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

(00:22):
the Weekly Zeitgeist. Chris, what is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? Well? I feel
like I've already used all the good, really good ones,
because mostly I do search for just metal detecting videos
and magnet fishing videos and mud larking videos. But I
do also like to um look up anything about Bigfoot,

(00:43):
and once again like I don't really care if it's
a percent true, I like to cost you know, I
don't care if it's a hundred percent. I think. Okay,
now these guys, you guys have actually heard me talked

(01:04):
about this in private, because this is something I talked
about a lot. Which is this thing that I've found
out that like just doing my usual just seeing if
there's anything new on the bigfoot news front, like on YouTube,
which is best probably for bigfoot news, I find. Um,
it turns out that when Mount St. Helen's erupted in
night like already it's I've lost your haul. Do you

(01:28):
remember Mount St. Helens when it blew up in the
It's like the biggest volcanic eruption in the contiguous United States,
so apparently. So I'm like watching this thing like Mount St.
Helen's big Foot Bodies was like the thing on YouTube,
and I was like, what what that sounds good? So
I I don't care. Maybe there was only one. It's

(01:54):
one of those documentaries made by some nuts, you know,
like just like but but once again, like I'm made
by a nut. Surprise, it's a Bigfoot. But anyway, I
think Bigfoot's real, but it's a separate thing. Wait. Wait,
this guy made a little documentary and says, okay, when
Mole St. Helen's erupted, the Army Corps of Engineers did
what they always do, which they went up and they

(02:14):
collected all the animal bodies because they didn't want disease
to spread. So they went up there with a helicopter
and I guess like a bag or whatever, and they
and they filled it up with all the animals that
were dead on Mount. Yeah. I was already like when
I heard that, I was like kind of like, I
was already like, wow, that's kind of I didn't know
they did that, because like the first thing I thought was,
I didn't know that they did that after every disaster

(02:35):
they collect all the dead animals. I had no idea
that happened. So I was that did kind of make
me think, huh, it's weird and know they do that.
They do that, Okay, So anyway, then this is when
it got Also I was still I got a little
more skeptical when they said they put all the animals
in separate stacks at the bottom of the mountain. So
like there was a stack of like elk, and like
I mean, I just said, they identified by family members.

(02:59):
So it's a stack of elk, I guess, and a
stack of like deer, and then a stack of like
raccoons or whatever, and then they have one stack under
a tarp. Relate is true. This is not a joke.
This so after the Armory Corps of Engineers gets all
the animals like they do and put them on an arc.
Just kidding, but that's what it sounds like they're doing

(03:20):
underneath the tarp. One of the one of the Somebody's
uncle who was in the Army Corps of Engineers talked
to this documentary filmmaker and told him that he went
and looked under the tarp and that was a pile
of bigfoots. And I'm going to assume that was the
shortest pile, right, you know what I mean, there probably
wasn't that. I mean, I'm sure when they're dead, they're
just laying down, and there aren't that many, That's what

(03:42):
I'm thinking. Apparently there was a tremendous bigfoot population on
Mountain North and so they were very negatively impact by
this explosion. Well, I mean, so this is this gets further,
so then that somebody else's uncle, always somebody's uncle also
looked under the tarp. No, he was working. Not only

(04:04):
under the tarp was there a bunch of big foots.
But then there was a medical tent where big foots
were being or big feet, and no one knows. That's
another that's another mystery. And I don't care if only
a big foot knows, and you can never get him
to say, so, do you guys go by big foots
or feet? Yeah, but you need medical care. This this

(04:28):
guy who worked for the Army Corps of Engineers, his
uncle or whatever, said that he stood by this medical
tent and he thought that just these tall guys in
big overcoats were going into the medical tent and and
and getting bandaged up. But then he noticed one of
them had like a huge amount of hair on his
wrist or something, and he was like, oh my god,
these are big foots they're treating that didn't die in

(04:49):
the thing. Then this other guy another person's uncle, uh
or stepdad or somebody who worked for the or whatever
it was. Check these are all checked out. Whatever uncle
all official titles step mentioning that there's somebody's uncle. I

(05:09):
don't know, just just to prove that it's not some
random guy. So somebody's uncle to do a family it's
a legit person. This guy knows people, he's got you know,
he's I mean, this guy's yeah. So so anyway, he
said that there This is where I really I doubt
this is true. But I don't know that there was

(05:30):
an army corps of engineers. Guy was talking big foot
to a big foot, and that the ideas that government
knows about big Foot's they talked to him. I don't
know what they talk to them about, because like good
tips on child rearing. But if they can talk to him,
why didn't the tell him ahead of time to clear
out of the mountain if there's gonna I mean, everybody

(05:52):
knew that mount was going to blow up that because
you know, I don't know. I think of what color
the big feet are. If they were white, they maybe
would have got the men because they're brown. So you
think yetti are treated better. Yes, yeties are treated Yes,
you all know about yetis and all. YETI lives matter.
Looks they got for that ship. But big feet, I
mean misrepresented, you know what I mean. And but whenever

(06:14):
I mentioned this story to people, they always are like,
first of all, what are you talking about? The Army
Corps of Engineers collects all the animals after disasters, and
that's when it's everybody else for for them, it falls apart.
I'm easy to just I'm easy. I'll skip right over.
And then the next thing is I'm like, yeah, maybe
they don't do that, but maybe they do. I don't know.
I don't work for I don't have an uncle in
the Army Corps of Engineers. Like, sure, sir, again, this

(06:36):
is a Wendy's so what is your order? Uh? Do
they does the Army corp of Engineer go out into
the woods when like on an ordinary day and collect
any animals just in case. I mean, I'm only agreeing
with this because I saw a chernobyl and I know
that the dudes are shooting animals, and I'm like that
because they wander from sure, but again, you know, maybe

(06:58):
they were worried about zombie animals. Anyway, it's just go ahead.
I'm just gonna say, like a tie in for this
is that that just got me going into deeper stuff
that I didn't know about. Like in group of gold prospectors, uh, um,
we're attacked by big Foot's with boulders and uh the

(07:19):
canyon that they that happened in is called Ape Canyon
now for real, for real, that's on the map. So yeah, exactly,
So I don't care if it so anyway, I think
it's fun. I don't know if it's true. But you know,
I've heard that story before about the tarp uh and

(07:40):
I don't know, it feels like to me, it feels
like to me, they would do probably do something more elaborate.
I do feel like that's probably why why not just
drag them elsewhere? Like they put the tarps? How securely
they put them on there? Why were they letting. Why
were they letting people peak? Dude, if you if you
need medical, go to the tent. But put hadn't trying

(08:00):
to play it low key? What did they think? Apparently
there must have been a basketball team when overcoats up
on the mountain. Oh wait a minute, they're extremely harry.
Oh my god, like that. They it's like, it's not
a basketball team. That's big foots and overcoats or big
feet total cartoon logic. Yeah, over coats. But it wasn't

(08:23):
till the wrist hair is sir, do you have the time?
And then he pulls back. Great, you don't even know.
You don't even have a watch. Wait a minute, I
have to get back to my kids. You know, what
is a myth? What's something people think is true you

(08:43):
know to be false? Well I don't. I don't know
so much of this is a myth. But there's this
sense when you nine of ten people, if you ask
them what AI is, it's the same people where you
ask what gluten is, they're like bread. AI is the
same way where I think most people think of robots
or like artificially intelligent robots or people who are going
to take your job, or robots are gonna take your jobs,

(09:04):
whereas AI is really like what allows you to order
a Starbucks coffee when you're in your car you're still
on the train, Like, I mean, that's not the best example,
but like AI is basically part of and parcel everything
that we now do on our parcel something that yact

(09:26):
you're building. I mean, it is my dream to do
a short form web series where I visit all of
the post offices of America. Would that be possible? Um? No,
not when when they when? When? Development people are like,
what's the audience? That would be a hard question, old

(09:49):
people who will be dead by the end of this media.
That's right, But AI is sort of finding ways to
mimic like neuron connections, right. Yeah. Well it's also I
mean you're talking about elections. I mean it's it's really
an amazing way to make predictions about things using data.
So the human mind can only compute so much um

(10:14):
and take into account so much data, whereas algorithms can
look at vast amounts of data, whether it be pictures, um,
well code, I guess uh, and and then make predictions
based on those things. Right. We're better at catching like
tumors and we're better at catching all things just from

(10:34):
like loading scans into or into brain. I think, yeah,
that's right, that's right. Yeah, But like you know, they
the raptors used AI to help better there's a drastic
market open door. The drake raptors. Raptors, they change the

(10:58):
I'm so sorry, Toronto, Uh how did they use A?
So basically you can use AI to make better again,
use for predictions, sake, to look at your shot history
and sort of better understand maybe where you should be
placing yourself on the court right, where you should be

(11:21):
taking more shop. That's right. Yeah, So there's machine learning.
I mean, this is machine learning. Machine learning is basically
now being harnessed in like every possible field you can imagine.
And that's artificial intelligence. It's using computers to to make decisions. Now,
sleepwalkers would imply that title would imply that we're unaware

(11:44):
of something. I would say, yeah, and what are we
unaware of? Well, I think people don't think about their
data enough generally. I think maybe in the past two
years maybe, I think also post election tampering people started
and the Cambridge An scandal, people started thinking more about

(12:06):
oh my god, like Facebook has a lot of information
about me, and it's being given to other companies that
I don't want to have my information. So on the
most basic level, not thinking about that enough is sleepwalking.
You know the idea now that certain states I mean
now there's two only, but certain states are you know,

(12:27):
making uh the government use official recognition technology illegal? Is
a good? Is a step in the right direction, I
personally think, but I don't think people have an appreciation
for Okay, if like, is the d m V using
my face two make predictions about other things legislatively. So

(12:51):
Oz took the phase. My co host took the phrase
from a British history book, but I or exact um.
But but I think you know. For him also, when
he was thinking of the show, which he asked me
to do a little later on, but when he was
thinking of this show, you know, he he started to

(13:12):
think about, well, what are all the things that I
don't know that aren't going to be happening in the
future but actually are happening right now, And how can
I talk to the people who have built these tools,
who a lot of them are like sounding the alarm.
You know, people who worked at Facebook who were like, yeah,
well they trained people created the light button were like
trained on the same tools that they used to build casinos, right, yeah, exactly.

(13:35):
I mean it's you're you're losing your free will because
you know, they are all these ways that companies are
manipulating your mind to make the decisions they want you
to make. And so you were like reframing it as
from a thing about like, well, I don't care what
they know about me because I have nothing to hide,

(13:58):
nothing to hide, and I'm a boy scout to know,
but you are not in control of your own life
because they know so much about you, and then they're
you know, manipulating your life in the background, and some
people don't. I mean, I think a lot of people don't,
like you know, I spoke to these parents on the
podcast who were like, well, if Amazon knows when I

(14:20):
need diapers, that makes my life a lot easier. But
it's also are you okay with the fact that Amazon
also sells like consumer facial recognition technology to government contracts. Yeah, Like,
my face is very hot, so people to see it,

(14:42):
don't say hot because they're they're also tracing biometrics, honey,
your actual body temperature? What? Well, I mean, I am
a vampire and advantage my body is actually very cool. Well,
if a hot face actually implies that you are nervous
about something and might be carrying a bomb, so yeah,

(15:03):
that's what they You never heard the term hot faces? Yeah, okay,
what I mean, it's not that cool. Good to know,
but yes, all that by like anything that can be
scanned and then compared to other things that have been scanned,

(15:24):
is using AI to detect or like white list or
blacklist someone. So now they're doing it with a laser
called jetson where they're actually using your heartbeat as a
biometric monitor, so like, oh, that's Jack's heart. Like if
they can't see your face because you're compromised, they're starting

(15:47):
to be able to read people in other ways. There.
When I say there, it's like DARPA is developing these things. God,
so if you have like an increased heartbeat, that will
be telling of oh that person. Well, just how your
heartbeats is a very particular signature that only you have. Yeah,
I didn't realize. Apparently it's exactly like your heartbeat is

(16:09):
like a fingerprint. Oh really I didn't yet, Yeah, exactly.
Mine is like a hip hop Yeah, it's like it's
like in an acapella group. Yea, So those are all
ai E things. Like when you go on jet Blue

(16:32):
and you're using your face to board a plane, you
should just ask people who work at jet Blue where's
that data going? Is it a hard delete? Are you
storing that data and then selling it to the US government?
Are you like? And I think the answer a lot
of times know. And there are a lot of people
who are working in this sort of ethical surveillance, if
such a thing as possible, who are really like creating

(16:54):
tools to also sound the alarm. Same with people who
are developing technology to detect deep fake. They have to
create deep fakes in order to detect them. So you know,
it's the kind of thing to just keep your eyes
open too, don't walk into it. I'm listening to sleep.
But if your eyes are open, then they're going to

(17:16):
use retinal skirters. They now, of course a kickstarter respectacles.
I think they're called something like that. I want to say,
I'm be saying it's something spect it's something ecticals and
it turns your eye into that like feeds it back
right into the camera. Well fund I was thinking well

(17:37):
funded kickstarters and then you're like malaria, Like, what in
the funk are you creating be from malaria? Crazy? Whatever. Yeah,
we also have a search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Also, don't
keep your eyes open and just keep your ears open

(17:59):
to podcast. They'll tell you. Yeah, that's right. Audio is
very safe. Walk around with your eyes closed and podcasts
in your ears and you will be safe. Um, no
danger there. So basically be a blind hipster for the
rest of your life. All right, we're gonna take a
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back real quick.

(18:28):
I wonder I want to check in with the crowdfunded
wall because so we talked before about how um you know,
there there were rumors that the dude who got all
the money, Cole Page, was spending it, misspending it. But
then in May the wall was built by a privately

(18:52):
owned brick company in New Mexico. Uh, and not long
after the city served them a season desist because they
didn't actually get the proper permissions to build the wall.
Oh my god. So he gave the money to a
brick contractor somebody who like build stuff out of brick,

(19:14):
and they tried to do it over Memorial Day weekend
because he was like, then the city won't be paying
attention and we'll be able to like do this real
quick like And the city learned about it on maye
and visited the site where they were told to leave
wait by the people building the wall. I'll get the
funk out of here, city inspector. Uh. So the landowner,

(19:37):
the CEO of the brick company, George could I. He
went to city hall the next day to like, you know,
half as trying to get all these permits after the
wall was already being built, submitted the applications, but they
were incomplete, so no permit. Uh and colth Edge went
on Twitter and straight up bragged that the government wouldn't

(19:58):
notice them building the wall because it was a long weekend.
I'm sorry, this isn't like graffiti on your junior high
said at we build the wall planned for a battle.
That's why we finished the wall in three days when
the corrupt city was partying over the holiday. The only
thing left is to pave the road for border patrol. Boom.
Do they ever talked about how long the stretch this

(20:20):
uh wall was? So we'll get to that. But so
the break executive is facing up to ninety days in
jail for building a wall with no permit. Uh, and
building part of the wall has led people entering the
US and other parts of town were simply walking around

(20:42):
the wall because it's not very it's not very long. Uh.
It was purely symbolic. And some of the ways people
have chosen to enter now are you know, more dangerous
for them, which I'm sure he doesn't care about, or
you know, the rich people of this town who probably
were on board with some of these decisions, didn't care about.

(21:03):
But they're also causing people to cross in uh, residential neighborhoods,
So people are having to cross into uh, you know
where people live instead of this industrial part of town
where they built the wall. And they built some of
their wall on federal land and in doing so cut

(21:25):
off access to waterways and a public monument. Uh. So
the International Boundary and Water Commission forced the wall people,
the wall builders to prop open a gate in the
wall during business hours so they can do their jobs.
So on top of everything else, there's literally an open
door in their wall. Oh god, it's a man like

(21:48):
part of me. Uh. Fuck. How much money was this?
It was twenty million, twenty millions, but their goal was
one billion. They got to twenty million, which is a lot.
Bunch people took their money back when they were like, oh,
there aren't that many people like us. Okay, took their
money back, and he used the remainder to build a

(22:08):
small brick wall that UH has done nothing but embarrass him,
get his business partner into legal problems, and we build
the wall, which incorporated as a nonprofit in Florida, is
currently being investigated by the state Suite UH, and he's
currently trying to get more funding. He did a telethon

(22:30):
to his money to do the same thing in other cities.
UH recently build a Fall and Steve Bannon was there.
That's where Steve Bannon's at. That's that's the circles he's
traveling in. He's got to work, you know, yeah right,
uh wow, he's just at these fundraisers just like, hey,
remember me, the guy who thought this up? Then the

(22:55):
president literally exactly Uh. Even a year ago, people were like,
oh bannons over in Europe, he's like creating the populist
wave over there, and now yeah, shit is you know,
but there's still people who are definitely receptive for that message. Though,

(23:16):
as you'll see it's because there's a lot of money. Yeah,
I can't imagine. Oh man, some of these people who
just who don't know any better and really think like
they're hard earned money is going to something like that.
That's what's crazy about it is just like seventy it's
some statistic like seventy percent of Americans can't cover a
thousand dollar emergency. And when you think about that, I

(23:38):
imagine that the majority of these people that contributed to
this twenty million dollars are in that pool, possibly or
boomers who are just are so scared that you're like
facing real financial peril and you're going to contribute to
some bullshit that isn't even sanctioned. Yeah right, it's this
is it's anarchy outside. But I needed my racist snake oil. Right,

(24:00):
it cures, it cures immigrants, an our key out there.
It's yeah, regulations, it's not a cool thing to be
the guy who's pro regulations, but they're helpful. I like
how they even still like with his tweets like, yeah, man,
we're getting doing it for the government finds out it's
like the best solution. If we were really serious about
your problem, you want the government on board. I love this.

(24:23):
I love regulations. Like I'm from Haiti, I was born
in Haiti, and there's no rules, there's no laws. You know,
my husband's from India. People bribe the police on a
day to day basis, Like the police take bribes from people,
like small vendors on the streets. Street vendors have to
pay the police, Like like that's just an everyday occurrence
in India. I love laws, I love rules and order,

(24:46):
and I'm glad that we have them here. Yeah, sometimes
they work. Takes a permit to build your business monument
so that you don't block water weights, even fails as
a fucking fence because you're like, here's a or right
to walk the funk through right and you must must
leave it. Also, we have refrigerated water there, there's spa

(25:08):
water all right. At that look at a law of work,
Like if there wasn't a lots that means that random
people could just build brick walls along their backyards along
the southern border. Yeah, but I mean, look, we still
have laws, and we're still doing this fucking, terrible, awful
ship to innocent people. So it's some laws work, Yeah,
they work for some of us, that's right. Just not us.

(25:31):
All right, guys, let's talk about weather reporting. It's about
time we talked about this. Uh. There was an interesting
article in The New Yorker last week about how weather
forecasting keeps getting better, and it's basically making the point
that all it's important to all different industries, so there's
a reason, uh that everybody would want to keep making

(25:56):
it better. Um, but there's also it's like such a
common plex like math equation like that. Basically the message
I got from this article is that, like landing a
spacecraft on Mars requires dealing with hundreds of mathematical variables,
making a global atmospheric model requires hundreds of thousands. I

(26:16):
think that's like the key quote from the article. So
basically we're still like it is the furthest frontier, like
being able to model out weather patterns and it it
is we are getting better at it, like we're but
it's over the course of you know, decades. Uh, you

(26:36):
won't be able to notice the difference, like from one
year to the next, but from one decade to the next.
If you like looked back on the nineties and compared
like how accurate the weather forecast were back then to today,
it's pretty it's a pretty significant difference. Like what are
we batting now? Uh, I don't They didn't break it
down to a percentage, but it's just a much higher percentage,

(26:59):
and they can get more detailed about like when things
are going, yeah, happen, what's funny? Yeah? How Like weather
really is one of those things that are so hard
to accurately understand because we don't even understand like our
own planet so much to really be able to do that.
Like that's why I know the Juno mission and Jupiter.
That probe that's going around Jupiter is actually also very

(27:20):
important for weather reporting too, because like, the more they
can understand about Jupiter like hold so many other keys
to understand even weather. So I'm glad we're not using
that old as almanac anymore. Right, Yeah, but we do
understand a lot, right, it's like super sophisticated techniques sophisticated,
but there's still a lot about planetary formation we don't
know when we look at Jupiter. Basically, like they say,

(27:42):
a lot of the material that wasn't used to make
Jupiter help create a lot of the other planets in
the Solar System. So it's like, you know, like we
have the end product, but we don't have the recipe,
and that's what we're still trying to figure out. But
I do think it's crazy that like this crazy complicated
and sophisticated technologies associated with al Roker. Like that's right, friend,

(28:08):
someone happy sunshine sticker behind him. I mean this is
also like scientists. One of the stories is that, you know,
our ability to forecast weather was the deciding factor in
World War Two because like when they were going to
plan the D Day invasion was like really finely tuned,

(28:29):
and like basically Germany's weather forecasters were like, it won't
be during this period because it's gonna be stormy, and
Allied weather forecasters were able to like pinpoint a specific
day that it wasn't going to be stormy and like
do a surprise attack on that day. And like I
think one of the famous generals from World War two,

(28:51):
people were like why do people speak English instead of
German today around the world, And he was like, because
we had better weather forecasters. Like that. Shout out to meteorologists, yeah, meteorology, um,
shout out to science. Shout out to barometric pressure readings.
But there's also there's also all sorts of ways that

(29:11):
it gets fucked up, Like you know, the the at
a certain point, the butterfly effect does come into account,
like cast theory. So like just you walking down the street,
like you can never have a fully accurate model of
what the weather is going to be in the next
day because you're walking down the street like creates a
small draft that creates you know, can like ripple off

(29:34):
into a million different directions, So you'll never get it
fully accurate because there's just never going to be a
input mechanism that is taking like readings at every single
atom like on the globe. So you just have to
like get as good as you possibly can basically. Um.

(29:55):
But it is one of those sorts of progress that
I feel like we take for granted because it's just
always around us, it's always there. I'm still gonna get
fucking mad at that app when it's wrong, though I
thought it was gonna be hot the fucking pool party No.
Sixty six to funk up my face Weather Channel. But yeah,

(30:16):
so lout to all the meteorologist out there. Yeah, all right,
I'm gonna start the myths out with the fact that
so my myth is that we don't know what happened
to that plane, which one from like four years ago. Yeah, yeah,
we know, we do know. Yeah, we basically know what happened.
So what happened, So it was the pilot. So yeah,

(30:40):
so um a, you're talking about ocean the Malaysian air
that disappeared, so we have so basically the reason we
didn't think I mean, it was a very strange event.
But the reason that people weren't able to put it
together pretty quickly was because Malaysia is a fairly corrupt
country and they didn't want to be pinned on them

(31:01):
as like letting this dude fly a plane, so he
was like made to be this like you know, totally
stand up person with a record. And so the main
piece of evidence, like there were all these different beacons
that showed exactly where the plane went and it like
made this big turn, and it's just it can't have

(31:22):
been hijacking, and it can't have been them flying like
passing out and the plane going on autopilot, like it
had to have been somebody was flying it and the
only rational thing is that it was a pilot. But
the main piece of evidence that like kind of nails
it for me is the pilot had a flight simulator
in his house and one of the flights that he

(31:44):
had taken was this exact route crashing into the Antarctic Ocean.
Like do what he he had done that and yes,
and it was the only one of like a thousand
different ones that he had done on like sped up.
So it's like usually he does it for the experience

(32:05):
in practice, but this one he was basically either doing
it to see how quickly the fuel would run out,
or as sort of a clue to people, like, yeah,
I'm doing this that that's what people. But yeah, he
had flown basically that exact route in a flight simulator,
but they had like basically covered it up. There's a
there's a really interesting magazine article about it that people

(32:26):
should check out. Anyways, we know did he do it,
did he do it on purpose? And the bread what
and the breadcrumbs are that he did that practice run
on his computer game, And that's not unheard of. There
was that Egyptian air flight where the dude just like no,

(32:47):
nosed it into the Atlantic Ocean. There's been a couple
of flights like that where there was the German pilot
who uh flew into the side of a mountain with
a bunch of people on board. Yeah, so it's really sad,
but it is also like, I feel like the media
is somewhat exploiting it because it's like a huge mystery

(33:07):
and they like talking about it, but it's actually just
a very sad story. What is a myth? What's something
people think it's true? You know, I was gonna say overrated,
but I guess I did them both at once, So
then I'll do. A myth is that people with cute
socks are fun people. I love that myth. I think
the biggest sociopaths in the world use cute socks as

(33:29):
a way to disguise or to try. You'll meet the
biggest Yeah, you'll meet the most sociopathic hedge fun motherfucker.
He'll be wearing the cutest socks you ever saw. And
I'm just telling you, ladies, I'm wearing white sox right now.
Yeah we're not cute. I will brand is that that's

(33:53):
cb g mL, that's my cold brew. Got me like
tube socks. Um So, I I just want to let
you know that I am a nice person with nothing.
I have no money or anything because I am a
nice person and Uh, you know, my socks are normal,
and it's my way of saying I will treat you right.

(34:14):
And if you if I was wearing socks that had
little typewriters on them or I don't know what people
get on their socks, you know you better watch out
for me because I'm trying to compensate for some evil
ship that I got. Also, sometimes I do wear cute
socks and I'm still nice, but it doesn't mean that
where the line, you know, where's the line? You don't know?
Draw the line when the guy you're dealing with with

(34:34):
the cute socks. And I would say, guy you're with
is a creep, that's where you should draw the line.
And don't don't let his cute socks factor into well
he's creep, but he wears those cutes socks. Don't like
cute socks, you know, dilute, dilute. I'm just saying, cute
socks have been weaponized by bad people. And you know what,
I don't care if that was that, I'm never gonna

(34:58):
get that. So totally, that was a real thing. I said, dude,
I know that's yeah, you know what I mean though,
I mean, like, even if it's like, yeah, even if
it's super far out and I know it's bullshit, I
still like to try and stick with it. Just just
just try it out. Yeah for sure, why not. We're

(35:20):
gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, And so are Janko jeans? Did you
wear Jenkos? I had a whole Janko outfit that was
like cream cream jeans, cream shirt with like black stitching

(35:44):
on it. Oh my god, cream in my jeans. You
had like off white jinkle outfit? Yeah, my god, Like
and the sh it was shorts and a shirt and
the shorts came down to like write about my ankles. Yeah,
I'm I had rocketwear shorts that were like that long
back in the day. Um, did you ever wear Jinkos?

(36:06):
I rock them? You did? Yeah? Damn I'm the only
one not rocking Jinkos. Never rock Jenkos, No, because I
mean when that was for like ravers, and I wasn't
like I'm already I had baggy jeans, but like the
way how baggy those things where I was like, no,
I don't have enough candy necklaces on to rock the
Jinko necklace or the jeans. What what was your style
when you were rocking ginkos. They were just like a

(36:28):
light blue jean and I was just like, what were
you into? At the time, I was really lost as
far as my fashion style. I was wet in middle school.
I think it was like A was like in middle school. Yeah,
and I was just trying things out. I was just
trying to I was trying to make up out I couldn't.
I still wasn't buying a lot of my own makeup.

(36:48):
I was using my mom's makeup. It was a real
experimental time, I really. I mean I did ditch them
soon after that, but I would rock them with like
white sneakers and like some sort of or something. I
have no. I was doing a lot of weave at
the time, like the hair extensions. It's trying to be cool,
just trying to find that that target. They were like

(37:12):
it was a lot of the what do you call
those kids, like the the goth kids would rock them,
and so I felt like I'm not goth, but like
I'm not trying to figure out my style, but that
was a goth trend. Yeah, definitely a vibe a lot
of chain while it's hanging off of it. Well, there
let me just tell you y'all something. They're back, okay,

(37:33):
And I don't know if you remember, back in the day,
you could get that ship pretty much anywhere, like Pacific
sunwhere wherever. It wasn't like it wasn't like trying to
get off white, you know, some Virgil Ablow type ship.
Well now they're coming back, and it's like in a
limited quantities and they're trying to make it like a
bespoke denim experience. Why not because you know how much

(37:55):
you know how much the cheapest fair of Jinkos costs
in the new issue or the new reissue dollars up
to three fifty for the fucking the l limited edition ship. Yeah,
capitalism um. Yeah. And they look exactly like they did before.
They are huge. They look like you hate your parents

(38:17):
exactly you hate your parents in the early nineties, right, Yeah,
But I guess that's whole. It's so funny how everything's
coming like cyclically back. Because I was wearing I have
like a Christina Aguilera stripped Justified Tour T shirt and
at the Farmer's Market, this like younger woman was like,
oh my god, that shirts so cool. Where'd you buy that?
And I was like at the tour four and she's like, wow,

(38:40):
that's so cool, like as if like it was like
that's like currency. Now it's like, damn, where'd you get
that old as shirt? I'm like, came here, look at
this old guy wearing a lot of bell bottom jeans.
At the time. Where where were you living at the time, Massachusetts, Norwood,
MASSACHUSETTLD Middle School. But even then we felt like, oh

(39:03):
it's coming back like bell Bontoms seventies and I think
Bell Bonnoms back again now? And did you have the
heels of them all just stepped on and tattered from
like walking all over him, just like everybody has to
have every everyone has to have you know, ready at
least around the hem. But yeah, I'm just it's so weird.
I just don't get it. And this these are the
moments where I'm like, yes, I am old, and I

(39:26):
do not I no longer understand. I think it's like
the everlasting value of nostalgia, right, that's all it's showing.
I was like my these whole last like ten years.
I feel like everything like Netflix came on and Friends
is the biggest show on Netflix is the biggest show.
Like everyone's just recycling old things because yeah, nostalgia was valuable.

(39:48):
Let's just regress together in every possible way. I mean,
this might be like I think this is the line
if fashion cycles back to like real baggy jeans, Like like,
I'm not going with it. I'm stuck here. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think I'm just wearing straight leg jeans for the
rest of my boots. Yeah. Anybody if people start dressing

(40:12):
like Michael Jordan again, like I'm out. We're all at
that age though. I feel like millennials are all at
that age where we're gonna whatever we're doing now is
what we'll be doing when we're fifty, right, Like what
I'm listening to. I started listening to Lauren Hill again
because that's what I was listening to when I was
like in high school and college and it's still fire
and I was like, Yo, this stuff is still I

(40:33):
started listening to the Score again. I'll be listening to
it till I'm fifty. Now there's like little Nasac. I
don't know who that is or why it's happening. Mean, yeah,
but I don't know, you know, I'm just like, oh,
I'm at that age when I just like ignore new stuff. Yeah.
There are times too when I'm like looking at like

(40:55):
even artists I know, like rappers, and I'm looking at
the feature funk is this man person like Toddler Man
that this fucking screen name like rapper names. It is
not a screen name like xx roxy chick one x X.
I mean, like, all right, that's gonna do it for

(41:16):
this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show.
If you like the show, uh means the world to Miles.

great weekend and I will talk to him Monday by
