Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.
Blake.
We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by another hilarious stand up comedian actor. This one's also a musician, this one who has a Pitchfork seven point four rated album.
Yeah, I hate, I hate to mention it and what is that number?
How do you do hate to hate every time? It's not that good.
It is really good. Like it's better than a lot of albums that I really like.
You know, Yeah, I bet I beat a Will Co album, one will Go album. I beat like Sky Blue Sky. And that's like the other people Will Coo fans are mad about, you know, all the will Co albums. A little bit, I was better. I was rated better than one of the lesser will Co albums. Yeah, but uh, you know, in general, yeah, I'm I can also scientifically prove I'm better than Will Coo in a bunch of ways if we had time.
But but I do have time.
I got a seven point four Pitchfork. Yeah, so anyway, I don't like to mention it too many times you're.
Tweety, It doesn't sound as tough wing. You're bullying tweet someone named tweety unfessionally.
That was my problem with Sylvester of the Cat.
They have serious they should do merged with Sylvester the Cat on it.
That's a good I couldn't agree more.
I don't think he likes.
That though, when people probably tweety bird with him, he hates it.
No, he's like, yeah, he's like I think he's a he's a very powerful man. You know, I don't think he's anyone. Yeah, you know, he comes on friendly, but he is Jeff tweety, and he's got legions of annoying white man who follow him around.
What if you got what if Jeff tweety had you disappeared? That would be the most embarrassing way to get offt just Jeff Tweety off to you.
I can believe it. He would have, like he would have one of the guys in less savvy fav do it.
Yeah, let's just say a ghost is born after this podcast.
Where you were talking, oh god exactly.
Yeah, yeah, And now you've revealed Jack that you are one of his followers.
I am. I am legion.
All right. I'll tell you quick, quick funny story, quick funny story. I was in a coffee shop when Sky Blue Sky came off out. I've also been in a coffee shop when every album came out, but.
Where you hang.
But I like the guy behind the counter was like one of these guys who loves will go like thinks they're like, you know, I don't know, really important for some reason. Yeah, And I think they're good, you know, I think they're good. Yeah, you know, I like them a lot. I mean I've gotten a little bit tired of them. But but I mean they put out there, I don't know, one hundred records or something like. Yeah, way in side projects. He has some side project with
his son, you know, and yeah, it's called tweety. I mean, the guy's a megalomaniac. But anyway, anyway, he I would love to get in a feud with him. It'd be so good for my social media numbers. Oh my god, I could just get to yell at me once I would get I don't know what I would get with something.
Yeah, probably four or five more followers on threads. Yeah, who just antagonized you the whole time.
Yeah, so that anyway, I was in this in this store, and and sky Blues guy was like a disappointment and that's this guy was like he just said to me, the guy behind the counter, I was like, Oh, what do you think of this new Wilco record or whatever? I don't even know what I was taught. I just
talked to baristas because I'm lonely. I was like, oh, and he said he said, it's it's it's disappointing when you when you really when you know what they're capable of, which I thought that was really funny to me, Like
really that my parents would have said to me. Yeah, it was this really weird like and I knew what he meant, because like there's a certain class of like music fan that likes like when will Cope put a lot of computer noises in their songs, like they were like, now we're getting somewhere, you.
Know what I mean?
And then like Skyblos guy was sort of just like regular rock and roll without as much beeping or like They're like, yeah, we know that they're capable of more. And I'm like, you mean more computer noises.
More beeping.
Yeah, like you mean like dusty computer. You mean, like you think music's advanced if it uses machines.
And I didn't get into it with him because I just wanted to, you know, I didn't want to have a fight.
Well, you know, Cold War kids don't use the machines. They just it's just all talent and vocals. You know nothing about music. I've noticed is that the Cold War kid. That's my most current reference. Also, the Cold War Kids a tape recorder. Yeah, that's right. They never did that.
Ship.
But anyway, this book, this podcast is coldbrew got me like his book is The Advice King Anthology.
Uh.
He's the only person who will go off on a ten minute sidebar during his introduction.
It's Chris motherfucking Crafted.
Hey, what's up? I never get a AKA, No one ever gives me one, so I'm gonna do one. I'm sure there's like a dozen. I've been through the I've been through the desert on a horse named Chris Crofton.
There it is, So it's pretty good America.
Not Neil Young, just a just another Chris Crofton in the wall.
Uh huh, oh, you're good at that. Christ to you, Chris, come on, man, we're gonna get soon.
We're going to get by. Those old sisters made that one. There's plenty of room at the hotel.
Chris Crofton.
I mean that one works really well.
Actually, and I wrote all those you did. I told you, I told you guys. Just he has a seven point four on pitch for it. H Chris, how how are you doing?
I'm doing great. I'm here in Nashville, well, Madison technically, which is like sort of like the vape sales district. Uh huh right right, and but you know it's fine. I'm I'm like having fun over here. You know, I'm just had my birthday yesterday.
Hey, Chris Crofton to you.
Thanks turned fifty five, which is like, you know, not a birthday you just necessarily out loud. Yeah, you don't want to say out loud. There's not like a lot of people are going to be like, there's a lot of people just went you know, but whatever, you know, I gotta like I'm an oversharer. I'm not going to start lying about my I like to tell people the real deal, yeah, like grunge style. I was raised by Eddie Vedder and Eddie Wedder tells the truth.
I mean, and that's now he went right there, justin we can come back in a year. Eddie Vedder tells the truth.
If he doesn't anymore, he doesn't anymore. Though he has a facelift. He has a facelift. Eddie, did he get a facelift? Yeah?
Man, come on, I mean it's well done.
But he's still he got one, you know, Oh really yeah.
He got I mean I mean, well the best one I've ever seen. Does he have those like otherworldly eyes that like Wolf Blitzer's face lift was just like, all of a sudden, his eyes looked like he was like from David Lynch's Dune or something like. His eyes just like had these weird, like shadowy blue like features to them.
I think Eddie looks like he just looks like what he is, which is like a guy who gave up on the whole, you know. I mean, he kind of gave up on the grunge thing, you know, fighting Ticketmaster and stuff like all that stuff like that. I was, you know, like, I was like, that's what you were here for. I like that guy, Yeah, I like, the guy was all mad. Now he's like mister, you know, he's just like mister Chicago Cubs or whatever.
His pro junk feet.
When I saw me made it. When I saw him, he made a big speech. I saw him in LA before I moved, and he in twenty twenty two and he made a speech about how he didn't think that the allegations against Bill Murray were true because he's hung out with Bill Murray and Bill Murray's rules. He was super nice, and I was like, he went on a long thing about that, and I was like, man, Eddie, you need to drink glass wine on stage, you dumb man. Yeah,
I don't know. I mean, you just turned into every guy who I've met you used to rail against people like what you're Yeah, I mean just it was like, dude, you fucking you did it. He fucking got too famous in all right. Yeah, so anyway, Eddie Vedder would say he was the old Eddie Vedder that I used to like.
What a set he was fifty five. And I'll tell you one thing on a blog, on a blog or on some one time I went on that reddit they have for the Daily Zeitgeist, that the subreddit mistake, right, I know.
I know, but I wanted more.
I wanted more praise. I was looking for more praise now. I couldn't get enough on the regular, on the underneath, the underneath Instagram was enough prompted, did a good job? All this Craft is number one? He fever or whatever? I said, yeah, And then I went on Reddit and Craft one guy is they always put I always put that under sweeping the Globe and Instagram, Instagram. Oh it's always there's a past that Craft truly couldn't anyway.
So I.
Went on God damn the subreddit, and the subreddit said, uh that. They said that it was sad that I was fifty three, so I can only imagine like this guy was like, I think it's kind of sad that he is doing this at age fifty three. And then and then someone else said, what's he supposed to be doing? I know he's like, what else is he supposed to
be doing? And then the guy was like, I don't know, you know, but I know what he thought, because he thinks, fifty three year olds yacht or golf, Yeah, yacht or some ship, and you.
Should be hanging out of his golf club, country club.
And another that too, but you don't just podcast. You do also hang out at your golf club as well. Who know you can you.
Pull your yacht up to your golf course And yeah.
I run, I run a yeah I run. I run a whole network of gambling sites.
I do a lot of things.
You do a lot of interest. I would argue that wins might be the best thing to drink as a performer, like at a rock show, where because liquor that will take hold of you too quickly, beer will bloat you and you'll like burn during your performance, where wine, I think might actually be the smoothest thing that you can if you're gonna do it.
Maybe it would have been better if Eddie Vedder had been bloated during his speech about how his fellow celebrity was cool to him and so therefore it can't be a predator.
Yeah, also a speech that he didn't even make a comment in passing it.
It was rough stuff. And he also said, like he called a woman a bitch, like he was like he's like he was wearing sparkle jacket and some other someone in the audience was wearing a Sparkley jacket, like he was wearing a sequin jacket. And he said, like, don't steal my thunder bitch, And then he felt so bad about it because his old like activist self like was
he wasn't drunk enough to forget that. So he started saying like women needed to equal pay and stuff right after that, and it was like, man, you are a fucking mess.
Equal pay to buy different jackets than me.
He was just so embarrassed. He was so embarrassed he said, bitch when I mean no one really he was. And then he went on. He immediately said like women's pay was going up or something, and it was like, my god, you are too drunk, buddy. You know you've.
You've alienated the tweety mafia and now the Vetermans.
And you've alienated you should take all that out.
Sorry about that, bitches and Sparkley jackets, you can take that out coming for your ass.
But I'm fifty five. I don't know what that means. I'm fifty five, so I get to go to fifth the movies or something for half bridan.
I don't know what happened something. It's the new forty seven. Yeah, fifty five is the new forty seven. So you're you're your threats that where we're at now in.
The Yeah, I mean it doesn't matter. No one can stop me. No one.
It's always it's always very convincing when there's a pause in between stops. No one can stop me. I'm on hinge, right, bab, I'm unhinge me. Yes, he's unhinged. I'm going to add that to your intro. Actually, next time, what is something from your search history?
Okay?
I looked up a jiff j I f F wow A listen, don't come at me. I play connections. And if I don't understand the word and the context that I think it's insinuating. I look it up and I don't think that's cheating.
So is this after after you've done so? This is the New York Times.
This is Connections that I'm okay.
Yeah, I was like, I'm sorry, yo, what the fuck is connections?
My seven year old just discovered connections and like he's obsessed with all those games.
Now I'm playing against seven year old?
What the fuck is connections? Connections?
What is a grid four by four of random words or like you know, things, nouns.
Four to five bathroom hours of your life?
Yes, and then you have to which which four are grouped together in two groups of.
Yeah, you have to create four groups of four off this like you know, grid of words. You have to figure out what are the groups? What are the group meanings here? And there's overlap, it's not obvious.
So like one of them, one of the groups, I think it was yesterday, was like Charlie hobby like dark and you had to guess that it was all things that.
Could be starting with the word Charlie like.
Hobby.
Oh okay, I just did the first one. Horsee monc spat top hat. I grouped those.
Things sometimes, oh.
Yeah, yeah, so wait, they did one that was Jiff.
And within them, right, oh j I is one of them.
Yeah, And I was like, is this a file name that I'm just stupid about?
Like what is okay?
Right?
What you find?
And I wanted a double check. But there are some people a ka my husband who believe that going out of the game into any other source for clarity is cheating.
I mean it's not, it's however, you want to play the game right, Like I, yeah, I do that all the time, like crossword puzzles, like.
Okayeh, cheating.
He thinks you're what you're supposed.
To do, just quitting, like you don't know what means did your husband graduate like top of his class or something.
Probably not.
Oh, it feels like valid, like high schooler.
I don't think so.
It feels like that kind of thing.
It was like I did it the right way and no one else did, and it's like, sure, full, I.
Don't know anything.
He struggles.
Oh, and he doesn't like that. Yeah, you'd be shitty with me. If I'm shitty, you gotta be shitty too.
Don't be trying to on your permanent record, right right right?
Oh?
Ship, is there no rules in this world?
It allows you to play the game. Otherwise you just sit there stuck.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
But sometime times sometimes I like to put the puzzle down and then it pops into my head what the answer is?
You know what I mean?
Sometimes GBT and I just show with the grid and I say, what are the answers? And I don't think that's cheating, right.
I don't think it is the game.
You're just playing the game. Sometimes I go to Google and say what are the answers to Today's connection? And then I go and impress my seven year old and watch his watch.
Look how fast daddy does it? Aw, you didn't get well that's because you're stupid. Okay, if you want me to do this new one I haven't seen, give me like two seconds.
I go over to the bathroom really quickly wash my hands. He's looking it up in there, idiot, he has no idea.
I can hear you what you're using.
Bad words.
You're using bad words in there. No, I'm washing my hands.
Wow, kids are great because you can just trick them.
You can fart on you.
Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Not having to drive? Not having to drive is a beautiful fucking thing. And I know, like there are some people who live in cities where you don't have to drive a lot. I want to talk to you because you don't know the other side. You don't know, you don't know what it's like to need to have to commute. So you're spoiled. And I was spoiled brat once.
I used to live in Chicago.
We didn't have to drive in Chicago. But living in this concrete jungle called Los Angeles that we live in, we have to drive. And man, I love getting rides. Man, I love getting rides. I'm telling you now, if somebody ever asked me, like you want to drive. My answer is going to be no. Yeah, it's going to be no. I'm gonna say no, you can drive. I'll take the passenger seat. I will just sleep. I'll just I'll lean that.
There's nothing like leaning that chair back on passenger seat, putting on some sunglasses, have some music playing, and like, you know, only waking up when the person driving has to slam on their brakes. Like that's a beautiful fucking thing.
Because I don't trust other people to drive.
Like this is my problem with flying too, because I'm like, it's just the feeling of not being in control, totally a psychological defect on my on my cart. It's not it's not a good thing. But yeah, I prefer to drive driven.
Yeah.
See I went.
I had some shows to San Diego this past weekend and I took the train down. I was like, I drive and hell yes I watched. I watched WrestleMania on the way back.
It was gorgeous.
It was a gorgeous evening of commuting that I didn't have to do anything.
And does the train sit there?
Does the train of San Diego still have that business where you have to take a.
Like a bus for part of it or does it.
I didn't like I. So what I did was I just I I there is a train that comes to and from Burbank, which is the town I live in. Don't come find me, uh but I but it's like the time, so we're.
Gonna be real hard to find. The black guy in Bourbon.
Is so hard.
It's so hard. So I just go to the Union station and parks is like seven dollars to park for the whole fucking day train there and back.
They must have fixed it.
It was at some point during last year, like part of the track washed out.
Oh San Clemente. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Not that's not related to that's not related to anything about how the globe is changearming.
Anyway, you're.
Trying to have fun. Dude, who don't like slides? I like the slides?
Doesn't love month slides?
Slide, man, I love a mudslide.
You ever seen Romancing with Stone That she looks fun as well?
She looks great man. Journey to the Center to Earth, that seems fun.
The Coastliner, the.
You guys have so many mud slide scenes queued up.
I can't do.
Goonies kind of more of just a water slide. In the earth for some reason.
Nothing, I got nothing.
Yeah, the Coastliner is a blast, highly recommend for anybody in LB. And you're about to go to the land of convenient train travel.
By the way, bro, I can't I can't wait to get on the bullet train. Man's yeah. I also was thinking of something. This is the toxic traits of my brain. Have you ever thought like, all right, so like if you're standing on a if you're standing on a platform, like you see it, you see the train coming, right, yeah, And you're like, could I jump from one platform to the other and you missed the train? Like, yes, I think about that allime.
We raised on the same movies.
Man, Yeah, I think I could. Fucking do they just think that.
Was in the movie Entrapman. That's how Sean Connery flirted with Catherine Zada Jones. Was he even just jump through a train like as a way to just yeah, it's so easy.
It feels it feels easy to me in my brain. I'm like, all right, the train is that far? I see it coming, see, I see the distance?
All right?
If I time it, because because I don't want to just jump, I want to jump and have there be a hint of peril, Like I want to jump and make it. I don't want to just jump when the train is like a blockdown street. I want to jump and make it. So like I think I think I could time it out perfectly and do it.
Yeah.
And if I don't, you know, it's been real.
Yeah.
Let me throw this out there for you, Kase.
Sorry, I got excited, iause. Now I'm hearing another pitch for my second business idea of the episode, which is just sort of like you know those like like kind of like foam gymnastics places for kids. Yeah, one of those, but for grown men to do all the toxic shit that I probably shouldn't try. So, like like a fake train tracks and I guess, like a huge, like fucking train two train size blocks of foam that go by a thirty miles, just to see if you could jump across. Yeah, hells like that.
Yeah.
Have you ever been walking up the stadium and you look back and you're like, I wonder if I could jump from here to the court, you know, from the top from the top road to the court, Like if I could jump far enough out then it wouldn't catch it. I know I couldn't, but.
Like I think if I jumped down, I can like jump and like grab the next level, bar down and jump and grab the next level. I think I could do so much ship. Yeah, yeah, you know what I am. I am the Rock and Sam Jackson and other guys when they jumped off that fucking buildings like just and then I smacked the ground.
Right bush or like a big a big like fake dumpster full of stuff and just like a like I didn't know.
That was medical waste. That was all the used syringes jumped into.
Oh fuck anyway, So yeah, that's just there's gotta be some warehouse in like city of industry that we could we could host this.
Oh man, I love that idea.
Yeah.
I have an overactive call of the void, where like anytime I'm like on a building top or just anything, my brain there is a big chunk of my brain that's like telling me to, you know, do something deadly.
Yeah, I could touch that.
I could jump across this street.
Granted at street level, I would never think I could do that, but up here, sure thing easy. What is something Ben that you think is overrated?
Okay?
You know, I historically have a tough time with overrated because I don't want to be rude to anybody, but I'm gonna say it. So many dietary supplements are absolute bullshit. It is ohane, It is insane that we did an episode on this for stuff they want you to know recently. I can't remember when it comes out, but spoilers, folks. The FDA in particular is a sleep at the wheel.
Totally.
No, you're getting caffeine and sawdust. That is what you're getting. Whatever, What was that?
When?
What was that one story we were talking about where it's like it may include up to this like it was just so all over the place, like formulations or it's like, I it.
Could literally be anything, could be anything that we're taking.
Vitamin wise, Yeah, wasn't it chewable vitamins or something like, oh yeah, yeah vitamins.
Gummy vitamins are like their gummy candy first second of all their gummy bears sprayed with like vitamins, And it can be. But it's also true for edibles, like some edibles don't have that specific of doses and so you have to be really careful. But the same goes for vitamins. They basically take some gummy candy and spray it with vitamin whatever the vitamins say they are, and like sometimes it gets a lot on there and sometimes not so much, and they're.
Sh this was Oh man, it's got like three of them on What it's like when you get that one dorrito that has all the Yeah, yeah, I.
Think that's a great way to think about it. Dorito's.
You know, Dorito's are mostly like uniform, but sometimes you get the one that's just opaque with dust, and sometimes they're pretty light. Yeah, you get a little naked naked nacho cheese dorito.
Did you hear, guys? I haven't confirmed this, but I heard I swear I read somewhere from the dorrito folks that they don't need the dust for the flavoring, and that it's like a psychological thing, like it's just part of the dorrito experience to have the powder.
I've like, I've licked the powder off my fingers, and my fingers taste like doritos and taste too much like doto's. And I bite my fingers.
It feels like a cornip, a blank corn chip. It's not like the flavors like enmeshed within the corn chip. Right, I feel like that's like harder to manufacture than than printing off a bunch of blank corn chips and then, depending on your flavor, dust them accordingly.
Oh looks like, uh yeah, it looks like I I appreciate. Yeah, I'm wrong. It turns out it was a hoax. I fell for it if it was a Waffles at noon dot com. It turns out that.
And that is where you get most of your information from from dot com.
Number one source.
No, no, we gotta take down the Dorito's at man, we gotta take it down.
Yeah.
Hey, god, the.
It sounds like that, like a contract dispute between Gritos and whoever their dust supplier is, and they're like, we don't need them. We actually don't need them. People like the core corn chip just as much as different flavors.
Yeah.
Yeah, depending on the severity of your brain injury, it could taste like anything. I just like how both Jack and I were so fucking passionate that immediately you were.
Not even checking. I was like, no, fuck you Ben the dusting. You were like, how do that ship?
Yeah?
Yeah, because I love watching like how how does she get made?
Type videos? And I love seeing like like whether it's like lunch meat or other ship. I'm like, oh gosh, lunch beat mad.
I've always suspected lunch meat is like a slurry that like gets.
It is very processed.
That's where they say, like eating a lot of processed lunch meat is very detrimental, can be very detrimental to your health.
But what if we could just spray vitamins lunch meat?
Thank you?
Counterpoint being business. Actually it would all end up in like the little puddle at the bottom of the lunch beat.
Oh yeah, you.
Do love how wet my lunch meat is. I like to eat things that are like me, you know, sweaty.
All right, it's a weird tagline, man, Let's see how it goes.
I like to eat things that are like me, white and sweaty. I'm pale and sweaty, like slice.
Turkey, dietary supplements for bullshit.
Yes, oh right, right, yeah, right right, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back, and Donald Trump has announced his position on abortion.
It's just hilarious considering he's forced women to have them.
Yes, yes, of course, he you know, brought this Supreme Court into existence that overturned row so.
I think we know where it stands, right right. Well, look, last week we were talking about the Florida abortion ban and how like the Florida State Supremes Court was like, all right, look man, yeah, we we're gonna go to like a six week ban, but also there will be a ballot measure where the voters can decide in November if they truly want to have no body bodily autonomy or any kind of access to healthcare and things like that, And a lot of the questions around that were like, well,
what's Trump gonna do because before he's talked about Ronda Santis' like six week ban talk like when Ronda Santis was a candidate in the primary. But what now, like, is he gonna say I agree, because that's sort of like the thing that all the sort of major conservative pundits really want and the obviously the evangelicals also want out of a president or.
Would he say abortion is good? Probably not.
But we got our answer Monday, and it isn't a shock to me that like, rather than saying like, we will pursue an all out federal ban on abortion, he went with the status quo, which is just to be like, I think the states should decide, and he did throw, you know, a wacky lie out about how Democrats want to do post birth executions for good measure, just to make that seem extreme, rather than be like, yeah, I don't know, whatever you and a doctor decide, that seems reasonable.
But even though he tried to have like this non answer type answer, he still managed to like get abortion advocates fucking rightly pissed off because they're pointing out that him saying that is just giving the go ahead for red states to just do whatever the fuck they want to do. But then also at the same time, he pissed off the conservatives because they were looking for him to be like, I'm god, I will as president pursue a federal ban on abortion, and when he didn't do that, they're like.
You fuck you fucked us, you fucked us.
I think it's I think it's just truly he knows how unpopular it is to be anti choice. Yeah, so like he is smart enough to know that that isn't a popular opinion. So I think what he's trying to do again, he just wants to come off as reasonable because it's still a doors and maybe he can get a few independents and then he can turn to turn the dial up as he needs to to, you know, get the the evangelicals a little bit more energized to go to the polls.
But yeah, it's his.
MEDA commentary on abortion has always been like, it's very stupid to overturn it because some popular But then, right, we let him do the meta commentary and then also be like, and now he has announced his official position, which is just like, you know, it's the horse race coverage.
I just I want to bring in a new angle on this. I think it's really messed up that he didn't credit Kim Kardashian for his standpoint.
Oh yeah, wow, yeah.
Kim Kardashian invented.
The do you oh oh, I thought Kim Kardashian came out as I think it's a state's rights issue.
What because it's the do you of politics?
Right?
Right?
I think the states should decide.
What do you think about Nazis? That's like it's not for me, but like do you do you? Do you? Really? Do you?
There was a period of time if you remember when people were saying that.
Right, right, do you think everybody else's robots? Is that?
How that's the only way that that.
You do you?
Wait? So what they are mean?
Yeah, look, I'm not saying vaccines cause injuries, but do you.
Should I try a tired pot?
Do you? Do you?
Yeah?
Do you want to?
I like it as a comprehensive philosophy. You know it works? Yeah, makes life so much easier. Yeah, to be Switzerland and World War two. I have a good friends who are pro genocide. So do you?
Yeah?
Do you? And you know, it's just hard. We hang out all the time. We don't talk about politics because they're so insanely wealthy. But but just do you like, It's just I don't want to bring up I don't want to bring up like real ideas up when I'm trying to bask in my millionaire existence, billionaire existence, whatever it is.
Multi billionaire.
The Rock kind of dabbled in this, you know, political stance of do you while also saying that the main problem that we're facing though is woke cancel culture. So he was like, do you But actually the real problem is that people are too mean to Jordan Peterson.
Yeah, The Rock is a shitty guy.
It turns out, I know it.
Was happening slowly, slowly, slowly, you know, just slowly revealing himself a little bit more, a little bit more.
I mean the cheat meals was the day giveaway cheat meals to be like, yeah, I eat like all you little piggies, look at me, I'm young pancakes. But like you're not eating them. We can tell you're not anyway.
Yeah, you're you're shaking, sweating, pretending even pretending that you want to eat this stuff. But then I remember that other one I remember a few years ago. He's like, this is my cheat meal and it was like six hundred dollars worth of sushi. Yeah, yeah, that one, I believe.
That feels more to me, like what he would do. It's like his cheat meal is like it costs six hundred dollars. I eat six hundred dollars of sushi, and that he is not out And yeah, chocolate chip.
Hat, Stanley cup of salt water.
Yeah, of eel sauce.
Yeah, I drink a Stanley forty ounce Stanley quincher full of eel sauce.
All right.
We also found out something about Trump over the weekend when Roseanne went viral Oh my God with a video from a GOP fundraiser where she basically said, you know, don't go to college.
Do me a favor.
Drop out.
They don't teach you nothing in college. Email me or Twitter me or whatever you call me and I'll help you with your life.
But you got to get out.
Of college because it isn't nothing but a bunch of devil. Where been baby blood drinking Democratic donors? That's a direct quote, and Jack, you should really you should have you. Did you see the clip of her when she delivered this. She had her like hair wrapped like she was Miss Cleo. And so now in this like wooden room, Oh my, hear that. I'm sorry that you already read it, but watching her hearing her say it, I haven't seen it.
I want to see it.
Pull it up. You had me at Miss Cleo?
Hey, oh bro, how are you doing? I'm here at Marlago supporting Carry Lake and it was a fantastic eavening and our Trump is here being the DJ, and I've just danced and everyone's amazed. So I'm going to say to you, please drop out of college because it's going to ruin your lives.
Whoa favor drop out?
They don't teach you nothing. Good? Email Twitter, you call me and I'll help you with your life. But you've got to get out of college.
Be cut.
It isn't nothing but devil worship baby blood drinking Democrat donors.
That's what college is.
Wait, I'm sorry Trump is DJ that. That's the only thing I got.
From that, And now we know what they're all drinking.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, trumpets to Ruin.
She really said, enjoy that.
Then she's like and they were all amazed, Like she completely glossed and was.
Like yeah, like.
Everyone's amazed. I think she I couldn't tell people were amazed by her dancing or by the Trump being the DJ. I think they were amazed that someone could take that, like eat that many z bars of like dan X and drink and still be dancing somehow.
And I just time fabled here from about two hours ago when I swore I asked somebody to take me home.
But I guess there's a video of me.
I'm dancing and don't go to college because the Democrats would drink your baby and then you will be a demon donor.
How did that.
Video come about? Like obvious? I feel like somebody at Bar a Lago was like Roseanne, come here.
Was she's so fucked up. Let's get this on camera. Y'll get her to send your cousin a fucking thing about going to college. Did she'll sell you anything? Right, she's at the top, she's like shouting out somebody, let me hear them. Hey bro, oh bro, go pro Earl grow.
You know it was go pro right.
I don't know.
Earl Grove Australia. I don't know.
I don't know me and song lyrics too.
I just can't.
But maybe it was somebody like a woke mega parent like had like divorced them, being like, hey, I feel like if I get Roseanne to tell my kid to drop out of college, they'll they'll actually they'll call me again.
I mean, if Republicans stop going to college, college should be a much more enjoyable place.
Yeah, but it's not safe for them there. It's not safe for them there.
They really say, yeah, yeah.
You should come by my college. You come by my college. I'll teach you all the secrets of looking into directly into the sun and putting a you know, a Farrah gun massage wand right to your temple and we'll just do that stuff to kind of raise our vibration so we can break out of the woke paradigm.
Thank you, yeah, do that too much anxiety, too many bad thoughts?
Give me that, Sarah gun.
So the big takeaway for a lot of people is the idea of Trump moonlighting is a DJ, which Axios immediately chased it down. The intrepid reporters at Axios were like, Okay, wait, what the fuck? And Trump has apparently been moonlighting as the in house DJ at his golf clubs for years. And so then we get to which just means he has a Spotify playlist that he makes everybody listen to.
Do you want me to get my DJ? I'm gonna get my DJ.
Let me get my DJ booth And he just gets an iPad and you're like a fuck.
And you know it's an iPad for sure.
You know it's a fucking iPad.
Of course it is DJ being a DJ.
Still like make people likable? Is that what they're going for?
Like?
Is that how he connects with the DJ?
Still DJ? Still got DJ, still got social cache, you know what I mean? But you got to actually rock a party. That's the only thing.
You can't just party. You can't pull up and say you're a DJ.
Name goes Miles Miles, Miles, he's rocking the Republican party.
He can't you rock a party?
Though?
Look at me with my eighties idea of being a DJ. Look, I was born in.
The man rock up party?
Can that young man rock up party?
Though?
All right?
I mean, ever since I saw we are your Friends, I've had a new appreciation for what it means to be a DJ. And yes they are cool. I do just want to take a brief look at his playlist because some ideas.
All right, what have we got here?
So he's got Fano of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Suspicious minds Okay, a little Bit plus Hello by Lionel Ritchie, Guns and Roses November Rain Snead O'Connor. Is nothing compares to you like playing hello? And nothing compares to you at a party?
Oh my god hates him?
Yeah, oh yeah, I know he has no clue.
Yeah right, no, well you know that's just like does a depressed person like you would if anybody besides Donald Trump played fucking nothing compares to you at a party, Like everyone would just be like yo, are you?
Are you right?
Like right before it's like Jesus Christ Superstar, You're like what.
The fuck fifteen You're like, oh no.
I mean it just we've seen before the dictators like are all like a lot of the time driven by an inner like sad creative like Hitler was a failed artist. It's just so funny to realize that Trump is like a failed you know, musician comedian DJ. Like that's he's just this like sad emo bitch who like wants everybody to like feel his feeling. And it's it's so wild to me, like we could stop all of this if we just made him the host of the Tonight show, Like we we could stop it.
All right, this is.
All really mess up because they're turning this country into the Middle East. And meanwhile, I.
Can't go home, right, everything about it? Right, he's the having such like you know, sad songs. That's that's not what I know. But again that's the difference.
Is it me looking for Oh god, he just we're not like it's like it's it's true. But that's why I think DJ is a misnomer because you have to call it for what it is. It's a fucking narcissist with the ox cable.
That's what it is. And that's my nightmare.
Is someone like, there's nothing worse than someone who's like, has no self awareness and is like, I know what the people want musically, You're like, no, dude, you don't even know what you don't even know what the fuck you want. You don't even know what drives you because neither lack of any kind of introspection. And then he puts on the Luciano Pavaratti and James Brown duet version of It's a Man's Man's Man's World What, and then in Tamacho Man by fucking the village Macho Man.
We've all seen him dance for that one where he does the like jerking off two guys hand motion.
Yeah, he's got I'm actually doing you to shake ways, actually doing TRICEP isolation workouts.
Are we really gearing up for another Trump slash presidency?
Sorry?
Like I said, if enough people say, hey, November, take your time, take your time, take your time. But who knows, Yeah, and we might who knows. Maybe we'll be doing this podcast in some kind.
Of political prison in a few years. Hey, you know, we'll do it.
Fun releasing like pigeon, you know, just like mini discs.
Yeah, just talking to bricks.
Yeah, talking to bricks or who knows, or maybe the Rock will be president and then we'll all have to we'll be in our mandated steroid use classes together to make sure that we have the strongest army in America in the world.
This is the worst day for me to come off Molly.
God, the day after Mollie.
No serotonin, no serotonin us help me.
Don't worry, folks, I'm pumping and dumping my breast milk.
Okay, you're like, yeah, but then yeah, never mind.
Pumping and dumping it down my gullet.
I'm gonna say, like, is there any leftover m D m A traces of M D M A that you could then synthesize? That sounds like a really grim question, And just for full disclosure, this is a bit okay, so I'm.
Not asking, Yeah, we're not any of this.
You're not actually doing Molly and pumping and dumby.
But you know.
How hardcore I am about taking care of my baby. I would pump and dump my breast milk, not because there's traces, but because it might give her reflux.
On top of the wrong.
Oh, you know what, shellfish, what do you have to what do you eat that that that that causes that in the baby specific things. Yeah.
Yeah, this is very controversial topic, myles, because a lot of Elsie's will tell you that these things don't give the baby reflux, that actually other things are going on, like a tongue tie. But pediatricians book is something in the mother's breast milk causing the reflux. They will blame your coffee that will put you on a reflux tight and then they'll tell you, you know, babies.
Are just gassy, right, So wait, is there an answer that's like, So, it's this thing where like lactation consultants and then pediatricians have differing views, and.
I mean, how are you going to figure it out? Because by the time you get down to it, your baby's digestive system has developed. You're now past that milestone and now they're fine and you don't know what did it?
Yeah, right, right right, yeah.
And also your brain kind of forgets a lot of the worst parts of like that first year.
Yes, but the thing to remember was that you failed as a mom, right right, right, yes, yes, forget the reason why, just hold on to that.
There's so much there is so much like fucking like pro breast milk sort of propaganda that like, it definitely makes anyone who isn't producing enough breashed milk filed completely less than because it's.
Like totally you're not producing. Oh my god, are you? Are you? Are you a loving parent? It's like, oh Jesus, dude, relax man. People are sucking people. Everyone's body is different.
Yeah, and if you're just joining us. Sarah is a repeat guest who just had a baby a year ago, and it's all she talks about.
Yeah, rightfully, so beautiful child, Beautiful Child, j wonderful, one of the best DJs you've ever seen. She played a remix of this Justice track I hadn't heard in a long time, and I was just like, Wow, this is she knows that she knows the hits she likes. She likes the French DM stuff too.
She's a big Taylor Swift fan.
All right, yeah, Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift and Britney Spears.
Okay, wow.
Yeah.
My kids were into the Beatles when they were very young and then don't remember any of the songs that they were into when they were.
Are they like you're lying?
Dude's Lucy the Sky with Diamonds, Dude, out of here.
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back, and okay, guy installed eel aquarium in his rain cistern. I just something I don't even need to talk about this. I just wanted to bring it to your attention, Chris. It seems like a cool thing, like an underground eel cave that you can just like build into your house. I don't know if this jog's anything for you as a fan of weird underground shit on YouTube.
Well, I mean, I'm just I'm just I've gotten so hooked on a couple of things now with just the mind exploration and the guy who finds the bottles that I I don't really I don't need any eels or anything like that, but I respect, like, you know, anybody who's uh going to the trouble and I don't.
I don't.
I'm not that kind of person myself. I'm the kind of person who has a clip light and you know, milk crate and uh and and you know in the YouTube and uh tho, that is my life, you know what I mean, like in maybe a banana you know,
on the counter. So there's not a lot happening like as far as like decoration or anything for me, So the idea of like putting an eel farm in my basement is like it just from a labor standpoint, I just think about yeah, like I could be I could be watching television during that time.
That was a bit of a try hard. Whereas like the people who you kind of pay attention to are more people who have a shovel and notice that there's a little dip in a field and go and are like, yeah, people used to ship there and drop their bottles.
Yeah, And I like to I like to watch them do it. I don't want to do it. I don't want to dig. I like to sit on my ass. I like to write poems. They are one of the least you don't need to exert yourself. And yeah, I like those kinds of things. I like thinking. I like looking off into the middle distance. Yeah, Like I don't really want to like fuck with eels, you know what
I mean. Like, and that's the problem is like when you have like a significant other, like like a woman who you know might be interested in a man that did some stuff, you know, Like I think that is a good idea. Like I think a woman even if she didn't like the eels, might be like, well, this show's an initiative, yeah, and she'd be right guessing this is not. Yeah, like, look at this guy, this guy I just met. He has an eel farm in his basement.
I mean that's not what I ever really wanted. But I've been divorced twice, and you know Flip Beckins and this guy, I mean, if he has enough money, he has enough money. He has enough money to be raising a couple of gimps yea, And and he has this eel farm. So this guy, I mean, you know, he's a driver's instructor, so you.
Read on this is this guy just built his underground, subterranean eel farm for the ladies.
Yes, as like a way to show that he is motivated, or because he's insane and has sex with the eels in some way.
Right, yeah, yeah, there's alway. There's always is the chance that this is like to him what the moths are to buy.
Two reasons a man does anything, Yeah, and they're basically the same reason that it turns out it's the same reason. Are you having sex with the eels or are you trying to obtain sex by having the heels. Yes, all right. Uh Polly hashtag obtained sex obtain Oh god, fuck?
Should should we talk Polly and the biking.
Yeah.
So we've talked before about how a lot of Western European and American cities were essentially designed by cars. Like it's like a new species came along and was like, we're cars and we're just going to have you change everything to be as efficient for us to get from one place to another. But there have been a couple stories that have made us feel like maybe it's not
too late to undo some of that damage. Usually those things are happening on the Western European side of that, not in the American side of that.
I understand it rarely comes from here, it does not on our side.
We had like a couple months at the beginning of the pandemic where New York was like, we're just not going to have like cars around, We're going to like let people walk around a little bit. And we were like, what if they left? And but before we could say what if we left, it like that like finished that sentence, they had already like let the cars back.
And all the birds killed themselves when the cars came back. It's like oh, there's nature, yes here, why is that?
But so Paris is showing us like what this would look like. They have this very ambitious climate plan that includes transforming streets into zones reserved for pedestrians, bicycles, and public transport. Like these zones sound like Central Park a little bit like what if it was all just you know, I guess Central Park has like a couple roads that go through, but they're like usually closed and like very like there's like one car at a time going through
it for the most part. And so this plan aims to have like thirty thousand parking stands, one thousand spaces reserved for cargo bikes, fifty two kilometers of provisional tracks, three hundred kilometers of bicycle tracks, one thousand kilometers of bike lanes. Just I don't know, it sounds cool to me like that that would be how your city is designed.
Is just like a place where you could like walk around without being concerned that your child would be like pancaked by a fucking muscle car, you know, which is like ninety percent of my mind when I'm walking around with my kid is like, well, how do I ensure that they aren't they don't run into the street and get run over by a fucking car. And it's it's wild that, you know, we didn't have any saying that.
It was just like that used to not be the case, and then over the past seventy years they were just like, yeah, it's better for commerce, so we're gonna make it so you just have to keep your fucking head on a swivel at all times in order to get from place to place.
And the consequences couldn't be fucking higher, by the way, if you if you screw up. And as an avid cyclist, I have the lower body of a hippopotamus. I am very pro bike but I've known or I've seen that American cities will do something where they'll they'll claim that they're very bike friendly, but in that like, oh, we have so many bike lanes, but they're not protected bike lanes. Yes, so it's like, oh, no, we painted a green stripe on the street. So it's on the.
Side of the highway, on the side of the highway.
The other side of the highway. So yeah, which with all all the you know, motorists will be like, oh shit, there's a green stripe on the ground that we no one see and yeah, I think that's the vernacular around it too can be often misleading when because there's nothing better than a protected bike lane. And to your point, it'll get rid of less or it'll cause less emissions. People are also you're getting around and exercising, like you don't have to be going one thousand miles per hour.
It's like, oh, like you get your heart right, you're removing your body around a little bit.
You know.
It's and it's kind.
Of ten extra minutes to get where you're going, even if you're going like a crosstown correct.
Yeah, if that's.
Good for you, you'll feel better. It's such a better way to like have a civilization. And like this they built this shit and now more people commute to work in Paris like now as of now, like they they've been doing.
This for the past few years.
It's like going to get more and more ambitious over the next five but as of now, like more people are commuting to work on bike than car. And like when they started this, that was like unheard, like they were like, well, no, like of course not that's you know, it's it was like an American city.
Did you see the the just quickly that the Paris speaking of just not only are they walking or biking to work, but they twenty five percent. They just had a story in the New York Times, twenty five percent of Parisians live in public housing. Not not affordable housing, public housing, right, And that's what I ran on when I ran for city council. I ran for this affordable housing,
this notion of affordable housing. It's not affordable anyway, you know, like what they're talking about is affordable for you know, if you're upper middle class or middle class, like I mean, I don't even know if there's such a thing as a middle class, but you know there's there's like affordable is like oh, fourteen hundred bucks for a one bedroom or something that's still out of the reach of most
people who work in the service industry. And that's most was a lot of the certainly the artists who live here and uh and just regular people work in the service industry. I mean that's the gig economies, the service industry. I mean, you can't make enough to pay fourteen hundred dollars a month rent doing that, no matter how many fucking door dashes you deliver, And so like you need sub and people are like, oh, what about if we don't we don't want public housing. Look what happened to
public housing. But that's just like what happened to public housing. I mean, yeah, it's like got some crime in it, but so does regular housing. And also those people still live in Nashville. Otherwise they wouldn't be here. They are in public housing and that's why they're here. And uh so Paris unfortunately has like you know, hasn't been brainwashed like America into thinking like that the cars are in the constitution, you know, right, yeah, yeah, because they've been
around for one thousand, ten thousand years or whatever. We've been around for two hundred well you know, in this current incarnation a couple three hundred years, you know, and it seems like most of the time we've had cars.
As far as I noticed, think, yeah, I think it would work, Like I really think we could just like car if it just kept trying at city in cities around the US, like just this is so this is being done in cities around Europe, and like this mayor who has instituted this, like it's a major part of her platform and she's so popular that she's running for president now like she's like it's been done in London, Milan, Barcelona, and those candidates have also gotten like huge marks. It's
just like an easy way too. I mean, I guess not easy in the US, but it is like a guaranteed winner if you just do it in your city, like because people want like walkable, livable cities where you don't have to worry about like just you know, taking a step in the wrong direction and being killed. Like but we can't, like in the US, like we can't do anything about it because we're like captive to I don't know, fucking chambers of commerce.
Like Bruce Brainstein's songs about barefoot girls on the hood of a Dodge. Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know which I love that song. But you know, there's we're we're just brought up to think cars are as American as as as apple pie and fucking freedom. And I mean, you're not gonna take You're not gonna take my car is the same. You'll get the same resistance, Like you're trying to take a gun.
Well, I keep my gun in my car.
Cars. Yeah, you can't take my cars has got my gun in it?
My guns are well okay, so why don't you show me what my gun rack looks like on the back of that ten speed.
It's it's in various saves in my car. It's in my car, and very.
The only walkable city I'm comfortable with is the Walking Dead walk.
Yes, cars in general. Let's just like cars in general were a terrible idea. Like the whole idea. It was a bad idea. It's just that nobody, everybody likes them and that's the problem. So they just like them. So that's the you know, but really big picture, cars were a terrible idea. And I'm gonna say one thing real quick because I know we're running out of time, But I want to say, there's this documentary called My Architect on.
Criteria promoted humans again, like you forgot that you ever talked about.
Or didn't wish I would have the greatest episode ever. But I said that also, I so want to interject humans don't. I don't know the name of it. Go to YouTube put it in HUMANSI there's probably a bunch of stuff that comes up. I can't remember. It says cy on it. I don't know what channel that was, but a sci fi maybe.
S C I do we talk about this. I'm fifty five, thank you.
So uh.
I just wanted to say that there's this this documentary called My Architect, and it's about this architect named Louis Kahan. But it's about his son who didn't know him because his dad had three different families that didn't know about each other. And his dad was five ft six into, severely burnt as a child in Estonia, and he came to America and became this He didn't hit his stride as an artist until he was fifty one, which I like.
And I'm already kicking his ass. You are so so he he he designed these buildings, He designed the capital of Bangladesh, and anyway, he was a terrible dad. But it's this beautiful documentary about Nathaniel Khan. But Khan is not his real name. Is he changed his He was Jewish. He changed his name in the early his father changed his name in the twenties or something. But anyway, Louis Khan is the architect. Anyway, his idea for Philadelphia, and
that's why I thought of it. He lived grew up in Philadelphia after he came from Estonia, and he wanted to He was one of the architects that he had a huge proposal for downtown Philadelphia and it was to have cars all left outside the city. And this is in and he was laughed out of town and everybody said, oh, you know these William F. Buckley types. And one of whom's in the documentary is still angry about it. He's like,
he wanted to leave the cars outside of town. Fucking idiot, you know, like we have the cars in town in this country, in this country, you know what I mean. So I don't know who this fucking guy thinks he is. But anyway, and it was just so interesting because he was right. The idea was that there would be these giant car parks or like you know, like a car garage just that we're also kind of beautiful that he built all around the city. Everybody would walk from them into the city.
So there would do you know, cars, it's just waiting there for some somebody to put it together and become incredibly popular. But it's it's just wild that like that that would be so popular with young people, it'd be popular with with the elderly who like can't really drive at this point. But it's like that mainstream money making commerce you know, Albatross like it. There's gotta be a like if one city pulls it off, like it will
become such a like tourist hotspot. Like I would just like go there all the time just to like experience a city without cars. That would be fucking wonderful.
They've been to the Grove.
The Grove is the best example, the closest we have to this in the US.
It's incredible. And they have like an Eiffel Tower that she sparks out of it and stuff. Yeah, growth, stunning, stunning. That's why we should have elected Caruso.
Thank you, all right, that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if you like. The show means the world de Miles he he needs your validation, folks. I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will talk to him Monday.
