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 laugh stravaganza.
Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.
(00:25):
What is something you think is underrated? Roommates? Everybody's always
complaining about the roommates. But again, my roommates helped me
with my dog. But they're very sweet and they're also
it's also good to have roommates that are not in comedy.
Oh you guys have other lives and aren't narcissistic. Yeah. Yeah,
I feel like having roommates who aren't necessarily like part
(00:48):
of your same scene or like your friends. That's something
I never did, but like I've now known people done
that there. Well, your kids both have podcasts on this network. Yeah,
it just hasn't dropped yet or there. We're trying to
get their language skills up to one year oldest really struggling.
(01:10):
I totally agree with you, though. Yeah, it's like way
I like living with people who also like have like
a limited grasp on what you do and vice versa.
It's like being back at home with parents who are like, what,
oh that you use that in your little comedy. Yeah,
where they give you ideas because they're not just talking
about comedy the whole time, so they're like, oh, I
(01:31):
read this article about this, not just on Twitter, or
like oh, did you know this thing was invented by this?
And you're like what, there's a level of sincerity you
can't access in your life. It's great. It's that is great. Yeah,
we speaking of all sorts of orgasms. Jamie, you saw Cats?
I did? Oh okay, so wait, Paul, have you seen Cats?
(01:55):
I saw the original Cats on broad fucking Way. I
was when I was a child, and then we love
it I okay, Honestly. The only thing I remember was
like during intermission they had the like the main kingcat guy.
I don't remember any of it from that, but like
they had the main guy just sit up on stage
(02:17):
and you could like cats and you could like walk
around him and take a picture and he just like
sat still. Part of the thing that, like the cats
come into the audience. Do they do that in Broadway?
I don't remember them being near me, but they were
like all over the place because I'd seen two local
productions of it, which is I seem like I don't
(02:39):
I don't know. I would love to see a production
of Cats that was like by competent performers, because I've
seen two local ones and they were incredible, but for
probably not the right reasons. I thought you were going
to say that one a performance by cats for cats.
I would Cats. Let's see where Cats is? Okay, so okay,
so Cats is? I think. I think the new Rocky
(03:01):
Horror in terms of everyone's people will watch it at midnight.
It's so horrific to look at. But I loved it
so much. It's so good, it's so horny, there's no
One of the great things about it is that there's
no way to spoil it for anyone. You can just
talk about cats freely because the plot is nothing. It's
just cat after cat after cat coming out being like,
(03:23):
I'm the cat that does this thing, and then Idris
Elba shows up and turns them into dust and not
also kind of has nothing to do with the plot,
but Eadris Elba is the villainous cat, right and he's
giving God only knows how long it will take him
for him to bounce back from this, because he was
supposed to be James bond and now he's this cat, right,
but think he's still just permanently this cat. I'm I
(03:47):
don't know he really he People committed to the cats
at varying levels, and I I found who is the
least committed the least Oh, that's a good question. The
least committed, I would say I would probably have been
Taylor Swift and she was still pretty. I didn't even
know she was in it. She's in it. They clearly
(04:08):
had it for two days, but she was in it.
She plays like Adris Elba's like fem fatale cat. They
Harley Quinn basically basically joker yourself, this joker. But she
they wrote a song for her. There's all these great
cursed images of her and Andrew Lloyd Webber sitting down together,
and like what could they be talking about? But she's
(04:32):
She's like, I love Ada. But so she is in it,
and they like the things that they do to the
cat's bodies are very bizarre, like some cats have very
voluptuous human features and others are just cats. Um and
then like what's her name? Like unzipped her fur? I
saw that Rebel Wilson that I think is the one
that people have seen who haven't even seen them. Yeah,
(04:54):
that's why there's more but hot pants. The roaches are
also in that scene. Rebel Wilson, I would say, is
one of my least favorite cats. It's not a her thing,
it's just it's just a hard, a hard part of
the movie. And she eating roaches and she's eating roaches,
and then they zoom in on the roaches and the
(05:15):
roaches are kind of like dancers, circus dancers, and they
have top hats and they have human faces, and we
we don't like it a little. Cats eat roaches. No, well,
I mean they eat rodents, but it's not like yeah,
I don't don't I've never I don't know, like my daughter,
I don't know. I'm speaking roaches before, like just because
(05:38):
they saw a big bug and it seemed like something
fun to eat. I feel like it's more like accidental
than a like cat thing exactly. But that's like the
scene that I saw. It seemed like it was, you know,
they had a hunting method to like knock it off.
The whole thing is I think Ian McKellan committed hardest
to being a cat in the traditional he's really switching around,
(06:02):
switch around. He's going where he basically looks to cameras
like wow, You're like wow wow wow wow wow. Uh.
My favorite cat was Jason Derulo cat. He was unbelievable, committed,
harder than I've ever seen and and also on the
cat's press tour, he was like, this is genius. This
is the best fucking thing that's ever happened. And he
(06:25):
was mad. He was upset that they edited out his
ball because Jason Derulo is really into his bull Yeah,
which I know for sure because I texted no because
I went to stop de ending me. I went to
Madam Tussod's recently and they have a wax Jason Derulo
(06:45):
and the package is like yeah, yeah, like it was
clearly a part of the country and go there, children
go there, It's there, markedly package level too. The children
are it was. It was alarming. How so there was.
It started with his Instagram post where he was wearing
underwear and his he was just like had his big
(07:09):
thing hanging out to the side. I love his I
love that story. So because he like said, guys got
taken down. He fought back. He clamped back and said
where's my bulge pick? And then he also said that
that picture was candid, which if you saw it was
clearly taken by like it looked like a fashion any
Levi Witz Jr. Not a candid picture, oh Jason to ruin.
(07:34):
Um Now there there is some controversy from cats about
whether Ian mckellan's character eats his boyfriend Cat's asshole or not. Um. Well,
I don't know. Yeah, I I'll have to see it
a third time to tell you twice, and and a
(07:56):
lot of people I know, I thought twice. I really
it's confusing. The first time I think yeah, and then
the second time you're just like you just kind of
like go to this other I don't know. I saw
it in a big group the first time, in a
smaller group the second time. Don't go alone. Definitely don't
go alone, and don't go like to an afternoon screening.
It's meant to be in a group full of people
(08:17):
that are like vibrating at night. And your cat, Jennifer
Hudson is I mean, it's like, this isn't fair to her,
but she still delivers, right, she sings memories. She sings
it like four times, but then you can tell she
sings like a verse every twenty minutes and then at
(08:37):
the end you get the Jennifer like that like it's
it gets really but she like gives you a taste
so many times, and she plays the cat that like
so in the show that she's the cat that like
no one likes and you're like why, but whatever, they
just don't like her, and so like the main cat
keeps going out and being like hi, and then Jennifer
Hudson sings three words of memory and she's wearing this
(08:59):
huge coat and then she gets in her hands and
knees and crawls away and it's they do this long
shot multiple times of Jennifer Hunson crawling away in this
long jacket. You're like some of the cats were jackets.
Also others don't eat elbows, wearing closed the whole movie
until the end. At the end he suddenly isn't and
it's like put the clothes back on because he's like
(09:22):
ripped but ripped. But they're like James Bond training on
a cat. And then they gave Taylor Swift. He's like
gigantic cat titties that are human titties that are just
two of them, just two of them. When there's she's
there should have been six cats have six ties. Have
(09:44):
you ever paid cat? Or like a breastfeeding? It feels
so fucking weird. You're like my twelve year old dog.
Like now you try and pick them up, and like
part of him like doesn't come up with you. It's
like he's like all giggli all over the place. Yeah,
I feel like that's the closest I've come, but the
(10:06):
closest you've come. Um, but my my, the best cat
in the movie for me is Skimble Shanks, the railroad cat.
Some guy step. Yeah, there's a few cats that are
like professional dancers and that's why you don't know who
they are. And then there's like James Cordon and you're like, no,
(10:28):
thank you. James Cordon is giving it like a weird
amount of like he's good. And they also like clearly
let him riff and then they didn't cut it out,
Like I don't riff what you didn't cut it out?
Can you imagine? I get like letting him do it.
I'm like, he's not gonna shot up, but you don't
want to do it, but like I just like and
(10:51):
then they didn't cut it, like adding like he's riffing
on like the idea of cats, or he's like doing
joke he's doing like he thinks he's in a Jet
Apatow movie. Like he's just like he's improvising whatever. Whatever.
I like, you know, he can. I like him in
the car. I just don't like when he gets out
of the car. That's my car. Stay in the car
(11:12):
and background like musical theater or something. Yeah, and he's
also like the most despised person in Britain. People don't
like him. I don't know what the rule hated him.
They they were idiots for liking him. It's like it's
kind of like Ricky Gervais, where like they were almost
like like like the UK hated them so much that
they just came to America and started bothering USA. The
(11:34):
UK has Ricky Gervaise. Everyone, I mean everyone hates Ricky Gervaise.
What my favorite? What? I actually really loved the British Office.
But yes, but that was twenty years ago. Did you
see that Ricky Gervais tweet about Joker? He like, oh wait,
it was like so earnest and you're like, yikes, sweetie,
(11:57):
uh DEMI did you bay tweeted it? Actually, it was
just like Ricky Gervet's being like, Wow, performance of the Century. Yeah,
and me love it so much, just like, oh yes
he's a film and performance of the year. Prayer emoji
hands and he tweeted at the Joker movie Twitter account
(12:19):
too embarrassing for everybody. I feel like with with Cats,
going back to cats, do you actually think it's going
to ruin and just elbows like career because I feel
like there's so many cats in there that you can't distribute. No,
he'll be fine. He'll absolutely be fine. Like I think
the Dancer Cats were saying, we'll never see them again
(12:40):
on screen. We'll have to go to the you know,
French ballet to see them. Jennifer Hudson is going to
be in the Aretha Franklin movie show. Like literally, everyone's
going to be fine. MATS director Tom Hoover will not
be fine. He his life, his family. I respect the
(13:06):
ship out of what he did, though, because he's such
a risk. It's he created something that now like exists
in the firmament of people made fun me for calling
so many movies iconic and my look back at the decade,
and I look back at the decade, but I do
feel like this has become I kind of like it's
a cultural thing that everybody is drawing on, that is
(13:27):
in like the cultural mind firmament. I like that you
don't have to be good for that to happen. You
just have to like be weird enough. And like I
don't know, like the there's here, remember this uncanny valley
of cats. Nna have to make indies until he dies.
But I'm glad he did this. I mean, like he
started with the King's Speech, which I don't I was
(13:51):
always mad at that movie for beating Social Network. Yeah,
I was mad at it because Jamie saw twice in
theaters and I thought that was more than it deserved.
But it was just like a blah movie. And then
he made lay Miss, which I thought was like blah
and bed so like for him to go in this direction.
She made the Danish Girl, which also has not aged
(14:12):
very well. Um, and then he made I mean, of
those four cats, I think is by Farest wrongest and
history will remember. It looks like you should have been
in King's Speech. It's like this is me, and it's
like it took so much. It's also expensive looking. They
had the practical effects makeup and then they put c
(14:34):
g I on top of the practical effects makeup, and
so it's very unnerving, but it's good. And they also
like somebody was like, I figured I forget who it was.
They tweeted it, but they were like, I figured it out.
It's because they didn't give them cat noses. They were like,
and then she like she like photoshopped and gave them
like cat noses, and somebody else made them more cat
like and it looked so much better. I feel like
(14:54):
they look more cat like on stage than they do
in the movie. Yeah, because it is just like Rebel
Wilson's face. That makes sense. It's like they should we
should have done the thing that they did with like Sega,
where we just like interesting new trend where people are
like betting like a hundred and fifty million dollars on
these giant CG products, But like for some reason, they're
(15:16):
not like focused group testing. They're just stepping back a
sleep on it, give it, like show it to your
wife or whatever. You're like, what the fun is that? Yeah?
I do like that everybody pressured for the Sonic thing
to be better because it was so much better after there,
(15:36):
Like your art isn't the art we want? Yeah, you
should weird teeth like that weird human teeth. Um, well,
all right, well that this is something, this is obviously
a developing story, will be returning to overtime. Really, if
you haven't seen it, see it, see it with a
loud one who is like on the fence of whether
they want to see it, and then they will be
(15:57):
fully on board. Yeah, we what is a myth? What's
something people think is true? You? I hate this part
of you guys show. I don't participate. Everyone to participate
in this part of your show, so goofy cool. You
always say that the things behind the scenes you don't
realize before. It's like I couldn't come up with something
so fun this thing. I mean, that's half that. And
(16:20):
the reality is like I don't care. If I don't
care about something, I'm gonna be like I couldn't think
of it. Yeah, I don't care. No, that's fair. You're
not a MythBuster out here? You ever watch MythBusters? No?
Why you ever? Just do a bust of Rhyme's album
trying to a guide you back to the myth You
know who loves myth busting? According to Jai office new website,
and I find myself in opposite or a new podcast,
(16:44):
and I found myself in opposition to anything mensas in
favor up, so maybe we'll replace it, thank you. It
also is the feminism true feminism ally in the building. Uh,
get rid of that. It's silly because also there's a
myth set exists that like bring people comfort, so busting
them is like an obnoxia actually attempt at the time, Actually,
(17:08):
what's the time. It's a it's an overrated wrapped in
the form of a myth. Right is typically the construction
always see or pseudoscience. Yes, and then we had to
Okay on medicine, that's funny, all right, I'll tell you
what does work is you're candling your candle out. I
(17:31):
have really bad migraines. I used to. I don't have
them anymore because I your candle. Because of your candle,
it really helped. It's disgusting. So you're on the side
of your head with a candle sticking out of your
It's so weird. And you gotta understand, I'm not like
a holistic I don't believe in none of that ship.
I like Western medicine. I love ibprofen before bed. I
just don't give a I like eat ship And my
(17:53):
sister one day was like, because you know, I've got migraines,
and she was like, you should try this. And of
course it's not going to work for everybody, right, but
it worked for me and I was truly shocked. Look
and just in true form a myth in the form.
But it's not though. It all depends. Yeah, I think
some people. Yeah, it's like anything right if ship, I
(18:15):
think smoking blunt relieves mine? Mine, mine, it makes me,
it makes mine worse. Really, yeah, I don't think it's no. No,
I'm just saying I don't smoke just smoking weed. For me,
I have to like make sure that I'm perfectly healthy. Yeah.
I was with some friends over the break, and I
didn't realize this one person I know they like any
bit of caffeine sets off their migrants to the point
(18:37):
where they're like, I can't eat chocolate. I have MSG. Yeah,
it's like that's every human body is different. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back and we're back. What is something you think
(18:59):
is over it overrated? I'm I'm going quite literally with
this one. Five star Uber Drivers and five star lift
drivers and this is this this comes with you. There
are so many drivers out there who are great five stars.
I get it, it's a great hustle. I respect the hustle,
but I've just had way too many experiences getting into
(19:21):
a car with somebody who turns out to be an
insane like nut job, racist or like misogynist. He's trying
to get me to talk like just slimy shit about
the girls on the sidewalk and stuff in their ratings
like four point nine eight. Yeah. So I just like
I think there's maybe an epidemic of people being too
scared to give and uber driver because on one hand,
(19:44):
like you don't want to knock someone's ability to like
to like you don't want to funk up their ratings, right,
but I think some drivers are kind of shape shifters
depending on their passengers because you'll read the thing, it's
like they were so helpful and it's like, I'm sure
the slick ones, no, don't start talking some shit about
a woman's ass on the street to when you have
women in the car, right, you gotta dude in there,
and they could be like, yeah, let me loosen the
(20:06):
tie a little bit, so there yeah, they're not seeing it.
I had I had I had one just crazy experience
where I got out and it was like it was
there was this woman I could tell she was like
maybe having a night. Like I got in. She took
like a couple of minutes too long, kind of finishing
her text before we started going. I was like, oh,
that's chill, do your thing, and then she turned up
the radio super loud. It was it was like led
(20:27):
Zeppelin Whole Lot of Love, which is really funny, and
I was like, okay, Sandra, like you you you you rock.
You know what impression you're trying to give. And she
starts speeding down these like speed bumps down my street,
like hitting them hard, like where she's where. I'm like, hey,
you're you're ruining your car right now, I know what
you're doing. Uh. And then after after you know, just
(20:49):
maybe like like five minutes of that, we get out.
She turns down the radio and she looks back at
me in the rear view mirror and she goes, can
I ask you something? Why are all guys such assholes?
Why are you all assholes? And I was just like, yam,
I'm saying, yeah, we can be pretty bad me before
(21:10):
I answer, Am I a five star asshole? Effective? If
I give you five stars? Uh, there's a way to
have that conversation. I've had that conversation like, yeah, guys
are dicks, let's talk about it. But the more we
got into it, the more it was just like, oh, no,
you are the wrong one here. And she was also driving, like, um,
do you remember in Vanilla Sky when Cameron Diaz is
(21:31):
doing that, like like that crazy death ride. Like that's
truly like my conversation wasn't coming from a place of empathy.
It was coming from calm this person down crash and
her rating was again like four point nine or something,
And I'm always five Yeah, yeah, I always do too.
And that's and I'm saying, unless I there is there
(21:52):
is a part of that that I think is like
the good guy moved, like, yes, let's support this. Let's
like make sure that whatever. I think. It's so easy
to give a five star ride, let's give them all
five stars. But if you give somebody a five star
ride and they're a little bit crazy, you're passing that
hot potato onto somebody who's gonna get it, and it's
gonna explode one or you just have to say, hey,
my man, I gotta warn you man, we're drifting into
(22:12):
a four star ride here, right, and I don't want
to suck in. I'm not trying to trying to take
money out of your pocket, but this is becoming a quickly.
I mean, I'll be honest, this might be a two
star ride. To go four stars, I would have to
believe that they should not be doing this job for
the safety of themselves or others. So that's a B
(22:33):
A B plus on a B minus on a test
means you should not be driving this star. If that
is what happens, somebody takes a hundred rides, they're all
like nothing, they're all eventless, they're all five star. Then
you take a ride and it's like pretty bad and
they get a four star and it affects their rating
like nothing. I think probably maybe more nuanced rating. I
can't just say by the based on the everything I've
(22:55):
experienced on this ride that I can just distill it
down to one metric. I can do five stars for conversation,
I can do five stars for driving. I can do
three stars for the farting right, yeah, yeah, what's the
what's the wildest Uber experience you've ever had, Ton bro
I had a dude who was from Uzbekistan and he
(23:16):
was complaining that you couldn't punch women in the United States. Yeah,
he was like you like he was describing like punching
someone like his friend. He said like, yeah, my friend
is in jail because he and was gesturing punching like
he punched. He's like woman and now he's jail. And
(23:36):
I'm like right, and he's like no, not like that
at home, and I was like, Okay, thank you. Usually
I get like mostly ignorant people with terrible takes on
social issues. Like I remember like when Pride was happening. Uh,
this this French guy he was driving me and her
majesty uh through like West Hollywood and like all the
(24:00):
streets were you know, there's a bunch of closures because
the parade was happening. Was I don't understand this. They
have to have a parade. There's no straight people parade,
And I said, I'm pretty sure every parade that exists,
just like when when people I remember in high school
constantly having to educate white classmates on why there's at
(24:21):
and I'm like it's called every other network because it
already is. So that's what it's. That's do you understand
that imbalance? Never mind? L A. You get a lot
of actors, actors, cooked up actors. I've had a couple
of those that are wild or like. I get ones
to old players, like old black dudes in their fifties
who are telling me. They're like, hey, bro, they're just
(24:44):
telling me about all their like women problems. And it's
a hilarious because I'm like, you have non matured at
all emotionally in your fifth you have grandchildren and you're
talking about you're referring to like when your girlfriend is
like this hole is not you know, she wants to
get all in my ship because I'm coming home late.
I'm just playing basketball. I'm like, okay, but do you
(25:04):
never mind? I'm thank you so much. This conversation has
been entertainment. Let's talk about megs it as super producers
Sophie is calling it. Uh that is Harry and Megan
quitting their job. Is when Taco Bell got rid of
the Meximount, right, Yeah that was? Did they bring it back? Though? No?
(25:26):
You gotta look, I can tell people on Twitter all
the time. You have to order cheesy roll up ad
beef ad pico. Got it? Okay? Uh goes. So apparently
they're not just Britishy socialites, which is what I thought
the Royal family was. They are employees of the States, sir.
(25:49):
And they make those appearances that the queen's behest and
the Queen controls all their money, which is wild. But
they have a lot of money, like they are funded
by taxpayers. Uh. And they basically mentioned that or made
allusion to that in their uh you know, divorce papers
(26:12):
or whatever, like their letter explaining why they're leaving their
dear dear Queen Elizabeth Let Yes. Uh they're saying part
of their goal is to establish independent wealth. Uh. And
some people in England are saying that that's kind of
bullshit because they're they're still going to have like a
million dollar a year protection like social Security type thing.
(26:37):
Well look, I mean they're not social Security, a secret
service type thing. Oh, got it, got it right. I mean, look,
Megan should just get start acting again, you know, making
more money than you and you can. You can, you
can support your waste roll of a husband. Yeah exactly.
Also move out here, like I keep saying, so I
can hang with Harry. I'm saying we need to launch
(26:58):
the equivalent of Encino Man for Harry learning what it's
like to be human being in society and but specifically
the San Fernando Valley. Yes, and Megan is the poly
short character. It's it's weird. I should tell Harry. I'm like, hey, man,
before we entered our physical bodies, we were just souls
in the universe, and you happen to end up in
(27:20):
that body and I ended up in this one. Who
knows that you could have been me? All right? Because
you guys were born the same day, same day, exact
same day. So how about that? Hello Harry, Yeah, hello,
a couple of things. So the brother, oh no, he's
like that makes me rather uncomfortable. So people the comments
(27:41):
on Instagram are shockingly mean to Megan and saying she's
like a black widow who's oh my god, really the world? Oh,
I don't know if the words black widow, but like
that seems to be just the idea that she like
kills families. I wouldn't be surprised because even in like
the tabloids, just like zodic DNA, oh yeah, and then
there was another one. She's like straight out of almost
(28:04):
Compton yes, and I was like, yeah, that was face.
That was the headline like after their engagement was announced. Yeah,
so those are real. Yeah, those are So She's been
just endlessly shipped upon for being different, not adapting to
royal culture, wanting privacy, uh, for being not white, right,
(28:25):
not white person from America. Like there's genuinely racists, like
openly racist stuff on social media, and then like coatedly
or you know, implicitly racist stuff in the mainstream media.
So that's worth keeping in mind. Why she wants out
of being like hounded by the media, and Harry has
PTSD from his mother being literally killed by being hounded
(28:48):
by journalists. Like that's she was speeding away from the
paparazzi when her car crashed, and like was dealing with
all sorts of ships. So I don't I'm not as
mad at them as as the royal watchers are in England. Yeah,
that all makes sense. Cool. I mean I don't know
(29:08):
why we still give a ship. Why are we their royalty?
It's an absurd, antiquated notion that we pay attention to him.
That's part of it that we perpetuate it by going
what are they up to? Yeah, and then we if
we all just went like, who gives a ship they
don't do anything. They suggested that Megan's avocado consumption is
(29:30):
responsible for mass murder. Her charity cookbook was portrayed as
somehow helping terrorists. Also, you know, it's fun fact the
exotic DNA line comes from Boris Johnson's sister who works
at The Daily Mail. Yeah, that's who wrote that. Well,
his background as being a conservative journalist and overall just
a piece of shit. I think, yeah, yeah, I just
think of a rose. You never used your thrones, the
(29:54):
ones you loved abandoned you from the office. When David
brent sings the whole song about then rushing through the
Paris night, they hounded you lust anyway, uh, good bye
English Road, good night, my sweet Princess. That's what David
brand sings at the I think, what is it? The
(30:15):
training episode? The Training episodes one of my favorite, and
then he starts singing about aliens coming down and all
kinds of ship man, one of the great episodes of
TV of all time. Superroducer Around Hosni wanted me to
emphasize that, in her opinion, he has Harry still has
PTSD from watching his mother be literally murdered by his grandmother,
(30:37):
which is a conspiracy, you know, like subscribe to What
kind of fucking spicy xenophobic ship was Queen Elizabeth saying
to him like in the beginnings, because you know, you know,
Grandmother's like, there's no they take the break off if
they really need to get through to you, like they
will damage your whole soul with some ship. She's like
(30:59):
what you're saying, I m Harry and you're her right,
And I'm like, she's just lovely, she's charming, she's so
excited to meet you. I find her hair to be
a bit rough. Ye, what grandma talking about? I mean again,
I'm not surprised from someone who's literally the Queen of
England if and your grandma, if she had some old
(31:19):
school takes on by racial because I mean what she
was with doughty Fayette before that, she could have been
her stepdad, you know what I mean? Yeah, And Mohammad,
I'll fight. He put up so much money trying to
figure out what the funk happened. Princess Michael of Kent
wore an overtly racist brooch broach Michael Man, Uh yeah, wait,
(31:40):
what was it brooch brooch. It was a like black
face thing, like a what the you'll get the funk
out of here? Man? And also I I said that
the mainstream media was less overtly racist, but a BBC
host compared the couple's newborn baby to a chimpanzee on Twitter.
So good group over there. Yeah, I don't know if
(32:03):
this has been said before, but I'm going out. I'm
gonna say something very brave. I think we should cancel
the British monarchy. Sorry said it. Yeah, they're canceled. I
don't think that's that controversial to take. I think, and
I haven't even read history. You're not a n colonialsm man.
(32:24):
Give it my favorite form of architecture, imperialism into that.
Oh yeah, well that's why I live here. Really quickly,
I just want to tell this story about New York
State Assemblyman Brian coleb Uh. As I alluded to earlier,
he drove his state issued SUV drunkenly into a ditch.
(32:45):
And this is where it gets funny. When the tow
truck driver arrives, not the police. Tow truck driver arrives first.
He comes off top. According to Scoville, who is the
tow truck driver. Cold stood up, put his hands up
and said, my wife was driving. He then said, you
know how women drive. Scobell said, I did not see
(33:07):
anyone else around the vehicle. Cold allegedly told him no,
allegedly told him that his wife was quote up in
the house. I don't know what that means. So anyway,
when the house, when the police deputy got there, yeah,
he blew up point one six breta liser, so you
(33:28):
know that that. They were like, okay, it was your wife.
Then he resigned on Friday. It was just like, okay,
I kind of suck that up, the idea that you
could go. I don't know, man, that's that's interesting energy
where you're like, he'll get it. Hold up my hands.
My wife was driving. You know how women drive? Where
is your wife, sir? Up in that house. We're in
(33:51):
a field. We were in a ditch. My man, she
crashed the car and was like you see her, man,
She's like doctor, man, she zapped herself to the house.
She's a coward. You know, she's your sponsibility. Arrest her? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know, arrest the system. Uh. He's still happily married.
(34:13):
His wife's about to resign. Yeah right, I'm pretty sure
we've spoke about this pizza a t M before, but
the news popped up about it again, and I'm trying
to really figure out if I think the pizza a
t M is a good idea. I know, like there's
the Sprinkles cupcake a t M that you see like
at the Grove and ship. I've seen that. Yeah, the
(34:33):
America or whatever. It doesn't make sex plan pizza. Pizza
a t M. It's been. It's been on college campuses,
most recently at the University of North Florida UM. But basically,
for ten bucks, you put your money in, five minutes later,
a pizza comes out. Now. But however, the ship is
like the size of like a fucking room. It's like
(34:54):
a but I don't know, it's actually I mean, it's like, well,
I don't know. It's a big ass machine, a machine
attached to a brick up. But the whole thing is
like whoever like operates the machine. You have to make
your dough. You have to assemble all the pieces in advance,
put them like in the different refrigeration compartments, and then
when it's or like then when it's actually punched in
and ordered then that like uncooked pizza goes so it's
(35:17):
heating thing and then it pops out the hot pizza.
There's better ways. I just don't know. I mean, I
guess it's fun, right, Apparently can I see a picture
of this? Yeah? Apparently, like people on the word on
campuses is campuses is that they love it? Now? I
don't know, because to me, Little Caesar's is also a
pizza a t M. They got hot readies and they're
(35:39):
basically five bucks. You don't have to touch a button.
I feel like I don't know. I mean, like a
lot of a lot of colleges, I feel like I
have a tendency of acquiring really expensive ship to justify
charging more people for college. And then they're like I
had a ton of stuffic college, and I'm like, I
don't want this ship, Like what was like waste them
(36:00):
any They would really push They would just push random
products on you, like they were pushing the naked juices.
They would push those at my college, and they would like, yeah,
quote unquote, but then you would just spend through your
meal plan faster and then and then you would have
to put more money on it. I don't know everything related.
I mean so much. They have like colleges have like
(36:21):
all these like entertainment shows that nobody goes to. I
know because I performed there. They like spend so much money,
like like all of like the you know, ra a
s get like a like a little budget to like
buy snacks and stuff for their meetings that nobody comes
up to, and they're just like they have bowls and
bowls pretzel bites and you know, and then things like
(36:43):
all out of the bag. I don't know, it looks good.
It looks good, like, yeah, there's so much. I mean,
I don't know. Man. I I feel like if I
was in college and this was a thing, I would
probably get it. But yeah, I'm just looking at it.
I'm like that sounds I'm just twenty four hours. Is
(37:04):
it like the good thing that you would get a
pizza at like three in the morning until that ship
is sold out? Though? Is it like a microwave heating
in there? You think? So, it's actually pretty small considering
like it's making a bunch of pizzs. Probably some kind
of like how many pizzas can it can it make?
I don't know, Yeah, before some guy has to come
and refill his handmade pizzas and like, is it like
a pepperoni option? You know what I mean? There's it
(37:26):
just stress options, I think. But again, this is where
I'm like, it sounds like, it sounds like fun, but
I don't know if like if I put my mind
myself in the mindset of me being like nineteen and
hungover as fuck, I part of me would just eat
a bunch of ship from sevens. I was like, I
would just go to seven eleven where the pizzas also
and what if you're in your know, But the thing
(37:46):
is that you know you put this in, like you
put this in like the residence in the dorms, like
you just you just stroll out of bed and like
go get a freaking pizza, yeah, or just delivering you
don't have to like leave. And yes that there are
I guess it depends on some places that are open up,
but not like a lot of places. A lot of
colleges there in the middle of nowhere, so they're they're
all there college town food though, like half like when
(38:09):
I when I'm called town, I'm like, where do they go?
Where do they go? You do insomnia cookies? No, I
would let myself do that once or something that's like
cookies they delivered to your dorm what they just deliver
hot cookies to your dorms called insomnia cookies. Where was
this in Boston? It was impossible. I think it's like
around though. Yeah, they have a New York. They have
(38:30):
New York. Yeah, I would just get I remember, like
my friend went to u Vo. We go to Doko
just like these nasty ass cow zones. I'll get the
most meat bomb zone. They call them zones, you know
what I mean. There's like apostrophe zone, most meat zone brack. Anyway,
shout out to college campus Foods. Also shout out to
Oscar Meyer who is hiring hot doggers and I don't
(38:53):
know what a hot dogger was. So you get to
basically drive the You drive a Oscar Meyer Weenie mobile
around for it's like a one year gig, full time.
It's a job longer than I wanted it. Full time
job for one year, okay, And basically what you do
is your part company spokesperson. So like if there's any
(39:14):
kind of the event, they'll be like, hey, Jamie, you
gotta take the weiner will bile down to the cow
state long Beach campus real quick to do an event on.
You do media appearance, as you do charity events, you
do brand promotions, uh quote meet M E E T
and greets, pending out whistles. And then and then also
(39:35):
this is where it gets a little bit involved, pitching
coverage ideas, pitching coverage ideas to local news outlets content.
I mean, I feel like where the Weener Mobile goes,
the news follows. I worked at a hot promotional hot
dog truck for a while, but it wasn't I got fired.
But in college I worked for the StubHub had a
hot dog truck for a while, just park outside of
(39:57):
like basketball games and give away free hot dogs. I'd
be like, I have a free hot dog? Have you
heard a stuff up? And they'd be like no, like
fuck you and okay. And then one day I tweeted
funk this hot dog stand and then my damn, but
the Wiener Mobile, that's cloud. The Wienermobile has also you
would respect Okay, So wait, get this right. If I'm
(40:18):
interviewing you, I'd say interesting, Um, Jamie, I've I've asked
around because you know, everyone in the free promotional hot
dog industry talks and talking to my friend Craig at StubHub.
It was seven years ago. Okay, so you know so
you know the incident. I'm sorry, no, continue, No, it
sounds like you do. You said, funk this hot dog?
It was seven years ago. Yeah, so, and you know,
(40:38):
how am I to trust you with the Oscar Myyron brand.
I wasn't. I didn't have any I didn't know what
my mental health issues were seven years ago. I was
a kid. I didn't really And and also I would
say that the stuff, no disrespect to your colleague, but
lacks the prestige that the wienermobile brings, which I would
I would never in my life. You know, I'm a
(40:59):
I'm a brand. I'm a brand. Cout I see a weirdomobile.
I followed, Well, you know what, hold on, let me
get on the phone. Oscar. Yeah, we founder, but apparently
it's like twelve there's twelve open spots. Hi. Sorry, excuse
me what I say about you calling the Oscar? It's
Mr Meyer. I'm sorry, Mr Meyer. What's something from your
(41:24):
search history that's really about who you are? Yeah? As
you know, I normally don't have much lately, right, not
using Google off the grid, Although I was shown to
the library like a human. Yeah, it looks up the
information there. Yeah, and I using a card catalog system. Yeah.
It's a lot of VPNs and borrowing other people's security numbers,
(41:46):
going to the library, getting the information, making sure it's
not traceable in any to anyway to me. But recently
I have been doing English to Spanish. I've been speaking
a lot of Spanish, and so my Spanish goes pretty smoothly,
and then I get to a word I don't know,
and I don't know how to like go around it.
So I'm just moving along and then I go uh uh,
(42:07):
and then I look it up. And then so the
other day I was speaking in a guy goes, hey, man,
are you also from Guatemala. I was hanging out with
my friend of mine, da look at your pronunciation that.
Somebody was like, are you from Guatemala? Yeah? And I
think he was just busting my chap, like, yeah, but
from you didn't know the word for nous that right?
(42:32):
I was last year when I was in the hospitals
in Puerto Rico and a nurse came in and a
couple of times it's happened and they would go sus no,
but I'd be like, alright, I'm doing it wasn't a
reference to your long Jesus like hair. The hair, and
then I had like a little more maybe facial hair
than ye Linnen underpants on with a six pack. I mean,
(42:56):
I didn't like the bed, so I was kind of
up on the wall, strapped in. Yeah, do a little workout.
I grabbed these two pegs as I could come get anything.
It's great, it's really good for your shoulders. What's the
word you got? You had to look up though, just
for the recor it's just anything. It's usually like the
like the verb for something, and then the tents that it's. Yeah.
(43:20):
So if I'm like, oh, how do I say do
you need? I can I necessary that? But then I'll
be like, wait, how do I say, I'm I'm going
to look or something like that. Boy, uh look for see.
You would have known that if you watch Searching. All Right,
(43:44):
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back
and we're back. Let's talk about are you guys writing
on your checks yet? Oh? Yeah? Yeah? Really like today
(44:11):
I'm just sat here for everything with checks. Man, it
doesn't matter how much it's for. It sucks because some
places don't take them. Though. Now I have heard I
haven't written had to write the date I think on
anything yet, but I have heard people complaining about forgetting
to change it to what do you mean, like from
(44:34):
two thousand nineteen and then there are some forms that
have to zero one blank. Oh yeah, uh so problem. Well,
but that was like this thing, right that was going
around around New Year's I remember getting I was on
some chain email from a random aunt or uncle being like,
gotta write all the way out in your checks because
(44:55):
you never know, someone could change a date from one
one twenty to on one one and then they could
cash it in later. It's it's all like based off
this idea that because it's twenty now you can alter
the years and things like that. But I mean, while
I understand the logic of it, like many of the
people who are like in the consumer protection like scam
(45:17):
watch industry or like this, really, I mean, there's a
lot worse things to be worried about than this, because a,
as you know, checks aren't being used as often as
it should be doing h and also yeah damn um
and then that like number tampering on a check is
even more it's like very uncommon that like people are
(45:41):
doing that. But I think cause you catch it immediately,
right yeah, And I think also right that it would
be I think the second someone can tests it, they'll
be like, you know, it's not what this was. Um.
And also I think but a lot of the experts
are saying it reminds them of like this Y two
K thing because the changing of the decade and the
number change is fuel. It's like it's just makes enough
(46:03):
sense to get people like all you know, a flutter
over it new number. Anxiety just have so much change
for our brain is an age dependent thing? Or is
this something we're gonna outgrow as a society where we
just stop saying, wow, can you believe how it's getting
dark so quickly? How man, do you believe it's already
a new year? I can tell you that I have
(46:24):
started saying, so I don't I don't know if that
now hear me out people who I said it on
this show and people were like, actually because of like
the way, uh the planet is tilted this year. Actually,
I don't think it was that. I think it was
just like where we were in the period when we
sprung back, it was getting darker, a little bit earlier
(46:47):
than it was in the past. Fall back yeah, whatever,
bring forward, yeah, spring back, respect spring back. I respect
the Equinoxes, especially the gyms you do you always have
because they give to dom. Trump wasn't Equalox. I was
getting it do Trump and it was like it's um Ross,
the owner of the Dolphins, and he also has a
(47:08):
major investor in Equinox. And then I think soul cycle, Yeah,
and how did that go? So are all the sole
cycles out of business? YEA tumbleweeds across the arib just
landscape worked again, lonely bikes with the faint sounds of E.
D M pumping in the background. You know what's cool
is to see a tumbleweed in the wild, Like actually,
(47:30):
so I was. I saw one up in the hills
that was so fucking big. People were enormous, having gated yeah,
and I was like, this isn't a fucking tumble and
I looked. I'm like funck just like all sticks and twilet.
I saw I saw one on the highway that ways
had registered as an object in the road, Like yeah,
(47:53):
people were like, steer clear of this tumbleweed. But it
sounds like seeing like a coyote chasing a roadrunner. It's
like I didn't think that that was a real thing. Yeah,
like I knew it was, but like my brain is
like still, like like I expect to see that as
much as I expect to see quicksand, which is not
a real Yeah. I think the first time I saw
(48:14):
tumbleweeds was like in the desert somewhere when I was
like maybe fourteen, and I tripped out. Yeah, I was like,
no fucking I'm from Nevada, so I saw tons of them. Yeah,
all your friends growing up were tumbleweeds. Many yeahs would
like a long I get ready to kick. Uh all right,
(48:43):
that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeys, please
like and review the show. If you like the show,
uh means the world to Miles. He needs your validation. Folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will
talk team Monday. Bye.
