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. I'm thrilled to be joined in our
second seat by a hilarious and brilliant producer and TV writer.
You know him from the US this racist podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's Andrew T.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Oh my god, I spent I spent.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
My AKA thinking of time rebooting my cable modem router
other router, cable modem again, so I don't cut jack shit.
I guess I'm Andrew AK Andrew T a K the
fucking tech support tech support.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Hi everyone, Hey shit? What it support?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah? I T of the house, I T T I
T T I.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
You're the person who gets the clown and the sewer?
Is that it?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Is he the clown? Is it the cloud?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Or is this a doctor whose situation it's just an
it doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
The clown is the toll booth?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah? Wait? Is it? I mean you'd have to assume
I haven't read the book. No, god, gross would it be?
Oh my god? Gross reading the book then Andrew guest
reads books. No, that was just the character. Must have

(01:33):
been a joke. It was a character I was doing
where I was a person who read. But certainly it
has to refer to the monster and the sewer.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
It can't be like, yeah, I'm just a doctor of
the monster.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
In Yeah, I'm just wondering if they call it it
called old penny wise it at any point, no one.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I don't want if I was.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
The clown that got misgendered, I'd kill a bunch of
kids too.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Okay, yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Feel like I'm that's technically what I am. A clown
that gets missgendered.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's right, that in our third seat, a clown that
gets misgendered. A hilarious stand up comedian, wright, actor, improviser.
You can catch her at the monthly Facial Recognition comedy show,
which he also produces. You can check the footnotes for
upcoming dates. It's I thought.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
You were going to say Bill Scar's guard, but okay,
it's me.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Hello, how are you guys doing?

Speaker 6 (02:37):
I'm good.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
I guess this foster cat if anybody wants to adopt it,
it will rip my heart out.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
But also it's probably what you should be doing.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Is it is fostering cats, not foster filing every pet
that I have?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, what are the what are the actual odds that
this is just your cat? Now?

Speaker 7 (02:53):
I don't want to talk about, well, that's like how
a lot of them happened, because like there's just no
one takes king and pets and like there's so there
is one of the Okay, now she's rubbing her face
on the laptop, so the camera is shaking. There's like
a bunch of pets that are now in it's weird

(03:13):
to say they're pets in the foster system, but they're
in rescues and shelters because people are getting deported. They're
literally getting deported and their pets are getting So it's
like that's fine, Yeah, I guess because their pets have asylum,
but they don't as human beings, Like what.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
The fuck you know?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Jesus Christ?

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yeah, so adopt pets please. Otherwise everyone who fosters is
just gonna have all the pets forever.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Very sweet girl. The is it a boy?

Speaker 4 (03:46):
She's it's a girl.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
She's as like six or seven months and she's just
like the cuddliest baby.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
So sweet, loves a camera. Camera, stop.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Film, be a stage mom with this cat. She's still young,
she's still got It's.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
For Hollywood, she really does. She's so cute.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
She got blue eyes.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
She does love well, that's the worst part. But other
than that, very cute.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
She was in the Sydney Sweeney commercial.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
She's always like, I have the best genes, and I'm like,
goddamn cat.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I know.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Oh my god, I got a white dog. At one point,
my friends would not let me hear the end of it.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
They were like wow. They were like, wow, wow, you
changed interracial adoption, Golden retriever. What is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 7 (04:48):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (04:49):
The thing that I have been searching the last week
or so and this is just gonna be TMI and
I'm gonna do it anyway, is how soon after hitting
perimenopause you can get HRT Because I've been feeling very
toasty lately and I'm like, well, I was going to
try to power through, and then my sister was like, no,
if you start my younger sister, who probably shouldn't know

(05:11):
these things, I don't think because like, no, if you
start earlier, it helps more. So I'm honestly, just like
searching for HRT, and then I'm slowly watching places change
the name of it from like hormone replacement therapy, which people,
well bigots just automatically associate with trans so menopause therapy
or menopause hormone therapy, which I think is really interesting.

(05:34):
And so I'm going to die on the hill of
calling it HRT because.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Hormone therapy to.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Feel uncomfortable and I want them to be like, wait,
what what gender were you assigned at birth? I can't tell.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
So hormone replacement therapy is now menopause hormone therapy according
to the Mayo Clinic, because everybody is.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Scared and men is capitalized for some reason. Meause wanted to.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah. So just I've been searching up a lot of
gender affirming care, I guess is what we're going to say,
And uh, yeah, it's interesting trying to figure out, like
does my insurance cover this? Do we have to pay
out of pocket? We live, obviously you will know this
in a hell country, one of the shiphole countries we've

(06:27):
heard so much about.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
We live in a country, I agree, hell of a country.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Hell here, I am trying to figure out hmm, is
there any going to like mitigate some of these very
miserable symptoms, And then you know, thinking about, oh, we
we don't know very much about how to deal with
menopause lash perimenopause because we don't invest in even before
all of the brains got canceled, we don't invest in
researching anything about women's self because it's not urgent.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
It's real mystery. Actually that's the first complicated.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's very complicated. It's scary.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
God intended women to suffer. And so here we are, Yeah,
believing that science isn't real. And I'm trying to get
answers from Google that aren't AI generated because helping it
turns out not helpful when the entire medical establishment doesn't

(07:27):
really know what the fuck they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I'm just going to trust Google's AI to kind of
summarize my way of that together. Yeah, they're pretty good.
So I'm sorry you're going through that. Well, the symptoms
I've heard of, the hot flashes or the hot flashes,
how hot, how flashy talking, and you asked the tough
questions you're talking.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I had this very strange moment where I've been trying
to be responsible and be in bed reading a book
at ten pm every night, right, and obviously it's summertime, right,
so the windows are open. I don't have the comforter on.
I'm just got like my little one sheet and I'm
like reading my book and there's like you can feel,

(08:14):
you know how you can feel the air like under
the sheet that's like around your body. I feel it
like I can feel the temperature rising under the sheet.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
As I going up, like a meter you're creating at
the sheet.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
And I was like, oh, oh, this sucks, Like what
is happening here? So I think I need to start
taking an ice pack to bed with me, just to
be safe, just an emergency. You know those like break
in case of emergency ice packs that need to take Yeah, yeah,
that I take on like pikes and stuff from my kids.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
A chemical one.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
I need one of those, but like for my bed.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, just to be safe, just back of the neck, yep, yep.
I like it.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
I have to sleep with a blanket as well, Like
even if it's like so hot, I have to like
need some sort of in my mind, it's like protecting
me from an intruder. You know, this thing could come
into your they can't get through the blanket though, so yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, something about like sleeping without a blanket. My body
is like, we're not actually sleeping. Yeah, I don't know
what you think this is, but this is not bedtime.
If you're just sleeping with nothing on top of you.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
I can't even nap without something on top of me.
Like that's how ingrained it is. And it's like, oh, well,
what are we doing here? We're just hanging out on
a bed. This is this is nothing.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
So yeah, I really I'm thinking great, I'm thinking now.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I'm like reverse claustrophobia. I like to have something close
and like I like, I find it nice and cozy.
I think I descend from pack or like den you
know animals. Yeah, I got that, got that den animal
inside of me. Do that dog?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
That Den dog dog? I sleep with a bunk bed
just laying on top with me off, take the legs
right off.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I did. I used to like feel very comfortable under beds,
Like as a kid, I would just like kind of
hide under a bed. Then they would come and take me,
and my dad would tell them that he has a
very particular set of skills. What is something you think
is underrated?

Speaker 6 (10:21):
So okay, I learned this story relatively recently, and I
can't believe. I don't know. It feels like it needs
to be taught in schools. It's the City Corps Center
Engineering Crisis. Guys, guys hear about this. You guys know
about this.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I can't wait to hear more. My favorite journalist, Edward R. Murrow,
was always a jay Leno. So with that lead in,
I can't I can't wait to hear what's next.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
It's it's a skyscraper that's built on stilts. It was
built in the seventies and the reason it's on stilts
is that there was like a church underneath it that
refused to move. But the City Corp was able to
get the property rights like above the church, but not
the church itself. So their architect and engineer came up

(11:10):
with this, like we'll put it on stilts. The skyscraper.
It's not a building, so it's just like up on stilts. Uh.
And it's kind of like they're they're not on the
edges of the building, but sort of on the inside.
It's kind of like if you had a stool and
then the the stilts of the stool were really crowded,
sort of near the middle. Yeah, it doesn't seem very stable.

(11:34):
So yeah, the City Corps Center right in New York City,
right in.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Them Mahn, that sounds terrible.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Yeah, so yeah, it's right in me here.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
And yeah, I didn't notice the big building on top
of it all these years.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
So it is this grapengineering in the structural engineer Bill
le Measure, which is a good name.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
And I'm really the measure Bill.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
Measure, and it's gonna get really ironic. So uh. He
was in charge of designing the building.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
And then after the building was already built, it's out there,
people are in it. Everyone's like, wow, building on stilts. Cool. Uh.
He discovered a fatal flaw in it that he's by
his calculations, it had like an almost one hundred percent
chance in the next century of collapsing and killing a
bunch of people. So already hilarious. So it was made
with bolted struts instead of welted struts. Amateur move. I mean,

(12:37):
I know what you guys are thinking, like, why did
they go with it bolted?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
We yeah, welded.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Right, And so basically Bill a Measure did not measure.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
By the way it did Bill, but he did not
measure he's got work house or what.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
Yeah, a hurricane was coming and I was going to
kill a bunch of people. So he discovered that he
did not fry. Well, there's something called quartering winds, which
is just like sideways winds. So he like calculated the
effects on each face, but not the quartering winds. Amateur move.

(13:29):
And so because the struts were bolted rather than welted,
something to do with like sheer versus other forces, you know, physics,
and so like if this hurricane hit Manhattan, this was
in nineteen seventy eight, the building would go down.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
And he was in the seventies.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
He built it, Yeah, like he built it in the seventies.
So in nineteen seventy eight he actually whistled blue on
himself because he was like he had at some points,
like I consider just driving off a bridge at this point,
because this was like a huge mistake and it all
it really only came surface because he kept getting questions
from structural engineering grad students were like, how does this

(14:12):
building work? You don't understand it. He's like, let me
check them out, let me measure again. Yeah, And so
he was mere right, and it was actually a really
incredible building because it was like the first one that
had uh something called a tuned mass dampener, which is
sort of like a weight on springs that when the

(14:35):
building sways and wind, it like counters the sway so
the building doesn't sway as much. So it was it
was it was very cool and like buildings still use that,
like this was the first building that used it, so
it was Actually it was a really It's not like
this structural engineer was an idiot. He was really really good.
He just didn't realize his firm used bolted struts and

(14:55):
he hadn't done this calculation, so he like told city
corpse panicked and told the city. The city panicked. But
then they decided to like in secret, they did not
tell the public because they didn't want them to panic.
In secret, they had construction crews come in the dead
of night into the building and replace the struts like

(15:16):
they added I think they just had to add more
bolts or add more streuss to it to make it safe,
and so they would go like come in at night
in secret. It was a secret for almost twenty years
that this building almost came down. And then they're like, yeah,
that happened, don't worry about it. It was fine, it turned
out great. They did fix it, Yes, they fixed it,

(15:39):
and they had a but the city had this evacuation
planned for like ten city blocks for people if the
hurricane was going to hit, because they were not going
to be able to finish the renovations in time for
the hurricane. So it's just like their plan B was
like everyone out of Manhattan, just leave, please?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah? Real, what is up that you think is over rated?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
You know what I think is overrated?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
And this is more common in men than it is
with women. Using hypotheticals to get to know someone.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh, I hate it.

Speaker 8 (16:12):
I don't like doing it men.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Love's short.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Fuck all right, sorry, I'm just deleting the second act
I met your Would you rather?

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (16:32):
I'm so sick of people using hypotheticals as interview questions
as a way to get to know someone. These are
not real. People will lie to you, guys, dream, dinner, date, go,
funnest way to lie to someone and sound fucking like
cool or made up, and it's like, oh my god, please,
I'm begging it. This is also why society is fucked off,
because we do ship like that, and we don't get

(16:53):
to know each other.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
And then people are like, you're republic in this whole time,
and it's.

Speaker 8 (16:57):
Like, yeah, bitch, because all you fucking asked what questions
about lions, tires and bears?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
God damn any would you rather bear in a swimming pool?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
And then Dan's like, wait, she's Republican. You know what
I mean? Yeah, Like, you know they sussed her out.

Speaker 8 (17:14):
She's never seen with them out and about, but you know,
you see the other actors with each other like they
sussed her out because they asked the right questions.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
You know, they didn't just ask her like okay, would
you rather Okay, who would you want to dream dinner guest?
Although that one might tell you something if she's like, uh,
Trump's weird about like JD Pants is kind of a vibe.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
I really like Jel then my blue eyes.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
Like, I guess hypotheticals would be good if you hate
the person you have nothing to say to them. I
feel like that's a great time to use hypotheticals. You know,
the Christmas with the family and you're uncomfortable about having
real conversations.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I think that's totally appropriate.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
But you're just like trying not to Yeah, let anyone
get to know you because there's a howling void underneath.
But it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
It does feel like there's like a meadow way in
which this works, which is like two people that love
hypothetical questions.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Marcela, you can just be like, fuck both of you,
but they will connect with each other. Yes, And.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
That's what happens.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Separates the garbage from the ypothetical. How would you kill Marcella.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Oh my god, you know what I would do somebody?

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, poisoning your candle?

Speaker 8 (18:35):
Yeah, just a little bit of poisoned your candle.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
I feel like it's very popular with people who are
also like, oh my god, chat GPT is my best friend. Yeah,
you know, like people like that exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, arsenic in the air candle sounds like chet Gypt
tried to write an Agatha Christie dog.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
But accidentally gave away in the title. Yeah, that's I
don't quite figured all that out yet. How could it great?
Underrated and overrated love that they were two different things.
You've fucking nailed it a plus work, Marcella. We're going
to take a quick break and then we're gonna come
back and we're going to talk about some news. We'll
be right back.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
And we're back.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
And one thing I love about that story is that
he built an impossible looking building and then it was
like and was not careful about it. It was just like, yeah,
it's creepy, but like that saved his ass there, just
like that looks wild man, Like, how is that possible?
And he was like possible, Oh shit, it isn't I know.

(19:51):
I talk about this every once in a while, that
there was this huge landslide in Peru that like destroyed
an entire town, like a town of like there were
thirty thousand people who died, and like I think it
was eight years before this landslide happened. It was caused
by an earthquake. A group of climbers like was climbing

(20:15):
the mountain that it happened on and were like oh no,
and came down told like everybody, told all the people
who were like you know, officials, and they were kicked
out of the country because they didn't want to cause
a panic. They're being made Yes, you just being too negative,

(20:37):
and then yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah, but I'm actually at capacity right now. I can't
hear about landslides.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Thank you. That's such a hard four months you cannot please,
you're trying.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
To get me to do emotional labor about landslides.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
On me right now?

Speaker 6 (20:55):
That is trauma dumping, all right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
It's but it's because I think about that story every time.
People are like, why is nothing happening with climate change?
And some people are like, well, it's kind of this
like diffuse problem. It's like too much of a bummer,
And it's like, well, even when it's an acute problem
with like a very specific like see that mountain that's
gonna come down on you and it's gonna kill everybody

(21:20):
like very soon the next time there's an earthquake something
like that specific, and they were like literally not only
did people just like kind of make the jack off
hand motion and like go on with their day, they
kicked them out of the country for like foresaying.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
It being too much of a bummer.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, you are hereby deported arm being a fucking bummer.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Man. It's so scary how that just keeps happening. Where
we just watch that new net Geo Ryan kogl Or
documentary on Katrina, which is so sad and a really
good documentary, but it's just one of the things where like, guys,
the levees are dog shit, like we have no we
knew about that. Yeah, this is so bad. It's like,

(22:05):
yeah everyone knew. No, no, no, I'm sorry. Go ahead, Yeah,
you're gonna say something more intelligent.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
No, no, no. People who like paid attention to the news,
like they were saying that every time on an earthquake
or every time a hurricane would like come through there,
they'd be like, in the levees are gonna break the
next time, like a with a direct hit. And then
as Katrina was approaching, they're like, you know, the levees
might break with a direct hit. And then the levees
broke with a direct hit and they didn't fucking evacuate.
They like didn't have anybody there to help in case

(22:33):
of that very disaster that had been predicted one hundred times.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
And even after they broke, people were like, I mean,
why is there so much water in this city? Is crazy?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Deal with those.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Water it's wet in obvious white supremacy. Yeah, it was
white supremacy and turn about of color.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Right yeah yeah, anyways, all right, great underrated? What's something
you think is overrated?

Speaker 6 (22:57):
So I read this book that was on the New
York Times bestseller list, a bunch of time called.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Christ get It.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
I don't know these parts of the show when people
talk about books.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
So it was called Remarkably Bright Creatures. And I was
under the impression, based on the cover art as well
as the synopsis of the book, that this was going
to be about a mystery solving octopus. And it was
barely about that. Maybe five percent of the book was
often related. It was a novel, and I thought it

(23:32):
was going to be heavy book. It's normal. I don't know,
it's normal.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
It's just a book.

Speaker 6 (23:38):
It's a book, but it's but it's fiction.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Do you know what fiction?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Sorry, Katie, we got to stop down here and tell Blake.
That's what happens when things are rubbing together, right and
they don't actually, you know, we.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Don't have time. We don't have to keep going keeping.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
So like it was, it was like so it did
have some octopus in it. Most of it, though, was
like feel good family crap, and I could not give
less of a shit Like I the only parts of
the book I wanted to read was about this mystery
solving octopus, and the author made the baffling decision that

(24:16):
that was not the interesting part. The interesting part was
following some random guy trying to track down his dad
that he hadn't seen since he was born and finding
his grandma or whatever it was. And it was the
big I'm so mad.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
People have a real like human bias, you know, where
they're just like the most interesting part would be this
person and what they think about their parents.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
It's like, uh, yeah, we know.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
By the way, word for word, word for word, you're
the first half of that review. It was my review
of Finding Dory. Also, it was like I could have
been about a crime solving octopus and instead of family
friendly bullshit.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
You got that into the New York Times, by the way,
by taking out a full page ed. Of course. Well
it doesn't matter how you get it in there. It's
it's the destination, not the journey.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, that's why I'm a New York Times bestseller, by
the way, when you call yourself that on the full page.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yet, when you said brightest animals, I thought you were
going to talk about the angler fish and other animals
with lights coming off of her would have been better.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
So there.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
These are creatures that give off light, and just a
list of them in a book. What I would have enjoyed.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
More and were the people smart? Was the person and
their dad smart?

Speaker 6 (25:41):
And they weren't. They weren't very smart. They the author said,
like this person is smart, and then everything else was
to the contrary. So and there was just so much
focus on detail that I didn't care about. It was like,
kind of it's like cock tea this octopus and I'm

(26:01):
not giving us any of this fucking octopus.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, yeah, that's fucked up. So remarkably bright creatures go
fuck yourself. I put that in Italian.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
If the very sweet author ever fights there is broken,
it seems like a very nice lady.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
You're more than welcome on our show. I'm sure there
was a recent story about an octopus. Did you see
that story where a octopus that couldn't solve any crime
but is a Pacific giant octopus or something something? The
other in the San Antonio aquarium was accused of like
trying to pull a child into the tank. Somehow nice

(26:47):
that r.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
One octopus solves the crime, the other octopus does the crime.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah. According to uh Brittany Tarrian, this is the mother's name,
which is just two white lady names mashed together. But
hell Taran on TikTok said, the octopus starts coming out
of the tank. And the reason we don't have pictures
or videos of this is because my friend was also
freaking out. And then she said that her child got

(27:13):
bruises on the arm and the octopus was not letting go.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I mean, so I have insight into this where this
is a new thing that the San Antonio aquariums doing,
where it helps. So one of the kids, there were
two kids. The kid who was grabbed was wearing a
Kansas City Chiefs hat. The other kid was wearing an
Eagles hat. Because it's how they predict Super Bowls now
where the octopus pulls a child wearing.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
The hat the eye which child is drowned by the octopus,
so it looks like it's the Chiefs in twenty six
tragedy on two counts.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I thought you were going to say that that child
was you, and they were just like, we've got to
make it a child, otherwise it's not going to be believable.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
They they actually thought I was a child.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
He was human sized and had a full beard, but
he was licking a lollipopping out of propeller hat and.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Progress like there was two thousand applicants, and I made
it through all of it. How did you realize it
wasn't a child?

Speaker 1 (28:15):
All right, let's get into some news. Let's talk tourism. Sure,
they're saying tourism bad in America right now, I mean, okay,
So tourism on fire is one way that I'm sure
the news is being given to Trump because have you
noticed that he's really like into things being hot lately?
He's likes hotter than ever the hottest, true.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
Literally hottest, because he put it, yeah, yeah, so hot.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Well he's worth everything. He probably like puts his own
name in quotes. He doesn't know how quotes work. But anyways, Yeah,
but the Grand King in literally hot right now. The
Dragon Bravo fire has been going on since July fourth,
destroyed dozens of structures, including the Grand King and Lodge,
which is one of the main tourism necstasies nex sise

(29:03):
whoa excise You put it on the story, but I
don't know, I don't know, Locus locus of tourism. There
we go. And this also might be tied to the
federal government just like not being staffed anymore, because the
way that they handled this was so there was a

(29:24):
lightning strike on the fourth of July. God was like,
hell yeah, America, brother, and there's a lightning strike. And
the federal government was like, it almost feels like they
just found out about controlled burns or something like that day,
because they were like, let's do a controlled burn, which

(29:46):
you're supposed to do during the winter when things aren't
like hyper flammable. You're supposed to like start the fire
intentionally and like have a path and you don't just
claire a fire that is not in your control a
controlled but that's what they did here and it got
out of control and hence now you can't go to
the Grand Canyon anymore. On Trump's America, we're also hearing

(30:10):
bad news that Vegas tourism is down in June by
eleven percent, and that was before you know, the Grand
Canyon fire, which is fucking up air quality in that
whole region and nobody can figure it out. Yeah, it's
it's weird.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
Maybe all the lost Wages jokes finally hit people, right.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
It's this is such a welcoming country to foreign tourists
as well, coming in, like people weren't afraid. It's it's
so Also, the World Cup is coming up as well
with this fucking awful but in this as why would
anyone want to come here during the war.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
It's the worst timing, Like instead of having a like
tourism camp. You know other countries, I've seen them, they're like,
visit Italy. It's I mean, it's the place everybody visits.
It's fucking sick. Look at look at all this art.
I think that I'm directly quoting the campaign now, I hope.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
There so sick.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Look at the art then is this fucking the streets
are water dog? Yeah, the streets are woter Again. I
think this might be a Philly specific ad campaign. Woldos
are boat pilot.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
We need a we need a Philly pope after the
Chicago Pope.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
I know, God, could you imagine.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
He went to Villanova. He went to Villanova did so?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
He is kind? He is half oh Man by the way,
like you know, the only logos that you see when
you're at the part of the Jersey Shore where I
am are like Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia Eagles, no more of
the Sixers because they're a garbage organization. And then and
then Villanova. But Villanova is big right now, I think

(31:55):
I think the Catholics are very proud to have Villanova
Pope down down the shore. Anyways, some of the reasons
that tourism might be down. Instead of having a you know, well,
come to America, visit our giant land that you can
roam freely inside of our outward messaging has been like,

(32:15):
we will fucking we will lock you up. We're gonna
put your family. Look, we will. We will send you
to a country you're not even from, and you'll end
up dead. Maybe your parents.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
Will not know where you are, why that you've ever existed.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Right, Well, erase you like one of those guys in
Stalin pictures, you just like won't be on the historical record.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
So that's one thing, and that's a tough obstacle to overcome. Yeah,
it is.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
It is too early. We're still testing the results on
that campaign. Also, he's completely fucked the economy, so people
inside America have less spending power. You know that that
does seem like one of those unfakeable things. It's like,
if people have money to go to Vegas, like they
can't be doing too bad because they will go. If
they have money to go, they will go, and if

(33:07):
they if they're not going to Vegas. That means the
economy is actually not doing great. So I don't know
what this means, because I've heard Trump is killing it
on the economic front. But I am just curious, Katie,
from your perspective, how are we doing, how's it looking
from outside. I do remember talking to a German tourist

(33:31):
in the US and they were like selling me on
the US as a tourist destination. They're like, oh, you
should like travel more in the US because like we
come over there, you can like go wherever you want.
You don't need a passport to go from state to state.
There's so much nature there, and your cuisine is amazing. No,
they didn't say the cuisine part. But is there a

(33:53):
palpable sense that going to the United States is less
attractive and more unwelcoming?

Speaker 6 (34:00):
Been before, it's pretty palpable. Yeah, we've actually been both
both me and my husband have been ask by various
people if it's safe to go to the US and
like asking us for advice, and like they're kind of
like saying, like this is all overblown, right, like I
can go, it's fine, and we're like, uh, may maybe,

(34:23):
but yeah, I think it kind of depends also on
which country people come from, Like uh, a lot, Like
people we've talked to who are from South American countries
are not necessarily they're like canceling plans. They're not going. Yeah,
Italians I think are confused and are a little bit

(34:44):
wary because of the news about like border problems. I
don't think they usually have too many issues, but I
don't know my I mean like I can't I can't
confidently reassure them, which is weird because they're like, is
it safe to go to the US, like in terms
of like the border. I'm like, I don't know. I mean,
like hopefully if you have, you've made no mistake on

(35:06):
your flight arrangements or any of your paperwork, and like
you didn't pack too much luggage, so they're gonna like
accuse you of staying longer. Maybe it'll be fine, But
I can't. It's very strange to be asked that and
not be able to be like, what are you talking about?
It's fine to go.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
I mean I think they're confused. Think about Ice having
to decide whether or not to arrest them when they
have dark hair and they don't speak English without an accent.
I mean very that's hard on Ice too. Will.

Speaker 6 (35:38):
It's very funny when Italians are sort of prejudiced against
each other because it's guys in the eyes of America, right.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Italians.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, we were just in in Ireland last week, and
obviously this is anecdotal, but you know, if you have
a choice as an international, you know, like coming in
internationally to the United States, you have a choice between
almost any country. And also, why would you go to
a country and spend your money there that is currently
waging a trade war against the entire world, like like

(36:08):
in making things more expensive for you at home, and
I mean forget us also like you know, for them
in other countries. And we also while we were there,
I saw so I'm getting all this Irish pop up
ship now on my Instagram. And the saddest tourism thing
I've ever seen was like this guy who was an
airlinkis thing thing. There's there's this gargeous unknown city and

(36:33):
United States that you have to go visit. Direct flights
from Dublin to Indianapolis, and it was like the saddest
thing in the There's nothing to do in Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
They have like I think a steakhouse that's supposed to
be good.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
They have steak in Indianapolis, unlike Ireland, where there's no
beef products whatsoever. But there's all the comments where like
people was saying, I'm from Indianapolis, for the love of God,
do not come here. You deserve so much better than
coming to Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
So you imagine going from Ireland to Indianapolis, Like Ireland
is beautiful. There's just a pub on every corner, people
just like playing just like you know what like movies
from the fifties about like there's a duop group on
every corner, like that kind of community that we made

(37:28):
up that happened in the fifties, Like that's actually what
Ireland's like. There's just a group of people playing fiddles
in every pub who just like they just like randomly
started playing together. They're like, oh, you playing the fiddle,
and like come in with a fucking you know, washboard
that they're playing or some spoons.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I don't know, or you could go to a massive
convention center, right, except so it depends on what you like.
Everybody has different.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Indianapolis is like a city that was built to host
the NCAA Final four in the combine and the combine.
It's like, yeah, stuff like that. It's good for events,
it's good for yeah, like professional like a bunch of
sales people have come in for the weekend to all,
you know, hear the key keynote from the CFO of Salesforce.

(38:17):
That's what Indianapolis, I feel like, is good for.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
I feel like it's hard to travel as an American
now and not have people like demand to know why
we're teriffing the ship out of whatever country you're going to.
And it's like, I don't know. I don't know art
of the deal, man, I don't.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Know art of the deal.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Brother, It's gonna be big. It's gonna be real big.
We're getting a good deal.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
It's gonna be huge. Can just wait, you'll see, all right.
So people people have caught on that.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
It's yeah, they're they're they're were like and this is
not just big like people on vacation. These are like
researchers who will like like that work at the university
or like is it safe to like go to the
US for conferences and stuff. So like even their like
professional lives, they're worried. Which again we can't just be like, yeah,
no problems. It's like, yeah, yeah, no, it's good. Just

(39:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Check it out Indianapolis. So you've heard of Minneapolis. That's
a good city. So this is work for another state
that's worse than the other one. Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back and we're bag And as as

(39:37):
we were talking about before we started recording, possibly in
the cold open, there's that song home Here Do I Go.

Speaker 8 (39:47):
Wrong with You?

Speaker 1 (39:49):
That is making the rounds everywhere, causing a reappraisal of
the hey ho stop clap stomp genre of like kind
of lo fi indie from the twenty tens. I guess
it was like that hey Hose song about lumineers.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
And how's that go?

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (40:10):
They go hey and then they go okay. I understand.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Why is it so catchy? It's abusive, it catches.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
It's but this is the one that I have heard
in the most Volkswagen commercials. I believe the home heard
uga and the lyrics. So the thing that I think
people are responding to is the performance. First of all,
It's like, I think we all heard it in the

(40:40):
car commercials and assumed it was like some American idol
runner ups, like number five pop song you know, I did.
I did not know that this is what the people
look like. I'm going to now share my screen so
we can watch this. And there's nothing wrong with the
way they look.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
It's just not exactly. Yeah, don't neuter all my comments
before I make them.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Their look is great. I think what they're doing is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
So I'm playing the video without sound for you guys,
so you can see the vibe of people.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Is this a tiny desk concert?

Speaker 1 (41:20):
I can't tell.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
So it's a team of tiny desk concert, is what's
going on?

Speaker 2 (41:24):
They had to hear that desk away right.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
We're not gonna play the audio because a I will
crawl it and make us take this episode down. But
that that you gotta look at what they're what they're
looking like. She does herself in the head so far
that her little beanie falls off, and the lyrics are Alabama, Arkansas.
I do love my mom pa, not that way that
I do love you. Well, holy holy me, oh my,

(41:53):
you're the apple, love my girl. I've never want loved
one like you. Man, oh man, you're my best friend.
I'll scream it to then.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Anyways, these word Jack's vows heavy pumpkin pie, chocolate candy,
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Ain't nothing please me more than you, darling, So I do.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Jesus Christ. Jesus Sorry, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
I stepped into chocolate candy while I was writing my
bowls Candy.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Today I write this ship. What is happening?

Speaker 8 (42:32):
It does?

Speaker 1 (42:32):
It does feel a little bit like that.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
It does feel a little bit like that.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
I did not know they looked like this. The guy
looks like he has spent I don't know if he
has actual dreadlocks in this video, but he is flirting
with him and he has he is he is very
seriously considering it.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
It's the look is so bad. I'm going to I
hate what I'm about to say, but it's true. I
do have this album on the final oh Man, and
I didn't know they looked like this. So this is
like music that It's like, Okay, I'm shuffling around my house,
you know, uh, paying outstanding bills and taking eviction notices

(43:15):
off my home and this is good to play in
the background during that.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
But the look of a children's song is what like,
that's what That's how I I felt like, I was like,
this is a good this is good children's movie soundtrack
music like and so to have a guy who seems
like a cult leader singing it into the eyes of
somebody who appears to be on all sorts of drugs.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
She does. She looks like a child who is on drugs.
That's that's the energy.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
I think that's what's throwing me. That's what throws means.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
That's what your hag off is. David Koresh and the
Magnetic Zero.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Anyways, this song, as much as every everybody's like it's
the worst written the song of all time, and you know,
it's just it. I think again, it's doing what it
set out to do, which is the earnest as hell,
and the one feels try hardy to me, Oh so
try hardy, but I think they're earnestly trying it is

(44:17):
the try hardest ship. Yeah, I think they are. They
they're trying so hard and they do not give a fuck. Yes,
try hard is one of the like if you had
to describe this in three wheres, like I do feel
like try hard, try hard, Yeah, try hard.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
It's it's like the audio equivalent of like p DA,
you know, where like you're in public and you see
like a couple like.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
It's humiliated. The whole thing is humiliating.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
It's so embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Yeah, what's that clip of is it Tyre Banks saying?

Speaker 6 (44:54):
So you a miliat?

Speaker 1 (44:56):
That's kind of how I feel watching this. I love her, Yeah,
truly giving us some of our great our great names.
All right, speak of humiliating. I do want to move
on to a real world like kind of glass Onion situation,
real world White Lotus meets glass Onion meets Oscar after

(45:17):
Oscar's after party, and they like, I'm so intrigued. No unfortunately,
I mean, I'm not gonna say unfortunately, but yeah, it's
for some reason they let a Vanity Fair reporter tag
along and like take acid with them on this ritz
Carlton yacht cruise. So it's like a it's like, what

(45:38):
what would a what would a cruise look like for
Dakota Johnson, Kendall Jenner, Tom Brady, Orlando bloom Farrell, Williams,
Martha Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Hm, Ricky Martin, Jaden Smith,
Toby Maguire for some reason, Alicia Silverstone for some reason,

(45:59):
Janelle Monette, Sophia Virgara and of course Leonardo DiCaprio is there.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
You know, but this is a yacht. It's not a
cruise because it's.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
But that many people. It's like a giant Yeah, it's
like a mini cruise ship, giant yacht. And they're just
like everybody is treated like that, you know, like they
I'm sure people were being carried around, you know what
I mean, like just like, yeah, nobody's they're just like piggyback,

(46:36):
I said, piggyback, like as they just went from dakery
to dakery. They do still drink dakeries, which I was
a little disappointed, and throughout I was like, is that
that doesn't seem like it seems like they should have
some version of dakeries that's like beyond what we have
access to.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
We love Hemingway everyone, I have a dakra for you
next time we hang out level dackries.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
It's not the stuff I'm picturing.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
I'm picturing the virgin do I used to order a
TGF Friday. It is nothing like that. Picturing Tom Brady
drinking a TGF Friday's dacry with a big doll up
of a whipped cream on.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Top as his skin continues to constrict around.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yeah, that's it does keep getting tighter. It does has
tightened a little bit.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I need a skin tightening at noon, so I gotta
go pretty soon.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
The article does note that the ship set sail as
the big beautiful bill was being passed, So like, as
normal people are being robbed of their healthcare and like
this massive bill to make wealthy people more rich is passing.
These people are all getting on a massive yacht and

(47:52):
like the the one celebrity who was there that I
have to give a shout out to is Miguel the
musician is there, but he does not put about it,
and he's just there to perform. And then he gets
the fuck out, and I'm like, hell, yeah, me go
like that probably, But we just get these little little views,

(48:12):
these little pinhole views into like what these people are like.
So the writer is told that twenty eight year old
Brooks Nader is poised to be the breakout star of
what just breakout star of this like influencer and parentheses,
A mover and shaker, baby, says Sarah Jane. We'll get

(48:33):
to Sarah Jane in a moment. The Striking Blonde is
a former Sports Illustrated swimwear model, and rumor has it
is dating Brady, whose head I can see across the
deck in his new spectacles, a six foot four library
and I like the Tom Brady's like wearing glasses to.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Be like, then get hotter. He's a six foot four
librarian and it's like it's a new look for him
and it sounds right.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
I still want to fuck him. Lauren Sanchez that then
they say Lauren Sanchez Bezos first noticed Brooks on Instagram
and decided to befriend her. Sarah Jane tells me, so,
Lauren Sanchez Bezos, like Jeff Bezos's wife is just like
going around discovering people and being like you get to

(49:18):
come to.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Our parties now, and like you're hot enough to come
to our party, right, jesus.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Oh, this is so fascinating. I was wondering how all
those people wound up at their wedding, at the Bezos
people their wedding's like what you're just you're just sending
out like invitations to everybody who is at what the oscars? Like,
I don't get what the metric is here, because you
guys aren't real friends, because you're barely even real people.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
They're not. They just they only surround themselves. There's a
good quote later from Martha Stewart that talks about this.
Martha Stewart is on another fucking planet. It's wild. But
like Patrick Schwarzenegger, Kate Hudson, and Janelle Monet have all
been in things that are like about shit like this.

Speaker 8 (50:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Yeah, they've been in like White Lotus and then Glass Onion,
which was about like a Elon Musk type inviting a
bunch of people on like a weird thing like this,
and like the writers like, so is this like weird
for you? Patrick Swarzener's like, you know, but what am

(50:28):
I gonna do? Say no to this horrifyingly humiliating thing.
Janelle Monet is like just straight up as like is
this Glass Onion or what? Even Kate Hudson is here.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Good for her?

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Yeah, it just owns it. I will allow it with
Janelle Monet because yeah, that's Janelle money, can do absolutely
nothing wrong. I do want to talk about Sarah Jane though,
because she has some great quotes defending Sanchez Bezos. Boy, yeah,
she's got some things to say. She's like, I guess
Jeff Bezos is the top of the richest people, but

(51:06):
like there are a lot of big people where it's like, yeah,
it should be like that. He made it fucking big,
and like they've been in love for like years or something.
They're so secure and real. If the press was going
to attack her friend as emblematic of the age of oligarchs, well,
Sanchez doesn't give a fuck. It's fuel. I find that
so inspiring. So just it's not it's just you know,

(51:32):
she's aspiring to be a Kardashian and like this, like
fuck the poor thing. She's like so hungry for wealth
and fame and status, and like that hunger is like
powering her, you know. Like that, so she's like both
embarrassingly like bougie and into this shit and also embracing

(51:54):
that in a way that she should be embarrassed about,
but like a thing that should be embarrassing, and instead
she's like, that's my personality. Actually, this isn't one mistake.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
This is me.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
This opening is just my shit.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
This is my shit.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Yeah, this is being put on by a billionaire Israeli
billionaire who is a billionaire because he said, well, he
made his money by selling a poker site.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Yeah, so don't you feel silly, toy if you're making
that statement.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
Yeah, poker not predatory at all.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
No, it's actually fine. He made his money off of
people's gambling addictions.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
The good old fashion.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Yeah, the old fashioned, good old fashion way.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
It's not some tech idiot a vulture.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Yeah. He talks to one of the people who like
sells these sorts of yacht experiences and he says, say,
you want to go to Greece tomorrow, you go to Greece.
And then they explain it with with crypto and AI
cash piling up in recent years, the boats have to
get bigger. That's a very positive effect, but of course
it's still the ultimate luxury. So like it's they treat

(53:07):
this as like it's solving a problem that people have,
which is like too much money because of crypto and AI.
So it's just you know, the upward All of these
new every new development that people write about in the
mainstream media and seem excited about on Wall Street is
all just ways to redistribute money upward. And then those people, unfortunately,

(53:34):
they have a problem they have to deal with, which
is like what am I going to spend all this
money on?

Speaker 2 (53:39):
And so that's a small boat.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Not definitely not a small shit boat. Martha Stewart has
some amazing quotes in here. So she's talking about how,
like she, it used to be cool to be on yachts,
but she says, I mean it's almost common now. Extreme wealth.
We know everybody that's really rich, we know them all.

(54:03):
I mean it started in the nineteen nineties when I
first went public with like her, I'm Martha Stewart Omnimedia.
I was hanging out with Bill Gates and Charles Simonia.
I don't know who that is. The and the Google Boys.
I mean that's when it starts with the Google biys,
them google boys. But uh now everybody has one. She says.

(54:26):
The reason he got a got MV, why she's talking
about next husband was when he visited Ron Perlman's boat.
I was on the board of Revlon Like, it's just
all the shit, I don't. Yeah, she's just going from
one like statement. She just seems so like bored and
just insulated.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
I was CEO of the Atlantic Ocean, so yeah, I
was on Ron Perlman's boat.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
At one point, she's slipping through her Instagram feed and
finds that she's just getting a lot of outrage comments
from fans. Somebody wrote, meanwhile, people can't afford food or rent,
and her agent leans over and whispers to me, to
the writer, there's not a better Instagram follow than Martha
Stewart forty eight at Martha Stewart forty eight. So that's yeah,

(55:17):
the next president. But like they still they like know
they get it. So like the writers like do you
does this bother you? What with like Zoron Mamdani being
nominated in New York and like Donald Trump trying to
like help billionaires, And she's like, the Roman Empire's coming
to an end. I always get that I'm mother, hen,

(55:38):
I'm not supposed to be doing this stuff. I'm supposed
to be in the garden picking tomatoes. So she turns
it into like a women empowerment thing.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Yeah, but which and.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Then she has a run where she's like mad about
people caving to Donald Trump. But then she goes on
to say, I'm a great admirer of Elon Musk and
what he's done. He's an inventor. He's like the Michael
Angelou of our time, and look what's happening to him.
Even he is struggling and there's very little he can
do until something big happens. People hate him. I mean

(56:10):
I had to put my tesla in the garage, and
I like, my tesla, what kind do you have? The
fanciest one, self driving tesla. Even my daughter won't take it,
and she's an environmentalist, she won't take it.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
I can't give this fucking thing away.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Yeah. Then there's like a model dancing and she's like,
keep dancing, you're setting the vibe. Girl. Oh why, oh why.
Toby Maguire is there with his teenage son. Everyone's doing
small doses of LSD, getting shit fased on margs and daks,

(56:47):
and just like go back and forth between talking about
how surreal it is to be famous and around this
many other famous people, and then like trying to justify
why it's okay, and yeah, it's just they're like LARPing
as people from before we knew that this is unsustainable.
It feels like they're like, yeah, this feels like the

(57:10):
nineties anyways. Uh, it just it feels like. Oh. Also,
at the end, as the guy's getting off the boat,
he gets a call from like one of the people
involved with organizing it, and they're like, oh, could you
not say that this person was there also this person
And then like a little later, they're like, actually, you

(57:31):
can't write this article, and he's like, yeah, sorry, I
was there. You let me there. Yeah, I'm allowed to
say what I saw. But makes sense that they wouldn't
want him to say that. It's just I guess they
get they're getting a little lazy, and they chose not
to like car bomb him or whatever, like they did
a person who their Panama papers. Yeah, oh brutal. Yeah, anyways,

(57:57):
how sick would it have been to be there? You guys?

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Right? God, I was busy the amount of stuff I
would have stolen while these people were doing drugs. I'd
just be like checking all of the doors to all
of their friends, like you're gonna sell all this ship
on eBay and then just like give all the money
away help someone pay their rent, Like I would have
been a problem on this but like the forecast signal

(58:23):
and like pointing it directly into the water, like I
would have been a major fucking problem. So I don't know,
I'm not sick for me personally.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
What's that high pitched squeal that.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Don't ask? Don't ask about?

Speaker 4 (58:36):
It's fine? Two more drugs, two more drugs.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Two more dry drugs. This is going to really freak
you out. Linger on LSD and the and the or
is finally up.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
They can smell it. They can smell the LSD through
the whole of the boat into.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Orcas love LSD.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
They can't get enough of it. Their whole world's one
big acid trip, those stupid fish.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
I will, I will admit that I'm a little hostile
to this because I'm fucking a hater and I'm jealous,
and like I just am not on my grindset hard enough,
and like I wish I could have done that. You know,
one of these days I'll taste what a true daker
taste like in the mouth of Tom Brady. That makes

(59:22):
it sound like I want him to baby burd it
to me, which is fine. And that's how they drink.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
There's no straws. They have to regurgitate food to one
another just so it doesn't get contaminated by the upper
middle class.

Speaker 4 (59:33):
I feel like that was the Epstein thing. I don't
know if that was this yacht specifically.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
You're right, I get confused. I confuse these two things
all the time.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
It's easy to do.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
We have no glasses on this on this island, all
drinks are mixed in mouths and regurgitated between guests. All right,
that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please
like and review the show If you like, the show

(01:00:03):
means the world of Miles. He needs your validation. Folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to you Monday. Bye.
