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

(00:25):
What is something you think is overrated? Um? Mansions? You
like more a cozy home? Degree? Why anybody needs all
those rooms? It's just more rooms that like an intruder
could be a right. Let's be honest. If you have
a mansion, how do you know that it's empty when
you're in there alone? And like maybe if you had

(00:46):
like thirty people that lived in your house, you need
thirty rooms. But otherwise, why do you need all those rooms?
We need them to put space between you and the
spouse that you despise. Yeah, and which is you know,
get a condo, get your get too condos? Is this
something you're experiencing right now? Yeah, sitting in my mansion

(01:07):
and I'm like, why don't need all these rooms? Like
why don't need a movie theater here? Like I can
go see another I can go to another place. I
don't know, Um no, not at all. I do just
think about that, Like, you know, once this this career
of being a drag queen that talks about ghosts for
a living really takes off, and it's and it's time
to buy a mansion? Should I or should I give

(01:28):
it all to people that need it? You should buy
a haunted one. Yes, that feels right. Yeah, a haunted
mansion because then it's kind of occupied. Yeah, there you go, roommates.
But yeah, I do feel like the bigger the house,
the spooker it is if haunted, unless it's like a
modern like ugly monster. The best ghost mansion is the

(01:51):
Winchester Mystery House. Yeah. And now that's got a lot
of rooms, a lot, but they're to confuse the ghosts somehow,
But it just seems like it's more places for the
ghosts to go. That's right, Yes, but it was built
she she built it continuously to like confuse ghost And
there's like doors that open and nowhere, so the ghost
will be like, yeah, wait a minute, the ghost will

(02:13):
fall and break. There are these ghosts that can't walk
through walls. I don't think. I don't think that's I
think I don't know. She had a very specific set
of rules in mind as she was building. These are
things that I talked about on my podcast Ghosted by
Ras Dress for Less Available Everywhere. Um, we talk about
things like this, like I don't know what ghosts can

(02:34):
do and can't do. And you know, people always think like, oh,
when you die, like that's the outfit you're gonna wear
for eternity, but like I don't know if that's true.
Like I'm always just trying to figure these out. Do you, Um,
do you appear to others as yourself when you die
or perhaps as your younger self? And if you're younger self,
how has that chosen? What incarnation of you it is?

(02:54):
What if you were a ghost baby, even if you
died as an adult? Oh? Man, I just a case.
Someone just sent me a story about this guy. Okay,
I think the story was his grandpa had visited him
like as a full body apparition spirit wearing this suit jacket,
this tux jacket that he had gift the grandpa had
gifted this guy that wrote to me, So he had

(03:16):
the jacket like in his closet, but he saw his
grandpa wearing that jacket. So it's like, can you be
can close be a ghost even if it's not like
the clothes aren't dead and buried in the ground. I'm
real confused. There's so much. There's a lot of questions
for this guy's did Grandpa? Your search history maybe about
the secret life of Alex Mac but my search history

(03:36):
is going to be can close be a ghost after
this episode? Because that is a great question. Totally. So
we we were talking before we started recording. Are you
a believer in in the paranormal? Uh? Totally. I think
it's just fun. Like I don't know. I don't take
my life too seriously. I wear huge wigs for a living.

(03:56):
I'm just someone that likes to have a good time,
be funny. If you were like, that's ridiculous ghosts, and
I know that's swear, I draw the line, but yeah,
I I think it's I think it's fun just to
believe that anything is possible. Why not while we're here now?
And and I think I've heard a lot of people
that don't believe in ghosts that listen to my show

(04:18):
and they just enjoy listening to people that believe what
they're saying when they talk about these experiences. They truly
believe it happens. And whether you believe it or not,
like it's still it's a reason we watch horror movies.
It's like we just enjoy listening to people being spooked. Yeah, yeah, scared,
even people who say like I, I wouldn't say I

(04:38):
believe in ghosts like actively, but I am still scared
of them. Like I'm still scared out by ghost stories.
Explain the concept of a ghost to uh, an eight
year old whose family is like not at all religious. So,
you know, I told her, um that I had dug
up a dead dog in my yard, which is true.
I found the bones of a dog, oh god, that

(05:00):
somebody had buried. I mean, this house is extremely old,
so you know, and they're just bones and there's not
that many of them. But uh, you know, she was like,
what did you do with the bones? And I was like, well,
you know, I'm going to rebury it so that it's
spirit could be at peace or whatever. And she was like,
what's a spirit And I was like, it's a ghost
and she was like, well, a ghost can't do anything,
So could a ghost dog bite you? And I was
like I guess not. And she was like, then who cares?

(05:23):
The corporate reality? And you know the difference between like
a flesh body and a spirit body. These are all
very new concepts to her. She was like, how does
it haunt you if it can't touch you? And I
was like, in your mind, I know, it's like it's
one of these things where no one knows the answers.
So I mean, all you can do is not dumb kids. Yeah, exactly.
So I don't know, you can just speculate what things are.

(05:45):
But I just have so many questions all the time,
and it's just it's fun. I just think it's fun.
Are you a horror fan? Yeah? Yeah, we're having some
a good moment right now. There's like a lot of
horror movies coming out. I feel like it's starting to
bury up. I used to wonder, like why there weren't
horror movies set in the city. They were always setting

(06:05):
like the suburbs and like rural and I think that's
like true of America. And maybe that's because that's where
most of like the evil ship in American history was done,
was like on farms in the woods against Native Americans
or something like deep in the history, whereas like British
horror movies often take place in in the city, but

(06:27):
I don't I think they're all on the moors. Yeah,
maybe that I thought the ghost hung out on moors mostly,
but like, there's no, there aren't that many haunted beaches
in US, horror, are there that you know of? I
kind of think every beach is haunted. A lot of
people die in the ocean. Oh could you imagine you're
swimming and a ghost grabs your leg? Absolutely imagine. I

(06:49):
don't go in the water. Yeah, that's why I do
go in the water. Yeah. I mean we even have
stories of people having sex with ghosts, Like we've added
on my podcast, a lot of people have sex with ghosts,
it turns out. Yeah, I think that was Dan Ackroyd's
original idea for a Ghostbuster. The blow job scene seems

(07:11):
like it's like completely tacked on and stupid to us,
But like his initial idea was, like, what if I
got blown by a ghost? Like everyone's like, it's called
nutbust and then go ghos blow. Let's revamp this for children.
It was initially called ghost Smashers, and then they called

(07:33):
it Ghostbusters to make room for the nutbusting puns. Probably alright, guys,
let's talk about the bachelorette. Uh. Speaking of punching down. Uh,
so we're going to bring in Superprouce around Hosnier our
Bachelorette Specialists expert list, because this is this is what
we're talking about. I don't want to lie, I don't

(07:54):
want to say that this is this is what is
being talked about in the Daily Zayist writer's room. When
Superducer around Hosnie gets in in the morning, she and
I'm always super Sprucer DJ Daniel are talking about the
Bachelorette and what happened, and uh, it seems like there
there was some big news. You guys, this is devastating

(08:18):
for all of us obviously, Um, you know front runner,
current front runner, we are we still have a little
bit of time to go, but potentially top five r
jed Wyatt. Turns out he had a girlfriend this whole time.
Devastating So that how do we know that he had
a girl because the girlfriend felt wrong and wronged and

(08:40):
sold her story to people mag as you do when
you want to come for your reality TV boyfriend, as
she did. Yeah, so he is like making it through
the gauntlet of the Bachelorette. Yes, he's a singer songwriter
from Nashville, and um, he apparently told this girlfriend that

(09:01):
he's going on the show because it would be good
for his career. It's huge, the you know, the amount
of attention it will bring him. And I guess she
was like, all right, babe, like I believe you, which
is like, oh honey, this is so bad. This is
no never date a guy who's going to go on
a reality show specifically about falling in love and expect
them to come back and honor your relationship. It's just

(09:23):
not going to work out. Um. So it's just very
devastating because he he was a fan favorite. You know,
he was always very um, he's very charismatic. He seemed
like down to earth, like he would make fun of himself.
He was he didn't seem like he took himself too seriously.
And now, um, this is a blow. This is a
blow to bachelor nations. Maybe he wasn't taking that relationship

(09:45):
very seriously. No, clearly not. Apparently when he came back,
he ghosted her, and that's when she was like, revenge
is on an opinion. Now, I just want to bring
to light that they were allegedly dating for four months.
Four months? So was this a boot or was this
a boot tech call? Okay, I don't know, because like

(10:06):
if it's hard to say somebody's in a relationship as
a as a car artist, it's hard to say someone's
in a relationship because look, you can't ghost on a marriage,
you know what I mean, Like you can't. But there's paperwork,
you know what I mean, there's paper trail. We're gonna
know that you signed some ship and said she was
in a relationship with this present. But if I say
we're not together no more, guess what. I could just
stop talking to my boyfriend, to Marbrow and then I

(10:26):
don't have a boyfriend no more. But I have boyfriends
work my definition of I just don't see him and
speak to him anymore. I don't even have to get
an explanation we're not together. So I think that Jed
Jedidiah what else could it be. I think that he

(10:48):
was singing less a dollar bo when he went on
the Bachelor, and this girl, I mean, I guess you'll,
y'all were together the night before. You don't mean nothing. Yeah,
But I'm glad that she's getting her story to people.
Mag I hope that she doctored all these texts. This
is not even real that she has a singing career,
that jumps off right out. Yes, she's also a singer
as well. Yeah, this is juicy style. Yeah, she gotta

(11:13):
come out with some song like the Bachelor. I don't
even know if there's a song there girl. Yeah, will
you accept this? Rose? Yea. Yeah. I went on his
Spotify and he's a horrible musician, So I was like,
what don't you think was gonna happy? He thought this
show was going to give you talent. Everybody's a horrible
musician until you get in the right hand. Yeah, that's true.
He just needs some auto tune and some little nose x.

(11:35):
As we'll learn later, you can't even get a Hollywood
star if you're a reality show. So he just d
c himself from having a career in many ways by
going on the UM. But I don't Yeah, I agree
with Lacy's analysis that like, this doesn't necessarily mean he
had a girlfriend while he was okay, but there is

(11:56):
information that apparently they went to the Bahamas before he left,
and he's I love you. Oh now we're into the
I love you people Now we can still take I mean,
assuming the text messages aren't doctored. That, I mean, that

(12:17):
is weird of him to be like I'm just going
on this to promote I mean, that's if I when
I come back, it'll just make a stronger Its just
good for my brand. On her. The minute he said
he was going on the show, You're like, oh, we're
done then, surely well. He also said that he was
tired of his dad. He happened to pay his rents, okay,

(12:39):
so he had to independent Exactly, I have to go
be independent on this reality show. I'm sure your dad
is thrilled. Okay, I'm gonna have ABC pay my rants. Um. So,
but we don't know how it ends. He might win,
That's the thing I would kind of we don't know

(13:01):
is somewhere just like if he wants she is strangling
him to and he will be dead soon. We'll know
if he dies in the next few days, like one.
Because she's actually crazy, like she's known for being crazy.
She called herself Hannah Beast. So she's the most fun
bachelor and I think there's been in a while. And
she's such a significant reflection of the times changing for

(13:23):
women because to get to see her just be making
out and just ratting on ever back. Also very horny,
like a pony head like us out at the corn
of on like everybody she's on him. She'll go and
pick another guy like come on down and that. No,
I'm very happy. I'm like, yeah, you better kiss on
Autumn sexy ass man in this send him home. I

(13:46):
think it's also because she she's been like I'm insane.
I'm insane, I'm a mess. And I'm also formally Miss Alabama.
So you know I'm crazy. Um, so you know I'm
not getting a bullshit when the show finished, I'm I'm
trapping someone tonight. That's actually interesting thing. They won't let

(14:09):
her comment on the Alabama stuff. Who won't The Bachelor
won't let her come because they want everybody's money, honey.
They they don't need the Conservatives the time. They're like
someone asked her a question in ABC was like cut, nope,
don't literally through their body. Yeah. Uh alright, guys, let's
talk about Olympic events because you know the Olympics are

(14:33):
coming up. I guess, oh yeah, another year. They're always
coming up, Tokyo. We're all getting ready. Who who cared
more about paying off the Olympic committee than they did
their own infrastructure? And I think it's what Paris, Who's
twenty is Los Angeles, I believe. Yeah, so I we're

(14:56):
all going to AIRBNBA replaces. That's my career. Uh goal
is to not live here somehow to not you guys
remember SOCCI SOCCI have fond memories of that Olympics with
like the wild dogs rumming the streets and yeah, crumbling infrastructure.
That was a fun Olympics. Now, one thing about Russian

(15:17):
wild dogs. I've seen multiple viral videos where like dogs
in Moscow like know how to take the subway, and
Russian wild dogs seem much smarter than other wild dogs.
Can you come they can open doors like the fucking
velociraptor of Crassic Park offenses. But anyways, Paris just did

(15:38):
a process where they provisionally confirmed various sports for the
Olympics and we got some bangers on the list. Guys,
We've got sport climbing, surfing, skateboarding, and get ready for it,
break dance. Yeah exactly. So this seems on its surface

(16:02):
cool to me. I cannot be against breakdancing having a
more mainstream audience. At the same time, does seem like
it's going to be one of those judge based Olympic events.
I hate judge based Olympic events. Yeah, where it's just like,
well what you see here, and then you have like
the really snobby retired ones who are like that is bullshit.

(16:27):
After like somebody does something that seems miraculous to you
and just like, well that was a clear point deduction
because her toe was pointing down instead of parallel to
the ground when she landed that literally superpower, miraculous jump. Well,
let's just wide ice skates. Let's just widely speculate here, guys.

(16:48):
So do you think that in breakdancing Olympic breakdancing outfits
are going to play as much as a role as
they do in figure skates, Well, they have to, they
have to. And what would be or fancy breakdancing outfit
pants and like tracksuit track suits, like yeah, like the

(17:09):
old retro ones. Are you Are you picturing the Adidas
one down the side? Yeah, yeah, but I'm picturing that,
but like decked out like figure skating outfits Like this
is also mean that you could have theoretically Adidas or
Nike official Olympic breakdancing shoes. I mean breakdancing gear and

(17:30):
breakdancing athletic wear is a whole new market that seems
like it's the officially licensed breakdancing gold chain. I wonder
if after you, when you finish a routine, you know
how gymnasts do that like arms in the air like
thing to the I wonder if you do the like

(17:51):
arms folded, like crossed all the way thing that like
run DMC used to do on album covers and that
my parents do if they're trying to like act like
their rappers there and they're here to say the crossed
arms walking down the street just the other day, when
here's my question as well, let's circulate this is there

(18:14):
because I don't know the answer. Is there age limits
for gymnasts? And would there be an age for this?
That's that's the question that I had on this is
like is it such like is it like those Olympic
sports where your body breaks down at a certain point
you can't keep doing it? Or is it so skill
based that you know somebody can still do it into

(18:37):
their fifties just because it's all about knowing how to
spin around forty five times on top of your head.
And also what what will music like? What will it
be modern music? Will it just be up to the performer? Um?
And then also because I feel like every four or
five months, I see another video of like a nine
year old girl crushing some sort of breaks he moves.

(19:00):
So will she? Is she eligible for? I hope? So yeah?
Um yeah, I'm only picturing like in my mind. Ear uh,
it's that don't don't don't, don't don't don't. That's like

(19:21):
the song for every single performance. But that can't be true. Um. Yeah.
The article that I was reading about this to you
said they also wanted they wanted to know some other
sports that are worthy considering, and they listed disc golf,
which I'd be fine with, ultimate frisbee, and paintball. Yeah, paintball.

(19:42):
Paintball would be really interesting. And you're essentially just you're
essentially just pretending war with other countries, right right, And
I guess the whole point of the Olympics is is
not to do that, right That's just like okay, who like,
because then you would use your own military soldiers for yours,
wouldn't you? Yeah? Probably? But why is there no like

(20:05):
high production value like multi cam paintball tournaments on TV.
It seems like that should be a thing. There will
be a lot of fun to watch. There has to be.
There has to be like ESPN Classic has to have
some like Saturday at four, like the World Cup Final
is happening, and they can't compete with it. They just
put on They put on the Johnsonville Brought Cornhole Championships,

(20:30):
which is a gem to watch. When is cornhole going
to be an Olympic event? I mean, the fact that
it isn't is really just it's I don't think it's
left this country yet, though, I do wonder if it's
like bowling boring to watch because the people are so
good that the same thing just happens every single time,
Like they don't even touch the board. It's just I'm

(20:52):
gonna tell you, I deep dove guys into some cornhole championship.
When you when you're on the road doing shows a
lot of a lot of times you're just I'll just
stay here in the hotel, I guess, and watch TV
till I have to leave for the theater. And the
great thing about it is how defensive they get, so
you do get this element of like they make it

(21:13):
harder for each other based on how they throw, and
they don't all put them right in. They don't. No, no, no,
I'm sure there's some that are going to get better. Also,
when I said hasn't left this country, I could hear
people in at least Canada yelling, now you did in
Ohio did. But I'll argue on that all day. Or
if you're in Illinois, it's not even called cornhole. It's
just called bags. That's what we call, just called bags

(21:36):
in Chicago, Roche, Illinois, everywhere that I was born and raised.
It's just you guys want to play bags. You you
wrote your bags set? Yeah, yeah, I hope corn Hoole
makes it in Paris would seem like the appropriate place
for cornhole, right, Yeah, I mean that is uh, the
you know culture leader of their cities and the culture

(21:57):
leader of our you know, big ten parking lot, football
game drinking games. Yeah. Um no, any any sports that
you want to see given a go at the Olympics
anything yet, I don't know. I mean, I think you
guys covered some of the more odd ones. But like,
I'm really fascinated with curling. Like I know this is

(22:18):
already a thing, but it's basically like a giant, like
large scale game of shuffleboard on ice where someone's like
sweeping the you know ice in front of the whatever.
The curling stone or whatever, and the whole culture of
it is fascinating and it's like a very zen thing
and not much seems to happen, but I can't look away.
It's it's a it's a very interesting sport. Okay, you

(22:38):
don't want to know more about the history of curling, no,
you know you brought yourself back here because you should
check out The Losers on Netflix. There it uh. It's
a documentary series that goes over people who failed in
there like athletic attempts, and one of them is all
about curling and talks about this. It's like the most

(23:01):
prestigious tournament that they do in Canada and goes back
to the days when you could do it like they
would have their tournaments. You'd have a cigarette hanging out
of your mouth in a beer in one hand like
while playing, and interviews all these old guys and it's
you can obviously tell by the title that somebody doesn't win,
but it's extremely good and if you enjoy curling on
a cultural and historical level, I would recommend The Losers

(23:23):
on Netflix. It's I think it's episode available on DVD.
I will only watch it if I can watch I
thought your rule was you would buy it on DVD
then watch it on that. Yeah, you know, I'm not
being very consistent today, but you're right, that does sound awesome.
Is it other sports? Like, it's like a whole bunch
of different Yeah. Yeah. One if it was just called

(23:43):
the Losers and it was just about curling, like implying
they're just like, yeah, it's there's a great one about
a boxer. There's another one about this soccer football league
in the UK where if you lose so many times
in a you get like kicked out, you lose your team,
your town loses your team. And the story of these

(24:04):
just perennial losers trying to not lose their town's team. Uh,
it's really really good. I recommend that series on Netflix.
I'll definitely check it out begrudgingly. All Right, we're gonna
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.

(24:28):
And then I wanted to talk real quickly about do
you guys Have you guys been watching Euphoria? No, it's
it's like teens doing It's like Fast Time nine. Right, Yeah,
you heard there were like thirty six penises in one episode,
like in one scene, like fully you know, fully shown. Yeah,
I guess there was. I can't even picture what led

(24:48):
to that, Like, what is the scenario that requires third?
It must have been like a locker room situation. That's
the only thing I can. I can or somebody wanted
a world records. Yeah, I think it was a lineup
actually of no, that's not it was. Actually it was
a locker room scene. And we're bringing in our euphoria

(25:10):
expert super producer Anna Hosnier, who has been watching it. Hello. Anna, Yeah,
now I haven't seen the show. I'm sure, but I'm
really good at just kind of guessing, right, but you
you like it right, you're saying it's good, Um, I do.
And you know the the weenie scene is I like
to call male generals the enies. Um. It was actually

(25:32):
a very funny exploration of kind of like male like
toxic masculinity. It was. It's it's very funny because it's
just like this dude who just can't deal like he's
just like so broad out like all these dicks in
the locker room, like how inappropriate, Like he's just the worst.
He's the worst dude ever. He can't deal with anything. Um.
And it explains why he's like so deeply like, um

(25:55):
toxic monster and hey, hey guys, guess what your father?
Your father ruined you. Um, but I mean who didn't
know that? But anyway, Yeah, it's a great I mean
it's an interesting show because it shows all these young
kids and then like the reasons why they're on drugs
or like why they like to experiment. But it's also

(26:15):
like I wouldn't say it's like based in reality because
there's so there's so much like she buys her drugs
from like a like a really like thugged out like
eight year old. Like it's like really weird and it's
like over the top. But it's also I think the
concept of euphoria, as you're living on this other planet
like in your head and and it has vibes of

(26:37):
that where like things sometimes um doesn't feel real. But
I think that kind of adds to like the aspect
of the fact that you're on drugs, so like nothing's
real and and some argue like, oh, it glorifies drug use,
but then like you also kind of see these like
really shitty aspects of it, like like you see her
like the girls first of all, Zendia, Yeah, you amazing actress.

(27:01):
You've just been making that noise over and over every time.
I don't know where she's from or anything like previous
to this. I do remember some newscaster made racist comments
about her hair once, but that's about as much as
I know from her. But like seeing her come in
very fresh from my perspective, um, I think she's killing it. Yeah,
I mean, like you see like the real dark sides

(27:21):
of like kids fucking fighting with their parents, like things
where you like kind of feel it from your own childhood,
Like oh yeah, I was, like, you know, y psycho
as well. I still am. Yeah, I mean the stuff
that terrifies me most about having kids is that they
will one day do things half as stupid as I
did when I was a teenager. Yeah, they'll threaten to
kill you just out of pure madness because they're children.

(27:45):
I mean, it's not like they're really gonna I mean, hey, look,
I'm not here to judge if your child kills you.
But like you know, like in I've remember, you know,
as a kid who abused drugs, Like in my most vulnerable,
like true insecure moments, like I've said and done things
that were incredibly not okay to my parents, like I've screamed,
I've thrown ship, like I've just lost my fucking mind

(28:07):
because I just want to go get high and my
parents are just trying to be like no, you're seventeen. No,
And then it's like, I don't. I think it captures
that very well. Yeah, I mean so, The New York
Times wrote an article about how this generation of teenagers,
like our current teenagers, are actually the like they use

(28:27):
drugs less than any group of teenagers in recent history.
They smoke less, they have less sex, They're getting into
fewer car accidents, getting into fewer physical fights. Um, So
their point was kind of, why are we making this
show Euphoria that is like the most boundary pushing show
about teen sex and teen drug use when like this

(28:51):
is the least you know, sexually active and drug dependent
group of teenagers. But like one of the things that
the show talks about is how I think it says teenagers,
like your love language today as a teenager is nudes
and like it's needs. But that like that doesn't necessarily

(29:14):
mean you're sexually active just because you're like sending nudes
back and forth. I think that would fall under gifts, right, Yeah, right,
because it's quality time, yes, yeah, acts of service, yeah,
the affirming words and physical touch. Yeah, so maybe affirming
words and gifts, that's where nudes fall into. But and

(29:37):
it is like, even if they aren't abusing the drugs
that people our age did, like suicide among teens is rising,
the incidence of certain mental health problems is going up.
Vaping has taken off in a way that is alarming
public health officials. Um so it sounds like there's saying that,

(30:00):
like there are issues here that you could highlight in
a teen drama, But the idea that the issues are
how fucking drunk and crazy and drug and adult they're
getting is not where the spots are. Yeah, exactly. Like
one of the things that people have pointed to is
that because uh, people kind of grow up these days

(30:22):
with helicopter parents who don't let them like out of
the house and don't let them like go out and
make mistakes for themselves, they they're safer. But that also
fox with your ability to solve problems for yourself, and
that's a cause of anxiety and depression. Um, that's crazy
because I feel like everyone I grew up with was
so on drugs. That's weird. So was it like millennial

(30:45):
kind of slowly petered out with millennials when we all
started odeing at seven, and then like the younger generations
are like whatever, Like I can't, I don't know what
anything young is anymore. But like, I mean, I have
a I have a I have a ten year old daughter,
and she's basic like already a teenager. Like she's she's
kind of addicted to social media. She's not vaping yet,
but like she's kind of addicted to social media. All

(31:06):
her friends are. There's that whole like comparing herself to
other people culture that we all probably suffer from too,
but with kids, I think it's even more like pointed,
and you know, I think it's it's definitely a cause
of probably some of those increases in suicide rates because
there's everything is kind of broadcast out there, like what
other kids have that you don't have, how cool other
people are, and the way you compare yourself to it.

(31:26):
I think that's absolutely a bigger part of it today
with younger kids than drugs. For sure. Yeah, I do
find myself sometimes I'll be like I'm gonna sit down
and smoke some weed, but then I start literally scrolling
through Instagram and then I forget to smoke the weed.
I was gonna make this joke, but I wonder how
much of it's true. Is is in a freakonomics way
where you're like, oh, this is actually tied to that.

(31:47):
I wonder how much screen time has to do with
the lifestyles of teenagers now, like being less drug dependent
or yeah, or just because you get high off likes
really mean those endorphins are real. If you if you
could break a hundred likes on a photo, I probably
won't smoke weed for like three days. You don't want

(32:09):
something kind of weird. I don't know how much this
ties into this, but I I recently put out a
post on Twitter about my opinion of these UM child detainees,
and I wished to myself that there was a way
to turn off like notifications because I could feel myself
being like, oh, I'm glad that so many people that
I like, are no respect are liking this this opinion

(32:32):
that I have. But that felt shitty to me because
I didn't want to be getting positive released endorphins off
of something that I was just trying to say, Hey,
enough of this ship. Do you know what I mean,
but it's still it happens to you regardless, that you
can say something for altruistic reasons and end up getting
a selfish benefit from it feels shitty. Yeah. Uh. And

(32:55):
another thing they point to in this New York Times
article is that the fact that kids from a very
young age have access to like all the pornography that's
ever been made on the internet, uh, probably has something
to do with the fact that they are less likely
to be immediately sexually active in their teenage years. We

(33:17):
have to get this story. And guys Sharman has put
out a what they're calling a forever roll of toilet paper. Uh.
It's impractically huge. It looks like one of those giant
wheels of cheese. Um, but they came. They claim it
can last you a month of just near constant shitting. Uh.

(33:38):
And it's twelve inches, the equivalent of twenty four toilet
paper rolls. And it's being hailed as the toilet paper
roll for millennials because it cuts down on because we
can't afford space, we all we all live in a
box and so uh, you know right, yeah, yeah, totally.

(34:02):
But it's basically the idea that what are the two
things millennials hate. They don't have any space to live
in and they hate leaving the house. This takes care
of that. You have toilet paper roll that you can
eat off of it, like your kitchen table. I used
toilet paper for every Like what millennials do is like

(34:23):
we like we kill industries and we use toilet paper
for literally every purpose. So like place mats, napkins, paper,
towel rings, engagement rings, um casts, if we break from
leg because we don't have health and just wrap your
arm and dip it in the toilet hardens up to

(34:43):
dress up as mommy's or to actually use in funerary
rituals because again we don't have any money here, you um.
But yeah, this is so what makes so I'm still
not clear on the concept of what makes this toilet
paper so special that millennials lot of it. It's twenty
four rolls, it's big. It's big, but they're compact or no,

(35:05):
it's just the biggest toilet paper roll ever. But how's
that supposed to help me with space? Because I think
about how much space rolls of toilet paper takes up.
It's like a giant box visualizing it right, Whereas twenty.
It was just a giant wheel. Yeah, it's just one wheel,
like a cheese wheel of a cheese wheel. Toilet paper

(35:28):
exactly the size of a wheel of parmson cheese. Yeah,
how's that. That's not going to fit in my little
toilet dispenser, toilet roll dispenser. So that's that is the
other genius thing is that they're providing the toilet roll dispensers.
That's how they It's like the's like the computer, like,
here's our new Apple computer, and here's the toilet rolls.

(35:50):
Wait could you It's actually on a subscription service like
six years in your printing toilet roll cloud that you
have to subscribe to. They that would be really funny,
like an automated toilet paper dispenser. It has the toilet
paper in there, but if your subscription runs out, it's

(36:11):
just like and then it knows that your moment of
need and it's like, well suddenly the toilet paper is
now twenty dollars apply. Yeah, that's how they get you
get coming and going the bathroom. Get it. Yeah, Jack's
never gonna let me on this podcast again. I think
I literally said what the hell is wrong with you?

(36:31):
During I've never seen him that any either. We do
have to talk about the ad that is for Boyhood. Yes,
So I don't know how to talk about this because
it's like a spoiler. I guess if you haven't seen
the ad for Boyhood that turns out not to be

(36:53):
the ad for Boyhood, go watch it. Now, pause this
and go watch it. What is it like two minutes?
It's like a two minute So it follows the life
of a boy as he is born, grows up, he's
outside for the first time, gets in his first fight. Yeah,
it comes, becomes an travels to Asia and is curative

(37:15):
his insaleness, falls in love. Uh, and then by this
point your weeping just weeping, Yeah, grows his hair back.
Oh yeah when his girlfriend shaves his head, and then
he gets a beard when he goes to Asia because
because gets it. Yeah, and then it's so crazy. The
whole time I was trying to guess what it wasn't
like Trojans Hala burd and like Trojans would have been

(37:40):
funny because it would have been like this person should
not exist. It seems like there was so much you saw,
like it's I was like, this has to do something
about like there's a lot of sex. There's a lot
of sex, there's there's you see a mother giving birth,
a home birth. I'm like this, surely this all must
be That was the weird thing is that they have
the mother giving birth in a tiny bathtub like a

(38:03):
water birth. Like a water birth is like supposed to
be in a body of water, but dude, in like
a kiddie pool at right, But whoever made this commercial
just like had heard of and just like had a
birth in like a tiny little bathtub. Anyways, that is
not the weirdest part of the ad. The weirdest part
comes at the end when it shows this young man

(38:24):
whose life we have seen flash before our eyes, the
ups and downs, the trials and tribulations. So the first
thing we hear other than a swelling string music is
a woman's voice comes in and says, every day life
asks you the same question, what are you going to
try today? And it shows him as a grown man,

(38:45):
walk into a subway, walk up to a subway counter
and look at the literal universe of options in front
of him through the sneeze guard. So every day the
same question, what do you want from subway? Here's what
I take. I wanted to know what his order was

(39:06):
after all that. Yeah, and it's like, are still you're
a meat ball marrion er guy that's coming in the
next installment there, And I was gonna be like to
two more acts where he gets married and then gets
divorced and shaves his head again, and then you know,
he discussed to be as kids and then he has
to decide what he wants it Subway again, and then
he reconnects. And then the third and still he reconnects
with his kids and they go to Subway together. The

(39:27):
relationship with a girl, it's not like they're dating. He
kisses a girl and then he sees her talking to
a guy and like touch hands and then he goes
and shaves his head. It's just such an unnecessarily aggressive move.
He I mean, he appears to be an only child.
It's not you know, it's not There's not a lot
as explained. But I thought it was going to be

(39:49):
for a jeans, you know, like because all the commercials
that you don't know used to just be for genes.
This was the cast off of Levi's ad. Yeah, yeah,
they just they just added in the last shot of
the because he's not even you don't even see him
in a subway. We see him with kind of like
the background is pretty blank, and then it cuts to
they're even in the same shot. Really could have been

(40:09):
for anything. My theory is that they, like someone took
this demented student film and just shopped it around there,
like who will pay me to just put an image
of an employee and their sneeze guard At the end
of the time, I mean, I'm sure whatever. I mean,
I'm sure they wanted this to happen and it's working
and we're playing right into their hands. But I was

(40:30):
I was like, holy shit, they're not that. You know.
What this proves is that ads really are art and
people that work in advertising are actually artists, but better
because they make money. Someone someone I worked with yesterday
like showed us a really long Apple commercial and was like, see,
like commercials can be filmmaking. And then today we showed

(40:50):
him this and he's like, well, I guess maybe I
was wrong. That's amazing. All right, We're gonna take a
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. Finally,
what is a myth with something people think is true,

(41:12):
you know, to be false? That men can't compliment women anymore.
I sort of keep hearing this now in the light
of kind of meat too that it's like, you can't
even compliment a women anymore, And I say you can,
you just may not get the response you want, like
you've always been able to the caveat to that. Also,
if he's shouted from the top of a building or
out of a moving car, if like the Doppler effect

(41:33):
applies to it, right, then it's yeah, yeah, that's when
it tips into like sort of street harassment. Right. So
there's but you can still pay compliments. But we're hearing
a lot now like you just can't even talk to women,
and we're like, yeah, you can, just you're going to
be cooled out if you're a dick. Yeah. So I'm

(41:54):
sort of tired of hearing from guys no you can't
even I just want to put a p s A
out there to those guys, which is that if you're
saying that, you're a nasty, creepy motherfucker and and here's why,
Because if you feel like you can't talk to women anymore,
that means the way you were talking to women before
was trash. Okay, that means what you were doing was wrong,
and now you're like, Mac, you can't even grab a

(42:15):
woman booty no more, sir, absolutely not. You have a problem.
I've never met a normal man who has come up
to me and been like, oh, you look nice today.
Oh you know what, I shouldn't say that anymore because
I don't want you to assume me like people know
the appropriate. People who have a gauge of what's appropriate
and what's not appropriate have never lost that. It's just
the people who were running a month because no one was,

(42:36):
you know, reprimanding them that now feel stifled. Yeah, you're
you're you're hiding my right to be a douche, right, yeah,
saying that, no, your gross, No, we know your gross.
It's the same thing. It's revealing for the same reason
as people who are like, you can't be funny anymore.
It's like, yeah, so your brand of funny was just
saying racist and sexist stuff. The punchline was racist. Yeah,

(43:00):
you liked punching down, And we're no longer think that's
as hilarious as we used to. All Right, let's talk
about how we do fame on this side of the Atlantic.
The Walk of fame. Uh, there's renewed interests him whether
Donald Trump should have a star on the Walk of

(43:21):
Fame in Hollywood. So the Hollywood City Council had a
vote and said, no, he should not, we should get
rid of it, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has
fully just ignored that vote, which I guess is like
most city council votes of any type, they just kind
of get ignored. So one question that people had is like,

(43:43):
why he has one to begin with, since he is
only known for being a reality star and also a
rich guy in Home Alone too, uh, which, by the way,
an episode of Sex in the City. Yeah, which freaked
me out when I saw him one there, I was like,
he was on this Sam had a meeting with him. Yeah,

(44:05):
Like they fled across the bar. Yeah, claim Donald, I
want some of that Trump. Um. So it turns out
you basically buy yourself a star on the Hollywood Walkup Fame.
It costs thirty thou dollars to get yourself nominated, and
then they'll pretty much vote you in if you pay

(44:25):
them enough money. Absolute Vodka has a star, Loreal has
a star on the Hollywood Walk Up name. Uh. But
like one of the rules that they hold kind of
steadfast too, is that you can't get a Hollywood star
as a reality star. And like so people have been

(44:46):
like why would Trump have it, and they claim it's
because of his work as a producer for the Miss
America pageant, that that's why he has a Hollywood star.
I think that they're not going to take a star
away because it's just like the Internet, like if you're
a negative troll, you're still giving people more visibility and

(45:07):
more views and more likes by being negative. So Donald
Trump start getting constantly defaced and people constantly visiting it.
That is driving traffic to the hot to the Walk
of Fame. That's the whole point of the Walk of Fame.
Oh yeah, it was that an explosion for Thank you Dan.

(45:28):
But yeah, so they're like levin or hated, like people
are still coming to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so
they're never going to get rid of it. Yeah, and
it has to be like policed. Now they've had people
like you know around it because it gets defaced so often.
Now somebody put up a golden toilet on it, someone
put it behind prison bars, someone built a little wall
around it, um, and somebody smashed it to smitherings with

(45:49):
a pickaxe. So yeah. The the ultimate point is that
it is basically a cheap way to buy a publicity stunt,
getting a Hollywood Walk of Face store, And so we
need is that fifteen million loan from our parents? Yeah,
that's right. I plan on buying it. I will have
a star at some point in my life. The thing

(46:13):
that I like, Thank you so much who gave this
to me. I had nothing to do with it. I
found most offensive about this. One Chamber representative said that
somebody asked, I guess Kanye was saying that Kim Kardashian
should get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fames
since she is like one of the most famous people

(46:33):
in the world right now, And the person from the
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said, she needs to get a
real acting job. Then come to us. She has had
a real acting job. She was in that Tyler Perry movie.
She was in that Rage A movie. I got credit,

(46:54):
and I mean she her performance was very committed and
all of them and all of that. So she can't
have it because she's a reality star. Yes, it's Paris
Hillton got one then because she was in the House
of Wax. Was the House of Wax? Yeah, she was
in that little horror film. You're right. Um, I don't know,
but I think that they are going to have to

(47:14):
change that because Cardi B started out as a reality
TV star. She was on Love and Hip Hop and
now she's a Grammy Award winning artist. Like what do
you mean, like people do reality TV show like it's nothing.
Now she's got the Grammys, I guess, and the music.
Because of that, you can shall be a recording artist.
So Kim can't get it for being a lawyer. Um,
so that can't be your only qualification as being a

(47:37):
reality star. I think you have to have something in
the as But the whole thing is just complete bullshit,
is I guess the point? It's just like that guy's
claim is that because he thinks Kim Kardashian isn't culturally
of value, but then Donald Trump is. Yeah, it is
of value because of what people need to stop hating
on Kim k And I hate that I'm saying this. Um,

(47:59):
I say it's a double edged story. On one hand, yeah,
stealing from everyone making money off of it, cultural appropriation,
we talked about it. But on the other hand, like
y'all are just mad because she's a beautiful woman who
made money essentially started making money from sex and then
made money in a lot of different ways, and nobody
wants to see it like a quote unquote hole win
hoses winning and I'm proud of her, So they need

(48:19):
to give her her start because she's so culturally relevant,
come on the world famous, Like you can't deny it. Um, yeah,
well I know that she's doing this. Um, she wants
to be like her dad. You got O j Off
not in a way that was me, but but but
but it was kind of like, oh, so she's been
championing trying to get people out of like who've been

(48:40):
wrongfully impression jail, so that that's all pretty good. But
then then it kind of lands with and it's all
going to be a TV series and you're like, does
everything have to be televised? Because you can do this
and you can do some good and you can use
your platform in your position, but why do we need
to see a TV series about it? Then it just
becomes up fodder. And I think at the end of

(49:01):
the day, the black women are getting out of jail,
so I don't care if they're on TV, and hell,
it might help them because X cons like you don't
get jobs when you come out of jail, and we
all know that. So maybe the now the black woman
can also be selling some makeup as some lipsticks. You
can also Hey, yeah, unlike Kylie Jenneral, I just admit
that you've had surgery. That's the thing. You can't be

(49:22):
mad at Kim for looking that way. She paid a
little money for it. And actually what it means is
that anyone can if you can just get some money
for surgery, you can all look amazing. Yeah everyone could
You know, it's just a choice, isn't it right? If
you want to All right, let's let's stay on this
same tip, because and you wanted to talk about the

(49:44):
article you wrote four buzz sets called the thirty four
kinds of tattoos that look insanely hot on guys, let's
talk about comparing yourself immeasurable ideals. Uh, this is this
is gonna be like the d Rooney part at the
end of sixty minutes, we just let Anna go off. Always.

(50:05):
I found this article because I clicked on like the
twenty tattoos. Tattoo artists are sick of doing and I
had never heard of any of them, like I was like, what, Like,
why are they so over these? What would those be?
They were like cats with crowns. Who I thought you
were to say, like simple state outlines that to like skylines? Yeah,

(50:26):
what do you basic? Just kidding you, I am basic.
If you became a tattoo artist, like you kind of
just have to realize people are going to be like
it says faith, you know, like it's weird language, Like
what did you think was going to happen? We open
a burger shop? Guess what, You're gonna make a lot
of burgers. That's a weird thing to be, Like, I

(50:47):
am so sick of these skylines. It's like, get over it.
You're a tattoo artist. Try and make it better for
yourself anyway, So then you know through that. Because BuzzFeed
is filled with lists list my language. I found thirty
four kinds of tattoos that look insanely hot on guys,
which unnecessary, the most unnecessary thing because none of it matters.

(51:10):
It's like, nothing reminds you more that we're all going
to die in like thirty years. A list of hot
guys with tattoos. Your last night horrible except for the
fact that he had the hottest tattoo. I literally just
told him to show me his forearm and then I
just masturbated and I left. He's portrait of his grandmother. Yeah,

(51:35):
tattoo I have ever seen? Well anyway, So you know
some of the options were like triangle tattoo, A triangle
that's just a triangle, like the try force from Zelda Sure, triangle, triangles,
pants creamed Okay, I literally thought you were reading the

(51:56):
next tattoo and then straight line because what else tells
you you're literal sexual orientation For the woman to understand
that you're down a fuck of vagina than a straight
line panties implode? Okay, um song lyric? What what I

(52:18):
am so horny? Alright, one of the hottest. These are
hottest ones. I mean, if you do have a line
from Gordon Lightfoot's rec of the Edmund Fitzgerald on your forearm,
I like his earlier stuff. No, you've got very quiet.
Do you have all of these tattoos? Has your tattoos?
Actually I've been like toying with getting one, but maybe

(52:39):
I'll look at this list and make it happen. Yeah,
you know, like you can get yourself a nautical inspired
one like have you been on a boat. I have,
I have set foot on a boat. Yes. Wait, is
that in one of the list too nautical? Like an
anchor because you're so anchored? Why not just the nautica
logoxic masculine? Wait, an inspirational quote is one of the tattooed?

(53:01):
Oh my god, it's just everywhere. Location matter, Like if
it's a nautical theme, is it has to be in
particular place. It would be like a lower back anchor
or like does that make a difference, maternal nothing matters.
And I think that's what we've learned here today. One
of them was like a tattoo that peeks out. That

(53:22):
was like one of them was just like like from
the sleeve, Yeah, like anywhere. That's just like, oh, it's
peeking out from an otherwise conservative outfit. So like some
of them are a nautical tattoo, and the other is
one that peeks out. Yeah. I just imagine like Ben
Shapiro with like a like a tattoo peeking out of
his neck, the neck tattoo. But I am horny. I

(53:45):
think that's what they mean, like YadA yr Molina's neck tattoo. Yeah,
it's really Yeah, and then you know other ones are
like coordinates or where like longitude, lattitude? Like where do
you have to be? Is this like memento? Can you
not remember where your family lives? Like? What's your deal?
You're so hot? Is your entire personality based off this

(54:06):
goddamn fucking tattoo? Yes? Wow, well thank you for writing
that article. Yeah it, Um, none of these tattoos matter
you guys. Nothing makes you hot except for you know,
like being nice to your mom and um, that's about it. Like,
just be nice to your mom and other women around you.
That's the hottest thing you can really bring to the table.

(54:28):
Your tattoo doesn't matter. Your body is rotting away within
climate controls, Like, don't even think about it. Just like,
be nice to women, even if we're on drugs, We
have to be nice to our mom. What if I
got the tattoo be nice to women? Ship passing being nice?
Believe women would be Believe that might actually be kind

(54:49):
of attractive. I think I'm dying from how horny are you?

just believe women across your chest? All right, that's gonna
