Weekly Zeitgeist 262 (Best of 2/13/23-2/17/23)

our most requested return guest. Holy ship, she's back. It's Lazy Moda who Shag's Florida's You really reached back to the back of the MTB. Also love that you ended with And also, but don't forget that, like I'm her podcast father, it's right before all of that count her and it's made her come to an alley in Santa Monica and don't get all forget it. Also, rather we work, which is a scam, so oh my god. Yeah, the ultimate scam. Yeah, it's all a scam. It turns out,

I think that's what we've discovered. The whole fucking thing is a scam. It scams all the way down life lazy so good, to have you back. How have you been? Oh my goodness, I have been absolute trash. You know, every day scratching is surviving, trying to like do good habits. I recently realized something that took me probably too long, that you have to work out not just because you want to look cute in on Instagram, but because, like

you need the endorphins to regulate your mental health. And why do I feel horrible all the time and then start working out again? I was like, oh my brain, okay, cool, cool, cool cool. So yeah, yeah, even just like a walk like nature really be naturing. I went out into the nature this week. Have you ever been tree people in l A? Have I ever been a tree peeple place? I know what you're talking about, but it sounds like somewhere black people aren't welcome, so I've never been. It

does kind of give that. No, it's actually really cute and like hippiest. And people donate trees like I guess when they die or whatever, they donate like themselves to become trees, and when they die, I don't know if they're in the trees. And I was curious about that. No, one sounds like very morbid, you're like walking through a beautiful forest and you're like, that was a human at one time. That's that's Timmy over there. My blooding guts

nourished the roots of this tree. Honestly, I would go man like if that was the if that was the premise, I would go to that ship every day. I'm glad that you did the Black His three monthing, because my Black History Month hasn't been that great. I got a ticket, see yeah, from the police for speeding. Now did I deserve it? Listen? I was late. I'm four hundred years late because of the police. Hear me out, four hundred years late because of oppression. Okay, so I got a

speed I gotta do sixty six and thirty five. That's my business. We gotta we gotta, we gotta make up for lost time. That's why we gotta get there quicker exactly. He said, where were you going? I should have said to freedom and then maybe we got out of the ticket. I didn't think of any of this at the time. I was just hoping I ain't getting you know, you're not the consta. So I was just like, sorry, Mr sur please, I was bro back to blue. I'm gonna say I'm gonna say you didn't deserve it. I'm gonna

say you didn't deserve it. I didn't. I didn't deserve I didn't get Beyonce co and I don't deserve that. During Black History Month, I know there's some I know there's some white folks out there that got the codes for Beyonce that y'all didn't. Y'all didn't come up off the codes for your black brothers and sistance, and I see you. I just want you all to know that that would have been a light ship. I got the code last night. Though I'm in their MetLife Stadium and

good View nice. I'm like, I'm not gonna get Beyonce sweat on me, which is what I wanted. But but I am gonna see you know her pores so yo. When the ticket is so expensive, Lacy can't get Beyonce sweating on it because Lacey out here bawling out of control. Y'all that, yeah, I am poor. Stop that. Why could you say something so egregious? When they eat the rich, they're not coming from me with THEE I will be

eating with everybody else. I feel like the Beyonce tickets are the latest, like not since the like people were getting the shot, like and and people wanted the shot or like did you know like that everybody wanted the same shot and the like it's the great Beyonce tickets are the great equalizer where it's like every he wants these tickets and if you get it, you are just a better human being then I think the rest of us. So which which checks out? I mean, yeah, I don't.

I didn't have a code to come up off of. Unfortunately, Yeah, Jack, why don't you give us your code? Yeah we were talking about you. Yeah, yeah you can. You can tell I give off vibes like I have Beyonce code. You actually do you? Actually you get them? You dont get them? I heart codes. I didn't, Yeah I did. I do think I heart had like something that was allowing people to like get in line or something. But I don't think it was allowing people to get in a line

that led to getting Beyonce sweat on them. My thing is like I'm tired of the resellers, Like I'm a scammer. I love scam culture. However, like do the work, like Kim Kardashian said, like nobody wants to work these days, Like How are you just going to have a bot steal a bunch of tickets and then flip them online. Like, if you want to flip a ticket, you should have to go in person like they did in the olden days and scalp and have them inside of your jacket.

You gotta wear a trench coat. It's gotta be long, and you gotta have a massager jacket like hustle man, and you gotta, you know, show your wears out in the parking lot. Like, I don't like that you can just steal them on the internet and flip them on the internet. That there's no work involved in that. Yeah, just a bunch of like Stanford computer science grads are like controlling the all the tickets to all the shows in the history of Yeah, boo, I don't like it, Raphael.

We like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? So the last thing I was listening to another podcast, and I think New York we don't acknowledge that does exist. It doesn't exist anymore. It's gone. Actually, the last thing from my search was was ironically about being there. They're plot its way back to elevance. Yeah, with with that creepy chat GPT that those college estays. Yeah,

I was like down that rabbit hole. And it's scary because you know, we watched Google make smart people smarter and kind of ignorant people more ignorant, and now now we're gonna come upon a new society where they can't even accidentally come across the right information. It's just gonna the search engine is gonna tell them what the answer is in sentence form. But yeah, also maybe yeah, if you don't know how to use it, you might draw

the wrong conclusions. Yeah, it's got controlled by billiadaire monopolies and AI itself still racist. The feeling lucky button on Google was wordy like that's what they've decided to go with. Here a little nervous, I'm feeling lucky and I will got shut up. My favorite type of people just constantly feeling lucky regardless of you know, outward indications for results. And I just can't can't shut the funk up. So what would you learn? What would you have you? Did

you see any of the results? I think I saw some results where somebody was like, where is the avatar showing? And it wound up with them like down a very strange path. What I do is I don't have the that's like private access to test it out right now, but I test out other aies. I work with a group called Athena Coalition, and we oppose Amazon, and they are authors of their own AI stuff and and things that hunt that they sell to like governments to oppress

their people. And it's really scary what's out there. Like if you ask your basic questions a lot of these aies, you could see what they call guardrails, but really they actually like you could see its censoring results. You could see it, you know, saying like no, you don't. Like if you ask about armed revolution, you'll see them always responding, you know, like yes, the most successful ways historically to change oppressive systems have been violent revolutions. But however, however,

not for you anymore. No no, no, no, no, no no no. Here's one very carefully selected sentence from the I have a dream speech so that I just love AI is like even the uncensored version of it. It's just like this whole thing is like educated on number one, the totality of the Internet taken credulously, and number two like people who love AI, like that's who interacts with it most and guess what, people who love AI are

fucking creeps. So like like on the whole any listeners who love it but you don't, and it's just like, yeah, of course it's a fucking creep. It'll just be what whatever. Andrew Yang would reply with, Yeah, God, that fucker. He's a ruining being Andrew and about my age and Chinese he fucked a wormand but on the other hand, the same hand. But I'll just pretend like it's another hand I forgot. Hey, what if some of you think is over in? Thank you for asking Jack? Hey, Nick, what's

something you think is overrated? Now this question is out of left field, but I think I have an answer. Chubby Checker. Oh Jumy Checker is overrated. Take that. I think it's correct. Okay, now it might not be the most timely take, but well I just heard of him. Where these damn kids tell you about Chuffy Checker? Man, shut the funk up forever. We need to talk about Chubby Checker. If you see he's probably ninety, but if you see him, he has an impeccable hairline and hair

does he is here, He's still alive. A team the same team that that did makeup in Hair on the Whale. So Chuffy Checker, we all love him. He's the twist guy. He brought a picture of him in two thousand five. Amazing, he looks amazing. Was he like twelve when he was famous, because he's only eighty one now? Uh no, Okay, I don't know, but I feel like he was maybe a person who like looked like looked older when he was younger because he was born in forty one. Wasn't he

famous in like the early sixties? So in yeah, nineteen sixties when his big song came out, so he was nineteen. He looked like a middle aged I guess everyone looked like a middle aged person back then. Style. Also, he's probably you know, the heft helps and he's very tall. It's crazy that he's still chubby. Yeah, well you can't lose your I mean, you know, at this point, if he comes out skinny, who's going to be No one wants with skinny Checkers. Yeah, skinny Chess, no thing. So okay,

everybody thinks they love the Twist. It's a dance that you know, you anyone can do because they're literally moving right to left. Yeah, almost not a dance. So in nineteen six for Ubby Checker at nineteen releases Let's do the Twist and it's number one hit. It does great. He's a genius. So then in nineteen sixty one, the label comes back and they say, Chubby, you did it, and you gotta do it again? Okay, what you gotta give us something else? Yeah? So then Chubby's like, you

know what, guys, I'm not full of ideas. I'm gonna think of another dance. So in nineteen sixty one he's eventually it's like I got it, I figured it out. He releases Let's Twist Again like we did last Summer, which incredible move to reference a previous song in a song and the song that has staying like people still play Twist Again like I've heard that song all these years later. Another hit. So he's a genius. Okay. So then sixty sixty one, those are his years. Nineteen sixty two,

label comes back, they say, Chubby, you did it. Twist man. You know, he's got a new nickname at this point, and they're like, you're the twist guy, and he's like, I know him, the Twist guy. Let's fucking hit it ever get in the basement because the twister is coming. That's what I would have said to him coming to my office executive back then. Yes, nineteen sixty two, he thinks, uh, let's let's uh, let's do it. He releases Twisting USA, That's right, which I assume he thought there was gonna

be a twisting for every country. But this song was not hit, you know, And so I think at that point he starts to lose it a little bit, and a couple of months later he comes out with Slow Twisting and Paloma Twist, which are sexy twist songs because the twist is not sexy, you're you're bound to knee your partner in the growing. Yeah, so he got some slow versions, not hits, and then let's say summer of nineteen sixty two, he's at the end of his rope

and he's lost his mind. He doesn't even know why he got into the twist game, and he releases teach Me to Twist, which you know he's lost his mind. We're like, traffic, you taught the twist, I forgot your twist. It's like, yeah, you know, the way to really like learn something is by teaching it. So maybe he's just like, you guys have clearly lost your love and passion for the twist. How about this, I'm gonna play fucking mind game with you. If you teach me to twist? What if?

What if we tried that? But just yeah, sheer desperation, like a panic idea, Like it's like a like attempt to get you know, like people talking, you know, it's just to get some engagement. Like sounds like a degenerative neurological disorder where he slowly like, teach me to twist, and then it's just like where are car keys? And it just keeps going down. So not a hit, folks. So then that same year, in nineteen sixty two, he pivots and he thinks, maybe I'm just like I think

he was twisting. Yes, yeah he uh. He says, maybe I'm the dance guy for dances that aren't really dances, and he releases Limbo Rock. Oh, but I'll tell you what. The song was a fucking hit, Yeah, a huge hit. He's back. So the nineteen sixty three you gotta do it again? He comes back with let's limbo some more. Yeah, yes, this is this psychopath journey. I mean he's only twenty imagine he's a story. So then not a hit, and then he's like, you know, he he's starting to rethink everything,

and he's like, maybe I am the twist guy. And then also in nineteen sixty three, he releases Twisted Up back to Twisted. Not a hit, nothing, he he doesn't release anything. He goes insane. He gets an airbnb in Big Bear, he takes a gun and a dog, and he waits a year just thinking there's got to be something else. And then in nineteen sixty five, bam, he's back with Let's do the Freddy Freddy. Yeah, that's a left turn you didn't expect. Where did that song come from?

His name's Chubby Well. Freddie and the Dreamers released the song that same year, and he was just listening to the radio and he was like, they're doing a dance song. Chubby the dance guy. He did he steal their dance? He stole it. Also, the dance is basically lifting your arms above your head and sticking out one leg. It's the Daniel song. Okay, that's all. It's a dumb fucking day. Why couldn't he be like, put your arms to the side. It's the Chubby just name anyway, not a hit. He's gone,

He's done. That's it. That's the Chubby Checker everybody loves so much. You're right. He He apparently appeared in a film called Don't Knock the Twist in No Mouth about the Twist, bro imagine if he had had like a TikTok. It comes out every week with like why are people ruining my twist? A New York Times op ed in defense of the Twist. Yeah, wow, dude, that is uh, he's your right journey. So I don't know if he's over it. I don't know if that's what I took

from that, But wow, what a what a run? What does something you think is underrated? What do I think is underrated? I okay, So I grew up in the suburbs and there's like this trend all over social media to like act like eating it whatever. Alive Garden or something is like the lamest ship ever. Again, this is like the opposite of what I just said, but flip because I'm like, stop acting like having a decent meal for a reasonable price. It's fucking terrible. Like you go

to these places Alive Garden, outback steak house, wherever. There's always families in there. People are just spending time with each other, just having meals, laughter, you know whatever, love and I really I don't like this like trend on social media there, but it's like, ill you ate that suking olive garden. Oh my god, it's sucking nasty, bitch.

There's a reason they're popular and that they're everywhere. The the girls are going to Rowan and being like this is my six hundred dollar ice cream Sunday exact same people. When people are like it's so bleak in there, it's like you're just you're scared of poor people. You you find like the idea of not having money gross, and that's what you're saying that what there are people in there who don't have as much money as you maybe and go, yeah, not everybody's gonna go to some fucking exactly.

Nobody's gonna go to fucking Jose Andrea's restaurants every fucking chance they get. That's and that's fine. That's like you shouldn't look down on people because they that's where that's where the treat meal is for them. There. You know, there's Sunday after church meal or whatever the funk, Like, there is nothing wrong with people fucking spending a little bit of money because that's all they have, or even

if that's what they want to eat. You know, even if you do have money, that's where you want to go. Fucking whatever, man, I don't So have you all ever been teenagers? That was the time many like our whatever. Before this, it felt like kings were really falling. We could smoke in a restaurant forget about it. Yes, was never enough, nobody. It was like what the fun mathematics with with a shared restaurant bill when you're in high school. It has never once been enough? Never, never that. But

that's what I'm saying. It's like that, oh that you know what, you know what it is. Um. I think at the end of the day, and I think this is true for my stand up and I think this is true just for how I live my life. I'm really tired of people being mad about the wrong ship. It's very exhausting that people spend so much energy on the wrong ship. Like you're really mad about Valentine's Day, bro,

get a life. You're mad about families going to hometown buffet or whatever the funk, Like, dude, let people just have their little pieces of enjoyment. However they can get it. Like the world is hard enough, like the news is sad enough, and like that's the ship that you put your energy into. You're mad about the wrong ship. You've got to be mad about the right ship. You've got to learn how to like channel your anger, your energy,

your negativity into the right places. Get out there, invote people. You Yeah, we used to. We used to hit there's an Applebee's in a strip mall and Lexman, Kentucky with a cigarette machine in the back, and that was you know what. And that's actually that's the other thing too, is that I think that especially left wing liberals and ship there, they concentrate on like shipping on ship they shouldn't be shipping on, and it turns people off, you know.

And I think that's that's part of the problem that um, I think a lot of liberal democratic people they focus too much energy on the stupidest ship. And it's like, bro, you can't get people on our side if you're going to shoot on like the things that they just simply enjoy on a weekly basis or whatever, the fun like sex scenes in movies. Yeah, yeah, that's puritanctical movement of being like no more sex scenes ever, like children white.

Yeah it's weird. Yeah yeah. I feel like the liberal urge to make fun of Nascar is not is not good. It's not for the big D Democrat Party. It's also just like it's a thing. Yeah, people just enjoy their ship, Like, let people enjoy whatever it is. They're like little pastime. Ship isn't actually affecting you? Like, why the funk are you mad about it? You know? Learn how to drive? How about that guy has learned how to be able to use your turning signal when you're supposed to about that,

Focus energy on that. Learn how to merge your car? Bro. The driving in l A is don't even get don't get me started. Don't even get me started, one of my favorite in L sketches of all character. So good. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about UFOs M. And we're back, And Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating Trump's attempts to overthrow the government, I guess, and experts are calling him a potential key witness in the case.

And he I feel like when I any any time I imagine him, I just go back to that moment where he is between Trump and Nancy Pelosi and just trying to like jamming his eyes closed, trying to teleport himself out of the moment, just being my God, don't just let me let this be over. I feel like that's what where he is all the time. He's just constantly reciting the Lord's Prayer, right, Yeah, that that's the

face that he gives. Yeah. I mean, he's trying to run for president for that and would need the support of a demographic that was openly trying to kill him very recently. And so Pences team have been talking with the DJ about holding a voluntary interview, but those talks apparently broke down, hence the subpoena. And I just I feel like he probably knows some ship is trying to hide that ship because he doesn't want to be revealed as the person who brought down Trump because Trump supporters

like fairly recently tried to murder him in public. Yes, And and he's like kind of like how does he campaign? And he's like, look, if I don't keep my promises, my neck is real snapp herbal it is like you could totally hang me, you know, there's a million ways you could kill me, but until then vote for me, Like that's gonna be his bid. I think there's also something going on like during Trump's administration there, he Pence was always the billionaire pick. He was always like the

Koch Brothers boy. He was always like he always heard behind the scenes, like he was ready to step in and like he was meeting with all the donors and he was. And I think, like that's what's going on here, is that he is. I'm sure it's going to switch if it hasn't already to de Santis. But there's just something about the billionaire class that wants Mike Pence to be the president because he's so spineless, like almost a medical scientific miracle, how spineless he is. And just here

an earthworm in a suit. It's just worming around. Yeah, And so I think I think that that's why we keep hearing about him and why he thinks I don't know if he even believes really deep down that he could win, but there's a lot of money riding on it. It's just so funny, the cowardice, right, like you see at least de Santis, who I think will absolutely just implode going up against Trump because he can't. He won't.

Everyone's still scared to go against Trump. But de Santis is just like he's like a little leaf that's just in a wind and he's like, oh please, little gust, like take me to where I need to go. Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Like he's just waiting for like the cues on how to play every single you know thing to his advantage or not. But but until then, he's not gonna like take any kind of stand. So he won't condemn Donald Trump. He won't

say Donald Trump legitimate legitimately lost the election. He won't. He will not come out on any side of anything. He just wants the Lord as a shepherd to guide him into the White House. And that's not gonna fly. It's not gonna happen like that. And so, I mean, one thing I think about all these stupid classified documents is like they're way too any classified documents generally like work over classifying everything. That doesn't mean yeah, throw it

to the fucking blogs that everyone should watch and read everything. No, no, no, it just means like clearly, you know how many more people have classified documents in their homes right now, in their third homes as fucking congress people, a lot of them. So, you know, I've been reading about, you know, David Dan of The American Prospect wrote this whole thing about like, actually,

we've been over classifying things for decades. So it's just a it's an endless tit for tat story, But it is interesting in terms of maybe he does have stuff that's like, remember the alternate slate of electors that was supposed to be handed to him the day he was going to confirm the election results. Does he have those? Where are they? Was there an alternate plan? Who's the who's the Trump's lawyer? I'm blanking on his name who

basically came up with the alternate slate of electors? Like, you know, there was a lot of like, this is our secret plan, dot Zer, We've we've sprayed it with per few. It's cool water, smells great, and we're gonna win, you know, like you you know, there's some ship that probably should get like glued back together at this point from you know, from the shredder that it went through, right m So, the the FBI began a consensual search

of his house. But that so he's trying to portray it as him him being more like Biden, where he's just like, yeah, sure, let him in. But there was apparently rising tension between Pence and the DJ, specifically over the discussion about searching his house. Pence's team even accused the Justice Department of leaking details of appending search to

the press in order to pressure him into cooperating. But I do go back to I don't think anyone actually gives a ship about classified documents in anyone's house other than Trump's. Trump, it makes sense that it would be a problem because it like you could actually see him trying to trade state secrets for like preferential text treatment in Dubai or something like that. You know, like he he has that vibe, and like, I don't. I don't think anyone thinks Pence or Biden or any of these

people is so. But it's just this logic trap that the mainstream media has fallen into that they're like, well, if we treated it seriously with Trump, you must treat it seriously with them, And it's like, oh god, that's that's absolutely bull Like nobody is worried that Pence is like engaging in like spycraft. Trump already showed the information. We know that, Like you know, he's already like made

good on that if the deal's done. And but yeah, you got MPR being like, um, is it fair that the former vice president Biden did keep the just like shut the funk up? We know because Trump? We we know and like I hate to say this, like, oh, I don't care because it's my boy, but Biden is not my boy? Why does not anybody's boy? Sucks and sucks.

I'm not worried about either of them having classed by documents. Yeah, oh god, but I just have to say one of the lawyers who talked about the alternate state of electors, if you guys forgot his name, Kenneth Cheesebro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a rough one, bro. What he walks into a law firm, They're like, it's like when someone named like Luke checks into a basketball game and everyone's like, uh, cheese,

what's that from? I forget? Can I just say the rating like pens The reason Pence isn't what it's home rated is because you know, they don't. He doesn't want anyone to find out his little SNM dungeon with like weird pictures of like Mary Magdalene looking real fly you know, yeah, I was goa. He definitely strikes me as a dude that would have a basement full of like kneelers with nails in them, you know what I mean? Just like, alright, dude, nail is a design feature, not a bug. Yes, one

thousand percent. Where he's like, I need to kneel and look at her brain. Oh god, yeah, it's some opus day weird aship m and a little bit of p yeah exactly, and a place to bleach your eyebrows. Yeah yeah, No, no one's asking what's in the eyebrow bleach? Alright, let's talk about this list. We talked about it last week. It's just a fun list to return to. These are new bits of social etiquette that New York Magazine is suggesting. Is it perfect? No? Is it elitist? Well I'll tell

you that. The very first rule is you don't have to read everyone's book. We can't be expected to spend all our time at tablaising content by friends or friends of friends, like, so a way to start with one everyone can relate to. You know, all of my friends have books everyone it's just a written a memoir and I had just gotten around Oh my god. That's but they're a there's also good stuff, Like there's good stuff in there, like they're there are hundreds of these and

that there's some good stuff. That we talked last week about one that was never tell anyone who you think they look like? That weird. It's just weird. It's yeah, it's both weird. It's bad for anyone who's doing the you know who you look like that you're about to say something that is gonna fuck you, like, funk that person up or whatever. But it's so it's so revealing that it's always interesting, Like I do want to know

what they're gonna say. I'm not gonna like it, but I desperately want to know what the funk they're gonna say. That's why I always like, as someone who's mixed, like it's so funny because ethnicity really is in the eye of the beholder. People won't tag you be like is this your doppelganger? You're like, what are you? What world? But that being said Jack you dook, you do look

like El Chapo's son. Yeah, I'm this came up. I did not talk about that, but yeah, you pointed out on Twitter that I do look a little like El Chappo son, who I was like, Yeah, I will take that. He is hot and very young guy. Yeah, he's hot, dangerous, young, great rows. I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to do it Google. I've never seen it. Looks like Google that, but it's just funny. Like as a fat person, I get.

I mean, I've gotten Chrissie Mets from This is Us like twice since I've lived in natural and I could not look anything less like her other than we're both fat women. Like where I'm like, oh my god, what's anything like her? Nothing? Like not a stip. Like, we don't dress similarly. Our styles are not the same. We don't have the same hair color, we don't have the same eye color. The only thing we have is big round bodies with big round heads. Like that's literally it

her makeups fly. I feel like, like that's it. Just don't look alike, right, and like what Yeah, but people, people are really reflective reflectively go to that a lot. I talked about how I got Walton Goggins one time and it ruined my days. I don't think that is very funny. Actor from Vice Vice Principles And did you just look him up? Yeah, Waldon Goggins is early man like look at his mom and it's like he's got chro magnum. Yeah, here's some news. So that those are

the ones we talked about last week. Some some new new rules, because that's what they would have called it if Bill Maher had won to back up the phone? What's the uh? I said it? Were you going to break into one? Don't pick up the phone? So one is don't post our ip s for celebrities unless David Crosby was your actual uncle refrain. I think this is true if you're just posting a picture and being like

ah man r I p that said. I love a celebrity story like and I feel like you get true and like wild stories about celebrities like behaving badly when they die or behaving like awesomely when they die. So I will allow a personal anecdote about said celebrity when the celebrity does personally what are you guys this thought?

I'm with you on that. I think if you have a personal connection of some sort and it's to a degree that you feel compelled to do that, you know, and you've got, like you said, you've got some sort of anecdote or some sort of you know, relevance or an interesting sort of take. I think that that's mine. I do think it's weird when people post videos im like crying or like, you know what I mean, where they're like in tears and it's like you've never met

that person. You don't know them, they don't know you. Like you've got to calm down, you know what I mean, just handle that, processing whatever you need to do. But I don't want to involve the rest of us. But it's it's also be held in. You should are not held in. You should cry and do whatever you need to do, but it's you should also be embarrassed by

that and not posted on main one thousand percent. I think it's weird to cry when some celebrity dies generally, but then I have to maybe admit something that's gonna get me a lot of hate. I think the closest I was to like crying when a celebrity died, call him a celebrity, call him a century socialist. When Hugo Chaves died, it sucked me up, you know, as a socialist as someone who's you know, believes in the Latin American left. Yes, he wasn't perfect, but reduced poverty by

in that country extreme poverty. It sucked me up that he died Slash was given cancer by the CIA. Ops. Um No. But here's the thing. Here's what I don't like about posting our I p s of celebrities. It always makes me feel guilty that I didn't like that celebrity harder, so I would retroactively try to be cool and be like totally I knew Blankety Black, you know what I mean, Like I'm not just googling them now

and ordering their books. Yeah, another elitist one. You and Bobby de Niro may go way back, but to everyone else, he's Robert. This is true. This always makes me hate the celebrity a little bit, But it's also like a fun way, Like I think celebrities should keep doing it because it reminds us that they are not like us and they're trash. But it like, who is the intended audience of this article? Like that that was like this one?

Is this just for like James Marsden, like the it's a very random thing, like this person must have been like around some real d bags that are just like referring to like are they just like randomly referring to Bobby, Oh no, Bobby, who oh DeNiro you know Bobby, Like how is this? How often is this happening? That this made this article the time editors and they assumed to

the rest of us. I guess he was like one dinner that he felt on the out of and he was like, you know what rules Like that's what It also feels kind of like a troll. Like I've read all of these. I feel like some of them are pretty satirical. Like one of them is like, don't wake up your partner ever. Ever, if you think there's an intruder,

work it out, deal with it. It's like, yeah, which is true because I always think there's an intruder and there definitely is not, but maybe there is, and I have woken my partner, But like, oh, I'm not supposed to use partner unless quote, you want to get something out of it, according to him, which is like straight people can't use partner unless it's like there's an angle, to which I'm like, that's terrible. That's that's super terrible.

Like I take such umbrage with that because like I'm a forty five year old woman, I don't have a boyfriend one of my sixteen Like that's just ridiculous, like that is. And also like as women, I think in general, women are more comfortable using the word boyfriend, Like whether we're two or one, we will use that because it's like we want to say we have one. But like men have been avoiding the word girlfriend forever, like there's nothing like my friend, like and then as they get older,

it just gets worse. Like some fifty year old man's like, oh, this is my lady friend, where it's like, yeah, I get it, broke, you still fuck? Like you know, why do you? Partners? Partner is the best word. That's who that person is. It is your partner in life. Like, but I've also been on the other side web said partner, people like oh what does she do? And I'm like, uh,

excuse me, how do you not know that? What? Like just to assume that I am gay because I use that, you know, not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's like it's just it's so silly to me, like what an antiquated version, Like we're still hung up on this if you're not married, that like you can't use long enough. It's not long enough. It's it should be normalized and without and it can be open whether you know that person same sex or not. It should justly.

And also if there's an intruder in my house, I'm not gonna have to wake up because he's gonna be awakened. That person is gonna have a fucking gun in their face, So I don't like not in my house. I'm sorry. Like I've got cameras, I got things for a reason. And if I get up first, they're gonna have two guns in their face like that, it's gonna be both of us. But if they track mud in the house, you will pop that rug right in the washer, and

it's gotta be fine. That's what I'm saying. Shoot someone, you know what I mean, get rid of that body, dig a hole. I'll let that rug. It's just because you anything, because you wanna you know, it's a it's a hassle to bring the police in and stuff, and you're self sufficient exac all right. One that I wanna induct into the like these need to be absolute rules for everyone. The other two where the celebrity lookalikes. And also white people only get to pronounce fifty cent like

I just did. They don't get to do that is the other. Yeah, I think those are two rules that need to be everybody needs to agree on that. I think this one, why are we still talking about? Like why is that? Like? Who who are these these allegiance of people that are still I say, never stop talking about fifty cent? What about flow right up? How? How? How can how how do we treat that one? I think just insist on pronouncing it Florida and uh, just

own just steer into the whiteness and irrelevance. Florida Florida one was a wonderful rapper with a terrible hairline. That's right for group dinners. This, this isn't even funny. This is just one that I want to add to the you know, the ten commandments for group dinners with friends, always split the bill evenly. But if you're drinking and I'm not offered to pay the entire tip, yes, yes, perfect, yes, consense the itemizing of it and like being like let

me see here just just leads to chaos. And then yes, people who don't drink, it's it's not fun to really not fun to pay for other people's alcohol. Yeah, I think that's not great. It's not the end of the world. But like it's it's a very courteous thing to do, to be like, hey, since you didn't drink, you I'll pay for the tip anyway. But but you have but you can't, like you have to offer if you're the one who didn't drink, how do you ride that? Very difficult.

Also another one, I just want to induct. Saw someone shoplifting? No you didn't agree with that, Yeah, shut the fun quite doc, Karen, anything in general that is a crime against a piece of property. Shut the funk up. Okay, that's not that's not a person, So you can really also saw someone digging in the trash, Just let it go.

Let you in your crap. It's fine, it's fine, it's trash, you put it there, unless they're like clearly a ci age, in which case you might want to just introduce your yes, thank you, c All right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk about Titanic, and we're back. And did you guys, did you guys catch the the Jesus themed ads? Yes? And I was very confused and scared. I was very I was I was watching. I went to the Super Bowl and watched it at the Soho

House last night. Okay, okay, oh you know you know, we was ready and there was a lot of black folks in there, and we was watching this ship, you know, in the big as rooms, and and when it was all these images of just angry people, it was like,

what the fuck is it? Because we weren't really watching the commercials, but like that one like made everybody like stop and turn and started watching it because it was just a bunch of images of people being angry and people pointing at each other or kids standing on each other to pe these weird fucking images. And then it would just be like Jesus, Yes, I bought a space

for the super Bowl, and why was expensive? You know, much work of Jesus you could have done with the payment of Super Bowl ads for Jesus, like I haven't. I think we did enough, you know, colonizing and crusading for people to know about Jesus. Okay, y'all, y'all n the guys of Jesus. And while y'all was sealing stuff for poor people, we know about him. When the Beatles

were the most famous people in the world. They said they were as famous as Jesus, and everyone was so furious that they like canceled the Beatles for for saying that. So they're pretty they're pretty well known. Like I feel like, yeah, the Super Bowl commercial lunch your point lazy. They've probably

cost around twenty million dollars people, insane? So how many people have given their money to this organization under the guys of like the Lanthropy and Christ and all the things that people who love Jesus the most never do because everybody who really bangs with Jesus super super hard and likes to throw him in other people's faces, they don't ever do anything that he said like charity, you know, like helping one another, love in that neighbor, they harm

that neighbor. Like they're like, it's so confusing to me, but also it's disgusting to me, Like we really need to like bullied him. I'm a sper bullied him right after this because they could have done so much good with that money and instead they decided to flex with a Super Bowl at Like it's like oh Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart and now Jeus us. I don't even I really don't even get it, Like what us is there in his name? There's no eyes Jesus? But there

isn't that's true, doesn't you though? You on ats like at least make that ship funny man, Like you know, like if it would have been a funny Jesus commercial party would went to church next Sunday, you know, a churchy like he on the cross and he's like, yeah, y'all act right for me. Look what I did, Look what I did. Have you ever had you stub your toe and cry? I had nails and my feet, people and the sextiest body up here, y'all shredded. So the ads are all being run by the Signatory, which sounds

like some ship a villain would say. Like it sounds like how a villain would call Signatory Welcome Tony. It's a Christian foundation that raises money for causes that they claim inspire and facilitate revolutionary biblical generosity. That's a that's a freaking Ponzi scate money laundering. That's a bully. So you're telling me your whole y'all just raise awarenesssist. They're like, ya, we got thirty million awareness asists tonight. What is that doing?

The awareness is, says, meter is off the off the church job. So, according to Fox News, AOC was roasted by conservatives for criticizing the campaign after she tweeted something tells me Jesus would not spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benid and people were like, what, These heads are part of an effort to spread the message of Jesus too. Lgbt Q plus people and other communities that have like felt unwelcome by Christianity.

So what are you talking about? Except it turns out the Signatory also known as Servant Foundation, has reportedly donated more than fifty million dollars to the Alliance Defending Freedom, which you know by that title is it can't be Good designated as an anti lgbt Q plus hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. So so what do they need fifty million dollars for? So they can go to Joan's fab Risks or hobby Lobby because that's the

real oppressor. They can go to hobby Lobby and get get cardboard car stock so that they can go harass the gays that brunch because that's what they do, like like and also you have to be so bored and so sad in your life to be like, where are the gays having brunch? Gonna get on Yale and then and then you'll have a poster sign make it party, and then y'all go outside of the brunch. Yeah, we're meeting at noon. That's when they like to get there

and just stand outside and be like, we don't like you. What, especially because bruch be good, like sit down to eat a waffle. You mean to tell me you holding this sign is better than you eating some French toast with some maple up and some mimosas. Come on, now, they're just out there with like dry cereal and it's good too. That's why they're mad. That's why they're mad. They got brand flakes and ship what people? Why? Why everybody? Why the gaze is eating like sucking, they're poached eggs and

they are mad about it and they are mad. I'm sad. I'm about to get involved in head groups because it's such a great scam, like right, like I'm just making a company call for hate and just ask haters to give me money. I'm not gonna tell them what I'm doing with it. But I'm like, no, don't worry'all gonna we're gonna get the hate up. Just do the opposite of this, Yeah, just do an openly hateful group and then secretly spend the money on good things, because that's

what they're doing. But they're not spending on good things. There's just pocketing it. It's all of fronts by good things. I mean brunch, spending it on good things like brunch. You're gonna see me at the brunch mother. They're writing being gay as I'm like, dam, I'm like, I'm getting

on the inside. Don't put my cover. They also helped draft the Mississippi abortion law at the heart of the Supreme Court decision last year allowing to spand the procedure currently leading a new Supreme Court case arguing that businesses should be able to discriminate against lgbt Q plus customers. So it's the opposite of all the things that they're claiming. There's they're doing the work of trying to address. Yeah,

they're trying to address the pr front. You know, like it would be like the what whatever this train company's name is, like next year, just like running an ad about how they're all about the people and fuck chemicals or something, you know, And honestly, tie commercials look more like ads for Jesus than those Jesus adds, dude, like time commercials or commercials for like drugs, like medications, where they're like biking and then they're in a tub and

then like outside blowing one of those little flowers that like all the little seeds go around daylines like those look like commercials for Jesus, like oh, we're helping, we're out, we're living. But they just showed us like a bunch of people yelling and it was in black and white, and it was kind of scary, and it was like, why is this like Old Testament? Like why are you

trying to terrify us? During the single bul they I'm telling you, they literally had a picture on one because they ran like four commercials last night or some ship. They had a picture that showed a little boy on his fours, on his hands and knees with another kids standing on him pissing in the urinal, and I was that was one of the pictures, and I was like, what the funk is this commercial? These are the weird that's the weirdest. You know what that makes me think

of the love of Jesus. Yeah, that's what Jesus would have done, Jesus his hands and knees so that I could reach there and all. Also, the commercials at the super Bowl in general were just like where everything is just devolving in front of my eyes. They're like, oh, we'll just get influencers and celebrities and that'll make it funny and good. It's like, this used to be fun. I used to like watching the commercials. We turned the music up this this year, We're like this is terrible.

Like I didn't even give a shit about the commercials this year. They used to be very fun. Also, companies now start promoting their Super Bowl commercial and like like three or four weeks before or Land Foundation for like the reveal of the commercial even though they had about six seven commercials, like the eminem ship with Mia Rudolph. Look I love my Rudolph, but like, man, that was just so boring and such a trash cabine and it didn't make sense. It wasn't funny. It makes me mad.

Bring back if Trump want to win the presidency makes super Bowl commercials great again? All right? Fun stuff? Like I bring it back every day at the beginning of a zoom calls, you know, every zoomin. That's my friend, thank you. Not being a lot of practice I'm not gonna lie a lot of practice lazy. That's mainly what I've been working on since I saw you paid. Let me know if you need me to donate to your practice funds. We used to spoof commercials, remember that, Like

that commercial was spoofed and scary movie. Like I can't even think of a commercial that would be spoof today. Yeah, besides this Jesus commercial. Actually maybe the Jesus commercial does what the Jesus commercial is iconic. Honestly, it was a hit camp camp. What if they were like, well, we just liked it because of Jesus commercial is camped and Megan three and we got the commercials. Did you see I haven't seen it yet. I actually heard y'all talk think about I gotta see it, but it's camp and

loves it. So also that Jesus Jesus they on that sorry, just what one last detail on this because you did mention a hobby lobby. So on the website for He Gets Us, they talk about how Jesus promoted women's equality, which is a little undercut by the fact that one of the campaign's vocal donors is Hobby Lobby co founder David Green, the man himself, who has supported anti lgbt Q legislation, waged a year's long legal fight to deny

medical coverage for contraception on the basis of religious beliefs. So, yeah, like the very person that you would assume is involved in this and like that that is most known for opposing the sorts of messages they were trying to claim, like Jesus is on board with this, is is involved. It's like they were like, well, we gotta get the main bad guy involved. All this time, I thought the hobby was like nitt in a. Aren't the hobby is hey, yeah,

gotta practice. Yeah, But it's it really is the equivalent of like a youth group pastor who like sits down, like puts his hat on backwards, and it's like, yeah, no, I get it, Like I wanna you know, Jesus was just cool and like he just liked to rap with his friends, turns his seat backwards, and then like by the end of the month of youth group, he's like talking to you about masturbating and how it's like the devil wants to kill you because you've masturbated or some ship.

It's just the bait and switch, that old bait and switch, cool cool pastor, And I'm not falling for it anymore. I was just involved in a youth group and got scammed. You guys, I gotta gotta stuff going to Christian gotta stop going to Christian youth groups. I got it's uh, why is this girl man here? Once I hit my forties, they were like, maybe not, but I'm still youthful about thank you the age cap on this, Okay, I have belonging with the youth. Get the Jesus love doesn't have

a number. But now I get it. I understand they hate groups more because I used to be like why do they want to be a people's business, But I'm like, oh, it's a griff. They're just doing your money and using it for whatever they want. And like you don't really have to try and much out when you're for hate, Like you know, it's not much that you can like show for that that is, like you know a spreadsheet of like look how many hates we did this week? Like we're doing the work like you can spend the

money out iver you want. It's a griff eat. 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 of Miles. He needs your validation, folks. I hope you're having a great weekend and I will talk to him Monday. By S.
