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. Miles were thrilled to be joined in
our third seat by the Senior Fellow for Gender Equity,
Paid Leave and Care Policy and the director and founder
of the entertainment initiative at the Better Life Lab. She's
drinking water out of a comically large beer stein. Please,
welcome to the show, Vicky Saber.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You guys, Oh well, we try, We try. In a
world where it seems there's a lot of darkness, how
could you not.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Have fun when talking about what's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What I said, right right, it's I'm very curious for you.
You're in d C and the work you're doing is
basically diametrically opposed to all the values that are coming
out of this current administration. What I'm stretched out talking
about it. And then and I and I have friends
like my my partner, she's from DC, so a lot
(01:21):
of people in her orbit and families are federal workers.
And there's all varying forms of existential dread of getting rift.
Everyone is saying that for shorthand, and I'm like rift
and like reduction in force, and I was like, uh, yeah,
what's what's just? What's it like? What's it like?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, No, that's what they say. Yeah, what's it like?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, I was walking down the street yesterday and there
were like four National Guard walking towards me with rifles.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
That's fun.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That's kind of what it's like right now. Yeah, it's
a little.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I would say two things.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I think the communities of people are together in ways
that are really exciting, Like neighbors are showing up for
each other. Yeah, there's like people and fatigues with weapons
all over the place, and people are scared, and restaurants
are kind of empty. Yeah, and a lot of people
don't have jobs or don't know if they.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Will have jobs. Do you feel like it's worth it
because you can wear your watch outside again, like the
administration keeps talking about you can wear hyper expensive watches
outside in DC.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, that doesn't really make up for it for me.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I can I work for ye rolexes now because I
can afford them?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Of course, Right, you might get arrested by the National Guard,
or as we call it, zip zap zopped by the guard.
Getting fired rift is so weird. It's like, we're just man,
I mean, I'm reducing the workforce and ruining people's lives.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I have a friend who works at HHS and they
are just like, every day you just wonder if you
get the rift alert And I'm like, at first, I
was like, am I not? I just wasn't savvy on
the term. But yeah, that the acronym for reduction enforce excation.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, all right, Vicky, We're gonna get to know you
a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple
of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about
the world, the tech economy, I guess chat. GPT just
announced that they're partnering with Walmart to make capitalism even
more frictionless and their product worse. We're breaking this product
(03:31):
that people are in the process of adopting in record time.
So we're going to talk about that. We're going to
talk about a new study that went viral on Wall
Street about how circular aka incestuous, the flow chart of
money is. On the AI side, it's like a handful
of companies just all slashing money back and forth between
(03:52):
each other, and that could be a bad thing because
as they note the statistics coming from there, like we're
going to do a blo item here and say one
of the players, their statistics are very opaque and chat
gpt like they forget they're doing a blind on the
next sentence. So we'll talk about that, and just generally
(04:14):
like there's a lot of articles also coming out about
how America is like behind the curve behind China on
the on technology robotics, and they they're written with a
tenor of fear, and I just want to say I
feel fine about this. So all of that plenty more.
But first, VICKI, we do like to ask our guests
(04:35):
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I love Broadway and I love musicals, and they are
like the thing that gives me joy in this moment
of you know a lot. So I have windows open
trying to figure out what I should go see when
I'm next in New York.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Any early contenders.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Definitely want to see Chess, Definitely want to see Ragtime.
Another fun fact about me, I go to Adult Broadway
camp every year, So spend spend a week in New
York and sing and dance and uh yeah, meet other
cool people from across the country who, like may or
may not. Most of them are talented. We're all like
varying levels. I would never want to do this professionally,
(05:17):
but it's super fun.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
What's your vocal range?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, just hit us with hit us with a little riff.
Sorry if you don't.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
If you know what I'm singing. We just heard Laura
Trump sing I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
So cool.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, this past summer I sang finish the Fight from Stuffs,
which was like very on point, just about the fight
for women's equality. Uh so I'm not going to do
that for you.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Okay, you mean to put you on this spot?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I could, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I could with Laura Trump offering to she could be
the halftime performer if they asked me, I don't know,
I'm just an idea. I mean you think about how
mad the left would be if you asked me to
perform at the Super Bowl halftime show to help my
fledgling career. Yeah doing that too, guys. Think about how
mad the left would be if you let me make
(06:05):
the next Pixar movie. Yeah, right, right, right, Yeah? What
is something you think is under its?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Man, I just think it's underrated, like like just not
knowing new like jen alpha slang. It's fine, dude, Like
you know what I'm saying, Like, let them have a
thing I find.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You know what I did you witness somebody uh speaking
outside of their age bracket?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Yes, I witnessed somebody speaking out of side of the
age bracket and it was okay, the other fathers in
the building. You will be there very soon, Miles. And
the pick up lines, right, the after school pickup line
is the oh my god, it is the waffle House
of dad ship where you just got a like you
(06:50):
just you can't like you have to learn how you
got to keep to yourself. Jack, please attest to this,
like you have to be very selective as you'll start
a conversation with it. It can go horribly right, it
will go in weird direction, it could go in awful
directions and it and it's like it's lose lose because
let's just say you meet a dude and you're like,
(07:10):
that's actually a cool last dude, but then our kids
don't get along fu right, But then the kid that
your child likes got a weirdo ass dad, and now
you're like ship Like it's just like it's.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I'm gonna drop you off.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's like I'll drop you off, you know what I'm saying.
So it's just like it's just so much.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Give a little honk.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yes, don't let them figure out how do hip hop?
Or that I got a podcast or you like, because
they're looking for somebody. Yes, we're both looking for somebody.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's kind of you're a rapper and podcast. If you
were a stand up comedian also, it would be cooked
all back, Jason, I do a little wrapping myself. It's
all you play the shook Ones instrumental.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Now, luckily a few times I've scored. So the dude
that runs the record label that put out Andrea's flute record.
Yeah yeah, so they family goes to my kids' school.
So like I've lucked out a few times like that dude,
That dude's dope, you know what I'm saying, Like like
just all this, like yeah, I was like, okay, he's dope. Right,
(08:20):
So I've scored every once in a while, but sometimes
you just run into the dude that sees me and
thinks I want to hear him try out his new slang.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Right, And I'm like seven right? What?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And I have to look at Homie and be like, look, man,
just keep whipping, and they nay, like just stay where
you are, Just stay You're gone, Homie, Like you feel
me like, find something timeless, like whatever, you know, like
whatever the verbal version of like just a pair of
clean dickies and a white tea is some chucks, bro, Like,
(08:57):
just stay classic.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
You feel me like you can't lose if you just
stay classic. It's okay. You don't know what six seven is?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, it's fine. That's their thing. Let them have a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah right, Yeah, So I just told it doesn't mean anything,
so it's fine for me to use it in all contexts. Actually,
and you know what, you might be right, And that's
actually cool and that makes me cool, just that fly out.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And here's the thing, because I have it, you might
be right? You know why? You know why you might
be right?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Or why?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I don't know because I don't know. And it's okay
that I don't know. And guess what, these kids don't
know what the fuck we're talking about. They don't know
what the hell were talking about.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
They don't want to know when they hear a song
that like, actually that song came from Let them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Have a song, man, you want to hear the sample though,
you want.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
To hear the sample. No, let them have a song.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Like I almost showed my daughter the Luther Vandro song
as she was singing along to Sissy and Kendrick, and
I caught myself and was like, why are you doing this?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You know what happens?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, exactly, let her have it, you know who not like,
what is something you think is over?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah? That would be Superman.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
No.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Now she asked me why is it called Luther? Then
I would tell her, but like, as.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
She's not asking the red questions, you.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Should, I mean, but you're the cool dad. I feel
like that's kind of the formative process, is you have
somebody even though they're not into it, they're gonna be like,
you know, actually I did appreciate you. Actually now my.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oldest But she found it on her own. So the
thing was I just exposed her to it. I didn't
like make her. It was just you would come in
the house. I'm playing in the house, I'm walking around,
I'm doing this is what we're playing, there's records that
those are the records right there. I'm pulling from there
and just let it be a part of her ethos.
And now she's like, yeah, now she's you see the
(10:46):
crates behind me, She's like digging through them crates.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, well, this is something
you think is overraged.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Okay, I'm over everyone's holes like Trader Joe's Hall, Marshall's Hall, groceries. Yes,
like that's where we're atop.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Check out my exactly. I mean I get it. In
the era of how much groceries cost, you might as
well stunt.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You're like, yeah, I bought that eight dollars bag of flour,
right Like I.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Just I just to me, it just screams mental illness
right where I'm just like, I don't either. You went
shopping and spent too much money that you shouldn't have
spend on shit that nobody cares about. Like, don't unbox
me or irmez perse Like, I'm sorry, in this economy,
nobody needs to see that shit, bitch. And then also
like you said, oh your groceries, you mean you went
grocery shopping. You want to show me that you got
the fucking ice to JoJo's. I don't care, like what
(11:37):
are we doing? What are we doing?
Speaker 8 (11:39):
It?
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Just I just remember like when my mom used to
go out and she would spend a morning doing errands, right,
and I would fucking beg and plead to get out
of them because I didn't want to do it. And
then she'd come home and she'd be like.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You want to see everything I got?
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And I'm like, no, no, I don't. I didn't want
to go. Why do I? And now I'm on the
internet and every third thing I scroll past, it's like
here's my hall and it's like it's just that consumerism
and peace. Just do it in peace. I don't want
to see it. I don't need to watch your shop.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
That's what's frightening, is that like hyper consumption as content
is just like a very normal thing where it's like
why I bought six thousand dollars of stuff and here
I am, or just seeing like the kinds of shit
now people like collect like there's like this completionist form
of hyper consumption where it's like yes, oh I gotta
have every version of this bath bomb or I have
(12:27):
every single variety of this, like like skincare prove saw.
There are a couple of people I watch on YouTube
who are just kind of like they're like, yo, check
out this shit I'm seeing on TikTok, And people have
like whole rooms like just dedicated to like cosmetics and
things that are unopened, that are purely like and this
is this, and here are my sacred consumerble consumables. Welcome
(12:49):
to my chamber.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Like I remember, we just had to deal with couponners,
you know what I mean. You know, there's just like
this notion of Coop on it and you had like
this store of stuff because you had coupon so hard.
And it's like now people are like, no, I don't
need a Coop and I just not I want the
nine different boxes of Tide.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, because they're you know, what are we doing? We
used to get this from being able to afford to
go to the grocery store, right, and now we have
to go like synthetic diet coke lime version of consumer
like the White Noise scene where he's like spiritually fucked
up and he like makes his family go to the
grocery store and be like, look at the colors. Jesus.
(13:28):
This feels fucking great, Like now you just get that online.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Well, I think that's like it's all because they're all
just downstream of watching billionaires by shit, and everybody's just
trying to do their version of it. So billionaires like, yo,
check out, there's Lerigit, there's among the Geek six or whatever,
and people like, okay, what's my version? Okay, I bought
five one hundred dollars worth of Trader Joe's canvas shopping
bags that I've like framed on my wall. And then
now it's smoke for those Now, oh wow, you're telling people.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You got all that shit. Okay, wouldn't may be?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But like in the same way too, Like the grocery
thing I get in a way because it's so expensive
that why wouldn't you be like, yeah, yeah, I got
it like that. I went to the fucking grocery store.
I bought this much, And when it gets to that level,
I'm like, God, this is so fucking.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You in the money phone with a box of tide,
yeah yeah, with toilet paper yeah no.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
I had like basically the like checkout gall at publics
and the like you know, check yourself out section, and
I bought six things I bought organic blackberries. I bought
organic Kiwi's. I bought an organic mango. I bought some brassola,
which is dried Italian beef, and I bought a thing
(14:42):
of feti cheese. And then I bought like a jar
of honey, right, and I'm ringing them through and the
girls watching me rings. You know, it was close to seventy.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, that was gonna be my wow.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Because because the organic berries were like six dollars like
a card, and I thought that they were three for five.
So I had bought like the three of them, you know,
they weren't three for five, and so I had to
like call her over and be like and she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no,
those are the non ones. I was like, yeah, the
non organic ones that were molding and the containers. Yeah, okay,
that makes sense, but this teenager had to come over
(15:21):
and take them off. When when she saw how much
it was, She's like, let me check it. And I
was like, no, babe, that's just what shit costs. Like
what it's not it's not wrong. And then she was
just like she was like concerned for my well being.
She was like, are you gonna be okay? Like can
you affoord this? Like are you all right?
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Like?
Speaker 7 (15:37):
And I was like, I was like, girl, I do
have it like that. I am okay buying these things.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
But you also actually follow me.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Yeah, but like they look on her face when she
saw how much seven things cost, and she was just like,
I still live at.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Home, right, This is like the one I'm just so
surprised Democrats aren't even fucking talking about this, like the
one thing you could probably get some Republicans nodding along
with to be like, yeah, I bought a loaf of
bread that was seven dollars, like a loaf of white bread.
We remember how.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Kamala Harris talked about like greedflation once exactly once, but
the uber.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
People got her to fucking come on, like whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa weather in large fucked up about that bro
trying to make me less money.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm fucking stolen over here.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
No, but it was the honey. The honey was like
seventeen dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I didn't really the honey, damn Jesus.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
And I was just like shit, because I was like
what is I was still adding it up. We as
we're going through to decipher what was so expensive and
it was the honey, and she's like, do you still
want it?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I was like, yes, I still choice until I have
my apery set.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Up correct and someone in my house is allergic to
be so that'll be never so real gross situation, you know,
Oh yeah, for real, for real, I would be devastated.
I would be devastated.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Thomas.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Yeah, crazy, but yeah, man, keep your groceries to yourself. Dog,
it's it's expensive. I don't want to see it. Don't
show me what you got. Make me jealous of food
hard enough from a.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Fat lady, Like, yeah, I got it like that, but
you don't have to know about it, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Just drizzling organic honey over your head.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Right all over myself.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
That's right. All right, let's take a quick break and
we'll be back to talking about the news and we're
back prob. What is something that you say is overrated?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I think Vegas? Man, Oh, I just say it's just listen, Okay.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
So I just recently had to do some work out
there and it was one of those things where I
had to admit I tried like that. I feel like
I felt like this my whole life, Like I tried
so hard and come so far, but in the end
it doesn't even doesn't know. I tried, Yeah, this soul
(18:01):
like all the hommies being like, oh, we gonna do
a Vegas trip. My sister, like my sister and her husband,
like my my my my mom has this like a
time share out there, and my sister and my brother
in law use it all the time they go, and
it's like we just go for the buffets, you know.
And I'm just like, I from the partyingist of party
years too. Maybe we're gonna go celebrate the Homies fortieth
(18:25):
or the Usher, the Wu Tang, you know, the Silk Sonic.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Like I'm just like, you know what, man, I just
don't like it here.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I just I just I just I don't.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I don't see it, y'all.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You can age out, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
And I was just like, man, I don't. And that's
what I was thinking. I was like, did I just
age out? But then I was like, I don't think
I ever really really fucked with it.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I don't think I ever really.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Fucked with it, man, Like I think again, it's the
backpacker in me. I was like, I need some real
you know, I don't know, man, it's just I'm good,
what good?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
What good art has come from Vegas? Are? They're good?
Seven O two?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
The R and B Group, Okay, they're dizzy, right the
rapper all right, I'm just coming seven oh two. Yeah,
that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's their area code I remember. Yeah. No, I'm not
I'm not gonna shop. I'm not gonna say Vegas is
a barren wasteland. No, not like that. I mean, it's like,
it's very interesting.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Uh once you get out of the strip, you know,
it's a regular ass city once you get out the strip,
you know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
But just man, I just feel like the like in
some ways, you can see it as a place where
great music goes to die, like musicians at the end
of their life or you know, they killed two part.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's like when a European soccer player comes to MLS, right,
it's like, oh, okay, so you finished with the main
with the main thing.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Now you're just like MVP seven years in a row.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, I think I did. I did used
to agree about the partying stuff, but then me and
my friends came up with this saying that whatever happen
in Vegas, stay in vas and like I was like, oh, nice,
you can crime here, you can feel bad about it.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
He's just cheat, That's basically said, just you go to
Vegas and cheat on our spouses.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
So funny, that's how it started, and that's what it
sounds like.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah exactly, I mean in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I don't know if I want to live like that,
Like you know what I'm saying. And here's the thing, bro,
you know it, don't it. Don't stay in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It turns out human beings are social creatures. They want
to say ship out loud.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That's just how they work.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
And you still you still fuck that other woman.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That still happened. I used to go to Vegas a
lot because I had a friend whose dad was a
big time gambler.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
So it would always be like this free trip to
be like, oh my dad's want Vegas. You want to
go to Vegas?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And I'm like, yeah, fuck it, and I'd be like seventeens,
but we just had to be up in it, yeah
and like eat good and then like you know, his
dad would break us up with some cash or whatever,
and then we were like, you know, try and buy
like a fucking Iceberg shirt or some ship. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I never had this kind of money anyway. So I've
really been interested in seeing like what's happening right now
because everyone, I mean, it seems to be that with
(21:08):
like the pandemic and a lot of people getting like checks,
a lot of people began to go to Vegas to
spend more money, and then like the casinos are like,
we can actually start charging people more. And then it
became more and more and more to the point where
now nobody's like, you're fucking kidding, I'm not gonna pay
this much money to stay here, when before that wasn't
(21:29):
the that wasn't the thing. That usually wasn't an obstacle
to come to Vegas, even pre pandemic. It was like
you can get a cheap hotel room and get a
cheap meal deal with cheap yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You will fly you here. Basically you give us your money.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Yeah, that's what I afford to give us your money.
They're like, well, no, it's all that was the Really
that was my last experience. I was like, man, I
you what, I the one saving grace was the fact
that like you're like a really good meal for cheap,
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
And I'm like that now that's gone, you could eat
fucking lobster tail for like five bucks. You're like, what
the fuck?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
This is great? Boy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
We checked into that hotel, it was like, all right,
here's your you know, you swipe for incidentals and then
they then they said something that I was like, I
almost slapped the ship out of this person. They said, okay,
here's your incidentals, and then here's your resort fee.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yea resort, man, What the hell is the resort feed?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
You get the fu something we don't have to put
in the price. That's actually pretty great for us. But
you're you're already here, so yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah, I'm paying the taxes that which okay, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But then there's the fee for the rest.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Then there's the fee for the fact that this is
a resort.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, you feel bad about that. You can get mad
at the service workers who are being paid by that.
We just like to split that out so that you
don't know about it until the last second. And then
also it's like this, yea takes money to keep all
these people employed. Yeah, I mean yeah, every city is
just suffering now, in particular like Vegas, I feel like
(23:02):
is a little like Disney in the sense that I've
always suspected, Like you go there, Disney, Yeah, yeah, Debutch Disney,
Like you see crimes that I'm like, how are they
not reporting?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's okay, like.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
There'll be there will be, like very evidently a homicide
or something the police are surrounding, and then you like
look for reporting on it. It's like, you don't know
what you're talking about. Man, what happens stays in Vegas?
You know, like that that's our police force model.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
That twenty five year old girl is seventeen. I don't
care what that is a child? There is everyone, Yeah,
that is a child.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Okay. The second I think, especially like for kids who
grew up near Vegas, that's like one of the first
scams you try and run.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
The second you get an.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
ID, you think son work. Like this was obviously for
millennials because now kids are like, what the you.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Want to you want to go drink alcohol?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah it was a different time, okay, Yeah, what are
you born in the nineteen hundreds?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah you smoke? You smoke weed, dude, What the fuck
come man? You can smoke it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Okay, But yeah, it was just a different, different time anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
But I do think that Vegas tried to do what
Disney did, like and found that the demand for Vegas
is a little bit more like Disney was just like,
We're just going to keep raising the prices and people
will keep coming. Yeah, and Vegas found out like that
that doesn't quite work. Their demand is a little bit
more inelastic.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
They were hoping because the X factor for Disney is children,
Like you have to do it for the children if
it's just for me, like you know what we did
the kids.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, it's like we know, you can sit and Jay
Brandy on any show. I can do that at home. Yeah, yeah,
I can do that at home.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You can also gamble online so I don't have to
be here.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yes, you can.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Ruin your you can ruin your life from the comfort
of your own.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Home, your toilet.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You can have an alcoholic beverage and gamble away your
life savings from your toilet. Yeah, all right, let's talk
about let's talk about shout out to Lucy. All right,
all right, So there's no Kings, there's no Kings demonstration
coming up, and the GOP is raising to turn this
(25:13):
into like full Antifa Olympics. Yeah, they're they're trying to
make people scared.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You know this is uh, the clock is ticking basically
on the Republicans trying to fully have like a vice
grip on dissent in this country, especially before the dubious
mid terms. And I will say dubious because this regime
seems to have no issues with lying at any cost.
So what would stop them? I mean, the Republican just
(25:41):
bought the voting systems that you know operate in over
twenty or twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Dominion they bought.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
And currently the Supreme Court is hearing a case that
would gut the Voting Rights Act basically and allow GOP
legislatures to redraw even more racist, fucking jerry mandering to
consolidate power. So you know, they at the nerve.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
It's just like it's one thing to be like racist
and evil, it's another thing to look me in the
face like I'm stupid. And I think that that's the
part that's been getting under my skin where I'm like, oh,
I'm a dumb ass, is what you think? Okay, you
hate me, but I'm also a dumb ass. They're like,
let's know what we're doing when they're black man, listen,
when they said we need to rethink these voting laws
(26:28):
and these jerremandering laws because they're based on race, and
that is unfair.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
And I'm like, sir, do you.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Want we don't based talking about they're based on race
because the first lines were based on race. So you
gotta make a law about the race because we're undoing
the race.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, I just I mean, what what about like
the thirteenth Amendment or the fourteenth amendents?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
We can't be tired of it?
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Well, well, so was slavery, sir. I don't understand why.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Yeah, I'm just like, oh so I'm stupid, right, and
I'm stupid when like you say, yeah, them saying I
think the one they're looking at now is the one
in Louisiana right where they're just like, hey man, we
got to redraw this district.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
It's too many black people in it, right, right, Yeah,
that's what's So you're just gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's going to have ramifications outside of the Louisiana because
that's what they'll use to then go yeah, because the
whole thing is about creating, like doing away with minority
representation at all costs and segregating legislatures as much as possible,
and this would basically completely take that out of our
laws and be like, no, go ahead. I mean like
(27:45):
they were tripping on we're interpreting this law completely differently.
But anyway, all that to say is this is all
part of everything we're seeing to try and drastically change
our perception of this country and the norms of it
and what it even means to protest. Because right now,
like Jack was saying, Saturday, no King's protests scheduled across
the country, but it's now a focal point for Republican propaganda.
(28:07):
They're currently on a mission to paint basically anyone or
anything that is not wearing a MAGA hat is some
kind of violent, paid protester that is hell bent on
destroying the nation. And this serves a few purposes. First,
it creates fear among their base, who may potentially come
out to counter protests, because all they're saying is like,
these people are trying to destroy our country.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
We need to stop it. We need to stop it.
You need to stop it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You need to go there and confront these people. Also,
and potentially they could have a flashpoint that they can
use to again, because all they're waiting for is to
smash the martial law button.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Second, shit gets off the act is yeah, fully just
go for it for the flimsiest flimsiest reason. Another reason,
it helps see the idea that people that are against
this regime are de facto criminals and therefore whatever retribution
or malignant form of justice they encounter is justified and deserved.
And also, third, it's a lie meant to convince their
(29:04):
base that everything is actually fine and that there is
nothing to protest and there's nothing to be concerned about.
It your neighbors who keep saying that shit is going
down the toilet and that your rights eventually will also
be impeded. They're paid liars by George Soros.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
They don't even believe that.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
They don't they're being paid by George Soros or robots.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It doesn't matter. It's like we can like beat them up.
It doesn't even matter. They're like robots. I mean, here's
just like, yeah, it's like Star Wars, you can like
funk with the dude. Shit can still be PG because
you're fucked up ship to droids.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So here's Mike Johnson, Okay, the Speaker of the House.
This is again him and his just outright lie about
like what is even happening when people are protesting this
current administration.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Also, just for people who can't see the clip, is
he is the guy behind him on an Apple box?
Or is Mike Johnson? Or is that Victor Webbing y'am
a behind him?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, I don't know. Let me see. Let's just let's
let's do that real quick. This is like the Mystery
Show where we go. How tall is Jake Jillenhall?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Mike, he says he's six foot two. Damn all right,
he's six took. They're saying that guy behind him, he says,
hooking tank. Someone said five to nine. I believe five
to nine, Yeah, five, Speaker of the House Mike.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Johns, Yeah, I don't believe six to two.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
No, not might be not the picture Mike Johnson. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
But anyway, all that to say, here he is again
just he's kicking off the propaganda festivities with this smear
that anyone who's protesting is some kind of American hating whatever.
Just listen to all the adjectives he uses.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Turn it back over the leader. Take some questions. But
we've heard, and many of you have reported already, this
hate America rally that they have coming up for October eighteenth.
Oh my god, the Antifa crowd and the pro Hamas
crowd and the Marxists, they're all going to gather on
the mall. We got some House Democrats selling T shirts
for this event. It is a it is an outrageous
gathering for outrageous purposes. But the Democrats and the Senate
(31:05):
have shown that they're afraid of that crowd, that they
don't want to bow, that they want to bow to them,
bow the need of them, and they don't want to
take incoming from them, and so they're willing to hold
the American people hostage so that they don't have to
face an angry mob of that's a big chunk of
their base.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
What a fucking projection, that is, what a fucking Oh
it's them that's afraid. Guy who is currently shutting down
the House to avoid confirming a Democrat who will help
release the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
M hmmm.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
I just again, you think I'm stupid, Like, yeah, no, exactly,
that's the It's just it gets under my skin so
much because it just with anybody, even just the cities
being like ravaged hellholes. I'm like, just by flight, yeah,
just go you could go, see, right, Okay, just go
(31:54):
just go, go go to the rally, just go see.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, they're like, man, you don't want to go to Portland,
wy seeing somebody in a fraud costume.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Do as little. You never seen a dance, You never
seen a naked dude on a bicycle.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Y'all, Like per Simmons, bro, Like, y'all want to hit
a farmer's market with me?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Right exactly? Oh you know, like artisanal jams.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yes, these are easily That's it's just so frustrating because
I'm like, this is easily.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Verify again, this is not for us.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
This is not for our consumption, because we live, we're
in the lived reality of being in these cities. This
is for the people who are far enough away to
then feel okay that whatever is happening to those people
is fine, because happen to those people in this place
that's been characterized as a war zone or burning fucking
hellhole or whatever. Yeah, here's Senator Roger Marshall going on too,
(32:41):
because they're all this is like their whole thing is
like it's like this hate America thing. They're all calling
it the Hate America Rally again, talking about how this
this this this is gonna get wild because they're all
paid protesters.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
And then October eighteenth is when the protest gets here.
This will be a sourels paid for protest for his
professional protesters show up, the agitators show up, we'll have
to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it'll be peaceful.
I doubt it as well. So I think that they
have to get that march done. They have to show
their protests. They have to fight. Like they're saying, here,
(33:12):
this is all a political show.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
They can't.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, they're like, nothing's wrong. Ignore all the people that
are saying Daddy's a bad man.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Do you know any paid protesters You ever met one?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Oh man?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, Like I remember meeting an astroturfing tea party person before, say,
I was like they take out at yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
If you are a community organizer that works for a nonprofit, hen.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You is ever fucking organize the day in their life
knows there's no fucking The only way I could look,
and I and I did a lot of organizing in
the past, is like you'd be like, hey, well there'll
be some coffee there. There's literally we'll have some plus
some donuts.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I know, coffe miles I don't know, it'll.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Be Young Donuts and some other cheap ship that another
vonn tiers are gonna bring. I don't know, but I
can say there'll be some water. We just have water
here for this much money. No, that's not what it is,
and that's not how That's not how real activism works.
The whole point is to align yourself with other people
that have the same belief system and yes, helping to
sort of build out a network of like minded people
(34:19):
so when something happens, you can then immediately call upon
your network and respond quickly to some kind of event. Now,
this thing that's happening is because there's people, for a
myriad of reasons that they're upset. There are going to
be people who are like, man, what the fuck is
going on in Palestine. They're also going to be laid
off federal workers who are like, I've been working here
for decades and you guys are fucking my life up.
(34:42):
There are so many reasons actually why people would be
upset and so like.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
For this to be actually authentic, you would have to
assume that people don't mind that people want healthcare and
I mean, like, really, in the end, is that really
what people care about, or or you just want to
see their neighbors beat.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Up, or you'd have to assume that when they go
to work that they get they paychecks. You'd have to
assume that people like getting paychecks for going to work.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And and how.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Again, like I feel like I hear my dad's voice,
like you think I'm stupid.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
My dad used to say.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
So when you say I think you do not want
to hear parents say yes, Oh I get it.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
So you think I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Oh so you think I'm stupid. So you're trying to
tell me.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
You're trying to tell me you have control of all
three branches of government and both houses, both parts of Congress,
but the Democrats is holding up the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
It's default.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
You tell me you got the power mother that you can't
can't Philip like we just did.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But you just wait, you just said something there, you
said like we just did.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, like that's a different time.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Okay, Oh my god, you're taking my words out of context.
It's just yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I mean, this helps for an audience of people who
don't know what it's like. And I think also you
have to be pretty insulated to also ignore the own
sort of your own existential threats that present themselves in
your life, like the cost of healthcare, the cost of electricity, now,
the cost of food. It's only it's a it's a
minority of people in this country who can be like, yeah, right,
(36:26):
electricity is more.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Oh yeah, eat that.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I got to pay it, so I don't even check. Yeah, okay,
twenty five bucks for an apple? All right, fine, I
don't really like apple. I'll get to next time. Monty.
People are actually feel that pressure. I think that's a weird.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Again.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I think this is why they're trying to really energetically
paint all of this displeasure, to put it lightly with
what's happening as manufactured, synthetic, artificial outrage because in fact,
everything is going okay. And to please ignore any noises
you hear to the contrary, because that's fake and being
paid for by George.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
So where's the where's the gene in the audience that
it just it feels so natural to me when somebody
says a statement that just kind of feels out landish
for me to go humh on A way they got
that and then as simply as you just did right now,
we was like, man, Mike Johnson looks kind of short
(37:26):
right there. I wonder how tall he is. So when
you say, to YO, when someone says, oh, this is
a Marxist George Soros paid, I'd go, humh is.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
George Soros paid for a protest? Click click click click
click click and be like, seems like that's not true.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Well, it's actually the Soros Foundation is. It's a philanthropic
It's a philanthropic group that then gives money to other
groups that then therefore.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
It's like, I got that's interesting. Let me look that up.
I just don't understand why you can't just be like wow.
I feel like any any one of y'all would say
something to me that felt a little out of pocket.
I love y'all dearly, but I would be like, wow,
where they got and it would.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Just like that's crazy. Even Jack didn't believe was dubious.
When I said Jason Lee was stan Lee's son. He
was like really what yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
And I was like, and I fucked to him. I
said yeah, and then I was like, no, you're right, Yeah,
you're right. You like, I mean, believe that nepotism is
a thing, and that's crazy with me.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
I just don't know where your antennas are. That's at
the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
It does feel like the hate America movement is the
same is being fueled by the same outrage that caused
things that people that people were like, this came out
of nowhere, the occupy movement, Bernie doing well, then fucking
Trump doing well, then Zorn doing well, like all these
you know things that people were like where you know,
(38:53):
where where is this coming from? And you know they're
obviously fueled by fucking inequality and people are like that
they are just since all of these things started happening,
they're just like pushing the accelerator further and further down
on the thing that everyone's responding to. And I think
(39:16):
you're right that like, oh so you think I'm stupid
is probably like I think that's going to be more
and more of the national sentiment, like as they try
to just be like if you're protesting, you hate America,
as people are like feeling pain, like I do, I
don't think that's like a good strategy going for like
(39:37):
as you know, as surprising as like some of his
popularity has been in the past, Like I do think
the fact that everything that he's doing is you know,
accelerating the problem that drove him to popularity in the
first place, and then he's weaponizing and like beating the
shit out of people who are like, we still don't
(39:59):
like this. I think like I do think despite like
some of the you know, wild shit, like I do
think generally, on balance, people are smarter than the mainstream
media gives them credit for, and they are not going
to fall for the I think they hate American movement.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
The media, politicians, they're all kind of like, oh wait,
well I used to be able to do this and
everybody got in line and that's not working anymore. And
I think also too, that's where you see the similarity
with Democrats and Republicans. They both don't want to cop
to the fact that this country could be doing so
much better, but they're coming from their both they're just
coming at it from different angles. One is just like, no,
(40:39):
I mean, we just need to get back to normal,
and the other is like, no, everything's great. You need
to shut the fuck up. And if you say, someone
beat the shit out of you not a winning strategy.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
But we could obviously talk about this for hours, but
what America need to take a quick break and come
back and check in with the DMV that issues your
man card. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll
be right back, and we're back and turning point. USA
(41:15):
has announced that as an alternative to the Bad Bunny
halftime show, they will be putting on the All American
Halftime Show at the super Bowl. You know, one of
those super Bowl halftime shows that doesn't happen at the
super Bowl and caters exclusively to white supremacists.
Speaker 7 (41:33):
It's like when the like, your school has a prom
and they're like, don't go out drinking afterwards. We're gonna
do a lock in where everybody can sleep in the
gym together safely, not touching. You're like, I'm gonna go
fuck my girlfriend and marijuana.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Like in the boiler room or something. You're not gonna
stop me, Nerds.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
They announced this before booking any actual acts. What you do?
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Yeah, so you reactionary group like this, and their whole
energy is giving off not just that they don't have
experience putting on halftime shows, but that they just found
out what music is because they have.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
They announced it. They issued a survey to their users
saying what music genres would you like to see featured
select all that apply Americana, classic rock, country, hip hop, pop, worship,
anything in English.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
It's like, dude, American are going to a Caruso shopping
center in Glendale.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
What America just like land as your land? This land
is no.
Speaker 7 (42:42):
Americana is actually like a subgenre of country that is
largely based in singer and songwriter music that takes to
be a little twangy Okay, it doesn't necessarily have like
overt like country stuff. So I'm trying to think of
like an Americana artist that you would kind of know.
I mean, Sierra Ferrell is kind of Americana. It's sort
(43:04):
of sa, yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
You wish, you wish. He has a lot of a lot.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Of those like you're saying. It's like it's so sonically
sounds like country, like with like slide guitar, like lap
guitar kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (43:20):
Can but not necessarily Okay, So it's kind of.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Like more singer songwriter, what is it not singer songwriter?
Speaker 7 (43:27):
More acoustic. It could have all of those things, but
it's not necessarily going to be like two chords in the.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Truth, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (43:35):
When you think of like that country, you know, but
it can. It can involve elements of of all of
those things. And usually when they when an artist is
kind of buttonholed as Americana, it usually means that like
they are playing like there's usually gonna be sort of
like a banjo, a guitar. That is that kind of aesthetic. Yeah,
(43:58):
that it's it's you know, very singer song already is
the best the best kind of way I can kind
of describe it. So it is an actual job, it
has an actual.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Learning and that's what Turning Point USA is after. In
the end, so a lot of right wingers were fooled
by a fake poster for the event that was like
boasting the poster, says Turning Point USA. Kid Rock America's
halftime show, Ted Nugent, Travis Tritt, Jason Aldeen, Aaron Lewis
of Stained, John rich Stee Greenwood Forgiato Blow, featuring a
(44:32):
guest appearance from Measles. I didn't read to the end.
A bunch of people were like, damn, look how fast
they put this amazing lineup together. This is going to
be incredible. Everyone was like sharing it and like Alex
Jones's Guy Owen Schroyer was like talking about how impressive
(44:52):
it was that the conservative organization impacked in so much
talent in such a tight time frame. And he was
also like, also, isn't this show twenty minutes? How the
fuck are you gonna use all those people anyway? Figure out?
How are you gonna get a fucking guest appearance from
measles too? But okay, god.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
And also the second you look at it, like this
is ai slot like the graphics and me, I'm come,
I mean whatever, they're not not that they're.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Listening, but they spelled us a correctly. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (45:20):
Yeah for someone of those in the South, this looks
like a very professional This is a very professional poster.
I'm telling you himself probably woke up and was like, fuck,
I got drunk last night. What I say yes to?
It's got an eagle on a and a beer. I
must sounds legit. I'll be there. I will be there.
Good I will be there.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Good luck to them, you know what I mean. Nobody's
gonna watch that ship, and they know people are gonna
I mean, we'll watch clips, listen people capture it and
talk about it. But I'm I mean I barely watch
the super Bowl as it is.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
But maybe I.
Speaker 7 (45:52):
Never watch it. I mean, I will be tuning in
absolutely for bad Money because I'm telling you what, uh,
we need to have more dongflap on TV. And as
long as that man is doing that dance and you
know what I'm talking about, if your algorithm looks anything
like mine, that's all I want. That's all I want
for America is just that's just it. I just I
need to just flap it.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (46:14):
I want to see him walk that dinosaur across the stage.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
That's all I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
I want.
Speaker 7 (46:17):
I want him to re record that song but was
not was with bad Bunny, just walking the dinosaur. That's
all I want is just a super edit of just
Dong flapping Bunny with that in the background. That's all
I want.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
That's what I will say. Maybe that will change America's minds,
hearts and mind. That would be if it was just
like a bunch of shaking around, Oh my god, just
America and trying to kill the people who were.
Speaker 7 (46:46):
Yes, yes, yes, it'll be me and John Hamm at
home just happy at ship like hell yeah, just.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Like hey man, I had to open that door for
people to bust it open.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
And then it just does that like zoom pool thing
from Hitchcock movies, like The Jaws, where it seems like
the background is going away as you're getting closer to it,
and then it's just that for forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Somehow you get that Dolly zoom.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Dolly zoom is the word. Thank you, Miles, all right,
hey dolls. You to the world of film was recently
reported that a woman in her six sixties tragically died
on Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride. The cause of death is
yet to be revealed, but this does fly in the
face of a long term urban legend that people are
not allowed to die. No one dies of Disneyland other
(47:38):
than the souls of exhausted parents, because the people of
disney will immediately risk anyone in need of medical help
away so that they can be declared dead in some
hospital and not in the happiest place on earth, because
that would be a bummer. So obviously legend's not true.
Even before the Haunted Mansion incident, there have been many
(47:59):
documented deaths at Disneyland, including a plane crash in the
Epcot parking lot in nineteen eighty. Yeah, I feel like
that would have been hard for them to just be like.
Speaker 7 (48:07):
Yeah, you can't whisk that away, right, You can't just
be like no, no, no, no. That was that was that
was That was a ride elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
And as we've covered on the show last year, Doctor
suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a Disney World restaurant
despite having told the restaurant that they you know, allegedly
did telling the restaurant that they had a food allergy,
and when in the wrongful death lawsuit, Disney attempted to
wriggle out of that by citing Disney Plus's terms and
(48:35):
conditions and be like, sorry, you this term in condition
from Disney Plus that says we're allowed to kill you.
So this is seems like a straightforward, like debunking story,
and then our writer JM is like, seemingly these rumors
stem from the first ever homicide that occurred in the
park in nineteen eighty one. A woman was pinched at
(48:57):
a private party, leading her boyfriend to attack the guy
he thought did it and ended up stabbing him. At
the Submarine Voyage Voyage ride, security found the guy bleeding
to death, but instead of calling nine one one, they
threw him in a Disneyland van with no siren and
drove him to a hospital and Garden Grove, even though
(49:19):
two trauma centers, which were better equipped to handle a stabbing,
were missed, and everybody was like, what the fuck did
you do that for? And I like, I think basically
they found that it was because they were worried that
paramedics would spoil the magic of other guests. So it's
(49:39):
it is. It did start with basically what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yeah, I mean I would ask for a refund the
way I would ask for a refund immediately because it's
already so expensive. I'm like, I saw somebody fall down.
I need a refund. Man, I can't deal with this.
The fucking magic has been ruined. Man.
Speaker 7 (49:55):
Oh, especially if we saw somebody get stabbed. You're like, uh,
submarine voyage, I did not No included shaking.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
They're like, well, we're glad that you've enjoyed our evening
of entertainment, but we have to get Captain Jack Sparrow
out of here.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Sorry yeah, sorry, yeah, giving new meaning to the phrase
stuck in line the fun.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Watch out now. The family of the victim filed a
wrongful death suit against Disney for sixty million dollars. They
won the case but only got six hundred thousand dollars
for some reason. Anyways, the fuck that is?
Speaker 7 (50:32):
So, that's a that's a that's a very wild disparaging
between sixty million and six hundred k, that's all. That's
a huge difference.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
It's called a bit of a discount, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
We threw some sweeteners and we said they can go
to Club thirty three next time they come back to
the murder scene, right, yeah. You guys rushed to.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
The scene and found Yorba bleeding to death. According to
media reports, Yorba may have been bleeding for as long
as twenty minutes before a consequential decision was made. Instead
of calling nine one one, you ever, was picked up
and put into a Disneyland van accompanied by two security
guards and the nurse. The nurse without light, sirens, or
even life saving it was just daffy Duck in a
nurse costume, without even life saving equipment. The van drove
(51:14):
through city streets to a hospital and Garden Grove, two
trauma centers which were better equipped to handle the stabbing.
We're missed.
Speaker 7 (51:20):
See I wonder if this, though, is like related to race.
Do you know what I'm saying, Like we're talking eighties,
We're talking Orange County, We're talking you know, there was
a lot of prominent gang activity going around. You know,
you guys remember.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Movie colors, Colors colors. I feel like Disneyland.
Speaker 7 (51:38):
It was in Disneyland.
Speaker 6 (51:40):
You know.
Speaker 7 (51:41):
It's actually based on historic beef between Donald Duck and
Daffy Duck, who I know are from different universes. But
that's what I'm talking about. White Duck, black Duck. You
know what I'm saying. Absolutely, But no, I wonder about
that right where they're like, no, we can't have gang activity,
campsbody bleeding, we can't have a violent death. But they're
like chokings, No right, uh, old lady has a heart attack,
(52:03):
all right, but all right, I mean nobody violence.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
That make it seem a little spooky, As they noted
in their press release about the event, No they didn't this. Yeah,
this is so it's so grim.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
But again, it's like this makes so much sense too
that they're like, I don't give a fuck about this person.
I'm talking about my business full Like I can't have
people fucking expiring on the and knowing.
Speaker 1 (52:30):
About that ship.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
Put disappear this person into a van and deal with
it off site the American way.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (52:39):
Make it go away, Make it go away, make it
go away. Dang damn.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
All right, that's gonna do it. For this week's Weekly Zeitgeist,
Please like and review the show. If you like the show,
Uh means the world to Miles. He he needs your validation. Folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to you Monday. Bye.
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. Miles were thrilled to be joined in
our third seat by the Senior Fellow for Gender Equity,
Paid Leave and Care Policy and the director and founder
of the entertainment initiative at the Better Life Lab. She's
drinking water out of a comically large beer stein. Please,
welcome to the show, Vicky Saber.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You guys, Oh well, we try, We try. In a
world where it seems there's a lot of darkness, how
could you not.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Have fun when talking about what's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What I said, right right, it's I'm very curious for you.
You're in d C and the work you're doing is
basically diametrically opposed to all the values that are coming
out of this current administration. What I'm stretched out talking
about it. And then and I and I have friends
like my my partner, she's from DC, so a lot
(01:21):
of people in her orbit and families are federal workers.
And there's all varying forms of existential dread of getting rift.
Everyone is saying that for shorthand, and I'm like rift
and like reduction in force, and I was like, uh, yeah,
what's what's just? What's it like? What's it like?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, No, that's what they say. Yeah, what's it like?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, I was walking down the street yesterday and there
were like four National Guard walking towards me with rifles.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
That's fun.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That's kind of what it's like right now. Yeah, it's
a little.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I would say two things.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I think the communities of people are together in ways
that are really exciting, Like neighbors are showing up for
each other. Yeah, there's like people and fatigues with weapons
all over the place, and people are scared, and restaurants
are kind of empty. Yeah, and a lot of people
don't have jobs or don't know if they.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Will have jobs. Do you feel like it's worth it
because you can wear your watch outside again, like the
administration keeps talking about you can wear hyper expensive watches
outside in DC.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, that doesn't really make up for it for me.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I can I work for ye rolexes now because I
can afford them?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Of course, Right, you might get arrested by the National Guard,
or as we call it, zip zap zopped by the guard.
Getting fired rift is so weird. It's like, we're just man,
I mean, I'm reducing the workforce and ruining people's lives.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I have a friend who works at HHS and they
are just like, every day you just wonder if you
get the rift alert And I'm like, at first, I
was like, am I not? I just wasn't savvy on
the term. But yeah, that the acronym for reduction enforce excation.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, all right, Vicky, We're gonna get to know you
a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple
of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about
the world, the tech economy, I guess chat. GPT just
announced that they're partnering with Walmart to make capitalism even
more frictionless and their product worse. We're breaking this product
(03:31):
that people are in the process of adopting in record time.
So we're going to talk about that. We're going to
talk about a new study that went viral on Wall
Street about how circular aka incestuous, the flow chart of
money is. On the AI side, it's like a handful
of companies just all slashing money back and forth between
(03:52):
each other, and that could be a bad thing because
as they note the statistics coming from there, like we're
going to do a blo item here and say one
of the players, their statistics are very opaque and chat
gpt like they forget they're doing a blind on the
next sentence. So we'll talk about that, and just generally
(04:14):
like there's a lot of articles also coming out about
how America is like behind the curve behind China on
the on technology robotics, and they they're written with a
tenor of fear, and I just want to say I
feel fine about this. So all of that plenty more.
But first, VICKI, we do like to ask our guests
(04:35):
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I love Broadway and I love musicals, and they are
like the thing that gives me joy in this moment
of you know a lot. So I have windows open
trying to figure out what I should go see when
I'm next in New York.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Any early contenders.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Definitely want to see Chess, Definitely want to see Ragtime.
Another fun fact about me, I go to Adult Broadway
camp every year, So spend spend a week in New
York and sing and dance and uh yeah, meet other
cool people from across the country who, like may or
may not. Most of them are talented. We're all like
varying levels. I would never want to do this professionally,
(05:17):
but it's super fun.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
What's your vocal range?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, just hit us with hit us with a little riff.
Sorry if you don't.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
If you know what I'm singing. We just heard Laura
Trump sing I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
So cool.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, this past summer I sang finish the Fight from Stuffs,
which was like very on point, just about the fight
for women's equality. Uh so I'm not going to do
that for you.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Okay, you mean to put you on this spot?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I could, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I could with Laura Trump offering to she could be
the halftime performer if they asked me, I don't know,
I'm just an idea. I mean you think about how
mad the left would be if you asked me to
perform at the Super Bowl halftime show to help my
fledgling career. Yeah doing that too, guys. Think about how
mad the left would be if you let me make
(06:05):
the next Pixar movie. Yeah, right, right, right, Yeah? What
is something you think is under its?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Man, I just think it's underrated, like like just not
knowing new like jen alpha slang. It's fine, dude, Like
you know what I'm saying, Like, let them have a
thing I find.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You know what I did you witness somebody uh speaking
outside of their age bracket?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Yes, I witnessed somebody speaking out of side of the
age bracket and it was okay, the other fathers in
the building. You will be there very soon, Miles. And
the pick up lines, right, the after school pickup line
is the oh my god, it is the waffle House
of dad ship where you just got a like you
(06:50):
just you can't like you have to learn how you
got to keep to yourself. Jack, please attest to this,
like you have to be very selective as you'll start
a conversation with it. It can go horribly right, it
will go in weird direction, it could go in awful
directions and it and it's like it's lose lose because
let's just say you meet a dude and you're like,
(07:10):
that's actually a cool last dude, but then our kids
don't get along fu right, But then the kid that
your child likes got a weirdo ass dad, and now
you're like ship Like it's just like it's.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I'm gonna drop you off.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's like I'll drop you off, you know what I'm saying.
So it's just like it's just so much.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Give a little honk.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yes, don't let them figure out how do hip hop?
Or that I got a podcast or you like, because
they're looking for somebody. Yes, we're both looking for somebody.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's kind of you're a rapper and podcast. If you
were a stand up comedian also, it would be cooked
all back, Jason, I do a little wrapping myself. It's
all you play the shook Ones instrumental.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Now, luckily a few times I've scored. So the dude
that runs the record label that put out Andrea's flute record.
Yeah yeah, so they family goes to my kids' school.
So like I've lucked out a few times like that dude,
That dude's dope, you know what I'm saying, Like like
just all this, like yeah, I was like, okay, he's dope. Right,
(08:20):
So I've scored every once in a while, but sometimes
you just run into the dude that sees me and
thinks I want to hear him try out his new slang.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Right, And I'm like seven right? What?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And I have to look at Homie and be like, look, man,
just keep whipping, and they nay, like just stay where
you are, Just stay You're gone, Homie, Like you feel
me like, find something timeless, like whatever, you know, like
whatever the verbal version of like just a pair of
clean dickies and a white tea is some chucks, bro, Like,
(08:57):
just stay classic.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
You feel me like you can't lose if you just
stay classic. It's okay. You don't know what six seven is?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, it's fine. That's their thing. Let them have a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah right, Yeah, So I just told it doesn't mean anything,
so it's fine for me to use it in all contexts. Actually,
and you know what, you might be right, And that's
actually cool and that makes me cool, just that fly out.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And here's the thing, because I have it, you might
be right? You know why? You know why you might
be right?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Or why?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I don't know because I don't know. And it's okay
that I don't know. And guess what, these kids don't
know what the fuck we're talking about. They don't know
what the hell were talking about.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
They don't want to know when they hear a song
that like, actually that song came from Let them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Have a song, man, you want to hear the sample though,
you want.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
To hear the sample. No, let them have a song.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Like I almost showed my daughter the Luther Vandro song
as she was singing along to Sissy and Kendrick, and
I caught myself and was like, why are you doing this?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You know what happens?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, exactly, let her have it, you know who not like,
what is something you think is over?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah? That would be Superman.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
No.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Now she asked me why is it called Luther? Then
I would tell her, but like, as.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
She's not asking the red questions, you.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Should, I mean, but you're the cool dad. I feel
like that's kind of the formative process, is you have
somebody even though they're not into it, they're gonna be like,
you know, actually I did appreciate you. Actually now my.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oldest But she found it on her own. So the
thing was I just exposed her to it. I didn't
like make her. It was just you would come in
the house. I'm playing in the house, I'm walking around,
I'm doing this is what we're playing, there's records that
those are the records right there. I'm pulling from there
and just let it be a part of her ethos.
And now she's like, yeah, now she's you see the
(10:46):
crates behind me, She's like digging through them crates.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, well, this is something
you think is overraged.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Okay, I'm over everyone's holes like Trader Joe's Hall, Marshall's Hall, groceries. Yes,
like that's where we're atop.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Check out my exactly. I mean I get it. In
the era of how much groceries cost, you might as
well stunt.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You're like, yeah, I bought that eight dollars bag of flour,
right Like I.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Just I just to me, it just screams mental illness
right where I'm just like, I don't either. You went
shopping and spent too much money that you shouldn't have
spend on shit that nobody cares about. Like, don't unbox
me or irmez perse Like, I'm sorry, in this economy,
nobody needs to see that shit, bitch. And then also
like you said, oh your groceries, you mean you went
grocery shopping. You want to show me that you got
the fucking ice to JoJo's. I don't care, like what
(11:37):
are we doing? What are we doing?
Speaker 8 (11:39):
It?
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Just I just remember like when my mom used to
go out and she would spend a morning doing errands, right,
and I would fucking beg and plead to get out
of them because I didn't want to do it. And
then she'd come home and she'd be like.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You want to see everything I got?
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And I'm like, no, no, I don't. I didn't want
to go. Why do I? And now I'm on the
internet and every third thing I scroll past, it's like
here's my hall and it's like it's just that consumerism
and peace. Just do it in peace. I don't want
to see it. I don't need to watch your shop.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
That's what's frightening, is that like hyper consumption as content
is just like a very normal thing where it's like
why I bought six thousand dollars of stuff and here
I am, or just seeing like the kinds of shit
now people like collect like there's like this completionist form
of hyper consumption where it's like yes, oh I gotta
have every version of this bath bomb or I have
(12:27):
every single variety of this, like like skincare prove saw.
There are a couple of people I watch on YouTube
who are just kind of like they're like, yo, check
out this shit I'm seeing on TikTok, And people have
like whole rooms like just dedicated to like cosmetics and
things that are unopened, that are purely like and this
is this, and here are my sacred consumerble consumables. Welcome
(12:49):
to my chamber.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Like I remember, we just had to deal with couponners,
you know what I mean. You know, there's just like
this notion of Coop on it and you had like
this store of stuff because you had coupon so hard.
And it's like now people are like, no, I don't
need a Coop and I just not I want the
nine different boxes of Tide.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, because they're you know, what are we doing? We
used to get this from being able to afford to
go to the grocery store, right, and now we have
to go like synthetic diet coke lime version of consumer
like the White Noise scene where he's like spiritually fucked
up and he like makes his family go to the
grocery store and be like, look at the colors. Jesus.
(13:28):
This feels fucking great, Like now you just get that online.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Well, I think that's like it's all because they're all
just downstream of watching billionaires by shit, and everybody's just
trying to do their version of it. So billionaires like, yo,
check out, there's Lerigit, there's among the Geek six or whatever,
and people like, okay, what's my version? Okay, I bought
five one hundred dollars worth of Trader Joe's canvas shopping
bags that I've like framed on my wall. And then
now it's smoke for those Now, oh wow, you're telling people.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You got all that shit. Okay, wouldn't may be?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But like in the same way too, Like the grocery
thing I get in a way because it's so expensive
that why wouldn't you be like, yeah, yeah, I got
it like that. I went to the fucking grocery store.
I bought this much, And when it gets to that level,
I'm like, God, this is so fucking.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You in the money phone with a box of tide,
yeah yeah, with toilet paper yeah no.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
I had like basically the like checkout gall at publics
and the like you know, check yourself out section, and
I bought six things I bought organic blackberries. I bought
organic Kiwi's. I bought an organic mango. I bought some brassola,
which is dried Italian beef, and I bought a thing
(14:42):
of feti cheese. And then I bought like a jar
of honey, right, and I'm ringing them through and the
girls watching me rings. You know, it was close to seventy.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, that was gonna be my wow.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Because because the organic berries were like six dollars like
a card, and I thought that they were three for five.
So I had bought like the three of them, you know,
they weren't three for five, and so I had to
like call her over and be like and she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no,
those are the non ones. I was like, yeah, the
non organic ones that were molding and the containers. Yeah, okay,
that makes sense, but this teenager had to come over
(15:21):
and take them off. When when she saw how much
it was, She's like, let me check it. And I
was like, no, babe, that's just what shit costs. Like
what it's not it's not wrong. And then she was
just like she was like concerned for my well being.
She was like, are you gonna be okay? Like can
you affoord this? Like are you all right?
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Like?
Speaker 7 (15:37):
And I was like, I was like, girl, I do
have it like that. I am okay buying these things.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
But you also actually follow me.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Yeah, but like they look on her face when she
saw how much seven things cost, and she was just like,
I still live at.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Home, right, This is like the one I'm just so
surprised Democrats aren't even fucking talking about this, like the
one thing you could probably get some Republicans nodding along
with to be like, yeah, I bought a loaf of
bread that was seven dollars, like a loaf of white bread.
We remember how.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Kamala Harris talked about like greedflation once exactly once, but
the uber.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
People got her to fucking come on, like whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa weather in large fucked up about that bro
trying to make me less money.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm fucking stolen over here.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
No, but it was the honey. The honey was like
seventeen dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I didn't really the honey, damn Jesus.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
And I was just like shit, because I was like
what is I was still adding it up. We as
we're going through to decipher what was so expensive and
it was the honey, and she's like, do you still
want it?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I was like, yes, I still choice until I have
my apery set.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Up correct and someone in my house is allergic to
be so that'll be never so real gross situation, you know,
Oh yeah, for real, for real, I would be devastated.
I would be devastated.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Thomas.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Yeah, crazy, but yeah, man, keep your groceries to yourself. Dog,
it's it's expensive. I don't want to see it. Don't
show me what you got. Make me jealous of food
hard enough from a.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Fat lady, Like, yeah, I got it like that, but
you don't have to know about it, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Just drizzling organic honey over your head.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Right all over myself.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
That's right. All right, let's take a quick break and
we'll be back to talking about the news and we're
back prob. What is something that you say is overrated?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I think Vegas? Man, Oh, I just say it's just listen, Okay.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
So I just recently had to do some work out
there and it was one of those things where I
had to admit I tried like that. I feel like
I felt like this my whole life, Like I tried
so hard and come so far, but in the end
it doesn't even doesn't know. I tried, Yeah, this soul
(18:01):
like all the hommies being like, oh, we gonna do
a Vegas trip. My sister, like my sister and her husband,
like my my my my mom has this like a
time share out there, and my sister and my brother
in law use it all the time they go, and
it's like we just go for the buffets, you know.
And I'm just like, I from the partyingist of party
years too. Maybe we're gonna go celebrate the Homies fortieth
(18:25):
or the Usher, the Wu Tang, you know, the Silk Sonic.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Like I'm just like, you know what, man, I just
don't like it here.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I just I just I just I don't.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I don't see it, y'all.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You can age out, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
And I was just like, man, I don't. And that's
what I was thinking. I was like, did I just
age out? But then I was like, I don't think
I ever really really fucked with it.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I don't think I ever really.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Fucked with it, man, Like I think again, it's the
backpacker in me. I was like, I need some real
you know, I don't know, man, it's just I'm good,
what good?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
What good art has come from Vegas? Are? They're good?
Seven O two?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
The R and B Group, Okay, they're dizzy, right the
rapper all right, I'm just coming seven oh two. Yeah,
that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's their area code I remember. Yeah. No, I'm not
I'm not gonna shop. I'm not gonna say Vegas is
a barren wasteland. No, not like that. I mean, it's like,
it's very interesting.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Uh once you get out of the strip, you know,
it's a regular ass city once you get out the strip,
you know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
But just man, I just feel like the like in
some ways, you can see it as a place where
great music goes to die, like musicians at the end
of their life or you know, they killed two part.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's like when a European soccer player comes to MLS, right,
it's like, oh, okay, so you finished with the main
with the main thing.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Now you're just like MVP seven years in a row.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, I think I did. I did used
to agree about the partying stuff, but then me and
my friends came up with this saying that whatever happen
in Vegas, stay in vas and like I was like, oh, nice,
you can crime here, you can feel bad about it.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
He's just cheat, That's basically said, just you go to
Vegas and cheat on our spouses.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
So funny, that's how it started, and that's what it
sounds like.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah exactly, I mean in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I don't know if I want to live like that,
Like you know what I'm saying. And here's the thing, bro,
you know it, don't it. Don't stay in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It turns out human beings are social creatures. They want
to say ship out loud.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That's just how they work.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
And you still you still fuck that other woman.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That still happened. I used to go to Vegas a
lot because I had a friend whose dad was a
big time gambler.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
So it would always be like this free trip to
be like, oh my dad's want Vegas. You want to
go to Vegas?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And I'm like, yeah, fuck it, and I'd be like seventeens,
but we just had to be up in it, yeah
and like eat good and then like you know, his
dad would break us up with some cash or whatever,
and then we were like, you know, try and buy
like a fucking Iceberg shirt or some ship. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I never had this kind of money anyway. So I've
really been interested in seeing like what's happening right now
because everyone, I mean, it seems to be that with
(21:08):
like the pandemic and a lot of people getting like checks,
a lot of people began to go to Vegas to
spend more money, and then like the casinos are like,
we can actually start charging people more. And then it
became more and more and more to the point where
now nobody's like, you're fucking kidding, I'm not gonna pay
this much money to stay here, when before that wasn't
(21:29):
the that wasn't the thing. That usually wasn't an obstacle
to come to Vegas, even pre pandemic. It was like
you can get a cheap hotel room and get a
cheap meal deal with cheap yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You will fly you here. Basically you give us your money.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Yeah, that's what I afford to give us your money.
They're like, well, no, it's all that was the Really
that was my last experience. I was like, man, I
you what, I the one saving grace was the fact
that like you're like a really good meal for cheap,
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
And I'm like that now that's gone, you could eat
fucking lobster tail for like five bucks. You're like, what
the fuck?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
This is great? Boy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
We checked into that hotel, it was like, all right,
here's your you know, you swipe for incidentals and then
they then they said something that I was like, I
almost slapped the ship out of this person. They said, okay,
here's your incidentals, and then here's your resort fee.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yea resort, man, What the hell is the resort feed?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
You get the fu something we don't have to put
in the price. That's actually pretty great for us. But
you're you're already here, so yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah, I'm paying the taxes that which okay, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But then there's the fee for the rest.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Then there's the fee for the fact that this is
a resort.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, you feel bad about that. You can get mad
at the service workers who are being paid by that.
We just like to split that out so that you
don't know about it until the last second. And then
also it's like this, yea takes money to keep all
these people employed. Yeah, I mean yeah, every city is
just suffering now, in particular like Vegas, I feel like
(23:02):
is a little like Disney in the sense that I've
always suspected, Like you go there, Disney, Yeah, yeah, Debutch Disney,
Like you see crimes that I'm like, how are they
not reporting?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's okay, like.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
There'll be there will be, like very evidently a homicide
or something the police are surrounding, and then you like
look for reporting on it. It's like, you don't know
what you're talking about. Man, what happens stays in Vegas?
You know, like that that's our police force model.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
That twenty five year old girl is seventeen. I don't
care what that is a child? There is everyone, Yeah,
that is a child.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Okay. The second I think, especially like for kids who
grew up near Vegas, that's like one of the first
scams you try and run.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
The second you get an.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
ID, you think son work. Like this was obviously for
millennials because now kids are like, what the you.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Want to you want to go drink alcohol?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah it was a different time, okay, Yeah, what are
you born in the nineteen hundreds?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah you smoke? You smoke weed, dude, What the fuck
come man? You can smoke it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Okay, But yeah, it was just a different, different time anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
But I do think that Vegas tried to do what
Disney did, like and found that the demand for Vegas
is a little bit more like Disney was just like,
We're just going to keep raising the prices and people
will keep coming. Yeah, and Vegas found out like that
that doesn't quite work. Their demand is a little bit
more inelastic.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
They were hoping because the X factor for Disney is children,
Like you have to do it for the children if
it's just for me, like you know what we did
the kids.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, it's like we know, you can sit and Jay
Brandy on any show. I can do that at home. Yeah, yeah,
I can do that at home.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You can also gamble online so I don't have to
be here.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yes, you can.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Ruin your you can ruin your life from the comfort
of your own.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Home, your toilet.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You can have an alcoholic beverage and gamble away your
life savings from your toilet. Yeah, all right, let's talk
about let's talk about shout out to Lucy. All right,
all right, So there's no Kings, there's no Kings demonstration
coming up, and the GOP is raising to turn this
(25:13):
into like full Antifa Olympics. Yeah, they're they're trying to
make people scared.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You know this is uh, the clock is ticking basically
on the Republicans trying to fully have like a vice
grip on dissent in this country, especially before the dubious
mid terms. And I will say dubious because this regime
seems to have no issues with lying at any cost.
So what would stop them? I mean, the Republican just
(25:41):
bought the voting systems that you know operate in over
twenty or twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Dominion they bought.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
And currently the Supreme Court is hearing a case that
would gut the Voting Rights Act basically and allow GOP
legislatures to redraw even more racist, fucking jerry mandering to
consolidate power. So you know, they at the nerve.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
It's just like it's one thing to be like racist
and evil, it's another thing to look me in the
face like I'm stupid. And I think that that's the
part that's been getting under my skin where I'm like, oh,
I'm a dumb ass, is what you think? Okay, you
hate me, but I'm also a dumb ass. They're like,
let's know what we're doing when they're black man, listen,
when they said we need to rethink these voting laws
(26:28):
and these jerremandering laws because they're based on race, and
that is unfair.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
And I'm like, sir, do you.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Want we don't based talking about they're based on race
because the first lines were based on race. So you
gotta make a law about the race because we're undoing
the race.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, I just I mean, what what about like
the thirteenth Amendment or the fourteenth amendents?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
We can't be tired of it?
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Well, well, so was slavery, sir. I don't understand why.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Yeah, I'm just like, oh so I'm stupid, right, and
I'm stupid when like you say, yeah, them saying I
think the one they're looking at now is the one
in Louisiana right where they're just like, hey man, we
got to redraw this district.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
It's too many black people in it, right, right, Yeah,
that's what's So you're just gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's going to have ramifications outside of the Louisiana because
that's what they'll use to then go yeah, because the
whole thing is about creating, like doing away with minority
representation at all costs and segregating legislatures as much as possible,
and this would basically completely take that out of our
laws and be like, no, go ahead. I mean like
(27:45):
they were tripping on we're interpreting this law completely differently.
But anyway, all that to say is this is all
part of everything we're seeing to try and drastically change
our perception of this country and the norms of it
and what it even means to protest. Because right now,
like Jack was saying, Saturday, no King's protests scheduled across
the country, but it's now a focal point for Republican propaganda.
(28:07):
They're currently on a mission to paint basically anyone or
anything that is not wearing a MAGA hat is some
kind of violent, paid protester that is hell bent on
destroying the nation. And this serves a few purposes. First,
it creates fear among their base, who may potentially come
out to counter protests, because all they're saying is like,
these people are trying to destroy our country.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
We need to stop it. We need to stop it.
You need to stop it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You need to go there and confront these people. Also,
and potentially they could have a flashpoint that they can
use to again, because all they're waiting for is to
smash the martial law button.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Second, shit gets off the act is yeah, fully just
go for it for the flimsiest flimsiest reason. Another reason,
it helps see the idea that people that are against
this regime are de facto criminals and therefore whatever retribution
or malignant form of justice they encounter is justified and deserved.
And also, third, it's a lie meant to convince their
(29:04):
base that everything is actually fine and that there is
nothing to protest and there's nothing to be concerned about.
It your neighbors who keep saying that shit is going
down the toilet and that your rights eventually will also
be impeded. They're paid liars by George Soros.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
They don't even believe that.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
They don't they're being paid by George Soros or robots.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It doesn't matter. It's like we can like beat them up.
It doesn't even matter. They're like robots. I mean, here's
just like, yeah, it's like Star Wars, you can like
funk with the dude. Shit can still be PG because
you're fucked up ship to droids.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So here's Mike Johnson, Okay, the Speaker of the House.
This is again him and his just outright lie about
like what is even happening when people are protesting this
current administration.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Also, just for people who can't see the clip, is
he is the guy behind him on an Apple box?
Or is Mike Johnson? Or is that Victor Webbing y'am
a behind him?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, I don't know. Let me see. Let's just let's
let's do that real quick. This is like the Mystery
Show where we go. How tall is Jake Jillenhall?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Mike, he says he's six foot two. Damn all right,
he's six took. They're saying that guy behind him, he says,
hooking tank. Someone said five to nine. I believe five
to nine, Yeah, five, Speaker of the House Mike.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Johns, Yeah, I don't believe six to two.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
No, not might be not the picture Mike Johnson. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
But anyway, all that to say, here he is again
just he's kicking off the propaganda festivities with this smear
that anyone who's protesting is some kind of American hating whatever.
Just listen to all the adjectives he uses.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Turn it back over the leader. Take some questions. But
we've heard, and many of you have reported already, this
hate America rally that they have coming up for October eighteenth.
Oh my god, the Antifa crowd and the pro Hamas
crowd and the Marxists, they're all going to gather on
the mall. We got some House Democrats selling T shirts
for this event. It is a it is an outrageous
gathering for outrageous purposes. But the Democrats and the Senate
(31:05):
have shown that they're afraid of that crowd, that they
don't want to bow, that they want to bow to them,
bow the need of them, and they don't want to
take incoming from them, and so they're willing to hold
the American people hostage so that they don't have to
face an angry mob of that's a big chunk of
their base.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
What a fucking projection, that is, what a fucking Oh
it's them that's afraid. Guy who is currently shutting down
the House to avoid confirming a Democrat who will help
release the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
M hmmm.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
I just again, you think I'm stupid, Like, yeah, no, exactly,
that's the It's just it gets under my skin so
much because it just with anybody, even just the cities
being like ravaged hellholes. I'm like, just by flight, yeah,
just go you could go, see, right, Okay, just go
(31:54):
just go, go go to the rally, just go see.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, they're like, man, you don't want to go to Portland,
wy seeing somebody in a fraud costume.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Do as little. You never seen a dance, You never
seen a naked dude on a bicycle.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Y'all, Like per Simmons, bro, Like, y'all want to hit
a farmer's market with me?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Right exactly? Oh you know, like artisanal jams.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yes, these are easily That's it's just so frustrating because
I'm like, this is easily.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Verify again, this is not for us.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
This is not for our consumption, because we live, we're
in the lived reality of being in these cities. This
is for the people who are far enough away to
then feel okay that whatever is happening to those people
is fine, because happen to those people in this place
that's been characterized as a war zone or burning fucking
hellhole or whatever. Yeah, here's Senator Roger Marshall going on too,
(32:41):
because they're all this is like their whole thing is
like it's like this hate America thing. They're all calling
it the Hate America Rally again, talking about how this
this this this is gonna get wild because they're all
paid protesters.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
And then October eighteenth is when the protest gets here.
This will be a sourels paid for protest for his
professional protesters show up, the agitators show up, we'll have
to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it'll be peaceful.
I doubt it as well. So I think that they
have to get that march done. They have to show
their protests. They have to fight. Like they're saying, here,
(33:12):
this is all a political show.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
They can't.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, they're like, nothing's wrong. Ignore all the people that
are saying Daddy's a bad man.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Do you know any paid protesters You ever met one?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Oh man?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, Like I remember meeting an astroturfing tea party person before, say,
I was like they take out at yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
If you are a community organizer that works for a nonprofit, hen.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You is ever fucking organize the day in their life
knows there's no fucking The only way I could look,
and I and I did a lot of organizing in
the past, is like you'd be like, hey, well there'll
be some coffee there. There's literally we'll have some plus
some donuts.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I know, coffe miles I don't know, it'll.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Be Young Donuts and some other cheap ship that another
vonn tiers are gonna bring. I don't know, but I
can say there'll be some water. We just have water
here for this much money. No, that's not what it is,
and that's not how That's not how real activism works.
The whole point is to align yourself with other people
that have the same belief system and yes, helping to
sort of build out a network of like minded people
(34:19):
so when something happens, you can then immediately call upon
your network and respond quickly to some kind of event. Now,
this thing that's happening is because there's people, for a
myriad of reasons that they're upset. There are going to
be people who are like, man, what the fuck is
going on in Palestine. They're also going to be laid
off federal workers who are like, I've been working here
for decades and you guys are fucking my life up.
(34:42):
There are so many reasons actually why people would be
upset and so like.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
For this to be actually authentic, you would have to
assume that people don't mind that people want healthcare and
I mean, like, really, in the end, is that really
what people care about, or or you just want to
see their neighbors beat.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Up, or you'd have to assume that when they go
to work that they get they paychecks. You'd have to
assume that people like getting paychecks for going to work.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And and how.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Again, like I feel like I hear my dad's voice,
like you think I'm stupid.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
My dad used to say.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
So when you say I think you do not want
to hear parents say yes, Oh I get it.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
So you think I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Oh so you think I'm stupid. So you're trying to
tell me.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
You're trying to tell me you have control of all
three branches of government and both houses, both parts of Congress,
but the Democrats is holding up the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
It's default.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
You tell me you got the power mother that you can't
can't Philip like we just did.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But you just wait, you just said something there, you
said like we just did.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, like that's a different time.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Okay, Oh my god, you're taking my words out of context.
It's just yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I mean, this helps for an audience of people who
don't know what it's like. And I think also you
have to be pretty insulated to also ignore the own
sort of your own existential threats that present themselves in
your life, like the cost of healthcare, the cost of electricity, now,
the cost of food. It's only it's a it's a
minority of people in this country who can be like, yeah, right,
(36:26):
electricity is more.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Oh yeah, eat that.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I got to pay it, so I don't even check. Yeah, okay,
twenty five bucks for an apple? All right, fine, I
don't really like apple. I'll get to next time. Monty.
People are actually feel that pressure. I think that's a weird.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Again.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I think this is why they're trying to really energetically
paint all of this displeasure, to put it lightly with
what's happening as manufactured, synthetic, artificial outrage because in fact,
everything is going okay. And to please ignore any noises
you hear to the contrary, because that's fake and being
paid for by George.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
So where's the where's the gene in the audience that
it just it feels so natural to me when somebody
says a statement that just kind of feels out landish
for me to go humh on A way they got
that and then as simply as you just did right now,
we was like, man, Mike Johnson looks kind of short
(37:26):
right there. I wonder how tall he is. So when
you say, to YO, when someone says, oh, this is
a Marxist George Soros paid, I'd go, humh is.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
George Soros paid for a protest? Click click click click
click click and be like, seems like that's not true.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Well, it's actually the Soros Foundation is. It's a philanthropic
It's a philanthropic group that then gives money to other
groups that then therefore.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
It's like, I got that's interesting. Let me look that up.
I just don't understand why you can't just be like wow.
I feel like any any one of y'all would say
something to me that felt a little out of pocket.
I love y'all dearly, but I would be like, wow,
where they got and it would.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Just like that's crazy. Even Jack didn't believe was dubious.
When I said Jason Lee was stan Lee's son. He
was like really what yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
And I was like, and I fucked to him. I
said yeah, and then I was like, no, you're right, Yeah,
you're right. You like, I mean, believe that nepotism is
a thing, and that's crazy with me.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
I just don't know where your antennas are. That's at
the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
It does feel like the hate America movement is the
same is being fueled by the same outrage that caused
things that people that people were like, this came out
of nowhere, the occupy movement, Bernie doing well, then fucking
Trump doing well, then Zorn doing well, like all these
you know things that people were like where you know,
(38:53):
where where is this coming from? And you know they're
obviously fueled by fucking inequality and people are like that
they are just since all of these things started happening,
they're just like pushing the accelerator further and further down
on the thing that everyone's responding to. And I think
(39:16):
you're right that like, oh so you think I'm stupid
is probably like I think that's going to be more
and more of the national sentiment, like as they try
to just be like if you're protesting, you hate America,
as people are like feeling pain, like I do, I
don't think that's like a good strategy going for like
(39:37):
as you know, as surprising as like some of his
popularity has been in the past, Like I do think
the fact that everything that he's doing is you know,
accelerating the problem that drove him to popularity in the
first place, and then he's weaponizing and like beating the
shit out of people who are like, we still don't
(39:59):
like this. I think like I do think despite like
some of the you know, wild shit, like I do
think generally, on balance, people are smarter than the mainstream
media gives them credit for, and they are not going
to fall for the I think they hate American movement.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
The media, politicians, they're all kind of like, oh wait,
well I used to be able to do this and
everybody got in line and that's not working anymore. And
I think also too, that's where you see the similarity
with Democrats and Republicans. They both don't want to cop
to the fact that this country could be doing so
much better, but they're coming from their both they're just
coming at it from different angles. One is just like, no,
(40:39):
I mean, we just need to get back to normal,
and the other is like, no, everything's great. You need
to shut the fuck up. And if you say, someone
beat the shit out of you not a winning strategy.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
But we could obviously talk about this for hours, but
what America need to take a quick break and come
back and check in with the DMV that issues your
man card. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll
be right back, and we're back and turning point. USA
(41:15):
has announced that as an alternative to the Bad Bunny
halftime show, they will be putting on the All American
Halftime Show at the super Bowl. You know, one of
those super Bowl halftime shows that doesn't happen at the
super Bowl and caters exclusively to white supremacists.
Speaker 7 (41:33):
It's like when the like, your school has a prom
and they're like, don't go out drinking afterwards. We're gonna
do a lock in where everybody can sleep in the
gym together safely, not touching. You're like, I'm gonna go
fuck my girlfriend and marijuana.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Like in the boiler room or something. You're not gonna
stop me, Nerds.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
They announced this before booking any actual acts. What you do?
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Yeah, so you reactionary group like this, and their whole
energy is giving off not just that they don't have
experience putting on halftime shows, but that they just found
out what music is because they have.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
They announced it. They issued a survey to their users
saying what music genres would you like to see featured
select all that apply Americana, classic rock, country, hip hop, pop, worship,
anything in English.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
It's like, dude, American are going to a Caruso shopping
center in Glendale.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
What America just like land as your land? This land
is no.
Speaker 7 (42:42):
Americana is actually like a subgenre of country that is
largely based in singer and songwriter music that takes to
be a little twangy Okay, it doesn't necessarily have like
overt like country stuff. So I'm trying to think of
like an Americana artist that you would kind of know.
I mean, Sierra Ferrell is kind of Americana. It's sort
(43:04):
of sa, yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
You wish, you wish. He has a lot of a lot.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Of those like you're saying. It's like it's so sonically
sounds like country, like with like slide guitar, like lap
guitar kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (43:20):
Can but not necessarily Okay, So it's kind of.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Like more singer songwriter, what is it not singer songwriter?
Speaker 7 (43:27):
More acoustic. It could have all of those things, but
it's not necessarily going to be like two chords in the.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Truth, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (43:35):
When you think of like that country, you know, but
it can. It can involve elements of of all of
those things. And usually when they when an artist is
kind of buttonholed as Americana, it usually means that like
they are playing like there's usually gonna be sort of
like a banjo, a guitar. That is that kind of aesthetic. Yeah,
(43:58):
that it's it's you know, very singer song already is
the best the best kind of way I can kind
of describe it. So it is an actual job, it
has an actual.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Learning and that's what Turning Point USA is after. In
the end, so a lot of right wingers were fooled
by a fake poster for the event that was like
boasting the poster, says Turning Point USA. Kid Rock America's
halftime show, Ted Nugent, Travis Tritt, Jason Aldeen, Aaron Lewis
of Stained, John rich Stee Greenwood Forgiato Blow, featuring a
(44:32):
guest appearance from Measles. I didn't read to the end.
A bunch of people were like, damn, look how fast
they put this amazing lineup together. This is going to
be incredible. Everyone was like sharing it and like Alex
Jones's Guy Owen Schroyer was like talking about how impressive
(44:52):
it was that the conservative organization impacked in so much
talent in such a tight time frame. And he was
also like, also, isn't this show twenty minutes? How the
fuck are you gonna use all those people anyway? Figure out?
How are you gonna get a fucking guest appearance from
measles too? But okay, god.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
And also the second you look at it, like this
is ai slot like the graphics and me, I'm come,
I mean whatever, they're not not that they're.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Listening, but they spelled us a correctly. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (45:20):
Yeah for someone of those in the South, this looks
like a very professional This is a very professional poster.
I'm telling you himself probably woke up and was like, fuck,
I got drunk last night. What I say yes to?
It's got an eagle on a and a beer. I
must sounds legit. I'll be there. I will be there.
Good I will be there.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Good luck to them, you know what I mean. Nobody's
gonna watch that ship, and they know people are gonna
I mean, we'll watch clips, listen people capture it and
talk about it. But I'm I mean I barely watch
the super Bowl as it is.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
But maybe I.
Speaker 7 (45:52):
Never watch it. I mean, I will be tuning in
absolutely for bad Money because I'm telling you what, uh,
we need to have more dongflap on TV. And as
long as that man is doing that dance and you
know what I'm talking about, if your algorithm looks anything
like mine, that's all I want. That's all I want
for America is just that's just it. I just I
need to just flap it.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (46:14):
I want to see him walk that dinosaur across the stage.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
That's all I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
I want.
Speaker 7 (46:17):
I want him to re record that song but was
not was with bad Bunny, just walking the dinosaur. That's
all I want is just a super edit of just
Dong flapping Bunny with that in the background. That's all
I want.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
That's what I will say. Maybe that will change America's minds,
hearts and mind. That would be if it was just
like a bunch of shaking around, Oh my god, just
America and trying to kill the people who were.
Speaker 7 (46:46):
Yes, yes, yes, it'll be me and John Hamm at
home just happy at ship like hell yeah, just.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Like hey man, I had to open that door for
people to bust it open.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
And then it just does that like zoom pool thing
from Hitchcock movies, like The Jaws, where it seems like
the background is going away as you're getting closer to it,
and then it's just that for forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Somehow you get that Dolly zoom.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Dolly zoom is the word. Thank you, Miles, all right,
hey dolls. You to the world of film was recently
reported that a woman in her six sixties tragically died
on Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride. The cause of death is
yet to be revealed, but this does fly in the
face of a long term urban legend that people are
not allowed to die. No one dies of Disneyland other
(47:38):
than the souls of exhausted parents, because the people of
disney will immediately risk anyone in need of medical help
away so that they can be declared dead in some
hospital and not in the happiest place on earth, because
that would be a bummer. So obviously legend's not true.
Even before the Haunted Mansion incident, there have been many
(47:59):
documented deaths at Disneyland, including a plane crash in the
Epcot parking lot in nineteen eighty. Yeah, I feel like
that would have been hard for them to just be like.
Speaker 7 (48:07):
Yeah, you can't whisk that away, right, You can't just
be like no, no, no, no. That was that was that
was That was a ride elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
And as we've covered on the show last year, Doctor
suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a Disney World restaurant
despite having told the restaurant that they you know, allegedly
did telling the restaurant that they had a food allergy,
and when in the wrongful death lawsuit, Disney attempted to
wriggle out of that by citing Disney Plus's terms and
(48:35):
conditions and be like, sorry, you this term in condition
from Disney Plus that says we're allowed to kill you.
So this is seems like a straightforward, like debunking story,
and then our writer JM is like, seemingly these rumors
stem from the first ever homicide that occurred in the
park in nineteen eighty one. A woman was pinched at
(48:57):
a private party, leading her boyfriend to attack the guy
he thought did it and ended up stabbing him. At
the Submarine Voyage Voyage ride, security found the guy bleeding
to death, but instead of calling nine one one, they
threw him in a Disneyland van with no siren and
drove him to a hospital and Garden Grove, even though
(49:19):
two trauma centers, which were better equipped to handle a stabbing,
were missed, and everybody was like, what the fuck did
you do that for? And I like, I think basically
they found that it was because they were worried that
paramedics would spoil the magic of other guests. So it's
(49:39):
it is. It did start with basically what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yeah, I mean I would ask for a refund the
way I would ask for a refund immediately because it's
already so expensive. I'm like, I saw somebody fall down.
I need a refund. Man, I can't deal with this.
The fucking magic has been ruined. Man.
Speaker 7 (49:55):
Oh, especially if we saw somebody get stabbed. You're like, uh,
submarine voyage, I did not No included shaking.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
They're like, well, we're glad that you've enjoyed our evening
of entertainment, but we have to get Captain Jack Sparrow
out of here.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Sorry yeah, sorry, yeah, giving new meaning to the phrase
stuck in line the fun.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Watch out now. The family of the victim filed a
wrongful death suit against Disney for sixty million dollars. They
won the case but only got six hundred thousand dollars
for some reason. Anyways, the fuck that is?
Speaker 7 (50:32):
So, that's a that's a that's a very wild disparaging
between sixty million and six hundred k, that's all. That's
a huge difference.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
It's called a bit of a discount, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
We threw some sweeteners and we said they can go
to Club thirty three next time they come back to
the murder scene, right, yeah. You guys rushed to.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
The scene and found Yorba bleeding to death. According to
media reports, Yorba may have been bleeding for as long
as twenty minutes before a consequential decision was made. Instead
of calling nine one one, you ever, was picked up
and put into a Disneyland van accompanied by two security
guards and the nurse. The nurse without light, sirens, or
even life saving it was just daffy Duck in a
nurse costume, without even life saving equipment. The van drove
(51:14):
through city streets to a hospital and Garden Grove, two
trauma centers which were better equipped to handle the stabbing.
We're missed.
Speaker 7 (51:20):
See I wonder if this, though, is like related to race.
Do you know what I'm saying, Like we're talking eighties,
We're talking Orange County, We're talking you know, there was
a lot of prominent gang activity going around. You know,
you guys remember.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Movie colors, Colors colors. I feel like Disneyland.
Speaker 7 (51:38):
It was in Disneyland.
Speaker 6 (51:40):
You know.
Speaker 7 (51:41):
It's actually based on historic beef between Donald Duck and
Daffy Duck, who I know are from different universes. But
that's what I'm talking about. White Duck, black Duck. You
know what I'm saying. Absolutely, But no, I wonder about
that right where they're like, no, we can't have gang activity,
campsbody bleeding, we can't have a violent death. But they're
like chokings, No right, uh, old lady has a heart attack,
(52:03):
all right, but all right, I mean nobody violence.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
That make it seem a little spooky, As they noted
in their press release about the event, No they didn't this. Yeah,
this is so it's so grim.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
But again, it's like this makes so much sense too
that they're like, I don't give a fuck about this person.
I'm talking about my business full Like I can't have
people fucking expiring on the and knowing.
Speaker 1 (52:30):
About that ship.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
Put disappear this person into a van and deal with
it off site the American way.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (52:39):
Make it go away, Make it go away, make it
go away. Dang damn.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
All right, that's gonna do it. For this week's Weekly Zeitgeist,
Please like and review the show. If you like the show,
Uh means the world to Miles. He he needs your validation. Folks.
