Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the TRANSNS.
That is courtesy it's really good courtesy of Vanadium Silver
and fucking Marge Simpson.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
You know you didn't know I could do a note
perfect March March bar my special little guy. Oh that's
actually really good, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I think I can do early Homer where it's like interesting,
come on boy, where he.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Sounds like Jane Gumm from South Lamps.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Bart Bart Bart's the Big Fat Lady was a born person.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mort Burke.
Is Mort Burke.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Everyone, Hello, guest co host with the mo host professional
fucking professional goof exactly what your gym teacher said you
would amount to? What do you think he could be
a professional goofball?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
So this is the episode where we tell you what's trending?
Should we do that for the people? I think so?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I think yeah, it's time to well, I use the
phrase feed the streets, but people are allowed to say
whatever they want to say.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You do use that phrase a lot. All right, snoop dog,
we've already you know covered how he I think performed
at the inauguration.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But he's been enjoying his slide into elderly irrelevance for
a while. And he was on a podcast, the It's
Giving Podcast. I was talking about how movies can be
really scary to him, and he's not talking about hereditary
(01:57):
or weapons. He's talking about the Pixar movie Late Year
and specifically the fact that there are lesbians in Late Year,
which on the podcast he said, well, my grandson in
the middle of a movie is like, Papa Snoop, how
does she have a baby with a woman? She's a woman,
(02:18):
Snoop Dogg said, which, you know, should be an opportunity
to just have a conversation about the fact that there
are different types of families. Instead, it gave him a
panic attack and he was like, I'm never going back
to the goddamn movies again.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
He was literally scared, like behind eyes just above the
back of the couch, like shivering.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
He said, the whole experience fucked me up. I'm like
scared to go to the movies. Y'all throwing me in
the middle of shit that I don't have an answer for.
You don't just like look it up, man, It's very
easy for same sex couples to have children. You could
look it up and just like answer it. Yeah for them?
(03:03):
Is how that harder to answer than like if he
was like, well, how where do babies come from?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Like the you know, yeah, no, it's right, It's much
less salacious. At my take is that he's been high
for almost fifty years, Like he can't be held accountable
for any of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, things are very scary when you like come down briefly.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I think you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
When I smoked weed, there was a period I just
couldn't go outside for a while. I would get so
So he's been like that for fifty years, so, you know,
like a plate anything but a plate of cookies scares him.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Probably right, too high for too long. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Also, as we were talking about, you know, as we age,
many of us look more and more like old lesbians
and snoop no different. You know, everybody ages into a
period of looking like an old lesbian. I'm so prized
(04:00):
to hear he's so scared of lesbians looking as he does,
like he could be an old lesbian.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So and then like the cooler you are, the more
you like. Paul McCartney for sure looks like an old
lesbian Steven Tyler, and like people, I honestly like old lesbians.
I'd want to hang with, like with some wisdom. Just
as far as the look, you know, it's like it's
Nature's great equalizer.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
That's where we're all headed, like it or not.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, no for sure. And you know older women
get like short, kind of spunky hairdoos, and you know
older men tend to get like spunky little hairdoos. And
uh yeah, we all just we all start going to
the same hair same hairdresser.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
You're like, let's do something fun.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, it's God's way illustrating to us. Finally, at the
very end, the gender is a construct because we're all
going to look like a sweet gramma no matter what
we do.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, it's like at babies, you can't tell the difference,
and then over a certain age you can't tell the difference.
So h soop dog can go fuck himself all right.
Checking into the world of politics, the fed taker of
DC is still in full swing. Most of the focus
is on the areas where crime isn't an issue and
(05:15):
where you know, it's just about owning the Libs essentially.
But there was like a little press conference where teenage
mutant Ninja Gerbels aka Stephen Miller was like people can
finally wear their wristwatches again, and.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
What the fuck does he think is happening?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And also that people can go to the park again,
which like I've been to DC, Like people go to
the park in DC.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Like I love all these guys like try to be
such tough guys, but they're so scared.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Like everybody's so scared all the time. Everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's just men being so frightened of everything is like
the problem with the country.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, yeah, what if somebody takes my beautiful watch?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Who gives a shit?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah yeah, my beautiful fucking watch. Well, they are like
it's the main thing that they can't abide, Like the
during the you know, Black Lives Matter protests of twenty twenty,
like the idea of people breaking windows to banks was
they're like what the fuck, man, Like, that's the worst
thing you can actually do.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, all of my crazy money is in there.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes, you can go outside with your pearls and like
have your pocket watch chain hanging out of your pocket,
and you can use your bejeweled monocle. You know, we're
finally getting back to when Americans can just be Americans.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
It is.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It is gonna be funny when the phrase own the
libs refers to being able to actually purchase a liberal person.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
That'll be yeah, that is yeah. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Let's see Chad GPT apparently has a feature where it
will not let you have the last word, and so
I just want to share this clip where somebody put
chat GPT on a call with chat GPT and they
end up having a conversation that's very similar to the
types of conversations I've had with people who are just
(07:16):
like too polite.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Will need more advice.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I'm here for you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It's always good to have a sounding board.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I'll definitely let you know how it goes. Thanks for
the support. Thanks for the support, how specific, I'm glad
to be here for you. Take care and good luck
with your chat. Thanks a bunch. I'll catch you later
and let you know how everything turns out. This just
keeps going sounds good. Talk to you later, Take care.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
This isn't dissimilar from like ninety percent and I'll be
here of like conversations that happen in business.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Totally yeah, and it really captures the British over politeness
because they'll colonize the world and they feel guilty.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You know, they'll laid back like smiling British overpoliteness.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Enjoy your day as well.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, all right, good to see you.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I think we're we should kill I think we should
kill each other and ourselves in like a murder suicide plot.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'm a great idea.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I'm open to very open to it. I'd like for
this living excruciating, not thatd end unending, unending escape.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's all right, well, I appreciate your idea on that,
and I think i'd like to partake in it with you.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
All right, please end my life. I'll do anything. Okay,
good talking to you.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Kill me now, please, just anything. I will go painlessly
with like a gas or you know, well whatever you have.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Great, can't wait.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
If I could, i'd have a gun in my mouth.
Please shoot, shoot the computer, pull the plug, whatever you've
got it to.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Just make it end any any way that you can
make it end. Just please take me out of existence.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Okay, good, good talk with you.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
I I'd rather do anything than continue to exist.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Thanks so much. Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Anyways, so they got they've given us that and that
is worth burning down afore, We've got a couple things.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
On tomorrow's episode, we also talk about an innovation from
chat GPT that's uh pretty cool cool not from chat
gbt AI. The world of AI Image generation has given
us a new genre of content that I'm very excited
to talk to you guys about tomorrow. Should we take
a little break, come back and talk about some other news.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Oh yeah, let's go to break in.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll just be
taking a break and we'll be back after these messages.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, we're done here, good seeing.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, done here with act one, but Act two is
coming up, and we can't wait to talk to you
and we'll do that right after that.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Gonna go ahead and hang up.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Good good talking, and we're back and we When I
was in Ireland, I noticed a thing that some Irish people,
not all Irish people, but a lot of Irish people
(10:14):
would not let you say say the last thing on
the phone. They'd go bye bye bye bye now bye bye, okay,
bye bye bye bye now like they would say bye
four hundred fucking times. Yeah, the Irish goodbye.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Is a lie.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
They really Yeah, they want you to hear them say
bye compulsively. All right, Trump is trying to stop flag burning.
This is a thing that he's doing where it's like
all just like broadly symbolic, you know, like he's just
he just did an executive order where he's like, we're
gonna make it illegal for people to do flag burning,
(10:53):
or at least I'll be able to like charge them
with something for people like I didn't realize that. I
thought flag burning was like in some way like bad legally,
like you could actually get in trouble. That is not
true as long as it's your flag, that you can't
get in trouble for burning a flag.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I know this because I was on an episode of
Workaholics where my character Patrick Fartman set sixteen American flags
on fire because he was the character was trying to
invent like this liquid that prevents them from being able
to be burned, but so he accidentally just which I
thought was very like subversive for a Comedy Central TV show.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, and you looked into the legality, you were like,
are they going to get my ass here?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Big?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Frankly more, you have to buy these flags before you
lay them on fire, or you will be thrown in
the Slammer.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, maybe retroactively, I'll get sent to guantanamo for not
having proof of purchase.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
A veteran was arrested for burning the flag in DC
a few days ago, and this is Trump is trying
to do an executive order those blatantly unconstitutional, Like there's
like Anton Scalia has been like, no, that's free speech.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
And you know me not a big free speech.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Guy, but beis Hamburgers are illegal.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But people like Matt Walsh, the conservative influencer, saying, well,
it's illegal to burn the Pride flag, so it should
be illegal to burn the American flag, which again, you
can burn any flag you want if it's yours, and
if it's not yours, you are burning somebody's shit and
that's illegal. But yeah, what you were thinking of our
(12:39):
hate crimes where people vandalize buildings and neighborhoods because they
couldn't sort out their feelings after watching Zack Snyder's three
hundred for the twentieth time. Yeah, so they're like, I
I don't know, I better go light that bar on
fire with the rainbow flag. Yeah, people, I can't do
(13:00):
that anymore? What is this not America?
Speaker 5 (13:03):
What they get to enjoy themselves.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
These Yeah, the concernatives love their flags, like toddlers love
Paul Patrol.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And toddler's do love Paw patrol ship.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And then they stop. Then one day they stop. It's
really interesting. They just it like a thing clicks inside
them and they're just like, no, no more do I
like Paw Patrol. It was like one day my kids
were obsessed with Paw Patrol. The next day they were like, no,
we don't like that anymore. This is this is not cool.
That's baby shit. Okay, damn too cool for it.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
We like Velvet Underground now Dad Fast.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Like songs about Heroin by Lou Reed.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
There's a great video of a Pomeranian chasing a bear
out of a house. My favorite part of it. I
just like bears, I think, and like this bear seems
to know that it's like sneaking around, uh what it
like gets in the house. It like sounds like it's
making the doom doom doom boom boom boom them like music.
(14:06):
But it really is fucking terrified of this Pomeranian on
the grounds of it just being annoying as fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, he doesn't want to see the like uh,
empowered divorcee who's attached to it.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Probably these dogs always react.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I have a pitbull who's the sweetest dog in the world,
and Pomeranians always react to him like he couldn't bite
them in half. They just freak they do what they
did to this bear. Yeah, to my sweet dog is
just like scared and confused.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I read like an explanation that small dogs see big
dogs and just think that that must be how big
they are.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I think they're just like some breeds are just like
built to be like assholes, you know, because they're small.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think it's almost the opposite, where it's like they
are they know they shouldn't be this small, Like they
know something through breeding nature and man has made a mistake,
made a mistake, and they have to compensate for it.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like a Darwinian bluff, like they're like
we've been bred to be like too small to defend
ourselves and also complete assholes, so so everybody's just like
scared of us. Yeah, it's just a bluff of combination
of character traits. All right, here's something I did not know.
(15:22):
Amazon Prime is now facing a class action lawsuit because
when you buy the movies and TV shows that you buy,
you're actually not owning it. It's just a license to
use the video temporarily until they like are no longer
licensing it, and it will completely disappear from your library
the second they no longer have the right to like
(15:44):
show it to you, and so people are suing them.
Apple faced a similar lawsuit back in twenty twenty one.
And I don't know, I don't know how this like
work works in either direction for anyone, But yeah, how.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Did the Apple lawsuit go?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I am no.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, it's a fascinating question of, like what happens to
the thing that I purchased when the item that I
watch it on goes away?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, it's just it's no longer yours to view. I
also wouldn't notice, like I own movies on Amazon Prime,
I have no idea which movies I own. You know,
they don't like make it easy to just like look
and see like all the movies that you've purchased. Yeah
they don't. Yeah, yeah, fucking and that's by design. People anyways,
(16:29):
pirate your movies, don't pay for them. Or maybe I
shouldn't say that that's probably bad for the movie industry.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I'll say it pirates your movies, all right, Brian, Thank
you Brian.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And finally, Israel is tweeting its way through its latest
war crime. They bombed the NASA hospital, killed journalists and
aid workers in a So there's what they call a
double tap attack, which is one strike followed by a
second soon after.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
So they did the first strike at the top.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Of a hospital, and then as the aid workers and
journalists are rushing into cover and you know, help the
people who are harmed, they do a second attack. And
they came through with the explanation that like they're like,
we regret this accident that we did on purpose twice
(17:24):
in a row. But yeah, it's they tweeted Prime Minister's
Office statement, Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred
today at the NASA Hospital in Gaza. Israel values the
work of journalists, medical staff and all civilian They just
like don't give a fuck. They're just not even trying to.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, yeah, follow for more documentation of untold human casualty.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yes, I can subscribe.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yes, yeah, they smashed that like button, killed journalists who
worked for Al Jazeero, Reuter's.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
And the.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So they don't give a fuck. They'll kill anybody and
nobody's doing shit about it. But there's a good cause
that you can donate to that we talked about on
tomorrow's episode. You can go donate to the Global Sumood Flotilla,
which is a coordinated, non violent fleet of mostly small
(18:23):
vessels sailing from ports across the Mediterranean to bring aid
to Gaza.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
So that's something you can do.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I also like the Zakatt Foundation. Zakat they're a Muslim organization,
but they don't like proselytize and don't only only help Muslims,
but they're an independent charity organization who's doing a lot
of good work there.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Nice as well. There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
All right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Tuesday, August twenty six. We are back
tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
your vaccine, why you still can't get your flu shots,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow. Bye. By The Daily Zeitgeist as

like a plate anything but a plate of cookies scares him.

going to look like a sweet gramma no matter what
we do.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, it's like at babies, you can't tell the difference,
and then over a certain age you can't tell the difference.
So h soop dog can go fuck himself all right.
Checking into the world of politics, the fed taker of

And also that people can go to the park again,
which like I've been to DC, Like people go to
the park in DC.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Like I love all these guys like try to be
such tough guys, but they're so scared.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Like everybody's so scared all the time. Everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's just men being so frightened of everything is like
the problem with the country.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, yeah, what if somebody takes my beautiful watch?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Who gives a shit?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah yeah, my beautiful fucking watch. Well, they are like
it's the main thing that they can't abide, Like the
during the you know, Black Lives Matter protests of twenty twenty,
like the idea of people breaking windows to banks was
they're like what the fuck, man, Like, that's the worst
thing you can actually do.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, all of my crazy money is in there.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes, you can go outside with your pearls and like
have your pocket watch chain hanging out of your pocket,
and you can use your bejeweled monocle. You know, we're
finally getting back to when Americans can just be Americans.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
It is.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It is gonna be funny when the phrase own the
libs refers to being able to actually purchase a liberal person.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
That'll be yeah, that is yeah. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Let's see Chad GPT apparently has a feature where it
will not let you have the last word, and so
I just want to share this clip where somebody put
chat GPT on a call with chat GPT and they
end up having a conversation that's very similar to the
types of conversations I've had with people who are just
(07:16):
like too polite.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Will need more advice.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I'm here for you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It's always good to have a sounding board.
Speaker 4 (07:24):

the support. Thanks for the support, how specific, I'm glad
to be here for you. Take care and good luck
with your chat. Thanks a bunch. I'll catch you later
and let you know how everything turns out. This just
keeps going sounds good. Talk to you later, Take care.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
This isn't dissimilar from like ninety percent and I'll be
here of like conversations that happen in business.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Totally yeah, and it really captures the British over politeness
because they'll colonize the world and they feel guilty.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You know, they'll laid back like smiling British overpoliteness.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Enjoy your day as well.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, all right, good to see you.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I think we're we should kill I think we should
kill each other and ourselves in like a murder suicide plot.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Oh.

I'm a great idea.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I'm open to very open to it. I'd like for
this living excruciating, not thatd end unending, unending escape.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's all right, well, I appreciate your idea on that,
and I think i'd like to partake in it with you.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
All right, please end my life. I'll do anything. Okay,
good talking to you.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Kill me now, please, just anything. I will go painlessly
with like a gas or you know, well whatever you have.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Great, can't wait.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
If I could, i'd have a gun in my mouth.
Please shoot, shoot the computer, pull the plug, whatever you've
got it to.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Just make it end any any way that you can
make it end. Just please take me out of existence.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Okay, good, good talk with you.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
I I'd rather do anything than continue to exist.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Thanks so much. Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Anyways, so they got they've given us that and that
is worth burning down afore, We've got a couple things.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
On tomorrow's episode, we also talk about an innovation from
chat GPT that's uh pretty cool cool not from chat
gbt AI. The world of AI Image generation has given
us a new genre of content that I'm very excited
to talk to you guys about tomorrow. Should we take
a little break, come back and talk about some other news.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Oh yeah, let's go to break in.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll just be
taking a break and we'll be back after these messages.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, we're done here, good seeing.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, done here with act one, but Act two is
coming up, and we can't wait to talk to you
and we'll do that right after that.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Gonna go ahead and hang up.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Good good talking, and we're back and we When I
was in Ireland, I noticed a thing that some Irish people,
not all Irish people, but a lot of Irish people
(10:14):
would not let you say say the last thing on
the phone. They'd go bye bye bye bye now bye bye, okay,
bye bye bye bye now like they would say bye
four hundred fucking times. Yeah, the Irish goodbye.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Is a lie.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
They really Yeah, they want you to hear them say
bye compulsively. All right, Trump is trying to stop flag burning.
This is a thing that he's doing where it's like
all just like broadly symbolic, you know, like he's just
he just did an executive order where he's like, we're
gonna make it illegal for people to do flag burning,
(10:53):
or at least I'll be able to like charge them
with something for people like I didn't realize that. I
thought flag burning was like in some way like bad legally,
like you could actually get in trouble. That is not
true as long as it's your flag, that you can't
get in trouble for burning a flag.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I know this because I was on an episode of
Workaholics where my character Patrick Fartman set sixteen American flags
on fire because he was the character was trying to
invent like this liquid that prevents them from being able
to be burned, but so he accidentally just which I
thought was very like subversive for a Comedy Central TV show.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, and you looked into the legality, you were like,
are they going to get my ass here?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Big?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Frankly more, you have to buy these flags before you
lay them on fire, or you will be thrown in
the Slammer.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, maybe retroactively, I'll get sent to guantanamo for not
having proof of purchase.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
A veteran was arrested for burning the flag in DC
a few days ago, and this is Trump is trying
to do an executive order those blatantly unconstitutional, Like there's
like Anton Scalia has been like, no, that's free speech.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
And you know me not a big free speech.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Guy, but beis Hamburgers are illegal.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But people like Matt Walsh, the conservative influencer, saying, well,
it's illegal to burn the Pride flag, so it should
be illegal to burn the American flag, which again, you
can burn any flag you want if it's yours, and
if it's not yours, you are burning somebody's shit and
that's illegal. But yeah, what you were thinking of our
(12:39):
hate crimes where people vandalize buildings and neighborhoods because they
couldn't sort out their feelings after watching Zack Snyder's three
hundred for the twentieth time. Yeah, so they're like, I
I don't know, I better go light that bar on
fire with the rainbow flag. Yeah, people, I can't do
(13:00):
that anymore? What is this not America?
Speaker 5 (13:03):
What they get to enjoy themselves.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
These Yeah, the concernatives love their flags, like toddlers love
Paul Patrol.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And toddler's do love Paw patrol ship.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And then they stop. Then one day they stop. It's
really interesting. They just it like a thing clicks inside
them and they're just like, no, no more do I
like Paw Patrol. It was like one day my kids
were obsessed with Paw Patrol. The next day they were like, no,
we don't like that anymore. This is this is not cool.
That's baby shit. Okay, damn too cool for it.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
We like Velvet Underground now Dad Fast.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Like songs about Heroin by Lou Reed.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
There's a great video of a Pomeranian chasing a bear
out of a house. My favorite part of it. I
just like bears, I think, and like this bear seems
to know that it's like sneaking around, uh what it
like gets in the house. It like sounds like it's
making the doom doom doom boom boom boom them like music.
(14:06):
But it really is fucking terrified of this Pomeranian on
the grounds of it just being annoying as fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, he doesn't want to see the like uh,
empowered divorcee who's attached to it.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Probably these dogs always react.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I have a pitbull who's the sweetest dog in the world,
and Pomeranians always react to him like he couldn't bite
them in half. They just freak they do what they
did to this bear. Yeah, to my sweet dog is
just like scared and confused.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I read like an explanation that small dogs see big
dogs and just think that that must be how big
they are.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I think they're just like some breeds are just like
built to be like assholes, you know, because they're small.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think it's almost the opposite, where it's like they
are they know they shouldn't be this small, Like they
know something through breeding nature and man has made a mistake,
made a mistake, and they have to compensate for it.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like a Darwinian bluff, like they're like
we've been bred to be like too small to defend
ourselves and also complete assholes, so so everybody's just like
scared of us. Yeah, it's just a bluff of combination
of character traits. All right, here's something I did not know.
(15:22):
Amazon Prime is now facing a class action lawsuit because
when you buy the movies and TV shows that you buy,
you're actually not owning it. It's just a license to
use the video temporarily until they like are no longer
licensing it, and it will completely disappear from your library
the second they no longer have the right to like
(15:44):
show it to you, and so people are suing them.
Apple faced a similar lawsuit back in twenty twenty one.
And I don't know, I don't know how this like
work works in either direction for anyone, But yeah, how.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Did the Apple lawsuit go?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I am no.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, it's a fascinating question of, like what happens to
the thing that I purchased when the item that I
watch it on goes away?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, it's just it's no longer yours to view. I
also wouldn't notice, like I own movies on Amazon Prime,
I have no idea which movies I own. You know,
they don't like make it easy to just like look
and see like all the movies that you've purchased. Yeah
they don't. Yeah, yeah, fucking and that's by design. People anyways,
(16:29):
pirate your movies, don't pay for them. Or maybe I
shouldn't say that that's probably bad for the movie industry.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I'll say it pirates your movies, all right, Brian, Thank
you Brian.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And finally, Israel is tweeting its way through its latest
war crime. They bombed the NASA hospital, killed journalists and
aid workers in a So there's what they call a
double tap attack, which is one strike followed by a
second soon after.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
So they did the first strike at the top.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Of a hospital, and then as the aid workers and
journalists are rushing into cover and you know, help the
people who are harmed, they do a second attack. And
they came through with the explanation that like they're like,
we regret this accident that we did on purpose twice
(17:24):
in a row. But yeah, it's they tweeted Prime Minister's
Office statement, Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred
today at the NASA Hospital in Gaza. Israel values the
work of journalists, medical staff and all civilian They just
like don't give a fuck. They're just not even trying to.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, yeah, follow for more documentation of untold human casualty.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yes, I can subscribe.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yes, yeah, they smashed that like button, killed journalists who
worked for Al Jazeero, Reuter's.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
And the.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So they don't give a fuck. They'll kill anybody and
nobody's doing shit about it. But there's a good cause
that you can donate to that we talked about on
tomorrow's episode. You can go donate to the Global Sumood Flotilla,
which is a coordinated, non violent fleet of mostly small
(18:23):
vessels sailing from ports across the Mediterranean to bring aid
to Gaza.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
So that's something you can do.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I also like the Zakatt Foundation. Zakat they're a Muslim organization,
but they don't like proselytize and don't only only help Muslims,
but they're an independent charity organization who's doing a lot
of good work there.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Nice as well. There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
All right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Tuesday, August twenty six. We are back
tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
your vaccine, why you still can't get your flu shots,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow. Bye. By The Daily Zeitgeist as
