Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Zeitehouse starring Will trend Defoe. Um, there he is. That's
a movie I saw over the break that made an impression.
Very good and also crazy. They came out right before
the pandemic and it's basically about two people in quarantine
(00:22):
for too long. But that that movie is fucking wild.
High recommend. I'm Jack, you are Miles, and hey, should
we tell the people some of the things that are trending?
I think we shall. I think we should. A good idea.
All right, we're not sure anti factors might be being pranked,
(00:42):
is what is what I'm starting to suspect because on
yesterday's episode, or I guess that was this morning's episode,
we talked about how the new boutique cure for COVID
or COVID treatment courtesy of the vaccine police officer. What's
his name, the chief of vaccine police. Vaccine police guy.
(01:04):
It's just vaccine police guy. Yeah he uh. He was
telling them you gotta start drinking your own ppe um,
because that's that's what helps COVID. Uh So. Cora recross
Path on Twitter pointed out a tweet from Alana McLaughlin
they got ahold of the prevention and early outpatient treatment
(01:25):
protocol for COVID nineteen that's being distributed among antivactors, and
I think it's like they say, the second line of
defense is a very like rigorous um round of this
medication that completely wipes out testosterone production. It is what
(01:46):
is often used by people transitioning. Yeah, so it's like,
what is a dual anti androgen therapy? Yeah? Whoa, um, Yeah,
I don't know any are I really don't know what
they're what the aim is because on some That's why
(02:06):
I think we always have a trouble like listening to
these people because it all borders on absurdity, but people
are taking it seriously, and then you're like, is this
guy fucking around? Like are these are there just people
getting off on trying to see what they can get
anti vactors to do because on something like all they
say is like, look at the research. Now take it
with a grain of salt, but look at the research.
Well why should I Why are you? Why are you
(02:28):
starting off your your scientific presentation of be skeptical? Yeah,
a lot of people it gets edited out a lot
of the time, but Einstein's theory of relativity is taken
with a grain of salt, but E might equal mc square.
That's how it was actually put out there. Um, this
is brilliant. I mean, this might be accidentally happening this way.
(02:51):
But the one thing that they are really bad at
by definition is filtering information ation finding the truth. Um.
And so if somebody is combating them by you know,
just polluting the already wildly polluted well with um, you know,
(03:12):
things that are sabotaging. But I love it. Although somebody
did point out that if there is a subsequent resultant
shortage of hormone replacement therapy meds, like not such a
good thing. But uh yeah, especially for people who are
using them for their their own personal aims that are
helping their life, rather than people trying to like pone
(03:34):
Dr Fauci. Right. Um yeah, well this absurd an absurd
world all around us. And yes, we still can't figure
on't like, is this prank? Yeah, but I guess being
on that side of the political spectrum, everything feels like
a prank on yourself. So I can't believe future and
Drake thought that was quite a time to be alive.
(03:57):
That's that wasn't ship man? They do the new album cover,
but instead of diamonds code yeah exactly, Sorry, we were wrong.
That was a that was yeah, that was the cover.
Was just like I was mad at that album cover.
That was terrible. It looked like a fucking trapper keeper. Yeah. Yeah,
(04:18):
that was just straight up like I don't know that
granted was probably like an actual photograph of like a
bunch of diamonds that. I mean, who knows? People are
being like, hey, is that is that a stock image?
Look like a stock image, very low licensing, very low
cost to get that to an album cover. I mean,
that does seem to be uh you know. Drake's most
(04:39):
recent album was a bunch of emojis, um yeah, that
were like a cell phone because creativity and decline. He
thinks it's he thinks he's like funny when he's cell phoning.
But it doesn't really work as well now it's as
he thinks it does. No, no, no no, because it's
not done like to the full force of what you
could do to like, to be self deprecating. He's dabbling
(05:02):
in it. You know, we were born in it, you
know what I mean, um, in the darkness. I was
born in the self deprecation you playing it? Um, Yeah,
Matt Gates is trending because his ex girlfriend from all
of the controversy, who I believe they're saying was like
a miner or maybe one of the older women who
was potentially helping traffic miners anyway, has has testified in
(05:24):
a Florida court about their relationship and god knows what else.
It's definitely not a good development for him. But a
lot of legal analysts are saying like this to me,
looks like the do O J might be getting closer
to an actual indictment for Matt Gates, which based on
even the reporting we've seen here, like, yeah, a lot
(05:45):
of this seems like it's a right, it's that these
are crimes. He's doing crimes, but it is still on
the Judiciary Committee, which you know has uh you know,
they can oversee things like the Department of Justice, and
a lot of people pointed like, should he still be
on that committee? Right, you're some conflict of interest here? No, okay,
(06:06):
Leader McCarthy, No, okay, don't worry about it. Yeah, this
is definitely one of those stories where the wheels of
justice turning slowly is a little, uh, a little frustrating.
Does feel like it would be nice if we could
just make some pretty basic common sense decisions about this asshole. Uh. So,
(06:28):
there's a couple of big stories about leaders overseas um
that I wanted to check in with real quick. We
got Lula in Brazil, former president, leftist, went went to
prison on corruption charges, is out and is running for
president again against Bolsonaro or is not like officially running
(06:50):
for president, but people suspect yeah, yeah, and polling suggests
that he would absolutely rinse Bolsonaro by like quite a
large margin, which just leads me to be very worried
about his safety, about Lula's safety because yeah, and also,
just are we going to see a thing of like
(07:11):
it looks like a leftist maybe helping to solve the
problems after a rigid conservative government. Um, I think, do
you think you're gonna extol the virtues of Lula's policies
or be like, well, you know, but are suddenly MSNBC
is like, is Bulsonaro that bad? What the fuck? Yeah? Unfortunately,
(07:34):
I think the MSNBC's ratings in Brazil or even lower
than they are here, which is pretty pretty shocking. Uh.
And then Boris Johnson just keeps getting caught up. The
latest is that, like at the early stages of the pandemic,
when like everybody was on like a very strict lockdown,
(07:56):
he was having b y O B parties. Like I said,
you know the White House, their White House, what does
it ten? Yeah, and people are saying this could be
the end. It doesn't see him. He seems to have
that Trump Jean where things don't actually affect him but
he likes the party. Would be the The stories that
(08:19):
actually stick in my brain that are coming out of
his administration always seem to be about partying. It's like
somebody found a bunch of cocaine, like right around where
he does business, and now it's like this guy can't
stop partying, right, Yeah, he's the he the Venga Boys,
the Venga bus is coming because he likes the party.
(08:41):
He likes he likes the party. Just parked the Venga
bus right in front of ten Downing Street. Yeah, now
that was a time bring your own booze? Like what
is this like? Honestly, I'd be like, yo, I thought
you were the fucking Prime Minister. We're gonna bring our
fucking liquor to your party. Also, an open bar. But
the funk we pay a tax is for the headlines
(09:01):
says bring your own booze drinks party. Do we need
to specify that it's a drinks party after it's to
bring your own booze? Or is that just like a
Is that a British saying? That feels like an English thing?
English is m Yeah, it's fun stuff like calling drunk
driving drink driving and yeah, you know, I like I
(09:21):
like taking to the drink. I like pluralizing math. I
like not having to say the hospital, just say in hospital,
I've gone, I've gone to hospital. Yeah, those are good.
He's in kitchen working cooker. Is that real? Yeah? I
like that's more of like a Yorkshire vibe quick maths.
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
(09:42):
back and talk about Batman. Uh, we'll talk about Cheer
season two, and we're back, and PET thirteen is trending
because people are mad that the new Batman movie with
(10:05):
Robert Pattinson is PG thirteen because everybody's favorite Batman are
also PG thirteen, Like what are we doing? I think
because that the sort of the way they were leading
was like it's getting into his early vigilantique career. So
it's like, what's you're expecting to like rip people's like
mandibles off, like kick their heads off and ship Like
(10:26):
what are you? What? What about it that? Uh? Like
what are you missing with a PG thirteen film here?
Because you know, for all the people who are like
the Dark night Man fucking so good, Uh, that's PG thirteen, right,
So yeah, I it's I don't I don't know, like
I don't even see how it's limited by not being
(10:46):
R rated. Um. When someone made like a joke on Twitter,
I forget who it was, Like, it's the like PG
thirteen doesn't seem like a good fit for this film,
considering Bruce Wayne had never had any parental guidance time.
But you know, I mean there you go. Um, and
he access to him was very restrictive. Yeah. A superducer,
(11:09):
Brian pointed out that Ben Affleck as Batman did like
kill lots of people in those movies, but even that
was PG thirteen. So um, but yeah, that that movie
was wild because he was just like, yeah, now bat
and this one Batman just kills people. He just like
shoots fools, Like that's just like a thing he does.
(11:31):
Sick I think that would be dope. If Superman started
using a gun to just so extra. They're like, could
she just like vaporize me with your lazer eyes? You
got me in the fucking ic you with a gunshot wound,
like you could have just killed me? Um kind of
I really like that idea. I mean Superman where we
(11:53):
didn't have guns on Crypton. WHOA, this ship is crazy.
There's a new Quinnipiac poll. Uh and is Biden's like
not doing great? I would say, uh so, with independency
(12:18):
among Hispanics lower than his support from white voters. Yeah,
it's a it's an interesting I mean, I think again
we will talk about this tomorrow or will at least
touch on like this polling. But you know, they look
at this like what's going on? Like why are these
these people who normally are solid support, Why are they
(12:38):
Why are they saying the economy I'm handling it. Only
thirty four percent think I'm handling it well and fifty
six percent or fifty seven think I'm not handling it
well well because you're not actually looking at Has someone
done a study on what it means to work every
day here and try and survive and go to a
job where they're telling you to come in even if
(12:59):
you have COVID, and then you go or you work
out a place and you're like, Yo, that dude is sick.
They haven't What the funk why are they here? I
think so much Again, we said this, like even with
like the teachers and students or flight attendants, so many
people are just they're watching this ship burns so close
to them. Now They're like, what the fuck. I'm not
getting close to this ship. I need this is this
(13:22):
cannot we cannot abide. But they look at this and
it's just being like, I don't know, maybe we get
looking Barack Obama to running and like what I feel
like that's what people are going to start pushing for.
Oh yeah, as you talked about on tomorrow's episode, people
are starting to talk about Hillary running again. It's just
an impossible situation that America faces heading into the next
(13:45):
two elections because there's Trump on one side and then
the other side is just so hopelessly out of touch
with reality that I don't don't like our chances, Miles,
Unlessy're gonna be like, do we rethink the twenty second
Amendment to bring Obama back and you're like, oh my god,
And somehow they they amend the fucking constitution before they
(14:09):
give people fucking minimum wage hikes or fucking voting rights.
Like that seems more feasible to me because I think
they're there. I'm sure they understand what's happening. It's like, dude,
fucking this it's brutal if you're not wealthy, or you
have a like a white collar job, or live in
(14:29):
a specific part of the country where the economy like
is more diversified. They're like, and the solution is truly
about supporting people, Like the answer to uh, combating extremism
in this country is creating more equity. Um, but you know, again,
we're dealing with people who only know one fucking speed,
(14:51):
and that's you know you fuck you poors. And then
cheer Season two. The trailer just dropped. We I was
brought right back to it, right back. Um, you know,
Monica's back. Uh. We got uh some of some of
the greats, some of the characters that we've all been missing,
(15:13):
like Lexie brumback, the Platinum Hair super Tumbler. Yeah, the
like sort of is the one you were saying. It's
kind of the like human embodiment of not being fully
confident but then just gets coached through it and like
nails it. And then they're introducing a new like team,
(15:35):
a new coach who's fully covering yeah, rather than just
like the we're just focusing on one team. Yeah, there's
uh Ladarius Marshall is like the new coach who's like,
it's like just like a ticksh it seriously football bringing
that to cheer and like it. I like to see. Uh.
I like these kinds of shows too, Like I like
shows or we can just focus on one team. Those
(15:56):
have their merits, but there's also fun when you can
see two like horses collide at the end um that
I also love in a series. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm excited,
you know. And they're also the Matt Talk. Yeah. Well,
speaking of Matt Talk, Jerry Harris, who was, you know,
one of the lakouts in the first season. You know,
he's in jail now for like all kinds like sexual
(16:16):
abuse claims, like child sexual abuse, imagery charges that he's
like in federal charges currently, like in incarcerated for still
or is being held still the most lovable character from
season one. Yeah, and they it sounds like they don't
shy away from it like they it's in the trailer
pretty talking about it. Yeah, you have Monica the head coach,
(16:38):
who is for people who haven't been listening for the
past three years. Uh, we went through a long love
affair with the show Cheer Uh. Season one of Cheer Uh,
Monica the head Coach. It's about basically the if you're
like a college football fan, like what Alabama is in
college football, this is that for college if you're football
(16:59):
fan a professional Uh Patriots? Okay, what if you like
the NBA that's a good question. I guess would be
the Warriors now, like or like that like five years
ago Warriors. Yeah. Yeah, But anyways, Cheer is like the
elite college cheerleading squad and it's community college in Texas
(17:21):
and it's dope. It's if you didn't watch it, I mean,
it's one of those things. It's like the same thing
of like what the Formula one show did. Like it's
a thing where you might have a basic idea of
but when they get really into, like really zooming in
on it and seeing like what the all the dynamics
are at play, it gives you a you know, a
much deeper appreciation, So I'm hopefully this season two will
(17:44):
be something worth watching. Yeah, and it's like if the
most if like Albama football had the budget of like
a high school football team, Like that's what's wild. Is
like people are getting like just destroyed, like getting injured
horribly in there, just like next man up, like let's
it go? Uh pretty well anyways, Uh, those are the
(18:07):
things that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon. We are
back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bike Bike
