He's going to just tell us about his reasonable positions. Yeah.

It almost sounds like he's talking shit, like he's about to beat us up. That's what you took from it. Yeah. It almost sounds like he's talking shit like he's about to beat us up. That's who you took from him? Yeah. He's like, Californians are reasonable peoples. All I got to do is talk to them. Right. That's mafia shit. We're going to talk about the squad, except white women.

The white woman squad. We're going to talk about Weinstein's appearance at court doing a cartoonish, like, feel sorry for me act. We're going to talk about the Aladdin spinoff that no one asked for. Live action Aladdin spinoff. Oh, boy. If you can guess what character they decided to spin a movie off of. The genie, obviously. Right.

Yeah, that's what you would think, right? Yeah. But first, Lacey, we like to ask our guest, what's something from your search history that's what you would think right but first lacy we like to ask our guests what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are okay and my search history is the movie acrimony it's a tyler perry movie and um it's very very bad and i i recommend that everybody watch it when did it come out uh it came out in 2018 and it actually came out in movie theaters. And I think, you know,

we spend so much time like talking about, you know, prolific cinema and things that are, you know, titillating and interesting in film. But like, there's something wonderful

about watching a movie that you know is bad. Oh, yeah. You know it's going to be bad. The editing is going to be, you know, very... Wow, editing. You're coming for the editing?

I'm coming for everything. Literally, there's like four scenes in this movie that are shot on a green screen. Where they're walking. They're walking and then nothing's moving in the back. And it's like a boat. And somebody in the boat, but the boat don't move. Are they doing like fake walking? Like just lifting your feet?

They're doing fake walking. Or not even on a treadmill to get the motion right? They're doing fake walking. Really? I'm watching this. This has Taraji P. Henson. Yes. That's the star of the movie.

It was the first time that Taraji P. Henson got paid over $500,000, and she was nominated for an Oscar, so Tyler Perry gave her the bag. Damn. He said he wrote this movie, I think in a week or something like that. Made it in a week. It shows. The movie makes no sense. The plot points make no sense.

There's a point where Taraji, I won't spoil anything, but she ends up on a boat. But you don't know how she got on the boat. And it is very funny. It's just confusing? No, it's just, so it's like she's very far away at a house. And then these people get on a boat and leave. And the boat has sailed off there in the middle of the ocean. And then all of a sudden, Taraji on the boat.

It's just like, if you want to. Where can I stream it? I hope that you can stream it on Netflix. I don't know if you can. You know what? I'll give Tyler Perry some iTunes money. Oh, it's Lionsgate. Do you have the Lionsgate app?

Is that an app? Lionsgate streaming app? Stop. I don't know. Don't give them any ideas. That's probably where we're headed. But no, I think that people should spend more time enjoying watching B-movies. You know what I mean?

Get on Netflix. Watch some of those B-movies. You know what I mean? Get on Netflix. Watch some of those B-movies. Damn. This right up from, I'm assuming, not a person of color, Variety Magazine. It kind of sums it up as, A ludicrously scattershot drama in which overwrote feminine rage, diary of a madwoman craziness, and inept filmmaking are all but inseparable. The movie costs, I think, $7 million.

No, let me see. It says $20. $20 million. It made $46. Boom. I'm shocked that it cost $20 million. I'm sure most of that was Tarasha's salary. Are you doing the books for them?

Is that why? Oh, yeah. This is going to cost. That scene where they're walking statically in front of a green screen. Yeah, that's going to cost $12 million. Okay, one can of chroma key green paint. That's about $42,000 right there. I'm painting the green screen.

I'm not even buying one. I'm charging my labor. It looks like a lot of the money went into the movie poster. Because the movie poster makes me want to watch this movie. Yeah, no. It's Taraji P. Henson with her legs crossed, sitting in a chair, just giving you. If you ever want to watch just like such a bad movie no i'm what this is it is chef's kiss horrible movie chef's kiss horrible uh what

is something you think is underrated something i think is underrated right now is weighted blankets um i don't know if you guys have one oh yeah but oh my god get a weighted blanket give it to your loved ones for christmas lug it lug it to them it is very heavy it is a heavy product mine is made of sand oh shit yeah and i mean i'm a single woman and it just feels like a man is laying on top of me every night. But the perfect kind of man, the one that when you get up. Made of sand. Mr. Sandman.

A man made of sand. Listen, a man made of sand will never hurt you. Exactly. Never lie or cheat on you. I just got that tatted. And when you're tired of that man of sand, you just take him off. Toss him away.

And you get up and you go about your day. And you know what? We're disregarding Spider-Man 3, if we're saying a man made of sand. Sorry. Who was that character? We're disregarding Spider-Man 3, if we're saying a man. Sorry. Oh, who was that character? Sandman. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah, that's very true.

When he got caught, he was just like, look, I'm going to go on the right path. I'll just make weighted blankets. This is like Sandman's docile cousin. Yeah. Right. I love a weighted blanket because I was just talking to somebody a few days ago about this, how my first introduction even to the concept was getting a dental x-ray. And when he put that lead vest on.

The lead vest inspired you? Yeah. I was like, I was weird. I was like, you know, even though I do not like the weird film strip I'm chewing on and they're going to blast the side of my head with x-rays. Yeah. The vest, I was like, this part's cool. That is such a strange sensation.

That like big piece of plastic. They're shoving it around. It's cutting up your cheek. Yeah. Like bite down. And they never try to make it more comfortable. But it's cutting my cheek yeah like bite down and they never try to make it more comfortable I fucking hate dentists

I'm sorry if you're a dentist out there but it just feels like they just let anybody get in your mouth yeah I've had so many bad dentists

have you had a dentist that I thought about going into dentistry have you had a dentist yet that lets you watch like DVDs no that's every dentist

no is that I feel like that's every dentist now like yeah you have the iPad and you can just watch movies. Yeah. I was like,

why did it take so long for them to figure this out? Well, my, I remember the evolution, shout out to Dr. Don Kobashigawa. Don Kobashigawa? Don Kobashigawa. Okay.

You guys have seen Miles' teeth? Yeah. They're all fucked up. This is good. No, the thing, sponsored content. He was saying that,

or not, he was saying, I remember in the 80s, he used to have a Walkman that you could listen to. And then it turned into a CD player. But it was all children screaming and drills? No, it was like radio. So I was just listening to like Kiss or Power. Okay, so he was the head of the gang.

Yeah, back then in the 80s. And then it turned into a CD player. Okay, then he had a Zoom. Yep. No, literally. Or it was like the Roxy, Rio Roxy MP3 player that looked like a CD player. Yep. No, literally. Or it was like the Roxy Rio Roxy MP3 player that looked like a CD player. And then the

chunky ass DVD player that had the fucking player built into the screen. And then now, I haven't been in the last couple years, but I'm assuming now when I was there, they had mounted TVs that you could just slide right in front of your face. That's right. That's dope.

Now, my dentist would just be talking to me. Sneezing in your mouth? Which I'm like, this don't make no sense. Like, I can't talk back. He'd be like, yeah, so how's work? I'd be like, oh, girl. Right. He's like, love you, Florida girls.

Right. Suction, please. Literally was sucking out of my mouth. No, I've had some really, really bad dentists. Jamie Loftus always talks about her Groupon dentist that sneezed in her mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all know that there's people doing dentistry at home?

What do you mean? Like home birthing, but for dentistry? No, I saw on Facebook that people was like, I do braces. Like I do braids? I do. Usually is what you're used to. I do braids. Now it's I do braces.

No, there's a woman. I'll find the pictures. With like unbent paper clips? No. I do braids. No, there's a woman. I'll find the pictures. With like unbent paper clips?

No, they're buying the brackets off the dark web, honey. And doing braces at the crib. I do braces. I do braces. Wow. Let me see some discounts. Yeah. What are the price points? Break it down.

Yeah, you got to be able to take a huge risk if you're just going to somebody's car. Absolutely. And this dentist looks a lot like you, Lacey. Okay, listen. I went to dental school. Okay. I'm waking up and this dentist looks a lot like you, Lacey. Okay, listen. I went to dental school. Okay. I walked in the building. I went there.

What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Okay, I'm gonna get slammed for this one. I don't know if anybody said this yet, but a marriage story.

Oh, nobody has said it yet on this show. I think the internet has said it. I watched it. Unlike when I talked about internet has said it. I watched it. Unlike when I talked about the Joker and I had not watched it. I still haven't watched the Joker and I never will. But I did watch a marriage story.

And I think what everyone is finding so dynamic about it is that it shot like a play. And I'm like, people, people been doing plays forever. Right. Some might say even before films. You know, some would say, some would say before films. You know, some would say. Some would say before films. I would wager to say that. Because there's like scenes where it's like six minutes long and it's like uninterrupted or like steadicam shots.

And it's like, you know, they're walking around and they're going in the bathroom, but they're not filming in the bathroom. And they're coming out. And it's a play. Right. It's like if you shot a play with a camera. Some call that a movie right we've come a long way

in the circle but we're like no edit you know what I mean like not the cutaways yeah yeah yeah just a lot of long cuts basically yeah yeah yeah

and I'm not gonna take anything away I mean Adam Driver is the sexiest ugly man I've ever seen and I'll take nothing away from him he is a fantastic actor

and I thought you know Scar Jo you know she brought her Mother Willow essence to this role. What has everybody so, I know it's being talked about.

I have no interest in seeing it, but I know many people are, is it just because of the two of them? They like Adam Driver. It's the style, it's the shot,

it's the story. I think it's falling into what I told y'all was my favorite drama, which is rich white people being sad. Right. Did you see it?

Yes. And it is very much in the wheelhouse of rich white people if you get off to succession yeah you'll write this movie too yeah trying to find this tweet that was criticizing it it's literally like oh this rich actor who owns a theater company his wife who was like gonna be a big star but then she had went to be with him and then they decide to get a divorce and then obviously the divorce get ugly nothing is new nothing is surprising right you will not be shocked you will there's no twist there's no turn right i guess it is a slice of life but it's a slice of life that i've seen so many times before right so this uh person on twitter uh racially diverse is their Twitter handle. Just so you know.

At Sharia Prelaw tweeted, knowing that Marriage Story is about the director's own divorce makes it so much funnier that the plot is that Adam Driver is getting divorced because he's too successful and interesting to be a good husband. Which it is like a biographical movie about a divorce, right? Yeah, and that's literally what it is. I mean, then there's a lot of people who are shitting all over that scene where they're like taking it to 11 on a scale one to ten oh yeah there's a scene you can see it on twitter where they're in a house

and they're having um very much like an acting class style argument right um where it's like we just arguing we're not doing anything else. When you got your line, I'm waiting for you to finish. Right. And you know, Charlize doing her, or not Charlize, excuse me,

I will not disrespect Charlize Theron like that. She is a queen. But you know, Scar Jo doing her neck acting. You know, you look at her neck when she acts,

she'd be bulging it and flexing it. Like a bullfrog? Okay. I'm just gonna turn this on a little bit so you can hear it. You hated me it you hated me

you fucked somebody we worked with you stopped having sex with me in the last year it's that for two and a half minutes of them just yelling at each other you described it perfectly like an acting class scene that's what everybody's like if you've ever been to an acting class this is like

and everyone's like oh my god this is amazing i'm like now y'all know every scam acting class in hollywood is doing this damn thing if you've seen barry you already know what time it is honey you can learn enough yeah yeah but also i'm just like this is what happens when you suppress diversity like black people only get to do movies about like our movies that are critically acclaimed are either us being horrible, terrible people. We got to be slanging drugs. Or surviving the most awful treatment.

Or we got to be slaves. Yeah. And that's what I said about Lupita Nyong'o getting snubbed by Golden Globes. Like, her performance in Us just wasn't transformative enough because by the end she was still black. Right. She should have became a white lady. Oh, man. So.

She should have became a white lady When you got the old folks home Voting on new movies and shows Things get lost I've always said that about Denzel's Oscar He never won until he played Somebody who was on drugs Killing people Yeah, Training Day

And Holly Berry He won for Training Day He got nominated for Malcolm X But but then lost to Al Pacino. Did he also get nominated for the one where he was the coked out pilot? He did get nominated. He didn't win. Nom, nom. But here's the thing, though.

As a black, I'm not saying that we shouldn't be able to play the, you know how a lot of people are black. I'm not saying we shouldn't be able to play those, you know, the crackhead or the ratchet person. I'm a very ratchet character on Florida Girls. And I love it. It's very fun. All I'm saying is that I'm tired of, like, everything having to be in the white gaze when it comes to, like, critically acclaimed movies.

Sure. Like, slice of life, you know, things. But also, this movie Marriage Story, very boring. Mm-hmm. Watch Acrimony instead. Watch Acrimony instead. Yeah, watch Acrimony instead. Look, Acrimony knows it's bad, and it makes no qualms about it.

Is it about a divorce? Yes, actually. So there you go. Watch Acrimony instead of marriage story. Acrimony over marriage story. What is a myth? What's something people think is true that you know to be false? Okay, I know y'all are all probably tired of talking about this, but I'm mad about this

still, and I'm petty. Peloton commercial? No, not the Peloton commercial, even though that shit was hilarious. Oh, my God. That poor woman. She's getting her shine, though. She was on the Today Show. You talk about a commercial actor coming up, honey.

Hopefully she can parlay that into some speaking roles. Might be some U5 work in the beginning. You know, listen. She might start skyrocketing. Yeah, yeah. So, myth. Plastic straws. might be some u5 work you know listen she might she might start like skyrocketing yeah yeah um so myth plastic straws are really like banning them is really like helping the environment um interesting yeah so it is helping in a in a small way but here are five things that are worse than plastic straws for the environment oh okay, okay. This is how you're hitting this. Okay. Balloons.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all doing them ceremonies where you send the balloons up to the heavens and stuff? Stop doing that shit. Also, just stop having balloons. Well, we're also running out of helium. We are.

So it's like double fold. And it's plastic. Like, balloons is trash. Plastic bags. Like, California has done this. Like, we're trying to ban plastic bags, which is trash because I be having to leave walgreens with like 35 items in my hands um looking like i stole the shit um but plastic bags are doing way more harm to the planet than plastic straws and they don't you know they're not biodegradable they're filling up the oceans and landfills cigarette butts yeah yeah yeah yeah so if you're out there you're not sucking on that plastic straw, but you're sucking on that Philip Morris.

Yeah. You're ruining the planet. Fishing gear. I'm talking to you, Long John Silver. Like fishing line and stuff? It's like big commercial fishing. Oh, sure, sure, sure. They wilding out there.

Ain't nobody in the ocean looking at them. And maritime law is chill as fuck. They just out there throwing everything in the ocean. Yeah, maritime law is sort of like, well, if we catch them, like well if we catch them right that's why you put casinos on water so much of the shit that is like bad and like the bad uh litter in the ocean is a lot of fishing line yeah and plastic bottles obviously we all knew that one right but so you know what i mean like polyethylene bottles right bottles as we call them in Japan. Yeah. So I'm like, look, I get it.

Plastic straws are bad. But can we start aggressively banning the stuff that's actually hurting the planet more than plastic straws? What are you, some kind of revolutionary? Either that or come up with a better alternative to plastic straws than the paper ones. I had a bamboo one recently. Bamboo is good. That one was pretty good. But start using those.

The paper ones should just not exist. But it's also a classist thing because it's like what if you're a small mom and pop and you can't afford that sexy bamboo and that bamboo is good. Great mouthfeel. Great mouthfeel. And then you start chewing on it at the end. The fibrousness.

Fibrosity. Fibrosity. Alright, we're going to take a quick break. We're going to be right back after this. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,

these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player,

devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved you mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked voila you got straight away i felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

And Mayor Pete appeared on one of the morning shows. I think CBS This Morning. CBS This Morning. Yeah. Yesterday morning. It was something else he the dynamic power duo of pete budaj and lizzo um they did this okay so in the beginning gail king is trying to really create a fun little promo uh and just listen to this glorious interaction uh between two just the greatest minds of this year.

Mr. Mayor, what are three words that would best describe you? Standing near Lizzo right now. That's five words. Lizzo. Very good. What are three things that would best describe you? Blanderous, talented, and a booty full. As we all learned recently. Mr. Mayor, have you had any DNA tests lately?

Yes, and I am 100% that nominee to lead the way to the position. I was a little nervous. Where is he going with that? Where is he going with that? We've got a lot to discuss. This has never happened before. He said he was 100% that what? That nominee to take the country forward.

But he did swallow the punchline because he was like, this feels very uncomfortable to me. Quoting his, I am 100% that nominee. He's like, I was like, this feels very uncomfortable to me. Quoting me is, I'm 100% at nominee. He's like, I don't like those improv lobs to me. Don't just set me up like that. Just 100% the next president. That would have been actually kind of cute, even though. Well, when you have no swag, you just have to be like quite literally 100% the next Democratic nominee who will actually get through the primary process and then move on to the general election in which he will defeat

Donald Trump in the general. Pete, you're still talking. 100%. And then they issued a picture of Pete next to Lizzo. It's from his Instagram. It's from his Instagram. He's smiling. He really looks like the dude on the cover of Mad Magazine.

But she is making it clear I'm not sponsored. I don't endorse this. Oh, she's not into it. She is not into it. And then I have another picture of them where Gayle is in it, and she's all the way on the opposite side of Pete. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they didn't want him to stand next to her because she's so tall in stature. Oh, he would have looked small. They probably wanted to save him to be like, he'll look tiny. And then one-dimensional misogynistic voters would be like, can't vote a tiny man. Is she six feet tall? I don't know how tall Lizzo is.

I mean, she's probably working heels. She's probably like in heels and all types of stuff. I mean, also though, like even if Lizzo did endorse Mayor Pete. 5'10". Yeah, she's 5'10". He makes her look like she's like 6'3". Right. He's Mr. Tumnus.

Yes. But even if Lizzo did endorse Mayor Pete, that wouldn't be the black vote. No. Lizzo doesn't represent the black vote. Like that's kind of a controversy, right? Or not a controversy, but people say that it's like... I stamp, like I really do like Lizzo. Is she like for, you know, 30-year-old white soccer moms?

Absolutely. Right. But I love her music, but that's not quintessentially like what we would call like you know somebody who's in the struggle or even just like

in the culture you know like she around the culture but she not you know what I mean Megan Thee Stallion is in the culture right

but Pete Buttigieg has never heard of Megan Thee Stallion has never heard of Megan Thee Stallion and Young Miami I want a picture of Pete Buttigieg has never heard of Megan Thee Stallion. He's never heard of Megan Thee Stallion. And Young Miami. I want a picture of Pete Buttigieg with Young Miami, Megan Thee Stallion, and I want him to be holding $50,000 in money up to his ears.

Did you see his campaign's remake of the DaBaby music video? No. No, he's fucking around. I'm just joking. Oh, I was about to say, please, I believed you, though. It's him with jabberwockies. Yeah, I need Mayor Pete to sit down

because he literally is polling 0% with black people and it is going to stay that way in perpetuity. But he's stealing all of Elizabeth Warren's voters. Yeah, well. He's going to do well in those early states of Iowa and New Hampshire. It's still Joe Biden's race. Which is crazy. His time, he it's still Joe Biden's race. Which is crazy.

His time, he's not moving. He's fixed. Liberals don't understand that by voting for Joe Biden, we're essentially doing what racists did with Trump. We're just being like, any old white man will do. I think even so many people are just overly focused on that it has to be ending Trump. Yeah. But they're not really realizing. This is the thing that I liked about what Kamala Harris was saying towards the end of her campaign is that justice is on the ballot.

That it's not simply about defeating him. We are at a crossroads as a country where we need to start doing the right thing. And Joe Biden has indicated he has no interest in doing anything substantive to create more equality or a more equitable economic system for anybody. Right. I actually talked to Kamala Harris the week before she dropped out the race. I know, we know. You put the curse on her, huh? No, don't say that because everybody was saying that.

I know, they're like, what'd you say to her? Yeah, when she dropped out the race, literally people were tweeting me and adding me on Instagram. They were like, what did you do, Lacey? I was like, I didn't do nothing to that lady. Your post was very like, you were like, I listened to her. I will look more into this. Yeah, it was very tepid.

Just because her prosecutorial record is just so trash. And she won't talk about it. I think if she had gotten in front of it instead of trying to act like we were going to forget. Like, we weren't going to forget, sis. She just tried to have it both ways. Even Michael Bloomberg clumsily apologized for stopping Frisk. Right. Although, it ended up looking real stupid.

Michael Bloomberg, sit your ass down. Well, he's, man, with his full, you're starting to see him, what, he's like at 5% now? Like, legitimately, Bloomberg. Yeah. Yeah, because. He's in there. All those fucking ads. You should see the power of just reinforcing a message over TV. Yep. Yeah, because he's in there. All those fucking ads. You should see the power of just reinforcing

a message over TV. Yep. That'll do it. Alright, let's talk about the current president. Because he was not pleased that he did not get that Time Magazine Person of the Year award. What a fucking baby.

Greta, a child got it instead. A 16 year old. And he just started sniping at her. He's 73 a fucking baby. Greta, a child, got it instead. A 16 year old. And he just started sniping at her. He's 73. He's 73. He's 73. He's the president of the United States of America. His wife

has a no bullying children campaign. And that's what he does, is bully everybody. And also, can you think, she was born one year before the apprentice started right like just even in the the timeline of his life how young this person is who's you know out here really making it a cause for her to to make uh action around climate change like a real campaign um so yeah naturally they're like hey kudos to you greta right and then he's out here retweeting like someone with a cover who tweeted about the cover saying so ridiculous. Greta must work on her anger management.

It's capitalized like a proper noun. Right. Her anger management problem. They go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend. Chill, Greta. Chill. Wait, was that a sponsored post from the movie Anger Management? Yeah.

With Adam Sandler? Because he capitalized Anger Management and then go to a movie. An old-fashioned movie. Shout out to Adam. Get that coin. I also hate that this is such a dog whistle for women. Anytime a woman wants to speak up about

something, she's angry. And I'm like, this is a baby. This girl is 16 years old. You are an old, nasty man. And he's already threatened by her anger. He's already scared of her. Well, it all goes back because he first started taking shots at her when she addressed the UN. Right.

And was very direct about how y'all are just patting yourselves on the back, acting like you're doing something, and you are not. It's all still in service of these massive industries. Her freedom to speak her mind to the un probably like makes him so jealous that means she's so angry and she's out of control right um and then she her response was she changed her twitter bio to a teenager working on her anger management problem currently chilling and watching a good old-fashioned movie with a friend oh did she yeah that's her twitter bio i love it i love the petty i stand a petty queen it's i mean the sad part is is that there's really nothing that donald trump really might as well just go shoot somebody on fit the f at this point because we're gonna let him get away with pay it off yeah like it's pop off or not pop off's gun uh who's who Whose gun is it? Popov is cheap vodka. Yeah.

And Popov is from Bad Girls Club. Bad Girls Club. Oh, yes. I love that. Popov. Anyways, that Russian writer's gun. He introduced it at the beginning of his... Chekhov. It's like Chekhov's gun.

He introduced it at the beginning of his presidency. He might as well do it. Might as well go out there, shoot somebody, prove that he can get away with it with it and also in what world did he think that he was gonna be person of the year because he was once he was i mean he but it wasn't for a good no but he's still in his mind it's a it's a cover it's but it's also not an honor always like sometimes it's just like sometimes it's hitler sometimes it's stalin like some and him one year because he, I mean, to be honest, he always dominates the fucking news cycle because that's just, like, he's hacked the matrix of our current existence.

I love that he's like, all press is good press. He's like, I don't care if I'm boogeyman of the year, I just want to be on Time magazine. I'm on the cover of straight triz ash magazine right uh let's talk about the tennessee state house yeah because they have a bust of one nathaniel bedford forest if you remember forest gump yes he's named after this man nathaniel bedford forest and then he's like and then he started the ku klux klan right which is a club yeah sick ass club uh for sick ass people um so yeah in the state house it's been really contested they're

like we need to actually like why do we have this in the state house uh we should remove it uh because only in 2019 i guess they're realizing whose bust is in the state house and a lot of people were saying we're criticizing this Republican in the state legislature's name, Representative Jeremy Faison. He was saying like, yeah, I think maybe we should move it. And a lot of people were saying, he was saying, I fundamentally reject any notion by someone saying that moving him to the museum is trying to whitewash history. Because a lot of people were saying like, why would you move this out of the state house? It should stay here.

You're trying to change history. And he says, if we want to preserve history, then let's tell it the it the right way right now there are eight alcoves in the capital seven are filled with white men how about getting a lady in there my and then this is where it starts getting interesting my daughter is 16 and i would love for her to come into the capital and see a lady up there what's wrong with ann dallas dudley getting in that alcohol or in that alcove and then also say he's a women's suffrage activist in that from nve. And then also saves a women's suffrage activist from Nashville. And then what's wrong with someone like Dolly Parton being put in the alcove? Okay.

And many people are like, okay, you know what? That's actually a good idea. That is a good idea. Anybody but the founder of the Ku Klux Klan. Yeah. And who hates Dolly Parton? Yeah, that's true. Dollywood.

Wait, Faison is a Republican? Yeah. Tennessee Republican. And you know what happened, right? How did he get this idea? Okay, whoa, sir. What happened? You know how he came to this realization?

By talking to a black lawmaker. What? G.A. Hardaway, an African-American lawmaker from Memphis, asked Faison if he had ever read any of Forrest's own writings about his ideology. The East Tennessee Republican began a process of understanding what he describes as the pain of Forrest's own writings about his ideology. The East Tennessee Republican began a process of understanding what he describes as the pain of Forrest's legacy. And now he believes it should be removed. I mean, what if other Republicans were just like,

oh shit, I had never even thought about that, man. That ignorant? Yeah, they're just like, oh hell, I didn't even think about it. What could he have read, right? Right. Unless you really think the Ku Klux Klan is a- He just read the dude's own words. That's what he was like.

Right, right, right. Have you read his shit? But you should be like, do you know what the Klan is? Right. I don't think you need to read the words to know what the Klan is. Yeah, the Klan is a very popular reputation. They got strong branding. They were kind of like the first Jabberwockies.

Uniform. Oh, God. They got strong branding. They were kind of like the first Jabberwockies. Uniform. They took their whole swag. They got uniforms. Uniforms. You don't know who's who. They got symbolism. The burning cross. That's what I had to think.

I'm also curious. In the most sincere version, I'd like to think that he goes to a library, opens the book, and there's a scene where his jaw just drops. And he's like, what? What if that's all it took? They just were just like, oh, shit. It's just disingenuous. You think this is being disingenuous?

Of course. How could you? Like, logically, Jack, first, you would have to presuppose that you have no idea what the Ku Klux Klan stands for. Right. But I'm just... If you don't... What is his endgame, I guess I'm wondering.

Like, if he's now pretending like he just found out about this shit. Because that way you can absolve yourself from making all the poor decisions that you made beforehand. That's like asking any black person in America, like, do you know who Martin Luther King is? And you're going to be like, who? Martin Luther the King? Martin Luther King is? And people are like, who? Martin Luther the King? Martin Luther King from... Was he an actual king? Like, you knew, bro.

Like, everybody knows about the Klan. They have great advertisement. Their marketing is, like, impeccable. I guess I'm just so surprised that someone who's still an active politician, Republican, Tennessee, is admitting this shit. Quite literally the bare minimum you could do. The very, very minimum. And then also acting like it was a process

that you had to research to come to the conclusion that Klan bad. Right. Klan bad. Look, I went on their website. Wait, hold on. Klan bad? Wait a second. Okay, there were a few murders, but those could have been individuals. And then as I looked into it more.

I think Watchmen gave him a bad rap. Yeah. He just watched Watchmen for the first time. He's like, wait a second. Y'all ain't seen a clan in the soup kitchen? Although I do think Watchmen probably woke some people up with that first episode about Tulsa. Oh, for sure. Some people were like, wait, that was real?

Yeah. Everybody thinks black people made that up. It's crazy how much black history white people have convinced us that we made up.

Yeah, or it's just erased. Hollywood is fucking up if they don't make that an entire movie in the next couple years because Jesus Christ. Just more document,

whatever you got to do. Yeah, whatever the fuck you got to do. Learn about our sordid history but I do like to think about this man like going on

the Klan website like with his glasses half on like finger like honey picking style on the keyboard like oh what does the

Klan does the Klan have a website yes they do I've been on it really yeah like your image

has been on the website yes I have they're actually big fans. Big fans of Scam Goddess. They're like, hey, Scam Goddess, check this one out. They're like, we'll let this one Negro live. We love her sense of humor. Let's talk about Bloomberg.

You guys are all voting for him, right? We can all agree on that. Oh, yeah. I love doing that. I'm voting for her to be shot to the moon. So Mike Bloomberg made it clear he's not really focused on a lot of the early states that have their primaries. He's got his eyes on the prize, the big ones. So, yeah.

So he's thinking California where what, like Bernie, I think, is like getting Bernie is leading astronomically. Yes. He believes that his like near antithetical political ideology will resonate with these with the voters of this state. The man did stop and frisk. Yeah. And he's coming to Cali. When he gets there, he's barnstorming, doing his thing. He says, why do I think California would vote for somebody like me?

Because Californians understand nothing's simple. You have to have real solutions. And you have to have evolutionary rather than revolutionary change. This is a great state. It's got a great economy. It doesn't want to throw away what it has. It just wants to make it more available to more people. There's no reason why I can't explain to people what I want to do.

He actually just made the case for why he absolutely should not be in California. Because things are too good already. That's what we do is revolutionize. We legalize weed. We ban plastic bags. We are revolutionary. Yeah, there's a lot of, yeah. I mean, there's a few states that sort of,

when we make laws that helps the rest of the country sort of move forward a bit. Right. But I think with him, this idea, again, it's the whole evolutionary rather than revolutionary thing of just saying, it's just a light version of being like, not too much change. Right. You know what I mean?

We don't want to fully go from tadpole to full-grown frog. And we're fully the most radical, probably, of all 50 states when it comes to change. Maybe he's thinking of California when he's going to his rich white billionaire parties. Oh, almost definitely. He's thinking of Sonoma. He's thinking of Sonoma. Yes. And Napa Valley. He's thinking of Sonoma and Napa Valley. California is full of bubbles.

California is very bubbly. Right. Whenever I'm in Marina Del Rey. And then this is what he said when they said, okay, again, everyone asked about stopping first because most of the time he's like, oh, I felt it was a bad idea. Like, when did you realize that? Because it only seems like you realized it when you announced you wanted to run for president. Right. Yeah.

And he goes, well, nobody asked me. Why do we have to ask you? That's just my homeboy who didn't know the claim. So then he says, he goes, the policy we had, I've apologized for because in the end, it turned out we could have done something different. But people want results. I don't think there's anybody in California that doesn't

think the objective of bringing down the murder rate, particularly in poor communities, isn't a good idea. So he's still fucking trying to defend it. Like, he almost went there and then was just like, but people wanted, they wanted results. Oh, so I'm bad because I was trying to bring crime down by harassing black and brown people? Like, also, it wasn't about murder. It literally was about harassing black people with no probable cause. Like, he's like, look, everybody does hates the blacks.

And what better way to get rid of them than stop and frisk yeah do the thing you wish you could do right like i bet they have drugs or something and then again like we always said that that whole era only found that many of the white people that they stopped actually had contraband on them or drugs and things like that more than even the proportionate to the people of color that were stopped i can't believe that he still tried to defend any logic behind that well Well, you have to, I think. I just want Michael Bloomberg to have a rally. You know what, Mike? Mikey, pull up to California.

Yeah. And we need to go beat his ass. I want him to come to a rally, and I want us to stomp him out. And they just released their 2020 slogan, Bloomberg 2020, nothing simple, and I already apologize for that. It doesn't seem like that.

I think that's going sing man that's gonna work for yeah just i already apologized bro what the fuck not too much change oh you want me to like out loud tell people i had a realization about a backwards policy i had as a mayor that was completely fucked up and he didn't even have that realization he was just like people are mad oh my oh okay um never mind then it's not like he just made any real you know discovery as to why it was bad nothing simple is really revealing about like how he that this is an actual problem with how america thinks about billionaires we're like well he's like a billionaire he must understand the economy and she's basically being like nothing simple just leave it to me because i get this i know how to move money and the thing that billionaires are

doing when we let them just like figure shit out on their own and like determine the policies that our country has is they're stealing money from the rest of us yeah that's what they do well and you looked at that income curve for like the top what is it five or ten percent plus working people how it just went exponentially higher while everyone else's income stayed static yeah they're like no no we're gonna fucking drink your whole fucking milkshake yes capitalism has tricked us in this disgusting way where it's like we're fighting amongst each other while we watch billionaires rob us and then they have the fucking nerve to try to govern us. It's the same thing with whenever we talk about minimum wage

and you see people who are living paycheck to paycheck who are one medical emergency away from literally being homeless, but they on Twitter talking about, you don't deserve $15 an hour for flipping burgers at McDonald's. Why don't you? They're like, paramedics get paid $14. That's not good either. Exactly.

And there's another thing. I think the numbers may be slightly off, but like 44% of full-time employed people are making less than $18,000 a year. So you want to talk about all this employment shit. 40%? Yes. It's something ridiculous. Yeah.

Like America's really tricked us into thinking that we're supposed to just work ourselves until we fucking die. And we started in school. What's your dream job? What's that we're supposed to just work ourselves until we fucking die. And we started in school. What's your dream job? What's the way you want to die on the job? Right. Right. Little girls and boys.

What type of labor would you like to do when you grow up? Forklift accident. Forklift accident. Like what are we doing? Oh, that's so evocative. I'm just picturing fatal forklift accidents. Oh, God. And none of them are pretty. It's so evocative. I'm just picturing fatal forklift accidents. Oh, God. And none of them are pretty.

It's so dark. Let's talk about the squad, though, because there was a Fox News chyron that makes me... I'm not scared. That's for certain. Almost a little pity. But anyways, it's four white women on a stage sitting down and it says in quotes conservative squad to combat socialism uh again this squad okay all have blonde hair except for one well when you look at diversity yeah well when you look at what the squad really is uh that they

wanted to co-opt hijack appropriate of you, did you already say who was in the squad? No, I didn't. Well, anyway, y'all know. Teosi, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley. And they've been the ones who have been getting a lot of coverage because they came in on a wave that was much more progressive, liberal than the existing members of Congress. So naturally the right-wing media has focused on them and sort of like, look at these socialist fucking crusaders.

They're so jealous of them. Uncle Sam's beard or whatever the fuck they think is going to happen. So now these four brave women have come forward. Jessica Taylor of South Carolina. And these are all candidates. No one holds office because, let's face it, they're, yeah. They're all candidates. Yeah, Beth Van Dyne and another woman from Minnesota, Michelle Fischbach.

They are, you know, they're really trying to be, they're trying to say that, you know, conservatism needs like a new face and that's what they're here to do. And just listen a little bit to like what their thinking is around like the squad and what the necessity is of this new white squad. Nancy, why is the squad important to you? Well, you know, if you look at my life, I got my start as a waitress at Waffle House. I became the first woman to graduate from the Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina 20 years ago. Today, I'm a businesswoman and state lawmaker running for the United States Congress.

And this is about our future. This is the American dream. And you see the Democrats, they've taken a sharp left turn under the influence of the socialist squad. And you look at us and this is socialism versus American values of freedom and job creation. And we all understand up here today that people flourish under freedom. And 2020 next year is pivotal for our country. And, you know, we see so many women across the country right now, Republican women, who are picking up the mantle and want to serve. They say enough is enough. My kids and my country are worth fighting for. And that's what this is about, essentially. Because AOC is coming for your kids.

Also, you just ripped off her whole storyline, sis. Like, AOC was a waitress, and y'all made fun of her for that. Now you're going to come out here and talk about, I was the waitress at the Waffle House. It's super pathetic because, like, so the progressive populist energy is young, diverse, and feminist, so it makes sense that they have women, like, young women who are the squad. And they're diverse.

There's one- Right, and they're diverse there's one right they're diverse the conservative populist energy is old white racists and misogynists so like they this is just them trying to do what the well just the binary that they were even presenting was sort of like you have the socialist squad and then you have us the women who care about american values and it's like the four white women yes it's just like, we understand what you're trying to say. We get it, okay? There are too many brown people

who actually know enough about how governance works. Right, and they're popular. And they're trying to change things. They're clapping back on Twitter. Right. They're pretty cute. Yeah.

They're like, well, where are our cute, popular women? And it's funny because they take the superficial aesthetic of it because they've always been jealous of the mobilization that the squad has had and rebrand it.

But I think what's wild about this is that they're literally just trying to. It's like when Melania Trump took Michelle Obama's speech word for word. It's the exact same thing. It's like this is working. So we're going to do it, but we're going to do it white. And not as good and not compelling because it's completely motivated by that has always worked for white people like they've vultured off of our culture for forever and made it seem original the thing that it reminds me of is this whole thing like the whole copycat thing that the right has to do with the left okay the left they want to take shots on

their late night tv shows well here's our conservative version of a late night tv show that will take shots at them like they want to get together like they want a squad then we'll rip off the squad like they just really it really is just trying to be like okay well we have our version too that's not nearly as compelling and so transparently just fucking i don't know it's just desperate it truly is and it's also very you know what i think that they don't realize what doesn't work about them isn't that the branding or that they're like not you know a squad or whatever it's that your values are hate yeah like i don't know how you make that cute they're the ain't shit squad that's really what it is there's nothing they're saying that's remarkable look you've heard how empty everything

they said was i didn't hear anything substantive in terms of fighting for our kids what bitch what does that mean you know people flourish under freedom right what does that mean yeah i'm sorry what is it yeah i'm like what are you doing for wage workers like what is your take on health care right or people who are like in these post-industrial sections of the of the country like trying to figure out how they're going to reboot their economies and things like that right it's just hey we're here for uh good old american values very nebulous because we don't really have any idea what that should be we're just saying vote white right also like if all the people of color just massively decided like you know i don't know let's leave let's go right this country would still be in shambles there would still be a huge class problem people would still be dying there still wouldn't

be jobs the opioid crisis would still be killing white people so like i don't know why this fantasy of like people who don't look like you are killing you is just still so fucking popular. Yeah. Yeah, it's that one song that the country loves to play. Yeah. All right. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. with the image of... It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch.

As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family

and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away.

Listen to In Our Own World as a part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back and harvey weinstein's back in the news showing up at a court date looking like he's playing a character like he he's like hunched over with a walker with tennis balls on the walker stop well that's how you know it's legit. That's theatrics. I love it.

Yeah, well, you love a scam. I hate Harvey Weinstein, but I do love theatrics. You respect the scam. You have to look at the scam objectively. He put tennis balls on that shit. He trying to act like he poor. Right. Exactly.

What would a rich person with a walker have? Not tennis balls? Is there like a lit version you can buy that replaces the tennis ball thing? Wheels or like something that's not... They have professional looking stuff that acts like a tennis ball. That helps you get the glide on a surface. Yeah, that's like having earring backs that are pencil erasers. You know what I mean?

Yeah, it's makeshift stuff that you pull out of the garage because your walker doesn't have the bottom pad. Do you think he thought tennis balls would invite more pity? Yeah, and also probably more of a poverty luke. Right, but it's like you are a predator millionaire who has no problem smearing people, ending their careers, harassing them. We know how much money you have, Harvey Weinstein. How dare you try to show up to court in 18th century rags.

Right. He's like coughing. He's like, ah. He claims like coughing. He's like. Right. He claims his back. So first, when he first showed up like this, he was claiming his back has been bothering him. And he did have the good sense not to ask the judge for a massage during the thing. But the judge increased his bail to $5 million.

There you go. And told him he better not let his health get in the way of his January trial. So I do respect that. But now it looks like he might be like getting like settling for like millions and millions of dollars, like 20 something million dollars with the victims and more power to whatever the victims want to do. But he's not paying that money.

That money is coming from the Weinstein Company's bankruptcy settlement. Oh, really? Yeah. Damn. So, I mean, I guess the only impactful thing would be jail. I mean, recently on Twitter, a bunch of comedians were kind of going up because he was invited to a comedy show. Yeah, I saw that in New York.

Where a bunch of women were. And it was just like, and then he was so upset that everyone was angry and was talking about him on stage. But I'm like, that needs to be the rest of your life.

If you're not going to go to actual jail, guess what? We're going to make life jail for you. Okay, we're going to make jail for you. Kick your walker out. Right. I'm going to kick them damn tennis balls

off that fake ass walker. You know you can walk. And I love that the judge was like, don't let your health get in the way of coming i just like i wonder if the judge saw weinstein was like this motherfucker all right five million man see you well like and cosby did that with the uh blindness thing right he started going blind he is blind but like he was well everyone has to play up an injury like wasn't r kelly has his toe his toe keeps hurting in jail and shit no i'm serious he serious. Is that true? He needed, like, toe surgery. Like, my toe.

Right. Huh. I mean, Weinstein does look like shit. I'd imagine it's stressful, but probably not as stressful as working in an industry lured over by a rapist who might, without warning, offer to give you everything you've always wanted in your career in exchange for rape. How about R. Kelly? It was a toe infection, and he lost his toenailail so he had to miss court oh shit yep because he had to

wear a surgical boot you could definitely go to court in a surgical boot no shit yeah but again i mean this shows you too the cowardice of these people who have no problem with their predation and like you know going after people in their public life or whatever it is but when it's time to be held accountable it's like oh my god accountable, it's like, oh my god. It's the same routine. Everyone has to do it. They pull out all the stops. Let me try and get a sympathy card, pity card, anything. It's crazy that they think that we would have

any sympathy for them. I think that's what is the most infuriating to most people who look at that image of him with a walker. And you're like, did you think that suddenly an objective person goes, oh, he's with a walker and you're like you did you think that suddenly an objective person goes oh he's in a walker you saw that email he sent yeah when he first thought when he first got caught up and he sent an email to his followers and was like guys i'm gonna sit

this one out for a couple months and just get my head right i'm really gonna focus on taking down trump because like trump people were mad about trump at that time uh and you know then then we're gonna like i'll be back and better than ever like i really learned my lesson thanks and good night and good luck oh just everyone's like wait you think that's that's it you think you're just gonna get away with it because you sent a apology a slightly apologetic email? The thing with Weinstein, the thing with all three of these motherfuckers actually is that they encountered litigious processes due to their actions way before they blew up in the Me Too movement.

They were paying settlements off to people. They were being sued. They had people coming out and talking about them. So it's crazy to me that they act like this is such a shock i'm like you've been doing you thought if you do anything long enough yeah right it will catch up to you well yeah and i think that's the part it's like a double-edged sword because you keep doing something long enough you begin to think you'll never get caught for it right and then it just starts ramping up and building on itself until you have a moment like a sea change

in culture with the me too movement and now suddenly when he used to be like i used to just be able to like fucking pay people off right shut the fuck up and now it's like i'm they want in jail yeah with my toe right with my toe no sir um yeah that's a really good point l Lacey, that he was so aggressive about finding out. He had tentacles everywhere. Just like, are they reporting on that? We got to find a way to kill that. So much of his time was focused. There were people employed.

Yeah. He had people employed who were just there to clean up his assaults. Right. Yes. To the point where Miramax was like, they were like, okay, well, only three a year, Harvey. Right. Three a year. Like, you gotta chill.

Like, we don't have a budget for this. Right. Like, when you have to budget in assaulting women, like, that is absolutely fucking insane. Yeah. And now he got it bad back.

Probably trying to go to court and be like, I couldn't have assaulted those women. Look how slow I move with my walker. Yeah. Like, ugh. Gross.

Yeah. But he knew exactly what he was doing, and he was thinking about it, scheming on it, spending his whole life building an infrastructure so he could do it. Now he got a metaphorical illness. Yeah, you are spineless. Kick out that walker. But that's not a physical thing.

Disney, the company that now are they the only company that makes movies anymore? I'm pretty sure they own everything all of them? They own me I got a back tattoo just up on the shoulder I got a little Disney back tattoo oh yeah an announcement next week the show will be

Walt Disney's The Daily Zeitgeist The Disney Zeitgeist. So they want to make an Aladdin spinoff. Off the movie that just came out? Off the live action Aladdin. So it came out, seems like it came out a few years ago. But it came out this year, 2019. It did well, right?

It made over a billion dollars at the box office. That's right. Cleaned up. it did well right it made over a billion dollars at the box office that's right so they're like okay this means let's start spinning this off into as many things as we can right so you think maybe it's the titular character Aladdin played by Aminah Mossad nope

and in fact that dude he just did an interview he said people think ah he must have made millions he must have made millions. He must be getting all these offers. It's none of those things. I haven't had a single audition since Aladdin came out. I'm sitting here being like, okay, Aladdin just hit one billion.

Can I at least get an audition? Damn. Will Smith weighed in with his version of Scientology, personal, spirituality, religion mixture, saying that show business is hard, quote, by design, like the universe, God, whatever

you believe. Wow, what a way to cleverly describe oppression within an industry. Oh, it's by design. I mean, that's true, though. It's like, this racism is by design. No, that's for sure. That's what show business is. Right.

So, in the most poorly timed announcement in history, The Hollywood Reporter published an article that Disney was working on an Aladdin spinoff for Disney+, all about Prince Anders. Who the fuck is Prince Anders? I already know that name. That's a Scandinavian person. That is a Scandinavian person.

He's a very white man. If you watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, there's that plot with the hot dude. He basically plays a hot dude. This dude always plays a hot dude. He is a funny performer. But anyways, he just plays a hapless like dummy prince this photo i've not seen the the film but just this image of to know that they go

this character needs his own show right it sounds like a fucking joke in the movie briefly he's added he's not in the cartoon he's added to the live action uh as just a foil Aladdin because like Aladdin needs somebody to compete for Jasmine's affection. And like there needs to be like the traditional prince that her father's trying to marry her off to. Who will she fuck? The actor is Billy Magnuson. And he just basically they were like, we want to be in the Billy Magnuson business, brother. You tell us what do you want? And he said, I don't know.

Andrew's character was fun. Maybe there's something there. And Disney was like, greenlit. So they're focusing on the one white character from Aladdin for the future of that franchise. Where will it take place? Like in wherever they're from? That's all they got.

Yeah, wow. The power of being in those spaces and being a handsome white man. You literally became a development executive by just saying, hey, that would be cool. Oh yeah, okay, great, man. Let's fire it up. That's like if the next Black Panther they were like, oh, let's make this movie

about that one white cop who was in the movie. That bounty hunter, like, what's up with Andy Serkis? So our writer... Wasn't it Andy Serkis who was the other bounty hunter? And we still gonna call it Black Panther, but it will be about this white man.

Right, it'll be Tim from the British office, like the CIA character. Let's make it about his travels through Africa. That's who people really resonated with. I think that was really one of the driving forces about the film. What the movie was about? Yeah, I think that really resonated.

JM, our writer, pointed out that this is something that's happening with female-centric movies. Like there was that Snow White movie, and then they spun it off to be Snow White and the Huntsman. Oh, right. With Chris Hemsworth. The star of Sicario was Emily Blunt, but the sequel, Sicario Day of the Soldado, starred her two male co-stars, and they were talking about kicking Kate Beckinsale out of the Underworld franchise.

Oh my God. I at least want them to be more on the nose with the titles. Like, in the Huntsman Snow White, I want it to be Snow White Man. Snow White Man. Snow White's man. She's a bit by a radioactive snow white.

Man's savior. Bad Mom spinoff, Bad Dads is supposedly getting tossed around this town. What do you mean? That's just dads. Yeah. Right. Exactly.

That's just going to be The Hangover. Right. A different title. Like, okay. There's so many movies about bad dads. Right. There's so much advertising. Do you see advertisement in California that's like, take time to be a dad today?

Yeah. All the time. Yeah. I've seen those ads so many times that I was like, take time to be a dad today. I've seen those ads so many times that I was like, damn. Men are so trash that we have to do advertisements and tell y'all to love y'all's children. I get kind of in my feelings

when I drive down Crenshaw and I see one and I'm like, okay. They got them in Franklin Village too though. They have them in the white spots too. The white dads are also bad. They're not doing too well. Yeah, that's a really... There was another one that was just so simple that just like speaking to your kid can even help,

like even if it's a baby. Right. What? Y'all didn't know? Like, okay. Is it that bad? I was thinking about like an episode of 90 Day Fiance. This dude, this Russian guy has a baby

and his wife keeps begging him to talk to the baby. But he's just like, he's always watching an iPad and the baby's just like in a chair and like not being stimulated. And he's like, what am I going to do? The baby's too dumb to learn stuff, basically was his take. He's like, the baby doesn't know enough. It's like, but you can still talk to your child. I just need society to do better. Like, I don't want to drive on Sunset Boulevard and see an ad that's like, dads, come home tonight.

Try not to be too drunk. Just two beers. You got your pack of cigarettes, didn't you? Right. So now it's time to head back. Dads, you got the milk. Come back. Come on back.

Come on home, dad. Come home, daddy. Oh, boy. Well, Lacey, it has been a pleasure as always having you. Yes, I love being here. Where can people find you, follow you? Guys, you can find me. You can always find me at D-I-V-A-L-A-C-I, Diva Lacey, on Instagram and on Twitter.

And guys, listen to my podcast, Scam Goddess. If you love scams. We were Spotify's pick of the year this year one of the picks of the year so that was super exciting um and that's scam goddess pod um and that's on all platforms and if you want to email me some scams that you've retired that's scam goddess pod at gmail.com oh and watch florida girls yes and uh i'll be on better call solid 2020 look we know what i was like what is she doing in New Mexico? And I'm back on single parents. So look for Sharon.

All right. Secure the baggage. The fuck up. Is the baggage secured in the overhead compartment? Listen, we're trying to get it. We're trying to get it. I'm trying to become a rich black billionaire. I'm going to be a good billionaire, though.

Then you can't be a billionaire. I know, right? I think that's impossible. Look, I'm only going to kill bad people. I'm going to be the Dexter of billionaires. What do you think the cutoff is at past which you can't have that much money without being like... Evil. Evil.

It depends. Like if you're philanthropic enough or you're actually actively using your influence to consistently create a better world for those less fortunate. I think that's one argument. Is it like J.K. Rowling's net worth? I don't know. What is she worth? Because she like debillionaire to herself like oh did she anyway yeah oh shit all right but of course only women do that right yeah i think it's just i think the part i mean to get back into it is it's when you realize that the the manner in which you've created your wealth is like if it's truly exploitative and i don't know how you get to sums that large unless it is.

Unless you're like making art that is so fucking lit. Then you're just money laundering. Yeah. Okay. There was a banana taped to a wall at Art Basel that sold for $120,000. That's drug money, baby. And then somebody put a Popeye's chicken sandwich on it. And then there were wage workers who were protesting outside

who taped bananas to themselves. And they're like, y'all are really paying $120,000 for a fucking banana tape to a wall while we're out here trying to be like, can I have a respectable income? It was a really powerful thing to see, like, a lot of these people having the bananas taped to themselves. He also did the 24-karat gold toilet. Oh, I love it. So he's doing that evocative art. I'm with him. Okay, so here are two tweets that I've been enjoying.

One is, the craziest part about Flavor of Love is that the prize... I just like that we brought up Flavor of Love. The craziest part about Flavor of Love is that the prize was Flavor Flav. In fact. That is very crazy. I was fighting for him. And then this comes back to the last time I was here, guys. We were talking about this.

Damn, how much daylight they trying to save. It's dark as a bitch. Like, how much daylight they trying to save. It really took me out. Very stingy with that daylight. Oh, and that was from the infamous Becks. And then the Flavor Flav tweet was from Papaya Yayo Angelo. Papaya Yayo Angelo. Papaya Yayo Angelou.

Okay. Miles, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Yeah, you can find me, follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey. Also, my new show, 420 Day Fiance, where we talk about my favorite trash show, 90 Day Fiance with Sofia Alexandra. Very elevated discussion, so the name is not just clever. So two tweets I like. Oh, so you guys get high? Fiance with Sophia Alexandra. Very elevated discussion. So the name is not just clever. Yeah. So two tweets I like.

Oh, so you guys get high? I get lifted. Lifted. Okay. I get that gas. Uh-huh. Smoking broccoli. Uh-huh.

Like it's nothing. Okay, so first tweet from Reductress. Tofu is gross, says mom while fisting a turkey's ripped out asshole. And then this is another one from at kill a cow and it's a it's it's a picture of dr manhattan john osterman it's june 24th 2011 i'm in a movie theater watching cars 2 in 10 minutes i will spill a can of baked beans if you watch the show he's constantly talking in this manner because he experiences time in a much different way simultaneously. And that's anyway for anybody who and I just like the idea of someone bringing baked beans into a movie theater.

That is insane. A couple of tweets I've been enjoying. Let's see here. Drill tweeted Santa. I know this is an odd request, but I believe with a little Christmas magic, anything's possible. I need you to shrink my dick by two inches Pandy Fackler tweeted Jeremy Irons but only when

Jeremy Winkley wow yep pixelated pixelated boat tweeted can't wait till the conservative media create their own anti Greta Thunberg and it's some little dipshit in a bow tie. He's out here.

And then a riff on a tweet that I already shared about Joe Pesci. At Honker3D tweeted, In 2001, I was 10. I ran into Joe Pesci at an airport and recognized him from my cousin Vinny. I scurried up to him and asked him if he was Joe Pesci. He looked nervous for some reason. His forehead was sweating. He handed me a brand new $100 bill and said

don't get on United 93. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist. We're at The Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We have a Facebook fan page and a website DailyZeitgeist.com where we post our episodes and our footnotes

where we link off to the information we talked about in today's episode as well as the song we ride out on. Miles, what are we riding out on? This is a track from Misled Children, but it's misled. Okay, so I have to go back there is a artist called clutchy hopkins that nobody knew who this person was if it was a group of people if it was one

producer one multi-instrumentalist there was another mixtape by misled children which was basically i think a pseudonym for whatever clutchy hopkins was people thought it was the beastie boys just playing instruments other people thought it was dj Shadow or DJ Newmark or Cut Chemist. They still don't know to this day. But this track, all the tracks are really vibey instrumental things, sometimes with live instruments, sometimes it could be some samples cut together. But this track is called 1010 by People's,

off the album People's Market from Missed Love Children. What number song is it on the album? 10. All right. Yeah it on the album? Ten. All right. Yeah, that's a clever name.
