Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh These are some of our favorite segments
from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
last stravaganza. Uhh. So, without further ado, here is the
(00:22):
Weekly Zeitgeist, Jamie. What is something that is underrated? Something
underrated I think is reading the comments. Everyone always says,
don't read the comments, but sometimes I dip my toe
into the comments and I get this rush. I was
awake three hours earlier than I was expecting to be
because I just sat up in a cold sweat because
(00:45):
I had read comments the previous night. I was like, whoa,
I'm fully activated and I walked for seven miles. So underrated.
Um No, I knew where I was going and then
I just ended up somewhere and like and I wasn't.
That's how we met. That sounds healthy. Read what happened? What? What? What? Comments? Under? What? Okay?
(01:11):
So I do a show on Super Dilucttion uh and
never read the comments. But no, but sometimes sometimes on
Facebook especially they're bad, and sometimes it will just like
show up in my feed because I like subscribe to
the channel from my Facebook. So this one just showed up,
and then I fell deep into a hot or not
debate about me, and it was I mean, some points
(01:35):
were made, some valid points, Some people were nice, some
people think I should see a dentist. It's like there's
a lot going on and and uh, you know I
I normally wouldn't dip in, but I did this time,
and you know what, regret it? Okay, yeah, wait so
you interacted? Are you just used right through? Oh? I
love interacting. Yeah, I'm just like, thank you. Valid point.
(01:56):
If anyone wants to give me dental insurance, I'd be
fucking tired. And if there's any entis in the comments, yeah,
if so, very hurtful, but like I will show up.
So yeah, reading comments underrated. Uh. I would say never
to read the comments, just based on my own experience. Uh,
(02:16):
it is a horrifying experience. My most popular video on YouTube.
So the more popular piece of content or whatever gets,
the more likely it is to reach an audience that
is not your audience basically, uh, and the audience that
doesn't think you're hot, right exactly. Um So I had
a video very early on on the show. I used
(02:38):
to do, uh this spittake where it was a good premise,
you know what, just videos of celebrities while they were
unmistakably high or drunk, and it was a lot of fun.
But you know, I wasn't My performance wasn't great. It
was like the fifth video I'd ever done. And the
comments were so mean. It was like the I think
(03:00):
that one of the top comments was I just want
to punch you on the fucking throat, bro, And everyone
was like, yep, yes, it's a debasing experience being on
the internet more than being a frequent podcast guest. I oh,
that's true. I know it's worse. It's definitely for sure worse.
(03:21):
And then it's weird because you'll see comments about your
friends sometimes and it's like, wow, now I know this
mean thing someone thought about you? Do you know? I
can't tell you and I can't bring it up without
looking just shady. Right, can you believe what someone said
about you? Right? I'm like, people say that you have
Cheeto fingers, like it's like they're Cheeto fingers. Yeah, I can't.
I can't. I cannot. Further, I cannot like have like
(03:46):
they're not be like I don't know, but Jamie's one friend,
Remember they have Cheetos for fingers just like actual cheetos.
I feel like I'm like calling them out now, my
friend who has cheetos. They are delicious. Though, um, I
have seen I have seen people like any creative people
(04:07):
who are out there. Uh. I would recommend not reading
the comments as much as possible. I've seen talented writers
kind of lose their way, at least temporarily because of
comments because like you know, that voice gets in their
head and then they like open their next column arguing
with a voice in their head that represents the comments
(04:28):
for for like a page, and it's just like that's
it's just a terrible way to live. You want to
live from your inside and exude outwardly. You don't want
external things to begin affecting you internally, and I think
you begin to betray yourself because if you live by
the comments and you get gassed up when people pick
you up, you're like, oh, yes, I'm feeling good, you
will also die just as bad from the back. Yeah
(04:49):
you got your hot days and you're not days. Believe
believing yourself there, Well, I would, I would, I guess,
uh clarify reading the comments. I wouldn't do it on purpose,
but if you come across them by accident when you're
just innocently scrolling through your own damn feed, just China.
I was literally looking for people who were sad that
the Patriots lost to to make myself feel good, because
(05:11):
I like when people from my homestay are upset and
then I instant karma came across the hot or not discussion.
So when you see it, make the best, make the best.
You found one of us. By the way, I am
a Patriots fan of self one really. Yeah. The super
Bowl was yesterday and yeah, so uh hey, you had
(05:40):
a good party, had a good party. We had a
good party over at my house. It was a lot
of fun. Part because I gave whatever Jamie uh whatever.
Did know you were missed, But it was a lot
of fun. Uh And another good game. I feel like
(06:03):
there's been a pretty great run of Super Bowls for
the past I don't know a handful of years they're
super Bowls with that feature. The Patriots have been really
good games the past three times, but they lost this time,
as I knew they would. Nick Foles was great and
won't be the starting quarterback for the Eagles next year. Um,
(06:27):
and there are rumors that this would be the last
year of the Patriots dynasty. So think of the boys.
Guys want that. But yeah, the rumors that Belichick might
leave because Brady made them trade away, uh Jimmy Aroppolo,
(06:49):
not Janine garoffalo as I just wanted to say, bigger laugh.
But also they could make Tom happy. Uh, so we'll
see about that. Ratings were down. I know people who
skipped it because they didn't want to watch a sport
(07:11):
that is, you know, complicit and giving people c t E.
And then I know of a bunch of people who
skipped it because, uh, they feel like, you know, NFL
players were disrespecting the troops. Um. And then you have
people who don't watch it because they feel like the
NFL is disrespecting those people's right to protest right exactly.
That sounds like a little conflicting because like I just
(07:33):
don't generally care about the NFL, and like this year
kind of made solidified why I don't really watch. So
I don't know, it's like it was hard to kick
the tradition of doing something on Super Bowl Sunday. I
think that's what I found myself in that place. Maybe
we need to create a new tradition wat Super Bowl Sunday,
everybody get together and just watches you know, the Simpsons
(07:54):
and you can still eat and drink or whatever, but
just don't want to bowl. Just don't watch the Super Bowl. Yeah.
I I had a great time. My co host Kyleen
and I went to a canteena last night totally empty.
We got like half price margarita is because no one
was there and they were just like, oh, did you
watch the game. We're like nope. They're like, are you eighteen?
And we were like yes, And then we got half
(08:14):
price margit because well Caylin just Calyn was like I'm
thirty one. I was like I'm eighteen, all right, half
price for you. Not the old lady um. But yeah,
I mean there was a hit during the game. Cooks,
a Patriots receiver caught a ball and then did like
this weird like cartoon character like circle and then ran
(08:37):
and like just that blind side. Yeah, just completely knocked out.
And uh. That was a point where everybody, I think
laughed at first because it looked silly, and then we're like, oh, wow,
he could be dead, like that's legitimate, Like he did
the the same sort of hand thing that Uma Thurman
(08:58):
does actually in that car crash bit sort of like
a Fencers fencing response. Yeah, where your hand just like
kind of goes up because you're so knocked out, you
just kind of go back to fetal position. Um. Yeah,
So that was the game. Congratulations to the City of
philadelth held with quick update. I did just send Steven
(09:18):
Swalsaws Zaslow a request for fifty dollars on the cash app,
and we'll see what he says. See how We'll see
how swoller that bank account I put the the caption
is making me sad. So let's see if he pays
me fifty dollars. S is just like a word for steroids, right,
(09:40):
are Iver saying? It's like I guess when people add
sauce then like yo, I'm swag sauce or something. I
don't know if that's what he means or he just
he makes his like steroids with his ragu And all
I know is it's time to make Steven Swalsaws Zaslows
life hell until he gives me fifty dollars that I
feel sure of. I'm I'm in. I'm in like a
(10:02):
kill bill mood. Yeah, Well, let's wait we'll see, we'll
spend at the end. I have a feeling we'll have
some kind of outcome. Yeah, for sure. Uh justin Timberlake
was the halftime show. Uh, A lot of fun in
the room while watching it. Uh, Lacy Moseley, Uh having
a great time. Yeah, it was having a great time. Yeah,
(10:23):
some great trees having a great time. Videos of them
dancing on Instagram just check out. It was very fun
in the room because I feel like everyone was like
just you know, having a good time and there was music.
Trees had a good story of one half of the
room not loving it and the other half of the
room family edgirl. Um, but yeah, it was I don't
(10:46):
know that apparently there were sound issues, which I couldn't
tell him I watched because afterwards I was like, I
don't know if I actually really watched it. I was
just kind of like having fun at the time and
like they're just having to be Justin Timberlake sound on,
and then like, yeah, when you watched it back, like
the sound was bad and it was actually really underwhelming,
like when you really think about when you compare to
(11:07):
like the halftime show, like Beyonce or like even Katie
Perry We've talked about that when our lady Gaga, this
was like really it was a bummer. It was not
bum and I and I I have I have liked
justin Timber like like there, I have nothing against him.
I mean I do have things against him, but I
liked what future sex love sounds forever. I don't know,
(11:31):
are we done? Are we done with him? I don't
know if we're done with me. He will never be
done with him. People will never be done with him.
But yeah, I mean, look, he still did Janet already.
I was still pissed that Janet did not pop out
and bring balance to the universe and pull his penis
out right, But you know, there's still time for that,
and he still hasn't, you know, addressed that whole thing.
But aside from that, the Prince cover the duet he
(11:52):
did was also weird too, because like I would die
for you, Like you want to have a song with
the title die in it when you're talking about someone
who like historically did not like him, Like why yeah
they So I didn't realize they had an actual beef,
Like when Prince was alive that uh, you know, Prince
at an after show performance, like not an official concert,
(12:14):
but like just after the Emmy's performance or something. Uh.
For the Grammy's performance was like, by the way for
people saying they're bringing Sexy back, Sexy never left, and
justin Timberlake was like, funk that nobody says Sexy never
left about me, and then started, uh a little small
sauce about it. Yeah, I got real swell sauce about it. Uh,
(12:37):
and like had a lyric and um the song give
It to Me, where he was like, now, as Sexy
never left, then why is everybody on my ship? Don't
hate on me just because you didn't come up with it. Um.
Well that was about that was about Prince and then
and then uh he made fun of Prince being short
(12:57):
at the two thousand seven Golden Globes Prince one for
the song of the Heart from Happy Feet. Uh, and
he wasn't at the ceremony, so Timberlake, who was just
presenting the award, was like, I guess I'll accept it
on his behalf, but like ducked down to like a
tiny stance at the microphone to be like get it
because Prince is short. J T. Don't funk around, bro,
(13:20):
you you will not win that. You will not a
dead Prince will beat you every time, every single time. Yeah, exactly.
But even now posthumously, you can't win against this man.
Because the funny thing is, you know, he was saying
like there might be a hologram and ship, and everyone's like,
do not do that, and then they just did like
a whack as big sheet or whatever. But it's funny
(13:41):
because even like Prince has been on record, even when
he was alive, saying like holograph like holographic depictions of
dead people is quote demonic, right, So he's like, I
want nothing to do with that. Yeah, So I guess
the sheet is cool. But it was again, I mean,
the sheet was a reference back to his performed Prince's
Halftime Show, remember that, where like his silhouette of him
(14:03):
just like shredding the guitar with that was actually one
of the great halftime shows. There was a reference to
that in the first concert I ever saw. Obviously I
didn't know at the time, but I saw. I saw
Cisco open for the back Street Boys on September two
thousand and one story Boston, Massachusetts, and Cisco did the
(14:26):
sheet thing and like paid, you know, homage to Prince
for a bunch of you know, nine year old girls. Yeah, yeah,
and he's sang about thongs to the children and we
loved it. My mom was like, let's get this guy's autograph.
Did Yeah, there's nothing more pre nine eleven than a
Cisco Backstreet Boys. It's truly the down to the wire.
(14:51):
I would there's no amount of money would pay who
just be in the world in that moment, speaking to
the white trashiness of it all to my mom and I.
We made signs for the Battery Boys. And this is
when one of the Battery Boys had just gotten out
of rehab, and so we made a sign that was
just like three days sober a j and like held
(15:11):
it up and good for Is he still alive? We
don't know. No, I think he is. How we have
issues too know how he was the sensitive one he
was okay, I'm just making sure, but maybe maybe he
was troubled. Um I was getting him and how he
mixed up? Yeah, it is a bad boy. How is
your live? How ISAs informed us that? How we update?
(15:37):
How we alive? Alive? Sober? We don't know. I wanted
to ask you, what is do you do you have
any predictions things you think we're not aware that we
should be taken seriously right now that maybe we should be. Well,
I have a whole idea of where our next three
wars are going to happen, or those are our next
(15:57):
three military interventions. Trump has a long history of when
people bring up human rights, He's just like, whatever, we
abuse human rights too. So then whenever Trump the Trump
administration comes out and UH is concerned about human rights,
it's always a red flag. The three places they've talked
about being concerned about human rights are Venezuela, South Sudan,
(16:20):
and the Democratic Republic of Congo. And Rex Tillerson used
to be the CEO of Exxon in Venezuela at a
time when they nationalized all their oil and basically took
that company from him. He went to court and sued
and like got a settlement that wasn't what he was
looking for, and he's had a grudge ever since. Now
he's our Secretary of State. And around April of last
(16:43):
year there started these stories started coming out about Trump
being concerned about human rights in Venezuela, and I'm like, oh, yeah, well,
we're gonna go to war in Venezuela pretty soon. And
sure enough. Just this last week, Rex Tillerson, he's kind
of floating the idea that, hey, maybe a coup happened
in Venezuela, And once any representative of the US government
(17:08):
starts talking that way, it's bad times for that country.
Like we're either going to go in or someone's gonna
go in, and we're going to give them a lot
of support. And I think it's all tied to natural
resources in oil. I mean, I I know that Venezuela
has a lot of oil, right, that was sort of uh,
the whole issue is that Hugo Chadas like nationalized their
(17:30):
oil and we didn't like that because they sold us
a lot of oil. Yeah, I get the sense they
knew they had more oil than we realized before we
knew it, because we didn't find out until two thousand
fourteen that they have actually the biggest reserves of oil
in the world, even more than any country in the
Middle East hashtag oil boys. And in two thousand fifteen,
(17:53):
not long after we found that out, Obama all of
a sudden issued this executive order calling them an enemy
of a State. And basically what that means is any
country that does trade deals with US cannot trade with Venezuela.
And what it did is it blocked Japan from doing
this big gold deal with Venezuela that would have bailed
their economy out. But once we put that executive order
(18:15):
in place, Japan couldn't do anything. So we've been kind
of waging If you look into I like it would
take an hour to go through it all, but if
you look into it, we've been kind of waging economic
war with Venezuela for a minute, for almost three years now,
and it's been pretty devastating. I mean, we uh backet cracked.
We have this section, the Personal Experience section of the
site where we would just like interview people with interesting
(18:37):
or extreme life experiences. And a couple of the craziest
stories we ever heard were from people in Venezuela who like,
there was a guy who, uh it had gotten so
bad and hunger had gotten so bad, like the all
the grocery store shelves were just barren, and uh, he
was having to fight off looterers with a crossbow because
(18:59):
he had a mango tree in his yard and they
were all coming for the mangoes and that was the
only way he was feeding his family. Yeah, it's inflation
is the thing we hear about all the time, and
it's like, it's been a long time since we've had
really high inflation in this country, so it's hard to
wrap your head around. But in Venezuela, inflation got so
(19:20):
bad that basically, if you were making the equivalent of
a hundred thousand dollars in the United States, overnight, you
were making like ten thousand dollars a year, Like your
money just became worthless overnight. And it's not our fault,
but the things Venezuela did that made it happen, we've
kind of seized on and are exacerbating it. Two, I
(19:44):
think go in and uh put a government in place
that's a little more friendly friendly to our needs. Yeah,
I mean because the human rights abuses that we hear
about in North Korea and Iran, right, and those in
the State the Union that right in the State of Union. Uh,
those are the places that get all the attention as
you know that watch out America is going to go
(20:06):
to war there, and you're saying that these three other
countries are also right quietly being There's a CNN article
if you just search NICKI Haley Trump, South Sudan, and
you'll find this opinion piece she wrote for CNN, which
is weird because that's like they're they're Boogeyman. Basically, that's
all where all fake news emanates from. But Nicki Haley
(20:27):
was writing this opinion piece about why we need to
go to South Sudan in the Democratic Republic of Congo
and fix these human rights abuses. And if you look,
you can actually pull up a list of conflicts happening
in Africa right now. And yes, those places there are
bad things happening, but they're way way way down the
list in terms of countries that need humanitarian help. But
(20:49):
what they are both are they're both really resource rich
countries that China is working with to set up a
basically set up their own oil market would not be
backed by the US dollar as all oil markets are
right now, and it would basically cut us out of
the foreign oil market, which would destroy our economy. And
(21:11):
even like it's such a high level thing, they can't, like,
the government's never going to come out and go, Okay,
here's why we need to go to war in South Sudan.
Like people are just gonna be like, shut up, we
don't need that oil, but we kind of do like
it depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to
have in the United States, And sometimes I feel like
(21:31):
Trump is just the best way to sell these crazy
military excursions we're going to have to go on, because
then you can just be like, he's crazy, we don't
know what he's doing. But with someone like Hillary Clinton
in place and be like, well, no, she's not crazy,
we have to explain that a little more. Yeah, I mean,
(21:53):
isn't it possible that some of these military campaigns will
just happen without us noticing? Like I feel like a
lot of uh, you know, military action was happening in
Africa that we didn't know about until a handful of
troops were killed over there, and then people were like, oh,
look at look at that. Yeah. When that, I think
(22:13):
a lot of people were like, whoa, why are we
in Africa? Though, It's interesting. We just see like before
all of our meddling South America previously was to like
curb communism, and now it's like, well, now we gotta
get we gotta get the jump on China sort of
not sucking up the whole oil and futures and ships.
So it's it's interesting we see this whole pattern play
out with it's sort of the same tactics and things
like that, but now with just different stakes. Yeah, it
(22:35):
almost feels like an alien invasion kind of thing where
they don't want to tell us that that's what we're
fine because if we lose, it's gonna be a whole
different country. If we lose that economics standing in the world,
it's going to be a radically different place to live.
And I don't know if Americans are ready to hear that. Yeah, right,
Like I'd rather hear there was an asteroid coming than
(22:58):
I might not be able to afford a blue right
player if a new one comes out next right, Yeah, no,
just kill me now, exactly right away. Yeah, if you
told him you had like a number one in McDonald's
would not be seventy eight dollars. Yeah, it's not a
world I want to live in. All right, We are
going to take a quick break. We'll be right back
with more, and we're back. We wanted to talk about
(23:28):
some people who uh made a bunch of money off
of cryptocurrency and went down to Puerto Rico. It's basically
like if somebody wrote a satire of late stage capitalism,
Like they couldn't do any better than this. So all
these dudes who are like in their thirties and then
there's like one guy in his fifties. Uh, all like
(23:51):
decided they were going to take all their earnings off
of cryptocurrency. And like they have, you know, billions of
dollars of cryptocurrency some of them, and uh they're moving
the money from the Caymans, which is what you use
as a tax shelter, before they're moving it over to
Puerto Rico. And this is something we've talked about before,
(24:12):
a thing called disaster capitalism, where you know, capitalists come
in after a disaster and basically like privatize things. And
we've talked about how uh there are people who are
privatizing Puerto Rico's uh their power company, National Power Power Grid. Um.
By the way, still don't have power in Puerto Rico. Um.
(24:37):
But uh so these guys have decided they're going to
create a crypto utopia where it's like this society that's
run by this guy. Um his name is Brock Pierce.
He's sort of the leader Topia movement. Former former child
(24:58):
actor who has been food for fraud multiple times. Like
clearly a con man. But let's let's listen to the
description of these guys, because this New York Times reporter
went down there. Uh so the leader of the port
Topia movement emerged, Brock Pierce, wearing drop crutch capri pants,
a black vest that almost hit his knees, and a
(25:19):
large black felt hat. Uh. The there's other guys. One
guy's wearing two tone aviators and another guy is wearing
a smartphone on a necklace. So they're just like fucking
two tone aviators. Uh. The ones that like, yeah, oh wow,
(25:41):
so's yeah he's a spook for sure, and he's got
a cell phone necklace. Cellphone, Yeah, smartphone on a necklace.
I like how they simultaneously straddle nerdy dad with like
out of touch too, who just like went to a
hip store by clothes or Yeah, it's just they're they're
transported from Silicon Valley. But um there they say things
like we're benevolent capitalists building a benevolent economy. Um. Mr
(26:06):
Pierce got into digital money early as a professional gamer,
mining and trading gold in the video game World of Warcraft,
an effort funded partly by Steven Steve Mann. Uh. And
he's a controversial figure. Like I said, he has been
sued for fraud among other things. Oh also I just
had to pull up his acting career. He played young
(26:27):
Gordon Bombay in The Mighty Ducks. So just think about that.
Here's also Luke Davenport in First Kid. Is that the
one with Simbad? I don't know, yep, it is that.
I remember. Simbad is like secret service agent. Anyway, that's
a whole other thing. Luke Davenport, Is he the first Kid?
I wonder, President Davenport, your son is out of hand? Yeah,
(26:48):
he is. He is. He is the kid from First Kids,
the first Kid. Of course he's got government connections. Mm hmm.
So here's a quote from them. Uh. He said he
is aiming to create a charitable token called one with
one billion dollars of his own money. And now now
(27:08):
get ready to have your fucking mind blown. It's one.
Now he's like you won something or and he says,
if you take the my out of money, you're left
with one. Don't that way. And if you look at
one means you're on e. Then somebody about him immediately
(27:37):
he's tuned into a higher calling, said Kai Nyeguard, scion
of the Canadian clothing company Nyeguard and a crypto investor quote,
He's beyond money this Christopher guest. It's amazing that guy's
starting a cult for Oh no, they've they've taken over
(27:57):
a like abandoned hotel and they're all living in a
hotel that like was just a building that happened to
not be touched by the hurricane. So of course, exactly here. Now,
this is maybe maybe the most telling quote. Next we
(28:17):
hear from a gentleman named Halsey Minor who's like a
gamer taxbox. He's the founder of the news site c net,
which is very useful website. Uh, and he is moving
his new blockchain company, video Coin from the Cayman Islands
Puerto Rico this winter, Uh, he says, referring to, uh,
(28:39):
what's happened here. He says, what's happened here is a
perfect storm, referring to a Hurricane Maria and the investment
interest that has followed. He added, while it was really
bad for the people of Puerto Rico, in the long term,
it's a godsend if people look past that. So, man,
perfect storm is such an awful phrase to use in
that context. Yeah, And then bad for the people of
(29:02):
Puerto Rico. But when you think about it, cryptocurrency is
just look past that, this flip past the humanity of
it all. Yeah, and think about the sick gass video
coin baby, Right, Yeah, Katrina was bad, but we'll have
so many casinos there someday. Um Man, cryptopy. I thought
it was a place for cryps to hang out. I
didn't realize that we're in cryptopy. Yeah, we have to
(29:26):
get into Uh this Quincy Jones interview. Uh he went
as the headline on our dock here, says he went in.
He goes on many topics. Yeah, so Miles, you're gonna
just take us. I'm just gonna moment. So, yeah, he's
got a he's about turn eighty five and Netflix documents
(29:47):
blah blah blah, it doesn't matter. Documentary coming, Yes, he's
in this article, says he's in the midst of victory
ahead of his turning eighty five in March, and Netflix documentary,
CBS special hosted by Oprah that are all on the horizon.
And we all know Quincy Jones, prolific music producer, has
worked with the best, and he has a right to
have an opinion on many things because he has he
(30:07):
has seen it all. He even played you know, jazz
with a fucking Benito Mussolini's son. Okay, so that's even
in this article. But let me just go through some
of the hotter takes in here. So, uh, they go
through the usual stuff, they get to Michael Jackson and
they so this is him on Michael Jackson produced Thriller, right, Yes,
a little little out album. Yes, uh, some people may
(30:29):
have heard of it. Uh. So he says about Michael Jackson.
I hate to get into this publicly, but Michael stole
a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs
like Donna, Summer, State of Independence, Ambilla, Jean the Nose,
Don't lie man. He was as Macavillian as they come.
And he says, they go on. He sort of explains
a little more about how he's like always kind of
taking sections of song and making his own, which is
fine because everything is Yeah. They yeah, it sounds like
(30:55):
it's the same notes, like he said, but it's definitely
sped up. And I still think Michael jack and it's
a genius for remembering that baseline and being like, oh,
I'll take that, slow it down, put it here, and
make the greatest pop song. And then he said what
about The interview asked, what about outside of music? What's
misunderstood about Michael? I used to kill him about the
plastic surgery man. He'd always justified and say it was
(31:16):
because of some disease he had. That was bullshit. And
then they're like, well, how much were his problems wrapped
up with fame? You mean the way he looked. He
had a problem with his looks because his father told
him he was ugly and abuse him. What do you expect?
And there's like, yeah, you know, a strange juxtaposition. How
Michael's music was joyous but his life seems sadder and
more odd as time goes by, and quench he says, yes,
(31:38):
but at the end, Michael's problem was proper fall and
that problem affects everyone. Doesn't matter if you're famous. Big
Farmer making Oxycon and all that ship is a serious thing.
I was around the White House for eight years with
the Clinton's and I learned about how much influence Big
Farmer has. It's no joke. What's your sign man? And
the interviews like, uh, pisces me too, It's a great sign. Uh.
(31:58):
And then if he goes on, he just mentioned the Clinton's.
Who are your friends friends of yours? Why is there
still such visceral dislike of them? What are other people
not seeing in Hillary for example, that you see And
he goes it's because there's a side of her when
you keep secrets. Day backfired. Interview goes on, like what secrets? Man?
This is something else I shouldn't be talking about. Interview
(32:19):
goes on, well, you seem to know a lot. I
know too much. Man, what's something you wish you didn't know?
Who killed Kennedy? And then interview goes on who did it? Man?
Chicago mobster Sam jan Connor? Man, the connection was there
between Sinatra and the mafia and Kennedy. Joe Kennedy. Man,
he was a bad man. He came to Frank to
(32:40):
have him talk to Gian conn about getting votes in
Illinois and they're like, yes, we've heard this theory before
that the mob helped win Illinois for Kennedy nine sixty.
And he goes on, man, we shouldn't be talking about
this publicly. Where are you from? And he's like Toronto.
So that's that's how they sort of interviews going like
he's got a lot of interesting things, then just drop
(33:00):
an earth shatter what's uh so? Then they go on
a little bit later, then they kind of get to
more current events, like sort of the me too movement.
He says, Well, we've obviously been learning more lately about
how just how corrosive the entertainment industry can be for women.
(33:21):
As someone who's worked in the business at the highest
levels for so many years, do all the recent revelations
come as a surprise. No, man, women had to put
up with that fucked up ship. Women and brothers, we're
both dealing with the glass ceiling. But what about the
alleged behavior of a friend of yours like Bill Cosby?
Is it hard to square what he's been accused of
with the person you know? It was all of them,
Brett Ratner, Weinstein, Weinstein, Man, he's a job motherfucker, wouldn't
(33:44):
return my five, calls a bully return my five? I
don't know, and he's a bully, called him a jive motherfucker,
Like this is dolomite or something. What about Cosby? Though?
What about it? Where the allegations a surprise to you? Man?
We can't talk about this in public. Man, I'm surprised.
He didn't pivot. That was to be like, hey man,
what does your heir that what happens? So then they
(34:06):
go into then they start talking about racism, like you know,
the this modern age and like white nationalism that's popping up.
And the interview asked what stirred everything up? Is it
all about Trump? Is um uh? And Quincy replies, it's Trump,
an uneducated rednecks man. Trump is just telling them what
they want to hear. I used to hang out with him.
He's a crazy motherfucker, limited mentally, a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I
(34:27):
can't stand him. I used to date a Vanka, you
know what the dating vodka? So obviously his daughter yes,
His daughter says, wait, really yes, sir. Twelve years ago
Tommy Hill figure who was working with my daughter Cadada, said,
h quote, Ivanka wants to have dinner with you. I said,
no problem. She's a fine motherfucker. She had the most
(34:50):
beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Wrong, father,
thoughts is a fucking fool man. What do you think?
That day was like, oh my god, I just have
to take a thing that when I still have the process,
it would be like just how he has like, you know,
(35:12):
I should data Vanka twelve years ago, like two at
the time, like in her early twenties at that time. One, No,
she's I think something like right, so twelve years ago
she would have been twenty five. Twelve years ago for
eighty five year old would have been seventy three. Yeah,
she would and three at the time if they dated.
(35:34):
I don't know. Look, I don't know what happened with that,
but that's just so weird that she was even like,
we need more old people to dinner with you. So
also entirely possible that she was just like I had
a business proposal for him maybe, and he was like,
she's trying to get it. Has He's like kind of
(35:55):
a prolific father, you know what I mean, because Dada
and I guess women like your children like four other women.
So you know, he gets out there and so anyway,
they move on to the Beatles ready for the fuego take.
So he says he talks about Paul that he said,
how was it like when you first heard rock? And
he said something like, man, just sounds like white boys
(36:15):
trying to rhythm and blues. He's like, you know, I
knew Paul McCartney, who was twenty one, and then the
guy says, what were your first impressions of the Beatles?
That they were the worst musicians in the world. They
were no playing. Motherfucker's Paul was the worst bass player
I ever heard, and Ringo don't even talk about it.
I remember once we were in the studio with George
Martin and Ringo had taken three hours for a four
bar thing. He was trying to fix on the song.
(36:36):
He couldn't get it. We said, mate, why don't you
get some logger in lines, some shepherd's pie and take
an hour and a half and relax a little bit.
So he did, and we called Ronnie Varrell, a jazz drummer.
Ronnie came in for fifteen minutes, and toward Ringo comes
back and says, George, can you play it back for
me one more time? So George did. Ringo says that
didn't sound so bad, and I said, yeah, motherfucker, because
(36:58):
it ain't you great guy though, yo. Pivots, the pivots
in this are like a la jahwan yea. His footwork
on these pivots so they're unbelow the way. He can
just sort of diffuse something so crazy, great question. Genals
(37:21):
just became my favorite person. Man. Then there's one where
he talks about Marlon Brando. This is just a funny
thing where he says, you know, Marlon Brando and I
uhoul go chat dancing, and he could dance his ass off.
He was the most charming motherfucker you ever met. He
fucked anything, anything. He fuck a mailbox, James Baldwin, Richard
pryor Marvin Gay. He slept with him. How do you
know that? Come on, man, he did not give a funk.
(37:43):
You like Brazilian music. He said he fucked Marvin. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know if he was names Baldwin.
I don't know if he's saying that James Baldwin, fu like,
are they are? J was Baldin, Richard prior Marvin Gay?
Roll in that in that camp anything like that, they
(38:04):
would suck anything or that. It's hard to know when
you're not hearing it. But it's just so funny that
he's like, wait, the guy even like he slept with them,
and he's like, come on, man, you can give those
pivots are just yet the next level. So I mean,
that's that's just a portion of it. He still he
talks about playing with like I said Muslini's son the
one good thing, which I'm not I can't fully like
(38:26):
read the quote back, but like he talks about like
creatively what was like sort of his X factor, and
he's like, you know, do you hear any innovation and music?
He's like, no, man, because a lot of these people
are chasing like rock vodka and fat Farm okay, clearly
taking shots of P Diddy and uh and also about
ten years late fat farm, fat Farm and I love
baby fat and apple bottom jeans. But he was he
(38:49):
was saying like, you know, the second you chase money,
God leaves the room and you're not gonna make that
fire music, which is I mean, which I think is
a really good piece of advice for anyone never thought
about money when he was making Yeah the set, can
you consider an outside audience and you were just not
making art that's true to you? Yeah, you've lost, which
was to me the most useful thing, uh that I saw.
He also talked about like the persons like would you
(39:11):
ever date someone your your age? And he was like, pah, yeah,
I read something like maybe a few days ago. So
this is before this interview, or maybe it was something
from this interview that he has twenty two girlfriends and
they all know about each other. Is that right? Is
that true? Yeah, that that's something that happened. Maybe that
(39:31):
was like a Playboy interview. He's getting interviewed a lot,
but uh, yeah, there was. He he talked about how
he had twenty two girlfriends all over the world, like
one in each country that he visits. There's a he
kind of makes references that because the guy just says, uh,
the interview asked, Okay, let me ask you a left
field question in your memoir. There's a section where you
(39:53):
talk about being a dog. And he says, that's not
what I was thinking of, but yeah, that's in there.
I was thinking. Just goes on to this other thing
like here. I think thought he was alluding to that. Yeah,
you want to hear about the fucking right about No, No,
I read your Playboy interview. We we got that. But yeah,
and he talks about how like he's he's never dated
(40:15):
a woman. I think they asked like what his expiration
date is and he says like thirties or or something.
Stuck in a time warp. Yes, said Cindy Lapper almost
ruined We Are the World with her loud ass Jewelry
had a blowout with her, just to show you hit
this man's ego. Though. One of the questions was what's
something you've worked on that should have been bigger? And
(40:37):
he answers, what the funk are you talking about? I've
never had that problem. They were all big. So he's
like LaVar Ball mixed with I mean, this dude, he's
I mean, but he earned it and Trump were super talented. Yeah,
I mean, he didn't earn to be problematic, but he
definitely earns the right to talk ship because you know,
nobody's on the quincy level. I guess like he waited
(40:58):
for a long time to be this unfiltered. Right when
you're when you're an octogenarian, you know, as we've seen it,
you know, you begin to let loose a little bit,
stop giving any fox at all. So guys, yes, please
check out that. It's it's a wonderful read. And the
interview is from what magazine it was in Vulture? Vulture.
(41:19):
Damn great interview. All Right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back. Let's let's talk
Spirit Airlines, you guys, because they're Spirit Airlines, because we uh.
(41:46):
Super producer Anajosnier brought a terrifying story to us from
the realms of Spirit Airlines the nether world. Uh, Spirit Airlines.
When you just walk on there, it's just like logic
turns upside down and just like terrible ship starts to happen.
It actually costs an extra two dollars to look at
(42:07):
their website. Um. They had a young woman who was
on Spirit Airlines who brought a hamster with her as
her emotional support pet. Uh. You know, I'm not a
huge believer in certain emotional support pets like I think,
(42:27):
I think dogs, sure, but hamster, you know, if it
was working for her, it was working for her. But um,
rather than being like, all right, you have to keep
that like under under wraps or whatever, they made her
apparently flush the hamster down the toilet. And honestly, that's
(42:47):
probably a better experience than writing on Spirit there rights
like thank you, this is dope. I mean, well that
the thing is yes. This woman she called twice it
was like, yo, I have a emotional support hamster. Can
I bring pebbles on board? And they said twice yes.
Then she pulled up and they're like, not, fam, you
can't bring that rat on here. And I guess she
(43:10):
alleges that they said, well, why don't you just flush
it down the toilet because you can't bring this sht
on and she tried to call a friend to pick
it up. Spirit Airlines their statement was obviously was like,
we made the mistake by clearly someone told her she
could bring it on when they couldn't, because that's not
our policies. But they're like, but they really deny that
they said anyone suggested to flush it down the tip.
I can't imagine there was some like let me get
(43:31):
my manager in the managers like well you have two options,
you know. I think like I could have maybe someone
like was off hitted, like I don't know, just sucking
about the toilet, you know, like that. But like I
just cannot imagine that that's what they did. But I
do love like her being like okay, fine, I'll do
it and then being like, well that's the spirit and
(43:53):
or she refused to call it a spirit animal and
so that's why she wasn't emotionally reporting. She was like
because the d S a does allow them that technically
can be considered an emotional support animal. But man, I
just don't like flying with people when they bring emotional
support Pats. My girlfriend we have a dog, and she's like,
(44:14):
she likes to bring it with us on airplanes. I'm like,
so my Japanese side does not want to make a
scene or like cause inconveniences. So like when the dogs
like barking, I'm like, oh god, don't just and we
brought on the airport. It took a mad ship in
the airport. It was a moment the dog literally started
arches back to ship. I lifted him up and bare
hand caught the ship before it got all over the
(44:35):
airport floor. And then I just slammed dunks in the
toilet in the garbage can and walked embarrassedly into the
bathroom when people looked at it, yea, So I don't know.
Most they stressed me out, but you know that's me.
I feel. I feel like you need to know your
dog is gonna be able to handle it, because I've
been on a couple of flights recently where I've seen
some chill as mother dog that can just handle it,
and you gotta and you gotta know that maybe just
(44:56):
like some CBD edibles before they like get chill out
their anxiety. But like my dog would not feel to
my dog, even though she's like a little like a
little girl who likes to be around me, like she
would just be so like like just like super hyper
aware of everything that's going on. It wouldn't be the best.
So whatever shout out to Yeah, to choose between people
(45:17):
who bring emotional support animals on flights and Spirit airlines,
there's like if they I don't want to you know,
I'm not trying to shame anybody who actually animal provides
support because I get that. Yeah, you know what Fox
Spirit Airlines, that's where that goes. Their seats are rigid,
they charge you for everything. I just feel like there's
more to this story than they asked me to flush. Yeah, yeah,
(45:40):
the point that they must have got to because I'm
kind of with you. I'm sure someone did say that,
but it was after like twenty minutes of straight like no,
you don't get it. Yeah, what I'm calling the Miami Herald.
But the fact that she did it is a little
(46:00):
did she do it? Yeah, she flushed the fucking thing
down the toilet. I guess the option was right. She
did try and have I think, Andy, you're saying someone.
She did try to call a friend right to come
pick it up, but they were hours away, so there
was no way for her to make her flight and
handoff pebbles to somebody. So I can't imagine she was
like heading to some like insanely important meeting. Like she
(46:21):
doesn't sound like she's the type of girl who had
that thing to get to. It's like, take this be like,
I'll give up my seat for, you know, someone. I
don't know. If it was really her fucking support animal,
she wouldn't be so quick to flush it down at toilet.
I don't have time. I'm closing a landing for the
real tintal mining company. I'm scared. Uh all right, that's
(46:44):
gonna do it. For this week's weekly Zeite, guys, please
like and review the show. If you like the show,
UH means the world to mild He. He needs your validation. Folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to you Monday. By
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh These are some of our favorite segments
from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
last stravaganza. Uhh. So, without further ado, here is the
(00:22):
Weekly Zeitgeist, Jamie. What is something that is underrated? Something
underrated I think is reading the comments. Everyone always says,
don't read the comments, but sometimes I dip my toe
into the comments and I get this rush. I was
awake three hours earlier than I was expecting to be
because I just sat up in a cold sweat because
(00:45):
I had read comments the previous night. I was like, whoa,
I'm fully activated and I walked for seven miles. So underrated.
Um No, I knew where I was going and then
I just ended up somewhere and like and I wasn't.
That's how we met. That sounds healthy. Read what happened? What? What? What? Comments? Under? What? Okay?
(01:11):
So I do a show on Super Dilucttion uh and
never read the comments. But no, but sometimes sometimes on
Facebook especially they're bad, and sometimes it will just like
show up in my feed because I like subscribe to
the channel from my Facebook. So this one just showed up,
and then I fell deep into a hot or not
debate about me, and it was I mean, some points
(01:35):
were made, some valid points, Some people were nice, some
people think I should see a dentist. It's like there's
a lot going on and and uh, you know I
I normally wouldn't dip in, but I did this time,
and you know what, regret it? Okay, yeah, wait so
you interacted? Are you just used right through? Oh? I
love interacting. Yeah, I'm just like, thank you. Valid point.
(01:56):
If anyone wants to give me dental insurance, I'd be
fucking tired. And if there's any entis in the comments, yeah,
if so, very hurtful, but like I will show up.
So yeah, reading comments underrated. Uh. I would say never
to read the comments, just based on my own experience. Uh,
(02:16):
it is a horrifying experience. My most popular video on YouTube.
So the more popular piece of content or whatever gets,
the more likely it is to reach an audience that
is not your audience basically, uh, and the audience that
doesn't think you're hot, right exactly. Um So I had
a video very early on on the show. I used
(02:38):
to do, uh this spittake where it was a good premise,
you know what, just videos of celebrities while they were
unmistakably high or drunk, and it was a lot of fun.
But you know, I wasn't My performance wasn't great. It
was like the fifth video I'd ever done. And the
comments were so mean. It was like the I think
(03:00):
that one of the top comments was I just want
to punch you on the fucking throat, bro, And everyone
was like, yep, yes, it's a debasing experience being on
the internet more than being a frequent podcast guest. I oh,
that's true. I know it's worse. It's definitely for sure worse.
(03:21):
And then it's weird because you'll see comments about your
friends sometimes and it's like, wow, now I know this
mean thing someone thought about you? Do you know? I
can't tell you and I can't bring it up without
looking just shady. Right, can you believe what someone said
about you? Right? I'm like, people say that you have
Cheeto fingers, like it's like they're Cheeto fingers. Yeah, I can't.
I can't. I cannot. Further, I cannot like have like
(03:46):
they're not be like I don't know, but Jamie's one friend,
Remember they have Cheetos for fingers just like actual cheetos.
I feel like I'm like calling them out now, my
friend who has cheetos. They are delicious. Though, um, I
have seen I have seen people like any creative people
(04:07):
who are out there. Uh. I would recommend not reading
the comments as much as possible. I've seen talented writers
kind of lose their way, at least temporarily because of
comments because like you know, that voice gets in their
head and then they like open their next column arguing
with a voice in their head that represents the comments
(04:28):
for for like a page, and it's just like that's
it's just a terrible way to live. You want to
live from your inside and exude outwardly. You don't want
external things to begin affecting you internally, and I think
you begin to betray yourself because if you live by
the comments and you get gassed up when people pick
you up, you're like, oh, yes, I'm feeling good, you
will also die just as bad from the back. Yeah
(04:49):
you got your hot days and you're not days. Believe
believing yourself there, Well, I would, I would, I guess,
uh clarify reading the comments. I wouldn't do it on purpose,
but if you come across them by accident when you're
just innocently scrolling through your own damn feed, just China.
I was literally looking for people who were sad that
the Patriots lost to to make myself feel good, because
(05:11):
I like when people from my homestay are upset and
then I instant karma came across the hot or not discussion.
So when you see it, make the best, make the best.
You found one of us. By the way, I am
a Patriots fan of self one really. Yeah. The super
Bowl was yesterday and yeah, so uh hey, you had
(05:40):
a good party, had a good party. We had a
good party over at my house. It was a lot
of fun. Part because I gave whatever Jamie uh whatever.
Did know you were missed, But it was a lot
of fun. Uh And another good game. I feel like
(06:03):
there's been a pretty great run of Super Bowls for
the past I don't know a handful of years they're
super Bowls with that feature. The Patriots have been really
good games the past three times, but they lost this time,
as I knew they would. Nick Foles was great and
won't be the starting quarterback for the Eagles next year. Um,
(06:27):
and there are rumors that this would be the last
year of the Patriots dynasty. So think of the boys.
Guys want that. But yeah, the rumors that Belichick might
leave because Brady made them trade away, uh Jimmy Aroppolo,
(06:49):
not Janine garoffalo as I just wanted to say, bigger laugh.
But also they could make Tom happy. Uh, so we'll
see about that. Ratings were down. I know people who
skipped it because they didn't want to watch a sport
(07:11):
that is, you know, complicit and giving people c t E.
And then I know of a bunch of people who
skipped it because, uh, they feel like, you know, NFL
players were disrespecting the troops. Um. And then you have
people who don't watch it because they feel like the
NFL is disrespecting those people's right to protest right exactly.
That sounds like a little conflicting because like I just
(07:33):
don't generally care about the NFL, and like this year
kind of made solidified why I don't really watch. So
I don't know, it's like it was hard to kick
the tradition of doing something on Super Bowl Sunday. I
think that's what I found myself in that place. Maybe
we need to create a new tradition wat Super Bowl Sunday,
everybody get together and just watches you know, the Simpsons
(07:54):
and you can still eat and drink or whatever, but
just don't want to bowl. Just don't watch the Super Bowl. Yeah.
I I had a great time. My co host Kyleen
and I went to a canteena last night totally empty.
We got like half price margarita is because no one
was there and they were just like, oh, did you
watch the game. We're like nope. They're like, are you eighteen?
And we were like yes, And then we got half
(08:14):
price margit because well Caylin just Calyn was like I'm
thirty one. I was like I'm eighteen, all right, half
price for you. Not the old lady um. But yeah,
I mean there was a hit during the game. Cooks,
a Patriots receiver caught a ball and then did like
this weird like cartoon character like circle and then ran
(08:37):
and like just that blind side. Yeah, just completely knocked out.
And uh. That was a point where everybody, I think
laughed at first because it looked silly, and then we're like, oh, wow,
he could be dead, like that's legitimate, Like he did
the the same sort of hand thing that Uma Thurman
(08:58):
does actually in that car crash bit sort of like
a Fencers fencing response. Yeah, where your hand just like
kind of goes up because you're so knocked out, you
just kind of go back to fetal position. Um. Yeah,
So that was the game. Congratulations to the City of
philadelth held with quick update. I did just send Steven
(09:18):
Swalsaws Zaslow a request for fifty dollars on the cash app,
and we'll see what he says. See how We'll see
how swoller that bank account I put the the caption
is making me sad. So let's see if he pays
me fifty dollars. S is just like a word for steroids, right,
(09:40):
are Iver saying? It's like I guess when people add
sauce then like yo, I'm swag sauce or something. I
don't know if that's what he means or he just
he makes his like steroids with his ragu And all
I know is it's time to make Steven Swalsaws Zaslows
life hell until he gives me fifty dollars that I
feel sure of. I'm I'm in. I'm in like a
(10:02):
kill bill mood. Yeah, Well, let's wait we'll see, we'll
spend at the end. I have a feeling we'll have
some kind of outcome. Yeah, for sure. Uh justin Timberlake
was the halftime show. Uh, A lot of fun in
the room while watching it. Uh, Lacy Moseley, Uh having
a great time. Yeah, it was having a great time. Yeah,
(10:23):
some great trees having a great time. Videos of them
dancing on Instagram just check out. It was very fun
in the room because I feel like everyone was like
just you know, having a good time and there was music.
Trees had a good story of one half of the
room not loving it and the other half of the
room family edgirl. Um, but yeah, it was I don't
(10:46):
know that apparently there were sound issues, which I couldn't
tell him I watched because afterwards I was like, I
don't know if I actually really watched it. I was
just kind of like having fun at the time and
like they're just having to be Justin Timberlake sound on,
and then like, yeah, when you watched it back, like
the sound was bad and it was actually really underwhelming,
like when you really think about when you compare to
(11:07):
like the halftime show, like Beyonce or like even Katie
Perry We've talked about that when our lady Gaga, this
was like really it was a bummer. It was not
bum and I and I I have I have liked
justin Timber like like there, I have nothing against him.
I mean I do have things against him, but I
liked what future sex love sounds forever. I don't know,
(11:31):
are we done? Are we done with him? I don't
know if we're done with me. He will never be
done with him. People will never be done with him.
But yeah, I mean, look, he still did Janet already.
I was still pissed that Janet did not pop out
and bring balance to the universe and pull his penis
out right, But you know, there's still time for that,
and he still hasn't, you know, addressed that whole thing.
But aside from that, the Prince cover the duet he
(11:52):
did was also weird too, because like I would die
for you, Like you want to have a song with
the title die in it when you're talking about someone
who like historically did not like him, Like why yeah
they So I didn't realize they had an actual beef,
Like when Prince was alive that uh, you know, Prince
at an after show performance, like not an official concert,
(12:14):
but like just after the Emmy's performance or something. Uh.
For the Grammy's performance was like, by the way for
people saying they're bringing Sexy back, Sexy never left, and
justin Timberlake was like, funk that nobody says Sexy never
left about me, and then started, uh a little small
sauce about it. Yeah, I got real swell sauce about it. Uh,
(12:37):
and like had a lyric and um the song give
It to Me, where he was like, now, as Sexy
never left, then why is everybody on my ship? Don't
hate on me just because you didn't come up with it. Um.
Well that was about that was about Prince and then
and then uh he made fun of Prince being short
(12:57):
at the two thousand seven Golden Globes Prince one for
the song of the Heart from Happy Feet. Uh, and
he wasn't at the ceremony, so Timberlake, who was just
presenting the award, was like, I guess I'll accept it
on his behalf, but like ducked down to like a
tiny stance at the microphone to be like get it
because Prince is short. J T. Don't funk around, bro,
(13:20):
you you will not win that. You will not a
dead Prince will beat you every time, every single time. Yeah, exactly.
But even now posthumously, you can't win against this man.
Because the funny thing is, you know, he was saying
like there might be a hologram and ship, and everyone's like,
do not do that, and then they just did like
a whack as big sheet or whatever. But it's funny
(13:41):
because even like Prince has been on record, even when
he was alive, saying like holograph like holographic depictions of
dead people is quote demonic, right, So he's like, I
want nothing to do with that. Yeah, So I guess
the sheet is cool. But it was again, I mean,
the sheet was a reference back to his performed Prince's
Halftime Show, remember that, where like his silhouette of him
(14:03):
just like shredding the guitar with that was actually one
of the great halftime shows. There was a reference to
that in the first concert I ever saw. Obviously I
didn't know at the time, but I saw. I saw
Cisco open for the back Street Boys on September two
thousand and one story Boston, Massachusetts, and Cisco did the
(14:26):
sheet thing and like paid, you know, homage to Prince
for a bunch of you know, nine year old girls. Yeah, yeah,
and he's sang about thongs to the children and we
loved it. My mom was like, let's get this guy's autograph.
Did Yeah, there's nothing more pre nine eleven than a
Cisco Backstreet Boys. It's truly the down to the wire.
(14:51):
I would there's no amount of money would pay who
just be in the world in that moment, speaking to
the white trashiness of it all to my mom and I.
We made signs for the Battery Boys. And this is
when one of the Battery Boys had just gotten out
of rehab, and so we made a sign that was
just like three days sober a j and like held
(15:11):
it up and good for Is he still alive? We
don't know. No, I think he is. How we have
issues too know how he was the sensitive one he
was okay, I'm just making sure, but maybe maybe he
was troubled. Um I was getting him and how he
mixed up? Yeah, it is a bad boy. How is
your live? How ISAs informed us that? How we update?
(15:37):
How we alive? Alive? Sober? We don't know. I wanted
to ask you, what is do you do you have
any predictions things you think we're not aware that we
should be taken seriously right now that maybe we should be. Well,
I have a whole idea of where our next three
wars are going to happen, or those are our next
(15:57):
three military interventions. Trump has a long history of when
people bring up human rights, He's just like, whatever, we
abuse human rights too. So then whenever Trump the Trump
administration comes out and UH is concerned about human rights,
it's always a red flag. The three places they've talked
about being concerned about human rights are Venezuela, South Sudan,
(16:20):
and the Democratic Republic of Congo. And Rex Tillerson used
to be the CEO of Exxon in Venezuela at a
time when they nationalized all their oil and basically took
that company from him. He went to court and sued
and like got a settlement that wasn't what he was
looking for, and he's had a grudge ever since. Now
he's our Secretary of State. And around April of last
(16:43):
year there started these stories started coming out about Trump
being concerned about human rights in Venezuela, and I'm like, oh, yeah, well,
we're gonna go to war in Venezuela pretty soon. And
sure enough. Just this last week, Rex Tillerson, he's kind
of floating the idea that, hey, maybe a coup happened
in Venezuela, And once any representative of the US government
(17:08):
starts talking that way, it's bad times for that country.
Like we're either going to go in or someone's gonna
go in, and we're going to give them a lot
of support. And I think it's all tied to natural
resources in oil. I mean, I I know that Venezuela
has a lot of oil, right, that was sort of uh,
the whole issue is that Hugo Chadas like nationalized their
(17:30):
oil and we didn't like that because they sold us
a lot of oil. Yeah, I get the sense they
knew they had more oil than we realized before we
knew it, because we didn't find out until two thousand
fourteen that they have actually the biggest reserves of oil
in the world, even more than any country in the
Middle East hashtag oil boys. And in two thousand fifteen,
(17:53):
not long after we found that out, Obama all of
a sudden issued this executive order calling them an enemy
of a State. And basically what that means is any
country that does trade deals with US cannot trade with Venezuela.
And what it did is it blocked Japan from doing
this big gold deal with Venezuela that would have bailed
their economy out. But once we put that executive order
(18:15):
in place, Japan couldn't do anything. So we've been kind
of waging If you look into I like it would
take an hour to go through it all, but if
you look into it, we've been kind of waging economic
war with Venezuela for a minute, for almost three years now,
and it's been pretty devastating. I mean, we uh backet cracked.
We have this section, the Personal Experience section of the
site where we would just like interview people with interesting
(18:37):
or extreme life experiences. And a couple of the craziest
stories we ever heard were from people in Venezuela who like,
there was a guy who, uh it had gotten so
bad and hunger had gotten so bad, like the all
the grocery store shelves were just barren, and uh, he
was having to fight off looterers with a crossbow because
(18:59):
he had a mango tree in his yard and they
were all coming for the mangoes and that was the
only way he was feeding his family. Yeah, it's inflation
is the thing we hear about all the time, and
it's like, it's been a long time since we've had
really high inflation in this country, so it's hard to
wrap your head around. But in Venezuela, inflation got so
(19:20):
bad that basically, if you were making the equivalent of
a hundred thousand dollars in the United States, overnight, you
were making like ten thousand dollars a year, Like your
money just became worthless overnight. And it's not our fault,
but the things Venezuela did that made it happen, we've
kind of seized on and are exacerbating it. Two, I
(19:44):
think go in and uh put a government in place
that's a little more friendly friendly to our needs. Yeah,
I mean because the human rights abuses that we hear
about in North Korea and Iran, right, and those in
the State the Union that right in the State of Union. Uh,
those are the places that get all the attention as
you know that watch out America is going to go
(20:06):
to war there, and you're saying that these three other
countries are also right quietly being There's a CNN article
if you just search NICKI Haley Trump, South Sudan, and
you'll find this opinion piece she wrote for CNN, which
is weird because that's like they're they're Boogeyman. Basically, that's
all where all fake news emanates from. But Nicki Haley
(20:27):
was writing this opinion piece about why we need to
go to South Sudan in the Democratic Republic of Congo
and fix these human rights abuses. And if you look,
you can actually pull up a list of conflicts happening
in Africa right now. And yes, those places there are
bad things happening, but they're way way way down the
list in terms of countries that need humanitarian help. But
(20:49):
what they are both are they're both really resource rich
countries that China is working with to set up a
basically set up their own oil market would not be
backed by the US dollar as all oil markets are
right now, and it would basically cut us out of
the foreign oil market, which would destroy our economy. And
(21:11):
even like it's such a high level thing, they can't, like,
the government's never going to come out and go, Okay,
here's why we need to go to war in South Sudan.
Like people are just gonna be like, shut up, we
don't need that oil, but we kind of do like
it depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to
have in the United States, And sometimes I feel like
(21:31):
Trump is just the best way to sell these crazy
military excursions we're going to have to go on, because
then you can just be like, he's crazy, we don't
know what he's doing. But with someone like Hillary Clinton
in place and be like, well, no, she's not crazy,
we have to explain that a little more. Yeah, I mean,
(21:53):
isn't it possible that some of these military campaigns will
just happen without us noticing? Like I feel like a
lot of uh, you know, military action was happening in
Africa that we didn't know about until a handful of
troops were killed over there, and then people were like, oh,
look at look at that. Yeah. When that, I think
(22:13):
a lot of people were like, whoa, why are we
in Africa? Though, It's interesting. We just see like before
all of our meddling South America previously was to like
curb communism, and now it's like, well, now we gotta
get we gotta get the jump on China sort of
not sucking up the whole oil and futures and ships.
So it's it's interesting we see this whole pattern play
out with it's sort of the same tactics and things
like that, but now with just different stakes. Yeah, it
(22:35):
almost feels like an alien invasion kind of thing where
they don't want to tell us that that's what we're
fine because if we lose, it's gonna be a whole
different country. If we lose that economics standing in the world,
it's going to be a radically different place to live.
And I don't know if Americans are ready to hear that. Yeah, right,
Like I'd rather hear there was an asteroid coming than
(22:58):
I might not be able to afford a blue right
player if a new one comes out next right, Yeah, no,
just kill me now, exactly right away. Yeah, if you
told him you had like a number one in McDonald's
would not be seventy eight dollars. Yeah, it's not a
world I want to live in. All right, We are
going to take a quick break. We'll be right back
with more, and we're back. We wanted to talk about
(23:28):
some people who uh made a bunch of money off
of cryptocurrency and went down to Puerto Rico. It's basically
like if somebody wrote a satire of late stage capitalism,
Like they couldn't do any better than this. So all
these dudes who are like in their thirties and then
there's like one guy in his fifties. Uh, all like
(23:51):
decided they were going to take all their earnings off
of cryptocurrency. And like they have, you know, billions of
dollars of cryptocurrency some of them, and uh they're moving
the money from the Caymans, which is what you use
as a tax shelter, before they're moving it over to
Puerto Rico. And this is something we've talked about before,
(24:12):
a thing called disaster capitalism, where you know, capitalists come
in after a disaster and basically like privatize things. And
we've talked about how uh there are people who are
privatizing Puerto Rico's uh their power company, National Power Power Grid. Um.
By the way, still don't have power in Puerto Rico. Um.
(24:37):
But uh so these guys have decided they're going to
create a crypto utopia where it's like this society that's
run by this guy. Um his name is Brock Pierce.
He's sort of the leader Topia movement. Former former child
(24:58):
actor who has been food for fraud multiple times. Like
clearly a con man. But let's let's listen to the
description of these guys, because this New York Times reporter
went down there. Uh so the leader of the port
Topia movement emerged, Brock Pierce, wearing drop crutch capri pants,
a black vest that almost hit his knees, and a
(25:19):
large black felt hat. Uh. The there's other guys. One
guy's wearing two tone aviators and another guy is wearing
a smartphone on a necklace. So they're just like fucking
two tone aviators. Uh. The ones that like, yeah, oh wow,
(25:41):
so's yeah he's a spook for sure, and he's got
a cell phone necklace. Cellphone, Yeah, smartphone on a necklace.
I like how they simultaneously straddle nerdy dad with like
out of touch too, who just like went to a
hip store by clothes or Yeah, it's just they're they're
transported from Silicon Valley. But um there they say things
like we're benevolent capitalists building a benevolent economy. Um. Mr
(26:06):
Pierce got into digital money early as a professional gamer,
mining and trading gold in the video game World of Warcraft,
an effort funded partly by Steven Steve Mann. Uh. And
he's a controversial figure. Like I said, he has been
sued for fraud among other things. Oh also I just
had to pull up his acting career. He played young
(26:27):
Gordon Bombay in The Mighty Ducks. So just think about that.
Here's also Luke Davenport in First Kid. Is that the
one with Simbad? I don't know, yep, it is that.
I remember. Simbad is like secret service agent. Anyway, that's
a whole other thing. Luke Davenport, Is he the first Kid?
I wonder, President Davenport, your son is out of hand? Yeah,
(26:48):
he is. He is. He is the kid from First Kids,
the first Kid. Of course he's got government connections. Mm hmm.
So here's a quote from them. Uh. He said he
is aiming to create a charitable token called one with
one billion dollars of his own money. And now now
(27:08):
get ready to have your fucking mind blown. It's one.
Now he's like you won something or and he says,
if you take the my out of money, you're left
with one. Don't that way. And if you look at
one means you're on e. Then somebody about him immediately
(27:37):
he's tuned into a higher calling, said Kai Nyeguard, scion
of the Canadian clothing company Nyeguard and a crypto investor quote,
He's beyond money this Christopher guest. It's amazing that guy's
starting a cult for Oh no, they've they've taken over
(27:57):
a like abandoned hotel and they're all living in a
hotel that like was just a building that happened to
not be touched by the hurricane. So of course, exactly here. Now,
this is maybe maybe the most telling quote. Next we
(28:17):
hear from a gentleman named Halsey Minor who's like a
gamer taxbox. He's the founder of the news site c net,
which is very useful website. Uh, and he is moving
his new blockchain company, video Coin from the Cayman Islands
Puerto Rico this winter, Uh, he says, referring to, uh,
(28:39):
what's happened here. He says, what's happened here is a
perfect storm, referring to a Hurricane Maria and the investment
interest that has followed. He added, while it was really
bad for the people of Puerto Rico, in the long term,
it's a godsend if people look past that. So, man,
perfect storm is such an awful phrase to use in
that context. Yeah, And then bad for the people of
(29:02):
Puerto Rico. But when you think about it, cryptocurrency is
just look past that, this flip past the humanity of
it all. Yeah, and think about the sick gass video
coin baby, Right, Yeah, Katrina was bad, but we'll have
so many casinos there someday. Um Man, cryptopy. I thought
it was a place for cryps to hang out. I
didn't realize that we're in cryptopy. Yeah, we have to
(29:26):
get into Uh this Quincy Jones interview. Uh he went
as the headline on our dock here, says he went in.
He goes on many topics. Yeah, so Miles, you're gonna
just take us. I'm just gonna moment. So, yeah, he's
got a he's about turn eighty five and Netflix documents
(29:47):
blah blah blah, it doesn't matter. Documentary coming, Yes, he's
in this article, says he's in the midst of victory
ahead of his turning eighty five in March, and Netflix documentary,
CBS special hosted by Oprah that are all on the horizon.
And we all know Quincy Jones, prolific music producer, has
worked with the best, and he has a right to
have an opinion on many things because he has he
(30:07):
has seen it all. He even played you know, jazz
with a fucking Benito Mussolini's son. Okay, so that's even
in this article. But let me just go through some
of the hotter takes in here. So, uh, they go
through the usual stuff, they get to Michael Jackson and
they so this is him on Michael Jackson produced Thriller, right, Yes,
a little little out album. Yes, uh, some people may
(30:29):
have heard of it. Uh. So he says about Michael Jackson.
I hate to get into this publicly, but Michael stole
a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs
like Donna, Summer, State of Independence, Ambilla, Jean the Nose,
Don't lie man. He was as Macavillian as they come.
And he says, they go on. He sort of explains
a little more about how he's like always kind of
taking sections of song and making his own, which is
fine because everything is Yeah. They yeah, it sounds like
(30:55):
it's the same notes, like he said, but it's definitely
sped up. And I still think Michael jack and it's
a genius for remembering that baseline and being like, oh,
I'll take that, slow it down, put it here, and
make the greatest pop song. And then he said what
about The interview asked, what about outside of music? What's
misunderstood about Michael? I used to kill him about the
plastic surgery man. He'd always justified and say it was
(31:16):
because of some disease he had. That was bullshit. And
then they're like, well, how much were his problems wrapped
up with fame? You mean the way he looked. He
had a problem with his looks because his father told
him he was ugly and abuse him. What do you expect?
And there's like, yeah, you know, a strange juxtaposition. How
Michael's music was joyous but his life seems sadder and
more odd as time goes by, and quench he says, yes,
(31:38):
but at the end, Michael's problem was proper fall and
that problem affects everyone. Doesn't matter if you're famous. Big
Farmer making Oxycon and all that ship is a serious thing.
I was around the White House for eight years with
the Clinton's and I learned about how much influence Big
Farmer has. It's no joke. What's your sign man? And
the interviews like, uh, pisces me too, It's a great sign. Uh.
(31:58):
And then if he goes on, he just mentioned the Clinton's.
Who are your friends friends of yours? Why is there
still such visceral dislike of them? What are other people
not seeing in Hillary for example, that you see And
he goes it's because there's a side of her when
you keep secrets. Day backfired. Interview goes on, like what secrets? Man?
This is something else I shouldn't be talking about. Interview
(32:19):
goes on, well, you seem to know a lot. I
know too much. Man, what's something you wish you didn't know?
Who killed Kennedy? And then interview goes on who did it? Man?
Chicago mobster Sam jan Connor? Man, the connection was there
between Sinatra and the mafia and Kennedy. Joe Kennedy. Man,
he was a bad man. He came to Frank to
(32:40):
have him talk to Gian conn about getting votes in
Illinois and they're like, yes, we've heard this theory before
that the mob helped win Illinois for Kennedy nine sixty.
And he goes on, man, we shouldn't be talking about
this publicly. Where are you from? And he's like Toronto.
So that's that's how they sort of interviews going like
he's got a lot of interesting things, then just drop
(33:00):
an earth shatter what's uh so? Then they go on
a little bit later, then they kind of get to
more current events, like sort of the me too movement.
He says, Well, we've obviously been learning more lately about
how just how corrosive the entertainment industry can be for women.
(33:21):
As someone who's worked in the business at the highest
levels for so many years, do all the recent revelations
come as a surprise. No, man, women had to put
up with that fucked up ship. Women and brothers, we're
both dealing with the glass ceiling. But what about the
alleged behavior of a friend of yours like Bill Cosby?
Is it hard to square what he's been accused of
with the person you know? It was all of them,
Brett Ratner, Weinstein, Weinstein, Man, he's a job motherfucker, wouldn't
(33:44):
return my five, calls a bully return my five? I
don't know, and he's a bully, called him a jive motherfucker,
Like this is dolomite or something. What about Cosby? Though?
What about it? Where the allegations a surprise to you? Man?
We can't talk about this in public. Man, I'm surprised.
He didn't pivot. That was to be like, hey man,
what does your heir that what happens? So then they
(34:06):
go into then they start talking about racism, like you know,
the this modern age and like white nationalism that's popping up.
And the interview asked what stirred everything up? Is it
all about Trump? Is um uh? And Quincy replies, it's Trump,
an uneducated rednecks man. Trump is just telling them what
they want to hear. I used to hang out with him.
He's a crazy motherfucker, limited mentally, a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I
(34:27):
can't stand him. I used to date a Vanka, you
know what the dating vodka? So obviously his daughter yes,
His daughter says, wait, really yes, sir. Twelve years ago
Tommy Hill figure who was working with my daughter Cadada, said,
h quote, Ivanka wants to have dinner with you. I said,
no problem. She's a fine motherfucker. She had the most
(34:50):
beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Wrong, father,
thoughts is a fucking fool man. What do you think?
That day was like, oh my god, I just have
to take a thing that when I still have the process,
it would be like just how he has like, you know,
(35:12):
I should data Vanka twelve years ago, like two at
the time, like in her early twenties at that time. One, No,
she's I think something like right, so twelve years ago
she would have been twenty five. Twelve years ago for
eighty five year old would have been seventy three. Yeah,
she would and three at the time if they dated.
(35:34):
I don't know. Look, I don't know what happened with that,
but that's just so weird that she was even like,
we need more old people to dinner with you. So
also entirely possible that she was just like I had
a business proposal for him maybe, and he was like,
she's trying to get it. Has He's like kind of
(35:55):
a prolific father, you know what I mean, because Dada
and I guess women like your children like four other women.
So you know, he gets out there and so anyway,
they move on to the Beatles ready for the fuego take.
So he says he talks about Paul that he said,
how was it like when you first heard rock? And
he said something like, man, just sounds like white boys
(36:15):
trying to rhythm and blues. He's like, you know, I
knew Paul McCartney, who was twenty one, and then the
guy says, what were your first impressions of the Beatles?
That they were the worst musicians in the world. They
were no playing. Motherfucker's Paul was the worst bass player
I ever heard, and Ringo don't even talk about it.
I remember once we were in the studio with George
Martin and Ringo had taken three hours for a four
bar thing. He was trying to fix on the song.
(36:36):
He couldn't get it. We said, mate, why don't you
get some logger in lines, some shepherd's pie and take
an hour and a half and relax a little bit.
So he did, and we called Ronnie Varrell, a jazz drummer.
Ronnie came in for fifteen minutes, and toward Ringo comes
back and says, George, can you play it back for
me one more time? So George did. Ringo says that
didn't sound so bad, and I said, yeah, motherfucker, because
(36:58):
it ain't you great guy though, yo. Pivots, the pivots
in this are like a la jahwan yea. His footwork
on these pivots so they're unbelow the way. He can
just sort of diffuse something so crazy, great question. Genals
(37:21):
just became my favorite person. Man. Then there's one where
he talks about Marlon Brando. This is just a funny
thing where he says, you know, Marlon Brando and I
uhoul go chat dancing, and he could dance his ass off.
He was the most charming motherfucker you ever met. He
fucked anything, anything. He fuck a mailbox, James Baldwin, Richard
pryor Marvin Gay. He slept with him. How do you
know that? Come on, man, he did not give a funk.
(37:43):
You like Brazilian music. He said he fucked Marvin. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know if he was names Baldwin.
I don't know if he's saying that James Baldwin, fu like,
are they are? J was Baldin, Richard prior Marvin Gay?
Roll in that in that camp anything like that, they
(38:04):
would suck anything or that. It's hard to know when
you're not hearing it. But it's just so funny that
he's like, wait, the guy even like he slept with them,
and he's like, come on, man, you can give those
pivots are just yet the next level. So I mean,
that's that's just a portion of it. He still he
talks about playing with like I said Muslini's son the
one good thing, which I'm not I can't fully like
(38:26):
read the quote back, but like he talks about like
creatively what was like sort of his X factor, and
he's like, you know, do you hear any innovation and music?
He's like, no, man, because a lot of these people
are chasing like rock vodka and fat Farm okay, clearly
taking shots of P Diddy and uh and also about
ten years late fat farm, fat Farm and I love
baby fat and apple bottom jeans. But he was he
(38:49):
was saying like, you know, the second you chase money,
God leaves the room and you're not gonna make that
fire music, which is I mean, which I think is
a really good piece of advice for anyone never thought
about money when he was making Yeah the set, can
you consider an outside audience and you were just not
making art that's true to you? Yeah, you've lost, which
was to me the most useful thing, uh that I saw.
He also talked about like the persons like would you
(39:11):
ever date someone your your age? And he was like, pah, yeah,
I read something like maybe a few days ago. So
this is before this interview, or maybe it was something
from this interview that he has twenty two girlfriends and
they all know about each other. Is that right? Is
that true? Yeah, that that's something that happened. Maybe that
(39:31):
was like a Playboy interview. He's getting interviewed a lot,
but uh, yeah, there was. He he talked about how
he had twenty two girlfriends all over the world, like
one in each country that he visits. There's a he
kind of makes references that because the guy just says, uh,
the interview asked, Okay, let me ask you a left
field question in your memoir. There's a section where you
(39:53):
talk about being a dog. And he says, that's not
what I was thinking of, but yeah, that's in there.
I was thinking. Just goes on to this other thing
like here. I think thought he was alluding to that. Yeah,
you want to hear about the fucking right about No, No,
I read your Playboy interview. We we got that. But yeah,
and he talks about how like he's he's never dated
(40:15):
a woman. I think they asked like what his expiration
date is and he says like thirties or or something.
Stuck in a time warp. Yes, said Cindy Lapper almost
ruined We Are the World with her loud ass Jewelry
had a blowout with her, just to show you hit
this man's ego. Though. One of the questions was what's
something you've worked on that should have been bigger? And
(40:37):
he answers, what the funk are you talking about? I've
never had that problem. They were all big. So he's
like LaVar Ball mixed with I mean, this dude, he's
I mean, but he earned it and Trump were super talented. Yeah,
I mean, he didn't earn to be problematic, but he
definitely earns the right to talk ship because you know,
nobody's on the quincy level. I guess like he waited
(40:58):
for a long time to be this unfiltered. Right when
you're when you're an octogenarian, you know, as we've seen it,
you know, you begin to let loose a little bit,
stop giving any fox at all. So guys, yes, please
check out that. It's it's a wonderful read. And the
interview is from what magazine it was in Vulture? Vulture.
(41:19):
Damn great interview. All Right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back. Let's let's talk
Spirit Airlines, you guys, because they're Spirit Airlines, because we uh.
(41:46):
Super producer Anajosnier brought a terrifying story to us from
the realms of Spirit Airlines the nether world. Uh, Spirit Airlines.
When you just walk on there, it's just like logic
turns upside down and just like terrible ship starts to happen.
It actually costs an extra two dollars to look at
(42:07):
their website. Um. They had a young woman who was
on Spirit Airlines who brought a hamster with her as
her emotional support pet. Uh. You know, I'm not a
huge believer in certain emotional support pets like I think,
(42:27):
I think dogs, sure, but hamster, you know, if it
was working for her, it was working for her. But um,
rather than being like, all right, you have to keep
that like under under wraps or whatever, they made her
apparently flush the hamster down the toilet. And honestly, that's
(42:47):
probably a better experience than writing on Spirit there rights
like thank you, this is dope. I mean, well that
the thing is yes. This woman she called twice it
was like, yo, I have a emotional support hamster. Can
I bring pebbles on board? And they said twice yes.
Then she pulled up and they're like, not, fam, you
can't bring that rat on here. And I guess she
(43:10):
alleges that they said, well, why don't you just flush
it down the toilet because you can't bring this sht
on and she tried to call a friend to pick
it up. Spirit Airlines their statement was obviously was like,
we made the mistake by clearly someone told her she
could bring it on when they couldn't, because that's not
our policies. But they're like, but they really deny that
they said anyone suggested to flush it down the tip.
I can't imagine there was some like let me get
(43:31):
my manager in the managers like well you have two options,
you know. I think like I could have maybe someone
like was off hitted, like I don't know, just sucking
about the toilet, you know, like that. But like I
just cannot imagine that that's what they did. But I
do love like her being like okay, fine, I'll do
it and then being like, well that's the spirit and
(43:53):
or she refused to call it a spirit animal and
so that's why she wasn't emotionally reporting. She was like
because the d S a does allow them that technically
can be considered an emotional support animal. But man, I
just don't like flying with people when they bring emotional
support Pats. My girlfriend we have a dog, and she's like,
(44:14):
she likes to bring it with us on airplanes. I'm like,
so my Japanese side does not want to make a
scene or like cause inconveniences. So like when the dogs
like barking, I'm like, oh god, don't just and we
brought on the airport. It took a mad ship in
the airport. It was a moment the dog literally started
arches back to ship. I lifted him up and bare
hand caught the ship before it got all over the
(44:35):
airport floor. And then I just slammed dunks in the
toilet in the garbage can and walked embarrassedly into the
bathroom when people looked at it, yea, So I don't know.
Most they stressed me out, but you know that's me.
I feel. I feel like you need to know your
dog is gonna be able to handle it, because I've
been on a couple of flights recently where I've seen
some chill as mother dog that can just handle it,
and you gotta and you gotta know that maybe just
(44:56):
like some CBD edibles before they like get chill out
their anxiety. But like my dog would not feel to
my dog, even though she's like a little like a
little girl who likes to be around me, like she
would just be so like like just like super hyper
aware of everything that's going on. It wouldn't be the best.
So whatever shout out to Yeah, to choose between people
(45:17):
who bring emotional support animals on flights and Spirit airlines,
there's like if they I don't want to you know,
I'm not trying to shame anybody who actually animal provides
support because I get that. Yeah, you know what Fox
Spirit Airlines, that's where that goes. Their seats are rigid,
they charge you for everything. I just feel like there's
more to this story than they asked me to flush. Yeah, yeah,
(45:40):
the point that they must have got to because I'm
kind of with you. I'm sure someone did say that,
but it was after like twenty minutes of straight like no,
you don't get it. Yeah, what I'm calling the Miami Herald.
But the fact that she did it is a little
(46:00):
did she do it? Yeah, she flushed the fucking thing
down the toilet. I guess the option was right. She
did try and have I think, Andy, you're saying someone.
She did try to call a friend right to come
pick it up, but they were hours away, so there
was no way for her to make her flight and
handoff pebbles to somebody. So I can't imagine she was
like heading to some like insanely important meeting. Like she
(46:21):
doesn't sound like she's the type of girl who had
that thing to get to. It's like, take this be like,
I'll give up my seat for, you know, someone. I
don't know. If it was really her fucking support animal,
she wouldn't be so quick to flush it down at toilet.
I don't have time. I'm closing a landing for the
real tintal mining company. I'm scared. Uh all right, that's
(46:44):
gonna do it. For this week's weekly Zeite, guys, please
like and review the show. If you like the show,
UH means the world to mild He. He needs your validation. Folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to you Monday. By
