Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments
from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is

(00:22):
the Weekly Zeitgeist. What is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
All right? So I looked up my search history. The
first thing on it was what is the Daily Zeitgeist?
I figured that out. Then Jack O'Brien.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Feet, kay, okay, buddy, and I hope you I hope
you didn't find any results there down there.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
And then the next thing was toe fungus varieties.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Uh huh, you have no idea how real that is?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Then how come some of my email addresses and my
address book are not populating into my iPhone address book?
Not very illuminating, but I think a lot of people
could identify with that. Oh man, the Blue Voter Guide
because today is election day, Primary day here in California,

(01:23):
and I dropped off my ballot yesterday, waited till the
last moment, because that's that was the strategy that they
advised in case big things change. And you know, we
have three front runners for governor one who's a Republican,
and it would be best to shut that Republican out and
have the two front Democrats running for governor. Yeah, so

(01:45):
that's what's happening around here. Then okay, I look up
back Rooms. I wanted to find out more what the
big deal about the movie back Rooms is. Now I know, yes,
I just got his it, but I'm not going into
the theaters here, are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Kind of a hard one. Yeah, it's very vibe spased.
There's not a lot of there's it's like, yeah, furniture
store and then Parallel Dimension.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's just not a movie theater movie for me. I'm Mike.
Go see Mandalorian and grogo in the movie theater. But
otherwise the news Field Disclosure Day is like, that's a
movie theater movie. It's yeah, yeah, and apparently it's like
his best movie in twenty years. But I looked up
something called the strategist Fallacy. I subscribe to a daily

(02:32):
blog called Strength and Numbers from a statistician named g
Elliott Morris, and it's a progressive liberal viewpoint at looking
at all of the political number polls, and it's fascinating.
It's also generally pretty upbeat from a Democrat point of view,

(02:53):
and he refers to something called the strategist fallacy, And
so what that is is the belief by political scientists
that the tweaking little things about oh, the candidate, he
should speak more about gas prices of like ten percent,
and if you spoke a little bit less about transgender sports,

(03:18):
then that's that'll make the difference. And that's the strategist
fallacy is saying, these strategists are just focusing on the
fringes of the fringes of what voters are really paying
attention to, and it's stuff that is out of their control,
out of the strategist's control. The fallacy is that they

(03:38):
can control or advise their way to success when it's
really much larger things and generally just the character and
personality of the candidate, not the issues and the perception
of well competency or number one issue for a lot
of races is who can be the Trump candidate, who

(04:01):
can beat the maggot, who's best position to meet the
maggot candidate. But my kids are voters now, one of
them for the first time just now, and they both
are kind of single issue voters in the environment environmentalism,
but not entirely because they love the environment, as we
all should, but because that is a signifier of other issues.

(04:25):
Someone who votes right what i'll call right on the
environment generally is on the right side of all of
these other issues as well. And I'm not gonna pull
punches here and be like, well, I mean right to
me or my point of view, what's right. No, this
is another fallacy that we see in the press. There

(04:46):
is objectively right and there is objectively wrong. There isn't
two sides to everything. There's objectively true and there's objectively alive.
There's not baseless claims or unsupported position there's truth and
there's lies.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, first of all, the strategist thing. One of the
craziest anecdotes I ever heard was on one of those
like crooked media podcasts where they were talking about how
one of the first thing that a political strategist does
when they meet a candidate is like look in their
phone and like add up all of the money of
the people who are in their contact list, Like see

(05:25):
how many like millionaires and billionaires are in there, and
like when you think, if you take for granted that
like it doesn't make it really that much of a
different much of a difference who the candidate or what
the candidate's positions are, and it's just like a foregone
thing based on that. It's just them being like, all right,
how much money can I like make off of the

(05:46):
person's straightforward like any job, if you're just like, uh, yeah,
you want to work with me, let me look at
your phone and look at how much money you have,
that would be uh like that would be seen as
a little bit too like on the nose and transparent.
But in the world of like political strategists, they're like, no, no, no, no,
this is just for because because complex reasons. You know.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, I mean that is probably the number one just
defining factor of successful candidate is how much money they
can raise, right, sure, but not always anymore. I see
a lot of changes there too.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Well, yeah, a lot of candidates just go from small
small donors, individual donors and like the old school version
of like do you got like three people that are willing.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
To kick in millions and like jump start this thing? Yeah,
but yeah, I do think generally with young people, we've
underestimated how much the environment matters to that. Like, even
when people are like anxiety. Like this young generation has
like more anxiety and like is more fucked up than
previous generations mentally. I really think the what is happening

(06:53):
with the environment and how just impossible the current system
seems to make it, like with regards to like doing
anything about that, has more to do with that than
people realize. But instead they're just like, I think it's
their phones, which I think the phones aren't helping, but
I do, I do think.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, to just say it's the phones, is that completely Yeah, Yeah,
I think that.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah. I think they're very smart and have good reasons
to be to feel anxiety about the state of the world.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, but yeah, that's the other thing, is it doesn't
the things that are really affecting the voters who it's
about turnout. It's not about changing their mind, it's just
about getting them out to vote. And what's affecting them
are the things that are very low cost, right yeah, right,
you know, well, sadly AI viral videos or whatever. So

(07:46):
what the effectiveness of money I think has changed oddly
this season, I've been invited to a lot of political fundraisers,
which I've never had before. I don't nothing's changed about
my financial status. I'm still not a great target to
donate a lot of money to campaigns, but I've gone
to some of them because it's interesting to meet the candidates.

(08:07):
And Mithya Rahman i'd met her before. I just went
going to that fundraiser. Hearing her speak, not in a
debate setting, that was a real payoff benefit. I did
vote for her.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, we had her on recently.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh okay, very good. We almost were going to host
a fundraiser here for her. But you know that's a
lot of work.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah right, You're like, ah, it's a lot of works.
What is something you think is overrated?

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Well, you're not going to like this soccer. Well again,
I'm going to go back to what I said in
the intros, like I can be as happy as anyone
could possibly be with all of these people who agree
with me and are also happy, and then ten minutes later,

(08:58):
I have never felt such a despair in my entire life.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
And it's it's it's a lot. It's it's a lot.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
And I love I love the beautiful game obviously, but uh,
I think we need to be on a break.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I think I'm breaking up with soccer. Oh wow, wow,
taking a lot out of you. Yeah, I'm pro people
hurt people you got broken up with over soccer, you're
breaking up with soccer.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, I mean I want to protest the World Cup
anyway because of about all the first ship that's going
on with it, and I don't feel like excited about it.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
So yeah, at the same time, are we letting them win? Yes,
absolutely let them win. If if they take away the
World Cup from us like that, that feels like our
job sucks, like it being like fuck these people, they
take what you know, and and therefore we don't get
to enjoy.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's the fuck up thing is like FIFA is just
a despicable organization the word but the but they are
manipulating the most globally loved sport you know, of football, soccer,
And yeah, so people are just sort of like at
the at their will to be like damn it. But
so so many people grow up like on this every

(10:12):
four year thing where it's like everybody.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
In their community gets together to obsess about it. Yeah. Yeah,
and like that. I feel like that.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I had a few friends who were just like they were.
They had tickets to go see something in like the States,
and then like now they're gonna go to Mexico City
and they're like, that's gonna be more fun than being
in America. Like, I honestly can't wrap my head around
like seeing a match in the United States just given
everything in the fucking ice cream threats and watch it.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I'm I'm gonna watch it. You're gonna watch it, but
you just like won't actually go.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
I was so excited, dude, I was so excited to
actually go to the World Cup being here. I mean
I remember in ninety four when it was here, it
was like that's what kind of completely opened me up
to the sport. And then yeah, well now, I mean
it's also just prohibitively expensive, so it's not a it's
not a hard decision and be like, I'm not going
to spend.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Two It was like our decision when we decided to
boycott the met Gala that was so brave of us.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Exactly could have gone no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
And that's why I'm not though, Yeah, that's why I'm not.
I think. Yeah, sports, sports fandom in general, like ding
during the Western Conference finals of the NBA, I had
like thundered. I went into this season liking the Oklahoma
City Thunder. I love Wembyama, and so I'm rooting for

(11:37):
Wemby over everyone except possibly the Knicks, because the Knicks
I always I always kind of love and I love
the city in New York, and it's gonna be fun
if they went. But I was like rooting really hard.
I had like thundered derangement syndrome, like by the end
of that that series TDS. Yeah, and I like for what,

(11:59):
like to what At a certain point, I was like
in a bad mood because the thunder one Game five,
you know, and I'm just like, what the fuck am I?
The fuck am I even doing?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
What?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Neat is this feeling exactly? It's it's masochistic. Yeah, it's sick.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
There's a lot of I mean like that's like even
with Arsenal winning that like the entire internets like, oh
this is bullshit, this is yeah, And there are people
who like course is just inherently toxic, like everywhere, all
the time, constantly. Yeah, And there's just like a such
a I feel like even with my allegiances to teams,
like I hate the Celtics, but when they're good, I'm
not gonna be like they actually suck, right, you know

(12:40):
what I mean? When people do ship like that because
I think it hurts to admit, but like I can
look at that they're fucking so good. It's it fucking
upsets me because they me sad rather than ship.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Anyway, it's objective. That's the nice thing.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
And the terrible thing about sports is they play the
game to decido who's good and who's not, so you
can't feel the Celtics they stink and they won the change.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I become a five year old and immediately like the game,
like I have like whatever the like sports dysmorphia where
I'm like they actually suck and the rest are cheating
on their beat. Like I get like that broken brain.
Yeah yeah, like I truly like my brain, Like I
just goes right back to being a fucking seven year

(13:28):
old watching my dad's teams play. So yeah, there, Maybe
that's what it is. Maybe that's what I need to
get out. What is something you think is overrated? The
New York.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Versus La Discush? Get over it.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
It's it's so overrated. You sound like a hack when
you talk about it. Just these are two places that
people live and they love and it's okay, and that's
fine stuff.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
So everyone is bi coastal now, yes, like for real,
everyone is truly bikelestal as a New York or in
La right now, yeah, everyone's cost exactly.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You can sit back and forth.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
We've done this, like we don't need to be like,
why are we pitting things against each other? This is
this is just more of the class in charge, just
trying to pit us against each other versus looking at them.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
So let's combine our strengths.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Actually they're alternative.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
You know.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a problem when their alternative is like, so just
move to Wichita, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly,
those places suck. Yeah. Come to the middle of the country. Yeah,
we'll change you. Come to God's country, I will say. Yeah.
Becca is agreeing with this, and yet I saw her
this weekend. She took a drink of tap water and

(14:44):
did a dramatic spit take, like you call this tap water.
Oh okay, I don't drink New York City.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
I don't drink New York tap water. I will say
that if anything, love New York tap water. Oh it's
so scary in our buildings. I mean its where you
I guess, you know, don't trust.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
So when I moved to New York for the first time,
like in the early aughts, my cool sister was like,
and by the way, the tap water is good to
drink here, and I have never looked into that at all.
I have just been fucking drinking it none anything.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
I prefer West Coast tapwater and specifically shout out to Portland, Oregon. Portland,
Oregon has the best water. That shit is like, it
is delicious, it is like never think twice. I'm like, hell, yeah,
I'm gonna get some top water from Portland.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Organ coming from a river directly.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
Yeah, basically yeah, basically I grew up in suburban Maryland
and like we had well water growing up, and like,
so that's my top tier. It doesn't have that ledo
mommy that you're looking for, though, Jack, So like you.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Know, that is my thing. Like I like to swish
it around. Yeah, like la tapwater. Though we can all
agree not not great, nobody, no, no, no, no, that
shit is coming has traveled a long, weary path to
get here. No. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:06):
I go to my little water guy and I get
my jugs filled up once a week and we're good
to go.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
And that's it.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
And that works for me.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Too.

Speaker 6 (16:14):
Many people you got Oh yeah, I got a guy village,
got village water up the street for me.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
I'm gonna shut him out.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Mom and pop.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
They're delightful. I take my big jugs over there. They say,
do you need help to your card? I'm like, I
can carry five gallons.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Baby, don't worry, five gallons. Yeah, I'm so strong.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
It's great. Yeah, cash only.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh, don't don't put them on blasts like that. You
know they're not paying taxes. That's only now. I do
have a question about well water mm hmm. Well's got
a cover on it. Always. This is a question I've
always had when people are like, well water is the best?

(16:57):
Can a bird fall down there? Well, well, take a
poop in there? Fall down there? What are we talking?

Speaker 5 (17:04):
Well, I think there's kinds of wells.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
This.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
This is not like I can't go to a well
in the tropics, the ring.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no no.

Speaker 6 (17:13):
It's not Timmy fell down a well where you know,
it's not that type of situation. It's like the aquifer
well that they dig into and pull out.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yet, and I'm sure everybody knew this, but I've always
been a picture baby Jessica.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Well, I was.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Thinking the same exact thing.

Speaker 7 (17:30):
Well water, I was just like, wow, well in your backyard.
My my boyfriend is from suburban Maryland, so I was like,
he's never talked about I was like.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
Oh, but that makes more sense. Yeah, yeah, well we
have like those giant water towers.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
You guys know, like whenever they don't have them in California, they.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
Don't they have them in Texas. But I never thought
twice about them. They just say whatever, small town high
school is dominating that.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Place for high school student to drink.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
Yeah, it's like fair high school.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, those have been in my experience. The
worst water that I've tasted is the water at the
Jersey Shore. The tap water at the Jersey Shore, that
all comes from those big old, those big old water towers.
I feel you.

Speaker 7 (18:18):
You drink it and then you become like chin fan laundry.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
You know. Yeah, yeah, you get knock on our Jersey
Shore people. Back up enough though, but plenty Yeah yeah,
not all, but plenty. That's any any time someone says
not all anything, it's like, yeah, but there's plenty that
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

(18:54):
we're back and prop what is something that you think
is overrated.

Speaker 8 (18:59):
Uh, I think over complicated skincare routines are pretty overrated.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
What's over complicated? So you water listen?

Speaker 8 (19:11):
Well, okay, that's under that's undercomplicated.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
That's too hetero. Man.

Speaker 8 (19:18):
Look dude, it's like something abrasive to exfoliate, some water
for to clean and some moisturizing. Like it's pretty here's
the thing in case y'all don't notice, I'm black as hell. Now,
I'm black in a way that's pretty unique in the
sense that, like, you know, my wife's like FIRSTI in Mexican,
I'm very mustic culture. My wife's version Mexican, my stepm's Filipino,

(19:39):
my brother in law Samoan. You know, I'm I'm you know,
multiculture in the way that anybody from la is. But
like deep cutting for me, you know what I'm saying,
Like there's a lot.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
It's just a lot.

Speaker 8 (19:51):
Like I know that that the word kissing a wake
up means the King's blanket on the cree nation in Canada,
because I've done some show up there.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
That being said, blackety black.

Speaker 8 (20:04):
Like as a child, my mother would attack us with
vasiline to just put over our face. And what I'm
telling you is I've never changed. It's still vasiline. Like
I just I feel like I feel like y'all like
looking for things, just some petroleum jelly. Y'all looking for

(20:24):
stuff the answers that you already have, right, That's what
I'm trying to say, Like you already have the answers
to this, right, wash your face like wash it.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
It's real simple, right, like this is white white.

Speaker 8 (20:38):
People look like they ten years older than they are
because y'all don't moisturize, just like it's real. It's not
the black don't crack. We just moisturize. I am very
much like again, black as hell. Like as soon as
I get out the shower, I look like I just
rolled in the bacon soda, Like I get immediately ashy.
So I think, and my daughter is the same thing.
But she growing up in East LA. She's not growing

(21:00):
like I grew up, so that she's not being roasted
for being ashy, you know, So like where.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
The problem with kids.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
It's a problem with kids.

Speaker 8 (21:07):
Ain't a roastal little knees you feel me so like
for me, I'm like, man, you got greats and elbows,
so you just and then I realized, like, oh yeah,
because skin is alive.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
And it needs moisturengs moistureize.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
But what I'm saying is like, you ain't got bodies
like Woo's old boy that was slapping banana peels on
his face.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
My nigga, right right, what is you doing?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Right?

Speaker 5 (21:31):
You see what I'm saying, Like you know all these
different products.

Speaker 8 (21:34):
Now, granted, I'm a girl dad, you know which I
understand the problem with this, the the problematicness of describing
myself as a girl dad.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
I am a dad.

Speaker 8 (21:45):
All I'm saying is all my children are girls. That's
what I'm trying to say. That being said, when I
find a cool little lippy or little skincare something, just
just to let them know I'm thinking about them, right,
So I just I'll buy a little face rub or something.
Just doesn't all thinking about it?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Right?

Speaker 8 (22:04):
The issue is, you know how many versions of air
Max's there are. Yeah, I'm trying to say, like, right,
the the the amount of minutia my my my ten
year old for fun, she want to stop at Alta,
like she just want to go walk around Alta And
I'm like, yo, this entire aisle is for cheeks.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Your cheek bone, just the left cheekbone. Is this whole aisle?

Speaker 3 (22:31):
I'm like, I and this is all snail musome or whatever.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
This is a snail juice.

Speaker 8 (22:37):
Yeah, I'm like this is over complicated though, Like y'all listen,
that's called I think it was it called beauty capitalism.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
It's gotta be that digitalis.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
But also, like with the vaciline thing, it was interesting
too because a couple of years ago white people discovered it,
like and they acted like they discovered it.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, like you heard it. I was just gonna ask,
have you guys heard of this stuff? Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I think it's called slugging when you put a ton
of vacoline on your face. And a lot of people
were like, who were you know, like grew up with vascines.

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Around You're like, hold on, what what kind of Like
when they said remember commercials a few years ago that
I said taheen was America's new favorite topic, I was like, tahi,
really we did it. We did an episode all hood
politics where they would talking about how what could save
the world. I don't know if you guys know this,

(23:28):
but like eating goat, like if you ate lamb and
goat like, yeah, I don't know, no one's ever thought
of that, like.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, so fun. Yeah, and people are like you're like
my friend Tabitha just suggested, just came up with that idea.
Have you ever had an oxtail? Yeah? What they discovering
new parts of animals? Yeah, here too for undiscovered discovering
new islands.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
Right right, which weirdly I just listened to because again
I'm a fan.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Think so anyway, we love it, and us fans of
you and and us and so with your spirit, thanks
for to God. Vazzileine uh is it will fuck up.
I will get a z every once in a while,
so that that is my one word of warning. But
it does. And I do get ashy knees when I

(24:24):
when I don't use vasilen. So yeah, I was like,
what are these patches? My knee is elbow patches. Your
knees look like dried figs.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Bro your knees are dead dead, That's what That's what
it is.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, just give up, just give up.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm I have like one cleanser
just because I'm oily skinned. Just I washed my face
with that and moisturize. But I think it's I think
I'm also genetically privileged being black and Asian, because there's that.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Before that, it was just water.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
Uh sorry guys.

Speaker 8 (25:03):
Yeah, my wife tried to explain that to me too.
She's like, I don't I don't think you understand how
gifted you are.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Yeah, yeah, like we rarely do, we rarely do.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Rarely do.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
My first sunburned was last year.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 8 (25:17):
I was like, Joe, that's what this feels like. Yeah, dang,
it was awful. Yeah, it was only on my foot too.
I was like, did y'all live it with this?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
All right, let's talk let's talk about our man's Marco Rubio. Yeah,
who uh just go by asked a fairly straightforward question, yeah,
and nailed it. In terms of the response. I found
it very convincing. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
I mean, look, the thing that feels like the that
Democrats have started to learn a little bit, especially like
with the Epstein file hearings and things like that, is like,
make these people say dumb ship to defend everything that
is so obvious to the public, right, because that that
will like having those people on skates trying to explain
or rationalize is an effective way to just sort of

(26:04):
demonstrate that oh these like, these people are fucking fooling.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
And so recently Ted Lou was asking Marco Rubio, who
came to the House Foreign Relations Committee to talk about
a few things, and tedlu just starts off.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
We're just real simple.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
And again it's a simple question because we've all seen
it before, which is, yeah, you ever been around Donald
Trump when he fell asleep, like during a meeting or
anything like that, Because again, this underlines just the sort
of like severity of his decline and how we are
all less safe for it. So here's Ted Lou asking
Mark Rubial a very simple question.

Speaker 9 (26:41):
You have been at motile meetings with President Trump. In
a moment, I'm gonna show you a video of one
of these meetings, and it's all video asked December. It's
a cabinet meeting. I'm gonna ask you to focus on
President Trump and you will see that he is sleeping
while you're taking My god, please show I.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Like he even goes, oh my god, sis.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Guilty, motherfucker is like he's like, because I have these
texts from someone you, Oh my god, are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
You have You're gonna you're gonna use evidence oh my god,
my god child. Okay, then let's go real mature. Yeah, yeah,
so I feel like attorneys should real mature.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Sarcastic clap, real mature man, we're all in press.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
You got the picture of my client doing the crime. Okay,
bud uh so, Ted Lou roll the tape. Wait, was
that Marco Rubio doing a dry laugh? Yeah, because he
was like, oh are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Here?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
This is him here, please show the video made and
what Americas Ruby is talking? And then to his left
Donald Trump's head issue after he's and he's his head
is tilted. His head is all the way down, but

(28:05):
the way down closed all the way down, like couldn't
if he is not asleep. Then he's on fyl Yeah, yeah,
he's nodding off. He just shot up. That's his head
is all the way down and you're like, oh, he's
clearly asleep, and then it droops further like it because

(28:28):
he's like more evidently asleep.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
It felt like Trump was about to wake him, like
what I'm up, kid, I'm up, I'm up kid.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
So okay, So, Marco, what do you gotta say about that?

Speaker 9 (28:40):
Sector Rubio?

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Have you been more than what he's not sleeping.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
Where President Trump has fallen asleep, that's false.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
He said, that's false. I've never seen him fall asleep.

Speaker 8 (28:50):
On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a
big problem because he calls me at two in the morning.

Speaker 9 (28:54):
He calls me at five in the morning, and you know,
I like to sleep a little bit.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Maybe not twelve hours or at least six twelve hours
he was at the Oval office. And second he's just
twelve just blabbed.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
I'm talking about the video.

Speaker 9 (29:07):
Show you in a moment, a video that shows you
just lied to Congress.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, this is all bro, he said again. But on
the contrary, he like he had to do the thing
without really thinking. Actually never sleeps, and like that's that's
aout of fact. That's also a problem.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
Like he should have just broken the Spanish and be
like I'm gonna safe bet, like.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
You don't even know if he could. Yeah, I don't
know if he could.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
It's no dead mean though, no dead mean though. He
should have just broken the Spanish.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
He's so lazy. He may have forgotten Spanish though, clear,
so here, so here.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
So again, he's like, okay, you're you're really gonna go
with He's not asleep, Ted Lou He loves He's done.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
This a few times.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
He goes, you literally just lied to Congress right now,
because that's bullshit. But here's enough thing broke.

Speaker 9 (29:58):
So this is a video the cabin meeting literally from
last month, where Donald Trump is.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
We jog your memory here for you while you are
talking this video again break icon directly right next to
him behind the border piece. And it is a challenge, but.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
It's been driven personally by the president. It's the reason
why we're involved in the whole Ukraine Russia.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Up a little bit. Yeah, it never would have happened
if you've been president, was convincing.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
He goes, it never would have happened if you been president,
and it looked at him.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Trump is like, hey, hey, listen, listen.

Speaker 8 (30:34):
I cannot confirm his actual state of consciousness, right, So yeah, maybe,
but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
You can tell he's asleep in this one because he
wakes up. Yeah, totally. So you like to see him
like kind of start awake and then go back to sleep.
He's like, this motherfucker is still talking. The other reason
that you could tell you to sleep is because there's
a feather that's above his mouth that he's keeping aloft
by going really and he has blown out little oh

(31:11):
my god with a candle in it right next to him.

Speaker 8 (31:14):
Bro, And that's totally your dad when you guys were
kids trying to watch a movie, just like, yeah, yeah,
he's out, like I'm watching, don't turn it off.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
I'm watching realizing when they're asleep. People will swear to
you that they've not been asleep, and you're like full, like,
we heard you talking about my wife. I didn't sleep
a wink last night, and it's like, dude, you're like,
you were asleep for like six every time I turned around,

(31:42):
you were asleep, my wife.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
My wife says it to me all the time. She
was like, well you were snoring.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, yeah I do, Yeah exactly. That's left terrible. I
barely slept last night. You were snoring for eight hours
the whole time. Yeah yeah. Anyways, Uh that so Trump
might not realize he's asleep, but Rubyo sure is. Fuck
should since he's right.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Next to him, you're obviously yeah yeah, yeah. He goes
on again. Right on the other side of that, he's like,
this is this is a hard one. You're talking about.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Fucking You'll see matters of warren literal war in peace
and the president.

Speaker 10 (32:16):
Is trying to end it.

Speaker 9 (32:18):
You are literally talking about issues of war and peace.
And Donald Trump is sleeping right next to you. If
Donald Trump don't stay awake at these important meetings where
the cameras are rolling, imagine what he's like when the
cameras are not there.

Speaker 8 (32:34):
Yeah, listen, that means listen all I all I know
about Marco Rubio, Like this just proves to me that
this he ain't never been in trouble. And because when
you're in trouble, you got better answers than that, Because
what you should say is I mean you gotta ask
him like that should have been an answer, like I
can't tell I can't tell that or not. I mean, yeah,

(32:57):
what do you want me to say? Man, I'm saying
the same thing you seeing. I'm in the zone, like
I'm doing my job.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah, I'm giving you.

Speaker 8 (33:03):
I'm talking you asking me about somebody else? Like why
are you asking me about another man's thing? Just turning
the dame dash when you're asking you ask a man
about another man's life. Pause crazy, that's crazy, That's just
that's just crazy to me, Like I would never ask
a man about another man, whether the man's sleep or not. Pause,
what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I do feel like he tedlu should have asked him
since he was like just catching him lying on the record,
he should have asked him what his shoe size was.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
Yeah, that's exactly how you go ask the man who's
wearing shoes that don't fit.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Him for the record, for the record under oath?

Speaker 1 (33:42):
What side? What's that right now? It looks all floppy?

Speaker 9 (33:49):
Bro?

Speaker 3 (33:49):
How many fingers can you get behind your heel on
the back of the shoe has hands?

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Actually, let me see? Can you make a fist?

Speaker 5 (33:59):
And you just like have a lot of He's like
your toes to have a lot of wiggle.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
That's what it is. Yeah, because you're growing into him. Growing.
Other evidence of Donald Trump's uh declining mental state would
be his big presentation. So he's catching a little heat
because he's turning the reflecting pool famous reflecting pool because

(34:24):
it was in that the movie Forrest Gump. Yeah, I
think is the main thing that's what's known for. But
you know it's it was built by an architect to
reflect the Washington monuments. You know, the whole point is
that it reflects what's going on around it.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
That's crazy, because that's why it's called reflecting.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
The reflecting Yeah, it's right there in the name.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
Yeah, but you did say but you did say pool though.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, we've we've decided to go with the other word
in the name. We're directing our you can't say to
the other part, and we're making it a pool. Donald
Trump has been like he's been talking about how his
German friends came through, and we're like, it's disgusting, it's
full of filth and he can't hardly see in the water.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, yeah, but he's again, this just shows you what
they're doing behind the scenes with Donald Trump, because he's
so he's such a size queen that everything's about how
much bigger is it than this other thing? Like he
did it with the the DC arc that he's trying
to the arch that he's trying to build, and he's like, yeah,
it dwarfs the Arch de Triome fin France. It's the

(35:32):
biggest arc. Especially put that huge cake topper thing on
the top of it. And now he's comparing the reflecting
pool to other objects that are not even pools. But
I guess I'm sure that's just to help him feel
good about this pool.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
I just had this done. He's pulling out a poster
board that looks like a looks like a seventh grader
science project.

Speaker 10 (35:55):
Those are among the tallest buildings in the world, including.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
The Empire's.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Than answering a question, nobody asked.

Speaker 10 (36:05):
Shear's Tower, Chicago, Chicago, two or three of them to
fill it in because the width is very almost two
hundred feet wide.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah? The headline of the chart says, our pool is
bigger than a skyscraper. Yeah, And then it's the pool
laid outside next to a skyscraper, which doesn't. It's not
how things like size comparisons have like by my logic,
my my street is, yeah, my street's bigger. My street

(36:40):
is bigger than the Empire State Building, and it is
and it is, and a lot of people are very
impressed by that. My pool is bigger than a skyscraper.

Speaker 8 (36:49):
Again, is really this is very much like Okay, this
this a It just feels like a like a tenth
grader's book report. Well, I'm like, you obviously didn't read
this because you answering a question. Didn't nobody ask you?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
And also the basis for comparison makes and.

Speaker 8 (37:07):
Just don't like, hey, man, just like you didn't do
the assignment. It's fine. I used to teach high school
and there was a few times I had to say,
I like to my ninth graders.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
I would be like, hey, dude, it's it's cool you
ain't doing.

Speaker 8 (37:21):
Yes, Hey, I appreciate the effort, though, I'm gonna grade
you on your effort of trying to bullshit through this.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
That was actually amazing.

Speaker 8 (37:30):
But but not as good as it could have been.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Had you just read the thing, you know what I'm saying,
would have been way less painful and awkward for everybody
in class.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
You just said yeah, I didn't do it.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
It had been way better because now I got jokes.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yeah. So, because I was.

Speaker 8 (37:46):
Like when I started teaching, I was twenty three, so
I was like, I'm like really close to y'all's age.
So I'm like, I'm just gonna roast you. You know
what I'm saying, So like just I even put it
into syllabus, like I will clap back because I started
off with a no twelve graders. So I started off
with twelve graders, So I'm like, okay, we're like four
years apart, like I'm gonna roast it.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Anyway, the fact his decision to use this to try
and sell the refurbishing of the reflecting pool has drawn
a lot of attention to the fact that the he
just hired a firm that is, like somebody he knew
to do the work on this massive reflecting pool, and

(38:30):
like we're just like.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Pools, right, Like it's like residential or like resort pools,
and right, cool, cool, cool cool yeah yeah yeah, So
no big contract, no.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Big contracts, a bunch of you know, million millions in
just millions and millions, thirteen million dollars, which included twenty
percent for overhead. Okay, that's a financial term that makes
sense in that contact, and another twenty percent for profit,
which you don't usually put in the receipt. You don't
put that in. And this part is for our profit.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Is what I'm keep That's just what we state is
the profit too. Yeah, who knows what kind of cost
cutting even happened below that? Okay, sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
Oh man, the most truthful liar on the planet.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Right, I don't know, Well, people don't usually look at
this ship. So we're just gonna go.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
Ahead, and yeah, I'm finna keep that.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
This is the part where we're cheating. Right, they're doing
a great job, right, I'm sure they're not. They're not
fucking this up at all. All right, they're not. They're
doing a terrible job. They're fucking it up, and it's
it's gonna go badly. They're trying to like rush it
through before the CNC Music Factory concert that they're doing.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
For the two hundred and fiftieth Come on, Freedom, is
he still in there?

Speaker 1 (39:45):
The freedom is still saying, he's still hanging in there,
right yeah, Freedom still still in freedoms, Like, you're not
going to tell me this is about freedom of.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
Speech and it's not.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
You know, he freedom of the Rapper from CNC Media Factory.
For our listeners who aren't listening to that episode, he's not.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
Even in CNC Music Factory.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Right, right, right he is. He just bought the name factory.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
I'm just like, nig we added you or did you
get the worst? He just bought the name and then right, yeah,
that's insane, Like.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
There's no way. That just looks like a hotel pool
by the end, is it, Like is it really going
to be that bad? Because his poster certainly does. Like
the post.

Speaker 8 (40:20):
Is is it a public pool? Like can you You're
just not like, yeah, it doesn't matter, I'm just trying
to apply logic. Was more grifting, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
It's like, you got all this money, you're fucking handing
it off to some fucking guy you know, has no
business doing. He never had any federal contract ever, right,
who knows what kind of circular payment is even happening there.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
It's like, you have twenty percent, that's mine, okay, yeah,
and I'll give it to you because how the fuck
else are you going to get a fucking contract like this?

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Yeah that it's like you know that, Like I know,
the like talking about the pool is one thing, but
it's just just another moment of just sort of out
in the open naked corruption.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
It just yeah, Yeah, financially he was a bully and
like didn't pay people like before he had absolute power. Yeah, Ima,
what he's like to deal with now, Like when he
was just a like rich skate, Yeah, chief skate, Like
he's bad to deal with you. Imagine how many people
he's not paying.

Speaker 8 (41:18):
Yeah, Victor super producer, that's what y'all call him, Right,
Look made a point about calling at all hours of
the night. Sounds so manic and yes, and what I
do love about Like my my some of the all
homies used to always say that, like a narcissist always
reveals their cards, right, and like my granny was always like,

(41:41):
the truth is gonna she said it a little more country,
but it's like, yeah, the truth gonna come out your ears,
which is like eventually what you're trying to hide is
gonna come out, right, So like in him, obviously Marco
Rubio is exhausted and regrets all the shit that he's
he's a part of right now. So when he was

(42:02):
just like matter of fact, the dude don't sleep. He
called me at two in the morning he can't stand Trump, right,
Like I'm just like, that's what you just told me,
right because you can't stand this fool. Like I'm like,
it's gonna come out. I'm like, oh, there it is,
the Trump coming out. You Actually that's a good point,
do you like you?

Speaker 1 (42:18):
And five I actually believe that five in the.

Speaker 8 (42:20):
Morning, I actually believe that because that probably get all
your nerves where you just you're trying to lay in
your bed and just like pinch away with.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Just dumb ship. Call you with some dumb ship. What
do you think, Marco? Should we bomb everybody?

Speaker 8 (42:32):
No, mister President probably going probably going good?

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Is that good?

Speaker 3 (42:41):
And had a sandwich. I didn't realize it's it's just
a ham sandwich with mybody. Nobody who nobody knew that
Buenos Dias just meant good day. Nobody nobody knew.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Well, because it does.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Sound like you know, like I remember when like well,
like my grandfather towards the end of his life, once
my grandmother passed and he was in that kind of
like where your partner goes and yeah, and and you
would get and this is what you would call everybody
call my uncle. He called my dad, he called me,
called my cousin, and just like stuff because he's like lonely,
you know what I mean in the beginning, like I

(43:14):
remember my like my dad and my uncle they had
ship going there like they're like I can't.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
It's like my dad, he's like Grandpa called me again.
He's like talk to him, talk to him, talk to him.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
And it just feels like another version of this, like
you're getting towards the end there you're feeling lonely, and
then like, you got a couple of people you know
are going to pick up the answer.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
They're gonna pick up, so fuck it, you're gonna call
him be like, have you seen blood Sport? Michael? It's like, man,
it's fucking for I know you just.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
Pulled that out of nowhere. But I literally watched blood Sport.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
That's where we were.

Speaker 8 (43:48):
Okay, so uh, speaking of multicultural I do a dude's
trip to Montana every year.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Okay, so horses and no.

Speaker 8 (43:59):
Like now, keep in mind, I said no to it
four years in a row until I finally because I
was like, this is who's all.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Gonna be this way? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (44:08):
Yeah, but it's on a reservation. Uh, it's this organization.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
Uh they you know, put together, you know, just a
group of dudes, and after a while it starts being
your own homies and it's like fly fishing, you know, pontoon,
you know, shooting clay whatever. It's just a dude's thing,
Me and a homies going. We just played dominoes all
the time. But either way, it was raining this weekend
out there, and one of the homies that never seen

(44:34):
blood Sport, so we watched that.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
We watched over the top. Oh, we watched Predator and
we watch Enter the Dragon.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
It was great. Wow.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Anyway, a dude's trip and see And if Trump calls you,
you would be like, as a matter of fact, I have
seen that.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
Actually, yeah just watch what would you like to talk about?

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yes, what's the best part is when he does hasn't
and he watches him in the bulls that point that
was sick.

Speaker 11 (45:02):
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we are back.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
And the Denver International Airport is for people who aren't
kind of red up on their conspiracy theories. The Denver
International Airport is a is a real hot spot. Now.
The pieces of evidence that I've seen are they got
a scary horse outside, scary horse sculpture and what you're

(45:38):
called Blucifer. Yeah, uh huh, I mean it's actually officially
titled it's officially titled Mustang, but the conspiracy theories gave
it the name Blucifer because it's a blue horse and
its eyes do glow red.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
There's something you may not know about that, but it
killed the artist who made it when that on them,
when they were craning it lifting it out of his studio,
a cable broke and it swung and it killed the article.
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Okay, I'm I'm on board with the conspiracy theories. Haunting
does it its eyes actually glow red? Right, that's not
a thing that's being added.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
For They're not glowing red.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Yeah, right, right right.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
I do like the idea that's just doing like the
bas meme like from the Internet, just like the glowing
red eyes.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Yes. The other big thing is that there are there
is a secret network of tunnels underneath the Denver Airport
that people have decided would probably be where the Illuminati,
the powers that be go to, not on any of
the secret islands that they all own, and it were
on the you know, billion dollar yachts that they own,

(46:53):
but underneath the Denver Airport is probably where they go
to hatch their schemes and all. So I think there's
some theory that like they're somehow immuneto like nuclear world,
they could serve as like a bunker of some kind.
It's like where they go. But Jonathan, is this something
that you were aware of prior to your work on

(47:14):
Mission implausible?

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Probably only in the back of my head somewhere, But
you're right, Jack. We did do an episode of it
on mission implausible because it's such a classic conspiracy theory.
And I talked to people at Denver Airport. I talked
to some journalists who had visited it, and then I
also talked to people who construct underground bunkers for survivalists,

(47:41):
and I got pretty in depth in it as kind
of a researcher. And here's my conclusion is that there
isn't a bunker like that under Denver International Airport, but
there is somewhere else, maybe not twenty two miles of area,

(48:02):
but they that is how you would have built it.
Cut and cover, dig a hole, perfect situation for them
to do it. The only thing that doesn't add up
is why would you need to put an airport on
top of it, a big international airport on top of it.
And I mean the reason people think is so that
all the rich people can fly in and there's a

(48:24):
place for them to land. But you don't need the
world's biggest country's biggest international airport to allow rich people
to fly in and land.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Rich people love to fly commercial in my experience.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Right Also, there's a rumor that is a train underground
train tunnel beteam that and the what's the bunker the
military bunker that nor Ad which is spitting distance away.
Maybe there is. I don't see what the benefit would be,
but I came away thinking like, yeah, physical this could

(49:01):
have been done. Logically, it wouldn't have been there. And
here's the thing that we come up with about so
many conspiracy theories. Too many people who were in on
it would have had to know about it. You can't
just keep all of these construction workers and be like, look,
you just work on this area and you won't know

(49:22):
about anything else. People would know. And the rule of
thumbs is conspiracy theories. If more than three people know
about something, it's going to get out, so that somehow
that information would have leaked out. But there's just so
much artwork in the airport, and a lot of it

(49:42):
people think, Okay, this proves it, this proves its people
expected society collapse. Whatever. There's just so much artwork that
statistically you will find some that support pretty much any
position you would have.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah. One of the pieces of our work that they
point to is a mural called Children of the World
dream of Peace. Sounds innocuous enough, but there is an
individual painting. It's a series, and one of the paintings
has children sleeping as a giant skeleton soldier holds an

(50:19):
AK forty seven over them and is like swinging a
sword down at them, and people are like, the clues
are all there, mister policeman. They gave us all the clues.
But yeah, it is, it is. It is a bit
of a wild painting to have in an airport. In
an airport, airports are always like kind of dancing that
line between like we got this like local artist who's

(50:41):
like really challenging to like create a work of art,
and then like sometimes it's like, whoa, they really went
went off on that one. By the way, the blue
Mustang's eyes do like their illuminated red eyes illuminatis red eyes.
Oh okay, okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
So the other problem with it. Does anyone see this
show Paradise?

Speaker 1 (51:07):
I just started watching it with Brown.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yeah, it's a fun show. And the first season anyway,
and a lot of sex. Season takes place at basically
a version of this what people say is underground in Denver,
where all the elites had secretly built this city that
they can live in and wait out until the earth
is habitable again for like a generation or two. First

(51:32):
of all, and it's in the side from what I
watching this stuff and talking to people about this stuff,
I think I would rather just take my chances. On
the surface, even if that is like instant death, it
just seems so miserable. But the moment that shit starts
going down, the concept of money has no meaning. Yeah, so, like,

(51:56):
all right, a picture you Jack are and I don't know.
You're in Minneapolis. You hear that there's nuclear war starting.
Everyone knows it's nuclear war starting, and you're like, character,
better get to Denver Airport. All right, where's my pilot, Hey, pilot,
fly me to Denver Airport and then leave.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Get out of here, and don't tell anybody.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
I've got a better idea. You stay here, I'll get
my family. We'll fly to Denver, Purple. There's no who why,
there's no such thing as an employee employee or let's
say you trick everyone into it. Now people are in
the bunker and then it's like, all right, you're my
security guard. No I'm not, you're my security guard.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Yeah, how about that? Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
We had the Douglas rushkoff On who wrote that book
Survival of the Richest of like the Escape fantasies of
tech billionaires, and it's a good one.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
He was bringing that up too.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
It was just sort of like that, even these guys
are like, well, what do we do, like give them
exploding shop callers, So they're like, or do we say
we have the only key for the food so if
we're gone, no one gets food. Like having to game
out what happens when it becomes about purely survival, because
everyone at the end of the day, you're gonna be
Billy saying at the end of Titanic, okay, and the

(53:15):
guy's gonna be like, your money's no fucking good, bro,
Everyone's fucking.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
About to go down. Get the fuck out of my face.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Right Like all right, well, instead we'll have passcodes to
get into the food vault, and you'll have to get it.
I'm memorizing. It's like, all right, well, how many limbs
will you allow to be cut off before you give
them that pass code?

Speaker 6 (53:36):
Right?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Right right? We talk about this. There's this interview with
a Silicon Valley like venture capital millionaire who is just
like one of the only conversations I hear consistently at
these like parties with millionaires and billionaires and in the
tech industry is do you shoot the pilot? Like you

(53:58):
when the pilot takes you to your to your bunker,
do you shoot them? So they Jonathan, they've gamed that out. Actually,
they're they're one step ahead of you. Just I want
to give our listeners all the clues because there's some
pretty compelling stuff here. Also, the runways are supposedly shaped
like a giant swastika. How does that help them in

(54:19):
any way? The clues get They like to They like
to do clues. That's one thing we know about the
people like Taylor swift Man. They drew the dollar bill
like that, you know, yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
Like, I mean, if you only fill in lines that
would make a swastik of the numerous roads and structures
in the airport. I mean, you could make all kinds
of ship out of this. But they're like, look at that, dude,
it's a completely imperfect, lopsided swashi.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
It's the most lopsided shitty swastika ever. They but yeah,
the tunnels are the main thing. I had never read
the actual origins of the tunnels, and it's just a
failed project by United and the Denver Airport. United was like, hey,
why don't you create like automated, an automated system that

(55:12):
like takes all the luggage and like transport it transports
it exactly where we wanted to go. And they tried
it and they were not up to the task. It
fucked up constantly. Bags were constantly being sent to the
wrong put on the wrong flight, and so they had

(55:32):
to give up. And then they started just using the
tunnels for like people driving carts, like the same thing
that happens at every other airport. It's just like now
happening in tunnels that also have these big conveyor belts
that nobody uses in them. Now.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Yeah, I mean the terminals are so I mean cause
if you have to take that train underneath the airport,
you know, if you're going from terminal to terminal.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Like the other thing is too, is like.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
If that train goes down, a lot of people are
missing flights and it turns into chaos. Although they say
it's you know, it's working ninety nine percent of the time,
but that one percent could just cause so many issues.
So I probably like, yeah, I guess we gotta maybe
open up the tunnels just sort of a backstop to that.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Yeah, But opening up the tunnels feels like it's bad
for the conspiracy theory industry. There's there's a good screencap
of a YouTube page that our writer Jam brought that says,
I saw what's under the Denver Airport and the person
is giving a shocked look in the in the image
and the truth under Denver Airport and there's a like

(56:39):
literal like cartoon child devil walking through a corridor.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
This depiction of like a demon is weird because it
looks like the tail is coming from the center of
its back, which.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
The tale is too. Yeah, I don't know how they've
constructed this. It feels like they constructed it from too
tall a dinosaur to the tail.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
But so now the airport has tried to make a
fun thing about it. Hey come to Denver Airport and
meet the aliens, and yeah, it's okay, great, But the
conspiracy theorists will say, that's exactly what if the scent.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Lean into it, lean into it. They've been playing into
the conspiracy theory. There's an ad or a sign that
was posted as they were, you know, doing construction somewhere,
and you know there's always fun signs to apologize for construction.
It's like, excuse our mess where we're we're in the
process of getting beautiful. Yeah exactly. They always decided to

(57:39):
get cute with those signs and the Denver Airport no different.
They said, thanks for being patient. The lizard people keep
stealing their tools.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
I mean, that's exactly what they are.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Like, conspiracy theory is like see, hey, man, where's that jackhammer?
Fuck the lizard people stole it again. Fuck, God damn it.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
A good conspiracy theory is one in which every counter
argument actually just reinforces the belief of conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
That's right, exactly. So they've got a perfect one right here,
you know. Yeah, God, get us in those tunnels, Man,
get me down there. It's gonna suck. I'll fight these
lizard people. Man, just give me in their role. Let
me bang, bro, let me fight them all bro.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
By the way, if there, if there was the EMP
blast from nuclear war would make the jet planes inoperable.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
But yeah right yeah, if.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
You really want to get into it, yeah right, the
cars won't start.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
That's why I'm also like when I just I just
watched The Bone Temple the twenty eight years later one,
and I'm like so glad because this was like.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
My weird pair brain thing when I, like in college.

Speaker 5 (58:59):
I was like, bro when the like EMP s it, Bro,
I got this vinyl collection dog.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Yeah, fucking MP three, and all he had was like Duran, Duran, you.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Know, I forget the other album into the movie that
they can only listen to vinyl. He's got these vinyl
but he is cranking it a little bit. He had
to start to start it.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then I think you might have
a solar panel somewhere.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Maybe maybe, But he's doing it.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
He's doing it, but he's just listening to the same
few albums over and yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Yeah, it's what he used to do. I used to
I have my CD book and then it got stolen
and I had the CD that was in my car
CD player forever, the soundtrack of your Car Forever. That's right,
all right, that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist.
Please like and review the show If you like, the

(59:50):
show means the world to Miles. He he needs your validation.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
Folks.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will
talk to you Monday. Bye.
