Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza.
Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Well,

(00:25):
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are? Search restory? Okay, Well, I recently looked
up what DoD Teva's look like. Now, Uh, tivas are like, oh,
sort of like dad sandals. I recently became a dad,
so I feel like I thank you very very much.
Thank you. How to keep a baby alive? That's another
thing I've been frantically googling recently. How much water do

(00:46):
you need to put on your baby to stay to
stay alive? Yes, baby water baby question Mark morning, How
many times water baby per day? Please? Savings. But Tiva's
I think I've been trying to be transition to a
dad's sandal, So I just want to sort of keep
updated on the tevas and on the birken Stocks and

(01:06):
just sort of gauge where the dad's sandal market is at.
Now are like hot? Yeah, Tiva's are not? Like? Are
still are still You're telling people down on Larch month.
You're a liberal last dad, you better have some stocks.
They'll be like, all right, get out here, maga guy
with or something. Your reef, your reef flip flops. Tiva's

(01:30):
still look the same, right, because that wave came back?
Did the Tiva wave come back? Because I remember like
last year and it was like, oh, I'm trying to
get like, oh I want these Teva's and I was okay,
like but it was a clown on exactly, But that
was ago. Vas are cool cool again. Yeah, I mean
because the ankle strap sandal became like a very fashionable

(01:55):
thing for a while. That's so funny. So maybe people
were just like, well that all started with if we
can always a culture just learn to lean in and
fully embrace Velcrow, I would be grateful. And I just
really want to explain that they came out with a
whole new platform set, which became very cool with the
young millennial girls who are trying to vibe and look cute,

(02:16):
be like old trendy, but at the same time have
a little platform heel away. And then they came in
cute colors, so we were like, honey, they back, they
back old trendy is my nickname. I feel really validated
by that, and so I I it sounds like I
am accidentally on trends more of a zada great, Okay, cool,

(02:40):
and it's I feel like chunky old dead shoes like
dead sneakers are like the wave with young kids. Yeah,
because it's just everything's in twenty cycle. I'm gonna have
to go to my mom's house and bust out my
old academic jeans ahead a bunch of man. He's always
ripping the other past. Check the speak of twenty years.

(03:01):
I believe space jam is right on cue coming back
for example years later. So, yeah, I think you're from
these baggy basketball shorts. Exactly. What is something from your
search history that is revealing about who you are? That
is a great question. The first thing is Ronan Pharaoh

(03:22):
Frank Sinatra. That is very revealing about me. I'm sure
you guys have discussed that that's his dad. That's clearly
his dad. Like, have you seen Ronan Pharaoh's face? Now
have you seen he looks like young does he have
young blue He's got young blue eyes, dude, but he's
young blue. Also, Yeah, it's the same, it's the same

(03:45):
age of blue, and like you look at Woody Allen
as an old man, as a young man, as an
in between man, there is no way. There's no way
that Ronan Pharaoh away, who's his supposed to be? His
dad is supposed to be Woody Allen, his biological his
biological father is supposed to be Woody Allen. Yes, yes, yes,

(04:08):
so the story there is okay, So I decide with
Woody Allen. So Mia Pharaoh was married to Woody Allen
and had Ronan Pharaoh, right, and uh so people as
Ronan got older and more Frank Sinatra like, people were
like that Kara looks like and and that was the

(04:32):
thing for a while there there was no like real
conspiracy about it or like you know, people really didn't know.
But then now he's at the age where you're like,
it is undeniable, like any child couldn't like look like
Frank Sinatra. Jack, I'm sure you look like Frank Sinatra
actually a little bit, but you but like now and

(04:54):
also Mia Pharaoh says it's entirely possible. Yeah, when you
look at young wood The Allen like, well, I don't
see any of Roman. I don't I see me when
I look at young Woody Allen, I'm like, yeah, he
looks like me. Look at the same news websites. They're
being scandalous with all these side by sides where you're
just like, okay, we get it. That's just they're doing

(05:14):
the side by sides, but like finding places where they're
wearing the same color, putting that next year they're in
the same face. But it does look a lot like him.
I mean, and I'm no expert in DNA. Yeah, but
I am an expert at knowing when no, I'm not.
Wait this guy on again, business card you hand out

(05:37):
when expert at DNA, what is that then? Yeah, d's
nutsole nuts. I'm an expert at these nuts assholes icebreaker
every morning. But I'm looking again at underneath gets me
in sticky situations that I have an expert witness in
a murder. Occasionally I show up in court like, listen,

(05:58):
this is an elaborate joke that works great at parties.
But also if they look like each other, then that's
probably the killer. That's usually what I say. So, yeah,
I mean, he just looks exactly like them. There's a
there's a story and the kids stays in the picture
where Mia Pharaoh is like, I think, married to Frank
Sinatras during the filming of Rosemary's Baby. But then the

(06:22):
kid Robert Evans rest in Peace. Does he have an
affair with her and like gets her out of that relationship.
It's been a while since I read the book, but
probably there was. That sounds right, sounds right. But the
bottom mind is, look at those two photos exactly was
a romantic involvement and she even she says it's possible,

(06:45):
and she said they divorced, but they never really broke up,
so meaning that, like it would also mean because he
was born like the mid to late eighties, I think
I think he held out so so he was so
Frank was still old man end but dude still had
the thickest ropes. And I believe it because he looks virile.

(07:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean so, I'm just saying that
part of her statement also, yeah, when we divorced, never
really broke up. What is something you think is overrated? Well,
it's in the same it's in the same bracket. But
WiFi on planes, get it out of there, get it
out of there. No one's that busy, no one's got

(07:28):
that match on. Who freaking kids take, however long the
flight is to yourself. I hate it. And people who
say we just don't use it, obviously predicting the idea
that I have the self control not to use free
WiFi onto me. It's I just I just don't think
it's necessary. I'm sure that they're you know, I'm sure.

(07:49):
I'm sure there are people who, yeah, sure, it makes
sense if you have something going on urgent, But we
were surviving before plane WiFi split it into like smoking
sections and non you know, WiFi and non y fight
or even entirely independent flights. If your life is so
busy you need to go when you get on a
WI flight, that's right, but don't don't. I don't want
to see people on their laptop sending emails when I'm

(08:09):
trying to enjoy hy Him drives me nuts. The thing
I don't like is when you start people doing Instagram
and Snapchat stories like in the right and I'm like,
the thing that bothers me is people. There's always a
lot of people with spreadsheets open. I'm just like, how
the fuck are you like getting that type of work
done on a plane. It's always it's never anything to

(08:32):
do with him. There's always a personal attack on you. Yeah. No,
I asked that, Yeah, exactly, full spreadsheet. I got like
seventeen cells on work. I just think planes are pretty
much all you know. It's one of the few shared
spaces we have lived and uh, I don't know. I
don't want them to take it away just yet. What
would you tell someone who's who? Let's let's let me

(08:55):
let me play the role of someone who says, but guy,
I'm a high powered dot dot dot I need to
send emails man or x um. What what do you
say to me? I'm I could be losing valuable work
time up here with thanks to taking the time to
talk to me. Yes, I don't really I don't really

(09:18):
care about your situation. Okay, problem, I just say you
answer me this. Do you have any spare change? I
got puckets full of coins right now. One thing, one
Devil's Advocate there would be Delta is now editing their movies.
So uh that what what was the movie directed by

(09:41):
Olivia Wilde this book smart, Book Smart? They edited out
like a same sex love scene and the word lesbian
from that movie Delta. So that's one thing that that's
what it gets weird. Like Delta being your propaganda into
my brain. Don't have WiFi. That's crazy, Yeah, because I

(10:02):
watched Escape from Dana Mora on the plane and they
left all that rachy ship in there. Yeah, and I
look like a really unlike a perverted guy on the
passenger to due next to me. I'm watching a scene
where like, uh, what's her name? Was a Britrici Arquhead
is just having fucking jail sex with Paul Dano and ship.
And the guy next to me was like this, like
it looked like. I was just like, bro, it's a
show man, and been like, don't tell any body. Yeah,

(10:31):
but that would have that would only make things worse
if you haven't seen that. That's a moment from Benicio
del Toro's performance that is just go google it. I've
seen it. I just deliberately acted like I haven't seen
it to spare us embarrassment. What is a myth? What's

(10:53):
something people think it's true you know to be false. Well, now,
I don't know if you boys have fit this, But
there was once a nymph who lived in the woods
named Echo. And Echo was a delightful and she loved
to natter. She was always nettering away. Do you have
the word nasa here? It's like it's like Chester chatter.

(11:17):
And one day she was just nettering away and here
do you know who HERA is? Hera h e R
a queen of the God's wife of Zeus. She was
out on the hunt for Zeus in the woods. I
believe other sell far Yeah, yeah, this all seems to
be above board. And and she comes across Echo and
she says, Echo, have you seen Zeus? And echoes so

(11:40):
just so obsised with naturing as Echoes you go and
keeps interrupting hera. And here it becomes very frustrated and says, Echo,
I'm really trying to have a conversation with you here,
and Echo keeps nattering away. It's so good to see you.
Here are you looking delightful? And Here says this is
really the bloody final straw for me. As punishment, I
curse you. You can no longer speak, you know your

(12:03):
own mind freely. You have to You're you're a life,
damned to eternity for just parenting back repeating what has said.
Two were around you. And Echo was obviously devastated by
this and took a long walk in the woods so
demoralized was she, But thankfully well, she was walking the woods,
she saw it handsome man, okay, Narcissus, and he was

(12:27):
taking a stroll. This guy was he was handsome and
he was taking a stroll along. And Echo wanted to
say something, but couldn't say anything, because you know, she
can only repeat what has said about her. And she
followed Narcissus, who found a body of water, and he
looked into the body of water, and he saw a
reflection of the most beautiful damn face he'd ever seen.

(12:48):
And he was looking at it, and he said, I
love you, and Echo, from her hiding place, repeated back
to Narcissus, I love you. And Narcissus was like, oh
my god, this beautiful face loves me, and and said
I wish I could. You know. It sort of starts
falling in love with the face and eventually plunges into
the body of water and drowns. And Echo was so

(13:10):
heartbroken by this turn of events. She stopped eating, she
stopped drinking, and eventually she she withered away until only
her voice was left. Anyway, Well, the whole time, I've
thought that echoes are caused by a reflection offer relatively
even surface shows you what I know. So you're correcting

(13:32):
that echoes are caused reflections waves off of a Yeah,
that's what I've actually seen that documentary. The more you know, Yeah, indeed,
every time my echo the dolphins, Yeah that is I

(13:53):
didn't realize all those myths were so closely tied together. Yeah,
all right, we're going to take a quick break and
we'll be back to get into some news and we're back. Well,

(14:15):
there's another supporter that Trump might have gained or might
gain if Elizabeth warrens the Democratic nominee, because Bill Gates
has said that he doesn't know who he'd vote for
if it was Warren. First Trump, Uh, yeah, the guy
who everyone's like, Oh, he's so nice. He's such a

(14:36):
nice Fellah. The exact quote was, if I had to
pay twenty billion dollars in taxes, that's fine. But when
you say I should pay a hundred billion dollars, then
I'm starting to do a little math about what I
have left over. I'm just kidding, but seriously, like he didn't, Yeah,
he did say, he said, sorry, I'm just kidding. So

(14:58):
you really want the incentive system to be there and
you can go a long way without threatening that but
still but still uh so as Ryan grim The I
think he used to be BuzzFeed News director, but he
pointed out on Twitter that despite being famous for giving
like all his money away, he's worth more money today

(15:19):
than he was when he retired. Right, It's just all
texts there, I I I never understand, Like there was
that great clip that was circulating a couple of weeks
ago that says all of this more articulately than I'm
about to. But just like the whole like congratulating billionaires

(15:41):
on like giving a small amount of their fortune away
and that being the justification to keep like keep laws
in place that allow for like that's why we shouldn't
abolish billionaires because sometimes share right half of a percent
of their wealth and you're legally they should have to

(16:01):
do that plus more. Anyway, it's just I don't know,
nice guy Bill Gates, I don't funk with it, and
and that that Netflix series is genuinely I watched like
part of the first episode and it's just like nice
guying him. It's the same thing as like Musk going
on fucking Joe Rogan and smoking weed. You're just like
you're just trying to be a person you can put

(16:22):
me more off? Are you're hitting that blunt like that?
It's I don't know, yeah, that's I guess I'm not surprised,
but that's a fucking well. This is where you see
this the real class warfare starting to begin, especially with candidates.
And Lara's a few you know write ups just looking
at like how many billionaires support each candidate. I think
Pete Budda has the most billionaire donors, and then he's

(16:46):
got McFarlane, Corey Booker, Seth, He's got Seth. What shows
you though they have more faith in than they do
Biden because Biden only has like thirteen billionaire donors. I
think Elizabeth Warren has two or one. Bernie is the
only person with none. But again, it shows you that
there is this thing where because as people talk more
and more out loud, they're like, wait, there's two progressive

(17:08):
candidates that are a threat to my like just offensive
wealth accumulation. Yeah, to say like, well, look I'm trying
to look at what's left over for me, right, oh
three billion dollars you fuck? Yeah. So this Twitter user,
Unionized Santa Elves pointed out that a million seconds is
twelve days. A billion seconds is thirty one years. Just

(17:31):
to like put the sheer amount of like what perspec
accumulated into perspective. He has a hundred and six billion dollars,
So the seventy five percentile of American like somebody who's
doing well compared to everybody else has I think three
hundred sixty eight thousand dollars net worth, So they have

(17:55):
the equivalent of four days. Bill Gates has three thousand,
two written eighty six years worth of worth of put
their net worth into the seconds. And Moses was alive
when three thousand, two hundred six years ago, like literally
most like literally from the I'm out here spending money

(18:17):
from Moses time, they're still spending money from eight Yeah,
we get four days. There's been a lot of there
was like a TikTok of like a teenager trying to
figure out how like how far Bill Gates is like
wealth could go and it like it literally solve world
hunger and not even be half gone. Like it's just
so it's so fucking absurd. Every day he wakes up

(18:40):
and decides not to do that with his money, and
we will give money to MPR. But like to think
that that's a fair division of resources is literally impossible
to conceive of because he must believe, like if he
thinks he is three thousand, two six times like more

(19:01):
than that, like right from it, than he believes that
he's like a god on earth. Yeah there's another I
read another article or just a stat about how a
lot of these hyper wealthy people are running out of
investment ideas so now they're just hoarding like something like
I don't know, two or three trillion dollars in bank account,
fucking what, Like it just it makes me something. And

(19:23):
then I have like family members who are like, well,
why should they be forced to give away so much
money that they earned? And you're like, well, look at
like that's on the assumption that it was all legitimately
earned and not by just like hoarding or withholding or
every loophole and the planet either way, it's just the
inequality be fucking offensive to people. And the way that

(19:44):
you accumulate that is through like exploiting here and exploiting
ship out of a unequal sir, the person who hit Powerball, Yeah,
finally leave them alone whatever whatever. But like if you're
out here on some multinational conglomerates ship and you're just
siphoning all this money out of different parts of the
world like it ends it ends bad. We're already in

(20:07):
the process of seeing how how terrible the income inequality
is in this country and let alone the rest of
the fucking earth. Right, it's just like, show me a
billionaire that like got that way ethically, it doesn't exist.
That's like not I think people are picturing like, Okay,
I know rich people, so that these people must be

(20:28):
like like that just a little bit more like two
times more well, but but also it's yeah, that guy,
but it's so far and beyond just anything that we
can even conceive of the amount of money and inequality
that exists. And I'm sure if you ask, like an

(20:49):
average person like how much what's what's your dream like
wealth lifestyle, I'm sure probably want to I'm look, if
you're not completely fucked up from celebrity consumer culture, but
like I just want to how you be able to
go on vacations with my family operation if I need it? Right,
that's it versus like, hey, I'm gonna, like, I don't know,
piss away a couple of billion dollars on whatever I

(21:10):
don't know it's so, but you know there was a
video of him jumping over the chair that time. People
like that. Yeah, he does have hops like that. He's
got hops, So maybe he does deserve that much more
money from the kind of vertical as you say, mad Boost.
Have you seen that video mo, Yeah, of the chair hop? Yeah,

(21:30):
I mean it is it is. We've really come full circle.
A capable of amazing things must jump this high to
hoard your wealth. Something that is overrated I feel is well,

(21:50):
this is like a cell phone. Overrated is being caught
alone in public and then lying about it. Yeah, I
favorite at that. You just gotta own it. You just
gotta own it. It It was it was I went I
like to go places by myself. I had like my
first day off and forever. On Sunday, I was like,

(22:11):
you take the dog, I'm going to go. So yeah,
I'm gonna go on a couple of roller coasters a Universal,
and then I'm going to see two movies. And it
was a great It was a glorious day. Sounds wonderful.
It was such a nice day. But then the second
I got to Universal, I got spotted by you know,
someone that I know who works there and he was

(22:31):
and I like really tensed up, and he's like, good
to see you. I like, I'm meeting five people. He's like,
oh okay, And then he saw me. He saw me.
It was it sucked. I was having a great time.
I went to animal He saw me in line for

(22:52):
a minute. Some writing, you said in Harry Potter section
or you do you do sometimes if people are in
the area, you might catch you at your favorite writing spot. Yeah,
you might see me in the back of the Harry
Potter restaurant. Harry Potter potatoes. Harry Potter potatoes. Potatoes that
cost twelve dollars potatoes. They're just mashed potatoes. It's the
most expensive potatoes in the entire fucking world. It really

(23:14):
hurts my feelings. But you but it's you know, you're
paying for the apple. But do you like him? But
I'm guessing for you, they're like you look at that menu,
like you know what I'm gonna going with the twelve
dollar potatoes again, not like there doesn't want to try them.
There's other options. It's like a weirdly, I don't know,
they shouldn't have gone with like let's make English food
there because English food sucks, yeah, but when done right

(23:34):
like a proper I love like pies, like British pies,
like meat pies. There. What's the music sting for when
Miles starts talking about British food, I don't know. I
have to think we'll find some chamber music. But yeah,
I got I got spotted in line of minions by
the same person, by the same guy. You're still by yourself,

(23:55):
did you did you make an explanation or was this
one of those eyes where you catch eyes? And he
kept walking, man, he kevit walking. I opened my mouth
to say something and he was like, it's too late.
You're like, no, they died. It sucks too because he
was like he's a lot younger than he's like nineteen,
and he was just like walked away with He's so nice,

(24:17):
like the nicest and he he just walked away with
his braces and he's like, have you kept believing a
hack loser? You? Have you ever seen a TV show
you're supposed to just kiss some dude who's next to you, Like, oh,
it's my boyfriend, and that's how we mean exactly. I
just go with it. I just stayed in line for

(24:39):
me is and you knows right, sucks, doesn't know what
I was doing. Yeah, I have. I have like story
notes for the Minions ride. Alright, I feel like it's
too plot. Have you too much going on? There's an
adoption narrative in the Minions. Yeah, adoption narrative the premise,
what's the journey? Take give me the lab line of

(25:01):
the ride. It's too much. It's two different things. First
of all, the audience is being turned into minions. That's fun.
That should just be a ride. But there's a second
plot line where the three little girls that grew adopted
has forgotten or it seems like he's forgotten their adoption
anniversary and they're really upset. Goodness, that's the subplay. And

(25:22):
at the end of the ride, group comes out and
it's like, just kidding, I didn't forget, and they're like, yeah, anyways,
it's just if you're alone in public, that's just own it.
People normally be like, hey, that's cool. I love don't

(25:47):
movies Parasite Jojo Rabbit, Damn, it is a good double feature.
Jojo Rabbits the New take a movie He's the best
Friend where he plays hit there. It was, it was,
it was pretty good. I liked it. There was my
friend went to go see it and apparently there was
like an English guy, like an older English guy who

(26:09):
maybe had like memory problems. But as he was watching
the film, keept going that bastard. When Hitler would come
on the screen, the woman with him was like, no, honey,
it's just a film. It's right film, And he's like,
do they know what he bloody did? Yeah, and like
he took it as but it became a thing. Ever

(26:30):
first it would be like, I can't believe this. That's
why you gotta go to the movie. It's like when
I went to see Judy and one person in the
audience didn't know she died. Oh my god. But parents,
I was like, the best movie I've seen all year.
I loved it so much. And Georgia Rabbit pretty good.

(26:53):
Put is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are. I looked through this and it's all
kind of embarrassed thing. I feel like, Um, I was
doing a deep dive on Jeremy Renner's musical career, which
is one UM for fans. Yeah, for a show was
for like a character. Um, doing a lot of that
is a character just a huge fan. Well, it's sort

(27:15):
of a character. He's like this character dude who's supposed
to be Chris Cornell's son. He's Jake Cornell, but he's
not really his son. He has a bunch of money though,
it has a bunch of lofts and venice and he's
going the real estate and he loves, like, you know,
natural things and holding a mug of steaming tea with
both hands and be like, hey, a very cool. Yeah, wow,

(27:36):
I wasn't listening, but I heard you. The two hand
mug holes really just cut truly. I don't know what
that is. That's the thing when you see someone in that,
it's like substitute teacher. All right, So where are we?
How was your week? Guy? How's your week? Okay? And like,
what kind of tea is that? It's it's bone broth. Actually,

(27:57):
it's bone broth with cama mill and fuse. Yeah, a
proprietary blended mushrooms chaga rice she courticeps and lions made
with a little chaga chaga corticeps rice salt. I don't
know what chagga is. I'd say it's a mushroom that
grows in the upper upper region cold climates. Alevation. Yeah,

(28:21):
it's obviously it's fair trade though, so don't worry. Great,
it's fully fair trade. Whenever I remember I buy it,
I was BOW purchased that guy. Definitely. Bows typically bowed
before the fungus is before I remove them. Just acknowledge
their cycle. Every time I use a toilet, I bow.
I learned that when I was visiting Tibet. Never flush, yes,

(28:44):
never flush. Alright, we're gonna take another quick break and
we'll be right back and we're back. All right, let's
get some beverage updates going on. Yeah, um, first off

(29:07):
in hard Seltzer News for Local and bud Light. We'll
be stepping into the arena. So it's for Local a company.
I thought that was just a beverage like made by
some irresponsible it was. I don't know if they were
style hard to say. It's actually it's sold by Fusion

(29:28):
Projects of Chicago, Illinois. Yes, do they make like battery
acid or something. I don't know what they do. Just
accidentally it was a byproduct other like industrial process because
it was like Ohio State frat guys that first of
that's what they are. That's how the first one came out,
and that's when people were like soda and lots of booze.

(29:52):
I still never had when I missed, I missed. I
definitely missed the like peak of it when it was
really really horrible. But I I just I've I've I've
had a few looks in my time. They are they
are brain destroyers and sold destroyers. But look they're now
getting into the lighthearted Seltzer game. But this ship is

(30:14):
going to be twelve percent, which is down. Originally they're like,
this is about to be a fourteen percent like Seltzer,
but I guess twelve seems easier when you consider I
think the other ones are about like five. They're very
um and they're getting petty because they all know. Because
I guess White Claw's most popular flavor is black cherry,
they are also offering a black cherry flavor because they

(30:38):
want to let you know, truly that's my hard Selser choice.
Oh yeah, truly, truly, they're good made by Sam Adams.
I think Boston Company believe. Yeah, that's just that, and
that's why I just watch fucking Get my truly crash
my truly watch Boston m So. And then bud Light

(31:00):
has theirs bud Light Seltzer, which will early next year. Um,
and they're they're doing right there, like it's five percent,
but doing the similar thing. They will have a black cherry,
a lemon, lime, a strawberry, and mango. Mango truly, I've
had very intense Mango truly is too much, and I
do the berry, I can't. I saw the mango truly,
I was like, I think this will be good, and
I was like, this is a mango selter that I've liked.

(31:23):
I think I've been like trying to because the Mike's
Hard was really I mean, I like, something's wrong with
me for the Mike's Hard, Mango, Mike's Heart, no, just
my Mike's heart in general. I just I'm like, I need,
I need to find a different you know, it can't
be every night. You can't have a nightcap of a
mic Hard every night. Affect your skin. You start growing

(31:46):
hair where hair don't belong under your finger nails, nails,
hair kind of manicures. That just too much. Mike's Heart.
It's just like a new thing I'm doing. Uh but yeah,
I don't know Mike's Hard entering the game. They already
I have a feeling it's like anything. Probably every single

(32:08):
person who's making alcohol realizes this is the wave that
you gotta surf, so they're going to hop into it, right,
but you know I will try. The four logo is
more than any beer, right, Yeah, ridiculous. That's like quadruple
I p A. It's like a highly alcoholic wine. Yeah. Yeah,

(32:33):
what is something you think is underrated? Um? Watching movies
on planes? I love watching movies on planes. And whenever
I tell people I watched a movie on the plane,
they oh, well, and that little screen, right, yeah, that's
the screen that gives you on the plane. But I
just think it's it's a it's a great it's a

(32:56):
great viewing environment because you know, it's one of the
few places we are totally untethered from the from the
real world, so there's no opportunity for distraction. It's either
that or your thoughts. It's gonna win Outvie, because I
wat I watched Parasite on the flight over here from

(33:16):
New Zealand already. Yeah yeah, I was on the plane
and I was like, holy, this is because everyone I've
been talking about I wanted to see it, so you know,
here's a perfect opportunity. And I was so pleased and
I told my friend I'm staying with and she said,
why would you watch it on the plane? Because it
was on the opportunity the movie was on the plane.
So we've talked about the other side of this, where

(33:37):
we sort of the side with the directors and the cinephiles,
where there's the Netflix watching movies at like one point
five speed. That's bullshit. Don't don't do that. But also
like people who are like, you must see it on
a full screen like it's glory as it was intended,
I don't unless it was shot in like large format,

(33:58):
and I get that, but it does it. I don't
think it necessarily if you're only relying on the fact
that you shot it in large format, then your movies
laughing a little bit, But you know, it's I think
it's It's like so much in life. It's not binary.
If you tell people do you watch movies on the plane?
What what about screened movie screens? I can still it's

(34:18):
like having a kindle or something. And I was like, well,
I just could never read on a kindle. I love
the feel of a book. No one is stopping you
from buying a book. It's not one or the other, right,
And at the end of the day, if we've both
read the book, maybe me on the kindle and you
in the paperback version, we will still have the exact
same conversation, and I will I will have the best takes.

(34:40):
Anybody who I think he read the kindle version, right,
you can just kind of tell yeah. But but I
love that. Like on airplanes, though, it feels like the
perfect time to get a lot of just cram movies
in that you normally wouldn't have time. Blessing, and you're
I think you're more emotionally invested it, Like I find

(35:01):
I laugh harder or I'm more suitable to cry. It's
on the plane. I think something to do with the altitude.
Everything's tightened. Yeah, I remember I got off a plane.
I thought, Uh, what's the what's it called? Why him?
The Brian Preston James Franco Vehicle. Yeah, it's like this
is the greatest movie of all time? And I was
I was shouted down for that type. Yeah, well it happens.

(35:23):
You know, I think the bar is lower and I've
never you know, it's funny. A lot of times I'll
start something on Netflix and like, this is trash. I
can't watch this anymore. Never done it on airplane? Yeah,
I'll sit all the way through. Absolutely. Maybe the boy
car will get with the girl car reference there. Yeah.
Have you been able to unsee uh like your experience

(35:45):
with Why Him? Or is it still like one of
your five favorite movies? I would never watch it again.
I don't think the movie independent of that viewing experience,
holds up to scrutiny. I was gonna say, you actually
kind of have to see it on a full screen.
Is a lot of the gig Franco's performance. All right,

(36:06):
that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please
like and review the show. If you like the show,
Uh means the world to Miles. He needs your validation, folks.
