Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I've
had the of my gust and I Owe it all
the Zoo. That is courtesy of Brian Jeffrey. To producer
Brian bringing the heat, I'm Jack. That's Miles. Here are
(00:20):
some things that are trending on this fine Tuesday afternoon.
Ivory Hecker is trending. And you're probably saying, who the
Hecker is that? Well, good question. This is a person
who is on a Texas news station. Uh. And she was,
you know, kind of went viral because she started off
a live segment where she was supposed to be talking
(00:40):
about like the heat wave, and she was like on
location with like an air conditioning technician. And she said,
first of all, before I get to my segment, she says, quote,
I want to let you, the viewers know that Fox Corp.
Has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you
the viewers. From what I'm getting from what I'm gathering,
I'm not the only reporter being subjected to this. I'm
going to be releasing some audio or some recordings about
(01:01):
what goes on behind the scenes at Fox because it
applies to you, the viewers. I found a nonprofit journalism
group called Project Veritas. Who's going to happen out tomorrow,
so tune into them. Yeah, so she went viral for
telling the truth on the news. I mean that's unheard
of these days. She was saying like she was being
(01:24):
muzzled from like saying like real ship that was like
too far, like like too real and progressive like and
like that's what's going on, because what are they gonna say.
It's like, hey, don't tell people that like masks or that.
I don't know what you're trying to say, but knowing
like the Project Veritas is track record, this is yeah,
it's going to be already is going to be complete
(01:46):
horseship based on their track record. Although we did uh
cover that new hot music video from Project Veritas, where um,
what's his name is a kif like does a yeah,
it's a Prince cover. He's wearing sunglasses indoors. Um he
(02:07):
hired attractive people to dance around him. Um, he's it's
all the all the stuff that you need to Uh.
I don't know what what the point of that was,
but it's pretty interesting. I think, just to let people
know we got all the garky or whatever the fun
because like if it's a video from an alternate dimension
(02:30):
where the nazis one World War two, uh, and like
this is what the eighties looked like. I feel like
Mackenzie Scott is trending because she has given away eight
billion dollars since she got half of Jeff Bezos's money,
and she can't give it away fast enough. She she's
(02:51):
gotten richer since she got the money. It's just it
keeps growing like some fucked up like Greek tragedy like
something first, like a person who couldn't give away their
money fast enough because it just keeps. I think I
give it away and then I opened the refrigerator and
there's more in there. Where has she been giving her
money to? It's yeah, all kinds of things. Um, she
(03:14):
just did it on the whole point something million dollar. Yeah.
I mean this is, by the way, the only lot
like rational thing for a human being to do. Who
has that much money? Um, you should all spend all
their time giving away all their money um brands. Yeah,
because there's a certain point like where the consumption it
(03:35):
actually can reach like uh like critical mass, like where
there's you couldn't ball harder at a certain bread with
what you have like you can, sure you can have
every Bentley, but then what sure all your pillows are Gucci,
but like then what um? And I think that's when
you hope, like, at that point start giving it all away,
how about that? But yeah, good on Mackenzie Scott. I
(03:58):
hope everybody. I hope Melenda Yates is also making it
rain too with the money she's getting or has. Heat wave.
There is a heat wave in the Western United States.
It is uh pretty brutal in in l a and
the valley right now over a hundred degrees in Phoenix.
I think it's going up to one ten and Death
(04:20):
Valley is going to come within ten degrees fahrenheit of
the record for highest temperature anywhere on the face of
the Earth, which Death Vally currently holds. Um so didn't
it Like wasn't that record set like in the last
two years? Also? I think so yeah, I feel like
they it's always like reading like, yep, it did it?
Uh it was you know, melt your face off hot
(04:42):
and death value. But that's another thing, just like back
to that even story about the Texas heat wave too
and the lack of electricity going on. It's it's terrible
when you just keep reading more and more about like
how that stories developing, or just realizing too how few
options that they have in Texas because they intentionally cut
their grid off from the rest of the country to
(05:03):
avoid federal stuff. Anyway, whatever. Yeah, it's interesting that she's
like talking about how she's being muzzled from telling the
truth while covering a story about a heat wave that
her city or her state is completely ill prepared for
due to people like you know, yeah, but James o'ki
who down interview um tonight so everyone can sleep right
(05:28):
through that. Um Yeah, Big a C is trying to
screw you. Also, you were telling me about a phenomenon
I you and Brian were mentioning a phenomenon. I wasn't
aware of that. Pools in Phoenix are I'm just it's funny,
he said, Phoenix. I was in Scottsdale. I've been. There
(05:48):
are times when you're like, oh, there's a pool, but
you don't realize that the ambient heat outside is basically
making it like it's not really offering much difference from
the air the air the air temperature, so when you
get in, you're like, this is refreshing. Um, It's almost
like I don't know what you'll do in Arizona to
(06:10):
keep your pools cool, but I will say this, the
one I was into, uh it was like definitely a
darker bottomed pool, so it's going to retain more heat.
But this is just uh yeah, it's it is. It
is a it's a new sensation when you're used to
like the sensation exactly the cooling waters of Lake minnetonka
um and you end up in fucking like Mongolian hot
(06:32):
pot broth bowl. Yeah. National parks are currently overcrowded. Uh
so stop if you're on your way to a national park, turnaround.
The words of Kamala Harris, do not come. Do not
do not come, even if you're looking for some kind
of relaxation amidst all of this, do not come. It's yeah,
(06:55):
I don't know this. Pictures freak me out. So what
the pictures of like lines of people like hiking up Yeah.
So for example, there's like pictures of like the Arches
National Park, and it's almost there's so many people it
almost ceases to be like of a fun time like
part of I think going on to a national park
in nature is like to feel sort of insignificant. In
(07:16):
the face of our earth, like and to see the
natural wonder. But when the entire landscape is like dotted
with like a ton of people like just taking pictures
and stuff like, it does kind of it creates a
very interesting vibe. Not to say you shouldn't go out
and enjoy, but apparently because it's like they're the demand
is so high. It's not just like people saying like
(07:36):
the lines are too long to get in, like the
locals are like what the fuck is going on? Like
why is everybody converging here? But it makes sense. It's
like one of the few outdoor places where people can
kind of have some level of enjoyment and and be outside. Uh.
And it'd be a like low cost outing. Yeah, Arches
(07:57):
National Park reaches capacity and closes the skates to visitors
most days before nine am because their parking lots fill up, um,
which sends people to a less popular park, Kanyan Lands,
more than four times the size of Arches UH and
Kanyan Lands has seen its own visits jump in April,
(08:19):
and lines to enter Kanyan Lands can stretch up to
two hours during park visitation times. UM. And that's just
like trash and like human waste is just like piling
up around like campsites and it's just like graffitied and yeah,
you know, people didn't people don't know how to act.
People never knew how to act, and they're better. But yeah,
(08:40):
I mean I get it. Like I went to the
Sequoias back at the end of the year, and it
was like that was like my one glimpse into like
a future where things seem normal, because it's like all
these people like all trying to get their pictures with
General Sherman type stuff and yeah or whatever. That other
tree is the yeah, and that's yeah. Maybe maybe that's
(09:01):
the future where like everything is treated like a Disneyland
attraction and there's like lines because they're yeah, they're like
literally lines to walk up the side of these hills. Um, California,
I just want to do a little bit of you know, bragging.
I don't know, I didn't do anything for this, but
(09:23):
the Conservatives were doom and gloom as recently as like
two months ago about the future of California. They were saying,
you know, the state is shrinking because people are fleeing
because of the high tax is California doom staggering? Fifty
four billion dollar deficit looms. The Associated Press concluded a
(09:48):
year ago, California is doomed, declared Business Insider. Two months
before that is California doomed to keep burning the New Republic.
California is doomed because of rising sea levels, according to
April Eco reports. I mean, those are all true things.
The one that I'm remembering is from National Review, and
(10:09):
it was just like this state has completely been screwed
by their liberal politics and their progressive values. Um. California. Actually,
the latest day To read out showed the Golden State
has no peers among developed economies for extending, expanding GDP,
(10:29):
creating jobs, raising household incomes, manufacturing growth, investment, and innovation.
It's been it's beating the United States of America. UM.
And it added, Yeah, it's just the conservative economists and
you know, thought leaders, if we can call them that
(10:49):
once again, just couldn't be more wrong. So shout out
to them for making uh, the jobs of progressive people
much easier. Um and yeah, So those are the things
that are trending. We are back tomorrow with the whole
last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
(11:09):
each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't
do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to
you all tomorrow by
