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.

01:35
It's one of our favorite guests on t v Z,
01:37
one of your favorite guests. Please welcome the brilliant and
01:40
talented Teresa Lee. Go go. Where's my test today? I've
01:48
isolated five days. I like it now or ever, where's
01:53
my test today? I took the bay I ordered on
01:57
FedEx Sunday, but I never got it in the mail.
02:01
What the funk? L A, Okay, that's I wrote that
02:03
just now, but it's already won over a week ago
02:08
and I did not get it, and I went in person.
02:10
I took one and I was negative, but I still
02:12
haven't got my home test. Yeah, well, you know it's uh.
02:16
I don't know why this country can do so many
02:20
things except the just the real simple ship like a test.
02:24
I think they're still building the government too. We've given
02:27
somebody tests, yeah exactly. Just had to buy masks for
02:32
our kids, so like and masks with dinosaurs on them,
02:37
and they are so fucking expensive. It's like, yo, they
02:40
should The government is sending these out to everyone. On
02:44
top of making it really clear that ninety five is
02:48
pretty much what they're all saying is like you should
02:50
you need to do surgical or better, don't work around
02:52
with cloth masks with a macron because it's, uh, this
02:55
is this isn't this is this? Ain't it? The school
03:00
will accept nothing less at this point. And yeah, I
03:04
mean it makes like other countries out are shipping like
03:07
they'll just ship you test regular release, so you have
03:10
to take it before you even order it. It's like
03:12
we're like, I don't know just what you mushrooms again?
03:16
You trip in hallucinating stuff in that country that's sending
03:19
people tests. A funny you say that I did do
03:23
mushrooms and go to see the Enchanted Force of Light
03:25
this weekend. Oh it's fun. It was really nice after
03:28
I got my negative tests. Is that in this cancel? Yeah? Yeah,
03:34
that's that's just slept on botanical garden. Yeah, I mean
03:38
it's really it really did feel like because at first
03:40
I was like this is really wholesome, but I'm like,
03:42
this is probably the part when I get dragged to
03:44
festivals that I like anyways, the like lights and pretty flowers,
03:48
it's like I don't like the loud music or the people.
03:51
So I mean, I know I like the people. Some
03:54
people like that. I I don't like crowds, not like
03:57
specifically hate everyone, but but you go to these like
04:00
gardens and it's like very family friendly, cute flowers and
04:03
you can just roam around and just enjoy and kind
04:06
of get lost, and like this is dies like why
04:11
this has slept on? For sure? Yeah, that is one
04:13
of the handful of events that I went to that
04:16
I brought my kids to and desperately wished that I
04:19
had been on mushrooms. Well was there that did you go?
04:24
You went recently to, like a year ago or two
04:27
years ago? Yeah? That dis cancels always where people go
04:31
to take like their family photos to like you always
04:35
see people doing like first birthday photos and ship like
04:38
it would always be like a child who is incapable
04:41
of sitting still for a photo and they're like a
04:43
guy with six cameras and like stressed out of parents,
04:45
and I'm like, there's that's always a mainstay at dis
04:48
canceled Card. No, it's just a good place to let
04:52
them run. It's funny to watch the photos being taken
04:56
at something like that because you really can see where
04:59
there's different like agendas of people who have come together
05:02
then make that event. Like you see the pr girls
05:04
work in the like giant drink cabin and it's all
05:07
lit up with a flancy arrow and like sparkling lights,
05:10
and then there's like you know, very easy to read
05:12
signs are like go this way for the like you know,
05:15
fairy fairy lights are like you know, two lips. And
05:17
then like behind in the dark there's like in actual
05:20
like probably the botanists or the scientists who actually like
05:23
spend the tax dollars to make it. It's like really
05:26
dense writing and it's all in the dark, covered by leaves.
05:28
It's like you want to learn about trees and you
05:30
have to like go off the like it's not even lit.
05:32
It's like nobody wants to learn about tree yea, And
05:38
all the photos are just being taken in the light
05:40
and like the cool gast flowers are in the corner,
05:42
like we are cool too, Like nobody wants to look
05:45
at them. One of the few places where the oak
05:48
coverage is expanding naturally in l A County. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
05:52
where's the hot chacolate? Yeah, that's right, all right, Theresa.
05:59
Weird to get to know you a little bit better
06:01
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
06:03
few of the things that we're talking about today. We're
06:06
talking about what what's going on with the mandates. Why
06:09
isn't Biden doing anything about those mandates? I have no
06:12
no clue, can't can't possibly guess, nor can I guess
06:16
why Florida having a low death rate in context of
06:22
how high their hospitalizations are. That continues to be a story,
06:26
even though we know that they are hacking their numbers,
06:30
they are just not letting the death the deaths be reported. Essentially,
06:36
we'll talk a little bit more about it. We we
06:38
talked about it last year, and like how they're basically
06:40
delaying any death, like the people calling a death a
06:44
COVID death until like two weeks after it happened, and
06:48
then that death only gets reported four two weeks ago.
06:52
So instead of being like, okay, now that it's been called,
06:55
we count that as a death today, it doesn't get
06:58
counted as death today. It gets counted as death two
07:00
weeks ago. And it's just a blatant like plan to
07:05
hack the way the mainstream media reports COVID stats. And
07:10
wouldn't you know it, the front page of MSN dot
07:14
com head the headline Florida's COVID cases and hospitalizations are surging,
07:20
but the state has the second lowest death rate in
07:22
the nation. What's going on? And then doesn't Yeah, it
07:26
doesn't tell the truth until like three paragraphs, and so
07:29
we'll talk about that. Uh, we're gonna talk about it's
07:32
Girl Scout cookie season. It's upon us and the you know,
07:37
there's two cookies that were new last year that are holdovers,
07:41
adventure Fuls and toast yeahs toast, Yeah, it's a play
07:46
on toast. They say it's a play on toast. E h,
07:51
that doesn't that's not how we're playing works though, right,
07:54
Like yeah, anyways, they're like French toasts and adventure foles
07:58
are chocolate caramel to kick concoctions cocaine users breakfast. Yes,
08:03
so we're gonna talk about that, and the fact that
08:06
depending on where you live, there two very different Girl
08:09
Scout cookie manufacturers that make cookies, both with different names
08:14
and also like different totally different like concepts, and in
08:18
one case, the s'more cookies, like they don't look at
08:21
anything alike. Oh, I feel like I vaguely this is
08:25
a conspiracy we used to have, like as Girl Scouts
08:28
were like why are they called different things in different places?
08:30
And that's a mystery, but we we didn't know back
08:34
in the day. Yeah, no, legit. I was like, the
08:36
Girl Scouts have gotten rid of or they've changed the
08:39
names of Samoa's too, Caramel Delights. I was the Karma
08:42
Delight girl. I was like what, I was so confused,
08:45
And then peanut butter Patty instead of tag along. Yeah,
08:50
it's I always assumed they were at some phase of
08:53
like at some stage of phasing one out and adding another.
08:56
End turns out, nope, there's just two different manufacturers to
09:00
make different cookies. Even the thin Mint is like pretty
09:04
wildly different. So we'll we'll talk about that all of
09:07
that plenty more. But first, Teresa most importantly, we do
09:11
like to ask our guests, what is something from your
09:14
search history? Oh yeah, I searched this this morning because well,
09:19
I searched how to replace a previous key battery because I,
09:26
as you know, I went to the Disconnot Gardens this weekend,
09:28
but as you did not know, I lost my backpack
09:32
on the lift home, as I can only imagine, which
09:36
is okay. I mean, it was annoying, but I what
09:38
I realized. The best thing about losing everything in the
09:41
New Year's it's kind of like just zero some m
09:43
You're like, hey, it just pretend it happened last year,
09:46
and it's like it doesn't matter. Yeah, you know, it's
09:53
like a new star reset. It's fine. But then in
09:56
the backpack was my keys as well, and so I
10:00
had to come back to my place to get my
10:02
spare key. It was the whole thing turned out did
10:05
not have battery. Went to CBS, bought the battery that
10:08
the Google said was the wrong battery. So life's going
10:12
well right out. But you know, somebody got to go
10:15
to a dealership or some ship to get that ship.
10:17
I'll probably no, I think I can go to yes, possibly,
10:20
but I think I have to go to um like
10:22
home Depotion and get the right battery. They didn't have
10:24
it a TVs. I your car is still there. No,
10:28
so I was able to like manually open it. But
10:30
it's the smart it's this is so boring, but the
10:33
smart lot, Like in order to turn it on, I
10:36
have to like press, press it visit manually instead of
10:40
like you have to p there's a way to do it.
10:41
You press the key to the button and then pressed
10:43
the brain. Yeah, what kind of battery you working with? Their?
10:46
Well I two and it was wrong. I guess I've
10:54
turned into like a fifty year old just like what
10:58
kind of entire size which I'm on that I have
11:00
to say, I'm desperately interested in, Like you talking, are
11:04
you in the car? Are you in car mode? Now? No?
11:06
I just I figured out how to change my keys
11:09
batteries and so it's like the hand the one handy
11:13
thing I've done in the last few months. It is
11:17
a rush though I didn't realize like all this stuff,
11:19
like how you know the stereotype like girls do crafts,
11:21
guys do cars, But then when you actually break it down,
11:23
it's the same feeling like when you're starting to open
11:26
up a thing and fix it. I'm like, this reminds
11:28
me of so like I'm like this, it was like
11:31
it brings me back to arts and crafts. And now
11:33
I'm like I understand why, like guys like to work
11:36
on electronics because it's sort of like taking care of
11:39
something that won't die. You can't hurt it. Really, you know,
11:43
it's a battery for all this battery replacement talker, tell
11:46
me why my mazdaki has not had a battery since
11:51
we started this podcast. Wow, I've been taking out like
11:58
the opened the door, then I gotta press my button
12:02
on the ignition and whenever I have I'm in a
12:04
valet situation and taking like fifteen miss like look, bro,
12:07
the batteries that you gotta touch it to this thing
12:09
or it's not gonna start. Like yeah, we get it,
12:10
your lazy piece of ship. And I haven't changed it
12:13
in ages. And then the pandemic happened. I'm like, well,
12:15
what the fund does it matter? And I find myself
12:18
in the same place now. So you've inspired me to
12:20
perhaps change this myself and to move on to But
12:23
you've actually given yourself this interesting moment because by waiting
12:26
so long, you're almost gifting yourself this like really like
12:30
when I have things I want to do list that
12:32
last way too long, it becomes that's the new norm,
12:34
you know, like how you side forever, it's you get
12:38
to go. Yeah, if you get to just once open
12:40
your car door without like the old old way again,
12:43
it's gonna feel like ten times better than if you
12:45
had changed that battery a year ago, you know what
12:47
I mean. And now it's gonna make your whole week.
12:50
It makes people fucking nervous because like they see me
12:53
like going through like I'm at the grocery store, be
12:55
like a white woman or a car, and I'm like
12:56
going through my pockets like let me get my ship
12:58
real quick because I don't have I can't just hit
13:00
the button opening and they're always like looking at me
13:03
like it's a key and I'm open, thank you. But yeah,
13:06
there's there there are physical emotions to it that I
13:09
realized are like we're kind of in certain aspects we
13:12
don't we've moved forward from like unlocking a car with
13:15
your key. It feels like something for strange, the working people,
13:20
not the elevated folks West Hollywood. Yeah, I have a
13:25
theory that the reason you haven't done. That is because
13:28
like having kids provides you with so many moments of
13:32
boredom that you like think, you like make to do
13:35
lists and ship and that's the only right because that
13:37
that is Anyone who knew me before I had kids
13:40
would tell you that like having no batteries and a
13:43
key or having the lights out in like every room
13:47
of my house except one was like the sort of
13:50
ship that I would just my brain would just be like, okay,
13:53
so we don't have lights in here now, but I
13:56
think the boredom parenthood, yeah, in order to But you're
14:00
saying you're board from having a child. It's so having
14:04
would your wife feel about this statement? Because I feel
14:07
like a bared kids. You're constantly taking care of the kids,
14:21
but there's also like you're doing it and then like
14:25
they are playing or you know, asking you a question
14:28
every like ten minutes. But it's it's a lot of
14:32
like you have to be there, you have to be
14:33
with them, you have to be like ready to answer
14:35
a question or like you know, put a band aid
14:38
on something. But a lot of it is just your
14:41
brain is like so standby. I feel like it's a
14:46
drastically different experience, like even when both parents are as involved,
14:52
Like I think the mother brain is just wired in
14:54
a way. Because I had this convo with my boyfriend
14:56
because he sometimes watches my dog, and when my dog
14:59
is over, I'm the only one who takes about in
15:01
the morning, and I was like, I think he needs
15:02
to pee, and he's like, now he's good. Like no,
15:04
it's like if we leave now, it's it's gonna be
15:06
like six hours before we come back. And and then
15:09
in his mind he's like, well, when he stays over
15:11
with me, he's always good. I'm like, yeah, that's because
15:13
it's like one day at a time. I was like, oh,
15:15
it's Grandma's house. And I'm like, now, imagine if you
15:17
had him for a whole month, Like he's gonna be
15:19
waking up at seven am, like every morning. I have
15:21
to do this every day. There's not a day off.
15:23
You don't get a prize because you remember to do
15:25
it once. It's just like, yeah, this is just your life.
15:28
I'm like, if we have kids, you're gonna be like
15:30
I changed a diaper. I'm good for a month now, right,
15:33
I'm like, I think the baby needs the diapers. Now,
15:35
they're good. They're it happens every couple of hours. You
15:41
what's his name? What's his name? Bitcoin? Wow, okay, this
15:50
makes sense. Now what is what something you think is overraged? Oh? Okay,
15:55
this is a real basic. But I think strawberries because
15:58
I was eating one strawberries. I always buy raspberries. I'm
16:01
a raspberry gout. I don't know. Strawberries are everywhere. I'm
16:04
not saying they're not good. I'm just saying they're like
16:06
they have way too much type everything strawberries, strawberry showerry.
16:09
You put them on pancakes. Raspberries are better. And I
16:12
actually got strawberries. They look good. I cut them up.
16:14
They're just fine. Like I see your face, Miles, and
16:19
I acknowledge. It's more like because I think I don't
16:23
I don't really have a berry in this fight. But
16:25
I know that they're always better when it's hotter. That's
16:28
the one thing. Like whenever you get in the winter,
16:31
the strawberries aren't as good than they are like when
16:34
it's warmer, because I know, because what most of our
16:36
strawberries in California grown in California. Anyway, It's like the
16:40
real prime time is like in fed like starts in
16:43
February or something. That's a good Yeah, that's a good point.
16:46
Like I feel like we have gotten to a point
16:49
where we just expect every fruit to be in season
16:52
all the time. The only season that I'm aware of
16:55
is easy season. Easy seasons of course, but like in
17:01
terms of produce, also easy season. I do love easy
17:06
produced but peaches. Peaches are drastically different. For less a
17:10
month in the summer, like in like July August, they're
17:14
just like holy shit, and then every other time it's
17:16
just like but I agree. Like strawberries, I probably don't
17:20
pick close enough attention to them, but especially like there's
17:24
nothing worse than like a chunk of frozen strawberry, as
17:27
opposed to if you get like a frozen raspberry or something.
17:30
It's like having a treat, but a chunk of frozen strawberries.
17:34
Like I have a good strawberries, but just in general,
17:37
the ones that grocery store and perhaps I'm not chopping
17:39
in the right season, but the best ones I've ever
17:41
had where like in Japan, where they don't they're not
17:43
like engineer and they look not that sweet, but they're
17:46
they're small and almost like not red, but they're really sweet.
17:49
The ones you look red and huge and they just
17:51
taste like fine. Right. There's actually a really good New
17:54
Yorker article about the picking of berries and like how
17:58
they haven't been able to fully like robotize it yet
18:02
that they do talk about how the entire like evolution
18:05
of strawberries has been towards big, bright red and and
18:09
like regardless of taste. Yeah, they just like don't take
18:14
taste on it because it's all about, like people, what
18:16
is going to look best to people in the produce as.
18:19
I think that's probably a uniquely America. That's that's why
18:23
I like a good farmers market, because they're not gonna
18:25
fun like they're gonna tell you straight up. They're like
18:27
no, no no, no, I would wait on those. They're like,
18:28
I mean, if you need strawberries or something, you can
18:30
get those, Like these apples are better right now, you know,
18:33
unless how you start learning the waves, man, apples stay good.
18:37
I love I love app Okay apple? Gang? Oh wow
18:44
that apple? Or did you are you done with that?
18:45
How how close to the court there? No, No, this
18:48
is an all day process, I was saying. I always
18:52
talk about one of my earliest memories of driving the
18:54
car with My dad used to have this Toyota truck
18:57
is like work trug. It was fucked up and it
18:59
would have apple cores all on the dash board and
19:03
in various like states of being dehydrated by the California
19:07
l a son. And my mom would always be so
19:09
mad at him for having all his apple all these
19:11
apple cores and car taking me to school and ship
19:13
and he's like, I guess fine, it's apples. I eat
19:14
apples a day. I remember him eating them to the
19:19
fucking core, like and I remember the first time I
19:21
had apple. I tried to get there and I'm like,
19:23
this is this is too intense. I can't get down
19:25
like that. Yeah did they ever sprout? No? No, they
19:29
would just turn brown and like you know, sound like
19:32
a like fucking like a dish sponge. Yeah, smells start
19:36
smelling like some some form. Yeah, exactly. What is something
19:42
you think is underrated? Teresa? Okay, I think this is
19:46
like gonna sound strange, but I shall explain. Okay, I
19:50
underrated just like baggage like can like but people with
19:53
baggage as adults. And I would go even so far
19:56
as to say, like this is because I was reacting
19:58
to how we're obsessed with you and like having like
20:01
you know, like over sexualizing sort of being young and
20:04
pure and innocent. And I'm like, I really, the more
20:07
I think about it, the more I'm like, you know,
20:08
what's actually fun? It's like consensual adult sex with baggage,
20:12
you know what I mean. Like that's the opposite and
20:14
what you would think when they're selling like, oh my god,
20:16
pure innocent. But it's like I think that that's the
20:20
most fun when two people, you know what I mean,
20:23
like two people who are working on themselves. I'm not like, oh,
20:25
I hate my baggage, but like two people with baggage
20:27
who are like, hey, I did the work and now
20:30
we're adults, and we're also like, I mean that is it?
20:35
Is it baggage? Right? Because you're talking about like what's
20:37
better than self aware of people being passionate and up
20:41
like you know, but that's not what we're being told.
20:44
We're being sold like the idea of like oh, like
20:46
the innocent and pure and like that's actually kind of
20:49
annoying to be honest, like you know, let the kids
20:52
have their innocence, but like that's annoying. I don't want
20:55
to be around someone immature, and so I think we
20:58
should start actually marketing, like just like you know, our
21:01
icons are sports illustrated models should just straight up be like,
21:04
I'm a mother divorce and I also am in therapy,
21:08
so it's like, woo, isn't that hot? Like that should be.
21:11
It's like dad didn't reach out till my first magazine cover.
21:15
But I don't hold it against you. I have power
21:17
to make my life better and I chose to be
21:20
here and you're like, damn, that does not define me. Though. Yeah,
21:22
I know that's interesting. I mean, I yeah, there is
21:25
something too like it says. I don't know, just in general,
21:29
there's something attractive about people who can be like who
21:33
are aware of like the ship that they've been through,
21:35
how it's affected them, and also being like and I know,
21:38
I kind of gotta work on that kind of thing
21:40
versus I remember when I was younger, you deep, you know,
21:43
when you have no awareness around your own ship, it
21:45
just looks like to fucking Tasmanian devils, like emotional Tasmanian
21:49
devils be near each other. Yeah, I like a I
21:52
like a little bit of thinking awareness for sure. Yeah,
21:56
especially like the the idea of like innocence and not
22:00
anybody who in the current world is just like I'm good,
22:04
Like you know, I'm just like innocent and I don't
22:07
really I don't let this stuff get me down. Yeah,
22:12
it's like what stuff life reality, like the reality of
22:16
where we live. I feel like when I was, you know,
22:19
before the pandemic, and I was interacting more people and
22:21
like assessing people for new friendships and things. If people
22:24
seem too innocent, bro, we're not gonna get along. Like
22:28
you need to know you've stolen ship and I need
22:31
to know that, like you've screamed at the top of
22:34
your lungs at a parent because they didn't understand you
22:38
or some ship. Like when people are just like, yeah,
22:40
like this like Disney like energy, I'm like, yeah, that's
22:44
that Disney And because it's what it is is it's
22:46
almost like it's one thing to be happy and optimistic.
22:50
I'm like, nothing wrong with high happy energy as long
22:53
as you're aware of the truth. But I think the
22:55
energy of like everything's fine is almost like dystopian because
22:59
it's like, oh, you're gonna need my help when things
23:01
go wrong, because clearly you have not ever had to
23:04
solve you know what I mean that feeling like versus
23:06
someone who's like, hey, I can, like, you know, change
23:09
all of my car I could do this. Uh, and
23:11
so at the end of the day, I'm not gonna
23:13
like lean on you so hard, but I might, you know,
23:16
help you out. You can help me out, and it's cool.
23:19
Maybe come my surrogate emotional mother. Yeah, yeah, we will
23:24
negotiate the terms of this emotional handoff. But I don't worry. Yeah,
23:29
negost the emotion. I don't think Disney like affected me
23:33
that much. But I am only attracted to very happy,
23:36
positive orphans parents tragically when they were too young to
23:41
know them. Oh my gosh. Disney also sucked up like
23:44
how we see animals because I didn't realize this until recently,
23:47
because I'm like, we have to new to our dog.
23:49
That makes sense, yes, even though I was watching puppy
23:51
videos of Tibetan spaniels thinking how sad my dog will
23:54
never have a family of his own, And then I remember, like,
23:57
why did I love puppy so much? Growing up? All
23:59
the Disney movies, you just randomly go puppies, Like there's
24:02
just like families who have dogs and suddenly puppies. I'm like,
24:05
this is propaganda. How are you telling children that you
24:08
got a dog for as a pet and you could
24:10
have puppies when literally the Humane Society came to our
24:13
elementary schools had told us neuterin in Spain, it's fine
24:16
like that, we had bookmarks that said neuter and spay
24:19
your dogs. Damn. And at the same time, all the
24:22
cartoons are like puppies have families too, And you're like,
24:24
wait a minute, wait a minute, Oh, I mean I was.
24:28
It was one of my nieces, Like over the break,
24:30
they break their necks trying to look at a puppy anywhere. Puppy.
24:35
You're like, we're driving in a car, like I thought
24:39
some ship went down, but you just saw a puppy outside,
24:41
And I get that. Disney used Disney actually used like
24:45
baby animals to like hack what what we will find cute?
24:50
Like they used like the head shapes of baby hippos
24:55
and the head shapes of baby humans to design all
24:58
their cute animals. So yeah, there, you get it right there. Alright,
25:08
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And
25:21
we're back, and you know, people are starting to ask
25:24
the question that the Biden administration heading into the New
25:29
Year was talking a lot about mandates, and you know
25:32
how this was, we had deadlines. Everybody's gonna have to
25:36
quit their jobs if they wanted to stay with that
25:38
anti back ship. And it just seems like that is
25:42
stretching on the vaccine man dates aren't aren't really being
25:47
enforced that much, and people are asking why, whether it's
25:50
people fucking suing to stop it, and obviously many states
25:55
state attorneys general have you know, that's like a case
25:57
of the Supreme Court is hearing. There's been all kinds
26:00
of resistance, but I think one that hasn't really been
26:02
talked about a lot, or at least looked at enough,
26:05
is really what Corporate America's hand is in this, Because
26:09
at first it sounded like Corporate America was all on
26:11
board with this. We're like, yep, absolutely, They're like, you're
26:14
working here, you better get vaccinated. We see what the
26:18
economists are saying. If you know people are vaccinated, it
26:21
makes the situation more stable, really, which means we have
26:24
healthy people to buy our ship. But as like the
26:28
Biden administration's call for the vaccine mandates like grew larger
26:32
and louder and clearer, things apparently changed, and suddenly the
26:36
corporations have changed their tune. And I think since worker
26:40
safety means no money going to c suite bonuses, they're
26:44
very quickly be like, yeah, you know what, Actually, no, no no, no,
26:46
this is all bad and how's it happening. So this
26:48
is from the starticle quote um from Jacobin saying, just
26:52
analyzing where a lot of the corporate influence has been
26:55
exerted as it relates to mandates. Quote. Some of the
26:57
groups are fighting the mandate in court, while others have
26:59
been Some men comments to OSHA throughout the public comment
27:02
period for the new rule urging modification, clarification, or even
27:06
wholesale abandonment of the rule. And so what they're saying
27:10
is like these are industry lobbying groups who are just
27:12
getting all their hot takes in during the public comment period,
27:16
Like this is stupid, It's gonna funk up everything. Suddenly
27:20
they go on to say, quote, some corporate lobbying groups
27:22
want to revise Biden's vaccine and testing mandates to allow
27:25
for nonsensical exemptions for people who self attest that they
27:28
have been tested or have experienced quote natural infection and recovery.
27:33
And others want the rules scrapped outright, arguing that the
27:37
mandate will turn businesses into quote the government's instruments of
27:40
coercion against their own employees. Um So in short, he's
27:46
shook slash beholden to the groups. We saw with Djokovic
27:51
over the weekend that he basically waited waited out the
27:56
Australian government and there was enough pressure from the tennis
28:00
body to like let him play, and they were like,
28:03
oh he had COVID, okay, so he has these natural
28:08
were good. We're good as if you can't get it
28:11
more than one, like I know people who have got
28:12
it more than one vaccinated. Yeah. So essentially, like it's
28:17
just creating this environment, I think, not just as it
28:19
relates to this specific mandate, but like we're now we're
28:22
seeing people like teachers or flight attendants. They've suddenly become
28:26
like the front line in terms of advocating for workplace safety,
28:30
and not because like their revolutionaries, but because their employers
28:34
have put them in like an impossible position where they're
28:37
like no, like this is too much, like you're not
28:40
you're you're ignoring the spiking COVID cases. We've had coworkers
28:45
passed away at the environment. This is just too much.
28:47
I don't want to be out there. And currently, like
28:51
many flight attendants have been pleading for vaccine mandates on
28:55
flights in the in the US, like they're like, hey,
28:57
f A, what happened to this talk of like having
28:59
people like vaccinated on like airline flights. This is this
29:03
could be potentially great for us, because I don't know
29:06
if you've seen the news since flights started taken off again,
29:09
we're basically getting punched and having to tape people to
29:12
seats because they don't want to fucking wear masks. So
29:15
they're all saying, like anecdotally, like we very much see
29:18
a clear line between if there was like people who
29:20
funk with like vaccines or respect the mask, they're not
29:24
the kinds of people that end up assaulting us on flights.
29:27
So they're like, this would just be a tremendous weight
29:30
and safety concern lifted from our shoulders. But then like
29:34
when the White House Press Sector Jen Saki was asked
29:36
about it, she said quote, they had not heard that
29:39
explanation internally and and directed questions to the f a A.
29:45
The f a A A in turn referred the Daily Beast
29:48
was asking to the White house. It's almost like they
29:52
did none of these people should be in charge because
29:54
they basically are acting the way like a big companies whenever,
29:58
like a big company makes a new and everyone's like, wow,
30:00
why do we have to sit through this harassment training
30:02
or whatever? But it's like now the CEO is like what,
30:05
why do we have to do the thing? It's like
30:07
the thing that like rules, you don't like rules, the
30:10
thing that you make your employees do like hm, when
30:13
it applies to them, they just can't stand it, right,
30:16
And also like, so now I have to pay for
30:18
them to be tested. No, no, no, we're not doing
30:22
any of that. It's only cool when they pay my salary.
30:25
And they do work for absolutely. And they noted that
30:28
the flight attendants and teachers are the front lines because
30:31
they're almost all unionized, and that's thus they're able to
30:37
actually like bring a fight as opposed to other people
30:39
who are just getting fucking railroad up. And that's what's
30:42
wild too, right, the especially as it relates to Chicago,
30:45
you know, and you look on teacher Twitter, My god,
30:48
the things that like people are saying is happening in
30:51
their school district and the conditions they're made to work
30:53
in you'd be like, fuck, that is so it's so
30:57
fucked up. But again, because of the bunch of capitalism,
31:01
most people's responses like I go in because I can't
31:04
lose this job, like I'm already supporting family, Like I
31:07
can't this isn't when I have to look at up
31:10
like a decision to stay or find something else is
31:12
just easier for me to stay with this. But me
31:15
in the meantime, you have like politicians of the audacity
31:18
to be like these teachers are like out of line,
31:21
like abandoning these kids, like these kids and like I
31:25
heard you know, saying things like they're coming from homes
31:27
or the parents are struggling and need to go to work.
31:30
It's like, motherfucker. As a leader, why are you not
31:33
ideating around how you can keep those parents safe that
31:37
they're not having to be in an impossible situation like
31:40
well if I if I don't go to work, then
31:41
I lose my job. But if I but if but
31:44
my kids are not in school, So what am I
31:46
supposed to do? And just treating it like this unsolvable problem.
31:50
It's just really fucked up, just even how it's being
31:52
discussed out loud, and like hearing people take those, you know,
31:55
rhetorical arguments interesting. Yeah, are the teachers selfish? Yeah? I
32:01
also don't know all or even most flight attendants or
32:04
teachers are unionized, But I just I just know that
32:07
I've heard of the unions for those professions, so like that.
32:13
I'm not I'm not saying they're all unionized. I'm just
32:15
saying that that gives them at least a fucking foothold,
32:18
whereas a lot of the other professions, your Amazon delivery
32:24
and warehouse workers don't have that option. I will say
32:28
that when I searched our most flight attendants, the Google
32:32
auto complete number one with a bullet was single. So
32:36
people are just way too thirsty out here being like,
32:41
are you single? Are most attendant? That's like someone's weird
32:50
interpretation of being unionized. It's like they have they entered
32:53
a wholly union of matrimony. That's probably what it means.
32:56
That's how we get the evangelicals on board the union
33:01
with Christy. I mean, look at these people. Some of
33:06
these people are not even Christians and they're willing to
33:08
enter into a union with christ I mean, please, we
33:11
need your support for minimum ways, the Great collab the
33:15
labor the labor movement after the Great the Great collab Collabo. Alright,
33:27
let's talk about Florida real quick there. Yeah, so they
33:31
have low death rates. Recently, people are asking us to
33:36
solve the solve the riddle. Their COVID cases and hospitalizations
33:40
are surging, but the state has the second lowest death
33:43
rate in the nation. What's going on? So we talked
33:46
to a couple of months ago about how they changed
33:47
the way they were reporting COVID deaths so that when
33:51
a death was determined like weeks after it happened, that
33:56
death would only be counted to two weeks ago, as
33:59
opposed to revery other state, which is just giving it
34:01
to like the current day, which keeps things up to
34:06
date and at least like gives you the information as
34:09
constantly as possible and as like up to date, so
34:12
that people are like, oh ship, Florida deaths from COVID
34:16
are really going up, instead of oh ship, we're getting
34:19
a revision that says Florida deaths from COVID went up
34:23
a couple of weeks ago. They don't usually, It's like
34:27
it's like you have to go back and check it
34:29
every two weeks to actually see it. I'd be like
34:31
if you're like late every day, but instead of it's
34:33
like we won't marculate today and then in two weeks later. Yeah, exactly.
34:38
It's just you have to look at the rate from
34:41
like weeks ago to see. Yeah, it's very st if
34:45
you're a time traveler, though, do not go to Florida.
34:49
The COVID death rates from the past are mind blowing. Yeah, so,
34:53
I mean deaths are always a lagging indicator, Like we've
34:56
learned that by living through this pandemic. But there's is
34:59
like you know, doubling tripling the leg that we have.
35:04
We didn't always show going down to them because if
35:06
as you get visit the present day, so then it
35:08
always looks like we're want to decline in some ways exactly,
35:12
and you know that's that's how they do it. But
35:15
this MSN article is just like really buries that fact.
35:20
There's like a sentence about it. But they say experts
35:24
say several factors could explain the currently low rates. Florida's
35:27
horrific toll from Delta, and it's acquired resistance and vaccination
35:30
rates maybe buffering the state at a time when others
35:33
are contending with two variants, which doesn't really make sense.
35:36
And it is also like the anti bax ornies I've
35:41
got the antibodies don't give credence to that ship. Yeah,
35:46
And then only after that they say or because of
35:48
the white Florida reports COVID deaths, which already tend to
35:50
leg infections and hospitalizations, the true death rate from this
35:54
recent wave maybe too soon to know. And then somebody
35:57
later on does say that that it of always looks
36:01
makes it look like they're declining, even though what what's
36:04
really happening is that we're just learning later and attributing
36:07
those two earlier on. But it's just they did a
36:11
very specific thing too, with a very specific like aim
36:15
for their outcome, and it is working perfectly. And and
36:20
these fucking the treatments of this kind of news story
36:24
are they've completely fucked people's perception up of like what's
36:27
happening to because you could be like, damn, what's going
36:29
on Florida. Then you probably see Ron de Sant has
36:31
come out and he's like, so, you know, um, with COVID,
36:35
you know we're doing well. Do you see that clip
36:39
of him trying to like catch his breath at a
36:41
factory opening and it was like, are you hiding something, sir?
36:44
You you're either you are so emotional from this semiconductor
36:48
factory opening, or you are having serious troublereathing from potentially
36:53
respiratory passionate about his job. It chokes him up. Yeah right, yeah,
36:56
having to do it makes him sad. Right, and you
36:58
get this idea. It's like, well they got something right
37:01
by completely throwing out people's like basic rights to be
37:04
treated as a human being that should live like out
37:07
the window, and like their brute force policy is working.
37:11
Rather than just saying Florida, this story is just Florida
37:14
keeps lying about how the report and deaths there. It
37:19
is not m let's do this. They really did a
37:22
New York Times on that one. We got to go
37:23
through Florida's phone. Florida has been lying. Florida is hiding shit. Okay,
37:29
who's table talking Florida? What's going on? Any headline that
37:34
I mean this is not that our listenership is falling
37:37
for this, and this is more recovering the story as
37:39
an example of how the industry media is complicit and
37:42
all the misinformation that's going on. But any headline that
37:45
ends with what's going on. At the end, they're putting
37:48
out a bunch of different theories and it's probably completely bullshit.
37:54
It's like stirring your curiosity. But like, but your job
37:57
was supposed to ask this question internally and then figure
38:00
you're supposed to this is like the pitch to your editor,
38:02
and then you're supposed to figure out what's going on
38:04
and tell us. Buried in the article is a very
38:07
succinct description of what is happening, Like Florida is the
38:11
only state that reports COVID death to the Center of
38:13
Disease Control and Prevention by the date the death occurred,
38:17
rather than the date reported to the state, or a
38:19
combination of the two. According to a notation, the way
38:22
Florida reports can give the appearance overall deaths are decreasing.
38:26
The CDC notes this does not reflect a true decline
38:29
and data should be interpreted with caution. So, yeah, exactly
38:33
what you said, Teresa, that it gives the impression that
38:35
there's perpetual decrease and it's actually just slow reporting and
38:41
manipulation of the system. Yeah, what's going on? Then meanwhile,
38:45
says I see you beds are filling up. Is another
38:48
slug in that story it's like, Okay, it doesn't sound
38:52
like everything's doing great, but don't believe what you hear.
38:56
There could be magic. I mean Disney Disney World is
38:59
in floor. Maybe magic will help them. I don't know,
39:04
you believe in tragic There you go. Yeah, the the
39:09
implication is that Florida's like rapidly aging or already aged
39:15
population is just like killing it when it comes to
39:18
surviving COVID and also like very relatively unvaccinated population. Anyways,
39:24
good media we have. Let's take a quick break and
39:28
we'll be right back. And we're back, and Girls Got
39:42
Cookie season is as well. And this is exciting times,
39:48
I think for people who like sugar such such in myself.
39:53
But so there's this article in the takeout where they
39:58
made reference to the fact that the there are two
40:01
entirely different like kitchens, entirely entirely different factories that make
40:05
the girl Scout cookies, and the cookies are like totally
40:08
different depending on where you live. One of those called ABC, right,
40:12
that's the one I remember growing up. Two bakers ABC
40:16
and Little Brownie And yeah, you know they're mixtape on SoundCloud,
40:21
fucking fire full Little Brownie. But the terrible joke. I'm sorry.
40:27
I like it, man, I thought I thought it was good.
40:29
It was. It was like one of those ones that
40:35
like makes you think. So that's like me, that's my tagline.
40:38
I'm one of the ones that makes you one of
40:40
those that makes you think so. Thin mints, like I
40:48
had definitely experienced this, Like some thin mints don't have
40:52
that much chocolate around them. Some of them are just
40:54
like kind of way free cookies that don't have much
40:56
chocolate around them, and our mintier and those are different
41:02
than the ones that I grew up with that have
41:04
a bunch of chocolate around them. And I had interpreted
41:07
that as Girl Scout Cookies are working with them with
41:10
the process, working with the formula. Oh yeah, weren't. That's
41:13
like some ship you would say, I feel like in
41:15
the years past, like you black Yo, I think they're
41:18
working with the formula. Yeah, I mean, I'm surprised that
41:20
you're asking if I said that, seeing you got my
41:23
invite to the City Hall protests that I staged and
41:28
completely flaked on it. That don't let him fuck the formula.
41:33
The standards of Thinness and Girl scott Cookies is just
41:37
unachievable these days thank you, keep going up and down.
41:41
It was on January six then why d C So
41:44
that was kind of got overshadowed. But all cookies are bad,
41:52
okay sir? But yeah, the it's it's just And also
41:57
I did such little research that the answer was very clear,
42:00
and I just like didn't didn't know that, like, oh no,
42:03
there are two separate cookies. Nobody's changing anything, you dipshit.
42:06
But people who don't move around, I think, would just
42:10
assume that we all lived in a Samoa's world or
42:14
a tag Along's world versus a Peanut butter Patties world.
42:17
But those are two separate cookies made by the two
42:21
different like regional Girl Scout Cookie kitchens. What's their like?
42:26
Turf map look like like who gets what? Yeah? Is it?
42:29
Like Jerrymander? Like, how does because it sounds like you
42:32
grew up in California? R Yeah, I grew up in
42:34
North Cala and we had peanut butter patties and caramel
42:37
de lights. We had Samoa's and tag Alongs down here. Yeah,
42:43
I think it's totally man. Look like there's something deeper
42:49
we need to dig into. The big Girl Scout Cookie
42:52
is trying to create divisive lines between northern California and
42:57
southern California from a young age. They're working with Big
43:01
Sugar to make us angry. I think I think there's
43:05
something here. Yeah, there is. Uh. There is a map
43:08
on l A Times that supposedly tells you which cookie
43:12
you're eating and who who services you or zip code,
43:17
but then the second type of city or an address,
43:19
and it doesn't tell it's a no results found, Please
43:22
refine your search. Huh. Okay, they they've never heard of
43:27
Los Angeles apparently, But how are people selling girls coo
43:32
cookies now? I mean they're not going to door to door,
43:34
are they. Yeah, there's like an online online thing, Yeah, happening.
43:40
But for instance, people on this podcast Zake Gang, we're
43:43
probably confused because we kept referring to s'mores as being
43:47
the sandwich style cookies with frosting and fudge hints of maple,
43:52
as opposed to like s'mores from ABC Bakeries, which apparently
43:56
doesn't service Los Angeles. Is like h ocolate coverage, Graham Cracker.
44:02
It's like totally it doesn't even look like I don't
44:04
know if I remember. That might be a new one,
44:06
since mores are now They're like they're the third newest
44:09
kind of permanent a dish and they're pretty. Actually, lemonades
44:14
might also be um lemonades again, totally different looking cookies.
44:20
And holdly you're saying you grew up with a thin
44:23
mint that have more fudge covering on it. Yeah, like
44:26
we didn't take that bite. You felt like, oh, I'm
44:28
getting through chocolate and I'm hitting the cookie. Yeah, whereas
44:32
the crunch here with more mint. Thin mints are made
44:36
by ABC Bakers, which are are the ones that don't service.
44:43
But that's weird because I feel like I'm eating. When
44:45
you said there was more chocolate, I'm like, I mean,
44:47
I feel like the chocolate is lacking on some of
44:49
these thin mints. How much chocolate it could have had.
44:53
I remember chocolate. There's a little it was chocolate coating, right,
44:57
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but it was thin. Yeah.
45:00
So the thin mint the other ones are just away
45:04
for cookie. There's no chocolate. That's not what I grew
45:08
up with, though I had here let me I mean,
45:11
unless I'm unless this picture is fooling, I do have
45:13
to say, Okay, I'm googling, and it's funny, Miles that
45:16
you said to hit this cookie because I wanted to
45:18
see what a dosy do look like. Pretty Much, any
45:20
Girl Scout cookie you put into Google image is going
45:22
to show you pictures of weed. Like, yeah, that's true,
45:26
the pictures of weed. Thin mints. Yeah, I mean it
45:29
should be noted all of ABC Baker's cookies are just
45:33
you know, loaded down with ta They should open a
45:37
dispense Girl Scout Cookie dispensary. Is this thin mint with
45:42
the whole No, right, but that's the ABC. That's what
45:47
a lot of people grew up. Okay, that's no, that's
45:52
not anything. And then okay, so we're definitely in Little
45:55
Brownie because I remember you bought a pack of Smores
45:58
that your Super Bowl party a couple of years ago,
46:00
and this was the ships that we had. Yeah, it
46:02
was the Little Brownie Baker's version. Remember the short short
46:06
bread that's the classic, right yeah yeah, yeah, trefoils, but
46:13
they look different, Like, look, I just posted a link
46:16
above the one that that com posted in there, and
46:19
like you get side by side and even that even
46:22
like the classic is like very different looking. This is trash.
46:26
This is like forget the what is the Mandela effect?
46:29
I mean, this is where the divide in our country
46:32
from off? Keep that going? What if someone dug in
46:38
and it was just like you know, Trump voters or
46:42
service by ABC bakers, Biden voters right a step fucked
46:47
up Kendall gender Pepsi commercial. But Girls Scout Cookies in
46:50
Fanuary six like what the try this thing? Ment though
46:54
Q and on Viking and it's like, oh my god,
46:58
actually go Mike Pennce protect democracy. My mind is being changed.
47:03
I do feel like the Girl Scouts as an organization
47:06
has has historically done a lot of like progressive things, right,
47:10
But but it is interesting too. It's funny that the
47:13
cookies is like we still think of the cookies as
47:15
a big part of it, and they don't really. I mean,
47:18
I don't know. I remember thinking like, oh I want
47:20
to sell cookies, but it's like you don't get to
47:22
bake the cookies. You don't get you just go to
47:24
the door. Now you don't even go to the door
47:27
and you just take an order. And then so I
47:29
think they're like, maybe these bakeries are using these girls
47:32
to raise money in a way that it's not going
47:33
back to the girls. Make a little capitalism soldiers, you
47:36
know what, go out there and fucking hustle. You're fucking
47:39
selling out your trunk. Did you to like compete to
47:43
be employee of the month like that with most picture
47:49
like a wall that like otherwise doesn't get you ship?
47:54
Yeah why not? Why not make you just make something
47:58
and how the cut? Yeah? But so the two new
48:02
ones are toast yea and Adventurefuls. Adventurefuls are like chocolate
48:07
e they look fucking good. I haven't had one, but
48:10
they are chocolate cookies like they look a little bit cakey.
48:14
Shout out to my mom, who's chocolate chip cookies are
48:17
very cakey, very caramel flavored cream. But it's like cream
48:22
spelled the fancy ways. Yeah. Yeah, but anyways, you know,
48:30
don't keep your head on a swivel out there as
48:33
you're buying girl Scout cookies and check the box. Sniffet no,
48:39
no this this this, let me this weight feels like
48:41
you got a b c's in a little Brown's box.
48:45
Open that ship right now. Yeah, let me let me
48:47
use my razor blade real quick, like you doing chocolate.
48:51
Oh my god, yeah, no, no fudge on this. They
48:54
can come. Yeah. So I just I need to applaud
48:59
the hey like we it's probably the website that we
49:03
most approve of on the daily's. Like, guys, with the
49:05
possible exception of Reductress, like we we love the food takes,
49:11
we love their just so I love their editorial perspective
49:15
on this. This new cookie called toast yea that is
49:18
toast dash yea exclamation point. And they were just like
49:23
they were literally reached out to the Girl Scout Cookies
49:26
and were like, what what does that mean? A toast a?
49:34
The Girl Scout of America responded, The name is designed
49:39
to be a play on words for toasty, which evokes
49:42
the warmth and joy with living. Blah blah blah. You
49:44
know what toasty evokes. Toast draws on the cookies unique
49:48
toast shape and attribute to the French toast, and yeah,
49:51
he celebrates joy. It's like that is obfuscation. That is like, okay,
49:57
so toasty is a word we all know, and then
50:00
yea is a word we all know. So I just
50:02
brought those together and answered question. Answered right. It's like
50:07
if I wasn't much just before, now I really now
50:10
I think this whole operation is being run by Russian bots.
50:13
Like that does not sound like a human answers also
50:17
like the the like politician level spin because Jack read
50:22
the second read the full explanation of the YEA part,
50:25
because it's not just like yeah, yeah, here we go
50:28
and yeah. Celebrates joy, the joy that Girl Scout cookies
50:32
bring to consumers, and how girl Scouts create moments of
50:36
joy as they use their cookie earnings to support their
50:39
communities and donate cookies to frontline workers and local causes
50:43
in times like these O more than ever. Okay, yeah
50:48
that is a bit of a stretch, but I mean
50:53
consumers and then the frontline workers and local causes they've
50:58
been compromised. The golf Scouts of America, We've lost them. Yeah,
51:03
this was definitely written by a Girl Scout of America
51:07
who was either like had had somebody pointing some weapon
51:11
at them or or their family like had just been
51:14
shown a picture of their family in you know, being
51:18
held hostage. Right. It's it's definitely a chamber of commerce
51:21
type of response. I think of Girl Scouts. Hi, your
51:27
consumer product not makes sense? Explain please, And it's like
51:31
us to do with frontline workers. Fuck, You're like, oh shit, Okay,
51:36
they don't know what they're doing, so like it so
51:40
toast toast weed, maybe toast wet, toast eat. Oh yeah, man,
51:47
I'm sorry, I can't. How do we work stop this?
51:52
To be better? Right? Well, well, toasty if they're doing
51:56
toast toast we or just called toasty, Yeah, toase irena
52:00
sounds like you're taking a pea on some toast. It's
52:03
just like toasty is too close. Like they wanted to
52:05
invoke the word toasty, so you could just use toasty,
52:08
but they and what about the front Maybe you could
52:11
take about the French accent and they're so borny for
52:16
the frenchness, and there are other names, but then on
52:19
this one they dropped it because I think they're in
52:23
bed with the conservatives. That's what I gotta say. It's
52:26
like freedom fries. This is the freedom fries ization of
52:30
girls Scott cookies names or like just call them toast ease, Like,
52:35
doesn't that feel like a simple You're evoking toasty and
52:39
you've turned this adjective into like in a you know,
52:43
diminutive little names a little toasty, give your box of
52:45
toast these but that's probably taken from some other product, know,
52:49
think just call it this cookie is earnings will go
52:52
to support consist And what about Okay, so you don't
52:57
like toast? We what about toast? Like O P is
53:02
pretty warm and warm U it brings you back to
