Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season five, episode one.
How do we decide? What are we calling this episode
one A of the Daily Zeite? Guys. Uh, it is
November six, two thousand seventeen. My name is Jack O'Brien,
a k A. Potatoes O Brian, and I'm joined by
my co host, Mr Miles Gray. Oh, the original Black Samurai,
(00:21):
and sorry to Donald Trump that I could not bring
down the missiles with my katana. Uh. And we're thrilled
to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious
stand up Caleb Signing. And that's right, and I'm the
original Black night before see he was cast. They replaced
me halfway. It's got a lot of warriors in the building.
(00:42):
I can't believe he really said that. I thought that
was a none yet. I thought it was to someone
someone tweeted. Someone tweeted that at us over the weekend,
and I was just I was I knew he was
gonna say something fucking off about Japan, aside from like
the they should have known better kind of remarks about
the A bombs, which is way crazy. Voice at that too. Yeah,
he was like, you know, some people have underestimated our response,
(01:03):
and that didn't go, well, wha, like you're in Japan.
It's like, yo, bro, you need to like anyway, like
speaking in that vague third person like threaten tone. Was
he too when that happened? How's he taking credit for that?
He's again We're living in a problem world, guys, and
(01:24):
I'm just triggered by everything. Now, Caleb, what is something
that you have searched in I checked this a few
minutes ago, and uh, the last thing I searched was
young Dr Phil. I wanted to see if I wanted
to see if he had the must how long the
mustache had been there? How long has he been there? Uh?
Quite a while? Oh quite a while. Has he looked
(01:45):
like this? I'd imagine like that for uh, since at
least the early eighties? Yeah, I think, well, I think
it's an early eighties. Look, yeah, I think he's still
in that. I also searched yesterday if molesk and notebooks
were made of mole skin, and they're not. No, they're not.
They're made of skin. Um Oh. And also Dr Phil
(02:11):
another person who benefited from the Oprah effect. Yeah, nobody
we did talk about on our last episode. All Right,
what's something that you believe to be overrated. Oh, I
wrote down a bunch for this I got. I got
real angry, so I got into a wormhole overrated jelly.
I think jam is so much better, And I don't
know why they sell jelly at all. Explain the difference.
(02:34):
It's harder to spread jelly. Jelly is just like a
thick yellow it like makes your smushes or bread. I
think it's jam is a hundred times better, and I
don't know, and it's the same price. I don't know
why people don't up Until like two weeks ago, I
thought jam was just a word that British people used
instead of jelly. But apparently jam is no British people
(02:54):
just know jam's better and we need jelly, crazy that
we have it. So that was the first one. No,
there's no fruit in jelly right, usually just colored spread yes,
versus like preserves or jam where it's like, jam is
so much better. I didn't know that until I had
bread I had. I bought jam, and I bought jelly
like on consecutive times, and I was like, why is
(03:16):
this so bad? And my girlfriend asked me to get
stuff for toast, and she was adamant that it wasn't
jelly like like preserves the good ship. I think it's
the maddest I've ever been in my life. Was when
my mom said, I'm about to go to the grocery store.
What do you guys want? And I said I told
her this. I was like, I don't know why that
jelly exists. Jam is so much better? Can you make
sure to get jam? She goes, yeah, it comes back,
(03:36):
it's jelly. And I think it's a madness I've ever
been in my life. I was probably eight, and that's
a very together and demanding eight year old, Like that's
the only thing I'm a stickler about. But I can't.
It's insane. It's like, what do you think poison water?
Not poison And I'm like, I can't. It's crazy that
was water or poison water? That was when you ran
away to New York, right, That's when I ran away
(03:57):
every day and I lived in the sewers. To move
on to underrated underrated okay, um, I would say being
single is underrated. People go, oh, I'm single, I gotta
fix it, and I think it's fine. Yeah, every time
I'm single, I'm like, I'm not bad. Um. I think
being in a good relation, A great relationship is better.
But like I think of it like Margarite is in beer,
(04:19):
Like margarity is my favorite, but I'll have a beer.
I'm not like pissed when I'm thinking a beer, but
I do like Margarit is better. But people act like
if you're single it's a problem. Then, like sometimes it's
very fun. I've never never really disliked it. But yeah,
people think it's they get something's wrong with them. But
I think it's fun. Yeah. I mean some people are
better at being single than others. Also, I would guess
(04:40):
that's true. Yeah, because some people are wired to just
panic if like some people just can't have an identity
outside of someone else. Wow, I like being single, yea,
even though you're not about that. Yeah, they're both good.
He has a healthy relationship. Also, beds think beds are overrated.
(05:01):
I laid on the floor the other day and slept
for like two hours. It was great. Yeah, I mean
passed out, No, I just laid down. I was I
was like, oh, I'm gonna stretch, and I laid on
the floor to stretch and fell asleep and it was wonderful.
You might have a gas leak in your house, maybe
I do, but gas leaks underrated, overrated? That um also
like bad stuff. I think it's underrated, like um food
(05:25):
that's bad for you, Like people, Oh you gotta watch?
Is that movie good? Like who cares? There's bad movies
that are that make me feel nice? I think people
get hung up on like if. Like Blake Shelton, I
don't think his music is good, but I like it
and I don't think those conflict at all. People go, oh,
that's bad. I can't listen to it, eminem. I can't
(05:46):
defend one lyric he ever put out, but I enjoy
his music. So what's wrong with a couple of bad things?
And what's a Blake Shelton song to get into? If?
If you've never heard of Blake, he has a song
called The More I Drink And it's all right, I'm
gonna right that. It's just fun in the sun. I
love it very much. I listened to it all the time.
Not a good song, but I can't stop listening to it,
(06:07):
and then I don't think it has any redeeming qualities.
But alright, we're gonna get into formats. Is there anything
else that you wanted to call out as underrated. Oh yeah,
there's just comedian Keith Albert stad. I think he's like
the funniest guy in the world, and I bring him
up all the time and he's he's doing well. But
like I think he's like people everyone should know him,
most famous. Yeah, check him out. He's the funniest guy
(06:28):
in the world. All Right, we're gonna get into the zeitgeist. Uh,
before getting into the show, we're trying to take a
sample of the ideas. They're out there changing the world,
whether we're looking or not. We talked about politics, the president,
the news. We also talked about movies and supermarket tabloids, uh,
because you know, lots of people passed by tabloids every
(06:50):
day when they're buying milk. People still buy milk, still
see those tabloid headlines, so they influenced the zeitgeist. So,
like I said, we talked about move vis a lot
because I think movies, more than anything influence the zeitgeist
and TV. Like basically, movies supply all your images for
anything that you haven't experienced. So if you haven't gone
(07:14):
and fought in the Vietnam War, when I say the
Vietnam War, you picture probably forrest gump or tropic thunder.
Probably not tropic thunder. Uh, but um, Caleb, you're from
a part of the world that a lot of people
haven't visited, and uh, you know that they're probably getting
(07:34):
a lot of their ideas for how that part of
the world operates, uh from movies. So you're from the South, Yes,
what what is that? The South? The South? Well, we lost,
that's the first thing to remember, and that affects everyone
there on a constant basis. Yeah. Yeah, you got that
(07:55):
whole loser thing going on. Uh we lost the big
one and uh and some how there's still people like
all the time growing up you see that, Oh the
South will rise again. People have that on belt buckles
and bumper stickers, like really into that somehow. So that's
still like constant and like just always present. Is that loss.
There's still kind of sprit from that. But it's also
(08:15):
you know, it's a global thing now. So like the South,
we have paved roads and air conditioning, which was not
the case a hundred years ago. Uh So the South
is people still have hundred years ago stereotypes. There's a
lot of things that aren't true. But it's like tons
of people moved there from everywhere, like all over the place.
Uh So it's not that it's not you know, Deliverance.
(08:38):
You know, parts of it are right, parts of it are.
But like whenever I would see a movie set in
the South and it would be like it's it's in
the South, and everybody's like, well yellow and like everyone
has that accent, I'm like, I've never I feel like
that is not the most common thing, Like, I just
it's insane. I'm like everyone doesn't have. It's like when
(08:59):
you see movie and everyone's wearing clothes from the year
and it's like, not everyone has clothes they bought in
the last month, Like it's nineteen sixty two and everyone's
were in nineteen sixty two and driving a sixty two
car and it's just like what that that's it looks weird.
So yeah, yeah, it's like not everybody has none of
my friends have an accent. Really. Um But and another
(09:20):
thing that didn't happen until I moved here. When people
find out I'm they go, ohlier from the South. You
ever funck your cousin? And I'm like, gee, that's really forward.
That is that. I don't know why that is in
the South. I don't. I don't know who's doing that. Yeah,
that's a that's a that's a weird thing to just
people say that very casually. Yeah, I don't. I'm not
(09:42):
familiar with that. I don't know why. Maybe that happens
more in the South in other places, but I don't.
Are there things that you wish films portrayed like the
way they portrayed the South that would feel more accurate
to people who live in the South? Um, I really
the accents are almost always incorrect. The most common one
you see, you ever see Big Fish would go well,
(10:04):
and I'm like, that is one town that's just Savannah.
I'll just drive out. The South has so much the
Texas accent it's very different from a Georgia accent, and
that the Louisiana accent is very different. Yeah, there's a
lot of different Southern accents and you hear them do
the same one. It's just yeah, yeah, I feel like
(10:27):
there are two modes of the South. There is like, uh,
you know, coming like yeah, cowboy like they've got a
lot of lessons to teach us city slickers, uh doc
Hollywood style where it's like a charming small town and
then there's like horror movie like Deliverance, like The Hills
Have Eyes Chansaw Masacer and you don't really get much
(10:49):
in between. Um. Yeah, there's not a lot of movies
set in the South where everything's fine, right, It's always
something terrible. I feel like Richard Linklater does a good
job of because as he like was raised in Austin
and lives in Austin and sets his movies in Austin,
and they have like a nice texture of like, yeah,
that's probably how actual life was there. Like he made
(11:12):
like Days and Confused and uh other movies, but Boyhood,
um all right and any others before we go to
our break, Um a Southern movie with I mean the
gun stuff is true. I will say that everyone has
a gun. So how many guns did you have grown up?
I got one when I was twelve for like painting
the house. Someone gave me a gun, and it's it's
(11:33):
just like it's a totally different Yeah, it's a totally
different uh world. And with as far as guns are,
I mean they're everywhere all the time. Yeah. I had
a friend from Oklahoma who was like, yeah, we just
all like the thing to do was to drive around
and shoot it stuff. Yeah, yeah, uh yeah, And I
think that that actually gets translated into how a lot
(11:56):
of people from other countries picture America writ large if
they don't like get the sort of regional differences, so
they just expect everybody to be carrying a gun when
they arrive here. Yeah, that's true. You do. Like if
you travel abroad and like sometimes you'll meet like, oh
you're from Like, do you have a gun right now? Yeah? Yep,
of course always. I remember Nick Thune told me a
(12:17):
story when he was studying abroad in Barcelona that he
was like about to get like someone was like fucking
with him, like maybe possibly harassing him whatever, and he
faked having a gun and they scattered just even like
and logic went out the window, like as if just
because you're American, like you somehow brought a gun to Spain.
And he was like, get the fuck back on me.
Here out a gun. Because people sometimes pretend to have
(12:39):
a gun because they don't want because armed robbery is
more serious of a crime. But if you if you
believe in the Second Amendment, shouldn't you just have a gun?
Any Like that's the I don't know why the Second
Amendment people aren't angry about that. They're like, he had
a right to have that gun during that robber, right,
why are we penalizing as him? Yeah, By the way,
there's no way Nick Thune pronounced it that way. If
(13:00):
he tried, if he studied abroad, he pronounced that Spain
Madrid past Um, all right, that's gonna do it for
this first segment. We will be right back in a moment,
(13:24):
and we're back. Uh So, Yeah, this is one of
those tough days when you know, our job is to
talk about the zeitgeist, and also we're a comedy podcast,
so uh, when those things overlap with a mass shooting
another mass shooting like they do today, it's, uh, it's
(13:44):
never fun. There's not a lot of fun funny observations
to make. But there is sort of an overwhelming trend
we've noticed in the way this shooting is being covered
on on the right among like sort of conservative media outlets.
Uh they are, I don't know, it's just this preordained
(14:08):
like overdrive spin mode where they're already anticipating in the
conversation about gun control, and all of their stories are uh,
an attempt to sort of get away from that, including
Trump's statement which I just considered Trump to be a
(14:28):
wing of the conservative media at this point, uh, and
them to be a wing of the White House. But
his so his official stances this is a mental health
problem at the highest level, which begs the question of
you know, or which assumes that people are the alternative,
which is that it's a gun issue. Um well, I think.
(14:49):
And also it's important to remember, like one of the
first things Trump did when he got in office was
rolled back, like Obama, regulations that made it hard for
people with mental health issues to buy guns. Not that
that law would have prevented this, but if if he's
really going to practice what he preaches, maybe you shouldn't
have rolled back regulations that would have made it harder
for people with mental health issues to buy guns. Um. Yeah.
(15:11):
So the shooter was clearly someone who should not have
been allowed to buy a gun, and I think, uh,
they're finding that he under law, would not have been
able to buy a gun in Texas. But he had
this crazy idea to lie on the application and say
that he hadn't been arrested for all the things he'd
been arrested for. Um. But yeah, apparently just a complete
(15:34):
psycho of a human being when they go and ask, uh,
you know, people like none, none of his former neighbors
are saying the thing like, oh you know, he was
just a normal person who kept to himself. There like yeah,
this is about right. We voted him most likely to
uh do something crazy thing. Um, but uh, you know,
(15:56):
obviously saying it's a mental health issue is tied to
gun control. Well, because it's easy. It's it's it's not
about guns, about mental health. It's not about you know,
it's not about slavery. It's about states rights, right right. Um.
One of our writers was pointing out that the n
r A tweeted like something about the difference between clips
(16:16):
and magazines immediately after the shooting, of which I think
it was one of those like timed tweets. Probably were
assuming because they then went on to delete that tweet,
But I don't know that it's just an occupational hazard
of the n r A. I guess, well, you know,
want to just hire someone to just tweet, like, don't
(16:38):
just put everything on autopilot, because you know, the chances
are something can happen in this world, you know, Yeah,
they should just have somebody whose job it is to
just make sure that they don't tweet something inappropriate after
a mass shooting, since there are like a mass shooting
every week or so, I think it's been the was
it three hundred this year or something. Yeah, it's quite
(17:00):
a bit up there. So the really over the top stuff,
the Mike Cerna Viches and Alex Jones of the world
are coming out and trying to claim that this was
a like left wing conspiracy, that the shooter was Antifa.
There was like an immediate tweet from Mike Sernovitch uh
(17:23):
that said mass shooting at the first Baptist Church in
Sutherland Springs, which has a largely white denomination. Sernovich wrote,
uh quote Antifa terrorist attack. It was a question yeah, yeah,
so he's any headline that ends in a question as
uh yeah is not meant to be accurate in anyway.
One time, I think it was Nancy Grace had a
(17:44):
headline that said pot to blame. It was like for what,
like what could be for for what? Trying to blame pot? Yeah?
Um so, uh. Fox and Friends, as always is a good,
uh little sampling of of what is going on on
the right wing and really going on sort of what
(18:06):
will be going on after Fox and friends ends in
the president's mind. Uh. So they had a pastor on there.
There's there's this genre of story that they like to
tell after a mass shooting, and in this case it
might be appropriate the good guy with a gun, where
they say, no, the the answer is not stricter gun laws.
(18:28):
The answer is looser gun laws, because if anybody in
that church had a gun, uh, they would have you know,
stopped the shooting quicker uh And um. In this case,
there is a story that a good Samaritan with a rifle,
uh did chase the shooter down. Um. So we you know,
we don't know all the details of that if so, like,
(18:50):
that is obviously a brave and badass thing that that
person did, But focusing on that angle also has the
weird implication of like making these people like people I
don't know, like helpless and also like, well, they should
have like had a gun to protect themselves, like men
who like lost their lives and lost their family, like
(19:11):
weren't like manly enough to have a gun or something
and like And there's even FBI data that shows, like
between what two thousand and thirteen, that only three percent
of active shooter events were stopped by civilian with a gun.
Like to put that kind of emphasis, it really does
kind of make the the conversation a bit lopsided, right,
So uh, going along with that narrative, Fox and Friends
(19:33):
brought on a pastor who has a mega church I
think down in Texas. He has a church that he
says is larger than the church where the shooting happened. Uh,
and his take on why his church would never have
one of these shootings is pretty uh enlightening. Pastor. I
heard one report that there were a number of people
(19:55):
who were in the church but didn't have the guns
with them because out of respect for the fact that
they we're going into the church, they left their their
guns in their car. Is that common, Well, it's certainly
not common in our church. I'd say a quarter and
a half of our members are concealed carry they have guns.
And I don't think the church that they bring him
(20:16):
into the church with them. And you know, yeah, well
I think it does. And I think, look, if somebody
tries that in our church, then they get one shot
off or two shots off, but that's it, and that's
the last thing they'll ever do in this life. That's
I mean, he's describing like a mad Max type world,
(20:37):
like everybody's got distrapped and they're like, no nobody. I
wonder if he puts that on the church, son, like
you might get one or two shots in that. What
a weird thing to say about your church. We will
kill you. We have the deadliest Parisian deadliest worship. Then
to say it like they didn't have their guns. So
the responsibility is now on these victim essentially, like to
(21:01):
like or to even say or to try and enter
the realm of saying how these people had their guns,
then maybe this wouldn't have happened. Well, I mean, when
you're praying, you're supposed to take your hat off, right, Yeah,
so leave your guns in the car. Again, it's it's
crazy to think that man on the right, it's so
people just do not want to even approach the idea
(21:24):
of any kind of gun control at all. Like and
then if you talk to someone long enough, even a
super right wing person, super second Amendment person, they'll agree
with you on that. They'll go, oh, we gotta do
something right, But it just never happens. And also it
blows my mind that I've seen more like very sound
people like like comedians have offered up better ideas on
(21:46):
gun control than I've even seen like legislators like on
the internet. Well, once the n r A starts giving
money to comedians, those bits are going to drop off. Um.
I mean, you can't. We have the right to sue happiness,
but we can't drink and drive. And some people enjoy that.
But you got to crack down on drinking and driving,
(22:06):
no matter how fun it is. Ah, but I like
drinking and driving. I know. I bet there was a
guy in Congress who was getting paid off by al Capone. Right,
come on drinking and drivings. What country is built on drivings? Boring?
Not drunk? Um? Yeah? And then so another and this
is just a Fox sort of contorting themselves into a
(22:29):
really weird look to try and put a positive spin
on it. On on why this isn't as horrifying a
tragedy is as we might have thought. We were saying,
there's no other place we would want to go other
than church, because I'm there asking for forgiveness. I feel
very close to Christ when I'm there. So I'm trying
to look at some positives here and know that those
(22:50):
people are with the Lord now and experiencing eternity, and
and no more suffering, no more sadness anymore. Jesus. How again,
so scared to explore the topic of how to prevent
something like this that they just resort to looking for positives.
I don't care how faithful you are. I'm sure nobody
(23:12):
was sitting in that church a minute before that dude
burst in and was like, yeah, you know, we're good. Unbelievable, Like,
how do you even say that out loud? And then
be like, yeah, I'm proud of that. That made sense.
I mean, there's that's just shouldn't be on the TV.
That's something you say in your house, and uh, that's
an incorrect opinion for your home. That's a crazy thing
(23:33):
to say. I can't believe someone said that. Yeah, it's
interesting because they talk about like not politicizing the conversation
immediately after, which like only applies to guns, I guess
is the only literally the only thing it applies to
because uh, and only guns in one very specific direction, right,
(23:54):
because they are willing to say, which is arguably way
more offensive, that the people should have had guns on them,
Like sort of exaggerated example would be how the Mike
Cernovich and Alex Jones Is of the World responded to it,
which was to immediately speculate that this was part of
(24:15):
a Antifa uprising. Uh. There was a tweet from Mike Sernovitch,
I believe where he like quoted some anonymous conversation he
was having like over uh messenger where somebody was like
claiming that they talked to somebody who was on the inside,
and Uh, the guy came in, Uh, swore allegiance to Antifa,
(24:39):
ran up to the front of the church, draped Antifa
flag over the altar, and then made like brought out
a communist manifesto and then started asking people to like
answer quiz questions about the contents of the communist manifesto
and if they got it wrong, that's who he would kill, uh,
(25:02):
which I'm pretty sure has has not come out as
true or being confirmed. That was Mike Sernovich saying that's
that was from like firsthand account what he says something
that happened in there that is so fucking dangerous. First
of all, some people are dumb enough to believe that
ship and you're just creating this whole like weird anti
for super Soldier thing is fucking crazy, and I like,
(25:27):
you know, they tried to say November four where there
was going to be some kind of they were gonna
kick start the Civil war or whatever. Yeah, yeah, that
there was gonna be like that was the day of
reckoning Francis. But they were just like a couple like
anti Trump things like again to say that these people
are coming in and then sort of like, clearly this
is fake because it's written from the perspective of like
(25:48):
someone on the like deep alt right, who was saying like, oh,
this is what he probably like in a movie version
that you're trying to vilify people coming in draping the
altar and the flag, making people like answer quiz question,
what like a scene from a fucking Batman movie or something. Yeah,
so I it might not have been servich. Was this
guy Adam Johnson who tweeted that, and there's there's like
(26:13):
some journalistic take on it. Says Devin Kelly, who killed
at least twenty seven people and injured anymore, was one
of two shooters in the church. That's another thing that
you always uh here in the aftermath of a shooting,
like people always think there's two shooters for some reason,
just because there's like conflicting eyewitness accounts and so they
always assumed two shooters when there's almost always one, uh,
(26:34):
they say, according to eye witnesses who also report Kelly
carried in Antifa flag and told the church goers this
is a communist revolution before onloading on the congregation. And
then they have a picture of a inter messenger conversation
where they talk about him draping the flag over the
thing making people answer questions about dosk capital. So that's
(26:56):
the sort of that's what's going on out there among
the right wing. And I guess we should uh say
that none of that is true. Uh, And as of yet,
there has been no confirmed reports on what his motive
was other than that there was a church where his
mother in law. Yeah. They they're saying that it's connected
(27:17):
to some kind of domestic dispute he had, uh like
allegedly was sending threatening texts to his uh ex mother
in law. I just wonder, like with these Alex Jones
things or any of these guys, did they ever stop
and go I wonder if we're wrong like we were
every other time, like with Obama's birth certificate all this stuff,
(27:37):
Like do they ever go you know we've been wrong
every single time we've gone out on a limb like that.
I think Alex Jones knows he's wrong. That's why he
will constantly say he's a what did you say? He's
a performance artist to avoid any kind of like serious
like legal problems. So I think he's just uh, he's
just like the embodiment of just a really like a
(27:58):
sick fucking troll who was just be like, Okay, this,
this is the this is the kind of misinformation I'm
going to spread. Yeah, that's that's terrible. I just I'm
amazed when people go, like, because I know a lot
of people like during that thing, the birth of thing,
who were like, oh, absolutely, let's see that certificate. Uh,
and then once it came out that it was like
not even remotely a thing at all, all of him
(28:21):
just go I don't know, And I'm like, you're not
even embarrassed at all or like questioning the guy who
told you that maybe never listen to them again, that's
not popping in your head at all. I just that's
so nuts to me that like you don't like I
listened to people, But like any anytime a journalist lies
and gets caught I'm like, well, I can't trust them anymore.
(28:43):
I don't. I don't even if they're on my team.
I'm like, Brian Williams is still on TV. So yeah,
there's my my buddy Casey owes me from like two
thousand five. I don't trust the word he says. He's
a good friend of mine, but I don't trust him anymore.
He owes me ten bucks. You see, if you're listening.
I mean that. But even with your friends, right, like
people double down or like be like no, this is
the next thing or whatever. Have opinions. I just don't
(29:05):
hold up after the fact. You usually dever let them
live that down. Yeah, I don't know why we How
is every press conference not starting with Hey, Trump, remember
when you asked for Obama's birth certificate for five years?
Remember that that should be everyone of them should start
with that. Um So Alex Jones just real quick the
way he promoted his show on Sunday evening last night.
(29:27):
Uh quote, was this part of the Antifa revolution against
Christians and Conservatives? Or isis op question? Mark? Uh? Then
tune in live from the church. Uh and then uh
that just speaking of Obama? That pastor who's claims that
half are a quarter of his congregants are armed. Is
(29:48):
somebody who once claimed that Obama was the harbinger of
the Antichrist. So yeah, and he dog in this fight,
I don't think. And again yet it seems like they're prevailing.
Super far right myths are a like, everyone's quoting the
Trump thing he said, fortunately somebody else had a gun,
and then the other one is sort of like vaguely
he's a social justice warrior, atheist who hated Christians or
(30:11):
something to that effect. I know Drudge was like he
like he professed atheism or whatever. He swore allegiance to
nothing shortly before. That's crazy. I mean, what exhausting. It's exhausting.
How I also, any headline that ends in a question mark,
you should be shut down after that. You should have
(30:33):
your website taken down. Uh, no, one should. I can't
believe people are getting away with that. Yeah, journalism should
not be about speculating. No, I can't believe it. Yeah,
they have done studies on that. And there's this thing
called I think it's origin blindness, where people who like
people will have an idea that they read and even
(30:54):
if people say, like this idea is from a you know,
many times debunked website. Uh it doesn't matter, that idea
just still sticks. Like our brain is not good at
remembering where we learned affect Like you don't remember where
you found out about giraffes. You just know that drafts exist,
um miles. On the other hand, Alex Jones has a
(31:17):
great theory that giraffes are liberals actors there at next
or so long, sy can I think they're better than you? Exactly?
All right, We're gonna take a quick break and when
we come back, something a little lighter, a bunch of
stuff that will be a little lighter like light, and
(31:42):
we're back. Hey, uh so real quick one to go
through a bunch of other stuff that's in the zeitgeist,
not spend too too much time on any one thing
of I saw thor Raging Rock over the weekend, if
that is the name of that. I saw thor three
over the week and uh it was good, very good. Yeah,
(32:04):
I enjoyed the hell out of it. Tessa Thompson, who
is sort of the female lead. Cape Blanchett is the villain,
but Tessa Thompson is sort of the female love interest,
badass superhero she's also the girlfriend from Creed and uh,
the and the from the film from the film Creed. Uh. Yeah,
(32:36):
I don't think Scott Staff would have a shot with
Tessa Thompson. Very clearly have a crush on Tessa Thompson
girlfriend from Creed. Also the sort of sexual deviant chairman
of the board in West World. Anyways, she's in this,
She's dope. She's gonna be a huge star. Uh. And
(32:57):
it's definitely worth checking out because they gave a huge
blockbuster movie to a comedy director. Good movie, a good movie,
holy shit, which I mean, we need to find comedy
where we can get it because you know, comedies are
now streaming things so they don't open big at the
box office. So now everything is either a superhero movie
or a horror movie. So, uh, this is how we
(33:19):
will get our comedy going forward. Is as part of
It's really funny. I was surprised how funny it was.
There's a lot of emprising so much at it and
Baby Driver made me laugh a lot. Baby Driver, They're
just big fun I think it's such a Chris rock
me at the point where he's like, you get a
comedy director and get him to director drama probably is
gonna be pretty good. But get a drama director direct
(33:40):
a comedy, it's not gonna be It's gonna be a disaster.
The director takeaway. T T did a interview on Advice
and he's saying he's his next film or that he's
working on is a Nazi comedy. Yeah, we'll see what
I mean. Speaking of Nazi comedy, Larry David Kim in
Sceneless Transition with a hotta SML. Yeah, he made a
(34:04):
pretty off joke about hitting on women in a concentration camp.
It was just it was like one of those things
again we're kind of slowly seeing him lose steam here.
I don't know, like it seemed like one of those
things that it may have worked in a Curb episode
when there's another character there to say, like, Larry, what
the funk are you talking about? That's crazy, and then
he has to push back. But when you're just doing
(34:24):
it like it's a one way conversation with a live
studio audience and you can hear them like cringing as
he gets into it, it's not the thing that made
me laugh was it seemed like an episode of Curb
where like he was on an episode where Larry's like,
I gotta hostess and I don't know what I got
this new bit and and just like do it, do it?
And then uh So it made me laugh in that
(34:45):
way because I was just thinking, because Larry's character is
I'm gonna do the wrong thing, right, I'm gonna be
I'm gonna ruin a situation. So I couldn't tell if
I was laughing, but it made me laugh so hard
just being like, I can't believe Larry like it just
I don't know, because it was crazy. It really felt
like Curb and real life were like right there, which
(35:08):
is not a good feeling sometimes when you look at
Laria and then I'm going, I got do it pretty well? Yeah?
Speaking of pretty well, uh did he change his name?
How do now? Uh? Yeah? So I don't know people
who young people won't remember this, but there was a
period when we were a pre nine eleven world, the
(35:33):
where the world like did he change his name too?
Did he from puff Daddy? And the media talked about
it for like a full like six months, and uh,
I was very frustrated by that. I was like, there's
this nothing is happening here. He's just like, hey, look
at me and we're following through. So I guess we
(35:54):
will see now that he has changed his name to
brother Love, whether our media has why isn't up at all,
or whether they're still like what does it mean? Well,
I mean he's either really smart because he's like, I
can change my name and that that gives me the
headlines for at least a couple of days, because I remember, yeah,
when he went to didd, he's like, don't call me
puff anything anymore? Did not Puffy, I'm Diddy, And now
(36:15):
being brother Love, it just seems like he's having like
a midlife crisis kind of thing, and like you're he
already has money to buy like cars and do typical
midlife crisis stuff. So it's just like, fucking, I'm just
gonna change my name to something out there like love,
brother Love, brother Love. Also, I thought it was so
funny and his announcement when he goes, I'm not who
I was two years ago, right right now, and so
(36:36):
I'm like, okay, I guess so you're filled with love,
you feel like your brother Love now, But like, what
did you feel like when you told people to call
you puffy? Right? What? Just food? Like I just doesn't
make any sense, right, or puff dad? I just he's like,
I'm I was a forty four year old man child.
Then now I'm forty six and I've realized I really
(36:57):
really brother love. Literally nobody else in the world is
the same person they work two years ago. We don't
all change our name that we just kind of live
with that. Who knows. I might change my name next week.
If I do, that means I've had what if I
start telling people to call me I want to be Diddy? Now,
that's using it if you call me that handles? Is
that handle around at Diddy? Yeah, he's finally he's not
(37:20):
there squatting on that handle. I can take it. Um
And Rampaul got his ass whooped, and we don't know why.
The dude was charged with fourth degree assault, which is
apparently a thing. Uh, but it has all the trappings
of rand Paul having some kind of problem. It's weird. Yeah,
your neighbor comes over and bust you up like that
while you and you're a line. If this were what
(37:41):
Desperate Housewives, that's like you're you, you have sex my
wife definitely kind of ship. Yeah. Uh, that's also a
thing about the South is that it's a like people
are quicker to fight. I feel like in the South,
have you noticed that? Um? Well, I mean that's definitely
it's not thing for me. I last time I got
(38:02):
punched a second grade and I learned how to stop
and you learned how to sue somebody. Well, I was
just like oh, Like after that, I was like, oh,
I guess I was yelling at them about kickball in
their face. I mean, they shouldn't have punched me, but
I was. I really was instigating there. But that's the
last time I avoid coming. But and it was like
fights every day at school, like a fistfight over like
(38:22):
oh that was my milk, Like just dumb. So I
don't know. I mean I've never lived, you know in Boston.
I'm sure they're fighting up there. But yeah, I saw
fights all the time, and like it didn't even bother me.
I don't know what if I was just a psycho
as a kid, but like i'd be like, look, there's
a guy getting hurt, like and we would like one
time that we would sell tickets for fights in school.
You sold tickets. I didn't sell. I bought one because
(38:46):
they'd be like, we're gonna fight in recess and they
were working together. Uh and uh, and they were like
handing out these tickets like we're gonna fight, We're gonna fight.
And then they fought and blood and like punching, and
I'm like what it was so weird, like hugged after
and like WHOA a good purse. We just couldn't believe it.
They made money, twenty three bucks, were splitting third great,
who is the venue? Who is running the venue? It
(39:07):
was just outside and the teachers were like wait, no, no,
like you just have to come and be like what
is the I'm just curious that the ticket clearly meant
that there was an access point that you had to
get through, right, which is why you would even need
a ticket, because if it's out in the open, these
are two guys who like to fight, I wouldn't recommend like, uh,
you know, sneaking in. Uh and watch right, avert your eyes,
(39:30):
you guys sneaking in our fight? Yeah, I'll fight you next.
That was my fear. I was like, I don't want
to be you know, I don't want to be caught fight. Yeah.
People have written interesting and done interesting studies about like
whether the South is different. It like that the South
is quicker to anger, like including like measurements of blood pressure,
and that it's based on like then being an honor
(39:52):
based culture, and bacon, whether it's their descend like being
descendants from border Lands where people had to like fight
for their flock of sheep. But that'll be another that'll
be a future episode. Uh. For right now, we want
to close out with a segment with a visit from
our super producer Anna hosny A. Thank you for having
(40:18):
me um so two stories that we want you to cover. Uh.
You finished Stranger Things, and I really appreciated your take
on that. It was I don't like sci fi. I
have watched it because originally season one hype was so good.
I was like, hell yeah. And then I got really
into vapor Wave for a while. Oh hell yeah, I
(40:39):
was deep into it. I was like, yeah, yeah, that's
a that's the theme song. Is vapor Wave like vapor
I don't know if it feels like vapor wave is
more like to take like it's like post music music
where you're flipping like sounds I'll play It's like we'll
ride out on vapor right to write out on. But
(41:02):
the main story we wanted to bring you in for miles.
What are you calling the story Arabia majora yeah, so,
uh there's been some developments over the weekend in Saudi Arabia,
and uh Anna is an expert on the subject. She
I'm obsessed with Saudi Arabia. I'm single handedly, maybe one day,
going to take them down as a country. Um, you
(41:24):
are on this show, you like, I am oh whoa, whoa, whoa?
Do not put that on me? What I can't say?
I'm Irani and so I'm against Saudi Arabia because Sadi
Arabi and Iran have at. I was just saying, you're
knowledgeable about like you travel to yourround. A lot of
people are against him. Never you know, you've really got
to be careful. Who are I'm not tizing that with
a tempo. Okay, yeah, it's true. I traveled to your
(41:46):
on a lot. A lot of my extended family is
still in Iran. So I go to the Middle East,
We'll see I'll still be able to go after these comments.
So Saturi Arabia had a wild weekend, okay, popping off
all right? So this weekend the Crown Prince Mohammed Bill Salmon,
(42:08):
who if you don't know. He's the thirty something year
old new guy on the scene who is basically taking
all the power and pressuring people to respect prince. Yeah,
he's cool. He's trying to bring uh, Saudi Arabia back
to a moderate Islam. So he's the guy that was
like women can drive now and women are allowed in
sports stadiums and all that crap, and uh, yeah, well,
(42:30):
we'll see how it goes because Saturday talking. But are
they known for walking? We'll see. Um. So this weekend
he ordered an arrest of a bunch of different princes.
He had a billionaire, one of the richest men in
the world arrested, who's basically has invested in Twitter City
Group like all these different places. He's a very rich man.
(42:50):
He's a billionaire. And uh, he had all these people arrested.
Their charges are like conspiracy to I don't know, talk shit,
I don't know. There's no real Yeah, the crown Prince
means that you are right. And it's a weird thing
where like once the king is old enough, like the
crown Prince basically makes become the most powerful person. And
(43:12):
Mohammed Bill Salmon is starting to get very paranoid and
wants all the powers. So we'll be seeing the next
few months who else he arrests and what happens with
his relationship with the US. Because Jared Kushner was just there,
so I'm thinking that Kushner went to say, hey, do
what you gotta do with us backs here, Jerry Cushy
babies goes over there, and then all of a sudden, hey,
(43:32):
he does really sound like a child. And then all
of a sudden, like people just start getting taken out.
And I'm sure I have a theory that maybe he said,
don't worry, what you're doing is okay in the U
s backs you. I don't know that for a fact.
That's just my thing because the US really likes to
support Saudi Arabia regardless of all the terror they cause.
And that's all the time we have. This has been fun,
(43:53):
uh Anna, Where can people So if you want to
hear more talk about the Middle East. I have my
own podcast called Ethnically Ambiguous on the Ferrell Audio Network.
You can find us on wherever podcasts are and I
hosted with a Syrian woman named Shrine Unitz, and we
have great time and we joke and we have fun
and we'll take out Saudi Arabia and the White Men. Well,

for listening.
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season five, episode one.
How do we decide? What are we calling this episode
one A of the Daily Zeite? Guys. Uh, it is
November six, two thousand seventeen. My name is Jack O'Brien,
a k A. Potatoes O Brian, and I'm joined by
my co host, Mr Miles Gray. Oh, the original Black Samurai,
(00:21):
and sorry to Donald Trump that I could not bring
down the missiles with my katana. Uh. And we're thrilled
to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious
stand up Caleb Signing. And that's right, and I'm the
original Black night before see he was cast. They replaced
me halfway. It's got a lot of warriors in the building.
(00:42):
I can't believe he really said that. I thought that
was a none yet. I thought it was to someone
someone tweeted. Someone tweeted that at us over the weekend,
and I was just I was I knew he was
gonna say something fucking off about Japan, aside from like
the they should have known better kind of remarks about
the A bombs, which is way crazy. Voice at that too. Yeah,
he was like, you know, some people have underestimated our response,
(01:03):
and that didn't go, well, wha, like you're in Japan.
It's like, yo, bro, you need to like anyway, like
speaking in that vague third person like threaten tone. Was
he too when that happened? How's he taking credit for that?
He's again We're living in a problem world, guys, and
(01:24):
I'm just triggered by everything. Now, Caleb, what is something
that you have searched in I checked this a few
minutes ago, and uh, the last thing I searched was
young Dr Phil. I wanted to see if I wanted
to see if he had the must how long the
mustache had been there? How long has he been there? Uh?
Quite a while? Oh quite a while. Has he looked
(01:45):
like this? I'd imagine like that for uh, since at
least the early eighties? Yeah, I think, well, I think
it's an early eighties. Look, yeah, I think he's still
in that. I also searched yesterday if molesk and notebooks
were made of mole skin, and they're not. No, they're not.
They're made of skin. Um Oh. And also Dr Phil
(02:11):
another person who benefited from the Oprah effect. Yeah, nobody
we did talk about on our last episode. All Right,
what's something that you believe to be overrated. Oh, I
wrote down a bunch for this I got. I got
real angry, so I got into a wormhole overrated jelly.
I think jam is so much better, And I don't
know why they sell jelly at all. Explain the difference.
(02:34):
It's harder to spread jelly. Jelly is just like a
thick yellow it like makes your smushes or bread. I
think it's jam is a hundred times better, and I
don't know, and it's the same price. I don't know
why people don't up Until like two weeks ago, I
thought jam was just a word that British people used
instead of jelly. But apparently jam is no British people
(02:54):
just know jam's better and we need jelly, crazy that
we have it. So that was the first one. No,
there's no fruit in jelly right, usually just colored spread yes,
versus like preserves or jam where it's like, jam is
so much better. I didn't know that until I had
bread I had. I bought jam, and I bought jelly
like on consecutive times, and I was like, why is
(03:16):
this so bad? And my girlfriend asked me to get
stuff for toast, and she was adamant that it wasn't
jelly like like preserves the good ship. I think it's
the maddest I've ever been in my life. Was when
my mom said, I'm about to go to the grocery store.
What do you guys want? And I said I told
her this. I was like, I don't know why that
jelly exists. Jam is so much better? Can you make
sure to get jam? She goes, yeah, it comes back,
(03:36):
it's jelly. And I think it's a madness I've ever
been in my life. I was probably eight, and that's
a very together and demanding eight year old, Like that's
the only thing I'm a stickler about. But I can't.
It's insane. It's like, what do you think poison water?
Not poison And I'm like, I can't. It's crazy that
was water or poison water? That was when you ran
away to New York, right, That's when I ran away
(03:57):
every day and I lived in the sewers. To move
on to underrated underrated okay, um, I would say being
single is underrated. People go, oh, I'm single, I gotta
fix it, and I think it's fine. Yeah, every time
I'm single, I'm like, I'm not bad. Um. I think
being in a good relation, A great relationship is better.
But like I think of it like Margarite is in beer,
(04:19):
Like margarity is my favorite, but I'll have a beer.
I'm not like pissed when I'm thinking a beer, but
I do like Margarit is better. But people act like
if you're single it's a problem. Then, like sometimes it's
very fun. I've never never really disliked it. But yeah,
people think it's they get something's wrong with them. But
I think it's fun. Yeah. I mean some people are
better at being single than others. Also, I would guess
(04:40):
that's true. Yeah, because some people are wired to just
panic if like some people just can't have an identity
outside of someone else. Wow, I like being single, yea,
even though you're not about that. Yeah, they're both good.
He has a healthy relationship. Also, beds think beds are overrated.
(05:01):
I laid on the floor the other day and slept
for like two hours. It was great. Yeah, I mean
passed out, No, I just laid down. I was I
was like, oh, I'm gonna stretch, and I laid on
the floor to stretch and fell asleep and it was wonderful.
You might have a gas leak in your house, maybe
I do, but gas leaks underrated, overrated? That um also
like bad stuff. I think it's underrated, like um food
(05:25):
that's bad for you, Like people, Oh you gotta watch?
Is that movie good? Like who cares? There's bad movies
that are that make me feel nice? I think people
get hung up on like if. Like Blake Shelton, I
don't think his music is good, but I like it
and I don't think those conflict at all. People go, oh,
that's bad. I can't listen to it, eminem. I can't
(05:46):
defend one lyric he ever put out, but I enjoy
his music. So what's wrong with a couple of bad things?
And what's a Blake Shelton song to get into? If?
If you've never heard of Blake, he has a song
called The More I Drink And it's all right, I'm
gonna right that. It's just fun in the sun. I
love it very much. I listened to it all the time.
Not a good song, but I can't stop listening to it,
(06:07):
and then I don't think it has any redeeming qualities.
But alright, we're gonna get into formats. Is there anything
else that you wanted to call out as underrated. Oh yeah,
there's just comedian Keith Albert stad. I think he's like
the funniest guy in the world, and I bring him
up all the time and he's he's doing well. But
like I think he's like people everyone should know him,
most famous. Yeah, check him out. He's the funniest guy
(06:28):
in the world. All Right, we're gonna get into the zeitgeist. Uh,
before getting into the show, we're trying to take a
sample of the ideas. They're out there changing the world,
whether we're looking or not. We talked about politics, the president,
the news. We also talked about movies and supermarket tabloids, uh,
because you know, lots of people passed by tabloids every
(06:50):
day when they're buying milk. People still buy milk, still
see those tabloid headlines, so they influenced the zeitgeist. So,
like I said, we talked about move vis a lot
because I think movies, more than anything influence the zeitgeist
and TV. Like basically, movies supply all your images for
anything that you haven't experienced. So if you haven't gone
(07:14):
and fought in the Vietnam War, when I say the
Vietnam War, you picture probably forrest gump or tropic thunder.
Probably not tropic thunder. Uh, but um, Caleb, you're from
a part of the world that a lot of people
haven't visited, and uh, you know that they're probably getting
(07:34):
a lot of their ideas for how that part of
the world operates, uh from movies. So you're from the South, Yes,
what what is that? The South? The South? Well, we lost,
that's the first thing to remember, and that affects everyone
there on a constant basis. Yeah. Yeah, you got that
(07:55):
whole loser thing going on. Uh we lost the big
one and uh and some how there's still people like
all the time growing up you see that, Oh the
South will rise again. People have that on belt buckles
and bumper stickers, like really into that somehow. So that's
still like constant and like just always present. Is that loss.
There's still kind of sprit from that. But it's also
(08:15):
you know, it's a global thing now. So like the South,
we have paved roads and air conditioning, which was not
the case a hundred years ago. Uh So the South
is people still have hundred years ago stereotypes. There's a
lot of things that aren't true. But it's like tons
of people moved there from everywhere, like all over the place.
Uh So it's not that it's not you know, Deliverance.
(08:38):
You know, parts of it are right, parts of it are.
But like whenever I would see a movie set in
the South and it would be like it's it's in
the South, and everybody's like, well yellow and like everyone
has that accent, I'm like, I've never I feel like
that is not the most common thing, Like, I just
it's insane. I'm like everyone doesn't have. It's like when
(08:59):
you see movie and everyone's wearing clothes from the year
and it's like, not everyone has clothes they bought in
the last month, Like it's nineteen sixty two and everyone's
were in nineteen sixty two and driving a sixty two
car and it's just like what that that's it looks weird.
So yeah, yeah, it's like not everybody has none of
my friends have an accent. Really. Um But and another
(09:20):
thing that didn't happen until I moved here. When people
find out I'm they go, ohlier from the South. You
ever funck your cousin? And I'm like, gee, that's really forward.
That is that. I don't know why that is in
the South. I don't. I don't know who's doing that. Yeah,
that's a that's a that's a weird thing to just
people say that very casually. Yeah, I don't. I'm not
(09:42):
familiar with that. I don't know why. Maybe that happens
more in the South in other places, but I don't.
Are there things that you wish films portrayed like the
way they portrayed the South that would feel more accurate
to people who live in the South? Um, I really
the accents are almost always incorrect. The most common one
you see, you ever see Big Fish would go well,
(10:04):
and I'm like, that is one town that's just Savannah.
I'll just drive out. The South has so much the
Texas accent it's very different from a Georgia accent, and
that the Louisiana accent is very different. Yeah, there's a
lot of different Southern accents and you hear them do
the same one. It's just yeah, yeah, I feel like
(10:27):
there are two modes of the South. There is like, uh,
you know, coming like yeah, cowboy like they've got a
lot of lessons to teach us city slickers, uh doc
Hollywood style where it's like a charming small town and
then there's like horror movie like Deliverance, like The Hills
Have Eyes Chansaw Masacer and you don't really get much
(10:49):
in between. Um. Yeah, there's not a lot of movies
set in the South where everything's fine, right, It's always
something terrible. I feel like Richard Linklater does a good
job of because as he like was raised in Austin
and lives in Austin and sets his movies in Austin,
and they have like a nice texture of like, yeah,
that's probably how actual life was there. Like he made
(11:12):
like Days and Confused and uh other movies, but Boyhood,
um all right and any others before we go to
our break, Um a Southern movie with I mean the
gun stuff is true. I will say that everyone has
a gun. So how many guns did you have grown up?
I got one when I was twelve for like painting
the house. Someone gave me a gun, and it's it's
(11:33):
just like it's a totally different Yeah, it's a totally
different uh world. And with as far as guns are,
I mean they're everywhere all the time. Yeah. I had
a friend from Oklahoma who was like, yeah, we just
all like the thing to do was to drive around
and shoot it stuff. Yeah, yeah, uh yeah, And I
think that that actually gets translated into how a lot
(11:56):
of people from other countries picture America writ large if
they don't like get the sort of regional differences, so
they just expect everybody to be carrying a gun when
they arrive here. Yeah, that's true. You do. Like if
you travel abroad and like sometimes you'll meet like, oh
you're from Like, do you have a gun right now? Yeah? Yep,
of course always. I remember Nick Thune told me a
(12:17):
story when he was studying abroad in Barcelona that he
was like about to get like someone was like fucking
with him, like maybe possibly harassing him whatever, and he
faked having a gun and they scattered just even like
and logic went out the window, like as if just
because you're American, like you somehow brought a gun to Spain.
And he was like, get the fuck back on me.
Here out a gun. Because people sometimes pretend to have
(12:39):
a gun because they don't want because armed robbery is
more serious of a crime. But if you if you
believe in the Second Amendment, shouldn't you just have a gun?
Any Like that's the I don't know why the Second
Amendment people aren't angry about that. They're like, he had
a right to have that gun during that robber, right,
why are we penalizing as him? Yeah, By the way,
there's no way Nick Thune pronounced it that way. If
(13:00):
he tried, if he studied abroad, he pronounced that Spain
Madrid past Um, all right, that's gonna do it for
this first segment. We will be right back in a moment,
(13:24):
and we're back. Uh So, Yeah, this is one of
those tough days when you know, our job is to
talk about the zeitgeist, and also we're a comedy podcast,
so uh, when those things overlap with a mass shooting
another mass shooting like they do today, it's, uh, it's
(13:44):
never fun. There's not a lot of fun funny observations
to make. But there is sort of an overwhelming trend
we've noticed in the way this shooting is being covered
on on the right among like sort of conservative media outlets.
Uh they are, I don't know, it's just this preordained
(14:08):
like overdrive spin mode where they're already anticipating in the
conversation about gun control, and all of their stories are uh,
an attempt to sort of get away from that, including
Trump's statement which I just considered Trump to be a
(14:28):
wing of the conservative media at this point, uh, and
them to be a wing of the White House. But
his so his official stances this is a mental health
problem at the highest level, which begs the question of
you know, or which assumes that people are the alternative,
which is that it's a gun issue. Um well, I think.
(14:49):
And also it's important to remember, like one of the
first things Trump did when he got in office was
rolled back, like Obama, regulations that made it hard for
people with mental health issues to buy guns. Not that
that law would have prevented this, but if if he's
really going to practice what he preaches, maybe you shouldn't
have rolled back regulations that would have made it harder
for people with mental health issues to buy guns. Um. Yeah.
(15:11):
So the shooter was clearly someone who should not have
been allowed to buy a gun, and I think, uh,
they're finding that he under law, would not have been
able to buy a gun in Texas. But he had
this crazy idea to lie on the application and say
that he hadn't been arrested for all the things he'd
been arrested for. Um. But yeah, apparently just a complete
(15:34):
psycho of a human being when they go and ask, uh,
you know, people like none, none of his former neighbors
are saying the thing like, oh you know, he was
just a normal person who kept to himself. There like yeah,
this is about right. We voted him most likely to
uh do something crazy thing. Um, but uh, you know,
(15:56):
obviously saying it's a mental health issue is tied to
gun control. Well, because it's easy. It's it's it's not
about guns, about mental health. It's not about you know,
it's not about slavery. It's about states rights, right right. Um.
One of our writers was pointing out that the n
r A tweeted like something about the difference between clips
(16:16):
and magazines immediately after the shooting, of which I think
it was one of those like timed tweets. Probably were
assuming because they then went on to delete that tweet,
But I don't know that it's just an occupational hazard
of the n r A. I guess, well, you know,
want to just hire someone to just tweet, like, don't
(16:38):
just put everything on autopilot, because you know, the chances
are something can happen in this world, you know, Yeah,
they should just have somebody whose job it is to
just make sure that they don't tweet something inappropriate after
a mass shooting, since there are like a mass shooting
every week or so, I think it's been the was
it three hundred this year or something. Yeah, it's quite
(17:00):
a bit up there. So the really over the top stuff,
the Mike Cerna Viches and Alex Jones of the world
are coming out and trying to claim that this was
a like left wing conspiracy, that the shooter was Antifa.
There was like an immediate tweet from Mike Sernovitch uh
(17:23):
that said mass shooting at the first Baptist Church in
Sutherland Springs, which has a largely white denomination. Sernovich wrote,
uh quote Antifa terrorist attack. It was a question yeah, yeah,
so he's any headline that ends in a question as
uh yeah is not meant to be accurate in anyway.
One time, I think it was Nancy Grace had a
(17:44):
headline that said pot to blame. It was like for what,
like what could be for for what? Trying to blame pot? Yeah?
Um so, uh. Fox and Friends, as always is a good,
uh little sampling of of what is going on on
the right wing and really going on sort of what
(18:06):
will be going on after Fox and friends ends in
the president's mind. Uh. So they had a pastor on there.
There's there's this genre of story that they like to
tell after a mass shooting, and in this case it
might be appropriate the good guy with a gun, where
they say, no, the the answer is not stricter gun laws.
(18:28):
The answer is looser gun laws, because if anybody in
that church had a gun, uh, they would have you know,
stopped the shooting quicker uh And um. In this case,
there is a story that a good Samaritan with a rifle,
uh did chase the shooter down. Um. So we you know,
we don't know all the details of that if so, like,
(18:50):
that is obviously a brave and badass thing that that
person did, But focusing on that angle also has the
weird implication of like making these people like people I
don't know, like helpless and also like, well, they should
have like had a gun to protect themselves, like men
who like lost their lives and lost their family, like
(19:11):
weren't like manly enough to have a gun or something
and like And there's even FBI data that shows, like
between what two thousand and thirteen, that only three percent
of active shooter events were stopped by civilian with a gun.
Like to put that kind of emphasis, it really does
kind of make the the conversation a bit lopsided, right,
So uh, going along with that narrative, Fox and Friends
(19:33):
brought on a pastor who has a mega church I
think down in Texas. He has a church that he
says is larger than the church where the shooting happened. Uh,
and his take on why his church would never have
one of these shootings is pretty uh enlightening. Pastor. I
heard one report that there were a number of people
(19:55):
who were in the church but didn't have the guns
with them because out of respect for the fact that
they we're going into the church, they left their their
guns in their car. Is that common, Well, it's certainly
not common in our church. I'd say a quarter and
a half of our members are concealed carry they have guns.
And I don't think the church that they bring him
(20:16):
into the church with them. And you know, yeah, well
I think it does. And I think, look, if somebody
tries that in our church, then they get one shot
off or two shots off, but that's it, and that's
the last thing they'll ever do in this life. That's
I mean, he's describing like a mad Max type world,
(20:37):
like everybody's got distrapped and they're like, no nobody. I
wonder if he puts that on the church, son, like
you might get one or two shots in that. What
a weird thing to say about your church. We will
kill you. We have the deadliest Parisian deadliest worship. Then
to say it like they didn't have their guns. So
the responsibility is now on these victim essentially, like to
(21:01):
like or to even say or to try and enter
the realm of saying how these people had their guns,
then maybe this wouldn't have happened. Well, I mean, when
you're praying, you're supposed to take your hat off, right, Yeah,
so leave your guns in the car. Again, it's it's
crazy to think that man on the right, it's so
people just do not want to even approach the idea
(21:24):
of any kind of gun control at all. Like and
then if you talk to someone long enough, even a
super right wing person, super second Amendment person, they'll agree
with you on that. They'll go, oh, we gotta do
something right, But it just never happens. And also it
blows my mind that I've seen more like very sound
people like like comedians have offered up better ideas on
(21:46):
gun control than I've even seen like legislators like on
the internet. Well, once the n r A starts giving
money to comedians, those bits are going to drop off. Um.
I mean, you can't. We have the right to sue happiness,
but we can't drink and drive. And some people enjoy that.
But you got to crack down on drinking and driving,
(22:06):
no matter how fun it is. Ah, but I like
drinking and driving. I know. I bet there was a
guy in Congress who was getting paid off by al Capone. Right,
come on drinking and drivings. What country is built on drivings? Boring?
Not drunk? Um? Yeah? And then so another and this
is just a Fox sort of contorting themselves into a
(22:29):
really weird look to try and put a positive spin
on it. On on why this isn't as horrifying a
tragedy is as we might have thought. We were saying,
there's no other place we would want to go other
than church, because I'm there asking for forgiveness. I feel
very close to Christ when I'm there. So I'm trying
to look at some positives here and know that those
(22:50):
people are with the Lord now and experiencing eternity, and
and no more suffering, no more sadness anymore. Jesus. How again,
so scared to explore the topic of how to prevent
something like this that they just resort to looking for positives.
I don't care how faithful you are. I'm sure nobody
(23:12):
was sitting in that church a minute before that dude
burst in and was like, yeah, you know, we're good. Unbelievable, Like,
how do you even say that out loud? And then
be like, yeah, I'm proud of that. That made sense.
I mean, there's that's just shouldn't be on the TV.
That's something you say in your house, and uh, that's
an incorrect opinion for your home. That's a crazy thing
(23:33):
to say. I can't believe someone said that. Yeah, it's
interesting because they talk about like not politicizing the conversation
immediately after, which like only applies to guns, I guess
is the only literally the only thing it applies to
because uh, and only guns in one very specific direction, right,
(23:54):
because they are willing to say, which is arguably way
more offensive, that the people should have had guns on them,
Like sort of exaggerated example would be how the Mike
Cernovich and Alex Jones Is of the World responded to it,
which was to immediately speculate that this was part of
(24:15):
a Antifa uprising. Uh. There was a tweet from Mike Sernovitch,
I believe where he like quoted some anonymous conversation he
was having like over uh messenger where somebody was like
claiming that they talked to somebody who was on the inside,
and Uh, the guy came in, Uh, swore allegiance to Antifa,
(24:39):
ran up to the front of the church, draped Antifa
flag over the altar, and then made like brought out
a communist manifesto and then started asking people to like
answer quiz questions about the contents of the communist manifesto
and if they got it wrong, that's who he would kill, uh,
(25:02):
which I'm pretty sure has has not come out as
true or being confirmed. That was Mike Sernovich saying that's
that was from like firsthand account what he says something
that happened in there that is so fucking dangerous. First
of all, some people are dumb enough to believe that
ship and you're just creating this whole like weird anti
for super Soldier thing is fucking crazy, and I like,
(25:27):
you know, they tried to say November four where there
was going to be some kind of they were gonna
kick start the Civil war or whatever. Yeah, yeah, that
there was gonna be like that was the day of
reckoning Francis. But they were just like a couple like
anti Trump things like again to say that these people
are coming in and then sort of like, clearly this
is fake because it's written from the perspective of like
(25:48):
someone on the like deep alt right, who was saying like, oh,
this is what he probably like in a movie version
that you're trying to vilify people coming in draping the
altar and the flag, making people like answer quiz question,
what like a scene from a fucking Batman movie or something. Yeah,
so I it might not have been servich. Was this
guy Adam Johnson who tweeted that, and there's there's like
(26:13):
some journalistic take on it. Says Devin Kelly, who killed
at least twenty seven people and injured anymore, was one
of two shooters in the church. That's another thing that
you always uh here in the aftermath of a shooting,
like people always think there's two shooters for some reason,
just because there's like conflicting eyewitness accounts and so they
always assumed two shooters when there's almost always one, uh,
(26:34):
they say, according to eye witnesses who also report Kelly
carried in Antifa flag and told the church goers this
is a communist revolution before onloading on the congregation. And
then they have a picture of a inter messenger conversation
where they talk about him draping the flag over the
thing making people answer questions about dosk capital. So that's
(26:56):
the sort of that's what's going on out there among
the right wing. And I guess we should uh say
that none of that is true. Uh, And as of yet,
there has been no confirmed reports on what his motive
was other than that there was a church where his
mother in law. Yeah. They they're saying that it's connected
(27:17):
to some kind of domestic dispute he had, uh like
allegedly was sending threatening texts to his uh ex mother
in law. I just wonder, like with these Alex Jones
things or any of these guys, did they ever stop
and go I wonder if we're wrong like we were
every other time, like with Obama's birth certificate all this stuff,
(27:37):
Like do they ever go you know we've been wrong
every single time we've gone out on a limb like that.
I think Alex Jones knows he's wrong. That's why he
will constantly say he's a what did you say? He's
a performance artist to avoid any kind of like serious
like legal problems. So I think he's just uh, he's
just like the embodiment of just a really like a
(27:58):
sick fucking troll who was just be like, Okay, this,
this is the this is the kind of misinformation I'm
going to spread. Yeah, that's that's terrible. I just I'm
amazed when people go, like, because I know a lot
of people like during that thing, the birth of thing,
who were like, oh, absolutely, let's see that certificate. Uh,
and then once it came out that it was like
not even remotely a thing at all, all of him
(28:21):
just go I don't know, And I'm like, you're not
even embarrassed at all or like questioning the guy who
told you that maybe never listen to them again, that's
not popping in your head at all. I just that's
so nuts to me that like you don't like I
listened to people, But like any anytime a journalist lies
and gets caught I'm like, well, I can't trust them anymore.
(28:43):
I don't. I don't even if they're on my team.
I'm like, Brian Williams is still on TV. So yeah,
there's my my buddy Casey owes me from like two
thousand five. I don't trust the word he says. He's
a good friend of mine, but I don't trust him anymore.
He owes me ten bucks. You see, if you're listening.
I mean that. But even with your friends, right, like
people double down or like be like no, this is
the next thing or whatever. Have opinions. I just don't
(29:05):
hold up after the fact. You usually dever let them
live that down. Yeah, I don't know why we How
is every press conference not starting with Hey, Trump, remember
when you asked for Obama's birth certificate for five years?
Remember that that should be everyone of them should start
with that. Um So Alex Jones just real quick the
way he promoted his show on Sunday evening last night.
(29:27):
Uh quote, was this part of the Antifa revolution against
Christians and Conservatives? Or isis op question? Mark? Uh? Then
tune in live from the church. Uh and then uh
that just speaking of Obama? That pastor who's claims that
half are a quarter of his congregants are armed. Is
(29:48):
somebody who once claimed that Obama was the harbinger of
the Antichrist. So yeah, and he dog in this fight,
I don't think. And again yet it seems like they're prevailing.
Super far right myths are a like, everyone's quoting the
Trump thing he said, fortunately somebody else had a gun,
and then the other one is sort of like vaguely
he's a social justice warrior, atheist who hated Christians or
(30:11):
something to that effect. I know Drudge was like he
like he professed atheism or whatever. He swore allegiance to
nothing shortly before. That's crazy. I mean, what exhausting. It's exhausting.
How I also, any headline that ends in a question mark,
you should be shut down after that. You should have
(30:33):
your website taken down. Uh, no, one should. I can't
believe people are getting away with that. Yeah, journalism should
not be about speculating. No, I can't believe it. Yeah,
they have done studies on that. And there's this thing
called I think it's origin blindness, where people who like
people will have an idea that they read and even
(30:54):
if people say, like this idea is from a you know,
many times debunked website. Uh it doesn't matter, that idea
just still sticks. Like our brain is not good at
remembering where we learned affect Like you don't remember where
you found out about giraffes. You just know that drafts exist,
um miles. On the other hand, Alex Jones has a
(31:17):
great theory that giraffes are liberals actors there at next
or so long, sy can I think they're better than you? Exactly?
All right, We're gonna take a quick break and when
we come back, something a little lighter, a bunch of
stuff that will be a little lighter like light, and
(31:42):
we're back. Hey, uh so real quick one to go
through a bunch of other stuff that's in the zeitgeist,
not spend too too much time on any one thing
of I saw thor Raging Rock over the weekend, if
that is the name of that. I saw thor three
over the week and uh it was good, very good. Yeah,
(32:04):
I enjoyed the hell out of it. Tessa Thompson, who
is sort of the female lead. Cape Blanchett is the villain,
but Tessa Thompson is sort of the female love interest,
badass superhero she's also the girlfriend from Creed and uh,
the and the from the film from the film Creed. Uh. Yeah,
(32:36):
I don't think Scott Staff would have a shot with
Tessa Thompson. Very clearly have a crush on Tessa Thompson
girlfriend from Creed. Also the sort of sexual deviant chairman
of the board in West World. Anyways, she's in this,
She's dope. She's gonna be a huge star. Uh. And
(32:57):
it's definitely worth checking out because they gave a huge
blockbuster movie to a comedy director. Good movie, a good movie,
holy shit, which I mean, we need to find comedy
where we can get it because you know, comedies are
now streaming things so they don't open big at the
box office. So now everything is either a superhero movie
or a horror movie. So, uh, this is how we
(33:19):
will get our comedy going forward. Is as part of
It's really funny. I was surprised how funny it was.
There's a lot of emprising so much at it and
Baby Driver made me laugh a lot. Baby Driver, They're
just big fun I think it's such a Chris rock
me at the point where he's like, you get a
comedy director and get him to director drama probably is
gonna be pretty good. But get a drama director direct
(33:40):
a comedy, it's not gonna be It's gonna be a disaster.
The director takeaway. T T did a interview on Advice
and he's saying he's his next film or that he's
working on is a Nazi comedy. Yeah, we'll see what
I mean. Speaking of Nazi comedy, Larry David Kim in
Sceneless Transition with a hotta SML. Yeah, he made a
(34:04):
pretty off joke about hitting on women in a concentration camp.
It was just it was like one of those things
again we're kind of slowly seeing him lose steam here.
I don't know, like it seemed like one of those
things that it may have worked in a Curb episode
when there's another character there to say, like, Larry, what
the funk are you talking about? That's crazy, and then
he has to push back. But when you're just doing
(34:24):
it like it's a one way conversation with a live
studio audience and you can hear them like cringing as
he gets into it, it's not the thing that made
me laugh was it seemed like an episode of Curb
where like he was on an episode where Larry's like,
I gotta hostess and I don't know what I got
this new bit and and just like do it, do it?
And then uh So it made me laugh in that
(34:45):
way because I was just thinking, because Larry's character is
I'm gonna do the wrong thing, right, I'm gonna be
I'm gonna ruin a situation. So I couldn't tell if
I was laughing, but it made me laugh so hard
just being like, I can't believe Larry like it just
I don't know, because it was crazy. It really felt
like Curb and real life were like right there, which
(35:08):
is not a good feeling sometimes when you look at
Laria and then I'm going, I got do it pretty well? Yeah?
Speaking of pretty well, uh did he change his name?
How do now? Uh? Yeah? So I don't know people
who young people won't remember this, but there was a
period when we were a pre nine eleven world, the
(35:33):
where the world like did he change his name too?
Did he from puff Daddy? And the media talked about
it for like a full like six months, and uh,
I was very frustrated by that. I was like, there's
this nothing is happening here. He's just like, hey, look
at me and we're following through. So I guess we
(35:54):
will see now that he has changed his name to
brother Love, whether our media has why isn't up at all,
or whether they're still like what does it mean? Well,
I mean he's either really smart because he's like, I
can change my name and that that gives me the
headlines for at least a couple of days, because I remember, yeah,
when he went to didd, he's like, don't call me
puff anything anymore? Did not Puffy, I'm Diddy, And now
(36:15):
being brother Love, it just seems like he's having like
a midlife crisis kind of thing, and like you're he
already has money to buy like cars and do typical
midlife crisis stuff. So it's just like, fucking, I'm just
gonna change my name to something out there like love,
brother Love, brother Love. Also, I thought it was so
funny and his announcement when he goes, I'm not who
I was two years ago, right right now, and so
(36:36):
I'm like, okay, I guess so you're filled with love,
you feel like your brother Love now, But like, what
did you feel like when you told people to call
you puffy? Right? What? Just food? Like I just doesn't
make any sense, right, or puff dad? I just he's like,
I'm I was a forty four year old man child.
Then now I'm forty six and I've realized I really
(36:57):
really brother love. Literally nobody else in the world is
the same person they work two years ago. We don't
all change our name that we just kind of live
with that. Who knows. I might change my name next week.
If I do, that means I've had what if I
start telling people to call me I want to be Diddy? Now,
that's using it if you call me that handles? Is
that handle around at Diddy? Yeah, he's finally he's not
(37:20):
there squatting on that handle. I can take it. Um
And Rampaul got his ass whooped, and we don't know why.
The dude was charged with fourth degree assault, which is
apparently a thing. Uh, but it has all the trappings
of rand Paul having some kind of problem. It's weird. Yeah,
your neighbor comes over and bust you up like that
while you and you're a line. If this were what
(37:41):
Desperate Housewives, that's like you're you, you have sex my
wife definitely kind of ship. Yeah. Uh, that's also a
thing about the South is that it's a like people
are quicker to fight. I feel like in the South,
have you noticed that? Um? Well, I mean that's definitely
it's not thing for me. I last time I got
(38:02):
punched a second grade and I learned how to stop
and you learned how to sue somebody. Well, I was
just like oh, Like after that, I was like, oh,
I guess I was yelling at them about kickball in
their face. I mean, they shouldn't have punched me, but
I was. I really was instigating there. But that's the
last time I avoid coming. But and it was like
fights every day at school, like a fistfight over like
(38:22):
oh that was my milk, Like just dumb. So I
don't know. I mean I've never lived, you know in Boston.
I'm sure they're fighting up there. But yeah, I saw
fights all the time, and like it didn't even bother me.
I don't know what if I was just a psycho
as a kid, but like i'd be like, look, there's
a guy getting hurt, like and we would like one
time that we would sell tickets for fights in school.
You sold tickets. I didn't sell. I bought one because
(38:46):
they'd be like, we're gonna fight in recess and they
were working together. Uh and uh, and they were like
handing out these tickets like we're gonna fight, We're gonna fight.
And then they fought and blood and like punching, and
I'm like what it was so weird, like hugged after
and like WHOA a good purse. We just couldn't believe it.
They made money, twenty three bucks, were splitting third great,
who is the venue? Who is running the venue? It
(39:07):
was just outside and the teachers were like wait, no, no,
like you just have to come and be like what
is the I'm just curious that the ticket clearly meant
that there was an access point that you had to
get through, right, which is why you would even need
a ticket, because if it's out in the open, these
are two guys who like to fight, I wouldn't recommend like, uh,
you know, sneaking in. Uh and watch right, avert your eyes,
(39:30):
you guys sneaking in our fight? Yeah, I'll fight you next.
That was my fear. I was like, I don't want
to be you know, I don't want to be caught fight. Yeah.
People have written interesting and done interesting studies about like
whether the South is different. It like that the South
is quicker to anger, like including like measurements of blood pressure,
and that it's based on like then being an honor
(39:52):
based culture, and bacon, whether it's their descend like being
descendants from border Lands where people had to like fight
for their flock of sheep. But that'll be another that'll
be a future episode. Uh. For right now, we want
to close out with a segment with a visit from
our super producer Anna hosny A. Thank you for having
(40:18):
me um so two stories that we want you to cover. Uh.
You finished Stranger Things, and I really appreciated your take
on that. It was I don't like sci fi. I
have watched it because originally season one hype was so good.
I was like, hell yeah. And then I got really
into vapor Wave for a while. Oh hell yeah, I
(40:39):
was deep into it. I was like, yeah, yeah, that's
a that's the theme song. Is vapor Wave like vapor
I don't know if it feels like vapor wave is
more like to take like it's like post music music
where you're flipping like sounds I'll play It's like we'll
ride out on vapor right to write out on. But
(41:02):
the main story we wanted to bring you in for miles.
What are you calling the story Arabia majora yeah, so,
uh there's been some developments over the weekend in Saudi Arabia,
and uh Anna is an expert on the subject. She
I'm obsessed with Saudi Arabia. I'm single handedly, maybe one day,
going to take them down as a country. Um, you
(41:24):
are on this show, you like, I am oh whoa, whoa, whoa?
Do not put that on me? What I can't say?
I'm Irani and so I'm against Saudi Arabia because Sadi
Arabi and Iran have at. I was just saying, you're
knowledgeable about like you travel to yourround. A lot of
people are against him. Never you know, you've really got
to be careful. Who are I'm not tizing that with
a tempo. Okay, yeah, it's true. I traveled to your
(41:46):
on a lot. A lot of my extended family is
still in Iran. So I go to the Middle East,
We'll see I'll still be able to go after these comments.
So Saturi Arabia had a wild weekend, okay, popping off
all right? So this weekend the Crown Prince Mohammed Bill Salmon,
(42:08):
who if you don't know. He's the thirty something year
old new guy on the scene who is basically taking
all the power and pressuring people to respect prince. Yeah,
he's cool. He's trying to bring uh, Saudi Arabia back
to a moderate Islam. So he's the guy that was
like women can drive now and women are allowed in
sports stadiums and all that crap, and uh, yeah, well,
(42:30):
we'll see how it goes because Saturday talking. But are
they known for walking? We'll see. Um. So this weekend
he ordered an arrest of a bunch of different princes.
He had a billionaire, one of the richest men in
the world arrested, who's basically has invested in Twitter City
Group like all these different places. He's a very rich man.
(42:50):
He's a billionaire. And uh, he had all these people arrested.
Their charges are like conspiracy to I don't know, talk shit,
I don't know. There's no real Yeah, the crown Prince
means that you are right. And it's a weird thing
where like once the king is old enough, like the
crown Prince basically makes become the most powerful person. And
(43:12):
Mohammed Bill Salmon is starting to get very paranoid and
wants all the powers. So we'll be seeing the next
few months who else he arrests and what happens with
his relationship with the US. Because Jared Kushner was just there,
so I'm thinking that Kushner went to say, hey, do
what you gotta do with us backs here, Jerry Cushy
babies goes over there, and then all of a sudden, hey,
(43:32):
he does really sound like a child. And then all
of a sudden, like people just start getting taken out.
And I'm sure I have a theory that maybe he said,
don't worry, what you're doing is okay in the U
s backs you. I don't know that for a fact.
That's just my thing because the US really likes to
support Saudi Arabia regardless of all the terror they cause.
And that's all the time we have. This has been fun,
(43:53):
uh Anna, Where can people So if you want to
hear more talk about the Middle East. I have my
own podcast called Ethnically Ambiguous on the Ferrell Audio Network.
You can find us on wherever podcasts are and I
