Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of All
the Zeitgeis Ladies. Put your trends up. That one courtesy
of Sparkles in reference to Uh, I guess you referenced
all the single Ladies in a recent episode.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh yeah, wait, what the fuck are we talking about?
No idea, no, oh clue, Sorry, y'all, it's a it's
a NonStop hose of drivel coming out of his brain.
So I can't. I can't roll the tape back, but
I do remember we started singing it. M m oh,
it was gonna were talking about Usha Vance.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's right, it is baby, all the second ladies, all
the second ladies.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Bucks could do the cognitive test like, I'd like to.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
See you remember what you said yesterday? No chance anybody
could remember what they said yesterday. All right, Miles, this
is the episode where we tell you what is trending
on this Wednesday afternoon. Uh, Matthew Perry's ketamine doctor is
being sentenced today.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yep, yep, And look we've this isn't really that big
much of a story. Obviously, the passing we talked about,
I think I was twenty twenty three Jesus two years.
But the sentencing is happening today. The thing that caught
my eye is that, and I guess maybe people already
know this if you're a big Matthew Perry fan. But
his family members submitted impact statements for the judge to
consider for sentencing. And I just read that Keith Morrison
(01:22):
from Dateline NBC has been Matthew Perry's stepdad since nineteen
eighty one. Oh no, do you watch? Are do you
fuck with? Dateline?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm only familiar with the Bill Hayter impression of Keith Morrison, okay,
which is one of my favorite impressions that he does.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And so you are aware that Keith Morrison is iconic
in that sense that he wants.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
He's the guy who interviews people about horrifying things and goes.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Charities Oh no, strict, And there's like Instagram pages called
Keith leans on Things because whenever he goes like openings
on Dateline, he's always leaned up on some shit like yeah,
it was a cold octobe over mourning and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Could never work as an undercover CIA agent because that's
how they tell that. That's a fact on the Internet
that I don't know if it's true or not, but
that the KG Beach hel for like an undercover American
was they would be leaning on some shit because Americans
they're just always leaning. Yeah, just all that counter fucking
(02:22):
bone tired.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, cowboys, that's why. But anyway, I'm a huge dateline head,
so that fucking really spun my head. And if you
are also and you didn't know, yes, Keith Morrison has
been Matthew Perry's stepdaddy since nineteen eighty one. Also, oh,
kind of significant in Canadian politics too.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
She was Pierre Trudeau's press secretary NEPO baby.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yep, yep, exactly. Oh so that's weird dateline NBC friend
on NBC.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, see, I'm dragging a dead man. Was a fucking.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And it's not true of any other industry. There's no
other industry where people just go into it because they
have familial connections. Anyways, big news story from the past
from yesterday, I believe was that Donald Trump had his
uh the Fox News was treating it like this was
a thing. There they were like night habinet meeting of
(03:23):
his second administration, and this is the These are the
meetings where he has everybody from his cabinet come in
and be like, mister Trump. Without you, we wouldn't be
able to live, sir. The air in my lungs, Sir,
I've noticed that the air breathes easier under you, sir.
Everything just smells better. And they have to like be
(03:47):
real enthusiastic. It's almost like watching like a like people
try and pitch people, you know, like or like a
speed dating thing. We've got like three minutes to make
an impression and like get up there and tap, dance
and juggle.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You got to get it in. You gotta get your
balls right.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's what they're juggling. Miles look at them.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But yeah, another hooray for Daddy meeting that they box
was like, this is a capt He's getting everybody together
for serious shit. But it's just a big fucking you know,
the propaganda bullshit thing. I touched on gnomes claim yesterday
about how he saved hundreds of millions of lives, hundreds
of millions of lives. I just want to play the
(04:31):
clips again so you can just hear, just get an
idea of what was being said.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Cut the fedanyl flow over the southern border by over
fifty six percent, You've saved hundreds of millions of lives
with the cocaine.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You've blown up. Yeah yeah, switch, So that just that
we were just to like build some basic assumptions into
that figure. That is, most of America was going to
die of a cocaine overdose in the past few months
according to that, Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I mean just look us cocaine deaths by year.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Um, Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Maybe we're looking at around thirty thousand overdose deaths in
twenty twenty three, So that was.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Gonna spike a little bit. We're gonna see an uptick. Okay,
let's fucking one.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Hundred x that really quick. We need more cocaine overdoses.
And then like a lot of people are like, fucking again,
Venezuela is not even like a fucking source country for
this shit cocaine. Yeah, fine, because you got to cover
up your fucking I mean, I'm so glad he, mister president,
you blew up all those fishermen cocaine in the Caribbean.
Thank you so much. Then she really made him feel
(05:42):
like a deified murkin when she jokingly said he's let
me just this is just another one, like hm hm,
shows how low morale must be because they're all like, dude,
you're doing so good. Dude, you're doing so great right now,
Oh my god. And this is them talking about it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Not only are they treating him like a child, but
it's like very bad parenting strategies where like the child
is gonna end up like fucked up with a warped
sense of self and reality.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Right. I think the phrase is encouraging to death. Yes, yeah,
I mean where it's like this, this is not the
kind of encouragement. But anyway, when you basically have magical powers, sir,
oh my god, sir, So here's his magical powers about
the weather.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Worked hard doing security and they have been absolutely fantastic. Sir.
You made it through hurricane season without a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well wow, yeah yeah, I mean I did do that,
like go on, Christy and so.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You kept the hurricanes away.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So appreciate Like the everybody laughing about everyone I'm talking
because clearly she's being like flipid, but he's just like
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like, yeah, he's not laughing. I'll tell you who's not
fucking laughing. And you know who doesn't like being laughed at? Motherfucker.
You know what you're problem was trying to say something
cute yep, I will say I do get the desire
to keep going bigger with the compliments, because he does
not seem to be He seems fairly unimpressed with everybody
(07:16):
in his administration, like during this meeting particularly.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I mean unimpressed or just so old and on the
brink of you know, uh, the great beyond that. He
can't even stay awake, right because despite all the fucking glazing,
he could not keep his fucking eyes open. Here's RFK
saying some shit, I don't even know, it doesn't even matter,
(07:40):
like Trump can't even fucking stay awake.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
His eyes are literally closed and he's slumped in his chair.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You would have to bendfull. RFK is facing him, talking
to him, just.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like RFK is facing him. He's not facing RFK and
has just drifted off. There's no other way to like say, baby,
it was just one guy.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well no, then Doug berg Berghum, the Interior Secretary, also
saying some nonsense about like how great everything's going spoiler
it's not, and Trump sleeping.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Thrilled to be part of the National Park slow.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Blink, and then.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
On making chin drop beautiful.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
This will be the same, this most beautiful cap over
the world.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
So we're doing so many things. Whether it's yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
He's not moving, he does like a little turtle blink,
you know, like how I imagine an old tortoise, like
a Galapagos tortoise, right right, yeah, anyways, and then uh,
here's Marco Rubio sitting directly next to him, and this
guy is fully just out yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Global behind his practiced hand gestures and.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It's still every day is a challenge, and he's like
mister President. And then like the end of the clip,
he kind of jolts, but his is so yeah, hope,
really really good, really good show of force. They're great
display because not only did all those people just humiliate
themselves acting like they're doing shit, but they're also acting
as if this guy wasn't just fully out of it
(09:15):
the whole time. The press did catch some interesting moments.
Russell Vatt, who's the you know, Project twenty twenty five mastermind,
who's the office management and budget. He was straight up
just doodling during this whole.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Thing, right, looking like he's taking notes, but it looks
like he's drawing the alien from those Daniel Johnson t shirts.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Oh I see like a forest with rolling hills and clouds.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh yeah, I can see that too, with like a
little arrow at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah yeah. Yeah. And then also I'm not sure if
this was a mistake or intentional, but he Pete Hegseth's name.
Placard said secretary of war, but with two s's, so
it's at s secretary.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh that might have been a request.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I know that is based on a lot of people
are like, what a humiliating mistake. I'm like, I don't know, dude.
These guys are all fucking Nazi edge lords, so I
can't like, who knows? It could be both, it could
be both. So yeah, after this, I think because Trump
was sleeping all like the Fox shows which just started
praising Trump's stamina and stuff, because obviously raising his stamina, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
After he like fell asleep five times in a televised meeting.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
They did well. They obviously ignored that because I'm sure
their whole thing is like, we're not going to talk
about it, but you probably heard on those like fucking
other places that he and Jesse Water's like, how does
he do it? He's working twelve hour shifts, he still
manages to ship post one hundred and sixty times in
a night. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So he's like acknowledging it, trying to like establish the alibi,
but not in a way that makes it seem like
he's establishing an alibi.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, just being like, this guy's great, this guy's great.
I think, you know again, you're inoculating the viewers against
any sort of perception that Rump is seen island. Just slowly.
He's not.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He's fine. He's so that's he's meditating. He's like Yoda, dude,
okayim yodam yoda him Yoda. In that last scene where
where he's just like carried me over there to.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Die exactly like a fucking Dagoba, he's like, looks, looks
back in that little backpack.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, soon enough, let's take a quick break. We'll come
back and talk about that special election in Tennessee. This
guy funny, I don't I don't know about that guy. Uh,
and then uh follow up on the Pete heg Seth
Franklin story.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
So, yeah, I saw headlines about this. I don't really know.
Like it sounds like Republicans won a election intendant, an
election in Tennessee, which is to be expected, and also
they're very alarmed by the win. Essentially, yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Look, this special election happened in this district, deep red, Okay.
Trump won by twenty two points in the presidential election
last fall, and so the results are in, and while
I wasn't necessarily seen this wasn't necessarily a potential get
for Democrats, it was definitely being looked at as like
a bell weather for the midterms. The Democrat lost by
nine points, so that means a thirteen point swing from
(12:31):
the presidential election. So a bit of pleasant news that
even people that were hardcore on Trump are starting to
like figure it out. I think the other thing that
people are pointing at is like, the turnout was really
high actually for this special election, which normally you'd be like, oh,
that would definitely be for how red it is, that
would favor that candidate even more. But they're saying, with
high turnout and you still have this thirteen point swing,
(12:53):
a lot of people are like, Okay, so there's gonna
be a lot there's potentially a lot of seats in play.
Will they get the message right or will they just
put out more fucking like neoliberal freaks who are like,
you know, incrementalism is the way. Yeah, and I'm sure
you haven't been ground down by our current system of
(13:13):
economics and finance. But we're going just the best in
your local community. Yeah, that whole fucking not.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yea, this Walmart program that if you work forty hours
a week you'll be able to get a discount on
Dell computers.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Oh okay, we're pludging one hundred thousand dollars to this community,
like all those nebulous terms.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, oh's fantastic's investment.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
But you know, uh so, I think for those people
who are thinking of like what a what the midterms
are going to look like, and whether or not terms
is going to look like you know, MAGA is waning
or not? Thirteen point swing is not? I would I
wait nothing, Yeah, I wouldn't want that. But what the
fuck do I know?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Let's see here? Uh so the spotsy spotisfy spotisfy. Have
you seen the spotisfy stuff?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Man?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I don't know. Dad's doctor.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Spotify rap event has kicked off where everybody gets to
like see what their Spotify raps are.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You don't use Spotify though, right, I don't. That's probably
better most artists. I have like I have more street
I have. I'm not proud of how many streaming services
I am. You got both describing I got Apple, yeah, man,
because the quality on Spotify sucks. But then there's like
some other like obscure tracks that show up that terrible
(14:38):
deal for artists. So I'm not trying to do an
ad here, but I was struck by how much I
was listening to certain music. Uh, my song of the
year was fico fo I listened or No. That was
my second most listened to track from the Clips album.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, what was your first? What was
your first must listen to?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
First one was this track was tracked by McGhee that
it's kind of grim, but I was like I was
playing it on a loop right after the fire. It
was like this vibe track that like I knew I
needed to listen to something, but I couldn't listen to
anything that felt good, and this had like it threaded
the needle of like because I was just driving through
(15:22):
like I would. I would take breaks from dealing with
the reality of the fire and just go drive. Like
the air was smoky and shitty and at night you
could still see the hills going from the fires not
being put out, and this one Mickey track was like
all I fucking listened to, like fucking over and over
and over and over again. So what I saw on
my Spotify rapped while I was sitting on the toilet
this morning, I got a little bit.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Emotional, thinking like, oh shit, that was my top here
you go went through thanks to McGee for helping a
tough spot, fantastic slay. So was McGee the number one
overall in the country.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Not quite? Not quite?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It was Taylor Swift again for like the fifth year
in a row.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Not quite really, not quite. It might be that guy
everyone's so fucking mad about that's doing the Super Bowl
half trying to show Benito bad Bundy. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he had nineteen point eight billion I don't even what
the fuck that nineteen point eight billion streams? All right,
that sounds that sounds sick.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They numbers. There's no way he had more streams than
Kid Rock.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Okay, I'm fucking canceling my Spotify. They're they're fucking they're
they're juicing the numbers for this. Wope, nonsense. But yeah,
this is the fourth time he's been the top global artist.
So again for when people were like, well, why why
even have this person? I mean, the people who asked
that just asked that in bad faith because they're racist.
But it's because he's at this point the most listened
(16:51):
to artists, if not one of the most listened to
artists right now globally. Yeah. Yeah. Second place was Taylor Swift,
which is she.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Had a will the way to describe it to Republicans
as be like, remember when they had Glorious steff On
in the Miami sound Machine as the Super Bowl halftime show.
It's like that, guys, it's like that just a little
throwback on.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Were they upset about that? Probably not right because it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Was like but before, yeah, I feel like they were
pretty mainstream.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, because like, yeah, Miami Cubans were still like acceptable
to Republicans, so like they get it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's right, good Taylor Swift, and second followed by the Weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I didn't realize that at all, and then followed of course.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I didn't realize that because I didn't know that until now.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
But followed by Drake, did Drake that fella that fella
still out here? Did he like drop an album this
year or something? No, the strength of the catalog.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, of course, And I think that goes with I
think what we were saying too, Like you, after the
Kendrick thing, it was like, it's not it's not, it's
not the end of his career. He's just not cool anymore. Right,
There's still plenty of fucking people who are have tears
in their eyes, like hit spitting Drake lyrics in their car.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah we're all. We all got that sad boy Drake energy.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah yeah, I know, but shout out the Weekend for
being up there. Okay, although I really only listened to
the you know, the early early stuff that's from me.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, there are some songs from the early stuff that
I listened to like on drugs and at like really
dark places and then yeah, got the exactly where you
were describing about your top song, Like I couldn't stop
listening to those songs for.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Like yeah, because it just takes you right back at
that time too, when like House of Balloons came out,
I was so single and like briny, more single than anyone,
like like so single to the singlest man, and I
was striking out with on every date I was going on.
I was like so lonely, but the hearing how horny
(18:57):
the weekend was, and like like living. I was living
vicariously through the fucking weekend at one point, and I
was like, damn, broh, you left your girl at home.
That would be sick to leave your girl at home.
You don't love her no more. I wish I had
somebody not.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Like rich rich Man problems. All right, Uh, quick update
on the So Pete Heiksath murdered those people. Uh gave
the other kill all girl did so who said kill
them all?
Speaker 7 (19:25):
That?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Apparently that was Pete HEGs So Petere Haigksas said that
admiral did it, and then he was like, he gave
the directive to kill them all right, the secretary of
Defense gave the Yeah, the top the top guy said
kill them all. The admiral did it, and he was like,
oh my god, what did you do.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
In this second? At the time, it.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Was like yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's interesting. So he
the way he's trying to play it is like that
this guy did it. I actually said that, and then
I left the room, so like, I actually can't be
the guy who did it. I wasn't even here.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Wait, dude, he did that?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh my god, dude, I was talking about that Metallica album.
That's fucking crazy, bro.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And then late Ride the Lightning dude.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But kind of one of the one of the harder
aspects of his story to Bias that like he he
didn't mean to do that, because the day after, when
everyone was getting mad about him committing war crime, he
posted this piece of AI art where Franklin the Turtle
is blowing people up with on a on a boat
(20:35):
with a with a rocket launcher, so that that seems
like sort of unapologetic, Yeah, I committed a war crime.
What the fuck you gonna do? Type ship?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's probably the I mean,
like the story is so flimsy where he's like, we
didn't do it. Maybe we did on second thought, it
was actually this other guy. Now many people are like,
you fucking what's going on here? Like, yeah, are you
going to release this tape so you can you could
actually see for yourself? Are you going to keep hiding it?
(21:07):
Are you going to get this admiral up the Capitol
Hill to ask some questions?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Tell you who wasn't happy about his use of Franklin
was the publishers of Franklin. M h Yeah, they've said
we strongly condemn any denigrating, violent and unauthorized use of
how they're going to say force, but of Franklin's name
or image, which directly contradicts these value, our values the
(21:32):
way America operates. I feel like he's more likely to
face a trademark lawsuit than he is to be tried
at the hog Phy war crimes. Yeah, give to the
fucking hag nag.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, it's interesting just this whole discussion of war
crimes because like you know, every president com it's war
crimes in this country, every single one, you know what
I mean. And it's interesting do.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It like by saying kill them all, they're more careful.
That does seem to be a lot of the stuff
that people are saying. It's like we're careful about our
war crimes because.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, like remember that like wedding Obama drone striked,
Remember that by accident?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Because too, you guys are so fucking weird about that one.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
There's a clip that's come out where Pete heg said
when the shoes on the other foot, and Obama's president,
he has a lot to say about war crimes.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
So interesting there are some guys at Levenworth who made
really bad choices on the battlefield, and I do think
there have to be consequences for.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Abject war crimes.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Go on Peter doing something that is just completely unlawful
and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That's why the military said.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
It won't follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.
There's a standard, there's an ethos, there's a belief that
we are above what so many things that our enemies
others would do.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmmm.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Anyway, it also seems like a totally different guy there,
Like he seems like a person before they had like,
you know, an addiction issue or something like.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That, you know, or just also like when you're you're
still kind of your ego isn't at that point where
you're like, bro, everything I say is popping that you
kind of be like, Okay, I need to I need
to work a room, I need make sure I'm saying
the right ship like, because you're not, because right now
he's like, bro, whatever I say is fucking it. And
then watch me post this dumb ass Franklin the turtle fucking.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
AI slop this incriminating AI slop. Yeah, it's not looking good.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
But I mean to your point, like even Jesse Waters
like nothing's gonna happen to him, which I'm like, right,
you're probably right. I mean, nothing ever happens to most
of these people except for like maybe some of the
people that were like caught up in the Abu Grabe shit.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, and whoever comes to power next is probably gonna
be like, well, I mean I don't want to totally
close myself off from wark rhymes.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I mean, look what the George W. Administrator. That George W.
Administration really flung open the door for this kind of shit.
And then Obama was like, all right, cool, we can
do this. Okay, great, and you know, and off we go.
All right.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Those are some of the things that are trending on
this December third. We are back tomorrow with the who
last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
each other, be kind to yourself, get your vaccines, but
you still can get your flat shots. Don't do nothing
about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow,

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of All
the Zeitgeis Ladies. Put your trends up. That one courtesy
of Sparkles in reference to Uh, I guess you referenced
all the single Ladies in a recent episode.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh yeah, wait, what the fuck are we talking about?
No idea, no, oh clue, Sorry, y'all, it's a it's
a NonStop hose of drivel coming out of his brain.
So I can't. I can't roll the tape back, but
I do remember we started singing it. M m oh,
it was gonna were talking about Usha Vance.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's right, it is baby, all the second ladies, all
the second ladies.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Bucks could do the cognitive test like, I'd like to.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
See you remember what you said yesterday? No chance anybody
could remember what they said yesterday. All right, Miles, this
is the episode where we tell you what is trending
on this Wednesday afternoon. Uh, Matthew Perry's ketamine doctor is
being sentenced today.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yep, yep, And look we've this isn't really that big
much of a story. Obviously, the passing we talked about,
I think I was twenty twenty three Jesus two years.
But the sentencing is happening today. The thing that caught
my eye is that, and I guess maybe people already
know this if you're a big Matthew Perry fan. But
his family members submitted impact statements for the judge to
consider for sentencing. And I just read that Keith Morrison
(01:22):
from Dateline NBC has been Matthew Perry's stepdad since nineteen
eighty one. Oh no, do you watch? Are do you
fuck with? Dateline?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm only familiar with the Bill Hayter impression of Keith Morrison, okay,
which is one of my favorite impressions that he does.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And so you are aware that Keith Morrison is iconic
in that sense that he wants.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
He's the guy who interviews people about horrifying things and goes.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Charities Oh no, strict, And there's like Instagram pages called
Keith leans on Things because whenever he goes like openings
on Dateline, he's always leaned up on some shit like yeah,
it was a cold octobe over mourning and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Could never work as an undercover CIA agent because that's
how they tell that. That's a fact on the Internet
that I don't know if it's true or not, but
that the KG Beach hel for like an undercover American
was they would be leaning on some shit because Americans
they're just always leaning. Yeah, just all that counter fucking
(02:22):
bone tired.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, cowboys, that's why. But anyway, I'm a huge dateline head,
so that fucking really spun my head. And if you
are also and you didn't know, yes, Keith Morrison has
been Matthew Perry's stepdaddy since nineteen eighty one. Also, oh,
kind of significant in Canadian politics too.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
She was Pierre Trudeau's press secretary NEPO baby.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yep, yep, exactly. Oh so that's weird dateline NBC friend
on NBC.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, see, I'm dragging a dead man. Was a fucking.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And it's not true of any other industry. There's no
other industry where people just go into it because they
have familial connections. Anyways, big news story from the past
from yesterday, I believe was that Donald Trump had his
uh the Fox News was treating it like this was
a thing. There they were like night habinet meeting of
(03:23):
his second administration, and this is the These are the
meetings where he has everybody from his cabinet come in
and be like, mister Trump. Without you, we wouldn't be
able to live, sir. The air in my lungs, Sir,
I've noticed that the air breathes easier under you, sir.
Everything just smells better. And they have to like be
(03:47):
real enthusiastic. It's almost like watching like a like people
try and pitch people, you know, like or like a
speed dating thing. We've got like three minutes to make
an impression and like get up there and tap, dance
and juggle.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You got to get it in. You gotta get your
balls right.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's what they're juggling. Miles look at them.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But yeah, another hooray for Daddy meeting that they box
was like, this is a capt He's getting everybody together
for serious shit. But it's just a big fucking you know,
the propaganda bullshit thing. I touched on gnomes claim yesterday
about how he saved hundreds of millions of lives, hundreds
of millions of lives. I just want to play the
(04:31):
clips again so you can just hear, just get an
idea of what was being said.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Cut the fedanyl flow over the southern border by over
fifty six percent, You've saved hundreds of millions of lives
with the cocaine.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You've blown up. Yeah yeah, switch, So that just that
we were just to like build some basic assumptions into
that figure. That is, most of America was going to
die of a cocaine overdose in the past few months
according to that, Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I mean just look us cocaine deaths by year.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Um, Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Maybe we're looking at around thirty thousand overdose deaths in
twenty twenty three, So that was.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Gonna spike a little bit. We're gonna see an uptick. Okay,
let's fucking one.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Hundred x that really quick. We need more cocaine overdoses.
And then like a lot of people are like, fucking again,
Venezuela is not even like a fucking source country for
this shit cocaine. Yeah, fine, because you got to cover
up your fucking I mean, I'm so glad he, mister president,
you blew up all those fishermen cocaine in the Caribbean.
Thank you so much. Then she really made him feel
(05:42):
like a deified murkin when she jokingly said he's let
me just this is just another one, like hm hm,
shows how low morale must be because they're all like, dude,
you're doing so good. Dude, you're doing so great right now,
Oh my god. And this is them talking about it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Not only are they treating him like a child, but
it's like very bad parenting strategies where like the child
is gonna end up like fucked up with a warped
sense of self and reality.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Right. I think the phrase is encouraging to death. Yes, yeah,
I mean where it's like this, this is not the
kind of encouragement. But anyway, when you basically have magical powers, sir,
oh my god, sir, So here's his magical powers about
the weather.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Worked hard doing security and they have been absolutely fantastic. Sir.
You made it through hurricane season without a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well wow, yeah yeah, I mean I did do that,
like go on, Christy and so.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You kept the hurricanes away.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So appreciate Like the everybody laughing about everyone I'm talking
because clearly she's being like flipid, but he's just like
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like, yeah, he's not laughing. I'll tell you who's not
fucking laughing. And you know who doesn't like being laughed at? Motherfucker.
You know what you're problem was trying to say something
cute yep, I will say I do get the desire
to keep going bigger with the compliments, because he does
not seem to be He seems fairly unimpressed with everybody
(07:16):
in his administration, like during this meeting particularly.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I mean unimpressed or just so old and on the
brink of you know, uh, the great beyond that. He
can't even stay awake, right because despite all the fucking glazing,
he could not keep his fucking eyes open. Here's RFK
saying some shit, I don't even know, it doesn't even matter,
(07:40):
like Trump can't even fucking stay awake.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
His eyes are literally closed and he's slumped in his chair.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You would have to bendfull. RFK is facing him, talking
to him, just.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like RFK is facing him. He's not facing RFK and
has just drifted off. There's no other way to like say, baby,
it was just one guy.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well no, then Doug berg Berghum, the Interior Secretary, also
saying some nonsense about like how great everything's going spoiler
it's not, and Trump sleeping.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Thrilled to be part of the National Park slow.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Blink, and then.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
On making chin drop beautiful.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
This will be the same, this most beautiful cap over
the world.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
So we're doing so many things. Whether it's yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
He's not moving, he does like a little turtle blink,
you know, like how I imagine an old tortoise, like
a Galapagos tortoise, right right, yeah, anyways, and then uh,
here's Marco Rubio sitting directly next to him, and this
guy is fully just out yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Global behind his practiced hand gestures and.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It's still every day is a challenge, and he's like
mister President. And then like the end of the clip,
he kind of jolts, but his is so yeah, hope,
really really good, really good show of force. They're great
display because not only did all those people just humiliate
themselves acting like they're doing shit, but they're also acting
as if this guy wasn't just fully out of it
(09:15):
the whole time. The press did catch some interesting moments.
Russell Vatt, who's the you know, Project twenty twenty five mastermind,
who's the office management and budget. He was straight up
just doodling during this whole.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Thing, right, looking like he's taking notes, but it looks
like he's drawing the alien from those Daniel Johnson t shirts.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Oh I see like a forest with rolling hills and clouds.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh yeah, I can see that too, with like a
little arrow at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah yeah. Yeah. And then also I'm not sure if
this was a mistake or intentional, but he Pete Hegseth's name.
Placard said secretary of war, but with two s's, so
it's at s secretary.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh that might have been a request.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I know that is based on a lot of people
are like, what a humiliating mistake. I'm like, I don't know, dude.
These guys are all fucking Nazi edge lords, so I
can't like, who knows? It could be both, it could
be both. So yeah, after this, I think because Trump
was sleeping all like the Fox shows which just started
praising Trump's stamina and stuff, because obviously raising his stamina, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
After he like fell asleep five times in a televised meeting.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
They did well. They obviously ignored that because I'm sure
their whole thing is like, we're not going to talk
about it, but you probably heard on those like fucking
other places that he and Jesse Water's like, how does
he do it? He's working twelve hour shifts, he still
manages to ship post one hundred and sixty times in
a night. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So he's like acknowledging it, trying to like establish the alibi,
but not in a way that makes it seem like
he's establishing an alibi.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, just being like, this guy's great, this guy's great.
I think, you know again, you're inoculating the viewers against
any sort of perception that Rump is seen island. Just slowly.
He's not.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He's fine. He's so that's he's meditating. He's like Yoda, dude,
okayim yodam yoda him Yoda. In that last scene where
where he's just like carried me over there to.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Die exactly like a fucking Dagoba, he's like, looks, looks
back in that little backpack.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, soon enough, let's take a quick break. We'll come
back and talk about that special election in Tennessee. This
guy funny, I don't I don't know about that guy. Uh,
and then uh follow up on the Pete heg Seth
Franklin story.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
So, yeah, I saw headlines about this. I don't really know.
Like it sounds like Republicans won a election intendant, an
election in Tennessee, which is to be expected, and also
they're very alarmed by the win. Essentially, yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Look, this special election happened in this district, deep red, Okay.
Trump won by twenty two points in the presidential election
last fall, and so the results are in, and while
I wasn't necessarily seen this wasn't necessarily a potential get
for Democrats, it was definitely being looked at as like
a bell weather for the midterms. The Democrat lost by
nine points, so that means a thirteen point swing from
(12:31):
the presidential election. So a bit of pleasant news that
even people that were hardcore on Trump are starting to
like figure it out. I think the other thing that
people are pointing at is like, the turnout was really
high actually for this special election, which normally you'd be like, oh,
that would definitely be for how red it is, that
would favor that candidate even more. But they're saying, with
high turnout and you still have this thirteen point swing,
(12:53):
a lot of people are like, Okay, so there's gonna
be a lot there's potentially a lot of seats in play.
Will they get the message right or will they just
put out more fucking like neoliberal freaks who are like,
you know, incrementalism is the way. Yeah, and I'm sure
you haven't been ground down by our current system of
(13:13):
economics and finance. But we're going just the best in
your local community. Yeah, that whole fucking not.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yea, this Walmart program that if you work forty hours
a week you'll be able to get a discount on
Dell computers.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Oh okay, we're pludging one hundred thousand dollars to this community,
like all those nebulous terms.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, oh's fantastic's investment.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
But you know, uh so, I think for those people
who are thinking of like what a what the midterms
are going to look like, and whether or not terms
is going to look like you know, MAGA is waning
or not? Thirteen point swing is not? I would I
wait nothing, Yeah, I wouldn't want that. But what the
fuck do I know?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Let's see here? Uh so the spotsy spotisfy spotisfy. Have
you seen the spotisfy stuff?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Man?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I don't know. Dad's doctor.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Spotify rap event has kicked off where everybody gets to
like see what their Spotify raps are.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You don't use Spotify though, right, I don't. That's probably
better most artists. I have like I have more street
I have. I'm not proud of how many streaming services
I am. You got both describing I got Apple, yeah, man,
because the quality on Spotify sucks. But then there's like
some other like obscure tracks that show up that terrible
(14:38):
deal for artists. So I'm not trying to do an
ad here, but I was struck by how much I
was listening to certain music. Uh, my song of the
year was fico fo I listened or No. That was
my second most listened to track from the Clips album.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, what was your first? What was
your first must listen to?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
First one was this track was tracked by McGhee that
it's kind of grim, but I was like I was
playing it on a loop right after the fire. It
was like this vibe track that like I knew I
needed to listen to something, but I couldn't listen to
anything that felt good, and this had like it threaded
the needle of like because I was just driving through
(15:22):
like I would. I would take breaks from dealing with
the reality of the fire and just go drive. Like
the air was smoky and shitty and at night you
could still see the hills going from the fires not
being put out, and this one Mickey track was like
all I fucking listened to, like fucking over and over
and over and over again. So what I saw on
my Spotify rapped while I was sitting on the toilet
this morning, I got a little bit.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Emotional, thinking like, oh shit, that was my top here
you go went through thanks to McGee for helping a
tough spot, fantastic slay. So was McGee the number one
overall in the country.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Not quite? Not quite?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It was Taylor Swift again for like the fifth year
in a row.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Not quite really, not quite. It might be that guy
everyone's so fucking mad about that's doing the Super Bowl
half trying to show Benito bad Bundy. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he had nineteen point eight billion I don't even what
the fuck that nineteen point eight billion streams? All right,
that sounds that sounds sick.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They numbers. There's no way he had more streams than
Kid Rock.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Okay, I'm fucking canceling my Spotify. They're they're fucking they're
they're juicing the numbers for this. Wope, nonsense. But yeah,
this is the fourth time he's been the top global artist.
So again for when people were like, well, why why
even have this person? I mean, the people who asked
that just asked that in bad faith because they're racist.
But it's because he's at this point the most listened
(16:51):
to artists, if not one of the most listened to
artists right now globally. Yeah. Yeah. Second place was Taylor Swift,
which is she.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Had a will the way to describe it to Republicans
as be like, remember when they had Glorious steff On
in the Miami sound Machine as the Super Bowl halftime show.
It's like that, guys, it's like that just a little
throwback on.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Were they upset about that? Probably not right because it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Was like but before, yeah, I feel like they were
pretty mainstream.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, because like, yeah, Miami Cubans were still like acceptable
to Republicans, so like they get it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's right, good Taylor Swift, and second followed by the Weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I didn't realize that at all, and then followed of course.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I didn't realize that because I didn't know that until now.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
But followed by Drake, did Drake that fella that fella
still out here? Did he like drop an album this
year or something? No, the strength of the catalog.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, of course, And I think that goes with I
think what we were saying too, Like you, after the
Kendrick thing, it was like, it's not it's not, it's
not the end of his career. He's just not cool anymore. Right,
There's still plenty of fucking people who are have tears
in their eyes, like hit spitting Drake lyrics in their car.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah we're all. We all got that sad boy Drake energy.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah yeah, I know, but shout out the Weekend for
being up there. Okay, although I really only listened to
the you know, the early early stuff that's from me.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, there are some songs from the early stuff that
I listened to like on drugs and at like really
dark places and then yeah, got the exactly where you
were describing about your top song, Like I couldn't stop
listening to those songs for.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Like yeah, because it just takes you right back at
that time too, when like House of Balloons came out,
I was so single and like briny, more single than anyone,
like like so single to the singlest man, and I
was striking out with on every date I was going on.
I was like so lonely, but the hearing how horny
(18:57):
the weekend was, and like like living. I was living
vicariously through the fucking weekend at one point, and I
was like, damn, broh, you left your girl at home.
That would be sick to leave your girl at home.
You don't love her no more. I wish I had
somebody not.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Like rich rich Man problems. All right, Uh, quick update
on the So Pete Heiksath murdered those people. Uh gave
the other kill all girl did so who said kill
them all?
Speaker 7 (19:25):
That?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Apparently that was Pete HEGs So Petere Haigksas said that
admiral did it, and then he was like, he gave
the directive to kill them all right, the secretary of
Defense gave the Yeah, the top the top guy said
kill them all. The admiral did it, and he was like,
oh my god, what did you do.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
In this second? At the time, it.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Was like yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's interesting. So he
the way he's trying to play it is like that
this guy did it. I actually said that, and then
I left the room, so like, I actually can't be
the guy who did it. I wasn't even here.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Wait, dude, he did that?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh my god, dude, I was talking about that Metallica album.
That's fucking crazy, bro.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And then late Ride the Lightning dude.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But kind of one of the one of the harder
aspects of his story to Bias that like he he
didn't mean to do that, because the day after, when
everyone was getting mad about him committing war crime, he
posted this piece of AI art where Franklin the Turtle
is blowing people up with on a on a boat
(20:35):
with a with a rocket launcher, so that that seems
like sort of unapologetic, Yeah, I committed a war crime.
What the fuck you gonna do? Type ship?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's probably the I mean,
like the story is so flimsy where he's like, we
didn't do it. Maybe we did on second thought, it
was actually this other guy. Now many people are like,
you fucking what's going on here? Like, yeah, are you
going to release this tape so you can you could
actually see for yourself? Are you going to keep hiding it?
(21:07):
Are you going to get this admiral up the Capitol
Hill to ask some questions?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Tell you who wasn't happy about his use of Franklin
was the publishers of Franklin. M h Yeah, they've said
we strongly condemn any denigrating, violent and unauthorized use of
how they're going to say force, but of Franklin's name
or image, which directly contradicts these value, our values the
(21:32):
way America operates. I feel like he's more likely to
face a trademark lawsuit than he is to be tried
at the hog Phy war crimes. Yeah, give to the
fucking hag nag.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, it's interesting just this whole discussion of war
crimes because like you know, every president com it's war
crimes in this country, every single one, you know what
I mean. And it's interesting do.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It like by saying kill them all, they're more careful.
That does seem to be a lot of the stuff
that people are saying. It's like we're careful about our
war crimes because.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, like remember that like wedding Obama drone striked,
Remember that by accident?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Because too, you guys are so fucking weird about that one.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
There's a clip that's come out where Pete heg said
when the shoes on the other foot, and Obama's president,
he has a lot to say about war crimes.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
So interesting there are some guys at Levenworth who made
really bad choices on the battlefield, and I do think
there have to be consequences for.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Abject war crimes.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Go on Peter doing something that is just completely unlawful
and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That's why the military said.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
It won't follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.
There's a standard, there's an ethos, there's a belief that
we are above what so many things that our enemies
others would do.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmmm.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Anyway, it also seems like a totally different guy there,
Like he seems like a person before they had like,
you know, an addiction issue or something like.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That, you know, or just also like when you're you're
still kind of your ego isn't at that point where
you're like, bro, everything I say is popping that you
kind of be like, Okay, I need to I need
to work a room, I need make sure I'm saying
the right ship like, because you're not, because right now
he's like, bro, whatever I say is fucking it. And
then watch me post this dumb ass Franklin the turtle fucking.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
AI slop this incriminating AI slop. Yeah, it's not looking good.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
But I mean to your point, like even Jesse Waters
like nothing's gonna happen to him, which I'm like, right,
you're probably right. I mean, nothing ever happens to most
of these people except for like maybe some of the
people that were like caught up in the Abu Grabe shit.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, and whoever comes to power next is probably gonna
be like, well, I mean I don't want to totally
close myself off from wark rhymes.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I mean, look what the George W. Administrator. That George W.
Administration really flung open the door for this kind of shit.
And then Obama was like, all right, cool, we can
do this. Okay, great, and you know, and off we go.
All right.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Those are some of the things that are trending on
this December third. We are back tomorrow with the who
last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
each other, be kind to yourself, get your vaccines, but
you still can get your flat shots. Don't do nothing
about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow,

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
