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

(00:25):
What is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are? Oh? Um, so I googled what it
means when your dog keeps sleeping under your bed? Um,
when they used to sleep on your bed because on
rather than on top with you. Yes, so he used
to sleep on my bed and I used to try

(00:46):
to teach him not to, but then he just did
it and I was like, okay, And then all of
a sudden, he won't sleep on my bed and he
kind of like I feel, I kind of feel like
it's like a you know, personal rejection. Yeah, it's it
really feels like I'm in a loveless marriage. Um, he
did just get his annual check up and he's fine,
so it's not a health thing. So I thought maybe
he was having some sort of emotional aversion to me,

(01:06):
but most articles just said like they might be depression,
which I'm not sure, or it might be um that
they just are hot but it really, it really feels
like the way he's been like, we'll come home, and
now instead of going to my room where he usually does,
he goes to my roommates room and her george usually closed,
and then he sniffs for a moment and then looks
at me and then goes to my room. So I'm like,

(01:29):
this dog, he never scratches at your roommates store, because
that would be a dagger through, right, that would be like,
please get me away from this bitch exactly. It does
feel like a very subtle emotional warfare. Yeah, I feel
like he's trying to tell me that he doesn't want
to be in this relationship. But I really don't know
what to do, Like do you give up a dog

(01:50):
that doesn't love you as much anymore? Is there no
like evolutionary reason for that? Because I always wondered why,
Like my dog always sleeps at the foot of my
bed and there, and I read that it's like a
pack animal thing like where they're just like my my
station is to be at the foot. I think I
think that's what I've read, that I'm supposed to be
the alpha. Perhaps I did something that in his eyes,

(02:11):
she's self cut so now he doesn't respect me, and
it's very bizarre. I don't have an answer. An I
think you've got to beat up another dog in front
of him, right, yeah, oh you know, we'll do We'll do. Okay,
so he doesn't speak English, but well you don't know
that he is here, so I do feel a little oward. Okay,

(02:33):
Well we'll test this out. I will come and like
fake rob him on the street and yes, exactly, coffee
my eyes right right, respect me exactly, and don't tell
your roommate either, because her, her, whoever your roommate is.
You don't want them to give You want them to
react as authentically as possible, so the dog knows that

(02:55):
you are the protector. Yeah, I think that's that's a
very good idea. I think I'll do that. So if
anyone wants me, um, I will give you my after
the show. But if that doesn't work, the only responsible
thing is for you to give him to me, because
You're dog is adorable and I want He does kind
of look a little like fan they have similar y. Yeah,
he's like a less uh just uh messed up looking

(03:20):
at one thing. I think has an eye that goes
in all sorts of different direction. We I like to
call that an independent wonky eyes yeh eyes calm independent, right,
you know what I mean? Not dependent on the other
independent spirit award goes the thing I was thinking of.

(03:41):
Remember in that piece about what's her name, the Callaway influencer,
Caroline Callaway, there's a reference to how she would like
had a bunch of King Charles cabinets or whatever, and
I thought, I was like, I wonder what you know,
all narcissists, that's our favorite type of was it that
she wasn't taking what was it the reference you like?
And like another King Charles, that she would barely pay
attention to it, She wouldn't pay, she wouldn't take care

(04:02):
of it, and other people had to deal with it. Yeah.
I also think like more dogs would sleep under beds
if they like thought about it, because dogs it's more comfortable. Well, no,
dogs like cave like dogs used to like live in
dens and so like that's a comfortable thing for them

(04:23):
to do. Comforting. Yeah, it's not the fact that he's
under the bed. It's the fact that all of a
sudden he changed. Okay, all right, I think I just
have to work on, you know, my our relationships. Maybe
maybe I should pass them around to other friends for
a couple of weeks at a time, and then that
way let him explore his options. Yeah, or like us,

(04:43):
but or anyway we can we can talk about all
kinds of ways to manipulate your dog emotion later. Look,
it's clearly something you did. I was just trying to
spare you. What is a myth? What's something people think
it is true? You know to be false? Hey? Bro? Concept?
Like have you ever considered our concepts aren't real? Are
you making fun of me right now? But like, but again,

(05:11):
I was like, oh, it's my fourth or fifth time here,
and I need to come up with another myth that
I can debunk, you know, because I was like, there's
plenty a myth out there, but one that can debunkum.
And I just thought, based on what I've experienced this year,
I was like, well, it proved to me that any
concept that you actually experienced is real, you know, so
you can read something so that the example I use

(05:32):
as I think Jenny the neuroscientist, right, she can be
in a black and white room and learned about the
color red, right everything, the radio wave, you know, how
it can be used. It represents love but also danger,
all of those things. But until she steps out that
room and actually sees the color red, she hasn't had
the full information, right, And so then it becomes this
really interesting thing where you go, Okay, I've studied my

(05:54):
entire life this thing that exists out there in the
universe or past the universe, or about time and stuff,
but until you really experience it, like for people that
make beers, right, you can make beer, you can put
the ingredients in your write, water, barley, all of that delicious,
but until you're like drunk on, you haven't had the
full experience of beer. And so it makes creatively speaking

(06:19):
and actually philosophically speaking and stuff, and actually maybe to
involve as a human being, it's interesting to start thinking
about the concepts that you believe in and then maybe
see if you can break them down to truly understand
the universe. How do you explore income? Alan Watts? But yeah,
it's true I think that the experience. I mean, we
can know so many things intellectually, right, but like, but experience,

(06:41):
even just even adding experiences, even to your point, might
not be something you think you need or don't need
or whatever. But just always giving yourself new stimulation through
experience can lead a tremendous growth time. Time is measured
by change, right, and so for example, of brain will
always measure something for the first times. He always remembered
like your first kiss and first this, first that. And

(07:03):
as you get older, people are more and more afraid
of doing more first, and their full time sort of
moves in a sort of like kind of way, which
is why you should constantly keep your challenging yourself to
experience first, or read about first, or do more first,
because then all of a sudden, your memory bank just
keeps feeling because your brain goes this is first. That's
why people in the car crash they say, like it

(07:25):
moved slowly. Bro, I don't know why everyone's hanging out
a freshman philosophy student who just took a bong hit um. Yeah,
but yeah, stimulate your mind, yeah, because it's true, like
you know you can you can go to that same
bar for the nine hundredth time. That's not going to
really necessarily open up something new in your memory, but

(07:47):
you might remember trying, like ship, maybe I'll will go
to this weird grunge show even though I'll grunge all
the time. I'm trying to do that with music too
now because I like music, but there's some genres of
music I'm like, I don't know if I'm interested in
seeing a live show of because I wouldn't really listen
to it normally. But I'm more like, no, you know what,
like taking the experience of seeing this other form of
the thing is well. Taking in the experience even if

(08:08):
you don't really fit in or you don't like it,
just be chill, enjoy it, take it all in its well.
Being just uncomfortable typically leads to a huge growth or
something like you know, like even when you're a kid,
right like when I was playing sports, I would when
I had to. When I was good enough to play
with like a lot older kids in hockey, Like I
was very scared because I was like, these kids are
two years older than me, and like when you're twelve,

(08:29):
that's like a whole fucking universe of size. But but
that experience to be uncomfortable like forced me to improve
or whatever. It's like anything, just put yourself in uncomfortable
positions and you will prevent guys. I want to talk
about the show The Righteous Gemstones on HBO. Uh and
it's real world equivalent that is unfolding and Virginia with

(08:52):
Jerry Fallwell's children and grandchildren. Um So, first of all,
shout out to HBO, whoever is green lighting these shows
is fucking nailing the zeitgeist. Like twenty months in advance,
Chernobyl Chernobyl was like so perfect, which I guess wasn't
like so hard to predict because you knew we had
a an administration coming in with their head like all

(09:17):
the way up there as also yeah, like the sort
of obscuring of truth and how that's used in service
of darker ends and things like that, but with righteous Gemstones,
I mean I had they and Danny McBride fully nailed
h the Fallwell family, like, I mean, I guess, I
guess they've been around for a while, but it's it's

(09:38):
pretty wild, like the stuff that is being revealed about
how Jerry Folwell Jr. Who is the Charisma list bearded
guy who shows up at a lot of like Republican
events and talks like this like in really slow motion
dead pan. Uh he is is he sweating a so

(09:58):
could iced tea as he's weeks? Yeah, declare not even
he's very like very memorable. He's like, oh, yeah, that guy.
And then you're like, where wasn't your guy that your
wasn't your dad the guy that was like teletub yous
are going to make kids gay or something? Yeah, but
he was also his dad basically invented the whole like

(10:21):
what we know now as the Baptists Born Again movement
that we associate most like American Christianity with. Jerry Fallwell
Senior like invented that essentially, and he died in two
thousand seven. Jerry Fallwell the Second took over basically the
whole company and control of Liberty University, which was a

(10:43):
university that was started by his dad. Uh. It is
a nonprofit and not for profit, which means you're not
allowed to profit, you're not allowed to have a political motive. Uh.
And he has all of those things and like blatantly
uses it to like self deal himself like great real

(11:05):
estate opportunities, uh, like in the name of buying it
for the school or something exactly. The school like sold
his personal trainer this like gorgeous huge property to like
so that Jerry Fallwell Junior could like work out there,
and sold it to him for like an incredibly cheap price.

(11:26):
He's also like childishly horny and like talks to everybody
about how he has sex with his wife, like nails
her and he's like, oh, now, my wife's so hard
and like she can't handle a big dick bro. His
co worker, his co workers, and like they're I guess
who are the co workers at this weird church? Anyway,
they're probably hell yeah, dude, And then like no that No,

(11:49):
everybody's like what so that they're like actually conservative Christians
who are actually They're like, this is a fucking nightmare.
It's like a dictatorship under this dude. Like everybody is
terrified and just disgusted behind his back, but around him,
they're all just like you said, uh, sex god. He

(12:12):
once sent a picture of his wife in like a
French maid's outfit around to a bunch of like board members,
and I was like, sorry, guys, meant to send that
to my personal trainer. It's like, no, you didn't, fucking creep.
But also I feel so desperately sorry for him. I
honestly doesn't know because he's being in I think if

(12:34):
you can extract all that evil shit he does in
exploitative bullshit he does under this The saddest thing, isn't it?
Like you guys, look, I do have sex with a lady.
I feel like you don't. He really reminds me of
Donald Trump Jr. Like the the whole first of all
his beard and chinless beardedness, but also just his like

(12:55):
never really experienced discomfort other than his father's disapproval, and
so you know, takes it out on everybody else. Jack,
my interrupts your hair. He said chinless, as if that
was a really bad thing. I would like to explore
that further, because take a good look at my face. Jack,
don't have a chin to myself, and you said chinless

(13:16):
in such a weight. I'm looking right there. What I
need a bid to make it seem like I've got
a chin? But if I shave. Gavin McGinnis, like that
famous video he did years ago before he became Mr.
Proud Boys, was like talking about why he needs a
beard or he shaved, He's like, because I don't have it.
It was like when you saw that, I was like, Oh,

(13:36):
there's that energy that will be into evolved what a
proud boy is. Then you have Eric who's self actual
eyes and you know empathetic, and he's like, yeah, we're
all delf chins. Some get some have bigger chins and
some get a huge ones though too. Le Reese weather Spain.
What a beautiful chin she has. Oh my god, I
want to hold that chin, most adorable good night. Would

(13:58):
you ever get a chinn in plant? No? I have
considered getting my gums smaller? Oh all big a teef.
You Americans have massive teeth and I've got like these
tiny little milk teeth. Still, and so if I smile,
and if you really make me smile, the upper lips
of hides under itself and then all of a sudden

(14:20):
you reveal this god gant you and the wonder of you.
Did you hang out with other Zeke guest Jamie Loftus
at all in Edinburgh? I didn't see them because I
actually lived outside of Edinburgh. I'd come in, I'll do
my show, and I get she's a vineers expert. Oh yeah,
she can spot veneers, like from literally blocks away, like

(14:43):
someone about to come around the corner with the nears, Like,
how did you okay? Whatever, that's that's your sad movie powers. Yeah,
She's like, it's not a useful superpower. But it's a superpower.
But they so anyways, getting back to this political article,
they it's written by somebody who's a graduate of Liberty University,

(15:03):
and so there has had it. Well, they've just they're
a journalist. They've written for the New York Times, and
they are just dealing with like contacts they have right, right, right, wrong,
right wrong. Anyways, the way that Jerry Fallwell Jr. Has
chosen to deal with this is by trying to get
the FBI to investigate the writing of the story because

(15:24):
emails were leaked in connection with the story. So that's
your defense, that's his defense. How the heck did people
find out? What I say? It's a crime I think.
And then the day after he said that, that's how
he was dealing with it. Reuter's had some emails from
them that they published where he uh called one student

(15:48):
and emotionally imbalanced, emotionally imbalanced, and physically retarded, and called
the school's chief of police a half wit who is
easy to manipulate, like a like a villain, just bragging
about how easy it is for them to get away
with their crime. So there's also an amazing character named

(16:09):
Trey who was actually Jerry follwell the third That's why
he's called Trey Uh. And he is a in addition
to being like having some big, you know, puffed up
position inside the Liberty University family, is a Miami party
boy with a hostel and you know, always out at

(16:30):
the clubs. Uh took a picture of twelve thousand dollars
of cash on his hotel bed in Manhattan when he
went up there with his homie to do a job
for Michael Cohen back when he was part of Trump's organization.
Had to delete that. There was also pictures of he
and his dad partying at a Miami nightclub. Uh that

(16:52):
they had to get like taken down off the internet. Um,
that might be the best moment in the story. So, uh,
if you don't mind, I want to just read a
couple of excerpts from that. So there were images of
Jerry follow Jr. And his son Trey like going hard
in a nightclub at a nightclub. On July fourteen, popular

(17:13):
Swedish DJ John dal Bach performed at wall A Nightclub
in Miami Beach that night. The club happened to have
a photographer on site to grab candid shots at the revelry.
The photos were shared online by World Red Eye, an
outlet that documents Miami's nightlife scene, uh and Jerry and
Trey Fallwell were visible in some of the pictures. The

(17:34):
outlet identified Trey by name. In a statement on August
twenty one, Jerry Fallwell denied the existence of any photo
of him at the club. There was no picture snapped
of me at Wall Nightclub or any other nightclub, Fallwell wrote,
I'm sure you already knew that. Though. When told that
I had obtained a photo of him for this article,
Fallwell said I was quote terribly mistaken. If you show

(17:56):
me the picture, I can probably help you out. He wrote,
I think you're making some incorrect assumptions, or have been
told false things, or are seeing something that was photo shopped.
The old it's probably photo shopped. After I sent him
the photo as well as a photo of Trey at Wall,
Fallwell responded, I never asked anyone to get rid of

(18:17):
any pictures on the Internet of me, and I never
have seen the picture you claim is of me below.
If the person in the picture is me, it was
likely photoshopped. And a second email, sent twenty three minutes later,
Fallwell wrote, but the bigger question Brandon is, why would
I want a picture like that taken down if I
had seen it? Which doesn't really like make sense. He's

(18:37):
clearly spinning out. They include the picture you can like
see Jerry Fallwell just like you know, grinning stupidly amongst
like a bunch of eighteen year old like fucking seen kids.
He looks like he's they're like on Molly or ye.
Then he looks like he's gurning or something. He's like
chewing on like a fucking cocktail straw like a dude

(18:59):
as a is there another set? According to several people
at direct knowledge of the situation, Fallwell the president of
a conservative Christian college that frowns upon co ed dancing
parenthesies Liberty. Students can receive demerits if seen co ed
dancing and prohibits alcohol use parenthesis, for which students can

(19:21):
be expelled. Uh so puritan. According to sources, he was
angry that photos of him clubbing made it online. To
remedy the situation, multiple liberty staffords said, Folwell went to
John Gauger twelve gauger Man, who may characterize as his
I T guy, and asked him to downgrade the photos.
Prominence on Google searches. Gaujor did not respond to requests

(19:44):
for comment. Gauger has worked at Liberty since earning his
m b A. And it's basically like his body Man
and Fallwell essentially like asked him to get the get
them down in terms of their Google search for this
su oh shit works right, or this Google fucking crap. Dude,
get just get rid of it, like those pictures of

(20:06):
a rod with his shirt off exactly. They did a
great job. It's hard to find those picks. Gauger has
also run Redfinch LLC, an online business he founded that
specializes in search engine optimization. Uh and Liberty paid Redfinch
three thousand dollars. So that's like the sort of underhanded,

(20:29):
like self dealing ship that they do. They have employees
of Liberty University who then have their own companies that
Liberty then pays out shiploads of money to. There's also
a lot of stuff where they are doing things that
are blatantly like in favor of Trump. For instance, they
changed the day that finals were on during an election

(20:51):
year because they wanted kids and like told kids to
go out and vote. Conservatives can't do that, Yes, well,
good to know that, Like, but I mean, yeah, that's
what scummy people do. It's just like what Trump does.
Like anybody who's running a fucking you know, uh, belowboard business.
You're like, yeah, I got fixtures on payroll, but they
have a consulting company. I pay out. I call it.

(21:12):
I tell people he's my I T guy. Meanwhile, he's
a person who scrubs the Internet of like damaging shit
about us. Yeah, but if you're so worried about the photo,
can't he just shopping himself out of it? Right? Exactly exactly,
He's like, you're deeply mistaken. Took care of it. A
powerful tootal in American politics. Yeah, yeah, dude, you know
what they say, the sharp he is mightier. They do

(21:34):
say that. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back and we're back. All right, Let's
talk about a brit Spot pizza hut. Oh bless them
poisoning us to even though they're another hyper conservative pizza outlet,

(21:58):
at least they're poisoning us with pleasure. They have created
the stuffed cheese it pizza. Now, what is it? You
ask to me? It looks like if you spilled the
ooze from teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a box of cheese.
It's that's what this thing is. They say you can
eat it in about They don't give the actual dimensions,
but they say it's a two to three bite. Okay.

(22:20):
In the picture it looks like a cheese it, which
I'm it looks like a throw pillow in my mind,
that's how big that is. But thinking that bucket of
ketchup is like or what Marina, but I need another
thing for scale. I wish again we knew what the
scale was. But what they're saying it's a it's a
crust infused with the sharp cheddar flavor of cheese it

(22:41):
and stuffed with either cheese or pepperoni and marinara dipping sauce.
I've been waiting for. From my purely stoned point of view,
this must happen. I mean, this has to. I have
to have it. I will, you know what, I'm going
to try and order it so I can we can
try it on that air or whatever you call this
on the pods, Like do you know how they have
mozzarella sticks? They should make mozzarella pillows like throw pillows.

(23:05):
That's oh yeah, like those circular ones. Yeah, just like
a giant pillow and everyone can just hold onto it
and eat it from the side. Oh whoa, whoa, Okay, okay,
you went there. You know the fish balls that should
just make mozzarella pillows. Okay, I would seeking of a pillow,
an actual fabric pillow that looks like a big gas mozzarella. No,

(23:25):
I think it should be breaded and filled with cheese. Okay,
I would, man, you know, but like twenty minutes into
that thing, when everyone's like saliva, like they're weird, like rap,
bite part of the mozzarella stick and be like, you
know what, maybe still this thing. You gotta eat it,
lady in the tramp style without using your hands. Yeah, yeah,
like a gigantic corn cob. Everyone gets you grow your

(23:46):
sleeves up. We're eating corn. How do you eat on
the pretty? Sure? Eat my corn? How I need to
with a group. Now, I don't think this looks particularly good,
and I'm not a huge Pizza Hut fan, but I am.
I do admire the fact that they actually fucked with

(24:08):
the bread on this, like they changed the crust into cheese. It.
Whereas I was, I was very disappointed in the KFC
Cheetos where the breading around the chicken turned into Cheeto.
They just put a Cheeto sauce on it. That's bullshit.
Last company that actually changed the bread portion of the
thing Doritos Locos talking that is the best. Uh so, yeah,

(24:35):
let's see. I don't know, will will we try this? Dude?
If we don't try it, I would. I'm sort of god,
I'm gonna eat this ship this weekend because the thing is,
you know, health aside, politics aside, dignity aside. I love cheese.
It's I remember as a child my love for cheese.
It's was undying and I went to a point where

(24:56):
I ate so many cheeses I couldn't eat them anymore.
But now the time has asked, I'm remembering my past love.
I'm seeing it the glow up happen with the next
and I'm like, you know what, let's make another mistake.
I thought you were going to say it was like
topped with cheesetts, and then it's like, that's an interesting choice, right, yeah,
But I think you know, this could be the beginning
of a very great partnership with Kellogg. Although that would

(25:20):
be worth trying. Just order a pizza and then top
it with cheese. It's I don't know, do you like
crunchy topping on a on a pizza like that? Like yeah, yeah, okay,
Well we'll have to do I think a number of
tests with cheese it's and pizzas and figure out what
the best version did cheese melt? If you know he

(25:40):
did it up? It's a straight up that she will
turn to ash and then just sizzle and is very
h like innovative. They have the well done cheese. It's
that you can get. That's like the box full of
the well done. They got well done? Yeah don't they.
I don't know. I'm not not since uh Sufie Lichterman

(26:02):
has shuttled them into the office. Yeah, so they they're
certain like every once in a while you'll get done
in the bottles a little bit darker, a little bit browned.
Who's a little extra there and somebody, you know, I
found out that people were working with those and they
just were like, nothing but the well done. Yeah, so

(26:22):
jesus out here. Uh, they're they're willing to take risks
respect to brands who know that like like weird one
off things in their boxing, like what if we just
did a whole thing about that. Yeah, it's called understanding
our consumer base. Uh, let's talk instead about food regulators. Uh.

(26:43):
Uh so this is uh, this is we we've talked
I think before about how in the US food regulation
is just a joke, like the U s d A,
like the the food pyramid that we all grew up
on is a joke that is at least partially influenced
by huge food companies. Uh. And you know what one

(27:07):
of the ideas that seems to be behind a lot
of US food and nutrition is uh like not that
you should consume less or change what you're consuming, just
that you should like be more active, but that in
fact you should maybe consume more. Like the food pyramid
is like eat your way to health, but eating these

(27:28):
foods of the industries, right, love of bread as one
of your servings. Even when I was like a kid,
I'm like, do I need this much bread? Teacher? How
many breads do I do? They're like nine servings of grains.

(27:48):
And you know now that I think about this. In school,
we had to do a food pyramid coloring thing and
my mom, now I'm having a very vivid memory of
her saying it was bullshit. It was completely was like,
we didn't eat like this in Japan. No, and I'm
we like live as long as everybody else's like nine breads.
Japan lives much longer than everybody, or not everybody, but

(28:11):
definitely longer than were out here. I'm not doing myself
any miles is never gonna die. But the yeah, the
one I used when I was a kid, it's six
to eleven breads, six to eleven. It was the bottom
of the But that's a car, but starts. Have your
pasta sandwich, Give me some flower in these veins breads. Yeah.

(28:37):
So there's a reason that we were getting all of
this complete bullshit, and it's that the food industry kind
of realized that if there were going to be these
regulating uh you know forces, regulating committees, uh, they would
create their own regulating committees and put like big food
scientists on those regulating committees and just have the meetings

(29:01):
for them at five star hotels and they would fly
like nutritionists out to them and stuff. So, uh, there's
one in particular that's called the I l s I.
It is the uh let me International Life Sciences Institute,
the International Life Science which sounds great, doesn't it. It's

(29:23):
international life science. What's I like the word international? I
like life I like science institute institutes are fine. Uh,
but it's so during the eighties and nineties they were
basically doing the bidding of the tobacco industry. Uh. They
also have done work for or people who were trustees

(29:44):
on their board have been named to committees for different
governments where they overrode existing like accepted science. For instance,
there was the uh mon Santo Um Oh great, what's
the mon Santo thing? That round round up? Yeah, so

(30:08):
there was a World Health Organization study that said that
mon Santo's round uphead and ingredient that was carcinogenic and
that was accepted science. And then a person from this
Life Science Institute, uh like worked on a committee that

(30:29):
overrode that and said that it quote probably isn't carcinogenic. Wait,
but how does this Life Science Institute work? Because like,
if it's a non governmental body, how are they influencing
They just get like named like they they just become
incredibly influential by recruiting like major people from and then
inoculating them, educating them, then sending them out into the

(30:51):
world with their stamp on their back. I'm I l
s I. It was founded by a Coca Cola executive,
and it seems to share key parts of Coca Cola's
nutrition philosophy, which is there's a Coca Cola nutritional philosophy. Yeah.

(31:12):
Well the way it's basically a marketing strategy. Yeah, it's
that you stress physical activity over dietary changes. So you
know all those stories where it was like your sedentary,
your sedentary lifestyle is the cause of your obesity. It's
like another blamey tact of like you got to eat

(31:33):
all our ship, but you also have to run six
hours a day doesn't kill you. Yeah, it's like, well,
hold on, the option isn't gonna be don't stop eating
the poison now, just do some other ship to offset it.
The reason you don't like meth is because you're not
sleeping enough. So sleep more, continue to do math. Your
body is really failing to process this poison. Like it

(31:55):
really but because people are sort of onto them in
Western media, they're focusing a lot of and not completely
onto them, Like they're still incredibly influential and way more
influential than like the U s d A or the
f d A in America UM because they're just like
the actual things that are supposed to be looking out
for us are being outspent by these huge companies. But

(32:19):
they're focusing a lot of their energy on China, India
and Brazil, the world's first and second biggest most populous
nations and then sixth most populous, and China, Like the
head person in charge of nutrition in China is also
like a board member of this company. Last year, the

(32:39):
candy maker Mars withdrew from I L s I, saying
it could no longer support an organization that funds advocacy
led studies. So like Mars, the candy company was like,
I'm out, So your life science institute is too corrupt
for us. Mars a candy cump and Jesus. Yeah, Like

(33:01):
we're like we're pushing sugar right straight sugar, and we're like, hey,
I mean like we're trying to be a little bit
real about this, speaking of uh sugar. They basically did
what they did with round Up. They also did two
various studies around the world that we're basically saying that
sugar is bad for you. Like the World Health Organization

(33:21):
has been trying to get the message out that sugar
is bad for you, but then they keep getting uh
kind of pushed down by various governmental organizations that are
headed up by people from the I L. S I. UM.
So India is really like struggling with obesity. They've with

(33:42):
just different Western food companies moving in. Seventy million people
have diabetes and people think that that number is going
to go to a D and twenty three million in
the next decade. So the government is doing things like
putting tax on sugar, sweet and soda and putting they
were going to put this big red label on all

(34:04):
foods that didn't have the right you know ratios of
like nutrition uh to to food basically power your human
body and uh and this dude came in and basically
stalled it. Uh and he was from the I L.
S I. So it's like the Coke Network basically, where
like you have lobbyists or people that think tanks are

(34:26):
just like, yeah, this is the prevailing thought. We need
to like infiltrate all these agencies with now go forth
and reek a snake getting its un tail of various Yes, man,
I would watch this Adam McKay movie. Yeah, for sure,
I mean the food industry and you know the tobacco industry.
The food industry is basically the where the tobacco industry,

(34:47):
like policies went, and it's just such a transparent like
it's just capitalism showing it's as basically and what an asset,
what a big juicy ass and it could only be
powered by Coca Cola. How you get that booty sugar
sugar fat and salt sugar fat running six hours a day,

(35:10):
running six hours agoing to the gym too, that's how
you get these ratios powerful. Oh wow, Well, um, I'm glad.
I was already frightened about sugar when I just saw
that one YouTube video where they cooked the sugar and
like a can of coked down into like it's caramelized sludge.
Like when you visually see like what that cook stand is, Like, ah,

(35:32):
it's like I'll drink one. It look like it's so weird,
Like how much we know? Like I did a like
a quote unquote science experiment when I was in I
just killed someone. It was a decomposition product, it was,
but we did like the experiment where you take your
baby teeth and you put them in different sodas and

(35:54):
see how quickly oh yeah, yeah, and Coke is always
the one that like like three days is that you're
there will be no tooth, like the tooth disappear. Uh.
You know credit where credits due to Edgar Sprite. You know.
It lasts your your too. It's not gonna thrive, but
it's not gonna die. Mountain DeWitt starts growing another life

(36:17):
form around it. It starts to speak English and it's
really mad. And in Mexico, the head of I L
S I in Mexico was a former co executive. Somebody
reported on it, and uh, he was suspended for a year. Uh,
and then the journalist or the person person was suspended

(36:41):
for a year. It became this big national controversy. Uh.
And then he was immediately brought back in and is
now the new executive director. So they sidelined him because
of this revelation, and then they brought him right back.
So just like purely just for the appearance. Sorry they
he didn't I brought back. They've brought in a new

(37:02):
executive director who was the former director of public affairs
at Coca Cola. So they just don't give a fuck.
They'll just do the right thing as long as people
are looking, but then they have ways of making people
look the other direction. So yeah, good, good to keep
in mind. All right, don't and don't forget if you
have your six to eleven breads today. Yes, yes, yes,

(37:25):
I'm halfway. I'm like waist deep in various breads, feeling
a little lightheaded. I'm gonna shove a handful of pizza
dough into my mouth. All right, we're gonna take another
quick break and we'll be back. And we're back. Let's

(37:50):
talk about what maybe is the only story we should
ever be talking about. The fact that there are actual
UFOs on camera that we've seen doesn't mean they're aliens
that are doing impossible things that shouldn't be possible. That
like you can hear the pilot on the video being like,
holy shit, they're flying against the wind and they're just

(38:13):
like going so fast they can't even like the camera
can't even keep up, and then they just like do
a ninety degree turn and like shoot off in the
other direction. It was that video new No, no, it's
an old video, but because so it was provided by
a blink one two before the dude from two and
his like Mission to the Stars or Stars Academy and

(38:36):
the Stars thing, and people were like, yeah, it looks
like really official Navy stuff, and like a lot of
people were saying it's probably real. But the Navy came
out and was like those videos are real, but they
weren't supposed to get out, which was amazing. Which is
kind of a weird statement that, Yeah, I get so

(38:56):
happy when I hear about aliens. Yeah, so, but please
don't destroy us. I hope they destroy us, honestly, you know, honestly, yeah,
I would. You're right. You're right. Actually, when I think
about it, if if we if we got to die
by all together the aliens, I would be the coolest thing.
Or to see a big gass asteroid just come like
the sun go dark and be like yo, I think

(39:18):
about that all the time. I'm walking down the street,
Like you want, I have annihilation fantasies too. Do you
want an apocalypse that is over like that, like sun
goes dark and then gone? Or do you want one
that like you got a couple of weeks to say
about it. If that was the case, I would do
like a suicide. Yeah. I wouldn't wait till the end.

(39:40):
It would be too much. I knew it was going
to end. I feel like you would see society completely collapsed,
and it would be so I think versus I would
like two three hours. Yeah, but then even then those
two thron be wacky. Yeah right. I would like to
be like, okay, Aliens, cut me a deal, Like if
I'm on vacation with my family, let it happen right
at least, like, hey, we're together though we we're in

(40:00):
the living room, check this out here they come crack
a bottle. I know, because I think I would feel
bad if I was, you know, with y'all right now
and Sam, I would like see my grandpa, Like I
like people real quick, thanks a lot, man. I don't
want anybody to know because when that ship goes down
inevitably because I'm with you everybody so much, and it happens,

(40:21):
I'll be like, you know, it's not how I wanted it,
but let's make it work. I was just gonna say,
I hope I'm not with my kids and I'm here
with Miles, so that I so I can at least
how much he means to me. Anyways, the reason they
came out and we're like and it's not supposed to
get out, but yeah, it's real is They are encouraging

(40:41):
people who witness these UFOs to report them because in
the past, people who work for the Navy would see
them and just be like, well, ship, everyone's gonna think
we're crazy, Like, you know, say that we saw a UFO.
So they're saying, don't call them UFOs, their u a
p s Unidentified aerial phenomena, and they're they're just like

(41:08):
more pissed that these objects are breaking into our airspace
without any explanation or right because I was going to say,
like maybe that it's like an asteroid or a flying star,
but no, they're actually in the under the atmosphere and
they're moving around freely like intermving in like that's piloted,

(41:29):
not just like flying into the water. It's like stopping. Nope,
this way now you know what's excited one video too,
I just like the excitement of the Navy pilots because
they're like, oh, ship, did you lock on it? And
it's like, no, man, I'm tracking, like you can tell.
They're even like what the funk are we looking at it?
And I'm excited as a human being because I've not
seen anything this is outside of our realm of understanding.

(41:50):
So are they visiting and taking pictures? We have no idea.
There's there's also like images. Imagine if you had that
an answer for me. Actually, it's actually the reconnaissance missions
actually occurred in the eighteenth century, this final planning for invasion.
There there are videos of them like hovering above the ocean.

(42:14):
Now these aren't like the Navy videos, but hurting about
the ocean. The oceans like boiling or crazy. Man. I mean,
whatever it is, it's we don't know, it's it's definitely
a phenomena. Yeah, yeah, bos amigos welcome. Well, so the

(42:39):
military is not saying that to people coming to Area
fifty one today. The day is the day? Uh that
was initially announced on that Facebook group storm Ry fifty one.
They can't stop us. All of coincidence that that other
story would come out like the day. Yeah, I think it.

(43:01):
I think it came out a few days ago. But
uh yeah, maybe the Navy is like, look, we're we're
gonna admit it. They're real, just like I don't don't
don't we don't want to have to shoot you all. Yeah,
I mean yeah that but that group got canceled because
it became so many people who were joining, and then
the government was like, do not fucking even think about

(43:21):
doing this, And they visited the dude who planned it
or who started the group, and they were like, you
don't want this, like they this is not going to
go well for you or any of these Yeah, Nevada right,
nellis air Force based facility. I think I feel like
we all have one friend who would go to that thing.

(43:43):
At least three friends I think are going. We're definitely
thinking about it. When this ship, Yeah, people were talking
about it almost like it was like Coachella like that.
People are going to go on parties, like that's what
they did. I think they did another one called like
alien Stock or wood Stock or UFO stock type thing,

(44:04):
but that's going to be at that Vegas convention center
or something. So that's like that's just for money. That's
for people to like sell like Bootleg bar Simpson alien Um.
Also check out the new Daily merch where there's Simpsons,
Oh what's out? Hell yeah, announcement in the middle. Yes,
I love um. But so then there's also a group

(44:28):
called there's a I guess this new entertainment shopping complex
called Area fifteen that's in Vegas, and I think part
of their promotional things like, hey man, we don't care
if those people quit. We're going and we're going to
live stream the whole thing. So if you hey, if
you're on a shopping come, if you're listening to this
on Friday morning, check this out. Maybe the live stream

(44:48):
is happening. You might be able to see a group
of board people that want to feel what it's like
to be shot by guards, protecting the secret of militarian
getting turned into hamburg Um. And then also two Dutch guys,
one was a tuber and his friend were arrested for
fucking snooping around like past the perimeter fence an image
like ducking that that yeah, exactly, and then like when

(45:12):
the spotlight hits them, they're like freeze. Yeah. But like
when they asked them, they're like, are you here for
that dumbass Facebook group? They're like, we're not here for
the lolls. Man. They're quote, was we did not here
my honor, I'm not here for the lolls. I'm a
military guard. What he's talking about? They said. The two
Dutch guys were caught, they said, we didn't have any
intention to storm it because we leave on on the

(45:35):
day before the actual storming, So wow, how can we
do that? Uh? And they said, and we just wanted
to like quote go there. Right. So the thing that
I feel like people don't realize is that the gate
is not like right next to the warehouse where they
keep the it's area fifty one has a lot of
area you should like, Yeah, there's like miles and miles

(45:58):
and then a mountain between you and anything you're going
to want to see, So you can't just like sneak
past the gate and then like tiptoe around and find
what you're looking for. Like in their fantasy heads, they're like,
there's going to be an alien guard on like a
cigarette break like a cigarette shift. We're gonna find out

(46:20):
I smoked that, or in the movie version, they're like
wandering through it's like the second day of barely any
water and like, oh, this is a mistake, dude, And
they trip on like the secret hatch that's like the
back door into it. Whoa, and they go down and
it's like that coffee break room and men in black
like Viennese cinnamon. Oh my god, coffee, And I think

(46:43):
that's what one of the guys was terrific you know why,
because at the time, I did not know that Viennese
was an adjective form for Vienna. So I was like,
did they say Vietnamese cinnamon? And then as a kid,
that was really fucking with my head. Then I looked
it up. I bought I bought a book that was
a shooting scripted men in black, read the words out loud,
and then realize, cinema, it was sucking you up that

(47:05):
Vietnam had its own sinnament. I didn't know what it was.
I was like, in my mind, I was like, that's
not a coffee flavor because my mom drank was a
coffee snobbish growing on, and I was like, I never
heard no Vietnamese sinamen, that's where. That's how much time
I have as a child and even into this day. Yeah,
I was gonna say, you know so much and yet
I know so little. Well compared to me, you know

(47:28):
so much. I don't know anything. Oh, come on, I
know less than you and we just met. Ah, that's
not true, but thank you know it's true. What is
the myth? What's something people think it is true? You
know to be false? Oh, never accept an invitation from
a rich person anywhere ever, ever, ever, ever, So the
myth is people think you think, oh, if like can

(47:52):
be a good time, right, it could be fine. Could
get a lot cool free stuff or something like that,
free stuff like that. I don't know, just to give
on the top of my head. I got a bunch
of iPads, like in a stack that you can take.
We've never met a rich person, but I'm like, you know,
like they just got iPads around, but they could take one.
They wouldn't notice, uh, But so we had when we
were living. I was I was in Scotland for a

(48:14):
month doing my show and my boyfriend and I were
staying in this apartment building and there was like a
fancy rich couple on the bottom floor that were like
they kept looking at us like they were going to
cook us. Like it was like it was like she looks,
she looks delicious right there, just like, so what are

(48:35):
you doing here? Like they were but how many people
know you're here? But it's like you could tell they
had money, and You're just like, I don't really want
to interact with this, but they kept pushing. They figured
out when my birthday was. I don't know how, but
I was there on my birthday and they were like,
come to church with us, and we went, uh and
the church with us. We went to church with them

(48:57):
and on your birthday, on my birth I hadn't been
to church in like ten years. And another year has
passed and you become a little wiser and you realize
what was missing. Yeah, I am a righteous jumpstone there,
but the so that. So we did that, and then
on our last night, they were like, come down for

(49:18):
a bottle of pop or you know, they talk like fools,
so so they were like come down, No, it's champagne.
We're like, I'll go, and we proceeded to have Calin
was there as well. We proceeded to have I think
the most insane dinner I've ever had in my life.

(49:38):
There was no food. There was no food. There was
just champagne, and we were just sitting with this older,
rich couple and they were just talking at us like
there was I was trying to get a word in
edgewise for the first twenty minutes and we're like, they're
just gonna I took so many notes while it was

(49:59):
happening a little bit, but then mostly after I just
went upstairs and I was like, let's just get this
on because there was they were some like chaotic rich people,
where she was like a socialite. He had worked at Halliburton,
so he was like bad he's had he had a
twisty mustache and he worked at Haliburton. She used to
work for Ted Turner, and she's like, I stole his

(50:20):
credit card once then bought them mink and he said,
you sawcy lady, don't do that again. Like they were
just saying just anecdotes that haven't Yeah, this is all
common ground for us. The man had had had an
affair with Stevie Nicks, but then she found out he
worked for Halliburton and she dumped him. It was like,
there's tweet about that, Yes, about some dude who you like.

(50:44):
I met somebody who likes Stevie Knicks and then everyone's
like Stephen Knicks sucked him. I was like fairy but
still the store. It's so fucking it was. They were
the He was also married to a member of the
Bush family. He's like, I can't say which, but wait,
what everything? Do you think they were married? Were they

(51:04):
were they truthful? Do you think or did they you think?
It was like half like just major self aggrandizing and no,
unfortunately because I myself, I fact checked a lot of
it and it's all true. They're they're like sort of
low key like Scottish tabloids, stars past their prime a
little bit like they were reported a lot on a

(51:25):
lot in like the late nineties and early two thousands,
and like it was just it was absolutely I'm just
really upset. They called it a dinner and you go
and there's absolutely no food. There was olives and they
kept not But you know, I don't know why I'm
hung up on this, but I would have been I'm

(51:46):
not trying to be rude, but is there food at all?
This is a dinner and we're just drinking champagne and
you're doing monologues at They invited her to church on herthay.
I got saved. I mean, I guess for sure for
you it was her birthday, not like like it's your birthday,
so like I know what you'll want to do. Caitlin

(52:06):
thought it was like, uh, she was getting vibes from
them that was like the fan like the Rosemary's Baby people,
But I was getting vibes that was like who's afraid
of Virginia Wolf? Like they just wanted to us to
like what because they were talking about weirdly horny stuff.
At certain times they're like, well, yeah, things that occurred
to me where they were swingers who were like trying

(52:28):
to recruit you guys in and also cocaine sounds like
it could be should have them, right, but yeah, and
then Stevie Nicks ste famous cocaine story. I hope this
isn't giving away too much, but she kept identifying herself
as Princess pe Pod and he was like calling himself
I don't know, it was something Scottish, but he was

(52:50):
like captain, like huge dick or whatever, and he's like,
I remember the first time I saw you in those
fish nets, and I was like, they're trying to funk us,
like to get us drunk, so we'll fuck them. Oh no,
we didn't funk them, but I have their Yeah, so
it's always still on the table. Well, you have done

(53:11):
nothing to dissuade me from accepting an invitation from rich
people that sounds like the most fast Haliburton employees we're
going to try to fund you. What I'm saying, yes please,
I could only be honored if someone from Halliburton wanted
to fuck me because like joke, I was like, man,
he's got like Haliburton Lube, like he's got like let's

(53:33):
slick things up Albert and Penis pump horrible. All right,
that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please
like and review the show. If you like the show,
uh means the world to Miles. He needs your validation, folks.

(53:53):
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to him Monday. By S.
