Speaker 1 (00:05):
Free to one ship why the Victor says, shit, fuck,
I minimize my zoom on accident. People don't know the
every day before we record, we do we do accounting
in a British accent. And here we are at the
two thousandth episode and there's so much they don't know.

(00:29):
But that goes on behind the scenes, so much they
don't know. Miles doing a pitch perfect British accident, Free
to one, Free two one, and then Victor. Well, there's
a lot you can say about super producer Victor's British accent.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's he's doing one of the pirates, the guy who
is the Hello puppet.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's always out puppet, Hello puppet coded, Hello puppet coded.
It's very hello, Hello puppet Hello. I always thought it
was Hello Muppet, Hello pupp bet it's popated. Yeah, fucking
muppets weren't invented back then, Bits, puppets, poppets whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
We've got two thousand episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
This is the sort of thing that I should be
better at by two thousand episodes. Hey guys, sorry, sorry,
uh we just checked. It's not two thousand. It's nineteen
ninety nine, like we were one episode off. So this
for weeks. It's wait, don't you remember that?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Don't you remember the meeting Victor where we looked at
a calendar and we were moving our finger on each
day and good ninety two and we fucked up the count.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
And did I was the one counting? Maybe that's our
first No, no, that's captain. I'm pretty sure we got
it right. Justin Justin is the keeper of the count. No,
Victor's Victor's drunk, bro, Justin tell me this is that?
They tell me this is episode two thousand.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Why do I put the description in the episode every morning?
If you're not going to include that in your cousin?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I thought that was a joke. I thought it was
never ready as a joke. What is it? It says
in episode one thousand, nine hundred and ninety eight and
today smiles. Today we'll say in episode two two thousand.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
No you no, no, no, and we'll say, I'm going
to put nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, yeah, Well, look that's fine, that's fine because the
memory is so the same.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
We don't have a guest today. We did no guests
because you know, two thousand episodes, But that's fine. Nineteen
ninety nine is also that's fucking major bro. Oh my god. Yes,
this is so us.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
This is so us, Hello the Internet, and welcome to
season four to twenty four, episode two of Dirtily Thai.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Guys, it's a production of iHeart Radio. Let me just
get the count here. Yeah, that's episode two thousand. Yeah,
maybe and wrong? Yeah is my motto.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Look, it's a special, it's a celebration two thousand episodes,
and maybe we were off by one. But who knows.
There's so many there it's impossible to actually know. Well,
at the very least, we do know we've recorded well
over two thousand episodes generally, so too many.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Also, i'm counting of the episodes. We just decided at
a certain point that the Monday morning episode that's basically
a full episode, would not count, So we've been only
counting four per week. Look, people don't need to know. Yeah, yeah,
I'm preparing my speech for I really you know, was

(03:58):
talking this up to my kids and now I'm gonna
have to come clean with them.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yep, just like when you said Vernon Maxwell was going
to be on your basketball podcast and who didn't help.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh yeah, you're getting this. You're getting a look behind
the scenes. Yeah, Jesus Christ. Tuesday, February second, twenty twenty six.
We're not doing the news today. We're taking a look back,
where a chance for us to completely disappear up our
own asses and talk about the daily zeitgeist. My name

(04:30):
is Jack O'Brien AKA Jack off hand motion Brian oh
is for offhand island in Irish names. That's what those
stands for. That's courtesy a lacer RONI who is aiming
to replace potatoes O'Brien with a with a new one.
I kind of like Jack off hand motion, Brian Jackie

(04:53):
jack offhand motion. So I don't know, we'll see if
it sticks. They were like potatoes. O'Brien's what he says
when he thinks their AKA sucks. Shit, that's not true.
It's what I say when I haven't had time to uh.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
That or yeah, you're you're questioning your singing voice, Yeah, yah, yad.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
My vocal warm ups that morning. My appointment with my
vocal coach has not gone as planned.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, and so I mean truth be told that some
of the ak's are so good they're intimidating because the
amount of work that's put in. I certainly don't want
to end up half asking it, because there's definitely times
where I've done a few a few takes of an
AK and like, no, justin, hold on, hold on, I
have the timing right, I have the timing right.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
You really, oh yeah, you know that, especially when I
had one instrument. You're kind of a one take Miles.
Oh no, no, no, no, that's very kind of you,
That's very kind. I'm sure to be joined as always
by my co host mister Miles Grass, Miles Gray keeping
it all.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Gee, look, shout out to everybody who's given aks from
the beginning, you know what I mean, shout out.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
And we're going to list every single one of them right.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Now, all right, guys hour episode Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
a lot of.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Great ones out there. Christy Amagucci main you know, anoramic view,
anoramic view early days.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Back in the hand of Sault this days.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, yeah, we remember too many to mention. Well, we'll
go through, We'll go through and give our AKA flowers
out later. Then That's what I'll be frantically looking up
for the rest of this episode. But yeah, this is
we're looking back talking about the show. This is not
something we've done before. I'm bad at this sort of thing, because,

(06:39):
first of all, when people give me compliments, as you
may know, Miles, I'm intensely uncomfortable with that they do
a bad job. Yeah, I should just.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Say you can liar, And I'm like, that's maybe we
can just not say anything.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Who's this guy? Who's this guy? This guy buy an asshole?
One of the many vocal stems. And also at a
at a certain point when you record were this many episodes,
it just becomes an ocean of memories. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just feel like that it's it's all one continuous thing, right,

(07:13):
So it's hard for me to differentiate. So we are
using our listeners to help jog our memories. We put
out the call. Super producer Bay put out a call
asking for your favorite memories from the first two thousand
episodes and also asking for your favorite memories from the

(07:34):
next two thousand episodes, some predictions that you might have,
and so that that helped jog the memory and that
this was a very fun experience to kind of get
go back through. And I mean, like.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
To your point, we do this so much without thinking
about how often we're doing it. That being able to
hear from the listeners what really stuck with them has
been actually so much nicer than I thought. I was like, oh,
I'm gonna have a really fun like laugh going like
looking back at all these like funny moments we've had.

(08:08):
But so much of what you guys wrote was like
so sincere and so genuine about how this show's brought
you closer to people, giving you community and these other things.
That shit is so so touching for me to read. Yeah,
but also like it is great too when some of
you guys remember some shit that I thought was like
so stupid and I completely forgot about.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, and then multiple people are like this.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Thing, I remember that, yeah, which is yeah, that helps that.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
All the really nice things. And we're not going to
like read all the all the really nice comments because
I wouldn't be able to, like my constitution would break down. Yeah,
but and also because I still haven't figured out who
you're working for and why who paid you to say
those nice things. But yeah, it was truly special to
kind of look back and read read through all of

(08:58):
these We're not gonna time to get to the hundreds
of kind of memories that people shared and the really
hundreds of nice things, but I did get a chance
to read through them all and deeply, deeply appreciated Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, and look, I only got called out a couple
of times. I appreciate that, And that's one thing I
appreciate about I appreciate about ZEI gangall are honest, yeah,
and also allow me to take information in. But overall,
my god, there's so many things. It's like, how do
we even at first, like, man, we'll just read some
of the best ones, but there were so many good ones.
It was more just like we began to see patterns emerged.

(09:35):
Oh what everyone was talking about? And I think maybe
that's really what this episode is about, too, is realizing understanding.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
The lore, the lore of Daily Zekeeist, What fits what,
what has reached the lore of Daily Zeikeist. Yeah, and
I mean, I will say, speaking of guests, first and foremost,
I'm a comedy fan and I get to do a
podcast every day with first of all, one of the
funniest people doing it, Miles Gray. And then just shout

(10:06):
out to the producers, Shout out to super producer Victor
who books our guests and has our calendar booked out
and on a Josey a day one booking, the guests,
putting together this amazing kind of community of performers that
this show has been built on. Foundational. Yeah, those the
foundation and they are a massive important part of the

(10:29):
show that as we're going to get to it, we'll
get to hear from a couple of them later. As always,
we did this very very last minute, So it was
it was the people who were willing to turn turn
a voice memo around in forty eight hours.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
But yeah, we're like, oh, well, yeah, we're trying to
like do we get everyone on? Not everyone could get on?
Can we get a voice memo last minute? Yep, yep,
some obliged, most obliged, most obliged. But yeah, again, I
think like just just from the right, I think even before,
like you were saying, you're mentioning the producers. The show
started with Jack and I and Anna and Nick Stump,

(11:08):
who was like, that was the first that was the
very first iteration of this show, and Jack and I
used to pour over like transcripts.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yea, and who's been researching for the show from the start. He's,
besides Miles and I, the most consistent ingredient that's been
the show since day one. Writer from the Cracked Days,
great researcher, which you know you might have noticed a
fair bit of Canadian propaganda slipping into the show. He's

(11:37):
from Toronto.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I feel like Canadians always have the best takes on
America to be always, they're also our funniest Americans are Canadians.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
And I gotta feel like that Toronto flipped, Like we
we had some amazing live shows around America, but that
that Toronto, Toronto, the last live show we did was crazy.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
And that again another theme that has come up, and
Jack and I have been talking about a lot like
no need to we need to get back, to get back.
It's been fucking five six years now at this point. Yeah, yeah,
I think I think it's ready now that the geys Child.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Is a little bit older. People don't even realize I've
been on EHGH for five years and you've gotten three
rounds of hair plugs. I think this next one is
gonna take.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
This one actually won't get rejected by my body. I
hope graph versus host, I believe is what the ailment
is called. But yeah, like again Nick and uh JM.
Then DJ Danel took over on the editing and gave
us some of the most memorable sound drops of all time.
A lot of y'all shouted out the World Cup date

(12:38):
when that first happened, and Daniel dropped that fucking DM
track on us out of nowhere, and Jack and I
were like giddy, like sincerely yes, so pumped up that
we had a little sound drop.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
And then we'll just say but about the early days,
just to date this shit. We recorded the first episode
in A we Work, Yeah, yeah, fucking.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
We Work in August of twenty seventeen, and we did multiple,
multiple test, open test episodes to like really get this thing,
because we wanted people to be like, oh, yeah, this
is second rate.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
They're not even trying at all.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
By the time we did the first episode that came
out that process at all.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, but yeah, so you know.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
We work. God, what a bygone fucking concept.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Guys. We were at a we work, that's right, okay,
trying to just wreck the room and a we work
drinking fucking cucumber water. Yeah, having weird interactions with people.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
A lot of a lot of weird fake startups, A
lot of fake startups.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
We're going on there, but uh, yeah, should should we
get into some of the lore I wanted to start
with maybe I just wanted.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
To shout out the crew first because I don't want
let's go through nothing exists without everybody, that.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Geology of Zeitgeist.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
So DJ Daniel booth, okay, and we got Then we
got Justin the god m C DJ also a DJ
because after DJ Daniel said, the next person who it's
the main show has to be a djes thank God
for Justin, so shout out Justin.

Speaker 6 (14:04):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Then then Brian started doing the trending episodes.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yes, Brian Jeffries, Yes, Yes, is always in the chat
and a big, big part of the DNA of the show.
Producer Justin couldn't be a bigger part of the DNA
of the show. Making sure that we don't sound like idiots.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
And that's very hard because we are idiots, so hard
you cut out most of the idiotics, the bullshit that
we say. And then the producers We've had DJ Dromos,
Trisha mccurgey, Becca ro Bey, we got beay Wan, we
got Victor right, producer Execute Law the Great. The hits

(14:47):
keep coming and now that's the team now. So the
team now is Victor, Justin and Justin. Katherine by Brian JM.
That's right, and that's us now, that's our family now.
But shout out to everybody that was along the way,
because we learned a lot. So, without further ado, should
we open up the gates of the lore of the show?

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah? I think I think so, and we're not. We're
gonna there are some core pieces of lore that we're
gonna get to. They just kept coming up over and
over again. Some of them were expected, some of them
I hadn't really thought about in years. But we also
got some memories that I had liked didn't make the
I think they came up once and then got dropped,

(15:31):
but I think they're good candidates for lore. Yeah, so
we've got multiple When Miles mistook the Christmas pushpin for
a sexy lady on the Christmas bur last was that
this year? See, this is the thing that gets me.
I'm like, yeah, that was just a couple of months ago,
but it could have been five Christmases ago. I have
no idea.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Maybe it was two years ago, but I do remember. Yeah,
it was last year. I thought I thought, I thought
that thing was fucking thick. The dummy.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, it was just a pushpin on a map of
burlesque shows, like Christmas Day burlesque shows, and you were
horny for it. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I just saw like an hour glass shape. I think
it was like those scenes like were like a cartoon
animal is starving and they see like a garage and
then they're like that thing's a ham Yeah. Oh, and
then Victor said Myles was extremely sick too. Yeah, that
happens at the end of the year. That's an annual
tradition to me getting ill. My body gives up. But yeah,

(16:30):
I will just say too hard. Yeah, I have a
depraved mind. I thought that pushpin was dumb thick, so
it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
We also have. I This was something I figured out
on the air, was that as a kid, I never
I never dove into a pool for like the majority
of my life. And then you guys got to hear
me be like I did my first dive into a
pool that I was like proud. I was like, it's
so fun. Why why didn't I do that as a kid.

(16:56):
And I realized that I just like had a fear
of going upside down because I also wouldn't do like
flips on trampolines or somersaults, so just maybe a person
can't go upside down. Wow, Yeah, it's fun. That one
was courtesy of Portland's Sike Gang. The Pushpin one was
from an anonymous.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Kind anonymous Yeah it wasn't me, or don't worry, it
wasn't me.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Miles doing a bit on Mickey shooting someone when they
did the like Mickey horror movie.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, look at you you're all what now? What now?

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I don't even when I read that, I'm like, yeah,
I definitely said that ship, but I can't. I didn't
realize was that because of Steamboat Willy going into the
public domain.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, and I'm coming coming up with like violent ways
to recontextualize steam Steamboat Willie could be could also be
something totally different. But I do remember laughing so hard
at ha ha. Look, you're all what your courtesy of
Paul fay Glasgow.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Shut Out the Glass Regions, Ike Gang. Yeah, we love y'all.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
And this is one that really feels like it. I
don't know how this didn't become part of lore. This
is from ancient Chrome Cristina Cristina, who said Miles repeatedly
told his story of catching his dog shit in his hand.
Mid tid well in an airport to avoid the shame

(18:20):
and public scrutiny of others, and as an ode to
his Japanese culture of not inconveniencing anyone else.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
On bro, I could not be that person who had
the dog full.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I feel like this needs to be lore.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
It can be yeah, yeah, I mean multiple catcher yeah,
because then people have also brought up the story of
your old dog too with bad, bad poo, bad poo
experience that I think you had.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Did I tell that story on this show where we
went when I was shopping for my wife's engagement ring
and he went into the ring store and took a
wild messy shit. No wait, I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
I think you you had another dog traveling with dog
messy story.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh yeah, that's the one. I'm talking to ship everywhere. Wait,
so you bought wait when you bought an engagement When
I an engagement ring, I brought my dog with me
because I didn't have a dog sitter, and he took
the nastiest ship in this engagement ring store and it
was it was not They weren't like you know, they're
very nice when you're buying because obvious like hey would

(19:25):
you like some water. They were like, get the fuck
out here. They were so mad at me.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, you come in from just somehow you go in
with for your engage ring and then the dog you
bring just ships.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
All over the floor. What a uh. You hate to
see it, but also you hate it because it wasn't me.
It wasn't me, all right, And these are things that
broke border on lower or vocal stem. These just come
up over and over again. Astro pointed out, it's what
it is, or it's what it's, it's what instead of
We found ourselves, for some reason during the course of

(20:01):
recording this podcast about news, we found ourselves saying it
is what it is. It's quite a bit, and then
we just thought it was funny to use the contraction
for that one. Tighten it up, it's cleaner. Actually, Justin
Timberlake came in to consult on the show said, by
the way, it's what it is, it's cleaner. Yeah. Also,

(20:21):
we simply don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
We Yeah, that was another one. We simply don't know.
I feel that really hit the peak during the Mueller.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Stuff Mueller elections.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, yeah, we're what's going to happen. We simply don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Because the superduwer are Justin has a lot of work
to do in the background on these shows, so they
come out three days after we record them, so there's
a lot of stuff that we don't know. We're He's
got so much shit to work through from us.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
We just got to call our shots.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
But the other one, I feel like, let us go
is another one. I saw it too, for Let's go.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah instead of let's let us go Yeah, I feel
like yeah. And these are things that break break their
way into my day to day vocabulary and are only
appreciated by you on this podcast. Yeah, not always by
the people.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
When I say let us go no, No doesn't connect
with the kids.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
I tried doing that. I don't care. Twisters and people
getting sucked off into the sky is one of my
favorite things that you've ever said on the show. Miles.
You came back. You came back from screening the movie
Twisters with her Madge and you. You were laser focused.
I just came in with a mission. You were like, oh,

(21:47):
I got my underrated Monday morning. I had already seen Twisters.
I've never been more jealous of a take that.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
No other because the first movie was missing that this
one they were getting. I have no other way to
describe it, just straight sucks off off into the sky. Yes,
and I'm saying sucked off because of the change in
pressure with air, they created a vacuum in which they
were sucked off.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, sucked off into into the sky. It was something
you didn't really see. The first Twister movie was like
getting hit with a lot of debris and cows and shit.
This one they were like, guys, we got a new
innovation in cinema and it is the characters being sucked
off into the sky. Yeah. This this was one that
I was so glad to see. Get some love. The

(22:40):
Rocky quote an obscure quote from Rocky five, Rocky six,
Yacky Balboa. It's Rocky later era Rocky, not Cannon Rocky
at all. But you you got stuck on this one
moment where it's so stupid.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
I just remember watching the movie and being so mad
because he's talking in court and they're like, bro, you
can't fight, and he has like this one thing where
he remembers, wait, hold on, yo, I got some rights.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
She's already accepted the judge's decision and he's walking out,
having been like legally, Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
You can't fight, bro.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
And then he turns around last second and gives that, Hey,
don't I get right? Don't I have some rights? You
said that every episode for.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, it's just a fun it's a just the idea
that you got, like as if you had like a
coupon on you and you forgot to give it at
the transactual wait.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Right, like something is fundamentally.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Important to your fucking freedom as a human being, like
your human rights. You're like, oh, that's.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Right, legal defense as an afterthought, all right, I can't
do it. All right, you're on it thanks to what Wait,
don't I got rights? Andrew bubb from The Discord reminded
us of Christmas hams, which.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, that still comes up Christmas. Yeah, like Christmas hams.
We still reference anyone who's got jacked arms. Those are
straight up Christmas hams.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah. Because he was into like men's most strong men,
It's it's kind of in the same family for me,
as when Trump would talk about like, big brave general
is coming up to me, tears in their eyesight. A
lot a lot of people talked about big brave generals
coming up, tears in their eyes. I didn't see I

(24:36):
didn't see a lot of people pointing out that he
he was also horny for those Christmas hams.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
No, no, because some people are cowards.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Let's see Kouzzie and Amy in Deep Red Aston, Pennsylvania
brought up the Miss Piggy karate chop, which is currently
a vocal stem from from the Miss Piggy iconograph episode.
Sorry sorry, just chop the whole mic. Aaron Hatch brought
up how do you do that? How you do that?

(25:04):
Is definitely not there? How you do that?

Speaker 2 (25:07):
For the Yeah, the Trump computer? How does Baron? How
was Baron so good at computers?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
How?

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Robert also said Carvil voice.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, yeah, love a bit of cargo voice. He hadn't
been talking to He hasn't been saying nothing recently.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
He's saying just wait, still laid like a dead pozzle
for the for the fascist alligator to bite you, and
then you wake up and you say surprise, but it's
too late.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Surprise, surprise, I do just the had you do that?
Because we were listening to on the trends yesterday we
were listening to an old Trump quote. Oh right, the
mom I want to vape?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
So yeah, think they're coming home and they're saying, ma
I want to vape.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I definitely belonged to this category.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Fucking forgot that one. So honestly, that was such a
good pull. I forget who I'm let me just search
really quick, because that was.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, that's from the before people were giving their names.
That's that's a no on.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
That isn't an yep yep. But guess what you did?
You just so you know, you submitted that on January
twenty second at twelve oh one.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
If that anyone, we love you for it. We love
you for it, folks. The but also just the contrast
between his speech when he's talking about ma I want
to vape versus him telling the story about Baron being
able to turn on and off his laptop and being like,
has you did it? Yeah? Is marked a market devolution

(26:43):
of the human mind.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
But yeah, the clip where the ma I want a vape,
just the beginning, he's like trying. He's just doing this
whole campaign about vapes and being you know, marketed towards kids.
If you remember, he got a lot of pushback because
they're like, don't fucking come for my vapes and he's like, oh,
you know, we'll tweak that a little bit, but this
is the full clip of him talking about it.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
We have a problem in our country.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
It's a new problem. It's a problem with nobody really
thought about too much.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
A few years ago.

Speaker 7 (27:12):
And it's called vaping, especially vaping as it pertains to
innocent children.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, this is when he was still using just being
very verbose.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
My eyes aren't too good. Is that Bill Shakespeare over there?

Speaker 7 (27:30):
And they're coming home and they're saying, Mom, I want
a vape.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
I want to vape. That's how kids, That's how kids
get in trouble. They come home and they tell their mom, mom,
I want to vape.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I remember I came home and I was like, ma,
I want to twist my first l I don't need
a razor blade for this car Sea Vega mom using
my thumbnails she didn't know.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
And then finally just last vocal stem it. And there
are so many more, but these are the ones that
you guys shouted out that I'm really resonated. Is uh,
I want to fight me doe, which is a Matt
Leeb quote that I try and shout out every time
it happens, but it's it has invaded me my brain.

(28:18):
My seven year old now says it, Oh, which is great. Yeah,
I'd like to see him try tell.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
You what I'm training him. You better watch out. A
lot of people reference my Kravma god training. I'm gonna,
I'm gonna. I'm also infuse his brain with terrible non
self defense classes that were just ways to assault people,
which shouldn't be.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Surprising Elvis Karate classes.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, in retrospect, having a class fully being taught by
former IDF guys was never gonna be like, here's how
you defend yourself. It's all right, here's how I'm gonna
use my skills to beat the shit out of somebody.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Who I badly injure, somebody who isn't expecting me to
attack them exactly. And that's how I win. That's how
I win. That's how I went. Should we take a
break and come back with the Big Lord, the Big
You got your me because of my pants, You got
your Oh, so you're a tough guy. We're gonna we're
gonna hit some of the biggest ones in the daily
zeitgeist Hall of lore when we come back. We'll be

(29:19):
right back. And we're back. We're back, And it is
the two thousandth episode ish of the Daily Zeitgeist. We're
going through I don't know why I'm resetting, like we're

(29:40):
on the radio. We're going through our favorite memories, our
listener's favorite memories that jogged our memories, and we're getting
into the lore.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
And I think, yeah, we're gonna have to call it
lore because when we ask people for their favorite memories,
these like ten twelve things were the mo most consistent. Yeah, memories,
favorite memories. And we're like, oh, okay, we must now
this must be inscribed into stone.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Now you got to play the hits, you know, got
to You got to boat sixty six six on the
Discord Baddest of All Time sixty sixty six on the
Discord wrote, my favorite memory is hearing Jack describe an
absolute brutal detail on repeat at least once per month
from the very beginning. I don't think that's true. His

(30:28):
water ice roller coaster misshappened almost always. Right off the top,
Jack gives all the new listeners the inside scoop into
his absolutely one hundred percent true story in which he
totally didn't piss himself. First of all, glad to meet
a fan, and glad you agree that I didn't piss myself.
This is the reason I would do it off the

(30:48):
top because the aka writers, your la coronis, your las
Coroni of the world, would write an AKA about me
pissing my pan. It's on a on a ride on
the boards and blaming it on water ice basically every day,
and sometimes they were too good to pass up it is.

(31:10):
It does require a little bit of backstory, yep. But
I got off a scary ride with my nephews. My
shorts were wet. I have no idea how they got
wet and blamed it on wood ice and not even
my wood ice. I was like, somebody wants to make

(31:31):
water ice onto that ride. As I said, the first
time telling that story, I realized this doesn't sound believable
at all, that I didn't.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Because you're saying it and I don't know. I'm it's
not my water ice, but this is certainly water ice
from some from some of unknown providence.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Obviously, like I would admit if I pissed myself, that's
the thing about me, I would great content, you know.
That's what's soared about it.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm just like there was one person Martin from Canada
wrote in favorite memory every time I've got I've tried
to get my wife to listen to this show with me,
or listen to the show with me. Jack starts off
the show by talking about he pissed his hands every time.
My wife has asked me multiple times why he's always
talking about pissing his pants and doesn't believe me when
I tell her that it's just been bad luck that
he talks about it every.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Time she listens. She refers to this show as the
one with the guy that pissed his pants. Hey, I've
pissed my pants. That was not one of the times. Yeah,
and we'll get into those stories in the next two
thousand episodes. Yeah, I feel like this might be a
piece of lore that we can just retire. We can

(32:41):
just I'll just say I pissed my pants. Everybody can
just go what do you mean? What are you? What
are you trying to move forward? Because I I do
think I talk about it too much, but I just
you know.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
It's because you keep trying to clarify that you actually didn't.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Right, let's go do it again.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I feel like it is because if if I.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Pissed myself on a hide, I would admit it. That's
the type of podcast that was true that we don't
admit it. M all right. Up next we have Oh
so you're a tough guys? You want to you want
to tell?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, man, I'm in high school. I think this is
a senior year. I'm in the band room. We're all
getting back. It's like a Monday or something. So everyone's
talking about what they did on the weekend. This one
guy is talking about how he went on a date
and they went to go see anger management and he
was like, oh so bad. We walked and walked out
of there before it's even done. Couldn't even get like
halfway through it. Again, up to paint to give a backstory.

(33:42):
This is peak angry teenage miles whose parents split up,
which is also another piece of Lord that you know
we're going to get a call.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
The call, okay, the call.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
So I'm a broken teenager who's angry, who somehow whose
father thought the best way to reroute my anger was
to send me to Kravmagop and murderer school.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
And so he said, oh.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, I walked out, you know, I couldn't even finish.
Oh see here, Oh so you're.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
A tough guy.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Huh yeah, got right behind rear naked choke.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
I don't even know why I'm not a good Another
thing that people have pointed out, the amazing that came later,
that came like months later, is what is Anger Managing
your favorite movie? Month?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
No, I've never even seen it.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
You've never seen Anger Man, He's never seen in my life.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
And I'm sorry to that man. I apologize. I remember too,
because man, yeah, he he like cracked his chin open,
and I was like, don't know to teacher, bro, and
I had to go to the fucking principle.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
It was a wout. It was bad, Bro. It's a
dark moment.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
And I look back again, like because I was such
a discombobulated, like emotionally like stunted, angry kid. I was
always getting into weird shit, like getting fit. I don't know,
you know, I was angry. I was putting my hands
on people when I shouldn't have.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Such an appropriate movie for you to to be I.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Know, right exactly, And a lot of people have There
are a few people who predicted, and I'm gonna predict
Miles still won't see Anger Management.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah. Lauren from Portland said, oh, you're a tough guy.
Hunt has been a vocal stimt for the last four
years before choking someone out for having not stuck with
a movie. But their prediction was, maybe Miles finally watches
Anger Management Great. Maybe maybe I'm so we need that.

(35:45):
I think we need that. I think we're just just
for healing purposes. Maybe. Yeah, there's also a prediction that
we'll watch Malania together, which we're getting good content ideas here, folks.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, don't give us too many good ideas. This show
might be third rate or first rate.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Six point eight weeks was one that was bad, but
you got stuck, Like I'm kind of known for getting
stuck on things like I got a cole Gas study, JFK,
Havana syndrome. Those are all I'd put those into a category.
They got raised a lot of me, just you know,

(36:21):
they're being these news stories JFK's assassination conspiracy theory, where
like when it comes up, I can't not talk about
it all the way through and explain why it breaks
my brain. According to the superducer Brian, these are the
things that I'll be sundowning over it like that you'll
be hearing from me as people are just like put

(36:42):
down the shades. He's talking about Havana syndrome again, but
six point eight weeks was kind of yours.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
I feel like I don't know, And look, you were
talking about stuff that like really affected history, that shape
foreign policy.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Like what the.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Fuck am I reading? In this food and Wine article
from May thirtieth of twenty twenty four, written by Melissa
Kravitz Hoffner, in which the fourth paragraph reads for the
fucking record one more time again. The article is called
Eminem's just announced a brand new flavor fit for the fall,

(37:24):
the preseason to launch a milk chocolate pumpkin. Piemanana is
a strategic movie that taps into Mars market research. The
research indicates that gen z and millennials plan to celebrate
Halloween by dressing up and planning for the holiday about
six point eight weeks beforehand. Well, six point eight weeks
from Memorial Day is the fourth of July, so you
still have plenty of time to latch onto a pop

(37:44):
culture trend and turn it into a creative What the
fuck are we talking about? Six point eight weeks isn't
even a number, that's not even a way we quantify
fucking anything. Six point eight weeks is technically forty seven
point six.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Days, yes, which is not They weren't saying the truth
when they said how close Memorial Day was.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
And I love that we own the SEO because if
you do six point eight weeks, the Zeitgei subreddit pops up.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Okay, shit Kravitz or whatever. Fucking shit.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
But yeah again, I like I said, I it's I think,
I think for me, I was just seeing that, like
the AI nonsense.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yes, this is as we're policing AI nonsense, taking over
an Internet that used to be written by people.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah who like just said regular dumb shit, not stuff
they like. In six point eight weeks, they're going to
be celebrating the birth of what what do you fucking
shut the fuck up. I'm getting so angry again thinking
about it. It's potent. I don't know why, bro, I
don't want to talk about it. Let's let's move on.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
It resonated with a lot of people. Max said, six
point eight weeks still makes me laugh when I think
about it. I've tried explaining to my friends who always
end up like, girl, are you okay? Which it is.
It is so hard to communicate, but obviously people got
got it. Yeah, so exactly, we've got me getting my

(39:09):
whole shit bit, which was just that I was a
Jaws kid as a kid, and instead of being scared,
so this was actually illuminating. We got a comment from
Jeff who said it's crazy because I was also a
Jaws kid, and I always assumed I was the only one.
I first saw the movie in the mid eighties at
about five years old, exact same timing. Who the fuck

(39:30):
thought it was a good idea was sadly mistaken. The
biggest difference is that I was terrified of sharks. I
have memories of screaming and crying when my parents tried
to get me to take a bath. I'd have panic
attacks at the swimming pool and like hell, I was
going into a laker ocean after that for literal years,
but I would still check out every single book on
sharks from the library, draw bloody shark attack pictures in school.

(39:52):
Was obsessed with shark week before it went to shit.
I guess I just wanted to know my enemy. I yeah,
I the weird thing about me was just that I
was like, take me, take me, Bruce, take me down.
But yeah, I think Jeff, your reaction was much more normal.
And I'm a I'm a weird person. Yeah. Yeah, so

(40:14):
that that's a little bit of lore. Yeah, shut out, Jeff,
I hope you. I hope your moment pasted it up.
Next is one that I totally had forgotten about. It
was It's definitely one of my favorite moments in the
history of the show. But our readers brought back Quincy Jones.
That's what that one was.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Man, if I even look, like, how many times that
Quincy interviews reference, It's crazy how uh yeah, it's repeated.
So Quincy Jones did this interview?

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Ah god, what was it? Was it Vulture?

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:48):
It was Vulture. It was on his way out where
he was just like, do not the Quincy Jones I
doesn't give a fuck any more tour.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, And there was just so many. There
was just so I remember when we were looking at it,
We're like, dude, this shit is so funny that I
think the only way to do this is to like
read this as a script or something, because you can't
just be like what Quincy Jones said this about Ivanka Trump,
Quincy Jones said this about whatever. But a few of

(41:17):
you pointed out the specifically, there was one part where
Quincy Jones is talking about working with the Beatles and
his shit talking, and this thing was so the interview
is so amazing because Quincy Jones is talking just absolute shit,
unfiltered shit about whoever, like everybody's catching strays in this interview,
but also the pace at which he goes from like

(41:38):
talking shit to like going like hey like Brazilian music,
or like hey, you got a nice shoe, like all
these weird pivots really made it what it was. But
I will just read this one excerpt because I still
think it's still funny for me to read as Quincy Jones.
The question was what were your first impressions of the Beatles?

Speaker 1 (41:52):
And this is what Quincy said.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
That they were the worst musicians in the world. They
were no playing motherfuckers. Paul was the worst bass player
I ever heard, and Ringo don't even talk about it.
I remember once we were in the studio with George
Martin and Ringo had taken three hours for a four
bar thing. He was trying to fix on a song
I couldn't get he couldn't get it. We said, mate,

(42:14):
why don't you go get some logger lime, some Shepherd's
pie and take an hour and a half or relax
a little bit. So he did, and we called Ronnie Varella,
jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for fifteen minutes and pour
it up. Ringo comes back and says, George, can you
play it back for me one more time? So George
did it. Ringo says that didn't sound so bad, and
I said, yeah, motherfucker, because it ain't you. Great guy though,

(42:35):
great guy, Yeah, it ain't good.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
I love also just the level of shit talking that
because that's the story that Beatles fans also know, like
that Ringo would leaven Paul would then like do the
drums for him, but the fact that Quincy is like
they all suck shit. Yeah, was the worst bass player
of all time Ringo.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Oh you mean drum Oh I call him drum cock.
Yeah yeah, yeah because he thinks you doing it.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
But uh yeah that we got quote a memory from
Jamples who said, yeah, motherfucker, because it ain't you stuck
in my head forever.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
A lot of people said, you like Brazilian music is
also just offhand vocals.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Yeah, that was like one of that was his uh
nice guy though for another one right where he was
like talking about fucking Avonka troll or something, and that
was like, uh, you like.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
No, you know what it was. So this is about
Marlon Brando.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
He said.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Brando used to go cho chow dancing with us. He
could dance his ass off. He was the most charming
motherfucker you ever met. He fucked anything anything. He fucking mailbox,
James Baldwin, Richard pryor Marvin Gay.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
The interview asked, he slept with them. How do you
know that?

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Come on, man, he did not give a fuck.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
You like Brazilian music, greatest, greatest interview. I think that's
been in our in our run.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yeah, nothing reads as much as that. Yeah, passed away
in November twenty twenty four. Thank you, Quincy.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Up next, we got my son roasting me, which was
when I'll just read a quote from Emily long time
as I came from the beginning when Jack would talk
about his son and how they were trying to get
him to not come in their room, and he would
say crazy stuff on the other side of the door,
like kind of sarcastic and menacing. Haha. I forget what
exactly Jack said he would say, but I thought it

(44:32):
was so funny. Other people remembered it, which is why
aren't you answering? Are you death? Are you stupid? Oh?
I get it, You're stupid. He's fucking five years old
and he just like turned into fucking like Ari from Entourage. Yeah,
like Rickle mean in a way that was like seasoned,

(44:56):
you know.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
It was just like like rhetorical like you're dumb.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Oh, you mustn't be dumb. And he didn't remember it
the next day. He's just like what was like sleepwalking
as a fucking CIA agent from the nineties. God damn. Yeah.
Got that one from Shane from Rachel and Tacoma, Washington
shout out to.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Which made me almost cry laughing in a grocery store.
That was also one of my favorite things to read,
where so many people talking about cracking up in public
listening to the show that honestly, that was some of
the most like life affirming shit as somebody who like,
I don't I don't perform. I don't perform really anymore
unless I'm like, you know this, this allows me to
perform and be comedic. But knowing like shit like that that,

(45:40):
like when we're all fucking bullshitting and things like that,
that those are things that are breaking you down on
the Metro at your at the office on your commute.
That shit is Like I think that's the other reason,
Like we got to do a fucking live show, bro,
because I'm.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Yeah, we gotta get laugh there look at me the itch. Yeah,
I need the fucking approval. Yeah, because we're doing this
then to avoid like like we're making each other laugh
and then it you know, hearing from you guys every
once in a while, but like this was so cool.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
I always forget and people are like, hey, dude, I
love your podcast.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
What. Yeah. There's even people who like met somebody and
then were like becoming friends and then realized they were
both listeners and yeah, like that like made their friendship stronger. Yeah,
that's crazy all right. That probably the most commented one.
I think your most commented piece of Lore is the call.

(46:32):
The call, like and the no drama with which they
set it up. March seventh, twenty nineteen, episode two fifty four,
where Miles gets a call from his dad about the divorce.
Then just topped everything. That just topped everything for me.
So that wasn't exactly right. We're gonna go with uh somebody.

(46:52):
I think Karen Kan got it a little bit better. Uh,
Miles deadpan telling his dad live on the pod that
he still thinks about that March se what March seven
means to him every year when it comes around, only
to finally break to tell him he's joking and have
his dad respond with I disown you. Plus Jack chiming
in with, hey, mister Gray likely awkward and uncomfortable middle

(47:16):
school friend caught in the cross hairs. Oh my gosh,
so you we were recording, and you would whatever March
seventh came up, talk about this is the day.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
I think this was early. I don't know why because
this was so yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
I mean this nineteen, so it would have been the
second year that we were recording on March exactly.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Well, no, the first March we would have recorded was
twenty eight, yeah, yeah, yeah, twenty yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah. So the second, the second one, I think I
would trust you enough yet to really open. I don't
think we did it on the air, but I do
remember being like you were. I think you acknowledged the
anniversary that first year. Oh yeah, I think I wasn't
surprised when it came up in the second one. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Yeah, like here we go March seventh, because look, I
remember I've told the story, I was like, dude, my
dad came to my track meet because I was I
was a high jumper in high school, and I was like, dude,
this dude never comes to me. Like I just knew
something was wrong because he was at the track me
because he's he was teaching at the time, and it
was always well he was teaching, so I was like,
the fuck, bro, he lose his job, Like why is
he here? And then I just could tell and I

(48:19):
remember Buster Rhymes breaking Neck was playing on the radio. Wow,
it was so like vivid. We were at the Amelia
Earhart Park in North Hollywood, and he was like, you
want to take a walk. I was just like, bro,
just tell me, like whatever is going on, just tell me.
And then he told me like you know, like my
parents are like splitting up.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
But then, yeah, I remember calling him. You texted him first,
I think him he texted him and were like, hey,
you know what today is? That's right? You know? He
said what and I said March seventh, you know the
day you told me you did. And then he.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Called me like that voice and then like really he
called me and like checked it like really, was like.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Yeah, sweet, Yeah, he was like Hey, so about that, huh?
And I was like God, I was like, damn, that's
like there was another right away, not avoiding it, just
coming through being like, hey, let's talk about it was cool,
like a lot of respect for your dad. Yeah. I

(49:17):
felt immediately like fuck, yeah, what we should do. Then
it's like the worst version of a Morning Zoo prank.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Well you stillout your dad and then it gets so
fucking real that there's no comedy anymore. But the other
side of that is a lot of people are like, man,
it was just really cool to see that your dad
was like a really like caring person. Yeah, and a
lot of people were like that kind of made me
realize you guys were kind of different, Like you even
would leave that ship in a show. Yeah, but at

(49:46):
least but share that with everyone.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
I was like, yeah, I guess. So, yeah, yeah, I'll
have to let him know.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
I should get a voice note from him about that. So,
I mean, I'll do another one on this March seventh.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
This could be like a three hour episode, so we're
gonna blast through a few here. You simply must, which
was simply must. I'm the first vacation that you took
during the run of the show. You went to Italy,
oh Jack, and you came back and change. Man.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Well, the thing is, when you go to Italy, it
does something to you. You look at the sunlight break
over the rolling hills of Tuscany and something speaks to you.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
Yeah, it's you have actually ready to go. In case
anybody like mentioned spaghetti, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
It was one of my favorite things to become the
oh you simply must go. Oh you simply must, you
simply Oh you haven't been to toe, you simply must.
And I got to really embrace the role of annoying
person who goes to Italy once. Yeah, and yeah the
ship banks, So yeah, I was there. What are you
gonna do? Shout out to Shout out to Daniel, because
that's a Daniel original to even come up with this

(50:56):
track that I still have on the soundboard. So Daniel,
we honor you, thank you for this sound drop.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
RHCPK. Yeah, just a bout of temporary insanity where I,
like everybody you mentioned, was just like and of course
the crossover discovery of red Hot chili peppers in California's
pizza kitchen RHCPK. It was just like a random moment
of I don't know, it doesn't fully make sense, but

(51:24):
we the aks. We got so many good aks of rhcpk. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
That's when I think, honestly, this Discord and Zigang really
like we went up a level. But we're like, you
know what, we got a theme and now let's play
with the form. And that's how you know when you're
a genius, when you've mastered the form, because you can
do whatever you want and give us wonderful rh rhcpk aks.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Oh man, that was a right. That was a good time.
That was a real good time. The ship story, as
it was referred to two had times when I was like,
which one? This is the story my uncle and my
dad would quote allegedly allegedly saved their quote big ships

(52:16):
by fishing them out of the toilet bowl and putting
them in a shoe box. Was the funniest story of
all time, being followed up by Miles screaming.

Speaker 7 (52:25):
No, ja I remember it was so yeah, I that
was courtesy Bali Hondro with that memory, I'm glad that
it was worth it to sell my dad out because
he does not talk to me anymore after that.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Or didn't he really make you clear that it was like,
that was your uncle. You didn't make me clear though,
I mean, he was like it was the hardest I've
laughed in a long time, but so that I didn't
realize that my uncle Barry, what's up, Uncle Bear is
a listener and so she she was like sharing that ship.
He thought it was so funny. So my dad, my

(53:05):
dad contends that it was his brother who did that,
and in a competitive way. You see, you might see
a trend in my family where we're like that, no,
it wasn't me, that was me, that was water ice. Yeah,
oh wow.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
So that's the original sin of this family, the shoe
box denial.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
And then uh, Grimmacecum milkshakes just yea, my memory thinking
back from a distance, and I mostly see Grimmace come
and what wood Rice is from seth d. You know
what's weird about this one is like, going back, it
made me realize how proud I was, how proud I
was of the Grimmacecum milkshake thing, because we immediately were like,

(53:47):
that's Grimace has come, right, Yeah, yeah, there's something's wrong
with this, something's wrong with us come. And then it
became like this massive thing in the zeitgeist for a
couple of days, we were really surfing the edge of
the zeist.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Like the I think because we were commented because we
were following it, like when it had just been announced
by McDonald's, and you know, like when things were trip
felt trivial enough to still talk about, like new dumb
fast foot. I always think about that. I'm like, I
remember how much we'd like, do this is a new
thing at Taco Bell, And then over time, like some
things just become so inconsequential that they're offensive. Like given

(54:24):
the like the context of you gotta.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Go back transitions, we go back jarringaring transitions.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
But but but I think what was interesting is like
we we called again this I don't think has anything
to do with us specifically, but like we definitely noticed
there's something this, this is just fucking weird and odd.
And then ten days later, this like weird TikTok trend
started up where people were drinking the Grimace milkshake and
like it was turning them into zombies or like these

(54:55):
horror film kind of like slasher film type scenarios. So yeah,
but yeah, fuck it, you know what I need I
need to be like you Jack, Yeah, you know that was.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Us, That was us. We're proud. We're damn proud of
it too. All right, Yeah, we're going to take a
quick break and we're going to get to one of
the most important parts of the show. The most important
parts of the show and mentioned so often are the guests.
We have some voice notes from some of our favorites,

(55:24):
some of your favorites, and we're going to play those
and talk about some of some of everybody's favorite memories
with those guests when we get back, and we're back,
and we're going to start out with what do you

(55:48):
even say about Chris Crofton Miles that hasn't already been said?
This was, like I'm pulling from he's been on thirty
eight episodes. We had at least that many comments from
people shadow across or yeah, way more than that. One
of them was mentioned at least sixty times, sixty times

(56:11):
on people's memories. One of them was just this very
very short one and he had to take a break
in the e f to eat an egg. I think
that was lip scratch. So Chris Crofton came on for
the first time relatively late, like he wasn't probably there
in maybe the first eight hundred episodes, I don't think, right. No,

(56:34):
pretty late to the game, and he came on and
completely rocked our shit with an episode in which we
didn't get out of his search history until like forty minutes,
in which I did.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
He didn't come on until twenty nineteen. Yeah, February of
twenty nineteen was his first appearance.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
And I think his first search history was Mudlarking, which
was like a type of YouTube video where you go
into the no. It was Metal the Metal Detector of
Metal Detect. I think he talked about this in his memory.
All right, So we asked. We asked Chris and Blake

(57:13):
and Jamie Loftus and super Prouser on Hosny the same
questions we asked you guys. And this is Chris Crofton's
response to his memory of The Daily Zeist.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Hey, it's Chris Crofton. Happy two thousandth episode to The
Daily Zeitgeist. My homewoay from home and uh some memories
I have the time during the pandemic. It was one
of the first remote shows, and I had some setup
with a soundboard and handheld mike.

Speaker 8 (57:40):
And I thought it was working, and I was walking
all around the room like a game show host, but
it turned out the laptop Mike was selected and they
had to use the audio anyway, remember that it was
a blast. And then when I first went on the
show the very first time and they asked me what
my search history thing was, and I said, I watched
metal detecting on YouTube and Miles said what, like people
on the beach And I said, wait a minute, no,

(58:01):
no sophisticated metal detective. I said what and Jack said, oh,
there's some stuff on here, something called revolu a video
called Revolutionary War Coin. I said, that's Green Mountain metal
metal detecting. And then Jack said, what if he gets
this other one? This is the number one video on
YouTube for metal detecting. It's called Metal Detecting Bonanza. And
I said, m is that aqua sigger? And then DJ

(58:22):
Dan played that explosion noise and the rest is history
and thank you guys so much, love you, bye bye.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
That's right. He based on title. He knew which metal
detecting video like purveyor it was. He like had it
down like he's like a Beatles fan who's like, you
can tell this is a George song, by the way,
he could He could tell from the title alone, that's
Aqua Siger, which metal detective video it was. I do

(58:51):
remember the like it didn't just sound like he was
recording on a microphone across the room. It sounded like
his laptop microphone was buried under the floor of his.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
It sounded like if if his laptop was an old
person being like smothered with a pillow to death. These
are the last sounds it heard. Was sort of like,
what that record.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
And we would have just not had an episode that day,
But because it was a Chris crafted episode, we were like,
they're they're they're actually gonna love this ship. Yeah, he did.
Everybody loved it.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
A lot of people said the live show too, that
we did the like the remote live stream live show
we did when we were all wearing suits.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Yeah, I think that was four. Maybe I think four.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
I think we did something slightly different because we I
remember at the time, we're like, well, we don't want
to do two thousand because that was for all the
people that were at that tour, we see we remember you. Yeah,
and I think we did. That's why he did draft
suits because I was wearing a draft like I was wearing.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
At I was wearing pukashell and like Abercrombie, shit, oh
yeah on a Razor scooter.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
Yeah yeah, and then Chris wore I think full denim,
but yeah, a lot of people brought up the Aqua
Chigger call and how that blew our minds, And honestly,
that was when we were like yeah, yeah, yeah, even
though and everyone else pointed out They're like it was
so weird because they didn't even fucking talk about the
news and and that guy was on. They were like,

(01:00:15):
sometimes you just gotta check in with somebody who definitely
has is totally tapped in with the news, but they're
speaking styles like nah, baby, come on now, you just
you come come be you, come be you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
But I really appreciate the lip scratch Chris crofton having
to eat an egg that was lips lip scratch was
the listener who wrote in about that because that was
he got too cold Brew two turned up and then
just had to stop in the middle of the recording
to eat an egg.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
I think it was like his maybe third appearance or
something too, because we're kind of used to it and
he was. This is when we were off the Kirk
Siggy Cold Brew.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Yes, which is a piece of lore. There is lore
that we're going to get to in the cross in
the guest part. Uh we were saving for for this section.
That is kerk Sigy. Coldbrew is absolutely lower Craftman is
kind of lower unto himself.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
I feel like, well, and I think that's probably I wonder.
I mean, because then that cold Brew had him like
I'm seeing streaks of light and I need an egg
and we're like, what are you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
A hard boiled hard boiled egg? And then I needed
that okay, and we're like, yeah, needed to come down
in all right. Another piece of lore that is intimately
tied to one of our favorite most frequent guests sixty
nine episodes, Blake Wexler and Plumpers. Yeah, from a lot

(01:01:45):
of bumpers from one of the listeners. I don't think
they gave the name plumpers, is just how they opened
their memory Plumpers, Plumpers. I remember the episode it first
came about, and the sheer ridiculousness of the concept sent
me into a hal and cackle. And then this is
just a not related to that lore, but a very

(01:02:05):
very blak memory from Sparkles from the discord. When Blake
Wexler answered Miles's question to Paula Vganalen about if cabbage
is a big ingredient in Indian cooking. He just jumped
in with perfect timing and said, I'll take this one.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Perfect timing, that's what he's got. And he says he
has a favorite memory. I don't recall this happening, but.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Oh, I haven't heard this one. Okay, let's let's give
it a listen.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
Okay, this is Blake Wexler's favorite memory.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
Hey, everybody, it's Blake Wexler. Read.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
My favorite memory is this year I got to see
Jack and Miles in person for the first time since COVID,
and I've always known Myles to be an extreme.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
First of all, is that true?

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
What is he talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
That this was the first time we'd met in person?

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
And no, he's seen us since since I've seen him.
When was the last time we both saw him together?
I don't think we've seen him. I've seen him solo.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Yeah, we both Yeah, I saw him solo as well.
At the point did the us open thing? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
that sounds for like five minutes and then had to
run run out the door.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Yeah, because he was very brief he was pointing at
his plumpers and he's like, they're gonna get you.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
Okay, here's Blake for the first time since COVID. And
I've always known Myles to be an extremely driven human being,
and I love that about him. But it was really
impressive seeing that drive, that passion applied to not paying
for dinner. We went out, had a nice evening, and
then the check comes. Miles immediately reaches across the table

(01:03:37):
slaps me across the face so hard that I fall
out of my chair hit the ground. He then pins
me down, pulls out my wallet, pulls out my credit card,
shoves it into the server's mouth, and then goes run it,
run it, and server comes back and says, I'm sorry
the card was declined, which has nothing to do with
my finances. He just chose to own card, and this

(01:03:58):
process repeated itself until then went through prediction. I will
say that at some point Jack will come out as
six foot one. I love you, Zigang.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
That's amazing. That does that does check? By the way,
all right, I do remember that the very first one
of the my earliest laughing so hard I didn't know
what to do with myself. Memories from you. I remember,
was you talking about how you like to do a
bit when you're on a date where you say you

(01:04:31):
forgot your wall crying?

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Yeah, first you go, you gotta go. Oh sh you
gotta really sell it, you gotta really sell it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Oh my god. Up next, we have the most prolific
daily guest of all time, Yeah, Jamie Loftus. A lot
of people called out the pandemic. Pandemic episodes in which
Jamie came on. We didn't know what we were doing,
like people didn't have at home recording setups. We were

(01:05:07):
just like, all right, we're going to try the saddest Yeah,
only the saddest podcasters amongst us. We're ready to go.
And Jamie had one and also our favorite guest in
the whole world was shut down and we had to
We were like, is there any way you could just
guessed until the world opens back up in another week

(01:05:31):
and another week? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Another thing pointed put it out when you called the
pandemic a snow day?

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
How much needed snow day? That's the one that is
one that I definitely did not forget. That was one
where you don't forget. Oh yeah, I mean you your dad,
How could you have known you still think about that? Okay,
you want to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
I still love you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
I Yeah that was. I was like, man, I should
shut the fuck up about certain things.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
I remember when Lacey and I were like black people
not getting COVID. Yeah, I remember that was. And I
remember Lacey and I were texting after like oh no, no,
We're like, okay, so Tom Hanks got it this, We're like,
what are we noticing? Oh god, look we were, Look
we were we didn't know, we knew not what was happening.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
But yeah, I didn't think about it. I still remember
being like, well, the world could use a couple weeks off,
you know, everything shuts down, it's like a global snow day.
What's the worst that could happen? And a lot I
stand by that. I felt that about that one immediately,
But thank you. I'm glad everybody else remember that, so
I don't feel so mentally ill that I that I

(01:06:46):
like think about that all the time, like you know
what I mean, Like that it's just like, yeah, no,
that was crazy thing to say, right right right, But yeah,
we got a lot of you know, the pandemic episodes
with Jamie kept me somewhat saying through it all from
a favorite memory the Bengazi era of the pod during
the height of Me Too. That was Mengazi. That was

(01:07:08):
I think that was a Jamie Loftus original. And then
the one that we really got a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Of No Mengazi was from a listener, was it? Yeah,
And I remember we met that listener at the DC
Live show.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
I feel like is when we met them and they
were like, yo, I'm the one who said Mengz.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
I'm like, yes, exactly, damn yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
I just did a thing that a lot of our
listeners did where like they would give they'd be like
Chris Crofting used to do this thing with myths where
he would say Greek myths that Guy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
That was actually I mean, we didn't get a recording
from Guy in time, but that was probably one of
the top four mentioned favorite memories for people was the
Guy Montgomery literal taking the what's a myth question and that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
We used toog and just telling the story of Icarus
or something is oh, my, incredible, incredible work from Guy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
But yeah, Jamie, Like I gotta say, I I first
knew of Jamie when I we worked at Playboy together
and people were like Oh, that writer over there. She's
also a comedian, and I was like, oh, I rarely
see her, and I'm like, I like I just knew
I knew of her. And then when we started recording together,
it's like one of those things where you go like
I remember, like, okay, but maybe she's a comedian or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
I wasn't familiar with her, and then I became from
there and I was like, Oh, this person's like fuck,
some kind of fucking genius freak and yeah, and also
just such a like I remember learning so much because
I feel like one of the early shows, I guess
I was like Bechdel cast and I was still figuring
out like how feminism worked, you know, Like I was

(01:08:56):
educated enough that I was like, yeah, I get it,
Broaly can't just like shit on women, like and that
was sort of like where my definition of it had
sort of ended, yeah or not, like if I had
articulate it was, but like that was sort of my
conception of it. And being like befriending her Caitlin and
like many of the other guests, was so just critical
to my own understanding and like broadening of like misogyny

(01:09:18):
and patriarchy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
And things like that that I.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Definitely I I liked with every guest. I owe like
a debt of gratitude for augmenting my knowledge or my
ability to think deeper or feel deeper. But yeah, Jamie's
definitely a special one.

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
Yeah, so we have a recording from Jamie and then
I'll get to the number one Jamie Loftus memory that
people submitted. That is also one of my favorite moments
in the history of the show. Happy two thousand and two,
Jie Zeitgeist.

Speaker 6 (01:09:50):
This is Jamie Loftis aka Lil Zam.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
Two thousand episodes.

Speaker 6 (01:09:58):
Guys, far too many, far far, far too many. I
want to congratulate my friends Jack and Miles. The daily
Zeitgeist has become such a big part of my life.
It was truly like a.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Life changing experience.

Speaker 6 (01:10:16):
And I don't say that about podcasts lightly. Podcasts should
not be life changing, and yet Zeitgeist is. I just
I love that show so much. It truly changed my life.
My favorite memory in two thousand episodes and for me
probably about one thousand appearances. It's so hard. I mean,

(01:10:38):
I feel like I really enjoyed becoming temporary co host
during an early pandemic but my favorite memory, hands down,
would be back when we were all in the office
in the late twenty tens together. It was just one
of the best periods of my career. I mean, we
were like hanging out every single day. We got to

(01:10:59):
see we get to joke around. I met Sophie Lichterman,
I met Robert Evans, I met all these wonderful people.
And doing Santa University for the first time in twenty seventeen,
which is unfortunately nine years ago now, was one of
my favorite days.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
It was also.

Speaker 6 (01:11:17):
The only time that I have recorded a podcast where
I was actively bleeding as it happened, because I had
for long time Psychist listeners been recording a curse comedy
video where I was being sucked off by leeches immediately before.
So I had a diaper strapped to my torso, and

(01:11:40):
I showed up with Jack and Miles and Anna and
Sophie and Daniel and everyone and recorded Santi University one.
So that is one of my favorite memories because I
cannot believe that we all survived the experience. Pzsyches is amazing.
I'm so proud to have even been a small part

(01:12:02):
of it, And congratulations to you for listening, for being
with us, and to Jack, Miles and the entire team.
Shout out Victor, shout out an A, shout out Becca,
shout up Brian, shout out everyone who has been a
part of the show for the years. I just I
feel so lucky and I have more blood than I

(01:12:23):
once did while being a part of this show. So
for the next two thousand episodes, I wouldn't say best
of luck. You know, I hope that the world survives
another two thousand episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Feels optimistic. All right, I love you guys so much. Bye,
ye bye. We still have the photograph from the first
Sand University recording on the wall in the office. It
is one of those early photographs where they hadn't really
figured out the cameras on the iPhones, and like the
lighting just sucks. Yeah, it's great. We're wearing Santa beards. Miles,

(01:13:00):
you're giving the camera the double barrel middle fingers, and
it's up there and and always will be. Take it
down over my cold dead body. The the memory that
got a lot of Sandy University got a lot of
shout outs. Jamie's opus about a university full of Santa's
where only one Santa Survives At the end of the

(01:13:21):
year was the Jeremy Renner episode. Do you remember that?
Oh yeah, Jeremy Renner dropped a song called Heaven Don't
Have a Name, and Jamie was the guest.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
And this is during the Renaissance too, yes, the Renaissance
and calling it out.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
And she was so perplexed. She pointed out, Heaven does
have a name. This is from Jordan ak blinky Heck,
who said I still often think of her interpreting the
line so unpredictable. I gotta tell you as gibberish. I
wish I could find the clips. She went like Papa

(01:14:01):
Pipa gotta tell you thanks for the many years of
laughs and memories loved from Jordan blinky Heck, one of
the great listeners who has an amazing recall on a
bunch of stuff memories also I think from New Zealand
Sheet and finally the original super producer, frequent guests in

(01:14:27):
her own right on a Josenya who I gotta say
so other We're going to get to other guests who
got a lot of shout outs. Who are you know
the all time Zeke Gang Hall of Fame? But what
one that came up a lot was Marcela Argueyo for
roasting me, And I think that is one of one

(01:14:48):
of the funnest dynamics in the history of the show.
Is Marcella coming on and just live in fun of me?

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
I will say, Oh, also a two hander, right. We
people rightly pointed out, They're like, Marcella just stopped saying
she's gonna do the myth and we did stop doing
it because of that, but also because Guy completely no
one could ever do it as good as Guy anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Yes, that were like, yeah, this, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Know, I don't know what we're gonna get out of
this anymore. So that's definitely like.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Two did the best answer to the myth ever and
also showed us the error of having that question. Yeah
in the lineup, very very elegant. Yeah, Marcella was just like,
I'm not gonna do that shit, but I just wanted
to say to give every day behind the scenes for
the first however many years of the show and running
through this day though she's not the executive producer on

(01:15:41):
it anymore. That is kind of the energy between Anna
and behind the scenes is like a Marcella Anna roasting
me I've got my ten thousand hours of getting my
ass completely chewed up by a much cooler young woman
from a Anna Josania and Marcella. But Anna had some

(01:16:01):
memories on a you know, organized our last tour that
we did that came up a lot on the show
and toured with us and it was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Yeah. So here's a little word from super producer Annasnia.

Speaker 9 (01:16:19):
A prediction for the next two thousand episodes is I
hope there. I mean, I hope you guys get a break.
Two thousand more episodes of a podcast seems like a lot.
Are you guys doing okay?

Speaker 1 (01:16:34):
Is everyone?

Speaker 9 (01:16:34):
Well that's so much work? All right? Well, happy two
thousand episodes. Glad I could be a part of the show.
Wishing you guys all the best. I'll probably see you
very soon in a meeting because apparently we all still
work together. All right, now, you'll be good now, Okay, Actually,

(01:16:55):
I just had a memory. Remember when we were in
Minnesota and we realized that the they don't have like
alley rats, they have like alley bunnies, which is the
cutest thing in the world, and that like blew our mind.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
We were like, you just.

Speaker 9 (01:17:08):
Have cute little bunnies here in Minneapolis. Like that's that's
so sweet. God they don't make them like that anymore. Minneapolis,
what a nice place, nice people. Everyone was so lovely. Ah,
all right bye.

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
I remember early on when we were doing test recordings,
I was like not sure how funny to be, how
serious to be? And as a producer, I was always
checking in with Ann. I'm like what, like what is
this too much or whatever? And she was just like, dude,
you're funny, Like just stop, like just people are gonna

(01:17:50):
want you to be funny. And I was like, right, right,
because at the time I was definitely the show. I
was talking so much about my background in politics that
I was also trying to like sort of straddle both
in this way that was like sort of even handed.
But she was very much like, no, like, you are funny,
you just happen to also work in politics. Like lead
with that, and that for me was like a real

(01:18:11):
fundamental piece of advice from her that I think really
shaped how I even present myself on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
But you were like, but why is that guy not
being funny then, because he's the straight character.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
And I'm like, oh, why it's not a two piece
in a pod bit. But yeah, I mean, like such
good insights and so much of like the voice of
the show has been shaped by Anna too. So I
mean I think, yeah, like you said, it's like completely
foundational because so many of those, like so many of
these guests that you guys talk about that are like, man,
all these legendary people, those are purely the comedians that

(01:18:46):
were in Anna's orbit as a comedian, like a comedy producer. Yeah,
who She's like, oh yeah, like I know, like we
can get some like really interesting people on that I
know too that you guys know. But I mean I
feel like so many of the people that end up
ended up being true who like Mountain zeit More people
are all due to like Anna's you know, ability to
like identify funny people and know that they were fit

(01:19:07):
for the show.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
And yeah, she couldn't have been more right. Anna was
the very first person when I got the job to
like launch a not just daily Zeitge's podcast, but like
you know, the West Coast version of like the how
Stuff Works thing that was like comedy focused on. Was
the first person that I hired because she's just so
plugged in and has such great taste and it's so

(01:19:29):
funny to this day, to this day, to this day,
to this day. Other guests that got a lot of mentions,
obviously Lacey Mosley, yeah, very early days, one of the
most liquent besty.

Speaker 2 (01:19:42):
A few people pointed out how long it's been since
Lacey's been on. I do want to And I think
I've said I say this all the time because people
were always saying this in the discord. It's like we're
all very much friends. Yeah yeah, but and I always
say the thing is Lacey's like on broadcast TV.

Speaker 10 (01:20:00):
She has her own her own fucking show, scam goddess,
so that, you know, it makes things a little bit different,
but in terms of friendship, still like we're closer than ever.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
So don't worry not because Lacey.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Will be back. It's only a matter of time.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
And also your shout out to everybody you know, like
it's true, Like it's funny that people pointed out like
her coming on the show and loving scams and me
calling her scam goddess and being.

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
Like just talk about that ship.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
Yeah, like so many people like her. CHRISTI Yamagucci mane.
There's so many fucking talented people that are like a
lot of people might mention too, Christi Yamagucci Mane started
off just doing fire akas, and they're like, dude, that's
like the fucking like the Twitter account to follow for
funny shit. Yeah, man, it's just everybody's super dope. So anyway, yeah,
shout out Lacy. Although a lot of people thought that

(01:20:48):
she's sang Trump Free Thursdays, that's actually Shannon Coffee coffee.
Shannon Coffee Trump Free Thursdays, that's Shannon Coffee. Uh yeah,
a lot of a lot of predictions her burning either
killing me finally or killing you one of them and
assuming our role yep.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
Jaquith, Neil, Guy, Montgomery, Blair, Saki, Andrew Tea, Matt leeb All,
two men in or one matt leeb All, people who
got a lot of shout outs for just hilarious moments.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Yeah, super fun And yeah, I think we're just I
always just think of how how fortunate we are that
like so many funny, smart people just intersected with us
in such an easy way, because yeah, man, can you
imagine if we didn't like didn't have like it dialed
in in terms of like knowing the kinds of people
we wanted to talk to and like their kind of world.

Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
Would be a wreck. We just want to be like
more of a political podcast, like the fucking Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Yeah, like the pod Save Guys or something. I mean
like that's the other thing too. And look, we've had
some miscues, we guess too.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
Yeah, we heard that. Loud and Clear also were very
very aware when those happened. Yeah, yeah, yes, some guests
that people were like, remember when you had this guy
on and he was the worst? They're like, what the fuck?
I remember? A lot of people were like, please tell.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
Us this story. Once said it's like some CEO of
a company who's insufferable. You guys didn't even get to
is overrated, And they're like, I don't even if you
know we were dragging him on Reddit and Discord, please
tell us the backstory that guy this is. This is
one of those things too. I like because a lot
of people do point out the expert episodes. I'm like,
I really liked those, or when you guys were like
checking in with Zeitgang, like Hugo Bosk I believe was.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
The Hugo going on as the Domino's delivery. We need
to have more people that talk about their jobs. That
was a lot of people loved that, so we got
we gotta have more people on with interesting jobs. Yeah,
we definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Yeah, there are times when we're like I thought, we
were like is this not working? And then we hear
from you and they're like, why don't you do this
shit anymore? Like oh, okay, shit, it's hard.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
It's hard to know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
But that was an era with like the expert episodes
where there are a lot of times like this person's
an expert and then they're like, damn, but this person
is an l on Mike, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
And we've had we were said that experts were certainly
more hit and miss, and you know, didn't know exactly
what the Bible is going to be, and sometimes it
was bad.

Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
And I think for us too, Like I remember at
a certain point we're like, man, like we're at our
best when we're like we're having it's joyful.

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
Yeah, So like I'm not, Yeah, I'm definitely not the
person who's going to like go up there and like
tear a person to shreds on MIC, even though you know,
I wish I was, but it was just like, yeah,
this is bad. This is all right, not doing that again,
but anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
But also that's why I always set up top credit
to Zeigang because there's also a lot of feedback in
there that I was.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
Like, Oh, this is this and we're listening. We listen,
by the way, just talking about ship from uh. I
guess we didn't have time to get to But this
was when I had forgotten Blair Sak hating that her
parents have abs and saying there's nothing better than wearing
a bikini eating a hot dog over a garbage can
on the Santa monicap God. Hell yeah, all right. We

(01:24:03):
got predictions from you guys, a lot of people thinking
that our kids are going to take over the show.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
It felt like there was one of five predictions.

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
Yeah yeah, So one was that like we got an
fo baby, let our kids take over the show. And
I was like, do they not know how young our
kids are? And then I realized that my seven year
old was born while we were doing this show, like
in another two thousand episodes.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
Seven, So yeah, fourteen, seventeen, and ten would be the
age of our kids.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
I have started coming to the realization that they are
gonna at some point listen to this show.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Do they know You tell them you're a podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
Yeah, but they don't know. Sometimes they'll be looking over
my shoulder while I'm writing the script and they will
be like, you wrote a bad word. They're like, no,
Miles wrote a bad way. Yeah that was much. That's
that's his writing style. People don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
My writing style is. I don't use any punktureuation or
anything like that. I just go hard on caps for emphasis.

Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
Yeah. From tweets, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of
predictions for me going on aitiation testosterone. Miles getting hair
plugs someone, Yeah, I got pube hair plugs. Was a
lot of hair plugs, a lot of hair restoration.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
And I know I gave that as an example, but goddamn,
I didn't think all of y'all would be.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
That was like, bro, his fucked up head. Bro, he's
getting that sordid for sure, for sure, Dude. I've seen
the cover art for Ain't a Footy. Yikes, that's what
one person said.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
No, my favorite memory will be when you guys end
the pod by getting sucked off simultaneously into the sky
yep by Twister. Presumably. I hope it's not the other implication, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well one that I think came up a couple times
is that you finally understand six point eight weeks, but
no one else understands. And you said, the rest of

(01:25:58):
you are trying to have it make sense to me.
That was Emily a long times that Kang. Yeah, any
any other predictions we want to call out.

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
I'm trying to think the other one's. There are a
few that made me laugh. I mean the stuff that
really I enjoyed was just stuff referencing how like our
lives become more and more intertwined to the point where
they really felt like. One was like, your guys are
gonna be doing this truly into your old age, that
your kids will take over the show.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Yeah, and I'm like, this.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Is not a family business. This is not a family business.
I hope they can do something else rather than scream
into the void.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
But there was another one. Where was it? Where was it?
Where was it? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Yeah, Chris always said, in the future be when we
watched the Malania biopic, So yeah, do we just live
stream it from the theater like mad illegal and look
at this pocon shit right now? We'll have to figure
it out. We'll have to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (01:26:52):
One person, said Paul F. Tompkins. Griffin Newman, Amanda Marcatti,
and Rebecca Watson make their first appearances on the show.
Snutting gave that one. Have I got news for you?
Go to your feet and search Griffin Newman? Yeah, buddy,
all right, I think that's it. Then we're out of memories.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
I am out of memories.

Speaker 1 (01:27:13):
