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
laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
(00:22):
the Weekly Zeitgeist. Please welcome, visit to a sunny You're
just me and my Jenko's. Hey, yeah, you are in
full Jenko and that's great to see anticipating something about. Yeah,
there's something super nostalgic about that year. What a year,
(00:46):
What a time to be alive? That is when I
was in all cross color Jenko. Carl can I you know,
good old days, Remember when you all got the Jenkos
with like the cool patch that wasn't it would be
like the skater or like the weird creature and you'd
be like, yeah, these are these are cool? Maybe wearing
(01:07):
Jingos too. Yeah, the Jinko on the Jingo would be
wearing Jingos. It's like an sketch out here of I
um embarrassing only have an an m C short tattoo
and not a cool one. What yeah, dogs, I'm so
(01:27):
embarrassed about my tattoos. I have the m C sret
would sketching of a fish like a carving, you know,
for like a stamp. And then I have I think
I've talked about it before, but I have Starry Night
Van Goes Starry Night on my lower back, but just
the sky. You are representing freshman dorm room wall as well,
(01:49):
so you have you have a van Go tramp stamp.
Mm hmm. It's always an interesting conversation before sex with someone. Hey, listen,
you're gonna see some stuff back there. It's not what
you think, but it's not what you want, so you
think it's not what you want. None of the I
(02:10):
do think that college dorm room art is under it.
It is a perfect encapsulation of like a you know,
an averaging of the zeitgeist of like over the course
of twenty years. It's it's not not anything to be
ashamed of. I would say, I think college dorm room
art we we give it a hard time because we've
(02:31):
all been that person who has those posters. But we
had those posters for a reason. I wonder college students
let us know. But I feel like the college students
now degree their dorm like a real apartment. No, yeah, probably,
I'm I'm probably dating myself. I remember like when I
(02:51):
first walked and I walked into my first dorm, I
just started crying because it was so fucking disgusting already
you walked in and it was already just like an astra. Yeah.
I was like, I'm gonna like not have any skin
after cleaning this room, Like yeah, just from all like
the ly salt White ship. Yeah, that's a great question.
(03:12):
I would I would be curious to hear like what
held over from when I was in college and like
what is knew what what went away? Because Bruce Lee?
Does everybody still have Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali posters?
And and by everybody I mean a bunch of dude bros.
And Quentin Tarantino moving scarface. Of course, Godfather Rappers had
(03:36):
all the Woo Tang albums on my wall. Yeah, Godfather
for sure. The first time I got really high, I
was looking at my Godfather poster on my dorm room
wall and the cats started to move. And that's how
I knew I did not like weed. Not for me.
(03:56):
I can't be the only one who had a cardboard
cutout of James t life size. I mean the only
one maybe in this on this podcast, but for certain
not the only one. Definitely not the only one in Florida,
definitely not. What about the Marylyn and Row cut out
or black and white Marylyn Monroe with like the red
lipstick or red rose. You all know what I'm talking about.
(04:18):
Little Schindler's list effect on the Marilyn Monroe Monroe. We
do like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history? Something that I searched recently was well, okay,
(04:41):
I mean gold Price program was something that I searched
a few days ago, obviously very important. Crischell Stouse or whatever.
From selling Sunset. Now here's the thing. I'm not a
big reality TV head. My husband loves Selling Sunset. So
now I just like I'm the person that I'm watching
(05:01):
something and doing a full like Wikipedia deep dive about
who they are at the same time. Clearly you didn't
do that while watching Lost of Spookies, which is good.
But then I have, like, you know, a bunch of
other ship I guess probably Rezzi is always up. I
have a Google search for Michael Stipe up, you know,
(05:23):
just kind of class. What's what's Mike's I don't think
I've ever heard him referred to. Was Mike Snipe well,
he lives in my friend's building, and I was in
my friend's apartment going to visit her, and I thought
that I saw him and it could not have been
more opposite than what he actually looks like. So then
I was like, do I have no idea as to
(05:43):
what Michael Stipe actually looks like? Turns out I had
no fucking clue. So what did you What did you
expect versus what it was? Because I have this guy
that I see at Trader Joe's who I'm convinced is
Michael Stipe, But I second guess every now, and when
I kind of look closer, I think, like, in my mind,
(06:03):
I know he's bald, but in the moment, I was like,
he's not bald because there's something about him like he
and Moby could potentially get like smushed together as being
like bald white guys that wear glasses. Even though Moby
has a bunch of like insane tattoos. Now, so he's
very recognizable. I don't know, shout out his restaurant here
(06:27):
in l a Little Pine. That's very funny to me
that Moby got a bunch of tattoos? Is Michael? How
is the height wise That's always something that I always
top of mind for you. You know, you think that
I would know, and I'm going to look it up
for you right now. I guess the only other tab
that would kind of be like inside into my brain
is Hippopotamus attacks. That's the other tab that I have
open currently. You don't have to look it up. I
(06:48):
was just curious if he struck you as taller or
shorter than you expected when you The gent that I
saw in person was probably like five ten, And now
that I'm looking it up, Michael Stipe is five nine,
So I wasn't far off. Do you know kind of
car you drive? Sorry to ask, I don't think he
(07:10):
drives a car, Michael. You think Michael Stipe? Guy, I'm
telling you next, I'm gonna I'm gonna take a picture
of this guy who's his double ganger. Did I see around?
He lives in New York. He's like he's like the
personal state. Sorry, I'm raist, no, but I but like,
(07:35):
when you are a bald white man of a certain stature,
you could be Michael Stipe. You could be Jason Statham,
you could be Moby, you could be you know, there's
a whole you could be Mr. Clean. There's a whole
laundry list. Yeah, okay, that makes me feel bad. And
I do suspect that the person that you were mistaking
for Michael Stipe like chose that lane was like to
(07:57):
be a Michael Stipe bald That's gonna be my lane
that people, you know, because because you gotta you can't
just create your own white guy space. Because whole vibe
was like I'm wearing like an old vaporized T shirt
and I got like this shitty classic car that like works,
but I'm not trying to front like it's fancy, but
(08:18):
clearly it's catching your eye because it's older and like
just being like like moving like a ghost. And he
had like a big Adam's apple and I'm like, this
that's very wouldn't I would expect him to? Like I also,
was it like a authentically burnt out tea or was
it something that was bought at like Max Fields. It
looked the vibe felt authentic to the point I was like,
(08:41):
this could be Michael Stipe because it just felt like
this wasn't like this wasn't really overdone because remember me
one time I saw you know, like yeah, it's Halloween.
I'm doing an r em cost dude, what's your problem?
(09:02):
Like to Michael Stipe, I don't know, but it's like
the same thing. One time I saw Diane Keaton out
and I said, look at this Diane Keaton cosplay looking mother.
I was like, this person is trying to do Diane
Keaton with the hat and the glasses and everything. And
then I look close, I'm like, oh, ship, that's that's
the real deal. And then it so I have those
moments too, or I'll be dismissive of the real thing
(09:24):
because I'd be like you, look at you attempting this
other problem. It's jarring when you see someone that has
a signature look and you see them out in the
wild in the signature look. I saw Billy Porter at
the airport, and initially I was like, Wow, that guy
is dressed exactly like Billy Porter. And then I was like, oh, no,
it's actually just Billy Porter. He's the only person wearing
(09:46):
completely crystal jeweled sneakers and like a gorgeous hat that
is like high and tilted and looked stunning very early
in the morning. His hand motions are suggesting this hat
is taller than any heat I bet it was. It
was insane, Yeah, like a b Lincoln tool. No way
(10:06):
it could. I bet. I bet when they sat in
the airplane, it was touching where the lights in the
And I don't see him playing that either. He'd be like,
I need a new seat because I'm not taking my
hat off and it's touching the air condition or not? Right?
Do we discuss this before one Diane Keaton and her
signature look came up the question of like, are there
other actors who have just been like, ah, this is
(10:28):
what I look like, Like this is kind of how
I dress, and this is how I'm gonna addressing all
my movies. And that's just like they come with the wardrobe. Yes,
I can say firsthand. Jeff Goldbloom, Yeah, he's on he's
on Search Party this season, and like how he dresses
that you you would compliment him on something and he like,
(10:50):
these are mine, Like everything I hear is mine, and
you say you're like, oh, the like compliment like his rings,
I'm like, oh, I love your rings. Like you know,
costumes really hit it out of the park or whatever.
They're all just like his own, his own stuff. I mean,
(11:12):
he's a very jazzy dresser. Yeah, and he just you know,
he has zany style and I think that he has
been another person to like the Jeff Goldbloom style is
now how you see him on and off screen. I
feel like Andy Garcia also, that's like my vibe with him.
(11:32):
I feel like just always suit yeah, like or like
on vacation like rich person vacation with linen on I
was gonna say linen and like a hat. Yeah. Yeah.
Like there's like a soccer player, this Bulgarian soccer player
named Dimitar Berbatov, and he was once told he looked
like Andy Garcia, and he said he devoted his entire style,
(11:53):
like his whole wardrobe is now informed by Andy Garcia.
Because that's very funny. You kind of look like Andy Garcia,
who's twenty years older than I. Don't feel like Gabrielly
Glaciers always looks the same. Okay, yeah, that's definitely yeah,
he has a style signature look yeah. Yeah, But we
should circle back to hippo attacks because I'm sure everybody
(12:14):
is thinking about those. I think Sup producer beccar Ramos
mentioned that there are there's a TikTok about hippo attacks
going viral. There are right now. Yeah, we were looking
it up because it was on an episode of like
I Survived Death or whatever, I guess some podcasts that
my friend listens to, and we were all talking about
this guy who survived this insane hippo attack. And when
(12:38):
I see hippo's I want to just like cuddle with them.
It looks so cute and sassy baskets. Well you know
that they're like so fucking the most deadly creature in Africa.
I think it's wild. And also there mouths. I think
(13:01):
they have like a two thousand pounds like job crush. Yeah.
The eyewitness testimony that hippo attacks involves people being bitten
in half a lot of the time, which you don't
hear that about sharks even though right, well, sharks don't
mean to eat us. Yeah, where hippos are like I'm
coming for you, like I thought you were a seal.
(13:24):
Yeah right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's on. And they'll
wave their little butts, think their tails just like shoot
ship out in like many directions. That's like the one
thing I remember seeing in a nature documentary. Ship fans.
I wish metal man, Yeah, I would like that. That
would be pretty cool. That would be a great way
to you know, you don't You don't need a receptacle
(13:47):
to take it away from you because you have one
built in that just fires it across the Yeah, yeah, Blake.
What's something you think is overrated? Overrated hair on men's heads?
And I've been thinking about, like my hair like it's
kind of it's creeping in the bag, it's creep in
the front a little bit. I think I have a
little why, I think of a couple of years left
(14:09):
on it. But I've been thinking about, like, oh, when
my hair goes, I'll probably shave my head, you know,
and like a beard or something. But I do from
I can go hair here, oh and then TRANSPLANTT D
I Y style onto the top of my Please don't
I Y. Your hair bloks all right, comb up, comb
over from the bottom of the face, all the way around,
(14:30):
just like I like that rapid cocktail. Well, you'll need
an ear hole. However, which is the one thing that's
stopping me from doing that is the lack of symmetry. Yeah,
I'm sorry. Can you guys repeat that. It's like I
can't say anything to you the way you look. I
can't say ship to you. But yeah, like from people.
(14:51):
I think it's one of those things where it's just
a thing that men like think about more than anyone
else does, where when I see like a guy with
a shaved head or something, I'm not like, ah, you know,
it's like, oh, that's just a guy that's like John
there's a Lee Yes, just black October one and it's
(15:15):
time to get fucked up seeing all his favorite songs
around the fire. No. Yeah, I like to remember when
I was losing my hair. I remember the moment I
caught onto it. It was in the reflection of a
of a metallic elevator door, like I was like, yo,
what's with the corner of my hairline? And I remember
(15:38):
going in. I remember I was in Japan at the time.
I remember asking like my relatives, my uncle, he was like,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's just going
couldn't even give me the and but my and all
the men in my you know, because you you you
inherit the hair trades from your mother's side, all of
them are bald. So I've been knowing since like ten
years old, since I knew that was it there like
(16:00):
welcome to the show, like you're on your way kid,
And I remember Monk was like, so I guess so
I guess he made a joke. He's like, oh, I
guess you really are your mom's kid. You're not adopted,
was the way he tried. So there was good news there. Yeah,
rest his soul. Thank you. It is interesting because I
would never think of you, not now that it's a
negative thing, but I would be like, oh, Miles has
(16:20):
the right head, you know what I mean? Like I'm
not I would never be like, oh, Miles is a
bald gentleman, or my Miles is a guy without hair?
You know? Yeah, yeah, thank you like your Miles. Yeah,
things things I haven't thought of. But yeah, you know again,
I'm always raising my fist to the guy. I'm like,
did they have to figure out a COVID vaccine before
(16:40):
a hair restoration bill? Really? I thought you meant in
pride with like bald solidarity, but you mean like raising
your fist to the sky. Check I think Miles a
COVID vact. Correct me if I'm wrong. A COVID vaccine
for bald people? Is that what you're saying? That too,
that we will here at the earth. Yeah, A lot
(17:01):
of people don't know that we are breaking that on
today's episode, But the COVID vaccine doesn't worry if you're
bald whose which is why I haven't left the house
in seven months. What you think is underrated? Underrated? And
I'm almost sad that super Booster AO Hostni is not
here for me to hear me say this. But F
(17:22):
one Drive to Survive and I also added a note
here honestly, probably not underrated, but I just started watching
it and it rules. That show is amazing. If you
have not started watching F one Drive to Survive on Netflix,
it does not matter if you're a fan of racing
or not. It is the dopest show. And now I'm
and now I'm deep into F one. It's the battle
(17:45):
and the season just ended too, and yeah, season season
three just ended and no, no, the last one season. Yes,
the last F one season and contramired in controversy very much.
So oh my goodness, Oh my gosh, but the show is.
The show was just so well done. I also love
how they have such contempt for Netflix, Like while they're
recording it, they're like, oh, it's you again. Okay, can
(18:06):
you guys get exactly can you guys get out? Of
here when we're having a serious conversation, it's like, right,
it's spectacular, shout out total wolf. Is there so a
question I'm hearing people in sports media talk about a lot,
is uh, whether the like whether this strategy that has
worked so well for F one of like doing a
really you know, it's something that HBO kind of did
(18:29):
with hard knocks, or they would follow a team in
the preseason, but like doing that for the entirety of
a season so that you get not just like a
single team's preseason, but the entire season with all the
players and all the different Like is that there was
a rumor going around that they were going to do
(18:50):
the same thing to professional golf, and that did not
sound very interesting to me. Like, I mean, I feel
like F one is it worked for HAF one because
it was a underrated sport. It was a sport that
was like very exciting, very popular around the world and
just hadn't really broken through the way it should have
in America. But I feel like golf, You're not going
(19:13):
to get me to give a funk about that if
I think that's the thing though, right, Like golf is
also clearly has enough of an audience that it's in
the you know, generating millions of dollars. But I feel
like with golf, like the joy the people, the way
people get into watching like the PGA Tours because they
golf themselves and they have a firsthand understanding of like
(19:34):
what they're seeing and how different like the skill that
it takes to be a professional golfer and being like,
oh man, that was great. I don't know if that
translates like yeah, it maybe it can if you can
find a way for people to be like actually, like
you know, every stroke matters. But I don't think the
cash of characters are as interesting as like Formula one,
where they can get people fully invested. Because I took
(19:56):
a Formula One. To me, it was like it's guys
in helmets driving in a circle. Yeah, and then that
was my that was my view. Then I zoomed in
through this show and I was like, oh, funk, okay,
it's it's got all kinds of fun ship going on
deeply yeah yeah yeah again, as I'll say, it's the
embodiment of malignant global capitalism very much. Frank about like
what complete cars emblazoned with earth fucking companies and like
(20:20):
human rights washing races and like fucking Azerbaijan. Yes, that's it's.
It's definitely And especially in season three, which which Stephanie
and I are halfway through right now, the way that
they react to COVID being like we just really want
to get back out there and race is all like, oh,
y'all really don't give a shit about hubanity or society
or variant or anything. Extremely insulated. But to your point
(20:42):
about like, uh it working for other sports, I think
the fact that it is so small that there are
only twenty drivers in the entire like sports of F
one definitely helps in terms of being able to concentrate
on certain people, Like you couldn't do this for basketball,
where you know, or football or any team sport with
a bunch of players. To be a team, it would
have to be a team. Yeah, one team would be
(21:04):
all the people you could you could represent. But also
and in comparing it to golf, like you know, you're
just you're right, like F one is with for lack
of better term, extremely high octane, like it's exciting. It
is incredibly exciting when it gets down to the actual
like racing part of it, whereas golf you're right, it
would be kind of hard to get me to give
a shit about each stroke. So I think that one definitely. Yeah,
(21:27):
it fits into a very very thin window of like
not quite understood, but also small enough to cover all
of it. I'm gonna say the NBA, if you could
get buy in from the fifteen best players in the
league and you're just following the fifteen best players in
the league and like their teams, and you know, usually
(21:48):
one of the fifteen best players in the league is
going to win the title, you know, I think that
would actually work pretty well. It would somehow make basketball
and more popular, you know, and and you know they're
they're all about their global brands so very much. Just yeah,
if they have any eyes on you know, not being
beholden to other countries with their you know, uh broadcast
(22:11):
rights and things like that, maybe you get a show
out there they pull other people in, but they do
it with uh. In the Premier League, Amazon does a
show called All or Nothing, and this season they're following Arsenal.
So like all of the banter around, like the fans
is like I can't wait to see that, Like, you know,
we have a great game or a ship game or like,
can't wait to see what this looks like behind the scenes,
(22:32):
because like they're in the locker room, they're in the
training that's like you see them eat, I think, and yeah,
it shows like that. I think have to do a
good job of, you know, demystifying ship and getting you
to care. A Rugby one would probably be good for
the US interesting because that ship is ridiculous, super athletic
to watch, and it's adjacent enough to American football that
(22:55):
I think they'll be like, holy shit, man, is this
fucking ruggers. I feel like the NFL is probably like
keeping that, like they're killing any contract because they're like, oh,
this is kind of like a more fun version of ours.
It's like an electric car r exactly who killed the
Rugby drive to survive Ugby sevens? All right, let's take
(23:17):
a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're
back and alright, so it's time for predictions. Like I said,
we nailed them last year, and uh did suggest that
(23:39):
we were going to develop laser eyes and that is
that one has yet to come true. But it's still
early where we're recording this. It's still December twenty two,
so eventually you know, I expect that to happen, but
should we just like run through you know, we put
together some lists of predictions for the year two from
(24:02):
you know, esteemed journalistic outlets like pure wow. I don't
know what that is. Pure wow dot com. Their prediction list,
they said, riding a wave of nostalgia, which I feel
like we've been doing. That's a that's a trend I've
noticed with a lot of these media list predictions as
they just find a trend that's been going on for
(24:25):
twenty years and they're like that that's happening for sure.
So they were like, Hey, you're gonna see some reboots
this year. You're gonna see some stuff about like, you know,
period pieces. Have you guys heard about these? They're coming? Yeah,
like it or not? You get ready, Sunshine up, Wake up, Buttercup,
(24:48):
because a wave of nostalgia is about to crash on
your ass. So Rise of Raunchy Comedy. This one again
feels like something that has been happening on and off
for while. But I do feel like maybe there's been
a lightning of the raunchy That's how I feel. Isn't
what hot American Summer like? Coming to series on Hulu.
(25:10):
I mean, I mean I think it was on in
series on Netflix, like I don't know, three years ago. Yeah,
well it's coming back, butter Cup. So sorry to say,
I will say, I don't think that's good news for
my mom because I said the word nipples around her
and she was like, don't say nipples. Oh my god,
you said nipples. Oh my gosh. Ever, my mom won't
(25:32):
say nipples either. She'll say the apex of the bust. Wow.
I mean that's so, that's well put, Yeah, somebody that
I guess that's a great definition. Yeahs the apex of
the bust of my apex is But you know what
(25:52):
if someone has inverted nipples, like that doesn't really work,
does it. I think it does still, because that's why
I kind of like it. If you, even if you
don't have nipples like you're, there is an apex of
the So I think it's inclusive. I think it's descriptive,
and I applaud your your mom, but listeners, is it inclusive?
(26:14):
Words you decide? I'm sorry and if getting not sorry,
butter Cup, but that's what that's going to be. Yeah.
Something that people should know is that we're coming hard
in two that's a prediction. We're gonna be doing a
lot of you know, oh sorry sensitive. Yeah, that's how
(26:40):
the daily is. I guys is gonna is gonna ride.
We're gonna get our mothers to say nipples. Yes, there
we go. So the two good predictions I thought they
made that. I'm gonna agree with international content. You know,
the squid Game thing is going to continue to happen.
We're gonna see more and more international knows movies. I
(27:01):
feel like like we've it happened with movies with Parasite
and then with Squid Game. But I feel like more
and more it doesn't even need to just be like
new Ones. People should just somebody needs to just be
like yo. There is an entire like century of great
international movies and TV shows. They most of you haven't watched,
(27:26):
so here watched them. Now. I'm ready for them to
remake The Waltons. The Waltons. I'm gonna pull this up
because my mom has I just got my parents Internet
and the firestick, so my mom will be like the
Waltons or horse movies. My mom keeps. I just taught
her how to talk into the firestick in social horse
(27:46):
movies and scroll over and they're all bad, and then
she just always watches war Horse. We've watched war Horse twice.
I've been here for two days. Um. The Waltons is
an American historical drama television series about a family in
rural Virginia during the Great Depression and World War Two.
It wasn't It was released in the seventies, So okay,
(28:08):
Blue Bridge Mountains is that like a wholesome show. I
think that's one of the shows that my parents would
quote when I was younger, and I didn't know what
the funk they were talking about. Like I think there
was maybe a character named John Boy or something, and
they would call me John Boy because my name is
(28:28):
John officially, and I did not like that, but they
seem to get a kick out of it, so they
loved it. Yeahs are coming back. And then horse movies
is a genre, you know. I think I would add
that too, like the overrated category horse movies people like,
(28:49):
you know, every now and then I like a good
horse movie as well. Who doesn't want a nice way
spirit away get a horse? I love horses. I do
love horses. I love animals. But yeah, I don't know,
it's just something when I see like too many horses
in the marketing. Like I just I'm just like, it
turns me off. One too many horses. Ever's mom did
(29:10):
just walk into the frame behind her and mean threat
slashing motions. I do love horses. It's just it's just
it's just genre. I mean, I'm sure there's always an exception.
But original docuseries is another prediction, not not that they
(29:31):
will suddenly become a thing, but that they will keep
getting good better. Yeah. I feel like we are at
a time now where there is enough footage to make
a compelling docuseries about everyone in the world, so like,
because we're just constantly, you know, taking videos and pictures
(29:53):
of ourselves. So I'm I'm expecting documentaries and docuseries to
get better and better in the coming years. It would
be my pick, Ladies, you all need to be coming
to my window hollering at me to come outside and
watch an original docuse HERI thank you, thank you. I'm
just gonna say there is one prediction that I do
(30:15):
not like. I don't like that. It's that says like
it'll be television shows with like older women on the forefront,
you know, which I think that's great. Time for older
women to shine people in their forties, fifties and sixties.
I don't like that they use the sex in the city.
Oh it's called and just like that. I always keep
calling it, like and there we were, and like it
happens again, like I can't remember the new name. But
(30:38):
it's so bad. It's like, really, I bet again writing
the wave of nostalgia. Oh my god, it's the aura borous.
The snake is eating itself. We got older women riding
the wave of nostalgia and it's the same gust damn
and sexually comedy. They even mentioned another country, so it's
international content and the thing is so good it might
(31:01):
as well be a docuseries. Yeah, well she carries in
a new podcast, so can we get carry on? Yeah,
get her on the character as a as a guest.
That is one of our predictions. Will join as a guest.
(31:22):
And yeah, we gotta ask her about why shouldn't perform CPR. Yeah,
she just like she didn't do anything. She didn't call
like nine one one, like he was very much alive
when she got there. She got she came, she saw
him and she stood there for like ten seconds. Yeah,
(31:45):
by the way, if you guys are listening this. You're
getting mad. This is a spoiler alert. You're all on
the internet and you've and you've all seen the spoiler
alert by now you've all seen it on Twitter, Instagram,
social media again. You know what's so don't don't come
at us in the comments. Getting mad a defensive never
felt less bad about spoiling something because it's not good.
(32:05):
I would say, yeah, would be my it's no Emily
in Paris. Yeah, that's right exactly. I haven't. I watched
one episode of that and I said, I'm supposed to
feel bad. Yeah, now that is good that you know.
They talk about second screen content, where it's like supposed
to be something you're doing in the background. I think
Emily in Paris is like fourth or fifth screen content,
(32:27):
where like you are watching something else while doing something,
while maybe doing a crossword puzzle, and then like somewhere
in the house Emily in Paris is on and you
like walk by it every once in a while and
you're like, and then you know, ignored, like a doctor's office. Yeah, exactly,
it's doctor's office content. Yeah, but yeah, it's first of
(32:51):
all not great. So you're not we're not spoiling that much.
Second of all, they came for podcasts in a way
that I found devastating. When she said the podcasts or
the new Jury Duty, I was like, well, she said, oh,
I didn't see that part, but Harry is the voice
of our generation. So we're fucked now, guys. Now that
she said that, I haven't watched the latest episode where
(33:13):
that where the one character to stand up, but I
heard it. That's just a general like there's never been
good like comedy, like a Studio sixty on the Sunset strip,
like or stand up when they're trying to when they
just like throw that in as an extra thing, they're like,
(33:34):
and then so we'll add this later. But then at
this point in the script they start doing the best
stand up you've ever heard, Like that is the character,
like the actor an actual stand up? No, no, I
think they are the best actor on the show, which
isn't saying much or it's they were a doctor on
(33:56):
Grey's Anatomy Dr Torres right and callie, Oh my god,
Dr Kelly Torres. For a minute, I was watching two
episodes of Graze Anatomy at night during the quarantine. This
this will be my number one screen tonight night time. Alright, finally,
we do have a TikTok trend to check in with.
(34:17):
It is uh, you know, we we we tend to
get a little scatological every once in a while here
on the daily zeitgeist. What we haven't been talking to
all for a couple of weeks now, so we we
had it all stored up, so we had we had
to do it to them. So there we do have
to tell you about a TikTok trend about parents smearing
ship on their kids. Yeah, oh, on their hands, right, yeah, yeah,
(34:40):
like we're on their arms. Like this is the thing
we've seen on the internet before, like sort of an
isolated moments, but now because TikTok's ability to affect culture
is just so powerful, we are seeing this new the
reemergence of it, but called the hashtag poop challenge. And like,
you know, if you've not seen a video like this,
like a parent will usually be in the bathroom, pretend
(35:01):
to be on the toilet and asking for help from
someone outside, typically a kid, and like, hey, I need
more like toilet paper, can you help me with something?
They come in and they smear some shit looking food
like nutella or pudding or peanut butter like on the
kid's hand or arm, and then just be like, and
now I'm recording you. Let's see if my violation of
(35:21):
our trust will get the likes the clicks, and you know,
you see it all. You see some kids scream and
cry because they can't believe that their parents just smeared
ship on them. Then you see other kids who are like,
there's one kid is like crying but also playing with
it more as like they're trying to figure out there.
Like You're like, no, but I'm kind of interested in
what this may or may not be. And then you
(35:43):
have some true o G kids who just looked their
parents in the eye and they're like, you know, this
doesn't smell like ship and nice try who are like young,
and you're like, think, I think I saw one that
was actually really sweet when a kid like kind of
realized what it was and looked at his parents, it
was like it's okay, it's okay. And then I'm just like,
this is so much more fucked, Like now you're putting
(36:06):
the child like to comfort you for shipping on them.
I don't know, I'm just the the whole the culture
behind that. I can't kept behind it. Like, yeah, that's
what I think is interesting because I'm you know, I
get pranking your kids. I was a victim of this
kind of ship no pun intended constantly, like having uncles
or cousins who would always be like, oh, let's kind
(36:26):
of funk with them. So I I know that, like,
you know, having fun and doing that kind of stuff
is you know, par for the course. But like this
this new era of now, it's like, but in my day,
we weren't uploading these videos where I was crying because
I was so afraid of the darker the lights going
out to like the internet, uploading to the Internet for
people to feast their eyes upon. So yeah, I'm just
(36:47):
it is interesting to watch how quickly, like consciously or
subconsciously parents are like, I don't know, maybe your maybe
your tears will get me some followers. Jack, are you
gonna do the poop challenge to your kids? I mean,
by done the poop challenge with my kids? Is that
where did I misunderstand it? And is that where their
stomach book came from? Our all questions that I'm not
(37:08):
going to answer. Oh it was okay, okay, okay, got it? Now?
I know, would you prank your kids though definitely not
on social media like this, just in the privacy of
your own home, Like we're getting divorced, they got to
pick a parent to leave with right now. Yeah, yeah,
(37:29):
I don't tap it. Yeah, my wife is very much
more prone to, like I don't know, w to mess
with the bounds of like truth to see how they react,
and I'm just too tired to do that. Yeah, as
of right now. Were you pranked a lot as a kid,
either of you my uncle's Yeah, not not my dad.
(37:49):
I wasn't pranked a lot because I think I was,
like I think I was like an annoyingly precocious kid
where whenever anyone would try to do something, I would
be like, that's not true, and it would be like,
how do you know? And I would be like because
I just do, like I'm actually smarter than you. Yeah,
(38:10):
I think. I don't know. I was like one of
those kids. I never thought the tooth Fairy was real, Like,
I don't know. I was kind of just like, no way,
some bitches flying into my window, grabbing my teeth and
putting money under my pillow. Yeah, I was like, okay,
first of all, these teeth are worth way more and
second of all, nerve. But I mean I did believe
(38:32):
in Santa Santa Claus, and I also, I guess until
until actually this year when I was really little, my
mom used to my mom was not a crafty person,
like she was not like a pt A mom or
anything like that. But she did do this thing, which
I guess was a prank where on St. Patrick's Day,
(38:54):
she would mess up our room, me and my sister's rooms,
like pull our clothes out of the drawer under our beds,
and like then she would put little green footprints to
like a little pot of candy, like a pot of gold,
And she made us believe that lepri cons like came
into our room and filed up, and that prank was
(39:16):
cool for like a few years, and then I just
realized it was her doing it, and then I was
left to clean up my room. Right. What were the footprints?
They were like paper? They were like little like you know,
cut out little footprints from paper. I mean, it's cute
to do to your kids, Maybe you should do that,
but I didn't. I never. I wish she was things
(39:39):
you wish your parents were alive to ask him, why
why did she pretend to be a lepri con. I
wonder if it's like a thing too, where on the
most cynical level, parents can do that to cover up
the fact that they flipped the room looking for drugs,
Like len came through here. At least there's a pot
of gold and I'm glad to know you don't have drugs. Yeah,
(40:00):
all right, well let's take another quick break and we'll
come back and talk about car crashes and wheel a
fortune m hm. And we're back. And you know this
is this is a hard hitting ship where Google has
(40:23):
released the most Google chain restaurant and what what are
we looking at? Miles? Hit us with the with the facts,
Hit us with the scorecard, Harold Letterman, Who is the
most Google chain restaurant is Starbucks, followed by McDonald's, then Dominoes,
Chick fil A, Pizza Hut, and are blessed Taco Bell
(40:47):
right at the end at the death just snatched it.
And the writers at the takeout. I only bring this
up because not because it's really that important, but the
over at the take out they had some theories of
like why Starbucks, Like there's so much more head and
like the rankings, like I think it was in thirty
and it was like the thirty ninth most search thing
and then McDonald's like the fifty five or something. That
(41:07):
it's things like they have more varied menus that are
like in like in localities they have different menus, or
that they have seasonal items like you know, Christmas drinks
and fall drinks and ship like that, or commitment cups
and stuff. And they're also in dense urban center, so
people might be just saying, yo, let me google where's
a Starbucks. But my theory, really, I think is that
(41:27):
the thing that pushed them over the edge or put
them so far ahead, is that it was all around.
I think that struggle for labor rights and how much
of a top of mind thing. Not that for the
entire country, but in Buffalo, those those stores that were unionizing,
that took up a lot of of like the conversation
air during that time, like everyone was like talking about it.
(41:49):
We heard like, you know, we played some of the
cringe e monologue from the former CEO, and I think there,
I think that drew a lot of people in because
as much as I'd like to think pumpkin spice lot
days and commemorative cups drove the traffic search. I think
their place in the potential domino effect of like worker
rights gave it a little bit more. There was more
(42:11):
interest from the general public aside from just anyone, because
I'm not to say that every person who was like
working at a like a quick service restaurant was like,
I gotta focus on Starbucks, Starbuck, Starbucks. But that news
and around it, I felt like just created more headlines
and more attention around it. Just like I think that
makes sense, yeah, because I also really like what you're
(42:32):
onto with the different pieces of news or new things
that they come up with. Starbucks always has new drinks,
Domino's has like driverless delivery and all that. Like Chick
fil A you gotta knowe like which day is it closed?
Pizza Hut is always like has a new box filled
with shelves of food in it, you know, and Taco
Bell always has new stuff. I do want to know
(42:52):
why anyone would ever google McDonald's because it is always
the same and you're not trying to find one because
if you just drive, like you'll run into one, you
know what I mean, Like you don't if you're on
a road trip, there'll be a signed for it on
the highway. They're everywhere. I do not know why you
would google McDonald's, Like that's my first google every morning, Blake. Yeah,
(43:14):
I'm just like, what are they up to McDonald's making
sure it's there? Yeah, making sure it's the same thing.
How's that claim? You know what's wild? Though? It got
so the things that people it got more people search
McDonald's more than Netflix. Wow, which seems like or Bank
of America. So this is one of my that's crazy questions.
(43:35):
Slash theories is that like Starbucks and Dominoes both have
really good apps as supplications, not appetizers. And so like,
I was so fucking confused when you first said that.
I almost threw up on my pants. So thank you
for for fixing that. That is something that happens to
(43:56):
you when you're confused. Yes, we have to give you
a very gentle briefing before every episode or else. It
takes some mess in here and I appreciate it. Yeah.
But like, so I'm just trying to McDonald's makes more
sense to me because nobody's like going into the McDonald's
app and like ordering on the McDonald's app. But like Dominoes,
(44:17):
is the one that I get. Yeah, I guess they
had the news hook about driverless cars. But for the
most part, I can't imagine like googling unless you're just
like what's the phone number four Dominoes because I don't
use apps that like were they I mean, they don't
know if they were also making headlines with like all
the you know, like minimum wage talk, but was there
(44:39):
anything that put McDonald's like whatever, It doesn't matter all
that to say people are focused on the quick service
world and yeah, long, um, I mean not long made
the struggle last, but long may continue until we get
better treatment. If Google really wanted to grab our attention,
they would be breaking each of these searches down by
like how many the people were googling Starbucks because they
(45:02):
needed a place to ship right, Like that's I have
to think that's like the like you know, like the
it's just Starbucks dicking coffee. Like we're honestly like just
as confused as you. Back when I worked at Cracked,
(45:22):
there was a search term I'm drawing a blank. I'm
like what it was, something with like horse I think
horse dicks. That was one of like the top search
terms that landed people on the website, Like when you
got down it was always like in the top hundred,
and we could never figure out why. It was like
Horsecock Miles Gray was a big one. Yeah, yeah, yeah
(45:47):
that you had one miles. Yeah, collect them. Yeah, I
love your necklace. By the way, thank you. Yeah, your
shelves are buckling under Well, I'm getting I'm getting a
delivery of a Clydesdale later. It's yeah. Oh man, no,
I have to picture. What do Clydesdale's dicks have the
(46:11):
like fluffy white fur like the bottom of the hooves.
Don't know, that's interesting as a very interesting blake. You
know those amphibians that have it's not a salamander, but
it has the fluffy gills like up near its head.
Isn't that situation with the Clyde sale hog with the
(46:31):
fluffy fur at the top or is it at the
base where the pubist? Oh? Yeah, what's it called like
an ox lock dole or something? Yes, yes, yeah, yes,
that's exactly what it is. If the you nail the pronunciation,
nail it, it's a very difficult axle. Fully, that's the
exul rosa quaddle. What is that? All right? Briefly, I
(46:56):
want to talk about yellow Stone because they just had
their season four finale. This is a if if you're
not familiar. It's a kind of neo Western show starring
Kevin Costner, made with technically neo Western John New Western.
What the fuck? Yeah, I don't know what that means.
It's it might be a term I just made up,
(47:19):
but I think it's I think it's like No Country
for All Men, blood simple. You know. Taylor Sheridan, the
creator of the show Yellowstone, has also made Hell or
High Water and wind River. So it's like westerns that
take place in a more modern setting, right, they say,
with right the definition subgenre that adopts its character setting
(47:42):
in themes and transplants them with contemporary sensibilities. Got it,
got it right? So I think also like Unforgiven and
more like postmodern westerns would count as neo Westerns. But
like I think that, I don't know. I find you
could say Mandalorian is a neo Western too, because they
produce a Becca just wrote, a neo Western is a
(48:03):
Western with a shaved head. I think, I like, give
my bad jokes? Do mart with red faces? I don't rever? Sorry? Yeah, yeah,
Becca and Justin gave me that joke sultaneously. Yeah, but
so I I got I got on a big neo
Western kick over the break and like watch Blood Simple
(48:27):
No Continent like the movies that I just mentioned. So that,
But so Taylor Sheridan is the guy who made Heller,
high Water and wind River and that he created this show.
It's about a family that like owns the largest private
ranch in Montana and have to defend against outside forces
like bordering native reservations and a public park and land developers.
(48:52):
So so they nailed one villain of those dreaded public park.
I now, I don't know what his point of view
is on this, like maybe they're maybe they're like anti heroes,
but you know, it does make sense that it would
be salient now seeing as like private property, like you know,
(49:14):
the Bundy's out in the West. I feel like there's
very interesting things happening in that world, and I feel
like private property seems to be kind of the original
sin of the United States that we can't really recover from.
And so this is all to say, I'm going to
watch yellow Stone or some of it and actually have
(49:36):
a a well informed to take instead of this. Yeah,
wasn't there this finale, like just setting records. Yes, so
this was some season four finale hit like had the
highest ratings for a day of and like that. They
premiered it on I guess it's Peacock even though it
(49:57):
seems like it's on Paramountain Network. Show its streams on
Peacock and they had like nine million people watch it
on the day it came out, which is a new record,
which is pretty wild when you realize that like every
show in the top ten of like most streamed shows
is on Netflix. But I mean it's it's definitely one
(50:19):
of those. It's like the it's again one of those shows,
like the biggest show that I don't know about. Yeah, yeah,
and I just see constantly see pre rolls for it,
and I'm like, I don't know, Kevin Costoner are cool,
but yeah, the neo Western man, I just do it.
So I did watch wind River, which is the only
of the one of those movies, those neo westerns I
(50:39):
hadn't seen, and it's about like crimes done to native
people's on like Native reservations, and it's protagonists is a
fish and wildlife tracker played by Jeremy Renner. But it's
cool because his ex wife is Native American. Oh cool, cool,
(51:00):
that's fine, but that not not his love interest mnd do.
His love interest is Elizabeth Olson, who is a who
comes out helps solve the crime. But like, yeah, the
the Native people aren't very useful or capable of dealing
with their own ship in the movie, so there's like
some very serious white savior ship going on. But I
(51:21):
I do want to watch this and see like how
they're handling a story that centers on a Bundy like
clan trying to defend their private property rights against the
public park system. Like I can't think of I mean,
it's got to be good, you know, like because I'm
you don't do numbers like that and be a totally
(51:41):
like nonsense show, you know, so not to say that
like it's not no, no no, but I mean, like
you know that they like even when I watched shows
that do numbers, I'm like, oh, I see why people funk.
I've never seen like a show. This is complete. This
is like a fever dream. I don't understand this at all. Yeah, right,
you guys haven't seen a well one of these, right,
(52:01):
A single episode of Yellowstone not not one. Yeah. I
started to have it. I have a rechargeable battery thing
I got as a promo for it. Yeah, it counts.
I saw the hell out of some billboards when it
first came out. But I thought you said Mystic River
when you said wind River. And when I was in
high school, I got like hired to write like hired,
(52:24):
I probably was free. It was free to write like
the dirty, like dirty movie titles. I guess for a
morning show. And I asked my best friend Jeff to
help me, and he wrote like a hundred of them,
but they were all so bad where it was like
Mystic River of Semen was like one of the ones
that he wrote, and it's like, no, you gotta like
do word play and it was like Pirates of the
(52:46):
Caribbean having sex with each other and it's like you
can't know it, just flit word play where kind of
with Jeff on this woman, I think I think you
steered him wrong. Mystic River Seemen was pretty good. Producer Becca,
what which show was good again? I'm yellow Stone. Yellowstone
is good? Yeah, okay, say Yellowstone is good. I watched
(53:09):
it with my mom in Texas from the South. Yeah, Yellowstone.
She loved it. And they have like Um, I don't
know if it's a spin off, but it's the same
creators who did Yellowstone I think. But it's like based
in like I don't know, the Organ Trail right, eighteen.
It's like got some year title, right, it's a prequel.
(53:32):
It's like these people's an that has country stars Faith
Hill and um wow, I'm spacing very famous m yea,
I love Kim Alright, well now I am feel less
dread about the fact that I just promised to watch
(53:53):
some of this. But yeah, Zike Gang, let us know
thoughts on Yellowstone. Yeah? Is it the new USh? Yeah,
your dad's favorite show. All right, that's gonna do it
for this week's weekly Zeite. Guys, please like and review
the show. If you like the show, uh means the
(54:14):
world to Miles. He needs your validation, folks. I hope
you're having a great weekend and I will talk to
him Monday. By st
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
laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
(00:22):
the Weekly Zeitgeist. Please welcome, visit to a sunny You're
just me and my Jenko's. Hey, yeah, you are in
full Jenko and that's great to see anticipating something about. Yeah,
there's something super nostalgic about that year. What a year,
(00:46):
What a time to be alive? That is when I
was in all cross color Jenko. Carl can I you know,
good old days, Remember when you all got the Jenkos
with like the cool patch that wasn't it would be
like the skater or like the weird creature and you'd
be like, yeah, these are these are cool? Maybe wearing
(01:07):
Jingos too. Yeah, the Jinko on the Jingo would be
wearing Jingos. It's like an sketch out here of I
um embarrassing only have an an m C short tattoo
and not a cool one. What yeah, dogs, I'm so
(01:27):
embarrassed about my tattoos. I have the m C sret
would sketching of a fish like a carving, you know,
for like a stamp. And then I have I think
I've talked about it before, but I have Starry Night
Van Goes Starry Night on my lower back, but just
the sky. You are representing freshman dorm room wall as well,
(01:49):
so you have you have a van Go tramp stamp.
Mm hmm. It's always an interesting conversation before sex with someone. Hey, listen,
you're gonna see some stuff back there. It's not what
you think, but it's not what you want, so you
think it's not what you want. None of the I
(02:10):
do think that college dorm room art is under it.
It is a perfect encapsulation of like a you know,
an averaging of the zeitgeist of like over the course
of twenty years. It's it's not not anything to be
ashamed of. I would say, I think college dorm room
art we we give it a hard time because we've
(02:31):
all been that person who has those posters. But we
had those posters for a reason. I wonder college students
let us know. But I feel like the college students
now degree their dorm like a real apartment. No, yeah, probably,
I'm I'm probably dating myself. I remember like when I
(02:51):
first walked and I walked into my first dorm, I
just started crying because it was so fucking disgusting already
you walked in and it was already just like an astra. Yeah.
I was like, I'm gonna like not have any skin
after cleaning this room, Like yeah, just from all like
the ly salt White ship. Yeah, that's a great question.
(03:12):
I would I would be curious to hear like what
held over from when I was in college and like
what is knew what what went away? Because Bruce Lee?
Does everybody still have Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali posters?
And and by everybody I mean a bunch of dude bros.
And Quentin Tarantino moving scarface. Of course, Godfather Rappers had
(03:36):
all the Woo Tang albums on my wall. Yeah, Godfather
for sure. The first time I got really high, I
was looking at my Godfather poster on my dorm room
wall and the cats started to move. And that's how
I knew I did not like weed. Not for me.
(03:56):
I can't be the only one who had a cardboard
cutout of James t life size. I mean the only
one maybe in this on this podcast, but for certain
not the only one. Definitely not the only one in Florida,
definitely not. What about the Marylyn and Row cut out
or black and white Marylyn Monroe with like the red
lipstick or red rose. You all know what I'm talking about.
(04:18):
Little Schindler's list effect on the Marilyn Monroe Monroe. We
do like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history? Something that I searched recently was well, okay,
(04:41):
I mean gold Price program was something that I searched
a few days ago, obviously very important. Crischell Stouse or whatever.
From selling Sunset. Now here's the thing. I'm not a
big reality TV head. My husband loves Selling Sunset. So
now I just like I'm the person that I'm watching
(05:01):
something and doing a full like Wikipedia deep dive about
who they are at the same time. Clearly you didn't
do that while watching Lost of Spookies, which is good.
But then I have, like, you know, a bunch of
other ship I guess probably Rezzi is always up. I
have a Google search for Michael Stipe up, you know,
(05:23):
just kind of class. What's what's Mike's I don't think
I've ever heard him referred to. Was Mike Snipe well,
he lives in my friend's building, and I was in
my friend's apartment going to visit her, and I thought
that I saw him and it could not have been
more opposite than what he actually looks like. So then
I was like, do I have no idea as to
(05:43):
what Michael Stipe actually looks like? Turns out I had
no fucking clue. So what did you What did you
expect versus what it was? Because I have this guy
that I see at Trader Joe's who I'm convinced is
Michael Stipe, But I second guess every now, and when
I kind of look closer, I think, like, in my mind,
(06:03):
I know he's bald, but in the moment, I was like,
he's not bald because there's something about him like he
and Moby could potentially get like smushed together as being
like bald white guys that wear glasses. Even though Moby
has a bunch of like insane tattoos. Now, so he's
very recognizable. I don't know, shout out his restaurant here
(06:27):
in l a Little Pine. That's very funny to me
that Moby got a bunch of tattoos? Is Michael? How
is the height wise That's always something that I always
top of mind for you. You know, you think that
I would know, and I'm going to look it up
for you right now. I guess the only other tab
that would kind of be like inside into my brain
is Hippopotamus attacks. That's the other tab that I have
open currently. You don't have to look it up. I
(06:48):
was just curious if he struck you as taller or
shorter than you expected when you The gent that I
saw in person was probably like five ten, And now
that I'm looking it up, Michael Stipe is five nine,
So I wasn't far off. Do you know kind of
car you drive? Sorry to ask, I don't think he
(07:10):
drives a car, Michael. You think Michael Stipe? Guy, I'm
telling you next, I'm gonna I'm gonna take a picture
of this guy who's his double ganger. Did I see around?
He lives in New York. He's like he's like the
personal state. Sorry, I'm raist, no, but I but like,
(07:35):
when you are a bald white man of a certain stature,
you could be Michael Stipe. You could be Jason Statham,
you could be Moby, you could be you know, there's
a whole you could be Mr. Clean. There's a whole
laundry list. Yeah, okay, that makes me feel bad. And
I do suspect that the person that you were mistaking
for Michael Stipe like chose that lane was like to
(07:57):
be a Michael Stipe bald That's gonna be my lane
that people, you know, because because you gotta you can't
just create your own white guy space. Because whole vibe
was like I'm wearing like an old vaporized T shirt
and I got like this shitty classic car that like works,
but I'm not trying to front like it's fancy, but
(08:18):
clearly it's catching your eye because it's older and like
just being like like moving like a ghost. And he
had like a big Adam's apple and I'm like, this
that's very wouldn't I would expect him to? Like I also,
was it like a authentically burnt out tea or was
it something that was bought at like Max Fields. It
looked the vibe felt authentic to the point I was like,
(08:41):
this could be Michael Stipe because it just felt like
this wasn't like this wasn't really overdone because remember me
one time I saw you know, like yeah, it's Halloween.
I'm doing an r em cost dude, what's your problem?
(09:02):
Like to Michael Stipe, I don't know, but it's like
the same thing. One time I saw Diane Keaton out
and I said, look at this Diane Keaton cosplay looking mother.
I was like, this person is trying to do Diane
Keaton with the hat and the glasses and everything. And
then I look close, I'm like, oh, ship, that's that's
the real deal. And then it so I have those
moments too, or I'll be dismissive of the real thing
(09:24):
because I'd be like you, look at you attempting this
other problem. It's jarring when you see someone that has
a signature look and you see them out in the
wild in the signature look. I saw Billy Porter at
the airport, and initially I was like, Wow, that guy
is dressed exactly like Billy Porter. And then I was like, oh, no,
it's actually just Billy Porter. He's the only person wearing
(09:46):
completely crystal jeweled sneakers and like a gorgeous hat that
is like high and tilted and looked stunning very early
in the morning. His hand motions are suggesting this hat
is taller than any heat I bet it was. It
was insane, Yeah, like a b Lincoln tool. No way
(10:06):
it could. I bet. I bet when they sat in
the airplane, it was touching where the lights in the
And I don't see him playing that either. He'd be like,
I need a new seat because I'm not taking my
hat off and it's touching the air condition or not? Right?
Do we discuss this before one Diane Keaton and her
signature look came up the question of like, are there
other actors who have just been like, ah, this is
(10:28):
what I look like, Like this is kind of how
I dress, and this is how I'm gonna addressing all
my movies. And that's just like they come with the wardrobe. Yes,
I can say firsthand. Jeff Goldbloom, Yeah, he's on he's
on Search Party this season, and like how he dresses
that you you would compliment him on something and he like,
(10:50):
these are mine, Like everything I hear is mine, and
you say you're like, oh, the like compliment like his rings,
I'm like, oh, I love your rings. Like you know,
costumes really hit it out of the park or whatever.
They're all just like his own, his own stuff. I mean,
(11:12):
he's a very jazzy dresser. Yeah, and he just you know,
he has zany style and I think that he has
been another person to like the Jeff Goldbloom style is
now how you see him on and off screen. I
feel like Andy Garcia also, that's like my vibe with him.
(11:32):
I feel like just always suit yeah, like or like
on vacation like rich person vacation with linen on I
was gonna say linen and like a hat. Yeah. Yeah.
Like there's like a soccer player, this Bulgarian soccer player
named Dimitar Berbatov, and he was once told he looked
like Andy Garcia, and he said he devoted his entire style,
(11:53):
like his whole wardrobe is now informed by Andy Garcia.
Because that's very funny. You kind of look like Andy Garcia,
who's twenty years older than I. Don't feel like Gabrielly
Glaciers always looks the same. Okay, yeah, that's definitely yeah,
he has a style signature look yeah. Yeah, But we
should circle back to hippo attacks because I'm sure everybody
(12:14):
is thinking about those. I think Sup producer beccar Ramos
mentioned that there are there's a TikTok about hippo attacks
going viral. There are right now. Yeah, we were looking
it up because it was on an episode of like
I Survived Death or whatever, I guess some podcasts that
my friend listens to, and we were all talking about
this guy who survived this insane hippo attack. And when
(12:38):
I see hippo's I want to just like cuddle with them.
It looks so cute and sassy baskets. Well you know
that they're like so fucking the most deadly creature in Africa.
I think it's wild. And also there mouths. I think
(13:01):
they have like a two thousand pounds like job crush. Yeah.
The eyewitness testimony that hippo attacks involves people being bitten
in half a lot of the time, which you don't
hear that about sharks even though right, well, sharks don't
mean to eat us. Yeah, where hippos are like I'm
coming for you, like I thought you were a seal.
(13:24):
Yeah right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's on. And they'll
wave their little butts, think their tails just like shoot
ship out in like many directions. That's like the one
thing I remember seeing in a nature documentary. Ship fans.
I wish metal man, Yeah, I would like that. That
would be pretty cool. That would be a great way
to you know, you don't You don't need a receptacle
(13:47):
to take it away from you because you have one
built in that just fires it across the Yeah, yeah, Blake.
What's something you think is overrated? Overrated hair on men's heads?
And I've been thinking about, like my hair like it's
kind of it's creeping in the bag, it's creep in
the front a little bit. I think I have a
little why, I think of a couple of years left
(14:09):
on it. But I've been thinking about, like, oh, when
my hair goes, I'll probably shave my head, you know,
and like a beard or something. But I do from
I can go hair here, oh and then TRANSPLANTT D
I Y style onto the top of my Please don't
I Y. Your hair bloks all right, comb up, comb
over from the bottom of the face, all the way around,
(14:30):
just like I like that rapid cocktail. Well, you'll need
an ear hole. However, which is the one thing that's
stopping me from doing that is the lack of symmetry. Yeah,
I'm sorry. Can you guys repeat that. It's like I
can't say anything to you the way you look. I
can't say ship to you. But yeah, like from people.
(14:51):
I think it's one of those things where it's just
a thing that men like think about more than anyone
else does, where when I see like a guy with
a shaved head or something, I'm not like, ah, you know,
it's like, oh, that's just a guy that's like John
there's a Lee Yes, just black October one and it's
(15:15):
time to get fucked up seeing all his favorite songs
around the fire. No. Yeah, I like to remember when
I was losing my hair. I remember the moment I
caught onto it. It was in the reflection of a
of a metallic elevator door, like I was like, yo,
what's with the corner of my hairline? And I remember
(15:38):
going in. I remember I was in Japan at the time.
I remember asking like my relatives, my uncle, he was like,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's just going
couldn't even give me the and but my and all
the men in my you know, because you you you
inherit the hair trades from your mother's side, all of
them are bald. So I've been knowing since like ten
years old, since I knew that was it there like
(16:00):
welcome to the show, like you're on your way kid,
And I remember Monk was like, so I guess so
I guess he made a joke. He's like, oh, I
guess you really are your mom's kid. You're not adopted,
was the way he tried. So there was good news there. Yeah,
rest his soul. Thank you. It is interesting because I
would never think of you, not now that it's a
negative thing, but I would be like, oh, Miles has
(16:20):
the right head, you know what I mean? Like I'm
not I would never be like, oh, Miles is a
bald gentleman, or my Miles is a guy without hair?
You know? Yeah, yeah, thank you like your Miles. Yeah,
things things I haven't thought of. But yeah, you know again,
I'm always raising my fist to the guy. I'm like,
did they have to figure out a COVID vaccine before
(16:40):
a hair restoration bill? Really? I thought you meant in
pride with like bald solidarity, but you mean like raising
your fist to the sky. Check I think Miles a
COVID vact. Correct me if I'm wrong. A COVID vaccine
for bald people? Is that what you're saying? That too,
that we will here at the earth. Yeah, A lot
(17:01):
of people don't know that we are breaking that on
today's episode, But the COVID vaccine doesn't worry if you're
bald whose which is why I haven't left the house
in seven months. What you think is underrated? Underrated? And
I'm almost sad that super Booster AO Hostni is not
here for me to hear me say this. But F
(17:22):
one Drive to Survive and I also added a note
here honestly, probably not underrated, but I just started watching
it and it rules. That show is amazing. If you
have not started watching F one Drive to Survive on Netflix,
it does not matter if you're a fan of racing
or not. It is the dopest show. And now I'm
and now I'm deep into F one. It's the battle
(17:45):
and the season just ended too, and yeah, season season
three just ended and no, no, the last one season. Yes,
the last F one season and contramired in controversy very much.
So oh my goodness, Oh my gosh, but the show is.
The show was just so well done. I also love
how they have such contempt for Netflix, Like while they're
recording it, they're like, oh, it's you again. Okay, can
(18:06):
you guys get exactly can you guys get out? Of
here when we're having a serious conversation, it's like, right,
it's spectacular, shout out total wolf. Is there so a
question I'm hearing people in sports media talk about a lot,
is uh, whether the like whether this strategy that has
worked so well for F one of like doing a
really you know, it's something that HBO kind of did
(18:29):
with hard knocks, or they would follow a team in
the preseason, but like doing that for the entirety of
a season so that you get not just like a
single team's preseason, but the entire season with all the
players and all the different Like is that there was
a rumor going around that they were going to do
(18:50):
the same thing to professional golf, and that did not
sound very interesting to me. Like, I mean, I feel
like F one is it worked for HAF one because
it was a underrated sport. It was a sport that
was like very exciting, very popular around the world and
just hadn't really broken through the way it should have
in America. But I feel like golf, You're not going
(19:13):
to get me to give a funk about that if
I think that's the thing though, right, Like golf is
also clearly has enough of an audience that it's in
the you know, generating millions of dollars. But I feel
like with golf, like the joy the people, the way
people get into watching like the PGA Tours because they
golf themselves and they have a firsthand understanding of like
(19:34):
what they're seeing and how different like the skill that
it takes to be a professional golfer and being like,
oh man, that was great. I don't know if that
translates like yeah, it maybe it can if you can
find a way for people to be like actually, like
you know, every stroke matters. But I don't think the
cash of characters are as interesting as like Formula one,
where they can get people fully invested. Because I took
(19:56):
a Formula One. To me, it was like it's guys
in helmets driving in a circle. Yeah, and then that
was my that was my view. Then I zoomed in
through this show and I was like, oh, funk, okay,
it's it's got all kinds of fun ship going on
deeply yeah yeah yeah again, as I'll say, it's the
embodiment of malignant global capitalism very much. Frank about like
what complete cars emblazoned with earth fucking companies and like
(20:20):
human rights washing races and like fucking Azerbaijan. Yes, that's it's.
It's definitely And especially in season three, which which Stephanie
and I are halfway through right now, the way that
they react to COVID being like we just really want
to get back out there and race is all like, oh,
y'all really don't give a shit about hubanity or society
or variant or anything. Extremely insulated. But to your point
(20:42):
about like, uh it working for other sports, I think
the fact that it is so small that there are
only twenty drivers in the entire like sports of F
one definitely helps in terms of being able to concentrate
on certain people, Like you couldn't do this for basketball,
where you know, or football or any team sport with
a bunch of players. To be a team, it would
have to be a team. Yeah, one team would be
(21:04):
all the people you could you could represent. But also
and in comparing it to golf, like you know, you're
just you're right, like F one is with for lack
of better term, extremely high octane, like it's exciting. It
is incredibly exciting when it gets down to the actual
like racing part of it, whereas golf you're right, it
would be kind of hard to get me to give
a shit about each stroke. So I think that one definitely. Yeah,
(21:27):
it fits into a very very thin window of like
not quite understood, but also small enough to cover all
of it. I'm gonna say the NBA, if you could
get buy in from the fifteen best players in the
league and you're just following the fifteen best players in
the league and like their teams, and you know, usually
(21:48):
one of the fifteen best players in the league is
going to win the title, you know, I think that
would actually work pretty well. It would somehow make basketball
and more popular, you know, and and you know they're
they're all about their global brands so very much. Just yeah,
if they have any eyes on you know, not being
beholden to other countries with their you know, uh broadcast
(22:11):
rights and things like that, maybe you get a show
out there they pull other people in, but they do
it with uh. In the Premier League, Amazon does a
show called All or Nothing, and this season they're following Arsenal.
So like all of the banter around, like the fans
is like I can't wait to see that, Like, you know,
we have a great game or a ship game or like,
can't wait to see what this looks like behind the scenes,
(22:32):
because like they're in the locker room, they're in the
training that's like you see them eat, I think, and yeah,
it shows like that. I think have to do a
good job of, you know, demystifying ship and getting you
to care. A Rugby one would probably be good for
the US interesting because that ship is ridiculous, super athletic
to watch, and it's adjacent enough to American football that
(22:55):
I think they'll be like, holy shit, man, is this
fucking ruggers. I feel like the NFL is probably like
keeping that, like they're killing any contract because they're like, oh,
this is kind of like a more fun version of ours.
It's like an electric car r exactly who killed the
Rugby drive to survive Ugby sevens? All right, let's take
(23:17):
a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're
back and alright, so it's time for predictions. Like I said,
we nailed them last year, and uh did suggest that
(23:39):
we were going to develop laser eyes and that is
that one has yet to come true. But it's still
early where we're recording this. It's still December twenty two,
so eventually you know, I expect that to happen, but
should we just like run through you know, we put
together some lists of predictions for the year two from
(24:02):
you know, esteemed journalistic outlets like pure wow. I don't
know what that is. Pure wow dot com. Their prediction list,
they said, riding a wave of nostalgia, which I feel
like we've been doing. That's a that's a trend I've
noticed with a lot of these media list predictions as
they just find a trend that's been going on for
(24:25):
twenty years and they're like that that's happening for sure.
So they were like, Hey, you're gonna see some reboots
this year. You're gonna see some stuff about like, you know,
period pieces. Have you guys heard about these? They're coming? Yeah,
like it or not? You get ready, Sunshine up, Wake up, Buttercup,
(24:48):
because a wave of nostalgia is about to crash on
your ass. So Rise of Raunchy Comedy. This one again
feels like something that has been happening on and off
for while. But I do feel like maybe there's been
a lightning of the raunchy That's how I feel. Isn't
what hot American Summer like? Coming to series on Hulu.
(25:10):
I mean, I mean I think it was on in
series on Netflix, like I don't know, three years ago. Yeah,
well it's coming back, butter Cup. So sorry to say,
I will say, I don't think that's good news for
my mom because I said the word nipples around her
and she was like, don't say nipples. Oh my god,
you said nipples. Oh my gosh. Ever, my mom won't
(25:32):
say nipples either. She'll say the apex of the bust. Wow.
I mean that's so, that's well put, Yeah, somebody that
I guess that's a great definition. Yeahs the apex of
the bust of my apex is But you know what
(25:52):
if someone has inverted nipples, like that doesn't really work,
does it. I think it does still, because that's why
I kind of like it. If you, even if you
don't have nipples like you're, there is an apex of
the So I think it's inclusive. I think it's descriptive,
and I applaud your your mom, but listeners, is it inclusive?
(26:14):
Words you decide? I'm sorry and if getting not sorry,
butter Cup, but that's what that's going to be. Yeah.
Something that people should know is that we're coming hard
in two that's a prediction. We're gonna be doing a
lot of you know, oh sorry sensitive. Yeah, that's how
(26:40):
the daily is. I guys is gonna is gonna ride.
We're gonna get our mothers to say nipples. Yes, there
we go. So the two good predictions I thought they
made that. I'm gonna agree with international content. You know,
the squid Game thing is going to continue to happen.
We're gonna see more and more international knows movies. I
(27:01):
feel like like we've it happened with movies with Parasite
and then with Squid Game. But I feel like more
and more it doesn't even need to just be like
new Ones. People should just somebody needs to just be
like yo. There is an entire like century of great
international movies and TV shows. They most of you haven't watched,
(27:26):
so here watched them. Now. I'm ready for them to
remake The Waltons. The Waltons. I'm gonna pull this up
because my mom has I just got my parents Internet
and the firestick, so my mom will be like the
Waltons or horse movies. My mom keeps. I just taught
her how to talk into the firestick in social horse
(27:46):
movies and scroll over and they're all bad, and then
she just always watches war Horse. We've watched war Horse twice.
I've been here for two days. Um. The Waltons is
an American historical drama television series about a family in
rural Virginia during the Great Depression and World War Two.
It wasn't It was released in the seventies, So okay,
(28:08):
Blue Bridge Mountains is that like a wholesome show. I
think that's one of the shows that my parents would
quote when I was younger, and I didn't know what
the funk they were talking about. Like I think there
was maybe a character named John Boy or something, and
they would call me John Boy because my name is
(28:28):
John officially, and I did not like that, but they
seem to get a kick out of it, so they
loved it. Yeahs are coming back. And then horse movies
is a genre, you know. I think I would add
that too, like the overrated category horse movies people like,
(28:49):
you know, every now and then I like a good
horse movie as well. Who doesn't want a nice way
spirit away get a horse? I love horses. I do
love horses. I love animals. But yeah, I don't know,
it's just something when I see like too many horses
in the marketing. Like I just I'm just like, it
turns me off. One too many horses. Ever's mom did
(29:10):
just walk into the frame behind her and mean threat
slashing motions. I do love horses. It's just it's just
it's just genre. I mean, I'm sure there's always an exception.
But original docuseries is another prediction, not not that they
(29:31):
will suddenly become a thing, but that they will keep
getting good better. Yeah. I feel like we are at
a time now where there is enough footage to make
a compelling docuseries about everyone in the world, so like,
because we're just constantly, you know, taking videos and pictures
(29:53):
of ourselves. So I'm I'm expecting documentaries and docuseries to
get better and better in the coming years. It would
be my pick, Ladies, you all need to be coming
to my window hollering at me to come outside and
watch an original docuse HERI thank you, thank you. I'm
just gonna say there is one prediction that I do
(30:15):
not like. I don't like that. It's that says like
it'll be television shows with like older women on the forefront,
you know, which I think that's great. Time for older
women to shine people in their forties, fifties and sixties.
I don't like that they use the sex in the city.
Oh it's called and just like that. I always keep
calling it, like and there we were, and like it
happens again, like I can't remember the new name. But
(30:38):
it's so bad. It's like, really, I bet again writing
the wave of nostalgia. Oh my god, it's the aura borous.
The snake is eating itself. We got older women riding
the wave of nostalgia and it's the same gust damn
and sexually comedy. They even mentioned another country, so it's
international content and the thing is so good it might
(31:01):
as well be a docuseries. Yeah, well she carries in
a new podcast, so can we get carry on? Yeah,
get her on the character as a as a guest.
That is one of our predictions. Will join as a guest.
(31:22):
And yeah, we gotta ask her about why shouldn't perform CPR. Yeah,
she just like she didn't do anything. She didn't call
like nine one one, like he was very much alive
when she got there. She got she came, she saw
him and she stood there for like ten seconds. Yeah,
(31:45):
by the way, if you guys are listening this. You're
getting mad. This is a spoiler alert. You're all on
the internet and you've and you've all seen the spoiler
alert by now you've all seen it on Twitter, Instagram,
social media again. You know what's so don't don't come
at us in the comments. Getting mad a defensive never
felt less bad about spoiling something because it's not good.
(32:05):
I would say, yeah, would be my it's no Emily
in Paris. Yeah, that's right exactly. I haven't. I watched
one episode of that and I said, I'm supposed to
feel bad. Yeah, now that is good that you know.
They talk about second screen content, where it's like supposed
to be something you're doing in the background. I think
Emily in Paris is like fourth or fifth screen content,
(32:27):
where like you are watching something else while doing something,
while maybe doing a crossword puzzle, and then like somewhere
in the house Emily in Paris is on and you
like walk by it every once in a while and
you're like, and then you know, ignored, like a doctor's office. Yeah, exactly,
it's doctor's office content. Yeah, but yeah, it's first of
(32:51):
all not great. So you're not we're not spoiling that much.
Second of all, they came for podcasts in a way
that I found devastating. When she said the podcasts or
the new Jury Duty, I was like, well, she said, oh,
I didn't see that part, but Harry is the voice
of our generation. So we're fucked now, guys. Now that
she said that, I haven't watched the latest episode where
(33:13):
that where the one character to stand up, but I
heard it. That's just a general like there's never been
good like comedy, like a Studio sixty on the Sunset strip,
like or stand up when they're trying to when they
just like throw that in as an extra thing, they're like,
(33:34):
and then so we'll add this later. But then at
this point in the script they start doing the best
stand up you've ever heard, Like that is the character,
like the actor an actual stand up? No, no, I
think they are the best actor on the show, which
isn't saying much or it's they were a doctor on
(33:56):
Grey's Anatomy Dr Torres right and callie, Oh my god,
Dr Kelly Torres. For a minute, I was watching two
episodes of Graze Anatomy at night during the quarantine. This
this will be my number one screen tonight night time. Alright, finally,
we do have a TikTok trend to check in with.
(34:17):
It is uh, you know, we we we tend to
get a little scatological every once in a while here
on the daily zeitgeist. What we haven't been talking to
all for a couple of weeks now, so we we
had it all stored up, so we had we had
to do it to them. So there we do have
to tell you about a TikTok trend about parents smearing
ship on their kids. Yeah, oh, on their hands, right, yeah, yeah,
(34:40):
like we're on their arms. Like this is the thing
we've seen on the internet before, like sort of an
isolated moments, but now because TikTok's ability to affect culture
is just so powerful, we are seeing this new the
reemergence of it, but called the hashtag poop challenge. And like,
you know, if you've not seen a video like this,
like a parent will usually be in the bathroom, pretend
(35:01):
to be on the toilet and asking for help from
someone outside, typically a kid, and like, hey, I need
more like toilet paper, can you help me with something?
They come in and they smear some shit looking food
like nutella or pudding or peanut butter like on the
kid's hand or arm, and then just be like, and
now I'm recording you. Let's see if my violation of
(35:21):
our trust will get the likes the clicks, and you know,
you see it all. You see some kids scream and
cry because they can't believe that their parents just smeared
ship on them. Then you see other kids who are like,
there's one kid is like crying but also playing with
it more as like they're trying to figure out there.
Like You're like, no, but I'm kind of interested in
what this may or may not be. And then you
(35:43):
have some true o G kids who just looked their
parents in the eye and they're like, you know, this
doesn't smell like ship and nice try who are like young,
and you're like, think, I think I saw one that
was actually really sweet when a kid like kind of
realized what it was and looked at his parents, it
was like it's okay, it's okay. And then I'm just like,
this is so much more fucked, Like now you're putting
(36:06):
the child like to comfort you for shipping on them.
I don't know, I'm just the the whole the culture
behind that. I can't kept behind it. Like, yeah, that's
what I think is interesting because I'm you know, I
get pranking your kids. I was a victim of this
kind of ship no pun intended constantly, like having uncles
or cousins who would always be like, oh, let's kind
(36:26):
of funk with them. So I I know that, like,
you know, having fun and doing that kind of stuff
is you know, par for the course. But like this
this new era of now, it's like, but in my day,
we weren't uploading these videos where I was crying because
I was so afraid of the darker the lights going
out to like the internet, uploading to the Internet for
people to feast their eyes upon. So yeah, I'm just
(36:47):
it is interesting to watch how quickly, like consciously or
subconsciously parents are like, I don't know, maybe your maybe
your tears will get me some followers. Jack, are you
gonna do the poop challenge to your kids? I mean,
by done the poop challenge with my kids? Is that
where did I misunderstand it? And is that where their
stomach book came from? Our all questions that I'm not
(37:08):
going to answer. Oh it was okay, okay, okay, got it? Now?
I know, would you prank your kids though definitely not
on social media like this, just in the privacy of
your own home, Like we're getting divorced, they got to
pick a parent to leave with right now. Yeah, yeah,
(37:29):
I don't tap it. Yeah, my wife is very much
more prone to, like I don't know, w to mess
with the bounds of like truth to see how they react,
and I'm just too tired to do that. Yeah, as
of right now. Were you pranked a lot as a kid,
either of you my uncle's Yeah, not not my dad.
(37:49):
I wasn't pranked a lot because I think I was,
like I think I was like an annoyingly precocious kid
where whenever anyone would try to do something, I would
be like, that's not true, and it would be like,
how do you know? And I would be like because
I just do, like I'm actually smarter than you. Yeah,
(38:10):
I think. I don't know. I was like one of
those kids. I never thought the tooth Fairy was real, Like,
I don't know. I was kind of just like, no way,
some bitches flying into my window, grabbing my teeth and
putting money under my pillow. Yeah, I was like, okay,
first of all, these teeth are worth way more and
second of all, nerve. But I mean I did believe
(38:32):
in Santa Santa Claus, and I also, I guess until
until actually this year when I was really little, my
mom used to my mom was not a crafty person,
like she was not like a pt A mom or
anything like that. But she did do this thing, which
I guess was a prank where on St. Patrick's Day,
(38:54):
she would mess up our room, me and my sister's rooms,
like pull our clothes out of the drawer under our beds,
and like then she would put little green footprints to
like a little pot of candy, like a pot of gold,
And she made us believe that lepri cons like came
into our room and filed up, and that prank was
(39:16):
cool for like a few years, and then I just
realized it was her doing it, and then I was
left to clean up my room. Right. What were the footprints?
They were like paper? They were like little like you know,
cut out little footprints from paper. I mean, it's cute
to do to your kids, Maybe you should do that,
but I didn't. I never. I wish she was things
(39:39):
you wish your parents were alive to ask him, why
why did she pretend to be a lepri con. I
wonder if it's like a thing too, where on the
most cynical level, parents can do that to cover up
the fact that they flipped the room looking for drugs,
Like len came through here. At least there's a pot
of gold and I'm glad to know you don't have drugs. Yeah,
(40:00):
all right, well let's take another quick break and we'll
come back and talk about car crashes and wheel a
fortune m hm. And we're back. And you know this
is this is a hard hitting ship where Google has
(40:23):
released the most Google chain restaurant and what what are
we looking at? Miles? Hit us with the with the facts,
Hit us with the scorecard, Harold Letterman, Who is the
most Google chain restaurant is Starbucks, followed by McDonald's, then Dominoes,
Chick fil A, Pizza Hut, and are blessed Taco Bell
(40:47):
right at the end at the death just snatched it.
And the writers at the takeout. I only bring this
up because not because it's really that important, but the
over at the take out they had some theories of
like why Starbucks, Like there's so much more head and
like the rankings, like I think it was in thirty
and it was like the thirty ninth most search thing
and then McDonald's like the fifty five or something. That
(41:07):
it's things like they have more varied menus that are
like in like in localities they have different menus, or
that they have seasonal items like you know, Christmas drinks
and fall drinks and ship like that, or commitment cups
and stuff. And they're also in dense urban center, so
people might be just saying, yo, let me google where's
a Starbucks. But my theory, really, I think is that
(41:27):
the thing that pushed them over the edge or put
them so far ahead, is that it was all around.
I think that struggle for labor rights and how much
of a top of mind thing. Not that for the
entire country, but in Buffalo, those those stores that were unionizing,
that took up a lot of of like the conversation
air during that time, like everyone was like talking about it.
(41:49):
We heard like, you know, we played some of the
cringe e monologue from the former CEO, and I think there,
I think that drew a lot of people in because
as much as I'd like to think pumpkin spice lot
days and commemorative cups drove the traffic search. I think
their place in the potential domino effect of like worker
rights gave it a little bit more. There was more
(42:11):
interest from the general public aside from just anyone, because
I'm not to say that every person who was like
working at a like a quick service restaurant was like,
I gotta focus on Starbucks, Starbuck, Starbucks. But that news
and around it, I felt like just created more headlines
and more attention around it. Just like I think that
makes sense, yeah, because I also really like what you're
(42:32):
onto with the different pieces of news or new things
that they come up with. Starbucks always has new drinks,
Domino's has like driverless delivery and all that. Like Chick
fil A you gotta knowe like which day is it closed?
Pizza Hut is always like has a new box filled
with shelves of food in it, you know, and Taco
Bell always has new stuff. I do want to know
(42:52):
why anyone would ever google McDonald's because it is always
the same and you're not trying to find one because
if you just drive, like you'll run into one, you
know what I mean, Like you don't if you're on
a road trip, there'll be a signed for it on
the highway. They're everywhere. I do not know why you
would google McDonald's, Like that's my first google every morning, Blake. Yeah,
(43:14):
I'm just like, what are they up to McDonald's making
sure it's there? Yeah, making sure it's the same thing.
How's that claim? You know what's wild? Though? It got
so the things that people it got more people search
McDonald's more than Netflix. Wow, which seems like or Bank
of America. So this is one of my that's crazy questions.
(43:35):
Slash theories is that like Starbucks and Dominoes both have
really good apps as supplications, not appetizers. And so like,
I was so fucking confused when you first said that.
I almost threw up on my pants. So thank you
for for fixing that. That is something that happens to
(43:56):
you when you're confused. Yes, we have to give you
a very gentle briefing before every episode or else. It
takes some mess in here and I appreciate it. Yeah.
But like, so I'm just trying to McDonald's makes more
sense to me because nobody's like going into the McDonald's
app and like ordering on the McDonald's app. But like Dominoes,
(44:17):
is the one that I get. Yeah, I guess they
had the news hook about driverless cars. But for the
most part, I can't imagine like googling unless you're just
like what's the phone number four Dominoes because I don't
use apps that like were they I mean, they don't
know if they were also making headlines with like all
the you know, like minimum wage talk, but was there
(44:39):
anything that put McDonald's like whatever, It doesn't matter all
that to say people are focused on the quick service
world and yeah, long, um, I mean not long made
the struggle last, but long may continue until we get
better treatment. If Google really wanted to grab our attention,
they would be breaking each of these searches down by
like how many the people were googling Starbucks because they
(45:02):
needed a place to ship right, Like that's I have
to think that's like the like you know, like the
it's just Starbucks dicking coffee. Like we're honestly like just
as confused as you. Back when I worked at Cracked,
(45:22):
there was a search term I'm drawing a blank. I'm
like what it was, something with like horse I think
horse dicks. That was one of like the top search
terms that landed people on the website, Like when you
got down it was always like in the top hundred,
and we could never figure out why. It was like
Horsecock Miles Gray was a big one. Yeah, yeah, yeah
(45:47):
that you had one miles. Yeah, collect them. Yeah, I
love your necklace. By the way, thank you. Yeah, your
shelves are buckling under Well, I'm getting I'm getting a
delivery of a Clydesdale later. It's yeah. Oh man, no,
I have to picture. What do Clydesdale's dicks have the
(46:11):
like fluffy white fur like the bottom of the hooves.
Don't know, that's interesting as a very interesting blake. You
know those amphibians that have it's not a salamander, but
it has the fluffy gills like up near its head.
Isn't that situation with the Clyde sale hog with the
(46:31):
fluffy fur at the top or is it at the
base where the pubist? Oh? Yeah, what's it called like
an ox lock dole or something? Yes, yes, yeah, yes,
that's exactly what it is. If the you nail the pronunciation,
nail it, it's a very difficult axle. Fully, that's the
exul rosa quaddle. What is that? All right? Briefly, I
(46:56):
want to talk about yellow Stone because they just had
their season four finale. This is a if if you're
not familiar. It's a kind of neo Western show starring
Kevin Costner, made with technically neo Western John New Western.
What the fuck? Yeah, I don't know what that means.
It's it might be a term I just made up,
(47:19):
but I think it's I think it's like No Country
for All Men, blood simple. You know. Taylor Sheridan, the
creator of the show Yellowstone, has also made Hell or
High Water and wind River. So it's like westerns that
take place in a more modern setting, right, they say,
with right the definition subgenre that adopts its character setting
(47:42):
in themes and transplants them with contemporary sensibilities. Got it,
got it right? So I think also like Unforgiven and
more like postmodern westerns would count as neo Westerns. But
like I think that, I don't know. I find you
could say Mandalorian is a neo Western too, because they
produce a Becca just wrote, a neo Western is a
(48:03):
Western with a shaved head. I think, I like, give
my bad jokes? Do mart with red faces? I don't rever? Sorry? Yeah, yeah,
Becca and Justin gave me that joke sultaneously. Yeah, but
so I I got I got on a big neo
Western kick over the break and like watch Blood Simple
(48:27):
No Continent like the movies that I just mentioned. So that,
But so Taylor Sheridan is the guy who made Heller,
high Water and wind River and that he created this show.
It's about a family that like owns the largest private
ranch in Montana and have to defend against outside forces
like bordering native reservations and a public park and land developers.
(48:52):
So so they nailed one villain of those dreaded public park.
I now, I don't know what his point of view
is on this, like maybe they're maybe they're like anti heroes,
but you know, it does make sense that it would
be salient now seeing as like private property, like you know,
(49:14):
the Bundy's out in the West. I feel like there's
very interesting things happening in that world, and I feel
like private property seems to be kind of the original
sin of the United States that we can't really recover from.
And so this is all to say, I'm going to
watch yellow Stone or some of it and actually have
(49:36):
a a well informed to take instead of this. Yeah,
wasn't there this finale, like just setting records. Yes, so
this was some season four finale hit like had the
highest ratings for a day of and like that. They
premiered it on I guess it's Peacock even though it
(49:57):
seems like it's on Paramountain Network. Show its streams on
Peacock and they had like nine million people watch it
on the day it came out, which is a new record,
which is pretty wild when you realize that like every
show in the top ten of like most streamed shows
is on Netflix. But I mean it's it's definitely one
(50:19):
of those. It's like the it's again one of those shows,
like the biggest show that I don't know about. Yeah, yeah,
and I just see constantly see pre rolls for it,
and I'm like, I don't know, Kevin Costoner are cool,
but yeah, the neo Western man, I just do it.
So I did watch wind River, which is the only
of the one of those movies, those neo westerns I
(50:39):
hadn't seen, and it's about like crimes done to native
people's on like Native reservations, and it's protagonists is a
fish and wildlife tracker played by Jeremy Renner. But it's
cool because his ex wife is Native American. Oh cool, cool,
(51:00):
that's fine, but that not not his love interest mnd do.
His love interest is Elizabeth Olson, who is a who
comes out helps solve the crime. But like, yeah, the
the Native people aren't very useful or capable of dealing
with their own ship in the movie, so there's like
some very serious white savior ship going on. But I
(51:21):
I do want to watch this and see like how
they're handling a story that centers on a Bundy like
clan trying to defend their private property rights against the
public park system. Like I can't think of I mean,
it's got to be good, you know, like because I'm
you don't do numbers like that and be a totally
(51:41):
like nonsense show, you know, so not to say that
like it's not no, no no, but I mean, like
you know that they like even when I watched shows
that do numbers, I'm like, oh, I see why people funk.
I've never seen like a show. This is complete. This
is like a fever dream. I don't understand this at all. Yeah, right,
you guys haven't seen a well one of these, right,
(52:01):
A single episode of Yellowstone not not one. Yeah. I
started to have it. I have a rechargeable battery thing
I got as a promo for it. Yeah, it counts.
I saw the hell out of some billboards when it
first came out. But I thought you said Mystic River
when you said wind River. And when I was in
high school, I got like hired to write like hired,
(52:24):
I probably was free. It was free to write like
the dirty, like dirty movie titles. I guess for a
morning show. And I asked my best friend Jeff to
help me, and he wrote like a hundred of them,
but they were all so bad where it was like
Mystic River of Semen was like one of the ones
that he wrote, and it's like, no, you gotta like
do word play and it was like Pirates of the
(52:46):
Caribbean having sex with each other and it's like you
can't know it, just flit word play where kind of
with Jeff on this woman, I think I think you
steered him wrong. Mystic River Seemen was pretty good. Producer Becca,
what which show was good again? I'm yellow Stone. Yellowstone
is good? Yeah, okay, say Yellowstone is good. I watched
(53:09):
it with my mom in Texas from the South. Yeah, Yellowstone.
She loved it. And they have like Um, I don't
know if it's a spin off, but it's the same
creators who did Yellowstone I think. But it's like based
in like I don't know, the Organ Trail right, eighteen.
It's like got some year title, right, it's a prequel.
(53:32):
It's like these people's an that has country stars Faith
Hill and um wow, I'm spacing very famous m yea,
I love Kim Alright, well now I am feel less
dread about the fact that I just promised to watch
(53:53):
some of this. But yeah, Zike Gang, let us know
thoughts on Yellowstone. Yeah? Is it the new USh? Yeah,
your dad's favorite show. All right, that's gonna do it
for this week's weekly Zeite. Guys, please like and review
the show. If you like the show, uh means the
(54:14):
