Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh hey, there, it's me Jack. You've caught me unwinding,
enjoying a large goblet of delicious eggnog, untangling my brain,
gaining five to fifteen pounds of eggnog while we unwind.
Here at Daily Zeitgeist, in addition to publishing our normal
year end episodes and Santa's University, etc. We've decided to
(00:25):
take the opportunity to count down the top ten episodes
of the year published over the next ten days. The
ten days that will be off Monday through Friday, two
weeks in a row. How Jack, how did you guys
determine the top ten episodes? They were all equally incredible. Well,
we used a little something called democracy. Ever heard of it?
(00:48):
Depending on when you listen to this episode, that might
not be such a rhetorical question. But anyways, we let
you vote on the most listened to episodes of the
year to see what you liked best. And you're about
to hear your answers. Just ten bangers right in a row.
We've got a trending episode in the mix. We got
a lot of good ones and at number one, well,
(01:11):
let's just say you'll find out, especially if this is
the number one episode we're putting this same bumper at
the start of all ten, so we hope you enjoy it.
We hope you enjoyed listening to this year of TDZ
as much as we enjoyed making it. And we will
see you all in twenty twenty five. We hope you
have a RESTful holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Oh wait, select America's blue snowball? Right, oh yeah, I
wasn't supposed to say out loud. I'm still on my
blue snowball.

You're the podcasters are like so it's like so old school.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's like it's like circa Obama era started a podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's in the shape of a little ball and it's
got little legs on it. I think it's actually pre
dates my time.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And does it looks like it looks like what you
thought Xenon would use you know what I mean? Yeah,
it's like a prop from Xenon. Girl of the twenty
first century.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Like one of the thirty movies that came out after
Star Wars, where they were like, we could do that
too with just stuff we have around the house.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, sorry, I love I don't know how to tell
your listeners this, but Xenon Girl of the twenty first
Century is better than Star Wars. Come in my DM, bitches.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Star Wars doesn't have that many fans actually, and the
ones that does have very chill, so chill, very chill
and reasoned circumspect. I would say the number one word
that comes to mind for me with Star Wars fans circumspect,
good priorities, everything's in its right place. Hello the Internet,

So good to have you back.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I like obsessed that, you know, Lupita Nonga.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I talk with her like crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I'm like, I bet she just smells so nice. In
love with her. I'm obsessed with the fact that she
got a cat because of a quiet place after having
to have cat therapy because she was scared of cats,
and then she filmed that movie and then she adopted
a cat, and now she posts like photo shoots with
a cat for its birthday, and I'm like, obsessed, Oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's just phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You just rattled that off like everybody knows. That is
that something everybody knows?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
If you heard me on the last episode, I'm obsessed
with Moodang, the pygmy hippo from Asia, and I'm obsessed
with Lapida Nonga and her cat. And that's the only
two things on my timeline.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Actually, she has many superpowers. One of them is just
you would tell her your name pronunciation and then it's
just there right right away, right away. Yeah, and just
like so fast with every I mean, she's an Academy
Award winning actress. Of course you can retain mountains and
mountains of information. But it's just like so smooth, so professional.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Knows its way around a word or two.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
But that was the creepiest way to say that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Still is that weird? Why do we keep talking about
her mouth? From that?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm still recovering.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I really apologize. Jesus Christ was that.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It's a beautiful mouth you got there seems to know it's.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
A way around. That is a compliment I like to
give people. Is it not good? I mean I could
just you can maybe you can be honest with me.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Here, give it to really macho man and see, God.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Damn, your mouth knows it's when.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I've read that's like a skirt that really knows her
way around all fill in the blank.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Mm hmmm, yeah, well he didn't say skirt.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, to be fair, Zara, that I understand why you
said that. But Brian has been instructed to edit out
all the times when I say skirt, so it won't
be in the final cut.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I mean, that's the way to do it. Just erase
any history a skirt.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Jesus Christ. Well, I apologize for that, but I am
thrilled to have you back on the show. Out. Yeah,
how's motherhood treating you? Oh my god, that's all we
need to hear. I think that says it all.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But that means if you're not an exhausted parent, then
like you're a bad parent, you know what I mean.
So that means you're a great mom.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Oh thanks, thank you much. There's just things I can't
do anymore. Is just like most conversations, like thank god
this is pre recorded.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, no, we it's taken it. It's taken us forty
five minutes to get this much. Just so the listeners aware,
we're nobody's making sense.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, yeah, Why do people ask how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like I just did. I don't know. Fuck those people you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Said how are you doing? Like just stand for you know,
just standard like small talk, right, But then there are
those people who grab you by the wrist and pull
you toward them and say no, really no you do.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yes, this is something that like some dads do is
they want to have like real conversations like that at
the like jump that, like they just like see you
and they're like, no, mate, how you really doing? Man?
You know, I'm like, judge your body language and stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I think people like I think people like during COVID
were like, check it on your friends, and it's like, bitch,
don't check it on me. Okay, you're gonna make it worse.
You're bad for my mental health. The people who need
to check on me will.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh my god, do you know how long it takes
me to stand up. I have to breathe in from
my deepest core that is so stretched out I might
leaking blood cloths.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, it's like alien.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Oh my god, it's like alien, but I'm more hollow inside.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That should be a Mother's Day card, like forget this bullshit,
flowers whatever, be like thank you for being inside.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Just a picture pointing to the guy on the table
after the chest burster, just like you.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, and then it's like you're like you cut out
a picture of your face and put it on the
little alien.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Have you have either of you seen the new alien Romulus?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
No? But I saw the behind the scenes thing where
it was like a real guy and not CGI and
it was like the tall they.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Killed a guy. Oh no, no, you're not checking about
I thought that you met the person having the thing
come out of them. Uh yeah, no, they have a
person in a suit. But the connection of chest Burster
being like childbirth is made and remade and underlined in
(11:53):
that movie. They're like, but like, have you thought about it?
Like really but in some.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Way revolutionary and it's time Oh yeah, ye yeah, because
in this time they were still I think I talked
about this last podcast where like they were still putting
women against their wishes under general anesthesia for delivery right
and birth. Yeah, and birth was just like not a
thing that you talked about, discussed or showed in any
(12:19):
kind of quote unquote vulgar way.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
And back then aliens weren't allowed to open credit cards
on their own, so like that was really fun change.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, wow, they put them under general anesthesia and
we're just like, yeah, so you're quiet during childbirth or
something like stop.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Your screaming, broad We could hear you from where we're
smoking our cigar.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, well, it seems like your mouth might know its
way around a word. We're gonna we're gonna ask that you, right,
I cant stop saying it. I'm sorry, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
And now I can't stop doing it. I'm just putting
my mouth all around around.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
All right. We're gonna get to know you a little
bit better in the moments that our First, we're going
to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're
talking about. We're just gonna continue to talk about the debate,
the responses, what early, what the flash polls are saying. Also,
we are, of course, kind of talk about the new
season of Network TV show nine to one one, which
(13:25):
has a three part season premiere that I'm pretty excited about,
where bees form a tornado and attack Los Angeles. Oh
hell yes, yes, all of that plenty more. But first
are we do like to ask our guests what is
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Okay, I asked my search history if one piece of
cheese and a pack of slice mozzarella cheeses has mold
on it, does that make them all bad?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Great question that has come up in my mind many
times and that I have never I've never bothered to
google it. I will tell you that much. I depending
on how much I want the cheese, I will either
throw the one piece away or throw the whole thing away.
But it's totally dependent on like how bad I need
(14:18):
cheese in that mine.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I know I was gonna say, it's dependent on like
how much money is in your bank account at that Yeah,
it's like what I am able to throw a whole
pack of cheese away. It's like you don't care about
your bank account, your neighbor's bank accounts. No one cares.
But like if you're like, oh, I can just eat
around it on this slice, like I can just cut
(14:42):
out the bad part of this life, then you're like
you're down bad. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
So you're taking just the mold off the one slice?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah, I mean, I mean that's to that point, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I mean smell test obviously, right, we're using the smell test.
If all the cheese smell bad, we're.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Probably victor of asking if they're individually wrapped. And I'm sorry, Victory,
that's a different tax bracket than what we're talking about.
If your Jesus individually wrapped talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Craft singles, Victor, So now I understand.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
What craft we're talking about. If it's hot. It's melting
together into one big.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, typically I do the partner test where I
give it to my husband and watch him eat it
and just stare at him for a while and.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Just put him under a round the clock observation for
a couple of minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's what husbands are for. My dad would always eat
the leftover bad stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Up.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We'd be like, I don't want it. I don't want it, mom,
and he'd be like, okay, give it to.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Me, my baby.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So I had to be like super for sure, for sure, Yeah,
we can take it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
We can take a little bit of bout.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I will say, I haven't told it, especially for like bread,
the spores spread and you should toss it. But I'm
also a big fan of eating questionable stuff and then
wondering if I have IBS for the rest of my life.
So I'm a.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Huge Then you have something to blame your IBS on
besides just your.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Anxiety, hot girl, And that's why I have IBS and
not design. Just like, don't pay attention to the mold
in my friend.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That's right. I like that. We just rushed past. Like
did Google have a satisfying answer of on this question?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It actually said everything that you guys just said. It
said you can either discard the moldy slice.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It was thanks Google, I didn't know, Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I wasted gallons of water.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You're throwing away gallons of water to figure out if
you should throw away a slice of cheese.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You definitely don't need to throw away craft Like if
one gets moldy, you don't have to throw away the rest.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
We're not talking about craft singles here. We're talking about
whole foods, organic.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Singles. Oh okay, sorry, sorry, cheese I'm aware of You're like.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I don't understand what's other cheese?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay? I stand by this baby talk. Baby talk, it's
hugely underweighted.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Okay. I don't know how I felt about. I was like,
I was like, it's cute because you talk to your
babies and maybe your dogs or your cats or whatever,
and that's a cute bot. And then when you said
it to me, I was like, oh, no, like this
like this, I want to talk to everybody, like yes,
why do you sound like you're from New York when
(17:41):
you do?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I want to talk everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
My way I'm walking here.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Is a little bit like a South Park character is
supposed to be from New York.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but so cute went up babies from
New York.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'm just gonna move right along to what you're on
that one, I guess yeah, no, no, no, we all agree
that was underrated and great. What's what's ups overrated?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Being old and having children hugely. Please don't wait for
your life, Zara.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
You you're so young, Yeah, exactly. No, I'm not young
people twenties.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yet. I'm very out and clear about this because everyone
has been telling me. Everyone I know who's in their
thirties and their twenties keep saying to me. Yeah, I
was so stressed about my career choices. But then I
saw that you had a baby at forty three, and
I thought, I can wait. And I want to say
to you, don't wait, don't be crazy. Just decide to
(18:56):
get a surrogate. Just save up for that now. If
it's important to you, save the hundreds of thousands of
dollars of that or adopt, you should start that. Adoption
is a long process, none of it, none of it
that you undertake in the world of child rearing, other
than free sex babies for whoever gets to do that now.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
For whoever gets to do that now.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, you freat sex babies.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's gonna be a long ass sciences like something that
Trump would have said in the debate.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Transgender illegal alien surgeries. Free sex babies for whoever gets
to do that.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Wow, free sex babies for whoever wants to do that now,
and we want.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
And they will to them after none months.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I will say none of my family ever takes me
seriously fair, fair, totally fair. But my brother one time
when he was walking with my nephew like strapped to
his chest, he was doing like his daily walk or whatever,
and he was like, are you guy, I was thinking
about having kids because if I because he got a
house and then a child. He was like, I would
have done it backwards. I would have had the kid first.
(20:07):
I don't care where I was living. I would have
just had the kid. It's so tiring. I'm soaring And
ye had just kid when he was like thirty seven,
so like that's even really He's like, I would have
done it sooner. I'm so tired.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, and you know what else, because like I just
feel like in the United States people don't have like
real conversation anymore. We just have like cult culture conversation.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's just interesting. That is rat Yeah you thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
That point is so brat. It is about how we
only how we like cram pop culture into like important conversations.
Saying that is so brat. So what, Oh my god, Sorry,
I'm end of this episode.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I had the Daily Zeitgeist in general.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
This is the last episode of our podcast.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It's the last episode.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Sorry, this is the last episode of our podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
We can sell like Elmer Fudd. It's true, no, okay,
I had. We tried to have an IBF baby, which
is extremely expensive, tens of thousands of dollars expensive, and
it failed and we had my baby. But it's still like,
(21:35):
I know very clearly that it's the IVF hormones and
process that supported me and having my quote unquote free
sex baby. Like it definitely was.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That a free experience gets to do that.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Now, we tried for three years, nothing happened, and then after.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
If that with the sex, you guys got to come.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
A lot, right, It's true.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
That's really hard though, that's like a heart process.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I say all this just because I feel like in
our culture of CULTI conversation it's we never can't down
just what the fuck stuff costs and how you're gonna
mesibly do it, you know what I mean? Like, no
one's talking about retirement, even though it's like terrifying out there.
(22:26):
Nobody's talking about how.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You die of natural disasters because of climate change. That's
my retire What I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Saying is like how am I supposed to pay for
like solar and the down payment to a house in
California and my kids education because you know, hopefully they
don't get shot at school, and also figure out my
retirement all at the same, all at one time like
that you have to do that all at one time
when you have your babies in your late thirties and
(22:53):
early forties. Is a fun accounting experiment.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, it's tough out there.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I just really ruined everyone's day.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
What a blessings, the.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Great impression of the of the mom not listening at all,
just bringing bringing the vibes. What a miracle, What a
little blessing. Wow, I'm an immense debt. What a little blessing,
And what a blessing debt is because it's just kind
of you know, discomfort brings us into our own bodies yes,
(23:30):
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
back and we'll get together, get ourselves together, and we
will respond to the debate. Uh, and the fallout from
the debate in baby talk, we will be white black, white, black,
(24:00):
and we're black. And everybody watched the debate, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
To.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Watch it, rewatch. It didn't actually take in any Twitter commentary,
made my own judgments. Uh, and I'm still an undecided voter.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I keep saying this because the New York Times the headline.
So if you go to that, like conservative places like
the Drudge Report, their response was like, oh my god,
Trump totally tanked that. You go to the New York Times,
They're like, some may think Trump lost that debate. Undecided voters, Yeah,
(24:38):
undecided voters less certain. And then this yesterday morning, they
published this episode of their podcast that perfectly crystallized why
I think their obsession with undecided voters is so funny.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
They well, so, first of all, immediately after they had
their five they I have just these five people who
are undecided. One of them is undecided because they're not
paying attention to the election and keep being like, I
don't know, man, I'm like not into politics, leave me alone.
But yeah, that that is like one of their talking
(25:19):
heads about the election that they keep coming back.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
To, interesting, what a miracle?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
And then they have what a miracle? Such a blessing
even talking about. So they also drop this episode of
their podcast, uh the run Up where they literally go
to jd Vance's hometown uh and a watch party. You know,
they throw a watch party for two people who are undecided.
(25:48):
So they're like buying. They're rewarding these people who are
somehow still undecided about what they think about Donald Trump.
They're like bringing them snacks and food to like throwing
a little party for that. It's so beneficial to be
(26:10):
undecided somehow. Like you can hear them the person like
thanking the New York Times for the snacks they brought.
They're like, oh, you brought the red ones. I couldn't
find them. Thank you so much. I love them. And
then they interview them and the husband is like full
Trump voter and the woman is leaning Trump. And then
(26:32):
just like the interview, the person's finally like, okay, so
what is Trump's because she keeps being like, yeah, she
was good on this, she was good on this. I'm
a pro choice. Uh, and the person's like, Okay, so
what is Trump's biggest plus for you? And she's like, huh,
he does seem to want to better immigration. Oh wow,
(27:00):
that's not a big issue for me. But it's his
biggest talking point and it can't be denied and it
can't be ignored. So it's just like racism. It's just
like that. It's just all like he's willing to be
racist in public essentially, and they are, yeah, and they
are willing to, you know, go and throw a party
(27:22):
for these people so that they will like talk on
the record.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
But have you considered that he is running against someone
who is black and Indian? Have you considered that maybe
that's dissuading her. Maybe it's not whatever you just said.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
What if the White House smells like delicious.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Food right in the White House?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Again, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We're gonna take our spices.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So there's a Twitter account called Decoding fox News at
decoding fox News and they put together a fun little
real of first like a quick cut together of the
vibes before the debate where they're all just like, here's
what's gonna happen. Trump's about to fucking mop the floor
(28:12):
and then right after. So I just thought this was
kind of helpful.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I just love that they're so dumb that they would
think that, But like, I know that they have to
say it, but I do think some of them are
genuinely surprised every time he disappoints them, And that's really
funny to me, right, I.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Mean, it's all bizarre to me because he was very
disappointing the first time with.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Biden, just in general as a president.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, in general as a president, and then also with Biden,
he was already like ranting and out there and not
making any coherent sense because he was just like a racist,
ranting lunatic. But like now Republicans are, like, you know,
I really am seeing him differently, Like what are you
(29:01):
talking about? Like nothing actually has changed, It's just whatever
gigantic media conglomerate is going to acknowledge it is.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Now yeah yeah, yeah, And the New York Times is
doing their best to not acknowledge it by filtering everything
through the eyes of somebody who's planning to vote for Trump.
But Fox News is I thought this was just kind
of informative to see vibes before vibes after. So we'll
just skip around here a little bit.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
You say, debates maybe don't move the needle that much
in the big picture. This one seems like it's bigger.
But I think on the getting under his skin point,
that's really her only card to play. I didn't say
what his advice was, but it is so stunning. And
you saw that timeline piece seventy five days ago. We're
on this set watching him come out for that first
(29:52):
debate and the entire race changed.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
You're on set, all of us. The last time there
was going to be a big Jessie Waters. It's unmiked
for some reason.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
At first for the debate, I said, I don't think
this debate's going to change much.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Thanks, So, I don't know if you really want to
hear what I have to say. Give it a shot,
Give it a shot.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
This is going to be so unpredictable because both of
these people can self destruct. We've seen Trump blow himself up.
You've seen Kamala blow herself up and just wander around
and search for things to say and maybe land it.
Are they going to fact check Trump live? If you
had said ten years ago the Democrat nominee would support that,
I would have said you were cuckoo.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
I have a feeling that he'll come out of this
debate in about the same position with the public that
he that he holds going into it.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
So you have to assume that he won't be bellicos
and pugnacious.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
So you have to assume he won't be bell pugnacious.
And then they bring in Sean Hannity. Here comes Hannity say,
just laying down like this is what we think his
challenges are and how we think he'll do with those challenges.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
Tamala Harris tries to make him angry, not to get
angry and how to get angry, stays calm. I think
it could definitely be a big night for I think
that she will be able to rattle him in any way.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I would argue right now.
Speaker 10 (31:05):
The chance is zero points zero zero one percent.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
So I like that he's genuinely That's the reason they're
discussing that is because they are afraid he's going to
lose his shit.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Right, they're afraid. But Hannity is laying the odds that
she's able to do that at a pretty startling zero
point zero zero one percent that she will be able
to rattle him at all, and then post debate, Yeah,
people seem a little less confident and sure of how
(31:41):
that went for him.
Speaker 9 (31:42):
President Trump did take a lot of the bait that
she threw out in some of those answers.
Speaker 11 (31:46):
Have to be said that she was really never held
to the fire. She was not pressed by the moderators
on her past positions and how she got from a
very progressive, most progressive senate her to where she is now.
And that falls on ABC.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
So then we get to Breed Hume, who went in saying, like,
I think he's going to be fine. I don't see
this debate mattering much or that like I think they'll
They'll both be fine.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Make no mistake about it.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Trump had a bad night oop.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
He rose to debate repeatedly when she beated him, something
I'm sure his advisors had begged him not to do.
You know, in the first debate when Biden attacked him,
he just kept as cool and kept going. And in
this debate he rose to a debate. He and we
heard so many of the old grievances that that we
long thought that Trump had learned were not winners politically.
Speaker 10 (32:36):
The biggest loser in the debate, and we talked about
this pre debate is ABC.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Got reaction from Republican friends. The two common things were
train wreck and he needs this to end. I've never
heard Donald Trump not be definitive about a set of points.
He said, I have concepts of a plan.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So this is Fox News and they're like, yeah, I'm
getting text messages, so obviously they have their talking points
of like what they want to say. ABC News did
bad job. But then they're like, but people are using
words like train wreck and how do I make stop?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
For Trump, I loved the concept of a plan thing.
I love that so much because we can all relate
to that. Like that is very la, that is very like, yeah,
I have a concept of a plan. That's like what
Stuffian Stevens said when he was like, I'm gonna make
albums about every fifty states, you know what I mean,
all the fifty states. I have a concept of a
plan for it. Which I love that. That is so
(33:34):
so good.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It is so good. It also does seem to be
uh probably checking in with our undecided voters on the
New York Times, that does seem to be a point
that really stuck with people where they were like, because
like one of the arguments people have like given themselves
for like how they can justify voting for Trump was
that like, well, he's definitive, he's a decider. He fired
(33:56):
all those people on the TV, so he's like a
definitive person, and that line really fucked with people. The
other thing they really seemed to respond to in the
very small sample size that the New York Times uses
is like her going up and introducing herself, They're like, damn,
that was very assertive and cool of her.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
That's like, I think that's like an example of like
how people because we were talking about like who they're
going to side with whenever, however the wind blows or whatever,
but it's literally whoever looks more powerful, because that's what
like the Republicans are all about, is power. So it's
when going in they're like, oh, like he's going to
look more powerful whatever, that's all we care about, and
(34:38):
then coming out they're like, oh, she actually did look
more powerful, and like she's like laughing at him, but
like not too much or whatever. She had like those
lines about how eighty million people fired him, she did.
Like there were times where I was like, she is
kind of attacking him when she needs to talk more policy.
But she did come out looking stronger than him. Yeah,
(35:00):
especially when he was able to be so easily baited
about his rally numbers and all of that shit, Like
he just looked weak as hell, and they will let
it go. Yeah, and that's what rattles like Fox News.
They're like, I thought he's a winner. We don't like losers,
so that.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, I just like this moment where they're like Jesse Waters,
our number one person who has told us dringing out
of straws and eating soup is for beta males. What
what do you say? What say you, sir?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
I don't think the American people are watching and thinking
any of these people won.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I don't think the American people these people won.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
It's a good impression, but didn't have like a rhythm.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, so that was the general vibes is like somewhere
between God, that was a bad look for our guy,
and I don't think anybody watching. That didn't to anybody want.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Trump did come on to Fox News and he was
like he kept saying that all the polls that he
won like ninety to ten, eighty to twenty like what
he was like, we said, and then he was like,
we sent over poles to you and you can check them.
All of the polls we sent you basically said that
we won.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yes, So yeah, I want to get to that moment
where he just came out to do the spin room
stuff because and seemed to be just saying numbers at random.
But just in response to the I don't think any
American people saw that, I think anybody won. Washington Post
reported that a you gov poll showed Kamala one fifty
(36:34):
four to thirty one from people. CNN had her winning
sixty three to thirty seven percent. Like when you think
about how evenly divided, like it's a meme that, like,
you know, one of the sides seems to be free
puppies for everyone, the other side seems to be diarrhea forever,
(36:56):
and it's like fifty one to fifty percent. We have
it like and neck. It's just wild how close every
single presidential election is Obama over McCain, which is like
the last time there was anything described as a landslide,
Obama got fifty two percent of the vote, So like
that's a massive landslide. So just like those types of
(37:20):
numbers in response to the debate are pretty staggering that
it would be sixty three to thirty seven. Also, thirty
one percent of Trump supporters said he lost, wow.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Which is but they don't care, but they don't there
not that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
They're changing anything. Yeah, but that is, you know, I
think noteworthy. So it's just funny in comparison with the
moment after the debate where Trump came out and he
first of all, he's unmiked for some reason, and he's
just yelling at reporters. We had a great debate. I won, clearly.
(37:55):
I'm getting polling eighty six. Some are saying ninety two.
I've heard the number eighty two.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
That's like, how old we think he is.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I was wondering because they were in Philadelphia. I was
wondering if he was like looking at the last time,
like at the banners in the arena at the last
time the seventy six ers, like won anything was like
the eighties sports jokes self phoned for a self loathing
Sixers fan. But yeah, I don't know. I guess it
wasn't a total Kaisersos situation. There was. There was a
(38:29):
fair and balanced Newsmax snap poll of people who were
on Newsmax during the debate and ninety three percent of
them said he won.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
So I will say something that is kind of surprising
to me this election just even going into it at all,
is how underfunded and just not at all funded. A
lot of graphic design and artistic messaging is going into
the election.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
It is wild how little money that we were talking
on yesterday's episode, Andrew t was on and he was
talking about how it is mind boggling how bad Elon
Musk is at posting when he has enough money to
hot just hire away the entire Abbott Elementary writers room. Yeah,
(39:20):
to write every single one of his tweets for him,
like he could.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
He's a narcissist, He's not going to do yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I know, but like, yeah, the amount that they could
put into content, and yet they like the graphic design,
like you're saying, any of the writing.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Jason Derulo on TikTok where they had like remember how
he just like went from doing he the reason he
became like he had this big like leap again in
popularity was because he was like hiring camera crews to
make his thoughts.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, and then even on the nonprofit scale, like in
my world, where we have like, you know, groups of
nonprofits that come and like ask comedians to like put
together a thing or artists to put together a thing.
It's just not happening on the same scale, anywhere near
the same scale as previous elections. Plural.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah, they're like we got this, We've seen Trump just
off the handle.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
So clearly Kendrick sand because he doesn't appreciate ghost writers.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Well, I do wonder, like how much of it is
a has to do with the sort of romy Yusuff
and Susan Sarandon and a bunch of folks just came
out talking about the McCarthyism in Hollywood, and a lot
of these nonprofits are right now coping and managing Zionism,
(40:42):
and the sort of huge gag order on talking about
genocide at all in Gaza has really rattled the arts
in the nonprofit sector. And there's just folks that I
thought would be working right now, like would be funded
and would be putting out content and there'd be like
(41:03):
campaigning and conversation, and there's just like nothing.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Yeah, that's also why I'm not successful. It's because of
my not my ability back order. Yeah, totally totally free pub.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Please, yes, all right, let's take a quick break and
we'll come back and we'll talk about the bees, and
we're back. Are either of you fans of the network
(41:39):
TV show nine to one one?
Speaker 3 (41:41):
I am unfamiliar.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
I am undecided.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
All right, we're gonna we're gonna come over the New
York Times and I are gonna come over. We're gonna
make nachos for you. You can, you can just tell us
the ingredients that you're interested in, will make nachos for you.
We will watch the show with you, and actually, so
that's not entirely true. You will watch the show while
(42:10):
we watch you and take diligent notes of what you
are doing during during the watching, and then we will
feed the nachos to you while you kind of make
up your mind and just relax.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
We want to feed, okay, always, Let's get the fuck
out of here.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
It's like Michael Barbarow. So this is a trailer that
has been playing across various sporting events and TV shows
for the upcoming season of the TV show nine one one,
And I guess, I guess I'll just play it for
(42:53):
you guys. It's pretty pretty good, all right. It says
the average human cannot survive five hundred beast things. We
see a single bee joining a be tornadogency. Now, has
there ever been a more effective piece of ghost audio
(43:17):
than nine one one? What's your emergency for me?
Speaker 2 (43:22):
It's all just less effective. I just want to be
out there saying I really prefer ants.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Why didn't they make the case for bees over ants
as a villain for this episode of nine one one?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Really effective? Really powerful? Ants are really diligent.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Is there is something going on? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Go ahead, Jack, I just I was a little worried
that that wasn't enough information. And this is how I
took this in. First I saw the teaser, and up next,
I just want to give you the full thirty seconds
of an exclusive first look. Be Nato is coming to
nine one one on September twenty. Let's do it all right, Okay,
(44:08):
So what happened there?
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Collins?
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Nice call it?
Speaker 1 (44:13):
And by the way, what they can feel coming in
the air tonight in case you were wondering.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
I just want to say I would be behind it,
but I feel like if it was cicadas, we.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Might be a little bit more scary. And it is
incumbent on them to change my mind and give me
the details that will make me realize it should be
bees instead of cicadas. So that opens with a tractor
trailer on you know, a mac truck on Los Angeles Highway,
almost crushing a family, but then instead the boxes on
(44:45):
the backtip over and slight buzzing sound.
Speaker 6 (44:49):
The truck was calling twenty two million killer bees to
kill forty four.
Speaker 5 (44:57):
No, oh not the guy prepared fly away.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
That's right, he said it.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
He said the name of the movie.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
He did. He looked up at the sky, squinted and said,
it's like a.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
B Nato, the part where they go and they'll just
fly away. Not likely?
Speaker 1 (45:25):
What if they just fly away? Not likely?
Speaker 2 (45:28):
The Western fear of retaliation for colonialism.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
I was thinking about this, not likely.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
These are bent on revenge.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
There's savages and they didn't take the rule of the Sharia.
They would subscribe to Sharia law bringing it.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Can we look at the name of the show nine
to eleven eleven, and it's just a bunch of flying
things swarming towards a skyscraper in ju.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
I want the next one to be about that elephant
that like the woman who like was bad to the
elephant and then it killed her and then it stopped
her out at her funeral, Like, I want that to
be the next enemy. Is that fucking dope ass elephant?
Speaker 1 (46:17):
It's just animals.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Away from this really clear that bees are Muslim. Yeah,
and I'm ready to claim my brethren.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
Yes, I do think bees are Muslim. I do I
agree with you. I think they're very clean. They washed
themselves like with the dew of flowers like five times
a day, right, you.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Know, unfairly maligned in the mainstream media in the West.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Yeah, and make honey for bub blah blah.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Oh that's so true.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Really good at math.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yeah, that's that's the scene that we're not seeing here
is after they said they'll just fly away. No, they
wived and then the bees are like, listen, we've made
quite a lot of contributions, right, yeah, And they put
together a whole, you know, little mini trailer of all
the things that Muslim bees have contributed to the world.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
The FBI is always trying to get into their hives.
That's why they're called the FBI. They're trying to five seventy.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Two virgin drones.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
One queen, there are drums.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
They are sexless. Yeah, yeah, interesting, Wow, A lot to
think about here, folks. We're not here to make your
decision for you, Zara. We're just here to kind of
present the information, just like kind of vibe see where
your vibes are shifting. So we appreciate you me.

Oh hey, there, it's me Jack. You've caught me unwinding,
enjoying a large goblet of delicious eggnog, untangling my brain,
gaining five to fifteen pounds of eggnog while we unwind.
Here at Daily Zeitgeist, in addition to publishing our normal
year end episodes and Santa's University, etc. We've decided to
(00:25):
take the opportunity to count down the top ten episodes
of the year published over the next ten days. The
ten days that will be off Monday through Friday, two
weeks in a row. How Jack, how did you guys
determine the top ten episodes? They were all equally incredible. Well,
we used a little something called democracy. Ever heard of it?
(00:48):
Depending on when you listen to this episode, that might
not be such a rhetorical question. But anyways, we let
you vote on the most listened to episodes of the
year to see what you liked best. And you're about
to hear your answers. Just ten bangers right in a row.
We've got a trending episode in the mix. We got
a lot of good ones and at number one, well,
(01:11):
let's just say you'll find out, especially if this is
the number one episode we're putting this same bumper at
the start of all ten, so we hope you enjoy it.
We hope you enjoyed listening to this year of TDZ
as much as we enjoyed making it. And we will
see you all in twenty twenty five. We hope you
have a RESTful holiday.

You're the podcasters are like so it's like so old school.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's like it's like circa Obama era started a podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's in the shape of a little ball and it's
got little legs on it. I think it's actually pre
dates my time.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And does it looks like it looks like what you
thought Xenon would use you know what I mean? Yeah,
it's like a prop from Xenon. Girl of the twenty
first century.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Like one of the thirty movies that came out after
Star Wars, where they were like, we could do that
too with just stuff we have around the house.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, sorry, I love I don't know how to tell
your listeners this, but Xenon Girl of the twenty first
Century is better than Star Wars. Come in my DM, bitches.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Star Wars doesn't have that many fans actually, and the
ones that does have very chill, so chill, very chill
and reasoned circumspect. I would say the number one word
that comes to mind for me with Star Wars fans circumspect,
good priorities, everything's in its right place. Hello the Internet,

So good to have you back.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I like obsessed that, you know, Lupita Nonga.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I talk with her like crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I'm like, I bet she just smells so nice. In
love with her. I'm obsessed with the fact that she
got a cat because of a quiet place after having
to have cat therapy because she was scared of cats,
and then she filmed that movie and then she adopted
a cat, and now she posts like photo shoots with
a cat for its birthday, and I'm like, obsessed, Oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's just phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You just rattled that off like everybody knows. That is
that something everybody knows?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
If you heard me on the last episode, I'm obsessed
with Moodang, the pygmy hippo from Asia, and I'm obsessed
with Lapida Nonga and her cat. And that's the only
two things on my timeline.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Actually, she has many superpowers. One of them is just
you would tell her your name pronunciation and then it's
just there right right away, right away. Yeah, and just
like so fast with every I mean, she's an Academy
Award winning actress. Of course you can retain mountains and
mountains of information. But it's just like so smooth, so professional.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Knows its way around a word or two.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
But that was the creepiest way to say that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Still is that weird? Why do we keep talking about
her mouth? From that?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm still recovering.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I really apologize. Jesus Christ was that.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It's a beautiful mouth you got there seems to know it's.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
A way around. That is a compliment I like to
give people. Is it not good? I mean I could
just you can maybe you can be honest with me.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Here, give it to really macho man and see, God.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Damn, your mouth knows it's when.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I've read that's like a skirt that really knows her
way around all fill in the blank.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Mm hmmm, yeah, well he didn't say skirt.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, to be fair, Zara, that I understand why you
said that. But Brian has been instructed to edit out
all the times when I say skirt, so it won't
be in the final cut.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I mean, that's the way to do it. Just erase
any history a skirt.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Jesus Christ. Well, I apologize for that, but I am
thrilled to have you back on the show. Out. Yeah,
how's motherhood treating you? Oh my god, that's all we
need to hear. I think that says it all.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But that means if you're not an exhausted parent, then
like you're a bad parent, you know what I mean.
So that means you're a great mom.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Oh thanks, thank you much. There's just things I can't
do anymore. Is just like most conversations, like thank god
this is pre recorded.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, no, we it's taken it. It's taken us forty
five minutes to get this much. Just so the listeners aware,
we're nobody's making sense.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, yeah, Why do people ask how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like I just did. I don't know. Fuck those people you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Said how are you doing? Like just stand for you know,
just standard like small talk, right, But then there are
those people who grab you by the wrist and pull
you toward them and say no, really no you do.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yes, this is something that like some dads do is
they want to have like real conversations like that at
the like jump that, like they just like see you
and they're like, no, mate, how you really doing? Man?
You know, I'm like, judge your body language and stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I think people like I think people like during COVID
were like, check it on your friends, and it's like, bitch,
don't check it on me. Okay, you're gonna make it worse.
You're bad for my mental health. The people who need
to check on me will.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh my god, do you know how long it takes
me to stand up. I have to breathe in from
my deepest core that is so stretched out I might
leaking blood cloths.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, it's like alien.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Oh my god, it's like alien, but I'm more hollow inside.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That should be a Mother's Day card, like forget this bullshit,
flowers whatever, be like thank you for being inside.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Just a picture pointing to the guy on the table
after the chest burster, just like you.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, and then it's like you're like you cut out
a picture of your face and put it on the
little alien.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Have you have either of you seen the new alien Romulus?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
No? But I saw the behind the scenes thing where
it was like a real guy and not CGI and
it was like the tall they.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Killed a guy. Oh no, no, you're not checking about
I thought that you met the person having the thing
come out of them. Uh yeah, no, they have a
person in a suit. But the connection of chest Burster
being like childbirth is made and remade and underlined in
(11:53):
that movie. They're like, but like, have you thought about it?
Like really but in some.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Way revolutionary and it's time Oh yeah, ye yeah, because
in this time they were still I think I talked
about this last podcast where like they were still putting
women against their wishes under general anesthesia for delivery right
and birth. Yeah, and birth was just like not a
thing that you talked about, discussed or showed in any
(12:19):
kind of quote unquote vulgar way.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
And back then aliens weren't allowed to open credit cards
on their own, so like that was really fun change.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, wow, they put them under general anesthesia and
we're just like, yeah, so you're quiet during childbirth or
something like stop.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Your screaming, broad We could hear you from where we're
smoking our cigar.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, well, it seems like your mouth might know its
way around a word. We're gonna we're gonna ask that you, right,
I cant stop saying it. I'm sorry, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
And now I can't stop doing it. I'm just putting
my mouth all around around.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
All right. We're gonna get to know you a little
bit better in the moments that our First, we're going
to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're
talking about. We're just gonna continue to talk about the debate,
the responses, what early, what the flash polls are saying. Also,
we are, of course, kind of talk about the new
season of Network TV show nine to one one, which
(13:25):
has a three part season premiere that I'm pretty excited about,
where bees form a tornado and attack Los Angeles. Oh
hell yes, yes, all of that plenty more. But first
are we do like to ask our guests what is
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Okay, I asked my search history if one piece of
cheese and a pack of slice mozzarella cheeses has mold
on it, does that make them all bad?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Great question that has come up in my mind many
times and that I have never I've never bothered to
google it. I will tell you that much. I depending
on how much I want the cheese, I will either
throw the one piece away or throw the whole thing away.
But it's totally dependent on like how bad I need
(14:18):
cheese in that mine.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I know I was gonna say, it's dependent on like
how much money is in your bank account at that Yeah,
it's like what I am able to throw a whole
pack of cheese away. It's like you don't care about
your bank account, your neighbor's bank accounts. No one cares.
But like if you're like, oh, I can just eat
around it on this slice, like I can just cut
(14:42):
out the bad part of this life, then you're like
you're down bad. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
So you're taking just the mold off the one slice?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah, I mean, I mean that's to that point, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I mean smell test obviously, right, we're using the smell test.
If all the cheese smell bad, we're.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Probably victor of asking if they're individually wrapped. And I'm sorry, Victory,
that's a different tax bracket than what we're talking about.
If your Jesus individually wrapped talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Craft singles, Victor, So now I understand.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
What craft we're talking about. If it's hot. It's melting
together into one big.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, typically I do the partner test where I
give it to my husband and watch him eat it
and just stare at him for a while and.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Just put him under a round the clock observation for
a couple of minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's what husbands are for. My dad would always eat
the leftover bad stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Up.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We'd be like, I don't want it. I don't want it, mom,
and he'd be like, okay, give it to.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Me, my baby.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So I had to be like super for sure, for sure, Yeah,
we can take it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
We can take a little bit of bout.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I will say, I haven't told it, especially for like bread,
the spores spread and you should toss it. But I'm
also a big fan of eating questionable stuff and then
wondering if I have IBS for the rest of my life.
So I'm a.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Huge Then you have something to blame your IBS on
besides just your.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Anxiety, hot girl, And that's why I have IBS and
not design. Just like, don't pay attention to the mold
in my friend.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That's right. I like that. We just rushed past. Like
did Google have a satisfying answer of on this question?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It actually said everything that you guys just said. It
said you can either discard the moldy slice.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It was thanks Google, I didn't know, Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I wasted gallons of water.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You're throwing away gallons of water to figure out if
you should throw away a slice of cheese.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You definitely don't need to throw away craft Like if
one gets moldy, you don't have to throw away the rest.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
We're not talking about craft singles here. We're talking about
whole foods, organic.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Singles. Oh okay, sorry, sorry, cheese I'm aware of You're like.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I don't understand what's other cheese?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay? I stand by this baby talk. Baby talk, it's
hugely underweighted.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Okay. I don't know how I felt about. I was like,
I was like, it's cute because you talk to your
babies and maybe your dogs or your cats or whatever,
and that's a cute bot. And then when you said
it to me, I was like, oh, no, like this
like this, I want to talk to everybody, like yes,
why do you sound like you're from New York when
(17:41):
you do?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I want to talk everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
My way I'm walking here.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Is a little bit like a South Park character is
supposed to be from New York.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but so cute went up babies from
New York.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'm just gonna move right along to what you're on
that one, I guess yeah, no, no, no, we all agree
that was underrated and great. What's what's ups overrated?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Being old and having children hugely. Please don't wait for
your life, Zara.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
You you're so young, Yeah, exactly. No, I'm not young
people twenties.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yet. I'm very out and clear about this because everyone
has been telling me. Everyone I know who's in their
thirties and their twenties keep saying to me. Yeah, I
was so stressed about my career choices. But then I
saw that you had a baby at forty three, and
I thought, I can wait. And I want to say
to you, don't wait, don't be crazy. Just decide to
(18:56):
get a surrogate. Just save up for that now. If
it's important to you, save the hundreds of thousands of
dollars of that or adopt, you should start that. Adoption
is a long process, none of it, none of it
that you undertake in the world of child rearing, other
than free sex babies for whoever gets to do that now.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
For whoever gets to do that now.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, you freat sex babies.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's gonna be a long ass sciences like something that
Trump would have said in the debate.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Transgender illegal alien surgeries. Free sex babies for whoever gets
to do that.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Wow, free sex babies for whoever wants to do that now,
and we want.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
And they will to them after none months.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I will say none of my family ever takes me
seriously fair, fair, totally fair. But my brother one time
when he was walking with my nephew like strapped to
his chest, he was doing like his daily walk or whatever,
and he was like, are you guy, I was thinking
about having kids because if I because he got a
house and then a child. He was like, I would
have done it backwards. I would have had the kid first.
(20:07):
I don't care where I was living. I would have
just had the kid. It's so tiring. I'm soaring And
ye had just kid when he was like thirty seven,
so like that's even really He's like, I would have
done it sooner. I'm so tired.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, and you know what else, because like I just
feel like in the United States people don't have like
real conversation anymore. We just have like cult culture conversation.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's just interesting. That is rat Yeah you thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
That point is so brat. It is about how we
only how we like cram pop culture into like important conversations.
Saying that is so brat. So what, Oh my god, Sorry,
I'm end of this episode.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I had the Daily Zeitgeist in general.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
This is the last episode of our podcast.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It's the last episode.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Sorry, this is the last episode of our podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
We can sell like Elmer Fudd. It's true, no, okay,
I had. We tried to have an IBF baby, which
is extremely expensive, tens of thousands of dollars expensive, and
it failed and we had my baby. But it's still like,
(21:35):
I know very clearly that it's the IVF hormones and
process that supported me and having my quote unquote free
sex baby. Like it definitely was.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That a free experience gets to do that.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Now, we tried for three years, nothing happened, and then after.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
If that with the sex, you guys got to come.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
A lot, right, It's true.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
That's really hard though, that's like a heart process.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I say all this just because I feel like in
our culture of CULTI conversation it's we never can't down
just what the fuck stuff costs and how you're gonna
mesibly do it, you know what I mean? Like, no
one's talking about retirement, even though it's like terrifying out there.
(22:26):
Nobody's talking about how.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You die of natural disasters because of climate change. That's
my retire What I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Saying is like how am I supposed to pay for
like solar and the down payment to a house in
California and my kids education because you know, hopefully they
don't get shot at school, and also figure out my
retirement all at the same, all at one time like
that you have to do that all at one time
when you have your babies in your late thirties and
(22:53):
early forties. Is a fun accounting experiment.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, it's tough out there.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I just really ruined everyone's day.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
What a blessings, the.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Great impression of the of the mom not listening at all,
just bringing bringing the vibes. What a miracle, What a
little blessing. Wow, I'm an immense debt. What a little blessing,
And what a blessing debt is because it's just kind
of you know, discomfort brings us into our own bodies yes,
(23:30):
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
back and we'll get together, get ourselves together, and we
will respond to the debate. Uh, and the fallout from
the debate in baby talk, we will be white black, white, black,
(24:00):
and we're black. And everybody watched the debate, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
To.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Watch it, rewatch. It didn't actually take in any Twitter commentary,
made my own judgments. Uh, and I'm still an undecided voter.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I keep saying this because the New York Times the headline.
So if you go to that, like conservative places like
the Drudge Report, their response was like, oh my god,
Trump totally tanked that. You go to the New York Times,
They're like, some may think Trump lost that debate. Undecided voters, Yeah,
(24:38):
undecided voters less certain. And then this yesterday morning, they
published this episode of their podcast that perfectly crystallized why
I think their obsession with undecided voters is so funny.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
They well, so, first of all, immediately after they had
their five they I have just these five people who
are undecided. One of them is undecided because they're not
paying attention to the election and keep being like, I
don't know, man, I'm like not into politics, leave me alone.
But yeah, that that is like one of their talking
(25:19):
heads about the election that they keep coming back.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
To, interesting, what a miracle?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
And then they have what a miracle? Such a blessing
even talking about. So they also drop this episode of
their podcast, uh the run Up where they literally go
to jd Vance's hometown uh and a watch party. You know,
they throw a watch party for two people who are undecided.
(25:48):
So they're like buying. They're rewarding these people who are
somehow still undecided about what they think about Donald Trump.
They're like bringing them snacks and food to like throwing
a little party for that. It's so beneficial to be
(26:10):
undecided somehow. Like you can hear them the person like
thanking the New York Times for the snacks they brought.
They're like, oh, you brought the red ones. I couldn't
find them. Thank you so much. I love them. And
then they interview them and the husband is like full
Trump voter and the woman is leaning Trump. And then
(26:32):
just like the interview, the person's finally like, okay, so
what is Trump's because she keeps being like, yeah, she
was good on this, she was good on this. I'm
a pro choice. Uh, and the person's like, Okay, so
what is Trump's biggest plus for you? And she's like, huh,
he does seem to want to better immigration. Oh wow,
(27:00):
that's not a big issue for me. But it's his
biggest talking point and it can't be denied and it
can't be ignored. So it's just like racism. It's just
like that. It's just all like he's willing to be
racist in public essentially, and they are, yeah, and they
are willing to, you know, go and throw a party
(27:22):
for these people so that they will like talk on
the record.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
But have you considered that he is running against someone
who is black and Indian? Have you considered that maybe
that's dissuading her. Maybe it's not whatever you just said.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
What if the White House smells like delicious.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Food right in the White House?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Again, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We're gonna take our spices.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So there's a Twitter account called Decoding fox News at
decoding fox News and they put together a fun little
real of first like a quick cut together of the
vibes before the debate where they're all just like, here's
what's gonna happen. Trump's about to fucking mop the floor
(28:12):
and then right after. So I just thought this was
kind of helpful.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I just love that they're so dumb that they would
think that, But like, I know that they have to
say it, but I do think some of them are
genuinely surprised every time he disappoints them, And that's really
funny to me, right, I.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Mean, it's all bizarre to me because he was very
disappointing the first time with.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Biden, just in general as a president.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, in general as a president, and then also with Biden,
he was already like ranting and out there and not
making any coherent sense because he was just like a racist,
ranting lunatic. But like now Republicans are, like, you know,
I really am seeing him differently, Like what are you
(29:01):
talking about? Like nothing actually has changed, It's just whatever
gigantic media conglomerate is going to acknowledge it is.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Now yeah yeah, yeah, And the New York Times is
doing their best to not acknowledge it by filtering everything
through the eyes of somebody who's planning to vote for Trump.
But Fox News is I thought this was just kind
of informative to see vibes before vibes after. So we'll
just skip around here a little bit.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
You say, debates maybe don't move the needle that much
in the big picture. This one seems like it's bigger.
But I think on the getting under his skin point,
that's really her only card to play. I didn't say
what his advice was, but it is so stunning. And
you saw that timeline piece seventy five days ago. We're
on this set watching him come out for that first
(29:52):
debate and the entire race changed.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
You're on set, all of us. The last time there
was going to be a big Jessie Waters. It's unmiked
for some reason.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
At first for the debate, I said, I don't think
this debate's going to change much.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Thanks, So, I don't know if you really want to
hear what I have to say. Give it a shot,
Give it a shot.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
This is going to be so unpredictable because both of
these people can self destruct. We've seen Trump blow himself up.
You've seen Kamala blow herself up and just wander around
and search for things to say and maybe land it.
Are they going to fact check Trump live? If you
had said ten years ago the Democrat nominee would support that,
I would have said you were cuckoo.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
I have a feeling that he'll come out of this
debate in about the same position with the public that
he that he holds going into it.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
So you have to assume that he won't be bellicos
and pugnacious.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
So you have to assume he won't be bell pugnacious.
And then they bring in Sean Hannity. Here comes Hannity say,
just laying down like this is what we think his
challenges are and how we think he'll do with those challenges.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
Tamala Harris tries to make him angry, not to get
angry and how to get angry, stays calm. I think
it could definitely be a big night for I think
that she will be able to rattle him in any way.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I would argue right now.
Speaker 10 (31:05):
The chance is zero points zero zero one percent.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
So I like that he's genuinely That's the reason they're
discussing that is because they are afraid he's going to
lose his shit.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Right, they're afraid. But Hannity is laying the odds that
she's able to do that at a pretty startling zero
point zero zero one percent that she will be able
to rattle him at all, and then post debate, Yeah,
people seem a little less confident and sure of how
(31:41):
that went for him.
Speaker 9 (31:42):
President Trump did take a lot of the bait that
she threw out in some of those answers.
Speaker 11 (31:46):
Have to be said that she was really never held
to the fire. She was not pressed by the moderators
on her past positions and how she got from a
very progressive, most progressive senate her to where she is now.
And that falls on ABC.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
So then we get to Breed Hume, who went in saying, like,
I think he's going to be fine. I don't see
this debate mattering much or that like I think they'll
They'll both be fine.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Make no mistake about it.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Trump had a bad night oop.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
He rose to debate repeatedly when she beated him, something
I'm sure his advisors had begged him not to do.
You know, in the first debate when Biden attacked him,
he just kept as cool and kept going. And in
this debate he rose to a debate. He and we
heard so many of the old grievances that that we
long thought that Trump had learned were not winners politically.
Speaker 10 (32:36):
The biggest loser in the debate, and we talked about
this pre debate is ABC.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Got reaction from Republican friends. The two common things were
train wreck and he needs this to end. I've never
heard Donald Trump not be definitive about a set of points.
He said, I have concepts of a plan.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So this is Fox News and they're like, yeah, I'm
getting text messages, so obviously they have their talking points
of like what they want to say. ABC News did
bad job. But then they're like, but people are using
words like train wreck and how do I make stop?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
For Trump, I loved the concept of a plan thing.
I love that so much because we can all relate
to that. Like that is very la, that is very like, yeah,
I have a concept of a plan. That's like what
Stuffian Stevens said when he was like, I'm gonna make
albums about every fifty states, you know what I mean,
all the fifty states. I have a concept of a
plan for it. Which I love that. That is so
(33:34):
so good.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It is so good. It also does seem to be
uh probably checking in with our undecided voters on the
New York Times, that does seem to be a point
that really stuck with people where they were like, because
like one of the arguments people have like given themselves
for like how they can justify voting for Trump was
that like, well, he's definitive, he's a decider. He fired
(33:56):
all those people on the TV, so he's like a
definitive person, and that line really fucked with people. The
other thing they really seemed to respond to in the
very small sample size that the New York Times uses
is like her going up and introducing herself, They're like, damn,
that was very assertive and cool of her.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
That's like, I think that's like an example of like
how people because we were talking about like who they're
going to side with whenever, however the wind blows or whatever,
but it's literally whoever looks more powerful, because that's what
like the Republicans are all about, is power. So it's
when going in they're like, oh, like he's going to
look more powerful whatever, that's all we care about, and
(34:38):
then coming out they're like, oh, she actually did look
more powerful, and like she's like laughing at him, but
like not too much or whatever. She had like those
lines about how eighty million people fired him, she did.
Like there were times where I was like, she is
kind of attacking him when she needs to talk more policy.
But she did come out looking stronger than him. Yeah,
(35:00):
especially when he was able to be so easily baited
about his rally numbers and all of that shit, Like
he just looked weak as hell, and they will let
it go. Yeah, and that's what rattles like Fox News.
They're like, I thought he's a winner. We don't like losers,
so that.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, I just like this moment where they're like Jesse Waters,
our number one person who has told us dringing out
of straws and eating soup is for beta males. What
what do you say? What say you, sir?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
I don't think the American people are watching and thinking
any of these people won.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I don't think the American people these people won.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
It's a good impression, but didn't have like a rhythm.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, so that was the general vibes is like somewhere
between God, that was a bad look for our guy,
and I don't think anybody watching. That didn't to anybody want.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Trump did come on to Fox News and he was
like he kept saying that all the polls that he
won like ninety to ten, eighty to twenty like what
he was like, we said, and then he was like,
we sent over poles to you and you can check them.
All of the polls we sent you basically said that
we won.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yes, So yeah, I want to get to that moment
where he just came out to do the spin room
stuff because and seemed to be just saying numbers at random.
But just in response to the I don't think any
American people saw that, I think anybody won. Washington Post
reported that a you gov poll showed Kamala one fifty
(36:34):
four to thirty one from people. CNN had her winning
sixty three to thirty seven percent. Like when you think
about how evenly divided, like it's a meme that, like,
you know, one of the sides seems to be free
puppies for everyone, the other side seems to be diarrhea forever,
(36:56):
and it's like fifty one to fifty percent. We have
it like and neck. It's just wild how close every
single presidential election is Obama over McCain, which is like
the last time there was anything described as a landslide,
Obama got fifty two percent of the vote, So like
that's a massive landslide. So just like those types of
(37:20):
numbers in response to the debate are pretty staggering that
it would be sixty three to thirty seven. Also, thirty
one percent of Trump supporters said he lost, wow.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Which is but they don't care, but they don't there
not that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
They're changing anything. Yeah, but that is, you know, I
think noteworthy. So it's just funny in comparison with the
moment after the debate where Trump came out and he
first of all, he's unmiked for some reason, and he's
just yelling at reporters. We had a great debate. I won, clearly.
(37:55):
I'm getting polling eighty six. Some are saying ninety two.
I've heard the number eighty two.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
That's like, how old we think he is.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I was wondering because they were in Philadelphia. I was
wondering if he was like looking at the last time,
like at the banners in the arena at the last
time the seventy six ers, like won anything was like
the eighties sports jokes self phoned for a self loathing
Sixers fan. But yeah, I don't know. I guess it
wasn't a total Kaisersos situation. There was. There was a
(38:29):
fair and balanced Newsmax snap poll of people who were
on Newsmax during the debate and ninety three percent of
them said he won.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
So I will say something that is kind of surprising
to me this election just even going into it at all,
is how underfunded and just not at all funded. A
lot of graphic design and artistic messaging is going into
the election.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
It is wild how little money that we were talking
on yesterday's episode, Andrew t was on and he was
talking about how it is mind boggling how bad Elon
Musk is at posting when he has enough money to
hot just hire away the entire Abbott Elementary writers room. Yeah,
(39:20):
to write every single one of his tweets for him,
like he could.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
He's a narcissist, He's not going to do yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I know, but like, yeah, the amount that they could
put into content, and yet they like the graphic design,
like you're saying, any of the writing.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Jason Derulo on TikTok where they had like remember how
he just like went from doing he the reason he
became like he had this big like leap again in
popularity was because he was like hiring camera crews to
make his thoughts.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, and then even on the nonprofit scale, like in
my world, where we have like, you know, groups of
nonprofits that come and like ask comedians to like put
together a thing or artists to put together a thing.
It's just not happening on the same scale, anywhere near
the same scale as previous elections. Plural.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah, they're like we got this, We've seen Trump just
off the handle.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
So clearly Kendrick sand because he doesn't appreciate ghost writers.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Well, I do wonder, like how much of it is
a has to do with the sort of romy Yusuff
and Susan Sarandon and a bunch of folks just came
out talking about the McCarthyism in Hollywood, and a lot
of these nonprofits are right now coping and managing Zionism,
(40:42):
and the sort of huge gag order on talking about
genocide at all in Gaza has really rattled the arts
in the nonprofit sector. And there's just folks that I
thought would be working right now, like would be funded
and would be putting out content and there'd be like
(41:03):
campaigning and conversation, and there's just like nothing.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Yeah, that's also why I'm not successful. It's because of
my not my ability back order. Yeah, totally totally free pub.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Please, yes, all right, let's take a quick break and
we'll come back and we'll talk about the bees, and
we're back. Are either of you fans of the network
(41:39):
TV show nine to one one?
Speaker 3 (41:41):
I am unfamiliar.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
I am undecided.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
All right, we're gonna we're gonna come over the New
York Times and I are gonna come over. We're gonna
make nachos for you. You can, you can just tell us
the ingredients that you're interested in, will make nachos for you.
We will watch the show with you, and actually, so
that's not entirely true. You will watch the show while
(42:10):
we watch you and take diligent notes of what you
are doing during during the watching, and then we will
feed the nachos to you while you kind of make
up your mind and just relax.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
We want to feed, okay, always, Let's get the fuck
out of here.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
It's like Michael Barbarow. So this is a trailer that
has been playing across various sporting events and TV shows
for the upcoming season of the TV show nine one one,
And I guess, I guess I'll just play it for
(42:53):
you guys. It's pretty pretty good, all right. It says
the average human cannot survive five hundred beast things. We
see a single bee joining a be tornadogency. Now, has
there ever been a more effective piece of ghost audio
(43:17):
than nine one one? What's your emergency for me?
Speaker 2 (43:22):
It's all just less effective. I just want to be
out there saying I really prefer ants.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Why didn't they make the case for bees over ants
as a villain for this episode of nine one one?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Really effective? Really powerful? Ants are really diligent.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Is there is something going on? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Go ahead, Jack, I just I was a little worried
that that wasn't enough information. And this is how I
took this in. First I saw the teaser, and up next,
I just want to give you the full thirty seconds
of an exclusive first look. Be Nato is coming to
nine one one on September twenty. Let's do it all right, Okay,
(44:08):
So what happened there?
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Collins?
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Nice call it?
Speaker 1 (44:13):
And by the way, what they can feel coming in
the air tonight in case you were wondering.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
I just want to say I would be behind it,
but I feel like if it was cicadas, we.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Might be a little bit more scary. And it is
incumbent on them to change my mind and give me
the details that will make me realize it should be
bees instead of cicadas. So that opens with a tractor
trailer on you know, a mac truck on Los Angeles Highway,
almost crushing a family, but then instead the boxes on
(44:45):
the backtip over and slight buzzing sound.
Speaker 6 (44:49):
The truck was calling twenty two million killer bees to
kill forty four.
Speaker 5 (44:57):
No, oh not the guy prepared fly away.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
That's right, he said it.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
He said the name of the movie.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
He did. He looked up at the sky, squinted and said,
it's like a.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
B Nato, the part where they go and they'll just
fly away. Not likely?
Speaker 1 (45:25):
What if they just fly away? Not likely?
Speaker 2 (45:28):
The Western fear of retaliation for colonialism.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
I was thinking about this, not likely.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
These are bent on revenge.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
There's savages and they didn't take the rule of the Sharia.
They would subscribe to Sharia law bringing it.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Can we look at the name of the show nine
to eleven eleven, and it's just a bunch of flying
things swarming towards a skyscraper in ju.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
I want the next one to be about that elephant
that like the woman who like was bad to the
elephant and then it killed her and then it stopped
her out at her funeral, Like, I want that to
be the next enemy. Is that fucking dope ass elephant?
Speaker 1 (46:17):
It's just animals.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Away from this really clear that bees are Muslim. Yeah,
and I'm ready to claim my brethren.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
Yes, I do think bees are Muslim. I do I
agree with you. I think they're very clean. They washed
themselves like with the dew of flowers like five times
a day, right, you.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Know, unfairly maligned in the mainstream media in the West.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Yeah, and make honey for bub blah blah.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Oh that's so true.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Really good at math.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yeah, that's that's the scene that we're not seeing here
is after they said they'll just fly away. No, they
wived and then the bees are like, listen, we've made
quite a lot of contributions, right, yeah, And they put
together a whole, you know, little mini trailer of all
the things that Muslim bees have contributed to the world.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
The FBI is always trying to get into their hives.
That's why they're called the FBI. They're trying to five seventy.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Two virgin drones.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
One queen, there are drums.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
They are sexless. Yeah, yeah, interesting, Wow, A lot to
think about here, folks. We're not here to make your
decision for you, Zara. We're just here to kind of
present the information, just like kind of vibe see where
your vibes are shifting. So we appreciate you me.
