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.

01:24
is a fucking powerhouse of a show. Uh, the hilarious,
01:29
the talented, one of the very faces on Mountain sightmore
01:32
Lacy Mowgli's Oh I'm so happy to be here. I
01:39
think I haven't been here in a minute. Yes, to
01:44
be head good to be seen and not be viewed
01:46
as the old Lexie. What's new with you? Oh mysh,
01:57
what is new with me? I haven't. It's so funny
02:00
to me because people in Hollywood and celebrities and stuff
02:03
will be like, guys, we all need to be staying
02:06
at home, but then like we're all like fully back
02:09
at work. Um, so I've been shooting this entire time.
02:14
Now I get tested, Like, look, my nose is getting
02:16
tested like it's doing poor nose is getting tested every
02:19
day twice day. At this point, I don't even feel
02:23
anything in there anymore. It's just like, yeah, do it,
02:25
do it to me, and they're like, we already did it.
02:27
I'm like okay, Like I remember when I first started
02:29
getting them done, it was just like full, like never tt,
02:32
like they would squabble in my brain. Now I just
02:34
don't feel it anymore. Maybe I'm numb. So yeah, damn,
02:40
that's good that they're like they're testing you as much
02:42
as they need to. Though I'm always so scared that
02:44
like that, like sets that aren't doing it right. That's good. Yeah, No,
02:48
everyone's on a testing schedule, and then you work in
02:51
your one little bubble, you know, so you don't see
02:53
your talk to anybody else on set who's not in
02:56
that bubble. Why cool. Uh. Netflix just got for having
03:01
not great set safety. I think it was more in
03:04
the early days of the pandemic, but there are still
03:08
sets like that where they're just like, yeah, yeah, we tested, yeah, yeah,
03:12
Like I won't say that was the set, but there's
03:15
a set that's like Fully up and run. It's a
03:17
huge show. You would know it, and I know people
03:19
who work on it, and they told me that two
03:20
of the leads. Well okay, so one of the leads
03:23
is like they're like a married couple. I can't say
03:25
more than that because they don't get away and Paris
03:29
Emily and Paris the City the ants. They were like, hey,
03:34
I saw your Instagram and you were fully at a party.
03:38
And then someone else on the crew was like, yeah,
03:40
I saw that Instagram post too, and it made me
03:42
so upset. And then that person said to the second
03:45
person was like, what the funk man, he was just
03:47
in Vegas yesterday, don't talk about me. And then it
03:49
just started, like everyone starts snitching on each other. God,
03:56
what like you making out with the stage Applebee's on
03:59
to day? I mean who among us though? Right? Um?
04:06
Who could who could resist? Yeah, I mean there's so
04:09
many ways that, uh, this pandemic is not great at
04:15
coexisting with capitalism. Like said, I heard from one actor
04:20
that they went in for a test and it was
04:23
like short notice. They I think they were a replacement
04:26
for somebody else, and so they needed the test to
04:30
be negative, and so they like barely grazed the outside
04:33
of their nostrils too when they were testing them, because
04:36
they just oh my god, they's what Yeah, I guess
04:45
I don't know. Yeah, Like then your show is just
04:47
gonna get shut down for like two weeks. It's not
04:50
worth it. That's so it's I mean, there's there's no
04:52
good way to go through this stuff. I'm I'm curious
04:55
of what happened with the tom Cruise COVID bots on
04:58
the set of Mission Impossible. I'm like, did would end
05:00
up existing there were Oh it was because it was
05:05
when I was covering for you Jack there. So Tom
05:08
Cruise got really mad. He got he got really mad
05:12
that COVID protocol was not being covered and so instead
05:16
of like advocating for better standards on the set, he
05:21
bought robots to go around and spy on the cast
05:24
and crew to see if everyone was following social distancing guidelines.
05:28
He literally was like, I know what we'll do, big
05:31
brother COVID robots. But I haven't heard about them in
05:33
a while. I wonder how it's going. That sounds terrifying
05:37
around to watch people. He's like, no, no, no, we
05:39
will get robots. And they go go follow him into
05:41
the bathroom too, they following like ze news on wheels,
05:45
Like what the fuck it's it's so dark, But um
05:49
he did he he allegedly did get some COVID bots.
05:52
So I don't I wonder how it's going. I wonder
05:54
if they're friendly. Didn't he decided to take a step
05:58
back from filming or something like take a break because
06:01
he kept having like meltdowns on the set and like
06:04
they kept leaking that. He was like, maybe I need
06:07
to I think it's a dangerous direction. To take one's narcissism, uh,
06:13
to to be to like think you control every like
06:18
he it seems like both everyone around him and he
06:22
are convinced that he is like a god of some sort.
06:30
I can't believe that because when you see him, he
06:35
is he still up in a Scientology is still oh
06:40
for sure. Yeah, these are little bots. Just in the
06:43
a few times I've seen him speak, uh not guarded
06:47
the Scientology video where he's like talking about how he
06:51
can save anyone's life if he like drives by a
06:54
car accident and stops, he can save their life. And
06:57
then like when he was talking about the set being
07:00
like him basically whole propping up all of Hollywood on
07:04
his shoulders. It's like that's a lot of pressure he's
07:07
putting on himself via his uh, just wildly unhealthy narcissism. Um. Alright,
07:15
let's get to know you a little bit better in
07:18
a moment, Lacy. First, just a few of the things
07:20
we're talking about. COVID cases are starting to fall. Uh.
07:24
We will talk about that and the mysterious circumstances surrounding that.
07:29
How we I don't understand why they would be falling.
07:32
Now there there is kind of a weird detail, uh,
07:36
that I just found out about. We can touch on
07:37
briefly that weather is a big factor in whether in
07:42
how much COVID is spreading and a given location it's
07:46
like not really being reported on. I feel like because
07:50
people feel like it's out of your control, but it does.
07:53
I'm like glad to know it. Um, we'll talk about
07:57
Fox News. Sean Hannity is suffering from depression live on air,
08:02
so we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the Lincoln Project.
08:06
Turns out they were the bad guys. We will talk
08:09
about the stimulus package, Jeff Bezos. I got a couple
08:13
of things that said about this Bezos guy and the
08:17
Golden Globes. Of course, we will talk about them all
08:21
of that plenty more. But first, Lacy, we like to
08:24
ask our guest, what is something from your search history
08:27
that's revealing about who you are? Um? Something about my
08:30
search history that is revealing about me is I have
08:32
been doing a deep dive on Cynthia Rally and her fashions.
08:38
And the reason for that is because on the Bachelor
08:41
this season with the black Bachelor, who is like pretty
08:45
much white but but it's still brown. Um, a young republican,
08:50
Republican who loves God and never had a black dad.
08:55
Uh you know, uh as as black spy all the time.
08:58
Um So, Cynthia Riley's daughter Kit is on the show,
09:04
and she kept kind of being like, you know, my
09:07
mom is just like a fashion icon and you know,
09:09
I'm just in the public eye all the time. And
09:11
I was like, who was? I had of seeing you?
09:13
And then I google her. I was about to say,
09:15
should I know who this is? It's like there's I
09:17
didn't know they were during nepotism picks on Bachelor right, No,
09:21
she's she gives very much Blair Waldor from Gossip Girl,
09:24
Like it's like whatever scene she's involved in, I'm sure
09:27
the girls know who she is, but like I would
09:29
have never known. So I had to google her and
09:31
then I was like, what is she on this show?
09:33
She could go find her oil tacolon or something like
09:35
why's she trying to be with Matt his toobad reformant?
09:38
Like what's you doing? You could do better than this?
09:41
I don't know. I mean, you love is impooring, you know,
09:44
love first, but are you out on the season Based
09:48
on the student being kind of not not as cool
09:53
as initially advertised, or are you still in? No, I'm
09:56
still in. I am disappointed that I know ABC is
09:58
not gonna show his do rag. I want a fantasy
10:00
suite where he wake up and with the dow rag on,
10:03
with the cape in the bag, and I wanted blowing
10:05
in the wind. I wanted Fabio style. But I know
10:08
I'm not gonna give it. Um, but I'm still gonna
10:11
watch because I love mass It's true. This girl, this
10:16
is Blair Waldorf, is the perfect holy sh it. Yeah,
10:22
she's like a real Blair Waldorf fashion. Yeah she's she's
10:27
a generic, She's a Blair Waldorf light because you can
10:30
tell her hair is not actually blonde in the first place. Right.
10:33
I think she's just trying to get herself some some
10:35
recognition outside of her mom's shadow. So um, I go
10:39
on Arton Marn's podcast, will except this Rose a few times?
10:41
And they do. She does the research, so she said,
10:44
the girls tried many businesses and you know online influencing.
10:48
So I think now the Bachelor will give her the
10:49
boost that she needs. But it's still weird. She young,
10:52
she's only twenty one. She's a baby. That's the other thing.
10:55
It's like you're gonna get married. That's really like this,
11:01
yere's your past girl? What you talk about get married
11:03
to who? There's so many subgenres of influencer at this
11:10
point to that that it's like, yeah, I guess mommy
11:13
influencers is a whole category that there's all this drama.
11:16
I wouldn't even know, and like what do you do
11:18
when your mommy influencer? Your kids become less interesting because
11:21
no one cares about a teen No one's like this
11:23
is like this is one I cut up for my
11:25
fifteen year old son right before he cast me a
11:27
bit and says he hates me, like like where you're like,
11:35
you gotta have another. This is a blanket. It's covered
11:38
income because my children won't right, It's like this is
11:41
how to come out of sacks. I know that. I
11:49
know there's like a I mean, it's it's like totally
11:52
no disrespect to the to the mommy bloggers. It just
11:55
it seems like it's I don't know, anytime you're like
11:57
truly monetizing your life, it just feels like no matter
12:02
who you are, it just gets I feel like that
12:04
you hit a wall eventually. I don't know, because here's
12:06
the thing. I know it's some I don't know if
12:09
I'll ever be slanging shoot on Insta because to me,
12:11
it kind of gives like I need Instagram money and
12:14
I'm not making you know, real highywood money. But maybe
12:17
I'm don't. Don't don't put me, don't. I might be
12:19
slanging tea next week, so don't put don't put home
12:21
to that. I'm like, bitch, this team maybe lose weight,
12:25
my hair grow. I got that after I drank this tea.
12:31
So um. I don't know that might be me, but
12:34
I feel like you can do it in a way
12:35
where people feel like it's authentic, but you're really not
12:38
telling people a lot about your actual life. Um. But
12:41
at the time time, Jamie, I'm with you. It does
12:43
get weird at times, like especially when people like it's weird,
12:46
because I think people should be able to post happy
12:48
things and sad things, so that it's a balance of
12:50
like we're not getting a fake you know whatever, not
12:53
just post what you want to post. But I remember
12:56
Hilaria Baldwin, who I love so much, um, and that's
12:59
um if you don't know, that's Alec Baldwin's Hispanic wife.
13:05
But from doesn't remember what cucumbers are called. Um, she
13:14
posted when they lost one of their babies unfortunately they
13:19
were in the hospital, and she posted about it and
13:21
it was sponsored bad Nidia, and I was like, oh god,
13:25
oh god, I don't even know where to begin there.
13:32
That is. Yeah, it's like that just like comes down
13:34
to like the whole authenticity thing, where like there's a
13:36
demand to be authentic online, but then if you actually are,
13:40
then you're kind of putting yourself at risk for people
13:43
to take your actual, genuine like self and just relentlessly
13:49
dump on it. It becomes yeah, like what is authentic?
13:53
Like you're necessarily like viewing everything through a lens of
13:57
what is like how it's going to be perceived, even
14:00
buy your audience. I don't know like when when uh
14:04
I first like started working in content production is a
14:09
really fun way to uh No, but people were like,
14:12
you know, once you start doing the thing you love
14:15
and it becomes a paycheck, it's hard to like continue
14:18
to love it, Like you have to like work to
14:21
maintain your relationship to it. So it's not it doesn't
14:25
just turn into like a burden or like another thing
14:28
that you have to I don't know, struggle against and
14:33
like if that if that thing, instead of being like
14:36
your creative outlet, was your entire life, it feels like
14:40
that would be difficult. I would not be able to
14:43
do that. I would I would probably lose, I'd probably
14:47
start affecting a hispanic. Yeah. Yeah, it is like a
14:53
very personal thing where I don't know, Like, I don't
14:55
share as much online as I did a couple of
14:58
years ago because out no, you just have enough bad
15:01
experiences and then you're just like, Okay, we're gonna we're
15:04
going for an arm's length and that's fine. Yeah. I
15:06
still share like my day to day because I feel
15:09
like that makes people think that it's personal, because I'll
15:11
be like, oh i'm working out, Oh i'm here, if
15:13
something funny happens, if my car gets to stuff like that,
15:16
I'll share. But like the one time I share something
15:18
that's actually happening in my life, which is I have
15:20
really bad uter in fibroids, it was very sweet, like,
15:23
but it was just an overwhelming outpour of support, and
15:25
I was like, now I feel like I have to
15:26
respond to everyone. Oh God, what have I done? So?
15:31
And then all of a sudden, you're like the spokesperson
15:34
for that issue, and it just crazy it has happened
15:37
over the pandemic that I've just had to you know,
15:39
I'll call my friends and family, but I just keep
15:41
it to myself because it's like I just can't and
15:44
I guess that's weird for me to be, like, I
15:45
just can't stand how much people love me and are
15:47
so nice to me. I just it's a it's a
15:51
real like philosophical thing that I think an entire generation
15:56
is dealing with and like, but they turn on you too.
16:00
I've learned about the ecosystem of all of this stuff
16:03
is so interesting to me. Like there's people on Twitter
16:05
who don't have any followers, and if you go to
16:07
their page, you won't see a lot of tweets, but
16:09
if you go to their replies, that's where they're on
16:12
other people's tweets who do have followings, trying to get
16:15
legs and get followers, but then they don't have any
16:18
real tweets and no one ever follows them, so they don't.
16:20
It's just it's a like, you know, someone just by
16:22
eating their own tail, like a snake in its own tail.
16:24
But every now and then I get mean people and
16:27
that's interesting, Like another yesterday, not yesterday, but a few
16:30
days ago. There was a woman who wouldn't stop commenting
16:32
on my post and she was like, you look like
16:33
Direas in a Wig. And I thought that was funny. Um,
16:37
she was like what she said, I look like the
16:40
singer slash Fast and Furious actor Tyrese uh known as
16:44
Crys in a Wig. And she's like like a roach,
16:47
like she just kept coming back, So I had the blocker.
16:54
I am fascinated by mean people because I'm so conflict avoidant,
16:58
like inherently that I'm always just like God, something you're
17:03
you can get dragged, and if you get dragged, that's
17:05
also a badge of honor. It's like, look at this person,
17:07
they dragged me. Yeah, uh, what, Lacy is something you
17:13
think is underrated? Underrated? I don't think that we're talking
17:16
about this season of Search Party enough. Um. I just
17:21
finished it to be such an amazing exploration of whiteness
17:26
and privilege and and and just oh it's so good.
17:32
And then also just like where that comes from narcissism
17:36
and how deeply unhappy narcissists are, and like it just
17:40
it was great to me. There were so many amazing moments,
17:43
we had some some group kissing intimacy between friends. It
17:46
was just, oh my god. I loved it so much.
17:49
I know the ending people were kind of mad about,
17:51
but I loved it. I didn't have an issue with it.
17:54
I don't know. It was such a good ride to that.
17:56
I'm like that I can kind of end any which way,
17:59
and I would have been happy to have watched it.
18:00
Like it's yeah, that whole group is so fucking great.
18:04
What season are we on? Uh four? I think right,
18:09
I've only seen season one. I just got HBO or
18:13
just realized that I had HBO Max, so oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
18:21
yeah exactly. There's actually a g gieantic satellite dish behind Jack.
18:27
I just have to turn it to the eastern corner
18:30
of the sky and uh I can sometimes get HBO. Um.
18:36
But yeah, I'm really looking forward to that. I loved
18:38
season one and then uh I have not seen anything
18:41
since then. It's cool because like it's one of those
18:44
shows where it seems like each season is it's like
18:46
own story. It's not just like dragging out like season one.
18:51
That there's like a unique kind of like message and
18:53
like gen they play around with a different genre every season.
18:57
It's like it's great. Genre really is so funny. Um,
19:03
what is something you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm sorry
19:07
to gen Z, but that damn driver's license song? Good lord,
19:14
I can't I can't do. I'm so tired of the
19:19
avocado singing. I just gone my drover's license. But also
19:25
I'm like, maybe I get involved, you know, like it
19:28
seems like an easy ship. Um yeah yeah. And I
19:31
know she's got the Disney community behind her and stuff,
19:34
so I know that there's like, you know, the youth,
19:36
like they have plenty of time to stream the song
19:38
and blow it up. And I'm it's a it's a
19:40
fine song. But I was like, really number one in
19:42
the world, this this was this is what we live with,
19:45
Like it's I was just like, what is this? And
19:48
I have the same thing to say about avocado singers.
19:50
I have to say about R and B singers who
19:52
are doing that like sin yeah bad, what are you saying?
19:57
I want to sing along? I'm tired of it. I'm
20:00
tad having to just be like, wow, can I know
20:04
the words? Carry it? It's not a karaoke friendly singing
20:11
style because you're like, oh, I do need the words?
20:14
I really do need them, And then when you read
20:17
the words, you're like, wait, what that's what she said?
20:20
What right? We're all gonna be a car gill us up? Yeah,
20:26
yeah yeah, and I'm Rada. The whole album is like, like,
20:34
Aria the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, and I
20:37
don't ever know what she'd be talking about. I don't
20:39
know if we're talking about sex. I don't know if
20:40
we're talking about Honestly, Ariana could be organizing for anti fush.
20:45
But we're gonna meet on the street. We're gonna be
20:53
That's how they stormed the Capitol. Ariana single. Yeah, she
20:58
was sending messages through her vocals. She's like, all that
21:00
of the Congress will be in the riley. We won't
21:03
know that driver's license song. That was like one of
21:10
those things where I didn't think I had heard it,
21:12
but then I'm like, oh, I've heard that at seven
21:15
eleven every time I've been into seven eleven for a month,
21:18
I just didn't. It's a real seven eleven kind of song. Oh,
21:22
no disrespect, I mean it's like whatever, Like I because
21:24
that was the girl is from like the High School
21:27
musical TV series? Is that right? Right? High School musical,
21:31
the movie, the TV show or something doesn't have like
21:34
some meta title like that. Yeah, I'm feeling like an
21:37
absolute boom or not really knowing what it is like,
21:40
but I just like the this one seems acutely designed
21:46
to be only meaningful to people between like who who
21:51
aren't of legal drinking age yet, and like that seems
21:54
like it's kind of creating some of the some of
21:58
the popularity because then everybody else is talking about it,
22:01
and like that's actually what makes it, what makes pop
22:05
music cool, like old people hating it. So it's been
22:10
she was in that and then High School Musical, the musical,
22:13
the series. Yes, that's exactly what it's called. I think
22:16
there was one other show though, Yeah, but I don't know. Jack.
22:19
It's like it gives me, like remember that song. I
22:23
was like, it's not it with a whisper. We all
22:28
got tortured, so a huge seven eleven songs, we all
22:31
got tortured by that song. What was anybody ever like
22:34
this is abob Like, yeah, listen to the song punching
22:41
cram it down Life and I could not. I could
22:52
not whose song is that? Even who knows? Who know? Yeah? No,
22:58
nobody knows, Jamie. We've been trying to figure that out
23:00
for years and the scientific community is still baffled, unable
23:05
to figure it out. When I get the little emo
23:08
side of the kids wanting this avocado song and liking
23:11
to listen to it, it's fine. And she plays instruments.
23:14
I'm not trying to take anything away from her as
23:16
a musician. I was just like, I don't know, can
23:18
we sing with our voices again? No, we're not gonna say.
23:22
We're not gonna put the teas at the ends of what?
23:24
No is? What? No? Okay? Fair? Fair? What did you
23:33
just say? Maybe that is like a thing like every
23:36
general I feel like every generation has like a musical
23:39
style where they don't respect certain letters because it's like whatever,
23:43
Like early two thousands pop music, they didn't finish their
23:46
words either, where it's like, yeah, it's like more of
23:51
a vowel issue for that generation. Their vowels are all
23:56
over the place. All right, let's uh take a break
24:01
and we'll be back to talk about less important ship
24:14
and we're back. Uh, COVID cases are there. If you
24:20
look at the charts, the cases, the testing is still
24:26
holding pretty steady, dipping a little bit because people who
24:30
don't feel sick aren't going to get tested quite as much.
24:33
But still for the most part holding steady. Uh, and
24:36
positives are just falling off a cliff dropping. It's very
24:40
positive news. Uh. And weirdly, looking at this chart just
24:44
made me say, you dumb motherfucker's over and over again.
24:50
Uh because like, as much as I knew what the
24:55
Trump administration was doing was criminally negligent, it's kind of
24:59
just stark to see it so obviously, like that the
25:05
guy who is just doing the very bare minimum and
25:08
listening to science, and you know that that is causing
25:12
numbers to drop like a stone. It's actually that simple.
25:17
I don't know. The more distance we get from the
25:20
Trump administration, I feel like the angerer I'm gonna be. Unfortunately,
25:24
we're gonna make an annoying podcast, I know. But it's
25:29
just like the more perspective I get on it, the
25:31
more just yeah, I guess stark and infuriating it is. Yeah,
25:38
because it's like how much why do we let him
25:40
sunk up so much? Also, just like you know, Chris
25:43
Rock made that joke of like in no other profession
25:46
do you get to just funk up and they're just like,
25:47
but he got a four year contract, so we're just
25:49
gonna want to keep Like, if you're bad at your job,
25:53
it shouldn't I don't understand why the office of president
25:56
is like, look, you can be terrible at this as
25:59
long as you don't really break any laws clearly enough
26:03
that we could be like, you broke the law, like
26:05
that is that the that the bar is on the floor,
26:08
so you can just be so Donald Joun could have
26:10
just never showed up to be president all four years
26:11
and would have been like, yeah, he's still in office,
26:13
but he didn't, you know, he didn't bring no laws. Yeah,
26:17
jobs works any other job it is. I mean, it's like,
26:22
I'm really happy to see the cases are falling in
26:24
and I also see where you're coming from that, Like
26:26
it just kind of reminds you of how needless so
26:29
much loss was earlier on, because it was like we've
26:32
just started to do like intuitive stuff right now, and
26:37
it immediately had an effect. And sad for the families
26:40
who unfortunately didn't um they didn't benefit from, like you know,
26:44
the people who got COVID early on, and the families
26:46
who didn't benefit from all the things that we learned.
26:49
It's like they got practiced on, and those people sadly
26:52
are not with us anymore when they very well could
26:54
have been. So yeah, yeah, I mean so many people. Uh,
27:00
and yeah, I don't like there There's other things like
27:03
this article just came out on Axios. Uh. That is
27:07
just a depiction of a single meeting that happened in
27:10
December in the White House. Uh. That again is just
27:16
it's shocking to like view in retrospect and it's like, wow,
27:20
we were so close to uh, just complete chaos and
27:25
civil war like that. It's basically one side is Sydney
27:29
pal and Michael Flynn and all the kind of conspiracy
27:33
theorists arguing for him to you know basically like take
27:38
over and like declare martial law. And then like his
27:40
advisors like trying to like pointing out your legal argument
27:45
here is like rife with typos and doesn't make any sense. Um.
27:50
And but the meeting ended after like four hours of
27:54
them like shouting swears at each other. The meeting ends
27:58
with like his uh advisers saying, do what you want.
28:02
We've told you the truth. That's up to you who
28:04
to believe. And the fact that that wasn't that he
28:08
didn't then take that as a you know, opportunity to
28:12
just surf that all the way to the collapse of America.
28:16
Is what I feel lucky that, I don't know, it's
28:21
a it's kind of a miracle. We're not all living
28:23
through a civil war right now. Um. But yeah, like
28:27
we keep saying, it's not like we avoided an asteroid.
28:30
We had a brush with like cancer, you know, something
28:34
else somewhere in much greater danger of relapse or recurrence
28:38
than we would other otherwise be. So it's like there's
28:41
still a huge danger. Let's talk about Fox News. I
28:45
guess love what's going on over there. Haven't checked in
28:49
on them in a bit. What's going on with them? Yeah, yeah,
28:54
the same outfits, the same kind of aesthetic, but um,
29:00
they're kind of going through an unprecedented identity crisis, um
29:04
where they've been caught in an outright lie by themselves
29:08
and so like because the news division was like, no,
29:12
that's not true. And so now like Hannity is having
29:15
to admit that they lost the election, and he's like
29:21
blaming himself and being like, not enough people read my
29:24
book because I told you how dangerous this was gonna
29:26
be and like just seems legitimately like depressed, like he's
29:31
suffering from depression live on air. It's just like kind
29:34
of uh moping and uh yeah, it's just kind of
29:40
I don't know, it's kind of amazing to see. I
29:43
love the notion of not enough people read my book.
29:45
Like like his publisher was like, no one's reading the book, man,
29:48
no one's buying it. He literally said, I'm done with
29:52
books I wrote in the book. That's so funny that
29:56
he is saying this in this man was done with
29:58
books decades ago. Are you kidding me? He's done with
30:03
books in second grade? The book that he dictated. He
30:07
was expecting more people to read, enough people to win
30:10
Trump the election. Um, and I think you know their
30:14
ratings are falling, And I do think that beyond just
30:18
the election, like that this article in the Washington Post
30:22
talks about how you know their their ratings are following.
30:26
They seem to be like suffering from an identity crisis.
30:28
They're not really sure what to do without Trump and
30:32
beyond just like the election and them not really having
30:36
like a coherent narrative to rally behind on the election
30:40
because Trump kind of lad their opinion contributors as they
30:43
call them, basically the people who are famous that anybody watches,
30:48
like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. Like Trump led them
30:53
down a path that was somewhat unsustainable because it was like,
30:56
so you know, it was like the the thing Michael
30:59
Flynn was shouting for in that White House meeting, Like
31:02
it was just rife with typos and completely illogical. Um.
31:08
And so now they're like kind of coming back down,
31:14
and this article is like and now Rupert Murdoch faces
31:17
a stark choice between you know, whether to uh follow
31:22
Trump and like the Trump supporters or you know, the
31:26
traditional conservatives. And I really think it's not that I
31:32
don't think they're like trying to decide between the two.
31:35
I think they're just waiting to see what Trump does next,
31:38
and they're just going to like back him full hog,
31:43
because you know, the the choice like they always have known,
31:47
like what side their bread is buttered, and it's like
31:49
the racism, fascism, authoritarianism side, and their current choice. The
31:56
Washington Post is acting like, is a real choice is
31:59
between uh this like wildly popular fascist movement and a
32:05
boring traditional like conservative movement. I don't. I don't feel
32:10
like they're going to side with like Mitch McConnell and
32:12
Ben sass On that. I think they're just waiting to
32:15
see what Trump's posture is going to be, probably either
32:19
give him a massive platform or uh, you know, just
32:24
back it. Uh it's tough to say, but it is
32:27
going to be very bad. I don't. I don't think
32:30
it's headed towards the direction where Fox News comes back
32:34
to earth and it's like we're sorry, no, because it's
32:37
like the second they started to back off of like
32:40
Trump at the peak of Trump breaking a law, every
32:44
second of the day, they lost money and they lost
32:47
like faith. It's it's so it's it's very bleak to
32:51
watch that unfold and then be like, well, we we
32:53
better go back to extremism because that's what you know,
32:56
that's what pay the bills. Yeah, yeah, and it works,
33:02
Like I mean, they've already fired two of the guys
33:06
who were involved with calling Arizona for Biden, and like
33:12
they contrasted that, they were like, it wasn't just because
33:17
we're mean too, daddy, it was also because when they
33:21
were on the air on election night, the ratings dipped
33:25
and they can contrasted that with Dan Bongino, who like
33:29
caused ratings to go through the roof, and that dude
33:32
is like, A that's a I had never heard that
33:35
name before. But what if what you know, Dan Bongino
33:41
about to have the house roland? Okay, I mean, that's
33:45
the sacrifice you make when you because they did the
33:47
exact same thing that Trump did, which was instead of
33:50
telling the news, they leaned into this new base and
33:53
just trying to give them what they wanted instead of
33:56
being a news outlet. So how do you go back
33:58
to being a news isolet after that? You kind of
34:00
and so now they're just gonna become weird fringe news,
34:04
which is kind of sad because Fox used to think
34:06
it was never respectable news. But you know, he was
34:09
those news happening over there. I would check in every
34:11
now and then when Barack Obama one office, I checked
34:15
Fox News to make sure it was real, because I
34:17
knew those haters wouldn't wouldn't say that if it wasn't true.
34:20
And they said John McCain lost, and I said, okay,
34:22
but now they couldn't bring themselves to say Obama one.
34:26
But they're like, yeah, it looks like mccainn lost time. Yes,
34:30
I don't know what the other guy is, but they won.
34:34
But Obama swore in on the Koran, so it wasn't
34:37
He was never my president, I'll tell you that much.
34:41
That is an actual thing that the Q and on
34:46
representative beliefs. Oh, I mean that one of the founders
34:52
of the Lincoln Project was revealed to be like a
34:54
sexual predator. Um, that's not shocking, grooming and slip sitting
35:00
twenty one young men, often with promises of political careers. Uh,
35:07
he's like a long time Republican strategist. Was on the
35:11
McCain campaign in two thousand eight. Speaking of uh. And
35:15
also John, one of one of the boring GOP John
35:19
guys from Ohio. What's that guy's name? Oh, I don't know.
35:25
One of them was like, I'm gonna ask me to
35:28
tell one John from another John John Kasik, he was
35:32
involved with his campaign. And then Uh, he was like
35:36
one of the handful of co founders of the Lincoln Project.
35:40
And there's four Johns in this story alone. John McCain,
35:49
I'm like, I don't know, Yeah, my name is John too.
35:54
But the way there, I had had the good sense
35:58
to chance to literally change. This is very this is
36:01
extremely I'm I'm glad that you know he's been called out.
36:07
This is so fucking miserable. And the fact that it
36:11
takes you know, twenty one cases. I feel like we've
36:13
seen multiple examples of this recently and like, um, you
36:17
know kind of like predatory people um being called out.
36:21
It's like it's always like over ten people that need
36:25
to come forward before anyone takes it seriously, It's like
36:28
twenty one. What the funk? That is so bleak because
36:32
that means that somebody knew. One people knew. That's like
36:35
Joe paternal people knew absolutely yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean
36:42
somebody who's been like they've been working together for like years,
36:45
like decades, and he wasn't like hiding it right like
36:50
he the one people are like, yeah no he would.
36:55
Uh Well, first of all, one of them is a
36:57
fourteen year old who he was asking quite about his
37:00
body while he was still in high school, and then
37:02
more pointed ones after he turned eighteen. Uh. And then
37:07
there are texting. Basically, he made it seem like this
37:11
is a professional opportunity for you. In one text exchange,
37:15
he told one man he would spoil you when we
37:17
see each other help you other times give advice, counsel,
37:22
help with bills, you help me sensually, uh, which just
37:26
the worst. Also like cansentraally creepy. Like he's also no, yeah,
37:33
obviously all the stuff that he's doing is illegal, gross
37:36
and creepy, but even the way he texts it is
37:38
just like he's like a man in the shadows, like
37:40
you want some candy, like the Creepi's kind of betal,
37:44
Like what yeah, these kinds of stories too, It's like
37:48
these are the kinds of stories that like specifically set
37:51
like Q and On types on fire because it's like, oh,
37:56
you know, they don't agree with the Lincoln Project, FUNK
38:00
barely agree with the liking but like you know, like
38:02
they yeah, it's like it's trash, I don't, you know whatever.
38:05
I won't even say that too much there, but like
38:08
whenever I feel like it kind of I don't know,
38:11
I talked about it a lot in Lolita podcast, so
38:14
it's like fresh on my mind. But the like whenever, um,
38:18
whenever someone who isn't directly like aligned with Q and
38:22
On you know, is exposed as kind of a predator
38:25
that reinforces this false ideology that like everyone we don't
38:28
like is a child sexual predator, when like the reality
38:32
is that predators like that are in every corner. Like
38:35
it's not a political leaning that, like, it's just like
38:40
they're in your family. Like, come on, we all have
38:43
that one uncle that your mom was like, don't sit
38:45
on his lap, but like you can't stay over his
38:48
stop acting like but you know what, it is weirdly
38:51
embarrassing to me now to like when the whole Army
38:53
Hammered text started to come out, I was like, oh god,
38:56
another Hollywood creep. Wow, now we all look bad, Like
39:01
I feel like weirdly ashamed when they come out Now,
39:04
I'm like, why would you do this to us? Right,
39:08
It's it's just fucking miserable. It's like it I don't know.
39:14
I'm glad that it got it got put out, but
39:17
it's like the fact that they had to get to
39:18
twenty one that the people that this happened to, that
39:21
means that it was always whispered about. That means that
39:23
they probably you know him, he's got a thing for whatever,
39:25
And it's like that's not a thing, that's a crime.
39:27
Why are we not? No one's gonna call anybody, right, right, Um,
39:32
all right, let's take another break and we will be
39:35
back to talk about Bezos big news in the world
39:39
of Bezos. You guys, Yeah, I love Danny Bezos. And
39:53
we're back, and the world is like reacting to the
39:59
fact at Jeff Bezos is stepping down as Amazon CEO
40:03
to become vice chair, which is another position that allows
40:11
him to do the same thing he's been doing. Like
40:14
I I really need someone to explain to me. I've
40:18
read the articles about this and I cannot figure out
40:21
why anyone should give a ship about this at all.
40:25
But people, it's just it just seems like an opportunity
40:28
for the mainstream media to write articles that reinforce the
40:33
sort of pro billionaire propaganda. Like it's all like he
40:37
started Amazon in a garage in Washington State, Uh, you know,
40:43
a mere twenty years ago. And it's like, well, he
40:46
was also a Wall Street guy who then did that,
40:49
Like he rented out a garage, probably for a lot
40:52
of money, and like outfit did it with an orange
40:55
couch because he heard that's what you're supposed to do
40:57
it startups and like, uh, he's what people don't think
41:01
of garage like that, Like when they when he Whenever
41:05
I hear that narrative spun, it's always he started it
41:08
in his garage, so people are thinking like a two
41:11
car garage, and like he was like Amazon dot Com,
41:17
like it was a sucking Nirvana or something like yeah, um,
41:25
I don't know. It just ties into the overall myth
41:28
of American capitalism that there's like these individual great man
41:33
accomplishments and not that this is the inevitable consequence of
41:39
a system that doesn't defend against monopoly and like one
41:43
person is going to get that successful, and like it's
41:48
funny even this Wall Street Journal article. Uh, Like it's
41:53
like with a day one philosophy of always maintaining an
41:56
underdog startup ethos. However, in recent years Mr mr Bezos
42:01
has stepped back from day to day management. He doesn't
42:04
set schedule meetings before ten am and makes all his
42:07
tough decisions before five pm. Employees say the billionaire is elusive.
42:12
That's how they describe it, with many saying they have
42:15
never spotted him on the company sprawling downtown Seattle campus,
42:18
so he doesn't show up to work or works like
42:21
you know, between ten and five, which are things that
42:25
would cause somebody to get immediately fired from an Amazon
42:30
warehouse job. Well, also, he could fucking solve world hunger today,
42:34
Like I just the like discussing the like ins and
42:38
outs of his day to day I feel like it's
42:40
just like glorifying some like you know inoccuus, like who
42:45
gives a ship what he does? At what time? He
42:48
could he could solve world to hunger. He could help people,
42:51
but he is not. He fucking destroyed Seattle, and he's
42:55
like just I don't know, I just and and the
42:58
way that these stories are framed, uh of like the
43:02
whatever the like he's just a startup guy who like
43:05
worked really hard and hustled his way to the top.
43:08
And it's it just like implies that he has somehow
43:11
earned all of this when it's like, we know that
43:14
that's not true. It's just appointing people and that he's
43:18
killing and he's responsible for many deaths that they cover
43:22
up all the time. The Amazon warehouses are an ocean nightmare,
43:26
like and they just hide it. They don't make reports.
43:28
There's been so much as you just one quick google
43:31
away you can find out. And and that's why I
43:33
hated when all that negative press came out about Amazon
43:36
during the pandemic um they made all these weird commercials
43:41
where they basically like holding people at gunpoint, Like, I
43:44
love Amazon. They treat me so good here, Jeff Bezos
43:49
is like a father to me, Like what is happening?
43:52
Those were so weird and also and everywhere everywhere, And
43:57
if we haven't learned anything from the game, stop thing
44:00
is that the game is fucking rigged. Look at what
44:02
happened when all the little, everyday average Joe people got
44:05
their hands on some stocks that was being shortened. All
44:07
of a sudden, your app doesn't work and you can't
44:10
trade at all because it was never built for you
44:12
to be a millionaire. You're not gonna be able to
44:15
work hard or make trades and be a millionaire because
44:18
there's already millionaires and billionaires who are going to make
44:21
sure you cannot get to that level because that's how
44:23
they stay rich. So I'm like, I'm still praying for
44:26
game stock. They and my prayers like they on the
44:28
sick of shet and I'm like, please, please y'all hold
44:30
the line though, sell them stocks so that we can
44:33
just I want to ruin all the hedge funds I
44:36
know we're gonna end up paying for it in our
44:37
tax dollars, But I just want to see it happen.
44:41
I feel like that one's already been is already being
44:44
sunset to like this is what happens when you go
44:48
against the big guy and like being covered as like
44:51
the game stop thing was folly. But it's like, but
44:54
also keep hustling, everybody, this could be you, and it's like, no, no,
44:58
it couldn't. It's been made a exceedingly clear that it
45:01
fucking couldn't be. I think we all need to just
45:03
like look at that and realize, like that is the
45:05
perfect example of like, you cannot be a billionaire because
45:08
billionaires will not let you right right. The the thing
45:13
of specifically trying to reinforce the underdog myth um, which
45:18
is is the main motif that gets reasserted over and
45:22
over again in these articles about him retiring. Um really
45:26
like it really seems like it's uh the war department
45:30
thing again. Like I taught for shorthand, I I talked
45:34
about how the US military changed it's uh name from
45:40
War Department to Department of Defense once they started waging
45:44
offensive wars, because you like do that, you change the
45:48
name to be the opposite of the truth so that
45:51
you can like kind of cover up for it. And
45:53
like with trying to portray billionaires is underdog stories like
45:58
the when people look at how billionaires make their fortune,
46:03
it's always the opposite of that. It's always they find
46:06
an advantage over someone who's smaller or has less you know,
46:10
resources than them, and just exploit the ship out of
46:14
that until they are they have billions of dollars. That's
46:17
the only way to become a billionaire is by being
46:19
a predatory capitalist who praise on less powerful you know,
46:25
dynamics basically um. But because we don't like the idea
46:30
that that is the secret to capitalism, we tell ourselves
46:34
over and over again and pay the Wall Street Journal
46:38
to tell us over and over again that it's all
46:40
Disney movies where the underdog came up. It's yeah, it's
46:46
it's just like, I don't know, and it's it's weird
46:50
because I feel like it's kind of unspoken that most
46:52
people recognize that it is like a false narrative, but
46:55
it hasn't stopped it from being pushed over and over
46:59
and over. Yeah, I think it's I do wonder if
47:03
we're like moving in that direction, but it does seem
47:06
like it's you know, you you wouldn't know it from
47:11
reading like the mainstream accounts of Jeff Bezos and way
47:15
that it's also it's like a question of like, well,
47:17
how many of these papers does Jeff Bezos own? You know,
47:21
it goes all the way to the top there. And
47:25
this got me thinking about the billionaire space race again,
47:33
which is like it really cuts to the core of
47:36
the like question around capitalism for me, because like you know,
47:42
Mark's predicted almost two d years ago, capitalism keeps moving
47:46
out and out and consuming and exploiting resources, and I
47:51
was like, just as a personal philosophy, was like hopeful
47:53
at a certain point that that wasn't necessarily going to
47:57
be true. There's this guy Norman Borlog like figured out
48:02
farming and agriculture methods that ended up saving billions of lives.
48:07
People think and like that's you know, innovation through capitalism
48:10
that saved billions of lives. So maybe like there's ways
48:14
that capitalism will help us. That they're just smarter and
48:17
more capable and better than you, and that they have
48:20
the answers to all the world's problems. When it's like yeah,
48:23
like you were saying earlier, Jamie, like Bezos could have
48:26
ended world hunger in the day and he's not. So
48:29
if he's such a genius, why are people still starving
48:31
and dying? But these people are trying to get trying
48:33
to do the Doug Ee on the moon? What why?
48:36
And it's weird also because there's a thing about genius
48:41
that spills over and we've all widely accepted this in
48:44
America where it's like, oh, well, Kanye West is a
48:47
musical genius, so that means he's a genius in every
48:50
other right. Elon Musk is great with you know, technology,
48:53
so I would definitely let him operate on my heart.
48:55
Like why can't we understand that there's different fields and
48:59
there's like no one is just overall the smartest at
49:03
everything that does not exist. We all have specific talents.
49:07
So it's like why is that not equate when you
49:09
get up into the upper echelon of money like that
49:12
there's like no, no, no, they don't how to do everything,
49:14
Like no, they know space because they send packages. And
49:19
also like equating it with like kind of inherent empathy
49:22
that just like is so demonstrably untrue empathy. You need
49:28
their right right, they don't give you any This is
49:34
like this is sort of I like, I really enjoy
49:37
like space media. I like learning about space. I think
49:40
it's really interesting. And these billionaires are fucking up space space.
49:47
I guess now I can't even I'm like, I can't
49:49
believe you guys took space from me, Like what space is?
49:53
Like fun there? Why? But now I'm like, oh, it
49:57
is just a gigantic void. It makes sense that they
49:59
want to go. It's like, I mean, there's this article,
50:04
uh in the Independent where they interview they were like,
50:06
why do these three billionaires want to go to space?
50:08
And they just like take them all at their words.
50:12
They take them all at their word that they were
50:15
inspired by the moon landing. Um. But there's a quote
50:18
from Jeff Bezos where he literally says, we humans have
50:22
to go to space if we're going to continue to
50:24
have a thriving civilization. We're in the process of destroying
50:27
our planet. Uh yeah you are. I was like, by
50:34
we do you mean you and your friends, like Babel said,
50:37
I'm gonna run through this planet, so I gotta find
50:40
my next one. Bro. We've sent robot approach to every
50:45
planet in the Solar system. This is the good one.
50:48
We have to preserve this planet. We can do that
50:51
using the resources of space. So he's basically saying like,
50:55
we're just gonna go to space and get like all
50:57
the I don't know, an oxygen we need or something,
51:02
and that that's like the fact that they didn't just
51:05
like focus in on that first part where he's like, yeah,
51:08
we have to go to space. We're destroying the planet
51:10
and me and my rich friends are gonna go to space?
51:13
What do you think, idiot like? And instead we're like, oh, yeah,
51:16
he's gonna help everybody. When he goes to space dinner parties,
51:21
Jeff Bezos is like, look, I'm sick in time. These
51:23
people dying on the job. If I give me some
51:25
aliens doing these routes, no one can tell me I
51:31
can't abuse aliens. We don't got a lass for that.
51:35
There's a New York Times article recently about how they
51:38
are Jeff Bezos n Elon Musk, who are the two
51:42
richest human beings on Earth other than Vladimir Putin um
51:47
who are like fighting with each other because of like
51:51
space laws, and like one of them is trying to
51:54
bring their satellites into lower orbit and the other one's
51:58
fighting him and it's just like such a a dick
52:00
measuring contest. In this New York Times articles like pointing
52:03
out that they could be working together to give literally
52:07
everyone on the planet internet, which is a necessity, a
52:12
thing that we need and that needs to happen, like
52:15
soon give all civilizations on the planet, like access to
52:20
the same information technology that is increasingly running the world.
52:26
But instead they're just like focused on you know, it's capitalism.
52:29
Is that they're finding selfishness. Yeah, for the whole pandemic.
52:35
There's I mean there's been stories forever about like kids
52:37
that have to like go hang outside a taco bell
52:39
in order to attend there like zoom classes like and
52:43
there's just no I don't know, and it's fucking pennies
52:46
to someone like Elon Mosk or Deaf Basos. It's I
52:50
don't know. Everyone knows this ship and and um, but
52:54
they're going to space and there's nothing we can do
52:56
about it. So yeah, I don't know. If you guys
52:59
can hear my children fighting in the background. Uh yeah,
53:10
they do all every morning with nerf guns. But the
53:14
winner gets a hook from daddy. Uh. Shall we talk
53:20
about Golden Globe. I'm trying to figure out if they're
53:24
especially bad this year. I've always had a tough time
53:28
taking the Golden Globe, seriously, since Johnny Depp won that
53:33
Golden Globe for The Tourist. That movie with that, everybody
53:39
forgot the second hit theaters because it was like nobody
53:43
thought it was good. I don't know, the selection seems
53:47
especially bad in terms of this, but not that evaluation.
53:53
I feel like this year is only different because we
53:56
all have the opportunity, well a lot of us. There
53:58
were a lot of people who were essential workers and
54:00
shout out to y'all, thank you, um who didn't have
54:02
the opportunity to sit on their couch and be at
54:05
home for hours on end, tortured and nothing but television
54:09
to relieve the pain. So so I've seen a lot
54:14
of these TV shows, I've seen a lot of these movies,
54:17
and I feel like that is probably a lot of
54:19
people's experience as well. It's like this time around, we
54:22
actually know what Emily in Paris is because we all
54:25
watched it on Netflix in one sitting. Um, we know
54:28
what the flight attendant is. So I think that's the
54:30
only difference is Normally there's stuff, a lot of stuff
54:32
that I hadn't seen, and so I'm like, Okay, I
54:35
guess I've recognized that person. But this time around, I'm like,
54:37
white a minute, Yeah, yeah, I guess this is like
54:43
the highest concentration probably of like I've seen more of
54:48
this stuff than I haven't, which is definitely not how
54:51
it usually goes. Yeah, I watched the Grade, I watched
54:54
the Flight Attendant, I watched Ship's Creek. Obviously, Emily in
54:58
Paris the Crown killing Eve should saw that. And I
55:01
feel like Sarah Paulson getting a nomination for Ratchet is
55:04
just like them being like Bryan Murphy, we love you
55:06
boo like that. So same the same with the prom.
55:09
I mean, I enjoyed the prom, but like the stuff
55:11
we got nominated them s James Cordon got nominated for
55:17
the prom, which is why was the first of all,
55:18
Like a lot of people were criticizing this performance for
55:21
being like low key homophobic in the first place, but
55:24
there was like a lot of like bullshit performances that
55:26
were nominated over I don't know, like I may destroy you,
55:29
I'm pretty sure got completely snubbed. Like there's just amazing
55:32
shows that got nothing, Search Party got nothing. You're just like, well, no,
55:38
that's the but that don't know. And the thing is
55:40
is like I've been seeing a lot of black people
55:41
and artists and people in the entertainment producers that I
55:44
follow just being like, look, you know, white people hate us. Whatever,
55:48
We're moving on, like we're not going to do this
55:49
outrage thing again of like how you guys hate our
55:52
shows and our guts. Like whatever you love us, you
55:53
also hate us. What are we gonna do? Uh, don't
55:55
give us a words? Whatever we make it cool? Boo
55:57
on you. So like we're not gonna do the represents
56:00
like we're not. I feel like all the black people
56:02
aren't doing the rig roll this Black History Month. We're
56:04
like it's fine, y'all stupid, we don't care. But I
56:07
have to say, James Cordon, that should have First of all,
56:09
it should have been Tightest Bergus in that role. Yes,
56:13
we all and we all know it. And then it's
56:16
like James that was out of everybody in that movie,
56:21
was not a good performance. He was given the word.
56:25
He gave the girls nothing was he gave them nothing,
56:29
And I'm pretty sure none of the girls got nominated.
56:31
It was just like Ryan Murphy and James Cordon, which
56:34
I'm just like, oh god, this I don't know. I'm
56:36
curious on what. I know that Miles has a plug
56:40
at the Golden Gloves, but I just I don't know.
56:43
There is like a part of me that's like, oh,
56:44
it does feel like the Internet has reached stasis again
56:47
when we're arguing about ship like this, and I do
56:50
like that. Yeah, the Golden Globes though, is giving vm as.
56:54
It's giving MTV vm A. It's like we gotta have
56:57
all the famous girls. They're still people will watch the show.
57:00
It's not giving like they actually watched anything. They were
57:04
like who's popular the air Clapton s okay, um, who else?
57:11
There's some like there are something that I was like,
57:12
oh that's fun. Like there I don't know, the Aeron Sarkin.
57:15
I just am like a general Aaron Sarkin hater. So
57:18
any I'm just like, okay, we're still we're still doing
57:21
that interesting promising young woman got some stuff. I really
57:25
liked that movie, Like, I don't know, there's good there's
57:28
good ship, and there's some very clear snubs. And then
57:31
there's James Cordon in the Problem, which you're just like,
57:34
come on, I feel mad for anybody who's in the
57:37
Best Performance by an Actor Drama category this year because
57:41
Chadwick Boseman is in there posthumously and you just know
57:44
they're going to give it to him. So it's just like,
57:46
if you're nominating that category, just gonna stay home because
57:49
you're not gonna get They're gonna make a whole moment
57:51
out of it. I mean, you're not gonna get dad.
57:55
Don't even log into the zoom, don't bother. Uh yeah,
57:59
I don't. I don't know. I haven't I haven't looked
58:02
through the entire list in detail, but it just seems
58:05
like kind of a like a just a hodgepodge of ship.
58:08
But I guess it's like I have seen more of
58:11
this stuff than I normally would, which is why I'm like,
58:13
normally I wouldn't be like Ratchet really, but now I
58:17
know because I watched that show and I uh had
58:20
no fun watch I watched that was I have not
58:22
heard a single positive thing about that show until people
58:25
really didn't like it was like problematic, but it was
58:29
beautifully shot, but it was like, what are we doing here?
58:32
Everyone is confusion? But Netflix told me to watch it.
58:35
They liked him. When I was like, Okay, what's the
58:37
next thing Netflix? I'm watching as before I knew it,
58:43
the Undoing. The Undoing got a ton of ship and
58:46
I don't know that's I had fund so frustrated. You
58:50
didn't get I didn't get on. I didn't. I was
58:58
there the whole time, and then the ending, I my
59:01
I literally made a charcuterie board for the last night
59:04
of the Undoing and I've left disappointed. Oh no, I'm
59:08
because I mean they I'm not going to spoil it
59:10
if you haven't seen it, but I think Hugh Grant
59:13
played that role, and I think he does deserve a nomination.
59:17
He was so like all it was was he was
59:19
so good at being himself, like he was so good
59:21
at being charming in British and he were just like,
59:24
yes you and then you know, I'm not gonna spoil it,
59:27
but he did a good job. And then I feel
59:30
like Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman's jackets were at the
59:33
highlights for me. They were she can wear a jacket? Um, Yeah,
59:39
there's so many HBO stuff I haven't seen yet. I
59:42
may destroy you is getting a lot of a lot
59:45
of attention as like, how the funk did you leave
59:47
this off? Well, Emily in Paris was in there, They're crazy,
59:52
Like that's absolutely unless unless MICHAELA. Cole didn't submit it.
59:55
Like that show changed. Like I had girlfriends calling me
1:00:00
and who were like, oh, I didn't know I was
1:00:02
assaulted because they were stealth and didn't know what that was,
1:00:06
and like it was just so powerful and then still
1:00:10
somehow light, like I could still watch it because you know,
1:00:13
sometimes the euphoria gets bleak for me at times where
1:00:15
I'm like, oh, the baby's is doing Heroin again. I
1:00:17
got turned this out. So yeah, that's a huge snub,
1:00:22
especially with Emily in Pearis. But like I said, the
1:00:25
glowing globes, we all know Golden Globes, don't. They're not
1:00:28
the Emmys, they're the v m As. So they got
1:00:31
to get the celebs there. They got to get the
1:00:34
celebs on the Zoom call. I'm also like, why not
1:00:36
just like nominate people that like actually gave the best
1:00:39
performances this year. If you can't even have a ceremony,
1:00:42
like come on, they want you to watch And also
1:00:44
if you're gonna be they want you to watch the
1:00:46
zoom Really bad if you're gonna be the fun Awards show,
1:00:50
Like do something fun with the categories, like have the best,
1:00:55
like best last episode best, I don't know, don't just
1:00:59
do the scurs but over again. Like somebody was pointing
1:01:03
out that it's still so strange that they divide acting
1:01:08
by between actors and actresses, Like why is that so
1:01:14
they can have more categories? But what annoys me still
1:01:17
is why is does drama always get its own special thing?
1:01:21
And then comedy, which is arguably harder. Um is literally
1:01:25
like it's a comedy musical, Um that one YouTube video? Um,
1:01:30
Like they put everything in one category. Why we got
1:01:36
to complete everybody else anything else that happened on TV right,
1:01:42
musical is very strange that they're lumped together. I really
1:01:46
hope that Maria Bakalova gets the award in her category though,
1:01:50
because I loved her so much and she was so
1:01:52
she was so good. I don't know how they did that.
1:01:55
Sasha Baron Cohen was amazing and that that was very great. Yeah,
1:01:59
that is kind of cool that they nominated Borat for
1:02:03
a couple of awards. Probably not a sign of things
1:02:07
to come in the Academy Awards. Sasha Baron Collins up
1:02:10
for the Trial of Chicago Seven, though not Bora and
1:02:14
also Borat. I believe he's he's nominated for both. He's
1:02:20
nominated in IT drama and okay, I agree with Bora,
1:02:23
but I was I was telling you guys off. My
1:02:26
dad called me livid about his Boston accent and Trial
1:02:29
of the Chicago Seven, but like, best of luck to him.
1:02:32
Hopefully not a lot of Academy voters are from Boston. Well,
1:02:37
Lacy and Jamie, it's been so wonderful having you both
1:02:40
on today. Where can people find you and follow you?
1:02:45
