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.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Do we we need cold over them?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Well? Yeah, I mean, plus, look at Miles's sour puss face.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh mad, it's all fucked It's all I can't I
can't even reference that anymore.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I don't even reference the best way to say everything's
fucked up?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Why did all fucked up? Why did entertainment one of
entertainment's most fucked up vile predators take up? It's all
fucked up now?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Fuck, I'm gonna do now, it's all fun.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm gonna do now. I'm I guess I'll just jump
off this building and rof to that.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
That how he puts a different emphasis on all the
second all fucked up now, all fucked up now, some.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Of us fucked up. Now, it's all fucked up now,
it's all funked up now?

Speaker 4 (01:14):
God, who is that character? Weirdle?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
It's like a X year old guy played by Adam
Sandler or Jay Leno.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, baby, it's all funked up now.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Honestly, the Squeaky, the Squeaky, the squeaky tank Treads is
actually the best thing we could have hoped for, the
specifics to really underline that this is a spectacular failure.
It's the fact that no one's talking while goes.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
His squeaky wheels through a dead, silent city and then
like just load like three of seven rows having people
in them and not like wined with people, like people
sprinkled throughout.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I remember seeing a very nervous looking man with his
hand over his chest in a like a red T
shirt and uh, he had like a pained grin or
he's wincing.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
It was very it was lyric.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I remember seeing a man with a hand on his
chest the red vest.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
In the red vest.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
Aout man when a dance say damn dude, when saying
went a Bob Dylan.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
That's my under raided the Bob Dylan to AZA's impression pipeline.
What is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are?

Speaker 6 (03:10):
So let me make people sad, all right? I to
my cats passed away two in the past year. Cat
passed away. My latest cat passed away last month, and
and so you know, if you want to make me happy, Texas,
come on now to community clash. Everybody else but I

(03:34):
take a fore friend. I don't. Yeah, you ain't got
to come. We don't. We won't care if the audience
is empty. We just want the money.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
It was like those QAnon movies or a bunch of
ye get church to buy out the theater.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Get your church to buy out the theater. Jackies's cat died,
but let me raise you back up. I don't want
another cat right now. But I think I want to
buy some fish. I want to like to get a
fish take I want to get a fish tank. So
I've been looking at like fish tanks and like how
to start one up and what to do and how

(04:07):
to clean it and things like that, because I'm like,
I had a fish tank when I was a teenager.
My family did, ye. But I go to like homies
houses and nobody got fish bro nobody aquarium is.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
It's not the wave that it used to be.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
I feel like, you know, like even when I was
in like my single phase, I never went over ladies
houses to have fish. Ladies or whoever you date, do
you go over people's houses. They have fishes, and you
like weird? Is that weird? It used to be like
a it used to be a like a statement of like,

(04:43):
oh like classiness and even yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, the bad guy and naked guns.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I think that's the thing, is it. We've just aged
out of the fish tank being cool because that was
like some drug dealer bad guy ship. When we're in
the eighties, you know, we're like, yeah, fish, how many
drug dealers are you dating? Chikis? Maybe that's the issue. Well,
drug dealers. So many drug dealers I knew in the
early odds, fucking fish tanks, fish tanks, some kind of

(05:11):
aquarium popping off Paula you got.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
A fish tank and she sells the best Cokaina hearing.
I shouldn't say that what people are getting deported, but.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, I do wonder how much of it is like
because I've been to people's houses with fish tanks, but
they're like people who have kids. They're the age that
my kids are, So I wonder if it's like a
thing that's like really appealing.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
To young kid.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
I guess I don't know. I just want to do
because I don't want another I don't want another cat.
I don't want a dog. But for the first time
since I've lived out in Los Angeles, I literally am
alone in my apartment, whether it is you know, I'm
not living with a partner or have like another creature. Yeah,

(05:56):
I feel like even though I know fish tanks are
work like that's why people don't really, I feel like
it's nice to just have something that I can like
take care of that feels a little less, you know, heavy.
Yeah yeah, yeah, but you know, maybe I'll even name
my fish. Are you ready? Because people I might not

(06:17):
be it might be too much.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
That's the blue one, Yeah, which is a name? Blue one,
that's blue one, that's red three.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
That's three right there, baby, So yeah, that's that's what
I'm I'm I think I'm gonna do, and I'm going
to pull the proverbial trigger.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
And I think I had a lot of guys for
somebody about to head to Texas.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
But you know what, I'm getting ready, baby, get ready,
you're in the zone. I'm coming. As soon as I
walk on stage, I'm have a cowboy hat on and
a rifle on my arm.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Shooting into the ground, propelling yourself off the ground, like
so we we experimented with the fish tank and the
experiment did not go well. Yeah, still not sure exactly
what I fucked up. But we've also been looking at turtles,
and both fish and turtles are the thing that I
run into because these are like starter pets. Like we

(07:15):
had dogs, but you know, they passed away from old age.
My wife and I've been married a long time and
where our kids are interested in pets. As Victor said
in the chat, like fish turtles, these are like your
starter pets to see if the kids are ready for
another pet.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
The size of tank.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Like you go on like Reddit and the people who
are turtle experts are like, you're gonna need to convert
a room to like keep a turtle, Like a turtle
needs a turtle.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
I know that's what I'm saying, but I mean the
thing what the turtle is They can grow based on
the size of space.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, and so like if you keep a.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
Turtle in a tank, it just won't grow.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Like friends have turtles that are in a like small
fish tank, and yeah, they seem happy. I fin spoken
at length with them, but they seem great. But then yeah,
you like sometimes they're like that's absolutely not enough space
for any breed.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
See, but if that's even the case, like that will
put me off to having a turtle.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Like that's exactly what happened. I cleaned the I cleaned
the tank. I was ready to pull the proverbial trigger,
and then I backed off once I saw how much
they were, Like, that's enough for a quarter of a turtle.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
Stop listening to lay.

Speaker 8 (08:33):
Turtle experts, listening to marine biology stop stop do your
own research, and we call it trial and era.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, maybe that turtle wanted to be small.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Maybe it does. Maybe it does. Maybe it wants to
touch each Maybe it wants to like touch each side
of the tank with all of his limbs. Utch my
ship out. Yeah, dominate the space, really dominate the space,
you know, maybe that's what it wants.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Look, he gets to like do little turns. You can move,
You can move plenty, all right, Andrew, what's something you
think is underrated?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh man, just using normal ass?

Speaker 6 (09:13):
Water?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Way underrated?

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Not using normal ass.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, listen, whatever I got.

Speaker 9 (09:20):
I took one step up in coffee madness, and I
am now buying separate minerals to put into distilled water
to make coffee with in the mornings.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
So you're using distilled water and adding from tap water
back in. Yeah, quite like a calibrated proportion, I suppose.
So I guess underrated not using an insane coffee process.
Here's the thing I will tell you, Jack, I don't
have the palette or the ability, especially given the like

(09:59):
cognitive dissonance has gone into this process to tell you
whether it tastes better. It tastes better to me, sure,
but that's because I fucking bought a powder off the
internet and now have to like buy water.

Speaker 9 (10:11):
Including this week, I went at midnight, past midnight to
the CVS that was open just so I could get
distilled water so I could have my morning coffee.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Damn. Wow wow culinary arts. Yeah, you're doing this thing
about like marinating a coke and the refrigerator for three weeks.
It tastes better.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Man, it's crispy, although it actually gets a little bit
overly crispy. I like the five day crispiness, five days.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Twelve hours. Got to bring it back. Something you think
is overrated?

Speaker 10 (10:47):
Okay, So this is inspired by a recent appearance Me
and My Boyfriends on Our Friends podcast recently rebranded to
Homie vulgaris because it used to be called the Aint
Shit Ship, but it had shit in the name and
the abbreviation is ASS. So they weren't getting the traction
that they wanted, so they rebranded. Shout out to Homie Vulgaris.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
You should have them on.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
They're great. But I saw a.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
Personality test that morning and I knew I was going
on their show, so I gave that because they have
a very interesting outlook on the world and I wanted
to find out if the axis it was like a
like a political axis, and it was like like the
X axis is like woke to chud and the Y

(11:38):
axis is like.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
Is chud or ax chud.

Speaker 10 (11:44):
So they ended up in like the top left quadrant
where they're very woke but they act chud. And it
made me realize, this is the path forward, right, this
is what the Democratic Party needs.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
We need dark woke.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, so woke.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
This is overrated, but no, shut this is still bad.

Speaker 10 (12:07):
But I think if you can, if you can speak
the language, you can, you can overcome the obstacles in
front of us. I think that like the right wing,
they're calling it the soy right. You know, if you guys,
if you guys, you've seen you heard all these yes,
because they're the scoldie ones, you know, they're the ones
that that are coming out that's like, y'all aren't defending

(12:29):
Israel hard enough, You're not, uh, you shouldn't be buying
this because they're woke. That you shouldn't be watching these
movies because they're woke. And it's like, brother, give me
a fucking break. It's an exact mirror of like twenty sixteen,
when it was like we have to reevaluate all of
these old classic movies for probably it's it's a it's

(12:50):
a repeat of like the most important thing right now
is not listening to baby it's cold outside.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
It's like, shut the fuck up. Like, I guess I
get it, but.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Like there are things going on. Yeah, I think there's
other things, like much worse things. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 (13:08):
And I think if we can just like put down
like all the kind of like scoldy annoyingness forever and
just be like, yeah, no, you guys are cringe and
we're making fun of you. Like it reminds me of
when what was it the conservatives are weird? Things like
that was the biggest fucking bump that Kamala had, you know,

(13:28):
that was.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
They were like it's too popular.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's mean, they're like too tough.

Speaker 10 (13:36):
We're acting like chud. It's like, well, maybe maybe you
should be a little bit more chud like, and maybe
maybe you should whisper to them a little bit. Maybe
you should go on uh Andrew Schultz podcast and like
talk about healthcare. I don't know, like if these motherfuckers
are willing to listen, just fucking talk to them, Like, yeah, the.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Left hose the advantage that they're not the ones who
are president, like the people on the right who are
like supposed to be like Chuds or you know, like
dark mega, Like they're having to be like the president
fucking rules okay, Like it's cool that he threw himself
a birthday party and more people should have showed up
there and saying happy birthday. Like it's like, no, that's something,

(14:18):
my god.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I feel like that's like the Rogan sect of like
Trump supporters slowly peeling off because they realize it was
easier to be like yeah, man, fuck Joe Biden because
I like, you know, maybe Trump whatever. But now they're like, bro,
I'm not about to fucking be like this shit's cool.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
Yeah, quickly like no, yeah, it's scoldiness.

Speaker 10 (14:36):
They're being like, you're not supporting the president hard enough,
because if the president is saying this and you're being skeptical,
then like it's they're scolding them. And it's like people,
I don't care what side of the political party you're on,
they don't like to be scolded. Like I don't think
people want to be like ignorant inherently. So I do
think there's a way to like reach people and like

(14:59):
like show people a new perspective, But you can't do
it through this like scoldie bullshit. And I'm sorry this
is a tangent, but like did y'all see Cash btel
on a on Rogan.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, dude, that goes like conversation.

Speaker 6 (15:15):
Yeah, with what you were just saying about. How like
like his whole thing about.

Speaker 10 (15:20):
Being like Joe, listen, come on, if anyone's not gonna
bullshit you Joe, it's gonna be Me's.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
The FBI, the organization somewhere.

Speaker 10 (15:33):
Yeah, and we should not be afraid to make fun
of his fucked up fly looking at like he looks
like Jeff Goldbloom, like almost at the full transformation. He's
like a third of a way to a cronin beast,
and I don't want to hear libs out here being like, well,
some your cross eyed friends might you're fucked up cross

(15:55):
eyed fly friends might hear this, Like Cash Motel might
not hear you making fun of him, but your.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Bug eyed, freak, blood born, villain looking friend, Mike.

Speaker 10 (16:05):
It's like, you know what if my friend who's bug
eyed gets upset about this, I'm sorry, dog, I'm gonna
have to cut you off for a minute.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
We got to growth thick.

Speaker 10 (16:20):
Yeah, it's just too perfect that like the person who's
like the face of who's at the the chair of
untrustworthiness also just looks incredibly untrustworthy.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Tell me because I didn't watch it. It's actually that
I was saving that Rogan episode. I usually catch him
right away, but then one I was like, too delicious.
I need to save it for a time hour I
can really sit with it. He came on and was
just like what the thing the thing.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
That happened was this was when Elon and then we're
beef and Trump were beefing, and he said, Yo, he's
in the Epstein files, right, And so this it happens
while Cash Matell's in the suit and he's like, pull
this up and he goes and so Rogan's just reading
and goes, damn, what do you think about that?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Man?

Speaker 2 (17:05):
So he goes, yeah, he goes, so does he have
the Epstein files? Like how would he know? And he's goes, A, dude,
I don't want anything. I'm not doing anything to do
with that right now.

Speaker 10 (17:13):
I just got Yeah, and he says he says some
amazing stuff where he's like, yeah, look, there's nothing uh
new in there Epstein. They have an amazing conversation about
Epstein killing himself, which is just crazy because like that's
the like Joe Rogan, like for all his faults, he
usually has a few things that like he won't budge on,

(17:35):
you know, like like legalizing Williams or yeah, like Epstein
killing himself, Like.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
How like to get a cattle proud up your ass until.

Speaker 10 (17:45):
You come Yeah, monkey's beating you up. Trans women in
sports is another is another one, but likeol on stage, Yeah,
like there's there's a few things that.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Only two hundred real stand up in the world. No, yeah,
there's only actually fifty real stand up comics in the world,
and he's one of them.

Speaker 10 (18:05):
Yeah, he's very he's very notorious for just kind of
like chameleoning with his guests, which is why he ended
up having such a right wing turn, you know. Yeah,
but even then, like even when he had like right
wing guests, if Stephen Crowder came on and was like
weed is evil, he'd be like, no, man, that's some bullshit.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Let me let me tell you what. It comes from
the ground and it's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, and earth is Earth fucked up.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
So it's just like crazy seeing this guy who's like,
I don't know, his whole thing has been like Epstein
definitely didn't kill himself. I watched this documentary and I
mean he's right, like like I'm not gonna say he's wrong,
broken clocks whatever, but yeah, he's just sitting in front
of the director of the FBI, and like the director
of the FBI is like, look, Epstein didn't kill himself.

(18:52):
The cameras weren't working, the guards were sleepy. There are
some small bean guards that had anxiety and they they
had to delete the footage or whatever. It's like, this
is ridiculous that you are not pushing back on this, Like.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, especially before he became the head of the FBI,
he was loudly screaming. He's like, this is freaky. I
don't know if he killed himself.

Speaker 10 (19:13):
And so he's like he was a big conspiracy guy.
That was like how he cut his teeth before becoming
the head of the FBI. And and the thing is
like and I feel like this also is a lane
for you know, Democrats, left wing people to kind of
push through, because if you go to the comments on
that video, they're not buying it, Like like even like

(19:36):
Joe Rogan's fans are like.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Bro, but are they Are they willing to put the
Clintons down? You know what I mean? Right, they go
down and they're like, well, you know this list I
think touches a lot more people than real Yeah, it's
a I.

Speaker 10 (19:49):
Think that's why the Democrats don't have a way forward
is because, like I mean, Bill Clinton, the Clintons are
heavily all over the Epstein stuff, and if they wanted
to like seize on that demographic, they would have to
they would have to stop wheeling Bill Clinton out to
dearborn Missouri or dearborn Michigan to be like it's too.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah, like like they.

Speaker 10 (20:15):
Still think that, like the Clintons are like the most
unpopular people on the fucking planet are to some the
way like politically viable.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
To them and they're not. It's crazy.

Speaker 10 (20:27):
It's the same reason like Kamala Lass. You know, it's
like Joe Biden, like they weren't willing to just like
you know.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
They're not willing to rock the boat. So yeaheah exactly, and.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
On people that are just deeply fucking unpopular.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, exactly, like and again it's and it's the wave
right now. Rocking the boat is the wave that y'all
are missing it, y'all.

Speaker 10 (20:49):
Oh my god. Slash it back and forth, baby yeah,
PLoP into the iceberg. Let's go like like get real, dude, Like.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break. We'll
come back and we'll talk about Elon Musk definitely not
on drugs, and we're back in Jakey's Neil.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yes, yes, Jack O'Brien, as you might remember on this podcast.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, we like to ask if your church history underrated,
but we also like to ask you was something he
thinks over it?

Speaker 6 (21:29):
You know, something something that I think is is overrated.
Let me tell you what's overrated, shall be slapping slapping
asses in the bedroom slapping booties, babies, slapping ass when
you when you get when you're making sweet love, when
you're making sweet love. Don't get me wrong, a few

(21:51):
ass some access great. But I feel like, you know,
especially men, and we're men, we can attest to this.
We sometimes we used to when we were younger. We
got a lot of hard things that we sought to
do from not real sex, from like porn, and you don't.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Learn is there another way to have sex?

Speaker 6 (22:10):
It should be, but it was not for us men
of our age, and you don't. Sometimes let me tell you, man,
slapping the ass is an art form. Sometimes I'm telling you,
y'all doing it not right. You're slapping too high, too low.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Too porny. Your too porny.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
And then also, not everybody, not every not every partner's
ass you got got the same as sensitivity. You know
what I'm saying. It's not everybody want the ass slapped
as hard as the last person you want. The people
don't want that at all. Some people don't want their
ass slap at all. Some people's asses don't jiggle when
you slap some people it's just like slapping a cracker,

(22:49):
and it might break in half.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
It might It makes the sound of a tennis ball racket.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
It tells some people don't want you to Venus Williams
their ass, don't. They don't want to Williams. Nothing nothing. So,
you know, I think the ass slap is becoming a
little too overrated.

Speaker 11 (23:09):
Lost art, maybe a lost art, because it's not so
much that it's overrated, it is that we are not
properly asking our partners what level of ass slap would
you like?

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Right right, this is I'm gonna ask you to a
point on here, where do you want me to slap?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah? How hard? From gentle to Philadelphia bus driver.

Speaker 6 (23:34):
And you know, listen, if somebody wants the Philadelphia bus driver,
which Myles I could tell is an o G ass slapper,
he knows the terms, maybe the Philadelphia ass slapper, the
Philadelphia bus driver is a classic ass slap the soul
out of that ass, slap the soul out of that ass.
Maybe he slapped the soul out of that ass. Some
people may not want that, like me, I don't want

(23:56):
my ass. I don't want that.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I don't want that. Honestly, it feels oh these days,
especially because you know your people. People like different parts
of their body stimulated.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (24:07):
I'm more like I'm a I'm a necky ear, you know,
if you're a year. Yeah, they'll do a s M R,
A little kisses and in the look just a little
insight to what happens behind the mics.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
When we turn the mics off, Jack Chuckies and I
we just start kissing each other's next starts.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I've got weird when I asked him to hold my
hands to make direct eye contact with me while we
were because our.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Issues aren't with intimacy, they're with trust, not like eye contact.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Contact.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
I found out you don't like small kisses on your thighs,
you know, And now I know that, and now.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
And it's weird. He doesn't like eye contact in the
day to day.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
But in the bedroom he is locked in, locked in,
locked here, right here. I just saying, right here, right here, with.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
That a lot with that, be a bus driver slap
and then hit you with the new Jersey turnpike. Stare
bab it where it's just staring right. So, yeah, got
up to the Tri state area.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
And then the Delaware I don't know.

Speaker 6 (25:16):
The Delaware preview pumps previewp Yeah, so that's the preview
pumps before you know, you show, you show your partner
like this, this might be what you get. This is
what can happen. This is what can happen. It's the
preview pump.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Delaware is great at those, all right. I feel like
there should be New Jersey because New Jersey is the
place where the gas pumps are not self service.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
You have somebody there to service you. So the pre pump.
I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
We'll work shop it. We'll come back to you guys
and let you know what Delaware is. In the meantime,
let's get into some news story, shall we.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
We shall We got a grift check on Ale Trump
Isle everywhere infinity. Yeah. I'm just every day there's like
a new thing where you're like, man, Trump just made
seventy billion dollars from this thing that's clearly a quid
pro quo with another government or entity. And I'm just like, yeah, okay.

(26:14):
And I took a second because, like Jackie kept bringing
up that Masha Guessing quote about how like how quickly
things become normal and then you forget how just just
a few moments ago things seemed beyond the pale, and
no elected official would ever dare to do this. But like, again,
just just off the top, right, we had the three
hundred million Elon gave to the election, another one hundred

(26:36):
million he gave gave after that Tesla infomercial at the
White House where we got everything's computer. He gave him
another hundred million after that.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
What just like he's not running for president anymore?

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, I think more just like to be like help
my efforts, like I need your backing to do whatever
manner of fuckery is necessary.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Like to just give the president one hundred million dollars, Well.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
It's to you know, it's committing it to spending to
other groups. So it's not a direct line, you know
what I mean, That's how.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
How the government works.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
I think we're beyond that at this point.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I know we're definitely beyond it.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
But it's just like thinking it seems so weird to
just be like, yeah, this guy gave me one hundred
million dollars in a briefcase. Yeah, well, well he's committed
it to some group cut for my political purposes. It
is not specifically, although I will find a way to
get that money in my pocket. And then also look
there was the jet from Cutter then there was that
fucking trip he took to the Middle East where there

(27:32):
was like five million dollars a plate dinners to fucking
meet him. It's all just adding up. And then there's
the Don Junior.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Creating his own Soho house for wanna be fascists in
DC that costs like five hundred thousand dollars to a
year to.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Join, five hundred thousand dollars a year to join to join,
and then maybe you get access, you know, like the
grift there is like, well it was done from Junior's thing,
that's half a mill to join that I'm probably gonna
get access and you probably won't, yoink.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
And then now we have just ripped this new financial
disclosure report from Trump just in twenty twenty four. This
dude made six hundred million dollars. That's from crypto golf
club licensing, other various licensing deals that he's done, including
what we see now because we saw the guitars, we
talked about the watches, all this shit. Now the latest

(28:22):
thing is Trump Mobile, which is a mobile phone and
network for real Americans, and it's made of fake gold
and the fine print is really something because it's basically like, hey, man,
this shit could end as an actual telecoms company at
any fucking moment, and you can't do shit about it.
You should have known better. We are trying.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
It looks like an iPhone, Yeah, an iPhone that has
an iPhone that they did gold, but then the back
has a T from T Mobile on it.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
It looks like the one.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, a T one, T one.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
I'm assuming this is the first model of it, and
the American flag.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
And then like a little American flag. But the T
one clearly designed by people who didn't make it to
the level of math where you had like tiad tooth
you know, no, just new one.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, t one. This is the T one baby. Yeah.
The website it said repeatedly Warren's customers that its use
of the Trump trademark quote can be terminated or revoked,
while noting that quote trump Mobile, its products and services
are not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by the
Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principles. Again,

(29:32):
they talk about how reliable this network is. The terms
also make clear that the Trump organization quote is not
liable for third party services it relies on, warning that
wireless services can be withdrawn permanently without notice.

Speaker 6 (29:45):
So ka like companies are going to be like, oh no,
we don't want to have our app on your phone.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
It's using Android, so anything in that Google Play store
is available. It's more just like whatever telecoms company who's
network bandwidth reere using. If they decided like, hey, actually
no we're not doing this, then sorry, your your phone
might just be a golden brick. Well you could probably
use it for another network. But yeah, this is how
things are now. We're at now with the four hundred

(30:13):
and ninety nine dollars, we've got gold iPhone at home iPhone.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
You know what.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Listen, man, if it wasn't such an evil man, I
would almost kind of respect the grift, you know, I
would you know, like man, the ability to turn anything
you do into a money making venture. Almost it needs
to be studied because like this is great, Like the presidency.

(30:43):
The office of the president is already a fucked office
in general, and now we have openly yeah, like made
it back money making a money making venture and it
was so funny. I am a very big proponent. I
think this is wrong. Let me say that for all
the new people who don't know, well, I'm saying, I

(31:05):
think what's happening with this the grifting is wrong. All
the new zeitgeys fans who don't know me. Let me
just say that first and foremost. However, I am a
very big proponent of like keep the same energy. Right
if like, if I do something and you tell me

(31:25):
you shouldn't do that, and then you turn around and
you do the same thing, that that makes me even
more mad. Versus if you tell me if I'm doing
something and you like, well shit, I do that ship too,
then like let's both do it. Like, you know, like
if Obama did this, like they would have been boy,
they would didn't even wear a.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Country can suit.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
He can't wear a suit nothing, nothing like national skin.
Like that's the crazy to me. It's just not ale
because it's so easy. It's just shamelessness. It's just privilege,
that's all.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
It's just privilege.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Recognize that the way the system works is that he
has been a millionaire since he was a baby and
has just been able to push his privilege and then
like bully people into like backing down anytime. His you know,
ability to just grow and grow and grows privilege with
best challenge.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
But that Obama reference is actually pretty amazing because I
was in this Guardian article I was reading, you know,
one of the ethics lawyers who worked in the administration.
They were talking about how fucking buttoned up shit used
to be in terms of like appearances of conflict of interest.
I think Norma Eisen was saying, when Obama's in White House,
they told him he couldn't refinance the house that he

(32:41):
owned because he was in the midst of regulating the
banking industry. And they're like, oh, yeah, this would not
be a good time to do a refine, especially when
you're doing stuff with the banking like how far we've
come from, like that sort of thing of like which
is fair, which is all fair? Yeah, yeah, but I'm
just saying that back then, don't refine it your fucking
house right now, because again, you are the most powerful

(33:03):
person regulating laws to now. Yeah, man, you want to
sell a mobile phone, that's like a grift. You want
to sell a fucking whatever the fuck it is crypto.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
And open green cards?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, open up an entirely new revenue stream for people
to use blockchain like this sort of the opaqueness of
blockchain to to hide who's giving you money? Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure,
But again I think just a good indication to show
like how how much? Now we're like, oh okay, yeah,
I guess that's what he's doing.

Speaker 8 (33:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Is there a level that he hasn't gone to yet?
Because this is like some like candy bars. I guess
he probably like there are probably candy bars out there
that are using his thing. But like I'm just trying
to think of like the most.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Mister beast ass. Yeah, it's it's yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
There's nothing. There's nothing he can do.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
He would have to literally be like I am taking
the funding for all children's leukemia research and it's mine now,
Like that's the next word me, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, birthday in the fuckers didn't come to my party.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
That's I think like the next level of it is
straight up just like here's money from here that is
now just mine. I don't give He's probably gonna be
selling his bath.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
Water like Sidney s Whitney, like Sidney sweety. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Maybe, like he'll probably do that extra little skin tags
in there.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
Orange orange.

Speaker 8 (34:21):
Hugh.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
Do you think he's gonna start like shocking it and
start doing like a bunch of commercials too with.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
The general that is general, the big strung general that.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Is the bridge that he isn't quite crossing yet. Is
like full on TV commercial to sell a thing that
he's behind, like things will evoke his name or whatever.
But I guess maybe no, he did that before. I
don't know.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
Man, he's done. He's done well. He did it when
he wasn't the president. Yeah, like after in between the terms,
he did like a couple like infomercial type commercials.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
I mean shoes, He did shoes. But it's always just
like him standing in front of a green screen being
like these are great, Yeah, reading off of a prompter
words that he'd never seen before.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
Yeah, we need to put the fear of God back
into some of these politicians. It feels like I'm not
saying how we do that.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
There's only one rich guy who's losing sleep right now.
It's the what is it de Beers or like one
oh yeah, yeah yeah, one of those jewelry billionaire is
like guys like with the inequalities out of control the
party I think, right or maybe LVMH Yeah yeah, yeah,
it's like the inequalities out of control.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm losing sleep over it.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
He's the only one everybody else is like, no, we're
good man, we got.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
All the Because he's French, he has a little more
context for you know, out of control wealth breeding, unhappiness.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
All right, uh, let's check him real quick with ICE,
because the fascist white supremacy army known as ICE is
getting a lot of help. And it's not just doctor
Phil As we talked about last week, it was actually
recently reported that the airlines have been feeding private information
about citizens directly to the DHS and ICE via a

(36:06):
data broker called Airlines Reporting Corporation.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Oh okay, so probably that's like an independent thing where someone.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Just yeah, like a government agency. Noeah, they're a broker
that is just taking our money and trying to sell
it to the highest bidder, and in this case, the
highest bidder. There's just there's a lot of ways this
has actually been happening a lot where data brokers like
buy your information from any company that you know, you
give it to, and then like the government can circumvent

(36:38):
all these laws about how they you know, spy on
us or you know, access our information because they just
like pay for it from the.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Ends, like oh, I don't need a warrant because they're
selling this information that I just transact with or for.
So yeah, all clear, all clear. I just like how
that also that Airlines reporting corporation own by at least
eight major US airlines. They owned by Delta Airlines, where
they're like, look many others, we can make another pretty
penny by packaging together all our flight manifest and then

(37:09):
selling that off to people.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah, we talked before about like there's this article like
a long time ago, like six years ago, it was like,
oh yeah, credit card companies are now no longer considered
themselves like credit card companies. They consider themselves like data
mining companies. They they are taking your information and selling it.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
To the highest bidder.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
Yeah, and that's all up there, man.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
But yeah, it's like been, It's spread to everyone, everyone
who who has any information about you, Like, hey, I
got some over here. I know they took a flight
last week because they want to anybody want want that ship,
And about.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
That, I know what it gonna be. I know what
they gonna be. I know what it gonna be on
this day, at this time.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
It's just wild again to see just how just capitalism
all just hand in hand with this sort of now
super fuck up draconian like people kidnapping operation. It's just
like yeah, and they do that by help by getting
the information on people's whereabouts from the companies that were
also fucking beholden to with our bills and shit like that.

(38:13):
It's really I don't know, it's it's a lot like yeah,
right exactly, Like even credit reporting agencies are like, yeah,
you want to buy this ICE, we got some for you,
We got something for you.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Fucking Lexus Nexus. I don't know if people know Lexus Nexus,
but like Lexus and nes is just like a research
tool that like it costs a lot of money. But
like when I worked at ABC News, like you got
a Lexis Nexus account, it was awesome. You could like
find every newspaper article ever, you could find court cases. Yeah,
like kind of a kind of a startling amount of information.

(38:44):
And Lexus Nexus signed a sixteen point eight million dollar
agreement with ICE to help them surveil pre criminal's movements.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
I'm sorry, pre criminal, pre crime, pre crime, pre crime, yeah,
minority report.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Lexis Nexus has deals with car makers like General Motors, Honda, Kia,
and Hyundai, which basically that they became the subject of
a highly publicized lawsuit, which we've talked about before. But basically,
the car companies are selling the data on how you
drive to Lexus and Nexus, who in turn sold it
to insurance companies, resulting in higher rates for drivers. And yeah,

(39:24):
they're just it's just different people selling your information. That's
like what a big chunk of the economy is now
and we're.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Away for free.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
It feels it feels I mean like we also with
the with Doge and elon getting access to all our
Social security shit, it just feels such like a daunting time.
Even more, it feels like we just keep going lower
and lower.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, and when we don't, we've just given up total control.
Like there's this massive, vast, impossible to like even keep
track of because of how complicated it is system that
were like we've we lost control of because we were like,
I guess the market is good at deciding things.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Well, just even look at how the American government handles it,
Like even when they're trying to regulate stuff, they're just
sort of like, well, you can't sell Americans information to
like China or Russia or Iran, or North or North
Korea or North Carolina or North Carolina too, but you
know what to other agencies in the US. That's fine,

(40:27):
that's fine, that's that's data meant that was terrorized. Yeah, yeah,
to terrorize our own public.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
The laws of the Biden administration passed were to protect
that protect your information from going to other countries. But
we're good with it going to ICE. There's also a
data broker called Venel that sells location data of smartphones
to US law enforcement agencies, including ICE, CBP, and FBI.
So that's you know, they're basically they have tracking devices

(40:55):
on all of us that we carry around.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
Yeah. I also I don't know if you guys have
talked about this yet or plan to talk about it,
but like, just in relation to the ICE, what's going
on right now, especially in Los Angeles. I'm sure you
guys saw that story about the singer who got told
by the Dodgers to not sing the national anthem in
Spanish and she did anyway, and they bander even though

(41:23):
the national anthem is the version she's saying is an
official national anthem of the United States for Spanish speakers.
How they also had somebody sitting right behind home plate
in the MAGA hat but kicked out somebody who wore
an anti ice Dodges. I just want to say that
as to Dodger fans or if your organization, especially if

(41:47):
you are a personal color and you support your teams
and they're doing shit like this, like the Dodgers' organizations
should be fucking ashamed of themselves. They are not, but
they should be ashamed of themselves.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Only like three NFL teams also that deigned to say
anything about what's happening, like the Chargers. Okay, okay, Based Chargers,
thank you for speaking up.

Speaker 6 (42:10):
Thank you speaking up, man, and so many teams. We
got it to mand, we got it to we. You know,
we're given, we're given our hard earned dollars. And especially
like the Dodgers, the Latin community in the Mexican community
are and they came, they came to Los Angeles shitting
on the Mexican community.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
It took decades for Mexican fans in LA to forgive
what happened in Chavez was being for the building of
Dodger Stadium for them for to then embrace the team
like that was a whole process. And then to now
get to this point and just be totally mum with
it is. Yeah, it's it's I think again. It just

(42:47):
shows you where people who they're in solidarity with. It's
not with it's not with the fans, it's not with
the people that are paying to keep this machine afoot.
It's with the other wealthy people who are calling the shots.
Because yeah, I mean, like even that whole trip to
the White House was such an l and seeing all
those players go up there, and like some obviously were
maybe quietly not as enthusiastic, but either way, just like

(43:09):
that visuals not Yeah, it was not something that warmed
the heart strengths.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Turns out they're owned by billionaires.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Billionaires. They surely not every team, Sure not every team's
owned by some wealthy group of wealthy.

Speaker 6 (43:24):
A couple of teams are owned by people who only
have nine hundred and ninety million.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
I mean, what the Green Bay Packers, right, they're publicly owned.

Speaker 6 (43:31):
Technically, they're just owned by think technically, I don't want
to talk about my Wisconsin Knights. I'm a Chicago Bear fan,
so fuck the Packers. But like you know, as far
as the owners go, yeah, I'm sure there are some
great owners that they have.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Because Bears are owned by the pope, right, Chicago's.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
We are and yes, we are. We're going to have
mass mass on at Soldier Field every Sunday now.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
But anyways, they're the you know, the Democrats tried to
push through some things about like using data brokers to
access information for ICE. Biden issued an executive order putting
a stop to data brokers selling private information, but his
was like, we said only to China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba,
and Venezuela. And eventually the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposed

(44:18):
a rule to crack down on data brokers that would
obligate them to comply with accuracy requirements and provide consumers
access to their data, so at least would be like,
we can't lie about you, you know what we're giving
to ICE, and the Trump administration quickly scrapped that rule.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, the clock's taken with the ICE
stuff because they've already projected they're a billion dollars over
budget and the fiscal year ends in like three months.
And no, yeah, they're like the way they're describing ICE spending,
they're like, dude, it's they act like there's no loss,
Like to spend this much money is absolutely it's mind blowing,

(44:56):
which is another reason why they're so desperate to get
this big beautiful ball sack bill over the line because
they need so much more funding to really ramp up
the intensity of these rays and to also detain people.
So yeah, anyway, money we.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Are, and I know we say this a lot, so
fucked like we are for the moment, we are barreling
down to suggests financially, economically, socially, mentally, some people physically
like this. We just you know, start smoking weed if

(45:31):
you don't, because we don't need something to keep us afloat.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Keep keep your head on the swivel.

Speaker 6 (45:36):
It, stay blunted, Yeah, stay blunted, and keep your head
on a swivel, baby, because it's it's getting rough out
here in these streets. You know, as a matter of fact,
I'm not You can't even find me in these streets.
No more, boy, you got you gotta find me.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
That people have.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Always been told they can find you every end of
every episode.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Better go to a data broker and find my my data.
If you want to find me, that's the only way
you can find me.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Now, I guess people are willing to pay a lot
of money to find out where we are. Maybe we
could just sell that off like a location location with you.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
That's another tear patient for six a month location, keep
a tracking device on my costume.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I trust to be all right, let's take a quick break,
we'll come back. We'll talk about some bullshit, and we're back.
And I think you guys talked about this fella when
I was out. Curtis Yarvin. Oh yeah, tech philosopher who

(46:42):
like when you look at the ship, he was like
writing all this ship about like how America would be
better off as a monarchy and uh specifically one run
by tech billion billionaires like in two thousand and eight.
But so the New Yorker wrote along profile on him.
That's like why, like just the levels of like just

(47:03):
how pathetic this guy is is pretty fun.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Like it's just it's worth a read.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Like throughout he's like, well, like I did this debate
where I absolutely demolished him, but the problem was that
I was fat and he wasn't. So now I'm on
like the drugs, do you think they're working? Yeah, now
I'm on ozipic. Do you think they're working? What do
you think of my new look? Like just constantly just
fishing for compliments from this new Yorker reporter being like,

(47:29):
do you think I'm hot?

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Do you think I look good?

Speaker 1 (47:32):
But as far as things that, like one of the
details that's just kind of casually dropped that I found
pretty remarkable is so he just like started out as
being a guy with a blog being like people like
Mark Andreasen or Steve Jobs should be in charge of

(47:53):
the world. And then like Mark Andresen reached out and
befriended him and started investing in his company.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Like that's how how his career was built. And in
all those like say, like those group chats that these
billionaires have too, where they have like these debates that
they're also exchanging more of this information too, Like it
was an interesting article from this year, And I don't know.

Speaker 10 (48:15):
I see it as like a very I guess kind
of like meta reactionary movement where it's like like even
like most like conservatives like still are like, yeah, well
we're we're a democracy or a republic where this or that,
and he's like the people like this are like, well
what if we were a monarchy? So it's like it's

(48:37):
still the same kind of like like aims towards like
conservative fascist goals, but with like a different kind of
like I don't know, a different kind of like contrarian
patina to it. It's it's it's it's very faux edgy,
Like I think a lot of people like this, like
since since the Elon Musk takeover of Twitter, they really

(49:00):
like blown up. Like I don't think without the uh
with without X the everything app, I don't think a
Curtis Yarvin could really exist. I think with that we
would still have like people like Ben Shapiro, who is
flopping fail like people like that like are all like flopping.
And now we're getting like a new kind of like

(49:22):
school of like conservative commentators, and they're all kind of like,
I mean, they're more like mask off about being like
yeah I do race science, like yeah, right, yeah, just
straight up. But I feel like also at the same time,
like the conservative movement is very like anti intellectual. I

(49:45):
think that's why like a lot of these like pot
that's why like people like, oh, there's a hummingbird out
my window. Oh my god, it was so pretty, it
was so cool. It's it's that like there's a big
there's a big swath of like anti and sellectual conservatism,
where like people like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson where
they have to like kind of debate and like prove

(50:08):
their point through like stuff like that are getting replaced
by like podcasts bros. Who are just like, yeah, I
don't know, man, Like you can just have a beer
with Trump and like it's cool and stuff like that
and you don't have to really like explain your position
as much. So I do have kind of maybe a
hopefulness to it that I think that this like other
side of like this kind of like I call it

(50:31):
like New York Republicanism because it has this kind of
like intellectualism to it that I don't think is going
to appeal to most people.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
To people actually like vote for him.

Speaker 10 (50:44):
Yeah, yeah, Like like I don't I don't think most
people really like care about like being like, oh now
I know all the science of why like people are
like lesser van and stuff like that. It's like, I
think when you add that, you're forcing your audience to
like do too much like reading, and these motherfuckers don't read.

(51:05):
Like it's reactionary for a reason, like like you're appealing
to the reactions of people. So I don't think there's
really even a need for a person like this to
come in and explain why you're being reactionary. I think

(51:28):
that that's a thing that like people who like go
to college and don't come out liberal, they they want
to like find an intellectual reason for like they want
they want to find an intellectual reason for why they
didn't get pussy in college and being like all of
these girls are women are lesser people, and they don't

(51:51):
understand my massive brain is an intellectual enough reasoning for them.

Speaker 6 (51:58):
But I think your average conservative is just.

Speaker 10 (52:00):
Like, yeah, dude, I love Trump and like you know,
probably goes to the gym and like has sex with
people like that person is not going to be the
target audience for the Like they're still going to be
watching like fresh and fit and like yeah, dunking their
face and like ice bats but not reading.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
The seven major steps of Curtis Jarvin's butters. They gave
that shup the Congress.

Speaker 10 (52:23):
Yeah, they read Jordan Peterson's book and they're like this
is boring. Reading's fucking gay and I don't like it,
but I did. Sorry, I'm yapping a lot, but you
you brought up Yarvin And I found this quote from
the author Joyce Carol Oates that I liked a lot
where she got into a tiff about Kurt Curtis Arvin,

(52:44):
and she said, My overall takeaway from the Curtisy Arvin
profile is that there must be millions of smart alec
show offee kids who annoy their teachers and go on
to annoy other adults through their lives with their contrarian
pose that hardens to a care over their faces, until
as adults they still harbor a delusion that if there

(53:05):
is a king or a furor, he'd be impressed with
this guy's motor mouth and appoints him to his cabinet
rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist,
as Stalin did routinely. Yeah, and I think that is
spot fucking on.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
No.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
I'm sure they gotten very long.

Speaker 10 (53:26):
Back and forth, as all these losers do because they
spend all their time on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
But all he had to do was like you just
needed this one guy who goes with the grain of
American capitalism. Like this guy has like no claim to anything.
He's just like, you know, a child, like he like
graduated from college when he was like fifteen or whatever.
But all he did was just like tell the people
who are rich and powerful what they wanted to hear.

(53:51):
And they were all like, good, this guy's fucking genius.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Holy shit.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
And then like go, they like found him, they like
invested in his company, they like rate you know, he
becomes like the center of this like intellectual circle, and
it's it's just so pathetic how easily it works. The
one interesting detail is that he doesn't think the Trump
administration's going farther far enough. He's quoted as saying, if

(54:20):
you have a Trump boner right now, enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Gross.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
It's as hard as you'll ever get. Oh what many
see the most dangerous assault on American democracy in the
nation's history, Yarvin dismisses as woefully insufficient a ViBe's coup.
Without a full blown autocratic takeover, he believes a backlash
is sure to follow, which it might be what we're
seeing right now. This is what he was saying, like
the day after inauguration when I spoke to him. Recently,

(54:46):
he quoted the words of Louis day Sanju, the French philosopher.
He said, he who makes half a revolution digs his
own grave. And yeah that as before he has Before
he can finish that, the New Yorker reporter starts to
in nerd alert and punching him on the shoulder.

Speaker 6 (55:07):
I was like, all motherfuckers tried to do a coup,
Like what are we talking about?

Speaker 2 (55:11):
His whole thing? He has all these steps that you know,
obviously like Elon Musk is also like a follower of
this ideology, and you know it's all about like the
steps are campaign on autocracy. Okay, you did that purge,
the purge the bureaucracy. You tried that with Doze to
a certain extent, but you didn't go full blown purge. Third,
ignore the courts. Yeah, you're doing that part before co

(55:33):
op to Congress. Yeah, you're doing that centralized police and power.
In the midst of that, there's still you know, they're
trying to get there. Yeah, we're working on that, shut
down elite media and academic institutions. Not quite getting that done, definitely,
Yeah they're working on it, but yeah, that quite hasn't happened.
Then turning out the peoples to have like your own

(55:55):
basically enforcers on the street of your thinking. And when
you look at the no king shit, you're like the
numbers just aren't there for that part, which is truly
part of like his vision on how to have this
like techno fascist dream world.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
But as we've been saying, like the Masha Guessing quote
and like quote from anybody who's inside fascist takeovers, like
it always is, like, man, it was not as bad
as we thought it was two years ago. I feel
like that's where things are gonna get worse. It is
you know, they're they're going to do all those final steps.

Speaker 10 (56:28):
It's funny to me that like these people like don't
like they're all kind of tripping over each other not
to really have power, but to just be like the
unique advisor to power, like right, like yeah, and in
literal ways too, because like.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Yeah, yeah, right, a little bird told me something you
might want to know.

Speaker 10 (56:52):
Okay, I will say, though I wouldn't I wouldn't write
it off like entirely, Like I mean.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Like what we see is they have a blueprint, but
it's not everything. Like I always say, like they're trying
to speed run the Third Reich in a way that
it's it's a there's a little bit there are other
ways to do this, but they're very much trying to
be like Okay, do this, this, this, this, this and this,
and if you just do that sequence you get third Reich.
I think it does how it feels like and why

(57:20):
we have this just why.

Speaker 10 (57:21):
I don't know if there's like that much of a
concrete plan. I mean, I could eat my words on this,
but I don't think there's as much of a concrete plan,
only because it's Trump and it's not someone else. And
I think Trump is like just uniquely like certainly a
fascist and certainly advances fascist interests, but he's very He's stubborn,

(57:46):
you know, he's stubborn and caddy, and unless you're like
Benjamin Nett and Yahoo, it's kind of hard to like
actually move him in those directions, no matter how many
little birds you have with.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
I think that's the thing, is like where all the
people know he's basically like a zombie corpse that if
you hijack, you can get you can make shit happen
in America because every interest has their way. Like it's
like the crypto people are kind of infesting his brain,
infecting his brain. The Project twenty twenty five people, like
even when you saw with the ice raids, how he
was like, you know, we've got to dial back the

(58:18):
raids on agriculture and hotels and restaurants. I'm hearing very
good people. You're like, what the fuck? And then Stephen
Miller through a fucking fit. And that's why the other
like yesterday, Trump completely changed course. He's like, we're doing
the raids again. Fucking yeah, because everyone is in his
ear trying to get him, like trying to make the
office of the president.

Speaker 6 (58:38):
Raids will continue until morale improves.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Right what One other quote from the article, yar Evin
explained that during the Elizabethan era, the finest minds sentences
were to be found at court. When I asked if
he saw a parallel with Trump's center circle, he burst
out laughing.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Oh no, he said, my god.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
So that is one thing like as we look their
execution of the big parade and stuff like that, it's
like he doesn't have the brains in You know, a
lot of these people are fucking idiots. They just want
proximity to power, that's all. That's that's basically their defining feature.
Like he's going out and being like, find me the

(59:18):
finest minds. You know you've got You've got like c
tier Facebook ship posters.

Speaker 10 (59:25):
Yeah, in your cap that's also it's ironic because the
finest minds weren't what one year the election, it was
the dumbest guys on like podcasts and like the lowest
common denominator type people that Democrats weren't able to turn out.
Like it's the finest minds are say it again with
a bunch of fucking nerds like.

Speaker 5 (59:47):
Nerds.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
All right, uh, let's talk pizza real quick, shall we,
Because this is just a story that is getting a
lot of play. I'm not sure if it's actually true
because there's a McDonald's in the pen goun but basically
real store. Yeah, there's a there's a McDonald's in the pen.

Speaker 10 (01:00:04):
Like community college that there's five food courts inside the Pentagon,
Like the Pentagon is like this reassive mall.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:00:15):
So when that plane hit, they were like, is Panda
Express okay?

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
You know what borrow has fallen before?

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Ground zero is the name for, you know, the World
Trade Centers. It was the name of a hot dog
stand in the middle. There's like a little park in
the middle of the Pentagon that's five acres and in
the very center of that is a hot dog stand
that just sold hot dogs and that hot dog stand
was called ground zero. So like in this little nook
right here and the there's a there's a rumor that

(01:00:46):
like Soviet intelligence, you know, doing satellite flyovers. We're like,
we're like, why do all of their agents go to
the center of this nook every.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Every day, every day the same time?

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
And but that sounds like me, that sounds like some
ship where they are just like trying to make the
enemy sound stupid.

Speaker 10 (01:01:04):
I like how the like American equivalence of like a
Game of Thrones betrayal Garden is like.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
The hot dog.

Speaker 10 (01:01:12):
It's like where you go with your advisor to be like, no, no,
can you pass the relish. By the way, there's not
going to be any betrayals at the post means for me,
there's only your closest of friends. But please please enjoy another.

Speaker 6 (01:01:27):
Cost Coast soda.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Housing three hot dogs. Just so you know, this is
what's inside the food court, though dependinggon there's a McDonald's,
a five guys, Popeyes, Starbucks, dunk In some way, Baskin
Robbins sucks.

Speaker 6 (01:01:43):
That's a shitty line.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
There's also Lebanese Tavern and Smoke Dat Barbecue.

Speaker 10 (01:01:48):
That one's the Lebanese place sounds kind of good. They
don't have a fucking what's the place? The mall like
the Bourbon chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:01:57):
Every time I go to the mall and and when
I get the freeze ample, I'm like.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
There's more. Then there's a taco bell, there's pot belly,
that's what.

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Right, they need some antis.

Speaker 10 (01:02:15):
Oh yeah yeah, Auntie Annie's. I don't know, I don't
know how to say it. I feel like I'm saying
it wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Every time. It's like, Wow, you said.

Speaker 10 (01:02:24):
Auntie Annie's. But I'm like white, So I don't feel
right saying the word auntie Auntie.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
All right, But anyways, so this this is all now
in the news because the US government is repeatedly denied
involvement in Israel's initial attack against Iran.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
They're like this, guys, what.

Speaker 8 (01:02:48):
Who this was?

Speaker 10 (01:02:51):
Who's responds made missiles? I think you should leave ask cabinet.

Speaker 8 (01:02:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Some reports suggest that the US may have played a
greater role than has officially been admitted, and some of
those reports involved Papa John's and Domino's because the pizza
index or pizza meter it was flaring up. This is
a famous theory for predicting global turmoil by monitoring deliveries
from pizza restaurants near the Pentagon. When something big is

(01:03:22):
going down, everyone's stuck in the office working late and
stress eats pizza.

Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
And okay, yeah, so that it's that they're working late hours.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
Working So that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Well, like a lot of people were like, how that, Actually,
there's plenty Like actually an official Pentagon spokesperson was like,
we have plenty of pizza options inside the Pentagon, thank
you very much. Yeah, it's like, yeah, but this was
in the middle of and it was also in the
middle of the night. And also yeah, like sometimes you
don't feel like walking fucking three miles to get to
the food court, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:03:52):
Also sucks, right, I'd rather have Papa John's any day.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Yeah, So the Papa John's close to the Pentagon was
flaring up big time right before this, as was the Dominoes.
Like they you know, people because for this very reason,
people are like constantly monitoring the activity and they were
like on high alert before the bombs started dropping.

Speaker 10 (01:04:16):
Essentially, can I pause a separate theory, yes, that maybe
they're they're leaking this this pizza information. So when you google,
like pizza related stuff, pizza gate doesn't come up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
Uh huh, that would, but that would benefit the Democratic
Party more than the Republicans in power.

Speaker 6 (01:04:34):
Right, I guess you are right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
That is true. Sorry, as someone who look I went
to Comet Pizza in DC. This is really I looked
for them kids. They were not there.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
I went in full tactical gear yep.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yeah, but yeah, but my my, my like sort of
plate carrier was super saggy because I didn't actually have
the ballistic plates. There was.

Speaker 10 (01:04:53):
There was a movie that came out last year called
The Sweet East that I really enjoyed where they go
to like Comet pe like the beginning of the movie
and Andy millin Auchus shows up and it's.

Speaker 6 (01:05:03):
Like, where's the fucking kids? Where are they?

Speaker 10 (01:05:06):
And he like grabs this girl and they like find
like all these like tunnels. It's like true, yeah, and
that's like the joke is that like what wait what
this crazy guy is actually right but.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
So morbid that we're like, oh man, a lot of
pizzas are getting delivered, innocent people are about to die.
Like he just like like they have the pizza index
for bombs and like military ship and then the stripper
index for like an economic downturn. When at the strip clubs,
the dancers say, like the ones in New York, they're like, man,

(01:05:40):
when these finances do stop coming in and stop like
they do, they're tightening up. They're tightening Yeah, like just
sort of like there's so many anecdotal sort of measurements
for these kinds of things.

Speaker 10 (01:05:52):
I bet if you talk to I've betically got some
drug dealers on the horn, like some high level drug dealers. Yeah,
would probably because I feel like drug sales going up
would also be an indicator.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Right, But is that but that's just an elastic demand, right,
Like that shit just stays on.

Speaker 5 (01:06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
I think it's just like it's popping, really popping.

Speaker 10 (01:06:12):
Yeah, Yeah, I feel like really popping would be like
or maybe the kinds of drugs, like like maybe if
you're moving a lot of xanax and stuff, it's like, oh,
people are worried you have moving like a lot of
like coke, and it's like it's like, oh, well it's
twenty eleven, Obama.

Speaker 6 (01:06:31):
I got a feeling.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
All right, that's gonna do it for this week's Weekly Zeitgeist.
Please like and review the show if you like the
show means the world to Miles.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
He he needs your validation, folks.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to him Monday. By stop
