Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one hundred, episode
one of eight, a production of I Heart Radio. This
is a podcast where we take a deep dive into
America's share consciousness and say, officially off the top, funck
Coke Industries and fuck Fox News. It's Monday, September sixteen,
(00:23):
two thousand nineteen. My name is Jack O'Brien a k.
It's the end of the world and all the Western civilization,
psychic spies from China steal my snl elation and if
you want these kind of gems. Joined Shane Gillis, Nation
(00:46):
and V. Joined as always by my co host Mr
Miles Gray. Smoke a thick bowl of wax. Could you
wa my drooling feelings? Mac? How did my litter red
Mexic milk calms my growing dread? I wish I felt
(01:06):
I felt like I'm so high. It feels like I'm
growing dreads. That's happening before anyway, shout out to try Gang.
You know, look, we don't have talking about that on Mike,
but yeah, try Gang as Testy dz A K. S.
Nickelback Photography. Thank you very much. But we're thrilled to
be doing Inner third Sea year hilarious comedian and talented
(01:28):
performer Mr Eric Lampere. Hello, Hello, gentlemen, Hello Eric, thanks
for having me again and again and again. Guys, it's
so good to have you back. Like I'm a home here. Yeah,
and you guys on my mom and dad mom, which
it doesn't matter, you could be both my dad. I
provide look, I provide feminine and masculine energy to everything
(01:50):
in turn. Yeah, and then they in turn love receiver loving,
so as too, are you. It's like something about Mary. Yeah.
When I was in Nepal, they killed me Kim Tati,
which made me give it love. Something about Mary. I
(02:10):
feel like it's sort of an under overlooked Jim maybe
at least the character of pat Healy pet. I think
pat Heally is one of the best scumbags ever. Was
the one that had lex risis and stuff. No, that
was Chris Elliott's character, Woogie Don Wiganowski. Pat Healy was
a private investigator played by Matt Dillon. Uh. Well, Eric,
we're gonna get to know you a little bit, better,
(02:31):
catch up with you, find out what you've been up to.
But first we're going to take our listeners through a
couple of things. We're talking about today right wing propaganda
is getting scary. We're gonna talk about a couple of
examples of that. We're going to talk about the real
reason that Trump's Energy Department just announced that they were
scrapping those energy efficient lightbulbs. It's I hadn't heard this.
(02:56):
It's interesting. Well, finally I like that sign. It is
actually dictating some of the policy. Yes, that's right. Uh,
we're gonna talk about the Liberty University clusterfuck, the JF
two Jerry Folwell Jr. And the Politico expose is just
(03:16):
an incredible story and proves that the Righteous Gemstones is
actually too understated. It's it's not over the top enough.
We are going to talk about that Russian spy who
had to be pulled out of Russia. We're gonna talk
about the Ignoble Prizes. I love those. Yeah. So I
(03:41):
just found out about this, Yeah I have. As I
read them, I'm like, I actually looked at talking about
you heard about this? He's like, yeah, yeah, bro, not
up on my science at all. Sorry. Uh, yeah, I've
worked on the internet for a Yeah, heard of it. Uh.
And we're gonna talk about popeye'es too. Is there the
(04:01):
solution is that they've come up with a solution to
your problem. They've come up to a non solution to
a problem that shouldn't have ever existed. They should just
be selling wonder bread up front eventually. Yeah, but first, Eric,
we like to ask our guests. Oh, I know, we'd
like to ask what's something from your search history, Bro,
(04:21):
that sort of last thing I searched was the thirty
one best final Shots in Horror Movies. It's just it's
just an article I think by one picture dot com um.
And I quite like studying film and cinemotography. Yeah, And
the opening shot in the final shot always intrigues me
because there's a reason, well, there should be a reason,
(04:42):
if the director is good or the storyteller is good,
that there should be a reason as to why we're
seeing that right. And I'm really starting to think, I
think Hollywood's getting to me, Bro. But I'm really fascinated
by not just the story, but why isn't the mind
the director, Why the director choose that frame over the
(05:03):
myriad of millions of frames? That possibility was there specific
film that kind of you were impressed by that you
didn't think was actually is? Now he's he's my shame.
I googled it to read for later. So example, Uh,
next time I'm back, I will up you what happens
(05:25):
transparency exactly? Yeah? I like that. That um the idea
of like thinking of every shot in a movie as
like an individual painting, where everything in the frame was
decided for a reason. Uh, that's like, that's when I
really got I had a film studies professor who was like,
(05:45):
nothing is there by accident, and I have since learned
that that's not necessarily true, but it's just from a
viewer's perspective, it's a good way to think about movies
that everything has meaning. So like, like someone said that
they found Roma boring, did you look at it? Which
And in a way, I'm like, you know, fair enough.
(06:07):
Some people don't have time to watch as many movies.
That's how I do, right, But I said, I said,
I was like, no, no, but rewatch it and ask
yourself why that opening shot, for example, took so long?
Right where you just saw this sort of blood being
washed or was it was it blood or poop? I
think it was, Yeah, it was a dog poop. And
why did it take so long? Why was this so
(06:28):
almost why was it in a way so boring, right,
I think it was her daily life. We were experiencing
a little bit of her daily life and how like
monotonous it is. I think there's layers right to getting
more engaged with film and watching film. The first is this,
like is it entertaining based on me opening my eyes
and aiming them at the screen. And then from there, yeah,
can you pick up on the nuances and the acting
(06:50):
and then the cinematography itself, because when you start really
appreciating you'll go back to other films, especially if you
begin to identify directors of cinematographers and you're like wow,
when when you realize the intention of things, it adds
so much more meaning. And oh yeah, like the language,
you know, it's it's you know, if you can study
a little bit of French and Gohli a tech you know,
where is the library comes up all of a sudden,
(07:14):
it's like, oh, baby, like fluid French. I feel like
you made love to by the French language. Uh Man,
that part in Roma I was just you bring it up.
It was just making me think of the part where
they like go to the country to like stay at
those people's house. That's like a, oh man, what what
(07:35):
a sequence of just I don't know, guys watching you
check that sh it out. It's like or start, you know,
start small, start noticing when you see long master shots
like with no cuts. That was my first foray into
under like as a stoner college you know, like yo,
I think I was just all like one take right,
I feel like, dude, I think this is all just
(07:55):
whoa dude? They went in the pool and then came out.
I don't think they or like Snake Eyes also has
one in the opening. Yeah, but one of the best
long ever is when Chief Brody is walking with the
mayor in Jaws and he's walking along the beach and
the mayor is like, I don't want to close the
(08:16):
I don't want to close the beach and stuff like that,
and then they sort of walk up and then they
walk by the billboard where then and then they continue.
But that the choreography of where the three actors are
moving while the camera's moving. Yeah, I don't sit here
and talk to a guy who's lining up to be
a hot lunch. Wow, somebody from the scripture, what is
(08:41):
something you think is overrated? Overrated? How about other people's opinion. Yeah, yeah,
I love other people's stories. I love other people's thoughts
and behaviors and why, like, for example, they have those
thoughts and why they has those behaviors? Where did that
come from? I I love every single person's story, but
when they come at me on the internet with an
(09:03):
opinion of my own perception and my own reality, I
sometimes go, how about you just kill yourself a little bit,
because it's quite frustrating when you For example, I was
called homophope while I was I was on set. I
was I was doing a comedy comedy Nate, and I
was doing a set about the time I did some
feluci felacio on a man's pens, and my opinion was
(09:26):
it wasn't for me, right, And I was sharing that, hey,
not for me, for other people great trying it, got
the T shirt and interested, and I think because obviously
I was bringing lightedness and humor to my own experience
about how I wasn't into it by experience experimentation, and
I was like, I tried to finish just to make
him happy, and you know, like, yeah, I st brought
(09:49):
light to it. And then this guy was clearly triggered
and clearly bullied a lot at school by his own experience.
He just heard me making light like light of sucking
dig essentially, and he was really upset. And I tried
to be kind and listen, and after a while I went,
you know what, mate, you're not listening to me. Well,
that's the thing. And I think a lot of people
to expect their opinion to affect another person by voicing it, right,
(10:12):
because we're sort of raised from children to look at
feedback from our parents first and be like, okay, how
do I adjust? And you're always looking at feedback, feedback, feedback, opinions.
And then at a certain point, like when you sort
of realize who you are, those are like, you know,
those don't need to inform your own movement as a
human being, how you take the world in. But a
lot of people still feel entitled to, you know, controlling
(10:35):
or at least thinking that let me say this thing
to control this or check this person. And you know,
and and the way he was talking to me there
was there's a little bit of moment of sadness in
a way, because the way he was talking to me
was like I was the bully at school. I was
his bully. At schoolure and I kept thinking, I didn't
say any of this to him, but I was like, man,
I lived in seven countries before the age of twelve.
(10:57):
Me be getting bullied about my identity was my entire childhood,
just because it wasn't a sexual thing, but it was
more you know what it's like to be seen as different.
And but he I knew that at the moment, he
was just fired up and didn't want to listen, and
I was like, oh, mate, yeah, all right, I think
that's interesting that you kind of the other option is
(11:17):
like telling your story, Like if he had come to
you and been like, this is my story and then
like make of it what you will, as opposed to
just there's something so like like literally ego centered of opinion,
like that's like this is how I see it, and
you're trying to force that very specific because because he
really got he really got in my face, and I
(11:40):
was just aware that, oh, he's clearly got some pain
from childhood. Yeah, because I put a little bit thought
into it. But if I was just present with him
and I would just be like, I would get defensive.
He was being told to me and so you ignore
people's opinion, Well, if you know they're wrong. It's not
even that you don't need to explain yourself to people
(12:03):
all the time. And I think we're used to explaining
ourselves all the time, Like I said, like when you know,
like I do this because of this or whatever. But
at a certain point, I mean, as long as you're
not being like evil or something and someone is just misconstruing,
maybe you're like what you're saying or what they believe
you to be. But that's our own desire, right for
our egos because we don't want to feel like we're
(12:24):
misunderstood by another person, because then our identity in this
person's eye is not what we believe it should be.
So then we're they're activating our own egoship. And it's
more like, you know what, you can think, I'm living
my truth here. I know that emanates from within me first,
and if you if you can't, you know, pick up
what I'm transmitting, then that's on you. You You know what
I mean. I gotta keep it moving because I'm here
to make make make love, and make peace. There's nothing
(12:47):
more boring than listening to an artist explain their work
like in their opinion, what it means, like why they
did something as but their work is brilliant, So like,
just do whatever your version of art is. Don't don't
like give yeah, yeah, life is art. Live your life
like a work of art. Wow, what is something you
(13:07):
think is underrated? I didn't write anything just philosophically. You
just mean, like just on the premise nothing's underrated? Well,
you know there is. I guess there is a place
for everything, right, there is sometimes like is it underrated?
Is it not? And you know this is my what
how many times have I been here may before? Underrated things? Now, yeah,
(13:29):
there's a lot of things. You were just in Boise, Idaho.
How did you like Boise? I loved it. Oh shout
out to Sarah from Boise, Okay to my show, Yeah
Boys was wonderful. Caitlyn Gill had a comedian She did
a great sort of observation about how, uh they wear
the T shirts of their own town. That's how much.
That's how much people in Idahoans love their city and state.
(13:51):
They wear T shirts of their own city and state.
Were they wearing the schools shirts or just straight up
just boys just like this like the picture of the state,
for example, is there a football feel still blue, I
think so, Yeah, good branding. Is that Boise state by state?
I believe you not even impossible to have a Boisey
state since Boise is not a state but a city. Look, man,
I got a lot of taps. Maybe Boise state as
(14:15):
in Boise state of mind. Yeah, welcome to Boise, New
York state of mind. I'm trying to think of, like
what the slogan for Boise would be, but I don't
know ship about Boise, so why would I know what
the slogan for boys. I'm guessing it's I think it's
an agricultural one. So it's it is like the Latin
is like reap and you shall receive, you know, the
(14:36):
motto of Boise City of Trees, it's bloo. It's what
is the myth? What's something people think it is true?
You know? To be false? Hey? Bro? Concept? Like have
you ever considered our concepts aren't real? Are you making
fun of me right now? Bro? But like, but again,
(15:01):
I was like, oh, it's my fourth or fifth time here,
and I need to come up with another myth that
I can debunk, you know, because I was like, there's
plenty of myths out there, but one that can debunkum,
and I just thought, based on what I've experienced this year,
I was like, it proved to me that any concept
that you actually experienced is real, you know, so you
can read something so that the example I use as
(15:22):
I think Jenny the neuroscientist, Right, she can be in
a black and white room and learn about the color red, right, everything,
the radio wave, you know, how it can be used.
It represents love but also danger, all of those things.
But until she steps out that room and actually sees
the color red, she hasn't had the full information, right,
And so then it becomes this really interesting thing where
you go, Okay, I've studied my entire life this thing
(15:45):
that exists out there in the universe or past the universe,
or about time and stuff. But until you really experience it,
like for people that make beers. Right, you can make beer,
you can put the ingredients in your write, water, barley,
all of that delicious, but until you're like drunk on,
you haven't had the full experience of beer. And so
(16:06):
it makes creatively speaking and actually philosophically speaking and stuff,
and actually maybe to involve as a human being, it's
interesting to start thinking about the concepts that you believe
in and then maybe see if you can break them
down to truly understand the universe. How do you experirecome
Alan Watts. But yeah, it's true. I think that the experience.
(16:27):
I mean, we can know so many things intellectually right,
but like, but experience even just even adding experiences even
to your point might not be something you think you
need or don't need or whatever, but just always giving
yourself new stimulation through experience can lead a tremendous growth time.
Time is measured by change, right, and so for example,
of brain will always measure something for the first time,
(16:50):
so you always remember like your first kiss and first this,
first that. And as you get older, people are more
and more afraid of doing more first, and their full
time sort of moves in this of like kind of way,
which is why you should constantly keep your challenging yourself
to experience first, or read about first, or do more first,
because then all of a sudden, your memory bank just
keeps feeling because your brain goes this is first. That's
(17:13):
why people in the car crush they say, like it
moved slowly, bro, I don't know why. Hanging out A
lot of freshman philosophy student who just took a bong
hit um. Yeah, but yeah, stimulate your mind, yeah, because
it's true, like you know, you can you can go
to that same bar for the nine hundredth time. That's
(17:34):
not going to really necessarily open up something new in
your memory, but you might remember trying like ship, maybe
I'll will go to this weird grunge show even though
I'll grunge all the time. I'm trying to do that
with music too now, because I like music, but there's
some genres of music I'm like, I don't know if
I'm interested in seeing a live show of this, because
I wouldn't really listen to it normally. But I'm more like, no,
you know what, like taking the experience of seeing this
(17:56):
other form of the thing is well. Taking in the experience,
even if you don't really fit, know you don't like it,
just be chill, enjoy it, take it all in. It's
quite fun. Well, being just uncomfortable typically leads to a
huge growth or something like you know, like even when
you're a kid, right like when I was playing sports,
I would when I had to. When I was good
enough to play with like a lot older kids in hockey,
Like I was very scared because I was like, these
(18:17):
kids are two years older than me, and like when
you're twelve, that's like a whole fucking universe of size.
But but that experience to be uncomfortable like forced me
to improve or whatever. It's like anything, just put yourself
in uncomfortable positions and you will prevail. Yes, yes, all right,
let's talk about there's a couple of pieces of right
wing propaganda that are starting to make the right seem
(18:40):
a little scarier than they seemed before I saw them before.
I mean, yeah, they've been frightening me for a while. Right.
So there was an ad that ran in New York
and Houston and one other city during the debate that
was a photograph of AOC and it says, this is
(19:02):
the face of socialism and then lights it on fire
and then like it burns away and there's like pictures
of like skulls and dead people underneath, and um, I
guess the idea. This is from a pack led by
a woman who got totally tuned up in the two
thousand eighteen mid terms. Yeah, but she became famous anyway
(19:23):
because her violent ads got banned from Facebook, So like
she became a figure of you know, the right wing
being able to say that their voice is being held
back because because she's an Asian woman, she's like the
poster child of like, I'm a minority who fox with
Trump yes, and her kind of origin stories that her
(19:44):
parents were almost killed in the Cambodian killing fields. I think, yeah,
and all of that to just run. I mean, but that,
but that was done by the Khmer rouge and who's
famously wearing rouge. I mean about as similar as you
get to, like that's you might as well just be like, well,
(20:07):
what what color were they wearing? Because like the for
all the similarities that AOC has to the version of
communism or socialism, I've never understood this right, So some
Americans don't want to listen to me understandably because you're
not from here. Bro, Why why does I say? Right?
Seriously here? So many people get angry at me when
(20:29):
I just tell them, just so you know, I come
from a place where I pay less tax and I
get healthcare. Just chill out with the socialism. Stop paying
a dirty word on it. It's it's I don't know yet,
I don't know. I genuinely my mind is boggled. Low
bills you want little bills, you want lower bills. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(20:50):
I folk with that. Great, that's what we're doing. Get
your low bills out of my state. Yeah, I don't
want lower I want higher bills. Really, it's my freedom
to pay more money. But yeah, I think that's the
thing too, because you know the America, you know, at
one point capitalism did work for a large number of people,
and then that proportion has completely fallen off and as
different and I think you know we've been or not.
(21:12):
I mean, many people have been conditioned to hear those
is like existential threat buzzwords of like conym so called
social whatever that is. It's just you know stuff. But
then meanwhile you have candidates like this who you know,
just it really pains me when I see the like
minorities who are really trying to like use their existence
(21:35):
to try and soften Trump's racism or be like well,
you know, I think this is fine, or like he's
actually chill as I support him, um, And it's just
it's very disingenuous. If you know, like if you're on
the right and you have an opinion and you phrase
it in a way that's just like, hey, the reason
I think like this is because of this and you're
chill about it, people will listen. If you're shouting in
(21:56):
someone's face, you've already lost, mate, You've already if you
if you you know well, I think typically even calmly,
if you engage somebody on talking about socialism who is
like on the right, they typically only have like three
examples to point to, which is interesting because one of
the one most people who are into very like lazy
discourse will just be like, what about Venezuela? Man as
(22:20):
like this very extreme example, completely removing all nuance as
to the history of the country, the how what the
Western world's part is, and uh, you know, pushing that
country in that direction and things like that. Um, and
that was That was what I thought was interesting about
the debates is when uh, I forget which one of
the hosts or the moderators basically frame that question to
(22:41):
Bernie Sanders to be like, help explain this, because most
people the first thing they're gonna be like, well, what
about socialism? And people die? You're in favor of Venezuela.
That's what you want my kids to be like to
have to fight people away from their mango tree with
a crossbow. Yeah, um my kid angle become Venezuela. Um. Well,
(23:04):
so that add from that pack during the debates got
uh a like boycott ABC trending on Friday. Um, but
there was another ad that was that kind of flew
under the radar that Rudy Giuliani tweeted that. So it
opens with like a close up on a CoP's face
(23:26):
and he's facing down um anti basically anti socialists there
and they're just like you know, enraged and have signs
that are like down with the police, the police state FTP,
FTP police are fascists, yes, and uh And then it
like flashes back to him as a you know, younger
(23:51):
man being sworn in like just various like moments of
American patriotism, and then as a child, uh wit saying
nine eleven happened. And then it like cuts back cuts
back to him and he gets this look of determination
on his face and like pushes down his police visor
and like whips out this like giant like baton and
(24:14):
it's like come on, mother, Like it's like this like
called to arms of like murder. It's wildly ethic. I mean,
like I'm not gonna lie by the way, bar blows
out the production value of most dumb shit I've seen
like this from right, like the like they had extras,
good that there might have been a second unit. I
(24:35):
don't know, Oh, I think so, like a kid who
looked like the cop to play the younger version of
the Cops. Like they nailed it things. I already want
to see the opening and final shelf with that video now.
And yes, I'll give you a guess as to what
is playing on the audio track. It's like Sweetheme Alabama,
but done slowly, Sweet Home to be an American. Oh beautiful,
(25:03):
like a horror of child's child's voice. Jack in the
Bucks music exactly, Um, Jack O'Brien in the books. That's right. Hey,
oh man, Well, like I said last week, man, just
great police state porn for anybody. Was like, yeah, man,
that's what I wanted. So that's what I have to
(25:24):
do to beat up people I don't agree with. Become
a cop, right cool? Yeah, great recruiting tool. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back
and we're back. So the story. Last week, Trump's Energy
(25:46):
Department announced they're scrapping new efficiency standards for light bulbs,
which isn't that surprising because it's something that was finalized
by Obama, first implemented by famous lefty George W. Bush.
Is that how like lame they are on the list
of shit Obama did that They've gone through like the
big ship. And I'm like, all right, what else we got? Uh?
(26:08):
This is a light bulb thing. Yeah, fuck it, fuck it,
suck it. But a lot of people are piste off because, uh,
this standard would have saved consumers billions of dollars and
prevented millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Uh. And
so people you know, not surprisingly or like wait, so
why are we doing this? And uh? Last Monday at
(26:32):
a rally, Trump said the quiet part out loud as
he is wont to do and said he looks better
under an incandescent light. And he prefaced that statement by saying,
I'm not a vain person, but uh. And then the
following Thursday, he blamed the led light bulbs for his
orange skin tone. He said, the bulb that we're being
(26:55):
forced to use number one to me, most importantly, the
light's no good. I was look orange, and so do you.
The light is the worst, and so do you? Just
so not he's not orange, you're orange. Uh. I mean
like when you start arguing like it's the color temper.
The color tempers are working up my whole existence. He's
(27:16):
thinking about cinematography. Yeah, he's like a gaffer. Now he's like, yeah,
we shouldn't like this with incandescent. Actually in two thousand six,
so it's that's does that track? No? Why am I
even asking if not? Because he's been changing. It's been
orange since like two thousand three. People actually looked into
(27:38):
this like when did he first turn orange? And it
actually goes back to before the Apprentice? I think, what
do we when the Apprentice started? And also Facebook, So
that's when he turned orange. And it was around the
time that a business partner of his who he was
like going in on an investment with at that time,
(27:59):
I think they were buying the General Electric building together.
They said they were buying the general election that also happened,
but he that person bought a new Sunshine, which was
a company that makes tanning beds and also tanning uh
spray spray tan And around that time, suddenly Trump turned orange.
(28:23):
People are like, huh, dude, the presidential sheets at the
White House must get stained with what he washes them.
He's like, no, I'm gonna I'll do it myself. Wasn't
there something about that? Like he had this weird thing
he didn't want people's looking at his sheets or towels
or something. I don't know. Everything just blends together these days,
(28:45):
but I like that it's born out of I wonder
what that guy like. When Trump's like, so what are
you getting into, He's like, I'm in this, like tanning
beds and stuff. You know, you want to look like you're,
you know, on vacation, you know, looking good. Look at
that nice you know, Hugh, do you like burnt duck skin?
And he's like, yeah, I wonder if like that his
wheels just started turning. Goes, okay, that's my new thing. Yeah,
(29:07):
you gotta have a color. That's good branding. But yeah,
new Sunshine. That company also became a sponsor of The
Celebrity Apprentice, So it's not like I mean there there
was a a tie in there. Guys. I want to
talk about the show The Righteous Gemstones on HBO. Uh
and it's real world equivalent that is unfolding in Virginia
(29:29):
with Jerry Fallwell's children and grandchildren. Um so First of all,
shout out to HBO, whoever is green lighting these shows
is fucking nailing the zeitgeist. Like twenty months in advance,
Chernobyl Chernobyl was like so perfect, which I guess wasn't
so hard to predict because you knew we had a
(29:50):
an administration coming in with their head like all the
way up there as well. And also yeah, like the
sort of obscuring of truth and how used in service
of darker ends and things like that, but with righteous gemstones,
I mean, I had they and Danny McBride fully nailed
uh the Fallwell family, like, I mean, I guess, I
(30:12):
guess they've been around for a while, but it's it's
pretty wild, like the stuff that is being revealed about
how Jerry Folwell Jr. Who is the Charisma list bearded
guy who shows up at a lot of like Republican
events and talks like this, like in really slow motion
(30:33):
dead pant Uh he is is he sweating a cold
iced tea as he speaks? Yeah, we declare not even
He's very like very memorable. He's like, oh yeah, that guy.
And then you're like, where wasn't your guy? That your
wasn't your dad? The guy that was like teletubis are
going to make kids gay or something. Yeah, but he
(30:55):
was also his dad basically invented the whole like what
we know now as the Baptists Born Again movement that
we associate most like American Christianity with Jerry Fallwell Senior
like invented that essentially, and he died in two thousand seven.
Jerry Fallwell the second took over basically the whole company
(31:17):
and control of Liberty University, which was a university that
was started by his dad. Uh. It is a nonprofit
and not for profit, which means you're not allowed to profit,
you're not allowed to have a political motive. Uh. And
he has all of those things and like blatantly uses
(31:39):
it to like self deal himself like great real estate opportunities, uh,
like in the name of buying it for the school
or something exactly. Uh. The school like sold his personal
trainer this like gorgeous huge property to like so that
Jerry Fallwell Junior could like work out there, and sold
it to him for like an incredibly cheap price. He's
(32:03):
also like childishly horny and like talks to everybody about
how he has sex with his wife, like nails her,
and he's like, oh, now my wife's so hard and
like she can't handle my big dick broker. His co
workers and like they're I guess who are the co
workers at this weird church? Anyway, they're probably hell yeah, dude,
(32:24):
And then like no that No, everybody's like what so
that they're like actually conservative Christians who are Actually They're
like this is a fucking nightmare. It's like a dictatorship
under this dude. Like everybody is terrified and just disgusted
behind his back, but around him, they're all just like
you said it, uh sex God. He once sent a
(32:51):
picture of his wife in like a French maid's outfit
around to a bunch of like board members and I
was like, sorry, guys, meant to send that to my
personal trainer. It's like, no, you didn't, creep. But also
I feel so desperately sorry for him. I honestly don't
know because he's being in I think if you can
(33:11):
extract all that evil shit he does in exploitative bullshit
he does under this, the saddest thing, isn't it, Like
he guys, look, I do have sex with a lady.
I feel like you don't he really reminds me of
Donald Trump Jr. Like the whole first of all his
beard and chinless beardedness, but also just his like never
(33:33):
really experienced discomfort other than his father's disapproval, and so
you know, takes it out on everybody else. Jack my
interrupts you here. You said chinless, as if that was
a really bad thing. I would like to explore that further,
because take a good look at my face, Jack, I
don't have a chin to myself, and you said chin
(33:53):
listen such a way. I'm looking a right there. It's
need a bid to make it seem like I've got
a chin. But if I shave, Like Gavin McGinnis, like
that famous video he did years ago before he became Mr.
Proud Boys, was like talking about why he needs a beard.
He shaved and he's like, because I don't have it.
It was like when you saw that, I was like, Oh,
(34:14):
there's that energy that will be get into evolve in
what a proud boy is. Then you have Eric, who's
self actual eyes and you know, empathetic, and he's like,
we're all delft chins. Some get some have bigger chins
and some get huge ones though too. Reese Weatherspoon. What
a beautiful chin she has. Oh my god, I want
to hold that channel, most adorable good night. Would you
(34:35):
ever get a chinn in plant? No? I have considered
getting my gums smaller. Oh all big at you Americans
have massive teeth and I've got like these tiny little
milk teeth still, And so if I smile, and if
you really make me smile, the upper lips of hides
under itself, and then all of a sudden you reveal
(34:58):
this gang and wonder of you. Did you hang out
with the other Zeke guest Jamie Loftus at all in Edinburgh?
I didn't see them because I actually lived outside of Edinburgh.
I'll come in, I'll do my show. And she's a
veneers expert. Oh yeah, she can spot veneers like from
(35:19):
literally away, like someone about to come around the corner
with the years, Like, how did you okay? Whatever, that's
that's your sad movie power. Yeah, She's like, it's not
a useful superpower, but it's a superpower. But they um
so anyways, getting back to this political article. They it's
written by somebody who's a graduate of Liberty University, and
(35:41):
so they has had it well, they've just they're a journalist.
They've written for the New York Times, and they are
just dealing with like contexts they have right right right,
rong right ron. Anyways, the way that Jerry Follwell Jr.
Has chosen to deal with this is by trying to
get the FBI to investigate the writing of the story
(36:01):
because emails were leaked in connection with the story. So
that's your defense, that's his defense. How the heck did
people find out? What I say? It's a crime, I think.
And then the day after he said that, that's how
he was dealing with it. Reuter's had some emails from
them that they published where he Uh called one student
(36:26):
and emotionally imbalanced, emotionally imbalanced, and physically retarded, and called
the school's chief of police a half wit who is
easy to manipulate, like a like a villain, just bragging
about how easy it is for them to get away
with their crime. So there's also an amazing character named
(36:47):
Trey who's actually Jerry Fallwell the third. That's why he's
called Trey Uh. And he is a in addition to
being like having some big, you know, puffed up position
inside the Liberty University family is a Miami party boy
with a hostel and you know, always out at the club's.
(37:08):
Uh took a picture of twelve thousand dollars of cash
on his hotel bed in Manhattan when he went up
there with his homie to do a job for Michael
Cohen back when he was part of Trump's organization. Had
to delete that. There was also pictures of he and
his dad partying at a Miami nightclub. UH that they
(37:30):
had to get like taken down off the internet. Um,
that might be the best moment in the story. So, UH,
if you don't mind, I want to just read a
couple of excerpts from that. So there were images of
Jerry follow Jr. And his son Trey like going hard
in a nightclub a nightclub. On July fourteen, popular Swedish
(37:51):
DJ John dal Bach performed at wall A Nightclub in
Miami Beach. That night. The club happened to have a
photographer on site to grant candid shots of the revelry.
The photos were shared online by World Red Eye, an
outlet that documents Miami's nightlife scene. UH and Jerry and
Trey folwell were visible in some of the pictures. The
(38:11):
outlet identified Trey by name. In a statement on August
twenty one, Jerry Fallwell denied the existence of any photo
of him at the club. There was no picture snapped
of me at Wall Nightclub or any other nightclub. Fallwell wrote,
I'm sure you already knew that, though. When told that
I had obtained a photo of him for this article,
Fallwell said I was quote terribly mistaken. If you show
(38:34):
me the picture, I can probably help you out. He wrote,
I think you are making some incorrect assumptions, or have
been told false things, or are seeing something that was
photo shopped. The old it's probably photo shopped. After I
sent him the photo as well as a photo of
Trey at Wall, Fallwell responded, I never asked anyone to
(38:54):
get rid of any pictures on the Internet of me,
and I never have seen the picture you claim is
of me. But Low, if the person in the picture
is me, it was likely photoshopped, and a second email
sent twenty three minutes later, Fallwell wrote, But the bigger question,
Brandon is why would I want a picture like that
taken down if I had seen it, Which doesn't really
(39:14):
like make sense. He's clearly spinning out. They include the
picture you can like see Jerry Fallwell just like you know,
grinning stupidly amongst like a bunch of eighteen year old
like fucking seen kids. He looks like he's they're like
on molly or ye. Then he looks like he's gurning
or something. He's like chewing on like a fucking cocktail
(39:35):
straw like a dude? Is there another set after this?
According to several people at direct knowledge of the situation,
Fallwell the president of a conservative Christian college that frowns
upon co ed dancing parenthesies. Liberty students can receive demerits
if seen co ed dancing and prohibits alcohol use parenthesies
(39:57):
for which students can be expelled. Uh so puritan. According
to sources, he was angry that photos of him clubbing
made it online. To remedy the situation, multiple Liberty staffords said,
Folwell went to John Gauger twelve gauger Man, who may
characterize as his I T guy, and asked him to
downgrade the photos prominence on Google searches. Gaugor did not
(40:21):
respond to request for comment. Gauger has worked at Liberty
since earning his m b A, and it's basically like
his body Man and Fallwell essentially like asked him to
get the get them down in terms of their Google
search for you know, this s e O ship works,
right or this Google fucking crap dude, get just get
(40:41):
rid of it, like those pictures of a rod with
his shirt off, right exactly. They did a great job.
It's hard to find those picks. Gauger has also run
Redfinch LLC, on online business he founded that specializes in
search engine optimization. Uh and Liberty paid Redfinch twenty three
(41:02):
thousand dollars. So that's like the sort of underhanded, like
self dealing ship that they do. They have employees of
Liberty University who then have their own companies that Liberty
then pays out shiploads of money too. There's also a
lot of stuff where they are doing things that are
blatantly like in favor of Trump. For instance, they changed
(41:24):
the day that finals were on during an election year
because they wanted kids and like told kids to go
out and vote. Conservatives can't do that. Yes, well, good
to know that, Like, but I mean, yeah, that's what
scummy people do. It's just like what Trump does. Like
anybody who's running a fucking you know, uh, belowboard business.
(41:45):
You're like, yeah, I got fixtures on payroll, but they
have a consulting company I pay out. I call it.
I tell people he's my I T guy. Meanwhile, he's
a person who scrubs the Internet of like damaging shit
about us. Yeah, but if you so worried about the photo,
I can't he just shopping himself out of it. Right, exactly, chick, exactly,
you're deeply mistaken. Took care of it. Powerful tootal in
(42:07):
American politics, Yeah, yeah, dude, you know what they say,
the Sharpe's mightier. They do say that. Uh, let's talk
about this Russian spy who Trump outed or indirectly. Right,
So we talked last week about how that that weird
meeting in the Oval office with two Russian officials. Everyone like,
what the hell was that? And then he gave away
some intelligence secrets about someone who had infiltrated ISIS in
(42:30):
Syria blah blah blah. That essentially led to this revelation
that the CIA had cultivated a spy in the Kremlin
who had got to the point where he could just
see ship on Putin's desk. Like that's how deep this
guy got And eventually was the person who confirmed to
the CIA that yes, it was in fact Vladimir Putin
who had ordered the election meddling, like I heard, like,
(42:52):
I was there, that's how to do it. I'm in
this ship. So when he um was basically you know,
sort of out did in this thing. No one really
thought anything of it, but I think as a story
came out and they realized just how deep, you know,
the CIA had was able to you know, uh, cultivate
somebody or plant somebody Kremlin, they started getting shook. First
(43:14):
they were just sort of being like, oh, that's that's
a lie, dude, that would us No, no, we're spy proof,
and then to them reaching out to fucking Interpolgary study
this case and try and find him. Sure we know
what this means. Right, whenever someone crosses Putin in public
and they funk off to another country, all bets are
usually off. We've seen in the UK happened, We've been
(43:36):
to happen in many other places where people suddenly get
sick on a bench or some ship get stuck with
an umbrella or something. Drink after this, dude, I wouldn't
recommend it, right, And that's why again it was sort
of a bit of a of debacle because like the
news is the one who leaked his name out there
every other reports before, just like this asset, this asset
(43:58):
like Kendalinian, I believe, like into his house from NBC
and it was like, this is the guy's house. We
won't say his name, but say people can start putting
shipped together and eventually his name got out. And I
think once that happened, that specificity made the shame I
think real, because obviously the Kremlin knew this guy was
a spy because he was like he was extracted during
(44:19):
a family vacation in Montenegro, like that's when they got there. Like,
you know what, dude, he's out of Russia right now.
We think Trump might fucking like totally blow this guy's
cover or who knows, let's get him out. Brought him
to the US, and now his names they're out there
out loud, and now you're he's in the States right now.
What a brilliantly terrifying life. Yeah, being a spy, I've
(44:40):
always so fantasized about being a spy, especially as an actor. Right,
I can get into any row like right right, like
maybe get into the Kremlin I don't know, But the
terrifying truth is that like, oh, you're not on set,
like this is actual that will kill you, right exactly.
And you look at all those people that you know
(45:01):
and just sort of without any kind of or no consequence.
But to them, they act just unimpeded to be like,
I don't care what country you're in, we will we
will come onto your country's soil and do our work.
And I think that's the concern, is that like if
this guy's in the US, much like how in the
UK things have happened, and you know, like a lot
of the intelligence agencies there like this is Russia. But also,
(45:22):
how do we know it's not a double bluff? Right?
You know? What what if he what if he was
turned in the office? You know, I saw things on
Vladimir Putin's desk like a better offer, you know. And
if we if if the US can get someone you know,
that high up, could could it not be feasible that
there are some high up in the White House? Oh yeah, yeah,
(45:45):
an unintentional, unintentional asset that they found a willing idiot
to go along with. But again, I think this is
where it can get tricky, right, because that would be
a real international event. If this person who was an
intelligence asset who's in the US is somehow being attacked
on within the borders of the United States by a
(46:06):
foreign country. You know what's going to happen If Trump's
office will be like, you know, honestly, I don't like spies,
so an all fetis then you could put you know,
you play the other hand, right, you go, well, you
know America, that put a spy in that country, So
that's like what is it? What is And also like
let's be real, like like the US isn't coming after
people on other people's soil, right, I mean that's the
(46:28):
bigger picture. However, if we're just doing it this but
like the Russia are doing it in China, like that
becomes an international incident. I think we did do it
with a Chinese by like something o Huawei executive maybe
in China where we like and like that became a
whole thing. So like doing it on one of the
(46:49):
major powers soil is a big deal. That's why the
killing of that person in the UK was a big deal.
And you know they really if they funk with this person,
like it'll it'll be bad. Where the world. Quick shout
out to the CIA or m I five if you
are looking for someone to spy. You know how I
(47:10):
travel internationally doing stand up and acting. You know, my
car is already set now. I'm constantly in hotels making
notes on my little notepads. Right the jokes, hi Ami
or the or since your francophone, the d G s E.
I didn't know. Yeah, for external security. All right, we're
(47:36):
gonna take a quick break. We're gonna be right back, man,
And we're back and we're John doll back. Apparently that
DJ is so sick, so sick? Did you a danial? Uh?
(48:02):
He invented that drop what it sounds like when a
DJ orgasm. Let's talk about the Ignobel Prize, the spoof
Nobel Prize. Okay, I did not know this was a thing. Yeah,
they honor achievements that first make people laugh and that
make them thinks and okay, further establishing my ignorance. Didn't
know it started. It's been around this long. Were there
(48:24):
any so again this whole thing. I loved reading about
it because the whole thing is just a big joke
and bit but also with science that people are like,
you know, having fun with it. There's a award cereblony
features mini operas, scientific demos, and the seven Lectures, whereby
experts must explain their work twice, once in seconds and
(48:46):
the second in just seven words. Seven. Um. Yeah, and
I didn't realize how jokey yet serious a lot of
the research was, right, Yeah, it's it's essentially that's why
you haven't heard of it. It's like it's not technically
life changing science, but it's just fun that someone decided
to do it. You know, there's eight billions of us
(49:07):
on the planet. One person's got time to maybe do
something really stupid that we don't need, but that once
we know, that's cool. Yeah and could send up set
off a whole other chain of thought research. Yeah. Well,
I wouldn't see one of the awards ceremonies in London
a few years back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it was
about this guy that one measured the testicle lengths of
(49:28):
both the right and left testicles on statues around Europe
and stuff, so which one dangles the most? And it
was quite funny that, you know, he did some measuring
of all the statues and their balls and why one
would hang more than the other, and well on which one,
and how would they know? And do nudes statues of
Zeus like have big or like Moses like big old balls?
(49:50):
Do they have big old balls? I don't know. I
think that they're they're like you know now, they're they're
pretty sort of zoosalls. Yeah, I didn't wondered because old
men balls like I've I've been in a y m
C a changing room. I've seen some specific but uh,
you know, dangled to knee length. Now that that's all
like Samil, you know if the recalled day the nice
(50:12):
and ly wrapped right as if it looked like one bowl. Well, yeah,
this was funny because one of the prizes is almost
a follow up to the question of the really made
me think, let's start off with physics, because this is
a question I actually recently had. So physics Ignoble prize
was for studying how and why wombats make cube shaped poo.
(50:37):
We have a rabbit who our neighbors have a rabbit
that gets loose in our yard all the time, and uh,
ships out all these tiny, little, perfectly round pebbles, and
I mean that's what rabbit shit is. And I have
spent a lot of time picking that up and wondering
(50:58):
what about their anatomy, like is that is there something
evolutionarily beneficial to having round poop? Like does it smell
or something? Right? I did want that when you said cube,
I wonder I wonder if like if it fulls, it
means that it doesn't roll away. Well, this is what
it looks like. Yeah, so like if it's a cubed pooh,
(51:20):
then it would just stay in position. Well, a bowl
one for example, the dung beel, it's a bowl and
they can push it around. But a square you don't
have square wheels on a skateboard the building blocks of
a shitty house, right, Um, I think, well what they
the answer? Well, the conclusion they came to was really
about the shape and flexibility of the intestines of a
wombat and then also dry environments that they live in.
(51:43):
So I mean, I guess what the knock on effect
of this research is that it could help for manufacturing
industries to kind of like, you know, find new techniques
for creating cube shape products. I guess yeah, I guess
they weren't looking into evolutionary biology. Could you imagine if
they're making little ship glues like iglues with their cube
(52:04):
Stai ships. They could like stack in the really beautifully
cube shaped. They do a good job. They look like, um,
I'm trying to think of what it is, like a
hy chew candy that was in your pocket for a
little too long, kind of slightly melted, but it's not
it's not perfect angularly speaking, but you get the gist.
I think I'm right about rabbit poop because fear has
(52:25):
the least surface area. Boom out right, So let's step
just credit to the prize. Probably smells less, there's less
of it on the outside to smell, so uh you
know they because like that is one way that predators
will track prey is based on like the scent of
(52:45):
their ship. I just picture you looking at this rabbit
ship like in your backyard, like a magnified glassman, like
you thinking about, like Jack, what are you doing the house? Okay?
Why is it? I don't know what could it be?
Rabbits donk? Rabbits also eat their own poop, and so
wouldn't it be easier to like eat spherical food, dogs eat,
(53:10):
cat puppies eat their own ship? And that's because it's
very That's how I knew the thing about predators tracking
based on I know that's how you know? It's because
they're milky. Poo smells very strongly and makes it very
easy to track puppies. So that's why they adapted the
(53:30):
habit of eating puppy Katie Golden from Creature Feature And
for me, because my dog was eating cats. Ship is
that there's a high high fat content cat droppings which
makes it delicious to a dog somehow and a good
not just oh great, oh superos around a hose. And
he asked me if I eat the rabbit poop, and
I do not. He tastes them, it doesn't eat them
(53:52):
big yeah, and then rinses his mouth out immediately. The
thing I do want to say, like you're talking about
test testicles is back for the Anatomy Prize. Okay, test
schools is back there back baby from the prize went
to these researchers who actually I think they're French because
they were studying French young French postmen for this study
(54:14):
to figure out the scrotal temperature in asymmetry in naked
and clothed postmen in France was the award very specifically specific. Wait,
do your balls change shape based on whether you're naked
or clothed. I think they were just trying to see,
like if you have clothes on and there's maybe some
heat feedback, like what's that? What's that do to your
ball temperature or your sack temp? But wait, gentlemen, do
(54:35):
you ever when laying in bed naked and you've let
someone sort of rub their hand from your ankle up
to your groinig area everywhere? That's what you're saying. No,
that's wow, what are you gonna Well, as you move
your the hand up, as you get to around the knee,
(54:57):
the ball very quickly hides. Have you ever done that? Yeah,
it's like a sort of like if an insect or
snakes will win up your leg, your balls protect immediately.
It's very difficult to do it yourself. You can do,
but ultimately yourself, your brain goes, well, that's my hands
and that's scared. But stranger, Yeah, if you get someone
(55:17):
else just rub rub your leg very gently, your balls
go in. It's a really quite wonderful thing to do
between two lovers. So this is the thing what they're saying,
is like you were saying when you're asking about the
drop length of the scrotum and the testicles within the
scrotum there. Okay, so it is that that has been
researched and they think it's probably to prevent collision between
(55:38):
the two testicles or maybe if you have more effective cooling.
But it seemed like something with the left one on
a high like on a at a higher rate was
typically the hotter ball. M So you know left is
hotter ball. Yeah, on average. I mean, look again, these
aren't these aren't real studies. These are more like kind.
(56:00):
But that's the way that they could have said I
sort of like unequivocally that it's like that. But yeah,
did you know that the David U Michael Angelo's the
David has a The David has a small penis because
he's supposed to be about to fight Goliath. Goliath. Yeah,
it's like supposed to be right before. And you can,
(56:20):
like if you get up close, his eyes are like
really wide, like and his like all his like vascular
structures like really like flush. So like that's why, like
he doesn't just have a small penis. It's like Michael
Angelo was, it's not just Michael Angelo was like, this
is you know, he's got the because he's feeling fear.
(56:43):
It's supposed to being Yeah, thanks for speaking of Italy.
The prize in Medicine was given to people who were
collecting evidence that pizza might protect against illness and death
if the pizza is made and eaten in Italy. I mean,
this just sounds like it was done to queue up
one of your stores. No it's not, because that would
(57:04):
be Naples, the home of a really great pizza. But
this is neither here nor there. The deal is these
these researchers started in two thousand three where they investigated
whether ingesting Italian pizza can protect against cancer, that's the
biggest thing. Then two thousand four whether pizza could offset
the risk of acute mile cardial in Farction, And in
(57:24):
two thousand six again they built on their work in
two thousand three to study whether eating pizza reduced the
risk of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. They were all
basically like, there's no way for us to know, but
we did just sort of test these people who ate
pizza in Italy. I wonder if they considered the placebo
effect of eating a pizza in Italy, because if you
go into Italy, you know you want to eat some spaghetti,
(57:46):
You want to eat a pizza because you're in Italy
when Rome right, and so the joy of eating a
pizza in Italy and from the Colosseum bring you so
much more extra joy than just eating a pizza, you know,
out of a Ralph's fraser, out of warming. Maybe that
maybe just frozen just right there, red baron it and
(58:07):
eat itself. If yeah, I do wonder, yeah, if this
has something to do with this just being like peak
human joy like that or the Mediterranean diet or you know,
whatever that could be. But I mean it just seems
weirdly specific. I think that's what they should have done,
is test people who might not who aren't Italian, because
(58:27):
then there's a little bit of more wonder and whimsy
for being in Italy and seeing if that gives something
to people. I would love it, if you know, I
said love it. You know if someone had cancer in
Italy and just went to a doctor and went, well,
I can prescribe you a nice thank you sir. It's
like this, are they just like trying to create Italian jokes,
(58:48):
bring back Italian jokes jokes by Italian people. All right,
let's talk about the medical education one. Um, Okay, I
think this is interesting because this one was about using
a simple and like a like clicker training for animals,
if that can train surgeons to perform orthopedic surgery. Uh.
And so what they want to do is two specific
(59:08):
surgical task, tying the locking sliding knot and making a
low angle drill hole. And what they did was just
sort of using the effectiveness of this clicker that's usually
for animals, but the clicker serves as a conditioned reinforcer
that communicates in a way that is language and judgment free.
So the result was the clicker trained group of medical
students took more time to learn the tasks than the
(59:30):
control group, but they were better at performing the tasks precisely.
And if you're talking about surgery, baby, it's all precision. Yeah.
So a next time you go into any kind of
orthopedic surgery, ask if they've been clicker trained. But also,
it's not just hypnotist. I mean that's what hYP hypnotist
story like. They still click you and it still gives
you a sense of tempo in your mind, even if
(59:51):
you don't really realize that subconsciously keeps track of time.
I don't know if it's me. It's about tempo. More
so like if when the mistakes made or you do well,
you hear the clicker to just sort of create that
connection oral reinforcement or something. Yeah, but that isn't that
That's a form of hypnosis, is what I'm saying. Yeah,
Hell yeah, I don't know. Man. Look, I'm just I
don't even I don't know about the ignobles until right now.
(01:00:13):
I'm ignorant, okay or in Italy. Uh. Well, ship, Eric
has been a pleasure ahead. Thanks for having me. Yeah,
you're a real artist man. You've been drawing like really
cool ship this whole time. Can we sell this? Yeah,
the charity if you want? Um? Yeah? Sure. Where can
people find you? Follow? You find me on Instagram because
(01:00:36):
I hate Twitter whole Facebook. I've also got an album
Alien of Extraordinary Ability. You can buy it, but if not,
it's free on Spotify. I have a show called Born
of Chaos, which I'm doing in Los Angeles on the
September and October at the Broadwater Theater. And it's like
it's mainly comedy, but there is some tragedy, so I'm
enjoying I really genuinely. It was the show I did
(01:00:58):
at the End Festival and him, I'd say, for the
first time in my career, proud of a project. Does
that make sense? Like not like before the shows were good,
you know, the shows were funny, like Alien of Extraordinary
ability of the album it's funny, but it's not really
saying anything. It's a good hour. I mean that is
the blurb on the cover right, not really saying it,
(01:01:20):
but it'll make you laugh. So this is the show
I'm proud, So I would love it, I know. Yeah,
it's tough when you're a creator because sometimes you don't
allow yourself to like sort of pat yourself on the
back or feel fully confident some of the work you made.
So yeah, yes, it feels good for experience and for Boise.
We did a show called Comedian Cinema Club where we
(01:01:41):
recreate movies live on stage. We did Princess Bride and
it was sold out, and so we decided to come back.
So we're back on the eleventh of January to do
Labyrinth in Boys and then we're hopefully going to be
doing a little tour around the Midwest and Chicago. So
he's sick. If you want to see comedians getting and
can recreate movies, get in touch with me. I love you.
(01:02:03):
Are you going to be David Bowie? Oh yeah, of
course I'll be David. Alright, man, la la what um?
What if? Boys? You do to deserve this? This masterful comedy. Well,
I just got invited to the to the two oh
eight Comedy Festival, and I just brought my humor and
turns out the Americans like it. Is there a tweet
(01:02:26):
you've been enjoying? Oh? No, I know, okay, is there
any Honestly, don't like Twitter. In fact, I only now
follow six people and they're all cinema based things because
it got a little bit too much. And I'm trying
to be aware of the things that are going on
in the world while at the same time having to
try and take care of my mental health. And if
(01:02:46):
I keep reading stuff about Brexit and Trump and stuff,
it becomes very difficult because I'm like, Trump and Boris
and other people around the world are a bunch of
sea words. You're filling the chaos bucket in your subconscious
with the media tea, and so I'm just trying to
just chill out on Twitter. Is never I think about
a good place for that. That's why I gotta listen
(01:03:06):
to the daily Like, guys, it's uh, Miles, where can
people find you in as their tweet you've been enjoyed.
Oh boy, watch out guys, Twitter and Instagram onto your
buttoles in particular, because the pood that's coming out is
not round or cubicle till. It's a mess. It's a mess.
It's loose, baby, the stool is loose. Shout out to
(01:03:30):
Dr Lisa Swan for identifying the problem. Now let's see
at Miles great Twitter, Instagram so tweets I like at
Molly Lambert. Thank god, being a redhead exempts me from
the are you the blonde scammer or the brunette scammer?
Binary parentheses? All redheads are scammers. Um. Then there was
another one from so you know with that whole fiasco
(01:03:54):
with Shane Racist whatever the funk that dude his name is?
Who was Yeah, come with all the really just hilarious
border boundary pushing racist comedy. Andrew t was quoting. He said,
like he tweeted about it. He said, who is going
to be the first one to write the Rob Schneider
Asian erasure hot take? But deep down, someone who's listening
(01:04:17):
this is Dylan Clark Moore. I think we listened to
the show as well. At Dylan Clark, Moore said, I
keep hearing this in the Ninja Turtles theme and he
wrote it as the logo, and it says Rob Schneider
Asian erasure, oh Man heroes that are half Asian turtle power.
He's actually a quarter Uh. Yeah, you know, look, we're
(01:04:40):
not here to check blood que um. Uh. Some tweets
I've been enjoying. Megan Amran Uh just retweeted one of
her old tweets with the word important. Uh, and her
old tweet was, yeah, sure, I like Sorkin sorking my
own dick, which is one of the most important tweets
of all its time. I think Aaron would appreciate a
(01:05:02):
well phrased tweets um, and then went to at Drill
said I love saying ship like yeah, this kitten's got
claws whenever a woman stabs me thirty eight times in
the neck and chest. Uh. You can find me on
Twitter at check on our scar o. Bryan. You can
find us on Twitter at Daily Zeykeeist. Were at the
Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We have Facebook fan page and
(01:05:26):
a website, Daily Zeitgeist dot com. We post our episodes
and our footnote. So I talk now that we have
a hundred episodes out bitches seasons, five hundred episodes. That's
what it is. Uh, Blake, Sorry, I wanted to There
was another tweet that I was looking for that I found.
(01:05:47):
Blake Wexler tweeted things that most often mumbled to myself
on a daily basis. Uh. One goddamn it to Jesus
fucking Christ. Three, holy goddamn shit for nice bangs, idiot
five But oh my fucking god, I have four of those.
I do not say holy goddamn ship under my breath,
but all the other ones and nice bangs, Yeah, nice
(01:06:10):
nice bang bang? What the like? In what context do
you would you sincerely some freaking bang? Like, are you
like a competitive hair stylist and someone else gets a
prisingly ends? Yeah? Sounds like an eighties movie. Ye. Also,
Mike Drucker inspired my ak today with this tweet. Joker
(01:06:31):
should end with him getting a serious XM show where
he just complains about being silenced. H And I think
that's probably gonna happen with this SML fucker. What song
are we going to ride out on? Oh? A song
we're writing on it. Today is um a track called
one Day You're just grape Stomping Dan. It's from an

it's called one Day. It's just a very it's look.
(01:07:14):
It's a head NodD sort of dilla jazz sample instrumental track.
But the chord progression, I don't know if you like
to sing, it almost makes you want to sing over it.
That's why I like it, because I'm we we all

(00:23):

wa my drooling feelings? Mac? How did my litter red
Mexic milk calms my growing dread? I wish I felt

Nickelback Photography. Thank you very much. But we're thrilled to
be doing Inner third Sea year hilarious comedian and talented
(01:28):
performer Mr Eric Lampere. Hello, Hello, gentlemen, Hello Eric, thanks
for having me again and again and again. Guys, it's
so good to have you back. Like I'm a home here. Yeah,
and you guys on my mom and dad mom, which
it doesn't matter, you could be both my dad. I
provide look, I provide feminine and masculine energy to everything
(01:50):
in turn. Yeah, and then they in turn love receiver loving,
so as too, are you. It's like something about Mary. Yeah.
When I was in Nepal, they killed me Kim Tati,
which made me give it love. Something about Mary. I
(02:10):
feel like it's sort of an under overlooked Jim maybe
at least the character of pat Healy pet. I think
pat Heally is one of the best scumbags ever. Was
the one that had lex risis and stuff. No, that
was Chris Elliott's character, Woogie Don Wiganowski. Pat Healy was
a private investigator played by Matt Dillon. Uh. Well, Eric,
we're gonna get to know you a little bit, better,
(02:31):
catch up with you, find out what you've been up to.
But first we're going to take our listeners through a
couple of things. We're talking about today right wing propaganda
is getting scary. We're gonna talk about a couple of
examples of that. We're going to talk about the real
reason that Trump's Energy Department just announced that they were
scrapping those energy efficient lightbulbs. It's I hadn't heard this.
(02:56):
It's interesting. Well, finally I like that sign. It is
actually dictating some of the policy. Yes, that's right. Uh,
we're gonna talk about the Liberty University clusterfuck, the JF
two Jerry Folwell Jr. And the Politico expose is just
(03:16):
an incredible story and proves that the Righteous Gemstones is
actually too understated. It's it's not over the top enough.
We are going to talk about that Russian spy who
had to be pulled out of Russia. We're gonna talk
about the Ignoble Prizes. I love those. Yeah. So I
(03:41):
just found out about this, Yeah I have. As I
read them, I'm like, I actually looked at talking about
you heard about this? He's like, yeah, yeah, bro, not
up on my science at all. Sorry. Uh, yeah, I've
worked on the internet for a Yeah, heard of it. Uh.
And we're gonna talk about popeye'es too. Is there the
(04:01):
solution is that they've come up with a solution to
your problem. They've come up to a non solution to
a problem that shouldn't have ever existed. They should just
be selling wonder bread up front eventually. Yeah, but first, Eric,
we like to ask our guests. Oh, I know, we'd
like to ask what's something from your search history, Bro,
(04:21):
that sort of last thing I searched was the thirty
one best final Shots in Horror Movies. It's just it's
just an article I think by one picture dot com um.
And I quite like studying film and cinemotography. Yeah, And
the opening shot in the final shot always intrigues me
because there's a reason, well, there should be a reason,
(04:42):
if the director is good or the storyteller is good,
that there should be a reason as to why we're
seeing that right. And I'm really starting to think, I
think Hollywood's getting to me, Bro. But I'm really fascinated
by not just the story, but why isn't the mind
the director, Why the director choose that frame over the
(05:03):
myriad of millions of frames? That possibility was there specific
film that kind of you were impressed by that you
didn't think was actually is? Now he's he's my shame.
I googled it to read for later. So example, Uh,
next time I'm back, I will up you what happens
(05:25):
transparency exactly? Yeah? I like that. That um the idea
of like thinking of every shot in a movie as
like an individual painting, where everything in the frame was
decided for a reason. Uh, that's like, that's when I
really got I had a film studies professor who was like,
(05:45):
nothing is there by accident, and I have since learned
that that's not necessarily true, but it's just from a
viewer's perspective, it's a good way to think about movies
that everything has meaning. So like, like someone said that
they found Roma boring, did you look at it? Which
And in a way, I'm like, you know, fair enough.
(06:07):
Some people don't have time to watch as many movies.
That's how I do, right, But I said, I said,
I was like, no, no, but rewatch it and ask
yourself why that opening shot, for example, took so long?
Right where you just saw this sort of blood being
washed or was it was it blood or poop? I
think it was, Yeah, it was a dog poop. And
why did it take so long? Why was this so
(06:28):
almost why was it in a way so boring, right,
I think it was her daily life. We were experiencing
a little bit of her daily life and how like
monotonous it is. I think there's layers right to getting
more engaged with film and watching film. The first is this,
like is it entertaining based on me opening my eyes
and aiming them at the screen. And then from there, yeah,
can you pick up on the nuances and the acting
(06:50):
and then the cinematography itself, because when you start really
appreciating you'll go back to other films, especially if you
begin to identify directors of cinematographers and you're like wow,
when when you realize the intention of things, it adds
so much more meaning. And oh yeah, like the language,
you know, it's it's you know, if you can study
a little bit of French and Gohli a tech you know,
where is the library comes up all of a sudden,
(07:14):
it's like, oh, baby, like fluid French. I feel like
you made love to by the French language. Uh Man,
that part in Roma I was just you bring it up.
It was just making me think of the part where
they like go to the country to like stay at
those people's house. That's like a, oh man, what what
(07:35):
a sequence of just I don't know, guys watching you
check that sh it out. It's like or start, you know,
start small, start noticing when you see long master shots
like with no cuts. That was my first foray into
under like as a stoner college you know, like yo,
I think I was just all like one take right,
I feel like, dude, I think this is all just
(07:55):
whoa dude? They went in the pool and then came out.
I don't think they or like Snake Eyes also has
one in the opening. Yeah, but one of the best
long ever is when Chief Brody is walking with the
mayor in Jaws and he's walking along the beach and
the mayor is like, I don't want to close the
(08:16):
I don't want to close the beach and stuff like that,
and then they sort of walk up and then they
walk by the billboard where then and then they continue.
But that the choreography of where the three actors are
moving while the camera's moving. Yeah, I don't sit here
and talk to a guy who's lining up to be
a hot lunch. Wow, somebody from the scripture, what is
(08:41):
something you think is overrated? Overrated? How about other people's opinion. Yeah, yeah,
I love other people's stories. I love other people's thoughts
and behaviors and why, like, for example, they have those
thoughts and why they has those behaviors? Where did that
come from? I I love every single person's story, but
when they come at me on the internet with an
(09:03):
opinion of my own perception and my own reality, I
sometimes go, how about you just kill yourself a little bit,
because it's quite frustrating when you For example, I was
called homophope while I was I was on set. I
was I was doing a comedy comedy Nate, and I
was doing a set about the time I did some
feluci felacio on a man's pens, and my opinion was
(09:26):
it wasn't for me, right, And I was sharing that, hey,
not for me, for other people great trying it, got
the T shirt and interested, and I think because obviously
I was bringing lightedness and humor to my own experience
about how I wasn't into it by experience experimentation, and
I was like, I tried to finish just to make
him happy, and you know, like, yeah, I st brought
(09:49):
light to it. And then this guy was clearly triggered
and clearly bullied a lot at school by his own experience.
He just heard me making light like light of sucking
dig essentially, and he was really upset. And I tried
to be kind and listen, and after a while I went,
you know what, mate, you're not listening to me. Well,
that's the thing. And I think a lot of people
to expect their opinion to affect another person by voicing it, right,
(10:12):
because we're sort of raised from children to look at
feedback from our parents first and be like, okay, how
do I adjust? And you're always looking at feedback, feedback, feedback, opinions.
And then at a certain point, like when you sort
of realize who you are, those are like, you know,
those don't need to inform your own movement as a
human being, how you take the world in. But a
lot of people still feel entitled to, you know, controlling
(10:35):
or at least thinking that let me say this thing
to control this or check this person. And you know,
and and the way he was talking to me there
was there's a little bit of moment of sadness in
a way, because the way he was talking to me
was like I was the bully at school. I was
his bully. At schoolure and I kept thinking, I didn't
say any of this to him, but I was like, man,
I lived in seven countries before the age of twelve.
(10:57):
Me be getting bullied about my identity was my entire childhood,
just because it wasn't a sexual thing, but it was
more you know what it's like to be seen as different.
And but he I knew that at the moment, he
was just fired up and didn't want to listen, and
I was like, oh, mate, yeah, all right, I think
that's interesting that you kind of the other option is
(11:17):
like telling your story, Like if he had come to
you and been like, this is my story and then
like make of it what you will, as opposed to
just there's something so like like literally ego centered of opinion,
like that's like this is how I see it, and
you're trying to force that very specific because because he
really got he really got in my face, and I
(11:40):
was just aware that, oh, he's clearly got some pain
from childhood. Yeah, because I put a little bit thought
into it. But if I was just present with him
and I would just be like, I would get defensive.
He was being told to me and so you ignore
people's opinion, Well, if you know they're wrong. It's not
even that you don't need to explain yourself to people
(12:03):
all the time. And I think we're used to explaining
ourselves all the time, Like I said, like when you know,
like I do this because of this or whatever. But
at a certain point, I mean, as long as you're
not being like evil or something and someone is just misconstruing,
maybe you're like what you're saying or what they believe
you to be. But that's our own desire, right for
our egos because we don't want to feel like we're
(12:24):
misunderstood by another person, because then our identity in this
person's eye is not what we believe it should be.
So then we're they're activating our own egoship. And it's
more like, you know what, you can think, I'm living
my truth here. I know that emanates from within me first,
and if you if you can't, you know, pick up
what I'm transmitting, then that's on you. You You know what
I mean. I gotta keep it moving because I'm here
to make make make love, and make peace. There's nothing
(12:47):
more boring than listening to an artist explain their work
like in their opinion, what it means, like why they
did something as but their work is brilliant, So like,
just do whatever your version of art is. Don't don't
like give yeah, yeah, life is art. Live your life
like a work of art. Wow, what is something you
(13:07):
think is underrated? I didn't write anything just philosophically. You
just mean, like just on the premise nothing's underrated? Well,
you know there is. I guess there is a place
for everything, right, there is sometimes like is it underrated?
Is it not? And you know this is my what
how many times have I been here may before? Underrated things? Now, yeah,
(13:29):
there's a lot of things. You were just in Boise, Idaho.
How did you like Boise? I loved it. Oh shout
out to Sarah from Boise, Okay to my show, Yeah
Boys was wonderful. Caitlyn Gill had a comedian She did
a great sort of observation about how, uh they wear
the T shirts of their own town. That's how much.
That's how much people in Idahoans love their city and state.
(13:51):
They wear T shirts of their own city and state.
Were they wearing the schools shirts or just straight up
just boys just like this like the picture of the state,
for example, is there a football feel still blue, I
think so, Yeah, good branding. Is that Boise state by state?
I believe you not even impossible to have a Boisey
state since Boise is not a state but a city. Look, man,
I got a lot of taps. Maybe Boise state as
(14:15):
in Boise state of mind. Yeah, welcome to Boise, New
York state of mind. I'm trying to think of, like
what the slogan for Boise would be, but I don't
know ship about Boise, so why would I know what
the slogan for boys. I'm guessing it's I think it's
an agricultural one. So it's it is like the Latin
is like reap and you shall receive, you know, the
(14:36):
motto of Boise City of Trees, it's bloo. It's what
is the myth? What's something people think it is true?
You know? To be false? Hey? Bro? Concept? Like have
you ever considered our concepts aren't real? Are you making
fun of me right now? Bro? But like, but again,
(15:01):
I was like, oh, it's my fourth or fifth time here,
and I need to come up with another myth that
I can debunk, you know, because I was like, there's
plenty of myths out there, but one that can debunkum,
and I just thought, based on what I've experienced this year,
I was like, it proved to me that any concept
that you actually experienced is real, you know, so you
can read something so that the example I use as
(15:22):
I think Jenny the neuroscientist, Right, she can be in
a black and white room and learn about the color red, right, everything,
the radio wave, you know, how it can be used.
It represents love but also danger, all of those things.
But until she steps out that room and actually sees
the color red, she hasn't had the full information, right,
And so then it becomes this really interesting thing where
you go, Okay, I've studied my entire life this thing
(15:45):
that exists out there in the universe or past the universe,
or about time and stuff. But until you really experience it,
like for people that make beers. Right, you can make beer,
you can put the ingredients in your write, water, barley,
all of that delicious, but until you're like drunk on,
you haven't had the full experience of beer. And so
(16:06):
it makes creatively speaking and actually philosophically speaking and stuff,
and actually maybe to involve as a human being, it's
interesting to start thinking about the concepts that you believe
in and then maybe see if you can break them
down to truly understand the universe. How do you experirecome
Alan Watts. But yeah, it's true. I think that the experience.
(16:27):
I mean, we can know so many things intellectually right,
but like, but experience even just even adding experiences even
to your point might not be something you think you
need or don't need or whatever, but just always giving
yourself new stimulation through experience can lead a tremendous growth time.
Time is measured by change, right, and so for example,
of brain will always measure something for the first time,
(16:50):
so you always remember like your first kiss and first this,
first that. And as you get older, people are more
and more afraid of doing more first, and their full
time sort of moves in this of like kind of way,
which is why you should constantly keep your challenging yourself
to experience first, or read about first, or do more first,
because then all of a sudden, your memory bank just
keeps feeling because your brain goes this is first. That's
(17:13):
why people in the car crush they say, like it
moved slowly, bro, I don't know why. Hanging out A
lot of freshman philosophy student who just took a bong
hit um. Yeah, but yeah, stimulate your mind, yeah, because
it's true, like you know, you can you can go
to that same bar for the nine hundredth time. That's
(17:34):
not going to really necessarily open up something new in
your memory, but you might remember trying like ship, maybe
I'll will go to this weird grunge show even though
I'll grunge all the time. I'm trying to do that
with music too now, because I like music, but there's
some genres of music I'm like, I don't know if
I'm interested in seeing a live show of this, because
I wouldn't really listen to it normally. But I'm more like, no,
you know what, like taking the experience of seeing this
(17:56):
other form of the thing is well. Taking in the experience,
even if you don't really fit, know you don't like it,
just be chill, enjoy it, take it all in. It's
quite fun. Well, being just uncomfortable typically leads to a
huge growth or something like you know, like even when
you're a kid, right like when I was playing sports,
I would when I had to. When I was good
enough to play with like a lot older kids in hockey,
Like I was very scared because I was like, these
(18:17):
kids are two years older than me, and like when
you're twelve, that's like a whole fucking universe of size.
But but that experience to be uncomfortable like forced me
to improve or whatever. It's like anything, just put yourself
in uncomfortable positions and you will prevail. Yes, yes, all right,
let's talk about there's a couple of pieces of right
wing propaganda that are starting to make the right seem
(18:40):
a little scarier than they seemed before I saw them before.
I mean, yeah, they've been frightening me for a while. Right.
So there was an ad that ran in New York
and Houston and one other city during the debate that
was a photograph of AOC and it says, this is
(19:02):
the face of socialism and then lights it on fire
and then like it burns away and there's like pictures
of like skulls and dead people underneath, and um, I
guess the idea. This is from a pack led by
a woman who got totally tuned up in the two
thousand eighteen mid terms. Yeah, but she became famous anyway
(19:23):
because her violent ads got banned from Facebook, So like
she became a figure of you know, the right wing
being able to say that their voice is being held
back because because she's an Asian woman, she's like the
poster child of like, I'm a minority who fox with
Trump yes, and her kind of origin stories that her
(19:44):
parents were almost killed in the Cambodian killing fields. I think, yeah,
and all of that to just run. I mean, but that,
but that was done by the Khmer rouge and who's
famously wearing rouge. I mean about as similar as you
get to, like that's you might as well just be like, well,
(20:07):
what what color were they wearing? Because like the for
all the similarities that AOC has to the version of
communism or socialism, I've never understood this right, So some
Americans don't want to listen to me understandably because you're
not from here. Bro, Why why does I say? Right?
Seriously here? So many people get angry at me when
(20:29):
I just tell them, just so you know, I come
from a place where I pay less tax and I
get healthcare. Just chill out with the socialism. Stop paying
a dirty word on it. It's it's I don't know yet,
I don't know. I genuinely my mind is boggled. Low
bills you want little bills, you want lower bills. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(20:50):
I folk with that. Great, that's what we're doing. Get
your low bills out of my state. Yeah, I don't
want lower I want higher bills. Really, it's my freedom
to pay more money. But yeah, I think that's the
thing too, because you know the America, you know, at
one point capitalism did work for a large number of people,
and then that proportion has completely fallen off and as
different and I think you know we've been or not.
(21:12):
I mean, many people have been conditioned to hear those
is like existential threat buzzwords of like conym so called
social whatever that is. It's just you know stuff. But
then meanwhile you have candidates like this who you know,
just it really pains me when I see the like
minorities who are really trying to like use their existence
(21:35):
to try and soften Trump's racism or be like well,
you know, I think this is fine, or like he's
actually chill as I support him, um, And it's just
it's very disingenuous. If you know, like if you're on
the right and you have an opinion and you phrase
it in a way that's just like, hey, the reason
I think like this is because of this and you're
chill about it, people will listen. If you're shouting in
(21:56):
someone's face, you've already lost, mate, You've already if you
if you you know well, I think typically even calmly,
if you engage somebody on talking about socialism who is
like on the right, they typically only have like three
examples to point to, which is interesting because one of
the one most people who are into very like lazy
discourse will just be like, what about Venezuela? Man as
(22:20):
like this very extreme example, completely removing all nuance as
to the history of the country, the how what the
Western world's part is, and uh, you know, pushing that
country in that direction and things like that. Um, and
that was That was what I thought was interesting about
the debates is when uh, I forget which one of
the hosts or the moderators basically frame that question to
(22:41):
Bernie Sanders to be like, help explain this, because most
people the first thing they're gonna be like, well, what
about socialism? And people die? You're in favor of Venezuela.
That's what you want my kids to be like to
have to fight people away from their mango tree with
a crossbow. Yeah, um my kid angle become Venezuela. Um. Well,
(23:04):
so that add from that pack during the debates got
uh a like boycott ABC trending on Friday. Um, but
there was another ad that was that kind of flew
under the radar that Rudy Giuliani tweeted that. So it
opens with like a close up on a CoP's face
(23:26):
and he's facing down um anti basically anti socialists there
and they're just like you know, enraged and have signs
that are like down with the police, the police state FTP,
FTP police are fascists, yes, and uh And then it
like flashes back to him as a you know, younger
(23:51):
man being sworn in like just various like moments of
American patriotism, and then as a child, uh wit saying
nine eleven happened. And then it like cuts back cuts
back to him and he gets this look of determination
on his face and like pushes down his police visor
and like whips out this like giant like baton and
(24:14):
it's like come on, mother, Like it's like this like
called to arms of like murder. It's wildly ethic. I mean,
like I'm not gonna lie by the way, bar blows
out the production value of most dumb shit I've seen
like this from right, like the like they had extras,
good that there might have been a second unit. I
(24:35):
don't know, Oh, I think so, like a kid who
looked like the cop to play the younger version of
the Cops. Like they nailed it things. I already want
to see the opening and final shelf with that video now.
And yes, I'll give you a guess as to what
is playing on the audio track. It's like Sweetheme Alabama,
but done slowly, Sweet Home to be an American. Oh beautiful,
(25:03):
like a horror of child's child's voice. Jack in the
Bucks music exactly, Um, Jack O'Brien in the books. That's right. Hey,
oh man, Well, like I said last week, man, just
great police state porn for anybody. Was like, yeah, man,
that's what I wanted. So that's what I have to
(25:24):
do to beat up people I don't agree with. Become
a cop, right cool? Yeah, great recruiting tool. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back
and we're back. So the story. Last week, Trump's Energy
(25:46):
Department announced they're scrapping new efficiency standards for light bulbs,
which isn't that surprising because it's something that was finalized
by Obama, first implemented by famous lefty George W. Bush.
Is that how like lame they are on the list
of shit Obama did that They've gone through like the
big ship. And I'm like, all right, what else we got? Uh?
(26:08):
This is a light bulb thing. Yeah, fuck it, fuck it,
suck it. But a lot of people are piste off because, uh,
this standard would have saved consumers billions of dollars and
prevented millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Uh. And
so people you know, not surprisingly or like wait, so
why are we doing this? And uh? Last Monday at
(26:32):
a rally, Trump said the quiet part out loud as
he is wont to do and said he looks better
under an incandescent light. And he prefaced that statement by saying,
I'm not a vain person, but uh. And then the
following Thursday, he blamed the led light bulbs for his
orange skin tone. He said, the bulb that we're being
(26:55):
forced to use number one to me, most importantly, the
light's no good. I was look orange, and so do you.
The light is the worst, and so do you? Just
so not he's not orange, you're orange. Uh. I mean
like when you start arguing like it's the color temper.
The color tempers are working up my whole existence. He's
(27:16):
thinking about cinematography. Yeah, he's like a gaffer. Now he's like, yeah,
we shouldn't like this with incandescent. Actually in two thousand six,
so it's that's does that track? No? Why am I
even asking if not? Because he's been changing. It's been
orange since like two thousand three. People actually looked into
(27:38):
this like when did he first turn orange? And it
actually goes back to before the Apprentice? I think, what
do we when the Apprentice started? And also Facebook, So
that's when he turned orange. And it was around the
time that a business partner of his who he was
like going in on an investment with at that time,
(27:59):
I think they were buying the General Electric building together.
They said they were buying the general election that also happened,
but he that person bought a new Sunshine, which was
a company that makes tanning beds and also tanning uh
spray spray tan And around that time, suddenly Trump turned orange.
(28:23):
People are like, huh, dude, the presidential sheets at the
White House must get stained with what he washes them.
He's like, no, I'm gonna I'll do it myself. Wasn't
there something about that? Like he had this weird thing
he didn't want people's looking at his sheets or towels
or something. I don't know. Everything just blends together these days,
(28:45):
but I like that it's born out of I wonder
what that guy like. When Trump's like, so what are
you getting into, He's like, I'm in this, like tanning
beds and stuff. You know, you want to look like you're,
you know, on vacation, you know, looking good. Look at
that nice you know, Hugh, do you like burnt duck skin?
And he's like, yeah, I wonder if like that his
wheels just started turning. Goes, okay, that's my new thing. Yeah,
(29:07):
you gotta have a color. That's good branding. But yeah,
new Sunshine. That company also became a sponsor of The
Celebrity Apprentice, So it's not like I mean there there
was a a tie in there. Guys. I want to
talk about the show The Righteous Gemstones on HBO. Uh
and it's real world equivalent that is unfolding in Virginia
(29:29):
with Jerry Fallwell's children and grandchildren. Um so First of all,
shout out to HBO, whoever is green lighting these shows
is fucking nailing the zeitgeist. Like twenty months in advance,
Chernobyl Chernobyl was like so perfect, which I guess wasn't
so hard to predict because you knew we had a
(29:50):
an administration coming in with their head like all the
way up there as well. And also yeah, like the
sort of obscuring of truth and how used in service
of darker ends and things like that, but with righteous gemstones,
I mean, I had they and Danny McBride fully nailed
uh the Fallwell family, like, I mean, I guess, I
(30:12):
guess they've been around for a while, but it's it's
pretty wild, like the stuff that is being revealed about
how Jerry Folwell Jr. Who is the Charisma list bearded
guy who shows up at a lot of like Republican
events and talks like this, like in really slow motion
(30:33):
dead pant Uh he is is he sweating a cold
iced tea as he speaks? Yeah, we declare not even
He's very like very memorable. He's like, oh yeah, that guy.
And then you're like, where wasn't your guy? That your
wasn't your dad? The guy that was like teletubis are
going to make kids gay or something. Yeah, but he
(30:55):
was also his dad basically invented the whole like what
we know now as the Baptists Born Again movement that
we associate most like American Christianity with Jerry Fallwell Senior
like invented that essentially, and he died in two thousand seven.
Jerry Fallwell the second took over basically the whole company
(31:17):
and control of Liberty University, which was a university that
was started by his dad. Uh. It is a nonprofit
and not for profit, which means you're not allowed to profit,
you're not allowed to have a political motive. Uh. And
he has all of those things and like blatantly uses
(31:39):
it to like self deal himself like great real estate opportunities, uh,
like in the name of buying it for the school
or something exactly. Uh. The school like sold his personal
trainer this like gorgeous huge property to like so that
Jerry Fallwell Junior could like work out there, and sold
it to him for like an incredibly cheap price. He's
(32:03):
also like childishly horny and like talks to everybody about
how he has sex with his wife, like nails her,
and he's like, oh, now my wife's so hard and
like she can't handle my big dick broker. His co
workers and like they're I guess who are the co
workers at this weird church? Anyway, they're probably hell yeah, dude,
(32:24):
And then like no that No, everybody's like what so
that they're like actually conservative Christians who are Actually They're
like this is a fucking nightmare. It's like a dictatorship
under this dude. Like everybody is terrified and just disgusted
behind his back, but around him, they're all just like
you said it, uh sex God. He once sent a
(32:51):
picture of his wife in like a French maid's outfit
around to a bunch of like board members and I
was like, sorry, guys, meant to send that to my
personal trainer. It's like, no, you didn't, creep. But also
I feel so desperately sorry for him. I honestly don't
know because he's being in I think if you can
(33:11):
extract all that evil shit he does in exploitative bullshit
he does under this, the saddest thing, isn't it, Like
he guys, look, I do have sex with a lady.
I feel like you don't he really reminds me of
Donald Trump Jr. Like the whole first of all his
beard and chinless beardedness, but also just his like never
(33:33):
really experienced discomfort other than his father's disapproval, and so
you know, takes it out on everybody else. Jack my
interrupts you here. You said chinless, as if that was
a really bad thing. I would like to explore that further,
because take a good look at my face, Jack, I
don't have a chin to myself, and you said chin
(33:53):
listen such a way. I'm looking a right there. It's
need a bid to make it seem like I've got
a chin. But if I shave, Like Gavin McGinnis, like
that famous video he did years ago before he became Mr.
Proud Boys, was like talking about why he needs a beard.
He shaved and he's like, because I don't have it.
It was like when you saw that, I was like, Oh,
(34:14):
there's that energy that will be get into evolve in
what a proud boy is. Then you have Eric, who's
self actual eyes and you know, empathetic, and he's like,
we're all delft chins. Some get some have bigger chins
and some get huge ones though too. Reese Weatherspoon. What
a beautiful chin she has. Oh my god, I want
to hold that channel, most adorable good night. Would you
(34:35):
ever get a chinn in plant? No? I have considered
getting my gums smaller. Oh all big at you Americans
have massive teeth and I've got like these tiny little
milk teeth still, And so if I smile, and if
you really make me smile, the upper lips of hides
under itself, and then all of a sudden you reveal
(34:58):
this gang and wonder of you. Did you hang out
with the other Zeke guest Jamie Loftus at all in Edinburgh?
I didn't see them because I actually lived outside of Edinburgh.
I'll come in, I'll do my show. And she's a
veneers expert. Oh yeah, she can spot veneers like from
(35:19):
literally away, like someone about to come around the corner
with the years, Like, how did you okay? Whatever, that's
that's your sad movie power. Yeah, She's like, it's not
a useful superpower, but it's a superpower. But they um
so anyways, getting back to this political article. They it's
written by somebody who's a graduate of Liberty University, and
(35:41):
so they has had it well, they've just they're a journalist.
They've written for the New York Times, and they are
just dealing with like contexts they have right right right,
rong right ron. Anyways, the way that Jerry Follwell Jr.
Has chosen to deal with this is by trying to
get the FBI to investigate the writing of the story
(36:01):
because emails were leaked in connection with the story. So
that's your defense, that's his defense. How the heck did
people find out? What I say? It's a crime, I think.
And then the day after he said that, that's how
he was dealing with it. Reuter's had some emails from
them that they published where he Uh called one student
(36:26):
and emotionally imbalanced, emotionally imbalanced, and physically retarded, and called
the school's chief of police a half wit who is
easy to manipulate, like a like a villain, just bragging
about how easy it is for them to get away
with their crime. So there's also an amazing character named
(36:47):
Trey who's actually Jerry Fallwell the third. That's why he's
called Trey Uh. And he is a in addition to
being like having some big, you know, puffed up position
inside the Liberty University family is a Miami party boy
with a hostel and you know, always out at the club's.
(37:08):
Uh took a picture of twelve thousand dollars of cash
on his hotel bed in Manhattan when he went up
there with his homie to do a job for Michael
Cohen back when he was part of Trump's organization. Had
to delete that. There was also pictures of he and
his dad partying at a Miami nightclub. UH that they
(37:30):
had to get like taken down off the internet. Um,
that might be the best moment in the story. So, UH,
if you don't mind, I want to just read a
couple of excerpts from that. So there were images of
Jerry follow Jr. And his son Trey like going hard
in a nightclub a nightclub. On July fourteen, popular Swedish
(37:51):
DJ John dal Bach performed at wall A Nightclub in
Miami Beach. That night. The club happened to have a
photographer on site to grant candid shots of the revelry.
The photos were shared online by World Red Eye, an
outlet that documents Miami's nightlife scene. UH and Jerry and
Trey folwell were visible in some of the pictures. The
(38:11):
outlet identified Trey by name. In a statement on August
twenty one, Jerry Fallwell denied the existence of any photo
of him at the club. There was no picture snapped
of me at Wall Nightclub or any other nightclub. Fallwell wrote,
I'm sure you already knew that, though. When told that
I had obtained a photo of him for this article,
Fallwell said I was quote terribly mistaken. If you show
(38:34):
me the picture, I can probably help you out. He wrote,
I think you are making some incorrect assumptions, or have
been told false things, or are seeing something that was
photo shopped. The old it's probably photo shopped. After I
sent him the photo as well as a photo of
Trey at Wall, Fallwell responded, I never asked anyone to
(38:54):
get rid of any pictures on the Internet of me,
and I never have seen the picture you claim is
of me. But Low, if the person in the picture
is me, it was likely photoshopped, and a second email
sent twenty three minutes later, Fallwell wrote, But the bigger question,
Brandon is why would I want a picture like that
taken down if I had seen it, Which doesn't really
(39:14):
like make sense. He's clearly spinning out. They include the
picture you can like see Jerry Fallwell just like you know,
grinning stupidly amongst like a bunch of eighteen year old
like fucking seen kids. He looks like he's they're like
on molly or ye. Then he looks like he's gurning
or something. He's like chewing on like a fucking cocktail
(39:35):
straw like a dude? Is there another set after this?
According to several people at direct knowledge of the situation,
Fallwell the president of a conservative Christian college that frowns
upon co ed dancing parenthesies. Liberty students can receive demerits
if seen co ed dancing and prohibits alcohol use parenthesies
(39:57):
for which students can be expelled. Uh so puritan. According
to sources, he was angry that photos of him clubbing
made it online. To remedy the situation, multiple Liberty staffords said,
Folwell went to John Gauger twelve gauger Man, who may
characterize as his I T guy, and asked him to
downgrade the photos prominence on Google searches. Gaugor did not
(40:21):
respond to request for comment. Gauger has worked at Liberty
since earning his m b A, and it's basically like
his body Man and Fallwell essentially like asked him to
get the get them down in terms of their Google
search for you know, this s e O ship works,
right or this Google fucking crap dude, get just get
(40:41):
rid of it, like those pictures of a rod with
his shirt off, right exactly. They did a great job.
It's hard to find those picks. Gauger has also run
Redfinch LLC, on online business he founded that specializes in
search engine optimization. Uh and Liberty paid Redfinch twenty three
(41:02):
thousand dollars. So that's like the sort of underhanded, like
self dealing ship that they do. They have employees of
Liberty University who then have their own companies that Liberty
then pays out shiploads of money too. There's also a
lot of stuff where they are doing things that are
blatantly like in favor of Trump. For instance, they changed
(41:24):
the day that finals were on during an election year
because they wanted kids and like told kids to go
out and vote. Conservatives can't do that. Yes, well, good
to know that, Like, but I mean, yeah, that's what
scummy people do. It's just like what Trump does. Like
anybody who's running a fucking you know, uh, belowboard business.
(41:45):
You're like, yeah, I got fixtures on payroll, but they
have a consulting company I pay out. I call it.
I tell people he's my I T guy. Meanwhile, he's
a person who scrubs the Internet of like damaging shit
about us. Yeah, but if you so worried about the photo,
I can't he just shopping himself out of it. Right, exactly, chick, exactly,
you're deeply mistaken. Took care of it. Powerful tootal in
(42:07):
American politics, Yeah, yeah, dude, you know what they say,
the Sharpe's mightier. They do say that. Uh, let's talk
about this Russian spy who Trump outed or indirectly. Right,
So we talked last week about how that that weird
meeting in the Oval office with two Russian officials. Everyone like,
what the hell was that? And then he gave away
some intelligence secrets about someone who had infiltrated ISIS in
(42:30):
Syria blah blah blah. That essentially led to this revelation
that the CIA had cultivated a spy in the Kremlin
who had got to the point where he could just
see ship on Putin's desk. Like that's how deep this
guy got And eventually was the person who confirmed to
the CIA that yes, it was in fact Vladimir Putin
who had ordered the election meddling, like I heard, like,
(42:52):
I was there, that's how to do it. I'm in
this ship. So when he um was basically you know,
sort of out did in this thing. No one really
thought anything of it, but I think as a story
came out and they realized just how deep, you know,
the CIA had was able to you know, uh, cultivate
somebody or plant somebody Kremlin, they started getting shook. First
(43:14):
they were just sort of being like, oh, that's that's
a lie, dude, that would us No, no, we're spy proof,
and then to them reaching out to fucking Interpolgary study
this case and try and find him. Sure we know
what this means. Right, whenever someone crosses Putin in public
and they funk off to another country, all bets are
usually off. We've seen in the UK happened, We've been
(43:36):
to happen in many other places where people suddenly get
sick on a bench or some ship get stuck with
an umbrella or something. Drink after this, dude, I wouldn't
recommend it, right, And that's why again it was sort
of a bit of a of debacle because like the
news is the one who leaked his name out there
every other reports before, just like this asset, this asset
(43:58):
like Kendalinian, I believe, like into his house from NBC
and it was like, this is the guy's house. We
won't say his name, but say people can start putting
shipped together and eventually his name got out. And I
think once that happened, that specificity made the shame I
think real, because obviously the Kremlin knew this guy was
a spy because he was like he was extracted during
(44:19):
a family vacation in Montenegro, like that's when they got there. Like,
you know what, dude, he's out of Russia right now.
We think Trump might fucking like totally blow this guy's
cover or who knows, let's get him out. Brought him
to the US, and now his names they're out there
out loud, and now you're he's in the States right now.
What a brilliantly terrifying life. Yeah, being a spy, I've
(44:40):
always so fantasized about being a spy, especially as an actor. Right,
I can get into any row like right right, like
maybe get into the Kremlin I don't know, But the
terrifying truth is that like, oh, you're not on set,
like this is actual that will kill you, right exactly.
And you look at all those people that you know
(45:01):
and just sort of without any kind of or no consequence.
But to them, they act just unimpeded to be like,
I don't care what country you're in, we will we
will come onto your country's soil and do our work.
And I think that's the concern, is that like if
this guy's in the US, much like how in the
UK things have happened, and you know, like a lot
of the intelligence agencies there like this is Russia. But also,
(45:22):
how do we know it's not a double bluff? Right?
You know? What what if he what if he was
turned in the office? You know, I saw things on
Vladimir Putin's desk like a better offer, you know. And
if we if if the US can get someone you know,
that high up, could could it not be feasible that
there are some high up in the White House? Oh yeah, yeah,
(45:45):
an unintentional, unintentional asset that they found a willing idiot
to go along with. But again, I think this is
where it can get tricky, right, because that would be
a real international event. If this person who was an
intelligence asset who's in the US is somehow being attacked
on within the borders of the United States by a
(46:06):
foreign country. You know what's going to happen If Trump's
office will be like, you know, honestly, I don't like spies,
so an all fetis then you could put you know,
you play the other hand, right, you go, well, you
know America, that put a spy in that country, So
that's like what is it? What is And also like
let's be real, like like the US isn't coming after
people on other people's soil, right, I mean that's the
(46:28):
bigger picture. However, if we're just doing it this but
like the Russia are doing it in China, like that
becomes an international incident. I think we did do it
with a Chinese by like something o Huawei executive maybe
in China where we like and like that became a
whole thing. So like doing it on one of the
(46:49):
major powers soil is a big deal. That's why the
killing of that person in the UK was a big deal.
And you know they really if they funk with this person,
like it'll it'll be bad. Where the world. Quick shout
out to the CIA or m I five if you
are looking for someone to spy. You know how I
(47:10):
travel internationally doing stand up and acting. You know, my
car is already set now. I'm constantly in hotels making
notes on my little notepads. Right the jokes, hi Ami
or the or since your francophone, the d G s E.
I didn't know. Yeah, for external security. All right, we're
(47:36):
gonna take a quick break. We're gonna be right back, man,
And we're back and we're John doll back. Apparently that
DJ is so sick, so sick? Did you a danial? Uh?
(48:02):
He invented that drop what it sounds like when a
DJ orgasm. Let's talk about the Ignobel Prize, the spoof
Nobel Prize. Okay, I did not know this was a thing. Yeah,
they honor achievements that first make people laugh and that
make them thinks and okay, further establishing my ignorance. Didn't
know it started. It's been around this long. Were there
(48:24):
any so again this whole thing. I loved reading about
it because the whole thing is just a big joke
and bit but also with science that people are like,
you know, having fun with it. There's a award cereblony
features mini operas, scientific demos, and the seven Lectures, whereby
experts must explain their work twice, once in seconds and
(48:46):
the second in just seven words. Seven. Um. Yeah, and
I didn't realize how jokey yet serious a lot of
the research was, right, Yeah, it's it's essentially that's why
you haven't heard of it. It's like it's not technically
life changing science, but it's just fun that someone decided
to do it. You know, there's eight billions of us
(49:07):
on the planet. One person's got time to maybe do
something really stupid that we don't need, but that once
we know, that's cool. Yeah and could send up set
off a whole other chain of thought research. Yeah. Well,
I wouldn't see one of the awards ceremonies in London
a few years back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it was
about this guy that one measured the testicle lengths of
(49:28):
both the right and left testicles on statues around Europe
and stuff, so which one dangles the most? And it
was quite funny that, you know, he did some measuring
of all the statues and their balls and why one
would hang more than the other, and well on which one,
and how would they know? And do nudes statues of
Zeus like have big or like Moses like big old balls?
(49:50):
Do they have big old balls? I don't know. I
think that they're they're like you know now, they're they're
pretty sort of zoosalls. Yeah, I didn't wondered because old
men balls like I've I've been in a y m
C a changing room. I've seen some specific but uh,
you know, dangled to knee length. Now that that's all
like Samil, you know if the recalled day the nice
(50:12):
and ly wrapped right as if it looked like one bowl. Well, yeah,
this was funny because one of the prizes is almost
a follow up to the question of the really made
me think, let's start off with physics, because this is
a question I actually recently had. So physics Ignoble prize
was for studying how and why wombats make cube shaped poo.
(50:37):
We have a rabbit who our neighbors have a rabbit
that gets loose in our yard all the time, and uh,
ships out all these tiny, little, perfectly round pebbles, and
I mean that's what rabbit shit is. And I have
spent a lot of time picking that up and wondering
(50:58):
what about their anatomy, like is that is there something
evolutionarily beneficial to having round poop? Like does it smell
or something? Right? I did want that when you said cube,
I wonder I wonder if like if it fulls, it
means that it doesn't roll away. Well, this is what
it looks like. Yeah, so like if it's a cubed pooh,
(51:20):
then it would just stay in position. Well, a bowl
one for example, the dung beel, it's a bowl and
they can push it around. But a square you don't
have square wheels on a skateboard the building blocks of
a shitty house, right, Um, I think, well what they
the answer? Well, the conclusion they came to was really
about the shape and flexibility of the intestines of a
wombat and then also dry environments that they live in.
(51:43):
So I mean, I guess what the knock on effect
of this research is that it could help for manufacturing
industries to kind of like, you know, find new techniques
for creating cube shape products. I guess yeah, I guess
they weren't looking into evolutionary biology. Could you imagine if
they're making little ship glues like iglues with their cube
(52:04):
Stai ships. They could like stack in the really beautifully
cube shaped. They do a good job. They look like, um,
I'm trying to think of what it is, like a
hy chew candy that was in your pocket for a
little too long, kind of slightly melted, but it's not
it's not perfect angularly speaking, but you get the gist.
I think I'm right about rabbit poop because fear has
(52:25):
the least surface area. Boom out right, So let's step
just credit to the prize. Probably smells less, there's less
of it on the outside to smell, so uh you
know they because like that is one way that predators
will track prey is based on like the scent of
(52:45):
their ship. I just picture you looking at this rabbit
ship like in your backyard, like a magnified glassman, like
you thinking about, like Jack, what are you doing the house? Okay?
Why is it? I don't know what could it be?
Rabbits donk? Rabbits also eat their own poop, and so
wouldn't it be easier to like eat spherical food, dogs eat,
(53:10):
cat puppies eat their own ship? And that's because it's
very That's how I knew the thing about predators tracking
based on I know that's how you know? It's because
they're milky. Poo smells very strongly and makes it very
easy to track puppies. So that's why they adapted the
(53:30):
habit of eating puppy Katie Golden from Creature Feature And
for me, because my dog was eating cats. Ship is
that there's a high high fat content cat droppings which
makes it delicious to a dog somehow and a good
not just oh great, oh superos around a hose. And
he asked me if I eat the rabbit poop, and
I do not. He tastes them, it doesn't eat them
(53:52):
big yeah, and then rinses his mouth out immediately. The
thing I do want to say, like you're talking about
test testicles is back for the Anatomy Prize. Okay, test
schools is back there back baby from the prize went
to these researchers who actually I think they're French because
they were studying French young French postmen for this study
(54:14):
to figure out the scrotal temperature in asymmetry in naked
and clothed postmen in France was the award very specifically specific. Wait,
do your balls change shape based on whether you're naked
or clothed. I think they were just trying to see,
like if you have clothes on and there's maybe some
heat feedback, like what's that? What's that do to your
ball temperature or your sack temp? But wait, gentlemen, do
(54:35):
you ever when laying in bed naked and you've let
someone sort of rub their hand from your ankle up
to your groinig area everywhere? That's what you're saying. No,
that's wow, what are you gonna Well, as you move
your the hand up, as you get to around the knee,
(54:57):
the ball very quickly hides. Have you ever done that? Yeah,
it's like a sort of like if an insect or
snakes will win up your leg, your balls protect immediately.
It's very difficult to do it yourself. You can do,
but ultimately yourself, your brain goes, well, that's my hands
and that's scared. But stranger, Yeah, if you get someone
(55:17):
else just rub rub your leg very gently, your balls
go in. It's a really quite wonderful thing to do
between two lovers. So this is the thing what they're saying,
is like you were saying when you're asking about the
drop length of the scrotum and the testicles within the
scrotum there. Okay, so it is that that has been
researched and they think it's probably to prevent collision between
(55:38):
the two testicles or maybe if you have more effective cooling.
But it seemed like something with the left one on
a high like on a at a higher rate was
typically the hotter ball. M So you know left is
hotter ball. Yeah, on average. I mean, look again, these
aren't these aren't real studies. These are more like kind.
(56:00):
But that's the way that they could have said I
sort of like unequivocally that it's like that. But yeah,
did you know that the David U Michael Angelo's the
David has a The David has a small penis because
he's supposed to be about to fight Goliath. Goliath. Yeah,
it's like supposed to be right before. And you can,
(56:20):
like if you get up close, his eyes are like
really wide, like and his like all his like vascular
structures like really like flush. So like that's why, like
he doesn't just have a small penis. It's like Michael
Angelo was, it's not just Michael Angelo was like, this
is you know, he's got the because he's feeling fear.
(56:43):
It's supposed to being Yeah, thanks for speaking of Italy.
The prize in Medicine was given to people who were
collecting evidence that pizza might protect against illness and death
if the pizza is made and eaten in Italy. I mean,
this just sounds like it was done to queue up
one of your stores. No it's not, because that would
(57:04):
be Naples, the home of a really great pizza. But
this is neither here nor there. The deal is these
these researchers started in two thousand three where they investigated
whether ingesting Italian pizza can protect against cancer, that's the
biggest thing. Then two thousand four whether pizza could offset
the risk of acute mile cardial in Farction, And in
(57:24):
two thousand six again they built on their work in
two thousand three to study whether eating pizza reduced the
risk of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. They were all
basically like, there's no way for us to know, but
we did just sort of test these people who ate
pizza in Italy. I wonder if they considered the placebo
effect of eating a pizza in Italy, because if you
go into Italy, you know you want to eat some spaghetti,
(57:46):
You want to eat a pizza because you're in Italy
when Rome right, and so the joy of eating a
pizza in Italy and from the Colosseum bring you so
much more extra joy than just eating a pizza, you know,
out of a Ralph's fraser, out of warming. Maybe that
maybe just frozen just right there, red baron it and
(58:07):
eat itself. If yeah, I do wonder, yeah, if this
has something to do with this just being like peak
human joy like that or the Mediterranean diet or you know,
whatever that could be. But I mean it just seems
weirdly specific. I think that's what they should have done,
is test people who might not who aren't Italian, because
(58:27):
then there's a little bit of more wonder and whimsy
for being in Italy and seeing if that gives something
to people. I would love it, if you know, I
said love it. You know if someone had cancer in
Italy and just went to a doctor and went, well,
I can prescribe you a nice thank you sir. It's
like this, are they just like trying to create Italian jokes,
(58:48):
bring back Italian jokes jokes by Italian people. All right,
let's talk about the medical education one. Um, Okay, I
think this is interesting because this one was about using
a simple and like a like clicker training for animals,
if that can train surgeons to perform orthopedic surgery. Uh.
And so what they want to do is two specific
(59:08):
surgical task, tying the locking sliding knot and making a
low angle drill hole. And what they did was just
sort of using the effectiveness of this clicker that's usually
for animals, but the clicker serves as a conditioned reinforcer
that communicates in a way that is language and judgment free.
So the result was the clicker trained group of medical
students took more time to learn the tasks than the
(59:30):
control group, but they were better at performing the tasks precisely.
And if you're talking about surgery, baby, it's all precision. Yeah.
So a next time you go into any kind of
orthopedic surgery, ask if they've been clicker trained. But also,
it's not just hypnotist. I mean that's what hYP hypnotist
story like. They still click you and it still gives
you a sense of tempo in your mind, even if
(59:51):
you don't really realize that subconsciously keeps track of time.
I don't know if it's me. It's about tempo. More
so like if when the mistakes made or you do well,
you hear the clicker to just sort of create that
connection oral reinforcement or something. Yeah, but that isn't that
That's a form of hypnosis, is what I'm saying. Yeah,
Hell yeah, I don't know. Man. Look, I'm just I
don't even I don't know about the ignobles until right now.
(01:00:13):
I'm ignorant, okay or in Italy. Uh. Well, ship, Eric
has been a pleasure ahead. Thanks for having me. Yeah,
you're a real artist man. You've been drawing like really
cool ship this whole time. Can we sell this? Yeah,
the charity if you want? Um? Yeah? Sure. Where can
people find you? Follow? You find me on Instagram because
(01:00:36):
I hate Twitter whole Facebook. I've also got an album
Alien of Extraordinary Ability. You can buy it, but if not,
it's free on Spotify. I have a show called Born
of Chaos, which I'm doing in Los Angeles on the
September and October at the Broadwater Theater. And it's like
it's mainly comedy, but there is some tragedy, so I'm
enjoying I really genuinely. It was the show I did
(01:00:58):
at the End Festival and him, I'd say, for the
first time in my career, proud of a project. Does
that make sense? Like not like before the shows were good,
you know, the shows were funny, like Alien of Extraordinary
ability of the album it's funny, but it's not really
saying anything. It's a good hour. I mean that is
the blurb on the cover right, not really saying it,
(01:01:20):
but it'll make you laugh. So this is the show
I'm proud, So I would love it, I know. Yeah,
it's tough when you're a creator because sometimes you don't
allow yourself to like sort of pat yourself on the
back or feel fully confident some of the work you made.
So yeah, yes, it feels good for experience and for Boise.
We did a show called Comedian Cinema Club where we
(01:01:41):
recreate movies live on stage. We did Princess Bride and
it was sold out, and so we decided to come back.
So we're back on the eleventh of January to do
Labyrinth in Boys and then we're hopefully going to be
doing a little tour around the Midwest and Chicago. So
he's sick. If you want to see comedians getting and
can recreate movies, get in touch with me. I love you.
(01:02:03):
Are you going to be David Bowie? Oh yeah, of
course I'll be David. Alright, man, la la what um?
What if? Boys? You do to deserve this? This masterful comedy. Well,
I just got invited to the to the two oh
eight Comedy Festival, and I just brought my humor and
turns out the Americans like it. Is there a tweet
(01:02:26):
you've been enjoying? Oh? No, I know, okay, is there
any Honestly, don't like Twitter. In fact, I only now
follow six people and they're all cinema based things because
it got a little bit too much. And I'm trying
to be aware of the things that are going on
in the world while at the same time having to
try and take care of my mental health. And if
(01:02:46):
I keep reading stuff about Brexit and Trump and stuff,
it becomes very difficult because I'm like, Trump and Boris
and other people around the world are a bunch of
sea words. You're filling the chaos bucket in your subconscious
with the media tea, and so I'm just trying to
just chill out on Twitter. Is never I think about
a good place for that. That's why I gotta listen
(01:03:06):
to the daily Like, guys, it's uh, Miles, where can
people find you in as their tweet you've been enjoyed.
Oh boy, watch out guys, Twitter and Instagram onto your
buttoles in particular, because the pood that's coming out is
not round or cubicle till. It's a mess. It's a mess.
It's loose, baby, the stool is loose. Shout out to
(01:03:30):
Dr Lisa Swan for identifying the problem. Now let's see
at Miles great Twitter, Instagram so tweets I like at
Molly Lambert. Thank god, being a redhead exempts me from
the are you the blonde scammer or the brunette scammer?
Binary parentheses? All redheads are scammers. Um. Then there was
another one from so you know with that whole fiasco
(01:03:54):
with Shane Racist whatever the funk that dude his name is?
Who was Yeah, come with all the really just hilarious
border boundary pushing racist comedy. Andrew t was quoting. He said,
like he tweeted about it. He said, who is going
to be the first one to write the Rob Schneider
Asian erasure hot take? But deep down, someone who's listening
(01:04:17):
this is Dylan Clark Moore. I think we listened to
the show as well. At Dylan Clark, Moore said, I
keep hearing this in the Ninja Turtles theme and he
wrote it as the logo, and it says Rob Schneider
Asian erasure, oh Man heroes that are half Asian turtle power.
He's actually a quarter Uh. Yeah, you know, look, we're
(01:04:40):
not here to check blood que um. Uh. Some tweets
I've been enjoying. Megan Amran Uh just retweeted one of
her old tweets with the word important. Uh, and her
old tweet was, yeah, sure, I like Sorkin sorking my
own dick, which is one of the most important tweets
of all its time. I think Aaron would appreciate a
(01:05:02):
well phrased tweets um, and then went to at Drill
said I love saying ship like yeah, this kitten's got
claws whenever a woman stabs me thirty eight times in
the neck and chest. Uh. You can find me on
Twitter at check on our scar o. Bryan. You can
find us on Twitter at Daily Zeykeeist. Were at the
Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We have Facebook fan page and
(01:05:26):
a website, Daily Zeitgeist dot com. We post our episodes
and our footnote. So I talk now that we have
a hundred episodes out bitches seasons, five hundred episodes. That's
what it is. Uh, Blake, Sorry, I wanted to There
was another tweet that I was looking for that I found.
(01:05:47):
Blake Wexler tweeted things that most often mumbled to myself
on a daily basis. Uh. One goddamn it to Jesus
fucking Christ. Three, holy goddamn shit for nice bangs, idiot
five But oh my fucking god, I have four of those.
I do not say holy goddamn ship under my breath,
but all the other ones and nice bangs, Yeah, nice
(01:06:10):
nice bang bang? What the like? In what context do
you would you sincerely some freaking bang? Like, are you
like a competitive hair stylist and someone else gets a
prisingly ends? Yeah? Sounds like an eighties movie. Ye. Also,
Mike Drucker inspired my ak today with this tweet. Joker
(01:06:31):
should end with him getting a serious XM show where
he just complains about being silenced. H And I think
that's probably gonna happen with this SML fucker. What song
are we going to ride out on? Oh? A song
we're writing on it. Today is um a track called
one Day You're just grape Stomping Dan. It's from an
(01:06:54):
artist called Dismay You'll I don't know how to s
M E s E to get his new albums out
s M E y e U L period um and
it's called one Day. It's just a very it's look.
(01:07:14):
It's a head NodD sort of dilla jazz sample instrumental track.
But the chord progression, I don't know if you like
to sing, it almost makes you want to sing over it.
That's why I like it, because I'm we we all
know how much I say uh and not well. But anyway,
one day smeay you well smell whatever you wanna call him,
Bilbo Baggins, Trilbo Swagons. This specifically makes you want to
(01:07:35):
sing nickel back over it. No comment, okay. The Daily
