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.
Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.

(00:25):
What is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I was reading a bunch about autism therapy and how
it's all run but it was all invented by this
guy who is a Nazi and that's why a lot
of autism therapy is really evil.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh no, whoa.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, it's like a guy who was like a he
was a Swiss Nazi and his parents were also like
super high up in Swiss Nazis. And then he lied
and said.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh Ron's Asperger.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
No a different one.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh that's it. Wait, there's a different one. Yeah, because
there's a thing about that article says, was this autism
pioneer also a Nazi? Okay, yeah, it.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Turns out all the all the treatments for autism were
invented by Nazis and they were all like, just don't
be autistic anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Get you to stop this.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
The parents are very uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
And they were like electric shock, electro shocking people, Jesus,
look me in the eye shock, but it's like still
totally happening. That's what it was crazy too. I don't
know how I got there, but yeah, wait.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
You're like I was looking up hot dogs at cost.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's the beauty of Wikipedia, right if you.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Just keep clicking the blue links, you don't know what.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
You don't know where you're here on a journey.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
What is something you think is underrated?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Underrated? I think you know, I just went to a
barbecue yesterday, and I think the the humble crud de
tae tray really underrated. Sometimes times you're like a like
a summer event and you just are like, we know'd
be good. It would be like a like a cold vegetable.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
A cucumber spear right now, Yes, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I had a great cucumber spear.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
And I always go, do you what's your order? When
you're going down the crudite tray of your like, I
don't give a fuck if I'm leaving any.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, I mean cucumber. I know you don't only see that.
You don't only see cucumber. So I loaded up on that,
and they also had like red pepper like the little.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Or the pepper.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Were they slivered? Were they they were slivery?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
But you know they're kind of like curly.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah. Yeah, there's something about red peppers that I enjoy
in practice, but I don't like in theory. I'm like,
I'm not gonna like that. They're always delicious, Yeah, they're fine.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Do you know that the bell pepper it's just one
type of pepper at three different types of ripeness.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
That can't be true.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's true, green pepper, red pepper, orange pepper. It's all
one pepper.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
So it's what are they ripening towards? Is it orange?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's im sure?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Actually, what the.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
What starts off green? Right and then goes to red?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's my gas?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Wait so then yeah, what you know?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Lemons and limes are also same. Lemon limes are just
unripened lemons.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I've gone down the lemon the lemon hole before.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh no, and please do not google that. Yeah, Lemon Party.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
You're just talking about the U two song off the
album Z.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
We were just talking about like earlier. That's that's kind
of one of the few you two songs.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
The Berlin era, that's that's a great time.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, that stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Do we know what? Wait, what's the what is an end?
Stage bell pepper? Exactly?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
And do we hear that?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'm just asking.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Stage bell pepper? Is that even like what comes up
the final ripening phase when it changed green to its
mature color red, yellow or orange? I see, I see,
I see.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Now you can go out and blow mines all week
with this fact.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Did you know that there's six vegetables all the same plant?
It's kale? Okay, this was This is a fact I
vaguely remembered, and I found the cool Guides Reddit that
I had found it on kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower,
and cole Robbie.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's the brassica.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
That's the mustard plant.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Dang, shut up, wild mustard.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Over hundreds of years, farmers have been breeding one plant
into dozens of different varieties. So it's not like you're
just cutting off different parts of the same plant today.
It's just that they all derived from the same plant.
But when I first learned that fact, I thought it
was just like whoa, So, kale is just the leaves
at the bottom of cabbage and Brussels sprouts coming off

(04:58):
a different part of that same.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I saw a banana plant recently with like the crazy flower.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's just like.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Fruit is crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Fruit is crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, lemons is the lemon we have now is bread
from like a hundred different types of lemon.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
I feel like most of our vegetables are are right
because I feel like every time I want to see
what ancient carrot.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Looks like, Yeah, there's like fruit and vegetable eugenics a
little bit where they're like we'll take this lemon that's sweet,
and we'll mix it with this lemon that's tart, and
then we'll get the ultimate lemon. But it is like
most original lemons are like inedible, most most original everything thing.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, let you genesists frolic in, you know, the in
the plant world.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
And I saw something really crazy that was like a
giant banana. It was like a really big banana that
is oh my god, like like.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Like it was not talking plantain, you're talking no.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
It was like this guy looked like he's eating like
a mission burrito on s.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yes, it was like a thick.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, my guy like from like taking bites outside like
it's a fucking.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Apple, Like it's a tree like a fucking because you can't.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Get your mouth around that without looking like you're in
some sort of fetish video.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I can spend all day just reading about things you
never heard of.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean bananas and corn are my
two favorite because you see what they started as and
they're like little and don't look at all like that,
and then you realize that they like bred them specifically
marketing to be giant dicks in both cases, like if
it was bigger and more dickish.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Actually know, this is actually pretty efficient for growth. No, no,
it needs to be thicker, like thicker bick just like
I want stretch marks around my mouth.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
When I meet one of these things, what just just
just go with the next one.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Nothing, nothing more delicious, is what I said, Greta. What's
something you think is overrated?

Speaker 6 (07:12):
Air pods?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, I'm just.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Like yes, okay, well what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
What about it?

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Just having a headphone in the small.

Speaker 7 (07:23):
Yeah, they fall they fall out, they die. It's like also,
I say, you know why I hate it because now
all the noise canceling. First of all noise canceling shit,
I think is really dangerous. And where I live in
La like I live in the hills and like it's
windy roads. And when you're walking your dog in the
middle of the fucking street and you have your noise

(07:46):
canceling air I'm and then I honk at you because
I don't want to hate you, and I also have
a place to be.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
And then you look at me like I did.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Something have some situational awareness.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
Well maybe if you weren't wearing your stupid air pods,
you would hear a car coming.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Down the road. You are on an active street.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
You don't need noise canceling while walking, Like, well, so I.

Speaker 8 (08:11):
Feel like it's just like a rape encouragement. And like
anytime I jog late or whatever. Now pods, Yeah, I
just constantly have to do this because I'm like, I'm
not sure is anyone behind me, and I hate it.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
That's why they have transparency mode though.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
You know what I mean As I'm holding these are
the old air pods. Now here's another thing. These have
made us too comfortable to take calls inside.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
You're like, you don't have the cord, you.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
Have nothing to navigate, so then all of a sudden
you're at the grocery, so you're having a full on
like do because it gives it's the illusion of being like, oh,
it's just.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
In my ear.

Speaker 7 (08:55):
I'm not bothering anyone. I'm just like living my life
whatever you are bothering me.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was at the store. I was
at the store getting groceries, and then this dude was
talking so loud about like a humiliating meetup with his ex,
like so loud, and thought he was like low, just
chatting with his friend. And he's like, and I saw
him and it has been like maybe like a month
since we broke up, and like, and I was looking good.

(09:20):
I go in there. He's like and just describes this
person's like with another person barely noticed him. It's like
and they were like, I was just so I didn't
even know what to do, like and they were so
embarrassed that our part of me was like, do this
ship in your car. Okay, I'm trying to buy frozen
waffles and I have to hear about this shit.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, Okay, I get that. I get I love noise canceling, though,
just when it's needed right, like in the right context,
we need to like cocoon away.

Speaker 8 (09:44):
And yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
If you're at an airplane.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
Like, to me, the only time it's acceptable is when
you are yeah, like when you're cocooned, when you're like
not in the world and you're not really interacting with
it anyone. You're just like I'm in my little cocoon, right.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, I think it's interesting too. Just I was thinking
of like when I was biking a lot more and
listening to music. I like, initially I had noise canceling
on because I could hear the music better. And then
I did that for one day because at one point
I just did not realize a car was behind me,
and I was like, oh, yeah, this is how I
end up like on a fucking a pile of candles

(10:23):
at the side of the road. I'm not doing that.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
Yeah, it's fucking dangerous. It's just now you're remembered as
a bunch of teddy bears, right.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know what is something that you think is underrated?

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Underrated? Is the smell?

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Oh I love it, to go ahead.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
The smell of cowshit manure is underrated. Yeah, Like nobody
is like I love it, and they should be because
I love it. Maybe it's a pregnancy thing.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
It's no do you know.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
At all don't you think.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
It's like kind of intoxicating in a good way?

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yes, Oh, interesting, this is I know what you're saying.
I'm not turned off by I'm like manure. It's not like.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Exactly, It's like, I'm not saying we should have perfume
that smells like that, but like, I'm into it. I
could handle more if it was around.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I could handle more.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Is so weird? I could handle more. You give me
more manure.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm not stuck in here with the smell of manure,
stuck in shrinking it up. I have the same feeling
about horseship. To be honest with you, you like it.
I kind of like it because it reminds me of
New York in the winter when you like smell, you know,
the carriage horses.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Totally. Yeah, it's intoxicated for you.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
It's a sense memory.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
So but I think that's also the same thing with
the cowship for me, because I'm also not offended by cowship.
But it is least the least offensive ship.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
It's evoking cold New York, and what's manure evoking?

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Free? It's pleasure.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
You grow Did you grow up visiting a p.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
In the middle of no farms? Around, just a freaky neighbor.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
It's just it's just a nice smell, yeah, like roses, roses.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, okay, so you just like naturally it hits you
like as long as you remember. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
as long as I remember.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I mean when you say that, I'm like, every time
I smell manure, it reminds me of like the new
school year where they were like making sure like the
big field that we played on, like wasn't all fucked
up or like it was like a remnant of like
the summer rehab of the playground.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
I don't. I definitely I'm not. I'm not like gross manure.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
So fertilizer sometimes sucks, I would say, but like when
it's pure pure here, cowshit.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Well you grew up like you grew up around that
kind of shit like I've been.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, I've spent some time on fue out here exactly
looking for mushrooms.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Cowshit.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
What's something you think is overrated? What kind of ship smell?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
It's not smell related. I think being productive is overrated.
Like now that I'm not productive, I'm like, ah, this rules.
We should all be lazy pieces of ship.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Were you before a busy body.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Oh my god, like working on a book and a
screenplay and like it's just like what befo.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, now you're like, what is I giving you, like
a new like philosophical view or you're just more kind
of like I can't beat myself up out of quote
unquote productivity because I am ges stating.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, I think that's what it is. I think now
I get to not do anything, and I'm like, our bodies, okay,
if I'm doing triple the work right now because I'm
growing a human, but even not when not, You're just like,
it's resting, is beautiful. We don't need to We don't
need to do so much.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
And will you take this with you once the child
is here?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
No, right, that baby is on a fucking spreadsheet to
say it's not hitting its mark. It's one week markers.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, they've got that.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Oh yeah yeah. By the way, I don't know if
you checked out the popes in Cyclical, but uh kind
of about this. The Pope is also making this his
overrated for the day. Productivity just wrote a big thing
about uh anti ai thing and like one of the
things he was like, everybody trying to optimize humans makes

(14:42):
us less human.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
It like makes us be like the concept that we
need there's a need for optimization, would already begin to
say that, like, oh, so we are starting at the.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Point basic assumption is like that humanity is flawed because
it's not productive enough, and that takes us to this
AI bullshit.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Well, I'm in tune with the Pope.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
I guess so far. I just think that everything's gotten
so bad and like so concentrates. It's like this black
hole of fucking you know, billionaires and like AI people
and ship that are just like all condensed over here,
and everyone else is just over here describing it and
be like and so like now we're all on the

(15:23):
same side with the Pope. The Pope kind of ate
with that one, like sort of yeah, bars spitting truth. Yeah,
it's a weird world.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
What's he said about gay people? Though? You know that's
that's that's when he's really going to.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Okay, he said, sorry, sorry for slavery.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Uh he okay, he said he welcomes everybody, but he's
like it's highly unlikely that church teaching on it will change.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, all right, last pope said, who am I to judge?
Who am I to Oh? The pope. That's right, you're
going to hell. Oh my bad, I forgot.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
That's why I'll leave that up to one of the saints.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
I wrote a little scene the other day about the
pope committing suicide in the Sistine Chapel, and this is
just this.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Is part of your product.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Again. I'm just saying, like, what's coming through the baby
like we might have an omen situation.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Maybe cut this part out.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I just love that, just like, guide my fingers, finger,
open your eyes and there's just a detailed scene.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
You wake up, honey, your peas are done, my frozenie.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
What have I written?

Speaker 1 (16:52):
My God, Jesus, Let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back to talk about some news.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
And we're back. Aaron Brockovich is back in the news.
I heard about Aaron Brockovich because after the fires, she
was like out here being like, hey, we got to
figure out what the utility companies are up to them. Like,
there's Aaron Rokovic trying to help people out who lost.
She's always on her grizzy as it were, so the

(17:29):
environmental activists and obviously one time Julia Roberts character uh
just launched the Brokovich AI Data center reporting website which
tracks AI data centers being built across the country, and
so like maps some now you can you can basically
like look between things that are operating, things that are
being built actively, things that are being proposed. Again, just

(17:51):
to have spread a bit of awareness about the scourge
of AI data centers across the country, well was I
did not know this, but according to her website quote,
the vast majority of AI data center reports are in Texas,
wapping six hundred and twelve reports Sulfur Springs, Texas alone
as two hundred and ninety seven data center reports, which
I'm like, holy shit, but that.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Tracks to me, I mean, textally biggest.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
State and very friendly to techt stuff like that for sure.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Elon's little Heidi hole, Yeah you know, I mean.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
And also it's like they are they have been pillaging
that land for forever.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah yeah yeah. So like part of me is like,
why in the world would someone with a history of
protecting innocent people from corporate harm go after AI data centers.
I just don't has she made a studio ghibbli meme
of herself? Doesn't she know this is additive? Is it
the water consumption?

Speaker 6 (18:48):
I think this is the water?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Is it a pollution?

Speaker 7 (18:50):
It's fitting water water crisis, and yeah, like toxic waste pollution.

Speaker 8 (18:56):
Isn't that The sound vibration from the shit is literally
making people fell sick.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
And also like the wildlife is it? That?

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
The Is it the complete re routing of resources away
from people and residents to a fucking big room that
just needs water to stay cool?

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (19:12):
That is that?

Speaker 4 (19:12):
It's Aaron, I don't know what is what.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Is the e waste? But yeah, one thing that is
it's worth pointing out. Though she's not like fully against
d AI because on her website she well, just more than
she is saying website, yeah right, yeah, like the picture
of hers all off, she's like, you got seven fingers
when you're raising that fist. But on her website it

(19:41):
says that it's like she points out that for data
it's important to quote have sustainable, secure and efficient AI
data centered practices. So I think she she knows how
her bread's buttered. She's like, look, I'm gonna I'll call
him out. If there's a way you can do it
that isn't all like harmful to the environment and he beings,
then maybe, But when I read that one. I was like, huh,

(20:03):
that's interesting.

Speaker 8 (20:05):
I think this is like when the garment workers' unions
were starting, you know, and it's like the basic things
they were asking for is like, hey, if there's a fire,
could we like have a door to leave we don't
burn inside.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
You know.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
They weren't like, let's get rid of all of this
fucking fucked up slave labor situation. They're like, can we
start with not dying from a fire at work?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah? Right?

Speaker 4 (20:28):
So I feel like she's starting, you know, small.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
And I say that sarcastically, because of course, people's safety, right, everything,
it's not small, But I mean the fact that she's
not going to get people all up on their hukals
being like what you're trying to cancel data?

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. It's like no, no, no, no,
I'm just saying no, guys, I think it's so fucking cool, dude.
I actually think it's really fucking chill. It's like, there's
just such a.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
Better way to do it.

Speaker 8 (20:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So what do you want to be
the first guy that figured it out? And like all
the other guys are like, oh my god, but you's
like so strong and hot and has like a big
penis what do you guys think?

Speaker 6 (21:12):
Really say, what do you guys think is so funny?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
You say, yeah, agree, yeah, so we shall see. Meanwhile,
we may be seeing I don't know if we are,
but old Senile Grandpa in the White House has been
really pushing employees at the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving
and Printing to design a two hundred fifty dollars bill

(21:38):
featuring his face.

Speaker 8 (21:40):
Why two hundred and fifty dollars the most common denomination,
greta obviously accounts of cocaine.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
You want to fifty dollars? You want two hundred and
fifties on?

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yeah, right, right, right, right, right right right sorry.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
So I've been so disillusioned that I've been buying my
cocaine twenty dollars.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Mill and five oh buys.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
Yeah, and he had too fitty because that's like the
minimum for an hour with this one lady that I
hang out with, right, so everything shall be into fifty.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Just one bill rather than a fat envelope with cass
But I mean it's because of the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the country the semi quincent semi Quincenter Quincentennial,
got it, Okay, So that's why the number two.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Run of two hundred and fifty dollars bills, Like what
is it just like a commemorative thing, Like he is
so cracked.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, I mean the picture that they're using for the
bill looks like fucking it looks like fucking Vigo the
Carpathian from Ghostbusters.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
It's like it's Ai speaking.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Of there are many perks living God, that's it's Vegle.
It's President Trump.

Speaker 7 (22:55):
It's so spooky and actually the dumbest thing I've ever
in my life. Like I would rather I would rather
him be like we need twenty five dollar bills?

Speaker 6 (23:08):
Yeah, sure, yeah you get mind to twenty five.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Dollar bill maybe, but even then right, like it's just
for his ego. And I think this is the way
that they keep Trump occupied is to be like like,
if we allow him to keep doing stuff with war,
he's going to make even worse decisions than Pete Hegsath somehow.
So there's like you want you want to be on money, dude,
you want to be on money. You want to build
a golf course.

Speaker 8 (23:29):
And he's like you give a kid markers that they
don't know are like wash the bone, and you're like, yeah,
go ahead and paint on the wall day go crazy.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
And they're like, oh, look at me, I'm a bad boy.
You're like, just play with that.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah. So there are concerns about putting Trump on a
new bill that doesn't exist, mainly because federal law does
not allow living people to appear on bills, only the dead.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
Here's a question, if you got to make a bill
for yourself, what bill would you be?

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Oh? Man, I honestly I love the two dollar bill
that blew my mind as a kid because I remember
I thought my grandfather was lying to me when he
said there was a two dollar bills Like.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I thought they were fake too.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah yeah, And he bought like a stack of them
out and I was like, what the.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Are really cool? I still think they're cool.

Speaker 7 (24:23):
Like my husband has one and I'm like, oh, this
is really cool.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
I'm a cool guy.

Speaker 9 (24:30):
Bill.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
You know, you sound like you're.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
On a date and college or something.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Doroom two dollar bill? You get right?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
So, hey, is it cool if like I borrow this
like I'm going to an event?

Speaker 6 (24:46):
Yeah, eat it.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
You're not even gonna watch just like my hoodies, you're
not going to give it back? No, I don't think so.
I'm gonna have to keep the two dollar bill right here.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
So yeah, you guys have to go seven.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Oh like that.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
You know you're creating like a nine dollars bill, you're
creating some of no one asked.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yeah, or like a prime number, like a seventeen dollars bill.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
A dollar bill, you want eleven dollars? Yeah, here you go.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
Oh, because I'm out here helping people buying stuff for
ten ninety nine?

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Where the fuck were you all went?

Speaker 3 (25:24):
And then you say keep the change?

Speaker 4 (25:26):
You feel exactly exactly?

Speaker 3 (25:28):
So yeah, the administration has been uh like really coming
down on the employees there, just constantly being like, so,
what what's up? Like can you do it? Can you
do it? Can you do it? What is it like?
One staff member was quote abruptly reassigned from her post
after explaining that quote currency often takes six to eight
years to produce a new bill, particularly one of such

(25:52):
high value. She told them, we're not authorized to do this.
We can't progress any further, and all the stakeholders have
not even meant to just gus the next steps and
then after that they're like, get her out. Yeah. She
like then posted like a few days later that she
was leaving with quote a heavy heart. And this is
the thing. This isn't the fucking first Like, there's a
reason why you have to be dead to appear on

(26:14):
a bill, because apparently, in back in eighteen sixty six,
a mid level Treasury bureaucrat named Spencer m clark put
his own damn face on a five cent note without authorization,
which is kind of a stunt. I'm I kind of
fuck with that. He's like, Yo, you see you, bro,
you see my five cent bills? Bro, Yeah that's me.
Those are real, Bro, those are real. I did it

(26:36):
at work. Nobody was there, got the print of myself.

Speaker 10 (26:38):
You know.

Speaker 8 (26:39):
This reminds me of like in the Jewish tradition, you
can't name like a baby after someone that's still living.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So I feel like it's kind of
hilarious that the tradition is the same.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
You gotta be you gotta be dead, you want to
be Okay, fine, I've got to be dead. Is that's
what it's gonna take to get my face on the bill?

Speaker 6 (27:00):
I mean, you're like, great, good.

Speaker 8 (27:02):
No, one's saying anything, but we're saying, like, you know,
I hope you get that bill, girl, Yeah, get that.

Speaker 7 (27:07):
Bill, get after it, do whatever it takes, do whatever
it takes.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Love that for you, Love that for you.

Speaker 8 (27:13):
Yeah, death, bitch ass, death stand in the way of
your bill.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Come on, and that's why you never sleep, right, because
sleep is the cousin to death. Exactly shout out nose.
But I think there is I don't know, like this
week is it is interesting that they're like you have
to be dead to be on a bill, but also
like he had that like like you know, he had
his fourth medical checkup this week at a hospital. And
then also like there are all these people on like

(27:39):
I forget. Maybe it's one of the doctors on seeing
and he's like do this guy. I think he's a
heart problem or something, and the White House like, no,
shut the fuck up. You don't know anything about dad.

Speaker 8 (27:49):
So we could pass like a chill little law where
it's like if your face is decaying, like if your
neck is falling off, of your neck, like you don't
get to be on a bill.

Speaker 7 (28:00):
That's awesome. I think it's awesome that his neck is
falling off.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah, yeah, I kind of like it.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
It looks I see it, but on.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
The feel it makes me feel good and safe.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah, it makes me feel like.

Speaker 6 (28:11):
I feel good and safe.

Speaker 7 (28:12):
When I look at him, I say healthy, I feel good,
I feel safe.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Right, Because it's all in comparison, in which case I go,
I am a living god compared to this pile of
lunch meat with orange paint on it. All right, let's
move on to another fucking freak in the White House.
So the Democrats they they've they've noticed something about Steven Miller.
So Stephen Miller quote tweeted the Democrats recent post about

(28:38):
the Texas Senate candidate James Tyllarrico tyl Rico by falsely
claiming again, so like they posted this thing and just
said fired up, ready to go, It's time to take
back Texas with tallerco standing in front of the Texas flag.
And then Stephen Miller quote treated that and posted the
Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender

(28:59):
senate candidate. What what what.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
Huh that he's like owning him or something?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, I'm sure, because again, all these people know as
an insult is to call someone trans. And then they
think like that's that's just gonna fucking send them, that's
gonna do numbers. And then the Democrats replied and they
clap back, and they just at the Democrats like, look,
shut up, you ugly fuck. Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
I'm obsessed with that.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
That's so funny, fun that's good.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
That's all we have, though, This is all we fucking
have is gonna shut up, you ugly fuck.

Speaker 8 (29:43):
And like the thing is, no one was even trying
to put any work into like anything clever.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
They're just like so fed up.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
I mean, he needs to find out who's running that account.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, yeah, we no find out who's trust me. You
know who did that? Ugly Fuck's wife, Katie Miller. So
she got on. She posted fucking docs to the person
running the account. She said, Paulina Mangabat is who runs
at democrats account. She's thirty, unmarried with no kids. Put
your name on it next time. This is what a sad,

(30:15):
unhappy female liberal looks like. It's why Pugh reports fifty
percent of them have been diagnosed with a mental condition.
The thing is, I'm saying her name Paulina and Mangabat
because she already put her name on that shit. Okay,
she's already she's already doing victory dances for that post.
She posted. Right after that, she goes team just ratio

(30:35):
Stephen Miller, who is ugly, evil, cruel and bald. Now,
hold on, bro, you can be.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Bald whatever mean, it could be great.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Follow we're out here. Yeah, you don't got to do
all that.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Here's what I'll say you are.

Speaker 7 (30:50):
If you are a kind spirited bald man, nothing is sexier.
If you are a mean, spirited, rotted bald man.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
You're an ugly fuck.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
An ugly fuck.

Speaker 8 (31:01):
Yea, yeah, it's like a Derek Fisher versus Stephen Miller's situation.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Wow. Yeah in deep cut. So then she then she
replied to Katie Miller about the thing about being unmarried.
This is what Paulina Mangobat postede just a picture of
her in a Really I got to say, I want
to get your thoughts, Sophia. We talked about wedding dresses
a lot on night she said. This was her posted
with her upcoming dress. She said, well, now it seems

(31:26):
like a good time to share that I am getting married.
We just put down the deposit on the venue and
I bought my dress. I didn't end up picking this one,
but I thought it looked nice.

Speaker 8 (31:33):
So she's like, yeah, that's so funny, Like she does
look nice, but also, can we stop getting making getting
married be like some sort of a status.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
It's so pathetic.

Speaker 7 (31:45):
Also, like, sorry, Stephen Miller's wife, Like, you let his
penis inside you?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
You need help, Seriously.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
You're letting that man breathe on you. Oh you need
God is really what you need?

Speaker 3 (32:03):
God has left the building, unfortunately, left.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
That household for damn sure.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
His his toxic seed has spilled into her multiple times,
and that, unfortunately is why she's lost. I mean, look,
she's gonna come for my ass now, yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Right, Gretta will be here insulting her.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah yeah. I mean like when she said on one
of the episodes, I think it was a jd vance
about how Stephen Miller loves mayonnaise and just eats mannise
everything with mayonnaise. I was like, you can't keep telling
on yourself that you were the most the stupidest person
ever to be like yeah, he's like she's like, he's
a sexual matador and like giggles about that, like he

(32:51):
ain't matador. Yeah, she said that to Jesse, he's.

Speaker 6 (32:56):
A sexual matador.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
He said that Jesse Jesse Waters called him that, and
when she when she was on his show, she was like,
oh time, my husband the sexual matador, and they both
broke out laughing, like yeah, but I don't even.

Speaker 7 (33:11):
Know, I've never heard Is that a term? I've never
heard of anyone be described as a sexual matador? Does
he know what a matador does? Avoids avoids the big bully?

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Yeah, so you keep tricking the person you're fucking with
a red blanket right until they're really tired and upset.
I don't think what exactly what do you think at
the end that the bull and the matador fuck? Is
that what?

Speaker 6 (33:40):
That's most certainly not what happens.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
You stab it a bunch and then fuck it right
when and then.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
A matador typically gets really injured.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
At some point.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
There was that one dude recently who got gored up
his bunghole.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah you did, well, that's probably what he what he meant.
I love the idea of this person just reading.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
Like sexual because he gets five lines of Hemingway and
just being like, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
He focks the bull.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
So crazy.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
The sun also rises. I get it.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Yeah about the you know, mad fucking the ball, Yeah,
absolutely totally.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
What a classic.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
And then it's just it's interesting that like everyone's like,
oh ship, like they're the globes are coming off for
the Democrats. It's like, what is this the line that
the Democrats said, like you could have been calling him
what ugly telling him to shut the fuck up like
ages ago, he's a Nazi piece of ship.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
Well, I think.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
It's because it's like to the point of top, like
it's so not clever. It's just really just like shut
the fuck up ugly essentially, and it's like there is
something that feels I think.

Speaker 6 (34:49):
Because it's cute. It's not trying to be Yeah, it's
like straight up shut.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Up, you know their primal y.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah. The Republicans are like they're doing so much because
after Ken Paxton won the runoff to go against Tallarico,
they're just like they really their attacks on him are
so fucking stupid. This is what the rn C the
chairman said about like James Tallerico, because he was being
asked on Newsmax. He's like, man, like he's really popular,

(35:19):
Like how do you how do you ensure as the
head of the rn C that you know, Texas maintains
that Republican Senate seat.

Speaker 9 (35:26):
Paxon's win could be what hands the Democrats that Senate
seat in November because they're saying that Paxson is a
flawed candidate. What do you think, how do Republicans keep
this seat red?

Speaker 11 (35:39):
We keep it read because Talafreco is a and he
thinks he's a vegan, he thinks God is non binary,
he wants to be late children, and he wants but
boys and girls locker room people are.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Done with that.

Speaker 11 (35:52):
Then so if he looked at the autopsy of the
Democrats put out, it's simple all those things and the
fact that they.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Were no, sir, there was really nothing the autopsy that
the Democrats put out that was actionable.

Speaker 8 (36:07):
Such a l it's also such a good nickname.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
I was fucking wrong. Yeah, I wouldn't sell if I.

Speaker 7 (36:19):
Was teler Rico's DJ name is Calafrico.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Oh hell yeah, exactly. You got a SoundCloud if you
look on SoundCloud that is his account.

Speaker 8 (36:26):
I would add all of my commercials with brought to
you by people trying to Yeah, people trying to elect Trek.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
It's just crazy that because Republicans can't point to policy
at all. They just have to go like it can't
be like he's advocating for like better healthcare in the
state or like not caging children. He's like, dude, this
guy is like a fucking freak who's like a creep
who's vegan, and like, well, there are a lot there's
been a lot put into that because like there's no
way a fucking vegan wins Texas. And you're like, I

(36:59):
don't know, Like the that's really interesting thinking if there's
like nineteen eighty eight or some shit like that, but like,
unfortunately people's material existence is far too precarious at the moment.
I think for people to be like I can't listen
to the guy he's vegan, although there are plenty of
people that will just tune it out because he is.
And then on Jesse, like Jesse Waters was talking to

(37:19):
Bennie Johnson, who like they keep talking about how Tallarico
has said he has had a girlfriend for many years,
but he's like, I'm not trying to have her out
in the limelight, and they're all basically like, oh, she
doesn't exist and trying to, you know, cast this persion
she go to school of Canada. Yes, Greg Guttfeld literally
said that, because this is an interesting thing when suddenly
Republican's like this guy doesn't have a girlfriend for many years,

(37:41):
like Lindsey Graham, you have the same energy for that,
or only when it's you weaponize like your homophobia for
your own political game. So here's Bennie Johnson, the famous
fucking liar who again we all remember what happened to
Bennie Johnson.

Speaker 10 (37:56):
My infant nearly died in a drug fire after mass shooting.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
I don't know how that works, but here he is
now saying.

Speaker 8 (38:05):
Upon a calamity, upon a calamity, sorry, in a in.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
A drug fire.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Wait what this is?

Speaker 3 (38:13):
When this is a this is a cannon for the show.
So when the when the ice raids and the Feds
were raiding, like the police surge in DC, all of
like the propagandas were like DC is so fucked up, guys,
like I don't know if you've ever been there, it's
so fucked up. I'm like, it's not have you actually.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Been there there my home, my hometown.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah, I was like yeah, like her majesty just on
the other side from Tacoma Park. I go to d
C at least once or twice a year. Lovely place.
So he was basically saying, like, it's a shithole. He's like,
because when I moved there, you don't know what happened
to me.

Speaker 10 (38:47):
My infant nearly does in a drug fire. After mass shootings.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Again, there's so many shootings.

Speaker 8 (38:55):
How many mass mass was your How many mass shootings
was your infant.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
In many mass shooting? My mass is an og disciple? Okay,
that's what happened anyway. So here is Bennie Johnson and.

Speaker 8 (39:10):
Jesse the hospital room, y'all, Yeah, right, free stupid.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Here's here's Benny Johnson and Jesse Waters. But we're stuck
with James Tallerrico.

Speaker 10 (39:20):
And I'm no political consultant Jesse, but here's three things
you could ask him to defeat him on a debate stage.
He says, there's six genders, Well why don't you name them?
You say you have a girlfriend, why don't you name her?

Speaker 3 (39:32):
And you say that.

Speaker 10 (39:32):
Jesus is pro abortion, So how do you square that
with thou shalt not kill?

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Oh? Got him?

Speaker 3 (39:38):
There's like another clip I'd play with Jesse Waters and
everyone be like, who's this groofer this, but it's so stupid.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
I can't even watch this ship, Like how people how
you do this every day and look at how fucking
stupid these people are.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Therapy Yeah yeah, yeah, get out of the country. Yeah,
much as it will be English. Yeah. So anyway, this
is the state. This is what's happened. Because also, really
the reason they're trying to just they're all in attack
mode on Tayrico obviously because he's the candidate, the Democratic candidate,

(40:14):
but they are worried because the guy he's running against,
Ken Paxton, is not a He's not a good candidate
at all, even by their own MAGA standards. So they're like, fuck, man,
we're fucked. We might as well just start tearing this
guy down in any way we can't.

Speaker 6 (40:29):
Everyone hates him.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yeah, no, you hate to see it, all right, let's
take a quick break and we'll come back for another
thing we hate to see is that the America's two
hundred and fiftieth Birthday Party musical concert is a fucking
l already. No, but we'll find out after.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
This and we're back.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
We're back, and uh yeah, another dog shut somebody I
don't know, I don't know. Another about this, No big deal. Yeah,
so there's a new story about a shooting outside of
Nebraska convenience store that has gone viral because gun violence
is so uncommon in the United States that people can't know.
That's not why. The reason is because the shooter was

(41:18):
a dog.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Breed.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Please don't be a German.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Shepherd please, I don't have the breed.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Actually I need to know.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
I mean not to put you on the spot, but
it's like, was it a Pomeranian.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
That would be hilarious because you feel like you kind
of need small little hands to get in the trigger,
you know.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Oh interesting, Oh right, yeah, I instantly assumed it was
a big one.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
But yeah, let me actually, let me try. And I'm
sure there's like a local news piece on this, and
I think that's that'll give us stick.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
It's like, if it's gonna happen, let it be a
Wiener dog or something fun.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Like I go on this way, the other I go
on that way. You look up with your arm like wounded.
It's just laughing at you, panting.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Okay, here's a news report on it.

Speaker 12 (42:19):
Here, we gos luve please are investigating an accidental shotgun
discharge at a convenience store. Please say officers were called
just afternoon Saturday to the shortstop on Avenue I first
reported as a BB gun shooting, but later confirmed to
involve a shotgun. Oh my, say the owner of a
pickup with a camper had stop to shop when a
dog in the back seat moved and apparently triggered a

(42:42):
loaded shotgun, firing into the passenger side door panel. One
pellet struck a woman who was stopped at a nearby
light with her arm out of the window. But you
say her injury is not believed to be life threatening
and she was taken to Regional West Medical Center. Please
also remind the public it's illegal under Nebraska law to
travel with a loaded shotgun.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Loaded and cocked shotgun. What the fuck?

Speaker 10 (43:06):
Sad?

Speaker 4 (43:06):
I want a mug shot?

Speaker 3 (43:12):
We deserved that. We deserve that for I mean, for
local news, we always get to see the person who's
the bad guy. I feel like even a stock image
of like a Golden Retriever would have just added some
like levity to the story. But I've seen pets and
Pets United. I don't think I don't think this was
an accident. Oh yes, I think this dog, you know interesting,

(43:33):
you think.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
Had hate in its heart?

Speaker 5 (43:35):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Yeah, absolutely. It's just crazy though too, Like when it
said the guy was in his car and he got
out and then the dog just just blew the door,
just shot through the fucking door.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Can you imagine how confusing that would be? Did he
just basically have everyone involved?

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Does he ride with a loaded shotgun on his lap?

Speaker 1 (43:53):
In shotgun?

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:54):
I think, wow, oh truly like it's shotgun.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Meant, hey, Mondy, my dog, your shotgun now. So if
there's any bandits, I need you to be able to,
you know, repel them with this shotgun.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Dogs shooting people happens with some regularity in the US. Unfortunately,
this is this is not a first. Last November, a
guy in Pennsylvania said his dog shot him after he
was cleaning a shotgun put it down on his bed.
Which I'm no expert, but shouldn't you not have a

(44:27):
loaded gun like that? You're not supposed to be like
all right, time to load, time to clean the gun.
Let me just load it up and cock it.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
I mean most people, It sounds like people's gun safety
habits are really bad in this country. Yes, like so
many loaded guns that aren't kept away like people have.
Just yeah, it's not surprising. I'm surprised there aren't more
dogs shooting.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Than Simpsons scene where he kept keeps stepping on rakes.
But it's just shotguns every Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
Yeah, as long as they don't shoot themselves, that's all.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
That's all I asked for.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
Everybody else deserves it. Yeah, not everybody else, but the
people that have the loaded gun and the dog on.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Your speaking through you again, everybody.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Like, oh my god, okay, okay easy.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
In twenty fifteen, the Washington Post report on this trend.
After a chocolate lab, we have a breed, why do
they Why do we know that it's the brown dog?
That's their specific ones are golden retrievers.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yeah, exactly, a beautiful snow white husky would never do.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
This, right, exactly, blue eyed, but chocolate lab. Chocolate lab,
appropriately named Trigger, accidentally shot an Indiana woman in the
foot during a hunting trip. They found that at least
ten other Americans had been shot by dogs between two
thousand and four and twenty fifteen.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
Yeah, I mean then you add to that, you go
up level. It's like, you know, just any like so
many kids accidentally shooting guns off in their homes. Yeah,
and injuring each other.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
But yeah, just.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
More justice for chocolate laps. This feels like that feels
like trigger, you know what I mean, that rhymes with
a questionable word. I don't like where this is going.
But justice for justice for trigger.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Yeah, you know. Anyways, just another thing to worry about
as you're walking around the street of the United States.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Yeah, yeah, this is a little bit more of a
concern than the toenails down.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
And the lady who he shot, he was had her
hands sticking out the window. You know, she was ripping
a sig.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, it's sad. Well wait, I guess would be left handed.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yeahbe like an anti smoking ts.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Yeah, so what happens we have your arm hanging out
of the car door. You can get shot by a
dog with some buckshot. Oh you don't think you don't know,
And that was your smoking hand that got hit.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
She's gonna have to learn how to smoke all over again.
She was smoking like like, I wouldn't recommend that with
your neck condition, Miles. No, I'm John McCain. But with
the neck he wasn't.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
He wasn't going like this, And you're not gonna catch
me doing that.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Should we talk about school buses?

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Good, good, good, because that's what I wanted to pivot. Uh.
Company called bus Patrol is selling itself well no wait wait,
give it, give it a moment. Okay, selling itself as
an advanced AI power school bus safety program. Oh you
guys hate school bus safe? I didn't say anything.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
You try to get try to get me there?

Speaker 5 (47:41):
Interesting Meggan.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Presidential run. Yeah, my first if we were just spitballing
in here, what would be your first pitch for how
to make school buses safer?

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Not AI?

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Not AI.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
The seats are death traps.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
The seats are death traps.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Without seat you never want to see.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
You're just loose in there. It's on, just loose, like
we would have fun with that, like when you go
over a bump, you would like jump to the top
of the thing, like you know.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
I feel like I could summon about ten videos on
YouTube that are like a bus interior camera of like
a bus going over ship and there's kids just getting
fu launched inside there, and.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Then the driver comes back and is yelling at them,
but the car still school bus is still moving forward anyways,
So what it does the safety feature is a camera
that detects when vehicles illegally pass well the stopworm is extended, okay.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
Which, oh that's yeah, No, okay, so this is more
for the kids that are crossing, not inside.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Yeah, which we don't give a fuck about them, we don't. Yeah,
kids would just getting out of the bus and run
right across the.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Outside.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
And also it's not stopping the cars that are coming
from the other I guess they can see the kids better. Anyways, Look,
I'm all for getting people to not speed past school
buses when the stop sign is out.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Perfect. Great.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
According to the company, more than forty thousand buses across
twenty four states have bus patrol cameras, and the crowd
school buses adopting this costly technology has been framed as
a big win in the press because it boosts safety
and brings in millions in revenue from people who endanger children.
I don't. I'm not going to go any further in

(49:31):
the story. I think this is a win win. Yeah,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
I don't even hear the AI part. Yeah, yeah, that's great.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
The cameras, there's not even a solution. It's just a camera.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
It's a camera, so they.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Get run over, the kids get run over, and it
just gets filmed.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
So that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
Yeah, yeah, and sold and a million company sells it
to Juke and Media. That's right, that used to license
viral clips.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
So this is a win for cops who get fed
information that allows them to issue tickets without doing anything.
And a recent Bloomberg investigation into one county's use of
the tech found no evidence of a decline in collisions
near stopped school buses, despite the fact that they shelled
out tens of million dollars for the technology. Now four
or four Media is reporting that there are plans for

(50:15):
bus patrol to partner even more closely with law enforcement,
handing over all their data, not just the plate numbers
of apparent offenders to the cops, likely without a warrant,
which would basically turn school buses into roaming surveillance vehicles.

Speaker 8 (50:31):
Right.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
That's where the AI comes oh to be like their
own flock camera. Now wory of like school bus surveillance.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Batman at the end of Dark Knight, just you got
eyes everywhere.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
I don't watch those Batman's because I didn't like how
much he moved his neck. I'm a kicking guy.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Yeah, so they'd be capturing the location of every vehicle
the bus's drive past and giving that data to law enforcement,
which is a significant change because like the AI cameras
AI PR cameras are up to this point in fixed position.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
It sounds like it's like evolving from a thing that
was an actually good idea, sure, and then because of
the AI hell world we're in, it's more like what
else can it do? And they're like, well, I mean
it's really just about like identifying when a car comes
out to keep kids, like when they're crossing their safe
It's like, yeah, but then can it store everyone's data?

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Right?

Speaker 3 (51:24):
And then that's another thing you can package and sell miles.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
It's almost like you've been doing a podcast that covers
the news for a number of years in this hellscape
that we live in. Because this shift to AI capturing
all information is all about revenue. An investment firm put
three hundred million dollars into bus patrol and has been
pushing the company to find alternate revenue screens. How are

(51:50):
we going to monetize these these children's deaths? I mean,
we can't make enough YouTube revenue off the collision videos
they keep taking down our damn video.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
I don't want to say this, but I'm gonna blame
the baby. I blame the baby. Line up, this is awful.
You might have to cut it because, like the lawyers
will say, no, line up all of the AI execs.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
And we know what. You don't have to even finish
it because we know what we want to do a
thing more money give them. Jesus said that. I actually
did go oh yeah, yeah, yeah Marksman.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Yeah, oh I was a way.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Yeah, give them a light pellet to the arm.

Speaker 4 (52:31):
That is what we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Get a dog up.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Yeah. Bus Patrol has already taken steps to share the
collected data with law enforcement contracting entity Axon. Oh again,
it's always a good like whether it's Exon or Axon,
a body spray on, it's all good. The company that
actively benefits from police militarization and expanding ice.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Yeah, they got were we just talking about them getting
a huge taser country.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Yeah, they got a big taser contract. And Donald Trump
invested in them right before he even knew. Yeah, he
was like, I don't know, I've got a good feeling.
It's a company that I'm about to give a three
billion dollars.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
Give him a contract. Yeah, let it go.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Damn damn, you're smart, sir.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
My dad got stopped by ice the other day.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Didn't really.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Yeah, it's like I like to tell it because it
feels amorphous until you're like, yeah, no, there's They stopped
him and he has luckily were immigrants, and he's been
going around with a picture of his passport on his
phone on like his phone screen inside, and he said
it was like five dudes with like masks screaming things
at him, and he like nearly shat his pants, but

(53:40):
they let him go once he showed that picture.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Right.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
But in downtown La, Yeah, that's correct.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
I mean so many parts of La, like it's their
whole ice of new strategy is like they're just trying
to like laser focus and be as low key as
possible because like when they were grown, pulling up in
groups and stuff, people are just so out there that
I mean now they're like using differ cars. There's so
many dirty fucking tactics. Like in Minneapolis, they were like
they're like we gotta fucking dress like we're in Minnesota, right,

(54:07):
Like that's what we need to look like arts and
like stop with the tax shit like first just blend
in and then do fuckery from them.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
And start going to protests and being like, I don't know,
I think these guys are pretty a yeah, also just
a just an idea, And this is crazy. But if
you want to make school buses safer, and you don't
want to put seatbelts on them, because that would be
fucking that would ruin the whole point, all the fun
I would of school buses, maybe pay school bus drivers, Well,

(54:39):
all right, you can't. So there's a massive shortage of
school bus drivers in the US. They're around twenty one
to twenty one two hundred fewer drivers on the road
than before the pandemic, and local governments have been saving
money by outsourcing school transit to private contractors. Just led

(54:59):
to a significant and pay and benefits for drivers school
Like when I was young, I'm pretty sure the school
bus driver that drove me to school was a full
time bus driver, Like that was.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
What they did on Marvis. That was our bus driver.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
We we had a different one every every day year.
We were just going through.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
Yeah, my friend during college, I had a friend who
drove a school bus for disabled kids and took rooms
every day.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Yeah, as it should be like auto from there. He was, well,
you see in these trails like he's just waving his
hand in front of his face the whole time.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
But yeah, now it's like getting an uber or whatever
essentially is like you're gonna have a different one every
day because they're just kind of patchworking it together based
on people like doing side hustles. That's just so.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Fucking like it's just everything that's about kids safety that
gets always like no, no, no, no, fucking don't pay them.
Oh what are they teaching that they're fucking driving them?

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Give them shrooms or something.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Yeah, went more loose guns in there too.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Could we just throw a handful of guns like their jacks? Yeah,
that's a fun game kids still play, right, Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
With the super bawl?

Speaker 5 (56:14):
How do you can you pick up?

Speaker 3 (56:16):
You're still called a super ball. That's what my dad
called it.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
As a kid, I was called a bouncy ball.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
I think in the fifties that like one of the
first rubber balls was like a super ball or something.
And it's like it's like clean good marketing. But then
you sound like a boomer to your friends. They all
had superpowers, like Jesus no, what doesn't nineteen sixty four.
The super Balls created nineteen sixty four by Whammo Wammo.
So shout out super shout out the super Ball.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
Whamo. If they played their cards right, would own everything
right now. They had the super Bowl, they had the Frisbee.
They had Oh wow, did I think so? God Damnamo
Wamo was running shit.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
My husband loves the frisbee and it kind of depresses.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Me a little bit. There's a board.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
It's boring. You just throw a thing and then you
throw it back.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
Did you really launch that thing?

Speaker 4 (57:03):
Yeah, he's good.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
He's good.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Oh okay, So now around now.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
That I'm thinking about it, Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Oh yeah, he does the X step. That's say you know,
he's serious.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
I come on this podcast to like work out my kinks.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Now you're like, I'm actually really in their frizzy play
launches that thing to the horizon.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Oh the hula hoop. They also had a hula hoop.
Y Wammo all round. Things just dropped you guys. Everybody
was just waiting, just.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Like they sold a limbo kit in nineteen seventy and
in nineteen sixty two.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Did that It's awesome. They like did they have the
hoop with stick?

Speaker 3 (57:46):
No? No, okay, yeah there was another one. They also, Hey, Jackie,
like this. When the movie Jaws was released, they sold
plastic shark teeth, and I think that's when the fall
off really started for that sucks.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
Actually, now if you'd done the fake dark Finn where
you're freaking everybody ouse.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
Dude, this is crazy slip and slide?

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Yeah, like was really? Were you silly? String? How did they?
How are they not Disney today?

Speaker 4 (58:12):
Dad? They deserve more.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
It's probably like some white supremacists like owned it. Who
knows what happened, or just like the toy industry complex toys, Oh,
you know what, they just didn't modernize. They're just like, nope,
we've got a model and we're sticking to it. They're like, dude,
shit has batteries in it. Now lights up. They're like, no,
kids like plastic circle and you're like, all right, they don't.

(58:38):
They like fucking ninja Turtles now.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Stands for white AMMO. That's what that's the one thing
they believe that more AMMO for whites for white dogs.
All right, that's gonna do it. For this week's Weekly Zeitgeist,
please like and review the show. If you like the show,
uh means the world. De Miles. He needs your validation, folks.
