sentence to you, which is, damn it's loud
18:53
in here. Huh, Like a first date of the bar
18:57
is never a good choice, Like you just like you
18:59
can't really hear them, and you're like, okay, well I
19:02
guess it's like you can bump it to the music
19:03
a little bit, but usually you're like sitting down and
19:07
it's just it's just weird. So we have like, you know,
19:09
there's like kinds of bars to like in l in
19:11
New York, there's there's like bars that are just full
19:13
on scenes, right, like you know, it's a scene. You
19:16
know what the scene is at that bar. It's a
19:17
very specific way of getting down or white people dress, etcetera.
19:21
And then my favorite is like the just a diverse
19:25
neighborhood bar where you're like, bro, it looks like everybody
19:27
who lives around he just comes in here to like
19:30
have a drink. That energy is much more I feel
19:33
like and welcoming than the kind when it's like you know,
19:36
Height Beast City and everybody's like yeah. And a lot
19:39
of the Manhattan bars are the scene, and then a
19:42
lot of the Brooklyn bars are like, oh, we all
19:44
just hang out. And I like it, but I'm like,
19:45
at the end of the day, I'm spending like eighty
19:47
bucks a drink, what three four glasses of wine when
19:49
I can like buy a fourteen dollar bottle of wine
19:52
at home and eight dollar black of cheese. Yeah. One
19:57
thing that I think more bars should try blaring podcasts,
20:01
specifically this podcast. Let the people know. You could just
20:06
do a great a compilation of all the A K s.
20:09
I mean I'm sure that. Yeah, the one that the
20:14
smooth criminal one I just did is gonna hit the
20:16
charts at some point. Totally we'll get hit with the
20:18
seasoned Sister. What is something? Becca? You think it's underrated? Okay,
20:24
Sunflower Butter, all right? I love this ship. It is
20:28
so good. I someone who has a Trina allergy. Okay,
20:32
so I've never been a nut butter girl. I can't
20:34
have nut butters. I am not allergic to peanut butter
20:37
and controversial. I hate it. I just I've never liked it.
20:40
I've tried to be hard. It is not for me.
20:43
I want to like peanut butter so I can be
20:45
like everybody else, and I just I can't. When I
20:47
discover sunflower butter, my life change. I was like, oh,
20:49
is this how people feel about peanut butter? Because sunflower
20:52
butter is it? It is so good. I get the
20:56
one from Trader to Joe's. I put my partner onto it.
20:59
He's like, oh my god, this ship is so it's
21:04
just ground up sunflower kernels. Yeah, it's like peanut butter taste,
21:08
but peanut butter made out of sunflowers slower. I mean,
21:11
I love I love the taste of sunflower seeds. Yeah,
21:14
and they and they make it in a nut butter
21:16
like form. Yeah, and you put it on everything. I
21:20
can't get my kids too, because they're not allowed to
21:23
have tree nuts at school because of allergies, because of
21:27
the Wolke sky, because fucking woke sky. These are always
21:34
If you don't know what that's reference to, you can
21:36
listen to yesterday's episodes some beat poetry from the Mega right.
21:41
But yeah, they just like they don't get on board
21:44
with it. And we're we're a big peanut butter family,
21:47
or at least I'm a big peanut butter. I eat
21:49
peanut butter toast with an apple every morning. That's my
21:52
go to breakfast. I love a sunflower like I'll toast
21:55
some surd o bread, spread some sunflower butter, put a
21:58
little bit like BlackBerry am on it. Perfection. Because happening
22:04
when we were kids, and they were not saying we
22:07
can't bring that ship. Because I remember there was a
22:09
kid in my cler just let kids die, and we're
22:12
just like, yeah, man, I just don't make sure you
22:14
don't eat the Reese's cups when they come around. That
22:16
was kind of like the way we handled it. But
22:18
I'm curious. I get that there must have been a
22:20
lot to the point where more people are like, no,
22:22
you actually have to consider these allergies because they can
22:25
be like terribly well and they can be so like
22:28
I actually didn't develop my nut allergies until I was
22:30
an adult. Like I used to love almonds and stuff
22:33
as a kid, and then like I was in college
22:36
and I had a pretty bad allergic reaction and I
22:38
got tested and they're like, oh, you're now allergic to nuts,
22:40
even though your whole life you weren't. Um, congratulations, you
22:46
can't eat so many things now that you used to.
22:49
But when I was like little, I was a girl
22:51
Scout and so there were kids in my girl Scout
22:54
troupe that, like, my mom had to be very deliberate
22:56
about the snacks. Yeah, well she was just like they
23:00
there was a girl in my troop who had like
23:01
all this like a list that she would like give
23:03
the parents and be like, you cannot have these things
23:06
around my child. Or she will die, like like here's
23:09
her EpiPen. She will die if you are near any
23:12
of these things. And I'm was like, thank god you
23:15
did not have these allergies when you were a kick,
23:16
because I would have killed you. I don't know what
23:18
would have happened. You would be living, you would have
23:21
been raised by a different family. Was like, actually were
23:25
She's like, I don't know, like I would have killed you.
23:27
I don't know even if you had these allergies. She's
23:30
like today, I'm glad you can manage it. You're an adult.
23:32
But had these happened when you were little, I don't know. Yeah,
23:37
the I I have to imagine. It's just like you
23:41
know enough schools got sued that there the lawyers that
23:46
represent schools were just like, no, we need like an
23:48
official policy to prevent this ship from happening. And it's
23:51
really like a small thing, Like it's not that big.
23:54
It's not that big a deal, would say airplanes have
23:57
to do. I feel like you don't get peanuts on
23:58
airplanes anymore. You don't, but they also tell you you're
24:02
not allowed to bring on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
24:05
What they do at schools, so well, they're like, hey,
24:08
we can't be held responsible for that. You know, some
24:10
other wildest person came in right. Anyways, I love a
24:15
good legal triangulation from a company or large. It's like
24:19
we can okay, we can get a like Florida. Yeah yeah,
24:23
alright four and then that's it. Then it starts hurting
24:25
the bottom line. I'm gonna give some flower butter another shot,
24:28
and I'm going to try the Trader Joe's because the
24:31
brands that I've been having up to this point aren't
24:34
salty enough in my opinion, Like how I like my
24:38
peanut butter the Traders. I think there's one of Trade
24:40
Jos that is pretty salty. And then on top of that,
24:43
they have these like sunflower butter cups, like like peanut
24:47
butter cups. They're made with dark chocolate. They got little
24:50
bag of them. Yeah, because they got like the little ones,
24:53
so like you don't have to give your kids like
24:54
a giant like they have like little sized ones. We're
24:57
thinking like madmen. Now we're like, get them start it
25:00
on the shop he self, the trojan horse, that ship.
25:04
Then it's in the sandwiches. They won't know. But when
25:07
you don't have a p B and J or like
25:08
a you know, some flower butter and jelly sandwich as
25:12
an option. Lunch. Making lunch is a lot hard hard
25:16
because they also don't like like cold cuts, very shot
25:18
like that so loose salami what I eat all the time, yeaheah,
25:27
but my mom wasn't working with that. She's like, you'll
25:29
hear some loose salami. And the half of the time
25:31
I just eat at the cafeteria because like I did not,
25:33
like I was not one of the kids, was like
25:35
everybody else has this. I was like, yo, that ship
25:37
tastes like fucking nonsense. I'm like I want some food.
25:41
M all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
25:43
be right back, and we're back. I just had a
25:57
sense memory of like some of the I was so
26:00
happy anytime I got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
26:02
in my lunch, because what like the turkey sandwich with
26:07
mayo and cheese, that's like been in a warm back
26:12
all morning and like just having to like force that
26:15
ship down because you're so hungry, Like the cheese is sweating. Yeah,
26:18
the cheese is sweating. The turkey feels like it's got
26:21
like that little bit of hint of like this this
26:25
isn't bad yet, but it wants to be. It's like
26:27
it wants to go in that direction like a superhero mom.
26:31
Though she like she like had the ice packs lined
26:34
up on the lunch kit and she's like make our
26:37
lunches every morning, so it's like really fresh. And you know,
26:40
I gotta like when you're like, oh, not that crazy,
26:45
but did work. Yeah, it's it's a it's a step
26:49
above in the shopping back. Yes, yes, Like she made
26:52
it a point that was like, Okay, we're gonna like
26:55
cut the crust off and like do the whole thing.
26:57
And you know, I, looking back, I really appreciate how
27:01
much ever my mom put in, especially because she went
27:03
to school every morning with us going to work. She
27:05
was a teacher. Or is did y'all ever have that thing?
27:09
You had a friend who had always been like better
27:12
LuFe than everyone else, and you're like, hey, man, you
27:15
think I could get one of those. I had a
27:17
friend at a chaotic lunch where it was just like, oh,
27:20
your mom doesn't have time for you in the morning,
27:22
hump because it was like Cosmo brownies like pop tarts
27:27
and then like uh, capri son yeah, and it was
27:32
just it was rough. Feeding your child juice today, like
27:37
on a regular basis is like at least by my wife.
27:42
And it might be just because I love the beck
27:45
Is still still appreciates my wife. Like it might be
27:50
just because she is a little bit more like she
27:54
was raised in a household where fruit was the was
27:57
the sweetest thing that you possibly got. But I did
28:01
not have a single lunch that didn't have juice or
28:04
something of that nature in it. And like I feel
28:08
like that is considered child abuse. Like these days up
28:12
like three capri sons, Oh juice is like, but you
28:16
might as well like just give them diabetes. Okay, well
28:19
you might. How about this me, a child who was
28:22
raised on three capri sons a day. I will fight
28:24
your child right now. I have made that offer. My
28:30
life says that would be actual child in a way.
28:33
If someone said that, I'm like, oh, you're calling them
28:35
my mom fucking reckless, because now it's a problem. Yea,
28:38
now it's a problem. I was fine if you just
28:40
say generally juice is bad, but you're trying to say
28:42
I was living wrong. No, I mean two thirds of
28:45
the things that Becca cited as her friend with the
28:47
mom who like, I didn't give a fuck, We're in
28:50
my lunch on a regular basis. Well, it was the
28:52
fact that there was no sandwich. It was like it
28:55
was like, oh, there's only Cosmo Brownies, Caprice son and
28:58
like sugar kind of protein. Yeah, I was on the
29:05
healthier side, Like, but the other kids in my school
29:08
were like, I think this has been a generational thing.
29:10
It's not that my parents were sucking up. It was
29:12
that like like, yeah, it was like lunchables school lunch
29:18
which was just like like shitty pizza every day, or
29:22
you like had parents made a sandwich and you know
29:25
ye did that mostly at the cafeteria. Yeah, alright, let's
29:30
move on to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The
29:36
story I'm saying a lot recently is like this is
29:39
the first social media war, comparing like who's winning the
29:42
propaganda war in this social media age? I think Russia
29:48
has been given a lot of credit or like people
29:51
were like that they're gonna just fill social media with
29:54
all this pro Russia propaganda, but it seems like they're
29:59
not actually succeeding. I saw a long thread from somebody
30:03
who's like kind of watching social media in inside Russia
30:07
and it was kind of like, yeah, you got like
30:09
some people who are real jingleist and like we're gonna
30:14
kill those Western dogs. But like, for the most part,
30:17
the stuff that is actual everyday people people either you know,
30:23
just posting like a broken heart emoji or people just
30:26
complaining about like how it's sucking up their bag essentially,
30:31
like how right or yeah, and even influencers are like
30:34
just kind of being very directingly like no, we can't
30:37
have war with Russia, and you're like, oh, that's a take. Yeah,
30:41
but yeah, yeah, the first social media war is you know,
30:44
and we talked about how kind of surreal it is
30:46
to watch it unfold like that. But I mean, to
30:49
be fair, there's there's plenty of war zone footage that
30:54
has been on social media. I think again sort of
30:57
part goes back to the media is sort of increased
31:01
empathy for what's happening in Ukraine has like algorithmically elevated
31:05
a lot of that footage because there have been plenty
31:08
of places where people have cell phones and have documented
31:11
terrible shit happening. But so because there is this increased
31:15
in attention, I'm I'm hearing people quote stories that are
31:19
not actual facts, or you know, people getting out in
31:23
front of stories that then turn out to like not
31:26
really be true. There's obviously a bunch of this ship
31:29
from the Russian side. There's like a video of soldiers
31:31
dancing together, and they were like, this is actually what
31:35
it looks like Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers like on
31:38
the same side about like tweeting out the deep state
31:43
basically just claiming that, you know, it's wild, like the
31:48
one the one story that I saw that I was like, oh,
31:51
I should fact check this one because this feels like
31:54
something that wouldn't necessarily be true. Was Russian TV, like
31:59
the state TV propaganda stations are posting a lot of
32:04
Tucker Carlson, like translating him and being like, see, he
32:08
says exactly what we say, so he is a literal
32:12
tool of Putin's regime. But then you know, they are
32:16
these stories like there's the ghost of Kiv fighter pilot
32:20
Ace who's like shot down five Russian fighter jets over Ukraine,
32:25
and like videos posted that claimed to show him shooting
32:29
down a Russian fighter jet and like those people went
32:33
back and searched those videos they're actually and this is
32:36
this was kind of wild to me that it's actually
32:39
footed from a two thousand and eight flight simulator video game.
32:43
So like we've been at a point where someone can
32:46
like make something completely fabricated in a video game and
32:52
it would fool you into thinking you're watching actual footage
32:55
from a war since two thousand and eight. So that's
32:58
just like kind of put some perspective how easy this
33:01
ship is to like just make something that is going
33:03
to full a lot of people. There's also the Snake
33:06
Island soldiers, who I think did tell that Russian warship
33:10
go funk yourself and then the island was blown up,
33:14
but it's been reported that they're alive and being held
33:18
as POWs by Russia. I would like not that, Like
33:21
this doesn't change anything about, you know, how you should
33:25
feel about Russia waging a completely offensive, unnecessary invasion or
33:31
anything like that. There's no justification for it. But this
33:35
just feels like it's its First of all, the reality
33:40
is messier than what we're seeing in these videos, and
33:42
we're going to get to the Lynsk in a second,
33:44
and like the kind of creating a central you know,
33:48
Luke Skywalker like heroic figure versus the central Darth Vader
33:53
like bad guy figure, but just in terms of like
33:56
what you're seeing on the ground. It it just feels
34:01
like that having these like myths come out that you
34:05
then quote someone like and then if they are correctly
34:10
like actually that's not a true story, then you feel
34:12
like an asshole. Then you're like where do I stand
34:14
on this? Like it's just it's messy, you know, it's
34:19
it's a war is messy social media and like what
34:23
what is reality? Even on social media is messy? But
34:27
I just I just think, like, you know, any anything
34:31
that is making it easier for people to tell themselves
34:35
a heroic narrative on one side or the other that
34:39
is based on a lie is probably in the long
34:44
term like harmful because it you know, it turns what
34:49
is a just massive ball of like senseless, chaotic, confusing
34:56
death of many innocent people into something that is that
35:02
we can make sense of and get behind and get
35:04
excited about, right, you know, because it I mean, in
35:06
a way, it sort of helps us project our own
35:09
like media informed concept of war like onto this conflict.
35:13
It's just like all the movies and ship propaganda you've
35:17
been fed through, like you know, the depiction of glorified soldiers,
35:21
warrior types and film, and you're able to find like
35:25
these parallels to be like, oh, these guys are like
35:28
you know, they gave their lives heroically, not just and again,
35:31
like you're saying, it doesn't diminish what they were, you know,
35:33
what they were feeling, and that they're defending their own country.
35:36
But it it also like for just the person who's observing,
35:40
this kind of disconnects you from the true horror of
35:44
what it is. It's not like a bunch of like
35:46
We're gonna have a stiff upper lip and just face
35:48
whatever comes at us. It's I mean, it is that,
35:51
but it's also completely it's just total chaos, and it's
35:55
not the it's not that's sort of neatly packed into
35:59
the protagonists and antagonists that we kind of like need
36:03
for our like sort of like narrative obsessed mind. Yeah,
36:08
like I I still want to follow the day to
36:11
day because I want the Ukrainian people to be okay
36:13
and to like hit the one in a million slingshot
36:16
that kills Goliathe. But like that even that is a
36:19
fictional narrative, like we tell ourselves to make sense of
36:22
evil senseless death and violence, and those narratives like help
36:28
to ensure that war keeps happening into the future. And
36:32
I guess the reason I think this is important is
36:34
just because you know, as social media and as our
36:37
ability to create like deep fakes and a video game
36:40
that fulls me into thinking I'm watching an actual like
36:44
aerial battle like as that becomes more advanced, like well,
36:48
I am hoping that doesn't mean that. Like I feel
36:51
like we have been on a trajectory from like World
36:54
War One, where that was a war with like German
36:58
children being led off to an almost literal like meat
37:02
grinder with visions of heroism filling their heads. It was
37:05
just like you know a handful of people who are
37:08
like moving chips around on a board, and then massive
37:11
groups of people, because they were fooled by you know,
37:14
nostalgia and like this sense of heroism, were just killed
37:20
senselessly and brutally, like up through Vietnam, where start like
37:26
these images from what war that we're actually more honest
37:30
depictions of what war is like started leaking through in
37:33
real time or at least really like more up to
37:36
date than we got from World War Two, and people
37:39
start turning on war a little bit, and now we
37:44
you know, for the past two decades, I feel like
37:46
we were in a weird uh like thing where the
37:50
media just ignored that there were wars happening and that
37:53
Americans were doing the things. And I don't know, I'm
37:58
just hoping that this, the the fact that social media
38:01
is completely full of ship doesn't send us back in
38:05
that in that direction, the direction of World War One, Well,
38:10
I think on some level it's clear people have I mean,
38:14
at least for this conflict less of an appetite. But again,
38:18
I think it's as part of this like larger thing
38:19
where if if you are against you, if you're actually
38:23
about people being able to maintain their sovereignty and not
38:26
have foreign invaders entered with and do military campaigns, then
38:32
the challenges for people to be able to apply that
38:34
same standard to every single thing on the planet. Yeah,
38:38
I was gonna say that is kind of what I
38:41
was thinking about. Of Like, I feel like we've been
38:43
in a constant state of war, even though America, like
38:46
the United States, has not had you know, warre inflicted
38:49
on us and you know, very rarely in our history,
38:53
but we have been a perpetuator of war for ever,
38:57
and it does feel like we're just in this constant
39:00
of you know, aggression and military invasion and like, to me,
39:05
this you know, invasion of Ukraine from Russia, I'm like,
39:09
will it stop? Though, It's like I I I just
39:13
have a hard time seeing what happens with lots of
39:15
other countries constantly that it's not going to have this
39:19
romantic and that I feel like we have been taught
39:22
in history books of like you're saying, Jack, like this
39:24
triumph of like and then the l A powers got
39:26
together and like World War two was over and we
39:29
lived in peace times. Like to me, I just don't
39:32
have a hard time believing, especially with the amount of
39:34
technology and military industrial complex has been built up, that
39:38
it's just gonna like all of a sudden, Russia is
39:40
going to retreat and like boom, you know, war is done.
39:44
I think that's why you know any you know, that's
39:46
what I say, They're the only war is class war. Yeah,
39:49
because at the end of the day, it's like you're said,
39:51
like Jack, you're talking about people are just moving ship
39:53
around on a map because they have they are part
39:57
of the class of people who can make those two decisions.
40:00
But the ones who live with it. The ones who
40:03
go to the meat grinder are of a completely different class,
40:06
of a lower class who are just fighting the vested
40:10
interests of people who aren't well at the end of
40:12
the day, willing to do what's in their best interests.
40:13
And I think that's why it's going to be difficult
40:16
to move to another phase of you know, our civilization until,
40:21
you know, because it's clear people don't want to go
40:23
to war, you know, but when they have leaders that
40:26
have other aims, it's very easy to use nationalism and
40:31
this us versus them mentality to begin to get people
40:34
like in line with someone else's aims that aren't always
40:37
necessarily what's the best for the people. And that's one
40:40
thing to defend your home, but it's another, like you're
40:43
seeing many of these like Russian soldiers say like we
40:45
thought we were doing exercises and suddenly we were crossing
40:50
into a border, and a lot of you know, a
40:52
lot of people point to that as like why the
40:53
morale is so low, especially for like the Russian military,
40:57
because even the soldiers like what is what is this?
41:00
Or or about yeah, and then there's so let's let's
41:04
talk a little bit about how we all want to
41:07
fuck Zelenski. Okay. The first like just like a detailed
41:12
kind of description of oh yeah, well, I mean, look,
41:16
he's like hot Rick morandus. Okay, I'm like really into
41:20
this guy, and he's so handsome and he's such a hero.
41:24
The Okay josicide, the inevitable horny horny nous of the
41:30
Internet has emerged again. There was a tweet like on
41:33
Monday that said something that's like that was basically saying like, Okay, look,
41:38
many people are in love with President Zelenski now and
41:41
there's nothing you can do about it. And it was
41:44
sort of like this thing of like I've seen this, Yeah,
41:48
we saw this with but big old big Daddy Mueller,
41:51
we saw with the cuomo sexuals. We saw with the
41:54
people who are like fouchy can give me a jab
41:57
anytime or whatever the weird ship people were saying about
42:00
Dr Fauci And now it's directly quote Mede for that one,
42:04
like I think, did you say that yesterday or something? Yeah,
42:07
But it's like all right, man, well look whatever I remember.
42:11
But like you know, those first three guys, they were
42:12
basically like sort of these sexualized manifestations of people's like
42:16
hope that we could be out of the pandemic or
42:19
you know, out of the corruption of like the Trump administration.
42:22
And then I guess Zelinsky is now the face of
42:25
like standing up in the face of adversity porn, and
42:29
people are just completely distilled like what they seem like
42:32
he's so brave into I'm I love him because now
42:35
you have all these fan cams coming up of just
42:38
you know, the very jampacked montages of him looking pretty
42:43
and like people putting like heart emojis and shipped over it.
42:46
But it just shows this like really weird way again
42:49
that we people have to compartmentalize to like actually confront
42:53
the horrible part of what's happening, which again, as we
42:55
just said, people needlessly dying and being displaced. But it's
42:59
easy to be like, well, this guy, he's trying to
43:02
do something right, and now I'm let's let's all start
43:06
making memes and saying we we love him. I don't know,
43:08
its just it's I don't know if it's like because
43:11
we've over emphasized this idea of like a singular hero
43:14
in our culture and now like we're always just looking
43:17
to like project that or maybe we're to Horney. I
43:21
don't know, are you gonna say something? No, I I
43:27
don't have words. I just have to say the quoto
43:29
sexual one age so poorly because I remember the rise
43:33
and fall of that. Uh. Just thinking about this all
43:36
in context because being in New York City during the
43:38
height of the pandemic, I moved to January. I stayed
43:41
throughout the whole pandemic. There was like even Instagram accounts
43:45
like being created that we're called like Cuomo sexual and
43:48
it was just like images of him doing his little
43:51
press conferences every day. And then like for everything to
43:53
have happened with the sexual solved scandal that came to
43:57
fruition by the end of it. It's crazy. But I
44:01
don't know what is up with this horny nous and
44:03
our culture for wanting to fuck world leaders doing their job.
44:08
Question Mark, Like I I think it kind of goes
44:10
in that narrative where we put politicians and things on
44:13
a pedestal being like I mean almost on the opposite end,
44:17
Like this is like the you know, better of the
44:19
evils versus like the people who glorified Trump. It's like,
44:23
and they're questioning us for not being like, oh my God,
44:25
like Biden thought your God, and it's like, well, he's
44:28
an elected official that I put in the office and
44:31
have every you know, ability to hold him accountable for
44:34
the things he said he do. I feel like this
44:36
kind of falls into that, like almost the left spectrum
44:39
of like, oh my god, they're doing a good job. Yes,
44:42
love and it's right right right, No, I mean that's
44:46
they all see that. I mean, I guess, yeah. People
44:48
thirst over Trump in weird ways too. It's typically born
44:52
out of yeah, like the center left media sphere, Oh
44:56
my god, when the like news starts hitting about what
44:59
he's been doing for the past year and a half
45:02
since he's been in office, like probably during his next term,
45:06
that's yeah. I think it's interesting, right because, like the
45:11
I guess, it raises the question. I think ze Lynsky
45:14
is the one that makes the most sense of the
45:16
list that we've given because the ship he's doing is
45:19
actually heroic in a way that would remind you of
45:23
like someone in a movie like hot Lead, Yeah, that
45:29
people think is attractive. The Mueller revealed, by the way,
45:33
is just one of the all time moments. When he
45:37
finally spoke, we finally got to hear him speak, and
45:40
he was like, what what did you say? Hello? Who's
45:46
Ronald dumb? What? It just seemed so old and his
45:50
voice was really and high, and everybody had been like
45:55
picture and talk like Batman and Cuomo a less fun
46:00
reveal but nonethelessly real Rugpool. It was fun. The real crap.
46:07
The height was does he have nipple rings or not? Right?
46:11
You know? And I was like, we're healthy of that,
46:13
We're guilty of that. I mean we too. We brought
46:18
on forensic analysts to look at the pictures with us,
46:22
people who do body modification and body art. They were like,
46:25
they're like it's hard to tell, like what what would
46:28
that be? And then what should Cuomo be wearing down there?
46:32
If you know what I'm saying. And then but it
46:34
also makes me ask the question like does our Democrats
46:41
and Republicans leaving like, you know, money on the table
46:46
by not electing or nominating hotter people because it seems
46:52
like America and the Internet is desperate for somebody, right Trudeau?
47:00
Like they were like, true, so sexy, And then I
47:03
was like, Trudeau's incredibly bad and also racist, But I
47:08
think that I think, honestly, at the the thing that
47:11
all of these people have in common is that they
47:14
they have perceived like values and they have a very clear,
47:18
like a philosophy that bends towards doing the right thing.
47:21
And what is just you know what I mean, because
47:25
I think if anything, the people just need to run
47:27
candidates that have a fucking spine, like not to say
47:32
quo mode. I mean, but at the time, his whole
47:34
thing was like I'm gonna do what's right. I'm gonna
47:36
be like calm, steady leadership, and the singular goal is
47:39
to do what's right for everybody. And so people like,
47:41
oh wow, this is interesting. Mothers like this guy. He
47:45
can't be phased. He's in a singular pursuit of like
47:47
what is right, I guess, And but people have many
47:50
different views of what is quote unquote right in that sense.
47:52
So there's like, get Trump's asked because I hate him
47:55
or whatever. Vauci the same thing. He's like a scientist,
47:58
he's a man of science, and he's like trying to
48:01
do what's right to help everybody. And Zelinski is the same.
48:04
They're like, you know, who wouldn't want to charismatic leader
48:07
who is able to like rouse the people and unify
48:10
them against like a common threat. And so you look
48:14
at a lot of the people who like our politicians
48:17
in the United States, like it's clear to everyone. Everyone's like,
48:20
no one like they our attitude towards are elected officials
48:23
like I mean, yeah, they're gonna say the right thing.
48:25
Very few of them give a fuck, so like whatever.
48:29
So then the bar is really low when someone comes
48:31
by and it's like, actually, no, this is the right
48:33
thing and we need to do it. And I was like,
48:37
this person is doing They're not a fucking you know,
48:40
and invertebrate who can just like you know, mucus mucus
48:44
shape shift out of the room and act like they
48:46
weren't in there saying a bunch of other stuff to people. Yeah, alright,
48:50
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
49:02
we're back, and you know, at the risk of making
49:07
the world see even worse. Dr Oz, that's it, all right,
49:13
Dr No. So he's he's running for the Republican Senate
49:17
seat in Pennsylvania, and we had we had checked in
49:21
when he first announced his campaign announced trying to check
49:24
in again because he was at sea pack this weekend
49:27
the Conservative Coachella along with other Republican Senate hopeful looking
49:33
to make a good impression, and he caught people's attention
49:38
by I mean, I don't know what there was not
49:43
really not anything noteworthy from from Sepack, but well one
49:48
his other strategy seems to have been tweeting that he
49:50
wants to debate Fauci like over and over again. Oh
49:54
my god, find a new personality already mem it really yeah,
49:59
he tweet did on Valentine's Day, hold onto your butts
50:04
at nine eleven am, so you know, do with that
50:06
way you will you and get into that numerology. Roses
50:10
are red, violets are blue. Dr Fauci lied to you.
50:13
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone except Fauci exclamation point That
50:18
poem sucks. Broy it to tell you, but your your
50:23
meter is all the way fucked. That's an insane thing
50:26
to tweet, like you went out of your way on
50:29
Valentine's Day? Why who knows to right and make a
50:33
meme of Dr Fauci like let it go and you're wrong.
50:39
I think he's jealous that people that some people said
50:41
they wanted to fuck Fauci and nobody said that about
50:45
Dr Oz and I and I look, and he's also
50:47
he has the swag of someone who has no idea
50:50
of the landscape and very narrowly as like around a
50:54
bunch of idiotic yes people who are like, you're kind
50:57
of like the rights answer to doctor Fouchi, because you're
51:00
also doctor So. I think going head to head, you know,
51:04
like a lot of people already or anti fouch So,
51:07
I think that's a wave you could ride all the
51:09
way to not the Senate, but go on, sir, uh
51:12
do your thing. But it just like it just seems like,
51:16
why why are you trying to like like draft off
51:19
of this thing. Yeah. So, the the other theme that
51:22
he has, other than the well thought out and articulate
51:26
fuck Fauci side of his campaign is cancel culture. So
51:31
in his commercials, Oz claims that Republicans have been silenced
51:34
too long and he has been canceled. Which, bro, You've
51:39
had a syndicated daily TV show for thirteen years, Like
51:45
what could anyone anywhere be less silenced than doctor Oz,
51:52
somebody who's spent thirteen years until he chose to end
51:55
the show to run for Senate, Right, who who spent
51:59
thirteen years like giving out medically dubious advice to people
52:03
and was allowed to do so because we live in
52:06
a world where like profit and eyeballs is the only
52:09
thing that matters. I mean, the only thing I could
52:12
say that it makes sense to say we've been silenced
52:15
is if you're just an outright racist, like nativist, like
52:20
absolutely irredeemable human being, and you're like, I haven't been
52:25
able to say my racist ship out loud for too
52:28
long now, silence too long because society had evolved past this.
52:33
His example, his version of canceled is being criticized. That's yeah,
52:38
that's canceled. That's also critical race theory. Jack all right,
52:42
that's everybody on that side of the account accountability right now.
52:47
They're trying to cancel me. I just asked you a
52:49
very straightforward question. What the funk were you thinking with
52:52
that Valentine's stay post. I just asked to be believe
52:56
in evolution. My wife canceled me because I've been having
53:00
an affair with her sister. Unbelievable cancel. It's just it's
53:04
out of control now. So the one thing that he's
53:07
glimbed onto is the Philadelphia inquire he he did. I'll
53:11
just describe this ad he did where he's walking toward
53:14
a camera holding up a copy of The Philadelphia Inquired.
53:17
Like Harrison Ford in a movie where he's you ever
53:22
noticed he's always crumpling paper. My friend justin Drums always
53:25
pointed that out. Hare's a Ford loves to get a
53:27
handful of papers and crumple it and taking in people's direction. Anyways,
53:31
is that his? Is that his Brad Pitt eating or
53:33
Tom Hanks p Yeah, it kind of is like he doesn't.
53:36
I don't know that he like asks to put it
53:38
in the in the script as much. But if he
53:41
if he interacts with paper, the director, you lease, don't
53:43
crumple it. Damn well, bet he's gonna crumple it and
53:47
it's gonna look good. He's like, oh you mean this
53:50
John Quincy Adams, He's like the concerts one hand. He's
53:54
waving it in one hand to get it out of here. Yeah.
53:58
Just picture him saying, they swift us examples, so you
54:00
could have Provassic Fugitive comes back. Yeah. Anyways, he's walking
54:08
towards the camera, says The Philadelphi Inquire had me on
54:11
their front page as doctor Oz. This morning they just
54:14
announced no more doctor. Even though I'm a practicing physician,
54:19
I'm taking care of patients. I've done thousands of heart surgeries.
54:22
They don't want to call me doctor anymore. I won't
54:25
be canceled. So which that that feels like a completely
54:31
fine thing for them to decide just on their own,
54:35
But it was just actually a result of the Paper
54:40
Style Committee determining not to refer to candidates with doctor
54:43
in their headlines. They did the same thing with a
54:46
Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania. Yeah, who's I think also running
54:50
in that primary. Yeah, he's like also running. They're like,
54:54
they're a doctor. They don't have a problem. They're not
54:56
saying they got canceled because they're like, we don't want
54:58
to somehow just that putting that like honorific would like,
55:03
you know, maybe tinge someone's idea of like how qualified.
55:07
They're like, oh doctor, huh as jam is always good
55:10
at doing he's he's also checked the merch page for
55:14
the Doctors campaign and they have a killer white tea
55:18
with Oz's logo on the back and say kill whitey.
55:22
What's that? Did you say, kill whitey? Did I say, uh,
55:26
plain white tea? Er killer said? I said plain white?
55:36
I was so confused. More accurate also more more historically accurate.
55:42
Killer White But anyways, the front of Killer White Teeth
55:47
says won't be canceled, which is not not catchy at all,
55:51
My man, like, we need, we need some words. Smith's
55:53
working for you, don't you have like TV writers from
55:55
your days having a TV show. But they were like,
55:58
I will not work with him outside of my job
56:01
at DRAR And then he's also hitting the road peddling
56:05
his wares and campaign in sports bars and laser tag arcades. Um, yeah, look,
56:14
I worked. I worked a few years in my youth
56:17
at a very prominent laser arc laser tag spot. I
56:20
don't know who the fuck you think you're getting to
56:24
at the laser tag spot, but okay, it's a very
56:28
clearly poorly planned campaign right for a very lucky few.
56:33
He will give people a blood pressure reading. It's just
56:38
so poorly thought through, like they're like, step right up
56:42
and put on this cuff and Dr Oz will read
56:45
numbers off the dial wild and not surprisingly, he might
56:51
be the better candidate of the to Republicans. The other
56:55
guy is super well funded by American oligarchs. He is
57:00
kind of an oligarch himself, a former huge head fund
57:03
CEO who's worked worked in the George W. Bush administration,
57:09
currently married to Goldman Sachs executive and former Trump Deputy
57:12
National Security advisor Dina Dina pal So. The the bona
57:19
fide is they're pretty great. And McCormick, the other Jews,
57:23
desperately trying to get the MAGA crowd on his side,
57:26
recently made headlines for a commercial feature in the Let's
57:30
Go Brandon chant that played during the Super Bowl. So,
57:34
I don't know, two great options for the people of Pennsylvania. Also, yeah,
57:38
like when you a little Pope pompon further review, campaign
57:41
advisors Hope Picks and Stephen Miller. Yeah, that's kind of
57:46
the that's that's the key point. But I skipped over there.
57:49
Hope Picks and Steven Miller can't can't really bounce back
57:53
from having intentionally hiring Steven Miller, Like that's no, as
57:59
we love and they call and teenage Mutant, Ninja Girbals
58:01
teenage mutic and Ninja gar Bowls teenage mut and Ninja Gurbs.
58:07
All right, well, you know, good luck to them both,
58:11
and by that, bad luck to you. And by that
58:14
we mean, yeah, I goes the opposite for you. Yeah,
58:19
hoping for the opposite but Becky, you're saying you're a
58:22
huge Dr Oz fan, Corse Oprah stars. You know what
58:27
I'm saying, questionable on TV? What what was the show
58:34
with Dr Phil recently? Wasn't there like some revelations that
58:38
he's a They're all bad? There's a lot of people
58:41
she's put on TV that you're like Oprah. It's like
58:44
the dark, like Horse and Oprah's Closet, Like oh yeah,
58:48
Oprah Champion, you know, like pillar in the black community,
58:52
like the Oprah. But then you're like, just put a
58:55
lot of questionable people on TV. Yeah, what about ian Lah? Okay?
59:01
You know, I don't know. I haven't looked into it,
59:03
but I can't imagine. You can't imagine she's okay. I
59:08
can't imagine she can't imagine she hasn't killed at least
59:10
a couple of people since last we paid attention. Also,
59:15
super producer on a Hosnie is revealing that yan La
59:20
and Oprah our beef in Yeah, I on the Fix
59:29
My Life. That's just my my favorite title of a
59:32
TV show because it was so in your face. It
59:34
was like fix my Life. Really. That really kind of
59:39
makes the Yana character very very powerful. I love that well.
59:44
Becau as always such a pleasure having you on t
59:48
d Z. Where can people find you? Follow you all
59:51

59:57

1:00:00
s R A MS on all platforms, and I'm primarily
1:00:04
on Instagram, so Twitter scares me. Very normal response and
1:00:11
is there a tweet or some of the work of
1:00:13
social media you've been enjoying. I do actually have a tweet, though,
1:00:18
because the only reason why on Twitter now is because
1:00:20
I worked at the show. I mean I've had a Twitter,
1:00:22
I just don't use it unless I'm looking for stuff
1:00:25
to the show. But my very very funny friend Joanne tweeted,
1:00:30
which I think is appropriate for Uh, you know it's
1:00:33
ash Wednesday. You know it's technically a religious time. Join
1:00:37
and I are both not religious people. They tweeted, fuck
1:00:41
just spent forty days and fort nights praying to the
1:00:43
wrong god. So embarrassing. Oh my god, Joanne, j O
1:00:50
A N N E suk suk miles. Where can people
1:00:55
find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh? Man? Uh? Twitter, Instagram,

1:01:03
Day Fiance with Sophia Alexandra talking ninety day and married
1:01:06

Some tweets that I like. The first one is from
1:01:12
Matt x I V at Matt x i V on Twitter.
1:01:15
It says choose your Fighter and it's two screen caps.
1:01:18

1:01:28

other visual is at go God Daily. Sorry about the
1:01:39
lack of updates. Got arrested at a Ukraine Russia war
1:01:42

1:03:45
so weird. Like an article just came out I forgot
1:03:48
by who I was just looking at it that pulled
1:03:52
all the times he's lied in pressed junkets, just like
1:03:56
I think there's like over thirty different in his entire
1:03:59
span of his career since like Harry Potter to now,
1:04:02
like all the different weird ship that he's just lied
1:04:05
about on public press. Are you going to talk about that?

1:04:22
He's hard for robbing movie on Goblet of Fires, what
1:04:26

think he's Cedric Degree in Goblet of Fire Harry Potter
1:04:35
movie number four, Book number four. Yeah, he's super hot.
1:04:41
He doesn't make it right, he's he gets no, he doesn't.
1:04:44
He dies. Yeah, yeah, spoiler alert, Yeah is it? At
1:04:51
first it was the lack of people of color that
1:04:53
kept me from watching it. And now you're telling me
1:04:55
that Robert Pattinson dies. This fool loves to die and stuff.
1:05:00

song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, what's the
1:05:49
song that we think these listeners might enjoy? Let's go
1:05:53
out on a track from you know, another native of
1:05:56
the San Fernando Valley find Lotus Office first Out, one
1:06:00
of his first published albums. And it's not on Spotify
1:06:03
because the label that like put it out like it's
1:06:06
just I don't know, refusing to put it on Spotify.
1:06:08
You can find other places like YouTube. But this track
1:06:10
is called three. It's such a good instrumental track. It
1:06:15
feels like I don't even know it's it's just a
1:06:17
It's like a wonderful instrumental track, and I think serves
1:06:20
as a very good gateway into other Flying Vators work.
1:06:23
But yeah, fly level fast. What is the year nineteen eight? Three?
1:06:27
Make you think of the year before I was born?
1:06:29
Becca uh Richard Nixon. I don't know. Do you said Greece?
1:06:40
I was gonna say the band Oh? Is that the nineties? Oh?
1:06:45
I don't even know anymore, the one that does the
1:06:48
tastes like chocolate. Yeah, yeah, that's a whole decade. It's
1:06:55
funny to me, how like I have a very clear
1:06:57
demarcation of the difference between eighties nineties and seventies, but
1:07:01
it all bleeds together for them, the younger folks. Okay,
1:07:06
I just don't like being on the spot. I have
1:07:09
a soft spot for lots of eighties movies. In my
1:07:11
little emo phase, I was a big John Hughes head
1:07:14
and I watched every John Hughes movie, So I do. Yeah.
1:07:20
I used to love all of them. But now as
1:07:23
someone who likes to be film, I don't know. I
1:07:28
like to watch film now in a more enlightened way.
1:07:31
I'm like, Okay, there's a lot of problems with a
1:07:33
lot of these movies from the eighties. Pis. Yeah, I
1:07:36
think I think of like et or one of the
1:07:38
Star Wars movies, but like, I don't even think any
1:07:41
of them came out in But I think of like
1:07:45
people with Luke Skywalker hair. That's what I picture, Oh right,
1:07:50
the hair, So yeah, yeah, and then everyone was a
1:07:52
surfer in the night. All right, we'll go check that
