Hello the Internet, and welcome to season two oh four,

best part of vaccine up No swimmers in your come.

(01:03):
Let's courtesy of Chris Mackling, a new take on the
fact that the vaccine, you know, makes you infertile. The
fact I'm gonna put that in quotes because I'm still
doing my own research on that. But you know, Chris
is pointing out here that that could just be birth control.
I could do something that you see as a positive. Anyways,

host Mr Miles Grab. What's with these homies soaking and girls?

entered the zeitgeist in away. Soaking is here to stay.

I think so. Yeah. The first sentence in say cheese

(04:43):

Young Chaos, little chaos. Blake, you are coming to us
from the streets of Philadelphia. I am no, what's good man?

(05:27):
What's new in Philly? Philly's great. We had trash pick
up day today, which was one of my favorite days
of the week. You know, you clean the slate and
start over, pile that stuff up again. Found a dead
squirrel on the wind shield of my car, which I
took personally, and yeah, so that said fuck you, Blake.

(05:47):
Your next it said you did this to me, Blake Lexler.
And then the first four numbers of my social were
generally it's the first three or the last. Yeah, yeah,
they did first four this time time. But yeah, no
dead Vermins and trash day nowmithstanding, Philadelphia is great? Yeah,
you know you've painted a beautiful picture. Yeah, I really

(06:09):
thank you. It's I'm a words myth, and I think
being a word s myth, I like drawing pictures with
my words. So yeah, we'll wonderful. Do you y'all? Do
you ever do that thing where you look at you,
like when you take your cans out, You're like, man,
I can get another weekend cans. They're called breast smiles
cans broge here for the for the garbage pick up.

(06:32):
I did that the other day. I'm like, I'm so,
I'm such a dedicated bringer out of my garbage cans,
Like there'll be one can in it, and I'll be like, yeah,
they should probably take this, But part of me is
like that seems like a waste of everyone's energy. If
like like sometimes if it's like less than a quarter full,
well on trash day, I'm like, I'll save them. I'll
save it. Yeah, I'll do the same thing where it's like,

(06:54):
well if I just hold onto this for another week.
Cans don't generally smell because the smell is my worst fear,
but just period, the smell by trash is my worst fear.
But no, you're right with across all the spectrum of
your yeah brain, aneurism, earthquake, all those distant bite distant
number two, the smell of my cans. But yeah, no
can wise. Yeah, I mean if it just piles up

(07:16):
for another week, wait three weeks? You know what I mean?
It depends on the heat, you know, because I've think
I've chanced it before and I nearly like ended my
own life with like a bunch of old shrimp that
was in a garbage Oh no, like in the in
the heat. Not what could we talk about? Sorry, my

(07:38):
nose hairs like fell out of my nose, like I remember,
Like the ammonia was like like little there's some dead
bodies we need to resurrect, bring them by this can.
That's some Christ. Yeah, no crustacean talk now on as
if you guys could be friends and not talk about
or mollusks. Okay, alright, Blake, we're gonna get to know
you a little bit better in a moment. First, a

(08:00):
couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about
Mark Zuckerberg. Thus spoke zuck. He spoke on you know,
all the all these you know, wild accusations being thrown
at Facebook. And he doesn't even like it's like they're
it's like these people are like a different planet, man,
Like what what are what are they even talking this? Really?

(08:22):
They say that about the great work we do. Come on,
we're gonna talk about the January six witnesses, who are
seeming like they're hoping to run out the clock on
having to testify in front of the Congressional January six
Committee because they have nothing to hide, so they're just
gonna or their subpoenas. We're gonna talk about Havana syndrome.

(08:45):
There's a new newly unclassified report that we'll talk about
the implications of that. We will talk about the war
on Christmas, which the lives have already started, and we
will talk about why the Zodia Act killer has not
been identified. Finally, Yeah, what's the fund is that? I

(09:05):
just nott on Twitter? There's so many Zodiac killer jokes
to catch me up on these things. I wish I
gave a funk about the Yeah, that's one of those
things where people just wrote a million Zodiac jokes and
then they didn't get to like get them all out,
and they've just been holding onto them and then anything
tangentially related to the Zodiac Killer they get to just

(09:26):
unleash those like, you know, jokes they've had on ice
for the past however many years. My friend drafts, Yes,
that's as good of an explanation as anything I've been
able to come up with for why that story has
like blown up, because it's that the claim to like
they've solved that they have these are the people who

(09:49):
we would trust to solve it is non existent. I'm
I'm totally confused by how this has become a thing.
But before we get to any of that ship Blake,
we do like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history. I will tell you that I
just wanted to give Biles props God forbid real quick
where he made me laugh so hard in the intro

(10:10):
when you referred to a pretzel rod as a straight shooter.
I lost it. Yeah, I don't know, I'm not really
My vocabulary is has been altered by many drugs, so
I I arrived at different ways to describe things that,
you know, than most people. Jack just took it as

(10:32):
just oh, that's a completely normal way to refer just
a straight straight shooter. Straight shooters get the straight shooters. Uh, nuggies.
There's all kinds of pretzels, the pretzel taxonomy. I get.
I get. It's a strange world. Okay, my search history,
Uh was that your question? Was that your question that
you asked six seconds ago that I don't remember. I

(10:54):
searched Richard Gear Bill Clinton because I was watching that
impeachment show and we were like two and a half
episodes in my fiance and I and I turned to
her and I said, oh, I can't believe they got
Dick Gear, and she just kind of ignored it because
she thought it was like a dick joke. And then
after the episode, I searched like, oh wow, like I'm
under you know, is he like how many episodes? Like

(11:16):
has he ever done something like this? And then it
wasn't Richard Gear. It's Clive Owen who was playing it.
And for three whole episodes of the show, I thought
Bill Clinton was played by Richard Gear and had not
a clue in hell, Like if you if I was
to bet the safety of my loved ones and my dog,
I'd be like, yeah, it's Richard Gear, clearly. But now
it's not Richard Gear. It said. I mean, it's like

(11:39):
how you went like real familiar to right right? Well,
you know, you gotta keep it interesting around that. Were
you able to find any other people making the same
mistake as you? Like that? That's always important when I
make a mistake is to be like, well, a lot
of other people like this has to be a trending
search term. Will just you know, say that, I can't

(12:02):
find anybody else making this mistake. I was too busy
looking up brain bleeds and uh, you know, other serious
medical issues to look into the rest of it. But yeah, no,
that is a good way. What do you have one
like that, Jack, where one time like you thought this,
and then a bunch of people like I haven't seen
anyone think Richard, you're for this. I don't even know
if the guy is still alive. Nobody knows. Nobody knows.

(12:24):
It's actually impossible to know. There's no way to know
for sure. How could you verify something like that? Yeah, no,
I have a couple of these every day. My latest
was was just coming to the conclusion that everything is
fruits there there are no vegetables, and people were quick
to point out a bunch of a bunch of trends
of that nature that. So what I do is I

(12:46):
come on this show and just talk about how I'm
wrong about everything, and then people are like, yeah, me too,
and yeah that's how. Yeah, this is all a ruse
just for Jack to feel better about Like, what don't
we talk about this other thing? Jack, He's like, I
can't believe I didn't know about this anyone else, anyone else. Yeah.
I think the closest I did was like I didn't
realize it was Jillian Anderson in the Crown playing Margaret

(13:08):
Thatcher the whole time, and I didn't even it didn't
even register. It was one of those things. I just
I accepted the performance as it was, and it was
so strong. I was just I don't I didn't even
question who the performer was. I was like, this is
Margaret Thatcher in the Crown, Margaret Thatcher as herself, Yeah,
the Crown. Yeah, And I just I don't know why.

(13:30):
I just it never occurred to me. Normally I'd be like, wow,
this this performance is great. I think on someone it was.
It was so disarming. I went further and I was like,
this is a reality show. I think these are like
this is very very te stuff. It's Margaret Thatcher. Was
so weird that you think it's a bad performance before
you like, look up a clip of her. You're like, oh,

(13:52):
that's literally that's literally what she was, like, like that's
how she spoke man a very very affected way. But like,
what is something you think is over it? Subtitles? When
you're watching television shows, if you're watching the show in
your language, like in the language that you speak, like
if you're watching a show in another language you don't
understand by all means, put subtitles Like I don't I

(14:15):
can context clues this probably understand. I gotta learn the
hard way. Yeah, I gotta. It's immersive. Yeah, but no,
I I know a lot of people and I do
this myself where you know, either you don't want the
volume on two loud because volume on things like swings
in such an insane way when you're watching something where
it could be people whispering and then there's like a

(14:35):
war scene and it's so fucking loud, you gotta like
turn the volume down real quick so you don't get evicted.
But so anyway, that was a tangent that, um, I
don't know how I got there, but my point is
is that I think, you know, I know, sometimes we'll
do subtitles if it's like like an English show for instance,
that you don't like. You can't pick up my accents
very well. Peaky is blinder, peaky, the blinders peaky. And

(14:57):
but in general, I think like a lot of people
leave it on, like I know, a lot of people
leave subtitles on. Take it off, you know, take it off,
enjoy the show, taking the visuals. Don't read the show
if you don't have to. Mm hmmm, I see, I
like it. I like it on me. Well, you know
that's what I said. You know, I guess that I'm
glad you came to fully implode your whole appearance here

(15:20):
on the show. So whenever what was gonna happen eventually, Yeah, yeah,
I know, but what better way than this? But for me,
it's mostly because like I'll be high and sometimes my
comprehension is better if I'm reading dialogue at certain times,
or if yeah, I think that's usually it, or like
in a case like Deadwood, like I had to keep
the subtitles on because everything was so fast paced and colloquial.

(15:42):
I did not know what was going on. And that's
a good point. Yeah, there are there are exceptions. That's
a very good point. There are exceptions. Thank you, thank
you so much for giving me, granting me a religious
exemption for that anytime. Yeah, sometimes that it will spoil
what you're watching, like the real will come on, come
in the subtitles before it's actually spoken. Yeah, Like when
I was watching Old Yeller, I saw bang in brackets

(16:05):
before they shot the dog. I like, I was like,
fuck a double way. I mean, you know, it will
also spoil comedy too, like in all yeah, like a
joke real quick where it's like, but you'll start laughing
before you know. If it's a really good show and
then they do the joke, it's it's a very odd
way to digest something. But yeah, yeah, I was. I

(16:27):
recently ruined like a really funny punch line in the
other two for having the subtitles on, and I was like,
Noah probably would have hit harder I saw that performance
rather than like I was like reading a script. And yeah,
to that point, I definitely agree with comedies, the timing
of the subtitles does not honor the timing of the delivery.
So sometimes the jokes are they land a bit better

(16:50):
when you hear them delivered exactly. I I read them
out loud while I'm watching it. Too. You know, let
my wife know that I predicted it, you know, like
I knew that subtimes too. That's but it'll be a
dead scene, you know, like a like a dead scene
where it's not like super high impact and just reading

(17:12):
it out it's just the most annoying thing that you
can complai. Yeah, whispering it like really loud, No, I
never loved you, or mouthing it. Yeah, we're all mouthing
it right now, but we don't. Yeah, it's a podcast,
but they've been robbed of that. Yes, squid game. I've
I've watched now half of the third episode. This is

(17:34):
how I watched TV. And you know, with kids, as
you watch until they wake up or you know, you
pass out sitting up. But it's you really can't funk
with your phone all that much while you're watching a
show that does require subtitles to understand, Like, yeah, you
gotta respect the material. M that because that that second episode,

(17:56):
and I don't know if you don't. I'm not going
to try and spoil anything. But there was like a
moment where there's this other character and I was like
I looked down for a second and missed all the
context around this character. And I'm like, what the wait,
where did this guy come from? And I was like
I had to stop and go back like five minutes
to realize. So, yeah, that's a I've never told anyone.

(18:17):
At the first time I saw the Country for Old
Men in the theater, I just spaced out at the
end when he was doing that speech and then it
like ended, and everyone's like wow, And I'm like I
had no clue, like no idea four years. Like for
for maybe four or five years, everyone talk about how

(18:37):
great it was. I'm like, yeah, it was great, but
I didn't know why it was great. Oh the Tommy
Lee Jones speech. Yeah, the Tommy Lee Jones speech. Could
did not hear a word of it, Like was staring,
but did not hear a single word of it. What
is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Owning as much
underwear as possible? Like and because whenever I do laundry,

(19:02):
it is almost always because I run out of like
clean boxer. I don't know why I felt it need
to clarify what type of but you have boxer briefs
and um what brand? Lucky brand? Actually? Wow? Yeah, when
you find a brand that works, I think you know,
for me, I stick with it and hopefully i'll you know,
get a couple not to make this a lucky brand commercial?

(19:24):
What why are you so brand loyal? What happened? It's so,
I mean if we I have like openings a thick
actually the smallest fly opening out of all, it's almost jokey. Yeah,
I find it. Yeah, it's it's comforting in that way
in there. Yeah, to be honest, it is like I

(19:48):
have like a thicker ass, and they're good for a
thick ass. So yeah, about sometimes you'll go, I'm in
a similar situation. I'm just thick thighed, and sometimes my
the waste won't be the same as what the leg
holes need to be. And I'm like, you'll either be
like this fucking super loose waste but the leg holes

(20:08):
fit right, or you're wearing something that your waist fits right,
but you are like actively cutting off, like like your
femoral artery is being constricted by the underwear. So I
feel that. Okay, i'mnna looking into that. Yeah, it's good,
it's good. Try it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have four
pairs of box brief twins that are of all underwear,

(20:29):
just four pairs, So I four that are like recent
and you know, I really like those, and we'll do
laundry to get those. And then I have like twenty
pairs that are like disintegrating. Yeah, I don't like totally.
I'm I need to change those out. But is that okay?

(20:50):
Quick question for the this triumvirate we have here is
it is this dude is watching your father wear disintegrated
underwear because my dad one of my earliest memories been like,
I think my dad is is in a is in
a bad place because his underwear is disintegrating. And I
remember early on my mom was like, you need no
wonder where, but he was like, no, it's fine, it's fine,

(21:11):
it's fine. And I'm like looking like the second you
said that, I was having a moment where I looked
at a pair of under and I got no, I
I get a few more out of these. Yeah, And
I don't know why. But I don't know if that's
learned or not. Now it wasn't learned for me. My
dad was on top of this underwear game. And just
you know that a hepple fell real far from the tree. Yeah,

(21:34):
I think it is also the fact that no one
sees it. Really you know what I mean, where if
you had a tattered shirt, you people be like this
guy's like is yeah in a bad plating. They're not
doing well, you know, But like tattered underwear, it's like, well,
you know, it's still not necessarily uncomfortable, but you know,
recently I was like, you know what, you have worked

(21:54):
hard enough for a long enough that you don't need
to have like this b team of like rags, you
know what I mean, like in the thing. So but
but Jack, I can totally relate to what you're saying
as well. It's just a thing like I don't think
about I guess I just rocked the vapor wear sometimes,
you know, just falling apart, threadbear barely hanging onto the
waist band. And then sometimes I've like rage ripped them

(22:18):
up while they're on. Wow. Yeah, just like anger at
the like being in one of those like porcelain smashing rooms,
ripping off your own underwear, like like like I've done
that with a T shirt before. That is very satisfying.
It's very on a T shirt, but like wait, do
you have your pants on while you're shredding it off?

(22:39):
So you just like pull it's a trick. Oh yeah, Yeah, absolutely,
that's what makes you do on most of my first dates. Yeah,
that's the closer he called that. That's that's how he
closed the deal. He'd tar off his own underwear. And
I mean you knew very quickly that was someone to
be like so put off by it that it ended there.
Or they would lie about being put off and say

(23:01):
that they had an appointment that they forgot they had.
And those were the only two scenario. I have an appointment,
or someone's like, oh my god, no, what is that. Alright,
let's take a quick break and we'll be back to
talk about the news. And we're back and Mark Zuckerberg,

(23:30):
you know, there's been a lot of negative talk negative
Nellie's out here in the news talking talking trash about Facebook,
and Mark Zuckerberg apparently just found out about it, and
he's like, huh, how is this is not? Is not
the company that I know? So he has decided to
post on looks like on Facebook to defend the company.

(23:54):
And yeah, he just sounds like he is a dictator
who just can't just through like sheer Will is trying
to convince people that none, none of these problems exist.
It's very much a gaslight job, like on his own employees,

(24:15):
because these people they're doing the fucking workful like these aren't.
These are just like lemmings who are like, please give
us are like if you're working in these different departments,
like Francis Hoagan was, they know exactly what's going on.
Because she's saying, these people are like in a lot
of these other subgroups are getting upset that there isn't action.
So he's saying, look, his first part of the letter

(24:37):
is him talking about like, oh, that was a big
boner on Monday Hunt with what'sapp going down? Oh, and
then he's like, I'm sure many of you have found
their recent coverage hard to read because it just doesn't
reflect the company we know. And again he will not
reference Francis Hoagan or referred to a whistle blow or
anything of that nature. Quote. We care deeply about issues

(24:58):
like safety, will being and meant all health. It's difficult
to see coverage that misrepresents our work and our motives.
At the most basic level. I think most of us
just don't recognize the false picture of the company that
is being painted. I'm I'm sorry about that. He goes
on to say many of the claims don't make any sense.

(25:18):
If we wanted to ignore research, why would we create
an industry leading research program to understand these important issues
in the first place. If we didn't care about fighting
harmful content, then why would we employ so many more
people dedicated to this than any other company in our space,
even ones larger than us. I'm sorry, who is larger
than them? Social media space? Yeah? What Google? I guess

(25:41):
because of ads maybe if that's if they're looking as
an ad business, But even then, I don't that's a
weird claim even you know, even the bigger guys are
doing stuff not as good as us, Like you're the
fucking giant of the land. I love that he got
a brag in there too, you know, like whenever someone's
writing an apology and they find a way to brag
as well, we have industry leading research. Just yeah, you

(26:03):
don't have to put that in there. But it's funny
because there's allegations about how research has been wound down,
and Francis Howgan was even saying that, like they're like
in Amy Colobus are their book touching on this fact
that some of the data is not available to people
who are actually trying to research a lot of this ship,
so that's not really true Mark, And also like, yeah,

(26:24):
just having a research body doesn't mean you're doing it
to fucking like Exxon was researching global warming. That doesn't
They're not like why would we have industry leading research.
It's because they have to know what the funk their
product does in the real world, and they're just like, okay, fun,
don't talk about that ship. So based on like all
the reading about in like the internal dynamics of Facebook,

(26:48):
they do the research. They hire people like Halgan who
do the research and make these recommendations, and it's not
usually I don't think they fire them. They just ignore
the funk out of them and promote the people who
come up with ways to you know, increase engagement. Like
it's it's just a it's a very passive way of

(27:09):
just you know, dealing with a problem by not dealing
with it. Basically, speaking of research body, if I was
to describe Mark Zuckerberg's physique, I'd call it a research body,
like that's that's how he looks. His other defense is
also really like quote and if social media where it's
responsible for polarizing society, as some people claim, then why

(27:31):
are we seeing polarization increase in the US while it
stays flat or declines in many countries with just as
heavy use of social media around the world. Well maybe
because you've been here longest. Yeah, it's a matter of time,
because it's not like you haven't seen like other political
unrest be explode out of people using Facebook. So I

(27:52):
don't exactly know what his claim is because he's clearly
avoiding things like ethnic cleansing that would be organized via
face book, because that's not polarizing. It's just another very
selective bit of data he's using to defend himself when
I think it's just clear that he's desperate and this
is all looks just fucking terrible. Yeah, And I like,

(28:14):
I do think that is probably an effective line of argumentation,
because it's true that, like social media isn't the only
reason that polarization is increasing in the US, But I
don't know, it's just very it is an ingredient. And also,
like you said, there have been plenty of incidents where

(28:36):
it escalated wildly and incredibly dangerously in other in other countries. Yeah, exactly.
And you know, people are like, do you have you
looked in what's going on? In you know, me and
mar and like, okay, whatever, we'll just we'll just look
away from the glaring lights. And then this other one

(28:57):
is just fantastic. The argument we deliberately push content that
makes people angry for profit is deeply illogical. We make
money from ads, and advertisers consistently tell us they don't
want their ads next to harmful or angry content. And
I don't know any tech company that sets out to
build products that make people angry or depressed. The moral,

(29:19):
business and product incentives all point in the opposite direction. Okay,
that maybe, but I'm not sure. Again, this is another
thing where, of course advertisers aren't like, yeah, man, put
my ship next to like the most violent fucking video.
The whole thing is you go to Facebook because of clicks.
Any advertiser online goes to a media property for clicks

(29:41):
or engagement and like, and just as Francis Hogan said,
more engagement is the thing that you can hold up
in front of people who are trying to buy ads
and they go, oh fuck, yeah, so it's popping over there.
That's where I'm trying to put my advertiser where there's
a lot of activity. So even this one, it's so
deeply illogical that this would how could that occur? Yeah,

(30:05):
it's easy to recategorize like things like that and be like, well,
that's not designed to make people angry. They're interested in
for this other reason, Like that's it's just such a
vague explanation for like that allows them to just sort
of recategorize things and let themselves off the hook. Yeah.
It's also a very inhuman response to a deeply human issue,

(30:29):
you know what I mean, where like these issues that
people like the collateral damage that social media does are
mental health. It's mental health. It's deeply human issues. And
when you respond to it in such an analytical, you know,
like computerized way, like completely Yeah, it just shows the
exact problem the situation, like, well, know that the money

(30:52):
comes in and that business is doing wean we're not
actively trying to do Yeah, maybe not deliberately, but it's
you're the way things are set up, that's where you're incentivized.
So what are you saying here? But the last paragraph
is like sounds like some evil villain that runs like
this dystopian society. Oh wait, that is just him, he says.

(31:14):
When I reflect on our work, I think about the
real impact we have in the world. The people who
can now stay in touch with their loved ones, create
opportunities to support themselves and find community. This is why
billions of people love our products. I'm proud of everything
we do to keep building the best social products in
the world, and grateful to all of you for the
work you do here every day. Yeah sure, Okay, Well,

(31:39):
you know, I'm really curious to see what his inner
thought processes around this, because I'm sure that Richard Blumenthal thing,
where's like yes ZARKI Zark Zark Muckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg needs
to get in here and explain a lot of these
things out loud and not just be like a senator.
That's highly illogical. Um to say that, I don't know

(32:00):
what that would look like, but it's it's hard to
I don't know how you dance around really direct questions
given Francis Hoggins testimony, and to just equate the fact
that they get money for ads and advertisers like keep
paying with they're not being a social problem is just

(32:20):
so like, you know, it's it's just the most base
level like market make good. Everything good gets market bucks,
and the thing that they the reason that they are
so dominant in advertising is the level of data that
they've collected about anyone. It has nothing to do with

(32:40):
like why people are on the site in the first place,
Like they have unprecedented amounts of information and like these
psychological profiles of people that are you know, things that
if you had told an advertiser about it twenty years ago,
they would have fucking shot in their pants, Like it's
the best thing that they could possibly imagine. And yeah,

(33:04):
the fact the fact that people are willing to pay
for that has nothing to do with like the the
idea that you're doing it for the right reason or
using it in a non evil way. Sorry for the
shot and the pants thing, it's just picturing Don Draper
just hearing about Facebook and you know what, Oh my god, Yeah,

(33:26):
truly a let's talk about um January six Commission or
the Congressional January six Committee, because there are some pretty
key players Dance Cavino, Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon, Cash Patel,
who are all Trumpers that have been subpoena to testify
in front of the Congressional January six Committee, and they're

(33:47):
they're just like kind of ignoring it. Yeah, like they say,
of like everyone except dance Govino they think has been served.
But apparently dance Govino is just acting like a regular
Prince Andrew in his attempts to duck process servers and
just going too like a hidi hole to be like,

(34:07):
I don't know anything about him, so you have to
serve someone else. But despite all of that happening, it
looks like even if they're served, their game plan is
just to fucking ignore the subpoenas because Trump told them
to and there's you know, the same thing blah blah
blah executive privilege. Do they have a plan? There's like
in this Guardian article, people like, it doesn't really seem

(34:28):
like there's a plan here, more so that they would
probably just try and run out the fucking clock and
hope the Republicans take the House back by the mid
terms and then what January six commission are we talking about? Yeah,
so a bit of a cynical play from them, but
I expect nothing less from people who are you know,

(34:49):
hell bent on just you know, overturning an election. But yeah,
you know, people in the committee though, have said from
the beginning, like this isn't gonna be the same as
like when Trump was in the White House, how we're
going to handle executive privilege. Sure, Mark Meadows and Scovino,
they definitely worked in the West Wing, so there is
an element there of executive privilege. But in terms of
like using that to like not comply with this subpoena

(35:12):
there they have been saying like we we will issue
criminal referrals like if we if if we're being ignored.
I hope that's what happens. Part of me, just looking
at the data set of the American legal system and
how powerful white men are able to get away with anything,
I'm a little bit worried that that might not happen.

(35:32):
But it also seems like, you know, many of the
people on the committee are really interested in at least
trying to find some semblance of accountability. But it's like
one of those things where you just kind of like,
wait and see. I guess yes, speaking of powerful white men,
I had a very scary situation recently where I saw
Steve Bannon wearing the same coat that I own, and

(35:56):
it was absolutely horrifying. Where I was really really excited
about by d coat and then saw Steve Bannon wearing
it was a barber coat wearing the same brand, and
I'm like, well, I don't know what the funk to
know what I think about anything anymore? To be true,
I don't know. I guess if I have the same
fashion sense is that pig, I should probably just let
someone else shop for me. You are wearing three three

(36:20):
colored shirts right now, on top of each other, the
only the middle collars popped the other or appropriately pressed down. Yeah,
he really loves that coat, huh. I feel like he
has on like five J Crew outfits at any given time,
just like on top of each other. Yeah. So I

(36:43):
guess it maybe looks more balling if you wear like
multiple pieces of clothing, like just so you know, like
you maybe you may have three hundred dollars or the
clothing on, but I have seven thousand dollars or the
clothing because I'm wearing fourteen shirts and thirteen pairs of pants. Yeah.
So he's actually a very slender man. We just couldn't
tell because of you never know, you've been wearing the

(37:05):
whole time, just big fear of his losing his clothes,
This big and greatest fear that in America, his greatest
fears are doing the right thing is number one, losing
and losing all my clothes just a serious interview, and like,
I mean, it's it's I know it may sound weird,

(37:26):
but if you've ever lost all your clothes, it's it's
a frightening prospect. And I just want allowed myself. I
just want allow that to happen to me. Steve, what happened?
How did you lose your clothes? It went to a wedding. Look,
they lost my baggage. I had to wear a suit
that was a little too baggy for me, and it
was just Ever since then, I vowed to always wear
on my clothes. People kept talking about the Emperor has

(37:50):
new Emperor's new clothes around like around the Trump administration.
He finally read it and was like, oh no, that
went the opposite direction. Just in case some of these
are invisible, I want to guarantee no one sees me naked.
Yeah about at fourteen cultures. All right, let's take another

(38:13):
quick break and we will be right back to talk.
Havanna syndrome. Havannah good time, and we're back and so
BuzzFeed released a de classified scientific review of the attacks

(38:38):
that have been described as Havannah syndrome. That the attacks
should be in quotes, because they found what we had
suspected what a lot of people have talked about, that
the noises that they were associating with the attacks that
first happened in Havannah were crickets and it was a
D classified like State Department studies. So it's not this

(39:00):
isn't like an outside researcher, this is like what they
have learned themselves. Now, around this time, the Biden administration
had started referring to Havana syndrome is unexplained health incidents,
which kind of suggested they were backing off of the
idea that they were deliberate attacks from you know, adversaries.

(39:22):
But because that became a story, they now have issued
a new report that seemed to back and like jump
back into the this is an attack camp because the
people who you know, are suffering the symptoms believe that
they were attacked and that they're very sensitive understandably about

(39:44):
because we're in their country attacking them, right exactly, So
you very much would be the fuck. Okay, I'm just
I'm just a nurse, that's all. I am, not a CIA.
But yeah, the Miami Harold Peace about like the new
this new direction quotes a and the this is a

(40:07):
trend senior administration official, but no name. We need to
believe our personnel who are coming forward, people are facing
real symptoms. We are very conscious that people are experiencing
something very real and it's having a real negative effect
on their health health and we're seeing better health outcomes
the sooner we can respond to that. So it's like
they're trying to treat it as though it's a real thing,

(40:29):
because it is, as we've talked about functional disorders, like
they're the real thing. That these people are experiencing real symptoms,
they're not just making them up, but that it is
probably a neurological and you know, a stress based thing.
That and that is the thing that explanation is very
offensive to anybody who is suffering from this. And so

(40:55):
that there's this new article from Jacobin that just kind
of puts this in the context of a bunch of
different stories over the course of like the last twenty
five years that have been kind of adopted and just
repeated by the mainstream media because they are you know,

(41:16):
they go in the direction of like helping America maintain
an aggressive foreign policy. So they start with a Havna
syndrome reporting and just like all the different headlines that
flatly state that Cuba attacked US diplomats, which you know
are generally CIA agents, and you know, pointing out that

(41:39):
any time somebody is quoted, it's always they're always quoted
on background, or they're quoted as like a unidentified administration official,
and they point out like this is this happened immediately
after Trump indicated that they were going his administration was
going to go like hard in the opposite direction of

(42:01):
the Obama administration, start being like really hostile towards Cuba.
And then this event happened, and they seized on it
and started ramping up their negative foreign policy. But they
kind of put it in the context of you know,
the New York Times, all these mainstream media outlets trusting

(42:21):
military officials on things like Russia Gate, which in addition
to being hostile towards Trump, was also allowed the military
to make Russia seem more dangerous. And you know, with
a lot of the Iran reporting towards the end of
the Trump administration, because they were trying to justify a

(42:43):
like this says Iran on it. I don't know if
what you want to do with that, maybe do a war.
I don't I don't know, I don't know. There's no
we don't have a pattern of doing that at all
in this country. Yeah, but it just reminds me of
like the you know, we talked about the news real
ying on police sources and especially like for the local news,

(43:03):
and like, you know, the guys with guns are the
sources that they need to satisfy like audience blood lust,
and like their willingness to chase that blood lust makes
it so that we live in a world that we
think is more dangerous and keeps people tuning in, and
it also just creates this sort of feedback loop where

(43:24):
you know, the version of like the world that exists
in the minds of the military and the police gets
like filtered back to us over and over again, and
it's just, you know, why, why is that, Like after
the most catastrophic like mistake in the you know, recent

(43:45):
history of America going to war and Iraq was like
turned out to be based on a complete lie, you'd
think that the mainstream media would have like altered their
approach a little bit and been a little bit more
willing to pump the brakes on ship like this, But
it just seems like that is as currently constituted, Like
unless something kind of dramatically changes, the mainstream media will

(44:10):
let the military feed them, you know, bullshit. I think
that the tolerance for bullshit stories from the Pentagon is
higher because they're all they all have a relationship with
each other. You know. It's like you have a homie
who may bend the truth from time to time. You're like, Okay,
all right, that wasn't the best thing, but we're still
good because I know you. And it's the same thing,

(44:31):
like you'll get burned by just straight up misinformation from
the Pentagon, and still it's like, no, it's all good,
like you don't worry about it, Like we gotta keep
this thing going. You know, General Electric and the Pentagon
do some good business together. And we're also NBC, so
you know, well let's let's you know, we're not gonna
make it too hot for anybody. Yeah, can I be
honest about this before we move on, just real quick.

(44:53):
I think this Havana syndrome is jamaking me crazy? Are
you you gotta have they had a tough time about
I'm having a tough time the vents and it's the
sword of God. I'm being serious. I know it's making
the problems, that's the problem. Oh man, Yeah, I mean

(45:19):
so many reporters like get into the game because they
would like want to be war correspondents, like they have
that like kind of you know, they grew up on
the idea of like going to Vietnam and being a
reporter on that or you know, and it just you know,
as Blake, I think you were suggesting as jamaking them crazy.

(45:39):
It is and that's exactly not even suggesting just what
I was pointed Lee saying, I think there's no room
for interpretation there. In college, I had a I took
a class called war reporting, and my professor was a
former like embedded journalist, and he would never he would
always just show us movies and we would never were

(45:59):
like it's like, why, like you have the most interesting
story in the world, why wouldn't you just teach us?
And then one day there was this growing class like
who just well, maybe like laid in a little too hard,
being like all you do is show us movies, Like
why don't you actually instruct us and tell us what
it was like being there? And a forty five minutes

(46:19):
story of one of the most emotionally traumatizing things I've
ever heard in my entire life. The one time he
ever told a story about his time and war, about
how his guide was like murdered right in front of him,
and then the whole class was like completely silent. Negoes
all right, I think we're done for the day, and
then he and we're like never asked him to talk
about it again. We just watched movies for the rest

(46:40):
of the semester because it was that. It's like, yeah,
that's why he doesn't talk about it, you know what
I mean. Anyway, this random side note, but seriously, that
that JA made me sane. That the joke doesn't work
when you change it. That JA made me sane. You
can workshop that one. Yeah, come back, that's the fun.
Well we came up with okay, yeah, yeah, that's fine.

(47:01):
I think it will stand. Just maybe it's give it
a few years. Yeah yeah, we'll just we'll come back.
Pittsford will do the the red Yeah, alright, let's talk
about the War on Christmas. That was the war that
he was embedded in. By the way he was embedded
in the War on Christmas, it's uh it's begun. Fauci

(47:24):
said in an interview that it's just too soon to
tell whether holiday gatherings will need to be restricted due
to the pandemic for a second year in a row,
which is here he goes alarm. It doesn't really say anything.
It's like a non answer that doesn't really offer any
specifics for what kind of restrictions they might put in place.

(47:48):
But right wing media, you know, I I guess the
fact that he was willing to answer a question like
enraged right wing media. The National Review wrote an article
calling him a grinch, and you know, their Fox and
Friends labeled Faucia grinch because they you know, that was
too good not to repurpose. October. It's October. They they're

(48:14):
talking Grinch and claimed that he was about to cancel
Christmas based on his statement that it's too soon to
tell that I it's a seems fully fabricated. But so
there are actually this year, like legitimate threats to the
Christmas traditions that they seem to hold so dear, such

(48:36):
as you know, supply chain problems that are going to
make it so that it's harder to order presents for people,
or you know, the due to uh, climate change, there
are fewer Christmas trees available, and you know, there's a
shortage of truck drivers because as their wages have declined

(48:59):
over the years, there's just been a problem with finding
enough people to do that job. As The New York
Times pointed out, it takes a peculiar, a peculiar form
of logic to cut pay steadily and then be shocked
that fewer people want to do the job. But that's
what happened in the truck driving industry. And also because
of you know, slowdowns in manufacturing, there has been a

(49:24):
slowdown in the production of fake Christmas trees. So these
are all things that the real spirit of Christmas, and
they don't they don't they're not interested in talking about
that ship though. I mean, I think for their sake,
like the Fox News that you probably don't want to

(49:45):
have all of your unlike most of your unvaccinated base
take airplanes to congregate because that you know, they're already
like getting freaked out, like by the demographics of how
like the pandemic is affecting things. So there's gonna be like, no, man,
get together. Folks don't worry about any kind of spiking cases,
just do your thing, y'all. I it's I don't know,

(50:09):
this is just it's watched. It's it's fun watching them
get so outraged. And I mean, so were there things
in place that like actually stopped people from congregating or
was it just like advice last year, like it's right, yeah, yeah,
it's just that I like they I'm so confused what

(50:31):
they like. At the height of the pandemic, they just
offered guidance. They're like, okay, big brother, nice try asshole.
Oh you said it's it's and advisable to gather with
elderly family and when there aren't vaccines, Okay, yeah, okay, yeah,

(50:52):
I don't know. It's yeah, they were just merely guidelines.
But I think most people because they were able to
look around in their communities or just the news and like, okay,
so this is real and there's the potential for untold
harm for people that I will I will heed these guidelines. Yeah,
I mean jm Our writer Jam McNabb was pointing out
that like this actually kind of obscures, how, you know,

(51:16):
focusing on the idea that he merely mentioned that he
might at one point consider giving some travel advisories around
Christmas like, so that caused him to backtrack and he
was Fauci was like, now you have misinterpreted me. I'll
be spending Christmas with my family, which is like, again,

(51:39):
way too soon to tell whether that's a good idea
or not. The c d C uploaded their holiday guidance
to their website, which was picked up by multiple news outlets,
but then they deleted it because they had actually put
up last year's holiday guidance instead of this year's and
they haven't figured out what their guidance is going to
be in twenty one. Fucking it's just a position for

(52:03):
them to be in where they're like, fuck, don't say
don't give them real advice or else they're gonna accuse
us of stuff. So let's water it the funk down. Yeah,
because the situation is just my uncle is a big
Fox newsperson, and uh I gave him. I put like
he's a bad guy, so I put call in his
stocking and then he pulled it out and he's like,

(52:24):
this is such a great gift. This is my favorite
fuel source. So don't give Fox News people calling their
stockings because they'll they'll completely misinterpret it as a gift.
Did he did he take a bite out of it too.
He's like, Oh, you don't think I will. You don't
think I will watch this? Yeah, for the course of
the next three days jokes on asshole. Yeah, oh god

(52:49):
god yeah. But I mean the big news story of
the day is really of yesterday. I guess that that
the zodiacler has finally been identified according to TMZ and
you know all the other main news sources, Fox News.
So a group of researchers, I did someone named Gary

(53:14):
Francis Post, who died in eighteen as the Zodiac killer.
The degree toward this got pick up would have suggested
it was like a law enforcement agency that had like
done some some sort of d n A linkage um.
But they so they're made This group has made up
of former investigators and journalists, so essentially volunteers acting in

(53:37):
no official capacity. They the case breakers, right, They're called
the case Breakers, and they one of their like key
theories is that Post also killed Sherry Joe Bates in
nineteen sixty six, whose death was followed by a Zodiac
like letter. And this is strange because the police were

(54:00):
into a Zodiac like letters. So it's not like nobody
entertained this idea that it was that was from the
Zodiac Killer and her murder was part of the Zodiac killings.
But they looked into it and the letter was revealed
to be a hoax and an actual cold case units
have already like investigated that that case and concluded that

(54:21):
the murder is not connected to the Zodiac case. So
they're just like putting out a theory that most people
believed to have been widely disproven and saying, well, here,
here's your evidence. And then there's also like the evidence
that they're pointing to. Our photos from posts dark room
actually matched scars on the police sketch of the Zodiac killer,

(54:45):
which it's just it's just creases in a forehead. Oh no,
oh no, come on, case breakers, Yeah, come with some
come on come. They also claim that they deciphered new
code and the Zodiac, like 's that could only be
cracked if you knew if you know Gary's full name.
But there they're not revealing that just yet. They want to.

(55:09):
They're being proprietary about their solution. The fucking cyber Ninja's
my pillow voting audit, Like, what the fund is it?
Oh we go, we got it. You can't show you.
We just can't show nobody right now, it's too explosive.
Tom Colbert, who is one of the main case Breakers
former job was working for a hard copy so I

(55:32):
mean he knows how to do a good tease hell people,
you know. But he was also a story broker, which
is somebody who like buys up compelling stories and like
sells them to people to make movies. He told the
story rights for Flyaway Home and The vale Um, So
so you know, like real hardcore grizzled crime solving ship

(55:56):
gum shoe sh yeah, and yeah. It just feels weird
that this is one that any news outlet, even if
it's just t d Z, has like seized on and
been like solved. I the reason I just started wheezing
and laughing as I'm falling along in your document that
you guys used, oh sorry to show behind the scenes

(56:16):
look at the show. This is all coming from the
top of my head. Blake. You're right, and I have
loose scraps I keep by my desk. Then this is
the document that I the one page document that I
made for the show and the case Breaker team had,
which I can't believe. I just said without laughing my
way through it. But at case Breaker team, Um, I'm like, oh,

(56:37):
it says eight following two followers on Twitter. You have
a screen grab of it, like this is probably taken
from a few weeks and now they have fourteen followers,
so yeah, we're in the same place. Yeah, it's trending.
It's trending. So so basically they're saying that the the
case Breakers, the the evidence that they're working with has
been debunked. So they're like, this is already built on

(57:00):
like a false premise because we're already using debunked like
you're trying to connect dots that really aren't there. Yeah,
I mean unless you like, look at look at the
those forehead wrinkles. Man, I'm just saying, like those are
pretty well. They better come with that info that they
say they they're ready to decipher all the letters because

(57:21):
we would have to know his full name and only
we do. I mean, okay, how many people did the
Zodiac Killer kill exactly? That's information that they have to
prepriet You have to ask them. They yeah, they're they're
holding back on they say, you'll never believe what we

(57:41):
found out about how many five claim he claimed to
have killed thirty seven five confirmed dead, but possibly twenty
to twenty eight. Okay, interesting, just another example of their
work on a famous story where people are you know,
very horny to identify historical figures. Colbert got interested in

(58:05):
the dB Cooper case. And yeah, so the dB Cooper
was a bank robber who hijacked a plane and then
jumped out of said plane after like you know, making
everybody turn around, I guess, or go into the cockpit. Anyways,
it's a people think that he probably didn't survive jumping

(58:28):
out of the plane, but you know, it's very mysterious.
They never found the body, and he thought he had
figured out that it was this guy, Robert rack Straw,
and so Colbert or Colbert approach. Rack Straw offered him
twenty dollars to participate, and when he refused, Colbert threatened
to have him hounded forever, and then he started catfishing

(58:51):
ra Straw, who then in turn reverse catfished Colbert. And yeah,
it just seems like real, real, top level you know,
mature mature and you know, top level investigative ship going on, right,
someone who's clearly not just trying to get the thing
over the line. By any means necessary, true dedication to

(59:13):
the truth, unflinching, you know, rather like fuck your life
up if you don't admit your dB Cooper right. So this, Yeah,

was salved was identified. Well, I'm glad to know that
all the people who are talking about it, and now
I can finally um, actually, every fucking tweet I see now. Yeah,

(59:37):
and you know j M, who is clearly into this,
into the story of the Zodiac Killer, is saying like
they're they could be right about who it is, but
publishing articles like definitively claiming the Zodiac case has come
to an end based on these people's work, it seems
a little premature. Like I've read the story the headlines then,

(59:57):

talking about the these case breakers, like they were a
known quantity that like I should be familiar with. And
the fact that they have fourteen followers fifteen now that
