Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah, So,
without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. What is
(00:25):
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I did search for grind set because I wanted to
know what it meant at last, at long last.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Right, you've been out of the country too long, Katie.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yeah, it means a grinding mindset, so.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Like, thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So it's because the grind rhymes with mind and so
you can turn it into a grind set because like
when I was I had like I kind of understood
the concept of its like you know, hustling or whatever,
but I was like grind set thinking of.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Like a gym set or something, or like you have.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
A like a T set to grind, like a salt
and pepper shaker, and they're both the grinders on.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Them exactly, Like like, yeah, I have a I'm a nice.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Pair of of grind sets because I have a grind
set because I have a salt finger. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's well, they both grind because it's the it's
the whole peppers and the sea salts I've got. They
both grind the seasonings out. So I have a grind set.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
But no, I did.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I did learn it's a it's it's a mind it's
a portmanteau of grinding and mind set.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So that's that's informative, and it does help me understand
sort of helps you understand the philosophy behind it, right,
because it's also like you don't have time for saying
two words like a grinding mindset just.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Because you're fucking grizzy.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay, I'm so excited to see what this knowledge does
for you because I've been saying Katie.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, we've been saying this, We were saying this before the.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Show on her grind set a little bit. If she
just like kind of understood the grinds mindset, like if
she was just waking up at four in the morning
to work out with Mark Wahlberg and the Lord, like,
I feel like we'd be seeing like at fucking hockey sticks.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Exactly what I said was Katie, Okay, obviously a baller.
Plus Italy the home of the fucking Lambeau. I'm like, Okay,
So we're going to see her hop out of the
fucking evented or no time. But then we say why
no Lambeau light bulb moment, and we tried, and we
impressed this upon you as Tony, uh, what's this?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What's that guy's name?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Tony Robin says, I don't mean to impress you, but
impress upon you that you need to get on your
fucking grizzly Adams so you can finally hop in Lambeau
and and we can around.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Wait in all, seriously, when did you when did you go?
All right, I'll by what's this grind set? I'm gonna
I don't know what anyone's talking about anymore.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
It's just like, you know, I should this is the day.
This is the day I should learn what this is?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, you know, and watch out world, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Ye, what is Caitlin? Something you think is underrated?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
I think magic shows we're just magic in general going.
And this might be because I just watched rewatched The
Prestige for many years, having not seen it for a while,
but I was like, yeah, magic is cool, and a
lot of people think that it isn't, but I'm here
(03:47):
to say that it is.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Hell yeah mm hmmm, I think it's beautiful. Wait, people,
people don't.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
People think that magic is for dorgs and that magicians
are dorks and that it's all dork shit.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But wait, you think get I get furious anytime I've
been tricked.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, that's true. Like you think I'm a fool. Yeah,
he's banned from the Magic Castle because he was at
a close up magic show and he fucking duffed out
the person who I.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Keep grabbing their arms and like looking up their sleeves.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
What'shole? They're like what I said, pick a card?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I went to the Magic Castle once. I'll never trust
anyone again.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
I wonder do you think it's like if you have
a inability to accept you don't know about something you
don't like magic?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think it's so funny the idea of people just
like can't get over themselves enough to enjoy magic. I
love magic so much. I love I love saying it.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I love Yeah, there's nothing more fun than being like,
what the fall?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I know that's the whole point of it, because you
don't get to have moments like that really ever.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So yeah, let your guard down to let a fucking magician. Wow,
you Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
But also like aside from the Magic Castle in La
and maybe like a couple other venues here and there,
like magic shows just aren't as they need to be
on every corner.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
There needs to be a magic more.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, we need to have magicians like the fifties had
due up groups just doing magic on every corner around
a burning trash campfire.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
I'm saying, yeah, more magic.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's like not a mainstream enough, like it is a
mainstream pleasure, Like everybody gets so much pleasure.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It is so fun.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
If it was the last time you were like, hey,
what'd you do last night and someone said, oh, I
went to a magic show, it never happens.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Never.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's like a children's birthday party thing that's like outmoded.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Oh my friend recently for his wife's birthday hired up
a close up magician to do it like a little show.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
This guy was fuck.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
He was doing shit where like the card you signed
was inside a fucking orange across the shit like that
love that shit. We were all fucking screaming and I
think almost annoying the magician because we were so fucking
and he's like, all right, we were.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Grabbing him we were grabbing him and he would do
like Michael, no, my god.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
He was shaking him by the lapels like rabbits are
falling out of his coat, and shit.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
He was not used to this. When he turned up,
people just be like, Yo, you fucking did it, bro.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Have I told the story on here when I was
like at a like a really nice kid's birthday party
and they had a magician slash mentalist and I got
pulled up to the front and he was doing this
thing where I closed my eyes and he was like, okay,
he's under my spell now. And then he told me
(06:36):
that like when I feel a tap on one side
of my body, I raised my hand, and if I
feel a tap on the other shoulder, I raised that hand.
And then so I've got my eyes closed, he taps
me on the shoulder. I raised my hand and like
there's a gasp in the crowd, and then he taps
my other shoulder and I raised my hand. Everyone's like
what the fuck? And then he's like doing it like
(06:57):
my arms are like going up and down like because
I'm just feeling the tap. And I opened my eyes
and like he's like, all right, give it up for
Jack and like, what the fuck just happened? I go
back there, like he wasn't anywhere close to you when
when you were like raising your hands, he was like
standing a foot behind you, just like raising your hand
like with and they were like what did he tell you?
(07:18):
Like were you in? Like nobody could believe that. I
was like in on it.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
This is that same party where your wife left you after.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
You looked like a fucking fool hold your little dick
out in front of everybody and jerked it off, shut out.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I think you should leave.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So I think it's a thing where he is actually
behind me, like tapping me with his off hand, but
like people are only looking at his hand that's doing
the business of like yeah, yeah, so he's just really.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
He was nowhere near you.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's what everybody said, that he was like a foot
behind me or something. But he must have like my
wife took my wife's took a video.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We need to see that zapruder film now.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I know my wife took a video, And I was like,
oh I can I think I can see how he
was like he would tap me and because it's because
like he spotted me as like a slow witted person.
So He's like this person will take a little while
to like raise their arm after I tap them and lollipop.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, so I think he like taps me, stands back
and then raises his hand with my hand, you know.
And because there's like a little bit of a delay
in between me feeling him tap and then me raising
my hand, he like it looks like he's just standing
back and.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Like Jack, maybe you know this is the problem was.
It was like I was just saying this that like
because we have cell phones, like we don't do ship,
like we don't fuck with stuff within our hands anymore,
like as an activity like of like yo yo ing,
or like a deck of cards like I think of
there were kids who would just have decks of cards.
(09:01):
They would just manipulate the deck one handed, like as
like their fidget spinner at school, or like just these
other things.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And I feel like we're losing that gateway.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeahs had been a pen on my finger. I can't
really do it anywhere, but yeah, I bet you were
good at that, Miles little pens. Yeah, there you go,
switch watch it. I just did it and flew out
of his hands.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I was talking.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I was talking to a friend of mine who works
in a like dental department at a university, and she
was saying that they're having to add a different element
of training to young like dental students because they're so
bad with their hands and fingers don't have any they
don't have any dexterity, so they're just like mashing people's
(09:46):
teeth with their like big dumb hands.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Jesus, bring the magic back to schools.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
We need to bring the magic back.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
We really do. One time in college I went to
a bar and there were there was a mentalist and
a magician and they were just like doing like little
tricks at the bar. And again a lot of people
would have been like, who are these freaking nerds? I
should shove them into a locker, But I went.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Up to them.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
I was talking to them, and then I sort of
to neither of them in particular. I was just like,
do you want to go on a date? And then
they both showed up to the date, no specify, and
I didn't even know who I wanted to go on,
and I but I was like, I think I do
want to go on a date with both of you.
At the same time.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Did you make them do like a Magic Battle.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
They weren't battling each other. They were collaborating, right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So do they show up to dates together on like,
are they a team when it comes to dating?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
I'm not really sure. I don't I was.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It awkward when they both showed up or were they
like finishing each other's sentences each other's day?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Both of us?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
It was right, And I mean also, I didn't specify.
I was just sort of like, hey, you too, maybe
do you want to go to it? And then they yeah,
And so it was actually kind of the thickest thing
I've ever done.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That is really cool. I'm kind of in awe of you.
Did the date go well?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Fine?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
I realized by the end that I wasn't really romantically
interested in either of them.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
But I was intellectually, Yeah, I did in both of.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Them, of course, of course, as you should.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
What is uh, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Okay I didn't hear. I didn't see it in the
stories we're going to cover. So I have to say
Campbell's soup, Yeah, a big piece of news.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Did you guys? We covered it yesterday? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (11:40):
We covered it on every day damn much.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, one of our nine episodes yesterday we did record three.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I've always felt it to be overrated, and I am
one of the fat poors. He mentioned, I grew up
eating it, and it's like.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
There's not even a comfort to it in the way
that like a pack of blue ramen is still comforting.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
And I stick, do you know what I mean? It's
like always been disgusting. Like and also why am I cooking?
Like the whole point, why do I have to add
water to this? Like we already decided.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
If I'm gonna buy a can of soup, it's because
I don't want to cook soup.
Speaker 10 (12:25):
Don't make me put an ingredient in it.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
One place he was completely on the money was when
he described the chicken as seeming as though it were
three D printed.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
He's very funny.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I mean, he's gonna if if it's like not too
late to add anyone to Trump's cabinet, he would be a.
Speaker 10 (12:50):
Shoe in.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
A Department of Defense and Healthcare. He's like, it's like
nine positions and he's.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
He's the FDA.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Now he's he does see it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I mean, he seems like could be a perfect fit
in that. I feel like a lot of the people
like Rudy Giuliani became a perfect fit for his cabinet
when he just was like what if I stayed drunk
all day? And like this rant definitely feels like somebody
who was just hammered, Like nobody has that much stamina
to be like and another thing for an hour long
(13:24):
zoom call where everyone else is like video off and
he's still going.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
It's like the backstage at the comedy store when like
people have been doing cocaine for too long or whatever.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
You want to go home, but it won't stop.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
It could have been cocaine actually, because he is he
was in the c suite of Campbell's. Campbell's was like, uh,
he was like some tech guy and it's like no,
he was a chief technology security whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Like he he's in this c suite. He's like one
of your main dudes. And and a.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Lot like Rudy Giuliani. He seems red wine drunk, which
is a special.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Kind special Yeah, like that.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Drunk, you know what I mean, a jug of not
even good red wine, Like it's just a different kind
of alcoholic.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
Like they they're very emotional.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Yeah, dewey eyed and slow kind of.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
That's right, Yeah, and like rosy. But you know, just yeah,
dark teeth.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Man, the teeth they need another hug, stained teeth, needing
a hug for a hug.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
Yeah, they're listening to a lot of opera.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Yeah, pretentious, they're pretentious alcoholics.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, we did.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We did take a look into not just that rant,
but also just their history and there's there's a lot
of ship that.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
They were like dumping toxic waste into Lake Eerie for
a number of years.
Speaker 11 (14:55):
That's why if you swim in it, it tastes like
it tastes like chicken noodle.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
They were like, fine, we did it nine hundred times
over the course of like three years. So they were
doing it three times a day, dumping toxic waste into
Lake Erie, and it like contributed to an algae bloom
that made the entire city of I think it was
Toledo have to turn off their water for four days.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
How are they going to make the soup?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Exactly? Thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Can I say something about those chicken noodle noodles too,
because there's nothing like it. They don't exist anywhere else.
Because they could just use a short, small noodle like
a shell or macaroni or whatever, but instead they're chopping spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Or chopping yeah, chopped spaghetti.
Speaker 10 (15:42):
It's like little pieces of noodle chunks.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But the least aldente pasta has ever been.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
Yeah, it tastes like it has the flu.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Yes, it's like latinous.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It is so fucked up.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
The substance of that is like the fact that that
was the first pasta that I probably ever ate.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Is.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, that spaghettiosus are delicious. If that guy goes off,
I don't know what I'm going to do. He was
in charge of mister If mister Boyardy lose.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
Is it a jug of wine?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
That's right, doctor Boyard.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I think I think he got his PhD in spaghettios
with Pepper.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Old Friends.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, it's a very good point about the ramen too,
Like that that has totally supplanted any at home soup option.
Like if you're gonna you have to add water to
that one too, But like if if we're adding water,
might as well make it fucking awesome.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I mean, I am cooking that one. I'm adding proccoli.
I'm a shit onions.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Oh so much better than Campbell's to say. In the
first fifteen years of my comedy career, like I owed
all ramen.
Speaker 10 (16:55):
Baby, Yeah, what's your color?
Speaker 11 (16:58):
Uh dude, Well, I do the I don't think we
should call it oriental, but that's what I did.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
That's what it's called.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Yeah, that's that's what it was.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
Yeah, the blue one.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'm chicken just because that's what we had in my
dorm when I was like in high school, and yeah,
it was I've never given up on the chicken.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
Is the saltiest.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, really, eat one of those freaks in your life.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
That's like I only use half the packet, you know,
like I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You just want to get out of here.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Yeah, I'm too busy exercising. You're like relaxed. I like
how you define it by color. I'm going to start
doing that.
Speaker 10 (17:37):
Yeah, that's kind of love to say oriental like you.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
Yeah, I'm on the edge of my scene. I have
a gong that I hit like Jackie chan't enters Rush
Hour of seeds.
Speaker 10 (17:50):
As does anybody eat the beef one? I don't.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I think beef is like like maga, I mean it is.
Speaker 10 (17:57):
I just I've never met anyone that defaulted.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The prefers red dude.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
Yeah, anything that, anything, any thing that's be flavored makes
me want to retire, like that's yeah, yeah, that's so good. Yeah,
being alive, I don't want to be around anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back to talk about the slowest news day of
the year.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And we're back. We're back, and uh.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Fox News was hyping it like it was a UFC
fight dubbed Showdown with Socialism. I don't know if they
got like a tip from inside that Trump was like,
he's gonna fucking bite his head off, dude, Dude, he
wrapped his.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Hands and broken glass. It's fucking nuts what he's doing.
He's been training with Bolo Young from the martial arts films.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
The bad guy in Blood Sport for to get fucking
ready for this.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yes, so stupid showed the ponytail that he put on
top of it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
He whipps herround, puts a clip in ponytail in the back.
He's like, I'm ready, bring him in, bring him in.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
But yeah, so Fox News uh was being previewed as
the Showdown with Socialism, and it was that like kind
of summed up by a you know, photograph that everybody
saw with mom Donnie not surprisingly smiling and Donald Trump
looking back at him with the biggest fucking smile on
(19:34):
his face. Dude, it looks like when I like met
Jonathan key Hoy kwan aka Data aka short Round aka
Academy Award winner, Like when I was a kid, I
looked up to him so much. There's a I gotta
find it. I met him and I'm like, ah, whowee,
that is the excitement looking up at him.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's so funny. People are like, bro, he doesn't even
have pictures with Baron looking like this.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
No, yeah, this is the happiest I've ever seen him. Look,
it doesn't I don't know. Did he just find out
what socialism means and he's like, oh, pretty reachy. I
mean a lot of people at this point is like
Trump can't, like if he can't say shit about a winner,
like to the point where like he has to like
bow down to winners like it doesn't even matter.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And in this one he's just like, yeah, he's great.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
The shit he was saying is unbelievable. Like how like
suddenly he went from.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Like we're gonna have to look into this guy, he's
a low life communist.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
To being like, h we will not be threatening funding
at all to New York City. Yeah, this guy's great.
And actually Trump was like saying, I think he's gonna
actually cont surprise a lot of conservatives about what he's
gonna do.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Liberals already like him, and Trump said I'm totally comfortable
being in New York if he's the mayor. Like just
completely upended all their rhetoric around this shit.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Trump suggested that mom, Donnie is going to be a
quote really great mayor, claimed that we agree on a
lot more than I would have fought because I don't
I don't read or like do anything, and told him
to go ahead and call him a fascist in response
to a reporter's question because it's easier, and they gave
him like a playful arm.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Pat it was hold on, we have this clip.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Yeah, this clip is absolutely because again the media, they
were asking all kinds of questions to both of them
to be like you said he was a bitch, and
you said he was a g hottist or like you know,
like or people in your party believe that, what do
you think he's like, No.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
He's actually I fucked with him heavy. Actually it was
basically what he was saying.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
But yeah, this is a really wild one too, where
they tried to get Momdani like caught up, like you
called this dude accurate?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
Are you trumps a fascist?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
I've spoken about Okay, it's easier than explaining it pedal, but.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I don't mind. It's a bad ahead, go ahead. It's
easier than just like his.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Grand like talking to your grandchild. It's like, do you
think your grandpa's a raised It's like, it's okay, honey,
it's you can let each other. We have our relationship.
You can say that.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's easier. I love you. It's okay, baby. Yeah. Every
every quote was so glowing out.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yes, it does raise the queste because you know, I
feel like since his first administration, we've like people take
what he says seriously because he's the president.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
I really feel like it's it's like his moods are
just wild and swing based on like if he's in
a good like adderall pocket or not, you know what
I mean? Yeah, And like this was early the sun
was out, go get those early. And also too, he
doesn't he has no memory of what he said before
(22:57):
about a thing, right, like whatever it is, you're just
getting his instant reaction to whatever they're like is being
asked of him. And in this case, he had a
good meeting with Mom Donnie, who is like personable, he's affable,
he knows how to talk to people, so of course
he's gonna like he found a way to describe what
his vision was, and Trump said, I think it's great.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
He wants to make it safe. I want it to
be safe. I want it to be affordable. I like
New York. He likes New York. That's good.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Like h It was like he was just like Mom
Donnie went in with like a handful of talking points
that were just like hey, we both like New York.
And he was just like, wow, that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And then like Trump posted, so he posted all these
pictures of them together.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Yeah, like from his account, he's like, here I am
with this cool young guy from New York, isn't he cool?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Folks?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Again, people were like, you don't even post your fucking kids.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Meanwhile, Laura Lumer not not quite as far. The people
on the right were like, you know, came in expecting
to see like an UFC knockout, and staid saw like
just a cuddle fust Yeah, Laura Lumer said, not condemning
Trump disclaimer, However, I think we can all agree it's
a bad look to let a foreign board Attis, who
(24:19):
said he wants to implement anti white policies like taxing
white people more money, to stand behind the desk in
the Oval Office and repeatedly wrote the phrase what are
we doing? I'm stunned throughout. I had to drink a
bottle of ginger ale today after seeing Mam Donnie in
the Oval Office because it physically nauseates me seeing Islamic
jihadis and infiltrate our government. Yeah, the Democrats posted on it,
(24:44):
despite despite having passed a House resolution condemning socialism. They
were they were willing to post a meme photo with
like mum Donnie extra Trump and as like the strong dog.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah yeah, Chad and little Baby couldn't absolutely couldn't stand
up to it.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I mean yeah, I think a lot of people are like,
what's he doing with Trump? I'm like, dude, he's working them.
I don't know, I don't know. I mean, like, obviously,
I think you're there.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
What what he'll be able to achieve versus what he
campaigned on, or of two different things? Because he doesn't
have absolute power as mayor, but you know, it is
wild to just he went in there and turned a
guy who said we might have to deport his ass.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, to you get whatever money you need, babe, call
me a fascist, babe. I love babe. Kind of cute.
He's kind of cute, babe.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
And honestly, I would love to live in mom Donnie's
in New York is essentially what he was saying. So it's, yeah,
that really fucked up all the people who were, you know,
hoping that the maga Islamophobia would he would keep that
same energy, but he didn't.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's he's he's unreliable, I might say. There there were
some great images of Trump dressing legs or on after
the meeting, and like it was like Zoran and a
kind of maroon turtleneck with a black right, right, and
then Trump in like a scarf with a black blazer
(26:09):
and people are like, damn, he's even like trying to
copy his swag. But those were fake. Those were slap.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I think the thing that wasn't ai slop that was
the most jarring was just seeing their interaction there.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
And also it's okay, babe, you can say what you want.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Underscores to not only like disoniality, but the cowardice. You know,
Donald Trump, he only keeps that same energy for unfortunately
women or women of color. That's the only time he's like,
he really fucking acts like he's like, he's like, oh yeah,
what about this this guy like this guy calls you
a fashion He said, Okay, babe.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You can say it. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I actually think it's cute when he says it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Oh so you don't have that same energy from the
Twitter posts?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Okay, okay, I actually can't remember.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
It's wet energy, babe. It's always love, babe, no smoke, babe.
Never wanted it.
Speaker 8 (26:57):
He does.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Speaking of Trump and Twitter posts, he is still posting
a lot of like alarming shit that suggests that he
wants to murder the people who said that.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
I just think seditious crimes should be punishable by death's right,
and I throw them of that.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Do whatever you want with that information.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Yeah, I mean again, he's still feeling the sting of
lawmakers reminding the troops about the Constitution because I think it.
Those are the moments when he has to be like
I'm the bad I'm like, no, surely not. Now let
me now, let me retreat to my the soothing, calm
waters of AI boomer slot memes with me starring Donald Trump,
(27:44):
and he's posting shit like he's got like a this
AI pick of like him with an American flag cape
on with like the New York City skyline, but the
letters don't make sense.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It says, remember your oath. Okay.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Then there's another one with red lightning like he's a
fucking like Emperor Palpatine or some sith lord, like red
lightning hitting him. It's his duet que on his shoulder
of his jacket, and it says, time.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
To obliterate the deep State. Yeah, And you're like, oh,
y'all that he might they might state like they might
self obliterate.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Right.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
The whole Q thing is kind of a weird thing
to be invoking the same week that it was revealed
that you're all over the Epstein files and all over
the Epstein emails because.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It's not him.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
They're like, no, no, no, no, no, his energies around it,
because he's going to upend the pedophile, evil cabals that
exist among Democrats. And then there's another one with a
guy Fox mask and said, nothing can stop what's coming.
But it's a guy Fox mask, like as if he's
taking off the guy Fox mask, but he's wearing a
guy This guy Fox mask.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Stupid because it's aid sense.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
You're like, what are you saying that It's still it
was Trump's fist underneath, but instead it was guy Fox
taking off his guy Fox mask. Yepal Fox, it is
me Guy Fox mask. So there we are.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Meanwhile, none of the targeted lawmakers are backing down.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
They're like, he's just trying to intimidate us, and you
know whatever, We're not intimidated because guess what, It's in
the fucking constitution. You're supposed to disobey an illegal order.
That's like the whole fucking point here. And Republicans they're
split on how to respond. You have people who are
like clearly trying to differentiate from MAGA, like the Rand
Paul's who are like, look, I'm just an idiot, I'm
(29:40):
not MAGA. He's like, I think it's reckless.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Then meanwhile, you have other I think it was Tom
Tillis who was saying, like, you know, children are watching
and the president should think about the example he sets
for the children that are watching it.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Like, okay, nice light attempt at admonishment. Uh.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
And meanwhile, every like military expert has basically said, like, yeah,
what these lawmakers said is absolutely legal and true.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You're supposed to disobey in the legal order. He was saying,
children are watching, so that's why you got to stop
doing war Rome.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
He was trying to be like, you're a look that
you're a role models. He was doing that, You're a
role model, mister president. So maybe you don't call for
their heads because little kids. You want to show the
little children's of the world that we don't just call
for people's heads.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Mm hmm oh okay, yeah, yeah, I don't know how
that worked.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
That was effective. Such a weird thing to be like that.
That's my line. This this looks bad to children.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
It's just such a I think it's a way for
them to be critical, but in a way that is
meaningless to Trump. So like they're on record being like,
well Tom Tillis didn't co sign that he said the
children are watching, But Donald Trump's like, I don't give
a fuck fuck them kids.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yes, he's a he's a big fuck them kids energy. Yeah,
and so are you is that still a thing where
you believe in Santa Claus? Is that still a going
concern for you?
Speaker 10 (30:59):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (30:59):
What are you the five to twelve demo? What let's
take a quick break, we'll come back, and we're back.
And like we said, you go back. You look at
(31:21):
Nazi Germany and like Hitler is like, here's what we
here's what we should be making, all right, these are
the type of movies we make. And you're like, that's
that's so weird to just like trust the government with
like the movie industry. So we're entering a world where
these Trump approved billionaires are now going to own like
a illegal amount or could soon own an illegal amount
(31:46):
of the film industry. And what will Donald Trump do
with that power?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's starting to take shape, and it's actually exactly what
I would have expected if I had just like taking
the time to think about it, because you.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Just but you think about all the fascists who, yeah,
the classic twentieth century fascist they.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Loved a bit of cinema, didn't they.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Hitler Mussolini started a whole fucking studio in Rome to
be like, honey, we're gonna make the best propaganda films
you've ever seen, while also helping our film industry, so
to know, you know, what their visions were. They were
talking about like the Roman Empire and things like that.
But so I'm guessing Trump is doing like revolutionary kind
of material bring back the Patriot with Mel Gibson.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
So kind of. So he's he's using his relationship to
Larry and David Ellison to bend them to his whims.
And in that way, he wants to bring the Rush
Hour franchise back, which he's not like a big movie guy. Like,
the thing that we know about his movie taste is
(32:55):
the anecdote where he had them use like he used
his to get people to edit the movie Blood Sport
down so that it was only the fight scenes.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yep. Yeah, yeah, he ain't got time.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
He loves Broadway musicals, so it's true.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Yeah, but he.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Loves cats, like Memories is one of his favorite songs.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I'm not I'm not like, yeah, he's super in I'm.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Soon going to be ironic when he doesn't have anymore.
But yeah, he was blasting a phantom from the Oval
office the other day. I'm pretty sure like that. There's
constantly anecdotes about him just vibing out to some show tunes,
some some Broadway. But yeah, somebody was reporting this. They
(33:44):
cited someone directly familiar with the conversation saying that Trump
personally pressed Ellison to revive the Jackie Chan Chris Tucker
buddy cop franchise Rush Hour, which The New Yorker previously
reported that the nineteen eighty eight John Claude Van dam
actionfully blood Sport was one of the president's favorite films
of all time. Which could it could just be him
(34:05):
not admitting what he's really into, you know, right, right,
right right, These are like the ones that have been
approved as like macho and so he yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Man, does he know those two leads in Rush Hour
are non white people? He's okay with that woke nonsense.
I guess it's cops. So the way they are, the
way they handle delicately raised relations, speak foreign languages. If
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
I learned to never touch a black man's radio from
that film. You never do it, You never do it.
You just can't.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
I mean great, that's as much as your.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Brain can be the most benign thing that we've heard
to come out.
Speaker 12 (34:45):
Of someone with their consolidating media like at a fucking
pace we've never seen, and he's like, I'm sure one
of us is like, well, look, this is what I
think we can do about the coverage about what's happening
in Palestin.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yeah, hold on, hold on, you know what you guys
should be doing right rebooting Rush Hour. I want to
see it again.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Like that's that's where his head is at, because he's
actually already said a thing where he was not really
all in on all these media companies buying up television
stations like he kind of because then the whole time
we're like, oh, great, now all of his flunkies are
going to be owning like all these like local stations
and can just bend the news to his will. But
(35:23):
he just recently was like, actually I would, he said
a quote, would not be happy if the FCC lifted
the national ownership cap because I think someone told him
he's like this kid, just go the other way and
everyone like all the people can like make the news
be against you.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So now I think a little bit of paradigm it's
like with.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
His McDonald's, you know, is that you're fucking with the
one thing that we know he loves, which is TV.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Right right. Also, yeah, yeah, I happens.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Like the there there is an approach, a certain approach
one could take, which is to like feed Trump a
steady supply of this kind of stuff like, Hey, Trump,
do you want to perform like on Broadway? Do you
want to be in Cats? Do you want to like
be in a new rush Hour?
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Like?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
And then like so that.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
He's like because he that is like what he wants, right,
He's not a good actor or performer.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
He's well, he's very funny. His timing is very funny.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I think Jack was referencing home alone too.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
That's right, let's not.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Let's but if you if you like, if you get
if you gave him this stuff like do you want
to be mister Mestopheles like he might it might kind
of give him stuff to do so he doesn't like
go to war with.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Uh could you think? I mean you know right, because
all you hear about is that working there is just
like babysitter time with the most powerful man who can
kind of do anything he wants if he says so.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Like have they tried to be like sure you were
in rush Hour? And then they just pull up like
an ai video or like look at the remember the
scene we had the camera's like that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
I like that. I like, you're right, Okay, I'm gonna
take a nap now, great, mister President. Great.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I do wonder if because now I feel like it's
coming to the point where, like everyone else wants to
see his time occupied doing anything but be the president.
But then like the people inside the administration have to
be coming to that conclusion as well. I wonder if
it is time to like offer him an exciting project,
(37:30):
you know, like you get Rush Hour the musical.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Well, like yeah, on the other side, people should be
doing that to distract him, just right, Like.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
That's exactly what I'm saying. Yeah, with the with the
you know, with the like mom Donnie visit. I think
that really shows like the last person, the last charismatic
person to talk to him, he's like, oh, I like you,
uh like, because he's just he has like the attention
span of like a messed up hamster.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
He can't like, he can't remember. He's supposed to hate you.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
So if you're just like, hey, you know what, We're
gonna do a new Phantom of the Opera, we think
he'd be greatly as you know, great as the guy.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
I don't. I'm actually not. Yeah, can you sing about bread?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
We can get you and we can get you and
lay mis rabs. So yeah, like we have to like
if you compete, Yeah, Taco bulls, he loves that. But yeah,
just like I mean, this is I think actually happening
like what you guys are saying, Like, I think it's
actually happening in the Trump administration where they have to like.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Compete for his attention.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I think they are showing him AI videos and he
might be getting confused about what.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Is real or not or not because he did, like
do a he posted.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That medical thing right, the med beds.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Just fun fact that account that posted the original med
beds video also a foreign account.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep ye. I
think it's I think it. All I know is it
wasn't the US. It wasn't the.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
US secret compound. Yeah, Volcano Island.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I think he's very easily confused and very easily manipulated,
and the people who are working around him need to
start thinking outside of the box, getting on their grindset
and creating some musical theater projects. To occupy his time.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Or just like I feel like Chuck Schumer should just
start lying to Donald Trump and being like, yeah, I
actually love you, mister president. We want to name this
building after you. And he's like, wow, did you hear that?
They've had a complete change of heart, and they're like
they're fucking with you, mister president.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Why would you do that? Why would you do that?
Speaker 6 (39:51):
Just completely fu weird suspicion in the whitet, like you
were always a hater, Steven Diller.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
I knew that about you. You always against me.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Steven Miller really likes the movie Casino. Did you know that?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Does he?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
That makes sense. There's a lot of school tea in
that movie. He's probably watching it, like he probably also
likes American Psycho, you know, like he likes movies for
the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
He really loved Robert de Niro and like he like
he watched this in high school and then he started
dressing like Robert de Niro, where in these movies where
he like started wearing rings and thin ties and the
whole you know, like the hand steepling thing. That's like
I think that's based on like Robert de Niro. Yeah, exactly, like,
I think his role in Casino that was that's what
(40:37):
he's he's and he kept doing that.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
So cocked by Joe Pesci, Yeah, I mean sense why
he was so upset when Steven or when Robert DeNiro
called him a Nazi. Yeah, that's right. He lost it.
Speaker 6 (40:49):
He was like, he's a sad, broken old man and
You're like, oh, why are you crying?
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Fool?
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yeah, feelings were hurt all right elsewhere in the end
taked industry. We mentioned last week that Fox News announced
a exciting new podcast, star studed cast playing the roles
of Jesus and his pals, Jesus and Pals. It was
I guess not it Tegious The Life of Jesus Podcast.
(41:21):
His last name was.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
Podcast Jesus h Podcast.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
So we speculated at the time that the actors did
this not knowing that it would end up on Fox
because it was created by an external production company and
then Fox bought it. But I mean, you're making a
podcast about the life of Jesus, Like, where do you
think it's going to end up? It would be my question. Well, now,
Christen Bell, one of the cast members reps have said
(41:50):
she recorded her part of that biblical at the time
audio book back in twenty ten, and had no idea
about this podcast until quote her team received a request
for her to appear on Fox and Friends a day
before the podcast.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Was an Oh my god, Yeah, I love not.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
The request you ever want to receive, Kristen Baby.
Speaker 6 (42:15):
Yay, got to ask you to be heard. You doing
a Jesus Christ podcast for Fox News?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
What the team? Welcome to the family, Christen.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yeah, this is like the case with a lot of
Christian movies where it's meant to be Christian prop Again.
I think this was the case with there was some
anti abortion movie.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
With Greg Kaner. Does Greg Knear appear in it? Because
he really seems to appear in all those for some reason.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I don't know it was it was like an anti
abortion movie, I think also and maybe God is Dead,
But like that where they like had to trick a
lot of the crew and cast to like come on it,
and then when they like found out what it was about,
the would leave. So you didn't want to do a
(43:04):
movie like that.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Yeah, But if you've seen Bowfinger, this is essentially both
like they're using the actors without their knowledge to make
a movie or make a podcast in this case that
they could could not have otherwise gotten them to have.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
Them sent it to Yeah, because I remember with like
Brian Cox or like Brian Cox.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Hates these fucking people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
And then of Cox told the Hollywood Reporter Brian recorded
audio for a project over a decade ago. He was
unaware that the audio would be repurposed for a new
podcast series in twenty twenty five. Brian only became aware
of the podcast yesterday.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Always always read the fine print, wait till they're chopping
this podcast up or the words to be like you
guys are doing like a pro Mussolini podcast. What bring
him back?
Speaker 6 (43:54):
I man, we're gonna come to regret that episode where
we just talked about how much we love musliks.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Yeah, yeah, and you love musically I love Tourdelini. Mussolini
is the.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Movie you're thinking of, Unplanned Katie.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yes, I think it was also a funny thing. It
was like about this like woman in it who had
an abortion and then said she regretted it and worked
with like these with the anti abortion movement. And then
she later like when she was really old and kind
of she was having some medical issues and she didn't
(44:35):
think that where she was pretty sure she was gonna die.
She was like, yeah, I actually just did that me
a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Yeah, I mean roe right, well didn't like the original. Yeah,
they paid her off to like become a anti choice activist.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, because she was not she was not in a
great economic position, so they yeah, they bribed her to
do that.
Speaker 6 (44:59):
And she was like okay, oh yeah, that's have you
seen that there's a new pubulatory podcast about Riley Gaines
the Kentucky Swimmer.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I want to dig into that. And I start watching it.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
It's it's really wild again because you there's these people
that the right finds to basically create a victim out
of and then they're like, perfect, now we will find
you're transformation.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
Yeah, more like Riley no gains.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
And that is and that is kind of the ultimate
that the ending of the show. But that's what he says,
and that's why he's being sued. All Right, that's gonna
do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and
review the show if you like. The show means the
world to Miles. He he needs your validation.
Speaker 9 (45:46):
Folks.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will
talk to him Monday.
Speaker 13 (45:51):
Bye Spens.
Speaker 9 (46:15):
Singing Spans supp
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah, So,
without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. What is
(00:25):
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I did search for grind set because I wanted to
know what it meant at last, at long last.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Right, you've been out of the country too long, Katie.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yeah, it means a grinding mindset, so.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Like, thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So it's because the grind rhymes with mind and so
you can turn it into a grind set because like
when I was I had like I kind of understood
the concept of its like you know, hustling or whatever,
but I was like grind set thinking of.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Like a gym set or something, or like you have.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
A like a T set to grind, like a salt
and pepper shaker, and they're both the grinders on.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Them exactly, Like like, yeah, I have a I'm a nice.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Pair of of grind sets because I have a grind
set because I have a salt finger. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's well, they both grind because it's the it's
the whole peppers and the sea salts I've got. They
both grind the seasonings out. So I have a grind set.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
But no, I did.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I did learn it's a it's it's a mind it's
a portmanteau of grinding and mind set.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So that's that's informative, and it does help me understand
sort of helps you understand the philosophy behind it, right,
because it's also like you don't have time for saying
two words like a grinding mindset just.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Because you're fucking grizzy.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay, I'm so excited to see what this knowledge does
for you because I've been saying Katie.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, we've been saying this, We were saying this before the.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Show on her grind set a little bit. If she
just like kind of understood the grinds mindset, like if
she was just waking up at four in the morning
to work out with Mark Wahlberg and the Lord, like,
I feel like we'd be seeing like at fucking hockey sticks.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Exactly what I said was Katie, Okay, obviously a baller.
Plus Italy the home of the fucking Lambeau. I'm like, Okay,
So we're going to see her hop out of the
fucking evented or no time. But then we say why
no Lambeau light bulb moment, and we tried, and we
impressed this upon you as Tony, uh, what's this?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What's that guy's name?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Tony Robin says, I don't mean to impress you, but
impress upon you that you need to get on your
fucking grizzly Adams so you can finally hop in Lambeau
and and we can around.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Wait in all, seriously, when did you when did you go?
All right, I'll by what's this grind set? I'm gonna
I don't know what anyone's talking about anymore.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
It's just like, you know, I should this is the day.
This is the day I should learn what this is?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, you know, and watch out world, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Ye, what is Caitlin? Something you think is underrated?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
I think magic shows we're just magic in general going.
And this might be because I just watched rewatched The
Prestige for many years, having not seen it for a while,
but I was like, yeah, magic is cool, and a
lot of people think that it isn't, but I'm here
(03:47):
to say that it is.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Hell yeah mm hmmm, I think it's beautiful. Wait, people,
people don't.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
People think that magic is for dorgs and that magicians
are dorks and that it's all dork shit.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But wait, you think get I get furious anytime I've
been tricked.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, that's true. Like you think I'm a fool. Yeah,
he's banned from the Magic Castle because he was at
a close up magic show and he fucking duffed out
the person who I.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Keep grabbing their arms and like looking up their sleeves.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
What'shole? They're like what I said, pick a card?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I went to the Magic Castle once. I'll never trust
anyone again.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
I wonder do you think it's like if you have
a inability to accept you don't know about something you
don't like magic?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think it's so funny the idea of people just
like can't get over themselves enough to enjoy magic. I
love magic so much. I love I love saying it.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I love Yeah, there's nothing more fun than being like,
what the fall?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I know that's the whole point of it, because you
don't get to have moments like that really ever.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So yeah, let your guard down to let a fucking magician. Wow,
you Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
But also like aside from the Magic Castle in La
and maybe like a couple other venues here and there,
like magic shows just aren't as they need to be
on every corner.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
There needs to be a magic more.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, we need to have magicians like the fifties had
due up groups just doing magic on every corner around
a burning trash campfire.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
I'm saying, yeah, more magic.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's like not a mainstream enough, like it is a
mainstream pleasure, Like everybody gets so much pleasure.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It is so fun.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
If it was the last time you were like, hey,
what'd you do last night and someone said, oh, I
went to a magic show, it never happens.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Never.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's like a children's birthday party thing that's like outmoded.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Oh my friend recently for his wife's birthday hired up
a close up magician to do it like a little show.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
This guy was fuck.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
He was doing shit where like the card you signed
was inside a fucking orange across the shit like that
love that shit. We were all fucking screaming and I
think almost annoying the magician because we were so fucking
and he's like, all right, we were.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Grabbing him we were grabbing him and he would do
like Michael, no, my god.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
He was shaking him by the lapels like rabbits are
falling out of his coat, and shit.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
He was not used to this. When he turned up,
people just be like, Yo, you fucking did it, bro.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Have I told the story on here when I was
like at a like a really nice kid's birthday party
and they had a magician slash mentalist and I got
pulled up to the front and he was doing this
thing where I closed my eyes and he was like, okay,
he's under my spell now. And then he told me
(06:36):
that like when I feel a tap on one side
of my body, I raised my hand, and if I
feel a tap on the other shoulder, I raised that hand.
And then so I've got my eyes closed, he taps
me on the shoulder. I raised my hand and like
there's a gasp in the crowd, and then he taps
my other shoulder and I raised my hand. Everyone's like
what the fuck? And then he's like doing it like
(06:57):
my arms are like going up and down like because
I'm just feeling the tap. And I opened my eyes
and like he's like, all right, give it up for
Jack and like, what the fuck just happened? I go
back there, like he wasn't anywhere close to you when
when you were like raising your hands, he was like
standing a foot behind you, just like raising your hand
like with and they were like what did he tell you?
(07:18):
Like were you in? Like nobody could believe that. I
was like in on it.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
This is that same party where your wife left you after.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
You looked like a fucking fool hold your little dick
out in front of everybody and jerked it off, shut out.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I think you should leave.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So I think it's a thing where he is actually
behind me, like tapping me with his off hand, but
like people are only looking at his hand that's doing
the business of like yeah, yeah, so he's just really.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
He was nowhere near you.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's what everybody said, that he was like a foot
behind me or something. But he must have like my
wife took my wife's took a video.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We need to see that zapruder film now.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I know my wife took a video, And I was like,
oh I can I think I can see how he
was like he would tap me and because it's because
like he spotted me as like a slow witted person.
So He's like this person will take a little while
to like raise their arm after I tap them and lollipop.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, so I think he like taps me, stands back
and then raises his hand with my hand, you know.
And because there's like a little bit of a delay
in between me feeling him tap and then me raising
my hand, he like it looks like he's just standing
back and.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Like Jack, maybe you know this is the problem was.
It was like I was just saying this that like
because we have cell phones, like we don't do ship,
like we don't fuck with stuff within our hands anymore,
like as an activity like of like yo yo ing,
or like a deck of cards like I think of
there were kids who would just have decks of cards.
(09:01):
They would just manipulate the deck one handed, like as
like their fidget spinner at school, or like just these
other things.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And I feel like we're losing that gateway.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeahs had been a pen on my finger. I can't
really do it anywhere, but yeah, I bet you were
good at that, Miles little pens. Yeah, there you go,
switch watch it. I just did it and flew out
of his hands.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I was talking.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I was talking to a friend of mine who works
in a like dental department at a university, and she
was saying that they're having to add a different element
of training to young like dental students because they're so
bad with their hands and fingers don't have any they
don't have any dexterity, so they're just like mashing people's
(09:46):
teeth with their like big dumb hands.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Jesus, bring the magic back to schools.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
We need to bring the magic back.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
We really do. One time in college I went to
a bar and there were there was a mentalist and
a magician and they were just like doing like little
tricks at the bar. And again a lot of people
would have been like, who are these freaking nerds? I
should shove them into a locker, But I went.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Up to them.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
I was talking to them, and then I sort of
to neither of them in particular. I was just like,
do you want to go on a date? And then
they both showed up to the date, no specify, and
I didn't even know who I wanted to go on,
and I but I was like, I think I do
want to go on a date with both of you.
At the same time.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Did you make them do like a Magic Battle.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
They weren't battling each other. They were collaborating, right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So do they show up to dates together on like,
are they a team when it comes to dating?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
I'm not really sure. I don't I was.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It awkward when they both showed up or were they
like finishing each other's sentences each other's day?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Both of us?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
It was right, And I mean also, I didn't specify.
I was just sort of like, hey, you too, maybe
do you want to go to it? And then they yeah,
And so it was actually kind of the thickest thing
I've ever done.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That is really cool. I'm kind of in awe of you.
Did the date go well?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Fine?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
I realized by the end that I wasn't really romantically
interested in either of them.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
But I was intellectually, Yeah, I did in both of.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Them, of course, of course, as you should.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
What is uh, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Okay I didn't hear. I didn't see it in the
stories we're going to cover. So I have to say
Campbell's soup, Yeah, a big piece of news.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Did you guys? We covered it yesterday? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (11:40):
We covered it on every day damn much.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, one of our nine episodes yesterday we did record three.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I've always felt it to be overrated, and I am
one of the fat poors. He mentioned, I grew up
eating it, and it's like.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
There's not even a comfort to it in the way
that like a pack of blue ramen is still comforting.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
And I stick, do you know what I mean? It's
like always been disgusting. Like and also why am I cooking?
Like the whole point, why do I have to add
water to this? Like we already decided.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
If I'm gonna buy a can of soup, it's because
I don't want to cook soup.
Speaker 10 (12:25):
Don't make me put an ingredient in it.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
One place he was completely on the money was when
he described the chicken as seeming as though it were
three D printed.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
He's very funny.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I mean, he's gonna if if it's like not too
late to add anyone to Trump's cabinet, he would be a.
Speaker 10 (12:50):
Shoe in.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
A Department of Defense and Healthcare. He's like, it's like
nine positions and he's.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
He's the FDA.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Now he's he does see it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I mean, he seems like could be a perfect fit
in that. I feel like a lot of the people
like Rudy Giuliani became a perfect fit for his cabinet
when he just was like what if I stayed drunk
all day? And like this rant definitely feels like somebody
who was just hammered, Like nobody has that much stamina
to be like and another thing for an hour long
(13:24):
zoom call where everyone else is like video off and
he's still going.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
It's like the backstage at the comedy store when like
people have been doing cocaine for too long or whatever.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
You want to go home, but it won't stop.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
It could have been cocaine actually, because he is he
was in the c suite of Campbell's. Campbell's was like, uh,
he was like some tech guy and it's like no,
he was a chief technology security whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Like he he's in this c suite. He's like one
of your main dudes. And and a.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Lot like Rudy Giuliani. He seems red wine drunk, which
is a special.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Kind special Yeah, like that.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Drunk, you know what I mean, a jug of not
even good red wine, Like it's just a different kind
of alcoholic.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
Like they they're very emotional.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Yeah, dewey eyed and slow kind of.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
That's right, Yeah, and like rosy. But you know, just yeah,
dark teeth.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Man, the teeth they need another hug, stained teeth, needing
a hug for a hug.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
Yeah, they're listening to a lot of opera.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Yeah, pretentious, they're pretentious alcoholics.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, we did.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We did take a look into not just that rant,
but also just their history and there's there's a lot
of ship that.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
They were like dumping toxic waste into Lake Eerie for
a number of years.
Speaker 11 (14:55):
That's why if you swim in it, it tastes like
it tastes like chicken noodle.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
They were like, fine, we did it nine hundred times
over the course of like three years. So they were
doing it three times a day, dumping toxic waste into
Lake Erie, and it like contributed to an algae bloom
that made the entire city of I think it was
Toledo have to turn off their water for four days.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
How are they going to make the soup?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Exactly? Thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Can I say something about those chicken noodle noodles too,
because there's nothing like it. They don't exist anywhere else.
Because they could just use a short, small noodle like
a shell or macaroni or whatever, but instead they're chopping spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Or chopping yeah, chopped spaghetti.
Speaker 10 (15:42):
It's like little pieces of noodle chunks.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But the least aldente pasta has ever been.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
Yeah, it tastes like it has the flu.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Yes, it's like latinous.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It is so fucked up.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
The substance of that is like the fact that that
was the first pasta that I probably ever ate.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Is.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, that spaghettiosus are delicious. If that guy goes off,
I don't know what I'm going to do. He was
in charge of mister If mister Boyardy lose.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
Is it a jug of wine?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
That's right, doctor Boyard.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I think I think he got his PhD in spaghettios
with Pepper.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Old Friends.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, it's a very good point about the ramen too,
Like that that has totally supplanted any at home soup option.
Like if you're gonna you have to add water to
that one too, But like if if we're adding water,
might as well make it fucking awesome.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I mean, I am cooking that one. I'm adding proccoli.
I'm a shit onions.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Oh so much better than Campbell's to say. In the
first fifteen years of my comedy career, like I owed
all ramen.
Speaker 10 (16:55):
Baby, Yeah, what's your color?
Speaker 11 (16:58):
Uh dude, Well, I do the I don't think we
should call it oriental, but that's what I did.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
That's what it's called.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Yeah, that's that's what it was.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
Yeah, the blue one.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'm chicken just because that's what we had in my
dorm when I was like in high school, and yeah,
it was I've never given up on the chicken.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
Is the saltiest.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, really, eat one of those freaks in your life.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
That's like I only use half the packet, you know,
like I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You just want to get out of here.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Yeah, I'm too busy exercising. You're like relaxed. I like
how you define it by color. I'm going to start
doing that.
Speaker 10 (17:37):
Yeah, that's kind of love to say oriental like you.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
Yeah, I'm on the edge of my scene. I have
a gong that I hit like Jackie chan't enters Rush
Hour of seeds.
Speaker 10 (17:50):
As does anybody eat the beef one? I don't.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I think beef is like like maga, I mean it is.
Speaker 10 (17:57):
I just I've never met anyone that defaulted.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The prefers red dude.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
Yeah, anything that, anything, any thing that's be flavored makes
me want to retire, like that's yeah, yeah, that's so good. Yeah,
being alive, I don't want to be around anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back to talk about the slowest news day of
the year.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And we're back. We're back, and uh.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Fox News was hyping it like it was a UFC
fight dubbed Showdown with Socialism. I don't know if they
got like a tip from inside that Trump was like,
he's gonna fucking bite his head off, dude, Dude, he
wrapped his.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Hands and broken glass. It's fucking nuts what he's doing.
He's been training with Bolo Young from the martial arts films.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
The bad guy in Blood Sport for to get fucking
ready for this.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yes, so stupid showed the ponytail that he put on
top of it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
He whipps herround, puts a clip in ponytail in the back.
He's like, I'm ready, bring him in, bring him in.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
But yeah, so Fox News uh was being previewed as
the Showdown with Socialism, and it was that like kind
of summed up by a you know, photograph that everybody
saw with mom Donnie not surprisingly smiling and Donald Trump
looking back at him with the biggest fucking smile on
(19:34):
his face. Dude, it looks like when I like met
Jonathan key Hoy kwan aka Data aka short Round aka
Academy Award winner, Like when I was a kid, I
looked up to him so much. There's a I gotta
find it. I met him and I'm like, ah, whowee,
that is the excitement looking up at him.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's so funny. People are like, bro, he doesn't even
have pictures with Baron looking like this.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
No, yeah, this is the happiest I've ever seen him. Look,
it doesn't I don't know. Did he just find out
what socialism means and he's like, oh, pretty reachy. I
mean a lot of people at this point is like
Trump can't, like if he can't say shit about a winner,
like to the point where like he has to like
bow down to winners like it doesn't even matter.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And in this one he's just like, yeah, he's great.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
The shit he was saying is unbelievable. Like how like
suddenly he went from.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Like we're gonna have to look into this guy, he's
a low life communist.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
To being like, h we will not be threatening funding
at all to New York City. Yeah, this guy's great.
And actually Trump was like saying, I think he's gonna
actually cont surprise a lot of conservatives about what he's
gonna do.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Liberals already like him, and Trump said I'm totally comfortable
being in New York if he's the mayor. Like just
completely upended all their rhetoric around this shit.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Trump suggested that mom, Donnie is going to be a
quote really great mayor, claimed that we agree on a
lot more than I would have fought because I don't
I don't read or like do anything, and told him
to go ahead and call him a fascist in response
to a reporter's question because it's easier, and they gave
him like a playful arm.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Pat it was hold on, we have this clip.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Yeah, this clip is absolutely because again the media, they
were asking all kinds of questions to both of them
to be like you said he was a bitch, and
you said he was a g hottist or like you know,
like or people in your party believe that, what do
you think he's like, No.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
He's actually I fucked with him heavy. Actually it was
basically what he was saying.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
But yeah, this is a really wild one too, where
they tried to get Momdani like caught up, like you
called this dude accurate?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
Are you trumps a fascist?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
I've spoken about Okay, it's easier than explaining it pedal, but.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I don't mind. It's a bad ahead, go ahead. It's
easier than just like his.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Grand like talking to your grandchild. It's like, do you
think your grandpa's a raised It's like, it's okay, honey,
it's you can let each other. We have our relationship.
You can say that.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's easier. I love you. It's okay, baby. Yeah. Every
every quote was so glowing out.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yes, it does raise the queste because you know, I
feel like since his first administration, we've like people take
what he says seriously because he's the president.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
I really feel like it's it's like his moods are
just wild and swing based on like if he's in
a good like adderall pocket or not, you know what
I mean? Yeah, And like this was early the sun
was out, go get those early. And also too, he
doesn't he has no memory of what he said before
(22:57):
about a thing, right, like whatever it is, you're just
getting his instant reaction to whatever they're like is being
asked of him. And in this case, he had a
good meeting with Mom Donnie, who is like personable, he's affable,
he knows how to talk to people, so of course
he's gonna like he found a way to describe what
his vision was, and Trump said, I think it's great.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
He wants to make it safe. I want it to
be safe. I want it to be affordable. I like
New York. He likes New York. That's good.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Like h It was like he was just like Mom
Donnie went in with like a handful of talking points
that were just like hey, we both like New York.
And he was just like, wow, that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And then like Trump posted, so he posted all these
pictures of them together.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Yeah, like from his account, he's like, here I am
with this cool young guy from New York, isn't he cool?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Folks?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Again, people were like, you don't even post your fucking kids.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Meanwhile, Laura Lumer not not quite as far. The people
on the right were like, you know, came in expecting
to see like an UFC knockout, and staid saw like
just a cuddle fust Yeah, Laura Lumer said, not condemning
Trump disclaimer, However, I think we can all agree it's
a bad look to let a foreign board Attis, who
(24:19):
said he wants to implement anti white policies like taxing
white people more money, to stand behind the desk in
the Oval Office and repeatedly wrote the phrase what are
we doing? I'm stunned throughout. I had to drink a
bottle of ginger ale today after seeing Mam Donnie in
the Oval Office because it physically nauseates me seeing Islamic
jihadis and infiltrate our government. Yeah, the Democrats posted on it,
(24:44):
despite despite having passed a House resolution condemning socialism. They
were they were willing to post a meme photo with
like mum Donnie extra Trump and as like the strong dog.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah yeah, Chad and little Baby couldn't absolutely couldn't stand
up to it.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I mean yeah, I think a lot of people are like,
what's he doing with Trump? I'm like, dude, he's working them.
I don't know, I don't know. I mean, like, obviously,
I think you're there.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
What what he'll be able to achieve versus what he
campaigned on, or of two different things? Because he doesn't
have absolute power as mayor, but you know, it is
wild to just he went in there and turned a
guy who said we might have to deport his ass.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, to you get whatever money you need, babe, call
me a fascist, babe. I love babe. Kind of cute.
He's kind of cute, babe.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
And honestly, I would love to live in mom Donnie's
in New York is essentially what he was saying. So it's, yeah,
that really fucked up all the people who were, you know,
hoping that the maga Islamophobia would he would keep that
same energy, but he didn't.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's he's he's unreliable, I might say. There there were
some great images of Trump dressing legs or on after
the meeting, and like it was like Zoran and a
kind of maroon turtleneck with a black right, right, and
then Trump in like a scarf with a black blazer
(26:09):
and people are like, damn, he's even like trying to
copy his swag. But those were fake. Those were slap.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I think the thing that wasn't ai slop that was
the most jarring was just seeing their interaction there.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
And also it's okay, babe, you can say what you want.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Underscores to not only like disoniality, but the cowardice. You know,
Donald Trump, he only keeps that same energy for unfortunately
women or women of color. That's the only time he's like,
he really fucking acts like he's like, he's like, oh yeah,
what about this this guy like this guy calls you
a fashion He said, Okay, babe.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You can say it. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I actually think it's cute when he says it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Oh so you don't have that same energy from the
Twitter posts?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Okay, okay, I actually can't remember.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
It's wet energy, babe. It's always love, babe, no smoke, babe.
Never wanted it.
Speaker 8 (26:57):
He does.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Speaking of Trump and Twitter posts, he is still posting
a lot of like alarming shit that suggests that he
wants to murder the people who said that.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
I just think seditious crimes should be punishable by death's right,
and I throw them of that.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Do whatever you want with that information.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Yeah, I mean again, he's still feeling the sting of
lawmakers reminding the troops about the Constitution because I think it.
Those are the moments when he has to be like
I'm the bad I'm like, no, surely not. Now let
me now, let me retreat to my the soothing, calm
waters of AI boomer slot memes with me starring Donald Trump,
(27:44):
and he's posting shit like he's got like a this
AI pick of like him with an American flag cape
on with like the New York City skyline, but the
letters don't make sense.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It says, remember your oath. Okay.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Then there's another one with red lightning like he's a
fucking like Emperor Palpatine or some sith lord, like red
lightning hitting him. It's his duet que on his shoulder
of his jacket, and it says, time.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
To obliterate the deep State. Yeah, And you're like, oh,
y'all that he might they might state like they might
self obliterate.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Right.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
The whole Q thing is kind of a weird thing
to be invoking the same week that it was revealed
that you're all over the Epstein files and all over
the Epstein emails because.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It's not him.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
They're like, no, no, no, no, no, his energies around it,
because he's going to upend the pedophile, evil cabals that
exist among Democrats. And then there's another one with a
guy Fox mask and said, nothing can stop what's coming.
But it's a guy Fox mask, like as if he's
taking off the guy Fox mask, but he's wearing a
guy This guy Fox mask.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Stupid because it's aid sense.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
You're like, what are you saying that It's still it
was Trump's fist underneath, but instead it was guy Fox
taking off his guy Fox mask. Yepal Fox, it is
me Guy Fox mask. So there we are.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Meanwhile, none of the targeted lawmakers are backing down.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
They're like, he's just trying to intimidate us, and you
know whatever, We're not intimidated because guess what, It's in
the fucking constitution. You're supposed to disobey an illegal order.
That's like the whole fucking point here. And Republicans they're
split on how to respond. You have people who are
like clearly trying to differentiate from MAGA, like the Rand
Paul's who are like, look, I'm just an idiot, I'm
(29:40):
not MAGA. He's like, I think it's reckless.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Then meanwhile, you have other I think it was Tom
Tillis who was saying, like, you know, children are watching
and the president should think about the example he sets
for the children that are watching it.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Like, okay, nice light attempt at admonishment. Uh.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
And meanwhile, every like military expert has basically said, like, yeah,
what these lawmakers said is absolutely legal and true.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You're supposed to disobey in the legal order. He was saying,
children are watching, so that's why you got to stop
doing war Rome.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
He was trying to be like, you're a look that
you're a role models. He was doing that, You're a
role model, mister president. So maybe you don't call for
their heads because little kids. You want to show the
little children's of the world that we don't just call
for people's heads.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Mm hmm oh okay, yeah, yeah, I don't know how
that worked.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
That was effective. Such a weird thing to be like that.
That's my line. This this looks bad to children.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
It's just such a I think it's a way for
them to be critical, but in a way that is
meaningless to Trump. So like they're on record being like,
well Tom Tillis didn't co sign that he said the
children are watching, But Donald Trump's like, I don't give
a fuck fuck them kids.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yes, he's a he's a big fuck them kids energy. Yeah,
and so are you is that still a thing where
you believe in Santa Claus? Is that still a going
concern for you?
Speaker 10 (30:59):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (30:59):
What are you the five to twelve demo? What let's
take a quick break, we'll come back, and we're back.
And like we said, you go back. You look at
(31:21):
Nazi Germany and like Hitler is like, here's what we
here's what we should be making, all right, these are
the type of movies we make. And you're like, that's
that's so weird to just like trust the government with
like the movie industry. So we're entering a world where
these Trump approved billionaires are now going to own like
a illegal amount or could soon own an illegal amount
(31:46):
of the film industry. And what will Donald Trump do
with that power?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's starting to take shape, and it's actually exactly what
I would have expected if I had just like taking
the time to think about it, because you.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Just but you think about all the fascists who, yeah,
the classic twentieth century fascist they.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Loved a bit of cinema, didn't they.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Hitler Mussolini started a whole fucking studio in Rome to
be like, honey, we're gonna make the best propaganda films
you've ever seen, while also helping our film industry, so
to know, you know, what their visions were. They were
talking about like the Roman Empire and things like that.
But so I'm guessing Trump is doing like revolutionary kind
of material bring back the Patriot with Mel Gibson.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
So kind of. So he's he's using his relationship to
Larry and David Ellison to bend them to his whims.
And in that way, he wants to bring the Rush
Hour franchise back, which he's not like a big movie guy. Like,
the thing that we know about his movie taste is
(32:55):
the anecdote where he had them use like he used
his to get people to edit the movie Blood Sport
down so that it was only the fight scenes.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yep. Yeah, yeah, he ain't got time.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
He loves Broadway musicals, so it's true.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Yeah, but he.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Loves cats, like Memories is one of his favorite songs.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I'm not I'm not like, yeah, he's super in I'm.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Soon going to be ironic when he doesn't have anymore.
But yeah, he was blasting a phantom from the Oval
office the other day. I'm pretty sure like that. There's
constantly anecdotes about him just vibing out to some show tunes,
some some Broadway. But yeah, somebody was reporting this. They
(33:44):
cited someone directly familiar with the conversation saying that Trump
personally pressed Ellison to revive the Jackie Chan Chris Tucker
buddy cop franchise Rush Hour, which The New Yorker previously
reported that the nineteen eighty eight John Claude Van dam
actionfully blood Sport was one of the president's favorite films
of all time. Which could it could just be him
(34:05):
not admitting what he's really into, you know, right, right,
right right, These are like the ones that have been
approved as like macho and so he yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Man, does he know those two leads in Rush Hour
are non white people? He's okay with that woke nonsense.
I guess it's cops. So the way they are, the
way they handle delicately raised relations, speak foreign languages. If
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
I learned to never touch a black man's radio from
that film. You never do it, You never do it.
You just can't.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
I mean great, that's as much as your.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Brain can be the most benign thing that we've heard
to come out.
Speaker 12 (34:45):
Of someone with their consolidating media like at a fucking
pace we've never seen, and he's like, I'm sure one
of us is like, well, look, this is what I
think we can do about the coverage about what's happening
in Palestin.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yeah, hold on, hold on, you know what you guys
should be doing right rebooting Rush Hour. I want to
see it again.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Like that's that's where his head is at, because he's
actually already said a thing where he was not really
all in on all these media companies buying up television
stations like he kind of because then the whole time
we're like, oh, great, now all of his flunkies are
going to be owning like all these like local stations
and can just bend the news to his will. But
(35:23):
he just recently was like, actually I would, he said
a quote, would not be happy if the FCC lifted
the national ownership cap because I think someone told him
he's like this kid, just go the other way and
everyone like all the people can like make the news
be against you.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So now I think a little bit of paradigm it's
like with.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
His McDonald's, you know, is that you're fucking with the
one thing that we know he loves, which is TV.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Right right. Also, yeah, yeah, I happens.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Like the there there is an approach, a certain approach
one could take, which is to like feed Trump a
steady supply of this kind of stuff like, Hey, Trump,
do you want to perform like on Broadway? Do you
want to be in Cats? Do you want to like
be in a new rush Hour?
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Like?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
And then like so that.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
He's like because he that is like what he wants, right,
He's not a good actor or performer.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
He's well, he's very funny. His timing is very funny.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I think Jack was referencing home alone too.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
That's right, let's not.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Let's but if you if you like, if you get
if you gave him this stuff like do you want
to be mister Mestopheles like he might it might kind
of give him stuff to do so he doesn't like
go to war with.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Uh could you think? I mean you know right, because
all you hear about is that working there is just
like babysitter time with the most powerful man who can
kind of do anything he wants if he says so.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Like have they tried to be like sure you were
in rush Hour? And then they just pull up like
an ai video or like look at the remember the
scene we had the camera's like that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
I like that. I like, you're right, Okay, I'm gonna
take a nap now, great, mister President. Great.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I do wonder if because now I feel like it's
coming to the point where, like everyone else wants to
see his time occupied doing anything but be the president.
But then like the people inside the administration have to
be coming to that conclusion as well. I wonder if
it is time to like offer him an exciting project,
(37:30):
you know, like you get Rush Hour the musical.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Well, like yeah, on the other side, people should be
doing that to distract him, just right, Like.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
That's exactly what I'm saying. Yeah, with the with the
you know, with the like mom Donnie visit. I think
that really shows like the last person, the last charismatic
person to talk to him, he's like, oh, I like you,
uh like, because he's just he has like the attention
span of like a messed up hamster.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
He can't like, he can't remember. He's supposed to hate you.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
So if you're just like, hey, you know what, We're
gonna do a new Phantom of the Opera, we think
he'd be greatly as you know, great as the guy.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
I don't. I'm actually not. Yeah, can you sing about bread?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
We can get you and we can get you and
lay mis rabs. So yeah, like we have to like
if you compete, Yeah, Taco bulls, he loves that. But yeah,
just like I mean, this is I think actually happening
like what you guys are saying, Like, I think it's
actually happening in the Trump administration where they have to like.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Compete for his attention.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I think they are showing him AI videos and he
might be getting confused about what.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Is real or not or not because he did, like
do a he posted.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That medical thing right, the med beds.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Just fun fact that account that posted the original med
beds video also a foreign account.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep ye. I
think it's I think it. All I know is it
wasn't the US. It wasn't the.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
US secret compound. Yeah, Volcano Island.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I think he's very easily confused and very easily manipulated,
and the people who are working around him need to
start thinking outside of the box, getting on their grindset
and creating some musical theater projects. To occupy his time.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Or just like I feel like Chuck Schumer should just
start lying to Donald Trump and being like, yeah, I
actually love you, mister president. We want to name this
building after you. And he's like, wow, did you hear that?
They've had a complete change of heart, and they're like
they're fucking with you, mister president.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Why would you do that? Why would you do that?
Speaker 6 (39:51):
Just completely fu weird suspicion in the whitet, like you
were always a hater, Steven Diller.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
I knew that about you. You always against me.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Steven Miller really likes the movie Casino. Did you know that?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Does he?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
That makes sense. There's a lot of school tea in
that movie. He's probably watching it, like he probably also
likes American Psycho, you know, like he likes movies for
the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
He really loved Robert de Niro and like he like
he watched this in high school and then he started
dressing like Robert de Niro, where in these movies where
he like started wearing rings and thin ties and the
whole you know, like the hand steepling thing. That's like
I think that's based on like Robert de Niro. Yeah, exactly, like,
I think his role in Casino that was that's what
(40:37):
he's he's and he kept doing that.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
So cocked by Joe Pesci, Yeah, I mean sense why
he was so upset when Steven or when Robert DeNiro
called him a Nazi. Yeah, that's right. He lost it.
Speaker 6 (40:49):
He was like, he's a sad, broken old man and
You're like, oh, why are you crying?
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Fool?
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yeah, feelings were hurt all right elsewhere in the end
taked industry. We mentioned last week that Fox News announced
a exciting new podcast, star studed cast playing the roles
of Jesus and his pals, Jesus and Pals. It was
I guess not it Tegious The Life of Jesus Podcast.
(41:21):
His last name was.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
Podcast Jesus h Podcast.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
So we speculated at the time that the actors did
this not knowing that it would end up on Fox
because it was created by an external production company and
then Fox bought it. But I mean, you're making a
podcast about the life of Jesus, Like, where do you
think it's going to end up? It would be my question. Well, now,
Christen Bell, one of the cast members reps have said
(41:50):
she recorded her part of that biblical at the time
audio book back in twenty ten, and had no idea
about this podcast until quote her team received a request
for her to appear on Fox and Friends a day
before the podcast.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Was an Oh my god, Yeah, I love not.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
The request you ever want to receive, Kristen Baby.
Speaker 6 (42:15):
Yay, got to ask you to be heard. You doing
a Jesus Christ podcast for Fox News?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
What the team? Welcome to the family, Christen.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yeah, this is like the case with a lot of
Christian movies where it's meant to be Christian prop Again.
I think this was the case with there was some
anti abortion movie.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
With Greg Kaner. Does Greg Knear appear in it? Because
he really seems to appear in all those for some reason.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I don't know it was it was like an anti
abortion movie, I think also and maybe God is Dead,
But like that where they like had to trick a
lot of the crew and cast to like come on it,
and then when they like found out what it was about,
the would leave. So you didn't want to do a
(43:04):
movie like that.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Yeah, But if you've seen Bowfinger, this is essentially both
like they're using the actors without their knowledge to make
a movie or make a podcast in this case that
they could could not have otherwise gotten them to have.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
Them sent it to Yeah, because I remember with like
Brian Cox or like Brian Cox.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Hates these fucking people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
And then of Cox told the Hollywood Reporter Brian recorded
audio for a project over a decade ago. He was
unaware that the audio would be repurposed for a new
podcast series in twenty twenty five. Brian only became aware
of the podcast yesterday.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Always always read the fine print, wait till they're chopping
this podcast up or the words to be like you
guys are doing like a pro Mussolini podcast. What bring
him back?
Speaker 6 (43:54):
I man, we're gonna come to regret that episode where
we just talked about how much we love musliks.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Yeah, yeah, and you love musically I love Tourdelini. Mussolini
is the.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Movie you're thinking of, Unplanned Katie.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yes, I think it was also a funny thing. It
was like about this like woman in it who had
an abortion and then said she regretted it and worked
with like these with the anti abortion movement. And then
she later like when she was really old and kind
of she was having some medical issues and she didn't
(44:35):
think that where she was pretty sure she was gonna die.
She was like, yeah, I actually just did that me
a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Yeah, I mean roe right, well didn't like the original. Yeah,
they paid her off to like become a anti choice activist.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, because she was not she was not in a
great economic position, so they yeah, they bribed her to
do that.
Speaker 6 (44:59):
And she was like okay, oh yeah, that's have you
seen that there's a new pubulatory podcast about Riley Gaines
the Kentucky Swimmer.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I want to dig into that. And I start watching it.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
It's it's really wild again because you there's these people
that the right finds to basically create a victim out
of and then they're like, perfect, now we will find
you're transformation.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
Yeah, more like Riley no gains.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
And that is and that is kind of the ultimate
that the ending of the show. But that's what he says,
and that's why he's being sued. All Right, that's gonna
do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and
review the show if you like. The show means the
world to Miles. He he needs your validation.
Speaker 9 (45:46):
