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 uh NonStop
infotainment laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here
(00:22):
is the Weekly Zeitgeist. I do want to just talk
about Meet Joe Black, because Meet Joe is back on
on social media. Uh huh, yeah, I'm on fire. I'm
on fire today, Miles. You don't have to say it.
Everyone knows it. No, that's why I'm dialing all the
fire department. Um, doctor, it's happening here. Yeah. People are
(00:49):
just rediscovering this movie and one of my favorite scenes
of all time, where Bred Pitt gets just totally wrecked
by traffic going both way, is at the beginning. It's
like one of the opening scenes of the movie. And
then there's this e r scene that maybe people can
help us with this because I might uh be legitimately
(01:11):
losing my mind. But I thought I saw it for
the first time on Thursday night, and apparently Miles and
Nick thought that we had talked about it on the
podcast before. But let's just play a brief moment. This
is when Brad Pitt, who is being inhabited by the
body of death like the grim Reaper. Uh suddenly breaks
(01:34):
into a Jamaican patois. I think it's very Uh, it's
very accurate. No, yeah, no, be a sister nod. Everything
going to be Irie, go with the doctor, Lady Mom
gonna be fine. Evil Native Loma and what you is
(01:55):
then that's not from that next place. That is. So
they're saying that if Brad Pitt meets the Devil, he
becomes Jamaican, he can just like do whatever he can inhabit.
Like so he's speaking to her in her language, and
it is I don't worry at all. I mean, not
(02:18):
beat me, not devil, so mere offering a special on
two for one. Sat Bay just signed this. It's an
indemnification agreement in case you are injured during the experience.
I don't know what again, man, cool, great call Brad
Pitt Jamaican icon. Yeah. Yeah, you know, he's like the
(02:39):
least scratch Perry of acting. Do you think is it
offensive or is it just bizarre and surreal? I don't
think it's a mix of everything. Yeah, it's so. I
think it's so offensive that I'm trying to understand how
it happened. But also I get in the creative mindset
of a script, you're just saying this person has a
(03:01):
physical presence but can tap into many spiritual things and
therefore is channeling this Jimmy cken um. But I think
it will always be jarring to see, uh, Like especially
like that stage Brad Pitt when he had like the
beautiful golden blonde hair. Uh, suddenly you know, acting like he's,
you know, the mayor of trench Town. The movie is
(03:22):
Brad Pitt maybe at his most beautiful like as a
human being, Like he he looks like he's glowing in
every scene. And it also has exactly and it also
allows him to eat a lot in the movie, which
I found out not by watching it but by doing
a bunch of research. But that is Brad pitts like
(03:42):
that's the number one thing Brad Pitt likes to do
on camera. He eat, Yeah, yeah, if you like see
have you seen Oceans eleven? Yes, and everything, Like he
just knows that he looks cool eating. And so in
this movie he is death, so he's like inhabiting a
human form for the first time, and he like gets
(04:03):
to try peanut butter for the first time, and so
you see him like he really gets to ham it
up when it comes to him, when it comes to eating.
Let's talk about Wisconsin. Uh, since we're doing the accent already. Uh.
So Wisconsin restaurants or a Wisconsin restaurant has banned middle schoolers. Uh.
(04:24):
And this story just brought me back to a time
in my life when I was a middle schooler, just
a shitty middle schooler looking for some grown up behaviors
I could do with my friends and fucking it up
beyond reproach. Hold On, I just had while we were
talking about this story. I don't remember clear for Linny
being in the departed. I don't Stump, she's not in
(04:47):
the departed. That's a merry. What's her name? You burned me? Stump,
you burned us. Let's talk about this Wisconsin restaurant, the
banded middle schoolers. I would have had no place to
order water and try and buy cigarettes out of the
(05:07):
back like cigarette vending machine, and then fight over a
twelve dollar bill with my friends. So apparently Tom's drive In,
Tom's sorry, that was me. So apparently Tom's Drive In
in Fox Cities, Wisconsin has had it. Tom's you burned me,
so they have. They put a sign up in their
(05:28):
window are on the door. It says middle school students
highlighted due to mistreatment of Tom's drive ins, property, guests,
and staff. You are no longer inside of the building
without parental supervision. For those who did not cause any
of the incidents, we are sorry for this. Inconvenience, you
may still purchase food through the walk up window now
(05:49):
w f RV Local five news. Uh, they were saying
that this has been a problem because they've just been
acting out of pocket. So we're talking carving into booths,
drawing genitalia with sharpie markers, making just a fucking mess
of the restaurant in bathroom, stealing soda, fighting with customers,
yelling profanities at the manager, even tattooing. So I think
(06:13):
they were using like jail house ship in and needles
like when the like the only the wildest middle schoolers
do thrust shout out to my homegirl Sarah, who has
like a smiley face to this day that looks like
a crying circle and it says, yeah, so anyway, these
so the cops didn't even call. They were just trying
to deal with it, and apparently they just they broke.
(06:33):
And I get it because if honestly, being a young
child with no job at a restaurant, like as a patron,
you do not know how to act first of all,
because you're normally. For me, when I was in a restaurant,
I was with with my parents, and then the second
I'm in there feeling like an adult, of course I'm
going to act out the dumbest ship while six of
us are trying to spend thirteen dollars on fries and
(06:56):
then fighting over one drink. Yeah, totally. I remember when
I went, we used to always go Pizza Hut because
I lived in Perth in Scotland, so it was like
a small town. There's like one pizza hut that like
allowed all the kids in and we would get all
I mean, it was just kind of where we would
all hang out and I remember we want we'd get
(07:16):
our like ice cream and pizza and the chili flavors,
the parmesan. We'd put it all in one thing and
it would be like, I bet you twenty pounds if
you drink that, I'll give you twenty pounds, and all
the guys were like, no way, no way, and I
was like I'll try it, and I actually enjoyed it.
It tasted amazing. It was like weirdly tasted like licorice.
And then they were like they almost didn't want to
(07:38):
give it to me because I was sjoying it. Look
difficulty another do it again? Had a twenty pound note
like that where you're like, yeah, I got this on it. Yeah,
I don't know. It was probably a birthday or something. Okay, Yeah,
I was like, because I'm like, wait, what year was that?
I'm thinking the exchange rate. Yeah, I've never seen math magic.
(08:00):
Like what would happen when there was like ten middle
two early high schoolers at a restaurant and the bill
comes and everybody has put in twenty and we're still
fifty dollars short bill. Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, Dion Scott, you, oh,
you've forgot your wallet. When we went to Vitelos before
(08:22):
prom out of here Bro. I still remember that ship
and I was like, I only had a salad, motherfucker,
don't Oh, you were eating my motherfucking pizza little too, Dion.
Mine was Friendlies in Centerville, Ohio. That's where we used
to fun shut up. I lived there in middle school
and h R I p to friendlies. I think they've
(08:42):
gone out of business. Well, you know, so sorry to
the kids. You know, I got to learn how to
at least, you know, don't be I'm surprised that they're
tattooing each other. That was my favorite little detail. Like
I'm like, of course kids are gonna draw dicks on
stuff and stick gum places and just be farting up
and screaming and doing dumb ship. But like the fact
that like some one would look like is that child
dad turned the other one? Bad? Kids in Wisconsin? Man,
(09:07):
what is something you think is underrated? I think, oh
also internet related underrated. To just not respond. You don't
have to respond to everything with all of your feelings
and thoughts all of the time. Just you can. I mean,
I'm a comedian on the internet, so I want people
(09:28):
to know again, you guys have really nice fans. So
whatever I mean, keep replying, follow me, Amy Miller or whatever. Um.
I just you know, sometimes the thing is just a
joke and you can just be like, I enjoyed that, right,
maybe I'll retweet it. I don't need I tweeted this
like thing about a kid. I saw a target that
(09:52):
I ended up on some parenting message boards or something,
and so just like blew up, and just a number
of people that are like either attacking me because they
think I'm criticizing parenting or telling me their trauma, to
which I'm like, funk, like, I'm sorry that happened to you. Yeah,
I'm just making a joke. It was just a funny
story that like became this whole thing. And I just
(10:14):
want people to know that it's okay to say nothing, yeah,
all that, any any of the Sometimes people's egos though,
don't allow people to have the last word, and people
don't realize the the power you you give away when
you insist on engaging or trying to rationalize or justify
something you said. Yeah. I couldn't even keep up with
all of it. It was so wild. And then parents
(10:35):
arguing with each other in the comments, and I was
just like, I don't know. This was just yeah, we
did something about a kid, and parents were like that
that is offensive to me as a parent, because I yeah,
as parents, and I too am do what was it?
Just let me here, Um, I saw this little girl
(10:55):
at Target who got in trouble and her mom is
all it was her mom was all right, no, no
more happy meal, and she lost it and it was hilarious.
But it was hilarious that she lost her happy meal.
Just to clarify, she did not appear to be autistic
or special needs of any kind, which I think that
(11:16):
I know because I worked without stick kids for a
long time. Again that's another thing, but I saw a
lot of their interactions. She just was three and she
had a tantrum, but then she like calmed down very
suddenly and then looked at her mom super seriously and
was like, let me earn it back. And that was
was like, how funny is that? And then people lost
(11:39):
their God, Dawn, that is very cute. Every kid, like
we'll have a complete meltdown, Like every three year old
kid will melt down for the strangest reasons. Yes, we
all know if you've yeah, if you've been around kids ever.
And then there are all these people that just said,
like you made the story of yeah, I do have
that kind of time. Yeah, that's actually a testament to
(12:05):
that parents parenting because they've created a situation where the
child said, Okay, I'm running out of loss. Do I
address this deficit? The mom was rat like we had
a nice chuckle with each other about it because it
was so funny, and like, yeah, she was great. I
think she handled it. Yes, really funny scene. The fact
(12:26):
that anyone would object to that at all is just
I questioned their mental stability. Well, well yes, And then
a lot of people just disclose their own abuse to me,
and I was like, I'm really sorry, right, and is
this the time right what their parents did to them?
Or okay? Yeah, yeah, you can just say nothing. That's right.
(12:52):
As somebody who never posts on Instagram, I agree, you
don't ever have to say any guys, teens, what are they?
What does that word mean? No. So, a new study
from researchers at University of Texas and University of Chicago
(13:16):
hook them horns and took them to heralds. They found
a way to inoculate teens from eating fast food. Possibly
maybe what's the secret. It's photoshop. It's a photoshop contest
premise that we did it correct? Okay, Yeah, I like
(13:36):
how when you were reading this you jumped to say
you already did this study. I did this. Okay, Well,
let me explain to people who might not be familiar
with the study. You had already performed. Essentially, they found
a way to get teams eat healthier by making them
feel rebellious. So the things they found at this an experiment.
So they during what they call the intervention where they
just present these kids with information. The intervention produced and
(13:59):
in ring change in both boys and girls immediate gut
level emotional reactions to junk food marketing messages, and teenage
boys when it came to giving up junk foods, started
making healthier drink and food choices in their school cafeteria
almost immediately. So basically, they read an article that framed
corporations as being manipulative with their marketing and like making
(14:23):
junk food as addictive as possible. So the truth basically
vulnerable populations like that, you know, low income young people, right,
And they frame it as though, like this is a
very specific article that they presented to these kids, but
you'd get the same message from sitting inside one of
(14:46):
those companies marketing or sales meetings, like that's what they do, right.
So anyways, after presenting that with them, they gave these
kids the ads for some of the products that those
companies sell and just told them to make it true
by writing like basically graffiti style on top of the
(15:07):
ads to like crest some of the some of the
misconception and rebels do some sick iPad graffiti. Let me
put a mustache on this dude and black out one
of his teeth. Enjoy a burrito. But yeah, I think
we said like translated like popular ads translated for truth
or something like that. But is what you did that cracked?
(15:29):
Is what we did it correct children? So I believe
that's actually wu tang that's for children. Well, I guess
we'll go with crarect. I mean, couldn't you just show
them like only like embarrassing cool dad's eating fast food,
like a guy with like khakis and like a blue
(15:49):
tooth or whatever, Yeah, and a phone holster khakis and
they're rocking a sock and sandal and like a maga
hat or just or I just do bootcut jeans with
sneakers basically Michael Jordan dresses, uh, and interchange that with
all the different fast food things you have Michael Jordan's
(16:10):
to endorse McDonald's again the man who hates the children,
so he looks ridiculous. The what's interesting about the whole thing, though,
is that like for the boys, who underwent this intervention
quote unquote, Uh, they said that there daily purchases of
unhealthy drinks and snacks in the school cafeteria decreased by
(16:30):
compared to the control group, which was just like keep
doing your thing. But the one interesting thing was that
with when it came to the adolescent girls who were
in the experiment, their purchases were similar regardless of which
group they were in. And they're still trying to understand
like whether like what is sort of the underlying thing,
whether it was that the fact that they didn't change
(16:51):
meant that neither intervention worked, or that both were effective
for different reasons. Well, so the control group was being
presented with traditional health educational material, so it's basically this
expose style and graffiti uh teaching method was effective on
the boys, whereas just giving the information to the young
(17:15):
women was like enough. They were like okay, yeah, I
got it, well right. And that's what the researchers are
saying that they suspect that the traditional stuff was ineffective
with the boys, but influences the girls because of because
it mentions calories which they felt felt could trigger social
pressure to be thin. So they're saying, actually, the graffiti
(17:36):
method might be better because we're not trying to be like, oh,
like the calories, you don't think about that, rather than
like this is poison young man and young lady to
wake the funk up. Yeah, it's just so, I mean,
it's just to get teens tonat eat cheap, readily available food.
You know what I mean. We have a high calorie
content because you're like burning so you know energy. Yeah,
(18:01):
it's just like I mean you're like looking through the
couch for change, Like of course you're going to eat
like all that food for five bucks. Yeah, five buck
round up at Arvey's. Um, were you a big fast
food eater as a kid? Um? No, well no not
really not as a well as a kid, but not
(18:21):
so much as a teenager, right Yeah, I mostly like
ate at home and like made food or my mom
made food. But um, but yeah, it was always like
a treat. I mean it's still like a treat, especially
when I'm on the road. I was gonna say, like
when you're on the road, like, yeah, plus I'm broke,
So it's like it's actually harder to avoid as a
comedian than it was as a teenager. Mom. Yeah, because
(18:47):
with my mom being Japanese, like, I think any immigrant
kid your parents are like, I can make that at home. Yeah,
that old bit where it was not your like palapeno
Popper's mom. Really, I'm like, really gonna make a sour
dough jack rant? Really? Do you have that weird white
sauce of jack marks? I don't know what it is.
(19:07):
Definitely has more flavor than male, but I don't want
to ask, but I think it seems like what's stepping
up to is like sort of the elevated. And I
don't have any any studies on this, but just instinctively,
like the you know in and outs or like whatever
is like fast food that's cheap but has like natural
and you know, locally sourced ingredients or whatever like that
(19:28):
seems to sort of be the next thing that teens
are hopping on. And McDonald's does not know what to
do with themselves. Everybody's getting like the veggie burgers now
to like beyond Burger and impossible burger, like you can
get it, like JR. Yeah, Yeah, Taco Bell healthiest fast
food restaurant out there, as we learned on the rest
(19:52):
in piece of the MEXI melt though, what somebody on Twitter.
I'm sorry, I can't remember your handle. Kind person brought
this to my attention. I was unsourced reporting well, I
was shook to my core. I fucking walked to the
taco bell in my house and I said, I looked
at the menu. It's fucking gone. I couldn't even bring
(20:15):
myself to ask. That's all I did, was asked for
a loaded nacho taco in a case of dilla, and
I left you. You learned that somebody told you this
on Twitter and you just immediately dropped your phone, walked
the door. Within twelve hours. I was like, I got
I have to make sure I'm like I was, because
then I was. I asked him, like, are you serious,
and they said, well, at least for me in X
(20:36):
location I live, and I when it is gone. So
what was the maximum? Maximum is so simple? It was
just it was a software till you with the ground
quote unquote beef, cheese and just tomatoes. It was like
not it was the most low because I grew up
like when like broke, that was the thing that was
like less than like that ship used to be sixty
(20:57):
nine cents when I was, you know, when I was
a young man. Yeah, they had right, and that ship
slowly crept up to seventy nine eighty nine. Them became
like a buck ten or whatever. But it was like
a cheap thing that like I could get like four
of and not be totally you know, air out on
my wallet. You can still get that beans, rice and
cheese at they'll talk over it, but not outside of California.
(21:19):
I found out the BRC isn't. I ordered it somewhere
and it was like a dollar twenty five and I
was like, no, thank you. They had already made it
and I was like, no, I will pay. Just threw
it right back at him. Did you go bold on that?
Just no put fries in it? Did you guys have
fast food available at your school cafeteria? Oh no, no, no,
(21:42):
Well I went to Christian school. I went to a
cast where they had Chick fil A and Pizza Hut
personal pan pizzas. No, no, not at all. It sounds
like a good time. Yeah, it was pretty. Yeah. We
had just man, we had the fucking we had prison
food in my elementary school. It's like Lutheran School used
(22:04):
to go to and ours was good, but it was
a lot of the same stuff that was basically fast food,
like we had friedo chili pie a lot, but it's
so good. Yeah, they we would have. There was a
day that was just Salad bar Day, which was just
Iceberg and beats and ship. I was yeah. And then
there was another one called shut Salad where then they
(22:24):
would give you ham slices and bacon bits and I
was like, what are you acting like? This is two
different things. But I like the noodles with meat balls.
It's the one thing I liked the public school. I
went to middle school and head Taco Bell being in
cheese burritos. Hmm. That's crazy to me now thinking back
that they were selling middle school students Taco Bell at
(22:46):
the school. We did that in middle school too, unctually
forgot about that. Yeah, just the bean and cheese burritos,
you could buy it. We shouldn't be selling middle school
kids fast fit problem, police, I feel, And I'm just day,
you know, like someone messed up and they were like,
just go order two hundred being burritos and we'll sell
(23:07):
these mother fiers. I bet it was a high, high
level uh like decision where somebody sold the funk out
we had. We got to monetize kid, right, we had
a Taco Day in our cafeteria, But does taco sauce
would give us? Was Taco Bell taco sauce? Which is weird?
I think there was every time it was mild sauce.
(23:29):
I'm like, why don't you have Taco Bell? Why are
we doing like this weird jank gas version whatever. Now
everybody listening wants Taco Bell, and so do we, and
that's why Taco Bell sponsors this podcast the Young Brands.
If you know it's good for you, that's right. We're
going to take a quick break. We'll be right back,
(23:57):
and we're back. What is a myth? What's of the
people think it's true? You know to be false? Okay,
this one is that, um, people of color are taking
writers jobs. I see that a lot on Twitter, especially
in the writing community. Uh, that is not true. Um yeah,
So we got some stats. This was on more than
two series in seventeen season. They haven't come out yet
(24:18):
with but just thirteen points seven percent of television writers
where people of color. That means eighty six point three percent.
We're white eighty six point three percent. Um. And just
a reminder, we make up over the population U C
l A. Every year comes out with their annual Hollywood
Diversity Report. Um. This is for last year. The number
(24:44):
of shows created by people of color has risen to
nine point four percent. We did it, nine point four percent. Awesome.
When does it become unfair for the whites? So it leads?
This gets on. I got a couple more stats for you.
I just want to really drive this home because I
see this all the time, and I see people being like,
I lost my job to a diversity higher, I lost
(25:05):
my It's creating like a race war amongst of writers
and actors. Yeah, I know. I hear actors and people
talk like that kind of ship, you know, because because
I didn't get it, I didn't get it. Um leads.
Let's talk about acting. Leads played by people of color
in the top performing films increased from thirteen point nine
(25:25):
percent to nineteen point eight percent. That means eight point
eight percent are still white. Eighty percent of leads uh
in top performing films are still white. And uh, this
honestly goes on forever. I actually to tie this in,
I had I wrote in a book that came out
this year called The Good Immigrant USA. It was a
follow up to The Good Immigrant that came out in
(25:47):
the UK that um rizal med Road in um Coco
kN rod In has a bunch of essays and so
I also quoted in there. I think one of the
former U c l A ones that was Sten that
was talking about latin XT roles and we made in
the entire year. They looked at every single platform, including
streaming platforms including cable. We only made five point eight
(26:11):
percent of all speaking roles five and I think we
got bumped to like twelve. And still I think people
are mistaking the emphasis that people are putting on the
rise of people of color in creator roles as like
to overlook what the actual larger statistics are because a
lot of the examples like oh cool that person got
(26:31):
a show. That's that's a black show. This is a
Latin XT show, this is an Asian show, and it's
a story because it's noteworthy because it's and then so
people are like, oh, so I guess uh they've taken
over right. And I also think, I mean there is
if you're used to a world where it is white actors,
some white actors aren't going to get roles that used
(26:52):
to get roles. And that's a correction that needs to happen. Unfortunately.
I mean if you even played it by the straight stats,
then may be only seventy of roles should be white,
like if you're trying to reflect society at large. But
at the end of the day, like the number of
people of color becoming a larger and larger demographic in
this country, and again, look what happens people watch shows?
(27:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, those were actually the highest. That
is another thing that u c. L A Found was
did you go to school there? Okay, it's a big
fan of Wooden. It's a good business kid. Yeah, because
because you relate to more, you have a wider demographic. Yeah.
People have been turning down money to be racist in
(27:38):
Hollywood for a long time. Like that's that's a fact. Now. Granted,
they probably were just like you know, clinging to what
they their instincts were telling them because they were just
you know, well, this makes me feel better as somebody
who has grown up watching these things, and they were like,
you know, using past results to just dictate everything they
(28:01):
were doing in the future. That's how they were justifying
it to themselves. But they were essentially actively turning down
money to be racist. What is something you think is overrated.
I think sarcasm. I mean, like I don't know if
people are as into it anymore, Like are they but
like if they are stopped because it's just like it's
(28:23):
not funny. You're just being like mean, but you're trying
to be funny. I don't like sarcasm, and I don't
get it in what way like people performing stand up
and people just interacting thinking they're funny, and people in
general interactions, people like oven stopping later how I can't
(28:48):
I can't breathe. Okay, you know, but like you know
what I mean to me a recent example something that
happened where you're like, that's not it. Okay, you're being sarcastic. Okay,
Miles come up with a recent example. Yeah, I was
gonna like, I was gonna say sarcasm, but then I
was also gonna like my other answer to what's a
(29:09):
ridge as nihilism? Okay, Wow, you're going big, but stick
with sarcasm. I think that's a good one because I
do think like that was a big deal. Like for
Generation X, the only way I only spoke sarcastically from
nineteen two thousand and one after the nine eleven I
can knocked it off and you're eleven. Really, this ain't
(29:33):
it anymore? We got bigger problems right now, full full earnesty.
Oh yes, goes to prison. Yeah, I guess that's sarcasm.
It's mainly people that it's not necessarily with like comedians
using sarcasm. It's more just like regular folks who are like,
you know what I mean, like trying to be funny,
(29:54):
and I just like artenders don't need it. Yeah, we
don't need it, And I'm trying to think of like
an example. I need an example. Yeah, I know this
is what like this happens. I servers do this a lot.
And look, I get it. You can do whatever. Then
you gotta do. You gotta get through your day. But
there'll be times where I'll say, like, do you mind
if I could get some crack black pepper for this thing?
And they go no, yeah, and You're like and they're like, no,
(30:16):
be right back. I'm just kidding, and I'm like, Yo,
that was jarring for a second because I was like,
are you a fucking asshole? Yes, I mind, Yes, it
will ruin my day. Oh god, no, you can't have that, right,
No you can't. Actually, yeah, sure, I think it's tall
tall in the delivery, but I might have a real
(30:37):
life up like example, if it comes to me, I'll
be like, oh, I think it's more like in like transactions,
anything dealing with money. I don't sarcasm. If I'm a customer,
you know, like or the other one, I'll eat everything
on the plate. Oh you really hated the meal? Huh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's a good one, because then I'm supposed to be like,
(30:58):
what do you want me to say to that? No,
I liked it and I don't get it. Yeah, just
correct them or just earnestly. Correcting people's sarcasm is a
good is a good way of going forward. Just earnestly. No,
I did actually really like it. That's why I ate
all the food. Oh no, was it not clear? For
food that was on the plate has actually entered my
digestive system. Wait, what did you think happened all the
(31:20):
food that was on the plate? Uh? Just really, I
was being Um, it was a it was a joke. Anyway,
I got a lot of tables man speaking about in
fighting guys before the break, I want to talk about
a house divided, a court case that is rocking. Grand
(31:43):
Haven Michigan. Yeah, that's what I was going to guess. Yeah,
so a man is suing his parents for basically destroying
his collection. Yeah that he had worked so hard, I
mean building up it's books, baseball cards. We've we've all
had it happened to us. You come home, you're like, Mom,
(32:06):
where's all my Jason Kid Rookie cards? Thrown away? But
about the Stackhouse rookies? What if Stackhouse rookies worth like
Rookie cards? What about my Michael Jordan Electric Court upper
deck card, Electric Court gold, by the way, and Beckett
that was worth mom, and it's gone. Yeah, we all
(32:26):
know this same feeling this male. I'm putting all my
money into baseball cards. I don't care what people say
that that's still wear all my retire So this case
has been moving its way through different courts. Certain judges
didn't feel like there was an actual case to be
tried here. Um, but I want to let the listeners
(32:46):
decide the tale of To keep this person anonymous, the
news has been referring to this gentleman as Charlie. Uh So,
behold the tale of Charlie. His parents allegedly telling him
they destroyed the stuff. He's looking for that stuff, being
twelve moving boxes full of pornography. Unable to work it
out with his parents, he calls the Ottawa County Sheriff's departments,
(33:09):
declaring his collection worth about twenty nine thousand dollars, the
prosecutor's office eventually declining to press charges in the matter.
Just a month later, Charlie begins reaching out to his
dad through email, according to the lawsuits, saying, if you
had a problem with my belongings, you should have stated
that at the time and I would have gone elsewhere. Instead,
you chose to keep quiet and behave vindictively, his father
(33:31):
apparently responding, believe it or not, one reason for why
I destroyed your porn was for your own mental and
emotional health. I would have done the same if I
had found a kilo of crack cocaine someday, I hope
you'll understand. Emails continue, some bringing up Charlie's alleged past,
recalling him being kicked out of high school and even
college for selling porn to other students. Dad allegedly saying
(33:54):
I also warned you at the time if I ever
found pornography in my house again, I would destroy it. Oh, Charlie.
Charlie une elsewhere, So you just moved home as a choice.
What had happened was Charlie moved into his parents home
(34:14):
after going through a divorce. So Charlie is not a
young man. I mean, I don't know how old he is,
but yeah, And so he stayed for ten months in
his in his parents home doing housework in lieu of
paying rent. And he was asked to leave during a
domestic situation to any seventeen. And then that precipitated all
(34:34):
this other stuff going on with his poor no collection
being thrown out later on in the in the report
they're talking about, he's making the case. He's like, I
have video cassettes. Uh, they were video cassettes of material
that is so rare that it cannot be found anymore,
like and not even the production studios that made the
content have dissolved, and these are like some of the
(34:57):
only remaining remnants of this work. So he was bespoke
porn collections. He's making the case that he was a
one man moving box porn museum that, like, the culture
is now worse off because we are without his collection.
It belongs in a museum. Yelling at I mean, on
(35:17):
one hand, Diannah Jones of but stuff right on one hand,
I'm like, alright, dude, like do whatever. But then when
you hear the emails back and forth, like I'm not
trying to shame anybody who collects porn. Do what you
gotta do. But like the way the dads was writing back,
it seemed like this was negatively affecting to do his life.
(35:40):
When he was like, your I did it for your
emotional psychological well being. Yeah, if you're just watching porn.
It just doesn't like he uses the boxes. He sets
them up as a chair and he takes like that's
like all of his furniture is made of his porn boxes,
like sleeps across them with like a cot mattress. Yeah, yeah,
exactly everything. It seems like it's been a long term problem,
(36:03):
they said, being kicked play school and even college, so
dealing like for selling pornography, Like is that really a
thing you kick somebody out of a Like everybody in
high school I get because you're a mind, you could
be probably a minor, and you're like you're walking around
with like this material it's only for adults or whatever.
But in college, like what are you doing in college
(36:24):
or cause, like, hey, Charlie, we gotta talk man, right,
what mean you're running an odyssey video out of your time?
It's got a trench coat that he opens right inside
of it. It's just like lots of just pictures is
just but hole. But he never sells them because it's expensive.
And that's just how he flexes, right, He's just like,
look at look at all these buttholes. He's like, what
do you mean, Oh, you don't know this gauge video
(36:44):
from No, sir, you can go elsewhere. Why don't you
go to porn hub dot com, sir? I refuse to
sell to you. I mean, it seems like literally everybody
who's known this guy since he went through puberty has
known him as the porn guy, like the guy who
was constantly talking about porn, trying to push porn, trying
to point. And I know everybody in this room right
(37:06):
now know somebody like that from their upbringing. I'm not okay.
I Let's talk about two people. There's one kid named
Ryan in my elementary school. He got in trouble because
he would cut out the underwear ads from like the
make Company newspaper ship and being like showing us in
first grade, like yo, he got in told for that.
Another kid, I'm not gonna say his name, but we
(37:27):
have the same first name. His he like lived with
his grandfather who has so many porn tapes at his
house like that. He was the one who like you'd
be like, yo, did you get that new tape from him?
And like we would And it was like one of
those mixed tapes that were clearly just like grandpa was
doing twe DCR editing and ship and he was like
(37:47):
also selling that ship and people were like, be like, yo,
let's put like ten bucks together, get that tape it
for the internet. Yeah, out to Ryan. Yeah, we had
a guy named Tucker that similar thing, but then he
also had a screen name. He was the n YE
charity tickler that he like would message all these girls
(38:07):
in marching band and be like, I'm raising money for
a charity in New York if you send me a
tape of you being tickled, and we were all like no.
And then we all found out on like a bus
trip to a band competition that in White charity tickler
was hitting up all the girls in the brass section
and we were like who is this? And then we
figured it out was Tucker. I think he's in jail
(38:30):
though I thought I thought you said he just got
a show on Fox. Oh yeah, yeah it's a former
it's a former prison. Wow. Ye. Like it was so specific.
He's like, I want the ladies from the Brass sixtion,
I want to see tickle videos and giggling too much,
(38:51):
and he was like one step more specific than the
dude from Ticklish. They have to play brass and when like,
I need to see their ambit. Sure, Oh my dad,
did you saw that documentary? Yeah, the tickling one on HBO. Yo,
you gotta everybody listening right now if you have not
(39:14):
seen that. It's called Tickled, Tickled the HBO documentary. It
starts off about a thing that you it's about a
tickling tournament or something, and then they they peel this
motherfucking onion so many layers. You're just like the fun
is going on, and it's one of those documentaries that
starts like dark kids about this, and then it just
expands into this. Man, I gotta see it. Yeah, it's
(39:36):
it's wild. All right, we're gonna take another quick break.
We'll be right back and we're back. Well speaking about
of business. Jesse Taylor. Uh, the influencer that called the
cops on Instagram for deleting her account. Uh. Yeah, So
(40:01):
she had about a hundred thousand followers and then her
Instagram was deactivated when the quote haters reported her account.
Maybe it had something to do with the racist ship
she had said in past dreams. Anyways, we we have
some audio, not of the right Well, let me first
(40:22):
just a little bit of background. So there was an
interview with her and Insider, and she first of all
was claiming that she was making five thousand dollars over
the last three years from her Instagram account. How old
is this true? Twenty one, maybe two or something like that,
and she was basically she said that when the second
that was taken away from her, she had no other
(40:44):
option but to phone the police because it was a
fucking it was a death, as she describes it, quote,
I felt like it was a homicide, like somebody murdered
me and then went online to say I murdered this girl.
Don't even know what that I called. I called the
police actually and told them about this, and they said,
you can't compare a murder to this, and I was like, no,
(41:05):
that's exactly what it felt like. Okay, So then she
goes on YouTube, like right after her ship got deleted
and just delivers this this victim's monologue straight out of
a bizarro Lifetime film. I don't know what. Just listen
to this, hey, guys. So like, I'm in the middle
(41:27):
in my Instagram account deleted, yet I am nothing without
my following. I am nothing without my following. I want
to say to everybody that's been reporting me day twice
because you're ruined by life was some of you guys
have to realize this. I have no skills, I have notions.
(41:48):
I could never work a normal job. I am worthless,
I have I bring nothing to the table zero. I
bring nothing to the fucking table when it comes to that.
I always in a fight with people. I was gett
kicked out of places like I'm not work material. I
will never be work material. So stop fucking reporting me
(42:09):
on mother fucking Instagram. The last thing I want to
do is be a fucking less prostitute in the street
doing That's just one Norwegian stay to each other day
today an we cut that down. Uh. There are moments
where she said she was like she worked at a
strip club and claims she was a prostitute for some
(42:29):
of that time. And then but there are other parts
to where she goes after working people. She's like, I'm
not like the fucking okay who you guys, just go
do your nine to five Okay. That's why I moved
to l A so I could do Instagram because I'm
not trying to live that boring life. And then just
comes at like working people. Uh So, clearly the comments
were not kind to her and even like her. And
(42:52):
then her i G was restored and Instagram said it
was deactivated like in an error or something, due to
error or something. Now this is where I'm become a
little bit I'm a little dubious, okay, because this is
either the saddist indictment of the social media generation, I think,
or it is a very very clever marketing thing because
(43:13):
this has been written up so many times on the
pure face of Instagram. Influencer calls police because account is deleted,
and you get like everywhere from the sun to motherfucking
business inside like everybody is writing about it. So in
a way, I'm like, that's a good way to bring
some attention to your account, or I mean she was
(43:34):
seemed like those tears were legit. It did. Yeah, if
it did seem like the pain of someone who has
it is the greatest, the most pathetic, and greatest performance
since Bill Paxson and true lies. Yes she was basically
and then like really does not do much for defending
(43:55):
yourself because every time she's like, I'm not saying like, okay,
like that you're you're lame if you have a job
or whatever, She's like, but like that, I would never
work a job like you. But you know, Jesse, Yeah,
I mean those are those all sound like good things
to consider as you decide, Okay, I need to broaden
(44:17):
my skill set maybe like the things she was saying,
It's like Jesus man, I don't get along with you.
I don't get along with people, so I probably need
to like hit a therapist at least once a week.
I don't have any skills. I can't like go places
without getting thrown out. Yeah, like, yeah, those are all
problems that like you are using this Instagram thing to
(44:39):
you know, shield yourself from so let's and but also
like I don't know where she's gonna get any No
one's gonna feel bad for her. Because there are plenty
of people with like legitimate disabilities who still go to work,
who still find a way to do things, and like
this is That's where I'm like, God, are we gonna
have to take care of these like young dumb kids
were just like I don't know. I don't want a
(45:00):
word because you see a lot of people like when
she said I moved to l A to do Instagram,
I'm like that struck a chord with me because I'm like,
this is this is sort of the mirage about this
city that people do really believe because it's ship like
they see on keeping up with the Kardashians, like this
influencer really is a coveted career. Uh. And and then
(45:23):
I'm like really worried when you see people are like
just shattered over this. And I don't know where the
five thousand comes from because I didn't see many sponsored posts.
And I remember the first time I walked down in
Hollywood Boulevard, it was a rainy day and I like,
I was like, they never show this on TV. It
is like a hooker without the glitter. It's just all
rotten teeth and so creepy. Yeah. Yeah, No, there's a
(45:45):
really bad drug problem, yeah, Los Angeles. Yeah. I mean
at the same time, I do not want to say
it's a generational thing where generation they're probably smarter than millennials,
who are smarter than Gen X, who are some arder
than the Baby Boomers. I think there's one in between
there who's smarter than my grandpa. Yeah, not smarter than
(46:07):
any of our grandpa's. They were the smart if you
think about man, my grandpa din go to college with
his high school education, knows more than people that will
go to college. I feel like, yeah, well, I just
feel like just in general, like the grasp of like
there are things that I'm surprised that people who graduate
college just don't know, like basic stuff, and I'm like, wow,
the education system used to be more robust back then. Yeah,
(46:30):
but I feel like, but anyway, I'm saying my grandpa's
as smartest guy on earth. I do feel like judging
a generation by their influencers. I just don't like, we
didn't have the baby boomer equivalent of somebody who got
famous for just being like an idiot, right like they
they were famous in the UK they have like eight
(46:52):
girls or the celebrities. But remember the nineties yeah, right.
I feel like we like the maybe the plus equivalent
we've had is like reality stars up to this point, Yeah,
reality ushered in the era of of fame being the
achievement rather than you became famous for achieving. For a Yeah,
(47:15):
that that flipped around. Well, I mean I think it's
always sort of been getting there, but Reality TV just
blew that door open because now it's like, oh, yeah,
the person who screwed everyone over in that competition game show. Yeah,
like right, all right, that's gonna do it. For this
week's weekly Zeite, guys, please like and review the show.
If you like the show, uh means the world to Miles.
(47:39):
He needs your validation, folks. I hope you're having a
great weekend and I will talk to him Onnday. By
(48:01):
s
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 uh NonStop
infotainment laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here
(00:22):
is the Weekly Zeitgeist. I do want to just talk
about Meet Joe Black, because Meet Joe is back on
on social media. Uh huh, yeah, I'm on fire. I'm
on fire today, Miles. You don't have to say it.
Everyone knows it. No, that's why I'm dialing all the
fire department. Um, doctor, it's happening here. Yeah. People are
(00:49):
just rediscovering this movie and one of my favorite scenes
of all time, where Bred Pitt gets just totally wrecked
by traffic going both way, is at the beginning. It's
like one of the opening scenes of the movie. And
then there's this e r scene that maybe people can
help us with this because I might uh be legitimately
(01:11):
losing my mind. But I thought I saw it for
the first time on Thursday night, and apparently Miles and
Nick thought that we had talked about it on the
podcast before. But let's just play a brief moment. This
is when Brad Pitt, who is being inhabited by the
body of death like the grim Reaper. Uh suddenly breaks
(01:34):
into a Jamaican patois. I think it's very Uh, it's
very accurate. No, yeah, no, be a sister nod. Everything
going to be Irie, go with the doctor, Lady Mom
gonna be fine. Evil Native Loma and what you is
(01:55):
then that's not from that next place. That is. So
they're saying that if Brad Pitt meets the Devil, he
becomes Jamaican, he can just like do whatever he can inhabit.
Like so he's speaking to her in her language, and
it is I don't worry at all. I mean, not
(02:18):
beat me, not devil, so mere offering a special on
two for one. Sat Bay just signed this. It's an
indemnification agreement in case you are injured during the experience.
I don't know what again, man, cool, great call Brad
Pitt Jamaican icon. Yeah. Yeah, you know, he's like the
(02:39):
least scratch Perry of acting. Do you think is it
offensive or is it just bizarre and surreal? I don't
think it's a mix of everything. Yeah, it's so. I
think it's so offensive that I'm trying to understand how
it happened. But also I get in the creative mindset
of a script, you're just saying this person has a
(03:01):
physical presence but can tap into many spiritual things and
therefore is channeling this Jimmy cken um. But I think
it will always be jarring to see, uh, Like especially
like that stage Brad Pitt when he had like the
beautiful golden blonde hair. Uh, suddenly you know, acting like he's,
you know, the mayor of trench Town. The movie is
(03:22):
Brad Pitt maybe at his most beautiful like as a
human being, Like he he looks like he's glowing in
every scene. And it also has exactly and it also
allows him to eat a lot in the movie, which
I found out not by watching it but by doing
a bunch of research. But that is Brad pitts like
(03:42):
that's the number one thing Brad Pitt likes to do
on camera. He eat, Yeah, yeah, if you like see
have you seen Oceans eleven? Yes, and everything, Like he
just knows that he looks cool eating. And so in
this movie he is death, so he's like inhabiting a
human form for the first time, and he like gets
(04:03):
to try peanut butter for the first time, and so
you see him like he really gets to ham it
up when it comes to him, when it comes to eating.
Let's talk about Wisconsin. Uh, since we're doing the accent already. Uh.
So Wisconsin restaurants or a Wisconsin restaurant has banned middle schoolers. Uh.
(04:24):
And this story just brought me back to a time
in my life when I was a middle schooler, just
a shitty middle schooler looking for some grown up behaviors
I could do with my friends and fucking it up
beyond reproach. Hold On, I just had while we were
talking about this story. I don't remember clear for Linny
being in the departed. I don't Stump, she's not in
(04:47):
the departed. That's a merry. What's her name? You burned me? Stump,
you burned us. Let's talk about this Wisconsin restaurant, the
banded middle schoolers. I would have had no place to
order water and try and buy cigarettes out of the
(05:07):
back like cigarette vending machine, and then fight over a
twelve dollar bill with my friends. So apparently Tom's drive In,
Tom's sorry, that was me. So apparently Tom's Drive In
in Fox Cities, Wisconsin has had it. Tom's you burned me,
so they have. They put a sign up in their
(05:28):
window are on the door. It says middle school students
highlighted due to mistreatment of Tom's drive ins, property, guests,
and staff. You are no longer inside of the building
without parental supervision. For those who did not cause any
of the incidents, we are sorry for this. Inconvenience, you
may still purchase food through the walk up window now
(05:49):
w f RV Local five news. Uh, they were saying
that this has been a problem because they've just been
acting out of pocket. So we're talking carving into booths,
drawing genitalia with sharpie markers, making just a fucking mess
of the restaurant in bathroom, stealing soda, fighting with customers,
yelling profanities at the manager, even tattooing. So I think
(06:13):
they were using like jail house ship in and needles
like when the like the only the wildest middle schoolers
do thrust shout out to my homegirl Sarah, who has
like a smiley face to this day that looks like
a crying circle and it says, yeah, so anyway, these
so the cops didn't even call. They were just trying
to deal with it, and apparently they just they broke.
(06:33):
And I get it because if honestly, being a young
child with no job at a restaurant, like as a patron,
you do not know how to act first of all,
because you're normally. For me, when I was in a restaurant,
I was with with my parents, and then the second
I'm in there feeling like an adult, of course I'm
going to act out the dumbest ship while six of
us are trying to spend thirteen dollars on fries and
(06:56):
then fighting over one drink. Yeah, totally. I remember when
I went, we used to always go Pizza Hut because
I lived in Perth in Scotland, so it was like
a small town. There's like one pizza hut that like
allowed all the kids in and we would get all
I mean, it was just kind of where we would
all hang out and I remember we want we'd get
(07:16):
our like ice cream and pizza and the chili flavors,
the parmesan. We'd put it all in one thing and
it would be like, I bet you twenty pounds if
you drink that, I'll give you twenty pounds, and all
the guys were like, no way, no way, and I
was like I'll try it, and I actually enjoyed it.
It tasted amazing. It was like weirdly tasted like licorice.
And then they were like they almost didn't want to
(07:38):
give it to me because I was sjoying it. Look
difficulty another do it again? Had a twenty pound note
like that where you're like, yeah, I got this on it. Yeah,
I don't know. It was probably a birthday or something. Okay, Yeah,
I was like, because I'm like, wait, what year was that?
I'm thinking the exchange rate. Yeah, I've never seen math magic.
(08:00):
Like what would happen when there was like ten middle
two early high schoolers at a restaurant and the bill
comes and everybody has put in twenty and we're still
fifty dollars short bill. Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, Dion Scott, you, oh,
you've forgot your wallet. When we went to Vitelos before
(08:22):
prom out of here Bro. I still remember that ship
and I was like, I only had a salad, motherfucker,
don't Oh, you were eating my motherfucking pizza little too, Dion.
Mine was Friendlies in Centerville, Ohio. That's where we used
to fun shut up. I lived there in middle school
and h R I p to friendlies. I think they've
(08:42):
gone out of business. Well, you know, so sorry to
the kids. You know, I got to learn how to
at least, you know, don't be I'm surprised that they're
tattooing each other. That was my favorite little detail. Like
I'm like, of course kids are gonna draw dicks on
stuff and stick gum places and just be farting up
and screaming and doing dumb ship. But like the fact
that like some one would look like is that child
dad turned the other one? Bad? Kids in Wisconsin? Man,
(09:07):
what is something you think is underrated? I think, oh
also internet related underrated. To just not respond. You don't
have to respond to everything with all of your feelings
and thoughts all of the time. Just you can. I mean,
I'm a comedian on the internet, so I want people
(09:28):
to know again, you guys have really nice fans. So
whatever I mean, keep replying, follow me, Amy Miller or whatever. Um.
I just you know, sometimes the thing is just a
joke and you can just be like, I enjoyed that, right,
maybe I'll retweet it. I don't need I tweeted this
like thing about a kid. I saw a target that
(09:52):
I ended up on some parenting message boards or something,
and so just like blew up, and just a number
of people that are like either attacking me because they
think I'm criticizing parenting or telling me their trauma, to
which I'm like, funk, like, I'm sorry that happened to you. Yeah,
I'm just making a joke. It was just a funny
story that like became this whole thing. And I just
(10:14):
want people to know that it's okay to say nothing, yeah,
all that, any any of the Sometimes people's egos though,
don't allow people to have the last word, and people
don't realize the the power you you give away when
you insist on engaging or trying to rationalize or justify
something you said. Yeah. I couldn't even keep up with
all of it. It was so wild. And then parents
(10:35):
arguing with each other in the comments, and I was
just like, I don't know. This was just yeah, we
did something about a kid, and parents were like that
that is offensive to me as a parent, because I yeah,
as parents, and I too am do what was it?
Just let me here, Um, I saw this little girl
(10:55):
at Target who got in trouble and her mom is
all it was her mom was all right, no, no
more happy meal, and she lost it and it was hilarious.
But it was hilarious that she lost her happy meal.
Just to clarify, she did not appear to be autistic
or special needs of any kind, which I think that
(11:16):
I know because I worked without stick kids for a
long time. Again that's another thing, but I saw a
lot of their interactions. She just was three and she
had a tantrum, but then she like calmed down very
suddenly and then looked at her mom super seriously and
was like, let me earn it back. And that was
was like, how funny is that? And then people lost
(11:39):
their God, Dawn, that is very cute. Every kid, like
we'll have a complete meltdown, Like every three year old
kid will melt down for the strangest reasons. Yes, we
all know if you've yeah, if you've been around kids ever.
And then there are all these people that just said,
like you made the story of yeah, I do have
that kind of time. Yeah, that's actually a testament to
(12:05):
that parents parenting because they've created a situation where the
child said, Okay, I'm running out of loss. Do I
address this deficit? The mom was rat like we had
a nice chuckle with each other about it because it
was so funny, and like, yeah, she was great. I
think she handled it. Yes, really funny scene. The fact
(12:26):
that anyone would object to that at all is just
I questioned their mental stability. Well, well yes, And then
a lot of people just disclose their own abuse to me,
and I was like, I'm really sorry, right, and is
this the time right what their parents did to them?
Or okay? Yeah, yeah, you can just say nothing. That's right.
(12:52):
As somebody who never posts on Instagram, I agree, you
don't ever have to say any guys, teens, what are they?
What does that word mean? No. So, a new study
from researchers at University of Texas and University of Chicago
(13:16):
hook them horns and took them to heralds. They found
a way to inoculate teens from eating fast food. Possibly
maybe what's the secret. It's photoshop. It's a photoshop contest
premise that we did it correct? Okay, Yeah, I like
(13:36):
how when you were reading this you jumped to say
you already did this study. I did this. Okay, Well,
let me explain to people who might not be familiar
with the study. You had already performed. Essentially, they found
a way to get teams eat healthier by making them
feel rebellious. So the things they found at this an experiment.
So they during what they call the intervention where they
just present these kids with information. The intervention produced and
(13:59):
in ring change in both boys and girls immediate gut
level emotional reactions to junk food marketing messages, and teenage
boys when it came to giving up junk foods, started
making healthier drink and food choices in their school cafeteria
almost immediately. So basically, they read an article that framed
corporations as being manipulative with their marketing and like making
(14:23):
junk food as addictive as possible. So the truth basically
vulnerable populations like that, you know, low income young people, right,
And they frame it as though, like this is a
very specific article that they presented to these kids, but
you'd get the same message from sitting inside one of
(14:46):
those companies marketing or sales meetings, like that's what they do, right.
So anyways, after presenting that with them, they gave these
kids the ads for some of the products that those
companies sell and just told them to make it true
by writing like basically graffiti style on top of the
(15:07):
ads to like crest some of the some of the
misconception and rebels do some sick iPad graffiti. Let me
put a mustache on this dude and black out one
of his teeth. Enjoy a burrito. But yeah, I think
we said like translated like popular ads translated for truth
or something like that. But is what you did that cracked?
(15:29):
Is what we did it correct children? So I believe
that's actually wu tang that's for children. Well, I guess
we'll go with crarect. I mean, couldn't you just show
them like only like embarrassing cool dad's eating fast food,
like a guy with like khakis and like a blue
(15:49):
tooth or whatever, Yeah, and a phone holster khakis and
they're rocking a sock and sandal and like a maga
hat or just or I just do bootcut jeans with
sneakers basically Michael Jordan dresses, uh, and interchange that with
all the different fast food things you have Michael Jordan's
(16:10):
to endorse McDonald's again the man who hates the children,
so he looks ridiculous. The what's interesting about the whole thing, though,
is that like for the boys, who underwent this intervention
quote unquote, Uh, they said that there daily purchases of
unhealthy drinks and snacks in the school cafeteria decreased by
(16:30):
compared to the control group, which was just like keep
doing your thing. But the one interesting thing was that
with when it came to the adolescent girls who were
in the experiment, their purchases were similar regardless of which
group they were in. And they're still trying to understand
like whether like what is sort of the underlying thing,
whether it was that the fact that they didn't change
(16:51):
meant that neither intervention worked, or that both were effective
for different reasons. Well, so the control group was being
presented with traditional health educational material, so it's basically this
expose style and graffiti uh teaching method was effective on
the boys, whereas just giving the information to the young
(17:15):
women was like enough. They were like okay, yeah, I
got it, well right. And that's what the researchers are
saying that they suspect that the traditional stuff was ineffective
with the boys, but influences the girls because of because
it mentions calories which they felt felt could trigger social
pressure to be thin. So they're saying, actually, the graffiti
(17:36):
method might be better because we're not trying to be like, oh,
like the calories, you don't think about that, rather than
like this is poison young man and young lady to
wake the funk up. Yeah, it's just so, I mean,
it's just to get teens tonat eat cheap, readily available food.
You know what I mean. We have a high calorie
content because you're like burning so you know energy. Yeah,
(18:01):
it's just like I mean you're like looking through the
couch for change, Like of course you're going to eat
like all that food for five bucks. Yeah, five buck
round up at Arvey's. Um, were you a big fast
food eater as a kid? Um? No, well no not
really not as a well as a kid, but not
(18:21):
so much as a teenager, right Yeah, I mostly like
ate at home and like made food or my mom
made food. But um, but yeah, it was always like
a treat. I mean it's still like a treat, especially
when I'm on the road. I was gonna say, like
when you're on the road, like, yeah, plus I'm broke,
So it's like it's actually harder to avoid as a
comedian than it was as a teenager. Mom. Yeah, because
(18:47):
with my mom being Japanese, like, I think any immigrant
kid your parents are like, I can make that at home. Yeah,
that old bit where it was not your like palapeno
Popper's mom. Really, I'm like, really gonna make a sour
dough jack rant? Really? Do you have that weird white
sauce of jack marks? I don't know what it is.
(19:07):
Definitely has more flavor than male, but I don't want
to ask, but I think it seems like what's stepping
up to is like sort of the elevated. And I
don't have any any studies on this, but just instinctively,
like the you know in and outs or like whatever
is like fast food that's cheap but has like natural
and you know, locally sourced ingredients or whatever like that
(19:28):
seems to sort of be the next thing that teens
are hopping on. And McDonald's does not know what to
do with themselves. Everybody's getting like the veggie burgers now
to like beyond Burger and impossible burger, like you can
get it, like JR. Yeah, Yeah, Taco Bell healthiest fast
food restaurant out there, as we learned on the rest
(19:52):
in piece of the MEXI melt though, what somebody on Twitter.
I'm sorry, I can't remember your handle. Kind person brought
this to my attention. I was unsourced reporting well, I
was shook to my core. I fucking walked to the
taco bell in my house and I said, I looked
at the menu. It's fucking gone. I couldn't even bring
(20:15):
myself to ask. That's all I did, was asked for
a loaded nacho taco in a case of dilla, and
I left you. You learned that somebody told you this
on Twitter and you just immediately dropped your phone, walked
the door. Within twelve hours. I was like, I got
I have to make sure I'm like I was, because
then I was. I asked him, like, are you serious,
and they said, well, at least for me in X
(20:36):
location I live, and I when it is gone. So
what was the maximum? Maximum is so simple? It was
just it was a software till you with the ground
quote unquote beef, cheese and just tomatoes. It was like
not it was the most low because I grew up
like when like broke, that was the thing that was
like less than like that ship used to be sixty
(20:57):
nine cents when I was, you know, when I was
a young man. Yeah, they had right, and that ship
slowly crept up to seventy nine eighty nine. Them became
like a buck ten or whatever. But it was like
a cheap thing that like I could get like four
of and not be totally you know, air out on
my wallet. You can still get that beans, rice and
cheese at they'll talk over it, but not outside of California.
(21:19):
I found out the BRC isn't. I ordered it somewhere
and it was like a dollar twenty five and I
was like, no, thank you. They had already made it
and I was like, no, I will pay. Just threw
it right back at him. Did you go bold on that?
Just no put fries in it? Did you guys have
fast food available at your school cafeteria? Oh no, no, no,
(21:42):
Well I went to Christian school. I went to a
cast where they had Chick fil A and Pizza Hut
personal pan pizzas. No, no, not at all. It sounds
like a good time. Yeah, it was pretty. Yeah. We
had just man, we had the fucking we had prison
food in my elementary school. It's like Lutheran School used
(22:04):
to go to and ours was good, but it was
a lot of the same stuff that was basically fast food,
like we had friedo chili pie a lot, but it's
so good. Yeah, they we would have. There was a
day that was just Salad bar Day, which was just
Iceberg and beats and ship. I was yeah. And then
there was another one called shut Salad where then they
(22:24):
would give you ham slices and bacon bits and I
was like, what are you acting like? This is two
different things. But I like the noodles with meat balls.
It's the one thing I liked the public school. I
went to middle school and head Taco Bell being in
cheese burritos. Hmm. That's crazy to me now thinking back
that they were selling middle school students Taco Bell at
(22:46):
the school. We did that in middle school too, unctually
forgot about that. Yeah, just the bean and cheese burritos,
you could buy it. We shouldn't be selling middle school
kids fast fit problem, police, I feel, And I'm just day,
you know, like someone messed up and they were like,
just go order two hundred being burritos and we'll sell
(23:07):
these mother fiers. I bet it was a high, high
level uh like decision where somebody sold the funk out
we had. We got to monetize kid, right, we had
a Taco Day in our cafeteria, But does taco sauce
would give us? Was Taco Bell taco sauce? Which is weird?
I think there was every time it was mild sauce.
(23:29):
I'm like, why don't you have Taco Bell? Why are
we doing like this weird jank gas version whatever. Now
everybody listening wants Taco Bell, and so do we, and
that's why Taco Bell sponsors this podcast the Young Brands.
If you know it's good for you, that's right. We're
going to take a quick break. We'll be right back,
(23:57):
and we're back. What is a myth? What's of the
people think it's true? You know to be false? Okay,
this one is that, um, people of color are taking
writers jobs. I see that a lot on Twitter, especially
in the writing community. Uh, that is not true. Um yeah,
So we got some stats. This was on more than
two series in seventeen season. They haven't come out yet
(24:18):
with but just thirteen points seven percent of television writers
where people of color. That means eighty six point three percent.
We're white eighty six point three percent. Um. And just
a reminder, we make up over the population U C
l A. Every year comes out with their annual Hollywood
Diversity Report. Um. This is for last year. The number
(24:44):
of shows created by people of color has risen to
nine point four percent. We did it, nine point four percent. Awesome.
When does it become unfair for the whites? So it leads?
This gets on. I got a couple more stats for you.
I just want to really drive this home because I
see this all the time, and I see people being like,
I lost my job to a diversity higher, I lost
(25:05):
my It's creating like a race war amongst of writers
and actors. Yeah, I know. I hear actors and people
talk like that kind of ship, you know, because because
I didn't get it, I didn't get it. Um leads.
Let's talk about acting. Leads played by people of color
in the top performing films increased from thirteen point nine
(25:25):
percent to nineteen point eight percent. That means eight point
eight percent are still white. Eighty percent of leads uh
in top performing films are still white. And uh, this
honestly goes on forever. I actually to tie this in,
I had I wrote in a book that came out
this year called The Good Immigrant USA. It was a
follow up to The Good Immigrant that came out in
(25:47):
the UK that um rizal med Road in um Coco
kN rod In has a bunch of essays and so
I also quoted in there. I think one of the
former U c l A ones that was Sten that
was talking about latin XT roles and we made in
the entire year. They looked at every single platform, including
streaming platforms including cable. We only made five point eight
(26:11):
percent of all speaking roles five and I think we
got bumped to like twelve. And still I think people
are mistaking the emphasis that people are putting on the
rise of people of color in creator roles as like
to overlook what the actual larger statistics are because a
lot of the examples like oh cool that person got
(26:31):
a show. That's that's a black show. This is a
Latin XT show, this is an Asian show, and it's
a story because it's noteworthy because it's and then so
people are like, oh, so I guess uh they've taken
over right. And I also think, I mean there is
if you're used to a world where it is white actors,
some white actors aren't going to get roles that used
(26:52):
to get roles. And that's a correction that needs to happen. Unfortunately.
I mean if you even played it by the straight stats,
then may be only seventy of roles should be white,
like if you're trying to reflect society at large. But
at the end of the day, like the number of
people of color becoming a larger and larger demographic in
this country, and again, look what happens people watch shows?
(27:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, those were actually the highest. That
is another thing that u c. L A Found was
did you go to school there? Okay, it's a big
fan of Wooden. It's a good business kid. Yeah, because
because you relate to more, you have a wider demographic. Yeah.
People have been turning down money to be racist in
(27:38):
Hollywood for a long time. Like that's that's a fact. Now. Granted,
they probably were just like you know, clinging to what
they their instincts were telling them because they were just
you know, well, this makes me feel better as somebody
who has grown up watching these things, and they were like,
you know, using past results to just dictate everything they
(28:01):
were doing in the future. That's how they were justifying
it to themselves. But they were essentially actively turning down
money to be racist. What is something you think is overrated.
I think sarcasm. I mean, like I don't know if
people are as into it anymore, Like are they but
like if they are stopped because it's just like it's
(28:23):
not funny. You're just being like mean, but you're trying
to be funny. I don't like sarcasm, and I don't
get it in what way like people performing stand up
and people just interacting thinking they're funny, and people in
general interactions, people like oven stopping later how I can't
(28:48):
I can't breathe. Okay, you know, but like you know
what I mean to me a recent example something that
happened where you're like, that's not it. Okay, you're being sarcastic. Okay,
Miles come up with a recent example. Yeah, I was
gonna like, I was gonna say sarcasm, but then I
was also gonna like my other answer to what's a
(29:09):
ridge as nihilism? Okay, Wow, you're going big, but stick
with sarcasm. I think that's a good one because I
do think like that was a big deal. Like for
Generation X, the only way I only spoke sarcastically from
nineteen two thousand and one after the nine eleven I
can knocked it off and you're eleven. Really, this ain't
(29:33):
it anymore? We got bigger problems right now, full full earnesty.
Oh yes, goes to prison. Yeah, I guess that's sarcasm.
It's mainly people that it's not necessarily with like comedians
using sarcasm. It's more just like regular folks who are like,
you know what I mean, like trying to be funny,
(29:54):
and I just like artenders don't need it. Yeah, we
don't need it, And I'm trying to think of like
an example. I need an example. Yeah, I know this
is what like this happens. I servers do this a lot.
And look, I get it. You can do whatever. Then
you gotta do. You gotta get through your day. But
there'll be times where I'll say, like, do you mind
if I could get some crack black pepper for this thing?
And they go no, yeah, and You're like and they're like, no,
(30:16):
be right back. I'm just kidding, and I'm like, Yo,
that was jarring for a second because I was like,
are you a fucking asshole? Yes, I mind, Yes, it
will ruin my day. Oh god, no, you can't have that, right,
No you can't. Actually, yeah, sure, I think it's tall
tall in the delivery, but I might have a real
(30:37):
life up like example, if it comes to me, I'll
be like, oh, I think it's more like in like transactions,
anything dealing with money. I don't sarcasm. If I'm a customer,
you know, like or the other one, I'll eat everything
on the plate. Oh you really hated the meal? Huh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's a good one, because then I'm supposed to be like,
(30:58):
what do you want me to say to that? No,
I liked it and I don't get it. Yeah, just
correct them or just earnestly. Correcting people's sarcasm is a
good is a good way of going forward. Just earnestly. No,
I did actually really like it. That's why I ate
all the food. Oh no, was it not clear? For
food that was on the plate has actually entered my
digestive system. Wait, what did you think happened all the
(31:20):
food that was on the plate? Uh? Just really, I
was being Um, it was a it was a joke. Anyway,
I got a lot of tables man speaking about in
fighting guys before the break, I want to talk about
a house divided, a court case that is rocking. Grand
(31:43):
Haven Michigan. Yeah, that's what I was going to guess. Yeah,
so a man is suing his parents for basically destroying
his collection. Yeah that he had worked so hard, I
mean building up it's books, baseball cards. We've we've all
had it happened to us. You come home, you're like, Mom,
(32:06):
where's all my Jason Kid Rookie cards? Thrown away? But
about the Stackhouse rookies? What if Stackhouse rookies worth like
Rookie cards? What about my Michael Jordan Electric Court upper
deck card, Electric Court gold, by the way, and Beckett
that was worth mom, and it's gone. Yeah, we all
(32:26):
know this same feeling this male. I'm putting all my
money into baseball cards. I don't care what people say
that that's still wear all my retire So this case
has been moving its way through different courts. Certain judges
didn't feel like there was an actual case to be
tried here. Um, but I want to let the listeners
(32:46):
decide the tale of To keep this person anonymous, the
news has been referring to this gentleman as Charlie. Uh So,
behold the tale of Charlie. His parents allegedly telling him
they destroyed the stuff. He's looking for that stuff, being
twelve moving boxes full of pornography. Unable to work it
out with his parents, he calls the Ottawa County Sheriff's departments,
(33:09):
declaring his collection worth about twenty nine thousand dollars, the
prosecutor's office eventually declining to press charges in the matter.
Just a month later, Charlie begins reaching out to his
dad through email, according to the lawsuits, saying, if you
had a problem with my belongings, you should have stated
that at the time and I would have gone elsewhere. Instead,
you chose to keep quiet and behave vindictively, his father
(33:31):
apparently responding, believe it or not, one reason for why
I destroyed your porn was for your own mental and
emotional health. I would have done the same if I
had found a kilo of crack cocaine someday, I hope
you'll understand. Emails continue, some bringing up Charlie's alleged past,
recalling him being kicked out of high school and even
college for selling porn to other students. Dad allegedly saying
(33:54):
I also warned you at the time if I ever
found pornography in my house again, I would destroy it. Oh, Charlie.
Charlie une elsewhere, So you just moved home as a choice.
What had happened was Charlie moved into his parents home
(34:14):
after going through a divorce. So Charlie is not a
young man. I mean, I don't know how old he is,
but yeah, And so he stayed for ten months in
his in his parents home doing housework in lieu of
paying rent. And he was asked to leave during a
domestic situation to any seventeen. And then that precipitated all
(34:34):
this other stuff going on with his poor no collection
being thrown out later on in the in the report
they're talking about, he's making the case. He's like, I
have video cassettes. Uh, they were video cassettes of material
that is so rare that it cannot be found anymore,
like and not even the production studios that made the
content have dissolved, and these are like some of the
(34:57):
only remaining remnants of this work. So he was bespoke
porn collections. He's making the case that he was a
one man moving box porn museum that, like, the culture
is now worse off because we are without his collection.
It belongs in a museum. Yelling at I mean, on
(35:17):
one hand, Diannah Jones of but stuff right on one hand,
I'm like, alright, dude, like do whatever. But then when
you hear the emails back and forth, like I'm not
trying to shame anybody who collects porn. Do what you
gotta do. But like the way the dads was writing back,
it seemed like this was negatively affecting to do his life.
(35:40):
When he was like, your I did it for your
emotional psychological well being. Yeah, if you're just watching porn.
It just doesn't like he uses the boxes. He sets
them up as a chair and he takes like that's
like all of his furniture is made of his porn boxes,
like sleeps across them with like a cot mattress. Yeah, yeah,
exactly everything. It seems like it's been a long term problem,
(36:03):
they said, being kicked play school and even college, so
dealing like for selling pornography, Like is that really a
thing you kick somebody out of a Like everybody in
high school I get because you're a mind, you could
be probably a minor, and you're like you're walking around
with like this material it's only for adults or whatever.
But in college, like what are you doing in college
(36:24):
or cause, like, hey, Charlie, we gotta talk man, right,
what mean you're running an odyssey video out of your time?
It's got a trench coat that he opens right inside
of it. It's just like lots of just pictures is
just but hole. But he never sells them because it's expensive.
And that's just how he flexes, right, He's just like,
look at look at all these buttholes. He's like, what
do you mean, Oh, you don't know this gauge video
(36:44):
from No, sir, you can go elsewhere. Why don't you
go to porn hub dot com, sir? I refuse to
sell to you. I mean, it seems like literally everybody
who's known this guy since he went through puberty has
known him as the porn guy, like the guy who
was constantly talking about porn, trying to push porn, trying
to point. And I know everybody in this room right
(37:06):
now know somebody like that from their upbringing. I'm not okay.
I Let's talk about two people. There's one kid named
Ryan in my elementary school. He got in trouble because
he would cut out the underwear ads from like the
make Company newspaper ship and being like showing us in
first grade, like yo, he got in told for that.
Another kid, I'm not gonna say his name, but we
(37:27):
have the same first name. His he like lived with
his grandfather who has so many porn tapes at his
house like that. He was the one who like you'd
be like, yo, did you get that new tape from him?
And like we would And it was like one of
those mixed tapes that were clearly just like grandpa was
doing twe DCR editing and ship and he was like
(37:47):
also selling that ship and people were like, be like, yo,
let's put like ten bucks together, get that tape it
for the internet. Yeah, out to Ryan. Yeah, we had
a guy named Tucker that similar thing, but then he
also had a screen name. He was the n YE
charity tickler that he like would message all these girls
(38:07):
in marching band and be like, I'm raising money for
a charity in New York if you send me a
tape of you being tickled, and we were all like no.
And then we all found out on like a bus
trip to a band competition that in White charity tickler
was hitting up all the girls in the brass section
and we were like who is this? And then we
figured it out was Tucker. I think he's in jail
(38:30):
though I thought I thought you said he just got
a show on Fox. Oh yeah, yeah it's a former
it's a former prison. Wow. Ye. Like it was so specific.
He's like, I want the ladies from the Brass sixtion,
I want to see tickle videos and giggling too much,
(38:51):
and he was like one step more specific than the
dude from Ticklish. They have to play brass and when like,
I need to see their ambit. Sure, Oh my dad,
did you saw that documentary? Yeah, the tickling one on HBO. Yo,
you gotta everybody listening right now if you have not
(39:14):
seen that. It's called Tickled, Tickled the HBO documentary. It
starts off about a thing that you it's about a
tickling tournament or something, and then they they peel this
motherfucking onion so many layers. You're just like the fun
is going on, and it's one of those documentaries that
starts like dark kids about this, and then it just
expands into this. Man, I gotta see it. Yeah, it's
(39:36):
it's wild. All right, we're gonna take another quick break.
We'll be right back and we're back. Well speaking about
of business. Jesse Taylor. Uh, the influencer that called the
cops on Instagram for deleting her account. Uh. Yeah, So
(40:01):
she had about a hundred thousand followers and then her
Instagram was deactivated when the quote haters reported her account.
Maybe it had something to do with the racist ship
she had said in past dreams. Anyways, we we have
some audio, not of the right Well, let me first
(40:22):
just a little bit of background. So there was an
interview with her and Insider, and she first of all
was claiming that she was making five thousand dollars over
the last three years from her Instagram account. How old
is this true? Twenty one, maybe two or something like that,
and she was basically she said that when the second
that was taken away from her, she had no other
(40:44):
option but to phone the police because it was a
fucking it was a death, as she describes it, quote,
I felt like it was a homicide, like somebody murdered
me and then went online to say I murdered this girl.
Don't even know what that I called. I called the
police actually and told them about this, and they said,
you can't compare a murder to this, and I was like, no,
(41:05):
that's exactly what it felt like. Okay, So then she
goes on YouTube, like right after her ship got deleted
and just delivers this this victim's monologue straight out of
a bizarro Lifetime film. I don't know what. Just listen
to this, hey, guys. So like, I'm in the middle
(41:27):
in my Instagram account deleted, yet I am nothing without
my following. I am nothing without my following. I want
to say to everybody that's been reporting me day twice
because you're ruined by life was some of you guys
have to realize this. I have no skills, I have notions.
(41:48):
I could never work a normal job. I am worthless,
I have I bring nothing to the table zero. I
bring nothing to the fucking table when it comes to that.
I always in a fight with people. I was gett
kicked out of places like I'm not work material. I
will never be work material. So stop fucking reporting me
(42:09):
on mother fucking Instagram. The last thing I want to
do is be a fucking less prostitute in the street
doing That's just one Norwegian stay to each other day
today an we cut that down. Uh. There are moments
where she said she was like she worked at a
strip club and claims she was a prostitute for some
(42:29):
of that time. And then but there are other parts
to where she goes after working people. She's like, I'm
not like the fucking okay who you guys, just go
do your nine to five Okay. That's why I moved
to l A so I could do Instagram because I'm
not trying to live that boring life. And then just
comes at like working people. Uh So, clearly the comments
were not kind to her and even like her. And
(42:52):
then her i G was restored and Instagram said it
was deactivated like in an error or something, due to
error or something. Now this is where I'm become a
little bit I'm a little dubious, okay, because this is
either the saddist indictment of the social media generation, I think,
or it is a very very clever marketing thing because
(43:13):
this has been written up so many times on the
pure face of Instagram. Influencer calls police because account is deleted,
and you get like everywhere from the sun to motherfucking
business inside like everybody is writing about it. So in
a way, I'm like, that's a good way to bring
some attention to your account, or I mean she was
(43:34):
seemed like those tears were legit. It did. Yeah, if
it did seem like the pain of someone who has
it is the greatest, the most pathetic, and greatest performance
since Bill Paxson and true lies. Yes she was basically
and then like really does not do much for defending
(43:55):
yourself because every time she's like, I'm not saying like, okay,
like that you're you're lame if you have a job
or whatever, She's like, but like that, I would never
work a job like you. But you know, Jesse, Yeah,
I mean those are those all sound like good things
to consider as you decide, Okay, I need to broaden
(44:17):
my skill set maybe like the things she was saying,
It's like Jesus man, I don't get along with you.
I don't get along with people, so I probably need
to like hit a therapist at least once a week.
I don't have any skills. I can't like go places
without getting thrown out. Yeah, like, yeah, those are all
problems that like you are using this Instagram thing to
(44:39):
you know, shield yourself from so let's and but also
like I don't know where she's gonna get any No
one's gonna feel bad for her. Because there are plenty
of people with like legitimate disabilities who still go to work,
who still find a way to do things, and like
this is That's where I'm like, God, are we gonna
have to take care of these like young dumb kids
were just like I don't know. I don't want a
(45:00):
word because you see a lot of people like when
she said I moved to l A to do Instagram,
I'm like that struck a chord with me because I'm like,
this is this is sort of the mirage about this
city that people do really believe because it's ship like
they see on keeping up with the Kardashians, like this
influencer really is a coveted career. Uh. And and then
(45:23):
I'm like really worried when you see people are like
just shattered over this. And I don't know where the
five thousand comes from because I didn't see many sponsored posts.
And I remember the first time I walked down in
Hollywood Boulevard, it was a rainy day and I like,
I was like, they never show this on TV. It
is like a hooker without the glitter. It's just all
rotten teeth and so creepy. Yeah. Yeah, No, there's a
(45:45):
really bad drug problem, yeah, Los Angeles. Yeah. I mean
at the same time, I do not want to say
it's a generational thing where generation they're probably smarter than millennials,
who are smarter than Gen X, who are some arder
than the Baby Boomers. I think there's one in between
there who's smarter than my grandpa. Yeah, not smarter than
(46:07):
any of our grandpa's. They were the smart if you
think about man, my grandpa din go to college with
his high school education, knows more than people that will
go to college. I feel like, yeah, well, I just
feel like just in general, like the grasp of like
there are things that I'm surprised that people who graduate
college just don't know, like basic stuff, and I'm like, wow,
the education system used to be more robust back then. Yeah,
(46:30):
but I feel like, but anyway, I'm saying my grandpa's
as smartest guy on earth. I do feel like judging
a generation by their influencers. I just don't like, we
didn't have the baby boomer equivalent of somebody who got
famous for just being like an idiot, right like they
they were famous in the UK they have like eight
(46:52):
girls or the celebrities. But remember the nineties yeah, right.
I feel like we like the maybe the plus equivalent
we've had is like reality stars up to this point, Yeah,
reality ushered in the era of of fame being the
achievement rather than you became famous for achieving. For a Yeah,
(47:15):
that that flipped around. Well, I mean I think it's
always sort of been getting there, but Reality TV just
blew that door open because now it's like, oh, yeah,
the person who screwed everyone over in that competition game show. Yeah,
like right, all right, that's gonna do it. For this
week's weekly Zeite, guys, please like and review the show.
