When you said it's Monday, I was like, or you know,
or to some people, day ten, day ten, don't don't God, Yes,
put another scratch in the wall in yourself, another another
strike through those four tally marks. How's everybody feeling this
this fine Monday morning. I'm adjusting, Yeah, I think it

(02:38):
got Yeah the maybe around Wednesday, I was like, oh uh,
And now I'm just trying to I think, you know,
realizing it'll be much easier if I can prepare to
make this normal. So now I'm doing that, and I'm
like getting really strict about giving, like you know, a

(02:59):
little bit of structure to the day because I'm like
forgetting how to eat even because like I don't have
those like normal things of like oh yeah, we've done
we're doing this, then we usually have a call, then
I go eat. Uh so now getting back to basics, Yeah,
I I feel like that's a that used to happen
to me when I worked from home. And you need
to like give yourself some boundaries that you're going to

(03:21):
stick to because otherwise it'll just work will bleed into
everything else. If if you have a job you like
doing or if you have a job you hate doing,
totally it really true. Well guys, let's uh real quick,
tell people what we're talking about. Aaron Paul is interested

(03:41):
in playing for Cobain. It's the news we need right now.
Tax Day has been pushed to July fifteen, actual news
we need, um, but fuckory is continuing. We have politicians
who were dumping stock after they were updated about so
it seems like this is something that uh that was

(04:04):
kind of a revelation I think Thursday night was that
it seems like rich people like knew about this, like
knew that ship was about to go terribly wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,
they'll talk. I'll talk. Yeah, I'm gonna tell people to
donate their gloves, masks, hand sanitizers to hospitals if they

(04:26):
have excess any of that. Um, I'm gonna talk. Uh
Slash just be despondent over the fact that Trump's approval
ratings are actually like taking slightly upwards instead of plummeting
to zero percent like I I assumed they would. Uh,
we're going to talk about how people are adapting. A

(04:48):
guy made an escape room on Google Docs, and Marble
revealed two new superheroes that, uh, I don't know. They
have to be fake. It almost seems fake. It's so funny, absurd.
It seems like satire, of like it would be a

(05:08):
satire made by a very dumb person. Um if if
it weren't actually real. But first, guys, let's get into
our search history. What are we searching? Oh? Boy, I
got bad news. I had to there's nothing left to search. Baby,

(05:29):
now that I had to search how to return a violin?
What happened? I got sent a broken violin? I know,
I said, I'm like, I don't really know. I mean,
I guess I'm looking for a zeit gang help because
I'm like, I don't want to like make someone come
to my house and then like pick it, like I

(05:50):
can wait for the choir to end to return the violin.
I want to bug someone right now. But I got
I ordered my violin and guess what it was a
piece of ship and and it turns out that you
it was a left handed one. I got a left
handed violin that was broken. Can't you just oh, is

(06:11):
that because the rest Yeah, you can't switch that not
on this one. It was like locked in, so it's
just like restring it. Okay, well that's fun. How much okay,
I'm sorry. The more real present question, how much did
you pay for said violent? Okay, maybe that explains some
of what happened, because I paid forty two dollars for

(06:33):
broken left handed violence? Okay, yeah, I think you know
my hands on me. I rolled the dice and I
lost where'd you do your shopping? Ah? You know? I
hit up Mr Bezos, saw what a cheapest violin was
and had it dropped off, and uh I had a
brief like I left out. I've just been like for

(06:53):
people who have been delivering stuff, I've just been like
leaving out like a little snack package, and because he
was like looking at me, like, are you seriously this
is a violin shaped I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry, necessary
the staples that we all need. I have no choice.
My only choice now is is to be a professional

(07:14):
ballerina and that is going great. Um alright, Miles, anything
you've been searching, I was searching jack Box because people
keep talking about Jack. Yeah, last name. I did not
know what they are. So, yeah, I'm old playing with us.
You gotta play with this. So it's like a survival

(07:37):
box made by Jack FM, full of like ax body spray,
is what I'm understanding. Uh, it's from that you don't
know Jack, guys, correct, yes, yes, and it's actually Jack.
I thought you were. I was under the impression that
you were involved in the creation of jack Box, right,

(07:58):
it seems like you might have been. When I met you.
I'm like, wait, Jack, from you don't know Jack, I
was like Jack of Box, the Jack of box, faan
of box, not of in the box, very different Jacks.
But Jamie, you were playing these games last night? Yeah? Yeah,
it was like a whole I mean yeah, Caitlin was there, everyone,

(08:21):
everyone was there. It was fun and I was there.
It's like party games. It's party games. You can live
stream them, Zach or I think it's Zack and Anna.
We're live streaming them and you just like hook your
computer up to your TV and click through to the
link and then you can play on your phone and
then it's it's really goofy and really fun and it

(08:42):
made us feel like we were with people. It was
so fun. Oh yeah, the DJ didn't. He's saying, I
think Cards against Humanity over the internet. That's that's that's about, right, Yeah.
I mean it's also like all the games that they
have are fucking really fun party games. Like the one
where you have to bullshit other people is one of
my favorites to play because you can people who are

(09:02):
not good at lying there tells are so bad and
it's just always fun to funk with people. What is
that's called fibbage? Miles Duh? I hate Cards Against Humanity,
but the fibbage sounds fun. You love Crimes against Humanity?
That's always good. Did you all replay? Did you all

(09:24):
everplay Apples to Apples? Yeah? Yeah, that is that's wholesome.
It's wholesome, and it's yeah, I don't like Cars against
humanity because they say naughty things. I know. That's that's
where I'm coming from. I don't like it because they
go blue and I don't like that. We're like cards
against Christianity that got me good? I got me good.

(09:49):
I mean, yeah, chainsaws for hands and that's a definite
nails in the cross reference that card. It's always it's
always a wild mensa used to you is like there
used to be certain MENSA users that would use cards
against you, would arrange Cards against Humanity cards to like
make weird threats against me. See, I like the vibe

(10:11):
is getting off the guys in mensa who were threatening you.
I'm assuming they were all guys, but it seems like
they probably were. You know, Like that's sort of the
the vibe that I got from Cards against Humanity. Like
the people who love Cards against Humanity feel like they
would be those people. I can't say that the writers,

(10:31):
the like people who write Cards against Humanity are awesome.
They're like in Chicago and they're really cool. But the
people who get too into it perhaps a bit of
a toxic fan based situation. Maybe I'm being too hard
on Cards against Humanity and we should not judge the
creators of a thing by by who who their fan basis,

(10:51):
The writers are are nice. This is a guy who
we won't drink monster because it has the mark of
the beast. You're such a good catholic. Oh yes, true Jack.
What's what's your mountain dew situation? I'm out again? That
was fast? Yeah. Yeah, those don't last very long there.
Oh you're out, like not out, like you won't drink more.

(11:13):
You just don't have any more. Yeah, I don't have
any Uh yeah, and it's it's hard for me to
justify like leaving the house just for mountain dew. So uh,
it's gonna it's gonna be a while before you catch
me in the deranged mode. I was in the day
that I was drinking mountain dew were strong energy from

(11:37):
strong miles anything you are. You've been searching, um searching,
let me think. No, No, I was actually I was
looking how long I needed to cook ground turkey because
oh yeah, because it says, you know, fourteen to sixteen minutes.

(11:58):
But like I had that ship crumbled. I'm like, bro,
this ship is cooked. But then I'm like they're like
four two to sixteen minutes. I'm like, this is going
to get fucking dry. So I had it a nice
medium rare and oh I'm sick and I do not

(12:19):
feel well. I just like making sure it fully cooked.
And now it's it's fine. Where's your where's everyone's poop? Set?
Right now? Minor, they're minor back. Min are getting better.
I think they're they're they're improving. I'm getting more vegetables,
mostly stress based. To be honest, Yeah, it turns out
we were killing it the whole time it. I googled

(12:43):
coronavirus beauty routine. I think that a lot of people
are thinking along the same lines that I was of, like, oh,
I'm gonna take advantage of this pandemic and get really sexy, right,
So I found a lot of suggestion. Al Right, guys,
what's something we all think is underrated? Because we all

(13:05):
agree on everything now, Oh, underrated um coronavirus. Yeah, still
save a lot of casualness out of people with this ship,
I would say, underrated um grows I mean grocery store
employees and convenience store employees, or at least here, I

(13:27):
mean everywhere, and shout out to all our to Ze
gang who work um work in the in those places.
But in California, especially, like when I got the push
notification that California was like, you can't, You're not supposed
to go out anymore. Cars were like our all of
a sudden, there was traffic on our street and we

(13:48):
like we went to seven eleven, got the last case
of white claw, terrifying. Uh, went to Walgreens and the guy.
But it's just like everyone working was like so like
everyone was like I don't know, at least in our area,
no one was being a dick, which is nice, and
like the employees were like fucking making it happen. They

(14:10):
were changing their gloves between transactions, like there was just
it was. I was like, it was amazing. Under rioted.
I feel like I'm gonna go with underrated. Like all
the countries that have done a good job with like
guarding their people against coronavirus. Vietnam has a country where

(14:31):
the average earnings, like on a per capita basis is
one tenth with the US is. But uh, they've managed
to do a really good job of, you know, protecting
their people from coronavirus spread even though they're much closer
to the origin. Um, yeah, but we're richer country, right right,
so we're number one, we should be better, right, umtalities Yeah,

(14:56):
I feel like also underrated, as if we had a
competent administration, this would be another story that would just
kind of fly under the radar of a lot of Americans.
I feel like they just be like, oh, yeah, it sucks.
Another thing, bad thing happened in other countries, but because
we have a just absolute clusterfuck of an administration, Like, yeah,

(15:20):
it's it's bad, ye, but shout out to all the
countries that did a good job, were prepared. Another underrated
I had was, um, if you have them watching your
like childhood videos, we started doing that yesterday. I've got
all the I have like a mini DV disc of
my sixteenth birthday party and is like, I mean, I'm

(15:45):
gonna try and I need to figure out how to
digitize it, but like I'm going to be dropping I'm
gonna be dropping some some hot clips, some deep kids.
There's there's a there's a shot of my mom doing
a slow zoom on my first slow dance with a
bull in the church basement. If my mom and you can,
she's like narrating and she's like Andrew Stodinsky. She was

(16:08):
hoping for this like so brutal um. So if you
have like a fun home video my mom, she has
the most cursed narration track to anything, any life event,
and they're all like this for so long. There's like

(16:30):
four different formats that went across my childhood, like started
a VHS and then she switched to like mini DV
tapes or whatever the fun it was, and then tiny
DVDs and then full size DVDs and so there she
there's a lot of formats there's but it's like I've
got time to to digitize and there's so many fun
up things that happened. A buddy of mine has a

(16:53):
mini DV deck because we used to make so many
fucking bullshit movies his kids on mini DV and like
he's an editor that like he back when people still
shot shot on mini DV had and he like dusted
it off and we started digitizing all kinds of wacky
ship that we were making. But let's let's connect. Let

(17:13):
me help you digitize that started cutting. You can give
us the cut with adult eyes, birthday parties, super cut.
I really want to see that she's wanted this. She's
one of this for so long. You shouldn't. That would
be a good Like just you start a YouTube channel

(17:35):
where it's you commenting on your childhood videos and then
do one of those like Cursed thumbnails where it's like
Jamie reacts and I'm like, oh baby, Jamie tries what
and it's just me with my jaw hinge. That's all

(17:55):
YouTube thumbnails? Or you have you need the one like
home Alone? Your hands pressed again, sciety your face like,
why do those work? Yeah? I don't know. We we
all just can't stop clicking on them, can we? Folks? Oh? Uh?
An idea for an under it. I haven't actually tested it.

(18:16):
But the last thing I want to try in this
week of quarantine is I want to see if I
could if if there's an easy way to watch them.
I want to try to get into soap operas. Oh
I'm sure there. Okay, Now it's got to be a
good time. I mean, everyone's home all day and we
could just all we should all start watching the stories
started starting over. Yeah. Yeah, that might be our new reality.

(18:40):
Yeah that would be fun. We all divide into gangs
of people who identify by the so popular that we
watch I'm young and the restless, like warriors sto I'm
general hospital. All right, let's take a quick break and
then we'll come back with and we're back, and let's

(19:09):
talk about what's overrated gang? Shall we? M hm m
m hmm. I'm gonna say the Trump presidency's response to
the uh this pandemic with I know, hot Spicy. I
didn't think that it was overrated. I assumed everybody was

(19:32):
paying attention. But his approval on the like blended average
and eight has gone up uh since the pandemic started. Uh.
I don't know, but when pole take place, I mean,
it's pretty there's a couple of day legs, so maybe

(19:52):
that's what's happening. But also like I mean, I think
if we look at how you know, we are feeling
it in only a handful of state. It's like Washington, California,
and New York Illinois. Like, so those places are like
actively seeing their lives change dramatically pretty quickly, as as
is the rest of the country. But I think once
once the rubber hits the road, with a lot of

(20:14):
people's jobs freezing up and the knock on effects of
the economy, I can't imagine it's going to stay up.
But I don't think I don't think people fully appreciate
how avoidable this was, um, and how how much his
kind of resistance slash lack of leadership around getting testing
out has really fucked us completely. Um, you know, like

(20:39):
kind of all the sobride analysis of just different countries
responses really drives home the fact that they didn't they
didn't want testing. They still don't want testing. At Friday's
news conference, he was like, I don't think everybody should
get tested for Yeah, it's assert again, and there's no

(21:01):
way to combat a pandemic like this without testing people
and understanding where they're, where the infection is, how it's spread.
We keep I mean, I think we'll just have to
continue to keep talking about this because that's the only
way to really effectively deal with this situation. And when
you look at like, you know, once the pretty like
once the Chinese had actually figured out the genetic sequence

(21:23):
of the virus and made that available all the other countries,
most of the other countries had their ship together, began
making their own test kits because they knew how to
you know, find it based on the testing or the
PCR testing. And like reading I think there's like a
New York Times article that's saying, like, hey, trouble getting tested,
maybe you just live in the wrong country, and it's
talking about every other country like how they were just

(21:46):
super on it and how we were basically a month
or month and a half completely behind, and just like
I don't know, we'll make our own and then we
made fucked up kits that didn't even work. Yeah, And
I think there's something approaching Stockholm syndrome with the way
that people are reacting to this administration, and it is

(22:06):
like being in under a wartime administration and that we're
getting emergency briefings every day and you know, war does
uh kind of raise people's esteem for their leadership, but um,
if this ends up making him more popular, it's really uh,

(22:27):
I don't know. He's been so massively incompetent in their
entire administration has been so massively incompetent um and then
they're politicizing of it, and you know, claiming that the
media is using it to harm him rather than just
reporting the incompetence is really I don't know, yah, mind bending.

(22:49):
I kind of wonder. I think that that like wartime administration,
that's probably kind of close to what it is, because
I was wondering the same thing or like last week
to where you found like I found a lot of
people in my mentions, like first of all, not willing
to hold the giving the Trump administration more leniency in

(23:11):
terms of like how little like how little and how
they seem to know and we're doing. And then in
the same way around the like primary stuff with like
well why didn't people just vote early, like in like
being more willing to blame people, um, rather than the
systems that are making things people, you know, making it

(23:32):
impossible for people to live as normal. And I maybe
and maybe it is like an impulse that's kind of
connected to like, well if I can't trust this system,
what can I trust? But it's like really would encourage
everyone to shake that notion because if you play, I mean,
if you blame the people like around you who are

(23:53):
literally trying to avoid contract to get deadly virus, like
that's a a some flawed some flawed ship. People are
NBA players and celebrities, and it is frustrating that they
are getting tested without symptoms. But at the same time
they're getting tested when people should be getting tested like
that we we all should have been tested on and

(24:14):
all that should do is upset people that there's clearly
problems with access to this testing based on your social class. Right. Well,
it's like at this point, I know like three people
that almost certainly have corona and cannot get tested for
it and have been trying to get tested for it.
Like it's and I's like that at this point, like

(24:34):
a lot of us know someone who probably has it
and can't get the test. Yeah and yeah, again, I
think even the poll numbers maybe up now, but this
thing really is still very abstract to a lot of
people in the country, um like in terms of like
obviously people are feeling the knock on effects of the
financial parts, but I think, you know, there's still there's

(24:58):
still clearly an element of denial p pople are in
about this whole thing, whether that's just kind of being like,
you know, the Vanessa hudgens Is of the world, who
are like, yeah, all locked down, but like, honestly, I
think it's being blown way out of proportion. You're saying
that on day fucking three. The Natalie A. Portman's of
the world being like, yeah, I think do you kill
or die far oh yeah, everything. But I think even

(25:21):
for other people when when you realize like, oh fuck,
this is this is going to be the new normal
for for you know, Anthony Fauci said several weeks. I
think he wanted to avoid saying months, so he opted
for several weeks um. But I think when that starts hitting,
people are going to be asking questions like why the
fund did it get to this? What is going on?

(25:44):
Like and you're not testing people? And I think even logically,
even if you're not the most scientifically savvy person and
you're in a community where it's hitting your community, and
you're like, hold on, man, I think people are getting
really sick and we can't test. That's I think we
just need I think we're going to begin to realize
sort of, you know, how this affects them too, and

(26:04):
maybe public opinions change. But if everybody could get tested,
we wouldn't be stranded in our houses right now unless
you had like if you could be tested like that,
like you should be able to be tested, then we
would have, you know, people in quarantine who needed to
be in quarantine. But right now it's just we we
don't know, So everybody has to stay home, and like

(26:25):
that is directly attributable to the you know, inbuilt problems
with our health care system, but also just the complete
funk up by this administration. And also what I have
to believe is going to be uh, you know, evidence
that they intentionally withheld testing or slow testing or you know,
they specifically did not accept the World Health Organization tests

(26:49):
because like because of some why Like yeah, they didn't
have any explanation why why. But this is like anything
we've seen a positive pause Calm, Okay, here's my passy calm.
Maybe by the time this Arizona will disagree with myself.
But I was thinking last night like that, I'm hoping.

(27:13):
I mean, it's taking too long, and it absolutely is
causing more damage than it needs to. But this whole
crisis is forcing basic social programs that should have gotten
off the ground way sooner to finally happen, and so
I hope that that will have positive long term effects.

(27:33):
Example being that UM there are like a bunch of companies,
including Spectrum, that like they I don't know whether it's
just a policy they did or like legally they can't.
But there's certain companies that you um cannot pay your
bill if you can't afford it, and they can't cancel
your service right now, but I'm sure they could just

(27:55):
make it worse. I don't know. So I was a
will for the first time yesterday to get my city
counselor to respond to something that I said, um, which
felt really like, I mean, I will not even speaketh
his name because I don't think he's doing as good
a job as he should. But but I did, like

(28:17):
I I've tweeted at this guy a bunch, and this
was the first time that I actually got a response
from whoever's running that Twitter accomping, like, hey, where is
this encampment located? Like we we are planning to do this,
this and this. Um. So I'm I mean, I don't
know there there's like such a big homelessness um problem

(28:39):
in our city in particular, but now it's like this
this city and like on a state and city level,
like both um the mayor and the governor have had
to commit to actually doing something, which normally they just
pretend it's not a thing that's happening. And now I
actually got my city counselor to respond to me and say, hey,
we're bringing a hand washing stage in this weekend and

(29:01):
we're having like local um, most local uh like rex
centers around here are being turned into shelters for a while.
So it's like basic things that should have been done
a long time ago that are actually going to be
done now. I hate, I mean, and I hate that
it has to be something so horrible to get something
to happen. But there's like the tiniest bright side in there.

(29:22):
Maybe that's great. One other thing that the internet, our internet,
the fact that we have access to Internet that won't
drop you is overrated, I would say, because Miles, you
keep getting dropped. Man, something happens. I don't know if
it's my neighborhood or my router whatever. I mean, we

(29:43):
work through it. It's not it's not dire, but we
We did talk on last week's episode about how like
it seems like the internet uh quality is like a
little bit shakier than it has been uh. And in
the Zeitgang discourse or discord UH they were talking about, uh,

(30:04):
how like kind of an explanation for that, and that
like when you look at general internet traffic around the world,
it's up five percent within the US during normal work hours,
which isn't that much. Currently, YouTube streaming is beating Netflix
two times over the bandwidth consumption, which is pretty wild,

(30:26):
but yet torrenting makes up as of December two nine,
about five to ten percent of bandwidth. And we will
give credit to P. D. Thorn from Ze Gang for
that little report. Thank god, I just got an email
Taco Bell will deliver to your door. Holy ship. Guys.

(30:48):
All right, we're all right, so let's just put that
right there. Guys, I'm gonna go have diarrhea again. Diarrhea's
back on the menu, everyone, Anything else we want to
say is overrated before we go to our myths. Uh no,

(31:08):
maybe the internet thing and the fact that we can
always have access to internet can be our myth and
we can move right on to the stories. Oh the day,
unless anybody had a myth they really wanted to bust.
I mean, myth is one of the stories I'd like
to I'd like to bust the myth that I was
really waiting to dance with that boy at my birthday party. Okay, well,

(31:29):
you know, like Jamie, we need to see the tape first.
I'd like to say I did have a crush on him,
but but the way that she said it made it
sound like I had a crush on him for for years,
and I would say she really wordy explanations just reek
of the fact that you wanted that dance. I'd just
like to say it was a fairly new crush and

(31:51):
it ended up working out in my favor, and that
is that's great. But she really made it sound like
I've been wanting it for ten years. Okay, what you
sound as nervous as some of these senators who got
caught possibly insider trading as seamlessly switched to my myth,
which is that and I think this myth has been
busted since the beginning of time, but that these politicians

(32:14):
give a fuck about you, and all they will do
was will exploit their proximity to power and information to
only enriched themselves. And case and point, we're looking at
four senators right now, possibly more who dumped a lot
of stock from around the time when they received a

(32:35):
briefing from the White House on what to expect from
the coronavirus outbreak and then the following weeks as well.
And these are Senators Jim Einhof, Kelly Leffler from Georgia.
Diane Feinstein died fy why she's been unnoticed for a
while and this really yeah put the mail. She's like

(32:56):
our Susan Collins, but like like to a lesser and
I think for for like progressives and liberals are like,
what are you doing, Diane uh? And also Richard Burr
who's the head of the Intel Committee, who gets a
lot of information as well. Um, And it just when
you just look at this these you know, to put
it broadly, these senators, it looks like, according to this timeline,

(33:17):
on January had a meeting with the White House, a
briefing on like what the disruptions and what the outbreak
could look like of coronavirus. And then those following days
some were um selling an excess of one point five
million dollars worth of stock um in businesses that we're
going to be negatively affected by this outbreak and the

(33:40):
coming shutdowns. So on one hand they're like, oh, I
don't know, like a lot of the like Kelly Leffler,
for example, she said, you know a lot of um
that trading is actually done unbiknownst to me, Like there
that money is being managed. But keep in mind her
husband is the fucking chairman of the New York Stock Exchange,
So how the fuck is she going to go out

(34:01):
of a meeting where she's heard, oh man, we're talking
probably some disruptions to business. Travel is going to decrease,
and be like, hey, you know that a comfort in
stock we have that that those hotel stocks you have,
I would dump them the funk right now because they're
about to be they're about to turn into paper. Um.
And then the irony is she didn't just dump stock
that was going to be negatively affected. She fucking bought

(34:24):
stock in a company that specializes in teleconferencing. Yeah, it's
it's fucked up. It's uh. I mean, it's like it's
the least surprising thing ever. And it's just these people
need to fucking go to jail. They need to be
take all their fucking money from them. This is fun.
This is just completely absurd, And this has been This

(34:46):
happens all the time. Like Richard Burford example, he dumped
a ton of hotel stock. Um. But he's also one
of the few senators who opposed this Stop Trading on
Congressional Knowledge Act, which was a bill that was put
forward that explicitly kept lawmakers UM and anyone who worked
for them basically being like, do not use any of
this information you have access to to benefit yourself in

(35:08):
the stock market. And Richard Burr's like, I don't know
if we need that cut to this bullshit right now,
and a lot of like disclosure for him show that
Richard Burr is not like you know, they say he's
worth about one point eight million dollars and he traded
or he sold around one and a half million dollars
worth the stock. So I think he was literally protecting
his fucking retirement with this move. But they're all fucking

(35:31):
They're all saying in the same tired ass tune of like, oh,
you know, this is just it's weird. I don't actually
deal with that, but we need an investigation. Yeah, this
is if true, this could be bad. On one hand, Yeah,
maybe it is true that they don't know how that
money moved, but I I don't know, I don't know.
I would be very interested to I'm looking forward to

(35:53):
reading sort of the long read, deep dive journalism about
other rich people who like kind of seemed to know
something was going on, like Bob Iger stepping down as
the CEO of Disney and everyone wait, where the fund
is that coming from? And you know, it's like When
he did that, people were like, do we think this

(36:14):
has anything to do with coronavirus? It seems to be
a real problem for China and their Chinese theme parks
cut to like two weeks later, and nobody's like really
thinking about that anymore. But it's it's really strange. It
does seem like there might be also, like in addition
to covering their own asses when it comes to their investments,

(36:36):
there might be like an information hoarding thing going on
where they're like, well, we don't want to panic the public,
but so let's just like keep this information to ourselves
and protect ourselves. Well while you know the world is
ready to get just destroyed by assuming and then yeah,
and then turn around and ask for a bail up. Well,

(36:57):
there's definitely still I mean I feel like there's definitely still.
It seems like over the course of a month, like
pieces of what is a huge story, like you're saying,
Jack or have been kind of like coming out and
it'll all I don't know, liking you know, keep your
fucking corkboard, attach all the strings, will figure it out.

(37:18):
I mean, it could be interesting to see how many
people like jettison to their golden parachutes, like in a
very explicit way. If there's more analysis on like what
kind of sales were made and movements within that one
percent class? Uh? Yeah, do you think? Do you think? Okay,
I was just thinking about the Denver Airport this morning

(37:38):
because I'm always thinking about the Denver Airport. You think
people getting ready to go to the Denver Airport or
is that for a different conflict? Yeah? All the well,
you know, like there's all those conspiracy theories about the
Denver Airport of like that's where uh, that's where the
rich people are going to go when things fall to
ship and it's right right right. Oh oh, I love

(38:00):
these theories. I read about them all the day, all
the time. I thought you just meant you were talking
about you were thinking about the giant sculptures asshole? Did
you see that that picture going around? No? Have you
have you seen that giant horse sculpture that's like terrifying
and specifically designed for a horror movie and it killed

(38:22):
owner what or in it killed its creator? The horse
killed its creator. And also it has a fully articulated
asshole really next to like a very vainy like ball
sack and penis. I love that scary horse. I love
Denver airport theories. I just like if you all of

(38:43):
a sudden are like, oh, it looks like a celebs
in Denver. They're going to the airport. They're going to
the bunker. This is the conspiracy theory I'll go down with.
I mean it would be it would suck, though, to
try and run away to a place that a lot
of people suspected you were going, because what happens when
we're at the gates, I don't know. I just know

(39:03):
there's a bunch of girl scouts that say they saw
the bunker in the nineties, and then the Denver Airport
was like, oops, we shouldn't have showed you that, And
now they just tell the girl scouts it wasn't true.
That was a chucky cheese actually, but you know how
that went. So we had to we had to boarded up.
Believe women a K. I believe those Denver girl scouts.

(39:25):
All right, guys, let's take one more break and we'll
be right back. And we're back and quickly text day
has been pushed to ju um. So I mean, this

(39:48):
is kind of I do feel like this might also
have something to do with why people are like being
okay with the current administration because they are having to
do things that you know, make allowances for the fact
that our world is totally fucked um, since that is
one of the only public faces people are getting and

(40:09):
that is what they're coming to associate it with. Like
maybe that's the sort of thing that is making people
view it more positively, but this is yeah, And like
they're easing like student loan payments for like federally whole
held student loans. So you read things, you're like, Okay,
they kind of get it, but it's a lot of

(40:30):
the stuff is really narrow to like a lot of
like the you know, the mortgage payments being frozen or
evictions being frozen, some of those apply to just really
narrow group of renters um and owners. So you know,
the headlines might look good, but when you really deep,
dig deep into your like, hmm, this isn't actually quite

(40:51):
And I think people will realize that when they when
they hear something like that and they're like, oh great,
and then when they apply for that assistance, they're like,
I don't qualify. What the funk is this? Well, yeah,
and again you have to really read the fine print
and stuff like that, because there's a lot of things
that like the headline sounds good, and then you find
out you are only eligible if you have coronavirus coronavirus
or if you're living some with someone who has coronavirus,

(41:13):
and that if you're just affected by it, uh in
a in a quarantine sense, you did, the benefits don't
apply to you. Yeah, and how are you going to
prove that you have coronavirus when they won't give you
a test? Exactly? Oh, now, it's like that gift with
the black dude where he's like, Oh, can't pay somebody's
coronavirus assistants payments if I don't test them and they

(41:34):
don't have coronavirus. It's such a good gift. Where is
that gift from? It's from this British comedy forget what
it is, but yeah, it's it's from a like an
English comedy, the classic. Also the like, a one time
payment of one thousand or two thousand dollars is not
gonna not gonna cut it. It's going to need to
be monthly for as long as this crisis last. Um,

(41:57):
let's talk about Aaron Paul really quickly step away from
this is just so funny to be because like, well
it's just funny. There's like a headline, right, I think
it's an A V Club or something where it's this says,
Aaron Paul is interested in playing Kurt Cobain in a biopic.
And then when you like actually clicked the article, it's
just saying that a few years ago he said that

(42:17):
he would like to do like maybe play Kurt Cobain
in a biopic. Yeah, and that was like the whole thing,
And I'm like, wait, so the source of this headline
is referencing a year's old article in which he merely
expressed the desire to play a part. There's no there's
nothing in development, there's no, nothing has been agreed to.

(42:40):
But it's just like I think it's just more indicative
to of like what's happening for a lot of writers too,
is like events are dwindling to report on that now
it's like here's a new headline. If I don't know
if you I don't know if you guys remember this,
but remember when like Aaron Paul was like he wanted
to beat Kurt Cobain. Anyway, that's that part. I just

(43:00):
think Aaron Paul is the thirstiest b list or in
the mix there there there. Well, he just like everything
you every story about him is just he just wants
to be talked about. He wants to be kept top
of mind. He's like, hey, remember hey remember breaking back?

(43:20):
Like he's he's literally he's I mean, this is like
a little bit uh. We live in a bubble. But
like Aaron Paul's out here with his fucking dog at
the Silver Lake Halloween Dog pageant, dressing his dog up
in a breaking bad costume. I think he's embarrassing. Oh wow, Okay,
so now we come back to Sonny's knife costume. Sonny

(43:43):
Sonny's knife cost him. They wouldn't even they that he
wasn't given a chance. They were like, that's the real
quirkboard that the Zeke gang needs to be working on.
How everything goes back to Sonny's knife cut about Sonny's
devastating loss in the twenty nineteen pageant. They didn't even
when they brought him out, they were like, and this

(44:04):
is Sunny as a knife. I was like, Okay, you
don't need to say it like that first. And anyways,
Aaron Paul is that one of the judges was dressed
as Joe Biden, and that's the only reason. Now if
it would have been someone that's tried to have sex.
Yeah there, well, and I was like, it all goes

(44:26):
back to the costume. The second, the second most thirsty
celeb in the past day of news cycle is um
it's Aaron Paul thinking about doing something and I think
demanding his publicist email somewhat about it. And second is
Josh Gad front facing cry video. You see that, Yeah there.

(44:49):
I have no patience for Josh Gad none at all.
I'll allow it. People who are going through some ship like,
I'll allow it. I I find that much more acceptable.
The imagined video from last week. I find I think
that it's going to be very hard to empathize with
any celebrity solidarity video until you have it pulled out

(45:10):
to a full shot and you see where they are.
It's one thing to have your Josh God front face
crying video, but then when you see frozen palas behind them,
You're like, I guess I don't care if Josh Gad
is crying. I used to get very fair. Okay, that's
my those are my two be that's like the pain,

(45:31):
like there's multiple dimensions of the struggle and pain we're
all experiencing where it's like, you know, the human level,
regardless of how wealthy you are, you're going to feel that.
And I think that's what Josh Gad's doing in his videos.
But then for there meant plenty of us who also
want to be sobbing too, but we're like, you know what,
we kind of need to hold it together to kind
of keep surviving here. And yeah, it's it's tough when

(45:52):
you look at somebody you're like, oh, you don't have
survival on your mind more so than like the hit
to your social life. And I think I think that's
what I hope many of these people can begin. And
even like myself in certain aspects, I just you know,
I want to be able to acknowledge how fortunate you
can be, to be able to do some maintain some
semblance of normalcy throughout this um. But yeah, and also

(46:16):
think of other people too, and like what they're going
through and how you can be a person who pulls
somebody up rather than just sort of like looks down.
It's like, oh, that's sucked up. Not to be a
gad fly, even though that is what me and other
Gad fans consider ourselves, call ourselves. But he does say

(46:36):
that he's crying on behalf of all the people whose pain.
He is, you know, empathizing with lunteer at a food pantry. Motherfucker. Like,
I don't know, sorry, he is nothing if not an EmPATH.
I just want to say that. Do you remember when
A Rise of Skywalker came out and there was that
very cursed marketing video of Josh Gad being like, hey,

(46:58):
I love Star Wars Wars Daisy Ridley, Star Wars is
coming out, Like I just he's annoying. No he isn't, No,
he isn't. He should have been promoting Frozen two, but
instead he had his publicist email Star Wars would be like, hey,
Josh Gad would love to be annoying in a Star
Wars thing, and they were like, all right, who is

(47:20):
he in Frozen? He's all off? He's really yes, Yeah,
he's a very talented voice actor. I will never downplay
Josh Gad's talents. I just think as a human being,
he's so deeply obnoxious. He also one of my favorite
This was something on who Weekly uh that they pointed out,
but um, who Weekly did a search of Josh Gad

(47:42):
doing celeb r I P s and making it about
himself on Twitter, and there's like there's like a murderer's
like like like for the past ten years, Josh God
has been like R I P so and so I'll
never forget when I met you. Oh it's so, that's well, yeah,

(48:03):
that's the other talent we've seen the improvisation to survive
we've seen out of people. It's like really honing that
skill to make even this global pandemic very narrowly about yourself. Yeah,
and like export that. But you know, there's no other way.
I think a lot of other people I think are
just aside from Josh Gad, I don't even know, Like
I just hear that name and I never knew who

(48:24):
the Defense forces out today. No, I just don't. I'm like,
I don't even know who the funk he is. I'm like, oh, frozen,
never seen it. And I'm great in the Book of Mormon,
he was great in the Ashton Kutcher Jobs movie. He's great,
and pretty much he's great in Pixels. He's pretty much everything,
but he's annoying. Much like, how do we bring an

(48:46):
even handed adjudication of Josh Gad's body of work on
this show. I've I know a lot about him because
I'm very fixated on how frustrating I find him. Yeah,
well he's reading. He's reading children's books to people or
children's books every night. That's great. Well, that's I'm glad
he's doing something like that. That is the thing that

(49:08):
keeps being offered on both from celebrities and from uh
my children's teachers, who I love and God bless them
and they're the best. But like, why would we need
somebody to read our kids books over live stream when
we can like if because we're we're there when they're

(49:29):
on the internet. Why why wouldn't we just read them
the books? I don't know. That's confusing to me. Well,
it's also like, would you want your teacher to read
you a bedtime stort? I don't know, I don't know. Yeah,
I usually, I mean, to be fair, my parenting style
is usually plopping them down in front of a live
stream of Josh Gad. But I mean, I'm glad Josh

(49:51):
guys doing something for the kids. That's nice. Kids love
all off. That's good. Yeah with that, But the did
Jack to your kids like those books? About the pigeon
that like, don't let the pigeon drive the buzz Yeah,
oh yeah that I like that. That author Moe Williams
has been doing like a morning like doodle session with

(50:13):
kids that I thought was really cute. He is amazing.
He is our generations SEUs or my kids. Dude, I
think that guy is one of the most obnoxious, thirsty
bliss celebrities I have ever seen this. Mo will good,
he didn't crivd He's great. I think is that a

(50:38):
new meme we can do. Everyone does their own front
facing private. Honestly, it could end up like that where
people who are really struggling co opt this video style
to be like, no, this is what human suffering. Well,
there's already been so many like I've in the past
twenty four hours, I've been involved in three celebrity imagine
video parodies like people like that's unfortunately just the truth.

(51:03):
I did one to Ariana or No one to Selena
Gomez is loved Me like a love song? Did one
to smash Mouth all Star, did one to tell shout
out to um? I mean, really, would that song have
been a big hit without Mick g That's a question
that Mick g asks you to ask yourself on a

(51:24):
regular basis, what's mcge doing for the kids? What's he
streaming for the kids? Yeah, that is That's what I
think we're all wanting to know, just because whatever it
is is probably super lit us. It's his commercial reel
on a fucking loop. So, guys, this officially marks one

(51:45):
week that at least the Zeitgeist has been recording remotely,
and I feel like it's a good time to look
at just a review of how how we humans are
adapting to our you know, being shut in. What what
what's going on? Jamie? You said that, Uh, at the

(52:07):
end of last week, you did a comedy show, a
streamed comedy show, and it was cooler than you expected.
It was awesome. It was I just like, I love
all my comedy friends and I missed them. I just
was like, is Instagram I'm gonna like work for this
kind of thing. But from what I could tell, it
really did I And it also just felt good to

(52:28):
like feel like you were performing a little bit for
for a second. It was really it was really nice.
So if you're looking for diversience, comedy shows are still happening, um,
and they're all obviously if free to go to now.
Uh yeah like that it's it's been super super super nice. UM,

(52:50):
so highly recommend. Yeah. I think just in general, because
we are dealing with like the total lack of stimulation.
You know, we're creatures of habit and we have needs
and we adapt pretty quickly or we become ingenious pretty quickly.
And I think phase one is I think most people
trying to figure out solving like the socializing boredom aspects

(53:14):
of being sort of isolated because you know, like we
like we've been saying, like over the last week on
the of the show, like talking about using video chats
to like you know, play jack box or quip lash.
Other people are doing ship like that, or there's been
like virtual raves where people were like sitting streaming from
like a warehouse in Brooklyn with like five thousand viewers,

(53:38):
like on Twitch because like one of these club promoters
was like, yo, I know a lot of DJs who
can't do what they want to do anymore, but maybe
we can find a way to give people some music
or way to you know, turn the music up at
home and participate in something. UM. And then the funny
thing is like people are saying, like Club Penguin Online. Yes,
we were talking about Club Penguin last week. Yeah, so

(53:58):
like Club Penguin on line is like an off brand version, right,
Like there's Club Penguin and there's Club Penguin Online. Am
I getting that right? I'm not exactly sure. Actually that's
a good question. Wait, sorry, what was this on an
episode I was not there for because I don't know
what the funk y'all are talking about. Well, now Jack
doesn't fucking listen to what it doesn't listen anything, Jamie said, Yeah,

(54:19):
Jamie was talking about how Club Penguin came back. He's
just a thirsty list. He's just in it for the
front phasing cry. I prefer Club Polar Bear. But like,
oh god, actually I'm gonna show myself out for that joke.
Um on there they're saying, like, you know, it's basically
like sort of like a second life but with your

(54:40):
little penguin avatars. But it's mimicking real life, like what
a lot of people have been seeing, Like definitely a
lot of people sharing anxieties and like what they what
their hopes are for the future. But the other thing
is like people aren't like the sports stadium, no one
was in there. The skate park was empty, the dance
clubs and d so people are just gathering in these

(55:01):
other spaces. I think that reflect more even what's happening
in the in the real world. Uh, it's just very
very interesting to see that. I like it. I've been
watched I've been playing this off brand game called Avatar
High that used to be sound It sounds well. I

(55:22):
told Isaac about it, and Isaac was like, what is
not NAVI in high school? I was like, fucking no,
it's it's the SIMS, but in high school. So you
make eight characters and then you make them date each other,
and you make them decide what their college majors are,
and you can throw a prom and it's really fun
and everyone should play. That sounds fun. Is that a
social game or is that like just a you know,

(55:43):
it's a all by yourself game, all by yourself, which
are still important. It's a lonely game. A meetings are
also going like using zoom, and it's cool because you
don't have to go anywhere. You just go from being
in a meeting to clicking a button and you're all
by yourself, just very quickly, which is nice. I actually

(56:07):
linked off to a guide to l A A meetings
Virtual a Meetings in l A in my Twitter profile
if people want to check it out. Yeah, we could
also put them the show notes on the discord. This
guy made an escape room on Google Docs. That's cool. Yeah,
just like very simply, it's more like a choose your

(56:28):
own adventure because obviously, like you're limited to like text
and pictures and hyper links on one piece of paper.
But it's kind of more choose your own adventure and
you get a bunch of options, Like you'll read a
paragraph and then you can choose an option and'll link
to another thing. Uh. So that's another thing we'll post
in the shore notes in foot his will so you

(56:49):
can try just you know, some weird ship. It might
inspire you to make your own ridiculous Google doc escape room. Personally,
I'm just I'm just like hanging out at home jerking
off until Quimby drops. I think we're all in that architecture.
I need to see Judge Chrissy ten or whatever the fuck. Also,

(57:13):
someone wrote a spec script for Curb Your Enthusiasm in
the time of coronavirus. Anyone wants to check that out
that that has actually crossed my mind that this like wait,
they couldn't have it out already, but they would almost
like you would almost expect them to be. They just
went to Larry David's house and and just like made

(57:36):
I mean, yeah, okay. Shout out to Anna for bringing
that to our attention. All right, guys, a pleasure as
always one week in the books of our new show format, Jamie.
Where Can People Find You? Yeah? I have fun this
highlight of the day. Don't tell my family what uh? Where?

(58:00):
Where can people find you? Follow you? You can find
me on Twitter at Jamie Loft as help Instagram at
Jamie christ Superstar. Listen to the beck del Cast. We're
having Barry Son and Feld on this week remotely and
we're covering Wild Wild West. So that's a hot exclusive

(58:25):
that I'm very excited for. UM. Yeah, so yeah, just
just go there and make sure to UM. Just a
reminder to check out a mutual aid funds UM near
where you're living, whether you're on lockdown or you're on
semi lockdown or whatever. UM look up what your local
mutual aid fund is. There's always people in places that
are looking for supplies. They'll come to your house and

(58:47):
pick it up. You don't even need to leave if
you're not comfortable leaving. But if you have a little
bit of extra stuff is very very easy to do,
and they make it very smooth process. They picked up
a bunch of toilet paper from here yesterday and it
went great. So do it up? Do it up? Did
they pick up any white claw or was that that
they didn't have any extras? We don't have any extra

(59:07):
white claw in this. Actually gonna need all of them.
I'm gonna need all those. Uh, I'm good, we will.
We will link off to that in the footnotes in
the shoes. Yeah, there's a great been enjoying there is.
Give a second. It's from Nick Sarelli of Nick Sarelli

(59:31):
and Brad Evans, two of the best people on the planet. Um,
you can listen to their They actually have a great
Jack Jack f em parody on Comedy bank Bag this week.
It's so good. They are so and I just if
you haven't like discovered them, now is the time to
discover Nick and Brad. They've been they did. They do

(59:51):
a lot of like incredible like video stuff, um, which
I should have described that better, but they did a
great video on March five teenth, where it's them and
Drew Tarver and they're they're saying coronavirus isn't stopping this
Tool cover band, And it's just two minutes of them
dressed as a Tool cover band saying like, Hey, we're

(01:00:13):
so sorry we had to cancel the gig, but we're
not going to let this stop the fucking music. And
then they start playing tool music out of sync over video.
It's really great. Uh. And then there's another Nick tweet
that says, um, if social distancing has you down, just
remember that Shakespeare, a guy that wasn't real, wrote a

(01:00:33):
bunch of boring ass ship that no one reads after
high school, during a time when everyone in Europe was
drinking diarrhea water to protect themselves from Jewish magic. Nick
Sarelli and following at bread of his two that is
