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.

02:47
It's gonna be great. Yeah. Look, it blurs together. First.
02:52
It could be very uh, nervy experience, and then you
02:55
settle in, you know, like a nice warm bath, and
02:58
you don't realize that you're slowly sinking in deeper and
03:01
deeper like it's been now many years, two seasons. Yeah,
03:08
and then pretty soon all you can do is, uh,
03:11
it's been. And my wife and friends and those you know,
03:15
my wife leaves me, Yeah, because that's the only thing
03:20
I can do when interacting with her. It's bored, impressed
03:24
at least, the family's falling apart, my wife Alright. September,
03:31
how September treating everyone so far? Oh my god, Wow,
03:35
couldn't be better? First day of school for the for
03:38
the young uns today? Absolute chaos, mate for your children's yeah,
03:44
for your children's Okay, it was wild. It was like
03:48
just a massive mass of screaming children with their parents
03:53
dropping them off and then like we went around the
03:56
corner to drop our preschooler off at the preschool, walked back.
04:00
It was it was like a ghost. It was just
04:02
completely empty. They just it was it was like in
04:06
It's like in the movies, you know when they the
04:08
bell rings and suddenly the hall is empty, right right right? Yeah,
04:12
so school, you know, I hear you. Those were the days. Anyways, kindergarten, big,
04:19
big kindergarten for Ramsey. So we're we're excited, Chris. We're
04:24
going to get to know you a little bit better
04:25
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
04:27
couple of the things we're talking about today. The Supreme
04:31
Court has basically allowed abortion to become functionally illegal in Texas,
04:36
so we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about
04:39
Florida getting tricky with the COVID maths. We're going to
04:42
talk about a town in Alabama that is in the
04:45
find out phase of having a Trump rally during a pandemic.
04:51
They fucked around in a very specific way. Yeah. Well,
04:54
look at the background of some of the Afghanistan war
04:59
expert that have been all over cable news for the
05:04
past month. Basically and just you know what, what are
05:09
their jobs when they're not talk talking about how the
05:12
removal the end of this war is a is a
05:15
disaster for American honor and other specific things. We'll talk
05:20
about Seinfeld going to Netflix. We'll talk about pumpkin spice madness,
05:25
all that plenty more. But first, Christopher, we like to
05:29
ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
05:33
Oh God, So yesterday I wound up searching postners selling babies,
05:39
which is a fun time. So something something that that
05:43
that I learned about at the Verse of Chicago is
05:46
that anyone who gets like true into markets eventually like
05:50
reaches a phase where they go, you have to sell
05:52
babies and so and there's a lot of people who
05:54
could do this. Post near specifically is this guy named
05:56
Richard Postner. Who this guy was like he was he
05:59
was it was. He was on the Seventh Circuit Court
06:01
of Appeals for like forty years. He's like like one
06:03
of the most influential like legal scholars of the scent
06:07
for century. Actually he's written two articles now about like
06:10
how you need to have like adoption agencies being able
06:13
to sell babies and that like basically the adoption industry
06:17
without the market has like an unfair monopoly, and so
06:19
need to break the monopoly. You have to let them
06:21
sell children, right, because the people who are willing to
06:25
pay the highest are definitely inherently the most worthy humans.
06:29
So it makes sense. It's it's you know, the specific thing.
06:34
So I remembering this and like Murray rothbarg who was
06:37
like the big narcro capitalist guy, is huge on this,
06:40
and I was trying to remember because I had to
06:42
read like both of them in college and I shouldn't remember.
06:46
One of the two argued that he would end racism
06:49
because everyone would see that there were like different values
06:52
on like prices of babies, because like if I buy
06:55
race and that this would show everyone that racism was real,
06:58
would end racism. And I was like, but creating a
07:01
baby market, wow, yeah, it's libertarianism is a is a time.
07:15
So this is the thing that basically all libertarian like economists,
07:20
like people who are just like let the market decide
07:23
like kind of end up that is like, well, babies,
07:28
what's their issue with the current system? Is just that
07:30
too much bureaucracy? Yeah, Well, basically the problem is that
07:34
that there's a like the adoption agencies have have a monopoly,
07:37
and you know, monopolies are inefficient, and so to have
07:39
efficient like exchange of babies, you have to have markets.
07:43
And this is the kind of stuff where like you knows,
07:46
at a certain point the people actually empower look at
07:50
the idea like that, you know, the people who believe
07:52
there's like the hardcore idealogues, right, they're like the people
07:54
who are really committed to the market is the most
07:56
efficient way to do anything. And at some point the
07:58
people in charge like stop them, and like this is
08:01
where the line gets drawn. It's like this and like
08:04
when when they tried the nuclear that they tried to
08:06
like have an auction between the different branches of the
08:08
military to see like who would run the nuclear program
08:11
like that, that's when the that's the point where they
08:12
one tells him to stop. But like this is this
08:14
is a thing that a lot of a disturbing number
08:17
of people who are very influential believe should happen. But
08:22
we'll never talk about publicly because basically it's just it's
08:28
a weird, weird look, right, And you know, Texas about
08:33
to have a bumper crop of babies for sale, so
08:36
that's gonna be great for the markets for babies are
08:40
us post are like Legit talks about this in in
08:44
his thing about how like an abortion is affecting the
08:46
supply of babies and how this place and it's just
08:50
it's yeah, m hmm. Sometimes a little thinking can go
08:54
a little too far. Yeah, a little thinking. It's a
08:58
little bit, just just any sliver of very specific thinking
09:03
without being anchored to any sort of humanity, right well,
09:08
trying to prove your point like that your sense is
09:10
saying like, oh, yeah, like babies are like Honda preludes,
09:13
you know, like people just got to know that there's
09:15
like certain ones get a little more money, but you
09:18
and that's how we'll be able to melt our biases. Jesus.
09:23
Oh and you're you're just looking at that too, because
09:28
you were wondering way our markets the most efficient way
09:32
to distribute babies, or you were doing that for a
09:35
it was kind of reason Robert Robert Evans was like, Chris,
09:39
you're doing it as punishment. You're doing a thing on
09:42
on libertarians and their weird distinction between like pedophilia and
09:47
the baby aphilia, the one that's like slightly older or whatever.
09:50
So that that that that set me down the selling
09:52
baby train. Then I was like, wait, okay, hold on
09:54
which which one of these people was the selling babies
09:57
will solve racism of people, in which one of them
09:58
was just it's pretto efficient, right, and then yeah, this
10:02
is that was just my list. I was not aware
10:06
of the libertarian pro pedophilia. That was a I mean
10:12
kind of makes sense based on everything else they believe.
10:15
It's it's just a theory. It's just a theory, you know,
10:19
just looking into it. That's that's libertarianism. Hell of a truck.
10:24
Yeah yeah, what is something you think is overrated besides libertarianism? Yeah, okay,
10:32
I'm gonna do another controversial one and say that pizza
10:35
is overrated. It's like like it's like fine, right, but
10:39
like okay, so compare the average slice of pizza in
10:42
the world to like the world's average dumpling. Right, Like
10:45
you're okay, you think look at this, right, you have
10:46
the average slice of pizza and comparing it to like
10:48
soup dumplings or like geos there like semosis are provin
10:51
It's like it's it's okay. It's like it's a good food,
10:54
but it's just not as good as everyone thinks it
10:59
is here. It's right, You're so, you're it's I think
11:03
the reason we love it is because it's of just
11:05
a crowd pleaser. You know, it's hard to say no,
11:09
but like, is it the be all end all of foods?
11:11
I'm definitely not in that camp. I mean, I love pizza,
11:14
but not like in this sense, Like if you gave
11:16
me a choice of like maybe some other delicious foods too,
11:19
I'm be like, yeah, no, I'm good for pizza. You know,
11:21
pizza's that time and place. Are you also saying that
11:24
dumplings are kind of harder to funk up, because like,
11:28
I feel like I've had some really good frozen dumplings.
11:30
It's like not eating them well frozen, but frozen dumplings
11:35
like that you then heat up and they're still pretty good.
11:40
I have not had as much success with frozen pizza.
11:44
Frozen pizza generally sucks. Yeah, I mean they're probably, I
11:48
mean they're it is possible to like screw up a dumpling,
11:50
but I feel like the people who are doing it
11:53
are better at it than just like the average just
11:57
absolutely awful, like weird, just like probably like six week old,
12:04
like home running pizza that comes out of like that.
12:06
He's sort of in a box. It was like seven
12:08
minutes before in a freeze pace. Yeah, yeah, it's just right. Yeah.
12:15
I mean, pizza has is has become so popular that
12:20
you know, they churn them out. Now there's they'll they'll
12:24
just you know, start adding cheese to pizza if there's
12:30
a cheese surplus. Has happened in the I think in
12:33
the eighties or nineties, What will be next? When what's
12:38
the next surplus that they're gonna start forcing onto pizza
12:40
And they're like, oh yeah, just grapes, man, get a
12:49
load of these. I mean, super producer on a Jsnie
12:51
was sent on Twitter the other day that we should
12:53
put corn on pizza more often, which, yeah, oh man,
13:00
in Japan, the fucking corn is like on pizza out there,
13:03
and I used to think it was very strange as
13:05
a kid, but you know, yeah, there's really nothing a
13:09
couple of corn kernels on a pizza. You're not going
13:11
to be like, what the fun's just like everything's sucking corn.
13:17
So true to me, pineapple still more jarring, Like corn
13:21
doesn't really have as much like a flavor that it's
13:23
going to fully inform the rest of the experience. But yeah,
13:28
a little ham and corn, why not. I'm surprised that
13:31
corn hasn't been forced down our throat more as as
13:34
a pizza topping in the United States since that is,
13:38
I guess we've found found ways to use corn Otherwise.
13:42
I think everything that I'm currently touching, including my computer,
13:45
is actually at least thirty percent made of corn. Corn everything.
13:53
I wonder how much of the pizza is already just corn,
13:58
probably like like with the corn sur like in the song.
14:01
I mean, is it is that? Is it gonna make
14:03
its way into the dough? Probably? Not right, I don't know,
14:07
I hope not. But yeah, what is something you take?
14:11
Is underrated? The show Leverage you have you just seen leverage,
14:16
I have not. Okay, leverage, leverage rules, Leverage is. But
14:21
basically the premise of the show is every episode is
14:24
It's It's It's It's a forty minute heist movie with
14:27
con artists, except they basically like they they steal from
14:31
the risch and give it to the poor people, and
14:33
they do it by just running incredibly elaborate and absurd
14:36
cons on people who suck and it's it is an
14:40
extremely good time and more people should know about it
14:42
because it's just it's it's just fun. Where where can
14:46
you watch it? Is a show? Oh yeah, it was
14:49
on from oh eight to two. Yeah, there's a new
14:52
season two that I I think you can wash an
14:55
Amazon Prime or something. But yeah, it was originally and
14:59
it's like a very it's a very like post two
15:02
eight show in like the best way that I only
15:04
sort of vaguely reber because I was like twelve, but like,
15:09
you know, it's it's very post to a thousand and
15:10
eight in that like there's a bunch of rich people
15:13
and they're all bad and the goal of the show
15:15
was to screw those people over. And it's okay, right
15:18
right right, just like anger about the the session and
15:21
the subprime lending ship. Yeah, yeah, you know, and it
15:23
holds up right like even even when they brought the
15:25
show back, Like a lot of the sort of old
15:27
shows that they reboot like are bad because they don't
15:29
you know, the premise of whatever was about is like
15:32
and like, you know, is it that that Robin hood
15:35
nous that you really speaks to you? Yeah, it's a
15:38
Robin hoodness. And then also this I just I like
15:40
heist movies and this is like, this is like five
15:43
seasons of heist movie that's also con artists, which is
15:47
just extremely fun. Okay, yeah, it's funny because that was
15:51
one of those shows too where I just saw the
15:53
poster and I'm like, I don't know what that's about. Yeah,
15:56
I don't know what it's about. It's vague. Looks like
15:59
people stand ending in front of a truck. Okay, maybe
16:02
they're truckers. But now, okay, this is interesting. Maybe I
16:06
have to check this one. Yeah, it's a it's a
16:08
good time. It was a t n T original. It
16:10
looks like, yeah, that's when I was. I would never
16:15
cast my eyes upon anything from t n T. So yeah,
16:19
just all tracks from me back then. If you had
16:21
suggested a t NT original, we would have cut your feed. Yeah,
16:25
it's not allowed out. I do feel like there are
16:29
a number of shows like from that tier of cable, Like, um,
16:36
I think Suits is one of these that I I
16:40
just don't I never gave a chance, purely because they
16:43
were on t NT or USA and I was like, yeah,
16:47
well yeah, okay, yeah, like I'm gonna watch that White
16:52
Collar and they're probably I probably should have, so I
16:57
will check it out. Leverage, which you can want Shawn
17:00
Apple TV for free if you have an Apple or
17:05
the is that what it's called Apple TV or Apple
17:07
plus whatever that is. They have replaced from the main
17:12
characters with an iPad. However, as we talked about on
17:20
yesterday's episode, the Apple Original programming is all just shot
17:25
through with like kind of the most aggressive product placement
17:29
of all time. But all right, well, let's take a
17:34
quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.
17:48
And so in Texas, the Supreme Court basically chose not
17:53
to block a law, or hasn't blocked it yet, even
17:58
though the law is now enforced, so like it seems
18:01
like the sort of thing that would have blocked by now.
18:04
But it's basically this, It makes abortion something that is
18:10
suitable after how many weeks? Is it? Six weeks into
18:15
a pregnancy, which is before most women realize they're pregnant.
18:20
And it's a it's a really wild law in the
18:25
sense that it deputizes citizens to file civil suits against
18:29
abortion providers or anyone who helps facilitate the procedure, such
18:34
as a person who drives a pregnant person to the clinic.
18:38
So it's basically making it so that you can be
18:44
like financially ruined for having any involvement in helping somebody
18:50
get an abortion after after six weeks. It's a bad
18:54
it's the it's like the height of fucked up abortion laws.
18:59
I mean, this one is the different because it's actually
19:02
gone into effect. A lot of times we see things
19:05
that are proposed and then they'll get caught up in
19:07
courts and then struck down and things like that, but
19:09
this was allowed to go into effect. And you know
19:13
a lot of advocates who would talk about birth control
19:16
access and abortion access that you know, this isn't just
19:18
meant to punish the people who are seeking abortions, but
19:21
to basically kneecap the entire infrastructure that supports someone who
19:26
is seeking to exercise any kind of agency over their
19:30
own bodies. So yeah, by doing that saying well, now,
19:33
if oh I saw this person get dropped off in
19:35
this card to walk into a women's clinic coming to
19:37
write down, I'm gonna do my own fucking investigating and
19:41
go to court. And it's just wild because if they
19:45
it's like basically just giving ten thousand dollars away to
19:48
someone who is suing someone because they suspect them of
19:51
having an abortion, and even if the person defends themselves
19:54
successfully in court against this like whatever vigil anti suit,
19:58
there's like no way for them to coop anything. It's
20:01
just sort of it is what it is. And yeah,
20:04
I mean it's it's it's a fucking grim grim moment,
20:08
you know. And right now there's pretty much as this
20:11
as this law is, the only option you really have
20:14
is to go out of state. And to your point
20:16
about like the six week thing, that's they're saying that's
20:20
the women who seek abortions in the state of Texas,
20:23
Like if it's that as after that six week point,
20:27
So yeah, we're looking at just a really you know, draconian,
20:32
just outright ban on abortion there. Basically, yeah, there's something
20:36
so American conservative about like deputizing people to like spy
20:44
on and like enforce the fucking law against their neighbors.
20:49
Like just in my experience where living in communities that
20:53
were like strongly Baptist Southern Baptists, that is that is
20:58
the culture is people talking shit about each other's like
21:02
whether they're saved or not and whether like what actions
21:06
they've taken that they think is like you know, sinful
21:10
and yeah, this is um worried for for a country,
21:17
especially because I mean this is people are saying, like, well,
21:20
if if they're not going to stop this law, they're
21:23
certainly you know, and when it actually comes up for
21:28
Supreme Court judgment like this, this is another one of
21:31
the cases that's kind of shadow docket where they like
21:34
push it through on an emergency basis and the Supreme
21:37
Court just hasn't done anything about it, even though it's
21:41
clearly a constitutional emergency. But when the actual Roe v.
21:46
Wade case comes up, I mean it's not Roe v.
21:48
Wade coming up, but there's a actual case in Mississippi,
21:53
I believe coming up for Supreme Court judgment. I mean
21:57
this this indicates that they're going to essentially overturned, right
22:02
or you know. And the thing with this one is
22:04
it's this bill as the as the law is now
22:08
is unconstitutional and so and it's and yeah, it is
22:12
a reminder that, yeah, we have a six three conservative
22:16
fucking majority supermajority essentially in the Supreme Court. And yeah,
22:22
I mean like, and this is one of those things too.
22:24
What a lot of states do is they see a
22:25
little bit of like, you know, especially states that are
22:28
hell bent on taking away people's access to abortions and
22:31
things like that. They look at what other states are doing,
22:33
what they've got gotten away with, and they'll immediately start
22:36
mimicking that locally too. So yeah, it's just a very
22:42
very awful, awful time. And yeah there's a there's clearly
22:45
a ton of litigation around this, but it really doesn't
22:48
bode well for you know, the road vieway it as
22:52
it stands. You know. Well, one thing I will say
22:55
about this though, is that like, well, I mean, on
22:58
the one hand, we have the thing that we're you know,
22:59
we're all just ruled by a junta. Now, like this
23:02
is literally like we we we are we are being
23:04
governed by fiat by like a junta of like random
23:08
people from harvardar and Gale. And it's like you know,
23:11
but then their hand like you know this this this
23:15
cuts in a lot of different directions. But the Supreme
23:19
Courts power is fake, like like like they basically the
23:23
Supreme Courts power of just review is something they just
23:26
declared that they had in the early in the I
23:27
think it's late seventy nationally Agian hundreds, they just like
23:30
unilaterally and marbarous Madagic Meadson just said, like we have
23:33
the ability to do this, and you know, the state
23:37
can just ignore them. Like this is this is something
23:39
that like you only see it every once in a while.
23:41
It's usually only done for like absolutely terrible evil. But
23:46
like you can just tell the Supreme Court to funk
23:49
off and there's nothing they can do about it. Like
23:51
like legally they do, like the powers that they claim
23:54
to have are not in the Constitution. They just gave
23:56
it to themselves. And so you know, I mean, like
23:58
this is the point we're at now, right, like being
24:00
ruled by a junta. They're just you know, they're they're
24:03
evicting millions of people by weird fiat there about to
24:07
just take everyone's ability to abortions away, and like that's
24:12
that's the kind of stuff that like, right, we have
24:15
to actually be thinking about because we we've we've reached
24:18
the sort of like fascism level where they've created like
24:21
just the abortion gestapo where it's like like like one
24:24
of the things I was reading about on on you know,
24:27
the Last Nights where abortions were legal, like a whole
24:31
bunch of these people like showed up to the abortion
24:33
clinics and were like shining spotlights through the windows of
24:36
the like like of of the hospital. Just yeah, just
24:42
absolute horror show. Yeah. But yeah, and I'm wondering, you know,
24:48
that's where we have to arrive at a point where
24:50
it's like we're adjudicating these monumentally important societal issues with
24:56
a group of people that like can like with a
24:58
system that can be gang aimed essentially with how you
25:02
how you make up the Supreme Court and then still
25:05
being like right, based on like the rigid interpretation of
25:10
the Constitution, we decide to not give people civil rights. Yeah,
25:14
and that's that. So where where where is the you know,
25:19
where the remedies for that? And where you know, at
25:21
what point are we going to begin to really actually
25:23
trying to think of how to perform this sort of
25:25
form of oversized power that they have and typically goes
25:29
against the well being of most people, right, Like, even
25:34
even though constitutionally you can argue that they don't have
25:37
the power to do this, like practically speaking, they you know,
25:41
in a state like Texas where Republicans and conservatives kind
25:46
of run everything, like they'll if you ignore this ruling
25:53
and you know, get or perform an abortion, like they
25:56
can still suit you and take a bunch of take
25:59
like lots of your money, right so if not all
26:02
you know, in some instances, And that's what's really vile
26:06
about this is that it incentivizes people to just be
26:12
probably pretty frivolous. I'm sure there's someone who's going to
26:15
figure out a way to do math and be like, well,
26:16
if I take these many lawsuits and this many hit
26:19
then I can actually have a good income just harassing
26:22
people who are trying to get an abortion. Yeah, and
26:25
and even weren't just that, like you know, people are
26:28
at any time you have a system that's just like hey,
26:31
you can stitch on your neighbors now and then and
26:33
some people will pay you. Like people will just use
26:35
this against random people like that. That's that's going to
26:37
just start happening right like this, you know, this is
26:40
what happens when you create these like there's just just
26:43
like weird STOTSI like everyone's in inform it now, like
26:48
we will pay you for informing ship. It's you know,
26:51
it degrades to not even degrades like that. The point
26:54
of it is just to create this absolutely nightmare surveillance
26:57
state where everyone around you is turning you into the
27:00
states like right and now, and has a chilling effect
27:03
on anyone, not just a person who's seeking an abortion,
27:08
but just anyone around them, you know, if they need
27:10
help in any way now that they could be potentially
27:14
caught up in you know what can turn into a
27:16
ten thousand dollar legal thing and plus whatever else other
27:20
you know, damages or penalties that are included with that.
27:23
So like at this point, when they're trying to turn
27:26
the entire state of Texas into like footloose, like do
27:30
why why wouldn't Joe Biden and the Democrats who have
27:35
the power to do something like what wouldn't this be
27:39
the time to just be like, Okay, fuck the filibuster,
27:42
Like look at look at what they're trying to do.
27:45
Like the majority of Americans are not for this sort
27:50
of anti choice legislation, so like we we are beholden,
27:57
like we have to do this or else they're basically
28:00
hijacking the country from us, Like isn't isn't wouldn't that
28:04
make sense? And like is what is stopping them from
28:08
doing that? Other than just the fact that they also
28:11
benefit from the status quo? I mean, I think, I mean,
28:15
you know, in the comments from Biden have been that.
28:18
He's saying that, you know, this administration is committed to
28:22
these things and they will do what it takes to
28:24
defend it. So I mean, whether that means that they're
28:26
going to bring a suit or something is possible, but
28:30
I don't know right now. The most immediate thing would
28:33
be if the Supreme Court issued a stay on the
28:36
band in the next few days. But you'd think, like
28:40
if they really believed it was unconstitutional, they wouldn't have
28:43
allowed in the first place. And I think, you know,
28:46
I think that there's two things with this. One is
28:48
that you know, like short like okay, the like short
28:53
of like Biden actually taking seriously the packing the court stuff,
28:57
which is not going to like there you know, even
29:00
if they do a lawsuit, they're gonna lose, right, So
29:02
there's not much like they're they're probably not gonna do anything,
29:05
and they don't really have I don't think they have
29:06
much incentive to because you know, fundamentally, the Democratic Party
29:11
cares about abortion insofar as it's a good fundraising issue,
29:14
right and you know, and like the like the more
29:17
dire the threat, the better the fundraising issue is. Right. No, none,
29:19
you know, none of that money actually will will go
29:21
back into like defending abortions, you know, and abortions already
29:24
been almost functionally legal in a lot of places before
29:28
this right like they care about as the political prop
29:30
they don't care about like actually helping people get abortions.
29:35
And you know, and least the second thing, it's like
29:39
the only thing that is going to get any of
29:42
these people to do anything is if they're scared. And
29:46
you know, I mean, and then the and the right
29:47
was extremely effective about this, right, Like the right did
29:50
bombing campaigns. The right did like they shot people, like
29:53
they you know, they waged an enormous terror campaign and
29:55
it worked. And so you know, at a certain point
29:59
you have to start looking at like, okay, so how
30:02
how do you actually, like, how do you actually pressure
30:06
any of the people who are supposed to care about
30:09
this to do literally anything? Right, And it's like, you know,
30:11
it's probably it's not terrorism, Like that doesn't work. It
30:14
doesn't work for us, right, but you know you didn't
30:18
like it's it. I think I think it comes down
30:20
to a combination of like we have to do it ourselves,
30:24
you know, in terms of protecting people, in terms of
30:25
helping people get abortions in terms of you know, I
30:28
guess we're gonna have to pride access now because and
30:31
then also like it's it's up to us to scare
30:33
them enough that they do the right thing, otherwise they won't. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
30:38
That's that's why I'm really curious to see what happens
30:41
in the next couple of days, because aside from just
30:43
stating the obvious, like the President has by saying like, oh,
30:47
this is uncon this is fucked up. Well, what are
30:50
you going to do about it? Are you going to
30:53
articulate as a plan to begin to try and offset that?
30:57
And I think a lot of people will be looking
30:58
closely because are already like in a situation where you
31:01
look at your like, you guys have all this power
31:04
and majorities and things like that, but I don't. We
31:07
don't see much movement, And you're allowing a lot of
31:09
things like just saying like pinning it all on mansion
31:12
in cinema to be like, well, god, if they weren't there,
31:15
you know, that's just such an easy out, and it
31:18
really does smack of just the will's not there if
31:21
it's purely just two people, or you know, it's much
31:24
larger than that. But if you're gonna if the narrative
31:26
that you're constructing is like this one guy, I mean
31:29
god right, folks America, huh, Like that's that doesn't communicate
31:33
the will to me that you really trying to do
31:36
everything you can to to further this agenda forward. That
31:40
would actually be a benefit to you know, the majority
31:43
of the country, and the Supreme Court may have put
31:47
a stay on this like law or like suspended this
31:50
law by the time you're listening to this episode. But
31:53
even if that happens, a lot of people are saying
31:56
that they suspect what's happening here is that the Supreme
32:00
is letting this law go into effect as sort of
32:03
a weather balloon to see what the reaction is. Because they're,
32:07
like we've talked about before, the they are not a
32:10
you know, an abstract body of like higher beings who
32:15
just judge based on pure reason. They are political actors.
32:19
That is a political part it is. It is the
32:23
Supreme Court is political, and so um people suspect that,
32:26
you know, as there getting ready to make the decision
32:30
to try and functionally overturned Row, this is a helpful,
32:34
like kind of early weather balloon to see like how
32:38
what the reaction is, how bad the blowback is before
32:41
they do that, and also will probably help them strategize
32:44
when they ultimately do what they're what they're talking about doing.
32:49
And I'm sure they're also aware that if it goes
32:52
over badly enough then and people start talking about packing
32:56
the court, then that would be bad for their power.
33:00
And so, you know, because they're essentially like the parent
33:04
in the middle of a culture war argument where it's like,
33:07
I think you abortions. I don't think you show abortions, dad,
33:12
And then they what is it? Well, guess what, we're
33:15
a six three conservative majority. Guess how we're gonna side
33:18
with it and move on. And that's really like how
33:20
all this ship is playing out constantly. So yeah, I
33:23
mean between you know, the media has been a very
33:27
like soft touch. I feel like with like what they've
33:30
been saying, they're like, oh wow, it's extreme, but like
33:33
not a lot of outrage, you know, but just merely
33:36
describing it as unconstitutional, rather than saying like this is
33:40
completely against everything you know that you thought whatever whatever
33:45
you thought of America was, but just in general what
33:48
a civil society would do. This is not it and
33:51
this should not be happening at all. And this is
33:54
the most extreme bill that we have on the books
33:57
right now. But you know, again, it's just a it's
34:00
a slow moving process. But I'm really curious toe what
34:02
happens over the next twenty four hours. Really yeah, And
34:05
I think it's like, you know, I mean, this is
34:07
the thing like that there probably will be protests, but
34:09
it's like, you know, if if people if if a
34:10
month of people get in the street and like walk
34:12
from A to B, it doesn't matter, like it just
34:14
doesn't like you know, and you know, so and if
34:16
the reaction is there's a few protests but people sort
34:19
of give up, like you know, it about nothing will happen.
34:23
But if the reaction is like I don't know, like
34:25
people start shutting down airports or like you know, like
34:27
happening like teen or you know, God God helped them,
34:31
like people like you know, people decided to like shut
34:32
down the Port of Los Angeles or something right right,
34:36
which is which is the thing that is like that
34:37
is possible, you know, it is extremely unlikely like if
34:41
that kind of stuff starts happening, like yeah, they're gonna
34:44
they will roll it back less like more damage happen. Yeah,
34:49
this is something you guys talked about on one of
34:51
the episodes that it could happen here that you know,
34:54
people underestimate the effectiveness of a general strike, and like
34:57
the media really keeps keeps that. Yeah, like they don't
35:02
really talk that much about it. But when the flight
35:06
attendants threatened to strike, like when during the government shut down,
35:11
the government was opened back up and like a few
35:13
hours after after being shut down for how many days,
35:17
like an unprecedented like link, because you know, they knew
35:22
how wildly unpopular it was going to be for people
35:25
to have their vacations taken away from them. Yeah, And
35:30
I think one more thing on that is that like
35:32
you know, specifically, like the reason it worked with that
35:34
flight attendants could do this is because they're they're specific
35:37
like logistics sectors that are extremely vulnerable, like specifically like
35:41
air transport and then also shipping and you know rail
35:44
lines and stuff like that. And you know, like large,
35:48
large scale general strikes are really hard, but you can
35:52
effectively get rid of like a similar number of people's
35:55
labor by just blocking the products from getting anywhere and
35:58
so or you know, like stop stopping the trying the
36:01
system you can. You can you can effectively stop enormous
36:03
numbers of people of labor, even if enormous numbers of
36:06
people people's labor, even if you don't have like the
36:10
resources you need to like immediately carry out of general strike. Yeah,
36:15
so that that kind of stuff is I guess, like, yeah, possible,
36:20
and you know, probably what's necessary if this isn't just
36:23
gonna run through and steamroll us all mhmm. But yeah,
36:28
it's just happening at a time where people it's you know,
36:31
the timing couldn't be worse or more perfect, depending on
36:34
how you're looking at because you're already just the level
36:37
of despair that's just generally being felt throughout the fucking
36:41
planet really all time high, and you know, I think
36:45
people are more hopeless, but I don't know. No recent
36:49
like pandemic Pole, it teemed like people were more like
36:51
resilient or more aware of what they had to do
36:54
in terms of getting through a pandemic. So I don't
36:56
know how much that translates here, but you'd hope on
37:00
some level there's enough outrage left in the tank. That
37:05
was my favorite. I mean, I I don't put any
37:07
stock in polls, but just the idea of people being
37:11
less hopeful, more energized like those that I think that
37:15
needs to be what America is. It is not like
37:18
hope implies like you know, things are going to get
37:21
better into like independent of what we do, and like
37:25
that has been proven time and again that that's not true.
37:29
Like there needs to be all right, let's take a
37:32
quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back
37:46
and a Albaace, an Alabama town. I don't know why
37:51
I said, I like that town in Alabama where Trump
37:54
had his rally ten days ago, is you know, struggling
38:00
a little bit. We we said at the time that
38:03
experts were saying, cancel this ship. The surge is too bad.
38:07
And they were like, yeah, okay, experts, And how's that
38:13
working out for the months? I mean, it's just fucked up.
38:16
In ten days or so after they had this huge rally,
38:19
you're just seeing now there's just a big increase. The
38:23
state saw a sixtent increase in hospitalizations. The Coleman County
38:27
where this rally was saw increase. And you know, it's
38:32
it's just a situation where the schools are even like, hey,
38:35
we're with the masks come on now, Like that's gonna
38:39
be a choice for the parents to decide if they
38:42
want that for their kids. And when you hear like
38:45
there were like local health advocates and experts who were saying, like,
38:49
you know, can you tie these increased hospitalizations and things
38:52
like that to this rally? They said, quote, there were
38:55
people I can assure you that said, by golly, I'm
38:58
going to see that Trump rally. I've been way on
39:00
this forever. I guarantee you there were people there that
39:03
were sick. I mean in the vaccination rate in that
39:06
specific places about thirty. So all those things coupled together,
39:11
it's like, yeah, this is kind of a bad outcome.
39:15
But interestingly enough, first for an area where they're like, well,
39:19
we're never going to make people wear masks like or
39:21
like you know, vaccines, like we're not going to really
39:24
talk about it. Suddenly the school board explained, like you
39:28
know facebook post, he said, quote, where we respect the
39:31
choice of parents in regards to masks, these preventative steps
39:33
are necessary to slow the spread of COVID. This mandate
39:37
will be for two weeks, beginning Monday, August and expiring
39:41
on Friday, September tent at the end of the school day.
39:44
I was like, oh, wow, okay, because one week would
39:46
have been overkilled to have masks going on in the
39:49
middle of the pandemic. But yeah, it's just one of
39:52
those things where suddenly it's sort it's hard to keep
39:55
up with that same rhetoric when you're looking at just
39:58
the real life outcomes that are happening in their dealing
40:01
with that. By the way, kids are the least resistant
40:07
people to masks, like in in the country, by the way,
40:10
they're like they because it's just like yeah, they they're adaptable.
40:14
They don't give a ship like there, oh this is
40:16
gonna keep me from getting sick. Okay, I'll wear a
40:18
mask and deal with it. It's in my experience, it's
40:22
the anyone over the age of fifty really seems to
40:26
have a very difficult time with it. So, well, that's
40:31
that's horrible, very predictable, unfortunately. So let's talk about Seinfeld,
40:37
the show about Nothing, the show that occupies a large
40:41
part of my brain just remembering Seinfeld and Simpson's jokes.
40:46
Are you know that that's just like there on a
40:51
cycle somewhere in the back of my brain at all
40:53
times and just like sometimes my brain burps it up
40:56
like from my unconscious and it's like, oh, yeah, I
40:59
do remember that, and that it has nothing to do
41:02
with anything that I'm thinking about right now what is
41:04
wrong with me? But a new generation is going to
41:08
get introduced to Seinfeld because Seinfeld's time on Hulu is
41:14
nearing an end this summer, and I guess it vanished
41:19
off the platform in June and people were like, what happened?
41:23
But next millennials, Yeah, you know, especially like my stories whatever,
41:28
they go. Yeah, I I had no idea because I
41:31
wasn't really keeping track of the bidding wars over Seinfeld.
41:36
But Netflix paid five million dollars to get that on
41:43
their old platform. That's the office money. Now. I don't
41:47
know is that have the same appeal. I'm not quite sure.
41:51
I'm really curious what that actually if that's a good
41:54
business decision or just nearly because it's on Netflix, people
41:58
are just gonna be like, oh cool, have you seen
42:00
this show? Signed Netflix? Now? It's pretty fun. I don't know,
42:04
Like what do they I don't I'm I guess the
42:07
projections are strong enough that they felt it was worth that.
42:10
But yeah, I hope a part of me is like, oh,
42:14
I'd watch that, But then I'm like, I don't know,
42:15
do you have the energy where I would like navigate
42:18
to Netflix to watch Seinfeld because I damn sure I
42:20
didn't do it with Hulu. But yeah, no, wonder maybe
42:23
this would be Billie Eilish's new favorite show because the like,
42:28
when you look at the streaming numbers, like Netflix is like,
42:32
I I feel like there's a big part of people,
42:36
a big part of the country where they when they
42:39
think streaming, they just think Netflix. Like that's just Netflix
42:43
has like taken that corner of people's brain and so
42:48
it just always they always go to Netflix and they
42:51
only have Netflix of the streaming services that that's what
42:55
the numbers seem to indicate. There's Netflix really dwarfs the competition.
42:59
So it'll be it'll be interesting to see if this,
43:03
you know, combo Seinfeld on Netflix is is going to
43:06
like make Seinfeld Davy National Institution again. Right the press release,
43:12
it was really interesting they said, like the credits that
43:17
they gave their like it's including Julia Louis Dreyfus from
43:20
Troll and Family Ties and Jason Alexander from Pretty Woman.
43:25
I'm like, is this from the fucking eight Like who
43:33
is that? A bit like are they doing it like
43:35
this is what it said back then or they just
43:37
really I forgot about deep it could be. I don't know.
43:41
I mean, I'm this is just like an extract from
43:44
like an excerpt from like an article I was reading.
43:47
But I mean they're saying like you know, it's gonna
43:49
be like they're giving them the whole run of like
43:51
when it started to when it ended, and like it's
43:53
gonna be on starting October one. It's just a very
43:58
odd Maybe someone just didn't give a funk when they're
44:00
putting the press release together. Yeah, it's really weird because
44:02
like I figured it was like, oh, this is like
44:05
this is people like me who were like either like
44:07
very very young. I'm like like I'm like on the
44:09
border of like millennial GenZ and like I wonder if
44:12
it's because my usually something like oh this is this
44:14
is the zoomers to watch this, But like why that
44:18
the press release makes no sense with the trying to
44:20
get the boomers to watch I mean the zoomors to
44:22
watch it. It completely the funneled, you know, Jason Alexander
44:26
from Pretty Woman, Like I mean, in my mind, I'm like, sure,
44:30
Jason Alexander from I mean he was always playing bit
44:33
parts and things, so it was like a monster right
44:36
like him Pretty Woman, wasn't he like just a complete
44:39
misogynistic piece of shit? So it's like, uh, you know
44:44
he was in that one sexual predator from Curb. That
44:50
would be funny if they were thrown out Curb. Yeah,
44:52
I don't know. I mean he like he was the gargoyle, Hugo,
44:57
and hunchback of Notre Dame. He was a voice of like,
45:00
I don't know what you what credits you really put
45:03
for Jason Alexander, You're like, oh shit, right him the
45:07
guy from Cone Heads who was the neighbor who had
45:10
the two pay like sure. But for Michael Richards, they
45:16
did cite his performance at the Laugh Factory as his
45:19
one credit that everybody hears, but they didn't go post
45:24
because Seinfeld. All right, well, it is officially September, which
45:31
means it's time to bring on the pumpkin spice madness baby.
45:36
Starbucks already rolled out their fall menu, including the Pumpkin
45:41
Spice Latte back at the end of August. They also
45:44
unveiled a new Pumpkin Love Ometer. Pumpkin love omter, what
45:50
is I think it's just mas how much people want
45:52
to suck pumpkins. Probably, what do you even do? How
45:57
does this meter function? Dude? Stipped? You touch it? You
46:02
just fucking declare your love for pumpkin anything. I'm I'm
46:06
headed there right now, Miles, So I can tell you
46:10
are not supported great side. So they're going for you.
46:16
Biquity huh find out where you fall? Okay, I will,
46:20
So you go on here. It says, oh, take the quiz,
46:24
buzz quiz. I'm good. Yeah, there's two things that everybody's
46:29
talking about loving is BuzzFeed quizzes and pumpkin spice latte,
46:35
and everything's just coming out. I just also to like dunking,
46:39
there's their ships coming out earlier than normal, because I
46:41
remember it last year in the middle of the pandemic
46:44
when pumpkin spice everything season came around. I feel like
46:47
everyone was like, dude, what what day is it? Pumpkin who?
46:52
And I think maybe this time, since we had somewhat
46:55
of we were outside more like I'm I'm realizing it's
46:58
fall again. But they feel I feel like they just
47:01
keep starting it earlier and earlier and earlier, Like it's
47:04
it's like it's large, it's longer than the actual season
47:06
of fall or winter combined. Right, Yeah, they go they
47:11
go deep. The quiz sucks, so I'll just put it
47:16
at that. They're like, how much do you love pumpkin spices?
47:21
Is it like so much? Do you like do you
47:26
have wet dreams about pumpkin spice lattees? Bro come on, like,
47:30
there's no option that's not that has that is like
47:33
a tasteful, non pumpkin spice horny version. So that's the fun.
47:39
They're Duncan rolled out there, pumpkinywhares even earlier Starbucks on
47:45
August and one of the kind of wild new products.
47:50
We've got what We'll give you two in reverse order
47:54
of how ill conceived they are. So we have Hungry
47:58
Howie's Pizza releasing pumpkin spice Howie Bread, which is just
48:03
like kind of a sweet you know, how Hungry how He's. Yeah,
48:10
it's just like a pizza place. It's around Oh really, Yeah, damn,
48:15
I've never desecrated my insides with a Hungry Howi's pizza.
48:18
But yeah, it's not great. Anyone anyone who's doing pumpkin spice.
48:25
Howee bread, I'm like that business. Yeah, get over there,
48:30
But it doesn't it doesn't seem that bad because it
48:33
is a sweet like a sweetbread, and they're giving you
48:37
the photo looks like it comes with a ranch dip.
48:40
But I guess that's how you saying. So that's good.
48:43
Fuck you just do a ranch. Yeah you know that's
48:47
just got full ranch America's two favorite flavors combined. Yeah,
48:52
where's pumpkin spice? Ranch? Thank you? Budweiser announced a new
48:58
pumpkin spice flavor of Bud Light Seltzer. So yeah, because
49:04
I mean, their customer base is mostly given up, so
49:07
it makes makes sense. What uh that's that's a bridge
49:14
too far for me. I think you don't. We don't
49:18
have to. Don't funk with the seltzers making it all
49:20
flanneled out with your pumpkin spice. The Seltzers are supposed
49:24
to be like light and crisp, not like warm and savory, right, Like,
49:29
does anybody want a like warm feeling from their seltzer? No?
49:35
Certainly not something that like I associate with like dairy.
49:39
I mean, as a seltzer, you're like, I don't know
49:43
thing I envision a lot of creaminess or something like
49:47
that to that flavor. So they also have a flannel
49:51
pack that also includes other like Fall inspired flavors for
49:56
the bud Light Seltz including apple maple, toasted marshmallow, toasted smellow.
50:02
Now when they say fall inspired, they're talking about this
50:04
season and not the general just fall of America of mankind. Yeah,
50:08
I was gonna say, like this goes very bread and
50:11
pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice, bread and circuses were get This
50:16
next product is Fall of the human species inspired. It
50:21
is the winner of the year of worst idea for
50:26
a pumpkin spice product. A Cup of Noodles is releasing
50:30
Pumpkin Spice Ramen Noodles. The promo photo has a cup
50:36
in the hand of a reanimated corpse whose arm is
50:39
poking through their own marked grave, poking through a bunch
50:43
of leaves. And I'm just gonna read the description of
50:46
the product that came from the company. There's a fine
50:51
line between genius and insanity. Care to cross it with
50:55
us Cup Noodles? So it's not Cup of noodle is
51:00
it's just cup noodles Noodles. Cup Noodles jumps on the
51:04
Pumpkin Spice Crazy Train with a special pumpkin seasoning that's
51:09
the perfect blend of sweet, savory and spiced. These saucy
51:14
noodles are ready with just a splash of water in
51:16
four minutes in the microwave for the full pumpkin spice experience.
51:21
Top it with whipped cream for the quickest, tastiest, and
51:26
most outlandish pumpkin spice, and a cup experience you never
51:30
knew you needed coming to select Walmart's in October, and
51:35
then in parentheses to close it out. Yes, really, I'm
51:40
really I have a problem with this image because it's
51:42
meant to evoke some like Night of the Living Dead ship,
51:45
but it's like that's what so you wanna evoke like
51:49
corpses coming out of the ground. Being like, we love
51:52
this product because it's certainly not supposed to be like
51:56
HALLOWEENI I guess, or maybe it is. It's it's they're
51:59
doing a lot, doing a lot. Yeah. The only explanation
52:03
I could think of is like that's the hands of
52:05
the person who invented Ramen and they're like trying to
52:08
drag it back to hell with them, right the original
52:13
like the guy who came up with cup noodles like
52:15
instant noodle thing. He's like, this isn't what it was
52:19
meant for. It's Jonathan Gold the food critic. Sorry he's not,
52:25
he's just you know, but yeah, this is a but
52:28
you know what the funny thing is, I remember when
52:30
the takeout they got like a promo box and this
52:32
ship they said it was good cup noodles. Yes, yes,
52:38
I I will take the takeouts enthusiasm for junk food
52:42
to a point. And this is that point. I mean,
52:47
I don't know if they had if I don't know
52:48
if they topped their noodles with whipped cream like you
52:51
know all you know all Asian people love to top
52:54
their noodles with whipped cream. Behind that really easily. Like
53:00
my grandmother saw this, she would, you know what those noodles,
53:04
You know what this noodle dish needs lactose, some LATAs
53:09
and sugar. And then Native Deodorant actually scrapped their pumpkin
53:15
spice products and announced the decision with a giant ad
53:19
in the New York Times a few weeks ago. So
53:21
that's how you know it's fully like run its course?
53:24
Is that just canceling a pumpkin spice like a gimmick
53:29
product gets you. It is actually like a marketing campaign.
53:34
So oh, but their whole thing is like, we don't
53:36
funk with it, right, We're off this ship by Native
53:40
Deodorant clever Lean. The other way, the that says you
53:46
have bad taste pumpkins stinking like pumpkin spice latte over
53:53
our clean bodies. Who was your idea in the first place?
53:56
We didn't like make you do it? What are you
53:59
talking about? All right? Boy? Wow, it's I'm just like
54:03
trying to read like the fine print of it. It's
54:05
like they're really trying to be like, we did you
54:07
a solid dude. Yeah, I I this is It's just
54:11
so funny like how like over the years when this
54:15
time of year comes around, how I just get like
54:18
more and more dejected by it. Like it's not like,
54:21
oh ship, right, because it used to just be this
54:23
thing where like I remember back at the at the
54:26
old office, DJ Daniel was like, it's pumpkin spice season, baby,
54:30
and that was just more like okay, right, he's working
54:32
with it. And then the next year like it started
54:35
being like oh my god man, we got pumpkin spice. Everything.
54:39
Nineteen was like we're moving it up three weeks and
54:42
we got pumpkin spice socks, and then like no one
54:46
gave a funk, but like they're still like trying to
54:48
ramp the volume up. And then this year it's like, please,
54:51
pumpkin spice, you're fucked up getting your uber and go home.
54:56
You don't need to, you're just anything. You're making me
54:58
sad by showing up every year, reminding me of the
55:01
lack of other progress we have. But that's the That's
55:06
how American capitalism works. Is it like defines a like
55:11
good feeling and then finds a way to like graft
55:15
some sort of product onto it and like kind of
55:19
commoditize it until we feel like it's cheap. And the
55:22
love of fall now feels cheap right right, season of
55:28
time passing and enjoying that we've turned it into a
55:31
flavor that you can desecrate your noodles with. Now you
55:33
can't look at like pictures of viewing your family and
55:36
like changing leaves without being like that looks like a
55:38
pumpkin spice latte. Ad. Oh my god, save us. We
55:48
will with market economy. With market economics, baby, just sell
55:53
us your kid and we'll be good. Christopher. Such a
55:58

56:36

56:49
And there there's the one post that was raged against
56:52
the vaccine. Some of those that work forces want the
56:54
paces for horses. Yes, what did they do? They took
57:03
over the the subreddit and just like what did they do?
57:08
They just post it? Yeah, just like ship posted like
57:10
proceed pro vaccine stuff and posted some of those that workforces.
57:14
What the pace that's for horses. It's good stuff, It's
57:18
that's great. And they're also there uh subs that are
57:22
like basically boycotting Reddit for the day to get try
57:27
and get them to take down all the misleading bullshit.
57:30
I think the actors they apparently when I reloaded the
57:34
page for this memeless, I think they rented that the
57:38
subred has been quarantined, so I guess it's maybe working,
57:42
but Ernie who knows. Yeah, we had quite to quarantine
57:47
the subreddit for ten days till they got a negative test.
