What do you want? What do you want for your birthday? You have a good... When's your birthday? December 31st. New Year's Eve, baby. So this one... Did you have a kind of birthday this time or you think this next year this is the one?

No. Well, I had... It was my 40th birthday this last one. Oh, shit. Okay. And my friends made me a Counting Crows video. I mean, a bunch of my friends sang Long December and cut it together. And I watched I was alone in a hotel room, but I had a Zoom party. It was weird, but fun. You know, it's something I'm never gonna forget for sure. Did anybody have Adamwitz dreads in the video okay yes one person did and i think it was probably not okay because it was a white man

he did like he he like he didn't wear them you know he did it with a computer yeah but then look you're imitating of the problematic adam der Adam Berowitz. You're honoring the source material. Unless he's like, no, Amy, I've been growing these. They tried to contact him many times because for a birthday message or to be in the video. Because, you know, we're all from the East Bay. So like they did have connections they could call in and then he didn't respond. And then someone was like, oh, he's on cameos. We can just pay him 150 bucks.

And so he made a cameo for my 40th. And he said, please stop having your friends contact my dad. Oh, really? I didn't know about any of it. So personal. I love it. That's amazing. Yeah, it was a weird birthday. But is it just because you guys share kind of area of origin or are you a big cannon

crows? Crowhead. I guess I am a pretty big crowhead. Also, it was just it was just funny because, yeah, we're all from like we all met in Berkeley where he's from. And, you know, I don't know. It's long December. It's a classic about December and how things are going to be better next year.

Like, it was just amazing. I'll send you the video. You're going to be blown away by the effort. I mean, I felt very loved. That's for sure. So you are the opposite of the bait like those first baby born like you are the last baby born of yeah yeah i was born at like 6 a.m so i don't think my mom could have waited until the new year right right yeah where are your headlines you know where where

are the headlines for the 6 a.m on december 31st, babies? I know. I think the headline should be that my mom lived in the East Bay and got a doctor in San Francisco. So I was officially born in San Francisco. Why would you plan to cross a bridge when you're in labor? That's what I don't understand. What if there's traffic? Oh, my God. What if there's a... I won't even say it.

Yeah. If I had been born two hours later, you know, I would have been born on the bridge. That would be pretty tight. And then they'd be singing a different song for you. I think that's a Creedence Clearwater song. Born on a bridge. Another East Bay band.

Yeah. All right, Amy, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. Joe Manchin is possibly coming to the table a little bit, possibly, maybe. Scooting his chair. He's bringing some bullshit to the table with him, but he's coming.

He's coming to the table. He's scooching. He's scooching in. Oh, look who decided to come out of their bedroom. We're going to talk about some of these concerned parents that you see on Fox. They will often be introduced as just a concerned parent who decided to get involved in politics because they were so outraged. And maybe not the truth, which is shocking. I know for Fox News.

We'll talk about the Victoria's Secret angels and twins. On top of that, we will talk about the victoria's secret angels and twins uh on top of that we will talk about those twins you can actually get an airbnb at uh the dungeon where at aliens and uh quam and i were recorded so we'll talk about that i finally found some compelling ufo debunking material that i will talk about yeah this was a podcast that a few people had sent us uh over the last couple weeks i realized and i'm like wait i've seen this mic right this is the one thing everyone was like listen to this one try this one yeah this one somebody finally gave me the time code or at least i found the time code so appreciate y'all we're gonna get to all of that plenty more but first amy we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history oh you know i've been

in denver too long as i told you guys and um i did look up green they're so crazy about their green chili it's like your state you have one food you guys got one food and so i was looking at recipes for green chili um It seems pretty easy to make. I don't know. Every time I've had it here, it's been kind of bland. So I really don't know what all the buzz is about. But I'm going to try to make it. Wait, what's green chili?

It's like they put it on shit. Like, no, it's made with tomatillos. Oh, it's like chile verde, basically? Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm like, I ain made with like tomatillos. Oh, it's like chile verde, basically? Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm like, I ain't heard that out here. The Colorado, they like lay claim to it, which is really weird because, you know, of Mexico.

And they put it on everything. Fries and sandwiches and pasta. It's like, yeah, it's their food. So I just looked it up and it was really underwhelming, the recipe itself. So I don't know. It's fine. I'm saying it's fine. Yeah, Zeitgang, if you know, is there a difference between Colorado green chili and

what I know is just chile verde? I think that in Colorado it's bland. Right. They had to like gringo-fry it a little bit. They don't use any salt or spice green ketchup it's like a good food but without salt oh okay i didn't even realize they had like a thing that they were yeah oh yeah okay oh yeah yeah because like green chilies i think of like new mexico right right right that's where like I think of it being like a thing. But yeah.

Okay, Colorado. Okay. They needed something before they were America's Amsterdam, you know? So this was something that they could put on their resume. That's true. They only do green stuff. They're only known for green things. Yeah.

What else have you been doing while you're in Denver? Anything fun? Just a lot of comedy, pretty much. It's like 104 degrees. Oh, shit. Oh, there too, huh? Yeah. Typically, I would be out.

You know, I would go to the zoo or something, make the most of my time on the road. But no, I'm staying in. It's too hot. I did go to a Rockies game. That was really fun. Yeah. I went to a Dodger game recently. Getting a baseball game is nice. It just feels like good, safe, and easy fun.

Yeah, Rockies games are super cheap. I mean, even post-pandemic, they're like $7 to go see the Rockies. It was super fun. I had a hot dog. With green chili on it? Rocky dog. No, but I bet you they would do it. I bet you.

Do you see any dingers? Yeah, I did. We saw two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they were playing the Padres, so I can't remember who. It wasn't Machado, but yeah. No, it was a really great game. That's cool.

Nice to be back out yeah the first interesting fact I've ever heard about golf my friends were texting each other about how much they like mountain golf and I assumed that was just like something boring but apparently you can hit it like twice as far like when you're golfing

in the mountains because the air being thin yeah that's why when Hideo Nomo threw a no hitter against the Rockies it was really impressive because that stadium really favors uh the offensive play yeah yeah the balls carry for sure yeah that's pretty cool and i remember that just to bring it back to no more i made my mom let me miss school the next day to celebrate the historical moment the japanese got through the no-ter so yeah i would just find ways to be like yo i can't we can't go to school today like not after that mom like i can't do this now like what do you want me to do like we got to honor this she's like fine fool like just oh she really let you stay home yeah yeah she's just like i'll just say

you're sick but i told my friends like no, because no one will do that. No hitter. Sick with pride, mom. Yeah. Sick. Sick with it. Yeah. My dad used to let me stay home from school for the first two days of the NCAA tournament. Oh, wow. See? We all got little weird ways that we, you know, disenfranchise our children from getting in.

I didn't really ask. I just didn't go. Nobody seemed to care. What's something you think is overrated? Roasts. Comedy roasts. Tired of them. I did a show the other night in Colorado that had a roast element, but I had headphones

on and then people said mean things about me. I don't know what they said. I'm just tired of roasting. about me i don't know what they said i'm just tired of roasting so it was just like hey don't face your tormentors and you don't know why everyone's laughing at you pretty much yeah i offered someone in the crowd 20 bucks cash to tell me the meanest things that they said but i'm just like listen like it's a good it's a good um vehicle for writing jokes and i do like that but I'm just tired of tired of roast culture I want to get down with nice comedy yeah sweet sweet stuff sweetheart comedy I think it's harder I think it's because I think so much of our comedy was just about being like cleverly mean

early on which is why I think a lot of like mean kind of like what's happening now this used to kill and it's like well that's because you were just like the cleverest verbal bully. And you can articulate a lot of things like that. But on top of it all, it's very toxic. Yeah, I feel like the nice stuff's hard. Well, that's why it's so cool, Kyle Ayers' show, The Compliment Rose. Those are always really fun. Because you still write jokes.

And it's competitive. And you feel so nice after. Yeah. I think it's a good exercise feel so nice after. Yeah. I think it's a good exercise, right? To think of how can I make being so kind actually just as funny as like the traditional thing of like, let me point out what's different about this asshole. Absolutely. I'm tired of it.

I feel like that. So you were sitting on stage with headphones on. And a blindfold. And a blindfold. Oh, wow. The blindfold adds an extra element of, I guess that's less. Like a firing squad or something. Yeah. And they were playing the band Static X in my ears.

It was really horrific. Wow, you couldn't even choose your own. That's terrible. I was going to ask, like, what were they playing to try and blast out the sounds? And it's Static X. Good to know. Yeah, it was weird. I feel like that is like an actual nightmare that somebody had

and was like, I have to make this real for a comedian. Yeah, the nightmare is I flew to Colorado to have my good friends say mean things about me. Right. Doesn't make any sense. Yeah. They're still going strong, though. You know, Comedy Central's still heavily committed to roast culture.

Yeah. Yeah. Over leveraged, I'd say. I think they're a little over leveraged. They're upside down on the roast culture. It's funny, too. Like, when you see, like, I've seen reality shows or, like like on a, you know, the format of shows. There's like a bunch of people in a house like without TV.

So they have to resort to doing their own like entertainment. I'll see them do like we're going to do a roast tonight. And then you see the amateur version of it. And you're like, oh, my God. Like this is actually you guys are just just like very hostilely insulting each other. And then some people are laughing like oh they don't get what it is and i'm like that's why yeah maybe the roast culture yeah they roast on they try to roast on drag race sometimes and it's always really funny that some uh some unfunny queen

like couldn't write jokes and then she just calls rupaul old and irrelevant? And then RuPaul's like, sashay away. Yeah, you're like, hey, you fucking fracker, motherfucker. I know. No one mentions the fracking, that's for sure. Fracking's off the table. They'll be like, I got to edit it out.

If you say the F word on this show, we'll get canceled. Like, fuck? No fracking. Fracking. You can say fuck all you want. What is something you think is underrated, Amy? Pot roasts.

Delicious. Hey, keep an eye on the roast coin. I mean, yeah, roast and roast. I feel like there's all these sort of classic foods that we put in this category of like, oh, this is like a 60s housewife food or whatever. But like a pot roast is so good. Put veggies in there slow cook it i mean you're eating for a week it's delicious heavily support pot roast culture yeah don't throw that

in there with like dry meatloaf and fucking jello molds with ambrosia salad yeah ambrosia salad those pot roasts are delicious yeah yeah good and the thing is though people don't realize too a lot of times you might go in the store like that big ass hunka meat's probably like 900 dollars man chuck roast is cheap and so when it's on special i buy the fuck out of it for the same reason to just slow cook it because yeah that's a tougher cut but there's a lot of connective tissue in it too that when you cook it down over time it like makes whatever you're making have a little more of this like meat quality to it yeah so i get i get behind that it's the tendons the tendons make it all soft and moist i make my guinness stew with uh chuck roast oh that sounds good yeah yeah a little uh

pressure cooker that shit is no. Nah, no pressure. Nah, just old school, baby. Right. Low and slow. But for people who are bad at cooking like me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The pressure cooker is like a. Paperized that shit with the paper.

Yeah, it's like a fucking magic trick. It's like, holy shit. Yeah. I still don't have one, but for the amount of like canned beans I eat, I feel like I owe it to myself to just get up like a pressure cooker so I can just make my own black beans you're a big bean boy oh you know i'm a bbb big bean boy big baller brand uh yeah i love beans you gotta make your own beans i always buy dry beans put them in the instapot see and that's what i'll see that's what i'll how long does it take i mean not a couple hours oh people should know that.

You could do it in 30, 40 minutes. Right, right. Amy and I can see it, but for the listeners, Miles is recording this over a trash can fire with a can of baked beans that he's eating just out of the can. And I got these cuts on the corner of my mouth because I don't take the lid off all the way, so it cuts it on the side because I just sip them out the can. It was nice to hear trash can fire in its literal meaning. You know, it's just like, I'm tired of dumpster fire, like trash fire in general. Yeah.

You know, on Twitter or whatever. Right. That was nice. I really painted a picture. Also get a bad name. A little nice little trash can fire down by the tracks. Yep. Get your oil drums out, folks. Another Credence

Clearwater song that I enjoy. Do, do, do, it's trash can fire. Alright, let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about Joe Manchin more. Yay.

How do you feel about biscuits? 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? I 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.

And Joe Manchin is a senator. A Democratic senator, apparently. What is the Democratic in name only? Would that be a dino in name only would that be a dino i guess it would be a dino yeah this is fitting i think for most democrats in general dinosaurs who are all millionaires like right i think like what is it 50 of congress's millionaires think about that anyway joe manchin yes he's been one of the people, along with Christian Sinema from Arizona, to really drag his feet and hold up a ton of legislation that could occur. And I'm sure it's, you know, it must be nice for Joe Biden to use that as an excuse to to be like, well, I can't do anything because of Joe Manchin. But now he's beginning to change his stance a little bit on voting rights and the filibuster.

Not in a way that I would say, hooray, Joe Manchin has come to the table. More like, oh, this dude is trying to. OK, Joe Manchin, what is this exactly? He introduced a compromise bill that he said he could vote for because a lot of people like, why would you vote for the for the people act like the thing that, you know, would help keep our votes safe and, you know, do or at least protect us from all the fuckery we see in a lot of Republican controlled states where they're essentially just trying to be like, dude, votes don't count unless you're like white and you're voting for Republican. And even if you guys do vote and win, we'll find a way to just overturn it. So he does. He wasn't supporting that version because there weren't enough Republicans supporting. weren't enough Republicans supporting. Now he has his new bill, which has things like mandates for early voting, like automatic voter registration when people turn 18. And I think most importantly,

a ban on partisan gerrymandering, because a lot of shit is born out of like just like this really crude gerrymandering that is going on in many states, actually all states. So the other thing is he opposes, though, things like the ability to have a no-excuse absentee vote, just to be like, no, I don't need an excuse. I just want to vote absentee. And he's also just watering down a ton of other things. And while Stacey Abrams supports it, a lot of people are like, this is fucking bullshit, dude.

Like, you suck. There's still voting shit right isn't that like he's like still trying to push for voting id laws being it would be slightly less draconian in the types of id that would now be accepted okay so but still obviously like i mean in general you have to prove who you are when you vote, but rather than making like, it has to be this kind of idea, blah, blah, blah. You can't take this. That's loosening somewhat. But at the end of the day, if you're not, you know, philosophically, if you can't offer the people, the IDs that they need, and it's not free or like a very easy process, then we're getting into a poll tax territory because you're essentially saying like, oh, you got to pay to,

to do this or whatever. So yeah, it's it's uh it's far from perfect and probably supports the compromise because it's what she wants or because she thinks it has a better chance of passing i i don't know that's the other hard part is that what are the chances of passing because even with this it's gonna need 10 republicans to get over the line and unless and because the fucking filibuster that's it's only making things more complicated which brings us to this other thing is that he said he's open to changing some of the rules around the filibuster not doing away with it completely but even then i don't know you know what who's in his head clearly he's he's getting pressure from like every fucking dimension and angle possible.

So it's hard to know, like what where he's actually at with this. But, yeah, I think Stacey Abrams is saying, I think looking at things like the gerrymandering being gone, like, well, that's a pretty significant thing to be taken out. But then the voter ID shit is just kind of like the like, let's like it. There's not a voter fraud problem there's no there's just not like there we we have the evidence that that's not a problem this only serves to disenfranchise like young people poor people and in my case the disorganized and lazy who like will not go out and get real specific idea id yeah fuck that i'm like fuck it i'll take my passport everyone i have the real idea i know i was so glad when it got extended

what a great pandemic we had because it was supposed to be october right this october now it's next year so we have some more time to get those real ids folks oh thank three months i guess fuck uh that actually just made me anxious but maybe that's what i like to do here there we go i mean maybe if like he gets this gets enough support and then like i have no hope that this is gonna actually get republican support but maybe this will help get here with the democrats a little bit more jerrymandering the republicans gonna fucking side they're like that's the only that's their lifeblood but if he's showing his hand of like okay this is what i'm for and he sees that the republicans are

just straight up like block obstructionist, then maybe he'll kind of come come around a little bit. I mean, this is like all thinking 20 steps down the line and who the fuck knows what's going to happen. I mean, to what Stacey Abrams specifically said, she said what Senator Manchin, this is a direct quote, quote, what Senator Manchin is putting forward are some basic building blocks that we need to ensure that democracy is accessible no matter your geography. And then that the tenets of the proposal were, quote, strong ones that will create a level playing field, will create standards that do not vary from state to state.

And I think will ensure that every American has improved access to the right to vote. I think, you know, activists and other people who are looking at the original legislation would be like, can't we get this version? But I don't know. I mean, like we may very well be in a place where there's not much else can be done. Right. But yeah, I guess that's my question is like this bill, would it make things better from where we are right now? Like in some instances it would make it better. And in some it would be like stricter voting ID laws. Like the things in this bill are definitely going to be a difference in what the laws that we have on the books now, for sure. OK, so like, yes, I think on some level, if you're like a Democrat

who's counting votes, your your mentality is don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, et cetera. But, you know, I think when you look at just sort of how severe and how intense the campaign is on the right to disenfranchise voters, it's almost like I feel like we should be firing back harder than this. But yeah, that's why I'm a podcaster who left politics. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the not completely disastrous is what I'm always telling my wife. But we're dying.

Yeah. Come on. It we're dying. Yeah. Come on. It's a start. It's also like a buttering up of Mansion, right? Like, it probably won't pass, but if it did, it's like, oh. I mean, he's clearly power hungry. Like, he loves to be in this pivotal position. Right.

And, you know, this is something that if it passed, it would be like, see, buddy? Yeah. See, you got your little thing. Hey your little thing hey brothers are yelling at me it's okay it's okay i'll protect you is it wasn't there something where he was making noise about like possibly getting this to get people to come around on the january 6th like looking into what actually happened on that i haven't actually even read about that because every time i read it's so depressing when it's like capitol police being like that coward republican wouldn't shake my hand and i protected him on january 6th god and you're like this is a

whole big yeah look man if it's an omni crisis constantly in this country all right let's talk about the concerned parents and teachers on fox news yeah this probably shouldn't surprise people but given the rights new obsession with critical race theory it's it turns out that some of the quote parents and teachers who are most alarmed about the possibility of critical race theory are just actually like act right wing activists straight up out of the fucking goblin swamp putting on a disguise that's not even a disguise it's just a different lower third to be like i am concerned parent there's like we talked about how critical race theory has been just completely all over the place on right wing media 1500 Fifteen hundred mentions since March.

There's this one guest who appears a lot. His name's Ian Pryor. And whenever they they have him on as like a guest, like this is a Loudoun County parent who has gone from concerned parent, like many of you, to legal activist. And they're like and he's like, oh, my God, you know, like I'm just a parent. And then, you know, I saw how bad this critical race theory stuff was and I had to get involved. Here's the thing. The Daily Beast just sort of kind of did a very basic analysis of just like Googling these people. And Ian Pryor, first of all, has been on Fox like dozens of times just before like the before the critical race theory hysteria

just as an unconcerned parent or what was he doing well here's the deal happy parent Ian Pryor he did launch a pack opposing critical race theory but he's also an ex-spokesperson at the Department of Justice and has also worked for

very many high profile Republican groups. So this is a guy who's straight out of this. Like, yeah, he's an operative. This is he's. Yeah, we know. We see you now. Yeah.

And one more is this concerned teacher where they're just like, oh, look at this teacher. One of the teachers who was at that school board meeting, like that's how they introduced this one guest, because, you know, all their footage is of people being like, this is crazy. My kid is going to learn bad stuff and it will harm him. That person is Lilit Venetian, who is actually affiliated with a pro-Trump political group,

as we all know, or Charlie Kirk's favorite. Turning Point USA. Turning Point USA. Also runs a Teachers for Trump social media group and has worked as a reporter for an outlet right side broadcasting network who you've probably seen on YouTube where they do like non-news. That's another person who goes on to kick and scream about critical research. Is this person still teaching? Like this all sounds like the biggest conflict of interest I've ever heard. I can't imagine they are, right? It's

like it's almost like once you teach, then you can go parading around on TV saying you're a teacher, you know, like where people in their mind, it's like irrelevant if they're actually teaching. And they're like, this person's a teacher. They're like, yeah, I've I've been ousted from many districts about five years ago. But now I just sort of use this title to help bolster right wing talking points. So she was not a teacher in Loudoun County schools. I don't know specifically if she was, but that's just that's that's why it's so insidious, because the description, one of the teachers who was at that school board meeting, you could be a teacher from fucking any town USA. But you were at that meeting. And then I guess that still holds. And you're saying that's one of you were at that meeting and then i guess that still holds

and you're saying that's one of the teachers at that meeting yeah and i mean both sides are very guilty of like being selective when it comes to their like the talking heads they bring on we talked about how we had sort of a warped view of how likely it was that muller was gonna like lead trump out of the White House in handcuffs because they had all prosecutors on and no defense attorneys who were like actually this isn't like the stuff that

everybody's freaking out about is not as damning as y'all think it is. But to actually like fully just like fabricate talking heads is pretty pretty whack and bad faith. Yeah. It's interesting that it's so much more effective.

Like what I don't, I mean, I don't have kids, but I don't feel like just because someone else also has children that they're now an expert on whatever I think keeping my kids safe means in this case, teaching them the truth about american history and then on top of that critical race theory i think that's the other thing that the whole conversation gets

hijacked is that it's not even taught in elementary schools the this concept of critical race theory again graduate level at the university level that's where this kind of actual academic discipline is where someone in you know in school is going to intersect with this. Not because, again, they're not teaching it to like kindergartners, although in Texas, I think they're just funny, though. Yeah. And Texas, I think they've just Abbott is now signing a bill that will ban like discussion about race or something like teachers can't talk about it so i mean i went to christian school so i was like learning the bible in kindergarten which is a way crazier thing to teach a little kid yeah absolutely like you have kids do you just are you like well that guy's a parent too so i'm gonna listen to him i only trust people who have kids everybody else uh totally childless demons i'm fully aware and i went into parenting

fully aware that parenting gives you a form of temporary like insanity that that's why we all that's why like ad executives like they target 18 to 34 because 35 is the average age of americans that have kids it's like they're like after that, you're just like that. We can't. Yeah. Can't really respect anything that you have to say. So I actually trust people who have kids less because I think they're just we're inherently biased by like whatever happens to be going on with our kids. So but I think I'm somewhat unique.

And now I also want to see the papers on that on that with our kids. But I think I'm somewhat unique in that. I also want to see the papers on that guy's kids. Or I want to see the three years of planning they got for we need somebody to procreate with this activist. The Koch network

finds some person willing to carry their child. You will procreate with this person that will give you the cover for our 15 year critical race theory campaign. All right. Let's talk about what we're all really thinking about. And that is when are we going to get to see the Victoria's Secret angels again, baby? Never. Never. Why? Are they banned? Look, Victoria. Never. What? Never. Why? Are they banned? Look, Victoria's Secret, I think they got the message because their business has been declining for years.

They've altered their marketing and they've ditched the Angels and they're replacing them with the VS Collective. And this collective isn't a group of, you know, cis women with impossible proportions. This is a, you know, a diverse group, including soccer star Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra, South Sudanese-Australian runway model Adut Akech, Amanda Decadene of The Conversation, skier Aileen Gu, plus-size model Paloma El Cesar, and trans model Valentina Sampaio. And, yeah, they're just trying to get away from this other thing. They can't call them angels? You guys probably don't know this, but I think their business also has been declining because their underwear falls apart.

Like everything is useless once you wear it one time on your body. Like it's not a good product. And it's it feels very dated. You know, like Victoria's Secret is such a like 90s situation. Right. I mean, I don't think I'm alone in that. I think so. Their main demographic just grew up like it's me.

You know, it's like 40 year old women who are like. Remember the 90s when you're hyper sexualized? Where will you go now? It's like, I don't know. I fucking woke up out of that haze and realized what the world was. Just soaking myself in their like pear lotion and wearing bras that didn't hold up literally anything. Yeah. And didn't fit.

And they're overpriced. Yeah. That pear lotion just gave me such a sense memory. Yeah. Oh. I mean, yeah. When Jack used to slather himself in it. Yeah.

Well, it was from when I was, you know, 12, 13. So you can fill in the blanks. That and what was it? Not fruit, herbal essences shampoo. I mean, you had the whole scent kit going. You're like, that's herbal essences with warm vanilla sugar from Bath and Body Works. Yeah. It's like your hair is not clean if you're not having an orgasm in the shower.

Right. Everybody. Your hair is not clean if you're not having an orgasm in the shower. Right. Everybody. Which is what makes this like sort of and there's this guy at the federalist who it just shows you again it reinforces this conservative worldview of like what this sort of very gender normative heteronormative like male female dynamic is quote it was less than 20 years ago that a series of

beer commercials featured two busty blonde sisters diane and elaine klimazewski the two were branded as the coors light twins and became controversial in the 2004 colorado senate republican campaign of pete coors then the chairman of the brewing company goes on to say at the time it was a scandal for a conservative politician to endorse the ads in what used to be a red state. Now it's conservatives mocking Victoria's Secret's abandonment of the busty blonde stereotype as a perfectly legitimate source of sexual attraction as the progressive movement seeks to eliminate gender differences altogether. Uh huh. Yeah, that's clearly what they're doing. Do you know what Victoria's Secret is? Like, first of all, like, because it's not a strip club.

You know what I mean? They sell underwear for people. But again, I think this shows, like, the brainwashing of marketing that occurs, too even this man is like what the heck's going on this what what's what happened to just be getting off to busty blonde women i don't get where the fucking earth has gone he goes on to say quote the the rules now appear reversed it's liberals who seem to be repulsed by the unapologetic sex appeal of twin blondes at a football game sponsored by a patriotic american beer company uh then he goes on to say like washington football team and then says formerly the washington redskins talks about how they got rid of their cheerleading squad um and they would

probably prefer like the new squad be transgender minority and overweight quote as a righteous rejection of basic beauty standards demanding viewers reject their primal inhibitions what the fuck is going on he's been turned down a lot i think for sex and he's what if we i would love if the company came out and was like okay so we've never actually told you what victoria's secret is and the secret is she is trans. She's mixed race. Oh, God, I knew something was wrong. I knew it this whole time. But like this whole thing, too, this idea of like that they're like the rejection of, quote, basic beauty standards.

First of all, what the fuck does that mean? The Coors Light twins couldn't be more basic, like basic in the bad way. Where's my Aryan fap material? Right. That's what I'm looking for. But this is also thing. It's like back to this sort of strip club comparison, because it's it is this notion that women are the playthings of men that is fueling this outrage where he's realizing he's like well what gets me off isn't what society is like even trying to market anymore so now he's like what what's going on what does

that mean about my power to say no it's got to be big breast blonde women yeah they i mean this is the whole conservative thing is they have to create straw men and then act like it's a thing they have to defend. Like they have to defend traditionally attractive blonde women like that. They're being attacked because. Well, God forbid. Yeah. People have other ideas of how to feel good about themselves. Yeah.

I mean, Priyanka Chopra. Oh, you're going to make me look at her come on what who are you it's uh it's interesting too for conservatives that are like evangelical christians because there's not i mean it's very anti like it's a sin to over sexualize women i I mean, yes, like keep them from power. Of course, the Bible is very misogynistic. But like, yeah, you're not supposed to just see women as sexual beings. So it's interesting. Yeah. I mean, shockingly hypocritical for conservatives. I can't believe it. Right. And I think that's where you see, especially with evangelicals, how quickly they're willing to pivot away from things that you thought were like foundational to their religion in service of this more like ethno nationalistic paternalistic agenda, which is like white man.

We're number one. We tell the ladies how to dress. They listen and we're good forever. Let's not do this. Sorry, I was using God as cover to make it seem like i wasn't just a toxic shit pile but yeah i guess now that my back's against the wall i will say you know what jesus would have liked the twins too you would have jerked off to that commercial like jesus was a blonde with big tits everybody knows that oh my god can you imagine the wearing a t-shirt with a

new version of the crucifixion with that version of Jesus? That would sell some. He's just stacked. Yeah. He's got a huge dong just dangling below his sash. Did he wear a sash? I guess it's not a sash. Or that underwear.

Yeah, whatever. I guess it's not a loincloth either. Now you guys know what kind of church I went to. Jesus was just ripped and dressed like Tarzan. Yeah. The church of hot Jesus. Yeah. He had like jewelry on too and shit.

He was like, yeah, he was kind of dope. All right. Let's take a quick break and 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 proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. 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? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

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.

Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and there's a possibility let's say if you're really quick on the trigger, that you could stay in the dungeon where Outkast recorded two of the great rap albums of all time, according to Geriatric Millennials.

And yeah, just a bunch of shit where TLC's Waterfalls was produced. Organized noise. Yeah. That's where it all started. I mean, you remember jack you were you would be in class out in school and i would just be in the dungeon shooting pool yeah uh you know thinking of the second album like es to the pn i mean that the dungeon if you are familiar at all like it's constantly mentioned the dungeon family it's all because of this basement studio um in

lakewood area of atlanta where all of this stuff was recorded and i got so excited because it to me it's always a thing i've heard reference or i've seen like old pictures of when you look at like retrospectives about like atlanta hip-hop or outcast and apparently uh big boy bought the house back in 2019 and it's like been just renovated now and done up to sort of aesthetically mirror uh like elements of like outcast lore like there's like a stankonia clearly like a reference reference to stankonia like painting on the wall and like speaker box love below room type things but they're gonna have three overnight stays okay at the house in june or july for only 25 a night because the 25th anniversary of ATLians shout out

to geriatric millennials um yeah once it goes live it's first come first serve so I don't know if bots are gonna get to it but I'm I just love this kind of shit because more than like a dope ass fucking luxury hotel like I'm also kind of interested in like hey you want to go to like pop culture like significant places to stay like you know the fucking walter white's house or some shit like that i feel like that's a new wave that's slowly starting to emerge yeah they're i think they're also like putting little trailers like by the love shack that you can like rent out in athens georgia and then i know actually actually, I planned my best friend's bachelorette party like eight years

ago or something, and we rented out Fat Mike's house in Vegas, which he'll do for like 30 days at a time. He just goes to stay somewhere else or something. It's not cheap because you have to rent the whole month, but it's like the grotto.

There's a weird hot tub underground. Waitotto there's like a weird you know a hot tub underground fat mike mike tyson fat mike of uh no fx oh shit yeah it's in vegas and yeah i love this trend like it's you know i mean you can stay in a hotel whenever it's like being a part of history is really cool yeah and also like just to like quite literally you're in the building with the this energy was exchanged to create these albums like in in the basement you know a lot of people they signed like the rafters and things and they said all those signatures like are intact so like when you go there like you're gonna see like when you know andre signed it like in fucking 1995 or some shit and it's shit's still there and you're like this is the fucking space they did it i don't know there's something really i love something like that and it's the same thing

we saw with who was trying to do like i forget what other huge ip thing they were trying to to rent out it feels like the fresh prince house was a thing they did a couple years ago. But a lot of times the exteriors are not the same as the interiors, right? Maybe you would have to carve it up a little bit. This feels like the perfect one because it's not a thing that we've seen.

We've only imagined it in our minds. What other house do you want to stay? I want to stay at the Soprano house. I'm surprised they haven't opened up paisley park yet like you can tour but they haven't rented it out to my knowledge that would be dope the is the manson house still standing the murder house the sharon tate murder house yeah someone just bought it i think yeah like that that's what would be the other side of that coin like as like a dare if you can like

stay in there for a whole night oh yeah like you can say like the shining hotel is a big one people yeah you just rent that entire thing out with three with your family for a week in the winter. 1.9 million. For the Manson house? That seems cheap for LA right now. Gruesome murder happening. I got some weird vibes in there. It said after eight months on the

market, they sold at a discounted price. Who are the LaBiancas is that another family that got killed no i think that might be okay no that's just that that's oh that's not the same oh okay i'm not i'm not a big like murder person so i don't know i just know that there's a headline saying the charles manson murder house finally oh i think there was another family that got killed that oh okay so it's another terrible gruesome murder where you can now you your family can grow up you too can yeah it's probably not a great place to raise a family but like you could definitely rent it out and like yeah just do like

fucking true crime hotel weird shit for people into that and then just like go in and fuck with people in the middle of the night and it would be legendary like that yo that's what so we are developing a podcast with a youtube channel that does like haunted house shit and like so when you go like watch their videos they go like on the queen mary and like all these different they go to these haunted locations and like the stuff that happens you're like oh so these people like have a very elaborate like business model like the people who run the hotels where they like do weird shit that is like will freak you out in the middle of the night yeah oh yeah there's a there's a hotel in tucson hotel congress where they there's

one room they never rent out allegedly because it's so haunted but they'll like let you go in there and like here's some shit and sometimes they're like well we're super sold out so we had to rent the ghost room for cheap and according to the manager people never end up staying the whole night like they'll be like i can do it i don't believe this shit and then they end up checking out like two hours later i i'm constantly filled with regret over when i moved to portland i found this house it's a three-bedroom house victorian gorgeous it was right by work where i was gonna work it was 900 a month in 2012 and i was like something's up so i looked and there had been a murder suicide just a couple months before a couple months wow yeah they were renting it at a discount and it was like in the news and

everything and i'm like oh i guess i'm too creeped out to live here by myself and then you know three years later i was like damn I could just be renting out the other rooms. I could be Airbnb 900 a month. Like, yeah, I grew it. And it's like one of the houses we lived in was like the neighbors that we live next to were the first family to live there after somebody had killed themselves in that house. And like that was all I could think of had killed themselves in that house and like that was all i could think about like when we lived in that house i was just like that blew me away like i could not in my mind i thought they destroyed houses people even naturally died in i don't

know as a kid i'm like nobody can live in there now like you have no there's like cleaning services and shit that was my child brain but it was just like it was the house on the side with a basketball hoop. And every time I like missed a shot and it rolled over there, like that's what I was thinking about. I was like, oh, damn. I wonder if it was that room. Right. Sardine and pretzel. I will say this.

Amy, this might be relevant to you. Would you be down to go drink at the new amsterdam from mr jones was down at the new amsterdam staring at this yo so apparently it's i'll go to any crow's sights international sports bar it's it was i was just reading this thing about this guy didn't realize he was working in the bar that used to be the new amsterdam from mr jones and it's a it's a bar in i think the mission or no it's on columbus and it used to to be the new amsterdam from mr jones and it's a it's a bar in i think the mission or no it's on columbus and it used to be called the new amsterdam it's now called the international sports bar but you want to strike a yellow conversation that dang yellow haired girl

yeah who was one of the chorus light twins actually the thing was he was i guess actually in a flamenco group. So that line about the flamenco dancing wasn't just some weird lyrical thing. I was also going to say, it's been too long in Denver. Earlier. It's been on my mind ever since. Yep, man. All right.

Let's talk about some UAP debunking material. Listener Amanda Price, I think other listeners had shared this podcast with us. Amanda shared the time code that included the relevant interview. Shout out to the lazy and disorganized.

Yes. Thank you. I need it. And if you could actually start the video for me, that would be great. Can you play it? Put the thing to my ear second here. So I think they just did a really good job of presenting the information that skeptics are trying to get across. So the videos that they're particularly debunking are the Tic Tac videos, like the one where the people are like, whoa, we locked onto it, we got it. like the one where the people are like whoa like we locked onto it we got it and the person doing the debunking is a former video game programmer who therefore has tons of experience doing 3d modeling and like so has a really good sense of like perspective and like what something would

look like and he points out that like broadly for the same reason that biden jimmy carter picture looked so wild the lens yeah just like perspective and lens distortion that the tic tacs only look like they're moving extremely fast and he said that like if you look at so if you look at all of the information that's like uh contained in the video it is actually probably way up in the sky the the actual tic-tac is way up in the sky it looks like it's speeding over the water but and i think i got this right but i'm he i think he's saying that the horizon of the water is actually in the foreground and the Tic Tac is like beyond it. And so as it's moving slowly, it looks like it's speeding over the water and it's it's not.

It's just moving. So what is it seeing that he's basically saying that it's moving the speed of like when you look at how high up it is that's how fast the wind moves at that level like with this perspective shift and he also said it's because it's a black white infrared targeting camera and this it's on a black hot setting that the fact that it's white just means that it's extremely cold and so he's saying that it's probably and this is like the standard answer for all uaps or ufos a weather balloon but like that that makes sense it's big enough to like see at a distance to like create weird perspective distortion and it would kind of look like a tic-tac at that distance and the reason

that it's like kind of fucking with everybody who looks at it is because the we're looking at it through a camera that is extremely classified that you've like never seen anything through it's like a targeting i think it's made by raytheon and it's like a targeting camera that is super powerful. And we don't typically see video from those targeting cameras. So it's just like not something we're used to looking at. So I, you know, he definitely presents a compelling case. And so my thing is that the Tic Tac has never been the most compelling like thing for me it's more the eyewitness testimony of that fighter pilot and the two fighter pilots who were in the same plane and for that their explanation just seems to be like there are people who believe in ufos who work in the military and

like are lying basically and that's so we got all these boring ass tech we still have this boring ass jets and propulsion systems and shit yeah exactly i did an episode of a podcast with jason pargin recently from the executive editor from back when i was at cracked and he's he's both interested in like paranormal stuff but but also like fully skeptical. So I was I've been like, oh, we got to get you on to like talk about the Tic Tacs. And first of all, I didn't know what I was talking about. But then when I further explained, he was like, oh, that story is so annoying. Just because like someone knows how to fly a plane doesn't mean they're not completely full of shit, which I was like, huh, I guess I can.

full of shit which i was like huh i guess i can like he's basically saying like there there are people in the pentagon and in the air force who just are lying who want to belong is lying so that's the thing the long or whatever we know that 182 don't don't lie so that's the one thing that we can kind of point to but But yeah, I don't know. I still, I don't think this like fully debunks it. I just think it, in terms of the Tic Tac videos, I think it is a plausible explanation. Definitely brings my enthusiasm down a little bit. But I'm also like, I'll always, you know,

I'll always believe the truth is out there. So that's just me. Yeah. So the thing that i kind of objected to about the this podcast called like the skeptic podcast or something uh they dismiss the people who like think this stuff is interesting as just being people who like want to have some inside information and like seem smart and i i don't i think that's like not giving it enough credence like i think that's that's how that's what i used to say when i was just like assuming that like we know everything there is to know and uh anything else is stupid and people need to shut up like i feel like it's just too dismissive i'm not

i'm always interested in people who actively want aliens to exist like what why like i need it i need it why are you so passionate yeah what do you need it for i have the perspective of like i'm always open to acknowledging that there's things we just don't know just in general as like a human being like i that's i try to have that mindset to be open to like learning things and not be so like that they're absolutes uh in terms of like what we can or can't know and so yeah so i think in those instances i'm like oh shit maybe but i'm definitely not like come on like i cashed out my 401k and i'm going uh uab hunting or uab hunting or whatever uap hunting uab you're not looking for it alabama birmingham yeah there is uab hunting exactly i think it i like there's a spiritual aspect to my wanting to believe in it

like the same i i think it's akin to people wanting to believe in gods or higher powers. Sexy Jesus. Oh, okay. So your religion is UFOs is what you're saying. I'm not saying that's my religion. I'm saying that I think there is like, and it's also, we saw a lot of the really interest in belief in UFOs, like going up as people became, I think,

less religious and went to church less and less. Like it just creates a like big, vast framework for the universe. And like, I could see a version where, you know, if they are friendly aliens who are just deciding not to kill us, which it seems like they could,

if they had this technology, then we are on a progressive path towards being... Oh, so you want just to believe in the universe. I want to believe in the Star Trek version of the universe where they're just like, they're not quite there yet, but once they stop killing each other, then we can let them into the club. What if we're just on a germ rock that's utterly fucked

yeah this is big news i didn't know jack was part of the alien church and it's i mean i think it's time for you to do my podcast church of yeah you just want there to be something more than this daily sludge that you call your life. Yeah, if I'm psychoanalyzing why I'm open to it, I think that's probably at least part of it. Your openness rather than your strict, you're not saying it's your strict belief. Yeah, it's definitely not my strict belief.

Yeah, I just think it's interesting. And I think it's like I used to dismiss it because of a assumption that like we knew everything there was to know. And I just don't think that's true. Oh, no, that can't be true. I mean, we're very dumb as a species. Exactly. Yeah, I think.

Yeah. But that as the foundation, then you're like, if that's true, then many other things are possible if we're dumb as fuck. Right. Right. other things are possible if we're dumb as fuck on this planet. Right, right. Well, Amy, it's been such a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist.

Some tweets I like.

First one is from at man cat in K a T T a N. And this is just a little reference to the post season of basketball. It says Ben misses a free throw and the crowd goes, Oh, like it's an episode of full house. And that just was, I felt that it just, Oh, it's hard. of full house and that just was I felt that it just it's hard can't escape this game

I cannot escape this game it's yeah you'll be happy to know that I did actually watch this one you did and the hat was off the hat was off yeah oh my god see I'm gonna just start wearing the hat to for new listeners and Amy I have a hat that i

stopped wearing because i thought it cursed the 76ers uh but they are irrevocably thoroughly cursed based on some i feel like there is this proximity to like the the perceived divine power we would have as sports fans through like our own singular actions affecting an entire sports team, like does feel like we don't, we're also very open to like alien life. It's like, well, I'm omnipotent also based on my hat use.

Yeah, no, it's so stupid. It's no, I love it. I mean, I'm the same with the guilt that I had about yelling at the sons after. So I'm like,

that's, that's why we lost. Cause I, I went too, I went too hard on them after the game. And another one is from, uh one is from Megan Graves tweeting, I need someone to film an OnlyFans vid with me. You pretend to be a mover helping me get my things from one apartment to the other.

I wear a tiny sundress and you don't touch me. You just move my things. This does not pay. That's a good idea. That's solid. And so many people were like, are you located i'd be down to shoot this video i'm down do you still need a camera like legit replies of course she has let's see some tweets josh gondelman tweeted the human body is incredible if i were designing a

person there's no way i would have thought to put a pancreas in there. I'd have thrown in a fish tank or something like Exhibit. Matt Leib tweeted, I'm more of a limb man well Samantha.
