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.

01:19
that and I'm like, I don't have record like that.
01:24
Sing your song. Yeah, so shout out to doctor tring

01:44
in our third seat by the comedian and thought leader
01:47
behind Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born takes place in
01:50
an alternate reality where nine eleven never took place. Let's
01:53
say are a TV writer and producer whose work you
01:56
can see on a couple of small outlets called Netflix
02:00
and Cartoon Network. May have heard of them. You can
02:03
hear them on Jack Am Hot and Rich. This podcast
02:06
is self Care. Please welcome the hilarious Kate. Hello, thank
02:13
you so much for having me. It's so good to
02:15
be back here. Welcome back the Yellow One. What a dream?
02:19
What a dream? Yes, a lot a lot of you
02:22
have subdued yellow. Look today, just pops of yellow today.
02:26
So I am wearing a black and white checker shirt
02:30
with pops of sunflowers on it because I didn't invent yellow,
02:35
and I do almost exclusively wear yellow, but I've shifted
02:38
my style into slutty crazy taxi Summer, which is my
02:43
current fashion theme. So I'm wearing it. I'm wearing anything
02:46
that would like kind of be a yellow like nineteen
02:50
sixties taxi. So like lots of checkers, black and white
02:54
checkers have made their way into my fashion along and yellow,
02:58
any like abbas a type, So like Abbasaba sort of aesthetic. Yes, exactly,
03:02
abbas Abba aesthetic. I mean, you know, we'll get into
03:07
the season's technically it is summer, but I think it's fall,
03:11
so I should update the theme. The seasons are state
03:14
of mind. Obviously, seasons are obviously a state of mind. Abbazaba,
03:17
what a pool? I haven't I forgot about? As you know?
03:23
That's how bad fucking how what is it? Half baked?
03:27
Fucked me up? Because that's like a scene where he's like,
03:29
Abba Zaba, you're my only friend and he's an Abbasaba,
03:33
And I remember always seeing at seven eleven like, man,
03:35
this should look like a weird ass cab, and then
03:38
because I fell in love would have baked. Then I
03:40
started eating him, like actually, these are kind of good
03:43
m M. Yeah, it's long lasting fun. I don't think
03:46
I've had an abazaba since like I was like trick
03:49
or treating age, ye see, and in my neighborhood I was,
03:52
I don't know, for whatever reason, there was not abasaba
03:55
was being handed out where I'd like, never encountered it
03:58
in a halloween you out in the wild until I
04:01
did it myself at a seven even so I don't know.
04:04
Just to give you an idea of my struggle as
04:06
a child, okay, I just discovered your magnum opus about
04:11
why Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born takes place in
04:14
an alternate reality where nine eleven never took place. I'm convinced, Um,
04:19
can you tell the people give them a little It
04:22
can't be fully encapsulated and just you know, a teaser,
04:25
but just to give they need to go check it out,
04:28
watch the watch the entire power point presentation themselves. Yes,
04:34
it is a twenty plus minute video essay where I
04:40
make the very strong case that Bradley Cooper is A
04:43
Star is Born, starring Lady Gaga, is a movie that
04:48
takes place in an alternate reality where nine eleven never happened.
04:52
There's a lot of, you know, things to strengthen that
04:56
thesis statement that I you could just go to my
04:58
pined tweet. It's my pin to tweet at Kate Raft.
05:02
But you know, one of the things is that Alec
05:05
Baldwin was like, they get the host of SNL when
05:11
Ali was the musical guest for the season finale, and
05:14
I I thought this was back when you know, the
05:18
movie came out, Trump was president and Alec was doing
05:20
all the all the Trump impressions, and I was like,
05:24
there's no way Alec would be the host of the
05:26
season finale if this was a universe where Trump was president.
05:30
And then I like did a lot of thinking and
05:32
I realized Trump never got elected because nine eleven never happened.
05:36
And there's so many more things, but that's just one
05:39
of them. Yeah, the level of fame I found very
05:42
compelling that like he is pre nine eleven famous. Yeah,
05:47
he's like his genres like country ish rock, which like
05:51
just isn't like a thing that is as popular as
05:55
it is in the movie universe, and it kind have
06:00
was headed in that direction, Like Willcoe was getting really
06:03
popular right as eleven hit, and it's like, what if
06:08
we kept going on that trajectory exactly. And I think
06:12
that if the Dixie Chicks didn't get canceled for saying
06:16
George Bush was bad, there would have been a more
06:20
like politically ambiguous country music scene, whereas like after an eleven,
06:26
I feel like it became way more like conservative never happened.
06:33
It would be more like everybody would listen to country
06:36
instead of it being like this like politicized, like we
06:40
love America genre that it like to ship. The film
06:45
is meant to ask get the audience to examine what
06:50
our world would have looked like had we not just
06:52
launched into this failed war on terror and exactly exactly,
06:57
And as we get to the twenty year anniversary of
06:59
ninol then next month, I think it's important for people
07:03
to watch My power Plant. Really, it's so good, it's
07:08
so convincing that people need to check it out. All Right, Kate,
07:11
we're going to get to know you a little bit
07:13
better in a moment. First, a few of the things
07:15
we're talking about. We kick it off maybe with Quentin Tarantino.
07:19
This is a silly little story, but I think it
07:22
explains a lot about America. Yeah, so we'll talk about
07:26
that we'll talk about this being that most wonderful time
07:29
of the year when we returned to school and just
07:32
checking with America. How's how's that going. We'll talk about
07:36
Caitlin jenner Or's run for California governor. Very serious run,
07:41
very seriously, that very serious. Sorry, I didn't mean to,
07:45
you know, not not put that disclaimer in there. We
07:48
will talk about the eviction ban and rent relief programs
07:53
and why they're so damned complicated by design. And before
07:58

09:09

09:14
of that, but I don't know I needed to know.
09:19
I needed to hear that too, Yes, other than just
09:22
searching for our live show after you just heard us
09:25
tease it right there? What is something from your search history? Okay?
09:30
So I just I had to check because I couldn't remember,
09:34
and I looked and it was it was Craigslist electric
09:37
scooter because I really want to buy, like I want
09:41
someone to have like stolen a Lime or a bird
09:44
to scooter and like converted it so that it's no longer,
09:48
like you know, an app scooter and I want to
09:50
buy it from someone on Craigslist, like I want to
09:52
do a shady scooter deal. I don't want to be
09:55
the one to convert the stolen scooter, but I want
09:58
to buy like a spoil and sto property, right yeah,
10:02
but I like a stolen abscuter off of Craigslist, like
10:07
so bad. I really want to. I want to like
10:09
zip around Echo Park in like a in like one
10:13
of these like scooters. But I don't want to have
10:14
I want to like just buy it operated scooter. There's
10:20
there been no there's nothing like that. I don't there
10:24
has to be there. There definitely has to be and
10:27
I was like, I didn't, I didn't search that hard.
10:30
It's still a journey. I want if you listening to
10:31
this and you live in l A, please I will
10:35
buy the scooter from you. I want one wink wink,
10:37
you know, I'll buy allegedly. Allegedly, I'll take it off
10:41
your hands to repair it myself and then return it
10:43
to the rifle owner obviously because I'm obviously I know,
10:48
I'm not even trying. I'm just openly doing crimes on
10:52
this podcast, not even trying to hide it. That's what
10:55
we're here for. Nobody listens to it, don't. Oh yeah,
10:57
I sell catalytic converters that I steal off of cars
10:59
on the side and link for that too. But I'd
11:04
imagine if you were looking for when you would go
11:06
to like a scooter, like an East scooter repair place,
11:11
you know, like because I'm thinking of like a nineties movie,
11:13
where are it's like eight millimeter and you're like, how
11:15
do I get down? Like first you gotta get an
11:17
orbit of the scene, and then from there be like
11:20
who are the shadiest cats? You know? They're like, oh,
11:22
that's Rick, and then Ris probably. Then Rick leads you
11:25
to like those Limes Like he's like, I have a
11:28
first gen Limes scooter. If you're looking for it, yes,
11:32
I need a guy like that. Like I feel like
11:34
there's a guy. There's got to be a guy probably
11:37
like on my block that does that. I just have
11:40
to find it. Or if you work for the companies,
11:42
let us know how to just make it ourselves. You know,
11:45
is there some tracking chip in there? I'm sure there is.
11:48
That's how they find you and tell you not to
11:50
sell them. In front of the Metro station, But you know,
11:54
what are the secrets here? Yeah? Yeah, I like the
11:58
idea of somebody just trying to open their own like
12:02
one scooter, like an indie taxicab company, just a shady
12:07
indie scooter. Or you can use mine. Okay, how about this? Okay,
12:16
would you buy one? If someone it's that it's an
12:19
above board scooter, but it's meant to look they got
12:22
all the body pieces on it, so it looks exactly
12:25
like an app scooter, but it's actually above board, not stolen,
12:28
and you can do whatever you want with it, honestly,
12:30
Like that's what I was expecting to find. I just
12:33
think it'd be funny to find someone that like stole
12:36
it and spray painted it black or something like. But
12:39
like I actually, like genuinely just want an electric scooter.
12:42
I would do it above board, of course, but the
12:45
bonus if bonus if it looks like one of the
12:48
the app ones. But like I just like I live
12:51
I live it on a hill and I'm like so
12:53
sick of like walking up and down it, and I'm like,
12:56
would love just like a little help, you know exactly
12:59
if like that would be not only a very commonly
13:05
stolen a piece of property. But I feel like the
13:08
police wouldn't even blame the people after they stole them.
13:12
If you had a private scooter that looked exactly like
13:14
a line scooter and somebody you just came through and
13:18
like took it, they'd be like, well, that's the problem.
13:21
Kind of have to cut a break on this one.
13:25
That's pretty funny. I love that idea. What is something
13:28
you think is overrated? Summer? I'm over it. I'm done.
13:33
It's fault. It is fault, but I'm over like it
13:38
being hot, I don't have a c right now. It's
13:41
a mess, and I'm over it. I know this is
13:44
like this is a basic answer, but I'm done. I'm
13:48
done with summer, right. I mean because when last time
13:50
you were here, we were like things like the end
13:53
of April, so I feel like we had eyes. It
13:56
was like the vaccine optimism was up. Everyone like because
14:01
it's up, then it's stuck and we're ready to go
14:03
out there. And now did you go did you have
14:06
a bit of a like were you feeling hot vack summer?
14:09
And then you're like, I'm off this ship. It it's
14:11
all up. I went I went so hard, like I
14:15
was so strict during like most of the pandemic, and
14:19
then as soon as I got VACS, I went so hard.
14:21
I was like I went to Vegas, I went to
14:25
Catalina Island. I like went on like trips with friends.
14:29
I like went like dancing without a mask inside and
14:33
packed like clubs and like, I you know, I went
14:36
super hard. And then that one I didn't go to
14:41
I went to I would danced at Akbar a lot.
14:43
And then I went to like some warehouse party that
14:46
I paid twenty five dollars for. That was too, that
14:48
was like not worth it, but it was fun still, right, right,
14:52
like cleaning the LCD sound system song or that's a
14:55
part dance party, got it as it used to be
14:59
at the satellite or something, right, And yeah, yeah I
15:03
gotta parties. Yeah I was there. I know. Yeah, I
15:12
went to Los Globos. I've been all around, but but
15:18
you've kind of but now what the summer? What's happened?
15:21
Why are you souring on summer? I think it's too hot.
15:23
I think the vibe is bad. You know, people are
15:26
getting freaked out about Delta, Like I think, like I
15:31
haven't decided like what I'm going to change about Like
15:35
I think I think I have to stop going to
15:38
maskless dance indoor dance parties for one. It sounds like it.
15:42
I think, like, so that's one thing I've had to
15:44
stop doing. And now that that's not on the table,
15:46
I'm over summer. I'm like, let's just get on with Fall.
15:49
I'm ready to just like have a pumpkin spice latte
15:53
m hmm, dive headfirst into a pumpkin patch. Like, I
15:58
just want Fall to go back to school shopping. I'm
16:02
not in school, haven't been for over a decade, But
16:06
damn that would be fun. I just wow, I would
16:08
that feels like a fun time. I just I would
16:10
get so high and just buy back to school supplies.
16:13
Like but the version I used to try to do
16:15
when I was a kid, and my mom like, you
16:16
ain't getting that fucking binder. I'm like, but it's it's
16:19
a five star need one. It's supposed to last for
16:22
at least two years. Those are the good that's the
16:25
good ship, the five star made binders with like the
16:28
cloth covers and then put you bomb that ship with
16:31
the white out, you know, with so good. Yeah. I
16:37
also had that experience where my mom wouldn't let me
16:39
like buy everything I wanted back to school shopping. So
16:43
I do think as an adult this year, I'm gonna
16:45
like go full on back to school shopping. I'm just
16:48
gonna wait outside by a man. You want the ship, yeah,
16:51
I'll just give it to like some cool kid outside
16:53
the target. I just needed the experience of like not
16:56
saying no to myself in the back school shopping context
16:59
because it's all peachy folders all the time. Do you
17:02
guys have the same sense memory as me? Where the
17:06
like it's kind of like a sweet eraser smell. Do
17:10
you have that? Oh? Yeah, that was erasers that were
17:13
like on Asian pencils and stuff like that. It was
17:16
like that it was different than that hardass red rub
17:19
or like the colored mark Like I remember I would
17:22
have like these Japanese erasers that were like look like
17:24
food and ship that I would bring back from Japan.
17:27
Why did they smell so delicious? I don't know. Probably
17:30
to mask all the other terrible chemicals. They just spread
17:34
a little reeking. Okay, what does something you think is underrated? Well,
17:40
to piggyback on what I thought was overrated, I'm gonna
17:43
say fall is underrated. I know, everybody already likes fault,
17:47
but they don't like it enough. It's it should be longer,
17:52
it should be all year round. Even Yeah, I think
17:56
fall is a state of mind, and I think it's underrated.
17:59
What what what do you think people are overlooking? Like?
18:02
What are the obvious reasons you think people like fault?
18:04
And what are the reasons that you're like, But y'all
18:05
are missing the whole other part. I think, like people
18:08
like that the weather is cooling down, people like that
18:11
the leaves are changing. I mean not here necessarily, but
18:14
like in other parts of the country. I think people
18:19
like just the cozy vibe. But I think but they don't.
18:25
M what's what's the underrated part about fault? The celebration
18:29
of death and decay. We should celebrate that point. You
18:32
just lean into that. It's already a part of our culture,
18:35
our world. Everyone's dying, the world is dying. Fall is
18:39
is like literally leaves dying as a season is the best.
18:43
Like iconography too, It has like pumpkins are the coolest,
18:47
like icons of any season. I feel like icons and
18:52
then like the like it's like a fun like Halloween
18:57
is so fun, and like it's all like a fun,
19:01
goofy celebration of like you know, goth ship, which is like, right,
19:08
that's our world that we live in. Let's have some
19:10
fun with it. Let's have a let's have fall, let's
19:12
have let's start every season into the goth season, which
19:15
is fault yeah, which and we call it the fall
19:18
like rather than just it's the fall, like the fall
19:21
of civilization. I mean, we're in the fall of civilization.
19:25
Let's like, let's celebrate the fall. I wish, I wish
19:30
there was a climate that, like southern California is basically
19:35
summer around like year round. It would because if there
19:38
was a fall year round, which is impossible because you
19:41
can't be perpetually falling, but is there like a place
19:45
like that. There has to be like what but then
19:48
but then the leaves can't the leaves have to go
19:51
back up on the tree. Famously, leaves can't just always
19:55
being tree. It keeps on like leaves bald and immediately green,
20:01
one sprout, turn brown, then fall and it's like, oh
20:04
my god, we should get we should get like a
20:07
tree to the beach that makes you to turn old,
20:12
and then it would be always changing colors like constant,
20:17
like everybody rapid rapid aging. It's time. Yeah, we figured
20:21
it out. The answer Jack is the Beach from that
20:24
M Night Shamalan movie. Honestly, like, I loved that movie.
20:29
That's another thing that's underrated is the movie Old. Oh wow,
20:34
I love the first I've heard, the first positive take
20:37
I've heard on Everyone hated it, everyone said it was stupid.
20:39
I'm here bravely saying that The Old, The Beach that
20:42
Makes You Old, is a fucking great film. It gave
20:45
me a panic attack in the movie theater that I
20:49
had to go to the bathroom and yeah, like it
20:51
gave you, Like it stressed me out, and like I
20:53
was so in it and I was like, wow, that's
20:56
a good movie. Like it sucked me and I loved it.
20:58
I love M Night. I always have. I'm a big
21:01
M Night fan. Was there a wait? So just the
21:04
concept of the film made you have a panic attack,
21:06
or just the stress of the film like sort of
21:07
culminated at a certain point You're like, Okay, well I
21:09
need a second. I need a second. I need a second.
21:11
I don't know, maybe it's say something about my mental state,
21:13
but the movie freaked me out. I was like, oh
21:15
my God, like yeah, I know somebody who had a
21:17
full blown like they went cat like Dave like got
21:21
locked up in a panic attack during the movie Signs
21:24
when the alien crosses the camera and the birthday party
21:27
like footage. They said that like an ambulance had to
21:31
be called and they had to stop the film because
21:33
she basically was like couldn't leave her body. She was like,
21:36
oh my god. So I was like I don't. I'm like,
21:39
I guess his movies are powerful. That was me during
21:42
Old I don't know, it's it is super embarrassing, but
21:44
I had a massive panic attack and then I left
21:47
the theater being like that was really good. Kind of
21:51
needed that. I don't know if I needed the panic
21:53
attack or the movie, but wow, Like I love a
21:57
movie that hurts me, you know, like a movie that
22:00
painful to lot, like me more of that. Yes, Daddy
22:06
take me to the beach. Yes, it really sucked me up.
22:10
When the kids like went through puberty super fast and
22:14
like became like adults, I was like, that is so
22:17
fucked Like there's something so fucked up about that. It
22:21
really sucked me up. Yes, just show them like anamorphing
22:25
but you know they like have like several like sets
22:28
of actors playing their kids like throughout their aging process.
22:34
In your mind, you see like a werewolf transitions, like
22:39
like pubic hair blowing out of the Oh my god,
22:43
they should have had that shot. Should have done that. Sorry,
22:46
this is a lot of spoilers for the movie Old
22:48
If you didn't know they'd get older in the movie,
22:51
I think the only thing people know that they got.
22:56
How do they handle the clothing situation? Is it an
23:00
incredible hulk situation where they just like have kind of
23:03
like I think like once they realize that the kids
23:06
are like growing, like the little boy like can't fit
23:09
into his shorts anymore, so they kind of addressed that
23:13
they have to like change clothes. I'm sure they can't
23:16
fit into their Yeah, they don't. They don't hulk out though.
23:21
What about the outgrow their I mean, that's that's the
23:24
real stressor for me, is the kids already grow outgrow
23:27
their clothes. You get like three wares out of them,
23:29
And now now you're telling me it is that is
23:35
such a weird part about being a kid is that
23:37
you just like have to get rid of your clothes
23:39
all the time because you're just like growing all the time,
23:43
is there another family on the down the beach who
23:46
has the kid who has experienced the same thing, and
23:48
maybe we could get some of their clothes like hand
23:50
me down on the beach. Here we sent like emergency
23:54
clothes to school with my five year old at the
23:57
beginning of school year, and we at the back at
24:00
the end of the school year and they're just like
24:02
comically small, like they you wouldn't fit into them at all.
24:06
Great the span of a year out of this, Yeah,
24:10
where is he going to school? That beach? Yeah he
24:13
goes to that. Yeah. His he's shaving now, which is
24:17
weird for it's weird for a five year old. But yeah,
24:20
well fair your glass is broken as you guys getting
24:24
into a tip. He's getting pretty strong too. He sneezed
24:31
and he accidentally head but if you broke my class,
24:34
the accidental head butt is real. Yeah. I saw that
24:36
the other day. I felt really bad for this mom
24:38
who's like looking at our baby, and the baby it's
24:40
a baby, had like loose head. Yeah, and it looked
24:44
like the recoil was so real. I was like, oh God,
24:50
not doing that, not having a kid, just for that.
24:52
I don't want to help me out well, let's take
24:56
a quick break and we'll come back and come up
24:58
with another really good reason have a kid, Quentin Tarantino,
25:14
and we're back. And Quentin Tarantino made headlines this past
25:20
week because he basically announced that he has never forgiven
25:26
his mom for being dismissive of his writing career. He
25:33
just said on a podcast, he revealed this terrible back
25:37
and forth about when he was a kid and his
25:39
mom was essentially saying, like, you need to focus on
25:41
school and not writing, and this is the quote quote,
25:44
and then in the middle of a little tirade, she said, oh,
25:47
and by the way, this little writing career with the
25:50
finger quotes, this little writing career that you're doing, that
25:53
ship is fucking over. Then he basically clarified that his
25:57
mom meant that she didn't want him writing in lass
26:00
when when he was supposed to be doing something else,
26:03
when he was quote as he quoted, supposed to be
26:06
doing something else, Yeah, fucking learning, you child. And then
26:10
he goes on to say, and when she said that
26:12
to me in that sarcastic way, I was in my
26:14
head and I go, Okay, lady, when I become a
26:17
successful writer, you will never see one penny from my success.
26:20
There will be no house for you. There's no vacation
26:23
for you, No Elvis Cadillac for mommy. You get nothing
26:26
because you said that. There are consequences for your words
26:30
as you deal with your children. Remember, there are consequences
26:34
for your sarcastic tone about what's meaningful to them. I mean,
26:40
I'm sure he said and like thought all those things
26:44
at the moment, and then most kids like calm down
26:48
fifteen minutes later and they're like, oh, I guess I
26:50
should not be writing in the middle of math class.
26:53
Or maybe they don't, maybe they like stay mad, but dude, no,
26:57
but no Elvis Cadillac. I was like that for mommy.
27:01
Also an anecdote, how about him? The two times I've
27:04
seen Quentin Tarantino out and like I've seen him order drink.
27:07
He drinks Cadillac margharita's, So I don't know if he
27:10
got he's been having Cadillac on the brain for a minute.
27:13
Just a side note. I think he even put that
27:15
in one of the movies he directed, didn't he And
27:17
like a death proof He like makes people Cadillac margaritas
27:21
and like makes the characters like he plays a bartender
27:24
and makes the characters be like these are so good.
27:27
Your margaritas are the best. Dude, Wait, what's a Cadillac margharita?
27:31
What is that? It's a margarita and it's the floater.
27:35
Let me just tell me. Let me let me tell
27:37
you what the doesn't care the Cadillac margharita. Oh so
27:42
they're saying uses premium top shelf. Oh, Graham one, that's
27:46
what it is. That's the that's the difference makers that
27:48
there's Grahamnan. I just love that he's like sticking to
27:51
the same like logic and attitude that he had as
27:54
like a twelve year old. It's like, no, I'm not
27:56
gonna like mature beyond this statement that I made as
28:00
a child. It's interesting. Yeah, they ask his mom like
28:04
the table was like, hey, what do you think about this?
28:06
And she was like, I love my son, like I
28:08
have no ill will towards him. I think, like, I'm
28:10
glad I was at his wedding and like I heard
28:12
about the She said, like I'm glad to know about
28:15
the birth of his son or something, so like there's
28:16
clearly some distance there. But then she go went on
28:22
to say, I also quote do not wish to participate
28:24
in this selacious transactional media frenzy. So I was like,
28:28
good for you. I'm dead and this ship, bro, don't
28:31
drag me into this. Yeah, my son's fucking fun boy,
28:33
but I don't care. I don't need his money anywhere.
28:39
But I also wanted to play this clip from It's
28:42
a Charlie Rose interview with Quentin Tarantino from right when
28:46
pulp fiction hit and he was first becoming, you know,
28:49
nationally famous, and it's him actually talking about his relationship
28:54
with his mom and when he's at the beginning of
28:57
his fame, he has a much different kind a story
29:00
to tell about his parents role in his career. So
29:04
we're gonna hear Charlie Rose basically like, so, did you
29:06
want to be a director from when you were a
29:08
little kid? And this is Quentin's answer, by the way,
29:13
flying on whatever substance he was flying on for. Okay, Oh,
29:23
it's the only thing that the director, greenwriter. Just get
29:25
me in this business. I want to be there. Well,
29:27
it was funny I didn't say director screenwriter, because I
29:30
guess I always knew movies were written, but I didn't
29:32
know what a director was. You know, but um, actually,
29:34
my my, my, my parents. Okay, I used to be
29:37
a director someday and everything that I didn't know what
29:38
that was. I wanted to be an actor because when
29:40
you're a little kid and you want to be so
29:43
you said, well, I want to do what they do,
29:45
and um, so alter my childhood, all right, I said,
29:48
you know, I'm gonna be an actor. I'm gonna be
29:49
an actor. And I wanted to be an actor, and
29:51
um but oddly enough, though I remember my my mom's
29:54
tell stories and I remember him, she doesn't have to
29:55
remind me of them. Where I would like to see
29:57
a movie and I'd like it shape and I used
29:59
to play with g I Joes. You know, I had
30:01
a whole buch of g I Joes, those dolls. Remember movies. Basically,
30:05
I would just kind of like do my version of
30:06
whatever I saw everything. I would be acting out all
30:09
the parts with all the g I Joes, and I
30:11
would be like, you know, kind of like directing these
30:13
little plays just for myself with the g I Joe's,
30:17
And the same thing is, like, you know, I would
30:18
know and I'd see some movie because I saw all
30:20
kinds of stuff, not just Herbie goes in mind to Carlo,
30:22
but like all kinds of like, um, you know, my
30:25
mom took me to Karla Knowledge and The Wild Bunch
30:27
and all these kind of movies when I was a kid,
30:29
and so like because you wanted to do it, because
30:31
she know, she just like movies. A movie. There's nothing
30:34
he's gonna see in a movie is gonna miss him mom, right,
30:36
you know. And it's like, I mean like and there
30:38
are some kids that yeah, yeah, well today she's very
30:42
happy she did that. But so huh. She went out
30:49
of her way to take him two movies that we're
30:52
going to feed his obsession. She told him he was
30:55
going to be a director before he knew what that meant. Like, my,
31:01
the reason that stuck out to me when I when
31:03
I read this story is because I remember being like, oh,
31:06
that's such a cool thing that somebody's actually like giving
31:10
flowers to their parents, like and like you're seeing how
31:14
because most celebrities don't do that. Most celebrities kind of
31:18
rewrite their narratives so they never got any help. But
31:22
that's why I think this is a very instructive kind
31:26
of story about just how America works. That like he
31:30
has rewritten his own story. So instead of like believing
31:35
in him and helping him like come up with the
31:37
idea that became his career and his life, he rewrites
31:42
it so that his mom is like, you'll never be shit,
31:46
and his mom and it's just like that's like I
31:50
I think about this a lot with Drake too, Like
31:52
you could. You can see the evolution of Drake and
31:55
in his songs where it starts out and he's just
31:59
like an actor who had a dream of rapping, and
32:01
his friends and his mom like help him, and soon
32:04
it becomes like everyone's against him, like starting from the
32:08
bottom of like I don't know what you were famous
32:12
by the time your brain was fully formed. I don't.
32:15
But we we need the bootstrap Smiths so bad that
32:20
we reward people for like editing it, editing their backstory
32:26
so and like behaving like complete monstrous sociopaths and like
32:30
turning on the people who actually helped pull them up
32:33
out of you know, the muck of normalcy. We we
32:38
want them to like turn on those people and just
32:41
like make it so that nobody believed in me, and
32:44
then I became this singular genius. And it's like rarely
32:48
how it works I meant this on one level, like, oh,
32:52
it's interesting. He has a lot of violent scenes involving
32:55
women in this film. I'm like curious, what is going on? Really?
33:00
Like what version is real? Was he did he not
33:02
want to give that up in the Charlie Rose interview
33:05
because he had there's some something's fucked up with him
33:08
and his mom. Clearly he's got he's got some funked
33:10
up ship with his mom, and like I would, I
33:12
wouldn't be surprised if he has that kind of complex
33:14
where he like is obsessed with her in both positive
33:17
and negative ways. It clearly comes something's coming out in
33:21
his work, Like I mean, it sounds like I mean,
33:24
my guests would be like they've probably had moments in
33:28
their relationship that have been better or and sometimes where
33:32
it sounds like it's bad now because she hasn't like
33:34
met the kid or something with kid. Yeah, and they
33:39
hear about the kid like sounds like drama. Sounds like
33:41
some drama, right, Yeah, I don't, And then I just
33:44
think of like who I mean for him to really
33:48
be like, no, I don't want to do any like
33:50
I'm not fucking helping her in no way. I mean
33:53
you'd think that it was chronic, just absolute undercutting from
33:57
his mom because like, look, I think everybody grew up
34:00
and you're we have parents were like that's not working
34:02
with that nonsense or whatever, like you need to focus
34:05
on it. I never took that and be like I'm
34:07
a fucking show you mom, because you want to act sarcastic,
34:10
I'm gonna fucking wait till COVID hit. I'm gonna be
34:12
like I don't give a funk if you need groceries,
34:15
you know, like what is this ship? I mean, it's
34:18
not a good it's not a good look to be
34:20
like a rich person bragging about not giving your parents money,
34:24
like for such a petty reason, like regardless of the reason,
34:28
Like it's just like you should do that in private,
34:31
like if you're if you're gonna sunk over your parents,
34:33
like and everyone knows you're rich, Like maybe we don't
34:35
like advertise. It doesn't look good. Yeah, those mom's clearly
34:40
like just the transalacious, transactional media. Like the transactional I
34:46
think is like, oh wow, she's really smart. Yeah, oh
34:49
that is that's Tarantinos mom. Yeah, I mean it sounds
34:52
like it sounds like Lucille Bluth do not wish in
34:58
the salacious trans actional media frenzy. It's like your son
35:02
is crying out for help. Sound like a law understand
35:07
the question and I won't respond to it. Yeah, I
35:12
don't know. It sends names Leo two cool. I wonder
35:16
if that named after her, After Leo, I hope so
35:20
the vacant the vapan AirPod, fucking King of Hollywood better
35:28
Yeah CNK. They did say though, that he admitted, like, Okay,
35:33
he did help her once, like he said, what like
35:36
he helped her out of a jam with the I
35:37
R S. He said, but no house, no, no Cadillac. Okay,
35:42
so I'm not a total monster. So it's like, so
35:43
you did kind of help her then, okay. It's also
35:47
I think there's you know, the part where you hear
35:51
him say and she doesn't need to tell me because
35:54
I remember the story myself, And yeah, there's something's the
35:57
anger that you can see in this podcast recounting of
36:01
the scene that he has chosen to make like sort
36:06
of the central memory of his mom. It's also that
36:09
thing where I do feel like, when you become very famous,
36:14
you stop having to develop as a human being. And
36:19
a lot of this ship feels like early twenties and
36:22
angst that you grow out of pretty quickly and that
36:26
you know, yeah, because it's definitely like, yeah, that angst
36:29
of when you're cry screaming at your parents saying you
36:32
don't even know me, Like, but in the middle age,
36:38
it's it is so funny, Like I mean, I think, like,
36:40
you know, we all regress around our parents and like
36:43
have fucked up baggage or whatever. Like it's just funny
36:46
to be like doing that in public on a podcast,
36:50
like when you're going to Tarantino, I guess like, hey,
36:53
we're all human. We all don't want to buy our
36:56
mommy's an Elvis Catalan, right. If there were means once
37:01
we all still say mommy, you know, well let me
37:05
tell you something. Charlie. I'm like, mommy, fuck you, you know,
37:09
And she was like, Quinn, I said no, Mommy, I'm
37:11
done with this, so fuck you, bitch. And that's me Quentin. Okay,
37:15
Like whoa, that's a good. That's good. That's a good Quentin.
37:20
If I was Quint Tarantino's mom, I would just like
37:23
lie about having more I r S trouble. I'd be like, oh, yeah,
37:26
oh no, they're after me again. Time to get a check,
37:31
but actually make it out to uh Brent's pool supply
37:36
and then in the notes, in the notes put down
37:39
payment for hot tub and then and then my address.
37:46
I'm sure all like, both of those stories are true.
37:49
His mom telling him he's never going to be a writer,
37:53
and also his mom taking him to violent movies he
37:56
wanted to see because she could tell that there was
37:58
something there with him, and also telling him he's going
38:01
to be a director. It's just, you know, relationships with
38:05
parents are infinite. There's an infinite number of like memories
38:09
that you could choose to go with, and it's it's just,
38:12
i think very American to cling to the one where nobody,
38:16
nobody thought you could do it right, Yeah, because if
38:18
you zoom out, it just sounds like a mom who's like, Okay,
38:21
he's not paying attention in school anymore because so into
38:24
this thing. And I've been there too, I've been completely distracted.
38:28
And then when your parents like, hey, knock this shift off,
38:30
you need to get through school, and then saying something
38:33
like that, but he's like and then she was like,
38:35
this is sucking over for a little tirade. Is he
38:38
called it a little wow. I love the I love
38:42
the like the concept of like bashing your child's career,
38:47
like specifically saying, like your writing careers over, like your career,
38:50
like you're like jen years old and right you're writing
38:55
career is over. Like the word career makes me think,
38:59
like this conversation never happened, Like I don't know, I
39:01
think you would say that because it wasn't like, yeah,
39:07
he wasn't really like the child script writing contests of
39:10
like the seventies or something where they're like, this child
39:12
is a genius. But when you're a kid, I can
39:15
imagine like inventing the word career in your mind because
39:18
you think you have a career. But like I don't
39:20
I can't imagine a parent saying that to a child.
39:22
But whatever, probably fake, it could be, could be. All right,
39:29
let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
39:31
talk about back to school. And we're back and school
39:45
is back in sash Baby in some some parts of
39:49
the country, Nevada, Florida, mississipp How's how's it going, Miles?
39:56
I mean, just a cursory look at the headlines and
40:00
it's they're terrifying, Okay, So just I just searched school
40:05
COVID this morning because I'm just because you know, I
40:07
saw one thing about like in so in Florida, four
40:11
teachers just died of COVID its like before the school
40:14
you even started. So it wasn't that they got it
40:17
in school, but they're like four teachers are like, are
40:20
like the students are going to find out that their
40:22
teachers passed away like days before the year started. And
40:26
they said that three of the four were unvaccinated, or
40:29
at least three of the four were unvaccinated, according to
40:31
the school union president. And they were like on summer
40:34
break when they caught it and just practically passed away
40:37
right before the school. And I was like, oh my god.
40:39
So then I was like possibly working service jobs to
40:42
supplement their income, but who knows. Yeah, but then you
40:45
see another thing in Florida, four hundred students in faculty
40:49
must isolate after a COVID exposure at school. So four
40:53
over four hundred students in Palm Beach County they had
40:56
to quarantine just two days after school began because of
40:59
a corona virus outbreak at school. And so they're like, yeah,
41:04
essentially like when school began fifty one students and staff
41:07
had tested positive, so in total, four forty have had
41:10
to isolate. I said, oh, my god. And this school
41:13
has a mask mandate, but parents can opt out, so
41:18
it's not I don't know what the point of that
41:20
mandate is. Then you look at Nevada. This other one
41:23
said more than eighty students were potentially exposed to COVID
41:25
nineteen on the first day of class in Reno, Nevada
41:28
on Monday, after a parents sent their child to school
41:31
despite both the parent and child receiving a positive COVID
41:34
nineteen test just two days earlier. The exposed students had
41:37
to quarantine at home and started distance learning on Tuesday.
41:41
I mean, so, my question, the number of car wrecks.
41:46
The numbers in Florida are worse than they were at
41:49
the peak of of COVID, like last year when everybody
41:55
was doing distance learning. It just feels like I was
41:58
just talking to a friend of mine who like works
42:02
in software sales and was doing a demo thing for
42:07
a bunch of clients, and he was talking about how
42:10
at the beginning of the day everyone was masked because
42:14
they didn't know each other, but by the end of
42:16
the day, he was the only person wearing a mask.
42:19
He's like, it's not like we got more vaccinated over
42:23
the course of the day, but people just got a
42:27
tired of it and be just like more comfortable, I
42:30
guess with And I feel like that's where we're at
42:33
with just the pandemic at large. We're just like done,
42:38
tired and also just comfortable with the idea of dying
42:42
of COVID. Yes. And I think a lot of people too, though,
42:46
have like their own like flawed anecdotal data set that says, Dude,
42:51
I've been doing my ship and I've been healthy or
42:54
I haven't gotten sick, so what is and now I'm
42:58
vaccinated even better, you know what? Like there's a lot
43:00
of there's a lot of psychological things that too, that
43:03
like I think make people not necessarily that they're like,
43:05
I don't give a funk if I die. More so,
43:07
like I mean, based on this current plan on on,
43:11
I've been doing great, So why the fund should I
43:13
change anything? And I think that's where I think for
43:16
even my I find myself feeling like that too. But
43:19
then I'm like, oh, right, but prior to this, I
43:21
was not socializing. I was like I was taking my
43:24
safety very seriously. And it's not it's not that I
43:26
was out in high risk situations constantly and not getting sick,
43:30
but like we sort of begin to, you know, rearrange
43:33
the order of things that sort of make ourselves more
43:36
comfortable with things, at least for me. That's how that's happened.
43:40
The c d C, I think it was a director
43:42
of CDC or some health official straight up said it
43:46
was like weeks ago. They were like, if you're not vaccinated,
43:50
you are going to get the delta variant. Like that
43:52
is how communic like it is. It's happened when not
43:56
if it is a thousands revalent in the nasal cavities
44:02
of people, even people who are vaccinated who have breaks
44:08
from infections, there's a thousand times more COVID particles. I
44:13
don't know. I'm not a scientist, but I heard someone
44:16
say someone at work, and this is not a scientist,
44:19
this is someone just at my work, but so it
44:21
could be wrong. That might as well be a fucking
44:24
Nobel prize. Someone of my work was like, the regular
44:30
COVID is like a spray bottle, and the delta is
44:33
like a hose in terms of just like you're gonna
44:37
get it, yeah and again, and you look sorry. I
44:40
wasn't even done with the headlines because we have to
44:43
take a trip over to Mississippi. Five thousand in isolation
44:48
after three days of school was a headline nearly and
44:52
from the article quote nearly five thousand children, educators, in
44:55
school staff or quarantined in Mississippi after returning classrooms at
44:58
the start of the school year. I'm under mask optional policies.
45:02
The sixty nine outbreaks reported between August second to August six,
45:08
which is the second week of school for some districts,
45:11
resulted in nearly one thousand teachers or one thousand children
45:14
and three hundred teachers and staff testing positive. Oh my god,
45:18
that sucks so bad. I can't even say nice. After
45:21
you said sixty nine, I can't even either. And I
45:24
famously love six or nine? Did I say sixty nine? Oh? Yeah, six?
45:30
I mean that's how bad it is. You don't even notice.
45:34
You didn't even notice that you said sixty nine. Things
45:37
that bring culture back to It's a shame, but yeah,
45:41
I mean, it's just I don't know. There Every article
45:45
you read is like it's a bad nothing's turning out great.
45:50
I think the best piece of news with God is
45:51
that Blallapalooza only like could be attributed to like maybe
45:55
just under two hundred or like around two D twenty
45:58
infections from Lallapalooza, So it wasn't like a super spreader
46:01
VET that's good. I mean, like it's not good, but hey,
46:06
I look at these pictures right for as many people
46:09
you're like, but it seems like it's like what is it?
46:12
Because because it's outside, outside, is still outside? Is still
46:16
the way to go? Yeah? But still not if it
46:20
seems you know what I mean. And and again you
46:22
have people who were unvaccinated to there who just had
46:24
to bring negative tests and things like that. But it's
46:27
just the hard part about reading all these headlines is
46:30
like you just know that this is going to end
46:33
tragically before they figure out that they should have never
46:37
gone like gone back to in person instruction without He's
46:41
like really simple safety precautions and measures put into place.
46:46
And I've I'm not a parent, Jack, I know you're
46:49
a parent allegedly and some people I know that our parents,
46:53
but like my heart goes out to you all because
46:55
like having to navigate this world where it seems like
46:58
other parents ideas of safe is diametrically opposed to yours
47:02
in the sense that it's like this antithetical things like well,
47:05
we're just kind of dice rolling it with our kids,
47:07
but we've but we feel this is safe. It just
47:10
feels like total chaos. Yeah, I mean such chaos. We're
47:16
not back to school yet. M hm. I have to
47:19
just based on last year, it seems like everybody was
47:23
very into the precautions. So I'm hoping that we have
47:28
we have the right community for it. But yeah, man,
47:31
it's it's I have a couple of friends who are
47:35
teachers and we just had a big party. I mean
47:39
not a big party, you know, like eight of us
47:41
came over to their house to have like a by
47:45
sea until school years over, like because we're all vacs
47:49
their vacs. But they were like, yeah, like we're just
47:50
gonna be like vectors of disease for a little bit,
47:53
like we're gonna get COVID, like just because they're going
47:56
back to in person learning, and they're like they're very scared.
48:01
They're not feeling good about it. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
48:05
so this these are the steaks right now, and it's
48:08
the most wonderful time of the year. It turns. Yes, yeah,
48:11
it's it's fall. Yeah, the fall. It's the fall. It's
48:15
the fall. It's fall, it's the fall. Why is it
48:19
Why does the South go back so early to school? Yeah,
48:22
I's news to me. I didn't know that. I remember
48:26
when I lived in Kentucky we would go back to
48:28
school at the beginning of August. So it's like, okay,
48:30
so it's extra hot and uncomfortable, so we're gonna go
48:34
back because it's the South. It doesn't fully make sense.
48:38
Maybe it's like a farming thing or something. It seems
48:40
just based on a quick search, it seems like has
48:43
a lot to do with farming. Earlier start of the season.
48:46
Southern students will get out sooner in May to help
48:48
on the farm than Northern students, who typally got out
48:50
of school in June. So because they go back to
48:53
school in August, while the Northerners go back to school
48:55
in September. What about So Cal? We're just by then, y'all.
49:01
We just have to vibe it out hit the Marina.
49:04
We out well. Speaking of vibing it out in So Cal,
49:09
Caitlyn Jenner is running a very serious campaign for governor.
49:14
Super serious, so serious, Yeah you mean Big Brother. Australia
49:19
contestant Caitlyn Jenner, she was doing a like walking talk
49:25
tour of Venice Beach to essentially just you know, point
49:29
at the unhoused and be like, oh god, what a nuisance,
49:32
right Gavin Newsom should be out what are my ideas
49:34
for I don't know. Look, I just got back from Australia,
49:36
I'm jet lacked, but god. During this a lot of
49:40
people had a lot of questions for Caitlyn Jenner and
49:43
to your point, Kate, mostly being like, uh, you just
49:47
were on Australian celebrity Big Brother, like in the middle
49:51
of this, Like what is going on? This feels like
49:54
a stunt. So first people were asking like, hey, is
49:58
this like do you have some kind of moneymaking business
50:01
deals on the side that are like tied to this campaign?
50:03
And she got so fucking evasive. I just want to
50:06
play you some clips of people just asking very normal
50:09
questions of a gubernatorial candidate at a press conference. Check
50:14
this just straight up fucking pro answer from Caitlin asking
50:20
are you have you pursued any money making ventures based
50:23
on this campaign. A lot of people have said that
50:25
this is a vanity campaign. Can you reassure California voters
50:28
that you haven't pursued any money making ventures related to
50:32
this campaign? Reality shows, books, etcetera. I've never worked so
50:40
hard for nothing in my life. Um yeah, it's um no.
50:46
I had a prior from event in Australia that was
50:48
before this campaign even started. And uh not like most politicians,
50:55
I actually honor my contracts. Um yes, and I do
50:59
have a job. I think every candidate anyway, it's like
51:05
another minute of just uncomfortable. M Well, you know, she
51:11
knows everything besides make the jerk off hand motion when
51:15
she refers to the campaign. She's like this campaign whatever,
51:20
she's so over. She seems over it. I think like
51:23
it's a I don't know if it's not, like it's
51:25
a valid question. But also like it's like when you're
51:29
a celebrity, the way that Caitlin Jenner is a celebrity,
51:32
Like everything you do is for your personal brand, which
51:35
like will make you money. Like so like obviously like
51:39
she's making money from like being in the news, Like
51:42
it's going to turn into money, like her relevancy, like
51:46
she's going to book more reality things, Like she's gonna
51:49
whatever like this, this is the this is the Kardashian
51:53
business model. I think the thing my brain is objecting
51:57
to is that she wasn't more ready to lie like
52:01
like as a as a politician. Absolutely, And the funny
52:06
thing was like after the fact, like one of her
52:09
reps like reached out to like the journalists and like
52:11
answered the question like directly. It's like, no, this has
52:14
nothing to do with making money, and they're like, oh why,
52:17
and like they just weren't prepared to answer questions on well,
52:21
how are you? Then you're not a serious candidate. But again,
52:25
very serious campaign, very serious, and you know, you move on.
52:29
We're in a fucking pandemic. So not just you know,
52:33
the un housed, which I get is a really popular
52:35
talking point to just smear the poor, but also trying
52:38
to say like, you know, hey, do you want to
52:40
run this state? What about COVID? You know, what do
52:42
you think about you know, like vaccine mandates and things
52:46
like that that might be something you'd probably won away
52:48
in on as the potential governor. And then this is
52:51
just another great answer of just rapid response. You could
52:56
tell she's been thinking about this. It was a no
52:58
brainer to respond to such a simple question, what's your
53:03
plan on how to deal with the delta variant? If
53:06
you're a governor? Right now, we have to follow the science. California,
53:12
he is mandating masks in schools for his Republican governmental
53:17
in the SANTIS is fighting against masks in schools. Should
53:20
kids in schools be wearing masks? Um, that's really up
53:26
to the science of it. I'm the CDC says they
53:29
should like that, what the CDC says, But to be
53:36
honest with you, I'm I don't know if that is
53:40
the answer masks. Wait, so you said do what the
53:45
CDC says. Yeah, we should follow the science. But to
53:47
be honest, I don't know if science is the best thing.
53:51
Oh my god. Then when someone like in the crowd,
53:56
like like during like the press spray, like when people
53:58
are just choose taking questions, someone's like, what do you
54:01
think about mandating vaccines? Blah blah blah, And she's like,
54:04
I'm here to talk about the issues of the day,
54:06
like referring to the unhoused. And then another part is
54:09
like we're in a pandemic though, crickets, so oh my god. Yeah,
54:17
we're very lucky in the state of California to be
54:20
looking down the barrel of just you know, bringing back
54:23
fucking Gavin Newsom who's not doing the best, or just
54:27
a Republican to fully fun things up, so so fun
54:31
September four Californians. You know that, like you know that,
54:37
like Caitlin running this like joke of a campaign, and
54:40
then Kanye is like whatever that was the birthday party thing.
54:44
Like Kim is sitting back and she's just like taking notes,
54:48
like she's she's like definitely going to be running in
54:52
the next like five years for something attorney general. These
54:56
are the guinea pig campaigns testing out the waters for
54:59
Kim kardadd She didn't right, She's like becomes like a
55:04
total autocrat. She's like, I've been studying the great mind
55:08
for decades and it's time for me to make my move.
55:11
I mean, that would be the one campaign that would
55:15
be frightened of that. I'm terrified because she's gonna have
55:18
Chris Jenner in her corner. So she's like, yeah, I know, Chris,
55:22
Chris Jenner's a mastermind. But before any of that happens,
55:25
we're going to see how the Donald Trump Jr. Scott
55:29
Disick ticket works. Out in the right exactly, Yes, bring
55:40
them together. Oh there was another thing I want to
55:43
mention during this like walk and talk tour of you know,
55:46
of trying to appears like a serious candidate who's trying
55:48
to address things like the on house population in the
55:50
in l A. She was like walking with like three
55:53
like homeless miss advocates who were like trying to explain
55:56
what's going on and what's needed, but they were also
55:59
like pretty hostile out with her. And even though this
56:02
is like an event maybe like I'm gonna be talking
56:03
with advocates, none of them were like, oh yeah, I'm not.
56:05
I would never endorse her, like you want to talk,
56:08
I'm telling her, I'm telling her as a candidate, like
56:10
what's needed. But like those people were there as to
56:13
be to endorse her at all. So the whole thing
56:15
was like a very bizarre press event. Yeah, this is
56:19
one of those unfortunate political situations where I think Californians
56:25
need to get out there and vote for the lesser
56:28
of two evils, because if you know, it's yeah, there's
56:31
gonna be a lot of Republicans who are voting, and
56:36
Californians just all need to go out and vote. No,
56:39
and then we'll hopefully do better at the next primary.
56:43
But yeah, because the other thing is generous behind in
56:45
the poll. Larry Elder is in front, the black conservative
56:48
radio host, so you can only imagine what kinds of
56:53
ideas for progress he might have or doesn't have. But yeah,
56:56
it's truly a fucked if you do and super fucked
56:59
if you don't kind of situation because, like I said
57:02
last time, if Diane finds sign were to go down,
57:05
the governor is the person who would pick the replacement,
57:08
the interim replacement as a senator, So if that were
57:12
to happen on their watch, you could now just see
57:14
the Senate math going real wacky all of a sudden,
57:17
And also a lot of the executive appointments they could
57:19
just replace. The policy stuff would be a lot harder
57:22
because of the veto proof majorities in the legislature, but
57:25
the other stuff, as it relates to executive appointments and
57:28
those other responsibilities could easily cause plenty of fucking just nonsense.
57:34
Find Stegn's pretty old too. Yeah, it turns out. It
57:38
turns out well, Kate as always such a pleasure having
57:42
you on Daily Zeitgeist. Oh, such a pleasure. I this
57:46

59:49
new modem. You set up? What's our WiFi network? He replies,
59:53
Frank's big fat, throbbing WiFi. Jesus Christ, why would you
59:57

1:00:55
T s A guy felt up my tips today. He
1:00:58
had to remain professional, but you could tell he was impressed.
1:01:02
And then here's part two. So apparently the t s
1:01:07
A just considers my boobs a potential deadly weapon now,
1:01:11
which is fair since everyone who sees them comes to death.
1:01:19
That's great. Great tweets. I also like to tweet from
